I was there for 10 months.
19
That's a really long time.
20
Yeah.
21
Did you get homesick?
22
A little.
23
What are the South Korean people like?
24
Typically, they will avoid talking to foreigners.
25
But if you need help,
26
they are very nice and would go out of their way to help you.
27
Appearance means everything in Korea.
28
Your hairstyle, dress sense, the shoes that you're wearing.
29
They love to look trendy.
30
They are incredibly respectful to their elders.
31
If there's even a one-year difference in age,
32
they'll make sure that the elder is respected properly.
33
Really?
34
That's so interesting.
35
What did you do there other than studying?
36
I visited a lot of attractions like palaces,
37
museums, parks, markets, and temples.
38
Seoul is unlike any other city that I have visited.
39
Did you have any difficulties getting around?
40
Not at all.
41
The public transportation in Seoul is excellent.
42
What did you think of the food?
43
The food was good to begin with.
44
It has its own kind of spices.
45
They use pepper paste and pepper vinegar in a lot of their foods.
46
They eat a lot of seafood,
47
like squid, octopus, shrimp, and crab.
48
And rice, I suppose, right?
49
Yes, of course, rice too.
50
I particularly liked a dish of vegetables,
51
egg, and noodles mixed together.
52
I also have a traditional side dish of salted and fermented vegetables called kimchi,
53
which is served at nearly every meal.
54
Food was very, very cheap,
55
and clothing was cheap on the outskirts of the city where the university was.
56
Cool.
57
What was the highlight of your trip?
58
The best part of my trip was probably the cruise along the Han River,
59
when I got to see all the great buildings at night.
60
It was very beautiful.
61
The night view was unbelievable and I was able to have dinner while admiring the view of the Han River.
62
I could also enjoy a live musical band on board which was lovely.
63
It was one of the unforgettable experiences I had in Korea.
64
Wow!
65
Did you have any problems during your stay there?
66
No, I didn't have any problems.
67
I thought all the people were very nice and I really had a good time.
68
Can you speak Korean now?
69
Yes.
70
I picked up a lot of words and phrases.
71
I enjoyed being abroad for 10 months.
72
It was a nice experience to get out and live somewhere else.
73
How's your son, Nicole?
74
He's 25 now, right?
75
That's right.
76
He's 25.
77
Well, he's a firefighter now.
78
Does he still live with you and your husband?
79
Yes, he does.
80
He says he can't afford to rent an apartment Because it's too expensive And he doesn't earn enough money
81
He gives us some money every month for bills And,
82
you know, it's nice to have him at home
83
But we'd like him to be more independent He told us a few days ago
84
That he's planning a two-week vacation to Canada with his friends I mean,
85
it's true that he works full-time And we know he needs a break
86
But we think he should save his money so that he can get his own place to live.
87
Should we talk him out of going to Canada?
88
You know, to be honest,
89
I think you're being a bit hard on him.
90
I mean, he's only 25.
91
It's good that he has a job and everybody needs a vacation.
92
My advice is that you should let him go to Canada.
93
And when he comes back,
94
you should sit down with him and talk to him about starting to pay rent.
95
That way he'll understand that he needs to start planning for the future,
96
and to start thinking about renting an apartment.
97
There are a lot of young people still living at home in their 20s and 30s.
98
And some of them don't even have jobs.
99
So in many ways, I think you're lucky.
100
Yeah, you make a point.
101
I've got a problem, Maria,
102
and I need your advice.
103
Sure.
104
What's your problem?
105
Well, a month ago, my friend Claudia and I decided to go on vacation together to Los Angeles.
106
So we play everything, and I was really looking forward to it.
107
As Claudia is an old friend,
108
and I don't see her very often.
109
But the other day, she told me that she invited another friend of hers.
110
Somebody I don't know.
111
A girl called Phoebe to come with us.
112
Claudia never asked me what I thought.
113
I don't even know Phoebe,
114
and I really don't want to go on vacation with someone I don't know.
115
What should I do?
116
I think it was kind of thoughtless of her to invite Phoebe without telling you,
117
and she's put you in a difficult position.
118
You have several different options.
119
You could say that you aren't going if Phoebe goes
120
or you could just cancel
121
and suggest having another vacation later with just the two of you
122
or you could invite someone else who you like
123
and then there would be four of you
124
but in fact you might like Phoebe maybe she's a nice person
125
so I think you should try to get to know her first
126
if you like her then the vacation will probably be a success
127
if not then And you should tell your friend you aren't going because you don't think it'll work with Phoebe.
128
Okay, I'll give it a shot.
129
I'm trying to get acquainted with Phoebe first and see if we can get along.
130
Thanks for the advice.
131
What kind of jobs have you had so far, Mike?
132
Um, well, the first job that I can remember was in high school.
133
I had a part-time job working at a fast food restaurant.
134
Really?
135
Yeah.
136
I started out as a cashier and mostly on the weekends.
137
And after a couple of years,
138
I got to be manager.
139
So all the way through university, I worked there.
140
Did you like it?
141
Yes.
142
A lot of my friends were working there,
143
so that made it a lot of fun.
144
But when I graduated from university,
145
I really wanted to get a job in my field,
146
so I got a job as an economist after that.
147
An economist?
148
Yeah.
149
I worked as an economist for a little over two years,
150
and I didn't really like that job.
151
It was so boring.
152
On top of that, I didn't get along with my boss.
153
He was always asking me to work overtime.
154
I didn't really like the atmosphere there, so I quit.
155
What did you do after that?
156
After that, I wasn't sure what to do.
157
I went back to Phoenix and stayed with my parents for a while.
158
Then I got a quick job at a grocery store.
159
I only got the job because I was broke and needed a little dough to live on before moving on.
160
I thought it was hilarious that this grocery store maybe go through some lengthy training
161
and orientation so I could stock dairy and do super basic customer service.
162
Was it full-time?
163
Yeah, it was full-time.
164
In the meantime, I went back to university and I got my master's degree in English.
165
Wow, that's great.
166
So you became an English teacher?
167
Yes.
168
I read in a magazine about a job teaching English overseas in Thailand.
169
So I applied for that job, and I got it.
170
Wow, Thailand?
171
Did you like that job?
172
Um, yeah.
173
That was a very interesting job.
174
I mean, it was my first time overseas,
175
and it was my first time teaching.
176
So I really enjoyed it,
177
and I liked the students a lot.
178
But I just had a one-year contract,
179
and certain aspects of living in Thailand were difficult.
180
So after my contract was finished,
181
I came back to the US and continued to teach English here.
182
I needed to try and fail to figure out what I'm good at and what I like.
183
The more experiences I was exposed to, the more I learned.
184
Sam, have you heard Ron might be fired soon?
185
No, I had no idea.
186
I wonder what happened.
187
Have you ever worked with him?
188
Yes, I worked with him last year and I've heard stories about him for years.
189
I've never worked with him directly,
190
but I know people that have,
191
and they say he was always shouting and screaming, threatening to fire people.
192
And Martha told me he took credit for one of her ideas.
193
She had this idea for a project,
194
and she brought it up at a meeting, and he liked it.
195
He made her do all the work planning it.
196
when the project actually got started,
197
Martha was left out of it,
198
and her name was not mentioned anywhere.
199
I heard the project won an award because it was brilliant.
200
That's right.
201
Martha saw red when she heard about the award because she didn't get the credit she deserved.
202
But she couldn't do anything.
203
Her hands were tied.
204
Yeah, Ron would have fired her if she had dared to report him.
205
It must be a really bad feeling to have your ideas stolen.
206
How did you find working with him?
207
It was a nightmare because he was very tough.
208
Nobody dared to contradict him for fear they might lose their job.
209
People were genuinely afraid of him.
210
I heard many people had a hard time working with him.
211
Were you on good terms with him?
212
Yes, I did my best to stay in his good books because I needed this job.
213
And I was lucky I didn't have that much contact with him myself.
214
They're doing a full investigation,
215
so I suppose a lot of these stories are going to come to light.
216
I hope so.
217
I really hope he's not coming back.

