From Speak English with Class.

Hey, everyone!
4
Welcome back to the English Leap Podcast, the place where you can practice real English and think about your life at the same time.
5
I'm Anna.
6
And I'm Jake.
7
Thanks for letting us jump into your headphones today.
8
We promise to be friendly guests in your ears.
9
Yeah, we'll take off our shoes and be polite.
10
So, Jake, quick question.
11
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
12
Hmm.
13
I had many ideas, but one big dream was to be a famous football player.
14
Big stadium, big lights, everyone shouting, Jake!
15
Jake!
16
And what did you actually get?
17
A small school field and my friend shouting, Jake, you missed again!
18
Okay, fair.
19
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a singer on a big stage.
20
Lights, microphone, fans.
21
Ooh, nice.
22
And what did you actually get?
23
My big stage was my bedroom mirror.
24
My fans were two board plants and one very confused chair.
25
Still a loyal audience.
26
I like it.
27
But, you know, even if those childhood dreams were a little dramatic, they still did something, right?
28
They made life exciting.
29
Yeah, they really did.
30
And that's what we want to talk about today.
31
Dreams and goals.
32
The big dreams in your heart and the small goals that make them possible.
33
And we'll do it in B1 English.
34
Clear, simple sentences, but with real feelings and real stories.
35
Yeah.
36
So if you're an intermediate learner, this episode is perfect for you.
37
And if you're a strong beginner, you can still stay with us.
38
You don't need to catch every word.
39
Just relax and take in what you can.
40
Okay.
41
Before we jump in, we want to ask you for one tiny favor.
42
Yes.
43
One small job for your finger.
44
And a big help for this podcast.
45

46
It really helps more learners find the English Leap Podcast.
47
And we'd love to hear from you in the comments.
48
Today, we have a special little sentence for you.
49
You can write, I'm your name from your country.
50
And one small step I will take for my dream is...
51
It can be a big dream or a small dream.
52
Serious, funny, crazy, everything is welcome here.
53
When you write it, you practice English, and you respect your own dream a little more.
54
You give it space.
55
And yes, we really do read your comments.
56
They help us see who is listening, where you are in the world, and what you want from your life.
57
So don't be shy.
58
Even one sentence is amazing.
59
Alright, let's get started.
60
First, we'll talk about what dreams and goals really mean in Easy English.
61
Yeah, I love that.
62
And maybe while you listen, you can think quietly about your own dream, too.
63
Okay, so what is a dream?
64
In this episode, we're not talking about the dream you have when you sleep.
65
Yeah, not the one with flying elephants and talking dogs.
66
Yes, not that one.
67
Here, a dream means a big wish for your future something you really, really want in your life.
68
A big wish inside your heart.
69
Maybe you dream of speaking English easily, or working in another country, or starting your own business,
70
or just having a simple, calm life with less stress.
71
Or maybe your dream is very personal, like helping your parents, giving your children a better life, or feeling proud when you talk to people.
72
So that's a dream, a big picture of the life you would love to have.
73
And a goal is different.
74
A goal is when you say, OK, this is my dream.
75
Now what small thing can I do?
76
Yes, a dream is the what.
77
A goal is the how.
78
You can think like this.
79
Dream equals big wish.
80
Goal equals small plan.
81
For example, your dream is, I want to speak English confidently.
82
Then your goal could be, every day I will speak for five minutes, maybe to myself, maybe into my phone, maybe with a friend.
83
The dream is big, confident English.
84
The goal is small, five minutes today.
85
So while you listen, you can ask yourself, what is one dream I have, and what is one little goal that could help me move closer?
86
Don't worry if you don't know your full plan.
87
Even thinking about one small goal is already a good start.
88
Big dreams like to travel with small goals.
89
They're a team.
90
Yes, they travel together.
91
Maybe it's easier if we share our own dreams and goals so you can hear real examples.
92
Yeah, let's get a little personal.
93
Okay, I'll go first.
94
One of my dreams is to run my own English studio one day.
95
An English studio?
96
Tell us more.
97
I imagine a bright, cozy place.
98
Maybe part online, part in a real room.
99
There are plants, a big table, notebooks, good coffee, and students from different countries coming to practice,
100
laugh, and feel safe with their English.
101
Mmm, like a little home for English learners.
102
Yes, a safe home for learners.
103
And I also have a second dream that connects to this.
104
I want to create my own English course, something that really helps shy learners speak with confidence.
