hello my friends welcome back to english unleashed i'm tom in
2
today's episode i'm going to talk about another very useful book called peak secrets from the new science of expertise
3
the authors are andres ericsson
4
and robert poole this book is about expertise what does
5
that mean expertise means being very very good at something an
6
expert is not just someone who knows a little an expert has deep skill an expert can do things
7
that look difficult to other people an expert pianist can play
8
music beautifully an expert chess player can see patterns quickly An expert doctor can notice small signs.
9
An expert speaker can explain ideas clearly.
10
An expert language learner can understand and use the language with confidence.
11
The big question of this book is simple.
12
How do people become experts?
13
Many people think experts are born special.
14
They think this person has talent.
15
They think they think this person is gifted.
16
They think this person was born with something I do not have.
17
But this book explains that talent is not the whole story.
18
Natural ability may help at the beginning, but it is not enough.
19
What really matters is the way people practice.
20
This is very good news.
21
Why?
22
Because if expertise is only talent, then most people cannot do much.
23
If you are not born talented, you may feel hopeless.
24
You may say, I cannot become good.
25
But if expertise comes from the right kind of practice, then growth is possible.
26
You can improve.
27
You can become better.
28
You can build skill step by step.
29
The book says that people do not become excellent only by doing something for many years.
30
This is important.
31
many people think if i do something for a long time i will automatically become great
32
but this is not always true someone may drive a car for 20 years
33
but they may not become a professional driver someone may speak their own language every day
34
but they may not become a great public speaker.
35
Someone may teach for many years, but they may not automatically become an excellent teacher.
36
So, time alone is not enough.
37
Practice matters, but not every kind of practice creates deep improvement.
38
This is one of the main lessons of the book.
39
There is normal practice and there is deliberate practice.
40
Deliberate practice means careful practice with a clear goal.
41
It means you do not only repeat the same thing again and again.
42
You practice one specific skill.
43
You push yourself a little beyond your comfort zone.
44
You get feedback.
45
You correct mistakes you repeat again you keep improving small parts
46
this is very different from simple repetition for example imagine a language learner they listen to English every day
47
while doing something else this is useful it gives exposure exposure means contact with the language but
48
if they want to improve speaking they also need focused speaking
49
practice they need to practice answering questions they need to notice pronunciation they need to repeat useful sentences.
50
They need feedback.
51
They need to speak, listen, correct.
52
and try again that is closer to deliberate practice the book explains
53
that experts do not only practice more they practice differently they
54
practice with attention they practice with a clear purpose they practice the parts
55
that are difficult They do not only do what is easy and comfortable.
56
They work on weaknesses.
57
This can feel uncomfortable.
58
Nobody loves feeling weak.
59
Nobody loves seeing mistakes.
60
But mistakes show us what to practice next.
61
A mistake is not the end.
62
A mistake is information.
63
It says, look here, this part needs work.
64
For English learners, this is powerful.
65
If you cannot pronounce a sound, that sound is your practice area.
66
If you cannot answer questions quickly, quick answers are your practice area.
67
If you forget vocabulary when you speak, using vocabulary in sentences is your practice area.
68
If listening is hard, slow listening and repeated listening are your practice area.
69
Do not run away from the difficult part.
70
The difficult part is often the door to improvement.
71
This book also teaches us that the brain can change.
72
When you practice in the right way, your brain builds better connections.
73
Your mind creates better patterns.
74
Your body learns better movements.
75
Your ears become sharper.
76
Your eyes notice more.
77
Your hands become more controlled.
78
Your voice becomes more confident.
79
This is not magic.
80
It is training.
81
A beginner and an expert do not see the same thing.
82
A beginner sees many separate pieces.
83
An expert sees patterns.
84
A beginner musician sees many notes.
85
An expert musician hears meaning in the music.
86
A beginner language learner hears a fast group of sounds.
87
An advanced learner hears words, phrases, rhythm, and intention.
88
A beginner chess player sees separate pieces.
89
An expert chess player sees the whole pattern.
90
Experts have strong mental pictures inside their minds.
91
The book calls these mental representations.
92
We will talk more about this later,
93
but for now, you can think of a mental representation as an inner map,
94
a map inside your brain.
95
An expert has a better map.
96
Because the map is better, they understand faster, they decide faster, they perform better better.
97
But this map is not born perfect.
98
It is built through practice.
99
This means your English map can become better.
