1
Actually, sometimes I don't understand myself because sometimes I behave like a paradox.
2
I mean, sometimes, to be very honest, in the real life, a lot of people are not happy.
3
I mean, they are just running after money, money, money.
4
But because of, I mean, in all of this, they forget.
5
They are also human and they need peace, space.
6
I think it's not true.
7
i don't know but i think it's your limiting belief
8
or maybe conditioning yeah maybe
9
because i don't have too much experience about life i'm too
10
young about it some people are very good at earning
11
but bad at managing the money so money comes easily to them
12
but goes easily at the same time like they are not able to manage it
13
and then they are stressed like oh i'm earning a lot
14
but i'm still not happy because you're not able to save
15
or do proper things because you don't have the management skills yeah hi hello good morning

24
I was born and raised in Jharkhand
25
and as far as my education background is concerned
26
that I'm pursuing my bachelor's in history honors
27
and I'm a first year student and apart from it I'm an English learner
28
and for past several five months I have been working on it and alongside my journey
29
recently I have started a YouTube channel called learn with lucky
30
but right now I don't have too much subscribers
31
but I'm working on it and my hobbies are listening to music exploring new culture
32
and nowadays I'm also developing a new hobby
33
that is reading the book that's all a little bit about
34
me oh okay that's great hmm amazing i can see here the name santosh
35
and you mentioned lucky what's this yeah it's my name
36
so it's my father named santosh prashad
37
and my real name is lucky gupta lucky gupta okay and you are from jharkhand i was there for two years
38
i started my graduation from ranchi like brambi there is a
39
cuj central university of jatkan i was there for two years i studied korean there
40
and then i got admission in jnu so yeah
41
okay so that's great good to hear that okay so lovely to know that you are into learning english
42
improving your communication and reading books okay so anything
43
that you have in your mind particularly as you are in this journey now
44
so anything that you think that you want to discuss with me yeah sure
45
so i want to share my journey from where i started
46
oh okay that's great yeah let us know let us uh
47
walk us through your journey how you started what happened
48
and what are the things that are helping you okay
49
so after passing my 12th like this year i mean last year i passed my class 12th
50
and um this year once time i thought like english is
51
not just a language english it's much more than a language it's skill
52
and it opens doors to get a lot of opportunities meaningful connections and personal growth.
53
So I thought I have to learn it
54
and I want to get super fluency and one day I want to become like a native speaker.
55
So it's my dream and I have been learning this language for past five months
56
and I started my journey from scratch completely zero
57
because I don't come from an English speaking background and I have completed my schooling,
58
intermediate, even I'm pursuing my graduation in Hindi medium.
59
So I like, I don't come from that, these kinds of backgrounds.
60
So I started my journey from scratch.
61
It is not like that.
62
I didn't know about English and I mean nothing.
63
So I knew some words, I understood a little bit, But when it was time to speak, then I was stuck.
64
So I started my journey with basic grammars like simple tenses,
65
simple structures, sentence structures.
66
So like this, I started my journey.
67
And at the beginning, I found one AI tool that is very famous, ChadGPT.
68
And ChadGPT suggested me many techniques for improving my English.
69
And I applied all the techniques and it really worked.
70
And I improved a lot because whenever I look back myself, then I really literally I'm shocked.
71
I mean, from there I started and now I am here.
72
So I improved a lot.
73
At the beginning, I used to do a lot of activities like reading,
74
writing, mirror practice, recording myself and a lot of techniques.
75
But nowadays, I mostly focus on speaking,
76
listening to native speakers and try to learn new vocabulary.
77
and sometimes I do shadowing practice for improving my accent and pronunciation
78
and at the beginning I mean I used to read kids
79
books like I didn't start with difficult high books I started with kids books
80
and from kids books I started a sentence structure simple vocabulary how to make sentence
81
and a lot of things so from there I started
82
and really I applied a lot of techniques
83
and all the techniques really worked
84
and I improved a lot that's all about my journey that's great I'm glad to hear your journey
85
and yeah it becomes very difficult for people coming from Hindi
86
background I really appreciate you come from the same background like you are still into
87
that Hindi background like you are doing your graduation in that
88
and you've figured it out for yourself
89
that how you can improve your communication in English as you
90
mentioned you want to sound like a native that's your aim that's your motive to do that so
91
do you want the same kind of accent to like any British
92
or American or you just want to be fluent like them but with the Indian accent?
93
Actually well I don't want to adapt completely Western accent and completely Indian accent.
