1
Greenland.
2
Greenland is close to us.
3
Greenland is close to us?
4
Um, kind of.
5
Today we're going to learn all about apartment English or house English,
6
home English, English vocabulary words that you would use around your house, around your apartment.
7
You can follow along with today's video and repeat after me to practice speaking, to practice the vocabulary that we talk about.
8
I've also created a guide for you, a PDF guide for you that you can download
9
and use to help you remember all of the things that I talk about in this video.
10
You can get that from the link down below
11
and you will also be added to my email list where
12
you'll receive a free weekly English lesson every week directly to your email inbox.
13
So this is actually the perfect time for me to make this video because one,
14
we just had friends stay with us for one week and so my apartment is very messy
15
so I'm going to be cleaning it along with you.
16
You can join me while I clean my apartment today, and we can learn some important vocabulary words related to cleaning.
17
And also, this is a good time to make this video because we're about to move.
18
We're going to be moving very soon to a new place, a new home.
19
So I thought to myself, why not show you the process?
20
Some cleaning, packing, all that good stuff that's a little bit messy.
21
I'm not going to show you a perfect home because I have a young child at home.
22
My house is almost never clean.
23
So you will see, excuse me, you will see the reality of what a normal apartment home
24
looks like living with a small child compared to a lot of other North Americans who have a family, who have children.
25
Our home is very small.
26
We live in a small one-bedroom apartment in the city downtown.
27
Let me know what your living arrangement is, especially if you have kids.
28
Do you live in a big house?
29
Do you live in a big apartment, a small apartment?
30
Let me know in the comments down below.
31
All right, let's get started.
32
someone's here i'll unlock the door
33
and open up the door these are
34
the hooks where we hang our keys here's our front closet and inside our front closet it.
35
We have jackets, sweaters, beach toys,
36
hangers for hanging up our jackets and sweaters.
37
My son's rain jackets because it rains a lot in the city.
38
Down at the bottom, it's extremely messy right now,
39
but we have a shoe rack where we keep all of our shoes.
40
Over here we have some equipment, so my son's bike seat which attaches to my husband's bike and a few other odds and ends here.
41
Hmm, and what's up here on the shelf?
42
We have some bike helmets and some of my son's toys.
43
This is a terrarium that he likes to put insects in from the park.
44
Slow beetles like apples.
45
They do?
46
Slow ones but those ones are fast so they don't like apples.
47
Oh what do fast beetles like?
48
They like seeds, sticks, and Oh, just those.
49
Just those?
50
Okay.
51
So what is this roly-poly doing?
52
He's laying down, but now he's crawling up.
53
Oh, was he playing dead?
54
Pretending to be dead?
55
No. Yeah, he was pretending, but now he crawls.
56
Yeah, I think they do that when they're scared, but he seems okay.
57
We have some boxes here.
58
Storage boxes, which contain scarves and hats and other winter items
59
and then some other outdoor equipment and toys up at the top there.
60
So let's close the closet doors.
61
Oops, something is sticking out.
62
Ah, a rain jacket.
63
That's better.
64
And let's continue.
65
This is a giant world map that we hung on the wall for my son
66
because he's really interested in learning some of the countries of the world.
67
What's this one called?
68
I don't know.
69
Greenland.
70
Greenland is close to us.
71
Greenland is close to us.
72
Um, kinda.
73
Where were you born?
74
At lots of places.
75
A lot of places?
76
Yeah.
77
You were born here in Vancouver.
78
And at Turkey, too.
79
You've been to Turkey.
80
Yeah, you've been to Turkey.
81
We traveled to Turkey when you were a baby.
82
I just hopped out.
83
It looks like he made the dinosaur go to India.
84
And got a little shark in the water here.
85
Like every parent, I have my son's artwork on the wall.
86
More art that you've probably seen in some of my other YouTube videos.
87
And down this tiny hallway here, we've got, I don't know what you would call this thing.
88
A local artist made this out of wood this triangular mini shelf
89
and really it's just where we keep our sunglasses
90
and some of our random cards that we share my my husband
91
and I such as our laundry card for doing laundry in
92
our apartment building tour guide extraordinaire oops I almost tripped over something on the floor here as I'm cleaning.
