This is a fudge stick.

Today we are in the Lizard Village.

which is the most southerly village in the UK.

So we are as far south as you can possibly be.

It's an amazing sunny day today.

So I thought I could show you a little bit of

what this part of the UK is like during the heat wave.

The Lizard Village is a town with a really rich maritime history.

It's got a really really rich maritime history so there's a lot of history relating to the sea.

You can probably tell that there is a bit of a sea breeze here.

It never gets too hot in the Lizard but It's around 22 degrees today.

So I thought maybe we could head to the beach.

I thought we could go for a bit of a walk

and that I could just show you this village because I think it's a real...

It's a real hidden gem in the UK.

It is touristy, but it's not super touristy.

And I think more people should know about it because This part of the UK is absolutely gorgeous.

And yeah, I want to show it to you today.

Right now we are at the most southerly point of mainland UK.

Actually, we're a few metres away from the most southerly point.

But right down here at the end of the UK is this tiny little beach.

with some fishing boats.

and it's just gorgeous.

I'll explain a little bit about what some of the buildings are in this area, what the history of this area is.

But first, I think we should probably grab something to eat.

There is a cafe on top of the cliff, so...

Let's head there first and we'll get some food that is traditional.

to this area.

Thank you.

- Thank you.

We have stopped off at Wavecrest Cafe and we've ordered a cream tea.

If you like eating kind of traditional food when you travel, in Cornwall, this is the tradition.

We have two scones.

These here are scones.

and they come with clotted cream and some strawberry jam.

And I'll show you how to make them because people sometimes get like, a bit confused.

And also we have some cups of tea as well.

The first thing you do with a cream tea Is?

You cut it and half.

And then, You have to put on the jam and the cream - Thank you.

There is a little bit of competition over, or a bit of tension over which way round you should do it if you do jam or cream first.

So if you are in a part of the UK called Devon, if you're in Devon, You do cream fast.

But we are in Cornwall, so we do jam first.

If you want to have like a...

Cornish cream tea.

It's always jam first.

God, I'm making it look shit, man.

What do you do?

Do you do jam or cream first?

I do cream first.

Monster.

In Cornwall, we do jam first and then this is a pot of clotted cream.

Kormu is very famous for its clotted cream.

It's like a thick cream.

and you just take like this. And You put it...

You put the cream on top.

Like this Thank you.

And there you go.

We now have our Cornish Thank you.

Kurdish cream tea.

Cheers.

Jump first.

Mm.

With a cream tea, You also get given a pot of tea So when you get this,

Let it brew for a while so don't drink it straight away just give it like

five minutes for the tea to get stronger.

And I have like a little teacup here.

I then add...

My tea.

to the pot I have quite strong tea.

I don't like a lot of milk.

So I just do a dash - dash of milk.

And for meat, one sugar.

It's a bit too hot for tea.

While I drink my tea, I thought that maybe I could explain to you some of the history of this area

and just a little bit more about the lizard itself.

From where we're sat at the Wave Crest cafe you can see right down to the most southerly point of the UK.

It's really amazing, the sea here is beautiful.

it's full of boats too so you can see like small fishing boats you can see Big.

cargo ships, there are yachts, everything.

The reason why this part of the water is so busy is because this is the entrance kind of.

This is like the entryway to the English Channel.

Basically, all of the shipping going to Northern Europe comes up through this way.

However, this part of the coast is really really dangerous it's really dangerous so you can maybe see in the water

some of the rocks that are sticking out.

So the lizard is famous for having hundreds and hundreds of shipwrecks over the years.

This is why you can see the old lifeboat house.

So this is where the lifeboat used to be launched from in order to try and save people from sinking ships.

And this is also why they have the lighthouse here as well.

It's to try and warn shipping of the dangers of this part of the coast.

On a day like today, though, honestly, it's It doesn't look very dangerous at all, it just looks absolutely beautiful.

The water is so clear, it's so blue.

This part of the coast is an area of outstanding natural beauty.

Basically it's protected, you can't just build like a massive house with no consideration for the environment.

And yeah, we're gonna go take a walk and enjoy that a little bit.

today.

No worries.

117

It's only here at low tide.

118

So only when the tide is out, Is that actually a beach here?

119

But this is probably one of the best things about

120

the lizard it's the reason why so many people come to the lizard and visit and It's just absolutely beautiful.

121

There are lots of caves and things here.

122

So we're walking right through a cave right now.

123

I have been in the sea.

135

It was like Freezing.

Absolutely freezing, but...

137

It was worth it.

138

I feel good now.

139

We are going to head back up to the Lizard Village now.

140

It is quite a steep walk.

141

Like, I don't know if you could see in the videos, but it is quite a steep walk up the cliff.

142

It is worth it because in the village they have the most amazing ice cream ever.

143

If you come to Cornwall you have to have a cream tea and if you go to the Lizard, you have to get ice cream from the Lizard ice cream shop

144

So we're going to head up the cliff and Grab an ice cream.

145

163

And this here, This is a fudge stick.

164

Cornwall is very famous for its fudge and this is just a stick, a stick of fudge.

165

It's like, it's made of sugar.

166

So it's very sugary.

167

These ice creams are the best.

168

If you want the best ice cream in Kormu, go to the the lizard ice cream shop.

169

The reason why I can say that this is the best Ice cream.

170

171

is because it's my family's business.

172

So my family have owned this shop for 100 years, and this is the absolute best Cornish ice cream.

173

And I can say that because It's my family's, my family's shop.

174

So if you want the best ice cream in Cornwall, in the UK, ever go to the ice cream shop in The Lizard.

175

before anybody starts panicking this is a doggy ice cream

176

that Wilson is having it's like no dairy no sugar it's

177

like safe for safe for dogs I was unable to film an outro um for this video

178

because this microphone died basically so I wanted to do it here and also I expect that some people will

179

questions as to, like, why is it called the Lizard Village?

180

Like, the lizard, like, the animal.

181

It's actually...

182

it's kind of maybe complicated

183

but cornwall where i'm from it used to have a language called cornish so it was a language completely separate from English.

184

Eventually English became more widely spoken in Cornwall and speaking Cornish was discouraged.

185

They wanted everybody to speak English.

186

So a lot of the place names

187

that used to be Cornish were translated into English and they would just choose the closest English word to the Cornish one.

188

So the town

189

the lizard in Cornish is called Lizaard

190

which means like high court like high place

191

but the closest sounding English word to Lizaard is lizard and that's why it's called the lizard village so I'm sorry,

192

it has nothing to do with like actual lizards.

193

It's just the translation from Cornish into English.

194

I have lots of videos like this on my channel.

195

And I make videos in English that's easy for learners to understand.

196

But I still try and use lots of slang and expressions

197

and try and introduce you to the phrases that you will see in native content.

198

watching I will see you in the next video bye

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
