There's a snake!

Once again, there's a conspiracy in Zootopia, and it's up to Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde to uncover the truth.

In today's lesson, we'll learn with some scenes where Judy meets Gary the Snake, the first snake to be seen in Zootopia in a century

and she discovers that snakes are not dangerous as she's been told.

And here's the best part, to help you not only learn all of the expressions we'll cover in today's scenes but also never forget them,

we want to give you all the smart flashcards for today's lesson for free.

thousands of learners just like you are becoming more fluent every day

and having fun while doing it If that sounds like something

that you'd like be sure to try our method You only need a few minutes a day to see real progress now.

Let's see Judy's first encounter with Gary Please you don't have to hurt him

Hurt him?

Snakes never hurt anyone.

We aren't the bad guys.

They are.

And this journal holds the secret that will prove it.

I have to prove it.

Please.

This is our only chance to set things right.

And when I do, my family will finally be able to come home.

So, Gary is immediately trying to convince Judy that snakes have been misunderstood all along.

Let's break down the language he uses to make his case.

Snakes.. never hurt anyone.

We aren't the bad guys.

They are.

In everyday English, bad guys means the villains.

The people doing harm, breaking rules, or causing trouble.

The opposite, naturally, is the good guys.

It's a very casual, informal way of talking about heroes and villains.

You might recognize this from Billie Eilish's hit song, Bad Guy.

Here, Billie playfully flips the whole idea.

She's the one claiming to be the bad guy.

And then, Gary reveals that the Linksley's journal is the key to Zootopia's biggest mystery.

When something holds a secret, it means that it contains hidden or crucial information that others don't know about.

We use the verb hold because the object is keeping something inside, like a container.

You could say, this old letter holds the answer.

Or her expression held a secret.

Listen to these other examples.

This candle holds the miracle given to our family.

Use this magic to get your father back.

I can't, not yet.

I don't understand.

This holds a power no human can access.

I think the clock holds a clue, so I need to get back to the garden and to Hattie.

And I mentioned the RealLife app earlier.

It really holds the secret for you to be able to speak confident, natural English.

Why am I so sure?

Well, I've personally learned six languages, and we've taught millions of English learners just like you over the last 15 years.

We used our experience to build the only English app you'll ever need.

insecure English learner to being a confident, natural English speaker, even if you only have 10 to 15 minutes per day.

And in fact, you can use the new words you're learning in a guided

speaking conversation based on this exact lesson with Zootopia 2 right now.

Stop just recognizing and forgetting new words and start being able to actually speak them naturally.

So try it for free.

Just click the link in the description.

Now, I bet you get frustrated when natives speak fast and you can't understand them, right?

Well, actually, the problem isn't usually about speed.

It's about connected speech.

That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together when speaking fluently.

Listen again to how Gary says, prove it.

So, connected speech usually happens when we have content words, nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc., and function words,

articles, particles, pronouns, auxiliary verbs, etc., together.

Function words link to content words or other function words, and sometimes even reduce or morph.

This is a simple example.

Instead of saying prove and it as two separate words, we say a smooth prove it.

Prove it.

Your speaking will only improve with lots of practice.

So listen to Gary again and try to say that just like him.

In this journal, holds the secret that will prove it.

Holds the secret that will prove it.

And we have another great instance of connected speech that we can practice in the clip where Gary first appears

Mayor Wind Dancer's exclamation almost sounds like just one word first

the article a usually just reduces to what's called a schwa sound uh-uh It then links to theirs There's a

There's a let's put it all together There's a snake There's a snake now you try say

that just like Wind Dancer There's a snake!

There's a snake!

So apparently, something went very wrong, and that's why Gary needs a secret inside the journal.

This is our only chance to set things right.

What do you think it means to set things right?

To fix a mistake or correct an unfair situation?

To move things to the correct position?

To tell the truth about something?

Nice!

This expression is about restoring justice after something has gone wrong.

Think about the movie Encanto.

Bruno spent years in the walls of the house because everyone blamed him for bad things happening.

His whole journey, and honestly the whole family's journey is about setting things right.

Here are a couple other examples.

I gotta go back and set things right.

We'll set things right.

Good job up to this point.

Let's fast forward in the movie.

Gary escapes, and Judy discovers that snakes are innocent, and the Lynxlies are the real villains.

100

As Nick and Judy get closer to uncovering the mystery of how snakes were banished from Zootopia, the Lynxlies have Nick thrown in jail.

101

However, Pawbert and Gary are able to rescue Judy just in time.

102

This character, Pawbert, is also a Lynxly, but he's the black sheep of his family and has agreed to help Gary.

103

A black sheep is a family member who does not fit in with the behavior

104

and values of the rest of their family, just like Elphaba from Wicked.

105

Now let's check out the scene where Judy wakes up after being saved by this duo.

106

You're not dead!

107

She's not dead!

108

What?

109

Sorry, sorry!

110

I just got my motorcycle license.

111

But out here, no one's gonna catch us.

112

Almost to me hideout.

113

We shall succeed, Judy Hopps.

114

We'll stop the lynx leaves and save your partner.

115

I'm sorry, you are...

116

Oh, Gary.

117

Gary the Snake.

118

Welcome to my oasis!

119

Ha ha.

120

Away from my evil family.

121

I like to come here, just kinda veg out.

122

Ooh.

123

Get with all my cat stuff.

124

Wow.

125

No!

126

That's actually vintage.

127

Oh, man.

128

You could just not...

