17

It is a very rhythmic, very poetic sort of sounding name.
20
Very nice, lovely name.
21
- Thank you.
22
Thank you very much.
23
- Is there a story about that?
24
Your parents have something-- - Actually, I do have a story about mine.
25
- Let me hear it.
26
Well, the first time I got an agent, they thought my name-- How old were you?
27
That was about, Six years old, seven years old.
28
You get an agent at six years old.
29
Well, I tried to get an agent, but I didn't succeed because they wanted to change my name to Lenny Williams.
30
They thought my name was a little too ethnic, so they sort of dissected it and said, "Hey, Leonardo, Lenny." My middle name's Wilhelm, so they changed that to Williams.
31
Well, no, wait a minute.
32
Let's get back to your given name again.
33
Leonardo Wilhelm DiCaprio?
34
Yeah, that's my name.
35
Wow, that's a good one.
36
That's great.
37
Thanks.
38
And why is it that your folks selected an Italian -sounding name and then a German -sounding name?
39
Well, my mother's German and my dad's Italian.
40
There you go.
41
There's an answer for every story in this life.
42
All part of God's great plan, isn't it?
43
So, when you were six years old, how did you get into show business?
44
What were you...
45
You were just, like, going to school, to be in show business?
46
Well, the first time was actually on TV.
47
I was on TV at about three years old.
48
Have you ever seen Romper Room?
49
Are you kidding?
50
Try and keep me away from Romper Room.
51
Well, it was my favorite show at the time
52
and I just absolutely love the show and I used to sing the songs at home and everything.
53
Let's hear one.
54
And oh God.
55
Come on.
56
It's too far away.
57
I can't remember.
58
Come on, let's go, buddy.
59
So I went on Romper Room, right?
60
And I was completely excited.
61
They had a little circle, and they were all singing, dancing, and stuff like that.
62
But I was too excited to be on camera.
63
So I was running up and slapping the cameras and stuff like that, and screaming and looking inside the camera.
64
Tried to pull my mom on stage, and finally I was too much to handle, so they Completely kicked me off the shelf.
65
You were 86, you were tossed, you were adiosed.
66
I was adiosed.
67
And were you crestfallen?
68
You must have been crushed when you got bounced off Rumpa Rumpa Rumpa.
69
No, no, no. I SAW MYSELF ON TELEVISION.
70
I WAS JUST LIKE...
71
You went crazy.
72
Yeah, neurotic.
73
It was beautiful.
74
That happens to me almost every night right here.
75
Are you really that excited?
76
Yeah, I see.
77
Oh my God!
78
Um, I saw the film you did with Robert De Niro and Ellen Bark in This Boy's Life.
79
Mm -hmm.
80
That, you know, that was a great, I, and I guess, I, and forgive me if this is the wrong term, but it was a small sort of film.
81
It wasn't a huge budget with chase scenes and space, uh, uh...
82
Well, no. Made about eight million dollars, I think.
83
It was, uh...
84
But it was a very nice piece of work, is what I was trying to say.
85
Oh, well, thank you.
86
Based on a book.
87
And I thought that the interaction between you and De Niro was especially entertaining.
88
I mean, that was very interesting to watch.
89
Was it a good-- did you have a good relationship with him, with the film?
90
I did.
91
Bobby De Niro was great.
92
Ah, you called him Bobby.
93
There you go.
94
You're in show business now, pal.
95
Robert De Niro was great.
96
I remember a scene we were doing, actually, where he had his-- did you see the Zippo scene, where he's trying to, like, impress my mom, played by Ellen Barkin?
97
And Ellen found this so hilarious every time.
98
He's got something he does with the lighters.
99
Yeah, he pops it open and does his whole thing.
100
And Ellen, as soon as she saw Robert De Niro do this, she'd start cracking up immediately.
101
and the whole set was in hysterics.
102
And towards like the 25th take I got a little agitated, because I was usually one that was like, getting the laughs or on set.
103
So I stand up and I go, "You know, guys, can we be a little more professional here?
104
You're laughing all the time.
105
I've got things to do." I was a bit of a smart ass.
106
I was 16 years old.
107
I learned my lesson.
108
And Bob takes me aside and he goes, you know, - Thank you.
109
a certain line, you know, with jokes.
110
He goes, "You know, you shouldn't cross that line, 'cause sometimes you can't get back." You know?
111
That's right.
112
That's right.
113
So I sit there, and I come back in my chair, and my heart is, like, down.. down to my butt and I'm just sitting there.
114
Yeah.
115
Did I mess up?
116
And uh, 2K-- That's the reason you'll never be back on Romper Room.
117
It goes on your permanent record.
118
So two takes later, they nail the scene, and I never actually figured out if he was really angry with me or if he wanted to just change the tempo.
119
I have a feeling it was a little of both.
120
But he forgave me for it, actually, at the end.
121
-Good.
122
-He took me out, and, uh, we had a bunch of pies and stuff.
123
You talked about Romper Room and how you were tossed off and nearly arrested.
124
-Mm -hmm.
125
-Uh, and then...
126
-What was, like, your first legitimate acting role as a kid?
127
Did you want to be an actor, or did you folks just say, "Here?" I knew I wanted to be an actor for a long time, definitely.
