Welcome to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.
2
Learn English with Masu and Fizu.
3
Hey there, friend!
4
Welcome back.
5
You know, I was sitting in my favorite chair this morning, drinking coffee, and I started thinking about something.
6
Have you ever looked at your life and thought, I want something different?
7
Maybe you want a new job.
8
Maybe you want to wake up earlier.
9
you want to finally speak English fluently. That feeling?
10
That's what we're talking about today.
11
I'm Masu, and this is Speak Up Sessions English Podcast, where we learn English the way real people actually speak it,
12
through natural conversation, just like this one.
13
Today's episode is special because we're not just learning English, we're learning how to talk about changing your life in English.
14
And here's the exciting part.
15
By the end of our conversation today, you'll be able to talk about your goals, your plans, and your dreams in clear, confident English.
16
We're going to practice two very different situations.
17
First, you're going to hear a conversation between two friends at a coffee shop.
18
One friend wants to make a big change, and the other is giving advice.
19
Then we're going to practice something completely different, talking to yourself.
20
Yes, you heard that right.
21
Sometimes the most important conversations we have are the ones we have with ourselves.
22
And speaking of conversations, I'm not alone today.
23
Fizu is here with me, and he's learning right along with you.
24
Fizu, let me ask you something.
25
Have you ever wanted to change something in your life?
26
Oh, yes.
27
Actually, I am one to change many things.
28
Good try.
29
I can hear your thinking, but we don't say, I am want, we say, I want.
30
The word want is already a verb, so we don't need am before it.
31
Try again.
32
I want to change many things.
33
I want to change many things.
34
Perfect.
35
Now that's exactly right.
36
So, tell me, what's one thing you want to change?
37
Hmm, I want to wake up more early.
38
Great.
39
I love that.
40
Small correction though.
41
We say wake up earlier, not more early.
42
In English, we usually say earlier instead of more early.
43
It's one of those little things.
44
Can you say it again?
45
I want to wake up earlier.
46
Excellent.
47
And you know what?
48
That's a perfect example of what we're talking about today.
49
Making small changes can lead to big results.
50
All right, let's dive in.
51
So, Fizu, when we want to talk about changing our lives, we often use some specific phrases in English.
52
Let me ask you, What's the first step when you want to change something?
53
Um, I think… you must thinking about it?
54
Good idea!
55
But let's fix the grammar.
56
We say, you must think about it, not thinking.
57
After must, we use the base form of the verb.
58
So, you must think about it.
59
Try it.
60
You must think about it.
61
Yes, that's it.
62
And you're absolutely right.
63
The first step is thinking.
64
But in English, we have a really common phrase for this.
65
We say, you need to set a goal.
66
Do you know what set a goal means?
67
Hmm, is it like make a plan?
68
Very close.
69
A goal is something you want to achieve, like your dream or your target.
70
And set means to decide on it clearly.
71
So set a goal means to choose what you want to accomplish.
72
For example, my goal is to speak English fluently.
73
That's my target.
74
Make sense?
75
Oh, yes, I understand.
76
So I can say, my goal is wake up at 6 a.m.
77
Almost.
78
We need one small word.
79
We say, my goal is to wake up at 6 a.m.
80
We need to before the verb.
81
This is super common in English.
82
Try again.
83
My goal is to wake up at 6 a.m.
84
Perfect.
85
Now you've got it.
86
And here's something interesting.
87
When we talk about change, we often talk about the difference between wanting something and doing something.
88
Let me tell you a quick story.
89
A few years ago, I wanted to get healthier.
90
I thought about it every day.
91
I said, I want to exercise.
92
I want to eat better.
93
But you know what?
94
Nothing changed.
95
Why?
96
Because I didn't take action.
97
I didn't actually do anything.
98
I just wanted it.
99
Then, one day, I made a decision.
100
I set a clear goal.
101
I will exercise for 20 minutes every morning.
102
And I started small, just 20 minutes.
103
And slowly, day by day, my life started to change.
104
Wow.
105
So wanting is not enough.
106
You must do it.
107
Exactly.
108
And that's a very important phrase.
109
Take action.
110
It means to actually do something, not just think about it.
