Welcome to the Listening Time Podcast.

Hey everybody, this is Connor, and you're listening to episode 127 of the Listening Time Podcast.

Thank you all for listening.

Today my voice is a little bit weak, because I'm a little bit sick, so I'm sorry about that.

I appreciate you bearing with me.

I appreciate your patience.

By the way, speaking of patience, this is the topic of today's episode: patience.

So I want to talk about this today,

so I think this will be a good topic for all of us because I think that

Pretty much everybody has room for improvement when it comes to patience.

By the way, we use that phrase "room for improvement." This just means that you have space to improve.

You are not perfect, there are still improvements.

that you can make.

So we all have room for improvement when it comes to patience, so this should be a good topic for today's episode,

and hopefully it will inspire all of us to be a little bit more patient in our everyday lives,

and hopefully that will help us out.

So that's what podcast if you feel ready to start practicing with real conversations between native speakers.

In each episode, I talk to someone from a different part of the country

from the U .S and we talk about a bunch of different topics and you get to learn a lot

about the US, our culture, different topics.

These conversations are really interesting, and we speak naturally.

And I provide the transcript for you, so you can follow along,

and you also have the definitions of new words and phrases.

that you might not know that we use during the conversation.

So if you're interested in that, the link is in the description below this episode.

That's patreon .com /usconversations.

And if you want my advanced podcast episodes, if you want to practice with me speaking at normal speed,

Those links are down below as well.

And as always, if you like this podcast, please give it a five -star rating,

with anyone else you know who's learning English.

Alright, let's get started.

Okay, let's talk about patience.

So, First of all, I need to mention that I'm not the most patient person in the world.

This is an area in which I need to improve a lot.

I am willing to admit that because I'm not the most patient person,

and I really want to improve in this area.

I look at my wife, for example.

She's more patient than I am,

and I try to learn from her because there are times when we're both dealing with the same situation,

and she is patient and calm, and I'm more agitated.

The word "agitated" means that you are bothered and anxious for some reason.

I might be agitated and yet she's perfectly fine, and we're dealing with the same issue.

So I can see that other people have more patience than me sometimes,

and I really want to improve in this regard.

I need to improve, and I try to do so every day.

tons and tons of patience.

I'm talking as someone who needs to improve in this area.

So, what are some different situations in which We need to be patient.

The first one that comes to mind is when we're sitting in traffic.

By the way, we use that phrase sitting in traffic when we talk about being in your car and you're in traffic,

it's moving very slowly, or sometimes it's not moving at all.

traffic.

So, This is the first situation that comes to mind when I think of patience,

because it's a very common occurrence, and for me, it's one of the most frustrating situations.

I hate being in traffic, it's one of the worst things.

I'm sure a lot of you agree with me about this.

So if we're not patient, then traffic can really...

bother us, it can really annoy us, and sometimes it can ruin your day

because you allow your mood to be negatively affected by the fact that you have to wait in traffic.

So this is something that we want to avoid because we can't control traffic.

It's completely outside of our control and if we get bothered.

by traffic, this doesn't help us.

We can't do anything to change the situation, to make the traffic suddenly go away.

We have no control over that.

I don't think it's worth it to lose our patience,

to lose our cool and get really angry when we're stuck in traffic.

There's no benefit to that.

By the way, when we say that you lose your cool, This means that you lose your patience and you snap,

you get mad, you get really frustrated.

Right?

So, We don't want to lose our cool just because traffic is bad.

So that's the first thing that comes to mind because I'm guilty of this.

Sometimes when I'm stuck in traffic, I get frustrated and I let it affect my mood,

but I definitely shouldn't do this.

So that's one that I need to work on.

Another situation in which we need patience is when we're dealing with a difficult person.

We've all been there, we all know how this is, By the way, when I say that we've all been there,

what I'm saying is we've all been in this situation.

So we've all been there.

