1
Someone asks you a question in English and in the half second before you answer, you leave.
2
You go into your own language, you build the sentence there, the version that actually sounds like you, sharp and specific, and then you carry it back,
3
translate it and open your mouth.
4
Two seconds have passed.
5
The person is still waiting and the thing you finally say is smaller than what you meant.
6
Stop thinking in your language before you speak English.
7
You've heard it a hundred times.
8
Maybe a teacher said it.
9
Maybe you've said it to yourself in the middle of a conversation and it never worked once because it's not advice.
10
It's an order to stop doing something without giving you anywhere else to go.
11
You see your brain, my friend, it's not broken and your English is not the problem.
12
Something else is happening.
13
And once you see it, you can't unsee it.
14
So are you ready?
15
Well then let's jump right in part number one.
16
What's actually happening in the brain.
17
Let me explain how a habit gets built.
18
Picture a grassy field.
19
The grass is very high.
20
So the first time you walk across it, there's no path you push through.
21
It's slow.
22
You're moving your feet one step at a time.
23
You have to decide where to step.
24
Now walk the same line tomorrow and the next day and the next day.
25
And all of a sudden the grass starts to flatten a trail appears.
26
Now walk that same path for years and it becomes a dirt road.
27
You don't choose it anymore.
28
Your feet just go your feet.
29
Know where to go.
30
That is a habit.
31
The brain builds a physical route for anything you realize repeat and then hands the job over to a deeper,
32
faster part of itself.
33
So it doesn't have to think about it.
34
This is a habit.
35
You're doing the same thing over and over.
36
Why does the brain do this?
37
You see, thinking is actually expensive.
38
The brain is always trying to spend less trying to conserve energy.
39
So it looks for anything you do the same way twice and asks, Hey, can I make this automatic?
40
This is something that he or she is doing over and over again.
41
So can I make this automatic?
42
There are three parts to every habit.
43
There's a trigger.
44
Something happens.
45
Something starts the process.
46
Then there's a routine.
47
You do the thing.
48
There is something.
49
There's an action.
50
There's a behavior.
51
You have a trigger, a routine, and then a payoff.
52
A payoff is you get something out of it, whether it's relief, whether it's safety and answer,
53
or even avoided embarrassment, a trigger, a routine, a payoff.
54
You see the payoff is what tells the brain, keep this road.
55
It works.
56
This is something that brings a result, a payoff.
57
So why are these habits so hard to break?
58
You see, you can't erase a road.
59
The trail is still there.
60
Even if you stop using it, the ground stays packed.
61
Think about that example I gave earlier, the analogy a few moments ago.
62
You've walked this path so much.
63
The trail is not going anywhere.
64
Even if you don't use it every single day anymore, that trail, that path is still going to be there.
65
It fires also before you notice.
66
The habit actually starts before you even realize it.
67
The automatic part of the brain moves faster than the thinking part.
68
Listen closely.
69
The automatic part, it actually moves quicker, moves faster than the thinking part.
70
By the time you catch yourself, you're already halfway down the road because the habit is automatic.
71
Now it works.
72
This is the big one.
73
The brain doesn't keep habits because they're good.
74
It keeps them because they deliver.
75
They give a payoff.
76
Now a bad habit that produces a result beats a better habit that produces nothing yet.
77
Listen, so if there's a habit in place, automatically translating, whenever someone asks you something in English, that is the habit you want to break,
78
but it is a habit.
79
Now, when you're trying to bring in a new habit that doesn't have any results, any payoff yet the brain says nope we're going to default back to
80
that old habit even though it's the one you want to change
81
And why another reason why habits are so hard to break?
82
Willpower is the wrong tool.
83
My friend up until now you've been trying to use your willpower to break that habit.
84
I won't translate.
85
I'll think in English, but willpower is the wrong tool.
86
Don't walk down that road.
87
Don't use that path.
88
Don't use that habit.
89
This leaves you standing in the field with nowhere to go.
90
I see the path that I've always gone down, the bad habit, always translating.
91
I don't want to do that.
92
Now I'm stuck at a crossroads.
93
What do I do?
94
You see, the brain needs somewhere to go, not something to avoid.
95
So how does a habit actually change?
96
We understand how it's made.
97
We understand why it's hard to actually break it.
98
But how does a habit actually change?
99
You don't delete the old road.
100
That old road is still going to be there.
101
Instead, you have to build a new one and then you make it the easier one.