128
My first dramatic, real drama was on the new Lassie.
129
-Uh -huh.
130
-And I think we have a clip of that.
131
But, uh, I remember that...
132
I'm supposed to be the one that tells the people -that we have the clips.
133
-Okay.
134
How would you know anything about our clip inventory?
135
-You take your time, absolutely.
136
-That's my responsibility.
137
-I don't appreciate anything.
138
-When we have a clip, I turn to the camera and I say, We got a clip, don't we?
139
Well, anyway, the funny thing about Lassie was-- -That, uh...
140
-We have a clip!
141
Lassie was actually a female dog.
142
Lassie is supposed to be a female dog.
143
Supposed to be a female, yeah, Lassie.
144
Yeah, Lassie, Laddie.
145
Laddie would be the male, Lassie's the female.
146
-Right.
147
-Yeah.
148
So they had five different dogs that were all guys to do the tricks, I guess, to...
149
We have five different polls.
150
Male dogs are smarter or something like that, right?
151
What did you say?
152
I don't know.
153
I don't know what they're doing.
154
What are you doing?
155
The male dogs are smarter?
156
Is that what you said?
157
I don't know.
158
That's supposedly one was for the tricks, one was for the expressions and this and that, right?
159
Right.
160
True.
161
So, uh, they had a big pregnancy scene where Lassie was giving puppies, and, uh, I first realized how fake the business-- That's hard for the guys.
162
We first realized how fake-- I first realized how fake the whole business was when they had to do the pregnancy scene, because they had to-- tape over Lassie's you know.
163
- It's some...
164
- You know, I know you're just a kid, but you possess a wisdom and a maturity, indescribable here.
165
That to tape over Lassie's...
166
special fur.
167
And I was sitting there.
168
Hey, hey, hey, this ain't romper room, okay?
169
I was a little shocked.
170
Yeah, I was a little disappointed, so...
171
Disappointed, were you?
172
Yeah.
173
Gosh, what aspect of that did you find disappointing?

Warum dieser Clip tolles Übungsmaterial fürs Sprechen ist
Der Dialog zwischen Leonardo DiCaprio und David Letterman ist perfekt, um Englisch sprechen zu üben – und das nicht nur, weil es unterhaltsam ist! Die Sprache ist locker, alltäglich und full of natürlicher Flüssigkeit. So lernst du, wie native Speaker in Gesprächen reagieren, Pausen setzen und Sätze rhythmisch gestalten. Ideal also, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern und dein Hörverständnis für alltägliche Konversationen zu trainieren.
Die Tricks der natürlichen Sprache – 3 Beispiele
Lass uns den Dialog genauer anschauen. Hier sind drei Sätze, die zeigen, was natürliches Englisch ausmacht:
- "No, I don't do my taxes. Uh -oh. My mom does them for me." Die kurzen Sätze und die ungewollte Pause ("Uh -oh") machen die Sprache lebendig. Native Speaker benutzen oft kurze Antworten, um sich nicht zu langwierig auszudrücken. Übe, diese Rhythmus zu kopieren!
- "Well, the first time I got an agent, they thought my name-- How old were you?" Die Unterbrechung ("--") zeigt, wie Gespräche oft unvorhersehbar verlaufen. Letterman unterbricht DiCaprio, um eine Frage zu stellen – so funktioniert echte Kommunikation. Achte darauf, wie die Stimme hier abfällt, um die Pause zu signalisieren.
- "Are you kidding? Try and keep me away from Romper Room." Die Redewendung "Are you kidding?" ist super üblich und zeigt Überraschung. "Try and keep me away" ist eine lockere Form, um zu sagen, dass man etwas liebt. Solche Phrasen machen dein Englisch nicht nur verständlicher, sondern auch authentischer.
Deine Practice Routine: Shadow Speech für mehr Flüssigkeit
Ein einfacher Trick, um aus diesem Video das Maximum herauszuholen? Shadow speech (auch "Shadowspeaks" genannt). So geht's:
- Schau den Clip ein paar Mal an, um den Kontext zu verstehen. Achte auf die Intonation und die Pausen.
- Spiel einen kurzen Abschnitt (5-10 Sekunden) ab und wiederhole ihn sofort nach, so genau wie möglich – auch mit der gleichen Stimmlage und Geschwindigkeit.
- Record dich selbst und vergleiche es mit dem Original. Wo fällst du Pausen zu spät ein? Wo ist die Aussprache anders? Verbessere diese Stellen step by step.
- Wiederhole das mit verschiedenen Abschnitten. Am besten täglich 10-15 Minuten – so wirst du merken, wie deine Flüssigkeit zunimmt!
Mit solchen Übungen lernst du nicht nur, Englisch lernen mit YouTube effizient zu machen, sondern auch, wie man in Gesprächen selbstsicher klingt. Also: Mach's dir nicht zu schwer, genieße den Clip – und übe fleißig!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | were tossed · was adiosed · have been crushed |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | Have you filed · Have you ever seen |
| Past Continuous was/were + -ing – eine Handlung, die zu einem Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit im Gange war | was running · was trying · were doing |
| Present Continuous am/is/are + -ing – etwas, das gerade jetzt oder zurzeit passiert | Are you kidding · You're laughing · I'm just sitting |
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.
