Lektion wird erstellt...
1
So when you meet my dad on Saturday, I want you to wear the red shirt I got you with the khakis.
2
Like this.
3
So you want me to look like I work at Target?
4
He's not gonna think that.
5
Trust me.
6
In Indian culture, red means royal.
7
He's gonna love it.
8
Um, okay, but why can't I just wear what I usually wear?
9
My dad's a senior partner at a law firm.
10
You need to make a good impression on him.
11
You can't just show up looking like.. this.
12
Also, why are you wearing this beanie?
13
I told you I didn't like it.
14
Okay, why do I have to try so hard to impress your dad?
15
Because Indian dads are super strict.
16
And if he doesn't like you, he's not going to let me be with you.
17
Which is also why we need to talk about you getting a job.
18
A job?
19
But I told you I'm trying to start it right now.
20
Yo, what's up bro?
21
Yo, what's up?
22
Dude, what's up?
23
Yo, what's good?
24
Did you get your ticket to the Lakers-Bowls game tomorrow?
25
Arthur and I got ours.
26
What?
27
You're going to the basketball game tomorrow?
28
You didn't tell me this.
29
Yeah, look, I know.
30
I'm sorry, babe.
31
I was just about to let you know.
32
But Friday nights are our nights together.
33
So is every other night.
34
Look, I hardly even get to see my friends anymore.
35
Well, that's what happens when you're in a relationship, John.
36
Um, do y'all mind giving us a second?
37
Look, babe, I'm really sorry, okay?
38
It's just, sometimes I feel like I can't talk to you about these things
39
because you get really mad or you guilt trip me.
40
That's not true.
41
Okay, well, would you mind if I hung out with Arthur and Jerry tomorrow?
42
So you don't want to hang out with me?
43
See?
44
Guilt tripping.
45
That's not a guilt trip.
46
You know what?
47
Fine, just go.
48
I'll just be by myself on a Friday night.
49
Don't worry about me.
50
Raji, stop.
51
Stop.
52
Raji, where are you going?
53
I should probably check on her.
54
Yeah, I'll let you know about the game though.
55
You don't always need to do what she says, you know?
56
Yeah, you shouldn't have to change yourself to make someone else happy.
57
I know.
58
Thanks guys.
59
I'm just gonna figure this out and I'll hit you guys up later.
60
Yeah.
61
Later.
62
Can you please just stop being upset?
63
I just don't know why you'd want to hang out with your friends over me.
64
Look babe, it's not like I'm choosing them over you, alright?
65
I just like to see them once in a while too, you know?
66
Hi!
67
What can I get for you guys?
68
I'll take a sweet green juice, please.
69
Great. And you?
70
Can I get the Impossible Burger and fries?
71
What?
72
I thought we were on a 14-day juice cleanse together.
73
I know, but I'm so hungry that I've been feeling lightheaded.
74
I want an actual meal.
75
Well, that's how it goes.
76
I can just come back when you figure it out.
77
No, he'll take a green juice as well.
78
All right, two sweet greens.
79
Bring him right out.
80
I said I wanted the burger.
81
All right, look, I'm way bigger than you, and I can't just get by on juice alone.
82
Well, that's how it goes.
83
We had an agreement.
84
You said you'd stick to it.
85
You forced me into that agreement.
86
All right?
87
I didn't want to do this whole juicing thing anyway.
88
And it's not like I'm even overweight.
89
Yeah, not now.
90
But I don't want an obese husband a year from now when we get married.
91
Well, did you just say you want to get married in a year?
92
Yeah.
93
After you meet my dad, he's not just going to be okay with me dating a guy.
94
We are so young.
95
I don't even...
96
Yo, what's up?
97
Hello, what's up, dude?
98
Yo, man, so what's up with Tamar?
99
Are you going?
100
Uh, give me one second.
101
Babe, can I please go?
102
Seriously, John?
103
Even after I told you how it made me feel, you still want to go?
104
Okay, I'm really sorry, okay?
105
But I'm gonna be spending time with you tonight, and Saturday night, and Sunday night.
106
That's what people who want to be with each other do.
