Welcome back to a new video guys.
2
Today we're in Beijing, China and we are buying souvenirs here in this mall behind me.
3
In this video you will learn English the natural way through comprehensible input.
4
There will also be two shadowing segments in the video.
5
One in the beginning and one at the very end to practice your pronunciation and accent.
6
I think that's on the fourth floor.
7
Suits and formal clothing.
8
I had to haggle a lot for the price.
9
Anyway, we're gonna head over to buy some what you call a flagship store.
10
Oh, is it?
11
They first levitate in the air with their soles.
12
Oh, the tray is different too.
13
Unless the specialty ones?
14
Terrible.
15
I'll never get those again.
16
We're going to night markets because it's almost nighttime.
17
We bought a few things from the 7-Eleven.
18
Okay, so first things first.
19
As soon as we walk in, we see the floor information guide.
20
I would like to buy some silk.
21
I think that's on the fourth floor.
22
Yeah, but it looks like they do sell Silk here on the bottom too.
23
It says on this floor.
24
It's international flagship stores for Beijing gifts.
25
Yeah, these stores look very fancy, but it appears to only be female fashion.
26
So let's go up to the fourth floor.
27
So we're now gonna go up the escalator here.
28
You can see the light reflecting on the escalator
29
and the ceiling here is almost like a mirror We'll go up one more floor.
30
You can see these stores just sell women's clothing Oh, here we go men's fashion This floor is floor number three
31
which is men's and children's fashion It looks like it's mostly just like suits
32
and formal clothing Which we don't really need
33
so we're gonna keep on going to this floor the fourth
34
floor it looks like a nice box too yeah chopsticks those
35
are like tea bricks a bunch of tea cups tea sets
36
it's actually not a bad place to buy souvenirs 3000
37
that is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95 of spoken english
38
that is why i made the 3000 most common english words textbook with clear definitions real example sentences
39
and simple organization by topic and c e FR level so you know exactly what to study next.
40
And now if you want to learn even more, I've added the next 2,000 most common English words
41
so you can get the full 5,000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
42
This will help you to know exactly what to study and really advance your English vocabulary and level.
43
You can get it at the link in my description or at VolkaEnglish.com.
44
While traveling through China, we decided to spend some time shopping for souvenirs.
45
Buying something small from a new place is not only about owning an object,
46
it is a way to preserve a memory and bring part of the journey home with you.
47
People often choose souvenirs that represent the local culture such as tea, traditional artwork,
48
clothing ornaments or handmade products some gifts are practical
49
while others are purely decorative what matters most is the personal
50
connection behind them a simple item can remind you of a particular street conversation meal
51
or feeling years later souvenir shopping is also a thoughtful way
52
to include the people who could not travel with you you may see something and immediately think
53
my friend would love this
54
or this would be perfect for my family choosing the right gift can be difficult
55
but that effort makes it feel more meaningful we looked around carefully compared different options
56
and tried to avoid buying things impulsively of course it is easy to get carried away
57
when everything feels unfamiliar and special however the best souvenir is usually not the most expensive one.
58
It is the one that tells a story.
59
We just left the silk area and there were
60
so many people like they were like harassing us pretty much and like trying to get you to go into their shop.
61
They're like come come come.
62
Well this is like a really touristy market so.
63
Yeah I guess so.
64
I just saw tourist shopping here.
65
Yeah and like I bought some stuff.
66
I bought three silk bandanas and two silk pillowcases.
67
They priced the ass for initially.
68
I ended up paying like less than a third.
69
Yeah they usually charge like super high and you have to haggle
70
but yeah i got some silk i had a haggle a lot for the price
71
because it was very high and also chat gpt said
72
that you need a haggle
73
and chat gpt also gave me the normal price for silk bandanas
74
and for silk pillowcases so i had to do
75
that to get a better price but I ended up buying everything I wanted
76
which was bandanas and pillowcases
77
because I know China is known for their silk since they
78
produce a lot of silk here now I'm gonna get on this bike
79
and head home oh there's Leon we have to go do more shopping
80
because today is our second last day in Beijing
81
so I bought some souvenirs here but we have to go buy more souvenirs which are
82
going to be snacks and then clothes.
83
Are you satisfied with your purchases?
84
I am satisfied with these purchases.
85
Those three bandanas are pretty nice.
86
Maybe I should show you.
87
So you can see here I got two pillowcases one silver one one white one and these are the bandanas.
88
The first one is this really beautiful blue one with this nice like design here.
89
Kind of looks like like a porcelain chinese porcelain yeah that's
90
why i got it it's kind of giving chinese porcelain also the blue is very nice
91
so i got that one yeah that's uh indigo blue yeah
92
and then i got this beautiful like purple one
93
because i don't know this one the color i think is just
94
so nice on this one and i just thought it was super super like beautiful looking
95
so i got it so that's the second bandana
96
and then the third bandana which is going to be the one i wear the most was just a regular
97
black bandana i have a black one too
98
and i wear it the most
99
so i just got another one since i think i would like this one you can feel the most
100
but yeah those are the three i got
101
and then here you can see my two silk pillowcases anyway we're gonna head over to buy some t-shirts now
102