94
I want to improve my accent mix of both
95
but I really like british accent it's really hard
96
but i want to like adapt it i want to learn
97
it i'm very curious person to learn about new languages and
98
so i want to learn it
99
so i'm working on it maybe it will i mean i will improve
100
or not but i'm working on it okay so how many hours do you devote to english every day
101
actually um i started my morning with english in the morning
102
time i read books i read books nowadays i'm reading a book
103
that is called master your emotions it's really good book for deal with negative emotions
104
and a lot of things so in the morning time i read books and sometimes I write about different topics.
105
Sometimes I share my opinions in my notebook about different topics like women empowerment,
106
society, and many topics, different different cultures.
107
So I started my morning with English like reading the book,
108
writing some my opinions so like this and after
109
that I try to do shadowing practice so
110
that I can improve my accent and pronunciation
111
and in the afternoon i try to learn new words
112
and at the evening time i use one more application
113
that is called ac fluency app through this application i can make a conversation through video calls uh
114
so i mean yeah so i use this application ac fluency for three months
115
and it's really great application for every co-learner
116
so from this application i think i would like to say i am able to express myself more clearly
117
because earlier i was not like express myself
118
clearly properly but now i am
119
so i would like to say this application is very great for me
120
and because of it I improved a lot
121
and at the night I try to do like I mean content for my YouTube channel
122
and I also want to improve my English
123
because on my YouTube channel my goal is not to teach
124
English as an expert I just want to help the people
125
students who are also struggling with English they are worker they are students they don't come from English speaking background
126
but they want to learn it so I want to encourage them
127
and like help them how to start where to start so yeah this is my daily routine
128
so we can consider that approximately four hours you devote to English every day
129
yeah i can four hours at least okay
130
so the application you talked about that's aspluency is it free like are you using the free version of it
131
or is it paid no i'm a premier user uh like
132
uh for one month i used this application for free
133
but uh you can make a conversation for just half hour
134
if you are a free like not a premier user
135
but I thought it's great so from this application I can improve my English
136
so that's why I purchased a subscription for one year
137
and now I mean I still am using this application that's
138
great that's really great like first you tried it for one month for free
139
and then you joined it for and that helps you maintain the consistency
140
if you don't invest anywhere you don't maintain the consistency this is the biggest thing
141
okay great yeah so um let's talk about some of the topics
142
if you are comfortable as we have been already practicing
143
so long so we can discuss any topic right yeah um
144
so let me know
145
if you are a a kind of person who takes a lot of risk in life
146
or you are just a person who you know goes
147
or plays safe in life what kind of person are you
148
like in future what do you think of yourself would you like to take any risk in your life
149
or would you like to just go with the safe space
150
actually sometimes i don't understand myself because sometimes i behave like a paradox i mean
151
sometimes I believe that yeah it's I want to go this I want to do this
152
but it is not safe but I really like to adventure
153
and I mean in the future right now I'm not doing like this
154
but in the future I have a lot of dreams to do a lot of adventures
155
and I believe that taking risk is very necessary in your life
156
because when you are not taking risks so how you can improve
157
and i i think i have taken a lot of risks not a lot of but risks
158
because after passing my 12th i didn't have idea i mean
159
i can learn english i mean at home through i mean from home but But I started to take risk.
160
Okay, I will see.
161
Let's see what happens.
162
I will try and if it will work.
163
So I will bless.
164
Otherwise, let's see what happens.
165
So I am that kind of person who really wants to take a risk in her life.
166
Okay, great.
167
So if you get a chance to become a businesswoman, on the other hand you want you have a you can easily have a government job too
168
but would you like to choose would you like to be a businesswoman
169
or would you like to go on the path of doing
170
a government job oh my god that's a very interesting question thank you so much
171
and to be very honest i mean for a lot of
172
people government job is very good it is very safe for like uh secure for security money
173
and everything and i really appreciate it
174
but apart from it i uh to be very honest i don't like government jobs
175
because i like private jobs rather than government jobs because i believe
176
that in the government jobs as like uh you not like every person
177
but right now I'm a student I'm very curious person so I want to learn I want to
178
improve myself every day
179
but after sometimes I started to like oh my god I
180
do not want to do these kinds of work it's very like a burden on me
181
so in the government job it's very like good for uh for like security
182
but in the private job it is not like
183
that in the private sector we have to upgrade ourselves every day
184
so but i am that kind of person who likes who loves private job
185
because i want to improve myself every day i'm very curious
186
person to knew about know about different different things new new things learn new things
187
so i like private jobs and
188
if i compare to like business women to private sorry government jobs
189
so definitely i will choose business women because i love business
190
and if i will get chance to choose this kind these like things so definitely I will choose business.
191
Great and what kind of business if I may ask would you like to go with and do?
192
Have you ever thought of it like?
