Welcome back guys to another video.
2
This will be another slow English comprehensible input vlog in my home.
3
Today we'll be going to each and every room including my bedroom, balcony, washroom, living room, kitchen,
4
dining room, laundry room and more.
5
And we'll be learning phrases and vocabulary in each room.
6
On top of that, there will be two shadowing segments to practice your pronunciation and your accent.
7
There'll be one in the beginning of the video here and then one at the very end of the video.
8
So make sure you stick around until the end to really practice your pronunciation today.
9
And on top of that, you'll be learning new words.
10
There will also be a common mistakes section at the end
11
where I'll tell you some common mistakes people make with the words and phrases we learned today.
12
A little quicker but this leads to the hallway where you can go.
13
The balcony is a little dirty but it's good enough.
14
It's good enough.
15
I have a bunch of cables and this is just to end hygiene.
16
So it's an easy way to measure the dog food out.
17
This is also for privacy because there's nothing.
18
Rage space, an air conditioner, on to the next room and So without further ado, let's get started.
19
As you guys know, we've already talked about this in a previous video, so I'll go through it a little quicker.
20
But this is my front door, and this is the entrance to my apartment.
21
On the outside, you can see there are just more apartments.
22
I'm opening my door.
23
I'm closing my door.
24
and here you can say I'm locking my door.
25
When I close the door it locks automatically so I don't have to manually lock my door it does it automatically.
26
So this door does not lead to you know outside of
27
the building it just leads to the hallway where you can go to more rooms.
28
Over here we have our shoe rack.
29
This is a shoe rack and you can put shoes here mainly but we also have some bags as well.
30
Bags for what?
31
Those are shopping bags.
32
So if we ever go shopping, we bring some of those bags with us.
33
Now let's start in my bedroom.
34
You can also just say my room.
35
This right here is my balcony.
36
Did it rain today?
37
Yeah, you can see.
38
It was just raining.
39
My balcony is a little dirty.
40
So the reason the balcony is dirty
41
because they are demolishing the building across the So if you take a closer look there, you can see they are demolishing that building.
42
So all that dust has been coming to my balcony.
43
So my balcony is pretty dirty because of that.
44
So now some useful sentences.
45
I'm stepping onto my balcony.
46
I am getting fresh air.
47
This part of my balcony here is called the railing.
48
The railing.
49
And it keeps me from falling over.
50
But I'm going to close this because it's very hot outside
51
and all that hot air is going to come in my room and warm up my room.
52
And it's very hot here and that's not what I want.
53
The view from my balcony is very nice and I like coming here to relax or to watch the sunrise.
54
Because the sun rises from this side.
55
It does not set, unfortunately.
56
But the good thing is there is a lot of light in my room in the morning.
57
But that's also a bad thing because it's bright from like 6 a.m.
58
And I wake up at 8.
59
So I have to keep my curtains closed.
60
But these curtains are very thick.
61
So no light passes through them.
62
So it hasn't woken me up yet.
63
3,000.
64
That is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95% of spoken English.
65
But if you want to keep improving after that, I've now added the next 2,000 most common English words.
66
So you can build the full 5,000 word set and understand up to 98% of spoken English.
67
So now you can start with the 3,000 word PDF, continue with the next 2,000 word PDF,
68
or get both together as the full 5,000 most common English words PDF
69
that will allow you to understand up to 98% of spoken English.
70
And in these new versions, there are now images as well to help you learn even faster.
71
Each PDF includes clear definitions,
72
real examples, and simple organization to help you stop studying random words and focus on the vocabulary that actually matters.
73
You can get them from the link in the description or at VolcaEnglish.com.
74
I'm at home in my apartment.
75
I open the front door and walk inside.
76
I take off my shoes and put them on the shoe rack.
77
Then I lock the door behind me.
78
My apartment is quiet and comfortable.
79
I walk from room to room and look around.
80
There is a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.
81
This is where I sleep, eat, relax, and study.
82
At home, I use English every day.
83
I turn on the lights, open the curtains, and make my bed.
