Les maken...
1
I am in the train station.
2
Today we're travelling to Busan and we will learn lots of English along the journey.
3
I am standing on the platform, which is the place that you wait for your trains.
4
And to my right, there are the tracks.
5
These are the lines that the train runs on.
6
Each section of the train is called the carriage or the car.
7
Now, time to get on the train.
8
We've just arrived at the hotel and what a view.
9
In the distance I can see huge ships on the horizon.
10
There's a statue of a whale in the water.
11
And there are lots of white birds.
12
These white birds are called seagulls.
13
Ooh.
14
There's also a lighthouse.
15
There are people walking along the beach.
16
Cool.
17
Let's go down to take a closer look at everything and explore this area.
18
So we are in Gamcheon Culture Village, which is a giant village full of colorful houses,
19
cute little alleyways, and right now we are on the view point.
20
Looking over the view.
21
We're going to go in, check it out.
22
The sun is setting so everything is beautiful.
23
go see inside.
24
There's lots of art and colourful things.
25
I'm walking down the steps and through the wooden gates.
26
Can't close that.
27
We're walking down a small alley and this is actually a corrugated roof.
28
It's made of metal and corrugated means it has wavy lines or ridges so the rain can run off and drain out.
29
These stairs are pastel pink and this wall is pastel green.
30
Pastel is a lighter version of a colour.
31
It has more white in it, it's more pale, just like my skin.
32
You'll notice guys I have fewer layers on.
33
I'm not as wrapped up because it's warmer here in Boussain, which is nice.
34
This is a mural which is wall art and it's a mural of the Little Prince, which is a book that I read in my French class actually.
35
And this phrase, tu seras pour moi unique au monde, means you will be uniquely mine in the world and I will be uniquely yours.
36
It's a beautiful book and if you haven't read it, I would recommend it.
37
Okay, this
38
is a truck.
39
On the back of the truck there are vegetables,
40
sweet potatoes, and there is a voice coming out of a speaker, a loudspeaker.
41
It's obviously selling fruit and vegetables.
42
DIY.
43
DIY stands for do it yourself and it refers to jobs that you do at home.
44
Like hanging up a painting.
45
Do it yourself.
46
We have lots of little toys and figures outside this shop. And it's Totoro.
47
Totoro.
48
Where is Totoro?
49
Grandmother's memory.
50
Oh.
51
So this is kind of like fun and unusual, this place place.
52
A great word we can use to describe something fun and unusual is quirky.
53
I am a little bit quirky as well.
54
I'll try not to fall over again.
55
And it's very hilly this area.
56
Hilly means it has lots of hills and we can I use it as an adjective.
57
This area is very hilly.
58
Should we go through here?
59
Wow.
60
This really is quirky, it's very unusual.
61
There aren't many places in the world that you see colourful houses like this and lots of hills, winding alleys.
62
Beautiful sunlight.
63
I mean look at that.
64
Good word to describe a view?
65
Stunning.
66
Can describe a view, person or food.
67
That is stunning.
68
Oh, hello.
69
Wow.
70
Up there there is a woman painting the wall yellow.
71
She's painting the wall yellow with a giant paint roller.
72
Now it's time.
73
It's time. For a photo shoot.
74
It's chilly.
75
In this picture a blonde man wearing a white puffer jacket is looking into the distance at the colourful houses.
76
In this picture Chang is walking uphill holding a handbag and looking towards the Sun.
77
Behind me is Gamcheon Culture Village,
78
a village built on a hill with loads of colourful houses clustered together.
79
Clustered means they are all very close together.
80
You can see the rooftops of the houses and right now the sun is setting.
81
It's dipping behind the hill and everything looks pretty.
82
Where's your gloves?
83
My gloves, they're in my pocket.
84
Yeah, my gloves.
85
I'm putting on my gloves now because I'm chilly.
86
Chilly means slightly cold.
87
I'm not freezing, that means very cold.
88
I'm just a bit chilly.
89
A bit nippy actually, we say nippy in the UK.
90
That's better.
91
Feeling good.
92
I want a drink, some hot drink.
93
I don't know, let's go find one.
94
A pink house?
95
Just what I've always wanted.
96
Well, when I said let's grab a drink, I didn't expect this.
97
This is about the most feminine drink I've ever had in my life.
98
Barbie.
99
I ordered a pink smoothie, and I don't know what I expected to be honest.
100
It's even got sprinkles on.
101
Good word for you guys.
102
These are sprinkles.
103
Colorful sweet things on top of the drink.
104
Sprinkles.
105
This is extremely feminine.
106
I'm not sure I can drink it.
107
I can and I will.
