Welcome back to a new video guys.
2
Today we're going to be learning English using comprehensible input here in Gyeongbokung Palace.
3
Directly to the freezing cold I hear.
4
So I'll probably just get an architecture and sunny though.
5
History of Christmas and guards are here.
6
Quartyards, thrown around you, tranquil, acting as dynasty richer.
7
Start the word count and let's go.
8
Yeah, so it expired on the 20th so I'm gonna reload it for seven days.
9
That's the last day we'll film because we leave the 28th.
10
Cash, firm.
11
You can pay on credit card here.
12
Yeah.
13
So this is my bill.
14
You see it's asking for bills or coins.
15
So put one bill in.
16
One, two.
17
My hands have like no grip.
18
My hands are super dry.
19
But now we're charging up the card here because we're gonna be going to the palace right away.
20
Gyeongbokung Palace.
21
Is she received?
22
No, that's right.
23
No, that's correct.
24
That's the main palace, right?
25
Yeah.
26
Okay, now let's go through the gates here.
27
We have to go down towards City Hall.
28
So we're gonna go down here into the subway station.
29
We're gonna go to the left and get on the train.
30
Hopefully it's not too long.
31
We'll have to do a transfer to the Purple Line, but then we can, that'll bring us directly to the, this big open square.
32
And I think we'll stop at a convenience store when we get there to get some food.
33
Yeah, I gotta let a snack.
34
Okay, so now we're transferring to the Purple Line, Line 5.
35
Honestly, I think we have these passes that let you go on unlimited rides, but yours beeped when you went in.
36
I think it's because you tapped, but you went too quick or it tapped and it didn't register.
37
So when you try to go out- Well, it showed the date.
38
Oh, okay.
39
No, you're fine.
40
Yeah, so I think I was fine.
41
I guess you went too quick then.
42
Yeah. That wasn't me.
43
And then it beeped because usually it'll close on you.
44
If you like go, it'll like close, but yours didn't close.
45
It just beeps.
46
So I don't know.
47
I don't think it was mine.
48
I think it was the one next to me.
49
Okay.
50
Yeah.
51
Because I saw an ex like beeping, but I guess, yeah, it might have been the one next to you.
52
Yeah.
53
We've been down here before when we came because we try to come on Tuesday, I believe, last time.
54
But the palace is closed on Tuesdays.
55
And it was freezing cold that day, but I don't know.
56
It wasn't colder than today.
57
Yeah, I think today's colder, but now we're like more used to it.
58
Because that was like the first thing we did, or like the second thing.
59
But I don't know if you could tell, but I'm like, I am like layered.
60
I don't think that's the clothes, dog.
61
I have six layers on.
62
One, two, three, four, five, six.
63
And then on my pants, I have two layers.
64
And I also have two pairs of socks on.
65
But up top here, I have six layers.
66
So I'm like, I feel like I can't really move that well.
67
And I also feel like super chunky.
68
Like my movement is really restricted.
69
Yeah, I don't think there's a clothes, dog.
70
No, it is the clothes.
71
What else would it be?
72
Oh, you want to get like a snack?
73
Yeah, does 7-Eleven have better stuff?
74
No, but I feel like I should grab a...
75
We got to get one here or when we get off at the next station.
76
Yeah, I think when we get off.
77
I know there's a CU along the walkway.
78
I feel like I need to eat at least a kimbap or something to have some energy.
79
So we'll stop at a convenience store once we get to the square right outside the palace.
80
I'll probably just get a kimbap.
81
Kimbap is enough, definitely for breakfast. But uh...
82
What about a coffee?
83
Coffee?
84
No, dude.
85
Coffee gives me headaches.
86
What about a Red Bull then?
87
Red Bull is good, but maybe not first thing in the morning.
88
But definitely coffee.
89
But it's like noon now.
90
That's true, so maybe lunch.
91
Dude, this is a deep...
92
We have to go down again?
93
I just wanted to like say I don't know
94
if you guys have heard of like the back rooms
95
but this is kind of like what the back rooms looks like
96
and this is giving like back room vibes but our train is here so we'll see you guys when we get off.
97
3,000 that is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95% of spoken English
98
but if you want to keep improving after that I've now added the next 2,000 most common English words.
99
So you can build the full 5,000 word set and understand up to 98% of spoken English.
100
So now you can start with the 3,000 word PDF, continue with the next 2,000 word PDF,
101
or get both together as the full 5,000 most common English words PDF
102
that will allow you to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
103
And in these new versions, there are now images as well to help you learn even faster.
104
Each PDF includes clear definitions,
105
real examples, and simple organization to help you stop studying random words and focus on the vocabulary that actually matters.
