Let me close this door.
3
This is a hard wood door.
4
You can hear it's very thick, very thick and strong
5
and sturdy this is a sturdy door now I'm going to lock the door
6
and I'm going to lock it as well with the dead bolt lock this is just a safety lock
7
so that if someone tries to open it this latch will stop the door from opening
8
and this right here is a dead bolt lock.
9
This is my key card.
10
My key card.
11
This is used to open the door.
12
Now I'm sure you're probably wondering and thinking to yourself what is in my hand and I'm about to show you.
13
So let's walk over or go over to the dining table and let me show you what we have here.
14
You can see my mom's over there.
15
It's probably blown out but you can come over to the dining table.

19
So here you can see with your eyes, we have an assortment of different products and foods.
20
Here we have food that we delivered.
21
So we went on an app and we ordered this food
22
and then someone came on a scooter and delivered it to us.
23
This is like delivery.
24
If you were to go to the restaurant and pick it up and not eat it at the restaurant, that is called takeout.
25
And if you were to eat in the restaurant, that would be dine in.
26
So delivery, takeout, and dine in.
27
Here you can see we have different fruits.
28
What did you do to this watermelon, mom?
29
How would you describe this process that you did here?
30
I sliced the watermelon.
31
Yes, so she sliced or cut the watermelon into these triangle shapes.
32
Yes, that one I sliced and this one I removed the skin of these pieces of watermelon.
33
Yeah, and here you can see this is mango.
34
This was filled to the brim here, but I like mango so I was eating it.
35
And you can see it is really soft.
36
That's just because the mango is very ripe.
37
So it's really sweet right now.
38
But how would you describe this piece of watermelon?
39
How would you describe this piece of watermelon?
40
This piece of watermelon looks very juicy.
41
This piece of watermelon is red and green, red and green.
42
And there are also black seeds in the watermelon.
43
And finally, this watermelon is sweet.
44
It is sweet.
45
And after I eat it, I believe I will feel very refreshed.
46
Now tell me this action.
47
What action is this from these three options? So that was eating.
48
I was eating the watermelon.
49
It wasn't cooking and it wasn't drinking.
50
It was eating.
51
Now you said you wanted to get a glass of water, mom?
52
Yes, I'm short one glass of water.
53
I filled up two.
54
I'm going to fill up another glass from this water dispenser.
55
Okay, so you can see she's pressing in this button and then water is coming out.
56
So she just filled up this glass of water.
57
It is almost full, but it's not full to the brim.
58
But it is almost full.
59
Anyway, let's bring that to the table and let's open up the three dishes we got to see which one's the best.
60
Okay so what are the three dishes we have here?
61
I believe one is pho, the other is bun cha and then banh mi.
62
Did you get any dessert or no?
63
The fruits, the dessert.
64
Yeah so Leon ordered these.
65
Now I believe this is the pho.
66
Oh yeah.
67
So this pho, how would you describe this container?
68
What kind of container is this?
69
This is a paper or cardboard container with a plastic lid.
70
Now what am I doing?
71
I'm taking off the plastic lid
72
and now I'm going to place the plastic lid to the side and I'm going to move my water.
73
Now I'm going to open this plastic bag and take out these thin pieces of bread.
74
And finally I'm going to open up the last plastic bag.
75
This plastic bag has the noodles and I'm going to dump the noodles into the soup.
76
So here we have our soup, our pho, and these are chopsticks.
77
Whoa these are actually thick chopsticks.
78
Yeah.
79
That's kind of nice.
80
It has been sitting for a while so the noodles have stuck together
81
but I think if we let them soak for a bit they'll loosen up enough
82
so that we can eat the noodles easily.
83
Do you usually add chili in your fall?
84
I do.
85
I do like it more spicy.
86
For me I usually like my soups and dishes spicy
87
but I think for fall specifically I prefer it without Same thing with fried rice.
88
I prefer those two dishes without any additional spice.
89
What about you?
90
Do you prefer to always add spice to your food?
91
Or only sometimes, or never?
92
Can you eat spicy food?
93
I love eating spicy food, and I think I handle it well.
94
Some people may disagree, but in my opinion, I could eat anything spicy.
95
There's a piece of lime as well.
96
I think we can open up all the dishes, all the dishes have them all here
97
and you guys can see all the dishes I'll bring you guys a little bit closer

