1
They say that travelling while learning English helps you remember words 78 % better.
2
I don't know who says it, but I think they're right.
3
So travel with me across
4
China while we collect new English words.
5
And I have some very exciting news.
6
Something I've been working on for a long time.
7
More to come on that later.
8
Today I brought you guys with me to learn English in Nanjing
9
which is the capital city of the Jiangsu province in eastern China.
10
The city has a long history.
11
It's known for its old temples, beautiful gardens, and ancient city walls.
12
I wonder what we'll find today.
13
Hello, hello.
14
It is 9am on a Sunday morning.
15
The first few words we're going to collect are carriage.
16
We can call this a carriage or a coach.
17
It's a part of a train.
18
The second word where we get on the train or get off the train is called the platform.
19
Right now I'm standing on the train platform and over there we have my camera ward.
20
Now for the next word let's get on the escalator.
21
This is an escalator and this is my suitcase on the escalator.
22
This is the handle of the suitcase and this is the hand rail on the escalator let's go
23
so guys we've dropped our bags at the hotel and we've arrived at jiming temple
24
which is ancient ancient means very very old and this temple is about 1500 years old
25
So we have some steps to climb.
26
These are steps.
27
When they're outside, they are steps.
28
When they're inside, they are stairs.
29
So let's climb the steps.
30
Let's go up the steps.
31
Guys, I am very excited to tell you something.
32
We have officially launched Sprout in China.
33
On the App Store and on our website sproutlanguage .com if you're from China you can now use Sprout.
34
If you're someone who can understand English but you struggle to speak then you need an English speaking environment.
35
You need a way to speak in in a fun and stress -free way.
36
On Sprout, we've built an English immersion system.
37
You watch native English videos, learn key vocab with flashcards, and then speak with AI and receive feedback.
38
So, day by day, you can improve your English and become fluent.
39
And if you're already part of our growing community on Sprout, I wanna say thank you so much.
40
Now, so I can hear some people chanting.
41
That sound that you can hear there is chanting.
42
chanting the buddhist monks are chanting inside of the temple
43
and i've just been told an interesting fact
44
that all of the buddhist monks here are women they are chanting some beautiful champs
45
up there is a temple a very tall temple
46
so this is a ginkgo tree and they often call this the gold leaf tree
47
because in autumn the leaves turn yellowy gold and within the tree you have some red ribbons hanging.
48
These are called ribbons.
49
A juxtaposition of these ribbons in the distance you can see the scaffolding.
50
All of this blue poles and building equipment in order to build a building is called scaffolding.
51
And there is a juxtaposition between the old ancient temple and the new construction.
52
scaffolding over there.
53
I've taught this word before but um that word is juxtaposition
54
when two contrasting elements are in the same space like skyscrapers next to forest.
55
Juxtaposition, they juxtapose each other.
56
So cool fact about these, these are the dragons and they are like roof ornaments.
57
According to ancient Chinese mythology these dragons were put on the
58
top of the roofs to protect the buildings from fire
59
because dragons are synonymous with water
60
and they're not just for decoration they also provide some structural anchoring to keep the roof in shape
61
and up here on the corner of the roof is a bell
62
so you see these everywhere these are hanging lanterns
63
and they are red
64
because red is the color associated with prosperity with wealth with abundance at the bottom of hanging lantern
65
you have tassels these are tassels hanging down from the hanging lanterns
66
so that bell had a very resonant sound when something is resonant it's deep and rich
67
and it vibrates for much longer after the sound has been made so after i struck the bell
68
it made a very resonant sound a deep male voice could also be described as resonant
69
so here you can see the smoke rising from the big pot
70
and people are throwing incense sticks into a giant pot a big fire
71
and they're all burning that produces smoke
72
and the smoke rises into the air
73
I'm lighting the incense sticks with the flame from the candle you can see the orange flame blowing in the wind
74
so we're just leaving the temple
75
and look what we have found
76
we found a police car with flashing lights these are the flashing lights on top of the police car
77
and when they make the sound they're called the siren look on the floors guys you can see my shadow
78
and Shang's shadow.
79
Say hello.
80
BTS behind the scenes.
81
We have a yellow taxi and a giant archway.
82
This shape is called an arch.
83
Behind the arch we have a beautiful blue sky.
84
Today the weather is very pleasant.
85
When I say pleasant, that's a very common way to describe the weather it means the weather is nice
86
but it's a better adjective than nice you can use it in your language today you can say oh
87
wow the weather is very pleasant today and here we have the vending machines
88
vending machine is one of these machines where you put your money in and gets a drink.
89
Here we have a cute couple holding hands, swinging their arms.
90
So now we're walking by a huge lake.
91
In the distance you can see the mountains.
92
This is a willow tree, the one that was in Harry Potter
93
when it was smashing Ron Weasley in Harry's car
94
and behind the willow tree we have a lake down there we have all the boats on the lake
95
and that is where we are going my friends
96
now we are walking along the wooden pier the pier is this thing that sticks out into the lake.
97
Inside here guys, these are all the life jackets or life vests.
98
Well guys, we are on a boat on a lake and it's beautiful weather today so feeling good.
99
I wanted to introduce you to a good friend of mine and actually the co -founder of Sprouts, Blake.
100
He's the wizard behind the beautiful app, Sprout, that we have built.
101
And do you have anything to say?
102
Yeah, I've been working with Jay on Sprout for over a year now.
103
And I think both of us fell in love with language learning through Spanish originally, having lived in Spain and learned through immersion.
