Shadowing Practice: English Lesson at the Hotel - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
When you travel, do you usually stay at a hotel or at a house?
2
For me, it all depends on the amenities.
3
By amenities, I mean if the hotel has a swimming pool,
4
gym, parking lot, kitchen, and so on.
5
In this video, you will learn vocabulary at a hotel in Las Vegas.
6
It's Vegas, baby!
7
That is the reception area or waiting area.
8
And that is the reception desk or reception counter.
9
Both are common names.
10
They're just variations.
11
This hotel has a moving walkway for you to move faster.
12
Now let's take a look at the lounge.
13
The lounge is an outdoor space where you can sit and relax on the couches.
14
Oh, and of course, there is a swimming pool for us to swim in.
15
Should I jump in?
16
On the count of three.
17
Three, two...
18
Now it's time to go to my hotel room.
19
Let's go!
20
When I open the door,
21
I can see the bedroom.
22
This is the bedroom with a double bed.
23
A double bed is a bed for two people.
24
And there is a bench.
25
This is a bench at the foot of the bed.
26
These are nightstands.
27
Yeah, these are nightstands.
28
And that thing over there is a smoke detector.
29
Smoke detectors are used to identify potential fire to set off an alarm in case there is fire at the hotel.
30
My room has a kitchen and that's my favorite part of the room because I can cook.
31
So there's a microwave, a stove,
32
there's a sink, a toaster for breakfast to make toast for breakfast,
33
a blender to make smoothies, and a coffee maker.
34
There's also a TV.
35
This is the kind of living room.
36
Yes, all the rooms here are open.
37
I mean, the rooms are not separated.
38
Usually people call this a studio or a studio suite.
39
A studio is when the bedroom,
40
the living room, and maybe the kitchen are all in the same room.
41
But when there is the bedroom plus the bathroom,
42
bedroom in the bathroom only,
43
that is called a standard bedroom or even standard suite.
44
Actually, you can choose according to what you prefer.
45
You can choose a studio or a standard bedroom according to your needs.
46
In this place, there is a couch,
47
a coffee table, an armchair,
48
and a window with this beautiful view of Las Vegas.
49
Now let's take a look at my favorite part, the bathroom.
50
So this is the bathroom with a bathtub.
51
Bathtub.
52
Well, this is actually a jacuzzi.
53
You can soak yourself in the bathtub after a long day of tourism.
54
Isn't it so cool?
55
That one is a shower.
56
Which one do you prefer?
57
A bathtub or a shower?
58
I would say a jacuzzi or a shower.
59
I guess I prefer the jacuzzi.
60
This bathroom has two sinks.
61
Yeah, two sinks and a lot of space to put your makeup and your toiletries.
62
By toiletries, I mean soap,
63
shampoo, and conditioner, and general things we use to clean our bodies.
64
Some hotels offer toiletries as complimentary items,
65
and by complimentary, I mean for free.
66
Also, some hotels provide room service,
67
which is basically when food and drinks are delivered to your room.
68
Some hotels provide laundry service,
69
so it's when the hotel washes and irons your clothes.
70
Or housekeeping, which is when the hotel is responsible for cleaning your room and changing the bedding.
71
But usually these services, laundry service,
72
room service, and housekeeping cost extra money.
73
So pay attention to the fees and taxes when booking an amazing hotel.
74
Now if you will excuse me,
75
I need to relax in my room.
76
Thank you so much for watching.
77
I hope you learned many new words.
78
And I love you guys.

80
Thank you.

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.
