1
After living in Vietnam for more than six years, coming back to the US feels kinda weird.
2
Some things are amazing, but some things are not so great.
3
So today we'll talk about the pros and cons of Vietnam versus America after living in both places.
4
We'll talk about the big things like healthcare and cost of living, but also cultural things that you've probably never even considered.
5
So the first pro for America, Something that I really enjoy when I come back here is all the green space and parks.
6
So right now we're in the suburbs outside of Chicago and look at this field of grass right across the street.
7
So much room for activities.
8
Sometimes you just want bare feet on the grass.
9
It may seem like a little thing, but it's something that we do pretty well in America that just doesn't exist in Vietnam.
10
All over Vietnam you will find AstroTurf football pitches, lots of badminton courts, little play areas for kids,
11
but nothing like we have here in America.
12
Dude, they got a straight up water park back here.
13
Basketball courts, baseball fields, it's all free and open to the public.
14
Hey.
15
What's up?
16
I'm making a video.
17
Oh, look who's here.
18
Who's that? Did you finish camp?
19
Yes.
20
Oh, did you say hi?
21
Did you wave to the camera?
22
Okay.
23
So the next thing is kind of a pro and a con.
24
So you gotta listen.
25
You hear that?
26
It's silent.
27
Out here in the suburbs, there's hardly any traffic.
28
There's barely any people around.
29
So it's really quiet and peaceful.
30
But at the same time, I kind of miss the chaos and action of Vietnam.
31
Over there, everybody's out and about all day.
32
The community feels alive.
33
But here, everybody's sat in the house with the AC on or they're at work.
34
I feel like I've hardly interacted with any human that's not a family member since I've been in America.
35
Now to be clear, The suburbs compared to downtown Chicago are two completely different stories.
36
In the city, you'll find more people walking around.
37
There's plenty of coffee shops and food and things to do.
38
Public transportation is really good, but still most people are probably taking expensive Ubers to get around, and it can take you 30 minutes to get somewhere that's not too far away.
39
So when it comes to transportation, I prefer Vietnam.
40
I like just jumping on my motorbike and cruising wherever I need to go.
41
The gym, the beach, coffee and food, everything's a couple minute drive away, and plenty of things are within walking distance.
42
Here in America, you've got to get in a car and drive anywhere you need to go.
43
You can make an argument for or against both places.
44
As I said, public transportation is definitely better in America, and there's tons of chaotic traffic in Vietnam,
45
but there's plenty of traffic and never-ending construction in America.
46
You can be stuck on the highway not moving for an hour.
47
In Vietnam, you're never stuck in traffic.
48
You could always just drive up on the sidewalk if you had to.
49
This is actually funny.
50
I just realized another pro for America.
51
Sidewalks.
52
I was making a joke earlier, but sidewalks don't exist in Vietnam.
53
The area on the side of the road is for parking
54
or driving your motorbike or maybe for eating lunch on some plastic stools.
55
But it seems like these sidewalks aren't getting much use because three out of four Americans are obese or overweight.
56
Why do you think that is?
57
Take a guess which country has the lowest obesity in the whole world.
58
That's right, Vietnam.
59
The food in each of these countries couldn't be further apart.
60
Crappy food in America is making this the most unhealthy country in the world.
61
So you would hope there'd be pretty good healthcare, right?
62
This might be the area where America fails the worst.
63
Healthcare sucks in America.
64
Sure, the quality is decent, but the price you pay
65
and the loops you have to jump through with insurance is pretty embarrassing for the richest country in the world.
66
I'll give you an example.
67
My dad's been dealing with an ankle injury for weeks now since I've been back in the US.
68
He had to wait to get approval from the insurance to get a CT scan done.
69
Once that finally happened, Now he has to schedule an appointment for two weeks later to actually get the scan done.
70
After that, he'll schedule another appointment with a specialist who's probably gonna give him a bottle of painkillers
71
and send him out his way.
72
In Vietnam, he could have showed up to the hospital without an appointment, paid out of pocket for the scan which would have been maybe 50 bucks.
73
Then he could see a specialist in the same day and actually have a plan to get better.
74
Healthcare in Vietnam is cheap,
75
convenient, high quality, and I would choose Vietnam over America for everything except the most extreme life or death situation.
76
So let's talk about food for a minute.
77
Say I'm hungry and I want to get something to eat.
78
You've got to get in the car and drive outside of the residential area to get whatever you need.
79
There are plenty of grocery stores around, but fresh, healthy food is gonna be pricey.
80
The other option is an unlimited selection of fast food, which tastes great, but it's also garbage.
81
In Vietnam, there's almost always gonna be a local market within walking distance where you can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and meat.
82
I can buy meat from a pig that was butchered that morning, eggs from a chicken roaming the countryside, and vegetables that were picked yesterday.
83
America, on the other hand, relies heavily on imports of fruits and vegetables.
84
It can take up the two weeks for a vegetable grown in Mexico to arrive to the grocery store in Chicago.
85
That means more chemicals to keep it from rotting along the way.
86
But that's not even the biggest problem.
87
In America, you got to go out of your way to find healthy food and it's going to be really expensive.
88
But trash fast food is cheap and available on every corner.