84
I brush my teeth, cook food, and do laundry.
85
These are simple words but they are very important
86
so right now i am inside my bedroom this is my bed this is my blanket
87
and these are my pillows
88
and you can see my bed is made it's not made perfectly
89
but it's good enough it's good enough this is my lamp
90
my lamp this is my nightstand this is just a rack where I hang my clothes.
91
This is a mirror.
92
These are drawers.
93
And I have some of my colognes and creams and sunscreen and lip chap or lip balm on this dresser.
94
This right here is my desk where I work.
95
This is a chair.
96
I am pulling out the chair.
97
I'm pushing the chair back in.
98
There are more drawers on the side here.
99
and over here these are my closets.
100
I have a whole wall of closets and on the inside you can just see I have some clothes.
101
Some clothes.
102
So I have a lot of closet space and a lot of storage space in my room.
103
Up there that is a light.
104
A light and I turn on the light with this light switch.
105
So the light is on now the light is off the light in my room is off
106
but my room is still bright
107
because the light from outside is coming into my room
108
so some very common actions that occur in the bedroom are are going to bed,
109
waking up, making my bed,
110
opening my curtains, closing my curtains, and getting dressed.
111
So you can see I'm already dressed but in the morning you are usually not dressed so you go
112
to the bathroom or the washroom you have a shower you get ready you brush your teeth
113
and then you get dressed and that will be the next room we go to
114
and over here you can see i have a bunch of cables
115
and this is just to plug my phone in at night to charge it
116
and over here i have my lamp that i just turned on
117
and now i will turn it off now
118
that we've learned some vocabulary actions
119
and phrases in the bedroom let's head over to another important
120
room the bathroom this is where i go first thing in the morning
121
so i go to the bathroom i have a shower i
122
use the toilet i brush my teeth wash my face
123
and do all that and i shave
124
so let's head over to the bathroom now on the outside
125
of the bathroom there are two switches this bottom one is for the fan
126
and the top one is for the light
127
so this is my bathroom nothing fancy just a normal bathroom there is a sink here a toilet
128
and a bathtub
129
and also a standing shower this right here is a glass
130
door you open the glass door with this handle I put my hand cloth here
131
because there is nothing for me to hang it on the wall although
132
that would kind of be ideal if there was a couple hooks here or something I could hang
133
my hand towels on but unfortunately there isn't there's only one in the shower
134
so this right here this part is my mirror this is my toothpaste
135
and uh i don't know where my toothbrush is it's probably in the shower
136
because i like brushing my teeth
137
when i'm in the shower i have an electric toothbrush
138
so some very common actions in the bathroom are i have
139
a shower in the bathroom i brush my teeth in the bathroom i use the toilet in the bathroom
140
or i wash my hands as well i wash my face
141
i wash my body i floss my teeth i dry my
142
hair i dry my hands i take a bath i take
143
a shower there are a lot of actions you do in the bathroom
144
but it's mostly to do with personal health and hygiene.
145
Now let's have a quick quiz.
146
There'll be three questions throughout this whole video
147
and I want you guys to answer them and put your answers in the comments.
148
First question, where do you usually sleep?
149
Where do you usually sleep?
150
Put your answers in the comments.
151
Second question, which sentence is correct i make a shower i take a shower
152
or i do a shower
153
which sentence is correct let me know in the comments now
154
let's move over to the kitchen now we are in the
155
kitchen this is the area where you cook sometimes it's its own room
156
but this is more of an open concept kitchen
157
so you can see the living room and the dining room from the kitchen.
158
This is something I prefer.
159
Tell me, what do you guys prefer?
160
Do you prefer open concept kitchens where you can see the dining room, living room, and other parts of your home?
161
Or do you prefer kitchens that are in their own room?
162
I prefer this because it feels more open and like there is more space.
163
If it was closed off here with a wall and a wall, it would feel so, so small.
