1
If somebody cannot project their ideas to me succinctly, I instantly just dislike them.
2
Because maybe I have ADHD, maybe I'm too busy, I don't know what it is, but I don't have time for your ums and ahs.
3
I don't have time for it.
4
So if I'm sitting in a meeting and somebody goes, um, so, uh, we're going to start with, um, and this is how people speak.
5
You're a full-grown man and you can't finish a sentence without saying um or ah, and the only language you know you've been speaking it for
6
14 years it bothers me it's a pet peeve of mine it irks me occasionally we make mistakes but
7
if you actually listen to most people speak that's how most
8
people communicate with the world you wonder why you can't convince
9
a girl sleeping um um you're nice um dummy you're a dummy no wonder you can't You can't make any money.
10
You're an idiot.
11
This is people, though.
12
Ah, man and ah on their way through life.
13
It boulders me.
14
When people come to pitch me, if they say ahm or ahm too much in the first sentence, it's over.
15
Sorry, sir.
16
When you learn to talk English, when you learn to speak, it might give you another chance.
17
Goodbye.
18
So you're right.
19
The ability to project the thoughts inside of your mind in a way
20
that other people can digest and is also entertaining is massively a superpower.
21
How do you develop that superpower?
22
It's not through practice.
23
People think it's practice.
24
Practice doesn't make perfect.
25
Because you can practice a really bad habit and get really good at a really shit thing.
26
Absolutely.
27
The person who ums and ahs at 48 has been practicing his whole life.
28
He's practiced just fine.
29
He's great.
30
Feedback is what's important.
31
You have to analyze.
32
I'll give you an example.
33
When I was playing chess as a kid, I would play chess for two hours a day training under my father.
34
One hour would be play, one hour would be going back through the games and analyzing the games.
35
I always enjoyed playing, but I hated analyzing.
36
But it was the analysis that made me better.
37
And I can prove that now, because when I was eight or nine, I think my rating was around 1,500.
38
Now, I've been playing Blitz.
39
I play three-minute chess online.
40
For 20 years, ever since I was a child, and my rating is 79.
41
I've gotten no better in 20 years because I don't watch my games back.
42
I don't analyze them.
43
I don't look where I made mistakes.
44
I just play.
45
That's the problem.
46
So when people speak, they just speak.
47
They don't watch themselves back.
48
I'm gonna watch this podcast ten times.
49
I'm gonna identify every single time I stuttered or made a mistake or didn't use the word I should have used.
50
and then people are going to ask me, how do I speak the way I speak?
51
Why do my podcasts get the most views?
52
Because I'm a professional.
53
If I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it properly.
54
That's why.
55
Most people will do a podcast and they'll just sit there
56
and they'll just talk shit and then they'll finish it and they'll go on with their brokie day and be a brokie.
57
But it's very interesting what you said about speech because that also ties back to my current predicament.
58
This is the first time in my adult life I can't use my superpower because my superpower is talking.
59
If you were to put me in front of someone
60
and give me an hour to convince them that I could rip out their throat with my little finger, I guarantee by the end they'd be afraid.
61
We both know I've brought him a couple.
62
By the end, part of them, we think.
63
He's confident.
64
I can't talk in court because I don't speak.
65
It's very weird for me.
66
I became acutely aware of my superpower because I'm going through this process and my voice is talking about it.
67
And I'm like, why am I so frustrated with this?
68
And one day it dawned on me, ah, I don't get to talk.
69
When I get to talk, this is how much of a superpower speaking is, when I get to talk, it's fine.
70
I could have talked to the ocean out of freezing me to death on the Titanic.
71
I could have literally said listen, bro But on that's perfect Cassie, but I could have ran my mouth and I would have you know,
72
it was warmed up for me I'm that guy.
73
I can't talk now.
74
So it's very frustrating So it's interesting you say how it's a superpower It certainly is
75
because I've even realized it in this current predicament I mean how important is to be able to speak
76
when you've lost it because you've lost it like if you lost your hand Yeah, that's right exactly because I've lost it
77
and the fact there are people going through the world today who want to be successful and
78
Want to have all these amazing things and they only speak English
79
and they communicate in English And they try
80
and get other people to understand their ideas in English and they can't speak English Or to lose
Context & Background
In a thought-provoking dialogue, Andrew Tate emphasizes the importance of effective communication in both personal and professional settings. He observes that many individuals struggle to express their ideas clearly, often resorting to fillers like "um" and "ah." His frustration with these speech habits highlights a common obstacle that English learners encounter when aiming to enhance their speaking skills. For those preparing for the IELTS speaking practice or merely seeking to improve their conversational abilities, understanding how to project thoughts succinctly becomes crucial. Effective communication not only aids in making a positive impression but also plays a vital role in engaging others in meaningful interactions.

- “What I mean is…”: This is an effective way to elaborate on your initial statement, making your communication more accessible.
- “To summarize…”: Summarizing helps reinforce your main ideas and keeps your conversation focused.
- “In my opinion…”: Sharing your perspective clearly can foster engaging discussions and invite feedback.

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.
