Welcome back to another episode of Podcast and Chill.
2
I'm Leo, your cheerful host,
3
and today we have an exciting topic to discuss.
4
Hi, everyone.
5
I'm Gwen.
6
It's great to have you all here with us again.
7
Gwen, are you ready for today's topic?
8
Absolutely, Leo.
9
Let's dive right in.
10
So today, we'll talk about how to learn English by yourself.
11
Interesting.
12
Setting clear goals is very important when learning English by yourself.
13
Without goals, it's easy to feel lost or unmotivated.
14
Also, a SMART goal needs to be specific,
15
measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound.
16
For example, instead of saying I want to improve my English,
17
you could set ASMART goal,
18
like I will learn and use 10 new English words every day for the next month.
19
But when setting goals, we should know that there are short-term and long-term goals.
20
Can you explain what long-term and short-term goals are?
21
Sure.
22
Long-term goals give us a big picture.
23
For example, becoming fluent in English for work or travel.
24
They are big things you want to achieve in the future.
25
Yes.
26
And short-term goals are smaller,
27
more immediate steps that help you reach your long-term goals.
28
Like learning grammar rules this month or practicing speaking skills next month.
29
Exactly.
30
Short-term goals could also include things like reading one English book every two weeks or watching an English movie every weekend.
31
Remember, it's also important to celebrate your progress and adjust your goals as you go.
32
This keeps you motivated and helps you stay on track.
33
When, after setting our goals, what's next?
34
Next, we need to find the right resources to help us achieve those goals.
35
Thankfully, there are many online resources available,
36
both free and paid, that can make learning English easier and more enjoyable.
37
That sounds great.
38
Can you give us some examples?
39
Sure.
40
One of the most popular apps is Duolingo.
41
It's free and covers a wide range of topics with fun, game-like lessons.
42
I've heard of Duolingo.
43
It's It's really engaging and keeps you motivated with its point system.
44
Another great resource is BBC Learning English.
45
They offer a variety of lessons and videos on grammar,
46
vocabulary, and even British culture.
47
It's a fantastic way to improve your skills with real-life examples.
48
I think having real-life context can really help make the language stick.
49
What else do you recommend?
50
There's also Memrise.
51
It's a great app that uses spaced repetition to help you remember new words and phrases.
52
You can learn at your own pace and even compete with friends.
53
Competing with friends sounds like a fun way to stay motivated.
54
Exactly.
55
And don't forget about YouTube channels like English Shaddock,
56
which offer free lessons and tips on learning English.
57
It's like having a personal tutor available anytime.
58
With so many resources, there's really no excuse not to practice and improve our English every day.
59
Absolutely, Leo.
60
Utilizing these resources can make learning English more accessible, fun, and effective.
61
Gwen, can we talk more about YouTube?
62
There are so many channels that help with learning English.
63
Of course, YouTube is a fantastic resource for learning English.
64
There are channels for every learning style.
65
Can you recommend some good channels?
66
Sure.
67
One great channel is English Speaking Course.
68
They offer clear and simple lessons on everyday conversation.
69
It's perfect for beginners.
70
That sounds helpful.
71
What else do you suggest?
72
Another excellent channel is Learn English with Jessica.
73
Jessica uses fun methods to teach grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation.
74
She makes learning enjoyable.
75
Jessica's lessons sound fun.
76
Do you have any other recommendations?
77
There's Learn English Podcast.
78
It's perfect for those who enjoy listening to podcasts.
79
They cover various topics and real-life conversations,
80
which helps improve listening skills.
81
Podcasts are great for listening practice.
82
Do they also provide transcripts?
83
Yes, Leo, they provide transcripts so you can read along while listening.
84
It's a great way to improve both listening and reading skills.
85
With these channels, it feels like we have our own English teachers available anytime.
86
YouTube makes learning English accessible, interactive, and fun.
87
There's always something new to learn.
88
Gwen, after setting goals and finding resources,
89
how can we make sure we study consistently?
90
That's a great question, Leo.
91
Creating a study schedule is key.
92
It helps us stay organized and ensures we dedicate time to learning every day.
93
So, how do we start making a study schedule?
94
First, look at your daily routine and find a time slot that works best for you.
95
It could be in the morning, afternoon, or evening.
96
Choose a time when you are most alert and can focus well.
97
That makes sense.
98
Should we study every day?
99
Yes.
100
It's important to study a little bit every day,
101
rather than a lot at once.
102
Consistency is key.
103
Even 15-30 minutes a day can make a big difference.
104
What if we miss a day?
105
It's okay to miss a day sometimes.
106
Just try to get back on track the next day.
107
The goal is to create a habit of studying regularly.
108
Should we plan what to study each day?
109
Of course, planning what to study each day helps you stay focused.
110
For example, you could practice vocabulary on Mondays,
111
listening on Tuesdays, speaking on Wednesdays, and so on.
