Shadowing-Übung: TikTok DESTROYED Hobbies - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
I clearly have a bit of a coloring book addiction.
2
I did some damage.
3
This is the third order I have placed this month.
4
I got some on the TikTok shop.
5
Got off the TikTok shop.
6
I got both of mine from TikTok shop.
7
The TikTok shop.
8
Of TikTok shop.
9
In my opinion, they're all worth your money.
10
Do you remember when hobbies were just fun?
11
You colored because it was relaxing.
12
You read a book because you actually liked the book.
13
Well, then TikTok came along and decided that hobbies weren't for enjoyment anymore.
14
They were for content.
15
And somewhere in that shift, the joy disappeared.
16
Because now you can't just do a hobby you have to perform it.
17
And that performance comes with rules, aesthetics, and a giant price tag.
18
Because TikTok doesn't want you to enjoy a hobby, it wants you to buy one.
19
And the first hobby that TikTok ruined is coloring.
20
Yes, coloring, that thing you did as a kid while your parents argued in the background.
21
Well, it's back, but not in a good way.
22
Because coloring now is kind of intense.
23
Because right away it feels like there's this pressure to take it super seriously.
24
TikTok immediately pushes you these super perfectly blended hyper aesthetic pages
25
that make it very clear that this is not a casual hobby anymore, okay?
26
This is art.
27
And because everybody uses the same handful of coloring books, it somehow weirdly becomes this competition of who can color the exact same page better.
28
And before you know it, you're not just coloring for fun.
29
You're learning how to blend, how to shade, how to build a cohesive palette.
30
Trying to do cool effects like everyone else and realizing I'll never be good at coloring.
31
Oh my god when you spent all day coloring a page and you realize it turned out ugly.
32
When coloring becomes too stressful because the other people are better than you and you get no views, so you just sit there slowly losing passion and talent.
33
What do you mean you're losing passion over coloring?
34
Like this is supposed to calm your brain, not give you performance anxiety.
35
She doesn't know it yet, but the coloring she spent hours on will only get 300 views again.
36
Dude, this was never meant to be like a competitive thing.
37
You don't have to post your pages online.
38
God, a hobby is supposed to be something you do for yourself in your spare time.
39
It doesn't need to be filmed, edited, and validated by strangers on the internet.
40
Stop comparing yourself to everybody else on here who does different styles, like, in their most immaculate, time-consuming way.
41
I take hours to do one page sometimes.
42
Sometimes I only take 30 minutes.
43
Sometimes I do color out of the line.
44
Point is, it's just to have fun, and your art is your art.
45
Yes, yes.
46
If the pressure to colour the perfect page doesn't ruin your day, your lack of art supplies definitely will.
47
Because on Colour Talk, nothing works like a normal hobby, okay?
48
Because if creators aren't posting magazine quality hyper-blended pages from the same trendy book, they're posting their massive supply hauls.
49
I might have gone a little bit overboard.
50
Just a little overboard.
51
What it looks like starting colouring talk.
52
There's mummy's mortgage.
53
Oh, there's the food that we could have had this month.
54
In it goes.
55
Oh!
56
There's our holiday to Bermuda!
57
Going right in the cave!
58
Now the funniest part about this specific creator is
59
that she posted this giant poll around this time last year and scrolling through her page now, she hasn't posted about coloring in months.
60
It's literally just cats, which, um, what happened to the coloring?
61
Uh, yeah, so to me this kind of just feels less like a coloring hobby and more like a shopping hobby.
62
Because you really don't need all this stuff to color.
63
If you actually love coloring, then the satisfaction of just doing it should be enough.
64
But for a lot of these people, it seems like buying the supplies gives them more joy than actually using them.
65
Which is fine, you know, do whatever you want with your money, okay?
66
Just be aware that if you get all giddy waiting for the Amazon man to show up, maybe that isn't the best long-term wellness plan.
67
Retail therapy is not a substitute for actual therapy.
68
There's mommy's mortgage.
69
And by the way, I'm not blaming the everyday creators who go all in on a new hobby, because do whatever you want with your money, right?
70
I don't care.
71
But I am going to blame the influencers who push these absurdly expensive supplies as beginner must-haves,
72
because apparently you can't just pull out leftover coloring pencils you've had since middle school.
73
No, are you some kind of medieval peasant?
74
No, keep up.
75
This is serious business now.
76
Here's everything you need to start your coloring journey.
77
So first you need some markers.