164
If there's like a wall here, a wall there, that was just the entrance, it would just feel so small congested
165
and i would feel like claustrophobic in here
166
so i'm glad it's open it's a lot nicer anyway this
167
right here is called a range hood the range hood is silver
168
and made out of metal i'm pretty sure it doesn't work i don't think this sucks any air
169
or anything out and if it does then i don't know how to turn it on
170
but i'm pretty sure it doesn't this right here is the stovetop this is an electric stovetop
171
so it doesn't work with gas instead it works with power
172
so you turn it on there you adjust your temperature
173
and you cook your food like
174
that this right here is my blender i bought this in a previous video where i went grocery shopping
175
but yeah this is my blender it actually works quite nicely
176
and uh it doesn't smoke and blow up like the other one
177
the other blender i had i told you guys i was running it
178
and just started smoking smoking smoking pretty sure a fire started in it
179
so i threw it in the stink put a bunch of water on it
180
and then i threw it out so I had to get a new one
181
but this is a good brand Philips that is the brand name Philips
182
so that blender is a lot better and it's just plastic
183
so yeah this right here is a small kitchen scale you see kitchen scale
184
and this is just to weigh you know different products so you know how much something weighs ingredient wise.
185
Over here we have our sink.
186
This is a faucet and the faucet is extendable.
187
So that's nice.
188
Over here we have two pots that are drying.
189
Up top we have four plates and here is where we keep all our cutlery and knives.
190
Give me your hand.
191
I sliced them.
192
These containers are my yogurt containers but I do like keeping these containers because I do find them pretty useful.
193
In Canada, I know we always keep them
194
because sometimes we put stuff in here if we run out of normal plastic containers
195
or we use them as like a measuring cup for our dog food
196
because we have like three big dogs and we get these big bags of dog food and we're like, how much do we feed them?
197
And we feed them a couple of cups of these each.
198
So one scoop, two scoop.
199
So it's an easy way to measure the dog food out and it's a nice container.
200
over here up top we have cupboards also on the bottom
201
we have a lot of cupboards there are no drawers here
202
only cupboards drawers are the ones you pull out cupboards are the ones you open up like this
203
and there are shelves inside you can see it's pretty empty
204
oh honestly i forgot i had these eggs low-key i should
205
cook cook some eggs boil them last time i boiled all these eggs
206
and i forgot to eat them this time i'll only boil like a couple at a time
207
but yeah i should boil some eggs though also let me know
208
if you're from japan japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes ever dude i love japanese curry
209
so much like with uh tonkatsu
210
so good dude it's so good japanese cream man is really really good i love love
211
that actually i got two i got this one too shout out japan
212
so yeah some actions you do in the kitchen are before
213
i answer leave them in the comments what actions can you
214
think of right now off the top of your head
215
that you do every time you're in the kitchen you wash dishes in the kitchen you cook
216
or i cook or or I'm cooking in the kitchen, or I just finished cooking.
217
I also open the fridge door and I grab ingredients from the fridge.
218
Same thing with the freezer.
219
I grab ingredients out of my freezer to cook.
220
The freezer freezes my food, so I need to warm it up for longer if I want it to be room temperature.
221
The fridge just keeps it cool and fresh.
222
Also in the kitchen, you can warm things up with a microwave.
223
You can also cook rice in a rice cooker, or you can boil water in a kettle.
224
This is a kettle.
225
So there are many things you can do in a kitchen.
226
But mainly a kitchen is used to make food and eat it.
227
And also to clean up after you've finished preparing and cooking your food.
228
Don't just watch this lesson and forget it.
229
Get the workbook for this video on my website.
230
And practice everything from the lesson more deeply.
231
Inside, you'll review the grammar, vocabulary, tenses, sentence patterns, comprehension questions,
232
and real English from this video with clear explanations and exercises.
233
Watching helps you understand, but practicing helps you remember.
234
And when you buy five or more workbooks, you automatically get 30% off at checkout.
235
The link is in the description or at volcaenglish.com.
236
So now we are moving to the dining table.
237
So this is the dining table, and this is where you eat food.
