152
Careful!
153
Now we celebrate, get hit by the fucking train.
154
It's not
155
bad, but I feel like because we waited so long, I'm like kind of disappointed.
156
After a 45 minute wait, we have made it into Tune and we're gonna have a little brunch here because it's 1.45 which basically means it's lunch.
157
It's no longer brunch. so worth
158

159
I feel like I just love the ones of me and you.
160
I know.
161
Like, we're so cute here.
162
And same with this one.
163
Lonnie and I just finished up at another real analog photo booth, and they turned out so cute.
164
We did a bunch of different photo strips, and now we're headed over to Brandy, where we're going to do a little bit of shopping
165
and then also the naiensha design store because i realized
166
that miffy is not the same as naiensha it's like her japanese name i knew she was originally dutch
167
and like from the netherlands but i didn't know her name was different
168
so that was my bad and i know literally i feel
169
so bad but then we also learned a new phrase it's nainche het lief klein con nature
170
which means what does it mean girl i don't know i learned the little slogan miffy the sweet little bunny
171
and in dutch it sounds better because it's nainche het
172
leaf klein con nature i feel like that was really rough
173
but we're gonna go to the little design store now guys we found the miffy store there's so much
174
there are literally miffy light black boxes there's all these different colors you can get
175
or should i just get the original in the white oh my god this is
176
so cool apparently the classic Miffy's only sold here.
177
We're in a baby store, but I'm about to freaking freak out.
178
Guys, look at these jumbo jellyfish.
179
I've never seen the big furry one.
180
What?
181
Oh my gosh, he's so cute.
182
Wait, I want so many.
183
Should I get the carrot cake?
184
Okay, I really do want the carrot cake.
185
You know that's my favorite cake?
186
Wait, where'd they go?
187
We came to Brandy Malvo and I found his top.
188
And then I also really like the boy shorts from Brandy.
189
So I might just get like this pattern because I think they're really cute.
190
I really like this skirt, but I have one just like it that I actually brought on this trip.
191
This is the first piece I'm trying on from Versha.
192
It's like this cropped French.
193
I think it's really cute.
194
You can style it a few ways.
195
You can have it buttoned or tied.
196
I have it tied right now, but there's obviously all the buttons here.
197
I'm just trying on some slacks.
198
They're a size 4, so I think they're a little bit too loose.
199
Even if I wore a belt, I feel like I would want them to take them in that much.
200
I didn't see a 0-0, so I might just try and get a 2 because I think that they are very cute.
201
Oh, this is so cool.
202
This is not so cute You can throw it in here Just like,
203
threw them in there And it shows up on the screen Oh my god, thanks!
204
This is like, we're getting in like theme Like character I'm dying right now,
205
I'm tired Oh Like a cap
206
Never wear a hat.
207
I feel like I look funny We got our hats!
208
We got at the restaurant.
209
Hers is a flower, I'm a leaf.
210
You're a leaf.
211
Leafyun.
212
That was a delicious dinner.
213
Oh wow, that's a beautiful sculpture that we didn't...
214
We didn't do any sightseeing.
215
Thank you.
Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
This video provides a vibrant slice of life from the Netherlands, showcasing a girls trip filled with excitement, cultural experiences, and delicious food. Practicing your English speaking skills by shadowing this video allows you to immerse yourself in natural conversation flows, explore the rich culture of the Netherlands, and express emotions genuinely. The lively atmosphere, exemplified by the hustle and bustle on King’s Day and the enchanting scenes at the tulip garden, offers a perfect context for learners to develop their speaking skills in a real-world setting.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Analyzing the dialogue reveals several important grammatical structures and expressions that learners can adopt:
- Exclamatory Questions: "What did you see?" shows enthusiasm and surprise. Emulating such expressions can help learners convey excitement effectively during their daily conversations.
- Present Continuous Tense: Phrases like "we are going to be in Amsterdam" highlight how to express ongoing actions. This is key for discussing plans or activities.
- Use of Informal Language: The speakers frequently use casual phrases like "Oh my god!" and "Guys" to create a friendly tone. Such expressions are essential for engaging in social contexts.
- Descriptive Language: Descriptions such as "the streets are absolutely packed" or "there are tulips everywhere" illustrate the importance of painting a vivid picture when speaking. This helps maintain listener engagement.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice speaking, be mindful of specific pronunciation challenges you may encounter while watching the video:
- Kuchenhof: The name of the tulip garden can be tricky. Break it down into syllables: 'Ku-chen-hof' to pronounce it correctly.
- Tulip: Make sure to emphasize the first syllable: 'TU-lip.' The clarity of your pronunciation will impact how well listeners understand you.
- King's Day: The term can often be slurred in speech. Practice saying it slowly at first: 'King's Day,' then gradually increase your speed to match natural speech.
Utilizing resources such as a shadowing site or shadowing app can assist in practicing these pronunciations and expressions. Remember, the goal of english speaking practice is to sound as natural and fluent as possible, so take your time and enjoy the process!
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.
