Shadowing-Übung: How to change your life by journaling in 2026 - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the channel.

This video is all about how you can use journaling to change your life.

I have been journaling consistently since 2015, pretty much every day through a combination of physical and digital format.

And I found that journaling has been the single habit

that has most positively impacted my life

because it's led to all of the things

that I've done over the last 10 years that have led to my life being completely transformed.

And I genuinely think that if you haven't started journaling yet, if you start doing it, it will also drastically change your life for the better.

So this video is gonna be still up in three parts.

Firstly, we're going to talk about why journaling is a big deal and why it's important in the first place.

Secondly, we're going to talk about the three levels of journaling.

And thirdly, I'm going to share some actionable tips

that you can use to start applying journaling to your life today if you want your life to be changed.

And if you're interested in a totally free list of my favourite journaling prompts, they'll be linked in a Google Doc down below.

I keep that updated and have done for years with my favourite journaling prompts.

So you can just download that and go if that's what you are into.

Now, the thing with journaling is that you've probably come across it before.

You might even see some of the videos I've done on the channel about the importance of journaling.

But when I speak to people around this, most people know that they kind of should probably maybe be doing some journaling, but they are not doing it consistently.

Or if they are doing consistently, they're not like seeing the results that they would really like to get from journaling.

So the key thing here is that it's pretty uncontroversial to say

that the actions that you take dictate kind of your outcomes in life, right?

So you could take positive actions that would lead you on a good trajectory, or you could take actions that take you on a bad trajectory.

Like, you know, probably scrolling TikTok for eight hours a day is probably not helpful, will probably take you on a negative trajectory.

But learning some high income skills and choosing to start your business, for example, might take you on a more positive trajectory.

All of this is the action that we take.

Upstream of the action is a decision.

So for example, the decision I made to start this YouTube channel in 2017

directly led to the actions of me making YouTube videos for the last like eight years.

And that has had a very positive impact on my life.

As a result, I've become financially free

and able to do all the fun things

and you know this gets to be my career which is amazing

so thank you if you've been following the journey for any length of time

but that all stemmed from a decision to let's start a youtube channel right

and so then the question becomes like how does that decision form

and that decision forms as a result of thoughts and feelings

and beliefs and in many ways beliefs are just the same thing as thoughts they're just thoughts

that we take more seriously than other thoughts it basically just comes down to thoughts

and feelings some combination of thoughts and feelings leads to a particular decision

and then that decision leads to actions that change your life

so for example let's say you want to become financially free

that is a thought probably accompanied by some kind of feeling it's like a desire for financial freedom

but loads of people have the desire for financial freedom almost no one actually does anything about it

and almost no one achieves the result

so then you got to have the thought of i want financial freedom

and then you got to have a sort of feeling of confidence

or a feeling of like want like actually wanting to do the things

that it takes to become financially free

and then maybe you watch a video of mine

or you come across some content

that says starting a business is a good route to financial

freedom compared to just trying to get ahead in your career or whatever the thing might be.

So you're like, all right, cool.

Now you have another thought, which is I should start a business.

And then when you have the thought of I should start a business, again, loads of people have the thought of I should start a business.

And yet when I polled people in my audience, like 78 % of you want to start a business, but you haven't yet started a business.

So there's another blocker that holds you back.

And that would be another thought in terms of like, what business idea should I pursue?

And then along this way, along the thought of I want financial freedom I should start

a business the thought of what business idea should I pursue

or that question in your mind this this is also accompanied by a lot of different feelings

and feelings are also these other internal things

that you know internal bodily sensations that we apply some kind of label to

so the feeling of anxiety the feeling of fear the feeling

of like cringe at the thought of like outing yourself as a wannabe business owner the feeling of like oh

but like am I gonna have to show my face am

I gonna have to create content am I gonna have to speak to people

and like what if I get rejected and all this sort of stuff

and all of these are feelings accompanied by thoughts like thought feeling combinations

that block loads of people in the world who have the thought of I should start a business

or I want financial freedom the thoughts

and the feelings block them from actually ever taking action on

doing the thing now what the hell does all of this

have to do with journaling well what it has to do

with journaling is journaling is literally the process of writing down your thoughts

and your feelings and to an extent your beliefs

and the thing about thoughts and feelings in particular thoughts like

when they are in your mind

and they are not on paper they have way more power over us the the thought of

if i start my business then my colleagues will laugh at me is a thought

that i hear a lot from students in our lifestyle business academy

which is kind of like my online business school it tends

to be like professionals who are successful in their in their day jobs

and in their lives who really want to start a business to get to financial freedom

but they're really worried that their colleagues will laugh at them

if they start posting on linkedin for example now saying

that out loud it seems dumb right like why would you

let the thought of what Jane from HR thinks about your business

because you worked with her 10 years ago why would you let

that stop you from achieving financial freedom but when

that thought is in the mind and it's just like in our heads

and it's just sort of bouncing around the thought of like Jane from HR is going to laugh at me Therefore, everyone else will laugh at me.

