Ryan: Apparently I didn't take a single nap last year.

I got notified of that yesterday. And then I spent like all day trying to remember the last time I took a nap. And I tracked it all the way back to 2016, right before I read 4 Hour Workweek.

The self-help section of Barnes & Noble has single-handedly destroyed my circadian rhythm. So today I'm gonna try to fix it by going to Japan.

They got a lot of cool places to take naps over there.

Wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish wish.

I found those pots from the article.

Yeah, I'm in Japan now.

It's super fun. Shinjuku Station first.

It's the cheapest one by far. Leighton said: "Pods. The pods smell like cigarette.

Good for work, but come on!

Who smoked?" Alright, this one's available.

Let's get it! I don't know how much to...

Here we go. Oh!

That's cute. See you, guys!

Okay. First nap of the day.

I'm just kidding. Dude, you can just see people walking outside.

It's so strange. Hypothetical figures.

I wonder if they can see me out there.

How about a quick tour?

So there's not much in here.

You've got a desktop monitor, comes with a chair.

It spins around, but it doesn't move.

Hand sanitizer.

Not bad. Just before I came here, I stopped at a watch store, and this guy sold me a Rolex for, like, 20 bucks.

It doesn't say Rolex on it.

All right, I'm gonna try to take a nap now.

Well, on to the next one.

I missed my train on the way to the next pod, but I wasn't recording, so I set up a shot to show myself missing my train.

Then, while I was trying to get a fun drink out of the vending machine, I missed it again. There are actually people napping everywhere.

It's crazy.

Okay, before I go to my next sleep pod, I'm gonna grab a little bite to eat.

Let's just say...

Let's just say it's on...

Conveyer belt sushi!

I was trying to think of a joke about the fish still moving and being alive.

I don't know. Sour.

I think it's alcoholic. Okay, my next sleep pod is like 1 hour...

Google Maps: Proceed to the root.

Ryan: Yeah, my next sleep pod is like 1 hour walk away.

I'm feeling crazy after that sushi.

I got a coffee afterwards.

I am frankly, buzzing.

Nice to meet you.

Google Maps: Take a right on Hibiadoria Avenue!

Then in 800ft, take a left at Etai Dori Avenue!

Ryan: I was just about to add like a funny pop up on the screen of my ID and my name, legally being frankly buzzed. Google Maps: In 700ft, take a left at Etai Dori Avenue!

Ryan: All right, I'm gonna put it on the screen right now.

Hope you guys enjoy.

Google Maps: In 900ft cross on Shibori Dori...

Ryan: Hey! I'm gonna say something else.

I don't like that. Shabam, I don't know.

This is sleep pod 2.

It's called Nine Hours.

The pictures online look absolutely insane.

It's literally like just little pods.

I booked a 1 hour nap.

You can literally book naps, so I gotta get to work.

It literally says "capsule and run".

That is literally me.

Okay. Let's go!

Alright. New pod, new place.

This one's called Nine Hours.

It's a little bit more expensive.

Ophelia said: "My first time paying money to take a nap.

Big spaceship vibe. Haha!

I went to space. Don't tell my son!" I walked in and was greeted with a key to my room...or pod.

I don't know what to call it. I don't even think there's a door.

It's so quiet.

This is the closest thing I've been to the world's quietest room, and I've been to the world's quietest room. Okay, how about a tour?

Okay. So pretty self-explanatory.

You've got a nice blind here.

Shower sandals.

They give you a sleeping gown.

Hold on! No way!

This is the cutest little shirt.

Beautiful light and some, uh, charging supplies.

Oh! That's dark.

Oh, that's so cool. Very nice high quality comforter here.

Oh, yeah. That's nice.

I feel like I'm at a sleepover.

This is so fun. The only thing left to do is: try to take a nap.

No luck. But this was definitely one of my favorite experiences so far in Japan.

I haven't been here that long.

All right, on to the next one.

Okay, it's dark outside now.

City life. It's so cool here. It is insane. Look at this! Bruh!

Oh, my goodness!

Oh, my goodness! This is the busiest crosswalk in the world.

Literally, I looked it up.

Look at all these people ready to walk!

Oh, my gosh!

Look at that group over there!

Guys, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna walk across the busiest crosswalk in the world.

