you Bye.
4
I'm going to go to the next one.
5
Hi and welcome back to the English learning podcast.
6
I'm Neil.
7
And I'm Tara.
8
This podcast is for English learners like you.
9
Today's topic is something many people feel, But don't always say out loud.
10
Yes, today we're talking about my struggles with English.
11
Real feelings, real stories.
12
And we're not alone.
13
We have a special guest.
14
Her name is Sarah.
15
She's learning English.
16
She's still at the beginning.
17
But she's brave.
18
She wanted to share her story.
19
It's honest, simple and from the heart.
20
While you listen, try to follow the words on the screen.
21
Let's listen to Sarah.
22
Hi.
23
My name is Sarah.
24
I've been learning English for a few months now.
25
And today, I want to talk about something different something people don't talk about much.
26
The feelings we have when we learn a new language, especially when it's hard.
27
I remember my first English class.
28
I was excited.
29
I brought my notebook, my pens, everything.
30
The teacher said: Hello everyone.
31
And I just...
32
Prose Everyone around me said, Hello back But me?
33
I stayed quiet.
34
I was too nervous.
35
Why was I nervous?
36
because I was scared to speak.
37
Scared to make a mistake, Scared that people would laugh, Even now, sometimes I know the answer.
38
But I don't say it Because in my head, There's this little voice that says, What if you say it wrong?
39
What if you sound stupid?
40
No one told me learning English would feel like this.
41
Another thing: Sometimes I study a lot.
42
I write down new words.
43
I listen to podcasts, I watch videos.
44
And then, the next day, I forget everything.
45
I tried to say a sentence and Nothing.
46
My mind is empty.
47
and I feel so frustrated Like I'm not smart enough.
48
But that's not true, right?
49
It's just part of the process.
50
Still, No one talks about this part.
51
Also, comparing myself to others, That hurts too.
52
In my class, There's a girl who speaks so well, She always answers questions.
53
She laughs with the teacher, And I sit there thinking, Why can't I be like her?
54
I feel behind.
55
Slow.
56
Not good enough.
57
Sometimes, I even feel lonely.
58
because I want to practice English.
59
but my family doesn't speak it.
60
They say, Why are you trying so hard?
61
or Just speak your own language.
62
But they don't understand.
63
I want more.
64
I want to travel.
65
I want to make friends in other countries.
66
I want to watch movies in English without subtitles, But these things...
67
Take time.
68
No book tells you about the lonely nights.
69
or the tears when you feel like you're not learning fast enough.
70
or the fear of speaking in front of people, But I want you to know, If you feel these things, You're not weak.
71
You're not alone.
72
It's normal.
73
Learning a new language is not just about grammar, It's about courage.
74
It's about fighting your fear every single day.
75
It's about small wins.
76
like saying one sentence with confidence, or understanding a full English video just once.
77
or writing a message and not using Google Translate, These small wins, They met her.
78
They mean you're growing, So, yes, it's hard.
79
And yes, We feel all these things.
80
But still, We keep learning.
81
because we know it's worth it.
82
And one day, will look back and say, "I was afraid." I was tired.
83
I was shy.
84
But I never gave up.
85
So, How about you?
86
Do you feel the same sometimes?
87
Do you ever feel shy or tired?
88
Or like giving up?
89
Tell me in the comments.
90
I want to hear your story.
91
because you're not alone.
92
We're all learning together.
93
Let's talk.
94
Let's support each other.
95
Let's keep going.
96
step by step.
97
Thanks for listening.
98
See you next time.
99
And remember, You're doing better than you think.
100
Wow.
101
Sarah's story is powerful.
102
Yes.
103
And so real.
104
I think many learners feel like her, but they don't always say it.
105
Right the fear of speaking, The forgetting, the feeling of being alone.
106
It's not just about grammar, it's about confidence. and courage.
107
Sarah has so much courage.
108
Even saying "I will try" is a big step.
109
To all our listeners.
110
If you feel like Sarah, It's okay.
111
You're not alone.
112
We all struggle sometimes.
113
Learning English is not just a skill, It's a journey and you're doing better than you think.
114
So keep going, keep listening, keep practicing, even on hard days.
115
Next time, we'll talk about how to build confidence when speaking English.
116
You won't want to miss it.
117
Thank you for joining us on the English Learning Podcast.
118
Until then, keep learning and remember, you are not alone.

By listening to Neil, Tara, and their guest Sarah, you'll not only improve your comprehension but also gain valuable insights into the common feelings associated with language learning. As you follow along with the subtitles, you'll enhance your vocabulary and pronunciation while developing a better understanding of casual spoken English.

Practice Tips

To effectively improve your English pronunciation and speaking skills using this podcast, consider specifically practicing shadowing techniques. Shadowing involves listening to the audio and repeating what you hear in real time. Start by playing a short segment of the podcast, pausing after every few sentences to repeat the phrases. Pay attention to the intonation and rhythm of the speakers, as the British accent may differ from what you are used to.

Because the speed of the dialogue is moderate and clear, this is an excellent opportunity for IELTS speaking practice. Aim to mimic the emotional undertone of the speakers to enhance your expressiveness in conversation. Using resources such as a shadowing site can also provide additional structured practice.

As you shadow along with Neil, Tara, and Sarah, don’t be discouraged by moments of forgetting. Remember, language learning is a gradual process, and with consistent practice, you will see improvements. Using tools like learn English with YouTube can further supplement your listening exercises and enhance your overall language skills. Embrace the journey and stay committed to your goal of speaking English more fluently!

¿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.
