Way back then Is there all the movies on a big stream?
2
When We couldn't afford a...
3
Good morning guys.
4
Today we're going cafe hopping.
5
Which means to go from one coffee shop to the next.
6
You're coming with us.
7
We're gonna learn loads of English and have some fun.
8
Let's go.
9
So we've just arrived at the cafe and the name is Wanderlust.
10
Which is wordplay for another word which means a desire to travel.
11
Speaking of travel, let's continue.
12
We've just got our drinks.
13
I've got a salted coffee and this is a straw raw.
14
Now Chang is stirring her matcha coconut with a teaspoon.
15
This is a teaspoon.
16
So now while Chang films some beautiful shots for the YouTube video, I'm going to take you guys around and learn some English around the place.
17
Where we are sitting, this is a chair with a cushion on the chair.
18
It's a table, that's the base of the table with a metal pole upwards.
19
This is the rail, metal rail, and it's on a balcony over here is where the baristas
20
and the waitresses are making the coffee and delivering the coffee to the customers.
21
This is a mirror.
22
This is a sign that says staff only so don't go in there.
23
Here these are called hanging plants and this is steam water vapor. Since then.
24
We've got some kind of shop here.
25
That is a coffee grinder where you grind your beans.
26
These are the thin coffee filters.
27
There are two types of coffee bean.
28
Arabica has less caffeine.
29
Robusta has more caffeine.
30
You are stunning.
31
Gorgeous.
32
Well, elegant.
33
Cute.
34
Now I'm going to buy these postcards from the gift shop.
35
So this is the card machine, this is where you tap your card.
36
This is where the receipts come out of.
37
These are all cute.
38
So this is my credit card or debit card and I'm tapping my card on the card reader.
39
So I'm getting one more thing and this is 50,000 dong.
40
This is called a note, a bank note.
41
This is the receipt, got the product, this is the change.
42
Let's go.
43
So this is a staircase and we are walking down the staircase.
44
So now we are close to our next destination so we're gonna go on foot.
45
We're gonna walk to the next cafe for today.
46
We just bought some postcards so we're gonna do some creative writing.
47
So this is a zebra crossing and we are waiting to cross the road.
48
Can we go now?
49
Alright let's go.
50
You're about to see the green man.
51
That is the green man.
52
That means we can cross the road.
53
Speaking of green men, there's a green man too.
54
They are getting in a taxi.
55
To our left, that is the famous Han Market.
56
You can get lots of fruits, vegetables, other knick-knacks, which means small little items, souvenirs and such.
57
So that is a pushchair or a pram.
58
There's a baby in the pushchair.
59
Crossing on the zebra crossing again.
60
This is a zebra crossing, and we are crossing the road.
61
So this is a fruit store.
62
Pretty flowers.
63
Shop.
64
Crisps.
65
You can't smell this guys, but...
66
Durian. So, reen...
67
Durian.
68
This is a bus stop.
69
Fucking hell.
70
That was a horn, and that scared the living daylights out of me.
71
So here is a large gate.
72
There are many tourists.
73
Everyone is taking pictures and seeing the church.
74
So this is a large kumquat tree and these small oranges are called kumquats.
75
It's a funny word.
76
This is a plant pot.
77
This is a chang.
78
She's filming me right now.
79
Say hello to the camera.
80
Hello.
81
Hello!
82
The Vietnam flag.
83
So we are making our way to the next destination.
84
You can say making your way somewhere, it means you are heading there.
85
So this is a...
86
convex mirror.
87
A convex mirror.
88
Hello.
89
Hello.
90
So we've arrived at the coffee shop and this up here is called bunting.
91
Colorful bunting.
92
So when we get to the coffee shop, the verb that we use is to order coffee.
93
So if you want to ask politely in English for something, you say could I have or could I get.
94
Could I have a coconut coffee?
95
But I'm going to try in Vietnamese.
96
What do you want?
97
What do you want?
98
Same.
99
I agree with you.
100
We're going to go upstairs.
101
I am sitting down on my chair and waiting for my...
102
Okay, so the waitress is arriving with the drinks.
103
This is...
104
Yeah, come on.
105
What is this Chang?
106
It's not water, but it's like some kind of tea.
107
Very refreshing.
108
On a hot day, a cold drink is refreshing.
109
I made it.
110
So we just got our order.
111
What do we have?
112
We have coconut coffee and another coconut coffee here is a straw
113

114
of this cool place we have an old book shelf with
115
some old books they are dusty you see the dust on my finger that book is dusty this is a metal fan.
116
This is an old lamp and I think the lamp is also a little bit dusty.
117

118
This is an old camcorder.
119

132
Coffee makes you feel jittery.
133
Love this word.
134
Jittery.
135
And that means like a bit shaky.
136
So I've had two coffees and I'm a bit jittery.
137
These in the pot are napkins and I'm taking a napkin and dabbing my mouth.
138
Chang is taking a sip from the straw.
139
I am unzipping my bag, taking out the postcards from earlier and handing one to Chang.
140
Now we're doing one of my favorite writing exercises, which is called sense writing.
141
You're gonna write for five minutes about everything around you.
142
What you can see, what you can smell, what you can taste, what you can feel and what you can hear.
143
Okay, now we've finished the sense writing.
144
I'm going to show you guys mine for an example.
145

The sound of Spanish guitar sings from the old radio.
148
The plants dance like ballerinas.

Relaxed.
155
from a dreamer's reality Baby, baby, you are really hurting me Food has arrived.
156
We have a plate of edamame beans and two bowls of ramen.
157
Apparently, I've heard this, in Japan, if you don't slurp your noodles, which is to...
158
slurp, that's considered rude because you should slurp if you're happy.
159
If you don't slurp, you're not happy.
160
Is that true?
161
Any Japanese people out there can confirm that?
162
Thanks.
163
Inside, the liquid part is called broth.

There are noodles.
165

169
You can hold the handle of the jug and pour it in the glass.
170
Now the glass is full.
171
I'm finished.
172
I am stuffed.
173
Stuffed means very full.
174
Have you got room for dessert?
175
Mmm.
176

177
These are small chocolates in a glass case.
178
This is a bucket hat.
179

181

183

184

185

186
This is the handle of the tote bag.
187

189
Oh, look at that.
190
Wow.
191
That is where they are mixing the melted chocolate.
192
Oh my god, and you cannot smell this, but that smells divine.
193
I don't want to drop my camera inside.
194
That wouldn't be good, would it?
195
So here she is plating up the chocolates.
196
She's putting them on the plate, she's plating them up, and she's using small metal tongs.
197
She's taking the plastic tray of chocolates and putting it on the shelf.
198

¿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.
