21
All right, let's get started with Atomic Habits.
22
I'm going to read it slowly and I want you to shadow me.
23
So just read along with me.
24
I'm probably going to read it more than once.
25
And whenever I come across a word that I think should be explained, I will explain it.
26
If I see an interesting pronunciation element, I will teach it.
27
Same thing about the way I use my voice and intonation to tell the story.
28
Let's get started.
29
Atomic Habits, Tiny Changes, Remarkable Results by James Clear.
30
An excerpt from Chapter 2.
31
Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?
32
Form to create, shape, or establish something.
33
To form good ones.
34
Few things can have more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits.
35
And yet, it is likely that this time next year, you'll be doing the same thing rather than something better.
36
Let's do it again.
37
Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?
38
So here in this first sentence, we want to compare easy and hard.
39
And I'm going to use my voice to do that.
40
Why is it so easy, pitch and length, to repeat bad habits?
41
I'm also comparing bad habits versus good one.
42
And so hard to form good ones.
43
So we have easy, hard, bad habits, good ones.
44
Let's do it again.
45
Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?
46
Few things can have a more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits.
47
And yet, it is likely that this time next year, you'll be doing the same thing rather than something better.
48
I felt it in my heart, thinking about all the habits that I want to build and I haven't just yet.
49
Maybe after recording this video, I will.
50
It often feels difficult to keep good habits going for more than a few days,
51
even with sincere effort and the occasional burst of motivation.
52
So occasional is something that happens only once in a while.
53
It's infrequent and not regular.
54
Okay?
55
Occasional.
56
Every now and then.
57
So basically what it means that, you know, like sometimes we get really, really motivated and we do something for a few days and then that motivation dies down.
58
You must know this from English.
59
I always talk about it to my students who join my programs.
60
I tell them at the beginning, you're going to be very excited about it.
61
But if you don't build a habit, you are going to lose that motivation.
62
So this is exactly that.
63
And by the way, burst is a sudden, short, intense amount of energy.
64
Occasional burst.
65
Okay, you can actually visualize it.
66
It's something that happens every now and then and then it's something that is very sudden, very short and intense amount of energy, speed, or effort.
67
Occasional burst of motivation.
68
Habits like exercise, meditation, journaling, and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.
69
A hassle is something that is annoying, difficult, or causes trouble.
70
So can you relate to that?
71
Habits like exercise, pitch going up, meditation, journaling, still going up,
72
and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.
73
Good.
74
So now let's read it again.
75
Shadow me.
76
It often feels difficult to keep good habits going for more than a few days,
77
even with sincere effort and the occasional burst of motivation.
78
Habits like exercise, meditation, journaling,
79
and cooking are reasonable for a day or two and then become a hassle.
80
However, once your habits are established, they seem to stick around forever.
81
especially the unwanted ones.
82
So established is to build, set up, or make something permanent and stable.
83
To establish something.
84
However, once your habits are established, they seem to stick around forever, especially the unwanted ones.
85
To stick around is to stay in a place or remain present.
86
Despite our best intentions, unhealthy habits like eating junk food, watching too much television, procrastinating,
87
and smoking can feel impossible to break.
88
Changing our habits is challenging for two reasons.
89
One, we try to change the wrong thing.
90
And two, we try to change our habits in the wrong way. In this chapter,
91
I'll address the first point let's do it again imitate me despite our best intention unhealthy habits like eating junk food
92
watching too much television procrastinating and smoking can feel impossible to break
93
changing our habits is challenging for two reasons one we try to change the wrong thing and two,
94
we try to change our habits in the wrong way.
95
Do it again with me and when we list the first reason, we stress the word thing and when we list the second reason, we stress the word way.
96
For two reasons.
97
One, we try to change the wrong thing and two, we try to change our habits in the wrong way.
98
In this chapter, I'll address the first point.
99
Our first mistake is that we try to change the wrong thing.
100
Wrong thing.
101
To understand what I mean, consider that there are three levels at which change can occur.
102
Let's practice the phrase that there are three levels.
103
A lot of THs.
104
That there, TTH that there are,
105
R is reduced, three THR levels at which change can occur, occur, happen, occur.
