Hello and welcome to this video.
2
Today we're going to talk about something very important in life.
3
It is about learning to say, I can do it.
4
This small sentence is very powerful.
5
It can change how we feel and how we act.
6
When we believe we can do something, we try harder.
7
We do not give up easily.
8
We become more confident and strong.
9
But sometimes it is hard to say these words.
10
Maybe we are afraid.
11
Maybe we have failed before.
12
Or maybe someone told us we are not good enough.
13
These things can make us doubt ourselves.
14
They can stop us from trying new things.
15
But the truth is, everyone has the power to learn, grow, and succeed.
16
Saying, I can do it, is the first step.
17
When you say, I can do it, you are telling your mind to believe.
18
You are giving yourself a chance.
19
You are opening the door to something new.
20
Maybe you want to speak English better.
21
Maybe you want to try a new sport.
22
Maybe you want to make new friends.
23
Whatever it is, the first step is to say, I can do it.
24
This helps you start.
25
It gives you the courage to take action.
26
It helps you move forward.
27
When you say, I can't, you stop yourself.
28
But when you say, I can, you give yourself hope.
29
Let's think about a child learning to walk.
30
At first, the child falls many times.
31
But they do not stop.
32
They keep trying.
33
And one day, they walk.
34
Because they believe they can.
35
They do not think about failing.
36
They just try again and again.
37
This is how we all learn.
38
We try, we fall, we get up, and we try again.
39
That is why saying, I can do it, is so important.
40
It helps us to keep going.
41
It helps us to believe in ourselves.
42
Sometimes, people are afraid to fail.
43
But failure is not the end.
44
Failure is part of learning.
45
Every time we fail, we learn something new
46
We get better
47
We grow stronger
48
If we are too afraid to try, we miss the chance to succeed
49
That is why we must learn to say, I can do it
50
Even when we are afraid
51
Confidence is not something we are born with It is something we build and we build it by trying,
52
learning, and believing.
53
When you try something new and do it well, you feel proud, you feel good, you feel stronger.
54
And next time, it is easier to say, I can do it because you have done it before.
55
Think about a time when you did something hard.
56
Maybe it was your first day at a new school.
57
Maybe it was learning how to ride a bike.
58
Maybe it was talking in front of a group.
59
At first, you were nervous.
60
But you did it.
61
And after that, you knew you could do more.
62
This is how confidence grows.
63
One small step at a time.
64
One success at a time.
65
And it all begins with the belief that you can.
66
Sometimes we need to talk to ourselves in a kind way.
67
We need to say, it's okay I am learning I will get better
68
These words help us feel calm
69
They help us try again
70
If we are too hard on ourselves, we feel bad
71
We want to stop
72
So, be kind to yourself
73
Speak to yourself like you would speak to a good friend
74
Support yourself Encourage yourself
75
Say, you are trying your best.
76
Keep going.
77
You can do it.
78
These words matter.
79
They can change how we feel.
80
They can change what we do.
81
Let's also remember that everyone learns at their own speed.
82
Some people learn fast.
83
Some people need more time.
84
And that is okay.
85
You do not have to be perfect.
86
You just have to try.
87
Every time you try, you grow.
88
Every time you say, I can do it, you take one more step forward.
89
It is okay to make mistakes.
90
Mistakes are part of the journey.
91
They help us learn what to do better next time.
92
So, do not be afraid to make mistakes
93
Be proud that you are trying
94
That is brave
95
That is strong
96
Imagine you want to learn to swim
97
At first, it feels scary
98
The water is deep
99
You do not know how to move
100
But if you say, I can do it
101
You give yourself power
102
You take small steps
103
Maybe you just put your feet in the water.
104
Then you move a little more.
105
And one day you are swimming.
106
This is how learning works.
107
You begin with a small step.
108
You say, I can do it.
109
And you keep trying.
110
One day, you see that you have come far.
111
You have learned something new.
112
You feel proud.
113
You feel happy all because you believed in yourself.
114
It is also important to have people who support you.
115
Friends, family, or teachers can help you.
116
When they say, you can do it, it feels good.
117
It gives you more power.
118
But the most important voice is your own.
119
You must say it to yourself.
120
You must believe it because you are the one who takes the steps.
121
You are the one who does the work.
122
You are the one who grows.
123
So be your own cheerleader.
124
Be your own support.
125
Keep saying, I can do it.
126
And then do it.
127
Take action.
128
Try.
129
Practice.
130
Learn.
131
Grow.
132
You are stronger than you think.
133
You are smarter than you believe.
134
You are more able than you feel.
135
You just need to try.
136
If something is hard today, that's okay.
137
It will get easier.
138
Every day is a new chance.
139
A new chance to say, I can do it.
140
A new chance to try.
141
A new chance to learn.
142
Every day is a step on your journey.
143
Sometimes the journey is slow.
144
Sometimes it is fast but what matters is that you keep going.
145
What matters is that you do not give up.
146
Every time you say, I can do it, you are building a better future for yourself.
147
A future where you are not afraid.
148
A future where you try new things.
149
A future where you believe in your own strength.
150
That is a beautiful future
151
And it starts now
152
So take a deep breath
153
Think about something you want to do
154
Something that feels a little hard
155
Something you have not tried yet Now say I can do it
156
Say it again
157
Say it until you believe it
158
Now take a small step
159
Try one thing
160
Just one It does not have to be perfect
161
It just has to be real.
162
And then take another step. And another.
163
Before you know it, you are moving forward.
164
You are growing.
165
You are becoming stronger.
166
You are doing it.
167
And that is amazing.
168
Always remember that you can do more than you think.
169
You can learn.
170
You can grow.
171
You can try.
172
You can succeed.
173
All it takes is the first step.
174
All it takes is one small voice inside you saying, I can do it.
175
And that voice can become louder.
176
It can become stronger.
177
It can guide you every day.
178
So whenever you feel unsure, say the words again, I can do it.
179
Because you can.
180
And your journey is just beginning.
181

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.
