1
Why do people fear feedback?
2
They're fearful feedback because what does that say about me, my self -worth, my capability?
3
If you're a person who is not at the levels of action that you know you could be, if you're always procrastinating, overwhelmed, or telling the world what's because it's not perfect,
4
the reality is you're scared of feedback.
5
You're scared of what's going to say about you and you're scared about whether people like you.
6
If you are struggling with procrastination, if you're struggling with slow self -esteem, if you're struggling with overwhelm,
7
if you're struggling all the time with this concept of perfectionism, I want you to think about this.
8
We're going to give you a new phrase and we're going to give this simple phrase.
9
We're going to call it ship.
10
This means we're going to go into momentum.
11
We're going to go into progress mode.
12
We're going to ship the things.
13
Ship means complete it.
14
Like ship the project, get it done.
15
Put it out there.
16
Put it out to sea.
17
Like the boat can't stay in harbor forever.
18
Ship it.
19
Get it out there.
20
So much of life can be changed if we just complete the thing, put it out there, and learn.
21
What happened with the perfectionist mindset is we fool ourselves.
22
Until it's 100%, Brendan, I'm not releasing it.
23
Until I have 100 % information, I'm not doing the thing.
24
I'm not taking the action.
25
I love to remind people of this Jeff Bezos quote, where when he was at Amazon,
26
he shared that one of the things that made Amazon so incredible at the time, and its huge growth curve, was as an executive team, they would often only have maybe 60,
27
maybe 70 % of the information to make a decision.
28
And they made the decision anyway.
29
They didn't wait for 100 % complete.
30
They had just enough.
31
could you do something that's really hard right now for all my perfectionists in the room
32
it's gonna hurt I just want you to write with this it's gonna be very hard just enough
33
just enough I have just enough information to move
34
another phrase that you're gonna hate get ready it's good enough not perfect I'm gonna ship it It's good enough, it's never gonna be perfect.
35
It's good enough, I'm gonna ship it and I'm gonna learn.
36
This is all under the guise of a learning mindset.
37
This is all under the instruction of turning from a perfectionist,
38
turning from perfection into iteration will change your life forever.
39
It's the most important thing I could ever give you.
40
Adopting the learning mindset.
41
I'm going to ship, then I'm going to learn.
42
Then I'm going to perfect.
43
Remember, perfectionism doesn't mean it's perfect.
44
The root phrase of perfect is to complete
45
or to perfect as a verb to perfect right to perfect
46
means oh well i need to do the thing right i need to do the thing
47
or complete the thing and then perfect it in motion perfect it as it gets better
48
if you will do this the most radical thing happens you start earlier if you start earlier you get more intel.
49
The more you get intel and feedback, the more you can perfect and tweak and get it better.
50
The only chance of you ever getting something too perfect, if that exists, is to ship it now and perfect it in motion.
51
Perfection actually takes iteration.
52
To get something close to great, you have to have like 12 versions of it.
53
It's not the first light bulb, it's the thousandth light bulb.
54
That make sense?
55
You have to ship and iterate and try and explode the light bulbs a little bit to find the answer.
56
That's so important.
57
Your light bulb moment today is to take action sooner.
58
Get in action and become what?
59
Flexible become adaptive.
60
This is what we're trying to do.
61
We're trying to get you into an adaptive and flexible mode of operation.
62
If we can't get you adaptive, flexible, momentum in the right direction, then you're just going to stay stuck.
63
That's it.
64
You'll just be stuck.
65
I know this is obvious, but this is not people's behavior.
66
You will say, of course, Brendan, I know that, but is it behavior?
67
That's what we have to talk about.
68
This is not like, do I know these concepts, Brendan?
69
The question is, what's the behavior?
70
Let me show you a very simple way to get into ship and learn.
71
If I think of anything in my life, it's always ship and learn.
72
It's like, do the thing.
73
Do the thing sooner, learn sooner.
74
And that's so important.
75
So here's your new framework, early action.
76
I take this for granted when I teach it.
77
I know you already do too, but the truth is the smartest people in the world in Silicon Valley, they have this phrase, it's like, just ship the MVP.
78
Just like, what's the minimal viable product?
79
Why do you have to teach engineers, some of the smartest people in the world, why do you think you have to teach an engineer about MVPs?
