okay yeah yeah it's a very wide category

but yeah yeah yeah i am a fan um of japanese vietnamese thai food korean food um

i'm just getting hungry even thinking about it okay yeah do you like spicy food can you handle spicy food

i do yeah it depends like i want to be able to taste my food

but i do like a little kick yeah yeah

it's it's fun like the jalapenos you put in the burgers those are

or on top of the burgers yes under the bun yes um to specify i can just cut that out

the jalapeno placement is very important it's one of my secrets

if i have a friend visiting

or actually i think my brother might come to visit what are three restaurants

you would recommend to take someone to here in portland all right

so i'm thinking you want restaurants that kind of like typify portland yes by name

so something unique right so don't tell us to go to starbucks nothing against starbucks

but you can go there anywhere literally anywhere in the world

you can find a starbucks um i would say olive garden really represents portland no stop okay all right

so um even though i'm not the biggest seafood person

i would recommend a place called even tide oyster company yeah um

i know people love them they get really really good reviews they have really fresh shellfish

and seafood that came from like right here in the greater portland area

and maine so i think that's like a really good portland restaurant it kind of like yeah

on that same street i'm gonna go with a place called duck fat oh yeah

and duck fat is a little more like relaxed kind of like maybe a good lunch place

but they have really really good sandwiches um they're called duck fat

because they have french fries

that are fried in duck fat with like lots of dipping sauces

and things like that

and they probably make the best milkshakes in all of maine from what i've experienced really

they make really amazing milkshakes okay so

that would be another one of my top recommendations right

there hmm let's think for a third to round it out

i feel like we need like a breakfast spot okay all right somewhere i could get blueberry pancakes

because blueberries are very big in maine

so this might be the most obvious recommendation

because it is a little touristy it is a tourist spot

but uh becky's diner i knew you were gonna say

that i mean it's quintessential right it's quintessential um they do a good job there um

But yeah, Becky's Diner has all sorts of local main stuff,

main blueberry pancakes and good solid breakfast food and eggs and bacon and a piece of coffee.

I would add a good alternative to Becky's, smaller and a little bit lesser known.

Can you guess what I'm going to say?

Not Q Street Diner, but they're good too.

Miss Portland Diner?

No, I've actually never been there.

Either have I.

What?

Next date.

Okay.

We've got our next date planned, folks all right i was gonna say marcy's diner do you know

that one i don't okay it's it's small

you can probably only see 20 people in there yeah uh very closely

but i used to go there all the time

when i was a student um you know they're very fairly priced and generally

if you go to a diner it's gonna be good prices a greasy spoon a greasy spoon yes

so yeah i love marcy's diner they have these um they they they cook

or they they grill muffins

and they have the best blueberry muffins sold oh okay

i want to stop filming let's go we're gonna have to make a part two guys

so sorry yeah uh actually we might

but uh let's keep going wait how many questions have we asked

we're just we're just not counting anymore like it just it doesn't matter

when you talk to somebody interesting like you're not counting involved in the conversation yeah

it's hard to think in those logical mathematical terms yes what's your favorite fruit what's my favorite fruit yeah okay

i speaking of blueberries i do really love blueberries

but in general i would say apples

because i actually have an apple here with me it's easy to transport it's an easy snack um

yeah they're just uh crisp and delicious

and sweets do you have a favorite apple variety

because there's like hundreds to choose from cosmic cosmic crisp cosmic crisp okay i learned about recently i don't know

if they always had them i feel like they're new

they're like a new offering um as of the last couple years okay

i discovered a new type of apple this past year

that is probably not new it was new to me

it's called kissable k -i -s -s -a -b -e -l it has pink flesh

so the inside of the apple is pink

and it tastes like somewhere between apples and berries

and it's crazy juicy like you bite in

and just drips juice oh my gosh it's so good

but they're hard to find okay those all right those sound delicious um

i was gonna say i should have eaten before this

because all we're doing is talking about food we should have saved this category for last

