1
Do you ever feel like you understand everything in English?
2
You can watch movies, you understand podcasts,
3
and you can read books.
4
But when you want to speak, you freeze.
5
That is one of the most common problems English learners have.
6
Let me tell you why this happens and how to fix it.
7
Understanding the problem.
8
There are two things that you need to know.
9
Input, output.
10
Now what is input?
11
Input is whatever goes in.
12
Whatever you put in is input.
13
Such as listening and reading.
14
Because when you listen to something, you're putting information in.
15
That's input.
16
Or when you're reading something,
17
you are reading the information and you're putting that in.
18
This is input.
19
You're receiving.
20
But we also have output.
21
It is what you put out,
22
what comes out of you.
23
That is speaking or writing.
24
That is when you produce information.
25
Now the biggest problem is students have good input,
26
very strong input, but their output is weak.
27
Why does this happen?
28
Think about it.
29
How do you learn English?
30
You read books, you're watching movies,
31
you watch YouTube videos, or you listen to podcasts.
32
of these are different forms of input so it makes sense
33
that your input is great but your output is weak it makes sense
34
that you understand english but you cannot speak
35
so what's the solution the solution is to improve your output
36
that means you need to work on your writing and speaking skills
37
and that's what we're going to do right now let's start with the first one writing skills
38
four ways to improve your writing skill let's start easy i
39
want you to share your thoughts what does it mean right now you're watching this video on youtube
40
so i want you to share your thoughts go to the comments section
41
and start typing what do you think about this video do
42
you like the teacher do you like what you're seeing do
43
you like this lesson what would you like to see next
44
what do you want to see more of share your thoughts
45
for example i love this video best video ever i learned why i cannot speak
46
or write because i have never practiced i am going to practice more
47
thank you for the video this is a very simple
48
but very effective writing practice do this for every single video
49
you watch online you're watching a video on youtube go to the comments section
50
and share your thoughts what do you think about
51
that video share your thoughts
52
that was a very easy activity basically that's a warm-up now what's next let's make it more challenging i want you
53
to make a daily journal.
54
Every day I want you to write down five to ten sentences about that day.
55
What did you do?
56
How did you feel?
57
What are you going to do tomorrow?
58
What happened to you yesterday?
59
Write five to ten sentences every single day about that day.
60
And listen, you don't have to worry about grammar.
61
It doesn't matter if your grammar is right or wrong.
62
At this stage, We don't care about grammar.
63
Our only focus is on getting your output to work.
64
So start writing 5 to 10 sentences every day about that day.
65
Today, I watched a YouTube video.
66
I realized my problem isn't grammar.
67
It's writing and speaking.
68
so I am going to write in my journal every day.
69
This doesn't take much time but you have to do it every day.
70
Try to make this a habit.
71
I know it's difficult.
72
It will only take probably five to ten minutes of your day.
73
Please do it.
74
It's going to help you a lot.
75
Okay so far we started easy.
76
As a warm up, you're going to share your thoughts in the comment section
77
and then you're going to write five to ten sentences every day about
78
that day now this third activity i want you to do may be a bit more challenging
79
but it's very good i want you to choose a very simple topic very simple topic
80
and then write one paragraph about it the topic should be simple for example
81
what makes me happy or what was the best advice i ever got
82
or my biggest dream or my dream house
83
or my perfect holiday for each topic you're going to write at least 100 words one paragraph is enough
84
but listen the important thing about this activity is
85
that now grammar is important your grammar
86
and your structure they matter how can you check your grammar
87
after you have written the 100 word paragraph i want you to go to chat gpt
88
or any other ai model gemini or whatever you have
89
and use this prompt pasted in chat gpt to get feedback
90
here's the prompt i am trying to improve my writing skill find my grammar
91
and vocabulary mistakes explain why they are wrong
92
and show me the corrected version
93
and then paste your writing in this way you're not only
94
writing one paragraph about a simple topic you are also correcting your paragraph using chat gpt
95
or any other ai model and you're getting feedback on what you've written
96
so your mind starts thinking about accuracy
97
and structure okay now you have practiced writing one paragraph let's
98
go to the final level at this level i want you
99
to write a full essay about a topic start with familiar topics
100
and as you get better get to more complicated topics now
101
here you're not going to write one paragraph you're going to write at least three to four paragraphs about
102
that subject the topics can be more challenging for example is technology improving education this forces you to think
103
and to produce more and more and more content.
