Yeah, we're at 10, because we were just here in the past video,
44
that was the bell tower,
45
and now we're at 10.

72
Is this a woman's hat or is it unisex?
73
Yes, unisex.
74
Will it even fit my head?
75
Yeah, it's a good hat.
76
Am I going to look busted in this, dude?
77
You're going to look so sexy.
78
Can you hold these, please?
79
What?
80
Put it on.
81
It's too small, dude.
82
No, it's not.
83
I guess not too bad.
84
Do I look busted?
85
Let me check.
86
Do I look like a real tour guide?
87
It looks good.
88
This looks like a woman's hat.
89
A fun fact of that hat,
90
I've had it for more than 20 years.
91
Still looks really good.
92
It's because of the brand.
93
It's a really good brand.
94
If you buy quality, it lasts you a lifetime.
95
Is that still the case today?
96
Yes, because it's still here.
97
No, like I mean like with stuff you buy today.
98
No, absolutely not.
99
Even if you buy quality.
100
Well, yes, if you pay for it,
101
it might last my lifetime.
102
Of course you pay for it.
103
Oh, dude, this is giving like Australia.
104
Let's go.
105
Well, I guess we'll wear this.
106
If it looks dumb, close your eyes and just listen to the audio.
107
So me and this guy are matching.
108
He got his inspiration from the locals.
109
Okay, so we had to take our shoes off to get into this temple.
110
Whoa.
111
Dude, this is massive.
112
Massive and golden.
113
That's the one.
114
Wow.
115
Dude, this is actually really beautiful.
116
Look at the detail and look at these pillars.
117
Beautiful like wood and gold.
118
And these cranes right here.
119
And these are some huge statues on the side here.
120
And then the big gold Buddha in the background.
121
I think it's bronze.
122
They say this is bronze.
123
But it's meant to look like gold.
124
and a huge fan here to keep us cool and you can see a lot of these people here are praying
125
so here you can see a lot of photos
126
and history of this pagoda so i guess let's go around the temple yes this way
127
or should we go that way or this one i guess probably
128
that way because that's the hallway
129
and it'll bring us all the way down to the pagoda because the pagoda is on this side anyway.
130
I guess this is just like a hall you can pray in or something or just socialize.
131
If it was raining, it wouldn't be the end of the world since you can just come
132
and chill and relax in here.
133
I would just want to get away from the sun.
134
I guess we're going to have to start climbing some stairs, man.
135
Well, I guess we should have expected it low-key.
136
Bro, you're drowning right now.
137
You're drowning.
138
You need to start swimming.
139
So Leon has taken custody of the hat and I no longer have it.
140
We just climbed up all those stairs and now we can see the pagoda.
141
It says, wait to the stupa.
142
That's what they call it, the stupa.
143
Are you a little tired?
144
I'm quite tired today.
145
I think it's humidity.
146
It's very humid.
147
Yeah, I think so too.
148
It's a little bit hot.
149
But we made it to the main thing, the pagoda.
150
I think the view will be a lot nicer once we go up the pagoda.
151
Let's head up.
152
You can see Leon is walking in front of us.
153
He's walking up the stairs.
154
He just walked up the stairs.
155
And he's walking towards the pagoda.
156
Now my mom is in front of me.
157
I am behind.
158
I am behind.
159
And now I'm walking up these stairs as well.
160
Now you can see the base of the pagoda.
161
The base.
162
It is a really beautiful, majestic pagoda.
163
It's such a prominent.
164
You can see it from so far.
165
Have you been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa?
166
Yes, I have been.
167
I have been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.
168
How does this compare?
169
This one is taller.
170
Oh, dude, this one is way bigger.
171
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is really small.
172
Like, it's not big.
173
I don't know if you've been or not.
174
It's really not big.
175
It's just cool because it's leaning, I guess.
176
But this is way bigger.
177
Way, way bigger.
178
That's why we can get a view.
179
Yeah, now we're at the base of the pagoda.
180
There's a nice garden surrounding the pagoda.
181
Oh, these are lily pads.
182
Yeah.
183
These are lily pads.
184
Usually frogs hop on lily pads.
185
You can also see some algae in the water here.
186
Right there, you can see a water tap that is a pail.
187
You can also see two rags on that cement.
188
Do you see the way that they shape the trees to grow like that?
189
Yeah, the trees do look quite beautiful.
190
I like the way they trim the trees and the leaves.
191
Oh, here's a lily flower.
192
Oh, wow.
193
That's actually really beautiful.
194
Look at the flower.
195
And I think we might have to buy tickets.
196
Do we?
197
I don't know.
198
Let's try our ticket.
199
Let's try it.
200
I guess so, yeah.
201
Let's go try.
202
See if we can get in.
203
The tickets worked and now we're in.
204
So this is the bottom of the pagoda.
205
There's a huge golden Buddha with a golden ceiling.
206
But let's go up.
207
There's a sign here that says keep silent.
208
So I think we have to climb up the stairs.
209
If we have to climb up every single stair, dude, I'll be crazy.
210
It's a lot of stairs.
211
Take it step by step, I guess.
212
I wonder how many flights this pagoda is.
213
We're about to find out.
214
Okay, now we're about to get into the elevator here.
215
After everyone gets out, we're in the elevator.
216
Look at that view.
217
That is a nice view.
218
Yeah.
219
You can see like the whole complex.
220
Where do we start?
221
We enter there to the left and see where the big gate is?
222
Yeah.
223
We entered there.
224
And then all of that looks like a wall.
225
That's all a walkway.
226
Yeah.
227
So we walked that whole place.
228
Yeah.
229
And then the Buddha was in that building there?
230
No, the Buddha was the one in front.
231
No, the Buddha was here.
232
Yeah, I guess the Buddha was here.
233
You can see just the sheer size of this complex.
234
That lady said six kilometers.
235
This is like a kilometer.
236
But I think she meant if you go from one spot to the next, maybe.
237
Yeah, maybe total walkable area, six kilometers but not like lengthwise.
238
Oh wow.
239
That is crazy.
240
And you can see they have a huge convention hall there.
241
They call it the convention center.
242
I feel like we came from behind these mountains because we passed that bridge down there.
243
So we came from the other side of these mountains.
244
Well, Ninbin is just right there,
245
just up ahead of us.
246
Is it not?
247
Actually, I'm not even sure.
248
I'm a little bit lost.
249
When you stopped at the river,
250
that's where we stopped because that bridge and barges were at that rubber there.
251
And then we came around,
252
we entered in like that.
253
I'm honestly surprised there's not busier up top here.
254
We haven't really run into many people up here.
255
Maybe it's because we're going against the flow.
256
The arrow was pointing that way.
257
Oh, no, it just says no climbing.
258
Oh, there is the parking lot.
259
That's the huge parking lot.
260
Oh, my goodness.
261
There you can see that building is even bigger than the last one.
262
You can also see the big Buddha statue there with the big belly.
263
And I think we can get the shuttle buses right down there to go back.
264
Like right down there so we don't have to walk all the way back where we came from.
265
I guess we're at the end of it.
266
We made it.
267
I think when she told us five kilometers to get to the entrance gate, that's not true.
268
That's not five kilometers.
269
It is still pretty far though.
270
Yeah, it is far.
271
It's quite far.
272
This is a nice view.
273
This is like the highlight coming up here.
274

