Stop when the work is finished.
66
This is hard, Paul.
67
This is very hard.
68
I know.
69
I know it is hard.
70
Let's think about learning English.
71
Okay, yes.
72
Our students are learning English.
73
Yes, and learning English is a big job.
74
It is not fast.
75
No, it is not one day.
76
I study, I listen, I read,
77
and… My brain is tired.
78
Yes.
79
My brain is tired too.
80
Sometimes I read a book in English.
81
I read one page.
82
Okay.
83
Two pages.
84
Okay.
85
Uh-huh.
86
Three pages.
87
My eyes are sleepy.
88
I am tired.
89
I want to close the book.
90
Yes.
91
You want to close the book and watch TV.
92
Yes.
93
TV is easy.
94
English is work.
95
But is the chapter done?
96
Is the lesson done?
97
No. No. The lesson is not done.
98
So I am tired, but I must continue.
99
I must keep going.
100
Hmm.
101
Keep going.
102
But how, Paul?
103
I am so tired.
104
Okay, good question.
105
Maybe the goal is too big.
106
Maybe the goal is, read the book.
107
That is too big.
108
Yes, a whole book.
109
Let's make a small goal.
110
The goal is, read two pages.
111
Or read for ten minutes.
112
Ah, ten minutes.
113
Okay.
114
I am tired, but I can do ten minutes.
115
Ten minutes is small.
116
Yes, it is small.
117
So you read for ten minutes.
118
You are tired, but you read.
119
And then, ding!
120
Ten minutes.
121
I am done.
122
You are done.
123
Yes, done for today.
124
Wow!
125
That is great!
126
I am tired and I am done.
127
Yes.
128
And how do you feel?
129
You feel tired, but you also feel good.
130
You feel, I did it.
131
Yes, I did it.
132
I am good.
133
I studied my English.
134
But if you stop, you are tired,
135
you close the book, you watch TV.
136
How do you feel later?
137
Later I feel, ah, bad.
138
Bad?
139
Why?
140
Because I did not study.
141
The TV was okay, but my English?
142
No progress.
143
Exactly.
144
You are tired and you are sad.
145
That is not good.
146
No. Tired and sad is very bad.
147
I like tired and happy.
148
Tired and happy is much better.
149
Me too.
150
Okay, so small steps.
151
The goal is done for today.
152
Yes.
153
Let's think of exercise.
154
Exercise.
155
Okay.
156
Do you like exercise, Emily?
157
I like to walk.
158
Walking is good.
159
Walking is great exercise.
160
Yes.
161
I like to walk in the park.
162
My goal, my plan, is to walk for 30 minutes.
163
30 minutes.
164
Okay.
165
That is a good goal.
166
I start.
167
I walk.
168
5 minutes?
169
Easy.
170
10 minutes?
171
I am good.
172
Uh-huh.
173
15 minutes?
174
I am tired.
175
My legs are tired.
176
I am hot.
177
I know this feeling.
178
And you see a chair.
179
A nice, comfortable chair.
180
Yes.
181
The chair calls my name.
182
Emily, sit, rest.
183
Hello, Emily.
184
And I am so tired, I want to stop.
185
But what is the goal?
186
The goal is 30 minutes.
187
And you are at 15 minutes.
188
Yes, I am tired.
189
I am not done.
190
Ah, see?
191
This is the moment, the important moment.
192
What do you do?
193
I think about tired and sad.
194
Good.
195
I don't want tired and sad.
196
I want tired and happy.
197
So I must continue.
198
Yes.
199
Keep going.
200
Maybe walk slow.
201
Not fast.
202
Just slow.
203
Okay.
204
A small step.
205
I walk slow.
206
20 minutes.
207
25 minutes.
208
You are almost there.
209
30 minutes.
210
Finished.
211
Done.
212
Wow.
213
Good job, Emily.
214
And now, how do you feel?
215
I am very tired.
216
But I am, wow, I feel strong.
217
I feel happy.
218
I did it.
219
Yes, you finished your goal.
220
You are done.
221
Now you can sit on the chair.
222
Ah, yes.
223
Now the chair is a prize.
224
A prize, yes.
225
A reward.
226
You work, then you rest.
227
Oh, I like that.
228
The rest is a prize.
229
It is not stopping.
230
It is finishing.
231
Yes, you earned the rest.
232
Good job.
233
This is very good.
234
Okay, English, exercise.
235
What about, oh, the kitchen?
236
Oh no, the kitchen.
237
After dinner, I cook, I eat,
238
the food is good, I am full,
239
I am happy, and I am...
240
Very tired.
241
Yes.
242
Very, very tired.
243
I look at the kitchen.
244
There are plates, glasses, pots.
245
It is a big job, a big dirty job.
246
And my sofa, my sofa is calling.
247
Emily, TV.
248
The sofa is always calling.
249
I am so tired.
250
I think, hmm, maybe tomorrow.
251
Tomorrow.
252
Ah, tomorrow.
253
The bad word.
254
Yes, tomorrow is bad.
255
Why?
256
Because you go to sleep,
257
you wake up, the morning is new,
258
you go to the kitchen.
259
And the kitchen is dirty.
260
Yes, the plates are still there,
261
the pots are still there.
262
Oh, and now I am not tired, but I am sad.
263
Sad morning.
264
Sad morning.
265
It is a bad start to the day.
266
Okay.
267
So, back to dinner.
268
I am tired.
269
I look at the kitchen.
270
What do you do?
271
I say, no, Emily, not tomorrow, now.
272
Good.
273
I stop when I am done.
274
So, I wash the plates.
275
I wash the glasses.
276
I clean the table.
277
It is maybe 20 minutes.
278
It is work.
279
I am tired. But?
280
But it is done.
281
The kitchen is clean.
282
Yes.
283
And now I go to the sofa.
284
Ah, and how is the sofa now?
285
The sofa is wonderful.
286
It is the best sofa.
287
I am tired, but I am proud.
288
Proud.
289
That is a great word.
290
Proud is, I did a good job.
291
Yes, I am proud.
292
The kitchen is clean.
293
I am happy.
294
I can relax.
295
See?
296
The hard choice, cleaning, makes you happy later.
297
And the easy choice, tomorrow, makes me sad later.
298
Yes, exactly.
299
Don't stop when you're tired.
300
Stop when you're done.
301
It is about feeling good after the work.
302
I understand.
303
The work, study, exercise, cleaning,
304
it is not always fun.
305
No, it is work.
306
But the feeling, the done feeling, that is fun.
307
Yes, the done feeling is the prize.
308
So, Paul, this is a big idea.
309
But why is it so hard?
310
Why do we always want to stop?
311
Hmm.
312
That is a good question.
313
I think our body, our brain, wants to be comfortable.
314
Comfortable, yes.
315
The sofa is comfortable.
316
The bed is comfortable.
317
Yes.
318
And work is not comfortable.
319
No. Work is not comfortable.
320
So our brain says, stop.
321
Go to comfort.
322
Go to the sofa.
323
Yes, my brain says that.
324
But comfortable is not progress.
325
Progress?
326
What is progress?
327
Progress is moving forward, getting better, learning new things.
328
Ah, progress is learning 10 new English words.
329
Yes, progress is walking 30 minutes, not 15.
330
Progress is a clean kitchen.
331
Yes.
332
progress that makes us happy very very happy
333
so comfortable now is so so happy work now is very happy later
334
that is it you said it perfectly work now happy later.
335
Okay, so I am tired.
336
I want to stop.
337
What is the secret?
338
What do I do?
339
Okay.
340
Secret number one.
341
Remember the goal.
342
Why did you start?
343
Okay, the goal.
344
I started English because I want to travel.
345
I want to meet new people.
346
Good.
347
So when you are tired, think travel.
348
Think new friends.
349
Don't think tired.
350
Hmm.
351
Okay.
352
Focus on the goal.
353
Good.
354
What is secret number two?
355
Secret number two.
356
Make the step small.
357
Ah, yes.
358
Ten minutes.
359
Yes.
360
Don't think, I must study for three hours.
361
No, that is too big.
362
Yes, three hours, I go to bed.
363
Me too.
364
Think, I must finish one lesson,
365
or I must write five sentences.
366
Small, easy.
367
Small goals are easy to finish,
368
and when you finish one small goal, you feel good.
369
Yes, I am done.
370
And maybe you have energy for one more small goal.
371
Ooh, yes.
372
Okay.
373
Five more minutes.
374
Exactly.
375
Small steps make a big journey.

