Criando lição...
1
Hey my friends, this is Tom and welcome back to English Unleashed.
2
Let me ask you a question.
3
Can you understand English but When it's time to speak.
4
your mind goes blank and you can't speak?
5
Well?
6
You're not alone.
7
Many learners understand a lot of English.
8
They can watch movies.
9
They can follow podcasts.
10
But, they still cannot speak.
11
Why?
12
In this episode, I will talk about that and.
13
I will give you five simple tips to help you start speaking more and better better.
14
As always, In this podcast, I will speak slowly and clearly.
15
so you can use it for shadowing.
16
You can listen, repeat, and try to match my words my rhythm, and my voice.
17
My goal is to help you practice both listening and speaking at the same time.
18
Let's begin!
19
Alright.
20
Let me tell you something important.
21
Understanding English.
22
And speaking English, are not the same thing.
23
Many learners say, "I understand almost everything." But I cannot speak.
24
That's very common.
25
And there is a reason for it.
26
When you understand, you are passive.
27
That means: You sit, You listen.
28
You read.
29
Your brain is receiving English.
30
You don't have to do anything.
31
You just need to know the meaning.
32
But speaking is very different.
33
Thank you.
34
When you speak, You are active.
35
You need to do many things at the same time.
36
You need to think of the words.
37
You need to organize your ideas.
38
You need to say the senses.
39
And you need to use correct sounds.
40
And you need to do it fast.
41
in real time.
42
This is hard.
43
even for advanced learners.
44
But here is the truth: most learners do not practice speaking.
45
Thank you they read grammar books they do listening exercises they watch movies They write in English.
46
These are good things, but they don't help you speak unless you also use your voice.
47
Speaking is a skill like cooking or swimming or dancing You only get better by doing it.
48
Not just thinking, not just watching, but doing.
49
And that's what we're going to work on today.
50
I want to help you speak more.
51
and feel more confident when you speak.
52
So now let me give you six simple tips to help you get started.
53
and start using your voice in English every day.
54
Tip #1: Don't wait for perfect grammar.
55
This is very important.
56
Many learners wait before they speak.
57
They think I will speak when my grammar is perfect.
58
I need to learn more first.
59
I don't want to make a mistake.
60
But the truth is, you do not need perfect grammar to speak.
61
You only need to be clear.
62
That means: Can the other person, Understand you?
63
If yes, then your English is working.
64
Listen to this: Yesterday I go to the park. Is it perfect grammar?
65
No. But do you understand the meaning?
66
Yes, that's what matters.
67
When children learn to speak.
68
They don't know grammar rules.
69
They say: "Me want juice." I know like this.
70
but everyone understands them.
71
And they get better. with time.
72
You can do the same.
73
Making mistakes is a good thing.
74
It means you are trying.
75
It means you are learning.
76
It means you are using English in real life.
77
Even native speakers make grammar mistakes. So.
78
Don't be afraid.
79
Don't wait!
80
Start speaking now with the grammar you have.
81
Use simple words.
82
Use short sentences.
83
And most important, Say what you want to say.
84
Over time, your grammar will improve.
85
But you will already be speaking.
86
And that's amazing.
87
So remember: Fluent with mistakes.
88
is better than silent with grammar.
89
Okay, fluent with mistakes is better than silent with grammar.
90
Speak first, Polish later.
91
You've got this.
92
Tip number two: learn chunks, not words.
93
Here is a big tip, my friend, and it can change how you learn English.
94
Don't study one word at a time.
95
Instead, learn chunks.
96
So, what are chunks?
97
chunks? are short phrases that people use every day in real life.
98
Not just one word, but a group of words that go together.
99
For example, you learn the word busy, but in real life people say I'm a bit busy right now.
100
I'm a bit...
101
Busy right now.
102
"Sorry, I've got a lot on my plate." "Sorry, I've got a lot on my plate." Let's talk later.
103
I'm swamped today.
104
Let's talk later.
105
I'm swamped today.
106
Each of these is a chunk.
107
When you learn chunks, something amazing happens.
108
You don't have to build sentences from zero, from scratch.
109
You don't have to stop and think.
110
Hmm.
111
How do I say this in English?
112
The phrase? is already in your brain ready to use
113
It's like blocks of language you can take and use in real life.
114
Can I help you?
115
I'm not sure.
116
That sounds great!
117
What do you mean?
118
These are real English.
119
This is how people speak.
120
When you use chunks like these, you sound more natural, more fluent.
121
And, more confident.
122
So, how do you learn chunks?
123
Here are some easy ways.
124
Listen to real conversations from podcasts, shows, movies.
125
Pay attention to the phrases people use again and again.
126
Write them down.
127
Not just one word.
128
Write the full phrase.
129
Like, I'll get back to you.
130
It depends on the situation.
131
That's a good question.
132
Then say them out loud.
133
Repeat them.
134
Practice them.
