Pratica di Shadowing: I Tested Free Hotel Breakfasts - Impara a parlare inglese con i video
Creazione lezione...
1
The only thing I love more than breakfast is free breakfast.
2
Hotels know this about our brains.
3
Doesn't matter if it's a $10 hotel or 10 ,000.
4
Humans see free breakfast and feel like we're getting a steal.
5
However, some hotels exploit this trick and scam you with bad breakfast.
6
That's exactly why I made the waffle of trust.
7
In this video, I'm trying five levels of hotel breakfast to see which one is the most trustworthy.
8
You know what time it is.
9
This will make sense in like two seconds.
10
Good morning.
11
We'll be right back.
12
I thought that would be a neat way to transition to the first hotel.
13
Last night, I checked into the cheapest hotel in my city that also has a complimentary breakfast.
14
It was actually really nice and a good value.
15
There was an otter on TV.
16
Or a beaver.
17
I don't know.
18
What animal that is.
19
I will say that when I walked in I had to confirm that there would be breakfast at all.
20
Is that where the breakfast gonna be in the morning?
21
Yes.
22
Okay, right there.
23
Okay.
24
Based on the photos online, it is a grab and go breakfast.
25
Looks like there's some oatmeal, some muffins, granola bars, also a coffee station.
26
Don't talk to me until I've had my coffee.
27
There are lots of complaints online, lots of one star reviews that if you don't show up to the breakfast first thing in the morning, pretty much everything's gone.
28
No muffins, no oatmeal.
29
No coffee.
30
Breakfast stops serving at 9 a .m.
31
It's currently 8 :48, which means the waffle of trust is about to have a reckoning.
32
I don't really know what that means, but it sounds cool.
33
My room is quite literally a 10 -second walk to the lobby.
34
There's a dog.
35
There's a dog in here.
36
That's good.
37
When I got in line for breakfast, the front desk lady had some choice words for me in my award.
38
Is that a walking show?
39
Oh, yeah.
40
I love it!
41
I am flattered, I'll admit it, but don't worry.
42
I won't let that sway my opinion on who gets the award.
43
This looks pretty identical to the online photos.
44
Muffins, granola bars, it's all here.
45
Boom!
46
I poured myself a cup of piping hot coffee, threw some grits in my cup, the hot water is boiling, that's good news.
47
Also, cannot forget the packaged breakfast items.
48
And all of this comes out to a value of about $7, which makes up a decent chunk of the hotel room.
49
Waffle of trust, fans.
50
I am now in the parking lot.
51
It is a grab -and -go breakfast, so they don't have a seating area, so I decided to go outside and kind of just...
52
sit down.
53
Yes, I'm by the hotel dumpster, it's okay.
54
There are two things that must be acknowledged.
55
Number one, I arrived to the complimentary hotel breakfast with 10 minutes to spare, and they literally had everything in stock.
56
I got a blueberry muffin, apple cinnamon, Nutri -Grain bar, a hot coffee, I spilled a little trying to get that shot you just watched, and even some grits.
57
I got pretty much everything I came for, so I'm impressed.
58
You might be thinking, Ryan, this is level one, you can't just be impressed on level 1.
59
It's complimentary.
60
The breakfast was free.
61
It's included in my stay.
62
But you're right.
63
I can't say this place was absolutely perfect until I've actually eaten the food.
64
First up, the coffee.
65
Those are the grits.
66
That was the grits right there.
67
It wasn't bad, I just wasn't expecting it.
68
That's good black coffee.
69
Guys, I started drinking black coffee more often.
70
I feel like an adult man. And lastly, the grits.
71
I think I might have put too much water in here.
72
Not gonna lie, I keep getting whiffs of something from this dumpster that is an abomination.
73
It smells insane.
74
Yet somehow I still enjoyed my breakfast.
75
If this was level 1, we are gonna have a very difficult time crowning a winner of the Waffle of Trust.
76
What time is it anyway?
77
It's a pretty cool transition, I think.
78
Don't worry, I won't do it again.
79
Level two.
80
Second level.
81
Hotel breakfast.
82
I am at a new hotel.
83
I checked into my room, and look at this.
84
This hotel is super clean and modern inside.
85
It even has a mini fridge.
86
I enjoyed my night relaxing in the hotel.
87
But the breakfast, it looks stunning.
88
I'm talking endless platters of fresh meats and omelets.
89
Cereal bar.
90
Fresh pancakes.
91
Cinnamon rolls.
92
I'm getting hungry just looking at these images.
93
I made a focused effort to not look at the breakfast area.
94
So yes, the photos look amazing.
