Hi friends!
2
Welcome back to Daily English Talk, the podcast where you learn real, natural English every single day.
3
Today's topic is so important.
4
So many of you have sent us messages saying the same thing.
5
What do they say?
6
They say, "Lily, Tom, I understand everything you say, but when I try to speak English, nothing comes out." Oh, yes!
7
I know this feeling.
8
And today we have eight powerful tips to help you unlock your English voice. For real!

11
Every day, we never stop!
12
Okay, before we start, I have to ask you something.
13
Something about Tom?
14
Oh no!
15
Get ready!
16
Okay, here is your question for today.
17
Tom tried to speak English at a restaurant in London, and something very funny happened.
18
Very embarrassing, too.
19
Oh, Lily, please.
20
The question is, what did Tom accidentally order at the restaurant?
21
Please don't tell them yet.
22
We will tell you the answer at the end of today's video, so stay with us, keep watching!
23
It was a long day.
24
Okay.
25
Okay.
26
Let's go to our casual conversation first.
27
So Tom, this topic today, it's very personal for you, right?
28
Oh, yes.
29
Very personal.
30
Tell us.
31
Tell the story.
32
OK, so last year, I went to London with my friend.
33
Oh, yes.
34
You told me about this trip.
35
It was my first real trip to an English -speaking country, and I was so nervous.
36
But you study English.
37
You know English.
38
I know English in my head, but in my mouth, total silence.
39
In your mouth.
40
I love that.
41
So we go to this restaurant, a nice restaurant.
42
The waiter comes.
43
He smiles.
44
He says, "What would you like today, sir?" Okay, okay.
45
And what happened?
46
practiced my order for 20 minutes in the taxi.
47
I said to myself, "Tom, you can do this.
48
You know the words." And?
49
The waiter asked me and I completely froze.
50
I could not speak.
51
My brain said, "Chicken sandwich," but my mouth said, Nothing.
52
Oh, no, Tom.
53
And then I panicked, and I just pointed at the menu, and I said the number.
54
I said, "Number 7?" And what was number 7?
55
A large soup.
56
Three soups.
57
The family -size soup for one person.
58
Tom, you ordered three soups?
59
The waiter looked at me.
60
He said, "Sir, this is for four people." And I said, Yes.
61
Yes, I know.
62
Thank you.
63
You said yes?
64
I didn't want to speak anymore.
65
I just smiled.
66
I ate three soups alone.
67
I'm crying.
68
I'm actually crying right now.
69
I finished all three soups, by the way.
70
Of course you did.
71
Of course you did.
72
But you know what?
73
That moment taught me something.
74
I understood the waiter perfectly, every single word.
75
But speaking, that is a different skill.
76
This is exactly what today's Leffen is about.
77
Understanding and speaking are two different things, and you can train your voice.
78
You can unlock your voice.
79
And today, we tell you how.
80
Okay, before our eight tips, let's talk about one very important grammar structure.
81
We use this when we talk about habits and routines, things we do regularly.
82
What structure is this?
83
It's the simple present tense.
84
We use it for actions we do every day, every week, or always.
85
And this is perfect for our lesson today, because practice is a habit, English habits.
86
The structure is simple: subject plus verb.
87
No extra words.
88
For example, "I practice English every morning." She listens to podcasts every day.
89
"He orders three soups by accident." Tom, okay, yes, that is also simple present.
90
Very natural example.
91
Very real. or doesn't.
92
I don't speak English at restaurants last year.
93
And for questions, we use "do" or "does" at the start.
94
Do you practice speaking every day?
95
That is the question we want you to answer after this video, because practice is everything.
96
Okay, let's go to our eight tips.
97
Okay, eight tips to unlock your English voice.
98
Let's start.
99
Tip number one.
100
Tip one.
101
Start small.
102
Speak one sentence a day.
103
Just one.
104
Only one sentence?
105
Yes.
106
Many learners think, "I need to have a full conversation," and that feels scary, so they don't start.
107
I understand this completely.
108
But one sentence?
109
That is easy.
110
Today is Monday.
111
Done.
112
You spoke English today.
113
That's it?
114
That is it.
115
And tomorrow you say two sentences, and next week you say five.
116
Small steps make big progress.
117
I like this tip.
118
I should have done this before London.
119
Yes, you should have.
120
Tip number two: Talk to yourself in English.
121
Yes, this is my favorite tip.
122
Are you saying Lily talks to herself?
123
I talk to myself all the time.
124
In English, when I cook, I say, "Now I am cutting the vegetables." When I walk, I say, "I am going to the store." Really?
125
Your bathroom mirror is your best English teacher.
126
Stand in front of it.
127
Speak.
128
Describe your morning.
129
I woke up.
130
I brushed my teeth.
131
I made coffee.
132
This actually works?
133
I should try this.
134
It works because you are using English with zero pressure.
135
No one is judging you.
136
Just you and the mirror.
137
My mirror has heard some interesting things from me.
138
What do you say?
139
I practice my soup order every morning.
140
I would like the chicken sandwich, please, not three soups.
141
I cannot stop laughing today.
142
Tip 3: Shadowing.
143
This one is very powerful.
