1
I Have a Dream
2
The opening line of one of the most iconic speeches of our time by the late great Martin Luther King, often simply referred to as MLK.
3
Born in Atlanta, Georgia on January 15, 1929, King was a religious minister who rose to fame as
4
a national leader in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 60s.
5
King, who was actually named Michael upon birth, was five years old when his father,
6
also Michael, became inspired by the works of the late German Protestant Reformation leader,
7
Martin Luther, and decided to change both he and his son's names.
8
King's father was also a minister and a strict father who fought for civil rights.
9
Having long witnessed his father's fight against segregation and racial abuse, it was inevitable that King would follow in his father's footsteps.
10
He was a gifted student who skipped grades 9 and 12 and entered college early at the age of 15,
11
graduating with a degree in sociology four years later.
12
He then went on to receive a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1951
13
and finally his doctorate in theology from Boston University in 1955.
14
Amidst all his studies, King married and became a father to four children.
15
At the age of 25,
16
King became a pastor at a Baptist church in Alabama and quickly gained fame for his booming voice and powerful congregational speeches.
17
His role in defending Rosa Parks in the Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1955 shot King to national fame.
18
Ms. Parks was arrested for sitting in a whites-only seat of a city bus.
19
These kinds of segregation laws were exactly what King wanted to abolish.
20
He urged communities to come together to stop this kind of repression.
21
The boycott lasted just over a year and resulted in a change of law that prohibited segregation on buses.
22
This was just the beginning of King's leadership.
23
The Civil Rights Movement gained many victories as a result of his hard work and often personal sacrifices.
24
As a big believer in Gandhi's ideals, King always maintained a nonviolent approach to resolving disputes.
25
Despite this, there was constant opposition who believed that black people did not deserve any extra rights, and King was arrested and jailed repeatedly,
26
close to 30 times during his lifetime, apparently.
27
His family was threatened daily, and his house was even bombed at one point.
28
However, King was resilient, and he fought on, determined to create a better,
29
safer, more peaceful life for his family, his friends, and his followers.
30
He founded the SCLC, Southern Christian Leadership Conference, which was instrumental in civil rights reforms.
31
He led the Great March in Washington in 1963, which advocated for the civil and economic rights of African Americans.
32
He called for an end to racism with one of the most famous speeches ever, joined by around 250,000 supporters.
33
He played a huge part in the passing of new voting laws for black people in the U.S in 1964 and 1965.
34
And in October of 1964,
35
he became the youngest ever recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize for leading nonviolent resistance to racial prejudice in the U.S.
36
Sadly, King was assassinated on April 4,
37
1968, aged just 39, shot whilst on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee.
38
But his legacy went on to succeed him as just days after his death, U.S.
39
Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 prohibiting all manner of racial discrimination in housing and housing-related transactions.
40
This was believed to be a tribute to the great leader.
41
Martin Luther King Jr. Day was established as an annual national holiday in the U.S in 1971,
42
and he was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 1977.
43
King's dreams and beliefs live on.

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest

  • Die „th“-Laute: theology /θiˈɒ.lə.d͡ʒi/, threaten /ˈθɹɛt.n̩/
  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: segregation /sɛɡɹəˈɡeɪ̯ʃən/, abolish /əˈbɑl.ɪʃ/, congregational /kɑŋɡɹəˈɡeɪʃənəl/, repression /ɹəˈpɹɛʃən/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: segregation /sɛɡɹəˈɡeɪ̯ʃən/, assassinate /əˈsæs(ə)nˌeɪt/, congregational /kɑŋɡɹəˈɡeɪʃənəl/, sociology /ˌsoʊsiˈɑləd͡ʒi/, theology /θiˈɒ.lə.d͡ʒi/

Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:

  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: urge /ɜːd͡ʒ/, resolve /ɹɪˈzɑlv/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: assassinate /əˈsæs(ə)nˌeɪt/, balcony /ˈbælkəni/, pastor /ˈpæs.tɚ/, sadly /ˈsædli/
  • /dʒ/ — stimmhaft, nicht „tsch“: sociology /ˌsoʊsiˈɑləd͡ʒi/, prejudice /ˈpɹɛd͡ʒədɪs/, theology /θiˈɒ.lə.d͡ʒi/, urge /ɜːd͡ʒ/

So übst du mit diesem Video

  1. Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
  2. Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
  3. Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie segregation, prohibit, boycott.

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.
