Shadowing-Übung: How to Stay Consistent in English Learning | A2–B1 Listening Practice - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Have you ever started something with a lot of energy and then stopped after a few days?
2
Oh, yes.
3
You feel excited at the beginning.
4
You think, this time I'm really going to do it.
5
Maybe you start learning English every day.
6
Or you join a gym.
7
Or you decide to start running.
8
Mmm, that sounds familiar.
9
We'll come back to that.
10
The first day feels great.
11
New plan, new energy, new life.
12
Monday, I am unstoppable.
13
Tuesday, still strong.
14
Wednesday.
15
Wednesday is already asking difficult questions.
16
And by Friday, the new life has disappeared.
17
Completely.
18
If that happens to you, you're definitely not alone.
19
And today we're going to talk about something really useful – how to stay consistent.
20
Consistent?
21
To be consistent means to keep doing something regularly, even when you don't feel very motivated.
22
Ah, so not doing something perfectly.
23
Exactly.
24
Just continuing.
25
And of course, while we talk about it, you're also practicing your English.
26
We'll keep the English clear and simple, around A2 to B1 level.
27
So you don't need to understand every single word.
28
Just listen, relax, and follow the conversation.
29
And if you learn something useful about your life, too.
30
Even better.
31
And today's walk actually starts in a very normal place for us.
32
We've just arrived back in Cambridge after spending some time in London.
33
And London was great, but very loud.
34
Very loud.
35
People everywhere, trains, cars, noise.
36
You sound about eighty years old.
37
I like peace.
38
I know.
39
So we've just left Canebridge Railway Station, and now we're walking along Station Road.
40
There are lots of modern office buildings around us here.
41
And we're going to walk all the way home.
42
Which we do almost every time.
43
Yes.
44
We could take transport.
45
But apparently walking is part of our personality now.
46
Maybe.
47
And when we get home?
48
Dinner.
49
Pasta bolognese.
50
Very important motivation.
51
Actually, food is one thing we are pretty consistent with.
52
Eating?
53
Well, yes, but I mean cooking.
54
That's true.
55
We cook a lot because we try to eat quite healthily.
56
And that's interesting because there are other things we were not always consistent with.
57
Gym.
58
I wasn't going to say it.
59
I know you were.
60
Victoria has started going to the gym more than once.
61
Excuse me?
62
Started.
63
Mm-hmm.
64
Stopped.
65
Okay, fair.
66
But I can't laugh too much.
67
I did exactly the same thing with running.
68
Oh, yes.
69
I started running.
70
Then I stopped.
71
Then I started again.
72
Then I stopped again.
73
A very consistent pattern of being inconsistent.
74
That's actually impressive.
75
In a strange way.
76
But eventually something changed.
77
Now I run regularly, and I train regularly too.
78
And if you don't have time to go to the gym...
79
I train at home.
80
And that's the interesting question.
81
What changed?
82
Why do some habits disappear after one week, while other habits stay for years?
83
Hmm.
84
And we're also trying to learn Spanish now too.
85
Trying is the important word.
86
Very important.
87
Some weeks we're excellent students.
88
And some weeks Spanish does not know where we are.
89
So today, while we walk home through Cambridge, we're going to look at why consistency is so difficult.
90
And how to make it easier.
91
So where do we start?
92
With one of the biggest mistakes people make. Which is?
93
They start too big.
94
They start too big?
95
Yes.
96
People often feel very motivated at the beginning, so they make a huge plan.
97
Ah, yes.
98
From tomorrow, English for two hours every day.
99
Exactly.
100
Gym five times a week. Of course.
101
No sugar, no fast food, eight hours of sleep, ten thousand steps.
102
Slava, that is not a new habit.
103
That is a new life.
104
I like ambitious plans.
105
I know.
106
You love planning everything.
107
Plans are beautiful.
108
Until real life arrives.
109
Fair point.
110
And that is the problem.
111
A big plan can feel exciting on day one.
112
But on a busy day… It suddenly feels difficult.
113
Hmm.
114
I did that with running many times.
