1
So there is something I've wanted to talk about properly for a long time
2
because I see it constantly with intermediate English learners
3
and I don't think we're good as English teachers at explaining what's actually going on.
4
If you've been learning English for years, maybe three,
5
maybe ten, and you've got this slightly horrible feeling that you used to improve quite quickly but now you just don't.
6
There's a reason for that.
7
And I don't mean you've stopped learning things.
8
You probably know more vocabulary now than you did a year ago.
9
Your listening might be better.
10
You might be able to understand virtually everything I'm saying right now without really having to concentrate.
11
But then you open your mouth to speak and the English
12
that comes out sounds much more basic than the English that exists in your head.
13
You know what you want to say.
14
Sometimes you even know how you should have said it 20 minutes after the conversation has ended, which is particularly helpful.
15
And I think the problem is that learners at this stage have spent years getting very good at knowing English,
16
but they haven't spent nearly enough time practicing how to retrieve it and use it automatically.
17
Those sound like quite similar things.
18
Knowing English, retrieving English automatically, but they are not.
19
So I want to show you what I mean and later in the video we're actually going to practice it together.
20
Once you feel the difference rather than just hearing me describe it, this will make a lot of sense.
21
Quick word on who I am if you don't know me.
22
I'm Hannah, I've taught English for well over a decade.
23
And these days, I make videos for intermediate learners who want to sound like themselves in English, not like a textbook.
24
There's a very strange stage in language learning when from the outside, you're doing brilliantly.
25
You can have conversations, you can work in English, you can watch television, maybe you read novels.
26
You've got enough vocabulary that you can talk about the things that matter most to you.
27
If somebody tested you, you'd probably come out at a perfectly respectable level.
28
And yet, speaking can still feel oddly disappointing because you know how articulate you are in your first language.
29
You know that you're funny or opinionated or nuanced, complex, whatever you happen to be.
30
And then you speak English and you become a slightly cautious version of yourself who'll say things like,
31
yes, I agree with your opinion.
32
It is very interesting.
33
And afterwards you think, I had so much more to say than that.
34
Honestly, this is one the hardest stages
35
because at the beginning progress is very obvious you learn the past tense
36
and suddenly you can tell someone what you did at the weekend once you're intermediate
37
that becomes much harder to see you're not trying to get from nothing to communication anymore
38
you're trying to get from communication that works to communication
39
that feels natural and quick and like you
40
and quite often learners respond to this difference in measuring progress by doing whatever it was
41
that got them this far so they study more grammar they consume enormous amounts of english
42
or they think themselves oh i just need to speak more
43
so they book lessons or find conversation partners all in the hope
44
that with enough hours something will just click
45
now all of those things can help i'm not going to tell you
46
that watching english films
47
or speaking english is somehow bad for your english learning what is missing
48
i think is a particular kind of practice
49
and without it you can carry on accumulating english for years
50
while your actual speaking changes surprisingly little let's take grammar
51
because this is probably the clearest example you can know the second conditional perfectly.
52
You know that you say, if I had more time, I would travel more.
53
You could probably do 20 grammar exercises on it and get 19 of them correct.
54
But then somebody says to you, what would you do if you didn't have to work?
55
And there is still this tiny delay.
56
you know the grammar.
57
Nothing is missing from your knowledge.
58
Your brain is just having to assemble the answer while you're speaking.
59
And speaking is very unforgiving because nobody freezes politely for eight seconds while you search through your mental grammar book.
60
So we tend to fall back on whatever comes most easily.
61
Maybe you avoid the structure altogether.
62
Maybe you simplify it or maybe you use a phrase
63
that you've used hundreds of times before because that's the one
64
that is ready for you in the moment
65
this distinction is fairly well established in language learning there's the english you can consciously think about
66
and explain and then there's the english that's become familiar enough that you can use it without doing much conscious disassembly.
67
I don't want to turn this into a neuroscience lecture,
68
but researchers distinguish between memory that's involved in consciously knowing things and the memory involved in skills becoming automatic.
