Full transcript
- 0:00This is a comprehensible input vlog. It
- 0:04is the best way to learn a new language.
- 0:08In fact, it's so effective that even a
- 0:11baby can do it. It's how you learned
- 0:14your native language. So, let's get
- 0:17ready to listen and watch for new vocab
- 0:21words and let's begin. Right now, it's
- 0:24the morning time. I've just woken up and
- 0:28my dog here is hungry.
- 0:32When you're hungry,
- 0:37you eat.
- 0:40But my dog,
- 0:43he doesn't have a lot of food left. His
- 0:47food container is empty.
- 0:51His bowl
- 0:54needs to be filled. This is a coffee
- 0:58pot. Right now, I am pouring coffee into
- 1:03my mug.
- 1:06These bananas. My dog Hank is just
- 1:11waking up. So, let's go outside. Come
- 1:13on, let's go potty. Okay, Hank is going
- 1:15to the bathroom. Before I go have fun, I
- 1:18have to do tasks. Right now, I'm going
- 1:21to wash the dishes.
- 1:24So, you get your bowl,
- 1:26put a little soap in there, you get your
- 1:29scrub brush,
- 1:32and you wash your dishes. You're washing
- 1:36your dishes. You're getting all the food
- 1:39off of the dishes so that the dishes are
- 1:42clean.
- 1:44We only eat out of clean dishes.
- 1:48Now, once it's washed, you set it here
- 1:52so that it can dry. The next thing that
- 1:54I need to do is brush my teeth.
- 1:59I'm going to use this toothpaste and put
- 2:01it on my toothbrush.
- 2:04And then I'm going to brush my teeth.
- 2:07The next thing that we have to do is
- 2:09make the bed. So, right here you have an
- 2:12unmade bed. First, we're going to take
- 2:14the pillows,
- 2:17put them
- 2:20like this.
- 2:22We're going to take this sheet. This is
- 2:24a sheet. We're going to spread the sheet
- 2:27out.
- 2:30That's called spreading. I'm about to
- 2:32leave my house and I have to choose
- 2:35I have to choose which shoes I'm going
- 2:38to wear.
- 2:40So, I think I will choose these
- 2:43flip-flops. I have my keys and I'm going
- 2:46to open the door.
- 2:50You can also close the door. You're
- 2:53going to open the door and I'm going to
- 2:55get in. I'm sitting.
- 2:58And now
- 3:00I'm going to start the car.
- 3:03So, I start the car.
- 3:07Now, the car is on.
- 3:09Now that the car is on, I need to choose
- 3:11my music. So, I've chosen Coulter Wall
- 3:15as the person who I'm going to listen
- 3:17to. He plays country music. Country
- 3:20music is popular where I'm from in Utah.
- 3:24So,
- 3:26that is who I'm listening to today. A
- 3:29lot of people hate country music, but
- 3:32not me. I love it. Part of learning a
- 3:34language, as a lot of you may know, is
- 3:37not just comprehensible input and
- 3:40receiving input, but it's also writing
- 3:44and output. So, I've told you who one of
- 3:48my favorite artists are. Now, you guys
- 3:50tell me who some of your favorite
- 3:52artists are that you like to listen to.
- 3:55Who do you like to listen to while you
- 3:58drive around? Tell me in the comments.
- 4:02Okay, now we found ourselves
- 4:06next to the snake.
- 4:08This is a snake. These are fish. These
- 4:12are called goldfish.
- 4:15Goldfish. They're kind of orange though,
- 4:19but they are goldfish. When I was a
- 4:23little kid, I had a snake like that. And
- 4:27it was my birthday. I was turning 12.
- 4:31And I brought my friends home after a
- 4:34long day of playing. And I went to show
- 4:37them my snake that was like this. But
- 4:42the snake had escaped into my house.
- 4:47And I never found it again. Scary. Do
- 4:50you guys have any pets at home? Do you
- 4:53have a dog? Like I have a dog. Do you
- 4:56have a snake like I have for had? I had
- 5:00a snake.
- 5:04We have what's called a guinea pig. A
- 5:07guinea pig.
- 5:09These things get eaten in South America,
- 5:14I believe. If you know what country
- 5:17people eat guinea pigs in, let me know
- 5:19below in the comments. This is an aisle.
- 5:23There are many aisles
- 5:26in stores like this.
- 5:28This is called a costume.
