쉐도잉 연습: The Most Unique Experiences in Ho Chi Minh City 🇻🇳 - 영상으로 영어 말하기 배우기

Think you've already seen everything Ho Chi Minh City has to offer?

Think again!

Today, I'm trying unique experiences that most tourists completely miss.

We're going to learn how to make three different Vietnamese coffees, dress up in traditional Vietnamese clothing for a photo shoot,

and even make our own lotus tea from scratch.

Did you know the lotus is Vietnam's national flower?

By the end of the video, you'll understand why it's so important to Vietnamese culture.

about Vietnam, don't forget to check out my Ultimate Vietnam Guidebook in the description box below.

And now, let's start with one of the most iconic Vietnamese coffee.

Cafe Trứng the Egg Coffee.

Bye.

Vietnamese egg coffee was invented by Nguyễn Văn Giang in Hanoi

in 1946 during a milk shortage using whipped egg yolk instead of milk.

That sounds strange, right?

But trust me, it's very good.

First, you put about 25g of Robusta coffee in the Fint filter.

Give it a little shake to balance the coffee.

then brew it for a couple of minutes.

You can use this fin if you want to have a coffee party for 10 people.

But if you're feeling introverted, you can use the regular fin like this one.

While waiting, whisk the egg yolk with condensed milk for 3 -5 minutes until thick and fluffy.

Squeeze some lime to add depth.

Once it's done, scoop the egg cream into an empty warm cup, then pour the coffee into the middle.

Finish it off by caramelizing the top with a kitchen torch. And voila!

Let's give it a taste.

Have you ever had a coffee before?

No. No?

Yeah?

This is my first time.

Did you like it?

Yeah.

It's like dessert, like chiamisu.

Right?

The second type of coffee is the salt coffee.

Same concept.

Mix whipping cream, condensed milk, and a small pinch of salt until smooth and slightly foamy.

Pour the coffee into a cup, then top with the salted cream and cocoa powder.

Stir slightly or drink in layers.

Fun fact: Caffe Muay was created in Huế and became famous for balancing the bitterness of the coffee with a creamy, slightly salty flavor.

Last but not least, one of my favorite coffees is the coconut coffee.

Super easy to make, you just need to blend coconut milk, condense milk, pour the blended coconut mixture into the glass and add the coffee on top and serve cold.

It is so yummy.

And this is my hand after drinking three cups of coffee this morning.

By the way, I'm creating the Vietnamese Coffee Series starting this month to help you learn more about Vietnamese coffee.

as well as helping you discover the best coffee spots in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi and other parts of Vietnam.

but hitting the subscribe button is free.

So do it now.

To move from point A to point B, you can walk.

But if you want to save your travel time and enjoy all the activities, I highly recommend getting an eSIM with a strong internet connection to book a healing service.

One of the eSIMs that I recommend to my friends and family members is Sealy, who is also our sponsor for today's video.

I've been using Sealy for almost 3 years now, and what I love the most about Sealy is that they provide affordable plans in over 200 destinations.

Whether you travel globally or regionally, you'll always have the strong connection wherever you go.

You can just go to Settings, Cellular and activate your new eSIM.

After a few seconds, your eSIM is activated and ready to be used immediately.

With Celli, an eSIM can be only installed once.

Plus, having an eSIM can save you a ton of money on roaming fees.

I asked Silly to give my dear followers 15 % discount on Silly data plan.

Download Silly at silly .com /pho and apply the code - So at the checkout and you'll thank me later.

Now, Let's move on to the next activity.

When coming to Vietnam, you definitely need to take photos in traditional Vietnamese clothing.

The beautiful dress I'm wearing is called ao dai and there are styles for both men and women.

I took my photos at Gão Nô Studio not only because they have the cutest cat, but they also prepare foot massages, face masks for glowing skin,

snacks and tea to make the whole the outfit and the accessories,

does your makeup to match the look and styles your hair as well.

VIP experience.

This is my final look.

What do you think?

So I just got my hair and my makeup done.

We're moving to the destination to take some outside picture and I'm with the team right now.

This is...

Minh Thư.

This is...

Tiaf. And then...

Cathy.

Katie or Kathy?

Katie. And no driver.

Just spoke Vietnamese.

Okay.

Are you guys ready?

Ready?

Ready!

Come on louder!

Are you guys ready?

Ready!

Did you guys eat breakfast yet?

No!

Okay!

The whole session takes about half of the day and the team was incredibly professional.

Always making sure I was comfortable with makeup touch -ups, water and everything I need for the best experience.

And if you don't know how to pose, don't worry.

