Before we start, I have a small question for you.

18
Alright, let's start the video.
19
Are you ready?
20
Okay, let's begin.
21
Good morning, Mina.
22
Over here.
23
Sam, good morning.
24
Wow, what a beautiful Sunday.
25
Yeah, perfect weather for walking.
26
How was your morning?
27
Great.
28
I had some yogurt and fruit at home.
29
I was too excited to eat much.
30
Good, because after breakfast here,
31
I'm taking you to eat the most famous thing in NYC.
32
The most famous thing?
33
What is it?
34
Is it bread?
35
Cake?
36
I'm not telling you yet.
37
It's a surprise for later.
38
Come on, Sam.
39
Just a hint, please.
40
Nope.
41
You'll find out when we get there.
42
Trust me, it's going to be fun.
43
Okay, okay.
44
I'll stop asking.
45
For now.
46
Good.
47
So, let's start with breakfast.
48
Okay.
49
Then tell me about this place.
50
This bakery looks so French.
51
It is.
52
This is Balthazar Bakery.
53
It opened in 1997.
54
It's a famous French brasserie and bakery.
55
A brasserie?
56
What's that?
57
It's a kind of French restaurant.
58
Casual, but with really good food.
59
And the bread here is amazing.
60
So it's been here for almost 30 years?
61
Yeah, almost 30 years.
62
New Yorkers love this place.
63
It's a classic.
64
A classic.
65
Nice.
66
Where are we exactly?
67
The streets look so pretty.
68
We're in Soho.
69
Do you know what Soho means?
70
No, I always wondered about that name.
71
It means South of Houston Street.
72
So, so, ho.
73
South of Houston.
74
Oh, that's so simple.
75
I love it.
76
So, Balthazar first, then the big secret?
77
Exactly.
78
Let's go inside.
79
I'm hungry.
80
Good morning.
81
Welcome to Balthazar.
82
What can I get for you?
83
Good morning.
84
Um, everything looks so good.
85
Can I have a moment?
86
Of course.
87
Take your time.
88
Okay, I'd like one croissant and one pan au chocolat, please.
89
Great choice.
90
Both are fresh from the oven this morning.
91
Fresh from the oven?
92
Wow, so they're still warm?
93
Just a little warm.
94
We bake them early in the morning, every day.
95
That sounds amazing.
96
And I also want to buy some bread to take home.
97
What do you recommend?
98
Our baguette is very popular.
99
It's crusty outside and soft inside.
100
Crusty?
101
What does that mean?
102
It means the outside is hard and makes a crunchy sound when you bite it.
103
Oh, I love that.
104
A French baguette is supposed to be like that, right?
105
Exactly.
106
A real French baguette has a crusty outside and a light, airy inside.
107
Airy.
108
So the inside has lots of little holes?
109
Yes, lots of little holes.
110
That's how you know it's a good baguette.
111
I'll take one baguette, please.
112
Sure.
113
A whole loaf or half?
114
A whole loaf, please.
115
Um, a loaf means the whole thing, right?
116
Yes.
117
A loaf is one whole piece of bread.
118
Got it.
119
So I can say one loaf of bread.
120
Perfect.
121
And would you like the baguette sliced?
122
Oh, what does sliced mean?
123
Like one slice at a time?
124
Right.
125
A slice is one thin piece.
126
We cut the loaf into many slices.
127
Ah, so one loaf, many slices.
128
I understand now.
129
Exactly.
130
So sliced or whole?
131
Whole, please.
132
Anything else?
133
A sourdough loaf, maybe?
134
Sourdough.
135
That's the one with a little sour taste, right?
136
Right.
137
Some people love it.
138
It goes well with cheese.
139
Maybe next time.
140
Just the baguette today.
141
OK.
142
One croissant, one pan au chocolat, and one baguette.
143
That's $22.
144
Here you go.
145
Thank you so much.
146
Thank you.
147
Enjoy your breakfast.
148
Wow!
149
Look at that croissant!
150
It's huge!
151
I know.
152
In Japan, croissants are smaller.
153
Yeah, in NYC, bakeries make them bigger and a little sweeter.
154
It's the American style.
155
Really?
156
But croissants are French, right?
157
Yes, they come from France.
158
But here, they changed a little.
159
Try it.
160
Okay, here I go.
161
So, how is it?
162
Oh my god, so buttery.
163
It just melts in my mouth.
164
Right?
165
Crispy outside, soft inside.
166
That's a good croissant.
167
Crispy.
168
I'll remember that word.
169
Crispy outside, soft inside.
170
Yeah, that's a good way to describe it.
171
You can use that for fried chicken, too.
172
Oh, nice.
173
And what about this pan au chocolat?
174
That one has chocolate inside.
175
Same buttery dough but with a chocolate bar baked in.
176
Pan means bread in French, right?
177
Right.
178
Pan au chocolat means bread with chocolate.
179
Simple and perfect.
180
Okay, trying the chocolate one now.
181
Take a big bite.
182
Mmm, the chocolate is still a little warm.
