Listen, Speak, and Shadow Along With My Day | Comprehensible Input

Welcome back to a new video everyone. Today it is very sunny and beautiful out. We'll be spending the day outside going shopping. So sit back, relax, and enjoy this comprehensible input vlog with my brother where you will learn vocabulary, phrases, and you'll be able to practice your pronunciation and accent with two shadowing segments. You want to buy an upgraded version as this is the store we're going to roost. Bad news. Bad news and good news. It was go volunteer at an animal shelter. This lady here is selling stuff. Let's go in and do some shopping. So I got two small donuts because we deserve it. And now we're gonna recovery break. That's smart. I'm the biggest fan of chocolate, like chocolate cake. And remember to stick around until the very end for the last shadowing segment. Let's get started. Okay guys, we are now about to leave our home. We're going to go to a grocery store, a mall, and also we're going to go buy some new shoes. As you can see, I've had the Burks for a while, so I want to buy an upgraded version of these shoes. So we're also going to go there. So let's go. Okay, so we're now in the elevator. I'm pressing the button and we are going to the first location place. You can see today I didn't shave, but that's okay because I didn't want to shave. I don't like shaving all the time because I have very sensitive skin, but there are a lot of mirrors in this elevator. You can see Leon just got on his scooter there. You're taking up a lot of room there. And now they are driving off. Oh, actually they're turning around. Now they're driving off. Okay guys, this is the store we're going to. Roost. You can see the type of shoes they have here. Mostly sandals, but they also have shoes like mine, Birkenstock style shoes. So let's go in and see what they have. Upgraded Burk. My boy is just chilling, dude. Hey, you want me to rub your belly? Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy? Oh, you're from Canada? Yeah. Yeah. There's the other dog. That dog doesn't want attention. This one does. Bad news. Bad news and good news. Good news is we're going to another store. Bad news is I wanted to get the pink closed toe slippers, but they only had the black ones as you saw. Also more good news. That dog was very cute. I haven't pet a dog in so long. It's really been a very long time since I've pet a dog. And that dog just came when I sat down and just laid on my lap. We walked in, the dogs were barking, but when I sat down, the dog came and laid on the side of my leg. For real? For real. Cute dog. But yeah, now we're heading to another store. I think what you need to do is go volunteer at an animal shelter. Oh, for real, dude. I love dogs. I always want to buy a dog, but then I'm like, I travel so much. I can't actually have a dog because then I have to travel with it. And that's really hard. But I wanted the pink closed toe slippers. They didn't have them. The black ones looked really nice, but I don't think I'm going to get black shoes. If I get black shoes, they're going to be boots. I'll get black boots, but shoes, slippers, no. Okay. Now we're walking down this alleyway to the next store. I do like how a lot of these stores and stuff are in these alleyways because it makes you explore, which is nice. I like the vibes. 3000. That is the amount of words you need to understand up to 95% of spoken English. That is why I made the 3000 most common English words textbook with clear definitions, real example sentences, and simple organization by topic and C E F R level. So you know exactly what to study next. And now if you want to learn even more, I've added the next 2000 most common English words. So you can get the full 5000 most common English words textbook to understand up to 98% of spoken English. This will help you to know exactly what to study and really advance your English vocabulary and level. You can get it at the link in my description or at Volker English.com bit something, go back to the main road. Find what you wanted. No, I went in there and I wanted to get tabby shoes, like tabby dress shoes. Those are the ones that kind of have like the, they look like this. This is what they look like, but they didn't have my size. I need a size like 43. They only had 40. So I didn't get Right now, Leon and I are walking on the sidewalk here along the street. It's not too busy today. This lady here is selling stuff in her stall. Here there are some umbrellas and also red stools. She's also selling something there. Looks like all these people are just relaxing here, drinking something and enjoying the day. It is quite peaceful here. Now let's have a shadowing segment with this scene right here. The street is wide, quiet and almost empty. Tall trees stand beside the road and their dark trunks reach up into the