93
We have an inflatable mattress because we went on a little trip this past weekend and we needed an extra bed.
94
So that's an inflatable mattress and then underneath it is a cooler
95
which we used to keep our food cool on our road trip.
96
In here we've got our bathroom.
97
Hello.
98
Shower curtain.
99
bathtub hello bathtub a drawing a painting maybe I'm not sure a painting
100
or a drawing of one of our favorite places beautiful mountain
101
around here on the floor we have a step stool for my son
102
so that he can reach the sink to brush his teeth
103
and wash his hands and we also have his bath toys down there
104
So he plays with all of those things when he takes baths.
105
I'm actually not sure
106
if I need to show you a lot of the details of the bathroom
107
because I have another YouTube video on this channel all about bathroom vocabulary.
108
Bathroom vocabulary.
109
I can't speak.
110
So if you want to see, to learn bathroom vocabulary in detail, go check out that video as well.
111
Here we've got some lotions and powders, towels hanging up, a hand towel here to dry your hands,
112
our toothbrushes in a cup, and here is some hand soap to wash our hands.
113
I'm turning on the faucet, I'm turning on the cold water and turning it off, and now I'm turning on the hot water and turning it off.
114
Here's our toothpaste and my son's toothpaste for kids.
115
This is some air freshener, Febreze air freshener for stinky bathroom situations.
116
And this is a medicine cabinet.
117
You may have seen me do this in one of my other videos.
118
We have this little portable washing machine that we hook up to our shower
119
and this just allows us to do laundry in our apartment instead of going downstairs in our apartment building.
120
Here's our dirty laundry hamper.
121
I'm gonna take the dirty laundry and yeah there's a lot of it.
122
I'm gonna put that into the laundry machine and take some laundry detergent or laundry soap.
123
Cheers!
124
And I'll pour that into the laundry machine and get our laundry started.
125
Like I said, we just had some guests visiting us and
126
so a project that I have to do today is strip the beds, strip the sheets from the beds,
127
the pillowcases, and wash all of that stuff.
128
You can see here our big pile of sheets and pillowcases that I need to wash.
129
This is our hallway closet, so I'll open this up.
130
And in here we have our recycling bins on the bottom.
131
We also have a lot of our cleaning supplies in this closet, so you'll see our vacuum cleaner hanging on the wall here,
132
charging our broom for sweeping, and all sorts of odds and ends at the top of the closet here.
133
I'll close this closet.
134
Then turning to the left, we have our kitchen.
135
It's a small kitchen, so it gets messy pretty quickly.
136
Here are our dirty dishes that I need to wash.
137
And to the right here, our drying rack.
138
Let's see what my son's up to.
139
So we've kind of made a mess over here, but that's okay, because look what we made.
140
This cool cardboard airplane.
141
Wow.
142
Dory, do you want to show what it does?
143
Yeah.
144
What does it do?
145
What did we make?
146
It lands, it flies, and they make a lot of different kinds.
147
Yeah.
148
What are all these things that we made here?
149
A steering wheel?
150
Yeah.
151
What are these?
152
What did we make?
153
Make an airplane!
154
An airplane!
155
Yeah.
156
And it has a map.
157
And it has a compass.
158
Buttons.
159
Yeah, buttons.
160
A radar.
161
So if we see another airplane, we can get out of the way.
162
Okay.
163
And then what are these things?
164
These are wings.
165
Those are the wings?
166
Cool.
167
This is wings too.
168
Okay.
169
Awesome.
170
I put airplanes on the airplane.
171
You put airplanes on your airplanes?
172
Yeah, look.
173
These are airplanes.
174
Oh yeah, cool.
175
Airplane stamps.
176
Nice.
177
And how did we make this?
178
Did we use tape?
179
Yep.
180
Big tape. And cardboard?
181
Yeah, cardboard cardboard box and tape.
182
I love what you've done with this.
183
It looks beautiful.
184
I think maybe I'm too big.
185
I don't think I'll fit in this airplane.
186
What do you think?
187
I can't.
188
I know.
189
I won't try.
190
I won't try to get in.
191
You're right.
192
I'd probably break your airplane.
193
It's just for kids, right?
194
A gigantic monster will break our house.
195
Are we going to move soon?
