If I had a chance to study English again,
2
here's exactly four things that I definitely do to improve my speaking skills
3
and helps me to save more time as well as my efforts.
4
You've learned English for many years but you still find it hard when you want to explain your ideas.
5
You have a lot of vocabulary you can read and understand.
6
When people speak something simply,
7
you totally can understand them perfectly.
8
But when it's your turn to speak,
9
it seems like nearly impossible to say what you are really thinking.
10
You start searching for words and sometimes you completely forget them.
11
So what do you need to do and how you are gonna learn to fix this problem?
12
There are four ways that you should know and practice and I guarantee you,
13
your speaking skill will change in a traumatic way if you truly to maintain and practice every single day.
14
Learning by chunks.
15
If you really want to speak English fluently without getting stuck all the time,
16
you don't actually need more vocabulary.
17
What you really need is chunks.
18
So what is the difference between vocabulary and chunks?
19
Let me tell you, vocabulary is a single word.
20
For example, important.
21
That's vocabulary.
22
But when I say the most important thing, that's a chunk.
23
And here's what you need to know.
24
Native speakers, they don't communicate by using single words.
25
They communicate by using jokes.
26
That's why if you only learn individual vocabulary,
27
it's so hard for you to catch the flow when native speakers are talking.
28
But when you start to learn chunks,
29
suddenly things start to make sense to you.
30
And there's one more important thing is memory.
31
Chunks are much easier to remember because they already contain content and meaning, you know.
32
And our brain connects much better with things that have context,
33
meaning, and even emotion.
34
So whenever I find a chunk that sounds good to me,
35
and I feel like, oh,
36
it's useful, and I'm gonna use it more often when I speak,
37
I'm gonna write it down,
38
and I try to read many examples of that chunk to make sure
39
that I can understand how it's used in real life.
40
I mostly get jokes from YouTube,
41
podcasts, or short English videos, kind of like that.
42
And remember, you only need to learn what you will actually use.
43
You don't need to learn everything.
44
Number two, explaining.
45
I don't know what is your purpose of learning language.
46
But for me, someone who can explain what they want to say,
47
and their friends can understand exactly their messages,
48
then they are a good language learner.
49
Explaining is a skill which is really neat to have
50
when you learn a new language because you need to learn how to speak in your mind,
51
how to transform your complicated thoughts into simple words,
52
simple sentences in a way that other people can understand you.
53
And here's what I usually do.
54
I randomly pick any drinks or any phrases and I try to explain it by what I can understand.
55
For example, a morning person.
56
So what does a morning person mean?
57
A person who likes to wake up early in the morning to do what they like.
58
It can be drinking coffee,
59
doing exercise and waking up early helps them to have more time to do important things,
60
to do necessary things, and they can make a plan for a new day.
61
Like, I tried so hard to explain it in my own words.
62
Keeping to this homework, you're gonna start to build,
63
you know, the habit of speaking into your mind.
64
And most importantly, this homework gives you more chances to use simple words,
65
simple sentence structures again and again.
66
3. Imitating listening.
67
So what is the difference between imitating and shadowing?
68
Let me explain.
69
You just need to understand it in a very simple way.
70
Imitating is basically you still copy the way they speak,
71
the pronunciation, the intonation, sentence structures, right?
72
But the key difference here is that you are aware of what you are saying.
73
You're not copied unconsciously.
74
You know the meaning of the sentence.
75
Like, you create a strong connection between your emotion and the sentences that you are imitating.
76
So the key word here is understanding.
77
And honestly, you only can learn with what you understand.
78
Number four, practicing through conversation.
79
What I like most about this way is
80
that I have to imagine myself in real situations and prepare for what I want to say.
81
For example, I often go to the cafe to work.
82
So it's like how I'm going to ask when I need a chair
83
when my phone has low battery but there's no power outlet.
84
what I should say to the staff.
85
I don't like that.
86
Whenever I don't know how to say,
87
I'm gonna ask Jack GPT for help.
88
I'm trying to read many examples as much as I can until I can really understand.
89
After that, I'm gonna ask Jack GPT to create the situation for me and I roleplay.
90
So when I'm in the real situation, I'm not nervous anymore.
91
I know how to say and how to handle certain problems.
92
Nowadays, I feel like we have so many chances and convenience to learn to support our learning progress.
93
But no matter what you do and what you have,
94
being active in learning is the fastest way to be mastered in any skill.
95
And that's everything I would love to share in this video.
96
I hope you enjoy and you can use my video to practice your listening and to imitate my video if you want.
97
I'm Jess.
98
If you have any problems in learning English,
99
just feel free to share with me.
100
I'm here to listen to you,
101
listen to your story and help you to be better in speaking English.
102
Bye!

Perché praticare il parlato con questo video?

Se hai studiato l'inglese per molti anni ma ancora fatichi a esprimere le tue idee, questo video offre strategie preziose per migliorare le tue capacità di conversazione. Non si tratta solo di accumulare parole di vocabolario, ma di imparare come utilizzare frasi intere, comunemente chiamate chunks. Imparando a utilizzare questi pezzi di linguaggio, potrai interagire più facilmente con i madrelingua e aumentare la tua fluidità. La pratica di conversazione in inglese è fondamentale per guadagnare fiducia e migliorare l'abilità di esprimere pensieri complessi senza esitazioni.

Grammatica ed Espressioni nel Contesto

Nel video, il relatore offre alcuni suggerimenti chiave sulla parlata. Ecco tre strutture importanti da considerare:

  • Utilizzo di frasi fatte: Frasi come "the most important thing" mostrano come collegare idee in modo naturale. Invece di isolare parole, apprendere espressioni complete ti aiuta a comunicare in modo più efficace.
  • Chiarezza nell'esposizione: Il relatore utilizza l'espressione "if you only learn individual vocabulary", con lo scopo di chiarire la differenza fra la conoscenza di parole isolane e la capacità di utilizzare l'inglese in un contesto pratico.
  • L'importanza del contesto: La frase "chunks are much easier to remember" mette in evidenza come la nostra mente lavori meglio con espressioni dotate di significato e connessione emotiva.

Trappole Comuni di Pronuncia

Quando pratichi la pronuncia, potrebbero esserci alcune parole o suoni che risultano particolarmente difficili. Comprendere quali siano questi ostacoli è essenziale per il miglioramento. Alcuni termini che potresti trovare impegnativi includono:

  • Chunks: La pronuncia corretta di «chunks» è fondamentale; potresti essere tentato di pronunciarlo come un singolo suono invece di segmentarlo correttamente.
  • Important: Ricorda che il modo corretto di enfatizzare le sillabe in parole come «important» può fare la differenza nella tua fluidità.
  • Explaining: Pratica la pronuncia di «explaining» in contesti diversi per migliorare la tua sicurezza quando ti esprimi.

Per combinare queste tecniche nella tua routine di apprendimento quotidiano, considera l'idea di utilizzare shadow speech e shadowspeaks per affinare le tue competenze. Imparare l'inglese con YouTube, seguendo video di conversazione, può rendere la tua pratica di conversazione in inglese più interattiva e divertente. Dedica del tempo ogni giorno all'ascolto e alla ripetizione di frasi, e vedrai miglioramenti significativi nella tua capacità di esprimerti.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?

Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
