They say that travelling while learning English helps you remember words 78 % better.

I don't know who says it, but I think they're right.

So travel with me across

China while we collect new English words.

And I have some very exciting news.

Something I've been working on for a long time.

More to come on that later.

Today I brought you guys with me to learn English in Nanjing

which is the capital city of the Jiangsu province in eastern China.

The city has a long history.

It's known for its old temples, beautiful gardens, and ancient city walls.

I wonder what we'll find today.

Hello, hello.

It is 9am on a Sunday morning.

The first few words we're going to collect are carriage.

We can call this a carriage or a coach.

It's a part of a train.

The second word where we get on the train or get off the train is called the platform.

Right now I'm standing on the train platform and over there we have my camera ward.

Now for the next word let's get on the escalator.

This is an escalator and this is my suitcase on the escalator.

This is the handle of the suitcase and this is the hand rail on the escalator let's go

so guys we've dropped our bags at the hotel and we've arrived at jiming temple

which is ancient ancient means very very old and this temple is about 1500 years old

So we have some steps to climb.

These are steps.

When they're outside, they are steps.

When they're inside, they are stairs.

So let's climb the steps.

Let's go up the steps.

Guys, I am very excited to tell you something.

We have officially launched Sprout in China.

On the App Store and on our website sproutlanguage .com if you're from China you can now use Sprout.

If you're someone who can understand English but you struggle to speak then you need an English speaking environment.

You need a way to speak in in a fun and stress -free way.

On Sprout, we've built an English immersion system.

You watch native English videos, learn key vocab with flashcards, and then speak with AI and receive feedback.

So, day by day, you can improve your English and become fluent.

And if you're already part of our growing community on Sprout, I wanna say thank you so much.

Now, so I can hear some people chanting.

That sound that you can hear there is chanting.

chanting the buddhist monks are chanting inside of the temple

and i've just been told an interesting fact

that all of the buddhist monks here are women they are chanting some beautiful champs

up there is a temple a very tall temple

so this is a ginkgo tree and they often call this the gold leaf tree

because in autumn the leaves turn yellowy gold and within the tree you have some red ribbons hanging.

These are called ribbons.

A juxtaposition of these ribbons in the distance you can see the scaffolding.

All of this blue poles and building equipment in order to build a building is called scaffolding.

And there is a juxtaposition between the old ancient temple and the new construction.

scaffolding over there.

I've taught this word before but um that word is juxtaposition

when two contrasting elements are in the same space like skyscrapers next to forest.

Juxtaposition, they juxtapose each other.

So cool fact about these, these are the dragons and they are like roof ornaments.

According to ancient Chinese mythology these dragons were put on the

top of the roofs to protect the buildings from fire

because dragons are synonymous with water

and they're not just for decoration they also provide some structural anchoring to keep the roof in shape

and up here on the corner of the roof is a bell

so you see these everywhere these are hanging lanterns

and they are red

because red is the color associated with prosperity with wealth with abundance at the bottom of hanging lantern

you have tassels these are tassels hanging down from the hanging lanterns

so that bell had a very resonant sound when something is resonant it's deep and rich

and it vibrates for much longer after the sound has been made so after i struck the bell

it made a very resonant sound a deep male voice could also be described as resonant

so here you can see the smoke rising from the big pot

and people are throwing incense sticks into a giant pot a big fire

and they're all burning that produces smoke

and the smoke rises into the air

I'm lighting the incense sticks with the flame from the candle you can see the orange flame blowing in the wind

so we're just leaving the temple

and look what we have found

we found a police car with flashing lights these are the flashing lights on top of the police car

and when they make the sound they're called the siren look on the floors guys you can see my shadow

and Shang's shadow.

Say hello.

BTS behind the scenes.

We have a yellow taxi and a giant archway.

This shape is called an arch.

Behind the arch we have a beautiful blue sky.

Today the weather is very pleasant.

When I say pleasant, that's a very common way to describe the weather it means the weather is nice

but it's a better adjective than nice you can use it in your language today you can say oh

wow the weather is very pleasant today and here we have the vending machines

vending machine is one of these machines where you put your money in and gets a drink.

Here we have a cute couple holding hands, swinging their arms.

So now we're walking by a huge lake.

In the distance you can see the mountains.

This is a willow tree, the one that was in Harry Potter

when it was smashing Ron Weasley in Harry's car

and behind the willow tree we have a lake down there we have all the boats on the lake

and that is where we are going my friends

now we are walking along the wooden pier the pier is this thing that sticks out into the lake.

Inside here guys, these are all the life jackets or life vests.

Well guys, we are on a boat on a lake and it's beautiful weather today so feeling good.

I wanted to introduce you to a good friend of mine and actually the co -founder of Sprouts, Blake.

100

He's the wizard behind the beautiful app, Sprout, that we have built.

101

And do you have anything to say?

102

Yeah, I've been working with Jay on Sprout for over a year now.

103

And I think both of us fell in love with language learning through Spanish originally, having lived in Spain and learned through immersion.

104

Yeah, it's been great working with you on the app.

105

And for those of you who are learning with the Sprout app, thank you and if you have any ideas

106

or suggestions please leave a comment

107

and let us know yeah absolutely we appreciate all your feedback

108

and we constantly listen to you guys we want to learn from you

109

and improve your experience learning english so thank you

110

so much for joining us on this journey to our growing spout community

111

and we hope you're enjoying this video this beautiful weather as much as we are.