104
It's not just about sharing your thoughts anymore.
105
It's about structuring that text.
106
It's not just one paragraph.
107
It's about three to four paragraphs.
108
And again, at this stage,
109
grammar and structure, they are very important.
110
So again, I want you to use the prompt I gave you
111
and ask ChatGPT or any other AI models to give you feedback.
112
And if you don't like ChatGPT,
113
we have built something fascinating for you.
114
When you join the POC English Academy,
115
you will have access to our latest AI tools.
116
You can practice your writing.
117
When you write for our AI model,
118
it will start processing your answer.
119
It will show you your mistakes,
120
how to correct them, why you made those mistakes and what was wrong with those sentences,
121
and it also analyzes your overall text and gives you four scores of grammar,
122
vocabulary, coherence and cohesion, and one overall score.
123
This is very helpful.
124
I highly recommend joining the POC English Academy by clicking on the link above this video.
125
Go ahead, check it out.
126
And now, the writing part is over.
127
What should we do for our speaking skill?
128
Six ways to improve your speaking skill.
129
Again, let's start easy.
130
The first thing I want you to do is a very basic exercise.
131
I want you to open a book and start reading loudly.
132
You're going to read the book aloud.
133
Now you might say this is reading,
134
this is not speaking, but let me tell you one thing.
135
This is improving your speaking muscle.
136
Yes, speaking is a muscle.
137
And you can train it to have muscle memory.
138
Think of it as a warm-up.
139
You're warming up your speaking muscles.
140
This is a very important activity.
141
Don't underestimate it.
142
Open a book.
143
Start reading loudly.
144
One of the best ways to improve your English is to join the POC English Academy.
145
You will have access to four complete courses,
146
AI tools to practice speaking and writing,
147
a student community to make friends and find study partners,
148
and daily live lessons on Zoom every day.
149
Wow!
150
See that was very easy, but it's highly effective.
151
I want you to do it.
152
Now let's go to the second task.
153
I want you to do the same thing I want you to open a book
154
and start reading loudly
155
but this time I want you to stand up walk around the room as you are doing it
156
and imagine that you are presenting this information to an audience
157
but how does this help again you are improving your speaking muscles you're trying to train muscle memory
158
but But at the same time,
159
you're doing a trick in your mind.
160
What's the trick?
161
You are turning a reading activity,
162
which basically is input, into an output activity.
163
You are training your mind to not only read,
164
but also try to deliver.
165
You have an imaginary audience,
166
you're reading this aloud, but you are trying to read this to them.
167
That's the trick are working on the muscle memory here
168
and you're also imagining delivering information to others
169
that is the first step of improving your spoken output okay
170
enough with the easy steps what's the third step the third
171
step is the shadowing technique it's very simple very effective
172
and very fun to do in the shadowing technique you're going to choose one person that you really like
173
a native speaker with a great accent.
174
Now the accent can be American,
175
it can be British, Australian, whatever you like.
176
Choose one person with a very clear accent
177
and then find a video on YouTube of that person and this is what you're going to do with that video.
178
You're going to play the video,
179
listen carefully, pause after every sentence and repeat.
180
Play, listen, pause, repeat play listen pause repeat play listen pause repeat that's what you're going to do let me demonstrate
181
one of the people
182
that i really like in terms of their english is barack
183
obama the way barack obama speaks i i don't think i've ever heard anyone as clear as him
184
so i've selected one of his videos
185
and i'm going to play it listen carefully pause and repeat this is what i want to do let's go
186
I wanted to be a basketball player.
187
I wanted to be a basketball player.
188
You know, architect.
189
An architect.
190
There were a bunch of different things.
191
Politician.
192
There were a bunch of different things.
193
Politician was not on the list.
194
Politician was not on the list.
195
The way I came into it.
196
The way I came into it.
197
I was inspired by social movements.
198
I was inspired by social movements.
199
Do this every day.
200
It's a simple activity.
201
You don't have to do a lot.
202
You don't have to talk to other people.
