To get fluent in English, you need lots of input Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours of input.

And to do this, English has to be a habit.

It has to be something that you do every day.

and it has to be automatic It has to be something that you don't really think about because

to do it for long enough that you can reach a high level.

It has to be easy and it has to be Effortless.

Now, there has been so much written about how to create habits and how to build habits.

And I'm not going to repeat all of that because,

like I said, you can go and research these sorts of things from people who know a lot more about

the science and about the way the brain works.

than I do.

So today I'm just going to tell you how I made learning Spanish A habit? and hopefully,

You can take something from this And maybe it will help you to make English more of a habit in your life.

First of all, I listen to two hours of Spanish every day and that might sound like a lot of time,

because it is, but I want to reach a high level of Spanish.

quick.

So I want to do it for as long as I can each day.

So that's why I do two hours.

But I didn't start.

at two hours.

I started small.

and built up.

So When you start making English a habit, I would...

Start small, start with Five minutes.

Just say today, I'm going to listen to five minutes of English.

and do it.

and something that worked really well for me was that I would do it at the same time every day.

So after I finished work, I would sit down with my laptop, and listen to Spanish.

and that is all I would do.

I would do five minutes and this creates a reward in the brain because our brains love moving towards a goal.

So if you can do something that is small,

it still gives your brain that positive reinforcement that it needs to go and do it again.

And the good thing about starting small is because

it takes less activation energy you don't need to really motivate yourself to start because it's only five minutes.

So you go and do it.

Once you do this, once, twice, three times, you will naturally want to do more.

So, Start small And then let the natural

process of wanting to do more take over let that happen and you will soon find that you want to do.

More than five minutes.

and it will build from there.

Now it's easy to say just do or watch your comprehensible input,

watch your English at the same time every day and do it in one go.

But that's not really realistic because we do so many

different things in our day it's not always possible to have the same time every day

available especially when you want to listen to a lot right because if I'm listening to two hours of Spanish

I'm not going to do it all in one go.

something that has worked really well for me is...

I can't remember the name, the technical name, but it's basically doing Spanish while I do something that is already a habit.

It's pairing Spanish with an activity that I already do.

So I walk a lot so when I walk I listen to Spanish as well because Why not?

What else am I doing?

So if you can take a habit that you already have and then listen to English while you do it.

That is such a good way.

of, getting the repetition of listening to English doing it over and over.

and helping you to form those habits.

And again, the repetition here makes it automatic and that is what is so powerful about habits is because

The first time that you do something, it requires effort.

but the repetition makes it automatic and it removes that effort So you just do it.

automatically without really having to think about it and with Spanish it's like

that now for me I don't wake up every day and think "Oh wow,

how am I going to get two hours of Spanish done?" It's just something that happens because I've built the habits.

that mean as I go throughout my day, over the day.

I gradually reach that two hour mark.

I think something that's also quite useful in helping you to build habits is If you take a big goal,

and you say, okay, I want to be conversational in English by this time Okay, how many hours of English do I need to listen to?

To reach that, And then you say, Okay, so when do I want to reach that goal?

then you can break it down and you can see exactly how much time every day, you will need to listen to English.

And If that is something that you think you can do, That's great then go for it.

But if it's something that you don't think you can do, That's fine you just might need to extend your timeline

and realise that it might take a little bit longer then you think And the reason I talk about that

in relation to habits is because if you have a big goal in mind if you have this outcome

that you can see yourself doing I think that helps you be motivated to build those habits in the first place.

If you have an end goal in mind and you have a timeline,

I think it's really important to have a timeline in mind because it helps you to have realistic Expectations.

and it can keep you motivated to keep going every day,

especially before You've built those habits because at the start before you've built those habits, you do need a little bit more motivation.

But then once you've got the habits, they really do a lot of the work for you and you can move towards your goal

without really having to think too much about it.

I would also recommend setting your target every day of how much you want to listen to,

to slightly less then what you think you can do.

It took me a long time to reach a point where I can listen to two hours a day and

At the start, I told myself, "Oh, I'm going to do two hours a day

and it's going to be great and I'm going to be able to improve really quickly.

But I found out that it was too much.

It was too much.

And at the start, I think it's important if you have a lower goal, than what you think you can do because...

Sorry if you can hear the plane passing overhead.

but If you have a goal that is less than what you think you can do.

Once you hit it, You can keep going, there's no problem there. But...

If you have a goal that you're constantly not hitting, you're consistently falling short of that goal.

It can be quite demotivating and

I think it's really important to have the that positive reinforcement of successfully hitting your small goal every day

Even if that goal is smaller maybe than what you think you can do, Again, I don't know loads about the brain,

but I feel like it almost tricks you into um it basically just releases these Good feelings.

inside you And I think it's really worth tapping into those feelings and tapping into that extra motivation.

So don't set a goal that is too high.

But by all means, If you are hitting your goal, go ahead and increase it because you'll end up speaking English even faster.

I hope you found this video useful and remember start small,

Have a timeline in mind have a goal in mind and

FOR YOU

この動画で身につくスキル

英語を習慣にする方法を学ぶだけでなく、毎日の小さな行動から継続的な学習を築く技術や、既存の習慣に英語学習を組み合わせるコツを身につけます。さらに、「シャドーイング（shadow speech）」のような入力練習を自然に日常生活に取り入れる方法も理解できます。

聞き取りに注意すべき音の特徴

動画の中では、話者の自然な発音が聞かれます。特に「and it has to be automatic」のように、単語間のリンキング（連結）が顕著で、「and it」が「an dit」のようにつながって発音されています。また、「you don't really think about」の「don't really」は「don' really」とリダクション（短縮）されており、これらの音の繋がりを聞き取ることで、よりネイティブらしい発音の感覚が養えます。

ネイティブのように話すコツ

話者のリズムとストレスを真似るには、シャドーイング（shadowing）が効果的です。動画の台詞を聞きながら、1～2秒遅れで繰り返し話すことで、自然な発音とリズムを身につけられます。特に「Start small and then let the natural process...」のような長い文では、ストレスの置かれる単語（start, small, natural, process）を強調して発音することが重要です。また、「shadow speak」の練習を毎日5分から始め、徐々に時間を増やすことで、継続しやすくなります。さらに、散歩や食事など既存の習慣に英語学習を組み合わせることで、効率的に入力時間を増やすこともできます。

英語シャドーイングの練習は、専用のshadowing siteを使うとより効果的ですが、まずは動画を使って小さな一歩を踏み出してみましょう。継続こそが鍵で、少しずつでも毎日練習することで、自然に英語が習慣になり、発音やリスニング力が向上していきます！

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。
