You can find them here or in the description.
15
Volca English.
16
Let's get started.
17
So right now we are outside of the second tallest building in the world.
18
Isn't that right Leon?
19
It's crazy how big and tall this building is.
20
When I look up at it I hurt my neck looking at it because it is so tall
21
They don't call it the second tallest building in the world for no reason I guess.
22
It is seriously impressive It is very very tall.
23
It reminds me a lot of the tallest building in the world which I have seen as well, the Burj Khalifa.
24
Honestly, that building felt even taller, but I think it was just a shape, was a cone shape.
25
Yeah.
26
But this building just feels massive.
27
Like, it just feels wide.
28
Very wide.
29
And when did you visit that building, the Burj Khalifa?
30
When did you visit it?
31
2024, around March or April, I saw it.
32
So almost two years ago now.
33
Almost two years.
34
Almost two years ago but now we're outside of the second tallest building
35
and there is a nice grassy area out here
36
and on the other side there is a school
37
and over there you can see
38
that building is being demolished stop studying random words get my 3 000 most common english words pdf
39
and learn the words that help you understand everyday english i'm not sure
40
if you can hear the sounds of that machine working but that building is being demolished.
41
But yeah, let's walk around and see if we can get a different view of this building.
42
This building is very nice.
43
After we have a slow English comprehensible input lesson, we will talk about directions.
44
So make sure you stick around for that.
45
So now Leon and I are walking.
46
We are walking.
47
You notice on this side of the building.
48
On this side of the building, there are some barricades, blocking off entrance to the main building.
49
Yep.
50
So what color are these barricades?
51
They are white and orange.
52
So these barricades are white and orange.
53
And this one is blue.
54
Blue barricade.
55
And it looks like this area is under construction.
56
Yes.
57
From what I remember, last time I was here, this whole area was also still under construction.
58
The area that is part of the building.
59
And you can see through this blue wall.
60
You can see right through it.
61
Yeah, it says, Danger, construction work in progress.
62
So when people are working somewhere, you could say that area is under construction.
63
Under construction.
64
And there are safety signs on the outside of this barrier.
65
Just to tell you, there is a tripping hazard.
66
Watch out for falling objects and other things.
67
So what do you think this is?
68
I think this is the entrance to the tower, but now they're renovating it.
69
Unless it just was never finished.
70
It's kind of hard to tell.
71
Yeah, I'm not too sure.
72
There might be multiple ways to get in.
73
Most likely.
74
Okay, guys, what do you notice right here?
75
What is this part right here?
76
That is the curb.
77
Correct, that is the curb.
78
And what is the part I'm walking on right now?
79
What is this part?
80
That is the sidewalk.
81
Yes, this is the sidewalk.
82
And what is that part right there where the vehicles are driving on?
83
That is the road.
84
The road.
85
It's the road, or you could also call it the street.
86
The road or the street.
87
And what part of the road are the vehicles parked on?
88
That is the shoulder of the road.
89
Correct.
90
They are parked on the shoulder of the road.
91
The shoulder of the road is from the yellow line inwards.
92
As you can see, the vehicles are too big to fit within the shoulder, so they are parked a little bit on the road.
93
But I guess that's legal here.
94
In Canada, I'm pretty sure they would get fined for parking here.
95
What am I doing right now?
96
You're fanning your face.
97
I'm fanning my face.
98
Why am I fanning my face?
99
Because it is hot out here.
100
It is very hot.
101
That is correct.
102
I'm fanning my face because it is very, very hot today.
103
This right here is the entrance to the MRT station.
104
And that over there, you can see another tower.
105
That is the KL Tower.
106
Okay, that was a short comprehensible input lesson.
107
Now let's learn about directions, how to give directions and how to ask for directions.
108
Let's get started.
109
Yo, what are you working on?
110
Yo, I'm working on my channel right now.
111
I just started.
112
I'm going to be posting once a week if you guys want to check it out.
113
So if you guys want to follow Leon on YouTube, he's posting comprehensible input vlogs here, Nomadapedia.
114
It's in the description.
115
Okay guys, we just finished the slow English comprehensible input vlog part.
116
Hopefully you guys enjoyed that.
117
Now let's talk about how to ask for directions and how to give directions.
118
So we'll just be following these three simple steps.
119
Ask, confirm, and follow.
120
Here are some sentences you can use to ask for directions.
121
Excuse me, where is this place?
122
Excuse me, where is the mall?
123
Where is the park?
124
Where is the university?
125
Another way to ask that is, how do I get to blank?
126
How do I get to the mall?
127
And the final way to ask for directions is, is blank near here?
128
Is the university near here?
129
Is the station near here?
130
So after you go up to someone and ask them for directions and they tell you the directions,
131
you want to confirm the directions so you know where you're going.
132
A couple ways to confirm the directions are, so I go, insert directions, so I go left at the traffic light and then straight for 10 minutes.
133
You can also ask, is it far?
134
About how long will it take to walk there?
135
And finally, can I walk there or do I need to drive or take public transit?
136
And the third step is to follow the directions.
137
Go straight, turn right at the corner, go past the entrance, and it'll be on your left.
138
Now how can you give someone directions?
139
So if someone asks you, oh where is the mall?
