Welcome back to a new video guys.

Today you'll be learning English using comprehensible input.

In this video you'll be following my brother

and I around Beijing as we go explore different places and try to buy some things.

We are going to an antique market this morning

which is one of the biggest antique markets here in Beijing

and then we'll also go shopping because I need to buy some t -shirts

because this is one of my last t -shirts I have.

This video is sponsored by Saley.

So follow along.

You will be our best friend.

So I will talk to you the same way I talk to my friends back home.

So if you want to learn English the way native English speakers really talk, watch this whole video.

Looks pretty soft.

The original.

I'm not a child.

Yeah, the roads are right there.

But it's pretty good.

But they removed it.

Now it's an Adidas.

Each side of this station.

Let's get started.

The first thing we're going to do is go into this convenience store

and buy some water we are in a convenience store

and we're just buying water

and maybe a light snack what do you have leon i got a bottle of water

and a breakfast loaf here so he got some bread for breakfast

and also a bottle of water

and you can see i kind of look like i just woke up my eyes are a little bit swollen

and i look tired and that's

because i did just wake up you could also see i have a pimple right under my nose

but don't look at that anyway today we're going to an antique market

so let's get going someone told me that

that drink is very very good and i tried it the other day

and it was very good

it really reminds me of this drink in canada called brisk to me it tastes very very similar

so we just left the convenience store i bought this bottle of water leon bought

that water and that cake thing

and now we're going to go down over there to catch a bus how far is the market

it's a 30 minute bus ride

so it's a 30 minute bus ride can you guys tell

me have you ever been to an antique market have i ever been to an antique market um yes yes

i'm trying to think of what would be like a specific antique market maybe the one

i went to in korea i went to like a market

that just did antiques yeah i don't really know the last time

i kind of went to a market similar to

that was in korea at jongmio i believe flea market i don't know have you ever been to korea

because i know you've always told me you wanted to go

but i haven't talked to you in a while

so i'm not sure if you've been there yet or not

and if you haven't let me know

and i'll give you all the best recommendations for korea

because i i lived there for a year like you know i told you

so many stories about that is that our bus about my time in korea is it yeah 515.

when's the next one 20 minutes really yeah okay well we just missed our bus

and now we have to wait 20 minutes yeah let's see what the hell let's just walk

this station see what the path says well i was telling you

if you go to korea let me know i'll give you the best recommendations i'm not korean

but i did live there for a year

and i explored a lot of korea

so i would say i have some pretty good recommendations for you anyway

we're trying to find a new path now since we just missed the bus okay

so now we're about to take these bikes to the station

and i actually left my glasses here that's the convenience store we went to we walked back here

because i left my glasses on

that ledge wow you find not very smart i did find them i did find them

so we're good anyway let's go okay let me check how

Thank you, Salie, for sponsoring this video.

Okay, so we've just gone into the metro station, and we're now going down the escalator to catch our train.

We need to take line number three, and does that go directly to there?

No, we're taking 17.

Is this not line 17?

No, this is three.

I'm trolling.

This is line three.

Is that Ronaldo?

That's Messi.

Who's Messi?

He's a nobody.

I actually cut that.

I don't want to get cancelled.

Yeah, you're going to get stoned by all the soccer fans.

Tack for the Argentina fans. For real.

Anyway, this train will take us directly to the market.

So it shouldn't be that long.

It should be pretty chill.

So you can see there are platforms on each side of this station.

100

But we are going towards this side.

101

And the station is very similar to Korea.

102

Korea looks exactly like this.

103

It's just different characters.

104

Okay guys, now it's your turn to answer.

105

Do you take the metro often?

106

Or do you take the bus?

107

Or do you drive? what type of transport do you take mostly

108

or do you just walk I ride the bike

109

I love riding bikes too that's probably my favorite one riding bikes that's a lot of fun

110

but I also like taking the bus we are now outside of the market Panjia Yuan China

111

that sound good okay

112

now let's go into this market have you ever been to

113

this market me not yet not yet well let's go

114

and explore it together then this is the entrance to the market the gate is very beautiful actually look at

115

that and you can see apartment buildings in the background okay

116

so here is the map of the market we are right here i think

117

or no we're right here this is our location

118

so we can walk down here and see the whole market

119

so this is the beginning of the market where should we go first i think let's i don't need books

120

so let's go there first we are standing at the entrance to a famous traditional market in Beijing.

