Welcome to my town here in the U .S.

This small town, Asheville, North Carolina, where I live.

Today I'm inviting you to walk around downtown with me.

I don't know what's going to happen.

We're going to pass a lot of stuff, see a lot of people, and I'm going to teach you English along the way.

I'm going to talk about whatever we see

and hopefully you'll be able to learn a lot of useful vocabulary and see something interesting along the way.

If you're new here, hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa .com, and I have been teaching real life English here on my

YouTube channel for over the past 10 years to now more than 7 million of you.

Thank you so much for learning English with me.

And like always, I have created a free worksheet where you can learn all of the expressions

that you're about to hear today.

Plus, I have been doing this a lot lately.

I'm going to add a free speaking practice so that you can practice all of these words,

all of the sentences, and really be able to use this when you go out into the real world.

So how can you get the worksheet plus the bonus speaking practice?

All you need to do is click the link in the description and enter your name and email address,

and voila, it will land in your email inbox.

This is my gift to you.

Okay, are you ready to get started?

My husband Dan is going to try to walk backwards throughout the town as I walk around.

We'll see how it goes.

All right, let's jaywalk and cross the street.

In the US, there are crosswalks, but it's not required to use them.

You won't get in trouble if you don't use them.

I know in some countries, it is pretty serious if you use a crosswalk or not, but I didn't.

Don't tell anyone, but nobody really cares.

So here we are just on a side street and I want to show you something.

Do you know what this is called?

This is a parking meter and you need to pay the parking meter if you're going to park on the street.

But we did not park on the side of the street.

We parked instead in a parking garage.

This one actually has a really cool art on the outside of it.

We parked in a parking garage because it's cheaper and we are going to go see a play downtown.

We're walking to the theater right now.

So I didn't want to pay a lot of money to park on the side of the road.

So we parked in a parking garage and you can do that pretty much in any city that you go to.

It's a pretty useful thing.

All right, let's keep going.

I'm going to show you a staple of Asheville life.

One of the staple coffee shops in Asheville is one that actually my husband used to work at.

And it has a unique feature that seems not very American,

but at the same time, it is uniquely American.

Let's go and see.

Come on.

Do you see what I mean?

This is not an American bus.

This is a British double -decker bus, but it has been transformed into a coffee shop and it's pretty cool.

It's a cool place to get a drink.

There's not much seating as you can imagine because inside is the coffee shop,

but let's go walk into the courtyard and see what it looks like.

Come on.

You remember these good old days working here?

I do.

It's been a while though.

It's been a while.

Alright, let's keep going on the street and see what there is to see.

So Asheville is known for a lot of handmade crafts

and art and a lot of little shops will have handmade mugs

or paintings and these types of things

that it's really cool you can see who made them

you can even go visit their studios in a lot of places

and downtown there's not as many studios for making those things

but they sell them in a lot of shops so let's keep looking

what i appreciate about here downtown asheville compared to other small

towns in the u .s a lot of small towns in the US, their downtown area is just dead.

There's not much going on.

There's hardly any restaurants or shops and no people are going there.

I've lived in a lot of different small towns where that's the case, but Asheville's busy.

You can see a lot of people are walking around.

A lot of these people live here or they're tourists visiting from the local area, maybe one hour away or 50 minutes away, something like this.

And it's a place that people actually enjoy being, as opposed to a lot of downtowns in the US that are kind of non -existent anymore.

All right, let's keep going.

I wanna show you one of the most popular stores, downtown Asheville, and it is Mass General Store.

Inside is everything, including, if you like candy, the biggest candy selection you will ever see in your life.

So I wanna walk around, and I'm just going to walk around the store and show you what there is to see.

It is very cool.

I think it's quite fun.

Let's go.

Wow.

Now this is a very Asheville outfit right here.

Oh my gosh, their kid stuff is so cute.

Tiny little jackets.

all right you know you're just here for the candy let's go see

so let me tell you about what some of these things are called in English first of all

this is a stuffed animal when i was a kid we called them stuffed animals

but now kids call them stuffies like this is a stuffy call it what you want

but here there's a lot of different types of chocolates caramels

because in the u .s we call this caramel not caramel

caramels and this is a classic kids candy especially around easter time

because they like to hide jelly beans inside Easter eggs and it's like a common Easter activity.

