Teste dein Hörverstehen! Was du über Theresa noch nicht wusstest...🤫 Lehrer-Interview

Welcome back to our channel today again with Teresa and me I thought we'd take some time to get to know Teresa a little better today I already know her as she's my sister But I thought it might be interesting for you If you get to know your teachers a little better And we’ve packaged all of this into a short listening comprehension exercise That means pay close attention because at the end of the video you'll find a few questions you can answer to check whether you've understood everything well I'm actually in favor of making a video about Laura at some point So if you have any interview questions for Laura Then she also likes to write in the comments from time to time Then I'd say let's get started Are you ready Teresa I'm ready Alright let's start with a few icebreaker questions That means they're quick decision-based questions Just tell me what you prefer Okay For example coffee or tea Coffee Why Ah so you're justifying it too Well okay maybe not What now Quick decision Anyway coffee Well I've gotten used to drinking coffee every morning And it feels really good sometimes to have a cup of coffee Very good Early bird or night owl Early bird now Wasn't that a change Yeah back in the day during study times and such I’m afraid I’m actually quite productive again in theory after 9 or 10 p m But that fits my current work routine unfortunately this concept no longer does So I actually have to get up early now Yeah okay Summer or winter Summer Chaos order Order Phone or book Book Yes Handy I wish I could claim something different but that wouldn’t reflect reality Alright got it Those were our introductory questions Let's dive a little deeper The next question would be what's your favorite word in German Well I need to think about that for a moment I mean believe it or not the German language does have quite a few beautiful words And even words that might exist only in German Things like Fernweh Fernweh means you feel the urge to travel a desire to get out and explore and so on I also find the term "Tapetenwechsel" absolutely lovely for instance when someone says they need a change of scenery The wallpaper is what's on the wall And when someone says they need a change they want to see something new—a wallpaper change Another thing I find absolutely beautiful is the word * Geborgenheit* The sense of being safe and secure I feel protected That's something associated with home or perhaps with mother with parents Feeling so protected makes you feel safe—essentially it's a safe space I really like that sense of security That's right A lovely German word Okay What about a favorite song Do you have a song for which you can truly sing the entire lyrics from memory Wow Also I think there's a song called "Jein " Incidentally a lovely German word— a blend of yes and no That’s “jein ” And on that I’m quite confident in my wording I'm not entirely sure but I think that's already quite good Who is it by Fettes Brot No not Fettes Brot Who was it again Well we just looked it up—it's by Fettes Brot By the way you can also find this song on our Spotify playlist If you're interested in German music we have a Spotify playlist featuring music to help you learn German—find the link below in the video description Great Okay Do you have a favorite place Like either somewhere in your apartment or maybe even outside where you really love to be Also in my apartment I think this must be our living room because I really enjoy spending time here and it's beautifully decorated I love that It makes me feel beautiful especially wonderfully beautiful That's where I feel relaxed Otherwise well I already walk around quite a bit since I have a dog There are already things like that Sorry I've already been walking my dog quite a bit And I'm not going to mention any specific place now But there are definitely spots like that I enjoy being in nature I think that's a pretty good way to describe it So on fields in forests and the like Okay very good What's your greatest weakness You're better suited to answer that I think my greatest weakness is sometimes my impatience I think that for example during class we're constantly told how patient we need to be and all that That's true too But I can be a little impatient with myself sometimes Maybe that's my greatest weakness—everything that comes with it What do you think Well I need to think about that again You really have no weaknesses That's the right answer No you might actually be right I think we're fairly similar in that regard I 'd have said the same so impatient—especially with myself Yes that's true Okay Is there something nobody knows about you Not yet Or something nobody believes about you And since no one else knows I'm not going to reveal it now either But what do you not believe about me Oh I don't know I suppose I might not be as confident as someone could possibly assume I think I'm quite self-critical too really You can't see that in videos of course Also you just stand in front of a camera and start talking and that's it But maybe I'm just not as confident as I might seem Or am I Yes very good Okay What was your most beautiful moment as a German teacher Can you recall anything from that time Oh there have been so many moments that were simply wonderful I don't have any specific ones in mind right now But generally speaking courses that you follow over a longer period And I think those were precisely the most beautiful moments especially integration courses when the participants first arrived in Germany And in those first few weeks everyone felt strangely uncertain as if completely unsure of themselves You had to get used to being part of the group first And everyone was speaking a different language and so on Then at some point they realized we're going to be a team And they gradually began to understand each other And of course the integration course is typically followed through to the B1 level And by then many people have already started pursuing vocational training Or have they talked about their dreams about what they want to do in Germany And whether they want to own a restaurant or pursue a particular profession And that we make it possible in this way I think that's ultimately what makes our profession so beautiful That we help contribute to people being able to live the life they dreamt of Or to build a life they truly envisioned for themselves And that's why I couldn't point to a specific moment right now Rather it's all those countless moments that together make a difference I have to say it's clear you're truly passionate about this Yes that's true too I need to quickly check something What was the next question Ah okay What would you do if you weren't teaching Is there anything you'd say wow that would also be an interesting career Yes absolutely Honestly I have to say I already have so many interests Or I mean I also enjoy it when I watch series like we recently watched a medical drama I keep wondering what Teresa would be like as a doctor or something along those lines Naturally I often find myself thinking about it But I keep coming back to the conclusion that this is the right job for me right now Especially as a child I think I wanted to become an archaeologist I wanted to be a police officer and a dog trainer someday Well let's see what else comes up But yes I'm really happy with how things are That's wonderful I'm glad to hear that Alright one more question Can you tell us what your last Google search was Moment Okay probably just greasy bread or imagination But an interesting thing I also recently looked up How to make bread dough This is now my new hobby—baking bread And exactly there I looked up how to bake a good sourdough bread So that was probably one of my last research sessions Very good I'm curious too When your bread is ready you'll let me taste it Let's see Good thank you very much for the information You will now find a few questions following this You can also check how much you've understood By the way you don't need to understand every single word We spoke completely naturally just as we do in everyday conversation And that's precisely the point of this video That you actually get to experience it in German Definitely do the exercises now and see how much you've picked up And please feel free to write in the comments which questions you'd like me to ask Laura Alright let's do it See you in one of our next videos then