78
So I think The perfect set is the 120 set of Ohuhus.
79
This has a good variety of colors.
80
As you can see, like, you're able to shade with them.
81
$200.
82
Oh, okay.
83
Or if you want to go full out, you can get the 320 set.
84
Okay, let's see how much the 320 set is.
85
Yeah, I think I'm going to stick with the first ones.
86
And then next, you're going to need some acrylic markers.
87
These are for, like, covering black lines or adding details to your pages.
88
60. Okay.
89
Then we're gonna need some coloring books.
90
So I have three recommendations.
91
Fuzzy Hooga by Vivi Tinta.
92
It's a very cozy coloring book.
93
$6.
94
I'm okay with that.
95
And then there's also the Berry Coloring Fairy Dreams coloring book from Amazon.
96
Uh, $18.
97
Okay.
98
And then if we're looking for something a little bit more higher quality, we got Bobby Goods.
99
So this is on cardstock paper.
100
It's on her actual website.
101
$35.
102
Okay.
103
$318.
104
This is a beginner?
105
Okay, how much can you make donating plasma? between 30 and 80.
106
Ah!
107
Now at this point, I had to stop and ask, why are all of these influencers promoting the exact same markers and the exact same books?
108
Are they getting paid?
109
You have been waiting for Ohuhu to be back in stock here on TikTok.
110
Look at all of these markers that I got off the TikTok shop.
111
Do all of these people actually really care about coloring?
112
Do they like it?
113
Is it a hobby for them?
114
Or are they just trying to make a quick buck off of the trend?
115
My new alcohol markers finally arrived and I have been
116
so impatiently waiting for these to come click the orange shopping
117
cart above my name to grab a set for yourself
118
because it makes sense that they would push the most expensive product
119
because they'll make the highest commission so i don't know is the intention pure
120
but the same time i get it people gotta eat blah blah blah
121
and listen i cannot talk this video is literally sponsored by
122
zocdoc take it away shira too before we keep going i
123
want to give a big thank you to our sponsor zocdoc you know
124
that moment when it's 11 p.m and you're supposed to be asleep
125
but instead you're five tabs deep into why does my chest hurt and already planning your funeral?
126
Last month I convinced myself I had every disease the internet has every indexed
127
and the reason was simple I didn't want to go to the doctor not
128
because I'm scared of needles well but because finding a doctor feels like filing taxes blindfolded.
129
Who's in that work?
130
Who's taking new patients?
131
Why does every clinic still want me to fax them?
132
And then I found ZocDoc which is a free website created to help people find
133
and book appointments with doctors who are in network and close and distance.
134
It's also great for people like me who experience anxiety
135
when scheduling appointments by helping you choose the right provider for your needs.
136
And it's so easy to use that you can just click to instantly book an appointment.
137
And ZocDoc isn't just for one type of care.
138
They have more than a hundred thousand providers across nearly every specialty from primary care to dental care, eye care to urgent care to mental health and and more.
139
It's the one-stop shop for all your healthcare needs.
140
You can just search for doctors in your area and book an appointment instantly.
141
No phone calls, no awkward, please hold music.
142
And if you're picky like me, it even shows verified patient reviews and doctor bios, so you actually get a sense of who you're booking.
143
I actually started using ZocDoc when I first moved to Austin, Texas, because every doctor that I called wasn't taking new patients.
144
ZocDoc really helped me find one that is a network
145
and was taking new patients
146
and all i needed was to get my prescription refilled it
147
was super easy i literally got an appointment the next day
148
so it's definitely a lot easier than having to call 20 different clinics try to see
149
which will actually work for you so if you've been putting off
150
that checkup stop scrolling the internet and go to zogdoc.com
151
it's also linked down below
152
and you can instantly book a top rated in-network doctor today now let's Let's get back to the video.
153
Okay, but seriously, if you're picking up a new hobby, you should start small.
154
See if you like it.
155
Because most of the time, the novelty will wear off pretty quickly.
156
And that's normal, okay?
157
But what's not normal is sinking hundreds of dollars into a hobby before you even know if you like it.
158
Why would you want to be stuck with 500 markers and 10 half-used coloring books?
159
You can't really donate half of those half-used coloring books anyway.
160
A lot of this stuff ends up in landfill.
161
Also, don't shop on TikTok Shop or Amazon.
162
Buy second hand off of Facebook Marketplace.
163
I actually looked up some secondhand markers and it's all there.
