Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello, Judy.

Hello, everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I'm doing well, thank you.

I woke up early this morning and made a list of things I want to do this year.

It felt really good.

And you, Jake?

I'm great.

I had a long walk with Max this morning, and while I was walking, I was thinking about my future.

Your future?

That sounds deep, Jake.

I know, right?

But it's true.

I was thinking about things I want to do, places I want to visit, skills I want to learn.

Well, that's perfect, because today we're talking about exactly that.

Really?

What's our topic?

Today we're talking about how to talk about your dreams and goals in English.

How do you say what you want?

How do you share your plans?

How do you talk about your future?

That's such a useful topic.

Let's do it.

But first, we have a small request.

Yes.

If you like our podcast, please click the like button.

Please subscribe to enjoy English talks.

And share this episode with your friends and family.

Thank you.

It helps us so much.

We love our listeners.

Okay.

Now let's start.

So, Judy, why is it important to talk about dreams and goals?

That's a great question.

When you learn English, you don't just learn grammar and words.

You learn to express yourself.

And one of the most important things you can express is what you want in life.

Like when someone asks, what do you want to do in the future?

Exactly.

Maybe someone at work asks you.

Maybe a friend asks you.

Maybe you're writing about yourself.

You need the right words.

And I think many learners know what they want, but they don't know how to say it in English.

That's why we have five tips today.

Five ways to talk about your dreams and goals.

Each tip has special phrases you can use right away.

Five tips.

I'm ready.

Our first tip is called name your dream.

Name your dream?

What does that mean?

It means say your dream out loud.

Put it into words.

Many people have dreams inside their head, but they never say them.

Today, we're going to practice saying them.

Okay.

How do I start?

The easiest way is my dream is to, and then you say what you want.

For example, my dream is to travel the world.

My dream is to travel the world.

That sounds nice.

Or, my dream is to speak English fluently.

Ooh, my dream is to speak English fluently.

Fluently means smoothly and naturally.

That's my real dream.

See?

You just said it.

You named it.

And there's another way.

You can say, I've always wanted to.

This means you've had this dream for a long time.

I've always wanted to, um, I've always wanted to visit Japan.

Beautiful.

I've always wanted to visit Japan.

That tells me this dream has been in your heart for many years.

It has, since I was a kid.

I love the food, the culture, everything.

And there's one more way.

You can say, one day I'd like to… This is very soft and dreamy.

One day I'd like to open a small café.

One day I'd like to open a small cafe.

With pasta on the menu, of course. Of course.

So three phrases.

My dream is to, I've always wanted to, and one day I'd like to.

Got it.

Name your dream.

Say it out loud.

And here's the thing.

When you say your dream out loud, something changes.

It becomes real.

It's not just a thought in your head anymore.

It's a sentence.

It's words.

And words have power.

100

Words have power.

101

I believe that.

102

Try it now.

103

Listeners, pause the podcast.

104

Say one dream out loud.

105

Use my dream is two.

106

You can whisper it.

107

You can say it in your car.

108

Just say it.

109

And it's okay if your dream is small.

110

My dream is to read one English book.

111

That's a great dream.

112

Exactly.

113

Every dream matters.

114

Okay.

115

What's our second tip?

116

Our second tip is set a goal.

117

Set a goal.

118

Okay.

119

What's the difference between a dream and a goal?

120

Great question.

121

A dream is big and far away, like, I want to travel the world.

122

A goal is smaller and more specific, like, I want to visit two new countries this year.

123

Ah, I see.

124

A dream is the big picture.

125

A goal is the step you take.

126

Exactly.

127

And there are two types of goals, short-term goals and long-term goals.

128

Short-term and long-term.

129

Yes.

130

A short-term goal is something you want to do soon, this week, this month, this year.

131

A long-term goal is something for the future, in five years, in ten years.

132

Can you give me examples?

133

Sure.

134

A short-term goal, my goal is to read one English book this month.

135

A long-term goal, my goal is to become fluent in English in two years.

136

Let me try.

137

My short-term goal is to learn ten new English words this week.

138

Perfect.

139

And my long-term goal is to have a conversation in English without translating in my head.

140

That's a wonderful goal, Jake.

141

And notice the phrase, my goal is to.

142

Very simple, very clear.

143

My goal is to.

144

Easy to remember.

145

You can also say, I'm aiming to.

146

This sounds a bit more natural.

147

I'm aiming to finish this project by Friday.

148

I'm aiming to finish this project by Friday.

149

Yes, that sounds good.

150

The key is to make your goals specific.

151

Don't just say, I want to learn English.

152

Say, I want to learn five new words every day.

153

That's a goal you can measure.

154

Specific and measurable.

