ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Speak English Naturally With Me | Easy Comprehensible Input Vlog

Welcome back to a new video guys.

Today we are in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

Today we have a clear and natural comprehensible input vlog.

In this video we will be walking around the city, visiting different places and describing everything using comprehensible input.

This video is part of my 3,000 most common English word series designed to help you understand up to 95% of spoken English.

If you want to get the PDF, it's in the description.

Describe extended periods of time.

Explore all the flowers there.

The shorter they are.

Noise pollution.

Renamed hottest double-decker bus.

Supported.

Let's get started.

Okay, guys, so we're in Vietnam, and let's describe everything around us with comprehensible input, with very clear, natural English.

What are these called right here?

What are these called?

These are stools.

The stools I am used to are about this tall, and usually you sit on them when you are at a counter.

It's very common to have stools in bars or in your kitchen around the counter.

However, these stools are very short.

You can see how much shorter they are compared to a regular-sized stool.

So in my experience in Asia, the stools are a lot smaller because people just sit very low to the ground.

They sit very low to the ground.

In the West, we do not sit that low to the ground at all, so it is, like, a little uncomfortable to sit like that for extended periods of time, but it's not too bad, if I'm being honest.

So if you look over here, this is, I guess, what a typical area in District 1 looks like in Vietnam.

Currently, we are in District 1, which is the most famous district for tourists in Vietnam.

You can see many vehicles here, which is surprising.

Usually you see a lot more scooters, but inside this area right here, there are just scooters.

But yeah, they just have scooters there.

Over here, we have a tree, and there are many trees along this road.

And here we have carport boxes that have been opened up and flattened and placed on this cart.

The person that owns this will probably sell it later.

But if you go over here, you can see the cafe apartments.

The cafe apartments, and we're about to go over there and check out the view and drink a coffee.

This is not our first day in Ho Chi Minh.

We've been here for a few days, but this is the first time we're filming.

And we're just going to explore all the tourist sites and just explore Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.

This is our second time in Vietnam.

The last time I was here was with my younger brother.

That was three years ago.

This time I'm here with my older brother three years later.

But I am excited to be in Vietnam.

Vietnamese food is some of my favorite food and we have been indulging heavily in that food haven't we?

Yeah we have we had some good Vietnamese hamburgers last night.

Look up there dude to me that looks like uh the avengers tower if you put like an a on it like the avengers logo dude that would literally look like the avengers tower.

Anyways today we'll be talking at a normal natural english pace but we'll be talking clearly so try your best to follow along and shadow and if there are moments you don't understand something just rewind a few seconds you can also turn on captions in the corner by clicking the cc button and you can follow along there as well if you want captions but anyways we are walking on the sidewalk here in ho chi minh city it's not too hot today but it still is hot compared to canada so i just opened up my weather app and It's currently 30 degrees Celsius in Ho Chi Minh City, but it feels like 34 degrees.

But it's only 11 a.m.

It's not the hottest time of day yet.

Around noon, 1 p.m., 2 p.m., that is when it will be the hottest.

And today there is a high of 35 degrees, so it will be very hot today.

What about rain?

Rain, no rain, but it is very sunny.

I wish I brought my umbrella.

I low-key need it.

Look at the sidewalk here.

It's very stained, eh?

Yeah.

It's very, very stained.

It's like stained like black almost.

I wonder what that is.

Do you have any guesses?

Honestly, I don't know.

Like, it's not sticky.

I think it's from food.

Like, cooking oil, maybe?

Oil.

Yeah, okay, oil.

It's kind of like darker.

And that's what oil looks when it stains something.

Anyways, you guys tell me why this wall is here.

If you want to learn faster and go deeper than the video, then get the workbook on my website, volcaenglish.com.

The workbook explains everything in greater detail and comes with exercises to help you learn new vocabulary, grammar, tenses, sentence patterns, comprehension, and real English you can actually use.

I also have workbooks for past videos, so you can keep practicing and improving every lesson.

Click the link in my description to get the workbooks.

This wall is to hide the construction on the other side.

So currently they are probably building something on the other side of this, and they put this wall here to hide it.

I guess this is what they're building.

A mall with a pool, like a rooftop pool.

That's what they're building here.

But I do really like the vibe in Vietnam.

I love it.

It's nice, like look, just look.

I just like looking out at stuff.

Although I will say one thing, there is a lot of noise pollution.

Noise pollution is a term that refers to honking.

Like you hear all that honking, The sounds of vehicles, the sound of people working, noise pollution.

There is a lot of noise pollution that you have to get used to.

And in Vietnam, people park their scooters everywhere.

All along the sidewalk, you'll see scooters parked.

Like, look at this.

Everywhere you look, there are scooters parked.

Isn't there a stat that there are more scooters than people in Vietnam?

Yeah, it's like two to one or something.

We should low-key eat something, eh?

You hungry?

I thought you said you weren't hungry today.

Oh, I'm hungry every day.

I'm not hungry for dinner, though.

100

I don't know.

101

We'll find anything good along the street.

102

Yeah, if we see something good, we'll definitely stop by.

