28
But you can see I'm cleanly shaven and now I'm going to get dressed.
29
I'm going to put clothes on.
30
So help me choose an outfit for today.
31
So this is my closet.
32
I don't think I'll wear anything from here

34
and you can see this is a dress shirt these are
35
long pants this is a rain jacket this is a hoodie
36
and this is a zip up hoodie i will not be wearing anything from here
37
but my boxers and socks are in here so i'll grab a pair

51
Now I'm gonna put sunscreen on.
52
This is my sunscreen but before that I'm gonna put on some cologne just

some on my middle finger my middle finger let me put it on my forehead nose cheeks,
59
chin, and let me dab it to make sure I spread it evenly across my whole face.
60
Now I'm going to rub it in.
61
I'm rubbing the sunscreen into my skin because I really don't want to burn.
62
And I have very sensitive skin.
63
You can see it made my skin red.
64
Now I'm going to put a little bit more on my finger, put it on my neck, just like this.
65
So you can see I've just put sunscreen on my whole face, blended in quite nicely and now I think I'm ready to go out.
66
But I'll have a drink of water first since I'm quite thirsty.
67
It's important to drink water in the morning.

This is a coffee table that is a couch or sofa.
74
Those are pillows but I have my laundry in here
75
so I'm going to take it out now
76
and go fold it before I head out so you can see my pile of clothes is on the bed now
77
and here we have my crossbody bag
78
and i'll be putting these things in my crossbody bag
79
but first i'm going to fold my laundry you can see
80
it's quite wrinkly since i did this laundry last night i dried it last night
81
but i did not fold it last night
82
and i'm only folding it now this right here is a long sleeve t -shirt
83

84
but this is a long sleeve shirt you can see it the sleeves are long
85
and i'm folding it this right here is a bandana a
86
bandana i do like wearing bandanas now someone recently showed me how to tie them properly
87
so now i like wearing them this right here is a
88
button -up shirt it's nothing fancy it's just a casual cotton
89
button -up shirt now i'm gonna fold this shirt usually you would hang it up
90
but I just fold it since I don't have a lot of hangers this is a pair of my shorts
91
this is my gym t -shirt I wear this in the gym
92
and the last few items are just some more t -shirts
93
and also some socks but I think now I'm going to pack my crossbody bag
94
and then we'll head out this right here is my umbrella this is my lip chap
95
and it also has SPF protection
96
so it protects my lips from the sun this is my wallet these are my microphones
97
and these are my earbuds and i'll put all of
98
that in my crossbody bag
99
and head out now we're here with leon where are we
100
going we're gonna go on the water bus water bus yeah it's one of the unique forms of transportation here in
101
saigon anyway yeah we're gonna go to the water bus there is one close to us
102
so we're gonna go there
103
and get a ticket the timing for the buses is every hour
104
but it's not exactly like nine or ten it's uh kind of iffy
105
so we're just gonna get a ticket i know there's a coffee shop right across the street
106
and there's also the a big market across the street
107
that we can go look at so we're gonna head
108
that way and first get our ticket yeah
109
so what leon said we're gonna head out now gonna go exploring a bit get the water bus
110
or ferry and uh yeah it'll be the old style vlog
111
so hopefully you guys enjoy it i'll be holding the camera
112
talking about everything pointing to things leon right now is taking the trash bag out of the trash can
113
and he's gonna tie it up because when we go down we're gonna throw
114
that out and also that brown paper bag
115
so you can see he has a trash in his hand now there are new trash bags up there
116
so now he's going to replace the trash bag in this
117
trash bin the trash bag is black it's also not very big it is kind of small
118
so you can see that trash is full
119
but yeah i think these are biodegradable too they feel like
120
that yeah they do feel a little flimsy i'm gonna put
121
the lid back on this helps keep the odor inside the trash bin
122
so now we're ready we're gonna go out our door
123
but first we're gonna put our shoes on this right here is our shoe closet
124
so you can see we have all our shoes here i
125
didn't even notice leon was trying to put on my shoes
126
but he's putting on his uh shoes running shoes
127
and then we'll head out
128
and here is our water you can see this is my water that's leon's water
129
and i drink more water than him
130
but he also does drink the water from the fridge
131
which i don't drink as much yeah but let's head out now do some exploring and we'll see you guys outside.
132
3000 that is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95 % of spoken English.
133
That is why I made the 3000 most common English words textbook with clear definitions,
134
real example sentences and simple organization by topic and CEFR level so you know exactly what to study next.
135
And now if you want to learn even more I've added the next 2 ,000 most common English words,
136
so you can get the full 5 ,000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98 % of spoken English.
137

