Hello everyone, welcome to the channel English for Tourism
2
and today I'm taking you to one of the most iconic and charming buildings in Ho Chi Minh City,
3
the Central Post Office.
4
And if you're into history,
5
architecture or just simply love discovering Vietnam and want to improve your English for working in tourism,
6
then this video is for you.
7
Okay, let's go.
8
This post office was built between 1896 and 1891 during the time Vietnam was part of French Indochina.
9
And when you look at the building with all the iron frames and classic design,
10
it somehow feels like a little piece of Paris in the middle of Saigon.
11
The building was designed in the neo-classical style with yellow walls,
12
arch windows and green wooden shutters.
13
Right in the center above the main entrance,
14
you will see a big clock,
15
and yes, it still works today,
16
after more than 130 years.
17
And look a bit closer,
18
you will notice some beautiful carvings of Greek gods and goddesses around the top.
19
They represent communication, knowledge, and connection,
20
which makes perfect sense for a post office built in the age of letters and telegraphs.
21
As you walk inside, the space suddenly opens up.
22
Long, bright and a big grand,
23
like an old railway hall.
24
This design wasn't random.
25
Because back in the late 1800s,
26
the postal system was closely cleaned to the railway.
27
Letters didn't travel by area like they do now.
28
They moved by train, slowly but surely, across the country.
29
That's why the building feels more like a train station than a modern post office.
30
The iron beams above were brought here all the way from France.
31
Back then, it was a popular construction style in Europe,
32
using steel frames, partner tile floors and white windows to let in as much natural light as possible.
33
That's why the building still feels open and bright,
34
even after more than a hundred years.
35
If you look on the walls near the entrance,
36
you will see two beautiful old maps painted in 1892.
37
One of them shows the telegram lines connecting Saigon to Ndomen,
38
a reminder of how connected this region already was back there.
39
And the other shows the postal routes across Cochinchina,
40
which was the name for Sauton Vietnam during the French colonial period.
41
can see it's amazing how much street you can reach from just a wall
42
and what makes this place even more special is the fact
43
that it's still operating today just like it always has you can walk in by a stamp send a postcard
44
and even mail a small package,
45
just like people did in the past.
46
And there's something really charming about using an old building for something so simple and familiar.
47
And there used to be a man here known as the last public letter writer.
48
He helped people write love letters,
49
family updates and official documents by hand.
50
His table is no longer here,
51
but his story is part of the memory of this place.
52
At the far end of the hall,
53
there is a portrait of Uncle Ho,
54
hanging quietly above the ground.
55
It's a simple image, but it carries a deep message.
56
Even though this building was built during the French colonial period,
57
it now stands as part of Vietnamese identity.
58
People come here for all sorts of reasons,
59
some to send emails, some to admire the architecture,
60
and others just to take a break from the busy city.
61
And you know, many international visitors love sending postcards from here.
62
It's not just about the message, it's about the stamp.
63
A letter with a real Vietnamese stamp sent from this historic post office feels personal and meaningful.
64
For the person receiving it,
65
it's not just a piece of paper,
66
it's a little piece of Vietnam that can hold in their hands and keep as the memory.
67
And before you leave, don't forget to take a look at the little souvenir shops inside.
68
You will find postcards, stamps, notebooks, and handmade gifts.
69
Many of them show Saigon's landmarks in a really charming way.
70
They are small, simple things,
71
but they carry the spirit of the city.
72
When you step outside, Saigon feels loud and fuss again.
73
But something about this place stays with you.
74
It gives you a moment of calm in a city that never stands still.
75
And over there, right across the street, is Notre Dame Cathedral.
76
You know the bricks used to build it were actually shipped all the way from France back in the late 1800s.
77
Between the post office and the church is Paris Commune Square,
78
a name that still carries a soft European feeling, even today.
79
And you know in the late afternoon,
80
you will see local people sitting around as well,
81
sipping nice coffee and enjoying the breeze under the trees.
82
Tourists often come here just to take pictures,
83
but many of them end up staying longer,
84
simply because the place feels so calm and welcoming.
85
Alright everyone, thanks for working through the Central Post Office with me today.

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。
