Shadowing-Übung: A Day in Boston: The Full Trip | Slow English Vlog for Beginner English Learners - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Hi everyone!

In today's episode, we are exploring Boston, Massachusetts.

Take a look!

We are crossing the bridge.

The hotel that we are staying at is over here.

I've never been to this city before, so I am excited to explore with you.

We have a short itinerary for today.

Right now we are heading to the Freedom Trail.

What is the Freedom Trail?

It's just a historical walk where we could see a lot of history that took place in Boston.

That was some great new vocabulary.

There is a lot of U.S history in this city and I'm excited to learn all about it.

It is extremely windy today.

Another way to describe windy is breezy or chilly.

And hopefully the wind will die down by tomorrow because tomorrow is the Boston Marathon.

And we are here in Boston to support my friend

and I understand now how detrimental it would be if the wind was strong when running the marathon.

Do you know the word detrimental?

It's kind of a serious word so maybe I shouldn't have used

that word but all that means is it's not a good thing.

It is April and there's a saying April showers bring May flowers.

What that means is usually

in April it's supposed to rain a lot but then in May a lot of flowers will bloom.

But luckily while we are on vacation it will not be raining too much.

What I really love about the east coast is the various seasons.

We have winter, spring, summer, and fall.

And where I currently live in Los Angeles,

it's basically just a light summer all the time.

So I miss having four seasons.

When I travel, I tend to walk a lot.

Well, a lot for me,

which is maybe around 12,000 steps to 18,000 steps per day.

Sometimes I will rent a bike if we have to get far

and if I don't want to spend money on a cab.

This morning we decided to not go to breakfast because we were already running late.

Do you know the term running late?

It means that we're just late.

I'm not sure where the term running late came from, but it just simply means that we're late.

Instead of eating breakfast, we ordered some hot tea at a local tea shop

and also purchased a croissant from a local bakery.

I also had brought some snacks from home, so that was enough for me.

We will probably have a nice lunch.

There's my husband straight ahead.

Say hi!

I don't know where he's running to.

I think he's testing out his new bouncy Adidas.

The first thing that I notice about Boston is it's more diverse than I had anticipated.

Diverse means many groups of people.

It's also a very clean city,

and you can tell by the architecture how historical it is.

My husband loves baseball, and he said that he can't come to Boston without seeing Fenway.

I guess it's a famous baseball stadium.

Let me know in the comments if you love baseball.

Growing up, I was not a huge fan of baseball

because every time I went to a baseball game where I'm from in Baltimore,

Maryland, they always lost.

However, I did play softball with my old church league.

I was very young and I did a pretty good job at catching the ball.

Do you hear the church bells?

Today is Easter.

We are getting closer to the church bells.

So the church must be right around the corner.

I hope you can hear me.

I'm very close to the church with the ringing bells.

We are going to be wrapping around a nice park.

I wonder how old this water fountain is.

It has no water in it.

People are enjoying the weather today, even though it's windy.

But I think the locals are probably used to that.

There are no leaves on the trees.

Do you remember from one of my previous videos what you call these kind of trees?

They are called deciduous trees.

That's a difficult, or I should say advanced word, deciduous.

If we would have come here in a month from now,

there would probably be some beautiful leaves on these trees.

Boston is also known to have top Ivy League universities such as Harvard.

I wish in Los Angeles we had parks like this.

This park reminds me of New York.

Los Angeles, or LA, is very spread out

and there is this one park where there's many many trees planted there

but it takes about 30 to 40 minutes to drive there

and also you have to pay to get in it is not a public park with

that said la has a lot of great scenery and I am grateful for that.

I just wish that it was surrounded by more trees.

Look at that sculpture over there.

That's cool.

Do you know the sport that they are playing?

this is pickleball and at first glance it looks like a mini version of tennis

and a large version of ping pong so if tennis and ping pong got married that's pickleball and these people

over here are playing tennis.

They're really good.

We have some people over here playing baseball.

Or actually, they're playing catch, which is where you throw the ball back and forth.

The wind just died down.

It's really pleasant when the wind is not blowing me over.

We are now in Boston Common.

It is the oldest public park in the United States.

Isn't it beautiful?

I love the smell of nature.

100

These are beautiful pine trees.

101

Many people are out enjoying a book or having a picnic.

102

I accidentally did not have the gimbal centered so I have no idea if the video for the past

103

5 minutes looks good.

104

If you don't know what a gimbal is,

105

it's the controller for the camera that keeps the video centered.