80
Why do you think you have to teach an entrepreneur or a founder about the value of a minimal viable product?
81
Why?
82
Because smart people will rationalize themselves into delay.
83
Smart people will rationalize themselves into delay.
84
Did you know high IQ people tend to come up with more reasons not to do something?
85
And so they just don't.
86
It's like, you might know really smart people.
87
You're like, why doesn't she do anything?
88
She's so smart because she's so smart.
89
Because when you're so smart, you can rationalize all of the catastrophes oncoming.
90
You can anticipate everything going wrong.
91
And if there's so many things going wrong, or you can anticipate all the other opportunities that would be missed, FOMO, oh wait, all these things can go wrong.
92
I can think through them.
93
All the things will be missed, FOMO. And now you're stuck.
94
You follow?
95
When FOMO meets tons of possible problems, you just don't move.
96
Even though you're rational about it, the problem is you're not progressing.
97
I know a lot of smart people who are stuck because they can see all the FOMO angles, all the competing interests or opportunities,
98
and they can see all the problems, all the potential catastrophes.
99
They're actually probably right about many of them, but they're wrong about most of them because it's distorted, rigid thinking.
100
What we need to do is go, it's good enough.
101
Good enough ships or moves into a huge,
102
important area, which is now we're going to get feedback.
103
If you want to change your life, I mean, literally forever, you're going to be a person who starts really caring about getting feedback.
104
Your fear here is compliance.
105
Well, if I get feedback, if they don't like it, what does that mean about me?
106
No, you don't want feedback because you want adequacy or acceptance?
107
I want you to think about it.
108
Why do people fear feedback?
109
They're fearful feedback because what does that say about me,
110
my self -worth, my deservedness, my capability, right?
111
And will they like me?
112
Will I be accepted?
113
Will I fit in?
114
Will I belong?
115
Will I be promoted?
116
Will I have status?
117
So most people have been taught to frame feedback on adequacy and acceptance.
118
Am I good?
119
Do they like it?
120
Am I good?
121
Do they like it?
122
And that is why I'm just letting you know, you probably don't ship.
123
If you're a person who is not at the levels of action that you know you could be, if not making progress at the levels you know you can be,
124
if you feel stuck, if you're always procrastinating, overwhelmed, or telling the world what's because it's not perfect, the reality is you're scared of feedback.
125
You're scared of what it's going to say about you, and you're scared about whether people like you.
126
I wish we could teach all teenagers this.
127
There's a direct correlation.
128
I want you to listen closely.
129
If you're not shipping, you're not finishing the book and putting it out there.
130
You're not launching the project, putting it out there.
131
You're not making the proposal to the boss, putting it out there.
132
It's happening because you don't have the learning mindset.
133
You're not taking early action.
134
Why?
135
You're scared about the feedback, about what it says about you or acceptance.
136
But we're going to change your psychology for the rest of your life today.
137
Putting something out there has nothing to do with my identity.
138
and putting out something out there has nothing to do with do they like me
139
i put something out there for one cause what's the next
140
right action of integrity what did i learn from shipping it that's it what i learned so
141
if i write a chapter i'm unsure i don't like it
142
instead of beating up myself i'm a bad writer i'm right
143
i'm like i take the chapter it's kind of crappy i
144
send it to three friends i go hey just tell me
145
how to progress from here how do you think give me some feedback.
146
I don't fear the feedback about me as a writer.
147
I don't feel the feedback or the concern about the book not succeeding.
148
I'm literally putting something out there to get the intel to make it better.
149
Once you've adopted this in your life, everything will change.
150
Like everything will change.
151
There's no fear anymore.
152
Perfectionism, when it's super distorted, is that I'm not going to meet the standard they all have, or I'm not going to meet my own standard.
153
It's an inadequacy thing.
154
That's where that's coming from.
155
The perfectionism is these two things.
156
Distortion.
157
I'm worried about my adequacy.
158
And I'm worried about fitting in.
159
But see, that's personal, isn't it?
160
Adequacy.
161
Am I adequate?
162
That's personal.
163
Will they accept me?
164
That's personal.
165
Stop.
166
Don't go into personal.
167
go into progress make sense is it personal or is about progress
168
if you start making life about progress okay what's the better
169
direction here what's the improvement now everything changes watch what happens if now instead of personal
170
and again this is am i adequate and do i fit in and we just move into no
171
how do I make the next right step now?