103

What about the Sony Fujifilm Nikon Canon store?

104

Oh, I think this whole street is cameras.

105

What do you think they sell there?

106

I think they sell Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Sony.

107

Are you sure?

108

What makes you say that?

109

I don't know.

110

I just got a hunch.

111

A hunch.

112

He has a hunch that they sell cameras.

113

I don't know.

114

I would bet they don't.

115

If I bet you $100 they don't, would you take that bet?

116

I would take that bet.

117

You would?

118

I would.

119

Oh, confident.

120

Okay, so we are now at 7-Eleven and we just came here to get something to drink since it's so hot out.

121

And to also cool down because these stores are always cool because they have the AC running.

122

But I think I'll get a Pocari sweat.

123

I think electrolytes are good.

124

It's just kind of small though.

125

Get those two plus one.

126

You think these are good?

127

Those are electrolytes too.

128

Does it revive zero calorie?

129

Okay, I'll get two of these then and then we'll get a third one.

130

Hopefully these taste good.

131

As you guys know, I love trees.

132

And this is a really cool tree.

133

This is low-key a perfect tree for an urban area, is it not?

134

Because it gives you shade.

135

I'm pretty sure this is called the shade tree.

136

Oh, really?

137

Because this is literally like an umbrella, a natural umbrella.

138

And here you can see the tree is supported by this metal so that it grows straight directly upwards.

139

So this is used as support.

140

And it's actually quite nice.

141

It has a bed around the tree trunk.

142

Quite nice.

143

They should put flowers in here, though.

144

I don't know if they planted these or these are just natural, but they should put flowers.

145

Maybe during spring there are flowers.

146

Maybe.

147

Anyways, let's keep going.

148

Okay guys, for this next part, I'm going to put a full paragraph of text on screen, and I want you guys to shadow me as I read this.

149

I really, really want you to focus on pronunciation in this part.

150

That is the number one focus.

151

Pronunciation and accent.

152

This is a modern street in the city.

153

There are many tall buildings here and the area looks clean, bright and busy.

154

In the middle there is a narrow building with many cafes, restaurants and signs on it.

155

Around it there are large glass buildings that look very modern.

156

The sky is clear and blue and the weather looks hot and sunny.

157

On the road I can see a few cars and motorbikes.

158

There are also some trees which make the street look more relaxing.

159

This place feels lively, urban, and interesting.

160

I like this scene because it shows a mix of modern city life and local character.

161

Okay, what did you guys think of that pronunciation and accent training?

162

Was that helpful?

163

You want to see more of that in my videos?

164

Or was it not helpful?

165

Let me know in the comments.

166

Now let's go visit the cafe apartments.

167

We'll try to go up as high as we can and get a nice view because I want to sit on the balcony so we could just look out at Ho Chi Minh City or some people call it Saigon.

168

Let's go.

169

Okay guys we have made it to one of the main squares here in Ho Chi Minh.

170

I think this is the most famous place to come in Saigon.

171

It's a square like a big rectangle walkway but you can see it's just huge from all the way down there all the way up there and at the end is the palace right Independence Palace.

172

It kind of reminds me of that walkway in Busan that goes all the way through the ocean.

173

Hyundai, Hyundai, something beach, something like that.

174

Yeah, the big beach in Busan.

175

In Busan, yeah.

176

There's a big, big like, I mean, the cars can still drive just like this, but it's like a big walkway like this heading to the beach in Busan.

177

It is actually similar.

178

It does give similar vibes.

179

But to my left, you can see the cafe apartments.

183

How would you describe those cafe apartments?

184

The building feels a lot bigger in person than it does in pictures.

185

Yeah, in pictures it definitely looks smaller, doesn't it?

186

Yeah, it feels a lot more grand and we could probably easily calculate how many different stores there are in there, right?

187

Just by counting.

188

But good thing we won't do that.

189

But I really do love like all the signs and especially at night, I'm pretty sure it's all like lit up.

190

So it looks super good, honestly.

191

I recognize that percentage sign.

192

It's for- That's Arabica.

193

Yeah, that's Arabica.

194

Yeah, that's a really popular coffee chain.

195

Yeah, because- I thought Arabica was like a type of coffee.

196

No, Arabica is also a chain because there are some in Kuala Lumpur, Arabica.

197

Arabica percentage, that's what it's called.

198

Okay guys, now how would you describe this area we're standing on?

199

How would you describe this?

200

Give me three words in the comments to describe this area.

201

So if I were to describe this area, the place we're standing on, I would say it's not very busy and not crowded.

202

Usually it's quite crowded.

203

We came here at night yesterday and the day before, and this place was really crowded.

204

There were so many people.

205

But now it's kind of quiet.

206

I think it's because it's almost noon.

207

People are at work.

208

People are at home.

209

And it is the hottest time of day, isn't it?

210

Yeah, it's way too hot to be enjoying this outdoor weather.

211

The sun is almost at its peak, so it's just cooking out here, dude.

212

But it does get nice at night.

213

It's nice to go out.

214

The weather is more comfortable at night.

215

No, the weather is a lot more bearable at night.