We've all had to deal with...

a difficult person in some situation or another,

and sometimes we can lose our cool and we can allow this situation or this person to

frustrate us to the point where we act differently, we don't do what we should do,

or maybe we talk in a way that isn't the best.

I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.

Sometimes we have to deal with difficult people,

and it's important to not let them bring us down to

the level where we're getting really mad for no good reason, right?

Sometimes we get angry at another person for a legitimate reason,

I'm not talking about being angry with a person because They've done some horrible thing.

They've committed some wicked crime or something like that.

That's not what I'm referring to.

I'm referring to situations where a person is just hard to deal with and you need to be patient with them.

So that can happen in the workplace, that can happen just in public,

at stores, with employees, at certain companies, in a lot of situations.

100

So dealing with these people

101

requires patience and it's good to act patiently in these situations because sometimes we are the difficult people.

102

Sometimes I am the difficult person or you are the difficult person and other

103

sometimes we need people to be patient with us.

104

So it goes both ways.

105

And another situation in which we need to be patient is listening to people.

106

You might not think of this as a situation that requires patience, but it does. Because...

107

People talk.

108

and we should try to listen.

109

And sometimes people talk

110

lot or their story that they're telling takes a long time and you can get bored or you can start to

111

get distracted or you can stop listening for example and we sometimes lose patience

112

when we have to listen to other people talk because Everybody loves to talk about what they want to talk about.

113

People like to be the ones to share things and talk about things,

114

but not everybody likes to listen.

115

And that's a more important skill, is being able to listen when other people talk to you.

116

And that's something that we should all try to improve on.

117

and make sure that we're patient and we are listening to people and we are genuinely caring

118

about what other people are saying, and if you do this,

119

if you demonstrate patience in this situation, you're gonna have better relationships.

120

People are gonna like you more.

121

You're gonna have fewer arguments, maybe.

122

The other person is gonna feel more cared about.

123

for example, and you'll have better communication overall.

124

So I think that we should all practice with just being able to

125

shut our mouths and listen to other people speak

126

and not just immediately try to talk and interrupt and say what we want to say.

127

We should let the other person finish before we start giving our opinion about something, for example.

128

language.

129

This is very relevant to all of you and to me because I'm a language learner.

130

Learning a language takes a long time.

131

I constantly get questions from people asking about their language learning process and usually they express frustration that

132

they aren't improving fast, or they feel stuck,

133

or they feel like their progress is not what they want it to be,

134

they feel like they have a problem,

135

they ask me questions, and they frame the question kind of like saying that there's something wrong with them.

136

Why Aren't I improving how I should be?

137

I have a problem with this.

138

What's wrong with me?

139

What should I be doing differently?

140

I constantly get questions like this and these are legitimate questions.

141

I'm not saying that these aren't good questions.

142

However, What I want to say is the vast majority of the time when people ask me this question,

143

it's not

144

like these people are studying in the complete way wrong way and they're wasting their time and they need to completely change

145

everything about their language learning routine.

146

It's not that.

147

Usually, They... are just...

148

advancing slowly and they don't realize it and they don't realize how long it takes to learn a language.

149

Okay, let me give you an example.

150

of my language learning process.

151

I've been speaking Spanish for over a decade.

152

not a year or a couple years, not five years, not eight years.

153

No. I've been speaking Spanish for over 10 years, over a decade now okay?

154

My wife is a Spanish speaker.

155

She only speaks to me in Spanish.

156

Okay?

157

I lived in Mexico for six years.

158

My whole life was in Spanish for six years, and yet Today, over 10 years later,

159

I'm still in the process of learning Spanish, not actively, I don't actively study Spanish.

160

However, I'm constantly learning new things, new words.

161

There are things that I don't understand.

162

There are things that I misunderstand.

163

There are things that I need people to repeat.

164

because I didn't get it and I make mistakes all the time.

165

All of this is what I deal with, and I've been speaking Spanish For over a decade,

166

I've lived in the country for many years.

