Shadowing Practice: 100 VEHICLES in LEGO... - Learn English Speaking with Video

In this video, I'm gonna be building 100 popular and iconic vehicles in LEGO, from ones on land to water all the way to the sky.

Literally, this video will not end until I build 100 vehicles, so anyway, let the challenge begin.

Okay, now 100 is a huge number, so my game plan is to build any mode of transportation that will take a minifig from one point to another.

The first of our three elements is land, so let's begin with our land vehicles.

The first thing I built is this green Lamborghini.

I also built a lego ambulance.

It's got lots of emergency lights and these doors open in the back to put a person in with a stretcher.

I Also built this lego school bus that can fit several children

and this lego semi truck which has an attachable storage unit with lots of space to put things What about a lowrider?

It's one of those cars that bounce up and down

so I built one in lego to make the thing actually bounce Yeah,

another vehicle is a limousine.

It basically looks like someone stretched a car in Photoshop and usually limousines are for very important people.

So here's the mayor of Lego City and let's safely transport him to his next meeting.

What about electric cars?

Well, Tesla recently came out with this one called the Cybertruck.

It looks like a car that hasn't fully loaded into the map.

Shout out to Elon Musk.

I also built a Lego Model T, which is one of the first ever cars invented.

Here's a Formula One race car.

It's lightweight, low to the map ground and it has lots of wings and a spoiler to make it go fast.

I also built an old school Lego police car and inside is a police officer ready to arrest a criminal.

A man is committing an illegal building technique in Lego City.

Send him to the new Lego police station.

I also built this Lego fire truck and it's got lots of play features like this storage unit to put random things, this hose that can be pulled out,

and this ladder which can move in any direction and also extend.

instruction vehicle is a steamroller and it has a giant wheel on the front used to flatten roads.

I also built a tiny smart car and one of those tiny electric cars for kids.

It was always such a flex owning one of these.

And I also built this kid's toy car which I feel like I've seen at every daycare center.

Another simple vehicle is a bicycle.

I also went ahead and built one of the first ever bicycle designs over a hundred years ago.

For some reason both wheels weren't the same size.

Another vehicle is a motorcycle.

Like this one that I can imagine someone with a leather jacket and a bandana driving.

I also built this motorcycle which has a sidecar and this one called a slingshot.

Basically, it's a three -wheeled motorcycle that kind of looks like a car at the same time.

This one's called a monowheel and it's basically a one -wheeled motorcycle but you literally sit inside the wheel and drive it.

Another one -wheeled vehicle is a unicycle.

Another category of vehicles are off -road vehicles.

For example, this dune buggy or this all -terrain bike that can seat a single minifig.

I also built a truck.

I added some giant wheels on this one to turn it into a monster truck.

I also built a Lego mine cart and this hand car, which requires two people to pump this lever to move it forward.

Does a roller coaster count as a rail vehicle?

Probably not, but we're going to count it anyway.

What about animal powered vehicles like a wagon that gets pulled by horses?

Or what about just straight up riding a horse?

Another animal you can ride is an elephant.

You can also ride a camel, an ostrich, or if you're brave enough, a bull.

What about Mush!

Oh crap, wait.

No, no, no, there's a squirrel.

Don't look at the squirrel.

What about skiing?

Skiing's another mode of transportation. Or there's snowboarding.

Also, ice skating.

So here's some custom ice skate pieces that go on a minifig's legs.

And the final snow vehicle I built is this snowmobile.

I also built a go -kart, and I based this off one that I found in real life.

Here's one of those electric scooters that old people ride.

I remember being a kid and stealing my granddad's.

Okay, granny, let's see how fast you are.

Ready, set, go.

Okay, I upgraded it.

Now let's try it.

And there's other modes of transportation, like a wheelchair or a baby carriage.

If you really think about it, your legs are considered a mode of transportation.

Or what about piggyback riding another person?

That's a mode of transportation, right?

What about rollerblades or a skateboard?

Or what about a shopping park?

Here's a Lego scooter that I built with some basic Lego parts.

