Welcome back to a new video guys.

Today you'll learn English through comprehensible input while we shop at a Chinese grocery store.

Very weirdly shaped peppers.

Very popular and these ones are toasted walnuts.

Let's get a mint dove and for example cucumber, Italian red meat.

Just blend up the coconut.

Exactly.

We'll go through everything in detail here but I'll give you this type of purple.

And apparently it's very controversial as well.

That way you can track your pronunciation progress as you this

one is marinated tofu want to understand up to 95 of

spoken english get my 3 000 most common english words through the link in the description

or pinned comment

and i've now added the 10 000 most common english words

to my app to help you understand up to 99 of spoken english let's go in

and get started okay so we are now going down into the Chinese grocery store.

This grocery store is underground.

And Walmart is the biggest chain here in Beijing.

And I believe it is from Beijing, Walmart.

Although most people now just buy their groceries online.

It looks like there's a food court here in the beginning.

You can see a food court.

And over there is the grocery store.

You want to get something to eat first?

Let me check the time.

11 .45.

I'm kind of thirsty.

Yeah, we can get like a milk tea or something to drink inside.

We could just get a drink from here.

I mean, we're going to the grocery store anyway.

So now let's go into Woomart.

Okay, first things first, they're selling you half a watermelon with a spork.

But why does it look like they chopped it in half with their hand?

You know, it's not like clean cut.

Usually when a watermelon is full of sugar, you just tap it and it splits.

So that's probably what happened here.

Here they have some too.

That's actually interesting.

I guess it's kind of like a bowl

but in the beginning here they have a bunch of fruit what's

that no idea what's

that is this a mango oh no this is a papaya this is what the grocery store looks like

and the shopping carts are actually like miniature like i don't know

if you can tell on camera

but they are quite small anyway let's walk through the grocery store here here they have eggs

so for 30 eggs it's about

three to four u .s dollars i think these are eggs too

but like oh they're like gifts oh

that looks like a gift you know like a gift package here

we are in the produce area is this the one

that they smash and make that salad out of i think

so have you seen it's like viral on like tick tock

but most cucumbers are like a little bit spiky yeah i think

so but now they've genetically modified them

so they aren't spiking anymore these are some very weirdly shaped peppers look at the shape of this thing

this is what we get in north america

it looks more like this not like this what's this a banana pepper they have beans what's

that it's like it's like a squished eggplant yeah honestly it probably is an eggplant

because the eggplant is right across oh true yeah it looks exactly like that

but just in ball form here

we are inside the fresh produce section of a grocery store in china the store is spacious brightly lit

and organized into different sections people usually visit grocery stores to buy food

and household supplies for the next few days

or for the entire week they may create a shopping list beforehand compare different brands check expiration dates

and examine fresh produce carefully some shoppers buy only what they need

while others fill an entire cart prices can vary depending on the brand quality season

and size of the package fresh produce is sometimes sold by weight, so the final cost depends on how much a customer selects.

Many grocery stores also offer sales and special promotions.

A discounted item costs less than its regular price, while a promotion may encourage customers to buy several items together.

Checking prices carefully can help shoppers save money and avoid unnecessary purchases.

Is that tea or alcohol?

Baijiu.

Baijiu?

Yeah.

What is that?

It's like Chinese rice wine.

Chinese rice wine?

Like soju.

Exactly.

Oh, what's this?

This is rock sugar.

Rock sugar?

Yeah.

Damn.

So you can just self -serve yourself sugar, rice, beans.

Oh, here's the OG soybeans.

Soybeans.

This is what unprocessed soybeans look like.

And over here you have...

Is that kubusa?

We have like Beijing style, Beijing smoked chicken.

That's crazy.

That's like vacuum sealed.

You have like sausage and other stuff.

That sausage looks very similar to Ukrainian sausage.

That looks like salami.

They have like another half chicken there.

Oh my gosh, dude.

This stuff is amazing.

