शैडोइंग अभ्यास: How to Learn English with a Growth Mindset | Real English Conversation Practice - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

Okay, let's start!

Hello everyone and welcome back to Mr. English Channel,

where learning English is easy and fun.

I'm Emily.

Hello Emily.

It is so good to be here again,

and I am very happy to talk to you today.

How are you doing?

I am doing great, Paul.

I am very excited because today we are talking about something that helps every student.

We are talking about the growth mindset.

That is a fantastic topic.

Many people think they are born with a certain level of intelligence and they can never change it.

But that is not true at all.

You are so right, Paul.

A growth mindset means you believe you can learn anything if you try.

It's like a small plant that grows every day with water and sun.

Exactly.

It is the idea that our brain is like a muscle.

If we exercise it, it gets stronger.

I love that idea.

When I was younger, I thought I was bad at math.

I told myself, Emily, you are just not a math person.

That's a fixed mindset.

I understand that feeling.

A fixed mindset is like a closed door.

You say, I can't do this, and you stop trying.

It's very sad because you have so much potential.

But a growth mindset opens the door.

Instead of saying, I can't do this,

you say, I can't do this yet.

That one little word changes everything.

Yet is a very powerful word in English.

It means that success is coming in the future.

You are on a journey and you are moving forward every single day.

Yes.

For our listeners, if you feel like you can't speak English well, just add yet.

Say, I don't speak perfect English yet.

Doesn't that feel better?

It feels much better.

It takes the pressure away.

We need to have patience with ourselves.

Growth takes time, just like a tree doesn't grow in one night.

That is a great point, Paul.

Sometimes students want to be perfect in one week.

But progress is better than perfection.

We must celebrate the small steps.

I agree completely.

In my life, I try to focus on being a little better than I was yesterday.

It's about discipline and having a good heart for the process.

So, Paul, why do you think some people learn faster than others?

Is it because they're smarter,

or is it because of their mindset?

That is a great question.

I think people who learn fast are usually people who are not afraid of challenges.

They see a difficult task as a chance to grow,

not a reason to quit.

Wow, that is so true.

When I see a long,

difficult word in English, I feel a bit nervous.

But then I think, if I learn this word,

I will be smarter than before.

That is the spirit.

When we face a challenge,

our brain creates new connections.

It's like building a bridge.

Every time you practice, the bridge gets stronger.

I often tell my students that mistakes are actually good things,

but many people feel ashamed when they make a mistake.

How can we change that feeling?

We must be humble.

Humility is knowing that we don't know everything.

When we make a mistake,

it is just a sign that we are trying something new.

Yes, exactly.

I like to say mistakes are proof that you are trying.

If you never make a mistake,

maybe you are not challenging yourself enough.

That is very wise.

Imagine a baby learning to walk.

The baby falls down many times,

but the baby never says,

well, I guess walking is not for me.

That would be very funny.

The baby She just gets up and tries again.

We need to be like that baby when we study English grammar or pronunciation.

We really do.

We need to have perseverance.

That means you keep going even when things are difficult.

It's a very important quality for success in life.

It is about being kind to yourself, too.

If a friend makes a mistake,

you don't shout at them.

You say, it's okay.

Try again.

We should talk to ourselves like a friend.

I love that.

Instead of saying, I'm so stupid,

say, I'm learning something new and it's okay to take my time.

100

Positive words change our energy.

101

Let's talk about talent.

102

Some people say, oh, she has a talent for languages.

103

Does talent matter more than hard work?

104

Talent is like a gift,

105

but a gift is useless if you don't use it.

106

Hard work and consistency are much more important.

107

A person with less talent but more discipline will win.

108

That is very encouraging.

109

It means that everyone listening right now can become fluent.

110

You don't need a special English brain.

111

You just need to keep showing up.

112

Exactly.

113

It's about the power of practice.

114

If you practice for 15 minutes every day,

115

you will see a huge difference after one year.

116

Consistency is the key.

117

But Paul, sometimes people say,

118

I'm too old to learn.

119

Is that part of a fixed mindset?

120

Oh, definitely.

121

That is a very common fixed mindset thought.

122

Your brain can learn at any age.

