1
Hello, everyone, and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.
2
I'm Judy.
3
Hello, Judy.
4
Hello, everyone.
5
I'm Jake.
6
How are you today, Judy?
7
I am wonderful, thank you.
8
I had a very nice weekend.
9
I read a book in English.
10
The whole book.
11
And you, Jake?
12
I am good, thank you.
13
But I have a question for you today, Judy.
14
A question?
15
Tell me.
16
My cousin started learning English two months ago, and he asked me, how do I become fluent?
17
What should I do first, and second, and third?
18
That is a great question.
19
What did you tell him?
20
I said, listen to enjoy English talks.
21
But then he asked, and then what?
22
And you did not know what to say next?
23
No. I know many tips, but I do not know the order.
24
What comes first?
25
What comes second?
26
What is the path?
27
The path.
28
I love that word.
29
And that is exactly our topic today.
30
We are going to talk about the path to fluency?
31
Yes.
32
Today I will give you a roadmap, a step-by-step plan, five steps from beginner to fluent, in order.
33
Five steps in order?
34
Like a map.
35
I love maps.
36
Let's go.
37
But first, we have a small request.
38
Yes.
39
If you like our podcast, please click the like button.

Please subscribe to enjoy English talks.
41
And share this episode with your friends and family.
42
Thank you.
43
It helps us so much.
44
We love our listeners.
45
Okay, now let's start.
46
First, let me explain the big problem.
47
Many people want to speak English fluently, but they do not know where to start.
48
That is me and my cousin and probably many of our listeners.
49
Some people start with grammar books.
50
Some people start with vocabulary lists.
51
Some people try to speak on day one.
52
I tried to speak on day one.
53
It did not go well.
54
And that is the problem.
55
They do not have a plan.
56
They do not have an order.
57
Today, I will give you the order.
58
Five steps.
59
Each step builds on the one before.
60
Builds on?
61
What does that mean?
62
It means step two needs step one first.
63
Step three needs step two.
64
Like building a house.
65
You need the floor before the walls.
66
You need the walls before the roof.
67
Floor, walls, roof.
68
I understand.
69
So what is our floor?
70
Step number one.
71
Fill your brain.
72
Fill my brain? With what?
73
With English, step one is all about input.
74
I-N-P-U-T.
75
Input means English going into your brain, through your ears, through your eyes.
76
So, listening and reading?
77
Yes, but mostly listening.
78
At the beginning, your job is simple.
79
Listen to English every day.
80
Podcasts, songs, simple videos.
81
Just listen.
82
But what if I do not understand everything?
83
That is okay.
84
You do not need to understand everything.
85
Your brain is like a sponge.
86
S-P-O-N-G-E.
87
A sponge absorbs water.
88
Your brain absorbs English.
89
Even the words you do not understand, your brain is learning the sounds, the rhythm, the music of English.
90
My brain is a sponge.
91
I like that picture.
92
And the more you listen, the more your brain absorbs.
93
10 minutes a day, 15 minutes, while you walk while you cook while you ride the bus
94
so step one is not about speaking no not yet step
95
one is about filling your brain with English you cannot pour
96
from an empty cup first fill the cup fill the cup first then pour or later.
97
Exactly.
98
Many people try to speak before they listen enough, and they get frustrated.
99
But if you listen first, a lot, speaking will come more easily later.
100
How long should I stay on step one?
101
There is no exact time, but a good sign is when you start to recognize words.
102
When you hear a sentence and think, oh, I know that word, that means your brain is full enough to move to step two.
103
Step 1.
104
Fill your brain.
105
Listen every day.
106
Be a sponge.
107
Perfect.
108
Step number 2.
109
Copy what you hear.
110
Copy?
111
Like a copy machine.
112
Yes, like a copy machine.
113
In step 1, you listened.
114
Now, in step 2, you repeat what you hear.
115
This is called shadowing.
116
Shadowing.
117
We talked about this before.
118
Yes, and it is so important that it gets its own step.
119
Shadowing means you listen to a sentence, then you repeat the same sentence.
120
You copy the words, the speed, the rhythm.
121
Listen, then repeat, listen, then repeat.
122
Yes, and here is why this step is so powerful.
123
When you shadow, you train your mouth.
124
Your mouth learns how to make English sounds.
125
Your tongue learns where to go.
126
Your lips learn how to move.
127
I never thought about my tongue and lips.
128
Most people do not.
129
But speaking is physical.
130
Like playing the piano, your fingers need practice.
131
Speaking English, your mouth needs practice.
132
So, step two is mouth training?
133
Yes.
134
And the best part is, you do not need a partner.
135
You do not need a teacher.
136
You just need a podcast or a video.
137
Listen to one sentence, pause, repeat.
138
Listen to the next sentence, pause, repeat.
139
Let me try right now.
140
You say something.
141
I will shatter you.
142
Okay.
143
I would like a cup of coffee, please.
144
I would like a cup of coffee, please.
145
Good.
146
Now try to match my rhythm.
147
I would like a cup of coffee, please.
148
I would like a cup of coffee, please.
149
Much better.
150
Did you feel the difference?
