Let's get started.

Let's go.

Where are we heading to right now, Mo?

We're heading to Hong Kim Lake.

We're heading to a lake?

I think it's the most famous lake here no i think

it's called haong kim lake maybe i'm pronouncing it wrong

but i'm not sure i'm just gonna call it the lake

in the like historic center okay i got the names

so right now we're staying in the french quarter

which is uh on the east side of the lake

but right now we're just walking to the lake

because it's very beautiful we've already been here for one day

So mom, when did you arrive?

I arrived on Thursday evening after a 17, 18 hour flight.

And how was that flight?

Whoa, dude, that guy just started backing.

Did you see that?

I know.

Whoa, that guy just started backing up.

The flight was longer than last time when I went to South Korea.

It's pretty far to come to see you guys.

Yeah, it was a pretty long flight,

but it wasn't too bad.

You're not like very jet lagged.

No, I was fine yesterday because drank lots of water, electrolytes.

Yeah, no, that's good.

I know that flight is long and I really hate flying now for like extended periods of time.

Even if it's just an hour,

just doing everything, like going through the airport,

going through immigration, security, customs.

Takes a lot of time.

It takes so much time.

It's like, I would rather just stay in one place now and just like explore that place, you know?

But I have to say they're pretty organized in Asia.

Compared to Canada and North America,

it's way cleaner and organized.

I just feel that they care at the airports.

It's a nightmare flying in North America.

Yeah, one thing I will say,

like, every time I've been to the States,

the United States, man, terrible service.

I feel like everyone there is just really rude.

In a bad mood.

Everybody there is in a bad mood.

I don't know if it's everywhere,

but that's been my experience.

Okay, so we just stopped at this store right here,

and you know what they sell?

They sell ice cream.

Should we go and see what it is?

We're not sure.

We've been passing by this place and that place over there a lot.

So I think we're going to go ask now what they actually sell.

I'm pretty sure it's ice cream.

But one thing you can also see here is this road is closed.

So you can see there are police officers somewhere up there,

but they barricaded this road so that you can just walk here and there are no vehicles or cars or scooters.

Because normally this is a normal road where vehicles can drive,

but on the weekend you can't,

as you can see here.

Anyways, let's go try.

Hello, what's the original ice cream, the most popular one?

We got the ice cream.

I'm really not sure.

Rice flakes ice cream.

Okay, I guess that's the flavor.

That one I'm sure will be good.

I like mochi.

So this right here is an ice cream and it is wrapped in this plastic wrap.

100

And right now, can you guys tell me what I'm going to do?

101

So what did I just do?

102

I just tore the ice cream open and now I'm pulling the wrapper off.

103

So this is the ice cream.

104

This ice cream is like a lime green.

105

How would you describe this?

106

It's round.

107

It's round.

108

There's like some powder on it.

109

It's white.

110

This one is like lime, lime green.

111

Let's try it.

112

Is it good?

113

I like it when they're a little softer,

114

but I'll still try it like this.

115

Oh, that's hard.

116

I don't like matcha.

117

It's yummy.

118

There's not a lot of matcha in it.

119

That's a lot.

120

I love matcha.

121

I don't like matcha.

122

To me, matcha just tastes like grass.

123

Anyways, let's try this one.

124

Grab.

125

Oh, it's really like milky, no?

126

It's actually quite nice.

127

I do like this one.

128

So now we are in the middle of the street here.

129

These are all luxury brands across here.

130

And over there, you can see that is the lake.

131

And like I was saying,

132

these roads here, like around the lake,

133

are closed on the weekend.

134

So, today is Saturday and we're standing in the middle of the road.

135

What do you think of that?

136

I think it's great because it's very busy here.

137

It was super busy yesterday with all the bikes and the cars.

138

So, it's kind of nice.

139

Yeah, and it's so loud.

140

Yeah.

141

It's so loud with all like the sounds of like honking,

142

people driving, scooters, loud exhaust.

143

So it's nice to have this street closed so it's just quiet and you can just hear people.

144

Okay, so where are we now, Mom?

145

We're at the lake.

146

Correct.

147

So we're at the lake.

148

Here you can see we're both standing at the edge here.

