Shadowing-Übung: Learn English while I clean my house | Comprehensible Input - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

My house

is a mess.

I need to clean it before 8.30pm tonight because my friends are coming for dinner.

But I would love some company.

You, join me.

We'll learn lots of English.

But first, fuel.

Music please.

I am ready.

Let's learn some English.

This is a mug.

This is the handle of the mug.

I can see you through the handle.

This is a coffee pod and I lift up the handle and put the coffee pod inside the coffee machine.

In this little plastic tank, I just filled up the water.

Right, I need to get my mind clear before I tidy up, so...

So my first task of the day is to wash the dishes.

I have my dirty dishes and I'm putting them in the sink.

I have a scourer or a scourer sponge.

The soft part is the sponge, the rough part is the scourer.

This is the tap where the water comes out.

This is the sink and under the sink is where I keep my bottle of washing up liquid.

I am squeezing the washing up liquid onto the sponge and the scourer.

I'm picking up the bowl and inside the bowl these are called suds.

Soap suds.

I need to rinse off the soap suds so I'll turn on the tap and I'm rinsing off the soap suds.

Now I can put this watermelon bowl on the drying rack.

One more thing.

In the UK we say to do the washing up.

So right now I am doing the washing up or I am washing up.

Ouch!

The pattern of this cup or goblet is spotty.

Polka dots.

This is a polka dot pattern.

Very stylish.

and this is a glass jar that had coconut yogurt inside.

I have just washed it because I'm going to recycle this glass to save planet Earth.

Here I have four spoons.

These are known as dessert spoons.

You can also spoon someone.

If you spoon someone, you are laying behind them cuddling like two spoons.

Very cute.

This is a fork and I won't tell you about what forking is.

This is a plug hole.

Now I am wiping down the worktop.

This is the worktop and I am wiping it down.

To wipe down is like a thorough clean of something.

To wipe is just a small wipe.

You can wipe your forehead or wipe an ant off the side.

And while I'm here, I have some cool kitchen words to teach you.

This is for soup and it's called a ladle, a ladle.

And it rhymes with table, a ladle.

This little thing is called a spatula.

A spatula.

And that rhymes with Dracula.

This is a whisk.

And you whisk scrambled eggs.

This is a sieve.

Spelled S-E-I-V-E.

Very weird word, but we pronounce it sieve.

These are tongs.

You pick things up with the tongs.

I would never pick up a scourer normally, but for demonstration purposes, I am picking up the scourer with the tongs.

And I think that is it.

I've just been for a long weekend away and I still haven't unpacked so let's do that now.

What is in my suitcase?

Let's find out.

First we have a wash bag.

This is where my toothbrush, my mouthwash, my toiletries go.

I'll put that in the bathroom later.

This is a grey pair of socks And this is a mustard pair of socks.

These socks are for when I'm feeling a little more garish.

Garish means bright and showy.

I don't often wear mustard socks, only on special occasions.

Next is a t-shirt.

This is a grey t-shirt.

I'm wearing a shirt, a long-sleeved shirt.

This is a short-sleeved t-shirt.

My t-shirt is clean because I didn't wear it during my weekend away.

So I will fold it.

I'm folding my t-shirt and I'll put it in a neat pile.

What are these?

Not a trouser, but a pair of trousers or trousers.

This is a pair of trousers and for my Vietnamese students out there, remember your S.

Trousers.

Nice one.

I'll fold these.

I'm folding my trousers.

Not very well.

Next, I won't show you these for very long, but it's a pair of boxes.

Underwear.

This is a vest.

And the shop it's from is H&M.

This is a label.

The label goes inside of your clothes.

I'm folding the vest and putting it on the pile.

Some more boxes, you don't need to see them.

This side of the suitcase is empty.

100

Now I will open this compartment and in this compartment I have some dirty clothes.

101

Clothes that I have already worn.

102

Alright, so these clothes are going to go in the laundry basket, but first I'll show you them.

103

This is a jumper.

104

A jumper.

105

In America they say sweater.

106

This I'm going to scrunch up into a ball and toss it or throw it aside because that's dirty.

107

Here is another shirt but this shirt is short sleeved.

108

This is a short sleeved shirt and FYI for your information this part of the shirt is called a collar.

109

And these small parts which I'm not gonna undo are the buttons.

110

The buttons.

111

I'll see if I can show you that more clearly.

112

This is a button.

113

And the verb you use is to unbutton or button up.

114

Right now I'm buttoning up my shirt.

115

Lovely.

116

The suitcase is unpacked.

117

Wonderful.

118

Now I need to put the dirty clothes in the laundry basket

119

and put the clean clothes in my wardrobe so let's do that now.

120

Dirty clothes, dirty clothes, dirty clothes go in the laundry basket.

121

This is the laundry basket.

122

I'll deal with you later.

123

Next I'm going to put my clean clothes away.

124

This is my pile of clean clothes.

125

They are neatly folded.

126

This is the label.

127

Now I have two choices.

128

I can put them in the drawer.

129

Close the drawer.

130

Or I can put them in the wardrobe.

131

Right now my clothes are hanging up in this wardrobe.