111
Can you say that phrase?
112
Take action.
113
Beautiful.
114
Now, in English, we have another phrase.
115
make a change.
116
This means to actually do something different.
117
For example, I made a change in my morning routine.
118
Or, she's making a change in her career.
119
Oh, I see.
120
So I can say, I want to make a change in my life.
121
Absolutely perfect.
122
That's exactly how we say it.
123
Now, here's a cultural note for you and everyone listening.
124
In many English-speaking countries, especially in North America, people talk a lot about self-improvement.
125
That means making yourself better.
126
It's a very common topic.
127
You'll hear people talk about their goals, their habits, their morning routines.
128
It's very normal to share these things with friends.
129
So when you learn these phrases, you're not just learning English, you're learning how to have conversations that native speakers have every day.
130
So it's normal to talk about goals with friends?
131
Yes, but quick fix.
132
Normal to talk about goals, not talking.
133
After two, we use the base form.
134
Say it again.
135
It's normal to talk about goals with friends.
136
Perfect.
137
And yes, absolutely.
138
In fact, that's exactly what we're about to practice in our first situation today.
139
Are you ready?
140
Yes, I'm ready.
141
All right.
142
So we've learned some important phrases.
143
Set a goal, make a change, and take action.
144
But here's something really useful. In English, we have many different ways to talk about the same idea
145
let me show you instead of saying i want to change
146
my life you can also say i want to turn my
147
life around i want to start fresh i want to make
148
a fresh start these all mean basically the same thing
149
but they sound a bit more natural and emotional fizzu
150
which one do you like i like start fresh it sounds
151
um like new beginning exactly it means a new beginning great choice Now, let's practice something.
152
Imagine you want to tell a friend about a change you want to make.
153
What would you say?
154
Um, I want to make my life better.
155
That works, but let's make it sound more natural.
156
You could say, I'm trying to improve my life, or I'm working on making some changes.
157
These sound more conversational.
158
The key is that phrase, working on.
159
It means you're actively trying to do something.
160
Can you try using that?
161
I'm working on making some changes.
162
Yes, perfect.
163
Now you sound like a native speaker.
164
And here's something else.
165
When we talk about change, we often mention why we want to change.
166
We use phrases like, I want to be happier.
167
I want to feel better about myself.
168
I want to have more energy.
169
These are all really common reasons people give.
170
Fizu, why do you want to wake up earlier?
171
Because I want to have more time in the morning.
172
Good.
173
Small fix.
174
I want to have more time.
175
Remember, after want, we need to.
176
Try again.
177
I want to have more time in the morning.
178
Excellent.
179
And that's a great reason now here's something I want to share with everyone listening
180
when you're learning English you're actually already making a change in
181
your life think about it you're taking action right now you're
182
watching this video you're practicing you're improving that's what change looks like
183
And the beautiful thing is change doesn't have to be huge.
184
Small changes add up.
185
Learning five new phrases today is a change.
186
Practicing English for 30 minutes is a change.
187
Every small step counts.
188
That's true.
189
I am making changes now.
190
Exactly.
191
And I love your energy.
192
Now, let me ask you something else.
193
Sometimes when we want to change, we face obstacles.
194
Do you know that word, obstacles?
195
Um, no, I don't know.
196
What is it?
197
Great question.
198
An obstacle is something that makes change difficult.
199
It's like a problem or a challenge that stops you.
200
For example, if you want to wake up early but you stay up late watching TV, that's an obstacle.
201
It's something blocking your goal.
202
Make sense?
203
Exactly.
204
Problems on the way to your goal.
205
Perfect way to say it.
206
Now, when we talk about obstacles, we often say, the biggest challenge is, or the hardest part is.
207
For example, the hardest part is staying motivated.
208
Fizu, what do you think is the biggest obstacle when people try to change?
209
I think people is lazy.
210
Good thinking, but let's fix the grammar.
211
We say people are lazy, not people is lazy.
212
People is plural, so we use are.
213
Try it.
214
People are lazy.
215
Yes.
216
Though I'd say it a bit differently.
217
Instead of lazy, we often say people lose motivation or people give up too easily.
218
These sound more natural.
219
Can you say that?
