Shadowing-Übung: The Ones Where They Work at Central Perk | Friends - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

You got a job?

Are you kidding?

I'm trained for nothing.

I was laughed at 12 interviews today.

And yet you're surprisingly upbeat.

Well, you would be too if you found Joan and David Boots on sale, 50% off.

Oh, how well you know me.

They're my new, I don't need a job, I don't need my parents, I've got great Boots Boots.

How'd you pay for them?

A credit card.

And who pays for that?

Um, my father.

Come on, you can't live off your parents your whole life.

I know that.

That's why I was getting married.

Give her a break.

It's hard being on your own for the first time.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

I remember when I first came to this city, I was 14.

My mom had just killed herself, and my stepdad was back in prison.

And I got here, and I didn't help anybody.

And I ended up living with this albino guy who was, like, cleaning windshields outside Port Authority and then he killed himself.

And then I found aromatherapy.

So believe me, I know exactly how you feel.

The word you're looking for is...

Anyway.

All right.

You ready?

I don't think so.

Oh, come on.

Cut.

Hey!

Welcome to the real world.

It sucks.

You're gonna love it.

I can't believe what I'm hearing here.

What?

I said you had any...

What?

I said you had... Would you stop?

Oh, was I doing it again?

Yes.

Would anybody like more coffee?

Did you make it, or are you just serving it?

I'm just serving it.

Yeah, I'll have a cup of coffee.

Kids, new dream.

I'm in Las Vegas.

I'm Liza Minnelli.

Hey, Phoebe.

Hey, oh, how'd it go?

Um, not so good.

He walked me to the subway and said, we should do this again.

Oh.

What?

He said we should do it again.

That's good, right?

Uh, no. Loosely translated, we should do this again, means you will never see me naked. Since when? Since always.

It's like dating language.

You know, like, it's not you means it is you.

Or you're such a nice guy means I'm gonna be dating leather-wearing alcoholics and complaining about them to you.

Or, you know, I think we should see other people means I already am. And everybody knows this.

Oh, yeah.

Cushions to blow.

Yeah, it's like when you're a kid

and your parents put your dog to sleep and they tell you it went off to live on some farm.

That's funny.

No, because our parents actually did send our dog off to live on a farm.

Uh, Ross?

What?

Hello?

The Milner's farm in Connecticut?

The Milner's, they had this unbelievable farm.

They had horses and then rabbits that he could chase, and it would...

Oh, my God.

Cheat-cheat.

Decaf cappuccino for Joey.

Coffee black.

Latte. And a nice tea.

100

I'm getting pretty good at this.

101

Excellent.

102

Good for me.

103

Rachel?

104

Oh, my God!

105

I swear I've seen birds do this on Wild Kingdom.

106

What are you guys doing here?

107

Well, we were in the city shopping, and your mom said you work here, and it's true.

108

Look at you in the apron.

109

You look like you're in a play.

110

God, look at you.

111

You are so big.

112

I can't believe it.

113

I know.

114

I know.

115

I'm a duplex.

116

So what's going on with you?

117

Well, guess what my dad's making partner in his firm.

118

No. Well, we're on the subject of news.

119

Look, look, I have elbows.

120

Look at the window.

121

There's my name.

122

Hi, me.

123

I remember the day I got my first paycheck.

124

There was a cave-in in one of the mines, and eight people were killed.

125

Wow, you worked in a mine?

126

I worked in a Dairy Queen mine.

127

Oh, God, isn't this exciting?

128

I earned this.

129

I wiped tables for it, I steamed milk for it, and it was totally.. not worth it.

130

Who's FICA?

131

Why's he getting all my money?

132

I mean, what?

133

Chandler, look at that.

134

Oh, this is not that bad.

135

Oh, you're fine.

136

Yeah, for a first job, you can totally, totally live on this.

137

Oh, yeah.

138

Yeah.

139

Hey, by the way, great service to me.

140

Oh, yeah, yeah.

141

Oh, excellent.

142

Uh, Central Perk is proud to present the music of Miss Phoebe Buffay.

143

Whoo!

144

Thanks.

145

Hi.

146

Um, I want to start with a song.

147

I want to start with a song that's about that moment when you suddenly realize what life is really all about.

148

Okay, here we go.

149

Okay, thank you very much.

150

What?

151

Oh, great.

152

This is just...

153

Terry, I know that I haven't worked here very long,

154

but I was wondering, do you think it would be possible if I got a hundred dollar advance on my salary?

155

An advance?