Therefore, my manager will laugh at me.

Therefore, like I'm going to lose my professional reputation and my social status.

And therefore, I'm going to end up broken, homeless and alone.

And these are not like conscious thought processes, but it tends to be what the mind does

because the mind is a survival machine and it's geared towards protecting us from bad things.

It is not at all geared towards helping us live the life of our dreams.

100

The mind is totally happy if we stay completely miserable, but in our comfort zone, in our comfort zone of safety.

101

The mind is optimizing for safety, not for growth.

102

And in general, if you want to take actions

103

that optimize your life and take you in a direction that you feel your life has changed for the better, we wanna be optimizing for growth rather than for safety.

104

And so the mind is just not the right tool to do this.

105

One example that I quite like is like, imagine you're trying to do something complicated like designing a bridge.

106

Would you try and do that in your head?

107

Probably not, right?

108

Like bridges are very, very complicated devices that require loads of like engineering

109

and like mathematics and like architectural stuff and material science and all

110

that stuff goes together with loads of people to make a

111

bridge they don't do it in their heads they put it down on paper right and so

112

if you're trying to calculate a complex mathematical equation of course you would put it down on paper

113

and yet loads of us just never put our thoughts

114

and feelings on paper we have them in our heads at all times

115

and then what happens is that those thoughts and feelings run rampant

116

and start running going down rabbit holes

117

and stuff we end up making decisions as a result of those

118

but because we're doing them subconsciously we don't realize that like anxiety

119

and fear and cringe and like the fear of rejection

120

and like what are people gonna say and all

121

that kind of stuff we just don't realize that

122

that stuff is holding us back from achieving our dreams and

123

so when you start journaling going back to journaling

124

when you start journaling which is literally the process of writing down your thoughts

125

and your feelings when you write them down i am not starting my business

126

because i am worried that sarah from accounting will laugh at me you write

127

that down and suddenly that particular thought loses like 95 of its power

128

and be like sarah really am i am i really gonna

129

let what sarah from accounting thinks like stop me from achieving financial freedom that's just dumb

130

And then you can kind of see your thoughts for what they are.

131

Most of us, unless we have a journaling practice or a meditation practice, which is sort of somewhat similar in that it has somewhat similar effects to an extent, unless you have a strong journaling or meditation practice,

132

you probably take your thoughts way too seriously.

133

And so when you have thoughts and you get into these rabbit holes, you are allowing those thoughts, which are really just, you know, thoughts are not real.

134

It's kind of like a cloud in the sky, right?

135

Like, I mean, yeah, there's a cloud that's gone by.

136

I currently have the thought of like, oh, lunchtime's in an hour.

137

It's like, who cares?

138

There's a cloud going there.

139

There's a car going there like it's all just it's all just stuff right

140

and unless you journal or meditate or both ideally

141

you will take those very seriously and you will allow your thoughts

142

which are simply patterns of energy in the neurons in your mind you will allow those to dictate your actions

143

and your decisions and therefore you end up on a trajectory where you're living with regret

144

because you never pursued your dreams because you allowed fear to get in your way

145

and stuff so basically that's a long roundabout way of saying

146

that journaling i .e writing down thoughts and feelings is really really important if you want to change your life.

147

Now, in other exciting news, as you might have heard, my team and I are currently building an online business school called the Lifestyle Business Academy, and we're iterating on things at a pretty fast pace.

148

Now, one of the big perks of having

149

so many students going through our program is that we now have a ton of data points and moving parts to manage, including content and feedback and workflows and automations.

150

And all of that gets way easier when you understand how to use AI properly.

151

And something that has really helped me and the team with this is Brilliant, who are very kindly sponsoring this video.

152

They have these fantastic interactive courses on the fundamentals of AI, things like how the AI large language models works, how to think about algorithms, how to break problems down.

153

And all of this has been very interesting to learn about, but has also had a tangible impact on how we are using AI to run our business more effectively.

154

The thing I love about Brilliant is that they don't just teach you theory, it's actually a hands -on approach to problem solving that genuinely changes how you approach your work.

