Luyện nói tiếng Anh bằng Shadowing qua video: Learn Java in 14 Minutes (seriously)

If you're struggling in Java, don't worry because I got you.

Just take a nice deep breath, sit back, and I'm going to show you everything you need to know in Java.

This video is made so you can just watch it on your phone or follow along if you want.

I've been programming in Java for over 8 years now.

I graduated with a computer science degree, and maybe like you, I had a lot of problems learning how to program at all.

I had a breakdown in college when I thought I couldn't pass a few of the projects, so it was really hard for me hard for me but I don't want to make it hard for you.

I want to try to help you out wherever you are in your life with programming

and hopefully you find this video helpful.

This is everything you need to know about Java in 13 minutes.

Hey, it's Alex back again helping you learn Java.

On this channel if you're new here I make a Java tutorial just like this one every single week.

So if you're new here then consider subscribing.

Computers only understand zeros and ones which makes it kind of difficult for a human.

So to solve this what we did is we made programming languages

which are just a bunch of keywords and symbols that help us program a computer.

The one we're learning today is obviously Java and here's everything you need to know about Java to start getting started.

What you see on the screen now is a programming environment.

This is where you write code.

You can write code in notepad or on a piece of paper, but none of those ways has a way to compile your code which means turn it into zeros and ones.

There are a bunch of tutorials on how to install Eclipse.

This is the program Eclipse or IntelliJ is a good one.

I made a video of installing Eclipse on Mac and Windows.

It's on the screen now if you want to check that out.

We'll just set up a file to start learning Java.

So I'm just going to go to File, New Java Project.

Type in the project name like Java Tutorial Epicness.

Hit Finish.

Next expand that up.

Right click on the source folder and go to New Class.

And this is just our Java file name our Java file like learn Java.

Hit this first check mark, public static void main, and then hit finish.

And we get some code looking stuff pop up on the screen.

So like I said, a programming language is just a bunch of keywords and symbols, and it looks like this Java file already has some keywords and symbols in here for us.

A super useful thing we can do in Java is store data.

So you can store, say, a number variable in Java by doing this int a equals say 5.

This takes the value of 5 and stores it into a.

You'll notice this keyword int that stands for integer

and there are a bunch of other ones like I'm just going to list a few.

So here's a few more.

There's one called char, long, and double.

Char stands for character so this is how you would store a character variable.

You would just put your character inside of single quotes and that would be stored into b.

You get a few others like long, double, and there are a bunch more.

These are called primitive types since they turn purple.

Like how primates are before humans, the word primary means number one.

Primitive just means it was here before.

It's built into Java, which is pretty sweet.

Let's go on to non-primitive types of storing data because storing data is super cool.

If we wanted to change our username, say on Instagram, it's got to store it somehow, right?

So to store like a name, like a bunch of character variables, that would be called string with a capital S there.

I'll name it like string name and set that equal to Susan and then put a semicolon at the end.

Most statements will end in a semicolon, by the way.

These don't for their own reasons, but if it doesn't have some sort of parenthesis at the end, put a semicolon there.

All these symbols help Java parse it, which just means go through and make sense of it all.

So that's why these weird little semicolons exist.

So now the name Susan is stored into name, but notice how this isn't turning purple.

It's not a primitive type.

If it's not turning purple, That probably means it's an object.

And you can do so many things with objects, it's crazy.

To do crazy things with your object, we can just type the name of the string.

And in this case, it's name.

So we'll just type name.

You'll see red underlines pop up, don't worry about it, it's just trying to correct you before you make a mistake.

I think it's really stupid, because we're not done yet.

But after you have the name of your variable, hit a period.

And this period is maybe one of the most important symbols in Java, because it tells you everything that that variable can do for you.

All that wonderful code built into Java, you have it accessed through this period.

The programmer you're writing Java in will most likely have like a little box here

and you can scroll through it and this is everything you can do to that variable.

So one I like to pick right now would be like to uppercase.

So I can just double click on it

or you could type it out and then semi-colon since it's not opening a bracket.

Well, how do we see this working?

There's this great piece of code to print out So you can see things.

It's called system.op.println and then some parentheses.

We're pretty much just taking this and sticking it inside of the parentheses of this code.

This just puts it on the screen for us.

So I'm just going to control S or command S to save it.

And I'm going to run it.

And then in your console window, it might be called console, it might be called something else, but in a window, you should see your name to uppercase.

If you want to see something else, so we can just delete this, do the dot again to bring up what it can do, and there's one called to lowercase, save it again, run it again,

and now it's all to lowercase.

This to lowercase has some parentheses here, and this putting text to the console window code has some parentheses here too,

and anything that has parentheses like this is 99% of the time gonna be a method, and methods are amazing.

They're the bomb, because they just do things for you, like what we did now.

So let's make a method that puts an exclamation mark, say, at the end of whatever string you want.

To start a method, just write some keywords.

We're gonna write the keywords public static void.

Don't worry too much about this right now.

They're just keywords, and every keyword has its own purpose.

We'll name it like add exclamation point parentheses, say string s in here,

and then some curly braces to finish it off.

I'm just gonna delete these right now because it might look a little confusing.

All this method's gonna do is add an exclamation point to the end.

So we can just print out to the screen out like we did before, that's super useful.

To put two strings together, use a plus sign.

So in the parentheses, we'll just type S, which is the name of the string, plus an exclamation mark inside of double quotes.

Since characters and strings, Anything that's not a number or a variable name has to be in quotation marks.

