England, 1995 Hey!
2
Jan!
3
Look at this!
4
Carol said.
5
She had a letter in her hand and took it across to her husband at the breakfast table.
6
It's from the Oxford Orchestra, she said.
7
They're giving concerts in the Czech Republic this Christmas.
8
They're doing three concerts in Prague and they're asking me to go because they need a harpist.
9
Shall we go to Prague for Christmas?
10
I can play with the orchestra and you can come with us.' When are the concerts? asked Jan.
11
I always have a lot of work in the weeks before Christmas.
12
I must finish writing my new book then.
13
Jan taught Czech at Oxford University and wrote books about languages.
14
He was born in Czechoslovakia, but came to England with his father when he was very young.
15
He met Carol when she was one of his students at university.
16
''The first concert is on December 20th,'' Carol answered.
17
''Are you free then?'' No, I'm sorry, Carol, Jan said,
18
but I can't come before December the 24th.
19
Well, it doesn't matter.
20
You can come for the second concert.
21
It's on December the 25th.
22
But what about my father? said Jan.
23
We can't go away and leave him at Christmas time.
24
He loves a family Christmas with us.
25
You know that.
26
Josef Vlach was sixty-eight years old, and his eyes were bad.
27
He couldn't see very well.
28
So he lived with Carol and Jan.
29
Yosef can come with us, Carol said.
30
He often talks about Prague at Christmas.
31
He says it's the most beautiful time of the year there, because of all the snow on the old buildings.
32
I know, said Jan, but he only talks about Prague.
33
He never wants to go there.
34
Every time we ask him to come with us, he says no. I don't know why,
35
but I think it's because of my mother.
36
When he thinks about Prague, he remembers her.
37
You know, sometimes he cries when he looks at his photo of her, after all these years.
38
Just then, the door opened and Jan's father came slowly into the room.
39
Good morning, he said, and sat down at the table. Is there any coffee?
40
It's cold now, said Carol.
41
Shall I make you some more?
42
Thank you, my dear, he answered.
43
You're very good to me.
44
Carol went out for some coffee.
45
Jan looked at his father carefully.
46
I must ask him now, he thought, while Carol is out of the room.
47
You're very quiet, Jan, said the old man. Is something wrong?
48
No, no, said Jan quickly.
49
Nothing's wrong.
50
It's just...
51
I want to ask you a question, but...
52
It's difficult.
53
Jan stopped.
54
His father smiled.
55
Difficult?
56
Why is it difficult?
57
Are you afraid of an old man?
58
Of course not, said Jan.
59
But I am afraid of your answer.
60
You see, Carol wants to go very much.
61
She loves playing her harp, but it's Christmas time and- Stop, said Josef.
62
What are you talking about?
63
Where does Carol want to go at Christmas?" "'To Prague,' said Jan.
64
And I would like to go with her.
65
We want you to come too.' "'Ah,' said the old man, "'to Prague.
66
I understand now.' The room was suddenly very quiet.
67
Jan drank his cold coffee and waited.
68
The old man took something out of his pocket.
69
It was a photograph of his dead wife, Jan's mother.
70
He spoke very quietly, not to Jan, but to the photograph in his hand.
71
Perhaps now, before I die, just once I can go back again.
72
Carol came back with some hot coffee.
73
She looked at Josef, then at Jan.
74
Shh!
75
He's thinking about Prague, Jan said quietly.
76
Carol put the coffee on the table and sat down.
77
The hands on the clock slowly moved through two long minutes.
78
Then the old man put the photograph back in his pocket.
79
All right, he said.
80
Let's all go to Prague for Christmas.
81
It's beautiful there when it snows.
82
I remember it so well, so very well.
83
Thank you.
84
Thank you.

Was du lernst

Dieser Clip hilft dir, natürliche Konversationen im Alltag zu verstehen und zu replizieren. Du übst, wie man sich über Pläne unterhält (z. B. "Shall we go to Prague?") und wie man Gründe angibt ("I must finish writing my new book"). Außerdem lernst du, Emotionen in der Sprache zu erkennen – wie Jan leise über seinen Vater spricht oder Carol aufgeregt die Nachricht teilt. Perfekt fürs Englisch lernen mit YouTube!

Höre auf diese Klänge

Achte auf verkürzte Formen und Verbindungen im Gespräch. Zum Beispiel: "She had a letter" wird oft zu "She'd a letter" (verkürztes "had"), oder "What about my father?" klingt wie "Wha-bout my father?" (Verbindung von "what" und "about"). Solche Reduktionen machen die Sprache flüssiger – und sind wichtig, um Englisch wie ein Native zu sprechen.

Sag es wie ein Native

Fürs Englisch Shadowing ist Rhythmus und Betonung entscheidend. Höre dir Carol an, wie sie "Look at this!" mit Aufregung sagt – das "this" wird kurz und sharp betont. Jan hingegen spricht langsam, wenn er über seinen Vater redet: "I don't know why, but I think it's because of my mother" – die Pausen zwischen den Sätzen sorgen für Ruhe. Übe, indem du die Sätze direkt nachsprichst (Shadowing): Kopiere die Geschwindigkeit und die Betonung. So verbessert du nicht nur deine Englische Aussprache, sondern auch deinen Sprachfluss. Ein guter Tipp: Nutze eine shadowing site, um dir die Sätze zu wiederholen – es hilft, den "shadow speech" perfekt zu meistern!

Mit solchen Dialogen aus echten Szenen lernst du Englisch nicht nur theoretisch, sondern praktisch. Also: Schalte das Video ein, höre genau hin und sprich mit – dein Englisch wird sich schnell verbessern!

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.
