Well today you are inside of my garbage can and I am going to make you A video of comprehensible input.

What is comprehensible input?

Comprehensible input is when a native speaker like me speaks in a way that you can understand.
7
I'm going to make a video showing you all of the chores.
8
The chores that people do at their homes all around the world.
9
But first, I have to take out the trash.
10
Let's go.
11
Thank you.
12
Hey guys, it is your English speaking friend Kyle and today we've got a video full of important vocabulary.
13
Today, I'm going to make you guys a video showing you something that we all have to do,
14
But I think most of us don't really like doing.
15
chores.
16
What are chores?
17
Chores are the things that you do around your house, to keep your house clean, to make sure that you have a nice place to live.
18
But for most of us, it's not really a fun thing.
19
People don't usually say, "Oh, I get to do chores today." No, it's more like, "Ugh." I have to do chores today,
20
but it is an important part of daily life.
21
So today I'm going to be showing you all the chores that we do around the house, how to say them in English.
22
And I think that the camera wife is really going to love this video, because she's going to get to see me.
23
doing chores.
24
All right, this.
25
is a vacuum cleaner.
26
This is a vacuum cleaner guys.
27
And you use a vacuum cleaner to vacuum.
28
Okay?
29
And what the vacuum cleaner does is it sucks.
30
It sucks little pieces of dirt, animal hair, any little thing that's on your floor.
31
The vacuum cleaner sucks those things up.
32
It sucks them into here and then you can take this off
33
and throw it away and get it off of your floor.
34
So, So, The vacuum cleaner is for cleaning the floor.
35
Now there's another thing that is for getting little things up off of your floor for cleaning your floor as well.
36
That is a broom.
37
This is called a broom and this is called a dustpan.
38
and you use a broom to sweep, to sweep.
39
So if they kind of do the same thing, when do you use a broom and when do you use a vacuum cleaner?
40
Good question.
41
So you can use a vacuum cleaner on a wood floor like this, a floor made out of wood,
42
or on a rug or a carpet.
43
This is a rug.
44
The difference between a rug You put a rug down on the floor.
45
A carpet covers the whole floor in the house or the room.
46
So when you're trying to clean up the wood floor,
47
you can use the broom and the dustpan and sweep it up to sweep to sweep up the dirt.
48
Or you can use the vacuum cleaner.
49
to vacuum up the dirt.
50
But you cannot use a broom to sweep up a carpet.
51
It doesn't work.
52
So for that reason, you can use the vacuum cleaner.
53
Camera wife's gonna love this.
54
Right now, I am vacuuming our rug.
55
I'm vacuuming our rug.
56
Okay.
57
Now, another thing that is very common when cleaning floors is to mop.
58
This is called a mop and you use it
59
to mop the verb is to mop the floor
60
but camera wife does a very good job with
61
that she already did it
62
so i'm not gonna make a mess with a bunch of water
63
and a mop just to show you guys but just know That's a mop.
64
and you do not use a mop on rugs
65
or carpets okay never mop your carpet all right guys if you have seen really any of my videos you know
66
you know that I love, I love to cook.
67
But the problem with cooking is that it makes one chore in your house a lot more difficult.
68
Doing the dishes, cleaning the dishes, washing the dishes.
69
There's a lot of ways to say it, but when we're talking about cleaning the dishes,
70
the pots, the bowls, the glasses, spoons, we usually just say doing the dishes.
71
have to do the dishes.
72
All that means is that you're going to clean all of the things that you use to cook, and to eat.
73
One tip, one way to use your chore time better is to listen listen to some English,
74
or anything you want to learn about while you're doing your chores.
75
That's something I always do.
76
whenever I'm doing chores.
77
Many times I've washed the dishes listening to a podcast in Spanish
78
or French or about anything that I was trying to learn.
79
So guys, use your time wisely.
80
You'd be surprised how much that little bit of extra time can really make a difference.
81
All right, guys.
82
Now, To do dishes, you need soap, water, and some people use sponges, Some people use washcloths.
83
We use this brush usually.
84
and whenever the brush part gets dirty you can take it off and put a new one on.
85
So we put a little bit of soap on the brush and then you brush the soap on, clean off any food that's on there, then you rinse it with water,
86
then you've got a clean plate.
87
Now some people wash their dishes and then dry them off with a towel very quickly,
88
but we have this, this little rack over here, and you put the dishes standing up like this, and the water slowly,
89
comes off of it and they dry just being out in the open in the air
90
so that's pretty cool that's doing the dishes guys
91
and unfortunately in this house because we cook
92
so much we have a lot of dishes but i wouldn't change
93
that for the world you guys saw the fast food video i made on that day there were no dishes
94
but I did not feel good.
95
So I'll keep doing the dishes.
96
Well, to be honest, camera wife does more dishes than I do.
97
I'm lucky.
98
Alright guys, here I am and
99
camera wife and my bedroom okay
100
and as you can see the bed is a mess okay
101
if camera wife comes home and sees
102
that i left the bed like this she's gonna be mad she's gonna be so mad at me Just kidding guys. But...
