Creazione lezione...
1
Welcome back to a new video guys.
2
Today we have another slow English vlog.
3
I'll be describing everything I see and hear today.
4
We'll be visiting the National Museum here in Jakarta,
5
Indonesia, and we'll also be having conversations in slow English so you guys can understand everything.
6
This video is part of my 3 ,000 most common English word series designed to help you understand up to
7
with all 3 ,000 words, it's in the description.
8
- Purple, old, exhibition, carpet, marble, right?
9
However, tombstones, textured, hot, watering, skull, herbs, mud, tall.
10
Rugby, let's get started.
11
Okay, so this is the entrance of the museum right there.
12
You can see that is an underground car park.
13
And over here is the entrance.
14
- Yeah, what do you call that?
15
All right.
16
So this is called a column and those right there are also called columns.
17
That's just kind of support the, structure above it.
18
So in this case, it's like a roof, and in this case, it's also kind of like a roof.
19
What if they had columns like that but they didn't lift anything.
20
or they weren't structural.
21
If it's more for like design and looks, a better term would be a pillar.
22
But columns? and pillars are both that vertical structure that supports something.
23
Columns and pillars.
24

29
But now we're going to head into the entrance of the museum to buy our tickets.
30
We're going to walk down these stairs.
31
If you're not walking fast, and we are not walking slow.
32
We're walking at a normal pace.
33
How would you describe these stairs?
34
To me, look a little bit old, don't they?
35
- Yeah, they've definitely been here for a couple of years.
36
- How else would you describe them?
37
What's one other thing?
38
- I would describe these as textured.
39
They are not slippery.
40
And even if it rains, you won't slip on them because they are, textured.
41
Yeah, they are textured.
42
They're not completely smooth and they're not perfect.
43
There are grooves in them, bumps and other imperfections.
44
I would also say they're a little dirty because of the bird poop, but it doesn't really matter since these stairs are outdoors.
45
So it doesn't matter if they are dirty because you'll be only standing on them with your outdoor shoes.
46
However, some people might sit down on them and then get their butt dirty.
47
But that's not a big deal.
48
But now we're walking into the entrance of the museum.
49
Hopefully they let us film.
50
If not, we'll just have to go somewhere else.
51
Are we getting the tickets now?
52
So now I'm gonna purchase the tickets at this kiosk.
53
I'm gonna select English.
54
Uh...
55
It's not in English.
56
Oh, foreign tourists.
57
Oh, foreign tourists.
58
That's like 20 bucks.
59
12, small beach 12 each.
60
Okay, we ball two tickets foreigners. that happened.
61
This is pretty normal in Southeast Asia and South America, where they have local pricing and tourist pricing.
62
Yeah, I mean, it makes sense.
63
Tourists usually have a higher ability to pay, but that's like 24 .20 Canadian dollars.
64
Successful.
65
Thank you.
66
Thank you.
67
Thank you.
68
Thank you very much.
69
It just happened.
70
Yeah, so they just put these bracelets on us.
71
so that they know we paid.
72
And they gave us a guidebook.
73
Yeah, and this QR code on this receipt is used to scan into the gates here.
74
So we scan in and then we can see the museum.
75
It's surprising because the one in Korea is free, and that's a huge museum too.
76
I'll give you yours.
77
and I'll scan it here.
78
All right, so we just scanned in with this QR code, and now we're going to go see the museum.
79
I think this museum is big, but as I was saying right out there, the National Museum of Korea is actually free, which is surprising, because when we went there, I was expecting to pay, It was free.
80
This one makes sense, $12.
81
Korea's like a different country too, because...
82
Actually, now that I think about it, most national museums I've had to pay, even in Japan...
83
Oh yeah, or in Canada, you have to pay everywhere, dude.
84
None of that's free.
85
Korea's just like a...
86
exception.
87
Yeah, well it's nice and that museum is really nice too.
88
People that are from here, it's only like three, four dollars.
89
Four dollars, yeah.
90
So, not that bad.
91
Yeah.
92
Okay, where do we want to go first?
93
Early history, that shoe garden.
94
Early history is usually some of the nicest stuff.
95
- Oh, they have an immersive Immersify.
96
There was this in Kuala Lumpur as well.
97
Immersify.
98
No, that's the word for immersive in Indonesian.
99
Cut that out.
100
Well, they have some guided tours as well.
101
Really?
102
But there's only a few in English.
103
two in Japanese.
104
This is the days of the week and they're only at 10 a .m.
105
Except for this one.
106
Oh, that one's at 1 :30.
107
Oh, we-- No, today's Wednesday.
108
Oh, today's Wednesday.

114
How would you describe this museum so far, like this big area?
115
Honestly, this center area feels super grand.
116
It's huge, isn't it?
117
It's like the ceiling is very, very high.