This is also a very popular one.

Hershey's Kisses.

This is what my kids like to have in their stockings for Christmas. Of course, classics.

Reese's Cups, one of my favorites.

Do you know what this is?

it's called a Tootsie Pop and inside of it is a Tootsie Roll

which is kind of chocolate kind of not it's kind of gooey I used to love these as a kid

and we call this a lollipop

100

or a sucker either one oh do they have these in your country it's a necklace candy necklace

101

and these are Smarties it's like little tart powdery kind of candies

102

and you can wear it as a necklace

103

and then eat it i used to love

104

this too as a kid oh this is something very american have you ever seen

105

this salt water taffy salt water taffy is kind of like the texture of caramel

106

but it's different flavors and sweet and it's always associated with the beach I guess

107

because it's made with salt water somehow I have no idea how it's made

108

but they are very good yeah you want to see some old school candies these

109

I don't know who chooses these anymore over the the less old things

110

but a bit honey

111

or these uh very old type of hard candies we call these hard candies these are the ones

112

that you would find in my grandma's house

113

and they're probably still like 40 years old at her house oh these are these are the thing

114

that i would always try to get um at halloween these

115

These are called a bullseye or it's a cow tail.

116

If it's long, it's called a cow tail.

117

If it's small like this, it's called a bullseye and it's not caramel, but it's so good.

118

If you come to the US, try it.

119

Look at this one.

120

Gummy brains.

121

I've never seen that before.

122

They have gummy everything gummy eyeballs, gummy brains, gummy snakes.

123

That's pretty good.

124

Gummy building blocks with like Legos that are gummies.

125

Wow.

126

What?

127

Do you know what this is?

128

This is a jawbreaker.

129

So usually, usually they're this size and you can't chew it.

130

It breaks your jaw.

131

You have to suck on it for a really long time but this what

132

It's so big.

133

You know what?

134

These sour straws, they're sour sugar gummy straws.

135

Let me show you.

136

These, when I was a kid, we used to sneak out of our neighborhood and find any kind of change that we could,

137

like quarters and dimes with our friends.

138

We would sneak to the grocery store and we maybe had like a dollar and 25 cents.

139

We hardly had any money, but we would buy these and eat them.

140

And it was always before dinner.

141

So we would come home.

142

If my mom's watching this, don't tell her.

143

We would go home, we'd eat them.

144

And then when it came time for dinner, we would pretend that we were so hungry.

145

Oh, I'm so hungry.

146

This dinner is so good because we didn't want to give away

147

that we had already eaten a whole pack of sour straws.

148

My secret safe with you, right?

149

Oh yeah.

150

Do you know what these are called?

151

wind chimes wind chimes we have one of these on our deck it's so peaceful and nice

152

there are t -shirts of every type

153

postcards

154

Asheville postcards oh these are some Asheville postcards I've never seen

155

sometimes when my students send me postcards I try to send them a postcard back

156

if I have their address and I try to buy cool Asheville postcards to send to them.

157

So now I know where to go.

158

I've been sending the same Asheville postcards for years.

159

This is the place to get them.

160

Oh, we got to see something.

161

What is in the Asheville popcorn mix?

162

It is popcorn with a purpose.

163

Okay.

164

White cheddar and salted caramel.

165

So that is what makes Asheville white cheddar popcorn and salted caramel.

166

A little salty, a little sweet.

167

That's probably about true.

168

All right, let's go out of the store and keep walking down the street.

169

Oh yeah, this is a famous restaurant.

170

The chef had lots of awards.

171

It's Spanish pork and Spanish inspired dishes.

172

Tapas stuff.

173

We've been there a couple of times and it's pretty good.

174

All right, let's keep going.

175

This is a classic Asheville shop called Hippie Shop.

176

Everything, lots of tie -dye, lots of stained glass, lots of beads, lots of feathers.

177

Lots of...

178

Everything.

179

Everything.

180

Everything hippie.

181

Everything hippie.

182

This is what some people say is the best Indian restaurant in Asheville, Mayfield.

183

I've been there once and it was pretty good,

184

but it was a while ago so I can't say speak to it but it was good enough.

185

Wow they did win a lot of awards.

