0:00Welcome back guys to another video.
0:03This will be another slow English
0:07comprehensible input vlog in my home.
0:11Today we'll be going to each and every room, including my
0:15bedroom, balcony, washroom, living room,
0:18kitchen, dining room, laundry room and more.
0:22And we'll be learning phrases and vocabulary in each room.
0:27On top of that, there will be two shadowing segments to
0:30practice your pronunciation and your accent.
0:34There'll be one in the beginning of the video here and then
0:37one at the very end of the video.
0:40So make sure you stick around until the end to really
0:42practice your pronunciation today.
0:46And on top of that, you'll be learning new words.
0:48There will also be a common mistakes section at the end
0:51where I'll tell you some common mistakes
0:53people make with the words and phrases we learned today.
0:57A little quicker, but this is
0:59each to the hallway where you can go.
1:02Balcony is a little dirty, but it's good enough.
1:05It's good enough.
1:06I have a bunch of cables and this is just to an hygiene.
1:10So it's an easy way to measure the dog food out.
1:13This is also for privacy because there's nothing.
1:15Work space, an air conditioner on to the next room.
1:20And then next, so without further ado, let's get started.
1:23As you guys know, we've already
1:25talked about this in a previous video,
1:27so I'll go through it a little quicker.
1:29But this is my front door and
1:32this is the entrance to my apartment.
1:34On the outside, you can see there are just more apartments.
1:40I'm opening my door.
1:46I'm closing my door.
1:49And here you can say I'm locking my door.
1:52When I close the door, it locks automatically.
1:55So I don't have to manually lock my door.
1:58It doesn't automatically.
2:00So this door does not lead to,
2:02you know, outside of the building.
2:04It just leads to the hallway
2:06where you can go to more rooms.
2:09Over here we have our shoe rack.
2:12This is a shoe rack and you can put shoes here mainly,
2:15but we also have some bags as well.
2:17Bags for what?
2:18Those are shopping bags.
2:19So if we ever go shopping, we
2:21bring some of those bags with us.
2:23This right here is my balcony.
2:31Did it rain today?
2:33Yeah, you can see.
2:34It was just raining.
2:35My balcony is a little dirty.
2:37So the reason the balcony is dirty,
2:39because they are demolishing
2:41the building across the street.
2:42So if you take a closer look there,
2:43you can see they are demolishing that building.
2:46So all that dust has been coming to my balcony.
2:48So my balcony is pretty dirty because of that.
2:51So now some useful sentences.
2:54I'm stepping onto my balcony.
3:00I am getting fresh air.
3:05This part of my balcony here is called the railing.
3:09The railing.
3:09And it keeps me from falling over.
3:12But I'm going to close this because it's very hot outside.
3:16And all that hot air is going to
3:18come in my room and warm up my room.
3:22And it's very hot here.
3:24And that's not what I want.
3:26The view from my balcony is very nice.
3:29And I like coming here to relax or to watch the sun rise.
3:35Because the sun rises from this side.
3:38It does not set, unfortunately.
3:40But the good thing is, there is a
3:42lot of light in my room in the morning.
3:44But that's also a bad thing
3:45because it's bright from like 6am.
3:49And I wake up at 8.
3:50So I have to keep my curtains closed.
3:52But these curtains are very thick.
3:55So no light passes through them.
3:57So it hasn't woken me up yet.
5:09I'm at home in my apartment.
5:12I open the front door and walk inside.
5:15I take off my shoes and put them on the shoe rack.
5:19Then I lock the door behind me.
5:22My apartment is quiet and comfortable.
5:25I walk from room to room and look around.
5:28There is a bedroom, a
5:29bathroom, a kitchen, and a living room.
5:33This is where I sleep, eat, relax, and study.
5:37At home I use English every day.
5:41I turn on the lights, open the curtains, and make my bed.
5:45I brush my teeth, cook food, and do laundry.
5:49These are simple words, but they are very important.
5:53So right now I'm inside my bedroom.
5:55This is my bed.
5:57This is my blanket.
5:58And these are my pillows.
6:00And you can see my bed is made.
6:02It's not made perfectly, but it's good enough.
6:06It's good enough.
6:07This is my lamp.
6:08My lamp.
6:09This is my nightstand.
6:11This is just a rack where I hang my clothes.
6:14This is a mirror.
6:16These are drawers.
6:17And I have some of my colognes, and creams, and sunscreen,
6:22and lip chap, or lip balm, on this dresser.
6:26This right here is my desk where I work.
6:29This is a chair.
6:31I am pulling out the chair.
