[English]

learning English should feel fun

and today it's going to be an adventure!

We are going to learn 10 countryside themed words

then we're going to play some word games

and finally we're going to explore Hoi An

and see the beautiful city at night

And at the end of the video

there will be a quiz to

reinforce all of the new words

so let's go

ready?

Seriously

So the first word is rice paddy

we are surrounded by rice paddies.

beautiful!

Okay should we go down there?

So quick stop

there's a river that's running here.

I'm walking on the bridge

and behind me are people working in the fields

and farmers harvesting the rice.

that lady is wearing a non la,

traditional Vietnamese hat - a non la.

In English it's called a conical hat.

Conical means like cone shaped.

To my right we have the yellow rice fields.

They're ready to be harvested.

There's a man carrying a big bunch of straw,

the farmer is carrying a big bunch of straw.

Down here if we crouch down

this is an irrigation ditch  to drain the rice fields.

And this is a hand cart, a hand cart.

You pick it up like this with  your hand and you wheel it.

Get to work boy!

I'll put it back now...

so shall we continue? [Music]

this guys is a combine harvester,

that's to harvest all the rice.

Look at that beauty!

On the left here this is a tractor.

That's a tractor on the left

and on the right

here

this is called rubble.

All loose stones and rocks is called rubble.

Here there's a man with a tool,

he's leveling out the rice

so it can dry in the sun.

Look at that!

Okay one second i'm just going to get off,

all right guys

so this in the background is a buffalo

it has two big horns on its head

and next to the buffalo

the calf is lying down on the floor.

A baby cow, a baby buffalo is called a calf.

There are also some chickens roaming around.

Let's keep going!

Okay on the left these are banana trees

with large banana leaves.

I just wanted to say to you guys

if you're walking out and about

it's a great time to practice your English

even if you're not with anyone

just do what I'm doing.

Look around and name things

name nouns even if it's simple nouns

like sky and ground.

If you don't know the name for that thing

go on Google, go and chat GPT

and search the name for that thing.

Yeah, it's a great way to practice your English

anyway, I'm going to hand  the camera back to Chang now

because we've got some beautiful flowers here.

Right let's learn some English!

These - we're going to start here

these are called paper flowers,

paper flowers, or bougainvillea.

My mum's favourite flower.

These flowers are in pots

this is a pot, these are all pots.

This is a puddle, puddle.

Hose pipe.

there's a motorbike passing.

This is a villa, a villa.

And here, if you come here

we have a flower bed

the place where the flowers sleep. This is a flower bed made of logs.

These are some clothes hanging up on coat hangers.

That's about it

you have like a wire fence there

with clothes hanging.

Columns, or pillars to hold  the structure of the house up.  

There's an altar there, an altar.

We're going have to hop off here.

Chang had to get off the bike

because this hill is too steep  for my legs to ride us up

so we're going to continue the journey.

Let's keep going.

A blue wall. This is a fence,  some more paper flowers.

Okay stop!

That is our hotel in the distance

we're going to head there now.

We're going to go out on foot

take a walk to the Roving Chill House Cafe

to play some English word games.

so now, let's play a game.

The game is called 'word flow'

and it's simple

i'm going to say a word

and Chang will say a word  that relates to that word.

I'll then say a word that associates with her word

and so on.

It's like verbal pingpong.

The loser is the one

who doesn't say a word after 3 seconds

if you pause

you lose.

You ready?

[Music]

Get a beautiful lady

my cameraman's taking a run.

Oh my shoes come off

All right, where are we going Chang?

Hoi An.

We're going to Hoi An,

we're going to check out the center  teach you guys some more English

or learn some English together

Just arrived in Hoi An Center

and it's very busy, very crowded.

We're going to take you guys around

and I'm going to point out some  things in English for you to learn.

Sign, sign.

That's a large tree

We've got some stalls here  selling clothes and stuff

Lanterns, these are all lanterns.

Beep beep

That man just honked his horn

Got a Shopee, doing a delivery.

He's dropping off a package or a parcel

boss man

On the right hand side,

this is a pavement, cobblestones.

And we're walking on the road

This is a T junction where the  road forks out into two lanes,

like a T-junction.

This is a bike parked on the curb

The place between the  pavement and the road the curb

Behind me, that's an alley, an alley.

Here we got more bags, these  bags are made from leather

If anyone's ever been to  Vietnam, the traffic is mental.

But you get used to it and it's pretty fun

Right now we're walking  through Hoi An, the old town,

and I'm going to show you guys  how beautiful this scene is

Look at that! Stunning

wow.

So somebody got a French movie.

She's walking up the stairs

These are tables with the tablecloth on

There's a a runner in the middle,

two chairs either side

Behind me is the Hoi An River

and I don't know if you can see

loads of people on the boats with the lanterns

the lantern boats

hello okay, let's see if we got 10k

so we're going to put a candle on the river

okay so she's lighting the candle

putting it in a box

Cam on (Vietnamese)

so I'm lowering the candle in the water

Cam on co (Vietnamese)

I just put a little candle in the river

that was a new experience

look at that

it's Spider-Man crawling  with a flashing machine gun

that's hilarious

on the right hand side this is the pavement

we have a tree with some white paint on the bark

We've learned loads of English today

we've explored Hoi An and we've had some fun

so there's going to be a quiz  right now at the end of this video
