Before a few weeks, Janusz asked people here on the street,

what their profession is.

And then he met you with Diana Goldberg and you are?

Sängerin.

And then you said, that is my dream, a song to be.

We link your Instagram and Spotify in the Infobox,

because you make really good music.

And what do you want to ask the people in Berlin?

I think I have a very special question for today,

for the guest's show.

And I'm really interested in finding people here and asking them what they're doing.

Because it's a very personal question and it's not even asked.

And so we're looking for everyone who want to answer that.

Let's go!

What is your dream?

My dream is to make me a dream job,

to make me a designer.

My dream is to be a artist.

I want to live from my own art and make some projects,

maybe make some projects for the world to travel.

Let's do a quick look.

A nice summer, a lot of sun,

a great time and a great time.

What is your dream?

Once to the moon and back.

Cool, like for real?

Yeah.

Okay.

What is your dream?

I have no dream.

My dream is to have the whole world seen.

My dream is to make music.

That's really cool.

That's crazy.

Financially unabhängig to be.

That's my main view.

And to be in the way I'm going to be able to be.

What do you do?

I play music and play basketball.

I think that's two things that guide me and follow me very much.

My dream is that I can look back at my life and think that it was a very beautiful and fulfilled life.

I don't know exactly what it would be like to do now,

but I think that I'm still on the way back.

I'm happy, as I am.

My dream is that my daughter always goes well.

That it's my dream.

That it stays so, that the whole world doesn't go down,

that we can all live in peace and live.

That's my dream.

My dream is that I can keep my children healthy and in the free life.

And that I can take care of it.

and that I can get it with me.

So it's also a bit of egoistic, that I'm old.

What is your dream?

My dream is to stay healthy and maybe 100 to be.

I have 6 uncles and wait for my grandparents.

My dream is to be in South Africa.

Wow, okay.

And you were already in South Africa?

No, but I find it fascinating.

The National parks, the animals,

the wildness, the jungle, that's my dream.

My dream would be a world in which it all goes well,

people children and animals.

It's for me the most dream,

that we all are treated together.

Here, that's also my tattoos.

Wow, and speciesism.

Can you speak it?

I can't speak it.

Speciesism, that's the discriminatory form,

where you can't take other species.

And for me, of course,

all the fights are important to me,

but the one is very important to me personally.

And that's the first thing I think about my dream.

A world where we all are the same value.

What is your dream?

That you can live here in Berlin.

That Berlin doesn't change anything.

And I think that's what you wish for the future.

My dream is to have a fulfillment in life.

The goal you set yourself every day to improve yourself.

For me personally.

My dream is to have a family,

a big family, to have a fulfillment in life.

My life, even if you made a mistake,

just so to go in,

that you say, everything happened.

But I became the person who I am today.

And where I sit with my wife and my wife and my Enkels and children,

who all play.

If you have your dream now,

you're a great singer, music player and basketball player,

how does your life look like?

I have a big villa in Portugal,

a wonderful woman, and family.

It would be cool to have a really tightly knit band,

where you can make music together and things come out.

100

You've already done music videos.

101

It can also be in small things.

102

It must not be famous.

103

But yeah, so was and also an album cover design.

104

That would be cool.

105

And a little bit of a part in random bars.

106

or on the stage.

107

What happened to happen is that I am happy with myself.

108

That's it.

109

So much more I don't have to do it.

110

I don't have a big family or a house to build,

111

but just to be happy with myself.

112

That was a nice life.

113

How would you change your life if you have your dream and the whole world has been bereased?

114

I would like to study again,

115

to become a astronaut, to become a new planet, I think.

116

I could imagine that what many astronauts and astronauts describe,

117

that you can get a feeling of how small and fragile this planet is,

118

on which we live.

119

So it would be good if many people could fly to the moon or to the moon.

120

How would you change your life if you would not only 100 but even 120?

121

I wouldn't.

122

Because...

123

That's for me too old.

124

With 100, all friends and friends are dying around me.

125

And I'm alone.

126

And that's not funny.

127

I love young people, but...

128

But they're nervous.

129

Yes, but we're also nervous.

130

And that's not what I want.

131

Janusz, we want to know, what is your dream?

132

My dream is actually, finally French to learn French.

133

Good news, because there can you Lingoda support.

134

Lingoda is an online language school with real people,

135

who support you personally and individually with personal feedback.

136

And you can not only learn English and English,

137

but also Spanish, Italian and French.

138

It's amazing.

139

Deepakawa.

140

What's going on?

141

What's going on?

142

Nothing.

143

Not much.

144

I need to do more time.

145

I'm just going to do more.

146

I'm living the dream.

147

This dream means that you start every day and have a little motivation and energy.

148

I'm definitely going on.

149

Is your dream in the future?

150

No, I live every day my dream,

151

because for me it's really a fulfillment.