100

This, we're going to get this.

101

Let me get, get the 20 pack.

102

Or I'll just get a big bottle.

103

Well, you'll find where the drinks are over there somewhere.

104

Yeah, I'll get a big bottle, but this is really good.

105

This tea, I recommend that.

106

Okay, so here we have some walnuts.

107

Walnuts are very popular, and these ones are toasted walnuts.

108

These ones are not toasted.

109

I just guessed that, but...

110

Here you have some dates.

111

It looks like it's right.

112

They do look toasted.

113

They've got, like, some char on them.

114

These right here are dates.

115

Oh, ice cream.

116

Dude, is that pea bean -flavored ice cream?

117

Like, green bean flavor?

118

What?

119

They have bean flavor ice cream, bro.

120

I always see people have that one.

121

What's another popular one you always see?

122

That one right there, that one with the cow?

123

Oh, yeah, yeah.

124

People always have that one.

125

The Olympic one?

126

Yeah.

127

What else do they got here?

128

Some corn dogs.

129

That ice cream flavor looks very interesting.

130

Look at that one.

131

Yeah, the pea flavor?

132

Hell no, dude.

133

Oh, people also have that one a lot.

134

153

A lot of yogurt.

154

At least the yogurt and milk is in the fridge.

155

I've seen a lot of countries that don't do that, which I find weird since in Canada we do freezer section.

156

And it's very interesting to me that they also like crawfish because that's like a southern thing.

157

I haven't really seen it outside of the states

158

but i've seen it a lot here in beijing crawfish seen

159

it almost i've seen like crayfish uh hot pot restaurants yeah

160

but they just sell that yeah

161

and here they have the pre -sliced beef for you that's convenient

162

so we've got one of these this is like the most famous chili oil

163

laogonma maybe ask the ask the viewers what the difference is with this one

164

i know it's kind of like a green stripe

165

and it says zero percent here so maybe this is like less oil

166

or less salt or something yeah what's the difference between those two

167

but i'm guessing that that one's the original yeah we'll take we'll take

168

that one just in case okay you guys

169

so we've got two packs of noodles here this one is beef sour cabbage

170

and this one is braised beef noodle i know

171

that cabbage one's gonna be good that cabbage one is gonna be fire

172

because i don't know i love sour things with beef

173

so i think that will be very good

174

but yeah this is the dry noodle section

175

but i think that's good enough for noodles we do have a whole list of stuff

176

that we want to get okay

177

so over here is the chocolate bar section i think

178

this is a chinese brand right dove in north america dove

179

is a soap brand oh porridge oh no those are just oats

180

it's not porridge like in south africa they have like really good porridge flavors

181

you know yeah here's your white rabbit oh white rabbit yeah

182

i found it right there okay do you guys know what this is white rabbit candy

183

i believe this is the most like famous chinese candy ever

184

if you're chinese you definitely recognize this white rabbit i think

185

i'll also get some dove let's get a mint dove

186

and a white chocolate dove let's get these two as well put those in there what else should we get

187

you think some of these chinese porridges would be good look at

188

that blueberry or blackberry porridge or this one lotus porridge or this one corn porridge.

189

Dude corn would actually be good.

190

That looks like that

191

South African one.

192

That looks like cassava.

193

It's corn and cassava.

194

That one actually looks really good.

195

So these are all just packages here and it looks like it's porridge.

196

Okay this is something.

197

Oh these two.

198

This is something I've really been looking for and it's this.

199

Oh man.

200

Someone recommended this to me and they said that if you like coconut milk then get this.

201

And also this is like a very controversial brand

202

because of their marketing I mean as you can see I'm sure you can tell why

203

But they say this is the best one.

204

So I'm going to definitely get this.

205

So we've added a few more items to our cart.

206

We've added these.

207

These.

208

Some QQ gummies.

209

White rabbit you already saw.

210

And also these.

