Do you ever feel like you understand everything in English?

You can watch movies, you understand podcasts,

and you can read books.

But when you want to speak, you freeze.

That is one of the most common problems English learners have.

Let me tell you why this happens and how to fix it.

Understanding the problem.

There are two things that you need to know.

Input, output.

Now what is input?

Input is whatever goes in.

Whatever you put in is input.

Such as listening and reading.

Because when you listen to something, you're putting information in.

That's input.

Or when you're reading something,

you are reading the information and you're putting that in.

This is input.

You're receiving.

But we also have output.

It is what you put out,

what comes out of you.

That is speaking or writing.

That is when you produce information.

Now the biggest problem is students have good input,

very strong input, but their output is weak.

Why does this happen?

Think about it.

How do you learn English?

You read books, you're watching movies,

you watch YouTube videos, or you listen to podcasts.

of these are different forms of input so it makes sense

that your input is great but your output is weak it makes sense

that you understand english but you cannot speak

so what's the solution the solution is to improve your output

that means you need to work on your writing and speaking skills

and that's what we're going to do right now let's start with the first one writing skills

four ways to improve your writing skill let's start easy i

want you to share your thoughts what does it mean right now you're watching this video on youtube

so i want you to share your thoughts go to the comments section

and start typing what do you think about this video do

you like the teacher do you like what you're seeing do

you like this lesson what would you like to see next

what do you want to see more of share your thoughts

for example i love this video best video ever i learned why i cannot speak

or write because i have never practiced i am going to practice more

thank you for the video this is a very simple

but very effective writing practice do this for every single video

you watch online you're watching a video on youtube go to the comments section

and share your thoughts what do you think about

that video share your thoughts

that was a very easy activity basically that's a warm-up now what's next let's make it more challenging i want you

to make a daily journal.

Every day I want you to write down five to ten sentences about that day.

What did you do?

How did you feel?

What are you going to do tomorrow?

What happened to you yesterday?

Write five to ten sentences every single day about that day.

And listen, you don't have to worry about grammar.

It doesn't matter if your grammar is right or wrong.

At this stage, We don't care about grammar.

Our only focus is on getting your output to work.

So start writing 5 to 10 sentences every day about that day.

Today, I watched a YouTube video.

I realized my problem isn't grammar.

It's writing and speaking.

so I am going to write in my journal every day.

This doesn't take much time but you have to do it every day.

Try to make this a habit.

I know it's difficult.

It will only take probably five to ten minutes of your day.

Please do it.

It's going to help you a lot.

Okay so far we started easy.

As a warm up, you're going to share your thoughts in the comment section

and then you're going to write five to ten sentences every day about

that day now this third activity i want you to do may be a bit more challenging

but it's very good i want you to choose a very simple topic very simple topic

and then write one paragraph about it the topic should be simple for example

what makes me happy or what was the best advice i ever got

or my biggest dream or my dream house

or my perfect holiday for each topic you're going to write at least 100 words one paragraph is enough

but listen the important thing about this activity is

that now grammar is important your grammar

and your structure they matter how can you check your grammar

after you have written the 100 word paragraph i want you to go to chat gpt

or any other ai model gemini or whatever you have

and use this prompt pasted in chat gpt to get feedback

here's the prompt i am trying to improve my writing skill find my grammar

and vocabulary mistakes explain why they are wrong

and show me the corrected version

and then paste your writing in this way you're not only

writing one paragraph about a simple topic you are also correcting your paragraph using chat gpt

or any other ai model and you're getting feedback on what you've written

so your mind starts thinking about accuracy

and structure okay now you have practiced writing one paragraph let's

go to the final level at this level i want you

to write a full essay about a topic start with familiar topics

100

and as you get better get to more complicated topics now

101

here you're not going to write one paragraph you're going to write at least three to four paragraphs about

102

that subject the topics can be more challenging for example is technology improving education this forces you to think

103

and to produce more and more and more content.

104

It's not just about sharing your thoughts anymore.

