1
Hi ma'am, could you take me a picture?
2
Okay.
3
Ah, what are you doing?
4
Just take me a picture here.
5
Oh, you want me to take a picture of you?
6
Yeah, take a picture of me, please.
7
In the down position.
8
Down position?
9
Oh, I think you mean a landscape or a horizontal picture.
10
Yeah, a horizontal picture.
11
Done!
12
Thank you very much!
13
Hi everyone and welcome to my YouTube channel.
14
I'm Giovanna and I teach English in a creative way.
15
Today I'm on vacation in Italy
16
and I'm going to teach you common phrases to use and mistakes to avoid while on trips.
17
Let's get started!
18
Excuse me, where do I find buses?
19
In terminals?
20
Huh?
21
The question where do I find buses sounds strange in English,
22
because you use the present simple do.
23
It feels like you're talking about something permanent,
24
like a fact in a book.
25
When asking for directions, it's more natural to say where can I find buses?
26
Oh, so where can I find buses?
27
There's a bus stop right in front of the church over there.
28
The bus comes every 30 minutes.
29
Hey, your shoes are untied.
30
What did you say?
31
Don't say that.
32
You sound rude.
33
Saying what did you say to someone could sound like you're angry about what they said.
34
To sound more polite when you can't hear or understand someone,
35
say, Sorry, I couldn't hear you.
36
Could you repeat that?
37
Sorry, could you say that again?
38
You can also use what or huh without sounding rude,
39
as long as you say them softly and with a confused look.
40
What?
41
Huh?
42
Oh, sorry, could you say that again?
43
Sure, I said your shoes are untied!
44
Too late!
45
A few important phrases when helping someone are...
46
Your shoes are untied.
47
Your shoes are untied.
48
Your fly is down.
49
Your fly is down.
50
Or, your fly is undone.
51
Your fly is undone.
52
You have a button undone.
53
Or, hey, Hey, I think you missed a button.
54
Hey, I think you missed a button.
55
If my tips so far have been useful,
56
give this video a like.
57
Hey, you dropped something on the floor.
58
When?
59
Now.
60
Look, it's on the floor.
61
Oh, on the ground.
62
I dropped my coin pouch on the ground.
63
For anything we walk on outside.
64
outdoors.
65
We say ground.
66
This is the ground.
67
The surface you walk on inside a building.
68
Inside is called floor.
69
Oh, that's important.
70
Excuse me, which side is downtown?
71
Side?
72
You mean way?
73
Yeah, which way is downtown?
74
This way, use way to ask the direction you should go.
75
For example, north or south.
76
So way is the direction you go to get somewhere,
77
but side is more like where something is on the map.
78
Downtown is on the north side of the city,
79
but the way to get there is to go west from here.
80
Okay, cool.
81
Is there a train to downtown?
82
You don't need to use to in this question.
83
We don't use to with the word downtown.
84
The word downtown already acts like a direction,
85
so you don't use to before it.
86
You can also say I'm going downtown.
87
Let's go downtown tonight.
88
There is a concert downtown tomorrow and so on.
89
Oh, so is there a train that goes downtown?
90
Yes, there are many trains that go downtown
91
but the station is a bit far from here um i think i'm going to walk
92
that way i can enjoy the the architecture we use this word
93
when we are appreciating buildings structures or the style of a city the architecture I wonder what my next mistake will be.
94
I need to speak English everywhere I go,
95
but I'm scared of making silly mistakes.
96
Hey, everyone who knows the language had to learn it from the beginning.
97
When you and I were babies,
98
we had to learn how to communicate.
99
We made silly mistakes and our parents corrected us.
100
It's all a normal process.
101
But we're not babies anymore.
102
We're young adults.
103
That's right.
104
We don't learn the same way babies do.
105
To really learn English, we need a focused method,
106
real-time feedback, and clear progress tracking, and conversation.
107
We need to talk, talk.
108
Absolutely.
109
We need conversation and immersion in real dialogue.
110
I'm visiting Italy.
111
Actually, I'm visiting Milan in Italy.
112
Great.
113
It's a perfect use of the present continuous tense.
114
But with someone who corrects me in an okay way,
115
not rude, in a smooth way,
116
the Lerna AI app matches all your needs then.
117
The avatar corrects you in a smooth way and knows exactly what you need to improve.
118
So that avatar is your secret?
119
That's how you speak so good?
120
Speak so well?
121
Yeah, thanks.
122
I've been learning and practicing my English every day with Learna AI.
123
Really?
124
Yeah, instead of memorizing words,
125

128
Hey, is this water...
129
Sorry, is this water clean?
130
Yeah, it's transparent.
131
No, can I drink this water?
132
Oh, you mean is this water safe to drink or is it drinkable?
133
When talking about food, you can use the words fresh,
134
safe to eat, safe to drink, drinkable or edible.
135
Say fresh for bread or produce,
136
like is the bread fresh?
137
Are the tomatoes fresh?
138
Say drinkable or safe to drink for safe liquid and edible
139
or safe to eat for safe food oh is it drinkable yeah i guess thank you
140
but i think i won't drink this water i'll drink a
141
bottle you mean bottled water that's great you decide what you want to drink there's bottled water
142
which is sold in bottles and tap water which is the water from the faucet
143
Sorry to bother you, how long does it take to get to the mall?
144
By foot.
145
On foot?
146
Yeah, on foot.
147
Remember that we use the preposition on to say on foot.
148
For most other means of transportation, we use by.
149
For example, by car, by bus,
150
by train, by bike and by horse.
151
Do I have to follow this street?
152
Yeah, you can walk down this street.
153
We often say walk down the street when we follow the street in its direction.
154
Keep going straight along this street and turn right when you see a museum.
155
Thank you so much again.
156
Italy is gorgeous.

Grammatica in deze video
De structuren die de spreker het meest gebruikt, met de exacte woorden uit de video:
| Structuur | In de video |
|---|---|
| Lijdende vorm be + voltooid deelwoord — het gaat om wat er gebeurt, niet om wie het doet | are untied · is undone · is called |
| Betrekkelijke bijzinnen who / which + zin — extra informatie over een persoon of ding | everyone who knows · someone who corrects · water which is |
Uitspraak om op te letten
De spreker gebruikt 22 samentrekkingen en verkorte vormen, zoals I'm, don't, we're. Spreek ze kort uit, zoals je ze hoort.
- De klanken “sh” en “zh”: immersion /ɪˈmɝʒən/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/
- Lange woorden — let op de klemtoon: horizontal /ˌhoɹəˈzɑn.təl/, preposition /ˌpɹɛpəˈzɪʃən/
Klanken die Nederlandstaligen lastig vinden:
- Stemhebbende eindmedeklinker — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ niet verscherpen: memorize /ˈmɛm.əˌɹaɪ̯z/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/
- /æ/ — opener dan de Nederlandse “e”: avatar /ˌæv.əˈtɑː(ɹ)/, transparent /tɹænsˈpæɹənt/
Zo oefen je met deze video
- Luister de hele video één keer zonder te spreken en noteer de woorden die je niet kent.
- Spreek zin voor zin na op normale snelheid en herhaal elke zin tot je ritme gelijk is aan dat van de spreker.
- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als drinkable, untie, undo.
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.
