Shadowing-Übung: I Got a Pet Dinosaur (kinda) - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Apparently, there's this rare species of lizard that not only looks like a dinosaur, but acts just like one.

The name of it is a thrilled dragon, and it looks very deadly.

But despite how dangerous it looks, I found this website that sells legal exotic animals, including this dinosaur, for $800.

So yeah, basically, I'm gonna buy this, build it at home, and try to keep it as a pet.

And I don't know how hard that is gonna be because as you've already seen this thing is

Literally that that thing's a demon.

I mean look at that But anyways, let's just buy this thing

and in this video I'll be judging how good of a

pet a dinosaur actually is by doing stuff like taking it outside like a dog Yeah, this video is crazy.

But before any of that I first have to wait for it to be delivered

which is going to take about a week So in the meantime, let's build this thing its dream home with everything it could possibly want and to do that Well, I've got a lot of stuff.

I first put together the glass enclosure to build the dream home inside of.

And anyways, now it's time to actually build the dream home

and to do that there's five steps starting with creating the background.

To create the background, I sprayed a ton of foam all along the glass

so I could stick a ton of wood to it.

You see, I'm basically recreating a forest in here since that's where frilled dragons live in the wild.

And to complete the forest look, I covered it in a ton of dirt and wood chips so it'd look nice and natural, you know.

As you can see this tank is already looking very very beautiful

and natural with all that wood and dirt But it's also looking a bit brown and lifeless too.

So let's get to doing some more stuff starting with the

floor Now I know I was just complaining about everything being brown

but to make the floor we do got to use some brown dirt

So yeah the cheapest way to get a bunch of quality

dirt is to use one of these compressed coconut fiber bricks Which may not seem like a lot of dirt, but if we add a huge tub of water to it well Now it's a lot of dirt.

Finally, I mixed in a bunch of other types of ground stuff because that's what forest floors got, you know?

Alright, this is starting to look almost like a forest, but we're still missing some key things.

So let's move on to step three, plants and decorations.

Now first of all, I've got two different types of moss

which to start I'll use carpet moss which comes conveniently packaged in this box.

Now I always thought moss was just like dead grass or something, but it's actually an alive organism that over time is gonna grow and overtake the entire terrarium.

Pretty cool.

And I also spread a different type of moss around to add a little bit more variety in this tank.

Now this moss is absolutely fantastical, you know, it really brings the whole thing to life.

But I'm gonna need way more plants if I'm gonna make this thing look like the dinosaur's actual habitat, which means I'm gonna go get some actual plants with leaves and flowers on them and stuff like that.

Yeah.

So of course I got in my car to go to the best plant store in town.

Bro, which

if you see my channel before you already know where I'm

going baby place your item I had some people shaming me

for going to Walmart for plants in a previous video

But clearly you guys don't understand the fantastical selection of plants they got I mean look at all these

Thanks Walmart for all these good plants

So I got a couple small plants and I also got one big one

that should make the dinosaur nice and happy and

while I was walking around There I also saw they had some plant Lego sets

which you know I like Lego of course I bought some, baby.

When I got home, I figured I should just build the Lego set real quick to see how those plants look.

So I put that all together, and then I put each of the plants inside of the enclosure and check these out.

Yo, this looks so cool.

I'm just kidding.

This actually looks pretty stupid.

I don't know why I spent $50 on this.

Get this trash out of here.

Instead, I of course got out the plants I bought and planted them around the tank.

There we go, this tank is starting to come together well now.

But in order to complete the decorations, I need to add a huge piece of wood

that goes diagonally from the bottom of the tank to the top of the tank, so that the dinosaur will be able to have easy access to the heat lamp that will be at the top.

And this is the only wood I have right now, definitely not enough to get to the top.

So in order to get some more wood, I went outside to find some.

Okay, so I basically just need to get some sort of branch that's nice and thick and long, and that's kind of too thin.

I need something that's not gonna snap under the pressure of the dinosaur, and yeah, that kind of sucks too.

But oh, this one actually looks pretty good.

Look at this, it's my hand kind of wraps around it.

That's good thickness.

So I went inside and grabbed the biggest knife from my kitchen, and I got to sign.

This should only take like 30 minutes.

I'll be done soon.

Eventually, I was able to get this fantastical piece of wood that would work perfectly.

So I quickly hosed it down to remove dirt and insects and stuff and brought it back inside.

