1
Hello, everyone.
2
This is Everyday English Academy, where two friends sit down and talk in slow,
3
clear English about completely ordinary life.
4
I'm Sarah.
5
And I'm Mike.
6
And at this exact moment, I am sitting on my kitchen floor surrounded by batteries.
7
Batteries?
8
The drawer, Sarah.
9
Every home has the drawer.
10
Old keys, five pens, one of which works, and about 40 batteries with no information on them.
11
Mine has a single spoon in it, and nobody in this apartment can explain the spoon.
12
So the TV remote died this morning.
13
I went digging, and I found something I'd completely forgotten about.
14
A paper name tag.
15
The sticky kind you wear on your shirt. From where?
16
A Spanish conversation group.
17
I went once, eight months ago.
18
Once?
19
You told me about that group.
20
You were going to go every Tuesday.
21
You were so excited about it.
22
I was, and that tag has been sitting under the batteries since March.
23
Picking it up felt like a nudge.
24
Nudge is a nice word to start on.
25
A nudge is a small, gentle push.
26
If I want your attention in a meeting, I touch your elbow with my elbow.
27
That's the real one, but we use it for decisions too.
28
And here's the detail that makes it worse.
29
Somebody else wrote my name on that tag, and they wrote Mick with a C.
30
Mick.
31
So, there is a paper tag in my kitchen that says Mick, and Mick is the man who quit a conversation group after one evening.
32
Well, there's our episode, everyone, because Mike's Tuesday belongs to about 100 million people.
33
Today, we're talking about comparing your English to other people, why we do it, what it actually costs,
34
and the words you need in the exact moment when you feel behind in a conversation.
35
And I want to promise something before we start.
36
This is not a believe-in-yourself episode.
37
No speeches.
38
I don't have one prepared.
39
Thank goodness.
40
Because I think comparing is mostly a measuring problem, not a feelings problem.
41
People measure the wrong thing and then feel terrible about a result that was never real.
42
Say more about that.
43
In a minute.
44
First, I want the story properly.
45
What actually happened in that room?
46
Okay, so it's above a bakery, first of all.
47
You go up these narrow stairs and the whole room smells like warm bread, which was genuinely the best part of my evening.
48
That sounds nice, though.
49
It was nice.
50
Eight people, folding chairs, the kind of folding chairs that pinch your fingers when you open them.
51
I know those chairs.
52
They're evil.
53
Truly evil.
54
And everyone's already chatting in Spanish before we start.
55
And there's a woman sitting across from me, and she just goes.
56
Full speed.
57
Jokes, opinions, arguing with someone about a movie.
58
How long had she been learning?
59
Six years.
60
And she lived in Madrid for two of them. And you?
61
Three months, maybe three and a half.
62
So you sat down in that room and measured month three against year six.
63
When you say it in that voice, it sounds ridiculous.
64
It sounds like arithmetic.
65
That's not an unfair test, Mike.
66
That's not even the same test.
67
I know that now.
68
In the room, it didn't feel like arithmetic.
69
It felt like everyone here can do this and I can't.
70
All right, I'll accept that.
71
How much did you actually say that night?
72
Two sentences.
73
Two?
74
I counted them.
75
That's the humiliating part.
76
I sat on an evil chair counting my own sentences like a scoreboard.
77
Number one was my name.
78
Number two was where I'm from. And then?
79
And then I left 20 minutes early and told them I had a bus to catch.
80
There was no bus.
81
Ugh, of course there wasn't.
82
Okay, I want to pull one word apart now because you said something earlier that I think is doing damage.
83
You said she was fluent.
84
She was.
85
But what were you actually measuring?
86
What do you mean?
87
She talked fast and she didn't stop.
88
Right, and those aren't the same thing.
89
Fluent is about flow.
90
The words come out smoothly, without long stops.
91
It doesn't mean perfect, and it doesn't mean she never makes mistakes.
92
Hmm, okay.
93
And confident is a separate thing again.
94
Confident is not being afraid to open your mouth.