186

Best of Asheville 2023, 24, diner's choice 25, 26.

187

Okay maybe you should go there if you like Indian food and if you're Indian and you go there let us know.

188

Let us know if it is actually authentic

189

And if you're Japanese, you can try the ramen and tell us if it is actually authentic too.

190

I have never been to this ramen place, but I've been to another one in Asheville that I thought was really good,

191

but I'm not the ramen expert.

192

But as you can see, there's a lot of international food and international cuisine options.

193

I think it's really typical in the US and especially Asheville's known for food.

194

So oftentimes restaurants here will use local ingredients and then they'll say that too.

195

So if they don't say they're using local ingredients, they probably aren't.

196

But a lot of restaurants will say farm to table.

197

And that means that they know the farm that it came from and now it's on your table.

198

So it is locally produced, locally made.

199

All right, let's keep going.

200

We are now going to go up here to the center.

201

This is kind of the little center square there's often festivals

202

or music going on I don't think there is anything going on tonight

203

but let's just go over there and then we're going to go see some chocolate let's go

204

everybody around here better know I'm here all right we got the walk sign let's go all right so

205

So here we have the best place in Asheville.

206

Oh, the sun.

207

It's very bright.

208

Okay.

209

This is the Asheville Art Museum.

210

I have to say, I've never been there.

211

I don't know why I've never been there.

212

Maybe it's because I have too many kids.

213

I can't go in art museums.

214

A lot of people really like it, but over here is the crowning glory of cool places in Asheville.

215

So this is the place.

216

I love chocolate.

217

I know not everyone's a chocolate fan, but it's obviously popular because French Broad Chocolates is killing it.

218

They have a great business now and they have a whole other location in Asheville too,

219

so I'm very happy for them that their business is working out

220

and it has been for a really long time

221

so french bond chocolates is a place dan also used to work he knows a lot of the coffee shops

222

and places like that around here

223

from working here and they go to all the farms the cacao farms

224

and they know the farmers and this is really what i was telling you about before

225

that term farm to table you'll see that at a lot of restaurants

226

and here because they know the farmers

227

and then they process the cacao themselves in their own factory here in asheville

228

and they make a lot of tasty things um lots of they have ice cream

229

they have little truffles they have hot chocolate they have

230

so many different chocolate things and i think it's not too busy right now

231

so i guess we should go all right let's go in Thank you.

232

So the one thing is when you get farm to table food, it is expensive.

233

So you have to be willing to shell out some money.

234

For example, let's take a look.

235

this is a this is a box of they call it truffles

236

or bonbons and it's these in here you can get six

237

and this costs 20 for six of these

238

but you know what I always buy these for people as a gift because everyone, at least everyone in Asheville knows, this is really special chocolate.

239

So it feels worthwhile to spend a lot of money on something that's Asheville crafted.

240

Very special.

241

And yeah, it's a really good gift.

242

So I just bought these actually earlier today at their other location as a gift for some people.

243

But I'm not going to buy anything to go.

244

Let's go to their front and order something good.

245

When Dan used to work here, I used to come here and plan videos for you.

246

I would sit in the corner with my laptop,

247

and it was the best not job ever for me because all of the staff knew that I was Dan's wife.

248

I wasn't just like a regular customer.

249

So if something broke, like a piece of cake broke, and they couldn't sell it,

250

they said, Vanessa, do you want this? or if they had something new that they wanted to test out on someone,

251

I would get to try it.

252

It was the best.

253

It's the best job that

254

Dan has ever had for me.

255

What was the most popular thing that people bought when you were working here?

256

Or the most common thing?

257

Honestly, probably a chocolate chip cookie.

258

Yeah.

259

Yeah, that and there's liquid chocolate.

260

Oh, yeah.

261

Hot chocolate.

262

Yeah.

263

it's not just hot chocolate like it doesn't have water

264

or milk at it it's literally just like a melted chocolate bar

265

that you can drink so good so decadent and dangerous you can't have

266

that too much when you worked here did you eat

267

that a lot like did you try little things a lot

268

oh yeah ice cream actually is mainly what got me oh yeah yeah

269

i'm gonna get the chocolate crème brûlée please

270

and that's all for here please all right

271

so I'm going to buy this with my card

272

and there's a little touch pad here

273

and that's basically all I have to do it's

274

so simple just touch it and the crème brûlée is mine

275

and yours you can also tip

276

but you also have the option to tip with your card at the same time

277

you don't have to tip with cash but if you have cash

278

They say cash is king.

