Pratique du Shadowing: I Survived On €0.01 For 1 Week - Day 2 - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Good morning, sleepyheads.
2
It is day two of trying to make it back home to America, starting with just one penny in Europe.
3
Yesterday, I started in Paris.
4
I was able to get a bus ticket here, a flight to the next country, and a baguette.
5
Paris was very successful.
6
I think we can all agree on that.
7
The bus ride was overnight.
8
It was from roughly midnight to 7 a.m.
9
For 31 euros, I mean, it was good.
10
It was a good deal.
11
It was shelter for the night.
12
It was transportation to the next country.
13
And when I got off, I was a little confused.
14
I was.
15
I have no idea where I am or how to get to where I'm going.
16
Also, I have never seen a bird like that.
17
Like that bird right there.
18
No offense.
19
I like it.
20
I like the bird.
21
And my inventory so far is really just a marker and a notepad, or half of a notepad at this point.
22
And since we're only sitting at 9 euro and 79 cents, I have some serious goals for today.
23
To tell you them, I gotta go into the city.
24
And I'll reveal where I am as well.
25
My friends, I have made it to Amsterdam.
26
I've always wanted to come here.
27
It's so fun.
28
There's canals everywhere.
29
There's bikes literally every square inch.
30
I don't know how big that is.
31
It's awesome.
32
I'm loving it.
33
Speaking of I'm loving it, I need to go get some breakfast.
34
And then I'll tell you my game plan.
35
Well, if that's not the cutest McDonald's I've seen in my life.
36
I figured out how to get the international McDonald's out, by the way
37
so I think I'm gonna get some deals from now on.
38
I'm gonna go inside, it looks adorable.
39
Okay, boom.
40
Chili chicken is happening.
41
They're playing Empire State of Mind by Alicia Keys.
42
This is amazing.
43
Why are we not spelling it like that in America?
44
Y'all, this is a little reckless, but I want this so bad, please.
45
Oh, no, no, no. All right, 455, let's do it.
46
Yummy.
47
breakfast, a chili chicken sandwich, and a latte.
48
It's pretty cold here at Amsterdam, even though it's summer.
49
I like it.
50
I like the weather.
51
It's fun.
52
We do only have 5 euro and 24 cents after this, but that's enough for my money-making method today.
53
So I'm gonna enjoy this meal.
54
I'm not gonna feel guilty about it.
55
Chicken.
56
Pretty nice.
57
Looks good.
58
Makes me feel like a giant.
59
It's not that big.
60
Let's try it.
61
Mmm.
62
That's really good.
63
It's kind of like sweet sour chicken.
64
That was awesome.
65
I just spilled my latte all over myself.
66
Now that I've finished my latte, it's time for my game plan.
67
I made a massive decision yesterday to buy a bus ticket here to Amsterdam
68
and a flight out of Amsterdam in a couple days.
69
That's going to make it easier on me later, but much harder on me right now because I have, I mean, you see it.
70
524. It's Not looking good.
71
Hi.
72
Sorry.
73
So here's what I want to accomplish today.
74
When I got to Amsterdam, the first thing I noticed was the bikes.
75
There are insane numbers of bikes in this city.
76
So my goal today is to rent a bike and become a local.
77
Point-point proven.
78
It's about 10 euro to rent a bike for 24 hours.
79
The second thing I noticed is that there are an infinite number of cute businesses.
80
And they all have windows.
81
Last year in Vegas, I cleaned one business's windows for a total of $60.
82
$40.
83
This year I'm gonna try to do the same thing except maybe charge five euro per window something like
84
that and once I earn money from that I need to find a place to sleep tonight hostels are like 40 euro.
85
That's honestly a bag I don't know if I'm gonna spend
86
that hammock 15 euro that feels like a good investment So obviously I have a tall task in front of me today.
87
I have a lot to do.
88
We should get moving well then Lots and what gone Holland That's less let's get it in Dutch
89
I'm stood on this city is gonna be spotless when I'm through it
90
Let's get it.
91
I am in the department store in the cleaning aisle.
92
So here's what we're cooking with.
93
$2 for window spray, $2.25 for a squeegee.
94
That's going to leave us pretty much a euro left.
95
But we have a client, so I'm happy.
96
Can you get a bag?
97
No, that's okay.
98
$4.25.
99
There you go.
100
Thank you.
101
I'm okay.
102
Thanks.
103
Have a good one.
104
Bag secured.
105
All right, guys.
106
We got our cleaning supplies and our client is literally right here I believe we have six large windows to clean.
107
Hopefully he doesn't question my setup
108
So these are the five six windows we're gonna clean they
109
overlook the canal I feel like I'm getting an experience right now.
110
It's a privilege.
111
Oh my gosh, dude.
112
Look at this All right window number one,
113
let's get it They provided a ladder
114
Just finished our first job at Fashion Deal.
115
The windows are looking great.
116
Guys, check out Fashion Deal if you're in Amsterdam.
117
The place is insane.
118
And the windows are so clean.
119
I didn't agree on a price with Mel.
120
I kind of told him I was like trying to clean windows for 5 euro.
121
So I don't know if he's gonna...
122
I don't know.
123
I'm happy with anything.
124
That took like an hour.
125
We got the whole staff over here.
126
All right, guys.
127
Do you like them?
128
Do you wanna go check them out?
129
I actually checked them.
130
This is for the hard work.
131
Awesome, brother.
132
Thank you so much.
133
You guys are the best.
134
We're gonna get home to America.
135
Thank you, guys.
136
Mwah.
137
I forgot something.
138
What's that?
139
I went out to a special store for this.
140
Okay.
141
Probably you had the strobe muffles before you guys.
142
These are the big ones.
143
These are original.
144
Tube waffles.
145