156

It's so that I can spend Thanksgiving with my family.

157

See, every year we go skiing in Vail, and normally my father pays a lot of money.

158

Normally, my father pays for my ticket, but I've sort of started this whole independent thing, you know, which is actually why I took this job.

159

Rachel, Rachel, sweetheart, you're a terrible, terrible waitress.

160

Really, really awful.

161

Okay, I hear what you're saying.

162

I'm with you.

163

But I'm trying really hard, and I think I'm doing better.

164

I really do. Does anybody need coffee?

165

Yeah, over here.

166

Yeah, I do.

167

Oh, Rach, we're running low on resumes over here.

168

Do you really want a job with popular mechanics?

169

Well, if you're gonna work for mechanics, Those are the ones to work for.

170

Hey, look, you guys.

171

I'm going for anything here, okay?

172

I cannot be a waitress anymore.

173

I mean it.

174

I'm sick of the lousy tips.

175

Sick of being called excuse me.

176

Rich, did you proofread these?

177

Uh, yeah.

178

Why?

179

Uh, nothing.

180

I'm sure they'll be impressed with your excellent computer skills.

181

Oh, my God!

182

Oh, do you think it's on all of them?

183

Oh, no, I'm sure the Xerox machine caught a fuel.

184

I was doing great with Julie before I found out about you.

185

Hey, I was doing great before I found out about you.

186

You think it's easy for me to see you with Julie?

187

Well, then you should have said something before I met her.

188

I didn't know then.

189

And how come you never said anything to me?

190

There was never a good time.

191

Right, because you only had a year, and we only hung out every night.

192

Not, not, not every night.

193

You know, and-and it's not like I didn't try, Rachel, but, oh, things got in the way, you know, like-like Italian guys,

194

or ex-fiancés, or-or-or Italian guys.

195

Hey, there was one Italian guy, okay?

196

And do you even have a point?

197

The point is, I-I don't need this right now, okay?

198

It's-it's too late.

199

I'm with somebody else.

200

I'm happy.

201

This ship has sailed.

202

Okay, so what do you say?

203

You just sort of put away feelings, or whatever the hell it was that you felt for me.

204

Hey, I've been doing it since the ninth grade.

205

I've gotten pretty damn good at it.

206

All right, fine.

207

You go ahead and you do that, all right, Ross?

208

All right, all right.

209

I don't need your stupid shit.

210

Good. And you know what?

211

Now I got closure.

212

Oh!

213

Oh, my God.

214

I'm not sure what you're doing.

215

Try the bottom one.

216

Okay, here we go.

217

Honey, I'm sorry.

218

They were all out of apple pie.

219

Someone just got the last piece.

220

Oh, God.

221

Ross, okay, if you care about me at all, you'll get the pie out of the man's hood.

222

Get the what?

223

There's a pie in the hood.

224

Pie in the hood.

225

Go.

226

What are you doing?

227

I'm sorry.

228

My pie was.. was in your hood.

229

Now I just have to get the coffee out of that guy's pants and I'll be back in the hospital by 7.

230

Okay, Chandler and Mon, there's only one banana nut muffin left.

231

Oh, well, I ordered mine first.

232

Yeah, but I'm...

233

I'm so much faster.

234

Give it to me.

235

No. Give it to me.

236

Okay, you can have it.

237

There you go.

238

Enjoy your coffee.

239

That was there when I got here.

240

Hey, you guys.

241

You will never guess who's coming to New York.

242

Quick, Phoebe, tell us before you can swallow.

243

Oh, okay.

244

Ryan, that guy I went out with, who's in the Navy?

245

You went out with a guy in the Navy?

246

Yeah, I met him when I was playing guitar in Washington Square Park.

247

Ryan threw in saltwater taffy because he didn't have any change.

248

Hey, is that when you wrote saltwater taffy, man?

249

No. No, he is my submarine guy.

250

He resurfaces, like, every couple years, and we have the most amazing three days together.

251

Only this time, he's coming for two weeks.

252

Two whole weeks, which means yay!

253

So wait, this guy goes down for like two years at a time?

254

Mm-mm.

255

That'll teach you to lick my muffin.

256

Hey!

257

Hi.

258

Oh, no, what happened?

259

I just spoke to Carol.

260

Ben's got the chicken pox.

261

Oh, no. Yeah, so if you haven't already had it, chances are you're gonna get it.

262

Well, I've had it.

263

Yeah, I've had it. Had it. Had it.

264

I feel so left out.

