hey guys it's us

and welcome to shanghai china i think this is a highlight

of my day right now it's the best way to end

the day for sure this is absolutely insane bro this store

is huge it's crazy in here shopping is crazy people going crazy for clothes we're at shanghai disneyland

holy crap that is delicious look at how cute they are

Thank you.

good morning first full day here in the beautiful city of shanghai

and we're gonna start this vlog off with some delicious local cuisine so let's go eat first let's go

all right so this is the restaurant we're heading to they're known for their crab noodles and their Xiaolong Bao.

It's called Jai Jai Tang Bao.

I'm probably saying that wrong but it looks super delicious here and they have really good reviews so we'll check that out.

So if you guys are wondering how we get around here in Shanghai, we've been using the DD app.

So this is basically their Uber or their Grab here in the city of Shanghai.

so we are here now at the restaurant

and our food just arrived it looks so good

so they're very well known here for their crab noodle soup

so what it is it's noodles with savory crab root

or crab rum from reading online this is a must try

here in shanghai all right let's mix the soup with the noodles oh my gosh dude that looks crazy

it looks so savory and it smells so good yeah it does

i love crabs so i feel like we're really gonna like that all right let's give it a go

holy crap that is delicious packed with crab flavors so savory

so rich it's also so buttery too with the roe

and the crab meat like mixed together oh my gosh babe you're gonna love this dude that's

so good that's easily a 10 out of 10 for me

how's that jan really got me wonton soup and he got himself the crab

no we're obviously sharing i'm gonna share this is so good that's

so yummy yeah you can see the crab eggs as well

packed with flavor yeah all i taste is crab it's so good Alright, let's give this shallow bowl a go.

We got our ginger with vinegar right here.

Ooh, it's dripping.

Dip in the vinegar sauce.

Yo, so much flavor in this little tiny dumpling.

Delicious.

so we're here now at our second stop

which is a cafe we're here to get some coffee we

didn't have coffee yet we're here at a cafe called metal hands

and apparently they're very well known for some great coffee honestly the coffee seen here in shanghai is just

so great in general

but metal hands is specifically known to have really good dirty pistachio latte oh that sounds It's not so good.

That's so good.

Thank you.

All right, so I've got mine.

It's the mysterious dirty so we're about to find out what it tastes like oh that's strong but that's really good

all right guys so we're here now at our second stop of today

which is shanghai tower what better way to see this mega city than at the very top of shanghai

so shanghai tower is the tallest building here in china and it is the third tallest building in the world

okay so as always

if you want to skip the line we booked our tickets on kluk use our code janina kluk

and you will save money anyways let's go to the very top

and see nothing apparently she said there's zero visibility oh

and we always get unlucky with these towers or buildings here we go

welcome to shanghai tower we are taking the world's fastest high

speed elevator in only 55 seconds we will reach observatory of shanghai tower

all right so we're here now oh my god is this heaven because i can't see nothing but clouds

so there's legit no visibility up here just use your imagination i mean we can somewhat see down there

but it's like this all week so even

if we wanted to go tomorrow like there would still be no visibility

because it's cloudy all week

and we're only here for seven days i was actually really excited for this

because apparently the view from up here especially at night is crazy

so we definitely got lucky it cleared up a little bit

so we can actually see the city now all the houses

and buildings from up here look like little legos look at that Daaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

so we just left the observatory deck another cool thing to

do here in shanghai tower is visit the bookstore it's called duo yun bookstore i'm not sure

if i'm pronouncing that right but it's on the 52nd floor

and it is one of the highest bookstores in the world apparently you do need a reservation to enter

but because we don't have a chinese number we weren't able to make a reservation

so we just went up to the guy and said

that we weren't able to and he just let us through

so they also have a cafe that has the view

but you need to buy something in order to go outside

so I think we're just gonna get a coffee and and then enjoy the view thank you very much

let's go check this cafe out

whoa okay there's a few here there's some visibility here wow

this has got to be the nicest cafe i now see why you need a reservation to come up here

because i feel like if you didn't If you have to make a reservation, it would be packed.

Anne is so happy right now.

I'm so giddy.

Like, I love bookstores and this is, like Jan said, probably the most beautiful bookstore we've ever been to.

I mean, look at the view.

I mean, Jan doesn't really go to bookstores though.

Yeah, I came here for the view and the drink.

all right so i don't even know if people actually come here for the books it doesn't look like it

i think we would just come here for the cafe

and the view so you've heard us talk about money transfers on this channel before

but this one is seriously a game changer unplex is a cross -border payment service

that lets you send money from the u .s to the

philippines entirely through whatsapp no new apps no complicated steps just a simple chat

and your transfer is done it's ai powered with competitive rates and they've waived the 299 flat fee for first -time transfers.

While still new, the platform is already trusted, backed by Silicon Valley investors and partnered with Visa.

If you're interested, you can check them out at the link below for more info and the best rates.

All right guys so we are here now at our next location which is Nanjing Road.

So Nanjing Road is very well known for shopping and entertainment.

So if you guys love to shop this is definitely the place like this is shoppers paradise

and first impressions everything is so vibrant and it has such an electric vibe

and it's not even dark yet yeah i'm actually like super overwhelmed right now

100

so coming to shanghai since it is our first time here

101

i had very high expectation of the city since it is the largest city in population here in china

102

so far it exceeded my expectations and we've only been here for, what, a day?

103

Yeah.

