If you've ever wanted to talk to someone you like

but had absolutely no idea what to say I need to say something funny, I need to impress them Then first use the context rule

One of the biggest approaching mistakes people make is thinking that they need the perfect opening line Excuse me,

if you're a fruit you'd be a fine apple But for most people it just feels unnatural So instead, use what's actually happening around you

And base the conversation on the reason why you want to approach

and talk to them for example

if they're looking at books in a bookstore excuse me sorry

i'm trying to find something good to read have you read this one yet

if you're both waiting for a coffee excuse me have you had the matcha here before i've never been

so i don't know what to get what would you recommend

if you're in a new town excuse me i'm on a solo trip

so i've never been to this town before do you know any restaurants

that would be a nice place to try for lunch

or even if the context is

that you genuinely notice something about them hey sorry i just

wanted to come over to say um i really love your

t -shirts cold play right have you seen them live notice how none of these are trying to be clever

and the reason why these work so well is because they're natural

and it doesn't leave the other person thinking what do they want from me

or why are they coming to talk to me however now you've done the hardest part

and introduce yourself you need to remember this number two you have two ears

and one mouth for a reason now there's an old saying

that says that we were given two ears and one mouth

because we should listen twice as much as we speak and

while you don't need to take that literally it's actually a nice rule to follow

because when we're nervous we tend to make the conversation all about ourselves we over explain

so yeah I was I was going over there and try

and fill every awkward silence I know maybe I wasn't going over there

because we constantly feel like we need to keep the conversation interesting

so you see yeah anyway yeah so that was

that was what I was doing but

but that's what actually makes the conversation feel exhausting instead I

want you to really listen to what the other person is saying and ask better questions by number three.

Always giving people something to respond to.

How was your day today?

You see conversations don't die because we listen or talk too much.

Yeah it was good thanks.

They die because we or the other person gives you absolutely nothing to respond to.

Nice.

Now here you might have thought it was his fault for ending the conversation

because he just said nice but in reality it was my fault

because I said yeah that was good thanks

and I didn't give him anything else to work with

so he couldn't really respond to anything now i want you

to start thinking of conversations like a game of tennis

because the only way for you to play that game is

when both players hit the ball over the net

and just like conversations if one person doesn't give you a very good question

or response then the tennis rally or the conversation will just die

so try and do your best when people ask you

so how was your day today to set the other person

up with something that's easy to respond to yeah it was

really good thank you actually I've just launched my brand new social confidence challenge

that I need to tell you about there's 21 videos in

there 21 lessons from me personally with 21 challenges to help you stay accountable

and improve your social confidence in 21 days every day there'll be one video

and one challenge for you to complete and you can track

that every single day by logging on your progress

and marking it as complete once you've watched the video learned a lesson

and used it in real life practice i've tried to put this together for as low price as possible

if you enjoy if you want to improve your social skills go ahead

and purchase it let me know when you have

and i've got a little surprise in there for you as well for those who do purchase

so thank you

so much i'm excited for this one number four always look

out for the quieter person in the group we've all been there

when we're in a group of people we want to talk

but there's so much going on and maybe there's people we haven't met before

so you just sit there in silence but then

that one bro notices you hey man are you all good yeah man thank you

and one of the most memorable things you can do in a conversation is genuinely make people feel included

and wanted now i've actually been going through this exact thing myself right now as

when i go to my girlfriend's home country lithuania i find

myself sat around a table with everyone speaking a different language

and although i'm learning i'm so shy to talk but

when somebody actually comes over to have a little chat to me notice as i'm quiet

and make sure i'm included in the conversation it means

so much so always look out for others who might be quiet

because sometimes it just takes one conversation starter to get them

to open up number five don't be embarrassed to ask for somebody's name again it can feel really embarrassing

when you first meet someone hi how are you doing i'm tom it's really nice to meet you i'm darren

and then midway through the conversation you think what was his name again Oh no, I forgot his name.

But no, that's really awesome, Tom.

Nice one.

How the hell does he remember my name?

But honestly, I found it's always okay to just ask.

I'm so sorry.

I'm really terrible at names.

Can you remind me of your name again?

No worries, man.

It's all good.

My name's Darren.

Because this does two things.

First, it actually shares a small fault about you in a conversation.

Most people try and be perfect, share a small fault, something you're not great at, and it makes them feel more comfortable. And second...

People won't actually be so focused on the fact that you forgot their name.

Right, Darren, don't worry, I promise you I'm going to remember it next time.

They'll remember that you actually cared enough to relearn it and ask again.

Now this can actually be one of the most powerful things that you do.

100

Yo Darren, how are you doing man?

101

I told you I'd remember the name.

102

And this instantly makes them feel good.

103

And finally, number six, finish on a high note.

104

Now most people wait until the conversation is dead

105

or there's nothing else to say before leaving

106

but honestly the final parts of a conversation are what people remember the most

107

so don't just think

108

if i leave now they're not going to notice are they where are you going i gotta go sorry bye

109

instead try and leave a conversation intentionally

110

and confidently well it was really good catching up with you

111

or i really enjoyed that conversation i'm

112

so sorry i've got to go i've got to get back

113

to my girlfriend she's gonna be pissed otherwise really good to see you okay take care

114

or even better leave the conversation when you've just shared a good moment

115

or a laugh a lot of people just think

116

that they can't leave a conversation because it sounds rude

117

or they're going to think it's rude but it's not

118

when you genuinely have a reason to leave the conversation that's absolutely okay it's

119

when you leave without warmth that the problem occurs thank you

120

so much for watching subscribe for more and i'll see you on the 21 day social confidence challenge

¿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.