100
At first, English may feel like a big forest.
101
You do not know where to go.
102
You hear words, but they disappear quickly.
103
You know grammar, but speaking is slow.
104
But with repeated practice, your map becomes clearer.
105
You recognize sentence patterns.
106
You understand common phrases.
107
You hear pronunciation more easily.
108
You know how to begin an answer.
109
You know how to continue.
110
This is expertise growing.
111
So, the first message of this episode is simple.
112
people become really good through the right kind of practice not
113
only talent not only time not only motivation the right practice
114
if you want to improve english do not only ask how
115
long did i study ask how did i practice did i
116
focus did i repeat did i correct did i get feedback did i practice the part
117
that is difficult did i return again tomorrow these questions my friends matter They are important.
118
the book gives us hope but also responsibility hope
119
because we can improve responsibility
120
because improvement needs real practice we cannot only dream we cannot
121
only watch videos we cannot only say one day I will
122
be good we must practice in a better way the good news is
123
that practice can be small you do not need to change
124
everything in one day start with one skill one sentence
125
one sound one answer one short conversation practice it
126
carefully repeat it improve it expertise is not one big jump remember
127
that expertise is not one big jump expertise is
128
many small improvements repeated over time okay now let's talk more about practice.
129
Many people believe practice means doing the same thing again and again.
130
And yes, repetition is important.
131
Repetition helps the brain.
132
Repetition makes things familiar.
133
Repetition helps your body and mouth learn.
134
But the book Peak explains that repetition alone is not enough.
135
If you repeat something in the wrong way, you may only become better at doing it wrong.
136
If you repeat a pronunciation mistake many times, the mistake becomes stronger.
137
If you repeat unclear speaking habits, they become normal.
138
If you always practice easy things, you may stay at the same level
139
so the question is not only do i practice the better
140
question is what kind of practice am i doing the book
141
explains different kinds of practice the first kind is simple practice you do something again
142
and again for example you play a song many times you
143
read a text many times you listen to English many times this can help especially at the beginning
144
but after some time simple practice may not be enough the
145
second kind is purposeful practice purposeful means it has a clear
146
purpose you know exactly what you want to improve you are
147
not just doing the activity you are working on one part of the activity for example
148
if you are learning English for example
149
if you are learning English you say I will practice speaking
150
that is general it is not very specific but if you say I will practice answering questions in the past tense,
151
that is more specific.
152
If you say, I will practice a specific sound in words like thank,
153
three, and thanks, that is specific.
154
If you say, I will practice speaking for one minute without stopping, that is specific.
155
If you say, I will practice using five new phrases in sentences, that is specific too.
156
Specific practice is stronger because your attention is clear.
157
Attention is very important.
158
If your mind is not present, your practice becomes weaker.
159
you may spend one hour with english but
160
if your attention is not there the result may be small you may spend 15 minutes with deep attention
161
and the result may be better
162
so we need focused practice focused practice means you are awake you listen carefully You notice mistakes.
163
You try again.
164
You compare your speech with a model.
165
You ask, what can I improve?
166
You do not practice like a machine.
167
You practice like a learner.
168
The book also says that good practice needs feedback.
169
Feedback means information about your performance.
170
It tells you what is working and what is not working.
171
Without feedback it is hard to improve because you may not see your mistakes.
172
A piano student needs a teacher to say your rhythm is not steady.
173
A tennis player needs a coach to say, your movement is late.
174
An English learner may need a teacher, a recording, a native speaker,
175
or a careful comparison to notice problems.
176
But feedback does not always need to come from another person.
177
Sometimes you can give yourself feedback.
178
For example, record your voice.
179
Listen again.
180
Ask yourself, was my pronunciation clear?
181
Did I pause too much?
182
Did I use the right words?
183
Did my sentence sound natural?
184
Then try again.
185
This is very useful for English learners.
186
Many learners never listen to their own voice they speak, feel embarrassed, and stop.
187
But if you listen carefully, you can improve.
188
Your recording is not there to shame you.
189
It is there to help you.
190
Feedback is information, not punishment.
191
Now, let's repeat that.
192
Feedback is information, not punishment.
193
Another part of purposeful practice is pushing yourself a little beyond your comfort zone.
194
Your comfort zone is the area where things feel easy and safe.
195
If you stay only there, you may not grow much.
196
But if you go too far, you may feel lost and frustrated.
197
You may feel disappointed.
