Um, but anyway, I think we're now.

Recently, it has been raining.

This is our room.

And they're popping, so obviously...

Hi, and welcome to another vlog for English learners.

Today, we are on Vancouver Island um we're here on vacation actually

but we have just woken up in this hotel

and it's about half nine in the morning

so the plan is to get a coffee

and we're going to be hiking quite a bit today

and going to see some waterfalls anyway this car park is pretty boring

so let's go we will get started on the drive and first stop is to get some coffee.

We just arrived at this really really cute little farm called Little Qualicum Cheese Works

so the plan is to grab a coffee and see the animals

and then carry on down the road but it's so cute it's

It's so cute here.

A rainbow, a huge rainbow.

A palm cat!

Meow!

Oh, baby cows!

Hello!

They're a little bit younger these ones are like so young look look look Javier they're so like curious

They're like teeth like are not strong at all so

if you like you can let them look

you can let it nibble oh you can let it nibble on you

and it's fine why do they do that

because they're like suckling oh sorry you don't mind it when it's just my you're very friendly oh ow

the farm here uses all of their own milk in their coffee

so obviously i had to get an iced caramel latte salted caramel cheers oh my god that's

so good try it with caramel taste it i'm drinking ice cream

we also bought a few more things um i got this hot pepper jelly golf island gourmet hot pepper jelly

because i thought this would be good with cheese

which is obviously what they kind of specialize in here

so we bought this small cheese sample box with a few different cheeses we'll try this later

and finally as a gift for my brother for Christmas so

if my brother is watching I don't know why you would be watching

because you speak English but if my brother is watching don't look

but I bought some maple syrup like this fancy maple syrup for my brother he he loves cooking

so this is for my brother for Christmas

so we just arrived at little qualicum falls

and we're in this forest it's amazing

and look here are the steps behind me today we are going to tofino

which is a little village on the west coast of vancouver island

and we started in parksville which is on the east

so right now we're driving all the way across

and we have a few stops um along the way like we've found interesting things to go

and have a look at as we drive we're now going to go and see the waterfalls

and the path here in the forest is uh amazing

you can see it behind me it's very very cool anyway

so we're gonna head to the waterfall now i think

you can see it through the trees there is the waterfall so we're going to continue down this path here

there's a there's a little sign i can show you right now we are going to go

and see this waterfall here and then later we'll go up to the upper waterfall as well oh my god

wow the waterfall here is amazing i'm gonna show you but look at this

the water is so loud so i don't know

if you can hear me recently it has been raining a lot

there has been a lot a lot a lot of rain the river is really really strong look at the current

so the current is like the flow right the flow of water it's amazing

so there are more waterfalls up this path

so we're gonna head there now we need to go this way I think through the forest

this is the upper falls I don't know if you can hear me

but it is amazing the water is so powerful so there's one waterfall here and one here

that is incredible we are now going back to the car

and we have another waterfall to go and see called hole in the wall

but we're walking back over this super cute little bridge so

we are now at well like a ghost we're now at the second waterfall location

which is called hole in the wall

and it's this way you can see the sign with the ribbons

it's not really like a proper path it does look like twilight we definitely went the wrong way

so we came down this there were there were two paths basically

and we went left and I think we probably should have gone right

because this is right let me show you I think this was that this is the proper path

We're now here by the hole in the wall it's crazy cool you can see it's literally like a waterfall

coming from this big this big circle you can climb along these trees like a like a bridge

Javier did it but I'm not brave enough

so we have two plans now right next to where we are there is a candy

and ice cream shop I think it's called Coombs candy shop

and creamery so we're gonna go and check

that out we're also going to have lunch

and we're either going to go to a supermarket

and like buy lunch or we will go to like a diner but now we need to go back up

This is a very, very, very steep hill.

I'm going to put my put my camera away.

We're now here at a drive -in.

