Learn English with Disney's WISH

Imagine a place where wishes come true. Where your heart's desire can become a reality. What if I told you that place is within reach? All you have to do is give your wish to me. We all have wishes. Small or big, serious or silly, they are what makes us human. They push us forward to grow and to become the best versions of ourselves.

What would you wish for if magically your wish could come true? Today, in this lesson, we're diving into the magical world of Disney's wish to explore this very idea of our dreams and wishes. In the scene, you will meet Asha, a hopeful young girl, and King Magnifico, the ruler of the Kingdom of Roses, where all the wishes are collected.

In case you are new here, our method is really simple. You will first watch the clip with the subtitles. Then you will learn all of the most important vocabulary, grammar and pronunciation from the scene. And finally, you will test your comprehension by watching the clip one more time, without subtitles this time and answering some quiz questions.

While you're young. You don't know anything, really. Whereas it is my responsibility to only grant the wishes I am sure are good for Rosas. So most of these wishes will never be granted. Yet I still protect them like all the others. Can't you just give them back instead? Excuse me? The wishes you're not going to grant. You could just give them back then? I don't know. The people can try to pursue them themselves, you know, if they're dangerous, then they can be stopped.

People come here because they know they can't make their own dreams come true. The journey's too hard. It is too unfair. They give their wishes to me willingly. And I make it so they forget their worries. You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves. And they don't know what they're missing. But you do. And now I do. It's not fair. My Saba is good. The people of Rosas are good. They deserve more than I. Decide what everyone deserves.

The king's responsibility is to grant wishes. To grant is to do something that another person has asked for or fulfilled their requests. Here's a funny example from the Ice Age movie See how many grants the wish of his friend? And just as a side note, have you ever heard the phrase to take something for granted? When you take something for granted, you don't appreciate it because you assume it will always be available or stay the same.

Whereas it is my responsibility to only grant the wishes I am sure are good for roses. Now let's practice the American flap t or D sound in this sentence. It is my responsibility. T at the end of it and T in the word responsibility. They both stand between the vowel sounds. That's why we hear D sound.

Most learners struggle to understand and use the flap t like this in real life conversations because they just don't practice that enough.

Yet I still protect them like all the others. Can't you just give them back instead? Excuse me? The wishes you're not going to grant. You could just give them back then. I don't know the people can try to pursue them themselves. First, let's look at some vocabulary from this part of the scene. When you think you didn't hear clearly, or when you are surprised to hear what another person said, you can say, excuse me. This way, you ask another person to repeat or explain what they just said.

When you pursue your dream, you follow it. You try to achieve it themselves. Here means on their own. Asha tries to say that people may try to achieve their dreams on their own instead of losing their faith and not living a purposeful life, wasting it on waiting for their wishes to be granted at last. Please pay attention that the correct spelling is themselves, not themself as myself, himself, or yourself. It's in the plural, so the letter F changes to V themselves.

Okay, now let's identify some connected speech patterns and do some shadowing exercises. Yet I still protect them. Like all the others already familiar flap t appears in the word yet I still. Yet I still. Listen and repeat. Yet I still protect.

Can't you just give them back? Instead, in the word can't, the T is a stop T. We prepare the lips to pronounce the sound, but then stop the flow of air. Note that the stress falls on can. So we have a broad sound. Can you. Can you listen and repeat? Can't you just give them back?

Can't you just give them back the wishes you're not going to grant? You could just give them back. Could. Jest reduces to could just. You could just. We have the sounds D from could and from just blending together. And the T at the end of just is dropped. Listen and repeat. You could just. You could just.

You've completely missed the point. You missed the point. When you fail to understand the main idea of something, like in this example, you're missing the point. Tiger. They're magnets. They give their wishes to me willingly, and I make it so they forget their worries.

When you do something willingly, you do it without being forced. You choose to do it voluntarily. Here, people give their wishes to King Magnifico, hoping that he would help fulfill them. When you use the word worry as a verb, like in don't worry, you mean to say don't overthink or don't be nervous. Here worries is A plural noun. They forget their worries. Worries are things that cause anxiety or concern. So it can be both a verb and a noun. And something that causes worries may be defined as worrisome.

