शैडोइंग अभ्यास: This is Bath, England | Slow British English - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Hi, my name is Evie and this is a video in slow English to help you practice your listening comprehension.

What is this?

A big curve.

Today we are in Bath

which in my opinion is probably the most beautiful city here in the UK or well at least in England.

We're currently standing in this really small park but I thought

that we could just check out some of the most important places here in the city.

So Bath is a really famous city for its architecture.

It has some buildings from the Roman era and also some buildings from the Georgian period.

So that's like the 18th century, the 1700s.

Right now we are on our way to the Royal Crescent which is one of the most iconic sections of this city.

You will see when we get there why this area is so iconic,

why it's so special.

So let's go for a walk in the sunshine.

we're gonna head this way through the park

and yeah I will show you a little bit of the city

and we will just explore a little bit of Bath today

We're now walking into one of the parks which is on the way to where?

The Royal Crescent.

You can see here above the park entrance these lions.

You can see the flowers on the tree.

We call that blossom.

So here's the sign for the royal crescent.

A crescent is like the shape that these buildings are in,

like a big curve.

And these are residential houses.

So people do live here.

Very rich people live here.

Obviously all of the city is not quite as as grand as this,

as kind of fancy as this,

as we would say posh.

So posh is a word actually that only exists in English.

Posh is basically like upper class,

kind of rich, fancy And these buildings here are definitely posh Honestly,

you can tell by the cars There are a lot of Range Rovers Which is a posh,

a posh car

People will often use the way that you pronounce the word bath To tell if you are posh or not So,

the kind of important letter here is the A.

If you are posh, you will pronounce this city as Bath, Bath, like this.

And if you are from the countryside in this area,

if you are from the countryside,

you will say Bath, like this,

bath if you're wondering which one I say

when I speak on these videos I tend to use an accent

that is more modern RP so a little bit more posh

so in most of these videos you will hear me saying bath

but if I have a glass of wine if I'm with friends

if I'm speaking with my family I'm much more likely to

say bath where I'm from in Cornwall that's more our accent

so we say bath we say grass but

if you were posh you would say bath and grass grass or grass bath or bath it's also really sunny today

nice like blue sky

so all of the doors in the royal crescent are

white you can see all of the doors are white except for this one at number 22

so apparently in the 1970s the lady at this house

number 22 she painted her door yellow and it upset this city

so much that she went to court

so she had to go to court to basically argue that she was allowed to paint her own front door

yellow people were worried that it was kind of breaking tradition so

breaking that it was breaking the tradition of the kind of classic white door

that the rest of the buildings have obviously she did win the trial so

there is only one house here now number 22

which has a yellow front door kind of interesting no

so it's still very early well

it's not it's not very early what time is it like 4 p.m

it's like 4 p.m so we have a few hours until the sun sets

so the royal crescent is behind me now

and we are going to head into the main city i will try and film but i'm shy okay i'm shy

so for now let's head back into the city let's go back into bath

or bath we are walking back into the city

but i'm going to teach you a word that you will never ever use in english

okay do you see this this thing here made of stone is an obelisk it's an obelisk

because honestly i don't even know why but that like stone pillar is an obelisk you will probably never use that

The pub is called The Raven,

which is a type of bird,

like a black bird, like a crow.

There's a gin bar.

How funny.

It's closed.

No gin.

No gin today.

It's so peaceful.

A cafe, cookies.

Open, coffee and cookies.

And then the bridge.

we are now walking towards the abbey the abbey is basically just like a big church here in bath

it is quite an impressive building so i will try try

and grab some clips for you

but it has these amazing walls made of bath stone

which is that light beige stone and it's right next to the old Roman baths it's literally right next door

It's a cafe.

Where is it?

They were fully booked.

So behind me are the Roman baths,

which are why this city is called Bath.

Here in Bath there are hot springs.

So water is coming up from the centre of the earth to the surface the surface

and the water is warm okay it's hot they're natural hot springs the Roman baths

that are here are original from like 70 AD really old really impressive and they're right behind me

100

so we are now at the baths that this city is named after so let's let's go in

101

We are here at the hot springs.

102

this temple we are sitting in right now is Roman so it's from about 70 AD do you remember the exact day?

103

73 so the temple we are sitting in right now is from 73 79 AD

104

these hot springs are baths okay so these are Roman baths people used to swim

105

or bathe in the water

106

and it was a really important part of Roman culture it was an important part of Roman social culture.

107

So this is a way that you would make friends or kind of spend time with other people.

108

There was also a religious element to these hot springs.

109

So something interesting that we learned is that people used to use this hot spring to curse other people.

110

So they would write in metal the names of people that they wanted the goddess of this hot spring,

111

the goddess of this hot spring to curse.

112

And people have found them thousands and thousands of years later, these curses.

113

so for example people are cursing somebody who stole their cloak

114

or they're cursing somebody who i don't know all sorts of people nowadays you cannot swim in the water

115

because this is a museum but there are other spas in the city

116

that you can use to go swimming we actually walked past

117

a hot spring that you can swim in earlier on today

118

but what an impressive building and so cool

119

that you can sit here so close to the water it's amazing and you can see all of the

120

like what are those with the flames what are those called

121

torches they have torches burning all around the outside of the spring

122

and statues are watching from over the top of the balcony it's incredibly cool it's really really amazing to to be here

123

Honestly, we are in here with the ruins of the old Roman temple.

124

It kind of like stinks.

125

Like it kind of smells bad in here.

126

I think it's probably the hot springs I have no idea

127

so we are now leaving we are now leaving the baths but yeah super gorgeous

128

but it's time it's time to go okay

129

so behind me is the bath and well the bath house

130

and I think honestly it's time to get a drink and get some dinner as well we

131

and now we are going to grab something to eat I think it's time to have dinner

132

so that is basically the plan now I just wanted to say thank you

133

so much for watching and I will see you in the next one oh and film there that's super cute too

134

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।
