レッスンを作成中...
1
Good morning, sleepyheads.
2
It is the final day of testing the top 10 tourist attractions in America.
3
Yesterday we traveled all the way to the Grand Canyon, where we hiked and marveled at the best views we have seen in our entire lives.
4
And today we travel to Colorado to watch a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheater.
5
It is considered by many people to be the best concert venue in America.
6
It is once again a 4 a.m wake up to catch our flights.
7
I am very excited to travel to Denver, Colorado with Haley.
8
Fine, let's go to the airport.
9
After 10 days straight of flying, I cannot believe we haven't been delayed even once.
10
And just when I'm gonna thank Shopify for sponsoring this series, our flight gets delayed severely.
11
This is not good, y'all.
12
This is bad.
13
This means we are at risk of missing our concert.
14
Our interfaith is not working.
15
I'm not able to communicate with the flight attendant.
16
You're not able to communicate with me.
17
We need to have that fixed.
18
I appreciate your patience.
19
I'll give you updates as I know.
20
Thank you.
21
Our flight has now been delayed nearly two hours, but this guy must be the real deal, because he walked on the plane, and within minutes we were boarding and in the air on our way to Phoenix for a connection.
22
Our first flight is in the wrong direction, but luckily I'm really fast, and we were able to get on our flight to Colorado for the final tourist attraction!
23
Yes!
24
We got a rental car to drive places.
25
Alpha, move.
26
The final bucket list day.
27
Let's go to Denver.
28
Let's gooooo!
29
Despite our delayed flights, we made it to Colorado with time to actually explore before the concert.
30
You already know what that means.
31
We're going to find a cool structure downtown.
32
That is the state capital of Colorado.
33
We went inside, I bought stickers and a postcard.
34
Also, a guy offered to take a picture of Haley and I when we were in the middle, and...
35
Let's just say he went off.
36
He kept offering to take more and more photos with different angles.
37
Honestly, they're all really impressive, so thank you.
38
Today's episode is kind of like the road trip Golden Gate Bridge episode where it's a mixture of things.
39
Number one, Denver, Colorado.
40
It's the Mile High City.
41
There's Rocky Mountains.
42
It's beautiful.
43
Number two, Red Rocks Amphitheater.
44
This is a venue that people visit even if there's not a concert going on, because that's how beautiful it is.
45
And number three, Louis Capaldi.
46
I can't believe we get to see him live.
47
He has so many bangers, like exclusively hits.
48
Our flight was late getting here, so we don't have that much time, unfortunately, to explore Denver.
49
However, first we need to go back there and take a picture next to the one-mile-high marker.
50
One mile!
51
We drove over to a cool shopping area in downtown Denver called 16th Street.
52
It's a cool shopping area.
53
They have a hat store, so naturally we entered with intentions to purchase a hat.
54
This one is a Red Rocks hat.
55
We're going to Red Rocks later for a concert.
56
Nice.
57
Yeah.
58
Haley and I made it to the shopping area.
59
We just purchased head accessories.
60
Not a ton going on right now because it just rained.
61
It's kind of raining a little bit still.
62
Haley, this is a surprise, but I got us a dinner reservation at a really cool restaurant, but it's at 4 p.m because we have to go to the concert kind of early, so.
63
I'm never mad about an early dinner.
64
Amen.
65
We need some snacks to hold us over.
66
We're going to Target.
67
Let's go.
68
Haley and I just got our snacks.
69
Here's what we picked up.
70
I got a coconut water as a beverage.
71
We both got portable protein packs.
72
I got a peanut butter perfect bar.
73
And of course, it is not a Target snack run without Joyride.
74
I found fruity zips and fruit chews here.
75
I have not been able to find these this entire trip.
76
As you know by now, Joyride Day is right around the corner.
77
It's June 13th.
78
Hopefully by now your calendars are marked, you've RSVP'd, and you're ready to go to the store to set a new world record.
79
I'm going to be doing a 24-hour livestream on Joyride Day on my channel as we try to break this world record.
80
So be there.
81
It's going to be so fun.
82
It's me, Ryan, from the future.
83
We're working on the 24-hour live stream set right now it's gonna be way cooler
84
and more built out on joyride day almost 40 000 of
85
you have already rsvp'd for joyride day i'll see y'all this saturday for the coolest 24-hour live stream ever and
86
if you go to target look for this in cap display
87
it has rare joyride flavors it's the perfect photo op shout out to all the joyride runners all around the country.
