Welcome to the Comprehensible Input vlog.

Today I'm in Ho Chi Minh City, specifically District 2, and I've got some errands to run.

I'm going to bring you guys along

and I'm going to show you some key words in English and explain them as I go to my next destination, which is the mall.

So on this road I'm on, there is a lot of construction happening right now.

It's Friday I'm on the sidewalk now and here we have a bus stop.

So it looks like there's some sort of

power on this bus stop maybe to give you light

or maybe there's some sort of air conditioning there that would be crazy.

But it is quite busy today a lot of cars and bikes on the road

and actually over there it says animal doctor that is a vet office so that is a place where sick animals,

your cats, your dogs, your bunny, or many different types of animals.

If they're sick, they're injured, or you want to get them checked out, you bring them to the vet or veterinarian or animal doctor,

and they will take care of your animal.

While I'm walking to the mall, I'm also on the lookout for some place to eat lunch.

It is just after 12 right now, and I'm a little bit hungry want to eat something as well i just squeezed through

that lidded gap there these are concrete structures

that i'm guessing are going to be used for the construction that is going on on this road

but for now they're on the sidewalk taking up a lot of space

but that's okay

because i'm sure the construction will be over quick anyway it got surprisingly quiet i'm about to turn the bend

going down towards the mall it's about a 15 20 minute walk

but today is not very hot

so it's actually kind of enjoyable to be walking out

and getting some fresh air the district i'm in district two is a really nice

and livable area there's a lot of greenery you can see here a lot of plants

and there's also a very large expat community that means there's a lot of foreigners that live

in this neighborhood here we have a very large school

so it's called the british international school i've heard a lot about this school

and it's for grade school so it's not a university it's for younger kids

and it is a private school

so it's one of the best schools in ho chi minh city

and it is very popular i don't know

if you can see it on camera but because of all this construction and

dirt that they put on the ground there's a lot of dust in the air very dusty along this road

and you can see it's getting all over the tables

and chairs and trees that are along this side of the road

so it's a lot of work to keep it clean see

some more dust there it's a lot of work to keep it clean

and keep your business looking nice if it's along this side of the road here you can

There's some concrete and then they are redoing the road right over there

so you can see the dirt and some of the bricks have been laid out.

I have to walk pretty much on the road to be able to continue down this path.

You can see they're putting the curb in actually

so this side is finished and this side just has the mold to pour the concrete.

So once it's all done they'll take out these wooden pieces and just the concrete curb will be left.

the worst of it this section right here it looks like over there it gets a lot cleaner

and there's no construction so hopefully it's not as dusty

because i am breathing in a lot of dust right now

okay i'm back on a nice sidewalk now well nice enough there are parts that are missing

north east west direction you can go pretty directly to the water but there are also a lot of

gated communities like this you can't go in there unless you have special permission

there's a lot of wealthy gated communities here especially along the river

that are blocked off the regular people like me but sometimes there are businesses inside of those gated communities

So I went to a capybara cafe in one of these gated communities and it was really cool.

You can check out my short form video on that on my account but I really liked it.

In this neighborhood there are also a lot of small stores, independent stores.

They call boutique stores.

So they have boutique clothing stores, boutique restaurants, boutique cafes.

like mcdonald's or starbucks it's a small business also i've actually eaten at

that restaurant it's called eddie's and it's an american style diner

and it's funny that i'm talking about them now

because tomorrow is fourth of july so eddie's

and a bunch of different american restaurants are going to be

having fourth of july celebrations i'm probably going to be going to a fourth of july fun.

It's kind of like a barbecue festival like you would see in the USA

but it is in Vietnam so I want to see how they do it differently.

Fourth of July is also known as an Independence Day.

So just like Canada has July 1st Canada Day, Fourth of July is an Independence Day.

And let me know guys, let me know in the comment when is your country's Independence Day if it has one.

Some countries

lot of countries that were colonized have an independence day here's an interesting building

the german dental clinic it is a massive building

oh and i think it's also an international school

so it's just another example of the foreign influence in this district

so there's just so many foreigners expats that come and other foreigners that are living here as well.

Another big influence is Korea.

So that was a Korean market.

There's a lot of Koreans living in District 2 and I'm actually happy about that because I love Korean food.

They have some of the best cuisine in the world in my opinion and I could eat kbbq,

Korean fried chicken, kimchi any day of the week.

Okay I think I found where I'm either Burger King or Popeyes.

I'm gonna go check out their menus.

Okay so I've ordered my meal.

This is my receipt and they give me a cup to fill up my drink.

I also got some ketchup and I'm just gonna wait for them to bring it out to me.

So I ended up going with Burger King.

I feel like a good hamburger.

Well, good hamburger.

It's not the best.

But the price to quality ratio is a really good really good.

So I'm gonna enjoy it and I'm gonna make my way to the mall.

I'm not that far.

