Hello everyone, welcome to our Chinese podcast.
2
Thank you for listening today.
3
Today's topic is very real and very important: Why, after studying Chinese for so long, do you still feel like you can't speak it?
4
You've clearly worked very hard; you've bought many books, watched many videos, and memorized vocabulary every day, but when you try to speak, you get stuck, right?
5
Don't worry, you're not alone.
6
Many foreign friends feel the same way.
7
So today, let's talk about this together , so you can find the answer and speak Chinese more easily and happily.
8
You might say, "Chinese is too difficult!" Yes, you can already say that, great!
9
But have you ever thought about why you say "It's too difficult" but not more?
10
It's because the Chinese you've learned often just stays in books and in your notebooks, but hasn't entered your life.
11
Let's talk about the first reason: you're too afraid to speak Chinese.
12
You're afraid of making mistakes, afraid others won't understand, afraid others will laugh at you.
13
So, you'd rather be quiet and not speak.
14
But, do you know what?
15
Chinese people really won't laugh at you.
16
When Chinese people hear you speak Chinese, they'll say, "Wow, your Chinese is very good!" They'll help you.
17
When they hear you say a simple sentence, like, "I want to drink water," they'll think, "You can speak Chinese!" So, don't be afraid.
18
It's okay if you don't speak perfectly.
19
Everyone makes mistakes when learning a language; even Chinese people often make mistakes.
20
The second reason: You only learn words, not sentences.
21
For example, you know "drink," "water," and "want," but you don't know how to put them together.
22
You memorize ten words every day, but you can't say a single sentence.
23
Have you ever experienced this?
24
You memorize words and then forget them, getting more and more tired, and then you tell yourself, "I have a bad memory." Actually, it's not that you have a bad memory; it's that your method is wrong.
25
Learning a language is like cooking; you can't just have many ingredients; you also need to know how to make a dish.
26
So, starting today, don't just memorize words; memorize sentences—the words you actually use in your daily life.
27
The third reason: You don't use Chinese in your daily life.
28
When you learn Chinese, you sit at a table, you write, you do exercises, you listen to the teacher.
29
But when you leave the classroom, you become an English speaker again.
30
You know "How much?", but in a store, you still ask in English.
31
You know "Where is this?", but in a rush, you forget everything.
32
Therefore, Chinese hasn't become a part of your daily life.
33
When you learn a new sentence, you should use it immediately.
34
For example, give yourself a small task: When I go out today, I will say one sentence in Chinese.
35
Even just one.
36
For example: "I want this," "I want to buy bread," "Can you help me?" If you say it, you'll remember it; if you don't use it, you'll forget it.
37
The fourth reason: The Chinese you've learned is too formal, not lifelike enough.
38
You might say, "Hello, my name is..., I'm from..., nice to meet you." Great, you know these sentences.
39
But when you actually go to China, and a friend says to you, "Hey, wanna go out for dinner tonight?" you might be confused: "What? Dinner? Go out? Tonight?" The Chinese you've learned is like the Chinese used for exams, not the Chinese you speak with friends.
40
What you need isn't more grammar, but more everyday Chinese.
41
For example: "How do you say this?" "Can you give me a discount?" "What are you doing?" "Wait a minute." "I don't understand, can you say it again?" "Delicious!" "Really?" These sentences are simple, but extremely useful.
42
The fifth reason: You're always listening, watching, and reading, but you don't speak.
43
Many people study Chinese for a long time, but speak it very little.
44
They might only say three sentences a day.
45
Listening, reading, and writing are important, but speaking is the most important. If you want to learn to swim, you have to get in the water; if you want to speak Chinese, you have to open your mouth.
46
Don't wait until "I'm ready." Waiting until "ready" means you'll never begin.
47
Let's think about a life scenario.
48
For example, you're in a Chinese restaurant, you get the menu, you see a lot of words, and you're afraid to order.
49
You want to speak English, but you tell yourself: "No, I'm going to practice my Chinese today." So you call the waiter: "Hello, I'd like to eat dumplings." Your Chinese isn't perfect, but you said it.
50
The waiter will smile and say, "Okay." And then, you succeeded!
51
You'll think, "Wow, I can do it!" You'll speak even better next time.
52
Another example: you want to make friends.
53
You go to the park and see someone with a dog.
54
You want to speak, but you don't know how to say it in Chinese.
55
It's actually quite simple. You can say, "Your dog is so cute!" You already know this sentence.
56
The other person might say, "Thank you!" And then you have your first Chinese conversation.
57
Learning Chinese in daily life is like that—it's a gradual process.
58
Another reason is that you always compare yourself to people who are much better than you.
59
You see others speaking Chinese very well, and you feel inferior.
60
You forget that they also started from scratch.
61
You only see their current state, but not their daily practice.
62
So, don't compare yourself to others. Just being a little better than you were yesterday is a success.
63
You also need to understand that speaking Chinese isn't about memorizing grammar or taking exams.
64
Language is for connection, for communication. You can communicate even if you make mistakes, you can communicate even if you speak slowly.
65
The most important thing is that you want to speak, you are willing to speak, and you dare to speak.
66
Some people say, "I understand, but I can't speak." This is very common.
67
The reason is that your brain is only inputting, not outputting.
68
So, starting now, give yourself a small plan every day.
69
For example: — Speak five Chinese sentences every day, ask one Chinese question every day , listen to one Chinese podcast every day and repeat one sentence every day, and learn one everyday expression every day . Small plans can make a big difference.
70
For example, you can practice these sentences every day: "Can I?" "Where is it?" "How do I get there?" "I don't know." "Can you help me?" "What is this?" "It 's too expensive!" "I like this." "Can I have one?" "I'll come again tomorrow!" These sentences are simple, but you will definitely use them in your life.
71
The more you use them, the faster and more naturally you will speak.
72
You can also find a Chinese-speaking friend.
73
You don't need to chat for two hours, just five minutes will do.
74
You can tell him: "My Chinese is not good, speak slowly." He will help you.
75
You can say: "I'll say the simple ones first, and you can say the correct ones for me." You will improve very quickly.
76
Or, you can also speak Chinese to yourself.
77
Every morning, you can say to yourself: "Today will be good, I will speak Chinese." When you go out, you can say: "I'm going to the supermarket, I'm going to buy milk, I'm going to buy bread." When you get home, you can say: "I'm a little tired, but I'm happy." Talking to yourself is also a form of practice, and your brain will remember these sentences.
78
Actually, speaking Chinese doesn't require perfection, just authenticity.
79
It's okay if you can't speak in long sentences; you can speak in short sentences.
80
You wouldn't say "Because...therefore...", you could say: "I like Chinese. Chinese sounds nice.
81
I want to speak Chinese." That's also Chinese.
82
Most importantly, you're willing to use it.
83
If you improve just a little bit every day, a year later, you'll speak a lot.
84
Believe me, you've already started speaking Chinese.
85
Okay, I'm really happy you've heard this far today.
86
Thank you for taking the time to learn Chinese together.
87
You're already working hard, you're already moving forward, you've already gone further than many people.
88
Believe in yourself, you really can speak Chinese, and you'll speak better and better.
89
When you go to China next time, or chat with Chinese friends, you'll find that you can speak it, and you'll speak it very naturally.
90
That day will definitely come!
91
Thank you for listening today.
92
If you enjoyed this program, remember to continue chatting with me in Chinese.
93
I'll always be here for you.
94
See you next time.
95
Keep going! Goodbye~

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.