88
Ohio, Texas, New Jersey, New York, Tennessee, Florida.
89
The list goes on.
90
Thank you so much.
91
We're going to go back to the car because we have to drive to this dinner restaurant.
92
Should we get jeans?
93
Oh yes.
94
The lady at the hat store did say it was going to be really cold at Red Rocks
95
because it's higher elevation and it's kind of a chilly day.
96
The way she looked at me when she saw my shorts, I think it's highly recommended I get some jeans.
97
Let's go shopping and then we're going to dinner.
98
Hailey is very scared that it will be cold and rainy at the concert tonight, so she picked out some jeans.
99
Okay, the sun has decided to come out here in Denver.
100
We'll see if that lasts, but we're going to drive to the dinner restaurant.
101
Haley has pants now.
102
Let's actually go.
103
Let's actually go.
104
We are listening to Lewis Capaldi songs and eating snacks on our way to the restaurant.
105
I know it's probably unwise to eat snacks while actively embarking to dinner, but we have had a very weird diet on this entire trip, so please don't judge us.
106
We made it.
107
It's that pink building.
108
Haley and I have arrived to our dinner reservation And it is at Casa Bonita
109
It's right next to a Dollar Tree
110
And Adventure Dental I don't think I want my dental vision and orthodontics To be that adventurous Your dental and vision?
111
Yes, they do all three there Oh, that's nice, I do want that
112
Luckily we have a reservation I'm not going to tell you too much about this restaurant Okay, fair enough I mean, just looking at the outside I don't know what to expect The sun came out Maybe it's
113
because we were listening to Lewis Capaldi.
114
His music's actually really sad, but he does drop bangers.
115
He only has bangers.
116
True.
117
We walked into Casa Bonita with an open mind.
118
I heard this restaurant is full of surprises though, so I'm kind of nervous, but that went away when I saw how awesome it is in here.
119
Hayley and I were seated in a booth near the back of the restaurant and quickly served chips and salsa.
120
Casa Bonita is more like a theme park than it is a restaurant.
121
Every 15 to 20 minutes they have a new type of fun going on.
122
For example, arcade and gaming, merchandise, and the dude from South Park.
123
Here's some context.
124
First of all, this is a 52,000 square foot legendary Mexican restaurant.
125
In 2003, South Park put it in one of its episodes.
126
17 years later, the owners filed for bankruptcy, but the creators of South Park bought it and restored it for $40 million.
127
So yeah, there's also great live music and people diving into pools of water, every 15 minutes.
128
I have a question for you, Ryan.
129
Okay.
130
Do you know what bunny that means?
131
Yeah, it means Haley.
132
Beautiful.
133
More like Casa Haley.
134
More like Casa Haley because that's synonymous.
135
They mean the same thing.
136
Things started getting a little awkward and boring between Haley and I, so I decided to spice things up by doing a little magic trick.
137
Whoa.
138
You thought I disappeared.
139
Yeah.
140
Really?
141
Yeah.
142
You thought I disappeared.
143
No, it looks really realistic.
144
Oh my gosh!
145
Haley's on my side now.
146
Yes, I am, and I'm staring at these glistening sopapillas.
147
These are the dessert that comes with your meal.
148
They look delicious.
149
Let's try.
150
It's a fried dough with honey and cinnamon sugar.
151
And it's delicious.
152
Before we go to this concert, I think it's a perfect time to do superlatives.
153
Mmm, I love superlatives.
154
Yes.
155
We did this before we got to Hawaii on the 50 States series.
156
It's so fun to reflect on the adventure that we just had.
157
So number one, Hailey, what is the best meal that we ate on the entire bucket list series?
158
First, we ate barbecue at Disney.
159
That was delicious.
160
And then we got Ben's Chili Bowl in DC.
161
That was unreal.
162
Gordon Ramsay's Fish and Chips also stands out.
163
Oh, stationary in Carmel by the sea.
164
And the Dodger dog definitely lived up to the hype.
165
But the New York City dog lived up to the hype even more.
166
I think we can both agree Ben's Chili Bowl was the best meal.
167
Absolutely as you speak with honey on your face.
168
Best stranger we met.
169
Ooh.
170
I gotta go with Jeff from Washington, DC, our bike tour guide.