193
Okay so I never thought like that I mean
194
which kinds of specific business I will do or not
195
but I'm really interested in business and I don't know
196
but I I mean in the future I want to do
197
I mean I want to do something like course like MBA
198
and something like this but right now I'm not thinking too much about it
199
but in the future if I will get chance
200
so I will choose business but not clear
201
which needs not clear see we don't get chance we just
202
have to squeeze those chances like you know we have to bring all these things for ourselves
203
and that is why clarity is the main thing
204
so no worries you can you know think of it later
205
and you can do your analysis
206
and then you can come to the conclusion what you actually want to pursue
207
but i'm curious that your interest is quite different but you are doing your
208
honors be honors i think graduation in in history right what made you pick history
209
history as i shared i love culture i love to explore new new cultures
210
and when i was in 10th grade then i loved history
211
and from after passing my 12th i realized
212
that science science is not science is not my cup of tea
213
so that's why i choose history the first reason i love it
214
and the second reason i mean in this field i mean according to my like dreams it is similar to
215
that so that's why okay okay got it yeah um so
216
so far any particular risk that you can share with us
217
if you like any risk that you took as as you mentioned
218
that you are courageous you want to take more risk it's not always about like climbing a mountain
219
or doing a bungee jumping and all it's even in career also we have to take
220
that you know leap of faith where we can just explore and
221
expand our horizons so any any risk have you taken
222
so far i mean i didn't take like this any risk
223
but in the future as you mentioned
224
if i would choose to like between government job
225
or business then i would choose business so it's like a completely risk yeah
226
so tell me what kind of person are you are you a kind of person of growth mindset
227
or you are fixed mindset kind of person and how do you feel around people
228
i think i'm not like a fixed mindset at first i fix this no i mean i believe
229
that i'm a growth mindset i mean at first i mean one day i thought i will learn english
230
and i have a very good quality whatever i decided i try to give my best
231
so from that moment i give my best on this language
232
and before because of it i am able to speak right now
233
so i think i have a like a growth mindset i believe
234
that um if i believe
235
that uh i mean i will i want to improve myself every day
236
and i want to grow myself like every day
237
and new learn new new things so these kinds of mindset i have
238
and i think i am a very authentic person i don't believe in show off that's like in you know
239
that helps a lot yeah grow personally in today's world i mean many people you know
240
because of content creation many people think like uh you know show of new new luxury products
241
and a lot of things but i believe in peace i love peaceful places
242
and i am fond of traveling
243
but right now i don't travel even other parts of jharkhand
244
but in the future if i will get chance
245
so i will i will travel a lot okay so the thing
246
that you mentioned people try to show off of their luxurious life
247
uh whatever it is and you want peace so do you think
248
that people who are showcasing their luxurious life are not at peace
249
or happy no i don't think because uh in this world
250
if we talk about business man
251
and content creator a lot of still big big celebrities they
252
have a lot of money they have a lot of luxury products
253
but to be very honest in the real life a lot
254
of people are not happy i mean they are just running after money money money
255
but because of i mean in all of this they forget they are also human
256
and they need peace space i think it's not true
257
i don't know but i think it's your limiting belief or maybe conditioning
258
yeah maybe because i don't have too much experience about life i'm too young about it
259
it's your conditioning that can be one or it can be your limiting belief
260
because i also had that earlier but then you know as i am also a growth kind mindset person so
261
nowadays i explore people a lot i learn
262
and read them thoroughly i am connected to mitesh khatri too
263
so i got to know a lot of the limiting beliefs i have
264
and peace and happiness doesn't have any relation direct relation with money money gives you the space uh freedom
265
so you can think of becoming
266
that you know enjoying your life doing whatever you want to do
267
so money of course luxury space freedom everything comes from it it indirectly impacts your happiness too
268
but many people believe that money comes with evil energy that's not true we have attached
269
that evil energy to money it's not evil you know i'm
270
hindi me kate hai paisa lakshmi ka rupa hai right money
271
is itself a good thing it brings a lot of happiness luxury peace in your life
272
because think of people who are very poor everything is lack in their life peace happiness resource education,
273
clothes, necessities, basic necessities, everything just because of lack of money.
274
Money can be that great source which can bring that peace and happiness in your life.
275
So I don't feel that money is opposite of it.
276
Say thanks to the universe and let me tell you one thing too.
