1
How do you fancy learning lots of English expressions by coming for a walk with me down my favourite English street?
2
Hi, I'm Steve and this is Castle Street, Liverpool, England.
3
Let's do this!
4
We're going to head down this way, along one of the oldest streets in Liverpool, where we'll find out the interesting way that it got its name.
5
Around here, streets are kept fairly free from litter.
6
Most people here use litter bins like these to chuck it away.
7
People who simply drop litter on the ground really wind me up, and they're called litter bugs.
8
It's early doors and you can see a couple of gents sitting having a chinwag over their coffee.
9
I'm walking along the pavement and the edge is called the curb, which you step off to cross the road.
10
At these traffic lights you can see a bike has been drawn on the road.
11
This shows that cyclists can stop in front of other traffic.
12
Now I'm crossing over using a Pelican crossing.
13
Just press and the green man is showing, sorted over weekend.
14
In this area, normal vehicles aren't allowed, so it's called a pedestrian area.
15
So originally this would have been a castle, but the owner of the castle chose the wrong side in the English Civil War,
16
and so it was destroyed.
17
And now it's a court of law.
18
And the architect tried to make it resemble the original castle.
19
I suppose if you squint your eyes a little bit you can see it.
20
Some of the stone from the old castle was used to build the dock area of Liverpool.
21
Also on the old castle grounds is this monument.
22
And it's fluky that it's still here.
23
Because during the Second World War, this city was bombed during what was known as the Blitz.
24
This whole area took a battering, with the exception of this.
25
Let's take a gander at the monument, because it has an embarrassing secret.
26
Now this is probably the most famous Queen of England there's ever been.
27
Queen Victoria had tons of things named after her around the world.
28
like Victoria Falls in Africa, Victoria Station in London and the state of Victoria in Australia.
29
Now I'm going to tell you something a little bit naughty, so if you don't want to hear it, fast forward a few seconds.
30
When I was younger, I used to walk past this monument every day with my friends.
31
And we always had a chuckle because if you stand at this angle, it looks a little bit like she has a willy.
32
I'm sorry, but I was a teenage boy.
33
What do you expect?
34
Although you still see people come and stop and take pictures of exactly this.
35
Now these scooters are all over Liverpool and they're a cheap way of getting around.
36
You just tap your credit card, jump on, go to where you're going and then just leave it.
37
Just wait for the green man so I can cross.
38
To the left you can see a large Italian flag.
39
This is because the original building which was a bank is now an Italian restaurant.
40
Ok, so now there are a few more people out and about, but it's hardly packed.
41
Originally Most of the buildings on this street were banks.
42
But these days they've all been repurposed and used for a variety of businesses.
43
For example, this was originally the North and South Wales Bank.
44
Now it's a luxury hotel.
45
Next door is this cocktail bar, which isn't really my cup of tea.
46
And now there's this gin distillery.
47
In the times of the castle, it was the home of sisters who were collared and tried as witches donkeys years ago.
48
Past a place where you paid to park your car.
49
Across the road you can see a lady's hairdressers.
50
This one's owned by a TV celebrity called Andrew Collinge.
51
Let's sniff over and take a look.
52
To hazard a guess, a haircut here will probably leave you skint.
53
Although undoubtedly worth it.
54
Looking back at the way we've just come, you can get a better view of the buildings, and you can see just how impressive they are.
55
I'm going to cross back over here to show you my favourite Greek restaurant, Zeus.
56
Notice in the UK, although there are usually lots of pedestrian crossings around, as long as you're careful, you can cross a road pretty much anywhere.
57
Now this is very much my cup of tea.
58
You can see one of the staff arranging the tables and chairs outside, ready for the lunchtime customers.
59
Just like many other restaurants, you can see the menu from the street.
60
This all looks good to me, but as always, my eyes are bigger than my belly.
61
Just along from here, if you look up, this building has been converted into short-stay apartments.
62
So a while ago, I used to stay here and do my shopping in here.
63
This is a small supermarket or a general store that sells just about all you need for a short stay.
64
Some people call them a corner shop because originally they were always built at the end of the road.
65
If you're a regular viewer of my channel, you might recognize this coffee shop as it's been featured in a few of my videos.
66
Originally, it was of course a bank and it has these amazing carved doors.
67
You often find me inside having a brew and people watching through the window.
68
One of the things you can see from here is this building, which used to be a branch of the Bank of England.
69
This is one of the most expensive restaurants in the whole of the UK.
70
too pricey for me.
71
Let's crack on.
72
Past this Vietnamese restaurant and some people taking the weight off their feet.
73
Here is Elif, a Turkish restaurant.
74
And having spent some time in Turkey, I have to say, the food here is top draw.
75
Plus, as you can see, they've even rolled out the red carpet.
76
Most people as they stroll along the pavement will walk right over this, but it's one of the oldest things in the whole city.
77
It's called the Sanctuary Stone and it's been in this exact spot for 700 years,
78
making it what we call medieval.
79
Its purpose was to show the boundary of the local fair and market.
80
Everyone between it and the castle couldn't be arrested for owing money.
81
Hope it still works.
82
Squeezing past these plants, you can see here on a wall a plaque that tells passers-by all about it.
83
we're going to take a little detour across here.
84
Nice shorts mate.
85
Let me take you down the prettiest street in Liverpool.
86
Like the Sanctuary Stone, lots of visitors don't even know this alleyway is here.
87
And yet as you can see, it's full of a variety of small shops and places to eat and drink.
88
Even the hanging baskets are lush.
89
When I need a special bottle of wine, this is the place I come.
90
You can see this is a small art gallery which reminds me I need a few pictures for my new flat.
91
Here at the end, a recruitment agency which finds jobs for people.
92
I hope you enjoyed that little detour.
93
Now, back to Castle Street.
94
At this end you can see the Liverpool Town Hall where the local council keeps the city running.
95
Behind me is the Liverpool Town Hall.
96
This is the balcony the famous people come out to say hello to huge crowds.
97
Like the royal family.
98
Even a pop group told the Beatles.
99
They might have heard of that.
100
Let's take a closer look.
101
The beeping sound you hear is for letting blind people know that it's safe to cross.
102
This is the welcome mat to the town hall.
103
So Castle Street joins to Water Street and it's called Water Street because as you can see behind me the river,
104
Well that used to come all the way up to here, so all this land is all reclaimed.
105
Now behind the town hall there's two references to death.
106
One is modern and one is from a long time ago.
107
Here you can see another monument.
108
I think this is my favourite.
109
Let me just clear up the difference between a monument and a statue.
110
While both are built to remember and honor someone or something, the monument is usually larger, more complex, like this.
111
This is one of the UK's greatest heroes.
112
His name was Admiral Lord Nelson.
113
And this monument shows death coming to claim him.
114
On the other side of this square, we come to the other death reference.
115
Now you remember you learned earlier that the city of Liverpool was bombed heavily during the war.
116
Just wait for these ladies to pass.
117
In the Second World War, Liverpool was one of the most bombed cities.
118
It was nearly flattened.
119
And bombs fell right here.
120
And they caused this damage.
121
And the city have decided to leave it as a reminder of the bad times that people went through.
122
If you like learning English this way, flick here for more and I'll see you there.
123
As we say in Liverpool, ta-ra!

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.
