Hello and welcome back to my Slow English podcast.

Today I have a special guest, Olivia.

Hi!

Olivia or Johan.

But Olivia learned English in just three years.

Three years ago, she didn't speak any English at all.

So, today we're going to have an interview to talk about how she did it,

what her struggles were, and why she learned English.

I think that my audience would love to know if you have any tips,

anything that got you through the hardest part of starting to speak English, which is speaking.

Any tips on memorizing vocabulary, on starting to speak, on starting to build and structure sentences?

Is there anything you could tell them about?

Yeah, definitely, I have so many things to talk.

Because I also teach Chinese, so I know how the process goes for learning language. So basically,

the very useful tip I told you before is like you put a sticker on the things for memorizing the words.

For example, this is a cup, so you put the sticker on it, it says cup.

So every time you saw it, you know it's a cup.

So at that time, the first time I went to the US, in my room is full of stickers.

For example, window, I will put window and couch,

I will put couch, stove everything everything i can see in my eyes right i will wrote it

and i will write it and i will you know just help myself to remember

so every time when i'm trying to say okay i'm gonna cook today

so i'm gonna use the stove i'm gonna use uh the boss i'm gonna use a fork

and everything it's for daily life

because this is how you get around how you start to

you know understand like the daily life works for the basic

vocabulary yeah just start saying a sentence out loud for example i remember

when i first met you um i told you that i speak a little bit of chinese

and i tried to say one sentence in chinese

but i couldn't say anything and i had been studying chinese for years

but i still couldn't think of one thing to say

because i didn't know how to say window or table or cup or anything basic that was around me.

So I immediately just couldn't think of anything to say.

But by doing that, I put 床鋁 Yeah, I put stickers all over my room.

I'll show you guys like a video of all my room with stickers.

And it's helped me to improve and to start speaking Chinese more confidently.

That's really a useful way for me.

I discovered this by myself because

I just feel like

when you're learning a new language like right now I'm also learning Spanish right now you gotta get into

that language you gotta immerse yourself in that world just think in

that way for example from first beginning I like to write journals all my journals are in Chinese

and then since I start to learn English I start to

write everything in English even just like very short sentences for example I would say today I'm happy right

and why I'm happy

so maybe the day one I would say okay today I went to school

and I had fun with my friends I feel happy

and tomorrow maybe I would say a little bit like more like okay today I went to school

and I had fun with my friends I we did pool

and then we went to dinner and we talked a lot of things

and I feel happy so i just wrote everything and in english

and trying to build up my like way of thinking in

english then just like as time goes by for the last

three years it just gradually gradually changed like even right now

seriously i'm not a native i'm not a native english speaker

but i'm thinking in english even i don't speak perfectly but my mind is in english i'm really think for For example,

one plus one is equal to two.

I'm not thinking about one plus one is equal to two.

Yeah.

So I'm literally just thinking in English right now.

Yeah, yeah.

And that's a huge step.

That's something that I'm sure so many of my viewers would want to reach.

So what do you think was the biggest thing that broke through that maybe feeling of being scared or shy to speak?

What do you think got you through that hardest step of starting?

I think for me is a mindset.

Like what I said, don't think about what others think about you.

That's the most important things because you learn it for yourself.

You learn it to express yourself.

For example, when the first time I was in the US, I was hanging out with a lot of people.

While I was there, I just don't talk.

I feel like I'm transparent with a lot of people.

I feel nervous, I feel like, why should I talk?

I don't understand.

And they're talking about the cartoon that I watched when they're young.

I don't know anything.

I don't know the name.

I don't know any vocabulary.

But, you know, I just don't know what to say.

And I feel so nervous, so awkward.

But I put myself in that situation thousands of times.

I know I'm not comfortable, but every time I'm trying to speak a little bit for example i will ask what's

that cartoon oh can you show me a picture maybe can you tell me how to spell it

because maybe i don't even know how to spell it

and maybe i will look it up on the google

and i will say oh this is a cartoon maybe i will watch you a little bit later

so when the next time when they talk about this cartoon i will know about it

and i will know maybe i can talk about okay i know this character

and what does he look like yeah right it's just like slow progress

But the main thing is just to put yourself out of your comfort zone and enjoy the nervous, to be honest.

Enjoy the nervous because that's how you learn.

And when you're nervous, when you feel like, okay, something like emergency, you just feel nervous at that time.

Then you will remember better, to be honest.

Mm-hmm completely yeah.

