1
Janusz stellt heute die alles entscheidende Frage bei Easy German.
2
Bist du cool?
3
Ja und ich freue mich darauf, weil ich selber sehr uncool bin und deshalb werde ich vielleicht was lernen.
4
Das stimmt doch gar nicht Janusz.
5
Manchmal.
6
Schauen wir mal.
7
Los geht's.
8
Los geht's.
9
Bist du cool?
10
Ich geb mir Mühe, ja.
11
Sollte sein.
12
Ob ich was bin?
13
Cool.
14
Ich bin cool.
15
Schon immer gewesen.
16
Are you cool?
17
I think so.
18
Are you cool?
19
Yes.
20
No doubt.
21
I don't know.
22
Yes.
23
Yes, yes.
24
Yes. Of course. Of course.
25
Of course I'm cool.
26
I don't know.
27
I would call you cool in combination with charisma.
28
It's always a bit of a eye of the eye.
29
Yes, you're cool.
30
Oh man, that's a difficult question.
31
We talked about it.
32
I thought I wasn't cool.
33
Because in school there were people cool, who had a certain picture.
34
But now I find myself cool.
35
And I hope that it goes so, that I find myself cooler.
36
Are you cool?
37
I'm pretty cool, but still happy.
38
I play guitar well, sometimes I'm cool.
39
Is it important to be cool?
40
No. Is it important to be cool?
41
No, that's not cool.
42
No. To be honest and a bit of a thing is very important.
43
I say that it's probably everyone's important.
44
It's a bit of a situation.
45
In some situations it's important, in some situations it's important.
46
When I speak with a woman in a bar, I'm probably cool.
47
And if I'm with my family, that's me pretty much egal.
48
What would you understand if you would explain to a young person, what would you say?
49
I think the young people know that very well, but I think they will be more tired and do not with it.
50
Cool is always...
51
I don't say something new, but I think someone with 80 can be cool if he makes a lot of trust in it, what he does.
52
And then someone thinks like I'm a young person, the cool thing is.
53
I think it's just a self-conscious,
54
charmant, witz, it can be everything, nothing negative.
55
I'm a teacher, I work with young people.
56
I think that...
57
I thought that cool being means...
58
...to wear certain clothes, to know what is said, often also to be unfreundly to people or not so social.
59
And nowadays I find people cool, who make their own thing and make things that other people are stupid or funny or funny,
60
but they just are for themselves and they are doing their thing.
61
That's cool.
62
What do you want to do, to be cool?
63
That's not what I want.
64
I don't know.
65
I'm a joke, I'm cool.
66
It's always a thing, I'm like, I'm always a little bit back.
67
It's just easy to do.
68
What do you do to be cool?
69
What do you do to be cool?
70
Just give not much effort to be cool.
71
Just to be yourself and not to be forgiven.
72
I think that charisma makes you cool.
73
My opinion is to be happy with yourself as possible, without being negative to be negative.
74
That's the important thing for me.
75
Happy with you being, running like you are, not completely ignore what other people do and how they do it.
76
But still, you should always be careful not to give you a chance to give you a chance.
77
And I think if you have the most fun, people will have it with you.
78
Is there something you make aware of, to cool to come?
79
I think that clothing is something you make aware of, to cool to come.
80
The way you speak with people, is all just more aware.
81
Janusz, we're going to take a short break and I want to use this, to play a game with you.
82
Oh yeah, of course.
83
Cool is a adjective, comes from English and in German.
84
And that's a adjective that is connoted positive for most people.
85
And I want to see you now how many Adjectives we find, with which we can make a compliment together.
86
I'll start with you. And you are cool.
87
And you are cool.
88
You are nice.
89
And you are nice.
90
You are nice.
91
And you are hip.
92
You are cool. And you are authentic.
93
Thank you.
94
Now you have already 10 new words learned.
95
And if you want more of such words, you can do this with our interactive exercises, which you get every week.
96
We have a team that supports us.
97
For example, Eric, who has every week interactive exercises for every video.
98
And one of these exercises, the people who come here are synonyme or other things.
99
So, Vokabellernen with Easy German is going to be under the stairs.
100
You can do it for only 5 € a month.
101
You can get to all our videos, Vokabellisten and Übungen and you can also help our work.
102
We would like to try this out.
103
And here is the link to our membership.
104
And do you remember the moment you came to the show?
105
Honestly, I was last week in the club on Halloween, on Saturday, and I had a really fat black Latex-Gasmaske on with a whole outfit in the club.
106
I found it really cool because it didn't go for me.
107
I had to wear masks, I couldn't see myself.
108
Then I tried to make fun for everyone else, so that they had something to laugh.
