Hello everyone and welcome back to Slow and Simple English Podcast where every conversation helps you learn.
3
I'm Alex.
4
Hello Alex.
5
Hello everyone.
6
I'm Lisa.
7
How are you today, Alex?
8
I am doing very well today, Lisa.
9
I had a fun experience this week.
10
Oh, what happened?
11
I met a new neighbor.
12
He moved in next door.
13
We had a long conversation.
14
We talked for maybe 30 minutes outside.
15
That sounds nice.
16
Was he friendly?
17
Very friendly.
18
And he is also learning English.
19
He told me he studies every day.
20
But when he talks to real people, he freezes.
21
Freezes?
22
Like he cannot speak?
23
Yes.
24
He knows the words.
25
He knows the grammar.
26
But when he opens his mouth, everything disappears.
27
Oh, I know this feeling very well.
28
You do?
29
Yes.
30
One time I was at a coffee shop.
31
A tourist asked me for directions.
32
In English.
33
My heart went very fast.
34
I forgot every word.
35
I just pointed.
36
Just pointed.
37
No words.
38
No words.
39
Only my finger.
40
Lisa, that is actually a perfect introduction to our topic today.
41
My pointing finger is the topic?
42
Today we are talking about how to feel less nervous when speaking English.
43
I really need this one.
44
But first, before we start,
45
we have a small request.
46
Yes.

Thank you so much.
51
It helps us so much.
52
We love our listeners.
53
Okay, let's talk about speaking English without so much fear.
54
Alex, can I ask you something first?
55
Of course.
56
Why do people feel nervous when they speak English?
57
Even when they know the words?
58
That is a great question.
59
And the answer is simple.
60
They are afraid of making mistakes.
61
Yes, I am always afraid.
62
What if I say the wrong word?
63
What if people don't understand me?
64
What if they laugh?
65
Exactly.
66
These fears feel very real.
67
But here is the truth.
68
Most people are not listening for your mistakes.
69
They are listening for your meaning.
70
My meaning?
71
Yes.
72
What you are trying to say,
73
not how perfectly you say it.
74
People want to understand you.
75
That is all.
76
So they don't care about perfect grammar?
77
Most people, no. They just want to have a conversation.
78
A connection.
79
Connection.
80
Two people understanding each other.
81
Yes.
82
And today I have five tips to help you feel less nervous.
83
Less nervous when you speak English.
84
Five tips.
85
My neighbor with the pointing finger is also listening.
86
I will learn together with her.
87
Perfect.
88
Let's start.
89
Tip one.
90
Remember that mistakes are normal.
91
Just remember that?
92
Yes.
93
but really remember it.
94
Put it in your heart, not just your head.
95
What do you mean?
96
Many learners know mistakes are normal,
97
but when they make a mistake, they feel terrible.
98
They stop.
99
They go red.
100
They want to disappear.
101
Yes, this is me.
102
My face goes red and I want to run away.
103
I know, but think about this.
104
When a child learns to walk, they fall down.
105
many, many times.
106
Yes.
107
Every child falls.
108
And do we laugh at the child?
109
Do we say, you walked wrong, sit down?
110
No. We clap.
111
We say, good job, try again.
112
Exactly.
113
Learning English is the same.
114
You will say the wrong word.
115
You will use the wrong tense.
116
You will mispronounce something.
117
Mispronounce?
118
What does that mean?
119
Mispronounce means you say a word in the wrong way.
120
For example, you say vegetable as veg table with four clear sounds.
121
but native speakers usually say it fast, like vegetable.
122
Oh, I definitely mispronounce many words.
123
Everyone does, at every level.
124
Even native speakers sometimes say words differently from each other.
125
There is no one perfect way.
126
So I don't need to be perfect.
127
I just need to try.
128
That is exactly right.
129
Mistakes are not the opposite of learning.
130
Mistakes are part of learning.
131
Mistakes are part of learning.
132
I like that.