102
That old path that was the default, now you ignore it by making a new one and this new one has to be the easier one.
103
You keep the same trigger.
104
Change what happens next.
105
The trigger is there, but you have to change what happens next.
106
The new path starts as flattened grass.
107
It will feel slow.
108
It will feel clumsy and worse than the old road.
109
That's not failure though.
110
That's what new actually feels like.
111
It only becomes automatic through repetition, not intensity, frequency.
112
You have to do it over and over again.
113
You've been relying on that old path so long it's become automatic.
114
You have to change, create a new habit and repeat it over and over and over again.
115
The old road never fully disappears under stress when you're tired or when you feeling pressure,
116
your feet will find that old path again.
117
That's normal, not relapse.
118
Now we enter part number two, applying this to the translation habit.
119
Now the road that already exists, we're speaking about your habit of translating.
120
What's the trigger?
121
The trigger is someone asks you something in English.
122
Hey, how was your day?
123
Hey, what do you like doing?
124
Hey, what happened to your friend?
125
Someone asked you something in English.
126
This is the trigger.
127
Number two, though, the routine.
128
You pull the meaning into your own language.
129
We're talking about that old path, that road that exists.
130
They've asked you something in English.
131
Now comes your routine.
132
You pull the meaning into your own language.
133
You organize the full answer there.
134
Then you convert it to English.
135
You convert it into English and then you speak.
136
The routine is receive it, translate it to your own language, convert it into English, and then speak.
137
This is stressful, but this is the routine you've been following.
138
And listen, I understand when I was learning Korean, I was doing the same thing.
139
And what's the payoff?
140
You get a complete, safe, correct sounding answer and you avoid sounding foolish.
141
This is the road that already exists.
142
The trigger, the routine, the payoff.
143
Now that last part is why this habit is so strong.
144
It's not laziness, it's protection.
145
You've been protecting yourself.
146
The brain built this road because it prevents embarrassment.
147
You don't want to feel embarrassed and it has been rewarded for it.
148
Thousands upon thousands of times.
149
Someone asks you a question in English.
150
You pull the meaning into your own language.
151
You organize the full answer converted into English and you speak.
152
Yes, it takes time, but you have a complete and safe answer and you're not embarrassed.
153
You've done this thousands upon thousands of times.
154
So why just stop translating that phrase, just stop translating doesn't work.
155
Why does this not actually work for you?
156
You see, just stop translating is an instruction to avoid a road without offering a new one.
157
The moment a question arrives, the brain needs to go somewhere immediately.
158
If there's no alternative route built yet, it takes a little bit of a It takes the road it knows, well, you're not offering me anything else.
159
So I'm going to go down the translation road every time.
160
And it takes it fast because you can catch it.
161
So what has to be built instead?
162
What has to be built in order for you to stop translating and finally start thinking in English.
163
Now the trigger, someone asking you that question in English has to stay the same someone asks you a question in English.
164
What changes though is what happens in the very next second.
165
The answer has to start forming in English, not in your language before it's complete.
166
Right now, up until now, you've been wanting to speak after you have a complete answer formulated in your head.
167
No, you have to start answering, forming your answer in English, even before it's complete, before you have it fully organized, before it's safe.
168
And I know this is going to be uncomfortable, but we have to create a new road because that old road, that default road of translating into your language,
169
it's not going to work for you anymore.
170
This means the new road has to give a payoff to remember trigger routine and payoff.
171
That old road had the payoff after you follow a routine.
172
This new road we're creating.
173
It has to give a payoff to something the brain gets right now.
174
The moment stays alive.
175
The conversation keeps going.
176
You sound present instead of delayed.
177
That's the payoff.
178
The person listening to you follows along.
179
The conversation keeps going.
180
This is a payoff.
181
There's no pause where they're staring at you.
182
And here's the critical point.
183
This new road produces a worse sounding answer at first.
184
Your grammar may be incorrect.
185
You may be stuttering.
186
You may be fumbling over your words.
187
At first, your answer is going to sound worse than the old road you were following.
188
It's going to sound simpler, less impressive, and less like you.
189
That's the real barrier.
190
And it's not linguistic.
191
It has nothing to do with your English ability, the knowledge you have.
192
You see the old road hands you a polished answer that arrives too late.
193
There's too long of a pause.
194
The conversation won't flow with that old road.
195
However, even though it's uncomfortable in the beginning, the new road hands you a rough answer that arrives on time,
196
keeping the conversation moving.
