Shadowing-Übung: get ready with me for a DATE... - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Hi guys, it's Syd and welcome back.

Wait, how do I open this?

It's not what it looks like.

This is alcohol -free sparkling rose.

This is my first time trying this actually It's from 90 plus sellers.

If you're watching this at home, you should go get your own drink of choice tea, whatever it is and we can get ready together. So cheers!

I'm so excited for this video.

I was about to get ready for my date.

I was honestly thinking to myself, I wish I had some of my friends to get ready with me.

Like, it's just always more fun.

And then it dawned on me, why don't I just film myself getting ready?

And that's why we're here.

I'm gonna do some skincare to start off, and then we're gonna do our makeup together, pick out an outfit, hair, really just like the full, the full thing.

I'm going on a date tonight with my boyfriend.

currently February 11th at 7 p .m.

We're going to celebrate Valentine's Day early because he'll be out of town on Valentine's Day.

I don't really know anything except we're going to the restaurant that we actually had our first date at, which I'm really excited.

I thought that was really cute.

I went on my Instagram stories and I asked you guys to ask me questions as I got ready.

I wanted to do that espresso makeup.

It's really just like a name for a bronzed neutral look.

I love my new of me redecorating my room.

I had so much fun.

There's a little drama in the comments.

I did get a lot of people telling me that my room needs to have less mirrors.

And I actually think you guys are right.

Like that's the thing.

Like you guys are usually right about these things.

I'm not really the best interior decorator.

It's something that I'm working on.

So you guys did influence me.

And I think I'm going to take this one out.

You guys should just decorate my room for me to be Thank you.

I would say truly living in New York City is the best it's ever been for me right now.

Moving here at first was, I would say, pretty challenging just because I knew, not even exaggerating, I knew zero people moving here.

There is a huge transition period.

You know, you can't expect to make all of your best friends within three months of moving to a new city.

And I think I was just a little bit discouraged and lonely.

At that point, I was still so new.

And I knew deep down that I did want to give it a chance.

Unless I was absolutely miserable, I wanted to give it at least a year.

And after a year, if I still didn't like it, I knew that I would move out at that point.

So I'm really grateful that I stayed.

And I'm really happy now that I have some really good friends.

And I just feel a lot more settled in.

Which did take, I would say, a good year.

Where is your dream place to live?

I don't know.

I go back and forth about this.

That question kind of gives me a lot of anxiety.

Because I truthfully just don't know where I want to be.

I guess maybe Minnesota, maybe Southern California.

I could see myself in like Orange County just because I love the weather there.

I have some good friends down there, but then a part of me really misses my family in Minnesota.

So yeah, I really don't know.

What are you doing for Valentine's day this year?

That's so funny because I'm filming this video.

And for Valentine's day, I'm going on a date with my boyfriend.

Are you still Christian?

Yes, 100%, I still am.

I'm trying to find new churches to try out.

Actually, if you guys have any recommendations in Manhattan, definitely let me know.

My faith has always been really important to me and I'm

so grateful to have my faith

and my own relationship with god i would say like the

toughest times in my life i don't think i could have gotten through them without

that is starting a business hard like you imagined for those

of you who don't know i have a jewelry brand

that i started about three months ago now it's been

so much fun it's truly like my dream i love jewelry

it is definitely a ton a ton of work i think

that's why people always say it's important to be passionate about the brand you're starting

to get through how much work it is.

You just have to be really driven, I think, and like have a reason and a genuine motivation behind it.

It's been really hard, but I wouldn't say it's been like not fun.

It's been a lot of work, but simultaneously so fun.

I just love working on it.

I would say the hardest part for me is just balancing that with social media.

I would never want my social media to like take a backseat.

I'm not the best with managing my time in that way, like splitting my priorities.

I'm usually best if I just like focus on one thing.

will you ever do your ophelia pop -up shop and possibly meet

and greet i would love to pop up it's definitely a goal

that i have for ophelia definitely that is something

that is high on my radar you have a new boyfriend now

so happy for you sid

and i hope you're doing well this honestly was just like such a sweet message

so i just wanted to say thank you it just felt

so genuine and sweet i truly am doing really well i'm so happy although i don't talk much about my relationship

of being in a relationship and my experiences without like sharing personal details.

I don't know.

I'm still like navigating that.

Like how to do that properly.

I don't know.

What they say is true.

Like it always comes when you least expect it.

And to be honest, like a relationship was the last thing I was expecting for myself.

At least like at this time.