but yes um okay

so favorite fruits uh do you have a favorite meal

i would say my favorite meal is a really good steak yes done on the grill yes

and with a side of maybe like smashed potatoes

or grilled potatoes you say smashed potatoes yes

so you yeah what's wait i say mashed potatoes oh is there a difference no

it's two different things really yeah so you got mashed potatoes where they're

mashed into a semi -liquid form yeah you can kind of smash as you take small potatoes

and literally smash them flat with the skin on season them

and then put them in the oven until they get crispy i thought you made a mistake saying smashed potatoes

but this is actually me learning something new yes okay i love potatoes in all forms honestly

so they would be part of my i do love potatoes

and then i'm thinking maybe you know you need something green

and healthy in there

so i'm thinking maybe um some asparagus some roasted asparagus with a little garlic

and lemon and salt

and pepper nice yeah okay my favorite meal okay

i have to ask what yours my favorite meal i already said i love scallops

but uh if it

100

if it wasn't scallops i would also go with a steak not just trying to copy you

101

but uh a really solid choice yeah i mean

102

it's a special occasion kind of thing right i don't eat steak every night

103

but you know for a special occasion i love a good steak i would probably pick um a salad

104

and mashed potatoes okay yeah it's very close to yours it is i do like asparagus

105

but not as much we didn't choose dessert though oh neither of us said

106

so what would be like there's so many good desserts there's

107

so many good desserts um i do really like creme brulee creme brulee yeah

108

i do too that's a good one um mine would be

109

like either a brownie sundae with ice cream on top

110

or there's something called toll house cookie pie

111

which is basically like picture like a gigantic baked chocolate chip cookie yes with ice cream on top oh

112

i can't handle it all right we need to move on to another topic

113

because I can't I can't handle this you're absolutely okay our next one is travel plans

114

or experiences okay I'll start okay you start all right uh

115

I know you've been to many many places you're like a world traveler

116

and you have a lot of experience if there's one place

117

that you haven't been yet

118

that you would love to go where would you love to visit oh

119

I know right away I want go to greece

120

and i want to visit the greek isles i i've seen these pictures right i mean

121

who's to know if the pictures you see on social media are accurate

122

but there's so many beautiful pictures i've seen

123

and i love islands i love being by the water

124

i love being on boats i love greek food going back to food

125

we just can't stop talking about food we have one track yes

126

so i want to go eat olives and feta cheese in greece

127

and baklava and yes and uh and just yeah experience um going island hopping

128

that would be

129

so much fun shout out to the greek viewers at home

130

yes all right very cool do you have any upcoming travel plans um i do actually

131

so i am going to kansas city oh to help a friend move oh

132

so it's kind of going to be like a little bit of like you know not necessarily a vacation

133

because like helping them move

134

but like i'm sure we'll make it fun i'm sure we'll like go eat some barbecue in kansas city

135

and uh maybe see a couple sites or something like that

136

so yes it should be fun i i don't know kansas city very well

137

so i'm excited to kind of learn a new city

138

and get like a locals impression of all the cool stuff

139

there oh very cool yeah okay where is the last place

140

you traveled to gabby the last place i traveled would have been new york city because

141

that was yeah no wait no oh no oh my god just take

142

it no come back city come back city oh my god no oh my god i'm so sorry it's okay it's fine

143

it's okay no didn't put a lot of thought into that trip didn't make it real special

144

didn't guys i think he's gonna leave me but um

145

come back come back no the last place I traveled was Quebec City um

146

and it was the most magical trip ever it was amazing despite

147

that despite that I totally forgot to mention it um wow

148

okay so I mean I to be fair I set you up because I know where you traveled last like I'm pretending

149

And we had just talked about New York City.

150

Yeah, I'm pretending to ask you questions like I don't know the answer.

151

Yeah.

152

But I kind of do.

153

So it was kind of a setup.

154

Oh, gosh.

155

Okay, well, yes, the last place that I traveled together with Mike was to Quebec City.

156

It was beautiful.

157

I loved hearing French all around.

158

I loved all the amazing food.