277
If you attach that negative energy and like, you know, evil energy with money, you won't be able to attract money in your life ever
278
i have heard many people saying i have learned them also
279
i have read them also thoroughly through their videos they keep
280
saying i i am kind of a person i'm spiritual person
281
so i don't believe in money money cannot bring happiness i believe in spirituality money
282
and spirituality both can go together what is wrong in it luxury
283
and peace can go together what is wrong in it that's our belief
284
that if i'm luxurious i have a lot of money no i am not behind money why do you say
285
that i love money of course i love money
286
that is also right i love peace happiness
287
and money everything we are given everything by the universe universe has everything then why we stop ourselves from something
288
or some we just use our human brain
289
which is i feel limited there compared to the universe's energy
290
that is why our energies are very low we vibrate at
291
a very low frequency then we attract yeah many people get
292
that peace many people get that happiness they go into spirituality
293
but somewhere if you even become a monk also you need basic necessities
294
and when there are we talk about the basic necessities you need money then you would be a little stressed
295
that cannot bring a happiness and peace in your life
296
if you are lacking in money
297
because you will be stressed about your daily life daily necessities your family
298
so money is a part of it money makes us happy brings
299
that peace in family itself it makes your kids happy your parents happy a lot of things
300
and i don't know why people just you know attach
301
that negative energy with money
302
when they are asked do you think money can bring happiness no i don't thanks
303
so much for having happiness no it it does
304
that i do agree with you i agree with you all points
305
and i also believe that money is very important
306
because i also want to become like self-independent i i want
307
to earn money by myself i want to achieve my all goals
308
and i want to buy and everything in my life i mean on by myself
309
so i believe that too but you know what i didn't mean
310
that like uh money can't like like that yeah
311
so i just i was just saying like you know i have seen like some celebrities
312
and some like a very rich persons they are like they just pretend they are happy
313
but in their life they are not happy
314
so sometimes we have to maintain like this money and
315
and peace so money is also important and peace is also important
316
so we have to just maintain being a human being
317
so i believe that is i didn't mean
318
that like money is not important i got it i just
319
want like it's not about you i'm not just targeting you
320
i'm just telling uh overall in general you know what happens
321
so if you see and observe people who are not happy even after having a lot of money
322
it is not
323
because they have a lot of money money is not the reason of their you know sorrow
324
or their grief money is not the reason reason is something
325
else maybe their relationships are not good maybe their partner is not helping them supporting them
326
or understanding them maybe they are not able to become a
327
parent maybe something else is there it's not money that's what i'm saying okay what people think of it is
328
that this or that like peace or peace happiness or money
329
but it's not or it's and this and
330
that it's a very small statement this or that instead of
331
that this and that both can go together and still you can enjoy your peaceful and happy life along with
332
making everybody happy around you.
333
Yeah, it's like some people, you know, are very luxurious and have a lot of money because they did the hard work.
334
As you talked about the celebrities, they are doing their hard work and they earn a lot, but maybe their energy, maybe their you know behavior
335
which is maybe aggressive arrogant they get irritated on small things they don't like other people
336
and all that so maybe because of that they are already stressed
337
and already feeling negative all the time
338
that can be the thing yeah yeah it's true because like
339
if we don't have money so like for my
340
if i talk about myself
341
so i am fond of traveling in the future i won't travel
342
so if i will not have money so how i will do
343
that so it can't be happen i mean money is very important in today's time i think it
344
but you know for a lot of people money is everything
345
so i i was targeting on there that's also true that's
346
also true some people just uh prioritize money over everything
347
so it's about
348
that it's about having a balance between both you cannot be
349
a mindset person you cannot be a growth mindset you have
350
to have you have to just you know make a balance between both
351
and once you make a balance you would be able to
352
so fixed mindset people a good thing about it
353
if you are thinking of like if you have a partner you think of it
354
that about that partner only you're not in another extra marital affair
355
or extra things there your fixed mindset will help you a lot
356
because you are making a balance along with that if you're working
357
if you are doing anything you want to grow you want to learn there your growth mindset will work
358
but you should be very much clear about your family your partner your kids then i think you can maintain
359
that kind of a balance so it's
360
because of the lack of balance some people are very good at earning
361
but bad at managing the money so money comes easily to them
362
but goes easily at the same time like they're not able to manage it
363
and then they are stressed like oh i'm earning a lot
364
but i'm still not happy because you are not able to save
365
or do proper things because you don't have the management skills
366
so these days it's also easy to earn money
367
but it's difficult to manage people don't even know how to manage it sometimes
368
when their money grows their expenses grows now at the same place they are right sometimes yeah money grows
369
but then uh you know they invest somewhere where they are not even aware of
370
so that should also be there like the management money management
371
so uh it's also something that people should master
372
because you should have proper knowledge of the finance and
373
that is why i feel that there are a lot of subjects that we should master
374
to live that you know life where you are not stressed about anything
375
so that's a that's a big subject i would say the
376
big matter to learn about finances yeah yeah managing is very important yeah
377
so before we wind up any other question that you would like to ask Yeah, I have one question.