Maybe five minutes away.

Okay here we go.

I've got my meal.

This is my hamburger.

It's a cheese hamburger.

These are french fries.

100

They're nice and crispy and these are cheese sticks or mozzarella sticks.

101

finished eating lunch it was pretty good the cheese sticks could have been better

102

but the burger was good

103

and the fries were really good i always liked those big chunky fries unlike those thin little strips

104

that they give you at mcdonald's but anyway that building was two stories

105

so there was a staircase to get up and down

106

and going down i realized how sore i am from yesterday so yesterday It was really fun,

107

but I sweat a lot and exercise really hard.

108

So my legs are sore, my feet are sore, and that staircase really reminded me how sore I am.

109

So hopefully with more consistent pickable practice, I'll be a lot less sore.

110

the one metro line and this is the main road a lot of traffic multiple lanes

111

that means i'm close to the mall

112

so this is the mall it's a very large rectangular building and they actually display

113

the stores outside so they have the caffalon muji and a few other stores i'm actually going to muji

114

second or third floor and I need to go buy a couple things from Muji.

115

Okay we are inside now.

116

It's a huge mall.

117

You can see Muji is all the way at the end over there.

118

So I'm gonna walk that way.

119

And I was right, it's on the second floor.

120

I'll make my way over there.

121

Okay I'm in Muji now.

122

I'm gonna get a small basket to put my stuff in.

123

So the first thing I need is toothpaste.

124

I really like this Muji toothpaste.

125

So this is the third bottle I bought and I'm going to continue to keep buying them.

126

Next is the shampoo.

127

So here's the shampoo.

128

This is the bottle I have already but since I already have the bottle I only need a refill.

129

So I'm going to buy the refill instead.

130

It's a little bit I could just refill the bottle I already have.

131

Okay so I bought my stuff.

132

I only ended up buying the shampoo and the toothpaste because I could not find the shaving gel.

133

So I'm going to go to another store for that.

134

So the store I'm planning to go to is called the Wind Mart.

135

It's a grocery store but like most grocery stores it has a pharmacy area and they'll have some shaving cream.

136

And I'm going to look for that shaving cream.

137

I'm guessing it's going to be in this men's area.

138

Oh, here we go.

139

Gillette shaving cream.

140

So the thing with the Muji shaving cream was, it was not really cream.

141

It was like gel.

142

Shaving gel.

143

and it was really nice to use

144

but i couldn't find it i guess they must have discontinued it

145

so i'm gonna have to go back to using a shaving foam

146

but anyway i'm gonna see which one is for me

147

and then i'm gonna buy that one i'm gonna go with this one it says menthol

148

so i think it's gonna be a little

149

minty on the skin the other one was lime which i don't know how that's gonna work but i don't need

150

Now I also want an air freshener.

151

So I don't know which one I'm going to choose.

152

Maybe the Hello Kitty one for all the Hello Kitty fans.

153

But honestly probably one that is just discounted.

154

Because I don't really care what it smells like.

155

so I do not want to get rained on while walking back.

156

I don't have a rain jacket or an umbrella on me.

157

So I'm booking my GrabBike and I'm gonna wait for it here outside of the mall and then head back.

158

So it is close.

159

I don't know if to wait very long.

160

Okay, let's go ahead and unpack everything that I bought today at the mall.

161

We've got my Muji bag here.

162

This is what I got at the grocery store. and an air freshener.

163

And then at Muji got a refill of shampoo and some toothpaste.

164

So let's go put this all the way in the bathroom. So here's the bathroom.

165

You can see I was really low on shampoo.

166

So I'm going to refill that right now.

167

And then my shaving cream, I'm going to put behind the mirror. in the shelf.

168

Lastly my toothpaste.

169

I'm going to put behind my old toothpaste which is almost out.

170

There's only a little bit left in here.

171

So here's my old bottle.

172

It's exactly like what I showed you at the Muji store and then here is the refill.

173

So I'm going to just rip the tip off and try to carefully refill this Shampoo perfect.

174

Let's just wait like this until it's full I want to go slow

175

because I don't want to spill any shampoo buying the refill

176

is Maybe 30 % cheaper than buying a new bottle and you're saving a bottle.

177

You're not using a brand new plastic bottle with

178

all of this shampoo out but i want to be careful not to spill it

179

while i'm doing that so i'm going to squeeze this bag flat

180

and then put the last little bit in there almost spill a little bit

181

so i've got maybe 99 of the shampoo out of here

182

and in my next shower i'm just going to use this

183

and squeeze this out and use the last little bit yeah that was today's video i hope you enjoyed it

184

things in English for you along the way.

185

If you like videos like these put it down in the comments.

186

This was a little part of district 2.

187

District 2 is my district so I want to show more of it.

188

If you have any recommendations of places I should go to in Ho Chi Minh City put that down in the comments.

189

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