211

But I think I'm going to get a can to go.

212

Ooh, too bad it's not cold.

213

Let me try it.

214

We'll also get one of these.

215

A can of these to try.

216

Put that in here.

217

over here we have all the chips flavors

218

so you can see they have a bunch of unique flavors

219

for example cucumber italian red meat flavor texas grilled barbecue flavor mexican chicken tomato flavor kimchi flavor like there are

220

so many flavors here here they have more roasted seaweed flavor they have a lot of options here okay

221

so we kind of just went through the whole store on that side

222

and now we're at the drink section we're gonna get a cold drink i know this drink is very popular

223

and it's good i've had it it's like iced tea but my favorite drink here

224

is let me just find it my favorite drink here is not cold they didn't put it in the fridge

225

so there's no cold one that's sad okay

226

so this is our shopping cart you can see it's really small

227

now you can see it's smaller you can push it it's either that or leon is really big but anyway Jack.

228

Jack.

229

Jack.

230

Jack.

231

Oh!

232

Watch out, dog.

233

Watch out for the robot.

234

Hello.

235

What about ice cream?

236

Oh, for real.

237

You think they got that mangosteen ice cream that we missed last time?

238

Yeah, right there.

239

Ooh, low -key.

240

Have we eaten anything today?

241

I think we deserve an ice cream.

242

Okay, so now we're checking out.

243

Low -key bought a lot.

244

You think we can put this all on a bike?

245

I'll give you a hand with the bagging.

246

Yeah, put the heavy stuff on the bottom.

247

Weren't you a bagger once?

248

Never.

249

Okay, guys, so we just finished shopping.

250

You can see we have all our shopping beside us.

251

I'll actually try this while I eat.

252

I think this is probably one of the coolest, like, packaging I've ever seen i'm not gonna lie what was the controversy it's

253

because it was like very sexual so they got sued a lot of times for

254

that for like the packaging i guess because it's not like conservative

255

but anyway this is what we got for lunch

256

this is braised pork with a little soup on the side we both got the same thing

257

and right now we're just sitting in this food court dude

258

look at this you can get like a five gallon jug of coconut water yeah

259

this one is i hope it's coconut milk it's coconut milk

260

so i thought it was coconut milk hopefully that's what it is well we're about to find out

261

but anyway we're sitting inside this food port yeah it's a little dim but

262

but it's the vibes it's a nice vibe it's quiet let's try

263

this food this is the plate let's try it try

264

it rate of one through ten one bite everyone knows the rules okay

265

now let's mix it up they put a lot in here oh yeah

266

they put a lot we have a soya sauce egg

267

also this is like the sausage we saw in the in the grocery store

268

I wanted to try the sausage it looks like kuba sauce yeah it's literally 99 % kuba sauce

269

but it's good it goes well with everything it's salty

270

I wish it was a little bit sweeter yeah that's where the pickled radish comes in just as that sweetness I

271

hope it's coconut milk cuz I've been under the impression

272

that it's coconut milk i like coconut water but only

273

if it's cold

274

so i really hope it's not coconut water oh no it's milk thank god i was a little bit scared

275

because this this is like clearly coconut water

276

but this you can see the inside oh yeah that's white and you know how they make coconut milk

277

they just blend up the coconut exactly yeah they blend it as much as they can and they strain

278

the chunks from it holy that's good if this was cold man

279

if it tastes this good warm try that that is some good stuff wow smells a little bit like coconut

280

that's really good i think there's a little bit of sugar added

281

but that's pretty pretty natural and if it was cold man that'd be

282

so good good thing we bought like two large containers of

283

that okay so that was the grocery store we went to

284

and now we're leaving i don't know how we're gonna bring this home

285

because we only have a bicycle so we're gonna check

286

if this could fit in the basket on the bicycle since we only have one bag yeah

287

i don't know about you guys

288

but i would say it fits i'll just have to hold

289

it here leon's over there maybe i'll give him some stuff off.

