56
One moment I'm going to pick up my chopsticks.
57
So you can see these are the glass noodles.
58
Yum!
59
It's in a really spicy broth so I I ask them to bring it out mild spice.
60
Sometimes it messes up my stomach a little bit.
61
When I say mess up, I mean it doesn't feel good.
62
I'm going to enjoy my meal with Mary and then I'll get back to you.
63
We just had a great early dinner.
64
How do you feel?
65
I feel full but satisfied.
66

67
I didn't go over my 80%.
68
Do I have food in my teeth?
69
No. You have food in your teeth?
70
I have a few questions for you.
71
Hold on.
72
Get it?
73
No. I'll just move the camera a little further away.
74
So people can't see it.
75
Hold on.
76
Let me just...
77
Okay, so while Mary's picking the food out of her teeth...
78
So picking the food out of your teeth means...
79
I want to give you a little background about my relationship with Mary.
80
I've known Mary for almost 15 years.
81
Crazy.
82
And we used to work in the same hair salon together.
83
We were both hairstylists.
84
Actually, Mary's still a hairstylist, and I'm kind of retired.
85
Can you just tell us a little bit about you?
86
What do I want to say about me?
87
So I've been a hairdresser for more than 20 years.
88
Even though it doesn't seem like it, because I'm so young looking.
89
I'm almost 40 years old.
90
I'm going to be 40 next year.
91
Fun fact.
92
Fun fact, I have a phobia with caterpillars.
93
Why?
94
I'm so scared.
95
I do not like them.
96
They are weird.
97
They move weird.
98
And not a lot of people know this, but they run really fast.
99
They can move very, very fast.
100
And they can stand up and they can wiggle their nubs at you.
101
Oh, my gosh.
102
True fact.
103
That happened to me.
104
It's disgusting.
105
I used to collect caterpillars.
106
Eww.
107
And because I have a phobia with caterpillars, I see them all the time.
108
I just saw one yesterday in my mint garden.
109
So we would call that manifesting.
110
You manifested caterpillars.
111
I manifest caterpillars in my life all the time.
112
What do you like to do as your hobby?
113
I love to cook.
114
Cooking is like my favorite thing.
115
I love looking up recipes and trying them out.
116
I love using chat GPT to just figure out what's in my refrigerator, what can I make from it,
117
and then use that and my own creativity and make a dish and feed people.
118
I like feeding people.
119
See it's all food, all food related.
120
But traveling obviously, going to different countries, states.
121
Can you tell us a little bit about your background?
122
So you're Vietnamese.
123
Were you born and raised in Vietnam or America?
124
So yes, my background is Vietnamese.
125
I was born I was born and raised here in California. And...
126
But I was...
127
Okay.
128
I guess that's it.
129
I was born here.
130
Always lived in California. But maybe, potentially...
131
You heard it first.
132
Maybe move into Arkansas.
133
What's it like in Arkansas?
134
So Arkansas is actually really beautiful.
135
It's very green and lush lush and very like nature like
136
if you're a nature person you're like going hiking there's lots of trails
137
and it's just yeah very green is what I can describe
138
lots of lots of lakes beautiful lakes wonderful people everyone there
139
that I've met are sweet and welcoming and what are your favorite things to do on your spare time?
140
Okay so lately in my spare time I've been enjoying a show called The Pit.
141
Have you ever heard of it?
142
No. The Pit is about a hospital in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.
143
It's a really chaotic environment because it's filmed in the emergency room so you see so many different types of
144
interesting but sad cases, very unique cases.
145
Each episode is filmed over their...
146
How do I explain it?
147
Okay, next question.
148
Next question.
149
Okay, boring!
150
Next question.
151
What's your all-time favorite place to travel to and why do you recommend it?
152
That's a really tough question.
153
As you know, some of you know, I went to Tokyo recently and that was one of my absolute favorite trips
154
that I've ever taken in my entire life because I thoroughly enjoyed the public transportation, so taking the train.
155
The food was so delicious, it didn't matter what part of the city we were in, there was always something good to eat.
156
And it can be a pretty affordable trip.
157
When I say affordable, I mean the food is cheaper than in Los Angeles.
158
And Los Angeles or LA is a very expensive place to live.
159
So I almost feel like I saved money for going over to Tokyo.
160
I also really love Paris.
161
There's a street that I really love in Paris called Princess Street.
162
It's like what you would imagine in any movie set in
163
Paris on the Parisian streets What country have you been dreaming of seeing or visiting that you haven't seen?
164
Well, I haven't been to Korea in a really long time since I was, I think, seven years old So that doesn't quite answer your question
165
because I've been there but kind of feels like I haven't been there because I know a lot has changed.
166
I also would love to go to the Nordic countries like Norway and Finland and Sweden.
167
I also want to go to Switzerland.
168
I want to go to every single country, honestly.
169
What do you guys want to see from Bo?
170
Maybe something, some sports that you can play?
171
Do you guys want her to try some new sports, some new outdoor activities?
172
Well, by the time I post this video, I would have or should have already posted a video of my husband and I,
173
Gabriel, at the track.
174
I filmed us running on the track and you'll learn lots of new vocabulary in that video, so check it out if you haven't seen it.
175
When am I going to see you again?
176
I don't know.
177
I will try to see each other more often than not.
178
Because Mary might be moving and yeah.
179
But not for a while, right?
180
Not for a while.
181
Thank you so much for chatting with us, me and the subscribers.
182
Love seeing you.
183
I hope you learned something.
184
Let me know in the comments what you did learn.
185
And also, could you understand what we are saying?
186
Since we are speaking in our normal speech.
187
Thanks again!
188
See you soon!
189
Bye!

Zo oefen je met deze video

- Neem jezelf op en vergelijk met het origineel; let daarbij op woorden als noodle, broth, caterpillar.
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.
