Hello my friends.
2
Welcome back to English Unleashed.
3
I'm Tom.
4
In today's episode, I'm going to talk about a very useful book called The Practicing Mind.
5
The author is Thomas Sterner.
6
This book is about practice.
7
It is about patience.
8
It is about focus.
9
It is about how to stay calm while you are trying to improve at something.
10
It is a very helpful book for anyone learning a skill.
11
Maybe you are learning English.
12
Maybe you are learning music.
13
Maybe you are learning how to write, speak, teach, work, or build a better life.
14
The message of this book can help you.
15
The main idea is very simple.
16
Enjoy the process.
17
The process means the steps you take every day.
18
It means the practice.
19
It means the small actions.
20
It means the daily work.
21
The result is the thing you want at the end.
22
For example, speaking English fluently is a result.
23
Playing a difficult song beautifully is a result.
24
Writing a book is a result.
25
Building a successful business is a result.
26
But the process is what you do today.
27
Listening for 10 minutes is process.
28
repeating one sentence is process writing one paragraph is process taking one smallest step is process the author says
29
that many people become unhappy
30
because they focus too much on the result they think about where they want to be
31
and then they compare it with where they are now This creates stress.
32
They say, I'm not good enough yet.
33
I am too slow.
34
I should be better.
35
Why am I still making mistakes?
36
Why is this taking so long?
37
This way of thinking makes practice painful.
38
If you always look at the result, the present moment feels like a problem.
39
You feel that today is not enough.
40
You feel that your current level is not enough.
41
You feel that practice is only something you must suffer through before you get the reward.
42
But this book teaches a different way.
43
Practice is not punishment.
44
Practice is not a boring road before life begins.
45
Practice is life.
46
Practice is where growth happens.
47
Practice is where your mind becomes stronger.
48
Practice is where your skill becomes deeper.
49
This is very important for English learners.
50
Many learners say, I will be happy when I am fluent.
51
But what happens before fluency?
52
If you only wait for fluency, you may feel unhappy for many years.
53
Every mistake feels sad.
54
Every slow conversation feels bad.
55
Every difficult listening exercise feels terrible.
56
You keep thinking, I'm not there yet.
57
But what if you change the focus?
58
What if you say, today I am practicing.
59
That is enough.
60
What if you say, this sentence is my work today?
61
What if you say, this mistake is not a failure, it is part of practice?
62
What if you say, I do not need to arrive today, I only need to practice today?
63
This makes learning lighter, it makes practice calmer.
64
The book says that when we focus on the process, we become more patient.
65
We stop fighting the present moment.
66
We stop thinking that practice is only a problem.
67
We begin to see practice as the path itself.
68
This does not mean we forget our goals.
69
Goals are useful.
70
they give direction if you want to speak english fluently the goal can guide you
71
if you want to pass an exam the goal can guide you
72
if you want to play a piece of music the goal can help you
73
but the goal should not steal your piece a goal should point the way it should not make
74
every step feel wrong for example imagine you are climbing a mountain the top of the mountain is your goal
75
but if you only look at the top you may feel tired and frustrated it looks far away it looks difficult,
76
you may think, I'm still not there.
77
But if you focus on the next step, climbing becomes possible.
78
One step, then another step, then another one.
79
Language learning is like this.
80
fluency is the mountain top today's listening is one step today's speaking practice is one step
81
today's vocabulary review is one step today's mistake is also one
82
step you climb through practice another important idea in this book is that practice trains the mind
83
Many people think practice only trains the skill.
84
For example, English practice trains English.
85
Piano practice trains piano.
86
Exercise trains the body.
87
But practice also trains your attitude.
88
It trains patience.
89
It trains attention.
90
It trains emotional control.
91
It trains discipline.
92
When you practice English slowly and carefully, you're not only learning English, you are learning how to stay with difficulty.
93
You're learning how not to run away.
94
You're learning how to continue without anger.
95
You are learning how to be present.
96
Present means here, now, in this moment.
97
The practicing mind is a mind that can stay in the present.
98
It does not always run to the future.
99
It does not always say, when will I be finished?
100
It pays attention to what is happening now.
101
It says, this is my task.
102
I will do it carefully.
103
This is a peaceful way to learn.