69
And speaking, ultimately, is a skill.
70
That's why you can understand the grammatical explanation and still not use that grammar naturally in everyday conversation.
71
It's also why you can hear an expression hundreds of times, recognize it, understand what it means,
72
but somehow never think to use it yourself.
73
That happens constantly with languages that aren't your mother tongue, and it happens to me with my Italian.
74
I'll hear a phrase over and over again, but it will never be one that I automatically reach for in conversation.
75
Let's give you an example in English, you'll hear someone say, I wouldn't worry about it.
76
You understand every word.
77
There's nothing difficult there.
78
But six hours later, someone is worried that they have sent an email with a typo in it.
79
And instead of reaching for that phrase, you say something like, you don't need to worry, which is completely fine in English.
80
It just means that the natural phrase, I wouldn't worry about it,
81
is sitting in the part of your English that you recognize rather than in the part that your mouth reaches for automatically.
82
And that gap explains a huge amount about the intermediate plateau.
83
You often don't need much more English.
84
You need better access to the English you already have.
85
There's another piece of advice that intermediate learners hear constantly, which is just to speak more.
86
And speaking more is useful, of course it is, but there's a problem if all you are doing is having lots and lots of free conversation.
87
Your brain gets faster at what it repeatedly does.
88
So if you already have certain habits in English, those habits tend to become easier to produce.
89
And yes, by habits, I can mean mistakes.
90
This is how people can have extremely fluent mistakes.
91
You meet learners who say something like, I'm agree, and have been saying that for years, who never hesitate when they say it.
92
It comes out beautifully, very confident, completely automatic, because fluency and accuracy aren't the same thing.
93
And this is why correction itself can sometimes be frustrating your teacher says no not i'm agree i agree
94
and you nod because you know that you might have known
95
that for years but the very next week there it is again i'm agree
96
because the problem was never
97
that nobody explained the rule the old version the wrong version was simply much better rehearsed
98
so what tends to help is not endlessly adding more material
99
and it's not hoping general conversation will somehow one day reorganize your English.
100
You need to spend time deliberately rehearsing the language you actually want to become automatic.
101
Not hundreds of isolated words, useful chunks, sentence frames, little patterns that come up over
102
and over again in conversation once those are familiar enough
103
they start doing a lot of the work for you you're no longer building every sentence from the foundations
104
while somebody waits patiently you already have the pieces available
105
if you listen to native speakers we recycle an extraordinary amount of language
106
we don't invent every sentence from scratch we say things like i was wondering
107
if if you don't mind i don't know if probably
108
it's a bit the thing is to be fair
109
and then we put what we actually want to communicate around those familiar bits you're still thinking
110
and choosing words you're just reducing how much work your brain has to do in real time
111
and i think intermediate learners are often taught these things in completely the wrong way
112
you get a vocabulary list maybe a grammar point you do some exercises
113
and then you move on
114
which means you've met the language you just haven't necessarily trained it
115
so what i want to do now is train a few of these with you
116
and if you can actually speak don't just watch me doing it
117
because then we are back where we started
118
if you're on the bus maybe don't start loudly repeating i was wondering
119
if because you will irritate the person next to you, maybe save the video and watch it later.
120
But if you're somewhere reasonably private, have a go.
121
This is the process I want you to notice.
122
You hear a useful pattern in context.
123
You repeat it enough that your mouth gets used to it and then you have to retrieve it yourself.
124
We will do just that with four patterns now.
125
Pattern one, you need to ask someone you don't know very well for a favor
126
you could say can you help me with this absolutely fine
127
but in a situation where you want to sound softer
128
or more polite you'll very often hear this i was wondering
129
if you could help me with this in
130
that sentence the useful bit is i was wondering
131
if say it with me I was wondering if again I was wondering
132
if and once more but don't make every word equally strong this time I was wondering if
133
when you do this yourself you should repeat
134
it as many times as you can to make it yours
135
now I will give you an ending say it after me I was wondering if you had a minute it.