203
If you are shy, don't worry.
204
Just play the video on your laptop,
205
on your phone, and then listen and repeat.
206
That's called the shadowing technique.
207
Now, step four.
208
This is something I used to do as a child,
209
and this is something
210
that i would probably say helped me the most talk to yourself now this is a gem
211
because as an introvert as a person who is very shy
212
i could not easily speak with other people i was mainly
213
at home in my bedroom how could i improve my fluency
214
how could i improve my speaking skill i couldn't the only
215
way for me to improve my fluency was to sit down
216
and talk to myself imagine this situation and imagine
217
that i am talking to an audience
218
or i'm talking to a good friend of mine or a teacher
219
or a coach
220
or to my imaginary girlfriend back then you know i think the reason why people are struggling nowadays is
221
because the economy is bad it's harder for people to make
222
money what do you think mm-hmm totally agree with you yes
223
yeah i think you're completely right totally agree with you man you're the best yeah
224
so just imagine a situation and start speaking with yourself
225
and don't worry if people think you're crazy i had a teacher who used to say
226
if you want to improve your speaking skill you need to be a little crazy
227
and that's absolutely right you need to be you will look into the mirror talk to yourself in the mirror
228
or just sit down Talk to her.
229
Imagine that you have a bunch of friends around, talk to them.
230
Now we are in 2025,
231
almost 2026 now, and we have AI, so use it.
232
Another activity that you can do right now,
233
even if you are shy,
234
even if you think your level is not good,
235
even if you don't have the self-confidence to start speaking immediately,
236
is to practice speaking with AI.
237
Speaking with AI.
238
I mean, writing to AI is fun,
239
it's good, But I prefer speaking because you're trying to improve that muscle memory, remember?
240
You're trying to work on your spoken output.
241
So don't just type, try to speak.
242
And yes, I understand a lot of the AI models,
243
if you want to access the speaking feature,
244
you need to pay for a premium account.
245
But I think if you use Microsoft Co-Pilot or probably now even ChatGPT,
246
you get like, I don't know,
247
five to ten minutes per day of free speaking access.
248
It's very simple.
249
You just open ChatGPT and click on the voice mode.
250
Wait.
251
And then start talking.
252
Hi, I'm a student.
253
I want to improve my English speaking skill.
254
Can you help me?
255
Absolutely.
256
I'd be happy to help you out.
257
We can just have a chat
258
and you can practice speaking with me feel free to talk about anything you're interested in
259
and i'll give you some feedback
260
or tips along the way uh let's just start easy um ask me a question sure let's keep it nice
261
and easy how about this can you tell me about a hobby you really enjoy
262
and why you like it uh yes i like tennis
263
because i think tennis is a very fun sport that's awesome tennis is definitely a fun and and dynamic support.
264
See, that is enough.
265
I think I proved my point.
266
You can use an AI model to practice speaking.
267
It's very good.
268
But if you wanna do it, you need to pay.
269
Also, again, if you join POC English Academy,
270
we have built an AI speaking teacher for you.
271
You can use this AI tool to work on your speaking skill.
272
This AI tool will ask you questions.
273
You will have to answer.
274
It analyzes your answers, and it will give you feedback on your grammar,
275
vocabulary, coherence, and cohesion, and an overall score.
276
So again, if you want to have access to all of these cool AI tools that we have built for you,
277
together with our four courses and our amazing student community,
278
go ahead, click on the link,
279
and check out our website.
280
Let's get to the final one.
281
This is very important, and I think it's fair to say that this is the ultimate goal of learning a language.
282
Why do you study English?
283
Because ultimately, you want to be able to communicate with other people, right?
284
Yes, you can learn English to write better or to,
285
I don't know, understand movies and TV series.
286
But if you're watching this video,
287
that means your understanding is okay.
288
You just want to speak.
289
And why do you want to speak?
290
Because you want to be able to talk to other people, right?
291
So this is exactly what I want you to do.
292
I want you to talk to other people.
293
Yeah, it's going to be hard you're going to have to find someone who is also studying English.
294
You're going to have to find a group of people who are also at the same level
295
or a similar level to you and are working on improving their English.
296
And it's not easy.
297
It's hard.
298

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.
