Hello everyone, I'm Alex.
4
How are you today Naseem?
5
I am very happy today.
6
Thank you.
7
Something nice happened to me yesterday.
8
I was at a coffee shop and a woman next to me asked for help.
9
She was a tourist from Brazil. From Brazil?
10
Wow, that is very far away.
11
Yes, very far.
12
She didn't speak our language, but she spoke English, so I helped her.
13
We talked for 10 minutes.
14
She told me about her trip.
15
I told her about nice places to visit.
16
And she said, thank you so much.
17
You are so kind.
18
That is a beautiful story, Nassim.
19
English brought you together.
20
Yes.
21
Two people from different countries, different languages.
22
But we could talk because of English.
23
It was a very special moment.
24
And you, Alex, how are you today?
25
I'm good, thank you.
26
But your story makes me think, Nassim.
27
Think about what?
28
Sometimes I feel tired of learning English.
29
It is hard work.
30
It takes a long time.
31
And I think: Is it worth it?
32
All this time, all this effort?
33
Is it worth it?
34
That is a very, very important question, Alex.
35
Do we have an answer today?
36
Yes, we do.
37
Today we are talking about why learning English is worth it, why every minute you spend is valuable.
38
Because English opens doors, Alex, and today we are going to look behind those doors.
39
I like that picture.
40
Let's look behind those doors.

