Welcome guys.

Today we are learning English with five different vehicles.

Start the word count and let's go.

What's that thing you're touching?

This, this is my dog.

But this right here, this rubber part, rubber is a material.

This rubber part is called the tire.

This metal part is called the rim.

And this whole thing together,

the tire, the rim and all the other parts,

This is called a wheel.

Tire, the rim, and the wheel.

This part here is the winch and you can see there is a hook.

You have a hook here made out of metal and a metal cable that wraps around the winch right here.

What do you use a winch for?

A winch is meant to pull things or pull yourself.

So if this vehicle gets stuck you can attach this hook,

this winch, you can attach it to a big tree

and then you could pull yourself out

and remember guys this video is part of my 3 000

most common english word series designed to help you understand 95 of english through comprehensible input

if you come around here to this side this is a hood

and what does that cover so the hood covers the engine

so i'll show you real quick what did you just undo right there So these are latches.

These are hood latches meant to hold the hood down in place.

And why is something like that important?

This is important because without this the hood will fly open.

Has that ever happened to you?

That has happened.

This is the engine.

There's a lot of different parts and pieces in here.

So I'm not going to go over it because it's kind of complicated.

But this is the engine.

Are you going to get inside now?

Yeah, so you see this is the door handle right here and now I'm gonna hop in Literally,

oh Okay, come on in and we're gonna take this thing for a spin and teach you some more words.

Let's go So I'm just turning the key right now to start the vehicle More gas More gas

So, you know, this vehicle is kind of old,

so it's not really turning over.

Well, it is turning over, it's just not starting.

So we need to do a little fixing to get it started.

Okay guys, so we managed to start the vehicle.

This right here is the steering wheel and this right here is the gear shifter.

So what kind of transmission does this have?

This is a manual vehicle.

So manual means you have to shift the gears manually.

And manual is just the opposite of automatic.

So automatic, you wouldn't have to do this,

but because it's not automatic,

it's manual, you have to.

Okay, so now I'm opening the gate.

It's very high.

It's very high up.

We're gonna jump in.

It's not a very smooth ride is it?

No, it's very bumpy.

Okay guys, we've just arrived.

We drove down from the house and now we're in this field.

So if you come around back here.

Signal lights.

Yeah, so usually reverse lights are white.

They're white lights that go on when you reverse

but this vehicle isn't really like road legal

so there's no reverse lights there's just brake lights and signal lights

and this part right here is the bumper this is the

back bumper this is where you fuel up from from here

what kind of what kind of fuel does it use

so uh this just takes regular regular fuel it doesn't take premium it doesn't take diesel

and it doesn't take mid-grade it just takes regular which is the lowest grade of fuel there is,

which most vehicles take regular.

Right here, these right here are the shocks.

You can call them shocks or shock absorbers.

And if you come around to this side,

back in here, you can see all the gauges here.

We have a fuel gauge here.

I believe right here is a speedometer and a battery volt gauge.

And this part right here is the windshield of the vehicle.

This is called a windshield

and that's just to keep the bugs in the air from hitting you right in the face as you're driving.

This right here is called a seat belt or a safety belt

and that's just for your protection just in case you're in an accident.

So this right here is a side mirror

and there's one on each side

and usually in vehicles there's a rear view mirror right here but this vehicle does not have one.

And if you come around toward the front again you'll see shock absorbers and here you have your headlights.

You have your headlights here,

your grille right here, and then your front bumper.

So there's a front bumper and a back bumper.

Let's hop back in.

Hop back into the Jeep.

Oh.

What happened?

The battery is dead, so I can't start it.

You can hear it won't start.

The battery is dead here.

Doesn't sound good.

Does not sound good.

100

Yeah, we're gonna have to get something to charge the battery,

101

probably the quad or something.

102

Or jump the battery and then we can start it up.

103

So that means we have to walk.

104

You don't have a lot of luck with batteries, do you?

105

I would say no. We have to walk back up.

106

Probably grab the quad or what.

107

Maybe a car.

108

A car?

109

Yeah.

110

We can't drive a car down here.

111

Oh yeah. Which car?

112

The Golf.

113

The Golf?

114

Why not the quad?

115

The battery's too small.

116

Probably.

117

Well, we can try it.

118

I guess it's not that rough.

119

Okay, so we're going to go grab another vehicle and jump start this vehicle with the other vehicle.

120

So I guess you could see what jump starting is.

121

I guess let's start walking.

122

Okay guys, we just saw the Jeep and we kind of broke down

123

so now I'm going to explain to you different types of vehicles.

124

This right here, this type of vehicle is called an SUV.

125

What does SUV stand for?

126

SUV stands for Sport Utility Vehicle.

127

And SUVs are usually bigger than,

128

say, a vehicle like this.

129

This is called a hatchback.

130

This is a hatchback because the back opens up like this.

131

A car has a trunk like this that's separated from the cab.

132

But a hatchback as you can see the back opens up similar to an SUV

133

But it's smaller and this is a car the exact type of car is a coupe

134

because it only has two doors So this is a coupe and as you can see it's being repaired.

