Hey guys, it's Arianita La Gringa and welcome back to my YouTube channel.
2
Can you guys guess where I'm at today?
3
Today I'm at Starbucks and as you can see behind me,
4
you can see the beautiful Starbucks logo that they have and this logo is famous worldwide.
5
You all might be wondering, Arianita, why are you at Starbucks?
6
Well today I'm at Starbucks because I want to teach you guys some coffee vocabulary and you guys might be wondering,
7
wait, it's really easy to order coffee.
8
Actually, it can be pretty difficult, especially at Starbucks, because they have different sizes, different coffee, and different drinks all together.
9
So come along with me and let's go learn some English vocab inside Starbucks.
10
Before walking inside this Starbucks store, I want to teach you guys some facts about Starbucks.
11
The first original Starbucks opened in 1971 in Seattle,
12
Washington, and there are over 33,833 stores worldwide.
13
15,000 of those stores are located right in the United States of America.
14
I have a question for you all.
15
Do you guys have a Starbucks in your city or country?
16
Let me know down below.
17
Before walking inside the Starbucks store and ordering a cup of coffee, I need to teach you guys one thing.
18
The first thing is a coffee bean.
19
What is a coffee bean?
20
A coffee bean is a seed from a coffee plant.
21
And where do you find coffee plants?
22
Coffee plants are most common in Venezuela, Colombia, Guatemala, countries in South America and Central America.
23
They are also found in Africa.
24
Countries like Ethiopia are rich with coffee plants.
25
Let's go ahead and walk inside and order a cup of coffee and learn some English vocab in Starbucks.
26
The next important thing about coffee is the roast.
27
So what is a roast?
28
A roast is the process of drying coffee beans for their taste and appearance.
29
They have three different types of roasts.
30
They have a light roast, a medium roast, and a dark roast.
31
And the nice thing about these roasts is on the back of this package, you can actually scan this barcode and you can check out where your coffee beans are from.
32
Right now, I will scan this bag and I will trace where my coffee is from.
33
I am scanning the code on the back of the package
34
and it says that this batch of Starbucks Blonde Espresso Roast is from Honduras, Kenya, and Guatemala.
35
Now that you guys know what a coffee bean is, what a roast is, let's jump to the most exciting part, the different types of coffee.
36
There are two types of coffee.
37
There is hot coffee and cold coffee.
38
Let's learn some of the different types of hot and cold coffees with your native English teacher, Arianita Lagringa.
39
Here are some hot coffees.
40
Americano.

42

44
Latte.
45
A latte is espresso, steamed milk, which is basically hot milk, and a little bit of foam milk on top.
46

48
It has espresso and steamed milk, but it has a lot more foam milk compared to a latte.
49
Mocha.
50
A mocha is a combination of espresso, chocolate, and steamed milk.
51
It's a sweet and chocolatey coffee drink.

Cold coffee drinks can be served over ice.

54
Frappuccino.
55

56
It's mixed in a blender.
57
After learning about the different types of coffee, I am going to choose and order a hot cup of coffee at the counter.
58
Before ordering, there are two types of coffee you can choose from.
59
You can choose caffeinated coffee with caffeine, or you can choose decaffeinated coffee.
60
It's also called decaf coffee because this has no caffeine inside of it.
61
You can also choose a half-caf, which just means there is half caffeine and half decaf.
62
Half of it is with caffeinated coffee beans and the other half is with decaffeinated coffee beans.
63
Before ordering my cup of hot coffee, I am going to browse along all of the sweet treats that they have inside this store.
64
My favorite type of sweet treat that they have here is the banana loaf bread.
65
It costs $3.95 and they also have some pumpkin loaf breads,
66
pumpkin cream cheese muffin, and they have a chocolate chip cookie.
67
This chocolate chip cookie costs $2.95.
68
Now I'm going to order a hot cup of coffee at the counter.
69

86

99
sleeve this is a sleeve that'll go around the drink because this is a hot drink so it may get really hot.
100
This sleeve will just protect my fingers.
101
Also I ordered this drink just a tall white chocolate mocha and I didn't want to ask for a sugar packet.
102
I did not want a sugar packet because this drink already has way too much sugar.
103
As I said before I didn't take any sugar packets but if I were to choose some sugar packets, there are three choices.
104
I can take brown sugar, white sugar, or the substitute for sugar, stevia.
105

106
and for my sweet treat, my banana nut bread.
107
For this tall white chocolate mocha, I paid $4.95.
108
And for this banana nut loaf, I paid $3.95.

112
I'm about to finish drinking my hot cup of coffee in 90 degree weather
113
and I forgot to tell you guys that you can use this stopper as a stirrer.
114
So you can take off this lid of the coffee cup and then if you want to stir your coffee,
115
you use this stirrer and mix it together.
116
You use stirrers when you put a sugar packet in your coffee.
117
Lastly, you guys might be wondering that Starbucks has these same sizes like other coffee shops.
118
Small, medium, and large.
119
Well, here at Starbucks, that's not the case.
120
Starbucks has different sizes.
121
This small cup is a tall coffee cup.
122
A medium is a grande, but grande means large in Spanish.
123
I know that's very confusing.
124
The large size is called a venti.
125
So it's tall, grande, venti.
126
Okay guys, I'm finally finished with this amazing video at Starbucks.

¿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.