121

A market is a public space where many independent sellers gather to display and sell their goods.

122

Unlike a modern shopping mall, a traditional market often feels more personal, unpredictable, and full of character.

123

Every stall offers something different so visitors never know what exactly they will discover.

124

Inside, vendors sell an enormous variety of items

125

we can find vintage objects old coins decorative pottery traditional chinese paintings calligraphy brushes handwritten artworks folding fans jewelry ornaments

126

and handmade crafts some objects are practical while others are collected because they are beautiful unusual or historically interesting.

127

There are also stalls selling snacks drinks and local food

128

which makes the market enjoyable even for visitors who do not intend to buy anything.

129

People walk slowly between the stalls examine objects carefully compare prices

130

and sometimes negotiate with the sellers bargaining can be part of the experience although it should always be done politely

131

traditional markets are fascinating because they combine shopping culture history

132

and everyday life they allow us to see objects

133

that we would rarely encounter in an ordinary store even without

134

purchasing anything exploring the market feels like searching through a vast collection of stories

135

are you looking for anything specific anything specific no but

136

if i do see something cool or a nice souvenir then i'll definitely get

137

that but i don't think you should buy anything expensive here like jade

138

or pearls because i know beijing is known for their jade and pearls

139

but i wouldn't buy it in a market here like i think

140

that's supposed to be jade here they have a lot of rocks

141

and some bracelets looks nice honestly it looks like here you can choose your own rocks to make a bracelet or something

142

and they have all different colors like that's like dark blue

143

this is red that's turquoise i like this oh that's from minecraft lapis lazula

144

okay guys so i bought this little keychain here

145

because one i like this like baby blue color

146

and also this looks like an acorn and it was only one dollar

147

and i like having keychains do you have keychains on your bag i do not have a keychain

148

because that is for little children i'm not a child

149

but this kind of looks like you does it i see now you have to kiss to the left

150

oh anyway let's keep on exploring this market

151

we should get something to eat too

152

i'm kind of hungry yeah the food area is back

153

there oh it's back there yeah let's walk through build up an appetite

154

and then go eat something

155

so now we're in the center of the market here it's not crazy busy

156

which is surprising because it is saturday

157

so i thought it would be a lot busier

158

so that's not bad here they're selling traditional fans oh

159

that guy's actually riding on the fan with gold something

160

i want to buy though is a pair of chopsticks

161

that's what i want this lady is live streaming trying to sell her products

162

i really like all like the walnut jewelry and stuff very cool

163

so i think this is the jewelry area he's selling pearls there here they're selling probably precious metals

164

and precious stones i see a lot of gold

165

and a lot of bright stones i like this dark stone super cool really dark i like

166

that this area looks super cool this painting is funny oh

167

i wonder what they're gossiping about i wonder what they're laughing about that's a cute tiger this looks like paintings

168

and calligraphy this is all super nice

169

i've never been to a market like this not me either

170

i would just say this is like more like traditional

171

because all of this stuff is traditional chinese things yeah

172

it looks like these guys are cleaning the walnuts

173

i would buy one of those just for 10 these yeah oh these ones are more expensive

174

i think the ones like this are more these are like 100 200 500 depending on size no

175

it's like these are more processing clean actually maybe those are these ones less i don't even know the difference

176

but yeah he's brushing them clean there and then putting them in

177

that other container okay so right now we're inside

178

or i'm inside this building leon went to the washroom

179

so i'm here alone and i'm just walking around

180

and exploring i really don't like shopping a lot

181

but i like walking through antique stores and places

182

that just have old things because there's like history behind it

183

and it's just cool to look at something that existed in the past

184

but doesn't anymore did you find the washroom there was one in the entrance

185

when we came in so here they're selling coins

186

and old money here they're selling bracelets

187

and other antiques okay this looks like a real antique area i think this vibe

188

that it's giving me is like everyone just brought stuff from their home

189

that their grandma or grandma had

190

and now they're trying to sell it are you a antique finder i am not an antique finder

191

or an antique expert i do not know any antiques in general especially chinese

192

you think those are all ancient coins no unless they're bronze bronze isn't worth