Übungstipps

Um das Beste aus diesem Video herauszuholen und Ihre Sprachfähigkeiten zu verbessern, empfehlen wir Ihnen, das Shadowing-Verfahren anzuwenden. Hören Sie sich die Dialoge mehrfach an und versuchen Sie, die Sätze gleichzeitig mit den Sprechern nachzusprechen. Achten Sie dabei auf die intonation und den Rhythmus der Sprache, was beim shadowspeaks besonders wichtig ist. Das Wiederholen in Ihrem eigenen Tempo hilft Ihnen nicht nur, sich besser mit der Englischen Aussprache vertraut zu machen, sondern auch, sich sicherer beim Sprechen zu fühlen.

Um den Übungsprozess zu vereinfachen, können Sie das Video in Abschnitte unterteilen. Konzentrieren Sie sich zunächst auf kleinere Phrasen und Sätze, bevor Sie zu längeren Dialogen übergehen. Dies ist eine effektive Methode, um Ihrem Lernfortschritt sichtbar zu machen und Ihre Fähigkeit, Englisch fließend zu sprechen, kontinuierlich zu steigern.

Vergessen Sie nicht, auch den Kontext zu beachten, in dem bestimmte Phrasen verwendet werden. Dies wird Ihnen helfen, ein besseres Verständnis für die kulturellen Nuancen der englischen Sprache zu entwickeln. Viel Spaß beim Üben und entdecken Sie die Vorteile des Englisch lernen mit YouTube!

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.