164
Oh, hoohoo and everything.
165
Lots of popular books, too.
166
I did some damage, so let's do a haul.
167
Speaking of books, let's talk about BookTok, another hobby that TikTok completely ruined.
168
So BookTok actually pushed 59 million book sales in 2024, which is up from 13 million in 2020.
169
Which, I mean, on paper sounds amazing, right?
170
I'm so happy that people are finally reading.
171
But when you look into it, the reality is much more grim.
172
Because most of those books that are being sold aren't actually being read.
173
They're just being collected.
174
Let's do a book haul.
175
Okay, so 99% of the books that I got, I know nothing of.
176
Only know what I know from TikTok reviews.
177
This lady bought an entire library in one afternoon because the algorithm told her to.
178
So yeah, this is my book haul let me know
179
which ones I should read first after turn a glass and if you recommend any more books.
180
She's never reading all these books.
181
She knows it, we know it, and God knows it.
182
At some point, we have to admit, okay, this is not a reading hobby.
183
This is a buying hobby.
184
Book buying has genuinely become a separate hobby, completely detached from reading itself, and BookTok celebrates it.
185
And people don't even try to hide it.
186
They say it openly.
187
Reading books?
188
Definitely a hobby.
189
Buying books, not reading them, buying more books, also a hobby.
190
Scroll BookTok for just 10 seconds and you'll see the pattern.
191
It's hauls, acidic shelves, reorganizing videos.
192
That is the content, okay?
193
I'm actually reading of the books.
194
That doesn't really happen as much as TikTok would like you to believe.
195
BookTok isn't just encouraging people to read, it's encouraging them to consume at the same pace as fast fashion.
196
Romance books are becoming fast fashion.
197
There are authors and certain kinds of books where they come out with a book or two a year,
198
and you can kind of feel that they're feeding into the market instead of actual writing, whether it be that there's not enough editing, the story doesn't make any sense, there's no plot.
199
Creators feel pressure to post constantly, but reading a whole book takes time, so instead of reviews, discussions,
200
and actual opinions, BookTok has defaulted to the fastest form of content, halls.
201
Let's go through my new books.
202
Hey, so like once again, we've just like somehow managed to accumulate a few more new books.
203
I mean it's the exact same cycle we saw with the 2010 YouTube and Sheen hauls, except now the fast fashion is books.
204
Nobody has time to read them, so the only thing left to post is, you know, the buying of them.
205
Um, I did some damage, so let's do a haul.
206
Okay, here's my birthday book haul.
207
We're gonna do this back first.
208
Hate to these creators, again, building a giant library full of books is awesome.
209
It's my dream.
210
I'm genuinely jealous.
211
I rent.
212
I physically cannot own a library with
213
that many books unless I want to fall through my own floor
214
and end up living in the unit downstairs okay
215
and some of these setups are insane i mean this booktalk
216
creator literally has handmade shelves for all of her books i
217
feel like it's been a very long time since i've addressed this
218
so let's get into it
219
so all my shelves i actually built on my own like we went out bought every piece of wood,
220
sanded the wood, painted the wood, measured all the shelves out.
221
We hand cut every single curve on these curved shelves.
222
So she's actually built all of this in just two years.
223
And my question is, how do you fill up all of these shelves with that many books in just two years?
224
I think I have legitimately reached the place where I have no more space on the shelf.
225
Like, I am stacking books on top of each other just to get stuff to fit.
226
You know, it's about curation, which should take a lot of time, effort, and luck.
227
You know, it's about finding rare gems inside streets of a random bookstore in a random city, okay?
228
You know, a collection should contain things you've interacted with, not things you bought because they were trending on the app that day.
229
And that's part of the problem is
230
that BookTok makes people blind buy books the same way Perfume Talk makes people blind buy scents, purely based on, you know, vibes and a 10 second review.
231
And when you constantly do not finish books, you're impulse buying.
232
It's not because you're lazy or not a real reader.
233
It's because you're buying books based on marketing, not your actual taste.
234
Over over consumption habits are why you're reading so many bad books.
235
If you're routinely DNFing books, it's telling me that you're not reading them in a store before you buy them, which tells me that more than likely, and I've fallen victim to this myself, you saw them on your FYP,
236
someone recommended it and you blind bought it.
237
Publishers are getting the feedback that people are buying a lot of these books, that these marketing techniques, that these writing styles are successful,
238
and then because they're an industry they are incentivized to pick up more books like
239
that book that you will probably continue to blind buy even though you don't like them.