cloudy sky. On the left, there are old yellow buildings, small walls, colorful posters and bright red Vietnamese flags with yellow stars. The whole place feels calm, warm and peaceful. A few people are sitting on small red chairs near the sidewalk. They are resting in the shade, talking softly and watching the street. Some motorbikes are parked beside the building and a small food stall stands near the corner. The patterned sidewalk looks interesting, but there is also some trash near the trees which makes the scene feel real and local. The road goes forward between the buildings and the trees. Although the street is not busy, it still feels alive because there are signs, flags, shops and people in the background. This is the kind of place where you can walk slowly, look around carefully and notice everyday life in the city. Okay, we're now in the convenience store and I'm getting a drink, an electrolyte drink because I'm so so thirsty and dehydrated. I'm gonna drink all of this Pocari Sweat. Okay, so now we're at Jollibee's. Let's go and try some spaghetti and chicken. I've never had Jollibee's before. My first time. It's so good. He's never been to the Philippines, but I have. So I've eaten at Jollibee a lot and I really like it. Okay, let's go. Okay, so we ordered our food. We have our drinks here and we'll wait for this alarm to go off and then get our food downstairs. That was greasy. Music is loud and I'm not trying to get a copyright strike, so I'll talk like this. This is the pasta, the chicken. Let's try it. It's very sweet, but that sausage is really salty. This banana ketchup, that's so sweet. Let's try the chicken. It's good. Okay guys, we've just finished eating at Jollibee. Unfortunately, they forgot to give us our ice cream sundae, so I went without an ice cream sundae today. Okay guys, we are now at the grocery store. So let's go in and do some shopping. I really need electrolytes. So now I'm stepping onto the escalator and now I'm going down the escalator into the grocery store here. Okay guys, we're now in the grocery store and I'm pushing the shopping cart. I've just placed you guys in the shopping cart and now we're gonna buy some stuff. I do need electrolytes. Like, you know, powdered electrolytes. Dude, look at that. Look at that one. What is that? Chocolate croissant. Low-key. Let me show you guys. I think I deserve a sweet treat and I'm also taking a four-day break from the gym, so I might as well carb reload. Is that what they call it? I'm taking a four-day break from the gym because I hurt my shoulder and my knee after playing pickleball. We played pickleball right after I worked out, so my shoulder, my right shoulder has always had problems, but then it started to hurt a lot, like the nerve and also the back of my shoulder blade. So now I'm taking a four-day break from the gym. Today is day two of that four-day break. Have you seen that area that we walk by every day? Oh yeah. You can go there and like test it out. If I don't feel good after four days, I'll go to that recovery place because when I was doing legs, my knee, my right knee really hurt and when I was doing upper body, my left, my sorry, my right shoulder really hurt. Now let me get some donuts. These donuts look really good. So now I'm grabbing a paper bag and I'm gonna choose a donut. Which one should I go with? What is good? I think I'm gonna go with two of the ones up top here. I don't really want a huge donut. I'd rather just a small one. These right here are tongs. I think I'm gonna grab this one and this one. So I got two small donuts and I put them inside this brown paper bag and now I'm gonna go ask them to put a barcode on there so I know how much it costs. Okay so you can see they put a price tag on my two bags here and I'll put them here. I want to get a loaf of bread so I can make egg sandwiches. Egg sandwiches with my eggs. Let me check. Okay so I came across these muffins and these things look so good. I think I'm gonna get those. You're coming with me and I also want a loaf of bread to make my sandwiches. Raisin sandwich? Yeah we don't want that. So you can see there are raisins inside this loaf of bread. I think just this bread is good enough. This is like normal bread. Okay so I also want some bananas. So I got some pretty green bananas because I'm not going to eat them right away. I want them to ripen at my home. So I got bananas and this is the grocery store. So in this display they have yogurt and over there they have milk but I'm looking for a different type of milk. So Leon just got fruit and they weighed it. Cucumbers and tomatoes. I got this milk. I wanted to try Dalat milk. Make sure it's unsweetened though because they like milk pasteurized. They like to put sugar in their milk. Purely fresh. Pure. I'm going to assume that's not sweetened. Just says pure. Okay I've been very