155

And so as you're going through the content, like you're watching the stuff and the explanations, and then you're actually applying them in practice.

156

And that gives you these little aha moments, which is great for building the kind of intuition

157

that research shows is way more effective than just traditional kind of lecture -based learning.

158

The platform also adapts to you at the right level.

159

So it gives you personalized practice and it nudges you forward at exactly the pace you need.

160

So if you would like to become a better thinker and also reach some serious learning goals along the way, head over to brilliant .org or scan the QR code on screen or click the link in the description.

161

And that will also get you 20 % off the annual premium subscription.

162

So thank you so much, Brilliant, for sponsoring the video and let's get back to it.

163

Okay, so now we get to how do you actually do this?

164

And I think of this as the three levels of journaling.

165

Level one is great for complete beginners to journaling and it's super super easy.

166

You just write down what you did today.

167

So either in the morning you can write down what you did yesterday

168

or in the evening you can write down what you did today.

169

And there is a fantastic book by a lovely chap called Matthew Dix called Storyworthy

170

and there is a strategy in that book called Homework for Life

171

and it's basically a book about like how to tell better stories but it's more than about that.

172

It's just it's one of my favorite books of all time.

173

Anyway the idea behind Homework for Life is at the end

174

of every day you just ask yourself what was the most story worthy moment that happened today?

175

And then you just sort of write down what it might be.

176

And if you can't think of anything that was story worthy, it doesn't matter, you've got to come up with something.

177

Like what was just one thing that happened in your day?

178

that was at least slightly interesting

179

or at least slightly more interesting than everything else even

180

if you have a really boring life you have to come up with something

181

and that is a great journaling practice

182

because a it's amazing for being able to actually relive your own memories

183

because our memories are in many ways what we retire on and so

184

when you go back through your journals like i've got journals

185

over here from like years i've been journaling regularly since 2015

186

so now i have like 10 years worth of journal entries where you know

187

if i do them on an app i can see the

188

sort of on this day in 2015 on this day in 2014 this is what i was thinking this is what happened.

189

And reliving those memories is generally quite nice because it's quite nostalgic because it's been a while.

190

And it's also nice because it lets you see how far you've come.

191

So at the very basic level, this doesn't require you to open up about your feelings or about your childhood trauma or anything like that.

192

You literally just write out what you did today.

193

Then you have the next level of journaling, which is you write out what you are thinking.

194

Now there is a technique from Julia Cameron's book, The Artist's Way, called Morning Pages, which is amazing.

195

Loads of people swear by it.

196

And the idea behind Morning Pages is that every morning you just write out three pages.

197

You can do less than three, if three is too many.

198

You're just literally writing down whatever is coming to your mind.

199

So I like to start up my morning pages when I do it with, today is going to be a great day because, and then I just keep writing.

200

And then the idea is you just keep writing.

201

You don't judge what you're writing.

202

No one else has to read what you're writing.

203

You're not writing for publication.

204

You are merely just writing out stuff that comes to your mind.

205

And you generally find that in the process of doing this, as you build the connection between the thoughts that are happening in your brain and what your pen is saying, or if you typing it out.

206

Technically she says you should write it out by hand but sometimes that's annoying so I do type it out.

207

Sorry Julia, apologies.

208

As you develop that connection between actually being able to type out or write out what you're thinking, you actually get a lot of insight into your thought processes.

209

You start to realize that, wait a minute, the thoughts that I keep thinking are actually kind of negative.

210

Huh, it's interesting, why am I talking to myself like that?

211

You also, if you have any kind of creative practice, any kind of like if you're creating content

212

or trying to write a book or trying to do any art

213

or anything that involves creating

214

and putting anything out there into the world often the process

215

of like getting your thoughts out on paper can really help

216

with your creativity as well then as a sort of addition to

217

that instead of just writing what you're thinking you also write what you are feeling

218

and trying to put your feelings into words again this is

219

just super super helpful it gives us a lot of self -awareness about the feelings

220

that we all have we are all experiencing different feelings at

221

different times of the day it is remarkable just how much our feelings subconsciously dictate our decisions

222

and our actions and

223

so being again being able to write it out huh I'm

224

currently feeling a little anxious why am I feeling a little

225

anxious I feel a sense of like franticness that's sort of

226

just coming into my life I feel like I'm maybe running out of time

227

and that's leading to a feeling of like agitation and franticness

228

that if I don't do all the things then I don't know something bad will happen now

229

that thought process or that feeling process in our brains

230

and in our bodies will run rampant

231

and we'll just be like a little stressed a little on edge at risk of burnout without realizing it

232

but as soon as you start journaling and you write it out and put it on paper, you can be like, huh, that's interesting.