106

There are a lot of dogs walking around, also enjoying this weather.

107

Oh, take a look at this.

108

This is a goose, right?

109

What do you call multiple gooses?

110

I'll give you a clue.

111

It's not gooses.

112

It's geese.

113

They must be used to being around a lot of people because they are not afraid when we come close.

114

That's a cool canoe-like transportation that is propelled by someone cycling on the back.

115

So it's like a hydro bike canoe.

116

This tree I bet is very old and I wish I could climb it.

117

We have some more geese in the water.

118

Excuse me, I just sneezed.

119

By the way, the most polite thing to do when someone sneezes is is you tell them, bless you.

120

Or if you say it quickly, it's bless you.

121

And if you sneeze, the most polite thing to say is, excuse me.

122

Excuse me.

123

I love these trees that have the willow type leaves.

124

That girl is so cute in her Easter outfit.

125

Here is another view of the park.

126

I wish you could smell the nature out here with me.

127

It smells really clean.

128

I do see some flowers shedding off of the trees.

129

And perhaps that's why I sneezed, because my body is no longer used to this type of pollen.

130

Where are we going now?

131

Newberry Street.

132

Shopping.

133

We're going shopping to Newberry Street.

134

What kind of shops are on Newberry Street?

135

They said luxury shopping.

136

I'm not sure.

137

We're about to be surprised.

138

We are crossing the crosswalk.

139

And look, we have Hermes.

140

Fancy store.

141

Do you know this brand?

142

Their purses probably start at $7,000.

143

dollars or maybe even start at ten thousand dollars which is crazy i love this brand

144

it's bottega veneta it's an italian brand so we must be on that shopping street that we were trying to get to.

145

I will be doing only window shopping on the street.

146

Do you know the term window shopping?

147

It means that you will not physically go into the store.

148

You will shop with just your eyes from the outside.

149

Oh, here we are.

150

Bandit.

151

My husband must already be in there and it's really busy.

152

Wow, excuse me.

153

It's poppin' in here, which is a casual term for it's really busy.

154

Poppin' is short for hopping.

155

They have running gear specifically for the Boston Marathon.

156

So that's pretty cool.

157

They have shorts, tank tops,

158

sports bras, hats, socks, shoes.

159

This brand of shoe is ASIC And that's what I'm wearing ASICs ASICs are my favorite They're very comfortable Did you notice how

160

when I said comfortable I did not pronounce it as comfortable It's comfortable I like this hat

161

that says spectator Do you know what that is?

162

The spectator is like an audience member watching.

163

And I think this was made specifically for the Boston Marathon supporters.

164

I bought a hat.

165

It is...

166

I knew it, this is exactly why.

167

I did not bring my hat from the hotel because I thought the wind would blow it over.

168

and look what just happened.

169

I need to make sure that it's really snug on my head.

170

Do you know what snug means?

171

It means tight.

172

We decided to eat at this maybe vegan spot.

173

Let's see if we can get a menu.

174

Can you grab a menu?

175

We received our hot beverage which has fresh lemon, fresh ginger, and honey.

176

This is a hot drink.

177

And we also got the watermelon kohler, which has watermelon, cardamom, and mint.

178

We just received our food.

179

I got the bibimbap bowl, which is a Korean style dish.

180

And my husband got a buddha bowl, which has a ton of vegetables and grains.

181

I'm very full.

182

It was a very filling meal.

183

Have you heard of that term filling?

184

We are now on our way to the train station to head to the baseball stadium.

185

The train station was very easy to find.

186

Here we are.

187

We're heading down.

188

I love taking trains and using public transportation.

189

I get nauseous when I ride cabs and Ubers because it requires me to sit in the backseat

190

and the motion of the car makes me feel very sick and nauseous.

191

I wonder how old this train station is.

192

We are taking the green line and we have to find where to buy the ticket.

193

Oh, here it is.

194

We need a round trip ticket,

195

which means we need to get to the destination and to come back.

196

So for this kiosk, it requires for you to purchase one ticket at a time

197

So we will need to repeat this process He is tapping to pay

198

The ticket is printing We do not want a receipt And it asked if we'd like to purchase another ticket

199

So he is going through the process one more time.

200

And here is what the ticket looks like.

201

Here we go.

202

Here we are, Arlington, and we need to take it down the T to the D.

203

We asked one of the workers here which way to go.

204

And let's see if we can catch this train.

205

No, we missed it.

206

That's okay, we will catch the next one.