149

And if we take another step forward,

150

we will fall into the lake.

151

Do you want to fall into the lake?

152

I would assume no. Maybe later.

153

This water is very green.

154

I would not want to fall in there.

155

Anyway, your shoes look very new.

156

Are they?

157

Yes.

158

There's too much snow in Canada,

159

so I couldn't break them in.

160

So, new shoes.

161

Are they comfortable?

162

Yes, this is my second pair, actually.

163

Oh, really?

164

Of the exact same shoes?

165

Of the exact same shoes.

166

It must be comfortable then.

167

Mm-hmm.

168

Anyways, you guys can see the lake here.

169

The sky today isn't very blue.

170

It's pretty much almost just pure white, right?

171

It's not blue.

172

But it's super bright bright yeah it is really bright that's one thing

173

when the sky is white like this it feels very bright

174

on your eyes like my eyes are kind of like half closed all the time

175

but you have sunglasses on yes i think sunglasses comes in

176

handy for real you have sunglasses on too i'm the only one without sunglasses

177

so i'm low-key cooked but i don't like the way sunglasses look

178

so yeah i am blind so i need glasses or contacts

179

but i don't have either of those on blind i wouldn't describe it as blind I would say.

180

I'm blind.

181

That's very dramatic.

182

Let's go for coffee.

183

Okay, we're gonna go now to get coffee at this really popular

184

and famous coffee shop that my mom wants to go to.

185

What is it?

186

What kind of coffee?

187

It's coconut coffee.

188

The specialty is coconut coffee,

189

so I haven't tried that yet.

190

I had two coffees yesterday,

191

but not a coconut coffee.

192

Coconut specialty that we need to try.

193

We need to try coconut coffee.

194

Let's go.

195

Okay, so now we're walking to the cafe, right?

196

Yes, we're going to go to the cafe.

197

Let me see.

198

So we're walking to the cafe and here we're walking on the sidewalk.

199

This street is not closed.

200

There are just no vehicles,

201

but the street is open.

202

And I really like the way the buildings and sidewalk looks in Vietnam, don't you?

203

Like, I like how they have their flag out and like all these buildings in the old quarter look really nice.

204

And they have like cafes and everything.

205

It's historical buildings with their French influence.

206

That's just absolutely beautiful.

207

Yeah, it looks really nice.

208

Also like unique boutique shops and like small little stores that sell like really niche things.

209

I like it.

210

Right now we're crossing the street and you can see it's very hectic and busy.

211

Like although we have the green light to pass it's still busy.

212

And a lot of the times it feels like those scooters are just going to hit us.

213

Right mom?

214

They're just coming from all directions.

215

Yeah because we have like the light that says we can walk but then scooters are coming to the side so.

216

Yes.

217

And they don't stop.

218

They don't stop.

219

Usually, you know, in Canada and other countries,

220

the vehicle has to wait until the person crosses and then they can go.

221

But here...

222

No, here, no. Here, I try to line up with you or Leon that if they hit somebody,

223

they're going to hit you guys first.

224

Fair enough.

225

Yeah, it's not for the weak.

226

No, definitely not.

227

And the vehicles park on the sidewalk here.

228

Like, look at all these vehicles parked along the sidewalk.

229

It's kind of crazy.

230

But I do really like this style.

231

Like, all these shops with their signs up top.

240

And they have very beautiful, tall trees here, too.

241

I like it.

242

It's a very tropical kind of climate.

243

I wonder if the whole city looks like this when you walk.

244

Like, nice shops on the side, beautiful trees, clean.

245

What do you think?

246

Yeah, I've seen some parts of the city that does not look like that.

247

Well, I'm sure not every part looks like this, but the majority?

248

Overall, I think it's a really beautiful city, Hanoi.

249

So far, yeah.

250

It's just the buildings and the greenery and everything combined.

251

It's beautiful.

252

Yeah, it's my second time in Hanoi.

253

The first time I ever came to Vietnam was three years ago.

254

And I saw the whole country,

255

but this is my second time.

256

My first time, and this was my choice.

257

I wanted to come to Vietnam.

258

What other countries do you want to go to in Asia?

259

China.

260

China?

261

I want to go to China.

262

Where else?

