Today we are going to be exploring an ancient Korean village whilst learning English.
2
So there will be some vocabulary that pops up on the screen
3
and everything will be included in a free PDF and the links in the top comment.
4
Okay, enjoy.
5
Okay, there seems to be some activity down here.
6
So I guess this is the cultural village, guys.
7
They have a foot spa cafe, but they're also using AI imagery.
8
So we're not going to go there.
9
People used to say I was AI, which I guess is a compliment.
10
is that a compliment i don't know ai definitely doesn't sweat this much
11
so maybe that's what's saving me from the allegations we have a sleepy goyangi chilling underneath
12
that car do not blame him
13
or her at all to be honest i'd quite like to
14
do the same wait a minute i'm not 100 sure
15
but i think this cafe is where the indonesian president visited yeah i remember it was um 2019 maybe
16
november oh yeah look guys look look i was right this
17
is where the indivision president visited 2019 november the 24th yeah i remember
18
that i think we all remember that day actually
19
that was quite an iconic moment in everyone's lives british humor mate it's rather funny
20
and some more ai bollocks excuse my french
21
but respectfully i i hope all of these businesses do well
22
but this is just nonsense do not buy this crap come
23
on guys like this stuff is absolutely fine that's cooled by
24
that but this nonsense this is another thing i can't support unfortunately frozen beer all right
25
so let me know if your country does this
26
because it's definitely not just a korean thing i'm not necessarily talking about frozen beer
27
but some countries for example korea and also argentina put ice in the beer
28
which for me is just unacceptable as an english as a british person now we come you can't do
29
that you can't do
30
that it's blasphemy yeah frozen beer is crazy okay there's an observatory this way is
31
that me wow i knew i was famous oh come on i didn't know i was
32
that famous oh my god guys trees yes trees big tall beautiful green trees thank you thank you Thank you Lord.
33
Pyol ma du chon mang de.
34
This way bro, 50 meters.
35
The observation deck.
36
He's got an Arsenal top one, my guy.
37
Let's go.
38
Okay, the second observation deck of the video.
39
I spoke to the Arsenal guy by the way, he was cool.
40
He's from Vietnam.
41
I might try and get another interaction for the banter.
42
Excuse me bro, can I film for YouTube? from me?
43
Ah just like this yeah Arsenal come on man.
44
Hi.
45
Where are you from?
46
London address.
47
Where are you from?
48
I'm from Vietnam.
49
Ah nice to meet you.
50
What's your name?
51
My name is Tung.
52
Tung.
53
Nice to meet you.
54
Who's your favorite player?
55
Your favorite player?
56
Saka the star boy.
57
Thank you so much.
58
Nice to meet you.
59
Yeah.
60
Arsenal yes that's what it's all about.
61
That's why you should support Arsenal because it really is like a family.
62
Whenever I see anyone wearing an Arsenal top I will always go over
63
and speak to or just say Arsenal or Fistbumpham or something like that.
64
It's a family and we just won the league.
65
We're the best team in the world, so support Arsenal.
66
Yeah, and this is it.
67
Me with a fox on my back and people taking photos for free.
68
Not paying me at all, but I guess that's just the life of a celebrity here.
69
All right, we will get in line for the photo.
70
I don't really want to, but for the culture.
71
Since we're here, it's our turn.
72
Okay, there it is.
73
You ready?
74
okay let's do this twins i need a fox like this guy has
75
but pretty much looking the same right all right we got some good footage there
76
but i'm not really too sure where to go now as
77
mentioned i have been here before about four years ago
78
and i remember there is a different part to this it's a trail surrounded by those houses
79
and they have these stamps
80
that you can collect that's where i saw the hut where you can write your name
81
that i was talking about earlier so if we can find
82
that place then we might be able to wrap up the video you know what would be really convenient
83
if we had some sort of high viewpoint where we could see the lay of the land
84
so we could work out exactly where
85
yeah i'm an idiot all right i think we need to go back to where we came
86
but the good news is we're really close according to google
87
maps we have the bts merch uh genuine question for the bts people
88
because i know there will be some fans watching this are they still around
89
because a few years ago they were absolutely massive you couldn't escape them
90
but i feel like i haven't really seen much bts propaganda
91
recently those are the kids i would have been teaching if you know why I started a YouTube.
92
Let me just quickly tell you.
93
It's quite a long story but I'll make it extremely fast.
94
Basically went to Korea on holiday, absolutely loved it, applied to be a teacher here, got rejected out of spite, started my YouTube channel to prove them wrong.
95
That's why we're here.
96
So if there was no Korea there'd be no British education
97
and those were the kids that I would have been teaching because I wanted to teach here in Busan.
98
So yeah, kind of crazy right?
99
This towel is genuinely saving my life right now.
