3
My work days can feel the same every day.
4
Emails, meetings, deadlines.
5
And sometimes one task, even if it's very small, can feel very hard.
6
You put it off, think about it all day, and then it just stays on your to-do list.
7
A to-do list is a list of jobs that you have to do.
8
Do you make those for yourself?
9
For me, it's not a task itself that is difficult.
10
It's just getting started on it.
11
Hi, I'm Josipa and in this episode we are talking about small wins at work.
12
Those tiny achievements that help us feel good and stay motivated.
13
So let's imagine a short break at work, coffee in hand, Alan and Claire are chatting about the little wins they had today.
14
I finally sent that email I've been putting off.
15
Give yourself a pat on the back.
16
I know that was a tough one.
17
I know, right?
18
I even treated myself to chocolate.
19
Good on you.
20
Now use that small win to build some momentum.
21
Small wins at work might not seem like a big deal, but for me, they can make a huge difference.
22
How about you?
23
Do you celebrate small wins?
24
While you think about your last small win, let's look more closely at the phrases we just heard.
25
Alan first said, I finally sent that email I've been putting off.
26
To put something off means to delay doing it, often because it feels difficult or uncomfortable.
27
It's a very common phrase in everyday English, especially when talking about work.
28
For example, you could say, I've been putting off that report all week.
29
Or, I keep putting off calling the client.
30
I keep putting off cleaning those shelves.
31
Next, Claire said...
32
Give yourself a pat on the back.
33
To give yourself a pat on the back means to feel proud about something you've done.
34
It is like you praise yourself.
35
It's often used when someone has achieved something, even something small.
36
You might also hear, You should be proud of yourself.
37
Or, more casually, Nice work!
38
Then Alan said, I even treated myself to chocolate.
39
To treat yourself means to give yourself a small reward.
40
It could be chocolate, a coffee, a break, or anything you enjoy.
41
For example, I treated myself to a nice lunch.
42
Or I'll treat myself after I finish this task.
43
Next, Claire said...
44
Now use that small win to build some momentum.
45
Momentum is energy and movement so that things progress.
46
When you build momentum, one small success helps you move on to the next task and so you keep going.
47
You could also say...
48
Keep the ball rolling with that win.
49
The phrase, keep the ball rolling, comes from sport.
50
When you roll a ball, it keeps moving.
51
In English, we use it to mean keep going or don't stop.
52
Keep the ball rolling.
53
For example, I finally got through my emails.
54
Now I can keep the ball rolling and finish my report.
55
Finally, Alan said...
56
One step at a time.
57
I'm slowly getting there.
58
One step at a time is a very common phrase in English.
59
It means focusing on small actions instead of trying to do everything at once.
60
It's often used to talk about habits, work goals or personal progress.
61
And of course, you're not getting to any particular destination when you say, I'm taking one step at a time.
62
But you are making progress in whatever you are doing.
63
You could also say, I'm getting there, slowly but surely.
64
Or, I'm making steady progress.
65
If you are making steady progress, you are slowly improving or getting better, one step at a time.
66
Now, let's run through that dialogue one more time, and then my favourite part, our turn to practice out loud.

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

StrukturIm Video
Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing – eine Handlung, die früher begann und noch andauertI've been putting

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 16 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'm, I've, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, casually /ˈkæʒuəli/, shelf /ʃɛlf/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: momentum /ˌmə(ʊ)ˈmɛntəm/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, continuous /kənˈtɪn.juː.əs/, destination /dɛstɪˈneɪʃən/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): reward /ɹɪˈwɔɹd/, waterway /ˈwɔːtəweɪ/
  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, reward /ɹɪˈwɔɹd/, acknowledge /əkˈnɑ.lɪd͡ʒ/, dialogue /ˈdaɪəˌlɑɡ/, praise /pɹeɪz/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: casually /ˈkæʒuəli/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie momentum, phrase, uncomfortable.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