104
If you are repeating one English sentence, repeat that sentence.
105
Do not think, why am I not fluent yet?
106
Just listen and repeat.
107
Feel the sound.
108
Notice the rhythm.
109
And try again.
110
If you're reading one paragraph, read that paragraph.
111
Do not think, why can't I read a whole book?
112
Just read the words in front of you.
113
If you are speaking for one minute, speak for one minute.
114
Do not judge your whole English ability.
115
Just practice this one small moment.
116
This is the practicing mind.
117
So, in this episode, I will talk about process.
118
I will talk about patience, focus, discipline, present moment practice.
119
I will talk about mistakes, calm repetition, and how to enjoy learning.
120
I will connect the ideas from this book to English learning because language learning needs a practicing mind too.
121
So, the first lesson from this book is simple.
122
Do not hate practice.
123
Practice is not the thing between you and success.
124
Practice is the thing that creates success.
125
And when you learn to enjoy practice, the whole journey becomes lighter.
126
all right one of the biggest ideas in this book is this focus on the process not only on the product
127
the product is the final result it is what you want
128
to have it is the finished thing for example fluent english
129
is a product a perfect performance is a product a completed project is a product A high exam score is a product.
130
A successful business is a product.
131
The process is what creates the product.
132
The process is the daily practice, the small steps, the repetition, the listening, the speaking, the revealing,
133
the correcting, and the trying again.
134
Many people want the product, but they do not enjoy the process.
135
This is why they suffer.
136
They want the final result so much that every step feels too slow.
137
They do not enjoy today because they're always thinking about tomorrow.
138
For English learners, this is very common.
139
A learner says, I want to speak English fluently.
140
This is a good goal.
141
But then they listen to themselves speaking today and feel disappointed.
142
They say, well, my English is not fluent.
143
They compare today's English with the dream.
144
The dream is far away, so today feels bad.
145
But this is not a helpful way to learn.
146
The book teaches us to bring our attention back to the process.
147
Instead of asking, am I fluent yet?
148
Ask, did I practice today?
149
Instead of asking, why am I not advanced?
150
Ask, what small skill can I improve now?
151
Instead of asking, when will I finish?
152
Ask, can I give full attention to this step?
153
This changes everything.
154
When you focus on the product, you feel pressure, you feel stress.
155
When you focus on the process, you feel direction.
156
Pressure says you must be there now.
157
Direction says take the next step.
158
The process is always available.
159
You may not be fluent today, but you can practice today.
160
You may not understand a whole movie today, but you can understand one short scene.
161
You may not speak perfectly today
162
but you can answer one simple question you may not know many words today
163
but you can learn three useful phrases so the process is always available
164
and this is why process is powerful it gives you something you can do now the product is in the future
165
The process is in your hands today.
166
The author explains that when we become too focused on the product, we become impatient.
167
We want to finish quickly.
168
We rush.
169
We become frustrated.
170
We do not enjoy the work.
171
We judge ourselves all the time.
172
But real skill needs patience.
173
Real skill grows slowly.
174
Real skill comes from repeating simple things with attention.
175
Think about pronunciation.
176
You cannot improve pronunciation by being angry with your pronunciation.
177
You improve by listening, repeating, recording, correcting, and repeating again.
178
The process is simple, but it needs patience.
179
Think about speaking.
180
you cannot become a confident speaker by waiting for perfect confidence
181
you become confident by speaking a little feeling nervous trying again
182
and slowly becoming more comfortable think about vocabulary you cannot own
183
a word by seeing it once you need to meet it
184
many times you need to hear it many times you need to read it say it use it
185
and review it this is process a process focused learner is
186
calmer they do not need every day to feel amazing they understand
187
that practice is practice some days are easy some days are hard some days you feel progress some days you feel
188
slow but the process continues this is very important process does not depend on mood mood means how you feel
189
if you only practice when your mood is good your progress will be unstable
190
but if you follow a process you can practice even
191
when you do not feel excited
192
so your progress will be stable you can do the small
193
step you can listen for five minutes you can repeat one
194
sentence you can write one line a small process is better than no process the book also helps us see
195
that the product is not always under our control you cannot fully control
196
when you will become fluent you You cannot control every exam result.
197
You cannot control how fast your brain will absorb everything.