198
The best practice is a little difficult, but not impossible.
199
For English, this means choosing material that is understandable, but still has something new.
200
If a podcast is too easy, you may enjoy it, but you may not grow much.
201
If it is too hard, you may feel lost.
202
The best level is where you understand most of it, but still meet new phrases, new sounds, or new sentence patterns.
203
This is why A2 and B1 learners need clear, slow, meaningful input.
204
Not baby English, not extremely difficult English.
205
Just rich, comprehensible English with useful repetition.
206
When practice is too easy, you become comfortable.
207
When practice is too hard, you become discouraged.
208
When practice is just a little difficult, you grow.
209
The book also explains that improvement often needs leaving automatic mode.
210
Automatic mode means doing things without thinking.
211
Once you can do something well enough, your brain wants to save energy.
212
It makes the action automatic.
213
This is useful for daily life, but it can stop improvement.
214
It can stop learning.
215
For example, after you can have simple English conversations,
216
you may stop improving because you use the same sentences again and again.
217
You say the same basic things.
218
You avoid difficult grammar.
219
You avoid new vocabulary.
220
You stay comfortable.
221
You can communicate, but you do not move.
222
To improve, you must return to focused practice.
223
Choose one weak area, maybe pronunciation, maybe storytelling, maybe answering questions,
224
maybe using past tense, maybe using more natural phrases.
225
Then practice that area deliberately.
226
This is how you break a plateau.
227
A plateau is a time when you stop improving.
228
You are practicing, but your level feels the same.
229
This happens to many learners.
230
It can feel frustrating, but a plateau is not the end.
231
It is a sign that your old practice method may not be enough anymore.
232
You need a new kind of practice.
233
More focused, more specific, more feedback, and more challenge.
234
For example, if your listening is stuck, do not only listen to more difficult videos.
235
Try repeated listening.
236
Listen to the same short part three times.
237
First, understand the main idea.
238
Second, notice phrases.
239
Third, shadow the sentences.
240
This is more active.
241
If your speaking is stuck, do not only wait for conversation.
242
Practice answers alone.
243
Use common questions.
244
Record yourself.
245
Improve one answer.
246
Speak again.
247
If your vocabulary is stuck, do not only memorize lists.
248
Learn words in sentences.
249
Use each word in your own example.
250
Review it later.
251
Say it aloud.
252
This is purposeful practice.
253
So, the lesson of this part of the book is simple.
254
Practice is not just repetition.
255
Good practice has a clear purpose.
256
It has focus.
257
It has feedback.
258
It pushes you a little beyond comfort.
259
It works on specific weaknesses.
260
Do not only practice more, practice better.
261
This is one of the biggest lessons from PEEK.
262
All right, now we come to one of the most important ideas in the book.
263
Deliberate practice.
264
What is deliberate practice?
265
Deliberate practice is the special kind of practice that helps people become experts.
266
it is not casual practice it is not just doing something
267
for fun it is not just repeating what you already know deliberate practice is careful focused
268
and difficult in the right way the word deliberate means intentional intentional means you know what you are doing
269
and why you have a clear purpose.
270
You're not just passing time.
271
You are training.
272
In deliberate practice, you choose a specific skill.
273
You try to improve it.
274
You get feedback.
275
You correct your mistakes.
276
You repeat.
277
You continue until the skill becomes better.
278
This kind of practice is often not easy.
279
it can be tiring it needs attention it may not feel relaxing
280
but it works because it forces the brain
281
and body to adapt to adapt means to change to become
282
better for a situation for example imagine a piano student they
283
did not only play a whole song from beginning to the
284
end they choose one difficult part maybe only three seconds of
285
music they play it slowly they listen they correct the movement
286
they played again they get feedback from a teacher they repeat
287
until the difficult part becomes better this may not look exciting but it creates skill
288
now imagine an english learner they do not only watch a long movie and hope to improve
289
they choose one useful dialogue they listen to it they repeat
290
the sentences they notice pronunciation they practice the rhythm they record their voice they compare and they repeat again
291
this is closer to deliberate practice so a big lesson from the book is
292
that experts practice things they cannot do well yet they do
293
not spend all their time showing what they can already do
294
they work on the edge of their ability the edge of
295
your ability means the place where you can almost do something
296
but not easily yet this place is important it is where growth happens
297
if something is too easy you are not pushed
298
if something is too hard you are lost but
299
if something is just beyond your current level your brain must grow for english learners this means you need practice
300
that is a little challenging.
