give you two cheese cheese.

Can you eat măm thơm?
4
Măm thơm?
5
What is măm thơm?
6
This is măm thơm, one of the special sauce in Vietnam.
7
What is it made with?
8
It smells kind of gross.
9
Really?
10
I think it's wonderful.
11
It's a wonderful kind of special Vietnamese sauce.
12
Like fish sauce.
13
Okay.
14
How do you smell?
15
Yeah, because I've been living in Vietnam for about three years, and I'm always like taken back.
16
I'm shocked with certain things.
17
I can never get used to it.
18
With even food?
19
Yes, with food.
20
So today, we are going to talk about culture shock.
21
Culture shock, the difference between Western and Vietnamese culture, and the things that are very surprising.
22
Thum thum.
23
Ugh, gay wah.
24
It's soft.
25
Viet, what do you call this?
26
Trung vi lộ Trung...
27
Trung, you go up there with Trung Trung?
28
And go down with Viet and lộ Viet lộ Like upside down Okay, so this you would say is maybe a big culture shock for a lot of foreigners
29
But in English you would call this a baby duck fetus
30
So fetus is a baby but inside the person So is this quite common in Vietnam?
31
It's one of the comfort food in Vietnam that I'm very very in love with Yeah, so a comfort food is a food that you usually go to when you're hungry and it makes you feel happy.
32
But as a foreigner, many foreigners would be grossed out or creeped out with this.
33
Be grossed out, creeped out.
34
It's like a strange Kila feeling.
35
But does this gross you out or creep you out?
36
No, it turned me on like I love it.
37
Really?
38
Yeah, I don't know why so many foreigners get creeped out when they see this.
39
Yeah, I first tried this in California with my VQ friends.
40
Wow, they have it in Carnivaling.
41
Yeah, where like the Vietnamese communities or Vietnamese markets, you can get it.
42
So it's not a problem.
43
So after eating this, what do you want to do?
44
We're gonna head out for some iced tea.
45
Would it be okay for you?
46
I will love it.
47
Iced tea?
48
Ding Viet, how do you say iced tea?
49
Chà-da.
50
Chà-da.
51
Okay.
52
Chà-da.
53
Chà-da.
54
Okay.
55
But I think you need to eat up and then we'll get going.
56
Yeah.
57
Comfort food is a food that you may eat that makes you feel very happy, special and like a homey feeling, like you're at home.
58
So for example, many Vietnamese may find chung viet lòng, a comfort food.
59
It's something on the street and reminds you of Vietnam and it makes you feel very happy and comfortable.
60
Yeah, coming on.
61
Yeah.
62
Okay, thanks, Viet. So, Jada?
63
It's something very common in Vietnam, too. In Vietnam? In Vietnam.
64
Very cheap.
65
Tasted.
66
It's okay.
67
It's a little strong, though.
68
Yeah, so very common.
69
Cheers, do you guys say cheers or 1,2,3, or 100%, 1,100%, okay, not for jada.
70
Yeah, because, you know, in Ho Chi Minh, where I live, we do have jada, but we don't have a lot of, it's not like Hanoi.
71
In Hanoi, it's everywhere, but in Ho Chi Minh, often coffee.
72
People always say, jada, Hanoi.
73
Yeah, so it's recognized.
74
Ho Chi Minh is recognized for coffee in Hanoi for cha da.
75
Okay, so maybe it's like an iconic, iconic drink.
76
Something that's iconic is something that's gonna be famous or recognized for.
77
Because I know the song Saigon Cafe Sua Da and then...
78
Okay, yeah, so it's very big.
79
How do you translate it into English?
80
The song, cha da pi a ha?
81
I have no idea.
82
Iconic.
83
Something that is iconic is something that's maybe famous or it sticks out.
84
It's easy to see and it's really well known.
85
So for example, maybe chung viet lồng is an iconic food in Vietnam.
86
Or maybe nực măm is an iconic food in Vietnam because it's so popular and Vietnam is known for these foods.
87
How much money do I make a month?
88
Yeah.
89
See that's my culture.
90
That's a bit touchy.
91
You know I have to adapt.
92
I live here so I have to accept your culture.
93
Because now in Vietnam it's like me, hey, how much money do you make?
94
Do you have a girlfriend?
95
Why aren't you married?
96
So I just ask Vietnamese this now.
97
Do you know what to beat around the bush?
98
The bush?
99
Yeah, so to beat around the bush, this is an idiom where you have to speak maybe indirect
100
because the opposite is being direct or you could say blunt
101
because Westerners can be very blunt but it depends on what you're talking about.
102
So to beat around the bush.
103
So to beat something is to hurt something and a bush is a plant.
104
To beat around the bush means not to be direct about something.
105
When direct, you're speaking very straight.
106
So for example, maybe you're very shy to ask your parents or your boss something very important.
107
So you may beat around the bush.
108
So you're scared to ask them.
109
So you speak like this rather than this.
110
So to beat around the bush.
111
What are you doing?
112
I'm just drinking coffee.
113
Why?
114
We're just drinking coffee.
115
Why do you need a selfie?
116
I just want to keep the memory, the good ones, while we're here.
117
You know, I often see Vietnamese very invested in social media and taking pictures and pictures.
118
Invested in?
119
Yeah, so to be invested is to spend maybe a lot of time very involved with something.
120
So yeah, I see Vietnamese often very invested in pictures and social media and online things.
121
I think nowadays a lot of teenagers and even adults, we are spending time invested in social media,
122
photos and sharing our life a little too much.
123
Yeah.
124
Okay.
125
Now for me moving to Vietnam, I've invested more time into social media.
126
But Western culture, something's very different from Vietnamese.
127
So it's a bit of a culture shock for me
128
when I see all the selfies and selfies and selfies and selfies and selfies.
129
Now that you say I invested a little bit more, less time for social media.
130
Yeah, we'll see.
131
We'll see.
132
But no problem.
133
It's okay.
134
Because this is Vietnam.
135
So you guys do whatever you want.