I was thinking of like

when I go to dance class for example Sometimes the dance is

so difficult and I see everyone around me they can just

Understand it immediately and remember every step

and I'm just taking a lot longer than them and it makes me feel really

100

Embarrassed and nervous but then I learned from that too I go home

101

and maybe I practice that same routine so that the next class I'm better at it Exactly.

102

Because you don't know, like maybe those dancers already learned that dance before.

103

And that's why they're doing it so much better than me.

104

So you just can't compare your progress.

105

You can't compare where you are because you don't really know about anyone else but yourself.

106

Like you told me yesterday, you can only compete with yourself.

107

Yeah, exactly.

108

Yeah, because what I think about is you really don't know the people, where they're from, where they start, when they start.

109

The only thing you can see is just yourself.

110

You can see a person right now it's perfect speaking english

111

but you really don't know how much effort she put in the back right yeah

112

but you know how much effort you put for yourself

113

so as long as you are a little bit better than yesterday you're doing good you know exactly

114

and also there's like people are scared they're going to be judged by others, right?

115

That's a big thing.

116

But that's another thing that I think you just have to get past.

117

You have to realize it's not about you, it's about them.

118

And if they're judging you, that's because they maybe feel insecure about themselves.

119

They don't have the courage that you have of making mistakes and failing.

120

Exactly.

121

I feel like, for example, I'm talking to you right now.

122

I'm not speaking perfect English, but I will never think about your judging me

123

because you are my friend and also you wanted me to improve my language right

124

so I think

125

if the person for example you are judging me right now

126

I don't think it will become friends anymore you know

127

that means this person doesn't worth your time you know you should find someone

128

that would love to speak with you you should find someone

129

that will never judge you no matter it's for a language

130

or for anything else is the same because you have to find the people there you feel comfortable ways.

131

You know, if they're judging you, that means they're not a good person.

132

Yeah, that's very true.

133

And that's a perfect segue into my English community.

134

That's where you can speak without feeling judged,

135

without feeling the pressure to speak with someone who is maybe criticizing you or judging you.

136

In the community, it's a free space to talk whenever you feel like talking

137

and to talk with teachers from all around the world and have conversations like these

138

naturally to boost your confidence in english yeah you can find the link in the description

139

if you're interested are there any other english learning tips just to get you speaking get you out of

140

that bubble i think what i did the most is shadowing

141

and i told you i really like a girl like her name is Aileen Gu

142

and she gave me so many inspirations she's like a competitor for like Olympics

143

and she's also going for Stanford for like her university

144

and also she's the model she's doing a lot of things

145

and at the time I was shadowing her reels on Instagram

146

like every day just one reel I will like repeat it

147

I don't know 100 times 200 times I'm just repeat what she says just do the shadowing

148

and also her mindset actually will go into mine as well you know it's very interesting

149

and i do the shadowing like every day every day

150

because you can also imitate the tongue she's talking

151

and then you will know how you actually react

152

when you talk to people because that's a real conversation

153

and that's real logic yeah so i think shadowing definitely is very very useful

154

and also watching tv shows i watched a lot of american tv shows at

155

that time first of all i will have english subtitle

156

and i will read the english subtitle when i'm watching it

157

and i will choose some um very easy like a you know basic shows to watch i can't watch friends

158

because friends has

159

so many you know vocabularies at the time i watch something

160

like you know high school stuff like for example like never had i ever some like a basic stuff

161

because they're just talking about things in school

162

and i was in school like i was in my grad school at the time

163

so i will find some topic you know in common

164

so i will watch it

165

and i will shadow it as well okay shadowing that's one then

166

and did you ever like do anything to really push yourself like speak to people in in the street

167

or embarrass yourself i honestly did uh first of all i

168

did you know i download some like apps for have international friends

169

because before i don't have any international friends

170

and living in china is hard to find the foreigners even

171

i was living in shanghai it does it does have some

172

but not too much so uh i was go on this app called like hello talk

173

and some like you know other apps

174

and I found people from all over the world they wanted to practice like sensing as your community right now

175

so like I'm just there talking with people

176

because people are all willing to learn so we're practicing together

177

and they want to learn Chinese and I want to learn English

178

so I met this guy actually right now we're best friends right now from the app and we're exchange language

179

and he was learning Chinese, I was learning English at the time.

180

And he actually inspired me to become a Chinese teacher and also inspired me to speak better English.

181

And right now, his Chinese is way better than before as well

182

because he was trying to talk with a lot of people.

