Shadowing-Übung: 3 Practical Tips to Enjoy Learning English - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Do you think you need to live in an English-speaking country to get fluent?
2
No, I have a friend who lives in England and she's still not fluent.
3
Why is that?
4
Before I answer, I have a challenge for you.
5
There's a secret word on this card.
6
Can you try to figure out what it is before the end of the video?
7
If you can, you will understand one of the most important ideas for becoming fluent in English.
8
So, shall we explore Kuala Lumpur?
9
Everything around you is English, if you choose to see it that way.
10
And the way I do it is simple.
11
Name it, describe it.
12
Two questions.
13
What is it and how would I describe it in one sentence?
14
For example, instead of just remembering vocabulary like digital billboard, you would name it and describe it.
15
So, this is a digital billboard, and it's showing an advert for Malaysia.
16
The advert is showing fish underwater.
17
I actually have a little rule.
18
A word isn't really yours until you can use it.
19
So, let's do some more examples together now.
20
Up there is a skyscraper and it's enormous.
21
At the top of the skyscraper there are twinkling lights.
22
This is a traffic jam.
23
It's a busy Saturday night in Kuala Lumpur
24
and there are many cars on the roads roads which is causing a traffic jam.
25
This is a fountain.
26
Water is spurting out every side of the fountain.
27
These are mannequins.
28
The mannequins are standing in the shop window staring into space.
29
I wonder what they're thinking.
30
So now guys, we are walking down the road, an area in Kuala Lumpur, famous for its beautiful streets,
31
beautiful restaurants, and apparently a very nice view of the Patronus Twin Towers, which we're going to look for.
32
But first, look at this.
33
There's a cat asleep.
34
The cat is sleeping on the floor.
35
It looks dead.
36
That's one way of describing it.
37
Another way of describing it could be the cat has a spotty brown back.
38
One more way of describing this could be I love cats
39
because they remind me of my four black cats when I grew up as a kid.
40
So there I described the cat in three ways, three different simple sentences.
41
The first way was slightly humorous, I compared the cat being asleep to being dead.
42
The second way was describing its physical characteristics, the brown spots on his back, and the third way
43
that I described a cat was linking it to how I feel about cats
44
and what I think about cats
45
and that's a wonderful tip for any of you guys out there linking your English sentences to your thoughts
46
and your feelings when you can do that then you can share your ideas when you can share your ideas then
47
you're one step closer to fluency.
48
So this is a shop and the shop is called Vitra.
49
If I were to describe this scene in one simple sentence
50
I would say there are many colorful lamps on display in the shop window.
51
I could also say I want to buy that orange lamp because I think that would look wonderful in my My home.
52
All right, let's keep going.
53
Hey, look at that, Chang.
54
We found it.
55
What have we found?
56
We have found the Patronus Twin Towers.
57
These famous towers are one of the most popular landmarks in Malaysia.
58
And Chang is getting a photo of me.
59
No, she's not.
60
Yes, she is.
61
This is for next week's video, guys.
62
I'm waving.
63
Posing for a photo.
64
She's taking a picture of my ugly mug.
65
We've just left the busy area to come chill at this cafe to rest our little legs and get a drink.
66
I hope by now that you have internalized this simple exercise of name it,
67
describe it, and I would encourage you to use it.
68
actually the idea behind the vocabulary feature on Sprouts.
69
You are given a word and then you are encouraged to use it in a sentence.
70
That is how a word becomes part of the way you speak.
71
Now it's getting late so after we have these drinks we're gonna head back to the hotel
72
because tomorrow is an exciting day.
73
we're gonna go to the bookshop and there's something I want to show you.
74
I love mornings like this.
75
They slow everything down.
76
They remind us that big changes are built slowly from small habits we make every day.
77
Learning English is the same.
78
One of the biggest myths is that you have to move abroad to become fluent.
79
But I don't believe that's true.
80
The secret is much simpler than that.
81
Well guys, we've arrived in the largest bookshop in South East Asia.
82
There are over one million books in this bookshop.
83
That's a lot of books.
84
Now let's break down the anatomy of a book.
85
So just like the anatomy of the human body, a book has a spine.
86
Just like the spine that we saw on the whale on the way into this bookshop.
87
This part here is the spine.
88
It has a front cover with an illustration on and a back cover.
89
On the back cover, we have writing and that's called a blurb.
90
The blurb is a small piece of writing that tells you about the book.
91
So if you love to read, you really like reading, you can say I'm a bookworm.
92
But not many people know the alternative to that, which is an avid reader.
93
An avid reader is also somebody who loves books, but it's a lot more common in the UK.
94
Are you an avid reader?
95
So right now I am browsing these books, which means I'm looking at them and I'm trying to find one to buy.
96
Now I'm browsing in the non-fiction section and non-fiction is books about facts and information,
97
unlike fiction, which is story and imagination.
98
Now within fiction and non-fiction, you have different genres.
99
This comes from the French genre, and in non-fiction you have genres such as business and economics,
100
you have psychology, biographies, and a personal favourite, self-help.
101
In fiction, you have genres such as science fiction and fantasy, or crime, thriller, and mystery.
102
For me, I prefer the non-fiction genre.
103
Ah, nice.
104
This is a book on curiosity, and I'm a very curious person.