197
Your brain has been trained to prefer the polished road.
198
The one that gives you this complete answer.
199
However, there's a long pause as you wait for that answer to come.
200
But my friend fluency English fluency requires preferring being on time versus preferring being perfect and complete.
201
I know it sounds weird, but stay with me.
202
Fluency requires being on time, preferring the timing over the complete response.
203
This leads us to part number three, how this new habit, this new road is built.
204
The one rule of habit change.
205
I want to tell you is this, you cannot remove a habit, that old road.
206
You can't remove it.
207
You can only replace the middle of it.
208
You see every habit again has three parts.
209
Two of them say we mentioned earlier the trigger.
210
You're going to keep this part of a habit.
211
Keep the trigger.
212
You can't stop people from asking you things in English.
213
So the trigger is going to remain for our new habit.
214
Part two, routine.
215
This is the only piece of a habit that will change.
216
Remember we have trigger, routine, and payoff.
217
The trigger, you have to keep it.
218
The routine is going to have to change.
219
And the payoff, you want to keep it.
220
The brain will not accept a swap, a change out of a habit that gives it nothing.
221
So you need the trigger and you need the payoff, the trigger and the payoff.
222
Now, most people listen closely try to change the trigger.
223
How?
224
They try to avoid the situation.
225
If they see someone coming, there's a native English speaker.
226
They try to go the other way.
227
If someone is speaking in English, they try to slowly step back.
228
They try to change the trigger by avoiding the situation or they fight the payoff.
229
Just tolerate feeling bad.
230
You see both fail though.
231
The only workable target is the middle.
232
You have to change the routine.
233
Now here's the gap.
234
You see between the trigger and the routine, there is a tiny space, half a second where the brain has not committed yet.
235
You receive the question.
236
This is the trigger.
237
The brain has not decided which road, which path to take yet in an old habit.
238
That space is invisible.
239
You automatically lean to that road, the trigger and routine feel like one motion.
240
Question is asked automatically go to my brain and I translate it in my language.
241
That feels like one motion.
242
Habit change lives entirely inside that space right in the middle.
243
Everything else is automatic.
244
The first job isn't doing something different.
245
It's noticing that the space exists.
246
Hold on.
247
Someone asks me a question and there is a short moment where my brain is trying to decide how to answer,
248
how to deal with this question.
249
That's the space you have to notice.
250
This is why awareness has to come before effort.
251
Do you recognize that short space of time after someone has asked you a question?
252
You cannot redirect a road you don't know you're on.
253
If you don't even realize that space, you just automatically go to that initial road.
254
Once you can fill the gap, that short period of time, you have a choice.
255
Before recognizing it though, you don't.
256
So how does this new routine get built?
257
Now it has to be small.
258
The brain will not adopt a large, effortful replacement.
259
It compares cost.
260
Think about that old road.
261
It's cheap.
262
It's easy.
263
You've done it so many times.
264
There's no effort.
265
There's no extra energy.
266
You're just defaulting to what is easy.
267
However, the big new road is expensive.
268
It is going to take a lot of effort.
269
If that's the case, you will always go back to the old road because it's less effort, less energy required.
270
The new routine.
271
So must be so small.
272
It barely qualifies as an action in order for your brain to switch to this new habit,
273
But this new road, it must be a small incremental change, small enough that skipping it takes more effort than doing it.
274
So it has to be tied to the same trigger.
275
What's our trigger again?
276
Someone asking you a question in English.
277
Now a new routine floating on its own is just a good idea.
278
It has to be attached to something.
279
It has to be tied to an existing trigger.
280
Our trigger again is someone asking a question in English.
281
It now will become a reflex as you're training yourself.
282
So it's the same starting point, the same doorway, just a different room.
283
We're going to a different routine.
284
Now it has to pay off immediately.
285
The brain doesn't accept promises.
286
It accepts results now.
287
So a payoff six months away is invisible to the part of the brain that runs habits.
288
You need an immediate payoff and immediate response.
289
So this new routine, this new habit, right?
290
We're forming part two, being the routine trigger, then routine has to reduce something you can feel in the same moment you do it.
291
As soon as you do this, it has to be immediate relief, momentum, the sense that something worked again.
292
Again, this is why you keep defaulting to the old habit, the old road, because there is a payoff with this new habit,
293
this new routine that has to be an immediate payoff.