198
You cannot control how other people judge you.
199
But you can control practice.
200
You can control your attention.
201
You can control today's step.
202
This gives peace.
203
A learner who only focuses on the product may feel helpless.
204
They keep looking at the distance.
205
They say, I'm still far away.
206
But a learner who focuses on the process says, today I can practice.
207
Today I can improve one small thing.
208
That is a stronger mindset.
209
Another important idea in the book is that when we focus on the process, we enjoy learning more.
210
The daily practice becomes meaningful.
211
You start to feel satisfaction from doing the work, not only from finishing the work.
212
For example, you may feel proud because you listened today.
213
You may feel calm because you repeated a sentence carefully.
214
You may feel happy because you understood a phrase that was difficult before.
215
The process becomes satisfying.
216
This is important because the product may take a long time.
217
If you cannot enjoy the process, you may quit before the product arrives.
218
But if you learn to enjoy the process, you can continue for many years.
219
This is how strong skills are built.
220
So, the lesson of this part of the book is clear.
221
Do not live only for the product.
222
Respect the product, but love the process.
223
The result gives direction, but the process gives life.
224
The goal shows where to go, but practice is where you actually live.
225
Your English grows in the process.
226
Your confidence grows in the process.
227
Your discipline grows in the process.
228
Your practicing mind grows in the process.
229
So today, do not ask only, how far am I from fluency? be.
230
Instead, ask, what is my next small practice?
231
Then do it with attention.
232
And that, my friend, would be your practice for today.
233
Another important idea in the practicing mind is presence.
234
Presence means being here, being in this moment, paying attention to what you are doing now.
235
This sounds simple, but it is difficult.
236
Our mind likes to travel.
237
It travels to the future.
238
It says, when will I be good? When will I finish?
239
What if I fail?
240
What if people judge me?
241
It also travels to the past.
242
It says, I made mistakes before.
243
I failed before.
244
I was embarrassed before.
245
I should have started earlier.
246
The mind moves everywhere, but practice happens only now.
247
You cannot practice yesterday.
248
You cannot practice tomorrow.
249
You can only practice now.
250
This is why presence is so important.
251
When you are present, your practice becomes deeper.
252
You hear more, you notice more, you learn more, you become calmer, you stop fighting the moment.
253
For English learners, being present means paying attention to the sentence you are hearing now.
254
Not worrying about the whole language, not judging your whole level.
255
Just listening to this sentence, repeating this phrase, understanding this short part,
256
speaking this answer one moment at a time.
257
Imagine you are shadowing an English sentence.
258
Shadowing means you listen and repeat.
259
Or you speak with the audio.
260
If your mind is busy with fear, you may not hear the rhythm, you may not notice the stress,
261
you may only think my pronunciation is bad.
262
But if you are present, you listen carefully, you notice the sound, you try again, you improve.
263
Presence makes practice better.
264
So the book suggests that many people create stress because they're not in the present.
265
They are doing one thing, but thinking about another thing.
266
They are practicing, but thinking about the result.
267
They are learning, but thinking about failure.
268
They are working, but thinking about finishing.
269
This creates tension.
270
means tightness it can be in the body or the mind
271
when you are always trying to be somewhere else the present feels uncomfortable but
272
if you accept the present practice becomes peaceful this does not
273
mean practice is always easy it means you stop fighting the fact that practice is needed For example,
274
if you are a beginner, you are a beginner.
275
That is not a problem.
276
It is the current moment.
277
If you make a mistake, you made a mistake.
278
That is not the end.
279
It is information.
280
If you need to repeat something 10 times, you need to repeat it 10 times.
281
That is the process.
282
presence says this is where I am this is what I'm doing I will give attention to this step and
283
that is very powerful a present learner does not say I
284
should already be fluent a present learner says today I am
285
practicing this sentence a present learner does not say I hate being slow A present learner says,
286
slow practice helps me learn.
287
A present learner does not say, I must finish quickly.
288
A present learner says, let me do this carefully.
289
Careful practice is often better than rushed practice.
290
This is true for speaking too.
291
Many learners rush because they want to sound fluent.
292
they speak too fast, then they make more mistakes.
293
Their pronunciation becomes unclear.
294
Their ideas become messy.