106
You can imagine them like the layers of an onion.
107
Onion, cup sound, onion, not onion, onion.
108
Let's do it again.
109
Our first mistake is that we try to change the wrong thing.
110
To understand what I mean, consider that there are three levels at which change can occur.
111
You can imagine them like the layers of an onion.
112
The first layer is changing your outcomes.
113
Outcomes.
114
The T is held here.
115
Outcomes.
116
This level is concerned with changing your results.
117
Losing weight, publishing a book, winning a championship.
118
Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.
119
Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.
120
Let's do that part again.
121
The first layer is changing your outcomes.
122
This level is concerned with changing your results, losing weight, publishing a book.
123
Winning a championship.
124
Most of the goals you set are associated with this level of change.
125
Moving on.
126
The second layer is changing your process.
127
This level is concerned with changing your habits and systems.
128
Say it together.
129
Changing your habits and systems.
130
Concerned with, by the way, is to be about or interested in or focused on concerned with.
131
This level is about changing your habits.
132
Concerned with, think of it as if we're saying this level is about changing your habits.
133
Implementing a new routine at the gym, decluttering your desk for better workflow, developing a meditation practice.
134
Declutter is to remove mess and unneeded things from a place.
135
So decluttering your desk for a better workflow.
136
So you're getting rid of all the things on the table so that you are not distracted.
137
Most of the habits you build are associated with this level.
138
So let's do it again.
139
Just shadow me.
140
This level is concerned with changing your habits and systems, implementing a new routine at the gym,
141
decluttering your desk for better workflow, developing a meditation practice.
142
Most of the habits you build are associated with this level.
143
The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.
144
Identity.
145
You can pronounce the two Ts.
146
Identity.
147
Identity.
148
The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.
149
This level is concerned with changing your beliefs.
150
Beliefs.
151
To believe with a V.
152
And this is belief.
153
A belief.
154
This level is concerned with changing your beliefs, your worldview, world, world, worldview,
155
your self -image, your judgments about yourself and others.
156
Most of the beliefs, assumptions, and biases you hold are associated with this level.
157
Assumptions, bias, biases.
158
Let's do it again.
159
The third and deepest layer is changing your identity.
160
This level is concerned with changing your beliefs, your worldview, your self -image, your judgments about yourself and others.
161
Most of the beliefs, assumptions, and biases you hold are associated with this level.
162
Outcomes are about what you get.
163
Processes are about what you do.
164
Identity is about what you believe.
165
Let's do this part again.
166
It's really good.
167
Outcomes is about what you get.
168
So you have to have a clear vision for what it is that you want.
169
Processes is the how to, how do you get there?
170
It's about what you do.
171
Identity is about what you believe.
172
Am I capable of being a fluent and confident speaker or not?
173
Let's do this part again and talk about it in the context of English because it's so good.
174
Outcomes are about what you get.
175
The outcome, the result, the goal that you have.
176
I want to be able to speak confidently about myself for 10 minutes without stopping even once.
177
Processes are about what you do.
178
It's how you get there.
179
It's the roadmap.
180
Okay, so that means that I need to practice every day for five minutes speaking about myself.
181
That's the process.
182
If I do that every day, I will be able to talk about myself with confidence for five minutes without stopping.
183
Identity is what you believe.
184
I am capable of speaking confidently and freely about myself instead of my English is not good enough.
185
So identity is about what you believe.
186
When it comes to building habits that last.
187
When it comes to.
188
When it comes to.
189
When it comes to is what it is about regarding a specific thing.
190
When it comes to building habits, when it's about building habits that last, when it comes to building a system of 1 % improvements,
191
the problem is not that one level is better or worse than another.
192
All levels of change are useful in their own way.
193
Let's do it The problem is the direction of change.
194
Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve.
195
Let's do it again.
196
Many people begin the process of changing their habits by focusing on what they want to achieve.
197
I want to be fluent.
198
I want to be confident.
199
I want to get a better job in English.
200
This leads us to outcome -based habits.
201
The alternative is to build identity -based habits.
202
The alternative is to build identity -based habits.
