13
Oh really?
14
And it's cơm tấm or you can say steamed broken rice.
15

36
Okay, so Mr. Frank, do you often eat gong tam?
37
Well, actually, it's my first time.
38
How about you?
39
Yeah, I eat Kông Tâm very often.
40
I mean, I'm a big fan of Kông Tâm.
41
And Kông Tâm is a traditional dish of Vietnamese teachers.
42
I like it very much.
43
Alright.
44
So, can you tell me all the names of these things?
45
Well, egg, and rice, and coconut marinated ribs.
46
And what's this?
47
For the most attractive flavor, we have side dishes in here. And these are pickles.
48
Pickles are vegetables made from cucumber, papaya, in vinegar or salty water.
49
Oh, great.
50
Okay, and what about this?
51
This is the onion fat, which is made of scallions fried in oil.
52
Mmm, okay.
53
You forgot one thing, this is the fish horse.
54
It made the dish become more special.
55
Oh really?
56
You can try it.
57
Okay, let me try it like that.
58
It's a little bit weird.
59
But it's an indispensable part of this dish.
60
Okay.
61
So now you can pour over all the dish and try.
62
Should I pour over all the ingredients?
63
Mmm, okay.
64
Let me try this one.
65
Mmm.
66
How do you feel?
67
Well, at first when I tried it, it felt really strange, but now it looks very interesting.
68
I like it.
69
Okay.
70
Do you know what fish rolls will be mixed with chili, garlic, and therefore it has a good taste.
71
In Vietnam dishes are often served with sauces like fish sauce, soy sauce or squid sauce.
72
So in your country do people use sauce?
73
Yeah sometimes we use or add soy sauce to our dishes to make them more savory.
74
So how do you feel about this meal?
75
Well, just using very simple ingredients such as meat, egg and rice to create such a flavorful dish.
76
Well, Vietnamese food is very different from my country.
77
Oh, now I will take you out to enjoy a special drink of Vietnamese people.
78
So, let's go!
79
Oh, let's go.
80
Oh, this juice is so funny.
81
I've never experienced it before.
82
So that's why I told you that it's gonna be very special.
83
Okay.
84
Wow, man.
85
Or in English, you can say pennywort juice.
86
Mmm, pennywort juice.
87
Okay, so you can try it now.
88
Okay.
89
Tell me how to taste.
90
It's very sweet and a little bitter.
91
Okay, I like it.
92
It's completely different from the drinks that you have tried for in Amishap, right?
93
Yeah, sure.
94
It's my first time to try this kind of drink.
95
Mm-hmm.
96
Mm.
97
This is a very popular drink in Vietnam having missed people really like this screen during their hot day.
98
So Mr. Frank, I'm just wondering something.
99
You know, people out there are very busy.
100
They try very hard to make time to improve English.
101
But they truly want to make their English better.
102
So can you give me some tips or ways to immerse yourself in English every day?
103
Yeah, sure.
104
You should immerse yourself in English.
105
Like, what do you use the most in your daily life?
106
Absolutely, smartphone.
107
Yeah, sure.
108
So, change the language in your smartphone to English, right?
109
So that you could receive all the notifications in English, right?
110
Second, make up a schedule which suits you and spend around 30 minutes to 1 hour a day to practice your English.
111
Right?
112
It's very important.
113
Alright, so you can download some applications which will remind you to study English daily.
114
Right?
115
And actually if you are an office worker, so while taking the bus to work,
116
you can listen to podcasts instead of music.
117
Besides, during the lunch break, you can follow your favorite celebrities and listen to their stories.
118
And besides, you can follow some news channels such as BBC or VOA.
119
Yeah, they are my favorite channels.
120
Great.
121
Alright, and one more tip which sounds very easy but very essential.
122
Just find a foreign friend to study English with.
123
For instance, you can download such applications as HelloTalk to make friends and chat with foreigners.
124
And, by the way, in case you are not a big fan of applications,
125
you can also visit some cafes with hosts or English-speaking clubs such as Master's Top.
126
In this trick service, right?
127
Right.
128
Yeah, that's my favorite coffee shop as well.
129
Great.
130
But how do you feel?
131
I'm full now.
132
Oh, me too.
133
Do you want to take a stroll with me?
134
Yeah, why not?
135
But before that, thank you for spending time here with me, sharing with me many useful tips.
136
Thank you so much.
137
Yeah.
138
But before that just say bye to our audience and see you in the next episode.

Learn English Through a Saigon Food Adventure: Real-Life Conversation Practice
Imagine joining a lively food tour in Saigon, chatting with a local and a teacher while exploring traditional dishes like cơm tấm (steamed broken rice). That’s exactly the scenario in this fun video, where casual dialogue brings everyday English to life. From guessing the dish to describing side items like pickles, the conversation is packed with natural phrases you’d use in real interactions—perfect for building confidence in speaking.
Useful Chunks & Collocations to Master
- "Have you ever heard of that?": A common way to check if someone knows about something, great for starting discussions.
- "Set to appear 18 years ago": Describes how long a place has been around—natural for talking about businesses or landmarks.
- "Side dishes": The perfect term for extra foods served with a main course (like pickles with cơm tấm).
- "Marinated ribs": A delicious collocation for meat soaked in flavor—useful when describing food.
- "I’m a big fan of": Expresses strong liking for something, a must-know for sharing preferences.
Your Shadowing Challenge: Speak Like a Local
Ready to practice? Try the shadowing technique with the video—pause, repeat, and mimic the speakers’ tone and rhythm. Start with short lines like, “Here we go!” or “I wonder what Zin will choose for me.” Focus on matching their speed and intonation—this is how shadowspeaks works! For an extra boost, record yourself and compare it to the original. This method, often called shadow speech, helps you sound more natural in real conversations. Remember, learning English with YouTube isn’t just about watching—it’s about doing. So hit play, shadow along, and turn this food tour into your own speaking practice session!
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.