136
I was wondering if you could send that again.
137
I was wondering if it would be possible to change the time.
138
Now imagine you booked a table at a restaurant for 7pm and now you need to move it to 8pm.
139
Use the pattern.
140
Don't make it perfect.
141
Start with I was wondering if.
142
Go.
143
You might have said, I was wondering if I could change my reservation.
144
And if you did, well done.
145
You've just done something different from reading it on a page.
146
You've had to retrieve it.
147
You recognized it.
148
You've repeated it.
149
You used it.
150
With the next pattern, let's try something that comes up constantly when you're giving an opinion or a suggestion.
151
Someone asks, do you think I should drive or get the train?
152
And I might say, I'd probably get the train, to be honest.
153
Again, the bit I'd want is, I'd probably.
154
Not, I would probably.
155
In ordinary conversations, we contract constantly.
156
And those contractions make an enormous difference to rhythm.
157
I'd probably say it.
158
I'd probably, again.
159
I'd probably.
160
Pause, repeat it, repeat it, repeat it now again i will say a phrase repeat it after me i'd probably leave a bit earlier
161
i'd probably speak to her first i'd probably wait until tomorrow
162
now somebody asks you i'm visiting london for the day should i drive or take a train to the center
163
Give your answer, starting with that pattern.
164
Go.
165
I'd probably take the train, to be honest.
166
But the important part isn't how sensible you were about your recommendation for London transport.
167
The important part was that you retrieved this frame yourself.
168
You retrieved it without building it word by word.
169
Pattern three.
170
Now, this one is small but does an enormous amount of work, especially if you want to sound more specifically British.
171
Listen to these.
172
The soup is cold.
173
The soup's a bit cold.
174
It's the same fact really, but the second one you will hear constantly here.
175
The soup's a bit cold, not the soup is cold.
176
And that's because in British English especially, we tend to soften many things with a bit.
177
Not because we don't have opinions, we do quite strong ones in fact.
178
But because saying things too directly sounds a bit rude to us.
179
There we go, I just did it.
180
It can sound rude to us.
181
It's a bit cold.
182
It's a bit late.
183
He's a bit annoying.
184
Say them with me.
185
It's a bit cold.
186
It's a bit late.
187
He's a bit annoying.
188
and here's a slightly odd part a bit is almost never literal
189
if i describe something as a bit sore it's not a bit sore it usually is very painful
190
or very sore i'm just choosing not to make the fuss about it
191
because yes we bricks are known for understatement so when it comes to the phrase a bit.
192
The softening isn't softening the meaning, it's softening the delivery.
193
The last one.
194
This is useful because it gives you something to say while you're organising the rest of your sentence, which native speakers do constantly.
195
The thing is, I'm not sure we've got enough time.
196
The thing is, is a very common expression in English.
197
And the thing is the phrase itself isn't carrying
198
that much meaning do you see what i did there it's giving your brain a bit of runway
199
you've started speaking the conversation is moving and meanwhile
200
you've bought yourself a second or two to organize your actual point say it with me the thing is
201
the thing is the thing is pause and repeat it now let's add something to the end of it
202
The thing is, it's a bit expensive.
203
The thing is, I've already made plans.
204
The thing is, I'm not sure that would work.
205
Now, time for you to retrieve it.
206
I want you to disagree with this statement.
207
Everyone should work from home.
208
Disagree with it and start with, the thing is, go.
209
There you are.
210
And with each of those, what I hope you started to notice was that they began to feel normal.
211
The thing is, the thing is, I'm a bit tired.
212
It's a bit sore.
213
That is what you want.
214
Not intellectually impressive.
215
Things that are familiar.
216
Familiar language is much easier to retrieve when you're under pressure.
217
So if you've been stuck for a while here's what I'd actually change.
218
I wouldn't stop watching English or reading or learning new vocabulary because quite frankly that would be silly.