172
So now I'm looking for progress.
173
What does that mean?
174
I'm looking for direction.
175
I'm looking for momentum.
176
I'm looking for improvement.
177
So I'm going to put something out earlier than I usually do because I'm not worried that it meets this crazy, perfect, complete standard.
178
Instead, I actually want to elevate it to that standard.
179
I know the first thing I'm releasing is not up there, but I got to put the floor in before I can build the ceiling.
180
You ever heard that?
181
I got to put the floor.
182
I got to build the foundation before the ceiling.
183
Put the foundation is, get the intel, and build up to a high standard.
184
See, excellence doesn't wait to get in motion.
185
Excellence wants early action.
186
The earlier the action i put out there the more direction i can get from people who give me feedback
187
the more momentum now i know what to do oh that's the direction i know what to do go
188
more momentum and now improvement how do i keep iterating
189
and step up step up to the standard your job is
190
to step up to the standard oh release the mvp get feedback find the direction from the feedback.
191
Iterate.
192
Improve.
193
Now, step up.
194
That's improve.
195
Step it up.
196
So when I go out to speak, I know my first speeches, I knew they were going to be terrible.
197
So I put myself in front of speeches.
198
I'm like, wow, I'm going to suck at this.
199
I'm not a good speaker.
200
All the I am stuff, right?
201
I'm not a good speaker.
202
I'm not charismatic.
203
I'm not a good communicator.
204
And I was like, instead of being low self -esteem about it, I was like, well, I just had, I don't the skills for those that's why i don't get
205
to experience them i don't have the skill how do i
206
get the skill early action feedback improvement hey my friend sun is going down behind me
207
and i just want to thank you for watching my youtube channel you know
208
so many of my subscribers are always asking me brendan how do i go to another level of my life
209
and stay consistent in my personal development
210
and really get progress you know we all want to be more motivated more productive more confident.
211
We want to be better leaders.
212
We want to be better at our craft.
213
But how do you do that on a consistent basis?
214
Well, that's why I built Growth Day.
215
It's an app that you can use that builds your personal growth streak.
216
That every day you come in and you do a series of actions
217
and you listen to some inspirational training and life strategies that advances your life.
218
It's very hard to stay consistent in your life.
219
I know sometimes you watch a YouTube video, You read a book here, you listen to a podcast there, but you're not developing your habits.
220
You're not scoring yourself.
221
You're not finding real progress and insight that kind of wows you and opens up to, I say, the awe and the real agency that you have in life.
222
So please go to Growth Day in the App Store.
223
Just go to the App Store, go to Growth Day or go to growthday .com and get Growth Day.
224
I promise you with your seven day free trial, you'll go through a growth day and in seven days you're gonna be like totally, totally like feeling fired up,
225
but also you'll find a new momentum.
226
Cause every day as you do your growth streak, you start to really discover what you're made of.
227
And we access different parts of your brain.
228
You're listing something inspirational.
229
You're doing a checklist or doing a journal prompt that blows your mind.
230
You're scoring your habits and reflecting on your day in ways you've never done before.
231
We're basically taking all of personal development and putting it into a streak that you'll get like totally addicted to.
232
You'll be addicted to that progress, that growth, that joy and energy that you deserve to feel every day.
233

235
Every day is a great day to grow, but you have to stay consistent to get real progress and to really change your life.
236
Go to growthday .com or go to the app store and get the Growth Day app right now.
237
And I stepped up from, you know, five, 10 people in a room to a class full of people,
238
to a lunch cafeteria, to a theater,
239
to, you know, seminar stages, conferences, to arenas.
240
step up.
241
You're just stepping up in skill.
242
But if you don't release or start, you never step up in skill.
243
So progress begins with a very simple idea.
244
I'm going to step up to the standard.
245
An unfair standard is I'm supposed to be there now.
246
A rational standard is I'll build myself up to that.
247
I'll build the foundation, I'll build the walls, and I'll get to the ceiling.
248
That make sense?
249
It will completely change your life.
250
You will move so much faster.
251
If you don't move faster after watching this, watch it again and identify where is the problem here.
252
Most often, the problem, so number one was the adopt the learning mindset.
