1
Hello and welcome back to English Unleashed!
2
I'm Tom.
3
Today we are going to talk about a quiet, problem.
4
it is not a loud problem it does not shout.
5
It does not break anything.
6
It just sits next to you and whispers, Not...
7
Now.
8
Okay.
9
You want to study English, but the whisper says, not now.
10
You see your notebook, but the whisper says, "Not now." Later.
11
You hear a podcast episode, but the whisper says, "Tomorrow,
12
not now." And the strange thing is this: You are not saying no to English.
13
You are saying yes, but not today.
14
That is why procrastination is tricky.
15
Procrastination means delaying something.
16
You know you should do it.
17
But you do not do it now.
18
You leave it for later.
19
but later is a very dangerous word.
20
Later sounds nice.
21
Later sounds calm.
22
Later sounds possible.
23
but many times later becomes never.
24
You say, I will study after lunch.
25
Then after lunch, you say,
26
"I will study in the evening." Then in the evening you say, "Oh, I'm tired.
27
I will study tomorrow." Tomorrow comes and the same thing happens again.
28
So today I want to help you stop this cycle.
29
A cycle is something that goes round and round.
30
You delay, you feel bad, and you make a new plan.
31
But you delay again, and you feel bad again.
32
We want to break this cycle.
33
but we will not do it with big motivation.
34
I will not tell you work harder.
35
I will not tell you be more serious.
36
I will not tell you study for three hours every day.
37
No!
38
Today we will use small, smart, and simple ideas.
39
because many English learners do not need more pressure.
40
They need an easier start.
41
That is our first big idea.
42
Do not ask, "How can I study more?" Ask,
43
"How can I start more easily?" Starting is often the hardest part.
44
Imagine there is a cold swimming pool in front of you.
45
You know swimming is good for you, but the water looks cold.
46
So, you stand there, you look at the water, you touch it with your hand,
47
you wait, you think, you wait more.
48
The more you wait, the colder the water feels.
49
But if you put one foot in the water, something changes.
50
You're not only thinking now, you have started.
51
English study is like that.
52
Do not try to jump into a long study session Put one foot in.
53
Open your notebook.
54
Write the date.
55
Press play.
56
Repeat one sentence.
57
Read one line.
58
That is your one foot in the water.
59
When you start small, your brain does not fight so much.
60
Your brain does not like big, unclear tasks.
61
If you say, "I must improve my English," your brain says, Well, that is too big.
62
Thank you.
63
If you say, "I must become fluent," your brain says, "That is too far away." But if you say,
64
"I will repeat one sentence," your brain says, "Okay, I can do that." So,
65
the first rule is this: Make the start tiny.
66
Not small, tiny.
67
A tiny start can be 30 seconds.
68
In 30 seconds, say one useful phrase.
69
Write one sentence about your day.
70
Listen to one short part of a podcast.
71
Read one message in English.
72
Name five things in your room.
73
This may sound too easy, but that is the point.
74
When the start is easy, you start more often.
75
And when you start more often, you learn more.
76
Now let's talk about another problem.
77
Many learners make English too formal.
78
They think English study must happen at a desk.
79
They imagine a serious book, a quiet room, a long session, and a perfect plan.
80
But real life is not always quiet.
81
Real life is messy.
82
You have food to cook.
83
You have messages to answer.
84
You have work.
85
You have family.
86
You have noise.
87
You have tired days!
88
So do not wait for a perfect study moment.
89
Make small English moments inside your real life.
90
I call this, touching English.
91
You do not need to hold English for one hour.
92
Just
93
touch it many times
94
when you make tea say five sentences i am making tea
95
the water is hot i need a clean cup i am a little tired I will study after this.
96
When you put on your shoes, say three sentences.
97
I am putting on my shoes.
98
I am going outside.
99
The weather looks cold.
100
When you open the fridge, say what you see.
101
There is milk.
102
There are eggs.
103
I need to buy fruit.
104
This is simple, but it is real.
105
And real English is powerful.
106
Many learners delay English because English lives far away from their day.
107
It lives in a book.
108
It lives in an app or in a course.
109
Bring English closer.
110
Bring it into your kitchen, your bedroom, your street, your bus, your bag, your coffee, your walk.
111
When English is close, it is easier to start.
112
Here is another fresh idea.
113
Start in the middle.
114
Many learners cannot start because they want to start perfectly.
115
They want Lesson 1, Page 1, Exercise 1.
116
They want the perfect beginning.
117
But sometimes the perfect beginning becomes a wall.
118
So start in the middle, open a podcast and listen from the middle for one minute.
119
"Open a book and read one paragraph." Open your notebook and choose one old sentence.
120
Open a video and listen to one sentence only.
121
You do not always need a beautiful beginning.
122
You need contact with English.
123
Imagine you enter a room where people are already talking.
124
You do not say, "Please start the conversation again from the beginning." You listen,
125
you catch a few words, and you slowly join.
126
English can be like that.
127
You can enter from the middle.
128
This removes pressure.
129
Now let's talk about the almost study problem.
130
Almost study.
131
This is when you feel like you are studying, but you are not really studying.
132
For example, you search for the best English podcast.
133
You'll get many videos.
134
You choose a notebook.
135
You organize your apps.
136
You watch videos about how to learn English.
137
you save many lessons All of this feels useful.
138
But sometimes it is not study.
139
It is preparation.
140
Preparation is good, but too much preparation becomes procrastination with nice clothes.
141
You remember what procrastination means, don't you?
142
Procrastination means delaying something, okay?
143
Now you will always remember this word.
144
So, ask yourself a simple question.
145
Am I using English now?
146
Not planning not searching, not organizing your words or sentences, using English.
147
Am I listening?
148
Am I speaking? Am I reading? Am I writing?
