Welcome back everyone to another comprehensible input vlog.

This video is part of my 3,000 most common English word

series designed to help you understand up to 95% of spoken English.

In today's video, we are going to be exploring some of the most beautiful places in Vietnam.

You'll also be learning vocabulary, simple phrases, natural expressions, and you'll hear real native English speakers talk.

I know how to swim, but it's just fur.

Let's start hiking.

It's stunning.

The town is downstream.

I was just so thirsty.

And did somebody drop their water?

This path is extremely narrow.

My legs are aching.

When it gets darker, it'll look even better.

Customary to tip them.

50,000 at the end.

Security or surveillance cameras.

Start the word count and let's go.

Okay, so we just stopped on the side of the road on our way to to Muaw Cave and Muaw Mountain.

That's where you see the beautiful, beautiful viewpoint of all of Ninbin and the surrounding rice fields, rivers, and mountains.

But right now we stopped to take a look at these boats.

If you look at the river here, you will see a lot of boats in the water.

And these people, I guess, are just taking a boat ride down this river because it's very beautiful and scenic.

And right now it's busy because it's almost golden hour.

So there are a lot of people that want to go and watch the sunset now.

So they're heading out on the boats

and you can see everyone has these bright neon orange life jackets on just in case they fall in the water.

I'm sure most people probably know how to swim, but it's just for extra safety.

But you can see the people rowing, they don't have any life jacket on.

But yeah, let's head to the mountain, Mount Mua.

Let's go.

Get my 3000 most common English words PDF from my website in the description.

Okay, so we just bought the tickets for Muwa Mountain.

Now we're gonna start climbing it from here.

It's not too far, they said 500 staves.

There's also a cave.

Cave and mountain.

Oh, look at this beautiful area.

It's just a pond filled with lily pads.

That's super nice.

You can see a lot of people down there walking.

But we need to make it to the top up there.

We need to make it up there before it gets too dark.

So let's start hiking.

But we don't want to be there for sunset because then it's dark already.

We want to be there when we can still see everything.

Look at this pond with fish.

There are so many fish.

They are very brightly colored.

Some fish are white.

Some fish are orange.

But most fish are both.

And some are even partly black.

You can see many different colors of fish here in the water.

The water is a green murky color.

You can see the vines coming from this tree are almost touching the surface of the water.

This tree has a lot of vines.

Leon's dead.

We just have a little bit more to go.

Oh, Mom's right there.

I'm on top.

She's just right there.

Yeah, no, it's not that far.

It's just hot.

It's humid, huh?

Yeah, it's just humid.

Want some water?

Give it to Leon, he's dying.

We're almost at the top here.

It's just up there.

Now it's getting really busy because I guess it's almost sunset.

Refuel, recharge, and then we'll make it the rest of the way.

How are you feeling, Mom?

I'm feeling better than our cameraman that we lost.

Yeah, we lost him.

Unfortunately, Leon was not able to make it this high.

I think he's coming up maybe after, but he's having cramping issues.

So we are just up here.

You can see how beautiful this view is.

It's stunning.

This honestly looks like Avatar.

This is a nice view.

It really does remind me of Avatar.

Like the mountains, doesn't it?

Yeah, absolutely.

You can see people on boats there.

You know they go underneath the mountain there?

Oh, no. Yeah, it's pretty cool.

So where's the town? That way?

Yeah, the town is downstream.

At the top here, it was a little difficult to get up here.

I had to go through there, but yeah, now I'm up here.

And the view here is really nice.

So we're walking down now, but the rocks are very slippery.

You can see they're like polished.

So we have to step on the cement only.

Because so many people step on the rocks that they just are so smooth now.

So we kind of have to walk like sideways and just on the cement part.

And Leon didn't make it up, so we'll see if we find him on the way down.

100

So Leon is now flying his drone.

101

You can see, he's flying his drone.

102

Why are you sweating so much, dude?

103

I just kept sweating, I just couldn't stop.

104

I thought I was gonna lose consciousness you got to the top yeah i was just

105

so thirsty and then somebody dropped their water on the ground

106

and i was like man i gotta drink this water

107

so you drank it no i didn't i sat there for

108

a good 25 minutes just breathing oh my god bro we went to the top

109

and i went to the very top i was on everything

110

literally looked no on the dragon head like yeah the dragon pictures from there is way nicer no

111

because there you can see the full like panoramic 360

112

so i got some footage of that but you have the drone

113

so i haven't even drank any water yet i'm just built different okay let's bounce it's It's going to get dark soon, so we should head down.