203
With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.
204
Who we wish.
205
Who we wish.
206
Do it again with me.
207
With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.
208
So let's repeat it.
209
This leads us to outcome -based habits.
210
The alternative is to build identity -based habits.
211
With this approach, we start by focusing on who we wish to become.
212
Moving on.
213
Imagine two people resisting a cigarette.
214
When offered a smoke, the first person says, No thanks, I'm trying to quit.
215
Tryna, tryna, trying to, tryna, tryna quit.
216
It sounds like a reasonable response, but this person still believes they are a smoker who is trying to be something else.
217
Trying to be, trying to be, trying to be.
218
They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.
219
Let's do it again.
220
They are hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.
221
The second person declines by saying, no, thanks.
222
I'm not a smoker.
223
The second person declines by saying, no, thanks.
224
I'm not a smoker.
225
Declines is to say no, to decline.
226
Decline is also what happens to your card when there aren't enough funds on it.
227
The card was declined.
228
But in this context, to say no. Oh, no, thank you.
229
No, thanks.
230
I'm not a smoker.
231
It's a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity.
232
Let's do that part again.
233
They're hoping their behavior will change while carrying around the same beliefs.
234
The second person declines by saying, no thanks, I'm not a smoker.
235
It's a small difference, but this statement signals a shift in identity.
236
Smoking was a part of their former life, not their current one.
237
They no longer identify as someone who smokes identify.
238
You can also say identify.
239
Identify.
240
When said quickly, the T often drops.
241
Or even when not said quickly, depending on the speaker.
242
Both are correct.
243
They no longer identify as someone who smokes.
244
Behavior that is incongruent with the self will not last.
245
Incongruent is not matching, out of place, or not fitting together.
246
Incongruent.
247
It's not consistent with.
248
Behavior that is incongruent, incongruent with a self will not last.
249
So if I'm behaving in a way that is not aligned with how I believe about myself, it will not last.
250
So if I think about myself as a bad speaker of English and I'm trying to speak more
251
and I'm trying to be confident and I don't believe that I'm capable of speaking, it's not going to last.
252
I'm going to keep quiet at some point and avoid at some point and it's not going to be consistent.
253
You may want more money, but if your identity is someone who consumes rather than creates,
254
then you'll continue to be pulled towards spending rather than earning.
255
You may want better health, but if you continue to prioritize comfort,
256
over accomplishment, you'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.
257
You'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.
258
You'll be drawn to.
259
You'll be drawn to.
260
Be drawn to is to be attracted or interested in something.
261
I'm drawn to practicing English every day.
262
You'll be drawn to relaxing rather than training.
263
It's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior.
264
Again, it's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying beliefs that led to your past behavior.
265
Underlying is deep, hidden, or the real reason for something.
266
Underlying.
267
So let's read it again.
268
It's hard to change your habits if you never change the underlying belief that led to your past behavior.
269
you have a new goal and a new plan
270
but you haven't changed who you are let's do it again you have a new goal
271
and a new plan but you haven't changed who you are
272
true behavior change is identity change okay so i want you to think about
273
that concept from the perspective of language learning, right?
274
What is the identity change that we need to go through to be able to see behavior change?
275
What are the beliefs that we have about who we are when it comes to speaking English, practicing English, and how can that change, right?
276
If I'm a person who doesn't have time to practice English, then clearly it's going to be hard to find time to practice English.
277
But if I'm a person who practices English every single day, even if it's for 10 minutes, that's just who I am.
278
You will find a way that behavior is going to be aligned with your identity.
279
You might start a habit because of motivation.
280
I want to learn English.
281
But the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.
282
Let's do it again.
283
You might start a habit because of motivation, but the only reason you'll stick with one is that it becomes part of your identity.
284
So think about it.
285
Yeah, you can start a habit, but you don't not stick with it because you don't have time
286
or you are not disciplined or that you are not consistent.
287
Like all of that, yes, but it's probably because it hasn't become a part of who you are and how you think about yourself.
288
Anyone can convince themselves to visit the gym or eat healthy once or twice or practice English every day.
