Hello, today I thought we could do a longer speaking video like a podcast in English to practice listening to natural English.
Xin chào, hôm nay tôi nghĩ chúng ta có thể làm một video nói dài hơn giống như một podcast tiếng Anh để luyện nghe tiếng Anh tự nhiên.
2
So I'm going to speak at the normal pace
3
that I would speak if I was speaking to a friend or somebody I know well.
4
Often I find myself slowing down the pace at which I talk so that people can understand me.
5
And this is because in my own experience, when I've been learning a language, often I don't understand the first time somebody tells me something.
6
So I do appreciate it when people slow down their pace
7
and the rhythm with which they're speaking so that I can understand.
8
But I know as well that for more advanced or intermediate learners,
9
that this becomes a little bit futile after a while because you want to speak natural English, right?
10
So if somebody is always slowing down what they're saying, then it's not natural.
11
And it can be infuriating if people continue to speak to you like a child, almost.
12
So today I'm just going to speak at the normal pace that I would speak, like I said.
13
And I thought that would be an appropriate topic to talk about learning languages in general.
14
So as I say, it's helpful to hear the natural rhythm with which people speak.
15
And another thing that I think is always very helpful is to hear multiple different voices,
16
to hear different accents so that you become used to different voices
17
and how the language actually sounds when people are really speaking it
18
and you're not just listening to a book designed for beginners for example
19
so um to talk about my experiences learning languages I've always liked listening to audiobooks um
20
when I first start learning a language I'll obviously look for A1
21
or A2 content and if I need to I'll listen to it a couple of times
22
or maybe I will slow down the pace with which people are speaking.
23
It depends on the book, it depends on the language, it depends on how challenging I find it.
24
If it's easy then obviously I don't want to listen to it on repeat.
25
This goes with films as well.
26
I recently read that one of the best ways to really learn from watching films is to watch it about three times.
27
One time with no subtitles, just the audio in your target language then try with the subtitles in the target language as well
28
and then finally
29
if you still don't understand to use the subtitles of your mother tongue of your natural language apparently
30
this is a more effective way of learning than just watching it
31
with the audio in your target language and reading the subtitles apparently this is not very effective.
32
I don't know.
33
I'm just repeating what I've heard, but I can believe it.
34
I do see why that might be the case.
35
For example, like if I'm watching a foreign movie, like a Korean film, I don't know any Korean.
36
So if I'm just reading the subtitles in English,
37
I start to just tune out the real audio like it doesn't go in I'm purely reading
38
if that makes sense
39
so I do think it's better maybe it activates your brain a bit more it engages your brain
40
so that you really understand
41
and you take the time to process what you're both listening to
42
and reading at the same time anyway I think
43
that movies can be a really effective way to learn a language for sure um ultimately
44
I think the best way to learn a language is to choose the method
45
that works well for you people have all different kinds of learning styles for example
46
I um I think I learn best when I hear something
47
if somebody explains it to me and I listen to it
48
or if I listen to a podcast this helps me a lot more than uh than visual cues
49
but for some people visual cues are really important
50
they they won't learn the vocab they don't learn from flashcards unless there's a picture
51
and something you can associate it with in your mind
52
um so it depends on the person it depends on your language style or your your learning style sorry
53
um so everybody has their own method and
54
if you don't know yet then you need to just experiment
55
with different things maybe one thing is really helpful for you and another thing is not helpful and that's a game.
56
You just need to go through trial and error and see what works well for you.
57
That being said, as a teacher, I think that it's important to kind of hit all aspects of a language,
58
to spend some time on grammar, spend some time on vocabulary, do reading, listening, writing, speaking, hit all four of them.
59
Maybe if you prefer to read, dedicate more time to reading and less time to writing whatever works well for you
60
but I do think it's important to hit all four skills
61
at some point in the week which brings me on to another thing i want to talk about
62
and that's how much time should you spend learning a language
63
i think again this is highly individual some people have a
64
lot of free time some people can maybe spend three hours
65
a day learning a language some people have a full -time job some people have a family
66
and they can't commit to an hour a day
67
and in this case i think you know 15 minutes a day is perfect
68
it's progress it's the same with anything in life like any sport any hobby
69
if you spend 15 minutes a day doing something proactively then of course over time it builds up
70
and it amounts to something and you will see progress even
71
if you're maybe frustrated in the beginning
72
that you can't dedicate more time to this pursuit ultimately doing something is always better than doing nothing
73
so if you only have five minutes a day to learn vocab than do it
74
because five minutes is better than zero minutes.