95
But the question is: will the actual breakfast be good enough for the waffle of trust?
96
Let's go eat.
97
Let's go get some breakfast.
98
My room is actually pretty far from the lobby this time.
99
But do not fret, the waffle of trust and I have arrived to breakfast.
100
A massive line has already formed and I can hardly contain my excitement.
101
Yogurt fridge?
102
Don't mind if I do.
103
I'll have a chocolate milk as well.
104
The cereal bar is stunning.
105
I prepared a bowl of fruit loops.
106
The piping hot breakfast items look great.
107
However, there's only one cinnamon roll left.
108
I took it like a boss.
109
The pancake machine works and the orange juice is flowing.
110
Now let's see if I can carry it all back to my dining table.
111
I have a table now.
112
The waffle of trust is gazing upon Maybe the most spectacular breakfast of all time.
113
There's just so much variety.
114
There's so many flavors and colors.
115
Before I started eating, I did something that I don't think I was supposed to do.
116
I looked at some of the customer reviews of the breakfast, and there was a photo from a woman named Amy, or as I like to call her, the Banana Goblin.
117
What is that?
118
Three bananas mashed up into that bowl of milk?
119
My only question at this point is where did she get the bananas?
120
The fruit bar at the breakfast buffet only had oranges.
121
Anyways, what Amy does for breakfast?
122
None of them my business.
123
But what is my business is how accurate this breakfast is compared to the photos.
124
The cinnamon roll?
125
One to one.
126
The pancake machine?
127
Worked like a charm, pretty much.
128
I set up a time lapse so I could kind of just enjoy my meal.
129
There is just so much good food.
130
I could have gotten more too, but my breakfast alone was worth about $18.
131
What a good deal for the price of the hotel.
132
So beyond the fact that it is extremely accurate, to me it's pretty tasty.
133
However, there seems to be a soccer team that spent the night at this hotel and everyone is eating breakfast, so I think we need to get some other opinions.
134
- Whoa!
135
- Yeah.
136
- I seem to have stumbled across a soccer team in the lobby.
137
You guys play soccer?
138
Yup.
139
Yes sir.
140
Alright.
141
I'm doing a video right now where I try a bunch of different hotel breakfasts
142
and I created this trophy called the Waffle of Trust.
143
Ooooooh!
144
The winner of the Waffle of Trust will be awarded to the hotel that had the most accurate photos of their breakfast.
145
Ooooooh!
146
Okay.
147
Pretty cool.
148
So I gotta hear what you guys think about this breakfast.
149
Was it accurate?
150
Was it good?
151
I just had the orange juice.
152
Orange juice was amazing.
153
The chocolate milk is insane.
154
The cinnamon roll is pretty good.
155
Yeah, the potatoes are pretty good too, yeah.
156
I just woke up.
157
Well guys, I wish you the best of luck.
158
Go get the dub.
159
My watch is telling me it's time for me to go.
160
I made them all sit here awkwardly while I recorded this clip.
161
Oh, I'm right here.
162
Hey.
163
I was trying to figure out a way to do the transition differently this time
164
because I told you I wouldn't do it again.
165
Where am I anyway?
166
I'm in Las Vegas.
167
I'm in this building right now. In Vegas.
168
And you know what rhymes with Vegas?
169
Eggs.
170
I am at the Wynn Hotel in Las Vegas.
171
I got dropped off pretty far away and had to walk there, but Yes, it has free breakfast.
172
Last night I checked into my room.
173
I love it so much.
174
I did not realize that I lost track of time.
175
I ate some dinner by myself at a Chinese restaurant.
176
It was really good.
177
And then I walked through the casino and gambled a dollar, which I instantly regretted.
178
Luckily, it was jammy time, so overall my night was redeemed by my pajamas.
179
But the reason that I'm here is because of the photos on the hotel website.
180
These are the most polished photos.
181
far and honestly, They look super fake.
182
No offense to them.
183
They seem like a nice couple, very in love.
184
Wait, in this photo, that guy seems to be in a different relationship.
185
And the woman is with that guy?
186
What's going on here?
187
None of this makes any sense.
188
Now he's on a date with her, and I swear that's a different blonde lady.
189
The rest of the gang is here.
190
This is stressing me out anyways.
191
If there's one thing I know for sure, it's that the chocolate cones look yummy.
192
The truth is, this complimentary breakfast sounds amazing.
193
If you're not a hotel guest, it's $60 per person
194
kitchens and eggs benedict station but something is fishy let's go eat some breakfast As I walk to my next breakfast,
195
it's important for us to all remember the goal: to take the waffle of trust
196
and the most honest hotel breakfast and unite them forever.