6:34I'm pushing the chair back in.
6:37There are more drawers on the side here.
6:39And over here, these are my closets.
6:43I have a whole wall of closets.
6:46And on the inside, you can just see I have some clothes.
6:50Some clothes.
6:51So I have a lot of closet space and
6:54a lot of storage space in my room.
6:56Up there, that is a light.
6:59A light.
7:00And I turn on the light with this light switch.
7:04So the light is on.
7:06Now the light is off.
7:08The light in my room is off, but my room is still bright.
7:12Because the light from outside is coming into my room.
7:17So some very common actions that
7:19occur in the bedroom are going to bed.
7:25Waking up.
7:29Making my bed.
7:34Opening my curtains.
7:40Closing my curtains.
7:42And getting dressed.
7:44So you can see I'm already dressed, but in
7:46the morning, you are usually not dressed.
7:48So you go to the bathroom or the washroom.
7:52You have a shower, you get ready, you
7:53brush your teeth, and then you get dressed.
7:55And that will be the next room we go to.
7:58And over here, you can see I have a bunch of cables.
8:02And this is just to plug my phone in at night to charge it.
8:07And over here, I have my lamp that I just turned on.
8:10And now I will turn it off.
8:13Now that we've learned some
8:14vocabulary actions and phrases in the bedroom,
8:18let's head over to another important room, the bathroom.
8:22This is where I go first thing in the morning.
8:24So I go to the bathroom, I have a
8:25shower, I use the toilet, I brush my teeth,
8:29wash my face, and do all that.
8:31And I shave.
8:32So let's head over to the bathroom.
8:35Now on the outside of the bathroom, there are two switches.
8:40This bottom one is for the fan
8:42and the top one is for the light.
8:44So this is my bathroom.
8:47Nothing fancy, just a normal bathroom.
8:49There is a sink here, a toilet, and a
8:52bathtub, and also a standing shower.
8:56This right here is a glass door.
8:58You open the glass door with this handle.
9:01I put my hand cloth here because there
9:04is nothing for me to hang it on the wall.
9:06Although that would kind of be
9:08ideal if there was a couple hooks here
9:10or something I could hang my hand towels on.
9:14But unfortunately there isn't.
9:16There's only one in the shower.
9:20So this right here, this part, is my mirror.
9:23This is my toothpaste.
9:26And I don't know where my toothbrush is.
9:29It's probably in the shower because I like brushing my
9:31teeth when I'm in the shower.
9:34I have an electric toothbrush.
9:36So some very common actions in the
9:38bathroom are I have a shower in the bathroom,
9:42I brush my teeth in the bathroom,
9:44I use the toilet in the bathroom,
9:46I wash my hands as well, I wash my
9:49face, I wash my body, I floss my teeth,
9:53I dry my hair, I dry my hands,
9:56I take a bath, I take a shower.
9:59There are a lot of actions you do in the bathroom,
10:01but it's mostly to do with personal health and hygiene.
10:06Now let's have a quick quiz.
10:09There'll be three questions throughout this whole video
10:12and I want you guys to answer them
10:14and put your answers in the comments.
10:16First question, where do you usually sleep?
10:24Where do you usually sleep?
10:27Put your answers in the comments.
10:30Second question, which sentence is correct?
10:33I make a shower, I take a shower or I do a shower?
10:38Which sentence is correct?
10:41Let me know in the comments.
10:43Now let's move over to the kitchen.
10:47Now we are in the kitchen.
10:49This is the area where you cook.
10:52Sometimes it's its own room, but
10:55this is more of an open concept kitchen.
10:58So you can see the living room and
10:59the dining room from the kitchen.
11:01This is something I prefer.
11:03Tell me, what do you guys prefer?
11:04Do you prefer open concept kitchens
11:07where you can see the dining room,
11:08living room and other parts of your home?
11:11Or do you prefer kitchens that are in their own room?
11:14I prefer this because it feels more
11:16open and like there is more space.
11:18If it was closed off here with a wall
11:20and a wall, it would feel so, so small.
11:23If there's like a wall here, a
11:25wall there, that was just entered.
11:27It would just feel so small, congested and
11:30I would feel like claustrophobic in here.
11:33So I'm glad it's open.
11:35It's a lot nicer.
11:36Anyway, this right here is called a range hood.
11:40The range hood is silver and made out of metal.
11:44I'm pretty sure it doesn't work.
11:45I don't think this sucks any air or anything out.
11:49And if it does, then I don't know how to
11:51turn it on, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't.
11:54This right here is a stovetop.
