Shadowing-Übung: My Morning Routine: English Vocabulary Lesson - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Welcome to my American home where you are invited to learn real daily life English about your morning routine

while I show you my morning routine.

Come on!

First things first, we have to turn on the oven.

I have turned on the oven already so that my pan can preheat.

It has to get warm before I put the eggs on or else the eggs are gonna stick.

Nobody likes that.

So now that the pan is slightly warm, a little bit preheated, I'm going to pour in some olive oil.

And we're going to make some scrambled eggs this morning.

This is something that I make quite often.

Usually I'm making it for five people, not just me.

So this is a treat.

I'm only going to crack two eggs today.

These are eggs from my chickens.

and the fun thing is depending on the color of the egg, sometimes I know which chicken laid the egg.

Now this egg, I'm not sure because it's just a brown color, but this egg is a light green color and I know who laid it.

All right, let's crack the eggs into the pan.

I'm going to use my spatula a bit to get everything, the oil kind of evenly on the bottom of the pan.

Sometimes one way that I test see

if the pan is hot enough is just kind of move the oil if it slides smoothly then we're ready

all right i'm going to crack my eggs and let's get one more

i'm going to scramble these so i don't really care

if the yolks break but i did it perfectly they didn't break anyway, hooray!

All right, I'm going to scramble these and while I do a quick scramble, I'm going to do part two of my morning routine,

which is my favorite part.

Just a moment.

All right, let's set these for just a minute.

It is tea!

I am always excited to drink tea in the morning.

There's already some water in this electric tea kettle, so I'm just going to push start, let that go.

And I am going to put some bread in our toaster so that I can have bread with my eggs.

This is something that I really like to have together, especially with a little jam.

The little bit of sweetness with the bread is great with eggs.

I love it.

So I'm going to put this in the toaster.

This bread is really big.

I don't think I need that whole thing this morning.

So I'm just going to break it in half, put it in a toaster and wait for it to toast.

Do you know what this is called?

This is a bread tie.

It's pretty cool because you can use that word tie in a lot of different ways.

This is a bread tie, but I often wear my hair in a hair tie.

Same idea.

You're pulling it back.

pulling it back.

While we're letting these eggs scramble, I'm going to put some seasoning in here,

some salt, just a pinch of salt.

My kids really like to do this for me.

They love to crack the eggs and put the seasoning in, but sometimes with salt they put too much in, so we have to be a little bit careful.

Some garlic powder.

This is kind of a cheat, right?

And now I'm going to grate some cheese.

This is a giant block of cheddar cheese.

And I don't always add this, but I think it adds just another level of flavor.

And I like to add it while it's still in the pan.

so I'm grating the cheese.

Notice that when I say this word, grating, there's a T in it, but we're going to make it sound like a D,

grating, grating the cheese, because in American English,

we love for T's surrounded by vowels to sound like a D sound.

All right, I'm going to let this just sit here for a moment.

Some people like scrambled eggs to be very runny, but I don't.

I like them when they're a little more cooked.

All right.

So we have the salt, we have the cheese, the toast is going.

I hear the water is boiling.

I'm going to get my plate ready, my fork ready.

And I want to tell you that if you are new here, welcome.

This is my gift to you.

All right.

I just heard our toast pop.

That is the lovely word that we use when the toast comes out of the toaster.

The toast pops.

Has it popped yet?

Yes, it has popped.

All right.

I am going to now scrape all the little bits

and pieces off of the bottom of the pan so that they don't burn.

Push this to the side.

And now it is time.

Our tea is done too.

Hooray.

100

Now it is time to put some butter and jam on the bread.

101

I forgot a butter knife.

102

So I'm going to grab that.

103

I'm back.

104

This is called a butter knife.

105

Can you guess why?

106

Because we use it to put butter on, but you can use it for other things as well.

107

It just means a knife that's not sharp.

108

So this is the kind of knife that I would put at the table

109

if we needed to cut something soft during dinner,

110

or I use it to spread things like this.

111

I'm spreading the butter.

112

You can see here, I'm spreading the butter on, and now I'm going to spread the jam on.

113

This has been one of my family's favorite jams recently, wild blueberry jam.

114

Oh, it's so good.

115

It's a little bit tart and sweet at the same time.

116

I usually like to get jams that aren't just pure sugar.

117

Fruit is already so sweet.

118

So I like to have jam that actually tastes like fruit, not just sugar, right?

119

All right.

120

We got the jam on the toast.

121

We have the eggs that are ready.

122

And now it is time for my favorite parts, tea.

123

So I'm going to put my tea bag in my mug.

124

This is my favorite mug.

125

I use it every day.

126

It says best mom ever.

127

And it has ginkgo leaves on it.

128

I love it.

129

My kids gave this to me for Mother's Day many years ago.

130

And it has not broken yet.

131

I'm so glad someday when it breaks, because I know it will someday, due to the nature of using something every day that's breakable with kids,

132

I will put something growing in it.

133

I'll put some soil and some flowers will grow out of it or some herbs, something.

134

I will still use this even when it break someday.

135

All right, so we have our very hot boiling water.

136

I'm going to pour the water from the tea kettle into the mug.

137

I sometimes use loose leaf tea,

138

but usually I use loose leaf tea just for green tea in the afternoons.

139

For black tea, for everyday use, I just use tea bags.

140

They don't belong in this container, but my friend from England gave me this container full of tea,

141

oh, I don't know, 15 years ago.