159

And actually, it was a surprise so um

160

Mike just said bring your passport a swimsuit

161

and there's one other thing I think oh she was like dancing shoes yes yes

162

because I knew there would be some salsa involved yes

163

and guys it was magical I I'll tell you more about it another time

164

but it was very magical yeah so

165

and I learned a new phrase in French my blonde oh yeah my girlfriend yes

166

so now you're and mon chum mon chum this is quebecois french anybody watching from quebec probably not

167

but if you are shout out let us know yeah help us learn more quebecois french yeah

168

or french french that could be the next video we can road trip back to quebec

169

and meet one of your viewers

170

who could teach us some quebecois french should we do travel

171

and english i think

172

that would be very fun i think that's where we're headed do you have any like memorable travel stories

173

that come to mind right away um i mean

174

when we went to quebec city like

175

that is just what we were talking about

176

but that's yeah that's very memorable

177

because i mean no one's ever surprised me with a trip like

178

that so the whole thing was just like a dream like you know i didn't know what to expect

179

and i think when you have those memorable experiences is

180

because you are surprised by something so if you go on a trip

181

and you have this expectation everything is exactly like as you had pictured it's not as memorable as

182

if you have a surprise like you meet some interesting people

183

or you learn new words or you see new places um

184

so yeah yeah and i i honestly for a few years i hadn't really traveled very much

185

so yeah that is more fresh in my memory okay yeah here locally

186

if again if i have a friend visiting or if my brother comes to visit where should i take them

187

for a weekend okay oh

188

if like for a whole weekend well no no no sorry

189

they're here for a weekend let's just keep it contained to three days okay yeah um

190

so i feel i feel bad recommending like most obvious places

191

but like one place

192

that you have to go here in this area is a park called fort williams park yes i agree

193

because it's just a beautiful park and they have a lot of cool old forts

194

but uh portland headlight lighthouse is there

195

and it's the most photographed lighthouse in the world to the best of my knowledge

196

and it's just a really beautiful place it's right by the water there's food trucks rolling hills there's food trucks

197

if you're into lobster you get a lobster roll oh yeah

198

so that's very main so

199

that would be a good spot to go um

200

i've seen people barbecue there too like they have grills yeah

201

it's a great place to bring your family for a party

202

or a picnic or grill out

203

or throw a little like get together with your friends yeah

204

they have tennis courts they have pickleball courts

205

they have oh all sorts of different things you can do i didn't know all

206

that yeah okay you can bring a dog oh a dog friendly park nice yeah so a great spot um

207

another place i really like is the botanical garden up in buffet oh yeah

208

i don't know about this you haven't been there no we'll have to go yeah

209

so there's a cool botanical garden up in buffet maine

210

and um what they're really famous for are these really huge wooden troll sculptures

211

i saw that on instagram yeah

212

so they're like 25 maybe taller feet tall like trolls like monsters made out of wood

213

and they're you just kind of like walk around the garden

214

and you sort of like magically discover a troll just kind of like oh my gosh

215

it comes out of nowhere and then of course like all the flowers

216

and the trees and cool things going on it's really beautiful wow

217

so that's a really good spot yeah yeah that would be fun

218

that would be fun for sure if they're into shopping at all um

219

because you know sometimes you like to shop when you travel so i would recommend going up to Freeport, Maine because specifically you have L .L.

220

Bean there and Maine is famous for L .L.

221

Bean.

222

Yes, L .L.

223

Bean, yeah and there's other shops too of course yep you got like patagonia outdoor shops

224

and good food up there there's some good restaurants so

225

that would be a fun north face too yep okay absolutely a lot of outdoor apparel shops yep

226

and then honestly just going downtown portland going to the old

227

port the old port uh seeing the old cobblestone streets yeah buildings

228

and it's just really lively in the summertime

229

there's lots of live music going on there's lots of good places to eat

230

there's it's just a it's a quintessential place to walk around

231

and experience Maine and Portland and lobster boats

232

and everything you'd see on a postcard about the area yes yeah love

233

it okay um let's see question for you about travel plans and experiences um

234

what type of traveler are you so like

235

when you go on vacation do you like to relax

236

and read books and just chill or do you like to be active

237

and go sightseeing and go hiking and do all

238

that kind of thing absolutely my favorite trips are

239

when there's some activity like hiking dancing or even just walking around a city