240
Good books have always existed alongside bad books, but if there is a trend in the books that you are purchasing, then it turns out that you don't like the way they're written, or you don't like the plot,
241
or you don't like some other element of them
242
or you think they're not as good as a book you
243
read 10 years ago you are contributing to the problem by continuing to tell publishers to option
244
and publish more of those books there's definitely a problem where people are pushing
245
and by people i mean influencers are pushing books
246
because they are paid to do so that are probably not
247
that good but i strongly believe
248
that we all have a lot more power than we think we do
249
and i think it's time for some people to take responsibility
250
for their own purchasing decisions that's the thing it always goes back to influencers TikTok shop affiliated products
251
because do you think that this lady with this amazing library bought all these books herself?
252
No, a lot of them are paid promotions.
253
And every other day, there's a new BookTok book trending and another special edition to another book you already have, which triggers FOMO and artificial scarcity.
254
And that's why people buy multiple versions of the same book.
255
I have a lot of copies of Fourth Wing.
256
I really like this book and I'm gonna go through my whole collection.
257
It's been a while since I did this and everyone really liked it last time.
258
How are there that many special editions of this same book?
259
It's almost as tall as her.
260
The only time I have repurchased a book, it's because I got a signed copy of my favorite book.
261
That's it.
262
I don't care if it's in a different color, in a different shade, if it has a sprayed edge.
263
I don't care.
264
Also, the sprayed edge trend, I am such a hater, okay?
265
All right, bud, welcome to the collection.
266
On the shelf you go.
267
I'm in severe credit card debt.
268
Am I the only one who thinks they look super gaudy and trashy?
269
Let's rank all of my sprayed edges from best to worst.
270
They could have done so much better than this.
271
Plain red, 16.
272
Now this is stepping it up.
273
I love the black and red combo.
274
The details are gorgeous, but it's still not completely wowing my socks off.
275
Like, some of them look really pretty and cool, but like, even like the idea of all these colors being on my shelves would stress me out
276
because I feel like I'd have to like color coordinate all these colors
277
and then have to buy books to like color coordinate them with the other books that I own.
278
I mean, it's also like kind of pretty clever marketing because it'll make you buy the whole set, right?
279
Because you have to make the picture happen for some of them.
280
You're going to get the four books.
281
You can get Edward, Bella, and Jacob in this AI generated field together.
282
And I'm pretty sure a lot of these are AI because I found a bunch of these like little TikTok shops
283
doing all these sprayed edges and it's like, oh my god, this is so AI.
284
Now another side effect that nobody really talks about is libraries
285
because they kind of become useless in this book talk ecosystem because if the whole culture revolves around owning books, curating bookshelves, color matching sprayed edges,
286
the idea of borrowing a book from the library becomes kind of pointless for the algorithm because you can't monetize library books.
287
And that's the saddest part because that's the only place
288
that books are free they're sustainable and community driven
289
and it kind of gets treated like it doesn't exist
290
because i never really hear anybody talking about libraries so to a lot of people who like don't have
291
giant amount of money to like pour into this new hobby
292
under consumption tick tock yes we're talking to you you see
293
that get a freaking library card cool thing about me is
294
i have two this isn't just one get a freaking library card if you're really wanting to talk about under consumption
295
and stop spending money.
296
You can get movies, you can get music, you can get ebooks.
297
But it doesn't matter what I say, the BookTok community will always clap back.
298
And one of my favorite reoccurring argument from BookTok is why are you mad at a community that loves to read?
299
The argument that book talk has an over consumption problem
300
On surface level makes sense But the further that you think about it the less sense it makes.
301
Through most of history women have had to secretly consume romance books.
302
Okay, so why are we getting mad at women for building these bookshelves full of books that they love.
303
The art of creating a library is becoming a lost art.
304
You need a thousand books to have your own library.
305
Who is doing that anymore other than booktalkers?
306
It is a lost art.
307
The love of reading is also becoming something that we are losing,
308
so why are you getting mad at a community that just loves to read?
309
Let me be clear, I love reading.
310
Those books in the background are not just there for decoration, okay?
311
I have a tiny, tiny library because I have moved countries, I've moved places, I can't, you know, if I have books I will give them to a thrift store.
312
But my point is reading and buying at different hobbies, okay?
313
And companies are exploiting this confusion.
