Shadowing-Übung: Why Americans Love Iced Coffee - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
Between 2016 and 2023, consumer spending on cold coffee, which includes iced coffee, cold brew and frozen coffee drinks, more than doubled in the U.S.
2
Hot coffee, on the other hand, grew about 20%.
3
Lots of ice is clean.
4
We want it super, super cold.
5
You know, I see an iced coffee being made on social media and they're shaking their ice around.
6
I'm like, well, maybe I want an iced coffee now.
7
Like, it truly works.
8
You can see that iced coffee really is at the forefront of advertising for chains like Dunkin.
9
The company told CNBC that since 2019, it's grown its iced drinks by 50%, and they now represent two-thirds of its total beverage sales.
10
It can be 10 degrees and slowly falling, and there will be people who will be clutching their cold brew coffees as they walk to work.
11
And that was not the case until relatively recently.
12
So why do Americans love putting this traditionally hot beverage over ice?
13
And will cold brew and iced coffee eventually take over?
14
Americans spent nearly $88 billion on out-of-home coffee purchases in 2023 about 20% of that was on cold coffee,
15
but tracking at home cold coffee consumption can be hard.
16
A lot of people are taking standard ground coffee, putting it in, you know, a pitcher or something and letting it brew overnight and making cold brew.
17
And how on earth do you track that?
18
And the answer is you can't.
19
Sales at coffee house chains can help paint a clearer picture.
20
Starbucks controls about 25% of the U.S coffee and snack shop market.
21
The way it usually works in the U.S is that coffee trends start with a coffee shop, and above all, at the big chains like Starbucks.
22
So the way to look at it is when did they really start pushing the cold beverages?
23
That's about when cold beers are reaching those restaurant menus, and then that shapes what good coffee is thought to be like in the lines of consumers, which then in turn shapes things like their at-home consumption patterns.
24
From 2013 to 2021, Starbucks U.S cold beverage sales grew from less than 40% to 75% of all drinks sold.
25
It's important to note that this includes non-coffee drinks as well.
26
For Dutch Bros, a West Coast-based coffee chain, cold drinks account for about 90% of its beverage sales.
27
About half of that is cold coffee.
28
The rise of caffeinated alternatives, like energy drinks, may help explain the appeal of iced coffee as well.
29
Americans love soft drinks in general, so are the view of helping make coffee in a soft drink.
30
In the U.S., ready-to-drink coffee is almost always drank cold, and consumption is up over 40% between 2019 and 2023.
31
That is much higher than the global growth rate, even without Japan, who accounts for about half of the total market and disproportionately skews the data.
32
When you look at the big chains, they shape consumer taste, but they also reflect consumer taste.
33
And so I think there's a little bit of both happening there, right?
34
Where consumers clearly are asking more for cold beverages.
35
That's driven largely by Gen Z, by millennials.
36
The skew is pretty clear that the younger consumers prefer cold coffees,
37
iced, cold brew, etc. The divide between iced versus hot coffee drinkers is largely generational.
38
Americans aged 18 to 24 are the largest consumers of cold coffee.
39
A survey found that about half of respondents had it within the past day.
40
The second largest cold coffee drinking cohort was respondents aged 25 to 39.
41
And there was a big drop off then in Gen X and boomers.
42
They'll drink cold coffees, they'll drink some cases cold brews or iced coffee, but it's really more like a summertime thing that's hot.
43
Whereas the millennials, especially Gen Z, really broke free of that seasonality.
44
And that's the key difference is that they view it as an anytime beverage rather than a seasonal thing.
45
As a Gen Z coffee drinker myself, I almost always opt for an iced coffee.
46
And for me personally, it's because it lasts longer than a hot coffee.
47
If I'm at the office, I want something that I can sit at my desk and sip on for a few hours.
48
I think there's definitely less exploration.
49
There is less cravings for variety with those older generations.
50
Since coffee has such an established background as this hot beverage,
51
I think it's kind of hard to break that mindset with a generation that for so much of their lifetime, it has just been that hot beverage.
52
A 2023 Mintel report found that 26% of U.S teens consume cold coffee, while about 18% consume hot.
53
One reason behind its popularity amongst younger generations is because it's an easier entry to coffee.
54
It's highly customizable and you can add lots of flavors
55
and toppings that that help divert from the natural bitter taste of coffee.
56
Increasingly, that younger consumer that is not just asking for a very plain cup of hot coffee, right?
57
They want a coffee-based beverage that has something more to it.
58
And I think that's reflected in that marketing and promotions.
59
Thank you.
60
Have a nice day.
61
The clear plastic cups that cold coffee typically comes in lends itself very well to the age of social media.
62
These new drinks are a Starbucks wicked collaboration.