240

but like walking like 20 30 000 steps walking yeah um

241

so i do love that activity um i love exploring i'm not

242

so much of a sit on the beach all day

243

getting a tan kind of person uh i could do

244

that for a little while maybe you know half the day

245

or less but at the end of the day i love being out

246

and about exploring um meeting new people just seeing new things like immersing myself in

247

that place whether it's a natural environment like a hike

248

or a city so i would say yeah i'm an explorer i don't know

249

if that's a traveler type but i think it should be that's why we get along

250

so well yeah the same way like the idea of lying on the beach for hours

251

and hours no thank you i would need a lot of sunscreen

252

if you're into that god bless you that's great but or

253

if we go to the beach i would like to be doing something like surfing

254

or swimming or snorkeling yeah

255

and i also really like as much as possible to try to live like a local

256

when i'm traveling i mean sometimes you're just going to be a tourist

257

and you need to do tourist things

258

but i do really love finding the little hole in the wall restaurant

259

that only locals go to or the dive bar

260

and you know just hanging out with people who are living their lives

261

you know that's the best not just other tourists

262

i have a hack i have a life hack to share tell me

263

so when you're traveling if you want to know some of the best local spots to eat yeah ask a cop

264

oh my gosh ask a police officer i never thought of

265

that they're always out eating yeah they know the good spots

266

because they know the city very well yeah yeah wow that's a great tip

267

and they're usually i mean you can just go up

268

and talk to them they're usually out

269

and about yeah they're legally obligated to talk to you as long as you're polite

270

you know yeah um that's a great tip i'm trying to think well

271

this video is not about travel hacks maybe we'll have to

272

do another video about travel hacks yeah part five at this point is there any place

273

that you've traveled

274

that you wish you hadn't sorry

275

i don't want to throw any place under the bus right maybe i shouldn't ask

276

that let me how about this let me ask in a different way is there anywhere that you

277

enjoyed going you actually liked it

278

but you don't necessarily feel like you need to go back that's a good question let me think about

279

that okay think about that we don't have to answer

280

that we don't have to throw in any any place under the bus that's fair i've been on a hike

281

or two before yeah where you know i get to the end of the hike

282

and it's like oh like there were so many bugs

283

mosquitoes yeah like the trail itself wasn't the best

284

it didn't have a lot of good views yeah i know way better hikes than this yeah

285

so there's definitely a couple hikes where i'm like been there done

286

that don't need to go never gonna go back to

287

that again fair enough yeah is there anywhere locally

288

that you feel like is overhyped like like

289

because this is a touristic city

290

and we're very lucky to live here is there anywhere

291

that comes to mind

292

that you feel like everyone goes there i have one actually okay i have one

293

so i feel like there's i'm not gonna say the name specifically of the place

294

but there's there's a donut shop where everybody goes

295

and there's these long lines every day i know exactly the donut shop you're talking about

296

and i agree with you 100 you are dead on about

297

that and like they're good

298

but like really like like it's a little bit overhyped you're yeah you're 100 right about

299

that particular donut shop yeah so i always i try to look for places

300

that are not um like what's the word overhyped oversold over too touristy yeah um all right

301

so this is going to be controversial that's okay i'm not

302

i won't back down

303

i stand by my opinions okay even though i already recommended

304

them as a good place for a tourist to go

305

and visiting yes becky's diner is also a little bit overhyped

306

because it's a great place shout out becky's not putting you down um

307

but is it a place

308

that you want to wait an hour for sometimes the weights are really long especially in summer right

309

and like on a sunday morning yeah like any weekends

310

so like if you can just you know walk down the street

311

and boom there's a table available go to be yes for

312

sure yes um is it worth an hour of your time waiting for

313

i think there's other hidden gems yes which is a great phrase also there's

314

so many restaurants to try you just have to do a little research ask the cops i'm gonna get

315

so much hate on the comment section i don't know bring

316

it bring it about becky's yeah we'll see bring it folks have any of you been to portland maine

317

and specifically have you been to becky's

318

you can tell us in the comments again great spot yeah just not our long wait

319

it's okay we would we would still go yeah just yeah do we want to wait an hour no