114

Yeah, let's go through the paddy field there.

115

Yeah.

116

So Leon is landing the drone now.

117

He's landing the drone.

118

Okay, guys, now we're going to have a shadowing practice.

119

So read along and really focus on your accent and pronunciation.

120

This is a huge rocky mountain with steep cliffs, narrow paths, and dramatic views.

121

Dark grey rocks cover most of the mountain and small green plants are growing between the cracks.

122

Many people are climbing up and down the stone stairs while carefully walking along the edge of the mountain.

123

Near the top, there is a tall pagoda standing on the highest point of the rocks.

124

The pagoda looks small from far away, but it stands out clearly against the bright sky.

125

Long lines of visitors are slowly moving toward the summit to enjoy the view.

126

In the foreground, there is a tiny building with a red roof built directly into the rocky landscape.

127

The rocks look rough, sharp, uneven, and natural.

128

In the distance, you can see green fields, small buildings, and flat land spreading across the horizon.

129

The sky is wide and cloudy, with soft light covering the entire scene.

130

The atmosphere feels adventurous, exciting, and slightly intense because of the height and narrow paths.

131

Want more practice?

132

Get the workbook for this lesson on my website and review the vocabulary, grammar, and real English from this video.

133

We've come a long way and now we're at the bottom.

134

Let's walk through this field a little bit.

135

Lotus.

136

Oh, these are lotus?

137

I believe this is a lotus field.

138

Those ones there.

139

Wait, do lotus grow in water like this?

140

Yes.

141

And I believe that they are not in bloom at the moment, as you can see.

142

But that pink one over there is, yeah, is a lotus.

143

Oh, and they cook with that, right?

144

I don't know if they cook with it, but I know they use the seed.

145

I have eaten some of the seeds.

146

It's actually really yummy.

147

There are a lot of photo spots throughout this field.

148

And here you can see this path is extremely narrow.

149

It's very narrow.

150

Don't fall in.

151

I'm a little bit off balance because I'm tired.

152

Your legs hurt.

153

Dude, my legs are aching.

154

My legs are aching right now.

155

You can see up there, some people are taking photos.

156

Or maybe we should go this way because I think those people want to come out.

157

So that is what the lotus flowers look like when they bloom.

158

So that's what this whole field would look like if it bloomed.

159

Unfortunately, it's not in bloom, although there are a few flowers.

160

Here, there is a sign that says, do not pick the flowers.

161

I think this would be very beautiful in full bloom when all the flowers are in full bloom.

162

Unfortunately, that is not right now.

163

I'm not sure if you can hear that creaking, but that bench is creaking a lot. That swing.

164

Yeah, this swing, this bench swing.

165

This is quite nice.

166

I'm pretty tired though.

167

I think we should go back.

168

Definitely have a shower after our long day.

169

Goodness, and then go and find some food.

170

Yeah, we definitely need to have a shower.

171

Like, we've been sweating all day and we are just tired.

172

Especially that last hike, or this last hike we did, man.

173

Holy...

174

Yeah.

175

Tired, dude.

176

High five to me for being your partner in crime today.

177

Yeah, Leon could not do it.

178

I didn't know he was that out of shape.

179

He needs to get into the gym again. For real.

180

That was like leg day.

181

It wasn't even that high, 500 steps.

182

No, it's not, but it's the humidity.

183

It just gets to you.

184

These lanterns do look very nice.

185

I think once it gets darker, it'll look even better.

186

Yeah, it looks really pretty.

187

They seem to hang them all around the lakes and areas where tourists seem to gather, but it looks very nice.

188

Yeah, no, it is really nice.

189

Okay, mom, what do you have in your hand there?

190

Oh, I have my backpack and my life jacket, and now I am going to put on my hat because it is super sunny.

191

Facts.

192

So, Leon's also grabbing a life jacket.

193

Oh, these are clean.

194

So, Leon just handed me my life jacket.

195

So, I'm about to put this life jacket on, but I need both hands.

196

Leon's putting his on.

197

Leon has a blue and a green life jacket.