133
Tip one, mistakes are normal.
134
Every single time.
135
Tip two, practice with safe people first.
136
Safe people?
137
Yes.
138
A safe person is someone who will not judge you.
139
Someone who is patient.
140
Someone who supports you.
141
Like a friend?
142
Yes, or a family member,
143
or a classmate, someone you feel comfortable with.
144
You don't need to practice with strangers first.
145
Start with someone safe.
146
This makes sense.
147
With my friend Min, I can make mistakes and she just smiles.
148
She helps me find the word.
149
Yes, that is a safe person.
150
With Min, you can try,
151
you can fail, you can try again, no pressure.
152
Pressure?
153
That means stress?
154
Like someone is pushing you?
155
Exactly.
156
Pressure means you feel forced.
157
You must do well.
158
You cannot fail.
159
With a safe person, there is no pressure.
160
And after I practice with safe people,
161
does it get easier with strangers?
162
Yes.
163
Slowly.
164
Think of it like swimming.
165
You learn in a small, calm pool first.
166
Not in the ocean.
167
Not in the ocean.
168
Start in the pool.
169
Your safe person is the pool.
170
The coffee shop tourist is the ocean.
171
You work up to the ocean.
172
So I should have practiced more in the pool before the tourist came.
173
Yes.
174
More pool time for Lisa.
175
More pool time?
176
I understand.
177
Tip 2.
178
Practice with safe people first.
179
Start in the pool.
180
Tip 3.
181
Focus on the other person, not on yourself.
182
What do you mean?
183
When people are nervous, they think too much about themselves.
184
They think, am I speaking correctly?
185
Is my grammar right?
186
Does my accent sound strange?
187
How do I look?
188
Yes, I do all of this,
189
all at the same time.
190
And when you think about all of those things, what happens?
191
I forget what I want to say.
192
Exactly.
193
Your brain is too busy.
194
It is watching yourself instead of having a conversation.
195
Watching myself, like I am the audience and the speaker at the same time.
196
That is a very good way to say it.
197
So the solution is simple.
198
Stop watching yourself.
199
Look at the other person.
200
Listen to them.
201
Think about what they are saying.
202
Think about their words, not my words.
203
Yes.
204
Focus on understanding them.
205
Focus on what you want to say to them,
206
not on how you sound.
207
But what if I don't understand a word they say?
208
Then you ask.
209
Simply and politely, you say,
210
sorry, can you say that again?
211
Or what does that mean?
212
These are normal phrases.
213
Even native speakers ask for repetition?
214
All the time.
215
It is not embarrassing.
216
It is good communication.
217
Embarrassing means feeling ashamed, yes?
218
Let my face goes red.
219
Exactly.
220
Embarrassing means you feel uncomfortable and ashamed.
221
But asking again is never embarrassing.
222
It shows you want to understand.
223
Okay.
224
Next time I will focus on the other person,
225
not on my red face.
226
Tip 3.
227
Focus on the other person, not on yourself.
228
Tip 4.
229
Prepare some phrases before you speak.
230
Phrases?
231
You mean sentences?
232
Yes.
233
Small, useful sentences.
234
You prepare them before the conversation,
235
so when the moment comes,
236
you already have the words ready.
237
Like having tools in your pocket.
238
I love that, yes.
239
Exactly like tools in your pocket.
240
You reach in and use them.
241
What kind of phrases?
242
Let me give you some examples.
243
Phrases for when you don't understand.
244
Sorry, can you repeat that?
245
Or can you speak more slowly, please?
246
Oh, I need that one.
247
Can you speak more slowly, please?
248
Yes.
249
Phrases for buying time.
250
When you need a moment to think.
251
That's a good question.
252
Or let me think for a second.
253
Buying time?
254
I like that.
255
I am buying myself one more second to find the word.
256
Exactly.
257
And phrases for checking understanding.
258
do you mean, or so you are saying.
259
These are so useful.