314
Another thing that book talk girlies love to do is tell you
315
that you're basically illiterate if you're not reading a hundred books a year.
316
Can we stop with saying that reading 100 books a year is over consuming.
317
I am a self-proclaimed slow reader and I can easily knock out 100 books a year.
318
I don't understand the discourse around consuming too many books.
319
I don't think that is possible and quite frankly to police reading seems fascist.
320
Oh my god nobody You know what?
321
Buy whatever you want, do whatever you want.
322
My god, this is just a discussion, okay?
323
The thing is though, a hundred books a year is fucking insane.
324
That is absurd.
325
A hundred books a year is just two books a week.
326
It's not an insane number.
327
I agree.
328
Two books a week?
329
Do you not have jobs?
330
Families, responsibilities, depression, erectile dysfunction, sorry, executive dysfunction.
331
Most are kind of wondering what kind of books you're reading
332
because you know what if you're reading two books a week week?
333
How long are they?
334
How challenging are they?
335
Are you reading philosophy?
336
History?
337
I'd love to know.
338
Now it turns out like a book influencer actually gave some tips on how to hit
339
that quota and somebody on Twitter made a thread talking about it.
340
I saw a book influencer give tips on how to read more books a year.
341
They were listen to audiobooks on 1.5 speed, skim long passages of texts, read novellas and graphic novels to hit your reading goals faster,
342
which is fine if your goal is to consume as much as possible.
343
It's the same when I see people argue that audiobooks, graphic novels, etc. count as reading.
344
The beauty of being an adult is there is no teacher or parent you have to justify your habits to.
345
There is no one besides you keeping track of what you are aren't reading.
346
You're free.
347
Anyway, I get it.
348
Hitting arbitrary metrics you set for yourself, i.e. reading x number of books a year, can be satisfying.
349
Love to hit an arbitrary metric.
350
But man, isn't literature about so much more than conspicuous consumption?
351
Wise words.
352
I read 100 books last year
353
because i saw everyone else setting those kind of reading goals the year before
354
and i was like oh i can do that
355
but it sucked ass i thought it was a challenge i
356
wanted to impress myself i wanted to stay on top of the conversations
357
that were happening i finished a lot of books
358
that i hated simply
359
because i didn't want to waste the time starting a new
360
book people spent years of their lives on these books
361
and i would be annoyed at the last 25 because i went over my allotted three days of reading time.
362
I want to savor a book.
363
I don't want to feel rushed through it.
364
I just think reading shouldn't feel like I'm cramming for a test that I'm never gonna take.
365
Now, I just want to say this.
366
If you don't regularly read or if you haven't read in years, that is completely fine, okay?
367
Finishing one book should be a massive achievement.
368
You should be proud of yourself.
369
Every time I finish a book, I'm like, yes!
370
Especially in the world where shorts and TikTok exist and, you know, they're always distracting.
371
You know, your only goal should be to just to read more even
372
if it means three pages before bed which is what i usually do
373
and then i just clock out
374
because i'm tired my god read one book a year read 50 read 300 who cares
375
but just read more i do want to say it's not all bad i do love
376
that we're reading more i love
377
that women are picking up reading i do just want us
378
to explore maybe more classics different genres you know try to explore beyond the tiktok shop influencer algorithm
379
and sometimes even indie authors go viral on tiktok like this
380
one how many copies of stone maidens have been sold everybody's asking my dad
381
and i this and we wanted to tell you guys first i'm literally trying not to cry
382
when i tell you this
383
but after months years decades of no sales my dad has
384
sold 65 000 copies of his book this month i mean
385
so many people have rediscovered reading and improved their mental health
386
because of book talk so it's not all bad and
387
if i haven't said it enough throughout this video i just want to make sure
388
that you know that it's good to have hobbies like coloring
389
and books i'm more concerned with for those that are performing the hobby instead of actually doing it, usually with the intent of being a rich influencer rather than a reader or an artist.
390
And it sucks because a lot of people get sucked into that aspect due to TikTok or even YouTube.
391
TikTok shop is literally an MLM.
392
And it feels like people care more about looking like they are a part of the hobby than actually doing the thing.
393
So yes, you don't have to perform for the algorithm.
394
You don't have to let anybody know that you're coloring or reading.
395
Just do it for yourself and do what makes you happy and spend money on whatever you want.
396
I love you and thank you to my beautiful YouTube members.
397
Please join if you want exclusive videos every month and I'll see you on the next one.

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.
