Welcome to the Listening Time Podcast.
2
Hey everybody, this is Connor, and you're listening to episode 127 of the Listening Time Podcast.
3
Thank you all for listening.
4
Today my voice is a little bit weak, because I'm a little bit sick, so I'm sorry about that.
5
I appreciate you bearing with me.
6
I appreciate your patience.
7
By the way, speaking of patience, this is the topic of today's episode: patience.
8
So I want to talk about this today,
9
so I think this will be a good topic for all of us because I think that
10
Pretty much everybody has room for improvement when it comes to patience.
11
By the way, we use that phrase "room for improvement." This just means that you have space to improve.
12
You are not perfect, there are still improvements.
13
that you can make.
14
So we all have room for improvement when it comes to patience, so this should be a good topic for today's episode,
15
and hopefully it will inspire all of us to be a little bit more patient in our everyday lives,
16
and hopefully that will help us out.
17
So that's what podcast if you feel ready to start practicing with real conversations between native speakers.
18
In each episode, I talk to someone from a different part of the country
19
from the U .S and we talk about a bunch of different topics and you get to learn a lot
20
about the US, our culture, different topics.
21
These conversations are really interesting, and we speak naturally.
22
And I provide the transcript for you, so you can follow along,
23
and you also have the definitions of new words and phrases.
24
that you might not know that we use during the conversation.
25

26
That's patreon .com /usconversations.

33
And as always, if you like this podcast, please give it a five -star rating,
34
with anyone else you know who's learning English.
35
Alright, let's get started.
36
Okay, let's talk about patience.
37
So, First of all, I need to mention that I'm not the most patient person in the world.
38
This is an area in which I need to improve a lot.
39
I am willing to admit that because I'm not the most patient person,
40
and I really want to improve in this area.
41
I look at my wife, for example.
42
She's more patient than I am,
43
and I try to learn from her because there are times when we're both dealing with the same situation,
44
and she is patient and calm, and I'm more agitated.
45
The word "agitated" means that you are bothered and anxious for some reason.
46
I might be agitated and yet she's perfectly fine, and we're dealing with the same issue.
47
So I can see that other people have more patience than me sometimes,
48
and I really want to improve in this regard.
49
I need to improve, and I try to do so every day.
50
tons and tons of patience.
51
I'm talking as someone who needs to improve in this area.
52
So, what are some different situations in which We need to be patient.
53
The first one that comes to mind is when we're sitting in traffic.
54
By the way, we use that phrase sitting in traffic when we talk about being in your car and you're in traffic,
55
it's moving very slowly, or sometimes it's not moving at all.
56
traffic.
57
So, This is the first situation that comes to mind when I think of patience,
58
because it's a very common occurrence, and for me, it's one of the most frustrating situations.
59
I hate being in traffic, it's one of the worst things.
60
I'm sure a lot of you agree with me about this.
61
So if we're not patient, then traffic can really...
62
bother us, it can really annoy us, and sometimes it can ruin your day
63
because you allow your mood to be negatively affected by the fact that you have to wait in traffic.
64
So this is something that we want to avoid because we can't control traffic.
65
It's completely outside of our control and if we get bothered.
66
by traffic, this doesn't help us.
67
We can't do anything to change the situation, to make the traffic suddenly go away.
68
We have no control over that.
69
I don't think it's worth it to lose our patience,
70
to lose our cool and get really angry when we're stuck in traffic.
71
There's no benefit to that.
72
By the way, when we say that you lose your cool, This means that you lose your patience and you snap,
73
you get mad, you get really frustrated.
74
Right?
75
So, We don't want to lose our cool just because traffic is bad.
76
So that's the first thing that comes to mind because I'm guilty of this.
77
Sometimes when I'm stuck in traffic, I get frustrated and I let it affect my mood,
78
but I definitely shouldn't do this.
79
So that's one that I need to work on.
80
Another situation in which we need patience is when we're dealing with a difficult person.
81
We've all been there, we all know how this is, By the way, when I say that we've all been there,
82
what I'm saying is we've all been in this situation.
