34
OK, fine.
35
But I will say it was not that bad.

It was pretty bad.
37
Moving on.
38
Tom, can I ask you something? Of course.
39
What's up?
40
How do you practice English every day?
41
Oh, great question.
42
Every morning I listen to English podcasts.
43
like this one.
44
Like this one.
45
Good answer.
46
And I talk to myself in English in the shower.
47
You talk to yourself in the shower?
48
Every day, I say things like, "Good morning, Tom.
49
Today is a great day." That is actually really smart.
50
Thank you.
51
I think so too.
52
What else do you do?
53
I read signs when I walk outside.
54
Bus stop, coffee shop, restaurant menu.
55
I read everything in English.
56
Oh, I do that too.
57
I read the menu at cafes, even when I already know what I want.
58
Ha ha ha, me too!
59
I always order the same thing, but I still read the whole menu.
60
Because it's practice.
61
Exactly, everything is practice.
62
Okay, let's talk about grammar for a moment.
63
Today's grammar point is simple but very useful.
64
It's the present simple, Kents, for habits and routines.
65
Yes, we use present simple to talk about things we do every day, every week, things we do regularly.
66
Like practicing English!
67
Exactly.
68
Let me show you the structure.
69
It's easy.
70
Listen.
71
Are you ready?
72
Here we go!
73
I practice English every day.
74
I listen to podcasts every morning.
75
She reads English books at night.
76
He watches English videos on YouTube.
77
Did you hear the pattern?
78
The verb is simple: practice, listen, read, watch.
79
no ing, no will, Just the simple form.
80
Tom, can you make a sentence?
81
Yes.
82
I talk to myself in the shower every morning.
83
Perfect and very personal.
84
Thank you.
85
I try.
86
Now you try.
87
Pause the video, make your own sentence.
88
Use "I practice English every day" by...
89
Tell us your sentence in the comments.
90
We read every single one.
91
We really do.
92
Okay, now let's talk about real tips, real habits, things you can start today to practice English every day and speak more confidently.
93
We have eight tips for you.
94
Eight!
95
Tip number one.
96
This is my favorite tip, and yes, it's the shower thing.
97
Tell them the story, Tom.
98
OK, OK.
99
So last Tuesday morning, I am in the shower, and I am practicing my English.
100
I say, "Good morning.
101
Today I will eat breakfast.
102
I will eat eggs and toast." Sounds normal so far.
103
And then I walk out of the bathroom, and my roommate is standing there drinking coffee, looking at me.
104
Oh, no. He says, Tom?
105
Who were you talking to?
106
and I say, myself.
107
English.
108
And he says, "For how long?" And I say, "About 15 minutes." 15 minutes?
109
He didn't say anything.
110
He just walked away.
111
That is amazing.
112
But my English got better, so worth it.
113
Talking to yourself is great practice.
114
You are not embarrassed.
115
There's no pressure.
116
You can make mistakes.
117
It's safe.
118
Safe and private it except when your roommate is there try this today
119
when you wake up say good morning my name is and say your name today is and say the day.
120
Simple.
121
Repeat after me.
122
Good morning!
123
Today is a great day to practice English!
124
Say it out loud.
125
Don't be shy.
126
Tip number two: Change your phone language to English.
127
This one is powerful.
128
I did this two years ago, and at first it was scary.
129
I didn't understand everything.
130
What happened?
131
The first day, I couldn't find my settings.
132
I was looking for… I don't know the word in English… the place where you change the brightness.
133
Display settings?
134
Yes!
135
minutes looking.
136
10 minutes just for brightness.
137
That's so good!
138
But after one week, I knew every word: home screen, lock screen, notifications, battery, storage, all of it.
139
Because you see those words 100 times a day.
140
Exactly.
141
Repetition is the key.
142
You don't study it, you just see it over and over.
143
So today, go to your phone settings, change the language, be brave!
144
And if you get lost, just Google it in English.
145
Good tip inside a tip.
146
Tip number 3: Watch English videos with English subtitles.
147
Not your own language subtitles, English subtitles.
148
This is very important.
149
When you read your own language, your brain is lazy.
150
It stops listening.
151
Your brain says, "Oh, I understand the subtitles.
152
I don't need to listen." Yes, lazy brain.
153
But English subtitles?
154
Your brain works.
155
You listen and you read at the same time.
156
Double practice.
157
I have a fun story about this.
158
Last year, I was watching an American cooking show with English subtitles.
159
Oh, what show?
160
I don't remember the name, but there was a chef and he said, this dish is to die for.
161
Oh, to die for, that's an expression.
162
I know that now, but at the time I was terrified.
163
You were scared?
164
I started laughing.
165
I paused the video and I called my friend.
166
I said, "Someone is going to die in this cooking show." Lily!
167
My friend said, "Lily, no. It means the food is very, very delicious." To die for.
168
It means something is so good you would die for it.
169
I learned that expression very fast.
170
I will never forget it.
171
That's the power of watching.
172
Real English.
173
Real expressions.
174
Start with 10 minutes a day.
175
Just 10 minutes.
176
You can do it.
177
Tip #4: Very Important.
178
When you see a new word, say it out loud.
179
Don't just read it in your head.
180
Your mouth needs to practice too.
181
Your brain knows a word, but your mouth doesn't.
182
This is so true.
183
I know so many words that I can read and understand, but when I try to say them, Nothing comes out your mouth freezes.
184
It does it freezes the word is inside my brain, but it can't get to my mouth The word is like let me out.
185
Let me out.
186
Yes exactly like that So
187
when you learn a new word today say it three times
188
out loud Let's practice right now repeat after us ready confident say it Confident.
189
I feel confident.
190
Practice.
191
I practice English every day.
192
Speak.
193
I speak English.
194
Yes!
195
Did you say it out loud?
196
Good!
197
That is how you build speaking confidence.
198
Say it.
199
Feel it.
200
Believe it, I speak English.
201
Tip number five.
202
Use English in the kitchen.
203
The kitchen?
204
Yes.
205
When you cook, name everything in English.
206
The things around you.
207
Like a walking dictionary.
208
Exactly.
209
Point at things.
210
Say the word.
211
Spoon.
212
Fork plate.
213
Cup, fridge, stove.
214
Oh, this is fun.
215
I did something like this.
216
Tell us.
217
Okay, so one evening I was making dinner and I decided to label everything in my kitchen with sticky notes in English.
218
I love that idea.
219
I put a note on the fridge that says fridge, a note on the door that says door, a note on my cup that says cup.
220
Very organized, Tom.
221
And then my mom called me on video and she saw all my sticky notes.
222
What did she say?
223
She said, "Tom, are you okay?
224
Why are labels on everything?" And I said, "I'm practicing English, Mom !" And she said,
225
"Tom, you are not five years old." Your mom.
226
But it worked!
227
I still remember every word.
228
Sticky notes are a fantastic idea.
229
Put them everywhere.
230
Kitchen, bedroom, bathroom.
231
Learn the words around you first.
232
Tip #6: Find one person to practice English with.
233
Just one.
234
You don't need ten people, just one friend.
235
One person who wants to practice English, too.
236
You can meet online.
237
There are many apps, many websites, many communities.
238
or maybe someone at school.
239
at work, in your neighborhood.
240
And here is the key: make a rule when you are together only English.
241
Only English.
242
No cheating.
243
No sneaking in your own language because it's easier.
244
Tom and I do this sometimes when we record.
245
We only speak English.
246
Yes, even when it's hard, even when I forget a word.
247
What do you do when you forget a word?
248
I describe it.
249
I say, "The thing you used to..." and I describe the object.
250
Yes, that is real English skill.
251
When you can describe something you don't know the word for, you are speaking.
252
You're not just memorizing, you're communicating.
253
Find your English partner.
254
Practice together.
255
Make mistakes together laugh together.
256
And comment below if you want an English practice partner.
257
Our community will help you.
258
Tip number seven: Keep a small English journal.
259
A journal?
260
Like a diary?
261
Yes, but very simple.
262
Every day write three sentences in English.
263
Just three, not thirty.
264
Three!
265
Today I ate rice.
266
The weather is hot.
267
I feel tired.
268
That's it.
269
Three sentences every day for one year.
270
That is 1 ,095 sentences.
271
And after six months, read your old sentences.
272
You will see how much you have improved.
273
That is so motivating!
274
I have a journal story.
275
When I started my journal, my first sentence was, "Today I am happy." That's sweet!
276
Every single day.
277
Today I am happy for three weeks.
278
The same sentence?
279
Because it was the only sentence I knew, and I was always happy, so it was true.
280
Valid.
281
Very valid.
282
But after three weeks, I wrote, "Today I am happy because I ate a big bowl of noodles
283
and the noodles were warm and delicious." Look at that improvement!
284
Three weeks!
285
The sentences grow, your English grows too.
286
Tip number eight.
287
And this is maybe the most important one.
288
What is it?
289
Celebrate your small progress.
290
Every day.
291
Aww, I love this one.
292
When you learn one new word today, celebrate.
293
Say, "I did it!
294
I learned a word today !" When you say one sentence in English and someone understands you, celebrate.
295
When you watch an English video and understand one sentence, Celebrate!
296
Many people stop studying English because they think they are not good enough.
297
They think, "I am too slow.
298
My English is bad." But they forget how far they have come.
299
You are here right now, listening to English, understanding English.
300
That is already amazing.
301
You are already practicing.
302
You are already improving.
303