151
Yes.
152
Some words are stronger.
153
Some words are softer.
154
That is English rhythm, and shadowing teaches your mouth to feel it, not just your brain, your mouth.
155
So step two is copy what you hear, shadow every day, train my mouth.
156
You got it.
157
Step number three, talk to yourself.
158
Talk to myself?
159
People will think I am crazy.
160
Maybe, but it works.
161
Step three is about practicing alone, without a partner, without pressure, just you and your voice.
162
But what do I say?
163
Narrate your life.
164
N-A-R-R-A-T-E.
165
Narrate means to describe what you are doing, like a movie narrator.
166
You are in the kitchen.
167
Say, I am making breakfast.
168
I am putting bread in the toaster.
169
Now I'm pouring coffee.
170
Like a sports announcer?
171
Jake is walking to the kitchen.
172
Jake opens the fridge.
173
Jake takes out the milk.
174
Exactly like that.
175
And it sounds funny, but it is very effective, because you practice real sentences about real life.
176
And nobody can judge me.
177
No mistakes to be embarrassed about.
178
Exactly.
179
That's the beauty of step three.
180
Zero pressure.
181
You can make mistakes.
182
You can stop, you can try again.
183
Nobody is listening.
184
Well, maybe my cat is listening.
185
Your cat does not judge your grammar.
186
That is true.
187
My cat only judges my cooking.
188
And here's another way to practice alone.
189
Before you go to bed, think about your day and describe it in English.
190
Today I went to work.
191
I had lunch with my friend.
192
I came home and watched TV.
193
Like a daily review? In English.
194
Yes, three or four sentences.
195
That's enough.
196
Every night.
197
And you'll notice, after a few weeks, the sentences come faster.
198
You don't need to think so hard.
199
Because my brain is used to it.
200
Because your brain and your mouth are working together now.
201
Step one filled your brain.
202
Step two trained your mouth.
203
Step three connects them.
204
That makes so much sense.
205
Brain, mouth, connection.
206
Three steps so far.
207
And now you're ready for the next step, the big one.
208
Step number four, talk to others.
209
Talk to others?
210
Real people?
211
Real people.
212
In steps one, two, and three, you practiced alone.
213
Now it's time to use your English with someone else.
214
But that's scary, Judy.
215
What if I make mistakes?
216
What if they don't understand me?
217
I understand.
218
It is scary.
219
But here's the truth.
220
You will make mistakes, and that's okay.
221
Mistakes are how you learn.
222
Every mistake makes your English stronger.
223
Every mistake makes me stronger.
224
I will try to remember that.
225
And you don't need to start with a stranger.
226
Start small.
227
Talk to a friend who speaks English.
228
Or find a language partner online.
229
Someone who is also learning.
230
A language partner?
231
Someone like me?
232
Yes.
233
There are many apps and websites for this.
234
You can practice together.
235
Help each other.
236
You help them with your language.
237
They help you with English.
238
That sounds less scary.
239
Two learners together.
240
And when you're ready, try small conversations in real life.
241
At a coffee shop.
242
I would like a coffee, please.
243
At a store.
244
Excuse me, where is the milk?
245
Small conversations first, then bigger ones.
246
Yes.
247
And here is a secret.
248
Most people are very kind.
249
If they see you're trying, they will help you.
250
They will speak slowly.
251
They will smile.
252
Really?
253
They won't laugh at me?
254
No. Most people respect someone who is learning a new language.
255
It's brave and they know it's hard.
256
That makes me feel much better.
257
Small steps, not a big jump.
258
And every conversation, even a short one, is practice.
259
Every time you open your mouth and speak English to another person, you are growing.
260
Mmm, I remember my first English conversation.
261
I was so nervous.
262
My hands were shaking.
263
And now you are talking to me every episode, in English.
264
Look how far you have come.
265
That is true.
266
I did not even notice.
267
That is because growth happens slowly.
268
You don't see it every day.
269
But one day, you look back and think, wow, I have come so far.
270
Step 4.
271
Talk to others.
272
Start small. Be brave.
273
Make mistakes.
274
And enjoy it.
275
Conversations are fun.
276
Step 5.
277
Think in English.
278
Think in English?
279
Not speak?
280
Think?
281
Yes.
282
This is the final step, the highest level.
283
When you think in English, you do not translate from your language anymore.
284
English comes directly.
285
Right now, I think in my language first, then I translate, then I speak.
286
Three steps in my head.
287
And that takes time.
288
It slows you down.
289
Fluency means you skip the translation.
290
English comes straight from your brain to your mouth.
291
One step, not three.
292
One step?
293
That sounds fast.
294
It is fast, and it feels amazing.
295
You know you are fluent when you think in English without trying.
296
But how do I get there?
297
By doing steps one through four.
298
A lot.
299
Over time, your brain starts to think in English naturally.
300
You stop translating.
301
But there are also some things you can do to speed it up.
302
Tell me!
303
First, First, label things in English.
304
Look at your desk.
305
Think pen, notebook, phone, water bottle.
306
Do not think the word in your language.
307
Think the English word directly.