103

104

108
but it's sold out so i don't think i'll be able to buy
109
that one and i would like to buy a fan anyway let's get going
110
okay guys so i've actually been doing a lot of shopping on this trip As you can see, I bought a bunch of silk bandanas at Silk Street,
111
which is one of the biggest and most popular malls in Beijing.
112
And one thing I always like to know is how much I'm going to pay before I actually pay.
113
And back home in Canada, the price you see at the grocery store, for example, isn't the price you actually pay at checkout because they still need to add the tax when you pay,
114
which I always found very frustrating about Canada.
115
Today's sponsor, stable.com is a financial platform for digital dollars.
116

118

119

121

122

123
I'm putting stable.com's actual quote screen here so you can see how the breakdown looks before anything is confirmed.
124

125
This is sponsored, not financial advice.
126
Availability varies by country and you must be 18 years or older.
127
Thank you Stable for sponsoring this video.
128
Now we're here to shop some more.
129
We are in one of the most popular shopping areas in Beijing called Sanlitun.
130
Anyway, let's go into Uniqlo here, and then we'll go into Adidas over there, because I did say I would go into Adidas, so that's over there, but let's start with Uniqlo and buy some shirts.
131
This is a really big Uniqlo.
132
There are three floors, or you can say there are three levels.
133
And this is what you call a flagship store.
134
Oh, is it?
135
Yeah, so usually each city has a flagship brand store.
136
So as usual, men's clothing is always on the very top, on the third floor.
137
All right, guys, so I've tried on all seven of these t-shirts.
138
I think I'll go with this one because I like the back.
139
The logo is kind of nice.
140
Also, I'll go with this one because Hunter x Hunter is my favorite anime.
141
And lastly, this one because I like this back logo.
142
It's cool.
143
and the shirt fits really well.
144
So I'll get three.
145
So what did you buy?
146
I got myself some linen pants.
147
Another pair?
148
Well, this one's like a baggy pair.
149
Finally.
150
And it doesn't have like a belt loop.
151
It's just like a...
152
Look at those skinny pants he always wears.
153
I'm going to throw these away because I've had these for so long that they're not even like black anymore.
154
Yeah, you can see they're pretty faded, especially like on the corners and stuff.
155
Yeah.
156
Yeah, I just got a t-shirt.
157
I just got the one t-shirt.
158
I think I'm going to put it on in the washroom.
159
Yeah, but I got a white t-shirt because I don't think I have any white t-shirts.
160
So I just got one and they gave me a small bag.
161
So we're going to the washroom now.
162
And then after that, we'll go to Adidas.
163
Let's head down here.
164
Oh, down here?
165
Look at this tiny little escalator.
166
This is a one person at a time escalator.
167
One man show.
168
Yeah.
169
So we're in Adidas now and the robot is showing us how a normal person runs.
170
They first levitate in the air with their soles pointing towards the sky before they hyper boost edge you.
171
Have you ever been hyper boost edged?
172
Okay, now let's go into McDonald's.
173
So this is the one I wanted to try, but I just want the burger.
174
What looks unique here, Royalty Beef Burger.
175
We'll also get this one, crispy chicken and bamboo shoot wrap.
176
Get that to the card.
177
Okay guys, here we have the food.
178
Bacon, lettuce, tomato, beef burger.
179
This is not a Big Mac wrap fries.
180
Oh the tray is different too unless this is the tray in every country.
181
Oh dude the top of that bun looks super nice.
182
Yeah it's like a brioche bun.
183
Yeah that's Cajun sauce with two pickles
184
and this is like there's like two two beef buns and I forget what this one was.
185
It was something stuffed.
186
Yeah burger with cheese and deep-fried and coated.
187
Okay.
188
I love pickles, but only if they're sour.
189
Mmm.
190
Dude, that makes it so much chewier, that third patty.
191
Because it's fried, it's so chewy for some reason, it's like rubber.
192
Holy s*.
193
I wish you could taste pickles more, and I wish there were at least three pickles.
194
What does it taste like though?
195
Nothing.
196
Like beef or chicken?
197
Normal cheeseburger, no like crazy taste.
198
That's why I say I wish the pickles had a flavor.
199
This is a BLT burger.
200
Look at it.
201
That bacon is not crispy.
202
It's like boiled bacon.
203
Yeah, the patties look peppery.
204
I don't think I'm gonna be a fan of this one.
205
Do you like BLT sandwiches in general?
206
Mmm, they're not my favorite, but I'd eat them.
207
But this one is just weird because the bacon is not crispy at all.
208
So it just has like really porky taste, you know?
209
Yeah, not my thing Last thing the bamboo chicken shoot wrap.
210
