2
see so many people online wanting to travel lately.
3
Same here, I want to travel all the day.
4
Yeah, but the thing is since I'm a little bit older than you, it's...
5
And how I see things,
6
it's really important to travel when you're young.
7
And it's a little bit challenging because you have to save a ton of money and then also the time factor.
8
So it's a little problematic,
9
but I think it's doable.
10
But do you know that it is possible for us to travel just one day across all over Vietnam?
11
It's possible.
12
Physically, no. But I think virtually,
13
like if we were to go on YouTube and then search through YouTube,
14
I think we can travel in one day.
15
Nope, nope, that's not what I mean.
16
Because today I have a plan.
17
I'm gonna take you to travel all across Vietnam in just one day and you're gonna be really surprised.
18
Just one day?
19
Yes.
20
Alright, let's do it Vy.
21
What V?
22
Hey, wake up.
23
Dustin, you have been sleeping for so long.
24
Wake up.
25
No, I just want to sleep a little bit.
26
I just dozed off, V.
27
I'm falling asleep.
28
I'm tired.
29
Let me sleep a little bit more.
30
But wait, there's something happening right now.
31
What?
32
You are teleported in the nick of town, Dustin.
33
And look at the surroundings.
34
Oh.
35
What am I wearing?
36
What are we doing?
37
What's going on?
38
We are in Đắc Lộc Tây Nguyên.
39
We're in Nac Lạc.
40
We're in the Highland Central of Vietnam.
41
That's right.
42
We are here to discover ethnic minorities in Vietnam.
43
And welcome to Đắc Lộc Tây Nguyên.
44
You will be staying here for a week.
45
And there is no plane tickets.
46
There is nothing for you to go back to Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi.
47
So welcome to Đắc Lộc.
48
Hold on, hold on.
49
Let me explain to the camera.
50
There's a lot to take in right now.
51
So I'm taking things and I'm absorbing it.
52
So I just mentioned gnawed off or dozed off, I fell asleep.
53
And V just mentioned nick of time.
54
If something is in the nick of time, it's real fast.
55
You just teleported here.
56
But V...
57
What am I wearing?
58
This is crazy!
59
We're really in...
60
Yeah, traditional custom of Ba, Na, ethnic minority.
61
Oh, joy.
62
Oh, V, oh, this is surreal.
63
This is crazy right now.
64
You know, like, culture shock?
65
Do you know the culture shock?
66
Like when you were too shocked at the new culture.
67
Yeah, yeah culture shock you guys So if you're traveling to a different country
68
or a different group of people right now worth ethnic minorities,
69
it's very surprising I'm shocked right now.
70
So we're culture shock.
71
Wow joy.
72
Oh, this is a I love this outfit Wow, it is so cool.
73
I mean, I'm not sweating anymore more.
74
In the nick of time.
75
So what does this mean?
76
It means you just finish something with barely any time left.
77
For example, I have a big essay tomorrow and you know what?
78
I didn't think I was going to finish it,
79
but I finished it in the nick of time.
80
I turned it in and I got a 10 on it.
81
You're pulling my leg.
82
Are we really in the class?
83
Umm, kind of, kind of.
84
Kind of?
85
No, you're totally pulling my leg.
86
Where are we?
87
Ok, but real quick.
88
So I just mentioned pull somebody's leg.
89
That means kidding, joking, or kind of playing around with these lying to me a little bit,
90
but in a fun way.
91
Pull somebody's leg.
92
So what does this mean?
93
If you pull somebody's leg,
94
literally it means you're actually pulling on their leg,
95
but we're not doing this.
96
We just mean you're joking,
97
you're having fun, you're being silly with somebody.
98
So for example, the other day I was working with V and she was pulling my leg all day.
99
She was in a great mood and just joking all day long.
100
I didn't really like it though.
101
I thought we were going to get into a drink,
102
but what's going on now?
103

Alright, so there are two confusing words that I don't know how to pronounce.
161
Okay, let's hear it.
162
Can you swim?
163
I can swim.
164
But I can't swim.
165
I know you can't swim,
166
but I know we're going with this.
167
Can and can't.
168
So can, a little bit longer, and can't.
169
Sometimes we drop the T, but can't, can.
170
So Dustin can swim.
171
I can swim.
172
But V can't swim.
173
V can't swim.
174
V can't swim.
175
No, you can't.
176
I can do it.
177
I can also do it,
178
but you still can't swim V.
179
Sometimes I can't do it.
180
You can't do it.
181
Oh, okay, so can and can't.
182
Dôm.
183
Sơn liếp chào bì nàng.

188
Hiểu.
189
Hiểu.
190
Hiểu.