167

My wife only speaks in Spanish to me, and yet, I'm still improving,

168

I still make mistakes, I still have an accent, I still don't sound anything like a native speaker,

169

etc. just know that learning a language takes a really long time,

170

in terms of getting to a very high level.

171

Of course, you can reach an intermediate level in a pretty short period of time, if you dedicate a lot of hours to it.

172

And you can even reach an advanced level in a relatively short period of time.

173

depending on your motivation and how many hours you're dedicating to it.

174

However, when your goal is to become really good Add a language. That is...

175

inevitably gonna take a long time.

176

When I say that something is inevitable, what I'm saying is that it's unavoidable.

177

So there's no way to avoid this.

178

If you want to reach a really high level in English, then that's going to take a really long time.

179

Okay?

180

That's just how it is.

181

We need to be patient.

182

And similarly, another situation in which we need to have patience is when we are trying to achieve a goal,

183

learning a language is one goal.

184

That's one example, but when we want to achieve any goal, we need patience.

185

If you want to lose weight, That's not gonna happen tomorrow, right?

186

You can't just expect that to happen in 24 hours.

187

You need to stick with it for a certain period of time before you actually see these results.

188

By the way, the phrase "stick with it" just means that you continue doing something.

189

So you need to stick with it and and be patient, and eventually you'll see results, but not overnight.

190

The word "overnight" refers to from one day to the next.

191

You're not going to see results in just one day.

192

you need to have a little more patience than that.

193

or if your goal is to learn some new skill.

194

Maybe you want to learn a programming language or something like that.

195

That's not going to happen overnight.

196

You need patience.

197

You need to accept that this is going to take some time and eventually you'll reach your goal right, if you stick with it.

198

But patience is necessary when we set goals and we want to achieve these goals.

199

And another situation that requires a lot of patience is when we're going through government processes.

200

This is probably the worst one.

201

For me, this is the thing that is the most frustrating and tests my patience the most.

202

When I am going through a government process,

203

and the government takes long time to do the process and respond to me or to do what they need to do.

204

this can be really frustrating.

205

I need to have more patience when it comes to this because this is inevitable.

206

We all deal with these processes.

207

We all live in countries that have governments that are not

208

efficient and not very well run and are not the best institutions with the best customer service and all of that.

209

All of us are in this situation, regardless of which country you live in.

210

So, we need to have patience and know that these processes are gonna take a while and

211

we can't do that much to influence this.

212

So when my wife was going through the immigration process to live in the US, this took a long time.

213

This took multiple years.

214

So this was something that required a lot of patience,

215

and at times it felt like it was never gonna end.

216

But of course, it did and we got through the process and everything is okay now.

217

But during that period, it was hard to have patience sometimes.

218

And that was something that really taught me to just wait and to not allow things

219

that I can't control to negatively impact my life and my daily life and my mood.

220

I needed to kind of not focus on this process and just live my life be patient, and wait.

221

So that was a big one.

222

And one more situation that I wanted to mention, probably the most important one,

223

the most important situation in which we need patience,

224

is when you are parenting, when you have kids.

225

When you have kids, your level of patience is tested in a way unlike anything else.

226

So you're dealing with small people,

227

humans, that have not learned to act properly, behave well, communicate effectively.

228

They don't know this yet.

229

They don't have these skills, especially at young ages.

230

So If you don't have patience, this is going to be very hard for you.

231

You're going to deal with a lot of situations in which you are annoyed or irritated or you feel desperate because

232

you know how something needs to be but your kid doesn't,

233

they don't know this, or they do the opposite,

234

or they do a lot of things that can possibly irritate us and affect our mood,

235

and they can cause us to lose our cool sometimes,

236

and we need to be careful with this and we need to exercise patience and to

237

really understand that kids need instruction and discipline and they need time.

238

They need time to learn these things and to learn how to behave properly,

239

learn how to communicate, learn how to all of this effectively.

