So most people today are trying to be really healthy, but the way that they're going about it is actually causing more harm than good.

Whether it's cold smoothies first thing in the morning, fasted workouts, skipping breakfast, or just pushing through exhaustion because of discipline,

and then wondering why you might feel bloated or tired or just a little bit off.

And so in today's video, I wanted to talk a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine

and 15 tips that you can implement into your life from TCM.

TCM is all about balance and understanding the root causes of things

and living life in a way that allows you to be healthy

and happy for the long term rather than running into issues

and then trying to fix symptoms with medication or things like that.

So we're going to be walking through 15 tips broken down into three categories, beginner, intermediate, and advanced.

So the beginner ones are things you can start to do today.

Intermediate you can get into if you've been exploring TCM for a little bit, and advanced it's just things to start thinking about today

that hopefully are within reach for you to work on in the future.

The goal isn't just to copy these, but to start understanding how to look at your life and your wellness with a different framework.

Okay, we're going to start with the basics, five beginner tips in traditional Chinese medicine.

Number one, you guys know the drill, start your day with warm water.

In TCM, digestion is described as a fire or like a pot cooking on the stove.

And when you wake up, the first thing you want to do is turn on the heat before you expect things to be cooked inside.

And so when you have a little glass of warm water, you're telling your system.

It's time to wake up.

It's time to get digestion flowing.

When you wake up and immediately have an iced coffee or iced smoothie, you're kind of dimming that fire.

And then when you try to cook things inside of the pot

and wonder why things aren't cooking or it's starting to get stagnant, it's because there's no energy to heat the things up inside.

And so warm water in the morning, it helps with digestion.

It's soothing.

It helps with energy.

And the whole idea behind warm water is it's not just the warm water going into your body,

but it's the fact that you're doing something kind for your digestion.

When your digestion is warmed up, it can process food into energy well.

And when your body's doing that well, you're going to be happy and you're going to feel good.

In TCM, the root of many problems is weak digestion.

So that's why no matter what pattern you have in TCM,

your acupuncturist or TCM doctor will tell you to introduce more warm water into your diet.

It's exactly because digestion is seen as such a root cause to so many problems in TCM.

So yeah, start your day with warm water, have it throughout the day.

Quick tip, if you are ordering it somewhere, you can ask for half hot water, half cold water, the water will be nicely warm.

I personally don't like to drink super, super hot water.

My temperature test is if I'm able to take a couple sips in a row, then I know that the temperature is right.

So it should not be uncomfortable.

You should not be burning yourself.

And if it's too hot, you probably won't drink enough water as well.

So just warm is good enough.

Number two is to keep your feet warm at home.

So this one seems simple, but it's actually really important.

If you've ever gone to a Chinese person's house, you'll notice that they are either wearing socks, but usually also slippers, especially in the wintertime.

And so why is this?

So your feet are where a lot of your energy channels are, right?

So that's why you'll see people doing foot massages, warm foot baths, and TCM.

But the idea is that when that area is cold, circulation slows in the entire body.

Especially for women, this can affect everything from cramps to energy levels.

It also just doesn't feel good when you have cold feet.

I've always found that if my feet are wet or cold in the wintertime, that's when I'm most likely to get sick, interestingly enough.

So something as small as wearing socks at home, wearing slippers as well.

If you have a lot of cramps, I'd also recommend wearing socks to bed and just trying it out, especially in the wintertime

it can actually support your system more than you might expect okay number three in the same vein

you want to dry your hair after showering before going outside in chinese medicine

there's this idea of external cold basically meaning

when your body is vulnerable like after a shower before

you go to bed cold can enter your body more easily

and cold in the body weakens your immune system makes you more susceptible to illness getting sick fatigue poor digestion

so going to bed with wet hair stepping into cold air like that might not affect you immediately,

but over time it can lead to tension, fatigue, headaches.

So yeah, if I shower at night, I'm always blow drying my hair before I go to bed.

And if I'm showering in the morning and it's a little cold outside, I'm always blow drying it before I go outside.

And yeah, I think it's also better for your hair health

if it's dry before you go to bed

and you're going to look a little more put together if you dry it before going to work in the morning.

So trust me on this one.

Okay.

So number four, we're making our way down the body is to keep your neck warm, especially in the winter time.

So in Chinese medicine, the neck is believed to be the entry point for something called wind.

