1
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands.
2
Some call it the most permissive place on Earth, famous for its coffee shops that aren't coffee shops,
3
and a liberal attitude toward vice.
4
As an American teenager dreaming of a Euro trip,
5
Amsterdam was ground zero, A pilgrimage you had to make to experience what you couldn't at home.
6
And while freedom has always been part of Amsterdam's identity, there's so much more.
7
Great food, centuries of history, the tallest people in the world flying by on bikes,
8
and arguably one of the highest qualities of life in Europe.
9
Here's why Amsterdam's reputation is only half its story.
10
and how to experience one of Europe's most popular cities the right way.
11
And it's just your regular steering.
12
Okay, so forward and usual back, that's it.
13
Alright, I think I can manage that.
14
I can't believe they're letting me do this right now.
15
I have zero experience driving boats, but yet here I am relatively successful so far.
16
This is really one of the best ways to see Amsterdam.
17
You can take boat tours, but we opted to rent and drive our own boat to have a little bit more control and it's nice.
18
You can bring wine and cheese and just have yourself a nice afternoon.
19
No!
20
No!
21
No!
22
Oh, shit!
23
Oh, shit!
24
Oh, shit!
25
Sorry!
26
The boat doesn't go very fast, so I think, like, for the most part, the big disasters can be avoided.
27
Yeah.
28
Do whatever you want.
29
Do whatever you want.
30
What do you want?
31
We're doing what we can.
32
Why are they honking?
33
I'm doing fine.
34
Right now we're really sailing through the centre of the city.
35
So we're close to the red light district.
36
You can see all the hustle and bustle, the waterfront restaurants and bars, people hanging out.
37
The summertime in Amsterdam is always very alive because their winters are very dark, the sun sets at four, so at this time of year everyone is out and about.
38
When you think about Amsterdam you think of canals.
39
It really is a very charming and defining characteristic of the city and there are so many canals in Amsterdam.
40
There's over a hundred kilometers
41
and these were built very strategically in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age as Amsterdam as a city was expanding.
42
Amsterdam used to be marshland so this was a way to manage the water.
43
It was also for sanitation and improved transportation and trade even defense
44
and today it's what makes Amsterdam a really unique place to visit because there's not many cities built like this.
45
Like right now we're on a boat literally in the center of the city
46
and there's just a great kind of old world charm.
47
It's really nice on these little rental boats because you can go where the big boats can't.
48
So these narrower waterways where it's a lot more peaceful feels really nice.
49
The houses in Amsterdam are instantly recognizable
50
and this row behind me is a very good example you
51
can see they're built alongside the canal just next to each other
52
and they're very tall maybe four or five stories very narrow with big windows
53
and you see there's hooks on a lot of them
54
and there's interesting history behind this so because the houses are
55
so narrow the staircases are tiny and you can't move furniture
56
or cargo so they use those hooks to bring those things into the houses
57
and a lot of the houses actually tilt forward so
58
when those things are going into the house they don't scrape the side of it
59
and in the 17th century
60
when many of these houses were built there was a tax incentive
61
that the skinnier the houses were the less taxes you would pay
62
so that's why so many of them are so skinny
63
in amsterdam there's over 2500 houseboats
64
and there's kind of different styles they're really sought after real estate
65
because as you can imagine it's quite nice to live on the water
66
We actually stayed on a houseboat here like six years ago and it was a great experience.
67
Like it feels like you're in the city but not really.
68
And we just learned that houseboats started in the 1970s
69
when there was a housing shortage in Amsterdam and the government solution was houseboats.
70
So now it's a really quirky part of the city.
71
god it's so beautiful as an american you know we really romanticize europe
72
and this is definitely why we do not have historic architecture
73
like this it just feels like you're transported back to a
74
different time it's really quite amazing this is definitely the best way to take it in on a boat
75
so before traveling to europe this summer we wanted to to make sure
76
that we had travel gear and clothing that could keep up with our months on the road.
77
That's where the sponsor of today's video, Quince, comes in.
78
We picked up this checked bag from them and I have been really impressed by the quality so far.
79
It rolls really smoothly, it fits so much inside, and it keeps all of our gear protected.
80
Plus it looks really stylish and minimalistic, which I love.
81
This linen skort has also quickly become one of my favorite pieces.
82
It's super comfortable.
83
It goes with everything.