75
For me, I have obviously noticed a bigger change if I've dedicated three hours to learning a language a day.
76
I've noticed bigger progress.
77
For example, the first language I learned after my mother tongue was Italian and for a long time I didn't have...
78
I was studying so I didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to learning Italian
79
and I was frustrated because it felt like so much time was passing
80
and every year I had the same goal to improve my Italian
81
and every year I was always so disappointed because I didn't feel
82
or notice a big difference and then one summer I spent three
83
or four hours a day studying Italian
84
and it was great
85
I noticed a really big amount of progress in a relatively small amount of time however I burnt out
86
because it wasn't really sustainable as soon as I started
87
I went back to my job as soon as I went back to my studies
88
and I had a full schedule I didn't have time for three
89
or four hours a day of studying a language you know as educational
90
and beneficial as it is it's a hobby and you still have to work you still have responsibilities
91
so in the long run it wasn't um maintainable for me
92
and so what actually happened was I crashed out for a month for a month I did no Italian
93
so overall my progress in two months was the same as it was in one month
94
because I yeah I spent a really long amount of time working on it for one month
95
and then I did nothing
96
and in this case I think it would have been better to have spent maybe an hour a day
97
or 30 minutes a day every single day doing something instead of having
98
this one period where I did a lot
99
and then followed by another period where I did nothing like I say
100
so ultimately as of everything discipline is really crucial
101
when it comes to learning a language
102
because learning a language can be fun I I find it fun that's now why I like to learn languages
103
because it's very rewarding.
104
I feel very proud of myself when I make progress in a language.
105
I love to be able to communicate with people in different languages and I think you discover so much about yourself.
106
Your personality changes or if you talk about a topic in one language and talk about the same topic in another language,
107
sometimes you realise things that you didn't realise the first time round.
108
Like you can almost see it from a different perspective.
109
I don't know if this is real or not, this is just my experience,
110
but sometimes if I talk to myself about a situation in English in my head,
111
sometimes I feel very emotionally about the issue and I'm not really able to look at it logically.
112
I'm too emotionally invested, but if I start to explain the situation in its bare bones in another language,
113
like Italian for example then maybe I'll become less emotionally attached
114
and I can start to see it more rationally see the situation as it is without the embellishments of emotion or attachment
115
and that's really helpful
116
that's an important skill to be able to think critically to be able to think rationally is
117
so important and I think it's something
118
that language learning really um permits you to do
119
so I think it's important for this reason um
120
which is kind of in itself as well a good way of learning a language
121
I think by speaking to yourself by um cooking
122
and explaining what you're doing in your target language or
123
if you're in the shower talk about your day in your target language
124
and your process um um you'll process everything
125
that you've been thinking about all day which is good for you anyway
126
but also it's great practice because you'll be using the words
127
that you need in your target language and if there's a word
128
that doesn't come to your mind you can't think of something
129
or you don't know how to explain something then that's the thing
130
you need to learn now you know what specifically what vocab you need to learn
131
because it's all very well learning like a thousand most common words
132
or 3 ,000 words to get you to level B2, that's fine.
133
But if you're not using those words often, I guarantee you, you will not remember them in the long term.
