1
Let me ask you something.
2
Do you ever feel like you're not confident enough?
3
Like you're holding back in conversations or hesitating to speak your mind, especially in English?
4
Why do some people seem naturally confident while others struggle silently?
5
Today we're diving into a big topic, confidence.
6
What's the secret behind it?
7
And more importantly, how can you build real strong confidence that lasts?
8
But here's the best part.
9
While we're talking about confidence, you'll also be improving your English at the same time.
10
So whether you're walking, driving, or relaxing at home, stay with me.
11
You're going to feel better and sound better by the end of this episode.
12
Let's get started.
13
You know, people often think confidence is about being loud, or always knowing what to say, or walking into a room and making everyone look at you.
14
But that's not true.
15
Real confidence is something quieter.
16
It's something you feel inside.
17
It means you trust yourself even when you're nervous, even when you don't have all the answers.
18
It's not about being perfect.
19
It's about being okay with who you are.
20
For example, think of someone who speaks English slowly, but clearly, and with a smile.
21
That's confidence.
22
They don't need to be fast.
23
They just speak, and they trust their voice.
24
That's the kind of confidence we're talking about today.
25
Let me ask you something.
26
Have you ever felt like you weren't good enough?
27
Maybe when you spoke English and someone didn't understand you?
28
Or maybe in your job or school when you made a small mistake and suddenly felt like a failure?
29
It happens to everyone.
30
Confidence can break quickly, but it can also grow again.
31
The reason we lose confidence is usually fear.
32
We're afraid of what people think.
33
We're afraid to look silly.
34
We're afraid of not being perfect.
35
But fear doesn't help you.
36
It holds you back.
37
And the first step to confidence is being willing to try even when you're scared.
38
Let me tell you a quick story.
39
One of my students said to me, I want to speak perfect English.
40
If I make a mistake, I feel terrible.
41
And I asked, why perfect?
42
She paused and said, because if I'm perfect, I won't be judged.
43
But that's not how life works.
44
We all make mistakes, even native English speakers.
45
Confidence doesn't come from perfection.
46
It comes from trying, learning, and moving forward.
47
So instead of aiming for perfect, aim for progress.
48
Speak, make mistakes, learn, and repeat.
49
That's how confidence grows.
50
You know that little voice in your head?
51
The one that says things like, I can't do this, or I'm not smart enough?
52
That voice is powerful.
53
But here's the good news.
54
You can change it.
55
Start noticing your thoughts.
56
When you catch yourself thinking, I'm bad at English, stop.
57
Replace it with, I'm still learning and I'm getting better.
58
It may sound simple, but this kind of mental shift changes how you feel and how you speak.
59
The words you use in your mind become the confidence you show on the outside.
60
Let me ask you this.
61
Do you sometimes look at other people and think, wow, they're so confident.
62
I wish I could be like that.
63
It's normal.
64
We all compare ourselves.
65
But the problem is, we usually compare our inside to someone else's outside.
66
You might see someone speaking fluent English and think, they're perfect.
67
But you don't see their journey, their mistakes, their practice.
68
Confidence doesn't grow by watching others.
69
It grows when you focus on your own path.
70
Ask yourself, am I better than I was last year, last month, yesterday? that's what really matters.
71
Confidence isn't built in one big moment.
72
It grows in small steps.
73
Think of this.
74
When you say one full sentence in English, that's a win.
75
When you ask a question in class, even if your voice shakes a little, that's a win.
76
When you show up, try and don't quit, that's confidence being born.
77
So don't wait for something huge.
78
Look for your small wins.
79
celebrate them.
80
Every single one is a brick in the foundation of real confidence.
81
Here's something a lot of people don't realize.
82
Confidence isn't something you're born with.
83
It's something you practice, just like learning English, playing guitar, or cooking.
84
The more you do it, the better you get.
85
The people you think are naturally confident.
86
They've had moments of fear too, but they practice showing up anyway, and you can do the same.
87
Start small.
88
Speak up in a safe place.
89
Ask a question.
90
Try a new sentence in English.
91
The more you do it, the more natural it becomes.
92
This might surprise you, but most confident people didn't feel confident before they acted.
93
They acted first, and then the confidence came.
94
Let's say you're afraid to speak in a meeting or join a conversation in English.
95
If you wait until you feel ready, you might wait forever.
96
Instead, take the action.
97
Say one sentence.
98
Ask one question.
99
Take one step.
100
Confidence often shows up after you act, not before.
