but that you'll have to watch.

Anyway, this is a huge structure behind us

let me check what this building is called.

I think, are we at 10 or 12?

I think we're at 10.

Yeah, we're at 10, because we were just here in the past video,

that was the bell tower,

and now we're at 10.

And what does it say?

10 is the Kuan Yin Hall,

and then the one behind that is the Buddha Hall.

It's actually so, so big.

It's a full day activity, really.

Yeah, and we're gonna go see the pagoda after.

I believe this is the most popular

and famous thing to see,

shade you can see you could look on the ground here we're standing in the shade

I'm gonna open up my mom's bag again.

Is this a woman's hat or is it unisex?

Yes, unisex.

Will it even fit my head?

Yeah, it's a good hat.

Am I going to look busted in this, dude?

You're going to look so sexy.

Can you hold these, please?

What?

Put it on.

It's too small, dude.

No, it's not.

I guess not too bad.

Do I look busted?

Let me check.

Do I look like a real tour guide?

It looks good.

This looks like a woman's hat.

A fun fact of that hat,

I've had it for more than 20 years.

Still looks really good.

It's because of the brand.

It's a really good brand.

If you buy quality, it lasts you a lifetime.

Is that still the case today?

Yes, because it's still here.

No, like I mean like with stuff you buy today.

No, absolutely not.

Even if you buy quality.

100

Well, yes, if you pay for it,

101

it might last my lifetime.

102

Of course you pay for it.

103

Oh, dude, this is giving like Australia.

104

Let's go.

105

Well, I guess we'll wear this.

106

If it looks dumb, close your eyes and just listen to the audio.

107

So me and this guy are matching.

108

He got his inspiration from the locals.

109

Okay, so we had to take our shoes off to get into this temple.

110

Whoa.

111

Dude, this is massive.

112

Massive and golden.

113

That's the one.

114

Wow.

115

Dude, this is actually really beautiful.

116

Look at the detail and look at these pillars.

117

Beautiful like wood and gold.

118

And these cranes right here.

119

And these are some huge statues on the side here.

120

And then the big gold Buddha in the background.

121

I think it's bronze.

122

They say this is bronze.

123

But it's meant to look like gold.

124

and a huge fan here to keep us cool and you can see a lot of these people here are praying

125

so here you can see a lot of photos

126

and history of this pagoda so i guess let's go around the temple yes this way

127

or should we go that way or this one i guess probably

128

that way because that's the hallway

129

and it'll bring us all the way down to the pagoda because the pagoda is on this side anyway.

130

I guess this is just like a hall you can pray in or something or just socialize.

131

If it was raining, it wouldn't be the end of the world since you can just come

132

and chill and relax in here.

133

I would just want to get away from the sun.

134

I guess we're going to have to start climbing some stairs, man.

135

Well, I guess we should have expected it low-key.

136

Bro, you're drowning right now.

137

You're drowning.

138

You need to start swimming.

139

So Leon has taken custody of the hat and I no longer have it.

140

We just climbed up all those stairs and now we can see the pagoda.

141

It says, wait to the stupa.

142

That's what they call it, the stupa.

143

Are you a little tired?

144

I'm quite tired today.

145

I think it's humidity.

146

It's very humid.

147

Yeah, I think so too.

148

It's a little bit hot.

149

But we made it to the main thing, the pagoda.

150

I think the view will be a lot nicer once we go up the pagoda.

151

Let's head up.

152

You can see Leon is walking in front of us.

153

He's walking up the stairs.

154

He just walked up the stairs.

155

And he's walking towards the pagoda.

156

Now my mom is in front of me.

157

I am behind.

158

I am behind.

159

And now I'm walking up these stairs as well.

160

Now you can see the base of the pagoda.

161

The base.

162

It is a really beautiful, majestic pagoda.

163

It's such a prominent.

164

You can see it from so far.

165

Have you been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa?

166

Yes, I have been.

167

I have been to the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy.

168

How does this compare?

169

This one is taller.