295
But if they slow down and speak with presence, they often sound better.
296
Fluency is not only speak, fluency is flow.
297
A person can speak slowly and clearly, and still communicate well.
298
So, do not rush. Be present.
299
Say one sentence clearly, then another sentence, and then another one.
300
For example, I think daily practice is important.
301
Pause.
302
It helps your brain remember English.
303
Pause.
304
Listening every morning can improve your listening.
305
Pause.
306
You see, this is clear, calm speaking practice.
307
You say a sentence, you pause, and you give yourself time.
308
Presence also helps with listening.
309
Many learners panic when they miss one word.
310
They hear one unknown word and think, ah, I don't understand anything.
311
Then they stop listening.
312
But a present listener continues.
313
They say, well, I missed that word, but I can still understand the main idea.
314
They stay with the audio.
315
And that, my friend, is a skill.
316
Do not let one missed word take you out of the moment.
317
Stay present.
318
Listen for what you can understand.
319
Then listen again.
320
The practicing mind is patient because it knows that every repetition is useful.
321
So be patient.
322
When you repeat a sentence, you're not wasting time.
323
You are training.
324
When you listen again, you're not failing.
325
You are learning deeper.
326
Repetition is not a sign that you are weak.
327
Repetition is how skill grows.
328
Presence also helps with anxiety.
329
Anxiety often comes from future thinking.
330
What if I fail?
331
What if I forget?
332
What if I sound stupid?
333
These questions are about the future.
334
They may not happen, but your body reacts as if they are happening now.
335
To come back to the present, focus on a small action.
336
Take one breath.
337
Listen to one sentence.
338
Say one phrase.
339
Write one word.
340
Answer one question.
341
Small actions bring the mind back.
342
For English practice, you can use this sentence.
343
Right now, I only need to practice this.
344
This is a calming sentence.
345
Right now, I only need to listen.
346
Right now, I only need to repeat.
347
Right now, I only need to speak for one minute.
348
Right now, I only need to try again.
349
This helps reduce pressure.
350
The book reminds us that practice is not something to rush through.
351
Practice is where we live.
352
If we are always waiting for the future, we miss the life inside today.
353
This is true beyond English it is true in music work relationships health
354
and personal growth the present moment is the only place where change happens.
355
So the lesson of this part is simple.
356
Be present while you practice.
357
Give attention to the step in front of you.
358
Do not fight your current level.
359
Do not rush.
360
Do not judge every second.
361
Listen, repeat, notice, and try again.
362
Your mind will run away sometimes.
363
That is normal.
364
Gently bring it back.
365
One sentence, one breath, one step.
366
This is the practicing mind.
367
Now, many people hear the word discipline and think of something hard.
368
They think discipline means forcing yourself, pushing yourself, being strict, feeling guilty,
369
working even when you hate it.
370
But the book gives us a calmer idea of discipline.
371
Discipline does not have to be stressful.
372
Discipline can be peaceful.
373
Discipline can simply mean doing the next right thing with attention.
374
It means staying with the process.
375
It means returning to practice.
376
It means not letting every emotion control your action.
377
This is important because many learners have a painful relationship with discipline.
378
They say, I must study.
379
I should be better.
380
I am lazy.
381
I never do enough.
382
This creates shame.
383
and shame does not help learning.
384
A better kind of discipline is gentle and steady.
385
Gentle means kind.
386
Steady means stable and regular.
387
Gentle discipline says, I will practice today, but I will not attack myself.
388
It says, I will take this seriously, but I will stay calm.
389
It says, I will return to the habit even after a bad day.
390
This kind of discipline lasts longer.
391
The book teaches that when we focus on the process, discipline becomes easier.
392
Why?
393
Because the task becomes smaller.