101
Have you ever apologized for your English?
102
You say, sorry, my English is not good before even starting.
103
But guess what?
104
That apology tells people you're unsure.
105
And it makes you feel smaller.
106
Try this instead.
107
Speak.
108
Just speak.
109
No apology.
110
No explanation.
111
You're learning.
112
And that's something to be proud of.
113
Confidence isn't about being perfect.
114
It's about showing up without shrinking yourself.
115
Confidence doesn't mean you're always comfortable.
116
In fact, it often means being uncomfortable and still showing up.
117
Think about when you speak English and your heart beats fast, or when you're about to give your opinion and you're nervous.
118
That's discomfort.
119
But it's not danger.
120
It's not a sign to stop.
121
It's a sign that you're growing.
122
The more you sit with that feeling, the less power it has.
123
You get used to it.
124
And soon, it doesn't stop you anymore.
125
Did you know your body speaks before your mouth does?
126
Stand tall, make eye contact, relax your shoulders.
127
These things don't just show confidence, they create it.
128
Try this.
129
Next time you speak, adjust your posture.
130
Feel strong in your body.
131
Even if you're nervous inside, your body can support you.
132
And slowly, that outside posture starts to change your inner voice too.
133
One reason people feel unsure is they don't feel ready.
134
But when you prepare, when you practice your sentences,
135
learn the vocabulary, review the topic, your confidence grows naturally.
136
gives you a base to stand on.
137
It doesn't mean memorizing everything.
138
It just means being familiar enough to trust yourself when you speak.
139
Even native speakers prepare for interviews, speeches, conversations.
140
You can too.
141
Here's a mindset shift.
142
You don't need permission to be confident.
143
You don't need someone to say, you're good enough now, you can speak up.
144
Confidence means giving yourself that permission.
145
You are allowed to take space.
146
You are allowed to speak.
147
You are allowed to make mistakes.
148
You are allowed to shine.
149
It's not selfish.
150
It's not arrogant.
151
It's human.
152
What if we stopped seeing mistakes as failures?
153
Imagine this.
154
Every time you make a mistake in English, it means you're learning something new.
155
You're stretching.
156
You're experimenting.
157
That's a sign of growth.
158
Confidence comes when you understand that mistakes are part of the path.
159
You don't need to fear them them.
160
You can welcome them and learn.
161
Want more confidence?
162
Speak more often.
163
You don't need a perfect environment.
164
You don't need a classroom, just a few minutes a day.
165
Talk to yourself, record your voice, read aloud.
166
It's like a muscle.
167
The more you use it, the stronger it gets.
168
Daily speaking practice helps you stop overthinking,
169
and over time, your voice will sound stronger, smoother, and more confident.
170
The people you spend time with affect your mindset.
171
If you're around people who always doubt themselves, you might start to do the same.
172
But if you're around people who take chances, support each other, and believe in growth, That lifts you up.
173
Even listening to confident English voices, like podcasts or conversations, can help shift your thinking.
174
So be intentional about what voices you surround yourself with.
175
Take a second right now.
176
Think of one thing you've done in English that you couldn't do a year ago.
177
Maybe it's understanding this podcast.
178
Maybe it's speaking to someone new.
179
Maybe it's writing an email in English without help.
180
That's real progress.
181
And it deserves to be celebrated.
182
Confidence grows when you notice how far you've come, not just how far you still have to go.
183
Confidence doesn't explode into your life.
184
It builds slowly, over time, with consistency.
185
Show up again and again.
186
Speak even when you're tired tired, listen to English every day, learn a little every time.
187
It's not magic, it's not luck, it's habit.
188
And when you build a habit of courage, your confidence becomes unshakable.
189
Let me leave you with this.
190
You are more capable than you realize.
191
The fact that you're listening right now, that you care about your growth, that you want to speak better,
192
live better, and feel better?
193
That's confidence already.
194
It's not about feeling 100% ready.
195
It's about being brave enough to begin.
196
So keep going.
197
Keep speaking.
198
Keep learning.
199
Your confidence is already growing.
200
One word, one thought, one day at a time.

Về Bài Học Này

Bạn đang luyện tập phát âm tiếng Anh với video "English Podcast For Learning English | How to Be More Confident" bằng phương pháp Shadowing — kỹ thuật được Dr. Alexander Arguelles phổ biến rộng rãi.

Hãy nghe kỹ từng câu, chú ý cách người nói nhấn âm và nối âm, rồi đọc lại to và tự tin. Mỗi ngày 15–30 phút luyện đều đặn, bạn sẽ thấy phát âm chuẩn hơn.

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.
