ฝึกพูดภาษาอังกฤษด้วยเทคนิค Shadowing จากวิดีโอ: Train Your Brain to Think in English | Easy English Conversation for Beginners

Hello everyone and welcome back to Enjoy English Talks, where every conversation helps you learn.

I'm Judy.

Hello Judy.

Hello everyone.

I'm Jake.

How are you today, Judy?

I am very happy today, thank you.

I went for a walk this morning.

It was very nice.

And you, Jake?

I am good.

A little tired.

I stayed up late last night.

Oh, Jake.

What were you doing?

I was watching an English movie with subtitles.

Oh, subtitles.

The words at the bottom of the screen.

Yes, the English words at the bottom.

That is good English practice, Jake.

Yes, but now I am tired.

That is the problem with good movies.

Yes, one more episode, one more episode.

I understand.

Okay, so Jake, today we have a very important topic.

Oh, what is it?

Today we are talking about your brain.

My brain?

Is something wrong with my brain?

No, no, no.

Your brain is good, Jake.

Good.

I was worried.

Today we are talking about how to train your brain.

How to train your brain to think in English.

Ooh, think in English.

That sounds very difficult.

It sounds difficult, but it is not impossible.

And today I have some tips for you.

Easy tips.

I like easy tips.

I know you do.

But, Judy, can I really learn to think in English?

Is it truly possible?

Yes, it is very possible.

Many people do it.

It takes time, but it is possible.

How long does it take?

Different for everyone, but if you practice every day, you will feel a change.

Maybe in one month, maybe in two.

One or two months.

That is not so long.

No, not so long.

And every day, it gets a little easier.

Okay, I feel more confident now.

Good.

That is the right feeling.

Confident and ready.

But first, before we start, we have a small request.

Thank you so much.

It helps us a lot.

We love our listeners.

Okay, now let's talk about your brain.

My favorite topic.

My brain.

Okay, Jake, let me ask you a question.

Sure.

When you speak English, what do you do first, in your head?

Hmm, I think in my language, in my head.

I make the sentence, then I translate it.

Ah, yes, you think first, then translate.

Yes, and then the English words are wrong, or slow, or I forget.

Exactly, this is a very common problem.

Many learners do this.

They think in their language and then translate.

Is that bad?

It is not bad, but it is slow, and it is very hard.

Your brain is working two times.

Two times?

Oh, that is a lot of work.

Yes, and when your brain works two times, it is slow, and sometimes the translation is not correct.

Yes, I translate in my head, and sometimes the sentence sounds very strange or wrong.

Exactly.

So our goal today is simple.

Stop translating.

Think directly in English.

That is the dream.

Yes.

So today we want to help your brain work one time.

Think in English, speak in English.

That sounds much better.

But how?

I have three tips for you today, Jake.

Three tips.

Okay, I'm ready.

100

Tip number one, think in small sentences.

101

Small sentences?

102

Yes, small, very small.

103

For example, right now, what are you doing?

104

Hmm, I am sitting.

105

I am sitting on a chair.

106

Perfect.

107

That is a small English sentence.

108

I am sitting on a chair.

109

Simple, easy.

110

Oh, yes, that is very simple.

111

You do not need a big, long sentence.

112

You need a small sentence in English.

113

So I just say what I see, what I do.

114

Exactly.

115

For example, you wake up in the morning.

116

What do you think?

117

Hmm, I am tired.

118

Yes, perfect.

119

I am tired.

120

That is English.

121

That is thinking in English.

122

Okay, so I just use simple sentences, short ones.

123

Yes, short sentences, easy words.

124

That is tip number one.

125

I like this tip.

126

It is not scary.

127

Let me try one more.

128

The sun is bright.

129

I feel warm.

130

Yes, perfect.

131

Two small sentences, two English thoughts.

132

Easy.

133

It's like a photo, but with words.

134

Oh, I love that.

135

Yes, a word photo.

136

Simple, clear, beautiful.

137

A word photo.

138

I like this.

139

You can do this anywhere.

140

On the bus, in the park, at home, everywhere.

141

Oh, on the bus.

142

Let me try.

143

The bus is full.

144

People are standing.

145

I have a seat.

146

I am lucky.

147

Yes, perfect.

148

That is wonderful, Jake.

