Pratique du Shadowing: How I Became More Confident! (level - EASY) - Apprendre l'anglais à l'oral avec la vidéo
Création de la leçon...
1
Okay, what do they say around here?
2
Welcome back to my channel.
3
Today we're going to talk about confidence, how I gained it and how I maintained it throughout my life.
4
So a lot of people ask me, how did I become confident?
5
What did I do?
6
How did I get the confidence?
7
And the truth is, confidence is not something that is given to you, right?
8
It's not something that somebody can magically put inside your brain.
9
I think Mel Robbins said that confidence is the willingness to try.
10
So the more you do things, the more you try doing things, the more confident you become.
11
It's as simple as that.
12
Now I was born and raised in a very small community slash village in Republic of Moldova, right?
13
So let's just say I didn't have anybody giving me confidence lessons back then, but here's what I did that I didn't realize I was doing that helped me throughout my entire life.
14
It's very simple.
15
Delusion, playing pretend, imagination, fake it till you make it, all that cheesy stuff.
16
But hear me out.
17
Let's say you're a character in a play or in a movie, right?
18
And someone tells you, hey, your name is this and you are this confident human being who just started a new job
19
and is going to show everybody how amazing they are.
20
It's a play, right?
21
You play pretend.
22
So this is what I did in my life.
23
As a kid, I would imagine who I was.
24
Like, okay, I want to be bold.
25
I want to be brave.
26
I want to be confident.
27
I didn't even know what confidence meant at that time, but I wanted to be the center of attention.
28
I wanted to be funny.
29
I wanted to be fun.
30
So I was imagining that I was all those things and I was basically pretending to be those things.
31
And I liked the game.
32
I liked who I was when I was pretending.
33
The game stopped being a game when everybody around me, when the kids started believing that that's truly who I was.
34
And let's say we had a little school project.
35
They would be like, oh, Verdeca can present.
36
She's bold and brave and she can do it.
37
What?
38
Or like, oh, we have to go to the director's office, but we're all scared to knock first.
39
Verdeca can knock.
40
What?
41
So in a way, I started becoming the person who I was pretending to be.
42
And you can do that in real life as well.
43
And you can break it down into smaller pieces.
44
Let's say you're somebody at work, you're somebody at home, you're somebody in the gym, you're somebody with a friend or whatever it is.
45
But let's talk about what stops you from being confident and what are some struggles that people have with confidence in general.
46
So number one, you're afraid of being judged.
47
What if I say this and they think I'm stupid?
48
Number two, you compare yourself to others.
49
She's better than me.
50
Why should I even try?
51
Number three, you're a perfectionist.
52
I won't do it at all if I can't do it perfectly.
53
Number four, negative self-talk.
54
I always mess up.
55
I'm not smart enough.
56
I'm not even going to do it.
57
Number five, past failures or trauma.
58
Last time I spoke in public, I froze and choked, so I'm not going to do it again.
59
Number six, cultural or family conditioning.
60
I was always told to stay quiet and not stand out.
61
And number seven, lack of practice or experience.
62
And we're going to talk about that a little bit more.
63
So a lot of people ask me, hey, how can I get to your English level, for example?
64
And the idea that people have is that they can do something,
65
like a couple of things really quickly and get to a certain level or get to a certain level of confidence.
66
Or they ask me, how can I be confident like you?
67
And in their mind, it's like, oh, confidence, it's something that you can gain very easily.
68
It's something that, you know, somebody can just tell me what to do, and then I'll get confident.
69
Well, confidence is a skill, okay?
70
Confidence is not a piece of information.
71
It's not that you just take a course and at the end of the course you're confident.
72
You could be a little bit more confident, but it's not going to be exactly what you expected.
73
Confidence is a skill.
74
If you start playing the violin and you have no idea how to play it, you've never played it before, you're extremely, extremely insecure, right?
75
But if you practice every day.
