1
Good morning guys
2
As a lot of you guys know I moved to New
3
York very recently like a month ago I quickly picked up
4
on how many people drink coffee here I would say at least 80% of the people here drink coffee
5
and it's almost weirder
6
if you don't I've never been in a city where there's
7
this many coffee shops I just really need to take the opportunity
8
while i'm living in the city to try all the amazing coffee shops Well, we'll see.
9
I don't know.
10
Maybe they're not amazing.
11
That's what we're gonna find out today I just wanted to go around to test them with you guys
12
So the first coffee shop we're gonna be going to is
13
called partners The reason i'm going to this one first is
14
because this is the only one in this video
15
that I have tried I wanted to start at a coffee shop that I know is like a good base Baseline, I don't know, but I think it's a good way to start the video
16
and like set the tone We're setting the bar high to start.
17
I have a problem with filming in public.
18
I just can't do it I'm so awkward in public.
19
Like I really hate filming in public
20
and I've tried to overcome it I've tried to look past it and just be brave, but it's never been easy for me
21
And I don't think it ever will be that's what's gonna
22
be hard about today For me is i'm gonna be filming in every coffee shop like by myself and i'm scared, you know, I really am but Whatever
23
Can I do a vanilla iced oat latte please?
24
Look who I saw randomly in this coffee shop.
25
Why are you following me everywhere?
26
I was here first.
27
So the real reason I came to this coffee shop first is because my friend is here.
28
Say hi guys.
29
Okay, so everyone's looking at me already.
30
How do you do it?
31
Hi.
32
So Sydney is here at Partners Coffee in the West Village.
33
This place is the bomb.
34
They've got a bathroom.
35
They've got Wi-Fi.
36
Bathrooms are hot commodities here.
37
They literally are.
38
It's really frustrating when you have to use a bathroom and you can't.
39
It's very important and there's lots of seating and they have really...
40
Well, is there?
41
Well, if you can get a seat, you're gonna love it because their food is good, their coffee slaps.
42
And that's my review.
43
Thank you so much.
44
I'll give it a 9.75 out of 10.
45
I can't take the pressure.
46
I've had this coffee before but I'm gonna try it as like a baseline as we discussed.
47
This is the vanilla omic latte and I decided I'm gonna get the same thing
48
because then otherwise it's too hard to compare.
49
If I get different coffee items at different places, what's the baseline?
50
What is that in science?
51
Like what do they call it?
52
Like the the controlled variable.
53
So like do I act like I've never had this before?
54
Like it's smooth and there's a balance between too much espresso and too much milk.
55
And this is the perfect balance.
56
And it's the perfect sweetness.
57
I love my coffee a little bit sweet though.
58
It is very smooth too.
59
It's like a creamy smooth, it's a good coffee.
60
I'm gonna rate it a four and a half like is
61
that even allowed no no no i don't have to fight i also got food here
62
because i'm hungry i haven't eaten breakfast yet
63
and i got this avocado toast most coffee shops i feel
64
like don't have like a menu this place has a full food menu
65
which is really nice i also feel
66
so weird holding this by the way don't ask i wanted
67
a microphone to be professional today like things are changing i'm I'm stepping up my content.
68
Oh my god.
69
You have an ASMR.
70
The crud.
71
I'm sobbing.
72
Wait, this is also very good.
73
You were right.
74
There's like lemon or something?
75
I don't know.
76
Yeah.
77
And also there's like a citrusy lemon.
78
I love the sprouts.
79
I don't know what, like the rad, is that radish?
80
They always put that, but I never really like eat it, honestly.
81
Actually, no, it tastes kind of good.
82
Oh wait.
83
Yeah, I kind of like it.
84
Maybe I should start eating it.
85
It's just like crunchy water.
86
The bread is good.
87
It's a very like, what is a sourdough or?
88
I'm like, I'm not a food reviewer guys.
89
Like, oh my god.
90
Like i'm probably the last person that should be doing this Okay,
91
starting off strong delicious Okay,
92
guys i'm now at joe's coffee Which i've never been to before
93
and i'm also filming in public like I really hope I hope you guys I hope this is worth it.
94
I just found this place on google
95
It was really cute
96
and quaint in there was more of a less of a
97
modern vibe more of a rustic homey vibe I want to be in a coffee shop
98
that is nice to be in i'm all about the ambiance and the environment But you may be wondering well, then why are you sitting outside with your coffee?
99
I'm sitting right in front of it
100
because there's no seats anywhere I just want to sit in peace and drink my coffee.
101
So i'm out front right now.
102
Like that's the window Oh my god, there's people right there.
103
That's the inside and they have like a little Outside area.
104
Wow.
105
And like look at the cords like this is so ratchet.
106
I'm sorry I'm literally not a professional.
107
Okay.
108
I don't even know why I have this coffee here is very expensive Of course
109
and it does hurt every single time I buy a coffee
110
the last place I went to partners I think the coffee was seven dollars, which to me is still very expensive Just compared to what i'm used to
111
but i'd say that's pretty standard here now like around seven dollars for a latte So anyways, this was seven dollars also
112
wait why is this so bad i'm shocked
113
that i don't like this this much the espresso in this for my liking is way too strong
114
which looking at it i wouldn't have expected
115
that it looks fine also the espresso has it tastes like
116
dates to me almost like they sweetened it with like dates
117
i have a specific dislike towards dates i i really don't like them i'm so confused why it tastes like this.
118
Maybe it's just the type of coffee bean that I don't like.
119
One star.
120
This was pretty easy to rate for me because I'm shocked that I didn't like it this much.
121
Anyways, to the next one we go.
122
Okay, I'm
123
