1
Welcome to Liverpool.
2
Today we are in Liverpool.
3
It's my favourite city in the UK and I cannot wait to show you around.
4
At the same time we'll be learning lots of English together.
5
You'll be getting real English immersion by hearing us speak.
6
Let's go!
7
So if you are coming to Liverpool, you probably will arrive at Liverpool Lime Street Station.
8
This is the big hub.
9
This is where all the trains come in and leave.
10
There are a couple stations in Liverpool.
11
So there's Liverpool Central, there's Liverpool James Street, and I think there's another one.
12
But this is the main one.
13
You'll probably arrive here.
14
I've caught many trains at Liverpool Lime Street Station, and I've missed many trains at Liverpool land
15
street station this house is upside
16
down this house is upside down upside down
17
that lady there she was busking so when people sing on the street for money they are busking She is a busker.
18
Right, we are currently in the Albert Dock.
19
On a sunny day, there are no better places to be than the Albert Dock, in my opinion.
20
I love being here.
21
It's always windy.
22
It's always breezy.
23
It's very windy.
24
I had the windiest day of my life.
25
Not windy like I was farting, but I had a very windy day with my mum.
26
And it was the windiest I've ever known anywhere
27
and we were in the dock and we wanted to go from one building to another
28
and we had to like brace ourselves to leave the building.
29
We were like, okay, one, two, three, go.
30
And we ran and we were like...
31
Literally, we could not believe how windy it was.
32
But it's still lovely when it's windy.
33
And you've also nearly broken your teeth here.
34
Oh, yeah.
35
So one time I was here on after a night out, I'll be honest.
36
So I wasn't entirely sober.
37
I'll be completely honest.
38
And it was quite icy on the floor.
39
And what was I doing?
40
I think I was dancing or something.
41
I don't know.
42
I wasn't there.
43
I was doing something silly.
44
And I slipped.
45
But I slipped forward.
46
And my chin hit the floor.
47
And my teeth went like that.
48
And if my tongue had been in the wrong position, I would have bitten my tongue off.
49
Goodness me, it was stressful.
50
I'd say this is probably my favourite part of Liverpool.
51
One of my favourite parts of Liverpool.
52
And all these red pillars here, if you follow it around, which we will do in a minute.
53
Yeah, there's lots of restaurants and cafes.
54
Here's a good word for you.
55
The Albert Dock is often very blustery.
56
Blustery is another word for windy.
57
Very windy.
58
Imagine this kind of weather.
59
Ooh, it was a blustery day in the Albert Duk.
60
Nora, this place is iconic.
61
Iconic.
62
You know what I'm talking about, don't you?
63
It's going to be patchy rain over there.
64
Get ready, go.
65
All right.
66
Oh my gosh, are you all right?
67
That is a moment in British television when Alison Hammond is trying to give the weather,
68
but she's standing on top of like foam cutouts of the map of the UK
69
and she pushes this poor guy in and she says, Oh no, are you all right, babe?
70
Bless her.
71
What an icon.
72
Me and Laura, we were going to go today to one of our favourite restaurants
73
when we were at uni here called Smuggler's Cove.
74
It was pirate themed.
75
But it's changed to something else.
76
To something generic.
77
It's annoying how you can have a unique, interesting restaurant that does something different and it gets replaced by something generic,
78
just a branch of a restaurant.
79
Yeah, just like a run-of-the-mill restaurant.
80
Fancy taking a dip in the water?
81
You might hear the word scouse used a lot in this video, scouse.
82
So scouse refers to things from Liverpool or people from Liverpool.
83
So you might say a scouse woman would be like a woman from Liverpool.
84
Or people from Liverpool sometimes call themselves scousers.
85
I'm a scouser.
86
I'm from Liverpool.
87
so if you hear something referred to as a Scouse accent it is an accent from Liverpool and
88
if you're interested in accents from the UK we actually have
89
a package we have a course where you can listen to
90
10 different hour-long conversations with 10 different people from around the UK
91
and one of those people is from Liverpool
92
so one of those people is a Scouser so
93
if you want to check out that course click the link in the description
94
So this is the Mersey River and the Albert Docks were built
95
so that the boats travelling in from around the world could kind of dock here at the Albert Docks.