207

That was a quick train ride.

208

Only about eight minutes.

209

And we've hopped off the train.

210

Is this the right way to the exit? Where are you going?

211

Wrong way.

212

All these people were following us.

213

I guess we were walking with confidence because they thought this was the exit as well.

214

The wind has died down.

215

The sun is out.

216

I am still extremely full from the meal that we just had.

217

We are safely crossing the train track.

218

The wind has picked up.

219

I'm afraid my hat is going to blow off.

220

We are walking the path towards Fenway Park.

221

I would like to know why we are going to Fenway Park.

222

Why are you so interested in going to Fenway?

223

Fenway is considered one of the oldest stadiums in the USA.

224

There's a lot of history, a lot of baseball history,

225

and it's also known to have what's called the Green Monster,

226

which is triple the size of a normal home run wall.

227

This wall is three times the size, so we'll get some video on that.

228

My hat just fell off.

229

Boston has a lot of contemporary, newer-looking buildings.

230

We are scanning our ticket.

231

Thank you.

232

Going to a baseball game here.

233

is a different experience compared to going to a game in LA because most of the

234

people going to the sports games in LA I don't think are true fans because many

235

Many of the residents were not born and raised in LA.

236

So I think that the crowd here will be much more enthusiastic.

237

We're about to find out.

238

Which team are you rooting for?

239

Boston.

240

Boston.

241

We said that with the Boston accent.

242

The locals, if they have a Boston accent, would say BAS-TIN.

243

And when they say park the car, they would say pack the car.

244

They don't really pronounce the R's.

245

In Boston, you pack the car.

246

The crowd is very enthusiastic here.

247

Can you hear them?

248

If you look straight ahead, you'll see a tall green wall.

249

That was the wall that my husband was talking about earlier.

250

And over here, you'll see the shorter wall,

251

which is the normal height for a baseball field wall.

252

The yellow jersey is Boston.

253

And the black jersey is Chicago.

254

go.

255

Red Sox versus White Sox.

256

We are in the cab on the way to the convention center.

257

At the convention center, we will see many brands that are sponsoring the Boston Marathon.

258

They are there to promote their brand or company.

259

We just got dropped off by the cab.

260

This architecture reminds me of Chicago.

261

Did you watch any of my Chicago vlogs?

262

We got dropped off at the wrong convention center.

263

Whose fault was that?

264

Your fault or the cab driver's fault?

265

We are now at the correct convention center.

266

I think I just made the metal detector go off.

267

The apparel section of the convention was underwhelming.

268

I think we had higher expectations of other brands to be there.

269

It was only Adidas.

270

So I think Adidas is the main sponsor for this Boston Marathon.

271

And now we are on the other side of the expo,

272

which has, let's see, I'm going this way.

273

Harvard Healthcare.

274

We just tasted a sample of an energy drink over here.

275

There's also headphones that you can test out.

276

There's a lot of random vendors here.

277

Nothing really worth filming to be honest.

278

On this wall is all the names of the runners of the marathon.

279

Oh!

280

He found them!

281

Go Craig!

282

Go Craig!

283

Can't wait to cheer you on tomorrow.

284

All the names are in alphabetical order, so it is easy to find.

285

We are now going to go to Newberry Street to go shopping.

286

We are walking along Newberry Street

287

and the shops are inside of these what

288

looks like residential buildings also known as brownstones I believe.

289

We are heading towards another shoe store called New Balance.

290

Have you heard of this brand before?

291

It's a very popular brand.

292

We decided to check out Salty Girl,

293

which is a seafood restaurant highly recommended by my friends.

294

That was a delicious meal that we just had.

295

And now we are going to North End,

296

which is an area rich in history.

297

When I say rich in this context, I mean it has a lot of,

298

or it is abundant in history.

299

So I can't wait to show you, and I can't wait to experience it for the first time.

300

I heard that it is a very pretty neighborhood.

301

The wind has really died down now and there's more people out and about, which means people are outside.

302

Take a look.

303

Isn't it beautiful here?

304

We are in North End.

305

the kind of like little Italy of Boston.

306

There are many people standing outside of these restaurants which tells me that the food must be good there.

307

Oh I bet this place is good.

308

Best Italian sub in in Boston.

309

Sub is another word for sandwich,

310

but it comes on a specific type of bread.

311

And I believe sub is short for submarine.

312

We need to move out of the way because there is a car coming.

313

and now we are walking up what may be a residential neighborhood.

314

Look at this cute dog.

