In this video, I am going to help you take a very important step towards speaking English fluently.

В этом видео я помогу вам сделать очень важный шаг к свободному владению английским языком.

So watch this video carefully until the end.

Так что внимательно посмотрите это видео до конца.

My name is Matty and welcome to this Slow English podcast.

Меня зовут Мэтти, и добро пожаловать в этот подкаст Slow English.

Let me ask you a question.

Позвольте задать вам вопрос.

When you are alone with yourself and you are quiet and you are thinking.

Когда ты остаёшься наедине с собой, когда вокруг тихо и ты погружён в размышления.

You hear an inner voice.

Ты слышишь внутренний голос.

That inner voice, what language does it speak?

Этот внутренний голос — на каком языке он говорит?

Think about it.

Подумайте об этом.

You're alone, you're thinking, and you hear that inner voice.

Ты один, ты размышляешь, и слышишь тот внутренний голос.

I would say that is in your mother tongue.

Я бы сказал, что это на вашем родном языке.

If you're from Italy, you hear that in Italian.

Если вы из Италии, вы слышите это на итальянском языке.

If you're from China, you hear that in Chinese.

Если вы из Китая, вы слышите это на китайском языке.

If you can shift that inner voice from your mother tongue to English, you will become fluent.

Если ты сможешь перевести этот внутренний голос с родного языка на английский, ты станешь свободно им владеть.

I am guaranteeing this.

Я это гарантирую.

This is my promise to you.

Это моё обещание тебе.

So in this video, we're going to figure out how to do that.

Итак, в этом видео мы разберёмся, как это сделать.

First, let's understand why it happens.

Сначала давайте разберёмся, почему это происходит.

Let me paint you a little picture here.

Позвольте мне нарисовать вам небольшую картину.

Here's your brain and this is your mother tongue and next to it is English.

Вот ваш мозг, вот ваш родной язык, а рядом с ним — английский.

When you want to say something or when you want to think about something, when you want to express yourself,

Когда ты хочешь что-то сказать, или подумать о чём-то, или выразить себя,

your brain reaches out to whichever is closest of the two.

ваш мозг выбирает то из двух, что находится ближе всего.

Which is closer to your brain now?

Что сейчас ближе к вашему мозгу?

It's your mother tongue.

Это твой родной язык.

so your brain reaches to your mother tongue and then your mother tongue reaches to english

так что твой мозг обращается к родному языку, а потом уже с родного языка — к английскому.

between english and your mother tongue something important happens it is called translation

Между английским и вашим родным языком происходит нечто важное — это называется перевод.

because from your mother tongue you get

потому что из своего родного языка ты получаешь

that idea you have to translate to english from english you have to get it back to your mother tongue

Эту идею, которую ты пытаешься перевести с английского на английский, нужно вернуть обратно на твой родной язык.

and your brain will then understand it so each time you want to say something or you want to understand something

и тогда ваш мозг поймёт это, так что каждый раз, когда вы захотите что-то сказать или понять.

your brain reaches to your mother tongue your mother tongue reaches to english translation happens

ваш мозг обращается к родному языку, ваш родной язык обращается к английскому, и происходит перевод.

and then it reaches to your brain translation in itself is the biggest blocker of fluency

а затем доходит до вашего мозга — сам процесс перевода является главным препятствием для беглости речи.

because translation inherently involves delay when your brain starts translating something there is a delay right

потому что перевод по своей сути связан с задержкой, когда ваш мозг начинает что-то переводить, возникает задержка, верно?

because it has to go from one language to another

потому что это должно перейти с одного языка на другой

and then from another language to another there there's this exchange and the exchange creates delay when you are speaking

а потом с одного языка на другой происходит этот обмен, и этот обмен создаёт задержку, когда ты говоришь.

if you want to be fluent what you need to do is to eliminate

если ты хочешь свободно владеть языком, то всё, что тебе нужно сделать, это избавиться от

that delay that delay kills your fluency and

эта задержка разрушает твою беглость речи и

that delay is caused by translation so you need to destroy

эта задержка вызвана процессом перевода, поэтому вам нужно отменить её.

that step how

этот шаг как

if from this diagram you take out the mother tongue your brain will have to directly reach English

если из этой схемы убрать родной язык, вашему мозгу придётся сразу обращаться к английскому.

and when it directly reaches English whenever there's an idea

и когда это напрямую доходит до английского языка всякий раз, когда появляется какая-то идея

that idea goes

эта идея уходит

and instead of going to your mother tongue it goes to

и вместо того, чтобы перейти на ваш родной язык, он переходит на

English directly you have basically eliminated the step of going to your mother tongue

По сути, при использовании английского языка вы исключаете этап перехода на родной язык.

and then translating to English you have eliminated that it's easier said than done meaning it's easy to say,

а потом при переводе на английский вы упустили смысл выражения «легче сказать, чем сделать», то есть что это легко произнести.

hey guys, the solution is to think in English.

Эй, ребята, решение — думать на английском.