320

that's a good question no yeah

321

i think some people like waiting in line right well not me yeah yeah especially

322

if you're hungry seriously yeah yeah depends uh who you're with i mean

323

i'd wait an hour in a line with you oh thanks well

324

we have a lot to talk about we do especially now

325

that we're practicing our small talk so much we're

326

so good at small talk by the end of this video

327

we will have talked about everything though we'll just be like yeah

328

we don't have anything more to talk about we've done it right here with you guys

329

that was nice knowing

330

you yeah no come back um okay next topic let's go next topic okay

331

i think you pick okay i think all right this is gonna be our last topic for this video

332

and if you're enjoying these small talk questions and answers

333

and us in general then you can tune in for a part two oh

334

so next time in part two we can count up the questions yes

335

and figure out how many we did in part one

336

and then actually keep track yes so that we actually hit 100 yes

337

and fulfill our promises we won't let you down

338

i'm a stickler for fulfilling promises yes i know i try to stand by my word okay

339

and if you want to help us count let us know how many questions

340

and answers we actually did i would appreciate

341

that i'm less of a math person more of an english person obviously

342

but also don't be that guy don't be like actually there was three questions in one

343

so really you hit 100 i mean sometimes it's hard to count

344

because we have follow -up questions

345

which i love i love a good follow -up question

346

but this video is not really about follow -up questions i do want to say

347

that if you like this topic

348

and you want to learn more with go natural english come to gonaturalenglish .com anyone

349

that is where you can find information about how to sign

350

up for my course about how to start a conversation with anyone

351

so there's that but we're not done yet we have one more topic

352

which is fitness

353

and hobbies oh fitness

354

we love some fitness um fitness cake in my mouth good

355

one okay whose turn is it to ask the question it would be me right

356

because you you chose the topic sure okay so do you work out i'm just kidding hey mike hey gabby

357

do you like to exercise yes i like to exercise

358

that's a great question um do you prefer going to the gym

359

or doing outdoors activities i mean

360

if i could only choose one definitely outdoor activities i'd much rather do

361

that but i like both like i like going to the gym

362

and lifting weights and focusing on certain areas um

363

but yeah i'd much rather be out hiking or kayaking

364

or getting my exercise in a more fun outdoorsy kind of way totally i do both okay yeah cool um

365

and what about you like what are some ways

366

that you get in exercise other than going to the gym yeah

367

so you know i love dancing

368

so that's a good amount of cardio i also love to hike

369

or kayak or walk my dog yeah those are different for me than going to the gym

370

because at the gym i lift weights

371

and it's just a different way to work out your body

372

so i like both but

373

if i had to only pick one it would be outdoor activities yeah oh

374

it's not it's my turn now isn't it do you have any hobbies

375

i have actually too many hobbies like that's kind of one

376

of my personality traits is I have lots of hobbies

377

and I'll get really into it then kind of move on to another one

378

so one of the hobbies though that i've had for years and years

379

and years on end is i'm really into tea yes i'm really into brewing tea chinese tea specifically chinese tea

380

so it's like a traditional way to brew tea called gong fu tea where you use like very small teapots

381

or a lidded cup they are small they're teeny tiny

382

you guys they're like they can fit in the palm of your hand

383

but you like pack them full of leaf

384

and then do like many infusions you brew the tea many times

385

and then like you get to see different aspects of the tea

386

and it's just like a good social thing so it's really good to do with friends and other people because then

387

the small talk in the conversation just kind of flows more naturally like

388

when you have something that kind of distracts you right or

389

that you can focus you can talk about the tea it makes the the taste yeah the experience

390

or other things right absolutely

391

so what have what hobby have you had maybe for the longest like what's a lifelong hobby

392

that you've done for a long time probably dance

393

because i've been doing latin dance for about 20 years now maybe a little bit more

394

but not super consistently i've done it sporadically just as the opportunity comes up you know

395

if there's a dance festival or maybe a fun event that's happening like later today we're gonna go to

396

so i haven't always been consistent with it even though i would say

397

i've done it for the longest amount of time

398

i've had a consistent interest i just haven't gone every single week to a dance class

399

i'd probably be a lot better than i am now but it's something that i've really um