238
And here we have a fork, a knife, and a spoon.
239
You can have two different types of spoons.
240
This is a tablespoon, but the smaller version is called a teaspoon.
241
This right here is a plate.
242
The one that is kind of like this shape is called a bowl.
243
this is a plate and this is a glass
244
because it is made out of glass this right here is
245
my dining table these are my chairs there are four chairs
246
here two on each side of the dining table over here we have a window
247
but we can't see anything because there is a curtain blocking our view
248
but this is also for privacy
249
because there's nothing really here besides the other apartment on the other side
250
so if it was open they would just be able to see us
251
but it's just a open area in the middle of the apartment building
252
and up top here we have some lights two of these lights are blue leds
253
and the third one is a yellow light
254
so it's kind of mismatched a little bit there
255
and on the side here we have some napkins
256
and some spices salt pepper and paprika and also some sugar and a banana.
257
And over here we have a lot of rice cakes.
258
Rice cakes are rice crackers.
259
Third question.
260
Which sentence is most natural?
261
I sit on the table and eat dinner?
262
I sit at the table and eat dinner?
263
Or I sit inside the table and eat dinner?
264
Leave your answers in the comments.
265
Now I'm in my living room.
266
This behind me is called a sofa or a couch.
267
These are called pillows.
268
This is a coffee table, a glass coffee table.
269
This is a TV remote.
270
There are many buttons on the TV remote, but the main one is to turn it on, the main red button.
271
There are also more buttons to change the channel or to change the volume.
272
So this is a TV remote.
273
And over here, this is a TV, a TV.
274
Right now the TV is off.
275
You can tell because the screen is completely black.
276
And on this side we have some paintings, some cupboards, some storage space, an air conditioner, and here we have a fan.
277
This is just to keep the living room cool.
278
Cool.
279
So some common actions in a living room are i sit
280
down on the sofa i pick up the tv remote
281
and i turn on the tv
282
and i play my favorite show on the tv now you
283
can see the tv is turning on are you gonna play
284
90 day fiance facts i'll play 90 day fiance let me know in the comments
285
if you guys have ever watched this show 90 day fiance i I know my parents watch it a lot, and I've never really watched it myself,
286
but recently I've started watching it, and it's actually pretty entertaining.
287
I'm not gonna lie.
288
Some of the people on there on 90 Day Fiancé blow my mind.
289
I think there are 12 seasons, and right now I'm just watching season 12, like the most recent one.
290
They're still airing episodes, but some of those people are comically, like, are they real?
291
Is like sometimes what I think to myself.
292
Like, are they acting?
293
Is this like a character that they're playing?
294
or is this like really how they are
295
because some people men blow my mind
296
because i mean they obviously try to find i think the most extreme people
297
that are like have like the most extreme situation or personality
298
or character you know they're not going to choose the most
299
normal mundane run-of-the-mill joe schmo people right they're going to choose people
300
that are like a little bit a little bit off their rocker you know
301
and it's it's entertaining it's really entertaining now I'll turn the TV off.
302
So in the living room you can sit back, relax, kick your feet up, and just relax, you know, take a break.
303
Usually you come here after a long day of work when you just want to relax, watch a show, wind down, and spend time either with your family,
304
your friends, or your partner, or anyone, or alone.
305
Nothing wrong with that.
306
But now let's move on to the next room, and the next area of the house.
307
And at the end, I want you guys to tell me what is your favorite part of your home and why.
308
And if you have a sauna in your home, I'm sure that's probably your favorite part.
309
So the last part is the laundry area.
310
It's kind of small.
311
It's just part of Leon's bathroom, but this is the laundry area.
312
Just one washer and dryer combo unit.
313
So this is a washer and dryer in the same unit.
314
So it's a two-in-one.
315
And yeah, that's the whole laundry area.
316
To the side here, you can see this is Leon's room.
317
Take a look in there.
318
Pretty clean.
319
Now we're going to have a common mistakes section.
320
So we're going to go through some common mistakes English learners usually make.

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.