- 5:32A costume.
- 5:34This. Put it on your dog. This dog is
- 5:38wearing a costume. He's dressed up for
- 5:42what's called Halloween. In America, we
- 5:45have Halloween where you dress up. This
- 5:48is a carrot.
- 5:51You eat it. Just bought the dog food. I
- 5:56bought the dog food. Now, we're going to
- 5:58go to the guitar store so that I can
- 6:01play the guitar. And maybe you know what
- 6:03a guitar is already, but if you don't,
- 6:06take a guess. And I will show you in
- 6:10just a second when we get to the guitar
- 6:12store. But I miss playing the guitar
- 6:16because I had a guitar at home and I
- 6:19played it all the time, like two hours a
- 6:23day. But now, since I'm here in Puerto
- 6:26Rico, I don't have a guitar. So, we're
- 6:29going to the guitar store where you buy
- 6:32guitars. Just like I bought this food,
- 6:38we're going to go and maybe maybe we
- 6:42will buy a guitar. Right now, we are in
- 6:44a music store. So, there is lots of
- 6:48music stuff. This is a guitar. The
- 6:52guitar has strings
- 6:57and you make music on the guitar. If you
- 7:01want to have fun, you can do an activity
- 7:05like playing the guitar.
- 7:10[Music]
- 7:19Now, part of the comprehensible input is
- 7:23output also. So, tell me in the
- 7:25comments, what do you like to do for
- 7:26fun? And it will be good practice to
- 7:29type out what you do. I've just arrived
- 7:32home. So, I'm going to put my key into
- 7:35the door knob
- 7:38and I'm going to unlock the door and
- 7:41open it. And there's my dog with his new
- 7:45food. What's up, buddy? What's up, man?
- 7:50This is the dog. And he's super excited
- 7:52right now. He's very excited. So, I'm
- 7:56using a knife
- 7:58to open
- 8:01and cut open the bag.
- 8:05There's only so much safety that you can
- 8:08do with one hand, but I have now opened
- 8:12the bag.
- 8:15So now I'm going to fill the container
- 8:20by pouring
- 8:23the dog food.
- 8:25I'm going to grab a banana
- 8:28and we are going to go adventure. So
- 8:31here I am opening the door.
- 8:35Now I'm going to put on my shoes.
- 8:39Say bye to my really interesting
- 8:43apartment. What's this? What is that?
- 8:48Close the door. My keys.
- 8:51And I'm going to lock the door. Lock the
- 8:53door. Now it's locked. I cannot get in.
- 8:57Oh, I have to unlock the car.
- 9:00Hank the dog. He gets in the back seat.
- 9:04Hank up.
- 9:06The back seat of the car is dirty. This
- 9:09can be described as dirty. It's filled
- 9:11with sand.
- 9:13But Hank doesn't care cuz he's a dog.
- 9:17Okay, we've just arrived at the spot.
- 9:21Down there is the water.
- 9:23So, we have to be very careful.
- 9:27Be very careful when we're walking down
- 9:30the pathway or the stairs
- 9:34to the water. Just arrived at the nice
- 9:38waterfall, swimming hole. This is where
- 9:42you go swimming in the water.
- 9:47This is called swimming. Hank is a dog
- 9:50and he can swim just like I can swim.
- 9:56That's called jumping. He just jumps
- 9:59into the water. My dog wants to jump,
- 10:02but he doesn't know how. Here is the
- 10:05waterfall. This is called a waterfall.
- 10:10It's where the water is running and then
- 10:13it falls off and goes down.
- 10:16Hank, what do you think, Hank? Hank, he
- 10:20doesn't care. Hank loves the water. We
- 10:23are leaving the water area so we are
- 10:27going up the stairs.
- 10:30We're walking up the stairs so that we
- 10:35can go to a new place. I think Hank had
- 10:39fun. I think his tail is wagging now and
- 10:42he's had fun. So, I'm going to open the
- 10:44door and Hank up. Hank's getting in the
- 10:48car. He's getting in the back seat
- 10:51now. I'm going to walk to the front
- 10:53seat.
- 10:55Now that I am driving, I need to find my
- 10:58glasses. I need to find my glasses so
- 11:02that I can see. So, I'm going to look
- 11:04around my car. My glasses are not there.
- 11:08Oh, here are my glasses. I'm putting on
- 11:12my glasses.