136
It's no problem.
137
And I have to learn your culture.
138
Yeah.
139
The good one.
140
To be invested in something, that means to be maybe occupied with, involved with, doing something a lot.
141
So for example, when I was in school I was very invested into nutrition
142
and health and fitness and biochemistry because I was invested into this to learn more.
143
So I spent a lot of time doing it.
144
Justin, how do you feel about this coffee?
145
Coffee?
146
Coffee?
147
Like compared to Starbucks, something really popular in the West?
148
Yeah.
149
Vietnamese coffee, it's fine.
150
It's not a lot, it's very small amounts.
151
But it's very cheap.
152
It is cheap, but in the West we just often drink Starbucks.
153
Starbucks.
154
Starbucks is like a really cheap coffee to get in the US.
155
In here, Starbucks is considered something very fancy.
156
Fancy?
157
and fabulous like for people to come in and and
158
and share to the world
159
that i have a couple stuff up here like hey not everyone having it you know what i mean yeah
160
because in the us it's different we just pop in
161
and pop out pop in and pop out yeah to pop in
162
and pop out means to go in very fast
163
and come out really fast
164
so often for coffees in the us we just pop in get a coffee
165
and pop out we just go let's pop in pop out go in
166
and out real quick because in the us maybe like one coffee we do like haimlinge
167
so it's dirt cheap it's really really really cheap
168
so it's dirt cheap so
169
if something is dirt cheap it means it's like free it's very very cheap
170
but starbucks coffee in the u.s is dirt cheap
171
because i often see sometimes on facebook people taking pictures of like mcdonald's
172
or like kfc and mcdonald's vietnamese sometimes say it a little different but mcdonald's mcdonald's Fast food in the US is very,
173
very, very cheap.
174
McDonald's is, we would say, like a poor man's food.
175
A poor man's food is for poor people.
176
So McDonald's is very, very, very, very, very cheap.
177
Poor man's food.
178
I don't think we're the price in Vietnam.
179
To pop in and pop out.
180
It means to go in and out very fast.
181
So, for example, drinking coffee in Western countries like United States, California.
182
I may just pop into Starbucks and pop out.
183
So I just go and pop in and pop out.
184
That means I go in and I come out very fast.
185
So another example, it's like I go to McDonald's.
186
I just pop in and pop out.
187
I get something very fast, in and out.
188
So in this episode of Culture Shock, is such a confusing language.
189
It's hard to wrap my mind around this.
190
Wrap your mind, wrap your head and you don't understand what is happening.
191
Because this language is very different from English.
192
And I want to give you some examples of Ding Viet practicing.
193
So here, I don't know what this means, but Ming.
194
Another kind of noodle. So noodle.
195
Trưng.
196
Egg.
197
Egg.
198
Zadò.
199
Zadò.
200
Nước mâm.
201
Fish.
202
Dòi.
203
Garlic.
204
Oat.
205
Chilli.
206
Chăn.
207
Lemon.
208
Gia đỏ Nước mâm Fish Garlic Chân With Vietnamese, this language is tonal.
209
I mentioned earlier, it's hard to wrap my mind around it, but tonal, in English, we don't really think about going up and down and all the marks with English.
210
But you must, because if not, you mispronounce things.
211
I know because sometimes, learning a new language is hard.
212
learning Vietnamese is even harder because I found it completely confusing for foreigners like you with the pronouns.
213
Yeah, because when I first started learning it drove me up the wall.
214
If something drives you up the wall you get so so angry and so annoyed.
215
You're going up a wall.
216
So did English drive you up the wall when you learned English?
217
A little bit, a little bit actually when I first learned English.
218
However, I love English.
219
I love the cultural and the language so I get into myself a little bit easier.
220
Okay.
221
For you, is it like a piece of cake?
222
Not a piece of cake.
223
A piece of cake is something very easy to learn, but at Tinh Viet, no, it's hard to wrap my mind around it and at times it drives me up the wall.
224
I get so frustrated and so annoyed.
225
To wrap your mind around, to wrap your head around.
226
That means it's difficult to maybe understand.
227
So for example, if you're Vietnamese and you've never gone to a country where it's cold with a lot of snow,
228
it's very difficult to wrap your mind around living in snow, or wrap your head around living in snow, because you've always lived in Vietnam.
229
It's difficult to understand.
230
You want to test me right now?
231
Yeah.
232
So he's going to test me on the tones.
233
On the tone because if you change it, only the tonal, then the meaning of it is completely different.
234
I know.
235
I've had some terrible mistakes like nôi bài on accident.
236
I said very bad words because my pronunciation is wrong.
237
Yeah, say for example, you say ma.
238
Ma.
239
Ma.
240
Ma.
241
Ma.
242
Ma like a ghost.
243
Ma.
244
Ma.
245
Hanoi.
246
Con ma, con ma like a ghost.
247
Okay
248
and you go up a little bit with the tonal you
249
say ma ma ma okay ma mother mother mother what is ma ma ma
250
so but but it's hard to wrap my mind around this right now
251
and then striving up the wall a little bit ma young
252
rice matt okay what about ma ma uh another way to say a heart and ma Maa.
253
Maa.
254
Okay, and then the one with the question mark.
255
The question mark.
256
Maa.
257
Maa.
258
A grape.
259
Ugh, so difficult.
260
It's driving me up the wall.
261
It's hard to wrap my mind around this. So okay.
262
A word, five different total.
263
Five different meanings.
264
I know.
265
But English, one word, as many tones as you want, same meaning.
266
Same meaning.
267
It doesn't matter.
268
It's the same meaning.
269
So it's not a piece of cake.
270
This is something that's...
271
Oh, learning languages.
272
I know.
273
Practice makes perfect.