83
So we've all been there.
84
We've all had to deal with...
85
a difficult person in some situation or another,
86
and sometimes we can lose our cool and we can allow this situation or this person to
87
frustrate us to the point where we act differently, we don't do what we should do,
88
or maybe we talk in a way that isn't the best.
89
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about.
90
Sometimes we have to deal with difficult people,
91
and it's important to not let them bring us down to
92
the level where we're getting really mad for no good reason, right?
93
Sometimes we get angry at another person for a legitimate reason,
94
I'm not talking about being angry with a person because They've done some horrible thing.
95
They've committed some wicked crime or something like that.
96
That's not what I'm referring to.
97
I'm referring to situations where a person is just hard to deal with and you need to be patient with them.
98
So that can happen in the workplace, that can happen just in public,
99
at stores, with employees, at certain companies, in a lot of situations.
100
So dealing with these people
101
requires patience and it's good to act patiently in these situations because sometimes we are the difficult people.
102
Sometimes I am the difficult person or you are the difficult person and other
103
sometimes we need people to be patient with us.
104
So it goes both ways.
105
And another situation in which we need to be patient is listening to people.
106
You might not think of this as a situation that requires patience, but it does. Because...
107
People talk.
108
and we should try to listen.
109
And sometimes people talk
110
lot or their story that they're telling takes a long time and you can get bored or you can start to
111
get distracted or you can stop listening for example and we sometimes lose patience
112
when we have to listen to other people talk because Everybody loves to talk about what they want to talk about.
113
People like to be the ones to share things and talk about things,
114
but not everybody likes to listen.
115
And that's a more important skill, is being able to listen when other people talk to you.
116
And that's something that we should all try to improve on.
117
and make sure that we're patient and we are listening to people and we are genuinely caring
118
about what other people are saying, and if you do this,
119
if you demonstrate patience in this situation, you're gonna have better relationships.
120
People are gonna like you more.
121
You're gonna have fewer arguments, maybe.
122
The other person is gonna feel more cared about.
123
for example, and you'll have better communication overall.
124
So I think that we should all practice with just being able to
125
shut our mouths and listen to other people speak
126
and not just immediately try to talk and interrupt and say what we want to say.
127
We should let the other person finish before we start giving our opinion about something, for example.
128
language.
129
This is very relevant to all of you and to me because I'm a language learner.
130
Learning a language takes a long time.
131
I constantly get questions from people asking about their language learning process and usually they express frustration that
132
they aren't improving fast, or they feel stuck,
133
or they feel like their progress is not what they want it to be,
134
they feel like they have a problem,
135
they ask me questions, and they frame the question kind of like saying that there's something wrong with them.
136
Why Aren't I improving how I should be?
137
I have a problem with this.
138
What's wrong with me?
139
What should I be doing differently?
140
I constantly get questions like this and these are legitimate questions.
141
I'm not saying that these aren't good questions.
142
However, What I want to say is the vast majority of the time when people ask me this question,
143
it's not
144
like these people are studying in the complete way wrong way and they're wasting their time and they need to completely change
145
everything about their language learning routine.
146
It's not that.
147
Usually, They... are just...
148
advancing slowly and they don't realize it and they don't realize how long it takes to learn a language.
149
Okay, let me give you an example.
150
of my language learning process.
151
I've been speaking Spanish for over a decade.
152
not a year or a couple years, not five years, not eight years.
153
No. I've been speaking Spanish for over 10 years, over a decade now okay?
154
My wife is a Spanish speaker.
155
She only speaks to me in Spanish.
156
Okay?
157
I lived in Mexico for six years.
158
My whole life was in Spanish for six years, and yet Today, over 10 years later,
159
I'm still in the process of learning Spanish, not actively, I don't actively study Spanish.
160
However, I'm constantly learning new things, new words.
161
There are things that I don't understand.
162
There are things that I misunderstand.
163
There are things that I need people to repeat.
164
because I didn't get it and I make mistakes all the time.