- 11:14I take off and I put on my glasses so
- 11:18that I now can see. I can see. so I
- 11:21don't crash
- 11:23and burn in the road. Okay, we have Hank
- 11:26in the back seat. Hank just had a lot of
- 11:29fun and now he is wet. He is a wet dog
- 11:33and I am a wet human. I have water on me
- 11:37so I'm wet. We have stumbled upon a
- 11:40horse. So I want to show you guys this
- 11:43is what a horse looks like. And this is
- 11:46an excited dog. And I don't know how
- 11:49this horse is going to react to my dog,
- 11:53but he is well trained and he won't go
- 11:56near it. Look at how pretty the horse
- 11:59is. He wants to be friends with the
- 12:02horse.
- 12:03Hank and the horse are friends. Can I
- 12:07tell the dog Hank follow? Can I tell him
- 12:10to follow?
- 12:11That means that he's going to walk next
- 12:13to me.
- 12:16Right now we are on a street. It's small
- 12:19and we're driving on a street going
- 12:22fairly slow.
- 12:24On the side you can see buildings
- 12:27and on the street there are cars that
- 12:31are driving cars.
- 12:34That's a nice orange building. Now we're
- 12:38going to go walk around the city. But
- 12:40since we're going out in public, public
- 12:43is when you're around a lot of people, I
- 12:47have to put on my shirt so that I am
- 12:50decent. Decent is when you are clothed
- 12:54and you are able to be seen by other
- 12:57people without surprising anyone. If you
- 13:00have a dog, you have to put on his
- 13:03leash. So, I'm putting on his leash. His
- 13:09leash is now on. We are going to cruise
- 13:12around the city. Cruise is just like
- 13:16walk around, enjoy,
- 13:19see things to cruise around. You cruise
- 13:24around with your friends. Here we have
- 13:26grass. This is called grass. Down here
- 13:29we have a church. This church is the
- 13:32oldest church in the new world. in the
- 13:37new world that's like North America. The
- 13:41old world is like Europe and that area
- 13:46where there have been people for a lot
- 13:49longer. This church was built in I think
- 13:54163.
- 13:56So it's very very old. It's like a
- 13:58grandma. Okay. These are called stairs.
- 14:03These particular stairs are made of
- 14:06brick. They're made of brick and they're
- 14:10very old. They're like 400 years old. In
- 14:14English, we say it's an old ass church.
- 14:19That's kind of slang. We just say
- 14:20everything is ass. That's old ass.
- 14:25That is a cool ass house.
- 14:28Behind me, you can see that this church
- 14:32made of brick is so old that there used
- 14:38to be in the past there used to be
- 14:41another building here, but the building
- 14:45has fallen down. So, it looks like they
- 14:49built another building.
- 14:52They put up another building when the
- 14:55other one
- 14:57collapsed. It fell down and now it's no
- 15:01longer. Wherever you are in the world,
- 15:05comment down below. Tell me what country
- 15:07you're from and tell me
- 15:10your pet's name. In the next video, I
- 15:14will post what top five countries you
- 15:17guys are all from. We have a pink
- 15:19building and a yellow building. And this
- 15:23style of buildings is very much
- 15:27Caribbean style because right now I'm in
- 15:30Puerto Rico and that is in the
- 15:33Caribbean. We have made it back to my
- 15:36car. And I wanted to point this out
- 15:39because this house right here, it's
- 15:42abandoned now. But
- 15:45I would call this a tree house.
- 15:49A treehouse. A a house that is on
- 15:54a tree kind of. How old do you think
- 15:59that that house is? I'm going to guess
- 16:051900.
- 16:06In the comments below, how old do you
- 16:09think this house is? Just gotten home.
- 16:12We made it. The rain just barely came.
- 16:15So, we are good. We're safe. We're dry.
- 16:18And now it's time for Hank's favorite
- 16:22time of the day,
- 16:25treat time.
- 16:27So, he gets a treat when we get home.
- 16:32Now that Hank has had his treat, I want
- 16:35a treat cuz I was feeling jealous. When
- 16:39you feel jealous, you wish that you had
- 16:42what someone else had. So, I got myself
- 16:46a treat. Humans can eat treats, too.
- 16:49When you eat a treat,
- 16:53this treat is made of chocolate.
