Welcome to another episode of English with Sue's podcast.

First of all, I wanted to say thank you to everybody

that commented on the previous video that I posted a few days ago.

So much love and support, you know, and there's also a lot of new people here.

I noticed that a lot of you commented that that video was kind of like a recommendation on YouTube.

So there's a lot of new people here. So welcome.

I am so happy to have you here and I'm so happy to be able to do this podcast, which is something that I've been planning on doing kind of for a very long time.

So I saw the momentum was really good and I just kind of wanted to keep it up.

So I just honestly decided to make another episode today.

I usually post once a week, but I was like, you know what?

Why not?

Right.

Why not?

And I'm getting way more comfortable with this kind of format um

so I'm probably not going to edit this at all I usually add the introduction um

and I'm just going to start talking to you um

but yeah I mean this is super cool

and I was gonna say something I forgot of course I was gonna say something important oh yeah

so for those who don't know, I actually have a TikTok account,

which is my main kind of social media platform that I work with.

And over there, I post a lot of English content in terms of teaching.

So if you're curious to check it out, my TikTok is English with Suze, and it'll probably be the first one that shows up,

but I'm actually starting this new series there.

I've posted four episodes, which is called English for Rookies,

and I'm basically teaching certain key things for those who are learning English from zero.

So, if you're interested, I highly recommend you check it out, and my YouTube channel, it's not going to be a lot of teaching,

you know, it's just going to be more of like a conversation situation.

So yeah, and today, speaking of podcast,

I wanted to come over here and talk to you about a few things that you need to avoid.

You don't need to, but I would avoid when you're learning English.

So I thought it would be a great episode for you.

So just take a seat, pay attention to, you know, new vocabulary words, how I'm conjugating the verbs,

you know, take some notes if you'd like, and let's get started.

So, I have a few things to talk about today, and the first thing I'm going to say,

let me just, okay, it's working.

The first thing that I wanted to talk to you is

when you're first learning English and I mean learning

because in the beginning we don't we make like more mistakes right and we're not as confident.

The first mistake that people make is they want to speak fast right they want to just talk

and talk and talk because they want to sound native they want to sound a certain way

and I am here to tell you that you should not do that.

The reason why it's because a lot of people make a lot of mistakes,

like technical mistakes, when they're first starting to speak English because they're not speaking like slower.

And the reason why speaking slow is so important in the beginning is because when you speak slow,

you have time to think, pay attention and make sure you're speaking correctly, right?

So, excuse me.

So, that's crucial.

When you're first starting your journey with English,

you need to kind of take a step back and take your time when you're speaking, right?

Now, don't get confused.

It's one thing to speak slower.

It's another thing to like every like two words in one sentence, you keep going, uh, uh,

uh, and then you're quiet.

And then like, that's not that that's like, you don't need to do that.

Okay.

If you do that, that's fine.

Like in the beginning, that's normal.

But speaking slow, it's pretty much what I'm doing right here.

You know, you take your time to pay attention to how you're speaking

and speaking slower will also help you with your pronunciation.

Okay, so when you're trying to speak super fast and you're just like going on and on about it like this,

you don't have time to really like pronunciate the words.

pronunciate is

that how you say it pronunciate you need to work on your pronunciation that's what I'm trying to say

and you're not going to be able to do that

when you're speaking super fast okay

so in the beginning take your time don't like just with your words don't do

that take your time especially like I feel like a lot of people including me

when I was learning English in the beginning, we talk to ourselves a lot, right?

That's super important because sometimes that's all you have to practice your speaking,

especially when you're on your own practicing English.

Just calm down.

Don't speak super fast.

There's no need to rush.

It's literally just you and that's it, you know, so just take your time, okay, take your time.

Now, let's move on to the second topic of things that you should avoid in the beginning.

The first thing that you should avoid, and I don't mean avoid, but I mean, yeah, kind of,

be careful, you know, for those who like to use music to practice and learn English,

be careful with what kind of artists you're using to do that, okay?

Essentially, what I'm trying to say is some singers,

they most definitely have a, like, I don't even know how to say this in English.