95
You can be gloriously confident and completely wrong.
96
I've worked with one of those.
97
Haven't we all?
98
So you saw speed and volume for 20 minutes, and you turned that into a level.
99
You gauged her whole ability from one evening.
100
To gauge something is to judge it roughly.
101
Not exact measuring, just a guess from what you can see.
102
You look at the line in a coffee shop and you gauge that it's a 10-minute wait.
103
So I gauged her Spanish from 20 minutes in a room that smelled of bread.
104
And here's the part that bothers me.
105
You never gauge yourself that generously.
106
You judged her at her best and judged yourself at your worst.
107
She was warmed up among friends six years in.
108
You were brand new, first night, sitting on a chair that was attacking you.
109
In hindsight, I should have stayed. In hindsight.
110
Everybody catch that one.
111
You say in hindsight when you look back at something and understand it better now than you did at the time.
112
At the time, it felt completely obvious that I didn't belong there.
113
Eight months later, I can see that I lasted 40 minutes and then made a very big decision.
114
In hindsight, I shouldn't have sent that message.
115
In hindsight, we should have booked earlier.
116
That's the shape of it.
117
My entire 20s. In hindsight.
118
Same.
119
But take me back into the room.
120
because there's practical language sitting in there.
121
What you were trying to do all evening was keep up with them.
122
And I could not.
123
To keep up with a conversation is to follow it at the speed it's really moving.
124
And losing it is normal.
125
Eight people talking and laughing and interrupting each other, you lose the thread in your own language.
126
True.
127
My family at dinner.
128
My English is fine and I still have no idea what's happening.
129
And then there's the phrase I really want people to take home.
130
Hold your own.
131
I like the sound of that one.
132
If you hold your own, you do okay in a situation where the other people are stronger than you.
133
You don't win, you just don't disappear.
134
My cousin plays chess with people far better than her, and she holds her own.
135
She loses, but it's close, and she's still at the board at the end.
136
She held her own in a room full of experts.
137
Like that, yes.
138
And Mike, two sentences in a fast group in month three is holding your own.
139
It didn't feel like it.
140
I believe you.
141
But you didn't sit there in silence.
142
You said your name, and you answer her question.
143
In a language you'd had for 12 weeks.
144
That's a beginning, not a failure.
145
See, this is exactly why comparison is poison.
146
If I hadn't been looking at her, I'd have gone back the next week.
147
I'm stopping you there because I disagree.
148
You disagree?
149
I compare constantly, and I've learned a lot doing it.
150
No, comparison is the enemy.
151
You should never look at other learners.
152
Head down, own lane, ignore everybody.
153
Never look at anyone ever?
154
Ever.
155
So how did you find the Tuesday group?
156
A friend of mine was going.
157
So you looked at another learner and thought, that looks good, I'll have some of that.
158
That's annoying.
159
That's annoying.
160
A bit annoying, yes.
161
Okay, but you know what I mean.
162
I do, and I think we're closer than it sounds.
163
Here's my split.
164
Comparing methods is fuel.
165
Comparing people is a scoreboard nobody wins.
166
Unpack the methods part for me.
167
I've stolen three habits from people who are better than me.
168
A woman in my old office wrote down one phrase a day from whatever she watched the night before.
169
Not ten phrases, one.
170
That's doable, though.
171
That's the kind of thing you'd actually keep.
172
That's why I took it.
173
And a guy told me he re-listens to the same podcast episode three times instead of hunting for a new one.
174
Once for the story, once for the words, once because he likes it.
175
Huh.
176
That's a habit, not a talent.
177
And that is my point exactly.
178
When you watch someone better than you, there are two questions available.
179
Why am I worse than them?
180
Useless question.
181
Or what are they doing that I'm not?
182
That one gives you something to carry home.
183
So the trouble isn't looking at people.
184
It's what you're looking for.
185
And the other trouble is using a person as a yardstick.
186
A yardstick.
187
The wooden ruler thing.
188
Originally, yes.
189
A stick one yard long that builders measure with.
