Welcome to English @ the Movies where you learn American English heard at the movies.

Maya and the Three is an upcoming Netflix series. Maya lives in a magical world based on an ancient culture. She is about to celebrate her 15th birthday and become a princess. But she feels more like a warrior than a princess as she teams up with three fighters to try to save the world.

Listen for the words “I got this” as she arrives for the ceremony.

Here we go. She looks like a real princess. Maya, are you okay? Can we help you? I got this.

What do you think “I got this” means?
A) I am in control of the situation

Or

B) I made a mistake

Listen again.
The answer is A, I am in control of the situation. “I got this” is an informal way to say: “I can handle the problem without help.”

I am Princess Maya, Teca Eagle warrior!

And that’s English @ the Movies. I’m Dorothy Gundy.