Wind is, think of it like external pathogens.

So bacteria, illness, allergens.

The idea is that wind enters your body through an exposed neck and affects your lung system first, right?

So this kind of tracks with the idea of like when you get allergies,

the first thing to be affected is you're sniffling and coughing your respiratory system.

Same thing with when you get a common cold, the first thing you expect is a sore throat or kind of like mucus in your lungs.

So the idea in Chinese medicine is that it enters kind of through an exposed neck.

So especially if you frequently get sick or you get a lot of colds, it's really important to protect that area.

Scarves and layers in the wintertime, it's cute and it protects your body.

And then if you're kind of in that springtime, like I am right now in New York, those lighter layers, lighter scarves also help as well.

Number five is to choose warm cooked vegetables over big raw salads.

So raw foods are not bad.

They are just a little bit harder to digest.

And what that means is it requires a little bit more energy from your body to break them down

so you can imagine like there's degrees of severity here too right

so an iceberg lettuce salad is easier for your body to digest than a big bowl of kale

and the idea is if you've ever had one of those big salads

and felt bloated afterwards and wondered why because you ate

so healthy the idea is that there's

so much fiber in some of these raw leafy veggies it's just harder for your body to break down.

In Chinese medicine, there is this idea

that there is a finite amount of energy in your body dedicated to doing specific tasks.

So when you eat foods that are easier to digest,

it means your body can digest it properly and then get back to whatever it was doing, whether you're thinking about a really hard problem,

whether you need energy to go on a walk or go somewhere or exercise later in the day.

When you eat something that's a little harder to digest, like some of these very high fiber veggies raw,

your body's going to put a lot of energy into digesting

100

that and breaking that down and have a little bit less left over for doing other things.

101

So if you've ever eaten a huge salad and then had some brain fog afterwards, I remember when I was in corporate world,

102

I used to experience that almost every day and been confused because I was like, well, I just ate a really healthy salad.

103

Why am I having brain fog now?

104

It's because your body is putting all of its energy into digesting that salad.

105

Now I'm not saying to stop eating your kale and your veggies.

106

No, no, no. I'm saying to cook them and eat them warm.

107

So when you cook them,

108

you help break down some of those harder to digest fibers and it just becomes easier for your body to break down.

109

So especially if you're prone to bloating, fatigue, constipation, anything digestion wise, I would definitely give this a try

110

because you want to support your digestion instead of taxing it

111

and eating warm cooked things is one of the easiest ways to do that.

112

Okay, once you have those down, the next five get into our intermediate layer, which require a little bit more awareness

113

so I believe in you I think

114

you can do it let's get into it number six is to warm your system before eating cold foods

115

so I'm a firm believer in balance right

116

so you understand now eating warm things supports your digestion it allows your digestion to function better and

117

that means you have more energy to do other things the reality is it's April 15th

118

we're getting into the summer

119

it's 80 degrees out today how are we just gonna eat warm things it seems a little bit unlikely unreasonable.

120

And I don't want you to just completely abandon the path.

121

So I'm going to walk through the framework of how to eat cold things.

122

The idea is you don't want or have to eliminate cold foods entirely.

123

It's important to eat and drink things that make you happy, but to approach it from a position of balance.

124

So the underlying framework is we want to make sure our digestion is warm so that it can function well.

125

So the same idea applies to eating cold things.

126

You want to warm up your digestion before eating anything cold.

127

So your timing matters here.

128

So ideally, if you really want a smoothie for breakfast, you warm up your digestion first with some hot tea or hot bone broth.

129

If you start your meal with something warm like that, your digestion is actually prepared to take down something cold.

130

Whereas if you were to just eat something cold straight up, your digestion would be like, we have to stop.

131

Like we're frozen and we need to process this first.

132

Number seven is to chew slowly and eat super calmly

133

so this kind of goes back to

134

that idea i mentioned earlier where there's a finite amount of energy in your body

135

and it can only focus on so much at a time

136

and so the second part of that is that

137

when your digestion suffers everything suffers

138

when we think about eating food we want to eat from a position of being very calm

139

and ready to digest if we're mentally in fight

140

or flight mode you're not going to digest your meal well

141

and it's going to lead to some other problems practically what does this mean?

142

If you are distracted with work, I would say, honestly, finish your work and rest for a minute before you focus on eating.

