1
Hey, guys. Nice to see you.
2
I didn't notice you guys there.
3
Just kidding.
4
Okay. Hello my friends.
5
Guess where I am right now.
6
Did you guess?
7
I'm going to give you a little hint.
8
Did you understand that?
9
Me neither.
10
Okay, guys, we are in Montreal.
11
A city in Canada.
12
A city that is very interesting where they speak French and English.
13
And I am super happy because this is the first time in my life I have heard people speaking French in real life.
14
Not on my phone, not on the TV.
15
I'm super excited.
16
It's only 3 p.m.
17
right now, but we've had a long day already and some cool things have happened already.
18
So I just want to tell you guys a little bit about our day getting here and what we're going to do on this trip.
19
So the flight was really short, but we had to get up early.
20
We got up at 530 this morning and it was an hour and a half flight.
21
Super easy.
22
But after that, something interesting happened.
23
We got an Uber.
24
We got an Uber, and I was looking on the phone and it said that the driver, he spoke French and Spanish.
25
And he said yes.
26
And this guy was from Haiti, guys.
27
And he was a polyglot.
28
He spoke Haitian Creole.
29
He spoke French, spoke English, Portuguese and Spanish.
30
And his Spanish was super good.
31
So we got to speak a little bit, French and Spanish with him.
32
Then we, Wait.
33
That was on our first.
34
Interesting thing was it.
35
What did I do?
36
Speak your French to a lady who really understand, understood everything that you said.
37
So I got to have my first conversation in real life in French.
38
So, guys, I changed some money from United States dollars to Canadian dollars.
39
I'm going to show you those in a second.
40
But, at the airport, they have this little desk where you can give them your money and they give you back the money of the country that you're in.
41
You guys know that they're in all the airports. But, we went there and she said hello, and I said, in French, can I practice my French with you? And then she said, yes.
42
And then she started.
43
La la la la She started talking really fast, but I understood and I think I did pretty good.
44
My wife was just sitting there like.
45
I think I did pretty good.
46
I was able to tell her what my phone number was, in French.
47
I told her where we were from, and it was.
48
It was pretty cool.
49
She asked me, and I'm going to take this as a huge compliment.
50
She asked me, where are you from?
51
Are you French or from the United States?
52
So I was like, yes, proud moment guys.
53
Anyway, let's take a look at this money.
54
It's pretty cool.
55
So this is a $50 bill or cinquant dollar Canadian.
56
And guys you can see through see me.
57
This money is not like the money in the United States.
58
In the United States, it's paper, but this feels like plastic.
59
And, it's really cool.
60
It doesn't smell like money because the Colombian money smells like United States money.
61
So it's paper money.
62
Paper money smells like money.
63
No matter where you're at.
64
But this is plastic, and it has no smell.
65
If you like, if you get wet this money, it doesn't like...
66
I think you could probably put this money in water and pull it out.
67
This is a $5 bill, and I'm going to keep this one for my son, because it has a little space man on it.
68
He'll think that's super cool. Okay.
69
And then this one my wife likes the best because she's feminista.
70
And there's this I like the purple color.
71
She likes the purple color. So she opens.
72
Hey, my mom likes purple too.
73
Maybe we'll bring her one.
74
And I guess that's the money.
75
Then when we got here, we came to our hotel, but the room was not ready yet, and we were hungry, so we had to try something.
76
That is the, most famous food in Montreal, which is poutine.
77
So we ate some poutine.
78
It was. Okay, guys, I'll be honest.
79
I wish I could say it was awesome, but I think it would be great if you were drunk.
80
If you were boracho.
81
I think it would be super good.
82
It's like a good food to go with beer and partying when you've been out all night.
83
But for just normal people walking around, it's very heavy, super heavy French fries, salsa and meat and a ton of cheese.
84
It was good, but very, very heavy. So we had some poutine.
85
Now we're going to take showers, chill out for a little bit.
86
I am tired already.
87
We only slept for a few hours last night, but there's a bookstore that's really close that has food, coffee and books and I want to buy a book in French, so we're going to do that.
88
I'll talk to you guys a little later.
89
Let me go get a shower, because I don't smell that good.
90
All right. Yes.
91
And today we find ourselves in Little Italy, in Montreal.
92
And this is a very famous market called Jean-Talon And it's incredible.
93
I wish we lived here. So we could buy our groceries here This store has got fresh oysters and fresh seafood.
94
I saw an organic meat store.
95
So we going to walk around to show you guys some of the good stuff.
96
Lets check it out It's incredible there is fresh ingredients everywhere.
97
Like organic stuff.
98
It's just not places like this where we live.
99
And this is, like, old fashioned.
100
How humans are supposed to eat.
101
Yeah. Jesus.
102
Was a sign that apple was.
103
All right, guys, we got a sausage sandwich with mustard and some sauerkraut and a sausage that has bacon and cheese It is delicious my wife's going to love it.
104
And, yeah, I ordered it all in French.
105
Super happy about that.
106
The lady was very sweet with me and she spoke a little slow.
107
People are nice here.
108
I think you guys.
109
It's like eating ham with pizza, but it's apple.
110
I've never had anything like this.
111
Right? Now we are in in Chinatown in Montreal.
112
looking for something to eat Hey, guys.
113
We've been walking around Montreal all day.
114
We're tired, but we've done so many cool things.
115
Hope you guys have enjoyed seeing some of the cool stuff we did.
116
I didn't show you guys this cool book I got in French.
117
That was one of my goals on my checklist was to find a book in French.
118
And I got this one because it's not too big, and I already basically know what it's about.
119
It's, a guy named Eckhart Tolle.
120
It's like a, spiritual thing.
121
which is the power of now in English.
122
And it's about being mindful.
123
So I really like stuff like this.
124
So we got this.
125
This is going to help me with my French because because being here has really motivated me to get better.
126
So we can go to other places where they speak French. And we've already had some cool experiences, you know, just chatting with people.
127
A sweet old lady earlier today was really nice to us.
128
And, some girl told me I look like I was 21.
129
I told her I was 33 and she said, no, you look like you're 21.
130
I was like, stop just kidding, guys, my wife's making faces now.
131
But we were in, Little Italy and we got something called a cannoli.
132
So we got two desserts But my wife, she ate hers earlier, so this one's mine.
133
Do you guys know what a cannoli is?
134
Let me show you. This looks so good.
135
We've been walking all day, so I don't have to feel like going to the.
136
So, guys, this is a cannoli with pistachio.
137

142
Hey, guys, we are in Old Montreal.
143
Or in French.
144
We're trying to enjoy our last day here.
145
And the thing about this part of the city is the old architecture.
146
And they say it's a very European feeling city.
147
The way that the buildings are made.
148
And there's a lot of cool places around here.
149
We're by these old government buildings.
150
Maybe so. So we're going to show you guys some of the cool things we see.
151
I just want to tell you guys something super cool that we just did.
152
We met up for, French language meetup, and there was a group of maybe, like, ten people, and we were all just practice French.
153
We we played little board games, and it was super cool.
154
My poor little wife didn't understand much, but, I had a lot of fun.
155
And the people there were super cool because people who learn languages are cool.
156

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.