197
So as I enter this buffet, I am fully focused on the mission.
198
sushi, giant cinnamon roll, and of course, the superstar.
199
The showstopper.
200
The reason we're all here.
201
The dessert station.
202
There's those little chocolate cones I was talking about.
203
Unfortunately, I am gonna have to recreate this photo with strangers at the dessert station.
204
It is the only way for me to confirm that this buffet was accurate online.
205
But first, here's my breakfast plate.
206
This one kind of looks like a smiley face.
207
What up guys, it's Ryan.
208
I'm here with Jason, Omar, Luke.
209
Jason, Omar, Luke.
210
Three strangers I discovered at the buffet.
211
How you guys liking the breakfast?
212
- It's amazing.
213
- Super good, yeah.
214
- Well, we have stumbled across the dessert station and I have a request to you guys.
215
Essentially, I was trying to find three people to recreate a photo with.
216
There's one guy who's kind of the class clown.
217
Which of you guys is sort of the funniest?
218
Yeah, okay, you can be on that side, and then us three, we essentially just have to have desserts in our hands and be laughing at whatever Omar is saying.
219
Okay.
220
works for me.
221
Omar you can kinda just tell a joke and then we'll all just do our pose.
222
This isn't like an inside joke, so like, Screw Zucks.
223
Just don't take Zucks, man.
224
I started panicking in this moment, 'cause I don't know what that means.
225
I took the mic away from Omar.
226
I don't know if it's an inappropriate joke.
227
What is a Zucks?
228
I'm not the only one who seems uncomfortable in this clip.
229
- Not a Zucks.
230
- Okay.
231
Okay, I just looked it up.
232
This is a Zucks, I guess?
233
Robot taxi?
234
Okay.
235
I asked Omar to just say a random word instead so we could try to laugh again for the photo.
236
A random word?
237
Yeah.
238
I don't know, soccer?
239
Uh, cheers guys!
240
to free hotel breakfast and It was nice to meet you guys.
241
I'm leaving this hotel with all the information I possibly need
242
to make the best decision possible for the waffle of tr - Okay, wait, I haven't seen this one before.
243
What is this?
244
I am now in the candy section at Target.
245
I am inside of a Target store.
246
This is my candy joyride.
247
We want to make joyride America's candy because we have no fake junk, less sugar, and so many flavors.
248
That's why we're doing the 50 States Challenge.
249
If you want to help your state climb the rankings, take a photo with your joyride like this guy and tag your state on Instagram like this.
250
So many of you are already helping your state climb the candy rankings, like the Barros family from Texas.
251
You guys are amazing.
252
Shout out to all the joyride runners representing their states.
253
stores you can find Joyride, but if you go to Target, you can get these brand new Blue Raspberry Sour Smacks and Frosted Gummy Bears in these wire baskets.
254
And with that...
255
I gotta go.
256
Did we just level up?
257
Yes, we did.
258
We did level up.
259
Level four now.
260
Level four hotel.
261
You're not gonna believe this, but last night I checked into the Four Seasons.
262
I'm talking like this because of how fancy it is inside.
263
I'll stop talking like that.
264
I walked into this hotel yesterday and I immediately felt underdressed.
265
There's a vending machine with champagne in it.
266
And I'm wearing jorts.
267
When I walked into this room, I was immediately confused.
268
They made a Joyride charcuterie board?
269
This breakfast is going to be insane.
270
Just a little treat for successfully checking in.
271
At one point last night, I went back downstairs.
272
I played cornhole and giant Jenga and ping pong by myself pretty much.
273
Yeah, there was a party going on, but I wasn't invited, so I didn't go.
274
But that's okay because at one point I checked the time and it was Ryan 3000 o 'clock.
275
If you don't know what that means by now, you're missing out.
276
I'm playing one Minecraft day every day this year on my secret channel, Ryan 3000.
277
And my goal is to see how far I can get in one year
278
if I just set my mind to something and do it every day.
279
on that channel, I must have a chicken in my Minecraft world by the end of the year.
280
If I don't have more chickens than subscribers when the clock strikes midnight on 2027, I must delete World 3000.
281
It will be destroyed.
282
So go subscribe to Ryan3000, become a chicken.
283
I played Minecraft last night is what I'm trying to get at.
284
But just before going to bed, I noticed this card on my nightstand.
285
Enjoy breakfast in bed.
286
Literally.
287
My desire is to do exactly that.
288
That's why I came to this hotel.
289
I filled out the card with everything I could possibly want.