118
Very high ceilings, you could look up.
119
But I was a little confused because that white building with the pillars, I thought that that was the main entrance to the museum.
120
Yeah, me too.
121
I guess that's like an area of the museum.
122
Thank you.
123
This type of floor that we're standing on, this is called carpet.
124
This is carpet.
125
Carpet is just a material.
126
There are different types of materials.
127
you can use this flooring, for example, there you can see it's stone.
128
Stone?
129
but you could also have hardwood floors or tiles.
130
carpet stone cement.
131
There are a lot of different types of materials.
132
but this specifically is carpet.
133
And a rug is similar to a carpet, but a rug is usually a smaller piece that you can move around and put wherever you want.
134
But a carpet is usually wall -to -wall or covers the entire surface of the floor.
135
A rug does it carpet and rug.
136
Now let's go into the museum and check it out.
137
Okay, this is a mammoth skeleton.
138
A skeleton.
139
And this right here and that one behind it, those are the skulls.
140
The skull.
141
The skull is...
142
I think it's that animal.
143
Yeah, the skull is this part of a person's skeleton, this part right here.
144
That's a skull.
145
And you can see the huge horns of that animal.
146
It looks like some sort of buffalo or something.
147
I think that's correct.
148
A bison.
149
A water buffalo.
150
Okay, yeah.
151
So this was a water buffalo back in prehistoric times.
152
This isn't in English, eh?
153
Yeah, none of this is in English.
154
I guess not a lot of English -speaking tourists come here.
155
But you can see the small one.
156
This looks to be the skull of a deer, because you can see it's antlers.
157
I'm trying to figure out what that is.
158
This?
159
Yeah.
160
It's a big horn, so I would assume it's like a hippo?
161
No way.
162
Well, you can see its mouth.
163
Oh no, not a horn, sorry.
164
It's a tooth.
165
I would say this is a hippo.
166
What do you guys think?
167
Now let's see who is right.
168
Yeah bro, this is definitely a hippopotamus.
169
Yeah.
170
Ancient Asian hippopotamus.
171
Interesting.
172
Okay, so we just entered another exhibition room, but you can see here this looks like stone and it's meant to look like stone.
173
Like this is kind of reminding me of like ancient Egypt and pyramids, but it's not.
174
This is like styrofoam or some sort of like cardboard.
175
- Feels like foam.
176
- It's not actually stone, it just is meant to look like stone.
177
It's very similar.
178
Here we have some skulls of prehistoric humans, como erectus.
179
Oh, now we know what this means, right?
180
Yeah.
181
That's the volume.
182
of the skull.
183
in cubic centimeters.
184
cubic centimeters.
185
I I did not know that.
186
I did not know that.
187
This is the skull of a child.
188
This is a child skull. Is it?
189
It says "child skull".
190
What's it called?
191
The...
192
Mojo Kurto child skull.
193
Wow.
194
This looks like an adult skull.
195
It's a lot bigger.
196
And you can see the eyebrow, like the eyebrow bones.
197
I don't know the correct term for the bone, right where your eyebrow is, but those are huge.
198
Imagine getting head -butted by that.
199
That thing is...
200
That was a natural...
201
sunshade.
202
Yeah, it's like a little lip.
203
Yeah, but these...
204
goals.
205
How would you describe them?
206
I would describe these as Ancient, delicate.
207
Brittle.
208
Old.
209
Interesting.
210
And one more word.
211
Brown. and brown.
212
Some of them are brown, correct.
213
How would you guys describe these skulls Do you have any other words?
214
to describe them.
215
At first, I thought these were tombstones.
216
but these are actually just inscriptions.
217
So these are just tablets with writing in them.
218
- So that's what they used before paper?
219
- Yeah, they like carved like writing into these stones.
220
inscriptions But they look very similar to tombstones, don't they?
221
Yeah, especially like the ones that are standing straight up.
222
Yeah, the Siwa...
223
"Gerha" inscription.
224
This literally looks very similar to but it's not.
225
You can see the writing. on there.
226
Well, tombstones have writing on them too.
227
But this has like a lot like they're trying to like tell you something, you know, like the Ten Commandments or something.
228
Okay, so we just left the first few exhibition halls
229
and here you can see this is where the rest of the halls are
230
and this right here is just a sign of things
231
that you can do and can't do and you can see there are a lot more things you cannot do.
232
For example, You can't touch anything.
233
You can't smoke, obviously, and you can't use flash honestly makes sense.
234
But over here, we have a map of Indonesia.
235
Indonesia.
236
And we are right here.
237
It's a card.
238
Another very popular place to go in Indonesia is around...
239
It's around here, right there.
240
Bali.
241
Bali.
242
What most people think of as Indonesia is Bali.
