쉐도잉 연습: Learn Real-Life English: What I Found Inside an American Trailer Park 🇺🇸 | Comprehensible Input - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Are you ready to learn some real life English?

Well good, because today we're going to continue showing you the side of America that you will not see in the movies.

Today we are going to explore the American trailer park.

Let's go.

Alright guys, so the lovely camera wife and I are driving around a trailer park right now.

In this video, I want to give you guys a fair view of what a real trailer park is like.

And I'm going to be very honest.

This one that we're in is awful.

Terrible trailer park, guys.

I wouldn't want my worst enemy to live here.

It's very sad.

The houses, well, the homes are destroyed.

Mobile homes is another word we use for trailers, guys.

and these mobile homes here are destroyed

but there's actually people still living in them very sad

so what I want to do in this video guys is be fair

and show you that not all trailer parks look like this okay

because

when you think of a trailer park maybe you think of

a trailer like this can you show this one out the

window I'm going to just stick it out to another something like this completely ugly

and just destroyed and the honest truth is there's a lot of trailer parks like

that here in the u.s but there's also some

that are very clean the people take care of them just honest people trying to live their lives

and raise their families

so i wanted to show you guys the extremes okay this

one is the extreme towards the bad end now let's see

if we can find a nice trailer park to show you as well to be fair

and honest

so guys why would somebody want to live in a place

like this well honestly it's cheaper it's much more affordable than

a normal home one of these places to buy can be anywhere between 20

and 100 000 and an average house in the united can be around $400,000 which is crazy.

So for a lot of people this is the only option

but there are some things that make these places not as cheap as you might think.

So a lot of people live here just trying to find an affordable place to live but there are some issues guys.

You are one living in a place that maybe is kind of dangerous.

Maybe there's a lot of drugs or bad things in these places and some of the more not nice ones.

We're going to show you one that is mainly just older people,

but these ones can be dangerous and have a lot of dangerous people in them.

But it's not as cheap as people think.

What do I mean by that?

Well, even if you own one of these trailers,

you're not renting it, you own it,

you still have to pay something called lot rent.

Okay, what is lot rent?

Well, a company or an investor owns this whole piece of land

and you have to pay rent for the little piece of land that your trailer is sitting on.

Many people don't know that.

So even if you fully own this place,

you still have to pay property taxes

and lot rent to the person who owns the lot or the big piece of land.

Another thing people don't realize about these trailer homes or mobile homes is that there's a lot of money in maintenance.

And what maintenance means is taking care of it.

So guys, I told you in another video that I lived in one of these before.

Okay?

Now, something that happened to me that I had no idea could happen in one of these places.

In the winter, guys, it gets so cold here.

Now all of the plumbing and pipes are under these houses.

Underneath the houses, not underground like they would be in a normal house.

So these houses sit up and have all the pipes underneath them, okay?

And in the winter, the pipes freeze solid, guys.

So what happens is you do not have running water in your home

if you don't take care of them the right way,

if you don't know that this can happen.

And that happened to me.

So, guys, the pipes froze,

and I would try and turn on the faucet for the water.

Shh.

Nothing happened.

So then you have to pay somebody to come and heat them up.

And it's a big deal, guys.

And it happens to all of them unless you know about it and are prepared.

I was not.

Another thing, guys, why these are not investments at all.

Maybe somebody thinks, well, it's a cheap way to buy a home.

And then I have an investment.

I have a home that's worth money.

No guys, because trailers are the only kind of homes that go down in value.

Okay?

If I buy a house like the house we live in,

that is going to raise in value every year forever.

That's just the way that real estate works guys.

They go up and up and up the value as long as you take care of the property.

Trailers go down and down and down because they are made

so poorly made out of really bad material

and that's just the sad truth guys

if you buy this home it's going to be worth less every single year

so it is not an investment those are some things

that maybe people don't think about okay guys this is one of the trailer parks by where i grew up

and you can see the sign right here it says the name of the park

and then it says a great place to live

but we're going to drive through here

and you guys tell me in the comments do you think

this is a great place to live we're going to drive right through here without cutting

and editing the shot just show you what it looks like

and guys i know this place this place has a reputation for drugs being in here

and like i said the dangerous people so you could just see the state that these places are in

and even the street.

100

Show the street, Amor.

101

Can you see how messed up the road is?

102

Guys, we're bumping all over the place just trying to drive in here.

103

They don't take care of it at all,

104

and you can just see the state that these mobile homes are in.

105

Guys, would you call this a nice place to live,

106

a great place to live,

107

like it says on the sign?

108

I personally would not

109

but hey everybody has their own opinions maybe to some people this is a great place to live

110

look at this one you can see guys the side of this one is just falling off Wow.

111

Come on, show that little hole down there.

112

So guys, that's what I was talking about when I said that the trailer sits up.

113

In there is where all of the pipes and the running water goes underneath one of these homes.

114

And that, in the winter,

115

gets freezing cold under there.

116

And all of those pipes freeze solid.

117

And unless you have a heater under there,

118

which they don't tell you when you rent the place,

119

you will not have running water.

120

It will freeze, your pipes will break,

121

and you'll have to pay a lot of extra money to get it fixed.