301
If you can speak for 30 seconds, try 45 seconds.
302
If you can answer simple questions, try giving a reason.
303
If you can use present tense, practice past tense.
304
If you can understand slow English, try natural but clear English.
305
Small challenge, not huge challenge.
306
Another important part of deliberate practice is having a clear model.
307
A model is an example of good performance.
308
If you want to improve pronunciation, you need to hear good pronunciation.
309
If you want to improve writing, you need to read good writing.
310
If you want to improve speaking, you need examples of clear speaking.
311
Without a model, you may not know what you are aiming for.
312
In English Unleashed, the podcast can become a model.
313
You hear clear sentences.
314
You hear repeated phrases.
315
You hear simple structure.
316
You hear how ideas connect.
317
Then you can copy.
318
Copying is not bad at the beginning.
319
Copying helps your brain learn patterns.
320
Deliberate practice also needs feedback from someone who knows the skill.
321
A teacher or coach can see problems quickly.
322
This is why teachers are important.
323
A good teacher does not only say, good job.
324
A good teacher shows you the next step.
325
They say, this is the weak part.
326
Try this method.
327
Slow down.
328
Repeat this.
329
Focus on this sound.
330
Use this phrase instead.
331
Feedback can feel uncomfortable, but it saves time.
332
Without feedback, you may practice the wrong thing for months with feedback you
333
can correct the problem earlier for english feedback can come from a teacher an app a language partner
334
or even your own recording but remember
335
feedback must lead to action if someone corrects you do not only say okay practice the correction repeat it,
336
use it, make it part of your speech.
337
Deliberate practice is not only knowing your mistake, it is fixing your mistake through repetition.
338
This is important.
339
Another point from the book is that deliberate practice can feel mentally demanding.
340
Mentally demanding means it uses a lot of brain energy.
341
Experts do not practice with deep focus for endless hours.
342
They need rest too, because real practice takes attention.
343
So, do not think you must practice English with deep focus for five hours every day.
344
That may be too much.
345
A short, focused session can be powerful.
346
For example, 15 minutes of real shadowing with attention and repetition can be useful.
347
10 minutes of focused pronunciation practice can help.
348
20 minutes of careful listening can train your ear.
349
Quality matters.
350
This does not mean long exposure is useless listening for pleasure is also helpful watching videos hearing podcasts reading stories
351
these all give language input but when you want to improve a specific skill use deliberate practice
352
for example use easy listening for general growth use deliberate practice for specific improvement Both are useful.
353
they do different jobs the book also warns us
354
that deliberate practice is not always fun in the normal way it may not feel like entertainment
355
but it can become satisfying satisfying means it gives a deep
356
good feeling you feel i'm improving i solve the problem this part is better than yesterday That feeling is powerful.
357
For example, when you finally pronounce a word more clearly, you feel proud.
358
When you answer a question more smoothly, you feel progress.
359
When you understand a sentence that was difficult before, you feel happy.
360
This is the joy of improvement.
361
So the message of this part of the book is this.
362
Deliberate practice is focused, specific, challenging, and connected to feedback.
363
It is the practice that builds real skill.
364
It is not always easy, but it works.
365
If you want to become better at English, choose one small area, practice it carefully,
366
get feedback, repeat, improve, then choose the next area.
367
This is how skill grows.
368
All right, now let's talk about a very important idea from the book.
369
Mental representations representations.
370
This phrase may sound difficult, but the idea is very simple.
371
A mental representation is like a picture or map inside your mind.
372
It helps you understand something.
373
It helps you know what to do.
374
It helps you see patterns.
375
Experts have better mental representations than beginners.
376
A beginner sees separate details.
377
An expert sees the whole picture.
378
A beginner often feels lost.
379
An expert knows what matters.
380
A beginner may need to think about every small step.
381
An expert can understand quickly because their inner map is strong.
382
let's use a simple example imagine a chessboard a beginner sees many pieces they may think this piece is here
383
that piece is there
384
but an expert chess player sees patterns they see danger they
385
see possibilities they see plans they understand the position quickly
386
because they have seen many similar patterns before now think about english listening a beginner hears a stream of sounds
387
it may feel too fast they hear something like noise
388
but a stronger learner hears chunks a chunk is a group of words that often go together.
389
For example, I don't think so.
390
Let me think.
391
I'm not sure.