233

Why do I act as if I'm running out of time?

234

Am I running out of time?

235

Well, no, not really.

236

I wonder where that thought comes from.

237

And then what happens is that you start like approaching your thoughts and your feelings, kind of like a detective or like an investigator.

238

You're like, huh, it's interesting that I have the thought, this video sucks right now because I don't have any scientific data in it.

239

Hmm.

240

I wonder where that thought comes from.

241

Maybe that comes from thinking

242

that like the only value I have to add as a

243

YouTuber is in like whether I add scientific data to my videos huh that's interesting is

244

that true in the process of journaling you're sort of like having this sort of conversation with yourself

245

but you're not having a conversation with yourself in your head

246

where it's very easy for it to get to derail into like negativity

247

and stuff you're having the conversation with yourself on paper or copy paste into chat gpt and then get an

248

analysis from chat gpt or claude

249

or whatever all of this just gives you way more insight into your own thought patterns

250

and your own feeling patterns and then level three i think is

251

that once you're able to do that kind of stuff

252

which is it's not that hard you then start journaling about your goals

253

and your plans now this is where i really like journaling

254

right like there's a lot of value in journaling in just being able to write out what you're feeling

255

but for me as a productivity bro who cares about like goal achievement

256

and like getting places like becoming financially free

257

or whatever you then start writing about your goals

258

and plans you then start writing like okay cool i've written

259

out what i've done today i've done my morning pages whatever thing thinking

260

and feeling and then at some point you'll start writing about the future you might see a journaling prompt

261

that says something like you know what would you like people to say at your funeral

262

and you're like huh that's an interesting question what would i like people to say at my funeral Well, at my funeral, most people won't really care about my sort of achievements.

263

They're not really going to care how much money I have.

264

But at my funeral, people generally talk about service and they talk about character.

265

So, hmm, what's the kind of service that I would like to offer to people or to the world?

266

What's the kind of character I'd like to develop?

267

And now you are in the mode of processing where you're

268

actually able to make sensible decisions about what you want to do with your life.

269

You might come across a journaling prompt.

270

What does your ideal end state look like?

271

Like, imagine you've achieved everything you want.

272

What does your day -to -day look like?

273

You're like, huh, I've never thought about that.

274

Okay, let's imagine I have achieved everything I want.

275

Let's imagine I have started that business or I've got that promotion or gotten married, had the kids, et cetera, et cetera.

276

What then?

277

What would I actually be spending my time doing?

278

And I'm like, well, maybe.

279

You know what, I just, I really like to do standup comedy.

280

You're like, oh, interesting.

281

Where did that thought come from?

282

Like, yeah, I'd really like to do stand -up comedy.

283

That would be really interesting.

284

Or I'd really like to write songs or like release my own album or whatever that thing might be.

285

Often like we don't give ourselves permission to think in those sorts of ways

286

because we are so fixated on what's the next thing that I have to do.

287

A lot of us are running through life, ticking things off a to -do list, acting as if our time is running out.

288

And we're so focused on like just getting through the day

289

and just getting the stuff ticked off and like removing these sources of stress from our lives.

290

Like, oh, I've got to pay the electricity bill, I've got to pay the water bill.

291

Oh shit, like the radiator next door is broken.

292

So I've got to call a plumber about that, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

293

That when you journal, even for five minutes or 10 minutes and you do it consistently, you get distance from the day -to -day and you can start thinking about the future and you can start asking yourself,

294

what do I actually want?

295

That is like one of the key things that I have personally gotten through journaling over the years, just a better sense of what do I actually want?

296

Because if you really figure out what you want, and then you know not in terms of like i want a lamborghini

297

or i want a yacht or whatever

298

but like what you intrinsically want what you intrinsically want

299

or value you can then start to make decisions

300

that take your life closer in alignment to what you want

301

and what you value and so you might think

302

that you want a lot of money

303

but in the process of journaling you might realize

304

that like okay well what would i do with the money

305

if i had it you might realize that what you would do is

306

that you just want freedom you want freedom to be able to spend your time however you want

307

and then you're like all right cool

308

so it's not really money i want it's more like freedom

309

that i want and then like okay

310

but like why do i want the freedom right like what would i do

311

if assuming i had all the money

312

and all the freedom how would i spend my time

313

and you might land on something like i did

314

that like you know what i would really just focus on

315

teaching i just really like teaching it's like oh interesting teaching is the thing

316

that i want to do like

317

that kind of thought process was what helped me realize

318

that you know my career as a doctor wasn't really for me

319

and i realized that like the most enjoyment i ever had as a doctor was

320

when either i was learning something new or i was teaching something

321

so i'm like huh that's interesting like learning and teaching are the things that I seem to want.