96
My grandad, or my grandfather, and his dad, I believe, I hope I'm getting this story right, used to kind of come, well, my grandad used to come with his friends,
97
and they used to sit on the other side of the water, the place called The Wirral, and they used to sit there, and they used to look at all of the boats coming in,
98
and they used to identify the flags, because the flags used to come from all over the world, all the way to Liverpool carrying goods.
99
See what I mean about it being windy here?
100
So in lots of places around the world it becomes a thing to put padlocks on it.
101
So here in the Albert Docks lots of people have put padlocks on here
102
and we actually put a padlock on the docks but I have no idea where it is.
103
We've lost it because as you can see there are a lot of them.
104
So we're here, no it's not we're here somewhere I don't know where
105
but um yeah it's just a nice little gesture I think there's something really cute about taking a padlock
106
and saying and throwing away the key oh yeah we threw the key
107
and it's just nice to say we'll be here forever in
108
our favorite city I think Liverpool is like our favorite city
109
in the UK is it not I think it is we love it here nod yeah we love it.
110
I am crossing the bridge.
111
These guys are terrible conversationalists.
112
I've been talking to them for hours and they've not said anything.
113
Do you have anything you want to say?
114
Be sure to like and subscribe to Smashing English.
115
They're great.
116
So, can you spot the two liver birds on the top of the liver building?
117
They are an iconic thing in Liverpool, the liver birds.
118
There is a liver bird on the crest of Liverpool Football Club, I believe, but let's go over to Bedouin to find out more.
119
The reason why there's two, one looks over to the river to welcome in the ship people who have been travelling the world, to welcome them back in.
120
One to look over them, and one to look over the city.
121
So they face different directions, almost like looking after the people and the place.
122
Something like that.
123
I've butchered that fact, but it's something like that.
124
I've never actually been on a ferry across the Mersey, as the famous song is.
125
Ferry across the Mersey.
126
I've never heard that song.
127
Is that a song?
128
Yeah.
129
The ferry, the Mersey.
130
That's all I know.
131
I've never been across the Mersey on the ferry.
132
You have with your mum.
133
No, we were going to go.
134
But it was the blustery day.
135
But it was that blustery day.
136
And the people in the office said, you can go on the ferry.
137
It's going to be rough.
138
It's going to be choppy.
139
So they said...
140
Just to go over there?
141
Yeah.
142
So they said, it's up to you.
143
No, I don't think it was even just across there.
144
I think it was a bit more of a substantial boat trip.
145
Right, right, right.
146
So it wasn't just a quick thing.
147
And they said, you can go.
148
It's up to you.
149
But basically, don't blame us when you're...
150
They're trying to put you off.
151
Trying to put us off a little bit because they just knew that if we went on that boat, we would not have a nice time.
152
So, no. I don't think I've ever been on a ferry, I'll be completely honest.
153
Have you been on a ferry?
154
Yeah, to Ireland.
155
I flew to Ireland. To France.
156
No, I've never been on...
157
Oh.
158
Oh.
159
No. Well, so far, this day is going swimmingly.
160
That's brilliant.
161
So, yeah, this day is going very well.
162
It's lovely weather.
163
It's not raining.
164
So we're going to head to the cathedral, which is amazing.
165
This huge cathedral.
166
Yeah, isn't it?
167
I think it's like the third or second or third or fourth biggest cathedral in Europe, I believe.
168
Oh, wow.
169
and it's right next to us, directly opposite where me and Laura went to university.
170
And where we met.
171
So that's why Liverpool is quite special for us because we met here, going to university in Liverpool and I used to live right next to the cathedral.
172
Like literally it felt like I was living on the ground.
173
It was on your doorstep.
174
Literally the cathedral was on my doorstep.
175
So we're going to show you the cathedral.