105

It's about structuring that text.

106

It's not just one paragraph.

107

It's about three to four paragraphs.

108

And again, at this stage,

109

grammar and structure, they are very important.

110

So again, I want you to use the prompt I gave you

111

and ask ChatGPT or any other AI models to give you feedback.

112

And if you don't like ChatGPT,

113

we have built something fascinating for you.

114

When you join the POC English Academy,

115

you will have access to our latest AI tools.

116

You can practice your writing.

117

When you write for our AI model,

118

it will start processing your answer.

119

It will show you your mistakes,

120

how to correct them, why you made those mistakes and what was wrong with those sentences,

121

and it also analyzes your overall text and gives you four scores of grammar,

122

vocabulary, coherence and cohesion, and one overall score.

123

This is very helpful.

124

I highly recommend joining the POC English Academy by clicking on the link above this video.

125

Go ahead, check it out.

126

And now, the writing part is over.

127

What should we do for our speaking skill?

128

Six ways to improve your speaking skill.

129

Again, let's start easy.

130

The first thing I want you to do is a very basic exercise.

131

I want you to open a book and start reading loudly.

132

You're going to read the book aloud.

133

Now you might say this is reading,

134

this is not speaking, but let me tell you one thing.

135

This is improving your speaking muscle.

136

Yes, speaking is a muscle.

137

And you can train it to have muscle memory.

138

Think of it as a warm-up.

139

You're warming up your speaking muscles.

140

This is a very important activity.

141

Don't underestimate it.

142

Open a book.

143

Start reading loudly.

144

One of the best ways to improve your English is to join the POC English Academy.

145

You will have access to four complete courses,

146

AI tools to practice speaking and writing,

147

a student community to make friends and find study partners,

148

and daily live lessons on Zoom every day.

149

Wow!

150

See that was very easy, but it's highly effective.

151

I want you to do it.

152

Now let's go to the second task.

153

I want you to do the same thing I want you to open a book

154

and start reading loudly

155

but this time I want you to stand up walk around the room as you are doing it

156

and imagine that you are presenting this information to an audience

157

but how does this help again you are improving your speaking muscles you're trying to train muscle memory

158

but But at the same time,

159

you're doing a trick in your mind.

160

What's the trick?

161

You are turning a reading activity,

162

which basically is input, into an output activity.

163

You are training your mind to not only read,

164

but also try to deliver.

165

You have an imaginary audience,

166

you're reading this aloud, but you are trying to read this to them.

167

That's the trick are working on the muscle memory here

168

and you're also imagining delivering information to others

169

that is the first step of improving your spoken output okay

170

enough with the easy steps what's the third step the third

171

step is the shadowing technique it's very simple very effective

172

and very fun to do in the shadowing technique you're going to choose one person that you really like

173

a native speaker with a great accent.

174

Now the accent can be American,

175

it can be British, Australian, whatever you like.

176

Choose one person with a very clear accent

177

and then find a video on YouTube of that person and this is what you're going to do with that video.

178

You're going to play the video,

179

listen carefully, pause after every sentence and repeat.

180

Play, listen, pause, repeat play listen pause repeat play listen pause repeat that's what you're going to do let me demonstrate

181

one of the people

182

that i really like in terms of their english is barack

183

obama the way barack obama speaks i i don't think i've ever heard anyone as clear as him

184

so i've selected one of his videos

185

and i'm going to play it listen carefully pause and repeat this is what i want to do let's go

186

I wanted to be a basketball player.

187

I wanted to be a basketball player.

188

You know, architect.

189

An architect.

190

There were a bunch of different things.

191

Politician.

192

There were a bunch of different things.

193

Politician was not on the list.

194

Politician was not on the list.

195

The way I came into it.

196

The way I came into it.

197

I was inspired by social movements.

198

I was inspired by social movements.

199

Do this every day.

200

It's a simple activity.

201

You don't have to do a lot.

202

You don't have to talk to other people.

