Shadowing-Übung: The Best TINY Tech on the Internet! - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
This is the tiniest tech that you'll actually want to carry every day.
2
So the goals are simple.
3
We've had to find gadgets that cover every possible situation.
4
Each one has to provide a high-end experience, but in the most compact way possible.
5
If something needs charging, it charges with USB-C, because it's just easy.
6
And everything is black or silver, because it looks stealthy AF.
7
And they were the only colors we could get it all in.
8
So let's start small and just keep getting smaller.
9
Believe it or not, every single thing on this table will actually fit into this one tiny sling bag, beginning with something that's typically pretty hard to reduce in size.
10
Water.
11
This pocket flask from Labo Mono is my absolute favorite right now because it holds 250ml of drink.
12
It doesn't leak in the slightest.
13
If it did, we'd have a bit of a problem right now.
14
Thanks to this valve that needs you to bite down on it.
15
And the more you drink...
16
Chug, chug, chug.
17
The smaller it gets.
18
Fording up to literally a quarter of its original size.
19
But smaller still is our power bank.
20
This tiny thing here from Baseus, I think, has to have the greatest size-to-output ratio of any compact battery.
21
So the thing's barely bigger than an AirPods case.
22
It delivers 45 watts of power, which is just enough to also be able to charge most thin and light laptops, has a braided USB-C cable built in to do that,
23
with an extra port to stick a second cable in, cable in and it has a 10 000 milliamp hour capacity
24
which might not sound all that special
25
if you search on amazon for the best mini power bank you'll almost definitely find one with apparently similar specs
26
and a thousand glowing reviews like this also supposedly 10 000 milliamp hours
27
but they're kind of lying to you
28
and to show you what i mean i drained two identical phones completely flat
29
and then plugged them in the left phone into our baseus the right one into our amazon power bank
30
and both managed to get the phones to exactly 55 after 20 minutes
31
which is great but while
32
that process drained the amazon brick all the way till 56
33
remaining base still had 74 that's a colossal difference especially considering the quoted capacities are the same
34
so we'll bag this and don't cheap out on your power banks
35
because there are differences in the quality of battery in terms of how much energy they waste
36
and even whether the company is quoting the rated max capacity or the typical usable capacity.
37
But it's the charger we found that I'd say is really testing the limits of compact engineering.
38
This thing seriously blows my mind
39
because even like two years ago I'd have told you this is the best three-in-one wireless charger.
40
It has your phone on top, your earphones just behind there and then watches with this little sidearm.
41
But now look at this!
42
The Cuxu X40 Turbo which I would say is genuinely less than one-third of the volume,
43
still charges all three things and this is Qi 2.2 wireless charging so 25 watts of power instead of 15.
44
The only way something like that's possible is to just not waste a millimeter with this design
45
and everything we've tested from Anker and Belkin currently is still just bulkier with no extra benefit.
46
And then to power the thing the smallest 65 watt brick in the world from Rolling Square.
47
Just to give you an idea of how insane that is, this is 65 watts.
48
This is the latest 70 watt charging brick from Apple.
49
Just like the wireless charger, this is basically the theoretical limit with current tech for how tiny you can go while still being high performance.
50
And obviously that's with the absolutely enormous UK plug on the end of it.
51
The US version is even tinier, although also worse for reasons that are not up for debate.
52
And I'm pairing that with the Nomad USB-C charge key.
53
This tiny keyring supports up to 240 watts of power and 10 gigabits per second data transfer.
54
And the tips are magnetic, so they snap together.
55
I don't think there is a tinier, more hassle-free way to always make sure you have full-speed USB-C with you.
56
It's just dawning on me how many more products we have to still fit in here.
57
Thank goodness they are getting increasingly minuscule.
58
Like this is our towel from Matador.
59
It's basically made of a nanofiber that can absorb a lot more than it looks like.
60
It's actually absorbent enough that if push comes to shove, you could use this tiny thing to dry your whole body.
61
Yes, I've tried it.
62
No, that footage will not be making it to YouTube.
63
No behave, baby.
64
But just to give you an idea, this is the company's full-size towel, which also does not take up a lot of space.
65
Really not exaggerating when I say full size.
66
So this is 200 mils of water.
67
We'll fold this towel up, stick it in.
68
Let's come back to that in a bit to see how much liquid it's picked up.
69
Now one piece of tech that is practically impossible to miniaturize effectively is the speaker.
70
Because as a general rule, the smaller the speaker, the less air it's going to be able to push, and therefore the less thump it's going to be able to create.
71
But the OneVibe Go from MoMax is, in my testing, the absolute best compromise.
72
So this is the iPhone speaker, max volume.
73
And then this is the MoMax.
74
It doesn't defy the laws of physics, but it is just small enough that you could throw it into a sling or a pocket, but just big enough that you could host a whole house party on this thing.