143

Otherwise, if you eat while you're distracted with work, you are not going to have the proper energy to digest.

144

The digestion process is going to be taxed and then it will borrow energy that's supposed to go towards work.

145

So it's really not optimal for either thing.

146

it's better to just wait until you're in a position where you can like rest

147

and take a five -minute lunch break one tip

148

that i like to do every day or

149

so is to eat one meal in slow motion basically challenge myself how slowly can i eat

150

this meal sometimes the act of slowing down is one of the most calming things

151

you can do for your body

152

because you're signaling like yes it's safe enough to slow down

153

we can focus on digesting this meal i also think that being present like that helps to prevent overeating,

154

which can make you feel uncomfortable and tax your digestion in other ways.

155

So what I'm hoping you're getting from this is that TCM is not a punishing,

156

regulating, very strict diet or way to live or anything like that.

157

It's really more of a framework of understanding how to work with your body.

158

It's a much more gentle approach and you don't have to be perfect because once you understand the framework,

159

you know how to adjust to certain situations in your life and actually make things work for you.

160

Number eight is to do a little bit of walking after a meal.

161

This is one of the simplest habits, but it's one of the most effective.

162

Number one, movement helps with processing food and digestion.

163

It's also a relaxing things to do.

164

Being in a relaxed state helps your digestion.

165

But the second one has to do with this idea of chi.

166

And chi is the vital energy inside of your body.

167

You can think of it like a battery

168

that also has like signal right so the battery is the amount of qi

169

that you have

170

and the signal is how much flow

171

it has people can have too little qi people can also have enough qi

172

but it's stuck and not flowing well each of those has their own symptoms

173

and i kind of went into this in my previous video

174

but the idea here is that movement helps qi flow

175

when qi is flowing you feel your best you feel most alive

176

and for me it's the number one reason why I want to move it's

177

because I feel this sensation of like this energy moving through me

178

and it's what motivates me to get out the door in

179

the morning take a little walk at lunch take a little walk in the evening as well

180

I understand we're busy sometimes you may not have time to do like a million walks during the day especially

181

if you're working in office or working long hours

182

but I think you can spare a couple minutes after lunch to go on a little walk,

183

digest your food, help your chi flow before you kind of go back to your desk for the rest of the day.

184

We're going to talk about chi a little bit more in the advanced section,

185

but it is one of my favorite concepts in TCM because it's so simple.

186

It makes so much advice very intuitive because after learning about it for a while, you know how to make your chi flow.

187

You know what it feels like and

188

that becomes your north star rather than chasing like activity goals

189

and calorie goals and like movement goals and things like

190

that it starts to all become very intuitive once you learn how to measure

191

and like feel your own cheat flowing through your body okay

192

number nine is to use heat wisely with foot baths

193

and heating pads so most people only reach for heat

194

when something hurts right muscle ache i'm gonna put on icy hot

195

or a heating pad period cramps is like starting right now

196

so i'm gonna use a heating pad now

197

and i think chinese medicine challenges us to kind of acknowledge where the imbalances before the pain actually starts

198

and tcm heat is very preventative

199

because tcm sees pain sometimes as like a blockage of something

200

so maybe with your period it's a blood stasis

201

or blood is not circulating well or moving well enough

202

and coagulating and causing these painful cramps and so

203

if you have cramps like that it's often recommended to use heating pads not just when the pain hits, but throughout your cycle as well.

204

And it's also recommended to stop drinking ice drinks kind of throughout the whole cycle, not just around the period,

205

because the idea is you need to increase circulation all month long, not just when the pain is hitting you.

206

If your periods are fine, heating pads are also recommended just to have around the abdomen area.

207

It improves circulation.

208

You have a lot of important organs there, digestion -wise, reproduction -wise, vitality wise and

209

so having a little bit of heat there also signals to your body we're well supported we're safe

210

and our organs can kind of do everything

211

that they are trying to do in terms of foot baths this is something i've introduced more recently

212

but again we talked about there being important channels in the feet

213

and so it's important to keep your feet warm

214

but an extra special thing you can do is use foot baths um i know there's companies

215

that make special soaks so special herbs

216

that you can put around your feet

217

this is just a nice thing to do again it signals to your body we are comfortable we are warm

218

and an improved circulation just

219

because of how many energy channels are there in your feet number 10 is leveraging chinese superfoods to make tea

220

so one of my favorite teas that i love to make is a jujube date

221

and goji berry tea

222

so i basically just chop up a few dried jujube dates

223

add them with goji berries boil them in my kettle or boil them on the stove for five to 10 minutes,

224

strain it, and I have a delicious tea.

