It came out sounding like a completely different word.
33
Everyone laughed, including me.

Then I rushed to the correct building.
63
Were you late for the meeting?
64
A little, but when I explained what happened, everyone laughed too.
65
It turned into a funny story instead of a stressful one.
66
That's the power of saying it's okay instead of panicking.
67
Exactly.
68
Saying things like everyone makes mistakes really helps diffuse those awkward moments.
69
I agree.
70
Whenever something small goes wrong now, I just remind myself this isn't a big deal and probably nobody will even remember it tomorrow.
71
That's such a healthy way to think.
72
It takes the pressure off completely.
73
What's the most awkward mistake you've made in public?

So, Ben, after all these stories, the coffee, the forgotten word, the wrong location, how do you feel about mistakes now compared to before?
101
Honestly, I feel so much lighter.
102
There was a time when one small mistake could ruin my whole day.
103
Now, I just move on within a few minutes.
104
I know exactly what you mean.
105
I used to replay embarrassing moments in my head over and over, even days later.
106
Same here.
107
I remember after that presentation, I kept thinking, everyone probably thinks I'm not good at my job.
108
But honestly, nobody even mentioned it again.
109
That's the funny thing about mistakes.
110
We think everyone is watching and judging, but most people forget about it almost immediately.
111
Exactly.
112
And I've started saying I learned something new instead of feeling bad about it.
113
It completely changes how the mistake feels.
114
I love that phrase.
115
Instead of thinking, I failed, you think, okay, now I know something I didn't know before.
116
Right.
117
Like with my presentation, instead of thinking, I'm bad at public speaking,
118
I told myself, now I know I need to practice this word more before next time.
119
That's such a healthy shift.
120
And saying next time, I'll do better feels so much more encouraging than being harsh on yourself.
121
Definitely.
122
It keeps you moving forward instead of feeling stuck in that embarrassing moment.
123
I think that's really the secret to all of this, moving on quickly.
124
The faster you let go, the faster your confidence comes back.
125
I've noticed something interesting too.
126
The people who laugh at their mistakes actually seem more confident, not less.
127
That's so true.
128
It's not about being perfect all the time.
129
It's about not being afraid to keep trying, even after something goes wrong.
130
And honestly, once you stop taking small mistakes so seriously, everyday life just feels easier.
131
It really does.
132
I used to feel so much pressure to get it right every single time I spoke English. And now?
133
Now, if I say something wrong, I just smile, correct myself, and keep talking.
134
It's not a big deal anymore.
135
That's exactly the mindset we want listeners to have.
136
Mistakes aren't something to fear, they're just part of learning and growing.
137
Exactly.
138
So next time something small goes wrong, just smile and say, well, that's not a big deal.
139
What do you usually say to yourself after making a mistake?
140
We'd love to hear your answer.
141

Larry.

O falante usa 32 contrações e formas reduzidas, como don't, I'm, we'd. Diga-as na forma curta, do jeito que você ouve.
- Os sons de “sh” e “zh”: presentation /ˌpɹɛzn̩ˈteɪʃn̩/, harsh /ˈhɑɹʃ/, rush /ɹʌʃ/, foolish /ˈfuː.lɪʃ/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/
- Palavras longas — acerte a sílaba tônica: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, difficulty /ˈdɪfɪkəlti/, accidentally /ˌæk.sɪˈdɛnt(ə)li/, apologize /əˈpɑləˌd͡ʒaɪz/, receptionist /ɹɪˈsɛp.ʃə.nɪst/

- /l/ final — a língua toca o céu da boca, não vira “u”: spill /spɪl/, stressful /ˈstɹɛsfəl/
- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: harsh /ˈhɑɹʃ/, humour /ˈhjuːmɚ/, habit /ˈhæb.ɪt/, mishap /ˈmɪshæp/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.

- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como silly, awkward, harsh.
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.