290
Protein smoothie, a variety A pot of coffee, a cappuccino, a classic American breakfast, pancakes of course, and then I put the card outside on the door.
291
Supposedly they're going to deliver this breakfast to me while I'm still lying in bed, which makes me a little uncomfortable. But...
292
That's luxury, baby.
293
Historically, only the kings and queens of the earth have experienced such things.
294
Online, this hotel has way more photos of the actual food than the last one, and it all looks delicious.
295
Pretty much everyone is eating their breakfast in bed, in a white robe.
296
She has a DSLR.
297
Why is that?
298
Why does she have that?
299
of recreating this photo or one of these photos.
300
The expectations for this hotel breakfast are astronomical.
301
In regards to the Waffle of Trust award, that could be a blessing or a curse.
302
Time to put on our white robe.
303
and lay back down in bed to wait for breakfast.
304
Thank you for calling in, Room Dining Mrs. Mary.
305
Hello, good morning.
306
It isn't weird if I have my breakfast in bed.
307
Uh, yeah, sir.
308
If you would like your breakfast in bed, we can, uh, stand up on the bedside, um, like, next to the bed.
309
Okay, yeah, awesome.
310
So, like, if they deliver breakfast and I'm literally in bed, that's okay?
311
Or should I get up?
312
Um, do you have a "Do Not Disturb" on your door?
313
Oh no. Okay, yeah, then they were able to access the room.
314
I can also let the server know that they can just go ahead and go in it.
315
Okay.
316
Alright, wonderful.
317
I'll go ahead and let the servant know and we'll see you here shortly.
318
Okay, thank you.
319
You're welcome.
320
Have a good day.
321
You too.
322
Bye -bye.
323
- Are you coming in?
324
- Yes.
325
- Thank you, sir.
326
- Good morning.
327
- Good morning.
328
- How are you?
329
- Good.
330
- Can I do breakfast in bed?
331
Sorry.
332
They said it was okay if I was laying down.
333
I just...
334
Absolutely okay.
335
Okay.
336
Any plan after breakfast?
337
After breakfast, I don't know.
338
My teleport again.
339
Where are you from, can I ask?
340
I'm actually from Houston area.
341
Houston, yes.
342
You know, I just went back from Big Ben National Park.
343
Oh really?
344
Yes, I proposed to my wife there.
345
Really?
346
It was so pretty, yeah.
347
Oh my god.
348
Did you see any scary spiders?
349
No. No?
350
I saw a big spider there one time.
351
It was like that big.
352
Thank you so much.
353
I'm gonna eat in bed.
354
Take care, Steven.
355
Bye -bye.
356
Bye.
357
I guess all the people in the photos just take the plates and move it onto the bed.
358
Honestly, this is super nerve -wracking.
359
I'm worried I'm gonna spill everything all over the white blanket.
360
I've got most of my liquids on the nightstand, but apart from that, I will say...
361
This is awesome.
362
Look at this spread of breakfast.
363
All of this is included in my breakfast credit.
364
This room was very expensive.
365
So that's, that's good.
366
In terms of accuracy, I feel like I'm experiencing exactly what I saw online.
367
I feel like I need to eat this food in cinematic mode.
368
That's a good egg.
369
I think this is the best pancake I've ever had.
370
When I was little, we had a pecan tree in our front yard, and I remember being excited whenever they would fall from the tree so I could eat them.
371
I feel like ego from Ratatouille right now.
372
That's the kind of moment I'm having.
373
I'll admit it, for $4 signs, my expectations were very high, and I'm impressed.
374
But even more so, I am so grateful to be enjoying this meal right now.
375
Oh no, I didn't even have my smoothie yet!
376
No!
377
Wait, let's wait to teleport.
378
I'm having a good time.
379
Don't teleport just yet.
380
Okay.
381
Holy moly, five dollar signs?
382
Oh no. What have I done?
383
I'm in Mexico right now.
384
I'm at a resort in Mexico.
385
It's so beautiful.
386
I got a ride from the airport and when I arrived here, I was immediately given a beverage.
387
Like right away.
388
It was crazy.
389
On my way to my room, I was soaking in the view of the resort and then I met a friend named Aloy.
390
Aloy.
391
Hola, buenas tardes.
392
Ryan and Aloy.
393
He's technically my personal butler, which made sense why he approached me.
394
Aloy showed me around my hotel room.
395
He showed me every single room.
396
It was.. it was nice.
397
Last night got a little wild when I was told that I not only have complimentary breakfast, but also complimentary dinner.
398
I had a room credit so I could order room service for free, pretty much.