In the UK we have drive -throughs

which is like where you drive like past the restaurant to get food

but a drive in you literally park the the waitress came over to us

and took our order in the car

and then yeah we'll get our food in a in a moment

and I think they even give us a like a little tray we've ordered two veggie burgers spicy fries

and onion rings and i have a pepsi

so we're just waiting for it now and um i'm excited it's super cute

onion rings look so good maybe we could put everything on the dash

holy shit they're really good i'm sorry but

if you like good food

you have to live like in a small place like the best food is not in the city literally

that is peng i'm gonna show the camera

and then i'm gonna we just finished lunch um it was

so good it was

100

so good especially the onion rings were amazing we are now going to drive to tofino

101

which is where we're staying for the next couple of nights i think it's like an hour away

102

or maybe an hour and a half

103

so we're gonna start the drive

104

we have

105

just checked in to our hotel literally look it's amazing

106

and um i wanted to show you because it's

107

so beautiful we are staying at the duffin cove hotel and it's right by the sea i can show you here

108

isn't that amazing anyway but we can go inside

109

and i can give you like a bit of a room tour so let's go

110

this is our room you can see Javier's feet on the balcony this is the this is the bed

111

and it has this amazing wooden roof like a wooden um not roof a wooden ceiling it's

112

so beautiful there's a big tv right here

113

and then this small like little coffee area

114

and somewhere to hang your clothes

115

so these are clothes hangers like a clothes hanger this is

116

so cute this comes with but it's um it's not complimentary

117

so it's not like free it stays here they then have this little coffee machine this is

118

so cute with a couple little coffee pods so

119

that will be nice for the morning coffee some sugar

120

I guess this is sweetener then down below we have a couple different glasses

121

and some mugs then a little fridge

122

which is empty there's nothing in there they then have a tiny little safe down here.

123

And I'll show you the bathroom.

124

This is me.

125

So it has these really pretty lights hanging down from the ceiling.

126

Here's the toilet, these little towels.

127

That's cute.

128

When you have two sinks like this side by side, we call them his and hers.

129

His and hers sinks

130

with lotion and soap just to the side we have this amazing shower it does have a window

131

but you can't see out of it which is I guess for privacy

132

and then you get body wash conditioner

133

and shampoo here as well anyway I think the the best part about this hotel

134

and the reason why I chose it is because of the view

135

so this hotel is right next to the sea

136

so let me show you the balcony so you head out of the balcony doors and that is the view

137

and you can see the island over here it's just gorgeous

138

it has been it's been quite rainy here these last few days

139

and now as you can see it's so beautiful and so sunny.

140

So the plan is we are going to go into the village

141

and we're going to explore Tofino a little bit

142

and we're going to try and watch the sunset from somewhere and grab some dinner.

143

um we have not decided which restaurant we will go to yet

144

and we might get a drink as well I don't know everything is still up for grabs

145

so we'll probably head into town to do

146

that we we do have some things planned for tomorrow already we're going to do some hiking

147

and probably check out another town which is nearby I'm not going to be filming

148

that in this vlog um it's going to be all up on my school probably

149

so it will be like a school exclusive video so

150

if you liked this and you would like more content like this please check out my online school Evie's English Club.

151

I will link it down in the description

152

but I have loads of videos over there

153

and I add new videos every single week there are live events

154

I upload extra podcast episodes extra vlogs we also have some more structured classes

155

so I teach grammar classes over there I have like an intermediate to advanced grammar series

156

so if that is something that is interesting to you please go

157

and check that out as well

158

but anyway I think for now I'm maybe going to sit down chill try

159

and think of some plans for this evening

160

and um i'll keep you updated but i just think this is pretty amazing

161

we just went to a bar and got a drink

162

and now we're sat out on our balcony it's so dark

163

so you can't see anything but you can hear the sea we ordered a pizza oh

164

that looks so good we ordered a pizza to share

165

and we're gonna just sit outside and eat the pizza

166

and try the cheese that we bought

167

and honestly i think this is the end of the video for today

168

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.