They even guide you on where to look and how to pose beautifully in the outside.

I'm so happy with the results.

I'll leave all the links to the activities I joined in the description box below so you can check them out too.

Okay, let's go to location number 2.

Bye.

100

Move forward.

101

Yeah, very good.

102

One, two, three, go.

103

Okay, so we just finished our shooting today.

104

Thank you so much guys for helping me.

105

Bye!

106

Inside this leaf, There's a lotus flower.

107

Inside this lotus flower, there's tea.

108

And I'm drinking some lotus tea right now.

109

And let's go back 24 hours ago to learn how to make lotus tea.

110

I came to a lotus tea workshop hidden above the pho

111

restaurant in Vietnam to learn how one of the country's most unique and luxurious teas is made.

112

And what surprised me is that making lotus tea isn't just about brewing tea, it's an art that requires a lot of patience and skills.

113

Before today, I thought lotus tea was simply tea with lotus flavoring.

114

Turns out I was completely wrong.

115

The workshop begins with something that looks simple: a lotus flower.

116

But here is the fun fact: the lotus is Vietnam's national flower and is deeply connected to Vietnamese culture.

117

Even though it grows in muddy water, it blooms beautifully above the surface.

118

That's why many Vietnamese people see it as a symbol of resilience, purity and rising above challenges.

119

Another crazy fact is that the authentic lotus tea is extremely time -consuming to make.

120

Some traditional teas are scented by placing green tea inside fresh lotus flowers overnight, so the tea can absorb the natural fragrance.

121

And for the premium lotus tea, workers have to collect tiny lotus stemnens by hand.

122

Sometimes, thousands of flowers are needed for just one kilogram of tea.

123

That's one reason authentic lotus tea can be surprisingly expensive.

124

Now is my turn.

125

I'm giving fresh lotus flowers and tea leaves and honestly, I thought it would be easy.

126

It wasn't.

127

The process requires carefully opening the flower without damaging the delicate petals.

128

Every movement feels like I'm performing flower surgery.

129

As I start working, I realize why Lotus Tea has been considered a luxury for centuries is incredibly labor -intensive.

130

There are no shortcuts if you want the natural aroma.

131

And while I'm struggling not to destroy my flower, the instructor makes it look so effortless.

132

So I decided to tell her the story of why the tea cup doesn't have a handle to sound smarter

133

so I can make it up for my skills.

134

Tea is from China, so like they designed a cup that didn't have the handle.

135

is because they know that if the tea is hot and you can't like pick it up, that means it's hot.

136

So don't drink it yet.

137

You might burn your tongue.

138

Yes.

139

But then if you hold it and then, oh, it's warm enough.

140

hot enough and then your fingers can handle it, it means like your tea is the perfect temperature to drink.

141

The ideology is like trust your gut, trust your feeling.

142

Yeah.

143

yeah don't depend on the tool or technology trust your feelings After preparing the lotus flower,

144

we begin the scenting process.

145

The room is filled with a subtle floral fragrance.

146

not overpowering like perfume, but soft and elegant.

147

What's interesting is that Lotus Tea doesn't actually taste strongly like flowers.

148

Instead, it has a delicate aroma that makes the tea feel smoother and more refined.

149

At this point, I finally understand why people are willing to pay so much for it.

150

But my favorite part of the workshop is in making the tea.

151

It's hearing the stories behind it.

152

Lotus tea has been enjoyed in Vietnam for generations, especially in Hanoi, where some families have passed down the craft for decades.

153

What started as drink eventually became part of Vietnamese cultural heritage.

154

And that's something I love about experiences like this You're not just learning a skill, you're learning the history.

155

the traditions and the stories that make a place unique.

156

Now comes to the moment of truth.

157

We brew the tea.

158

After all that work, I'm honestly nervous.

159

What if it tastes exactly like regular tea?

160

Luckily, it doesn't.

161

The aroma is incredibly delicate, almost calming.

162

It's the kind of tea that makes you slow down and actually pay attention to what you're drinking.

163

And knowing how much effort went into every cup somehow makes it taste even better.

164

So if you're visiting Vietnam and looking for something beyond food tours and sightseeing, I highly recommend trying a Lotus Tea Workshop.

165

Not only will you learn about fascinating tradition, but you'll also gain a whole new appreciation for what's inside the simple cup of tea.

166

And next time you see Lotus Tea on the menu, you'll know there's an incredible amount of craftsmanship behind every sip.

167

This is only part one for the unique things to do in Ho Chi Minh City.

168

Make sure you subscribe for part 2.

169

Thank you for watching and I'll see you guys in the next videos.

170

Bye.

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.