183

Yeah, I think those apps are super useful for learning, learning especially if you don't have maybe the environment yeah the environment

184

or even just the

185

if you don't have the money basically yeah to pay for

186

the courses yeah there's a lot of ways to practice

187

because I didn't pay for anything I learned everything by myself because you're teaching but you're also learning exactly yeah

188

Olivia why did you learn English?

189

I think since I was young I was fascinated by the American cultures like English songs, English movies, Hollywood.

190

I like this so much because people always looks very artistic or they're very free and they're always productive.

191

I wanted to know why.

192

And also three years ago, I was doing my master's degree.

193

I don't know what to do in my life.

194

I don't know after I graduate, what kind of job can I get and where I'm going to go or stay.

195

I don't know anything, but I feel like outside of China in my head has an answer for me.

196

So I wanted to see, okay, what are people doing outside of China?

197

So I wanted to travel.

198

But to travel, the main things you need to learn, just English.

199

You have to communicate with people, you have to understand things.

200

So that's how I started.

201

You have to understand to travel the world.

202

Exactly.

203

So your inspiration was travel.

204

Yeah, basically.

205

And I wanted to discover myself as well.

206

Because I really did see a lot of people, Like, when I was younger, I went to Bali once,

207

I saw people were so afraid they're doing like cliff jumping, they're like swimming with their bikini, because at that time I was in China, my mom always told me,

208

you shouldn't wear too explosive, you know, so I'm like why they can't do that, so I wanted to know, maybe I can do that too,

209

I can try the things I've never tried before, I can try the things maybe I like maybe I don't like yeah

210

but yeah I mean I think traveling is one of the

211

biggest motivators for people to learn English I think traveling

212

but also job opportunities exactly was that ever a reason for you to learn English

213

because for me I feel like okay at the time I

214

had my master's degree even I graduate I was living in

215

Shanghai Shanghai is very expensive for the rent for everything so So if I graduate, I cannot get well paid.

216

But I noticed the foreigners in Shanghai, they get well paid.

217

And the people that could speak English, they get well paid.

218

And I was like, why wouldn't I speak English?

219

If I speak English, I would definitely get better opportunities.

220

That's why also another reason I start to learn English.

221

Yeah, and since you learned English, how do you think that's changed your life?

222

Honestly, I feel like learning English completely changed my life, about my mindset especially, because before I'm a little bit close-minded as well.

223

I feel I'm a little bit conservative, very traditional, because I grew up in China

224

and I have a very traditional family as well but

225

because learning english let me know everything is possible like i

226

really understand like you can really try everything you want to

227

try don't think about others don't think about the social judgment don't think about how

228

that like others think about you because for me

229

in china i always feel like judged i feel like i

230

do everything i have to think about what does my parents think

231

and what does my friend think and how's everybody else think

232

but i want to start learn english and

233

because i watch a lot of movies

234

so i know youtube the people are doing a lot of

235

adventure they go on skydiving scuba diving they go on all the adventures i was like i want to do

236

that too and i don't want to care too much about what people say so yeah that's what i started Yeah,

237

I think that little push is the first thing you need to start actually reaching your dreams.

238

And for most people, it's English.

239

And I think English is just something that can change the people you meet, the experiences you have, the jobs that you get.

240

What about the cultural difference?

241

say moving from China and going to travel to a new country what was

242

that like honestly from first beginning it was overwhelming the first

243

time I was in the US I was in Louisiana out of nowhere

244

and I met people they're like you know they're the neighbors

245

they asked me hey how are you doing I was like are you talking to me

246

because in China we don't have small talk

247

so I never did small talking my whole life I'm like

248

oh who are you talking to oh me I'm like uh okay thank you I don't know what you say

249

and I feel awkward I feel overwhelmed

250

because at the time I'm still thinking okay maybe they will

251

think why this Chinese girl is right here what is she doing

252

and she doesn't even speak English I will think maybe he's judging me

253

because I don't speak English he will think I'm from first beginning that's all in my mind

254

but later I realized I started to speak more people actually they like to get to know me

255

and when I see they have the interest for me I will try to express myself more

256

and stop thinking about okay they're gonna judge me

257

because my English is not perfect and they're always being very you know supportive

258

and always like inspire me oh you should talk more

259

and your English is really good and then later I don't thinking about, okay, I'm dumb, I speak bad English, as long as I can express myself well,

260

I think it's all that matters, because the grammar is just the way to express yourself.