110
Hey, Ava, it just started raining and I'm having trouble finding my taxi driver.
111
Could you help me?
112
Hello, this is your driver.
113
I'm stuck behind a blue van near the corner.
114
Can you see me?
115
I'm standing right outside of the east entrance here.
116
Excellent job communicating your location.
117
Are you standing right next to the big glass doors at that entrance?
118
No, actually, I'm standing right in front of the H&M logo.
119
Do you see me?
120
Great job being so specific.
121
Instead of H&M logo, it sounds even more natural to say the H&M storefront.
122
Do you see my white Toyota with the hazard lights on right across the street?
123
I'm looking across the street, but I don't see a white Toyota with hazard lights on.
124
It is very busy today, and there are a lot of vehicles on the road.
125
That was a perfect description of the scene.
126
Instead of on the road, you could say stuck in traffic for more detail.
127
Do you see a car pulling up near the bus stop now?
128
Oh, actually, yeah, I do.

136
Okay, so what other dishes do we have to prepare here?
137
We have the bun cha.
138
Ah, so here you can see this is a styrofoam bowl.
139
The other bowl was a cardboard bowl.
140
This is a styrofoam bowl.
141
One thing I would like to say is you can never put this in a microwave because it will catch on fire.
142
And this is a very flimsy plastic lid.
143
You can see it's very flimsy.
144
You see, very very flimsy.
145
Okay, this is the fish sauce.
146
I'm going to pour it in.
147
Should we take out the sprinkle?
148
Yeah, you can put it to the side here.
149
And now pour that fish sauce in the bunshak.
150
Because this is how the dish comes.
151
This is one of my favorite dishes.
152
I really love this dish.
153
It's quite delicious.
154
Yes.
155
So yeah, now we have the buncha, the pho, and this is also part of the buncha.
156
I think you could put it on this plate.
157
Absolutely.
158
This is just a small white plate.
159
Small white plate.
160
Now I'm going to place it down on the table.
161
I'm going to tip out the noodles.
162
You can pass that bag.
163
I'm putting all the garbage here, so.
164
That's one thing when you do get takeout, It does create a lot of garbage.
165
And the bun cha also comes with these greens.
166
I'll put it in this bowl here.
167
It kind of fell on the table, but...
168
The table was clean.
169
Yeah.
170
And then last, but certainly not least, we have the banh mi.
171
And we picked all Vietnamese dishes.
172
So this is a Hanoi style banh mi.
173
Let me open it up and show you guys what's inside.
174
Wow, this actually looks good.
175
It looks like there's some egg, some sausage, and some greens.
176
So these are all our dishes.
177
What do you want to start with, Mom?
178
Oh, I think you should start with the pho.
179
Let me try a piece of meat first.
180
Mmm!
181
Now let's try the pho.
182
Let's try the pho and see how good the pho is.
183
Let's try some meat.
184
Oh, this looks like a brisket.
185
Beef brisket.
186
Mmm!
187
Now let me try some of the broth.
188
Good.
189
The meat is very tender.
190
The beef is tender.
191
It's not very chewy.
192
You don't have to chew a lot.
193
It's very tender, soft, and the broth is very clear and delicious.
194
There's a lot of flavor.
195
You can also take these, which are very hard pieces of bread, and dip it in there and then eat it as well.
196
And then lastly we have the banh mi.
197
The banh mi.
198
So here we have the banh mi.
199
My mom cut it into three pieces.
200
So this is Hanoi style.
201
From looking into the inside of it, I can see sausage, egg, some other type of meat,
202
lettuce, cucumbers, lettuce, tomatoes, maybe onions.
203
I can't really tell.
204
I wonder if they put some of that liver spread on it too.
205
Maybe.
206
But the thing I love the most about banh mi is the bread.
207
The bread I think is delicious.
208
Here you can try one as well.
209
Let's try it together.
210
Cheers.
211
Cheers.
212
Let's do it.
213
Mmm.
214
It has the liver sausage too.
215
Okay, so right now we are watching some TV after eating and here you can see we have the other snacks.
216
So can you tell me mom, what snacks do we have here?
217
We have some local snacks that we don't get in Canada.
218
This is baked prawn with melted cheese.
219
That's one that's going to be interesting.
220
And then nori seaweed lays chips.
221
And then here, coconut flavor peanut.
222