Here's a pogo stick.

Now there's actually an official Lego pogo stick piece, I could find was $300.

So because of that I built my own custom version using basic Lego pieces.

I also built a golf cart, a street sweeper that uses these special brush pieces, a Lego moon buggy which is actually based off of a real one that's on the moon right now,

and one of those giant lawnmowers that you sit on top of and drive.

This next vehicle is called a litter.

Basically you sit in a box and then people carry you.

Not gonna lie this seems really painful.

There's also this one called a rickshaw where you sit in a seat and someone pulls you.

Come on run!

Run faster, run faster.

And for the final land vehicle, here's a Lego tank.

It's got a giant gun on the top that can rotate, these rubber treads, and I built it in camo.

It's like you can't even see it.

And okay, I think that's a good amount of land vehicles we built.

The next element on our list is water, so let's begin with our water vehicles.

Here's a wooden canoe, a kayak, a rowboat, an inflatable raft boat, a gondola, which is a special type of boat from Italy,

an airboat, which is used in swamps and has a giant fan on the back to propel it forward.

and the sporty looking jet boat.

And here's a stand -up paddle board.

Here's a Lego surfboard, and to go with it, I built this cool wave using a bendable Lego trick.

And here's a windsurf board, which is like a normal surfboard, but with a sail on it.

I also built a Lego flyboard, which is basically a board you stand on and water shoots out the bottom and you can fly.

Here's a giant wooden pirate ship.

It comes with cannons, giant sails, and a plank.

It's an old Lego set from over 30 years ago.

100

What about a famous ship, like this Lego Titanic, 9 ,000 pieces.

101

This thing is so beautiful.

102

If anything bad happened to it, I'd literally cry.

103

Let's add it to our collection.

104

Thank you.

105

Oh crap!

106

And since we just looked at the Titanic, here's a Lego submarine.

107

This one's got a giant glass bubble on the front that you can lift open to put a minifig inside.

108

There's also several propellers and some giant fins in the back.

109

And now, for the final water vehicle, I want to build a Lego yacht.

110

So I quickly speed built this one with three separate levels

111

and we're about to fill it with all the goodness that a dream yacht could possibly need.

112

I started by turning the first floor into a bedroom and an office with a computer.

113

For the second level, I'm gonna build a dining room with a smoothie bar and a computer for people to make drinks.

114

And for the top deck, I'm gonna put a minifig up there driving the boat.

115

I'm also gonna give this boat its very own private DJ and some chairs in the back for people to sunbathe.

116

And there we go, our Lego yacht looks complete.

117

This is what every Lego person dreams to have.

118

And there you go, it looks like that completes all of our water vehicles.

119

Except the Titanic.

120

Um, that one imploded.

121

But before the air vehicles, it's time for a quick speed round of famous vehicles from movies and TV shows.

122

a burger turned into a car.

123

And to build the burger, I used the sideways building technique.

124

Here's Lightning McQueen and Mater from the Cars movie.

125

Thomas the Train from one of my childhood shows.

126

The Pizza Planet truck from Toy Story.

127

What about the flying rug from Aladdin?

128

That's technically a mode of transportation, right?

129

This next vehicle is the Mystery Machine from Scooby -Doo.

130

This thing was going to be way too hard to build because of all the detail, so I bought the Lego set.

131

And another Lego set I built is this X -Wing Starfighter from Star Wars.

132

It has movable wings, Skywalker.

133

Here's the Lego Toyota Supra from the first Fast and Furious movie, a gyrosphere from Jurassic World, which is a glass ball that you sit inside of and ride.

134

Here's a flying broomstick from Harry Potter.

135

And for my favorite vehicle of all, here's the Lego Batmobile.

136

It's got tons of features like massive wheels in the back and these giant wings.

137

And the third but final element on our list is air.

138

So let's build our air vehicles.

139

The first air vehicle on our list is a private jet.

140

a lot of money or be very important.

141

So here's a bunch of rich and important Lego celebrities, so we can load them into the plane and off we go to the next destination.