107
Hello, you there?
108
Uh...
109
Yeah, yeah, um...
110
Can we talk about the game later?
111
Seriously?
112
Come on, why can't you just tell us right now?
113
Are you really gonna be on the phone the entire time we're at lunch?
114
I'll call you guys back.
115
No, no, no, hey, wait, wait, wait!
116
I don't like your friends.
117
What are you talking about?
118
They've been my best friends since...
119
elementary school.
120
Well, you know, you're the average of the five people you spend the most time with just so you know.
121
I don't even get to spend time with five different people.
122
The only person I ever spend time with is you!
123
You say that like it's a bad thing.
124
Okay, I did not mean it that way.
125
I...
126
Maybe we're just both hungry.
127
Drink your juice.
128
Hey babe, guess where I went today?
129
Can you give me one second please?
130
You care more about your game than me?
131
No, it's not that.
132
I'm just about to beat this level.
133
Just give me one minute.
134
Hey!
135
Why would you do that?
136
I haven't seen you since school got out and then you're gonna ignore me when I walk in.
137
Besides, you shouldn't be playing video games anyway.
138
Why not?
139
It's a Friday and you wouldn't even let me hang out with my friends
140
and now I can't even play video games too?
141
Video games won't help you get ahead, John.
142
But you know what will?
143
What?
144
This job application I picked up for you today.
145
Job application?
146
I stopped by at a local law firm.
147
They said they're hiring interns.
148
The pay isn't that great, but it'll help you get your foot in the door.
149
I even went ahead and filled it out for you already.
150
Why would you do that?
151
I told you I wanted to start my own business.
152
Do you know what percentage of businesses fail?
153
Over 50% in the first two years alone, and then over 90% within 10 years.
154
It's not a reliable source of income.
155
That doesn't mean I'm gonna fail.
156
Look, John, I don't want my dad to think that you're not gonna be able to support us when we have kids.
157
Kids?
158
Yeah, he's very traditional.
159
I really think you should apply for this job.
160
It's gonna impress him and...
161
Hey honey, Arthur and Jerry are here.
162
Uh, yeah, okay.
163
You invited them over?
164
No, they were supposed to be at the game.
165
I have no idea why they're here.
166
Wait.
167
Yo, weren't you guys supposed to be at the game?
168
Yeah man, but we couldn't go without you man.
169
We go to every game with each other.
170
That's why we bought you a ticket.
171
Oh yeah.
172
And we are not taking no for an answer, my friend.
173
No way.
174
Seriously?
175
Mm-hmm.
176
Oh, man.
177
Go get some gear on so we can roll out.
178
Oh, dude, I wish it was that easy.
179
Raji's here.
180
Come on, man.
181
I'm sorry.
182
I'm going to stop letting her tell you what to do.
183
Yeah, man, you've got to live your life.
184
You should just tell her that.
185
Tell me what?
186
Go on.
187
you were saying?
188
That's what I thought.
189
Babe, guess what?
190
They got me tickets to go to the game.
191
So, do you think maybe- Absolutely not.
192
We already talked about this.
193
See, this is why your friends are a bad influence.
194
They don't respect your decisions.
195
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
196
Bad influence?
197
We're just trying to hang out with our best friend.
198
No, you're peer pressuring him into doing something he doesn't want to do.
199
Right, John?
200
I, uh...
201
So you don't wanna hang with us?
202
No, it's not like that.
203
Guys, come on, you know...
204
Okay then.
205
So what's it gonna be?
206
Your friends or your girlfriend?
207
I don't want to have to choose.
208
Well, you have to, so make a decision.
209
I can't go, sorry guys.
210
Wow, man.
211
You've changed.
212
You're not the John we used to know.
213
Have fun hanging out with your girlfriend. Are you happy now?
214
You just ruined my friendships with my best friends.
215
Wow.
216
When we're married with kids, you won't have time for them anyway.
217
Come on.
218
Let's go over your outfit for tomorrow.
219
I love the kids.
220
Don't even think about eating those Doritos!
221
How did she know?
222
Do I really have to wear this tie?
223
Yeah, so stop asking.