171
He was so cool.
172
But also Ben's mom at Ben's Chili Bowl.
173
She is 92 years old and she was cleaning up our table for us.
174
Yes, they're neck and neck.
175
Honestly, it's a tie.
176
Best souvenir that we bought, our favorite collectible.
177
I really did like my Mickey ears.
178
I gotta go with my I Survived New York City shirt.
179
Yeah, that one's really good.
180
Favorite photo from the entire trip.
181
Ooh, honestly, I really like the photo of us under the arch at Yellowstone.
182
Best view in America.
183
Grand Canyon.
184
Yeah.
185
Just as unbelievable as everyone makes it out to be.
186
Most unexpected moment.
187
Honestly, how I felt watching Hamilton.
188
When I was just sitting there crying, I was like, wait a second, what's going on?
189
Yeah.
190
For me, I think it was the bison crossing the road at Yellowstone.
191
Oh, that's a good moment too.
192
I knew you were going to like that one.
193
We could sit here and reflect all day, but you made scrapbook pages for each of these days, so we can just do that for the rest of our lives.
194
Yeah, and pass it down.
195
This has been so much fun.
196
I just want to say again, thank you guys so much for watching this series and hanging out with us this summer.
197
It's going to end this concert, and then we'll have our rankings of the top 10 tourist attractions in America.
198
Just like that.
199
It's time for us to drive to Red Rocks Amphitheater.
200
This was delicious, really fun dinner.
201
Let's go to a concert.
202
In just 17 minutes, Hayley and I will be arriving to our final tourist attraction.
203
To say we're nervous is an understatement.
204
The stakes are high because today, Hayley and I will crown a winner of the number one tourist attraction in America.
205
We are now seeing Red Rocks in the distance, which can only mean one thing.
206
We've arrived.
207
Y'all, we made it to Red Rocks Amphitheater!
208
This right here, for example, is a Red Rock.
209
I don't know if that's the one.
210
I don't think it is.
211
The amphitheater is just up ahead.
212
We're already hearing noises that are musical, which is very exciting.
213
Also, yes, I just bought merch.
214
There was a trading post.
215
They had all kinds of cool stuff.
216
I also got magnets, pins, and this has to be the coolest postcard yet, right?
217
That is so fun.
218
I think it's made of wood.
219
Oh, it is.
220
Yeah, super thin.
221
Out of every single tourist attraction, this one has the highest percentage of five-star reviews.
222
Wow.
223
So what is all the hype about?
224
Jenny left a five-star review and said, Amazing.
225
Amazed and in awe entire time.
226
Everything was perfect, even the moon.
227
Five stars.
228
Well, don't get my hopes up.
229
Well, mmm, don't get my- Kristen's review is a little more simple.
230
This place rocks.
231
LOL laughing emoji.
232
Five stars.
233
Someone had to do it.
234
Somebody had to say it.
235
It's sitting right there, the opportunity to leave that pun as a review.
236
And Kristen took it.
237
Kristen got there first.
238
Red Ribbit said, Ribbit.
239
Best music venue in the country.
240
Did I mention it's the best?
241
It's number one.
242
Second to none.
243
Five stars.
244
This is crazy, but I think I just understood what second to none meant for the first of my life.
245
That is pretty crazy.
246
Top two
247
and it's not two is a similar way to kind of establish the same premise with a different sort of approach.
248
That one clicks for me instantly.
249
I like that one.
250
Top two and I'm not two.
251
I think the venue is opening very soon.
252
People are in line.
253
We should probably get in line as well.
254
Let's do this.
255
It's a beautiful evening for the final day.
256
Even the walk up to the entrance of this venue is a beautiful experience.
257
We caught up to the crowds and scanned our tickets for the concert.
258
Look at this place y'all.
259
There's already so many people here.
260
Being here in person is truly remarkable.
261
We got a photo for our scrapbook before the legend himself takes the stage.
262
We have arrived to our final tourist attraction of this series and look at this.
263
Oh my gosh.
264
That's downtown Denver in the distance.
265
We were just there earlier.
266
This series would not have been possible without Shopify and I've had
267
so much fun fun building my bucket list boxes with souvenirs and collectibles.
268
And the final step of building our store is to make it easy for our customers to find it.
269
That's why I'm asking Sidekick for a domain name that's available, affordable, and makes sense for our store.