112
That sounds like a good plan.
113
Can we also use online resources in our schedule?
114
Definitely.
115
Incorporate online resources like Duolingo or BBC Learning English into your schedule.
116
For instance, you can do a lesson on Duolingo every morning or watch a video on BBC Learning English in the evening.
117
Thanks, Gwen.
118
With a good study schedule,
119
it sounds like learning English can become a part of our daily routine.
120
Consistency and planning are the keys to success in learning any language.
121
Now, let's talk about practicing speaking English.
122
Practicing speaking is very important.
123
Here are some tips to help you practice on your own.
124
One simple way is to talk to yourself in English.
125
Describe what you're doing or thinking.
126
That's a great idea, Gwen.
127
Sometimes I pretend I'm hosting a show and talk about my day in English.
128
It's fun and helpful.
129
Another tip is to record yourself speaking.
130
Listen to the recording and see where you can improve.
131
And don't be too hard on yourself.
132
It's about learning and getting better over time.
133
Using language exchange apps like HelloTalk or Tandem is also very effective.
134
Absolutely.
135
You can practice with native speakers and make new friends from around the world.
136
And don't forget to join language clubs or online groups.
137
Speaking with others regularly helps build confidence.
138
The more you practice, the more natural it becomes.
139
Goal.
140
Definition.
141
An aim or desired result.
142
Example, setting clear goals is very important when learning English.
143
Resources, definition, materials, money, and other things that can be used.
144
Example, we define the right resources to help us achieve those goals.
145
Consistency, definition, doing something the same way over time.
146
Example, consistency is key in learning any language.
147
Achieve.
148
Definition, to successfully reach a desired objective or result.
149
Example, planning what to study each day helps keep you focused and achieve your goals.
150
Schedule.
151
Definition, a plan that gives events or activities and the times that they will happen or be done.
152
Example, creating a study schedule is key.
153
Celebrate.
154
Definition, to do something enjoyable because of a special occasion or success.
155
Example, it's important to celebrate your progress.
156
What online resources were mentioned in the conversation that can help with learning English?
157
They mentioned Duolingo, BBC Learning English,
158
Memrise, and YouTube channels like English Addict,
159
English Speaking Course, Learn English with Jessica,
160
and LEP Learn English Podcast.
161
Why do Gwen and Leo think it's important to set both short-term and long-term goals when learning English?
162
They say it's important because long-term goals give you a big picture and future targets like becoming fluent in English.
163
Short-term goals are smaller and immediate,
164
helping you reach the long-term ones,
165
like learning grammar rules this month or practicing speaking next month.
166
Now let's discuss immersing yourself in English.
167
Yes, Leo.
168
Immersing yourself in English is crucial for improving your language skills.
169
Gwen, why is it so important to surround yourself with English?
170
When you're surrounded by English,
171
you naturally start to think in English and improve your understanding.
172
It's like when children learn their native language by being constantly surrounded by it.
173
They hear it, see it,
174
and use it every day.
175
Creating an English environment around us works the same way?
176
Exactly.
177
By immersing yourself in English,
178
you are giving your brain the chance to pick up the language naturally,
179
just like a child learns their first language.
180
That makes sense.
181
So, what are some ways to do this?
182
One effective way is to watch movies and TV shows in English.
183
Try to watch with English subtitles to help with understanding.
184
I love watching comedies in English.
185
They are fun and educational.
186
Another method is to listen to English music.
187
Pay attention to the lyrics and try to sing along.
188
Yes, and reading books, articles,
189
or blogs in English can also help a lot.
190
It expands your vocabulary and understanding.
191
Absolutely.
192
You can start with simple books or articles and gradually move to more complex materials as you improve.
193
And don't forget about online forums and groups.
194
Joining English-speaking communities helps you practice and learn from others.
195
Yes, interacting with native speakers and other learners can boost your confidence and speaking skills.
196
So, the more you surround yourself with English, the faster you'll improve.
197
Immersing yourself in the language makes learning more natural and enjoyable.
198
Gwen, do you remember how we used to make flashcards in school?
199
Yes.
200
Flashcards are a classic method for learning and memorizing vocabulary.
201
And now with technology, we have apps that make this even easier and more effective.
202
Absolutely.
203
Apps like Enki and Quizlet use flashcards,
204
but add features like the Spaced Repetition System, or SRS.
205
SRS is great because it helps you review words just before you're likely to forget them,
206
making your study sessions more efficient.
207
Right.
208
By spacing out your reviews,
209
you reinforce your memory at just the right times.
210
And using apps like Anki and Quizlet is so convenient.
211
You can study on the go,
212
whenever you have a few spare minutes.
213
That's right, Leo.
214
These apps also let you create your own flashcards or use sets made by other learners,
215
which can save time and provide new learning perspectives.
216
So, everyone make sure to check out Anki,
217
Quizlet, and other vocabulary apps.
