1
Learning English isn't just learning words.
2
You learn words to express yourself, to share your personality, your humour and your opinions.
3
And that's why many English learners feel frustrated when they learnt English for so many years at school,
4
Yet, when it comes to a real conversation, You can't speak.
5
So, If you can understand English, but you struggle to speak it, we are going to fix that today.
6
Before I give you the full answer, let me show you a very simple example.
7
I love tennis.
8
I'm a big fan of tennis.
9
And at the moment, I've been watching a tennis tournament called Queens, which is in London.
10
- The President and the President, I could watch tennis every day.
11
But here's a question for you.
12
Does watching tennis every day automatically make me a good tennis player.
13
I wish!
14
Exactly.
15
Learning English actually requires two different skills.
16
We have understanding English and producing English.
17
Input. and outputs.
18
Right now you are practicing input.
19
You are listening to me speaking.
20
you are understanding What I'm saying, and you are immersing yourself in the language.
21
But speaking English is different.
22
when you speak.
23
You have to create the language yourself. So...
24
understanding English doesn't automatically mean you can speak English well.
25
just like me watching tennis, doesn't automatically mean I can play tennis well.
26
We learn by doing.
27
Before we talk about speaking, we need to understand the importance of input. for immersion.
28
What is immersion?
29
Immersion means surrounding yourself in English through videos, through podcasts, books and articles.
30
Immersion is how I learned language as a baby.
31
It's how you learned language as a baby.
32
We listened and we absorbed before We spoke. So?
33
Let's use our environment right now to immerse ourselves in English.
34
up here.
35
These are lanterns.
36
and they are casting Shadows.
37
on the floor.
38
This is a shadow.
39
The lantern is blocking the sun's lights, which creates a shadow on the floor.
40
just like the shadow that follows you. when you walk.
41
Thank you. to my right. is hedge.
42
And behind the hedge, is a white wall.
43
Above that is a blue window frame.
44
and above me is a security camera or a CCTV camera.
45
I wonder what it's watching.
46
These are sunbeds.
47
or sun loungers.
48
on the Sun lounges We have two other words.
49
that have sun in them.
50
This is Sun cream.
51
Or in America, they say, Sunscreen. And these at sunglasses.
52
The verb we use for sunglasses is to - On set.
53
Ah, ah, ah, there we go.
54
to put on.
55
I just put on my sunglasses.
56
Not very well.
57
And we use the same verb for sun cream.
58
You put on sun cream.
59
This sun cream is in a spray bottle.
60
Thanks.
61
Thanks.
62
I'm spraying the sun cream.
63
I can put it on.
64
or apply it.
65
Now, Let's chill out.
66
on the Sun Lounge.
67
Ah.
68
I am chilling out.
69
A very common verb in English is to Chill.
70
Right now, I'm chilling.
71
by the pool.
72
And This environment that I'm in is called a villa.
73
which is like a large holiday home.
74
It's a beautiful, very private.
75
area.
76
So, I was just showing you the world around me and teaching you English.
77
This is input.
78
And if you don't have enough input when you try to speak, you'll have nothing to say.
79
So after learning these new words, you need to create output for them.
80
This is actively producing English yourself.
81
It can be speaking out loud, expressing your opinions, Answering questions.
82
or describing things.
83
You probably know the word pool.
84
If I point to the pool and say swimming pool, You can understand it immediately.
85
But if I suddenly ask you, Describe what you can see in this video THE LAST WEEK,
86
THE LAST WEEK If you can't-- which is absolutely fine, then that's why you're here.
87
because knowing a word and using it are two very different things. So...
88
Here's a simple exercise I would do every day.
89
After watching an English video, take a few new words that you learned and use them actively in sentences.
90
For example, let's take the words "swimming pool".
91
A very simple sentence could be: "The swimming pool looks inviting." The water is gently moving.
92
And next to the pool, There are small pebbles.
93
Oh.
94
I took a dip in the swimming pool this morning. And...
95
It was lovely.
96
And here's an important tip: if you connect the words to your own life, you will remember them better.
97
On Sprout, we recently released a feature which helps you do this.
98
I've finished the video, now I'm going to click "Learn Vocabulary".
99
And this is the vocabulary from the video I've just watched.
100
I can click Define.
101
to get the definition of the word.
102
I can tap.
103
On the flashcard.
104
to translate it into my native language or your native language, whichever language you speak.
105
You can click an example, to see an example of that word.
106
And finally, this is where it gets extremely useful to use the word actively.
107
in a sentence to help it stick in your memory. So...
108
I'm going to use the word spontaneously in a sentence.
109
When I speak spontaneously, I never know what I'm going to say, But that's the fun and the joy of learning English.
110
Correct.
111
Next one.
112
Let's go for the word.
113
blade.
114
I define a blade.
115
I can click an example.
116
And finally, I'm going to use the word.
117
The chef sharpens his blade before service to ensure that the vegetables are perfectly sliced.
118
Nice.
119
So what should you do if you can understand English but you can't speak it confidently?
120
The first thing you should do is to schedule a time to speak every day.
121
There are many speaking exercises you can do.
122
As long as they are active and you're producing the language yourself, then they are effective.
123
Now, the type of practice depends on your goal.
124
If you want to improve your pronunciation,
125
your accent, your rhythm, your connected speech, Then shadowing is perfect for you.
126
I recently released a shadowing series that you can watch on YouTube.
127
where I show you a close -up shot of my mouth
128
to help you copy the mouth movements and the sounds exactly If you want to take that one step further, you can record your mouth shape,
129
and compare mine with yours.
130
This gives you direct and clear feedback.
131
If your goal is to stop freezing.
132
when somebody asks you a question, then you need spontaneous speaking practice.
133
And you can do this in many ways.
134
You can-- speak about what you're going to do today or what you did, earlier today.
135
You can talk about random topics, or you can practice sentence -building exercises, like we practiced earlier on Sprouts.
136
I've already made a lot of videos on speaking exercises that you can do and I will link them in the description.
137
But eventually, practicing alone isn't enough.
138
you need to bring those skills into a real conversation.
139
And that's one reason why many English learners enjoy speaking with J .I.
140
You can practice speaking without pressure and prepare yourself for real life conversations.
141
It's the closest thing to having a real conversation whenever you want.
142
Link in the description.
143
So, if I were learning English from zero today, My framework would be very simple.
144
Watch.
145
Learn.
146
Speak.
147
Continue immersing yourself in English.
148
Continue watching continue reading, Continue listening.
149
Learn words through context.
150
and then use those words in simple sentences.
151
And finally, speak freely.
152
The more opportunities you create for speaking English, The more natural speaking English feels for you.
153
So when you learn English, don't just focus on learning as many words as possible, focus on learning English to express yourself.
154
because that's what most English learners are looking for.
155
We're not looking for perfect English.
156
We're looking to speak freely and fearlessly.
157
every day.
158
Thank you for watching.
159
And I'll see you.
160
in the next video.
161
Peace.

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.
