- - Aw yeah!

I'm Ethan, your real -life English fluency coach, and today we're learning English with everyone's favorite Christmas movie, Home Alone.

I have 18 new expressions to teach you like these and native pronunciation.

So if it's important for you to remember the new words

and expressions that you learn so that you can actually use them when you get into a

Home Alone lesson for free on the RealLife English app.

You'll get a flashcard deck that has all the advanced expressions that you just saw.

The magic is in the innovative spaced repetition technology, which you'll see helps you to remember the new words.

forever.

Trust me, it was essential for me in learning six different languages.

Alright, so don't miss out on having the right words every time you need them.

You can get it for free right now with the link down in the description.

And now let's get started with this fun English lesson with Home Alone.

This is how the lesson will work.

First, you'll watch the clip with subtitles.

Then, you'll learn all of the key vocabulary and pronunciation.

And finally, you'll put it all to the test by watching the clips again without subtitles and answering some quiz questions.

Hey!

Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?

Hey!

He's in the living room!

He went up the ladder!

Why don't you guys try the stairs?

Right.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

Don't you remember what happened last year?

No. Watch this.

Let's get 'em!

Oh!

He busted me right in my mouth, Marv!

I want one.

Don't worry, Harry!

Oh.

I'll get him!

Ow!

Right in the schnoz!

That's two.

Come on, let's get him.

Oops.

- Thank you.

That's...

Three.

The burglar, if you remember what happened last year, which you can actually see in last year's Home Alone lesson that we did.

The link is down in the description below.

So they try to be smarter than Kevin by pretending that the trap is working.

But Kevin already thought ahead.

So now let's unbox some of the expressions.

So which one of these is a ladder?

Right.

A ladder is a portable climbing tool with horizontal steps called rungs.

You can lean it against a wall or use it to reach high places.

There are two other terms that learners often confuse with ladder.

These are called stairs, the permanent steps inside a building.

And this one that moves is an escalator.

Get him is a super common phrase that means to catch or grab someone, often used when chasing after someone.

In action movies and games, you'll hear this all the time.

Check out this other example.

He's not a humping board!

It's a board!

Give it to him!

Get him!

That's it, he's right in front of you!

Get him, get him, get him!

"Oh!

He busted me right in my mouth, Marv !" Now to bust someone in the mouth means to hit someone in the face.

Specifically in or around the mouth.

It's informal and a bit rough language.

Bust here means to hit or strike forcefully.

You might also hear "Bust someone in the nose" or "Bust someone in the jaw." Ouch.

Schnoz comes from Yiddish language and adds a bit of a humorous tone to the conversation.

It's a funny informal word for nose.

You might use this when joking around with friends.

That basketball hit me right in the schnoz.

Alright, you want to speak naturally and understand fast speaking natives, right?

Right.

So now let's practice some connected speech.

That's how we natives cut, reduce, and link our words together in fluent speech.

So listen again to how Kevin said this: First of all,

natives often reduce the pronoun "you" to just "ya".

Then we have a common pattern here.

When a word ending in T is followed by U, they morph together into a CHU sound.

But because the "u" is reduced, we hear "cha" instead.

So instead of "don't you know," Kevin said a fluent Don't you know?

Don't you know?

Your speaking will only get better with lots of practice, so try to say that just like Kevin.

Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?

Now let's check out some more connected speech from Marv.

He went up the ladder!

Often in English when we have an N and T together, we drop the T sound, like in international.

winner and 20.

So the "T" in "went" was dropped, and it connects to "up." went up.

went up the ladder.

one of the latter.

Listen to that again and try to say it just like Marv.

Alright, now let's rewind a bit.

Kevin tricked Marv and Harry into coming into this house that's under renovation, because earlier in the movie he ran into them in New York City

and found out that they were planning to rob a toy store.

100

A toy store whose generous owner donates all the sales on Christmas Eve to sick children in the hospital.

101

At midnight tonight, we're hitting Duncan's toy chest.

102

Five floors of cash.

103

Then after that, we grab a couple of phony passports, then it's off to Rio.

104

Ma!

105

Ma, I wanna shut up.

106

What's the difference?

107

He's not gonna talk to anybody.

108

except maybe a fish.

109

- Okay.

110

- Or the Undertaker's...

111

- Let's just get him to the subway tunnel.

112

I'll feel a lot better once we get him on ice.

113

They will donate money to it.