105
I like to ask questions, both to myself and to other people.
106
Speaking of asking questions, a wonderful small talk question
107
that you can use with other people to have engaging conversations is ask them what is your favourite genre?
108
Now you can use this for books, films or music.
109
What's your favourite genre of book?
110
What's your favourite genre of movie?
111
What's your favourite genre of music?
112
I think I'll get this.
113
One thing that you might not know about me is that I love to write and illustrate picture books.
114
So it's my dream in the future to publish my very own children's books.
115
What is your dream?
116
Being in a place like this always makes me think about what to read.
117
And people ask me that a lot.
118
What should I read in English?
119
My answer is always the same.
120
Read because you enjoy the topic, not because you're learning English.
121
I love self-improvement books because they challenge the way that I see myself.
122
One book that really changed my life was the book called Breaking the Habits of Being Yourself by Joe Dispenza.
123
And I read that book when I was living in Spain.
124
I actually read that book in Spanish.
125
It's about how your personality isn't fixed.
126
It's not rigid.
127
you can actually rewire who you are through changing the way you think, how you feel and how you act.
128
Now I didn't read that book to improve my Spanish, I read it because I enjoyed the topic.
129
I loved the topic of neuroscience and that's what I was fascinated in at the time.
130
When I was reading that book, I felt like I became someone new.
131
If your English isn't ready for something like that yet, then you can take a smaller step.
132
You can start with something shorter, more simple, and something that you already enjoy.
133
So you could read articles about things you're interested in, or simple short stories if you enjoy fiction books.
134
As your English grows, you work your way up the ladder.
135
You become better through reading what you enjoy.
136
If you're just starting out, I would recommend The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstone.
137
That's a great book.
138
I'd also recommend the author Roald Dahl.
139
Now, a lot of people think Roald Dahl is a children's book, author, but actually a lot of adults enjoy his books too.
140
The humour is slightly dark, pretty clever, and there's always something underneath the story,
141
some hidden message or hidden meaning.
142
My mum's favourite book is The SEO Trot,
143
which is a book by Roald Dahl about a who wins a woman's love through making her tortoise bigger.
144
My mum always laughs when I mention that book and when we talk about it.
145
OK, guys, the food has just arrived.
146
So we're about to dig in.
147
We're about to begin eating.
148
Let's go.
149
We have arrived at the Batu Caves, which are 400 million year old limestone mountains.
150
And behind me, there are rainbow steps, around 272 rainbow steps, which we are going to climb.
151
But before we do, I want to share the last simple speaking habits
152
that you can adopt to bring English into your everyday life.
153
And that habit is to speak with the five senses.
154
Ask yourself, what can I see?
155
What can I hear?
156
What can I smell?
157
What can I taste?
158
and what can I feel?
159
I can see a flock of pigeons on the ground
160
and I can hear their wings flapping as the tourist runs through them, waving her arms.
161
Before we go up there,
162
we're gonna hydrate it's very hot very thirsty how do you feel do you feel ready to go those stairs
163
that pause tells me no right ready
164
here we go so guys a word here this is very steep these stairs are very steep
165
and there are monkeys feeding on the stairs.
166
Look at that, there's a tiny baby monkey on the handrail at the side.
167
Very cute.
168
In front of me there's a monkey sitting in a funny position with its hands flopping in front of it.
169
I can hear it chewing on something.
170
Maybe it's nuts, maybe it's fruit, maybe it's chocolate.
171
I can feel my legs burning as I walk up the steps.
172
Nice skirts.
173
Almost there.
174
Nearly at the top.
175
Alright, a few more to go.
176
Slightly out of breath.
177
Out of breath means I'm panting, like a dog. But...
178
Ah, made it.
179
Feeling accomplished.
180
So, we just arrived to the top, and I want to hit the next few senses.
181
So, first of all, I can feel a drop of water on my shoulder.
182
It's wet.
183
I can...
184
Mmm.
185
Taste this dairy milk ice cream.
186
I can taste the smooth chocolate,
187
the crunchy hazelnuts and it is spot on.
188
Spot on is a very British phrase for it tastes really good.
189
I can smell the dampness of the cave.
190
Let's go inside.
191
I can hear the silence of the cave.
192
Here I can see the little girl trying to blow out the candle, and the parent ushered her away.
193
Right, now we're heading into the main cave, and this is unreal.
194
So guys, with the five senses method, you can do this anywhere.
195
You can do it while you're out and about, like me, or you can wait till you get back home
196
and describe your day using the five senses method or if you prefer to speak with someone
197
i'm out of breath you can talk to j.i and simply describe what you see hear and feel around you
198
he will listen ask you questions and give you feedback afterwards
199
At the beginning of this video, I said that you don't need to live in an English-speaking country to get fluent.
200
You just need to recreate that environment yourself.
201
And that environment has a name.
202
The name is immersion.
203
Immersion means to be completely absorbed in something.
204
And that is what you have been doing today.
205
Walking around the city, reading books that you enjoy, and describing the world through your five senses.
206
That's also why Chang's friends moved to England and still isn't fluent.
207
Location doesn't create immersion.
208
You do.
209
Fluency isn't about where you live.
210
It's about how much of your life you choose to live in English.
211
So, what will you choose?

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.