243
Most people think of Bali, Indonesia because that's just the most popular and famous part.
244
- It's always funny to see people comparing Bali to other beach countries.
245
So they would be like, where do you guys think I should go?
246
Bali or Thailand?
247
It's like saying, should I go to Bangkok or the Philippines?
248
Right?
249
Like it's comparing a city to a whole country.
250
That's true.
251
That's true.
252
But right now, my friend is on this island, Lombok, and he's doing a bike tour.
253
Four days around the whole island.
254
Dude, but Indonesia is - So big.
255
It's actually so big.
256
Have you seen it?
257
Like people take Indonesia and put it over like North America.
258
It's like, it's wider than the States.
259
- The whole size of North America.
260
- Even bigger.
261
And the scale is one to one million.
262
So time this by a million, that's the size of Indonesia.
263
Okay, so you can see all these pillars here, all these pillars.
264
And when we came in, we came in through there.
265
That was the entrance.
266
But this part's blocked off, so we can't go in here.
267
But this is, like, a very nice entrance.
268
Unfortunately, it's closed.
269
Over here, here you can take a closer look at the pillar or the column.
270
And it's a little dirty.
271
Actually, the whole thing is dirty.
272
Usually, it's just the bottom part that's dirty because people touch it all the time.
273
But this one is just dirty from top to bottom.
274
Or maybe that was the way it was painted.
275
But let's continue.
276
These floors are marble, right?
277
These are marble floors.
278
material you can use for floors.
279
And this material is expensive.
280
Marble.
281
Here we have wood, wood floors.
282
This is a statue.
283
statue of Ganesha.
284
Ganesha, it's a Hindu god.
285
I'm not really too familiar with the Hindu gods.
286
This whole part is like, Hindu gods or Hindu related things.
287
Yeah, but that's only recently.
288
Like in the past, I'm pretty sure the majority was like Hindu.
289
Because a lot of temples are like Hindu related or a different religion maybe.
290
I'll have to fact check that.
291
Statue of a queen.
292
Oh.
293
Mm.
294
We should censor that.
295
Yeah, close your eyes.
296
You can see these.
297
These skulls on the bottom of this statue, this is like Kind of giving like God of death vibes.
298
Well, it should see somewhere now.
299
Thank you.
300
It says...
301
Buddha.
302
Now let's talk about how we can describe something.
303
I'll start with this.
304
First you can say what it is.
305
This is a pillar.
306
Then you can add some basic details.
307
This pillar is white and tall.
308
It is white and tall.
309
Some other details you can add are color, size shape,
310
number, age and material the next thing you can do is say where it is this pillar
311
is on the outside of this square.
312
And there are many pillars on the outside of the square.
313
In some cases, you can say what it is doing.
314
This pillar is just supporting the structure.
315
If it was an animal, you can say what the animal is doing.
316
Then you can say how it looks or feels.
317
This pillar feels very stable.
318
Very stable.
319
So to describe things, you can just remember this.
320
what it is, What does it look like?
321
Where it is? what it's doing and what does it feel like or seem like.
322
Let's go.
323
Okay, so we're in another exhibition hall, and these right here are herbs and spices.
324
This is ginger.
325
Very popular cooking ingredient.
326
What's this?
327
Root.
328
And in English, depending on what country you live in, what country you're from, you say this word differently.
329
In some countries, I believe Australia, the UK, and even some parts of Canada, people say herbs.
330
They pronounce the whole word herbs herbs but in america
331
and some places in canada we say herbs
332
so we don't pronounce the h i'm not really sure why it's kind of weird
333
but herbs that's new to me but you can just say whatever you remember
334
and whatever you're comfortable with herbs or herbs people will understand you either way it's the same word
335
So we have now entered another exhibition that is showing us jewelry and gold.
336
Here you can see different types of necklaces, that they used to wear.
337
This one appears to be gold, but I don't think it is actually real gold.
338
Maybe it's just gold plated.
339
It could be real gold.
340
Does it look real?
341
It's thin enough.
342
But that looks like a different shade of gold too, so I don't know. Or that?
343
Those crowns, that one right there really looks fake.
344
That one on the right -hand side, that could look real.
345
What about this one?
346
That looks like bronze or like brass.
347
Oh, it is in English, too.
348
It doesn't say what it's made of.
349
Look at the details on this headpiece.
350
Wow.
351
There are many flowers and different types of ornaments.
352
It's got to make a noise when you walk.
353
Oh, yeah.
354
It's like a crown, no?
355
But it looks like something a woman would wear, no?
356
The bride's new life, so it is for a woman.
357
It kind of has like a feminine feel to it.
358
- Yeah, all the flowers and-- - Yeah, just in the way it comes down to like earrings.
359
- Yeah, it makes it look like hair.
360
Yeah.
361
We are outside of the museum now.
