Could it actually make you smarter?
3
Today I'm at Maison Maroon, one of the most popular chocolate shops in Vietnam, and we will be sampling,
4
testing, and tasting all of the wonderful chocolate inside,
5
all while learning English in the real world.
6
Let's get some sugar.
7

8
Oh, it's very rainy outside.
9
So, we're inside.
10
Let's sample some chocolates.
11
Before we do that, the first word.
12
I'm standing on the drowned floor.
13
Not the first floor, the ground floor.
14
Ha ha.
15
So this is the name of the shop.
16
Maison Maru maison in French means house.
17
Did you know I can speak French?
18
Step one is to get a basket.
19
These are lovely wicker baskets.
20
Wicker is this crosshatch material.
21
So we have just sampled the 76 % dark chocolate.
22
It's a little bit bitter but I like it.
23
So I'm going to take a bar of chocolate.
24
This is a bar of chocolate.
25
Here we have lots of chocolate on display and the chocolate bars are on little shelves.
26
This is a little shelf attached or fixed to the wall.
27
The wall, the shelf, the bar of chocolate.
28
Dirt chocolate, caramelized and spiced cashews.
29
That one is dangerously good.
30
I just come and try other free samples.
31
Great, I'm gonna buy a lot for these are the samples
32
when you try it you are sampling the chocolate
33
I am trying a sample I can also use the verb I'm sampling it I'm trying it
34
to get better at speaking focus on building a small daily habits
35
I want to I'll show you how you can use Sprout to cultivate and build a speaking habit.
36
We just added a super cool feature where you can turn any YouTube video into an English lesson.
37
Sprout gives you key vocab from that video and you can speak about it with J .I.
38
He will ask you questions about the video topic and help you use the new words you learned.
39
After you finish speaking, you get feedback to find out what you're doing well and where you can improve.
40
It's such a simple but powerful way to become fluent in English.
41
Listening with attention and speaking every day.
42
If you want to check out Spout, I'll leave a link in the description box.
43
You can try it for seven days free and turn any YouTube video into an English.
44
All right guys, well the shop was empty and now the shop is very full.
45
We just had a lot of tourists come inside the shop to try the chocolate like us.
46
Milk chocolate is chocolate that has more sugar, more milk, more cream inside it.
47
Dark chocolate is stronger, more bitter and it has less sugar generally.
48
So dark chocolate is the one that is better for our boy, I guess.
49
More on that later.
50
These are little wooden tweezers that you use to pick up the piece of chocolate.
51
This is a piece of chocolate.
52
You can also use tweezers to look your eyebrows.
53
Metal tweezers, not these tweezers.
54
I'm not going to do that.
55
That's weird.
56
These are boxes of chocolates and on the box we have a purple ribbon.
57
This is a ribbon.
58
I'm going to get this box of Halloween chocolates.
59
Deliciously dark. In the basket.
60
On these shelves we have the cacao nibs.
61
And these cacao nibs are the crunchy bits of the cacao bean that are crushed up from the cacao pods.
62
So all chocolate comes from a cacao tree.
63
On the cacao tree, the fruit is a cacao pod.
64
And inside the cacao pod is the cacao beans.
65
Cacao nibs are crushed up cacao beans.
66
And they are quite bitter.
67
They don't have any sugar added to them.
68
I love these little things they're very good for our brains
69
and they give you that satisfaction of chocolate without all the sugar.
70
Maison Maru source their chocolate from six different regions across Vietnam.
71
And each colour of each bar represents the region from where the cacao came from.
72
To get the best chocolate, we have to get in the car and head out to the countryside to source the best beans.
73
So I've got three things in my basket.
74
A tin of cacao nibs, a box of dark chocolate, Halloween special, and a bar of dark chocolate.
75
And it's very busy in the shop now, so we're going to buy these, maybe a drink, and then head upstairs.
76
I'm buying the items now and I want to teach you guys a word.
77
She is scanning the items.
78
She scans the items, it makes a sound.
79
Can I also take the Maru signature pot for here please with a boba, chocolate boba.
80
Tapping the card.
81
This is the receipt.
82
Receipt is your confirmation of order.
83
Perfect, thank you.
84
All right, numero uno, number one.
85
Okay, now let's go up the stairs to the upstairs sitting.
86
This is a hand rail,
87
a hand rail used to support you if you struggle to get up the stairs.
88
And this is the staircase, the staircase.
89
Chang is walking up the stairs, this whole thing is called the staircase.
90
The place where the stairs are is the staircase.
91
And we are sitting at the table by the window.
92
A nice bright open window and the lovely waitress has just brought us some drinks.
93
So this is the hot chocolate and they have drawn an M on the foam with cocoa powder.
94
The top of the hot chocolate is called foam.
95
If you've been watching the channel for a while, then thank you.
96
And you'll notice that I often repeat words so that they can help stick in your brain it is better.
