Creando lección...
1
Hey, today's English lesson.
2
I'm going to give you four tips,
3
four tips that will help you communicate clearly in English and start speaking like a native English speaker.
4
Are you ready?
5
Well, then I'm teacher Tiffany.
6
Let's jump right in.
7
All right.
8
Tip number one, you need to simplify your idea.
9
This is something that I encourage all of my students to do.
10
And I want to encourage you as well.
11
You see, simplifying your idea is one of the first keys to speaking English,
12
like a native English speaker.
13
Look at point number one,
14
in order for your idea to stick for the person listening to you to understand and follow along,
15
you need to make your idea as simple as possible.
16
Think about it.
17
I'm teaching you English.
18
I'm your English teacher.
19
My goal is to help you master this English language and finally speak English like a native.
20
But English is very complicated.
21
So my job is to simplify the ideas, simplify the lessons.
22
And in order for you to speak like me,
23
you must also do the same.
24
The next thing is you must break your idea down until you get to the core of your idea.
25
Think about an apple.
26
I love apples and I have eaten an apple every day for so many years because I love apples.
27
Now, some days I miss eating the apple,
28
but usually I eat apples.
29
Now at the center of an apple is a core,
30
the center, the main portion of the apple.
31
So when we say the core of your idea,
32
you want to make sure you're giving the most important information.
33
Figure out what you're trying today to say,
34
I'm going to leave that in and actually deliver that information,
35
that message to the individual.
36
Simplify your idea and then come up with one simple and impactful statement or sentence.
37
Remember when you're trying to speak in English,
38
like a native, it's important for you to organize your thoughts.
39
As you organize your thoughts,
40
you'll figure out the core of your idea
41
and you'll figure out the most important thing you need to tell the person listening to you.
42
And you should be able to break that down into a simple sentence or statement.
43
For example, in this lesson I am teaching you,
44
I'm giving you four tips that will help you communicate in English like a native English speaker.
45
One sentence, one statement.
46
First, simplify your idea.
47
Makes sense, right?
48
Okay.
49
Let's move on to tip number two.
50
Tip number two is you need to prove your idea.
51
This is something that I love teaching my students how to do.
52
Again, proving your idea.
53
You need to let the person listening to you know that you actually can support your thoughts.
54
This is something that many English learners are not taught in their own countries
55
and other courses and other books or other institutes.
56
But it's something that native English speakers,
57
we are taught this in school.
58
When I was in high school,
59
when I was in elementary school,
60
when I was in college,
61
I was taught how to do this.
62
So this actually helps you support your idea and in essence becomes the foundation.
63
When you are able to support your idea,
64
it literally shows that you are a fluent English speaker.
65
You're able to really organize your thoughts and ideas and communicate well in English.
66
This also helps you to give clarity.
67
It gives clarity to your idea.
68
It makes it clear and easy to understand.
69
I want you to think about this.
70
Have you ever been listening to someone?
71
And they start talking, right?
72
They're talking to you and you're following along,
73
but then all of a sudden,
74
instead of hearing words, all you hear is mom,
75
mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom, mom.
76
You don't know what they're talking about.
77
You know exactly what I'm saying, right?
78
That happens when a person has not really provided a clear idea and is not supporting or proving their idea.
79
Instead, they're talking about random things.
80
Now you, as an English learner,
81
in order for you to communicate clearly and speak like a native English speaker,
82
you must prove your idea because this will provide clarity for your idea and help the person understand.
83
It also helps to round out your idea.
84
It basically comes full circle.
85
The person listening to you, here's your idea.
86
Then after you prove it, there's this response.
87
Ah, that makes sense.
88
Similar to what's happening to you now as you're watching this English lesson,
89
I'm breaking this down again,
90
four tips to help you communicate in English.
91
And I'm proving it by giving you different examples,
92
by helping you understand the power of following these tips and tip number two, proving your idea.
93
Makes sense, right?
94
Okay.
95
Let's move on to tip number three.
96
This is very important.
97
Connect your idea to an emotion.
98
This is another one that I love.
99
So native English speakers, we have been taught our entire lives throughout school and even in adulthood,
100
how to connect our lives to any topic,
101
how to connect our emotions to any topic.