253
Number two, most often, we have to have self -talk and we have to be proactive active,
254
we have to be positive, and gasp, perfectionists, we have to be praising.
255
First, I really want you to understand, self -talk must be proactive.
256
If your self -talk is reactive, this is why you're stuck.
257
You do something and your brain hits you with mean words, and you're like, ugh, your brain hits you with criticism them.
258
We want to be proactive with it.
259
We go, okay, Brendan, you're going to go on the stage.
260
You're going to feel the nerves.
261
You're going to feel the anxiety.
262
And that's completely normal.
263
But what you're trying to do is get an effect out in this audience.
264
You're trying to serve this mission.
265
You're serving this impact.
266
Please allow me to extend and express my strengths and my knowledge and my support and love of these people.
267
God, please allow me to do that.
268
And I start talking to myself proactively.
269
It's proactive.
270
If you're backstage and all of a sudden your mind is running amok, that's the opposite of proactive.
271
You're just in default fear mode.
272
You're just letting anything hit you.
273
Don't let things hit you.
274
You need to take conscious control of your self -talk.
275
You need to speak to yourself.
276
And lots of people have different ways.
277
Some Some people, they've learned to speak to themselves in narrative form, like they tell a story to themselves.
278
Other people, they use affirmations.
279
It's more like sentence, like short, burst, sentences, affirmations.
280
Other people, they coach themselves in their self -talk.
281
That's what I do.
282
What should you be saying to yourself?
283
What do you want to do?
284
What is the focus now? now.
285
It's telling yourself with words, please notice with words internally, what should I focus on?
286
What should I say to myself?
287
Where do I want to steer myself when this negative thing happens?
288
Because the negative thing will probably happen.
289
You're totally going to fail.
290
You're definitely going to fall.
291
And what do you do?
292
Look at all the learnings came from it.
293
Look at the impression.
294
Look at the demonstration.
295
Look at you.
296
You did what you said we're going to do.
297
So I'm coaching myself.
298
Does that make sense?
299
And last, praising.
300
You have to praise yourself more often when you don't meet the expectation.
301
So back to the perfectionist.
302
If you don't meet the expectation, but real effort was there, you got to praise that and go, you know what?
303
I gave my best.
304
I tried.
305
I, you know what?
306
Next time I'll be more prepared or more skilled, but I'm in the hunt.
307
I'm in motion.
308
See, one of the reasons we don't praise ourselves is we believe that praise comes with finality.
309
We only get praise when we're done.
310
We only get praise when we get status, possessions, awards, the good look, the good picture, the final accolade.
311
It's like, no, no, no. The most important part of praise is praising yourself on, not praising yourself for.
312
Let me say it again, the most important part of praise is praising yourself on, not praising yourself for.
313
It's easy.
314
Lots of people praise themselves when they get the thing, but your job is to praise effortful diligence.
315
Good job today.
316
I put in the reps.
317
I'm not stronger now.
318
I didn't suddenly look better in the mirror, but I put in the reps.
319
I'm putting in the reps and I'm going to integrate that win.
320
I'm going to integrate the effortful duties of my day.
321
So I feel strong and capable about myself.
322
I just know that I'm in progress.
323
And being in progress deserves its own praise.
324
Being in progress, not achieving a thing, being in progress.
325
A lot of people procrastinate because they've never felt good in their life until the thing was done.
326
I don't procrastinate because I enjoy doing the thing.
327
Does that make sense?
328
It's destination thinking versus journey thinking.
329
I need you to be a journeyman, a person who on the journey is praising yourself, praising other people, praising God.
330
Like we're enjoying the journey, not waiting for the end complete and perfect result that will never happen.
331
I'm enjoying stepping up to the standards, even though I know I'm three steps down.
332
I'm enjoying the step up.
333
Does that make sense?
334
I'm enjoying the skill up.
335
I'm enjoying the service as it's happening.
336
I'm enjoying it, not waiting for it one day.
337
So I have more fun than other people.
338
And the crazy thing is, because I have more fun than other people, I'm in flow more than other people.
339
And that's why I come back to this praising part on self -talk.
340
Now, this is very important.
341
And I left this off for a reason.
342
There's another piece of your self -talk.
343
So it's proactive.
344
Do not wait to fill your mind with conscious thoughts.
345
Do not fill them with negative reaction.
346
Instead, be positive even while you address what's not right.
