Welcome to a Comprehensible Input vlog.
2
Today I'm going to be flying from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh City and I'm going to bring you guys along.
3
I'm just packing up my last few things here.
4
Got my suitcase.
5
I'm checking this one.
6
It has my clothes and other items in there.
7
And then my carry-on is just my backpack.
8
So we're going to head out very soon, get a grab to the airport.
9
And then wait for our flight.
10
We'll need to check in maybe two hours early for a domestic flight.
11
So we don't need to be there super early.
12
It's raining a little bit today but the ride wasn't too long.
13
It was maybe 30 minutes.
14
Traffic was not too bad but we are here now.
15
I think we gotta check in.
16
with Vietnam Airlines and then we'll go to our flight but they land at two o'clock.
17
I don't know how long the flight is.
18
I think it's maybe two hours.
19
We'll be in Ho Chi Minh City so not too busy here right now.
20
We have the Vietnam Airlines check-in.
21
Obviously there's only two airlines in the domestic terminal.
22
There's There's Via Jet Airlines and there's Vietnam Airlines.
23
So Vietnam Airlines is the more premium one and Via Jet is the less premium one.
24
Okay, we are at the check-in counter now.
25
Not too busy, just the way I like it.
26
And we're going to put our bags in.
27
I have one bag.
28
Wilk has two bags.
29
And then we each have our own carry-ons on
30
so we're a little bit early our flight only takes off at 11 20
31
and it is 8 45 right now so
32
just over two hours before our flight takes off we should
33
be able to check in okay we are checking in now bag here here.
34
Gotta weigh our bag.
35
How much is that?
36
Oh, only...
37
It was like 18 and...
38
I guess it's not that heavy.
39
It's only...
40
Say nothing about my stuff, but I feel like I have it.
41
It's only 14.
42
Okay, we're gonna weigh Boca's bag now.
43
I know that thing's gonna be heavy.
44
Dude, only 22 kgs?
45
This thing's gotta...
46
This thing's gotta be way off.
47
I knew mine was heavier than that one.
48
Not that heavy.
49
Because usually the standard limit is 20 kgs.
50
You can buy more but not super heavy.
51
Okay, so we checked in.
52
We just got our boarding pass.
53
And now we're gonna go through security.
54
Being a domestic terminal, security is a lot lighter than international terminals.
55
So it should be really fast and they don't need to stamp our passport
56
or anything we could just walk right in so
57
boarding gates are over there let's head there right now okay
58
so we just got through security it was just over there
59
it was really quick there were not a lot of people
60
and i did forget a lot of stuff on my body though
61
so i had to take that off
62
and this terminal is not very big it's just a big
63
rectangle they do have a nike store though i'd have to
64
go cop some nike merch yeah i'm low-key you can eat a breakfast burger well let's walk around
65
and see what they got in this small domestic terminal i do have a little bit of a headache
66
because i think i'm dehydrated but i'm gonna fix
67
that before our flight they have a lot of seating here
68
which is really nice i like to see that we We don't have to get Vietnamese food.
69
I mean, we're going to Ho Chi Minh, so.
70
Well, usually, no, I doubt it.
71
If you look at these prices, honestly, Burger King is probably going to be the cheapest.
72
It's going to be at least 150k.
73
Yeah.
74
For a sandwich, 168.
75
So these are the prices.
76
At least 100,000.
77
But I want water and I want something small to eat before we fly.
78
Here we have a flight board.
79
these are all the flights
80
that are going from 8 45 to 1 p.m they are using 24 hour time here
81
so it says 1300 hours but that is 1 p.m
82
and then this is the terminal okay
83
so it's like a what shape would you call that okay
84
so i found the first thing i wanted to find some water i don't know
85
if i'm going to trust this water though
86
if it's cold that'd be nice
87
but i highly doubt it let's test it out though
88
that is warm so for the water dispensers here there are two different ones
89
and they each have a few differences so this one is a little bit lower this one is higher they're both
90
shiny metal most likely stainless steel this one the lower one has been used less
91
because there's less water droplets on it
92
and the bigger one has been used more
93
and you can see here there used to be a sign here
94
but they scraped that thing off and they replaced it with
95
that sign okay
96
so we are on the second floor of this terminal now they have the burger king up here i think
97
that is the only restaurant up here and the rest of these sections are like lounges so they have the
98
vietcom priority lounge techcom bank private lounge it's actually the first time i've seen bank lounges
99
and not airline ban lounges which is really funny not my bank so
100
really interesting to see that i've not seen that before
101
but i think we're just gonna get some water now i don't think i'm
102
that hungry honestly i think i'm just dehydrated
103
so let's uh just go get something to drink
104
and then go wait for our flight take a look at these other lounges here they got some food here
105
or something i don't know which lounge this is
106
but it looks really nice
107
so i'll tell you guys the name right away okay here we got another bank lounge VP Bank now
108
if you know Vietnam you know that's the best bank they have no fees for foreigner cards
109
so okay so this is the Vietnam Airlines lounge
110
so that's cool to see okay
111
so we just bought some water two bottles Aquafina we just
112
bought it from here obviously they're taxing a little bit on the airports
113
but 20 000 for this bottle is double right double the normal price
114
which i guess isn't that bad i've seen some
115
that are like it's a dollar so it's really not
116
that bad yeah it's not that bad
117
but what was the country where water was expensive i think
118
malaysia malaysia the water was cheap as well like 50 cents
119
yeah the cheapest place was indonesia yeah malaysia was expensive for water i think it was just the currency though
120
because they're not going to charge less than one ring it for a bottle of water.
121
When you have a currency like that that's like strong now you kind of get screwed.
122
So okay so we found somewhere to sit right in front of our gate.
123
Our gate is number seven.
124
We have about an hour and a half of waiting until they start checking in
125
and then we'll go make our way there
126
but you got a charging station right there you can charge your phone
127
but one tip for those charging stations is never plug your cable directly into those usb ports
128
that they have built into them because people can put malware into those usb ports
129
