CAFÉS IN VIETNAM ☕️ spending afternoons at cozy cafés, saigon coffee shops | travel with me vlog
Vietnam has lots of cafés here and there. I’m really amused by their coffee culture. Most of the coffee we tried were absolutely terrific and the pastries were delicious, too. One fascinating fact about their cafés is how many of them are hidden in the most unexpected buildings and alleyways. You would never suspect at all!🤭 The prices are also cheaper compared to most countries. With the quality you are getting, you’re getting so much more than you paid for. I really recommend exploring their cafés. It’s such a wonderful experience.☕️

    Right now, Immersive Translate is my go-to app as a language learner. I personally like to use it to watch my shows and movies on UA-cam and Netflix every day. That’s how I’ve been slowly but surely immersing myself in my target language. I’ve already learned a lot so far, and am quite pleased with the plugin.

    When learning a new language, I personally prefer to self-studying using Immersive Translate, which is a free browser that supports over 100+ languages. I use it to watch my shows and movies on Netflix, and that’s how I’ve been integrating myself in my target language, which is Vietnamese. I’ve already learned a great deal, which is really great.

    As a beginner in Japanese, I began my journey with manga and anime, but I struggled to understand the main idea without assistance. I used to depend on Google Translate, which didn't help me progress in learning the language. Now, I prefer Immersive Translate because it presents both languages side by side, allowing me to learn new words and phrases on my own rather than just skimming through poorly translated texts.

    You're using many of the books I love as well (though I'm studying for N4 not N3) ❤ That Japan Times Best Practice Test book is amazing. I used it for the N5 and I love that you're supposed to detach the test parts from the spine so that it feels more than the actual test 😍 I also used the Speed Master reading comprehension book in the past and found it really helpful. I'm currently using the grammar one but find the explanations a bit too short. I switched to the Bunpro app for Android instead

    Nice video! I have been self-studying Japanese for a couple of years and it has been an interesting journey so far. I've been using the Marugoto coursebooks, which I don't know if you have heard of. If not, check them out! I find them to be quite useful and the explanations there are very easy to follow if you're a self-student. I'm still around the N4 level, but I have noted down all the books you have shown so I can buy them and work with them once I get to N3. I really liked the vocabulary book shown at 4:34. It has better explanations than the ones I have and goes into more detail, so I will consider buying the N4 one first! If you plan to make more videos about this topic in the future, I would really love to see one showing your studying methods! I want to compare them with the ones I have and see how I can get better. This video was quite useful. Keep up the good work!