394
You're not thinking about the whole future you're only doing the step in front of you for example
395
if you think i must become fluent the goal feels huge
396
but if you think i will listen for 10 minutes the action feels possible
397
discipline is easier when the action is clear and small do not discipline yourself with big
398
pressure guide yourself with small actions for english learners this
399
means creating simple routines maybe every morning after coffee you listen to english for 10 minutes
400
maybe every night before sleep you review five phrases maybe every
401
afternoon you speak for one minute about your day these actions are not dramatic
402
but if you repeat them they become powerful
403
so discipline is not one heroic day discipline is returning again
404
and again repeating again and again another important idea is
405
that discipline grows when we remove unnecessary emotion from practice sometimes we make practice too emotional
406
if it goes well we feel excited if practice goes badly we feel terrible
407
if we miss one day we feel like failures if we make one mistake
408
we feel hopeless this emotional roller coaster makes learning hard a roller coaster goes up
409
and down quickly emotional practices like that one day you feel high one day you feel low you depend
410
too much on feelings the practicing mind is more stable it
411
says today's practice is today's practice some parts were good some
412
parts need work i will continue this is calm for example
413
if you listen to a podcast
414
and understand only 50 you do not need to panic you can say good i understood some of it.
415
I will listen again.
416
If you speak and make mistakes, you can say, good, now I know what to practice.
417
If you feel tired and only practice five minutes, you can say, good, I kept the habit alive.
418
This is discipline without drama.
419
Drama makes learning heavy.
420
Calm practice makes learning possible.
421
The author also teaches that we should not judge ourselves constantly.
422
Judgment is when we keep saying, this is good, this is bad, I'm good, I'm bad.
423
Of course, we need to notice mistakes.
424
But constant judgment creates tension.
425
There is a difference between observation and judgment.
426
Observation says, I missed this word.
427
Judgment says I am terrible at listening.
428
Observation says my pronunciation of this sound needs practice.
429
Judgment says my accent is awful.
430
Observation helps.
431
Judgment hurts.
432
The practicing mind observes.
433
It notices.
434
It corrects.
435
It continues.
436
This is a very useful habit for English practice.
437
When you record your voice, listen like a teacher, not like an enemy.
438
Do not say, I hate my voice.
439
Say, what can I improve?
440
Maybe the answer is stress.
441
Maybe the answer is rhythm.
442
Maybe it is one sound.
443
Maybe it is pausing more.
444
Choose one thing and practice it.
445
This is disciplined learning.
446
discipline also means finishing the small action you planned not
447
because you are afraid not because you hate yourself but
448
because you respect yourself if you say I will listen for five minutes listen for five minutes
449
if you say I will repeat one sentence repeat one sentence keeping small promises builds self-trust.
450
Self-trust means you believe your own word.
451
This is very important.
452
Many learners break promises to themselves because the promises are too big.
453
They say, I will study two hours every day.
454
Then they stop.
455
Then they feel bad.
456
Instead, make a smaller promise
457
and keep it for example i will listen for five minutes
458
i will speak for one minute i will write one sentence
459
i will review three phrases these small promises are easy to keep and
460
when you keep them you feel stronger you begin to think i can trust myself this is discipline not pressure not
461
shame, trust.
462
Another part of discipline is returning after distraction.
463
You will get distracted.
464
Everyone does.
465
Your mind will run away.
466
Your phone will call you.
467
Your mood will change.
468
You may forget.
469
The question is not, can I be perfect?
470
The question is, can I return?
471
Return
472
to the sentence return to the audio return to the notebook
473
return to the habit return to the present moment this is the practicing mind
474
so the lesson of this part is simple discipline does not
475
need to feel harsh real discipline can be calm gentle and steady it is doing the next small action it is
476
observing without attacking yourself it is keeping small promises it is returning
477
when you drift away you do not need to fight yourself
478
to learn english you need to guide yourself with patience with
479
attention with calm discipline okay one of the most surprising ideas in the book is
480
that slowing down can help you improve faster at first this
481
sounds strange many people think faster is better they want to
482
learn fast speak fast finish fast improve fast they want quick
483
results they want to move quickly from beginner to advanced
484
but in many skills rushing creates mistakes rushing makes the mind
485
tense rushing makes the body tight rushing stops you from noticing details
486
and details matter slow practice is powerful
487
because it gives your mind time to think time to notice
488
when you slow down you can hear the sound you can
489
feel the rhythm you can see the mistakes you can correct
490
the movement you can understand the pattern this is true in languages in music in everything
491
if a pianist plays too fast too early mistakes become
492
habits but if they slow down and if they play slowly
493
and correctly the fingers will learn the right movement later speed
494
can come this is also true in english many learners want
495
to speak fast they think fast speaking means fluent speaking but if you speak fast with unclear pronunciation weak grammar and panic,
496
communication becomes hard.