dehydrated and Leon said that coconut water is very good for that. Yeah. It's a good source of electrolytes. A lot of sodium. Sodium 29 milligrams. That's what rehydrates you. So I'm going to get probably just one coconut water and hopefully that helps me. I have been very dehydrated as I told you I believe earlier in the video and if I didn't then I'm telling you now I have been really dehydrated. I'm going to be honest with you guys. I have a bad habit of buying candy if I see it. If I don't see it and I don't have it at home I don't really feel the need to go buy it and I don't really crave it. But if I'm right in front of it and I'm staring at it and I see it then I want it. I want to buy it. Because my mom she was a good mom and parent and didn't really buy me candy and sweet stuff that often because it's not good for you. So now that I'm older and I have my own money every time I see candy I always want to buy it. And this I love this Hershey's cookies and cream. Really good. I also really like Mars bars. Oh also the Kinder chocolate. I'm not sure like I like this chocolate not I don't like the egg I just like the chocolate part of it. It's super good. That's the stuff I really like. I think that's my favorite one. Not the egg but just the Kinder chocolate. Okay guys I want to get these because I want to have milk and Oreos. I want to have like a cereal Oreo meal because I'm a big back. My back is huge. But I also like Cremos. These ones are also good. So I'm also going to get a packet of Cremos. I like these ones as well. Okay so I've just scanned all my products and now I'm about to pay and check out. Okay we got all the goods here. Dude you can just see carb after carb. Cookies, muffin, everything. But you know what that's okay because we deserve it. And now we're going to head home. Should we get a bike? Yeah I think we'll just get a bike unless you want to walk. Nah not with all this stuff. You don't want to walk? Not with all this no. Okay so we'll book a grab bike head back home and see you guys there and I'll make you the Oreo milk cereal. Mean. Don't just watch the lesson once and forget it. If you actually want to remember what you learn then complete the workbook I created for this video. It helps you practice the key vocabulary, meaning, sentence building, pronunciation, shadowing, speaking, writing and everything you learned from this lesson. And now instead of buying the workbooks individually you can get the complete study pack of over 100 workbooks at the link in my description or at volcaenglish.com. We are now home. We have just arrived home everyone. So now let's do a unboxing. It's like a nice gift wrapped gift. Probably wrapped probably tied too well. Oh never mind. I'm jacked. This is a lot of carbs. BTS Oreos. J-pop Oreos. C-pop muffins. Uh loaf of bread. I'm gonna make egg sandwiches. Basic white people food. Uh french toast as well. That's actually good because I have cinnamon. I have eggs. That's all you need. Whip it up. Put it together. Let me know. Have you guys ever had french toast? Is it french? Yeah. Really? Yeah. Milk. Fresh milk. Pasteurized. Purely fresh. Hopefully it's not sweetened. Nowhere on the packaging did it say sweetened. I got electrolytes. I'm gonna put this in the fridge. Let it cool down and I'll be drinking this for the rest of the day and hopefully it really helps me less dehydrated. This is our receipt. Leon got some tomatoes. I don't know what for. Cucumbers. Dude I had tuna. You could have just used mine. You never said that. I low-key didn't even realize it because I'm not gonna eat that. We gotta eat it before we move out of this place. And finally a bag. Anyway let's pack some of this stuff away. I'll put the milk and the coconut. Actually I'll leave the milk out and I'll leave the cremos out because the Oreo cookies are for a special occasion. So I'll leave these aside. But I'll have the cremos which are pretty much Oreo cookies. For me they taste just as good. I'll have that with milk and have like cereal. But let's put the things that need to go in the fridge in the fridge. Does this need to go? Yeah I guess. So we'll put that in the fridge. I'll put that there. And the rest of this is carbs. So we can eat this whenever. Probably within the next day or two or else it'll get very stale. Same thing with the bread. And this stuff I'll put it in this cupboard because this is where Leon puts his stuff. I got two doughnuts, six muffins, this chocolate thing, this loaf of bread, this pack of cremos, and this pack. What about that? This is Leon's. Oh and that's something else. That's all going right here. Straight to the waist. So I need to work out more. But as I said in the grocery store I hurt my shoulder and knee because I over exercised. So I'm taking a four day recovery break so that I don't make it worse. And I thought of