240

So we can't expect them to just be born with these skills.

241

That's simply not reality and as a parent, patience is necessary.

242

You need to understand that these processes take a long time.

243

These kids will need a long time before they really learn all these lessons and

244

they can do things the way that you can do them as an adult.

245

So, For me, that's probably the most important situation in which patience is definitely required.

246

So, Those were some different situations, but there are plenty of others.

247

I hope this episode was interesting for you,

248

and hopefully it got you thinking a little bit about your patience levels,

249

and maybe it can inspire all of us to be a little more patient.

आप क्या सीखेंगे

इस वीडियो में, आप कुछ महत्वपूर्ण बोलचाल कौशल सीखेंगे जो आपकी अंग्रेजी बोलने की क्षमता को बढ़ाने में मदद करेंगे। सबसे पहले, आप "patience" यानी धैर्य के बारे में चर्चा सुनेंगे, जो एक महत्वपूर्ण भावना है और जीवन के विभिन्न पहलुओं में सहायक होती है। दूसरे, आप "agitated" जैसे नए शब्दों के उपयोग को समझेंगे, जो आपको भावनाओं के विभिन्न संकेतों को व्यक्त करने में मदद करेंगे। अंततः, आप रोज़मर्रा की बातचीत में अधिक आत्मविश्वास से बोलने के लिए आवश्यक तकनीकों पर ध्यान केंद्रित करेंगे।

इन ध्वनियों पर ध्यान दें

संयुक्त भाषण: बातचीत में शब्दों का एक साथ मिलकर बोलना, जिससे समझने में आसानी होती है।
लिंकिंग: शब्दों के बीच कड़ी बनाने के लिए कैसे ध्वनियों को जोड़ा जाता है।
छोटी ध्वनियों का उपयोग: कई बार शब्दों को संक्षिप्त रूप में कहा जाता है, जैसे "gonna" (going to) और "wanna" (want to)।

एक देशी की तरह कहें

वीडियो में स्पीकर की ध्वनि और लय को प्रतिबिंबित करना महत्वपूर्ण है। जब आप बोलते हैं, तो उनकी गति और तनाव के पैटर्न का अनुसरण करें। उदाहरण के लिए, जब वे "patience" शब्द का उच्चारण करते हैं, तो उस पर ध्यान दें कि वे किस तरह से इसे उच्चारण करते हैं और आप भी उसी लय में कोशिश करें। यह तकनीक अंग्रेजी उच्चारण में सुधार और असली बातचीत के अनुभव को बढ़ाती है। आप "शैडो स्पीक" तकनीक का उपयोग करके इस प्रकार के अभ्यास को कर सकते हैं, जिससे आप एक देशी वक्ता की तरह बोलने में सक्षम होंगे।

इस प्रकार के अभ्यास से न केवल आपकी बोलने की क्षमता में सुधार होगा, बल्कि आप अंग्रेजी की भावनाओं और अर्थों को भी बेहतर समझ सकेंगे। इसलिए, नियमित रूप से इन सामग्रियों के साथ अभ्यास करना न भूलें। आपको पता चलेगा कि धैर्य रखना और सुधार की दिशा में काम करना एक महत्वपूर्ण कदम है।

इस वीडियो का व्याकरण

वक्ता जिन संरचनाओं का सबसे अधिक प्रयोग करता है, वीडियो के असली शब्दों के साथ:

संरचना	वीडियो में
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — पहले शुरू हुआ काम जो अब भी जारी है	I've been speaking
Passive voice be + past participle — ज़ोर इस पर कि क्या होता है, न कि कौन करता है	are bothered · might be agitated · is tested
Present perfect have/has + past participle — बीता हुआ काम जिसका असर अभी भी है	They've done · They've committed · I've lived
Superlatives the -est / the most … — समूह में सबसे ऊपर या नीचे	the most patient · the most frustrating · the worst

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
