Hello, hello!
2
Welcome back to English Podcast, everyone!
3
Hello, my dear friends.
4
It is so wonderful to be here with you again today.
5
I am Anna, and as always, I am sitting here with my fantastic friend and co -host, Mr. B.
6
Thank you, Anna.
7
I am always so happy to sit down with you and share these special conversations with our lovely listeners around the world.
8
Before we jump into our main topic today, we really want to say a huge thank you to everyone listening to us.
9
Yes, a very big thank you.
10
Your likes, your sweet comments, and your daily support mean the absolute world to us.
11
Every time we read your messages, we smile, and sometimes we even get a little emotional, because you make this channel feel like a big family.
12
It really feels like a warm, cozy family.
13
When you leave a comment and tell us about your day, it brings us so much joy and happiness.
14
It really does!
15
So if you enjoy learning easy English with us in this cozy way, please like this episode, subscribe to English Podcast, and share it with your friends.
16
Now, Ana, I am super excited today.
17
What is our main topic for this episode?
18
Today, Mr. B, we are going to talk about a very quiet but very powerful topic.
19
Ooh, a quiet power.
20
Is it like a secret superpower in an action movie?
21
In a way, yes.
22
Today we are talking about calm.
23
Real, deep, inner calm.
24
Ah, calm.
25
That wonderful feeling when everything around you is crazy and noisy, but inside you feel peaceful and steady.
26
Yes, we want to explore why staying calm can make you look strong, why it can sometimes make other people nervous,
27
and how it helps us in daily life and in learning English.
28
That sounds like a wonderful topic, because I know many people think that being calm means you are quiet, soft, passive, or easy to ignore.
29
Exactly.
30
Lastly, many people mistake calm for weakness, but today we will show why calm usually wins in the end.
31
I love that idea so much.
32
So grab a cozy cup of tea or warm coffee, sit back, relax, and let us enjoy this fun conversation together.
33
So Mr. B, let us start with a big question.
34
Why do people so often think calm is a sign of weakness?
35
I think it is because noise is very easy to notice, Ana.
36
When someone enters a room shouting or talking loudly, everybody turns around and looks at them right away.
37
That is so true.
38
Loud reactions are very easy to see.
39
If someone gets angry quickly or talks over other people, we immediately think, oh, that person has power.
40
Right.
41
We often trust noise before we trust depth.
42
A loud person makes a big show, like an actor on a stage performing for an audience.
43
Yes, noise before depth.
44
That is such a great phrase, Mr. B.
45
But being composed is very different.
46
Composed is a great word.
47
When you are composed, you stay steady and in control, especially when a moment is difficult, tense, or confusing.
48
Yes, but because a composed person does not shout, wave their arms, or make a big scene, people sometimes misread them.
49
When you misread someone, you understand them in the wrong way.
50
So people look at a calm person and think, oh, they are passive, they are weak, or they don't care.
51
Which is completely wrong.
52
Inside, that calm person might be doing a massive amount of inner work just to stay grounded and peaceful.
53
Yes, staying calm when someone is yelling at you is not easy at all.
54
It requires huge inner strength, patience, and self -control.
55
I always think about a big tree in a storm, Mr. B.
56
Have you ever watched a big tree during strong winds?
57
Oh yes, the leaves move around and the branches bend, but the heavy trunk stays right there, solid and still.
58
Exactly.
59
A tree with deep roots doesn't look dramatic.
60
It just stands there quietly in the forest.
61
And then when the heavy storm comes, you finally see where the true strength was all along.
62
I love that picture so much.
63
Stillness can look simple from far away, but up close it's pure stability and power.
64
And you know, Ana, I think English learners feel this exact same thing when they speak in real life.
65
Oh, absolutely!
66
Tell us more about that, Mr. B.
67
How does calm connect to speaking English?
68
Well, sometimes when an English learner speaks slowly and carefully, they feel worried.
69
They think, oh no, the other person thinks I'm not confident.
70
Yes, they feel like taking a pause to think makes them look weak or uneducated in English.
71
But that's not true at all.
72
Taking a pause and speaking calmly doesn't mean your English is weak, it means you're being thoughtful.
73
Exactly!
74
You're choosing your words with care instead of rushing into a mistake.
75
That's a real strength, not a weakness.
76
So never feel bad for taking a calm breath before you speak English.
77
It shows great respect for your own words and thoughts.
78
Now, Mr. B, let us talk about another funny thing.
79
Why does staying calm sometimes make other people feel nervous.
80
Haha, oh yes, that's such an interesting thing that happens in real -life conversations.
81
It really is.
82
Sometimes when someone is angry and trying to start an argument with you, if you stay quiet and calm, they look confused.
83
Yes, because some people like to provoke you.
84
To provoke someone means you try to push their buttons and get a loud reaction from them.
