1
So, I've been teaching English for nearly 20 years and I've been learning languages for even longer.
2
So, today I'm going to share with you five big truths that everyone learning English should know.
3
I did have 20 truths,
4
but I thought not many people would watch a video with 20 things.
5
So, here they are.
6
So, the first truth I want to share with you is that you can't buy English.
7
You can buy courses and teachers and apps,
8
but you can't buy real engagement with the language.
9
What do I mean?
10
mean you can't outsource the skills the four skills reading writing listening speaking you have to do
11
that okay and i think a lot of people don't think about this
12
or realize this i've taught so many students in my life maybe a thousand
13
or more than a thousand and i've had parents come up to me and give me wads of cash, right?
14
Lots of cash at me saying, teach my child English.
15
Like they can just buy it.
16
You can't buy it.
17
That student needs to put in the work.
18
They have to engage with the language.
19
They need the right skills, the right habits.
20
So I want to say to you sure you can buy an app
21
or a course or anything like that but just know
22
that it depends on you at the end of the day my recommendation is sure choose one resource
23
and go deep with that resource don't choose ten different resources
24
and you don't even need to buy anything just choose a YouTube video like one of my podcast episodes.
25
And you can spend a week on that episode.
26
So you will learn the vocabulary,
27
the phrases, practice shadowing, maybe answer some questions of your own.
28
Join a discussion group and talk about the things from the video.
29
There are so many things you can do with just one free resource.
30
Alright guys, it's starting to rain,
31
so I hope we can finish this video.
32
We've actually tried to do this video three days in a row,
33
and every single day it was just a downpour.
34
That means heavy rain.
35
So, my next truth for you is that passive English creates passive results.
36
And because so many students spend hours and hours around English just watching videos,
37
but never speaking or repeating or engaging with the content,
38
So passive activities are still important, right?
39
They can still help you with sounds and rhythm and vocabulary.
40
But I would say real results come from active English, active activities.
41
So speaking out loud, writing,
42
journaling, doing dictation, where you listen and you write down what you hear.
43
Pausing and repeating.
44
Shadowing.
45
I have a big, well,
46
I have a controversial opinion about shadowing.
47
I think I will make another video about that.
48
If you want that, let me know in the comments and put shadowing because I have a really good video for that.
49
Other things you can do is just having real conversations,
50
making lots of mistakes and correcting them.
51
Because your brain learns much faster when you actually participate.
52
So the third truth is always be very careful walking into a field when there is a bull.
53
Sorry, I was just joking.
54
Well, I'm not joking.
55
You do need to be careful.
56
But the real tip three is motivation fades, habits remain.
57
You see, many people think that successful learners are more motivated,
58
more inspired, or more passionate.
59
And that might be true.
60
But if your English depends only on motivation,
61
you will constantly stop and restart.
62
And I know this all too well,
63
okay, in my own language learning journey too.
64
And what I've noticed is the most successful students I've met and just language learners all have one thing in common.
65
And it is consistency.
66
And that comes from discipline, habits, routines and systems.
67
So for example, maybe you listen to English every morning while you're making coffee.
68
Maybe you check your vocabulary,
69
you review vocabulary for 10 minutes as soon as you get home.
70
Or you practice speaking regularly every week,
71
regularly being the operative word.
72
And this leads perfectly to my next point.
73
my next truth is very simple
74
and it is you improve at speaking by speaking it's
75
that simple i've met
76
so many students who just don't practice speaking they don't speak
77
with others they don't do self-talk they don't meet native speakers
78
so in any way you can practice speaking so
79
if your question is should i practice with ai
80
or a teacher yes yes to both okay ai yes teacher yes
81
or should i have should i join a speaking group
82
or do one-on-one classes yes it doesn't matter just make sure you're practicing speaking practicing with ai is really useful
83
and it's quite cheap you don't need to buy any apps
84
really i use chat gpt you can use whatever you want
85
but make sure you also practice with real people because
86
if you don't you will freeze when you meet native speakers
87
or when you go out in groups you need to make yourself feel a little bit uncomfortable okay so practice speaking.
88
Now, how do we get out of here i think it's this way
89
my next truth is probably the hardest one to hear
90
and it is fear is holding most learners back
91
that means fear is stopping you from reaching your goal not intelligence not talent not even grammar fear Fear of being judged,
92
fear of being laughed at,
93
fear of making mistakes, fear of sounding stupid,
94
fear of having a strong accent,
95
fear of not sounding perfect.
96
There is a long list, right?
97
I'm sure you can relate to one of these fears.
98
And I really believe that this is one of the main things stopping you from becoming a fluent speaker.
99
I have taught hundreds and hundreds of students and some of them they know the grammar,
100
they know the vocabulary, but when it's time to speak they just freeze.
101
They freeze in front of native speakers
102
and this is the biggest problem I have seen in the
103
past 20 years probably um now i have done a playlist on these problems
104
and i give you some really useful tips
105
and activities to help you overcome these issues
106
so i'll put a link somewhere here in the video
107
and please if this is a problem for you watch that playlist and i'm i'm sure it will help right well
108
these were my five truths from being a teacher
109
and a language learner for so many years I feel
110
so old but I hope you enjoyed it let me know
111
which truth you relate to the most anyway that's it from me
112
but I'll see you in the next episode bye bye Oh,
113
take us back past the fence in stone Wind in the branches carved our names in the bone

Почему стоит практиковать разговорный английский с этим видео?

Практика разговорного английского является ключевым аспектом в изучении языка. Это видео, основанное на опыте преподавания английского на протяжении 20 лет, демонстрирует, насколько важно активно взаимодействовать с языком. Вы можете просто смотреть видео, но без активного участия результаты будут минимальными. Говорите вслух, повторяйте фразы и обсуждайте содержание с другими. Это поможет не только запомнить новые слова и выражения, но и улучшить произношение.

Грамматика и выражения в контексте

В видео используются несколько ключевых структур, которые полезно знать при практике разговорного английского:

  • “You can’t buy English.” - Эта фраза подчеркивает, что изучение языка требует усилий, а не только ресурсов.
  • “You have to engage with the language.” - Важно активно участвовать в изучении, чтобы добиться успеха.
  • “Passive English creates passive results.” - Это выражение объясняет, что пассивное восприятие языка дает лишь ограниченные результаты, в отличие от активных видов взаимодействия.
  • “Join a discussion group.” - Участие в обсуждениях помогает углубить понимание и улучшить разговорные навыки.

Распространенные ловушки произношения

В ходе видео можно встретить некоторые слова и фразы, которые могут вызвать затруднения при произнесении:

  • "Engagement" - это слово может быть сложно произнести из-за сочетания звуков.
  • "Passive" - часто бывает трудным для обучения произношение, особенно если ваша родная речь имеет другую интонацию.
  • "Results" - акцент на этом слове следует также практиковать, чтобы звуки были четкими и отчетливыми.

Используйте подход shadowspeak для практики этих выражений. Уделите время shadowspeaks, чтобы проанализировать произношение и интонацию. Пробуя shadow speech, вы сможете значительно улучшить свои навыки разговорного английского. Не забывайте, что для достижения успеха необходимо регулярно практиковать и повторять услышанное в видео.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
