18

19
In the past, he did.
20
But now, he does not.
21
So, he no longer hugs me.
22
Hugs, hugs means holds, H -O -L -D, right?
23
Hug means to hold someone that you like or love, to hug.
24
Okay, so her husband does not hug her anymore.
25
No longer hugs me or shows me any affection.
26
Affection.
27
Affection means kindness, love.
28
Usually, affection means touching, touching somehow.
29
Maybe kissing.

32
Those are all affection.
33
Affection.
34
So affection means how you show your love.
35
Kissing, hugging, holding hands.
36
Those are all affection.
37
Okay, so no more affection from him.
38
She says, I have seen him through cancer and diabetes.

41
Cancer, you probably know cancer.
42
Cancer is a serious disease, serious disease, hard to cure.
43
Cure is C -U -R -E, C -U -R -E.

45
So her husband in the past, in the past, he had cancer and diabetes.
46
She says, I have seen him through, seen him through cancer and diabetes.
47
Okay, to see someone through means you helped them with,
48
right?
49
It means you stayed with them.
50
You stayed with them and you helped them
51
so I have seen him through cancer means I stayed with him
52
and helped him when he had cancer okay when he had cancer I did not leave.
53
I stayed and I helped him.
54
That's what see him through or seen him through means.
55
For example, I might say,
56
my mom saw me through many diseases.
57
When I was a child,
58
I was sick my mom saw me through those diseases right
59
she stayed with me she took care of me she helped me she saw me through okay
60
so this wife saw him through cancer
61
and diabetes she stayed with him she helped him learn the whole phrase to see someone through.
62
Don't worry about each word.
63
If each word you think, oh, I don't understand.
64
Right?
65
Just remember the whole phrase,
66
the three words together, to see someone through something, some problem.
67
See someone through a problem.
68
Okay.
69
She says, we have four grown children okay the children are older now they're adults
70
and we have been seeing a therapist for a year and a half a therapist a therapist is a professional
71
helper.
72
Maybe a psychologist.
73
Maybe a family counselor.
74
So a therapist helps you with your problems.
75
You talk to them and they help you.
76
So maybe if you feel bad, you say, oh, I feel bad.
77
I'm sad and the therapist talks to you helps you feel better
78
so the husband
79
and the wife are going to a therapist seeing a therapist seeing here seeing means meeting,
80
M -E -E -T, meeting or going to.
81
So sometimes the verb see has a different meaning.
82
It means to meet or to go to.
83
Sometimes it means to date, like a man and a woman.
84
I say I'm seeing her, means I'm dating her, going with her, I'm meeting her a lot.
85
So they're meeting a therapist a lot.

They're seeing a therapist.
87
They started a year and a half ago.
88
They go, they say, we have problems, please help us.
89

A compliment is a nice word or sentence about someone.
96
You say something nice to someone.
97

98
That sentence, you are very beautiful, that is a compliment.
99
It's something nice you say to another person.
100
It's a compliment
101
so her husband does not say nice things
102
to her now not anymore no more compliments
103
and also she says there are no compliments
104
or any of the flirtatious banter we used to enjoy banter banter means fun conversation
105
Not serious, not serious.
106
Banter is not serious conversation.
107
Banter is fun conversation and maybe funny conversation.
108
Flirtatious, okay, this comes from flirt.
109
Flirt, to flirt, a verb,
110
to flirt means to attract the opposite sex.
111
For example, a man talks to a woman because she is beautiful.
112
He says, oh, I like you.
113
You are pretty.
114
Come to dinner with me.

116

117

135
Swear has another meaning. So be careful.
136

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 60 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel didn't, wasn't, doesn't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die „th“-Laute: therapist /ˈθɛɹəpɪst/, cloth /klɒθ/, southwest /saʊθˈwɛst/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: affection /əˈfɛk.ʃən/, flirtatious /flɚˈteɪʃəs/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, psychologist /ˌsaɪˈkɑl.ə.d͡ʒɪst/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): underwear /ˈʌndɚˌwɛɹ/, southwest /saʊθˈwɛst/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: nude /n(j)uːd/, diabetes /ˌdaɪəˈbiːtiːz/, hug /hʌɡ/, solve /sɒlv/, verb /vɝb/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pants /pænts/, attract /əˈtɹækt/, sand /sænd/, paragraph /ˈpæɹəɡɹæf/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie nude, therapist, affair.
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.