203

If you are shy, don't worry.

204

Just play the video on your laptop,

205

on your phone, and then listen and repeat.

206

That's called the shadowing technique.

207

Now, step four.

208

This is something I used to do as a child,

209

and this is something

210

that i would probably say helped me the most talk to yourself now this is a gem

211

because as an introvert as a person who is very shy

212

i could not easily speak with other people i was mainly

213

at home in my bedroom how could i improve my fluency

214

how could i improve my speaking skill i couldn't the only

215

way for me to improve my fluency was to sit down

216

and talk to myself imagine this situation and imagine

217

that i am talking to an audience

218

or i'm talking to a good friend of mine or a teacher

219

or a coach

220

or to my imaginary girlfriend back then you know i think the reason why people are struggling nowadays is

221

because the economy is bad it's harder for people to make

222

money what do you think mm-hmm totally agree with you yes

223

yeah i think you're completely right totally agree with you man you're the best yeah

224

so just imagine a situation and start speaking with yourself

225

and don't worry if people think you're crazy i had a teacher who used to say

226

if you want to improve your speaking skill you need to be a little crazy

227

and that's absolutely right you need to be you will look into the mirror talk to yourself in the mirror

228

or just sit down Talk to her.

229

Imagine that you have a bunch of friends around, talk to them.

230

Now we are in 2025,

231

almost 2026 now, and we have AI, so use it.

232

Another activity that you can do right now,

233

even if you are shy,

234

even if you think your level is not good,

235

even if you don't have the self-confidence to start speaking immediately,

236

is to practice speaking with AI.

237

Speaking with AI.

238

I mean, writing to AI is fun,

239

it's good, But I prefer speaking because you're trying to improve that muscle memory, remember?

240

You're trying to work on your spoken output.

241

So don't just type, try to speak.

242

And yes, I understand a lot of the AI models,

243

if you want to access the speaking feature,

244

you need to pay for a premium account.

245

But I think if you use Microsoft Co-Pilot or probably now even ChatGPT,

246

you get like, I don't know,

247

five to ten minutes per day of free speaking access.

248

It's very simple.

249

You just open ChatGPT and click on the voice mode.

250

Wait.

251

And then start talking.

252

Hi, I'm a student.

253

I want to improve my English speaking skill.

254

Can you help me?

255

Absolutely.

256

I'd be happy to help you out.

257

We can just have a chat

258

and you can practice speaking with me feel free to talk about anything you're interested in

259

and i'll give you some feedback

260

or tips along the way uh let's just start easy um ask me a question sure let's keep it nice

261

and easy how about this can you tell me about a hobby you really enjoy

262

and why you like it uh yes i like tennis

263

because i think tennis is a very fun sport that's awesome tennis is definitely a fun and and dynamic support.

264

See, that is enough.

265

I think I proved my point.

266

You can use an AI model to practice speaking.

267

It's very good.

268

But if you wanna do it, you need to pay.

269

Also, again, if you join POC English Academy,

270

we have built an AI speaking teacher for you.

271

You can use this AI tool to work on your speaking skill.

272

This AI tool will ask you questions.

273

You will have to answer.

274

It analyzes your answers, and it will give you feedback on your grammar,

275

vocabulary, coherence, and cohesion, and an overall score.

278

279

280

281

This is very important, and I think it's fair to say that this is the ultimate goal of learning a language.

282

Why do you study English?

283

Because ultimately, you want to be able to communicate with other people, right?

284

Yes, you can learn English to write better or to,

285

I don't know, understand movies and TV series.

286

But if you're watching this video,

287

that means your understanding is okay.

288

You just want to speak.

289

And why do you want to speak?

290

Because you want to be able to talk to other people, right?

291

So this is exactly what I want you to do.

292

I want you to talk to other people.

293

Yeah, it's going to be hard you're going to have to find someone who is also studying English.

294

You're going to have to find a group of people who are also at the same level

295

or a similar level to you and are working on improving their English.

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.