290

But I would say, overall, this is not too bad.

291

You can see there are just a bunch of bikes here.

292

And this is something I love about China.

293

You can just rent a bike anywhere.

294

You just have to scan this QR code.

295

And it's just so convenient.

296

And it's a lot of the time faster than public transportation or taking the metro or bus.

297

Because the bikes are just everywhere.

298

And it's just very convenient.

299

But anyway, that's where the WooMart was.

300

And now we're going to head home, back to our hotel, so we can drop this off and then continue shopping.

301

Okay, guys, so we got all the goods behind me, as you can see, and we're going to go through each

302

and every one of the items we bought at the grocery store in Beijing.

303

Let's start over here.

304

As you can see here, we got four cans of Lay's chips.

305

These look very similar to Pringles.

306

We'll go through everything in detail here, but I'll give you a quick overview.

307

So we got some

308

Lay's chips, some coconut milk, ramen noodles, tofu snacks, spicy sticks, more ramen, more chips, and some traditional Chinese snacks here.

309

So most of the items I have behind me are very popular traditional Chinese snacks and chips flavors.

310

All of these were recommended by the internet, by ChachiBT, and by DeepSeek AI.

311

So all of this stuff was recommended through various sources online some of the stuff i got

312

because i thought it would taste good let's start over here cucumber flavored chips

313

i have never seen this anywhere else in the world except for in china you guys can let me know

314

if you've ever seen this in your home country

315

but i'm pretty sure this is from china and i have tried them

316

and contrary to logical thinking it does not taste like water

317

it tastes like slightly sweet it doesn't taste like cucumber in my opinion

318

because cucumber is like 90 % water or something like that.

319

Then we got barbecue flavor.

320

You can kind of hear.

321

I think some of the chips cracked because we brought them on a plane.

322

But here we have roasted seaweed flavor.

323

This one sounds like it really broke up.

324

I'm not even sure.

325

Can you guys translate that for me?

326

What flavor is this?

327

It looks like some sort of like flat Chinese pancake

328

or something but yeah then we have candied walnuts

329

so these are walnuts covered or coated in a thin layer of sugar

330

so you could call them candied walnuts these should be really good here we have some noodles these are thick

331

and chewy noodles you can see these noodles are thick they're not thin noodles they're thick

332

and it comes in a container

333

so you just need to pour water in this container

334

and then close the lid for a couple minutes

335

and it'll be ready you don't need to get a separate bowl like you do with these.

336

With this pack of ramen you need to take out the individual packet

337

and get a bowl and then put hot water in

338

that bowl and make it like that as you see in the image.

339

This one you don't need to because it comes with a bowl.

340

This package is a beautiful purple color and the flavor is beef sour cabbage.

341

I have tried it because I bought a small bowl to try and it was very good.

342

So I do like these ones a lot and I like the color of this packaging.

343

It's very nice.

344

I like this type of purple.

345

This is a very popular Chinese coconut milk as well.

346

I'm sure if you're Chinese you have had this

347

and apparently it's very controversial as well because of the advertising as you can see here.

348

But I tried it and it is quite good.

349

I like coconut milk.

350

You can't really go wrong.

351

Let me know.

352

Do you like coconut milk or not?

353

Here we just have some sunflower seeds.

354

I'm sure everyone knows what these are.

355

In Canada we have a sunflower seed brand called Spitz

356

and they're flavored and they are very very good

357

and in Canada the way we eat sunflower seeds is we take like a handful not a huge handful

358

but a decent handful and we put it all in our mouth

359

and we put them to one side

360

and then you suck on them to get the flavor

361

because we have like barbecue flavor all seasoned salt salt

362

and pepper we have many different flavors and you put it to one side

363

and then when you want to eat one you bring it to the other side of your mouth.

364

You crack it, take the seed out, eat the seed and spit out the shell.

365

That's how we do it in Canada.