220
People lose motivation.
221
Perfect.
222
And that's exactly right.
223
That's why having support is so important.
224
That's why talking to a friend about your goals can help.
225
And actually, that's exactly what we're going to practice in our first situation.
226
We're going to listen to two friends having a conversation about making a change.
227
One friend wants to make a change, and the other friend is giving advice and support.
228
Are you ready to jump into our first real-life situation?
229
Yes, I'm ready.
230
Great.
231
Let's go.
232
Alright, picture this.
233
You're sitting in a cozy coffee shop on a Saturday afternoon.
234
The sun is coming through the window.
235
You have a warm cup of coffee in your hands.
236
Across from you sits your good friend, and you haven't seen them in a few weeks.
237
You're catching up and suddenly you realize you want to tell them about a change you're thinking about making in your life.
238
Maybe it's a new job.
239
Maybe it's a healthier lifestyle.
240
Maybe it's learning something new.
241
This is a very natural, very common conversation.
242
Fizu, in this role play, you're going to be the person who wants to make a change.
243
I'll be your friend who's listening and giving advice.
244
Let's start naturally.
245
Ready?
246
Ready.
247
Hey, it's so good to see you.
248
It's been a while.
249
How have you been?
250
Hi.
251
Yes, I'm good.
252
It's nice to see you.
253
You seem like you have something on your mind.
254
What's going on?
255
Well, actually, I want to tell you something.
256
I'm thinking to make some changes in my life.
257
Hold on.
258
Great start.
259
But let's fix that.
260
We don't say, I am thinking to make.
261
We say, I'm thinking about making, or I'm thinking of making.
262
The word about or of needs to be there.
263
Try again.
264
I'm thinking about making some changes in my life.
265
Perfect.
266
Okay, let's continue.
267
Oh, really?
268
That sounds exciting.
269
What kind of changes?
270
Um, I want to start exercise more.
271
And also, I want to eat more healthy.
272
Good, but we say eat more healthily or eat healthier, not more healthy.
273
Try it.
274
I want to eat healthier.
275
Excellent.
276
Back in roleplay, those are great goals.
277
What made you decide to do this?
278
Well, I feel very tired every day, and I think if I exercise and eat better, I will feel more energy.
279
Almost.
280
We say I will have more energy, not feel more energy.
281
Can you fix that?
282
I will have more energy.
283
Yes, perfect.
284
Back in roleplay, that makes total sense.
285
So have you started yet, or are you still planning?
286
I'm still planning.
287
I want to start, but I don't know how to beginning.
288
Okay, stop there.
289
We say how to begin, not how to beginning.
290
After how to, we use the base form of the verb.
291
Say it again.
292
I don't know how to begin.
293
Great.
294
Back in character.
295
You know what?
296
The best way to begin is to start small.
297
Don't try to change everything at once.
298
Maybe just start with 15 minutes of exercise a day.
299
What do you think?
300
That's a good idea.
301
But what if I give up?
302
Nice use of give up.
303
That's perfect.
304
Continuing, that's a good question.
305
Here's what I think.
306
Tell someone about your goal.
307
When you tell a friend, you're more likely to keep going.
308
Actually, you're telling me right now, so I'm going to check on you next week.
309
Deal?
310
Hey, deal.
311
Thank you for support me.
312
Almost.
313
We say, thank you for supporting me.
314
After four, we use the ing form.
315
Try again.
316
Thank you for supporting me.
317
Perfect.
318
Continuing, of course, I believe in you.
319
Remember, small steps lead to big changes.
320
You've got this.
321
Yes, I will start tomorrow.
322
Love it.
323
Okay, Fizu, that was excellent.
324
Let's pause and look at what we just practiced.
325
So in that conversation, we used so many important phrases.
326
Let me highlight the most useful ones.
327
I'm thinking about making some changes.
328
This is how you introduce the topic naturally.
329
What made you decide to do this?
330
A common question friends ask.
331
I don't know how to begin.
332
Perfect way to express uncertainty.
333
Start small.
334
Great advice phrase.
335
What if I give up?
336
Common worry.
337
Give up means to stop trying.
338
I believe in you.
339
Warm, supportive phrase friends use.
