Shadowing-Übung: Can 2 Strangers Fall in Love with 36 Questions? Dani + Andrew - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Are you totally nervous too?

Oh yeah.

I'm like dying right now.

A viral New York Times article featured 36 questions that could supposedly make any two people fall in love.

We wanted to see what would happen if we asked these questions to two complete strangers on a blind date.

I'm Dani.

I am single.

I've never really been in a relationship, but what I'm looking for in a person, I don't know, just fun.

I'm really scared actually.

But like excited, nervous.

Hopefully my hands don't sweat or something.

Hi!

I'm Danny.

Andrew.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Andrew.

Right now I'm just trying to meet people

and have a general idea of what type of person I would like to meet, to meet but not trying to put on any blinders.

What kind of tea do you like?

I don't know.

Um, peppermint.

Yeah, I like peppermint.

You good with peppermint?

That's peppermint.

This is fun.

Are you excited?

I'm excited and nervous.

Yeah, me too.

Would you like to be famous?

And in what way?

No. No?

Never.

Really?

No, I don't think so.

I feel like that would be so much pressure to have, to be something for everyone.

I just think you'd have to be something for everyone. Would you?

No, not really.

I mean, I wouldn't.

Or I wouldn't feel like obligated to be famous for.

Like, what would you be famous for?

Oh, I don't know.

I guess be famous for myself or be famous for something I've done that brought value.

Like a famous singer?

I mean, it'd be cool to be talented like that.

Yeah, right.

But, no, I wouldn't want to change for people.

I feel like obligated to be who they wanted me to be.

If they like you, they like you.

If they don't, they don't.

Yeah, I get that.

Do you want some tea?

Yeah, that'd be great.

Is it like...

Hopefully that's steeped enough.

I don't know if it is.

Does it taste peppermint-y at all?

Or is it just straight water?

No, it's just really nice warm water.

Do you want to pour it back in?

Or is that weird? Is that?

I don't think so.

It's gonna go all over the place.

Just do it.

Are you totally nervous too?

Oh yeah.

I'm like dying right now.

It's okay.

Okay, if a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future, or anything else.

What would you want to know?

What would I want to know?

I would want to know who and when I, like, get married.

Really?

Yeah.

You would want to know that?

Yeah.

That's cool.

What about you?

What would you want to know?

I don't know that I would want to know anything.

Really?

Nothing?

Yeah, I like just being surprised by life and I wouldn't want to know when I was going to die.

I get like some people can sometimes, like if you know you're going to die, like you can really truly live because you know you've got like limited time,

but I'm not sure I would choose that.

I think it would change too much how I would live.

Like you wouldn't really live, you would be so focused on like getting things done before.

Yeah.

Is it my turn?

Alright, I'm gonna find a good one.

I'm gonna attempt at doing this again, we'll see.

Ooh!

There we go.

Crushed it.

I like your little sayings.

Crushed it, sick.

Do I do that?

100

It's really cool.

101

It's very San Diego.

102

Cheers.

103

Oh, yay.

104

What roles do love and affection play in your life?

105

Oh, gosh.

106

Yeah.

107

Hmm.

108

I think I get a lot of love and affection from, like, my family and, like, close friends, so, I don't know.

109

That's like a weird question to ask.

110

That's a weird question.

111

Like, what roles do they play?

112

Like a big one?

113

I guess for me, because, like, right now I'm so new to LA, like, I don't have anybody here yet.

114

You will.

115

I know I will, but, like...

116

I don't open up easy.

117

No?

118

Like it's hard for me to get to know people.

119

Like I get to know people really well and quickly, but it's hard for me to really get to know people.

120

Yeah, like it takes a while.

121

Exactly.

122

Yeah, I get that.

123

And I work all the time.

124

So right now it's...

125

What do you do?

126

I'm a personal trainer.

127

I work in Beverly Hills as a personal trainer.

128

Oh, that's fun.

129

Getting people to the point of where like they fall in love with themselves, that's better than Mindy Desk job.

130

That's awesome.

131

That's really cool that like you're finding fulfillment in that too.

132

Yeah.

133

Because like not a lot of people get to do that, you know?

134

Yeah, find fulfillment in their jobs.

135

And I'm young enough to where I can figure it out.

136

Yeah, totally.

137

What was the question?

138

I don't remember.

139

Complete this sentence.

140

I wish I had someone with whom I could share blank.

141

Probably just my life with.

142

It's like somebody that is always there for you.

143

And you can come home if you've had a bad day at work.

144

And be like, this thing happened.

145

And they just kind of are there for you.

146

Like the good and the bad things.

147

I like that.

148

Like, yeah.

149

What about you?

150

My cooking.

151

Really?

152

Oh my god, you cook?

153

I'm a huge cook.

154

I cook all the time.

155

What's your favorite food?

156

Chicken paprikash.

157

That's a Hungarian dish, I guess.

158

Are you a Hungarian?

159

My dad's family was, yeah.

160

But it's like a chicken and like a paprika gravy.

161

I love paprika.

162

It's so good, yeah.

163

I'm gonna have to figure it out.

164

I can make it for you sometime.

165

I'll be down, let's do it.

166

Let's do a cook-off.

167

We should.

168

That would be fun.

169

That would be a blast.

170

Tell your partner something you like about them already.

171

I feel like you have a very calming presence, and I really enjoy that, where it's like I'm not as stressed.

172

That's good.

173

Yeah.

174

I'm super nervous.

175

Really?

176

It gets more calming.

177

It doesn't really come off.

178

Really?

179

Yeah.

180

I feel like my face is seizing up because I'm so nervous.

181

Really?

182

No. You seem very chill, and I like that.

183

I was gonna say, you seem very relaxed and easy going, which is not something I've run into in LA at all.

184

Really?

185

After the first couple weeks, I was like, not gonna meet anybody here.

186

It's gonna be hard.

187

Yeah.

188

You're very genuine.

189

Me?

190

That's what it is.

191

Okay.

192

It's genuine.

193

It was like this nice, really, I don't know, real, which is so hard, because I feel like LA is a city that worships everything and values nothing.

194

Nothing, yeah.

195

Oh gosh, final task without speaking, stare into each other's eyes for four minutes?

196

Four minutes?

197

That's a long time.

198

Oh my gosh.

199

I could look at you for four minutes.

200

Pretty easily.

201

We can't talk while you're looking at each other for four minutes?

202

It's a challenge.

203

I'm always down for a challenge.

204

Oh my god.

205

Andrew, I don't think anybody's ever looked at me for four minutes.

206

I was

207

definitely really, really, really, really, really, really nervous and I got a lot less I was nervous and it was very different than I expected.

208

She was really cool.

209

She's like super pretty.

210

I feel like a lot of it was, I was like wow this guy's really attractive, sweet, down-to-earth, just generally nice person.

211

Then I was thinking wow nobody's ever looked at me this long or like this ever I think.

212

It felt really nice.

213

I felt like everything that she was was like real.

214

I like that.

215

That was a lot easier than five.

216

That wasn't that bad!

217

It wasn't bad at all.

218

It went so good.

219

He's like beautiful, so there's that.

220

And he's so nice.

221

So I was like really, that was really fun.

222

They're probably gonna ask us, like, would you go out again?

223

But should we ruin it for them?

224

I kind of expected to be like, do you guys want to go on a second date?

225

Sure, yeah, let's do it.

226

And then like, follow me on Instagram.

227

Cool, here's my handle.

228

And then like, never talk again.

229

Like our pictures occasionally, but like, I don't get a feeling like that is what's gonna happen, so we'll see.

230

I might be totally wrong I might have totally misread this, but we'll see.

231

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.
