Lately, I've been feeling scared.

Scared to teach a lesson.

Scared to go to a dance class.
6
And I'm an English teacher with over a million followers.
7
So this is a little bit embarrassing or vulnerable to say,
8
but today I want to be honest with you because I'm sure that you've felt this way before too.
9
But today I want to be honest with you because I'm sure that you've felt this way before too,
10
especially when you're learning English.
11
Hello, I'm Miss Honey, and this is my Slow English podcast.
12
I'm going to tell you how I got stuck in my comfort zone
13
and the one thing that made me feel amazing again.
14
I have been lacking purpose lately.
15
All of the things that I love to do,
16
I haven't had time to do them and I know why.
17
It's so easy to stay at home it's
18
so easy to not go to a class that's difficult for me it's
19
so easy to do the things that I'm good at to be around the people
20
that I already know and feel comfortable around.
21
But it's hard to do new things,
22
to try new classes that I'm bad at.
23
The classes that I'm still learning.
24
And of course, I'm bad at because I'm just starting to learn them.
25
But it's easy to avoid feeling uncomfortable.
26
It's easy to avoid feeling self -conscious and awkward.
27
And I wanted to share this with you guys.
28
I've been feeling self -conscious lately about the way I speak to groups of people,
29
about the way that I speak to smart people, like my sister, for example.
30
My sister is a great speaker.
31
She's always been really good at debating her ideas with other people,
32
at expressing her point of view in a way that anyone can understand.
33
She's always been very good at articulating her thoughts and putting them into words.
34
It's something that I have always admired about her.
35
And I'm really just an English teacher who accidentally became an internet sensation.
36
I'm kidding.
37
But I'm I'm just an English teacher who accidentally became a very popular English teacher on YouTube.
38
An English YouTuber.
39
And now I have meetings with people who studied business or who own their business.
40
I interview teachers for my English community
41
and I'm just an English teacher of course I have to give myself credit I have to acknowledge
42
my achievements.
43
Because I've been very courageous with handling all of these challenges.
44
It's something that I'm very proud of.
45
But I'm still human.
46
I still get nervous.
47
I get scared.
48
I get overwhelmed.
49
So I started taking communication coaching sessions to improve the way I communicate
50
and to make me feel more confident in these nerve -wracking situations.
51
And I'm taking steps towards growing,
52
even though it makes me feel uncomfortable because it's so much easier to stay where I am,
53
to work on the things that are comfy and easy,
54
where I don't join any live sessions where I don't have to speak to anyone
55
or challenge myself in any way to challenge my body in
56
any way where I could just live in a state of constant ease and relaxation
57
And honestly, that's exactly what I have been doing lately,
58
but it created a fear inside of me that I had never had before.
59
And it just kept building up
60
and building up until it got to the point where I was more afraid than ever to teach a lesson.
61
And I'm an English teacher because I got so comfortable that I forgot how to be comfortable with discomfort.
62
I didn't know how to be comfortable without feeling discomfort.
63
Just listen back and you'll understand, I promise.
64
And you know what?
65
I think this is exactly what it feels like to speak English while you're learning it.
66
You know you should practice.
67
You know you should speak.
68
But it's so much easier to just stay quiet.
69
So a while ago, I deleted Instagram and TikTok because it was just distracting me too much.
70
I was using it scrolling too much.
71
So I started using Pinterest a lot more because I didn't have TikTok
72
or Instagram and I started seeing so many more people sharing their experiences,
73
their progress in painting, in dancing.
74
They showed videos of themselves when they first started dancing and had no coordination.
75
It didn't seem like they were very good dancers at first, of course.
76
Same with their drawings, photos of drawings and paintings.
77
When it was just a hobby and they didn't have many skills,
78
but they show their progress and how they just kept going
79
and they eventually they finally saw results it was
80
so inspiring because before that I had always just thought there are some things I'm good at
81
and there are some things that i'm not and that everybody has their own talents and their own set of skills
82
skills that come easy to them but that's just not true that's completely false actually
83
because anyone can do anything that they want.
84
If they just set their mind to it, maybe it'll be more difficult for you than it is for her.
85
But that's just life.
86
And even though it's difficult, you can still do it.
87
Don't let that stop you from trying.
88
So I realized something.
89
Even though I didn't need to feel uncomfortable,
90
I don't need to go to this dance class that makes me feel nervous.
91
I don't need to go to a party full of strangers, but I should.
92
And I only know that I should because once I do it,
93
I feel so good.
94
After I do something that I was so nervous about doing,
95
even if it was a complete failure,
96
I completely embarrassed myself or felt awkward the entire time,
97
I will always feel amazing after.
98
And I know that you would, too.
99
You would if you did.
100
And just today, I woke up feeling very scared of the day ahead of me.
101
So I knew exactly what I had to do.
102
I had to get up.
103
I had to go for a run.
104
I had to join a live meeting which I did
105
and I had to go to a dance class
106
which I haven't done yet but I promise you I will today at four it's two
107
and that's exactly what I did and what i will do
108
and i really wanted to share this with you guys
109
because i know that sometimes we feel like we're the only ones who feel this way
110
and it's a constant effort to feel proud of yourself
111
and sometimes it's a constant effort to just feel okay
112
and that's normal but we can't let the fear win we have to be stronger for ourselves because you're worth it
113
all of this time and effort it's all for you and you're worth it
114
So, I hope you guys enjoyed this little rant.
115
I know I haven't made a video like this in a while, but I just hadn't felt like I needed to share anything for a while.
116
But I love these videos.
117
I love connecting with you guys in the comments.
118
So if you like this video, be sure to comment.
119
something that scares you but you do anyway.
120
I love connecting with you guys in the comments and I'm
121
so grateful to have the best English students watching me here on the Slow English podcast.
122
I love connecting with you guys in the comments and I'm
123
so grateful to have the best English students here on my slow English podcast.
124
And I will see you guys next time.
125

126
Bye.

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.