115
You did.
116
I would decide.
117
Right.
118
Now I'm going to run regularly.
119
New shoes.
120
Sometimes.
121
New plan.
122
Always.
123
Very important.
124
And then maybe I ran too much at the beginning.
125
I felt tired.
126
Work became busy.
127
The weather was bad.
128
And suddenly running disappeared.
129
Very quietly.
130
But now I do it differently.
131
What changed?
132
I stopped thinking that every workout had to be a perfect workout.
133
Ah, that's important.
134
Practically, if I have time, I go to the gym.
135
And if you don't?
136
Simple.
137
I train at home.
138
So the habit stays.
139
Exactly.
140
And that is the idea.
141
Make the habit small enough that you can continue even on an ordinary day.
142
So, how does that work with English?
143
Don't begin with, I will study English for two hours every single day.
144
But that sounds very serious.
145
Serious, yes.
146
Realistic?
147
Maybe not.
148
Especially after work.
149
Exactly.
150
Maybe start with ten minutes.
151
Only ten?
152
Yes.
153
Ten minutes of listening, a short conversation, a few pages, a little speaking practice.
154
Something I can actually do.
155
That's the key.
156
But isn't more always better?
157
More can be better when you have the time and energy,
158
but consistency is more important than one huge study day followed by six days of nothing.
159
Ah, my famous Sunday plan.
160
Three hours of English on Sunday.
161
And then absolutely nothing until the next Sunday.
162
Exactly.
163
So, a little bit every day can be stronger than a lot once in a while.
164
Yes, because you're building a routine.
165
Routine.
166
A routine is something you do regularly, often at the same time or in the same situation.
167
Like cooking dinner.
168
Exactly.
169
We don't wake up every day and ask, hmm, should we eat today?
170
Let me check my motivation.
171
No, we just cook because it's part of normal life.
172
Right.
173
And learning can become more like that too.
174
That's probably why healthy eating became easier for us.
175
Yes, we cook so often now that we don't need a big decision every evening.
176
Although tonight's Bolognese is a very easy decision.
177
Definitely.
178
I think I'm becoming more consistent with walking home because dinner is waiting at the end.
179
So your real system is food.
180
Very advanced psychology. Of course.
181
But there is still a problem.
182
Saying, I'll study for 10 minutes is easy.
183
What's the problem?
184
Because if I just say, I'll do it later… Later can become very late. Or tomorrow.
185
Or next Monday.
186
Exactly.
187
So, once the habit is small enough, the next step is to give it a clear place in your day.
188
A clear place in my day?
189
Yes, because I'll study English later sounds like a plan, but it isn't really a plan.
190
Ah, later again.
191
Our old friend.
192
Very unreliable person.
193
Extremely unreliable.
194
So what should I say instead?
195
Make it specific.
196
Decide when you're going to do it.
197
I'll practice English after breakfast.
198
Good.
199
Or I'll listen to English while I walk to work.
200
Even better.
201
Why better?
202
Because now the new habit is connected to something you already do.
203
Ah, so I don't need to create a completely new part of my day.
204
Exactly.
205
You attach the new habit to an old habit.
206
Attach it?
207
Connect it.
208
For example, morning coffee plus ten minutes of English.
209
Coffee and English.
210
Finally, a learning method I understand.
211
I knew coffee would get your attention.
212
Education is important.
213
Coffee is more important.
214
I did not say that.
215
You didn't need to.
216
Actually, we could do the same with Spanish.
217
Mmm, yes, we probably should.
218
is also a dangerous word.
219
Okay, okay.
220
So maybe after dinner, ten minutes of Spanish.
221
That could work.
222
Every day?
223
Let's not become too ambitious again.
224
Good point.
225
We just finished that lesson.
226
And this idea works because you don't have to remember the habit from nothing.
227
Something else reminds me.
228
Exactly.
229
Mist reminds you.
230
Coffee reminds you.
231
Your walk reminds you.
232
Brushing your teeth can remind you.
233
English immediately after brushing my teeth?
234
Why not?