392
That makes sense.
393
A beginner may hear separate words, but an experienced learner hears these as whole phrases.
394
That is a better mental representation.
395
The more useful patterns you have in your mind the easier English becomes this is why learning phrases is
396
so powerful do not only learn single words learn words inside
397
sentences learn chunks learn common structures these become part of your
398
inner map for example instead of learning only the word improve learn i want to improve my english
399
my listening has improved a lot this habit helps me improve
400
now the word is connected to real use your mind knows where it belongs mental representations also help with speaking
401
if you have no structure in your mind speaking feels hard
402
you think what should i say first what should i say next
403
but if you know simple structures your mind has a map the book explains
404
that deliberate practice builds and improves maps as your mental map becomes better your performance becomes better
405
and as your performance improves your mental map becomes even stronger they grow together
406
practice builds the map the map guides practice this is a
407
beautiful cycle for english learners this means every useful sentence you
408
learn can improve your map every time you listen carefully you improve your map.
409
Every time you compare your pronunciation with a model, you improve your map.
410
Every time you speak and correct yourself, you improve your map.
411
Your brain is not empty.
412
It is building a system.
413
At first, the system is simple.
414
Later, it becomes rich.
415
This is why repetition matters so much.
416
You need to meet patterns many times.
417
One time is not enough.
418
If you hear a phrase once, you may forget it.
419
If you hear it ten times, it becomes familiar.
420
If you use it in your own speech, it becomes stronger.
421
If you hear it in different situations, it becomes part of your map all right now let's talk
422
about talent talent is one of the most common ideas people talk about
423
when they talk about success they say she is talented he has a gift
424
that person was born for this sometimes this is true in
425
a small way people are different some people may start faster Some people may have a good ear for music.
426
Some people may have a strong memory.
427
Some people may learn movement quickly.
428
But the book explains that talent is often misunderstood.
429
We often see the final result, but we do not see the years of practice behind it.
430
We see a great musician on stage, but we do not see the slow practice.
431
We see a fluent speaker, but we do not see the hours of listening and speaking.
432
We see an athlete win, but we do not see the training.
433
We see a successful creator, but we do not see the failed attempts
434
when we only see the result we say talent
435
but the real story is usually much longer this is important
436
because the idea of talent can become dangerous
437
if you believe everything is talent you may stop trying you
438
may say I'm not talented at English I'm not good at speaking I do not have a language brain.
439
These sentences can become walls.
440
They stop you before you begin.
441
But if you believe skill can be built, you act differently.
442
You say, I'm not good yet.
443
This word yet is very powerful.
444
I'm not fluent yet.
445
I cannot understand fast English yet.
446
I cannot speak confidently yet.
447
I do not know enough vocabulary yet.
448
Yet means the story is not finished.
449
The book also discusses the famous idea of 10 ,000 hours.
450
Many people heard that you need 10 ,000 hours to become an expert.
451
But the book explains that the number alone is not the main point.
452
it is not simply about counting hours 10 000 hours of
453
weak practice will not create the same result as many hours
454
of deliberate practice the quality of practice matters hours matter yes
455
time matters you cannot become an expert in one day but the way you use the hours matters even more Are you focused?
456
Are you getting feedback?
457
Are you improving weaknesses?
458
Are you pushing your ability?
459
Are you building better mental maps?
460
This is the real question.
461
For English learners, this means that studying for many years does not always create fluency.
462
Many people study English at school for years, but they still cannot speak comfortably.
463
Why?
464
Maybe because they did not get enough speaking practice.
465
Maybe they memorized grammar but did not use the language.
466
Maybe they did not get enough listening input.
467
Maybe they were afraid of mistakes.
468
Maybe their practice was not deliberate.
469
This does not mean those years were useless, no. They may have built some knowledge.
470
But to become a strong speaker, you need the right kind of practice.
471
You need listening.
472
You need speaking.
473
You need repetition.
474
You need feedback.
475
You need vocabulary in context.
476
You need useful phrases.
477
You need real communication.
478
Another key idea in the book is effort.
479
Effort means trying with energy and attention.
480
But effort must be smart.
481
Hard work is important, yes, but hard work without direction can waste time.
482
If you work very hard under wrong thing, you may not get the result.
483
You won't.
484
For example, if your goal is speaking, but you only do grammar exercises silently,
485
your speaking may not improve enough.