308
Pen, notebook, phone, water bottle.
309
Okay, I can do that.
310
Second, when something happens, react in English.
311
You drop your keys.
312
Instead of saying, oh no, in your language, say, oh no, in English.
313
You see a cute dog, say, so cute, in English.
314
English.
315
React in English.
316
I like that.
317
And third, dream in English.
318
Dream in English?
319
I cannot control my dreams.
320
You cannot, but many language learners say one day they had a dream in English, and that's when they knew I am becoming fluent.
321
That is beautiful.
322
I want to dream in English someday.
323
You will.
324
And you know it's funny.
325
You don't choose when it happens.
326
It just happens one morning.
327
You wake up and think, wait, I was speaking in English in my dream?
328
And that's a wonderful moment.
329
I cannot wait for that moment.
330
It will come.
331
I believe in you, Jake.
332
Step five.
333
Think in English.
334
Stop translating.
335
Let English live in my brain.
336
Perfect.
337
Now let me put all five steps together.
338
Your roadmap to fluency.
339
Yes, the whole map.
340
Step one.
341
Fill your brain.
342
Listen to English every day.
343
Be a sponge.
344
Input.
345
Ears open, brain absorbing.
346
Step two.
347
Copy what you hear.
348
Shadowing.
349
Train your mouth.
350
Listen, pause, repeat.
351
Every day.
352
Step three.
353
Talk to yourself.
354
Narrate your life.
355
Practice alone.
356
No pressure.
357
No judgment.
358
Just me and my voice.
359
Step four.
360
Talk to others.
361
Start small, be brave.
362
Real conversations.
363
Small first, then bigger.
364
Step five, think in English.
365
Stop translating.
366
Let it flow.
367
English becomes part of me, not a foreign thing, just me.
368
That is beautiful, Jake.
369
And remember, these steps are not fast.
370
They take time, weeks, months, maybe years.
371
But every day you move forward, even if it's just one small step.
372
One small step every day.
373
I can do that.
374
You are already on this path.
375
You are already moving forward.
376
Be proud of where you are today.
377
Okay, let's review.
378
Yes, let's see what we learned.
379
Today we talked about speaking English fluently, step by step.
380
Five steps.
381
Yes.
382
First, fill your brain.
383
Listen a lot.
384
Good.
385
Then copy what you hear.
386
Shadowing.
387
Then talk to yourself.
388
Practice alone.
389
Then talk to others.
390
Have real conversations.
391
Then, think in English.
392
Stop translating.
393
Perfect.
394
You remembered everything.
395
I learned a lot today.
396
Me too.
397
Well, that's all the time we have for today.

Por que praticar a fala com este vídeo?
Praticar a conversação em inglês é fundamental para quem deseja se tornar fluente na língua. O vídeo "How to Speak English Fluently — Step by Step" oferece um espaço seguro para os aprendizes se exporem ao inglês falado de forma natural e contextualizada. Quando você assiste a vídeos como este, não apenas ouve diálogos autênticos, mas também se engaja em um formato que facilita a compreensão do idioma. A prática de conversação em inglês se torna mais eficaz quando você pode repetir, imitar e entender os diálogos apresentados.
Além disso, usar vídeos educativos para aprender inglês, como o apresentado, permite que você desenvolva suas habilidades orais ao mesmo tempo em que absorve novas palavras e expressões. Essa abordagem é especialmente benéfica para aqueles que se sentem intimidados ao falar, pois promove uma forma de shadowspeak, onde você pode praticar imitando os falantes nativos e aperfeiçoando sua pronúncia e fluência.
Gramática & Expressões em Contexto
- Começar uma conversa: No início do vídeo, há uma troca de cumprimentos entre os apresentadores. Expressões como "Hello everyone" e "How are you today?" são fundamentais para iniciar diálogos de forma natural.
- Fazer perguntas: Perguntas como "What should I do first?" são essenciais para manter a dinâmica de uma conversa. Elas incentivam a interação e a troca de informações.
- Usar "I love" e "I am good": Essas estruturas ajudam a expressar sentimentos e estados, elementos chave da comunicação. Frases simples, mas efetivas, que podem ser utilizadas em diversos contextos.
Essas expressões não apenas melhoram sua capacidade de se comunicar, mas também proporcionam uma melhor compreensão do inglês em situações cotidianas, ajudando a construir seu vocabulário e estruturas gramaticais de forma prática.
Erros Comuns de Pronúncia
Durante o vídeo, podem surgir palavras ou expressões que são frequentemente mal pronunciadas por aprendizes de inglês. Um exemplo é a palavra “listen”, que pode ser confundida com outras palavras semelhantes, levando a uma má interpretação. Além disso, a dicção e o ritmo dos falantes nativos podem apresentar desafios. É importante focar na entonação, especialmente em frases interrogativas como "Did you know?".
Parar e repetir essas palavras com atenção ao som e à entonação é uma técnica eficaz para evitar erros comuns. A prática de shadowspeaks, onde você replica o que ouve no vídeo, vai ajudá-lo a integrar essas nuances na sua própria fala, resultando em uma comunicação mais fluida e natural.
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.