104
Yeah, it's been great working with you on the app.
105
And for those of you who are learning with the Sprout app, thank you and if you have any ideas
106
or suggestions please leave a comment
107
and let us know yeah absolutely we appreciate all your feedback
108
and we constantly listen to you guys we want to learn from you
109
and improve your experience learning english so thank you
110
so much for joining us on this journey to our growing spout community
111
and we hope you're enjoying this video this beautiful weather as much as we are.
112
So this is the steering wheel, a nice red steering wheel.
113
So on the lake you can see the movement of the water and we call that a ripple.
114
The water is rippling.
115
The sunlight is shining on the lake and it's almost sparkling like a dress.
116
We say that is glistening.
117
The sunlight is glistening on the water.
118
Two words to describe this beautiful view guys.
119
I just said it was stunning and Blake said it was scenic.
120
We can say stunning, scenic, beautiful, gorgeous, pleasant.
121
It's a duck, a real duck.
122
The duck is bobbing beneath the water.
123
So in the foreground at the bottom of the image you can see the lake.
124
In the middle you have the sailboats with the trees behind.
125
And far in the distance, in the background, you can see the skyscrapers.
126
When talking about an image you can use words like foreground,
127
middle and background to help you navigate your way around the photo. And
128
if you want to do this more
129
you can now use the photo chit chat game in Sprout to practice talking about photos.
130
So right now I can take a photo of this lake, I can go into Sprout,
131
upload the photo and it's gonna pull key vocabulary from
132
that photo and I will speak about it and it will give me personalized feedback on my speaking.
133
You can do the same with your phone take any photo upload it into sprouts
134
and talk about it for one minute to get your ai feedback it's a wonderful practice
135
that i do with all of my students in the infinity class
136
and super useful for improving your vocabulary and becoming a better more confident english speaker.
137
Good morning, guys.
138
It is Monday morning and about half ten.
139
The sun is shining.
140
We are walking through a national park in Nanjing.
141
I'm eating
142
probably the most delicious apple i've had in a long long time
143
and the plan for today is to head up to hike up to the top of purple mountain
144
when you go for a hike it is a long walk usually in nature
145
and right now we are walking on a boardwalk this is a boardwalk going through
146
forest and just look at that view on the right you can see the sun shining through the canopy
147
this top layer of trees in a forest is called the canopy gorgeous
148
so now guys we can see that this area is pretty busy there are lots of tourists around just like
149
Blake and I
150
representing the sprout t -shirts we're on the hike up the mountain and
151
that is a buggy the buggy is taking people up the mountain
152
this is called the apple core the core of the apple
153
just like the core of your body of the core in the center of the earth now this apple goes in
154
the bin nope not that side this side there we go
155
and blake is from america
156
so in america they say the trash can trash can trash can okay in england we say the rubbish bin
157
or for short the bin.
158
And would you say trash shot?
159
I'd say the trash.
160
The trash, yeah, to throw the apple in the trash.
161
I throw the apple in the bin.
162
You, as an English learner, can say whichever one that you please, whichever one you like.
163
This is a bridge.
164
We are walking under the bridge hey guys
165
we have a very old looking train slash car is it a train is it a car
166
i guess we'll never know somewhere in between these trees are huge massive they are gigantic they are enormous
167
they are humongous they are immense look at the size of the trunk look at this trunk
168
there's white paint at the bottom of the trunk and it forks out into this catapult like shape
169
by the way i'm holding this leaf this is a an orange leaf
170
or a brown leaf because right now the season is autumn it's autumn it's October
171
and in the UK we say it's autumn in America where
172
Blake is from they say it's the fall fall
173
so you can say it's autumn
174
or it's fall up here we have the traffic lights and that traffic light is flashing orange,
175
or in the UK we say amber, red, amber, green.
176
This is flashing amber.
177
This is a pavilion with a nice roof and red columns.
178
There are some people taking a rest in the shade from the sun.
179
So one of the most famous things in China is you would think the palaces, the kings, what did they eat?
180
What did the royalty of China eat back in the day?
181
Well, let me tell you.
182
Okay, and ducky fried chicken.
183
Look at that, with a traditional roof.
184
So guys the sun is beating down and we have made it to the top.
185
Let's go check it out.
186
There's one really cool concept I wanted to talk about and you can see above me now the canopy or the trees.
187
At the top of the forest the trees don't touch each other.
188
The leaves have space between them and they call this crown shyness.
189
Now a crown is what a king wears or a queen.
190
The crown is also the top of our head and the concept of crown shyness is when the top of the trees,
191
the top layer, don't touch so that they all work together in the forest to not take up too much of the sun's light.
192
Isn't that a cool concept?
193
Crown shyness.
194
Now guys we're heading towards the Ming tomb
195
and here we have a statue and these statues are over 600 hundred years old,
196
according to the sign.
197
And here we have a statue of an elephant.
198
This is a stone statue of an elephant.
199
And did you know what these things are called?
200
These are the elephant's tusks.
201
The tusks.
202
And this long nose is the elephant's trunk.
203
We have walked around 16 ,000 steps today and
204
that leads me on to the final word of the day which is knackered.
205
Naked is a British slang word that we love to use in England and it means you are very tired.
206
You can say this with your friends or people that you are close with.
207
I am knackered.
208
Right now, I'm knackered.
209
The next stop is Shanghai.
210
Super excited for that next vlog.
211
Stay tuned.
212
Thank you for watching.
213
I hope you found this video useful and I'll see you next time.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