They don't know what they're missing. Esha says here that when all the worries about fulfillment of their dreams are taken away from the people of Roses, they don't realize what they are missing. When you're missing something, you lack it. You notice the absence of something. In this context, people give away their wishes, and they don't realize what they are losing.

The people of Rosas are good. They deserve more than I Decide what everyone deserves. Asha believes that the people of Rosas deserve to keep their wishes and the happiness that comes with them. To deserve something is to be worthy of it. Especially something good.

I don't deserve this. Badge hops. We know nothing of these pages. You command great magic. But with this book, I fear it commanding you. Please put that book down. If you want answers about the light, I suggest you look to your people. They love you. I know they would do anything for you.

In this scene, we see King Magnifico with his queen. Queen Amaia seems to be very concerned. She fears that the book manipulates the king's actions. We know nothing of these pages. You command great magic. By saying you command great magic, the queen means that King Magnifico has the power to control and use magical forces. But she fears that the book has taken control over the king. He's too obsessed with its magic power.

If you want answers about the light, I suggest you look to your people. To suggest is to propose an idea or plan. Remember, we don't use suggest to infinitive. It can be followed either by gerund or bare infinitive, like in our example. I suggest you look to your people. Don't say, I suggest you to look to your people. That's incorrect.

Note that the Queen doesn't use the phrasal verb to look at. Here she says to look to when you look to someone, you hope that someone will provide you with something. You may even depend on them. Black students look to their professors for guidance.

Here, Queen Amaya suggests that Magnifico should seek guidance and support from his people instead of relying on the potentially dangerous book. Our people look to her for wisdom and strength. Someday they will look to you as well. I would be honored by that. Don't confuse it with the phrasal verb to look up to, which means to admire someone, to see someone as a role model.

You are their handsomest. Most beloved King. Handsomest is the superlative form of the adjective handsome, which means attractive in appearance and is typically used to describe men. Someone beloved is a deeply loved and cherished person. Note the pronunciation. It's tricky. beloved.

You pronounce the word loved as in loved by many, without the e sound loved. But you pronounce the word beloved with that e sound at the end. Most beloved king. Oh my love. Excellent advice. Rosas is so lucky to have you, as am I.

Advice is a practical recommendation. Just like the word knowledge. It can't be counted. So you can't say one advice or many good advices. Instead, you would say a word of advice or some advice. Let your grandpa give you some solid advice.

Remember that the verb is spelt with the letter S and is pronounced with the z sound to advise. So you can give a piece of advice, or you can advise something. The queen in the scene advised the king to look to his people.

As am I is an idiomatic phrase. By saying it, the king says that he's also lucky to have her as his wife. It's totally fine to say as I am, but by changing the order, which is called inversion, you sound more idiomatic or poetic, if you may. Another possible variant is and so am I. I enjoyed this lesson so much, and I hope you did too.

Now it's time for a test. While you're young. You don't know anything, really. Whereas it is my responsibility to only grant the wishes I am sure are good for Rosas. So most of these wishes will never be granted. Yet I still protect them like all the others. What do you hear in this sentence? Yet I still protect them like all the others.

The king says excuse me. To ask Asha to repeat her question again. To show he's surprised to hear that. To say he's sorry he has to reject most wishes. The wishes you're not going to grant. You could just give them back then. I don't know. The people can try to pursue them themselves. What word is the closest in meaning to the word pursuer?

What does it mean to miss the point in this context? People come here because they know they can't make their own dreams come true. The journey is too hard. It is too unfair. They give their wishes to me willingly, and I make it so they forget their worries. You make it so they forget the most beautiful part of themselves.

We know nothing of these pages. You command great magic. But with this book, I fear it commanding you. Please put that book down. If you want answers about the light, I suggest you look to your people.

They love you. I know they would do anything for you. Of course they would. You are their handsomest, most beloved king. You're right. I am a handsome king.

Oh, my love. Excellent advice. Rosas is so lucky to have you. As am I. I hope all your wishes come true and we are ready to help you with one of them to become a confident, natural English speaker.