191
Dôm rồi.
192
We are at the Thai group house and we have our beautiful lady here.
193
Her name is Kim Xuén.
194
Say hi to cô.
195
I'm sorry.
196
Kim Xuén.
197
Kim Xuén.
198
That's right.
199
Cô ơi, so do you know what our people are most important to live in the area?
200
Our people are mostly in the area in the south,
201
like Lạng Sơn, Cao Bằng,
202
Bắc Cạn, Thái Nguyên, Tuyên Quang, Yên Bái, Hà Giang.
203
The people are most important to live in those areas.
204
They're raven cats
205
So we have brown pork here with mushroom,
206
cat's ear as I believe.
207
What is it?
208
What is it?
209
Yeah, it can be a cat's ear.
210
You don't know that?
211
I don't know.
212
Vietnam has so many plants and vegetables that I've just never seen before.
213
So it's like coming here.
214
I don't know.
215
I'm sure it tastes good though.
216
This is bamboo.
217
We're going to put the ground inside the bamboo.
218
So stuff it in the bamboo.
219
Yeah, stuff it in.
220
Stuff it in.
221
That's right.
222
This is the măng, first I go to the store and choose a măng.
223
It's really delicious.
224
Then I soak it.
225
Then I soak it.
226
Then I soak it in the pot.
227
Then I soak it all.
228
Then I've prepared these things.
229
Then I put it in.
230
Yes.
231
Okay, okay.
232
Yes.
233
So they're gonna steam it.
234
So steam it, okay.
235
So they're gonna fill it up with water?
236
Yes.
237
boil it then?
238
That's right.
239
Because I hear, look, look, I'm being boiled.
240
Do you understand if I say like Gordon Ramsay has nothing on me?
241
It means that he has no impact on you or like you don't like his recipes?
242
Well, like for example, because you know,
243
I think I'm an exceptional chef.
244
And like when I say somebody has nothing on me,
245
I'm referring to like, I'm way better than they are.
246
Oh, okay.
247
For example, I'm a native English speaker,
248
I'm like, you got nothing on me when it comes to speaking English.
249
I'm just referring to like,
250
I'm just in another league.
251
But clearly that's just the example.
252
I know it's your second language.
253
You could say like for you,
254
like say taking pictures being like somehow.
255
Yeah.
256
You have nothing on me.
257
I'm getting this switched around now.
258
Oh, that's right, Dustin.
259
You have nothing on me regarding taking pictures.
260
Yes, doom, doom.
261
And cooking.
262
I think it's gonna be a really good dish with veggies,
263
with meat and no oil.
264
So it's gonna be really healthy as well.
265
I love it.
266
Somebody has nothing on you.
267
So what does this mean?
268
It means that you're better than somebody or you think you're better than somebody or somebody else is better than somebody.
269
So for example, I like to cook and I like to say Gordon Ramsay has nothing on me.
270
So Gordon Ramsay being a famous chef and me being a very mediocre chef and I'm not very good because I'm kidding,
271
has nothing on me.
272
So this is my type of cooking.
273
I'm a big meat eater so I prefer eating some sort of animal.
274
But right now we're grilling or you can say roasting the chicken over an open fire.
275
It's a slow cook, because right now you can see the stick jammed through the chicken,
276
and I have to slowly rotate it because I don't want to burn the sides.
277
And you can say, char the meat where it's black,
278
because most people don't like the black meat,
279
even though it's good, but it's not good for you.
280
So I've got to make sure I don't ruin this
281
because everyone's going to get mad at me if I ruin the chicken.
282
Because I think we have one chicken.
283
I prefer three chickens or four chickens,
284
but it's okay for the circumstances.
285
But I'm going to get back to cooking, you guys.
286
I'm sorry.
287
I'm sorry.
288
I'm sorry.
289
I'm sorry.
290
This is a bread, right?
291
It's soy.
292
It's soy.
293
Then I put it on and I put the bag of the bag.
294
I put it on and I put it on and it's hot.
295
Then I put it on and I put it on and I put it on.
296
Brown, red, orange, yeah.
297
So since we're pounding it, we're also twisting it.
298
I think we're going to turn it into like a mash.

Yes, bánh dây.
305
They look like a lot of things.
306
Purple pancakes.
307
Okay, no, I'm curious though.
308
I want to know more about the ethnic minorities.
309
In Vietnam, you guys have 54, right?
310
That's right, 54.
311
Okay.
312
Anyway, how many races are there in the USA?
313
Well, races, there's only a handful of races.
314
So, the US would have all the races,
315
but you'd want to break it down to ethnicities.