261

As long as people understand you, no matter what you're speaking, that's most important.

262

Yeah, for sure.

263

So for example, if I went up to someone in China, and I started having small talk with them,

264

like hey how's the weather it's nice today isn't it then

265

what do you think the reaction of a Chinese person would be you mean

266

if it's you like a foreigner oh yeah yeah

267

and they would be like oh wow she's talking to me I mean it's definitely you look

268

so like up like different foreign yeah boring boring what about

269

if it was a Chinese person

270

if it's Chinese people people were saying uh why are you

271

talking to me like you don't have your own business do right now yeah

272

but sometimes um from some region people are very talkative especially

273

for the elderly they like to talk a lot there was

274

uh there will maybe you met in the elevator they will

275

ask you oh where did you get this back you know sometimes they do

276

but usually people don't do small talk with you they don't

277

talk with you yeah okay okay they're super busy yeah

278

so it's a big cultural difference then um you lived in

279

the united states how how long did you live in the

280

united states honestly i was traveling in the u.s at the

281

time i first time i was there for like five

282

and a half months i was traveling

283

and then the second time i went to visit for like three months

284

and the third time i actually worked there i was doing the working holiday

285

because at the time i I really want to get an opportunity to work abroad, to practice more my English and also get better paid.

286

So I worked there.

287

So in total probably like a one year and a little bit more.

288

Okay.

289

And what was your first initial reaction moving from China to the United States?

290

I was very excited though.

291

I was very excited because I still remember the first day like the plan.

292

I'm like arriving in Baylor Rouge.

293

I was in Louisiana.

294

Seriously out of nowhere.

295

But I just feel like oh my god the air is so fresh because there's no factory you know.

296

So I feel the air is so fresh

297

and also I feel like I don't know I feel

298

so free because that we do have a lot of restrictions back to China.

299

Even like we're still very free but just like for example I cannot use google, I can use like you know instagram in China,

300

but here I can just use everything I wanted to use.

301

So I feel like and you can say whatever you want to say and people will accept who you are.

302

So there was no big culture shock in a negative way?

303

I think negative way yes.

304

I think sometimes people are too nice you know

305

because for Chinese we're very direct

306

if I like you I would tell you I like you

307

if I don't like you I'm just gonna be polite

308

but I'm not gonna say it was so nice to meet you

309

and I had such a great time with you I'm gonna see you again.

310

If I don't feel that way, I will never say that in Chinese.

311

But I noticed that when I was in the US, I thought we're friends, we had a great time together.

312

I said, it was so nice to meet you, we're going to see each other again.

313

And then you realize, oh, maybe for them, they don't think the same.

314

But at the time, they will be like, oh, I was so happy to meet you.

315

It's so nice to meet you and actually they don't mean it.

316

But I understand because people want to be positive all the time, they want to be nice, they want to be always be encouraging,

317

but maybe they just think I'm boring at the time, because I don't speak that much English, why do they want to know me, you know?

318

But it's just that sometimes I can't know if people really mean what they say.

319

Okay, more in the United States.

320

Yeah, more in the United States.

321

Yeah, that's something I noticed when I visited China,

322

when I would approach people and they wouldn't be very enthusiastic with me.

323

And I was very enthusiastic with them, but it wasn't something that they gave back to me.

324

And it was strange because I thought maybe they really don't like me

325

because if someone in the United States or Mexico behaves that way with you, it's because they really don't like you.

326

If they're just completely reactionless and with no enthusiasm at all, then you think that they hate you, they probably do.

327

So for me, that was a big maybe culture shock when I visited China.

328

Because they're very like, oh, you know.

329

But it makes it more special when they do react and when they are enthusiastic.

330

Because it's like, oh, I guess you truly do like me.

331

Because I think when Chinese people say they're very welcoming, they show their passion to you, that means they really like you.

332

Because usually Chinese people are very calm.

333

We like to observe that situation first.

334

We're not just bumping to you and saying a lot of things.

335

We like to watch, observe and to say, okay, how's the situation right now?

336

And how should I react?

337

We're more into our own business, like what I said, we don't do small talk.

338

So we'll be like, okay, you do your own business, I do mine.

339

Of course, we'll be very curious about foreigners.

340

So a lot of people, when you're in Shanghai, I think you definitely experience people wanted to take picture for you, wanted to talk with you.

341

Some kids might come to you practice their English.

342

Yeah, in Asia a lot too, in general.

