So, for the past 20 years,

I've been helping Malaysians and other Southeast Asians to speak better English.

And through training thousands of Southeast Asians,

I've discovered a very surprising truth.

I've discovered that how well somebody communicates in English actually has very little to do with their English level.

It has a lot to do with their attitude towards English.

There are people out there who have a very,

very low level English and they can communicate very very well.

One of them that I remember was a student,

a participant of mine named Faisal.

He was a factory supervisor.

English level very very low,

but this guy could just sit and listen to anybody very calmly,

clearly, and then he could respond absolutely express his thoughts beautifully at a very low level of English.

So today I want to share with you what is so different about people like Faisal?

How do they do it?

And second of all, why is this so important not only to you but to your children,

to your community and to the future of Malaysia?

And third of all, what's one thing you can do starting today if you want to speak with that calm,

clear confidence that people like Faisal has?

So first of all, what is so different?

How do people like Faisal do it.

So to answer that question I'm going to take you back about 10 years.

Okay, so I was training staff at that time

and my daughter at that time was taking piano lessons

and I started to notice two really strong similarities between my daughter's attitude

or thinking towards playing the piano and a lot of Malaysians thinking or attitude towards English.

Now first of all I should my daughter absolutely hated piano,

hated the lessons, hated practicing.

This is my daughter practicing piano, okay?

This is as good as it got.

This is the real thing.

And she dreaded going to piano lessons because to my daughter,

going to piano lessons, she was filled with this sort of dread because it was all about not screwing up, right?

Because like for a lot of piano students,

to both my daughter and her teacher,

her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.

Now at the same time,

I noticed that a lot of Malaysians went into English conversations with the same sort of feeling of dread,

this sort of feeling that they were going to be judged by how many mistakes they were going to make,

and whether or not they were going to screw up.

Now, the second similarity that I noticed was to do with self-image.

You see, my daughter, she knew what good piano sounded like, right?

Because we've all heard good piano.

And she knew what her level was,

and she knew how long she'd have to play for to play like that.

And a lot of Malaysians,

I noticed, had this idea of what good,

proper English is supposed to sound like,

and what their English sounded like,

and how far they'd have to go to get there.

And they also felt like they were,

like my daughter, just bad.

Bad piano player, bad English speaker, right?

My English is not so good,

I cannot, sorry, I cannot.

So I could see these similarities,

but I still couldn't figure out,

okay, what is it about these people like Faizal,

that are so different, that can just do it smoothly, calmly, with confidence?

And one day I discovered that answer,

and I discovered it quite by chance.

It was a day when my computer broke down and I had to go to a cybercafe.

Now, okay, it was my first time,

and I discovered cybercafés are disgusting places, okay?

They're really gross, they're smelly,

and they're filled with boys,

and they're all playing noisy, violent games.

They're just disgusting places.

But I had to go there.

I sit down and I start noticing this guy beside me and I become very,

very interested in this guy next to me.

Now this guy is playing this game that is basically,

it's like shooting people until they die.

And that's it, right?

That's the game, right?

And I'm noticing that this guy is not very good.

He's like, in fact, terrible, right?

Because I'm looking and I'm seeing like a lot of shooting and not much dying, right?

But what really interested me was,

behind this lousy player were three of his friends sort of standing there watching him play.

And what I really noticed was,

even though this guy was terrible,

even though his friends were watching him,

there was no embarrassment, there was no feeling of being judged,

there was no shyness.

In fact, quite the opposite this guy is like totally focused on the bad guy,

smile on his face.

All he can think about is killing these guys, right?

And I'm watching him and I suddenly realized this is it.

This is the same attitude that people like Faisal have when they speak English,

just like this guy.

When Faisal goes into an English conversation, He doesn't feel judged.

He's entirely focused on the person that he's speaking to and the result he wants to get.

He's got no self-awareness, no thoughts about his own mistakes.

Now, I want to share with you a real,

true example, to paint a picture of somebody who speaks English like they're playing piano

and someone who speaks English like they're playing a computer game.

100

And this is a true story.

101

Happened to me.

102

A while ago, I was in a pharmacy.

103

I had to buy Omega.

104

My doctor said I should get Omega.

105

And I go to the shelf, there's tons of Omega.

106

There's Omega that's high in DHA,

107

Omega that's high in EPA,

108

and I don't know which one to buy.

109

Now, the sales rep happened to be there,

110

and I saw she was like this well-dressed professional woman.

111

I walk over to her,

112

and I see this look as she sees me,

113

she sees me, this sort of,

114

it's a look I recognize very well.

115

Her eyes go all wide.

116

It's sort of that panic,

117

oh my God, I've got to speak to a native speaker and she's going to judge me and notice my mistakes.

118

I go up to her and I explain my situation,

119

which omega do I get?

120

And she starts explaining to me everything about DHA and EPA you could possibly imagine.

121

She speaks very quickly, goes all around in circles.

122

and when she finishes, no idea what to buy.

123

So I turn to the girl behind the counter.

124

Now the girl behind the counter,

125

I heard her before, her English level is very low.