11:55This is an electric stovetop.
11:58So it doesn't work with gas.
12:00Instead, it works with power.
12:02So you turn it on there, you adjust your temperature and
12:06you cook your food like that.
12:08This right here is my blender.
12:09I bought this in a previous
12:11video where I went grocery shopping.
12:13But yeah, this is my blender.
12:15It actually works quite nicely and it
12:18doesn't smoke and blow up like the other one.
12:21The other blender I had, I told you guys I was running it.
12:24It just started smoking, smoking, smoking.
12:26Pretty sure a fire started in it.
12:28So I threw it in the sink, put a bunch
12:30of water on it, and then I threw it out.
12:32So I had to get a new one, but
12:33this is a good brand, Phillips.
12:35That is the brand name, Phillips.
12:37So that blender is a lot better and it's just plastic.
12:41So yeah, this right here is a small kitchen scale.
12:45You see kitchen scale and this is just
12:46to weigh, you know, different products
12:49so you know how much something weighs ingredient wise.
12:52Over here we have our sink.
12:55This is a faucet and the faucet is extendable.
12:59So that's nice.
13:02Over here we have two pots that are drying.
13:04Up top we have four plates and here is
13:07where we keep all our cutlery and knives.
13:11Give me your hand.
13:13I am.
13:15Sliced them.
13:16These containers are my yogurt
13:17containers, but I do like keeping these containers
13:20because I do find them pretty useful in Canada.
13:23I know we always keep them
13:24because sometimes we put stuff in here
13:27if we run out of normal plastic containers
13:29or we use them as like a measuring cup for our dog food
13:33because we have like we have like three big dogs
13:35and we get these big bags of dog food and we're like,
13:38"Hmm, how much do we feed them?"
13:39And we feed them a couple cups of these each.
13:41So one scoop, two scoop.
13:43So it's an easy way to measure the
13:45dog food out and it's a nice container.
13:49Over here up top we have cupboards.
13:51Also on the bottom we have a lot of cupboards.
13:53There are no drawers here, only cupboards.
13:56Drawers are the ones you pull out.
13:58Cupboards are the ones you open up
14:00like this and there are shelves inside.
14:03You can see it's pretty empty.
14:04Oh, honestly, I forgot I had these eggs.
14:07Loki, I should cook some eggs.
14:10Boil them.
14:11Last time I boiled all these eggs and I forgot to eat them.
14:14This time I'll only boil like a couple at a time.
14:17But yeah, I should boil some eggs though.
14:19Also, let me know if you're from Japan.
14:20Japanese curry is one of my favorite dishes ever, dude.
14:24I love Japanese curry so much like with tonkatsu.
14:31So good, dude, so good.
14:33Japanese curry, man, is really, really good.
14:35I love, love that.
14:37Actually, I got two.
14:37I got this one too.
14:39Shout out to Japan.
14:41So yeah, some actions you do in the kitchen are, before I
14:45answer, leave them in the comments.
14:47What actions can you think of
14:49right now off the top of your head
14:51that you do every time you are in the kitchen?
14:55You wash dishes in the kitchen.
14:58You cook or I cook or I'm cooking in the kitchen.
15:03I just finished cooking.
15:05I also open the fridge door and I
15:08grab ingredients from the fridge.
15:11Same thing with the freezer.
15:12I grab ingredients out of my freezer to cook.
15:16The freezer freezes my food.
15:18So I need to warm it up for longer
15:21if I want it to be room temperature.
15:23The fridge just keeps it cool and fresh.
15:26Also in the kitchen, you can
15:27warm things up with a microwave.
15:30You can also cook rice in a rice
15:32cooker or you can boil water in a kettle.
15:35This is a kettle.
15:37So there are many things you can do in a kitchen.
15:40But mainly a kitchen is used to make food and eat it.
15:44And also to clean up after you've
15:47finished preparing and cooking your food.
16:29So now we are moving to the dining table.
16:34This is the dining table and this is where you eat food.
16:37And here we have a fork, a knife and a spoon.
16:42You can have two different types of spoons.
16:44This is a tablespoon.
16:46But the smaller version is called a teaspoon.
16:50This right here is a plate.
16:51The one that is kind of like this shape is called a bowl.
16:56This is a plate.
16:57And this is a glass because it is made out of glass.
17:02This right here is my dining table.
17:06These are my chairs.
17:07There are four chairs here.
17:09Two on each side of the dining table.
17:11Over here we have a window but we can't see anything
17:15because there is a curtain blocking our view.
17:17But this is also for privacy
17:19because there's nothing really here
17:21besides the other apartment on the other side.