190
But we use it for anything you judge your progress against.
191
She's a terrible yardstick for your Spanish.
192
Because she was six years and two years of Madrid ahead of me.
193
And a yardstick should be something steady.
194
A person moves around and you only ever see their outside.
195
I have no idea what her six years looked like.
196
Not a clue.
197
Maybe she cried in her car after her first group too.
198
Yeah.
199
Okay, I want to hear from everybody listening, because Mike and I genuinely land in different places on this.
200
When you hear someone speaking better English than you, what happens to you?
201
Do you go home and practice harder, or do you go quiet for the rest of the evening?
202
And be honest, because both are completely normal.
203
I'm the quiet one, firmly.
204
And I'm the other kind.
205
I hear someone good, and I want to compete with them, kindly.
206
Is that what we're calling it?
207
Kindly and competitively.
208
Put yourself in the comments, first type or second type.
209
I'd love to know if we're evenly split or if Mike is down there on his own.
210
I refuse to be on my own.
211
Let's find out.
212
Now, those eight months, I don't believe for a second that you did nothing.
213
No, I kept studying, just never with people.
214
I read, I watched things, I did my grammar exercises like a good student.
215
And what happened to your Spanish?
216
Eh, it stagnated.
217
Explain that one for everyone.
218
When something stagnates, it stops improving for a long time.
219
It just sits there.
220
Nothing gets worse, but nothing moves forward either.
221
It's a heavy word, and it's the right one.
222
Water stagnates when it stops flowing.
223
It goes still and green and unpleasant.
224
That was my vocabulary from March to about October.
225
And nearly everybody hits a stretch like that, especially around B1.
226
The beginning is exciting because everything is new.
227
Then you reach the boring middle, where you're still learning, but you can't feel it happening anymore.
228
And that's where people quit, isn't it?
229
Not at the hard part.
230
They quit in the boring middle, when nothing seems to be moving.
231
And in your case, one skill was much slower than the rest.
232
Your speaking was trailing behind everything else.
233
Badly.
234
When a skill trails behind, it stays slower than the others.
235
It's lagging.
236
My listening trails behind my reading.
237
That's a sentence half our listeners could say tonight.
238
Mine too.
239
I can read a Spanish news article and mostly get it.
240
Then a person asks me a simple question in the street and my mouth forgets the entire language.
241
Which is standard.
242
Reading waits for you.
243
People don't wait at all.
244
People do not wait.
245
And that's a good way into what you say when they don't.
246
Can we do your Tuesday again?
247
What do you mean?
248
I'll be her, the fast one, you be you in month three.
249
Ready?
250
Ready.
251
So, I'm mid-conversation, and I turn to you, and I go, Oh, and you must have seen the thing they built down by the river.
252
The big glass one.
253
It's awful.
254
My brother works right next to it, and he says the whole street's changed.
255
What do you think?
256
Do you like it?
257
I don't know.
258
And that was your whole answer?
259
That was my whole answer for eight months.
260
Yes.
261
What was actually going on in your head?
262
I caught about half.
263
I got River and I got your brother.
264
And by the time I'd put it together, you'd already moved on to somebody else.
265
Right.
266
That's the moment.
267
That's the tiny second where a person decides they don't belong.
268
So let's fix the moment instead of your feelings.
269
Same question, same speed.
270
But this time, you're allowed to talk.
271
Okay.
272
So the glass building by the river?
273
My brother works next to it.
274
He says the whole street's changed.
275
What do you think?
276
Sorry, could you slow down a bit?
277
I'm still learning.
278
Oh, of course.
279
Sorry.
280
So, the new building, down by the river.
281
Ah, the glass one.
282
Give me a second.
283
Take your time.
284
I think it's ugly, but my sister likes it.
285
And now we're having a conversation.
286
That felt completely different.
287
Because you stayed inside it.
288
Look at what you used, because there are three small tools in there.
289
Could you slow down a bit does most of the work.
290
Not please repeat, which gets you the same fast sentence again, only louder.