144
What is shadowing?
145
Shadowing means you listen to a native speaker and you repeat exactly what they say, at the same time, like a shadow.
146
At the same time?
147
While they speak?
148
Yes.
149
You can use our videos.
150
Press play and speak with us.
151
Copy our rhythm, copy our sounds, copy our pronunciation.
152
Don't worry if it sounds strange at first.
153
That is normal.
154
Your mouth is learning new muscle movements.
155
Did you know speaking is physical?
156
Your mouth, your tongue, your lips, they need to practice.
157
Like a sport!
158
Exactly like a sport!
159
You don't run a marathon without training, you don't speak English without mouth training.
160
Mouth training!
161
I love it!
162
Tip #4: Think in English.
163
This one is a game -changer.
164
Many learners think in their native language first, then they translate to English, then they speak.
165
Yes, that is exactly what I do.
166
But that process is very slow, and it feels unnatural, so the goal is to remove the translation step.
167
How?
168
Start with small thoughts.
169
When you see a dog, don't think the word in your language, think "dog." When you see rain, think "rain." When you feel hungry,
170
think "I am hungry." Just replace the words in your head.
171
Yes, and slowly, slowly, your brain starts to think in English naturally.
172
Then speaking becomes much faster.
173
I practice this when I drive.
174
I look at cars and I think, "Red car, big truck, slow driver." Slow driver.
175
Very useful English phrase.
176
Very useful in real life.
177
Tip 5: Record your voice.
178
This one is scary for many people.
179
Oh, I hate listening to my own voice.
180
Everyone hates it, but it is so helpful.
181
Why?
182
Because you can hear your mistakes.
183
You can hear your pronunciation.
184
You can hear when you speak too fast or too slow.
185
And then you can fix it!
186
Yes!
187
Record yourself saying five sentences.
188
Listen back.
189
What do you notice?
190
Then record again.
191
Compare.
192
I started doing this three months ago.
193
My pronunciation changed so much.
194
Really?
195
Really?
196
I was shocked.
197
In a good way.
198
Mostly.
199
Mostly.
200
Some recordings were very bad.
201
Very, very bad.
202
But that is how you learn.
203
Don't be afraid of a bad recording.
204
A bad recording today means a good recording next month.
205
Tip 6: Find a speaking partner.
206
This is so important.
207
Speaking alone is good, but speaking with someone is better.
208
Where do you find a speaking partner?
209
Language exchange apps, online communities, English learner groups, even right here in our comments section.
210
So many daily English Talk subscribers want to practice.
211
Leave a comment today.
212
Say, I want a speaking partner.
213
You might find someone today.
214
Your speaking partner doesn't need to be a native speaker.
215
Another English learner is perfect.
216
You both practice.
217
You both grow.
218
It's less scary when you know the other person is also learning.
219
Aww, yes!
220
You support each other.
221
It's beautiful.
222
Lily is getting emotional.
223
I just love English learning communities.
224
They are so warm.
225
Tip 7: Learn phrases, not just single words.
226
What is the difference?
227
Many learners study vocabulary lists: apple, banana, computer, one word at a time.
228
Yes, I did this.
229
But in real conversation, we don't say single words.
230
We say phrases.
231
I'd like an apple, please.
232
Can I borrow your computer?
233
Let me think about that.
234
So, learn the whole phrase?
235
Yes.
236
Learn chunks of language.
237
How are you doing?
238
Not just how and are and you.
239
The full phrase.
240
These phrases come out automatically.
241
You don't need to think.
242
You just say them.
243
Like a reflex.
244
And reflexes are fast.
245
That's why your speech becomes more natural.
246
I wish I had a reflex for "I would like the chicken sandwich in London." Next time, Tom.
247
Next time.
248
Next time.
249
I am ready.
250
Tip 8, our last tip.
251
And maybe the most important one.
252
What is it?
253
Be okay with mistakes.
254
Oh.
255
So many people don't speak because they are afraid of making mistakes.
256
They think, "What if I say the wrong word?
257
What if people laugh?" I felt this in London.
258
I didn't want to be embarrassed.
259
Oh, and that fear kept you silent, Yes, completely silent.
260
But here is the truth.
261
Every single English speaker made mistakes.
262
Every single one.
263
Even native speakers make mistakes.
264
Mistakes are not the problem.
265
Silence is the problem.
266
Yes!
267
A mistake means you tried.
268
And trying is how you learn.
269
Every mistake is a lesson.
270
Even the three soups.
271
teaching thousands of people because of that story.
272
That is true.
273
Three soups changed my life.
274
Three soups changed your life.
275
I love this channel.
276
Okay, shadowing time.
277
Repeat after us.
278
We say it slowly, then together.
279
Ready?
280
Let's go.
281
Practice.
282
practice.
283
Practice.
284
Your turn.
285
Practice.
286
Shadow.
287
shadow shadow say it shadow Confidence.
288
Confidence.
289
Confidence.
290
Confidence.
291
Say it loud.
292
I practice English every day.
293
Say it with us.
294
I practice English every day.
295
I am not afraid of mistakes.
296
i am not afraid of mistakes say it and mean it i am not afraid of mistakes

