39

40
This is important.
41
Make sure you thank the interviewer for giving you the opportunity to be interviewed for the position.

Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Bedingungssätze if + Satz, will/would + Verb – eine Bedingung und ihre Folge | if you hire me, I will be |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | have gained · have prepared · I've worked |

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 3 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel don't, I've. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/, negotiate /nəˈɡəʊ.ʃi.eɪt/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: industrious /ɪnˈdʌstɹi.əs/, incorporate /ɪŋˈkɔɹ.pɚ.eɪt/, collaborate /kəˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/, accelerate /ɪkˈsɛl.əˌɹeɪt/, qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): hardworking /ˈhɑːɹdˌwɜːɹ.kɪŋ/, qualification /ˌkwɑlɪfɪˈkeɪʃən/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, strive /ˈstɹaɪv/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: standout /ˈstændaʊt/, collaborate /kəˈlæb.ə.ɹeɪt/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Beginne mit 0,75-facher Geschwindigkeit, sprich Satz für Satz nach und wechsle zur normalen Geschwindigkeit, sobald es leichtfällt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie interviewer, tutorial, industrious.
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.
