Tale as old as time True as it can be Barely even friends when somebody bends unexpectedly Just a little change Small to say the least Both a little scared Neither one prepared Beauty and the Beast.

Future continuous

Today we're jumping into this timeless fairy tale and we're going to be learning a ton of advanced English expressions that natives use every every single day.

In fact, in the song, we just saw a couple like Tail, which is a story, especially one that's been passed down through generations and barely, which means only just by the smallest of margins.

Barely even friends means that they're not quite friends yet.

So in the first scene, we get the backstory of how exactly the beast and his magical castle came to be.

Once upon a time, in the hidden heart of France, a handsome young prince lived in a beautiful castle.

Then one night, an unexpected intruder arrived at the castle, seeking shelter from the bitter storm.

As a gift, she offered the prince a single rose.

Repulsed by her haggard appearance, the prince turned the woman away.

But she warned him not to be deceived by appearances, For beauty is found within.

it was too late, for she had seen that there was no love in his heart.

As punishment, she transformed him into a hideous beast and placed a powerful spell on the castle and all who lived there.

The rose she had offered was truly an enchanted rose.

If he could learn to love another and earn her love in return by the time the last petal fell, then the spell would be broken.

If not, he would be doomed to remain a beast for.

How the prince became cursed and transformed into a fearsome beast.

But quickly, let's jump back to the song that we saw at the beginning, which has the same name as the movie Beauty and the Beast.

So this phrase suggests that a person who is once rigid, guarded or emotionally closed off suddenly becomes flexible or vulnerable.

And it's unexpected, meaning it's sudden, not gradual.

Now we'll move on to the background story.

Then, one night, an unexpected intruder arrived at the castle, seeking shelter from the bitter storm.

So this old woman that suddenly appeared at the party is called an intruder.

That's someone who enters a place without permission or invitation.

Next, to seek is to search or look for something.

But what exactly do you think she was looking for?

So to seek shelter means to look for protection from bad weather or danger.

People seek shelter during storms, earthquakes or other emergencies.

You want to improve your speaking somewhere natural?

Now, let's practice some Connectus speech.

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

Let's come back to this line that is famous to start any fairy tale.

Once upon a time in the hidden heart of France.

She didn't say a robotic once upon a time like you might have learned at school.

She connected everything smoothly and fluently.

Let's break down the pattern that repeats itself twice here.

The U sound in upon is actually the most common sound in English.

But the schwa, which is pronounced like this reduced sound links to the consonant sound from once a.

The same thing happens with the article A.

So it's A, not A, and connects to the previous consonant.

So altogether we get a fluid Once upon a time.

Your speaking will only get better by speaking.

Someone with a haggard appearance looks exhausted or worn out, like they've been through something difficult.

This might be used to capture a combination of the woman's age and clothes that are old and full of holes.

Severe stress makes women age prematurely because stress causes the DNA in our cells to shrink until they can no longer replicate.

Now, the prince found the old woman disgusting.

This is a phrasal verb meaning to refuse someone entry or reject them.

Hey, let me quickly show you those aft flashcards that I mentioned earlier firsthand.

So let's check out a recent lesson that we made with Snow White.

Okay, so if you came to the app, you probably would want to watch the video lesson first, which would be the same lesson that you're getting here, but

But just so that we can just focus on the flashcards.
