63
It's a bug.
64
It's a software bug.
65
Opa! Did you say Opa?
66
Yeah, it's a Brazilian phrase, but I know it's Bulgarian.
67
We use it, yes, and I'm like, you know that word.
68
You know Bulgarian.
69
That's so interesting because I've heard it in Brazil, I mean, not for the first time, but I've heard it probably, I had never used it before,
70
but in Brazil, we were passing by the main street in Sao Paulo
71
and we were walking through with the camera and there was a Brazilian guy who was like, Opa, Americano.
72
Opa.
73
Opa, Brazilian.
74
No, I haven't been there, but it sounds so fun meeting new people and cultures and getting knowledge like you have lived in there.
75
Oh yeah.
76
How many days do you usually visit?
77
Well, it depends.
78
I got stuck in Brazil for three months because it was amazing.
79
You must find solid ground or we'll get stuck.
80
How do you afford this?
81
I run a couple of businesses.
82
One of them is called CodeMify.
83
It's a tech bootcamp where we teach people how to become machine learning engineers, software QA engineers.
84
Now I can actually sign up in there.
85
Sure.
86
I'm still sitting, so.
87
Nice.
88
And a second business is the one that we are developing right now.
89
And this channel is a part of it.
90
FoxU is a platform that I opened for people from this channel right here.
91
It's a platform that connects people around the world to practice English speaking.
92
Actually, I've been thinking about English, how to use it, like work, except from teaching, probably.
93
But something else, something like that's far more reachable for people like yours.
94
That's really cool, because we have people from more than 130 countries around the world.
95
Every time you can talk to a different person from Brazil, from Japan.
96
And if you guys want to join us, it's completely free.
97
The link for it is right here or right below this video.
98
What's your favorite thing about Sofia?
99
I think the urban life.
100
The problem is when a completely urban life shuts you off from the ecological resources that sustain the life you have.
101
The nightlife.
102
The nightlife.
103
Oh, wow.
104
Tell me about the nightlife in Sofia.
105
Sofia doesn't sleep, especially the center of the city and the students.
106
Oh, the students.
107
That's like the most student district in Sofia, right?
108
Yeah.
109
So I'm a student engagement coach slash behavior coach for a school district.
110
You can go, for example, I'm going to go to the cinema at 10.20.
111
Oh, wow.
112
And it's going to finish in, I don't know, 12.
113
Yeah.
114
In the middle of the night.
115
And after that we can go to a bar
116
or to a disco or if not we can take a walk in the middle of the center.
117
And it's okay.
118
I also don't think it's that dangerous.
119
It's super safe by the way.
120
Yes, I haven't really...
121
I have been scared from time to time from homeless people.
122
Victoria does b borrow my designs from time to time.
123
But this is probably the most scary thing.
124
Yeah, I think it's remarkably safe in Sofia compared to almost any other city in the European Union.
125
Within it, the chicks remarkably can maintain their body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius.
126
Like a little old church.
127
Yeah, this is the oldest church in Sofia.
128
Look at that tiny door.
129
That's cool.
130
This is a window, actually.
131
It's a window?
132
Yeah.
133
To the window!
134
Wow!
135
Wow.
136
Oh wow.
137
Yes, this was suddenly found like 10 years ago, I think.
138
We didn't know about this.
139
Yeah, it's a little city.
140
Let's read about it.
141
1,000 square meters.
142
First to third century can also be seen.
143
Whoa, that's crazy.
144
So it's like 2,000 years young.
145
Yeah, these are part of the walls of the rooms, I think.
146
What do people do in this room?
147
Because it doesn't even look like a room,
148
to be honest like a little space with no door big bath maybe it was a big bath holy
149
yeah it's beautiful holy pigeons right there holy pigeons yeah
150
but does it look slavic at all i would say like it's like moroccan
151
or algerian or something based on a color scheme no it is uh the Romanian before used to have these bats.