75
Okay, maybe a flat party.
76
And it still has water resistance, as well as an actually usable, realistic battery life of like eight hours, with one extra trick.
77
It's also a MagSafe phone stand.
78
Things that do lots of things, good for a compact setup.
79
While we're saving space, why don't we also just trim down the biggest pocket filler, the wallet, to its most minimal possible form with the Secrid Card Protector Plus.
80
I showed you guys the original card protector on our last EDC video, and we've been using it every day since because it is so thin, stops any of your cards bending,
81
it's RFID blocking, it has this very slick ejecting mechanism, all while still holding five to six cards.
82
And this plus is just an even better version of it with an even tighter grip on your cards
83
and a fluted design.
84
It's very fun to play with.
85
I'm yet to see a better wallet than this.
86
So you can go right in the very front.
87
Now if you're someone who wears sunglasses on the daily, well, A, I'm very jealous of you,
88
but also B, you've almost definitely felt the pain of your storage case tripling the space that things take up.
89
So this company called Lenswrapper, actually just understood that name, has made something titty-er.
90
They've decided that the important thing is to protect the lenses, so this wraps around them and then the arms go outside.
91
Okay, well they were right.
92
You obviously use some protection, but yeah, this is a pretty solid compromise for the space that it saves you.
93
That said, if you want to do this properly, then you can't beat the Rove foldable sunglasses.
94
I think they look sick.
95
I've been using a pair for years now with no durability issues, while being so thin that you could probably use them as a knife.
96
And these things, they fold down into something that is literally half the size of even that.
97
Difference is crazy.
98
Only thing is, they absolutely make you pay for the privilege.
99
This is $175, which for 15 grams of material is nuts.
100
I feel like we always see flashlights in everyday carry gear videos, and I'm always skeptical because your phone already has one that's already enough for most situations.
101
So the only way that, to me, a dedicated flashlight makes sense is
102
if it's both much brighter than your phone without taking up a lot of extra space.
103
Thankfully, this is both.
104
So let's say it's 3am.
105
You're jolted away by a noise.
106
Footsteps.
107
They're coming from nearby.
108
Your heart is in your throat.
109
So you reach out, you grab your Clarus E5 Ultra flashlight and edge towards the door.
110
Oh my God, there is someone there.
111
And they are literally just around the corner.
112
So you bolt through the doorway, you flash your light and find out it's your employee who ran out of his own dory toes.
113
Phew, that's a relief.
114
If though you picked up your phone instead of that flashlight, basically all you can see is an ominous silhouette which somehow makes the whole thing even more terrifying.
115
Whoops.
116
Yeah, I just love this thing because it has this spotlight mode that you've seen, but Then also, flick the switch down, that's floodlight, which has a much wider vision,
117
plus a red light to use as a beacon, which is again extremely bright, plus a magnet to snap it onto things, plus a clip, so you can even whack it onto your bag strap like this
118
and light your way with the floodlight while keeping both hands free.
119
So obviously we've already got this sling bag that we're packing all of our gadgets into, but what if you wanted to buy a few more bits while you're away?
120
Well, that's where the NanoBag Daypack comes in.
121
Would you believe me if I said this was a backpack?
122
I think it's not great.
123
Oh, yeah, fair enough.
124
A backpack with two straps, a zipper, that itself weighs only about 30 grams, but is able to carry 30 kilograms worth of weight.
125
30 kilograms being a lot of improvised weapons, should you hear the dreaded 3 a.m creaking.
126
It's also kind of surreal how it stays permanently connected to this miniature cover, so that you are always ready to just stuff it down and fold it back into itself.
127
Time to get this bag in my bag.
128
Now once in a blue moon when I do actually leave the house, the one thing I always regret not having around is some hand sanitizer.
129
I've been waiting all video to make that joke and I don't think it was worth it.
130
This is great.
131
It's flat, so it slips very easily into front pockets.
132
It's refillable.
133
It smells like, I wouldn't go as far as to say cologne, but like somewhere halfway between hand sanitizer and that.
134
But I also just find the idea of hand sanitizer so much more convenient than, you know, traveled soap sheets, because they need water, which you're not always going to have.
135
The amount of functionality we've already crammed into this sling is beyond me slipped back into my handbag.
136
But the biggest issue with emergency gear, whether it's a sanitizer or a power bank, is remembering to top the thing up.
137
And that's where I think the rolling square battery is genius.
138
So yes, I did already show you an amazing power bank earlier, but in my experience, there are two kinds of power bank users.
139
There are, well, people like me, who are always on their phones, tablets, and laptops, and just like the idea of keeping everything topped up.
140
That's who the bassiest one is for.
141
But then there's also the people who are just phone users
142
and they want to power bank more as an emergency backup for their phone.
143
That's who this is for.
144
It's small enough that you can slide it onto your keys.
