Hello guys and welcome back to our in-trail diaries.
2
We are currently in Berlin and we have stayed here for three nights and we had an amazing time.
3
But now we are on to our next destination which is...
4
Braag!
5
We are very very excited.
6
We have never been there before and we've heard some really good things about the city.
7
It takes about four and a half hours to take the train there.
8
And this time we have seat reservations which is good because on the way to Berlin we had some troubles finding seats.
9
It was so exhausting because we were just sitting on the floor
10
and yeah it's not the best so definitely reserve your seats if you know it's gonna be a busy train.
11
If you're in Prague and you have to transport by tram, then we found this app.
12
It's called PID.
13
This one.
14
And it's super convenient.
15
You just search the location you're going and you can buy tickets from there.
16
We have arrived into our hotel room.
17
Questionable.
18
Helge, you chose this hotel.
19
Or was it me?
20
No, I think it was you.
21
No, no, it was you.
22
I think it was you.
23
Nope, it was you.
24
Okay, so we have been looking on Airbnb and, you know, booking.com and everything.
25
And the prices are insane.
26
Like, the prices were even higher than in Berlin.
27
And I would have expected it to be the opposite.
28
But apparently it's, you know, a quite small city.
29
And it's so popular right now.
30
The prices are just rising.
31
So we tried to find something, you know, affordable
32
and we read some reviews and the pictures looked like decent but yeah I mean it's okay
33
so welcome to our room here we have the entrance
34
and then we walk into the room and here is the bedroom and here is the bathroom
35
we are in bed now finally very excited to go to
36
sleep we are just planning what we want to do tomorrow
37
and it's gonna be an early rise tomorrow and i'm so
38
so excited to see the city properly because it was like pitch black outside
39
when we were in the tram so we couldn't really see the city properly
40
so I'm very excited for tomorrow so good night for now
41
and we'll see you guys tomorrow good morning guys we are
42
currently waiting for the tram we are going to have some
43
very nice breakfast I got recommended a place called it top off their Instagram looked amazing
44
so we wanted to have some very a very gourmet breakfast.
45
The weather is really nice but it's definitely a little bit like a colder breeze than in Berlin.
46
It's a little bit more like fresher in a good way and it's pretty sunny, a little bit cloudy but it's a lovely weather.
47
Guys, this place is insanely beautiful.
48
I am shocked.
49
I've been standing the whole time just taking pictures of everything because it's so beautiful.
50
We ordered a grilled sandwich and chocolate pancakes and of course some lemonade.
51
Wow, wow, wow!
52
The food was amazing!
53
We loved the grilled cheese, it was delicious!
54
It had some type of like pickled vegetables
55
and a lot of cheese we actually paid for like extra cheese
56
and then there was like the sauce to dip it in
57
and it was just i want to make it at home
58
oh my god the pancakes were very like interesting it had
59
a lot of like strawberry things like strawberry jam fresh strawberries
60
and then it was like chocolate pancakes so
61
if you like those things then you're in for a treat
62
we might take the tram into the like city center
63
because it takes maybe like 40 minutes to walk there
64
and of course we want to save some time
65
so yeah we might hop on to the tram first it's time for an outfit check
66
Thank you.
67
I ended up buying the top from the vintage store
68
because I thought it was so cute
69
and it's gonna look very nice with my outfits during our interrail
70
and it doesn't take up so much space so it's gonna be fine.
71
I've definitely been holding back on buying stuff from the vintage stores
72
because I don't have space to buy all of those things unfortunately
73
but this time it was okay because i can use it during this trip
74
and it doesn't take up so much space
75
but we've just been walking around getting to know the city a little bit better
76
and we saw the rotating head and it was
77
so cool i got some messages about trying chimney cake
78
and since we have never tried it before i think it
79
would be fun to try it for the very first time
80
and i found a place nearby so we are gonna go and try it out.
81
The rain has finally stopped and we just got our chimney cake
82
and we got the Snickers flavor and I'm so excited to try it.
83
I think it's like caramel ice cream.
84
So chimney cakes are made from a sweet yeast dough that is rolled into a long rope and baked around a cylinder.
85
And it is a traditional Hungarian pastry apparently.
86
We have finished the top ice cream so now it's time to dive into the chimney cake.
87
Oh my!
88
It reminds me of croissant, but still kind of cinnamon.
89
It's like thicker than croissant.
90
But filled with ice cream.
91
This is very like filling.
92
We are walking over the Charles Bridge and the views are incredible here.
93
It's so beautiful.
94
But it's filled with people.
95
Like crowded.
96
There are so many artists that are drawing portraits of people.
97
And it's so cute.
98
I really want to do it.
99
But I think since we only have our backpacks, I think it would get wrinkled.
100
So maybe it's not the best idea.
101
But it's so nice.