123

It might be a bit different,

124

but the capacity to grow is always there.

125

Yes.

126

I have students who are 70 years old and they are doing amazing.

127

They have so much joy because they are finally learning something they always wanted.

128

That is beautiful.

129

It shows that learning has no age limit.

130

It is all about your attitude.

131

If you believe you can learn,

132

your brain will follow your belief.

133

If you are enjoying this conversation,

134

don't forget to like the video,

135

subscribe to the channel, and share it with a friend who is learning English.

136

Yes, we love having you here with us.

137

If you are still listening, comment GROWTH below.

138

We want to see who is ready to grow.

139

I can't wait to see the comments.

140

Now, Paul, let's talk about how to change our thoughts.

141

How can we stop the fixed mindset voice in our heads?

142

The first step is to listen to that voice.

143

When you hear yourself say,

144

I am not good at this, stop for a second.

145

Recognize that it is just a thought, not the truth.

146

And then we can replace it.

147

If my brain says, this grammar is too hard,

148

I can say, this grammar is a puzzle,

149

and I'm learning how to solve it.

150

I like that.

151

It makes it feel like a game.

152

Instead of, I failed the test,

153

you can say, I learned what I need to study more.

154

It's a shift in perspective.

155

It's about being curious instead of being judgmental.

156

When I make a mistake in a conversation,

157

I try to think, oh, that's interesting.

158

Why did I say that?

159

That curiosity is very helpful.

160

It takes the pain away from the error.

161

You are like a scientist studying your own progress.

162

You are looking for data, not for failure.

163

That's a great way to put it.

164

Paul, you mentioned discipline earlier.

165

How does discipline help our mindset,

166

when we feel tired or bored?

167

Discipline is doing what you need to do even when you don't feel like it.

168

When we have a purpose,

169

like helping our family or getting a better job, discipline becomes easier.

170

So having a why is important.

171

My why is that I want to connect with people from all over the world.

172

That makes me want to learn and grow every day.

173

That is a beautiful purpose.

174

When your purpose is about others and about being a better person,

175

you find a lot of strength.

176

You don't give up easily.

177

What about the people around us?

178

Does our environment affect our growth mindset?

179

Absolutely.

180

If you are around people who always complain and say life is hard,

181

it is difficult to grow.

182

You need to find people who encourage you.

183

That is why our community here is so great.

184

We are all here to support each other.

185

We We want to see everyone succeed in their English journey.

186

Yes.

187

Surrounding yourself with positive influences is like putting your plant in good soil.

188

You will grow much faster and much taller.

189

Sometimes I feel like I am not improving at all.

190

I look back at my notes from last month,

191

and I feel like I am in the same place.

192

Is that normal?

193

It is very normal.

194

Progress is not a straight line.

195

Sometimes you go up.

196

Sometimes you stay flat for a while.

197

But as long as you don't stop, you are still moving.

198

That is very comforting to hear.

199

I call those flat moments plateaus.

200

It feels like nothing is happening,

201

but your brain is actually organizing the information.

202

Exactly.

203

It's like a building.

204

You don't see the progress when they're working on the foundation underground,

205

but it's the most important part.

206

Wow.

207

I never thought of it that way.

208

The underground work is the hard study and the listening practice that we do every day.

209

Yes.

210

And one day, suddenly, you will realize you can understand a movie or have a conversation without thinking too much.

211

That's when the building appears.

212

That is the best feeling in the world.

213

It makes all the hard work worth it.

214

We just have to trust the process and have faith in ourselves.

215

Having faith is very important.

216

You have to believe that the seeds you are planting today will become flowers tomorrow.

217

You just need to keep watering them.

218

So, for our listeners who want to start today,

219

what is one simple thing they can do to practice a growth mindset?

220

I suggest writing down one fixed thought they have.

221

For example, I will never understand phrasal verbs.

222

Then cross it out and write the growth version.

223

Oh, like, I'm learning phrasal verbs slowly but surely,

224

or I'm getting better at phrasal verbs every time I use them.

225

Yes, put that paper on your wall or your mirror and read the growth version every morning.

226

It sounds simple, but it really changes how your brain works.