103
If your bed looks like this, there's a chore that you can do to make your bed look nice.
104
Do you know what that chore is called?
105
Making your bed.
106
And this is how you make your bed.
107
You put your pillows, your pillows up here where your head goes.
108
This is called the comforter.
109
This part is called a sheet and camera wife likes it when the sheet is nice and tight like this.
110
I don't do it.
111
And then you take the comforter, put it nice across the bed.
112
All right, guys, there's probably ways to make your bed a lot nicer.
113
Some people will do something like this.
114
I don't really care that much about it.
115
I think it looks okay like this.
116
And I just am happy to come home after a hard day at work, have a nice clean bed to lay down in and sleep in.
117
That's a made bed, okay?
118
Making your bed.
119
So you probably want to tell your children sometimes, hey, Go clean your room and make your bed.
120
Make your bed.
121
Guys, something interesting I want to say.
122
There's a book about this that I saw before.
123
It's...
124
Something about making your bed is the title of the book, the importance of making your bed or something like that.
125
But the idea is that when you make your bed right
126
when you get up when you wake up in the morning
127
if you start your day by making your bed your day will be much more organized much more ordered
128
and I don't know I don't make my bed every day.
129
But I have a wonderful partner who does help me
130
so that's the cool thing about being married guys
131
when you have your weaknesses your partner can help you
132
and you can help them with their weaknesses to be a strong team together.
133
Alright, now time to do some clothes.
134
Do you guys know what this thing is called?
135
I have no idea how to say this in any other language, so I'm sure that many of you do not know how to say this in English.
136
This is called
137
a clothes hamper but we usually just call it a hamper
138
and you put your dirty clothes inside okay put your dirty clothes inside here
139
so that you can carry them to your washing machine
140
or wherever you clean your clothes so let's go check
141
that out i'll show you all the vocabulary you need to
142
know in order to clean your clothes chores chores chores all right guys we are down here in my basement
143
of some houses that's underneath the main floor, okay?
144
The main floor is where we were.
145
We were up there where I showed you the vacuum, where I was sweeping the floor.
146
That's above me right now.
147
Right now we are down in the basement, okay?
148
And we are down in the basement because that's where the washing machine and the dryer are in this house.
149
So guys, washing machine.
150
This is the washing machine.
151
You open this, you open the lid, you put, what do they call this?
152
Detergent.
153
So you open the lid, you put some soap or some detergent in,
154
close the lid, turn it start spinning around and washing your clothes.
155
Now it's really cool that we have washing machines.
156
If we didn't have washing machines it would be much more difficult to wash your clothes.
157
You'd have to scrub and scrub and scrub in a a sink in your bathtub.
158
I've heard of people doing their clothes in bathtubs
159
and one time I had to do some laundry in a bathtub because the washing machine broke at my old house.
160
So I know a lot of people still probably don't have these.
161
around the world but I'm happy that we have one because I know doing laundry without having a washing machine,
162
It's not very fun.
163
So I'm using a word maybe you haven't heard before.
164
Doing laundry.
165
To do the laundry.
166
Laundry is another word for your clothes.
167
Cleaning your clothes.
168
Doing the laundry.
169
Doing the laundry is washing your clothes and then over here we have
170
the dryer okay so the washing machine washes your clothes it cleans them
171
and then you open this and This is called a dryer.
172
You throw the clothes in there, turn it on, turn the button on, push the button and it starts spinning them and heating them,
173
making them hot so that they dry off.
174
That's why it's called a dryer because it dries your clothes.
175
Unfortunately, guys, you can see that we have clothes hanging right here because the dryer at this new house, we just got this house not too long ago.
176
Our dryer does not work.
177
We need to get a new dryer, but dryers are expensive, so we haven't bought one yet.
178
So right now we hang our clothes, let them air dry soon.
179
when we have a little bit of extra money we'll get a new dryer
180
so that camera wife can do the clothes
181
and have it a little bit easier
182
so guys that's doing laundry you wash your clothes in the washing machine
183
if you're lucky enough to have one
184
if not you wash them in a sink in the bathtub in a river wherever you have to do it
185
and then you can you dry the clothes by putting them in a dryer if you're lucky enough to have one,
186
or you hang them up and let them dry in the air.
187
It's better to let them dry outside because of the wind, but they will also dry if you just hang them up like this just takes longer.
188
So guys that's doing the laundry.
189
Okay my friends so those are the chores that I can think of inside of the house.
190
Now we're gonna go outside and do a couple chores out there
191
but the first one is a chore that starts in the house and ends outside.
192
taking out the garbage, taking out the trash.
193
Okay, trash and garbage, they mean the same thing.
194
You'll hear both of those words when people are talking about the things that they throw away.
195
Okay, garbage, trash, it goes in the garbage can or in some countries they might say trash bin.
196
All right, But here we call this a garbage can.
197
And my garbage can is pretty full, so it's time for me to take out the garbage, take out the trash.