322

Is that true?

323

And then do some journaling, figure that out.

324

It's not like, yeah.

325

Actually, a lot of the past experiences of fulfillment in my life have been involved either

326

when I've been learning something new or I've been teaching something.

327

So I don't really care about the money for the sake of the money.

328

I care about the money because the money gets me freedom and the freedom lets me teach.

329

Oh, okay.

330

So maybe that's what I want.

331

I want the freedom to learn and teach on my own terms.

332

And so that kind of insight can come through journaling.

333

It can come through like having a life coach.

334

It can come through talking about your thoughts

335

and feelings to like an AI model

336

and you know hopefully it's guiding you somewhat guiding you in

337

the right direction all of it requires externalizing your own thoughts and your own feelings because when they are internal

338

there's not much we can do with them

339

and we end up going in all these sorts of different places

340

but externalizing them in any way be it through journaling

341

or through talking to an ai which is kind of basically journaling

342

or talking to a life coach which is basically just like journaling out loud

343

and they're just asking you questions all of

344

that is getting at the question of what do i actually want

345

and then once you figure out what you want then you

346

turn it into a goal you turn into a plan you

347

turn it into a system to follow the plan this is

348

sort of like my gps uh method for goal setting uh

349

which will be linked up there and down there

350

if you're interested in learning more about it

351

and it's all based on what do you actually want i

352

have people who come up to me at my events a

353

lot being like hey how do i figure out what to do with my life

354

or questions like that and my first question is often have you tried journaling about it

355

and often the answer is no not really

356

or like oh yeah i've been in meaning meaning to

357

but i haven't really got around to it it is remarkable

358

how much clarity you can get by just setting a 10 minute timer

359

and just asking yourself a question and then just typing out whatever comes to mind

360

or speaking out whatever comes to mind as a response.

361

If you're interested in an app to help you with that, my team and I have built a tool called VoicePal, which is kind of like voice -based journaling or note -taking.

362

You just go for a walk.

363

It's got a few journaling prompts within it as well.

364

And you can just like pick a prompt and you can just like speak out whatever you want.

365

That'll be linked down below.

366

It's on the app store.

367

It's on Android.

368

People are loving it.

369

It's great.

370

You should check it out if you would like.

371

Okay, so that was a lot of theory.

372

Let's now talk about the actionable tips what are the things you can tangibly, actionably do to start incorporating journaling into your life so that you can change your life?

373

Number one, I would say get a physical journal.

374

These are just some of the physical journals that I have had over the years.

375

I got a new one recently.

376

Basically, I just love getting Harry Potter themed journals.

377

So this is like a Ravenclaw.

378

I got this one.

379

I can't have a Ravenclaw sculpted journal.

380

I got this from South africa um oh i got this one this is one

381

that i got um i think even this is from london

382

expecto patronum another harry potter moleskin like journal it's just nice

383

having a nice journal i think a lot of people would

384

do more journaling where's the other one ah here we go

385

we've got some more here more journals like you know

386

when you've been journaling for a while then you just end up collecting like journals

387

and stuff and it's just super cool like this was my experiment with like bullet journaling where it's like

388

so much stuff in here it's really cool basically get a physical journal

389

that you feel good about using the whole concept behind my book feel good productivity is

390

that we are far more likely to do things

391

and to do things better if we feel good about doing them

392

and so when i bust out my cute blue expecto patronum type journal then i feel good

393

and i'm much more likely to actually journal as a result so I would say just go on Amazon, go to your local shop and get a nice cute physical journal that you feel good about writing in.

394

Actionable tip number two is I would recommend also having a digital journal of some description.

395

And so you can use some kind of journaling app for that.

396

Apple has a built -in free journaling app.

397

The one I've been using for literally years is called Day One.

398

I've been using that basically every week since like 2014 -ish.

399

And so when you use an app, it's also nice because I tend to photograph and scan in pictures of my physical journal.

400

So I sort of do a physical and digital hybrid here.

401

And it's really cool

402

because then you can look back on stuff super easily rather than having to bust out the journals

403

and then like find stuff.

