Hello and welcome back, dear listeners.
2
This is the 8-Minute English Podcast on the Learn English Podcast channel.
3
I'm your host, Nathan.
4
It's great to have you here with us again.
5
For young people, feeling unsure about their career can be very tiring.
6
And for those starting a new career when they're older, it's even more challenging.
7
So, is it too late?
8
Today, let's talk with Danny, Ken, and Tina about Danny's problem.
9
It might help you too.
10
We've prepared a special free PDF for this episode, filled with useful tips and vocabulary to help you learn better.
11
Make sure to check it out.
12
It will be helpful for you.
13
So, let's get started right now.
14
Danny, you seem lost in thought today.
15
Is something bothering you?
16
Yeah, I've been thinking a lot lately.
17
You know, I feel stuck.
18
I picked the wrong major in school.
19
Now I've been working in this field for years, and I don't like it.
20
Oh, Danny, calm down.
21
It's okay.
22
Tell us everything.
23
We're listening.
24
I've always loved cooking, but starting a job in it now feels really hard.
25
I'm 35.
26
It seems too late to start over.
27
Who's going to see me as a real chef when I've never worked as one?
28
Hey, Danny, you're just 35.
29
Come on, it's not like you're 85.
30
You've got time.
31
What's really holding you back?
32
I don't know.
33
Maybe fear.
34
Everyone around me seems so successful in their careers.
35
They're doing great, and I'm still unsure.
36
It feels like I've missed my chance.
37
I get it, Danny.
38
But you know what?
39
A lot of people feel this way.
40
You're not alone.
41
I felt the same when I had my son eight years ago.
42
I wondered, how will I balance my career with being a mom?
43
Am I falling behind?
44
But then I realized everyone moves at their own pace.
45
There's no set timeline for success.
46
Tina's right.
47
Everyone has their own path.
48
Look at me.
49
I'm not sitting in an office every day like most people our age.
50
I travel, learn about new cultures, and meet people.
51
I take my time to learn and grow.
52
I'm not rushing into anything, and honestly, I love it.
53
You don't have to follow anyone else's timeline, Danny.
54
But people are making good money.
55
They're buying houses and getting promotions.
56
I'm just behind.
57
It's like they're running a race, and I'm not even in it.
58
But, Danny, life isn't a race.
59
And even if it were, everyone would run their own race.
60
Some get there faster, some take more time.
61
You guys make it sound easy, but I feel like I've wasted so much time.
62
I've been at this job for over 10 years.
63
If I'd made the right choice when I was younger, I wouldn't feel this way.
64
I get it.
65
But sometimes delays teach us important lessons.
66
You've gained experience even if it wasn't what you loved.
67
The skills you've learned might still help you later on.
68
You know, J.K.
69
Rowling, right?
70
She wrote Harry Potter in her 30s.
71
Back then, she didn't even have a job.
72
If she'd thought it was too late, she wouldn't have become one of the most famous authors ever.
73
Okay, those are some good examples.
74
But it's still scary.
75
What if I fail?
76
What if I'm too late to catch up?
77
But failure doesn't mean it's over.
78
It just means you get another chance to try again.
79
It's like raising my son.
80
Sometimes he struggles with school, but we always encourage him to keep trying.
81
It's the same for adults.
82
Just because you didn't get it right the first time doesn't mean you should give up.
83
You're right.
84
I just...
85
I've seen people who started late, and they've done great things.
86
But I never thought that could be me.
87
Of course it can be you.
88
I read about Colonel Sanders.
89
He didn't start KFC until he was 65.
90
Can you believe that?
91
If he'd given up because he was too late, we wouldn't have KFC today.
92
You cook a lot, right?
93
Yes.
94
I always try new recipes because I enjoy it.
95
But how do I get others to see my skills?
96
Start sharing your cooking online.
97
Post your food pictures and recipes on Instagram or a blog.
98
You could also join a cooking class on weekends.
99
It'll build your skills and confidence without quitting your job right away.
100
You're right.
101
I need to start.
102
Cooking classes and part-time work.
103
This feels more doable now.
104
See?
105
The most important thing is not to be afraid to try.
106
It's never too late.
107
It's only too late if you're too scared to start.
108
That's right.
109
Better late than never.
110
Let's learn some important vocabulary related to our topic.
111
First, we have the verb bother.
112
It's an action that makes someone feel worried or upset.
113
Tina asks Danny if something is bothering him because he looks sad.
114
Now, let's move to the next word professionally.
115
It's an adverb that means in a way related to one's job or career.
116
Danny is worried because he has never worked professionally in cooking before.
117
Next, we have a noun fear.
118
It's an unpleasant feeling caused by danger or pain.
119
Fear stopped Danny from starting a cooking career.
120
Have you heard this word, timeline?
121
It means a schedule or plan of events in time.
122
Tina says that there's no fixed timeline for success.
123
Finally, let's learn this verb, rush.
124
It means to move or act quickly.
125
Ken is not rushing into anything.
126
He just learns and grows.
127
Did you learn how to use these words?
128
Let's look at two important questions related to the topic.
129
The first question is, what do you think the phrase better late than never means? in real life?
130
For me, it means it's better to take action, even if it's late, than not trying at all.
131
The second question is, what are common fears of starting a new career later in life?
132
I think they're afraid of failing, worrying about others' opinions, feeling too old, and doubting their chances of success.
133
Do you have your own answer?
134
I want to know your thoughts on these questions.
135
Please leave your comments below and let's discuss.
136
Before wrapping up this episode, let me share more about the founder of KFC Harlan Sanders.
137
I'm sure his story will motivate you.
138
He started at 65 with just $105.
139
After many failed jobs, he traveled around trying to sell his fried chicken recipe.
140
He got rejected over 1,000 times, but he didn't give up.
141
Finally, one restaurant said yes, and that's how Kentucky Fried Chicken, KFC, started.
142
Harlan Sanders showed that even at 65, you can start from nothing and still succeed, as long as you keep going.
143
So today's episode is over, but your journey isn't.
144
Do what you want, Because if you only think about the things around you, your life will be filled with worry.
145
Get started today.
146
For example, if you listen to the end of this podcast, it will also be your starting point.
147
Stay healthy until we meet again.
148
Goodbye and see you again.