289
But if you don't shift the belief behind the behavior, then it is hard to stick with long -term changes.
290
Let's do it again.
291
Anyone can convince themselves to visit the gym or eat healthy once or twice.
292
But if you don't shift the belief behind the behavior, then it is hard to stick with long -term changes.
293
Long -term, long -term, long -term changes.
294
Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.
295
Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.
296
So there are a lot of words that you can connect to here.
297
Let's do it again together.
298
Improvements are only temporary until they become part of who you are.
299
The goal is not to read a book.
300
The goal is to become a reader.
301
Let's do it again.
302
The goal is not to read a book.
303
The goal is not to read a book.
304
The goal is to become a reader.
305
The goal is not to run a marathon.
306
The goal is to become a runner.
307
Marathon.
308
Marathon.
309
The goal is not to learn an instrument or a language.
310
The goal is to become a musician or a speaker of that language.
311
The goal is not to learn a language.
312
The goal is to become a speaker of that language.
313
Yes, I know I'm cheating a little bit.
314
It's okay.
315
After all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned, let's do it again.
316
After all, connect it.
317
After all, after all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned,
318
you are no longer pursuing behavior change.
319
You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.
320
Let's do it again.
321
Focus on connected speech.
322
You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.
323
And all together, after all, when your behavior and your identity are fully aligned,
324
You are no longer pursuing behavior change.
325
You are simply acting like the type of person you already believe yourself to be.
326
Well done, my friends.
327
So now, who is the person that you believe yourself to be when it comes to speaking in English?
328
Are you a confident, brave, successful speaker of English as a second language?
329
If you don't believe that to be true, then I'm telling you that you are.
330
And this is the beginning point of you building the habit of practicing English and speaking English regularly,
331
either with my videos or with any other resources that you love working with.
332
Remember that practicing English consistently is the secret to becoming fluent.
333
It's not just about getting the right resources.
334
It's about sitting down and doing the work and building those habits
335
and to be able to build those habits You have to believe that you are capable of speaking English confidently,
336
freely, and fluently.
337
I believe in you.
338
Great job.
339
If you enjoyed this definitely check out part one and Stay tuned for part three.
340
Have a beautiful beautiful rest of the day, and I'll see you next time in the next video.

Metas de fala para este clipe
Este vídeo é perfeito para quem quer melhorar a prática de conversação em inglês de forma lúdica e eficaz. O foco está no shadowing em inglês (técnica de repetir frases imitando o falante), além de expandir o vocabulário e a intonação. Você aprenderá a articular palavras complexas, a usar a voz para enfatizar comparações (como "easy" vs "hard") e a manter o ritmo natural, essenciais para uma fala mais fluente e confiante.
Banco de frases reutilizáveis
- "Few things can have more powerful impact on your life than improving your daily habits" (Poucas coisas podem ter um impacto mais poderoso em sua vida do que melhorar seus hábitos diários)
- "It is likely that this time next year, you'll be doing the same thing rather than something better" (É provável que daqui a um ano, você esteja fazendo a mesma coisa em vez de algo melhor)
- "Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?" (Por que é tão fácil repetir maus hábitos e tão difícil formar bons?)
Essas frases são ideais para o shadowspeak, pois combinam estrutura gramatical com expressões cotidianas, ajudando a fixar o uso de conectivos e comparações.
Corrija seus pontos fracos
O vídeo foca na pronúncia e na ritmo, especialmente em como usar a entonação para transmitir significado. Por exemplo, na frase "Why is it so easy to repeat bad habits and so hard to form good ones?", a voz sobe no "easy" e desce no "hard", enfatizando a contradição. Isso evita a fala monótona, um erro comum. Além disso, a técnica de shadowing em inglês ensinada aqui ajuda a treinar a memória auditiva e a sincronizar a fala com o fluxo natural do inglês. Pratique repetindo as frases lentamente, imitando a entonação e o stress das palavras – é a chave para uma conversação mais natural.
Aprender inglês com vídeos como esse é uma forma eficaz de combinar estudo teórico com prática ativa. Use o shadow speak diariamente e veja como sua fluência melhora rapidamente!
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.