378
Like, if I'm a student, so I can give my time on this language, I can give my best.
379
But if you are a worker or a housewife and they really want to learn English, but they don't have time,
380
they want to learn it from scratch, from completely zero.
381
So what would you recommend how they can start?
382
Okay.
383
I think it's easy for housewives.
384
I have some students who are, I mean, they are called even housewives also because they look after their family.
385
They complete all the household chores in the morning, in the evening.
386
They are even working too.
387
So they are super busy.
388
I have few teachers as my student.
389
and they are working with me too now
390
because my free sessions are taken by those people
391
so they look up to their kids they complete household chores they go to school they work there
392
or their private job they work there they come back they attend my sessions
393
and then they study so i don't think so it's
394
that difficult it's about clarity and strong why if
395
that is a strong need you will do it if
396
that is not a strong need you would skip it
397
because i feel every woman now has a mobile phone her own mobile phone she scrolls she watches instagram
398
and reels and short videos and youtube videos
399
because otherwise from where people are getting these millions of views
400
people who are sitting at home are giving them otherwise
401
if you are studying you don't have extra time to watch extra reels you will be studying
402
if i'm a working professional i also don't have
403
male category also has less time in maybe in the evening
404
before going to bed they scroll otherwise throughout the day
405
when they are in school
406
when they are in the office they have to work they
407
cannot use their mobile phone still people are getting millions of views from where
408
yeah yeah right it means people have time it's about the priority where they want to spend
409
okay uh
410
if not a lot of time they can spend to english
411
give to english then they can just do like 10 minutes reading two words a day they can write
412
and i'm talking about one of my
413
students she is a teacher
414
and she writes a few words on her hand she keeps making sentences using those two words throughout the day
415
so like this she is learning vocabulary at the same time
416
speaking practice and she tries to use those words in her daily activities
417
and now plus point is that
418
if they have kids easy talk to them you are talking to them already in your mother tongue
419
or hindi just start replacing that with english so
420
when you are replacing you don't need a lot of english every day two sentences
421
that today I will tell you what to do here.
422
Come here.
423
Simple.
424
One sentence.
425
One, come here. Have meal. Have lunch.
426
Sit here.
427
Do your homework.
428
Two sentences every day.
429
Gradually, they will be able to learn.
430
So it's not difficult.
431
It's just the mindset.
432
Again, we talked.
433
It's maybe a fixed mindset that I don't get time.
434
You don't need time.
435
Two sentences like come here, sit here, eat together.
436
How long it takes?
437
30 seconds 30 seconds yeah i mean and while doing other house pictures you can repeat them
438
yeah i have meet some people like they are uh they say oh my god i'm
439
so busy so i can't give too much time on it
440
so i can't learn so that's why i thought why i mean i also have some
441
so i mean i would not be able to
442
where you are let me say i read the books i watch some videos english videos but i'm not able to
443
speak so how i can do this
444
so that's why i was asking for you
445
and more than about the time it's about like you keep
446
reading you keep consuming you keep listening you are just gathering
447
the information you are not doing the output you are not giving the output to the speaking practice
448
Even if you're listening to five minutes after that, stop the video.
449
Think of it, what you already have watched, what you already have heard.
450
Okay, just five minutes.
451
Just do the thinking practice itself because thinking in English plays a vital role in speaking fluently.
452
Okay, so just five minutes of watching, you can just keep start thinking, contemplating what you have already watched.
453
It can be anything, even one minute short video, one minute reel after watching that, stop there and think.
454
But nobody stops.
455
everybody wants to score for an hour that's the problem we
456
don't implement we know the ways we don't implement that's what the problem is
457
and that is why we keep i also have learning it for
458
so long yeah i also have one more question for myself
459
actually i am i mean i know some fancy words like
460
heavy words in english i know the meaning of it
461
but i don't i'm not able to uh use it in my daily conversations
462
and in my daily practice why i don't know why okay just like
463
that maybe you're learning a lot of words just learn few
464
but try using deliberately
465
that can help you repetition is the key without revising you
466
won't be able to use them revise them every single day
467
make your own sentences relate those words with your your own situation where you can use it
468
and then you can revise those sentences again and again
469
so any day any time
470
when it is needed you will be able to use okay
471
okay i will try then now we can find the session
472
up right there it was lovely it was a great discussion thank you
473

474

476
and thank you so much for inviting me thank you
477
so much you're welcome have a great sunday ahead bye-bye take care bye

Informazioni su questa lezione

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.