149

Thank you.

150

I am a poet, an English poet.

151

Yes, an English poet on the bus.

152

This is fun.

153

I really like this tip.

154

Good.

155

The more you practice, the more natural it feels.

156

One small sentence at a time.

157

One small sentence.

158

I can do that.

159

Yes, you can.

160

Okay, tip number two.

161

What is tip number two?

162

Tip number two is input.

163

Input.

164

What is input?

165

Input is English in.

166

You listen to English.

167

You read English.

168

That goes into your brain.

169

That is input.

170

Like this podcast.

171

Yes, exactly like this podcast.

172

You listen to us.

173

English goes into your brain.

174

Oh, so I am doing input right now.

175

Yes, you are.

176

And our listeners, too.

177

They are doing input right now.

178

That is nice.

179

Input while we talk.

180

Yes, and input can be many things.

181

You can listen to songs, you can watch movies, you can read simple books.

182

Like children's books?

183

Yes, children's books are perfect for beginners.

184

I like children's books.

185

The pictures are nice.

186

Yes, the pictures help, but the language is also perfect.

187

Simple, clear, easy.

188

So the more I listen and read, the more my brain learns English.

189

Exactly.

190

Your brain hears English again and again, and slowly it starts to feel normal.

191

Like music.

192

When you hear a song many times, you know all the words.

193

Perfect example, Jake.

194

Yes, exactly like that.

195

Input is music for your brain.

196

I love that.

197

Music for my brain.

198

And there's one more thing about input, something very useful.

199

Oh, what is it?

200

Shadowing.

201

shadowing like my shadow on the ground not exactly shadowing means you listen to English and then

202

you repeat right after you copy the words the sounds the rhythm ah so I listen to someone speak then I

203

say the same words yes like an echo like an echo I like that so I can listen to

204

this podcast and then repeat what you say yes exactly listen then pause then repeat

205

so right now our listeners can practice shadowing with us yes hello listeners try it repeat after us that

206

sounds like a lot of fun it is fun and it's very good for your mouth your mouth learns the sounds the words become easier to say okay I will try shadowing today with this podcast.

207

Perfect.

208

Okay.

209

And now tip number three.

210

Okay.

211

What is tip number three?

212

Tip number three is output.

213

Output.

214

What is output?

215

Output is English out.

216

You speak English.

217

You write English.

218

That comes out of your brain.

219

So input is in, output is out.

220

Yes.

221

Very good, Jake.

222

That is easy to remember.

223

In and out.

224

Exactly.

225

And outpoint is very important because input alone is not enough.

226

Not enough?

227

No.

228

You can listen to English for many years, but if you never speak, you cannot speak.

229

Oh, that is sad and also true.

230

Yes.

231

So you need to use the English you learn.

232

You need to speak it.

233

But how do I speak English if I have nobody to talk to?

234

Ah, good question.

235

And this is a very important question.

236

I have the answer.

237

Tell me.

238

Talk to yourself.

239

Talk to myself?

240

Yes, talk to yourself in English.

241

But people will think I'm crazy.

242

Maybe, but you will learn English.

243

Okay, that is a good trade.

244

Yes, talk to yourself.

245

It's okay.

246

It's very good practice.

247

You have no pressure, no one is watching, no one is judging.

248

So I can make mistakes and nobody cares.

249

Exactly.

250

Make mistakes.

251

Try again.

252

Make more mistakes.

253

Your brain is practicing.

254

Okay.

255

I will try.

256

I will talk to myself at home, in English.

257

Perfect.

258

For example, you are in the kitchen.

259

You are making coffee.

260

I love coffee.

261

I know.

262

So you say, in English, I am making coffee.

263

The coffee smells good.

264

I'm a little hungry.

265

Maybe I will make toast.

266

That is like a morning radio show, but only for me.

267

Yes, your own English radio show in your kitchen.

268

Welcome to Jake's kitchen.

269

Today we are making coffee.

270

It's a beautiful morning.

271

Perfect.

272

And you can also describe what you see.

273

Look around the room right now, Jake.

274

Okay.

275

I see a table.

276

I see a window.

277

The sky is blue.

278

There is a tree outside.

279

The tree is green.

280

Yes.

281

That's output.

282

Simple, natural, English coming out of you.