84
It really is just the perfect addition to my European summer capsule wardrobe.
85
And that's just a tiny preview of everything that they offer.
86
On the Quince website, you'll find great essentials like European linen clothing, bamboo bedding, nonstick ceramic cookware.
87
No matter what you're shopping for, Quince makes it really easy to find high quality pieces that you'll actually use every single day.
88
I personally love how they partner with factories that meet high standards for ethical and responsible manufacturing.
89
And because they work directly with manufacturers, you can expect the same level of quality you'll find with luxury brands, but at significantly lower prices.
90
Elevate your summer for less.

93
Amsterdam began as a small fishing village in the 13th century.
94
By the 1600s, it was the beating heart of the Dutch Golden Age,
95
transforming the country into one of the world's first global superpowers.
96
Dutch merchants sailed to every corner of the globe.
97
Many of the ideas that shaped capitalism as we know it were pioneered here,
98
from the world's first stock exchange to one of the first multinational corporations.
99
Dutch innovation fueled this prosperity, but the empire was also built on colonialism,
100
the transatlantic slave trade, and exploitation of people around the world.
101
Centuries later, Amsterdam was forever changed during World War II, when Nazi occupation devastated the city's Jewish community.
102
The war shifted the country's focus inward, toward housing, public transit, education, and a robust social safety net.
103
Today, Amsterdam's streets still reflect the opulence of times past.
104
And the city is known for its exceptional quality of life, as well as its liberal values.
105
Perhaps most visible in Devalen, better known as the Red Light District.
106
Hello from the Red Light District.
107
This is probably the most notorious neighborhood here in Amsterdam.
108
I've been hearing about this place since I was an early teen.
109
Because in the 2000s and 2010s, when American teenagers were dreaming about the Euro trip, Amsterdam was really at the center of that because of its permissiveness.
110
You know, you've been able to buy cannabis here for a really long time, and sex work is completely legal.
111
It's very interesting because the red light district is literally smacked down in the center of the city.
112
I've seen sex workers in different parts of the world, but somehow seeing them behind glass kind of presented as a product, that felt really, really different.
113
But that aside, this neighborhood is also the most historic in Amsterdam.
114
The neighborhood came to be because of its proximity to historic Amsterdam ports.
115
You'd have sailors and merchants passing through, and that created demand for taverns and sex workers and it kind of just stuck.
116
And it's been like this for hundreds of years.
117
And it's an interesting debate because obviously Amsterdam is more open-minded than anywhere else.
118
I mean, these things are not legal in a lot of places, but it also stems from practicality because, you know, the government isn't necessarily condoning the behaviors,
119
but they're saying if it's going to happen, you know, we want it to be open and regulated and thus make it safer for everyone.
120
So you can't film the sex workers for obvious reasons, but from here you can kind of get a vibe of the surroundings.
121
You know, you have the sex-oriented businesses, and then you have the windows where the workers themselves actually present themselves.
122
You have the red lanterns and the red curtains, and it's just very interesting to take in.
123
Like I wish I could describe it, but you really just have to see it for yourself.
124
interesting contrasts everywhere so there's a big historic church behind me
125
and then next to it you'll have the windows for the girls
126
so it's literally like on top of each other we want
127
to try to find a lady to talk to just to learn about their experience and what it's like working here
128
and you know kind of being under the dutch government's eye
129
so wish us luck we're literally just gonna like knock on the windows
130
and ask if they're willing to be on video let's see how this goes.
131
We tried walking around the red light district talking to one of the ladies of the night.
132
Unfortunately none of them would speak with us which is perfectly understandable.
133
So to drown our sorrows we came into this wonderful bar on the corner here
134
and it's a really good time so far.
135
I'm glad we did.
136
It's a good mix of locals who have been coming here for years
137
but also people from all over the world of course because of the location
138
i'm like kind of a lightweight because i drink half of this and i'm drunk already
139
cheers i love amsterdam but i also hate it well tell me what your favorite part about the city is
140
i think my favorite part is the red light district sounds
141
maybe a little weird it's just one of the oldest places here
142
and they want to make their red light district disappear
143
because some people don't agree with what's happening
144
but i think it's just part of amsterdam what are locals relationship with the neighborhood
145
and the girls working we don't really care everything is regulated there are no pimps anymore
146
so everything is very legal
147
and they make their own money they can keep their own money
148
so i think the people around here the locals don't really have a problem with what's happening yeah and
149
if the red light district wouldn't be here then it would also be a problem for most of the cafes and bars, restaurants, because tourists.