97
Repetition is the key to learning anything.
98
So with that let's repeat some of the words I've already taught.
99
This is a hot chocolate in a mug.
100
What's the material of the mug?
101
The material is porcelain.
102
This is a porcelain mug.
103
Normally I just say mug.
104
Where am I holding it?
105
I'm holding the handle.
106
This is the handle of the mug which you hold like this.
107
I could also say I'm gripping the handle.
108
Now, I talked previously, on top of the hot chocolate we have the foam, which is like that, the bubbles on top.
109
You have foam on top of a hot chocolate, a beer, or when you shampoo your hair.
110
Where does the mug sit?
111
The mug sits on the saucer.
112
And this is a teaspoon to stir the hot chocolate or put my boba balls.
113
into the hot chocolate.
114
Would you say perfect savor or anything perfect?
115
Yeah.
116
I've never been having a cup of tea.
117
I just sipped the hot chocolate and I would say that it's very rich.
118
It's very rich means that the taste is strong.
119
Oh yeah.
120
It is satisfying.
121
Oh god.
122
It's nice.
123
That's good.
124
Oh, it's a bit of a bucket bubble.
125
Just finished my hot chocolate and now, as always, let's go learn some English in the real world.
126
But before we do that, look what we have here.
127
It's only Jack.
128
Say hello.
129
She's the.. my lovely partner who always helps me film these videos.
130
She's the magic behind the camera.
131
So this is the area where the staff make the desserts and the chocolates.
132
So in here she's spreading the melted chocolate in the mould.
133
Over here we have a seating area with cushions on the chair.
134
And this is called the arm of the chair.
135
And it's made of wood, just like the wooden floor.
136
Up here we have the wall.
137
This is the wall and on this wall it's a funky, colourful pattern.
138
The word funky means stylish and I love the word funky.
139
In the corner there is a plant.
140
On the right of the plant there is a picture in the frame.
141
The picture shows all the different regions on the map where they grow the chocolates.
142
On this wall there are pictures hanging up.
143
The pictures are hanging on the wall.
144
On this picture there is a wooden frame.
145
The frame is the edge of the picture or the poster and this is a cacao pod.
146
This picture is of an old Vietnamese lady who is clearly a cacao farmer.
147
She looks very happy.
148
There are cacao beans in front of her.
149
So I described that wall as funky.
150
I love the word funky.
151
Let me show you something else that we can describe as funky.
152
No, it's not me.
153
It is this cushion.
154
This cushion has a funky pattern.
155
It's wavy.
156
You can use the word funky in many different contexts.
157
For example, funky music or a funky pattern on the wall.
158
And on the wall, there are lots of tools.
159
Let's take a closer look.
160
Here is a picture of a hand holding some cacao beans.
161
This is the rake for spreading and turning the beans as they dry in the soil.
162
In this picture there is a hand holding a red cacao pod and a green cacao pod.
163
They may have snipped these cacao pods from the tree with this pair of scissors.
164
This is a pair of scissors or we could say these are scissors.
165
Up here is a sieve.
166
This sieve is used for sifting the cocoa powder so it's fine and smooth.
167
This is a spatula which they use for scooping out the chocolate into these plastic molds.
168
These are the plastic molds where they pour the melted chocolate inside.
169
Speaking of melted chocolate, this is melted chocolate inside the bowl.
170
It's in a metal bowl and she is spreading the melted chocolate into the blue plastic mold.
171
When something melts it turns from a solid, solid to a liquid.
172
So when I eat this piece of chocolate it will melt in my mouth.
173
chocolate is starting to melt in my mouth and generally
174
when food melts in your mouth it's considered pleasant note by the way
175
that i said a piece of chocolate that's a collocation we can have a piece of chocolate
176
if you break off a piece it might be called a chunk of chocolate
177
or as i said earlier you can have a bar of chocolate
178
so can eating chocolates actually help you become better at english can it make
179
you smarter well the science says yes if you eat chocolate
180
that is above 80 or more it has less sugar in it
181
and it's more pure just like these cacao nibs which are 100 % chocolate.
182
When you eat the stronger chocolates then you have the plant chemical called flavonols which are good for your memory,
183
they improve your mood, literally make you happier and improve your focus because chocolate has caffeine in too.
184
So including a little bit of chocolates in your daily routine will actually help you learn English better
185
and it'll make you happier.
186
But it has to be dark chocolate.
187
I have to admit I have a bit of a sweet tooth and that's the final phrase of the day,
188
to have a sweet tooth which means to enjoy sweet food.
189
So I only buy dark chocolate in the house around 80 %
190
so that when I want to indulge in the chocolate I eat a bit more than I should
191
but it's good for me.
192
Now do you have a sweet tooth?
193
Do you love chocolate?
194
Are you gonna convert or change to dark chocolates after learning this information?
195
It might help you with your English.
196
Thank you, keep learning, and I'll see you next time

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.
