Did you guys know that comprehensible input is four times more efficient than traditional learning methods?

In this video, you will learn how to describe places and views in English.

This video is part of my 3000 most common English words

series designed to help you understand up to 95 % of spoken English.

Cafe.

Pink.

Iced Americano.

Etiquette.

Modern.

Vertigo.

Shining.

Scan your face for it.

Razor wire.

Rusty landfill.

Excited.

Start the word count and let's go.

Right now we're heading to see the Petronas Twin Towers.

The topic for today is describing places and views.

So we'll go there, describe it, and I'll also give you guys tips on how you can describe your surroundings and things you see.

I'll be using very clear English and also me and Leon will be talking.

So you get to hear a native English conversation and also learn how to describe things in English, especially what you see.

So let's get started.

They have some pastries and also some meals here and also two bottled waters in the corner of this glass display.

Those are some signs showing the combos you can buy.

The combo comes with a drink and a sandwich.

What do you get?

Just a black iced coffee.

Black iced coffee?

Yeah.

How much was that?

$6 .90 $6 .90?

Not too bad.

So now I'm sitting down on this chair.

There are two small tables with four chairs all around.

This is a nice cafe.

It's pretty empty, but it is nice.

Those are display screens that show the menu and also advertise their current drinks.

That right there is also the menu.

Is this a popular cafe chain?

Yeah, I think this is one of the bigger ones in Malaysia, if not the biggest one.

Really?

Zeus coffee, yeah.

I've never seen Zeus coffee.

Yeah, I think they're only in Malaysia.

But obviously you can get Starbucks too.

Yeah.

And other coffee chains as well.

Yeah, I've never had, I've never seen Zeus coffee.

Oh, it's actually pretty good it's not super bitter what coffee

did you get i got a iced americano iced americano no sugar no milk

or anything just black just black coffee but it's medium roast

so it's not super bitter yeah i'm really not a coffee

guy i personally really do not like coffee i don't enjoy it

that much this is an escalator coffee review i don't like coffee so we'll see

good right bro let me know in the comments

if you guys drink coffee i personally never drink coffee i

don't like coffee it's just very bitter in my opinion

if you want to get my 3 000 most common english

words pdf to help you understand up to 95 of spoken english with real clear definitions

and examples organized by sephir level

and topic then check out the link in my description to

get it you guys can see we're going down into the

platform all of these doors are for women only women only

and same with that side

so we cannot go here unless are you a woman not now not now what does

that mean tomorrow depending on my mood yeah

so this is a woman only coach we're not going to stand there we're going to stand here instead

and usually the proper etiquette when you're at a train station is to always stand to the side.

You stand to the side so that you can let the people that are coming out of the train walk right here.

So they can walk straight out and then you stand to the side here and you wait your turn.

That is just proper etiquette.

Can you guys describe this MRT station for me?

Describe it.

This is an MRT station.

The MRT station is very clean and modern.

The MRT station feels very empty.

So those are three simple sentences you can use to describe almost anything.

What it is, what it looks like, so describe it, and then how it feels.

So this is an MRT station.

It looks clean and modern, and it feels very empty.

Three sentences, very simple, and that will make you sound a lot more fluent in English with those three sentences.

So look around your room right now and give me three sentences.

You can just say it to yourself or you can write them in the comments.

How would you describe your surroundings right now?

So our train has just arrived and we are now going to board the train.

Since there is almost no one coming out of the train, we'll stand right in front of the door

and get on once these two doors open

so this is an underground subway station it is very deep underground and there are many escalators as you can see clearly

and the The feeling this gives me is vertigo.

I also feel like this is just really cool, modern, and clean.

And it honestly feels like I'm in a super advanced country, which I am, just seeing how far these escalators come down into the ground,

just to have public transit for people, which is very cool.

But outside of this station, nearby are the Petronas Twin Towers.

So how would you describe this subway station?

Two words to describe this station would be massive because it feels like there's multiple levels.

I can see one, two, and three, but I say three levels, but look at how far they go down and how far it goes up.

So it feels massive.

And I feel like during peak time, it'll be busy, but right now it's quiet.