이번 수업에 대한 소개

이번 수업에서는 진로에 대한 고민과 새로운 커리어를 시작하는 것의 어려움에 대해 이야기합니다. 특히, 나이가 들어 새로운 일을 시작하려는 사람들의 마음가짐과 두려움에 대해 다룰 것입니다. 대화 속에서 친구들이 주변 사람들의 성공을 비교하며 느끼는 불안감과 자기 자신만의 경로에 대한 이야기를 통해, 여러분은 더욱 자신감을 가질 수 있을 것입니다. 이 수업을 통해 유튜브 영어 공부를 하면서 실질적인 표현들을 배우고, 자신의 경험과 감정을 영어로 표현하는 연습을 할 수 있습니다.

주요 어휘 및 표현

  • 결정하다 (to determine)
  • 두려움 (fear)
  • 직업 (career)
  • 주변 (surroundings)
  • 재시작하다 (to start over)
  • 자신감 (confidence)
  • 성공 (success)
  • 교훈 (lesson)

연습 팁

이번 에피소드는 자연스러운 대화를 중심으로 진행되므로, shadow speak를 통해 발음과 억양을 익히기에 매우 좋은 기회입니다. 영어 쉐도잉을 할 때는 다음의 팁을 유의하세요:

  • 첫 번째로, 비디오의 속도를 줄이고 각 단어에 집중하여 따라해 보세요. 익숙해졌다면, 자연스러운 속도로 다시 시도해 보세요.
  • 참여자들의 감정과 톤을 잘 듣고, 그 감정을 표현하며 따라 합니다. 특히, 두려움이나 결단의 순간에는 목소리에 감정을 담아보세요.
  • 실제로 말하기를 시도하고, 스스로의 발음을 녹음하여 비교하면서 듣는 것도 좋은 연습이 됩니다.
  • 알아두면 좋은 표현들을 반복하여 연습하세요. 이는 IELTS 스피킹 시험 준비에 큰 도움이 될 것입니다.

자신의 이야기를 영어로 표현하는 연습을 통해, 여러분도 더 나은 영어 대화 능력을 키울 수 있습니다. 이 기회를 통해 계속해서 발전해 나가기를 바랍니다!

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
