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 today.
8
I had a good walk this morning.
9
The air was fresh and cool.
10
And you, Jake?
11
I am, um, okay, but I have a problem.
12
A problem?
13
Tell me.
14
So, last week I was at a party.
15
A friend introduced me to someone new.
16
She said, This is Jake.
17
He is learning English.
18
Jake, say something in English.
19
Oh. And?
20
And I opened my mouth and.. nothing.
21
Zero words.
22
Nothing?
23
Like a fish.
24
My mouth opened, my mouth closed.
25
No words.
26
A fish, Jake.
27
It was very embarrassing.
28
I know the words.
29
In my head, I had many things to say, but my mouth, it would not cooperate.
30
Cooperate.
31
That means work with you, work together.
32
Yes.
33
My brain said speak.
34
My mouth said no. I understand this feeling completely.
35
It is so frustrating.
36
I study English every day.
37
I listen, I read, but when I open my mouth, nothing comes out.
38
Jake, I know exactly what the problem is.
39
Please tell me.
40
Your brain has been to school, but your mouth has not.
41
My mouth has not been to school.
42
Your brain knows English, but your mouth has not practiced enough, and today we fix that.
43
Yes, today we train the mouth.
44
Exactly.
45
Today our topic is how to train your mouth to speak English.
46
My mouth is listening.
47
Perfect.
48
Let's start.
49
But first, a small message.
50
Yes.
51
If you enjoy our podcast, please click the like button.
52
And please subscribe to enjoy English talks.
53
And share this episode with a friend who wants to speak English but feels stuck.
54
Especially a friend whose mouth does not cooperate.
55
That is a lot of us.
56
Okay, let's train.
57
Tip number one.
58
Your mouth is a muscle.
59
A muscle?
60
Like my arm?
61
Yes, not exactly the same, but your mouth needs training, like a muscle.
62
Hmm, I go to the gym for my arms.
63
Do I need a gym for my mouth?
64
Think about it this way.
65
If you want strong arms, what do you do?
66
I go to the gym.
67
I lift weights.
68
Do you get strong arms by reading about lifting weights?
69
No, I have to actually lift them.
70
Exactly.
71
The same is true for English speaking.
72
You cannot speak by only listening.
73
You cannot speak by only reading.
74
You must open your mouth and speak.
75
So all the time I was reading and listening, my mouth was sitting on the sofa.
76
Yes.
77
Your brain was at the gym.
78
Your mouth was on the sofa.
79
That explains so much.
80
Your mouth is used to your first language.
81
Polish sounds, Polish rhythms.
82
English sounds are completely different.
83
English sounds strange in my mouth sometimes.
84
At first, yes.
85
But with practice, English sounds become natural.
86
Your mouth learns to make them.
87
Muscle memory.
88
Exactly.
89
Muscle memory means your body remembers, like riding a bicycle.
90
At first, difficult.
91
After practice, automatic.
92
I don't think about how to ride a bicycle.
93
My body just does it.
94
That is the goal for speaking.
95
Your mouth just does it.
96
Automatically, naturally.
97
Tip 1.
98
My mouth is a muscle.
99
It needs practice, not just my brain.
100
Perfect.
101
Tip number 2.
102
Shadowing.
103
Shadowing?
104
Like my shadow on the ground?
105
Yes, like that.
106
You become the shadow of the speaker.
107
You follow them.
108
You copy them.
109
How does it work?
110
You listen to someone speaking English, a podcast, a video, and you repeat what they say, at the same time, or right after them.
111
At the same time?
112
That sounds very difficult.
113
It can be at first.
114
So start right after.
115
Listen, then repeat immediately.
116
And I copy everything.
117
The words.
118
The words, the pronunciation, the rhythm, the music of their voice.
119
The music.
120
I like that.
121
English has a rhythm, like a song.
122
Shadowing helps your mouth feel that rhythm.
123
Let me try.
124
You say something, I will shadow you.
125
Okay.
126
Ready?
127
Good morning.
128
How are you today?
129
Um, good morning.
130
How are you today?
131
Good.
132
Try to match my rhythm.
133
I am very happy to be here.
134
I am very happy to be here.
135
Better.
136
One more.
137
My name is Jake and I love English.
138
My name is Jake and I love English.
139
Very good.
140
You are shadowing.
141
It feels strange, but good.
142
At first, strange.
143
After practice, natural.
144
The key is don't stop.
145
Even if you miss a word, keep going.
146
Keep your mouth moving.
147
Even if I don't understand every word?
148
Yes.
149
The goal is not understanding.
150
The goal is training your mouth, making English sounds, feeling the rhythm.
151
What is the best thing to shadow for beginners?
152
Start with slow, clear content, like this podcast.
153
Pause after each sentence, repeat it, then press play again.
154
So, listen to Judy, repeat Judy, listen again, repeat again.
155
Yes, you can shadow me right now.
156
I will say a sentence, you repeat.
157
Ready.
158
Every day I practice English for 10 minutes.
159
Every day I practice English for 10 minutes.
160
My English is getting better and better.
161
My English is getting better and better.
162
See?
163
You're doing it.
164
That is shadowing.
165
I feel my mouth working harder than usual.
166
That is the muscle at work.
167
Tip 2.
168
Shadowing.
169
Listen and copy.
170
Keep going.
171
Perfect.
172
Tip number 3.
173
Warm-up phrases.
174
Warm-up phrases.
175
Yes.
176
Every day, before you do anything else, say five simple phrases in English out loud with your voice.
177
Like what phrases?
178
Simple ones.
179
I'm ready.
180
Good morning.
181
Let's go.
182
I can do it.
183
No problem.
184
That's interesting.
185
Sounds good.
186
See you later.
187
These are very simple.
188
That is the point.
189