275

So go to the description or my website, volkaenglish.com.
280
We've just finished exploring this whole complex.
281
We went up the main pagoda and we saw everything.
282
We saw the whole complex.
283
It was really beautiful.
284
And now we're heading to an ancient city,
285
an ancient city here in Vietnam.
286
We're going to explore how they lived back in ancient times,
287
I guess, and maybe learn something about history too.
288
And also see a lot of beautiful architecture and structures.
289
But first, I think we should go for lunch.
290
Right, because I'm hungry.
291
Yeah, I'm thirsty.
292
I know Leon's hungry, so...
293
We don't want anybody, you know,
294
getting hungry, so let's go eat.
295
No, we don't.
296
So let's go find some food and then go explore the ancient city.
297
We just got off the vehicle there.
298
Now we're heading back to our bikes and then we're gonna go into town
299
and grab a bite to eat because we are hungry and thirsty and thirsty and dizzy.
300
So we need food.
301
Okay here We just stopped on the side of the road
302
and you can see there are a bunch of goats here and a lot of baby goats too
303
Looks like they might have been born maybe a month ago but they're also pretty small.
304
The grown adult ones are pretty small too.
305
But yeah, we stopped on the side here.
306
I thought this might be the lunch we were looking for,
307
but I guess not.
308
So we're gonna go and find a restaurant.
309
The baby goats are called kids.
310
The kids.
311
Okay, let's go.
312
Okay, so we just bought two large waters from this convenience store and now we're heading to the ancient capital.
313
You can hop on.
314
You can see my mom is hopping on the back
315
and hopefully we don't fall knock on wood
316
and let's go let's go okay we've just parked our bikes
317
here in this parking lot now we're going to go explore
318
the forbidden city it's a huge complex here you can see
319
there are some people over there having a picnic this is a nice pond here
320
and i believe this is like a someone's residence maybe this
321
was the palace i guess this is a the first courtyard
322
here what do you think of it mom i think it's really pretty it's shaded
323
so that's really nice does it feel ancient look at this
324
i think it feels more ancient than the um the pagoda
325
we were just at oh this is a national treasure called the dragon bed oh look at these ponds
326
that little girl's feeding the fish that's why they are all in front of her
327
and the fish are splashing
328
because they're eating this does look really really ancient i'm not gonna lie i wonder what
329
that says because this is like uh traditional characters right
330
so i wanted to talk about the flag i don't think
331
we've talked about the flag i was just reading up about it this is the traditional vietnamese five color flag
332
and it's traditionally used during festivals ceremonies and at sacred sites
333
so that's why we see that flag all over the historic sites
334
and then at festivals the five colored flag it's nice
335
how many colors are on it probably five no the spears
336
wait what are they would you consider this a sword
337
or a spear or actually i guess it's something completely different but like humor me What would you call this?
338
A sword or a spear?
339
If he had to choose between the two.
340
I would say it's a spear sword.
341
You have to choose between the two.
342
A spear?
343
You jab.
344
But you can't jab with this,
345
so I'll call this a sword.
346
I think I'll call it a hal job.
347
We all agreed it's a sword with a long handle.
348
Look at the design.
349
So the detail on it.
350
Yes, look at the detail.
351
Look at the eyes.
352
It's a marble.
353
Oh, it's a marble.
354
But this is a really big, nice flower pot.
355
There's a plant in it.
356
It's cool.
357
I like the scales.
358
Is this a phoenix?
359
It's like a bird.
360
It's a peacock.
361
No, it's a phoenix.
362
Look at its face.
363
That's a beak.
364
My goodness, I guess we all see something different.
365
This is a horse.
366
Shout out year of the horse.
367
2026. That's me.
368
The roof of this house looks really old.
369
Very weathered.
370
This is a traditional temple courtyard with old stone gates,