260
I never knew I could say,
261
let me think for a second in English.
262
You can.
263
And it sounds very natural.
264
Nobody thinks it is strange.
265
Everyone needs a moment sometimes.
266
So I can prepare maybe five or ten phrases and use them when I need them.
267
Yes.
268
You don't need to prepare a whole speech.
269
Just a few key phrases.
270
They give you confidence.
271
Confidence?
272
That means feeling sure about yourself?
273
Yes.
274
Confidence means you believe in yourself.
275
You feel ready.
276
You feel able.
277
I want more confidence.
278
These phrases give you a starting point.
279
And once you start, the words usually come.
280
Tip 4.
281
Prepare phrases.
282
Tools in my pocket.
283
Perfect.
284
And tip 5.
285
My favorite.
286
What is it?
287
Celebrate every small win.
288
Small win?
289
What is a win?
290
A win is when something goes right, something good happens.
291
A small win is a very small good thing.
292
Give me an example.
293
You ordered a coffee in English and the person understood you.
294
Small win.
295
You asked someone for the time in English.
296
Small win.
297
You said excuse me to someone on the street.
298
Small win.
299
These are very small.
300
Yes.
301
But they are real.
302
And they matter.
303
Many learners only focus on what went wrong.
304
They forget all the things that went right.
305
I do this.
306
I remember the moments I made mistakes.
307
I forget the moments I did well.
308
Exactly.
309
So, the tip is this.
310
At the end of every day,
311
think of one English moment that was good, even tiny.
312
Write it down if you can.
313
Write it down like a wind diary.
314
A wind diary.
315
I love that name.
316
Yes, your English wind diary.
317
Monday.
318
I said, thank you so much at the supermarket.
319
The cashier smiled.
320
Wind.
321
That is a perfect win, Lisa.
322
It is a real win.
323
She understood me.
324
It is absolutely a real win.
325
Every single one counts.
326
When you celebrate small wins, you build something important.
327
What do you build?
328
Courage.
329
Courage means the strength to try,
330
even when you are scared.
331
Courage.
332
So I am not trying to remove the nervous feeling completely.
333
No, you cannot remove it completely.
334
But you build enough courage to speak anyway.
335
Speak anyway.
336
Even with the nervous feeling.
337
Yes, that is the real goal.
338
Tip 5.
339
Celebrate every small win.
340
Build courage.
341
Okay, everyone.
342
Let's practice together.
343
Before we review, I want to teach you some very useful phrases.
344
Phrases for when you feel nervous or confused.
345
Yes, I want to memorize these.
346
First phrase.
347
Sorry, could you say that again?
348
This is for when you don't hear or understand.
349
Sorry, could you say that again?
350
That feels polite.
351
Very polite.
352
Second phrase, I'm sorry my English is not perfect.
353
This is an honest, friendly thing to say.
354
Most people will immediately become more patient.
355
Oh, I can say this,
356
and then I don't have to pretend I understand everything.
357
Exactly.
358
Third phrase.
359
How do you say this in English?
360
When you know what you want to say, but not the word.
361
I need this one every day.
362
How do you say this in English?
363
And the last one.
364
Let me think for a moment.
365
This is for buying time.
366
You are not lost.
367
You just need one second.
368
Let me think for a moment.
369
That sounds so calm, so natural.
370
Practice these four phrases.
371
Say them out loud, everyone, right now.
372
Pause the podcast and say them.
373
Yes, say them now.
374
We will wait.
375
These phrases are your tools.
376
Keep them in your pocket.
377
Use them whenever you need.
378
Okay, let's review what we talked about today.
379
Yes, review time.
380
I love review time.
381
Today we talked about how to feel less nervous when speaking English.
382
Lisa, tip one.
383
Tip one.
384
Mistakes are normal.
385
Mistakes are part of learning.
386
Like a child who falls when learning to walk.
387
Good.
388
Tip two.
389
Tip two.
390
Practice with safe people first.