165
All of this is what I deal with, and I've been speaking Spanish For over a decade,
166
I've lived in the country for many years.
167
My wife only speaks in Spanish to me, and yet, I'm still improving,
168
I still make mistakes, I still have an accent, I still don't sound anything like a native speaker,
169
etc. just know that learning a language takes a really long time,
170
in terms of getting to a very high level.
171
Of course, you can reach an intermediate level in a pretty short period of time, if you dedicate a lot of hours to it.
172
And you can even reach an advanced level in a relatively short period of time.
173
depending on your motivation and how many hours you're dedicating to it.
174
However, when your goal is to become really good Add a language. That is...
175
inevitably gonna take a long time.
176
When I say that something is inevitable, what I'm saying is that it's unavoidable.
177
So there's no way to avoid this.
178
If you want to reach a really high level in English, then that's going to take a really long time.
179
Okay?
180
That's just how it is.
181
We need to be patient.
182
And similarly, another situation in which we need to have patience is when we are trying to achieve a goal,
183
learning a language is one goal.
184
That's one example, but when we want to achieve any goal, we need patience.
185
If you want to lose weight, That's not gonna happen tomorrow, right?
186
You can't just expect that to happen in 24 hours.
187
You need to stick with it for a certain period of time before you actually see these results.
188
By the way, the phrase "stick with it" just means that you continue doing something.
189
So you need to stick with it and and be patient, and eventually you'll see results, but not overnight.
190
The word "overnight" refers to from one day to the next.
191
You're not going to see results in just one day.
192
you need to have a little more patience than that.
193
or if your goal is to learn some new skill.
194
Maybe you want to learn a programming language or something like that.
195
That's not going to happen overnight.
196
You need patience.
197
You need to accept that this is going to take some time and eventually you'll reach your goal right, if you stick with it.
198
But patience is necessary when we set goals and we want to achieve these goals.
199
And another situation that requires a lot of patience is when we're going through government processes.
200
This is probably the worst one.
201
For me, this is the thing that is the most frustrating and tests my patience the most.
202
When I am going through a government process,
203
and the government takes long time to do the process and respond to me or to do what they need to do.
204
this can be really frustrating.
205
I need to have more patience when it comes to this because this is inevitable.
206
We all deal with these processes.
207
We all live in countries that have governments that are not
208
efficient and not very well run and are not the best institutions with the best customer service and all of that.
209
All of us are in this situation, regardless of which country you live in.
210
So, we need to have patience and know that these processes are gonna take a while and
211
we can't do that much to influence this.
212
So when my wife was going through the immigration process to live in the US, this took a long time.
213
This took multiple years.
214
So this was something that required a lot of patience,
215
and at times it felt like it was never gonna end.
216
But of course, it did and we got through the process and everything is okay now.
217
But during that period, it was hard to have patience sometimes.
218
And that was something that really taught me to just wait and to not allow things
219
that I can't control to negatively impact my life and my daily life and my mood.
220
I needed to kind of not focus on this process and just live my life be patient, and wait.
221
So that was a big one.
222
And one more situation that I wanted to mention, probably the most important one,
223
the most important situation in which we need patience,
224
is when you are parenting, when you have kids.
225
When you have kids, your level of patience is tested in a way unlike anything else.
226
So you're dealing with small people,
227
humans, that have not learned to act properly, behave well, communicate effectively.
228
They don't know this yet.
229
They don't have these skills, especially at young ages.
230
So If you don't have patience, this is going to be very hard for you.
231
You're going to deal with a lot of situations in which you are annoyed or irritated or you feel desperate because
232
you know how something needs to be but your kid doesn't,
233
they don't know this, or they do the opposite,
234
or they do a lot of things that can possibly irritate us and affect our mood,
235
and they can cause us to lose our cool sometimes,
236
and we need to be careful with this and we need to exercise patience and to
237
really understand that kids need instruction and discipline and they need time.
238
They need time to learn these things and to learn how to behave properly,
239
learn how to communicate, learn how to all of this effectively.
240
So we can't expect them to just be born with these skills.