150
But it's also like, it's a local neighborhood, right?
151
I like it right now.
152
Hey, go.
153
Down the whole street.
154
Cheers.
155
And what's it like working here?
156
Do you like it?
157
I really like it.
158
I only work during the day.
159
But from what I've heard is that the evenings are crazy.
160
100% tourists, a lot of drinking, a lot of British, crazy British people.
161
The British are known for the British stag parties.
162
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
163
Do you think Dutch people are more open-minded?
164
I would say there's one side of people in Amsterdam
165
that are very open-minded and there's another side that's a little less open-minded.
166
But in general, they say everything, you can do anything in Amsterdam.
167
So maybe, yeah, maybe we are open-minded.
168
Okay, and you were telling us about the three X's, right?
169
On the flags everywhere.
170
Yeah.
171
Okay, what does that mean?
172
Literally translated, we call it the weapon of Amsterdam.
173
Everywhere you will see the three crosses.
174
It's more like I'm proud to be born and raised in Amsterdam.
175
And what do you think is characteristic of Dutch people?
176
I think we're very direct.
177
I would say that's the biggest thing about Dutch people.
178
We say what we think, but we all have a good heart.
179
We've been having a really good time so far.
180
Our bartender floor is super friendly and nice and all the people sitting at the bar.
181
There was one guy who is 87 years old and has been coming here for 46 years.
182
He looks great, so I guess the secret to eternal youth is Heineken.
183
It's a sunny Sunday morning in Amsterdam, and the city is alive.
184
We're in De Pijp, once a working-class neighborhood, now a trendy area, home to one of the biggest open-air markets in the city.
185
Naturally, we're here for a traditional Dutch food tour, starting at a beloved local institution.
186
We are ready to try the most traditional of Dutch foods, raw pickled herring.
187
I don't know if I should be nervous or not, because we know Northern Europe is world-renowned for its cuisine and its use of a variety of spices, right?
188
All right, let's see how this goes.
189
We have a variety of seafood and cold seafood salads, which you can see displayed here.
190
I'm wondering what this guy is right here.
191
He looks really interesting.
192
Dutch herring is packed in salt for several days.
193
During that time, natural enzymes break down the fish, giving it its signature buttery texture and mild flavor.
194
Before serving, it is carefully sliced and deboned.
195
All right, we got the goods.
196
Pickled herring, served classic, and a pickle in a bag.
197
So this is a raw herring, and it is not pickled in vinegar.
198
It is cured in a light amount of salt, and it's traditionally served with onion, raw, and pickles.
199
Right now it looks like the texture of smoked salmon or something like that.
200
Go for a big ol' bite with all the fixings.
201
Mmm.
202
It's a little slimy but very fresh.
203
And the pickles are a bit sweet.
204
So it kind of balances out the fishiness and the savoriness of the herring.
205
It's quite good.
206
It's like a little bit more PG than you might expect.
207
Really, it's so cute!
208
Oh my goodness!
209
And the sandwich form.
210
It's nice with the bread.
211
This is really salty, so it balances it out.
212
Okay, in America we have the hot dog.
213
I think I'll stick with the hot dog dog.
214
We've come to a cafe with really nice outdoor seating
215
and in the summertime in Amsterdam this is one of the best things to do, just chill out and have a coffee.
216
But we've come here for something very specific, which is a Dutch apple pie.
217
So we have really good apple pie in the States, but this is like the motherland of it.
218
So they do it really well and this place apparently has a really good one.
219
So I'm excited!
220
Got a cortado.
221
When I'm in Europe this is like an all-day thing.
222
I have several of these, ideally on patios just like this one.
223
Just puts a little pep in your step, you know?
224
You're getting like tens of thousands of steps a day here.
225
Gotta occasionally fuel up.
226
It's a pretty hearty slice.
227
You can see the layers of apple and there's a really thick buttery crust.
228
It's served with whipped cream.
229
Mmm.
230
It's really good.
231
The crust is really buttery and a little crispy.
232
The apple still has a little bit of crunch and they definitely use cinnamon or something.
233
It's delicious and it's not too sweet, which is the highest compliment.