that myself because I'm able to critically think and realize this hurts and this hurts. Maybe I should take a break. I was going to take a week break but I said okay four days since I'm responsible. If it hurts more I'll take a rest for longer or I'll go to that recovery place. Maybe they'll do something to me. Anyway cremo, milk, um bowl. I guess I'll put the milk first. Now let me pour and pour the milk in. Would it be elite if I warmed it up? Yeah. Is cereal normally warm? No but is cereal normally with Oreo cookies? And the reason I'm doing this is because I saw it on TikTok. You're putting a whole packet in there? I'm gonna eat them all. Well look at how much milk I put. You put enough milk so you might as well. How many calories are in here? You don't want to know. Whatever. I'm sure Leon will want a bite so I'm kind of thinking of him when I do this. But I've never done this and I've seen it many times on TikTok and every time I see it I'm always like oh that looks good. I want to try it. I want to try it. I want to try it. So today I'm trying it. Okay take a peek. These things immediately broke apart. I thought these were like Oreos where you had to let it soak for a bit but no. Like look at how mushy that is. Let me try it. I think you got to do it with the Oreos now. So note for next time if you use cremo cookies you have to eat them immediately because if you wait for 30 seconds they're going to get too soft. Overall not bad. Very sweet. It kind of tastes a little minty. Anyway guys rate my Big Mac meal from 1 to 10. I would honestly rate that up there. Eating a whole pack of Oreos in like 10 seconds. Bro. I saw this guy eat an entire like you know those uh big packets? How many are in there? There's like four rows. Uh 36 I think. 36. I saw a guy on TikTok the first time I saw it eat two or three packets of 36 Oreos that's almost if not a hundred Oreos like this. He put a gallon of milk that he was like mood you guys. Have you seen that guy? I don't have that kind of stuff on my TikTok feed. He's like mood you guys quick breakfast and then he proceeds to eat uh like 100 Oreos with milk and like 12 Krispy Kreme donuts for breakfast. He's like light snack gotta keep it healthy. I'm like Now I have Oreo milk. Yummy yummy yummy yummy yummy. Okay guys let's try the final few things. I still have the muffins and the like chocolate cupcake thing. Place you right there. I may or may not have taken a bite out of the red velvet cupcake but I'll take another bite for you guys. Very moist and juicy. Now let's try the vanilla cupcake. Last but not least let's have the chocolate cupcake. These are like mini cupcakes. You can see they are very small. When I was a kid I was never the biggest fan of chocolate like chocolate cake or chocolate cupcakes or anything baked that was chocolate but now I really like chocolate cake and stuff like that. So my taste buds have changed over time. I used to only really like like vanilla cakes. Now the last thing we're going to try is this. It's like a muffin. It would taste a lot better warm but I think our microwave is having some trouble when we start it. It like almost blows up so we're not going to do that. Oh wow this one is good. It's very buttery and the bread is like croissant bread. It would taste really good if it was warmed up. I think this one was my favorite out of all four of these. Let me know do you guys like baked goods and pastries or no? And do you prefer sweet foods or savory foods? What do you prefer? Let me know down in the comments. Anyway guys I hope you enjoyed the video. If you guys like this style of video where I just go about my day go to different places and bring you along then let me know you want more videos like these in the comments. And if you guys like the big back segment I don't know if I can promise I'll do that every video because I'll probably get diabetes pretty soon but I could try. The person is sitting at a table inside a small restaurant. He is wearing a black shirt and he is sitting on a bright red seat. In front of him there are two yellow plates with spaghetti, tomato sauce, melted cheese, and pieces of crispy fried chicken. The food looks hot, salty, and filling. On the left side of the table there are two dark drinks in plastic cups. A phone, some tissues, and a tray are also on the table. Between the two plates there are a few fries and small sauce packets. The table is narrow but there is enough space for both meals. This scene feels casual and simple like a quick lunch during a busy day. The red seat, yellow plates, and dark drinks make the picture look colorful. Maybe the person is very hungry or maybe he ordered too much food. Either way this meal looks heavy, crunchy, sweet, and a little messy. I'll see you in the next video and remember you will become fluent in English. Yo what are you working on?
