Greetings Earthlings and welcome to another episode of The Right Roast.
2
Today, quite simply, we'll be tasting two coffees and talking about the difference between the processes.
3
One will be washed and one will be a natural.
4
Here we are.
5
So we have one by Nomad, a Kenyan, and it's washed coffee,
6
and one by Kuchum, and it's a natural.
7
So the process of a coffee means it's the point at
8
which the cherries pick from the trees and then the beans inside has to be removed.
9
Now, how the bean is extracted from the fruit will affect the flavor of your coffee.
10
So, if it's a washed coffee, that means the cherries are going to go through a thorough washing process at the origin of where the coffees are grown.
11
So basically they'll go through some kind of milling machine, they're either shaking the coffees around,
12
they're being washed a lot and eventually the fruit part is completely removed and you have clean,
13
wet coffee bean that will then be laid out and dried.
14
Or, at the other end of the scale is the natural process, which is also called a dry process,
15
because basically, the fruits are spread out, left in the sun, to dry.
16
And the fruit will just eventually rot away, and all that rotting process will really affect the character of the coffee,
17
because rotting flavours penetrate the beans, even if you clean them up later, it's been affected.
18
I've chosen the empanga natural because for me it has a much more subtle background flavor in the natural process than most.
19
Because the natural process can create very overt characteristics in the
20
cup particularly with specialty coffee being sensitive in the light roasting process to different changes.
21
I can smell straight away there's a kind of sweet funkiness
22
that you only get with naturals and it's It's a little hard to describe
23
because some people might call it a melon sweetness or a chocolatey sweetness.
24
But it's immediately there in the taste.
25
It's something a little bit.. it's punchy but not acidic.
26
So think of it as something quite full in flavour.
27
But it adds this wonderful character to the whole coffee.
28
It gives it a much more weird sweetness.
29
Now the washed coffee.
30
Instantly I can see that there is so much more sharpness and acidity.
31
It's very low acidity with natural coffees.
32
It has a more tart feel as well.
33
Those wonderful berries and crisp flavours that really jump out at you with a washed coffee.
34
You can really really tell that these beans have been strongly affected by the process in which they were cleaned.
35
And there are processes in between.
36
Look out for different processes from different coffees in different countries.
37
and really work out which ones you like best and which ones really show prominence with those characteristics.
38
So basically that's it.
39
Those are the two different processes.
40
And please go out and read more about it.
41
There's a lot written about all this stuff.
42
And enjoy your coffee.

关于本节课程

在本节课程中,您将通过分析两种不同的咖啡加工方法来提高您的英语口语能力。这两种咖啡分别是洗脱咖啡和自然咖啡。通过聆听视频内容,您将能够理解和练习关于咖啡的专业术语、描述味道的表达方式以及不同处理方法的对比。这不仅有助于您丰富您的词汇量,还能提升您在特定话题下的流利度,适合希望通过看YouTube学英语的学习者。

关键词汇与短语

  • 咖啡 (coffee)
  • 洗脱 (washed)
  • 自然 (natural)
  • 风味 (flavor)
  • 处理过程 (process)
  • 酸度 (acidity)
  • 果实 (fruit)
  • 特殊风味 (specialty flavor)

练习技巧

在观看视频时,建议您使用shadow speak技术。可以尝试跟随讲述者的语速进行模仿,在每个关键句子后暂停,重复其发音和语调。这将有助于提高您的英语发音,特别是在涉及像“风味”、“酸度”这样的专业词汇时。因为讲述者的语速相对平稳,您可以在练习过程中有充分的时间进行调整。每次重复时,注意力集中在声调和语气上,以便在实际交谈中表现得更加自然。

此外,您可以利用视频中的咖啡对比示例,尝试使用自己的话描述您对不同咖啡类型的看法。这不仅可以帮助您扩展口语表达,还能增进对所学词汇和短语的理解。通过这种方式,您将能够提升您的英语口语,如同品尝咖啡的过程一样,让自己在语言学习中拥有更好的体验。

记得多多练习,利用提高英语发音的机会,享受学习的乐趣!

视频中的语法

说话人最常用的结构,并附上视频中的原话:

结构视频中的用法
被动语态 be + 过去分词 — 强调发生了什么,而不是谁做的will be washed · be removed · is extracted
现在完成时 have/has + 过去分词 — 过去发生但与现在仍有关联的事it's been affected · I've chosen · have been

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