291
Louder is never the problem.
292
Never.
293
Could you slow down a bit tells the other person exactly what to change.
294
And that a bit is doing something lovely.
295
It turns a complaint into a small favor.
296
Then give me a second.
297
You're buying time.
298
Give me a second.
299
Let me think.
300
Hang on.
301
They all say the same thing.
302
I'm not lost.
303
I'm loading.
304
There's a fancier one I've heard.
305
Bear with me.
306
Oh, that one's great.
307
Be patient with me for a moment.
308
I'm getting there.
309
You hear it on the phone all the time.
310
Bear with me while I find your details.
311
And it's not formal?
312
I could say it to a friend?
313
Completely normal with a friend.
314
Bear with me.
315
I'm putting my shoes on.
316
It's just asking for a few seconds of patience.
317
I'm keeping that one.
318
Right.
319
So what's the thing I should not say?
320
Ooh, yes.
321
Please, everybody, stop opening with, my English is very bad.
322
I've said that a thousand times.
323
Everyone has, and it backfires two ways.
324
Either the other person switches to your language, if they can, and you've lost the practice completely.
325
That has happened to me.
326
One apologetic sentence, the guy switched to English, and we never went back.
327
or they believe you, and then they talk to you like you're five years old.
328
Very slow words.
329
And you're stuck in the simple version of the conversation for the rest of the night.
330
That's so much worse than being confused.
331
Slow words, loud voice, kind eyes.
332
Whereas I'm still learning carries the same information with no apology inside it.
333
calm, honest, and you're not attacking yourself in front of a stranger.
334
Which is what I did.
335
I downplayed myself before anyone had even asked me anything.
336
Downplay.
337
You explain that one.
338
To downplay something is to make it sound smaller or less important than it really is.
339
Somebody gets a promotion and says, oh, it's nothing.
340
It's just a title.
341
Or somebody says, I speak a little English and then talks beautifully for 20 minutes.
342
I know that person.
343
She downplays her English constantly, and she's better than half her office.
344
And it's a habit, not modesty.
345
People think downplaying protects them.
346
If I say I'm bad first, nobody can be disappointed later.
347
That's what I was doing on that chair?
348
Everybody does it, but it lowers the room.
349
Tell people you're bad, and they treat you as bad and then you feel bad, and the whole thing quietly comes true.
350
So, the neutral version.
351
The neutral version.
352
I'm still learning, my speaking is a bit slow, I understand more than I can say.
353
All true, and none of them an insult.
354
I understand more than I can say is a genuinely useful sentence.
355
Because it's true for nearly everyone at B1, and it tells people how to talk to you.
356
Keep going normally, just wait for my answers.
357
Let's put a few of these in your mouth while they're still warm.
358
I'll say a line, you say it straight back after me.
359
Nice and clear.
360
And if you're somewhere you can't speak, move your lips.
361
That still counts.
362
Give me a nudge if I forget.
363
Please don't downplay how far you've come.
364
I want tangible progress this month.
365
My speaking proficiency is slowly improving.
366
Good.
367
Run those again tomorrow and they'll start feeling like yours.
368
And two new words snuck in there.
369
Tangible first.
370
If something is tangible, it's real enough to see or touch.
371
Solid.
372
Not a feeling.
373
So tangible progress is progress you can point at.
374
Right.
375
I felt a bit better about my English this week is not tangible.
376
I ordered lunch and then asked the waiter a follow-up question is tangible. And proficiency?
377
Proficiency is how well you can actually use a skill.
378
It's the slightly formal word for your level.
379
My reading proficiency is higher than my speaking.
380
Which is the sentence I've been circling for the last 10 minutes.
381
It's yours now.
382
So what are you going to do about Tuesday?
383
I've been thinking about it since I sat down in the batteries.
384
I think I'll give it another shot.
385
Give it a shot.
386
To try something even when you're not sure it'll work.
387
I like that phrase because there's no pressure inside it.
388
You're not promising to succeed.
389
That's why I chose it.