140
You need to know how to give them directions so that you can help them.
141
Here are some words you can use to give directions.
142
Go, then, after that, finally.
143
So here is an example sentence.
144
Go straight, then turn left.
145
After that, go past the cafe.
146
Finally, it's on your right.
147
Now it's your turn.
148
Practice saying this line here on the bottom.
149
Good job.
150
The line reads, go straight, turn right at the corner.
151
After that, cross the street.
152
Finally, it's on your left.
153
Now we'll have three scenarios to practice your speaking and pronunciation.
154
The first one, my brother will answer, and the second two, you will answer.
155
Excuse me, where is the entrance?
156
Go straight, then turn left at the corner.
157
It's on your right.
158
So I go straight, then I turn left at the corner, right?
159
Yes.
160
Is it far?
161
No, it's about five minutes.
162
Okay, perfect.
163
Thank you very much.
164
Bye.
165
Now let's go on to the second scenario.
166
I want you guys to read the yellow caption on the bottom of the screen.
167
Go.
168
Go straight to the intersection, then turn right, go past the cafe, and it'll be on your left.
169
Exactly.
170
Third scenario.
171
Is the entrance near here?
172
across the parking area between the two buildings.
173
Got it.
174
Thank you.

177
Now let's talk about some common mistakes.
178
Where is it versus where it is.
179
Use where is it when you're asking a question.
180
For example, where is the entrance?
181
That is correct.
182
Where the entrance is, that is wrong.
183
But where the entrance is, is still correct inside a longer sentence.
184
For example, can you tell me where the entrance is?
185
Common mistake number two, on the left side and in the left side.
186
So we use the word on when talking about side.
187
So on the right side or on the left side.
188
We don't use in.
189
In is for inside a space like in the mall, in your car, in your house.
190
Correct.
191
It's on your left.
192
Wrong.
193
It's in your left.
194
The third common mistake is go straight versus go straightly.
195
Straight is already an adverb here.
196
So you don't add L Y.
197
Straightly.
198
You don't say go straightly.
199
You say go straight.
200
And you can also say go straight ahead.
201
But you can never say go straightly ahead.
202
And the final common mistake is turn left versus turn to left.
203
When we're giving directions we don't say turn to left we just say turn left
204
or turn right
205
so the correct way to say it would be turn left
206
at the corner the wrong way would be turn to left
207
at the corner you see how turn to left kind of sounds off it's
208
because we don't say to you just say turn left at the corner Now let's practice the pronunciation of some difficult words.
209
Direction.
210
Direction.
211
Direction.
212
Intersection.
213
Intersection.
214
Intersection.
215
Across.
216
Across.
217
Across.
218
Between.
219
Between.
220
Between.
221
Between.
222
Between.

227
Second tallest building in the world.
228
When did you visit that building?
229
Other side, there is a school.
230
And over there, if we can get a different view of this building.
231
What do you notice on this side of the building?
232
This area is under construction.
233
And now they're renovating it.
234
I'm walking on right now.
235
What is this part?
236
You're fanning your face.
237
Let's learn about directions.
238
I'll be posting my shadowing stories on my second channel, Volca.
239
The link to my channel will be in the description so make sure to subscribe and watch videos there.
なぜこの動画でスピーキングを練習するべきか？
英語のリスニングスキルを向上させることは、スピーキング力を強化するための第一歩です。この動画は、実際の状況に基づいた理解可能な英語の内容を提供しています。リアルな会話を聞くことで、ネイティブスピーカーの発音や語調に親しみ、会話の流れを掴むことができます。繰り返し視聴することで、英語スピーキング練習や、shadowspeak（シャドーイング）を通じて自信を持って英語を話せるようになります。実際の状況を設定した動画は、IELTSスピーキング対策としても非常に効果的です。実際の指示を聞き、体験することで、言葉の使い方を学びましょう。
文法と表現の文脈
動画内で使用される主な構文や表現を以下に分析します。これらは実際の会話でよく使われるフレーズであり、日常会話で役立つでしょう。
- When did you visit that building?（その建物にいつ訪れましたか？）
このような時制の使い方を学ぶことで、過去の出来事について話す際の助けになるでしょう。 - It's crazy how big and tall this building is.（この建物がどれだけ大きくて高いかは信じられない。）
感想を述べる際の表現方法を習得することで、豊かな表現力を身につけましょう。 - Can you see that building being demolished?（あの建物が解体されているのが見えますか？）
現在進行形を用いた会話は、動的な状況の説明に便利です。
一般的な発音の罠
文中には、特に注意が必要な単語や発音のトラップがいくつか存在します。これらに慣れることで、英語の発音を良くするための効果的な練習ができます。
- demolished（解体された）
「デモリッシュ」と言った場合に、正しい発音に近づけるためには、最初の「デ」と「モ」を短く切ることがカギです。 - barricades（バリケード）
この単語は特に多音節で難しく感じるかもしれません。「バリケイド」ではなく「バリケイズ」と発音することで、より自然に聞こえます。
これらの単語を繰り返し発音し、録音して自分の発音をチェックすることは、効果的な学習方法です。shadow speakを試しながら、正確な発音を模索してみてください。
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。
