Shadowing-Übung: MAISA - ENTREVISTA MILLIE BOBBY BROWN - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Amelia, I'm so happy to see you again.

I'm so happy to see you.

We're always seeing each other.

Last time when?

Was it in London?

Yeah, in London, maybe in 2019, I guess.

Yeah.

And we were young girls and now we're both women.

I know.

My goodness.

It's great to be back and to be actually still seeing you in our UNICEF world.

It means the world to me to be able to walk alongside someone as brilliant as you.

And being in Brazil.

Yeah.

I'm like, oh my gosh, finally, you came to London.

I'm here.

Yeah.

I'm so happy.

So like we're both UNICEF ambassadors and I wanted to know what drew you to the organization and what keeps you committed?

Oh my goodness, well it doesn't take a lot to keep me committed.

I think you know the work they do stands out for themselves

and keeps me motivated because in what they do they show you what they've done

but they also show you the progress that needs to be made

so that always motivates me to keep committed because I know that there's such a bigger cause out there.

I guess I was so young when I started.

How old were you, by the way?

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, gosh.

13?

Yeah, 13.

Oh, my God.

A young girl.

Yeah, really young.

Really young.

But I always knew, even from a very young age, I loved school.

So I kind of always knew how important my education was to me.

And so when I, you know, my parents were always very transparent with me about the world I lived in,

right, and how privileged I was to be able to be given the tools that I had.

And so when I realized that others lived in a world that didn't provide them those opportunities,

I realized that I had a platform to speak on things that were really important, and UNICEF gave me that platform.

So I was very lucky.

It was just a very organic kind of like, hey, this is what I'm looking to do.

And UNICEF were like, well, we believe in young people.

So it was just a beautiful UNISEN.

So I was very lucky.

What about you?

So, like, I started a couple of years ago, like two years ago or one year ago, and it was always a part of me to speak in the name of youth.

And also seeing that in Brazil we have a lot of, you know, I'm very privileged, but it's sad to see that not everybody gets education.

So to see that UNICEF is looking especially for the youth

and taking care of them and developing programs

and also taking care of young girls that has no access to proper hygiene when it comes to menstrual hygiene.

And education and all of that.

So to see them really go in the field

and doing something makes me committed

and also looking forward to like what can I do to help and to speak and also use our platforms.

Right.

Well, you have such a huge following, right?

I think that's what's so beautiful about UNICEF is that they're like, you have a great following, but let's harness all of those people that you can reach out

and talk to and inspire them and motivate them to make a change in their community.

So, you know, you have a huge following and to be able to talk to your audience and empower them, especially because most, I'm sure, majority of them are young women.

Yeah.

Same with me.

So it's like, oh, gosh, this is such a wonderful chance to strike when the iron is hot, when people are listening to you and to be able to do that with UNICEF is a dream come true.

And also to talk about things that people think that the problems are solved, like cyber building, just because we've been talking about it for way too long, it doesn't mean that it's gone.

Right.

So like UNICEF has always a new way of talking about this stuff and open our eyes.

Right.

To see like, so the problem is still there.

Yeah.

Let's raise our voices and make a change.

Totally.

So talking about Brazil, talking about São Paulo specifically.

Yes.

Can you tell us a little bit about what you're going to do with them here?

I've never been on a field, on the field for UNICEF.

This is my first time.

So, gosh, I'm 21.

I've been an ambassador for eight years, I want to to say, to be able to go out on the field finally

and to be actually witnessing what the education program looks like out here in Brazil is going to be

so impactful and educational for me to be able to actually see what's going on.

Because I've spoken in the UN a lot about children's education and calling on world leaders to invest more in girls' lives.

And of course, I believe in that so much, but to be able to see it will only motivate me more

and educate me more on what's really happening out on the field.

So I am going to the outskirts of San Paolo to witness what the education program looks like out there

and to be able to sit there and to listen, right, to be a listening ear

and to see what we can do to help provide support and to see the families that UNICEF have helped.