486
grammar helps but speaking needs speaking so match your practice to your purpose
487
this is very simple but many learners forget it if you want to speak speak
488
if you want to listen better listen if you want to write write if you want pronunciation practice this sounds and rhythm.
489
If you want vocabulary, use words in sentences.
490
Effort becomes powerful when it is connected to the right practice.
491
The book gives us a hopeful view of human ability.
492
It says that people can often improve much more than they think.
493
The brain and body can adapt.
494
skills can grow limits are sometimes not fixed they are often training problems
495
of course this does not mean everyone can become the best
496
in the world at everything no people have different bodies different time different resources different teachers
497
different starting points but most people can become much better than they are now
498
that is the important message you may not become the best english speaker in the world
499
but you can become much better than your current level you can understand more you can speak more clearly
500
you can feel more comfortable you can build stronger habits you can improve your pronunciation you can learn to express your ideas.
501
That is enough to begin.
502
Another problem with talent is that praise for talent can make people afraid.
503
If someone says, you are so smart, you may become afraid of looking not smart.
504
You may avoid hard tasks because mistakes threaten your identity but
505
if someone praises effort strategy and improvement you learn
506
that difficulty is normal so instead of saying to yourself I am talented
507
or I'm not talented say I am practicing I am improving I am learning how to learn.
508
I can get better with the right method.
509
This kind of language supports growth.
510
For English learners, when you make a mistake, do not say, I have no talent.
511
Say, this is a practice point.
512
When you do not understand a fast sentence, do not say, my listening is terrible.
513
Say, I need more repeated listening.
514
When you forget a word, do not say my memory is bad.
515
Say, I need to use this word in more sentences.
516
Change the story.
517
The book shows that excellence is not a mystery.
518
It is not only a gift, it is a process.
519
It is built through years of good practice,
520
feedback, challenge, and strong mental representations, strong mental maps.
521
So, the lesson of this part of the book is this.
522
Do not worship talent.
523
Respect practice.
524
Respect effort.
525
Respect good methods.
526
Respect patience.
527
Talent may open a door, but deliberate practice helps you walk through it.
528
All right, now let's talk about teachers and feedback.
529
in this book one important message is that people often improve faster
530
when they have good guidance a good teacher coach
531
or mentor can help you practice in the right way they
532
can see what you cannot see they can correct mistakes they can choose exercises is.
533
They can push you a little beyond your comfort zone.
534
This is important because beginners often do not know what to practice.
535
They may feel that everything is difficult.
536
They may practice the wrong thing, or they may practice only the things they already like.
537
A good teacher says focus here.
538
This saves time.
539
For example, an English learner may say, I need more vocabulary, but a teacher may notice that the real problem is not vocabulary.
540
Maybe the learner knows many words but cannot use them quickly.
541
So the teacher says, let's practice sentence patterns.
542
Or maybe the learner says, my grammar is bad.
543
But the teacher notices that pronunciation is the main problem in communication.
544
So they focus on sounds and stress.
545
Feedback helps you see the real problem.
546
This is why expert guidance can be powerful.
547
But a teacher is not a magician.
548
A teacher cannot improve for you.
549
A teacher can guide, but you must practice.
550
A teacher can correct, but you must repeat.
551
A teacher can show the path, but you must walk.
552
This is a very important balance.
553
Do not expect a teacher to do the work for you, but also do not think you must do everything alone good
554
guidance plus serious practice creates strong results for English learners you
555
can use many kinds of feedback a teacher can give you
556
feedback a language partner can give feedback a recording can give feedback.
557
A transcript can give feedback.
558
Even subtitles can help you check what you missed.
559
For example, listen to a short audio without subtitles.
560
Try to write what you hear.
561
Then check the transcript.
562
What words did you miss?
563
What sounds were unclear?
564
What phrases were too fast.
565
Now listen again.
566
This is feedback.
567
Here is another example.
568
Record yourself answering a question.
569
Then listen again.
570
Did you speak clearly?
571
Did you use the right tense?
572
Did you repeat too much?
573
Did you stop too often?
574
Choose one thing to improve.
575
Then answer again.
