Shadowing-Übung: replacing my screen time with hobbies & learning ⭐️ reading, courses, yoga, painting - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

it is sunday morning

and today we're having another no scroll day we're going to be replacing my screen time with hobbies

and i'm really excited about this

because i did this video a couple of weeks ago honestly

it made me realize i do not spend enough time on my hobbies

and now that i'm pregnant i'm five months pregnant i'm realizing

that life is about to change a lot for the first

couple of years I'm sure I'm not going to be able

to have like a whole Sunday full of doing my hobbies

so we're really making the most of it and that's what we're doing today.

Let's look at my average screen time last week.

It was five hours and 35 minutes.

Not good.

Honestly I feel like ever since I've been pregnant I've been scrolling more on TikTok

because I'm like saving all the baby stuff

and like all the things I need to do all the things I need to buy.

Honestly it's a little bit overwhelming so I'm excited

that today we're not going into any of that

and I'm just fully putting time into doing the things

that are good for me that make me feel good

so we have a little general list of things i want to do today

but i don't want to have like a very very specific plan

so we're going to kind of go with the flow

because i could make this super detailed plan

but i think it kind of defeats the purpose i think

when you set a time of like okay i'm going to do this hobby for this long

and i'm going to do this for this long you're kind of not on the flow

but what i do know is since it's morning i'm going

to start with my morning pages we're going to journal a little on my iPad

and then we'll just see where the day takes us.

We're gonna set up a cozy atmosphere.

I'm gonna make myself some tea, maybe put on some incense.

One of you guys let me know

that putting on incense too much is actually very bad so thank you for letting me know.

So now I just do it kind of like on special occasions.

So like Sunday morning we're gonna put a little bit of jazz or something, I don't know.

Get some tea, have some incense and also super random but I want to show you guys my little bump.

This is how we're looking right now.

I didn't show you guys my bump in my pregnancy q a

which was my last video which i realized was kind of crazy

because i'm just talking about my pregnancy for the whole video

and i didn't even show where we're at but today

or tomorrow we're 24 weeks honestly this already feels

so big for me so the fact

that we're only at 24 weeks like we're just over halfway we have a lot of growth coming

which is very exciting

we were aiming to get three pages for the morning pages

but i got two and then my hand gave out

so for now it's okay but now i'm gonna go to a cafe

while it's still early

and have a little study session i want to romanticize the

study session obviously i could do it at home i would love to do it in like a public library

or something like i really love the public libraries in barcelona in London like I really miss them

but here as far as I'm aware there's no public library on this island

so we're gonna go to a cafe we're gonna romanticize this little study session

and I'm gonna be working through my yoga teacher training course I've been talking about this in my recent videos

but I hadn't mentioned that it was a prenatal yoga teacher training course

so I'm already certified to teach yoga in general

but I want to specifically take advantage of the time

while I have my little baby bump to also film some classes for other pregnant women because

obviously I can film those classes

when I'm not pregnant as long as I have the knowledge

and I have the certification and all of that

but I want to specifically film it while I have my bump

because then I can really feel what the viewer is going to feel also at the same time

so I'm on a little bit of a time crunch

because the course is very long there's a lot of information there's a lot of things to know

and this is not the type of information you want to

rush through like I really need it to really settle in my brain

so hopefully I make some good progress in this course today

i'm back home

and my brain is fried in the best way possible what

i ended up doing is i actually went a couple of lectures back

and i wanted to retake some of the notes

because i've been watching a lot of the lectures

but not actually writing any of the information down so

that is what we've been doing and it was

so nice to just write everything out again like i miss

that i think that's something that I did all the time

when I was in school when I was studying or

when I was in uni I always was writing notes with my own hand

but then when school finished I just kind of stopped writing by hand I just started typing everything up

and I missed this so so so so freaking much

and sometimes I just forget that I have an ipod

and I could just write stuff like I don't have to type things in I think the reason for

that is because I have not actually used my ipod for years to write

because it was always quite uncomfortable like I would try to get like different pencil cases

and I would try all these different things

but the thing is the screen itself was kind of just like either it was too slippery

or it was the other way around like it didn't kind of let my hand slide

and there was always a problem and it was never comfortable

so I never really took notes on my iPad

but recently I've been using Paperlike and it made such a huge difference

because it actually feels like paper so it's this screen protector

that honestly like you cannot even tell that it's on right now

because it's so thin but it makes such a big difference in the experience

and I have tried a lot of different screen protectors.

Trust me, this is the only one that actually makes it feel like you're just writing in a notebook.

And on top of that, it actually works as a screen protector as well.

100

So it just is protecting my iPad from like any scratches or anything.

101

I just feel like it's made a really, really, really big difference.

102

Paperlike is actually the sponsor of today's video and I would really highly recommend.

103

It's also really cool how their application system works.

104

Maybe I still have the video from when I reapplied like my new screen protector a couple of weeks ago, but they have this like butterfly application system which is

105

so freaking cool it walks you along how to do it

106

and it really makes sure

107

that there's like no dust no bubbles nothing it's really really well made

108

but anyway my point is if you want to do anything on your ipad

109

if you want to write if you want to draw

110

if you want to take notes literally anything on your ipad

111

that would require an apple pencil

112

and you want it to actually feel like paper paper like is for sure the way to go

113

but anyway right now it's a lot gloomier and my energy is kind of low now.

