1
- Hello, this is Taylor.
2
Welcome to what I'm turning into, a what I spend in a day in New York City.
3
You might know the popular version, what I spend in a week in New York City.
4
but it's just 24 hours today.
5
And I'm filming this because I have some fun bopping around, and some errands and all that good stuff to do in New York City today, and...
6
I have a feeling it's gonna add up a wee bit.
7
It's an overcast, lovely day in New York.
8
I gotta address it.
9
I don't know if you guys will give a hoot at all, but I couldn't find my regular sunglasses, the ones I wear every single day.
10
For those who don't know, these are the ones I wear every single day.
11
Couldn't find them this morning, but it's an overcast day, and that's actually when you need sunglasses the most, you know?
12
Hello, squirrel.
13
Wow. So agile.
14
That's when you need them the most because the sky is white not blue and so they're more reflective.
15
Meteorology expert Taylor reporting for duty.
16
But anyways, I had to leave my house with these kind of catty ones that I have.
17
They're fun but I feel like I'm cosplaying Mean Girl.
18
You know what I mean?
19
I should show you.
20
This townhouse in East Village is the one that Led Zeppelin used on the cover of that one album, you know?
21
There it is right there.
22
Fun fact!
23
Alright.
24
I would love to try one of these, because you guys are known for the cloud thing, right?
25
Thank you.
26
Oh my god, smells good.
27
Okay, this is their Cloud Cappuccino.
28
I think it's just like a ton of sweet cream, cold foam on top.
29
You know what this reminds me of?
30
Is from the Simpsons movie, when Flanders makes that insanely intricate coffee or hot chocolate drink.
31
That is literally what this looks like.
32
I just need a little flame thrower to toast the top.
33
Anyway, cute dog.
34
Looks like mine.
35
All right, moment of truth real quick before we chat.
36
I have never had this before.
37
I mean, okay, I'm not gonna lie, there's a little tongue mark already.
38
I mean, yeah, can't not be good.
39
Let's see the coffee.
40
I should've got a straw, what an idiot I am.
41
Should I use my finger, is that gross?
42
All right, we're past the crazy stuff.
43
It's good.
44
I mean, at the end of the day they're charging 8 .50
45
because you can call it like a cloud latte and put sweet cold foam on there.
46
It was delightful, don't get me wrong, but I just wanted to try it.
47
Okay, so this is Elizabeth Street Garden.
48
I brought you guys here before in my What I Spend In week actually.
49
And I remember saying it's like cemetery vibes, which I stand by that, it is, but like good cemetery vibes.
50
People sitting in different pockets, reading.
51
I see a lot of people just come here to read, which I've done many times and we're gonna do today too.
52
But this is a really beautiful area.
53
We're in Nolita, which means north of Little Italy, part of Manhattan.
54
I've checked on Street Easy, but I want to see what these apartments that kind of look down over the garden are like on the inside.
55
Okay, gonna go join the populace in the more crowded area over there.
56
Read my book in a second.
57
But first, wanted to tell you guys something.
58
I'm reading this, which is called Show Your Work by Austin Kleon.
59
I haven't finished it yet, but I know what this book is about.
60
And I'm I just had a couple reflections around it.
61
It's about basically putting your work out there or sharing some part of yourself or your creativity, etc. in some small way every single day and to be practicing it.
62
Because odds are others, you know, some people will resonate with it, but it has to be findable.
63
So anyways, I had a moment yesterday where that principle of this book really resonated with me.
64
It was a small thing, but my life now, it really obviously revolves around YouTube and that's what I geek out on.
65
So all of the little features that come out on YouTube, or the analytics that I'm constantly analyzing on my videos.
66
That's my passion, that's what interests me, and is also just applicable to my life in a way that, I mean, I'm constantly comparing these things, but it's what I know.
67
And the way that consulting was not that for me, because it was much more theoretical.
68
It wasn't, you know, the work I was doing for clients.
69
It wasn't for my own business.
70
And so I always say without having my own skin in the game or without having a horse in the race,
71
so to speak, I just couldn't bring myself to care nearly as much as I care about my own business, obviously.
72
Anyways, point being, I put on my Instagram story yesterday, me rambling a little bit about something that I found really interesting.
73
I'll give you the TLDR.
74
Basically, YouTube recently rolled out the feature for creators to be able to A /B test their thumbnails, which means you can upload up to three different thumbnails
75
and YouTube will then track which one performs the best and automatically set it to the one that performs best.
76
And I thought it was interesting that the metric
77
that YouTube tracks to determine which one is best is not click through rate.
78
Click through rate is is the percentage of people that click on a thumbnail when it's presented to them.
79
The metric that they track according to the back end in the YouTube studio is watch time.
80
So how many minutes of your video did that person watch?
81
Which to me is a little bit counterintuitive.
82
Anyway, so I went on my story and just talked about this
83
and said that I can understand why YouTube would do it the way they do it.
84
But I personally as a creator would like to see the difference in click -through rate.
