1
Minus 51 degrees Celsius.
2
There is a city in Russia,
3
more specifically Siberian Russia, which is the most isolated city on the planet.
4
With temperatures going as low as minus 64 degrees Celsius.
5
My hands is really cold, they're tingling a bit.
6
Oh my god, fucking hell.
7
Frostbite forms in minutes, eyelashes freeze in seconds.
8
The most dangerous roads on the planet.
9
The place that 300,000 people call home.
10
This is unbearable.
11
This, ladies and gentlemen, Izzykutsk,
12
the coldest city on the planet.
13
This might be one of the only times where I'm going away and I'm gonna miss the horrible British weather.
14
Now getting to this city is incredibly difficult.
15
First was a six hour flight to Istanbul, Turkey.
16
Run, run, run!
17
Then from Turkey was a five hour flight to Moscow, Russia.
18
Oh my god, even here it's freezing!
19
That next morning we drove to a different airport.
20
Thank you very much.
21
Why is there no one here?
22
This was where I was boarding the final eight hour flight to Yakutsk.
23
For thousands of miles there was nothing but ice and eight hours later after crossing the siberian desert i saw light
24
this is inside it's the weirdest airport exit it's a bit
25
of a ghost town I was now about to head outside for the first time in Yakutsk.
26
My name's Joe, good to meet you.
27
This was Siam by the way, he was our translator.
28
Oh my f**king.
29
Where is he?
30
Oh my god, it's hard to breathe.
31
Where are you?
32
Where are my hoods?
33
Minus 39 degrees Celsius.
34
Quickly after walking outside we had to head to the car.
35
You see, all I was wearing was a singular coat,
36
and staying outside for any longer than just that was very dangerous.
37
Oh!
38
Are you okay?
39
Give me a hand.
40
Give me a hand, I'll help you up.
41
Is this the car?
42
Can't complain at this, can we?
43
Just look at that.
44
I'm gonna get some sleep and then check out Ukutsk.
45
Let me show you what you've got to wear to survive in this temperature.
46
What do you think of the fit?
47
I am boiling right now.
48
13 additional layers on top of your normal clothes.
49
The cold air just attacks your face any exposed skin it just starts stinging a bit.
50
Minus 41 degrees Celsius today.
51
Would you say minus 41 for your kutsk?
52
Is that cold?
53
That's usual.
54
The cars literally just disappear into the abyss and after walking around for only about 20 minutes.
55
Just look at the state of my hat,
56
my eyelashes, my gloves have completely frozen over.
57
It is very, very cold.
58
Can we go inside?
59
My hands, it's really cold.
60
Can we go inside for a second?
61
Fucking hell, like they're tingling a bit.
62
Fucking hell.
63
In the space of a few seconds,
64
my hands had gone from incredibly cold to just completely numb.
65
I couldn't feel them at all.
66
Your fingertips are very, very pink and cold.
67
Frostbite here is incredibly common.
68
Is that okay?
69
Yeah.
70
Luckily, I just got first degree frostbite, which is recoverable.
71
Look at the difference in colour.
72
This is the hand that felt cold and tingly.
73
This is the other hand.
74
I had to sit in that coffee shop for a good 30 minutes to let my body heat up.
75
Once I've had a friend who was missing five of his toes on his left leg,
76
he was running barefoot for like two minutes.
77
Yeah, and he lost all his toes on his left foot.
78
Yeah.
79
There are so many extra challenges which need to be faced living in this city.
80
But what do the locals have to say about living here?
81
How is life living in the coldest city on the planet?
82
The cold is our joy, our happiness.
83
They treat us.
84
So you like the cold?
85
Yes, very much.
86
It's a pain.
87
I can't breathe anymore.
88
When I'm on a cruise,
89
I can't live there for a long time,
90
because I'm a lot of pain.
91
Really?
92
Oh wow.
93
The verdict I got was that no one here was fazed by the cold.
94
Do you find living here tough?
95
Yeah, it's different.
96
For us, such code is just way of life.
97
That's normal for us.
98
And we get used to it.
99
I mean, me personally, I don't understand how you could get used to this.
100
But then I met this guy.
101
What made you move to Yukutsk in the first place?
102
They wanted to send me to Chelyabinsk.