224
Let's go over what you're gonna say one more time.
225
I don't wanna do it again.
226
I'll be fine.
227
It's really important that you don't...
228
Dad!
229
I missed you so much.
230
I missed you too, how are you?
231
I'm good.
232
This is John, the guy I've been telling you about.
233
Hello, Samir.
234
It's...
235
You mean Mr. Gupta.
236
Yes, I do.
237
I'm so sorry, Mr. Gupta.
238
It's nice meeting you, sir.
239
It's okay.
240
Samir's fine.
241
No need for formalities with me.
242
Okay.
243
Sit down.
244
Relax.
245
Hey, great.
246
Hello, my name's Alex.
247
I'll be your server today.
248
How you doing?
249
Here's your menus.
250
Can I get you something to start a drink today?
251
So actually only my dad's eating, we're juicing.
252
We are?
253
Mm-hmm.
254
Okay.
255
We'll get two green juices.
256
Sure.
257
We're on a strict diet, but you should eat whatever you want.
258
You've got a lot of discipline.
259
Thanks.
260
More so than I can say.
261
You know what, I'll do the impossible burger, please, with fries and a Sprite.
262
That's what I usually order.
263
You haven't had it a few times, it's really good.
264
I'll be right back with your drinks.
265
Thank you.
266
Are you sure you don't want to order some real food?
267
Yeah, you sure.
268
Okay.
269
So, John, tell me about yourself.
270
Working or?
271
No, I actually, my goal is to start my own business.
272
What he means to say is he just applied for a job at a law firm.
273
Really?
274
So you want to be a lawyer one day?
275
Uh, yeah.
276
You know, I've been a lawyer my entire life.
277
And I'll be honest with you, it's a lot of stress.
278
You're young.
279
Now's the time to take risks.
280
I mean, why not look into starting your own business?
281
That's exactly what I want to do.
282
I want to be an entrepreneur.
283
Yeah, but John and I already talked about it, and he knows how important it is for him to have a stable job.
284
That way when we get married...
285
Married?
286
You guys are already talking about marriage?
287
I mean, it's a little fast, don't you think?
288
Yes!
289
Wait, I thought you wouldn't let me date Raji unless...
290
Well, we're not gonna get married like tomorrow.
291
We're gonna take our time.
292
But this year, for sure.
293
I mean, how else will we have kids?
294
Kids?
295
You're already talking about kids too?
296
What's the rush?
297
There is no rush, Mr. Gupta, I assure you.
298
Uh, Rashi said that that's what you wanted us to do.
299
Me?
300
Absolutely not.
301
Enjoy your life.
302
Travel, experience new things.
303
Now's the time to do that.
304
Yeah.
305
Wait, so I'm confused.
306
You told me that you're...
307
My dad is a lot more traditional than he's coming off.
308
Traditional.
309
Me.
310
That's a good one, Raji.
311
Wow, so this entire time when you said
312
that your dad wanted me to have a job and that he wanted us to get married and have kids, that was you?
313
So, was this time really that big of a deal?
314
You know, I was wondering why you wore that.
315
I mean, honestly, the only reason I'm dressed this way is because I had court today.
316
Otherwise, I'd probably be in a T-shirt and beanie.
317
Here's your drinks.
318
Thank you.
319
Sprite and your juice.
320
Actually, can you cancel my green juice?
321
But we agreed to do this diet together.
322
Yeah, but that was for you.
323
And now I want to start doing things that make me happy.
324
I want to focus on myself and...
325
I shouldn't have to change who I am just to make you happy.
326
I'm sorry, but you're a really cool guy, but I can't do this anymore.
327
I gotta go.
328
Are you sure?
329
Yes, I am.
330
Just need to process things.
331
Do you mind?
332
No, please don't go.
333
Raji, I'm serious.
334
I need to go.
335
Why are you doing this?
336
Raji, let him go.
337
You have to respect his wishes.
338
Thank you.
339
It was really nice meeting you.
340
Hey, hey, hey.
341
Come on.
342
It's all right.
343
It's all right.
344
It's okay.
345
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, you got this, you got this, you got this, yes!
