Learn English with me while I show you my trip to Thailand.
3
Starting with our first 30 hour flight. to Thailand.
4
It's a brutal flight, but...
5
this wasn't even The longest flight I've been on.
6
When I was on...
7
an extreme budget I would buy the cheapest tickets I could find and once
8
I had a 50 hour flight.
9
with a 12 -hour layover in Los Angeles, Okay.
10
then an eight -hour layover in Japan.
11
That was a brutal flight.
12
I think once you're on hour 13... On a plane?
13
that's when you're just like Where am I?
14
that's when you lose all notion of time.
15
You don't know where you are.
16
what time it is how long you've been on the flight.
17
You're just lost.
18
What's the longest flight? you've been on.
19
How do you cope with long flights.
20
I try to sleep through them. Of course.
21
But I'm curious.
22
What other strategies Do you have to cope with long flights.
23
I love nighttime flights because the lights are so pretty and purple and blue,
24
I can sleep all through them.
25
After our 30 hours of traveling, We arrived in Bangkok.
26
very late.
27
and we took an Uber to our Airbnb.
28
The next morning, I took my sister to eat her first Pad Thai.
29
ever.
30
She loved it.
31
We also got a massage.
32
and they saw that I had scraped my knee So they helped me to cure it.
33
Thai people are so kind.
34
So, so kind.
35
They even offered to give me the bottle of hydrogen peroxide, I think.
36
They're so sweet.
37
I Love.
38
Pad Thai.
39
But I like pod see you.
40
even more.
41
I love the thick rice noodles.
42
A couple days later, we took the bus to Suratani.
43
to then take a ferry to Koh Tao.
44
My favorite place. in Thailand.
45
You could see all the fairies.
46
from the beach.
47
I loved seeing the sunrise.
48
with my sister.
49
It was very different from going with my sister than it was going alone.
50
Of course, I love traveling alone.
51
But "going with my sister," was so special It made me a little emotional.
52
that my lifelong dream of traveling with my sister was coming true.
53
and in one of my favorite places in the whole world.
54
We walked across the ramp.
55
to board the ferry, This fairy gets really bumpy.
56
Sometimes.
57
I remember some stories of some fairies that would sink on their way to Koh Tao.
58
because the current and the waves are just too intense.
59
I remember seeing videos of people fishing out their suitcases and bags from the ocean.
60
It's scary for me.
61
Every time I take that fairy because I know that that sometimes They sink.
62
and I can swim Fine.
63
But my computer, my phone, my iPad, my microphone, They're expensive.
64
But I try to forget all of those worries and just enjoy the view with the fresh breeze And the soft sun...
65
It's not too intense like in Mexico.
66
It makes me so grateful to be able to visit a place like this.
67
I love Kotel.
68
We took a taxi.
69
And we sat in the back of a pickup truck And we arrived at our Airbnb.
70
we stayed near the beach where i would go on morning jogs and I would read my book
71
"on a hammock." this is life.
72
jogging, swimming, and reading.
73
It makes me feel alive.
74
It makes me feel grateful.
75
and inspired to spread all of the positivity and the beauty that I see in the world.
76
with everyone I can.
77
with you guys with the people I meet,
78
It's so important we remember that the world is a beautiful place.
79
We moved Airbnbs.
80
and we stayed right next to the bay.
81
It was such a wonderful experience.
82
to wake up with the sunrise.
83
Every morning, and go snorkeling.
84
I saw the three turtles.
85
Living near the bay every morning always Keeping my distance.
86
You don't want to make them feel...
87
suffocated.
88
and you should never touch one.
89
Humans have lots of bacteria.
90
on our hands.
91
that can make a turtle sick.
92
I said good morning to the box fish to the angelfish and to my favorites the parrotfish.
93
I love them all.
94
It was so magical to be right next to the ocean.
95
watching these videos makes me miss it so bad.
96
I can't wait.
97
to go again.
98
My sister and I tried lots of snacks from the 7 -eleven We drank lots of coconuts.
99
We ate lots of Thai food and delicious desserts.
100
like these cinnamon buns, We saw the cutest bullfrog outside of the pharmacy at night.
101
You could hear the croaks.
102
of the bullfrogs.
103
all night long.
104
They made such a scary sound.
105
straight out of a horror movie.
106
during the scenes where something terrible is about to happen.
107
That's what they sounded like.
108
They would lie in the gutters.
109
croaking all night long.
110
After traveling around Koh Tao for a week, we head to Chiang Mai.
111
to see the elephant sanctuary.
112
You can find that video linked in my description if you want to see it.
113
So guys, I have a sad story to tell you.
114
I recorded Everything.
115
when I went to Thailand.
116
The beautiful places I visited with my sister, the beaches, the ocean, the moments the laughs,
117
And I was so excited to finally start editing it.
118
I love editing my vlogs.
119
I love sharing my traveling experiences.
120
with you guys.
121
But yesterday, I was about to compile all my videos from my phone and send them to my computer.
122
so I could start editing right away.
123
I realized They were gone all the recordings that I cherished from my trip.
124
We're gone.
125
I was very upset.
126
Not just because of the vlog, but because those were precious memories.
127
that I recorded for myself.
128
Memories I thought I would be able to look back on For years to come,
129
I broke down and I cried a lot for a moment.
130
I cried out of frustration, disappointment, and just feeling like I lost very special moments.
131
But then I realized, I didn't lose.
132
anything.
133
Those moments were real.
134
the memories I made with my sister, are real.
135
The sounds, the feelings, the memories, they all still live.
136
here.
137
And I thought I would tell you guys about it because it's a good reminder for everyone.
138
to not be attached to things.
139
They are just...
140
things.
141
They aren't keeping me alive or necessary for my survival.
142
I don't need photos.
143
I don't need a special Ring I don't need that special bracelet.
144
My favorite shirt.
145
Of course, I'll feel sad if I lose those things. But.
146
I can't rely on objects to bring me joy.
147
It reminded me, actually, of "My favorite bracelet I had." Since I was a little girl,
148
It was so special to me.
149
because my mom gave it to me.
150
I was wearing it in the ocean to the next week.
151
I was snorkeling.
152
and I vividly remember my bracelet unlatching.
153
from my ankle and slowly falling deeper and deeper.
154
into the ocean.
155
It just continued to sink.
156
And I was upset.
157
but One thing, that reassured me was that it was a part of the ocean now.
158
A very special thing.
159
that I owned now would forever belong.
160
to the ocean.
161
And that brought me comfort.
162
It brought me reassurance.
163
And I'm sure it's happened.
164
to everyone watching this video.
165
when you lose something very special to you.
166
Something that's worth more than money.
167
It hurts.
168
Ouch.
169
But it teaches us that the feelings and the meaning that it had to you,
170
is something that now you carry inside. of you.
171
but it teaches us.
172
that that feeling or meaning that it had to you, is something that you carry inside with you.
173
I hope you guys enjoyed this very special video I made.
174
just for you with the videos that I did save which are also beautiful videos It was a beautiful experience.
175

176

177

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.