270
Based on the options, I think we should go with bucketlistboxes.com.
271
I like that.
272
Luckily, Shopify makes it really easy to purchase a new domain.
273
And now our bucket list box store is live.
274
There are only 10 boxes.
275
That's it.
276
As you saw in the last 10 episodes, it is so easy and fun to build a store with Shopify, and you can start your trial today at shopify.com slash Ryan.
277
Thank you so much, Shopify.
278
It's time for the concert.
279
Gentlemen, I just went to the concession stand and got Haley and I hot dogs.
280
It's going to put a smile on her face.
281
It's the simple things, gentlemen.
282
Come on, gentlemen, watch this.
283
Hot dogs.
284
Alpha move.
285
Hot dogs in Red Rocks.
286
I love you, baby.
287
Gosh.
288
We have eaten more hot dogs in the past 10 days than most people eat in a year.
289
I got this really cool time lapse as we waited for a couple hours for Lewis Capaldi, and as the rain came down, Hayley felt validated.
290
Good thing I'm not in shorts.
291
Yeah, thank goodness Hayley got jeans.
292
And suddenly, through the fog, Lewis Capaldi is ready to take the stage.
293
Something has happened.
294
Usually I'd be singing by now.
295
Something technological has gone wrong.
296
He said he's gonna do the cool dramatic intro again and that we're gonna act like the technical error never happened.
297
That's what's gonna happen.
298
You never, I was never here.
299
I love him.
300
Yeah, he's so funny.
301
And now, under the moonlight, it's Lewis Capaldi time.
302
This is embarrassing.
303
Lewis told us he's gonna perform acoustically, which is fine by me.
304
He has an amazing voice.
305
Here we go!
306
Oh I've been told, I've been told to get you off my mind, but I hope I never lose the bruises that you left me out.
307
Oh my lord, oh my lord, I need you by my side.
308
Wow guys, here we are.
309
The cinematic outro of the 2026 Summer Series.
310
The past two summers have been absolutely unforgettable.
311
Thanks to you, and thanks to my best friend.
312
Talking about Hayley.
313
We have pretty much explored America to completion.
314
I am so grateful to be able to go on adventures like these, and make memories that we can share with our friends and family for decades.
315
But the real privilege is being able to share them with you.
316
And I mean that.
317
I remember when I started posting on this channel almost 10 years ago.
318
I dreamed of moments like this one, where I get to turn ideas into videos into memories.
319
We ranked Red Rocks at number 7, and we completed our final stamp.
320
I'm going to miss doing this.
321
And that means our number one tourist attraction in America is the Grand Canyon.
322
Take care guys, see you soon.
この動画でのスピーキング練習が重要な理由
この動画は、アメリカの観光名所を巡る旅の最終日を描いています。観光地の美しさや、コンサートでの興奮を体験することで、英語のスピーキングスキルを向上させるための素晴らしいコンテキストを提供しています。英語を話すことに自信を持つためには、実際の会話やシチュエーションに基づいた練習が非常に重要です。このような旅のエピソードを通じて、リスニングや発音を改善することができ、英語の発音を良くするための最高の機会となるでしょう。また、YouTubeで英語学習をする際に、同じような動画を使って「shadowspeak」や「shadow speech」を実践することで、スピーキングスキルをさらに高めることができます。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
この動画では、いくつかの重要な文法構造や表現が使われています。
- 疑問文: "Are we at risk of missing our concert?" - 質問を通じて不安を表現する方法。
- 現在進行形: "We are at risk of missing..." - 現在の状況を強調する手法。
- 過去形: "We traveled all the way to the Grand Canyon" - 過去の行動を述べる際の表現。
- 助動詞: "We need to have that fixed" - 必要性を示す表現。
これらの文法構造を理解し、練習することで、より流暢な英語を話せるようになります。
一般的な発音の落とし穴
この動画では、特に発音が難しい単語やアクセントについても注意が必要です。例えば、「Amphitheater」と「Colorado」は、ネイティブスピーカーの発音が難しいです。これらの単語の正確な発音を練習することで、リスニング能力も向上します。また、「Mile High City」や「Grand Canyon」といった地名も、特定のアクセントで発音されるため、shadowing siteで正確にマネすることが効果的です。このように発音に特化した練習をすることで、実際の会話でも自信を持って話せるようになるでしょう。
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。