In Portuguese, we say, um, but they don't like it seems like they don't project their

words you know I don't know how to explain this

but sometimes even me like I am fluent in English right

I mean English is like I speak English majority of my day

and sometimes I'm listening to certain artists that I can't understand a word

that they're singing why do you have to be careful with this

because when you're having a hard time understanding what someone is saying like during a song you're going to put

that guilt on yourself you're going to think oh I don't understand

because I don't know and sometimes

when you're looking at the like the lyrics you know what

that person is saying you understand what that person is singing

but because of the way that person projects their voice and their words

which is a that person like problem you're like you're not able to really understand it

and then what happens is we put that guilt on ourselves

and then what happens when you put guilt on yourself you don't have confidence what happens

when you don't have confidence you're you'll likely give up that's what I'm trying to say

so pay attention be careful like one of the artists

that I absolutely adore her and it's funny

100

because I did use her to practice my English in the beginning is Lana Del Rey.

101

I love Lana Del Rey because I like her music

102

but also because she speaks slower you know she sings slower like songs

103

so it's just easier to understand what she's saying and she actually like projects

104

her words you know

105

but then other artists I'm just like dude what are you saying like I can't understand a word

106

that you're saying

107

so you need to be careful you know like it's kind

108

I'll give you an example it'll be much easier for you

109

to use a lot of the race like music to practice

110

your English other than getting a rap song those rappers they are one using a lot of slang terms

111

that frankly I don't even know what they're saying I mean don't get me wrong I love rap like it's

112

so fun but they're using a lot of slang terms

113

that you're gonna have a hard time understanding what they're trying to say they talk super fast

114

and they put a bunch of like weird stuff in their like voice

115

that it makes it even harder to understand what's happening it's a vibe you know it's

116

that kind of like it's it's music to vibe

117

and have fun I don't think it's music for you to sit down

118

and be like okay let me practice my English I mean

119

if you're able to do that I'll be clapping my hands you know

120

but I just think that most people will have a hard time

121

so I recommend if you were to ask me what's your recommendation I'd say Lana Del Rey okay

122

and it's not because she's awesome and I love her music.

123

It's actually because I literally used her to practice because she's, you know, like she has slower music.

124

She projects her voice and her words when she's singing.

125

And I just think it's a great idea.

126

So give it a try.

127

And if you really don't like it, maybe find someone else.

128

Okay.

129

But just aim for slower music.

130

Does that make sense?

131

I hope it does I hope I hope this is making

132

sense to you anyways what else was I gonna say I

133

usually never like have a script with me I never have notes

134

or anything I just kind of it's very natural over here I just click start

135

and record and I start talking to you um

136

and I should have prepped something huh those were the only three things that I really like thought about you know

137

I'm trying to think what were the other things ah I remember now sorry guys I had to like cut

138

because I had to like think you know

139

and I don't want to be here thinking for like two minutes just you know for nothing

140

but the last mistake that the last thing

141

that you need to avoid is a lot of people

142

when they're learning English in the beginning they um they how do I say this without getting canceled.

143

They, they try to sound super American,

144

you know, a lot of people, they want to Americanize the heck out of the way they're they speak,

145

you know, and I'm not criticizing people that do that.

146

You do you.

147

I just think that when you're trying to force a way of speaking you will make mistakes

148

because essentially in the beginning you you should not be paying

149

attention to how cool you sound how american you sound how

150

i don't know california coded girl you sound you don't want to pay attention to those things

151

because that's not for like that's not the right time to do

152

that you need to pay attention to your pronunciation to how you're conjugating the verbs,

153

to not making mistakes, to how you're making those sentences and how you're connecting those sentences also.

154

So you need to pay attention to that.

155

Don't fall on this like dilemma of I need to sound like Kylie Jenner.

156

You don't need to sound like anybody.

157

You need to sound like yourself.

158

But for you to sound like yourself, you need to know how to speak, right?

159

For you to know that, you need to practice.

160

And when you're practicing and you keep focusing on secondary things, things that will come with time or things that you still have a long way to go,

161

you're just going to get confused.

162

You're going to start like misprint, like not pronunciating the words correctly.

163

And it's just going to be a whole mess.

164

And nobody's going to understand what you're saying.

165

You know, for example, I'm going to give this example and I really hope that Anita's fans don't like come for me.

166

But listen, I love Anita.

167

She's a queen.

168

I love her.

169

I love her.

170

Sorry.