Yeah.

100

During rush hour, it will be busy.

101

But now let's head up all these escalators

102

and go outside all right okay look at like look at how far this escalator goes this is like high

103

and this one on my left hand side is broken by the looks of it

104

and they're repairing it right now and this is our third escalator so

105

if you're at the bottom how many escalators do you have

106

to take to get up to the top from the very bottom four four escalators

107

and these escalators are long two of them are like really long right yeah yeah they're very long

108

so you're deep underground for sure

109

so to my right you can see the patronus twin towers they are very tall

110

and uh shiny very tall

111

and shiny unfortunately it's kind of hard to see the twin towers

112

but once we get closer we'll be able to see them both like side by side

113

but right now it looks like one building right yeah kind

114

of does we're like parallel to them right yeah almost yeah

115

and uh it just feels like

116

so cool like I don't know how else I would describe it just feels cool

117

and surreal to see like huge towering buildings like you can't really tell the scale on video

118

but these buildings these are huge buildings I don't know I

119

always find it really cool being in the city center being

120

surrounded by all the skyscrapers I think it's like surreal

121

that people like built this crazy let's get closer get a better view this is a self -serve convenience store

122

and you have to like scan your face to enter the shop

123

so i guess if you steal anything they'll charge you oh dude honestly these look super good yeah

124

that looks handmade you know yeah tutti frutti

125

that one's tutti frutti that's strawberry this one is red velvet

126

cheese dude oh my gosh dude they're tempting me oh have

127

you seen these that's the chicken drumstick ice cream yo i want

128

that you should get

129

that first thing you eat today it's just a chicken drumstick ice cream i see

130

that all the time on tiktok and i always think i want to try

131

that so bad is that just like a cob of corn i think you're right sweet corn

132

or grilled corn yo i want to try this chocolate moist

133

some of the stuff looks like homemade it's kind of yeah it's really cool

134

but what i do want is a water

135

so yeah this is a self -serve convenience store it is automated

136

and self -serve and it feels futuristic

137

and it's more convenient than a regular convenience store facts though i think i don't know

138

if we're gonna come back here but i really want to try one of these

139

but i haven't eaten anything today

140

and i don't want to have something sweet right off the bat now i'm going to pay by tapping okay

141

so we were walking and i was walking on this side

142

and i did not notice that there is razor wire like right here

143

and i was thinking if you're walking like

144

if you look right here that's literally in the path

145

so you could just be walking and then slice your arm open

146

and probably get infected i feel like that's not really the safest thing i've seen

147

but no definitely not i mean because of the rust it's not

148

that sharp anymore but still that's yeah

149

so this is razor wire it looks rusty and old

150

and it feels unsafe to have right along the sidewalk feels unsafe

151

but i don't make the rules so let's just stay away from

152

that okay so we've been walking for a few minutes now we're surrounded by these skyscrapers

153

and high -rise apartments

154

and here it looks like they're clearing out this old building

155

i believe it was a hotel before you can see all of this scrap metal inside these big metal containers

156

and these people are working once these are full a truck will come

157

and take this away

158

and dump it in the landfill the landfill that's just where you dump all the garbage from a city

159

but uh let's keep going i could just see the tip of the patronus tower we're almost there

160

and we almost have a good view of it

161

so just a little bit more and we'll be able to see it

162

176

186

194

Facts.

195

How do you feel?

196

I'm honestly excited to eat these.

197

I know they're gonna be juicy and it's honestly really heavy

198

so it feels like it's quite a lot yeah it tastes

199

like a fried uh long tongue yeah exactly the the might be a similar similar dough

200

we're in the patronus tower now in the background you could hear the piano playing

201

203

but yeah they're the primary sponsor of the mercedes f1 team i did not know

that you could tell because they have the biggest logo on the side

205

if i had described this i would say this is surya mall it's kind of old

206

and not too busy

207

and i feel like there is a lot of history in

208

this mall since it's been here for a long time that's how i would describe this mall

209

but yeah how would you guys describe this mall look around

210

and make three sentences to describe this mall leave it in the comments

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.