298
My English voice is getting stronger every day.
299

300
My English voice is getting stronger every day.
301
Yes, that's right.
302
Beautiful.
303
I can feel your voices through the screen.
304
If you want a speaking partner, write "speaking partner" in the comments.
305
Let's connect this community.
306
Yes, let's build something amazing together down there.
307
That is it for today's lesson.

Contesto & Sfondo

Molti studenti di inglese che comprendono la lingua, ma faticano a esprimersi, si trovano in una situazione comune e frustrante. Il dialogo presentato da Tom e Lily mette in luce questo problema, dove Tom racconta la sua esperienza personale di blocco verbale in un ristorante a Londra. Nonostante avesse studiato e preparato le frasi da utilizzare, quando è arrivato il momento di parlare, si è sentito aggredito dall'ansia, risultando in totale silenzio. Questo esempio dimostra l'importanza non solo della comprensione, ma anche della pratica attiva nel parlare.

Le 5 Frasi Chiave per la Comunicazione Quotidiana

  • What would you like today, sir? - Questa è una domanda comune nei ristoranti e ogni studente dovrebbe conoscerla.
  • Can I get the bill, please? - Utile per concludere il pasto e chiedere il conto.
  • I would like to order... - Frase fondamentale per esprimere le proprie richieste.
  • Excuse me, could you repeat that? - Chiedere chiarimenti è normale e molto importante.
  • I'm sorry, I don't understand. - Essere onesti riguardo alla comprensione aiuta a migliorare la conversazione.

Guida Passo-Passo al Shadowing

Per affrontare le difficoltà comunicative come quelle mostrate nel video, puoi utilizzare la tecnica dello shadowing in inglese. Ecco una guida pratica per migliorare le tue abilità di comunicazione:

  1. Ascolta attentamente: Inizia guardando il video o ascoltando un podcast come quello di Tom e Lily. Presta particolare attenzione alle frasi chiave e alle espressioni.
  2. Ripeti ad alta voce: Usa la tecnica del shadow speak ripetendo le frasi immediatamente dopo averle sentite. Questo aiuta a migliorare la pronuncia e l’intonazione.
  3. Memoriza le frasi: Pratica le frasi chiave elencate in precedenza. Familiarizzare con queste espressioni ti darà fiducia nella tua conversazione.
  4. Esercitati con un partner: Cerca un amico o un tutor con cui praticare la pratica di conversazione in inglese. Insieme, potete contribuire a migliorare le vostre abilità.
  5. Rivedi e ripeti: Non aver paura di tornare sui tuoi passi. Ripeti i video o le registrazioni molte volte fino a sentirti a tuo agio nel parlare.

Incorporare la pratica dello shadow speech nella tua routine di studio ti aiuterà a liberare la tua voce in inglese e a esprimerti con più sicurezza.

La grammatica di questo video

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

StrutturaNel video
Present perfect have/has + participio passato — un’azione passata che conta ancora adessohave sent · has heard
Forma passiva be + participio passato — conta ciò che accade, non chi lo fawas shocked · are not subscribed
Verbo + -ing enjoy, keep, stop… + -ing — i verbi seguiti dalla forma in -ingkeep watching · practice speaking · stop laughing
Consigli con “should” should + verbo — dire che cosa è meglio fareshould have · should try

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.
