Hey English learners!
2
Welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.
3
I hope you're doing well and that you're ready to practice your listening.
4
Today I want to talk about what makes a good English learner.
5
And of course this is for any language, not just an English learner,
6
but a good French learner, a good Spanish learner.
7
What makes a good language learner?
8
So I want to talk about four things that make a good English learner.
9
There are many more things but I want to highlight four.
10
And before we continue on, if you can understand me in this video
11
and it's pretty easy for you to understand what I'm saying but you can't understand native speakers when they speak fast,
12
then my listening training is for you.
13
So make sure you sign up for my membership
14
and you'll get access to my listening practice seminars in which I help you understand native speakers when they speak fast.
15
So at the time of recording this, it's only two dollars a month to sign up.
16
It's cheap, affordable, you should do that.
17
The link is down below.
18
Do that so you can improve your listening.
19
So let's talk about some different things that make a good English learner or or language learner in general.
20
So, number one, an interest in other cultures.
21
When you're interested in other cultures, this gives you a reason,
22
this gives you motivation to learn the language that you're learning,
23
even if it's challenging, Even if you're having trouble,
24
it's difficult for you, you hit a plateau perhaps,
25
regardless of these things, if you have a real interest, a genuine interest in other cultures,
26
and specifically the culture that speaks the language that you're learning,
27
your case English, so perhaps it's American culture,
28
Canadian culture, Australian culture, British culture, whatever.
29
If you have that intense interest in that culture, it gives you a reason.
30
And having a reason to learn a language is super powerful.
31
This makes all the difference, okay?
32
When you have a reason, you actually want to do it.
33
You don't just have to learn the language, but you want to.
34
That's super helpful and motivating and it makes it easier, I think.
35
It makes you have less resistance when you encounter differences,
36
when you see that the language that you're learning,
37
English for example, has these linguistic differences that you don't quite understand.
38
For a lot of people, that can make it hard for them to continue on with their language learning.
39
But if you're interested in other cultures, the culture that speaks the language that you're learning,
40
you are more likely to accept these differences.
41
These differences aren't necessarily a problem.
42
You're actually kind of interested in the differences, just like you're interested in the different culture.
43
So that helps a lot.
44
It helped me a lot when I was learning Spanish.
45
At that time, I I was super interested in Latin America, in Mexico in particular.
46
I was super excited about discovering that culture,
47
getting to know the different aspects of life and culture,
48
and it helped me accept the differences that I was encountering with the Spanish language.
49
So that was something that really helped me.
50
It really aided me in my language learning.
51
And for example, if you're looking to become more interested in US culture,
52
if you want to learn more and get excited about learning about the different states and cities in the US,
53
I encourage you to check out my US Conversations podcast in
54
which I talk to different English teachers from around the country about their state, their city.
55
It's a lot of fun, so that link is down below.
56
Next, the thing I also,
57
the next thing I wanted to mention was that patience really helps someone be a better language learner, okay?
58
You shouldn't be discouraged about how long it takes.
59
Learning a language takes a long time, let's be honest, okay?
60
We should be realistic about our expectations.
61
We shouldn't expect to become fluent quickly because that's just simply not the case, okay?
62
It's important to understand this and to be patient with yourself and to be patient during this process.
63
Don't force things.
64
Don't try to force it to go super, super fast.
65
Of course, try to do as much as you can so that you can learn more quickly.
66
In general, obviously, you can do that, but don't force it.
67
Don't get too anxious about needing to speak really quickly or needing to understand everything really quickly.
68
Be patient, right?
69
If you put in the work and you're regular with it, it will come, okay?
70
So don't force it.
71
Be patient with yourself.
72
You're gonna make the same mistakes again and again and again hundreds of times in some cases, okay?
73
That actually happens.
74
Sometimes it literally takes like 200 times before you finally say it right.
75
Okay, most of the time you can probably learn things more quickly than that.
76
But sometimes you make the same mistake many times, dozens of times, okay?
77
And you forget things, all right?
78
We forget things that we learned in the past.
79
And so you're gonna make the same mistakes again and again.
80
You're gonna forget things that you learned.
81
So you need to be patient with yourself.
82
Be patient during this process.
83
People often give up too soon because they're not patient.
84
They just assume that because it's not easy for them, because it's taking a while,
85
This means that they are not talented at language learning.
86
It's just not for them, right?
87
They come to this conclusion, but in reality, they're just not patient, right?
88
I've been learning languages for years.
89
It's a slow process in most cases, unless you are just forced to learn really quickly for some reason.
90
Sometimes that happens, but most of the time that doesn't.
91
You have time, you don't need to learn in two months or else your life is over.
92
That's usually not the case.
93
And because of that, it takes a while.
94
Okay, so a good language learner is patient during the language learning process and they're patient with themselves.
95
Okay, next, a good language learner has humility.
96
They are humble.
97
So what does this mean?
98
They're willing to be like a small child.
99
Okay, they're willing to be like a little kid who's just learning something for the first time
100
because you're going to get corrected you're gonna say things that quite honestly sound funny or sometimes even ridiculous, okay?
101
I don't mean that in a bad way.
102
We all go through that as language learners.
103
We say ridiculous things and it's funny.
104
There's nothing wrong with that, okay?
105
I have young children.
106
My son says some pretty funny, sometimes ridiculous things, and it's funny and we laugh at it, and he laughs at it.
107
He doesn't get all offended that we're laughing at something silly that he said wrong or whatever.
108
We laugh at it and we make it a positive experience.
109
My son thinks it's hilarious when he accidentally says the wrong word, for example.
110
And that's how we need to be as language learners, okay?
111
We need to laugh at ourselves, be humble, not expect to be really good
112
and expect to be able to say everything we want to say naturally from the beginning.
113
It doesn't work like that.
