Far away?

Like, we would all need to move there together?
61
I honestly don't know yet.
62
I need some time to decide.
63
Mom, what do you think the right thing to do is here?
64
I don't know.
65
I honestly just don't know right now, Anna.
66
If I were you right now, I would take it.
67
I really would.
68
David, it is really not that simple.
69
It's complicated now.
70
If we were all together in Seattle, we would be just fine.
71
What should mom do?
72
Type A or B and comment down below.
73
I need some quiet time alone to really think this through.
74
Seattle schools are good.
75
But the cost of living is high.
76
I feel nervous just looking at all of these big numbers.
77
But this has always been my dream.
78
I worked hard for this.
79
Maybe I can find a way to make this work well for all of us.
80
Em, are you coming to bed soon?
81
It is getting pretty late Not yet I'm still working through some important things here Don't stay up too late
82
Staying up won't help you decide I just want to make sure I have the right numbers first
83
The numbers won't tell you what to choose, Emily Not tonight I know that already Just give me a little time,
84
please Okay I'll be right there in the kitchen if you need me.
85
If I were a little braver, I would just choose right now.
86
But I keep thinking about Anna and about Peter all the time.
87
What if moving there turns out to be the wrong choice for them?
88
If she were here right now, I would just tell her the truth.
89
Just be honest with yourself, Emily.
90
What do you really want?
91
Okay.
92
The truth is, I want this job.
93
I really want my dream.
94
But I am not honest enough to say that out loud to anyone
95
Not yet Not until I know for sure that everyone will be okay David?
96
What is this paper sitting here on the table for me?
97
I wrote some things down last night I made it just for you.
98
You made two columns.
99
Reasons to go and reasons to stay here.
100
I wanted to be honest with you about how I really feel, Em.
101
You wrote all of this?
102
You stayed up alone and wrote all this?
103
I didn't want to choose for you But I wanted you to know everything
104
This last line here
105
You said you can't miss me every single week I can't That is the honest truth I am just not strong enough
106
David, I really didn't know that you felt this strongly about it You didn't ask me.
107
And I never said anything about it to you.
108
I think that is honestly on both of us, if we are being fair.
109
Did you two actually stay up together all through the night?
110
A little bit.
111
Not the whole night, but...
112
Most of it, I think.
113
Okay, that is actually kind of really sweet.
114
You two know that.
115
Quick quiz time.
116
What does the word honest actually mean here?
117
Option A, being kind and friendly to everyone who is around you.
118
Option B, being brave and very strong when hard things come up.
119
Option C, telling the truth, even when it is very difficult to say.
120
Yes.
121
Honest means truthful.
122
Was dad being honest with mom last night?
123
I need to call them right now.
124
I have to do this one thing first.
125
Hello.
126
This is Emily Miller calling about the director position.
127
I'm calling because I need to say...
128
I'm sorry but I need to say no. Miss Miller, we understand completely.
129
We also offer a remote option with just one short trip each month.
130
What do you think?
131
Wait.
132
There is a remote option?
133
I had no idea that was possible.
134
I'll let her to charge her, so...
135
Yes, we thought you might prefer to stay close to your family there.
136
Why didn't I ask about this sooner?
137
I never once even asked them Emily, what just happened on that call?
138
What did they say to you?
139
There is a remote option I never knew because I never asked anyone Oh,
140
well that actually sounds like some really good news then, right?
141
No. No, David, it is not good news.
142
Please think about why that is.
143
I honestly don't understand what you mean right now, Emily.
144
I chose for you.
145
For Anna, and for Peter.
146
All by myself, David.
147
I thought I was helping everyone, but I was not being honest at all.
148
Emily, I know you were only trying to protect all of us from worry.
149
I didn't let a single person choose.
150
I just made the whole decision.
151
If you were more honest with us, what would you have done differently?
152
If I were honest, I would have asked everyone so much sooner than this.
153
And if you had asked us, we would have told you exactly what we needed.
154
I am so very sorry.
155
I am really and truly sorry for all of this.
156
I don't feel brave enough right now.
157
That is honestly the full truth.
158
I worked so hard for this dream.
159
for such a very long time now and here i am sitting alone
160
and holding this old thing in my hands i wore this at my very first job interview that was 10 years ago
161
back then i knew without any doubt exactly what i wanted from life
162
Or if I just quietly stopped saying what I wanted out loud to people
163
Em I'm right here with you You don't have to carry this alone David,
164
I want to ask you something completely honest right now, okay?
165
If I were only thinking of myself here, what would you want me to do?
166
If you were only thinking of yourself in this moment right now, I would want you to take it.
167
I genuinely and completely mean that.
168
You really mean that?
169
Even after everything you wrote on that paper?
170
The woman who knows what she wants.
171
Don't ever let her go or lose her.
172
I will not lose her.
173

