Shadowing Practice: 8 Things You Must Improve Before 2027 | English Speech | Jack Ma Motivation - Learn English Speaking with Video
Creando lección...
1
Hello everyone.
2
Let me ask you something personal, not a difficult question, just an honest one.
3
When you look at your life right now, your habits, your skills, your daily routine, are you happy with the direction you are moving in?
4
If nothing changed over the next year, would you be excited about where you might end up?
5
I know life is busy.
6
There is work to do, bills to pay, messages to answer, and responsibilities waiting every day.
7
Not because you are lazy, but because you keep waiting for the perfect moment to begin.
8
You tell yourselves, I will start when I have more time.
9
I will start next month.
10
I will start when life becomes less stressful.
11
But that moment never arrives.
12
One thing I have noticed over the years is that people who successfully change their lives rarely begin with something dramatic.
13
They do not wait for a new year.
14
They do not wait for a new job.
15
They do not wait until they feel completely ready.
16
Instead, they begin with one small action, a simple habit, a tiny decision that looks almost unimportant at first.
17
Think about someone who wants to get healthier.
18
They do not become fit in one week.
19
It starts with one walk, one workout, one healthier meal.
20
Think about someone who wants to learn English.
21
They do not become fluent overnight.
22
It begins with 10 minutes of practice, one conversation, one page, one lesson.
23
All actions may look insignificant in the moment,
24
but repeated long enough, they completely changed the direction of a person's life.
25
By the end of this episode,
26
I want you to walk away with eight clear areas of your life that you can begin improving today.
27
These are not ideas only for students, business people, or highly successful people.
28
They are for anyone who wants to become a better version of themselves.
29
Anyone who wants to look back one day and say, that was the moment I finally started taking my life seriously.
30
And the first area connects to every other area we will discuss.
31
It is discipline.
32
Now, I want to be very clear about what discipline actually means because many people misunderstand it.
33
When they hear the word discipline, they imagine strict rules, punishment, pressure, or forcing themselves to suffer.
34
But real discipline is much simpler than that.
35
Discipline is doing what you decide to do, even when you do not feel like doing it.
36
And honestly, this may be one of the most important skills a person can develop.
37
Here is why.
38
We all know the cycle.
39
You set a goal and feel excited.
40
Maybe you decide to exercise.
41
Maybe you decide to learn English.
42
Maybe you decide to read more books.
43
For a few days, everything feels easy.
44
You are motivated.
45
You are focused.
46
You feel like this time will be different.
47
Then real life arrives.
48
You get busy.
49
You feel tired.
50
Something unexpected happens.
51
suddenly the excitement disappears.
52
And that is where most goals die.
53
The problem is that motivation behaves like the weather.
54
Some days it is strong.
55
Some days it disappears completely.
56
If your progress depends on feeling motivated, your progress will always be unpredictable.
57
But discipline works differently.
58
Discipline is not an emotion emotion.
59
It is a decision.
60
And decisions can continue even when motivation is gone.
61
Think about brushing your teeth.
62
Most people do not wake up feeling excited about brushing their teeth.
63
They do not stand in front of the mirror thinking, I can't wait to do this.
64
They simply do it, it has become part of who they are, part of their daily routine.
65
That is what discipline looks like at its highest level.
66
And once something becomes automatic, change becomes much easier.
67
That is why discipline is the foundation of almost every success story you will ever hear.
68
Long before people achieve extraordinary results, they learn how to keep small promises to themselves.
69
One day at a time.
70
One decision at a time.
71
One habit at a time.
72
One of the most powerful ways to build discipline is through something called a fixed routine.
73
A fixed routine simply means doing the same important things at the same time every day.
74
You wake up at the same time.
75
You start working at the same time.
76
You study at the same time.
77
You go to bed at the same time.
78
It sounds simple, but the effect on your brain is surprisingly powerful.
79
Most people think discipline is about having strong willpower.
80
But in reality, discipline is often about removing decisions.
81
Every time you ask yourself, should I study now or later?
82
Or do I feel like practicing today?
83
Your brain starts a negotiation.
84
And the more often you negotiate with yourself, the easier it becomes to choose comfort instead of action.
85
This is why routines matter.
86
When something becomes part of your daily schedule, your brain stops treating it like a decision.
87
It becomes something you simply do.
88
Think about brushing your teeth.
89
Most people do not stand in front of the mirror every night asking themselves
90
if they feel motivated enough to brush their teeth.
91
They just do it because it is part of their routine.
92
Scientists have discovered that every decision uses mental energy.
93
Throughout the day, that energy slowly decreases.
