शैडोइंग अभ्यास: How to THINK in English (and why you must) - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

You're never going to become fluent in English if you keep making this mistake.

You need to stop translating in your head from your own language into English.

You need to start thinking directly in English.

And that's why in today's video,

I want to talk to you about why this happens,

why it's a bad thing to translate from your own language into English,

and how you can start thinking directly in English.

Now, before we start, let's talk about why this is actually a problem.

Why shouldn't you translate from your own language into English?

Now, think about this.

If you're like most students, you have translated.

You have done this before.

You want to say something.

You have an idea.

you translate that idea into English,

you look for the correct grammar,

you look for the correct vocabulary,

maybe even pronunciation, and then finally you say it.

You say it out loud in English.

And what happens is it slows you down.

It's unnecessary.

You're creating this unnecessary step and we don't want that because you should be able to speak just like that

right without having to actually think about the mechanical side of the language you want to get rid of

that extra step because it's not natural it's not a natural way of speaking you don't do this in your native language.

You don't even think about language when you're speaking your native language.

So why should it be any different in English?

And obviously there is the problem of,

well, grammar in certain languages is completely different from grammar in English.

Some words in other languages don't have a translation in English.

So yes, it's obviously going to slow you down if you translate,

but in some cases it might not even be possible to translate from your own language into English.

It might be totally incorrect.

So forget translation.

Forget that.

You need to think directly in English without worrying about the mechanics of the language.

Now I want to talk to you about how you can actually do this.

How do you think directly in English?

How do you make speaking English something natural,

something comfortable, something that you don't need to think about?

Well, in English we have an expression.

Fake it it till you make it.

Fake it till you make it.

It means you pretend to do something until eventually after you do it a lot,

you got it.

You've made it.

You've succeeded.

Okay?

Fake it till you make it, we say.

And what I want you to do is fake being a native speaker.

Fake being a native English speaker.

Now the reason why your native language is so natural to you is

because your whole world when you grew up was in that language.

Your whole environment was in your native language.

And when you learn a second language or a third language,

which might be English or another language,

suddenly you have a different environment.

It's not the same.

Your parents might not speak it.

Your friends might not speak it.

You still do things in your native language.

And when I say fake it till you make it,

I mean pretend you're a native English speaker and live your life like a native English speaker would.

Surround yourself with the English language.

Think about what a native English speaker would do in the morning when he or she wakes up.

They'd turn on their phone.

Their phone would be in English.

Put your phone in English.

They would go get ready for the day.

Maybe they would watch YouTube as they brush their teeth in English.

Maybe they would turn on the radio as they prepared breakfast.

The radio would be in English.

Everything in their life would be in English.

Because that's their native language.

And since they're exposed to the language,

since they're surrounded by the language, it's natural to them.

They don't need to think about it.

They just speak.

And that's the key.

That is the key to becoming fluent in a language.

Surrounding yourself with the language.

Making the language part of you.

Part of your life.

If you don't do this,

it will always just be a school subject.

It will always be something that you have to study,

that you have to think about.

It will never be part of you.

So as I said, fake it till you make it.

Do the things that a native English speaker would do in their life.

It's not rocket science.

If you do the same things a native English speaker does to learn the language,

to live their life, then you can achieve the same results.

It's very simple.

And I think a lot of students forget this.

They're too focused on the textbook.

They're too focused on conjugation tables.

they're too focused on all these academic things

and I think a big problem

or a big part of this problem is the school system

100

because in school

101

when you learned English you probably learned in a very unnatural

102

way you probably divided your day into one hour of English and you sat down you read a textbook,

103

you did some exercises for that one hour.

104

And then after the class was over,

105

you switched into your own language,

106

which is fine, of course.

107

It's obvious why, but that method of compartmentalizing English or just blocking it off in a way won't help you become fluent

108

because it doesn't allow the language into your whole life.

109

If you're serious about becoming fluent,

110

you should allow the English language to consume you,

111

to be part of everything in your life, as much as possible.

112

Obviously, some things you can only do in your native language.

113

But the point here is that you need to pretend you're a native speaker.