346
Let's go!
347
You can play.
348
Oh.
349
John?
350
Hey.
351
What are you doing here, man?
352
What are you wearing?
353
Oh, uh...
354
Is it cool if I come in?
355
Yeah, of course, man.
356
Thanks.
357
Surprised Raji let you come here.
358
Well, uh, let's just say that Raji isn't gonna be telling me what to do anymore.
359
Uh, do you guys mind if I...
360
Yeah, sure.
361
Mmm.
362
I forgot what real food tasted like.
363
So you wanna tell us what's going on?
364
Um, yeah, yeah.
365
I'm sorry, guys.
366
I was honestly a really bad friend.
367
I let Rashi control me way too much.
368
And honestly, I finally...
369
Hi.
370
Is John here?
371
Uh-huh.
372
Do you mind coming out for a sec?
373
No, I think I'm good right here.
374
I'm gonna learn.
375
I came here to apologize.
376
I'm sorry for how controlling I've been.
377
Just controlling? And the guilt trips.
378
And lying to you about my dad.
379
I'm so sorry for everything.
380
I realize now You shouldn't have to change who you are to make me happy.
381
Will you please forgive me?
382
I don't think I could do that right now.
383
I promise.
384
No more telling you what to wear, what to eat, where to work.
385
Or to not hang out with my friends.
386
Yeah.
387
None of that.
388
I just want you to be happy.
389
Is there any chance we can try this again?
390
Also, I bought three box seats to the Laker game next week.
391
You can take Arthur and Jerry with you.
392
Really?
393
Are you for real?
394
You guys were eavesdropping?
395
Duh.
396
Come on, box seats?
397
You can't turn those down, man.
398
Hurry up and forgive her.
399
Uh, yeah.
400
Uh...
401
I forgive you.
402
Yes!
403
Thank you.
404
And I'll tell you what, keep hanging out with your boys for as long as you possibly want,
405
and just call me when you're done.
406
I'm sorry I like the new Raji.
407
Wait, how did you know where I was?
408
I may have enabled share my location from your phone a few months ago.
409
Seriously?
410
Raji.
411
Okay, but look.
412
I turned it off.
413
See?
414
Bye.
415
We just got box seats to the LAK!
416
Oh my god!
417
Oh my god!
418
Oh my god!
419
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
420
Come on, Shanks!
421
Box seats, baby!
422
Welcome to Behind the Scenes.
423
You touch my daughter, it's over.
424
Hello, Samir.
425
Boys need to do what she says, you know.
426
Be yourself, and they have to accept you for who you are.
427
You're gonna go hang out with them again?
428
You're really gonna go hang out with your friends again?
429
You got myself on a Friday night.
430
Don't worry about me.
431
Thank you.
Kontext & Hintergrund
In diesem Clip aus dem Video „Controlling Girlfriend GETS DUMPED“ sehen wir eine komplexe Beziehung zwischen zwei jungen Erwachsenen, die sich Herausforderungen in ihrer Beziehung und in der Kommunikation mit den Eltern gegenübersehen. Ein wichtiger Aspekt ist die kulturelle Bedeutung von Kleidung in der indischen Kultur und die Erwartungen, die damit verbunden sind. Der Dialog spiegelt typische Beziehungsprobleme wider, wie das Streben nach dem Gleichgewicht zwischen Freunden und Partner und das Bedürfnis, bei den Eltern gut anzukommen. Dies bietet einen reichen Kontext für Englischlerner, die realistische Gesprächssituationen üben möchten.
Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation
- „Du musst einen guten Eindruck machen.“ - Eine wichtige Redewendung, wenn es darum geht, andere zu beeindrucken.
- „Ich kann mit dir über diese Dinge nicht reden.“ - Eine häufige Vorstellung in Beziehungen, die Schwierigkeiten beim Kommunizieren zeigt.
- „Ich habe dir das schon gesagt.“ - Nützlich, um Missverständnisse anzusprechen.
- „Mach dir keine Sorgen um mich.“ - Zeigt, wie man unabhängig von der Beziehung sein kann.

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.