94
This is one reason why people often make worse decisions in the evening than they do in the morning.
95
By creating a fixed routine, you protect your energy.
96
Instead of wasting it on deciding whether to practice, you can use it to focus on learning and improving.
97
Imagine two students who both want to improve their English.
98
The first student studies only when he feels motivated.
99
Some days he studies for three hours.
100
Other days he studies for 20 minutes.
101
Sometimes he skips an entire week.
102
His effort feels exciting, but it is unpredictable.
103
The second student studies for one hour every day at 7 o'clock in the evening.
104
She studies whether she feels motivated or not.
105
She studies when she is excited.
106
She studies when she is tired.
107
She studies when she has had a good day and when she has had a difficult day.
108
Now imagine six months passing.
109
The first student has spent a lot of time thinking about studying.
110
The second student has spent a lot of time actually studying.
111
One has depended on motivation.
112
The other has depended on routine.
113
After six months, the second student has completed more than 180 hours of practice.
114
The first student may have completed only 60 or 70.
115
Same goal, different results.
116
And the difference was not talent.
117
It was not intelligence.
118
It was not luck.
119
It was the quiet decision to show up every day, even when no one was watching.
120
Discipline also means learning to say no to things that feel good now but cost you later.
121
Every evening presents small choices, one more hour of scrolling, one more episode of a show,
122
one more excuse to start tomorrow.
123
These choices seem small at the moment, but they slowly build your future.
124
One day, you will look back at the choices you made.
125
You will either feel proud that you invested in yourself or you will wish you had started sooner.
126
Discipline is not about punishment.
127
Discipline is protection.
128
It protects the future version of you from regret.
129
Say this out loud with me.
130
I do not need to feel ready.
131
I just need to begin.
132
Now let's talk about communication because this is where many people get stuck for years without realizing it.
133
Communication is not about speaking perfectly.
134
It is not about using difficult vocabulary.
135
It is not about sounding intelligent.
136
Communication is about one thing and one thing only being understood
137
if another person understands what you mean communication has already happened
138
everything else is simply improvement many people spend years studying english
139
but still feel afraid to speak why because they confuse preparation with performance they keep preparing they learn more vocabulary,
140
they watch more videos, they study more grammar, they wait for the day when they finally feel ready.
141
But that day rarely comes.
142
Imagine someone asks you a simple question during a meeting, a class, or a conversation.
143
You know the answer.
144
You know exactly what you you want to say, but before you speak, another voice appears inside your head.
145
Is my grammar correct?
146
What if people judge me?
147
While you are busy checking all of these things, someone else speaks first.
148
The conversation moves on.
149
The opportunity disappears.
150
Every confident speaker you admire once sounded awkward.
151
Every fluent speaker once made simple mistakes.
152
The difference is that they kept speaking long enough for those mistakes to become lessons.
153
So stop waiting for the perfect moment.
154
Stop waiting to feel ready.
155
Start speaking with the English you already have.
156
Because communication is not a reward you receive after becoming perfect.
157
Communication is the process that helps you become better.
158
There are three specific things that can immediately improve the way you communicate with other people.
159
The first is clarity.
160
Clarity means organizing your thoughts before you speak.
161
Many people start talking before they know what they really want to say.
162
As a result, they speak for a long time but still fail to communicate their message clearly.
163
A simple technique is this.
164
Before you answer a question, take one breath and think of one main point you want to make.
165
Just one.
166
Then say it.
167
You can always add details afterward.
168
Clear and simple communication is usually far more powerful than complicated communication.
169
People remember simple ideas.
170
They often forget complicated ones.
171
The second thing is listening.
172
Real communication is not just about speaking.
173
It is about understanding the other person first.
174
Think about the people you enjoy talking to the most.
175
Usually, they are not the people who talk the most.
176
They are the people who make you feel heard.
177
When you listen carefully, you respond better.
178
You ask better questions.
179
You build stronger relationships.
180
and most importantly, people feel respected.
181
Listening is one of the fastest ways to improve communication because it immediately changes how people experience conversations with you.
182
The third thing is your body.
183
Your posture, your eye contact, and your facial expressions communicate even when your words stop.
184
Imagine two people saying exactly the same sentence.
185
One person is looking at the floor, crossing their arms, and avoiding eye contact.
186
The other person is standing comfortably, making gentle eye contact, and smiling naturally.
187
The words may be identical, but the message feels completely different.
188
People often respond more to how you say something than to the exact words you use.
189
And the reason communication matters so much is simple.
190
It affects every area of your life.
191
Imagine buying the most expensive car in the world.
192
You never change the oil.
193
You never maintain the engine.