171

however when she first started her international career

172

which now she has like a huge career here but

173

when she first started she would go to interviews

174

and she would speak English

175

and her English was immaculate she's really good like she speaks perfect like she's really good

176

and like when it comes to speaking English

177

but in the beginning she would try to Americanize her accent

178

so much like so much

179

that it was impossible to understand her like I promise you like

180

that woman knows how to speak English but she wanted like I don't know

181

if she wanted to do that I personally don't think so

182

because I think that Anita is like she knows who she is

183

but I think

184

that it maybe it was like she wanted to not she wanted to kind of blend in maybe and maybe

185

that was like a marketing strategy to um in terms of

186

like her being a part of like you know whatever we have here

187

so she was trying to blend in um thankfully she stopped doing

188

that and now she speaks normal but I feel like she would do

189

that and I don't know the reasons behind

190

but like I said I don't think it was like she

191

didn't like the way she sounded I think it was mostly for like work, you know, to blend in,

192

that, like I said, it would be really tough to understand whatever the heck she was trying to say, you know, and it's like, I'd watch those interviews, and I'd be like, dude, you speak really good English,

193

why are you trying to sound like this, like, it's really hard to understand you, you know, plus, having accents, it's hot, you know, like,

194

so why, why, you know, so yeah like that's one thing

195

that I would highly recommend you to avoid don't try to Americanize the heck out of your English

196

because that's not the right time for you to do

197

that you know it comes it's time it takes time you

198

know you think I sound I've always sounded like this no

199

like it took time you know like I've been living here for almost a decade

200

but I guarantee like when I first started I had a thick accent.

201

It just takes time.

202

But the reason why I was able to get away from that accent, it's because I focused on the foundations of English.

203

I focused on speaking correctly.

204

I focused on speaking slow so I'm able to pay attention and project the words and,

205

you know, like not make mistakes and conjugate the verbs correctly.

206

So just it takes time.

207

Don't force it.

208

Don't rush it because you will sound completely wrong and people are going to have a really hard time understanding you. So, yeah.

209

And that's it for today's podcast, guys.

210

Thank you so much for watching.

211

And, you know, comment down below whatever ideas you have for our next episode.

212

I'm super excited to come back here and film for you.

213

and yeah thank you so much for watching today's episode and I will see you later bye

Per chi è questo video?

Questo episodio del podcast "English with Suze" è perfetto per apprendisti di inglese a livello base o intermedio che vogliono migliorare la pronuncia, la confidenza nella conversazione e evitare errori comuni. Ideale per chi cerca un approccio pratico, basato su conversazioni reali, e per coloro che vogliono iniziare a usare tecniche come il shadowing in inglese in modo efficace. Se il tuo obiettivo è parlare correttamente e con fluidità, senza stress, questo contenuto è per te.

Parole e espressioni da non perdere

Nel video, Suze usa alcune espressioni utili per la conversazione quotidiana. Ecco le più interessanti:

"Momentum": Il "moto" o l'energia che si crea da un successo. Ad esempio: "Volevo mantenere il momentum dopo il primo video".
"Rookies": I principianti. Nella serie "English for Rookies", Suze si rivolge a chi inizia da zero.
"Take a step back": Farsi un po' di spazio, riflettere. Utile per dire: "Prendi un momento per pensare prima di parlare".

Queste frasi sono perfette per il shadow speech: ripetile a voce alta, imitando il tono e la velocità di Suze per internalizzarle.

Come migliorare l'accento con questo video

Suze parla in modo chiaro e adatto a chi apprende, quindi è un'ottima risorsa per il shadowing in inglese. Ecco come usarlo:

Imita la velocità: Suze consiglia di parlare lentamente all'inizio. Ripeti le sue frasi pausando tra le parole, per controllare la pronuncia.
Attendi l'intonazione: Nota come eleva la voce nelle domande o abbassa nel finale delle frasi. Il shadowing aiuta a capire queste sfumature.
Usa il video come "shadowing site": Riproduci brevi clip, ferma e ripeti. Così impari a sincronizzare la tua voce con la sua, migliorando la fluidità.

Imparare l'inglese con i video è una strategia efficace, e questo podcast è un ottimo punto di partenza. Con la pratica regolare del shadowing, noterai che la tua confidenza e la tua pronuncia miglioreranno drasticamente.

La grammatica di questo video

Le strutture che chi parla usa di più, con le parole esatte del video:

Struttura	Nel video
Present perfect continuous have/has been + -ing — un’azione iniziata prima e ancora in corso	I've been planning · I've been living
Frasi condizionali if + frase, will/would + verbo — una condizione e il suo risultato	if you're able to do that I'll be
Frasi relative who / which + frase — un’informazione in più su una persona o una cosa	podcast, which is · those who don · episodes, which is
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adesso	I've posted · I've always sounded

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.