343

And so what part of learning English do you think changed your life the most?

344

I think it's I think for me it's definitely learning English.

345

Let me find out what's my dream for.

346

For me right now I'm doing my jewelry design and also collecting all the jewelries from over the world.

347

Yes, so because I discovered when I was traveling, when I was talking to people from over the world

348

because i love the cultural things i love the natures

349

because i i've been so many different places i was in maldives costa rica korea i've been

350

so many different places

351

because i could speak english i could communicate with people i was talking to

352

so many people for them for me talking to them it's

353

like you're objecting yourself you know i was like observing myself what do I really like?

354

What's my passion for?

355

What I want to do in my life?

356

And after this two and a half years traveling, solo traveling by myself, I discovered I like fashion.

357

Since I was young, I like fashion.

358

So why don't I just start something with fashion?

359

And because I noticed along the way, I'm always making necklaces.

360

I'm also, you know, collecting all the beautiful jewelry.

361

So that's why right now I started everything and I put a lot of meaning on it.

362

For example, some of my pieces, like for example this one, like the diamond one, because when I was younger, I liked the song from Rihanna, Shining like a diamond.

363

So that's why I made this one, it's so beautiful.

364

Can you see it?

365

Yeah.

366

Yeah.

367

Yeah.

368

I just want to make a close-up while you talk about it.

369

Yeah.

370

Yeah.

371

So I actually gave this one to my friend as a gift

372

and at the time I didn't know I'm gonna make jewelry in the future

373

and I told her like you can shine like a diamond

374

because I feel like she's so beautiful she looks a little bit like Rihanna as well

375

so I gave it to her and she told me why don't you just start something like you know

376

with your fashion design with jewelry or collecting like all the beautiful things from all over the world

377

I'm like yeah why not

378

so that's why right now I'm settling down in Mexico City city

379

and i'm trying to build up like everything like for my jewelries

380

and also beautiful things i collect from all over the world

381

contain all the cultural things for example for the chinese things

382

like chinese design we have some you know dragons like clouds we believe in some energy

383

and elements you know so i just wanted to let people to know different cultures

384

and in in my way like from my perspective

385

so i want to bring it back to them yeah meaning bring the energy yeah

386

and each one has a story behind exactly a story of

387

your traveling of your journey of your english language journey exactly

388

too like right now i have this flower actually i don't know the english name though

389

um in spanish you know he no hippo hippocampus hippocampus no that's part of the brain No, he's okay.

390

What's it called?

391

It's called.

Guys, I just did an unboxing video on my TikTok,

393

but I wanted to come on here and thank you again and show you what we have.

394

I made a video thanking you guys for 1 million subscribers already.

395

We did the community giveaway and I'm really excited for the 10 winners to join the community.

396

I'm excited to meet you guys.

397

and I'll be sending you an email if you were one of the lucky winners.

398

And if you didn't win this time, then don't worry.

399

I'll be doing another giveaway, hopefully soon, for more English classes so that everybody gets the chance to learn.

400

Unfortunately, I can't open all the free spots, but I'm working on a system that can make it possible.

401

I'll be hanging this up right there, so you'll be seeing it in my next video.

402

And thank you guys for being here.

403

Thank you guys for learning English, for staying motivated, for being a part of this English community that we have here,

404

a lovely, lovely English community where we support each other, where we motivate each other, and where we never stop learning.

405

That's the goal.

406

Thank you, guys.

407

Back to the video.

408

To wrap up the video, What do you think are your learning English goals now?

409

Now that you're at this level, now that you can have a conversation naturally with me, what's your next step?

410

For me right now, yeah, I'm comfortable speaking English right now.

411

But I feel like there's still certain words, you know, I cannot express myself perfectly.

412

I wanted to know how to become more native.

413

So I would definitely still do shadowing when I'm watching videos on YouTube.

414

I do love shadowing because it's really like a real reaction you learn from people.

415

And also I wanted to become more professional in my field, like a fashion field.

416

Because I don't know any vocabulary about like jewelry before.

417

So right now I'm gonna get into it to learn more things about my field.

418

Yeah, I think this is mainly my English learning goals for right now.

419

And I feel like, you know, learning a language is a lifelong journey.

420

You gotta keep learning, no matter how good you can speak.

421

Because there's always something out there you don't know.

422

And you want to know.

423

So for me, I would love to always keep learning.

424

Perfect.

425

Never stop learning, that's what I always say.

426

Yay!

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.