89
In Vietnam, it's completely the opposite.
90
You got to drive for a while to find a McDonald's, but there's going to be 10 aunties within walking distance that are cooking homemade meals with fresh ingredients for about $1.50.
91
Here's something we don't have in Vietnam.
92
Big win for America.
93
They sell weed there, in case you couldn't tell.
94
Alright, let's get cost of living out of the way.
95
I'm not going to spend too much time here because it's obvious that America is a lot more expensive than Vietnam, but I'll give you some real-world examples.
96
My mom pays up to $200 per month for the electricity bill.
97
That's because in America, we demand comfort.
98
So the AC is running 24-7 in the summer and non-stop in the winter.
99
The winter part is actually fair because you would die.
100
So in America most houses have what's called central cooling.
101
So you set the temperature for the entire house and the AC is blowing non-stop out the vents in every room.
102
In Vietnam we have individual AC units on the wall, usually only in the bedrooms, and you turn them off and on as you need them.
103
So for comparison, the highest my electricity bill would ever be in the peak of summer is about $60.
104
And most of the time, it's a lot less than that.
105
To fill in the gas tank in your car, you might be looking at $50 or $60 at least once a week.
106
I fill up my motorbike in Vietnam for $3 maybe once a week.
107
In Vietnam, the government subsidizes fuel and electricity to keep the prices stable and affordable for most people.
108
One more pro for America.
109
I was going to say blue skies, but it got a little cloudy on me.
110
But there's pretty much no pollution here.
111
America wins this one hands down, and it is a big one.
112
Even in a busy major city like Chicago, the air is still really nice.
113
That's because we have way stricter emissions laws.
114
There's no factories, no agricultural burning in the countryside.
115
Pollution is a major problem for Vietnam, but it is something they're addressing pretty aggressively.
116
So I feel pretty good about where they're headed in the future.
117
I made a whole video about the pollution issue in Vietnam if you want to check that one out.
118
And while you're at it, you might as well subscribe to the channel if you're at all interested in Vietnam.
119
So one cultural thing that I've noticed, no one even thinks about taking their shoes off when they go inside the house.
120
In Vietnam, you would get slapped if you tried to walk in somebody's house with your shoes on.
121
That's why everybody wears slippers.
122
One more thing that's been causing me some issues over the last couple weeks, there's no bum guns in America.
123
I don't know how you can call yourself a civilized country without some way to spray your butthole with water.
124
You might as well go take a shit in the woods.
125
That with the type of food I've been eating for three weeks, yeah, we've been having some problems.
126
All in all, there's pros and cons to both places.
127
I know that growing up in America gave me the opportunity to travel the world
128
and be able to choose wherever I want to live.
129
So I love Vietnam.
130
I plan to be there forever.
131
But it has plenty of flaws, and it's definitely not for everyone.
132
So if you made it this far in the video, I really appreciate you watching.
133
I'll be back in Vietnam soon, and I'll catch you in the next one.
134
Peace.

이 비디오로 스피킹 연습하는 이유
일상적인 이야기에서부터 문화적 비교까지 다양한 주제를 자연스럽게 이야기하는 실생활 스피킹 컨텍스트가 담긴 이 비디오는 IELTS 스피킹 준비나 일상 영어 실력을 키우기에 최적입니다. 화자가 자신의 경험을 솔직하고 구체적으로 전달하는 방식은 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 perfect한 자료로, 자연스러운 리듬과 발음, 표현을 익힐 수 있습니다. 특히 "pros and cons"를 논할 때 사용하는 논리적 구조는 유튜브 영어 공부를 통해 실전에서 활용하기 쉽습니다.
문맥 속 문법 & 표현 분석
- "kinda weird": "kind of"의 구어체 표현으로, 덜 강한 느낌을 전달할 때 자주 사용됩니다. 스피킹에서 부드러운 표현을 원할 때 유용합니다.
- "It may seem like a little thing, but...": 대조적인 내용을 연결하는 구조로, 자신의 의견을 강조하면서 상대방을 설득할 때 효과적입니다. IELTS 스피킹 파트 3에서 유용하게 사용할 수 있습니다.
- "You can make an argument for or against both places": 두 가지 관점을 모두 논할 수 있음을 나타내는 표현으로, 논리적인 토론을 할 때 필수적인 구조입니다. shadowspeaks 연습 시 이 문장 구조를 반복하여 익히면 자연스러운 토론 능력이 향상됩니다.
발음의 함정 주의하기
이 비디오에서 주의해야 할 발음 부분은 "AstroTurf" (아스트로 터프)와 "suburbs" (서브urbs)입니다. "AstroTurf"는 '에이스트로터프'가 아닌 '애스트로터프'로 발음해야 하며, "suburbs"는 '서버브스'가 아니라 '서브즈'로 끝나는 것을 주의하세요. 또한, 화자가 자주 사용하는 축약형 "kinda" (kind of), "gotta" (got to)는 구어체 발음이므로 shadow speech 연습 시 원래 형태와 함께 익히는 것이 좋습니다. 이렇게 발음 traps을 파악하고 연습하면 자연스러운 영어 발음이 가능해집니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