It's so funny because it's what they always say.

100

It is really true.

101

I think.

102

Ways to feel more confident.

103

Love ya.

104

The one way to is really just doing things that are outside your comfort zone.

105

There's just something empowering about doing something that you think you can't do or something that you're really afraid to do.

106

And then after the fact, you feel such like an inner type of confidence.

107

It kind of just pushes you to be better and like do things out of your comfort zone.

108

I'm not saying like do something irrational or something reckless.

109

That's not what I mean.

110

For me, for example, I really wanted to move to New York.

111

But the one thing I was scared about was moving there

112

and just like not knowing anyone and starting completely over New york is also just such an overwhelming city, you know, it's definitely like a big jump But if

113

that was the only reason like the only thing holding me back I didn't want

114

that to be the reason I didn't try it out.

115

So I moved here I definitely went through some uncomfortable times as I talked about

116

and now like fast forward a year and a half I'm

117

so happy that I did and it really gave me more confidence

118

so extreme like move to a big city to give

119

that confidence to yourself even something small like

120

if it's like public speaking maybe you're afraid of practicing even

121

if it's in front of like five people signing yourself up for a class it can be super small things

122

and those i would say just are the things

123

that have made me the most confident how tall are you i'm five foot three sometimes five foot four

124

but usually it's five foot three fave matcha spot in new york city i really like strawberry puree is really good.

125

Favorite coffee.

126

Okay, I wanted to answer this because I have been switching up my order recently.

127

I always get an iced vanilla latte.

128

Usually I get it with oat milk, but recently I've been getting skim milk, which I used to never do, but I really like it.

129

Is that like controversial to say?

130

Maybe I started drinking the milk in my smoothies.

131

I think that's what did it and I just been liking it a lot better Also, this is the best lip liner.

132

This is the makeup forever liner in the shade wherever walnut It's so good.

133

Like I wear this all the time

134

and then I always blot my lips after you can also use this like anywhere on your face

135

So i'm gonna do a little bit of this as eyeliner I got some questions asking about ophelia

136

and why I decided to name my jewelry brand ophelia in middle school when we read Shakespeare.

137

I just remember reading that name and loving it and I was probably about 14.

138

I just love it.

139

I just thought it was so feminine and beautiful

140

and I also love Shakespeare and her story was just something I just always remembered.

141

What's the one thing you hate about being an influencer?

142

I've been thinking about this a lot recently actually.

143

There's so much I like but there's one thing in particular

144

that I just feel not like insecure about but kind of

145

that i'm coming off really self -centered i hope

146

that this doesn't offend anyone i really like this is not

147

about anybody except for me it's just like my relationship

148

that i have to my job i obviously love making videos i've been making them since i was like 14

149

but i feel like i know you guys

150

and i feel like i truly have like a relationship with you guys

151

and i so badly wish that i could just sit down with each of you

152

and just like talk i just never want to come off like self -centered photos of myself, I post videos on YouTube,

153

and I am like my brand in a way.

154

The older I get, I really like to share

155

so many different elements of my life that I'm like learning and discovering that aren't just like strictly about me.

156

Like new hobbies or challenges in your 20s, things that are just relatable to everybody.

157

I don't know, I just, I'm conscious to not come off like self -absorbed because sometimes I just feel like I'm talking about myself the whole time, but it's also just like kind of, that's like I guess what vlogging is.

158

I don't know, you guys.

159

I don't know if this makes sense and I hope no one gets offended

160

and that actually kind of leads me to How much I love

161

when you guys come up to me like whenever i'm in public

162

and one of you guys like says hi I usually try to just like have a conversation

163

because meeting you guys in person is like my favorite thing ever I feel like I can be more personable that way.

164

What's your go -to activity to de -stress to be honest like

165

so honest Getting off social media is number one and secondly, I usually just call my mom just chat.

166

I don't know.

167

My mom is like my best friend.

168

She's very like de -stressing to me.

169

I just love chatting with her.

170

If not that, I would say like going on a walk, calling like one of my best friends or listening to music.

171

Really just anything but being on social media is the main thing that helps me.

172

I love this lip oil I got.

173

It's from Charlotte Tilbury and I got it in their like advent calendar.

174

It's so nice.

175

I think we've answered enough questions for now.

176

I am going Per usual, I'm running a little late.

177

Just a titch.

178

Also, people seem to not know what titch means.

179

It must be a Minnesota thing.

180

What do I wear?

181

It is really, really cold, so probably something I should keep in mind.