366

But I have seen other people.

367

They just bite it and take the seed out, bite it one at a time and take the seed out in Canada.

368

I guess we're skilled or maybe other parts of the world also do that.

369

Here we have some spicy nuts, spicy, spicy.

370

And here we have, I think the most famous chili oil in China, Lao Gon Ma, Lao Gon Ma

371

or something it's uh it's this grandma as you can see

372

but i don't think i've ever really tried this before

373

so i'm really looking forward to trying this and

374

if you guys want to see me try all this stuff let me know in the comments

375

and i'll make a video so we're done on

376

that side now let's go over to this side over here here

377

we have some more noodles this one is just

378

i think braised beef noodles you can see the package is bright red my favorite color color is red

379

so my favorite color is red

380

so i i like this packaging tell me do you have

381

a favorite color what is it let me know in the comments

382

and also to answer these questions you can take your phone record yourself

383

and answer the question

384

that way you can track your pronunciation progress as you go on next

385

we have another bag of chips here this one is texas grilled barbecue flavor

386

i did see a lot of like texas and like american flavored chips

387

which i found quite interesting but I got this to try as well.

388

Over here, I know this is very popular as well in China.

389

It's a hawthorn.

390

Hawthorn.

391

That's what it looks like.

392

It's really popular.

393

They come in rolls or in like these discs

394

and I just got the disc one but these are very popular as well and I like the packaging.

395

The packaging is very simple and clean.

396

I think this is the most famous candy.

397

White Rabbit.

398

You could see i opened up the packaging here

399

and i tried one um it's very hard it's very hard i will say

400

that the candy i don't know if you have to just suck it

401

or you chew it

402

but i did notice it's quite a hard candy it does get like softer as you chew it

403

but it's not like hard like uh like a jolly rancher

404

or something but it's not soft either you know like a starburst

405

but yeah i think these are the most famous chinese candy white rabbit

406

but i did like it it was like a like a little bit creamy

407

it was pretty good i did like this one over here another very popular snack

408

i believe this is squid i could be wrong

409

but i believe this is squid here i know these are very popular too

410

this is like uh spicy sticks

411

i'm not really sure what this is made out of i tried

412

it you can check out my other video where i tried a bunch of convenience store food in china

413

i tried this i'm not a fan

414

but my brother i guess he loves it

415

because he was just eating it in the hotel room after he was just eating them

416

and i'm like not not really my thing you know not really my thing

417

but yeah he liked

418

this one what else do we got oh these ones pickled pepper bamboo shoots

419

i bought this one at 7 11

420

because i couldn't find this in any of the grocery stores

421

i went to i went to the moo mart i believe it was called

422

and also to uh to another one i went to another really big one

423

but i couldn't find these but when i was in 7 -eleven i found them

424

so i'm going to try these two

425

and the last few snacks we have are all pretty similar these are like tofu snacks

426

i believe this one is tofu and chicken tofu and chicken

427

and mushroom this one is dry tofu dry tofu

428

this one is oh yeah this is the store

429

i bought these from with the cow this one is marinated tofu spicy flavor.

430

And this last one is Juicy Burst Mountain Delicacy Tofu.

431

So I believe those are all the snacks I got.

432

You guys can see it doesn't look like a lot of snacks but this took up about half of my suitcase.

433

So I got all these snacks.

434

I will definitely try them all.

435

If you guys want to see a video on that let me know in the comments.

436

But tell me out of all these snacks which ones have you tried and which snacks are your favorite.

437

We will now have a shadowing segment here.

438

Here we can see all the food and snacks we bought during our grocery trip in China.

439

Everything is spread out on the bed so we can look at it clearly.

440

There is a wide mix of items including chips, crackers, instant noodles, packaged snacks,

441

drinks, and a few products that are unfamiliar to us.

442

The colorful packaging immediately stands out

443

and makes the whole scene look exciting a grocery store usually

444

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.