399
I ordered tacos and chicken strips and watched football.
400
They also made me like a personal bonfire so I could make s'mores at night.
401
Aloy kept asking if I had any plans and I think he felt bad that I ordered room service by myself.
402
Anywho, it's morning now.
403
I got to watch the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean.
404
As someone from Texas, That's special.
405
I also have my own personal pool, which brings me to the reason I'm here.
406
And the reason this hotel's breakfast is the final boss of hotel breakfasts.
407
It floats.
408
You get in the pool and then they bring it to you in a floating basket
409
and then you eat it in the pool.
410
The photos look $5 sign.
411
That's the only way to put it.
412
Is that a whale?
413
I saw online that they have wha - oh guys I think that's a whale!
414
I've never seen something like that.
415
I don't know much about marine life.
416
Needless to say, I am very excited to see if this photo happens to me.
417
My breakfast is gonna be arriving in five minutes.
418
So without further ado, Let's try level five breakfast.
419
- Today you're going.
420
- Yes, I saw a whale.
421
I couldn't believe it.
422
I've never seen one.
423
I just recently got these glasses.
424
with the flames on them.
425
Yes.
426
Yeah.
427
The sun is very kind.
428
What's your favorite food on the Minya?
429
The brifits are actually the burrito.
430
Oh, the burrito!
431
Very nice.
432
Thank you.
433
Floating.
434
Breakfast floating.
435
Honestly, I feel like I'm looking at Google Images right now.
436
I can't believe my eyes.
437
I can't believe my body is submerged in water.
438
This breakfast looks so good.
439
There's a burrito.
440
fresh fruit, pastries, pancakes, acai bowl, and so much more.
441
That first sip feeling.
442
I don't even know what to eat first.
443
Okay, I'm going for the burrito.
444
Wow, best burrito I've ever had in my life.
445
Is that a pig cookie?
446
What is that?
447
I don't even know what to eat.
448
I Will say before I started eating I did take some photos.
449
Tell me these are not exactly the photos I saw online other than me being in the photo of course.
450
You're telling me this is complimentary?
451
You telling me that?
452
This is going to make my decision for the waffle of trust even harder.
453
I'm gonna do a time -lapse now so I can fully immerse myself in the pool.
454
This time -lapse actually turned out to be very funny.
455
I told myself I was just gonna let the floating basket float wherever it wants.
456
So it's kind of just chasing the basket the entire breakfast.
457
Also, I can't tell who felt more uncomfortable out of me and the people taking professional beach photos.
458
It seems like I'm staring at them, but really this is just where my basket floated.
459
Also saw a few more whales.
460
under the water, which was neat.
461
Kind of looks cool on camera, you guys.
462
I am so full.
463
The waffle of trust witnessed this entire breakfast take place.
464
Similar to my digestive system, I am just processing the past five breakfasts I've eaten. And man...
465
What an adventure.
466
To think that the past five breakfasts of my week have been complimentary, all with their own unique twist.
467
You know, the purpose of the Waffle of Trust was never about being fancy.
468
It was never about being expensive.
469
And yes, each level had its own dollar sign, but that doesn't tell the full story, does it?
470
I had a great morning in the parking lot at Hotel No. 1.
471
Sharing my breakfast with the soccer team in the hotel lobby, that brings me back to high school cross -country meets.
472
I mean, for two dollar signs, that is a big breakfast.
473
How can you put a price on something that's free?
474
Other than maybe some of the money you lost at the casino.
475
I despise the concept of gambling.
476
But I built up the courage to interact with strangers.
477
And now these photos are going to be memories for a lifetime.
478
You don't get to enjoy breakfast in bed in a white robe every day.
479
And yes, for the past hour I've been in a private pool overlooking the Pacific Ocean with whales jumping for joy.
480
Sitting here on the beach in Mexico, I have clarity.
481
And I know exactly what I'm gonna do with this award.
482
Never gets old.
483
It's finally time to bring the Waffle of Trust to its forever home.
484
My local Holiday Inn Express.
485
It's just like I remember it.
486
From three days ago.
487
Hey, there's bananas now!
488
That's huge for the Banana Goblin community.
489
I got myself a cinnamon roll and placed the Waffle of Trust by the juice machine.
490
I'll be here before someone notices.
491
Although a winner has been chosen, for the rest of my life, I will always treasure a free hotel breakfast.
492
Until next time, Ryan out.
493
I thought that'd be a cool line in the video with Ryan out.
494
Pretty sick.
495
Hope you guys had a good time.
496
Shout out to everyone representing their state during Joyride runs.
497

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.