135
Use them in your own speech.
136
You can even record yourself and listen back.
137
Every time you hear a good phrase, Ask yourself, "Can I use this in my life?" Could I say this at work?
138
At a café?
139
with a friend, If yes, learn it.
140
Keep it.
141
and Use it.
142
So remember, don't just build English word by word.
143
Build it chunk by chunk.
144
Tip #3: Speak to yourself.
145
This tip is simple but very powerful.
146
If you want to speak English well, you must speak English every day.
147
But here is the problem.
148
Many learners say, But Tom, I have no one to talk to.
149
I don't live in an English -speaking country.
150
I don't know any native speakers.
151
I understand my friend.
152
But here is some good news.
153
You don't need a partner.
154
You don't need a teacher.
155
You don't even need a friend.
156
You can speak to yourself.
157
Yes, talk to yourself.
158
I know, it may sound a little strange, but trust me, this works.
159
And it works very well.
160
Speaking to yourself, is one of the best ways to practice English.
161
Why?
162
Because, You can do it anytime and anywhere.
163
At home, in your car, on a walk.
164
while cooking, even in the shower.
165
No schedule?
166
no pressure, Just you and your voice.
167
Now, What should you say?
168
Well, you can describe what you are doing.
169
I'm making coffee now.
170
It's raining outside.
171
I need to charge my phone.
172
Now, I'm opening the window.
173
You can talk about your day.
174
Today I feel tired.
175
I have a meeting at 10 o 'clock.
176
I want to go for a walk later.
177
You can ask yourself questions.
178
What do I want for dinner?
179
Why is this important to me?
180
How can I learn faster?
181
You can even act out short conversations by yourself.
182
Hello!
183
How can I help you today?
184
Yeah, I'd like a coffee please.
185
Sure.
186
Anything else?
187
No, thank you.
188
You can play both parts.
189
You can practice real -life situations, in your own space.
190
Now, you may ask, "Why is this helpful?" Because when you speak to yourself,
191
you train your brain to find words faster.
192
You build fluency without stress.
193
You learn to think in English.
194
It's like going to the gym, but for your brain and your mouth.
195
Thank you.
196
You are exercising your English every time you speak out loud. And the best part?
197
No one is watching.
198
No one is listening.
199
No one is judging.
200
You can make mistakes, you can try again, you can repeat as many times as you want.
201
So, If you speak to yourself every day, your brain will start to think in English.
202
You will stop translating.
203
You will feel more ready to speak with others.
204
you will feel more confident.
205
and more fluent.
206
Tip #4: Use AI Artificial Intelligence.
207
This tip is very important and very useful.
208
AI means artificial intelligence like ChatGPT or CoPilot or Pi the AI assistant.
209
You can ask it questions.
210
You can have a conversation.
211
You can speak and practice every day.
212
AI never gets tired.
213
It's always ready to talk.
214
And it won't judge your mistakes.
215
So, you may ask which AIs, can help you practice speaking.
216
My favorite is Chat GPT.
217
You can type or speak.
218
It can correct your senses.
219
It can help you practice dialogue.
220
Next one is Pi.
221
The Personal AI Assistant.
222
You can talk with it, and it speaks back with a soft, friendly voice.
223
The next one? is Copilot.
224
These apps even let you speak and listen in real time, like a real conversation.
225
Here's how you can use AI.
226
So try one of these.
227
Start a simple chat.
228
Say something like: Hi, I'm learning English.
229
Can we talk?
230
or, Let's practice a short conversation in a cafe.
231
Then speak or type your message.
232
The AI will respond.
233
You can reply again.
234
And the conversation continues.
235
It's a safe place to practice.
236
No stress?
237
no pressure, Just practice.
238
You can also ask the AI Please correct my English.
239
or, Can you speak slowly and simply with me?
240
It will help you.
241
It will repeat things.
242
And it will.
243
Explain words.
244
and you will learn while speaking.
245
So why is this helpful?
246
because You're not just studying English.
247
You are using English.
248
You are practicing real conversations.
249
You are training your brain to think in English.
250
and you are Building your fluency.
251
Step by step.
252
Tip number 5.
253
Use the 4 -3 -2 technique.
254
This is a powerful tip.
255
It's simple.
256
But, It helps your fluency grow fast.
257
Let me explain.
258
Choose a short topic.
259
It could be a story you heard.
260
It could be a podcast episode you listened to.
261
or just something that happened in your day.
262
Now.
263
Here's the technique: First, speak about the topic, for four minutes.
264
Speak slowly.
265
Tell the full story.
266
Use details.
267
Then, take a short break.
268
and speak about the same topic again but this time for only three minutes.
269
Now?
270
You need to speak a little faster.
271
You will say the same things But you must organize your thoughts better.
272
Finally, Speak again.
273
one more time for just two minutes.
274
Now you really need to speak smoothly.
275
No long pauses.
276
You know the story now.