106
You can get them from the link in the description or at VolkaEnglish.com Alright, so we just got out of the subway and I can see the palace is open today.
107
So that is a good sign.
108
I can see people going in through the gates.
109
So we're gonna go in and show you guys the whole palace.
110
And also behind the palace, there's the blue house, but the main thing is the palace.
111
It's so beautiful and the architecture and everything, the colors, I'm gonna show you guys all of it.
112
If you're Korean, I mean, you've obviously been here before, but if not, I know you guys are gonna enjoy this, so let's go.
113
Palace is behind me.
114
I believe it's pronounced Gyeongbokgung Palace, although I'm not a professional, but we're about to explore this whole thing.
115
It's pretty cheap to get in there.
116
It's like 1,000 or 2,000 won, I think, depending on if you're a foreigner or not.
117
Also, if you wear a hanbok, like the traditional Korean clothing, it's free to get it.
118
But we're not going to wear that today because it's actually freezing.
119
Like, last time we were here, I just wore, like, a jacket and I was warm enough, but now it's, like, freezing cold.
120
I think it's, like, minus two right now.
121
Yeah, at least it's sunny, though.
122
That's why I got six layers on.
123
So if I look a little chunky, it's the layers. Is it?
124
It's the layers.
125
I swear, bro.
126
That's what they all say.
127
That's what I used to say.
128
But that's a nice gate.
129
The first time I ever saw this, it was like, wow.
130
It's breathtaking.
131
And especially the palaces, once you get in there, it's amazing.
132
And there's like walls, like the Seoul wall is like really big, but inside it is this palace.
133
I learned a little bit of the history of Korea.
134
I took a East Asian history class in university, but I kind of like forget.
135
I kind of forget most of what I learned, but let's go check this out.
136
I don't think that many foreigners come at this time.
137
I don't know, Christmas.
138
Maybe they want to spend Christmas in Korea.
139
Maybe that's like their Christmas gift or Christmas present.
140
Come to Korea.
141
Why wouldn't they go somewhere warm though?
142
Well, maybe they love K-drama and K-pop Don't you love K-dramas?
143
I only watch Squid Games.
144
Is that your favorite K-dramas then?
145
I guess you could say so.
146
Hello Thank you.
147
The people in red are like tourist
148
Information live so they'll just like oh the guards are here
149
So they'll give you like information and stuff if you need
150
if you have any questions But the guards are here
151
and the changing of the guards is at 2 p.m
152
and about like two hours So we can line up to get a photo.
153
You want to get in there?
154
No, I do not line up I can get a photo from right here.
155
That looks just as good.
156
Personally.
157
I don't like lining up for photos So I'll just take one here So yeah, the guards behind me the changing of the guards will be at 2 p.m
158
That we'll come see but it's pretty cool like what they traditionally wear Yeah, and obviously you could line up and take a photo but
159
but we just got a few those beards look real to you or no Yeah, like actually no, they all look really perfect and they all look the same.
160
I'm not sure.
161
Yeah, let's continue Oh, this guy's getting blocked by the flag.
162
No drones.
163
That would be cool to fly a drone here, but...
164
Yeah, but it's too close to the blue house, which is why.
165
Just look at this.
166
What do you think of that?
167
Give me your reaction that you had the first time you came here.
168
That's crazy.
169
Every time I see this, it's like, it is super, super beautiful.
170
Yeah.
171
That I have to take a video on my phone.
172
So here it says visitors wearing hanbok, which is like people around here.
173
They don't need to pay but we don't have one on
174
so we have to pay so yeah This is the ticketing booth where they sell the tickets.
175
Yeah, it's 3,000 won Which is this much in USD 3,000 won for per person comes in the other.
176
Thank you Okay, we got our tickets two people.
177
I guess this is for two.
178
Oh, yeah says two So this is our ticket for two people
179
6,000 won total 3,000 each and this is our receipt
180
and we go in through there at one time I was coming in
181
and I didn't know we had to buy tickets here and I just went straight there and they're like No, you got to go buy tickets here
182
So now I know you have to first go here buy your tickets
183
and then you could go in or if you have a handbook like these people right here
184
If you have a handbook you can just walk right in
185
but yeah now we can go in and see the palace right now We're in the square.
186
This is a palace square or a courtyard.
187
Probably a courtyard is a better term for this No, I think it's a square because the courtyard is like inside a home usually a palace is a home But yeah, I guess this would be a square but once we get inside there,
188
that's the courtyard
189
So right now we're in one of the courtyards a courtyard
190
is just like an open area like this Surrounded by walls and stuff or gates, but we're in the courtyard right now and there are many courtyards
191
So the more you go in the more courtyards you'll enter.