After breaking it down so it would fit I put it in place

and covered the bottom with some more wood and boom the decorations are Complete in here, but of course I'm not just gonna leave the tank like

this We've got a first added some technologies to make this

the best enclosure ever starting with some water Technologies the first water technology I got is this little box

which is actually an automatic humidifier You see for all dragons

need the humidity in their enclosure to be pretty high

and basically this well You know it humidifies the enclosure by spraying water everywhere nice second water technology.

I got is extremely high-tech It's a water bowl.

Yeah, so you know the dinosaur can get a drink of water and stuff

Now even though I added in this amazing water dish Frildragons

actually never drink from it actually just use it as a bathroom Yeah, so to allow the dinosaur to actually get a drink of

water I got up this water pump put it in a container of water

and linked it up with some tubing now

when I turn it on It creates this nice little flow of water

which frilled dragons will actually drink from well Now there's just

one more thing to build before I add the frilled dragon in

and that is And basically what

that means is I need to recreate the Sun in this enclosure to do

that I got a heavy-duty heat lamp and an expensive top-quality UV bulb

that recreates the same UV rays at the sun does I also got another lamp with a high-intensity heat bulb

because frilled dragons like it to be extremely hot in their

homes To test the temperature I hooked up a thermometer

and as you can see it reached up to 100 degrees in the basking spot, which is perfect.

Finally, I put a bit of aluminum foil on top to keep the heat and humidity inside Okay, well the frilled dragons home is now complete

and well It's time to add it inside

and the next day I got a notification on my phone saying the package was ready for pickup

So I drove out to FedEx.

All right, so I just got back from FedEx and I just picked up this box, which is probably the frilled dragon.

I mean, it says live animal.

100

Hopefully it didn't give me the wrong package.

101

But anyways, I'm gonna take this thing inside and put it in the cage and oh, nope, there's some chickens right there.

102

Bruh.

103

I might gotta show these guys to the dinosaur.

104

They're gonna be good friends.

105

But before I do anything like that, let's just start by opening up this box.

106

Oh my gosh, I can kinda see the dinosaur right now and well, it's definitely a dinosaur.

107

Now that I have the frilled dragon, I'm gonna find out if dinosaurs are actually good pets by doing stuff like feeding it, taking it outside, and even more.

108

But first, let's get this guy in the enclosure.

109

Now, this may not look like a dinosaur just yet, but that's because its thing on its neck only comes out on special occasions.

110

But trust me, I will be showing you exactly what it looks like later in the video.

111

Okay, well, the dinosaur is in its enclosure right now, and honestly, I'm still scared to get within a five-foot radius of this thing.

112

Like, I have no idea if this is as ferocious as those videos made it out to be, But, uh, I guess we're gonna find out.

113

For now, I already know this guy is very hungry and thirsty from spending a day in that shipping container.

114

And as you can see, his water bowl is already messed up because he was, like, jumping around and pooping in there like I thought he would.

115

So to give him a drink of water, I turned my water pump on a very low setting, which made little drops of water fall above the dinosaur.

116

Immediately, he started to stick out his tongue and take little sips of it, which is actually pretty cool to watch.

117

Then, he just started to bask in it like he was taking a shower.

118

Dang, maybe this guy isn't as ferocious as I thought.

119

He actually looks pretty chill right now.

120

What?

121

Now, to feed the furled dragon, I asked the guy I bought it from which insect is the dinosaur's favorite.

122

And he said crickets are one of the best.

123

So, I got a bag of some pretty big crickets.

124

Bruh, what are these guys all running around in here for?

125

It's not like you guys gonna escape.

126

They're just jumping around.

127

Are you guys stupid?

128

And literally immediately after I put a bunch of them in, the dinosaur started to go crazy, as you can see jumping all around the enclosure to get a nice juicy meal.

129

And to show you just how cool it is when the frilled dragon hunts, I hired a professional nature documentary narrator to tell you what's going on.

130

Look at this.

131

In this small, recreated, prehistoric world, a cricket enjoys a quiet meal of moss.

132

But nearby, the frilled dragon, a creature with roots deep in ancient history, has spotted the movement.

133

Suddenly, the dragon's head snaps towards the cricket.

134

In an instant, it leaps forward, jaws closing around the cricket with precision.

135

The cricket's meal is cut short, now being completely devoured by one of nature's best hunters.

136

Now as you can see, that was very cool, and the dinosaur is a very good hunter.

137

So to rank how good of a pet this dinosaur is, I'm gonna rank a bunch of different factors, and because it was super cool watching this guy drink and eat,

138

I'm gonna give Care a 9 out of 10.

139

Yeah, 9 out of 10.

140

That's a pretty good score.

141

Good job, bro.