108
Thankfully I asked for it with no sugar, but it looks like it's got a lot of sugar in still.
109
It's alright.
110
It tastes like strawberry and yogurt.
111
I've just been beaten to my knees.
112
I've just got brain freeze.
113
Brain freeze is when you eat too much ice cream or drink something really cold and your head really hurts.
114
We call that brain freeze.
115
And it's literally taking me down to the floor.
116
Meow.
117
A cat.
118
A friendly cat?
119
She's meowing.
120
Meow.
121
And this is a caricature shop.
122
A caricature is a cartoon drawing of a person or an animal where the facial features are exaggerated.
123
So they might do you with a massive nose or big ears.
124
This is a very famous restaurant apparently and people have left their reviews on bunting.
125
This is bunting and they've left them with these colourful pens.
126
And these pens are in a pot.
127
There are pots and books on the shelf and generally pens, pencils, rulers, rubbers, we call that stationary.
128
Stationary.
129
Okay.
130
Yeah, there please.
131
Thank you.
132
And then we got mine.
133
This is a dumpling soup.
134
Thank you so much.
135
It's short, a little sour, delicious.
136
Okay, thank you so much.
137
How lovely.
138
So here we have the beef soup,
139
the dumplings, and you can see the steam rising off the food.
140
It's steaming hot, we can say.
141
The soup is steaming hot.
142
I'm just gonna burn my mouth.
143
Hmm.
144
Oh yeah.
145
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
146
There we go.
147
Transparent floor, transparent floor.
148
You can see through the glass floor and we call that transparent.
149
They gave us some lollipops.
150
I don't know why but maybe so you can have a suck while you watch the view.
151
This is cool.
152
Flying through the sky, first night in Busan, I'm about to suck on a lollipop.
153
and our hotel is just over there in the bay.
154
It's very pretty.
155
You can see a skywalk down there, which we're going to go on tomorrow.
156
First impressions of Busan?
157
Very enjoyable.
158
Great food, cool place, nice beach town.
159
Hopefully we don't fall in the ocean.
160
You can see the cityscape.
161
Cool word.
162
the buildings, the streets, the lights.
163
The cityscape is basically the urban version of a landscape.
164
Good morning.
165
Morning world, it's day two in Busan.
166
The sun is shining, it's a gorgeous day, and we have found a very cute coffee shop.
167
So we're gonna get some brunch now.
168
Breakfast, lunch, brunch. So pretty in here.
169
Just chilling next to the plants and this place is beautiful.
170
Chang just ordered eggs in hell, which is like eggs in tomato sauce with sourdough bread.
171
I ordered a hummus bowl.
172
Hummus is mashed chickpeas and then we got two coffees
173
and then after we eat I'm gonna show you guys around they have a very cute dog as well
174
which is so breakfast has arrived and not only does it look delicious
175
but there's also some delicious English right now this is a coffee in in a glass and it sits on a saucer.
176
This is a saucer.
177
I have cutlery to eat my food, a knife, a fork and a spoon.
178
Cutlery.
179
I've ordered a hummus ball.
180
There is half an avocado,
181
homemade sourdough bread, hummus with pistachio nuts and olive oil on,
182
and then a lovely green salad with kale, lettuce, grapes, dill, radish and walnuts.
183
We have some sourdough bread in a metal dish to dip into Chang's dish
184
which is a tomato sauce with broccoli and cheese on top.
185
There are also some eggs inside.
186
And this is very hot, I can't touch this.
187
This is called a cast iron dish.
188
A cast iron dish.
189
Iron is metal and it's the material it's made from.
190
And finally, a bottle of Tabasco.
191
Cheers guys!
192
A person who makes coffees is called a barista.
193
A person who serves you food is called a waiter if it's a male, and a waitress if it's a female.
194
Be kind, eat good food, smile a lot, pet the dog, be you, say thank you.
195
The baubles are hanging by the window, watching the view.
196
The wine bottles are wearing woolly hats.
197
The washing is hanging on the washing line.
198
It's a sunny day and in the distance,
199
the bridge stretches from one side of the river to the other.
200
There is more washing hanging from the washing line, and there is a kettlebell on the floor.
201
So maybe the person who hung these clothes liked to work out while they waited.
202
I love this place.
203
They pay close attention to detail, which means every little detail is well thought of, well thought about.
204
They have the bookshelves, the quotes on the wall, good music, the wooden ceiling fans,
205
the large lampshades, great furniture, great decoration, and it's a really warm,
206
cozy, light, bright feeling in here.
207
It's lovely.
208
If you ever come to Busan, I would highly recommend this place.
209
Koshonee.
210
We just
211
got out of the taxi and about to head to the museum.