400

just really enjoyed it gives me

401

it gives me a lot of joy to dance how did you first get into latin dance what got

402

you into it yeah i actually saw some performers at a festival locally here in portland

403

i think it was some kind of global arts festival

404

and i remember seeing a performance and i thought wow

405

that is so dynamic and just full of energy and joy

406

and like very um you know the music is upbeat

407

and i thought i want to learn to do that

408

so i know that you have a half marathon

409

that you're going to be doing soon yes yeah not super soon i still have some time to prepare

410

but yes i'm planning on doing the austin half marathon with a couple of friends there

411

so i'll have to start preparing a few months out i like to start training i don't know five

412

or six months in advance it's just the half marathon this time though

413

so maybe four

414

or five months in advance yeah 13 miles no biggie yeah no big deal um

415

i'm excited to do it with friends though this is the first time

416

that I've done something like

417

that with other people um it's just always been me you know training by myself

418

so it's a different experience to have friends to cheer each other on yeah yeah cool yeah um oh

419

I don't want to oh yeah yeah it's my turn do you like water sports

420

um I mean I love to snorkel

421

so I used to live in Maui Hawaii for a

422

while I was there for five and a half years

423

and i had my own snorkel gear and i had my favorite snorkel spots

424

that i would go to certain beaches that were really great

425

and those i will not tell you

426

because i'm not going to blow those up hawaii super secret yeah hawaii is the type of place where like

427

if you got some really good local spots

428

you can't tell you can tell your friends to bring those secrets to the grave with you

429

but i'm not going to tell your two million plus sorry

430

guys sorry guys sorry um unless you live in maui then we'll come visit you

431

and we can talk about all the best places to go snorkeling well yeah

432

so as far as water sports go i mean i kayak as well

433

so you know i like being on top of the water in the kayak i love snorkeling um

434

but i've never done like um like water skiing or anything like

435

that yeah no i think you and i we figured out something particular

436

that we like to not use like motorized things like like the jet ski

437

or water ski we like to be um like self -propelled yeah like on our own two feet

438

or in the water just you know maybe a surfboard is okay

439

but yeah but not something that's motorized we like to use our muscles and

440

when you're just sitting on a jet ski to me

441

it's not as interesting yeah as like using your own muscles yeah

442

um here's an interesting question yeah what is a more intellectual pursuit

443

or hobby that you have like maybe it's like reading a certain type of books

444

or a certain topic that you're really interested in uh

445

so i find myself really curious about a lot of different topics

446

but the first thing that came to mind was languages

447

because i don't just like teaching english i love learning other languages

448

i like learning how they're structured i like learning um like phrases

449

that exist in one language but not another and I love

450

Yeah, I love learning, like, how that reflects on the culture, too.

451

Or, like, when I practice Japanese, you know, learning the different characters, I'm getting excited just talking about it.

452

I love it.

453

Yeah, yeah, but that's always been my thing.

454

Can I put you on the spot?

455

Of course, sure.

456

Do you have an example of a phrase used in one language but not others?

457

Well, like, yeah.

458

So there's a couple

459

that come to mind like in japanese natsukashi means like it's hard to it's hard for me to translate

460

it's kind of like oh that's

461

so um oh what's the word like uh nostalgic like uh

462

or like oh no no sorry not nostalgic natsukashi is like i'm you guys

463

you're gonna have to correct me in the comments

464

because i'm not gonna do this justice at all um

465

but it seems to me

466

that it's a hard word to translate also the word in portuguese saudade

467

that one is like a longing for something like oh saudade you said is like i miss you

468

but it's more than miss it's like my soul longs for you it's like very

469

so i'll need to learn this one saudade you said doesn't it sound nice it's gonna come in handy

470

so often with us it's in a lot of songs too it's such a beautiful word yeah

471

so shout out to uh to the portuguese speakers

472

and the japanese speakers ciao ciao not quite ciao

473

but um all right well do we have any other any other questions i'm sure we could think of more

474

but i feel like you guys might need a break we might need a break we've talked about food

475

so much i'm actually getting hungry like for real for real for real

476

so i think that we're gonna wrap this up

477

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.
