Prática de Shadowing: Why You Never Make Progress in English - Aprenda a falar inglês com vídeo
Criando lição...
1
I know that you want to speak English fluently.
2
That's your goal.
3
That's why you are learning English.
4
That's why you are watching this video.
5
But I have a couple of questions to ask.
6
Do you know your first step?
7
Once you take the first step, do you know what to do next?
8
Do you know how many hours per day you should study if you want to be fluent?
9
And a lot of how -to questions.
10
Do you know how to study vocabulary?
11
How to learn grammar?
12
How to improve your fluency?
13
How not to forget words?
14
How, how, how, how, how?
15
Do you have the answers to these questions?
16
Let me tell you one thing.
17
I've been teaching English for about 12 years now.
18
I have taught thousands of students and I have talked to millions of students.
19
I've read your comments, I've read your emails, your messages.
20
I've talked to a couple of you face to face.
21
I know that these are the questions you guys have.
22
These are the same questions every language learner has.
23
And in this video, I am here to once
24
and for all answer all these questions and tell you what the solution is if you want to speak English fluently.
25
My name is Matty
26
and this is my Slow English Podcast let's start with the
27
first one you know the main reason a lot of people want to start studying english
28
but never do
29
and always have an excuse saying today i'm busy tomorrow i'll
30
start next week i'll start from the next year i'm gonna
31
start from next monday i'm gonna start the reason why you are in this loop
32
if you are in this loop is because you don't know what to do first yesterday day, I had a meeting with one of my subscribers.
33
It was a face -to -face meeting.
34
Do you know what he told me?
35
He said, I wanted to start studying English.
36
So I talked to a tutor.
37
And then I realized I don't want to learn with a tutor.
38
So I started watching YouTube.
39
And while watching YouTube, I thought I need a more organized approach.
40
So I bought a book.
41
But I didn't know how to study the book.
42
So I talked to a tutor.
43
And then when I talked to the tutor, I realized, no, I want to do it on my own.
44
So I listened to some podcasts, then went to YouTube videos.
45
Then again, talk to the tutor, went to the book.
46
You see, this is a vicious cycle.
47
You are at the center of this cycle.
48
And you keep going around and around and around without ever starting to learn English.
49
There are so many things available.
50
There are lots of applications you can use to learn English, lots of classes, schools, academies like our own academy,
51
books, tutors, podcasts, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cloud, everything's available.
52
And when the number of options go up, that number cripples action.
53
You will be unable to take action.
54
Let me give you one example.
55
Last night, I wanted to watch a movie.
56
I turned on the TV, went to Netflix, and I had a million options to choose from.
57
So many options.
58
I spent half an hour going from one movie to another, from one genre to another,
59
and in the end, I ended up scrolling Instagram for hours before I went to band.
60
You see, too many options available on Netflix.
61
I could not choose one.
62
When the number of options go up, it becomes even more confusing for a learner to choose from.
63
So that's problem number one.
64
I'm going to give you the solution at the end of this video.
65
Stay with me.
66
Now, let's say you overcome this problem somehow and you start taking the first step.
67
When you finish your first study session, what is the question you ask yourself?
68
Hmm, what should I do next?
69
Now imagine each time you sit down to study, you have to decide what to study.
70
You have to decide your next step.
71
Should I study another grammar page from my book
72
or should I learn 20 new words?
73
if i want to learn 20 new words what kind of
74
words am i going to learn should i choose the level as beginner
75
or intermediate how should i learn these words how do these words relate to grammar i studied
76
so many things going on and there are two problems with this first of all
77
if you are in charge of deciding what to do next
78
this is going to be exhausting this is going to make you tired.
79
Learning on its own is already difficult.
80
I don't want you to do this too.
81
I don't want you to sit down and think about what to study.
82
You have to sit down knowing what to study and just start.
83
Problem two, if you are in charge, more often than not, you are not qualified to be in charge.
84
You are not supposed to be in charge of what you should learn next because you don't know.