194
You fill it with poor quality fuel every day.
195
it would not matter how beautiful that car looked.
196
Eventually, it would stop working properly.
197
Your body's exactly the same.
198
Many people spend years trying to improve their careers,
199
relationships, and finances while ignoring the machine that makes all those things possible.
200
If the machine is not working well, everything becomes harder.
201
You can have brilliant ideas, But if you are exhausted, stressed, and running on very little sleep,
202
those ideas rarely become reality.
203
Health has four pillars.
204
Think of them as the four supports holding up your entire life.
205
The first pillar is movement.
206
You do not need a gym membership.
207
You do not need expensive equipment.
208
You simply need to move your body regularly.
209
Something as simple as a 30-minute walk can create remarkable changes.
210
When you walk, your heart pumps more blood.
211
Your brain receives more oxygen.
212
Your body releases chemicals called endorphins that help improve your mood.
213
This is why people who exercise consistently often feel happier, think more clearly, and handle stress better.
214
It is not magic.
215
It is biology.
216
Even a short walk after dinner can improve both your physical health and your mental state over time.
217
The second pillar is food.
218
One helpful way to think about food is this.
219
Food is information.
220
Every meal sends a message to your body.
221
Some foods help your body function efficiently.
222
Other foods make your body work harder.
223
This does not mean you need a perfect diet.
224
Almost nobody has a perfect diet.
225
It simply means paying attention to balance.
226
More vegetables, more water, more whole foods, less highly processed food.
227
Small improvements repeated consistently often create bigger results than extreme diets that only last a few weeks.
228
Over time, these small choices give you more energy, better concentration, and a stronger immune system.
229
The third pillar is sleep.
230
This pillar is often ignored because it feels passive.
231
It feels like you are doing nothing, but sleep is one of the most productive things your body does.
232
While you sleep, your brain organizes memories,
233
repairs damage, strengthens learning, and regulates emotions.
234
Think about a day when you only slept four or five hours.
235
problems felt bigger.
236
You became impatient more quickly.
237
It was harder to focus.
238
Even simple decisions required more effort.
239
That is not because you suddenly became less capable.
240
It is because your brain was working with fewer resources.
241
Research consistently shows that people who sleep less than seven hours tend to make poorer decisions,
242
experience more stress and learn more slowly.
243
If you are trying to improve your English, your career, your business, or your relationships while sleeping only a few hours each night,
244
you are making success much harder than it needs to be.
245
Sleep is not laziness.
246
Sleep is preparation.
247
The fourth pillar is mental health and this pillar is often the most invisible.
248
You cannot always see stress.
249
You cannot always see anxiety.
250
But they influence almost everything.
251
Your confidence, your energy, your focus, your decisions, your relationships.
252
The challenge is that mental health problems usually grow quietly.
253
They build over time.
254
That is why small daily habits matter so much.
255
Spending time outdoors, talking to someone you trust, taking breaks from negative news, practicing slow breathing for a few minutes.
256
These habits may seem small, but small actions repeated consistently often create the biggest changes.
257
Taking care of your mind is not a luxury, it is maintenance, just like brushing your teeth or exercising your body.
258
Now, that brings us to another area that affects almost every adult's life, money.
259
The fourth area is financial knowledge, which means understanding how money actually works.
260
And I want to say something directly here, working hard is not enough.
261
Many people work extremely hard for decades and still feel financially stressed, Not because they are lazy,
262
not because they are irresponsible, but because nobody ever taught them how money moves.
263
Earning money and managing money are two completely different skills.
264
You can be excellent at one and terrible at the other.
265
Think about two people earning exactly the same salary.
266
One feels calm, organized, and in control.
267
The other feels stressed every month and constantly worries about money.
268
The difference is often not income.
269
The difference is financial habits.
270
Understanding money does not require becoming a financial expert.
271
It starts with simple things.
272
Knowing where your money goes, spending less than you earn, saving consistently, avoiding unnecessary debt.
273
The first and most important habit is saving.
274
Saving means keeping a portion of what you earn instead of spending everything.
275
Many people say, I can't save because I don't earn enough.
276
But saving is usually not about income.
277
It is about priority.
278
It is about making a decision that a small part of every paycheck belongs to your future, not to today's spending.
279
Even saving 5% of your income can change your life over time.
280
More importantly, it changes your identity.
281
You stop being someone who spends everything and start becoming someone who prepares for the future.
282
After a year or two, that habit becomes a safety net.
283
Imagine two people facing the same unexpected medical bill.
284
One has no savings and immediately feels panic.
285
The other has been saving consistently for two years.
286
The problem is still unpleasant, but it is no longer a disaster.