192
So let's go up this staircase These are like huge
193
Huge doors in this gate and there are like
194
so many people here that I'm pretty sure like freezing right now But they're not really wearing like a lot.
195
So I feel like a lot of these people are quite cold
196
But I think this is the main palace and throne room right ahead of me.
197
So this is the main Throne room right here the throne room of the king I think hopefully it says up there, but I'm not sure which dynasty built this
198
and ruled this Maybe it was multiple dynasties one dynasty built it
199
and then when they were overthrown another dynasty just took it over
200
But dynasty is just like a ruling family that rules for many generations
201
But this is the main the main room so everything I believe surrounds this.
202
There's a surprising amount of people dressed up.
203
Yeah in here too.
204
I guess it is sunny today You think they chain people onto this?
205
Chain a slave on there.
206
Do you know that Korea had the longest Unbroken chain of slavery in the world?
207
Yeah, I never knew that but I saw this like clip from a pretty sure probably the same podcast You saw yeah, but uh There was like this Korean person and like American guy
208
and they were just talking and then the Korean guy was like Like, Korea never had slaves, never.
209
And then the American guy was like, hmm, I'm sure, like, every culture has had slaves.
210
So then they searched it, and Korea was like, it was so funny, Korea had like, well, slavery's not funny, but just the way it was presented,
211
it was, Korea had the longest chain of unbroken slavery in the history of the world.
212
It was like, wow.
213
And honestly, the amount Koreans work, especially office workers, like, Yeah.
214
It feels like it's still going, because they work so hard.
215
Yeah, it's not a good thing, working that much.
216
You have to enjoy life.
217
But I mean, that's why they're so like, such an advanced country and it's like safe.
218
Public transportation's amazing.
219
And it's like a good place to live.
220
Like safety is the most important.
221
Well, let's go up to the side here and see this throne room.
222
What's that guy with that stick doing there?
223
That's a tour guide, a tour guide, or you could just say a guide.
224
And he's kind of like has the stick so people can see him.
225
And then maybe he lets them walk around a bit.
226
And then when he has the stick up, everyone goes to meet him.
227
And then he gives more facts about this place.
228
Do you like exploring places with tour guides or by yourself instead?
229
I like tour guides because they give you a lot of information and stuff.
230
A lot of cool information, cool facts.
231
But it's also nice to just explore on your own, just to see stuff.
232
Because sometimes just enjoying the architecture is enough.
233
This is the throne room.
234
You can see the king's throne there.
235
His subordinates and stuff sit on the side here.
236
I recognize this place from all the manhosei read.
237
It should have like a kind of like having a reenactment scene where they put like mannequins or like waxed mannequins.
238
Well, I mean, they already have guards in the front, so they could use real people in here too.
239
Yeah.
240
Does a real person want to sit there though?
241
I guess it's a job, but I feel like that's probably blasphemy to like pretend to be the king.
242
Yeah, I could see that.
243
So this is another building, but right behind this is the lake or the pond.
244
right behind this is the pond which is probably my second favorite spot here besides
245
that uh courtyard this building is pretty nice i'm not really sure what this was used as yeah
246
but they've all got the same like style yeah same colors
247
this one it's like a pavilion oh this is more like
248
a like a moat yeah like it's it's like definitely man-made
249
or at least they sculpted it yeah this pond yeah that's got to be the plum blossom pavilion
250
so this is humgiongak pavilion so this is a pavilion i'm not going to say
251
that name again but a pavilion surrounded by this nice pond
252
and a wall on this side i think there was probably a wall along here too
253
because there's a wall along there and over there maybe they removed it
254
or maybe it fell down but there are walls everywhere so
255
if they were invaded i guess they were constantly protected by a new set of walls which I mean obviously is good.
256
Well, this is definitely new.
257
This one?
258
Metal barricade.
259
Are you sure?
260
Looks to be about 50 years old.
261
Some adjectives to describe this.
262
Calm, clear, serene, symmetrical.
263
Tranquil.
264
Tranquil, peaceful.
265
What about beautiful?
266
Beautiful and traditional.
267
Those are just some of the many, many, many adjectives you can use to describe this pond and the pavilion.
268
But I would just describe it as majestically beautiful.
269
What about historically famous?
270
Traditionally, historically, serenically famous.
271
Let's continue.
272
This, this is wow.
273
Dude, does this not look like a scene from a movie, dude?
274
This is like picturesque, dude.
275
Wow.
276
Like the walls on each side making it narrow.
277
The people in the hanboks, the traditional building.
278
That is, this is like one of my favorite areas now.
279
It's cool.