85
Right.
86
They push and push because they want you to get upset.
87
They want to control the mood of the room and control you.
88
And when you don't react, when you stay completely steady, their whole plan fails.
89
Exactly.
90
Your calm leaves them feeling unsettled.
91
Unsettled means they feel uncomfortable or unsure of what to do next.
92
Because usually when person A yells, person B yells back.
93
That's the normal rule of a noisy argument.
94
Yes, but when person A yells and person B just sits there, looking calm and composed, person A feels totally lost.
95
They think, wait a second, why aren't they panicking?
96
What do they know that I don't know?
97
Yes, it makes them realize that you can't move you or push you around like a toy.
98
That's why your calm shows that you are in control of yourself, not them.
99
You hold your own power.
100
And being grounded is the key to that, right Mr. B?
101
Yes, Ana.
102
When you are grounded, you are centered and balanced, like a house built on solid rock.
103
I think of bad moments like bad weather.
104
Emotional winds can blow very fast and very hard.
105
If you are not grounded, that emotional wind will pick you up and fly you away into chaos.
106
And when you fly away into chaos, you say things that you regret two minutes later.
107
Oh, definitely.
108
Human beings are amazing at taking one small emotional moment and turning it into a full week of big inconvenience.
109
That is so true, Mr. B.
110
One quick angry sentence can create 10 10 brand new problems.
111
So calm gives your mind a little bit of room before your reaction arrives, and that little bit of room changes everything.
112
It does.
113
Calm doesn't delete the problem, but it stops the pressure from taking over your thinking.
114
And for English speakers, this is a huge secret, because when you panic while speaking English, what happens?
115
You forget every single word you know.
116
Even simple words like apple or cat disappear from your head.
117
Yes, your English didn't disappear forever, just pressure got into your brain first.
118
So when you stay calm, you protect your clarity.
119
You give yourself time to breathe, remember your words, and keep talking gently.
120
Calm protects your English clarity so you don't freeze up when someone asks you a question in English.
121
That brings us to another beautiful word, dignity.
122
Ah, dignity.
123
That is a very warm and noble word, Anna.
124
What does dignity mean to you?
125
To me, dignity means having self -respect, even when things are messy, difficult, or stressful.
126
And to keep your dignity in an argument or a hard situation, you need restraint.
127
Restraint is when you hold yourself back from doing or saying something stupid in the moment.
128
It's so tempting to shout back or say a mean word when someone hurts your feelings or disrespects you.
129
It is very tempting.
130
But when you use restraint, you protect your dignity.
131
You walk away feeling proud of yourself.
132
I love the saying.
133
Dignity is not about winning the argument.
134
It's about leaving the conversation without losing yourself.
135
Mr. B, that is such a fantastic line, leaving the conversation without losing yourself.
136
Because next week, your future self will not care if you shouted louder.
137
Your future self will be happy that you stayed respectful and steady.
138
Yes, a loud reaction feels good for 10 seconds, but dignity feels good for the rest of your life.
139
And in English, too.
140
When you make a grammar mistake, you don't need to shrink or apologize 20 times.
141
Right!
142
Just pause, correct yourself if you want, and keep going with dignity.
143
Mistakes are totally normal for every learner.
144
Now, Anna, we must make a very important point here because some people misunderstand what real calm actually is.
145
Yes, this is super important.
146
Real calm is not emotional shutdown.
147
Exactly.
148
Real calm doesn't mean you pretend you have no feelings or that you act like a cold stone robot.
149
No way.
150
Real calm still feels pain, still notices problems, and still cares deeply about things.
151
It just chooses not to let the emotion take the steering wheel of the car.
152
That is such a clear picture.
153
If anger takes the steering wheel, the car will crash into a wall.
154
Yes, and we should mention suppression and numbness here too.
155
Suppression is when you push your anger or sadness deep down inside yourself and pretend everything is fine.
156
Like putting trash under the rug in your living room.
157
On the outside, the room looks clean, but under the rug there is a big smelly pile.
158
Haha, what a terrible storage system, Mr. B.
159
And eventually that pile gets too big and explodes into a huge mess.
160
And numbness is when you feel completely disconnected, like you cannot feel anything at all.
161
Right.
162
So let us be clear.
163
Suppression is hiding feelings, numbness is feeling nothing, but real calm is being present and steady.
164
Calm can still say, hey, that hurt my feelings, or no, I do not like that, but it says it quietly and clearly without turning into crazy drama.
165
Yes, real calm has strong boundaries.
166
Real calm is honest, but it stays in total control.
167
That is such an important difference, Anna.
168
It's all about emotional balance, not closing your heart.
169
You know, Mr. B, when I see a very calm person, I often wonder, were they always like that?
170
Most of the time, Anna, the answer is no. Many calm people were very loud and reactive when they were younger.