85
And when I have these slots, I typically don't share them because I think they're too niche or I don't know, like who cares?
86
Screw it, I'm gonna put it on my story.
87
see what people think.
88
The amount of replies I got on that ostensibly very, very niche thought I was having, or opinion about this thing,
89
got so many replies and from such a wide variety of people too.
90
None other than the expert himself, MKBHD, literally responded to it because he had the same thought
91
and so he dug into it and said that what YouTube does is actually, it's kind of a combination of the two, the click -through rate and the watch time.
92
Basically the way he put it is, if a video gets let's just keep numbers simple, 100 hours of watch time,
93
but 75 of those hours come from the group of people that clicked on this thumbnail versus that one.
94
That's how YouTube determines it.
95
So it's kind of a combination between click -through rate and average view duration.
96
Again, like getting into the nitty gritty, but just the fact that I got so many replies on that.
97
let alone from experts in the field.
98
I just thought that was really, really cool.
99
And so again, without having finished this, I already feel inspired to be putting out random thoughts into the world every day or like even in this video.
100
I'm already rambling because I'm sure it will resonate with someone.
101
All right now I'm gonna go join the masses.
102
Oh I should have said part of my effort to start sharing more like random thoughts
103
and etc. I am starting a newsletter and
104
so it's gonna be part of my email list which if you want to join the link is in the description.
105
A couple hours of pooter time which included scripting on my next video after this one.
106
Little hint it involves my apartment so I'm excited to release
107
that one and I think you guys are really gonna like it.
108
Caught up over the next couple months.
109
And of course, texted some friends.
110
I'm always multitasking.
111
Here's live footage of me receiving a really funny one.
112
Huge perk of my job, being able to do it from pretty much wherever.
113
I just sent out the invite to my birthday party, which I'm having soon.
114
And yeah, for reference, every single event that I host, I call it a moistening.
115
That's just my brand now.
116
But anyway, it's my 27th birthday soon.
117
My actual birthday is September 4th, but I'm having the party another time when more people are in town.
118
But I'm really proud of this theme.
119
I'm not gonna lie, it was one of my friends' ideas.
120
Well, I came up with this part, 'cause Taylor Swift obviously had her eras tour, but this Taylor, this one, my spin on the eras tour is life eras.
121
So to come dressed as one of your life eras, whether it was when you were an intern, a high schooler, or I added this little bit, future MILF DILF, you know, keep it spicy.
122
And I put this as my picture.
123
I think that's what I'm gonna do is the life era of Taylor, first day of freshman year in college.
124
All pen gear, wearing a freaking lanyard,
125
We'll see.
126
I laugh every time I walk by here.
127
This place called Rin Tin Tin.
128
It's like a popular drinks and like bite spot and Soho, Nolita area and
129
Like everyone me all my friends everyone I know calls it Rin Tin Tin
130
But then I'm a friend who insists on calling it Hon Ton Ton.
131
It really tickles me.
132
I don't know why.
133
Anyway, we're actually Keeping the wallet in the pocket more than I expected today, but let's go change that shall we?
134
the fast casual jewel of the Mediterranean.
135
Thank you.
136
Thank you.
137
Try it in true.
138
Also, she packed me so full.
139
I'm going to put the hood on that thing.
140
Music is blasting.
141
- But we're here for a reason.
142
Don't worry, this is not a shopping vlog, but...
143
We got so quiet.
144
I actually need new tops.
145
I literally just wear black t -shirts all the time and it's like, come on, up your game a little bit Taylor.
146
These aren't really shirts.
147
I got some shirts.
148
Either way, if I walk out of here with greater than or equal to one item, it's going to be expensive.
149
So, what I spent in a day.
150
Nice color scheme, Taylor.
151
Look, green.
152
Guys, what a success.
153
I'm gonna get a couple of these things.
154
Probably this green t -shirt.
155
Sue me.
156
And god, do I do it?
157
Do I do it?
158
I don't know.
159
And no, I'm not going to a funeral.
160
All right, with that purchase, which we will talk about in a minute, I got a free token to use the cafe upstairs.
161
Worth it?
162
Oh man, that hurt a little bit.
163
At the same time, I'm like, you know what?
164
I do that once a year.
165
Not that I've ever spent that much in a single shopping trip, but I went in there with an idea of what I wanted.
166
I don't do it very often.
167
I'm going to keep those pieces forever.
168
I don't know who I'm trying to justify it to besides myself.
169
And now I can donate quite a bit of stuff in my closet too.
170
So honestly, I got to say, great place for staples and just really classy looking I hurt a little bit, I'm not gonna lie.
171
Anyway, I'm gonna walk home for free, and then do something that's good for my health, I think.
172
Oh my god, I found another one.
173
If you didn't know, I have a deep, deep love for Cavalier King Charles Daniels.
174
I grew up with two amazing ones.
175
I have two other amazing ones now who, I get to see you soon because I'm flying home to LA in a couple days.
176
They're just the best dogs.
177
They really are.
178
By the way, your newsletter that you mentioned earlier.
179