391
Start in the pool, not the ocean.
392
Excellent.
393
Tip three.
394
Tip three.
395
Focus on the other person, not on yourself.
396
Stop watching yourself speak.
397
Tip four.
398
Tip four.
399
Prepare some phrases, tools in my pocket,
400
like, Sorry, can you repeat that?
401
And let me think for a second.
402
And tip five?
403
Tip five.
404
Celebrate every small win.
405
Write them in your win diary.
406
Build courage.
407
You remembered everything perfectly.
408
These tips feel real.
409
I can actually use them.
410
That is the whole idea.
411
They are simple, but they work.
412
And remember, everyone, the nervous feeling does not mean you are bad at English.
413
It means you care.
414
And caring is the first step to getting better.
415
The nervous feeling means you care.
416
I never thought about it that way.
417
Now you do.
418
Well, that's all the time we have for today.

Bối cảnh & Nền tảng
Trong tập podcast "Slow and Simple English", Alex và Lisa bàn về cảm giác hồi hộp khi nói tiếng Anh. Alex chia sẻ về trải nghiệm của mình với một người hàng xóm mới, người cũng đang học tiếng Anh nhưng gặp khó khăn khi nói chuyện với người khác. Câu chuyện của họ phản ánh một thực tế phổ biến mà nhiều người học tiếng Anh gặp phải: mặc dù biết từ vựng và ngữ pháp, nhưng khi đứng trước người khác, họ cảm thấy lo lắng và không thể diễn đạt ý tưởng. Thảo luận này không chỉ giúp người học nhận ra rằng sự hồi hộp là điều bình thường mà còn gợi ý cách khắc phục tình trạng này.
Top 5 Cụm từ cho Giao tiếp Hằng ngày
- "How are you today?" - Là cách phổ biến để bắt đầu một cuộc trò chuyện và thể hiện sự quan tâm.
- "I had a fun experience this week." - Cụm từ này giúp chia sẻ những điều thú vị trong cuộc sống của bạn.
- "He is also learning English." - Thể hiện sự đồng cảm và kết nối với những người cũng đang học tiếng Anh.
- "I forgot every word." - Một cách thú vị để diễn tả sự hồi hộp khi giao tiếp.
- "Please click the like button." - Cách yêu cầu người khác ủng hộ bạn, rất cần thiết trong giao tiếp trực tuyến.
Hướng dẫn Shadowing Bước từng bước
Để cải thiện kỹ năng nói tiếng Anh của bạn và cảm giác hồi hộp khi giao tiếp, hãy thử áp dụng phương pháp shadowspeak. Dưới đây là hướng dẫn từng bước để bạn bắt đầu luyện nghe nói qua video:
- Chọn Video: Tìm một video phù hợp với trình độ của bạn, như podcast này. Điều này giúp bạn cảm thấy thoải mái hơn và dễ dàng theo dõi.
- Nghe và Lặp lại: Nghe các đoạn hội thoại và lặp lại những gì bạn nghe thấy. Hãy chú ý đến ngữ điệu và cách phát âm.
- Ghi âm: Ghi âm giọng nói của bạn khi lặp lại các cụm từ. So sánh với video để nhận biết điểm mạnh và điểm yếu của mình.
- Bản sao đoạn hội thoại: Hãy thử viết lại một số đoạn hội thoại để nhớ kỹ cách sử dụng từ và cấu trúc câu.
- Thực hành với bạn bè: Tìm một đối tác học để thực hành giao tiếp với nhau. Điều này giúp bạn giảm lo lắng và tự tin hơn khi nói tiếng Anh.
Phần mềm shadowing có thể hỗ trợ bạn trong việc luyện nghe và nói. Bằng cách thực hành đều đặn, bạn sẽ cảm thấy ít hồi hộp hơn qua từng lần giao tiếp. Hãy nhớ rằng sự kiên trì là chìa khóa để thành công trong học tập tiếng Anh.
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.