76
You take lessons, you improve, you pay attention, you grow, you learn, you make mistakes, you become more and more confident because you become better at it.
77
You start a new job.
78
The first day you arrive at that job, let's say your job is just to pick up the phone and say, hi company XYZ, my name is Rudika, how can I help you?
79
At the beginning, this will be terrifying.
80
The first time to pick up the phone
81
and listening to a stranger saying hello and then you having to have
82
that confidence of saying that sentence with a certain tone
83
and certain clarity right it's really complicated you're you're not confident in doing
84
that but throughout the day you're gonna have to do
85
that maybe 20 times at the end of the day are you gonna be a little bit more confident in doing it?
86
The answer is yes.
87
What about in a week?
88
What about in a month?
89
Was there a manager able to give you that confidence on day one?
90
No, you had to do it yourself.
91
People can guide you what to do, how to do it, but ultimately you have to be the one putting yourself in that situation,
92
doing the thing that you're lacking confidence in and becoming more confident by doing it.
93
So as a kid, when I was pretending to be someone confident, right?
94
When someone would be like, hey, you go and knock at that door because we're all afraid, but you can do it.
95
In my mind, I was like, oh shoot, they all think I can do it.
96
I'm also shaking in my boots, but I'm going to push myself and do it because I have to live up to the expectations.
97
And then I would go and do it and see that nothing terrible happened when I did it.
98
The second, the third, the fourth time I knocked at that door, people already knew me, they would say, oh yeah, come on in, next time, don't even knock, whatever.
99
And I would be like okay
100
so the more you do it the better it gets
101
so i was very confident in knocking at the director's door by the end of the year
102
so confidence is the result of doing a thing
103
that you're not confident in over and over
104
and over again it's a very simple concept if you're afraid of public speaking
105
There is no way somebody can just give you a guide
106
or explain to you how not to be afraid of public speaking.
107
Yes, they can give you tips and tricks.
108
Yes, they can try to change your mindset around it.
109
Yes, they can give you some sort of guidance, but ultimately you are the one that has to go on the stage with a mic in your hand,
110
with that projector light in front of your face, and talk to a bunch of strangers the first time you're
111
gonna do it is gonna be terrifying the second time you're gonna do it is gonna be also probably terrifying
112
but at least you're gonna know what to expect third time
113
you're gonna know what to expect you probably i don't know maybe work a little bit on a couple things
114
and get a little bit better next time you'll get even better
115
so on and
116
so forth until you get to a point where you have
117
everything covered you know what to expect you know what jokes to tell, you know how to breathe, you know when to drink water,
118
you know you remember where the screen is, you know how quickly to go through the slides, you know what to add to make your speech more interesting and entertaining.
119
You're basically a pro and as a result you're confident in doing that.
120
So let's say somebody looks at you as a public speaker
121
three years down the road after you've done it for so long.
122
And they say, how do I get your confidence in public speaking?
123
I want to be as confident as you are.
124
You would tell them, do it.
125
So there's a few different types of confidence, right?
126
There is emotional confidence.
127
There's intellectual confidence.
128
There's professional confidence.
129
There's creative confidence.
130
And there's also situational confidence.
131
Like you're super confident in the kitchen, but not on a stage.
132
And for me personally, confidence came through
133
doing the things that I was afraid of doing and understanding and realizing that nothing bad will happen if I do them.
134
Because what is lack of confidence?
135
Lack of confidence is basically stemming from your insecurities and your fears, right?
136
You're not confident in doing something
137
because you don't feel like you've had enough experience in that area to feel like you know what you're doing.
138
If you do a thing a million times over, you are confident, you trust yourself that you can do it one more time
139
because you did it a million times
140
so you have to really think about it especially with speaking english right
141
because a lot of you ask me specifically about english speaking
142
like you you're not confident in it well you have to
143
have this realization you have to like really think about it long
144
and hard to to understand the logic behind confidence like what is this word
145
when we say she lacks confidence in this or she walks confidently or he is not very confident in his job.