404

So yeah, having an app generally quite helpful.

405

Actionable tip number three is to get a list of prompts.

406

If you're a beginner to journaling, actually just having some good prompts is a very good way of getting started.

407

And I have linked my own favorite journaling prompts for free down below if you want to check them out.

408

It's in Google Doc that I keep updated with my with my favorite journaling prompts.

409

Actionable tip number four, and maybe they should have been number one is

410

that these days it's never been easier to start because you can always just talk to an AI.

411

My favorite AI for this is Claude, because I freaking love Claude, but you can use Claude, you can use ChatGPT, you can use Grok, you can use DeepSeek, you can use Poe, you can use freaking Gemini, you can use whatever you want.

412

You can literally talk to any AI tool and you can say I am interested in getting started with journaling, can you give me some interesting prompts?

413

And it will give you some interesting prompts

414

and then you can just talk to the AI

415

and you can do your journaling in that way if you are just getting started with it.

416

Final thing I want to talk about is journaling as a daily habit versus journaling as a deep dive

417

so the daily habit form of journaling

418

when i personally do it is like you know somewhere between two

419

and five minutes per day i don't do it every day

420

i just do most days where i'll get the notification from day one the app

421

or i'll go down to the local coffee shop with my little harry potter journal thing

422

and while drinking a coffee just do some journaling that's like a nice daily type thing

423

and i can kind of go as shallow or as deep on

424

that as i would like i think that's quite nice it's quite a nice way of building the habit

425

and maintaining the habit but what's really cool about journaling and

426

if you really really want to make specific tangible changes to

427

your life is setting out time like you know half a day

428

or like or even a couple of hours go to a new location take some journaling prompts with you

429

and you know without getting distracted by your phone actually just

430

taking two hours to almost do a mini retreat with yourself like a mini personal discovery

431

or self -discovery type retreat where in the process of going

432

to a new location outside of like your normal experience

433

and taking some journaling prompts with you with a notebook

434

and not getting distracted with your phone you're able to genuinely have insights into your life

435

that help you make decisions that help you set goals

436

and those goals ultimately lead to plans and systems

437

and then you take the actions that ultimately changes your life and

438

if you're interested in the specific approach of how to do

439

journaling on this deep dive method I have a video over here

440

that talks about the think day approach to journaling

441

and it's a video where I take you through my own

442

process for journaling across a period of like four hours don't worry the video is not four hours long

443

but I take you through my own process of journaling as

444

I go to like a new place here in Hong Kong where I live

445

and I share with you my top 10 journaling prompts

446

that I really in particular love for like the think day approach to journaling

447

so I'll be linked right over there thank you very much for watching I'll see you in the next video bye

Für wen ist dieses Video geeignet?

Wörter und Redewendungen, die sich lohnen zu stehlen

drastically change: "radikal verändern" – Beispiel: "Journaling kann dein Leben radikal verändern."
upstream of: "vorherige Stufe von" – Im Kontext: "Die Entscheidungen liegen upstream of den Handlungen."
high income skills: "hohe Einkommensfertigkeiten" – Wichtige Fähigkeiten, die gut bezahlt werden.
take seriously: "ernst nehmen" – "Glaubenssätze sind Gedanken, die wir ernster nehmen."

Wie man die Aussprache richtig bekommt

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, konzentriere dich auf die natürliche Rhythmus des Sprechers. Er spricht flüssig, mit kurzen Pausen zwischen Sätzen – übe, diese Pausen nachzuahmen. Ein hilfreicher Trick ist shadow speech (auch "shadow speak" genannt): Höre einen Satz auf, wiederhole ihn sofort nach, so nah wie möglich an Tonhöhe und Tempo. Achte besonders auf Wörter wie "journaling" (ausgesprochen /ˈdʒɜːrnəlɪŋ/) – die "j" klingt wie ein weiches "dsch", die Betonung liegt auf der ersten Silbe. Übe regelmäßig mit dem Video, um deinen Sprachfluss zu verbessern. Shadowspeaks ist eine effektive Methode, um die Aussprache und das Verständnis gleichzeitig zu trainieren – probiere es heute schon aus!

Grammatik in diesem Video

Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:

Struktur	Im Video
Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing – eine Handlung, die früher begann und noch andauert	have been journaling · you've been following · i've been journaling
Bedingungssätze if + Satz, will/would + Verb – eine Bedingung und ihre Folge	if you start doing it, it will also
Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist	has been · I've done · haven't started
Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache	career which is · thought, which is · journaling which is

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.