182

Pink or red would be really fun.

183

I have this pink sweater with bows on it.

184

This is from Petal and Pop.

185

It's so beautiful.

186

I love this sweater.

187

I have this sweater, which is nice.

188

It's this nice cream sweater from the brand Skys Are Blue.

189

I get a this.

190

This could be an option.

191

Ooh, I have this red sweater that I love.

192

It's this button -down burgundy sweater.

193

I get so many questions about this whenever I wear it.

194

And it's from White Fox.

195

Maybe if I wear like a white top under.

196

This is really cute.

197

I love this top.

198

I got this from Garage and it's pink, but there's just no way.

199

Like, why am I even thinking about this?

200

Way too cold.

201

These are the three sweater options I'm working with.

202

I should probably try them on.

203

This is option number one.

204

I love the sweater.

205

This is kind of like my safe sweater though.

206

I wear it probably too much.

207

It's so nice.

208

Like, I love this sweater.

209

Do I really want to wear this again?

210

No, I can't be predictable.

211

I can't be predictable these days.

212

I need to catch them off guard.

213

I love this sweater.

214

It's so cute, you guys.

215

This sweater.

216

I just feel just so feminine and pretty.

217

It, like, makes me happy wearing this.

218

The color I thought initially would, like, wash me out a little bit, but it's actually, like, the perfect pink.

219

This is a contender.

220

I'm gonna be dilly -dallying.

221

Like I actually have no time.

222

This is the last option.

223

I don't know if I would wear it.

224

Probably wear it with just these two buttons.

225

I honestly thought I would choose this one, like just first glance.

226

But now that I've tried them on, I don't know.

227

It'd almost be a disservice to not wear this tonight.

228

Okay!

229

I love this sweater.

230

So I think I'm just scrapping the whole sweater.

231

I actually really reconsidered this.

232

I would like to wear a dress tonight So I'm gonna put this one on.

233

It's this black long sleeve dress.

234

So let's try this.

235

I'm stressed out.

236

Um, yes, this is it for sure.

237

This is way better.

238

I don't know Honestly guys, what was I thinking with the sweaters?

239

This is much better.

240

The outfit part is like this is getting to be stressful.

241

Oh Mostly because I'm late, but this dress is like perfect.

242

It's from Abercrombie and I like the long sleeves

243

and like the high neck and it cinches I don't know if you guys can see on the waist right here.

244

So it's just so flattering.

245

I'm gonna get some shoe options And I should probably put tights on.

246

I feel like my mom's gonna watch this

247

and be like Sydney Why did you ever think you should wear that first outfit?

248

Okay, I'm putting my tights on.

249

This is never cute The tights are nice because I self tan

250

and I did not self tan my legs because I was lazy

251

shoes in my mind I really only have one option for my shoes

252

which are these boots because they're so beautiful

253

and they're just gonna go perfectly with this I think they're these Dolce Vita knee -high boots

254

much much better what was I thinking guys like I'm actually scared

255

that I was thinking I should wear a sweater okay

256

so this is the fit in my mirror I think this came together really well

257

and I think it looks really nice as far as the purse goes these are my two best options

258

so I have this tiny black purse and this is from white fox

259

or I have this large red one I have other options but these are just like my favorites

260

I know it's gonna seem boring, but I think I'm gonna just do this simple black purse.

261

And for hair, well, we're running out of time.

262

Hair is gonna be limited for options.

263

I kind of want to put my hair up just because it's such a high neck.

264

I think putting my hair up in like a claw clip updo could be pretty.

265

What do you guys think?

266

Do we like, guys?

267

I think I actually like it.

268

My hair is laying perfectly.

269

Usually that doesn't happen the first try.

270

If I had more time, I probably would throw a curl in.

271

Should I throw a curl in?

272

I'm gonna try to throw a curl in really quickly.

273

It's like this front piece that I have.

274

Oh my god.

275

Okay, I'm late.

276

I feel bad.

277

My hair needs to look good, you guys.

278

I can't go with bad hair.

279

This is the best wand ever like $20 on Amazon.

280

Much, much better.

281

Okay guys, I'm running out the door.

282

Sorry, this is on my iPhone now, but I decided to put in these gold hoops that I have.

283

I got them like three years ago.

284

I don't even remember where they're from, but I'm leaving.

285

I have my little coat on 'cause it's obviously freezing.

286

This place is like two seconds away from my apartment and it's snowing, which I didn't think it would stay snowing.

287

There goes my hair. do Thank you.

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.