305

Why Practice Speaking with This Video?
The video "How to Practice English Every Day and Speak Confidently" provides invaluable insights for English learners at any level. Engaging with this content helps you not only grasp the language better but also boosts your confidence in speaking. As Tom and Lily share their personal experiences, they emphasize the importance of daily practice—an essential element in language retention.

This consistent practice will enable you to converse with ease and join the community of over 9,200 learners who are on their journey towards fluent English. Embracing their engaging approach can transform your speaking ability, making it more authentic and confident.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the video, a few key structures stand out that can effectively enhance your English conversation skills:
- Present Simple Tense: "Every morning I listen to English podcasts." This structure is used to express habitual actions, indicating that daily practices are central to improvement.
- Questions for Engagement: "Can I ask you something?" This conversational technique invites response, essential in interactive dialogue.
- Positive Affirmations: "Today is a great day." Such expressions can help build confidence and create a positive mindset for learning.
- Use of Imperatives: "Hit that subscribe button." This direct command can enhance your speaking clarity when prompting others to take action.
These structures offer a practical framework that you can implement in your daily conversations. By incorporating them into your practice routine, especially with tools like a shadowing app or a shadow speak strategy, you will see marked improvements in your fluency.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you practice speaking, it's essential to be aware of certain pronunciation challenges listeners might encounter. Here are a few tips based on the video content:
- Words with unclear vowels: Pay close attention to the way "podcasts" is pronounced. Ensure you clearly articulate both syllables to avoid confusion.
- Linking Sounds: In phrases like "talk to myself," listen for how the words blend together. This technique mirrors the natural flow of conversational English and is crucial for improving your English pronunciation.
- Word Stress: When the speakers emphasize certain words, like "every" and "day," notice which syllables are stressed. Proper stress in your speech can enhance clarity and comprehension.
By practicing these tricky pronunciations through shadowing exercises using a shadowing site, you can fine-tune your accent and ensure your speech sounds more natural. By mastering these elements, you'll be well on your way to speaking English confidently!

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.