287
That is the quiet power of saving.
288
The second habit is budgeting.
289
A budget is simply a plan for your money before your money disappears.
290
Without a budget, many people feel as if their money vanishes every month.
291
They work hard, receive their paycheck, and then wonder where it all went.
292
A budget brings reality into the open.
293
It shows exactly what comes in, what goes out, and what remains.
294
And something interesting happens when you can finally see the truth.
295
You start noticing patterns.
296
Maybe you discover that a large amount of your income goes toward things you barely remember buying.
297
Maybe you realize that small daily purchases are costing far more than you expected.
298
Awareness creates better decisions.
299
You do not need someone to force you to change.
300
Once you clearly see the numbers, you often begin changing naturally.
301
The third habit is understanding the difference between spending and investing.
302
Spending means the money is gone after you use it.
303
Investing means putting money into something that has the potential to grow.
304
In other words, spending uses money.
305
Investing gives money a chance to work for you.
306
Many people think investing is only for rich people, but that is not true.
307
The most important thing about investing is not how much money you have.
308
It is how you think about money.
309
Here is a simple truth that most people do not learn until it is too late.
310
Prices go up over time.
311
Something that costs $10 today might cost $12 in five years.
312
That means money sitting still in your pocket is actually losing its power slowly.
313
This is why building the habit of thinking like an investor matters so much.
314
You do not need a lot of money to start.
315
You need the right mindset.
316
Once you begin asking yourself, will this help me grow or just disappear?
317
Everything about how you use money begins to change.
318
Now let us talk about time because how you manage your time shapes everything else in your life.
319
One of the most powerful habits you can build is very simple.
320
Before each day ends, spend five minutes planning tomorrow.
321
Just five minutes.
322
Look at the next day and ask yourself one question.
323
What is the one thing that if I do it will make tomorrow feel successful?
324
Then do something important.
325
Decide exactly when you will do it.
326
Not just what, when.
327
This matters more than most people realize.
328
A task with no specific time is easy to forget.
329
It moves from one day to the next on your list, never quite happening.
330
But when you give a task a specific time in your day, it becomes real.
331
It becomes a commitment.
332
That one small habit can completely change how you use your time.
333
There is something interesting about how the human brain works.
334
We almost always overestimate what we can do in one day.
335
At the same time, we underestimate what we can do in one full year.
336
This creates a painful cycle.
337
You write a long list of 10 things you want to finish today.
338
By evening, you have only finished three.
339
Instead of feeling proud of those three things, you feel disappointed about the seven you did not finish.
340
Your motivation drops.
341
The next day feels harder before it even starts.
342
But imagine a different approach.
343
Instead of planning 10 things, you choose only three important actions.
344
You complete those three actions every single day.
345
After one full year, the results are extraordinary.
346
This is one of the most important lessons about success.
347
It is not always about doing more.
348
It is about choosing better.
349
The people who make the most real progress in life are not always the business people.
350
They are the people who consistently do the things that matter most.
351
This connects directly to something almost everyone struggles with at some point.
352
Procrastination.
353
Procrastination means you delay an important task because it feels difficult, uncomfortable, or too big to start.
354
Many people think they are avoiding the work itself, but actually they are avoiding the feeling that comes just before starting,
355
that slightly uncomfortable feeling of beginning something hard.
356
The interesting thing is this, the task itself is almost never as difficult as the moment before starting it.
357
Think about practicing English.
358
You might spend an hour telling yourself you're too tired, too busy, or not in the right mood.
359
But the moment you sit down and actually begin, something changes.
360
The resistance becomes smaller.
361
Your brain stops fighting and starts working.
362
The same thing happens when you exercise, when you study, when you learn any new skill.
363
This is why a small technique works so well.
364
Instead of telling yourself you must study for one hour, Tell yourself you will do it for only two minutes, just two minutes.
365
Open the book, play the audio, write one sentence, speak one short paragraph out loud.
366
Most of the time, once you begin, you naturally continue.
367
Starting was always the hard part.
368
The work itself was never the real problem.
369
Say this out loud right now.
370
I will start for two minutes, just two minutes.
371
Now let us talk about something that is becoming more and more important in today's world, digital skills.
372
Not long ago, digital skills meant knowing how to use a computer.
373
Today they mean much more than that.
374
Almost every kind of work now involves technology in some way.
375
Whether you work in education, healthcare, business, or any other field, technology is part of your daily life.
376
The people who learn to use it well gain more opportunities.
377
The people who avoid it often find themselves falling behind, even if they are talented in other ways.
378
At the most basic level, digital skills mean using everyday tools well,
379
writing a clear email, organizing files, finding accurate information online.
