1
what's going on guys my name is andrew welcome back to
2
a new video today is december 18th right yeah no 17th december 17th in new york city
3
and the vibes are very festive so i'm going to be doing a New York City ideal winter routine video.
4
This is supposed to be for visitors, people coming from outside of the city to see what the city has to offer during this time of year.
5
I'm sorry.
6
You got to be careful when shooting on this bridge
7
because bikers in New York get super salty when you get in their way.
8
So whenever you're shooting anywhere near bike lanes, be super mindful. So we
9
just stopped at one of my favorite cafes here in Williamsburg.
10
It's called Canary.
11
It's super cute.
12
It has a lot of good food options, coffee options, all that good stuff yeah
13
So we're right here on Barry Street right now in Williamsburg
14
and this is a great street just to walk down
15
if you want to go thrifting or check out some food spots or just explore the neighborhood.
16
Yeah, just kind of like hold a coffee and kind of like look over that way.
17
Whenever you finish exploring Brooklyn and it's time to head back home,
18
back to Manhattan, you're going to just want to hop on a ferry.
19
You buy the tickets using the NYC Ferry app.
20
I just bought three tickets and it was $13.50 total.
21
So it's like $4 per person.
22
I got a question for you.
23
Do you have an international trip coming up anytime soon?
24
If you do, you should download Saily because Saily is an eSIM service
25
that is going to keep connected to wi-fi
26
while you're traveling you need to have wi-fi
27
when i land in a new country the first thing i
28
do is check where my hotel is at grab an uber
29
or text my friend who might be living there
30
or picking me up you need wi-fi for basically everything these days
31
and salee is the easiest way to get wi-fi while traveling
32
so what you're going to do is scan the qr code
33
on the screen it's going to take you to download salee from there you choose the plan
34
that fits your needs you choose which country you're going to
35
and how many gigabytes you need and then you install the eSIM.
36
The whole process only takes a few minutes.
37
It couldn't be easier.
38
And then from here the most important thing is make sure to add the code ANDREUJAMES.
39
I got you guys hooked up.
40
You can use the code ANDREUJAMES at checkout
41
or just use this link right here and you'll get 15% off your first plan.
42
Definitely check out Saley if you're planning a trip abroad.
43
They're super super easy to use and thank you to Saley for sponsoring this video.
44
With that being said we're going to We're gonna get back on this tour.
45
We're making our way towards Washington Square Park.
46
So we're gonna head that way now.
47
The altercation level has risen.
48
We need Spider-Man Bros to degen in the city of degens.
49
God!
50
God!
51
Oh boy.
52
They're very loud in this community, bro.
53
So we're at Washington Square Park right now.
54
The most recognizable feature of this park is the arch.
55
And if you look under the arch, you have a view going up 5th Avenue with the Empire State Building and Midtown in the background.
56
And right now, during this time of year, there's a Christmas tree there.
57
So we're going to go check it out.
58
This is always just an interesting place to be.
59
There's always interesting people here.
60
It's right next to NYU and there's just, I don't know, something's always happening.
61
You have a funny kind of mix of people, funny coming together at this park.
62
A little more to your right.
63
Yup, right there.
64
Hello? Who is this?
65
So we're walking up Fifth Avenue right now towards Midtown Manhattan.
66
That's where we're going to see Times Square, Bryant Park and the Rockefeller Tree.
67
Wow.
68
Bestie.
69
That's the art.
70
You can already see there's starting to be way more people in this area.
71
We're by Grand Central Station so it's going to be busy, but as we keep walking further towards Times Square,
72
that way it's going to get busier and busier and then it will culminate in Rockefeller Center with the Christmas tree.
73
New York is never busier than in the winter.
74
On your way to Times Square, you can stop at the library.
75
If you want to check out some books, it's pretty vibey inside and There's ice skating in the back
76
I can't believe it.
77
The first class way of getting around this city is by a toque bike?
78
What would you call this?
79
Rickshaw.
80
Rickshaw.
81
It's so crazy.
82
It's with the music.
83
It's crazy.
84
Do you guys really into into Christmas?
85
I feel very festive right now.
86
I feel like I'm at home alone right now.
87
Feliz Navidad.
88
Feliz Navidad.
89
Feliz Navidad.
90
The total for that ride was $62 including a 15% tip.
91
So we only went for six minutes and then it cost $62.
92
So it's definitely expensive.
93
I would be careful too, because they're going to try to keep riding as long as possible, because it's charged by the minute.
94
But if you know how much it costs, it could be a fun way to get around the city.
95
We have now entered Times Square.
96
Wow.
97
The Rockefeller Christmas tree is like Christmas Mecca for America.
98
People love to come here as a sort of like pilgrimage of Christmas and this is the spot.
99
You can see people congregate here from all over the world, people who love Christmas.
100
And it's busy, but it's cool.
101
We saw the tree, we got the picture, let's go. So we're
102
back in my apartment now and that is going to be an end to our winter guide.
103
I hope you guys learned a couple things from this video or got some inspiration for
104
Possible things you can do in the city if you're coming to visit.
105
It's super cold outside right now.
106
Alexa, what's the temperature?
107
Right now, it's 19 degrees Fahrenheit cold very cold So the city is definitely chilly at this time of year, but there's a lot of Christmasy vibes It's very cozy
108
and I definitely recommend coming here at some point if you can
109
if you're planning a trip abroad If you're planning on going anywhere, coming to New York, going somewhere else where you need Wi-Fi, you need connection, you need data, Saley is the way to go.
110

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.
