ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Real Life English Questions Practice For Beginners (A1-B1) | English Podcast

Can you understand English but freeze when someone asks you a question?

You know the words, but your mind goes blank.

Your heart beats fast.

You panic.

Today, that stops.

Welcome to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast, where we help you speak English with confidence, not fear.

Hello everyone!

Welcome back to Speak Up Sessions English Podcast.

I'm Masu, your English teacher and friend.

Today we have something very special for you.

We're going to practice asking and answering questions in English.

Real questions you hear every single day.

Questions at restaurants, with friends, at work, while traveling, everywhere.

And joining me today is my good friend, Fizu.

Fizu, how are you feeling today?

Hi Masu!

Hi everyone!

To be honest, I'm a little nervous.

I always get confused when people ask me questions in English.

Sometimes I understand the question, but I don't know how to answer quickly.

My brain just… stops working.

That's very common, Fizu.

You're not alone.

Millions of English learners feel exactly the same.

But here's the good news.

Asking and answering questions is a skill, and skills can be learned.

Today, you and I will practice together, step by step.

We'll make mistakes, we'll laugh, we'll learn.

And by the end of this session, you'll feel much more confident.

Are you ready?

Yes, I'm ready.

Let's do this.

Perfect.

And to everyone watching right now, grab your headphones, relax, and listen carefully.

This is your listening practice.

This is your speaking practice.

This podcast will help you improve your fluency naturally.

Let's start.

Okay, Fizu, let's begin with something very simple.

I'm going to ask you some basic questions.

Just answer naturally, okay?

Don't think too much.

Just speak.

Okay, I'll try.

Great.

First question.

What's your name?

My name is Fizu.

Perfect.

See?

That was easy.

Next question.

Where are you from?

I am from...

I'm from Turkey.

Good try, but listen carefully.

Don't say, I'm from Turkey.

Say, I am from Turkey.

Or simply, I'm from Turkey.

You need the verb am.

Let's try again.

Where are you from?

I'm from Turkey.

Excellent.

Much better.

You see, small corrections make a big difference.

Now, next question.

How old are you?

I have 25 years old.

Ah, very common mistake.

In English, we don't say, I have 25 years old.

We say, I am 25 years old, or just, I'm 25.

The verb here is am, not have.

Try again.

I'm 25 years old.

Perfect.

Now you've got it.

Okay, one more question.

What do you do?

What do I do?

Um, I don't understand the question.

No problem.

What do you do means what is your job or what do you study?

It's a very common question in English.

So, what do you do, Fizu?

Oh, I understand now.

I'm a student.

I study engineering.

Wonderful.

You see, at first you didn't understand the question, but now you do.

And that's exactly how learning works.

You listen, you practice, you improve.

Great job, Fizu.

Thank you, Masu.

I feel a little better now.

You should feel confident.

And to everyone listening, did you notice how Fizu improved?

At first, he made small mistakes, but he kept trying.

He didn't give up.

100

And now his answers sound natural and fluent.

101

That's what practice does.

102

So keep practicing, keep speaking, keep making mistakes.

103

Mistakes are proof that you're learning.

104

All right, Fizu, now we're going to practice some real-life situations.

105

These are conversations you'll actually have in the real world.

106

Ready?

107

Yes, let's do it.

108

Situation one.

109

At a restaurant.

110

Okay, imagine you're at a restaurant.

111

I'm the waiter.

112

I come to your table and say, good evening.

113

Are you ready to order?

114

Uh, yes.

115

I want, I want a pizza, please.

116

Good, but instead of I want, try saying I'd like or can I have.

117

It sounds more polite.

118

Let's try again.

119

Are you Mehdi to order?

120

Yes.

121

I'd like a pizza, please.

122

Perfect.

123

Now I ask, what size?

124

Small, medium, or large?

125

Medium, please.

126

Great.

127

And then I ask, anything to drink?

128

Yes.

129

Can I have a cola?

130

Excellent.

131

You used, can I have.

132

That's very polite.

133

Now I say, of course, your order will be ready in 15 minutes.

134

Thank you.

135

See how easy that was?

136

You ordered food in English like a pro.

137

Let's try another situation.

138

Situation two, talking to a friend.

139

Now, imagine I'm your friend, we haven't seen each other for a long time.

140

I call you and say, hey Fizu, how have you been?

141

Hi Masu, I'm good, how are you?

142

I'm great, thanks.

143

So, what have you been up to lately?

144

What have I been up to?

145

Um, I don't know this phrase.

146

No problem.

147

What have you been up to means what have you been doing.

148

It's a very common question among friends.

149

So, what have you been doing lately?

150

Oh, I've been studying English every day, and I've been watching English podcasts like this one.

151

That's awesome, Fizu.

152

I'm so proud of you.

153

Now, let me ask, do you want to meet up this weekend?

154

Yes, I'd love to.

155

Where should we meet?

156

How about the coffee shop near your house?

157

Sounds good.

158

What time?

159

Is 3 p.m okay for you?

160

Yes.

161

3 p.m is perfect.

162

See you then.

163

Perfect.

164

You just had a full conversation with a friend in English.

