Warning!
2
Parts of this might be a little scary, and other parts a little gross.
3
Now let's get started.
4
Goodnight Witch Oh my, it's almost time for bed.
5
I better start my nightly routine.
6
First I need to put all my toads away.
7
There should be 17.
8
I'll put the spell on them so they know what to say.
9
Count the numbers that you are while I put you away.
10
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11,
11
12, 13, 14, 18, 18, 18, 19, 19.
12
Okay, that's 17.
13
But now my hands are covered in goo.
14
Good thing toad slime is so delicious.
15
I know just what to do.
16
Mmm, toad slime.
17
Toads are essential for witches.
18
And my parents told me they're not toys.
19
They hate to be locked in their cage though.
20
That's why they're making so much noise.
21
Next I'll clean up my big pot.
22
I'll need it again tomorrow for that new spell.
23
With all this slime and guts, it really has a wonderful smell.
24
Mmm, guts.
25
It's a mixture of many tasty morsels, like worms, eyeballs, and hair.
26
Okay, maybe just a nibble, because I see a cricket leg right there.
27
Mmm, cricket legs.
28
I don't want to ruin my dinner though, so I'll only have a small bite.
29
Now I'll finish scrubbing out this pot.
30
There, that looks just right.
31
There we go, nice and clean.
32
Next comes my lessons.
33
Being a witch is really hard.
34
Only the best witches survive.
35
The rest end up getting charred.
36
Now where did I put my magic wand?
37
Practice, practice, practice, that's what Mama Witch always says.
38
Next up I'll practice my aim.
39
Watch these little bunnies turn into anything I name.
40
Little bunny sitting there, turn into the next word I declare, Wolf.
41
Little bunny sitting there, turn into the next word I declare, Bear.
42
The bunny sitting there turned into the next word I declare, pig!
43
Flying's very important too.
44
I have to work hard every night before bed.
45
One day I might have to flee an angry mob.
46
That's what my mommy said.
47
Wee, I'm flying.
48
I push myself to the limit and use my broom to fly through rings of fire.
49
The Witch Olympics are coming up, and I want to be the fastest flyer.
50
Oh no, I burned my hair a little bit.
51
Finally it's time to go inside.
52
That sure was a long day.
53
We're not allowed brooms in our house, so I'll put mine away.
54
I wish I could take my mom's broom for a spin.
55
I'd love to fly up to the moon.
56
I better not, though.
57
Last time, she turned me into a baboon.
58
I don't want to be a monkey again, and she made me stay like that for a whole week.
59
I even had to go to school.
60
Everyone thought I was a freak.
61
Next, I take off my dirty shoes and hang up my pointed hat.
62
I know, I know, you're hungry.
63
That's Midnight.
64
He's my cat.
65
Some people think black cats are unlucky, but I know that's not true.
66
Midnight even brings me lucky rabbit feet.
67
Look, today he brought me two.
68
Good boy, Midnight.
69
My kitty's even magical.
70
He helps me clean the floor.
71
And when bad people come around, he scares them off with this lion roar.
72
Here you go, Midnight.
73
I made your favorite, worms and spider legs.
74
He'll only eat them if they're fresh and likes them sprinkled with fly eggs.
75
I need to feed him often.
76
Sometimes he snacks on frogs.
77
If I don't feed him enough, he'll go out and hunt dogs.
78
But I know he'll love these worms and legs.
79
I can still see them move.
80
They're so fresh and juicy, I know he won't disapprove.
81
Now it's time for me to eat, and look, my mommy made my favorite eyeball stew.
82
I like to close my eyes and guess what creature they come from before I start to chew.
83
Mmm, this first one is really juicy.
84
I bet it came from a troll.
85
That was delicious.
86
And there's probably another one in my bowl.
87
This is a really big one.
88
I think it's stuck on my throat.
89
Oh no!
90
Now I know where that ogre went.
91
I was wondering where he'd go.
92
Mmm, that eyeball stew is so yummy.
93
Can't forget my homework.
94
Better write down all the spells I learned today.
95
It's important to have them all memorized so I know just what to say.
96
Little bunny sitting there, turn into the next word I declare.
97
Eenie meenie miney moe, turn that bird into a crow.
98
I'm not afraid, I have no fear, because with these words you'll disappear.
99
There we go, that's all of them.
100
Bath time is delightful.
101
I love taking a long soak in this bubbling slime.
102
I could stay in here for hours, but it's almost bedtime.
103
Witches never take baths in water and I usually bathe with my favorite treats.
104
A few eyeballs, snails, slugs, and all my other favorite sweets.
105
I use my brush to mix it all together and then scrub it all in my hair.
106
Everyone thinks it looks so good and it gives me that extra flair.
107
Then I brush my teeth with slop which helps them stay nice and green.
108
I really don't like when little bugs get stuck in between.
109
If I'm lucky my teeth will end up like my mommy.
110
Hers are all covered in rot.
111
Oh no, I better brush with more slop.
112
I can see a white spot.
113
What?
114
Yay, looks like I've got a new wart today.
115
And it's going to be a big one too.
116
They say the more warts the prettier the witch.
117
And I think it's very true.
118
I think it's going to be hairy wart too.
119
My sister's gonna freak out.
120
Yeah, look!
121
Three hairs are already starting to sprout.
122
Hmm...
123
What pajamas should I wear tonight?
124
It's just so hard for me to pick.
125
Oh no, I think I hear my mommy coming.
126
I better get them on really quick.
127
Hehehehehehe!
128
Everyone gets in bed!
129
I think I'll wear my star ones tonight.
130
I'll put them home with the spell.
131
Oh, good, my dad's home early, and he's happy, I can tell.
132
He's a werewolf, and he always howls like that if he's in a really good mood.
133
He probably saw the eyeball stew.
134
That's his favorite food.
135
Oops, I still need to clean my room.
136
I can't let them see this big mess.
137
Hocus Pocus Abakazam, clean my room with great success.
138
I still haven't perfected my cleanup spell and sometimes things get put in the wrong place
139
Last time I accidentally cleaned up me and I ended up on top of the bookcase
140
Concentration is key because everything is flying through the air.
141
Oh no, watch out here comes a chair.
142
Oh No, I gotta fix that.
143
What's that spell again?
144
Oh, yeah fixie sticksie make it quicksy Phew, better put my wand away now.
145
I'm not supposed to bring it to bed.
146
I have to keep it safe, so I'll lock it up in this enchanted chest instead.
147
Oh, that's my older sister's book.
148
Essential Love Spells.
149
I need to give it back.
150
Besides, I read it and it's gross.
151
I bet that's how she got her boyfriend, Jack.
152
Just a quick glance in my crystal ball.
153
I never know what it's going to show me.
154
Look, my favorite syrup-covered centipede for breakfast is what I see.
155
Oh no, Jack's coming over tomorrow?
156
I don't know what my sister sees in him.
157
He's a skeleton from down the road, and I think he's way too slim.
158
Here I come!
159
Finally, Mommy's here to read me my favorite story.
160
This is always the best part.
161
My mommy is the most powerful witch around and I love her with all my heart.
162
Once upon a time, in a land far far away,
163
there lived a little witch who'd practice every day.
164
And when the evil humans came to cause her harm, her daddy the werewolf sounded the alarm.
165
Then her mommy flew down and she was the most powerful witch in the land.
166
And she used her magic wand that she held in her hand.
167
One by one she turned the humans into slimy,
168
ugly toads and gave them to her daughter who now has loads.
169
The End.
170
You know my mommy can do magic without even using her wand, like turning on my sleeping light.
171
She just flicks her fingers and instantly a star appears, burning throughout the night.
172
The star floats right above my bed.
173
How she does it I don't know, but I love to see it twinkle and it warms me with its soft glow.
174
Good night, witch, she'll say as she pulls the covers up and gives me a kiss.
175
It's time for you to sleep now, which you'll do when you hear this.
176
And then my mommy says a spell, usually a different one every night.
177
It's impossible to stay awake when she says it.
178
I've tried with all my might.
179
Hush, my little witch, for the day is finally done.
180
A deep slumber you'll now enter, as your sleep has just begun.
181
Now I'm asleep, but I wanted to warn you to stay away, unless you want to become my 18th Toad, and then we can play.
182
The End

