Do you ever wish learning a language was faster?

Research shows that a simple writing habit could be the secret to help you unlock fluency.

I was pessimistic, but since starting, it's fixed problems in my Spanish I didn't even know I had.

So in this video, I'm going to show you exactly why it's so effective, the easy way to get started,

and how you can use AI to supercharge the process.

Let's start with the surprising benefits.

So to learn a language, you absolutely have to get a lot of exposure.

But that constant immersion can lead you to feeling a little bit overstimulated.

So after months of soaking up Spanish through YouTube, podcasts and reading, I wanted to slow down as well as improve my speaking.

And to be honest, I just wanted to spend less time staring at a screen.

The antidote I found was starting to journal every day.

Now, first off, I had never journaled in any language before.

So if you're thinking this isn't for me, I would have thought exactly the same but the benefits are incredible.

I started trying to fill a page with whatever random thoughts I had in Spanish.

You can take your time and try to find those words

that aren't always there at the tip of your tongue in a conversation

and pretty quickly I noticed that my speaking started getting better too.

So why is writing so effective?

Well first slowing down and actually thinking about what you want to say helps you to remember it better.

So in the research, there's a thing called depth of processing, which basically means the more you think about a language, the more it gets ingrained.

Instead of just recognizing words, you're actually pulling them out of your memory so that they're ready when you need them.

That extra effort reinforces your new language.

Writing also helps you connect new words to things you already know, something called elaborative rehearsal, which is known to boost learning.

All of those individual connections help us with storing new words and phrases as well as using them later on.

And I found just writing about my life, my thoughts, my feelings naturally reinforces new words as I try to use them in different contexts.

And on top of all of that, there's evidence that writing really can help your speaking.

So when writing, you're forced to find the words you need and put them together to convey whatever meaning you want.

That's exactly what you do when you speak and in fact speaking

and writing activate the same parts of your brain linked to language production.

Now it's an oversimplification to say they're exactly the same

but research shows that generally the same neural networks are involved proving how powerful writing is

and definitely from my own experience there have been words

and phrases that I've used when speaking with people

that I remembered much easier because I deliberately been trying to use them when I journal.

And on top of that, when you're writing, there isn't the same time pressure as a conversation.

So you can take your time and find the words you need to nail all the grammar.

So weirdly, writing will actually help you speak better.

And by the way, if you want a simple guide with prompts to get you started, I've created a free download,

which you can get with the code on screen or just use the link in the description.

So I break down the process and provide some simple things you can do to make the most of every session.

So before we look at the steps you can follow, there is a mindset shift that helped me get started and stay consistent.

So I'll be honest, writing and journaling never really interested me before.

On top of that, What do you write about?

What if you don't have anything to say?

Well, there were a couple of mindset shifts that really, really helped me.

The first is that journaling, or any kind of writing, it isn't a test.

You don't have to get everything perfect.

And in fact, making mistakes is actually a good thing.

That's how you learn.

So if you have that inbuilt perfectionism, think of writing as play you're experimenting and seeing what works for you.

If I'm not sure if something's right or not I just try it out just to find out.

I'd much rather stay in the flow instead of getting stuck looking up the exact way to say something.

So I put things down as best I can and when I get feedback I'll find out for next time.

So the whole point is

that you want to be able to express yourself freely in the language you're learning

and to do that you've got to try things out and see how it goes.

Over time you'll notice the progress you've made.

I've definitely had moments where I tried something one day

and then a few days later I remembered what I'd learned and put it into practice.

The other thing that is super important is that writing shouldn't feel like something that you have to do.

But if you actively engage with it you'll start to find it really interesting.

Like I won't always know what I think about something until I start getting my thoughts down.

And if you're anything like me, you're probably really busy and don't often have much time to stop and reflect about your plans or even experiences.

Honestly, I've ended up being my own unofficial therapist just by taking time to work through my thoughts on paper.

Now… You don't have to go that deep.

You might just want to talk about your plans for the weekend.

But once you start, you'll end up using all sorts of vocabulary

that might never come up in a chat with your tutor.

And so apart from helping you to learn a language, journaling can help you to manage your stress and help you process your own thoughts.

And remember, you can adjust this however you want.

Maybe instead of journaling, you're imagining you're writing a letter to a friend

or simply just getting some plans down on the page so that they're out of your head.

So avoid perfectionism and focus on what interests you.

With that in mind, let's look at how to get started.

So when I first started, honestly, I had no idea what to write.

I just wanted to give it a go.

But the more I did it, the easier it got.

And now I actually look forward to starting my day with a cup of tea whilst I journal.

So no matter what happens after that, I know I've already spent some quality time with my Spanish.

So if you want to try this yourself, remember that when creating a new habit, the key is to start small.

Short regular sessions are way better than the occasional brain dump.

Just build it up over time rather than feeling overwhelmed.

But looking at a blank page or note on your laptop can be daunting at first.

So here's a simple way to make it easier write the date at the top

and then with your first session set a timer for 15 minutes.

Jot down whatever you can.

It doesn't have to be perfect and you'll definitely make mistakes but that's the whole point.

It's in those moments where you learn and I'll talk about feedback in a minute.