235
Very fresh pronunciation.
236
I think planning really helps me with this.
237
Helps is a very small word for what planning means to you.
238
Excuse me?
239
You plan everything.
240
Not everything.
241
Holidays.
242
Yes.
243
Shopping.
244
Sometimes.
245
Workouts.
246
Okay.
247
And you're much more spontaneous.
248
I am.
249
Which is a nice way to say, I'll decide five minutes before.
250
Sometimes five minutes is enough. For you.
251
But actually, both styles can work.
252
You don't need a complicated schedule.
253
So I don't need a spreadsheet.
254
No spreadsheet.
255
This lesson is becoming difficult.
256
You only need a simple answer to three questions.
257
What will I do?
258
When will I do it?
259
And where will I do it?
260
What, when, where?
261
Exactly.
262
I'll listen to English for ten minutes after breakfast, at the kitchen table.
263
Perfect.
264
That is much stronger than, I'll study more English.
265
Because study more English sounds good, but your brain still doesn't know what to do.
266
My brain needs instructions.
267
Very simple instructions.
268
Preferably with pictures.
269
And I guess our walk from the station is a habit like that too.
270
It is.
271
We arrive at Cambridge Station, and most of the time we just start walking home.
272
We don't really discuss it anymore.
273
Exactly.
274
It's already part of the routine.
275
Hmm, that's probably what we want with English, too.
276
Yes.
277
The less you need to decide every day, the easier it is to continue.
278
But even with a good routine, life happens. Of course.
279
You get tired, you come home late, you have a busy day.
280
Sometimes you just miss it.
281
And missing one day is not the real problem.
282
It isn't.
283
No. The dangerous part is what happens after that missed day.
284
Ah, so what should we do?
285
Make sure one missed day does not become two.
286
One missed day should not become two.
287
Exactly.
288
Missing one day is normal.
289
Life happens.
290
You get home late.
291
You feel tired.
292
Or your sofa suddenly becomes extremely comfortable.
293
Very dangerous.
294
Especially after dinner.
295
Especially after bolognese.
296
Good point.
297
But one missed day does not destroy your habit.
298
So I shouldn't think, oh no, I failed.
299
No, that's often where people make the problem bigger.
300
How?
301
Simple.
302
They miss Monday and then they feel bad.
303
So they miss Tuesday too.
304
Exactly.
305
Then Wednesday.
306
Mm-hmm.
307
Then suddenly it's October.
308
Yes, and they say, I'll start again in January.
309
A fresh year, a fresh person.
310
We've met that person before.
311
Many times.
312
So a useful rule is very simple.
313
If you miss once, try not to miss twice.
314
Don't miss twice.
315
Exactly.
316
So if I planned 10 minutes of English tonight, but I'm exhausted.
317
Fine.
318
Rest.
319
That's allowed?
320
Of course it's allowed.
321
Excellent lesson.
322
But tomorrow… I come back.
323
Exactly.
324
I think that's what eventually changed for me with exercise, too.
325
Hmm.
326
Explain.
327
Before, if I missed one workout, I sometimes felt like the whole week was ruined.
328
Ah, yes.
329
Well, I've already failed.
330
Exactly.
331
Very logical.
332
Completely logical.
333
Now, if I can't go to the gym, I might train at home.
334
And if I really can't train that day, I just continue the next day.
335
That's consistency.
336
Not perfection.
337
Exactly.
338
Some people use calendars for this, don't they?
339
Yes.
340
You can put a little mark on the calendar every day you practice.
341
Like a chain.
342
Right.
343
One day, then another, then another.
344
Ah, now we're talking a system, a calendar, marks.
345
Of course you like this.
346
Organization.
347
Slava has found his happy place.
348
Can I make a spreadsheet too?
349
No. Why does this podcast hate spreadsheets?
350
Okay, a calendar is enough.
351
And the important thing is not the perfect chain.
352
It's seeing that you're coming back again and again.
353
So, if there's one empty day...
354
Nothing terrible happened.
355
Just don't let one empty day become a whole empty week.