174

177

178
My hands were honestly shaking the whole entire time.
179
But you were honest with everyone about what you wanted this time, right?
180
Yes.
181
Finally, I was completely honest.
182
And it felt so good to be.
183
If we all talk more and ask more questions, we will be okay together.
184
And now Mom finally gets to choose what is right for herself this time.
185
Yes, I get to choose now.
186
And I choose all of us. That is my answer.
187
Hey, wait.
188
Wait, did anyone actually read the very back page of all this?
189
Have Y.O ever not asked for something that you really, truly wanted?
190
Because you were too scared of hearing what the answer might be?

Kontext & Hintergrund
Der Dialog in dem Video handelt von einer Familie, die mit einer wichtigen Entscheidung konfrontiert ist: eine Jobangebot in Seattle, das die Leben aller verändern könnte. Die natürliche Gesprächsführung macht es perfekt für Lerner auf A2-Niveau, um alltägliche Kommunikation zu üben. Die Szenen sind emotional und realistisch, was es einfacher macht, sich in die Situation hineinzuversetzen – ideal fürs Lernen mit YouTube!
Top 5 Sätze für den täglichen Gebrauch
- "I just need a quiet minute." – Perfekt, um Ruhe zu bitten, ohne unhöflich zu klingen.
- "It's nothing serious." – Ein häufiger Satz, um jemanden zu beruhigen.
- "That sounds really great." – Ein einfacher Weg, Freude oder Zustimmung auszudrücken.
- "You didn't say a single thing to me?" – Ein natürlicher Ausdruck von Überraschung oder Verwunderung.
- "Is something wrong here at home?" – Ideal, um nach Sorgen oder Problemen zu fragen.
Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung
Shadowing (oder "shadowspeak") ist eine tolle Methode, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern. So geht's mit diesem Video:
- Schritt 1: Höre den Dialog zuerst einmal komplett an, um den Kontext zu verstehen. Achte auf die Intonation – wie die Stimmen bei Emotionen wie Sorge oder Freude verändern.
- Schritt 2: Wiederhole kurze Abschnitte (2-3 Sätze) direkt nach dem Video. Versuche, die Geschwindigkeit und den Ton zu kopieren. Nutze Pausen, um nicht zu stressen.
- Schritt 3: Fokussiere auf schwierige Wörter, wie "senior director" oder "located". Wiederhole sie einzeln, bis sie flüssig klingen.
- Schritt 4: Mache ein Audio von dir selbst und vergleiche es mit dem Original. So siehst du, wo du noch verbessern kannst – und merkst, wie viel du schon gelernt hast!
Mit solchen Übungen und einem guten shadowing site kannst du schnell Fortschritte machen. Probier's heute noch aus – jede Minute zählt, um dein Englisch zu stärken!
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | have you already known · has always been · have done |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | is located · are allowed |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | everyone who is · woman who knows |
| Past Continuous was/were + -ing – eine Handlung, die zu einem Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit im Gange war | was helping · were only trying · were honestly shaking |
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.