I'm really excited and I'm really honored and blessed to be able to go to that community.

And I'm so happy that you came, like you're doing this here in Brazil.

It's so special.

I think it's going to be an unforgettable moment for like you and also for them.

Yeah, um, so I've seen you speaking about education,

but like, is there any other UNICEF initiative that is closest to your heart?

Good question.

Well, I mean, I initially always came in with empowering young people.

I had hosted Wild Children's Day.

So that's always been like, you know, the core of it, right?

Because for me, you know, I was very lucky to have a seat at the table very young.

And I couldn't imagine a world where other young people aren't allowed to make decisions

and to receive the same opportunities I've received so while Children's Day

100

and empowering young people was always the core

101

but then as I started to get older I started to realize that specifically young women

102

have their own set of struggles and I'm lucky enough

103

that I didn't have to face any of those I'm very privileged

104

but I realized what does that look like if I didn't have those things

105

And are there women out there that don't have access to, you know, menstrual products and that don't have access to,

106

you know, secondary school and be able to actually go and get a degree in something that they're really passionate about?

107

And then I thought to myself, whoa, this is this is specifically targeting young women.

108

And I think UNICEF do such a beautiful job in highlighting

109

that this is a huge sector of the problems that we're trying to face and figure out.

110

And so I kind of went back to UNICEF a couple of years after, I guess, my ambassadorship.

111

And then I realized, oh, this is I think this is something else I'm really interested in doing with you guys.

112

Is this something that I can be a part of?

113

And of course, they welcome me with open arms.

114

And it's such a taboo topic to talk about.

115

Yeah, it is.

116

Menstrual health and menstrual hygiene.

117

And I'm like, I'm not afraid to talk about it.

118

Are you kidding me?

119

This is part.

120

We don't ask for this.

121

and to be able to talk about it

122

and to empower girls to talk about it because it's not something that we should be afraid of.

123

And UNICEF gave us that microphone to speak a little bit louder about the things that you typically or societally shouldn't.

124

And so those are the things that I've kind of got my hands in

125

and those are the things that I feel really, really passionate about.

126

What about you?

127

Same.

128

And I just wanted to tell you that here in Brazil, we also struggle with all of that

129

but UNICEF has also a lot of programs about that and in the northeast of Brazil they also have

130

programs towards menstrual hygiene and they're basically empowering young women to talk about their problems

131

and then to fix that problems right so it's something really good to see

132

that it's not only talking about a topic

133

but also doing something about it

134

but that's what UNICEF that's what I love right it's like we can talk about it all we want

135

but do we see the change and UNICEF we talk about it

136

and then you see after the fact the things

137

that we're able to do and the things that they were able to do.

138

So I love that, right?

139

We're not, it's not just a conversation, it's a plan of action and I personally have always been kind of

140

so motivated to get into that plan of action to see what we can do

141

and actually get our hands in it and go, you know what, we need to fix this problem, enough talking, let's do it.

142

So it's so nice to be able to share

143

that same mutuality in that in that because I think it's huge

144

and to be able to hear your platform here to talk about something like

145

that that feels so taboo

146

and scary to some girls to be able to hear you

147

know someone as brilliant as you to be able to talk about that is so inspiring so thank you for doing that.

148

Thank you.

149

So talking about the fact

150

that both of us grew up in front of the cameras we know it's not something easy

151

that people have always something to say about our lives.

152

How is it like for you to decide like what you want to share

153

and what you decide to keep to yourself because I've seen

154

that your relationship with social media has changed throughout the years right how do you balance

155

that I think that the number one thing I can

156

and say is that when you have a support system and

157

when you have resources you are going to be okay

158

and you are given the platform to talk about it whether that's openly out there

159

or just with your family and friends but having

160

that support system is what's gotten me through those hard times of navigating what what my life looks like

161

and that's why i love unicef because they they give you those resources

162

and that you know that that platform to speak freely about the things

163

that you are struggling with

164

and um i think the programs out there to protect cyber bullying with unicef is huge right

165

because the second you have that support system

166

and you're able to go hey i actually need help

167

and this isn't okay and i'm scared now

168

and this is hurting me um unicef's there to step in to help

169

and for me i was lucky enough to have my friends

170

and family to step in but i understand

171

that that's not the reality of other people and other young people

172

that have access to social media and that's where unicef steps in

173

and it can be that kind of family and support unit

174

that you know so many need yeah when it comes to mental health

175

that it's a important topic that unicef also talks about right what do What do you do to take care of yourself?

