Hiya!

In today's lesson, you will learn how to speak English confidently with Harvey Specter from the TV series Suits.

I really think Harvey is the perfect model because every time he speaks, he shows us exactly what confidence looks like in these five ways.

Number one, using power idioms.

Number two, quick thinking.

Number three, being direct.

Number four, having a powerful mindset.

And number five, having confident body language.

And today, we'll watch Harvey in action, and I'll tell you exactly how to master each one of these five skills yourself

so you can feel more confident when you speak English.

Okay, so to start, you need to create your own arsenal of powerful automatic expressions.

You know, ones that convey a lot of meaning.

I mean, just check out how Harvey uses these.

You want to see me?

Did you go see Joy after I told you not to?

I told you, a puppy can't clean up its own mess.

Look, my plate's full with stable shelters.

I need you to look into Jerome's daughter.

But if you think that means that I can't kick your ass up and down this floor, take a swing and see what happens.

Look, I took him the offer.

I presented it to him and recommended that he take it.

In fact, I urged him to take it.

You know what he told me to do?

He told me to tell you to shove it up your ass.

Yeah, that last one is a bit rude, but still, it sounds confident, right?

Anyway, let's take a look at

that first clip again did you go see joy after I

told you not to I told you a puppy can't clean up its own mess in this case

that this is more like a funny proverb

but still a rich idiomatic expression you could use basically it means

that someone inexperienced can't fix the problems they create

and how about this other one look my plates full with stable shelters I

need you to look into Jerome's daughter what do you think he meant by my plate

is full he's saying he's busy working with the company stable

shelters in other words his plate is full with stable shelters see how

that sounds much more natural more conversational it paints a better picture than simply saying i'm busy

and that makes harvey a great communicator and a more confident one too now

that begs the question how can you start using more idiomatic

expression like harvey does well first of all you need to expose yourself to them

which you can do by simply living your english watching suits

with subtitles in english for example would be a great start

if you're a fan of the show but

if you want to make things simpler just watch our lessons

because we're always teaching a ton of useful idioms now once

you're living your english then you'll need start activating all this

new vocabulary you'll do this by taking note of the expressions you're learning investigating their meaning

and reviewing them later again this is much more easily done with our lessons

if you're on our app we actually save all these advanced expressions for you

and set up the review practice automatically

and finally you need to practice using these expressions you know like speaking them out loud

and yes you can do

that on our app too it's actually a new feature we released recently the real -life ai coach

which is perfect for learners just like you who want to develop confidence speaking

but don't have anyone to practice speaking with

so with your ai coach you'll be able to use the expressions you're learning

and that's the final step for building your own arsenal of

idioms i'm going to leave a link for you to check out the app in the description below

and you make sure to give it a try the link

will actually take you directly to this lesson with harvey on

the app where you'll be able to practice some of the expressions that learning such as, you know, my plate is full.

Anyway, now let's go to the next tip.

If you want to communicate with Harvey level confidence, you need to sharpen your ability to think on your feet.

This means reacting quickly and adapting when the conversation shifts and responding without freezing up.

And Harvey is a master of this.

Check it out.

Look, I made a bet that this company would grow and my billables would grow with it.

We're holding a pair of aces

and this assholes trying to fold done we're gonna need to

streamline this give each guy a hard time before you send them back give me a wink

if they say something clever cool okay you don't know anything

well you broke the law tell yourself whatever you want i'll tell myself i got an innocent man out

and i put two guilty ones in then i'll close my eyes and i'll sleep like a baby

notice how he doesn't pause overthink or second guess himself he listens processes and delivers

quick thinking isn't about talking fast it's about staying mentally flexible

so you can respond clearly under pressure you know

so you can roll with the punches

so the question is how can you develop this skill in

english well first you need to eliminate the time your brain spends translating

the more you translate from your native language the slower responses become

and this is another reason why those three steps i mentioned earlier of living your english activating and speaking are so important.

It's the best way to start thinking in English.

This means giving yourself tiny challenges where you must respond immediately even if you're not 100 % sure what to say.

For example, if you're watching Suits, try pausing an episode

and predicting how harvey might respond before he actually does this trains your brain to form ideas more spontaneously and faster

and it helps a lot to put yourself in situations where you have to react in real time

and as i already mentioned this is exactly what our real

life ai coach was designed for you can practice spontaneous conversation

and build the confidence to speak without rehearsing every word beforehand and remember quick thinking doesn't mean perfect thinking.

Even native speakers hesitate and correct themselves and adjust their thoughts as they speak.

You can certainly expect to be thrown off in any conversation.

Confidence comes from staying calm and continuing anyway, exactly like Harvey does.

Another big reason why Harvey sounds so confident is

that he always knows exactly what he's going to say before he says it.

That's why his delivery is so on point.

Lewis I apologize I was out of line hey he's ready

for a great first day I'm gonna have to let you go what Harvey never rambles

because he doesn't start talking until he knows his central message now most people do the opposite they start speaking

while they're still figuring out your point sometimes I'll start a sentence

and I don't even know where it's going I just hope I find it along the way

100

and that's when you get long unfocused sentences that don't sound confident.

101

So if you want to speak more directly and more like Harvey, here's a formula that works great.

102

Have a core message in mind before you open your mouth.

103

And this doesn't mean planning your whole speech.

104

It simply means taking a brief, deliberate moment to ask yourself, what's the main idea I want to communicate?

105

Once you know that, everything becomes easier.