at the next coffee shop.
124
It's called Stump...
125
town it was highly rated on google
126
and that's why i'm here this is the latte looks very heavy on the espresso the aesthetic
127
and the vibes in here are very nice it's very cozy
128
and it's warm i hate when i'm in a coffee shop
129
and i'm freezing the whole time i don't know how i'm gonna drink four more coffees after this
130
it's a lot more milky
131
and creamy than i thought i expected to be very heavy on the espresso like the last place just
132
because of how dark it is it's not too strong in
133
the espresso this has a pretty good balance it also has
134
a good amount of sweetness it's not too overly sweet
135
but the vanilla flavor is still prominent enough i don't know
136
it's good is it great no oh my god i feel i'm being too loud like i'm like it's not
137
that good i'm like right in front of the employees i'm gonna give this a three
138
and a half guys i don't know how much more i can drink my stomach is
139
it's hurting a little bit
140
so remember how i was telling you guys there's no bathrooms anywhere well
141
because of that and because i drank so much coffee i had to pee
142
so i came back to my apartment it's seriously such an
143
inconvenience like i never will take for granted public bathrooms again the The amount of coffee I've drank today, it's probably not a good thing for my health,
144
but we're gonna go drink more because I still have to go to more places.
145
This next place is called Fellini.
146
I walk by it basically every day, and I've always wanted to stop there because it's different.
147
There's not even an indoors.
148
It's almost like a drive-thru except for you don't drive.
149
It's like a walk-thru.
150
I'm gonna go try it and see how it is.
151
Let's go drink even more coffee, and hopefully I don't get sick.
152
I feel like very public right now.
153
I'm on the side of the road.
154
Honestly guys can I just explain something?
155
I think my big fear around filming in public is mostly because I don't want to end up on what's that called?
156
It's called influencers in the wild.
157
If I ended up on that I don't think you guys would ever see me again because I'd probably quit social media.
158
What's so cute about this place like I was saying is it's on a corner
159
so it's the tiniest little coffee shop and there's only outdoor seating because there is no indoors.
160
This is the coffee I got.
161
I don't have a straw or a lid
162
because I just was too lazy honestly like I've done that too many times today.
163
I hope it's like stirred up enough.
164
I've noticed that every place the espresso does taste a bit different
165
and this one I'm trying to describe it there's only
166
so many ways to describe coffee guys i'm sorry i'm running out of words it's very like a roasted is
167
that does it make sense like a roasted coffee is what
168
it what i'm gathering oh my god it's a cute guy i need to stop filming guys i would say
169
that this is in second place compared to partners
170
which is still my favorite the very first one in this video also the employees here are
171
so nice these are definitely the nicest employees i've encountered all day i love nice baristas.
172
It honestly makes a really big difference.
173
Actually, the more I'm drinking, it's more I like it.
174
I would say this is definitely more of an authentic coffee bean flavor.
175
Sometimes the vanilla that they use can taste almost fake, which I hate that.
176
I would rather it taste more like pure vanilla.
177
So I like that this isn't super sweet
178
and it does have more of that roasted coffee beaten flavor
179
so i would give this one a four hour out of
180
five the first one i went to partners is still first place like i don't know
181
if anything's gonna be able to beat that
182
okay guys so i'm home now i really wanted to try this last one in the cafe but i couldn't because
183
like everywhere else they had no seats
184
and I even waited I stuck around for a little bit I was like is someone gonna leave
185
so I can sit down and try this with you guys
186
and no one left so then I just gave it up
187
and I left
188
but this last place is called Amano Cafe as you guys
189
probably saw in the videos it's definitely more modern in there
190
and I love it I love the architecture I love the
191
like light things the circle light spheres I don't know it's cute in there I enjoyed it
192
and to be honest my head is hurting i think now
193
i have a headache what kills me the most is
194
that i've drank so much coffee like i could have just had a couple sips of each
195
but i've drank the entire cup of every one except for
196
that joe's one everyone i drank the whole thing for no reason
197
a mono cafe here we go guys they're kind of all
198
tasting the same guys they're blending in my brain i don't know
199
if it's because i've had so much caffeine
200
that i can't even think anymore but like how many words can i use to describe coffee.
201
I don't know.
202
I guess I would say this one is like a bit more dull.
203
There's not as strong of like a coffee vanilla flavor.
204
It's also not super sweet.
205
The vanilla, they definitely went quite a bit lighter with the vanilla in this, which for me, I love the vanilla.
206
Like I need my coffee to have sugar.
207
I would rate this if I had to rate it.
208
I'm still going to give this one a three.
209
Honestly, what's crazy is that the first one, Partners, ended up being my favorite.
210
I also like that they have a bathroom there, which you would think isn't a big deal.
211
But like I've said, there's not bathrooms hardly anywhere in New York.
212
Anyways, I hope you guys liked this video.
213
I hope it was fun.
214
I definitely had a lot of fun actually kind of going around and testing the lattes.
215
I will say all the lattes today were $7.
216
I don't know what it is, but they were all seven something.
217
Moral of the story, if you guys are ever in New York and you want a coffee spot, I would try partners.
218
That's my favorite.
219
I love you guys.
220
Thanks for watching never drinking coffee again.
221
So This was a good send-off for me.
222
Love you guys and i'll see you next sunday.
223
Bye guys

