AI apps and language tutors are everywhere these days.
2
They promise to make you fluent.
3
They promise to make you confident.
4
So do they actually work?
5
In the apps and tools that I've tried,
6
and from what our members have shared with me,
7
I've noticed a few things that don't align with true fluency,
8
and things that might not give you the confidence that you need in those moments that really matter.
9
Hello, hello!
10
Welcome back to everyone joining me from all around the world today.
11
My name is Emma.
12
I'm the founder of HeyLady,
13
an online community that connects women through English.
14
We bring together women who've learned English as a second language
15
to practice speaking in real conversations in a supportive space so
16
that we have the confidence to use English in the moments that really matter.
17
At work, when we're travelling and in everyday life.
18
If you've been learning English for a while now but you still struggle to speak confidently,
19
you are in the right place.
20
You can join me
21
and thousands of others around the world right here every week as we break down the barriers
22
that stop you or keep you from speaking confidently in English.
23
Alright, let's get into the episode.
24
This week's episode was inspired by a question sent by Marina from Brazil.
25
Hello Emma.
26
I've been seeing so many ads for AI apps to speak English.
27
They all say they will correct all my mistakes and help me get fluent and confident faster.
28
But you're always telling us that we need to speak with real people.
29
So I would like to ask what you think about AI and does it really work?
30
Marina, great question.
31
And honestly, you're not the only one wondering this right now.
32
I think the reason why so many of us are drawn to AI for speaking practice is because it feels,
33
it feels safe.
34
It's available whenever you want, instantaneously.
35
It doesn't get tired.
36
It doesn't judge you.
37
And it corrects every mistake.
38
So for many women, this feels like the perfect solution.
39
And in many ways, AI is really helpful,
40
especially with generating ideas and answering questions,
41
providing role plays, improving the way that you write.
42
When you're a beginner, it can be really,
43
really helpful to prompt your speaking practice in this way.
44
If you're at an intermediate level or higher,
45
I think that choosing AI as a way to build your confidence
46
and your fluency speaking is something that you need to be a little cautious about.
47
So what do I mean by that?
48
Well, look, there's a very clear pattern among the thousands of women that we've helped at Hey Lady.
49
Women who have arrived with a belief that they need to be correct before they feel confident.
50
That their English has to be perfect,
51
otherwise they won't be understood or even worse, they might be judged.
52
Maybe you can relate to these same thoughts or feelings as well.
53
But here's why it's a problem.
54
These AI apps that correct you all the time are focused on your accuracy.
55
So they're highlighting errors, they're giving you a score,
56
they tell you what you got wrong and then they tell you in the next sentence and again and again.
57
When you're first learning English, accuracy is really important.
58
It's that input.
59
You're learning basic grammar, You're learning the words that you need to describe the world around you.
60
It gives you that solid foundation.
61
But once you move beyond that beginner stage,
62
there are so many other skills that become much more useful,
63
much more useful than just the input,
64
the knowledge on its own.
65
By training you to think about grammar rules while you're speaking,
66
AI tools are reinforcing the idea that English is a test that you have to pass every time.
67
That every single sentence is right or it's wrong.
68
There's something to fix or there's not.
69
But the thing that I want you to keep in mind is that speaking English,
70
having a conversation with someone, that's not an exam.
71
It's an exchange.
72
We're passing messages.
73
We're sharing thoughts and opinions and ideas between each other.
74
And just like in your native language,
75
that exchange when you're speaking, it's often imperfect.
76
You've got to be thinking on your feet and reacting to things.
77
You've got to find ways to use the language
78
that you already have to find points of connection between you and the person that you're talking to.
79
And this is all so you can have a positive experience together,
80
a successful experience together.
81
We've been doing this since we were kids and we're still doing it today as adults.
82
It's this lifelong learning and evolution.
83
In natural conversations, if you choose the wrong word or you break a grammar rule,
84
the conversation doesn't stop while the other person corrects you, does it?
85
Real conversations are often a little bit messy.
86
They're often unpredictable.
87
And it's about reacting to those different variations or those different moments
88
and building up the confidence to be able to do that.
89
With AI, you can't practice what happens when someone interrupts you
90
or when they can't find the right word or
91
when the conversation starts to take an unexpected turn and you feel your face getting hot and your blood rising, right?
92
These are the real
93
and unescapable moments of communicating in real time with real people who are right there in front of you.
94
These moments, the ones when our fear of being judged quickly begins to appear,
95
these moments, they are going to happen.