380
These things sound simple, but many people use these tools every day without really understanding them.
381
Learning to use them properly saves time and makes you look more capable and professional.
382
There is also a deeper skill that matters greatly today, knowing how to evaluate information.
383
With the internet, we can access more information than any previous generation in history.
384
But not all of it is true.
385
Not all of it is helpful.
386
A person with good digital skills knows how to compare different sources,
387
check facts carefully, and recognize when something is misleading.
388
This ability becomes more valuable every single year.
389
One more thing about digital skills.
390
Artificial intelligence, which many people call AI, is already changing how people work.
391
Teachers use it to prepare lessons.
392
Business owners use it to understand their customers.
393
Writers use it to organize their ideas.
394
You do not need to become a technology expert, but you do need to understand how these tools work and how they can help you.
395
The people who learn to work with new technology will have more choices and more opportunities in the future.
396
Now we come to something that I believe supports everything else in a person's life.
397
You can have good habits, strong communication, good health, and useful digital skills.
398
But if people cannot trust you, if your actions do not match your words,
399
those other things will never take you as far as they could.
400
Character is not built in one big moment.
401
It is built through hundreds of small decisions made over time.
402
It is what you do when nobody is watching.
403
It is whether you keep a promise when keeping it becomes difficult or inconvenient.
404
At the center of character is honesty.
405
Honesty with other people means telling the truth even when it is not comfortable.
406
Humility with yourself means being willing to see your own weaknesses clearly, not to criticize yourself, but to understand yourself.
407
You cannot improve something you refuse to see.
408
There is also humility.
409
Humility does not mean thinking less of yourself.
410
It means understanding that you do not know everything, and that every person you meet can teach you something.
411
Really confident people ask questions.
412
They listen carefully.
413
They are comfortable saying, I do not know, because they are not afraid of learning.
414
And people tend to trust them more because they feel honest and real.
415
And there is kindness.
416
Simple, quiet kindness.
417
Remembering someone's name.
418
Thanking someone for their effort.
419
Being patient when a person is struggling.
420
when someone needs to talk.
421
People will often forget what you achieved, but they will remember how you made them feel.
422
Small acts of kindness build strong relationships,
423
and strong relationships open doors that talent alone cannot open.
424
Finally, let us talk about mindset, because all of the things we have discussed today depend on one belief,
425
that change is possible, that you can grow,
426
that who you are today is not the final version of who you can become.
427
Many people carry a quiet belief that controls their life without them realizing it.
428
It sounds like this, this is just who I am, or I have always been bad at this,
429
or I am not the kind of person who can do that.
430
These thoughts feel like facts after a while, but they are not facts.
431
They are patterns, and patterns can change.
432
Think about someone learning English.
433
They study for a few weeks.
434
They make mistakes when they speak.
435
They feel embarrassed.
436
When a thought appears, maybe I am just not good at English.
437
Once they believe this, they practice less.
438
They avoid speaking.
439
They become more afraid of making mistakes.
440
Eventually, they stop trying, not because they could not improve, but because they stopped giving themselves the chance.
441
Psychologists talk about something called a growth mindset.
442
A growth mindset is the belief that your abilities can develop through effort and practice.
443
It does not mean pretending everything is easy.
444
It means understanding that who you are today is not fixed.
445
You can grow.
446
You can improve.
447
The research on this is clear.
448
People who believe they can improve usually do improve faster.
449
Not because belief is magic.
450
Believe changes behavior.
451
When you believe improvement is possible, you try more often.
452
You stay longer when things get difficult.
453
You recover faster after mistakes.
454
The simplest mindset change you can make is to add one word.
455
Instead of saying, I am not good at this, say, I am not good at this yet.
456
That one word keeps the door open.
457
It accepts where you are now without making it your permanent identity.
458
Every fluent English speaker once struggled to build simple sentences.
459
Every confident person once felt nervous in front of others.
460
Every disciplined person once had days when they wanted to quit.
461
The difference is not that they were special.
462
The difference is that they continued long enough for improvement to become visible.
463
So say this out loud right now,
464
I am building, every day I am building because that is what real growth looks like.
465
Not sudden transformation, not overnight success, building one small choice at a time,
466
one day at a time.
467
And one day, you will look back and realize
468
that the person you wanted to become was built by hundreds of small decisions that seemed unimportant at the time,
469
but together changed everything.
470
The future belongs to the consistent ones.
471
The ones who kept going on the days when stopping would have been much easier.
472
I will see you in the next episode.
473
Goodbye for now.
474
Your progress doesn't end here.

¿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.