103
Well, he ran away, so I can say.
104
My brother took me here.
105
I came here and sent me here.
106
I've been here for 20 years.
107
I've been here and I've been here and I live here.
108
So what was the crime that he committed, Sayan?
109
He killed two people.
110
He killed two people?
111
Yes.
112
Fuck you.
113
As much as obviously that's awful,
114
in context to this video,
115
he committed a crime, tried to run away to the most isolated city on Earth,
116
aka Yakutsk, in hopes he wouldn't get caught,
117
eventually got caught here, served 20 years,
118
and when he got out,
119
he was so used to the cold that he decided to stay.
120
Do you enjoy living in Yakutsk?
121
No. Yeah?
122
Our life is not that different from yours,
123
just a little bit colder.
124
A city frozen in ice,
125
but behind it all, just a normal city.
126
Delicious.
127
It is currently minus 41 degrees Celsius here in Yakutsk.
128
Let me show you some cool things you can do here.
129
First is the hot water experiment.
130
Boiling hot water.
131
A normal banana.
132
Obviously I took a bite out of it just before.
133
And then I left it on an open window for 15 minutes.
134
Okay.
135
Completely frozen solid.
136
Next, hot noodles.
137
You leave it like this for a few minutes.
138
Oh, get the hat.
139
Completely frozen solid.
140
One of my favourite Young LA t-shirts here.
141
And after leaving it to dry for literally only a minute.
142
That is mad.
143
And as the sun set in Yakutsk,
144
we went to some fresh cloves,
145
laid up over that, went on a night out.
146
Is this warm for us?
147
This is warm?
148
Yeah.
149
Is this warm?
150
Yeah, we can eat ice cream.
151
I am literally freezing my tits off right now.
152
We're currently heading back from the night out This has got
153
to be like the weirdest walk back for a night out ever Yeah if we pass out right now we're f***ed
154
That next day my translator Sian said he had a surprise for me Thank you No way!
155
No way!
156
They've got a proper gym and everything Inside this sports hall are some of the finest athletes in Yakutsk,
157
training for Yakutsk's national sport.
158
Mass wrestling.
159
Here's how it works.
160
Two athletes sit facing each other with their feet braced against a board.
161
They both grip a short wooden stick.
162
The goal is to pull the stick away from your opponent or pull them across the board.
163
Is it me against him?
164
I had been challenged Nice to meet you
165
Somehow I actually won Well played,
166
well played I don't want to try it Can you play with me?
167
The world champion wants to play me I'd been told this guy here was the world champion of mass wrestling.
168
That guy there, he's the world champion.
169
Your champion.
170
World champion.
171
World champion.
172
Wow.
173
Now he wanted to play me.
174
Good luck.
175
This was a best of three game.
176
And...
177
Jump!
178
1-0 to the champ, he just destroyed me.
179
I don't know how I won that,
180
but now it was 1-1.
181
It was now the deciding round.
182
The world champion won it.
183
Well played my man.
184
But that ladies and gentlemen is Yakutsk's national sport.
185
The city is clearly doing fine.
186
But what about the little villages?
187
Died around Siberia, isolated on their own,
188
truly in the middle of nowhere.
189
Alright, it's pretty early right now.
190
We're currently about to embark on a six hour road trip deep into Siberia to a small remote village.
191
How cold is the village?
192
Minus 50.
193
Minus 50?
194
Maybe minus 61.
195
It feels like minus 61.
196
It feels like minus 61?
197
Yes.
198
I'm pretty nervous about this one, I'll be honest.
199
How safe are the roads here in Siberia?
200
So the further out we go,
201
the more dangerous the roads get.
202
Brilliant.
203
Due to the extreme cold,
204
the steam coming from other cars really affected the visibility.
205
I joined these guys in the back of the car for this part of the crib because it is sketch.
206
This wasn't even a road anymore,
207
the ground was literally ice and snow.
208
A remote road in the depths of Siberia.
209
What was I expecting to be honest?
210
But by some miracle after several hours we had arrived.
211
Sasha is a local of this village.
212
Minus 50 degrees Celsius, feels like minus 61.
213
Is this cold for you?
214
Well, today, yes.
215
Okay, let's go.
216
Just look at this place.
217
You can't see anything ahead of you.