146
That simply means that they didn't do those things enough.
147
So if somebody doesn't walk confidently,
148
right, it's probably because nobody really explained to them what it means to walk confidently and they have never tried it.
149
And your posture and the way you present yourself also matters
150
because if people look at you and you pretend that you have this, you know, confidence stance and you speak confidently your tone is very calm
151
but also firm um you present yourself in in a way
152
that people perceive as confidence whatever you say will also be perceived as the real deal
153
so there's little tricks that you can do right fake it till you make it
154
and somebody came up with a saying
155
and i love the saying i know it could be interpreted
156
in different ways people don't really see you know as black
157
and white everything but
158
when you look at the saying fake it till you make
159
it this is what i'm talking about is kind of accepting the fact
160
that you are a character in your own show
161
and i know you've heard this idea before
162
but it is true you are a character you have given yourself a description you have given yourself your name
163
but also your role, like who you are in your life.
164
And as long as you believe that truly, your actions, your words, your demeanor will follow that.
165
And it works the same way with negative self-talk.
166
If you give yourself a character name and a description that is very weak, it's very negative.
167
This is Nancy.
168
She is very insecure.
169
She has a lot of fears.
170
She's afraid of talking to people and she thinks she sucks at her job.
171
If you tell yourself this, if you describe yourself as this character, you will be this character.
172
So here's a few other things that I did or I would tell myself that helped me with my confidence.
173
So before doing something, I would think what's the best it could happen.
174
I would actually create an imaginary situation of the best absolute scenario
175
that I would get from that action or whatever I decided to do.
176
So you don't think about what's the worst it could happen, you think about what's the best it could happen.
177
Second step, you actually do it.
178
You block the intrusive thoughts that tell you, do not do it.
179
This is risky.
180
This is dangerous.
181
You might look stupid.
182
Somebody might judge you.
183
Whatever.
184
These are intrusive thoughts.
185
They're not real.
186
It's not proof of anything.
187
Next step, if I did the thing I decided to do and I made a mistake or it wasn't great,
188
I wouldn't hold on to the shame or embarrassment feelings longer than like 10 I would accept them.
189
Oh shoot, that didn't go very well.
190
Yeah, maybe I should have done that. That sucks.
191
Okay, well 10 seconds are up.
192
Next time I'm gonna do this differently and you learn from it, right?
193
You do not spend a whole day thinking about how you messed up.
194
So if I made a mistake, so be it.
195
Tomorrow's another day.
196
If I said something silly, oops, tomorrow's another day.
197
I learned this from my Canadian friends, to be honest.
198
I was so amazed by how easily they let go of their mistakes there.
199
I come from a country where, or from a culture, an Eastern European culture, right, where mistakes are condemned.
200
Like if you make a mistake, you're dumb, you're stupid, like you're not supposed to make mistakes.
201
If you're not going to deliver something perfect, then don't try at all.
202
So this is a mindset, a cultural problem too, right?
203
And then when I moved to Canada and I would make a mistake at my job and people will be like, okay, well, let's learn from it next time.
204
Let's just do this instead.
205
That's it.
206
Moving on.
207
There was no extra time spent on the mistake made.
208
Whatever you did, you don't think about it longer than necessary unless it's in a constructive way.
209
Beating yourself up and thinking about it the whole day or the whole week or however long you're thinking about it
210
does not bring you anything, no benefits.
211
You're only going to be solidifying those insecurities and those fears that will stop you from doing this thing again.
212
Next step, again, about the mistakes because I would always make mistakes all the time.
213
But what I realized that really helped me
214
was to be grateful for the opportunity to do that thing
215
so I could learn from my mistakes or I could learn from whatever happened.
216
Because some people might not even get the opportunity
217
and I would also be grateful for the courage I had to commit to that and try it.