so it can take over your phone take over your laptop
130
so never plug your phone directly always use a charging brick in between them rather than
131
that we're going to wait here
132
and it will come back once we start boarding our flight okay to go line up now
133
it's two minutes past the boarding was supposed to start
134
but it didn't really announce it but everybody else is lining up
135
and I'm not in a rush to get on the plane.
136
I just don't want to have to put my bag away from my seat
137
which is why I want to get on earlier
138
but people like lining up here so they haven't even announced it yet
139
or anything but yeah somebody thought that was a good idea.
140
The line is already decently long.
141
That's our gate all the way over there
142
and yeah we're gonna wait wait to be bored we are
143
close to the front now usually they have different boarding groups
144
and even on my boarding pass here it says we're group three
145
but i don't think they follow that for these domestic flights
146
so if you pay for like first class
147
or they call it sky boss here you can go to the fast lane
148
which is on that side but any other passenger they just get in line and then go check it.
149
Okay so I just scanned my passport, scanned my boarding pass and it looks like we're going on a bus right now.
150
So rarely you get on a bus before the flight to get to the plane
151
but I guess this is one of the occasions.
152
Usually it's at the end of the flight you get on the bus and that brings you to the main terminal.
153
that's how they keep the flight
154
so cheap by taking out on a bus instead of using
155
a jet bridge to bring us to the flight anyway this bus is starting to look a little packed
156
so hopefully we can get in there get to the plane busy
157
we're getting off the bus now and we have to board from the back
158
that's the front this is the back because we're sitting closer to the back
159
okay so we're on the flight now we're close to the wing
160
it's actually boarding a lot faster
161
when you board in from two different sides i actually like it more
162
and there was room for me to put my bag on top as well so that was nice.
163
This is a short flight.
164
It's like what two hours?
165
Two hour flight.
166
We're basically flying the whole length of Vietnam from Hanoi to Ochi Min City.
167
So it'll be a nice quick flight on Vietjet Airlines.
168
We'll see you guys when we land.
169
Okay we are disembarking now.
170
Bye bye.
171
We're getting off now. And Boka's over there.
172
We're going to zoom now.
173
Getting off domestic flights is way faster.
174
Most likely we're going to be waiting for our bags because we're going to go through so fast.
175
This thing right here that we just walked through and that we're currently walking through.
176
I didn't know what it was called but this kid informed me.
177
A jetway or passenger boarding bridge.
178
So I don't know if you caught that audio but jetway
179
or passenger boarding bridge that's what it's called and it low-key makes sense because we're boarding onto a jet.
180
Anyway it is 36 degrees in Saigon right now and that is extremely hot.
181
It was actually really nice weather in Hanoi and now we're coming back to the heat
182
I don't know if I'm looking forward to that but we'll see when we go inside.
183
Let's go get our bags.
184
I don't think we even need to do anything.
185
We could just walk to the baggage carousel.
186
So let's go get our bags and then make our way to our hotel because it is right about check-in time now.
187
So we can go check-in and drop off all of our luggage.
188
There we go.
189
I was right.
190
We are in the baggage pickup area.
191
I don't know if it has a specific name.
192
but these right here those are baggage carousels
193
and they spin moving around your luggage and other bags
194
so you can pick them up
195
and take them with you conveyor belt just started spinning
196
and the first couple bags are going to start coming out now we just picked up his bag there
197
and we have two more bags coming we just picked up our bags that was really fast that was like
198
maybe five minutes got our bag there he's got his bags
199
we're gonna go get our grab i don't think we have to hit an x-ray
200
or anything going out we can just leave
201
but we'll see what they show here really quiet
202
and the domestic terminal i know the international terminal in saigon
203
is one of the craziest terminals like that's probably the longest
204
i've waited to go through immigration was at the international terminal at this airport
205
but that is the outdoors so it's as easy as
206
that pick up our bags and we're out of there flying domestic is
207
so much easier that's why they only recommend you come two hours early
208
because it's so much faster than going through international flights Wow so that heat just hit us.
209
It is super hot here.
210
36 degrees.
211
It's about 10 degrees warmer than it was in Hanoi and you can feel it right away.
212
The humidity is insane.
213
I know I'm going to start sweating soon so hopefully we can get to a car quickly.
214
We're going to go to our grab pickup point.
215
Usually there's a dedicated area for grabs so they're not like all over the place and yeah we'll look for the signs.
216
One thing I try to avoid all the time is getting a taxi directly from someone at the airport.
217
Nine times out of ten they're gonna charge you more than any ride hailing app like Grabber, Uber.
218
So just stick to those apps.
219
You can pay with your card.
220
They're so much more convenient than trying to gamble with a taxi.
221
Someone trying to grab you and take you your destination
222
so yeah this is the terminal area that's the airport over there
223
so i think this is the parking garage actually all this up here is spots to park your car
224
but uh voca already booked a grab car we're just going
225
to go to it now there's usually a lot of cars waiting nearby
226
just outside the airport so we could just run there right away i think we're here now actually
227
oh yeah grab over there i see the little booth
228
so we'll go stand and wait there for our car
229
while we wait for the car i'm gonna get something to drink
230
focus said he wanted a coke zero here they are and i'm gonna get a fanta it's my go-to drink
231
The drinks, I'm gonna go pay for them.
232
We're in the car now.
233
How long is the ride?
234
30 minutes to get to our accommodation.
235
And it's already 2 11 so we can check in right away.
236
That's good.
237
Because you don't want to have to carry your bags.
238
Okay so we just made it to our accommodation.
239
It wasn't that far of a drive.
240
Maybe 40 minutes.
241
I guess that is kind of far but I didn't feel it that long.
242
And that's it.
243
That's the end of the video.
244
I will see you guys next time.

