Hello everyone and welcome back to another video here on the English Sponge YouTube channel.
2
Today we're going to be answering your questions.
3
Me and Sam are going to sit here and we're going to answer some of the questions that you have sent us.
4
About a week ago I left a post here on the YouTube channel asking you guys for any questions
5
that you wanted to ask us and so in In this video, we're going to answer some of those questions.
6
And so let's begin, Sam, maybe you can give us the first question that our audience has left us today.
7
Mohamed from Morocco has asked, first of all, I would like to thank all of you for the amazing and useful videos that you've made for us.
8
You're very welcome, Mohamed.
9
I've reached the B2 level and I can understand 90 % of what you say, and sometimes I do shadowing practice.
10
The thing is, I feel like it's hard to speak.
11
What is your advice?
12
Yeah, so it's a good question.
13
First of all, you said that you are watching our B2 level videos and you can understand 90 % of them, which is obviously a very good place to be.
14
considering that you are already in a position where you can understand a lot that means
15
that you have already acquired quite a lot of vocabulary this is a very good place to be
16
so now you're at the stage you've done really in my
17
opinion you've done the most difficult part really you've done the part
18
which takes the most amount of time and
19
that is getting to like a b2 level acquiring lots of vocabulary
20
and now you can even understand our b2 videos now you want to speak okay well yes of course
21
if you want to learn to speak you do need to
22
put in a lot of hours into speaking the first step
23
of course is to acquire the vocabulary by listening to comprehensible input
24
but of course once you've done
25
that obviously you then need to speak let's see what happens
26
muhammad after you get a hundred hours of speaking practice let's
27
see how much your speaking practice has improved then i do
28
have a video on this channel called how to speak english
29
which can sort of show you the more practical ways that you can actually improve your speaking practice
30
muhammad at the end of the day the most important thing to do is really obvious
31
and very boring it's that you need to speak a lot okay
32
if you've already acquired lots of vocabulary by listening there comes a time
33
when you need to start speaking so go ahead
34
and try to get a hundred hours of speaking practice
35
and i promise your speaking will be a lot better
36
because you already have a lot of vocabulary a lot of english in your head already okay
37
so after a hundred hours of speaking practice you're going to be speaking probably quite well after 100 hours
38
so that's my answer sam that's my answer yeah uh just to add a little bit onto
39
that james um speaking is like any other difficult skill the
40
more hours you have doing it the more comfortable you will become You also need to think about high -value speaking practice.
41
One -on -one conversations are very high -value speaking practice.
42
In -person conversations are extremely high -value speaking practice.
43
When you are first learning how to speak, small two - to three -minute conversations with people you meet.
44
Maybe they're tourists in your city, maybe you're traveling and you speak to a cashier.
45
Those short two to three minute conversations are really important for building your confidence and making you comfortable using English to communicate.
46
That's true.
47
Obviously, if you are not in an English -speaking country, there are other good options.
48
They're all outlined in my video, how to speak English.
49
If you want to learn to speak English, but you're not in an English -speaking country.
50
There's really no excuses, I'm afraid.
51
You can still learn to speak English if you're in a country where people don't speak English.
52
So, let's move on to the next question now.
53
So, this question is for Sam.
54
This is Gabriel from Panama, I believe.
55
He says, Hello from Panama.
56
How can I improve my speaking and thinking in English.
57
I know English and I can read, write and speak it but I don't feel confident about my English because I don't have anyone to talk to in English.
58
Same problem.
59
I feel like I can't have a proper conversation because no one in my house speaks English, so I don't really have anyone to practice with.
60
Taking an English course is also quite expensive for me, so I was wondering if you have any advice on how I can improve my speaking
61
and start thinking more naturally in English.
62
Sam.
63
yes
64
so on the thinking point uh similar to you james i
65
made a video uh about translation a couple of weeks ago
66
so details of how to stop translating
67
and how to start thinking in english can be found in
68
that video i laid out a really nice plan
69
but it's mainly about starting simple um just naming objects around you in English without resorting to your translation first.
70
I think lots of people, when it comes to thinking in English,
71
they forget that the more time you spend with the language, the easier it's going to become.
72
The worry that people have is that right now I'm struggling to think in English.
73
Right now is really, really difficult.
74
You almost just have to trust the process slightly more an
75
extra 200 300 hours of comprehensible input might take you nine
76
months to a year maybe even longer to get it but after
77
that year has passed you will likely be much better at
78
thinking in english it's a skill like all of the other ones
79
now on speaking to people in English
80
when you don't have options there are some good things you can do the first one
81
that I am thinking about is sort of language exchange events
82
cities often run free free events where you can go to
83
speak to people in different languages yeah then things like video games online forums anything
84
that you're interested in there'll probably be a English speaking subreddit there.