171
Really?
172
So how did they become so peaceful and calm later in life?
173
What changed for them?
174
They became resilient through life experience.
175
Resilient means you can recover and bounce back after hard times.
176
Ah, yes, and they also became seasoned.
177
Seasoned is a great word, like a delicious dish with lots of good spices.
178
Yes, a seasoned person has lived through many experiences, made mistakes, learned lessons, and become wiser over time.
179
Life taught them what chaos costs.
180
Overreacting to everything is exhausting, isn't it, Mr. B?
181
Oh, it is deeply exhausting.
182
Cleaning up after your own bad reactions again and again gets so tiring.
183
You get tired of arguing over small things, you get tired of feeling embarrassed, and you get tired of bad drama.
184
And at some point, peace starts to look much more attractive than performance.
185
Ooh, peace looks more attractive than performance.
186
I love that phrase so much, Mr. B.
187
Because when you're young, you want to show off and prove everyone wrong.
188
But when you grow wiser, you just want peace in your mind.
189
Their calm is earned.
190
It has history in it.
191
They know what's worth their energy and what's not worth a second thought.
192
And this is so encouraging for English learners too, Anna.
193
Why is that, Mr. B?
194
How does being seasoned help English learners?
195
Because many confident English speakers you see today were not born confident.
196
They used to feel super nervous too.
197
They made silly grammar mistakes.
198
They forgot words.
199
They felt embarrassed in real conversations.
200
Yes, but they kept practicing.
201
They survived those awkward moments and each moment made them more resilient for the future.
202
So if you feel messy or nervous when you speak English right now, don't worry.
203
That's just how you're becoming a seasoned speaker.
204
Every mistake you survive is building your inner strength and making you calmer for the future.
205
That's such a comforting thought for all of us learning new things every day.
206
It really is.
207
It gives us hope and keeps us motivated on our learning journey.
208
So, Mr. B, how can our listeners practice becoming calmer every day?
209
What are some small, practical steps we can take?
210
It all starts with a wonderful skill called self -regulation, Anna.
211
Self -regulation.
212
That sounds like a big word.
213
But what does it mean in simple, everyday English?
214
Self -regulation just means managing your emotional reactions in a healthy way instead of letting them manage you.
215
Like taking a deep breath before you answer an angry text message.
216
Exactly.
217
When someone sends you a message that makes you mad, don't reply in one second.
218
Pause for 10 seconds.
219
Yes.
220
Take a slow breath, feel your feet on the floor, and give your brain a moment to cool down.
221
Don't give the world your first emotional reaction every single time.
222
Save your valuable energy.
223
That's such wise advice.
224
And here's a great question you can ask yourself in a hard moment.
225
What does this moment need from me?
226
Ooh, what a fantastic question.
227
What does this moment need from me instead of what do I feel like screaming right now?
228
Yes, because right now you might feel like screaming, but the moment actually needs you to listen or speak quietly.
229
That question brings instant clarity.
230
Because our main goal is not to become cold or distant, our goal is to become steady.
231
Steady.
232
I love that word, Mr. B.
233
Steady means stable and reliable, like a good friend you can always count on.
234
I always picture a cup of water sitting on a table.
235
If someone bumps the table slightly, the water inside might move a bit, but it doesn't spill all over the place.
236
Ah, what a beautiful image.
237
A cup of water that stays steady and doesn't spill all over the floor.
238
Becoming calmer doesn't mean you stop feeling like a human being.
239
It means you become someone you yourself can trust.
240
Yes, when life gets shaky, you know that you can stay centered and carry yourself with care and love.
241
And in English, when you speak with a steady tone, people listen to you with respect even if your grammar is not 100 % perfect.
242
Because people might forget some of your exact words, but they'll always remember the calm energy you brought into the room.
243
Calm energy is contagious.
244
When you bring calm into a room, other people start to feel calm and relaxed too.
245
Now, Mr. B, before we finish today's episode, let's do our favorite thing, a cozy little word tour.
246
Yay, the word tour is my favorite part.
247
Let's look back at some awesome words we used today.
248
Our first word today is composed.
249
Can you remind us what composed means, Mr. B?
250
Compose means calm, controlled, and steady, especially in a difficult situation.
251
For example, even when the meeting was stressful, she stayed composed.
252
Great.
253
And our second word is misread.
254
To misread someone means to understand them in the wrong way.
255
For example, people misread his quiet nature as weakness.
256
Next is provoke.
257
To provoke someone means to try to push their buttons to get an angry reaction.
258
For example, he tried to provoke her, but she stayed quiet.
259
And then we had unsettled.
260
If someone feels unsettled, they feel uncomfortable or unsure.
261
For example, her calm answer left him feeling unsettled.
262
We also talked about restraint.