109
I found myself at the moment really cool.
110
I don't know about it.
111
I don't know.
112
We were in Norway in vacation.
113
He speaks Norwegian very well and had practical experiences, because we had to go to the hospital.
114
And he talked super on Norwegian.
115
That was really cool.
116
In the school I often find myself cool as a teacher.
117
Because if I feel like I can do a little quats and feel free.
118
I think that's what happens to me is that when you just keep your mind, when it's stressful.
119
That's what's in the name and in the word.
120
That you don't stress yourself, you don't get stressed.
121
And just in the way you can do something to do something.
122
Yeah, totally, totally.
123
I say to my wife, chill, man. Be cool.
124
How do you feel it easier to tell us a story from your life in your life where you uncool was?
125
Oh, I understand.
126
I understand.
127
What is your situation in which I was uncool?
128
Yeah, I work with young people and when I have them, or the kids who go to my nerves or something.
129
And if you react not cool and lazy, but then also meckering.
130
That's actually pretty cool.
131
By the way, my daughter was not cool.
132
I think I'm always cool when I'm always curious about my husband's music.
133
Because I find it bad and make my music loud. So similar.
134
I would say, if I tried to try something or have something to try something, what didn't really pass to me, um other people to be impressed or for them to do something.
135
If I'm going to do something for someone else's own behavior, for a specific moment, I would say,
136
if someone's laughing, that's a good start.
137
There were often moments where I thought that I didn't fit in the way I was.
138
I use cool word now, but if I say something was uncool for me, then it's more than I was surprised by how I behave to a person
139
and think about it next time I would do it differently.
140
For example, to react emotionally and not say what's going on.
141
And come from Berlin?
142
Yes.
143
Is Berlin cool?
144
Yes, we just talked about it.
145
Is it cool or is it cool to go to the country?
146
Today it's cool because we can just go out and go to Japan in this big city.
147
Actually it's really cool.
148
Yes, she is loud, she is big, she is angry, she is anstrengend.
149
But the food from the front was really good.
150
Berlin was cool.
151
Slowly, it's less cool.
152
The more the people, the less the coolness. Is Berlin cool?
153
Yes, Berlin is cool.
154
Is Berlin cool?
155
Yes, I would say it's one of the coolest places I've seen.
156
Because it's not a real Berlin culture, but a mix of all of them is about who is cool for themselves and who are the individual.
157
The club are cool on their own way, the park people are cool, the people who do sports.
158
In Berlin is the biggest mix of people together.
159
So many cool people have I not seen yet.
160
Everyone is cool and is the biggest place I've seen here.
161
I live here for three years.
162
I would say yes.
163
I come from Bayern.
164
Everything is a bit conservative.
165
I would say that this is a bit of the care side.
166
It's very world-open, very friendly, diverse.
167
There are so many great people with beautiful personalities, but also their own stories.
168
For me personally, Berlin is cool
169
because I found here places where I feel I feel very well and people with whom I feel very well.
170
Generally, it's sometimes that kind of thing that of Berlin or why many people come to Berlin.
171
But of course it's cool because everyone can find a place where they can be and feel very well.
172
Which places are still cool in Berlin?
173
Früher was even the Kastanienallee cool, Prenzlauer Berg, but now not yet.
174
Yeah, today, Neukölln would I say, also Kreuz Köln, it's also a bit more cool.
175
But what does it mean?
176
It's a bit more inclusive and not so really and interesting and that's why it's not cool.
177
Apropos cool, weißt du, wer gerade auch an seinem Image arbeitet?
178
Ja, of course I know.
179
I myself.
180
Not only you, but also the country of Baden-Württemberg.
181
They themselves call themselves the land.
182
And how many places in Germany search for Fachkräfte?
183
If you are an engineer or a doctor and you want to work in Germany, Then you can see maybe you in Baden-Württemberg in the chat.
184
And to get you to get there, they have even produced a whole series of videos.
185
A series that you want to watch on YouTube.
186
And we will put it here today.
187
We link it here.
188
It's going to be a young filmmaker filmmaker, who tries to be the country of Baden-Württemberg.
189
Check it out.
190
We link it here.
191
And we'll see you every week on your comments.
192
to the topic of being cool.
193
Write down, how you see it.
194
Are you cool or not?
195
And what have you done, to be cool?
196
Thank you, Janusz.
197

198

200

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