212
But look at this place, it's very cool.
213
What do I see?
214
I see very big ships.
215
That red thing is a crane and it's used for lifting very heavy things.
216
There are giant rubber tires on the edge of the ship and big thick ropes.
217
So you would call this place a port.
218
A port is a place where ships come and go.
219
It's different to a dock.
220
A dock is like a car park for ships.
221
A dock is a place where ships rest.
222
But this is an industrial port.
223
And that is a giant yacht suspended in the air.
224
Let's go.
225
So we are going to the art museum.
226
Eternal nature.
227
Eternal means living forever ever.
228
Chang is inserting the card into the slot,
229
clicking next and paying 38,000 won.
230
The ticket is printing, now the ticket has printed.
231
Chang is taking the card and let's go!
232
The infinite circle.
233
Purple vehicle.
234
In this room, there were projections of waterfalls on the walls.
235
And the floor was made of mirrors.
236
So it made you feel like you were in a giant waterfall.
237
This room was Chang's favorite because she loves the smell of roses.
238
Super sweet, the sound was amazing and the light was unreal.
239
These are sunflowers and they are slowly fading into a rose.
240
These lilies are also fading into roses.
241
There are pink petals on the black floor.
242
These flowers are transforming from dead to alive, colourful and bright.
243
There was a piano, so I had to go and tinkle around, improvise, play some keys.
244
The next room was a tornado room.
245
A tornado is a strong whirlwind.
246
Heavy rain.
247
This room was trippy.
248
This room had to be my favourite of the entire museum.
249
They were playing Claire de Lune while showing us Van Gogh's artwork.
250
This was probably the best museum I've ever been to in my life.
251
It was full of light shows and digital art.
252
It was pretty special.
253
There is a UFO flying across the screen, and a manta ray floating above Busan's cultural village.
254
Everyone is.
255
Hello.
256
We just had the most amazing experience in the art museum and just been in the gift shop.
257
There you go.
258
And now in a photo booth.
259
Standard procedure.
260
Photos in 3, 2, 1.
261
Okay, we got another one.
262
Let's see the resort.
263
3, 2, 1.
264
Cute.
265
We just had the most wonderful time at the museum.
266
It was really immersive, meaning the light and the sounds and the smells really immersed you.
267
gave you a powerful feeling.
268
And now we're in another cultural village.
269
It feels like Greece or something here.
270
Apparently there's loads of artwork in this area and it's right by the coast.
271
So the plan is to look at the art, find a cafe, drink some nice coffee and then I've got a YouTube live stream.
272
So this will be me in the future.
273
I will have done that YouTube livestream in a few weeks time.
274
That's the plan for now.
275
Tonight, get dinner and continue to explore the lovely Busan.
276
Let's go.
277
And look at this, guys.
278
It's printing on blocks of wood.
279
Printing images, printing pictures on a block of wood.
280
And that mechanism is going back and forth, left and right.
281
Zee, zee, zee, zee, zee, zee.
282
Philadelphia cheese ice cream.
283
Ordering an ice cream, of course.
284
It's just about warm enough.
285
Mmm.
286
Be right back.
287
It's vanilla ice cream with melted chocolate on top and the chocolate solidifies, meaning it hardens.
288
It goes from melted to solid.
289
Ice cream in a tub.
290
We call this a tub.
291
Small tub.
292
Different than a cone.
293
Yeah.
294
A cone is a triangle one that is made of wafer and you eat it.
295
This is a tub.
296
Ice cream in a tub or ice cream in a cone?
297
This one's a tub.
298
We just stopped to get some stickers for the fridge,
299
some fridge magnets for decorating in our fridge back home and the best thing ever had to come back for this
300
is Mario in a tux, tuxedo and peach
301
so that's going to take pride of place on a shelf in our house and this is a gift shop
302
this is a sign for a cafe On the sign it has Korean writing
303
and an image of a champagne glass or a champagne flute.
304
This is another cocktail glass.
305
You okay there?
306
Do you want to hand me something?
307
Alright guys we're going up some very very steep stairs.
308
Steep means it's whoop.
309
You alright there Chuck?
310
Want me to grab the camera?
311
I feel like I'm pulling you up a mountain.
312
There we go, steep stairs to the probably too bright Great view for you, but that looks incredible.
313
I'm just about to hop onto the YouTube live stream, so I'll see you there.
314
Or maybe in the future, I will have seen you there.
315
And I'll be doing more regular live streams on YouTube.
316
I want to make it useful for you guys and to interact with you in real time.
317
On top of that, I have my English platform, Sprout.
318
And on Sprout, I will be doing four group classes per month.