17:24So if it was open, they would just be able to see us.
17:26But it's just an open area in the
17:28middle of the apartment building.
17:30And up top here we have some lights.
17:32Two of these lights are blue LEDs
17:35and the third one is a yellow light.
17:37So it's kind of mismatched a little bit there.
17:40And on the side here we have some napkins
17:44and some spices, salt, pepper and
17:45paprika and also some sugar and a banana.
17:49And over here we have a lot of rice cakes.
17:52Rice cakes are rice crackers.
17:53Third question.
17:55Which sentence is most natural?
17:58I sit on the table and eat dinner.
18:01I sit at the table and eat dinner.
18:03Or I sit inside the table and eat dinner.
18:07Leave your answers in the comments.
18:10Now I'm in my living room.
18:12This behind me is called a sofa or a couch.
18:16These are called pillows.
18:18This is a coffee table.
18:20A glass coffee table.
18:23This is a TV remote.
18:26There are many buttons on the TV remote.
18:29But the main one is to turn it on.
18:32The main red button.
18:33There are also more buttons to change
18:35the channel or to change the volume.
18:38So this is a TV remote.
18:42And over here this is a TV.
18:45A TV.
18:45Right now the TV is off.
18:47You can tell because the screen is completely black.
18:49And on this side we have some paintings.
18:52Some cupboards.
18:54Some storage space.
18:55An air conditioner.
18:57And here we have a fan.
18:58This is just to keep the living room cool.
19:01Cool.
19:02So some common actions in a living room are.
19:06I sit down on the sofa.
19:09I pick up the TV remote and I turn on the TV.
19:13And I play my favorite show on the TV.
19:16Now you can see the TV is turning on.
19:19Are you going to play 90 day fiance?
19:22Facts.
19:23I'll play 90 day fiance.
19:25Let me know in the comments if you guys
19:27have ever watched the show 90 day fiance.
19:31I know my parents watch it a lot and
19:34I've never really watched it myself.
19:36But recently I've started watching it
19:38and it's actually pretty entertaining.
19:40I'm not gonna lie.
19:41Some of the people on there on 90 day fiance below my mind.
19:44I think there are 12 seasons and right now I'm just
19:47watching season 12 like the most recent one.
19:49They're still airing episodes.
19:51But some of those people are comically like are they real?
19:55Is like sometimes what I think to myself.
19:57Like are they acting?
19:58Is this like a character that they're playing?
20:01Or is this like really how they are?
20:03Because some people man blow my mind.
20:06Because I mean they obviously try
20:08to find I think the most extreme.
20:10People that are like have like the most extreme situation
20:13or personality or character you know.
20:15They're not gonna choose the most normal
20:16mundane run of the mill Joe Schmo people right?
20:20They're gonna choose people that are like a little bit a
20:22little bit off their rocker you know.
20:23And it's entertaining.
20:25It's really entertaining.
20:26Now I'll turn the TV off.
20:31So in the living room you can sit back, relax, kick your
20:35feet up and just relax you know.
20:37Take a break.
20:38Usually you come here after a long day of work.
20:42When you just want to relax, watch a show, wind down and
20:46spend time either with your family,
20:48your friends or your partner or anyone or alone.
20:51Nothing wrong with that.
20:52But now let's move on to the next
20:55room and the next area of the house.
20:58And at the end I want you guys to tell me what is your
21:01favorite part of your home and why.
21:03And if you have a sauna in your home I'm
21:05sure that's probably your favorite part.
21:07So the last part is the laundry area.
21:12Kind of small it's just part of Leon's
21:14bathroom but this is the laundry area.
21:16Just one washer and dryer combo unit.
21:19So this is a washer and dryer in the same unit.
21:23So it's a two in one.
21:24And yeah that's the whole laundry area.
21:27To the side here you can see this is Leon's room.
21:31Take a look in there pretty clean.
21:35Now we're going to have a common mistakes section.
21:40So we're going to go through some common

23:10Now let's have the final shadowing segment where we talk
23:13about everything we have just learned
23:15in this video.
23:16So make sure to really focus on
23:18shadowing me, following along,
23:20practicing your pronunciation and your accent.
23:23Let's go.
23:24In the morning, I wake up in my bedroom.
23:27I get out of bed and make my bed.
23:30Then I open the curtains and let sunlight into the room.
23:34After that, I plug in my phone and clean my desk.
23:38Next, I go to the bathroom.
23:40I look in the mirror, brush my teeth and wash my face.
23:44Sometimes I take a shower in the morning.
