Hello lovely students and welcome back to English with Lucy.

I am going to make a bold claim.

You need more speaking practice.

You do, it's true.

How do I know this?

Well, anyone learning a foreign language should practice speaking regularly, ideally every day.

But let's face it, That's not always easy.

Time constraints, location limitations, money,

scheduling conflicts with tutors, and sometimes just the anxiety of speaking with another person.

All of this makes speaking daily a real challenge.

Today, I'm going to solve this for you.

I will share four amazing self-study speaking plans that will eradicate these problems

and will transform your English faster than any method you've tried before.

These plans use Langwa, an incredibly powerful AI conversation practice app.

When I tried Langwa for the first time,

I loved it so much, I invested in it.

So technically, I'm sponsoring myself here.

Throughout this lesson, you will see exactly why this app is revolutionary.

And yeah, I know there are loads of tools claiming to be AI powered

but so many of them fall short oh and did i mention

that you can chat with me on langwa we've created an ai lucy clone

and she will teach you english she will practice conversation with you langwa genuinely delivers results the best thing is

that you can try it for free you can scan the qr code there

or click the link in the description box it's really important

that you create an account on the website first then you can download

and log into the app you can try it out for free the free plan has a daily limit

if you want to upgrade to a pro plan you could

save 20 just use the code ewl20 right let's dive into the four game-changing study plans the first one

a book club in your pocket.

Transform your reading into the ultimate conversation practice.

And by the way, if you're not already reading regularly to improve your English,

consider this your friendly but forceful reminder.

Daily reading is one of the best habits you can develop.

Now, instead of reading silently and forgetting most of what you read,

this technique turns every chapter into an exciting discussion with my AI clone on Langua if you want to try it out.

You'll build sophisticated vocabulary and deepen your understanding of what you're reading all at the same time.

Here's what we'll do.

Choose any book you love,

whether it's a graded reader,

a classic novel, or contemporary fiction.

After finishing a chapter, open up Langwa and tell your AI partner what you've just read.

For newer books, give a quick summary to help the AI understand the context.

Then prompt something like this.

I've just finished chapter three of Pride and Prejudice,

where Elizabeth really clashes with Mr. Darcy.

Let's have a book club conversation about her reaction.

Ask me thoughtful questions and challenge my ideas.

That's brilliant timing.

That early class really sets up everything that follows, doesn't it?

With this simple approach, your AI instantly becomes the best book club partner you've ever had.

You can discuss themes, analyse characters,

or explore anything that interests you.

As you chat, you can save new vocabulary that catches your attention.

Langua makes this incredibly easy.

For example, tolerable.

Add it to my vocabulary there.

Another valuable feature is that Langwa gives you automatic, real-time corrections.

Just make sure you have the auto-correct option activated in your chat settings.

I recommend written corrections so it doesn't mess with the flow of the conversation,

though many students love the verbal corrections where the AI gently corrects you out loud during the chat.

You can also go back and look at your corrections at any time.

It's amazing.

Now, if you want to take this even further,

try immersive role play in call mode.

You change to call mode in your chat settings.

We'll try call mode with Adam this time.

Step directly into your book's world by prompting something like this.

Hey Lucy, how's it going?

I'm reading Harry Potter.

Let's roleplay.

You're Ron and I'm Harry right after my name was pulled from the Goblet of Fire.

Blimey, Harry.

This is mental.

How do you think you'll manage the tasks ahead?

We'll have to stick together and keep focused, no matter what.

He got right into character, didn't he?

If you enjoy this exercise,

you can create a custom prompt using the custom option under Langwa's role play section.

Do a role play, custom.

This role play approach is particularly powerful because it forces you out of your comfort zone.

It challenges you to use vocabulary you probably wouldn't produce in most everyday conversations.

And Langwa's call mode is a game changer.

It makes conversations feel natural,

so it's perfect for practicing while walking or doing the housework.

So why is this method so effective?

Well, your AI partner gives you completely personalise discussion time,

focusing on precisely the themes and characters that interest you most.

You'll never have to wait your turn or feel rushed to move on,

and you can explore ideas at whatever depth excites you.

This isn't just reading, this is next level English learning that makes literature come alive.

Now let's move on to our next plan.

It still involves reading, but if you're not into reading novels,

then this one's for you it's the daily news debate our

second study plan transforms current events into dynamic speaking practice this will build your critical thinking skills

and expand your political

and social vocabulary here is how it works each morning choose

an interesting article from your favorite news site now i personally love using the bbc but any reliable news source is perfect.

You can even choose news websites specifically designed for language learners.

And here's a little inside secret.

100

Later this year, Langwa will actually provide news articles directly in the app with a dedicated news chat feature.

101

But for now, this method that I'm about to show you gives you complete control over the topics you want to discuss.

102

Next, copy and paste your chosen article into Langwa using the import content feature on the web app.

103

Just click my imports and then select import content.

104

Langwa then creates an interactive document where you can easily save new vocabulary.

105

If there's a word or phrase you'd like to learn simply tap it

106

or for new phrases tap and hold the first word

107

and then tap on the last word of the phrase then select add to vocabulary.

108

You can review them later with Langwa's flashcards and have a conversation specifically targeting these new terms.

109

Another remarkable feature is that Langwa can automatically generate audio from your uploaded article.

110

This means you can listen while reading,

111

practicing pronunciation and shadowing at the same time.

112

The voices in Langwa are impressively authentic,

113

almost like listening to a podcast.

114

Once you're comfortable with the article,

115

grab your phone and head into the have a debate section on the langwa app scroll down

116

and select custom choose a topic your ai conversation partner will greet you

117

and then you can prompt them with something like i've just

118

read a news article about why taking your dog to work

119

is good for your mental health please take the opposite stance with

120

that prompt the ai engages you in a realistic

121

and lively debate immediately correcting your grammar and providing valuable suggestions when you get stuck.

