1
This is me on day one about to record myself speaking English for the very first time and completely falling apart.
2
And this is me 700 days later.
3
Same person, two years apart.
4
When I started recording myself every day, I thought I was documenting my journey to fluency.
5
I wasn't.
6
I was documenting the transformation of a person.
7
For the last two years, I kept almost all of these recordings private because they were embarrassing.
8
Every awkward pause, every mistake, every moment, I wanted to quit.
9
Today, I'm opening them for the very first time.
10
And after watching more than 700 recordings of myself, I realized the biggest thing that changed was not my pronunciation,
11
it was not my grammar, it was not my vocabulary.
12
It was something much deeper.
13
And once you see it, you will never look at learning English the same way again.
14
When I watched all 700 recordings back, I expect to see how my English had changed.
15
That is not what I found.
16
I found something much more interesting.
17
This is day one.
18
Hello, so this is just a brief introduction for me to tell us.
19
Hello, so this is...
20
When I recorded this, I thought my biggest problem was English.
21
Looking back, I don't think English was the real problem at all.
22
So, if it wasn't English, what was it?
23
The answer starts long before I ever picked up that camera.
24
I was the quietest kid in my entire school.
25
Speaking in Portuguese already made me nervous.
26
Speaking English felt almost impossible.
27
For years, I thought the reason I couldn't speak English was because I needed more vocabulary, more grammar, more confidence.
28
So I kept studying.
29
But no matter how much I learned, the moment I had to open my mouth, everything disappeared.
30
Eventually, I got tired of waiting to feel ready.
31
So I made one rule.
32
Every single day, I would press record and speak English.
33
I thought after a few days, it would get easier.
34
It didn't.
35
Every time I pressed record, I wanted to stop.
36
and it's just so weird for me and just so stupid.
37
I feel so stupid talking to this camera right now.
38
I looked everywhere except the camera.
39
I don't know a lot about things. And I just...
40
I'm not comfortable being on camera, you know.
41
It's just a natural thing for me.
42
My voice was shaking every single recording.
43
change my life and also the pauses fell endless you want to learn any language
44
or and after almost every recording i asked myself the same question why am i doing this i almost quit
45
but the next day i pressed record again and then the day after and then the next.
46
Eventually, something changed.
47
Not my English, the habit.
48
Recording myself stopped feeling like something I had to do.
49
It became something I just did.
50
But after a few months, I had a new problem.
51
Doing the same thing every single day started to feel repetitive.
52
I knew if I got bored, I would eventually quit.
53
So I changed the challenge.
54
Instead of just talking, I gave myself missions.
55
Explain this photo in 60 seconds.
56
Tell a story using these three random objects.
57
Describe this cup as if you are selling it.
58
And some ideas were terrible.
59
Sometimes I completely forgot every English word I knew.
60
And some recordings lasted just eight seconds.
61
The experiments didn't magically make me fluent, but they did something more important.
62
They made me want to press record again tomorrow.
63
And tomorrow turned into the next day, and then the next.
64
Until one day, I realized I had recorded hundreds of videos.
65
So I decided to watch them all back.
66
I thought I would see my English improving and I did.
67
But that wasn't the biggest change.
68
What surprised me the most wasn't my pronunciation.
69
It wasn't my vocabulary.
70
It wasn't even my grammar.
71
It was the person behind the camera.
72
I thought I was recording my English.
73
I was actually recording myself becoming someone who was not afraid to speak anymore.
74
The recordings didn't teach me every word I know.
75
Most of that came later from real conversations, real people, mistakes I never could have made alone in my room.
76
But the recordings were what made me capable of walking into those conversations in the first place.
77
For years, I thought FUNSI came first.
78
I thought one day I would wake up feeling confident enough to speak.
79
I was wrong.
80
Confidence didn't come before I spoke.
81
It came because I kept speaking.
82
Watching those 700 recordings taught me something I never expected.
83
Learning English was never just about learning a language.
84
It was about becoming someone who wasn't afraid to use it.
85
But here's the interesting part.
86
Those recordings were only one chapter of that transformation.
87
They didn't show you the conversations that changed me, the mistakes that completely changed the way I learned,
88
or the moments that turned English from something I practiced into something I genuinely lived.
89
So how do you actually become that version of yourself, the one who speaks English without constantly translating, who enjoys conversations instead of avoiding them,
90
and who naturally makes English part of their life?
91
That is exactly the transformation I walk you through in this video right here.
92
Click here and I see you there.

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.