497
It is better to speak slowly and clearly first.
498
Later, your speed will grow naturally.
499
So, slow first, clear first, natural speed later.
500
This is a very important idea.
501
For pronunciation, slow practice is especially useful.
502
Choose one sentence.
503
Listen to it.
504
Repeat slowly.
505
Notice the sounds.
506
Notice which words are stressed.
507
Notice where the voice goes up and down.
508
Then repeat again.
509
Do not rush.
510
Feel each word.
511
Say it with rhythm.
512
Slow practice helps your mouth learn.
513
For listening, slowing down is also useful.
514
You can listen to a short part again and again.
515
You can use slower audio if needed.
516
You can read the transcript.
517
You can listen again without the transcript.
518
You can focus on one phrase.
519
This is much better than listening to one difficult video and understanding almost nothing.
520
Slow learning is not weak learning.
521
Slow learning is deep learning.
522
Many learners feel ashamed when they need slow material.
523
They think, I should understand fast English.
524
But if slow English helps you build the foundation, use it.
525
There is no shame.
526
A strong foundation makes advanced listening easier later.
527
The practicing mind does not care about looking impressive.
528
It cares about real improvement.
529
This is a beautiful point.
530
Sometimes we want to practice in a way that makes us feel advanced.
531
We choose hard materials.
532
We speak too fast.
533
We avoid basics.
534
We want to prove something.
535
But practice is not about proving.
536
Practice is about improving.
537
If slow practice improves you, slow practice is intelligent.
538
If simple material helps you, simple material is intelligent.
539
If repeating one sentence helps you, repetition is intelligent.
540
Do what helps you, not what looks impressive.
541
Slowing down also helps with stress.
542
When you rush, your body becomes tense.
543
Your breathing becomes short.
544
Your thoughts become noisy.
545
But when you slow down, your body relaxes.
546
You can think more clearly.
547
You can learn more calmly.
548
For English speaking, try this.
549
Before answering, pause for one second.
550
Take a breath.
551
Then speak.
552
This short pause can make your answer better.
553
It gives your mind time.
554
It makes you sound more thoughtful.
555
It reduces panic.
556
A pause is not failure.
557
A pause is control.
558
Many learners are afraid of silence.
559
They think they must answer immediately.
560
But even native speakers pause.
561
Good speakers pause.
562
Teachers pause.
563
Leaders pause.
564
A short pause can make speech stronger.
565
So practice calm pauses.
566
If someone asks you a question, you can say, that's a good question.
567
Let me think for a second.
568
Or I would say, These phrases give you time.
569
They help you slow down.
570
Slowing down also helps you avoid multitasking.
571
Multitasking means doing many things at the same time.
572
Many people listen to English while checking messages, thinking about work, and looking at social media.
573
This is not deep practice.
574
It may give some exposure, but it is not focused.
575
For deep practice, choose one thing.
576
Just listen.
577
Just repeat.
578
Just read.
579
Just speak.
580
One task with attention is better than five tasks with no attention.
581
The book teaches that focus grows when we keep bringing the mind back to the task.
582
You do not need perfect focus.
583
Your mind will move away.
584
That is normal.
585
When you notice, bring it back gently.
586
If you're listening, return to the sound.
587
If you're reading, return to the sentence.
588
If you're speaking, return to the idea.
589
If you're practicing pronunciation, return to the mouth movement.
590
This is mental training.
591
Slow practice also helps you enjoy the process.
592
When you rush, you do not enjoy anything.
593
You only want to finish.
594
But when you slow down, you can notice small improvements.
595
You can enjoy one clear sentence.
596
You can enjoy one phrase you understand.
597
You can enjoy one sound that becomes better.
598
Joy in practice is important because it helps you continue.
599
For English learners, here is a simple, slow practice routine.
600
Choose 30 seconds of audio.
601
Listen once for meaning.
602
Listen again and notice phrases.
603
Choose one sentence.
604
Repeat it slowly five times.
605
Record yourself once.
606
Listen and choose one small improvement.
607
Repeat again.
608
This is not a long practice, but it is deep.
609
It is focused.
610
It is calm.
611
It is powerful.