85
An expert, or a system, needs to provide you with what to do next.
86
So you get that off your mind and you start studying.
87
Think about tennis.
88
I want to learn tennis.
89
I take a course, the coach enters, do I have to tell the coach what to work on?
90
Or will the coach, depending on what I need, tell me what to work on?
91
Exactly.
92
It is not my responsibility, it is their responsibility.
93
It is not your responsibility to know what to do next.
94
It is a teacher, a tutor, or a system's responsibility to tell you what to do next.
95
The third burning question students have, how many hours a day should I study?
96
Is one hour per day enough?
97
And you know, when I hear this question, my immediate answer is, okay, let me answer with a question.
98
In the past six months, on average, how many hours a day have you studied?
99
nothing right
100
and now you're sitting here telling me one hour is not enough the thing is we are looking for motivation
101
and once we have it one day
102
because we feel good we start setting goals the goals we set are based on
103
that motivation so the goals are very high
104
and you say okay every day i'm going to study three hours a day
105
or two hours a day you start making a huge huge commitment.
106
And here's the thing about huge commitments.
107
It makes it incredibly difficult for you to stay consistent and be disciplined.
108
Because motivation is like an up and down and up and down curve.
109
It goes up, it comes down.
110
It goes up, it comes down.
111
When it goes up, you decide two hours.
112
When it comes down, you're like, what the hell?
113
I don't want to even sit down and study.
114
Think about New Year's resolution.
115
Look, right now we're in October and soon we're coming to the end of 2026.
116
2027 will start and I promise
117
and I guarantee you guys are going to make to have a New Year's resolution for 2027.
118
But look back.
119
Look at your New Year's resolution for 2026, 2025, 2024.
120
What happened to them?
121
The answer might be nothing.
122
Yeah, I was feeling really motivated on New Year's Day.
123
So I made this huge commitment.
124
I never acted on it.
125
I know.
126
I've been there.
127
I myself last year told myself that from now on this year, I'm going to go to the gym four days a week.
128
Every single day, I'm going to run in the morning for 30 minutes, walk in the evening for 30 minutes.
129
And guess what?
130
I never did any of that because it was just too much.
131
This year I tried something else.
132
I told myself every day I want to do one small thing for my health.
133
It could be not eating a dessert.
134
It could be going for a 15 minute walk.
135
It could be doing a few push -ups or pull -ups or sit -ups at home.
136
Because the commitment was small, we're in October
137
and I have been able to do this every day I've done something for my health
138
so that's a huge mistake making a big commitment and
139
if you guys know me if you guys have been following my channel
140
and the things I teach I am a big fan of
141
15 minute study sessions sit down study for 15 minutes is
142
that enough probably no will that keep me consistent yes is consistency more important than how much you study definitely.
143
Be consistent first, then increase the number of hours.
144
And the fourth problem is how -tos.
145
How to learn words, how to study grammar, how not to forget words, how to use the words I've learned when I speak, how to speak more fluently.
146
And I know these questions bug you, they annoy you, And you need answers.
147
I totally understand this.
148
So I am here to present a solution.
149
And before I present the solution, let me clarify something just for the sake of transparency.
150
My solution is a mini course, but the mini course is free.
151
I'm not even going to ask you for your credit card or payment information, nothing.
152
It's for free.
153
and the reason why I created it was
154
because over the years I have seen a lot of confused students
155
so I want to give you the answer to all four questions with one mini course.
156
How will the mini course help you?
157
First of all, it provides you with the first step.
158
You don't have to worry about how to start.
159
Should I start with a book, a YouTube channel, a podcast, a tutor?
160
Forget all of that start with the mini course.
161
Two, what should I do after studying the first lesson?
162
You don't have to think about what to do next.
163
I am going to tell you what to do next.
164
I have designed the journey for you.
165
so you don't think about how to start
166
and you don't think about what to do next how much
167
of a commitment are we talking about 15 minutes a day
168

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.