340
Fizu, how did that feel?
341
It felt good.
342
I made some mistakes, but I learned.
343
Exactly.
344
And that's the point.
345
Now, everyone watching, here's your challenge.
346
Think about a change you want to make.
347
Try having this same conversation with a friend this week.
348
It doesn't have to be perfect.
349
Just try.
350
You'll be amazed at how good it feels to talk about your goals in English.
351
Ready for our second situation?
352
Yes.
353
That was great, Fizu.
354
You really did well with that coffee shop conversation.
355
Now, here's something interesting.
356
We just practiced talking to a friend about making changes.
357
But you know what?
358
Some of the most powerful conversations happen when we're alone.
359
Have you ever talked to yourself?
360
Um, yes, sometimes.
361
Is that normal?
362
Absolutely.
363
It's completely normal.
364
In fact, a lot of successful people talk to themselves.
365
They use something called self-talk.
366
That means the things you say to yourself in your own mind or even out loud.
367
When you're trying to change your life, self-talk is super important.
368
You might wake up in the morning and say to yourself, today is going to be a good day, or I can do this.
369
These little phrases can actually help you stay motivated.
370
And here's the thing.
371
Practicing self-talk in English is an amazing way to learn the language.
372
You're learning the language and encouraging yourself at the same time.
373
Oh, I never think about that.
374
So I can practice English by talking to myself?
375
Exactly.
376
And it's free, you can do it anywhere, and nobody will judge you because you're alone.
377
Our second situation today is going to be different from the first.
378
Instead of talking to a friend, we're going to practice self-talk, the conversation you have with yourself when you're trying to make a change.
379
Imagine you wake up in the morning.
380
It's early, you're tired, and you have a choice.
381
Stay in bed or get up and start your new healthy routine.
382
What do you say to yourself in that moment?
383
I don't know.
384
That's difficult.
385
It is at first, but I'm going to show you exactly how to do it.
386
We're going to practice positive self-talk together.
387
Ready?
388
Okay.
389
Let's try.
390
All right.
391
Here's the scene.
392
It's 6am, your alarm just went off, you're lying in bed, your room is still a little dark, you're warm under the blanket,
393
and your brain is telling you, just sleep a little more.
394
You're tired, you don't need to get up.
395
But you have a goal.
396
You decided yesterday that you're going to wake up early, exercise, and start your day right.
397
This is the moment.
398
This is where change happens, in these small morning moments.
399
Fizu, I want you to be yourself, lying in bed, and I want you to practice talking to yourself out loud, encouraging yourself to get up and start your day.
400
I'll help you as we go.
401
Sound good?
402
Okay.
403
I would try.
404
All right.
405
Let's start.
406
Imagine you just woke up.
407
What's the first thing you say to yourself?
408
Mmm.
409
Ugh.
410
I'm so tired.
411
Perfect.
412
That's realistic.
413
Now, what do you say next to motivate yourself?
414
Um, okay.
415
I must to get up.
416
Good start.
417
But we don't say I must to get up.
418
We say I must get up or I need to get up.
419
No to after must.
420
Try it.
421
I must get up.
422
Yes.
423
Now keep going.
424
What else can you say to yourself?
425
Today is important day.
426
Almost.
427
We need an article.
428
We say, today is an important day.
429
Try again.
430
Today is an important day.
431
Perfect.
432
Keep going.
433
What's your goal for today?
434
My goal is to exercise for 20 minutes.
435
Excellent.
436
Now, here's a phrase a lot of people use in English.
437
I can do this.
438
It's simple but powerful.
439
Can you say that?
440
I can do this.
441
Beautiful.
442
Now say it with more confidence.
443
I can do this.
444
Yes.
445
Now let's add more.
446
You're still in bed.
447
You're trying to convince yourself.
448
What else might you say?
449
Try this.
450
If I get up now, I'll feel great later.
451
If I get up now, I'll feel great later.
452
Perfect.
453
That's exactly the kind of self-talk successful people use.
454
They remind themselves of the benefit, the good thing that will happen.
455
Now imagine you're actually getting out of bed.
456
What do you say?
457
Here I go.
458
I'm getting up now.
459
Great.