612
So the lesson of this part is simple.
613
Slow down.
614
Do not rush your learning.
615
Do not confuse speed with skill.
616
Practice slowly enough to notice, correct, and understand.
617
Slow practice builds strong foundations.
618
Strong foundations make future speed possible.
619
If you want to go faster later, learn slowly now.
620
Alright, now let's talk about mistakes.
621
Mistakes are a normal part of practice.
622
But many people hate mistakes.
623
They feel embarrassed.
624
They feel angry.
625
They feel discouraged.
626
They think a mistake means they are not good.
627
They think a mistake means they are failing.
628
But the practicing mind teaches us to see mistakes differently.
629
A mistake is not the enemy.
630
A mistake is information.
631
It shows you what needs attention.
632
It shows you where to practice.
633
It shows you the next step.
634
If you are learning English and you make a grammar mistake, the mistake is not proof that you cannot learn.
635
It is just showing you a pattern that needs more practice.
636
If you pronounce a word unclearly, the mistake shows you which sound to practice.
637
If you forget a sound while speaking,
638
the mistake shows you that you need to use that word more often.
639
Mistakes guide practice.
640
Without mistakes, you would not know what to improve.
641
This is why the practicing mind does not panic when mistakes happen.
642
It observes, it corrects, and it tries again.
643
Observation is calm.
644
Panic is noisy.
645
A calm learner says, I made a mistake.
646
Good.
647
Now I know what to practice.
648
A noisy mind says, I am terrible.
649
I will never improve.
650
Which one do you think helps more?
651
Of course, the calm mind.
652
Patience is also very important.
653
Patience means you allow growth to take time.
654
You do not demand instant results.
655
You understand that skill is built through repetition.
656
Many learners are impatient because they compare themselves with others.
657
They see someone speaking well and think, why not me?
658
But they do not see that person's full journey.
659
They do not see the years of practice.
660
They do not see the mistakes.
661
They do not see the silent work.
662
Comparison can steal your peace.
663
Your path is your path.
664
Your practice is your practice.
665
Your progress is your progress.
666
This does not mean you cannot learn from others.
667
Of course you can.
668
Good speakers can inspire you.
669
Teachers can guide you.
670
Advanced learners can show you what is possible.
671
But do not use other people as a weapon against yourself.
672
Use them as inspiration, not punishment.
673
The practicing mind stays with its own step.
674
One step at a time.
675
One sentence at a time.
676
One practice session at a time.
677
Okay, now let's bring everything together.
678
The Practicing Mind by Thomas Sterner is a book about learning how to practice with focus,
679
patience, and peace.
680
It teaches us that real growth comes when we stop fighting the process and start living inside it.
681
This message is very important for English learners.
682
Many learners want fluent English, but they do not enjoy practice.
683
They want the final result, but they feel frustrated by the daily steps.
684
They want to speak naturally, but they feel ashamed of mistakes.
685
They want to understand fast English, but they get angry when they miss words.
686
This book gives us a better way.
687
The first lesson is to focus on the process, not only on the result.
688
The result is fluency.
689
The process is listening today, repeating today, speaking today, reviewing today.
690
You cannot control the exact day when fluency will arrive, but you can control today's practice.
691
So, come back to the process.
692
The second lesson is to be present.
693
Practice happens now, not yesterday, not tomorrow, now.
694
If you are listening, listen.
695
If you're repeating, repeat.
696
If you're speaking, speak.
697
Do not judge your whole future while practicing one sentence.
698
One sentence deserves your attention the third lesson is calm discipline
699
discipline does not need to be harsh you do not need
700
to insult yourself to improve you do not need shame you need a small plan a steady routine
701
and the ability to return gentle discipline lasts longer than angry discipline the fourth lesson is slow down.
702
Slow practice is not weak.
703
If you want to speak faster later, practice clearly now.
704
The next lesson is to see mistakes as information, and the next lesson is patience.
705
English takes time.
706
Any real skill takes time.
707
You cannot force growth, but you can support it.
708
You can show up, you can repeat, you can practice, you can continue.
709
So now let's make this practical.
710
How can you use the practicing mind for English every day?
711
Start with a small practice session, maybe 10 minutes, maybe 5 minutes, maybe even 2 minutes on a very busy day.