100
I'm so glad I brought it.
101
Don't worry I have to sunblock everywhere else just not on
102
my neck right i think this is where we need to
103
go yeah yeah we need to get the stamp tool
104
because that's you need to get like a map
105
but then you go through the village
106
and collect all of the stamps right it's slightly confusing
107
so let me explain basically we're here this is the information center
108
and we just bought this map and we need to collect all of these stamps
109
so we're going to take the orange route which is through here
110
which is that way the way we just came
111
and this symbol represents the stamp we need to get
112
so we're going to go up there collect
113
that stamp this way this way collect that stamp that stamp
114
that stamp that stamp that stamp that stamp
115
and these are all of the stamps that we need
116
and i think once we get all of these we get a postcard
117
or something like
118
that right i just walked right past the first stamp we need to get it's the little museum
119
which is there so let's go the adventure begins oh it's nice and cool in there Okay,
120
welcome to the little museum.
121
Where's the stamp?
122
Stamp?
123
I can't find the stamp and neither can they.
124
That'll be really disappointing if we can't stamp the first thing we need.
125
Got this guy looking on pots for the stamp.
126
There's a hut here, but I just...
127
Is it in here?
128
Can't find it.
129
Alright, I'm making my own stamp because we're here.
130
And we're not going to let the adventure die.
131
Alright, on we go.
132
The next stop is the Hanoumalu Observatory.
133
Which is that way, on the right.
134
Yeah, never mind.
135
It's right here.
136
It's right outside.
137
That's the entrance and we walked right past it.
138
So, yep, there it is.
139
Alright, first stamp acquired.
140
We did it guys.
141
On we go.
142
Down there.
143
It's reached this level of heat where I don't care anymore.
144
The wind is knocking it off.
145
I need my sun umbrella.
146
Right, it's up there.
147
That's where we need to go.
148
The Hanolmaru Observatory.
149
Here we are.
150
And that is the stamp box.
151
Nice and easy to find this time.
152
Okay, two down, nine to go, ten to go.
153
Come on Dylan, Jesus.
154
Good thing I'm not a maths teacher.
155
Nice view here by the way, I kind of forgot where we are.
156
I'm really invested in this now.
157
Alright so we were just here, the next stamp is a bit of a walk away, the Gamchon Bakery, so up there and left.
158
Hello Gamchon and the BTS boys.
159
Looking good.
160
There's no house.
161
There's no house.
162
There's no house.
163
Anyway, that's the Ganchon Bakery.
164
It wasn't actually that far.
165
Maybe like 30 seconds.
166
And that's the stamp box.
167
This is what we need.
168
You ready?
169
Now we have 9 to go.
170
Going around and collecting stamps has no reason to be this fun.
171
Fair play.
172
They've gamified this and it's absolutely working.
173
I'm so excited for the next stamp.
174
And it's this souvenir shop.
175
And that's convenient, isn't it?
176
Anyway, it's down here.
177
but this area is really cool there are loads of shops
178
and um and food places and stuff like that
179
so i'm just walking it says superstar appears in busan for
180
god's sake who told the paparazzi i was here why does
181
this always happen i can't just live a normal life can i it's ridiculous
182
all right so we need to find a souvenir shop for the next stand
183
but the problem is they're bloody everywhere and they all look the same so i think it's down here Oh, I'm not sure what I want to go.
184
Eight to go.
185
Look at that for a view as well inside this shelf.
186
Beautiful.
187
I just got stopped by some high school students and their teacher
188
because they wanted me to fill out a survey about tourism
189
and i did it
190
and they gave me this as my reward some tissues happy
191
days uh what is this what is this the british flag
192
and the cafe are they trying to pass off as a
193
british cafe that's far more interesting to be honest okay we're going to the house of peace
194
which is down there i don't want to be ungrateful
195
but it's a shame the reward wasn't a portable phone charger because we're on 27
196
which should hopefully be enough to complete this
197
yeah this is the house of peace i'm like 90 sure
198
this is it it's crazy how you can remember things from
199
four years ago like the 10 minutes i spent here yeah
200
this is it this is it look you can see other
201
writing on the walls i wrote something here i think it's been painted over now
202
seven to go it's actually really nice in here as a i really like that art the black and the white
203
my favorite colors and like the roof feels very rustic
204
and cool honestly you could rent this out with
205
that view you could turn this into an airbnb
206
and charge a lot of money not saying they should obviously
207
and i like how there is some respect here like everyone's
208
writing on the walls here that's fine you're allowed to do
209
that but no one's doing it here and i do like
210
that i'd be extremely disappointed if i saw some writing on
211
that beautiful piece of art british education youtube with a very very sinister looking emily the dog here cool
212
if you find that send me a photo on Instagram.
213
I'll give you a prize.