149
am i remembering if the answer is no do one small action Say one sentence out loud.
150
Write one sentence.
151
Repeat one phrase.
152
Listen to 10 seconds again.
153
Use English now, not later.
154
Now, I want to give you a special tool.
155
It is called the English receipt.
156
A receipt is the small paper you get after buying something.
157
It shows what you bought.
158
It also shows the price.
159
At the end of your study, write your English receipt.
160
Only three lines.
161
Today I used this phrase.
162
I put it off.
163
Today I said this sentence: I keep putting off my English study.
164
To put off means to delay something.
165
Tomorrow I will start with this: I will repeat yesterday's sentence.
166
That is your receipt.
167
Now, you may ask, why is this useful?
168
It is useful because it proves that you studied.
169
Your brain can see the result.
170
You do not finish with a week feeling like, hmm, maybe I get something.
171
You finish with a clear proof.
172
many learners feel bad because they do not see progress a receipt shows small progress.
173
and small progress gives you energy.
174
Okay, now let's talk about energy.
175
You cannot have the same energy every day.
176
Some days you feel strong.
177
Some days you feel normal.
178
Some days you feel like a tired potato.
179
Yes, a tired potato.
180
Untired potato days, do not use your normal plan.
181
Use your tiny plan.
182
A tiny plan can be this: listen to English for one minute,
183
say three sentences, review just one phrase, then stop.
184
That's it!
185
Do not laugh at the tiny plan.
186
The tiny plan is important.
187
It keeps the door open.
188
A learner who does five minutes on a bad day is not failing.
189
Dad learner is protecting the habit.
190
Think of your English habit like a small plant.
191
On good days, you give it water, you give it sunlight and time.
192
On bad days, you just give it a little water.
193
So when you have low energy, say, "Today I will not grow the plant a lot.
194
I will just keep it alive." This is a kinder way to learn.
195
Now let's talk about fear.
196
Some learners delay English because they are afraid.
197
afraid of mistakes, afraid of forgetting words, afraid of hearing their own voice,
198
afraid of sounding slow, afraid of seeing that they are not as good as they want to be.
199
This fear is normal.
200
But we need to make practice feel safer.
201
Here is one way.
202
Use private speaking.
203
Private speaking means you speak English when nobody is listening.
204
You can speak to the wall.
205
You can speak to your phone.
206
You can speak in the car.
207
You can speak while walking.
208
You do not need an audience every time.
209
For example, ask yourself one easy question: "What did I do today?" Then answer for 30 seconds.
210
Today, I woke up early.
211
I had coffee.
212
I worked for a few hours.
213
I felt tired and in the afternoon.
214
Now I am practicing English.
215
That is enough.
216
Do not stop for every mistake.
217
Keep moving.
218
After that, choose one sentence and make it better.
219
Maybe you said, "I worked few hours.
220
Make it better." I worked for a few hours.
221
That is real improvement.
222
Okay, before we finish, I want you to remember this sentence: Procrastination wants English to feel big.
223
So make English small.
224
small enough to start.
225
small enough to repeat, small enough to do on a bad day, small enough to bring into your real life.
226
One sentence is small.
227
One minute is small.
228
One phrase is small.
229
but small things become big when you repeat them.
230
So today, after this episode, do not make a big plan.
231
Do one thing.
232
Say this sentence out loud: I kept putting it off, but today I finally started.
233
Say it again: I kept putting it off, but today I finally started.
234
Now change it for your life.
235
I kept putting off my English practice, but today I finally started.
236
Good!
237
That is your first step.
238
That is your one foot in the water.
239
That is your small door.
240
And that is how you stop delaying, how you stop procrastinating.
241
Thank you for listening to English Unleashed.
242
I'm Tom.
243
Start small today and I will see you in the next episode.
244
Bye for now.

Context & Background
In this engaging podcast episode by Tom, the focus is on the common challenge of procrastination faced by English learners. Tom discusses how procrastination can sneak into our study routines, whispering to us to delay important tasks. He emphasizes that many learners are not saying no to learning English but simply not at that moment. This gentle and relatable approach is designed to inspire beginners at the A1 and A2 proficiency levels to overcome their hesitation and embrace small, manageable steps toward language learning. By reframing the way we approach studying, Tom sets the stage for breaking the cycle of delay and frustration.
Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication
- "Not now" - A common expression that encapsulates procrastination.
- "Later" - The deceptive word that often leads to delay.
- "I will study after lunch" - A commitment that can easily become a missed opportunity.
- "I'm tired" - A common excuse that arises when motivation wanes.
- "How can I start more easily?" - A powerful rephrase that encourages easier entry into study routines.
Step-by-step Shadowing Guide
Practicing shadow speech is a fantastic method to enhance your English speaking skills and break through the barriers of procrastination. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to effectively use shadowing with this podcast episode:
- Choose the Right Material: Start by selecting a segment of the podcast that resonates with you. Shorter phrases are often easier for beginners.
- Use a Shadowing App: Utilize a shadowing app that allows you to listen and repeat the podcast audio. This will help you sync your pronunciation with Tom's speech.
- Listen and Repeat: Play a sentence, pause, and then repeat it. Focus on mimicking the intonation and rhythm of the speaker. Try to master phrases like “Not now” and “I will study after lunch.”
- Record Yourself: Use your smartphone to record your voice while you shadow. This will allow you to hear the differences between your pronunciation and that of the speaker.
- Practice Regularly: Consistency is key. Set aside a few minutes daily to practice shadowing. As you become more comfortable, gradually increase the length of the segments you shadow.
Embrace the journey of learning English by making use of resources like a shadowing site or community forums to share your experiences. Remember, the goal is to take that first step—and keep moving forward!
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.