234
Bikes are king in Amsterdam.
235
They absolutely run the roads.
236
People here use them for absolutely everything.
237
It is the main form of commuting.
238
And you see, we probably shouldn't be doing this right now.
239
But it's really amazing because the city is so well connected by bike lanes.
240
You truly do not need a car.
241
This is just the best way to get around.
242
And it's absolutely beautiful.
243
The city is perfect for it.
244
It's so flat.
245
So if you come to Amsterdam, 100% rent a bike.
246
There are definitely more bikes here than cars and I think there's more bikes than people as well.
247
And a fun fact, apparently each year the city takes hundreds, actually thousands of bikes out of the canals.
248
Amsterdam wasn't always like this.
249
I think the bike forwardness really started in the 1970s
250
when there were a lot of traffic accidents and transport options just weren't really good.
251
So the government responded by really improving bike infrastructure And now biking is just a regular part of life.
252
Being on a bike, I feel like, just completely changes your relationship with the city.
253
Like in San Francisco, where we live, we live slightly on the outskirts, and we have to drive to do everything.
254
And I kind of feel like I'm just like a visitor in my own city.
255
Like I'm not really a part of it.
256
But on a bike, you know, you're outside, you're kind of interacting with the other bikers, and just seeing what people are doing on the streets and being a part of life.
257
And it's just really nice.
258
I really, really like it.
259
And pro tip, when you're visiting Amsterdam, when you're crossing the street, look both ways before you go.
260
Otherwise, you probably will be mowed down by a bike.
261
That almost happened to me a couple of times when I first arrived.
262
What do you think of when you think of Amsterdam?
263
Canals, probably.
264
Centuries of history.
265
400-year-old architecture.
266
Maybe a lady of the night in the red light district.
267
But just a short, free ferry ride away on the city's northern shore is something that will challenge all your expectations.
268
Welcome to Noord.
269
This is a very different part of Amsterdam in the north of the city.
270
It's quite cool, you take a ferry over, it takes less than five minutes and it's completely free.
271
And it feels like we're in a totally different city.
272
I mean, it's very modern, all new condos.
273
You see a lot of construction and development everywhere.
274
So it's definitely worth checking out and I'm excited to explore a little bit more today.
275
I like the architecture here.
276
Usually modern architecture can feel a bit soulless, but it seems pretty creative.
277
I like the design. So this is NDSM.
278
It's a former shipyard and now turned creative hub.
279
And the vibe is kind of reminiscent of, you know, revitalized industrial area.
280
I feel like I've been to comparable places in like Berlin and Copenhagen.
281
Some highlights at the NDSM Wharf, massive murals and outdoor installations, towering cranes and slipways,
282
a legacy of the area's history as the largest shipyard in the Netherlands until it closed in the 1970s.
283
and former warehouses repurposed into galleries, restaurants, and bars.
284
Like Plek, one of NDSM's most popular waterfront hangouts.
285
This spot is so cool.
286
It's called Plek, and it's by the water.
287
And it's like a bar, restaurant, but there's also a little beach here, and I see some people in their bathing suits sunning themselves.
288
So it's just like a really good use of warmer industrial space.
289
You know, it's like open and airy.
290
I think Amsterdam and Northern Europe is so good at just making like really fun, livable spaces for people and this is a really good example of that.
291
This is a Campari Spritz and it's really good.
292
I was sober for nine months, but I am breaking my dry spell in Europe.
293
It only seems appropriate.
294
You know, as an American, every time I come to Europe, it always just feels like the cities are so alive and people know how to enjoy life.
295
If you've been to cities in the United States, you know, there's pockets that are alive, but on the streets you don't see a lot of people out.
296
I think that's because our culture is so car-centric, so you just don't see as many people on the streets.
297
Whereas here, the public transport is very well connected, and here there's so many bike lanes, in Amsterdam specifically.
298
So the city just feels so crowded all the time.
299
And then there's just like a lot more outdoor seating options, so people are really outside at cafes and bars and restaurants.
300
Also in big cities in Europe, businesses and residential areas exist in the same areas.
301
In the US you have specific residential areas and specific areas for businesses, so it's kind of separate.
302
But here, because everything's all mixed together, you know, people are just out and about all the time.
303
It's always just like buzzing, like it's a great atmosphere.