294
Now, the next thing is it has to repeat more often than it has to go well.
295
So frequency builds the road.
296
Remember we started our lesson off speaking about this road,
297
this grass that you're walking through this creating this road because you're going through it over and over and over again.
298
Frequency builds this new road.
299
Quality does not.
300
This is something that as I've worked with so many English learners over the years, I have to get them to understand.
301
And I want you to understand the same thing.
302
You've been focusing on perfecting your grammar.
303
Grammar is important.
304
You've been working on making sure you use the right word, the right expression.
305
These things are important.
306
However, when you are trying to stop translating, stop going down this road and create a new road,
307
a new habit, you cannot focus on quality first.
308
You have to focus on frequency doing it over and over and over.
309
Don't worry.
310
The quality will come 20 rough repetitions, making mistakes.
311
Be too careful ones.
312
You're going to make mistakes.
313
Keep making them over and over.
314
Think about a child, a baby
315
when a baby is trying to learn how to walk those first steps those first few months are rough
316
that baby is not work walking perfectly but the baby Continues to do it over and over and over again.
317
Repetition is important.
318
And eventually that baby starts to walk.
319
Well, turned into a toddler, turned into a little kid, continues to do it over and over again, and then the quality comes.
320
This is the part that English learners get backwards.
321
They wait until they can do it well, which means they never do it often.
322
I am telling you today, if you want to create this new road, This new habit, not translating.
323
That's the default.
324
The old road is translating into your language.
325
If you want to stop translating, create this new road, you have to do it.
326
Making mistakes often, frequently, just keep going.
327
Now here's the dip that nobody warns you about.
328
There is a stretch and the hardest stretch where the new road is still grass.
329
It's slow.
330
It's awkward.
331
It's unreliable.
332
You're going to be stumbling, making mistakes.
333
You're going to feel like what's wrong with my English, but you have to keep pushing through.
334
The old road is still a highway and you kind of look back on it and say, ah, it's just so comfortable for me just to translate in my language and just go back there.
335
It feels familiar.
336
It feels faster.
337
It feels smooth sitting right there waiting for you
338
and the results from the new road are objectively worse than what the old road was producing.
339
You're at this crossroad.
340
I can just default back to translating and I'll get a complete answer.
341
Doing this new way, creating this new habit, I'm making mistakes and it doesn't feel comfortable.
342
This is the moment almost everyone,
343
almost every English learner quits and they quit for a rational sounding reason this new road isn't working.
344
I was better before.
345
That's the thought that pops in their mind.
346
They were.
347
That's what the transition looks like.
348
Getting worse temporarily is the entry fee, not a sign of failure.
349
Listen to me.
350
You making mistakes over and over again is not a sign of failure.
351
It's a sign that you're making a new path.
352
You're creating a new road.
353
And if you keep going down this new road, you will succeed.
354
Now the old road you have to remember doesn't die.
355
The old road doesn't go anywhere.
356
It stays packed down for years, kind of calling your name.
357
Hey, if you ever get nervous, come back, come back to me.
358
I have your back.
359
You can rely on me.
360
Just translate to your own language under pressure, being fatigued, or when When there are high stakes, the brain reaches for the strongest available root,
361
which is still the old one.
362
Slipping back is not starting over.
363
The new road doesn't vanish because you took the old one once.
364
Listen closely.
365
If you fall back into translating, the new road isn't going to go anywhere.
366
The habit is broken not when you stop using the old road, but when the new one becomes the first thing your feet find.
367
Listen, the old road doesn't go anywhere.
368
The new road is being created and every once in a while you're going to default back, go back to translating.
369
The new road is still there, but the habit is not broken.
370
This habit, this new habit is not grasped until it's the first thing you reach for instead of the old habit.
371
This leads us to part number four, building the new routine.
372
Remember we have the trigger, the routine and the payoff building the new routine.
373
So what the routine actually is the old routine was you hear the topic, whether it be that English question or a discussion topic,
374
you build the answer in your language, and then you convert it to English.
375
Here's the new routine, the new habit here the topic reach for a shape I've already built in English.
376
I'm going to break it down for you.
377
You see, the difference is not effort.
378
It's having somewhere to reach.
379
The reason your mother tongue wins is that it's the only place of fully organized answer already exists.
380
Of course, you've been speaking your mother tongue, your mother language, your entire life.
381
So you have organized answers already.
382
They're ready to be accessed.
