Shadowing-Übung: NICE Girl Gets TAKEN For GRANTED | Dhar Mann - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

Happy birthday, dear Georgie.

Happy birthday to you.

Hey!

Aw!

Thank you guys so much.

Man, y'all my work busy.

Y'all always lose it down.

What are you doing standing around?

Get back to work.

Oh, um, sorry, Angela.

I mean, Mr. Williams.

They were just celebrating me and bringing me a cake for my birthday today.

Last time I checked, I don't pay you guys by the hour to sit around eating cake.

I'm not going to ask again.

I'd like to see you in my office.

Discuss your performance lightly.

Now!

What?

No way.

Come in.

Hey, sweetheart.

Sabrina let me in.

Oh, hey, Dad.

I brought you a little something for your birthday.

Thank you so much, Dad.

Your grandfather gave me this on my 21st birthday.

Okay, and now I'm giving it to you.

It's almost a hundred years old.

Oh, it's a watch.

Not just any watch, it's a very special watch, as you get to see.

Do you not like it?

Oh, it's not that.

I love it, Dad.

Thank you.

I just have a lot on my mind right now, that's all.

You want to talk about it?

Adam canceled our plans tonight.

30 minutes before we're supposed to go out to dinner.

I'm sorry.

Are you sure you should be with this guy?

I know it's not my place, but you complain about him all the time.

It seems like he doesn't treat you the way you deserve to be treated.

Yeah, I mean, he has his issues, but I don't know.

It's not just him.

My boss yelled at me today because I took literally two minutes to celebrate my birthday with some of my coworkers.

And then he pulled me aside to his office and he told me, I'm on my last straw.

It just hurts, you know?

I feel like I'm giving all of myself to this company.

I'm literally the hardest working person in that office.

But he pays me $13 an hour.

Minimum wage.

It's like whatever I do, he doesn't see my value, you know?

Sweetheart, do me a favor.

After work tomorrow, go buy that pawn shop on MLK and see how much they'll offer you for that watch.

Wait, why would I do that?

This was grandpa's.

And you just gave it to me for my birthday.

Just do it for me.

Let me know how much they offer you, okay?

Alright, Dad.

I will.

Let me walk you out.

Oh, sorry about the mess.

This is all Sabrina's stuff.

Is she not clean?

If it wasn't for me, this would be like an episode out of Hoarders, okay?

She literally doesn't lift a finger. So annoying.

But anyway, thank you for stopping by and for the gift.

I love you, sweetheart.

Happy birthday.

Thanks.

Sabrina!

Did you take my jacket without asking me?

It even has a stain on it!

Hey, how can I help you?

Yes, I'd like to see how much this watch is worth.

Alright.

Okay, let me take a look.

Okay.

Come on, come on, come on, I don't got all day.

Okay, there you go.

Mm-hmm.

I'll give you 150 for it.

That's it?

My dad said this is a very special watch.

It belonged to my grandfather.

Special to him?

Maybe.

Not here.

That's the best I can do.

Take it or leave it.

Alright.

Thanks.

Okay, I'm thinking the chocolate lava cake.

What do you think?

Mmm, yeah let's skip dessert.

I mean, I shouldn't be eating cake and honestly, you shouldn't either.

But it's my birthday.

Yesterday was, not today.

100

Well, we would have been having dinner yesterday had you not cancelled on me last second.

101

Are you even listening to me, Adam?

102

Adam, you've been on your phone all night.

103

Alright, phone's down.

104

What's up?

105

Hi, I'm taking over for Harold.

106

Is there anything that looks good?

107

Yeah, this sure is.

108

Sure is.

109

Oh, strawberry cake rack, Georgie.

110

Actually, we'll just take the check.

111

Thanks.

112

OK, no worries.

113

I can take this for you.

114

Thank you.

115

You are not going to believe this.

116

You know I left my wallet home.

117

I am so sorry, babe.

118

Look, I'm going to use a can.

119

I'll be right back, OK?

120

Hi, Dad.

