Okay, there, bud. We're going to take
this nice and slow. Here we go. Go. Here
we go. Position three. No, four.
All right, let's go time. Let's go time.
Come on, buddy. Come on, buddy.
[Music]
Yes, it worked.

H yeah. Today we're learning English
with a movie I absolutely love, How to
Train Your Dragon. Now, it's about a
young Viking named Hiccup. He comes from
the Viking village of Burke. Now, while
other Vikings, like his father, Stoic,
are tough warriors, he's more like a
nerdy inventor. However, Hiccup desires
to gain a reputation of being tough,
too, by killing a dragon. By the way,
did you know that this story is so
popular that they've made a 2025
liveaction remake of How to Train Your
Dragon? Now, before we get started with

in the first scene we'll watch, Hiccup
is trying to convince his mentor,
Gobber, to let him go out and fight
dragons. However, Gobber is apprehensive
because he doesn't want Hiccup to get
hurt. Let's see what happens.
>> Oh, come on. Let me out, please. I need
to make my mark.
>> Oh, you made plenty of marks. All in the
wrong places.
>> Please. 2 minutes. I'll kill a dragon.
and my life will get infinitely better.
I might even get a date.
>> You can't lift a hammer. You can't swing
an axe. You can't even throw one of
these.
>> Okay, fine. But this will throw it for
me.
>> See, now this right here is what I'm
talking about.
>> But the mild calibration is pickup.
>> If you ever want to get out there to
fight dragons, you need to stop all
>> this.
>> But you just pointed to all of me. Yes,
that's it. Stop being all of you.
>> Oh.
>> Oh, yes.
>> You You sir are playing a dangerous
game. Keeping this much raw Vikingess
contained. There will be consequences.
>> I'll take my chances.
>> All right. So, now we're going to
analyze all of the advanced vocabulary
that we just saw highlighted in blue.

let me teach you a cool English
expression that we saw at the start of
the video.
>> Okay, there bud. We're going to take
this nice and slow. Here we go. Go. Here
we go. Position three. No, four.
All right, it's go time. It's go time.
This is used when something important is
about to begin. Usually something
exciting or challenging like a big test,
a sports match, or riding a dragon.
Check out this other example.
>> Godspeed.
There's the island.
>> It's go time.
>> All right. Now, let's jump into Hiccup
and Gobbber's argument.
>> Oh, come on. Let me out, please. I need
to make my mark.
>> Oh, you made plenty of marks. All in the
wrong place.
>> Hiccup says he wants to make his mark.
What do you think he means? He wants to
draw something with a pen or marker. Do
something important or memorable. Fight
someone stronger than him.
[Music]
That's right. To make your mark means to
do something meaningful that gets you
noticed and remembered. In their Viking
culture, one of the highest honors is
killing a dragon. So Hiccup thinks that
doing this will help him to earn the
respect of his father and tribe. You
might use this at work, for example. She
really made her mark at the company by
delivering that big project.
>> You mess up your chores and everyone
else's.