152
This looks pretty dang old that's definitely greek second to third century
153
a.d council of elders played with list of the members of
154
gerosia what is gerosia i think it's a romanian i'm not quite sure
155
but the roman empire yeah it looks roman or greek it's
156
so beautiful many Many artists come here to draw the building
157
and I have also seen students from the university of archaeology to draw that building.
158
But it's gorgeous.
159
If you look at the design of this building.
160
Are you pretty or beautiful?
161
Gorgeous.
162
So you said that you went through some rough patches of your life.
163
What helped you to get out of it?
164
I know we've been through a lot of rough patches in our lives.
165
Well, many people have told me I'm a strong person, in spirit.
166
I haven't noticed that until they told me.
167
But, like I have no choice, you know?
168
When life sucks, you have to get up and you have to do it.
169
And usually, in the most difficult times, I smile the most and I laugh even.
170
And they're like, are you okay?
171
When I'm like that and they're like, something's not okay.
172
So when you're smiling a lot, things are not okay.
173
Right now it's not like that.
174
I usually smile also.
175
Nice.
176
In good times as well.
177
Yeah, you've been smiling since we met today.
178
I'm like, you're definitely a smiley person.
179
Yeah, thank you.
180
Well, I'm also happy to exchange cultures and to tell you something.
181
So, I don't know.
182
I think I enjoy life a lot.
183
Nice.
184
No matter what happens, enjoy the small things also.
185
Yeah, that's pretty cool.
186
For example, if I'm alone at home because I don't have brothers or sisters, And I just play some music and dance and I'm like, oh, I don't care.
187
Nice.
188
It's so nice that I get to do that now.
189
Yeah.
190
What kind of music are you into?
191
He's a big music guy too.
192
Oh, really?
193
What are you into?
194
I listen to pop.
195
I also listen sometimes to chauga.
196
What kind of music?
197
Chauga, have you heard?
198
Chauga?
199
No, what is it?
200
Oh, you haven't heard.
201
It is like a traditional Bulgarian music.
202
Now we're going by the way to the secret spot.
203
To the secret spot.
204
Yeah.
205
I'm intrigued.
206
I'm intrigued. And that never happens.
207
It looks like a palace inside of a palace.
208
It's kind of cute here already.
209
Yeah, it is exactly the parliament in here.
210
It's besides that.
211
I actually haven't come from this entrance.
212
I have come from the other side.
213
I think it's on the other side as well.
214
But let's check it out.
215
I actually haven't seen it from here.
216
We're going to sneak through.
217
If we close, we would sneak through the back door.
218
We would make ourselves ice cream.
219
I'm going to show you another spot.
220
Let's do it.
221
That's coming from there.
222
And we're going to...
223
Oh, shit.
224
Oh, are you okay?
225
Yeah.
226
Okay, we're going to go from there.
227
We're going to cross underground.
228
Sure.
229
Since I was a kid, I remember once upon a time, I've twisted my ankle like this so pretty much it went 90 degree.
230
What happened?
231
You alright?
232
No, I think I twisted my ankle.
233
You wanna say hi to everybody?
234
Hi!
235
I've always had a complex about being short.
236
Oh wow.
237
So the thing is, tall people usually they have problems with their spine, with their back.
238
Yeah, of course I have that.
239
So for short people it's much easier to live a life.
240
There we go!
241
Come on girl, you're a model!
242
Look at yourself!
243
I enjoy myself too much.
244
I agree with you.
245
I also, I definitely agree with that.
246
It's nice to watch yourself and to be like, how can I fix my hair?
247
What can I do now?
248
Yeah.
249
It's like a hobby, another hobby.
250
Exactly.
251
People should love themselves.
252
That's the most important thing.
253
Actually, I've learned that in a really hard way.
254
Didn't listen to my advice, but sometimes got learned the hard way, I guess.
255
Many years I have been like, I'm not enough i'm not good enough i'm not really quite the who told you
256
that well i don't know maybe from childhood maybe maybe from classmates who knows
257
and when i've been growing up like in the last few years i started to believe in myself much more
258
and it helped me to improve myself even
259
when i watch in the mirror
260
and i'm like you know what i'm i'm okay i'm pretty no no you're not okay Hey girl, you're beautiful.