390
Give it a shot sounds like I'm allowed to be bad at it.
391
You are allowed to be bad at it.
392
That's month three's job description.
393
But I'm going in with a plan this time.
394
No counting sentences.
395
What's the plan?
396
Stay the whole time and say three things.
397
That's the entire plan.
398
Three, not two.
399
One more than Mick managed.
400
Progress.
401
But this is where I get stuck.
402
If that woman isn't my yardstick, what is?
403
Because I do still want to know if I'm getting better.
404
That's a real question, and you should want to know.
405
So here's mine, and it's deeply unglamorous.
406
Every Sunday, I write one sentence on the back of the grocery list.
407
One sentence I couldn't have said a month ago.
408
Why there, of all places?
409
Because then it goes on the fridge, next to the milk and the bananas, and it stays there all week.
410
So you're seeing it whenever you go for the milk?
411
All week long.
412
Last Sunday's was in Italian, and it was me complaining that a delivery arrived late.
413
Not beautiful.
414
Extremely useful.
415
But it's tangible.
416
That's your own word coming back at you.
417
And that's the point.
418
I can't measure myself against a stranger, because I have no idea what's inside their head.
419
But I can absolutely measure myself against me in March.
420
And you always have that information.
421
Always.
422
You're the only person whose starting point you actually know.
423
Mine's messier than yours.
424
I don't write anything down.
425
I've seen your notebook.
426
There is no notebook.
427
But I do this thing.
428
Every few months, I go back to something I've already watched.
429
Same episode, same show.
430
And I see how much more I catch.
431
That's not messy at all.
432
That's a good one.
433
You think?
434
The show can't change.
435
So the only thing that could have changed is you.
436
That's a proper yardstick.
437
The first time, I understood maybe a quarter.
438
Last month, I got most of it, and I laughed at a joke.
439
You laughed at a joke.
440
Jokes are the last thing to arrive.
441
It was a bad joke.
442
Doesn't matter one bit.
443
Catching a bad joke in another language means your grasp of it is real now.
444
Grasp?
445
Your grasp of something is your understanding of how it works, like holding something in your hand except with your head.
446
I have a decent grasp of the grammar, I just can't use it fast enough yet.
447
That is my exact situation word for word.
448
True for most people around B1.
449
The grasp arrives long before the speed does.
450
I'll take that.
451
Understanding first, speed later.
452
And once a year or so, it's worth sitting down and taking stock properly.
453
Meaning what?
454
To take stock is to stop and look at where you actually are.
455
It comes from shops, counting what's left on the shelves at the end of the year.
456
We borrowed it for life.
457
Take stock of what you learned this year.
458
So bigger than the Sunday sentence.
459
Much bigger.
460
Sit down, phone away, and ask one honest question.
461
Not, how do I feel about my English?
462
What can I do now that I couldn't do last January?
463
Those give completely different answers.
464
Completely.
465
Feelings lie all day long.
466
Actions don't.
467
Then here's something that surprised me when I took stock this week.
468
On the kitchen floor, in the batteries.
469
A very dignified scene.
470
Extremely.
471
I realized I can read Spanish recipes now, all the way through, no stopping.
472
See, that's real.
473
And in March, I couldn't.
474
So something moved even while I thought everything had stopped.
475
Of course something moved.
476
It just wasn't the thing you were staring at.
477
That's how the boring middle fools people.
478
You watch your speaking, and your reading quietly climbs up behind your back.
479
Huh.
480
And can I tell you the other thing I wish more learners measured?
481
Not speed, a good turn of phrase.
482
What does that mean exactly?
483
A turn of phrase is a particular nice way of saying something.
484
Not a whole idiom, just a small combination of words that lands well.
485
You gave me one earlier without noticing. Did I?
486
You said the folding chairs pinch your fingers.
487
Well, they do.
488
That's what they're for.
489
But nobody taught you that sentence.
490
You built it, and it worked.
491
He has a lovely turn of phrase, we say.
492
And that's a much better sign of progress than talking fast.