263

I think everybody goes to Thailand.

264

I don't know if I want to go to Thailand.

265

Haven't you been?

266

Many, many years ago.

267

How long ago?

268

Maybe 30 years ago.

269

Like, it's a long time ago.

270

Wait, for what?

271

Just to travel?

272

Yeah.

273

I did Singapore, Hong Kong,

274

and I did Bangkok and some surrounding areas.

275

I loved Singapore.

276

I really liked Singapore, yeah.

277

But it's expensive.

278

Yeah, it's very expensive.

279

I mean, if you're from Singapore, let me know.

280

You're probably not from Singapore,

281

because I know people in Singapore speak very good English.

282

It's like the first language, so but

283

if you've been let me know i've been too it's really nice

284

but i've only been for like one day i was just there for one day

285

because i had a stopover

286

when i was flying to greece from japan yeah we're almost at the coffee shop

287

and uh we'll see you guys there

288

so where are we mom we're at the coffee shop

289

291

name right here this is like a really popular chain in vietnam

292

so i know it's uh i know you guys This chain is everywhere.

293

I've seen it a lot.

294

It comes from their history.

295

It's kind of historical.

296

What is this one?

297

It's like the ice cream you had earlier.

298

It's really good, though.

299

What is it called?

300

Literally rice something.

301

Okay, this is called rice something,

302

and we're gonna try it.

303

You can see it's white.

304

The one I got is coconut and cacao.

305

This one is brown.

306

Let's try Leon's first.

307

It's good.

308

Did you try it?

309

I did try it.

310

It's actually really good.

311

That's really good, actually.

312

That's my favorite one.

313

It's exactly like rice pudding.

314

What's this one?

315

This is coconut iced coffee.

316

Coconut iced coffee.

317

And I love coffee.

318

It's good.

319

I like it because the coffee isn't overbearing.

320

No. And then my one, cacao and coconut.

321

And these are all frappes.

322

That just means it's all blended up,

323

the ice and everything together.

324

They don't leave the ice in big chunks.

325

Why do they call it an iced cup?

326

I think it's just a term,

327

like just a branding term.

328

In Canada, That's very good to them.

329

At Tim Hortons, which is like the biggest coffee chain in Canada,

330

they call it drinks like these,

331

Like frappes, they call them ice caps.

332

It's very relaxing, huh?

333

Really relaxing.

334

It's such a nice vibe.

335

We'll show you our view in a second here,

336

but they also gave us water in these metal cups.

337

Can you tell me the difference between these two?

338

This right here is a cup.

339

Cups could also be made out of any type of material.

340

When it's made out of glass,

341

you call it a glass.

342

So this is a glass.

343

This is a cup.

344

Now let's show you guys the view.

345

So this is our view here at Kong Cafe.

346

It's really nice actually.

347

You get to see all the scooters and vehicles and we get to sit here enjoying our coffee.

348

Well, I didn't get coffee, but enjoying our drink.

349

The coconut coffee is really delicious,

350

but this is not really the first cup of coffee in the morning.

351

This is more like a dessert, so.

352

Yeah, that's why I like it.

353

I don't like coffee, but I like this.

354

My drink is amazing.

355

I gave it like a 7.7 out of 10.

356

What about your drink?

357

What do you give it?

358

10. 10?

359

Yeah, it's really good.

360

So far, my favorite coffee Coffee is being desalted coffee in Vietnam.

361

Vietnamese coffee is like really, really strong.

362

We had egg coffee yesterday and we didn't record it.

363

We were just chilling, but man,

364

I could just eat the whipped egg on top.

365

That's delicious, but the coffee, man, is so strong.

366

So strong, dude.

367

I cannot.

368

I'm not a coffee person.

369

I don't like coffee, but there are a lot of people that love coffee.

370

I think next time I'll definitely get what Leon had.

371

Let's learn a couple of words here.

372

This is a glass.

373

This is a spoon.

374

This is a paper straw.

375

Leon has a plastic straw, a plastic straw.

376

This is a paper straw.

377

Here we have a mug.

378

This is a mug because it has a handle.

379

This is a cup because it doesn't have a handle.

380

And there are napkins in the mug.

381

This is for your cigarette ash.