105
So, two big dreams – your own studio and your own course.
106
Exactly.
107
But, if I only sit and imagine it, nothing will happen.
108
So I asked myself, what is one small goal I can do now, this year?
109
And what did you choose?
110
My small goal is every weekday I work on my course idea for just 15 minutes.
111
Only 15 minutes?
112
Yeah, only 15 minutes.
113
Sometimes I do more, but 15 is the minimum.
114
In that time, I can write a new example, change a lesson, or test one small exercise.
115
So little by little the course grows.
116
Yes, it's not fast, but it's real.
117
And every time I sit down for those 15 minutes, I feel like I'm saying to my dream, I'm coming, slowly, but I'm coming.
118
I like that sentence so much.
119
I'm coming, slowly, but I'm coming.
120
Yeah.
121
So for me, the dream is big, my own studio and course.
122
The goal is small, 15 minutes of real work on most days.
123
Big dream, tiny daily action.
124
Okay, Jake, your turn.
125
What about you?
126
One of my dreams is to have a small house with a little garden.
127
Oh, a garden.
128
What do you see in your head?
129
I see a simple house, not very big.
130
There's a table outside, some flowers, maybe a tree, a place to drink tea in the morning.
131
And I also imagine recording our podcast there with birds in the background.
132
English sleep with real birds.
133
I like it.
134
Yeah, nature edition.
135
But for me, this dream is not only about a house.
136
It's about having a slower life, more time in fresh air, less time in traffic and noise.
137
So your dream is also about how you live, not only where you live.
138
Exactly.
139
But right now, I live in a normal flat, in a busy place.
140
So I ask myself the same question.
141
What small goal can I start now?
142
And what did you choose?
143
My simple goal is each month I put a fixed amount of money into a future home account.
144
Even if it's not much, I treat it like a bill.
145
I must pay it.
146
Like rent for your future.
147
Yes, exactly.
148
Rent for my future house.
149
But also I try to spend at least one afternoon a week in a park or some green place.
150
Just to give my brain that quiet feeling now, not only in the future.
151
So your dream is a peaceful home with a garden, your goals are to save a little money every month and give yourself some quiet green time every week.
152
Yes.
153
So I'm not only waiting for that future life, I'm practicing small pieces of it now.
154
I like that.
155
already living a little bit of your dream even before it's 100% real.
156
Maybe you can do the same.
157
Ask yourself, what is one big dream I have,
158
and what are one or two tiny things I can do now that feel like a small piece of that dream?
159
Remember, your actions can be very small.
160
Five minutes, one page, one coin, one message.
161
Small but honest.
162
Okay, so now we understand what dreams and goals are and how small steps can connect them.
163
Yeah, we understand the theory now.
164
Big dream, small steps.
165
But real life is messy, right?
166
There is Wi-Fi, snacks, notifications, bills.
167
And one very comfortable sofa that says, come here, forget your goals, watch one more video.
168
Yeah, my sofa has a very strong personality.
169
So let's talk about this.
170
How do you stay focused on your dreams and goals when life is noisy?
171
Because having a dream is beautiful.
172
Having a goal is powerful.
173
But staying focused, that's the hard part.
174
So, in this next part, we'll share some simple ideas to help you protect your dream.
175
Not perfect ideas, just real friendly ones you can actually use.
176
And we'll keep the language simple, but we'll also use some hard words, so your English can grow with your dream.
177
Let's start with something important.
178
Many people don't stay focused because they try to chase 10 dreams at the same time.
179
Yeah, I want to learn English, lose weight, save money, travel more, read 10 books, start a business, learn guitar.
180
And also become a chef and a yoga master by Friday.
181
Exactly.
182
And then the brain says, you know what?
183
This is too much.
184
Let's just scroll.
185
So here's our first idea.
186
Choose one main dream for this season of your life.
187
And when we say season, we don't mean only summer or winter.
188
We mean maybe the next three months or six months.
189
For example, you can say, okay, for the next three months, my main dream is my English.
190
Other dreams are still there, but English is my priority.
191
Priority means the thing that goes first in your time and your energy.
192
When you choose one main dream for this season, your brain feels more clear.
193
It's not so confused and overwhelmed.
194
So you can ask yourself, in this season of my life, what is my number one dream?
195
Just one.
196
Don't worry.
197
You're not killing the other dreams.
198
They're just sitting in the back seat for a while, relaxing.
199
Yeah, they're in the car.
200
They're just not driving right now.