218
They're powerful tools to help you learn and remember English words more effectively.
219
Incorporate these tools into your daily study routine and see how much faster you can learn.
220
It's all about finding what works best for you and making the most of it.
221
Gwen, one thing I've found really helpful is tracking my progress.
222
Do you do that too?
223
Yes, Leo.
224
Keeping track of your progress is essential.
225
It helps you see how far you've come and keeps you motivated.
226
How do you track your progress, Gwen?
227
I use a study journal.
228
Every day, I write down what I studied,
229
what I learned, and any challenges I faced.
230
It helps me reflect on my learning.
231
That sounds great.
232
I also like to set milestones and celebrate when I reach them.
233
For example, after learning 100 new words,
234
I'd treat myself to something nice.
235
Celebrating milestones is a fantastic idea.
236
It makes the learning process more enjoyable and gives you something to look forward to.
237
Exactly.
238
It doesn't have to be something big.
239
Even small rewards, like a favorite snack or a short break, can be motivating.
240
Another great way to track progress is using apps that monitor your learning activity.
241
They can show you stats and graphs of your improvement over time.
242
Apps like Duolingo and Memrise have features that let you see your streaks and achievements,
243
which is very motivating.
244
So everyone, start keeping a study journal and use tracking apps.
245
Celebrate your milestones no matter how small.
246
It's all about recognizing your hard work and enjoying the journey.
247
Keep pushing forward and rewarding yourself along the way.
248
Keep learning and celebrating everyone.
249
Surround Definition, to be all around something or someone.
250
Example, when you're surrounded by English,
251
you naturally start to think in English and improve your understanding.
252
Environment Definition.
253
The surroundings or conditions in which a person,
254
animal, or plant lives or operates.
255
Example.
256
Creating an English environment works the same way as when children learn their native language.
257
Improve.
258
Definition.
259
To make or become better.
260
Example.
261
When you immerse yourself in English,
262
you are giving your brain the chance to pick up the language naturally and improve.
263
Lyrics Definition The words of a song Example Listen to English music,
264
pay attention to the lyrics,
265
and try to sing along Confidence Definition A feeling of self-assurance arising from an appreciation of one's own abilities or qualities
266
Example Interacting with native speakers and other learners can boost your confidence and speaking skills Reward
267
A thing given in recognition of service, effort, or achievement.
268
Celebrating milestones with small rewards,
269
like a favorite snack or a short break, can be motivating.
270
Why is it important to surround yourself with English according to Gwen?
271
According to Gwen, it is important to surround yourself with English
272
because it helps you naturally start to think in English
273
and improve your understanding similar to how children learn their native language by being constantly surrounded by it.
274
What methods does Gwen suggest for immersing yourself in English?
275
Answer, subtitles, listening to English music and paying attention to the lyrics,
276
reading books, articles, or blogs in English,
277
and joining English speaking online forums and groups to practice and learn from others.
278
Well, that's all the time we have for today folks.
279
We hope you found our tips helpful and inspiring.
280
Remember, learning English is a journey, not a race.
281
Set your goals, use the resources available,
282
and most importantly, enjoy the process.
283
And don't forget to celebrate those small wins along the way.
284
Every step forward is a step towards success.

About This Lesson
Welcome to today's lesson where we will explore effective strategies for learning English independently. In this session, you will practice setting clear, achievable goals that will guide your learning process. We will delve into the importance of distinguishing between short-term and long-term goals, and how these can enhance your motivation and focus. Additionally, you will discover various online resources that can support your English learning journey, from vocabulary enhancement to grammar comprehension.
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- SMART goals: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound objectives that guide your learning.

- Long-term goals: Broader ambitions, such as achieving fluency in English for professional or travel purposes.
- Resources: Online tools or materials that aid in learning a new language.
- Celebrate progress: Acknowledge and reward yourself for achieving milestones in your learning journey.
- Real-life context: Practical situations where language skills are applied, making learning more relatable.
Practice Tips
To enhance your English learning experience, consider using the shadowing technique as a practice tool. This involves listening to audio and repeating what you hear, which can significantly improve your English pronunciation. Given the engaging and conversational tone of the video, start by playing segments of the podcast and pause after every few sentences. Repeat the phrases and sentences aloud. This method, often referred to as shadowspeak, allows you to mimic the rhythm and intonation of the speakers, which is crucial for sounding natural in English.
Pay attention to the pace of the speakers, adjusting your own speech to match it. If the conversation feels too fast, rewind and listen again to ensure you fully grasp the pronunciation and emphasis on words. This repetition not only boosts your listening skills but also helps solidify vocabulary in your mind. Remember, the more you practice shadow speech with various resources, the easier it will be to implement what you've learned into your everyday conversations.
As you progress, make sure to set both short-term and long-term goals while incorporating these practice strategies. Regularly reassess your objectives, and don’t forget to celebrate your improvements along the way!

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.