155

Measurable means you can count it or check it.

156

Got it.

157

And write it down.

158

When you write your goal on paper, you remember it better.

159

I write my goals in a small notebook.

160

Every morning, I read them.

161

I should try that.

162

Write my goals and read them every day.

163

What's our next tip?

164

Now, our third tip.

165

Talk about your plan.

166

Talk about my plan.

167

So I have a dream, I have a goal, now I need a plan?

168

Yes.

169

A plan is how you're going to reach your goal.

170

And in English, we have some great phrases for this.

171

Tell me.

172

The first one is, I'm going to.

173

This is for things you've decided to do.

174

I'm going to study English for 30 minutes every morning.

175

I'm going to study English for 30 minutes every morning.

176

That's a strong statement.

177

Yes, I'm going to shows you've already decided.

178

You're not thinking about it.

179

You're doing it.

180

What's another phrase?

181

I'm working on.

182

This means you've already started.

183

You're in the middle of doing something.

184

I'm working on my pronunciation.

185

I'm working on my pronunciation.

186

That's true, actually.

187

See?

188

It describes something you're already doing, not in the future, right now.

189

I like that.

190

It feels active, like I'm already moving.

191

Exactly.

192

And one more.

193

My plan is to.

194

This is like my goal is to, but it focuses on the action.

195

My plan is to practice shadowing every evening.

196

My plan is to practice shadowing every evening.

197

Perfect.

198

So, three phrases for talking about your plan.

199

I'm going to, I'm working on, and my plan is to.

200

Got it.

201

And here's a tip.

202

When someone asks you about your future, Don't just say what you want.

203

Say what you're doing about it.

204

That shows confidence.

205

So instead of I want to speak English better, I say I'm working on speaking English better.

206

Exactly.

207

Much stronger.

208

And people will take you more seriously.

209

That's true.

210

I'm working on it sounds more professional than I want to.

211

Yes.

212

Because I'm working on it means you've already started.

213

You're not just dreaming, you're doing.

214

Dreaming is good, but doing is better.

215

I love that Jake dreaming is good

216

but doing is better okay what's our next tip here comes

217

our fourth tip share your progress share my progress yes

225

Another phrase is, I started, followed by something you began recently.

226

I started reading English books.

227

I started reading English books.

228

Well, I started reading short stories.

229

Books are a little scary.

230

231

Short stories are books too.

232

And the fact that you started is amazing.

233

Most people just think about it.

234

You actually did it.

235

Thank you, Judy.

236

You can also say, so far I've.

237

This is for sharing results.

238

So far I've learned about 200 new words.

239

So far I've learned about 200 new words.

240

Hmm.

241

Is that a lot?

242

That's great.

243

200 words is a big step.

244

And notice how so far means up until now.

245

It shows your journey isn't finished.

246

You're still going.

247

So far, up until now.

248

I like that.

258

Thank you.

259

That means a lot.

260

And our last tip, encourage others.

261

Encourage others?

262

Why is this a tip about goals?

263

Because talking about dreams and goals isn't just about you.

264

It's about the people around you.

265

When you hear someone's dream, you can encourage them.

266

And when someone encourages you, it gives you energy.

267

That's true.

268

When you tell me, good job, I want to keep going.

269

Exactly.

270

So let me teach you some phrases.

271

The simplest one is, you can do it.

272

You can do it.

273

Simple and powerful.

274

Yes.

275

And another one, don't give up.

276

When someone is struggling, this means a lot.

277

Don't give up.

278

I've heard that before and it always helps.

279

You can also say, I believe in you.

280

This is very personal and warm.

281

I believe in you.

282

That's beautiful, Judy.

283

And if someone shares their progress, you can say, that's amazing.

284

Keep going.

285

or I'm so proud of you.

286

I'm so proud of you.

287

I'd love to hear that from someone.

288

Well, Jake, I'm so proud of you, really.

289

You practice English every day.

290

You show up, you try.

291

That takes courage.

292

Thank you, Judy.

293

That really means a lot to me.

294

And to all our listeners, we're proud of you, too.

295

Learning a language isn't easy, but you're doing it.

296

Every day, you listen, you learn, you grow.

297

Don't stop.

298

Don't stop.

299

You can do it.

300

And there's one more thing.

301

When you encourage someone, you're also encouraging yourself.

302

Saying you can do it reminds your brain that these things are possible.

303

That's true.

304

When I say don't give up to someone else, I feel stronger too.

305

Exactly.

306

Words have power.

307

Use them for yourself and for the people around you.

308

318

So far, I've practiced for about three months, and I'm getting better at listening.

319

I used to be scared of speaking, but now I'm more confident.

320

Jake, that was perfect.

321

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।