114

Right, check out these other examples.

115

So the store was hit about two hours ago.

116

They took mostly tablets, laptops, and cameras.

117

That jewelry store that got hit last night, they have this hidden security camera.

118

Sure looks like you.

119

And there are a few metaphors that they use at the end.

120

Listen again.

121

I'll feel a lot better once we get him on ice.

122

Those three terms are all euphemisms for someone being dead.

123

Kevin obviously won't let these two criminals get away with their plan, so he sets up a trap at the toy store before

124

making them follow him to the house where he has set up more tricks.

125

The amazing thing is, we're fugitives from the law, we're up to our elbows in cash, and there's nobody that even knows about it.

126

- He's back!

127

He took our picture!

128

How did my hair look?

129

This is it.

130

No turning back.

131

Another Christmas in the trenches.

132

Wow.

133

All right, remember again to learn and practice all those expressions of the app

134

so that you can use them confidently next time you get into an English conversation.

135

Now that you know the whole story, let's watch a

136

final great trap that Kevin sent.

137

Like a rock, huh, Marv?

138

Hey!

139

Do you guys give up?

140

Have you had enough pain?

141

Never!

142

You better say every prayer you ever heard before, kid!

143

I hope your parents got you a tombstone for Christmas!

144

Where'd he go?

145

I'm up here and I'm really scared.

146

What's that sound?

147

- Thank you.

148

That was the sound of a tool chest.

149

falling down the stairs.

150

"Come on Harry." "Marc, are you sure this is safe?" "Oh yeah.

151

Yep, I've worked all the kinks out."

152

To work all the kinks out of something means to fix all the issues so it works Perfectly.

153

A kink is a small problem.

154

Check out these other examples of kinks.

155

Your last brilliant plan had some kinks in it.

156

So what kind of security surveillance are we looking at?

157

And here they use the expression ironing out the kinks, which means the same as working the kinks out.

158

"How stable is it?

159

Still ironing out the kinks."

160

So Marv is saying he's fixed all the problems with his tower of furniture and it should be safe to climb up.

161

You might say, "I need to work the kinks out of my presentation." Or, "We're still working the kinks out of the new system." "Yep, I've worked all the kinks out.

162

It should be solid as a rock." And solid as a rock is a simile meaning extremely reliable, sturdy, or dependable.

163

As strong and immovable as a rock.

164

use this for plans, relationships, or physical objects.

165

Don't worry this ladder is solid as a rock.

166

Or their friendship is solid as a rock.

167

Of course as Harry observes shortly after, Marv is completely wrong.

168

Hey, you guys give up have you had enough pain?

169

Hmm do you guys give up?

170

What do you think Kevin is asking?

171

Do you want to surrender and stop fighting?

172

Do you want to climb higher?

173

Do you want a gift?

174

That's right!

175

To give up means to surrender, quit, or stop trying.

176

It's one of the most common phrasal verbs in English.

177

You can give up on a task, give up in a fight, or give up a bad habit.

178

And I hope that fun English lessons like this one motivate you to not give up until you're a fluent English speaker.

179

Check out these other examples.

180

When I gave up teaching to join the CIA, I thought everything was going to be different.

181

I thought I was going to be this amazing spy.

182

I'm just the same boring person I was before.

183

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

184

Ah!

185

Giving up already?

186

"You better say every prayer you ever heard before, kid !" "I hope your parents got your tombstone for Christmas !" Whoa, dark humor from Harry.

187

A tombstone is a stone marker placed on someone's grave after they die, usually with their name and dates carved into it.

188

Marv is threatening Kevin by saying he's going to need a tombstone.

189

In other words, he's going to be dead.

190

Of course, this is just movie villain talk, and we know that Kevin will outsmart them.

191

Let's check out another instance of connected speech there.

192

Where did he go?

193

Wow, it's pretty easy to miss that question.

194

In pronouns like he, her, and them, we often drop the first sound.

195

did reduce to just a /d / sound and links to /he /, so we hear /d/.

196

D. This links to "where", so it's Where'd he go?

197

Where'd he go?

198

Now it's your turn.

199

That was the sound of a tool chest.

200

falling down the stairs.

201

A tool chest is a large heavy box or container used to store and organize tools like hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and nails.

202

These are usually made of metal and can be quite heavy, especially when full of tools.

203

So when one falls down the stairs onto you, ouch!

204

Actually, we heard this word chest used earlier.