493
Anybody can talk fast.
494
Saying something in a way that makes another person smile, that's the good part.
495
Okay, we want one from all of you now.
496
Name one thing you can say in English today that you could not say six months ago.
497
A phone call.
498
A joke.
499
Asking for something in a shop without practicing it in your head first.
500
One short sentence in the comments.
501
And read a few of the other replies while you're down there, because you'll find people standing exactly where you're standing.
502
That helps more than you'd expect.
503
Right.
504
Before we say goodbye, let's walk back through today's words.
505
I'll start where we started.
506
In your battery drawer.
507
Where all great journeys begin.
508
Nudge.
509
A small, gentle push to get you moving.
510
The name tag under the batteries was Mike's nudge.
511
And give it a shot.
512
To try something when you're not sure it'll go well.
513
Which I am now doing. When?
514
Next Tuesday.
515
The real one with a date on it.
516
Good.
517
Then we went up those narrow stairs into the room above the bakery, and three words came out of that evening.
518
Fluent first.
519
Fluent is about flow.
520
The words come out smoothly without long stops.
521
It doesn't mean perfect.
522
Then, keep up with, which is following a conversation at the speed it's really moving.
523
And, I couldn't keep up with eight people at once.
524
And, hold your own, to do okay when the people around you are stronger than you.
525
You don't win, you just stay in the room.
526
Which apparently two sentences counts as.
527
It counts.
528
Then came the arguing part of the show, and the word sitting underneath that whole argument was yardstick,
529
the thing you judge your progress against.
530
A person makes a terrible yardstick because you only ever see their outside.
531
And gauge, to judge something roughly rather than exactly.
532
I gauged her entire ability from 20 minutes.
533
Then two words for the slow stretch.
534
Stagnate is yours.
535
To stagnate is to stop improving for a long time, like water that isn't flowing.
536
My Spanish stagnated from March to October.
537
And trail behind.
538
When one skill stays slower than the others, your speaking trails behind your reading.
539
Which is nearly everyone listening, I'd guess.
540
Nearly everyone.
541
Then we ran that conversation again, and this time you stayed in it.
542
Bear with me.
543
Be patient with me for a moment.
544
I'm getting there.
545
Works on the phone, works with friends.
546
And downplay, which is the one we're asking you not to do.
547
Making something sound smaller than it really is.
548
Please stop telling strangers your English is very bad.
549
Say, I'm still learning instead.
550
Same information, no apology.
551
Then the practice lines handed us two more.
552
Tangible, real enough to see or point at.
553
And proficiency, how well you can actually use a skill.
554
And grasp, which turned up with my terrible joke, your understanding of how something works.
555
And take stock, stopping to look honestly at where you are.
556
That's the one I'd ask you to do this week.
557
Not a big review, five quiet minutes.
558
And turn of phrase, which was your favorite, a particularly nice way of saying something.
559
Small and worth noticing when somebody does it well.
560
And the last one, in hindsight, which is where this whole conversation began,
561
looking back at something and understanding it better now than you did then.
562
In hindsight, I should have stayed for the second half of that Tuesday.
563
And that's the honest ending, by the way.
564
Nobody fixed their feelings today.
565
He found a name tag and made a small plan.
566
That was all it took.
567
So if you catch yourself comparing this week, don't try to stop the feeling.
568
Just check what you're measuring.
569
They're year six against your month three isn't a result.
570
It's bad arithmetic.
571
And go find something you can compare yourself to fairly.
572
An old episode.
573
An old recording.
574
A sentence on the back of a grocery list.
575
Thanks for spending this stretch of your day with us.
576
If these conversations are useful to you, a like helps other learners find us.
577
And subscribing means the next one turns up without you having to look for it.
578
And if you go quiet in a group next week, remember two lines.
579
Could you slow down a bit and give me a second?
580
They'll carry you a long way.
581
Right, go and say something imperfect to somebody today.
582
Wish me luck for Tuesday.
583
Take care, everyone.
584
Good luck, Mick.
585
Thank you.
