1
If you want to improve your speaking then this is one of the most important videos
2
that I am going to make and that I have made.
3
So please watch this video if you want to improve your speaking.
4
Now the biggest problem when learning a language is your mother tongue, your first language.
5
It always gets in the way of learning your second language,
6
third language, fourth language so my number one tip and what i'm going to say to you is stop translating
7
stop translating your second language into english stop reading translations stop
8
listening to translations stop having your first language as subtitles this is hindering you or stopping you from actually learning English.
9
Now I'm going to explain.
10
Think about how did you learn your first language?
11
How did you learn your mother tongue?
12
How do babies learn?
13
Do they translate?
14
Does a baby have the word mummy,
15
madre, mammy, whatever your first language is written across their mum's chest.
16
Does it say mummy equals madre on their mummy's shirt?
17
No. How a baby learns is the mummy points to themselves and says mummy, mummy and the baby repeats.
18
There's no translation, there's no word.
19
It's listening and looking and pointing.
20
So if I was a mum I would say mummy.
21
Then if the dad was there you'd point to the dad
22
and say daddy doesn't say daddy as you can see i'm getting quite passionate
23
or angry it sounds like i'm getting angry about this situation
24
but i'm just very passionate that people are always translating in their head
25
or watching subtitles
26
or using translations it just doesn't work your brain is efficient it doesn't want to read a language that it doesn't know.
27
It wants to read its first language or listen to its first language or look at its first language.
28
Your brain naturally is going to pick the easiest option always.
29
It doesn't want to work hard or pick the difficult option.
30
Let me show you an example here.
31
Okay, here is my example.
32
This is the word book.
33
Your brain has already naturally and quickly picked out one word for book
34
which word is it it's your native language for me i'm going to look at this
35
and my brain or my eyes are instantly going to look at this at this word
36
if you are spanish your brain is going to read this word and so on this is your brain translating okay
37
what you actually want to do is look at a real book
38
and in reality these aren't even books this is not a
39
book okay none of these words mean book they're all made
40
up this is a book this is the only actual thing
41
that is a book or a libro or a lower
42
or a book
43
or a livre those are not real things those are made
44
up this is not made up this is real this is an object that's how you learn
45
another language you hear the word book
46
and you see a book you don't read libro you see okay same way a baby sees a toy
47
so if you're playing with a baby
48
and you have a toy i go oh look at the bear look at the bear the bear i don't go
49
this is not how you teach a baby bear oh bear oh let's look uh oh
50
so also bear oh look at that no you see the bear
51
and you point that's how you learn a language now obviously translations have a time
52
and a place they're not never needed like
53
if you have a paragraph in a native language
54
and you need to translate it to english then yes you need to be able to translate
55
but if you want to speak
56
because you know we live in modern society google translate exists you translate a written paragraph instantly
57
if you're writing and typing
58
and texting a friend from a different country you can translate it in about two seconds you don't need
59
to be able to read and write in another language now because you can just use the apps but speaking
60
no speaking is in real life you can't translate you can't
61
use subtitles in real life speaking is in the second you
62
don't have any time to start getting your google translate out
63
or getting your app out you want to connect with people in real life
64
so you need to stop translating if you want to improve your speaking
65
and i know most of you want to improve your speaking so stop using
66
stop watching videos who have your native language you need to only watch videos that are in english
67
or comprehensible input so my channel is comprehensible input i use pictures and gestures
68
and real life objects this is how you are going to
69
improve your english speaking okay now i also have started uh started using reels
70
and and shorts and tiktok videos so you can also follow my new instagram page
71
which is called handy english my new tiktok page
72
which is called handy english now these are my only instagram
73
and tiktok pages someone was impersonating me on tiktok so
74
if you see any other um videos of me on the internet
75
that are not english after hours or handy english on instagram
76
and tiktok it's not me please report them it's so creepy
77
and weird that people are literally stealing that is called theft
78
that is against the law to steal someone's videos
79
and pretend it's you so don't be a thief
80
and be an honest citizen in society watch my real channels
81

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