383
The new routine fixes that by putting organized answers in English before the conversation happens.
384
Oh, I love teaching English.
385
When you start having ready -made answers, think about food.
386
Okay.
387
We're going to pause really quickly.
388
Think about food.
389
You have food that you can buy in a package, right?
390
You go to the store.
391
It's a frozen meal.
392
You put it in the microwave and you heat it up and it's ready to eat.
393
Then you have homemade food.
394
You have to take the ingredients and put them together.
395
It takes a bit more work.
396
What we're saying is you're going to have ready -made answers that you can just take out, pop in the microwave in your brain and then produce the response.
397
That's what the fluency panion is.
398
It's not a lesson.
399
It's a set of pre -built roads.
400
We're going to get now into the routine.
401
The routine is called the fluency panion.
402
There are four rings for the fluency panion.
403
Again, developing this new habit, this routine.
404
So there are four rings.
405
The center ring is the topic or the question.
406
Remember, we're building this new routine.
407
The center is the topic or question.
408
One thing, not a lesson, not a category, something someone actually asks you.
409
Ring number one now is the three details.
410
Facts about that topic.
411
Nothing personal, nothing evaluative, just what it is.
412
Then the second ring is your opinion plus three reasons.
413
What you think and why you think it.
414
And now we have a third ring.
415
Your personal experience plus the five W's, you know, who, what, when, where, and why.
416
Now each ring is a complete answer on its own.
417
Any of them can stand alone in a real conversation.
418
Remember we have trigger routine and payoff.
419
And right now we're creating a new routine using what we're calling the fluency panion.
420
Four rings, the center, ring one, ring two, and ring three.
421
So let's practice this now.
422
I want you to take one topic and answer it three times.
423
We're going to do this together.
424
Once through each ring out loud.
425
In order for us to create this new path, this new road, we have to use this new routine that we're calling the fluency pannion.
426
Our new routine with these three rings and this topic in the center.
427
So let's say our topic, our center topic is where did you travel to last year?
428
That's the trigger as well, right?
429
Our topic, the question, where did you travel to last year?
430
Ring one, right?
431
Ring one routine.
432
All right.
433
Three details.
434
I traveled to Cabo, Mexico.
435
It's on the Southern tip of the Baja peninsula.
436
The weather stays warm almost all year.
437
Most of the town sits right along the water.
438
We're making this path.
439
We have our routine.
440
The trigger was the question.
441
Now our first ring for this routine is state three details.
442
Now we have the next layer of our routine is ring two.
443
Our opinion plus three reasons.
444
The question again, the trigger, where did you travel to last year?
445
Now ring two is my opinion plus three reasons.
446
Ah, I traveled to Cabo, Mexico, and I think it's one of the best places to visit.
447
The beaches are beautiful and easy to get to.
448
The food is incredible and it doesn't cost much.
449
And people there are genuinely warm.
450
They made us feel welcome the whole trip.
451
I am using this new routine.
452
I'm creating this new pathway following the fluency panyan my new
453
routine the first routine again was Translate into my language then converted to English.
454
No, I'm not translating.
455
I'm using my new routine This fluency panyan with the rings
456
now ring number three is Personal experience plus the five W's who what when where and why what's the trigger?
457
What's the topic again?
458
Question, where did you travel to last year?
459
Ring 3 is personal experience plus the 5 W's who, what, when, where, why.
460
Answer, I traveled to Cabo last summer with two of my closest friends.
461
We spent most of the week near the water, swimming in the ocean, walking through the little shops in town at night.
462
We went because one of us had just finished a hard year at work and needed to get away.
463
It ended up being the calmest I'd felt in a long time.
464
What did we just do?
465
We have these packages now.
466
If anyone ever asks me about my trip or what I did last year, I've already organized the information.
467
I have organized information in my language.
468
That's that first road.
469
But I'm trying to create this new routine.
470
So I'm practicing using the fluency panion to create this new road.
471
I'm going down it.
472
Ring one details, ring two opinion, plus three reasons, ring three personal experience,
473
plus the five W's I'm making this pathway going down this way, making this new road, using this new routine, the fluency panion.
474
You make sense, right?
475
Let's say there's a different topic.
476
Can we still use the same path?
477
This path is topic details, opinion, plus reasons, then experience plus five W.
478
So let's say the topic changes the trigger.
479
What do you do for work?
480
That's the trigger.
481
Can I use the same pathway?