Do you want to be fluent?

Вы хотите свободно владеть языком?

Then think in English.

Тогда думай по-английски.

Goodbye.

До свидания.

It's easy to say that.

Легко это говорить.

But how can you actually do it?

Но как вам это действительно сделать?

There are a couple of factors and a couple of things to do.

Есть пара факторов и пара вещей, которые нужно сделать.

So listen closely.

Так что слушай внимательно.

Here's the first thing.

Вот первое.

In your head, quietly name things around you in English.

Oh, that's a vase.

Flowers.

Picture frames.

A microphone.

Camera.

Notebook.

A cell phone.

A pen with three colors.

Blue, black, red, a room, chairs, table, kitchen, living room,

windows, name things in English, right in your head, name everything around you in English.

You go out, you're sitting in the bus stop, waiting for the bus, look around you, name things in English in your head.

This is the first step, this is the easy step.

And this is what I did when I was growing up.

You know, I'm a non-native English speaker.

I learned English from scratch, from zero.

And one of the things that really helped me was naming items around me, naming things around me in English.

The second thing I want you to do, this helped me a lot, narrate your daily life.

Again, in your head and silently. So you're doing something.

Okay, look, I'm sitting on a chair.

There's a microphone in front of me.

I'm recording a video, and this video is going to go on YouTube.

A lot of people are going to watch it.

I want people to learn something from this video.

Ah, this morning I had coffee.

That was good.

Maybe it is time for my second coffee.

Yeah.

Let me look to my left.

What was on my right again?

Narrate your life.

As you are doing different things, if you're at work, if you're at home, if you're at the bus stop, if you are at school, in university,

as you are doing different things narrate it in English force

yourself to narrate them in English um it's gonna help you a lot it is gonna help you a lot

because this is the next step right first you name items around you now

that you know the names of the items around you in

English you're going to narrate let me move this vase closer to myself oops now that's too close

good you see I know the name

and now I'm narrating what I'm doing this is step two

and you know

when I think about how I learned English you know I'm a deeply introverted person I'm very shy

and growing up I didn't have many friends I used to spend most of my time alone

and I had this imaginary friend whose name was Eminem.

I loved him.

I used to listen to his music a lot.

And I would imagine that he's sitting next to me and I'm talking to him.

And when you want to talk to Eminem, my imaginary friend, he only speaks English.

100

He only understands English.

101

So I had to speak in English with him.

102

And I didn't want others to understand that I am crazy imagining Eminem sitting here.

103

So I would imagine those situations, those scenarios in my head, and I would speak with him in my head.

104

Hey, Em, what's up?

105

Do you like my bedroom?

106

So I used to think and narrate my life a lot with my imaginary friend.

107

And I really advise you guys to do that too.

108

Here's another step, very important.

109

When you want to learn a new word, when you want to look up something new in a dictionary

110

or as chat GPT something always do that in English

111

and here's why if you are learning a new word

112

and you don't know what it means and you look up in the dictionary

113

if you do it in your mother tongue you are bringing back

114

that translation step remember the whole point is to eliminate

115

that the whole point is to throw that away so you are not going to learn the meaning of a word

116

in your mother tongue, what you are going to do is to learn the meaning in English.

117

Use an English to English dictionary.

118

Cambridge dictionary is the best.

119

Use it.

120

You can use the online version.

121

Go to CambridgeDictionary.com, I think, .org maybe.

122

Google Cambridge dictionary.

123

You will see the website.

124

Use Cambridge online dictionary English to English and always look for the meaning of words in English.

125

And this is quite important because you know something

126

that has ruined the whole learning process for a lot of us is the school system.

127

Schools follow a very very traditional method called grammar translation method, GTM.

128

The grammar translation method is this, it's very Very simple.

129

Teach grammar, teach words, then translate sentences from mother tongue to English and from English to the mother tongue.

130

That's how schools teach English.

131

And, you know, with the same method, a lot of people spend six or seven years at school learning English grammar translation.

132

The only thing it does is it forces your brain to think in your mother tongue and then translate.

133

That translation is the reason people who studied English at school or people who even studied English at university, they are not able to speak fluently.

134

The correct method is a conversational method.

135

You teach people how to have conversations in English.

136

And the first step in this method is to think in English.

137

Right.

138

So what I want you to do is never, ever, ever write anything in your mother tongue.

139

Always look for a word or a sentence or a phrase in English and write down the English meaning.

140

That's a very important step.

141

Next, talk to yourself a lot.

142

Now, here's the thing.

143

When I was learning English, I remember for a long time I had a teacher.

144

And that teacher was never teaching us the book.

145

students a lot of students a lot of classmates we had

146

back then they were angry parents were really angry they were furious the school they hated this teacher

147

but I loved him

148

and I think he was the most influential person in my

149

entire learning journey he did one thing he taught us how to be crazy

150

and he said if he wants to speak fluently you need to be crazy And what he meant was on the street,

151

at home, at work, talk to yourself out loud in English.