576
this is feedback specific feedback shows the next step if feedback is too general ask
577
what exactly should i improve can you give me one example what should i practice next
578
this turns feedback into action the book also explains that experts need teachers too
579
especially during training even very talented people benefit from coaches why
580
because when you are inside your own performance you cannot always see clearly someone outside can see details
581
a pianist may not hear that their rhythm is slightly uneven a speaker may not notice
582
that they speak too fast a language learner may not hear
583
that a sound is unclear a writer may not see
584
that a paragraph is confusing feedback gives another view
585
but feedback can be emotional sometimes it hurts
586
when someone says this needs improvement we may feel embarrassed we may feel defensive we may think, I'm not good enough.
587
This is normal.
588
But we need to learn to separate feedback from identity.
589
Feedback about your skill is not a judgment of your value.
590
And this mindset is very important.
591
A strong learner receives feedback and uses it.
592
They may feel uncomfortable, but they do not collapse collapse means fall down emotionally they
593
say okay this is useful I know what to practice for English feedback can become a plan if
594
the feedback says you pause too much practice short answers every day
595
if the feedback says your pronunciation is unclear practice shadowing
596
if the feedback says you translate too much learn more phrases
597
and chunks if the feedback says your answers are too short provide giving reasons and examples so feedback gives direction.
598
Another idea is that you should not practice everything at once.
599
If you receive too much feedback, choose one or two points.
600
Practice those.
601
When they improve, move to the next.
602
Too much correction at the same time can feel heavy.
603
Small focused improvement is better than trying to fix everything immediately for example this week you focus on sentence stress
604
next week you focus on past pens storytelling the next week you focus on giving example
605
this is manageable manageable means you can handle it a good teacher also helps you design practice They do not only explain,
606
they give exercises that stretch your ability.
607
Stretch means push gently.
608
Not too easy, not impossible, just challenging enough.
609
For selfish study learners, you can design your own practice too.
610
Choose a model.
611
Choose a small part.
612
Repeat.
613
Record.
614
Compare.
615
Correct.
616
And then repeat again.
617
This simple cycle is very powerful.
618
Model.
619
Practice.
620
Feedback.
621
Correction.
622
Repeat.
623
Use this cycle again and again.
624
So the message of this part is clear.
625
Feedback helps you improve faster.
626
Teachers and coaches can guide you, but you must use the feedback through practice.
627
Do not fear correction.
628
Correction is part of growth.
629
A mistake shows you the next exercise.
630
Feedback shows you the next step
631
and the next step is where improvement begins all right now
632
let's bring everything together this book is about how people become excellent it teaches us
633
that expertise is not just talent it is not just time it is not just doing something again and again.
634
Expertise comes from the right kind of practice.
635
This is an encouraging message.
636
It means you can improve more than you think.
637
Your current level is not your final level.
638
Your current English is not your final English.
639
Your current speaking ability is not your final speaking ability.
640
Your current confidence is not your final confidence.
641
You can grow but growth needs a method so the first lesson is
642
that normal practice is not enough after a certain point
643
if you only repeat what is easy you may stay at
644
the same level to improve you need focused practice you need to choose a specific skill.
645
You need to work on the weak parts.
646
You need to try.
647
You need to get feedback.
648
You need to correct and repeat.
649
This is deliberate practice.
650
The second lesson is that improvement happens near the edge of your ability.
651
Not too easy, not too hard, just a little difficult.
652
That is the place where your brain works.
653
That is the place where your skills grow.
654
For English learners, this means you should choose practice that challenges you gently.
655
If speaking for one minute is easy, speak for two minutes.
656
If you can understand slow English,
657
try slightly more natural English if you know simple answers practice giving examples
658
if you know single words practice full phrases the third lesson is
659
that experts have better mental maps they have stronger inner maps these maps help them understand quickly
660
and perform better the next lesson is that improvement takes time.
661
It takes attention.
662
Deliberate practice is not always easy.
663
It can be tiring.
664
It needs focus.
665
But even short practice sessions can create progress if you repeat them regularly.
666
If you want better listening, do nominally listen once.
667
Choose a short audio.
668
Listen several times.
669
First, understand the general meaning.
670
Second, notice phrases.
671
Third, check difficult parts.
672
Fourth, shadow the sentences.
673
This is better than jumping from one video to another without focus.
674
All right.
675
Thank you so much for listening to English Unleashed.
676
I hope this episode helped you understand the main ideas of PEAK in easy English.
677
Listen again if you can.
678
The first time, understand the main message.
679
The second time, notice useful vocabulary.
680
The third time, shadow the sentences and practice speaking.
681
Until next time, keep listening, keep repeating, and keep practicing deliberately.
682
Bye for now.

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.