362
How would you describe this area outside the museum, Liam?
363
So first of all, I don't know if you can see on my face, but it is hot out here.
364
I'm sweating.
365
It was a little cloudy when we came in, right?
366
But now it's clearer.
367
Yeah, now there are only a few clouds in the sky, but not very many.
368
Yeah, so it's hot out here.
369
The sky is blue.
370
There's a few clouds.
371
And it is a little bit windy, actually, if we get out of this pit area.
372
There is a slight breeze.
373
But yeah, Leon was just saying the sky is blue.
374
There are some clouds over there.
375
Behind Leon, there are a bunch of trees.
376
And there are also buses.
377
That right there is a bus stop.
378
So there are buses over there.
379
This right here on the ground, this part, That is a great a great Here you have a path.
380
with stone and right beside it You can just see grass.
381
and a lot of mud.
382
It's very wet here.
383
You can see this is mud.
384
My This right here is the entrance to the museum.
385
This is kind of cool.
386
It kind of looks like a black hole.
387
Like a vortex.
388
Yeah, like something.
389
Like a whirlpool?
390
Whirlpool, yeah.
391
Actually, I think that's probably what it is.
392
You think so?
393
Because it looks like they're swimming.
394
Or it doesn't say whirlpool.
395
Oh, it's like something metaphorical, but literally looks like a whirlpool and people swimming in it.
396
- That reminds me of that ride at West Hampton Mall Water Park.
397
The toilet bowl.
398
- Oh yeah, the toilet bowl.
399
- That's what the toilet bowl feels like going down.
400
Just getting sucked into the middle.
401
- Literally.
402
And over here, we have the museum.
403
So this whole part on the outside is the museum.
404
You can see there are some benches there.
405
Right beside the benches, there is a trash bin, a recycling bin, and an organic bin.
406
You know what I think that is right there?
407
I think that's a bonsai tree.
408
Oh, you think so?
409
Yeah.
410
Maybe.
411
It doesn't look that well taken care of, but it might just be the species of plant that just grows like that.
412
- Yeah.
413
- If you're serious about becoming fluent in English.
414
I've built a full speaking and pronunciation course that shows you exactly what to do step by step.
415
You get instant access to 80 plus video lessons right away, and I add three to five brand new lessons every week so you can keep improving consistently.
416
And this is not just a course full of random videos.
417
You'll get an exclusive ChatGPT prompt that allows you to master the pronunciation of any word,
418
plus a clear practice structure so you always know exactly how to study, what to focus on, and how to make real progress.
419
Inside we work on pronunciation, accent, rhythm, and natural speaking.
420
So you can stop hesitating, sound more natural and speak English with real confidence.
421
Join today in the description.
422
And over there, you can see they have a sprinkler going.
423
So they are watering the lawn here.
424
The lawn at the front of the museum with the sprinkler.
425
So, I'm not sure if you guys remember from one of my previous videos, but this is how you ask someone politely to take a photo of you.
426
Yo.
427
Can you please take a photo of me as I stand in front of this vortex?
428
No problem.
429
Get me flicked up for that thumbnail.
430
- I should zoom in to get the optimal focal length.
431
- So now I am posing.
432
I'm posing.
433
Why don't you smile?
434
I don't smile.
435
But I'm posing I'm just changing my position.
436
and I'm sweating.
437
Dude, it has gotten a lot hotter.
438
I should have brought my umbrella.
439
What time is it right now?
440
It is 1 :00 p .m.
441
So yeah, after someone takes a photo for you, something nice you could say or offer is, would you like a photo?
442
So someone takes a photo, then I'll ask, oh, would you like a photo?
443
And if they say no, you can just say, okay, thank you very much, take your phone back, and then go on your way.
444
Anyways, that was just a quick tip on how to be polite in English.
445
Always say please, always say thank you.
446
Canadians say please, thank you a lot.
447
I assume most people do, although I'm not sure about Americans.
448
What did you guys think of the museum?
449
Did you like it?
450
Did you not like it?
451
In my opinion, it was a little small.
452
The museum was small, there wasn't a lot to see.
453
I felt like we could have seeing everything in like 20 minutes like Max, what do you think?
454

455
For a national museum, It was a little underwhelming, but...
456
Yeah, a little bit, but it wasn't bad.
457
I liked the prehistoric section where you saw the mammoth, Skeleton?
458
That was really beautiful.
459
It reminded me of the one we saw in Drumheller.

462
In Drumheller, Alberta, Canada.
463
It's one of the largest collections of dinosaur fossils in the world.
464
So we saw many, many mammoths there and really big ones too.
465
Overall though, not bad.
466
If I had to summarize it, I would say if you like museums, definitely come and check it out.
467
If you don't, you don't really need to, but I would come again if I never came before.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