388
Yes!
389
My prize is coffee.
390
I finish my study, then I have a nice coffee.
391
My prize is music.
392
I finish my walk, then I listen to my favourite songs.
393
That is perfect.
394
The prize helps you finish.
395
It helps you get to done.
396
This is great, Paul.
397
1. Remember the goal.
398
2. Make small steps.
399
3. Get the prize after.

401
not when you are tired.
402
I feel motivated.
403
I feel strong.
404
You are strong, Emily.
405
And everyone listening, you are strong too.
406
Yes, you are all strong.
407
Learning English is a big job.
408
And sometimes you are tired.
409
Yes, very tired.
410
You study, study, study, and you think, my English is slow.
411
And you want to stop.
412
Yes.
413
But don't stop.
414
Remember your goal.

Perché praticare la conversazione con questo video?
Praticare l'inglese parlato è fondamentale per migliorare la tua fluidità e consapevolezza linguistica. In questo video, i presentatori, Emily e Paul, affrontano un argomento motivante: "Non fermarti quando sei stanco, fermati quando hai finito". Questa espressione è non solo incisiva, ma anche estremamente rilevante quando si tratta di imparare l'inglese. Ogni volta che ti senti stanco o scoraggiato, ricorda che la persistente pratica, anche se faticosa, porterà a risultati migliori. Con imparare l'inglese con youtube, puoi ascoltare e ripetere le frasi mentre migliorando il tuo vocabolario e la pronuncia simultaneamente.
Grammatica ed espressioni nel contesto
Durante la conversazione, vengono utilizzate diverse strutture grammaticali che meritano di essere analizzate. Ecco alcune delle più significative:
- Frasi condizionali: "If you like our podcast, take one second and click like." Questa struttura ti aiuta a esprimere cause ed effetti.
- Implicazioni motivazionali: "Don’t stop when you’re tired, stop when you’re done." Questo tipo di espressione è utile per incoraggiare altri e te stesso.
- Domande aperte: "How are you today?" Questo tipo di domande stimola conversazioni più significative.
Praticare queste frasi attraverso tecniche come shadow speaking ti permetterà di interiorizzare le strutture in modo più naturale.
Trappole di pronuncia comuni
All'interno del video, potrebbero sorgere alcune difficoltà di pronuncia. Ecco alcuni punti su cui prestare attenzione:
- Tired: La pronuncia corretta è fondamentale, dato che molti studenti tendono a trascurare la 't'. Prova a ripetere "tired" enfatizzando il suono "t".
- Done: Assicurati di pronunciare correttamente questa parola, poiché è un termine chiave nel contesto della motivazione.
- Emphasis on 'don't': Presta attenzione all'accento sulla parola 'don't', poiché le tonalità possono cambiare il significato durante una conversazione.
Incorporando questi aspetti nella tua pratica di shadow speech, potrai migliorare la tua capacità di parlare fluentemente e con sicurezza.
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.