Speaking Goals for This Clip: Navigating Cultural Conversations

This video helps you hit a key fluency milestone: discussing cultural differences with confidence. Whether you’re talking about food, customs, or daily life, the dialogue models how to share reactions, ask questions, and explain unfamiliar concepts—skills that make real-world conversations flow smoothly. It’s perfect for practicing shadowing (repeating phrases aloud to mimic rhythm and tone), a technique that boosts both pronunciation and natural speech patterns.

Phrase Bank: Reusable Expressions for Real-Life Talks

  • "I can never get used to it" – Ideal for sharing something that still surprises you.
  • "Be grossed out / creeped out" – Describe strong negative reactions to new experiences (e.g., "Many foreigners are grossed out by unusual foods").
  • "Comfort food" – A go-to term for foods that make you feel happy (e.g., "This dish is my comfort food when I’m homesick").
  • "Taken back" – Express being shocked or surprised (e.g., "I was taken back by the local customs").

Fix Your Weak Spots: Pronunciation & Rhythm Tips

The video is a goldmine for improving English pronunciation, especially with tricky phrases like "baby duck fetus" (focus on stressing "fetus") and "iced tea" (keep the "t" sounds crisp). Pay attention to how the speakers shorten words in casual speech, like "I'll" and "you're"—this helps you sound more natural. For extra practice, use a shadowing site or try shadowspeak (repeating lines right after the speakers) to match their pace and intonation. Tools like shadow speak platforms make it easy to loop short clips, so you can master the rhythm of phrases like "What is it made with?" or "Would it be okay for you?"

Learning English with YouTube doesn’t get more practical than this—you’re not just memorizing words, but learning to use them in conversations about real culture. Grab a notebook, hit play, and start shadowing today to turn these phrases into second nature!

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