201
Your main dream is the driver.
202
Okay.
203
So let's say you chose your main dream.
204
Maybe it's English.
205
Maybe it's health.
206
Maybe it's money.
207
Next question.
208
What do you actually do every day?
209
Because my dream is big is nice on Instagram, but real life asks, OK, what will you do today at 7 p.m.?
210
True.
211
So here's the second idea.
212
Choose one small daily action that becomes your anchor for the stream.
213
Anchor?
214
Like the heavy thing on a boat, right?
215
Yes.
216
An anchor keeps the boat in one place so it doesn't move everywhere.
217
A daily anchor keeps your dream in your day so it doesn't disappear.
218
For English, your daily anchor could be, I listen to this podcast for 15 minutes, or I speak for five minutes into my phone,
219
or I read one page.
220
For money, your anchor could be, I write down my spending for five minutes, or I move a small amount into my savings account.
221
The action is small, but it is consistent.
222
That word consistent means you do it again and again, not just one time.
223
And when you repeat one small thing every day, your dream starts to feel real.
224
Not just an idea, but a tiny part of your routine.
225
You know what helps me?
226
I choose a clear time for my anchor.
227
For example, after dinner, I do 10 minutes of English.
228
Not sometime today.
229
Sometime is dangerous.
230
Yes, sometime usually means never.
231
So it's better to say, after breakfast, before bed, on the bus, during lunch.
232
You don't need a perfect plan.
233
You just need one tiny, reliable action that says to your dream every day, Hey, I didn't forget you.
234
Okay, next problem.
235
You sit down to do your anchor.
236
You open your notebook, and then your phone says, Hello, notification for you.
237
Or YouTube whispers, new video, just five minutes.
238
It's educational, kind of.
239
Yes, the internet always says just five minutes, but never means it.
240
So idea number three, protect your attention from dream thieves.
241
Dream thieves are those little things that steal your time and energy away from your dream,
242
like constant notifications, endless scrolling, or trying to multitask.
243
Multitask means doing many things at the same time, like studying English, checking messages, and watching cat videos together.
244
And the problem is, when you multitask, your attention becomes scattered.
245
It goes in many directions, and your brain feels tired.
246
So when it's time for your small dream action, make it special.
247
For just 10 or 15 minutes, put your phone on silent or do not disturb, close other apps or tabs,
248
tell your family, hey, I need a tiny quiet moment.
249
You don't have to do this for three hours.
250
Just a short, protected block of time where your dream is the star of the show.
251
For me, I even change my place sometimes.
252
I sit in a different chair or go to a cafe.
253
My brain feels, OK, this is the focus corner.
254
Yeah, your environment sends a message to your brain.
255
A clean table, a notebook, headphones.
256
It tells your mind we are serious now.
257
Serious, but still friendly.
258
You don't need to become a robot.
259
Hmm.
260
But even with all this, there will be days when you feel tired, stressed, or a little discouraged.
261
Yeah, days when your brain says, dreams, no thank you.
262
Today, I only want snacks and drama.
263
On those days, your mindset is very important.
264
Mindset means the way you think about something.
265
One small trick is to reconnect with your why, your personal reason for this dream.
266
For English, your why could be, I want to feel confident in meetings.
267
I want to travel without fear.
268
I want to help my children with homework.
269
You can write one sentence and put it somewhere visible near your desk, on your phone screen, in your notebook.
270
When you see it on a hard day, it gives you a little push.
271
Not a big push, just enough for one small action.
272
So maybe after this episode, you can write, My dream is...
273
My small daily action is...
274
My why is...
275
It doesn't have to be perfect English.
276
It just has to be honest.
277
And one more thing, if you miss a day or even a week, it doesn't mean your dream is over.
278
Yeah, your dream doesn't say, oh, you missed two days, goodbye, I'm leaving.
279
It's more patient than that.
280
So try to be flexible, not perfect.
281
Flexible means you can bend a little and then come back.
282
You can say, okay, last week was crazy, but today I will give my dream 10 honest minutes.
283
That's already a strong comeback.
284
Your dream doesn't need a perfect you.
285
It needs a you who comes back again and again, even with small steps.
286
So to stay focused on your dreams and goals, choose one main dream for the season, give it a daily anchor action,
287
protect your attention from dream thieves, keep your why visible, and be flexible when life is messy.
288
And remember you are not alone in this.
289
We also have days when our goals feel far away.
290
We also get distracted and lose momentum sometimes.