205

The name of the toy store the criminals tried to rob is Duncan's Toy Chest.

206

So similarly to a tool chest, a toy chest is a big box where you store toys.

207

Ah yeah, you've done awesome so far.

208

It's really nice to get to celebrate the holidays and also improve your English.

209

But we're not done yet.

210

This is actually what I would say is the most important part.

211

You're gonna test everything you learned today by watching again without

212

subtitles to see how well your comprehension has advanced by learning all these terms and pronunciation.

213

questions.

214

Let's do this.

215

Hey!

216

Don't you know a kid always wins against two idiots?

217

Harry!

218

He's in the living room!

219

Why do you have to bring him?

220

He went up the ladder!

221

Bring him!

222

Bring him!

223

Bring him!

224

Match the climbing equipment to its picture.

225

I'm going to go to the next one.

226

Why don't you guys try the stairs?

227

Right.

228

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute.

229

Don't you remember what happened last year?

230

No. Watch this.

231

Let's get 'em!

232

Oh!

233

He busted me right in my mouth, Marv!

234

Don't worry, Harry!

235

- I'll get him!

236

Ow!

237

Right in the schnoz!

238

Which one of these is a schnoz?

239

you That's two!

240

Come on, let's get 'em.

241

Oops!

242

- Max!

243

three "We spent nine months in jail thinking we had the worst luck in the universe." "We were wrong, little buddy." "We're busted out of the clink

244

and we're doing fine." Fill in the blank with the correct slang term for jail.

245

After robbing the bank, the thieves spent five years in the clink.

246

We're busted out of the clink and we're doing fine.

247

We're gonna be doing even better because we're not robbing houses anymore.

248

Now we're robbing toy stores.

249

At midnight tonight, we're...

250

Duncan's toy chest.

251

If you hear someone say that they are going to hit the jewelry store, what do they probably mean?

252

At midnight tonight, we're hitting Duncan's toy chest.

253

Five floors of cash.

254

Then after that we grab a couple of phony passports.

255

Boss!

256

Boss, you wanna shut up?

257

What's the difference?

258

He's not gonna talk to anybody.

259

Except maybe a fish.

260

- Okay.

261

Or The Undertaker's...

262

Let's just get him to the subway tunnel.

263

I'll feel a lot better once we get him on ice.

264

Come on, Harry.

265

Mark, are you sure this is safe?

266

Oh, yeah.

267

Yep, I'm working on the...

268

Complete this ADM. I've been working on this project for months, and I finally worked all the kinks out.

269

It should run smoothly now.

270

Yep, I've worked all the kinks out.

271

Solid as a rock.

272

Like a rock, huh, Marv?

273

Hey!

274

- Do you guys give up?

275

Have you had enough pain?

276

- Never!

277

You better say every prayer you ever heard before, Captain!

278

I hope your parents got you a tombstone for Christmas!

279

Where'd he go?

280

I'm up here and I'm really scared.

281

What's that sound?

282

That was the sound of a tool chest.

283

falling down the stairs.

284

Oh.

285

How dare you enter my chamber uninvited?

286

My grandmother told me that if I read the inscription on your grave, you would grant me second sight.

287

The crack in your monochrome armor is...

288

Overbearing arrogance.

289

You positively reek of the stuff.

290

Tyler and Francoise Gelbin.

291

I need to find them.

292

There's no time to waste.

293

A life hangs in the balance.

294

What are you willing to endure to excavate the truth?

這些短語在電影中頻繁使用，能夠幫助你在日常對話中更加自然地表達自己的思想。

逐步跟讀指導

為了提高你的英語口說能力，尤其是以《小鬼當家》為背景的對話，我們可以通過以下步驟來進行影子跟讀訓練：

觀看影片片段並開啟字幕： 在初步接觸影片內容時，開啟字幕可以幫助你理解對話的意思。
單獨練習短語： 找出上面列出的短語，反覆跟讀，特別注意語調和發音。使用英語影子跟讀的技巧，模仿發音和語速。
無字幕重看： 嘗試關閉字幕再次觀看片段，努力理解對話並進行跟讀。
回答問題： 製作一些與片段相關的問題，回答這些問題可以幫助你更好地運用所學的表達。
重複練習： 多次重複以上步驟，會明顯提升你的口語流利度。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has set · Have you had · I've worked
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	are called · is followed · is reduced

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
