5
I'm sorry.
6
You got to be careful when shooting on this bridge
7
because bikers in New York get super salty when you get in their way.

just stopped at one of my favorite cafes here in Williamsburg.
10
It's called Canary.
11
It's super cute.
12
It has a lot of good food options, coffee options, all that good stuff yeah

I just bought three tickets and it was $13.50 total.
21
So it's like $4 per person.
22
I got a question for you.

when i land in a new country the first thing i
28
do is check where my hotel is at grab an uber

or text my friend who might be living there
30
or picking me up you need wi-fi for basically everything these days

and how many gigabytes you need and then you install the eSIM.
36
The whole process only takes a few minutes.
37
It couldn't be easier.
38

53
So we're at Washington Square Park right now.

The most recognizable feature of this park is the arch.
55

We're by Grand Central Station so it's going to be busy, but as we keep walking further towards Times Square,
72
that way it's going to get busier and busier and then it will culminate in Rockefeller Center with the Christmas tree.

New York is never busier than in the winter.

The total for that ride was $62 including a 15% tip.
91
So we only went for six minutes and then it cost $62.
92
So it's definitely expensive.
93
I would be careful too, because they're going to try to keep riding as long as possible, because it's charged by the minute.
94
But if you know how much it costs, it could be a fun way to get around the city.
95
We have now entered Times Square.

back in my apartment now and that is going to be an end to our winter guide.
103
I hope you guys learned a couple things from this video or got some inspiration for

It's super cold outside right now.

¿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.