180

181

182

184

185

186

190

Amazing.
193

194
but surely over time as I ease into the kind of full -time creator entrepreneur thing.
195
Ah, is that so?
196
Same here, actually.
197

198

209
And a subscriber said hi to me as soon as I walked in, which is really sweet.
210

Cheapest way to get fruit.
212

Those things look so weird.
215
They're actually massive.
216
If you've ever seen one in real life, they're huge.
217
I was gonna go to Barry's, which is like $30.
218
But I figured after dropping $621 on the Ritzia,
219
I might as well just use the ground on my own two feet, huh?
220
So this was my first time ever trying hot pot, which is where you order a broth that sits on a heat source right in front of you.
221
Hence the name hot pot.
222
Then you order different meats and veggies and noodles, whatever you want.
223
and cook it there right in front of you.
224
It was honestly really fun.
225
I went with my friend, Catherine, who's a huge fan of hot pot, and it was insanely delicious and just very flavorful.
226
I will for sure be back.
227
hello it is the next day added everything up came out
228
to just over $700 obviously I do not spend out every
229
day I just kind of knew it was gonna be a
230

231
but hope you guys enjoyed I know this was a bit
232

Lo scenario: Una giornata a New York con Taylor
Il video ci porta in una giornata di Taylor a New York, tra spese, curiosità e piccoli momenti quotidiani. È il perfetto contesto per imparare l'inglese con YouTube, perché la lingua è naturale, colloquiale e legata a situazioni reali: da cercare gli occhiali a ordinare un caffè, passando per commentare un giardino. Questo tipo di contenuto è ottimo per esercitarti con il shadow speech, perché la pronuncia è chiara e il tono è vicino alla conversazione quotidiana.
Frasi e collocazioni utili da memorizzare
- "It's gonna add up a wee bit": "Sarà un po' che si accumula". Una frase informale per dire che le spese (o le cose) aumentano leggermente.
- "I couldn't find my regular sunglasses": "Non sono riuscito a trovare i miei occhiali da sole usuali". Ottima per descrivere situazioni di ogni giorno.
- "Good cemetery vibes": "Atmosfera di cimitero ma piacevole". Una collocazione divertente per parlare di luoghi tranquilli e un po' suggestivi.
- "Moment of truth": "Momento della verità". Usata per indicare un momento cruciale o di decisione.
La tua sfida: Shadowing in 5 minuti
Ora è il tuo turno! Apri il video, trova il frammento dove Taylor parla del caffè "Cloud Cappuccino" (dai 1:30 al 2:15). Ripeti dopo di lei, imitando la sua intonazione e il ritmo. Usa un shadowing site se vuoi registrare te stesso e confrontarti, ma anche a mano è efficace. Ricorda: il shadowspeak non è solo ripetere, ma ascoltare e imitare nello stesso istante. In pochi giorni noterai che la tua pronuncia diventa più fluida! E se vuoi continuare, prova con altri momenti del video: le descrizioni del giardino o le battute sui Mean Girl. Imparare l'inglese con YouTube non è mai stato così divertente!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso | have never had · I've done · I've checked |
| Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa | those who don · Nolita, which means · this, which is |
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | are known · is called |
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.
