Hey, everyone.

Welcome back to Podcast and Chill on the Learn English Podcast channel.

Thanks for tuning in again.

We love having you here with us.

You know, Gwen, one thing I've noticed is how much our audience loves topics about developing their thinking skills.

That's true, Leo.

It makes sense.

They're probably looking for ways to improve their English learning process.

Absolutely.

Speaking of improving, Gwen, have you ever heard about growth mindset and fixed mindset? Of course, Leo.

A growth mindset is all about believing that your abilities can grow with effort and learning, while a fixed mindset assumes your abilities are set in stone.

Oh, so like, if I believe I can be the next big comedian by practicing every day, that's a growth mindset?

Well, let's not get carried away, Leo.

But yes, it's about believing in improvement.

Great.

Because today's topic is all about how adopting a growth mindset can help you in your language learning journey and beyond.

That's right.

Stick around and we'll break it all down.

And don't forget, we've created a free PDF with tips and tricks.

Check it out in the description or comments below.

So, Gwen, growth mindset, it sounds fancy, but what is it really?

Well, Leo, it's the belief that your abilities, intelligence, and skills can improve through hard work, learning, and persistence.

So it's like saying, I'm not good at this yet.

Exactly.

It's about focusing on progress, not perfection.

People with a growth mindset see mistakes as stepping stones, not roadblocks.

That's refreshing.

So, if I mess up my English grammar, it's not the end of the world?

Not at all.

It's just a chance to learn and get better.

In fact, studies by Stanford professor Carol Dweck show that embracing challenges helps you grow stronger mentally.

Oh, I've heard about her work.

She talks about how kids who believe they can improve do better in school, right?

Exactly.

And it's not just kids.

This works for adults, too.

It's like the phrase, you're never too old to learn.

I like that.

But how do I actually develop this magical mindset?

Start by seeing challenges as opportunities.

For example, if you find English pronunciation difficult, think of it as a fun puzzle to solve.

Oh, like trying to say rural without twisting my tongue?

Exactly.

And don't shy away from mistakes.

Remember, every mistake is proof that you're trying.

That's comforting.

But sometimes, failure feels so personal.

Like, what if I'm just not good at something?

That's where you reframe your thinking.

Instead of saying, I can't do this, ask, what can I do to get better?

I like that perspective.

So, effort plays a big role here?

Absolutely.

Think of effort like watering a plant.

Without it, nothing grows.

And what about persistence?

How does that fit in?

Persistence is key.

It's like climbing a mountain.

Slow and steady wins the race.

You keep going, one step at a time, even when it's hard.

So, no shortcuts then?

Not if you want real growth.

Shortcuts might give you quick results, but they don't build the long-term skills or resilience you need.

But isn't it tempting to take the easy way out?

Of course it is.

But think about it this way.

When you take a shortcut, you miss out on valuable lessons along the way.

So, the journey is just as important as the destination?

Exactly.

Imagine learning English just by memorizing words for a test.

You might pass the test, but will you be able to have a real conversation?

I get it now.

It's like building a house without a strong foundation.

It might look good for a while, but it won't last.

That's a great analogy, Leo.

Growth mindset is about taking the time to build that strong foundation.

And what about patience?

Do you think it's connected to this whole no shortcuts idea?

Definitely.

Patience teaches you to value the effort you're putting in.

It's like planting a tree.

You water it every day, but it takes time to grow and bear fruit.

Oh, I like that image.

So every time I make a mistake, it's like watering my tree a little more?

Exactly.

Mistakes are part of growth.

They show you're trying, and trying is the first step to improving.

And when I finally see the fruit, it'll taste even sweeter because I've worked for it.

That's the mindset.

Growth isn't about perfection.

It's about progress.

Got it.

From now on, no shortcuts for me.

I'll water my tree every day, even if it takes time.

And trust me, Leo, it'll be worth it.

Let's take a closer look at five useful phrases from today's conversation.

1. Growth mindset – a belief that abilities and skills can improve through effort and learning.

A growth mindset helps you see mistakes as lessons instead of failures.

100

2. Face the music – to confront a difficult situation rather than avoiding it.

101

Instead of avoiding challenges, it's better to face the music and grow from them.

102

A stepping stone, a step or stage that helps you move closer to your goal.

103

Every small success is a stepping stone toward greater achievements.

104

Break the mold, to do something differently and move away from traditional ways.

105

Adopting a growth mindset means breaking the mold of thinking you're just not good enough.

106

5. Go the extra mile – to make extra effort to achieve something.

107

People with a growth mindset are willing to go the extra mile to improve themselves.

108

Now let's dive into some discussion questions.

109

Question one.

110

What's one challenge you faced recently and how did you overcome it?

111

For me, I tried learning a new skill, but it was frustrating at first.

112

Then I reminded myself that it's all part of the process.

113

That's a great example, Gwen.

114

It's inspiring to hear how you stayed motivated.

115

Question two.

116

How can we apply a growth mindset in learning English?

117

I think the key is to focus on progress, not perfection.

118

Celebrate small wins, like mastering a new word or phrase.

119

Absolutely.

120

And don't be afraid to make mistakes.

121

They're stepping stones to improvement.

122

What about you, listeners?

123

How do you approach challenges in learning?

124

Let us know in the comments.

125

So, Gwen, we've talked about growth mindset and overcoming challenges.

126

What's next?

127

Let's talk about feedback.

128

Oh, feedback.

129

You mean like when I tell a joke and you say it's not funny?

130

Well, not quite.