319
So we'll have a live interaction, you and me, and actually be able to chat together.
320
So if you sign up for the super subscription, then you get access to four group classes per month,
321
which at $10, that's $2.50 per group class.
322
It's a bloody steal.
323
I hope you get benefit from these, and if not, I'll see you on the YouTube ones.
324
We just left the cafe and look how cute these alleys are.
325
The sunlight is shining on the bricks and making them a really vibrant orange.
326
Here we have the plants outside somebody's house.
327
A green ladder or some steps leading up to a platform.
328
And this house is the white and blue.
329
It really looks like grease.
330
And there's a mysterious woman.
331
This is a map and it's showing us where we are and all the different sites and locations like cafes,
332
restaurants and places to walk.
333
What's Chang found?
334
She's looking at a metal grate with padlocks.
335
People have declared their love for each other with these padlocks, just like the ones we saw in Seoul.
336
A wheelbarrow, classic.
337
Remember, wherever you are in the world, have a nice day.
338
What does it say?
339
Keep your voice down, alright.
340
I need to keep my voice down.
341
Okay, we've got our first artwork.
342
There is a shark sticking out his pink tongue, holding a coconut, and smiling in a seedy way.
343
He's wearing a sailor's hat or a captain's hat.
344
very cool and when artwork is painted on the wall like this we call it a mural
345
and this one is a picture of a dolphin wearing a
346
hawaiian shirt there are flamingos on his shirt he's holding a cocktail with a lime wedge in.
347
Ah, it's a little kitty cat.
348
Hello.
349
Look guys.
350
We've got a sleepy kitty.
351
That is chilling.
352
There is a cat bathing, enjoying this sunset.
353
How beautiful this is.
354
Employable!
355
That means incredible in French.
356
A very pink door.
357
And up here, we have some parasols to stop the sun, to shade you from the sun.
358
And a sign. And look who's here.
359
It's Santa.
360
Here Santa is climbing up a ladder, either trying to burgle the place to rob them or give them presents.
361
Ho ho ho ho ho, Merry Christmas.
362
Style.
363
A purple hat.
364
That is the coolest restroom I've ever seen.
365
A restroom is a toilet or a bathroom and it's beautifully designed with mosaic stones.
366
Mosaic stones are lots of different pieces of porcelain stuck together in this jagged, uneven pattern.
367
And there, hello, you can see me in the mirror.
368
Incredible isn't it?
369
Ah, it's a swinging bench.
370
Do you want to sit in it?
371
Get a load of that.
372
Hit my funny bone.
373
Your funny bone is that, well it's not even a bone, it's a nerve in your elbow and when you bash your elbow in it it's really painful.
374
We call that our funny bone and I just hit mine.
375
Anyway, get one of you guys.
376
I'll get you in the sun with a nice backdrop because actually it's Chang I'm taking a photo of.
377
There we go.
378
Cheese, kimchi.
379
The sun is setting, the sky is red, and the final word of the day is a verb.
380
The sun is glowing.
381
Glowing means giving off a soft light.
382
The glowing sun is setting behind the mountain.
383
Thank you for watching, I hope you learned lots of English, and I will see you guys in the next episode.
384
You can actually just stare at it as well.
385
I'm grateful for you.
386
If you're still watching this video, thank you.
387
You're a legend and I appreciate you.
388
I wanted to take this time to sit down and talk with you about my new English learning platform, Sprouts.
389
And I want to share all the value that you can have on Sprouts.
390
So we just released a new feature which is J.I.
391
It's an AI version of me that you can talk with to improve your English.
392
Now why is this better than talking with ChatGBT?
393
Well on Sprout you can watch a video at your level, whether that's A1 or C1,
394
and then after you watch that video you can speak with J.I about that video.
395
He will ask you questions about what happened in the video, what you think about the video, what words you learned in the video,
396
and through this you will be practicing your speaking, your outputs.
397
You're also practicing listening, learning through comprehensible inputs.
398
On Sprout we have thousands of videos
399
and they are all designed to help you become fluent in English through the listening process through immersion.
400
I've designed it in a way that I want it to be this all-in-one platform
401
for you to be able to become fluent in English, for you to be able to practice all things,
402
listening, speaking, writing, building vocabulary and this is only just the beginning.
403
I'm really excited about
404
what Sprout will continue to grow and evolve into and I really hope that you're there with me on this journey.
405
I want to be able to grow myself
406
and I want to give you the platform to be able to grow your English too.
407
So I appreciate all your support and you can check out Sprouts.
408
There is one week free.
409
Try out Super.
410
Let me know what you think of J.I and thank you.
411
Take care, have a lovely day.
412
Bye bye.

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.