135

So there's no windows.

136

There's no windshield You can see the paint is faded.

137

There's no paint on here This is just primer.

138

So these are all cars You can call these all of these cars.

139

These are cars, but that

140

specific type of car you call an SUV That you call a coupe

141

and the other one you call a hatchback But all of these can also just be called cars.

142

You can also say vehicles What is this called?

143

This is called a windshield wiper a windshield wiper up top here

144

you can see this is a sunroof this is a sunroof

145

because it can open up and you can see the sun

146

and it lets air in from the top not every vehicle has a sunroof

147

so now before i take this vehicle out

148

and show you more words let's have a mini quiz write your answers in the comments

149

and i'll also put the correct answers in the comments what is this called what is this glass part called

150

what is this part attached to the glass called what are these called

151

and what are these used for what is this called what

152

is this called what are these called what is this part right here called

153

okay so the mini quiz is over now

154

but uh one more thing this right here this this is called a license plate this is a license plate

155

and you can see Alberta is the province

156

so this is a license plate now let's pull the vehicle

157

out of the garage the building we're in right now is called the garage

158

and it stores vehicles and other things that you don't want to keep inside your house

159

There are three buttons on this key.

160

The lock button, the trunk release button, and the unlock button.

161

So now I'm gonna unlock unlock the vehicle and now I'm going to open the door and I'm going to get in.

162

Now there are two ways to start this vehicle.

163

The first is you can put the key in the ignition and you can turn the key.

164

You can turn the key.

165

The second way is to push on the start engine button.

166

So now I'm going to start the engine.

167

So I started the engine by turning the key.

168

Now I'm going to put my seat belt on and I'm going to put the vehicle in reverse.

169

You see reverse and now I'm going to reverse.

170

Now I'm going to put the vehicle in park.

171

Now the vehicle's in park.

172

So there's park, reverse, neutral, drive, and sport mode.

173

So if I'm driving and someone cuts me off,

174

I can honk the horn.

175

I can honk the horn.

176

Right now I'm sitting on a seat.

177

This is a seat and this is a headrest.

178

This is a headrest.

179

Right here,

180

right here this is the glove compartment

181

and you can put things inside the glove compartment this area right here is my center console

182

and this is an armrest

183

and there's also an armrest on this side this right here is a sun visor

184

and i could pull it down to block the sun

185

and i could also put it to the side

186

and bring down the other one to block the sun when i'm driving a sun visor

187

So this right here is a speedometer,

188

that is a speedometer, and this is a tachometer,

189

and that just counts your RPMs.

190

And down here, you have your brake pedal and your gas pedal.

191

This is your brake pedal,

192

and this is your gas pedal.

193

And this right here is your parking brake.

194

This is your parking brake.

195

And to release your parking brake, you pull right here.

196

And now let's go back and fix the Jeep.

197

Okay so here we got the jumper cables.

198

Now there's two colors here.

199

There's a red and a black and you'll see right now why we need to know the difference between those.

200

So here this is the engine of the Golf and you can see it's running right now.

201

And this is the battery so we're going to attach these jumper cables to this battery

202

and then to this battery and then now we'll jump start it.

203

That's good there.

204

Black.

205

Now key on.

206

Check your voltage.

207

Voltage is good.

208

I'll crank it.

209

Now we have the two vehicles running.

210

The Jeep and the Golf.

211

So we're going to hop in these and head back to the house now.

212

Okay, Leon is now driving away in the Jeep.

213

And now it's my turn.

214

I'm going to drive the Golf back up.

215

I have to make sure to not pop any tires, so let's go.

216

I'll put you guys down right there.

217

We're back in the Jeep here.

218

Leon is driving.

219

And now we're gonna go into the field over here.

220

Yeah, so as you can see,

221

the Jeep died in the middle of the forest here.

222

So, we're in the forest.

223

I'm not sure if you can hear those geese,

224

but there's some geese flying overhead.

225

It died again, and I guess once it dies,

226

the battery does not want to kick back in, so...

227

So, we have to leave the Jeep here now

228

and walk back again again so uh i guess let's start walking back through the forest to get back home

229

hold it like in the crocs hold it like

230

that the whole way

231

but you can see the trees are starting to change color before they were green

232

and now they're turning yellow and it's very beautiful

233

this is bark this is called bark i just ripped a piece of bark off

234

but i am these woodpeckers I've been going ham.

235

Oh yeah, woodpecker.

236

What you guys up to, Lavi?

237

Well, the Jeep died out in the forest again.

238

So now we have to go and jumpstart it again.

239

Well, it's a good thing I raced you guys,

240

being able to figure these things out on your own.

241

So, at least now we know there's a problem with the Jeep battery because as soon as it died both times,

242

they didn't want to start again.

243

So let's go.

244

It's chilly.

245

It's a tiny little battery.

246

I don't even know if it'll have enough juice.

247

Okay guys so Leon took off with the Jeep

248

so I'm gonna just put this quad seat back together and then I'm gonna head back to the house as well. Where did this go?

249

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.