102
We just walked around the Old Town Square and it was beautiful and there was like a flash mob going on,
103
everyone started dancing and it was so much fun.
104
We were thinking about having an early dinner
105
because we are very hungry we wanted to go to a park called latna park
106
and we were just thinking about grabbing some food on the way there
107
and there is a restaurant i'm not going to try
108
and pronounce it but this is the place
109
and it has 15 000 reviews and on the website they say
110
that they make freshly prepared homemade food
111
and I think you can have like goulash and stuff So we wanted to go and have some comfort food
112
We are walking towards the Latna Park We are going to go to the beer garden and have some beer.
113
I'm very excited But the food was like okay.
114
It was good
115
But I guess that we are just not very familiar and used to this type of cuisine But it was good food,
116
but it's maybe not our typical go-to dinner,
117
but it was fun to try it out The food is very good.
118
The food is very good.
119
Helgi ordered a pilsner and it was a bit interesting.
120
It was quite different from the one in Denmark.
121
It was more bitter, I would say.
122
Sour, I don't know.
123
Just different.
124
But it's fun to try it out.
125
good morning we just got ready i'm wearing my new t-shirt
126
that i thrifted yesterday and i actually also thrifted these in berlin he is wearing my shirt
127
that i thrifted in copenhagen
128
and these super nice cos trousers but we are about to head out
129
so there's actually supposed to be some rain today unfortunately very sad about
130
that so our plan is to go and see the Prague castle
131
because there's no rain right now but later today it's going to be raining
132
so then we are going to have our breakfast
133
and I found a really cute breakfast spot close to the
134
Prague castle it was recommended by you guys it's called Soto
135
and I read the menu and there were
136
so many things I was like yum yum yum yum so I know it's gonna be good let's get going
137
We just bought the tickets
138
and we're gonna start off by going to the St. Tvirus Cathedral which is here behind me
139
so thankfully it didn't rain I brought my blazer just in case It's also a bit colder than yesterday, so it's just good to have it with me.
140
But we just finished at the Prague Castle, and now we are on our way to go and have our breakfast, finally.
141
So, so hungry.
142
So now we are headed to Soto.
143
I am so happy that we ended up going to this place because it is beautiful.
144
We just got our food.
145
We ordered this burrata.
146
It's with peas, rocket, and basil.
147
And it's like grilled pocaccia here.
148
And then we have a grilled toast here, which looks amazing.
149
And then we actually got some dessert.
150
We will try it on later Oh my god,
151
the food was so tasty You should come to this place if you are in Prague Honestly like the vibe,
152
I think the owner is here.
153
He's just so sweet He was like explaining the whole menu and just very kind.
154
Now it's time for the desserts.
155
We are walking to the Strahau Monastery.
156
They have two libraries there and I saw on TikTok
157
that they are beautiful so we really wanted to go and see them.
158
We just sat down in the park
159
and I don't think this is a park where people come and have picnics because there's no one here.
160
We bought some blue cheese, Serrano ham, crackers and Coca-Cola
161
So of course we fell asleep in the park It was so nice, it was just so peaceful and I think we were a bit tired
162
I saw a video previously on like tips and tricks on interrailing
163
and this girl said that you should take a nap at 4pm every single day to get energy
164
but we only have this evening left in Prague
165
so we are going to take the tram to a wine bar that you guys recommended
166
We are walking in a neighborhood called Holesovice
167
and it reminds us of Lisbon but has like a Scandinavian type of vibe
168
but the houses are so colorful like you saw in the clips before and it's beautiful
169
It's dinner time!
170
We were craving some dumplings
171
and we found a spot close to the wine bar called Dimsum Spot Latna and it looked really delicious.
172
We are on our way there and it's the most beautiful sunset currently.
173
I don't know if you can see it, but it's beautiful.
174
It's been like two hours since we finished our dinner at the restaurant.
175
We unfortunately took the wrong tram.
176
and then we took another wrong tram
177
and it was just like a whole mess and
178
when it's this late the tram doesn't run as often
179
so we had to wait then we had to walk to another station
180
and oh my goodness it was a complete mess
181
but we are happy that we are back at our hotel
182
and we need go to bed
183
because we are waking up pretty early to go to our next destination
184
which is vienna we actually haven't been to any of the cities
185
that we are traveling to which is so exciting overall prague was
186
so amazing honestly it's a very like special city and it's so beautiful
187
I have never taken as many pictures of a city in my entire life.
188
The buildings here remind me a bit of Paris, but with a hint of Lisbon because of the colors.
189
And it's just, it's beautiful here.
190
And I feel like we got to know the city quite well during these two days that we were here.
191
I mean, of course, we could have explored it even better, but it's not like a huge city.
192
so if you are coming here then maybe two three four days should be enough
193
but thank you guys so much for watching and i'll see you in vienna 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.