Okay, now let's start.
48
First, let's understand one very important word.
49
Worth.
50
W -O -R -T -H.
51
Worth.
52
Worth.
53
What does worth mean?
54
Worth means good enough to spend your time on.
55
Valuable.
56
Important.
57
When something is worth it, the results is good.
58
Your effort isn't wasted.
59
So if I study English for one hour and I learn something new, that hour was worth it.
60
Exactly.
61
That hour was worth it.
62
The time you spent gave you something valuable.
63
And today I want to show you why English is worth Travel.
64
I love thinking about travel.
65
Imagine this, Alex.
66
You are at an airport.
67
A big, busy airport in a country you have never visited before.
68
Everything is new.
69
The signs are in a language you don't understand.
70
People are walking very fast all around you, and you need to find your gate.
71
Ah, that sounds scary.
72
Right?
73
Upstairs?
74
I would just stand there like a tree.
75
Like a tree.
76
Not moving, just standing and looking around.
77
And your heart beats fast, and you feel small, very small, in a very big airport.
78
But now, imagine the same airport.
79
Same signs, same busy people.
80
But this time, you speak English.
81
You walk to the information desk.
82
You say, excuse me, can you help me?
83
I'm looking for gate 12.
84
They answer in English.
85
They smile and say, "Of course.
86
Go straight, turn left after the coffee shop.
87
Gate 12 is on the right." And I understand every word.
88
Every word.
89
You smile, you say thank you, you walk with confidence.
90
C -O -N -F -I -D -E -N -C -E.
91
Confidence.
92
What does that mean exactly?
93
Confidence is believing in yourself, feeling strong inside, feeling "I can do this,
94
I'm okay." When you understand English at the airport, you feel confidence.
95
You feel safe.
96
You feel free.
97
Free, I like that word.
98
Not standing like a tree anymore.
99
No more tree, Alex.
100
You are walking, you are talking, you are moving through the world.
101
That is what English gives you.
102
Freedom to travel.
103
Freedom to explore.
104
Freedom to ask for help.
105
And that is worth it.
106
English is worth it because it gives you freedom.
107
English opens doors.
108
Doors to airports, doors to train stations, doors to restaurants in other countries.
109
Doors to the whole world.
110
Story 2.
111
people people.
112
What do you mean?
113
Meeting people, making friends, connection.
114
C -O -N -E -C -T -I -O -N.
115
Connection.
116
What does connection mean?
117
A connection is a link between people, a relationship.
118
When you talk to someone and you understand each other, That is a connection.
119
When you laugh together, share a story, feel close.
120
That is a connection.
121
And English helps you make connections with people from everywhere.
122
Like your story at the coffee shop.
123
You and the woman from Brazil.
124
exactly like that.
125
Let me tell you another story about my friend Lisa.
126
Lisa went to a language exchange.
127
Do you know what that is?
128
Um, a place where people practice languages together.
129
Yes, people meet and practice different languages.
130
They help each other.
131
Lisa was nervous.
132
She went alone.
133
She sat in a corner and a girl from Japan sat next to her.
134
From Japan, yes.
135
The girl said, "Hi, I'm Yuki, what's your name?" in English.
136
Because English was the language they shared.
137
Two people, Japan and here, but they could talk in English.
138
They talked for two hours.
139
Lisa told me, "Nasim, it was amazing.
140
We talked about food, about movies, about our families, and we laughed so much." Two strangers from different countries laughing together.
141
That is beautiful.
142
And do you know what made it possible?
143
English was the bridge.
144
B -R -I -D -G -E, bridge.
145
Bridge, like a bridge over a river.
146
Yes, a bridge connects two places, one side to the other.
147
And English is a bridge between people.
148
It connects you to people from everywhere: Japan, Brazil, Germany, Canada, anywhere.
149
English is a bridge.
150
That is a beautiful picture, Nassim.
151
And Lisa and Yuki, they're still friends five years later.
152
They send messages every week, they visited each other's countries, all because of one conversation.
153
That is the power of connection.
154
English opens doors to people, real people, real friendships, real connections.
155
And that is worth it.
156
That is definitely worth it.
157
Story 3: Your Daily Life.
158
Your daily life.
159
How does English help my daily life?
160
Think about your phone, Alex.
161
What do you do on your phone every day?
162
I watch videos, I listen to music, I read things online, I play games sometimes.
163
and how much of the internet is in English.
164
Um, a lot.
165
Maybe most of it.
166
A lot.
167
Millions of videos, millions of songs, millions of articles and stories, and most of them in English.
168
That is true.
169
When I search for something online, the best information is often in English.
170
Think about music, your favorite song.
171
When you understand the English words, the song becomes different, deeper, more beautiful, because now you know what the singer is saying.
172
You feel the song, not just hear it.
173
Thank you.
174
That wow moment, that feeling, English gives you that.
175
It opens a window to music, to movies, to stories, to ideas from all over the world.
176
A window to the world right from my phone.
177
And think about work, Alex.
178
Many jobs today want English.
179
English isn't just a language, it is a skill, a very important skill.
180
When you put English on your resume, employers notice.
181
Resume.
182
R -E -S -U -M -E.
183
What is that word?
184
A resume is the paper that tells employers about you, your skills, your experience.
185
When English is on your resume, you have more opportunities.
186
OPPORTUNITY.
187
Opportunity.
188
Opportunity.
189
That means a chance.
190
Yes.
191
An opportunity is a chance to do something new, a chance to do something good.
192
A new job is an opportunity.
193
A trip is an opportunity.
194
English gives you more opportunities, more chances, more choices.
195
More choices.
196
I like having choices.
197
My life becomes bigger every single day.
198
Now I have three secrets for you.
199
Three secrets about why English is worth every minute.
200
Secrets?
201
I love secrets.
202
Tell me, Naseem.
203
Secret number one: Look behind you.
204
Behind me?
205
There is just a wall behind me.

208
Look at where you started.
209
Look at how far you have come.
210
Oh, look at my progress.
211
Yes, Alex.
212
Do you remember your first English class?
213
I remember.
214
I knew almost nothing.
215
I could say hello, I could say thank you.
216
That was it.
217
And now look at you now.
218
Now I can have conversations, I can ask questions, I can tell stories, I can understand a podcast in English.
219
See?
220
That is amazing, Naseem.
221
You are here right now listening to English, understanding English, thinking in English.
222
That isn't small.
223
That is huge.
224
I never think about that.
225
I always think about what I can't do yet.
226
I think I still make mistakes.
227
I'm not good enough.
228
Many people think that way.
229
But look behind you, Alex.

Look at the road you already walked.

English is your key.
244
But a key is useless if it stays in your pocket.

A bridge, not a test.

What does that mean?
271
Many people think English is a test.

They think I must be perfect, I can't make mistakes, I need a high score.
273
And that makes them scared.

Scared to speak, I will say something wrong.

But English isn't a test.

影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構,並附上影片中的原話:
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | have never visited · have come |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼,而不是誰做的 | isn't wasted · be understood |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | love thinking · Keep listening · Keep practicing |

什麼是跟讀法?
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