106

You can lead with that idea and then build on top of it naturally. For example, instead of thinking through the whole paragraph think through just the

107

headline i disagree we need another solution i can't take this on right now

108

and that opening line will frame the whole message and after

109

that you just add reasons or details to support it

110

and here's a pro tip don't practice this only in english

111

make it a habit in your native language too the skill

112

of identifying your core message before you speak is a thinking skill not a language skill

113

if you get used to speaking deliberately, leading with your main point, and structuring your ideas logically in your first language, that clarity will transfer directly into your English.

114

The more you train your brain to communicate with intention, the more natural it becomes to do the same in English.

115

Over time, this habit creates a type of mental discipline that makes you sound confident no matter what language you're speaking.

116

Now, even with great vocabulary, quick thinking, clear delivery, there's still one thing

117

that ties all of Harvey's confidence together his mindset harvey doesn't

118

just sound confident he believes in himself at a deep level

119

when he walks into a room he has already decided

120

that he belongs there

121

that inner belief changes the way he speaks automatically now in the case of an english learner like you

122

and myself the mindset we need in order to feel safe

123

and confident you know feel that you belong in any room you enter is

124

that being vulnerable is a good thing vulnerability is not a

125

weakness in language learning it's actually your biggest advantage it opens the door for growth for honest connection with people

126

and for the kind of real life practice

127

that builds true fluency this begins with dropping the shame

128

if you feel embarrassed to speak you'll hold yourself back the

129

only way to improve your speaking is by speaking even

130

if your vocabulary is limited

131

if your pronunciation isn't perfect every time you open your mouth

132

you're building confidence every time you stay silent you're strengthening your fear instead and with

133

that comes another essential shift stop avoiding making mistakes mistakes are

134

not a sign you're bad at english they're just proof you're actually using it no one

135

and i really mean it no one becomes fluent without thousands of errors

136

even native speakers mess up constantly

137

if you're not making mistakes you're not pushing yourself enough to grow

138

and this mindset also means letting go of the habit of apologizing for your level

139

because when you say sorry for my english you immediately put yourself below the other person

140

but the truth is most people don't care about your mistakes they care

141

that you're trying to communicate your current level isn't something to apologize for it's the result of everything you've already worked for.

142

And yes, there will be moments of frustration

143

when you can't express yourself the way you want or when someone doesn't understand you.

144

This happens to every learner and it's not a sign that you're failing.

145

It's a sign that you're learning.

146

The more you face those moments with patience instead of discouragement, the faster you pass through that stage.

147

And finally, don't compare your English to anyone else's.

148

Everyone learns at a different pace.

149

Everyone has a different amount of exposure, time, and experience.

150

And comparing yourself only distracts you from your own progress.

151

A powerful mindset doesn't come from sounding perfect.

152

It comes from believing you have the right to.. participate to try to make mistakes

153

and to grow

154

when you start seeing vulnerability as a strength your confidence won't

155

come from you trying to perform in English it'll be your natural state

156

so having a defined mindset is the fourth tip Harvey knows who he is

157

when he enters a conversation and so should you alright

158

so to wrap up let's talk about the final ingredient behind Harvey's magnetic confidence his body language Harvey walks stands

159

and moves like someone who knows his value.

160

Shoulders back, chin up, steady eye contact, controlled movements, he communicates confidence before he even opens his mouth.

161

And while not every English learner needs or wants to project that intense alpha energy, Harvey reminds us of something very important.

162

Your body language affects how others see you and how you see yourself.

163

And this matters a lot when you're speaking English because when you're nervous,

164

your body often reveals it before your words do you might shrink your posture avoid eye contact speak too quietly

165

or move in a rushed way these signals tell your brain i'm not safe

166

which then makes it even harder to express yourself clearly

167

so instead here are a few simple body language habits

168

that can help you feel more grounded confident and in control

169

when you're communicating in english number one stand

170

or sit tall a straight spine and open chest send your brain a message of confidence number two keep your movements steady.

171

When you slow down your gestures and stop fidgeting, your speech naturally becomes calmer and clearer too.

172

Number three, maintain gentle, consistent eye contact.

173

Now, you don't need Harvey -level intensity, but avoiding eye contact completely can make you sound unsure.

174

Don't look at the floor and make sure to check in with your speaking partner's gaze from time to time.

175

Number four, use intentional gestures.

176

Simple hand gestures can help structure your speech and support your ideas

177

but keep them purposeful because too much movement can look nervous

178

and number five breathe seriously breathe many learners forget to breathe

179

when you speak another language deep slow breaths relax your voice

180

and give your sentences power and

181

if you feel tense remember to take five deep breaths before

182

engaging the conversation think of body language as a silent partner

183

in your English communication you don't need a perfect accent

184

or flawless synthesis to look and feel confident sometimes simply adjusting your posture

185

or slowing down your movements can change the entire energy of

186

a conversation now harvey's confidence might come across as larger than life

187

but the principle behind it is simple how you carry yourself influences how people receive your message

188

and how confidently you deliver it start training your body to support your words not fight them

189

when your posture and gestures and presence align with your voice.

190

Your English will sound clearer, stronger, and much more self -assured.

191

Okay, so to recap, here are the five skills for speaking English confidently that we learned from Harvey today.

192

First, using power idioms.

193

Second, developing quick thinking.

194

Number three, being direct.

195

Number four, cultivating a powerful mindset.

196

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?

Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