142

Factor that goes into a pet being good is how friendly it is and whether

143

or not I let you handle it now dogs are the perfect example of this You know they're super fluffy

144

and nice and they pretty much never bite you But for dragons on the other hand Yeah, I mean based off the videos I've seen they are not friendly at all.

145

All right.

146

This is the moment of truth I'm gonna figure out

147

if this guy's gonna let me hold him

148

and to make sure I don't get bit I've got some hand protection as you can see.

149

I'm just gonna go start by trying to pet him.

150

Okay, there we go Okay, we're petting him, and it seems like he's chill with that.

151

I'm just gonna be very gentle.

152

Oh!

153

Okay, I got very scared there for a second but

154

so yeah i was too scared to pick him up with my hand

155

so i just picked up the log he was sitting on

156

there you go good boy good boy okay we're doing it okay

157

so we're just gonna start by putting him on the kitchen table let's see stay right there

158

and there we go look at him

159

when he's out of his cage he's doing good he's just sitting there dang

160

but he's actually being a good boy

161

and the craziest thing is is you see the frill on his neck it hasn't even come out Yeah, so usually they put the frill out on their neck when they're super angry,

162

but this guy he doesn't even put it out once He's like super chill with me.

163

So he's just letting me pet him.

164

He's a good boy, bro And since the dinosaur was doing

165

so good just chilling inside I decided I would try

166

and bring him outside to let him explore the world and I'm outside with the frilled dragon Look at this.

167

He's just basking in the Sun.

168

This is awesome.

169

It's actually pretty cool He's like blending in with the log.

170

I'm pretty sure he does that to avoid any birds of prey.

171

He's normally in the wild They're like scared of birds attacking them, but right now he's just blending in with the log He's not even scared at all

172

and like I said I was going to show the frilled

173

dragon to the chickens I don't want him to get too stressed out, but I'm just gonna kind of let him see the chickens and see him over there Yeah, yeah, you see the chickens aren't they so cool?

174

Oh, they look pretty scared and oh, okay.

175

They're just running away Yeah, I think they're scared of them Okay I'm just gonna bring him back inside

176

that actually went very well and the dinosaur didn't even get mad at me once

177

but to be fair I was too scared to hold him

178

so because of that I'm giving friendliness a seven out of ten

179

And now for the final thing

180

that determines how good a pet is is to seize the reaction of my mom So yeah, I'm gonna show it to my mom, but real quick I just want to let you know

181

that only 5% of people are actually subscribed

182

And I know every youtuber says this and I said the same thing last video, but it is a real statistic So please just subscribe if you like this video.

183

Thank you very much mom.

184

Can you come in?

185

Have you seen my new pet?

186

All right, so the lizard is in this giant enclosure right here.

187

Do you see it?

188

Yeah, so yes, basically right there and And, uh, or do you know what kind of lizard it is, though?

189

It looks like a little dinosaur.

190

A dinosaur, yeah.

191

Yeah.

192

That's the, that's why I got it.

193

It looks like a dinosaur.

194

And guess how much it costs?

195

Hmm.

196

I don't know.

197

It costs $800.

198

No, it did not.

199

It costs $800.

200

That's not even funny.

201

It did, but this is the new addition to the family.

202

All right.

203

What's the name?

204

It doesn't have a name.

205

Oh, Mr. Prehistoric.

206

You want to name him Mr. Prehistoric?

207

Mr. Prehistoric.

208

That's a stupid name.

209

So what are you rated out of 10?

210

You're pretty cool for historic 10 10 out of 10 10 out of 10.

211

Okay, bye thanks So she actually ended up liking it

212

and gave it a 10 out of 10

213

That means the average score for the pet dinosaur is 8.7 out of 10

214

So that means this is actually a very very good pet I recommend it to anybody

215

that can afford it which is nobody because who's gonna spend $800 on the lizard?

216

Anyways, I know I said

217

that the dinosaur would be showing his neck frill a lot in this video

218

Which he hasn't yet so to try

219

and make him do it I got a scary picture on my phone and showed it to him and

220

He didn't really care so I tried getting another picture of a bird predator this time which Yeah, he didn't care about that either.

221

So sorry guys.

222

I lied.

223

Mr Prehistoric is not going to show his role in this video

224

But that is a good thing anyways because it means he likes me

225

and he isn't stressed at all So thank you everybody for watching today.

226

We figured out that dinosaurs are actually very good pets.

227

It's pretty cool Yeah, make sure you subscribe click the video on the screen and yeah, bye.

228

He's a good boy.

229

He's a good boy.

230

You're a good boy, bro.

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.