198
So you take the garbage bag, then we go take it outside.
199
Let's take out the trash.
200
All right guys, taking out the garbage.
201
This is the garbage can and it's common for there to be a garbage can for things like food, the nasty garbage, okay?
202
And a lot of people here have recycling bins, which is just for plastic, paper, cardboard, and glass.
203
And that is the one that I recorded the intro in.
204
So don't worry, that one is much cleaner.
205
And I set it up to where my camera doesn't touch anything nasty.
206
So just in case you guys were thinking, oh, this guy's gross.
207
I made sure to do that opening shot.
208
as clean as I possibly could.
209
So we take the garbage out, we put in these garbage cans, and once every week a garbage truck will come and pick it up.
210
So on that day we have to take the cans
211
out to the front of the house by the street
212
and we'll call that taking the garbage up
213
or putting the cans out front for the garbage truck something like
214
that all right guys here we are in my backyard your backyard is the Space.
215
outside of your house, in the back of your house.
216
I have a pretty good sized backyard and I love it because Connor can run around.
217
We could come out here and cook food on my grill.
218
It's a very nice space, but it's pretty big and there is...
219
A lot of grass.
220
And that brings me to the last chore that we're going to talk about today.
221
cutting the grass, okay?
222
Now there's different ways to say this, cutting the grass, mowing the lawn.
223
That is my lawn mower, okay?
224
and it's green because it's electric.
225
I thought I would.. do good and buy an electric lawn mower and it would work great.
226
But it doesn't really work that good guys because the battery dies very quickly.
227
So having a big yard like this, an electric lawn mower is not very good.
228
But that's called a lawn mower and you use a lawn mower to mow your lawn.
229
or cut your grass.
230
So I'm going to start up my lawnmower.
231
and mow my lawn or cut my grass.
232
So some people really enjoy mowing their lawn, taking nice care of their yard, and I enjoy that too, to make my yard look nice.
233
So my family has somewhere nice to be outside.
234
but it can be hot.
235
and it takes a long time
236
with this big yard and especially when I have to keep on charging my battery on my lawn mower.
237
So I'm going to go ahead and charge.
238
I'm going to go ahead and cut my grass.
239
But the one thing I do like about this
240
this chore is that one you can listen to something you can listen to a podcast
241
or something on headphones while you do it but you also get exercise
242
and you can see i'm getting sun which is very good for your body and your brain.
243
So guys, I'm going to cut my grass real quick.
244
And then I have one last thing I want to share with you guys before we end this video.
245
See you in a minute.
246
All right, guys.
247
It's kind of hot out there.
248
I just finished mowing my lawn or cutting my grass.
249
Either of those means the same thing.
250
To cut your grass or to mow your lawn.
251
So my lawn or my yard, which both pretty much means the same thing.
252
Your lawn is like the grass and the trees and stuff.
253
Your yard is just the space out there.
254
outside of your house.
255
So my yard is looking pretty good now.
256
I'm happy.
257
My family has a nice place to be outside.
258
My son, Loves to go out there and run around.
259
So anyway, chores are done.
260
I got some exercise.
261
I got some sun.
262
Now I just want to share something with you guys because I'm excited about it.
263
Let's see, as I'm recording this, it is August 21st, okay?
264
And August 28th is my birthday.
265
I will be 34 years old and we're going to do something cool to celebrate my birthday.
266
We're going to go on a little trip, a little vacation, just a small one, three days.
267
And we're not leaving the country, but we're going to see something.
268
beautiful, absolutely stunning that is here in the United States.
269
We are going to fly from Chicago, close to where I live,
270
we're going to fly to Colorado, a state called Colorado.
271
And there's something in Colorado that is one of the most beautiful.
272
places in all of the United States, one of the natural wonders of my country.
273
and I have never seen it.
274
the Rocky Mountains.
275
Guys, I cannot wait.
276
We're going to see incredible lakes like this.
277
This is a famous lake called Bear Lake.
278
We're going to see the mountains.
279
We're going to rent a car and drive.
280
way up high into the mountains
281
and I have a lot of things I want to do there and I'm going to make some awesome videos.
282
I'm thinking I might wait to make my questions and answer video.
283
for when we're there because that way it'll give you guys a few days to post good questions for me
284
and I could record the questions and answers video with an incredible view behind me.
285
I might just do that because I want to make a bunch of content while we're there.
286
So in a week, it will be my birthday.
287
I'll be 20 or 24.
288
I wish I'll be 34 years old and we'll be seeing something incredible.
289
Me, camera wife and my son are going to go explore a beautiful part of my country.
290
I'm going to show you guys what it looks like too.
291
Just wanted to share that with you because I'm excited and I wanted you guys to know
292
We've got some awesome content coming up here on the channel.
293
So my friends, I hope that you learn some useful vocabulary here about chores.
294
You know, it's not something super fun, but it's something that we do pretty much every day.
295
So if you're going to live your life in a new language, you've got to know these things.
296

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.
