give you two cheese cheese.

Can you eat măm thơm?

Măm thơm?

What is măm thơm?

This is măm thơm, one of the special sauce in Vietnam.

What is it made with?

It smells kind of gross.

Really?

I think it's wonderful.

It's a wonderful kind of special Vietnamese sauce.

Like fish sauce.

Okay.

How do you smell?

Yeah, because I've been living in Vietnam for about three years, and I'm always like taken back.

I'm shocked with certain things.

I can never get used to it.

With even food?

Yes, with food.

So today, we are going to talk about culture shock.

Culture shock, the difference between Western and Vietnamese culture, and the things that are very surprising.

Thum thum.

Ugh, gay wah.

It's soft.

Viet, what do you call this?

Trung vi lộ Trung...

Trung, you go up there with Trung Trung?

And go down with Viet and lộ Viet lộ Like upside down Okay, so this you would say is maybe a big culture shock for a lot of foreigners

But in English you would call this a baby duck fetus

So fetus is a baby but inside the person So is this quite common in Vietnam?

It's one of the comfort food in Vietnam that I'm very very in love with Yeah, so a comfort food is a food that you usually go to when you're hungry and it makes you feel happy.

But as a foreigner, many foreigners would be grossed out or creeped out with this.

Be grossed out, creeped out.

It's like a strange Kila feeling.

But does this gross you out or creep you out?

No, it turned me on like I love it.

Really?

Yeah, I don't know why so many foreigners get creeped out when they see this.

Yeah, I first tried this in California with my VQ friends.

Wow, they have it in Carnivaling.

Yeah, where like the Vietnamese communities or Vietnamese markets, you can get it.

So it's not a problem.

So after eating this, what do you want to do?

We're gonna head out for some iced tea.

Would it be okay for you?

I will love it.

Iced tea?

Ding Viet, how do you say iced tea?

Chà-da.

Okay.

Chà-da.

Okay.

But I think you need to eat up and then we'll get going.

Yeah.

Comfort food is a food that you may eat that makes you feel very happy, special and like a homey feeling, like you're at home.

So for example, many Vietnamese may find chung viet lòng, a comfort food.

It's something on the street and reminds you of Vietnam and it makes you feel very happy and comfortable.

Yeah, coming on.

Yeah.

Okay, thanks, Viet. So, Jada?

It's something very common in Vietnam, too. In Vietnam? In Vietnam.

Very cheap.

Tasted.

It's okay.

It's a little strong, though.

Yeah, so very common.

Cheers, do you guys say cheers or 1,2,3, or 100%, 1,100%, okay, not for jada.

Yeah, because, you know, in Ho Chi Minh, where I live, we do have jada, but we don't have a lot of, it's not like Hanoi.

In Hanoi, it's everywhere, but in Ho Chi Minh, often coffee.

People always say, jada, Hanoi.

Yeah, so it's recognized.

Ho Chi Minh is recognized for coffee in Hanoi for cha da.

Okay, so maybe it's like an iconic, iconic drink.

Something that's iconic is something that's gonna be famous or recognized for.

Because I know the song Saigon Cafe Sua Da and then...

Okay, yeah, so it's very big.

How do you translate it into English?

The song, cha da pi a ha?

I have no idea.

Iconic.

Something that is iconic is something that's maybe famous or it sticks out.

It's easy to see and it's really well known.

So for example, maybe chung viet lồng is an iconic food in Vietnam.

Or maybe nực măm is an iconic food in Vietnam because it's so popular and Vietnam is known for these foods.

How much money do I make a month?

Yeah.

See that's my culture.

That's a bit touchy.

You know I have to adapt.

I live here so I have to accept your culture.

Because now in Vietnam it's like me, hey, how much money do you make?

Do you have a girlfriend?

Why aren't you married?

So I just ask Vietnamese this now.

Do you know what to beat around the bush?

The bush?

Yeah, so to beat around the bush, this is an idiom where you have to speak maybe indirect

100

because the opposite is being direct or you could say blunt

101

because Westerners can be very blunt but it depends on what you're talking about.

102

So to beat around the bush.

103

So to beat something is to hurt something and a bush is a plant.

104

To beat around the bush means not to be direct about something.

105

When direct, you're speaking very straight.

106

So for example, maybe you're very shy to ask your parents or your boss something very important.

107

So you may beat around the bush.

108

So you're scared to ask them.

109

So you speak like this rather than this.

110

So to beat around the bush.

111

What are you doing?

112

I'm just drinking coffee.

113

Why?

114

We're just drinking coffee.

115

Why do you need a selfie?

116

I just want to keep the memory, the good ones, while we're here.

117

You know, I often see Vietnamese very invested in social media and taking pictures and pictures.

118

Invested in?

119

Yeah, so to be invested is to spend maybe a lot of time very involved with something.

120

So yeah, I see Vietnamese often very invested in pictures and social media and online things.

121

I think nowadays a lot of teenagers and even adults, we are spending time invested in social media,

122

photos and sharing our life a little too much.

123

Yeah.

124

Okay.

125

Now for me moving to Vietnam, I've invested more time into social media.

126

But Western culture, something's very different from Vietnamese.

127

So it's a bit of a culture shock for me

128

when I see all the selfies and selfies and selfies and selfies and selfies.

129

Now that you say I invested a little bit more, less time for social media.

130

Yeah, we'll see.

131

We'll see.

132

But no problem.

133

It's okay.

134

Because this is Vietnam.

135

So you guys do whatever you want.

136

It's no problem.

137

And I have to learn your culture.

138

Yeah.

139

The good one.

