And yttre motivation it's something externt.
28
Alltså, om jag gör det här,
29
då får jag någonting sen.
30
Jag får lön till exempel när jag jobbar.
31
Eller jag lagar mat länge och jag tycker inte att det är så kul till exempel.
32
Men jag får en god måltid som jag kan bjuda min familj eller mina vänner på.
33
Jag kanske tränar för att uppnå ett resultat.
34
and so don't like the same training.
35
I think it's hard to spring, for example.

But what a nice feeling it feels after.

I really like cycling.

I'm going to cycling long.

60
Your character will be long-term.
61
You want to find better control.
62
better weapon, better sword, and so on.
63
And so you go through a story,
64
while your character grows stark.
65
But it's not you, the player, who actually becomes better.
66
Or?
67
And if you compare it with a fighting game,
68
where you fight against each other,
69
Street Fighter, Super Smash Brothers, Tekken, for example.
70
There is a lot of motivation to have a lot of motivation.
71
To be able to be better.
72
These characters can't level up.

They can't be better.
74
You need to be better.
75
And I can lock a lot of it.
76
To train on something.
77
To be better.
78
It's exactly the same belated system in your brain that you're active when you learn something about a instrument
79
or a language, for example.
80
So just now you have a inner motivation that has made you try to do this episode.
81
I guess at all the majority of you who listen now have an inner motivation
82
that has made you to set up this episode for you want to be better at svenska.
83
For some of them, maybe it's an inner motivation in form of that you have moved to Sweden,
84
you have reached a country or a friend in Sweden,
85
and now it's important to learn the language.
86
And then there is an inner motivation,
87
That means that you want to talk.
88
So maybe you don't have to talk much about the same way.
89
And you can also create a positive motivation for yourself.
90
By setting up a goal.
91
For example, I want to read my first book on Swedish in the summer.
92
I want to read a whole book on Swedish.
93
I want to read specifically Harry Potter on Swedish.
94
Or something.
95
But it's also a little bit of a lot of motivation.
96
Alltså when it comes to training, for example.
97
Or to practice on a language.
98
If you decide to do this every day,
99
then you hold it a little while.
100
Because just when you decide it, you feel motivated.
101
But it's also a routine.
102
That's fine, right?
103
That's do this even in the days you don't feel motivated.
104
All right, to come out and spring even when it rains.
105
To set yourself and plug a little bit in the svensk,
106
even when it's been a long, intense day on job.
107
And this is just important if you have a deadline.
108
or any sort of goal.
109
But it doesn't need you to have.
110
I've been having all the deadlines since long when it comes to Japanese.
111
I'm learning Japanese.
112
And I'm not...
113
I'm not...
114
It's not.
115
It's no one waiting for me.
116
I'm taking it in my tempo.
117
And I'm looking at it.
118
All right, I'm going to plug it.
119
ешь also, when needed and I
120
I was motivated to go hard and really try to speak a lot of Japanese.

About This Lesson

This lesson focuses on the theme of motivation in everyday life, emphasizing the different types of motivation individuals may experience. By exploring both intrinsic (inner) and extrinsic (outer) motivation, learners will gain insights into what drives their actions and how to channel motivation effectively. You will engage with the transcript, practice pronunciation, and enhance your English speaking skills through targeted shadowing exercises. Additionally, this lesson provides an opportunity to reflect on your personal motivations, making it relevant to your own life experiences.

Key Vocabulary & Phrases

  • Motivation: The reason or reasons one has for acting or behaving in a particular way.
  • Intrinsic motivation: Motivation driven by internal rewards, such as personal satisfaction or enjoyment.
  • Extrinsic motivation: Motivation that comes from external factors, such as rewards or recognition.
  • Feel motivated: To have the desire or enthusiasm to do something.
  • Cycling: A personal activity that can provide both enjoyment and motivation.
  • Results: Outcomes achieved through effort, often serving as motivation.
  • Shadowing technique: A method of language practice where learners mimic spoken language to improve their skills.

Practice Tips

To make the most of this lesson, consider using the shadowing technique to enhance your English speaking skills effectively. Here are some specific tips for practicing with the transcript:

  • Start Slow: Begin by listening to the audio or watching the video at a slower speed. This allows you to catch every word and understand the context better.
  • Repeat & Imitate: After listening to a short segment, pause and repeat what you heard. Try to mimic the speaker's intonation and rhythm. This will help improve your fluency and pronunciation.
  • Focus on Emotion: Pay attention to the emotions behind the words. For example, when discussing motivation, notice the speaker's enthusiasm. Use that feeling in your own practice.
  • Interactive Practice: Use the vocabulary list to create your own sentences about motivation. Then, record yourself speaking them. Compare your pronunciation to the original to identify areas for improvement.
  • Daily Routine: Incorporate these practice methods into your daily routine. Regular practice will help solidify your learning and enhance your overall confidence in speaking English.

By following these tips, you can effectively use this lesson to boost your English speaking practice, particularly in preparation for exams like the IELTS, allowing for better articulation and understanding of complex topics.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