63
So you can see that the foam on top is actually green and as you swirl it around, it mixes into the drink.
64
There's some like sparkles on top.
65
All of these colors and aesthetics simply wouldn't be possible if it were a hot drink.
66
Even though many younger Americans view cold coffee as an all year round beverage, companies like Starbucks have seen a clear dip in the winter months.
67
One of the reasons Europe hasn't fully adopted cold coffee is because of, I think, the climate, and they're still largely driven by hot coffee,
68
and, you know, especially in Northern Europe.
69
Americans as coffee drinkers are much more experimental, right?
70
They don't have a very strong coffee culture.
71
They find a place like Brazil, Turkey, Italy.
72
There's that long historical tradition, a sense of here's how we make coffee.
73
Traditionally, Americans are much more into trying new things.
74
In terms of the trends right now spreading around the world, things like cold brew, like nitro, they're coming from the United States.
75
Many coffee makers like Nespresso and Keurig are jumping on the iced coffee bandwagon too.
76
Nespresso released a ready-to-drink canned beverage for the first time this summer.
77
And Keurig is now selling a coffee machine that brews hot and then flash chills it to make iced coffee.
78
Still, cold brew and iced coffee have some ways to go before catching up to their hot counterpart.
79
Hot coffee is still by far the most popular way Americans consume coffee.
80
A big part of our growth expectation is just that more
81
and more restaurants and food service operators are going to add this to the menu
82
and so our expectations are very bullish for growth of the cold coffee category over the next five years

Was du in dieser Lektion übst
In diesem Abschnitt lernst du, warum amerikanische Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene vor allem iced coffee lieben – und verbesserst gleichzeitig dein Englisch mit YouTube-Videos. Du wirst praktische Tipps fürs Shadowing erhalten, um die Sprache flüssiger zu sprechen, und nützliche Vokabeln aus dem Video entdecken. Egal, ob du neu bei "shadowspeak" bist oder schon Erfahrung mit "Englisch Shadowing" hast, hier findest du hilfreiche Anleitungen, um dein Sprechen zu verbessern.
Wichtige Vokabeln und Sätze
- Cold brew: Ein Kaffee, der langsam in kaltem Wasser gebraut wird (nicht heiß).
- Customizable: Anpassbar – z. B. "Iced coffee is highly customizable" (Eiskaffee ist sehr anpassbar).
- Seasonality: Saisonalität – "Gen Z broke free of seasonality" (Gen Z hat sich von der Saisonalität gelöst).
- Ready to drink: Sofort trinkbar – "Ready to drink coffee is often cold" (Soforttrinkkaffee ist oft kalt).
- Bitter taste: Bitterer Geschmack – "Toppings divert from the bitter taste" (Toppings lenken vom bitteren Geschmack ab).
Praktik Tipps fürs Shadowing
Das Video hat eine flüssige, gesprochene Sprache – perfekt fürs "Englisch Shadowing"! Hier sind Tipps, um es effektiv zu üben:
- Geschwindigkeit anpassen: Wenn du neu bei "shadow speak" bist, spiel das Video zuerst langsam ab (viele Plattformen erlauben Geschwindigkeitsregelung). Konzentriere dich auf die Intonation, vor allem bei Sätzen wie "it's an anytime beverage" – die Betonung auf "anytime" macht den Unterschied.
- Junge Sprecher im Fokus: Die Interviews mit Gen-Z- und Millennial-Kaffee-Trinkern haben eine lockere, umgangssprachliche Tone. Versuche, ihre Natürlichkeit nachzuahmen – z. B. "I almost always opt for an iced coffee" (ich nehme fast immer Eiskaffee). Übe, die Wörter flüssig zu verbinden, ohne zu stoppen.
- Wiederhole Schlüsselaussagen: Sätze wie "it's highly customizable" oder "less cravings for variety" kommen oft vor. Wiederhole sie mehrmals, bis du sie ohne Nachdenken sagen kannst. Das hilft, die Vokabeln in deinen aktiven Wortschatz zu integrieren.
Denke: "Englisch lernen mit YouTube" funktioniert am besten, wenn du regelmäßig übst – selbst 10 Minuten pro Tag machen einen Unterschied. Mach dir keine Sorgen, wenn es am Anfang schwierig ist – "shadowing" ist eine Übung, die mit der Zeit einfacher wird!
Warum dies hilft
Durch das Nachsprechen lernst du nicht nur die Sprache, sondern auch die Kultur: Warum junge Amerikaner Eiskaffee ganzjährig trinken, wie Kette wie Starbucks Trends formen – all das macht das Lernen spannend. Und mit der Zeit wirst du merken, dass du flüssiger sprichst und verstehst, was andere sagen – auch in realen Situationen!
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 | has just been · have seen |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | being made · is thought |
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.
