Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Hello everyone, my name is Dylan and welcome to another interactive speaking exercise.
2
So today we are going to be using the shadowing technique to help improve your British English speaking
3
and pronunciation whilst helping you to train your modern RP British accent.
4
Brilliant.
5
So how does it work?
6
Well, I will start by telling you a completely true story about the time I was robbed by a gang of ducks.
7
Yeah so I'll tell you this same story three times.
8
For the first time all you need to do is sit back listen and enjoy.
9
For the second time you will listen again but after each sentence you will repeat what I have just said.
10
Now for this part it's important to try and copy my voice exactly.
11
It's the small details you need to focus on in order to really improve your British English accent and speaking abilities.
12
Finally for the third part we will actually be reading the story together at the same time
13
and this is the shadowing technique.
14
Now it is a bit of a challenge however
15
if you can do this it means
16
that you are able to perfectly imitate a natural British speaker
17
which of course means that you are also speaking in a natural British accent.
18
So feel free to repeat steps two
19
and three as many times as you need to before moving on And there's no rush.
20
Don't worry
21
if you make any mistakes I'm not going to send a duck over to your house to eat you
22
or something like that No, this is just a chance for us to have a bit of fun
23
And for you to develop your speaking skills and your accent as well So enjoy the video and good luck Sorry guys,
24
I forgot to mention but I have also made a completely free PDF to go with this lesson.
25
So it includes the full story, loads of pronunciation tips, the phonetics for each word, where the schwa's are, what the linking patterns are,
26
plus a breakdown of all the vocabulary and expressions that I used.
27
It's actually a really good PDF to be honest and it will massively help you to sound so much more British.
28
The link to that is in the top comment.
29
It's completely free, all you need to do is hit the link, enter your email and I will instantly send it to you.
30
You will then also be signed up to my hilarious weekly Tuesday newsletter
31
and I will even send you a bonus video as a thank you.
32
Right, enjoy the story.
33
Let me tell you a crazy story.
34
My tale began on a Saturday morning in England.
35
The sun was shining and I was in the mood to go on an adventure.
36
So I showered up, got changed, and headed out to my local park.
37
Upon arrival, I couldn't help but appreciate how peaceful this place was.
38
Everything felt so nice and calm and relaxed.
39
Well, that was until the once perfect silence was smashed by a deafening scream.
40
As adrenaline surged through my body, I ran towards the noise to investigate.
41
I whipped out my trusty binoculars and started searching for clues.
42
And after just 10 seconds I spotted something extremely alarming in the distance.
43
That must have been what caused the scream, I thought to myself.
44
Wasting no time I dropped my binoculars and started sprinting towards my discovery.
45
I was nearly there when suddenly I hit the floor and everything went black.
46
Someone or something had tripped me up.
47
Once I eventually regained consciousness, I saw them for the first time.
48
The beasts that had caused the scream.
49
As they loomed over me, I could see the menace in their eyes.
50
These were not friendly ducks.
51
These were criminal ducks.
52
The next thing I knew, the two thugs were going into my pockets, robbing me of everything I had.
53
After successfully stealing my phone, laptop, wallet, passport and dignity, they started waddling off to freedom.
54
They were far too fast for me to chase, so I had to let them go.
55
And that's the story of how I was robbed by a gang of ducks.
56
Honestly, that story took a lot of courage for me to tell.
57
Anyway, time to move on to part two.
58
Here I will read the story again, but after each sentence you just need to repeat what I have just said.
59
Now for this section it's really important to try and copy exactly how I say it.
60
you wish to really train your modern RP British accent.
61
As I've said many times before, an accent is like a song and it's important to hit the right notes.
62
Now feel free to do this section as many times as you need to, just until you feel confident that you sound exactly like I do.
63
There's no rush and you can also play it at a slower speed if it helps.
64
Good Good luck!
65

91

Kontext und Hintergrund

In dem Video geht es um ein interaktives Übungsprogramm zur Verbesserung des britischen Englischs, speziell des modernen RP-Akzents, mithilfe der Shadowing-Technik. Der Sprecher erzählt eine unterhaltsame Geschichte über eine Begegnung mit Enten, die dreimal wiederholt wird – je nach Wiederholungsschritt mit unterschiedlichen Aufgaben: Zuhören, nachsprechen und simultanes Sprechen. Zusätzlich gibt es ein kostenloses PDF mit Transkript, Aussprachetipps, Phonetik und Vokabular, das Lernende bei der praktischen Anwendung unterstützt. Diese Methode kombiniert Spaß mit effektivem Lernen und eignet sich ideal für alle, die ihren britischen Akzent verfeinern oder ihr Sprechen flüssiger machen wollen.

Top 5 Sätze für den täglichen Sprachgebrauch

  • "I was in the mood to go on an adventure." – Perfekt für die Beschreibung von Stimmungen und Plänen.
  • "Upon arrival, I couldn't help but appreciate how peaceful this place was." – Gibt Auskunft über erste Eindrücke in neuen Umgebungen.
  • "The once perfect silence was smashed by a deafening scream." – Ein dramatischer Satz, um plötzliche Ereignisse zu beschreiben.
  • "I whipped out my trusty binoculars and started searching for clues." – Zeigt Handlungen in stressigen Situationen.
  • "These were not friendly ducks." – Ein einfacher, aber effektiver Satz, um Enttäuschungen oder Überraschungen auszudrücken.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung

Um die Shadowing-Technik in diesem Video erfolgreich anzuwenden, folge diesen Schritten: 1. Zuhören und absorbieren: Höre dir die Geschichte zum ersten Mal ganz entspannt an, um den Kontext und den Rhythmus zu verstehen. 2. Nachsprechen: Bei der zweiten Wiedergabe wiederhole jeden Satz direkt nach dem Sprecher – konzentriere dich auf Intonation, Betonung und kleine Akzentdetails. 3. Simultanes Sprechen (Shadowspeak): Bei der dritten Runde sprich gleichzeitig mit dem Sprecher. Das ist eine Herausforderung, aber es trainiert deine Fähigkeit, natürliche Sprachmuster zu imitieren. Wiederhole Schritte 2 und 3 so oft, bis du sicher bist. Nutze das kostenlose PDF, um unklare Wörter oder Aussprachen zu klären. Mit "Englisch Shadowing" lernst du nicht nur, einen britischen Akzent zu entwickeln, sondern auch flüssiger zu sprechen – und das alles mit Spaß an der Geschichte. Diese Methode ist ein bewährter Trick, um dein Englisch mit Videos zu verbessern und dich auf alltägliche Kommunikation vorzubereiten.

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.