214
So we are here and we need to go down here to the modern man which is that way.
215
Let's go.
216
I'm really enjoying this by the way guys.
217
I think this is probably this is shaping up to be one of my favorite videos I've ever filmed.
218
I mean look at that background.
219
This map is so much fun as well and this is sometimes
220
when you're solo traveling it can be a bit lonely but when I'm filming it sounds a bit weird, sounds a bit cringe but I genuinely feel like you guys are here with me.
221
I don't feel like I'm solo traveling right now at all.
222
so yeah thank you so much i'm extremely grateful for all of you anyway let's go to this
223
modern man just to give you a feel of how it actually looks this is it it's
224
so nice right the beautiful vibrant multi-colored houses the sea there
225
the mountains the map the narrow pathways all of these lovely
226
houses the sun is out there's a gentle breeze i'm loving it this is
227
this is amazing all right we found the modern man
228
and the stamp is right here yeah by the way there was some misinformation on this map genuinely
229
but it's all good we found it now
230
hey halfway there eight to go come on
231
maybe i should move here okay we're looking for the house of hope too
232
which is right here happy days
233
and the stamp is right here happy days okay house of hope too there we are five more to go
234
the little prince house down this way hopefully this is a bit of a track right here
235
all the way to here okay little prince house down this way but there's no there's no english one They have Malaysia,
236
they have bloody America obviously.
237
Why is there no English?
238
There's two American ones, are you kidding me?
239
I'm no no English one.
240
Korea, sort it out please.
241
I'm on 11% by the way.
242
There we have it, the little prince house.
243

244
Good boy.
245

247
black that's a crazy fit i can't lie right adele yeah she knows okay that's the prince house
248
and just so you know the next one is called house with puppies
249
so i'm kind of expecting a house with puppies
250
if i turn up there and there are no puppies that's kind of disappointing False advertising.
251
I should sue them.
252
Yeah, we just walked right past it again, and this is it.
253
No puppies, just fake plastic puppies.
254
Oh well.
255
Three more to go.
256
Okay, we're on 8%.
257
We need to go to the happy power station.
258
I'm absolutely dying for a drink by the way.
259
My face is sunburned but I just refuse to stop until we've finished this map.
260
I think it's this way.
261
We've jumped from seven percent to three percent in the space of about five minutes.
262
I'm a bit worried.
263
We're so close to finishing this map as well.
264
We're here, we need to go down here, and then here, and then here, and then we're done.
265
That's it.
266
Right, we've been sitting here for about 20 minutes now, charging my phone, using my laptop next to this random well place.
267
We've been doing this walk for over two hours now.
268
Let's just get this done.
269
Come on, let's go.
270
British education.

Why This Video Is Perfect for IELTS Speaking Practice
Learning English with YouTube just got more engaging—this video, set in a Korean village, blends real-life conversation with casual storytelling, making it ideal for honing speaking skills. The natural flow of the narrator’s thoughts, from commenting on AI imagery to chatting with a Vietnam-born Arsenal fan, mirrors the unscripted dialogue you’d encounter in IELTS speaking tests. It’s full of colloquial phrases and everyday reactions that sound authentic, not forced—exactly what examiners love.
Breaking Down Natural English: 4 Key Phrases
“Do not blame him or her at all to be honest”
This phrase mixes a casual command with a personal opinion, using “to be honest” to soften the statement. Native speakers often add such hedging words to sound relatable, a trick that boosts fluency in IELTS speaking.
“It’s blasphemy”
A vivid, emotional term for something “unacceptable,” this shows how native speakers use strong language to emphasize feelings. Using such expressive words can make your speech more engaging, even in formal tests.
“Let me know if your country does this”
This invites interaction, a common tactic in conversational English. Practicing questions like this helps you build discussion skills, crucial for IELTS part 3 where you need to elaborate on topics.
“Nice to meet you. What’s your name?”
Simple but effective, this exchange demonstrates polite small talk. Mastering these basic phrases ensures you can start conversations smoothly, a key part of speaking confidence.
A Simple Shadowing Routine to Improve Pronunciation
Use this video with a shadowing app (or even just your phone) to nail pronunciation and rhythm. Here’s how:
- Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, mimicking the tone and speed.
- Record yourself, then compare it to the original—note where your intonation or stress differs.
- Focus on tricky phrases like “frozen beer is crazy” or “British humor mate, it's rather funny” to practice linking words.
Whether you’re learning English with YouTube or prepping for a test, this video’s real-world dialogue is a goldmine. Dive in, shadow the narrator, and turn everyday moments into speaking success!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — an action that started earlier and is still going on | we've been sitting · We've been doing |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have been · haven't really seen · They've gamified |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | will be included · been painted · is called |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | route which is · man which is |
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.