460
And once you're up, you might say, I did it.
461
I actually got up.
462
Try that.
463
I did it.
464
I actually got up.
465
Excellent.
466
Now here's another phrase.
467
I'm proud of myself.
468
This is something really important.
469
When you do something difficult, celebrate it.
470
Say that phrase.
471
I'm proud of myself.
472
Beautiful.
473
Now let's practice the whole sequence.
474
Imagine you're waking up again.
475
Give me your best self-talk from start to finish.
476
Okay, um, I'm tired, but I must get up.
477
Today is an important day.
478
My goal is to exercise for 20 minutes.
479
I can do this.
480
If I get up now, I'll feel great later.
481
Okay, I'm getting up.
482
I did it.
483
I'm proud of myself.
484
Fizu, that was amazing.
485
Do you see how powerful that is?
486
You just went from I'm tired to I'm proud of myself in just a few sentences.
487
That's the power of positive self-talk.
488
Wow.
489
Yes, I feel good even just practicing it.
490
Exactly.
491
And here's the thing.
492
This isn't just for waking up early.
493
You can use this kind of self-talk for any change you want to make.
494
Let me show you a few more examples.
495
If you're nervous about speaking English, I'm learning.
496
It's okay to make mistakes.
497
Every time I practice, I get better.
498
I can do this.
499
If you're trying to eat healthier, I'm choosing what's good for my body.
500
I'm making progress.
501
I'm proud of this choice.
502
If you're starting something new, everyone starts somewhere.
503
I'm taking the first step.
504
I believe in myself.
505
Fizu, can you try one?
506
Imagine you're about to speak English with a stranger and you're nervous.
507
What would you say to yourself?
508
Mmm… It's okay to making mistakes.
509
Almost.
510
We say, it's okay to make mistakes.
511
Base form after to.
512
Try again.
513
It's okay to make mistakes.
514
I'm learning.
515
Perfect!
516
See how good that sounds?
517
Now let's pause and talk about what we just practiced.
518
So in this situation, we learned how to use self-talk conversation you have with yourself.
519
This is completely different from our first situation where you are talking to a friend.
520
Here, you're being your own friend, your own coach.
521
The key phrases we used were, I must get up, telling yourself what to do.
522
Today is an important day, setting the tone.
523
I can do this, building confidence.
524
If I get up now, I'll feel great later.
525
I'm proud of myself.
526
Celebrating small wins.
527
It's okay to make mistakes.
528
Being kind to yourself.
529
Notice how different this is from talking to a friend?
530
When you talk to yourself, you're more direct.
531
You use I a lot.
532
You're giving yourself commands and encouragement.
533
Now, here's your challenge, everyone watching.
534
Tomorrow morning, try talking to yourself in English.
535
Just one or two sentences.
536
Maybe, today is a good day, or I can do this.
537
Start small, See how it feels.
538
I'm going to try this.
539
I like it.
540
I'm so glad.
541
All right, let's move on to our vocabulary highlights.
542
Okay, from both of our situations today, the coffee shop conversation and the morning self-talk, let's highlight the most important words and phrases you need to remember.
543
1. Make a change or make changes.
544
We used this phrase a lot today.
545
I want to make a change in my life.
546
It means to do something different.
547
Fizu, can you use this in a sentence?
548
Um, I want to make changes in my morning routine.
549
Perfect.
550
Notice we can say make a change, singular, or make changes, plural.
551
Both work.
552
Example 1.
553
She made a big change.
554
She moved to a new city.
555
Example 2.
556
I'm making small changes every day.
557
Common mistake.
558
Don't say, my goal is speak English.
559
Always use to.
560
3. Give up.
561
This means to stop trying, to quit.
562
It's usually negative.
563
Fizu, can you make a sentence?
564
Um, I don't want to give up.
565
Perfect!
566
That's exactly how we use it.
567
Example 1.
568
Don't give up.
569
You're doing great.
570
Example 2.
571
He gave up after one week.
572
This means he stopped trying.
573
Common mistake.
574
People sometimes say give it up, but we say give it up or just give up.
575
4. I can do this.
576
Simple but powerful.
577
This is what you say to yourself when you need confidence.
