shaver this is my shaving cream i'm gonna put the shaving cream on my hand lather it up with water

and then put it on my face then i will use my shaver to shave my face

so now i'm going to use this to hold my hair back

so it doesn't hit my face

when i'm shaving you can see my hair is out of my face now

but i think before i shave i will clean my ears with this q -tip this is a q -tip

and now i will clean both my ears

and i'll use one for each side now i'm splashing water

on my face warm water now i'm lathering up my face

with my shaving cream now i'm going to start shaving my face.

Okay guys you can see I've just finished shaving my face

and I'm a little bit red still but in about half an hour my face will not be red anymore.

But you can see I'm cleanly shaven and now I'm going to get dressed.

I'm going to put clothes on.

So help me choose an outfit for today.

So this is my closet.

I don't think I'll wear anything from here

because these are all long sleeves and they are quite warm

and you can see this is a dress shirt these are

long pants this is a rain jacket this is a hoodie

and this is a zip up hoodie i will not be wearing anything from here

but my boxers and socks are in here so i'll grab a pair

and put those on

so for pants i think i'll wear these shorts these are shorts they are quite long

but they are still considered shorts so i'll wear these

and for my top i'll just wear this plain black t -shirt

and i'll also wear socks

but i need to get those out of the laundry since i did laundry yesterday

and i still haven't folded it so let me put this on now

so i have my outfit on now

and let me put on sunscreen lip chap and then i think we can head out.

Okay so this right here is my lip chap.

I just took the cap off my lip chap.

I'm gonna bring it out a bit more by turning this bottom and now I'm gonna put it on my lips.

Good.

Now I'm gonna put sunscreen on.

This is my sunscreen but before that I'm gonna put on some cologne just

a best seller at all of young i'm going to put

some on my middle finger my middle finger let me put it on my forehead nose cheeks,

chin, and let me dab it to make sure I spread it evenly across my whole face.

Now I'm going to rub it in.

I'm rubbing the sunscreen into my skin because I really don't want to burn.

And I have very sensitive skin.

You can see it made my skin red.

Now I'm going to put a little bit more on my finger, put it on my neck, just like this.

So you can see I've just put sunscreen on my whole face, blended in quite nicely and now I think I'm ready to go out.

But I'll have a drink of water first since I'm quite thirsty.

It's important to drink water in the morning.

It's about 9 a .m and we're going to head out at 10 a .m.

Leon right now is getting ready.

Let's go see him.

This is a fan and the fan is rotating.

This is a coffee table that is a couch or sofa.

Those are pillows but I have my laundry in here

so I'm going to take it out now

and go fold it before I head out so you can see my pile of clothes is on the bed now

and here we have my crossbody bag

and i'll be putting these things in my crossbody bag

but first i'm going to fold my laundry you can see

it's quite wrinkly since i did this laundry last night i dried it last night

but i did not fold it last night

and i'm only folding it now this right here is a long sleeve t -shirt

but right now it is inside out there we go now it is right side out

but this is a long sleeve shirt you can see it the sleeves are long

and i'm folding it this right here is a bandana a

bandana i do like wearing bandanas now someone recently showed me how to tie them properly

so now i like wearing them this right here is a

button -up shirt it's nothing fancy it's just a casual cotton

button -up shirt now i'm gonna fold this shirt usually you would hang it up

but I just fold it since I don't have a lot of hangers this is a pair of my shorts

this is my gym t -shirt I wear this in the gym

and the last few items are just some more t -shirts

and also some socks but I think now I'm going to pack my crossbody bag

and it also has SPF protection

so it protects my lips from the sun this is my wallet these are my microphones

and these are my earbuds and i'll put all of

that in my crossbody bag

100

going we're gonna go on the water bus water bus yeah it's one of the unique forms of transportation here in

101

saigon anyway yeah we're gonna go to the water bus there is one close to us

102

so we're gonna go there

103

and get a ticket the timing for the buses is every hour

104

but it's not exactly like nine or ten it's uh kind of iffy

105

so we're just gonna get a ticket i know there's a coffee shop right across the street

106

and there's also the a big market across the street

107

that we can go look at so we're gonna head

108

that way and first get our ticket yeah

109

110

or ferry and uh yeah it'll be the old style vlog

111

so hopefully you guys enjoy it i'll be holding the camera

112

talking about everything pointing to things leon right now is taking the trash bag out of the trash can

113

and he's gonna tie it up because when we go down we're gonna throw

114

that out and also that brown paper bag

115

so you can see he has a trash in his hand now there are new trash bags up there

116

so now he's going to replace the trash bag in this

117

trash bin the trash bag is black it's also not very big it is kind of small

118

so you can see that trash is full

119

but yeah i think these are biodegradable too they feel like

120

that yeah they do feel a little flimsy i'm gonna put

121

the lid back on this helps keep the odor inside the trash bin

122

so now we're ready we're gonna go out our door

123

but first we're gonna put our shoes on this right here is our shoe closet

124

so you can see we have all our shoes here i

125

didn't even notice leon was trying to put on my shoes

126

but he's putting on his uh shoes running shoes

127

and then we'll head out

128

and here is our water you can see this is my water that's leon's water

129

and i drink more water than him

130

but he also does drink the water from the fridge

131

which i don't drink as much yeah but let's head out now do some exploring and we'll see you guys outside.