129

Oh, no, no, please don't.

130

Wow, mammals get some best stuff!

131

Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off, turn it off!

132

Whoa!

133

Sorry, sorry!

134

I just got my motorcycle license.

135

A license is an official document that gives you legal permission to do something.

136

A driver's license lets you drive a car, a pilot's license lets you fly a plane, a fishing license lets you fish lets you fish.

137

Pauvert isn't a great motorcycle driver yet because he just got his license.

138

Pauvert is a silly character so he playfully says this next line.

139

Almost to me hideout!

140

Okay, did you catch that?

141

Gary says, me hideout, instead of my hideout.

142

It's pirate speech.

143

A bit like how Captain Jack Sparrow would speak.

144

Pirates replace my with me.

145

Me ship.

146

Me treasure.

147

Me hideout.

148

And pirates often have a hideout.

149

A secret place to hide from people who are after them or to find tranquility.

150

Just like Batman's Batcave.

151

Now let's check out some interesting grammar that Gary used.

152

In modern English, we almost always use will to talk about the future.

153

We will succeed.

154

But shall is an older, more formal way of expressing the same thing.

155

We can use it when we want to sound more dramatic.

156

Here are a couple more examples. And next,

157

Judy uses a really useful social expression.

158

So this is a very polite, smooth way to ask someone's name.

159

The I'm sorry at the start isn't a real apology.

160

It's more like a way of saying excuse me or forgive me for not knowing.

161

It signals politeness before asking something slightly awkward.

162

For example, imagine you're lost in a new city.

163

You might ask a local, I'm sorry, but do you know where the train station is?

164

Welcome to my oasis!

165

Literally, an oasis is a green, fertile spot in the middle of a desert.

166

But we use it figuratively all the time to mean any peaceful place that exists within a stressful situation.

167

And I love the phrasal verb that Paubert used next.

168

Away from my evil family.

169

I like to come here, just kinda veg out.

170

Get with all my cat stuff.

171

What do you think veg out means?

172

To eat lots of vegetables and be healthy?

173

To completely relax and do absolutely nothing?

174

To redecorate your space?

175

Yes, this is a very casual, informal expression.

176

When you veg out, you usually do something mindless, like watching TV, scrolling on your phone, or staring at the ceiling.

177

Veg comes from vegetable, because when you veg out, you're about as active as a vegetable on the couch.

178

Similarly, we can call a lazy person a couch potato.

179

You know what, I don't feel like going out.

180

I'd rather just veg out in front of the television, like that.

181

The human being is called a couch potato.

182

Next, Gary goes a little crazy with all of Pawbert's cool objects.

183

No!

184

That's actually vintage!

185

When something is vintage, it's old, but in a good, desirable way.

186

It refers to things from the past that are now considered stylish, special, or collectible.

187

Vintage clothing, vintage cars, vintage furniture.

188

It's the opposite of old junk.

189

This word actually comes from wine making.

190

A vintage wine is one from a particularly great year.

191

The older and better the year, the more valuable the bottle.

192

Wow, mammals get the best stuff!

193

Gary is a snake, which means he's a reptile, not a mammal.

194

So what exactly are mammals?

195

They're warm-blooded animals that feed their young with milk.

196

Humans, dogs, cats, rabbits, all mammals.

197

Reptiles, like snakes, on the other hand, are cold-blooded.

198

Gary is just a little envious here of Pawbird's toys.

199

Let's wrap up with a final bit of connected speech.

200

You almost always see connected speech with phrasal verbs like this.

201

The T in it is between two vowels.

202

So we convert it to a tap T and connect it to off.

203

It off.

204

It off.

205

And then all three words flow together as if they were just one.

206

Turn it off.

207

Turn it off.

208

Listen again and try to say it just like Paubert.

209

Awesome work today!

210

Now comes the most important part of the lesson, your test.

211

You'll watch all the scenes again, this time without subtitles, and answer some quiz questions.

212

Ready?

213

I have to prove it, please.

214

Fill in the blank.

215

After years of rivalry, the two brothers finally sat down to talk and decided and decided to set things right.

216

This is our only chance to set things right.

217

And when I do, my family will finally be able to come home.

218

You're not dead!

219

She's not dead!

220

What?

221

Sorry, sorry.

222

I just got my motorcycle license.

223

But out here, no one's gonna catch us.

224

Almost to me hideout!

225

Gary says, We shall succeed, Judy Hopps.

226

Which sentence has the most similar feeling to this one?

227

We will get there soon.

228

We are going to try our best.

229

We will overcome this.

230

Or stop the lynxlings and save your partner.

231

You've just been introduced to someone at a networking event, but you miss their name.

232

Which is the most polite and natural way to ask.

233

Wait, who are you again?

234

I'm sorry, you are?

235

What did you say your name was?

236

True or false?

237

To veg out means to spend your free time doing something healthy.

238

False.

239

It means to relax completely and do nothing.

240

Get with all my cat stuff.

241

No!

242

That's actually vintage.

243

You could just not...

244

No, no, please don't!

245

Wow, mammals, this is the best stuff!

246

Turn it off!

247

Turn it off!

248

Turn it off!

249

Turn it off!

250

Oh yeah, if you haven't seen Zootopia 2 yet I'd say you're pretty prepared to watch it in English

262

I got this.

263

Jiggler, jiggler, jiggler.

264

Pops and wolves, you are not authorized.

265

Stand down and wait for backup.

266

Ah!

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