122

No windows on this one.

123

The glass is broken on this one.

124

My poor pregnant wife guys,

125

this road is so bad it's shaking us all over the place.

126

Our poor daughter is in there like, whoa what's happening?

127

That is a very old trailer.

128

It looks like the roof is coming apart on this one.

129

So I guarantee that water is leaking into that home when it rains.

130

Oh man.

131

Terrible guys.

132

Absolutely terrible.

133

Alright, now let's try and find a nice trailer park so I can show you guys that it's not all like this.

134

Now guys, this little neighborhood here is literally 10 seconds away from that terrible trailer park we were just in.

135

So you can see there's people living an upper middle class

136

life right next to people who are surviving in those terrible, terrible homes.

137

And that's really something that's kind of characteristic of the United States,

138

guys, or at least where I live.

139

You could be in a terrible,

140

terrible place and then 10 seconds away is beautiful homes,

141

people that are not struggling.

142

So I wonder how more if you can see.

143

Show over there.

144

That's literally where we just were, guys.

145

Right there.

146

Is right next to these beautiful homes.

147

And it's insane, guys, because people are living maybe,

148

you know, a hundred meters away from each other.

149

I'll use meters for you guys around the world.

150

Maybe 100 meters away from each other in two completely different realities.

151

Imagine the difference of the life between somebody living in this home

152

and somebody living in one of those homes we just saw, guys.

153

Two entirely different worlds right next to each other.

154

and that is

155

wow that's just that is what you don't see

156

about America on TV or the movies that this can be right next to that hell we just saw

157

which one would you rather live in camera wife of course yeah

158

me too wow alright guys now this is a much much nicer trailer park.

159

Show these ones to your right.

160

And you can see how wide these are, guys.

161

These are called double-wide trailers.

162

And what that means is they're basically two trailers put together next to each other.

163

And they are actually really big inside, guys.

164

And these newer looking ones are actually really nice inside, too.

165

I'll see if I can find a picture to put up on the screen.

166

But you can even see these people take care of their yards.

167

They keep their houses clean.

168

They have flowers.

169

So guys, this over here,

170

this really feels more like a neighborhood than a trailer park.

171

Because you would feel safe walking around in here.

172

You know, your kids could play.

173

Not people, you know, sitting outside doing drugs.

174

So this kind of area around here,

175

guys, is really more older people who are retired

176

and maybe they don't have a job anymore so they don't have a lot of money coming in.

177

So it's much cheaper for them to move here

178

and live the rest of their life in a smaller home but still peacefully.

179

So this is actually a really good option for people who are retired

180

or older and don't have a lot of money coming in.

181

Wow some of these actually look really nice.

182

So guys, you could definitely see here that even when you're talking about trailer parks,

183

they are not all the same.

184

And wow, you wouldn't even feel bad living in here, honestly.

185

No. The only problem, guys,

186

is what I mentioned before, and it's that stereotype.

187

So, you know,

188

you say you live where do you live kyle oh i live in the trailer park over by the walmart

189

so if someone hears that they're gonna think about you know a low class kind of people and you know

190

maybe i'll do a little experiment

191

and type in trailer park people into google images later

192

and show you guys what pops up but they're gonna assume

193

that you're a low class kind of person

194

and you're gonna say no no no no it's the nice trailer park it's the really good one

195

and you know nobody's gonna believe you but here you can see guys this is a decent place to live

196

that one looks like a house can you show that over there that looks like just a house guys This street,

197

nice trees with beautiful flowers on them.

198

Just a decent place to live.

199

And for an older person who doesn't care about impressing people with their house,

200

this is not a bad place at all.

201

So guys, the point of this video was to show you a little bit more of the American life

202

that you won't see on TV.

203

but also to show you that everyone who lives in a trailer park isn't low class

204

and every trailer park isn't a terrible place where people go to find drugs

205

and you know where people don't have any of their teeth

206

and stuff like that because that's honestly the the stereotype guys that's what people assume

207

when they think of trailers but um one of my uncles actually lives in this place

208

and his trailer is actually a really nice home so tons of people just raising their families here

209

or older people trying to live out the rest of their days peacefully in a safe clean place

210

so maybe this gave you guys something to think about in

211

these latest videos i've been trying to show you guys

212

that my country is not what everybody thinks it is my wife was even telling me that when she came here,

213

she thought everybody lived like in that really nice neighborhood we just showed you.

214

And that's simply not the truth, guys.

215

There's so many different lifestyles in this country.

216

So many people are living in different ways.

217

And it's not all beautiful,

218

but this is the truth of the United States.

219

So tell me, guys, in the comments,

220

if you're still watching, what do you think about this?

221

Does this surprise you seeing this side of the U.S.?

222

And tell me if there's anything else you'd like to see.

223

All right, guys, we're going to end the video here.

224

My pregnant wife is hungry.

225

I have to go to the store and get her an avocado because she said our daughter wants an avocado.

226

Our daughter's still in her stomach,

227

guys, but she thinks that they can talk to each other somehow.

228

My wife's not crazy, guys.

229

She's the best.

230

All right, guys.

231

Thanks for spending your time with us.

232

Thanks for being here.

233

I will see you in the next video.

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.