152

And if you think about it, if you see someone on the street who's talking to himself, yeah, look at that, nice weather.

153

Oh, the supermarket.

154

Look at that guy.

155

You would say that person is crazy.

156

But this method really works.

157

And I'm not telling you to go out there and be crazy in front of people and embarrass yourself.

158

What I'm telling you is try to find situations in

159

which you can talk to yourself freely without people laughing at you or pointing at you.

160

I mean, if you are brave enough, go ahead and speak to yourself on the street.

161

But if you are introverted like me, go to your room, close the door and speak with yourself out loud.

162

Go stand in front of the mirror and speak with yourself out loud.

163

Imagine different scenarios.

164

Talk to yourself.

165

Now you see this is the natural progression of the previous steps.

166

First you think in your head and name the items.

167

Second you narrate what you were doing in your head quietly.

168

Now what you're doing is you were saying that out loud.

169

You're using your speaking muscles

170

and now pronunciation is coming into play because

171

when you're just doing it in your head there's no pronunciation there's no enunciation

172

when you are actually saying the words when you're actually saying the sentences pronunciation

173

and movement of your tongue they all come into play

174

so it's a very important step and last

175

but not least before I say this one

176

180

done okay back to the lesson here's the last one it's a very important one very interesting one

181

immerse yourself what do i mean english

182

and not just english any new thing you want to learn

183

is think of it as this it's a muscle in your

184

head a part of your brain is creating new links

185

and new connections and those links initially are very very thin and narrow they're tiny you have to make them thick?

186

Now think of it like this.

187

My biceps are very, very tiny, right?

188

They're huge?

189

No, they're tiny.

190

What is the way in

191

which i can make them thick i need to lift weights

192

a lot how many times a lot for how long forever

193

right the more i do it the stronger it becomes the same thing is with

194

that links with those links in your head you want to

195

make they're very thin now you want to make them thick

196

you need to use them a lot a good way to

197

use them a lot is to immerse yourself in english everything around you should be in english

198

now if you are living in an english-speaking country as an immigrant that's a very good step

199

if you are not in that position here's what i would recommend pursue your hobbies in english

200

I had a student who was a big Chelsea fan.

201

He was following the news in English.

202

He was following the players' Instagram accounts, and that was his hobby.

203

And he was really fluent when it came to English speaking.

204

Another student of mine was a movie fan.

205

He used to watch a lot of movies.

206

Myself, I was a fan of rap music, Eminem in particular, and I used to listen to him a lot.

207

pursue your hobbies in English.

208

That's number one.

209

The second thing, a very interesting trick, a very interesting tactic I used.

210

Back then, I had a very simple mobile phone, very simple cell phone, and no cameras, nothing.

211

It was a very simple, very basic phone.

212

And the language of that phone was in my mother tongue.

213

It was set to my mother tongue.

214

What I did was I wanted to challenge myself.

215

So I changed the language to English.

216

Whenever I went on my phone, whenever I took my phone and opened it, everything was in English.

217

And initially I was so confused, but little by little I learned my way around it.

218

I learned a lot of new words.

219

I used to go to settings and read everything.

220

It was a nice trick.

221

And then later on when I had my first computer, what I did was But I immediately changed the language of the computer from my mother tongue to English.

222

So each time I use my laptop, each time I use my computer, I opened it, everything was in English and I was really confused.

223

I was really confused.

224

All the error messages, everything, they were in English and I was really confused.

225

But little by little, I learned a lot just from these two things.

226

Look around you right now.

227

Look at the different things you do in your daily routine.

228

See which ones you can do in English.

229

If you are the kind of person who likes reading books, see if you can read books in English, the books that you like.

230

If you are the kind of person who watches movies, if you are using the, sorry, if you are watching dubbed movies in your mother tongue,

231

change it to English with subtitles.

232

And little by little, change the subtitles to English as well.

233

about different things you do and then think about how you can do them in English.

234

Immerse yourself in this language and you will see the result.

235

And that's it guys.

236

It is not going to happen overnight.

237

I did all the five.

238

I'm still thinking in my mother tongue or my inner voice is still in English.

239

Of course, it's not going to happen overnight.

240

It will happen naturally.

241

It will come to you naturally once you follow all these steps

242

and they're not really time consuming these are easy things you

243

can do you're already doing them in your mother tongue just change it to english

244

looking around naming items in english is very easy it's not going to take you any time

245

because every day your eyes are open and you're looking around just name the items in english in your head

246

narrating your life is very easy you are already doing all those things you are already making coffee, making tea, calling someone.

247

Do them narrate your life.

248

Say what you're doing in English.

249

Speak to yourself.

250

Close the door.

251

You're thinking, say that out loud in English.

252

It's not going to take any time.

253

You're already doing all of these.

254

I'm just asking you to do them in English and you will see the result.

255

Because once that inner voice of yours turns to English, you will speak fluently, guaranteed, 100%.

256

I hope you've enjoyed this lesson.

257

See you soon with the next one.

258

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.