112

So this is the steering wheel, a nice red steering wheel.

113

So on the lake you can see the movement of the water and we call that a ripple.

114

The water is rippling.

115

The sunlight is shining on the lake and it's almost sparkling like a dress.

116

We say that is glistening.

117

The sunlight is glistening on the water.

118

Two words to describe this beautiful view guys.

119

I just said it was stunning and Blake said it was scenic.

120

We can say stunning, scenic, beautiful, gorgeous, pleasant.

121

It's a duck, a real duck.

122

The duck is bobbing beneath the water.

123

So in the foreground at the bottom of the image you can see the lake.

124

In the middle you have the sailboats with the trees behind.

125

And far in the distance, in the background, you can see the skyscrapers.

126

When talking about an image you can use words like foreground,

127

middle and background to help you navigate your way around the photo. And

128

if you want to do this more

129

you can now use the photo chit chat game in Sprout to practice talking about photos.

130

So right now I can take a photo of this lake, I can go into Sprout,

131

upload the photo and it's gonna pull key vocabulary from

132

that photo and I will speak about it and it will give me personalized feedback on my speaking.

133

You can do the same with your phone take any photo upload it into sprouts

134

and talk about it for one minute to get your ai feedback it's a wonderful practice

135

that i do with all of my students in the infinity class

136

and super useful for improving your vocabulary and becoming a better more confident english speaker.

137

Good morning, guys.

138

It is Monday morning and about half ten.

139

The sun is shining.

140

We are walking through a national park in Nanjing.

141

I'm eating

142

probably the most delicious apple i've had in a long long time

143

and the plan for today is to head up to hike up to the top of purple mountain

144

when you go for a hike it is a long walk usually in nature

145

and right now we are walking on a boardwalk this is a boardwalk going through

146

forest and just look at that view on the right you can see the sun shining through the canopy

147

this top layer of trees in a forest is called the canopy gorgeous

148

so now guys we can see that this area is pretty busy there are lots of tourists around just like

149

Blake and I

150

representing the sprout t -shirts we're on the hike up the mountain and

151

that is a buggy the buggy is taking people up the mountain

152

this is called the apple core the core of the apple

153

just like the core of your body of the core in the center of the earth now this apple goes in

154

the bin nope not that side this side there we go

155

and blake is from america

156

so in america they say the trash can trash can trash can okay in england we say the rubbish bin

157

or for short the bin.

158

And would you say trash shot?

159

I'd say the trash.

160

The trash, yeah, to throw the apple in the trash.

161

I throw the apple in the bin.

162

You, as an English learner, can say whichever one that you please, whichever one you like.

163

This is a bridge.

164

We are walking under the bridge hey guys

165

we have a very old looking train slash car is it a train is it a car

166

i guess we'll never know somewhere in between these trees are huge massive they are gigantic they are enormous

167

they are humongous they are immense look at the size of the trunk look at this trunk

168

there's white paint at the bottom of the trunk and it forks out into this catapult like shape

169

by the way i'm holding this leaf this is a an orange leaf

170

or a brown leaf because right now the season is autumn it's autumn it's October

171

and in the UK we say it's autumn in America where

172

Blake is from they say it's the fall fall

173

so you can say it's autumn

174

or it's fall up here we have the traffic lights and that traffic light is flashing orange,

175

or in the UK we say amber, red, amber, green.

176

This is flashing amber.

177

This is a pavilion with a nice roof and red columns.

178

There are some people taking a rest in the shade from the sun.

179

So one of the most famous things in China is you would think the palaces, the kings, what did they eat?

180

What did the royalty of China eat back in the day?

181

Well, let me tell you.

182

Okay, and ducky fried chicken.

183

Look at that, with a traditional roof.

184

So guys the sun is beating down and we have made it to the top.

185

Let's go check it out.

186

There's one really cool concept I wanted to talk about and you can see above me now the canopy or the trees.

187

At the top of the forest the trees don't touch each other.

188

The leaves have space between them and they call this crown shyness.

189

Now a crown is what a king wears or a queen.

190

The crown is also the top of our head and the concept of crown shyness is when the top of the trees,

191

the top layer, don't touch so that they all work together in the forest to not take up too much of the sun's light.

192

Isn't that a cool concept?

193

Crown shyness.

194

Now guys we're heading towards the Ming tomb

195

and here we have a statue and these statues are over 600 hundred years old,

196

according to the sign.

197

And here we have a statue of an elephant.

198

This is a stone statue of an elephant.

199

And did you know what these things are called?

200

These are the elephant's tusks.

201

The tusks.

202

And this long nose is the elephant's trunk.

203

We have walked around 16 ,000 steps today and

204

that leads me on to the final word of the day which is knackered.

205

Naked is a British slang word that we love to use in England and it means you are very tired.

206

You can say this with your friends or people that you are close with.

207

I am knackered.

208

Right now, I'm knackered.

209

The next stop is Shanghai.

210

Super excited for that next vlog.

211

Stay tuned.

212

Thank you for watching.

213

I hope you found this video useful and I'll see you next time.

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.