132

They are hanging on coat hangers.

133

I'm going to hang my shirt up on this coat hanger.

134

Here's the shirt and I'm hanging it on the coat hanger and putting it away in my wardrobe.

135

Wonderful!

136

No, actually, there.

137

I have unpacked my suitcase, I have put it away on top of the wardrobe.

138

Now let's tick that off the list.

139

Alright, oh my gosh, this is dusty.

140

I need to dust this wardrobe.

141

But I don't have a feather duster.

142

Normally people dust with a feather duster.

143

I don't have one, so I'm going to use...

144

Ah!

145

Wet wipes.

146

We call these wet wipes or baby wipes.

147

I'm gonna use these to dust my dusty wardrobe.

148

I'm opening the wet wipes, taking one out and wiping away the dust.

149

You can see this is where the dust is and when I wipe it with the wet wipe, it disappears. Or does it?

150

That is minging.

151

Minging is UK slang for disgusting.

152

You can also say it's manky.

153

I remember the word manky as a classic British slang word.

154

Manky.

155

I'm going to put this in the bin.

156

I've just dusted the wardrobe.

157

Next I need to clear the floor.

158

Oh, wait.

159

These dishes from earlier are dry.

160

So first I'll put them away.

161

This is a chopping board.

162

This is a plate and that goes in the cupboard.

163

This sound is called clanking.

164

The plates are clanking together.

165

Clank, clank, clank, clank, scoob.

166

Alright.

167

Next is a colander.

168

Don't use a colander as a hat.

169

It's not very effective.

170

The rain can still seep through.

171

Use it to drain your pasta.

172

I'll pop this in the drawer.

173

I'm putting the colander inside, closing the drawer.

174

This is the drawer handle.

175

This is a pot or a saucepan.

176

I'm holding the wooden handles.

177

Let's put this away.

178

This mother lover is a cheese grater.

179

You grate cheese with the cheese grater.

180

I'm not going to grate it because that would be a waste of cheese and I bloody love cheese.

181

Well, I'm a little bit knackered so I'm going to take a quick rest.

182

All right, feeling good.

183

Let's get back to it.

184

As you can see, my floor is a mess.

185

There is a massage ball, a foam roller, and a kettlebell.

186

Just do a few squats.

187

One and two and three and four.

188

Alright, that's enough of that.

189

Right, let's get down here.

190

I need to hoover this floor.

191

I need to vacuum it.

192

We say hoover in the UK.

193

So I'll clear these up.

194

I'll put the foam roller and the massage ball under my desk.

195

Clean and tidy.

196

One of my favourite quotes from my old teachers was A tidy room is a tidy mind.

197

you The

198

I'm sorry.

199

All right.

200

Tidy.

201

It's funny how tidying your place really does make you feel better.

202

It always makes me feel less cluttered in my mind.

203

Like suddenly I can just think so much clearer than when the place was messy.

204

But clearing the floor is just half the battle.

205

Now it's time for the main event.

206

This is Harry the Hoover.

207

Everybody, Harry.

208

Harry, everybody.

209

Hello everybody!

210

Harry lives in my cupboard.

211

But sir, I hate it in the cupboard.

212

I think he likes it.

213

Occasionally, I let him out to eat all the dust and crumbs on my floor.

214

Oh, I hate the dust.

215

Don't make me eat the dust again, sir.

216

He loves it.

217

Right, Harry, say goodbye.

218

You're going back in the cupboard.

219

No sir, please, not the cupboard again.

220

No please, not the...

221

Let's get you out of there, come on, come with me.

222

Right, I've hoovered the apartment and it is looking spick and span.

223

Spick and span means spotlessly clean.

224

Now, this is the hob.

225

In the UK we call this a hob.

226

The hob is the flat cooking surface above an oven or on top of the counter.

227

I put pots and pans on the hob,

228

but my hob is a little bit dirty so I need to clean it.

229

This hob is dirty, filthy.

230

You can see the streak marks on the hob.

231

So I need kitchen cleaner and Kitchen roll!

232

Give it a shake, take off the lid, see ya!

233

Put it down, pick it up, tear off a piece.

234

Get ready, foam!

235

Wipe!

236

This is wiping and this is scrubbing and when you scrub really hard it's called elbow grease.

237

I'm giving it some elbow grease.

238

Elbow grease.

239

What's next?

240

Alright.

241

Rubbish.

242

This is in a black bin back and it's going outside and you're coming with me.

243

Let's get out of here!

244

Open that with my elbow.

245

There we go.

246

Look at that.

247

Skills.

248

Hello!

249

Oh, forgot my card.

250

I guess we're running down the stairs.

251

Two fire extinguishers.

252

A staircase.

253

It's dark.

254

This is a green waste bin.

255

I'm opening it, the lid, putting in my bin bag.

256

Okay, close that.

257

Get out of here.

258

Oh, right.

259

This may look like a normal sofa, but somebody tells me it's a magic sofa.

260

Look what happens.

261

Looks like a normal sofa.

262

Let's take a look.

263

Magic.

264

Well, I've transported to my bedroom.

265

I'm on my bed.