You can get it at the link in my description or at volcaenglish .com.
139
Okay, so Leon's getting on his bike now.
140
so now we're heading to the ferry on the back of the grab bike
141
and we're going through these alleyways okay guys
142
so i just got off the grab bike
143
and now we're at the ferry area leon beat me here
144
you got here first eh yeah this is where we buy our tickets right right there right here
145
that is loud that thing is loud anyway we're in the sun right now
146
so let's go into the shade and buy these tickets at the ticket booth
147
so this is the route we're uh we're gonna take we're right here
148
and i think we should go up and then go all the way down
149
so the tickets are 15 000 for one way
150
so no matter where you start one direction is 15 000 the other direction
151
so i guess we have to get off at the end
152
right yeah we get off there we buy tickets to go the other way
153
and then these are the times this right here is the
154
timetable you see departure timetable gives you the schedule for all the departures okay guys
155
so we just bought our tickets unfortunately we can't go today
156
because there's no more tickets for the next one and
157
if we wait it'll be a really long wait like three hours
158
so we're gonna go tomorrow morning at 9 a .m you can see 8 57
159
and then we'll come back at 9 45
160
but these are our tickets we have purchased our tickets for tomorrow morning
161
so right now it's a little windy you can see the wind is blowing my hair back
162
but we're gonna go do some other stuff i think Low -key, low -key, let's go get that Korean food, which one we had the other day But we got the soy sauce one
163
and we're gonna go get Korean food We have to change
164
plants today stuff didn't work out change of plants change of
165
scenery change of everything We still have a plan food when in doubt food, but anyways right now we are standing in the shade here
166
next to the river I'm not sure what this river is called the Saigon River Saigon River.
167
No, let me fact check that Actually, it is the Saigon River Song Saigon in Vietnamese Song Saigon This is where we're at.
168
Honestly, it's a really nice view.
169
So let's have a shadowing segment right here.
170
I am standing by a wide river in a busy city, looking across the water at tall buildings under a bright, cloudy sky.
171
The river moves slowly in front of me, and small green plants float on the surface.
172
A shiny metal railing is close to me, and beyond it, a yellow floating platform sits quietly on the water.
173
On the left, a bridge crosses the river, carrying people and traffic through the city.
174
In the distance, a very tall glass tower rises above the other buildings.
175
It looks modern, strong, and impressive.
176
The buildings around it are close together, showing that this is a lively and growing city.
177
The sky is full of big white and grey clouds, but there is still sunlight in the scene.
178
The light reflects softly on the water
179
and on the metal railing everything feels calm near the river
180
while the city across feels active
181
and full of energy wow the view is beautiful i can
182
imagine standing here for a few minutes breathing slowly watching the river
183
and listening to the sounds of the city it is a
184
peaceful place to look at a busy skyline i know you guys really like those shadowing segments
185
so i'm going to try to include two in every video
186
we'll include one at the very end of the video that's how we'll end the video off
187
so make sure you watch till the end of the video
188
but for now i think let's walk around
189
or sorry walk along the river here and just really enjoy today
190
because it has been raining a bit lately since i believe it is entering rainy season
191
so it's been raining more than usual right yeah well i guess probably normal for rainy season
192
but yeah yeah so i probably wrong to say more than usual
193
because it's probably normal i've just never been in this city during rainy season so for me it feels more than usual.
194
Across from me, you can see they are constructing something there.
195
I think it's some sort of building.
196
It's probably not like anything residential.
197
It's most likely something for like the community and for the public since it's on the river.
198
But yeah, you can see this river stretches far, far, far and wide, far and wide.
199
And there are a lot of plants floating on the river too.
200
And it is a really calm river.
201
I feel like I could jump in there and I'll be completely fine
202
but there might be like river monsters oh question for you guys have you guys ever watched
203
that show river monsters jeremy wade river monsters i actually love
204
that show loki play that let's go watch that there's something here
205
which looks like a rock no but in all seriousness
206
that is actually a really good show if you guys need like
207
or want like interesting native english content to watch river monsters
208
by jeremy wade is a recommendation for me that's really good also anthony bourdain That's really good.
209
I put Leon on that he never knew about that
210
and I put him on That just means you showed someone something or you introduced something to someone.
211
So I put Leon on Yeah, so right now we're at Cao Dien Market You can see people are selling a lot of different products.
212
Loki, we should check the price of - Actually, I could use some scissors Do we have scissors?
213
I have little ones, but I need sharp ones.
214
Oh, here they have masks Dude, this really reminds me of markets in South America.
215
Very similar.
216
Yeah, dude they sell a lot of masks here i guess
217
it's more for the sun than it is for well it's like pollution too like
218
if you're like riding your scooter down you don't want all that exhaust smoke in your face, right?
219
Exactly.
220
You want to block that off.
221
Exactly.
222
You're right.
223
This guy is beating meat to make it more tender.
224
Meat market, vegetables here.
225
I like the vibe of this market.
226
These are butchers right here.
227
I believe that's beef and I believe this is pork since it's lighter.
228
The color of this meat is lighter.
229
This looks like the seafood area.
230
So you have squid, octopus, fish bro.
231
Look at that one.
232
That looks like a river moxie.
233
That looks like a on it that looks like a sturgeon yeah isn't
234
that illegal to catch no i thought they were
235
they're going uh extinct
236
because people get them in there too i wonder where they're
237
getting salmon from yeah probably everywhere let's go out of the
238
market now that's actually really cool it really reminds me of
239
markets in south america they got a lot of fruit out
240
here too yeah loki i need to buy some bananas maybe i'll go buy some of those okay
241
so we have bananas here yeah i think i'm gonna buy
242
these ones these look kind of good oh yes I'm gonna
243
buy some bananas probably 30k worth I'll just ask for however much 30k worth of bananas is
244
but they have different kinds of bananas they have different sizes
245
and different varieties of bananas but I'll get these ones okay
246
so I just bought 40 ,000 Vietnamese dong worth of bananas
247
or two Canadian dollars Leon said
248
that this drink is really good what is it it's like juice
249
and then they put a bunch of different toppings inside of it oh no dude nah i don't like
250
that type of stuff i would like a banana smoothie though
251
they make banana smoothies there do they nope i would have
252
bought one immediately there's a big mirror here this mirror is
253
used to see the traffic coming from the other side
254
but it's warped you can see it's warped here and here
255
but now we're going to the family mart this is a huge family mart
256
because we are we are one big family mart
257
and it looks like they're delivering some products to the family mart now i'm in the drinks section
258
and i think i'm gonna get a coke zero
259
but i'm not sure i'm wondering and contemplating whether i should get
260
that or something else
261
because there are a lot of flavors seven up this is such a nostalgic drink for me
262
because i used to drink this a lot
263
when i was growing up in canada it was very very popular sprite not as much
264
but seven up yes what is something you loved drinking
265
when you were younger let me know in the comments okay guys we have just left the family mart
266