Simple phrases every day make your mouth comfortable, like stretching before exercise.
190
If I say these every morning, my mouth wakes up in English.
191
Exactly.
192
And later in the day, when you need to speak, your mouth is already warm, already ready.
193
Ah, stretching for the mouth.
194
Yes.
195
And here's the secret.
196
Say them with feeling, not like a robot. With feeling?
197
Yes.
198
If you are happy, say, I'm ready, with energy.
199
If you are tired, say, good morning, in a soft, slow voice.
200
Feel the words.
201
Okay.
202
Let me try.
203
I am very happy right now.
204
So, I'm ready.
205
Good energy.
206
And now, I am very tired.
207
Good morning.
208
Very convincing, Jake.
209
Very tired.
210
I am an actor.
211
When you say phrases with feeling, your brain connects the words to emotion, to real life.
212
They become part of you.
213
Not just sounds, real words.
214
Exactly.
215
And after many days, these phrases become automatic.
216
You don't think.
217
You just say them.
218
Like my bicycle.
219
Like your bicycle.
220
Tip 3.
221
Warm-up phrases.
222
Five simple phrases every day, out loud, with feeling.
223
I can do that, starting tomorrow morning.
224
Starting tomorrow morning.
225
Tip number 4.
226
Your home is your English gym.
227
My home?
228
Yes.
229
Your home is the perfect place to practice speaking.
230
It is safe, it is private.
231
Nobody is watching.
232
Nobody to laugh at me.
233
Exactly.
234
So, speak out loud at home, in English, all the time. About what?
235
What do I say?
236
Anything.
237
What you see, what you are doing, what you are thinking.
238
Give me an example.
239
You are in the kitchen.
240
You are making coffee.
241
You say, I am making coffee.
242
The water is hot.
243
I need my cup.
244
The coffee smells good.
245
Just describe everything?
246
Yes, like a sports commentator, but for your own life.
247
Jake opens the fridge.
248
Jake takes the milk.
249
Jake says there is no milk.
250
Jake is sad.
251
Perfect commentary.
252
Jake is a natural.
253
What about my neighbors?
254
They'll hear me.
255
Close the window.
256
Okay, close the window, speak English.
257
Simple.
258
And you can do more.
259
Tell yourself your plans.
260
Today I will go to the supermarket.
261
Then I will call my sister.
262
Then I will watch a movie.
263
In English, out loud.
264
Every time you speak out loud, you are training your mouth.
265
You are at the gym.
266
Your home gym.
267
No expensive membership required.
268
No membership.
269
Free.
270
Open 24 hours.
271
I like this gym.
272
Can I also practice in the shower?
273
The shower is one of the best places.
274
No phone, no distractions.
275
Just you and English.
276
Today is a good day.
277
I am taking a shower.
278
The water is warm.
279
I feel good.
280
Perfect.
281
That is real training.
282
That is your mouth working.
283
Every sentence counts.
284
Every sentence is a small weight, and my mouth gets stronger.
285
Yes, one sentence at a time.
286
Tip 4.
287
Speak out loud at home.
288
My home is my English gym.
289
And tip 5.
290
This is my favorite.
291
Your brain follows your mouth.
292
Wait.
293
My brain follows my mouth?
294
Not the other way?
295
Many people think, when my English is better, I will speak.
296
They wait and wait and wait.
297
That is me.
298
I was waiting.
299
But here is the truth.
300
Speaking makes your English better.
301
You speak first, then you improve.
302
So I should speak even when I am not ready?
303
Especially when you are not ready.
304
But what if I make mistakes?
305
When you speak, even badly, your brain works very hard.
306
It says, Wait, we're speaking English.
307
I need to help quickly.
308
Give me words.
309
Give me grammar.
310
The brain wakes up.
311
Yes, speaking activates your brain.
312
It is much more powerful than only reading or listening.
313
It is like driving a car.
314
If you want to learn to drive, you get in the car and drive.
315
You don't only read about driving.
316
Exactly right.
317
The driving teaches you.
318
The speaking teaches you.
319
So the fish moment at the party, that was my mouth waiting for permission.
320
Permission it never needs to ask for.
321
Next time, I just speak, even if it is small, even if it is wrong.
322
Even if it is wrong, yes, your brain will catch up.
323
My brain follows my mouth.
324
Think of it this way.
325
When you speak, you give your brain a job, and your brain is very good at its job.
326
It will find the words.
327
It will build the sentence.
328
But only if you start.
329
If I don't open my mouth, my brain has nothing to do.
330
Exactly.
331
Opening your mouth, that is the signal that says, Brain, we are speaking now.
332
help me.
333
So the fish moment at the party, I just needed to say one word, even one small word, and my brain would have started working.
334
Yes, one word opens the door, then another word follows, then a sentence, then a conversation.
335
I will remember that.
336
One word opens the door.
337
And one more small thing.
338
Your voice is yours.
339
Your accent is yours.
340
You do not need to sound like someone else.
341
My accent is Polish and I am proud of it.
342
You should be.
343
The goal is not a perfect accent.
344
The goal is clear communication.
345
People will understand you and they will respect you for trying.
346
Don't wait to be perfect.
347
Speak now.
348
Improve later.
349
That is the whole lesson.
350
Ah, I feel better already.
351
Okay, let's review.
352
Five tips to train your mouth.
353
Yes.
354
Tip 1.
355
Your mouth is a muscle.
356
It needs practice, not just reading and listening.
357
You must speak.
358
Open your mouth and make sounds.
359
Tip 2.
360
Shadowing.
361
Listen to English, then copy immediately.
362
Copy the words, the rhythm, the music.
363
Keep going even if you miss words.
364