482
Ring one, three details.
483
Ah, I work at a logistics company.
484
I handle the scheduling side.
485
So I'm mostly dealing with delivery windows and driver routes.
486
It's a mid -sized company around 200 people.
487
I've been there about four years now.
488
Three details.
489
I'm going down this new pathway, making this new routine, had the trigger, but my routine is no longer to translate.
490
My routine is to follow the fluency opinion.
491
Ring number one.
492
Now ring number two, opinion plus three reasons.
493
The trigger, what do you do for work?
494
Ring two, opinion plus three reasons.
495
I work in logistics and I actually really like it, which surprises people.
496
The problems change every day.
497
So I'm never bored.
498
I can see the results of my work immediately.
499
Either the shipment lands on time or it doesn't.
500
And my team is small enough that everyone knows what everyone else is dealing with.
501
Now ring number three, we're going down this pathway.
502
We are building a strong pathway.
503
Now personal experience plus the five W's who, what, when, where, and why.
504
What's the trigger question again?
505
What do you do for work?
506
Now ring three.
507
I ended up in logistics almost by accident.
508
Four years ago, a friend told me her company was short -staffed and asked if I'd cover for a few months.
509
I took it because I needed the work and I figured I'd leave by the summer.
510
Then one week we lost half our drivers to a storm and I spent three days rebuilding every route from scratch.
511
That's the week I realized I was good at it.
512
I never left.
513
We're building a new routine following the fluency panion.
514
Listen, I no longer have to translate.
515
I'm following this routine.
516
Topic or trigger ring one detail ring two.
517
Yes.
518
Excellent.
519
Opinion plus three reasons.
520
Ring three.
521
Yes, personal experience plus the five W's.
522
What about this topic?
523
What did you do this weekend?
524
Ring one, my routine, three details.
525
I stayed home mostly.
526
I finally cleaned out the closet I'd been ignoring since January.
527
I cooked instead of ordering food and slept in both mornings, which almost never happens.
528
Three details.
529
I'm going down this path again.
530
Now ring two opinion plus three reasons.
531
I had a quiet weekend and honestly, I think quiet weekends are underrated.
532
I get to catch up on things that have been sitting there for weeks.
533
I actually rest instead of coming back to Monday exhausted and I don't have to be on for anyone, which I need more than I like to admit.
534
We are making this new path, this new routine following the fluency panion.
535
Ring one, three details.
536
Ring two, opinion plus three reasons.
537
Ring three, personal experience plus the five W's.
538
What's the trigger again?
539
What did you do this weekend?
540
Now ring three, personal experience plus the five W's.
541
Who, what, when, where, why?
542
On Saturday, my sister called and asked if she could come over.
543
So she and her daughter showed up around noon.
544
We didn't do anything special.
545
We made lunch, sat on the floor, and my niece made us watch the same cartoon three times.
546
She stayed until it got dark.
547
I've been planning to spend the whole weekend alone and it turned out to be the best part of it.
548
Same topic.
549
Three complete answers.
550
Three separate roads.
551
Why?
552
Three details.
553
Yes.
554
Excellent.
555
Come on now.
556
Opinion plus three reasons.
557
Or you can do personal experience plus the five W's.
558
We have these three roads to go down.
559
Again, helping you think in English.
560
Now why three and not one?
561
Why do we have this fluency painting that gives us three options?
562
You see one answer is a script, but three answers form into a habit.
563
I kept saying we're going down this new road, but this new road has three different paths.
564
It's actually three roads.
565
One answer is simply a script.
566
If you practice a topic one way.
567
You've memorized a sentence when the conversation shifts, when someone asks why instead of what the sentence doesn't fit
568
and you fall back to your language to build a new one.
569
Three ways means the topic has three exits.
570
Whatever direction the conversation goes, one of these three will fit.
571
More importantly,
572
your brain stops storing the answer and start storing the topic as a whole with three ways out of it already attached.
573
You see, my friend, it teaches the brain to search in English.
574
The old habit is a search.
575
The moment a topic appears, your brain asks, where do I find an organized version of this?
576
It looks in the place where organized answers live.
577
So every time you build three answers in English, as you practice, you're moving inventory from the old road to the three new roads.
578
You're putting everything, you're putting everything in English.
579
You're organizing things in English where the search can be found.
580
Hey, I'm going to search in this area.
581
Now, eventually the search stops leaving the language because it doesn't have to.