165

You asked questions, you answered questions, you made plans.

166

That's real-life English.

167

Situation 3.

168

Shopping.

169

Now, let's imagine you're shopping for clothes.

170

I'm the shopkeeper.

171

I say, hi, can I help you?

172

Yes.

173

I'm looking for a jacket.

174

Great.

175

What size are you?

176

I'm size medium.

177

Perfect.

178

What color do you prefer?

179

Do you have black?

180

Yes, we do.

181

Here's a black jacket in size medium.

182

Would you like to try it on?

183

Yes, please.

184

Where is the fitting room?

185

It's right over there, on your left.

186

Thank you.

187

Excellent, Fizu.

188

You asked, where is the fitting room?

189

That's a perfect question.

190

Now, imagine the jacket fits you well.

191

I ask, how does it fit?

192

It fits perfectly.

193

How much is it?

194

It's $50.

195

Okay, I'll take it.

196

Wonderful.

197

You just bought a jacket in English.

198

You asked about size, color, price, and location.

199

These are very useful questions in real life.

200

Okay, next situation.

201

Imagine you're lost in a new city.

202

You need to ask for directions.

203

I'm a stranger on the street.

204

You come up to me.

205

What do you say?

206

Um, excuse me?

207

Yes?

208

Can you help me?

209

I'm looking for the train station. Of course.

210

Go straight down this road, then turn left at the traffic light.

211

You'll see the station on your right.

212

Go straight, then turn left at the traffic light.

213

Exactly.

214

How far is it?

215

It's about a 10-minute walk.

216

Okay.

217

Thank you so much.

218

You're welcome.

219

Perfect, Fizu.

220

You asked for help.

221

You repeated the directions to make sure you understood, and you asked how far is it.

222

That's a very smart question when you're traveling.

223

Great job!

224

Okay, last situation.

225

Imagine you're at a party.

226

You meet someone new.

227

I'll be that person.

228

I say, hi, I don't think we've met before.

249

You just made a new friend in English.

250

You asked questions, you shared information, you showed interest.

251

That's how real conversations work.

252

Alright everyone, now it's time for our Listen and Repeat section.

253

This is where you practice speaking out loud.

254

I'll say a sentence slowly, and I want you to repeat after me.

255

Fizu will repeat too.

256

Ready?

257

Let's go.

258

What's your name?

259

What's your name?

260

Good.

261

Again.

262

263

What's your name?

264

Perfect.

265

Next one.

266

Where are you from?

267

Where are you from?

268

Excellent.

269

Again, where are you from?

270

Where are you from?

271

Great.

272

Next, how old are you?

273

How old are you?

274

Good.

275

One more time.

276

How old are you?

277

How old are you?

278

Perfect.

279

Now this one.

280

What do you do?

281

What do you do?

282

Excellent.

283

Again, what do you do?

284

Great job.

285

Next sentence, I'd like a coffee, please.

286

Perfect.

287

Again, I'd like a coffee, please.

288

Wonderful.

289

Now this one, can you help me?

290

Good.

291

One more time, can you help me?

292

Excellent.

293

Last one.

294

Nice to meet you.

295

Nice to meet you.

296

Perfect.

297

Again, nice to meet you.

298

Nice to meet you.

299

Amazing work, everyone.

300

If you repeated all of these sentences out loud, you just practiced your speaking.

301

That's how you build fluency, by speaking, not just listening.

302

Great job.

303

Now, let's talk about some very useful words and phrases from today's lesson.

304

I'll explain each one in simple English, and Fizu will ask questions if needed.

305

Ready?

306

Yes, ready.

307

Word one, freeze.

308

When you freeze, it means you suddenly stop moving or thinking because you're scared or nervous.

309

Example, I freeze when someone asks me a question in English.

310

Oh, I do this all the time.

311

I freeze when I have to speak English.

312

Exactly, and that's completely normal.

313

But with practice, you'll stop freezing and start speaking confidently.

314

Word two.

315

Confused.

316

When you're confused, it means you don't understand something.

317

You feel unclear.

318

Example, I was confused by the question.

319

Yes, I feel confused sometimes when people speak English very fast.

320

That's okay.

321

When you feel confused, just say, I'm sorry, I didn't understand.

322

Can you repeat that, please?

323

Phrase three.

324

I'd like.

325

This is a polite way to say, I want.

326

We use I'd like in restaurants, shops, formal situations.

327

I'd like a cup of tea, please.

328

So I'd like is more polite than I want.

329

Exactly.

330

I want is not rude, but I'd like sounds more polite and respectful.

331

Phrase 4.

332

How have you been?

333

This is a friendly question we ask when we meet someone after a long time.

334

It means, how are you doing?

335

Or, what's new in your life?

336

So I can say, how have you been to a friend I haven't seen in a long time?

337

Yes, perfect.

338

Phrase 5, what have you been up to?

339

This is another way to ask, what have you been doing?

340

It's very common in casual conversations.

341

I like this phrase.

342

It sounds natural.

343

It does.

344

And now you can use it with your English-speaking friends.

345

Phrase 6.

346

Fitting room.

