Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English.
2
I'm Alice.
3
And I'm Neil.
4
OK, Alice, I've got something for you here.
5
Question?
6
Yeah?
7
You ready?
8
What is the Mexican version of Juan Direction?
9
Oh, erm...
10
No idea.
11
Juan Direction.
12
Oh...
13
Get it?
14
Very good.
15
Juan Direction, you know?
16
Yes, yes, I get it.
17
Never mind.
18
Can you guess what the subject of today's show is instead?
19
Is it bad jokes?
20
Oh come on, that was a good little gag!
21
Yes, the subject of today's show is what makes us laugh.
22
And in this context, to get something,
23
for example a gag or joke, means to understand it.
24
We all like to laugh – well,
25
not you Alice apparently, but most of us do.
26
It's good for our health.
27
It reduces stress and releases feel-good hormones in the body.
28
OK.
29
Thank you, Neil.
30
But how about answering today's quiz question?
31
Which Greek word means the study of laughter and its effects on the body? Is it...
32
A. Rhizology B.
33
Gelatology Or C.
34
Comology Hmm.
35
That's difficult.
36
and I'm going to say C,
37
comology, because it's got the word comedy in it, you see.
38
Oh, very good.
39
OK, well, we'll find out later if you're right.
40
Now, did you know we rarely laugh when we're on our own?
41
Laughter is a social thing that we generally like to share with other people.
42
Really?
43
I laugh when I'm watching cartoons on my own, don't you, Alice?
44
No, Neil, I don't.
45
Anyway, some researchers believe that the purpose of laughter is related to the way we bond with each other.
46
And the more we laugh,
47
the more we bond as a group.
48
Hmm, interesting idea.
49
It could explain why stand-up comedy,
50
where a comedian performs in front of and talks directly to their audience,
51
is very popular entertainment.
52
But what does it take to keep your audience laughing?
53
Let's listen to Steve Byrne,
54
a successful US comedian, talking about this.
55
The one single thing an aspiring comedian should do is to write,
56
write, write, and talk about the things that make them laugh,
57
It's time to be selfish.
58
It's time to be a little narcissistic.
59
What is it that makes you laugh?
60
Because that will get you closer to finding your voice,
61
because ultimately that's why people will come see you.
62
So, comedians need to be selfish and narcissistic.
63
That sounds pretty negative.
64
Yes, it does.
65
Narcissistic means being too interested in yourself,
66
for example, your appearance or other personal qualities.
67
And aspiring means wanting to be successful in your chosen career.
68
And what does Steve mean when he says comedians need to find their voice?
69
Well, he means they need to talk about what they think in a way that's unique,
70
meaning unusual or special to them.
71
OK, let's listen to Steve again,
72
talking about turning 40 and what he finds funny about that.
73
When you turn 40, you will hear this in your life and hopefully you'll hear it the rest of your life.
74
You look good for 40.
75
You look good for 52.
76
You look great for 63.
77
You never hear that when you're young.
78
You look good for 19.
79
You think there's going to be some secret potion or some magic shortcut to it all.
80
It's writing and getting up on stage.
81
It takes a lot of perseverance and it's such a competitive occupation,
82
you know, you just got to outwork everybody.
83
Well, we heard Steve making his audience laugh there and,
84
by the way Alice, you look fantastic for 40.
85
That's not funny, Neil.
86
I'm only 39 and you know it.
87
Anyway, moving on.
88
Steve says there's no magic potion or shortcut to success.
89
You have to work hard.
90
It doesn't happen by itself.
91
And perseverance means to keep on trying to achieve something even when it's difficult.
92
He says you have to outwork everybody,
93
which means to work harder than everybody else.
94
Steve certainly doesn't make comedy sound much fun, does he?
95
No. In fact, some people say there's a connection between depression and comedy,
96
that comedians can be introverted and depressive.
97
Is that right?
98
Introverts are generally quiet people who are more interested in their own thoughts and feelings than in spending time with other people.
99
Yes, you'd think that most comedians would be extroverts – people who are lively and enjoy the company of others.
100
OK, I think it's time for the answer to our quiz question, Neil.
101
I asked, which Greek word means the study of laughter and its effects on the body?
102
Is it a rhizology, b gelatology or c comology?
103
Yes, I said c comology which I think I'm beginning to regret now.
104
Yes, well indeed, sorry I'm afraid that's the wrong answer.
105
It's actually b gelatology which comes from the Greek word gelos meaning laughter.
106
You can stop sniggering now,
107
Alice, and just tell us today's words once again.
108
Alright then, here they are.
109
Get something.
110
For example, a joke.
111
Gag.
112
Stand-up comedy.
113
Narcissistic.
114
Aspiring.
115
Unique.
116
Perseverance.
117
Outwork.
118
introverts, extroverts.
119
Well, that just about brings us to the end of today's 6 Minute English.
120
See you next time.
121
Goodbye.

Praxis-Tipps

Um wirklich vom Lernen durch dieses Video zu profitieren, achten Sie darauf, die shadow speak-Technik anzuwenden. Shadowing ist eine effektive Methode, um Aussprache und Intonation zu verbessern. Hören Sie sich die Abschnitte des Videos mehrmals an und versuchen Sie, die Sätze synchron zu wiederholen. Achten Sie dabei besonders auf den natürlichen Flow des gesprochenen Englisch. Da das Video in einem relativ angenehmen Tempo gehalten ist, haben Sie genügend Zeit, um mitzusprechen.

Versuchen Sie, die Muße zu finden und konzentrieren Sie sich auf den Humor im Dialog. Lachen und die Reaktionen der Lernenden sind Schlüsselkomponenten, die helfen, das Gelernte zu verankern. Nutzen Sie diese Gelegenheit, um nicht nur die Worte nachzusprechen, sondern auch die Emotionen und den Tonfall, um Ihr shadowspeak zu verbessern. Je mehr Sie üben, desto sicherer werden Sie im Englischen und können Ihre Sprechfähigkeiten weiterentwickeln.

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.