I think that's like the most Unique one out of all bamboo shoots.
211
Yeah, I've never heard that or seen
212
that in a is this a bamboo shoot Or is this the chicken that might be the chicken?
213
Why is it so like long?
214
Well, don't pull it all out.
215
Let me try it I can't see the bamboo shoot.
216
It'd be like a white something.
217
I think it is.
218
No?
219
Yeah, that's it.
220
It's like shredded.
221
That's mid, bro.
222
Mid.
223
Fries?
224
Need more salt.
225
Are they the same as in Canada?
226
No. In North America, they load it up with the sodium.
227
Here, it's just like potato.
228
But they have the consistent shape and size and texture.
229
They just don't have the same flavor because they don't have as much salt.
230
Overall, I think the best thing out of at least three was this one.
231
This one was terrible.
232
I like the sauce on this was really bad.
233
So this one was the best, I would say.
234
The fries, like, they're not the best.
235
Yeah.
236
Overall, better or worse than North America?
237
The specialty ones?
238
Terrible.
239
I would never get those again.
240
If you like them, not bad, but no, I'm just being honest.
241
Like, I wouldn't get them again.
242
I'm also not the biggest fan of McDonald's, but I do love the McChicken, and I love the
243
mac
244
and i love getting a ice cream with apple pie oh
245
my god the apple pie is the best putting it together
246
you can't be mcdonald at like 4 a.m after you go out but anyway that's my review
247
you ready to bounce yeah where are we going where are
248
we going where are we going that's what i just asked
249
where are we going we're going to a night market
250
because it's almost night time as you can see the sun is starting to set we finished our food here
251
and our drinks so we'll go throw this out over there and then go to the night market.
252
Oh yeah.
253
It bounced.
254
Okay we're now walking to the night market and we're passing this.
255
This is the night market.
256
Oh this is?
257
Yeah it's like a night street.
258
I guess it's not night time yet but this whole street probably lights up at night.
259
You can already see the lanterns have lights in them.
260
Some squid, chicken feet, sausage, tripe, pork trotters.
261
This looks like it's the entrance to nowhere.
262
They sell pecking duck here.
263
Or pecking duck.
264
Yeah, pecking duck.
265
I really like Chinese lanterns, though.
266
I think they're very aesthetic, and they give, like, a nice, warm light, so you can take very nice photos.
267
Look at that drinking and driving ad.
268
Oh here?
269
Yeah.
270
Yeah, I don't know, I think that's, I guess it's pretty creative.
271
Instead of wine they have a red car there crashing into the bottom of the wine glass.
272
But yeah, right now we're just walking along the street here.
273
There are many restaurants on both sides of the street.
274
The road is aligned with restaurants.
275
Wow.
276
This place is called Guizhi Street.
277
Guizhi.
278
Guizhi Street.
279
And it's super famous in Beijing.
280
Why?
281
For restaurants and attractions.
282
Hello.
283
Hello.
284
Oh.
285
It's OK.
286
We ate.
287
Oh.
288
Thank you.
289
Thank you.
290
I guess they want you to eat, but we already ate.
291
Yeah.
292
And we had McDonald's.
293
Like true cultured tourists, we had to try the McDonald's menu.
294
These restaurants are super nice, but I wouldn't mind coming to one of these restaurants if I was like, you know, not full.
295
Okay, so I just went into one of these stores to buy my favorite Chinese drink, which is this tea.
296
Really, it's my favorite.
297
It tastes very good.
298
I think this one is the zero sugar because the top of it is black, but it's super good.
299
Yeah, I guess this is the number one crayfish restaurant in Beijing called Huda.
300
That's why there are like so many people out here.
301
We could come here at 4am and get Crayfish.
302
Let's stop the cap.
303
It's open 24 hours a day.
304
24 hours a day?
305
But I feel like wouldn't every restaurant taste pretty similar though?
306
No, this is the OG.
307
I guess it's for the clout.
308
Oh yeah, I see the 24 hour sign up there.
309
We bought a few things from the 7-Eleven.
310
I bought these candied walnuts.
311
Wow.
312
This chicken tofu snack.
313
Is that honey?
314
Like that's drizzling on the tofu.
315
No, it's chicken broth brought.
316
Oh.
317
And this pickled pepper bamboo shoots.
318
Bought those.
319
And Leon bought this cake.
320
Have you had it before?
321
Never.
322
It looks good.
323
I saw it yesterday when we were at that 7-Eleven.
324
Yeah and I also got this yogurt milk soda.
325

326

327

348
while cars bicycles and scooters move steadily along the crowded street the area feels lively warm
349
and full of energy people are walking between restaurants waiting outside for tables chatting with friends

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.
