Prática de Shadowing: A1 English Listening - Why Learn English? - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo

Hey English learners, welcome to this A1 English listening practice video.

Today let's talk about some different reasons why people learn English.

There are many reasons to learn English.

You probably have one or two or maybe more reasons why you're learning English.

English.

I want to talk about different reasons to learn English today because this is important.

It's important to have a good reason to learn because when you have a good reason,

it helps keep you focused on your learning,

it helps you continue to learn and not give up, and it motivates you.

It gives you the motivation you need to learn English.

So that's what we're going to talk about today.

And before we do that,

I want to remind you that if you need my help to understand native English speakers when they speak fast,

then make sure to join my membership

so you can watch my listening practice seminars in which I help you understand fast English.

So that link is down below.

Alright, let's talk about some different reasons why people learn English.

The first one I want to talk about is entertainment.

Many people want to learn English because they like English language entertainment.

Maybe they like watching TV, TV shows or TV series in English.

Maybe they like watching American movies, for example.

Or perhaps they really like music and they want to listen to music in English.

Or maybe they're interested in video games

and they want to talk to other people while they're playing video games and they need to talk in English.

So entertainment can be a really good motivator for people to learn English.

And it can also be really effective as well.

Because when you enjoy something, you do it more, right?

When you like doing something, it's not that hard for you to do it.

You enjoy it, so you do it easily.

And when you enjoy doing something,

you focus more on it when you do it, right?

And also you learn more when you enjoy something, when it's entertaining to you.

You focus more and learn more.

You probably remember more from what you watch or hear.

So, I know people who have accidentally learned a language,

maybe not fluently, but they've learned some language to a good level,

maybe, because they're so interested in the entertainment from some country.

Like, for example, they might really like Korean dramas.

And so they watch so many Korean dramas and eventually they start to understand Korean.

I've heard of this before.

Or maybe they're really interested in Japanese anime,

and they watch so much anime that eventually they start to understand Japanese.

Maybe they can't speak it, but they can already understand a lot.

This is pretty crazy because these people might not even care about the language of that drama or that anime,

but they're so interested in that entertainment that they learn the language.

That's pretty cool.

So many people can learn English because they want to watch things in English

or listen to things in English or maybe they get good at English because they like playing video games.

This is common.

So this can be a good reason to learn English.

I'm not saying that this is the best reason to play video games,

but I'm saying that many people learn English because of this reason.

So that's one thing.

Another reason why many people want to learn English is because they like traveling.

Learning English makes traveling easier.

So when you travel to an English-speaking country and you can speak English,

this makes things a lot easier.

This makes things simpler and even if

If you're traveling to a country where the people don't speak English as a native language,

many people probably speak English as a second language.

So you can also use English a lot when you travel to countries that aren't the US or the UK.

If you travel to other European countries perhaps you'll probably be able to speak English with many people there.

So that can really help you when you travel.

It can help you communicate with local people,

maybe read signs or websites or

whatever you need when you're traveling or you're planning a trip.

So that can help.

And you can also make friends when you're traveling.

I've known people that have made friends

when they travel to other countries because maybe they take a tour

and in that tour group they speak English to the other tourists who are taking

that tour so that can help them make friends with other tourists or they can make friends with locals as well.

So learning English can make traveling easier and funner, right?

That's another good reason to learn English.

Another reason why people might learn English is because of their career.

This is a very common reason.

Maybe you're learning English to help you in your career.

So if you can speak English,

maybe you can work with international clients or customers.

Maybe you can work in an international company

and you need English because your co-workers speak English

or maybe if you speak English you'll have more opportunities in your work

or maybe you'll have the opportunity to work abroad work in another country

so there are many opportunities that that you can have if you speak English.

And also for academics, for school, right, university.

Knowing English can be very helpful because it can help you research things in English.

internet is full of information in English.

So if you can speak English,

you have a lot of information that you can use when you are doing different types of of school,

work, when you're writing things for your university, etc. Right?

You have a lot of information that you can use when you speak English.

If this is your reason for learning English,

you want to have more career opportunities,

or it helps you in your academics, your school.

This is great, but you should still have a reason that's more personal.

You don't want to only learn English because you have to,

because your boss makes you learn English or your school makes you learn English.

It's also good to have a personal reason why you want to learn.

Not because you have to learn, but because you want to learn.

100

If you have a more personal reason, it will help you be more motivated.

101

So one more reason why some people learn English is because of love.

102

Because they fall in love with someone who speaks English.

103

If you meet someone who speaks English and they don't speak your language,

104

this is the greatest motivation to learn English.

105

Because you love this person and you need to communicate with them.

106

And you can only do this in English.

107

This is a great motivator.

108

This is probably the top reason.

109

The reason that gives you the most motivation.

110

So I know this from experience.

111

I learned Spanish because of love.

112

Because I I fell in love with someone who speaks that language.

113

So this was the best motivator.

114

This gave me the most motivation to learn.

115

So most of you won't do this,

116

but it's a good lesson for you to know this.

117

Even if you don't do this,

118

it's good to know this because it shows you how important it is to have a good

119

personal reason to learn a language.

120

When you have this, it makes learning English much easier.

121

You want to do it.

122

You spend more time doing it.

123

It becomes easier to do the necessary things to learn English.

124

So even if you don't fall in love with someone who speaks English,

125

you should still find a good personal reason to learn.

126

Okay?

O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