131

Feedback is a tool to improve, not just criticism.

132

I guess that depends on how you take it, right?

133

That's the key.

134

A growth mindset helps us see feedback as an opportunity to grow, not a personal attack.

135

That makes sense.

136

So, how can we take feedback positively?

137

Start by asking yourself, what can I learn from this?

138

Instead of thinking, they're being mean, think, how can this help me improve?

139

I like that.

140

It's like turning lemons into lemonade.

141

That's right.

142

Another thing to keep in mind is surrounding yourself with positivity.

143

You mean like hanging out with people who lift you up?

144

Yes.

145

Whether it's friends, colleagues, or a community, being around people who encourage a growth mindset can make a huge difference.

146

Oh, so it's like planting yourself in good soil to grow.

147

Good comparison, Leo.

148

Okay, but what about practical steps?

149

How do we actually build a growth mindset?

150

Start by trying something new every month.

151

It could be learning a skill, trying a recipe, or even taking on a small project at work.

152

That sounds fun.

153

What else?

154

Ask more questions instead of making negative statements.

155

Instead of saying, I'm not good at this, ask, how can I get better at this?

156

I like that.

157

It's like flipping the script in your head.

158

That's the idea.

159

Finally, keep a journal of what you learn each day.

160

That's great advice, Gwen.

161

I feel like asking questions instead of focusing on what we can't do helps a lot.

162

Yeah, Leo.

163

It's all about shifting your perspective.

164

For example, instead of saying, I can't understand this grammar, you could ask, what steps can I take to learn it better?

165

Oh, like turning a wall into a door.

166

That's powerful.

167

Exactly.

168

It's about seeing challenges as opportunities.

169

What about when things don't work out, though?

170

Like, you try something new and fail.

171

That can be discouraging.

172

That's a big part of a growth mindset, Leo.

173

Instead of seeing failure as the end, you can view it as feedback.

174

So, it's like a roadmap.

175

Failure shows you where to take a better route.

176

For instance, if you try to speak English and make mistakes, that's not failure.

177

It's a sign of progress.

178

Hmm.

179

I guess every mistake is like a stepping stone.

180

That's a great way to think about it.

181

Let's talk more about creating a supportive environment.

182

You mean surrounding yourself with people who inspire you?

183

Exactly.

184

Think about it.

185

If you're around people who encourage you, you're more likely to keep going even when things get tough.

186

So it's like having a cheering squad for your goals.

187

Yes, and it's also important to be that kind of person for others.

188

Like a positivity ripple effect.

189

That's right.

190

The more positive energy you put out, the more you'll get back.

191

And what about those practical steps we mentioned earlier?

192

Let's expand on that.

193

Sure.

194

Here's a simple example.

195

If you're learning a language, set a goal to learn five new words a day.

196

It's small but adds up over time.

197

That's manageable.

198

What else?

199

Another idea is to track your progress.

200

Write down what you learn each day.

201

It helps you see how far you've come.

202

Oh, so it's like giving yourself a high five in writing.

203

Yes.

204

These small steps can make a big difference over time.

205

Listeners, what small steps have helped you grow?

206

Let us know in the comments.

207

Let's pick five phrases from today's discussion that can inspire us.

208

1. Build from the ground up, to start something from the very beginning and develop it step by step.

209

She built her language skills from the ground up by practicing daily.

210

2. Learn through trial and error, to improve by trying different methods and learning from mistakes.

211

He learned to cook through trial and error, testing different recipes until he got it right.

212

3. Take ownership – to accept responsibility for your actions and focus on making progress.

213

Example, taking ownership of her studies helped her improve her grades significantly.

214

4. Keep pushing forward – to continue making progress even when things are difficult.

215

Example, despite the challenges, he kept pushing forward and achieved his goals.

216

5. Shift your perspective.

217

To change the way you view a situation to find new opportunities or solutions.

218

She shifted her perspective and saw challenges as opportunities to grow.

219

Let's start with a question, Gwen.

220

How do you personally step out of your comfort zone?

221

Hmm.

222

I'd say I challenge myself by trying something unfamiliar, like speaking in front of a crowd.

223

It's nerve-wracking but rewarding.

224

Wow, that sounds brave.

225

For me, I try smaller things, like learning to bake a new cake.

226

It's less scary but still makes me step out a little.

227

That's a great start.

228

Taking small steps is still growth.

229

Okay, here's another one for you, Leo.

230

What's one failure you've experienced, and how did you turn it around?

231

I remember burning my first attempt at making bread, but instead of giving up, I tried again the next day.

232

The second loaf was pretty good.

233

That's a fun example.

234

It shows persistence really pays off.

235

And you, Gwen?

236

How do you handle failure?

237

I try to reflect on what went wrong and learn from it.

238

Like when I didn't do well in a presentation, I practiced more and asked for feedback.

239

It made all the difference.

240

That's inspiring.

241

What about you, audience?

242

How do you overcome challenges or failure?

243

Let us know in the comments below.

244

That wraps up today's episode about building a growth mindset.

245

We hope you feel inspired to embrace challenges, learn from feedback, and keep pushing forward.

246

And remember, even small steps can lead to big changes.

247

Don't forget to check out the free PDF in the description for tips and exercises to help you practice today's topic.

248

Also, let us know in the comments, what's one step you'll take to develop your growth mindset starting today?

249

We'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences.

250

Thank you for joining us on Podcast and Chill, and we'll see you in the next episode.

251

Take care, keep learning, and keep growing.

252

Bye for now.

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.