279

It's very appreciated to give a cash tip, but you can tip with your card too,

280

which is what I'm going to do because I don't have any cash.

281

Here it comes.

282

Thank you.

283

Let's go sit in the window.

284

okay so here we have our chocolate creme brulee

285

if you're french you might not have ever had chocolate creme brulee before

286

but it is beautiful and they get to crack the top

287

And inside, mmm, this is beautiful chocolate.

288

Mmm, very rich.

289

It tastes like smooth chocolate icing.

290

all right we're going to pause this for a moment eat our creme brulee together

291

and then we'll get back to our little tour on the way to the theater

292

okay let's go jaywalk again we're crossing to the downtown city square and not getting run over.

293

And this is one thing that I find slightly disappointing about American downtowns is that this is not a hangout zone.

294

Like this square has a lot of potential.

295

And I feel like the European cities I've been to, the downtown square, there's like teenagers hanging out,

296

There's little markets going on and sometimes they have events here, but this isn't the hangout zone.

297

You know, there's a nice fountain.

298

That's cool.

299

But it's not the vibe of European downtown city centers that I like a lot.

300

But there is a nice view.

301

Let's walk down this way and you can see some of the classic buildings

302

so this type of architecture um it's called art deco a lot of the buildings around here

303

if you know anything about architecture

304

which i don't really they are like classic art deco

305

so you can see here this style this style here it's considered art deco is like a 1920s thing

306

I'm not the person to ask about architecture but Asheville is kind of known for that style of building.

307

Let's walk on down here.

308

So you can see here some more classic art deco buildings

309

and some covered by trees

310

but this is I want to talk about the ground for a moment in the U .S we call this the sidewalk,

311

but this sidewalk is made of bricks and I think that's really nice.

312

I know a lot of European cities, all the sidewalks are made of bricks, but here it's not completely common that that's the case.

313

I think some people are taking pictures, so let's go over this way and not get in their way.

314

Yeah, I think we should walk down the street.

315

We still have about 15 minutes before we need to be at our play

316

and the play is just going to be right over here.

317

So are you willing to walk down this way with me and we'll go around the block.

318

Okay.

319

I love these sycamore trees.

320

The bark looks so cool.

321

Actually, let's stop for a second.

322

I got to show you.

323

Look at this.

324

It looks like a giraffe.

325

It looks like someone peeled it off, but that's how it's supposed to be.

326

Our neighbor has one of these trees and they're just so beautiful.

327

All right, let's keep going.

328

If I can complain one more time about American downtowns, this building is Biltmore corporate offices.

329

Biltmore is the biggest house in the U .S and it's in Asheville.

330

It's the biggest tourist attraction in Asheville

331

but I think American downtowns could use a little bit more storefront

332

or like yeah storefront space

333

and this is completely unused for offices you know

334

this isn't like there could be nice little shops there could be nice little restaurants

335

or I don't know something yeah

336

so this is prime territory right prime land to be able to do something with

337

and the whole half of the downtown square

338

is that kind of a bummer but you know i guess you can only get what you can get right

339

some people might call this a skyscraper um ashville is not known for its skyscrapers there's not many skyscrapers here

340

but um I guess this is the tallest

341

or one of the tallest buildings here most buildings are what would you say

342

this is let's take a look one two three four five stories tall that's pretty common

343

but I guess there's also a few skyscrapers classic American fire truck truck.

344

Yeah.

345

There's some very nice music being played across the street there.

346

I don't know if you can hear it past all the other noise.

347

Come on.

348

It's always nice whenever you see people playing on the side of the street like that, it is called busking.

349

I am busking, he is busking.

350

And it means you're playing music on the side of the

351

street with like a little cup trying to get some money and Asheville's known for buskers.

352

There's a lot of buskers and if you stop

353

and listen to a busker for like a couple minutes

354

it's nice to drop a dollar in just you know supporting some musicians along the side of the street.

355

They usually have to get a permit.

356

It's like an official thing.