114

Let's say you like to cook.

115

A student came to me recently and she loved cooking.

116

She loved reading recipes.

117

And I asked her, okay,

118

what language do you read those recipes in?

119

And she read them in her native language.

120

So that's a simple change.

121

I told her, read them in English.

122

You're cooking, you're doing something you love,

123

and you're also improving your English at the same time.

124

we say you're killing two birds with one stone maybe not a very nice idiom

125

but we say

126

that in English you're killing two birds with one stone you're doing two things at the same time

127

and you're getting double the benefit for less the time so it's not about creating extra time.

128

It's not about trying to find extra hours in the day.

129

It's about using the time you have in the 24-hour day and replacing some things.

130

Replacing things that you're already doing in your native language with things in English.

131

Maybe you're on the bus.

132

Maybe you're commuting to school or to work and you like to scroll through the news in your native language.

133

Well, that's another great fix you can make.

134

You can make that change.

135

You can now start to read the news in English.

136

Or maybe you like to listen to podcasts.

137

You can listen to the podcasts in English.

138

Maybe you like to create a to-do list before bed every night.

139

You can create this list in English.

140

Maybe you have a calendar.

141

You write things in your calendar.

142

You can do this in English.

143

Once you've allowed English into your life,

144

and of course you need to speak too,

145

it's great to surround yourself with the language,

146

but you also need to speak.

147

If you don't have anybody to speak to,

148

you can speak with yourself,

149

but there are so many resources online you can find people to speak to on various platforms.

150

One of those, by the way,

151

is the English at the Ready Club.

152

If you are interested in learning more about the club,

153

click the link in the description below.

154

It's an amazing opportunity to meet people to practice speaking to have live classes

155

and to study English every week but as I was saying the key is speaking

156

and surrounding yourself with the language now eventually

157

when you make this a habit don't do it for a week don't do it for two weeks

158

you need to do it for a month,

159

two, three or four months to actually see a difference.

160

But if you do this,

161

if you allow English into your life,

162

speaking is going to feel so much more natural.

163

Eventually you're not actually going to have to think about language.

164

You'll just be able to speak.

165

You'll be able to express your ideas without allowing language to slow you down or to burden you.

166

And when we talk about fluency,

167

that's the key to fluency.

168

Fluency doesn't mean being perfect.

169

It doesn't mean being able to conjugate verbs in all 12 tenses on the back of your hand 50 times

170

because honestly most native speakers probably couldn't do that either.

171

Fluency in a language whether that's English or your native language

172

just means

173

that you can express your ideas you can communicate your thoughts without allowing language to slow you down

174

or to burden you or to be a problem for you.

175

I'll give you an analogy.

176

Think about when you're sick.

177

Think about when you have a bad cold and your nose is really really stuffed.

178

You can't breathe through your nose.

179

All you can think of in that moment is, ah, I can't breathe.

180

My nose is so stuffed.

181

But then think of the remaining time in your life,

182

99% of the time when you can breathe just fine,

183

you're not actually thinking about your nose.

184

It just happens.

185

So, when you're allowing yourself to translate from your own language into English,

186

it's like you have a stuffed nose,

187

because that's all you can think of now.

188

But if you clear your nose and you think directly in English,

189

you won't even think about the language.

190

Everything will just flow.

191

It will be in the background operating while your ideas,

192

while your thoughts that you're communicating are in the front.

193

And that's what fluency is.

194

That's all it is, allowing yourself to express your ideas without feeling restricted by language.

195

So what I want you to do now,

196

if you've made it this far into the video,

197

I want you to create a plan.

198

Sit down, take 10 minutes,

199

15 minutes, come up with a list of things in your life.

200

Maybe that's reading recipes, maybe that's creating a to-do list,

201

a calendar, your phone, your computer, anything.

202

But create a list of things in your life that you can change into English.

203

Because remember, fake it till you make it.

204

Pretend you're a native speaker.

205

Do that for a while

206

and I'm very confident you will be surprised at how much progress you can make

207

and how confident you can feel with the English language.

208

I hope you found this video useful.

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।
