Welcome to my English Practice Podcast.
2
My name is Ellie, and I am really happy you're here today.
3
This podcast is for you.
4
If you want to understand English better,
5
speak with more confidence and train your ears little by little without stress.
6
Today, I want to talk about something very important,
7
but many people forget it.
8
Today, we are going to talk about how to have a better, more positive attitude.
9
when you're learning English.
10
Because honestly, your attitude can change everything.
11
Some people have the best books,
12
the best apps, the best teachers,
13
but they still feel stuck.
14
And many Many times it's not because they're not smart,
15
it's because they feel nervous,
16
they feel embarrassed, or they feel like they're bad at English.
17
So today I want to help you change that and I want this to feel like a real conversation,
18
like we are sitting together having coffee and I'm encouraging you step by step.
19
Let's start with a simple truth.
20
Learning English is not just about grammar.
21
It's not just about vocabulary.
22
It's also about confidence.
23
And it's about patience.
24
And it's about how you talk to yourself in your mind
25
because if you wake up
26
and you say English is too hard I will never learn I'm not good at languages then your brain believes that
27
But if you wake up and say, I learned little by little,
28
I can improve, I can practice today,
29
then your brain works with you, not against you.
30
So the first positive attitude tip is this.
31
Talk to yourself.
32
Like a friend.
33
If your friend is learning English, you would not say, You're terrible.
34
You sound funny.
35
You will never learn.
36
No, you would say, Good job.
37
Keep going.
38
You're improving.
39
So why do we talk to ourselves in a negative way?
40
From today, I want you to try something.
41
When you make a mistake in English, don't say, I'm so bad.
42
Say, that's okay.
43
I'm learning.
44
Say it again.
45
Slowly.
46
That's okay.
47
I'm learning.
48
Because mistakes are not the enemy.
49
Mistakes are part of learning.
50
Now, the second tip is also very important.
51
Stop waiting to feel ready.
52
A lot of students tell me, Ellie, I want to speak English, but I'm not ready.
53
Let me tell you something.
54
You don't become ready first and then you speak.
55
You speak and then you become ready.
56
Confidence is not something that appears from nowhere.
57
Confidence is something you build little by little,
58
day by day, word by word.
59
So, instead of saying, I'm not ready,
60
try saying, I'm going to try.
61
Because trying is powerful.
62
Now, the third tip, celebrate small progress.
63
Many people quit because they only focus on what they cannot do.
64
They say, I can't speak fast.
65
I don't understand movies.
66
I don't know a lot of words.
67
But they forget the process they already did.
68
But they forget the process they already made.
69
Maybe before you didn't understand anything.
70
And now you understand some words.
71
That is progress.
72
Maybe before you couldn't say a full sentence.
73
And now you can say, I work today. Or, I'm tired. Or, I need help.
74
That is progress.
75
So, I want you to start noticing small wins.
76
Even if it's small, even if it's just one new word,
77
that new word can change your confidence.
78
Now, let's talk about something that hurts a lot of learners.
79
Feeling embarrassed.
80
Many people feel embarrassed to speak English.
81
because they think people will laugh.
82
But listen to me.
83
Most people are not judging you.
84
And even if someone judges you, that does not stop your progress.
85
Your future is more important than a person's opinion.
86
And remember this.
87
Every person who speaks English well today was a beginner.
88
One day, they made mistakes too.
89
They sounded different too.
90
They felt nervous too.
91
So, don't feel ashamed.
92
Be proud because learning a second language is not easy
93
and you are doing it now i want to talk about a simple mindist
94
that helps a lot think of english like the gym
95
if you do the gym one day you lift weights you don't get strong
96
immediately you get sore you get tired
97
but you are building strength english is the same
98
when you practice listen your brain gets tired
99
when you practice speaking your mouth feels strange but But that is normal.
100
You are building your English muscles.
101
So don't quit just because it feels hard.
102
Hard is not bad.
103
Hard means you are growing.
104
And now before we continue, quick message from me.
105
it truly helps.
106
If you're enjoying this podcast,
107
please subscribe, leave a like, and write a comment.
108
It motivates me so much to keep making these English practice videos for you.
109
Even a simple comment like, I'm practicing, or thank you, Ellie, helps me a lot.
110
Okay, thank you.
111
Let's continue.
112
Now, the next positive attitude tip is this.
113
Make English part of your life.
114
Not a big problem.
115
Some students say, I need to study English for two hours every day.
116
And then they feel tired, they feel stressed, and they quit.
117
But what if you do something simpler?
118
What if you do 10 minutes every day?
119
What if you listen while you cook?
120
What if you repeat one sentence in the shower?
121
What if you practice in the car?
122
That is easier and it becomes part of your life.
123
The goal is consistency, not perfection.
124
Consistency is your best friend.
125
Because 10 minutes every day is better than 2 hours one day and 0 or 2 weeks.
126
Now another mindset tip.
127
Stop comparing yourself.
128
This is big.
129
Some people compare themselves to someone who speaks English very fast.
130
And they feel bad.
131
But you don't know that person's story.
132
Maybe they have been learning for 10 years.
133
Maybe they live in the United States.
134
Maybe they practice every day.
135
So, comparing yourself only makes you feel sad.
136
Instead, compare yourself to your past self.
137
Ask yourself, am I better than last month?
138
Even a little?
139
If yes, you are winning.
140
Now I want to give you a simple positive attitude.
141
Routine for your English.
142
You can do this every day.
143
Step 1 Say something positive.
144
Say I can improve.
145
Say it slow.
146
I can improve.
147
Step 2.
148
Do a small practice.
149
Listen to a short audio.
150
Repeat a short sentence.
151
Read something easy.
152
Step 3.
153
Celebrate.
154
Say, good job.
155
Yes, say it to yourself.
156
Good job because that builds confidence.
157
Now, let's make it even more practical.
158
I'm going to say a few sentences,
159
and I want you to feel the attitude in them.
160
I'm learning English and I am proud of myself.
161
My English is getting better little by little.
162
Mistakes help me learn.
163
I don't need to be perfect.
164
I need to practice.
165
I don't need to be perfect.
166
I need to practice.
167
Now, let me tell you something personal.
168
I have taught many students
169
and the students who improve the most are not always the ones with the best memory.
170
The students who are improved the most are the ones who keep going.
171
They don't quit after a bad day.
172
They don't quit after a mistake.
173
They keep going.
174
So, if you want one final message from today, it's this.
175
Your attitude is your power.
176
If you stay positive, if you stay consistent,
177
and if you are kind to yourself, you will improve.
178
And I'm here with you.
179
We are practicing together.
180
So, take a deep breath, relax, and keep practicing.
181
Thank you.
182
Thank you for listening to my podcast today.
183
I'm Ellie, and I'll see you in the next English practice episode.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
