Shadowing-Übung: Would you send your child to a private school?#tvshow - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video

You have five minutes to convince me why private school is better for my son than public school.

I'll only need four.

I already pay taxes for public school.

Why would I spend an extra four grand a year on private?

First of all, St. Orlando's is a year -round school.

No summer vacation?

I could just stick my kids in public summer school for free.

Certainly.

But I'm sure the teachers here are just as lazy.

Oh, we don't have teachers.

We hire specialists in their field.

We call them consultants.

Did I mention that 99 % of our students go on to Ivy League schools?

The other 1 % go straight to med school.

The first step to Dr. President.

We send more kids to Harvard than any other school in Orlando.

I'll pay the whole year up front, but you have to give me a substantial early bird discount?

It's not that simple.

We need letters of recommendation, transcripts, an interview.

We're highly selective.

So I have to earn the privilege to pay your ridiculous tuition?

If my son doesn't get into Harvard, I want a full refund.

Headmaster.

So, Evan, what's a current item in the news that interests you?

Sheep cloning.

I think it would be a boon for the sweater industry.

Who do you admire?

Whom do I admire?

Tell me about your family.

They're all good eggs.

We rent a house in North Orlando.

My parents rent a steakhouse.

We're just your typical American family who's overcome incredible odds to achieve big dreams.

That's all of our questions.

No red flags.

We'll be in touch with you very soon.

Evan, it's here!

The hell?

You didn't get in?

And they still sent us these?

I guess they don't think I belong in their echelon.

No. Someone made a mistake.

You messed up, Deirdre.

Evan didn't get into St. Orlando's.

It was your letter of recommendation.

Uh, you mean the one that you wrote and I just signed?

What?

It was not a strong signature.

They taped it off at the end, conveying doubt.

Private schools are picky.

Unless your family has gone there for generations, there's really no guarantee.

But Evan is overqualified.

Maybe it's not him.

These schools don't just evaluate the student.

They evaluate the whole family.

Why would my family be rejected?

Word in the birding community?

St. Orlando saw you as renters who work in the service industry.

And I heard sometimes you hide your mother -in -law in the pantry.

The landlord.

Quick, hide your grandmother.

You still haven't added her to the lease?

No, it's 100 extra bucks a month.

Are you going to pay it?

Move, move, put her in the pantry.

Go, go, go, go, go.

We'd like to buy your house, but with one stipulation.

You get our son into St. Orlando's.

Your wife works there, right?

She gets our son in, you've sold your house.

We can work something out.

What are you doing?

Saving money on dry cleaning and making my blazer smell like London.

I know you're excited about private school, but I hope being around all those rich kids doesn't change you.

What do you mean?

Like how Chris O'Donnell went to private school and sent a woman and almost lost his integrity.

You don't need to worry.

This blazer won't change me.

I may look larger than life, but I'm still little boy six.

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.