382

So it's an ashtray.

383

This is a cup.

384

The cup is filled with water,

385

not to the brim, but it is filled.

386

I'm sitting on a small balcony,

387

looking down at the row below.

388

In front of me, there are many motorbikes parked along the sidewalk.

389

Across the street, people are moving around,

390

riding scooters, walking and going about their day.

391

The tall green trees stretch over the road,

392

creating a soft, natural canopy.

393

Their branches hang above the street,

394

and the leaves make the area feel cooler and more peaceful.

395

Behind the trees, there are buildings, cafes and small shops.

396

Everything feels peaceful, but alive.

397

You can see movement, hear the traffic,

398

and feel the rhythm of everyday life.

399

It is not too loud or too chaotic, but steady and real.

400

I am just sitting here,

401

quietly observing, enjoying the moment,

402

and taking it all in.

403

We're in this ceramics shop.

404

I was wondering what this is.

405

And it's a chopstick rest.

406

Chopstick rest.

407

This one is in the shape of a fish,

408

and this one is in the shape of a cat.

409

So cute.

410

This is like a nice little shop.

411

This is what I was talking about.

412

Like, I just love the vibe because there are

413

so many of these like small little hole in the wall shops that are really unique and just focus on one thing.

414

These are very light.

415

They're light.

416

They're not heavy they're light and they're pretty nice i mean the inside is really dirty

417

but you can just clean that

418

and each of these mugs have uh like some sort of

419

drawing on them bro is this a frog got a frog

420

this is the price 175 000 vietnamese don boy this is

421

actually funny this looks like some adventure time stuff does it

422

not this is like reminding me of adventure time have you

423

guys seen adventure time we are now in one of the back rooms of this pottery shop

424

and this place is actually huge we've been through a couple rooms now

425

and look there's still more like there are just walls of mugs small plates big plates bowls

426

and everything there is just a lot to see you have these like very small cups this costs 65 000

427

and i like how every cup has a design it's really very cute.

428

Oh, here are some proper mugs.

429

Oh yeah, some mugs.

430

It's really nice.

431

These ones are nice, but they're more heavy-duty,

432

thicker compared to those ones there.

433

Let me grab one that's more delicate.

434

Yeah, this right here is quite thin,

435

but this one is a lot thicker and heavy-duty.

436

This one doesn't have any like handle.

437

It's just like a cup,

438

but they do have mugs too.

439

Do you like this store?

440

I like it.

441

I wish it was easier to transport ceramics,

442

but it's a hard souvenir to buy and to take with

443

because it's very fragile very fragile like these plates can easily break i can feel them there are quite thin

444

and they just feel very fragile

445

so they can break easily right yes that's why you can't travel with them this one's nice too i wonder

446

if they made this probably oh you can also go upstairs

447

i see someone going up the stairs let's go go

448

and have a look here they have just a sofa for

449

you to chill after looking at all of this i like this one this one's pretty cool

450

but they just have shelves and shelves and walls of these

451

so these are really uh good souvenirs to buy they're coasters

452

and these ones would be easier to to transport yeah

453

because they're flat right yes they are flat let's go upstairs yes let's do it

454

and you can see here it just goes keeps on going

455

and there's another room over there it's just so much it's got chickens on oh wow this This is huge.

456

So big.

457

You should take that one.

458

I like that.

459

I like it big.

460

I don't think it'll fit in your suitcase.

461

No, probably have to wear it as a hat.

462

Let's go upstairs.

463

So now we're on the second floor and there's just a lot more.

464

Dude, I wonder how many years it took to make all of this.

465

This probably took like dozens of years, no?

466

You can show here in the back.

467

It does say it's made in Vietnam.

468

Oh, that's nice.

469

Yeah, on all of them.

470

Anyway, this shop is absolutely massive.

471

So the material, all the stuff here is made out of is called ceramic.

472

So the material is called ceramic.

473

So these are all ceramic mugs.

474

I want to show you this.

475

So here I found this one in Spanish.

476

It says, A sweet way to change the world.

477

Yes.

478

Isn't that weird?

479

Yeah, I guess you put like some sort of sweet snack on there or your tea or something.

480

Yeah, that's really cute.

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.