96
And in my opinion, speaking with an AI is like a bubble where nothing can go wrong.
97
Yes, it might feel comfortable right now, but it's not real.
98
So what's the missing piece then?
99
Something that I think we can all agree on is that AI is definitely programmed to please us.
100
And hey, there's nothing necessarily wrong with that.
101
Most of the time, it feels really good to have someone telling you
102
that your ideas are great and that you're really awesome.
103
I like it as well.
104
But in many ways, it's kind of a false or an artificial sense of achievement, right?
105
You didn't really get to know each other.
106
You didn't truly connect.
107
You never persuaded someone to a different point of view.
108
That conversation wasn't meaningful.
109
It was functional.
110
And when you look closely at what makes a conversation meaningful,
111
you realize that it's exactly what AI is missing.
112
Empathy.
113
It can't put itself in your shoes or compare its life to your life experiences.
114
It didn't grow up somewhere.
115
It can't genuinely share a nostalgic tradition from your home country
116
or share what it feels like to celebrate a new child coming into your family.
117
Real people bring lived experience and AI can be programmed to predict or to guess the right words to say,
118
perhaps what to say when you're feeling tired or grieving or angry or proud,
119
but it doesn't understand what it feels like to be excluded
120
or to be left out or to feel the joy of finally being included in a conversation.
121
It's never actually lived those experiences because it's artificial.
122
And one last thought that I have about this is that AI is great at one-to-one,
123
but life is not one-to-one.
124
Your work meetings, your family dinners,
125
social events, they involve groups and each person brings their own personality and tone.
126
So navigating that requires experience with other people, different people, different personalities.
127
This is where you learn how to read the room.
128
This is what we say in English.
129
It's where we get to learn from
130
social cues or cultural cues of seeing or hearing
131
or watching people interact with each other in the spaces in front of us.
132
Communicating with a group of people is where so much learning happens,
133
so many skills develop, skills that are impossible to develop in one-to-one AI conversations.
134
So what's the better path forward?
135
The women who've made the biggest breakthroughs in our community are not necessarily the ones with the best grammar
136
or the widest knowledge.
137
They're the ones who showed up and spoke with lots of different people
138
and learned to express their ideas about different topics in different contexts.
139
They learned how to connect with their identity and their true self in English.
140
They didn't wait until they were perfect.
141
They started talking.
142
And from there, they grew.
143
They gained experience using the language that they already knew,
144
that they had inside them already.
145
And they proved to themselves,
146
Hey, I can be understood.
147
I can connect.
148
I'm actually having a good time.
149
Even if they're making mistakes.
150
Improving your accuracy.
151
Learning new grammar, more vocabulary,
152
more phrasal verbs, more slang.
153
All of those things become much easier once you build the capacity
154
and the confidence to speak with the language that you already have.
155
Here's what I want you to take away from today.
156
AI is a tool.
157
It's a useful tool.
158
And it definitely has a place in language learning.
159
But it can't replace the experience of real human interaction, real conversation.
160
That's what we're here for, right?
161
AI doesn't care about the journey that you're on.
162
It doesn't understand the challenges or even the trivial little moments that pop up during your day.
163
I know that for many of you,
164
taking that first step to start speaking more,
165
to speak more regularly, knowing that it's going to be a little messy
166
and knowing that you will make mistakes and feel a bit flustered,
167
that can be difficult and it can be a little scary.
168
It can be something that you put off and off and off.
169
But the fear that you feel about speaking to real people is exactly why you need to do it.
170
It's where that real growth happens, in the messy middle.
171
You don't need more corrections from a robot,
172
sorry AI, but you don't need more corrections.
173
You don't need to perpetuate that belief that it has to be perfect,
174
that you have to fix it.
175
Instead, commit to showing up with other real people and work it out together.
176
Work on these challenges together.
177
That's exactly what happens inside Hey Lady.
178
Inside Hey Lady, you can practice with real women who understand exactly how you feel,
179
who are working through those same challenges
180
or who were exactly where you are right now
181
and they know how to make you feel safe and supported
182
and encouraged as you are doing something hard and challenging and difficult.
183
If you'd like to come and try Hey Lady out,
184
you can find the link down in the show notes in the description.
185
You can start with a free trial and come along to your first conversation this week,
186
tomorrow, right now.
187
Thank you so much for being here today.
188
I want you to remember that nothing beats real human connections.
189
You are perfectly imperfect, just like the rest of us.
190
See you next time.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