291
But we keep coming back.
292
And every time you press play on this podcast, you are also coming back to your dream.
293
Even if it's just for 20 minutes.
294
OK, so we talked about daily actions and focus.
295
But there is another problem, right?
296
Hmm.
297
You mean the moments when you feel like giving up?
298
Yes.
299
Or when other people don't really believe in your dream, that can hurt a lot.
300
Yeah, that feeling is heavy.
301
You're excited inside, but when you share your dream, someone says, that's impossible, or be realistic, or just laughs a little.
302
And sometimes it's not even other people.
303
Sometimes it's your own voice saying, maybe I'm too old, or I'm too late, or I'm not good enough.
304
So in this part, let's talk about how to protect your dream from other people's doubts and from your own negative thoughts.
305
Like giving your dream a small jacket and umbrella so it doesn't catch a cold.
306
Yes, a little emotional jacket.
307
I like that.
308
OK, let's start with other people.
309
Sometimes when you tell someone your dream, they say something that feels very discouraging.
310
Yeah.
311
Maybe you say, I want to speak English fluently, and they say, You?
312
At your age?
313
Or, You're too busy.
314
You'll never keep going.
315
That really hurts, especially when it comes from family or friends.
316
But here's something important.
317
Many times, their words are about their fear, not your limit.
318
They are scared of risk.
319
They feel insecure about their own dreams, so they prefer safe and comfortable, and they try to keep you there, too.
320
It's like you want to climb a small mountain, and they say, no, no, stay on the sofa.
321
It's dangerous up there.
322
But you're not asking them to climb.
323
You're asking them to support you.
324
So what can you do?
325
One idea.
326
Share your dream with people who understand your heart.
327
Maybe a friend, a teacher, a community, or even the comments under this podcast.
328
You don't have to tell every person everything.
329
You can keep your dream a little private and precious, like a small light you protect with your hands.
330
And if someone laughs or rolls their eyes, you can say politely in your mind,
331
Okay, you don't see it yet, but I see it.
332
You don't need everyone to approve your dream.
333
You just need a few people who believe in you, and one of them should be you.
334
Now, let's talk about the harder part, when you are tired and you want to give up on your own dream.
335
Yeah, when your energy is low, when you feel like, what's the point?
336
I'm not improving.
337
I'm too slow.
338
I have that voice, too.
339
Jake, your dream is too big.
340
Just stop.
341
It can be very loud some days.
342
Me, too.
343
Some days my brain says, Anna, your course idea is not special.
344
Many teachers are better than you.
345
Just forget it.
346
Maybe your brain says similar things about your English, your job, or your future.
347
On those days, don't make big decisions about your dream.
348
Just focus on one tiny thing.
349
For example, you can say, Today I feel bad.
350
I don't want to do 30 minutes, but I will still do 5 honest minutes.
351
This is how you show loyalty to your dream.
352
Loyalty means you stay with something, even when it's not easy.
353
So instead of asking, Am I strong enough for the next three years?
354
You ask, what can I do in the next 10 minutes?
355
10 minutes can feel small, but emotionally, it's very powerful.
356
It tells your heart, I still care.
357
And you can use a simple question every morning.
358
Today, am I for my dream or against my dream?
359
For means you support your dream with your thoughts, your words, and your actions.
360
And against means you only criticize it, ignore it, or say, later, later, later.
361
You don't have to be perfect every day.
362
But if most days you choose to be for your dream, even in a small way, you will move forward.
363
There's one more idea I really love.
364
Your dream is not a punishment or a heavy thing.
365
It's a direction.
366
Yes, a dream is like a compass.
367
A compass doesn't shout, you must arrive now.
368
It just quietly shows you this way.
369
Your dream is there to give you hope, to pull you through difficult seasons, to remind you that your current situation is not your final story.
370
So if you feel very stressed, maybe you can relax the pressure a little.
371
You don't have to reach your dream this year.
372
You just have to walk in that direction.
373
Step by step.
374
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow.
375
Sometimes you sit down and rest, but your face is still turned toward your dream.
376
And when you rest, that's okay too.
377
Rest is not failure.
378
Rest is also part of a long journey.
379
So maybe right now you can quietly ask yourself, if my dream is not a deadline,
380
but a direction, What is one gentle step I can take this week?
381
Hmm, that question is so powerful.
382
And I know we used some big words today when we talked about dreams and goals.
383
Yeah, we did throw a few big English words into your ears.