102
This is a part of speaking clearly in English,
103
communicating in English and speaking English like a native.
104
For example, before I get to this point,
105
what do I do at the end of each English lesson,
106
you know, story time, right?
107
And you look forward to the stories I tell you right at the end of the lessons.
108
I'm connecting to you with an emotion.
109
The story is either a happy story or a sad story or inspirational story.
110
I'm connecting the lesson to an emotion for you in order to communicate in English,
111
you need to connect your idea to an emotion.
112
This is important.
113
Point one, this is important because your idea will stay in the listener's mind.
114
If they care about it.
115
For example, I know that you get frustrated when you're not able to express yourself like a native English speaker.
116
I know you get sad or upset when you're trying to speak in English and the words just won't come out.
117
I understand that.
118
So when I'm teaching you in English,
119
when I'm teaching you English in English,
120
I am aware of what you are going through because I went through the same thing when I was studying Korean,
121
just right there.
122
When I told you just now that I experienced the same thing you are experiencing right now,
123
suddenly there was this connection.
124
Ah, Tiffany understands me.
125
I can follow her lessons because she knows what I'm going through.
126
I connected my lesson, my idea to an emotion.
127
When you do this, you will become a better communicator in English and start sounding like a native English speaker.
128
The next thing is when someone cares about something,
129
when the person listening to you cares about what you're saying,
130
they pay attention to it more.
131
Why do you watch my English lessons?
132
Because there's a connection.
133
I've never met you in person,
134
but there's this connection we have, right?
135
And that connection leads you to come back and watch these lessons because I truly care about you you recognize that,
136
Hey, teacher Tiffany really cares about me and wants to help me improve my English.
137
There's a connection.
138
This is all part of speaking English,
139
like a native communicating clearly and well, and effectively in English.
140
The other thing is by connecting your idea to the listeners emotions,
141
you inadvertently answer the why question in their mind.
142
It should say the, not they,
143
the why question in their mind.
144
Think about this.
145
Think about this.
146
When you're speaking to someone,
147
you're explaining something to them, right?
148
You're helping them understand your idea and your emotions, right?
149
Well, when you're doing that,
150
the person, as they're listening to you,
151
the moment you connect to their emotions,
152
the moment you realize, Hey,
153
this is what they're feeling and you connect to them.
154
They want to listen more.
155
And you're answering the question in their head.
156
Why should I listen to this individual?
157
Why should I spend my time with this individual listening to them?
158
When you answer that by connecting to their emotions, everything goes much better.
159
So again, three tip number three,
160
connect your idea to an emotion.
161
Now tip number four is just as important.
162
Tip number four, share your examples for your idea.
163
Again, share your examples for your idea.
164
Earlier, we talked about proving your idea.
165
Now you're going to give examples.
166
You're basically painting this picture in the mind of the person listening to you.
167
They get to see your idea in their mind, in their imagination, right?
168
So this is important because your story or experience makes your idea more real.
169
When I talk to you about my experience in Korea,
170
studying Korean and learning Korean,
171
all of a sudden my lessons become more real.
172
Tiffany is not just making this up.
173
She's experienced it before.
174
She's helping me and she's explaining or talking about her personal experience.
175
For you, tip number four,
176
when you share examples for your idea,
177
you're sharing your personal experience,
178
which also helps the person connect to you.
179
Another thing, when someone hears your story,
180
they may also think about your idea more.
181
You're giving them more things to connect to.
182
You give them a story in their mind.
183
You give them your ideas,
184
you prove your ideas, and now you're giving examples.
185
And all of these things are working in their brain as you're talking and they're paying attention to you more.
186
You're communicating better in English.
187
Share your experiences, share your examples that connect to your idea.
188
Point number three, by connecting your story to your idea,
189
your personal experience, like story time,
190
you actually help the listener understand it even more than before.
191
When you tell stories that are connected to the topic,
192
when you tell stories that help your idea be a bit more clear,
193
the person listening to you will literally understand even more.
194
Here's the thing.
195
You want to speak English,
196
like a native English speaker.
197
You want to communicate clearly in English.
198
It's not just about the words you learn or the expressions you learn.
199
It's really about how you communicate,
200
how you express your ideas and how you think in English.