Apparently, they get covered with this outer coconut flavor layer of something.
223
That looks interesting.
224
All three of these snacks look very good.
225
These two are chips, and this is peanuts.
226
Can you give me three differences between these two bags of Lay's chips?
227
Write your answers in the comments.
228
So first of all the bags are different colors.
229
They are also different flavors and finally they are different sizes.
230
You can see the bag of chips on the right is bigger, bigger than the bag on the left.
231
Let me know if you guys had similar answers to me or different answers.
232
You can see we also have some remotes here.
233
Some are for the TV, some are for the AC, and others are for this light.
234
And on the left here, we have a bowl of watermelon that my mom sliced up for us.
235
And we also have a bowl of mango.
236
Now, what do you call this type of table that is usually near your sofa?
237
What is this type of table called?
238
What is the name of it?
239
This is a coffee table.
240
A coffee table.
241
So now let's try these snacks.
242
If you want to learn faster, get the workbook for this video on my website.
243
It includes deeper explanations and exercises to help you remember and master what you learned.
244
What do you want to try first?
245
Let's try the two potato chips. Which one?
246
I think this bigger green bag.
247
Was it nori?
248
Nori seaweed.
249
The chips themselves kind of look like dill pickle chips.
250
And I like dill pickle chips, but I know it's not going to taste like dill pickle.
251
I forgot.
252
Asian chips are different.
253
In North America, we open the chips like this, but in Asia, you have to peel the bag like this.
254
I'm learning something new today.
255
It's really hard to open the chip.
256
I think it's because our portion sizes are really big in America and North America.
257
So we open it to the top and close it and keep it.
258
What about small chips though?
259
Because I didn't see here in the shop like super, super size bags.
260
So here you can see this is what the inside of the chip bag looks like.
261
The inside is this silver like chrome color and it reflects the chips.
262
And you can see this bag is about half full.
263
So it's half filled with chips and the other half is air.
264
This is essentially what most chips look like when you open the bag.
265
Now let's try these.
266
Would you like to try them first?
267
Let's try them together.
268
Okay.
269
Three, two, one.
270
Very seaweed-y.
271
Very.
272
It's kind of sweet.
273
Yeah.
274
It's slightly sweet and has like a fishy seaweed taste to it.
275
Not my favorite, not my favorite.
276
My two favorite brands, I have two.
277
Can you guess one of them?
278
Brands?
279
I'm not sure, but I know what kind of...
280
What kind?
281
Flavor you like.
282
You like ketchup?
283
Yeah.
284
And the other one?
285
I like a lot of different flavors, so I wouldn't really say I have like a favorite flavor, but I do love ketchup chips.
286
Let me know, have you ever tried ketchup chips?
287
And if you haven't, would you try them?
288
And if you have tried them, did you like them or not?
289
But I'll tell you now my two favorite brands are Miss Vicky's.
290
I'm sure you could have guessed that one.
291
They're so crispy and crunchy.
292
They're so crunchy.
293
They're really good.
294
My other favorite brand is Arriba.
295
Those chips, I've never seen chips so coated with flavor.
296
It's just pure flavor.
297
They're so so so good.
298
I think those are my favorite and then Miss Vicky's are my second favorite.
299
I have to add they are a taste bud killer.
300
They do kill your taste buds.
301
Oh no, they rejuvenate my taste buds and my soul.
302
Okay, so there you go.
303
That was a little bit sweet and seaweedy-like.
304
Yeah, we'll give that to Leon later.
305
He'll finish them all, so don't worry.
306
We're not gonna waste it.
307
Now let's open this other bag.
308
This is a very Asian kind of chip because it is, yes.
309
Baked prawn?
310
Baked prawn.
311
I don't know.
312
The cheese on it is a little bit different.
313
This one's better.
314
This one is a lot sweeter though.
315
It's way sweeter.
316
Tastes like prawns.
317
It's completely different than North American dull pickle and barbecue and that kind of flavors.
318
And all season, we have all season.
319
Oh sorry, all dressed.
320
That's Canadian thing right?
321
Yeah it's only in Canada.
322
We have all dressed chips and they're really good.