132

3000 that is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95 % of spoken English.

133

That is why I made the 3000 most common English words textbook with clear definitions,

134

real example sentences and simple organization by topic and CEFR level so you know exactly what to study next.

135

And now if you want to learn even more I've added the next 2 ,000 most common English words,

136

so you can get the full 5 ,000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98 % of spoken English.

137

139

Okay, so Leon's getting on his bike now.

140

so now we're heading to the ferry on the back of the grab bike

141

and we're going through these alleyways okay guys

142

so i just got off the grab bike

143

and now we're at the ferry area leon beat me here

144

you got here first eh yeah this is where we buy our tickets right right there right here

145

that is loud that thing is loud anyway we're in the sun right now

146

so let's go into the shade and buy these tickets at the ticket booth

147

so this is the route we're uh we're gonna take we're right here

148

and i think we should go up and then go all the way down

149

so the tickets are 15 000 for one way

150

so no matter where you start one direction is 15 000 the other direction

151

so i guess we have to get off at the end

152

right yeah we get off there we buy tickets to go the other way

153

and then these are the times this right here is the

154

timetable you see departure timetable gives you the schedule for all the departures okay guys

155

so we just bought our tickets unfortunately we can't go today

156

because there's no more tickets for the next one and

157

if we wait it'll be a really long wait like three hours

158

so we're gonna go tomorrow morning at 9 a .m you can see 8 57

159

and then we'll come back at 9 45

160

but these are our tickets we have purchased our tickets for tomorrow morning

161

so right now it's a little windy you can see the wind is blowing my hair back

162

but we're gonna go do some other stuff i think Low -key, low -key, let's go get that Korean food, which one we had the other day But we got the soy sauce one

163

and we're gonna go get Korean food We have to change

164

plants today stuff didn't work out change of plants change of

165

scenery change of everything We still have a plan food when in doubt food, but anyways right now we are standing in the shade here

166

next to the river I'm not sure what this river is called the Saigon River Saigon River.

167

No, let me fact check that Actually, it is the Saigon River Song Saigon in Vietnamese Song Saigon This is where we're at.

168

Honestly, it's a really nice view.

169

So let's have a shadowing segment right here.

170

I am standing by a wide river in a busy city, looking across the water at tall buildings under a bright, cloudy sky.

171

The river moves slowly in front of me, and small green plants float on the surface.

172

A shiny metal railing is close to me, and beyond it, a yellow floating platform sits quietly on the water.

173

On the left, a bridge crosses the river, carrying people and traffic through the city.

174

In the distance, a very tall glass tower rises above the other buildings.

175

It looks modern, strong, and impressive.

176

The buildings around it are close together, showing that this is a lively and growing city.

177

The sky is full of big white and grey clouds, but there is still sunlight in the scene.

178

The light reflects softly on the water

179

and on the metal railing everything feels calm near the river

180

while the city across feels active

181

and full of energy wow the view is beautiful i can

182

imagine standing here for a few minutes breathing slowly watching the river

183

and listening to the sounds of the city it is a

184

peaceful place to look at a busy skyline i know you guys really like those shadowing segments

185

so i'm going to try to include two in every video

186

we'll include one at the very end of the video that's how we'll end the video off

187

so make sure you watch till the end of the video

188

but for now i think let's walk around

189

or sorry walk along the river here and just really enjoy today

190

because it has been raining a bit lately since i believe it is entering rainy season

191

so it's been raining more than usual right yeah well i guess probably normal for rainy season

192

but yeah yeah so i probably wrong to say more than usual

193

because it's probably normal i've just never been in this city during rainy season so for me it feels more than usual.

194

Across from me, you can see they are constructing something there.

195

I think it's some sort of building.

196

It's probably not like anything residential.

197

It's most likely something for like the community and for the public since it's on the river.

198

But yeah, you can see this river stretches far, far, far and wide, far and wide.

199

And there are a lot of plants floating on the river too.

200

And it is a really calm river.

201

I feel like I could jump in there and I'll be completely fine

202

but there might be like river monsters oh question for you guys have you guys ever watched

203

that show river monsters jeremy wade river monsters i actually love

204

that show loki play that let's go watch that there's something here

205

which looks like a rock no but in all seriousness

206

that is actually a really good show if you guys need like

207

or want like interesting native english content to watch river monsters

208

by jeremy wade is a recommendation for me that's really good also anthony bourdain That's really good.

