because i'm arriving keto at 3 a.m which is very early

so i want to sleep so now it's 3 a.m i got to keto

So I got to sleep for three more hours. So that's good.

Now I'm going to have a shower,

brush my teeth, wash my face, wash my hair.

And I slept in this room alone.

all the historical stuff learning new words as we're doing it walking around the city going up to the church

and all the stuff and these are the words you're going to learn today

so make sure you guys stick around to the very end

to learn all of them this is a place i stayed

at last night is a hostel why yunca there's like a lot different floors

but today is nice

and sunny out yesterday was raining in cuenca today in quito

it's sunny i got here 3 a.m it's like 8 20 a.m now

but this part's done and this part's done

when i came here 3 a.m on the bus my bus

came here at 3 a.m i was planning to come to

this hostel the secret garden it was nice i've stayed here before

that one the secret garden didn't let me in even though it's a 24-hour reception

so i came here why yunga there was a like a really nice old lady she answered the door

she was super tight i think i woke her up i feel bad

but i didn't really want to be outside of the the

city like at 3 a.m in south america just alone with all my my camera

and everything my backpack all my clothes and everything i have

so she let me in let me stay there i paid for a bed in the hostel

so i got a room and i slept there

and it was really good place i checked out i left my backpack there

so i could go exploring a little bit okay

so now i'm in the historical center

and you could call this area a patio or a courtyard

so this week in quito is holy week

so you could see there's a parade here all these people

here are walking in a parade this is called a parade

and it is a religious parade

and here you can see a lot of people dressed in

purple robes purple robes these guys have their t-shirts off

and you see a lot of people are holding umbrellas for

the sun to not burn themselves here you have a guy dressed up as dr octopus from the movie spider-man

and he's meeting spider-man right there

and here's just a big crowd of people you can see i'm walking through the crowd

and there's just a lot of people it's crowded

and here is a show going on these people are acting they're performing in a show to get donations

and money from people

so you can see these two guys are acting the show

was very very funny i enjoyed it here i'm eating lunch this is noodles

and rice okay

so we are in line waiting to go up in a

gondola up to the very top of the mountain here in

quito here you call this thing a gondola the place where people are sitting in it's a gondola

and they are going up the mountain right now up the

mountain in the gondola you could also call this a cable car

or a gondola there's two different names for that

but they are both correct to call them

and here you can see i'm waiting in line this line was pretty long to go up the gondola

but now i'm at the very top

and you can see a mountain in the very distance this

is a mountain with snow on top a snow peak mountain

you can see the whole city from here all the mountains in the background

and the gondola people going up the gondola

this is like a cafe on top of the mountain these

are some souvenirs you could buy a little bit expensive 15

there you go outside table four chairs this is a tray okay so this is a volcano

it's called cotopaxi and it is an active volcano so

that means it can still erupt

and it's one of the biggest in the world the highest in the world

so now we are going back down in the gondola here

you can see it's moving very fast down the hill we are in the gondola

or in the cable cart this is a line of people to go up the cable cart we came early

so we did not have to wait in the line Now I'm going back down in the city.

I'm in an Uber or a taxi right now driving down to go eat.

So what I decided to eat was pizza.

This is Pizza Hut and I love Hawaiian pizza.

Good morning guys.

We're here.

I'm walking to the supermarket right now because I need to buy some things.

Walking on the sidewalk.

The sidewalk is very cracked.

Cracked all of these.

It's a cracked sidewalk.

But we're going to the grocery store now.

100

I need to buy a couple of things.

101

And then after that i need to buy new pants

102

so we're gonna buy pants and new shoes three three missions today we have to complete

103

so that's gonna be going to the mall and you can see in the park and stuff so

104

let's go this is this grocery store we're going in it's called super maxi it's like a grocery store

105

the bigger ones you call supermarkets so these are all flowers these are like bouquets of flowers

106

and these specific flowers are red roses pink roses pink roses orange roses flowers

107

So you can see there's a lot of products on the shelves.

108

These are all products like bottles.

109

This is barbecue sauces, but these are all products that you put on the shelves.

110

So these are shelves.

111

Shelf, shelf, shelf.

112

And right now I'm in aisle number five.

113

So aisle number five.

114

Every grocery store layout is pretty typical like this.

115

Divide it into aisles with the similar products.