263
Restraint means holding yourself back from reacting hastily.
264
For example, it took a lot of restraint not to shout back.
265
And don't forget suppression.
266
Suppression means pushing feelings down inside instead of dealing with them honestly.
267
For example, suppression isn't real peace.
268
Next was numb.
269
Feeling numb means feeling emotionally disconnected.
270
For example, when you're stressed for too long, you might feel numb.
271
Then we had two beautiful words, resilient and seasoned.
272
Resilient means able to bounce back from difficulty, and seasoned means wise because of experience.
273
For example, she's a seasoned English speaker who is resilient when making mistakes in conversation.
274
And finally, self -regulation and steady, managing your emotions warmly and staying stable like that cup of water.
275
What a rich set of words for our English toolbox today.
276
I feel like my English vocabulary grows every time we talk.
277
Mine too, Mr. B.
278
Learning these words helps us talk about feelings and inner strength in such a clear, mature way.
279
We hope you enjoyed this conversation today as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
280
Tell us in the comments below, do you think calm is something people are born with, or is it something life teaches us over time?
281
Ooh, that's such a great question!
282
We can't wait to read your thoughts in the comments section below.
283
Thank you so much for spending your valuable time with us today on English Podcast.
284
Keep practicing your English, stay steady, take deep breaths, and remember that your calm is your greatest strength.
285
Have a wonderful, peaceful day, everyone!
286
See you in our next episode!
287
Goodbye, everyone.
288
Keep shining and stay calm.

पहली छापें
इस वीडियो में बातचीत का एक अनूठा पहलू है जो इसे अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास करने के लिए उत्कृष्ट सामग्री बनाता है। यहाँ, अनाह और उनके सह-प्रस्तुतकर्ता, श्री बी, एक गहरी और महत्वपूर्ण विषय पर चर्चा कर रहे हैं - "शांति"। उनकी बातचीत में एक मधुरता और सहजता है जो श्रोताओं को आकर्षित करती है। इस तरह की बातचीत से न केवल प्रतिभागियों की बातें सुनने का मौका मिलता है, बल्कि यह भी समझ में आता है कि कैसे एक शांतिपूर्ण आंतरिकता बाहरी दुनिया के शोर-गुल में स्थिरता उत्पन्न कर सकती है। इस प्रकार की सामग्री अंग्रेजी बोलने में आत्मविश्वास बढ़ाने में मदद करती है।
इसे तोड़ें
आइए वीडियो में से कुछ वाक्यों को देखते हैं और समझते हैं कि ये क्यों स्वाभाविक लगते हैं:
- “जब आप शांत रहते हैं, तो आप स्थिर और नियंत्रित होते हैं”: इस वाक्य में "शांत" और "स्थिर" जैसे शब्दों का प्रयोग इसे अधिक प्रभावी बनाता है। यह स्पष्टता से बताता है कि कैसे एक व्यक्ति की मानसिक स्थिति उसके व्यवहार को प्रभावित कर सकती है।
- “हम अक्सर शोर को गहराई पर भरोसा करने से पहले देखते हैं”: यह वाक्य एक गहराई और सूक्ष्मता का अनुभव कराता है। यहां "शोर" और "गहराई" की तुलना करना एक दिलचस्प दृष्टिकोण प्रस्तुत करता है।
- “शांत व्यक्ति को कभी-कभी गलत समझा जाता है”: यह वाक्य दर्शाता है कि समाज में शांति को कमजोरी की तरह देखा जाता है। यह विचारधारा बदलने की आवश्यकता को स्पष्ट करता है।
अभ्यास की दिनचर्या
अब, आइए इस वीडियो में प्रस्तुत संवाद को अंग्रेजी बोलने के अभ्यास के लिए एक सरल तरीके से दोहराएं। यहाँ एक repeat-and-record प्रक्रिया है:
- वीडियो को देखें और पहले वाक्य को ध्यान से सुनें।
- उस वाक्य को जोर से बोलें और रिकॉर्ड करें।
- अब, अपनी रिकॉर्डिंग सुनें और अपने उच्चारण और प्रवाह की तुलना कीजिए।
- इस प्रक्रिया को कुछ बार दोहराएं, ताकि आप अपने बोलने के कौशल को सुधार सकें।
इस तरह के अभ्यास से न केवल आपकी अंग्रेजी बोलने में सुधार होगा, बल्कि यह आपको अपने आत्मविश्वास को बढ़ाने में भी मदद करेगा। याद रखें, shadowspeaks तकनीक का उपयोग करते हुए आप अपने बोलने के कौशल को निखार सकते हैं। "अंग्रेजी बोलने का अभ्यास" करने के लिए नियमित रूप से वक्त निकालें और आप देखेंगे कि आप कितनी जल्दी प्रगति कर रहे हैं।
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।
