Hello and welcome to British Accent Shadowing.
2
I'm Ashley Howard, a UK voice coach, and among many things, I help people with pronunciation, intonation and accent.
3
Today, we're working with an extract from Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, a classic of English literature,
4
known for its precision, subtle humour and social insight.
5
This passage sits at around C1 to C2 level, meaning the language is advanced,
6
with longer sentence structures and nuanced meaning.
7
It's ideal for developing a natural British accent,
8
improving connected speech, and refining your sense of intonation, phrasing, and expressive delivery.
9
I'll read the passage once at natural pace, then we'll go through it line by line so you can shadow and repeat after me,
10
helping you build clarity, rhythm and confidence in your spoken English.
11
You can also download the free PDF of today's passage with vocabulary notes using the link in the description below.
12
Let's begin.
13
About thirty years ago, Miss Maria Ward of Huntingdon, with only 7 ,000 pounds,
14
had the good luck to captivate Sir Thomas Bertram of Mansfield Park in the county of Northampton,
15
and to be thereby raised to the rank of a Baronet's Lady with all the comforts
16
and consequences of a handsome house and large income.
17
All Huntingdon exclaimed on the greatness of the match, and her uncle, the lawyer himself,
18
allowed her to be at least three thousand pounds short of any equitable claim to it.
19
She had two sisters to be benefited by her elevation, and such of their acquaintance,
20
as thought Miss Ward and Miss Francis quite as handsome as Miss Maria, did not scruple to predict their marrying with almost equal advantage.
21
but there certainly are not so many men of large fortune in the world as there are pretty women to deserve them.
22
Miss Ward, at the end of half a dozen years, found herself obliged to be attached to the Reverend Mr Norris,
23
a friend of her brother -in -law, with scarcely any private fortune, and Miss Frances fared yet worse.
ein Freund ihres Schwagers, der kaum über ein eigenes Vermögen verfügte, und Miss Frances erging es noch schlechter.
24
Miss Ward's match, indeed, when it came to the point, was not contemptible.
Miss Wards Partie war, als es darauf ankam, in der Tat nicht verächtlich.
25
Sir Thomas being happily able to give his friend an income in the living of Mansfield,
Sir Thomas war glücklicherweise in der Lage, seinem Freund ein Einkommen aus der Pfarrei von Mansfield zu verschaffen,
26
and Mr. and Mrs. Norris began their career of conjugal felicity with very little less than a thousand a year.
und Herr und Frau Norris begannen ihre Karriere der ehelichen Glückseligkeit mit kaum weniger als tausend Pfund im Jahr.
27
But Mrs Frances married, in the common phrase, to disoblige her family and by fixing on a lieutenant of marines,
Aber Mrs. Frances heiratete, wie man im Volksmund sagt, um ihre Familie zu brüskieren, indem sie sich für einen Leutnant der Marineinfanterie entschied,
28
without education, fortune or connections, did it very thoroughly.
ohne Bildung, Vermögen oder Verbindungen, hat er es sehr gründlich geschafft.
29
She could hardly have made a more untoward choice.
Sie hätte kaum eine unglücklichere Wahl treffen können.
30
Sir Thomas Bertram had interest, which, from principle as well as pride,
Sir Thomas Bertram hatte Einfluss, den er sowohl aus Prinzip als auch aus Stolz
31
from a general wish of doing right and a desire of seeing all that were connected with him in situations of respectability,
aus einem allgemeinen Wunsch, das Richtige zu tun, und dem Bestreben, alle, die mit ihm verbunden waren, in einer angesehenen Stellung zu sehen,
32
he would have been glad to exert for the advantage of Lady Bertram's sister.
er wäre froh gewesen, sich für die Schwester von Lady Bertram einzusetzen.
33
time to devise any other method of assisting them, an absolute breach between the sisters had taken place.
Zeit, irgendeine andere Methode zu ersinnen, ihnen zu helfen, war ein endgültiger Bruch zwischen den Schwestern bereits eingetreten.
34
It was the natural result of the conduct of each party, and such as a very imprudent marriage almost always produces.
Es war das natürliche Ergebnis des Verhaltens jeder Partei, wie es eine sehr unüberlegte Ehe fast immer hervorbringt.
35
To save herself from useless remonstrance, Mrs Price never wrote to her family on the subject till actually married.
Um sich nutzlosen Vorhaltungen zu ersparen, schrieb Mrs. Price ihrer Familie zu diesem Thema erst, als sie tatsächlich verheiratet war.
36
Lady Bertram, who was a woman of very tranquil feelings, and a temper remarkably easy and indolent,
Lady Bertram, eine Frau von sehr ruhigen Gefühlen und einem bemerkenswert leichten, trägen Temperament,
37
would have contented herself with merely giving up her sister and thinking no more of the matter,
38
But Mrs Norris had a spirit of activity, which could not be satisfied till she had written a long and angry letter to Fanny,
39
to point out the folly of her conduct, and threaten her with all its possible ill consequences.
40
Mrs Price, in her turn, was injured and angry and an answer which comprehended each sister in its bitterness,
41
and bestowed such very disrespectful reflections on the pride of Sir Thomas, as Mrs Norris could not possibly keep to herself,
42
put an end to all intercourse between them for a considerable period.
43
Now copy after me.

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.