85
And that's when you can make some English speaking friends, etc, etc. Yeah, in terms of thinking in English, I find this a bit of an odd question.
86
Lots of people say they have a problem with thinking in English.
87
But personally, I've never had a problem with this learning Spanish.
88
I started thinking in Spanish quite naturally, to be honest.
89
And I think it's probably because of the method
90
that I use to learn spanish which was comprehensible input i simply listened to such a huge number of hours
91
of input in spanish that it just really got deep inside my head
92
and i would find myself just sort of thinking about things
93
and sometimes talking to myself like in the kitchen in spanish
94
and i think that that if you're struggling to think in english it could be
95
because you are translating from your native language to English perhaps
96
or you just haven't had that that huge amount of input
97
that you need to just sort of really just get deep
98
in your head you know that's what I would say um
99
yeah let's move on to the next question then let's hear it
100
so the next question is from Madeleine and she is from Buenos Aires Argentina thanks for watching the videos uh she
101
She said,
102
which methods to try i don't have anyone to speak english
103
with 24 7 to train my ear how can you gain
104
the confidence to speak english without making a fool it's funny we obviously keep hearing the same kind of issues
105
that people are having in terms of speaking english there are to go to go back to the fundamentals okay
106
if you want to speak english there are two steps that you need to follow.
107
The first step is you need to acquire the vocabulary that you need to speak with, okay?
108
I'm just going to give you an example here, okay?
109
Sam, speak Japanese for me.
110
Go ahead.
111
Konnichiwa.
112
That's it, unfortunately.
113
That's it.
114
So what is stopping Sam from talking more than than he did.
115
Well Sam, it's because Sam doesn't know any words in japanese right you can't speak in a language
116
if you don't have any vocabulary to use right
117
so the first step to speaking is to acquire the vocabulary
118
that you need to speak with the second step is to actually practice moving your lips
119
and your tongue on your mouth to actually create the words
120
and to speak the first step is a long process the second step is not as long okay
121
but those are the two steps
122
that you need to go through to speak english in terms
123
of confidence um first of all as you're generally speaking as
124
your english level increases you will become more confident yes
125
if you're an a2 beginner it's quite normal to not be very confident in english right
126
but if you get to a level where you become a c1 advanced speaker of english you know
127
and you you're obviously going be more confident because you just know deeply
128
that like you know english well the second the second point is you have to understand
129
that people are not really judging your english like
130
when you come out
131
and speak um native speakers we are not there like criticizing any grammar mistakes you make
132
and like making fun of your pronunciation mistakes it's like people
133
don't care as much as you think they do most people
134
out in the world they really just care about sort of receiving the message you're trying to give them
135
and once they get the message
136
that that's good enough for them it's like most people are
137
not judging you like you like maybe you think they are
138
so you should really relax try to relax a little bit
139
and just speak english
140
when you assuming you've already done a lot of listening you
141
should just confidently speak english there There's no reason to really be shy
142
or scared of speaking English because people are not judging you that bad.
143
Sam, do you have anything to add to that?
144
Yeah, it's quite simple what I'm going to add.
145
If you want to get good at doing something difficult, you need to make yourself uncomfortable sometimes.
146
If you want to gain confidence doing a skill that is very challenging and it can be quite embarrassing,
147
quite awkward when you're sort of not super confident in yourself.
148
You just have to make yourself uncomfortable.
149
The more uncomfortable situations you put yourself in, the easier it will be.
150
Soon, those really sort of difficult, worrying, short conversations will be very natural and very easy.
151
The more uncomfortable you make yourself using the language the more confident you're going to be
152
because the more experienced you are going to be yeah i
153
think after you've been through a few uncomfortable situations you will quickly realize
154
that there was no need to feel uncomfortable in the first
155
place honestly you'll be like why did i why was i
156
so scared to speak that was
157
so silly you know that's probably how you will feel afterwards
158
um good question let's move on to the next question okay
159
next question for sam we have a question from um i don't know how to pronounce this username
160
but it's atais dorati that is a random guess
161
and it's probably wrong it says hi guys i've watched all the videos for my level
162
but i'm still far from reaching the required hours should i
163
re -watch should i re -watch the same videos until i hit the goal
164
or can i move on to the next level kisses from Brazil.
165
Sam.
166
Yeah, this is the exact problem I have had with Chinese.
167
There is simply just not enough content there yet to meet the hour requirement.
168
What I would suggest is if you enjoy a video, you can watch it again.