この動画がスピーキング練習に最適な理由

旅行の日常をつぶさに描いたこの動画は、自然な英語のリズムと実用的な表現が満載で、初心者から中級者まで楽しく学べる素材です。特に「グラブで空港に行く」「荷物をチェックインする」など、旅行で必ず使うシーンがリアルに再現されているため、英語スピーキング練習に最適です。また、話し手の発音がはっきりしていて速さも適度なので、shadow speech(シャドーイング)の練習にもぴったりです。

自然な表現を分解してみよう

動画の中には、ネイティブが日常的に使う表現がたくさんあります。いくつか取り上げてみましょう。

  • 「Got my suitcase.」:「I have my suitcase.」の省略形で、会話ではよく使われる簡潔な表現です。「Got」を使うことで、より自然でくつろいだ雰囲気になります。
  • 「Traffic was not too bad.」:「渋滞がそれほどひどくなかった」という意味で、否定形を使って柔らかく表現しています。「too bad」はネイティブがよく使うフレーズで、IELTS スピーキング対策でも覚えておくと便利です。
  • 「This thing's gotta be way off.」:「これは大きく外れているはずだ」という意味で、「gotta」(got to)や「way off」などの口語的な表現が使われています。こうした短いフレーズを覚えることで、スピーキングの自然さが向上します。

効果的な練習ルーティン

この動画を使って、英語の発音を良くするためのシンプルな練習方法を紹介します。

  1. 聞いて繰り返す:動画を10秒ほど再生して止め、そのまますぐに同じ内容を繰り返します。これがshadowspeaksの基本で、リズムやイントネーションを覚えるのに効果的です。
  2. 録音して比較する:自分の声を録音して、ネイティブの発音と比較してみましょう。発音の違いやアクセントの位置などに注意し、修正していきます。
  3. 表現を応用する:動画の中で学んだフレーズを自分の旅行体験に合わせて応用してみます。例えば「Got my backpack.」を「Got my camera.」などに変えて使うことで、実践的なスキルが身につきます。

毎日10分ずつ続けるだけで、スピーキングの自信がついてきますよ。ぜひ試してみてください!

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