183
This is heaven.
184
I thought you'd like it.
185
The dough is so light.
186
It has lots of layers.
187
Yeah, that's the trick.
188
Croissant dough has many thin layers of butter and flour.
189
Amazing!
190
So this is why it feels so light and rich at the same time.
191
Exactly.
192
Now you understand croissants like a real New Yorker.
193
Okay, so Sam, about the famous thing, what is it?
194
Please tell me.
195
Nope, not yet.
196
Oh, come on.
197
Is it another bakery?
198
Maybe.
199
Maybe not.
200
Is it sweet or salty?
201
I'm not telling you.
202
Is it far from here?
203
We need to take the subway,
204
but trust me, it's worth the subway ride.
205
Worth the subway ride.
206
Okay, now I'm really curious.
207
Good.
208
That's the point.
209
Finish your croissant.
210
We have a train to catch.
211
Okay, okay.
212
Last bite.
213
Now, let's take a short break here.
214
We are going to practice some useful words from today's video.
215
We have five words today.
216
Are you ready?
217
Let's begin!
218
The first word is loaf.
219
The first word is loaf.
220
Meaning, a whole piece of bread before it is cut.
221
For example, I bought a loaf of bread at the bakery.
222
The second word is slice,
223
meaning one thin piece cut from a loaf.
224
For example, I had two slices of bread for breakfast.
225
The third word is crusty,
226
meaning hard and crunchy on the outside.
227
For example, a French baguette has a crusty outside.
228
The fourth word is crispy,
229
meaning light, dry, and easy to break.
230
For example, the croissant was warm and crispy.
231
The fifth word is gooey,
232
meaning soft, sticky, and a little wet.
233
For example, the warm cookie was gooey inside.
234
Great work!
235
That's all for today's word practice.
236
Now let's go back to Sam and Mina at the famous bakery in New York City.
237
Sam, what is this line?
238
This is the line for the famous thing.
239
There are so many people.
240
Where are we?
241
We're on the Upper West Side.
242
UWS for short.
243
And this is Livane Bakery.
244
Upper West Side.
245
Is that a fancy area?
246
Yeah, pretty fancy.
247
Central Park is right there.
248
Many families live here.
249
It feels calmer than Soho.
250
Yeah, a different feeling.
251
Anyway, this is Livane Bakery.
252
You know this name?
253
Levain Bakery.
254
I've seen this name on Instagram, I think.
255
Probably.
256
It's very famous.
257
People wait in line just for one thing.
258
Just for one thing?
259
What is it?
260
You'll see very soon.
261
Look at the line.
262
Almost everyone is getting the same item.
263
Wait.
264
Everyone has a small brown bag.
265
What's inside?
266
Wait and see, Mina.
267
Wait and see.
268
You're so mean today.
269
It's more fun this way.
270
Okay, some history.
271
Levain opened in 1995.
272
Two women started it.
273
They were marathon runners.
274
Marathon runners started a bakery?
275
Why?
276
They needed energy for long runs,
277
so they made something big.
278
And now it's world famous.
279
That's such a nice story.
280
Yeah.
281
Oh, the line is moving.
282
Are you hungry?
283
Very hungry.
284
Walking in NYC makes me so hungry.
285
Okay, you wait here outside.
286
It's too crowded inside.
287
I'll go in and order.
288
Got it.
289
Don't take too long.
290
I won't.
291
Save me a spot on that bench.
292
Okay, I'll save your spot.
293
Go, go.
294
Hi there.
295
Welcome to Levain.
296
What can I get you today?
297
Hi.
298
Two cookies, please.
299
Sure thing.
300
Which flavors?
301
Both chocolate chip walnut, please.
302
Good choice.
303
That's our classic, chocolate chip and walnut inside.
304
Yeah, it's my favorite.
305
Are they fresh today?
306
They are very fresh.
307
Just out of the oven.
308
Still warm, actually.
309
Just out of the oven?
310
Oh, that's perfect timing.
311
I know, right?
312
The line never ends, so we bake all day.
313
I can see that.
314
My friend has never had one before.
315
Oh, then she will love it.
316
The first time is the best.
317
Yeah, I want her to try it warm.
318
Good choice, then.
319
When cookies are still warm,
320
the chocolate inside is soft and melted.
321
That's the best part.
322
These cookies are heavy, right?
323
Very heavy.
324
Each one is about 170 grams.
325
Big and heavy.
326
Almost like a small meal.
327
Bigger than the palm of my hand.
328
Exactly.
329
Some people can't finish one alone.
330
I can.
331
Easily.
332
A big fan, then.
333
Anything else?
334
We also have bread, muffins, and coffee.
335
Just two waters, please.
336
The cookies are sweet, so we need water.
337
Good idea.
338
That'll be $18.
339
Here you go.
340
Thank you.
341
One more thing.
342
Eat them within 10 minutes if you want them warm.
343
Good tip.
344
We'll eat them right outside on the bench.
345
Perfect.
346
Enjoy.
347
And tell your friend, welcome to the Levain Club.