218
That jump from minus 40 yesterday to minus 50 today is very noticeable.
219
The village is so much colder.
220
But with it being completely isolated hundreds of miles away from the city,
221
how different is life here?
222
Sasha had kindly invited me into her home where lunch was already prepared.
223
Now unlike in the city,
224
the diet of the villagers is all just food that they've sourced themselves.
225
Fish shavings are one of the most popular meals that people eat,
226
and you just eat it frozen.
227
Mmm.
228
Mmm, sounds crunchy.
229
Just tastes like an ice cube dipped in salt.
230
Okay, I wasn't the biggest fan of the fish shavings,
231
but a lot of this food was delicious.
232
I'll show you.
233
Now for the water that I'm drinking,
234
I'm standing on a lake right now,
235
obviously completely frozen, and this is where they get their drinking water from.
236
The frozen lake is cut up into ice blocks.
237
You cannot get much purer than that.
238
Every family has a weekly stash of ice,
239
which if they want to start drinking,
240
they bring it inside and let it melt.
241
This is the only option because piping systems would just freeze up.
242
And due to the limited water,
243
showers are not a thing here.
244
Special types of saunas are used,
245
where the intense heat is meant to cleanse open pores detoxify the body using a fraction of the water
246
that a shower would.
247
If you're rich in the village you'll have a private sauna like this one
248
but most go to the public sauna and if you need the toilet at any point.
249
That was a unique experience.
250
Sewage systems also don't exist here because it's physically too cold
251
so you go into one of these shacks outside do your business into a hole in the ground
252
and that business freezes instantly so there's no smell i have a present for you
253
you have a present yeah oh okay it's a bear meat bear meat no way
254
brown bears poses a big threat in this village don't give this meat to the Oh,
255
so only men can eat the bear meat.
256
Thank you very much.
257
Thank you.
258
I don't taste anything.
259
No flavour.
260
I mean, there's not really much to say about it.
261
You could say the food is bear.
262
I can hear like a,
263
apart from that dog, you can hear a pin drop.
264
I was literally walking in one of the most isolated places on the planet.
265
How do you get electricity to this remote place?
266
The electricity lights go on for hundreds of miles back to Yakutsk.
267
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here,
268
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here,
269
I'm here, I'm here, I'm here, I'm here.
270
You've got everything you need here?
271
Yes, I'm here.
272
How do you like living here in this small village in the middle of nowhere?
273
Since we were born, we've already used to it.
274
We don't know another life.
275
There's definitely a lot of challenges which this village faces due to the extreme cold and extreme isolation.
276
The people I met all just seemed so happy.
277
We are living, not surviving.
278
This world, we are protecting our whole world.

この動画で話す練習をする理由
「私は地球上で最も寒い都市（ヤクーツク）に旅行しました」という動画は、極寒の地域での体験を通じて、リアルな会話の状況を提供します。このような実際の体験を元にしたコンテンツは、shadowspeaksやshadow speechの練習にぴったりです。リスナーは、感情や反応が込められたストーリーを通じて、語彙やフレーズを学ぶことができます。また、極端な寒さや大変な状況に置かれた話者の反応を模倣することで、生きた英語を使用する力を伸ばせます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
- 「-51度セルシウス」 - 冷温を即座に伝えるこの表現は、状況の緊急性を格段に高めます。「-64度セルシウス」のような使用例も重要です。
- 「私の手が本当に冷たい」 - 状態を表す動き（「が」）を使った文は、感情を表現する上で基本的です。特に、IELTS スピーキング対策では、自分の感じていることを説明する能力が求められます。
- 「この、皆さん、ヤクーツクです」 - 新しい場所を紹介する時に使うフレーズは、プレゼンテーションや会話の際に役立ちます。自分の意見や体験を情熱的に共有するために良いモデルです。
一般的な発音のトラップ
動画内で使われた一部の言葉は、発音が難しいものです。「ヤクーツク」や「フロストバイト」のような言葉は特に注意が必要です。また、「どうなっているの？」というフレーズのイントネーションにも気をつけることで、英語のシャドーイング（英語シャドーイング）の効果を最大限に引き出せます。この発音の練習を通じて、より自然な滑らかさを持った会話を実現できるでしょう。
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。
