1
In this video, I am going to help you take a very important step towards speaking English fluently.
2
So watch this video carefully until the end.
3
My name is Matty and welcome to this Slow English podcast.
4
Let me ask you a question.
5
When you are alone with yourself and you are quiet and you are thinking.
6
You hear an inner voice.
7
That inner voice, what language does it speak?
8
Think about it.
9
You're alone, you're thinking, and you hear that inner voice.
10
I would say that is in your mother tongue.
11
If you're from Italy, you hear that in Italian.
12
If you're from China, you hear that in Chinese.
13
If you can shift that inner voice from your mother tongue to English, you will become fluent.
14
I am guaranteeing this.
15
This is my promise to you.
16
So in this video, we're going to figure out how to do that.
17
First, let's understand why it happens.
18
Let me paint you a little picture here.
19
Here's your brain and this is your mother tongue and next to it is English.
20
When you want to say something or when you want to think about something, when you want to express yourself,
21
your brain reaches out to whichever is closest of the two.
22
Which is closer to your brain now?
23
It's your mother tongue.
24
so your brain reaches to your mother tongue and then your mother tongue reaches to english
25
between english and your mother tongue something important happens it is called translation
26
because from your mother tongue you get
27
that idea you have to translate to english from english you have to get it back to your mother tongue
28
and your brain will then understand it so each time you want to say something or you want to understand something
29
your brain reaches to your mother tongue your mother tongue reaches to english translation happens
30
and then it reaches to your brain translation in itself is the biggest blocker of fluency
31
because translation inherently involves delay when your brain starts translating something there is a delay right
32
because it has to go from one language to another
33
and then from another language to another there there's this exchange and the exchange creates delay when you are speaking
34
if you want to be fluent what you need to do is to eliminate
35
that delay that delay kills your fluency and
36
that delay is caused by translation so you need to destroy
37
that step how
38
if from this diagram you take out the mother tongue your brain will have to directly reach English
39
and when it directly reaches English whenever there's an idea
40
that idea goes
41
and instead of going to your mother tongue it goes to
42
English directly you have basically eliminated the step of going to your mother tongue
43
and then translating to English you have eliminated that it's easier said than done meaning it's easy to say,
44
hey guys, the solution is to think in English.
45
Do you want to be fluent?
46
Then think in English.
47
Goodbye.
48
It's easy to say that.
49
But how can you actually do it?
50
There are a couple of factors and a couple of things to do.
51
So listen closely.
52
Here's the first thing.
53
In your head, quietly name things around you in English.
54
Oh, that's a vase.
55
Flowers.
56
Picture frames.
57
A microphone.
58
Camera.
59
Notebook.
60
A cell phone.
61
A pen with three colors.
62
Blue, black, red, a room, chairs, table, kitchen, living room,
63
windows, name things in English, right in your head, name everything around you in English.
64
You go out, you're sitting in the bus stop, waiting for the bus, look around you, name things in English in your head.
65
This is the first step, this is the easy step.
66
And this is what I did when I was growing up.
67
You know, I'm a non-native English speaker.
68
I learned English from scratch, from zero.
69
And one of the things that really helped me was naming items around me, naming things around me in English.
70
The second thing I want you to do, this helped me a lot, narrate your daily life.
71
Again, in your head and silently. So you're doing something.
72
Okay, look, I'm sitting on a chair.
73
There's a microphone in front of me.
74
I'm recording a video, and this video is going to go on YouTube.
75
A lot of people are going to watch it.
76
I want people to learn something from this video.
77
Ah, this morning I had coffee.
78
That was good.
79
Maybe it is time for my second coffee.
80
Yeah.
81
Let me look to my left.
82
What was on my right again?
83
Narrate your life.
84
As you are doing different things, if you're at work, if you're at home, if you're at the bus stop, if you are at school, in university,
85
as you are doing different things narrate it in English force
86
yourself to narrate them in English um it's gonna help you a lot it is gonna help you a lot
87
because this is the next step right first you name items around you now
88
that you know the names of the items around you in
89
English you're going to narrate let me move this vase closer to myself oops now that's too close
90
good you see I know the name
91
and now I'm narrating what I'm doing this is step two
92
and you know
93
when I think about how I learned English you know I'm a deeply introverted person I'm very shy
94
and growing up I didn't have many friends I used to spend most of my time alone
95
and I had this imaginary friend whose name was Eminem.