169
If you don't enjoy a video, don't force yourself through it just because it's more hours.
170
We are not the only people who make comprehensible input.
171
There are lots of other really good comprehensible input creators on YouTube,
172
and I'm sure you'll be able to find other people who make really enjoyable English learning content as well.
173
Obviously, we have a lot of videos now.
174
We have a really good platform.
175
But if you want to learn this language through this method,
176
you do need to get input from multiple sources because there will be things that we miss.
177
There will be certain words that you just don't pick up from us, which is why it's really good to try and get a big range of sources,
178
huge range of accents, age categories is listen to men, listen to women.
179
Try to listen to as much English from as many places.
180
as possible yeah that's right so we have about 870 videos
181
so far in the future we are planning to hit videos in the thousands okay we are hoping
182
that eventually with english sponge you will just have enough comprehensible input in one place
183
that you can use we hope to have more than 2 000 videos in the future
184
but it's true that we are still growing
185
so there is probably not enough content only with us
186
but we will keep trying to increase the number of videos
187
that we have for you guys
188
so moving away from language learning questions to some of the more personal questions
189
that you guys asked us the first one is hi I have a question for teacher James
190
or teacher Sam what are your specifically what are your favorite specifically british snacks i love the biscuit uh shortbread fingers
191
and i love tyrell's flavor of crisps sea salt and cider vinegar excellent crisps great choice
192
thank you so james what is your your favorite british snack this is this is the hardest question so far.
193
I mean, I'm gonna have to go with certain types of biscuits, okay?
194
Like, probably my favorite British style biscuit.
195
Like, I'm a big fan of custard creams.
196
Custard creams are all very good.
197
And probably bourbons.
198
And I'm choosing those two because those are like classic British biscuits.
199
So I'm gonna go with the custard creams and bourbons.
200
That's my answer.
201
And Dunkin' tea.
202
Respectable.
203
Yeah, very respectable.
204
I was considering a custard cream as my choice.
205
But I think it's shortbread.
206
Like Scottish Highland shortbread.
207
It's just delicious.
208
It's a really buttery biscuit.
209
It is beautiful.
210
Yeah, there you go.
211
James and Sam look like they have great chemistry on the British Culture podcast.
212
Okay.
213
I was wondering if you guys knew each other before you started English Sponge.
214
No, the answer is no. I didn't meet Sam before we started English Sponge.
215
But very early on in the early days of English Sponge, Sam offers to join and contribute to the project.
216
That is not actually when we met, James.
217
You've missed a part of the story.
218
Okay.
219
If you guys look through some of my old videos, on the English Sponge website,
220
you will see that I used to be part of a different English Comprehensible Input channel.
221
And once, a very long time ago,
222
James contacted us, and he asked us if he could host our videos on the English Sponge website,
223
which we said yes.
224
We spoke a little bit through emails, and we organized a collaboration together.
225
So we actually met through doing a collaboration, which you can still find on the English Bunch website.
226
After that, a few months passed and I decided to leave the channel I was working on before, spoke to James, and the rest is history.
227
Yes, and actually the very first time that me and Sam met face -to -face was on our Reading, the video in the city in reading with sam walking around
228
uh during like near christmas time uh yeah that's the first time um
229
but yeah the first time we met we created our first
230
viral video yeah that's right that's right it's pretty good going
231
actually uh okay love summer 0702 has asked have you ever run into one of your subscribers
232
while you were out and about And they recognised you first.
233
Yes.
234
That has happened three times now.
235
In fact, three times people have actually recognised me in real life.
236
The first time I was at a language exchange event, and there was a guy attending from Japan, and he sort of said, hey, I recognise you, I've seen your videos.
237
That was the first time anybody recognised me in public
238
that was a very strange experience the second time was recently
239
i was out in birmingham i was walking through the shopping center carrying my camera
240
and i was walking through
241
and i just heard from behind me english sponge english sponge like
242
that and uh and a girl ran up to me
243
and said she had watched our videos um the third the
244
third uh she was from algeria i believe um the third one was Did she take a photo with you, James?
245
No, she didn't take a photo with me.
246
She didn't ask.
247
You're not famous enough, yeah.
248
She didn't ask for my autograph.
249
But yeah, she did run over.
250
And if you're watching, you may be watching.
251
Hello.
252
I hope you enjoyed the video in Birmingham, where you're living.
253
The third occasion was in London two days ago.
254
I was actually out at a pub.
255
And a Spanish, no, sorry, an Italian guy came over and said,
256
he's he's watched our videos and he recognizes me so yes three times that's happened so far
257

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
