Visit Sandwich http://www.visitsandwich.co.uk Visit Kent Pegwell Bay http://www.visitkent.co.uk/attractions/pegwell-bay/9012 Visit Thanet Ramsgate http://www.visitthanet.co.uk/destinations/ramsgate/10539?microSiteId=210 For anybody who is trying to learn English using my videos it is worth pointing out the following: 1:09 I said "I see here that they are making a new version of 'Swallows and Amazons' ". This movie has already been made so I should have said something along the lines of "A new version of 'Swallows and Amazons' has been produced." 2:03 A lawnmover is a device for cutting grass. 2:17 The word 'commute' means 'to travel to work'. 2:30 A 'sluice' is a hydraulic device which is shown in the video. 3:30 You can see a wooden carving or corbel. A city like Oxford has lots more of these although in Oxford the corbels are made of stone. 3:44 A 'bale' can be a large quantity of hay wrapped in a bundle. In the field behind me the bales have a cylindrical shape. They are shaped like a cylinder. 4:00 The first paragraph is written in English. The second paragraph is written in French. The words AD 979 are written in that order (AD 979). However, if you want to say these words you say "nine-hundred and seventy-nine AD". 4:19 The word 'timbered' means 'wooden' or 'en bois'. 4:37 The phrase 'still be traced' means 'a sign that something has existed'. 4:55 The phrase 'pinching bits of steel' means 'stealing a metal named steel'. The word 'steel' is 'acier' in French and 'acero' in Spanish. 5:29 This 'caught my eye' means that 'this appeared very attractive' or 'this stood out'. 6:06 Eagle musical stand. This wooden object is a music stand which is partly shaped like an eagle. An eagle is a type of bird. 6:24 The floor 'creaks' when I walked over it. This is the sound you hear. This is common in old buildings. 7:03 A 'terrace' is a 'row of houses built in the same style in one block'. A 'row' is a 'number of things or people in a line'. 7:13 To 'multiply', 'times', or 'x' is the same as the verb 'multiplier' in French. 7:50 'I'm going to track that down' means 'I am going to find that'. 7:57 'starting to pop-up all over the place' means they are 'starting to appear all everywhere'. In this video I was referring to wind turbines which are increasing in number. Wind turbines are becoming more common in the United Kingdom. 8:25 The verb 'unveil' means to 'announce or show to the public for the first time'. 8:44 The word 'vicinity' means 'the area surrounding a place'. 8:50 I found the name 'Hengist' hard to read on the stone. 8:53 I read they date in the incorrect order. The correct order is '449 AD' or 'four-hundred and forty-nine AD'. 9:09 Check the pronunciation of the boat's name. 9:45 A hovercraft is a type of boat which uses a cushion of air to move across the water. The hovercraft was invented by Sir Christopher Cockerell who went to Gresham's School in Norfolk. 10:14 I was trying to explain in French that if you visit the town of Gravelines in northern France then you can also see a Viking ship there. Gravelines is an interesting sleepy walled town. The old part of Gravelines is surrounded by water. This is called a 'moat'. A 'moat' is a 'wide ditch filled with water'. 10:39 The number '53' in German is 'dreiundfünfzig'. Refer to websites such as http://www.europa-pages.co.uk/lessons/german-numbers.html and http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/german/grammar/de_numbers.shtml 10:43 The dots written above the letter 'a' are an umlaut which leads to 'ä'. An 'umlaut' is a 'modification sign'. 11:09 I should have said "Vikingskipshuset". I said something like "Vikinghuset". Vikingskipshuset is a Viking ship museum that can be found in Bygdøy in Oslo, Norway. Vikingskipshuset http://www.khm.uio.no/besok-oss/vikingskipshuset The Viking Ship Museum http://www.khm.uio.no/english The Norwegian word 'skip' is actually pronounced more like the English word for 'sheep'.
