So is it possible to be fluent in a language by yourself?

Let's answer that question here

So if you're really motivated to learn a language learning the basics of a language is completely Possible to do by yourself.

This is why whenever I start to learn a new language from zero I usually just rely on the internet

and my Google searching abilities to get started

This is because a lot of basic stuff in a language is just

so widely available on the internet that you can just really get for free.

So in the beginning, I prefer not to be too troubled with looking for other people

or looking for a teacher to teach me the basic stuff.

Because a lot of times I can teach myself the basic stuff.

So even with speaking skills,

as a beginner, I can do that by myself.

I can talk to myself in the mirror or I can record myself,

I can mimic native speakers that I see from videos or something.

So as a beginner, starting to learn a language by yourself is actually quite possible.

However, comes a time where you actually do need to rely on other people to get your language to the next level.

Because the thing is, the goal of learning a language is to be able to communicate, right?

And usually, you know, normally when you communicate,

you need at least two people for communication to happen.

Although not always.

Now that in the YouTube era,

I'm actually communicating with you guys,

but in reality, I'm just talking to myself and to an inanimate object camera here But in a way,

you know what I mean.

So yes, eventually you do need to rely on other people to get better

Especially when it comes to building your confidence in your speaking abilities

If your end goal is to be able to speak confidently with native speakers

Then you cannot really rely on yourself to build that confidence Because confidence is built by doing that thing repeatedly

So in order to get good at speaking with native speakers,

then you're gonna have to speak with native speakers repeatedly And of course this way,

you cannot really do it alone And then this way,

then you would either have to go look for a tutor

or to find a language partner or something like that So learning a language alone is completely possible

up until a point where you have to build your speaking confidence talking to real people.

If your goal is to talk to real people,

then you're going to need real people to speak with.

So in my premium coaching program ESA made for intermediate learners,

I actually talked about the different levels of speaking confidence for language learners.

So by the way, if you guys fit this criteria,

I welcome you guys to apply for the program.

I think the next batch will start in August

So I encourage you to apply as soon as you can

Because I have a lot of people applying and it's just a little overwhelming

So do apply here while you can

if you're interested Check out the website here

and let's get back to the video So I came up with this concept of different levels of speaking confidence.

So when it comes to developing your speaking confidence,

there is this thing called low-pressure environment and high-pressure environment.

So low-pressure environment in which you can practice your speaking skills include having inner dialogues with yourself,

or speaking to yourself out loud.

And then next level is to record yourself in a camera like this

because it adds a bit more pressure So a level above

that is actually talking to other learners of English

or other target languages that you're learning

because then it gives you a bit more pressure to talk to other people

But at least you can take comfort in the fact

that they're also learning So they kind of understand where you're coming from

and your nervousness in speaking in your target language or in English

So speaking with other language learners is actually a good place to start

if you want to slowly build your confidence to speak your target language with other people

So a level beyond that is to speak with fluent non-natives

So that would be kind of like me I'm a non-native English speaker,

but I am fluent So if you are learning English

and then you feel quite comfortable speaking with other English learners Then next level to

that would be speaking with someone like me who is not really a native speaker,

but you feel more comfortable speaking with me because you know that I have been through the process of learning English,

so I kind of understand where you're coming from and my accent

and my language is a lot easier to understand

so it's definitely a little bit more challenging than speaking with other language learners to speak with someone like me,

a fluent non-native speaker.

Then the next level, the highest level there is,

is to be able to speak with native speakers.

So I would say this is the highest pressure environment that you can put yourself in to really build your confidence.

Of course, speaking with native speakers makes you feel a little bit more nervous, right?

Because you're also a bit afraid

that you won't be able to catch everything they say or they won't be able to understand your accent,

yada yada yada.

That's why it's high pressure.

So of course, as a beginner,

when you're just starting out,

it's a good idea to start small first.

Having inner dialogues in English,

speaking to yourself, speaking with a camera or whatever by yourself because it's the lowest pressure environment.

These things you can do by yourself.

However, if your goal is to build your confidence to speak with others,

then you're gonna have to slowly level up by speaking with other learners,

with fluent non-natives, and with native speaker.

And these things you cannot do alone.

You're gonna have to find another person,

be it a tutor or a language partner, to build that confidence.

So, short answer to my video is

that you can definitely become fluent in your language without having to rely on other people,

but only to a certain level.

So, I hope that helps guys.

I hope that this clarifies a lot of your doubts,

and I hope you guys learned something new.

If you guys like it,

give it a thumbs up,

and I will see you next week in another video.

Until then, goodbye and take care.

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.
