1
Schau mal, hier muss es sein.
2
Okay.
3
Oh nein, so viele Leute.
4
Willkommen in Berlin.
5
Willkommen zurück bei einer neuen Episode von Easy German.
6
Today we show you how you can see a living in Germany in Germany.
7
If you've already searched a living in Germany, you know that it can be anstrenged.
8
Better is it, if you know the right words already know.
9
So we play with our team and our viewers a real Wohnungsbesichtigung.
10
Los geht's!
11
So, good morning everyone.
12
My name is Andre Monet from the Immobilienagentur Haifisch.
13
The first five to seven people can now come in the room.
14
The others must be waiting for the room.
15
So, next
16
group please.
17
So, as you can see, it is a room for a small room.
18
That means a small room and a kitchen and a bathroom.
19
It is about 35 square meters.
20
The Kaltmiete is 1.100 Euro.
21
The Nebenkosten is about 1.300 Euro.
22
Very cheap!
23
The Kaltmiete is the eigentliche Miete.
24
But there are also the Nebenkosten.
25
Also the Kosten for so things like Heizung, Wasser, Müllabfuhr.
26
And together that is the Warmmiete.
27
That is the budget, which you must then monthly pass on.
28
And you must have to pay a Kaution to pay.
29
That is a Sicherheitszahlung, usually three Kaltmieten.
30
And this money is full-time when you take it back, if you take it back, if you don't have any in which screening is invaded dlc.
31
ab hurana herr det stage
32
let's see herr herr she sees herr return
33
The student, the student.
34
The WG.
35
WG-geeignet.
36
Sollen wir uns für diese winzige Wohnung wirklich bewerben?
37
Haben wir eine Wahl?
38
Was brauchen Sie denn für die Bewerbung?
39
Eine vollständige Bewerbungsmappe, ein Anschreiben ist optional, kann aber helfen.
40
Und was beinhaltet die Mappe?
41
Also erstmal natürlich eine Schufa-Auskunft, die darf nicht älter sein als drei Monate.
42
Schufa-Auskunft, das ist ein guter Hinweis, das kennt ihr vielleicht noch nicht.
43
In Germany, there is a private company, the Shufa, which is a private company that is collecting data about your creditability.
44
It is often controversial in Germany, but in the reality, you need this in every property.
45
This Shufa-Auskunft can be online and it shows the owner then, if you always have your Rechnungen rechtzeitig bezahlt habt.
46
Was benötigen wir noch?
47
Eine Kopie von Ihrem Ausweis oder Pass muss dabei sein,
48
dann eine Mietschuldenfreiheitsbescheinigung von Ihrem vorherigen Vermieter und dann die Gehaltsnachweise der letzten drei bis sechs Monate,
49
am besten zusammen mit einem unbefristeten Arbeitsvertrag.
50
Auch das ist typisch in Deutschland.
51
Man muss Gehaltsnachweise zeigen, also zeigen, wie viel ihr verdient.
52
Und am besten habt ihr sogar einen unbefristeten Arbeitsvertrag.
53
Noch etwas, ein interessantes Wort, die Miet-Schulden-Freiheitsbescheinigung.
54
Heißt, ihr seid frei von Mietschulden.
55
Ihr habt also früher immer eure Miete pünktlich bezahlt.
56
Das bekommt man von eurem Vormieter.
57
Entschuldigung, wie ist das, wenn man Student ist?
58
Dann brauchen sie eine Bürgschaft.
59
Eine Bürgschaft bedeutet, dass jemand anderes, zum Beispiel eure Eltern, sich verpflichtet, die Miete dann zu übernehmen, if you can't pay them, if you can't pay them.
60
So a document is often required, if you have no job in Germany or you have a very low income.
61
So feels the Vermieter then safer, that the Miete is at all.
62
And is the WG-Wohnung-gee-eignet?
63
Yes, if you have the 35 square meters and the two rooms, you can start a WG here.
64
Okay, thank you.
65
Excuse me, I just moved from London to Berlin.
66
I have no mortgage-sulden-freiheits-send.
67
Then, please, re-write some other Mietnachweise, such as Kontoauszüge, which show that they have in the last six months always pünktly their Mietes paid.
68
Okay, all right.
69
Thank you.
70
This question has many of you.
71
What is, if you are new in Germany and have some documents not yet has.
72
Then you often can offer alternatives.
73
Instead of a Schufa-Auskunft or a Mietschulden- and a Bescheinigung, you can for example a contract, a contract, a contract, a contract or a a contract.
74
Some are flexible and accept that, others are very streng and then decide and then they will be able to pay for a business, who has the full-time requirements.
75
While in the room is still a place, I met here at the top of the room a real Easy German-Mitglied.
76
Bella, why are you a Easy German-Mitglied?
77

78

95

97
Ja, diese Wohnung wird mit Küche vermietet.
98

99
Nein, die Küche bleibt hier drin.
100

101
In Germany, the most most homes are actually without a kitchen.

By learning these phrases, you can navigate real estate interactions more confidently, whether you’re looking to rent a cozy flat or understanding the rental process in a German-speaking country.

Step-by-step Shadowing Guide
To effectively use the shadowing technique from the video, follow this structured approach to enhance your English speaking practice:
- Watch the video once: Familiarize yourself with the content and overall flow of the conversation.
- Listen and read: Use subtitles to follow along as you listen. This helps in improving English pronunciation by associating sounds with written words.
- Pause and repeat: Select short phrases, pause the video, and repeat them aloud. This way, you focus on the intonation and rhythm of the language.
- Practice with shadowspeak: Mimic the speakers in real-time. This technique builds fluency and makes your voice sound more natural.
- Record yourself: Listening to yourself can help identify areas for improvement and track your progress over time.
Remember, incorporating the shadowing technique into your routine will not only enhance your pronunciation but also empower you to communicate effectively. Use resources like learn English with YouTube to discover more content that interests you and aligns with your goals in learning English.
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | can be anstrenged · is invaded · is often required |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | you've already searched · has helped · have divided |
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.