357

You can't just sit down on the side of the road and start playing music.

358

So before you cross the street in a city center, especially a busy place like this you should push the button

359

if nobody else has and it will beep

360

and then it will light up the crosswalk sign

361

this is the one place i know we talked about uh jaywalking

362

but this is the one place when you probably shouldn't not

363

that you'll get in trouble but it's just not safe

364

because there's actually a lot of cars and a lot of people and i don't want to get hit

365

yeah i know i've heard some people say

366

that ashville is the paris of the south like the south of the u .s i don't believe it

367

but it is nice for a little city center in the south of the u .s

368

maybe i'm throwing too much shade on ashville as in it's not paris but it's a nice place to walk around,

369

you can see local shops and here's some buskers, you know, a little bit of culture going on.

370

Oh, this coffee shop used to be on the other side of the street

371

and now they're here and they have pastries that are very nice.

372

Dan and I used to go on a date to old Europe

373

and it is one of the only coffee shops downtown that

374

Dan has not worked for.

375

So I want to take a little pause for moment right here

376

i want to show you the trash cans this is a lovely moment guys

377

so this is becoming more popular in the us but you will see recycling and landfill landfill is just trash

378

you can see it even says on the side landfill recycling in the us recycling is anything

379

that you could possibly ever recycle you put in there you don't separate it you just throw all your plastic

380

and glass and paper in the same bin.

381

Does it actually get recycled really efficiently?

382

I don't know, but there is an option.

383

So as you're walking along the side of the street, you can throw your trash in the recycling or the landfill.

384

All right, let's keep going because it is almost time to go to our play and I don't want to be late.

385

So this place, the Mellow Mushroom, is a really popular pizza restaurant in Asheville.

386

Excuse me, a popular pizza restaurant in Asheville.

387

And this is the original location.

388

You'll see them in a couple different towns too, but they have an interesting vibe.

389

It's not necessarily like the world's greatest pizza, but it's a popular spot and they have a fun Asheville vibe, I would say.

390

Bowling balls stuck in the wall.

391

You know, lots of colors, fun statues.

392

And let's continue and finish our tour in just a minute.

393

We're about to get to the theater.

394

One thing that I like that is becoming more popular in downtown areas is this kind of outdoor seating idea.

395

In a lot of countries, it's so common to just sit at a little table in a cafe on the corner.

396

But in the US, it is not very common, especially in a busy downtown area like this to have any kind of outdoor seating.

397

I love this though.

398

I think it is great, especially in Asheville.

399

We have awesome weather.

400

Most of the year it's really pleasant outside like right now.

401

So to be able to have outdoor seating is my go -to thing.

402

Whenever I go to a restaurant, if there's an option to sit outside, that's usually what I choose.

403

So it's nice to see more restaurants opting to have seats outside.

404

Wow, look at this tree.

405

Its roots are bulging through the sidewalk.

406

It's going to take over the sidewalk.

407

Wow.

408

I really like that they kept some big old trees downtown.

409

A lot of downtowns just cut down trees or they just have these little tiny trees, but I appreciate that there's greenness even in downtown.

410

Oh, this is a nice little view.

411

We can see the building that we saw earlier, the tall Art Deco Classic building.

412

And our theater is right over here.

413

It is about time for us to go to see the play.

414

And I want to thank you so much for joining me on this walking tour.

415

I hope you learned a lot of interesting vocabulary, English phrases.

416

The best way to really remember these is to use them right away.

417

So I recommend downloading the free PDF worksheet for all of these expressions and inside the worksheet is a bonus speaking practice

418

Where you're going to be able to practice speaking with me and using those phrases out loud

419

That way they will stick in your memory and when you go out into the real world

420

You'll be able to describe your downtown area and describe where you live

421

So the only way to get that worksheet is to click the link in the description

422

Enter your name and email address and it will land in your email inbox

423

That is my gift to you.

424

So thank you so much for learning English with me.

425

And I hope that you will join me next Friday for a new lesson here on my YouTube channel.

426

Bye.

427

But wait, do you want more?

428

I recommend watching this video next where you will go into a real English American coffee shop

429

and you will learn how to order coffee in English plus some little tips

430

and tricks if you're not quite a coffee person like I am.

431

I hope to see you there.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