114

Like I think because I was studying

115

and I was using my brain a lot

116

and then I drove back home and it was really hot

117

and now I'm like in my bedroom in the AC and I'm like, I don't wanna go anywhere.

118

But my plan was to go to the gym to get my steps in and I also started a new book.

119

Let me show you.

120

I cannot find my book.

121

Okay, nevermind.

122

I cannot find my Kindle, but this is the book.

123

I think it's called Fourth Wing.

124

I started reading it a long time ago, but then I stopped.

125

I don't remember when, like at chapter five.

126

So a couple of days ago, I started rereading it.

127

And the plan is to now go to the gym, get my steps in and keep reading that book.

128

But I need to go find it.

129

It must not be far because I was literally reading yesterday, but I just cannot find it right now.

130

But it's somewhere here.

131

Okay, Kindle is acquired.

132

It was charging and I just completely forgot that it was charging.

133

My gym clothes are on.

134

I have my book.

135

Let's go walk and read. so i'm

136

back from the gym i got to like chapter 13 and fourth wing i'm honestly really really really enjoying it.

137

I wanted to read something that was not romance.

138

I do think there are a lot of elements of romance here

139

but it's more of like a fantasy book and so far this is not disappointing at all.

140

I really like it and I also like the fact

141

that it's a series because I like the idea of starting a series like a book series

142

but the really famous ones like for example Akatar.

143

I don't know if I'm pronouncing that right but I always hear

144

so much about that book series but it overwhelms me

145

because first of all there are so many books in

146

that book series

147

and second of all like the books just look really really

148

thick i mean maybe this book is also thick i don't actually know i haven't seen it in real life

149

but the fact that this only has three books makes it feel a lot more digestible

150

and yeah so far i'm a really big fan it's nice to read something else

151

that is not just like a romance

152

but anyway now it's evening time i'm home i'm cozy i have showered and we are gonna do all the really

153

fun hobbies the choice

154

that we have is number one we have a little paint

155

by numbers i'm already halfway through with this one it's actually a little weird

156

because this paint by numbers already has color on it

157

but the color is not the same as the paint

158

but the only color i've done so far is this like orange color

159

which is like all over the picture but i can't show you

160

but under this orange color it was like the most muted muted muted like almost grayish orange

161

and then when i started painting it was like this vibrant orange

162

so I think this image even though it's a paint by numbers it looks like it's already colored

163

but I think the final image is going to look a lot more vibrant than this

164

which is exciting there's a little bit of an element of surprise

165

and then we have our iconic sudoku I feel like you can never go wrong with the sudoku

166

and also Rubik's cube so what I'm going to be doing

167

while I'm doing all these things is I'm going to be curating a little playlist

168

which is another little hobby kind of thing because I don't really spend time I'm now making playlists.

169

Before, I spent a lot of time creating a certain atmosphere.

170

I like I have some basic playlists

171

that is like specific languages like all my Spanish songs all my Russian songs

172

but I also have some playlists that are like a very specific vibe

173

and I love those playlists like I spend time to make them

174

but then I actually listen to them a lot and right now

175

because I'm going through like a very certain era of my life like becoming a mom for the first time

176

and being pregnant and all of this I feel like it would be nice to kind of capture this moment

177

through music and then maybe in the future

178

if I ever want to kind of like remember what it

179

was like being in this moment where like there's a lot of exciting things coming

180

and I'm scared and I'm excited

181

and I'm I don't know what life is gonna look like

182

and all these things I'm gonna listen to this playlist

183

and I think I could like tap into

184

that feeling again you know like

185

that feeling of something new is coming something big is coming I'm just gonna be like painting

186

and listening to the song

187

and being like does this song align right now to this little period of my life

188

and then if it does I'll add it to the playlist

189

and then we'll see maybe later like after an hour I'm just gonna like watch a movie with my boyfriend

190

while I do these things

191

but we're not gonna set a timer we're just gonna do a big old time lapse

192

and just do what the heart desires literally I don't know

193

if the camera is gonna pick it up well

194

but I want to show you the difference between the actual paint color

195

and then the color that is beneath the color it looks a little messy

196

but if you look on top you see this like vibrant kind of yellowy orange color this is the color

197

that goes on top of that so it's very much a different color

198

i think i'm gonna need your guys's help with this playlist

199

because i've been listening to songs for the past hour

200

so far we only have five songs and three of those songs are songs

201

that i already knew ahead of time i'll be putting in there

202

so like breathe in by ariana grande for some reason

203

that just feels very fitting i really love

204

that song then also promises by jenay aiko and some abba songs

205

but don't hate me not the original ones from the mamma mia soundtrack

206

because i grew up watching the mamma mia movies

207

that is how i know abba maybe i should listen to the og abba

208

but i listen to the mamma mia soundtrack sue me but

209

if somebody has songs that fit into this vibe

210

that kind of resonate with that moment

211

that i'm talking about please let me know it's nice

212

that it's there now it has its base songs

213

and as i go about life i will just slowly add a song add a song add a song

214

and i think it will be nice to look back at

215

that playlist anyway i did a little bit of everything honestly

216

that was really really fun now i'm probably just gonna do some yoga

217

and go to sleep and it's gonna be it for my day you

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.