134
So it's better to, I think, better to learn the words that you will use to talk about your day,
135
to talk about subjects that are interesting for you, than to learn a lot of vocabulary that you're not actually going to use
136
and you're not actually going to remember so that's my opinion on
137
that realistically I think that learning languages has so many benefits
138
and very little cons I think the cons
139
you could really just call challenges like time commitment is a big is a big challenge
140
because like I say everybody has commitments everybody has work so sometimes it's difficult to put time aside for a hobby
141
and also another challenge is
142
that it's not always easy to learn another language for example with grammar grammar can be
143
so boring and if you're not somebody
144
that likes grammar to force yourself to learn these grammar rules about another language can be really demotivating
145
it makes you think I don't want to continue with this anymore it's not interesting for me
146
and especially if you couple of this if you couple this with the idea
147
that you've not been feeling like you're making progress recently
148
then it can be really um really difficult quite like it puts
149
you down it makes you feel like you are not clever enough to learn a language
150
which of course is silly
151
because learning a language is not about how intelligent
152
you are anyone can learn a language babies learn languages
153
it's nothing to do with intelligence I think
154
it's purely about exposure how often you hear this language how often
155
you use this language that's why I think people that people
156
that live in a country
157
that speaks their target language will learn the language more quickly than somebody who is learning the language
158
but are not surrounded by the language on a daily basis
159
and I always think of it as like
160
if you live in a country where your target language is spoken
161
you've really been thrown in the deep end like baptism by fire is a difficult situation
162
and first to adapt to for sure but ultimately i think the most rewarding
163
and the best method for learning i also think language courses can be really um helpful as well
164
because you have the incentive that you've paid money to do it
165
so um not only have you dedicated your time
166
but you've also now dedicated your finances to learning something
167
and I think that when you have
168
that kind of commitment it makes you more motivated to learn
169
and more dedicated to the task at hand so I do think
170
that those are two really good methods in the future for me personally
171
I would love to to maybe save up and then spend three
172
or four months in a country where I'm learning the language
173
and maybe working online or maybe go to a language center there
174
and learn the language as an experiment for myself see how much progress I can make in
175
that time that's really a goal of mine for sure um
176
in terms of other ways of learning languages like uh language learning apps are very popular
177
now I don't know how effective these really are I think something is better than nothing
178
if you spend five minutes on Duolingo that's better than zero minutes doing anything
179
so obviously I can support that
180
but for me for me I don't think they're the best
181
I think I spend too much time on my phone anyway to to excuse using um language apps
182
I it's really boring
183
but books are the are a really good way to learn either just reading a book
184
or studying grammar from a book
185
or making vocab lists from a language course book is boring
186
but it's the traditional method and it's been used for centuries
187
and there's a reason why because it works so I think
188
that this is a good way of learning as well some apps
189
I think can be useful I used to use Busuu
190
which was essentially like a language course in app form
191
so for the same reason it would teach you like a grammar lesson then it would give you a vocabulary lesson
192
the same as if you were doing it with a grammar book.
193
So I think that that was quite effective, but there were gaps.
194
I don't think that it explained the grammar rules very well.
195
Like I kind of could memorize the answers to the questions it gave me
196
or memorize some structures but not really understand how it works or why it works or anything like that.
197
So it was good.
198
It was good, but it wasn't great um yeah
199
and I'm not sure
200
that same with things like AI AI makes mistakes now maybe in the future it will be better
201
but AI does make mistakes so it's difficult to know um
202
if what you have done is actually correct or if uh
203
if it's has more mistakes in it and AI just isn't showing you yet
204
so it's a little bit problematic I think some of the traditional methods as boring as they are do work
205
and they have stood the test of time for a reason.
206
I also think that communication, real talk with a native speaker can be so insightful and so helpful for language learning.
207
I think it can be daunting at first.
208
The first time I spoke in another language with
209
native speakers of that language was terrifying because I know
210
that I'm making mistakes and I feel embarrassed
211
because I sound like a child and I don't want to sound like a child.
212
I want to sound like me I want to be able to express myself
213
and say what I want to say without not knowing the word
214
but it's natural it's part of the progress nobody speaks a language fluently from day one
215
it's impossible I think it's so revealing of your character
216
if you can spend the time and have the motivation
217
and discipline to learn a language by yourself
218
and then have the confidence to talk to people to native speakers knowing
219
that maybe your grammar is not perfect
220
or maybe you want to use a better word than big
221
but you don't know the word it's it's daunting it makes you feel very vulnerable
222
so I think you have to have a lot of bravery
223
and a lot of confidence to do it
224
and I feel very um proud I guess or I admire people
225
that learn languages um because I think it's a really good skill to have
226
and I think it like I said it reveals somebody's true colors
227
if they can do a challenge like that by themselves
228
so with that being said I hope
229
that this has been useful to practice listening to real um real English being spoken at my natural pace
230
I've not tried to alter anything maybe some of it is a bit challenging maybe you need to listen to it twice
231
But hey, that's part of the process.
232
I would need to do exactly the same thing too in a different language.
233
It's completely normal, completely human.
234
If you would like to see more videos like this, please let me know.
235
I will try to make some more longer videos to practice comprehensible input
236
because I think this style is really useful for learners.
237
It's useful for me when I'm learning. But that's everything.
238
So I hope you have an amazing day.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