196
Yeah.
197
Where are we going to move?
198
Into a bigger house?
199
Bigger apartment?
200
Look.
201
Oh, you got some stamp on your finger.
202
What happened to this finger?
203
You have a boo-boo?
204
Why do you have a boo-boo?
205
I cut.
206
You cut it?
207
I cut.
208
Some people cut his eyes.
209
Yeah, sometimes people cut their eyes.
210
Ouch.
211
Like this.
212
Mm-hmm.
213
Ow.
214
Mm-hmm.
215
Cut it with scissors in his eyes.
216
With scissors in their eyes?
217
Yeah, that's why we can never, never run when we're holding scissors, right?
218
Never run with scissors.
219
and cut our legs.
220
Yeah.
221
Never.
222
Never run with scissors.
223
We just walk.
224
Yeah.
225
Walk with scissors.
226
Walk.
227
Yeah.
228
But I think we can't jump with scissors either.
229
Yeah, no jumping while we're holding scissors.
230
Yeah, good.
231
And no turning.
232
Yeah, no turning.
233
No spinning with scissors.
234
And no jumping, no going on the stairs.
235
Yeah, just walking and standing when we're holding scissors, right?
236
Okay, so I'm going to vacuum our house now and then probably mop the floors after this.
237
After having three little kids in our house, so my son plus my friend's two kids, the floor is like pretty sticky,
238
so I'm probably going to clean the floors after this.
239
I stumbled upon a little pile of rocks.
240
This is something that always happens in my house.
241
My son seems to collect rocks everywhere he goes.
242
And now I'm going to finish cleaning the kitchen, putting away some recycling, and mostly just putting the dishes away.
243
And now the laundry is done, so I'm hanging it up to dry on the drying racks.
244
Hopefully it won't take too long to dry.
245
and now I'm running around trying to tidy up the living room
246
because there are toys everywhere as usual
247
and then I actually needed to take a little break from cleaning
248
because my son's auntie came over to visit us
249
so she's here playing with my son
250
and we're just going to take a little bit of a break from cleaning for today.
251
There are a lot of things that I have not had a chance to tell you about yet today, such as our packing and our moving,
252
and also getting ready for my son's birthday party.
253
So I'm going to share all of that with you in my next video.
254
If you'd like to watch more real life natural English, watch this video next, and I will see you very, very soon.

Pronuncia a cui fare attenzione
Chi parla usa 57 contrazioni e forme ridotte, come I'm, we're, I'll. Pronunciale nella forma breve, così come le senti.
- I suoni “th”: bathtub /ˈbæθtʌb/, toothpaste /ˈtuθpeɪst/, toothbrush /ˈtuːθ.bɹʌʃ/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
- I suoni “sh” e “zh”: freshener /ˈfɹɛ.ʃə.nər/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, dish /dɪʃ/, shoe /ˈʃu/, lotion /ˈloʊʃən/
- Parole lunghe — attenzione all’accento: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, inflatable /ɪnˈfleɪtəbəl/, extraordinaire /ɪkˌstɹɔː(ɹ).dɪˈnɛː(ɹ)/, terrarium /təˈɹɛɹ.i.əm/, triangular /tɹaɪˈæŋ.ɡjə.lɚ/
I suoni difficili per chi parla italiano:
- /h/ — va soffiata, non è muta: hallway /ˈhɔlˌweɪ/, hamper /ˈhæm.pɚ/, hanger /ˈhæŋ.ə/, helmet /ˈhɛlmɪt/
- Consonante finale — senza aggiungere una vocale dopo: scissors /ˈsɪzəz/, closet /ˈklɑzɪt/, cardboard /ˈkɑɹdˌbɔɹd/, jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, rack /ɹæk/
- /æ/ — più aperta della “e”: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, jacket /ˈd͡ʒæk.ɪt/, rack /ɹæk/, bathtub /ˈbæθtʌb/, mattress /ˈmætɹɪs/
Come esercitarsi con questo video
- Ascolta tutto il video una volta senza parlare e annota le parole che non conosci.
- Fai shadowing frase per frase a velocità normale, ripetendo ognuna finché il tuo ritmo coincide con quello di chi parla.
- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come airplane, laundry, scissors.
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.