283

It is easy when I think of it like that.

284

Yes.

285

You do not need perfect grammar.

286

You just need to speak, to try.

287

And my brain learns from trying.

288

Exactly.

289

Every time you try, your brain gets stronger.

290

Oh, that is easy.

291

I can do that.

292

Yes, simple sentences about what you are doing right now in English.

293

And my brain learns from this?

294

Yes, your brain is practicing output, speaking, using English, getting comfortable.

295

Getting comfortable, yes, that is the goal.

296

Exactly, comfortable English, not perfect English, comfortable.

297

I like that, comfortable, not perfect.

298

Say it to yourself every day.

299

Comfortable, not perfect.

300

Comfortable, not perfect.

301

Yes, I will remember this.

302

Good, because comfortable is the goal, not perfect.

303

And there is one more way to do output.

304

Writing.

305

Writing?

306

Yes, you can write to yourself, in English, a small diary, a short note, just a few sentences every day.

307

Like, today I went to the shop.

308

I bought bread.

309

The bread was very good.

310

Perfect.

311

Yes.

312

Simple, short English.

313

That is easy.

314

I can do that in the evening.

315

Yes.

316

Writing is output too.

317

Your brain practices English when you write.

318

So speaking and writing, both are output.

319

Exactly.

320

Use English in any way you can.

321

Speak, write, think out loud.

322

All of it helps.

323

I will speak to my coffee in the morning and write in my notebook at night.

324

You are the perfect English student, Jake.

325

Thank you, Judy.

326

I try my best.

327

Okay, I am ready to talk to my coffee.

328

Okay, so we have three tips.

329

Let me say them again.

330

Yes, review time.

331

Tip 1.

332

Think in small sentences, short sentences, easy words.

333

Small sentences.

334

I am sitting.

335

I am tired.

336

I am happy.

337

Perfect.

338

Tip 2.

339

Input.

340

Listen to English, read English.

341

Every day.

342

Input.

343

English in.

344

Podcasts, songs, movies, books.

345

Yes.

346

And tip 3.

347

Output.

348

Speak English.

349

Talk to yourself.

350

Use what you know.

351

Output.

352

English out.

353

Talk to myself even in the kitchen.

354

Especially in the kitchen.

355

Hello, coffee.

356

How are you today?

357

Yes, perfect.

358

Your coffee does not judge you.

359

My coffee is very kind.

360

Okay, one more thing before we finish.

361

What is that?

362

How much time?

363

How much time do you need every day?

364

Hmm, two hours?

365

Three hours?

366

No, no, no.

367

No?

368

A little every day.

369

A little is enough.

370

A little?

371

How little?

372

Ten minutes.

373

Ten minutes every day is very good.

374

Only ten minutes?

375

Yes.

376

Ten minutes every day is better than three hours on Saturday.

377

Really?

378

Why?

379

Because your brain learns with repetition.

380

Repetition, it means doing something again and again, every day.

381

That's how habits form.

382

That's how language grows.

383

So 10 minutes today, 10 minutes tomorrow, 10 minutes every day.

384

And after one month, two months, six months, you feel the difference.

385

Wow, I never thought about it like that.

386

Small steps every day.

387

Exactly.

388

Small steps every single day.

389

That's the secret.

390

It's like building a house, one brick every day.

391

Oh, I love that.

392

Yes, one brick every day.

393

And slowly, you have a house.

394

A beautiful English house.

395

Yes, and habits are very important.

396

Try to do it at the same time every day.

397

Same time?

398

Yes.

399

For example, every morning with your coffee.

400

Ten minutes of English.

401

Listen to a podcast, read a few sentences, talk to yourself.

402

Oh, coffee and English every morning.

403

Yes, Jake's morning English coffee time.

404

I love this plan.

405

After one week, it feels normal.

406

After one month, it feels easy.

407

After six months, people will say, Jake, your English is so good.

408

I will say, thank you.

409

I practiced with my coffee.

410

Perfect answer.

411

That's a good secret.

412

Easy to do.

413

Yes, anyone can do 10 minutes.

414

Even tired people like me.

415

Even tired people like you.

416

Well, that's all the time we have for today.

417

That was so helpful, Judy.

418

Thank you.

419

You're welcome.

420