96
I loved him.
97
I used to listen to his music a lot.
98
And I would imagine that he's sitting next to me and I'm talking to him.
99
And when you want to talk to Eminem, my imaginary friend, he only speaks English.
100
He only understands English.
101
So I had to speak in English with him.
102
And I didn't want others to understand that I am crazy imagining Eminem sitting here.
103
So I would imagine those situations, those scenarios in my head, and I would speak with him in my head.
104
Hey, Em, what's up?
105
Do you like my bedroom?
106
So I used to think and narrate my life a lot with my imaginary friend.
107
And I really advise you guys to do that too.
108
Here's another step, very important.
109
When you want to learn a new word, when you want to look up something new in a dictionary
110
or as chat GPT something always do that in English
111
and here's why if you are learning a new word
112
and you don't know what it means and you look up in the dictionary
113
if you do it in your mother tongue you are bringing back
114
that translation step remember the whole point is to eliminate
115
that the whole point is to throw that away so you are not going to learn the meaning of a word
116
in your mother tongue, what you are going to do is to learn the meaning in English.
117
Use an English to English dictionary.
118
Cambridge dictionary is the best.
119
Use it.
120
You can use the online version.
121
Go to CambridgeDictionary.com, I think, .org maybe.
122
Google Cambridge dictionary.
123
You will see the website.
124
Use Cambridge online dictionary English to English and always look for the meaning of words in English.
125
And this is quite important because you know something
126
that has ruined the whole learning process for a lot of us is the school system.
127
Schools follow a very very traditional method called grammar translation method, GTM.
128
The grammar translation method is this, it's very Very simple.
129
Teach grammar, teach words, then translate sentences from mother tongue to English and from English to the mother tongue.
130
That's how schools teach English.
131
And, you know, with the same method, a lot of people spend six or seven years at school learning English grammar translation.
132
The only thing it does is it forces your brain to think in your mother tongue and then translate.
133
That translation is the reason people who studied English at school or people who even studied English at university, they are not able to speak fluently.
134
The correct method is a conversational method.
135
You teach people how to have conversations in English.
136
And the first step in this method is to think in English.
137
Right.
138
So what I want you to do is never, ever, ever write anything in your mother tongue.
139
Always look for a word or a sentence or a phrase in English and write down the English meaning.
140
That's a very important step.
141
Next, talk to yourself a lot.
142
Now, here's the thing.
143
When I was learning English, I remember for a long time I had a teacher.
144
And that teacher was never teaching us the book.
145
students a lot of students a lot of classmates we had
146
back then they were angry parents were really angry they were furious the school they hated this teacher
147
but I loved him
148
and I think he was the most influential person in my
149
entire learning journey he did one thing he taught us how to be crazy
150
and he said if he wants to speak fluently you need to be crazy And what he meant was on the street,
151
at home, at work, talk to yourself out loud in English.
152
And if you think about it, if you see someone on the street who's talking to himself, yeah, look at that, nice weather.
153
Oh, the supermarket.
154
Look at that guy.
155
You would say that person is crazy.
156
But this method really works.
157
And I'm not telling you to go out there and be crazy in front of people and embarrass yourself.
158
What I'm telling you is try to find situations in
159
which you can talk to yourself freely without people laughing at you or pointing at you.
160
I mean, if you are brave enough, go ahead and speak to yourself on the street.
161
But if you are introverted like me, go to your room, close the door and speak with yourself out loud.
162
Go stand in front of the mirror and speak with yourself out loud.
163
Imagine different scenarios.
164
Talk to yourself.
165
Now you see this is the natural progression of the previous steps.
166
First you think in your head and name the items.
167
Second you narrate what you were doing in your head quietly.
168
Now what you're doing is you were saying that out loud.