347
You can say, you know, I'm going to fall off this wire.
348
And that will, but I climbed i tried they saw it i could do it again
349
so don't pretend the negative won't be there instead say
350
when it's there what will i do same thing
351
when i work with marathon runners i go listen at mile
352
12 your knees are going to fall out your body it's going to feel terrible
353
and they're like yeah it's probably gonna be true i'm like okay well you already know
354
that difficulty is going to be encountered the difficulty is going
355
to be your knees are going to hurt you're not going
356
to feel as fluid as you want to be you might not have the pace
357
and timing that you wanted you might feel like really hot
358
or uncomfortable when those things happen what will you say to yourself
359
well say don't say my knees don't hurt it's like well
360
if your knees are hurting it's like you know what
361
that shows i'm running i can't wait to see i can push past this
362
and achieve something
363
that millions of people are going to achieve today in this
364
run like literally people are going to push past the fact
365
that their knees kind of hurt that's the whole point of marathon we're going to go beyond what's comfortable.
366
That's the point.
367
Okay.
368
Yes, that's true.
369
But the point is, I'm going to complete this thing.
370
I'm going to be so happy when I complete this thing.
371
People are going to be jumping and praising and jumping.
372
And you know what?
373
Keep going, Brendan.
374
You're doing a good job.
375
Everything's going to turn out right.
376
You're strong.
377
You're invincible.
378
You're going to keep going.
379
You're going to...
380
You see?
381
I'm praising.
382
I'm praising.
383
I'm praising.
384
This is important.
385
Those who fall to social compliance, and again, social compliance is you tell everyone they have to do it your way,
386
or you feel diminished if you don't do it their way, meet their standards.
387
In your self -talk, I need you to start listening for your self -talk.
388
Is it proactive?
389
Is it positive in terms of facing your challenges?
390
Is it praising of self or maybe others or even God?
391
But I think it's important that we also put this word back in. is it pro -social?
392
Oh, this is the hard one for the perfectionist.
393
This is the hard one for the leader.
394
This is the hard one for the person who has to deal with other people who have different values than you.
395
Pro -social.
396
We have to get your humanness back.
397
We have to get your love of other people back.
398
We have to get your connection to the world,
399
a sense of oneness, a sense of appreciation and gratitude and real care, compassion, love for other people.
400
We've got to get that back.
401
You know, the truth about perfectionism, the truth about low self -esteem,
402
the truth about a lot of procrastination and overwhelm is they are self -centered concerns.
403
And they become self -centered in such a way they're antagonistic to self, but they're also antagonistic to other people.
404
If I do this, they're going to judge me.
405
Why even try?
406
F them, right?
407
Why even give an F about these people?
408
Well, when that's your family and that's your team and that's the people you're on mission with in life, guess what?
409
You pull out of the mission, you pull out of the team, you pull out of the conversations with people.
410
A lot of the world's self -talk, your inner dialogue about other people can become social mediaized.
411
It means it can become divisive, right?
412
All the people on the left is this way.
413
All the people on the right is this way.
414
So F them.
415
The funny thing is the higher you get in your success, the more antisocial conversation can happen.
416
They all have no standards.
417
They suck.
418
They're never going to be as good as me.
419
They don't care.
420
If you tell yourself that story, if that is going on in your head over and over and over and over and over and over and over again,
421
that's why you don't move forward, right?
422
You're not overwhelmed with your tasks.
423
You're overwhelmed with disappointment.
424
Let's say it again.
425
You're not overwhelmed with your tasks.
426
You're overwhelmed with your disappointment about other people.
427
You're not procrastinating because you can't do the thing.
428
You're procrastinating because of your worry about other people.
429
And it's really important to think about that.
430
Your low self -esteem isn't just because your internal angst.
431
It's because how you think other people perceive you.
432
Your perfectionist for your high standards isn't just your high standards, it's how you want to be perceived in pursuit of your standards by other people.
433
And if other people are bad, and all those causes, and other people cause delay, and problem, and they suck, and they're the root of the problem,
434
and other people are just terrible, they don't have the standards, or they'll judge you.
435
They have contempt for you.
436
If you have this story and the self -talk in your head, and you believe that is true, I'm here to tell you, you have distorted thinking.
437
It is not true.
