Is it difficult to learn English with comprehensible input?

Well, yes and no. The method itself is easy.

The act of sitting down and watching a video is easy.

It's easy to sit down in front of a computer or on your phone and watch something that you understand

and watch something that you're interested in.

This part is easy in theory.

The actual act of getting input is easy when the input is interesting

and the input is understandable

and a lot of people talk about comprehensible input as being the lazy method

and it's because of what I've just said

and the act of watching videos in of itself is easy

but I wanted to talk about the challenges of learning English with comprehensible input

because it is also difficult it does come with a lot of challenges

that not a lot of people talk about so

when you say is learning English with comprehensible input difficult it is there are a lot of challenges

that come with learning English with comprehensible input and the reason

that I know this is because I'm learning Spanish with comprehensible input

and I've come across a lot of challenges when improving my Spanish

and the first one is finding enough time

because it takes a long time to learn english

or to learn spanish with comprehensible input

and for me learning spanish i watch spanish for two hours every day

and the quicker

that you want to become fluent in any language the more input you need to get

so it is a challenge to find enough time in the day to progress at a quick rate

so that's a massive challenge right is because if you're a busy person

and you're an adult and you have responsibilities and you have other things

that you enjoy finding enough time to listen to enough english to really improve is a challenge

and that is something that I found learning Spanish and not only that but

when you learn with comprehensible input you need to pay attention you need to focus on what it is

that you're watching and it's hard enough to find two hours in a day

and I'm not saying that you need to do two hours a day

but it's difficult enough to find any sort of time in your day

and it's even more difficult to block out any distractions

because you need to pay attention

you need to not be thinking about what am I going

to cook for dinner tonight not thinking about what we're going to do at the weekend.

Me today, I don't want to be thinking about England in the World Cup.

We lost to Argentina yesterday.

When I'm watching Spanish, I just need to be focused on the Spanish and that is such a challenge.

It's one thing to find time to watch a video it's another thing to be able to completely focus

and have your full attention on the video now

that is what is required

if you want to learn quickly I'm not saying you have to be perfect

but you should be paying as much attention as you can and that is a real difficulty that is a challenge

Another challenge is that it can be difficult to find the right content

because I always talk about how content needs to be interesting

and it also needs to be understandable

and it can be very hard to find the right balance

and find content that is easy to understand

but also interesting enough to keep you engaged to keep you having your attention on what you're watching

and this is particularly this is especially a challenge

when you're at lower levels once you reach a more advanced level

and you can watch more native English content there is far more content for you to be able to watch

so it does get easier but in those

intermediate beginner stages it can be difficult to find something

that is interesting that you can understand and

that is part of why I started my channel is

so it's because I want to create this type of content for intermediate level learners now for me learning Spanish

this has been less of a problem I use a platform called dreaming Spanish

and if you're learning Spanish I highly recommend it

because they have lots and lots of videos at different difficulties about different topics

but even I

because I'm listening like I said to two hours a day even I sometimes struggle to find content

that is at the right level for me so that is another a really big challenge about learning only with comprehensible input.

Another challenge is staying motivated because learning English or learning any language is such a big project.

It takes such a long time and motivation, it comes and goes.

You're not going to wake up every day with a really high level of motivation to learn English

so you have to overcome not having this motivation

now a lot of people talk about the importance of discipline saying

that motivation comes and goes but discipline is what will keep you going

when you don't have motivation and I agree with this generally

but I actually think the reality is you're not going to be super disciplined every day.

Motivation comes and goes, sure, but so does discipline because we're not perfect.

You're not going to be massively disciplined every day.

So what I think is really important in overcoming this challenge

and overcoming a lack of motivation and a lack of discipline is building habits

because when something is a habit it's automatic right you don't need motivation

and you don't need discipline so

if you have the habit of watching English every day like for example

when I go for a walk that is just something I do

and I put in headphones

and I listen to Spanish it's automatic it happens naturally it's actually harder sometimes for me to not listen to Spanish

so building habits I think is really important

and I'm actually planning to film a video I don't know

if the video will be released after this one or before

but I want to make a video on how you can make English a habit

because I think that is really important in helping you to overcome

the challenge of not always being or feeling the most motivated or the most disciplined.

A challenge that I sometimes find quite difficult about learning Spanish

and something that you might have or you might feel

if you learn English is it can sometimes be quite intimidating how far

you still have to go on your journey

because it like I said before it takes

so long to learn a language and sometimes especially

if you don't have the habits

and you're having to motivate yourself it can feel like what's the point right

because it's such a big challenge it's

so far away this idea of being able to speak

100

and have conversations with people in English

101

and it's how I feel about Spanish it's such a big challenge to try to forget about all of

102

that and i think for me this i normally feel this way

103

if i've had a break right so if i've been on holiday

104

and i haven't been listening to spanish it can be hard to start up again it can be hard

105

to get back into the rhythm that i had before i was away

106

and for that reason it's really important for Spanish

107

or English in your case to be a habit

108

so you don't have too much of a focus on the end goal

109

and you're just focused on what you need to do.

110

today and if you keep doing that every day you will eventually reach a very high level and

111

the actual act of listening to english is easy like i said you just need to

112

not let yourself get too discouraged

113

or too disheartened by how far you feel like you have to go

114

and there's a really good quote

115

that i read recently by an nfl player an american football player called max crosby

116

and he says during his day 95 is spent under the microscope

117

and the micro a microscope is something

118

that you use to see very small things to zoom in on very small things

119

and the other five percent is with the telescope

120

which is what you use to look at stars

121

and look at the moon and I love this quote

122

because he's basically saying you shouldn't spend

123

that much time thinking about your big goal right you shouldn't be thinking about

124

when you're going to be able to speak English

125

when you're going to be fluent you should only think about

126

that every now and then

127

but most of your day should be under the microscope thinking

128

what can I do today what small thing can I do today

129

that is going to move me closer towards my end goal

130

which might be being conversational in English

131

and it's something I always try to remember not just in Spanish in all of my goals

132

because it can feel intimidating when you think about how far you have to go

133

and it really helps to just focus on what am I

134

going to do today to move me a little bit closer to my goal

135

and if you keep doing that keep repeating that you will eventually arrive at your goal.

136

I think I've been speaking for a while now so I'm going to close.

137

I think that is about everything that I can think of that is difficult about learning English but remember getting input,

138

being sat in front of the TV or YouTube, watching something, that's the easy part and

139

if you can figure out a way to get yourself doing

140

that more often you will reach a high level in English

141

so thank you for watching and I will see you in the next one

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.