225

So in TCM, we say jujubes and goji berries are both blood.

226

building so they help you if you have a lot of cramps

227

or fatigue especially around your period because those are signs of having low blood

228

and blood here is blood with a capital b

229

so it's more than just like the red stuff

230

that runs through us keeps us alive it also has qualities of making us feel strong

231

and feel grounded so there's some similarities between iron levels

232

and levels of blood capital b that you have in your system

233

and so it's goji berries and jujube dates are two things that have been used for thousands of years for blood building.

234

So it's a beautiful tea.

235

It turns out to be a nice like reddish color.

236

It tastes amazing.

237

It's like slightly sweet, tiny bit herbal, but really lovely flavor.

238

And I've started to drink this all the time, but definitely in the days leading up to my period and notice a huge reduction in cramps,

239

which is amazing.

240

Okay, now we're moving into the more advanced section.

241

And so this is where Chinese medicine goes from being things

242

that you do and becomes how you think about your life and your wellness so let's go.

243

Number 11 is doing qigong to move your qi.

244

So we talked about qi being the vital energy inside of us

245

and I mentioned how some people they have too little qi so they feel very fatigued and tired all the time.

246

Some people have a lot of qi but it's getting stuck like a car spinning its tires.

247

That's what I have and that's called qi stagnation and in both situations you want to nourish and circulate your qi.

248

So there's many different ways to do this and it's not all medicinal

249

or wellness oriented like i always say spending time with your friends doing things

250

that you love doing things

251

that are authentic to you those are the best ways to move your cheat

252

and i think people find this right like if you're in a job

253

that you hate your cheat is going to be drained from you

254

if you're in a job

255

that you love it kind of circulates your energy makes

256

you feel alive it makes you want more every day same thing with like hanging out with people

257

that you love that circulates your cheap hanging out with people

258

that you don't like so much is one of the biggest strains on your chi out there

259

but we talk about like doing

260

this in a kind of practice way how do we practice moving our chi chi gong

261

and tai chi are the practices for that

262

so i'm gonna link some youtube videos here

263

that you can check out some of my favorite accounts are yoga chi yoga with luchin

264

she is amazing she has so many videos out there

265

and i think she also has a membership where you can go check out more of her videos every time

266

i do chi gong i feel really alive afterwards

267

and it feels really silly to say

268

but i think qigong would not have survived thousands

269

and thousands of years

270

if it didn't do something special for you a lot of issues in chinese medicine come down to this stagnation

271

that stagnation leads to irritability it leads to having a short fuse

272

it can affect your digestion it can affect your sleep

273

and make you wake up during the night

274

and it's important to move your qi both physically

275

and emotionally qigong is a way to gently restore

276

that flow it's kind of a mix of like yoga

277

and dancing it's really beautiful it's really fun it's not intense

278

or extreme but over time it can make a big difference in how you feel

279

so i try to do five minutes every morning i don't do it every day

280

but i aim for like five days a week and even

281

if i wake up feeling good i want to do it

282

because again you moving your chi it's a habit it's not just something

283

that you do

284

when you're in a moment of crisis number 12 is understanding how your chi interacts with your environments

285

this is something that we tend to overlook in the western world

286

but in chinese medicine your health and your environment are deeply intertwined

287

if you're constantly in chaotic stressful environments it will drain your chi

288

if you're constantly in an environment where you feel you have to perform

289

and it's not authentic to you

290

that will drain your chi similarly like we are porous beings and our chi can circulate among other people in our environments.

291

So when you're in environments that you really love, whether it's with people you love, doing things that you love,

292

pay attention to how that feels and understand like, how can I incorporate more of that into my day to day?

293

There's obviously with this, like only so much we can control.

294

Sometimes work is just chaotic.

295

But I think the way to tell is like when you put more energy into your work projects,

296

does it come back to you in the form of new energy

297

and new opportunities or is it constantly just a leak

298

that goes somewhere and doesn't come back to you

299

and again it's one of those things

300

that once you start to become more attuned to it it's very intuitive

301

and easy to understand number 13 is going to acupuncture regularly as maintenance

302

so a lot of people think of acupuncture either as a last resort

303

or something you do once but it's actually most powerful

304

when you can do it consistently because it helps regulate your system over time.