193

that much okay i was wondering what that noise was

194

and it's like huge bugs can you hear that why are they

195

so big what the heck oh hell no imagine they just get out

196

and attack you look at them dude that's crazy these bugs are being kept in red

197

and green cages and that's how they should be just stay in there okay guys

198

so now i am the proud owner of two walnuts what do you open

199

that for me what are are like uh stress relievers bless me they're like fidget toys right yeah

200

so i guess you just go like this i'm not really

201

used to it you just go like this until they're smooth yeah

202

and the oil in your hands will make them darker

203

and smoother yeah

204

and you can see the beautiful ridges on these ones

205

i hope they're real it looks too perfect yeah

206

it kind of looks a little plasticky is there supposed to

207

be a walnut in it it should smell like walnuts too

208

oh that smells like walnut well it was only 20

209

so i don't know but did you get your walnut brush nah i don't need

210

that anyway now i'm the proud owner of some walnuts

211

so hopefully in like a year these things will be like buttery smooth okay

212

so this is what i got and i also got

213

that to eat at the market this is like a very thin crispy pancake

214

you can see i've already taken a few bites out of it

215

but it's pretty good it's very crunchy and thin as you can see

216

so this is the one thing really good okay

217

so we're sitting outside here at this like food court we ordered our food

218

and we're sitting with this family leon got noodles dumplings

219

and i got this flat pancake thing and these noodles

220

and these noodles are super good you can see the boil in the bottom

221

but she put like this creamy sauce on it so it's really nice and creamy let's try some

222

looks like you took a bite of your hair there good

223

it's good it looks good i actually really like these noodles

224

they're super good what about you i like these ones too they're a lot plainer

225

but they're still pretty good too yeah i mean this is what we're having for lunch

226

and what are we gonna do after this we're gonna go to

227

that that mall i forget the name but we're gonna go to

228

that mall and buy some stuff yeah i forgot the name too but it's not far from here it's pretty close yeah

229

Okay guys, so we're leaving the market now and we just ate but it hurt my stomach a lot.

230

I think that cream sauce that they used doesn't really sit well in my stomach so I think we're both feeling it.

231

Yeah.

232

Maybe there was a reason there was nobody else there buying food.

233

That cream sauce made us feel a little bit sick. Who knows.

234

Now we're trying to walk it off.

235

Tell me, what do you guys do when you're not feeling well

236

and you're feeling sick? do you lay down

237

or do you go for a walk actually you think there's a bathroom in the train station

238

probably yeah right now we're just trying to walk it off we're gonna take a bicycle to a mall though

239

and continue shopping because here we only bought or i only bought

240

that one keychain

241

and those walnuts that's all i bought okay guys

242

we are now at the mall

243

this mall is huge man on the way here did you see how big

244

it was i saw it have you seen a mall bigger than this I don't think so.

245

Maybe in Edmonton, the West Edmonton Mall, but this wall is huge and they have a Tesla shop.

246

Oh, wow.

247

And they have the Popmart LeBooBoo.

248

Oh, they actually have the unreleased Tesla...

249

Roadster?

250

Yeah, the Roadster right there.

251

Oh, really?

252

Yeah.

253

That's not the Roadster.

254

Looks like the Roadster.

255

That's like the most base model

256

Tesla there is.

257

Let's go into Tesla real quick.

258

Look at the cars.

259

Oh, look.

260

Kid's whipping the Tesla.

261

Yeah, he's whipping in the Tesla.

262

What I want to see is the robot.

263

Look at that thing did you hear

264

that elon musk is going to replace all his workers with these robots bro

265

this looks like super dystopian the tesla robot

266

that looks like it's from what's

267

that movie with will smith i robot i robot then you have a tesla there oh i like

268

that color that's the roadster that's what i saw from outside

269

so this is a showroom a tesla showroom

270

and these are all their vehicles i've seen the cybertruck a few times in person okay

271

so now we're going up the escalator.

272

This looks like a pop -up store.

273

I've never seen that character before but we're going upwards.

274

You can see people are taking photos along the side there

275

and on the inside you can buy phone cases and dolls and stuff.

276

I just ran into some cats up here.

277

Look at the ears on that cat and that one too.

278

There's just a bunch of cats in this area.

279

That one has a very fluffy tail.

280

okay so i just went into adidas down there this is nike tell me guys do you say nike

281

or nike i personally say nike but i know a lot of people say nike

282

and this top floor is just outdoor clothes

283

and also other sports clothes that's what these stores mostly are although

284

that one is casual okay guys now i'm in this fitting room

285

or you can call it a change room have you guys ever been in a change room.