121

Hey, honey.

122

Everything all right?

123

It's just Adam.

124

I'd rather not talk about it.

125

What's up?

126

Did you go to the pawn shop like I asked you?

127

Yeah, they said that they offered me $150 for the watch.

128

I'm kind of surprised it's not worth more.

129

It's not worth more or they didn't offer you more.

130

What's the difference?

131

Tomorrow, after work, take it to the high-end jewelry shop on Beverly and see what they're willing to offer you.

132

Is there a point to all this?

133

I really don't want to sell it.

134

Plus, I doubt that they'll offer much more.

135

Just take it, please.

136

It'll make sense soon.

137

Sure, Dad.

138

No problem.

139

I love you.

140

I love you, too.

141

Call me after you take it.

142

Okay.

143

Bye.

144

Bye, honey.

145

Happy birthday!

146

Thank you. Of course.

147

Enjoy.

148

Hi there.

149

Oh, hi.

150

Do you guys buy used watches?

151

Yes, we do.

152

Is there something I can help you with?

153

Yes.

154

I got this watch as a birthday present.

155

Supposedly it's over 100 years old.

156

Do you mind telling me what it's worth?

157

I haven't seen one of these in ages.

158

The thing is, it's really difficult to put an exact

159

price on it because these types of watches just don't come around very often.

160

Can you give me a ballpark of what it's worth?

161

I would be willing to...

162

I'd be willing to offer you $10,000 for it.

163

Wow.

164

Okay.

165

I think I'll hold on to it because it has sentimental value, but thanks for your time.

166

I understand.

167

Um, if you change your mind, you know where to find me.

168

Thank you.

169

Have a good day.

170

You too.

171

Hey.

172

Uh, are you cutting your toenails on the table?

173

Yeah? So?

174

Okay, that is gross, okay?

175

I eat on that table.

176

Sabrina, you've been saying that you're gonna clean up for weeks, okay?

177

This is all of your stuff.

178

I know, and I'm gonna do it.

179

I've just been like super busy.

180

Busy doing what?

181

Okay, you don't even have a job right now.

182

Exactly.

183

I've been really busy looking for a job.

184

Oh, that's rich.

185

That's a new one.

186

What's this?

187

It says our electric bill wasn't paid.

188

It's literally the only utility bill that you're in charge of.

189

I'm gonna do it.

190

Relax.

191

He is not a nice person.

192

Mom, because you're a janitor, does that mean I'm going to be on this?

193

No!

194

Not a sweetheart, unless you want to be.

195

Did you eat half of my pasta that was yours?

196

Well, considering that there's only two people that live here, whose else did you think it was?

197

My bad.

198

She was...

199

telling me to clean them up.

200

And you just left all the dirty dishes in the sink too?

201

I mean, classic.

202

I am just trying to watch TV peacefully, but I think I'll go upstairs since you're just picking on me for literally everything.

203

Don't leave your toenails there!

204

Sabrina!

205

Sabrina!

206

Hey, Dad.

207

Hi, honey.

208

Why the long face?

209

Oh, nothing.

210

Just roommate drama.

211

Nothing new.

212

Sorry to hear that.

213

So, did you take the watch to the jewelry store like I asked?

214

Yes, I did.

215

And you're not going to believe it.

216

They offered me $10,000 for it.

217

Way more than the other place.

218

I was actually thinking about selling it too, but I didn't have the heart to.

219

Well, I'm glad you didn't, because I have a friend who's a high-end art collector, and he's coming over later today.

220

I think you should show it to him so we can get his opinion on how much he thinks it's worth.

221

Okay, wait, what's the point of that?

222

Like, I already have a great offer on it, and it's not like I'm going to part ways with it anyway.

223

Just please, meet with him.

224

I won't ask you to do it again.

225

I promise.

226

Okay, Dad.

227

I'll come by in a bit.

228

I'll see you soon.

229

I love you.

230

Love you too.

231

Bye.

232

Sweetheart!

233

Hi, Dad. Did you bring it?