578
It's pure self-talk.
579
Everyone, say it with me.
580
I can do this.
581
I can do this.
582
Beautiful.
583
Example 1.
584
I was nervous, but I said to myself, I can do this.
585
Example 2.
586
Whenever I feel scared, I remind myself, I can do this.
587
Number 5.
588
I'm proud of myself.
589
This is how you celebrate your progress.
590
Proud means you feel good about what you did.
591
Fizu, when was the last time you felt proud?
592
Um, when I finish this English practice.
593
Perfect.
594
You should be proud.
595
Example 1.
596
I woke up early every day this week.
597
I'm proud of myself.
598
Example 2.
599
She's proud of herself for learning English.
600
Number 6.
601
Start small.
602
This is advice we give to someone who wants to make a big change.
603
It means don't try to do everything at once.
604
Begin with something easy.
605
So, like, don't try to exercise two hours on first day.
606
Exactly.
607
Start with ten minutes, then build up.
608
Can you make a sentence with start small?
609
If you want to learn English, start small.
610
Maybe five minutes a day.
611
That's perfect!
612
Great advice!
613
Example 1.
614
Don't try to change everything.
615
Start small.
616
Example 2.
617
I started small.
618
Just one healthy meal a day.
619
Number seven.
620
It's okay to make mistakes.
621
This is something you say to yourself or to a friend when someone is worried about failing.
622
Fezu, why is this important?
623
Because mistakes help us learn.
624
Exactly.
625
And in English learning especially, mistakes are normal and good.
626
Example one.
627
Don't worry.
628
It's okay to make mistakes when you're learning.
629
Example two.
630
I remind myself it's okay to make mistakes.
631
Number eight, take action.
632
This means to actually do something, not just think about it.
633
It's about moving from planning to doing.
634
So thinking is not enough.
635
You must take action.
636
Perfect.
637
Exactly right.
638
Example one, stop waiting.
639
Take action today.
640
Example two, she finally took action and started her new business.
641
All right, those are eight super important phrases from today.
642
Now let's move to some practical tips.
643
Based on everything we practiced today, here are four practical speaking tips you can use right away.
644
Tip number one, use I want to to talk about your goals.
645
This is the simplest, most natural way to express your goals in English.
646
Why it works?
647
It's direct and clear.
648
Everyone understands it.
649
Example from today, I want to exercise more or I want to wake up earlier.
650
How to use it today.
651
Think of one goal you have.
652
Say it out loud right now.
653
I want to.
654
Tip number two.
655
Practice self-talk in English every morning, even just one sentence when you wake up.
656
Why it works?
657
It builds confidence and gives you daily English practice, two benefits in one.
658
Example from today.
659
Today is a good day.
660
Or I can do this.
661
How to use it today.
662
Tomorrow morning, before you check your phone, say one positive sentence to yourself in English.
663
Tip number three.
664
When giving advice, use you should or why don't you.
665
These are gentle, friendly ways to make suggestions.
666
Why it works?
667
It sounds natural and supportive, not bossy.
668
Example from today.
669
You should start small or why don't you tell a friend about your goal?
670
How to use it today.
671
Next time a friend asks for advice, try using these phrases.
672
Tip number four.
673
Celebrate small wins with I did it or I'm proud of myself.
674
Don't wait for big achievements.
675
Celebrate the small ones.
676
Why it works?
677
It keeps you motivated and builds positive feelings around learning English.
678
Example from today.
679
After finishing this podcast, you can say I did it!
680
I practiced English for 30 minutes!
681
How to use it today?
682
Right now, after this video ends, say it out loud.
683
I did it.
684
And here's something I want you to remember.
685
Every time you practice English, you're making a change in your life.
686
You're taking action.
687
You're not just learning words.
688
You're becoming a more confident version of yourself.
689
These small steps add up to big transformations.
690
Keep going.
691
Alright, Fizu, we've covered so much today.
692
Let's do a quick recap.
693
What was our main topic?
694
We talked about how to change your life and how to talk about change in English.
695
Exactly.
696
And we practiced two very different situations.
697
What was the first one?
698
We practiced talking to a friend at a coffee shop.