Statements end in a semicolon.

100

We'll save it and run it, and nothing happens because we're not calling the method.

101

So we'll just type the name of the method and then something like hotdogs.

102

Now we can save it and run it, and we see hotdogs with an exclamation mark.

103

This right here goes here, and whatever's inside of these curly braces gets run.

104

You can also return the results as a variable.

105

So we can say return, which is another keyword, s plus the exclamation mark.

106

You get a red underline because this keyword, void, is actually the type of what you want to bring back.

107

So we just want to do a string,

108

and now we can say a string exclaim is equal to what's returned from add exclamation point.

109

It's stored in here, but let's print it out, and it does the same thing.

110

I said the dot could bring up a bunch of methods that you could use?

111

Well you can also call them without a dot if it's in the same Java file.

112

But now I'm going to show you how to use code from another Java file into your Java file.

113

So I'll just right click source again, make a new class, we'll call it like animal and hit finish.

114

I'll make a method just like we did before, say like I am dog, and all it does is return I am a dog.

115

If we want to use the I am dog method, we can just, I'm just going to save it, go in here, delete this code for now.

116

To call I am dog, we can just make an animal object like this, animal a equals new animal.

117

Anytime you're making an object, it's going to have this format.

118

And there are a million types of objects out there you can use.

119

But now we can just say a dot and it brings up what that object can do and look, im dog is here.

120

You can just click it and then store that into a string dog and then print out dog.

121

Save it and run it and now you see that im dog message being returned to the variable dog.

122

So a class is just a Java file that helps us make objects.

123

Examples of commonly used objects are ArrayList.

124

It has the same format as before, but you've got to put these little angle brackets.

125

But a lot of objects will not come in your code.

126

You have to bring them in.

127

So usually what you'll do is hover over it, and you'll see an import.

128

Click the import suggestion, and that'll generate this import keyword, followed by like a path to the ArrayList code.

129

This just means bring the ArrayList into our program so we can use it.

130

In ArrayList, you can do things like add, you can add a bunch of items, like this is how they store movies, or store a list of users.

131

You can replace set and all sorts of things.

132

So objects and methods are super powerful.

133

Each object has its own methods, and that's why Java is referred to as OOP, which is Object-Oriented Programming programming.

134

Each class represents an object which has its own methods, like this one says I am dog, and you can add as many as you want.

135

Now you might be asking, how do I make a method that does something actually cool?

136

Well, we can start another one.

137

We'll say void since we don't want to return anything.

138

You can do logic in Java.

139

One keyword is if.

140

This is called an if statement.

141

You would have a condition in here, say like true, and then it would run the code inside of here.

142

This is useful if you have something like a is equal to a 5.

143

If a, two equal signs.

144

If a is equal to zero, then run this code.

145

You can tack on another one.

146

Otherwise, if a is equal to one, then we want to run this code.

147

Otherwise, if it's something else completely, then run this code.

148

If else statements are super useful.

149

You can repeat code by doing a for loop, and a for loop format has the keyword for, some parentheses, and then a format that kind of looks like this.

150

In simple terms, this will repeat the code inside of here five times.

151

You can change it, changing this number, eight, it'll run this code eight times.

152

You can put a for loop inside of a for loop, which makes it really interesting, just gotta change this variable.

153

Now whatever's in here will be run 64 times, because it loops eight times and then another eight times inside.

154

You can repeat code until a certain condition is met by typing the keyword

155

while parentheses curly braces and say like while a is equal to five,

156

again print out high, it's actually say while a is less than 50, print high and then increment a by one each time.

157

That's what plus plus means.

158

Now let's just call doStuff so we can see what's going on.

159

Go into the main method, whatever's in the main method will get run when you click run.

160

So we'll just make our animal again, say a and then a period to bring out what we can do.

161

And now we can see our doStuff method.

162

If we run it, we'll see high print out a lot, and then it'll stop until it gets to 49.

163

Because it start at five, go up six, seven, eight, nine, all the way up until 50, and it'll stop.

164

Some other good logic ones are try catch.

165

So the keyword try, and then catch.

166

It'll try to run the code inside of here.

167

If something goes wrong, an exception is thrown.

168

An exception means just something went wrong with your program.

169

And if something went wrong with your program, then the code inside of here will get run.

170

Let's use other people's code and methods inside of ours.

171

We can do that through an API.

172

An API is pretty much just a long list of methods that you can use that were made from someone else.

173

Like Google, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter.

174

Most software companies have APIs that you can use and bring inside your program and do cool stuff.

175

And to use someone else's API, you pretty much go to their website, download this jar file.

176

You would right click on your project, go to properties, go to java build path,

177

add external jars, pop in the jar that you just downloaded, say like twitter api jar, hit apply, do an import statement just like this,

178

but for the name of that jar, and then you could use the code that they wrote in your program.

179

That's pretty much everything you need to know about java.

180

We went over primitive types, variables, storing data, objects, classes, methods, logic, like if-else statements, and also what a lot of the symbols meant.

181

So I really hope this helped you get started.

182

I'm very new at this.

183

I've been doing Java tutorials for a while, but like trying to do it all at once was a bit of a challenge for me, so I tried my best.

184

And of course, if you want more, I make a Java tutorial every week, and you can subscribe down below if you don't want to miss any.

185

So as always, you could be anywhere in the world, but you're here with me, and I really appreciate that so much.

186

I'll catch you in the next video.

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.
