Ew, ew, ew.
99
This has actually, like, a mild anchovy taste in a good way.
100
I wish Whole Foods would sell something like this.
101
Even the Whole Foods kimchi is, like, not very good.
102
The egg is really good, too.
103
Is there barbecue on my face?
104
Yep.
105
Next I have my egg wrapped kimchi How is it?
106
Too much stuff in it It's like kimchi,
107
corn, this tuna, mayo things I'm confused I have a feeling that
108
if I heat it up it's gonna be better I feel
109
like the Korean savory things are always slightly sweet The tuna is sweet and the mayo is sweet,
110
the corn is sweet.
111
I think the best thing here is the egg and the kimchi.
112
Let's try the matcha strawberry latte.
113
This tastes exactly like what I thought it would, but actually better.
114
Yeah, it tastes exactly like what I thought it would,

121
Imitation crab.
122

157
Pre-microwave, 3 out of 10.
158
Post-microwave, 4.
159
Yeah, 4.
160
I will say the barbecue chicken was an 8,
161
but because of how much of a mess it made,
162
it would minus 1.
163
I liked the kimchi a lot too.
164
Too much flavor.
165
I think the kimchi was like a solid 9 for me.
166
We'll see you guys for our next meal.

283
So far, CU has been the winner.
284
So let's see about GS25.
285
GS25 seems like the smallest budget out of all of them.
286
I was hella hammered yesterday.
287
I think GS25 probably means go stop for 25 minutes.
288
Yes, you.
289
Oh, no more seats.

350
Oh my god.
351
More for us.
352
So far, every convenience store has been out of everything in the glass containers.

So guys, I'm keeping my packaged chicken fresh on a streak.
355
Ooh, this looks good.
356
With the egg?
357

373
There's no soy sauce that comes with it, though.
374
Unless I missed it.
375

377
Wait, look at this egg.

The truffle is even tasty.
385
I got this Edward Lee mac and cheese,
386

413
It's like Creamsicle.
414
Ew, you have a teeth walker.
415

417
Because banana goes with ice cream.
418
Try it.
419
It's pretty good.
420
I always like chili.
421
I don't think I have the same palate as you guys.
422
But I like that the shell is a little bitter,
423
so it tastes a little more realistic.
424
Almost like a grapefruit.
425
Everyone feed the person to the right.
426
I want to feed the person to the left.
427
I think mine's the best.
428

Why practice speaking with this video?
Improving your English speaking skills is essential for effective communication, and practicing with engaging content can make the learning process enjoyable. This video, titled "EATING at KOREAN CONVENIENCE STORES for 24 HOURS," provides a lively context where the speakers explore various Korean convenience store foods. By using this video, you can immerse yourself in real-life conversations that reflect natural speech patterns, slang, and cultural nuances. This brings a dynamic element to learning, making it a perfect choice to learn English with YouTube.
The casual, conversational style of the speakers allows learners to practice the shadowing technique, where you mimic the speakers' intonation and rhythm, greatly enhancing your speaking abilities. Such practice not only boosts pronunciation but also self-confidence in speaking English.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Several key expressions and grammatical structures from the transcript illustrate everyday English usage:
- “I think they have...” - This phrase is useful for making predictions or stating opinions, which is common in conversational English.
- “This looks like a good amount of protein...” - The structure used here shows how we can evaluate food or objects. This is a practical expression for dining conversations.
- “What did they heat it up for you?” - This construction highlights a great way to inquire about services, a useful skill when dining out or ordering food.
- “I wanted a sweet potato.” - The past tense used in this sentence helps convey desires or regrets about past actions, facilitating discussions about choices and preferences.
Common Pronunciation Traps
In this video, learners may encounter specific words and phrases that can be challenging to pronounce:
- Korean food names - Words like “mandu” and “kimchi fried rice” may be tricky due to their unique sounds and accents. Practicing these terms can improve your fluency and confidence.
- Food descriptors - Phrases such as “spicy sesame dumpling” may also present pronunciation difficulties, particularly for non-native speakers. Break these phrases down into syllables for practice.
- Casual phrases - The speakers use phrases like “What did they heat it up for you?” Practice the rhythm and intonation as these structures reflect natural, everyday conversation.
Utilizing a shadow speech or shadowing app while watching this video will allow you to efficiently enhance your pronunciation and conversational skills. By focusing on challenging words and phrases, you can develop a more authentic speaking style.
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.