348
I will.
349
Thanks.
350
Okay, Mina.
351
Sit down.
352
I have the famous thing right here.
353
Let me see.
354
Let me see.
355
Open the bag.
356
Ready?
357
Here it is.
358
Oh my God!
359
It's a cookie, but it's huge.
360
Yes, a cookie.
361
A Levain cookie.
362
It's so big.
363
It's bigger than my hand.
364
How heavy is this?
365
About 170 grams.
366
Heavy, right?
367
Really heavy.
368
It feels like a rock.
369
But a delicious rock.
370
Break it open.
371
Pull it apart with your hands.
372
With my hands?
373
It's still warm.
374
Yeah, use your hands.
375
That's the best way.
376
Okay, here I go.
377
Oh, oh, Sam, look!
378
I know.
379
Cool, right?
380
The chocolate is melted.
381
It's stretching, like melted cheese, but chocolate.
382
Exactly.
383
That's why you eat it warm,
384
still warm inside from the oven.
385
And I can see walnuts, too.
386
Big pieces.
387
Yeah, chocolate chip and walnut.
388
That's the classic flavor.
389
Okay, I'm taking a bite.
390
Here I go.
391
Tell me everything.
392
Mmm.
393
Oh, wow.
394
It's crispy on the outside, but the inside?
395
The inside is so soft, like warm dough.
396
Right?
397
Crunchy outside, soft and gooey inside.
398
That's the magic.
399
Gooey?
400
What does gooey mean?
401
Gooey means soft and sticky,
402
like melted chocolate or warm caramel.
403
Perfect word.
404
Gooey.
405
I'll use that.
406
Good.
407
You're learning fast.
408
And the chocolate is so melted.
409
It's like chocolate sauce.
410
Yup.
411
Now you understand the line.
412
I totally understand.
413
I would wait one hour for this.
414
Some people wait two hours.
415
On weekends, the line goes down the street.
416
Two hours?
417
For a cookie?
418
For this cookie, yes.
419
Now I believe it.
420
So, are you ready for the big reveal?
421
Yes, yes.
422
Tell me.
423
This is NYC's most famous cookie.
424
People come from all over the world just to try it.
425
From all over the world?
426
Really?
427
Really.
428
Tourists from Japan, Korea, Europe, everywhere.
429
Now you know why people wait.
430
I get it now.
431
It's worth the subway ride.
432
It's worth the long line.
433
Exactly.
434
So, how you feel?
435
Sam, I'll remember this forever.
436
My first Levain cookie in NYC.
437
I'm glad.
438
Finish it.
439
We still have half the day.
440
Okay, one more bite.
441
Mmm, so good.
442
And next time you can order it yourself.
443
You know all the words now.

Chocolate chip, walnut, fresh, warm, out of the oven.

Почему важно практиковать разговорные навыки с этим видео?
Просмотр видео о булочной в Нью-Йорке предоставляет уникальную возможность для изучающих английский язык практика разговорного английского в контексте. Главные действующие лица, Сэм и Мина, ведут непринужденный диалог с персоналом булочной, что создает естественную атмосферу общения. Это позволяет вам услышать, как используются выражения в реальных ситуациях, что значительно улучшает понимание языка и уверенность в себе при разговоре.
Кроме того, видео записано медленно и четко, что делает его идеальным для начинающих. При помощи такого подхода можно не только развивать слух, но и отрабатывать произношение. Используйте метод shadowing английский, чтобы повторять за спикерами, улучшить произношение английского и освоить новые фразы и слова в процессе.
Грамматика и выражения в контексте
В этом видео можно выделить несколько ключевых грамматических структур и выражений:
- «What is it? Is it...?» – Эта конструкция показывает, как задавать вопросы и выражать предположения в разговоре.
- «Trust me» – Используется для создания доверия в общении. В таких выражениях важна интонация и уверенность.
- «It's a surprise for later» – Отличный пример использования будущего времени для создания интереса и напряжения в разговоре.
Понимание этих структур поможет вам более уверенно строить свои предложения и задавать вопросы в разговоре, а также создавать интересные диалоги. Применяйте эти и другие фразы на практике, чтобы учить английский с YouTube и развивать свои навыки коммуникации.
Распространенные трудности произношения
Некоторые слова и акценты могут вызвать трудности в произношении. В этом видео обращается внимание на следующие моменты:
- «Bakery» – Это слово может быть непростым для произнесения из-за сочетания звуков. Попробуйте произнести его медленно, разделяя слоги.
- «Famous» – Легко чудится, что это слово произносится как «феймус». Однако правильное произношение включает более короткий звук в середине.
- «Surprise» – Обратите внимание на ударение в слове и произносите его так, чтобы акцент падал на второй слог.
Чтобы улучшить произношение английского и избежать распространенных ошибок, используйте технику shadow speech, повторяя за носителями языка, слушая и подражая их произношению. Это отличный способ научиться правильно говорить и устанавливать свой собственный акцент. Не забывайте о важности слушания и практики – это ключ к успешному изучению языка!
Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