150
Cheers.
151
Okay, job number one complete.
152
Dude, I love this guy.
153
He put it in an envelope.
154
That's the sign of a hardworking man.
155
Well, he said for the hard work.
156
Real recognized real.
157
Nah, but he gave me water and Coca-Cola as well.
158
So this is a generous guy.
159
I'm like nervous.
160
I feel like I'm on deal or no deal or something.
161
It's just a ticket to America.
162
Oh, oh.
163
No, he didn't bro.
164
Where is he?
165
Over there, over there.
166
Oh my gosh, Bo, he's- Oh my gosh.
167
Mel.
168
Mel.
169
Mel.
170
Can everyone just comment MEL with a question mark?
171
In all caps.
172
I need the comment section to be spammed with it.
173
I'm confused.
174
Dude, that's worth putting in an envelope.
175
That's crazy.
176
Bro, come here.
177
That's insane.
178
Bro, that is insane.
179
I have so much time in the day still,
180
I'm just gonna try to see if we can get some more customers. So...
181

182

183

211

212
Take care.
213
See ya.
214
Y'all, we are up to 110 euro and 99 cents.
215
That's insane.
216
It probably isn't reflected in the video, but that was like many hours of window cleaning slash asking people for window cleaning.
217
But obviously it was a huge win.
218
This is the craziest thing.
219
I think last year in Las Vegas, it was the same situation.
220
I basically had nothing and then we window cleaned and it felt like I was on top of the world.
221
That's exactly how I feel right now.
222
But yeah, got to figure out sleeping tonight.
223
And I want a bike.
224
Look at all these bikes.
225
I can't not have a bike, or at least ride a bike, in Amsterdam.
226
That one's nice.
227
I also think I'm gonna take a break and eat some Stroopwafel that Mel gave me, and a Coca-Cola.
228
Just gonna consume some calories.
229
Sounds like a good plan to me.
230
What a day.
231
I have four Stroopwafels here from Mel.
232
He also gave me a Coca-Cola, and I'm gonna eat some.
233
I'm gonna eat this now.
234
Stroopwafels are a big deal in Amsterdam.
235
I've actually heard many people say the word Stroopwafel more times
236
than I've heard in my entire- I've never heard anyone say it before.
237
Here, I've heard it at least a dozen times today.
238
We got a baguette in Paris, we got a Stroopwafel in Amsterdam.
239
What's next?
240
Oh, it smells so good, dude.
241
Mm-mm, no!
242
I've never been happier.
243
I'm looking at a- I don't even know what to call that.
244
A canal cruise, go through the canal in the middle of Amsterdam eating a Stroopwafel.
245
Mmm.
246
I love Amsterdam.
247
First Stroopwafel.
248
Enjoy.
249
Yummy!
250
I got three more of those puppies.
251
Dinner!
252
Hayley's gonna be so mad at me. Is this real?
253
What?
254
It's a tiny car.
255
I love it here.
256
I made it to the bike shop.
257
I'm going to rent a bike for 24 hours for 9 euro and 90 cents.
258
Let's do it.
259
Oh, yeah.
260
They got some bikes in there.
261
Let's hit it.
262
That's it.
263
Perfect.
264
Sounds good.
265
Thank you, Butcher.
266
Appreciate it.
267
Have a good one.
268
Take care.
269
All right.
270
I got a bike.
271
It's not the best bike, but it's my bike for the next 24 hours.
272
Wow.
273
Howdy.
274
Look at these canals!
275
Oh, it's windy!
276
We don't have weather like this in Texas right now, that's for sure.
277
Albert who?
278
I was trying to think of a one-liner.
279
I'm gonna do it again.
280
Hope this place has deodorant.
281
Now that's what I called.
282
I'm going inside inside.
283
I couldn't think of anything.
284