152

And I feel fulfilled every day.

153

And that's, I think, also the important thing is that you,

154

even if you have bad days,

155

if you have people for 10-15 seconds,

156

you can sometimes feel the whole day.

157

But that's a mindset thing.

158

If you have to let these 10-15 seconds,

159

a bad news or something,

160

your day will be able to do it,

161

then you don't have to go on the next day.

162

Even if you're at 5am morning and you're at work,

163

or if you're at 10am or 11am,

164

you're at a bad feeling,

165

if I can say that.

166

And that's why it's very important.

167

What have you already done with your journey to achieve your dream?

168

I'm currently doing a training in this area and want to study later.

169

I study Art in Berlin,

170

I'm traveling around, I'm in Japan for exhibitions, in Switzerland.

171

I'm going to do many projects,

172

I'm going to develop my own projects.

173

I'm going to try to keep training, keep training, keep motivation.

174

What did you have to take care of your dream?

175

To travel to South Africa?

176

Sparen.

177

But it's all very cheap.

178

We'll see if the price is going to soon.

179

But before my death, it will happen.

180

I engage myself in the environment,

181

for the nature of life.

182

I'm a vegan.

183

I have so many things to do with my daughter.

184

I think that's my engagement in this direction.

185

I studied so much money to earn,

186

to work and see the world.

187

What have you already taken to do with your dream?

188

Once again and again to the moon?

189

That I was really trying to do a job to do a job and to get through Mathe.

190

I feel you.

191

I realized that I didn't fly to the moon.

192

I heard my doctors.

193

I have 2x Chemotherapies behind me.

194

I did everything they wanted.

195

I closed my last Chemo just now.

196

I'm healthy.

197

Wow.

198

And I'm going to be 100.

199

Super!

200

That's so sad.

201

Wow, that's really nice.

202

I'm very much self-reflection.

203

I sit every day every morning around 10 min and every morning at least 10 min.

204

and through what to do my what I do today.

205

So where do I always closer to my goals?

206

Mud is amen on the day.

207

What is better and cooling?

208

Did you honest that you were doing?

209

Are you already doing music or working for something?

210

Not really much.

211

I play guitar, I try to write songs, but it doesn't work.

212

It's a bit frustrating, sad,

213

a bit of a pain.

214

But I don't know, it's cool to play in a band.

215

What I've done for a lot, is a lot.

216

I feel like I'm not enough,

217

but I've been engaged in many groups and I tried many different forms of activism and worked for public work.

218

It was a very difficult struggle.

219

Diana, you have already fulfilled your dream.

220

You are a singer.

221

Have you still dreams?

222

Yes, I will definitely win a Grammy.

223

Because it's possible to win a Grammy with English music.

224

But I think that's not possible.

225

About This Lesson

In this lesson, you will practice your English speaking skills through a lively discussion about personal dreams and aspirations, inspired by the video "What Is Your Dream?" from Easy German. You will learn how to express your own dreams and understand others’ aspirations in English. This content is particularly engaging as it reflects real conversations that you might encounter when speaking to native speakers. Through shadowing, you will improve your English pronunciation while exploring unique perspectives and dreams of individuals you’ve never met before.

Key Vocabulary & Phrases

Dream job: A job that someone desires to have.
Artist: A person skilled in a creative endeavor, such as painting, music, or dance.
Financially independent: Being able to support oneself without relying on others.
To travel the world: The desire to visit different countries and cultures.
Fulfilled life: A life that feels satisfying and meaningful.
To keep children healthy: The aspiration to ensure your children lead a healthy life.
Peace: A state of calm and absence of conflict.

Practice Tips

To make the most of this lesson, engage in a technique known as shadowspeak or shadow speech. Listen to the video transcript carefully, and repeat each sentence after the speaker, mimicking their tone, speed, and emotion. This approach will not only help you improve English pronunciation but also enhance your intonation and rhythm in speaking.

Here are some specific tips for shadowing the content from this video:

Start Slow: If you're new to shadowing, begin with a slower pace. Repeat smaller sections before attempting full sentences.
Focus on Elaboration: Pay attention to how the speakers elaborate on their dreams. Take pauses to reflect on your own aspirations as you shadow.
Use Amplification: When a theme resonates with you (like being an artist or traveling), elaborate your thoughts out loud to reinforce vocabulary.
Record Yourself: After several practice runs, record your voice to identify areas for improvement in pronunciation and fluency.

By following these tips, you can effectively use this engaging content to sharpen your English skills while exploring the dreams of others. Embrace the journey of learning with every shadow you create!

Grammar in this video

The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:

Structure	In the video
Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now	You've already done · has been bereased · have you already done
Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it	are treated · has been bereased · I've been engaged
Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing	everyone who want · person who I
Past continuous was/were + -ing — an action in progress at a moment in the past	was really trying · were doing

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