365
Warm-up phrases.
366
Every morning, five simple phrases.

373

And tip 5.

Don't wait.
380

Improve as you go.

Communication is the goal.
384
Perfect.

Para quem é esse vídeo?
Se você é um iniciante no inglês, estuda diariamente, entende quando ouve e até lê um pouco, mas fecha a boca quando precisa falar — esse vídeo é para você! Ele resolve aquele problema comum: o cérebro sabe as palavras, mas a boca não coopera. Ideal para quem quer sair da "zona de conforto" e começar a falar com confiança, usando dicas práticas e fáceis de aplicar.
Palavras e expressões para roubar (e usar!)
No diálogo, há algumas expressões que valem a pena anotar:
- Cooperate: Significa "cooperar". No contexto, a boca de Jake "não cooperava" — ou seja, não funcionava como ele queria.
- Like a fish: Uma expressão idiomática que descreve alguém que abre e fecha a boca sem falar nada, como um peixe fora d'água. Perfeita para descrever aquela situação constrangedora!
- Frustrating: "Frustrante". Uma palavra essencial para falar sobre os desafios do aprendizado.
Como treinar a boca para falar inglês (e acertar o sotaque!)
O segredo, segundo o vídeo, é treinar a boca como se ela fosse um aluno que precisa ir à escola. E uma das melhores formas de fazer isso é com o shadowspeak (também chamado de shadow speak ou shadow speech). Como funciona? Você reproduz um trecho de áudio (como o do vídeo) e repete imediatamente, tentando copiar a pronúncia, a entonação e o ritmo. Isso ajuda a sua boca a se acostumar aos movimentos necessários para falar inglês.
Comece com trechos curtos, como o diálogo entre Judy e Jake. Repita cada frase várias vezes, pausando e voltando se precisar. Lembre-se: o objetivo não é ser perfeito de imediato, mas sim treinar a musculatura da boca a se mover de forma diferente. Com o shadowspeak, você não só melhora o sotaque como também ganha confiança para falar sem hesitação.
Aprender inglês com vídeos e praticar o shadow speak é uma combinação poderosa. Não perca a chance de transformar aquele "nada" que sai da boca em frases claras e confiantes. Vamos treinar — sua boca vai agradecer!
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.