176
Let's go!
177
Right, we're going to go to the top of this cathedral
178
because you can actually take a lot of stairs because there's no lift.
179
So we're going to have to climb a lot of stairs, but you get an amazing view of Liverpool.
180
We'll show you.
181
So there is a lift partway.
182
You still have to climb some stairs.
183
Oh, did you think it was staged all the way?
184
Yeah.
185
That would have taken ages!
186
Laura!
187
I was ready!
188
I was like, come on!
189
Laura, that would have taken absolutely ages.
190
All the way!
191
It's the tallest, it's the...
192
Think about how tall the buildings are in Liverpool.
193
Oh my god.
194
Don't you drop that camera.
195
I know.
196
I'm careful, lad.
197
Yeah, it feels just quite daunting, doesn't it?
198
Just like going up by her.
199
Like you could, if you wanted to, You could jump.
200
This isn't even the highest bit.
201
We're going up to...
202
Hold on tight.
203
This feels like I'm walking up to heaven or something.
204
Oh.
205
I hope not.
206
Bedouin is absolutely terrified of dropping this camera.
207
I don't know why.
208
His palms are sweating.
209
It's like I've oiled them up.
210
It's like I've been oiled.
211
The view is amazing though, isn't it?
212
It's amazing, yeah.
213
It's funny looking at Liverpool almost from a bird's eye view
214
because we can see all of these memories dotted around because we spent so much time here.
215
So we go, oh, that's where we did that.
216
Oh, that's where we met that person.
217
That's where we did that.
218
It's like seeing a scrapbook of our memories in one city.
219
And it's really nice to see it from above like this, which is quite nice.
220
I've been quite sentimental today.
221
let's walk down bold street and you can actually walk on the road
222
because they pedestrianized it um so now there are tables
223
and chairs where cars used to drive i think it really works being pedestrianized
224
because it means you can just wander down the street have a look at the restaurants
225
or have a look at the shops.
226
It's just I really like Bold Street.
227
I spent a lot of time walking up and down this street
228
when I was at university so we're going to have a little walk down, see if there's anywhere we might want to eat for dinner.
229
I don't really know what we're doing for dinner yet so we'll investigate.
230
Let's have a look.
231
we have checked in to our hotel it's the rope walks in liverpool it's very central
232
which is what we wanted because we were doing a lot of walking
233
and we just wanted somewhere that was going to be central and this is really really nice.
234
I'm loving this room.
235
I'm loving the artwork as well like just
236
when I was walking around the artwork has lots of famous people from the city.
237
It just really makes you feel like you're in Liverpool which is what you want.
238
I don't want to stay in a hotel that feels like I could be anywhere.
239
Do you know what I mean?
240
And they've got bathrobes which is my favourite thing in a hotel.
241
If a hotel has bathrobes and slippers I'm gonna have a great night.
242
Look how big it is.
243
We've got like a whole dance floor here.
244
You could do a dance for us.
245
Go on.
246
Here he goes.
247
What?
248
That was actually... That actually wasn't bad.
249
Wow.
250
Whoa. And toiletries.
251
You know I love some toiletries.
252
And how nice is this?
253
They left us a little card.
254
I love that.
255
We're going out to get some dinner now and I am fuming
256
because me and Bez were just holding the door open for someone
257
and he went cheers lads cheers lads cheers means thank you lads means boys
258
so he looked at me and bears and thought hmm two men cheers lads fuming absolutely fuming
259
we're having thai food because we love thai food
260
and we just can't walk past a thai restaurant without going in so yay!
261
So we've come to Dicey Riley's, which is the Irish sport that's like owned by the hotel
262
so they're kind of linked so we thought let's come to Dicey Riley's
263
and they've made me this amazing lychee martini and I've not tried it yet let's have a go
264
stunning really nice I love lychee one of my favorite flavors
265
but it's got a nice vibe in here we really appreciate a booth with a screen especially
266
if there's sports on it's very nice to have your own personal screen
267
so yeah the bars
268
and clubs in Liverpool are second to none there is a bar for any vibe
269
if you want a sports bar if you want Irish bars
270
if you want something more sophisticated something a bit more rowdy the nightlife is excellent to be honest
271
so but there's so much to do in Liverpool that isn't nightlife
272
so if you want to go to bed at 9pm that's fine
273
but if you want to go crazy Liverpool's the place to be.