176

I mean, I think it goes back to, I love to journal.

177

I mean, I love writing things down.

178

Me too.

179

Yeah, right?

180

It's great to journal because I think, you know, so much happens in our brains

181

and to be able to compartmentalize and be able to store things in certain parts and go, you know what, this isn't serving me.

182

This kind of information, this content isn't right for me, but I'm going to bring in something positive that happened to me today

183

and I'm going to write that down writing down what you're grateful for.

184

You know, I love journaling.

185

Again, using my support unit and talking things out.

186

A friend of mine who I love, Florence Pugh, she actually, she reached out to me the other day and she said,

187

I want you to learn something and it's going to the end of your thought process, right?

188

So a really negative thought comes in about something someone said to you or you say, you know, or you hear something or you intake this content that's not serving you.

189

you go to the end of the thought.

190

So you start thinking, well, why was that said?

191

What are they going through?

192

Or was this, was this, is this actually true?

193

Do I know this about myself?

194

Do my friends and family think that about myself?

195

And then you start going to the end of the thought and you thought, and you realize this isn't, this isn't real.

196

This is just a thought.

197

And it's not about you.

198

Yeah.

199

It's not about you.

200

Right.

201

And then you can kind of go, oh, wait, hold on.

202

I've just come around in one big circle and I've ended up right back, but on the other side of it and you go this isn't about me

203

and and um that is a huge technique

204

that i've just recently learned that's brilliant it is

205

but you know what i'm still learning and that's why i love this

206

because i get to look on peers like florence who has a huge platform um

207

and to be able to to hear that um from someone i really respect

208

and admire which again is that support unit right

209

that i was going back to i went back to it

210

and i was like wow this is so important to me so

211

so using techniques to help me understand my brain more is

212

huge what about what do you do um i try to

213

you know i do yoga okay i think it helps meditation

214

and also journaling i like to organize my thoughts there

215

so like i write what i want to do what i've done

216

and also like you know free thoughts sometimes i have an idea

217

and i don't want to forget it so i just write it even

218

if it's a bad thing and then three three days go by and And then I read again and I was like, it's not a problem anymore.

219

It's gone.

220

So I think that that has helped me a lot.

221

But also talking to friends and talking to people who I know that love me.

222

But this is something that I was thinking, talking to you.

223

It's so magical, the fact that you started so young with UNICEF, because we can see how much you've matured.

224

And that now you have a new way of speaking of the same things that you've always believed in.

225

So now you have more knowledge and new ways to help.

226

It's still learning, right?

227

Yeah, it's still learning.

228

We're still so young and so UNICEF has been, you know, oh my gosh, the most, the leading organization, right, for so many years before us.

229

So their knowledge, their expertise, as much as they're still learning and growing, their knowledge is kind of always what I revert back to.

230

Like, okay, you know, they have the statistics, they know what's going on thoroughly and so we're able to go back as young people and go, hey, but what about this? come up with ideas

231

but they're able to kind of support you with the information

232

and the things they've seen over all those years

233

that they've been working on it

234

so um it's just it's such a beautiful it's such a beautiful thing

235

that we're able to come together and

236

and do with with each other for each other

237

and for women like us i think it's it's so impactful

238

and last but not least Millie um can you leave a message for the Brazilian youth especially people

239

that love you that grew up with you just like me yeah

240

and that definitely are very inspired by this interview oh well i hope i hope

241

242

243

245

that women inspire women so go to you know look to the girl to your left ask

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.
