Hi guys and welcome back to Papi English.

My name is Sam and I'm traveling around the world and teaching you English.

Today I'm in Cadiz in Spain.

We're going to explore this amazing city and of course I'm going to teach you English as well.

So, let's go!

Let's begin this English language learning adventure in one of Spain's most historical and interesting cities.

With its rich cultural heritage and a history that dates back over 3,000 years, Cadiz is a treasure trove of historical sites,

charming streets and vibrant markets.

This is the perfect destination to explore new horizons.

This phrase is often used metaphorically to express the idea of discovering new opportunities,

gaining new experiences or venturing into uncharted territories.

In the context of Cadiz, this city's rich history and diverse attractions invite visitors to explore new horizons,

both culturally and geographically.

Welcome to Cadiz and let's learn English.

So let's begin this video in La Caleta.

This beach is one of the most iconic and traditional spots in the city, known for its unique charm and historical significance.

take a leisurely stroll along the beach and get ready for our next English lesson.

So guys this is La Caleta.

It's got to be one of the coolest city beaches in the world.

It's full of character and you really get a sense of Cadiz on this beach.

Either side of the beach there is a castle.

On this side there's the castle San Sebastiano

and on the other side the castle Santa So this is a beach with a lot of history as well.

And this beach has also been in films.

I don't know if you remember the film with James Bond when Halle Berry walks out of the water in her bikini.

Well, that was filmed on this beach.

So guys, let's take the opportunity to learn an English idiom on this awesome beach.

To draw a line in the sand.

Now this idiom means that you have a clear boundary on a topic that should not be crossed.

For example, when it comes to swimwear, I'm okay wearing a speedo like Daniel Craig,

but I draw a line in the sand when it comes to wearing a mankini like Borat.

It's not a good look.

So now try and think of another situation in

which you might draw a line in the sand and share it in the comments.

In the meantime, I'm going to make my way to our next destination in in Cadiz.

Now we will explore Parque Genovese,

a beautiful botanic garden renowned for its exquisite collection of plant species from around the world.

Established in the mid 19th century, Parque Genovese provides a peaceful retreat for locals and visitors alike.

So guys this is Parque Genovese and this is a unique park and it's the biggest park in Cadiz.

Now it's unique because there are over 100 species of tree from all over the world in this park.

And when you come here, you have to look for the dragon tree.

Not only because it has a cool name, but the dragon tree is over 100 years old.

Okay guys, now it's time to learn an idiom in this amazing park.

And I was looking for the dragon tree and I saw this tree.

and I saw this bark, which is the hard part of the trunk of the tree.

I thought, this must be the dragon tree, right?

Has to be.

It looks like scales of a dragon.

But anyway, it turns out I was barking up the wrong tree.

Now this idiom, to bark up the wrong tree, means to take the wrong course and get something completely wrong, go completely in the wrong direction.

I was barking up the wrong tree because this is not the dragon tree.

This is the dragon tree.

Sometimes we bark up the wrong tree.

But if you don't give up, you'll find what you're looking for in the end.

So now let's keep looking for English lessons in Cadiz.

We're going to visit Plaza de Minas, where you're going to find out why Cadiz is so important for my journey as an English language teacher.

So guys, I'm now in Plaza de Minas.

Now I really like this square, it's pretty cool, it's got loads of trees

and it's a nice place to get a bite to eat or something to drink as well.

This square is actually a bit special for me

because this is where I began my journey as an English teacher

and I did my training at an English school in one of the buildings here to become a teacher.

So it feels like I have come full circle.

Now to come full circle means to return to a place where you started something.

So I was here eight years ago training to become an English teacher

and now I'm back eight years later teaching you English.

Anyway, I think it's time to get something to eat.

Let's go!

So let's go full circle again as I take you to one of my favourite tapas bars in Plaza de Mina, Maison Cumbras Maiores.

We're going to try Chocos Fritos, in English, Fried Cuttlefish.

Cuttlefish is similar to squid and these chocos are delicious with some beer.

Now I'm ready to continue teaching you English.

We're going to visit the stunning cathedral, Catedral de la Santa Cruz, which stands as a prominent landmark in Cadiz,

attracting visitors with its rich history and religious significance.

Something that makes Cadiz's Cathedral unique is its golden dome, which is not seen in any other religious building in the Christian world.

And this is a reminder of Cadiz's Golden Age.

A golden age means a period in the past when things were at their best, happiest or most successful.

Ok, so now let's go from the cathedral to Torre Taviera,

one of the ancient towers of Cadiz to learn more about the history of this great city and its golden age.

So guys we are now at Torre Taviera.

This is one of 134 towers built in Cadiz in the 18th century

and from up here you have amazing views of the city.

In the 18th century Cadiz was very rich.

It was trading with the Caribbean which brought a lot of money to the city.

And you could say Cadiz was in its heyday.

Now if somebody or something is in its heyday, it means it's in its most successful period, its most successful time.

Cadiz was extremely rich.

Cadiz was in its heyday.

Okay, so therefore, as Cadiz was so rich, that is why we can see such beautiful architecture around the city today.

Nowadays, the city isn't as economically successful, but in terms of beauty,

lifestyle and culture, the city of Cadiz can still claim to be in its heyday.

It can still claim to be in its golden age.

So there we go guys, that's the amazing city of Cadiz, and I've taught you some English as well.

It's an amazing city to explore and I'm sure it has many more secrets to discover as well.

I'll see you guys in the next video.

Bye.

FOR YOU

Кому подходит это видео?

Этот материал идеально подойдет для начального и среднего уровня изучающих английский, желающих улучшить разговорные навыки и пополнить словарный запас. Если ваша цель — практика разговорного английского в естественной обстановке, а также знакомство с идиомами, которые используются в повседневной речи, то видео с Кадисом станет отличным инструментом. Здесь язык звучит живым, неформальным, как в реальных коммуникациях, что поможет адаптироваться к обычным разговорам.

Слова и идиомы, которые стоит запомнить

В видео представлены яркие выражения, которые стоит добавить в свой речевой арсенал:

To explore new horizons — «открывать новые горизонты» (метафорически о новых возможностях или опыте).
To draw a line in the sand — «поставить точку» (устанавливать ясные границы, которые не стоит переступать).
To bark up the wrong tree — «гавкать на не ту дровяную кучу» (ошибаться в направлении, принимать неверное решение).

Эти идиомы часто используются в разговорном английском, поэтому их знание поможет сделать речь более естественной.

Как улучшить произношение с помощью этого видео?

Видео подходит для shadowing (техники повторения за говорящим) благодаря медленной и четкой речи спикера. Вот два совета:

Следите за интонацией: Спикер использует подъем тона на важных словах (например, «unique charm», «over 3,000 years»). Повторяйте после него, чтобы научиться подчеркивать ключевые моменты.
Работайте с редкими звуками: Звук «th» в слове «the» или «this» часто вызывает трудности. Прослушайте, как спикер произносит его мягко, не заменяя на «з» или «с», и повторяйте в тесной синхронизации с видео.

Регулярная практика shadowspeak с этим материалом поможет улучшить произношение и чувство ритма разговорного английского.

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.