712
Make the practice simple enough to repeat.
713
Choose one short audio, Listen to it without pressure.
714
Try to understand the main idea.
715
Listen again.
716
Notice useful phrases.
717
Then choose one sentence.
718
Repeat it slowly.
719
Feel the rhythm.
720
Copy the pronunciation.
721
Then use the sentence in your own way.
722
Change one word.
723
Make it personal.
724
Make it about yourself.
725
and then speak for one minute.
726
Talk about your day.
727
Talk about your learning and talk about your goal.
728
This is a simple process.
729
Listening, noticing, repeating, changing and speaking. Do it calmly.
730
Do it patiently.
731
Do it without attacking yourself.
732
Do it with attention. Do it again tomorrow.
733
This is the real power.
734
If you feel tired, say, I can do the small version today.
735
If you miss one day, say, I'm back.
736
All right.
737
Thank you so much again for listening to English Unleashed.
738
I hope this episode helped you understand the main ideas of the book, The Practicing Mind in Easy English.
739
Listen again if you can.
740
The first time, understand a message.
741
The second time, notice useful vocabulary.
742
The third time, shadow the sentences and practice speaking.
743
Bye for now.

القواعد في هذا الفيديو
أكثر التراكيب التي يستخدمها المتحدث، مع العبارات نفسها من الفيديو:
| التركيب | في الفيديو |
|---|---|
| الجمل الشرطية if + جملة، will/would + فعل — شرط ونتيجته | if you think i will listen · if you say I will listen · if you say I will repeat |
| المبني للمجهول be + اسم المفعول — التركيز على ما يحدث لا على من يفعله | be finished · are built · is needed |
| الاحتمال بـ “might / may” might/may + فعل — شيء ممكن لكنه غير مؤكد | may feel · may think · may not be |
| فعل + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — أفعال يتبعها الفعل بصيغة -ing | keep thinking · stop fighting · stop thinking |
نطق يحتاج إلى انتباه
يستخدم المتحدث 28 من الصيغ المختصرة، مثل you're, I'm, they're. انطقها بصيغتها القصيرة كما تسمعها.
- أصوات “th”: rhythm /ˈɹɪð.əm/, thoughtful /ˈθɔːtfəl/, breathe /bɹiːð/
- أصوات “sh” و“zh”: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, observation /ˌɑbzɚˈveɪʃn̩/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/
- الكلمات الطويلة — انتبه لموضع النبر: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, examination /ɪɡˌzæm.ɪˈneɪ.ʃən/, intelligent /ɪnˈtɛlɪd͡ʒənt/
أصوات يجدها متحدثو العربية صعبة:
- /p/ — ليس /b/: انطقه مع نفخة هواء: discipline /ˈdɪsəplɪn/, pause /pɔːz/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/, repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/
- /v/ — ليس /f/: مع اهتزاز الأوتار الصوتية: observation /ˌɑbzɚˈveɪʃn̩/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, observe /əbˈzɜːv/
- تتابع الصوامت — لا تضف حركة بينها: fluent /ˈfluənt/, phrase /ˈfɹeɪ̯z/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, patience /ˈpeɪ̯.ʃəns/, fluency /ˈfluːənsi/
كيف تتدرب بهذا الفيديو
- استمع إلى الفيديو كاملًا مرة واحدة دون أن تتكلم، ودوّن الكلمات التي لا تعرفها.
- ردّد جملة جملة بالسرعة العادية، وكرّر كل جملة حتى يتطابق إيقاعك مع المتحدث.
- سجّل صوتك وقارنه بالأصل، مع الانتباه إلى كلمات مثل discipline, pause, fluent.
ما هي تقنية التظليل الصوتي؟
التظليل الصوتي (Shadowing) تقنية تعلم لغة مدعومة علمياً، طُورت أصلاً لتدريب المترجمين الفوريين المحترفين. الطريقة بسيطة لكنها قوية: تستمع لصوت إنجليزي أصلي وتكرره فوراً بصوت عالٍ — كظل يتبع المتحدث بتأخير 1-2 ثانية. تُظهر الأبحاث تحسناً كبيراً في دقة النطق والتنغيم والإيقاع وربط الأصوات والاستماع والطلاقة.
