And I've never been to Japan.
10
Is it Japanese people?
11
Leave the comment, Japanese people, please.
12
Nearly 60 % of people in Japan have noticed their neighbor who's becoming more crowded because of tourists.
13
As I understand, this is the huge flow of new tourists.
14
It can destroy, a bit destroy,
15
a Japanese city, because a tourist can bring a trash garbage with them and sometimes Thank you.
16
Just break the Japanese rules about respectful about behavior on the streets and as I understand
17
Decided to put signs on the streets.
18
Yeah, there's a culture differences Did you know
19
that for example in Japan eating while walking on the street is seen as rude?
20
But in countries like the UK, it is normal.
21
In Russia it's also normal.
22
Using selfie sticks in the way It's rude.
23
Using your phones while you're walking on the street is also rude behavior in Japan.
24
So question number one: What are your thoughts on Japan's new sign for tourists?
25
I completely understand this act for government, because Japan has a different culture,
26
has a different tradition in comparison with the rest of the world, like with the US or Europe.
27
And just to protect your country and your culture,
28
Japanese decided to to sign to make these signs.
29
Do you think the signs will have an impact?
30
I think this sign definitely will have this impact, but obviously not for every tourist,
31
because I'm sure we can notice a lot of disrespectful tourists.
32
who just will ignore these signs.
33
What advice would you give a tourist to visit your country for the first time?

Absolutely, 100 % you will never complain about Moscow.
37
It's a great city, clean and just awesome.
38
about tourists advice Don't smoke weed on the streets.
39
In Russia smoking weed is illegal.
40
Don't leave the trash on the streets because We're trying to keep this in the clean situation.
41
Do people in your town or city often complain about tourist behavior?
42
Yeah, in Moscow people really often can complain about tourist behavior.
43
But it's not really tourists, it's illegal immigrants
44
About their behavior people really often complain that sometimes it's really awful behavior
45
and they broke Russian tradition rules and this kind of...
46

It's just illegal immigrants from nearby countries.

Why practice speaking with this video?

This first video in a series challenges the speaker to engage in daily English practice, offering a fantastic opportunity for learners to improve their English speaking skills. By observing someone taking on the journey of speaking in front of the camera, you can gain insights into the process of self-assessment and progress tracking in your language learning experience. Recording yourself not only helps in identifying areas needing improvement but also boosts your confidence in speaking English.

Through this video, you can practice English speaking in a lively context centered around tourism and cultural awareness, making learning relevant and engaging. As you follow the speaker's insights about Japan's tourism etiquette and cultural practices, you’ll be encouraged to think critically about cultural differences and expressive language. This way, you can enhance your vocabulary while integrating cultural knowledge into your discussions, thus enriching your English learning journey.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Here are some key grammatical structures and expressions found in the video:

  • “I really find this interesting” - This expression is used to convey personal opinion and can be adapted to other subjects, such as “I find this topic challenging” or “I find this language beautiful.”
  • “As I understand” - This phrase is useful for emphasizing your interpretation of information, connecting it to your speaking practice, e.g., “As I understand English grammar, it is very complex.”
  • “It can destroy” - This construction illustrates potential consequences and is relevant for discussing issues related to culture and tourism. You might say, “Too much noise can destroy the peaceful atmosphere of a place.”
  • “What advice would you give” - This phrase can be used in various contexts when seeking or giving recommendations, aiding in the flow of conversation.

Using these expressions in your own speaking practice can significantly aid in improving English pronunciation and fluency. Try shadowing the speaker as they use these phrases, paying attention to the rhythm and intonation.

Common Pronunciation Traps

In the video, some pronunciation challenges may arise, particularly with specific words and phrases:

  • “Tourists” - This word can often be pronounced incorrectly. Focus on the correct enunciation, emphasizing the second syllable: tour-IST.
  • “Respectful” - Breaking this word down into syllables can help learners pronounce it correctly: re-SPECT-ful.
  • “Behavior” - This term can sound tricky due to its subtle vowel sounds. Listening and repeating can help you nail the pronunciation: be-HAV-ior.

Utilizing shadow speech techniques where you mimic the speaker can assist in smoothing out these pronunciation issues. Consider using a shadowing app to practice your pronunciation and compare it with the video content. Regular English speaking practice through these methods can lead to notable improvements in your language skills.

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.