265

Oh, look!

266

When you have a second later, I want to show you why we don't just trap spiders under coffee mugs and leave them there.

267

I'm training to be better at a job that I hate.

268

My life officially sucks.

269

But, Rach, wasn't it supposed to be a temporary thing?

270

I thought you wanted to do fashion stuff.

271

Well, yeah, I'm still pursuing that.

272

How exactly are you pursuing that?

273

You know, other than sending out resumes like, uh, what, two years ago?

274

Well, I'm also sending out good thoughts.

275

If you ask me, as long as you got this job, you got nothing pushing you to get another one.

276

You need the fear.

277

The fear?

278

He's right.

279

If you quit this job, you then have motivation to go after a job you really want.

280

Well, then how come you're still at a job that you hate?

281

I mean, why don't you quit and get the fear? Because I'm too afraid.

282

I don't know.

283

I mean, I would give anything to work for a designer, you know, or a buyer.

284

Ugh, I just don't want to be 30 and still work here.

285

Yeah, that'd be much worse than being 28 and still working here.

286

Rachel?

287

Yeah?

288

Remind me to review with you which pot is decaf and which is regular.

289

Can't I just look at the handles on them?

290

You would think.

291

Okay, fine.

292

Gunther, you know what?

293

I am a terrible waitress.

294

Do you know why I am a terrible waitress?

295

Because I don't care.

296

I don't care.

297

I don't care which pot is regular and which pot is decaf.

298

I don't care where the tray spot is.

299

I just don't care.

300

This is not what I want to do.

301

So I don't think I should do it anymore.

302

I'm gonna give you my week's notice.

303

What?

304

Gunther, I quit.

305

Does this mean we're gonna have to start paying for coffee?

306

Ross, listen, now, you want anything to drink?

307

Because I'm heading up there.

308

Uh, yeah, I'll take a coffee.

309

Thanks, man.

310

Sure.

311

Coffee?

312

Huh?

313

Coffee?

314

Because I'm going up there.

315

Oh, no, thank you.

316

Okay.

317

You guys need anything?

318

Because I'm heading up there.

319

I'd love, uh, ice water.

320

You got it.

321

Joey, what are you doing?

322

Just being friendly.

323

Joey, I don't think you're supposed to go back there.

324

Uh, it's okay.

325

Right, Gutter?

326

Don't wink at me.

327

You put on your apron.

328

Okay.

329

I don't see you asking any other paying customers to put on aprons.

330

Joey, do you work here?

331

No. Waiter.

332

Yeah.

333

Joey, what's going on?

334

Why didn't you tell us you work here?

335

Well, it's kind of embarrassing, you know?

336

I mean, I was an actor.

337

Now I'm a waiter.

338

It's supposed to go in the other direction. So is your apron.

339

You're wearing it like a cape.

340

I mean, the job's easy and the money's good, you know?

341

And I guess if I'm gonna be hanging out here anyway, I might as well get paid for it, right?

342

I just feel kind of weird serving you guys, you know?

343

Yeah, really?

344

Joey, come on.

345

I did it and it was fine.

346

Yeah, why would it be weird?

347

Hey, Joey, uh, can I get some coffee?

348

Okay, I guess it doesn't seem that weird.

349

Seriously, I asked you before, you still haven't gotten it.

350

See, now it's weird again.

351

I think it's great that you work here.

352

You're gonna make a lot of money, and here's your first tip.

353

Donny Yellow Snow.

354

Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, 215 Coffee House.

355

Well, you know what?

356

This is great.

357

Finally, I have someone I can pass on my wisdom to.

358

Let me tell you about a couple things I learned while working at the coffee house.

359

Um, first of all, the customer is always right.

360

A smile goes a long way.

361

And if anyone is ever rude to you, sneeze muffin.

362

Thanks, Rach.

363

Hey, you guys are just terrific, you know?

364

Now, how about clearing out of here so I can get some new customers, huh?

365

It's all about turnover.

366

Joey, seriously, can I get my coffee?

367

I'm sorry, Ross.

368

I'll get it for you right now.

369

And since I made you wait, I'll toss in a free muffin.

370

That's muffin and espresso, $4.50.

371

Ross, double latte, $2.75.

372

Chandler, coffee and scone, $4.25.

373

And Phoebe's herbal tea, $1.25.

374

So, altogether, that's $12.75.

375

This is coming from the man who couldn't split our $80 phone bill in half.

376

Hi.

377

Hi.

378

How much do I owe for the muffin and latte?