201
Now I just gave you four tips today,
202
but if you want to continue studying with me
203
and you really want to learn how to communicate like a native English speaker,
204
all you have to do is go to EnglishFluencyPlan.com.
205
Again, www.EnglishFluencyPlan.com.
206
The link is in the description and I would love to be your English teacher forever,
207
helping you speak English like a native English speaker.
208
I hope you enjoyed the lesson and I'll talk to you in the next one.
209
You still there?
210
Ha ha!
211
You know what time it is.
212
Here we go.
213
It's story time.
214
Hey, I said it's story time.
215
All right.
216
So today's story, I'm going to connect to you, right?
217
I'm going to give you an example.
218
I'm going to actually connect an emotion.
219
So I mentioned earlier that as an English learner, sometimes you get frustrated.
220
Sometimes you really get upset because you're not able to express yourself clearly, right?
221
And sometimes you also feel nervous.
222
I want to tell you about a time I felt nervous speaking in English.
223
So I actually, this is when I was in college,
224
I was asked to give a sermon at my church.
225
Now I don't have any problems speaking upfront.
226
I don't have stage fright.
227
I've never had stage fright and this is something that's a blessing from God, right?
228
I understand that many people have stage fright and are scared to stand up in public in front of others and speak.
229
Um, but I don't have that fear.
230
So I said, okay, I'll definitely speak.
231
I'll, I'll give the sermon at church.
232
So I did my research.
233
I studied, I went through the Bible.
234
I found a topic.
235
I had my notes and everything was organized and I was praying.
236
I wanted to make sure the Holy spirit moved as I gave the sermon.
237
So I prepared for a while and I had everything written out at all of my bullet points,
238
everything was organized, right?
239
And the morning that I was supposed to give the sermon,
240
I woke up early.
241
I rehearsed, I practiced, looked in the mirror,
242
made sure everything was right.
243
And as I was practicing,
244
all of a sudden my stomach began to turn like knots were in my stomach.
245
It felt like my intestines were just turning and my stomach made me keel over.
246
I bent over and said,
247
oh my goodness, something's wrong.
248
And I told my mom,
249
I said, something's going on.
250
Like my stomach is killing me.
251
I ran to the bathroom.
252
I came back to my room.
253
My stomach kept bothering me and I didn't know what was going on until.
254
I realized that I was nervous.
255
I was nervous because the message that I was going to preach was a very deep message,
256
it was a message that would not be easy to deliver.
257
It was deep, but it was not an easy message to deliver.
258
And without realizing it, I had started to get nervous.
259
So I prayed, I said,
260
God, I need you to help me because I'm extremely nervous right now.
261
And when you're nervous, you're not able to think clearly.
262
You've been there before, right?
263
As an English learner, when you're nervous,
264
words don't just come out right.
265
They don't come out the way you'd like them to come out.
266
You're not able to communicate clearly.
267
So I prayed and I got to church.
268
I went to the pastor's office.
269
You know, we went through the preliminaries of praying and getting everyone together.
270
And then we walked into the church and I was still praying,
271
Lord, I need you to help me.
272
This nervousness came out of nowhere,
273
but Lord, I need you to help me.
274
The service was going on.
275
We had music.
276
We had announcements.
277
We had prayer.
278
Everything was going on and I was still praying throughout the entire time.
279
And then it was my turn to go to the pulpit,
280
to the front, to deliver the sermon.
281
And as soon as I stood up at the pulpit,
282
I could feel God's presence.
283
And I immediately was calm and I preached the sermon and the sermon went well.
284
Praise God.
285
Everyone was blessed.
286
People came up to me afterwards and said,
287
man, that sermon was amazing.
288
It was from God, not from Tiff.
289
But the point is when I was nervous,
290
I wasn't able to think clearly.
291
But the moment I calmed down,
292
everything started to go smoothly.
293
So for you as an English learner,
294
you're going to have moments when you feel frustrated,
295
when you feel nervous, and when you are not able to say what you'd like to say in those moments,
296
stop, calm down and then start again.
297
It's amazing how, when you are calm,
298
you are able to speak and communicate in English so much better.
299
Hope you enjoyed this story and I will talk to you in the next lesson

¿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.