241
That's simply not reality and as a parent, patience is necessary.
242
You need to understand that these processes take a long time.
243
These kids will need a long time before they really learn all these lessons and
244
they can do things the way that you can do them as an adult.
245
So, For me, that's probably the most important situation in which patience is definitely required.
246
So, Those were some different situations, but there are plenty of others.
247
I hope this episode was interesting for you,
248
and hopefully it got you thinking a little bit about your patience levels,
249
and maybe it can inspire all of us to be a little more patient.

이 비디오로 영어 말하기 연습하는 이유
유튜브 영어 공부를 하면서 실제 대화 상황을 경험하고 싶다면 이 비디오가 최고의 선택입니다! 콘너가 자신의 일상과 감정을 자연스럽게 풀어내는 대화는 영어 쉐도잉 연습에 완벽한 소재입니다. 특히 "patience"라는 주제를 통해 일상에서 자주 사용하는 표현을 배우고, native speaker의 말투와 리듬을 체화할 수 있습니다. 쉐도잉(shadow speak) 연습을 하면 단기간에 발음과 유창성이 크게 향상되며, 실제 대화에서 당황하지 않는 자신감도 키울 수 있어요. 빠른 성과를 원한다면 지금부터 이 비디오로 shadowspeak 연습을 시작해보세요!
문맥 속 문법 & 표현 분석
이 비디오에서 자주 사용된 유용한 표현 3가지를 살펴봅시다:
- "room for improvement": "개선의 여지가 있다"는 뜻으로, 자신의 단점을 인정할 때 자연스럽게 사용됩니다. 예: "나는 인내력에 개선의 여지가 많아(There's room for improvement in my patience)."
- "bear with me": "잠시 기다려주세요" 또는 "참아주세요"라는 뜻으로, 상대방에게 양해를 구할 때 사용합니다. 콘너가 목소리가 약하다고 말할 때 "I appreciate you bearing with me"라고 했죠.
- "in this regard": "이 점에서" 또는 "이 면에서"라는 뜻으로, 이전에 이야기한 주제와 관련된 내용을 연결할 때 사용됩니다. 예: "그녀는 인내력이 뛰어나서 이 점에서 배우고 싶어(She's very patient, so I want to learn from her in this regard)."
발음 난관 지점
native speaker의 발음은 때로 헷갈릴 수 있지만, 주의해야 할 몇 가지 점을 알아두면 쉽게 넘길 수 있습니다:
- "agitated": /ˈædʒɪteɪtɪd/로 발음하며, "초조한"이라는 뜻입니다. 특히 "g"와 "t" 사이의 발음이 약하게 들릴 수 있으니 주의하세요.
- "patience": /ˈpeɪʃns/로 발음하며, "인내력"이라는 뜻입니다. 마지막 "ce"는 "션" 소리가 아니라 "스" 소리에 가깝게 발음됩니다.
- 연음 현상: "a little bit"은 /ə ˈlɪtl bɪt/가 아니라 /ə ˈlɪdl bɪt/로 발음되어 "리들 비트"처럼 들립니다. 이런 연음을 익히면 native speaker처럼 자연스러운 말투를 만들 수 있어요.
유튜브 영어 공부를 하면서 이 비디오를 반복해서 듣고 영어 쉐도잉 연습을 하면, 발음과 표현, 문법을 한 번에 익힐 수 있습니다. 작은 노력으로 큰 진전을 보는 비결은 바로 consistent practice! 지금부터 shadowspeaks 연습을 시작하고, 인내력을 키우면서 영어 실력을 향상시켜보세요!

|---|---|
| 현재완료진행 have/has been + -ing — 전에 시작해 지금도 계속되는 동작 | I've been speaking |
| 수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점 | are bothered · might be agitated · is tested |
| 현재완료 have/has + 과거분사 — 과거의 일이 지금도 관련이 있을 때 | They've done · They've committed · I've lived |
| 최상급 the -est / the most … — 집단에서 가장 높거나 낮은 것 | the most patient · the most frustrating · the worst |
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.