234

I did.

235

Perfect.

236

This is Alfredo, the friend I told you about.

237

Oh.

238

Hi.

239

Hi.

240

Hi.

241

I understand you have an interesting piece you want to show me.

242

Yes.

243

Let's take a look.

244

Uh-uh.

245

No. This can't be.

246

It is absolutely marvelous.

247

Do you have any idea how rare this is?

248

Um, yes.

249

I actually took it to a store and they offered me 10 grand for it for it.

250

That was so funny.

251

$10,000?

252

Yeah.

253

My dear, you must not have shown this to anyone that knows the true value of this watch.

254

Within a day, I could find 10 buyers willing to pay over $100,000.

255

Easy.

256

Uh, 100?

257

Yes.

258

Oh, yes.

259

No, that's 10 times more than what the last person offered me.

260

Well, it's a good thing your dad's friend's a collector knows what it's really worth, hmm?

261

Listen, there are only a few of these left in circulation in the whole world.

262

I'd hang onto it at all costs because a few years from now, it'll be worth double.

263

Thanks, Alfredo.

264

I appreciate you coming by.

265

I'm confused.

266

You knew that the watch was worth that much this whole time?

267

Then why'd you have me go and see all these other people?

268

Sit down, sweetheart.

269

You see, I wanted you to do all of that

270

because I wanted to teach you the same lesson my father taught me.

271

Only the right place can value you the right way.

272

I still don't get it.

273

The watch represents you, Georgie.

274

In life, sometimes you're going to find yourself in the wrong place.

275

And you may be upset because you're not being valued.

276

But the truth is only those who know your worth are capable of appreciating you.

277

So don't stay in a place where someone doesn't see your value.

278

Wait. Are you saying...

279

Your boss doesn't see your value, just like the pawn shop did.

280

Your roommate and your boyfriend don't see your value, just like...

281

The jewelry store didn't.

282

Precisely.

283

But Alfredo did.

284

So what I'm trying to teach you is your value doesn't decrease based on someone else's inability to see your worth.

285

You're special, just like this watch.

286

And you have to go to the right place to find someone who can truly appreciate how special you are.

287

Thanks, Dad.

288

Sometimes I play it safe And you can see it It's easy for me to show But sometimes I'm really brave

289

And that just means that I'll try again tomorrow It's my dark, the eight of mountains where the valleys used to be

290

Gotta change perspective if I really wanna see them Sunrise over the water,

291

And I said, you can go get it yourself.

299

No way.

300

No, you didn't.

301

No, I didn't.

302

With my chest in awe, OK?

303

I was through with him.

304

You know, sometimes I just wonder.

305

You're funny, you're smart, and you are absolutely beautiful.

306

How did I get so lucky to be with a girl like you?

307

Aw. So sweet.

308

Hey, you're Chad, right?

309

We went to high school together.

310

311

Yes, hey, how you been?

312

It's so good to see you.

313

Wow, you look amazing.

314

Um, this is actually my girlfriend, Georgie.

315

We're celebrating her birthday today.

316

Aw, happy birthday!

317

Can I get you something?

318

Dessert?

319

Cake, maybe?

320

Actually, I'm okay.

321

You sure?

322

On the house.

323

Yeah.

324

I'm trying to watch my face.

325

No, no, no, no, no. You gotta be kidding me.

326

You are absolutely perfect the way that you are.

327

Look at her.

328

Isn't she stunning?

329

I mean, picture perfect.

330

How in love.

331

Look, we'll get a chocolate lava cake with one scoop of vanilla ice cream.

332

Just what?

333

Oh, you want two scoops of vanilla ice cream?

334

That's my favorite.

335

I'm never gonna get it.

336

I love it.

337

Okay, I'll be right back with that guy.

338

Oh, and don't you even reach for that Wally.

339

This is all on me.

340

I got you.

341

Why are you smiling so hard?

342

It's nothing.

343

Feels good to be with someone who values me.

344

That's all.

345

I got you.

346

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.