356
Exactly.
357
But I think there's another question.
358
What's that?
359
I think, why am I doing all this in the first place?
360
Ah, that's a very important question.
361
Because I should improve my English sounds good.
362
But it may not be strong enough on a difficult day.
363
So I need a real reason.
364
Yes, your reason, your why. For example?
365
Maybe you want to speak more confidently at work.
366
Maybe you want to travel and speak to people without feeling nervous.
367
Maybe you live in an English-speaking country and want everyday life to feel easier.
368
Or you want to understand films, podcasts, and real conversations.
369
Exactly.
370
That's much more personal than just saying, I need better English.
371
And personal reasons are easier to remember when motivation disappears.
372
Because motivation has a habit of disappearing.
373
Especially on cold, dark mornings.
374
Very British problem.
375
Very British.
376
So, when I don't feel like practicing, I can remind myself why I started.
377
Exactly.
378
And what if progress feels really slow?
379
Then you need to learn how to notice the small wins.
380
Small wins?
381
Yes, because if you only wait for one huge result, you may miss all the progress you're already making.
382
Small wins?
383
Yes.
384
Small signs that you are improving, even if you are not at your final goal yet.
385
Hmm.
386
I think people often ignore those.
387
They do.
388
They only look at the big goal.
389
I want to speak perfect English.
390
Perfect?
391
OK, very good English.
392
Better.
393
But if that goal feels very far away, it can be difficult to see progress.
394
Exactly.
395
So notice the small things.
396
Like what?
397
Maybe you understand a sentence today that was difficult last month.
398
Or I watch a video and use subtitles less.
399
Yes.
400
Or someone asks me a question in English, and I answer without panicking.
401
That is definitely a win.
402
Especially the without panicking part.
403
Sometimes improvement is so small that you don't notice it day by day.
404
Exactly.
405
That is why it helps to look back sometimes.
406
Look back?
407
Think about where you were three months ago or six months ago.
408
Maybe something that feels easy now was difficult before.
409
Exactly.
410
Mike, our Spanish.
411
Oh?
412
A few months ago, we knew almost nothing.
413
Now we know slightly more than almost nothing.
414
Progress.
415
Small wins, remember?
416
Fair enough.
417
And when you notice a small win, enjoy it.
418
Celebrate it?
419
Yes.
420
Yes.
421
Not necessarily with a huge party.
422
Ah!
423
You understood a podcast, Slava.
424
We are not renting a nightclub.
425
I was thinking of a small cake.
426
A small cake is more realistic.
427
Good.
428
Celebrating can simply mean saying, that was better than last time.
429
So instead of always asking, why am I not fluent yet?
430
what can I do now that I couldn't do before?
431
Ah, that question feels much more positive.
432
And much more useful.
433
Is there anything else that helps people stay consistent?
434
Yes.
435
Don't always do it alone.
436
You mean study with another person?
437
That can help.
438
A friend, a partner, a teacher, an online group.
439
Anyone who knows what you are trying to do.
440
So, somebody can ask, did you practice today?
441
Exactly.
442
Hmm, dangerous.
443
Only if you didn't practice.
444
When another person knows your goal, it can be easier to keep going.
445
Because I feel some responsibility.
446
Yes.
447
Responsibility means you feel that you should do what you said you would do.
448
I think we do that with each other sometimes.
449
Sometimes.
450
Especially with the gym.
451
Again?
452
Sorry.
453
This is becoming a dangerous walk for you.
454
At least your running habit will be useful.
455
Very good.
456
But seriously, doing something together can make it more enjoyable, too.
457
Like learning Spanish together.
458
Yes.
459
We can practice a few words, laugh at our mistakes, remind each other.
460
And both forget together.
461
Also possible.
462
What if someone doesn't have a study partner?
463
That's fine.
464
You can still create a feeling of support.
465
How?
466
Practically.
467
Join a learning community.
468
Leave comments under videos.
469
Tell someone what your goal is.
470
Even writing your plan down can make it feel more real.
471
So consistency becomes easier when the habit is not completely invisible.