Sorry! Oh, sorry.

How does this functionally work?

There's so many people.

All right, guys, for dinner, I'm gonna grab some authentic Japanese local cuisine.

You ready? It was a joke.

I hear the McDonald's here are way better, so...let's get it!

100

The Japanese menu at McDonald's was unbelievable.

101

So many fun menu items.

102

Here's what I ordered: Samurai Mc, the Mc Fry Potato, Green Fanta, and a chocolate macaron. Even the trays are a different color in Japan.

103

Just like old times, I'm gonna eat this McDonald's quick.

104

On to the next sleep pod.

105

Sleep pod 3 is The Millennials.

106

I'm Gen Z, but it'll do. Bro!

107

Sorry about that! It's best if we just go inside.

108

Yeah. Sleep on 3.

109

This one is definitely more expensive, but it's also overnight.

110

And Alison said: "Loved my stay here.

111

But the bed was a bit tight with my boyfriend and his uncle with me. But would come back". I walked in, played some Temple Run on the iPad...

112

Just kidding. Just checking in.

113

And the nice lady at the front gave me a bag of goodies for the night.

114

Yeah, this one is public public. Voila.

115

The only thing separating me from sleeping with 50 strangers is this pull down fabric.

116

Well, this one is definitely nicer, but it's so quiet in here.

117

Like, I literally feel like I'm screaming.

118

Like I'm literally about to burst my eardrum.

119

They actually just got hit with a wave of fatigue.

120

I'm so sleepy.

121

But first: a tour.

122

We've got plugs, we've got a full sized bed, a mirror.

123

I put my stuff up there, and it comes with this iPod.

124

Let's see if this works!

125

Whoa! Definitively speaking, a nap is less than 1 hour.

126

I woke up 10 hours later.

127

Uh...Although my stay was over, I had one last thing to take care of.

128

Oh, my gosh!

129

Howdy! It's morning. Morning time.

130

Feeling quite chilled this morning.

131

Feeling quite calm, even on the busiest crosswalk in the world.

132

But it's time I head to my next sleep pod.

133

I'm lost. Thank you, Duolingo!

134

Has this guy lost his mind or what?

135

He doesn't have a head.

136

Pod 4: Nescafé.

137

I'm feeling pretty chilled.

138

Let's see if we can get this nap in!

139

I'm not coming back for the camera.

140

This is truly me walking up to the...to the spot.

141

I'm feeling relaxed.

142

This might be the pod that breaks my 7 year nap plague. Andrew says: "I come here daily.

143

Coffee+nap. Doesn't add up on paper.

144

Jungle sounds". I followed Rico into the pod and confirmed Andrew's statements.

145

You really can't tell, but it is so dark in here.

146

I feel like I'm literally in a rainforest.

147

This speaker over here is so relaxing.

148

This is really nice.

149

How about a tour? Alright, so first things first: it comes with these slippers.

150

Um...I don't think I'm gonna put them on.

151

What the heck? We've also got hot coffee, cream and sugar.

152

Beautiful sandwich, cozy lamp, couple pillows.

153

Blanket. Ah!

154

That's good. It's so relaxing in here.

155

I think I'm gonna try to take a nap.

156

Another napless day.

157

Although that was the most expensive pod, I still had one final frontier. Early.

158

I'm wearing an apron.

159

So you might have noticed: in every single frame of this video, I was wearing an article of clothing that said a word.

160

"Howdy". This is called subliminal messaging.

161

Guys: "Wait a minute! What does he mean by that?" Ryan: This is ramen, and this is the sponsor of this video.

162

It's Shopify. I know, it's so fun.

163

I have dreamed of coming to Japan since I was in high school.

164

High school is also when I started my first small business. I would knock on doors in my hometown, trying to sell people water bottles. And eventually I was so scared to talk to people. I decided to try to just talk to a camera, and that's why I started a YouTube channel. So I've been a fan of Shopify, like my entire YouTube career.

165

So in year 6 of my journey here, I've started a new thing, called "Howdy Howdy".

166

Guys: Okay.

167

Got it. I get it now.

168

Ryan: So all the clothing I'm wearing in this video is from our new drop, "Howdy Space Program".

169

I did a DIY photo shoot, super cute.

170

Look at me! I'm like an astronaut.