140

To be invested in something, that means to be maybe occupied with, involved with, doing something a lot.

141

So for example, when I was in school I was very invested into nutrition

142

and health and fitness and biochemistry because I was invested into this to learn more.

143

So I spent a lot of time doing it.

144

Justin, how do you feel about this coffee?

145

Coffee?

146

Coffee?

147

Like compared to Starbucks, something really popular in the West?

148

Yeah.

149

Vietnamese coffee, it's fine.

150

It's not a lot, it's very small amounts.

151

But it's very cheap.

152

It is cheap, but in the West we just often drink Starbucks.

153

Starbucks.

154

Starbucks is like a really cheap coffee to get in the US.

155

In here, Starbucks is considered something very fancy.

156

Fancy?

157

and fabulous like for people to come in and and

158

and share to the world

159

that i have a couple stuff up here like hey not everyone having it you know what i mean yeah

160

because in the us it's different we just pop in

161

and pop out pop in and pop out yeah to pop in

162

and pop out means to go in very fast

163

and come out really fast

164

so often for coffees in the us we just pop in get a coffee

165

and pop out we just go let's pop in pop out go in

166

and out real quick because in the us maybe like one coffee we do like haimlinge

167

so it's dirt cheap it's really really really cheap

168

so it's dirt cheap so

169

if something is dirt cheap it means it's like free it's very very cheap

170

but starbucks coffee in the u.s is dirt cheap

171

because i often see sometimes on facebook people taking pictures of like mcdonald's

172

or like kfc and mcdonald's vietnamese sometimes say it a little different but mcdonald's mcdonald's Fast food in the US is very,

173

very, very cheap.

174

McDonald's is, we would say, like a poor man's food.

175

A poor man's food is for poor people.

176

So McDonald's is very, very, very, very, very cheap.

177

Poor man's food.

178

I don't think we're the price in Vietnam.

179

To pop in and pop out.

180

It means to go in and out very fast.

181

So, for example, drinking coffee in Western countries like United States, California.

182

I may just pop into Starbucks and pop out.

183

So I just go and pop in and pop out.

184

That means I go in and I come out very fast.

185

So another example, it's like I go to McDonald's.

186

I just pop in and pop out.

187

I get something very fast, in and out.

188

So in this episode of Culture Shock, is such a confusing language.

189

It's hard to wrap my mind around this.

190

Wrap your mind, wrap your head and you don't understand what is happening.

191

Because this language is very different from English.

192

And I want to give you some examples of Ding Viet practicing.

193

So here, I don't know what this means, but Ming.

194

Another kind of noodle. So noodle.

195

Trưng.

196

Egg.

197

Egg.

198

Zadò.

199

Zadò.

200

Nước mâm.

201

Fish.

202

Dòi.

203

Garlic.

204

Oat.

205

Chilli.

206

Chăn.

207

Lemon.

208

Gia đỏ Nước mâm Fish Garlic Chân With Vietnamese, this language is tonal.

209

I mentioned earlier, it's hard to wrap my mind around it, but tonal, in English, we don't really think about going up and down and all the marks with English.

210

But you must, because if not, you mispronounce things.

211

I know because sometimes, learning a new language is hard.

212

learning Vietnamese is even harder because I found it completely confusing for foreigners like you with the pronouns.

213

Yeah, because when I first started learning it drove me up the wall.

214

If something drives you up the wall you get so so angry and so annoyed.

215

You're going up a wall.

216

So did English drive you up the wall when you learned English?

217

A little bit, a little bit actually when I first learned English.

218

However, I love English.

219

I love the cultural and the language so I get into myself a little bit easier.

220

Okay.

221

For you, is it like a piece of cake?

222

Not a piece of cake.

223

A piece of cake is something very easy to learn, but at Tinh Viet, no, it's hard to wrap my mind around it and at times it drives me up the wall.

224

I get so frustrated and so annoyed.

225

To wrap your mind around, to wrap your head around.

226

That means it's difficult to maybe understand.

227

So for example, if you're Vietnamese and you've never gone to a country where it's cold with a lot of snow,

228

it's very difficult to wrap your mind around living in snow, or wrap your head around living in snow, because you've always lived in Vietnam.

229

It's difficult to understand.

230

You want to test me right now?

231

Yeah.

232

So he's going to test me on the tones.

233

On the tone because if you change it, only the tonal, then the meaning of it is completely different.

234

I know.

235

I've had some terrible mistakes like nôi bài on accident.

236

I said very bad words because my pronunciation is wrong.

237

Yeah, say for example, you say ma.

238

Ma.

239

Ma.

240

Ma.

241

Ma.

242

Ma like a ghost.

243

Ma.

244

Ma.

245

Hanoi.

246

Con ma, con ma like a ghost.

247

Okay

248

and you go up a little bit with the tonal you

249

say ma ma ma okay ma mother mother mother what is ma ma ma

250

so but but it's hard to wrap my mind around this right now

251

and then striving up the wall a little bit ma young

252

rice matt okay what about ma ma uh another way to say a heart and ma Maa.

253

Maa.

254

Okay, and then the one with the question mark.

255

The question mark.

256

Maa.

257

Maa.

258

A grape.

259

Ugh, so difficult.

260

It's driving me up the wall.

261

It's hard to wrap my mind around this. So okay.

262

A word, five different total.

263

Five different meanings.

264

I know.

265

But English, one word, as many tones as you want, same meaning.

266

Same meaning.

267

It doesn't matter.

268

It's the same meaning.

269

So it's not a piece of cake.

270

This is something that's...

271

Oh, learning languages.

272

I know.

273

Practice makes perfect.

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.
