Before a few weeks, Janusz asked people here on the street,
2
what their profession is.
3
And then he met you with Diana Goldberg and you are?
4
Sängerin.
5
And then you said, that is my dream, a song to be.
6
We link your Instagram and Spotify in the Infobox,
7
because you make really good music.
8
And what do you want to ask the people in Berlin?
9
I think I have a very special question for today,
10
for the guest's show.
11
And I'm really interested in finding people here and asking them what they're doing.
12
Because it's a very personal question and it's not even asked.
13
And so we're looking for everyone who want to answer that.
14
Let's go!
15
What is your dream?
16
My dream is to make me a dream job,
17
to make me a designer.
18
My dream is to be a artist.
19
I want to live from my own art and make some projects,
20
maybe make some projects for the world to travel.
21
Let's do a quick look.
22
A nice summer, a lot of sun,
23
a great time and a great time.
24
What is your dream?
25
Once to the moon and back.
26
Cool, like for real?
27
Yeah.
28
Okay.
29
What is your dream?
30
I have no dream.
31
My dream is to have the whole world seen.
32
My dream is to make music.
33
That's really cool.
34
That's crazy.
35
Financially unabhängig to be.
36
That's my main view.
37
And to be in the way I'm going to be able to be.
38
What do you do?
39
I play music and play basketball.
40
I think that's two things that guide me and follow me very much.
41
My dream is that I can look back at my life and think that it was a very beautiful and fulfilled life.
42
I don't know exactly what it would be like to do now,
43
but I think that I'm still on the way back.
44
I'm happy, as I am.
45
My dream is that my daughter always goes well.
46
That it's my dream.
47
That it stays so, that the whole world doesn't go down,
48
that we can all live in peace and live.
49
That's my dream.
50
My dream is that I can keep my children healthy and in the free life.
51
And that I can take care of it.
52
and that I can get it with me.
53
So it's also a bit of egoistic, that I'm old.
54
What is your dream?
55
My dream is to stay healthy and maybe 100 to be.
56
I have 6 uncles and wait for my grandparents.
57
My dream is to be in South Africa.
58
Wow, okay.
59
And you were already in South Africa?
60
No, but I find it fascinating.
61
The National parks, the animals,
62
the wildness, the jungle, that's my dream.
63
My dream would be a world in which it all goes well,
64
people children and animals.
65
It's for me the most dream,
66
that we all are treated together.
67
Here, that's also my tattoos.
68
Wow, and speciesism.
69
Can you speak it?
70
I can't speak it.
71
Speciesism, that's the discriminatory form,
72
where you can't take other species.
73
And for me, of course,
74
all the fights are important to me,
75
but the one is very important to me personally.
76
And that's the first thing I think about my dream.
77
A world where we all are the same value.
78
What is your dream?
79
That you can live here in Berlin.
80
That Berlin doesn't change anything.
81
And I think that's what you wish for the future.
82
My dream is to have a fulfillment in life.
83
The goal you set yourself every day to improve yourself.
84
For me personally.
85
My dream is to have a family,
86
a big family, to have a fulfillment in life.
87
My life, even if you made a mistake,
88
just so to go in,
89
that you say, everything happened.
90
But I became the person who I am today.
91
And where I sit with my wife and my wife and my Enkels and children,
92
who all play.
93
If you have your dream now,
94
you're a great singer, music player and basketball player,
95
how does your life look like?
96
I have a big villa in Portugal,
97
a wonderful woman, and family.
98
It would be cool to have a really tightly knit band,
99
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
And so I want to know what your dream is.
226
And where people are going to hold you?
227

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

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!
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.