472
Exactly.
473
You can see it.
474
Other people can see it.
475
You feel connected to it.
476
Hmm.
477
Small wins, support, a clear reason, a simple routine.
478
We're building quite a system.
479
We are.
480
I knew a system would appear eventually.
481
You're happy now.
482
Very.
483
But there is still one problem.
484
Let me guess.
485
Real life again.
486
Exactly.
487
Because even with a good plan, some days are just difficult.
488
Yes.
489
You're tired, busy, stressed.
490
Maybe you have almost no motivation.
491
So, what do we do on those days?
492
That is where consistency really matters, because on a difficult day, doing a little is often much better than doing nothing.
493
So, on a difficult day, doing a little is still better than doing nothing.
494
Exactly.
495
And I think this is one of the most important ideas in the whole conversation.
496
Because difficult days are always going to happen.
497
Yes.
498
You cannot build a routine that only works when life is perfect.
499
Because life has clearly not agreed to be perfect.
500
No. Life did not sign that agreement.
501
Very disappointing.
502
Maybe you planned 30 minutes of English, but you come home exhausted.
503
Then don't force yourself to do 30. Do 10?
504
Maybe 10. Or 5?
505
5 is fine.
506
5 minutes?
507
That's almost nothing.
508
But it is not nothing.
509
Ah, that's the point.
510
Exactly.
511
You are telling yourself, this habit still matters.
512
I'm still here.
513
I think that works with exercise too.
514
Definitely.
515
If I don't have time for a full gym session, I can do something at home.
516
And the habit continues.
517
Maybe not the greatest workout of my life.
518
No dramatic music?
519
No dramatic music.
520
But I did something.
521
And sometimes consistency means changing the size of the habit, not giving up the habit completely.
522
Hmm.
523
I like that.
524
Good.
525
But there's another thing that can make people want to give up.
526
Comparing themselves to other people?
527
Ah, you knew.
528
It's very common.
529
You open social media and see someone speaking beautiful English.
530
Or someone who studies for two hours every day.
531
And suddenly my ten minutes looks terrible.
532
But you don't know their whole story.
533
Maybe they've been learning for ten years.
534
Exactly.
535
Maybe they have more free time.
536
Maybe they use English at work every day.
537
So, comparing my beginning with someone else's middle isn't very fair.
538
Exactly.
539
Who should I compare myself with then?
540
Yourself.
541
Very convenient.
542
I know that person.
543
Hopefully.
544
So, ask, am I a little better than I was before?
545
Yes.
546
Maybe you understand more.
547
Maybe speaking feels easier.
548
Maybe you're less afraid of mistakes.
549
Maybe I now practice four days a week instead of one.
550
That's real progress.
551
Hmm.
552
So, consistency is really less exciting than motivation.
553
Much less exciting.
554
No fireworks?
555
No fireworks.
556
No inspirational movie music?
557
Probably not.
558
It's just doing something again tomorrow.
559
and then doing it again the next day.
560
That's actually how we got from Cambridge Station all the way almost home.
561
Oh, you're right.
562
We're nearly home now.
563
The busy part around the station is behind us now.
564
It's quieter here, much more residential.
565
Much more Cambridge after a noisy day in London.
566
Ah, Grandpa Slava is happy again.
567
Peace is a luxury.
568
Although we're not going straight home.
569
No. We have an important final mission.
570
The supermarket.
571
Exactly.
572
Very exciting ending.
573
We need a few things for dinner.
574
Because the Bolognese is still waiting for us.
575
I've been thinking about it for most of this podcast.
576
I noticed.
577
Before we disappear into the shop, let's quickly remember what we've talked about today.
578
Good idea.
579
First, start small.
580
Don't create a huge plan that you cannot keep.
581
Give the habit a clear place in your day.
582
Decide what you'll do, when you'll do it and where.
583
Connect the new habit to something you already do.
584
Coffee and English, walking and English, breakfast and English.
585
Bolognese and English?
586
Maybe after dinner.
587
If you miss one day… Don't let it become two.