699
I told my friend about my goals and my friend gave me advice.
700
Perfect.
701
And the second situation?
702
We practiced self-talk, talking to myself in the morning to stay motivated.
703
Yes.
704
And what were some of the most important phrases we learned?
705
Um, make a change, set a goal, I can do this, and I'm proud of myself.
706
Excellent memory.
707
Those are powerful phrases.
708
Now, Fizu, I want to ask you, how do you feel now compared to when we started?
709
Honestly, I feel more confident.
710
At the beginning, I made many mistakes, but now I understand how to talk about goals and changes, and I learned that it's okay to make mistakes.
711
That's beautiful, and you know what?
712
That's exactly the feeling I want everyone watching to have.
713
You came here to learn English, but you're leaving with something more.
714
The language to talk about changing your life, the confidence to use it, and the knowledge that every small step counts.
715
Yes, I feel good.
716
And that's the goal.
717
Alright, let's wrap this up.
718
Thank you so much for being here with us today.
719
Whether this is your first time watching, or you've been with us for a while, I'm really grateful you chose to spend this time learning with us.
720
Here's something I want you to remember.
721
Everyone who speaks English fluently today started exactly where you are right now.
722
They made mistakes, they felt uncertain, but they kept practicing.
723
And that's what makes the difference.
724
Not perfection, but consistency.
725
So here's your challenge for today.
726
Practice just one thing we learned.
727
Maybe it's saying, I can do this, to yourself tomorrow morning.
728
Maybe it's telling a friend about a goal you have.
729
Maybe it's just using the phrase, make a change in a sentence.
730
Pick one.
731
Try it.
732
See how it feels.
733
And if you found this episode helpful, do me a favor.
734
Subscribe to this channel.
735
Why?
736

737
It's like having a regular study partner.
738
Also, I'd love to hear from you.
739
Leave a comment and tell me what's one change you want to make in your life.
740
Write it in English.
741
Don't worry about mistakes, just try.
742
I read every comment and I'll cheer you on.
743
And if you know someone else who's learning English, share this video with them.
744
Learning is always better with a friend.
745
Alright, Fizu.
746
Any final words?
747
Yes.
748
Thank you everyone for learning with me today.
749
I made mistakes, but I learned so much.
750
And I want to say, if I can do it, you can do it too.
751
Let's keep practicing together.
752
Beautifully said.
753
Alright everyone, remember, small steps, big changes.
754
Keep going, keep practicing, and most importantly, believe in yourself.
755
We'll see you in the next episode of Speak Up English Podcast.

この動画が話す練習に最適な理由
日常的な会話を通して自然な英語を学べるのがこの動画の魅力です。友達同士のコーヒーショップでの会話や、自分自身との対話といったシチュエーションは、誰でも経験するもので、IELTS スピーキング対策にも役立ちます。間違いを訂正しながら進めるスタイルは、初心者でも安心して取り組め、「なぜこう言うのか」がわかるので、単なる暗記ではなく本当に使える英語を身につけられます。
自然な表現を分解してみよう
- 「I want to change many things.」：「I am want」と間違えがちですが、「want」は動詞なので「am」は不要です。このように基本的な文法ミスを訂正することで、正しい文の構造が身につきます。
- 「I want to wake up earlier.」：「more early」ではなく「earlier」が正しい表現です。比較級の使い方は英語の発音を良くするだけでなく、自然な会話に不可欠です。
- 「Making small changes can lead to big results.」：小さな変化が大きな結果につながるという意味で、シンプルな単語の組み合わせで強いメッセージを伝えています。こうしたフレーズは作文やスピーチでも使えます。
効果的な練習ルーティン：shadow speak
動画で英語学習をするなら、shadowspeak（シャドーイング）が最適です。まず動画を1文ずつ聞き、すぐに同じ速さ、同じイントネーションで繰り返します。その際、録音して自分の発音と原話を比較してみてください。「I want to wake up earlier.」のような文は、何度も繰り返すことで自然に口から出てくるようになります。1日10分、継続することで、スピーキングの自信がつき、shadow speakの技術も向上します。
小さな一歩から始めて、今日からあなたの英語生活を変えてみましょう！
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。