347

This is the small room in a clothing store where you try on clothes before you buy them.

348

Oh, in my language we say something different, but in English it's fitting room.

349

Exactly.

350

So if you want to try on clothes, ask, where is the fitting room?

351

Phrase 7.

352

Excuse me.

353

We use excuse me to get someone's attention or to say sorry.

354

Example, excuse me, can you help me?

355

This is very useful when I need to ask for directions.

356

Absolutely.

357

Always start with excuse me when you talk to strangers.

358

It's polite and respectful.

359

Alright, Fizu, now it's quiz time.

360

I'm going to ask you some questions based on what we learned today.

361

Let's see how much you remember.

362

Ready?

363

Yes, I'm a little nervous, but I'll try my best.

364

Don't worry.

365

There are no wrong answers here.

366

Just try your best.

367

Okay, first question.

368

How do you ask someone's name in English?

369

Um, what's your name?

370

Perfect.

371

Correct.

372

Next question.

373

If you want to order food politely at a restaurant, what do you say?

374

I say, I'd like, right?

375

Yes, exactly.

376

I'd like a pizza, please.

377

Great job.

378

Next question.

379

What does freeze mean?

380

Freeze means you stop thinking or moving because you're nervous.

381

Excellent.

382

You remembered.

383

Okay.

384

One more question.

385

If you meet a friend you haven't seen for a long time, what can you ask?

386

Um, how have you been?

387

Perfect!

388

Or you can say, what have you been up to?

389

Both are correct.

390

You passed the quiz, Fizu!

391

Well done!

392

Yay!

393

Thank you, Masu!

394

Alright, everyone.

395

Before we finish today's session, I want to share five very important speaking tips with you.

396

These tips will help you improve your English faster and feel more confident.

397

Are you ready?

398

Yes, I want to hear these tips.

399

Great!

400

Here we go!

401

Tip 1.

402

Don't be afraid to make mistakes.

403

Mistakes are not your enemy.

404

Mistakes are your teacher.

405

Every time you make a mistake, you learn something new.

406

So speak English, even if you're not perfect.

407

Speak with confidence.

408

But sometimes I feel embarrassed when I make mistakes.

409

I understand.

410

But remember, everyone makes mistakes.

411

Even native speakers make mistakes.

412

The important thing is to keep trying.

413

Don't let fear stop you from speaking.

414

Tip 2.

415

Practice every single day.

416

You don't need to practice for three hours a day.

417

Even 10 or 15 minutes is enough.

418

Watch English videos.

419

Listen to English podcasts like this one.

420

Repeat sentences out loud.

421

Speak to yourself in English.

422

The key is consistency.

423

So every day is better than one long session per week.

424

Exactly.

425

Daily practice builds fluency much faster.

426

Tip 3.

427

Think in English, not in your native language.

428

When you speak English, don't translate word by word from your native language.

429

That makes your sentences sound unnatural.

430

Instead, try to think directly in English.

431

At first it's difficult, but with practice it becomes easier.

432

How can I practice thinking in English?

433

Start small.

434

When you see an object, say its name in English.

435

When you do something, describe it in English.

436

For example, I'm drinking water.

437

I'm walking.

438

I'm happy.

439

This trains your brain to think in English.

440

Tip 4.

441

Listen to native speakers and copy them.

442

Watch English movies, TV shows, podcasts, YouTube videos.

443

Listen to how native speakers talk.

444

Pay attention to their pronunciation, their rhythm, their intonation.

445

Then try to copy them.

446

This is called shadowing, and it's very effective.

447

So I should repeat what they say?

448

Yes, repeat after them.

449

Try to sound like them.

450

It's a fun and powerful way to improve your speaking.

451

Tip 5.

452

Be patient with yourself.

453

Learning English takes time.

454

You won't become fluent in one day, one week, or even one month.

455

But if you practice every day, you will improve.

456

Celebrate small wins, be kind to yourself, and never give up.

457

Thank you, Masu.

458

These tips are really helpful.

459

I'm so glad, Fizu.

460

And to everyone watching, I hope you write down these tips and use them in your English learning journey.

461

Alright, Fizu, we've practiced a lot today.

462

Let's quickly summarize what we learned.

463

Can you tell me what we talked about?

464

Yes.

465

We practiced asking and answering questions in English.

466

We learned how to introduce ourselves, how to order food at a restaurant, how to ask for directions, how to talk to friends, and how to meet new people.

467

We also learned useful vocabulary like freeze, confused, I'd like, and fitting room.

468

And we got five amazing speaking tips.

469

Perfect summary, Fizu.

470

You remembered everything.

471

I'm so proud of you.

472

How do you feel now?

473

Honestly, I feel much more confident.

474

At the beginning, I was nervous.

475

But now I feel like I can ask and answer questions in English without being so afraid.

476

That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

477

And to everyone watching, I hope you feel the same way.

478

Remember, asking and answering questions is a skill.

479

The more you practice, the easier it becomes.

480

So don't be afraid.

481

Don't overthink.

482

Just speak.

483

Thank you so much for joining us today on Speak Up Sessions English podcast.

484