384
So maybe we should slow down and talk about them a little?
385
Yeah, let's do a tiny word tour before we finish.
386
And we have to start with one important word from today.
387
Priority.
388
Right.
389
Priority means the thing that comes first, the most important thing for you in this moment.
390
For example, this season, my English is my priority.
391
You're saying, out of many things, this one is number one for me.
392
Or family time is my priority on weekends.
393
It shows where your heart and energy go first.
394
Smooth.
395
Another word we used is distractions.
396
Mmm.
397
Distractions are things that pull your attention away.
398
So you can't focus on what you really want to do.
399
For example, my phone is my biggest distraction when I try to study English.
400
Or, noise in my house is a distraction when I want to read.
401
Your mind keeps jumping away from your goal.
402
Then we talked a lot about being consistent.
403
Yes.
404
Consistent means you do something regularly, again and again, not just once.
405
For example, I'm consistent with my dream.
406
I practice English ten minutes every day.
407
Or, she is very consistent with saving money.
408
She puts a little in her account every month.
409
Small, repeated actions.
410
We also used a beautiful word, loyalty.
411
I love that one.
412
Loyalty means you stay with a person, a dream, or a promise, even when it's difficult.
413
For example, I show loyalty to my dream by working on it even on tired days.
414
Or, he is loyal to his friend.
415
He supports him in good and bad times.
416
Loyalty is quiet, but very strong.
417
And we spoke about how your dream is not a deadline.
418
It's a direction.
419
Yes.
420
Direction is the way you are going, the side you are walking towards.
421
For example, my dream gives direction to my life.
422
It tells you which way to move.
423
Or, learning English is taking me in a new direction, toward better work and travel.
424
Not now, but this way.
425
And when you really want something, we sometimes say you chase your dream.
426
Chase means you run after something because you really want it.
427
For example, I'm chasing my dream of speaking English fluently.
428
Or she is chasing her dream job in another country.
429
You are not just waiting, you are moving toward it.
430
But sometimes, on the way, we feel discouraged.
431
Yes.
432
Discouraged means you feel low, sad, and you want to stop because things feel too hard.
433
For example, after many mistakes, I felt discouraged about my English.
434
Or he felt discouraged when people laughed at his dream.
435
But feeling discouraged doesn't mean you are weak.
436
It just means you need some kindness and a small new step.
437
Another important word from today is mindset.
438
Mindset is the way you think about something, your attitude.
439
For example, when I changed my mindset about mistakes, I started to enjoy learning English more.
440
Her mindset is positive.
441
She sees problems as practice, not as punishment.
442
Your mindset is like the glasses you wear in your mind.
443
And there was one more feeling word we used, tempted.
444
Tempted means you really want to do something that you know is not the best choice for you.
445
For example, I feel tempted to scroll on my phone instead of studying.
446
Or I feel tempted to forget my dream and just be comfortable.
447
The feeling is strong, but you still have a choice.
448
If you didn't catch every word, it's okay.
449
You can listen to this part again, slowly.
450
And if you want a small challenge, choose one of these words and make your own sentence.
451
You can say it in your head.
452
Or be brave and write it in the comments.
453
It's like sending your English brain to the gym.
454
Yeah, a small, friendly gym where everyone is learning together.
455
All right, my friend.
456
We talked about dreams, goals, focus, small actions, and how to protect your heart when things are hard.
457
And we hope you feel a little less alone with your dream now.
458
Before you go, think of one tiny step you can take today.
459
Not tomorrow.
460
Today.
461
Maybe listen to this episode again and repeat some lines.
462
Or write your dream and your why on a small paper.
463
Or do your 5 or 10 minutes of English practice.
464
And if you want to share, we'd love to read it.
465
In the comments, you can write, I'm your name from your country.
466
And one small step I will take for my dream this week is...
467
We really do read those.
468
And when we see your comment, we feel proud of you, like two friends cheering from the side of the road.
469
Yes, two friendly voices in your headphones with virtual pom-poms.
470
Always.
471
Thank you for spending this time with us and with your own dream.
472
Keep your dream as your direction.
473
Take small, honest steps.
474
And remember, you don't have to be perfect, you just have to come back.
475
This was the English Leap Podcast.
476
I'm Anna.
477
I'm Jake.
478
Take care, keep going, and we'll see you in the next episode.
479
Bye!

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "English Podcast For Easy English in Daily Life | Learn English Fast | Talk About Dreams and Goals" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास 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।