126

But when I walk over to her this girl

127

there's no fear in fact she's just looking at me you know

128

that look like yeah okay so how yeah I've been in Malaysia a long time

129

so I go up to her

130

and I explain the problem EPA DHA she looks at me

131

she says okay up EPA for heart DHA for brain your heart okay

132

or not I said yeah yeah I said my heart is

133

really it's I think it's pretty good she says your brain okay or not I said yeah No,

134

no, my brain is not as good as it used to be.

135

She looked, she said, O'kela, you take omega-10, Ken?

136

Problem solved, right?

137

So we've got two different kinds of communicators.

138

We've got the one who's got a high level,

139

but totally focused on herself and getting it right, and therefore very ineffective.

140

We've got another one, low level,

141

totally focused on the person she's talking to, and getting a result.

142

Effective.

143

And therein lies the difference.

144

Now, why is this distinction so important,

145

not just to you, to your children,

146

but to the future of Malaysia and countries like Malaysia?

147

And to answer that, let's take a look at who actually is speaking English in the world today.

148

Okay?

149

So, if we looked at all of the English conversations in the whole world taking place right now on planet Earth,

150

we would see that for every native speaker,

151

like me, there are five non-native speakers.

152

And if we listen to every conversation in English on planet Earth right now,

153

we would notice that 96% of those conversations involved non-native English speakers.

154

Only 4% of those conversations are native speaker to native speaker.

155

This is not my language anymore.

156

This language belongs to you.

157

It's not an art to be mastered.

158

It's just a tool to use to get a result.

159

And I want to give you a real-life example of what English is today in the world,

160

real English today.

161

This is another true story.

162

I was at a barbecue a little while ago.

163

This was a barbecue for engineers,

164

engineers from all over the world,

165

and they were making hot dogs.

166

Now, some of the hot dogs were regular hot dogs,

167

and some were these cheese hot dogs,

168

with the cheese in the middle.

169

French engineer is cooking the hot dogs,

170

and he turns to this Korean engineer and he says,

171

Would you like a hot dog?

172

And the Korean guy says, Yes, please.

173

He says, do you want the cheese?

174

And the Korean guy looks around at the table.

175

He says, I no see cheese.

176

French guy says, ah, the hot dog contains the cheese.

177

Korean guy doesn't understand him, right?

178

So the French engineer tries again.

179

The hot dog is making from, with the cheese.

180

Korean guy still doesn't understand.

181

He tries again.

182

He says, The hot dog is coming from...

183

No, the cheese is coming from the hot dog.

184

Korean guy cannot understand.

185

Now, this Japanese engineer, who's been listening to this conversation turns to the Korean engineer and he says,

186

Ah, ah, a chisa integrator.

187

He understands.

188

Everybody understands.

189

So this is what English is today.

190

It's just a tool to play around with to get a a result,

191

like a computer game.

192

Now the challenge is that we know in schools all around the world,

193

right, English is not really being taught like it's a tool to play with.

194

It's still being taught like it's an art to master.

195

And students are judged more on correctness than on clarity.

196

Some of you might remember the old comprehension exam in school.

197

Does anybody remember in school when you would get a question about a text that you read?

198

You'd have to read through some text, right?

199

And then answer a question to show that you understood the text.

200

And this may have happened to you that you showed that you understood the text,

201

but you got a big X because you made a little grammar mistake.

202

Like this student.

203

Now this student clearly understood paragraph four,

204

but no, not correct, because he left the letter N off the word environment.

205

But in the real world, what would matter?

206

In the real world, what would matter is,

207

did you understand the email,

208

or did you understand your customer,

209

so that you can go ahead and take action?

210

Now the problem that I see here,

211

over and over, is that people take the attitude they developed about English in school

212

and they bring it into their adult life and into their work.

213

And if you're in a stressful situation and you're having a conversation

214

and you're trying to give a result to someone and say it correctly,

215

your brain multitasks, it cannot do two things at once.

216

And what I see is the brain just shutting down.

217

And you may recognize these three symptoms of the brain shutting down.

218

The first one is that your listening goes.

219

Someone is talking to you and you're so busy thinking about how you're going to respond and express yourself correctly,

220

you don't actually hear what the other person said.

221

And I can see a lot of nodding in the audience.

222

The second thing to go is your speaking.

223

your mind sort of shuts down and that vocabulary you do know just disappears

224

and you the words don't come out the third thing to go is your confidence

225

and the worst thing about this is you may only be confident

226

because you cannot express yourself clearly

227

but to the person talking to you they may misunderstand this

228

as a lack of confidence in your ability to do the job to perform.

229

So if you want to speak English like Faisal with that great confidence,

230

here's the one thing that you can do.

231

When you speak, don't focus on yourself.

232

Focus on the other person and the result you want to achieve.

233

Imagine a next generation of Malaysians all with that wonderful confidence in communication that Faisal has at any level of English.

234

Because let's remember that English today,

235

it's not an art to be mastered.

236

It's just a tool to use to get a result.

237

And that tool belongs to you.

238

Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