142

And I have continued to use this container because I think it's so pretty.

143

So I just put my tea bags into this.

144

I feel like it's the simple things, right?

145

Enjoying opening the container, putting your tea bag into the mug that you love,

146

pouring the egg, cracking the eggs into the pan and not breaking them.

147

It's the small things in life right all right i'm going to let this steep for a few minutes and

148

while after i let it steep i'm going to pour some

149

milk into the tea maybe you make tea in a different

150

way this is how i make tea not saying it's the correct way

151

but while we're waiting normally i would sit at the table

152

but while we're waiting i'm going to try my eggs take my hair off of it and see how they are

153

light fluffy slightly garlicky now you might be thinking Vanessa why

154

would you put garlic powder with jam don't ask just try it

155

so sometimes what my family likes to do is we like to put the eggs on the toast

156

and then kind of like a sandwich eat it like this Mmm.

157

Mmm. So good.

158

Every time that I have jam with eggs, I just feel like this is the perfect combo.

159

Sometimes, usually it's my husband who makes breakfast for our family, and sometimes he puts just butter on the toast.

160

And I think, why wouldn't you put jam?

161

So usually I put jam on it too, because jam is the perfect touch for eggs, I think.

162

Don't put it on the eggs, put it on your toast.

163

All right.

164

We're going to see how this is doing.

165

It's very hot.

166

Pretty good.

167

I like to leave it in there a little bit longer just to get it slightly stronger.

168

We often use the word strong to talk about drinks, strong coffee, strong alcohol, strong tea.

169

You wouldn't really use it for water or juice or milk, but these types of things that can have a gradation of strength.

170

Weak tea.

171

Nobody wants to have weak tea.

172

Nobody wants to have weak coffee.

173

Everyone wants strong tea, right?

174

Strong coffee.

175

I do not put sugar in my tea on a regular basis.

176

I just like it pure with milk.

177

If I have chai, so a more seasoned spiced tea, I do like to put a little bit of honey in it,

178

but on a regular basis, I just have it with milk.

179

And this is the morning routine.

180

All right, I'm going to pause for a moment, let this steep, and I'll get back to you and show you pouring in the milk.

181

Actually, while we are waiting for my tea to steep, I want to tell you about a couple other morning routine breakfast drink type of words.

182

I made scrambled eggs.

183

I just mix them together.

184

But there are a couple other types of popular ways to make eggs.

185

You could make fried eggs.

186

Some people call this eggs over easy.

187

Some people call this eggs sunny side up.

188

And it's where you don't mix them.

189

Or you can make an omelet.

190

I liked making omelets when I was in high school.

191

I made a beautiful big omelet every single day where I mixed the eggs before putting them in the pan.

192

And then I put a lot of toppings and then I folded it over.

193

I put different types of maybe ham or turkey or spinach, sometimes broccoli, cheese, and then folded it over and ate that.

194

Man, let me tell you what, that is the breakfast of champions.

195

As they say, I had great energy, great nutrients ready for high school.

196

That was a long time ago.

197

Also, I want to tell you about bread.

198

So this is just bread.

199

It's baked, you know, it's, this is sourdough bread.

200

But when you put it in the toaster, what does it become?

201

It becomes toast.

202

So this is not toast, but this is toast because it is crispy.

203

It has been in the toaster for a bit.

204

It's not burnt.

205

It's just toasted.

206

So we can use the word toasted to talk about other

207

things as well you might put some uh something in the

208

oven like some almonds you could toast almonds you can toast bread you could toast other things i guess

209

um and this pan i wanted to talk about this pan for a moment it's pretty hot so i'm not gonna

210

pick it up for you actually i will i will sacrifice i'll use this this is a little hand towel

211

so that I can not burn myself.

212

This pan is called a skillet, but you can also call it a frying pan.

213

You might call it a specific word like a cast iron skillet, something like that.

214

Mine has eggs all stuck to the bottom, but what I'm going to do is I'll pour some water in here and soak it, and the eggs will just come right off.

215

I'll do that later once it cools down a bit.

216

and this guy i mentioned this word earlier this is a spatula make sure

217

that the middle of this word has a nice ch sound

218

spatula spatula this is a spatula um you might call it something else

219

if i can think of any other words i'll put them up here

220

but i call this a spatula i would only use this for flipping things

221

when i make pancakes i use this when i make eggs i use this when I'm, yeah, usually just for eggs in the morning.

222

This is our egg spatula.

223

In the US, usually we keep our eggs in the fridge, but because we have chickens,

224

we don't have to refrigerate our eggs.

225

And that's the word that I would use, refrigerate our eggs.

226

They don't need to be refrigerated.

227

Notice at the end of this word too, the T becomes a D, refrigerated.

228

these do not need to be refrigerated because they came right from the chickens outside

229

but when you buy eggs in the u.s you will find them in the refrigerated section

230

and you have to keep them in your fridge okay i

231

think my tea is probably ready i'm going to take out my tea bag and pour in some milk.

232

It's a nice dark, rich brown color.

233

And I'm going to pour in a little bit of milk.

234

I love watching it plumes of milk coming up.

235

And I will stir it a bit.

236

I might put a little dash of milk in a little bit more.

237

All right.

238

This is piping hot right now.

239

I cannot drink it.

240

I'm going to need for it to cool down a bit, but I will take my tea, take my breakfast and go sit at the table,

241

eat this in some peace and quiet.

242

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.