323
Yeah in Canada we have like unique chip flavors.
324
For example ketchup chips and all dressed chips.
325
Those two flavors of chips are very, very good.
326
I'm sure we can get used to it.
327
These ones were good.
328
These ones?
329
Those ones were not good.
330
It's too bad that was a big bag.
331
They didn't have a big bag of those ones.
332
But it's very unique, though.
333
It's good to try it.
334
It's a very unique Vietnamese chip flavor.
335
Now let me open up this other thing.
336
And let me know, if you're Vietnamese or have been to Vietnam, what is your flavor of chips?
337
And I will go and try them.
338
Maybe I'll do a full chip review.
339
Maybe pour them in my hand.
340
Let's have a look at them.
341
Okay.
342
Kind of feel light.
343
Yeah.
344
So they're like a circular shape and they're very hard.
345
So I assume they're going to be quite crunchy.
346
Let's try them.
347
I smell a little bit coconutty.
348
I don't know if you can hear that.
349
Super crunchy.
350
They're not sweet that I like.
351
A little bit, but they're yummy.
352
I like the crunch on them.
353
So we've just tried the three package snacks.
354
Out of all three of those, this bag of chips was my favorite.
355
Yeah, the baked prawn.
356
Yeah, those were the best.
357
What about you?
358
What was your favorite?
359
From the chips, I like the baked prawn the most.
360
And I don't mind these peanuts.
361
I like the crispy, crackling kind of sound that they make when you chew.
362
But chips make the same sound, do they not?
363
Not as extreme.
364
Listen.
365
No, they are very, very crunchy.
366
Mm-hmm.
367
And here, of course, you know, we have the watermelon and mango.
368
And from those two, which do you prefer?
369
Oh, man.
370
I love watermelon and I love mango, but I think I prefer mango.
371
I'm not going to lie.
372
Something about it.
373
Can you guys give me three different ways to describe these two fruits?
374
Both of these fruits are very sweet.
375
Both of these fruits are also very juicy.
376
Also, both of these fruits can be quite messy, but I believe mangoes are messier if you try to eat them without peeling them.
377
And both of these fruits are very healthy for you, but might make you go to the washroom fast.
378
The mango, especially the mango.
379
No, the watermelon.
380
Depends on the person, I guess.
381
The watermelon.
382
But those are all the snacks we have tried.
383
Now we are going to go out to a cafe
384
and get some Vietnamese coffee and other drinks to try them and to also describe them to you as well.
385
So let's go now.
386
Okay, so now we're on our dessert of the day.
387
We had a pretty big lunch and then some snacks while we were watching YouTube.
388
But now we came to this, like, I guess cafe or dessert shop.
389
So we ordered food here.
390
You can see right here.
391
This right here is a QR code.
392
You scan it with your camera.
393
And this is what the menu looks like.
394
So we ordered three items, one for each of us and we'll try these.
395
We all order different items and this is gonna be my first time ever having it on my own.
396
But my mom had it before and I tried hers and it was really good.
397
Because your mom knows how to order yeah i guess so
398
but right now we are all sitting down on these very small chairs these chairs are very small
399
and also low to the ground this is also a very small metal table
400
and you can see there are holes throughout the whole table
401
on the whole surface of the table this is very vietnamese
402
because i i don't know if if you guys have ever seen such low chairs and tables in other countries.
403
Maybe a little bit, but not like this much.
404
Yes, everywhere.
405
Here it's everywhere, everywhere.
406
But yeah, so on the table there is also this basket with napkins.
407
This is just a very small woven basket.
408
It's just plastic.
409
Over here you have a sign that says no pet.
410
Should be no pets, but yeah, no pet.
411
And this right here is a red sign with a cross through it.
412
That's like a universal symbol for whatever the item is not allowed.
413
So yeah, we just ordered our food through the QR code, brought us to the website, and now we're just waiting.
414
So I think over there in the kitchen, they are preparing our dessert.
415
You can show them around this store, pretty empty.
416
There's just one other customer in here.
417
Overall empty.
418