218
If I'm home, sitting on my couch comfortably, not pushing myself to do anything new, not trying to do anything interesting,
219
not pushing myself to think outside the box means
220
that I am stagnant I'm not doing anything I'm I'm I'm stuck
221
and if you want to be stuck that's fine
222
if you want to be on the same level for the rest of your life
223
that is your choice that is okay but if you want to grow
224
if you want to improve
225
if you want to become more confident in something you have to put yourself on
226
that stage you have to put yourself in front of those people.
227
You have to get yourself out of the house.
228
You have to do things that don't necessarily sound so appealing, but by doing them, you will learn so much.
229
I think ultimately the biggest thing that helped me was blocking the intrusive thoughts.
230
Understanding that I have control over my thoughts was literally a game changer.
231
And it is a learning process.
232
You can just immediately stop the intrusive thoughts and be done with them.
233
They will always be there.
234
They're part of your natural instincts.
235
Don't do this.
236
Something bad might happen.
237
Don't do this.
238
You might embarrass yourself.
239
Oh, you did this.
240
You made a mistake.
241
You embarrassed yourself.
242
Don't do it again.
243
And the fear and insecurities are made up things, right?
244
They're thoughts.
245
They're not real.
246
There's no, you can't touch them.
247
The same way you create these thoughts in your brain, the exact same way you can create better thoughts in your brain or block these thoughts in your brain.
248
So let me give you an example.
249
When I was in Canada, I had an interview for a higher position
250
and obviously I prepared for it and I kind of knew the general ideas that they would ask me.
251
I prepared answers, I prepared ideas, whatever.
252
I was very prepared.
253
But then they asked me a couple questions that I wasn't prepared for
254
and of course I did what I could to answer as well as I could in the moment.
255
But after that I was like, I should have said this and I should have said that and I should have said that.
256
And I started getting these unpleasant emotions like regret or shame or I don't know, trying to beat myself up.
257
And I had to be like, whoa, no, I see these thoughts.
258
I have to block them.
259
What I can do is learn from it, right?
260
I have 10 seconds to feel this and then I have to let it go because, okay, next time I'll have an interview, I'll think about it from this perspective.
261
and if they ask me again something that I'm not prepared for, I'm going to buy myself some time.
262
I'm going to say things like, hmm, that's a really good question.
263
Let me think about it for a second.
264
I just gave myself a couple seconds to wire up my brain.
265
So I would learn from it.
266
If I were in the same situation again, what would I say?
267
And then this becomes a positive, constructive experience.
268
It's not something to beat yourself up for
269
because learning from it actually takes you further Beating yourself up pushes you backwards Okay,
270
another thing I remembered about confidence that I started doing
271
when I was young and I still do to this day Is never think about yesterday
272
and always think about today and tomorrow and it sounds a little bit cliche
273
But let me explain in my opinion or in my understanding
274
My version of me yesterday was slightly less experienced than the version of me today.
275
And the version of me tomorrow will be slightly more experienced than the one today.
276
So if I am here today thinking about my version yesterday without trying to learn from what I did and my experiences,
277
then I'm always kind of stuck one step behind.
278
But if I'm grateful for yesterday and I'm trying to learn from my experiences
279
and I'm looking forward to applying this new knowledge or whatever I learned tomorrow, then I'm in this continuous growth sort of mindset.
280
For example, content creation.
281
I never really thought like a year ago, if you told me that I would be a content creator in 2025, almost turning into a full-time content creator,
282
I would have literally laughed so loudly in your face because I had a full-time job.
283
I had a career.
284
I thought I moved to Canada to live there forever.
285
And the biggest struggle at the beginning of my content creation career was the fears
286
and the insecurities because most of my following at that time on Instagram, I had 727 followers or something,
287
were friends, family, people who knew me.