122

You can review these corrections in your chat history whenever you like.

123

I highly recommend taking quick notes on repeated mistakes to prevent making them in future conversations,

124

but you can also download the PDF summaries of your corrections.

125

Now here's what really takes this study plan to the next level.

126

You can practice different topics with a wide variety of accents.

127

Have one of your British

128

AI conversation partners discuss topics affecting Europe

129

and then switch to an American AI conversation partner for news articles related to North America.

130

This is something you absolutely cannot do with an in-person tutor unless you want to spend loads of money on different tutors.

131

It's brilliant for strengthening your listening skills to understand different varieties of English.

132

And of course, don't forget about the call mode feature.

133

It really comes to life in this study plan.

134

Okay, are you ready to start the next study plan?

135

Passive podcasts to spontaneous speaking.

136

So this next plan brilliantly transforms passive podcast listening into active speaking practice.

137

Perfect for boosting your listening skills and building real conversational fluency.

138

Here's how you do it.

139

First, you choose a podcast episode that interests you.

140

True crime, business, comedy, science, anything.

141

Anything you're excited to listen to.

142

If you're new to podcasts,

143

you can select from Langwa's featured podcasts or search from any other podcast via the search bar.

144

Listen to a five to ten minute segment of the podcast twice,

145

first at a normal speed and then a slightly slower speed if needed.

146

If you choose to listen to a podcast on Langwa in the podcast tab,

147

which I highly recommend you do,

148

you can generate a transcript directly in Langwa.

149

It's super helpful.

150

Now it's speaking practice time.

151

Go to the Langwa app or website and click design my own.

152

Enter your custom prompt.

153

This is excellent for practicing regularly on similar topics.

154

Here's a great prompt example.

155

I've just listened to a podcast episode.

156

Let me summarize the main points and then you ask follow-up questions to help me practice clearly explaining complex topics.

157

The AI instantly engages you,

158

offering corrections on grammar and vocabulary,

159

all while maintaining natural conversation flow.

160

Here are some additional prompts to enhance your podcast practice.

161

I listened to a fantastic podcast episode about topic.

162

I'll explain the key points,

163

challenge my understanding with probing questions,

164

or help me use these three expressions from today's podcast,

165

create realistic scenarios where I can use them naturally

166

or even act as the podcast host and interview me about today's episode on topic.

167

Ask interview questions to help me express opinions clearly.

168

Why does this method work so brilliantly?

169

Because you're engaging directly with real language from proficient speakers in genuine conversations, debates and discussions.

170

This real-world practice prepares you far better than textbook dialogues ever could.

171

Right, let's move on to our last study plan.

172

This is natural everyday conversations.

173

This tackles something absolutely crucial that so many language courses overlook.

174

Natural, spontaneous conversations that you have in everyday life.

175

This is exactly where genuine confidence and fluency are built.

176

Here's how you can easily integrate this plan into your daily routine.

177

Start each morning with a relaxed 15-minute chat using prompts that mirror real-life interactions.

178

Simply open Langwa, click chat about anything, and then general conversation.

179

Then prompt your AI partner with something natural and casual,

180

like imagine we're two friends catching up.

181

Ask me about my day,

182

my plans, and anything interesting I've done recently.

183

Now, if you feel nervous about jumping into a conversation,

184

just tap the light bulb icon after the AI responds,

185

and you'll see suggested replies to choose from.

186

It's a gentle way to build confidence.

187

You can still speak freely and get corrections,

188

but you have that safety net when you need it.

189

And as you become more confident,

190

you can gradually phase it out.

191

Now, I strongly recommend giving the AI specific instructions to enhance your practice,

192

such as, please focus on natural phrasal verbs and idioms during our conversations,

193

and please provide corrections if I use them incorrectly.

194

This approach helps you learn the everyday phrases native speakers use,

195

but instead of isolated exercises,

196

you learn through natural contextual conversations.

197

For a fun challenge, explore the chat with lots of slang option under chat about anything.

198

This is ideal if you're at an intermediate level or higher and want to feel comfortable with real colloquial English.

199

Another fantastic exercise is storytelling.

200

Share your own experiences and let Langwa respond naturally, asking follow-up questions.

201

This will really build your ability to tell engaging stories and anecdotes.

202

You could even try the collaborative stories exercise under Vocab and Games,

203

where you and the AI take turns creating a story sentence by sentence.

204

It's perfect for building your creativity and spontaneous language use.

205

Honestly, with Langwa, the conversation possibilities are almost endless.

206

You have to try it out.

207

You're going to be mind blown,

208

especially when you end up talking with my clone.

209

It's a very surreal experience.

210

Now, these study plans I've discussed provide a clear starting point

211

to help you confidently explore the full potential of this powerful AI tool.

212

It's just so much more effective than traditional self-study methods.

213

You get instant feedback.

214

This eliminates bad habits.

215

You're in an anxiety-free environment,

216

which will really accelerate your progress.

217

And thirdly, it's available 24-7.

218

This will maximize your practice opportunities.

219

So here's my suggestion to you.

220

I want you to set yourself a 30-day challenge.

221

I want you to commit to just 10 minutes of daily speaking practice with Langua for 30 days.

222

As I said, you can try it for free.

223

You need to create an account on the website before signing into the app.

224

There's a daily limit on the free plan.

225

If you want to upgrade to a pro plan,

226

I can offer you 20% off with my code EWL20.

227

The QR code is here,

228

or click the link in the description box.

229

I can't wait to hear about your experiences in the comments.

230

I will see you in the next video.

231

Bye!

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.
