1
So one thing that really changed since I moved abroad and left everything behind is
2
almost every single day I'm waking up to beautiful weather It's like vitamin D is directly hitting your face
3
So recently I've been writing into a book a little just my thoughts what I think
4
and I'm trying to do this every day but I mean no one is perfect and yeah.
5
I mean I'm trying to do the best I can to just you know like do it
6
and keep going I mean some days I don't but just trying to
7
Now look at this.
8
I really see myself, I really do see myself in this kid.
9
I wish I was 14 only for once again.
10
So one thing I really do love is just taking walks and just doing nothing else.
11
enjoying nature, enjoying wherever you are.
12
The sun is shining into your face and no one is disturbing a piece
13
So this is art wonderful music could listen to this all day literally
14
So I'm still discovering how everything works here basically It's already two months since I've moved,
15
since I changed the country, since I've moved abroad.
16
And I'm in a mentally better state than I ever was, I think.
17
I had to change something about my life because I was never really happy at all.
18
And I was always in that race, in that path of trying to chase happiness,
19
of trying to chase peace, trying to chase something that was never really possible to chase at all.
20
And for me, basically the last two to three years, I never really felt comfortable,
21
I never really felt happy at all.
22
And I knew this wasn't really for me.
23
It's just a lot of things about Germany that didn't really make me happy.
24
It's just living for 22 years in the same city
25
and the same place and the same environment
26
and it's literally every single day is always the same and especially when you're working a job you hate
27
when you're coming home and the only thing you do is waiting until the next day begins.
28
And that's something I really don't like and I'd rather do that in a place I like,
29
with good weather, with sun, with great people, with people with a kind of different mindset.
30
And if there's one thing I could really recommend you, it's please don't work a job you hate.
31
Only because you're getting a little more money or whatever you get.
32
It's not even about the money.
33
But do something that makes you happy.
34
Work a job that makes you happy.
35
And also one of the most important things is you need to have good co-workers.
36
You have to work with good people around you.
37
If you don't have any good co-workers your job is only half as good as it is from my experience.
38
Being alone for a specific time and moving abroad will really change you in a way you'd never expect.
39
I'm going to get a job, but I'm going to get a job.
40
I'm going to get a job.
41
I'm going to get a job.
42
One of the best skills or one of the best things I've ever learned is that it doesn't bother me anymore, not even 1% to just go on solo dates
43
and doing things alone and I believe when you reach
44
that states that doing things alone gives you peace
45
and you don't need anyone around you you can you're just
46
able to do things alone is a skill everyone should learn
47
So recently I've been reading Tautostra from Nietzsche and what I can say is this guy really was someone.
48
For me it's really peaceful doing things alone.
49
No one is disturbing my peace and I can just do my own thing.
50
I'm so sorry for those cats.
51
If I could do something I would really take them all home with me but somehow I can't do nothing at all.
52
Well, at least they have some water and some food over there.
53
There are really a lot of cats I'm seeing on the streets lately, but...
54
Well...

Für wen ist dieses Video geeignet?

Dieses Video eignet sich ideal für fortgeschrittene Englischlerner, die ihre sprachliche Fluenz und Verständnis für alltägliche Gesprächsweisen verbessern wollen. Es richtet sich an jene, die lernen möchten, über tiefe Emotionen und Lebensveränderungen zu sprechen – perfekt für die Praxis in Selbstgesprächen oder Diskussionen über Lebensentscheidungen.

Wörter und Redewendungen, die man klauen sollte

  • Underrated skill: Ein unterschätztes Können. "Learning to enjoy being alone is an underrated skill" – eine tolle Phrase, um ein vergessenes Talent zu beschreiben.
  • Chase happiness: Glück jagen. Statt "versuchen, glücklich zu sein" klingt das viel lebendiger: "I was in that race of trying to chase happiness".
  • Solo dates: Allein unterwegs sein (z. B. ins Kino oder zum Essen). "Doing solo dates doesn't bother me anymore" – perfekt für Gespräche über Selbstvertrauen.
  • Disturb my peace: Meine Ruhe stören. Ein einfacher, aber starker Ausdruck: "No one is disturbing my peace".

Wie man den Akzent richtig bekommt

Der Sprecher hat einen klaren, natürlichen Ton – ideal fürs Shadowing (Nachsprechen). Achte besonders auf:

  • Intonation bei langen Sätzen: Der Sprecher neigt dazu, am Ende von Sätzen leiser zu werden (z. B. "I'm in a mentally better state than I ever was, I think"). Übe, die Spannung beizubehalten, um Verständlichkeit zu wahren.
  • Reduktionen: Wörter wie "I'm" oder "don't" werden oft verkürzt. Höre dir "I'm trying to do this every day" an – die "m" wird fast zu einem Flüstern. Nutze ein shadowing site, um diese Nuancen zu üben.
  • Betonung auf Schlüsselwörtern: Wörter wie "happy", "peace" oder "skill" werden betont. Übe, diese Wörter deutlicher zu sagen, um die Botschaft zu verstärken.

Um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern, probiere "shadow speech" – höre einen Satz an, pausiere und spreche ihn sofort nach. Wiederhole dies mit Abschnitten des Videos, um Rhythmus und Ton zu lernen.

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.