582
Instead of it leaving English, it now knows, Hey, I have three options, three roads I can go down.
583
Now this breaks the dependence and it helps you start to give complete answers in English.
584
Your mother tongue is attractive because it gives you the whole answer before you speak, you have organized answers.
585
They're ready for you.
586
Three rings do the same job, but each ring is small enough that you can start speaking before you know how it ends.
587
Ah, I know the first ring, three details.
588
I know the second ring.
589
Okay.
590
I can give my personal opinion and three reasons.
591
Ah, the third ring, I can give my personal experience and five W's.
592
Ring one needs three facts.
593
Ring two needs one opinion.
594
Ring three needs one memory.
595
None of them require you to have the finished paragraph in your head first.
596
This is why this new routine will work for you.
597
So what does this look like in a real conversation?
598
Someone asks about your travel.
599
You don't build the answer in your old way, following the old routine, going to your mother tongue.
600
You now reach for the answer.
601
If you want facts, if you want to give them facts, ring one is already there.
602
If they want your take your opinion, your thoughts ring two is already there.
603
If they want a story ring three, your personal experience is already there.
604
You're not translating faster.
605
You're not translating at all because the answer was already in English before the question arrived.
606
Ring one, ring two, ring three, ring three, my friend, that's the whole mechanism.
607
The practice happens in advance, mastering each of these rings.
608
The conversation just collects it.
609
Stop thinking in your language, stop translating and finally create your new road using your three rings.

דקדוק בסרטון הזה
המבנים שהדובר משתמש בהם הכי הרבה, עם המילים המדויקות מהסרטון:
| מבנה | בסרטון |
|---|---|
| הווה מושלם ממושך (Present perfect continuous) have/has been + -ing — פעולה שהתחילה בעבר ועדיין נמשכת עכשיו | you've been trying · You've been relying · you've been following |
| משפטי תנאי (Conditional sentences) if + clause, will/would + verb — תנאי ותוצאה שלו | If that's the case, you will always |
| הווה מושלם (Present perfect) have/has + past participle — פעולה שקרתה בעבר ועדיין יש לה חשיבות או השפעה עכשיו | have passed · You've heard · you've said |
| סביל (Passive voice) be + past participle — הדגש הוא על מה שקורה, לא על מי שעושה את הפעולה | has been rewarded · be built · has been trained |
הגייה ששווה לשים לב אליה
הדובר משתמש ב-132 קיצורים וצורות מקוצרות, כמו you're, we're, I'm. אמרו אותם בצורה הקצרה, כפי שאתם שומעים אותם.
- הצלילים של “sh” ו-“zh”: repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, polish /ˈpɑ.lɪʃ/, shipment /ˈʃɪpmənt/, foolish /ˈfuː.lɪʃ/, rational /ˈɹæʃ(ə)nəl/
- מילים ארוכות — שימו לב להטעמה: repetition /ˌɹɛp.əˈtɪʃ.ən/, embarrassment /ɪmˈbæɹ.əs.mənt/, invisible /ɪnˈvɪzəb(ə)l/, uncomfortable /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, evaluative /ɪˈvæl.ju.ə.tɪv/
צלילים שדוברי עברית מתקשים בהם:
- /w/ — שפתיים מעוגלות, לא /v/: pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, willpower /ˈwɪlˌpaʊɚ/, microwave /ˈmaɪkɹoʊˌweɪv/, doorway /ˈdɔɹweɪ/, linguistic /lɪŋˈɡwɪstɪk/
- /æ/ — פתוח יותר מה-“אֶ” העברית, לא כמו “a” ב-“cup”: habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, pathway /ˈpæθˌweɪ/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, flatten /ˈflæ.tən/
- /r/ — הלשון לא נוגעת בשום מקום, לא ה-“ר” הגרונית: trigger /ˈtɹɪɡɚ/, translate /tɹænzˈleɪt/, learner /ˈlɜɹnəɹ/, organize /ˈɔɹɡənaɪz/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/
איך לתרגל עם הסרטון הזה
- הקשיבו לכל הסרטון פעם אחת בלי לדבר, ורשמו את המילים שאתם לא מכירים.
- תרגלו Shadowing משפט אחר משפט במהירות רגילה, וחזרו על כל משפט עד שהקצב שלכם תואם את הדובר.
- הקליטו את עצמכם והשוו למקור, תוך תשומת לב למילים כמו habit, trigger, translate.
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.