286

I think you have to come into a change room every time you shop for clothes in person

287

because this is the best way to find out if something fits you and if you like it.

288

So as you can see here I got five items.

289

Five items.

290

I'll hang this on this hook and now let me go through the five items with you.

291

I got this t -shirt.

292

One.

293

I got pants.

294

Number two.

295

Another t -shirt.

296

Three.

297

Another t -shirt four

298

and the last item a star wars t -shirt five i would like to say

299

that the first star wars movie or show

300

or anything i ever watched was star wars like the third trilogy

301

so the one with ray that was the first one i watched

302

so i guess it was movie number seven movie number seven was the first star wars star wars movie

303

i ever watched i have never watched the original two trilogies so but I've never watched the first six movies at all.

304

Tell me, have you guys watched the Star Wars movies?

305

Have you watched all three trilogies?

306

Let me know in the comments.

307

I personally have never watched all six.

308

I've just watched the three most recent ones, but people say the original six are the best.

309

I just don't really enjoy watching movies too much, you know?

310

I would rather like watch reality TV, like 90 Day Fiance or like something that's real because movies

311

and stuff just feel too fake to me

312

and i would rather just watch something real now i don't even enjoy watching avengers

313

or anything or marvel at all

314

because i just i can't get into the universe anymore you know

315

when i was younger and i was a kid it was way easier now not

316

so much but let's try clothes on okay

317

so i've just tried on all five of these t -shirts

318

and i like the design

319

but they don't fit on me good except for this t -shirt this is the last t -shirt

320

and i think it fits me pretty good

321

i like the design on the back of the t -shirt i think it looks really nice

322

and i don't really have a lot of white t -shirts

323

because i don't wear white very often but i do like this design

324

so i think i'll get this t -shirt the pants i'm not sure yet i don't hate them

325

but i don't love them but i don't know i don't think i'll get the pants

326

but i like the t -shirt

327

so i think i'll just go with the t -shirt what

328

do you guys think should i go with the t -shirt

329

or should i go with the pants

330

and the t -shirt let me know in comments

331

and then i'll tell you in the comments what i got we're in this bakery now

332

and i think i'm gonna buy some snacks here

333

i love cream buns okay i'm gonna get an oreo chocolate pineapple bun

334

this one looks super good rich taro paste cream bun i just want a regular cream bun you know okay

335

so these are the three pastries we got

336

this one's an oreo pineapple bun this one's a blueberry with cream cheese

337

and that one is a cream bread or ice bread okay

338

so we're in the bakery and here are our three items

339

that we bought let's try

340

this one since it has to be eaten cold let me open

341

it up oh this better not be matcha bro that's much

342

that was bamboo shoot wasn't bamboo but what does that even mean?

343

It looks pretty soft.

344

There's a lot of filling in there.

345

No, they're super good. Is it?

346

it's not too sweet and it's very like refreshing which i like

347

but i don't know what this is i guess that's bamboo what does bamboo taste like

348

like nothing it's probably just sugar this was like blueberry

349

and cheese or something and i wonder if it's literally cheese or if it's cream cheese no it's cream cheese

350

That looks messy.

351

Let me try it.

352

Honestly, all I taste is blueberry.

353

I don't taste any cheese.

354

Not bad though, not bad.

355

Okay, last but not least, the Oreo pineapple bun.

356

Oreo pineapple?

357

That's a crazy combo.

358

No, no, it's called the pineapple bun.

359

Oh, like a melon bun.

360

There's no pineapple in it though.

361

It's just called the pineapple.

362

There's like a piece of chocolate in there.

363

Crazy.