216

So that's one word, not crowded and not busy.

217

We'll put that in the same department.

218

Two more.

219

The second word I would use to describe this is just big.

220

And the third, flat.

221

Very simple words, but it's big, it's flat, and it's not crowded.

222

But one thing I do really like about this is I like the row of trees on each side of this square, this rectangle thing.

223

It's super, super nice, isn't it?

224

Yeah, it's really pleasing to the eyes.

225

Let's walk down here, I think, towards Independence Palace.

226

And then let's walk back and finish off the video at the cafe apartment.

227

So you guys, if you want to see the view from up there and also see us drink our first egg coffee, I haven't had an egg coffee yet.

228

Me either.

229

We'll do that at the end of the video, so stick around.

230

But I'm pretty sure that's the Independence Palace.

231

I will just double check myself first.

232

I don't want to give you guys false information.

233

Oh, but there is a statue of Ho Chi Minh down there.

234

I don't know if you can see it on camera, but Ho Chi Minh is down there.

235

So that is who this city is named after.

236

Okay, so we have a quick fact I want to read to everyone.

237

If you're Vietnamese, you'll obviously know this, but I'll read it for everyone else that doesn't know.

238

So Ho Chi Minh City was renamed from Saigon to Ho Chi Minh City.

239

That's why some people still call it Saigon.

240

even right there that says Royal Hotel Saigon.

241

It was renamed to Ho Chi Minh City in 1976 to honor the late communist revolutionary leader and first president of North Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh.

242

So it's named after this person in front of us.

243

You can see the statue of him.

244

So yeah, that's why it's named this.

245

Have you been to his mausoleum in Hanoi?

246

No, I haven't.

247

Have you been?

248

Yeah, it's like a big...

249

Is it nice?

250

Yeah, it's a big garden area and a park area, park area and there's a couple museums there and then there's a big building made out of stone that's his mausoleum.

251

I've never been there but we are going to be going to Hanoi so I think we'll go visit that but something else I really want to do is go on this double-decker bus.

252

I really want to go on that double-decker bus at night though because at night the whole city lights up and then it's just beautiful to go around and it's not too hot so you can sit on top and not burn to a crisp.

253

Cause I don't know if you guys can tell, but my face has gotten more tan.

254

I don't know if you can tell on camera though, but I have gotten more tan and my arms too.

255

So I need to wear long clothes so I don't burn.

256

Yeah.

257

And then you could get skin cancer and stuff.

258

Yeah, I've already burned a lot when I was younger.

259

Now that I'm older, I want to be, you know, more conscious of my health and body since I'm not young anymore.

260

Okay, so to get to the Ho Chi Minh statue and that palace, we can't go through this roundabout since roundabouts are only for vehicles.

261

We're going to have to cross this crosswalk and then that one and then that one and then that one.

262

so one two three four crosswalks until we can reach the statue for you guys it'll be a second but for us it'll be a couple minutes okay so we have got to the square around the square you can see all these luxury stores over there you have chanel rolex burberry fendi cartier bulgari whatever that says but anyways this is the statue of ho chi min he died in 1969 it's an interesting date.

263

Yeah.

264

Yeah.

265

So this is a statue and it appears to be a bronze statue.

266

So this is a statue.

267

How else would you describe it?

268

I started for you guys.

269

You learned how to describe things in my past videos.

270

So how would you describe this statue?

271

What is the color of the statue?

272

The statue is bronze.

273

The statue is also very tall and the area around the statue is very beautiful.

274

And at the foot of the statue.

275

You can see people leave flowers there.

276

Those are some beautiful bouquets.

277

We'll leave the statue alone now and we'll go to the cafe apartment.

278

Let's go.

279

We're in the cafe apartment now and we need to walk up like a couple flights of stairs until we find a cafe we like.

280

Look at this door.

281

This door is filled with stickers.

282

We're at the cafe apartment.

283

We chose to come to Saigon.

284

It was literally the first one we walked into.

285

So I wanted an egg coffee but I'm pretty sure this is warm, right?

293

Oh, and if you want to get the 3,000 most common English words PDF, it's in the description.

294

In this lesson, I want you to shadow.

295

You can see how much shorter they are compared to a regular size stool.

296

To sit like that for extended periods of time, we have carport boxes that have been opened up and flattened and placed.

297

And we're just going to explore all the tourist sites and just explore in Ho Chi Minh City but it feels like 34 degrees.

298

P.M.

299

2 p.m.

300

That is when it will be the hottest.

301

And today there is a high of 35.

302

I will say one thing, there is a lot of noise pollution.

303

Noise pollution is...

304

I don't know, I just got a hunch.

305

A hunch.

306

He has a hunch that they self...

307

And here you can see the tree is supported by this metal.

308

How would you describe those cafe apartments?

309

There were so many people.

310

But now it's kind of quiet.

311

It was renamed to Ho Chi Minh City in 1976.

312

What I really want to do is go on this double-decker bus.

313

The statue is bronze.

314

You can see people leave flowers there.

315

Those are some beautiful bouquets.

316

You will become fluent in English.