142

And for poor peasants that can't afford private jets, here's a commercial airplane that can fit way more passengers.

143

I also built a Lego attack helicopter with working propellers.

144

Next on the list, I built this Lego float plane, which is a plane designed to land and float on water.

145

Another air vehicle is a biplane, And to build it I used the satisfying bendable wall design.

146

I also built a Lego hang glider a jet pack that can go on a minifig and an umbrella I don't know.

147

I've seen people fly with these in the movies.

148

Also, here's a hot air balloon It's also one of the first air vehicles ever invented.

149

This next vehicle is a UFO It's got a tiny cockpit to seat an alien

150

and there's a hole on the bottom to suck up humans

151

Here's one of those human sized drones that people actually use to fly there's an official Lego drone piece

152

so I could put a minifig on top.

153

I also built this Lego fighter jet that you'd see in the military.

154

It's very tactical looking, it even comes with rockets.

155

And for the final air vehicle, I built this Lego space shuttle.

156

It's got several rockets in the back and adjustable wings.

157

And now that our 100th vehicle is finally complete, the time has come to combine them all together.

158

Let's go!

159

Oh my gosh, this feels so good.

160

I've been building for an entire week.

161

Look at this.

162

I could hardly fit all of them on the table.

163

This is our first video of 2024.

164

I got some banger projects for y 'all, and it's about to be a crazy year.

165

So thank you for watching, y 'all.

166

Stay blessed.

167

My heart's psycho, Lego said please don't break it.

168

I don't like mega blocks, please don't fake it.

169

Everything is lit, yeah, everything is awesome.

170

I'm building legal tricks, yo, and we never stop it.

Engaging with such stimulating content allows you to expand your vocabulary related to transportation, a common topic in everyday conversations. By watching and practicing alongside the speaker, you can develop fluency and confidence in describing various vehicles, whether they are land, water, or air based.

Utilizing a shadowing app or engaging in shadow speak is highly effective as it encourages replication of pronunciation and intonation directly from native speakers. This method can significantly improve your IELTS speaking practice, enabling you to sound more natural and articulate in your responses. As you learn English with YouTube, you’ll find that the excitement of building and discussing vehicles can keep you motivated throughout your learning journey.

Grammar & Expressions in Context

Several grammatical structures and expressions stand out in the video, which can help learners grasp how to form sentences more naturally:

Present continuous tense: The speaker frequently uses this tense, especially when stating, "I’m gonna be building..." This shows actions that are currently happening or planned, which is essential for conveying enthusiasm in conversations.
Modals of suggestion: Phrases like "What about..." are used to introduce ideas, creating a conversational flow. Such expressions are often seen in informal discussions and are useful for learners to make their speaking more engaging.
Descriptive adjectives: The use of adjectives to describe vehicles, like "iconic" and "tiny," enhances the detail in speech. Learning to incorporate descriptive language can help you speak more vividly, making your conversations more interesting.

Common Pronunciation Traps

While many of the terms in this video are straightforward, a few common pronunciation challenges may arise for English learners:

Automobile terms: Words like "Lamborghini," "ambulance," and "Formula One" can be tricky due to their length and combination of sounds. Pay attention to breaking these down into syllables to practice.
Vehicle names: Terms like "Cybertruck" and "lowrider" may be unfamiliar. Repeating them helps with familiarity and pronunciation accuracy. Utilize a shadowing app to listen and repeat.
Compound words: Pay special attention to words like “motorcycle” and “bicycle,” where blending sounds can lead to mispronunciation. Ensure you articulate each component clearly while practicing.

By focusing on these pronunciation traps and using the above techniques, you'll be well on your way to speaking English more confidently and effectively. Enjoy your journey in learning about vehicles while improving your English skills!

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	truck which has · ladder which can · motorcycle which has
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	can be pulled · are considered · is actually based
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	I've seen · has come
Future with “going to” be going to + verb — a plan or something you can see coming	gonna be · we're going to count · gonna lie

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