304
I love living in the US too, but I feel like if we can somehow figure that out and make our cities feel more alive,
305
it would be amazing but again nowhere's perfect so it is what it is there's dory down there
306
i'm happy we came here this area is definitely worth a
307
visit it reminds me a little bit of bushwick brooklyn
308
if it were like cleaner
309
and more expansive you know sometimes these hipster areas like aren't super worth it
310
but this one is really cool and definitely bring your bike
311
because it's pretty big so it makes it very convenient
312
and it kind of is fun you know it feels like you're cycling around like an adult playground
313
This restaurant is really cool.
314
It's called Muders.
315
It means mother.
316
And you can see that there are thousands of pictures of mothers everywhere.
317
All over the walls and the windows.
318
It's really cool.
319
I like the vibe.
320
They're very homey, kind of like a diner, but obviously very quirky.
321
And their specialty here is very traditional Dutch food.
322
Learning some fun facts about the restaurant.
323
And all of these photos are actually brought in by guests over the years.
324
So they are real mothers of people who have dined here.
325
And none of the cutlery matches because they were brought by the first people who came when the restaurant opened in 1990.
326
90. So you can see each plate is a little bit different in all the cups too, which kind of adds to that like cozy homey vibe.
327
A nice beef carpaccio to start, just a simple little starter.
328
You got the thin slices of raw beef of course, different types of nuts, pumpkin seeds,
329
pine nuts, pecan, some tomatoes and lettuce and a little pesto it looks like.
330
Mmm.
331
Oh wow.
332
That is really, really nice.
333
You get a nice texture with the nuts, and that pesto is so fresh.
334
The beef has a nice texture, but I mean you can barely taste it like a good parpaccio should be, honestly.
335
Food in this part of Europe tends to be very simple and hearty, very meat and potatoes, which is exactly what this is.
336
This is Stam Pot.
337
So it is a mound of mashed potatoes.
338
This one has sauerkraut inside it.
339
Then there's a pork sausage, a beef meatball, and bacon.
340
It's like comparable to Thanksgiving food in the US.
341
Mmm.
342
Mmm.
343
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm.
344
Very flavorful.
345
Tastes a little bit like a kielbasa, actually.
346
And the potatoes are amazing.
347
Like buttery, smooth.
348
I love the sauerkraut inside.
349
Super comfort-y.
350
Perfect for a cold day.
351
I'm a meat and potatoes girl.
352
I can get down.
353
You're always going to have a good time in Amsterdam, especially in the summer, when boats cruise down the canals,
354
cafes spill into the streets, and the entire city seems to come alive.
355
Grab a coffee or beer by the water and watch the bikes glide past.
356
Take in the rhythm of everyday life.
357
Amsterdam is famous for many reasons, but I think the best part about it is the way it makes simple things feel.
358
Maybe that's why I keep coming back.
359
Now your heart pounds You're living

Guia Passo a Passo para Shadowing com Este Vídeo
O shadowing em inglês é uma técnica poderosa para melhorar a pronúncia e a fluência, e este vídeo é perfeito para praticá-la! Aqui está como fazer:
Passo 1: Escute e observe o ritmo
Assista o vídeo sem legendas e preste atenção ao tom entusiástico do falante e às pausas entre as frases. Frases como "I can manage that" ou "It's really nice" são rápidas, mas com intonação clara – anote isso!
Passo 2: Repita imediatamente
Use o recurso de pausa e repita cada frase logo após o falante. Isso é o shadowspeak: imitar não só as palavras, mas também a entonação e o fluxo. Para frases mais longas, como "These were built very strategically in the 17th century", divida em partes e pratique cada uma.
Passo 3: Foque nas expressões cotidianas
As frases extraídas (como as do top 5) são usadas no dia a dia, então dedique mais tempo a elas. Repita "Sorry! Oh, shit!" para treinar a reação espontânea – é essencial para a fluência!
Passo 4: Grave e compare
Grave sua voz e compare com o vídeo. Você notará diferenças pequenas, como a pronúncia de "canals" (com o som "k" suave) ou "charming" (com o "tch" claro). Ajuste e repita até sentir que está "no mesmo ritmo".
Com prática diária, você verá progressos rápidos – e aprender inglês com vídeos nunca foi tão divertido! Lembre: o shadowing não é sobre ser perfeito, é sobre se sentir confortável falando como um nativo.

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