170

Oh, dude, this one is way bigger.

171

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is really small.

172

Like, it's not big.

173

I don't know if you've been or not.

174

It's really not big.

175

It's just cool because it's leaning, I guess.

176

But this is way bigger.

177

Way, way bigger.

178

That's why we can get a view.

179

Yeah, now we're at the base of the pagoda.

180

There's a nice garden surrounding the pagoda.

181

Oh, these are lily pads.

182

Yeah.

183

These are lily pads.

184

Usually frogs hop on lily pads.

185

You can also see some algae in the water here.

186

Right there, you can see a water tap that is a pail.

187

You can also see two rags on that cement.

188

Do you see the way that they shape the trees to grow like that?

189

Yeah, the trees do look quite beautiful.

190

I like the way they trim the trees and the leaves.

191

Oh, here's a lily flower.

192

Oh, wow.

193

That's actually really beautiful.

194

Look at the flower.

195

And I think we might have to buy tickets.

196

Do we?

197

I don't know.

198

Let's try our ticket.

199

Let's try it.

200

I guess so, yeah.

201

Let's go try.

202

See if we can get in.

203

The tickets worked and now we're in.

204

So this is the bottom of the pagoda.

205

There's a huge golden Buddha with a golden ceiling.

206

But let's go up.

207

There's a sign here that says keep silent.

208

So I think we have to climb up the stairs.

209

If we have to climb up every single stair, dude, I'll be crazy.

210

It's a lot of stairs.

211

Take it step by step, I guess.

212

I wonder how many flights this pagoda is.

213

We're about to find out.

214

Okay, now we're about to get into the elevator here.

215

After everyone gets out, we're in the elevator.

216

Look at that view.

217

That is a nice view.

218

Yeah.

219

You can see like the whole complex.

220

Where do we start?

221

We enter there to the left and see where the big gate is?

222

Yeah.

223

We entered there.

224

And then all of that looks like a wall.

225

That's all a walkway.

226

Yeah.

227

So we walked that whole place.

228

Yeah.

229

And then the Buddha was in that building there?

230

No, the Buddha was the one in front.

231

No, the Buddha was here.

232

Yeah, I guess the Buddha was here.

233

You can see just the sheer size of this complex.

234

That lady said six kilometers.

235

This is like a kilometer.

236

But I think she meant if you go from one spot to the next, maybe.

237

Yeah, maybe total walkable area, six kilometers but not like lengthwise.

238

Oh wow.

239

That is crazy.

240

And you can see they have a huge convention hall there.

241

They call it the convention center.

242

I feel like we came from behind these mountains because we passed that bridge down there.

243

So we came from the other side of these mountains.

244

Well, Ninbin is just right there,

245

just up ahead of us.

246

Is it not?

247

Actually, I'm not even sure.

248

I'm a little bit lost.

249

When you stopped at the river,

250

that's where we stopped because that bridge and barges were at that rubber there.

251

And then we came around,

252

we entered in like that.

253

I'm honestly surprised there's not busier up top here.

254

We haven't really run into many people up here.

255

Maybe it's because we're going against the flow.

256

The arrow was pointing that way.

257

Oh, no, it just says no climbing.

258

Oh, there is the parking lot.

259

That's the huge parking lot.

260

Oh, my goodness.

261

There you can see that building is even bigger than the last one.

262

You can also see the big Buddha statue there with the big belly.

263

And I think we can get the shuttle buses right down there to go back.

264

Like right down there so we don't have to walk all the way back where we came from.

265

I guess we're at the end of it.

266

We made it.

267

I think when she told us five kilometers to get to the entrance gate, that's not true.

268

That's not five kilometers.

269

It is still pretty far though.

270

Yeah, it is far.

271

It's quite far.

272

This is a nice view.

273

This is like the highlight coming up here.

274

If you want to learn faster,

275

get the workbook for this video on my website.

276

It includes deeper explanations and exercises to help you remember and master what you learned.

277

And if you get five or more workbooks,

278

you'll get 30% off automatically at checkout.