315

For my Brazil friends, there is a Brazil flag over there.

316

Here is the Peace Garden.

317

I guess it leads up to a church.

318

I am standing in front of Paul Revere's house.

319

He is the man that rode at midnight to warn that the British were coming.

320

And this began the start of the fight of America's independence.

321

Hello everyone!

322

Today I woke up at 6am,

323

around 6.10am and I am currently jet lagged.

324

Jet lagged is the term where when you travel and your brain is not yet used to the time zone.

325

I came from Los Angeles to Boston.

326

Boston is three hours ahead in time.

327

So if it's 6am here, it's 3am in LA.

328

And I haven't had caffeine today.

329

I did not drink my green tea because our schedule this morning was pretty busy.

330

After I woke up, I took a shower,

331

I brushed my teeth, I washed my face, and I put on my skincare products.

332

Then my husband

333

and I went down to the hotel lobby to catch a cab to meet my friend at the hotel

334

that she and her family are staying at.

335

After I met my friend and her family,

336

we drove together about 30 to 45 minutes outside of the city.

337

When I say the city, I mean Boston.

338

And that was the start of the Boston Marathon.

339

The weather was very cold.

340

Not the coldest that I've ever experienced.

341

As you can see outside, it's not snowing.

342

The weather is breezy.

343

It is chilly.

344

It is cold.

345

Are you familiar with the words breezy and chilly?

346

Think of breezy as breeze, which is another word for wind.

347

And chilly is chill, which is another word for cold.

348

So we have several ways to describe cold weather.

349

Luckily, the sun was partly shining through the clouds,

350

so it was keeping me somewhat warm, but not warm enough.

351

Our whole crew gathered around to find the best spot so that we can find our friend who's running the marathon.

352

He is considered an excellent runner,

353

and he started in the first wave,

354

which means that he came out with the first group of people in the marathon.

355

After waiting about 30 minutes,

356

he finally ran in front of us and we yelled and screamed his name and we cheered him on.

357

It's always nerve-wracking when we are anticipating him to run by us

358

because we only have one opportunity to see him and really cheer him on.

359

Luckily, we were able to spot his outfit.

360

We knew that he had a white hat, a red tank top, and red shoes.

361

After we saw him at the first checkpoint,

362

we got back into the car and we drove back to the city.

363

The finish line is in the city, so that is where we planned to see him next.

364

Our friend placed 995th out of 30,000 racers.

365

Do you know what I mean when I say placed?

366

In this context, it means that he was one of the top 1,000 runners out of 30,000.

367

So when you place, that is where your ranking is.

368

Unfortunately, I was not able to see him cross the finish line because I am too short.

369

I could not make my way to the front and there were so many people.

370

So instead, I will just have to watch a video

371

that my friend took of her husband running across the finish line because she did wiggle her way up to the front.

372

do you know the word wiggle wiggle looks like this

373

but she didn't actually wiggle her way to the front to

374

see him wiggle your way to the front is you you weave in and out to get to where you want to.

375

When you say wiggle, you are exaggerating.

376

It's just a fun word, you know?

377

And then we had to find him after he crossed the finish line.

378

Many or maybe even all of the neighboring streets were blocked off due to security reasons.

379

So we had to walk around many blocks to meet him at a safe area.

380

We met him at a park.

381

After we saw our friend, my husband and I went to grab lunch.

382

When I say grab lunch, I don't actually mean grabbing lunch.

383

This is what grabbing looks like.

384

It's just another way of saying that we got lunch.

385

and we went to the same spot

386

that we went to yesterday just to keep it simple

387

and it was also a healthy meal we walked many miles and my feet hurt i currently have hat head

388

which means that you wear a hat all day and it smushes your hair down.

389

Do you remember the word smush?

390

Last time I talked about this word, I used the analogy of a banana.

391

So imagine you have a banana in your hand and you squeeze it.

392

This is smushing.

393

you smush so the hat smushed my head and my hair

394

so now I have hat head I am now back at the hotel

395

and I am going to get ready to meet my friends for dinner we are going to eat at a Mediterranean restaurant.

396

So I'm very excited.

397

Tomorrow, my husband will be leaving for the airport while I take a road trip down the east coast to Baltimore,

398

Maryland, where my parents live.

399

I hope you enjoyed today's lesson.

400

We talked about some past tense as well as future tense verbs, so I hope that was helpful.

401

Please like, subscribe, and share this video, and I will see you next time.

402

Bye!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