I'm excited to eat this dessert because when I tried my mom's, it was really good. So yeah.
419
So this right here is crushed ice.
420
This is crushed ice.
421
So now my mom's gonna put the ice on the dessert.
422
She just put a spoon for me, a spoon for herself, another spoon for herself, another spoon for Leon.
423
We have three bowls.
424
We each have our own.
425
It looks pretty good.
426
I don't know if you're supposed to stir this or just like eat it like that, but I believe this is like some sort of caramel flan.
427
Is it good?
428
The jelly, the little jelly balls, they're very good.
429
So the flan is going to be good too.
430
The flan is quite good.
431
Let me try these balls.
432
Like tapioca.
433
Mm-hmm.
434
Yummy.
435
Overall, it's pretty good.
436
I think the one you had before was better because it had the fruit.
437
I had mixed fruit, yes.
438
This one is jackfruit.
439
Now we're walking down this pretty nice alley.
440
You can see there are a lot of restaurants on the side here, but there aren't many people eating since it's almost 4 p.m.
441
So now we're thinking of going and buying one of these bags here.
442
These three shops in front of us are selling the same bag, and I need one for my flight
443
because my mom brought me a lot of stuff from Canada and I don't have room in my suitcase.
444
These right here are cross body bags.
445
These are all cross body bags.
446
You can see these ones are a little bit bigger and these ones are smaller and these are more like fanny packs.
447
You also have luggage straps here, luggage straps or luggage belts and you can also call these messenger bags.
448
These are messenger bags.
449
They have this lip here that closes the bag and And you can usually put documents or your computer inside these bags.
450
So I just bought this big canvas bag.
451
It seems to be like some sort of military bag, like that type of material and color.
452
But it's heavy duty because it feels strong.
453
Yeah, it is really heavy duty.
454
And the inside has this like rubber, so I'm pretty sure it's also waterproof.
455
But I just bought it
456
because my mom brought a lot of stuff for me from Canada and I don't have enough room in my suitcase, so I need another bag, another check bag, but I don't really want to spend like so much money on a suitcase,
457
so this is good enough.
458
This cost six and a half dollars and a suitcase they wanted four hundred dollars.
459
This is a pretty good deal.
460
These right here are the handles.
461
These are the handles.
462
The color is like military green.
463
This part right here is the zipper.
464
And right now you guys can tell me what I'm doing.
465
I'm zipping up the bag, unzipping the bag.
466
So to zip, that is the verb.
467
And honestly, it holds air because it's like sealed.
468
It's like water tight seal.
469
I got my new bag and...
470
It didn't break the bank, so we're happy.
471
Bargain.
472
I like a bargain.
473
Okay guys, so we just went into Circle K, which is a convenience store, and we got a drink.
474
Because I'm really thirsty.
475
And we haven't even been out for that long, but I'm already sweating.
476
But you can see there, that's my bag right there.
477
I think this is my favorite drink.
478
I really hope it's carbonated electrolytes, and it's not just like really unhealthy.
479
That's what my mom said it was.
480
I took her word for it.
481
Poor mom.
482
Blame it on her.
483

484

488

489
I want to buy another silk bandana.
490
So we're going to head over to Silk Street and see what we can find.
491
Hopefully something good.
492
Okay, so right now we are in a silk shop and all these clothes are made out of silk.
493
I bought a silk hair tie for my hair, but they also sell silk dresses and silk bandanas.
494
Okay, so we have our last meal of the day another dessert i've never had durian before

500

501
lot there is a seed inside it's creamy it's very flavorful i like it
502
but there's very few things i don't like
503
so the way people make it sound like it's the worst is It doesn't stink that bad.
504
It doesn't make sense and it doesn't smell like it.
505
I think it's yummy.
506
Maybe with the ice cream it's even better.
507
Yeah, so I would say the hate is not really necessary.
508
I've seen people gag when eating it.
509
I don't know what's up with that.
510
They're acting though.
511
But gagging when you eat it?
512
No, absolutely not.
513

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.