When the timer is up finish your sentence and congratulate yourself on trying something new.

Of course you can write for longer if you want but starting small is a great way to go.

So Personally, I prefer to write by hand.

It is slower, but I like to avoid starting my day staring at a screen.

More than that though, there is some evidence

that writing by hand makes you process the language more deeply

and might actually help you in storing or reinforcing the new words and phrases.

And honestly, I just prefer it.

The tactile sensation of pen and paper just feels way more chilled for me

and there are no distractions like other browser tabs or whatever.

If you'd rather type though, that is totally fine.

100

Just be mindful that it will auto correct things for you.

101

Normally that's a good thing, but I want those little mistakes so I can learn say, I don't know, where an accent marker might go

102

or a particular spelling or conjugation because that helps me to notice and remember them.

103

It's your journey though and by keeping things digitally you can involve other tools

104

or if you're learning a language with say a different script like Chinese.

105

Do not be a hero.

106

Digital is probably the way to go.

107

You can always go analog down the line if you really want.

108

If you need a bit of inspiration there are a few prompts I can give you to get you started.

109

So try yesterday I or I would love to or recently I've been thinking about obviously write them in your target language.

110

I'll put some more prompts in the free download but you can write about your goals, your plans for the weekend,

111

or even where you see yourself in five years.

112

Honestly, I've been blown away by how powerful a pen and a piece of paper can be.

113

If you are more of a beginner, do not worry at all.

114

Keep the sessions short and write whatever you can.

115

So some simple prompts are something like, I'm studying French because I want to.

116

just lots of short simple sentences like

117

that will get you going just do your best you can also steal the hack

118

that I use to make those short sentences more natural

119

and flow better so actually

120

when I write I have a printout of connectors sitting in front of me things like on the other hand

121

so for example all in Spanish of course I try not to look at the sheet

122

but if I need a reminder I can quickly just glance over and add whatever I need.

123

I found I need this sheet less and less over time

124

but more than that I've started using the same phrases on conversations to sound a bit more polished.

125

And whilst we're talking about words try

126

and work with the ones you know of course

127

but it's totally fine to look up vocabulary if you need to

128

and that's actually a good thing as it will be words specific to you

129

and your life so you'll pick up new words and phrases that are super relevant for you.

130

DeepL, Google Translate, pretty much any AI are all absolutely fine for this.

131

Don't overthink it.

132

And if you want, you can underline the new words or put them in bold if you've gone digital.

133

It will make it clear which words you've looked up

134

and serves as a little reminder to try and use them again in the future.

135

So that is getting started.

136

Next, I'll show you a couple of simple steps you can add to journaling that will make it even more effective.

137

Yeah, yeah.

138

Okay so here is a simple system you can follow which I found super helpful.

139

I actually do a bit more than these steps these days but to keep things straightforward let's just stick to the basics.

140

This is how I got started and it really works.

141

So for me this is the first thing I do when I wake up in the morning.

142

Life happens and sometimes if you plan on doing it later, later might never come.

143

That said it does need to fit your routine so do what's best and works for you.

144

Now it's not mandatory but before I get started I make a cup of tea.

145

I am British and I cannot function without it.

146

I know it sounds silly but

147

if you associate writing with a comfortable familiar routine you're way more likely to stick with it.

148

Feeling relaxed will also let things flow more.

149

If you're stressed or anxious that's going to stop your brain firing up in the way that you want it to.

150

So as well as a cuppa I also have some water to hand to keep hydrated

151

and keep my brain firing on all cylinders

152

and then it's time to sit down and start writing

153

so at the minute i aim for about two pages a day in an a5 notebook

154

so you can do more if you want

155

but i found just a couple of pages gives me enough time for the steps

156

that come later so literally write whatever comes to mind but

157

if you're stuck you can use those prompts you can download

158

if you need a hand to get started

159

and you can write for as long as you want if you're just starting out keep it short and fun,

160

this should not feel like a chore.

161

That way you'll come back to it the next day and that consistent habit is how you make progress.

162

Next, this is something that I've added recently but it's actually really useful.

163

Once you've finished writing, go back and reread what you've written and correct any mistakes that you notice.

164

The idea being that recognising those small mistakes you make reinforces the correct way of writing it for the future.

165

Now, the next step is amazing if you write by hand.

166

If you've done it digitally, it is even more straightforward.

167

So I use ChatGPT and I take a photo of what I've written.

168

I then give it the prompt, transcribe the writing on these pages, give me detailed corrections and tell me what my level is today.

169

If you're writing on a device, it's even easier.

170

Just copy and paste your text and ask for feedback.

171

Now, it's not perfect at reading handwriting, but it is surprisingly good.

172

I do try

173

and write a little bit neater though sometimes I do have to give it a correction here

174

or there but the fact that it can do it at all is absolutely mind -blowing

175

so chat gpt will give me the feedback

176

which I'll then have a read through

177

and then I take my trusty red pen

178

and I go through making all of those corrections on the page by doing

179

it in a different color it makes what I need to work on super obvious for next time

180

and remember this isn't a test this is you getting better

181

so here's your challenge start a writing habit in your target

182

language let me know how you get on down in the comments below

183

and then next

184

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.