227

That is a powerful exercise.

228

I will do that too.

229

I want to grow in my patience.

230

I will write, I am becoming a more patient person every day.

231

That is a great one.

232

And I will write, I am learning to listen better to the people I love.

233

We can all grow in many ways, not just in English.

234

That is so true.

235

A growth mindset helps in your career,

236

in your relationships, and in your health.

237

It is a way of living life with hope.

238

Hope is a very strong word.

239

It means looking at the future with a smile.

240

With a growth mindset, the future is always full of possibilities.

241

I love that.

242

The future is full of possibilities.

243

That is a great phrase for our students to remember.

244

It really is.

245

Even if today was a hard day for your English studies,

246

tomorrow is a new chance to try again.

247

The sun always rises.

248

Paul, do you have any stories of when you had to use a growth mindset?

249

Maybe something that was very difficult for you?

250

Hmm, let me think.

251

Yes, when I first started public speaking, I was terrified.

252

My hands were shaking and I forgot my words.

253

I felt like a failure.

254

Oh no, what did you do?

255

Did you want to quit?

256

I did want to quit.

257

I told myself, Paul, you are not a speaker.

258

Stop doing this.

259

But then I remembered that everyone starts at the beginning.

260

Yes, even the best speakers were beginners once.

261

Exactly.

262

So I decided to treat every speech like a lesson.

263

I watched videos of myself,

264

and instead of being angry,

265

I looked for one thing to improve next time.

266

That is the perfect example of a growth mindset.

267

You analyzed your mistakes without destroying yourself emotionally.

268

You used them to get better.

269

It took time, but now I actually enjoy speaking.

270

If I had stayed in my fixed mindset,

271

I would have missed so many amazing opportunities to help people.

272

That is so inspiring, Paul.

273

It shows that our weaknesses can actually become our strengths if we have the right attitude.

274

They really can.

275

It just takes courage to be a beginner.

276

Many people are afraid to look silly or stupid,

277

so they never try anything new.

278

We must lose the fear of looking silly.

279

When I speak a new language,

280

I know I sound a bit funny sometimes,

281

but I just laugh and keep talking.

282

That is the best way to do it.

283

A sense of humor is a great tool for growth.

284

If you can laugh at your mistakes,

285

they lose their power over you.

286

Yes.

287

Oops, I said the wrong word.

288

How funny.

289

And then you move on.

290

It is much better than being stressed and worried all the time.

291

Stress kills learning.

292

When we are stressed, our brain closes.

293

When we are relaxed and happy, we learn much faster.

294

So, have fun with your English.

295

That is our main goal here at Mr. English Channel.

296

We want you to enjoy the journey.

297

is a gift, not a punishment.

298

Very well said, Emily.

299

It is a privilege to be able to learn and expand our minds.

300

We should be thankful for every new word we learn.

301

I am thankful for this conversation.

302

I feel very motivated now.

303

I hope our listeners feel the same way too.

304

I'm sure they do.

305

You all have the power to change your mindset.

306

You are capable, you are strong, and you are growing.

307

Before we go, let's review a few growth phrases our listeners can use.

308

Paul, can you give us one?

309

Sure.

310

Instead of, this is too hard,

311

say, this may take some time and effort.

312

Good one.

313

And instead of, I made a mistake,

314

say, mistakes help me learn.

315

Great.

316

How about this one?

317

Instead of, I'm not good at this,

318

say, I am training my brain to do this.

319

I love that.

320

Training my brain.

321

It makes us sound like athletes.

322

We are English athletes.

323

We practice every day to become better and stronger.

324

I am going to use that from now on.

325

I am an English athlete.

326

It gives me so much confidence.

327

It should.

328

You are doing something amazing.

329

Learning a second language is a big challenge and you should be proud of yourself.

330

We are very proud of all of you.

331

Remember, don't compare your Chapter 1 to someone else's Chapter 20.

332

Your journey is unique.

333

That is very important.

334

Focus on your own progress.

335

Be patient, be consistent, and keep that growth mindset shining bright.

336

Well, that is all for today's episode.

337

Thank you so much for listening and for being part of our English family.

338

It was a pleasure as always.

339

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।