305

So what does acupuncture do?

306

For me, it does two main things.

307

The first is it unblocks areas that have stagnation.

308

There are points in my body where I have noticed the pain

309

or soreness when the needle goes in has decreased tremendously since I've been going more regularly

310

because my chi has been flowing more regularly through those points.

311

The second thing is you enter a parasympathetic state.

312

So just a state of total relaxation.

313

It's almost like force

314

meditation but it's more calming than that

315

if you've never done it i really recommend

316

you reach out to an acupuncturist near you just to experience what it's like

317

but just as like we practice qigong every day to keep our qi flowing

318

we should go to acupuncture regularly as well just because

319

it's a long -term process rather than a quick fix right

320

think about it as keeping something balanced rather than fixing something once

321

so that the advanced tip is to be going regularly but if you're just a beginner,

322

I would say the challenge for you is to go just once and see how you like it.

323

Number 14 is to balance your meals using TCM principles.

324

So a lot of us grew up learning about nutrition in the Western world as calories made up of your macronutrients,

325

carbs, proteins, fats, and while proteins, carbs, fats, fiber, those are very helpful.

326

It's not the full picture.

327

And I really love combining my understanding of macros with traditional

328

Chinese medicine to form a more complete way of looking at food in my body.

329

In Chinese medicine, food has qualities.

330

So it's not just how much energy or calories does it have, but there's a temperature component.

331

So of course, foods can be physically cold or hot, but foods can also be energetically cooling or warming, right?

332

So foods like pears, watermelon, cucumbers, those are energetically cooling foods.

333

Foods like spices, ginger, nuts, those are energetically warming foods.

334

So it's not just about the physical temperature.

335

Foods can also be heavy or light.

336

Some foods can also be drying for your digestion.

337

Some foods can be hydrating for your digestion, right?

338

And so the idea is like not everybody should be eating the same way, which is a super important idea.

339

Let's say I run more dry and constipated.

340

I would want to avoid foods that are too warming and drying, right?

341

So ginger is something that I actually don't use that that much because it's not meant for my pattern.

342

But someone who runs cold and has a lot of fatigue, they might benefit from using some of these more warming ingredients in their diet

343

because they need a little bit more warmth and circulation.

344

So instead of asking like, is this healthy point blank,

345

yes or no, try to break down the qualities of the plate so that they're balanced for your pattern.

346

And so I think this makes sense when you think about someone who's like very cold and depleted. For them,

347

eating cold smoothies raw salads is going to be extra bad

348

for their pattern whereas someone who has a very strong digestive fire

349

and good bowel movements like they can probably get away with it a little bit more right

350

it's just about understanding where you fall on the spectrum where your balance is at

351

and what to do about it it's not about one perfect diet it's about context

352

and what makes most sense for you a tcm doctor can help you learn more

353

and figure out what this diet should look like for you

354

but i think understanding like okay over time

355

you can just research like this food

356

i really like to eat is it warming cooling like what are its energetic properties in tcm

357

and figure out if it's meant for you or not

358

and over time i think

359

it just becomes more intuitive right like for me personally like okay

360

i don't want to have a ton of ginger

361

but i like the flavor of ginger so how do i balance a dish

362

that has ginger with something cooling right so instead of extremes

363

which is really tough for your digestion anyway focus on making sure your digestion is supported in a way

364

that makes sense for your system okay number 15 is to balance your life using the principles of yin

365

and yang so this is really the core principle of everything in chinese medicine

366

and you guys know yin yang very famous symbol

367

but what does it mean yin is the cooling nourishing restorative side yang is the outward fiery movement

368

and momentum side of things and so the idea is

369

that like a balanced life you have both yin and yang

370

but you also have yin in yang and yang in yin

371

so what does that mean

372

and how do you apply it to your life you can start to kind of associate different phases

373

or moments of your day of your month of your year of your life using yin

374

and yang and that will tell you

375

when you need to incorporate more of the other

376

so let's say i'm going to give you some example let's say you're a student in school and from September through June,

377

you are in yang season, right?

378

You're studying like crazy.

379

Maybe you work a job, you're going out with your friends.

380

It's just like nonstop.