198

Because he's the camera guy.

199

This camera wasn't in there.

200

He just dropped the bag with all the important stuff.

201

That battery thing has a case.

202

Bro, that buckle is not going to hold.

203

Why is it so tight?

204

Why is it so tight?

205

How do I loosen?

206

Oh, these don't loosen it.

207

It's like sideways.

208

The sides here at the back.

209

Bro, why don't you just get a bigger life jacket, bro?

210

You're always like the Michelin man.

211

You got it on the camera though, huh?

212

Yeah.

213

Okay.

214

Now I'm going to put my life jacket on.

215

Let me buckle up my life jacket.

216

Dude, I am bright in this.

217

I feel like you can see me from a mile away.

218

Yeah, now we're ready to go on the boat here.

219

So I just went through here and now the rest of them are also going through.

220

Okay, so now we're gonna wait up here until we get a boat and then we'll go on the boat.

221

And also I do think it's like customary to tip them.

222

50,000 at the end.

223

Oh.

224

That's what I've been told.

225

Okay.

226

That's how it was last time I was here.

227

Oh, we could just tip the boat driver.

228

They said, yeah, you usually tip the boat driver.

229

I'm like, if a guy's gonna row me for two hours with this beef, I'll give him a tip.

230

He's going to row our heavy boats.

231

He earned it.

232

Yes, definitely.

233

He or she, because there is a lot of ladies rowing.

234

There are, yeah.

235

Okay, now we're getting on our boat here.

236

Shoot.

237

Got it.

238

Got it.

239

Get on camera boy.

240

Yeah, but now we're on the river.

241

Now I'm gonna put on sunscreen, Korean sunscreen.

242

And I can say what I'm going to do.

243

I'm going to clean my sunglasses.

244

So I'm putting sunscreen on my face because I don't have a hat and it is just really sunny out right now.

245

Like, oh, the sun just came out from behind the clouds.

246

And I can just feel myself about to burn.

247

Let me apply the sunscreen without a mirror.

248

Can they make sunscreen for scalps?

249

Yeah.

250

You can just put on normal sunscreen.

251

It's skin.

252

No?

253

Or is that flawed logic?

254

Yeah, have you ever burned your scalp before?

255

No, I have not.

256

Have you heard of that, though?

257

Yeah, I've heard of people burning their scalps, but I don't think I've ever burnt my scalp.

258

Yeah, I think it's probably one of the most painful places to get burnt

259

because that part of your body usually never gets any sun on it, so it's just pale.

260

It has no sun resistance, so if you burn your scalp, it's just brutal.

261

If you burn enough that you peel, it's like you have the worst dandruff getting that out.

262

Isn't it like, how can you go most of your life without burning your scalp, and then all of a sudden you burn your scalp?

263

Is it just because you were in the sun for so long?

264

I think if you start losing hair or if you change a hairstyle that exposes your scalp, then you could burn your scalp.

265

But most people have not burned their scalps.

266

Yeah, I've never burned my scalp, so I'm not really sure the pain, but I have burned my body.

267

That pain is no joke.

268

That's serious stuff.

269

Wow.

270

I think I burned yesterday too.

271

You could see the tan line from my sunglasses in between my nose.

272

I didn't burn.

273

I never burned.

274

But yeah, now we're on the...

275

It's like a river, but it just like flows so gently.

276

There are a lot of people here.

277

This is really, really nice man.

278

Like look at these rocks and everything.

279

I wonder how deep the water is.

280

You want to jump in?

281

No, I've seen some videos on some people that have jumped in.

282

Look at the bridge, it's so pretty.

283

You can see right up ahead of us, there is a bridge.

284

And we will be going underneath the bridge.

285

Yo, what are you working on?

286

Yo, I'm working on my channel right now.

287

I just started, I'm going to be posting once a week if you guys want to check it out.

288

I'll be posting my shadowing stories on my second channel, Volca.

289

And I've also started posting these videos as podcasts.

290

Here you can see they have security or surveillance cameras in the water here.

291

Literally, it's in the water.

292

Oh, this guy's rowing with his hands though.

293

Nope, he's switching over to his feet.

294

Now he's rowing with his feet.

295

You can see that's how they row with their feet.

296

All of these guys row with their feet.

297

I guess it's easier because they do it all day.

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.