104

It's super modern, very clean, and overall a beautiful city.

105

All right, so right now we're currently lined up for mochi i'm not sure

106

if it's actually mochi but there's a big line

107

and it kind of intrigues ann and i all right

108

so we got some mochi also guys

109

if you're wondering how to conveniently pay here in china definitely download alipay

110

because it's been a game changer not a lot of restaurants especially the smaller chains yeah they don't accept cards

111

or cash yeah definitely download alipay

112

so it's basically their apple pay here all right let's go

113

eat eat some more it looks like shrek it's like what shrek would poop out okay i didn't take it

114

that far i was about to put in my mouth oh interesting the texture is like mochi like

115

but it tastes kind of like green tea there's like stuff inside.

116

Red bean?

117

Let's give this a go.

118

Yeah, it's red bean.

119

This one has some like flakes on it.

120

I'm guessing it's like coconut flakes.

121

It's really good though.

122

It's not so sweet.

123

It's like the perfect amount of sweetness.

124

It's like perfect dessert.

125

I like that.

126

What's that in there?

127

It's like black.

128

What's that?

129

I don't know.

130

Let's give this a go.

131

Alright so can someone tell us what this is?

132

The texture is like sand.

133

Sand?

134

It's like sand in my mouth.

135

I almost choked bro.

136

I'm not sure what that black stuff is in there.

137

I'm not sure either but damn it's delicious.

138

all right so it's now night time it's a totally different world out here it's

139

so bright yeah so vibrant with all the neon lights makes me want to shop

140

and party makes me not want to go home

141

so we're just walking around now before we head to our

142

next spot we're Canadians right we grew in canada what is this disrespect

143

that i see right here what is this what is that what tim's go No, it's Tim Hortons.

144

It's Timmy's alright, not Tim's go.

145

What is this bro?

146

You

147

so our next activity on our itinerary for today is a

148

river cruise we're going to be doing the huang pu river

149

cruise you guys already know where we booked it i don't have to tell you

150

but we wanted to wait until night time to do this cruise

151

because as you can see behind me all the buildings are lit up

152

and it looks absolutely magical all right guys so i had no idea

153

and even booked this tour I think this is the highlight of my day right now Yeah

154

So we wanted to see all of the city lights from Shanghai Tower

155

But we highly recommend that you do the cruise instead

156

Because it takes you along the river

157

And you can see some of the most iconic spots here

158

in Shanghai As well as the beautiful buildings Oh my gosh

159

This is absolutely insane It's the best way to end the day for sure Look at all the lights

160

Shanghai at night is crazy bro It's just so bright out here It's lit out here, it's lit!

161

all right so we paid like 15 dollars for this cruise on kluk and it's a 45 minute cruise

162

and it's beautiful yeah this is definitely a must do here in shanghai you have to do this at night especially. At night.

163

so we are ending our night here at yuyuan old street

164

and it's basically a historic and traditional shopping street

165

and you can also find some local eats here

166

so before we end the night we're gonna go shopping first and eat mostly eat

167

all right so we're walking around there's so many food stalls here as you can see this street It's very vibrant, lit up, and just full of energy.

168

We love it.

169

So this place feels like a Chinatown, but we're in China.

170

all right we're trying to see if we can find some xiaolongbao

171

or some pork fried buns but unfortunately it's already 10 20 p .m

172

and most of the restaurants here are actually closed

173

but there are some stalls on the side of the main road

174

that are still open so let's go see what they

175

have all right guys not a lot of restaurants are open right now

176

so this is what we found there's a mcdonald's over there

177

so yeah i don't know everything's closing unfortunately we lost track of time

178

because we were having so much fun but

179

if you guys are coming to you on old street definitely come early

180

¿Qué aprenderás en esta lección?

En esta práctica, mejorarás tu speaking inglés con un video sobre una experiencia en Shanghai, una megaciudad china. Analizarás diálogos cotidianos, aprenderás vocabulario específico de viajes y comida, y practicarás la técnica de shadow speech para imitar la pronunciación y el ritmo natural de los hablantes. Ideal para quienes buscan práctica de speaking para el IELTS o simplemente quieren comunicarse con fluidez en situaciones reales.

Vocabulario y frases clave

Megacity: Ciudad gigante, con millones de habitantes. En el video, se refiere a Shanghai.
Xiaolong Bao: Dumpling chino relleno de carne y caldo, un plato típico de Shanghai.
Crab noodle soup: Sopa de fideos con cangrejo, un plato destacado en el menú del restaurante.
DD app: Aplicación de transporte similar a Uber, usada en China para moverse por la ciudad.
Skip the line: Evitar la fila. En el video, se recomienda reservar tickets online para no esperar.

Consejos para practicar con shadow speech

El shadow speak es una técnica probada para mejorar la pronunciación y el ritmo. Aquí cómo aplicarla con este video: 1. Escucha un fragmento corto (5-10 segundos) y repítelo inmediatamente, imitando la entonación y la velocidad. 2. Presta atención a frases como "holy crap that is delicious" o "we're gonna start this vlog off" para practicar la naturalidad en expresiones cotidianas. 3. Pausa y repite partes donde el hablante acelera, como al describir la comida. Este video es perfecto porque combina diálogos relajados y descripciones detalladas, ideal para aprender inglés con videos de forma efectiva. Recuerda: la clave es la repetición constante para internalizar el patrón de habla.

¿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.