381

And then the summer, maybe you're just like chilling at home and it's a very yin period of your life.

382

So, you know, how would a Chinese medicine doctor look at that?

383

They might say like, okay, well, are you getting enough yin during the school period, right?

384

Are you baking in time for a restorative rest, a little bit of meditation, a little bit journaling,

385

some quiet nights in like are you going through it in a way where like you know

386

you're going to make it to the end

387

or in a way that's just like i'm springing to the end

388

and like seeing what i have left there

389

and then they might say like okay and then we look at the summer

390

and you're recharging is it because you're completely burnt out

391

because you haven't you know introduced enough into your life from september through june now you're just kind of like chilling

392

And.. on the couch all day like is there an opportunity to bring more yang into

393

that maybe playing some sports working on a new project

394

or something like that and

395

so the that's a sample idea of like a very specific one

396

but i think for people that are working a ton

397

and living very yang lifestyles like let's say you live in a city

398

and you're working all the time you go to these intense workout classes

399

and you're going out with your friends

400

and you're traveling a bunch like that's a very yang lifestyle

401

how do you just find moments of yin throughout the days

402

and the weeks and the months maybe it's meditation journaling

403

and qigong in the morning maybe it's like a quiet night in again maybe it's taking a short trip

404

if you can just to like really restore and the idea is

405

that like someone who's all yang is going to burn out at some point you just can't make it past like

406

five ten years or so and

407

if you're serious about your career making it further than

408

that should be important to you and

409

so the idea is like the best way to endure that

410

and be a good performer forever is balancing yin and yang throughout.

411

And just to say that building in more yin can be really simple.

412

Maybe it's just putting your phone away 30 minutes earlier before you go to bed

413

and reading a book instead of like doom scrolling until you fall asleep.

414

Maybe it's just dimming your lights at night to signal to your body like, okay, I'm winding down, it's time for bed soon.

415

It's not realistic to completely eliminate stress or like hardcore activity, but we just wanna be able to signal to our bodies

416

that both sides of this exist and that there will always be a little bit of rest amongst the output.

417

Okay, well thank you so much for making to the end of this video.

418

I'm so curious which of these 15 tips you're most excited to implement and which you're maybe a little bit nervous about.

419

Let me know in the comments if you have any questions.

420

Let me just say that the goal of this is not to do all 15 things perfectly every day.

421

It's just to start understanding a different framework of wellness that's actually going to take care of you

422

and improve your relationship with your body.

423

Your body is always communicating with you.

424

Traditional Chinese medicine just gives you a way of understanding what it is saying and how to respond to it appropriately.

425

So if you're completely new, start small, try a few things, see how you feel, and then when you're ready, come back for more.

426

I'm super excited to be filming more YouTube videos this spring and summer, so if you like this video, definitely leave a like if you can.

427

Leave a comment with what you're working on and which habit you're most excited about.

428

429

I post essays on my sub stack, so you can find me anywhere where you like to keep up with people.

430

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

Der Sprecher verwendet 106 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel you're, I'm, we're. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

Die „th“-Laute: bath /bɑːθ/, authentic /ɔˈθɛn.tɪk/, throat /ˈθɹoʊt/, smoothie /ˈsmuːði/
Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: circulation /ˌsɝkjʊˈleɪʃən/, meditation /mɛdɪˈteɪʃn̩/, associate /əˈsoʊʃi.ət/, reduction /ɹɪˈdʌk.ʃən/, delicious /dɪˈlɪ.ʃəs/
Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: circulation /ˌsɝkjʊˈleɪʃən/, intuitive /ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv/, intermediate /ɪn.tə(ɹ)ˈmi.di.ət/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, eliminate /ɪˈlɪm.ɪ.neɪt/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

/w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): framework /ˈfɹeɪm.wɜːk/, wellness /ˈwɛl.nɪs/, afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, whereas /(h)wɛɹˈæz/, awareness /əˈwɛɹ.nəs/
Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: salad /ˈsæl.əd/, fatigue /fəˈtiːɡ/, intuitive /ɪnˈtjuːɪtɪv/, afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, pad /pæd/
/æ/ — offener als „ä“: yang /ˈjæŋ/, salad /ˈsæl.əd/, afterwards /ˈæf.tɚ.wɚdz/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, pad /pæd/

So übst du mit diesem Video

Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie yang, digest, meal.

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.