Warum das Sprechen mit diesem Video üben?

Grammatik & Ausdrücke im Kontext

  • Zahlen zählen: "1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9..." Diese Zählweise hilft, die Zahlen im Englischen zu verinnerlichen und kann beim Englisch sprechen üben nützlich sein.
  • Vergangenheitsform: Phrasen wie "I put the spell on them" verwenden die einfache Vergangenheit, die für Erzählungen wichtig ist.
  • Vergleichende Strukturen: "Being a witch is really hard." Diese Struktur fördert das Verständnis von Adjektiven und deren Verwendung in Vergleichen.
  • Imperativformen: "Watch these little bunnies..." Diese Aufforderungen sind in Geschichten häufig und können das aktive Sprechen fördern.

Häufige Aussprachefallen

Einige Wörter und Ausdrücke im Video stellen besondere Herausforderungen dar. Achten Sie besonders auf:

  • "toads" (Kröten): Die Kombination von Konsonanten und Vokalen kann schwer auszusprechen sein. Üben Sie das langsame Aussprechen: "to-ads."
  • "guts" (Eingeweide): Der Umgang mit dem 'g'-Laut am Anfang kann tricky sein für Deutschsprechende. Es ist hilfreich, diesen Laut isoliert zu üben.
  • "broom" (Besenkur): Die Endkonsonanten 'm' und 'b' sind im Deutschen nicht immer gleich betont, was zu Verwirrung führen kann.

Das shadowing der Dialoge in diesem Video unterstützt nicht nur das Hörverständnis, sondern hilft auch, die Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. Nutzen Sie die Gelegenheit, die verschiedenen ausgedrückten Emotionen und den Charakter der Protagonistin durch Nachahmung zu erfassen.

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.