145
So we're only talking 2000 milliamp hours of juice, but that is still enough to get most modern phones from completely flat to about 25% charge.
146
I really like how you can just snap the power bank off, revealing both a USB-C cable baked inside and a second cable that is actually both micro USB and lightning.
147
I am a strong advocate for USB-C everything, but this is an emergency power bank.
148
And in an emergency, sometimes you are rescuing your friends
149
and family who may not have the same regard for the latest technologies.
150
But this is what makes me go from like to love.
151
They give you a magnetic dock with the thing.
152
This is how you charge the power bank, but the magnet is also strong enough to support your whole set of keys.
153
So it creates this automatic system where you come home, you need to stick your keys up somewhere anyway, And then by sticking them here, you make sure that the next time you need to go somewhere,
154
you are completely charged and ready to go again.
155
But now we're getting into what I would call the micro realm with the AirFly 2.
156
It's a little situational, but if you are a big plane traveler, it feels like a must.
157
Excuse me.
158
Goodness, this is cozy.
159
Because while the very newest planes have Bluetooth, which means your nice wireless earphones can pair directly to the screen, Most planes still don't, meaning
160
that the only way you can listen is those wired headphones they throw out
161
that honestly wouldn't feel too generous as part of a happy meal.
162
So the idea is you plug your AirFly in
163
and this effectively gives the plane the Bluetooth that you need to connect the earphones you want.
164
Actually, two sets of earphones so you can watch the same movie as the person sitting next to you.
165
Does that work for you?
166
But let's say the content selection on this plane is just terrible, which it usually is.
167
Here's what I'm doing right now.
168
I'm currently on a bit of a K-drama streak, so I just finished The Glory, which is literally the second best TV show I have ever watched in my life.
169
And so next on my list is Night Has Come.
170
The problem is you can't watch Night Has Come on Netflix in the UK.
171
So we need to pull up Surfshark VPN, our sponsor, change the location to South Korea, and then we can not just watch it but also download the entire show for our plane journey,
172
which is gonna be a hell of a lot more enjoyable than watching the Meg 2 for the seventh time.
173
Not to mention that even if not for the plane journey, you'll probably want a VPN anyway for security on the horrific public Wi-Fi at the airport,
174
and to be able to have seamless internet while you're away as if you never left home.
175
And if you go to surfshark.com slash boss, you can get it for $2 a month with four extra months for free for as many people as you want.
176
Your other option, of course, would be to play a game.
177
And I think the Atom controller is a very interesting proposition for that.
178
Because this can connect to your phone, it can connect to your PC, but the most important one, because there's no alternative if you don't have a controller, a Nintendo Switch or Switch 2.
179
Can I have what you're having?
180
Is it drinkable?
181
Yeah, it's fizzy lemon.
182
Okay, this isn't just like water with loads of food covering it.
183
It's obviously a little too small to properly wrap your hands around, but Prisha, my wife, loves it.
184
It's such a fruity pink cocktail.
185
And I think it really comes into its own when you're planning on playing four to eight player multiplayer on the go, because I mean a bag of these is a lot more portable than a bag of these,
186
or even Joy-Cons.
187
Okay, let's stow these away into the carry-on.
188
There you go, there you go.
189
Thank you very much.
190
We can't have an everyday carry without a multi-tool.
191
I mean, how else am I gonna aggressively offer to fix someone's loose cabinet hinge at a house party.
192
And for this setup, all roads have led me to the Leatherman Micro.
193
Part of it is just the fact that this doesn't overlap as much with the other things we're already packing.
194
Like this is Victorinox's mini multi-tool, for example.
195
Best parts of this are a flashlight, which we already have a better one of, and a pen, which I'm about to show you a better one of.
196
Plus, I find some of these tools so fiddly.
197
Like, what am I meant to cut with this?
198
Whereas the Leatherman, to me, feels as small as you can go without feeling like a Christmas cracker toy.
199
It's got a bottle opener, unboxing knife, three different types of screwdriver, even a 12 centimeter ruler.
200
But what if you need to measure more than 12 centimeters?
201
This is the Midori XS tape measure.
202
I never really thought of myself as someone who would carry a tape measure wherever I go, but this thing's so tiny that you kind of might as well.
203
It's really satisfying to pull out.
204
It comes in so easily and it can measure up to a meter and a half.
205
You can buy fancier and more expensive tapes like this one made of titanium, but in my experience the mechanism here isn't actually as reliable as the Midori.
206
It gets caught every now and again.
207
I love it when the cheap option is actually the better option.
208
But what's probably more handy than always being ready to find
209
out the exact centimeter length of what you see on the go is a little carrying case.
210
Now that I've reached the wise age of 30, I take a couple of supplements.
211
You know, for the wisdom.
212
And this case by Curved is so good for a few pills
213
or gum or coins or they even sell earplugs specifically made to fit nicely.