438
Come hang out in a group of mastermind or high performers one day in your life.
439
Get around exceptional people and you'll stop this story.
440
You're just, you're like, your story about other people really matters.
441
The problem is your story has usually been defined around the circle of influence that just happened to be there.
442
Versus make sure you're getting around lots of different types of people and you'll start to realize people are amazing.
443
A huge part of my success in life is like, I think you're amazing.
444
When I think about higher standards or things I'm doing, I know that you and I are on an ascendant path.
445
I know even if you were stuck, even if you hate life, even if things have gone wrong, even if there's a lot of negativity, I know you can transform.
446
I'm pro -social.
447
I believe in you.
448
I believe in other people.
449
If you actually understood the capability of change of people beyond the story that you might've had,
450
then your optimism for the future would be so extraordinary.
451
People are like, Brennan, how can you be so optimistic about the future?
452
You must have lots of self -confidence.
453
I'm like, actually, yeah, I guess I have self -confidence, but I think people are humans and they're amazing.
454
The human story is one of extraordinary evolution, not just biological evolution, capability,
455
technology, communication, scaling of our, not only our technology and our tools, but scaling of our collaborations around the world.
456
The ability to go beyond our human impulses that make us feel terrible,
457
to feel better, to take back conscious control of our lives,
458
to do things that are difficult and courageous and struggling through.
459
That human aspirational story, that's your story.
460
even if you feel stuck.
461
Yes, there are situations that suck.
462
Yes, there are realities of the world that are very, very, very, very difficult.
463
But if that's all you ever talk about in your mind, that's why you procrastinate.
464
You're hopeless.
465
You don't have hope.
466
You don't have faith in other people.
467
And almost all hope and almost all faith in other people comes down to being, we didn't condition ourselves to honor, respect, cheer on, and praise other people.
468
The more you can honor, respect, praise, connect, collaborate, cheer on, and lead other people, the more you have hope, the more you're like, we can change things.
469
Small groups of people change the world all the frigging time.
470
Why not let that be you?
471
Why not identify those people around you?
472
Because if you are so self centered into procrastination, overwhelmed, you are always in your story of, I need to get it perfect.
473
They won't get it right.
474
I'm not judged.
475
I'm good enough.
476
And you're always inside versus is recognizing like, wow, we're on this path together.
477
And history has proven only one clear arc, and that's a growth in abundance and a growth in human collaboration,
478
a growth in human technology, a human improvement.
479
If you can't see human improvement in yourself and other people, you will be stuck.
480
But when you see that progress is just there, lots of people go in the right direction.
481
Lots of people want positive momentum.
482
Lots of people really want to change.
483
It's like, Wow, you know, it's a different world.

About This Lesson
In this lesson, you’ll practice understanding and using a growth-oriented mindset while improving your English speaking and listening skills—perfect for IELTS speaking practice. The video explores how perfectionism holds people back and introduces actionable phrases to shift to a "ship, learn, iterate" approach. You’ll learn to follow conversational flow, mimic natural tone, and use key phrases that can boost your fluency in real-life discussions.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Ship (verb): To complete and release a project or task, e.g., "I need to ship my essay by Friday."
- Perfectionism (noun): The tendency to demand flawless results, often causing delay, e.g., "Her perfectionism made her rewrite the email 10 times."
- Iteration (noun): The process of improving something through repeated adjustments, e.g., "The app got better with each iteration."
- Intel (informal, noun): Information or feedback, e.g., "We gathered intel from users to fix the issue."
- "Good enough, not perfect" (phrase): A mindset that prioritizes progress over flawlessness, e.g., "I’ll submit the report—good enough, not perfect."
Practice Tips
To master the video’s tone and speed, try the shadowing technique: Play a 5-second clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, mimicking the speaker’s rhythm and emphasis. The speaker uses a conversational pace with pauses for emphasis—notice how they stress words like "ship" and "learn" to highlight key ideas. For improve english pronunciation, focus on the reduced "it’s" in "it’s good enough" and the clear "sh" sound in "ship." Use a shadowing site to record yourself and compare—you’ll notice how small tweaks in intonation make your speech sound more natural. Remember, the goal isn’t to copy perfectly but to practice flowing like a native. Start with short sections, and gradually build up to longer clips—you’ll be surprised how quickly your fluency improves!

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.