267
so leon is now going to pour himself a glass of water with
268
that plastic jug normally your elders for for you i mean your juniors pour for the elders
269

270
that okay i just spilled my glass of water
271
but yeah we just ordered our food and they brought our side dishes here
272
and yeah they'll bring our food and put it on here to cook for us
273
but yeah we are in the restaurant now
274
and we are the only people in here okay
275

277
and they said we have to wait five minutes for it to be fully cooked yeah
278
but you could eat the toboki and the noodles yeah
279
so now we're ready to eat this is just a big
280
wooden spoon meant to stir this chicken toboki noodles this is a big cast iron pan you ready to eat

291
but happy a large round pan sits in the middle almost empty with red sauce
292
and spices left on the bottom a wooden spoon rests inside the pan
293
and it looks like everyone has eaten well around the pan there are small side dishes with kimchi corn sauces
294
and fresh green leaves someone is sitting behind the table with
295
their hands near their face looking relaxed after eating the restaurant feels warm
296
and busy with people sitting close together
297
and dark wooden walls around the room there are cups a water bottle chopsticks
298
and plates on the table showing that this was a shared meal with friends
299
or family the food must have been hot rich and flavorful.
300
Maybe it was spicy because the sauce is deep red.
301
there are many little marks of seasoning in the pan the fresh lettuce
302
and leaves on the side would make each bite taste lighter
303
and cooler even though the meal is finished the table still tells a story of good food conversation

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.
