Alright, today is our first full day in Bangkok and we woke up, we're getting some coffee, we're at the coffee store.

I'm here with Daniel.
13
Hello. And Nick.
14
We're literally on the side of the street drinking this coffee right now.
15
I don't know if you can hear the cars, but there's a constant stream of traffic.
16
Anyway, it's very exciting for New Year's Eve.
17
We're going to make some moves for New Year's, obviously.
18
But we also have lots to do today.
19
This coffee was insane, but we're gonna go find some food, maybe hit up a local Thai spot.

36
Oh, there's a car.
37
$6.20 for all of us.
38
Are you kidding me? $6.18 actually.
39
I think that was the cheapest meal we had in Thailand.
40
How much was it? $6.20.
41
For three meals and a drink.
42
That's crazy.
43
That was crazy.
44
And it was very, very good.
45

Kinda crazy.
58
Oh, this is a very cool street.
59
These tuk-tukes.
60
I'm like light headed from the spice.
61
I think the spice is kinda like...
62
Bro, everything is happening at once.
63
I'm very over...
64
You're overstimulated right now?
65
Yes.
66
Yeah, there's a lot going on right now.
67
A lot of stimulus in Bangkok.
68
Pretty sick though.
69
Daniel and I are just like overstimulated and you're just like, Let's go!
70
Let's go!
71
I'm used to this.
72
I'm a little bit disoriented from the spice, I'm not gonna lie.
73
Wasn't that spicy?
74
No, it was actually quite spicy and I'm a little bit disoriented, like there's a lot going on.
75
And the spice is hot, hot, hot.
76
I still feel it in my head now, which is kind of crazy.
77
Oh my lord, this is so packed.
78
This is true.
79

80

81

86
It's a fatty can.
87
It's in a can.
88
They sealed it.
89
Yes, they sealed it.
90
How did they seal it?
91
I don't know how they sealed it, but it's sealed.

101
Can I try it?
102
Yeah.
103
I'm sorry.
104
Gotta get me one of those.
105
Cause you had it the other day.
106

108
Hella practical hat.
109
Wow.
110

111
Pleasure.
112
Did you tell the vlog about your son headache?
113
I didn't tell him.
114
Well, Elliot had like a sun super burn.
115
No, I got heat exhaustion a few days ago playing golf in Hua Hin, and I just died for like two days straight.
116
I should have been golfing with this.
117
Then I would have been okay.
118
But I think it would have impacted my game a little bit.
119
I don't think.
120
Handicap, right?
121
I think it literally will restrict my movement.
122
Yo, what's up?
123
Hey.
124
I've seen your videos this week.
125
Oh, nice to meet you, man.
126
What's your name?
127
Mustafa.
128
Can I get a photo?
129
Yeah, of course.
130
I think it's sick.
131
We just picked up a bag of fruits.
132
Literally.
133
Oh.
134
Oh, it's very good.
135
Let me try that apple.
136
Mmm.
137
It's very good.
138
I had to set you up.
139
Very good.
140
I'm not sworn I'm on the mattress Feel like I'm doing something wrong
141
When I ask you to do it with the lights turned on
142
You hate my favorite song But you love the way I can't sing a song How's it going?
143
In seeing shots?
144
Yeah Where is it?
145
I have no idea Those flying the drone AL, yeah Alright, we're up on the roof for sunset Wow, this is a crazy view of the city,
146

147
to make it single up a telephone line Now you would call me like an airborne virus, I know Some of them things I used to see on TV
148
Some of them things you say keep me up
149
and down Some of them things you say keep me up
150
and down Some of them things you say keep me up and down I need to be judged, don't need to be loved You wake me up and down Alright,
151
we're on the rooftop of our Airbnb There is a little pool up here, which is super nice We have it all to ourselves I don't know how there's no one up here, but very very nice.
152
I just took a little dip.
153
And look at this view of Bangkok behind us.
154
It's crazy.
155
We're taking an hour or two to chill before New Year's Eve tonight.
156
We're like a few hours away from midnight.
157
Still have no idea what we're doing, but it's okay.
158
We're gonna figure it out.
159
Nick is over there reading a book.
160
She's very locked in on whatever she's reading.
161
Daniel is flying his drone.
162
Also very locked in.
163
I am not locked in.
164
I'm just doing laps in the pool.
165
I feel like we did a lot today.
166
Did a good amount of exploring and we still have more to do tonight since it's New Year's Eve.
167
I feel like Bangkok is so big.
168
There's so much to explore.
169
Even all of this feels like such a small part of Bangkok.
170
And today, I feel like we did so much.
171
I can't believe it's actually only been a little over 24 hours since we arrived in Bangkok.
172
It feels like we've been here at least a few days.
173
Definitely not basically 24 hours.
174
So yeah, I'm glad that we have around a week here.
175
I think we have a little over a week actually, which I think will be perfect because there's lots to see
176
and hopefully we can build in some rest time too
177
because I feel like scheduling in some rest time is important when you're traveling.
178
Anyway, sun's going down fast.
179
I'm starting to hear some fireworks off in the distance.
180
I guess they're doing their test runs right now and we'll see what we end up doing for New Year's.
181
Hey guys, what should we do for New Year's?
182
We haven't decided.
183

184
We're gonna do something I don't know what
185

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
Engaging with real-life conversations is a crucial aspect of improving your English speaking skills. This video showcases a lively interaction between friends experiencing Bangkok for the first time, offering a rich context for learners. By practicing with this transcript, you can not only enhance your vocabulary but also grasp the nuances of casual conversation. The excitement shown in their plans for New Year's Eve, along with authentic reactions to food, immerses you in real-world scenarios that will help you speak more naturally.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In this lively dialogue, several key structures emerge that are valuable for learners:
- Imperative verbs: Phrases like "Let’s go!" convey enthusiasm and urgency. These are commonly used in spoken English to motivate actions.
- Question formation: The speaker uses "How much was that?" demonstrating how to naturally form questions about prices and experiences in conversation.
- Descriptive language: Expressions describing food, such as "it was very, very good" and "so spicy," showcase how to give opinions and engage in discussions about experiences.
- Informal contractions: Phrases like "I don't know if you can hear" show the informal nature of spoken English, which differs from written language.
Understanding these structures can help you in practical situations, making your speech more fluid and relatable.
Common Pronunciation Traps
When practicing English, certain words and expressions can pose pronunciation challenges. Here are a few noted from the video:
- Spicy: Ensure you emphasize the ‘i’ sound correctly to avoid confusion with similar-sounding words.
- Coffee: The ‘o’ pronunciation in this word can vary by accent; listen closely to capture the subtle differences.
- Crazy: Pay attention to the stress on the first syllable, as this can alter understanding.
Using a shadowing app or a shadowing site can help you practice these tricky words in a practical context. The shadowing technique is particularly effective for improving your pronunciation as you mimic the speakers in real-time. By integrating these phrases into your speech, you will significantly improve your English pronunciation and be better prepared for spontaneous conversations.
¿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.
