1
I'm thinking, what's the most important thing you can do in the next 10 days to improve your speaking?
2
And for this, Malcolm Gladwell wrote a book three years ago,
3
Outliers, Los que sobresalen.
4
What does it take to achieve world class?
5
What does it take to be truly excellent as a musician, as a sportsman, as a speaker?
6
And he looked at multiple different cases.
7
Is it talent?
8
Do Irish people just have this innate mack
9
that they can be great public speakers and people from Chile will never get there?
10
The answer is no. What is it that leads to excellence in programming?
11
And the answer is 10,000 hours of practice.
12
No matter where you start from, no matter how talented a kid was in school,
13
it's the kid that practices eight hours a day that's now playing as a soloist with the top orchestras of the world.
14
Leo Messi wasn't born with better right knee and a better left foot than anyone else in the world.
15
It's what he chose to do every day after school, every weekend, that means he is where he is today.
16
So the most important commitment you can make to yourself, you can listen to all of this and if you don't do this it's a waste.
17
So as you're considering that 6,000 euros that you've mentally paid and you're thinking how do I get a return on investment?
18
every laptop comes with a webcam I
19
Want each of you to decide that you're going to spend three minutes every day for the next ten days
20
You can call them work days.
21
So you don't have to do it the weekend
22
but three minutes every day start a little program that records and and explain the product, explain your CV, explain your vision,
23
explain what a good life.
24
One speech
25
that I get my students in the essay to do towards
26
the end is a value you would share with a child as the basis of a good life.
27
So day 10, that's your challenge.
28
Three minutes, your answer to what value would you share with a child
29
as the basis for a good life
30
so nothing I can do here is going to turn you
31
into great speaker no amount of watching YouTube videos of Bill
32
Clinton is going to turn you into Bill Clinton no amount of reading is going to turn you into writer
33
only by speaking but you turn into a speaker
34
but there's people who are 55 years old they've been in more than 10,000 hours worth of meetings
35
and they're crap at meetings.
36
The 23-year-old who started yesterday is better at making meetings run effectively.
37
So it's not just about 10,000 hours.
38
It's about deciding it's important, deciding you can get better.
39
And the video allows you the feedback that you can watch and see.
40
Now here there was a pottery class in the United States, ceramics, making pots.
41
And the teacher took half of the class and she said, at the end of this term,
42
your grade will be given on the weight of pots that you create.
43
So here is a weighing scales.
44
At the end of the class, whoever's total production of pots weighs the most will get the highest grade.
45
To the other half of the class, she said, you'll be evaluated on your most finished piece of pottery.
46
the group
47
that were told sheer weight what was their way of carrying
48
on every day they produced five six seven pots they tried
49
random experiments they tried weird things they tried different ideas
50
but their hands were on clay from the first moment the group
51
that were told they would be evaluated on the most finished pot.
52
They read, they thought, they talked about concepts.
53
They talked about philosophical ideas.
54
They read more.
55
They went to galleries to look at other people's pots.
56
And the first time they touched clay was about three days before the end of the class.
57
All of the best pots were made by the group that focused on weight so
58
your way of being in the pottery group
59
that was measured on weight is get the webcam going everyday
60
if you do it for 10 days you'll get a lot better if you keep it going
61
3 minutes doesn't get you very quickly to 10,000 hours
62
10,000 hours 8 hours a day is 5 years
63
four hours a day ten years two hours a day twenty years
64
but we're all going to still be alive twenty years from now even thirty years from now imagine
65
if you set a target of really practicing trying trial
66
and they say the greatest musicians when you listen to them practice it's horrible
67
when I play piano I play the pieces I know the greatest musicians
68
when they're practicing are trying things they don't already know they're trying experiments they're trying random things
69
so with the webcam don't just give your perfect speech try random things
70
because no one else has to see it you can delete it rather quickly
71
but just be careful no one gets to your PC
72
while you've got all the silly ones left on the desktop
73
so the first answer is this is a waste of time
74
if you don't decide to dedicate three minutes for the next ten days to put into practice, to experiment with some of the ideas.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