171

This was the sketch whenever I envisioned it, by the way. Super professional, I know. I've been having a lot of fun starting a new small business.

172

It's helped me to be more creative, and Shopify's support has been incredible.

173

Both their emotional support and literally their support team is fantastic.

174

So if you wanna check out the new capsule, it's on howdyhowdy.com, but it's also on the shop app.

175

And if you've had an idea and you've been waiting for a sign to start a small business, this is it. This is the one. You can sign up for Shopify at shopify.com/ryantrahan.

176

Link in the description.

177

I'm gonna eat this ramen now.

178

My friends, the final frontier.

179

The final nap pod is not a pod at all.

180

I'm just gonna sit here and try to take a nap.

181

I'm at the busiest crosswalk in the world, by the way.

182

Clearly, it's possible. This might be my craziest stunt yet.

183

We're rolling? We're rolling? We're rolling?

184

I only have one camera. That took me like 10 minutes to set up the shots, but...

185

Alright, there's no more running from it.

186

I have a full belly from that ramen.

187

It's go time.

188

I'm not sure how to go.

189

I love Japan, because they really value rest.

190

Like all of these public sleep pods are here, because people are commuting and want a place to take a break. In fact, naps are actually respected as a sign of hard work here.

191

I realize I struggle to take naps, because I'm anxious that I'm wasting time...every day.

192

Another napless day.

193

I fell asleep for like 12 minutes, but it counts.

194

Also, this guy just gave me an energy drink.

195

How cool...how cool is that?

196

My new goal in life for the foreseeable future.

197

Slow down, take naps, and stop going to the self-help section of Barnes & Noble!

198

Have a great day, guys! Love you.

Perché praticare parlando con questo video?

Il video "I Tried Public Sleep Pods" offre un contesto unico per migliorare le proprie abilità linguistiche, in particolare per chi vuole imparare l'inglese con YouTube. Ryan, il protagonista, condivide la sua esperienza di sonno in capsule pubbliche in Giappone, fornendo non solo un'informazione culturale ma anche frasi pratiche che possono essere utili nella vita quotidiana. Ascoltando e ripetendo il suo linguaggio, gli studenti possono affinare la loro pronuncia e apprendere nuove espressioni. Utilizzando le tecniche di shadow speak, particolarmente utili per migliorare la pronuncia inglese, i praticanti possono imitare il modo in cui Ryan esprime emozioni e pensieri.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, Ryan utilizza diverse strutture grammaticali e espressioni che possono essere utili per gli studenti di inglese. Eccone alcune:

"I’m gonna try to fix it by going to Japan": Qui si osserva l'uso del futuro colloquiale con "gonna," un modo comune per esprimere intenzioni.
"It’s the cheapest one by far": Un esempio di superlativo che dimostra come confrontare cose o esperienze.
"I wasn’t recording, so I set up a shot": Questa frase mette in evidenza l'uso del passato per descrivere azioni precedenti, utile per chi desidera raccontare storie.

Questi esempi non solo aiutano a comprendere la lingua, ma offrono anche spunti per le conversazioni quotidiane. Gli studenti possono utilizzare queste frasi come modelli nei loro esercizi di shadowspeak.

Trappole comuni nella pronuncia

Guardando il video, è possibile notare alcuni termini e frasi che possono presentare difficoltà di pronuncia per chi apprende l'inglese:

"hypothetical": La pronuncia di questa parola può essere complicata a causa delle tre sillabe. È utile esercitarsi a pronunciarla lentamente prima di aumentare la velocità.
"conveyor belt": Questa espressione contiene suoni che possono essere sfidanti. È importante praticare il suono "v" e "b" per evitare confusioni.
"Shinjuku Station": Il nome del luogo, con la sua combinazione di suoni giapponesi e inglesi, può richiedere attenzione per una corretta articolazione.

Praticando queste parole con lo shadowing site, gli studenti possono migliorare la loro pronuncia e suoni, rendendo il loro inglese più fluido e naturale.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso	I've been having · you've been waiting
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	I've been · haven't been · have dreamed
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa	being frankly buzzed · was greeted · is called
Superlativi the -est / the most … — il massimo o il minimo di un gruppo	the cheapest · the closest · the cutest

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.
