People forget 90% of what they learn in traditional classrooms.
But why?
It's because it's passive, there are no visuals, and it's boring.
So today we're going to learn 25 cooking-themed words right in my kitchen, in the supermarket and on the beach.
So you can learn in a fun way.
Let's cook.
We're back and we are cooking breakfast.
Let's see what we've got.
Right now, I am cooking a fried egg.

So while Chang is toasting the bread, Chang, can you watch my egg?

So, chilling in the apartment now.
It's a beautiful day in Da Nang City.
Let's go outside.
So I'm opening the door.
This is a patio.

You can hear the cars on the roads.
This here, a giant hotel.
In the distance we have the ocean beautiful.
A large palm tree stood up there and some tennis courts down there, if you can see them.
This down here is a road and the cars are passing on the road.
You have the double yellow lines in the middle.
It's a beautiful morning in Da Nang.
The sun is shining and I'm feeling good.
Anyway, I think Chang might burn the eggs, so let's go check.
We should get some music on.
Yeah, I'll just get things ready if you just film the whole thing.
And I've burnt the toast.
Shit, I've burnt the toast.

We have a bottle of red wine, cinnamon sticks, star anise, cloves.
I'm going to put these ingredients into the pan.
The final step to add some sweetness to this is the honey.
We've got the honey, Chang.
Well, let's go to the shop.
With me.
Put everything?

I've got my jar of honey here, my teaspoon.
Now I'm gonna put it in the fridge.

Well, now you're chilling.
I want to share a quick tip with you guys.
I share this with Chang and she knows the vocabulary for everything around our house.
More than me.
You're going to take some post-it notes and stick them to things around your house, especially the name of things you don't know the name of.
For example, extractor fan.
Vase.
Showerhead.
Got it?
Good.
Now I'm going to prepare for the picnic.
So I'll see you guys on the beach.