274
There's a lot of Irish bars in Liverpool there's loads I
275
think at one point a quarter of the population of Liverpool was Irish
276
because in the 19th century there was a kind of a mass migration of people from Ireland to Liverpool because Liverpool,
277
I suppose, is the nearest dock to Ireland.
278
Maybe Wales as well, I suppose.
279
So there's a lot of Irish people here, a lot of, actually, Welsh people used to live and work here, Laura.
280
I don't know if you knew that.
281
As we're in Liverpool, in honour of that, I'm going to have a pint of Guinness.
282
Now, I'm not a Guinness connoisseur, but that is a nice pint of Guinness.
283
Good morning, good morning.
284
We've had our breakfast.
285
It was really nice.
286
I had an omelette, a spinach and mushroom omelette.
287
It was really, really nice.
288
And today we are going to Anfield.
289
If you're a football fan, you know what team plays there.
290
If you're not, I'll tell you.
291
Liverpool play at Anfield but we're not watching the normal Liverpool team, we're going to watch a Liverpool thank God,
292
better word says we're going to watch a Liverpool Legends match, so it's like old Liverpool players who used to play in the past
293
and they're coming back just for a bit of fun I'm hoping it, oh yeah it's a charity match,
294
so I'm hoping it doesn't get too cold or windy so far it looks quite nice
295
so yeah come with us we're going to have a little
296
morning in Liverpool we're going to go eat some scouse
297
so I told you earlier that scouse is how we refer to people
298
and things from Liverpool but it's also a dish
299
so there's a dish called scouse which has I'll show you
300
when we eat it it's really delicious so we're going to go find some scouse and then go to the football
301
We are now on a street called Hope Street.
302
Hope Street.
303
And they call it Hope Street because here there is the Roman Catholic Cathedral.
304
And over here on the other side, you've got the Anglican Cathedral.
305
This road here connects two very, very big cathedrals in Liverpool.
306
Very interesting.
307
It's really not the architecture you expect in the UK.
308
Like I'm looking at it now and it really doesn't feel like a typical UK religious building at all.
309
I think that's why it's quite interesting because you know, you can picture what a UK religious building looks like.
310
But this is so different and inside it's really different as well.
311
I really like it.
312
I'm sure there is step free access somewhere.
313
So don't worry if you struggle with steps.
314
The wind knocked me off my feet a bit there.
315
So St George's Hall is where the register office is for the city,
316
but it's mostly a venue for weddings, galas, conferences, exhibitions.
317
It's kind of the premier place in Liverpool.
318
If you want to host a really special event, you do it there.
319
I mean, I think it would be a very spectacular wedding if you had it in there.
320
According to the weather, the wind is supposed to die down at about two o'clock
321
so we've just got to live with the wind for now.
322
It will die down.
323
Okay, my stomach is rumbling.
324
I'm getting hungry, so we are going to head back to the docks because there's a restaurant that does really good scouse,
325
which is like a beef stew with carrots, and it's just really nice.
326
It's a bit like a stew soup kind of thing.
327
So we're going to have that with some crusty bread and pickled cabbage.
328
Then we're going to catch a short train to go to Anfield Stadium to watch the football.
329
And the wind is easing off a little bit.
330
The wind is easing off.
331
It's much less windy, so hopefully by the time we get to the football stadium, it will be like a lovely spring day.
332
Let's go!
333
Oh, an excellent weekend in Liverpool.
334
Fantastic.
335
My favourite place in the UK.
336
I'm so happy we had... Is it?
337
Is it your favourite place in the UK?
338
It's one of them.
339
I really like it.
340
I always have a good time when I come to Liverpool.

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.
