शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Spend a Day in the Most Beautiful English Village 🇬🇧 (Real British English) - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

If you can understand the whole of this video,

your English is very strong.

Today, I am going to take you to one of the most beautiful and the most famous Cotswold villages.

Like before, there will be no script and no deliberate slow speaking,

just you and me spending the day together.

Are you ready?

Let's go.

I am taking you to a gem in the Cotswolds called Borton on the Water

and it is known as the Venice of the Cotswolds so you'll have to see what you think of it.

It's not quite as nice a day as I would have wanted,

it's not sunny but maybe that makes for a more authentic British experience

because as I have mentioned before we do get a lot of grey.

hopefully it won't rain fingers crossed

and I thought you might want to see some more of

the typical British countryside in springtime it's currently mid-April although this might come out in a few weeks time

so you can see that luminous green I was talking about more bluebells

and the typical narrow lanes of the countryside and we are approaching Borton on the water oh pretty cottage

and here we are the Venice of the Cotswolds as they call it exciting I can't wait to show you

here we are in Borton on the water as I said it's known as the Venice of the Cotswolds

and I called it a gem you can't really call it a hidden gem anymore

because it has been put on the map as we say in

that it has been discovered and especially in summer it gets packed

and on a nice day it is absolutely heaving with tourists that's a good british expression to be absolutely heaving

but you can understand why

when you come here obviously it's called the venice of the cotswolds

because of the beautiful river running through it

and the lovely quaint bridges another A very good word to describe it is picturesque.

It's the sort of place you would see on a postcard

so we might call it postcard pretty but picturesque would be a really good adjective to describe this village.

And it is lovely.

I have to say you can find many other beautiful Cotswold villages

that haven't been discovered yet so maybe one day I will take you to those two

and show you those secrets first let me take you for a walk through the village

and of course grab a coffee one thing that is very distinctive

and born on the water that I love is

that it has a lot of willow trees those are these trees here hanging over the water

and it makes it really atmospheric it's a very atmospheric place It's better when it's sunny,

but the other thing, the Cotswolds stone is really famous here.

It has a warm hue,

that kind of honey-colored stone.

That's a very distinctive feature of the Cotswolds.

In this village, there are so many lovely little shops and cafes.

I've used that word picturesque because it really is.

It's one of probably the most picturesque villages you can find here,

and it's just so quintessentially English nestled in the heart of the Cotswolds.

I hope you enjoy this glimpse into this lovely village.

It's a shame they have some sort of green netting up,

so it's not quite as picturesque as normal.

And there's a war memorial,

like they have in many villages,

to commemorate the First World War.

As I said, lots of tourists.

Actually, there are fewer today.

Normally, there are a lot more.

And Borton is distinctive for these low stone bridges.

There are about five or six of them that you have probably seen already and noticed.

Lots of Cotswold themed shops.

A Cotswold candle makers there, love it.

And a Cotswold perfumery.

Another good word to describe this village is idyllic.

It's a very idyllic village.

The river is called the River Windrush, and it's very popular.

Dogs wanting to swim in it.

Lots of ducks always in it as well,

very popular with the animals.

In summer people also just dip their feet in or do some paddling,

that's a good verb.

Yes and there's another one of the Lowstone bridges I mentioned, lots of those.

There's a pub up over here at Kingsbridge Inn.

Speaking of which though, I'm starting to get a bit Peckish.

I'm starting to get a bit peckish,

which means I'm a bit hungry.

So I think it might be time to grab a bite to eat and this restaurant looks lovely, doesn't it?

Come inside with me now and see me order.

Please could I get the poached eggs and then to drink the sparkling elder pappies?

Thank you.

Sorry, I forgot to actually show you my meal, but it was delicious.

As I said, it's not quite as crowded as it normally is.

I suppose it's quite a windy and grey day,

but I used to come a lot here when I was a child,

and it was a lot less crowded back then.

And one of the main attractions is this little model village,

which is very sweet and quaint,

and I will take you to see it now.

Isn't it sweet?

Tell me, have you got anything like this near you?

I would love to know.

And I shouldn't have been worried because the sun has come out just for you.

There we go.

Just so that you can see this lovely little model village.

And the model is surprisingly accurate.

The river Windrush, the low stone bridges, the motor museum.

It's all true to life.

This brings back lots of memories of childhood and makes me very nostalgic.

That's a good word, nostalgic.

Because it reminds me of when I used to come here when I was little and I used to love it.

I suppose there's something about miniature things isn't there?

Mini things.

100

That's why children love dolls' houses and that's why this is just quite special.

101

Lots of little bridges and trees.

102

It's just exciting.

103

Beautiful model village of a beautiful Cotswold town.

104

Come and show you the inside.

105

As I said, we used to come here a lot

106

when I was a child

107

and it was the first time I really started understand the concept of infinity

108

because you have a model village within a model village

109

and then there's a model village in there

110

so i remember thinking as a child first grappling with the concept of infinity

111

because you have the infinite regression of a model village within a model village within a model village

112

and then i just thought but when does it end

113

if every model village has a model village in it

114

when does it stop it's funny to remember how your mind works as a child.

115

You've got the model village and the model village in the model village.

116

And I love the details right down to the music playing,

117

to the shop fronts, you can see all the mini shops there.

118

You've got a post office and the Victorian Christmas shop.

119

I'll show you the real life one of that.

120

What do you think?

121

Does this make you want to come and visit Boughton on the Water?

122

and this is fun this is a periscope so it's got angled mirrors

123

so that you can see it at street level come

124

and have a look with me

125

and we can pretend we are small enough to fit in the model village

126

and you can see the real size of people there okay

127

and now i am back in the car

128

and on my way home i hope you enjoyed that and that it made you feel more comfortable with your english

129

because if you understood most of it,

130

then as I said, well done because this is real everyday English.

131

We are lucky because I don't know if you can hear that,

132

but it is now raining.

133

So we had perfect timing with the weather and the rain.

134

Let me know if you enjoyed this because I would love to do it again.

135

Maybe take you to a smaller Cotswold village,

136

a hidden gem next time.

137

Take care.

138

Thank you for joining me and I'll see you in the next one.

139

Bye.

140

Thank you.

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।