116

this specific aisle is like salsas and dry noodles

117

and this this is my favorite ketchup I love ketchup

118

and this is the wine area people love wine

119

so there's a lot of wine here white wine red wine rose wine okay

120

so I was gonna buy toothpaste

121

but I realized you have to take your bag off

122

when you go into the like stores like this you have to put it in a locker

123

because you can't have a bag with you

124

and I forgot I left my wallet in my bag

125

so I needed to go to the mall anyway so

126

when I go to the mall I'll just buy my toothpaste there instead

127

so now I'm walking to the bus stop this is a apartment building

128

so people live here it's an apartment these are power cables like lines I need to go buy my pants

129

and I still need to buy shoes

130

so we got three things we got we got to do

131

so let's try to do it all today this is a

132

mural we learned this the other video a mural it's not graffiti

133

but a mural instead this is a white car a white truck this is a white pickup truck

134

and it has four doors now i'm at the bus stop

135

this is the bus stop the bus comes on this side

136

and this side depending on what side you want to get on

137

so these are the doors to the bus stop

138

and you just wait on this platform over there is the

139

sidewalk that's the normal road this is just for buses this

140

road this will take us where i need to go okay so i'm in the bus now

141

I got off at the wrong stop.

142

So I had to walk an extra five minutes.

143

I was supposed to get off at this stop,

144

but I got off one stop too early.

145

So now I'll just have to walk a little bit to the mall.

146

This is the mall.

147

I think this is one of the bigger malls in Quito.

148

And this is hopefully where we buy all our stuff.

149

This is like a huge huge sidewalk you would call it.

150

In the middle you have,

151

I'm pretty sure these are,

152

I might be wrong correct me,

153

palm trees or coconut trees or something.

154

And you have the mountains in the background.

155

Big mall here.

156

So now we're going to go in.

157

These are apartment buildings over here.

158

apartments.

159

Okay so now I'm in H&M clothing store.

160

So you can see all this clothes, t-shirts.

161

Here you have belts.

162

These are button-up shirts but they're short sleeves.

163

The sleeves are short.

164

These are long sleeve.

165

This is more like a dress shirt,

166

a long sleeve button-up shirt.

167

H&M is like a really popular, it's called fast fashion.

168

It's like Zara H&M.

169

Uniqlo, fast fashion.

170

So that just means they make clothes a lot faster

171

and the quality is not as good but that makes the clothes cheaper to buy.

172

Fast fashion.

173

Again these are mannequins.

174

Mannequins with a shirt on and pants.

175

More mannequins.

176

Okay so I'm done at H&M.

177

I didn't really want to buy anything from H&M.

178

I want to go to a store called Berkshire but I don't know where it is.

179

This is where we were just in.

180

H&M.

181

The Zara store.

182

Not really my style Zara.

183

I think Zara owns Berkshire,

184

which is this store right here.

185

Berkshire.

186

I think they own it and I prefer the styles they have here a lot more.

187

In my opinion it looks better.

188

Okay, let's try on this pants.

189

New pants.

190

Try it on now.

191

Putting it on.

192

Okay so I just tried on these pants.

193

These are the pants.

194

Okay so this place I'm in is called a dressing room or a change room.

195

You try on clothes.

196

So I tried on this pants in the dressing room,

197

in the change room.

198

I tried it on.

199

So you come here to try on pants to see if it fits.

200

See if you need a different size.

201

See if you like the way it looks on you.

202

So that's what a change room is used for.

203

A change room.

204

Dressing room.

205

Okay, so now we're in a toy store.

206

These are all teddy bears.

207

These are called teddy bears.

208

More teddy bears.

209

And the store is like a really, really big store.

210

And they sell a lot of toys.

211

These are all toys.

212

It's mostly for children, this store.

213

But it's cool to walk through

214

and see all these toys like it's a massive store like

215

very big kids toy store kids toy store these are all called dolls

216

dolls dolls dolls a lot of dolls

217

218

and babies to have a doll okay this is a crosswalk

219

220

and now crosswalk so up here is another crosswalk it's in between like the road

221

now we're at the biggest park in the city it's called

222

224

227

228

229

This is a hedge that's on the side here.

230

You have the grass, the trees,

231

some trees are taller than the others.

232

This is like a mini soccer field.

233

Yeah so these kids are playing soccer or I guess football you call it here.

234

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.