209

I put Leon on that he never knew about that

210

and I put him on That just means you showed someone something or you introduced something to someone.

211

So I put Leon on Yeah, so right now we're at Cao Dien Market You can see people are selling a lot of different products.

212

Loki, we should check the price of - Actually, I could use some scissors Do we have scissors?

213

I have little ones, but I need sharp ones.

214

Oh, here they have masks Dude, this really reminds me of markets in South America.

215

Very similar.

216

Yeah, dude they sell a lot of masks here i guess

217

it's more for the sun than it is for well it's like pollution too like

218

if you're like riding your scooter down you don't want all that exhaust smoke in your face, right?

219

Exactly.

220

You want to block that off.

221

Exactly.

222

You're right.

223

This guy is beating meat to make it more tender.

224

Meat market, vegetables here.

225

I like the vibe of this market.

226

These are butchers right here.

227

I believe that's beef and I believe this is pork since it's lighter.

228

The color of this meat is lighter.

229

This looks like the seafood area.

230

So you have squid, octopus, fish bro.

231

Look at that one.

232

That looks like a river moxie.

233

That looks like a on it that looks like a sturgeon yeah isn't

234

that illegal to catch no i thought they were

235

they're going uh extinct

236

because people get them in there too i wonder where they're

237

getting salmon from yeah probably everywhere let's go out of the

238

market now that's actually really cool it really reminds me of

239

markets in south america they got a lot of fruit out

240

here too yeah loki i need to buy some bananas maybe i'll go buy some of those okay

241

so we have bananas here yeah i think i'm gonna buy

242

these ones these look kind of good oh yes I'm gonna

243

buy some bananas probably 30k worth I'll just ask for however much 30k worth of bananas is

244

but they have different kinds of bananas they have different sizes

245

and different varieties of bananas but I'll get these ones okay

246

so I just bought 40 ,000 Vietnamese dong worth of bananas

247

or two Canadian dollars Leon said

248

that this drink is really good what is it it's like juice

249

and then they put a bunch of different toppings inside of it oh no dude nah i don't like

250

that type of stuff i would like a banana smoothie though

251

they make banana smoothies there do they nope i would have

252

bought one immediately there's a big mirror here this mirror is

253

used to see the traffic coming from the other side

254

but it's warped you can see it's warped here and here

255

but now we're going to the family mart this is a huge family mart

256

because we are we are one big family mart

257

and it looks like they're delivering some products to the family mart now i'm in the drinks section

258

and i think i'm gonna get a coke zero

259

but i'm not sure i'm wondering and contemplating whether i should get

260

that or something else

261

because there are a lot of flavors seven up this is such a nostalgic drink for me

262

because i used to drink this a lot

263

when i was growing up in canada it was very very popular sprite not as much

264

but seven up yes what is something you loved drinking

265

when you were younger let me know in the comments okay guys we have just left the family mart

266

and now we're going to head over to the korean restaurant to have lunch okay

267

so leon is now going to pour himself a glass of water with

268

that plastic jug normally your elders for for you i mean your juniors pour for the elders

269

so i would have to pour for

270

that okay i just spilled my glass of water

271

but yeah we just ordered our food and they brought our side dishes here

272

and yeah they'll bring our food and put it on here to cook for us

273

but yeah we are in the restaurant now

274

and we are the only people in here okay

275

so we just got our food

276

that looks super good man it's starting to bubble right now yeah

277

and they said we have to wait five minutes for it to be fully cooked yeah

278

but you could eat the toboki and the noodles yeah

279

so now we're ready to eat this is just a big

280

wooden spoon meant to stir this chicken toboki noodles this is a big cast iron pan you ready to eat

281

282

283

are my chopsticks this is a glass my glass is half full

284

and here we have some sides and that right there is egg try some chicken

after a big meal the table looks messy

291

but happy a large round pan sits in the middle almost empty with red sauce

292

and spices left on the bottom a wooden spoon rests inside the pan

293

and it looks like everyone has eaten well around the pan there are small side dishes with kimchi corn sauces

294

and fresh green leaves someone is sitting behind the table with

295

their hands near their face looking relaxed after eating the restaurant feels warm

296

and busy with people sitting close together

297

and dark wooden walls around the room there are cups a water bottle chopsticks

298

and plates on the table showing that this was a shared meal with friends

299

or family the food must have been hot rich and flavorful.

300

Maybe it was spicy because the sauce is deep red.

301

there are many little marks of seasoning in the pan the fresh lettuce

302

and leaves on the side would make each bite taste lighter

303

and cooler even though the meal is finished the table still tells a story of good food conversation

¿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.