279

So go to the description or my website, volkaenglish.com.

280

We've just finished exploring this whole complex.

281

We went up the main pagoda and we saw everything.

282

We saw the whole complex.

283

It was really beautiful.

284

And now we're heading to an ancient city,

285

an ancient city here in Vietnam.

286

We're going to explore how they lived back in ancient times,

287

I guess, and maybe learn something about history too.

288

And also see a lot of beautiful architecture and structures.

289

But first, I think we should go for lunch.

290

Right, because I'm hungry.

291

Yeah, I'm thirsty.

292

I know Leon's hungry, so...

293

We don't want anybody, you know,

294

getting hungry, so let's go eat.

295

No, we don't.

296

So let's go find some food and then go explore the ancient city.

297

We just got off the vehicle there.

298

Now we're heading back to our bikes and then we're gonna go into town

299

and grab a bite to eat because we are hungry and thirsty and thirsty and dizzy.

300

So we need food.

301

Okay here We just stopped on the side of the road

302

and you can see there are a bunch of goats here and a lot of baby goats too

303

Looks like they might have been born maybe a month ago but they're also pretty small.

304

The grown adult ones are pretty small too.

305

But yeah, we stopped on the side here.

306

I thought this might be the lunch we were looking for,

307

but I guess not.

308

So we're gonna go and find a restaurant.

309

The baby goats are called kids.

310

The kids.

311

Okay, let's go.

312

Okay, so we just bought two large waters from this convenience store and now we're heading to the ancient capital.

313

You can hop on.

314

You can see my mom is hopping on the back

315

and hopefully we don't fall knock on wood

316

and let's go let's go okay we've just parked our bikes

317

here in this parking lot now we're going to go explore

318

the forbidden city it's a huge complex here you can see

319

there are some people over there having a picnic this is a nice pond here

320

and i believe this is like a someone's residence maybe this

321

was the palace i guess this is a the first courtyard

322

here what do you think of it mom i think it's really pretty it's shaded

323

so that's really nice does it feel ancient look at this

324

i think it feels more ancient than the um the pagoda

325

we were just at oh this is a national treasure called the dragon bed oh look at these ponds

326

that little girl's feeding the fish that's why they are all in front of her

327

and the fish are splashing

328

because they're eating this does look really really ancient i'm not gonna lie i wonder what

329

that says because this is like uh traditional characters right

330

so i wanted to talk about the flag i don't think

331

we've talked about the flag i was just reading up about it this is the traditional vietnamese five color flag

332

and it's traditionally used during festivals ceremonies and at sacred sites

333

so that's why we see that flag all over the historic sites

334

and then at festivals the five colored flag it's nice

335

how many colors are on it probably five no the spears

336

wait what are they would you consider this a sword

337

or a spear or actually i guess it's something completely different but like humor me What would you call this?

338

A sword or a spear?

339

If he had to choose between the two.

340

I would say it's a spear sword.

341

You have to choose between the two.

342

A spear?

343

You jab.

344

But you can't jab with this,

345

so I'll call this a sword.

346

I think I'll call it a hal job.

347

We all agreed it's a sword with a long handle.

348

Look at the design.

349

So the detail on it.

350

Yes, look at the detail.

351

Look at the eyes.

352

It's a marble.

353

Oh, it's a marble.

354

But this is a really big, nice flower pot.

355

There's a plant in it.

356

It's cool.

357

I like the scales.

358

Is this a phoenix?

359

It's like a bird.

360

It's a peacock.

361

No, it's a phoenix.

362

Look at its face.

363

That's a beak.

364

My goodness, I guess we all see something different.

365

This is a horse.

366

Shout out year of the horse.

367

2026. That's me.

368

The roof of this house looks really old.

369

Very weathered.

370

This is a traditional temple courtyard with old stone gates,

371

tall trees, and a wide brick walkway.

372

The ground is covered with large red tiles that look warm under the sunlight.

373

Several people are walking through the entrance while wearing light clothes and hats because the weather looks hot and sunny.