Video consigliato

Il contesto: una giornata tra i caffè di New York

Il video racconta l'esperienza di una persona che, appena trasferita a New York, decide di esplorare i caffè della città. Il dialogo è un mix di conversazione spontanea, descrizioni di luoghi e emozioni personali, perfetto per capire come si parla in situazioni reali. Da "I moved to New York very recently" a "their coffee slaps", il linguaggio è colloquiale e ricco di espressioni utili per chi vuole migliorare la pratica di conversazione in inglese.

Frasi e collocazioni da memorizzare

  • "Picked up on": Capire o notare qualcosa. Esempio: "I quickly picked up on how many people drink coffee here".
  • "Set the tone": Stabilire l'atmosfera. Esempio: "I wanted to start at a coffee shop that sets the tone".
  • "Hot commodities": Cose rare e richieste. Esempio: "Bathrooms are hot commodities here".
  • "Slaps" (colloquiale): Essere eccellente. Esempio: "Their coffee slaps".
  • "Baseline": Punto di riferimento. Esempio: "I'm gonna try it as a baseline".

La tua sfida: shadowing in inglese

Per migliorare la pronuncia e la fluidità, usa la tecnica del shadowing: ascolta un frammento del video (2-3 secondi), pausa e ripete immediatamente, imitando l'intonazione e il ritmo. Scegli parti come "I don't know, maybe they're not amazing" o "Why are you following me everywhere?" e ripetile finché non li senti naturali. Un shadowing site può aiutarti a gestire i tempi, ma anche un semplice player con pausa funziona. Ricorda: il shadowspeak (o shadow speak) è una tecnica provata per acquisire confidenza nella conversazione. Prova ora e nota la differenza!

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.