277
You are more ready.
278
You say it clearly. and fluently.
279
Thank you.
280
This is a great technique. But why?
281
Because the more times you tell the story, the more automatic your English becomes.
282
You don't have to stop and think so much.
283
So, You already know the vocabulary.
284
You already know the senses.
285
and now you can say them faster and more fluently so Let's break it down again.
286
Step 1: Speak for 4 minutes, slow and full of detail.
287
Step 2: Speak for 3 minutes a little faster.
288
Step 3: Speak for 2 minutes, smooth and fluent.
289
You can record all these versions if you want.
290
You can listen back and hear your progress.
291
You will notice that your final version sounds stronger,
292
more confident, and more fluent.
293
Tip number six: use one sentence in many different ways.
294
So, take one sentence.
295
Just one simple sentence.
296
and practice saying it in many different ways.
297
This helps you think faster.
298
It helps you speak more naturally.
299
And it shows how flexible English can be.
300
Let me show you how it works.
301
Start with a very simple sentence.
302
For example, I went to the store.
303
Now change it little by little.
304
Add more detail.
305
I went to the store Yesterday.
306
So I went to the store yesterday.
307
to buy some bread.
308
I went to the store yesterday.
309
because we didn't have any food at home.
310
All right.
311
You can also change the feeling.
312
Thank you.
313
I had to go to the store again.
314
Thank you.
315
I went to the store, but it was already closed.
316
Guess what?
317
I went to the store.
318
and saw my old teacher.
319
You can also change the grammar.
320
I'm going to the store now.
321
I've just been to the store.
322
If I had gone to the store earlier, I wouldn't be hungry now.
323
You can also change the subject.
324
My sister went to the store.
325
Thank you.
326
Nobody went to the store.
327
So we ordered food online.
328
All of these are just small changes.
329
But together, They help you learn how to think quickly.
330
how to add details, how to use grammar in real situations,
331
and how to express different emotions.
332
This is real fluency.
333
You're not memorizing.
334
You are creating.
335
Okay.
336
In this episode of English unleashed.
337
We talked about why many learners can understand English.
338
but still find it hard to speak.
339
Remember, speaking takes practice.
340
Use your voice.

Sobre esta lição
Nesta lição, você vai entender por que muitas pessoas conseguem compreender inglês, mas se atrapalham ao falar, e aprender a transformar essa passividade em prática ativa. O vídeo, com fala lenta e clara, é perfeito para combinar exercícios de escuta e fala, ajudando você a melhorar a pronúncia em inglês e ganhar confiança na conversação. Vamos explorar dicas práticas e técnicas de shadowing para integrar o que você entende com o que você diz.
Vocabulário e frases chave
- Go blank: Ficar em branco (ex: "When it's time to speak, my mind goes blank" → "Quando é hora de falar, minha mente fica em branco").
- Passive (adjetivo): Passivo (no contexto de aprendizado: "Understanding is passive" → "Compreender é passivo").
- Active (adjetivo): Ativo (ex: "Speaking is active" → "Falar é ativo").
- Shadowing: Técnica de repetir imediatamente após o falante (usada para melhorar fluência e pronúncia).
- Real time: Em tempo real (ex: "You need to do it fast, in real time" → "Você precisa fazer isso rápido, em tempo real").
Dicas de prática
O shadowing é uma ferramenta poderosa, e o vídeo é ideal por sua velocidade controlada. Aqui estão dicas para usá-lo bem:
- Comece devagar: O Tom fala devagar, então ouça uma frase, pause e repita. Isso ajuda seu cérebro a associar sons e significados sem pressão. A chave é não se preocupar com a velocidade, mas com a precisão da pronúncia.
- Imite o ritmo e a entonação: Observe como o Tom usa pausas e acentua certas palavras. Repetir não é só falar as mesmas palavras, mas também capturar a essência da fala natural. Isso melhora não só a pronúncia, mas também a fluência.
- Use a velocidade do vídeo como aliada: Muitos sites de shadowing (ou "shadowing site") oferecem conteúdo variado, mas o slow English aqui permite focar em detalhes que em fala rápida passariam despercebidos. Pratique diariamente por 10 minutos para ver progressos.
- Registre sua voz: Compare sua gravação com o vídeo. Isso ajuda a identificar diferenças na pronúncia e no ritmo, tornando o aprendizado mais consciente.
- Transforme a passividade em ativa: Lembre-se: compreender é fácil, mas falar exige ação. Use as frases do vídeo para criar suas próprias sentenças. Por exemplo, se o Tom diz "My mind goes blank", você pode dizer "When I talk to strangers, my mind goes blank". Isso conecta o shadowing à prática de conversação em inglês real.
Com essas dicas, você não só aprende a falar, mas também a usar o inglês de forma mais natural. Lembre: a prática constante é o segredo para sair da zona de conforto e se tornar um falante confiante.
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.