219
I'd just stop assuming that exposure automatically becomes speaking and I'd think about them as three shifts.
220
Shift one, stop thinking about learning English and start thinking about training the English you already have to come out faster.
221
Those sound similar but they are not the same, they're not the same project.
222
Shift 2, stop adding new material, start rehearsing what you've already got.
223
When you hear a useful sentence don't just think, oh that's nice, I understand that.
224
Steal it, use it, change a word then use it again the next day say it again
225
and again until it becomes automatic for you shift three stop chasing correctness
226
and start chasing automaticity this is the counterintuitive one
227
because automaticity actually produces more correctness than correctness produces automaticity
228
if you are always focusing on just being correct of course things aren't going to come out automatically
229
but if you automatically say the correct thing over
230
and over again the correctness builds itself the patterns running automatically
231
in a fluent speaker's head are often the correct ones and particularly
232
look for language with a lot of mileage in it i was wondering
233
if is useful
234
because you can use
235
it in dozens of situations every week a very specific sentence
236
you'd only need once every few years doesn't deserve the same rehearsal.
237
Pay attention, especially to the English you already understand but don't yet produce.
238
That is such a useful place to work because you're not learning something from scratch, you're just moving it from, oh I recognize that, to,
239
oh that's something I say automatically.
240
That's the bit most intermediate learners are missing.
241
Before I go on, there is one thing I want to mention just
242
because it would be a bit odd if I didn't.
243
i do sell a course
244
which is built around this exact problem i just didn't want
245
it coming out of nowhere in a minute's time this all of this is the reason
246
that i built unlock real english
247
because i kept seeing the same problem with students they'd learned an enormous amount of english over the years
248
and yet when we spoke they were relying on a much smaller pool of language than the language they understood.
249
So the course is built around getting
250
that useful spoken English out of the pool of passive understanding and making it easier to access.
251
What we did together in this video is a small example of the method inside it.
252
You meet the language in context first, then you practice saying it, and then you use it yourself.
253
Recognize, repeat use.
254
And so by the end, you're not just recognising my English, you're producing your own.
255
Inside, we do this much more systematically.
256
Longer practice sessions, audio you can come back to and shadow, written exercises if you need them,
257
and speaking activities that are designed to help you retrieve the language rather than just observe it.
258
It isn't really a course about collecting more vocabulary.
259
It's for people who already have quite a lot of English
260
but who are frustrated that it isn't coming out naturally when they speak.
261
One of the things I found genuinely encouraging from the students who have first gone through it is
262
that they haven't talked about learning new things, they've talked about becoming more aware of how spoken English actually works
263
and noticing things they've been hearing for years but haven't actually used themselves.
264
It is not for beginners, it is for intermediate to advanced learners, so B1 upwards.
265
And I teach British English, so that is the variety you will hear throughout.
266
You get lifetime access, so you can work through at your own pace and come back to the practice whenever you like.
267
If what I was talking about in this video felt familiar, if you thought, yes, that is the gap I have,
268
have a look at the course page.
269
No pressure, the link is below.
270
Have a read through what's included and see if that feels right for you.
271
I built it for exactly the learner I've been talking to for the past half hour.
272
So if that's you, if this felt familiar, I'd love to see you in there.
273
And whether you join me in the course or not, I'd like you to try this differently next week.
274
Pick a few phrases that you already understand easily but never seem to say.
275
Don't collect 50.
276
Choose a small number and keep coming back to them until they stop seeming like somebody else's English.
277
say them aloud change them use them when you speak see what happens because
278
if you've reached the intermediate level
279
there is already an enormous amount of english in your head
280
the next stage is about making more of it available
281
when you actually need it if this was useful
282
and you've ever had a moment
283
when you've realized 20 minutes after a conversation has finished what you should have said tell me below
284
and if you know another learner who finds themselves in the same plateau.
285
Please feel free to send this to them too.
286
Until then, I'll see you in the next one.

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.
