ec jewelers welcome to Singapore
I'm here for a few days just traveling
fruit
meeting up with a nice new dreamer and I
thought well this is a great place to
learn English so just like I did back in
London I'm gonna do a video today about
learning English anywhere because I
believe that it doesn't matter where you
are you can learn English anywhere you
just got to look in the right places so
for example I'm going to look at adverts
American street signs I'm gonna look at
shops and see what great English I can
find for you guys so we'll have a look
around Singapore for the next few days
see what English we can find teach it to
you should be fun okay let's do this
guy's all right an early problem
the rain has suddenly come in the
tropical rain aside there's thunder this
is gonna make it hard to search for
English outside so I just come to a
shopping mall here raffles City I've
little look in there see what English we
can find okay I'm outside Jack wheels
which is a British shop and I found
spring vibes now vibes that's the one I
went to look at but I just kind of needs
that blue moon
so they've got a collection of t-shirts
here which have got colors like spring
colors so it's kinda like spring move
that that's the kind of feeling they
want to give you you could have like
summer vibes or I see on social media
for example someone will be on holiday
and they'll post a photo of their
holiday and they'll put like summer
vibes like summer movies summer feeling
so yeah it's quite a trendy word at the
moment vibes you'll put a noun in front
of it's a summer vibe spring vibes
holiday vibes whatever it is nice bit of
English they're quite modern definitely
you'll find a lot of social media good
job jack okay I think this might be
quite an international phrase but we'll
learn anyway hours when a bar like this
is on a special deal maybe it's two
beers for one or two drinks so one needs
two points for about 20 dollars so yeah
it's an incentive to get you to go into
the bar
and said of course it isn't always just
one hour it could be a couple of hours
and it might not even be the evening it
could be in the daytime
this one is all day every day so a happy
day not happy out to be honest
what's this raining like this there's
nothing else to do but to enjoy half the
hour I'm gonna keep searching okay sign
right here sorry we're trying to help
you the beach but we can't quench your
thirst but to quench it to satisfy so
when your thirst eat when you need to
drink quench it you took a glass of
water you satisfy your thirst so that's
the verb we use so to quench your thirst
so it's quite hot right here I'm quite
thirsty so I need to quench my thirst
I'm gonna go get a glass of water
hi guys before I start finding any
English around Singapore I need
breakfast so I've just gone in here this
is a arkin they do amazing kaya toast
which is a sweet sauce on bread and then
you have eggs and you have a nice coffee
it's the perfect way to begin a day in
Singapore so I've had that now I'm gonna
go find some English around this
beautiful city a nice piece of English
here on the MRT
bags down for less frowns now a frown is
a noun it's when you have sort of sad
face when you're a bit sad or upset you
might frown I try now
that was my front it's a terrible front
but anyway yeah on the MTR science here
bags down for less Franzen I guess
economy is that you've got your backpack
you're going to kind of bump people and
then you're an upset people so bags down
put it on the floor you know in a bump
people and therefore no friends all
right here's the Train hi guys they're
taking a little break from my search for
English to come to Gardens by the bay
which is the most beautiful place it's
just kind of serene Park and they create
these amazing super trees and I've gone
up to the tree walk you could go right
up to the top and just have a walk
around alright I said they were taking a
break from searching for English but
then I went and found some cool English
up here in Gardens by the bay
so here's that's a phrase do not lead to
lead is a verb it means to rest your
body on something so you might lean on
this side here you give all your weight
to this so we can lean on a lamppost you
can lean on somebody yeah it's a good
little verb so even up here the top
[Music]
here's another nice phrase at bird's eye
view this is an idiom it just means a
viewpoint from a very high place so
obviously up here at the top of the
trees I've got a bird's-eye view over
Gardens by the bay and over Singapore
the bird's eye view
now these trees are amazing so they're
big metal structures enormous metal
structures they're going up sort of 100
feet I don't know even more and then all
the way up then they've got plants
growing so they create this super tree
the middle one is the biggest and that
has a restaurant at the top which is
pretty awesome at night time this place
is magical they have a light show set to
music it's an amazing place to be people
just sat out at the bottom taking photos
just lying there enjoying the view I had
this place guys you've gotta come here
this is the waiter here's another nice
sign hang around longer hang around
means to kind of stay like stay you know
if you're at someone's house and they
want to go now come on hang around stay
so it's a hang around longer stay longer
don't go anywhere obviously they've used
hang around here with this picture
because these flowers are hanging so
it's kind of like a two meanings like
the flowers are hanging but hang around
means to stay so yeah good work I like
it guys by the way all right I've come
to India which is an area in Singapore
that of course it's full of little
Indian shops and restaurants and stuff
at that really to the area lots of cool
music very vibrant area anyway I'm here
to have a look to see if I can find a
mission in English
and maybe get a little Indian food as
well alright as you can see I'm getting
quite hot and sweaty
now I've just found a nice example here
of English is tip-top biryani tip-top
kinda means the best like very very good
so if you see something it's in tip-top
condition then it's in the very best
condition so maybe a car is in tip-top
condition or a person is in tip-top
condition they're in the best condition
so I guess they're saying here that this
is the best biryani in Singapore I don't
know if it is but anyway tip-top nice
my guys are taking a little break from
the heat I've come into a place before
coach and now this guy does the
michelin-starred chicken right this is
amazing there are queues out the door
and it's $3.00 a tea which is right 2
pounds so it's the cheapest wishlist are
nil in
we've got our national adjective they're
Michelin star is an award given to high
quality restaurants from the Michelin
Guide and the adjective is a
michelin-starred restaurant so if what
they're eating and starting to make an
active site initially denied the
restaurant and this one is the cheapest
mr. star restaurant in the world
[Music]