214
It's easy to open and close, it's waterproof and it comes with this sleeve that lets you in the lowest hassle way possible, clip it onto things.
215
AirTags have just been upgraded for the first time ever, so you can now precision find them from 50% further away, and the speakers on them for location are like 50% louder too.
216
So let's say I was incredibly dense and I lost it there.
217
Oh yeah.
218
I feel like you could hear that probably at least a floor above, maybe two.
219
Considering that the AirTag 1s are already the most reliable trackers in my testing.
220
This feels like a bit of a no-brainer.
221
The only thing I'm adding to that, which can be very useful, is a fabric sticker.
222
It just keeps your AirTag in its own designated place that's near the edge of your bag, so it's got the best chance of being picked up.
223
But you are not ready for the most insane price-to-size ratio of any product in this video, but also the most insane performance-to-size ratio.
224
This is ShiftCam's Creator SSD.
225
How much storage do you think this adds to your phone?
226
Considering that this is Samsung's latest SSD and this is 2TB.
227
2TB.
228
This has as much storage as this.
229
And while it isn't as fast, it's still fast enough that you can use this to record ProRes footage directly from your iPhone.
230
Which looks a lot better than this normal footage
231
and is about the most demanding thing that most people would want from their phones.
232
Is it cheap?
233
Hell no. But is it an incredible product if you do splash out?
234
Yes, it's shockproof, splashproof, dustproof, and they even give you this little extender so it still fits nicely while you've got a case on.
235
And we can actually close the front pocket.
236
It's happening.
237
And now from read and write to write.
238
Sorry.
239
And it is the tiniest pen that I could actually see myself using.
240
I'm not normally too fussed about materials, but this being made of titanium is kind of the reason that it's strong enough for you to transform it like this,
241
doubling the thing's length but still without it feeling like I'm one misplaced apostrophe from snapping the thing in half.
242
Very smooth writing experience too, although I have no idea why it needed to be so spiky on the end.
243
It takes up like negative space.
244
But perhaps nothing embodies this video better than the Casio ring watch.
245
This is literally like someone took a normal, classy, high-end Casio watch and hit it with a shrink ray.
246
The watch module is designed to be approximately a replica at one tenth of the scale.
247
And it's just so sick that all the watch functions, stopwatch, alarm, LED backlight, dual time, they're all here, just miniaturized.
248
And to make this on a scale like this, it does actually require a lot of cutting edge manufacturing.
249
What's the time?
250
It is 1101.
251
Honestly, this is like very readable.
252
Kind of wish Apple did one of these.
253
I can't tell if I look unconventional Like a donut.
254
Would you find it cool if someone's checking their ring watch in front of you?
255
Yeah, yeah.
256
You would.
257
Okay, well there you go.
258
I can't actually tell if this is designed to be a joke product or not, but I respect the hell out of the ambition and execution.
259
So, what's underneath this towel?
260
Okay, towel is still wet.
261
Oh my goodness.
262
Look at that.
263
It has taken all the water.
264
It's really impressive for something that's the thickness of like a kitchen towel.
265
Only question now then, does this bag close?
266
Have we done it?
267
Or do we need to start the video from scratch?
268
Three, two, one.
269
Look at that.
270
I'm so proud of this, honestly.
271
Okay, hope you found this useful.
272
I'll catch you in the next one.

- Die „th“-Laute: thickness /ˈθɪknəs/, tenth /tɛnθ/, theoretical /ˌθi.əˈɹɛt.ɪ.kəl/, underneath /ˌʌndɚˈniθ/
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: flashlight /ˈflæʃˌlaɪt/, splash /splæʃ/, proposition /ˌpɹɑpəˈzɪʃən/, ambition /æmˈbɪʃ.ən/, precision /pɹɪˈsɪʒ.ən/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: sanitizer /ˈsænɪtaɪzɚ/, titanium /taɪˈteɪni.əm/, proposition /ˌpɹɑpəˈzɪʃən/, supposedly /səˈpoʊ̯.zɪd.li/, theoretical /ˌθi.əˈɹɛt.ɪ.kəl/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): watt /wɑt/, wireless /ˈwaɪ(jə)ɹ.ləs/, microwave /ˈmaɪkɹoʊˌweɪv/, wallet /ˈwɑl.ət/, halfway /ˌhæfˈweɪ/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: microwave /ˈmaɪkɹoʊˌweɪv/, fold /ˈfəʊld/, plug /plʌɡ/, compromise /ˈkɑmpɹəˌmaɪz/, absorb /æbˈsɔɹb/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: flashlight /ˈflæʃˌlaɪt/, sanitizer /ˈsænɪtaɪzɚ/, compact /kəmˈpækt/, gadget /ɡæd͡ʒ.ɪt/, kilogram /ˈkɪləɡɹæm/
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 watt, towel, earphone.
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.