- 16:57M
- 16:59I love chocolate. You can describe
- 17:02something that you that tastes good to
- 17:04you as tasty,
- 17:07flavorful.
- 17:10That treat was delicious.
- 17:13>> This is a small dog. Hank and the small
- 17:17dog are friends.
- 17:20So just like humans can have friends,
- 17:22dogs can have friends as well. Right now
- 17:26we are entering the park. This is the
- 17:30park and we are entering it. All this
- 17:34dog cares about is ball and me. So,
- 17:40we've come to the park
- 17:42and we are going to throw the ball
- 17:46for the dog.
- 17:48Now, we're chilling. You can call being
- 17:52in the park chilling.
- 17:56Usually, it's it's chilling, but when
- 17:59you say it fast, it's just chilling. So,
- 18:02you take the G off the end. Okay. Right
- 18:04here, you're going to find what's called
- 18:07a slide.
- 18:09This is what kids slide down. When you
- 18:12go down it, you slide on it. Okay, Hank
- 18:15is not sliding. He is standing on the
- 18:20slide.
- 18:23This whole thing right here is called a
- 18:26playground.
- 18:27It's a playground. It's where kids play
- 18:30on it. Okay, look. There's a snake.
- 18:34Today we saw a snake
- 18:36inside and a snake outside. What a tank.
- 18:41What? That's crazy. Okay, this is what's
- 18:44called a table.
- 18:48Here is called a trash can.
- 18:51And here is called a gazebo.
- 18:55This whole enclosed
- 18:58well covered structure, it's covered
- 19:00from the rain. It's called the gazebo.
- 19:03And then you have a table inside of it
- 19:05and benches. These are benches to sit
- 19:09on. You have more benches around. Okay.
- 19:12Here, this is called a skate park. This
- 19:16whole area is a skate park.
- 19:20And within the skate park, you have
- 19:23rails,
- 19:26another rail that goes downstairs.
- 19:31This
- 19:33I don't know what that's called, but you
- 19:35skate it. If I had my skateboard, I
- 19:38would jump on it. And I really miss my
- 19:41skateboard.
- 19:43Okay, this is called kicking.
- 19:47He is going down a ramp.
- 19:50That is a ramp. Now he is going up the
- 19:54ramp. Okay, this is something I've never
- 19:58seen before. I've never seen this in my
- 20:02entire life. This tree has spikes on it.
- 20:09These pointy things are called spikes.
- 20:12They will hurt you if you touch them. If
- 20:15you touch them, they will prick you. But
- 20:18the whole entire tree
- 20:22has spikes on it. If anyone knows the
- 20:25name of this tree, please tell me.
- 20:29I mean, seriously, these are crazy
- 20:32looking.
- 20:34Never in my life. Okay, this is very
- 20:37common here in Puerto Rico. We have All
- 20:40the dogs are around, but they don't have
- 20:42owners. They're called stray dogs.
- 20:45Stray dogs.
- 20:48So, this one looks pregnant. That means
- 20:51that he pro or she probably has a baby
- 20:54in her. We're walking down this pathway.
- 20:58This is a pathway that's next to the
- 21:00beach.
- 21:02Oh,
- 21:04down this pathway we're going to find a
- 21:07beautiful beach where there's no people.
- 21:11There's no people and it's absolutely
- 21:14serene. There's silence and peace down
- 21:18this beach where there's no people.
- 21:20Okay, look at that. The pathway has led
- 21:24us to this secluded because there are no
- 21:28people here. So it is secluded.
- 21:32No people beach. This is the beach with
- 21:36the sand. This is the ocean.
- 21:39Pink. Don't drink that water. The water
- 21:43has salt in it and it's bad for you. I'm
- 21:47ditching the clothes because I forgot my
- 21:50swimsuit.
- 21:52And we are going swimming.
- 21:57Look at this. The perfect swimmer
- 22:00doesn't exist.
- 22:02He does. It's him. Okay. I want to know
- 22:06where you guys are from. What countries
- 22:08are you from? Tell me one thing about
- 22:10your country that is unique to it and I
- 22:14will post some of them in the next
- 22:16video. Let's get a little community
- 22:20community going
- 22:24of language learners through
- 22:26comprehensible input. So right now I'm
- 22:29learning Spanish. So I am also watching
- 22:33videos like this but in Spanish
- 22:35versions. So let's do it together. Let's
- 22:38form a little community as a group of
- 22:41people.