316
So ethnicities, oh, I have no idea
317
because they call the U.S like a melting pot or a salad bowl because all the people are living together,
318
which is kind of true,
319
kind of not true because they live together in the U.S.,
320
but they live kind of in their own communities.
321
So it's not like a lot of blending in that sense.
322
I heard the melting pot terms a lot of times and yeah,
323
and in a way I love the diversity of every country.
324
So okay, Okay, so now we eat?
325
Yeah, I think so.
326
Okay, sounds good.
327
and then we'll get a drink.
328
Yeah, come on.
329
Alright.
330
So if we want to say thank you to them in their language,
331
we'll say, Pion bai.
332
Pion bai.
333
Pion bai.
334
Yeah, come on.
335
Does it go to your hat?
336
Bintog.
337
Bintog.
338
Bintog.
339
Is it kicking in?
340
Does it go to your hat yet?
341
Like, is it kicking in, going to my head?
342
I haven't eaten much, so it's not going to take a lot of alcohol for me to get a little tipsy.
343
But real quick, let me explain to the camera.
344
So V just mentioned kicking in.
345
If something is kicking in, it's like starting.
346
For this situation, I'm starting to feel the alcohol.
347
And as it gone to my head,
348
the alcohol, if I'm starting to feel a little bit sick,
349
and what else did I just say?
350
Tipsy.
351
Yeah.
352
And I just mentioned the word tipsy.
353
Tipsy is like a little bit drunk when the alcohol just starts to kick in.
354
It's gone to your head a little bit.
355
Okay.
356
Yo, mo chum pan chum.
357
All right.
358
Anyway, I feel a little bit tipsy because I haven't eaten anything this morning.
359
I know.
360
So should we dive in?
361
Yes, we're going to dive in.
362
Alright.
363
Number two.
364
Two confusing words.
365
Fate and destiny.
366
Okay, so fate and destiny.
367
Fate is something you cannot change.
368
In destiny, you're meant to have this.
369
Oh, so like, for instance,
370
I'm satisfied with my fate.
371
Okay.
372
And my destiny is to be rich.
373
Sure, if you want your destiny to be that, that's okay.
374
So fate and destiny.
375
So guys, I'm not tipsy anymore.
376
When you say someone is tipsy,
377
it means that he's slightly drunk But when someone is smashed or wasted it means he's super super drunk.
378
He's very drunk and Dustin is a perfect illustration of the word smashed and wasted
379
Dustin you are freaking wasted right now Get up!
380
I'm fucking no!
381
We have to go back to Hanoi in ten minutes No,
382
five minutes V for five minutes.
383
Five minutes V, five minutes.
384
Five minutes, V, five minutes.

Why practice speaking with this video?
This video offers a unique opportunity to improve your English speaking skills by immersing yourself in a real-life conversation about travel within Vietnam. The engaging dialogue between the speakers provides a natural context in which to practice. By listening and participating in the discussion, learners can enhance their fluency and comprehension.
Utilizing the shadowing technique, you can mimic the speakers' intonation, rhythm, and pronunciation. This approach allows you to improve your English pronunciation while absorbing vocabulary and expressions associated with travel and adventure. It encourages not just passive learning but active speaking practice, making you more equipped to express your thoughts in real-time conversations.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
In the video, several key expressions and grammatical structures stand out:
- “It is possible”: This phrase sets a positive tone for discussing possibilities. It's useful when you want to express that something isn't only theoretical.
- “I think it’s doable”: The use of “doable” emphasizes the practical implications of a task. This term is often used in informal settings to suggest that something can be done with effort.
- “Let me explain”: A helpful phrase when you need to elaborate on a point. It indicates to listeners that more details are coming.
- “What are we doing?”: This question reflects curiosity and invites engagement. It’s an excellent way to prompt discussion or inquiry during conversations.
By practicing these structures, learners can gain confidence in their speaking abilities while exploring new topics related to travel and adventure.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While watching the video, you might encounter some pronunciation challenges. Here are a few tips:
- “Vietnam”: The correct pronunciation is crucial. Focus on the vowel sounds; many learners tend to shorten the vowels.
- “Đắc Lộc Tây Nguyên”: This phrase involves unique sounds found in Vietnamese that may be challenging for English speakers. Practice pronouncing it carefully, breaking it down into syllables.
- “teleported”: Pay attention to the placement of the stress. It’s commonly mispronounced as three syllables by non-native speakers, but it should flow smoothly as two syllables.
Engaging with these pronunciation traps not only enhances your ability to communicate but also fosters improved English pronunciation overall. Remember to utilize shadow speech techniques by repeating after the speakers to master these tricky terms. Using elements from the video on your language learning journey will enable you to learn English with YouTube effectively.
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.