261
You're gorgeous, You're not okay.
262
Thank you.
263
Just like in ancient Sofia.
264
Oh my gosh.
265
Can you imagine?
266
Yes, this is part of the subway.
267
Yeah, Sofia is beautiful.
268
The most fascinating thing for me in Sofia is that mountain right there.
269
Fascinating.
270
Absolutely fascinating.
271
If we sit down, we'll see mountains right there.
272
We will see mountains right here, which is crazy.
273
We are surrounded by mountains, by the way, in Sofia.
274
We have Vythussham Mountain, we have Lulin Mountain.
275
I'm from the Lulin Square, not from the mountain, but like this is a neighborhood called Lulin.
276
And it's close to Lulin Mountain.
277
And we usually can go and have a climbing, as well as a beautiful view.
278
Do you climb?
279
Yeah.
280
No way!
281
I actually came back from climbing a week ago.
282
You're a climber!
283
That's cool! engineer, model, climber, what else are you?
284
You're like a Swiss knife.
285
I kind of describe myself as like a Swiss army knife.
286
That's insane.
287
I'm not sure if you can see goosebumps on my skin right now.
288
The hair is pretty much rising.
289
I can imagine how old it is.
290
I can imagine people living here thousands of years ago.
291
You know how locals in Sofia talk to each other?
292
Brat, Brat, Brat.
293
Oh yeah, like a brother.
294
Yeah, their life.
295
I've recorded a video on my TikTok.
296
By the way, guys, if you want to have a little more fun in your life, here is my TikTok and here is my Instagram.
297
And I recorded a video, it was one of my first videos in Bulgaria.
298
And I was like, hey, Bulgarians, I've been to several countries, I've been to 34 countries, and every country has some very popular phrases.
299
Like in Uruguay they say, vamos arriba! uh in poland is in poland they say
300
which is a fun phrase i'm just kidding
301
and in here we are no i just love
302
because i was thinking what we do there's different greetings to i guess between girls
303
and boys like girls are like and a hug
304
and boys are like hey brad post our it
305
and then the sick that's funny yeah let me ask you one question
306
because usually during every video i tell people to share something about their country okay
307
and if when we get more than 400 comments i randomly pick a comment
308
and i send 100 to a person
309
so what would you like to know about people from more
310
than 130 countries around the world one thing about each country yeah well it's funny
311
but i want to know the taxes the taxes yeah oh that's cool
312
so how much tax do they pay right yeah like what's
313
the price to live in there is it equivalent to the working
314
and to the payment yeah to the jobs yes that's something
315
that i would mostly be interested if i go to live in somewhere That's great, that's very specific.
316
Let's ask them, how much tax do you pay?
317
For example, I'm a US citizen.
318
So even if I don't live in the US, I still have to pay US taxes.
319
Like I've been traveling throughout the world this year.
320
Throughout the world, other whale species also form societies.
321
I spent two months in the US only, or one month so far.
322
I'll still have to pay tax for the rest of the
323
year i'll pay approximately 30 to 35 percent of what i make yeah
324
that sounds like to actually do you know
325
that in bulgaria we usually complain about taxes and politician
326
and corruption i'm realizing how much i complain about my job
327
but we actually i think is because we have many things
328
that we are grateful enough for yeah for example we have the lowest taxes
329
and this beauty also that's true so So let's actually finish it.
330
Guys, let us know how much tax do you pay in
331
your country by leaving a comment right below this video and putting your country and a percentage of tax.
332
And as soon as we get 400 comments, I'm going to send $100 to one of you, just like I did on this video right here.
333
If the whole world could see you right now
334
and you could tell them one thing you always wanted to share with the whole world.
335
Okay.
336
What would you share?
337
What would you say?
338
I would say that no matter what happens in life, life is always worth it.
339
And keep on living it, and keep on believing that something better is coming.
340
Hell yeah!
341
Thank you guys.

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.