266

Let's make it.

267

Alright, where can I put you?

268

I'll put you there, I guess.

269

So, on my bed, I have a duvet.

270

Ends with a T, it's a French word, sounds funny.

271

Duvet, but we say duvet, like the French.

272

This is a pillow.

273

The pillow is inside the pillowcase.

274

I'm taking the pillowcase off the pillow.

275

When you want to take off your bedding, all of this is called bedding, we say to strip your bed, not to strip your clothes.

276

That's something very different.

277

Not for this YouTube channel.

278

This duvet cover has a zip.

279

I'm unzipping the duvet cover and taking out the duvet.

280

Again, this is the duvet.

281

I actually used to work in a bed and breakfast, which is like somebody's house mixed with a hotel.

282

You stay overnight and they serve you breakfast.

283

And I used to be the chambermaid, which is the person who cleans the rooms.

284

And yeah, I got quite good at making beds.

285

Some might say I am a pro at making beds.

286

One thing that I do love to do is to make my own bed every morning.

287

It's the first thing I do on a morning

288

and I like to do it because it sets my day up for success.

289

If I begin the day with intention and awareness, then that carries into the rest of my day.

290

This is the mattress.

291

This is a mattress topper, which is like a soft topping for your mattress so your bottom is comfortable.

292

This is the bed sheet and I'm taking off the bed sheet.

293

You would say I'm stripping the bed one-handed because my other hand is holding your eyes.

294

Okay, I'm gonna throw that over there.

295

This is the head of the bed.

296

The bedhead.

297

A bedhead is also when you've slept all night and you wake up and your hair is messy.

298

You call this a bedhead.

299

Alright, let's get rid of my bedhead.

300

Neaten my hair while I'm on the bed.

301

This This is a bedside table where you put usually a lamp,

302

a book, your phone, an alarm clock, a watch, or a glass of water.

303

This is the leg.

304

There are four legs on a bed, just like your legs.

305

Legs, leg.

306

Go!

307

Well, at this point in the video, my microphone decided to stop working.

308

Actually, it was my fault.

309

Anyway, here's some fun music, and me frantically trying to make my bed in record timing.

310

Go, go, go!

311

You got this!

312

Don't be slow now!

313

Come on, lad, make that in bed!

314

You don't got all day!

315

Oh, I'm knackered.

316

I might just have a cheeky little nap.

317

I'll see you guys in five minutes

318

That was a lovely nap.

319

I feel refreshed, revitalized and rejuvenated.

320

Now, I've not got much left to do on my list, just a few bits and bobs.

321

Bits and bobs is a very British saying and it means little things, small tasks.

322

So I'm going to go do my bits and bobs now.

323

First, I need to untangle the wires.

324

Look at that.

325

Messy.

326

There are lots of tangled wires.

327

So I'm going to organize them.

328

This is my Sony speaker.

329

Love this thing.

330

Right now it's plugged in.

331

It's charging, you may say.

332

I'm gonna unplug that.

333

This is the extension socket, and you plug the charger into the extension socket.

334

This is the power button.

335

Turn off, turn on.

336

You can also turn a person on, and if you're a more advanced learner, you'll know what that means.

337

This wire is tangled, so I'm untangling the wire.

338

I just untangled the wire.

339

Now I can close the box.

340

All nice and tidy.

341

Put the box back here.

342

Let it go.

343

Excuse the mess, but this is cluttered.

344

Toothpaste in the toothpaste pot.

345

Sun cream in this cupboard.

346

All right.

347

As we say in England, out of sight, out of mind.

348

Which means when you put something away, you don't think about it.

349

Even if it's messy, inside the cupboard, doesn't matter.

350

And now you get a clear visual on what the hell it is I'm using.

351

If you're wondering, by the way, at this point, how I've been filming certain shots.

352

I've been using this thing called a magic arm and

353

if anybody is into filmmaking I highly suggest to buy a magic arm.

354

Super versatile, you can essentially clamp it,

355

clamp it onto anything, any surface and create these unique angles and cool POV shots.

356

face wash to wash

357

that face as you can see now this is a little

358

tidier than it was before good enough for me bathroom done

359

now the Sun is setting I would love to go up to the rooftop

360

and water some plants so why don't you join me Thank you.

361

Wow.

362

There's not many things better in life than a sunset.

363

I'm watering the plants to help them grow.

364

And I've actually been growing something behind the scenes for you guys.

365

I'm super excited about it.

366

completely new and I can't wait to tell you

367

Down here!

368

Down here, Jay!

369

Hey!

370

Oh, hello!

371

The boys!

372

Yeah, the lads!

373

Pizza!

374

Now, the final word of the day.

375

It's not actually a word, it's a quote.

376

And the quote is from Leonardo da Vinci.

377

Learning never exhausts the mind.

378

I love to learn.

379

I hope you love to learn.

380

I hope I can inspire you to learn and continue to keep growing, keep improving yourself.

381

Thank you for watching.

382

We're going to eat some pizza and watch a film.

383

Oh no, I've lost my face.

384

Don't worry about it, lad.

385

Don't worry, lad.

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.