I need toothpaste and I need deodorant and a toothbrush.
285
It smells so good in here.
286
Bruh, 69 cent toothpaste.
287
It's huge.
288
Is this accurate?
289
Is this toothpaste?
290
It is.
291
10 pasta.
292
125. Don't mind if I do.
293
Excuse me.
294
Do you guys have deodorant?
295
Okay, spray on me.
296
Oh, okay.
297
Thank you.
298
Wait, what the?
299
Oh, that smells good.
300
This is our haul.
301
Let's go spend some money.
302
Oh, don't tempt me.
303
Don't tempt me. Should I do it?
304
No, no, no, no. Oh, amazing.
305
Bonus.
306
Thank you.
307
Have a good day.
308
Bye-bye.
309
That's right.
310
Howdy.
311
You gotta soak it up.
312
I'm not gonna be in Amsterdam for long.
313
That was a haul and a half.
314
I still have 95 euros and 27 cents.
315
Come here, come here.
316
What are you doing over there?
317
Dang, the lens is a little foggy.
318
This looks like a lo-fi music video.
319
Such a vibe.
320
Ayo, toothbrush check.
321
This is long overdue.
322
Time to find out if this is really toothpaste.
323
That's the last thing you want to be saying as an adult.
324
Okay.
325
Yeah, that's toothpaste.
326
Oh my gosh.
327
And then deodorant.
328
I'm excited about this one.
329
This one smells good.
330
That's huge.
331
That actually smells so good.
332
So I currently have 95 euros and 27 cents.
333
In my head, I have a few options of what I can do to sleep tonight.
334
The first option, like what I did last year, I hammocked in most cities.
335
I bought a hammock super early on are not too expensive.
336
So that would be my preference.
337
But I don't think the Netherlands likes hammocks at all.
338
So I want to be respectful of that.
339
So option two would be a hotel.
340
A hotel costing pretty much all of our money.
341
80, 90 euro.
342
Or finally, the third option, a hostel.
343
I found a hostel for 25 euro and 10 cents.
344
It's actually really close by.
345
Ideally, they have a bathroom, like a shower.
346
That'd be insane.
347
But realistically, I think that's, I think that's our best option.
348
So I'm booking it.
349
I booked it voila.
350
We got ourselves a hostel free Wi-Fi, baby.
351
It looks nice It looks good.
352
I'm gonna bike there right now, and I'll meet you there Oh,
353
baby here we are Hotel Anne-Marie looks cute All right,
354
this is home for the night Alright, Hotel Emory.
355
Hey guys, do you guys know where Check It is?
356
It's right here?
357
It's here.
358
What is the name of the reservation?
359
Ryan Trahan.
360
How many person?
361
Just one.
362
Amazing.
363
Let's go.
364
checked into my hostel.
365
The hostel is a huge upgrade for me from the bus.
366
I love the bus.
367
I did.
368
I slept several minutes last night.
369
No, it's fine.
370
Amsterdam was good to us today.
371
It was crazy.
372
Shout out to Mel and Coco for your generosity.
373
You guys literally changed the trajectory of this challenge for me.
374
With the amount of money we have to make each day on average, it feels impossible, but so far back-to-back days, we've done it.
375
It's really mind-blowing to me.
376
I've never been To any of these countries and there's just nice people everywhere.
377
It's so encouraging.
378
It's so cool All that to say let's not forget what this whole series is about
379
and that's raising money for water org every five dollars We raise gets one person lasting access to safe water
380
or sanitation our goal is 100,000 and yesterday we passed 20,000 on day one, which is crazy.
381

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.