379

Oh, that's on the house, courtesy of Joey Tribbiani.

380

Oh, great.

381

Well, tell him thanks.

382

And since, uh, Joey seems like such a nice guy, maybe we could go on a date sometime.

383

Well, he's not used to women being so forward, but, uh, I could check with him.

384

He says it's okay.

385

Great, thanks.

386

Bye-bye.

387

Hey, Joey, how come our stuff isn't free?

388

It will be when you look like that in a tight skirt.

389

This is great.

390

I'm getting more dates than ever.

391

Wait a minute.

392

Joey, you're only giving away free stuff to the pretty girls?

393

Joey, that is so gross!

394

How about a scone on the house, baby?

395

I'm pretty.

396

What do you mean?

397

Yesterday you said I was too pretty to pay for stuff.

398

It's just I can't because my manager said that I...

399

Happy birthday to you.

400

Happy birthday to you.

401

Happy birthday, dear Annie.

402

Amy.

403

Amy.

404

Happy birthday to you.

405

Hey.

406

Hey, that's weird.

407

Today's my birthday too.

408

Yeah, not in here it isn't.

409

Happy birthday to you.

410

You're paying for that.

411

What?

412

No, no, it's her birthday.

413

You've sung happy birthday to 20 different women today.

414

But it really...

415

You are no longer authorized to distribute birthday muffins.

416

Damn it!

417

Hey, take these cappuccinos to table 11, and that guy over there wants some biscotti.

418

Oh, uh, well, I just actually came in for a cup of coffee to go.

419

Do you still work here?

420

No, no, I quit a long time.

421

No, I quit a long time ago.

422

Did I forget to tell you that?

423

I'm sorry.

424

That's cool.

425

I was gonna fire you anyway.

426

Great!

Über diese Lektion

In dieser Lektion übst du Englisch mit einem authentischen Dialog aus der beliebten Serie "Friends". Du wirst nicht nur die alltägliche Sprache von jungen Erwachsenen lernen, sondern auch die richtige Intonation und Tempo bei Gesprächen üben. Besonders geeignet ist der Clip für "shadow speak" – eine Methode, bei der du direkt hinter dem Sprecher nachsprichst, um deine Aussprache und Flüssigkeit zu verbessern. Perfekt für alle, die Englisch lernen mit YouTube und ihre mündliche Kompetenz steigern wollen!

Wichtige Vokabeln & Sätze

upbeat – optimistisch, fröhlich. "Sie ist überraschend upbeat, obwohl sie keine Arbeit hat."
on sale – im Sale, reduziert. "Sie hat Stiefel 50% on sale gefunden."
live off – von jemandem/etwas leben. "Du kannst nicht dein ganzes Leben von deinen Eltern live off."
give her a break – gib ihr eine Pause, sei nicht so streng. "Give her a break – es ist schwer, zum ersten Mal alleine zu sein."
on your own – alleine, selbstständig. "Es ist hart, on your own zu sein, wenn man nicht gewohnt ist."

Übungstipps für Shadowing

Englisch Shadowing funktioniert am besten, wenn du das Tempo und die Intonation genau nachvollziehst. Der Dialog in der Video hat ein natürliches, gesprächiges Tempo – nicht zu schnell, aber auch nicht zu langsam. Tipps fürs Üben:

Wiederhole den Clip in kurzen Abschnitten (5–10 Sekunden). Pausiere nach jedem Teil und sprich sofort hinterher – so trainierst du "shadowspeak" effektiv.
Achte auf die Betonung in Wörtern wie "upbeat" oder "surprisingly" – sie gibt der Aussage Emotion. Versuche, dieselbe Betonung zu kopieren, um deine Englische Aussprache zu verbessern.
Beachte die Pausen zwischen den Sätzen. In natürlichen Gesprächen gibt es kurze Pausen, die du ebenfalls nachahmen solltest, um deinen Sprachfluss zu optimieren.
Übe mehrmals am Tag – selbst 10 Minuten reichen, um deinen "shadow speak" zu verbessern. Die Wiederholung hilft, die Sätze flüssig auszusprechen, ohne nachzudenken.

Mit diesem Video lernst du nicht nur Vokabeln, sondern auch, wie man natürliche Gespräche in Englisch führt. Probier's aus – und du wirst sehen, dass dein Englisch schnell besser wird!

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	I've seen · haven't worked · has sailed
Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache	guy who was · know, which is · weeks, which means
Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut	was laughed · were killed · being called

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.