288
And I was thinking about me making that content
289
and them analyzing it and dissecting it because they all knew me
290
and I thought they would judge me and I thought they would criticize me
291
and I just thought
292
that they would think how dare she like how does she
293
think who does she think she is pretending to do her
294
makeup routine like who wants to listen who wants to watch
295
that and yes it was cringe and yes it was kind of weird and probably was embarrassing too.
296
But the feelings of embarrassment and shame are feelings that you put inside your head yourself.
297
And it's kind of funny how you want to create a piece of content
298
and you start analyzing it through your own lens, through your own vision goggles, right?
299
And through your friends.
300
And you don't even know
301
if your friends are going to think about it the way you think they're going to think about it.
302
So you're just putting words in their mouths
303
and you're just creating your this imaginary consequence like
304
if i post this i'm gonna embarrass myself my friends are
305
gonna laugh at me my family is gonna think oh my god she's
306
so cringe or whatever right you don't even know
307
if that's gonna happen you create that scenario you have no proof this will happen
308
so i started posting on tiktok because I knew that none of my friends were following me on TikTok.
309
My name on TikTok was the foreign son for the longest time, so you couldn't really look me up under Rodika.
310
And I would post like little nail videos or some other types of random content.
311
And for the longest time, I did not want to post on Instagram because I knew that everybody who knew me from work, my friends from back at home,
312
everybody knew me would be on Instagram until one day I quit my job
313
and I was like you know what I want to grow my Instagram page I don't know how to do
314
that but the content that I'm posting on TikTok seems to be doing
315
so well might as well post it on Instagram too
316
and I said okay I'm gonna try with one video I'm
317
gonna post it on Instagram see what the response is
318
and then go from there
319
and funny thing my first video I posted on Instagram had
320
a really good response my friends were commenting saying this is
321
amazing I love it for half a year I did not want to post on Instagram
322
because I decided that people were going to laugh at me
323
when actually people were being supportive
324
and I held myself back not them I had no proof
325
that they would think like that I put those thoughts in my head
326
so then I realized okay this lack of confidence
327
that we're talking about that I had I was not confident in posting my content on Instagram is made up.
328
Okay.
329
Lack of confidence is made up.
330
Confidence is also made up.
331
However, when you are confident, it's coming from experience.
332
When you have a lack of confidence is coming from inexperience.
333
So instead of saying I am not confident, I would say I am inexperienced.
334
And if I want to say I am confident in this,
335
I would probably say I'm experienced in this because I don't see a way of becoming confident without being experienced in something.
336
Anyway, so the point of this video was, I guess, to make you aware of the fact that whoever is confident just means that they're experienced.
337
And if you want to become confident, you need to become experienced in that area.
338
If you guys are telling me, hey, I'm okay with listening, I'm okay with reading, I'm okay with writing, I'm just not confident in speaking.
339
Guess what you should be doing?
340
That means you are inexperienced in speaking.
341
That means you have way more experience in listening to things, in reading things, and in writing things.
342
So what you gotta do is speak more.
343
Get more experienced in speaking.
344
I lack confidence equals I lack experience.
345
Don't blame it on your personality.
346
Don't blame it on your parents.
347
Don't blame it on anybody else.
348
Blame it on the inexperience.
349
How simple is that?
350
Oh, I'm not confident in picking up the phone.
351
Pick up the phone more.
352
Oh, I'm not confident in riding a bike.
353
Ride the bike more.
354
I'm not confident in driving.
355
Drive more.
356
I'm not confident in speaking English.
357
Speak more.
358
And whatever you feel like you're not confident in, most likely is a skill that needs to be practice.
359
And I don't want to say practice makes perfect because nobody's perfect, but practice makes better.
360
More practice makes much better.
361
I am very proud of you that you made it till the end of this video because again, I was rambling.
362
So I really appreciate you being here.
363
Thank you so much for watching.
364
Make sure you hit that notification bell to know
365
when I post the next video and let me know if you have any questions.
366
I will happily reply to them in the comments.
367
Okay, love you.
368
Bye!

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.