169
You're using your speaking muscles
170
and now pronunciation is coming into play because
171
when you're just doing it in your head there's no pronunciation there's no enunciation
172
when you are actually saying the words when you're actually saying the sentences pronunciation
173
and movement of your tongue they all come into play
174
so it's a very important step and last
175
but not least before I say this one
176

done okay back to the lesson here's the last one it's a very important one very interesting one
181
immerse yourself what do i mean english
182
and not just english any new thing you want to learn
183
is think of it as this it's a muscle in your
184
head a part of your brain is creating new links
185
and new connections and those links initially are very very thin and narrow they're tiny you have to make them thick?
186
Now think of it like this.
187
My biceps are very, very tiny, right?
188
They're huge?
189
No, they're tiny.
190
What is the way in
191
which i can make them thick i need to lift weights
192
a lot how many times a lot for how long forever
193
right the more i do it the stronger it becomes the same thing is with
194
that links with those links in your head you want to
195
make they're very thin now you want to make them thick
196
you need to use them a lot a good way to
197
use them a lot is to immerse yourself in english everything around you should be in english
198
now if you are living in an english-speaking country as an immigrant that's a very good step
199
if you are not in that position here's what i would recommend pursue your hobbies in english
200
I had a student who was a big Chelsea fan.
201
He was following the news in English.
202
He was following the players' Instagram accounts, and that was his hobby.
203
And he was really fluent when it came to English speaking.
204
Another student of mine was a movie fan.
205
He used to watch a lot of movies.
206
Myself, I was a fan of rap music, Eminem in particular, and I used to listen to him a lot.
207
pursue your hobbies in English.
208
That's number one.
209
The second thing, a very interesting trick, a very interesting tactic I used.
210
Back then, I had a very simple mobile phone, very simple cell phone, and no cameras, nothing.
211
It was a very simple, very basic phone.
212
And the language of that phone was in my mother tongue.
213
It was set to my mother tongue.
214
What I did was I wanted to challenge myself.
215
So I changed the language to English.
216
Whenever I went on my phone, whenever I took my phone and opened it, everything was in English.
217
And initially I was so confused, but little by little I learned my way around it.
218
I learned a lot of new words.
219
I used to go to settings and read everything.
220
It was a nice trick.
221
And then later on when I had my first computer, what I did was But I immediately changed the language of the computer from my mother tongue to English.
222
So each time I use my laptop, each time I use my computer, I opened it, everything was in English and I was really confused.
223
I was really confused.
224
All the error messages, everything, they were in English and I was really confused.
225
But little by little, I learned a lot just from these two things.
226
Look around you right now.
227
Look at the different things you do in your daily routine.
228
See which ones you can do in English.
229
If you are the kind of person who likes reading books, see if you can read books in English, the books that you like.
230
If you are the kind of person who watches movies, if you are using the, sorry, if you are watching dubbed movies in your mother tongue,
231
change it to English with subtitles.
232
And little by little, change the subtitles to English as well.
233
about different things you do and then think about how you can do them in English.
234
Immerse yourself in this language and you will see the result.
235
And that's it guys.
236
It is not going to happen overnight.
237
I did all the five.
238
I'm still thinking in my mother tongue or my inner voice is still in English.
239
Of course, it's not going to happen overnight.
240
It will happen naturally.
241
It will come to you naturally once you follow all these steps
242
and they're not really time consuming these are easy things you
243
can do you're already doing them in your mother tongue just change it to english
244
looking around naming items in english is very easy it's not going to take you any time
245
because every day your eyes are open and you're looking around just name the items in english in your head
246
narrating your life is very easy you are already doing all those things you are already making coffee, making tea, calling someone.
247
Do them narrate your life.
248
Say what you're doing in English.
249
Speak to yourself.
250
Close the door.
251
You're thinking, say that out loud in English.
252
It's not going to take any time.
253
You're already doing all of these.
254
I'm just asking you to do them in English and you will see the result.
255
Because once that inner voice of yours turns to English, you will speak fluently, guaranteed, 100%.
256
I hope you've enjoyed this lesson.
257
See you soon with the next one.
258
Bye.

- 자신의 목소리를 녹음해 원본과 비교하고, narrate, dictionary, translate 같은 단어에 특히 주의합니다.
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.
