1
Listen to this everyday English conversation that took place in my home.
2
Don't worry if you don't understand everything.
3
For now, just listen.
4
Hi, I'm Steve.
5
Let's do this.
6
Right, I'm nipping out.
7
Do you need anything?
8
Where are you off to?
9
Post office first I've got a parcel to send.
10
What sort of parcel?
11
It's that bag I flogged on eBay.
12
How much did you get?
13
Only 30 quid but better than chucking it.
14
Too right.
15
What are we doing for lunch?
16
Probably just get a slice from Gregg's.
17
I could just go at Gregg's.
18
Never mind, I'll make cheese on toast or something.
19
Make yourself something proper.
20
Honestly, you're going to end up looking like cheese on toast.
21
What time will you be back?
22
Well, I need to drop some stuff off at the charity shop.
23
It's been sitting in the hall for a fortnight.
24
Is it all that bric -a -brac?
25
Yes, with the move I thought I'd have a clear out.
26
While you're there, ask if they want DVDs.
27
There's a load in the spare room.
28
I can ask, but I'm not sure they take them anymore.
29
Give it a whirl.
30
Are you going near the iPad repair place? Can do.
31
Hang on.
32
Here you go.
33
It keeps freezing.
34
What if they say it can't be fixed?
35
In that case, don't try anywhere else.
36
Just bring it back.
37
Your birthday's soon, so if they can't sort it, maybe you could ask for a new one.
38
That's a good call.
39
Are you going to pop into the estate agents?
40
Defo, it's on my list.
41
We're moving in in a fortnight and we still haven't got the keys.
42
Shocking.
43
Give them down the banks.
44
I'll pick up some lamb chops for tea as well.
45
Nice one.
46
I'll go to that nice butcher's by the station.
47
Smashing.
48
Take care and I'll see you later.
49
See you in a bit.
50
Now we're going to go through that conversation in detail, looking at what was said and why.

52
Stay to the end and you'll get a chance to improve your fast, natural speaking by taking part yourself.
53
First, you heard...
54
Right, I'm nipping out.
55
Do you need anything?
56
To nip somewhere means to go there quickly.
57
It suggests a short trip.
58
I'm nipping to the shops.
59
I'll just nip upstairs.
60
Can you nip out and get some milk?
61
It's very common and very British.
62
You hear it all the time in everyday conversations across the UK.
63
I asked what was in the parcel she was posting and she replied, it's that bag I flogged on eBay.
64
This is a British slang word, vlog.
65
It means to sell something.
66
Use it like this.
67
I got a new bike so I'm flogging my old one.
68
When I asked what she got for the bag, Sarah said, only 30 quid but better than chucking it.
69
Two things here.
70
Quid is British slang for pounds.
71
One quid is one pound.
72
30 quid is 30 pounds.
73
Never changes.
74
You never say quids.
75
It's just quid.
76
And to chuck means to throw something away.
77
To get rid of it.
78
Put the two together and Sarah is saying that 30 pounds isn't much, but it's better than throwing it in the bin.
79
I replied, too right.
80
This is a very English way of saying absolutely or you're completely correct.
81
Strong agreement without hesitation.
82
That film was brilliant.
83
Too right.
84
The weather was awful.
85
Too right.
86
You try.
87
Have you subscribed to my channel?
88
Too right.
89
Sarah said she was going to the most famous chain of bakeries in the UK.
90
Greggs.
91
Probably just get a slice from Greggs.
92
This is a slice, although Greggs are most famous for their sausage rolls.
93
We'll see it in Greggs in another video.
94
And I replied, I could just go a Greggs.
95
Never mind.
96
If you could just go something, it means that you would be really happy if you got it.
97
For example, I could just go a holiday or I could go a cup of tea.
98
Next, you heard me shorten, what time will you be back to?
99
What time will you be back?
100
What time will you be back?
101
This is an example of why English people sound fast when they talk.
102
It's this squashing together of words.
103
You try.
104
This will will become thistle.
105
Life will becomes life -le.
106
And it will becomes it -tle.
107
Next, you heard she was going to a charity shop, which is a shop where people give things for free
108
and then the shop sells them and gives the money to a charity or a good cause.
109
What she was giving was...
110
Is it all that bric -a -brac?
111
This is another way of saying bits and bobs or odds and sods.
112
Small objects for your home.
113
You often find them in charity shops.
114
Next, you heard something that is true for me at the moment.
115
Yes, with the move, I thought I'd have a clear out.
116
When you hear someone talking about the move, it almost always means either moving from home or moving their place of work.
117
And before moving, you often have a clear out, which means getting rid of things that you don't use anymore, like bric -a -brac.
118
Next, you heard me say, Give it a whirl.
119
To give something a whirl means to give it a try, to have a go at something, even if you're not sure it'll work.
120
I've never tried karaoke, but I'll give it a whirl.
121
When I asked about the estate agents, which are people who sell houses, she said, Defo, it's on my list.
122
Defo is short for definitely.
123
You'll hear this a lot in casual conversations, especially among British speakers.
124
Do you fancy some tea?
125
Defo.
126
It's informal, so you defo wouldn't use it in a job interview.
127
But in everyday chat, it's completely natural.
128
Are you sure?
129
Defo.
130
Because we were moving in a fortnight, which is how people say two weeks, and the estate agent hadn't given us the keys,
131
you heard me say, shocking, give them down the banks.
132
Give them down the banks is telling someone to shout and put pressure on them.
133
If someone isn't doing what they're supposed to, you give them down the banks.
134
I was late and my boss gave me down the banks.
135
Now it's your turn to really improve your English conversation skills by taking part yourself.
136
Your words will appear on screen as you need them and for the best results, speak out loud.
137
Where are you off to?
138
What sort of parcel?
139
How much did you get?
140
Too right.
141
What are we doing for lunch?
142
I could just go at Greggs.
143
Never mind.
144
I'll make cheese on toast or something.
145
What time will you be back?
146
Is it all that bric -a -brac?
147
While you're there, ask if they want DVDs.
148
There's a load in the spare room.
149
Give it a whirl.
150
Are you going near the iPad repair place?
151
Hang on, here you go, it keeps freezing.
152
In that case, don't try anywhere else, just bring it back.
153
That's a good call.
154
Are you going to pop into the estate agents?
155
Shocking.
156
Give them down the banks.
157
Smashing.
158
Take care and I'll see you later.
159

Der Sprecher verwendet 44 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel I'll, I'm, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.

  • Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: shock /ʃɔk/, smash /smæʃ/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/, shout /ʃaʊt/, squash /skwɔʃ/
  • Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: hesitation /ˌhɛzɪˈteɪʃən/, karaoke /ˈkæ.ɹiˌəʊ.ki/

  • Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: pound /ˈpaʊ̯nd/, freeze /ˈfɹiːz/, odd /ɑd/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, upstairs /ˌʌpˈstɛɹz/
  • /æ/ — offener als „ä“: charity /ˈtʃæɹɪti/, smash /smæʃ/, fancy /ˈfæn.si/, casual /ˈkæʒ(u)əl/, lamb /ˈlæm/

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.