114
We need to humble ourselves and understand that we need help.
115
We need to get corrected.
116
We need to ask other people for help, perhaps, when we're learning a language.
117
We need to not take ourselves too seriously.
118
And like I said, we need to laugh at our mistakes.
119
If you can't laugh at your mistakes, language learning is not going to be fun.
120
It's going to be pretty stressful.
121
And when language learning is stressful, it's often not effective.
122
You often don't progress the way you would like to progress.
123
So laugh at yourself, be like a small child,
124
accept that you are not at the level as other people or as native speakers.
125
Okay, all of that is important.
126
All right, humility.
127
Lastly, a good language learner is willing to challenge themselves.
128
okay they need to be able to use content
129
that is actually challenging for them okay content that's a little above your level
130
that contains things that are hard to understand perhaps
131
and you do this so that you can reach
132
that level it's like going to the gym if you always lift the same amount of weight because it's comfortable for you,
133
then you're not gonna get stronger and lift heavier weight.
134
You have to put more weight on the bar or whatever
135
and try that even though it's challenging in order to become accustomed to that new weight.
136
The same thing goes for language learning.
137
You need to challenge yourself
138
and use content that's a little bit harder than what you're comfortable with
139
and that will get you accustomed to content at that level.
140
A really practical example of this is
141
that many people just use my normal podcast episodes
142
or perhaps they use my YouTube videos in which I speak slowly and they refuse to start listening to more advanced content.
143
They refuse to listen to my advanced episodes, for example, or they just put that off and say,
144
I'll do that later.
145
I'll do that next year, right?
146
And they don't do what they should be doing,
147
which is challenging themselves to actually get accustomed to what fast English sounds like.
148
If that's your case, if you're comfortable with the way I'm talking now,
149
if you're comfortable with my podcast episodes and you just want to stay here,
150
that's gonna cause your improvement to go slowly.
151
It's going to cause you to not progress as quickly as you would like to.
152
You have to challenge yourself.
153
So, for example, like I said, if this content is easy for you, start using more advanced content.
154
Use my advanced episodes or use other content that is more challenging.
155
right?
156
And then, of course, you need to eventually start to listen to more than one person talking, right?
157
That's what I always talk about when I talk about my U.S.
158
Conversations podcast.
159
That gives you the opportunity to listen to two people talking and not just one.
160
It helps you become accustomed to that type of situation where there's more than one person talking.
161
And even just these videos, I titled them A1 or A2.
162
Of course, I say things and I use language in these videos
163
that is a little bit more challenging than A1 or A2, but that's the point.
164
The point of an A2 video, an A2 listening practice video,
165
is to help you reach a higher level, right?
166
If you're at an A2 level, you should be listening to content that's higher than that level,
167
a little bit higher, so that you can become accustomed to that higher level content and reach that level.
168
So we're at at the end of the video, you know what you need to do, right?
169
You either need to develop more and more of an interest in the culture of whatever language you're learning,
170
in your case English, you need to be patient, okay?
171
Be humble and challenge yourself, okay?
172
Use content that's a little challenging for you so you can reach that next level.
173
Okay?
174
So if you want that challenging content, check out the links down below for my advanced episodes in my US Conversations podcast.
175
Check those out.
176
Those will be helpful for you.
177
Alright, thank you all for watching this video and I'll talk to you in the next one.

Informazioni su Questa Lezione
In questa lezione di pratica di conversazione in inglese, esploreremo cosa rende un buon studente di inglese. Questo video si concentra su elementi chiave che possono motivare e aiutare gli studenti a migliorare la loro comprensione e comunicazione nella lingua inglese. Attraverso l'analisi di fattori come l'interesse per altre culture e la pazienza, avrai l'opportunità di riflettere su come questi aspetti possono influenzare il tuo percorso di imparare l'inglese con YouTube.
Vocabolario e Frasi Chiave
- interesse per altre culture - Essere curiosi riguardo alla cultura di un paese è un forte motivatore.
- motivazione - Avere una ragione personale per apprendere una lingua.
- pazienza - Essere disposti a imparare nel tempo senza scoraggiarsi.
- plateau - Un stallo nel processo di apprendimento che può capitare a chi studia una lingua.
- accettare le differenze linguistiche - Essere aperti alle diversità nella lingua e nella cultura.

Consigli per la Pratica
Un ottimo modo per migliorare la tua pronuncia in inglese è attraverso una tecnica chiamata shadowspeak o shadow speak. Questa pratica consiste nel ripetere ciò che senti in tempo reale, imitando il ritmo e l'intonazione del parlante. In questo video, il relatore parla in modo chiaro e con un ritmo moderato, il che lo rende accessibile per il tuo esercizio di pratica di conversazione in inglese.
Ti consiglio di seguire questi passaggi durante la tua pratica:
- Ascolta attentamente i segmenti del video e fai pause dove necessario per ripetere.
- Cerca di imitare non solo le parole ma anche il tono e l'emozione del parlante.
- Registra te stesso mentre parli per confrontare la tua pronuncia con quella del relatore.
- Rivedi il video più volte, cercando di migliorare ogni volta che pratichi.
Utilizzando queste tecniche di shadowing, potrai non solo migliorare la tua comprensione dell'inglese ma anche acquisire competenze pratiche che ti aiuteranno a comunicare in modo più efficace. Ricorda, la chiave è la continuità e la pazienza nel tuo percorso di apprendimento!
La grammatica di questo video
Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:
| Struttura | Nel video |
|---|---|
| Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fa | be discouraged · are just forced |
| Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fare | should do · shouldn't be · should be |
| Comparativi -er than / more … than — confrontare due cose | more quickly than · harder than · more challenging than |
| Past continuous was/were + -ing — un’azione in corso in un momento del passato | was learning · was encountering |
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.