588
Remember why you started.
589
Remember your small wins.
590
Get support if you can.
591
And on a hard day, make the habit smaller instead of disappearing completely.
592
Hmm, that's a pretty good system.
593
And no spreadsheet was needed.
594
We were so close.
595
And here's a little challenge for you.
596
Choose one small English habit for the next seven days.
597
Maybe ten minutes of listening.
598
Five minutes of speaking.
599
One page of reading.
600
Keep it small.
601
Keep it realistic.
602
And tell us in the comments what English habit are you going to try?
603
We really want to know.
604
And if you miss one day… You already know the rule.
605
Don't miss twice.
606
Exactly.
607
Well, we're almost home.
608
First the shop, then Bolognese, and then I think we've earned a quiet evening.
609
Unless you suddenly decide to make another plan.
610
I already have one.
611
Oh no, what is it?
612
Dryly playful.
613
Eat dinner.
614
Finally, a plan I completely support.
615
Thanks for walking home through Cambridge with us today.
616
Slow English.
617
Real conversations.
618
Real progress.
619
If you enjoyed this walk, give the video a like, subscribe and come with us again next time.
620
And now we're going shopping.
621
See you on the next walk.
622
Bye.

Warum lernen Sie Englisch mit diesem Video?
Dieses Video ist ideal für Lerner auf A2-B1-Niveau, da es nicht nur praktische Tipps zum Konsequentbleiben im Englischlernen gibt, sondern auch in einem natürlichen Kontext gesprochen wird. Die Gesprächsführung ist klar und einfach, so dass Sie sich aufs Zuhören und Nachahmen konzentrieren können – perfekt fürs shadowspeak oder shadow speech. Indem Sie der Unterhaltung folgen, trainieren Sie nicht nur Ihr Hörverständnis, sondern lernen auch, wie alltägliche Sätze in realen Situationen verwendet werden. Das macht es zu einem ausgezeichneten Werkzeug, um Englisch mit Videos zu lernen und gleichzeitig Ihre Gesprächsfertigkeiten zu verbessern.
Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext
Im Video tauchen mehrere nützliche Strukturen auf, die Sie im Alltag verwenden können:
- "Have you ever started something...": Diese Frageform hilft, Erfahrungen zu beschreiben. Sie eignet sich gut, um Gespräche zu initiieren und ist für Lerner auf A2-B1-Niveau einfach zu verstehen.
- "to be consistent with...": Der Ausdruck "konsequent sein bei etwas" wird hier oft verwendet. Beispiel: "We are pretty consistent with eating" – eine einfache Möglichkeit, Gewohnheiten zu beschreiben.
- "I did exactly the same thing with...": Diese Phrase hilft, Parallelen zu ziehen. Sie ist flexibel und kann in vielen Situationen eingesetzt werden, um zu zeigen, dass man ähnliche Erfahrungen gemacht hat.
Häufige Aussprachefallen
Einige Wörter im Video können für Lerner schwierig sein. Achten Sie auf:
- "consistent": Die Aussprache /kənˈsɪstənt/ hat eine betonte Silbe auf "sis". Vorsicht, nicht zu "kon-sis-tent" zu sagen, sondern die Betonung richtig zu setzen.
- "bolognese": Oft falsch ausgesprochen – die richtige Art ist /ˌbɒləˈneɪz/. Achten Sie auf das "e" am Ende, das nicht zu stark betont wird.
- "Cambridge": Die britische Aussprache /ˈkæmbrɪdʒ/ hat eine "m" und "b" hintereinander. Vermeiden Sie, es zu "Käm-bridge" zu verzerren.
Um Ihre Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, probieren Sie das shadowing aus: Hören Sie einen Satz im Video, pausieren Sie und wiederholen Sie ihn sofort. Das hilft, Rhythmus und Intonation zu lernen – und mit Übung wird es immer leichter!
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 | they've been learning · I've been thinking |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | has disappeared · We've just arrived · we've just left |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is connected · was ruined · was needed |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | Anyone who knows · someone who studies |
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.