280
All right, you guys, I will be your cameraman for a little bit as we explore the inner courtyards
281
and the small little houses, temples, pavilions inside the palace.
282
Look at these.
283
Honestly, I think it would be pretty cool if they had like, if they hired like a bunch of people to work here but those people were wearing all the historic,
284
because I know they have the guards at the front, but if they had people walking around here, maybe a king, the queen, a bunch of guards, the royal family,
285
maybe other ministers, if they were walking all along here, like acting historically, that would be really cool, in my opinion.
286
This right here is a hall, and of course we're in a courtyard again.
287
Yeah, it's really nice.
288
This is is more like compact cozy area
289
and the hall is right here i assume people live here too don't just watch this lesson
290
and forget it get the workbook for this video on my website
291
and practice everything from the lesson more deeply inside you'll review the grammar vocabulary tenses sentence patterns comprehension questions
292
and real English from this video with clear explanations and exercises.
293

296
What is the longest dynasty in the world and what country were they and for how many years?
297
Oh, never mind.
298
The longest one would be in Japan.
299
There was only one dynasty ever in Japan, so that's actually the longest reigning dynasty.
300
So the longest reigning dynasty is widely considered the Imperial House of Japan,
301
Yamato Dynasty, the world's oldest continuous hereditary monarchy with legendary origins dating back over 2,600 years.
302
Oh, wow.
303
And they're still going, right?
304
I believe it is.
305
I was mistaken.
306
The longest one is clearly Japan, and they only ever had one dynasty.
307
What is the longest reigning dynasty in Korea?
308
Okay, so it was the Joseon.
309
So the Joseon dynasty was Korea's longest reigning dynasty, lasting for approximately 505 years, from 1392 to 1897.
310
So it was the last dynasty.
311
I didn't know that about Japan, though.
312
That's pretty crazy.
313
Yeah, I learned this stuff, but I learned it like two years ago.
314
So my memory is kind of like foggy.
315
I can't really remember, but after reading that, I do remember that that was true.
316
And I remember when I learned that for the first time, Like one continuous family reigning over 2600 years.
317
I don't know because usually the people with ideas and like drive to become richer or famous are people that had nothing.
318
And people that had everything, they don't really like have that same desire.
319
They don't have that dog in them.
320
Yeah.
321
Let's go to a convenience store and get some food before the changing of the guards.
322
We have about 40 minutes.
323
This right here is an archway.
324
Unfortunately, we can't go in but the 7-Eleven is right there.
325
So we're gonna go get some food, probably a kimbap or something.
326
I don't think they have chairs inside.
327
I guess we gotta sit outside.
328
That's fine.
329
It's not that cold.
330
Looks pretty small, yeah.
331
Let's go get a snack.
332
Okay, so I'm gonna get two kimbaps.
333
I don't know the flavor.
334
And then tuna mayo rice, just in case.
335
But kimbaps are like literally the best quick snack to get.
336
Also, you can get like a sausage or eggs.
337
But me personally, when in Rome, if you really want, you can get the Hello Kitty strawberry sandwich.
338
You think if I got this chicken sandwich, they warmed it up for me?
339
Yeah, you warm it up in the microwave.
340
Oh.
341
Yeah.
342
Are they good?
343
Or is it going to be like soggy?
344
Like it's definitely not going to be crispy.
345
Yeah, it's not going to be crispy.
346
I can almost guarantee you that.
347
Should I eat one or two?
348
Because I know two is going to really fill me up.
349
What time do you think we're going to eat?
350
Can I eat later?
351
Because this is probably lunch and we'll just have dinner.
352
Yeah.
353
I'll just have one.
354
I'll have this spicy one.
355
I just got one and then just a bottle of water.
356
Because we're probably going to eat in like a couple hours.
357
At five hours.
358
So if I eat too much, then I'll be too full.
359
Just went with the tuna mayo one.
360
It's the best.
361
Fire. As usual.
362
Triple stack 7-Eleven microwave burger.
363
Oh, and it's even got pickles.
364
All right, take a bite in this to see how good it is.
365
That's good.
366
It tastes...
367
Oh, it's a little spicy.
368
It tastes like the McDonald's Quarter Pounder.
369
Really?
370
Yeah.
371
But look at this view we have.
372
This is probably one of the nicest 7-Eleven views I've had.
373
Oh!
374
That was a cool training of the guard.
375
It was longer than I thought.
376
It was like 15 minutes.
377
20 minutes, yeah.
378
Yeah, 15 minutes.
379
That was the big drum that they were hitting.
380
That one sounded cool.
381
It like shook your whole body, eh?
382
Yeah, I felt it in my bones.
383
Yeah, that one was cool.
384
Yo, what are you working on?
385

¿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.