371
tall trees, and a wide brick walkway.
372
The ground is covered with large red tiles that look warm under the sunlight.
373
Several people are walking through the entrance while wearing light clothes and hats because the weather looks hot and sunny.
374
In the middle of the scene,
375
there are two tall stone towers with detailed carvings and decorations.
376
The towers look old, historic, and carefully designed.
377
Near the entrance, colorful flags are standing beside the pathway and moving gently in the wind.
378
Behind the wall, there are green trees,
379
tropical plants, and white flowers growing around the temple area.
380
The sky is bright blue with a few thin clouds.
381
Shadows from the tall trees fall across the ground and create darker shapes on the tiles.
382
The whole place feels peaceful, cultural, and traditional.
383
It looks like a place where people come to pray,
384
visit, or learn about history.
385
Let me know in the comments if you guys like those shadowing lessons.
386
Let's continue.
387
Okay, now we're going to walk through this small gate.
388
I would have hit my head there if I didn't bend down.
389
What about you, Mom?
390
How tall are you?
391
Not very likely.
392
I'm shorter than you, so I seem to fit in everywhere here.
393
You could probably fit in there.
394
Do you want to stand in that entrance?
395
Yes, I'm sure.
396
I'm just making it.
397
I think people here are shorter than I am.
398
And I'm probably...
399
Stand up straight.
400
Oh, that's like just...
401
That accommodation we had too,
402
I just made it in there.
403
Bruh, let me try.
404
Same size.
405
Get a few glasses.
406
That's okay.
407
These are some nice vines growing on this wall.
408
But it looks dead.
409
It might be dead.
410
I'm not a botanist.
411
What can you see in this place?
412
I also want you guys to answer.
413
What can you see in this place?
414
What can you see?
415
Well, I can see there's three water buffalo on the edge of this square.
416
Okay, so way over there at the very end,
417
there are three water buffalo.
418
What else can you see?
419
I can see a small pagoda.
420
Okay, small pagoda.
421
I see a row of flags,
422
both the, what was that?
423
Five color traditional flag?
424
Yes.
425
And also the Vietnamese flag.
426
And here I see a big open square.
427
I don't know if there were buildings or something here before,
428
but it's just wide open.
429
And I also see overgrown grass in between each square.
430
So that kind of is dividing each square.
431
And I can see mountains in the background and also lights.
432
I guess they light this whole place up at night, right?
433
Yes.
434
Mask for functions and festivals and things like that.
435
Anything else?
436
Yeah.
437
There's a river in the back there.
438
A river?
439
Yeah.
440
What else do you see?
441
Spotlights.
442
Did you do that one?
443
I said lights but yeah spotlights.
444
Okay so we just finished having a conversation with three young students here in the ancient capital.
445
I think they're around like 11-12 years old.
446
Yes mine was 12 years old and they live close by like 15 kilometers away or so.
447
Yeah I guess they were just like young students that wanted to practice speaking English
448
because learning English is very important so that's a great way to practice speaking.
449
You just need to like go up to any foreigner that speaks English and just ask if you could talk with them.
450
And I'm sure they'll be glad to talk with you.
451

452

456
Inside, we work on pronunciation,
457

458
so you can stop hesitating and speak with more confidence.
459
And I'm going to get the pamphlet here and the map that shows us.
460
It's a full-day activity, really.
461
It's a really good brand.
462
If you buy quality...
463
And look at these pillars beautiful like wood and gold.
464
A huge fan here to keep us cool.
465
I guess let's go around the temple.
466
I think it's humidity.
467
It's very humid.
468
Now you can see the base of the pagoda.
469
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is really small.
470
It's a nice garden surrounding the pagoda.
471
Two rags on that cement.
472
There's not busier up top here.
473

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.