374

In the middle of the scene,

375

there are two tall stone towers with detailed carvings and decorations.

376

The towers look old, historic, and carefully designed.

377

Near the entrance, colorful flags are standing beside the pathway and moving gently in the wind.

378

Behind the wall, there are green trees,

379

tropical plants, and white flowers growing around the temple area.

380

The sky is bright blue with a few thin clouds.

381

Shadows from the tall trees fall across the ground and create darker shapes on the tiles.

382

The whole place feels peaceful, cultural, and traditional.

383

It looks like a place where people come to pray,

384

visit, or learn about history.

385

Let me know in the comments if you guys like those shadowing lessons.

386

Let's continue.

387

Okay, now we're going to walk through this small gate.

388

I would have hit my head there if I didn't bend down.

389

What about you, Mom?

390

How tall are you?

391

Not very likely.

392

I'm shorter than you, so I seem to fit in everywhere here.

393

You could probably fit in there.

394

Do you want to stand in that entrance?

395

Yes, I'm sure.

396

I'm just making it.

397

I think people here are shorter than I am.

398

And I'm probably...

399

Stand up straight.

400

Oh, that's like just...

401

That accommodation we had too,

402

I just made it in there.

403

Bruh, let me try.

404

Same size.

405

Get a few glasses.

406

That's okay.

407

These are some nice vines growing on this wall.

408

But it looks dead.

409

It might be dead.

410

I'm not a botanist.

411

What can you see in this place?

412

I also want you guys to answer.

413

What can you see in this place?

414

What can you see?

415

Well, I can see there's three water buffalo on the edge of this square.

416

Okay, so way over there at the very end,

417

there are three water buffalo.

418

What else can you see?

419

I can see a small pagoda.

420

Okay, small pagoda.

421

I see a row of flags,

422

both the, what was that?

423

Five color traditional flag?

424

Yes.

425

And also the Vietnamese flag.

426

And here I see a big open square.

427

I don't know if there were buildings or something here before,

428

but it's just wide open.

429

And I also see overgrown grass in between each square.

430

So that kind of is dividing each square.

431

And I can see mountains in the background and also lights.

432

I guess they light this whole place up at night, right?

433

Yes.

434

Mask for functions and festivals and things like that.

435

Anything else?

436

Yeah.

437

There's a river in the back there.

438

A river?

439

Yeah.

440

What else do you see?

441

Spotlights.

442

Did you do that one?

443

I said lights but yeah spotlights.

444

Okay so we just finished having a conversation with three young students here in the ancient capital.

445

I think they're around like 11-12 years old.

446

Yes mine was 12 years old and they live close by like 15 kilometers away or so.

447

Yeah I guess they were just like young students that wanted to practice speaking English

448

because learning English is very important so that's a great way to practice speaking.

449

You just need to like go up to any foreigner that speaks English and just ask if you could talk with them.

450

And I'm sure they'll be glad to talk with you.

451

If you want to speak English more clearly and naturally,

452

then join my speaking and pronunciation course.

453

You get instant access to almost 100 video lessons with two new lessons every week,

454

a clear step-by-step practice system,

455

and an exclusive prompt to help you master the pronunciation of any word.

456

Inside, we work on pronunciation,

457

accent, rhythm, and natural speaking,

458

so you can stop hesitating and speak with more confidence.

459

And I'm going to get the pamphlet here and the map that shows us.

460

It's a full-day activity, really.

461

It's a really good brand.

462

If you buy quality...

463

And look at these pillars beautiful like wood and gold.

464

A huge fan here to keep us cool.

465

I guess let's go around the temple.

466

I think it's humidity.

467

It's very humid.

468

Now you can see the base of the pagoda.

469

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is really small.

470

It's a nice garden surrounding the pagoda.

471

Two rags on that cement.

472

There's not busier up top here.

473

There are some people over there having a picnic.

474

I seem to fit in everywhere here.

475

In the ancient capital, you will become fluent in English.

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.