364

dude this is the best one is it it's actually so good what and you're about to leave it too

365

what's in there okay that's a big piece of chocolate

366

it's not chocolate it's like a mousse chocolate mousse

367

this is the best one though out of the three you're lying i swear

368

but why is it not on the top six list

369

i don't know maybe it's new we're leaving the mall now we have our food in the basket there

370

and we got on the bikes

371

we just got off the bicycles down there

372

and we have been cycling for probably about half an hour

373

and i'm really tired but we're going to uniqlo here

374

so we're in the downtown area

375

and we're going to another mall to the h &m the h &m store here since the last mall

376

we were at did not have an h &m store okay we are now in uniqlo doing some shopping

377

or sorry h &m i don't know why i keep calling it uniqlo it's h &m

378

so we're in h &m now doing some shopping okay

379

so we went to h &m in the mall there

380

but look at how dystopian this mall looks it's just like empty there's just like like a kid playing

381

but besides that this mall is just completely empty there's like no one around

382

and the outside of the mall looks very empty too like the buildings around it are absolutely huge

383

but there's just not much going on it's very empty there's unique across from it

384

but it's just also empty and quiet

385

and it's a saturday it's like 4 p .m on a saturday

386

this is like the prime time for people to come out also

387

that used to be a zara you would kind of see the zara home logo there

388

but they removed it now it's an adidas

389

but at least they have this roof to protect us from the rain

390

if it does rain this place is pretty dystopian eh it's just so quiet

391

and empty this roof here lights up yeah i feel like at one point in time this was just packed

392

and busy and like a lot of fun to be here

393

but now it's just empty like for example

394

that mall we were just at was so so packed

395

but then when you compare to this this one is just completely empty

396

but at least they have a tim hortons over there

397

which is a canadian coffee chain

398

i'm just sitting here relaxing probably for 10 15 minutes

399

i don't know why we're sitting here it's hot as heck here

400

and we're just sitting here

401

so we're gonna start heading back we'll probably take what bicycles this is not

402

that far how far is it 35 minutes to drive

403

okay guys we're back where we started to end the video here at the convenience store

404

i bought a water an ice cream

405

and chocolate milk all i got was water after a long day of exploring

406

we stopped at a convenience store to buy some snacks and a large bottle of water.

407

Convenience stores are designed for quick, simple purchases.

408

They are usually smaller than supermarkets and often stay open for longer hours, making them useful when people need something immediately.

409

Inside a convenience store, you can usually find bottled drinks, packaged snacks, instant noodles, candy,

410

basic toiletries, and ready -to -eat food.

411

The selection is limited, but the most common items are easy to locate.

412

Because convenience is the main purpose, the prices may be slightly higher than those at a larger grocery store.

413

A grocery store or supermarket serves a different purpose.

414

It offers a much wider variety of products, including fresh fruit, vegetables, meat,

415

dairy products, cleaning supplies, and household essentials.

416

People usually visit grocery stores when they need to purchase food and supplies for several days or an entire week.

417

We only needed water and a few snacks, so the convenience store was the perfect choice.

418

After walking for hours, being able to enter quickly and buy what we needed and continue our journey felt incredibly helpful.

419

Structuur	In de video
Present perfect have/has + voltooid deelwoord — iets uit het verleden dat nu nog telt	you've always told · haven't talked · you've been

Overtreffende trap the -est / the most … — het hoogste of laagste van een groep	the biggest · our best · the best
Advies met “should” should + werkwoord — zeggen wat een goed idee is	should we go · should buy · should get

Uitspraak om op te letten

De spreker gebruikt 137 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals we're, don't, I'm. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.

De “th”-klanken: thin /ˈθɪn/, smooth /smuːð/, gather /ˈɡæðɚ/
De klanken “sh” en “zh”: brush /bɹʌʃ/, recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/
Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: recommendation /ˌɹɛkəmɛnˈdeɪʃən/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/, unusual /ʌnˈjuːʒ(u)əl/, ordinary /ˈɔɹdɪnɛɹi/, incredibly /ɪŋˈkɹɛdɪbli/

Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:

Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: bronze /bɹɑnz/, bug /bʌɡ/, household /ˈhaʊshoʊld/, package /ˈpæk.ɪd͡ʒ/, arrive /əˈɹaɪv/
/æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: snack /snæk/, pants /pænts/, bamboo /bæmˈbu/, grandma /ˈɡɹænmɑː/, vast /væst/
/g/ — een harde plofklank, geen Nederlandse “g”: grocery /ˈɡɹəʊ.s(ə.)ɹi/, bug /bʌɡ/, grandma /ˈɡɹænmɑː/, gate /ˈɡeɪ̯t/, hungry /ˈhʌŋ.ɡɹi/

Zo oefen je met deze video

Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
Begin op 0,75× snelheid, spreek zin voor zin na en ga terug naar normale snelheid zodra het makkelijk gaat.
Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als mall, antique, convenience.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?

Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
