Hello everyone and welcome back to the Everyday English podcast, where learning English is easy and fun.
2
I'm Anna.
3
And I'm Mark.
4
We're so happy you're here with us today.
5
This is the place for friendly, easy English conversations.
6
Yes, we want to help you feel confident and comfortable speaking English, even if you are just starting out.
7
So, take a deep breath, relax, and let's learn together.
8
about something i think everyone does sometimes me i do it a lot we're talking about overthinking.
9
Overthinking.
10
It's a very common thing.
11
Our hook for today is, your mind never stops, even when your body is tired.
12
Have you ever felt that, Mark?
13
Oh yes, many, many times.
14
So, what does overthinking mean?
15
It's simple.
16
It means to think too much or to worry too much about something.
17
Exactly.
18
Your thoughts are going and going and going, like a carousel.
19
It's hard to stop.
20
And today, we'll talk about why we do it, some simple English phrases to talk about it, and how we can feel better.
21
It's a very important topic for English learners, too.
22
Sometimes you might overthink before you speak English, right?
23
You worry about making a mistake.
24
Yes.
25
So let's start with some common situations.
26
Mark, can you think of a time you overthought something simple?
27
Hmm, okay.
28
A very common one.
29
Sending a text message.
30
I write a message to a friend.
31
Maybe I write, "Hi, do you want to have coffee tomorrow?" Then I look at it and I think, "Is this okay?
32
Should I say 'hello' instead of 'hi'?
33
Should I add a smiley face?
34
I look at the message for five minutes.
35
I am overthinking.
36
I do that too.
37
It's so true.
38
So, how can we say this in English?
39
What are some phrases?
40
A very easy one is, "I'm thinking about this too much." Yes, let's say that together, everyone, slowly.
41
"I'm thinking about this too much." Good.
42
Another one is, "I can't stop thinking about it." Perfect.
43
And a phrase with the word worry: I'm worrying too much about this.
44
Let's practice that.
45
I'm worrying too much about this.
46
Excellent!
47
So, let's make a little example conversation.
48
Anna, you were my friend.
49
I sent you a text message, and you didn't reply quickly.
50
I start to overthink.
51
Okay, I'll play along.
52
"Hmm.
53
I sent Anna a message two hours ago.
54
She didn't reply.
55
Is she angry with me?
56
Did I say something wrong?" "Mark, don't overthink it.
57
I was just in a meeting.
58
My phone was silent.
59
Everything is fine." Ah, good, you're right.
60
I was thinking too much.
61
Thank you, Anna.
62
See?
63
It's a very normal situation.
64
Let's talk about another one: meeting new people.
65
Oh, this is a big one.
66
You go to a party or you start a new class.
67
You see many new faces.
68
Your mind starts to go very fast.
69
What should I say?
70
Do they like me?
71
Do I look okay?
72
Yes.
73
And for English learners, it can be even bigger.
74
What if I need to speak English?
75
What if I don't understand them?
76
So many thoughts.
77
So, what are some phrases for this situation?
78
You can say to a friend, "I'm nervous about meeting new people." Or you can say about your thoughts,
79
"My mind is too busy." That's a simple and beautiful way to say it.
80
My mind is too busy.
81
I like that.
82
Let's do another short conversation.
83
Imagine we are at a small party, Anna.
84
Okay, I see you, Mark, and you look a little nervous.
85
Hi Anna.
86
There are so many people here.
87
I know.
88
It can feel a little scary, but everyone is friendly.
89
Just be yourself.
90
Thank you.
91
I think my mind is just too busy.
92
I'm nervous about saying the wrong thing.
93
You're doing great.
94
Let's go talk to Tom.
95
He's very nice.
96
Okay.
97
That sounds good.
98
See?
99
A little conversation can help so much.
100
Now let's talk about the most important situation for our listeners.
101
Speaking English?
102
Yes!
103
Many English learners overthink before they even open their mouth.
104
They think, "My grammar is bad.
105
My pronunciation is not perfect.
106
I will make a mistake." But the secret is everyone makes mistakes, even native speakers.
107
The most important thing is to try, Communication is the goal, not perfection.
108
Absolutely.
109
So, what do you think in your head when you have to speak English?
110
Maybe, what if I make a mistake?
111
Or, I don't know the right words.
112
Those are very common thoughts.
113
But here is a new positive phrase to think.
114
Repeat after me.
115
It's okay to make mistakes.
116
Let's say one more.
117
I am learning.
118
It's okay.
119
Beautiful!
120
Let's make a small example.
121
Mark, you are in a coffee shop and you want to order a coffee in English.
122
Okay.
123
I want a coffee with milk.
124
Do I say a coffee with milk or.
125
A white coffee?
126
What is the right word?
127
My heart is beating fast.
128
Hello?
129
What can I get for you today?
130
Hello?
131
One coffee with milk, please. Of course.
132
Anything else?
133
No, thank you.
134
See?
135
It was easy.
136
I overthought for nothing.
137
The phrase "coffee with milk" was perfect.
138
And even if you said "white coffee," the barista would understand you.
139
The goal is to communicate.
140
You did it.
141
situations, sending messages, meeting people, and speaking English.
142
Now what can we do?
143
How can we stop overthinking?
144
It's not easy, but there are some simple tricks.
145
Yes, the first one is very, very simple.
146
Are you ready?
147
I'm ready.
148
Breathe.
149
Just breathe.
150
When you feel your mind is too busy, stop for a moment.
151
Close your eyes if you can, and take one deep, Slow breath.
152
Try it with me everyone.
153
A deep breath in. and slowly out.
154
Wow, I already feel a little better.
155
It's so simple, but it really works.
156
It tells your body to relax.
157
It does.
158
The second tip is to break down a big thing into small things.
159
For example, speaking English for one hour can feel very, very big.
160
It's scary.
161
But saying hello to one person is small.
162
It's easy.
163
So don't think, "I need to speak perfect English for one hour." Just think, "I will say hello and how are you?" to my colleague.
164
One small step.
165
perfect example.
166
A big party is scary, but talking to one person for two minutes is not so scary.
167
Break it down.
168
And our third tip: Talk to someone.
169
Tell a friend, hey, I'm overthinking this.
170
Saying it out loud can make the worry feel smaller.
171
Yes, you can say, "I'm worrying about this.
172
Can I talk to you?" It's a very powerful phrase.
173
Now let's talk about some common mistakes, but not English mistakes.
174
Common mistakes we make when we overthink.
175
The biggest mistake is we think about the worst possible situation.
176
This is called catastrophizing.
177
That's a big word, but the idea is simple.
178
For example, I made a small grammar mistake.
179
Oh no, now this person will think I am not smart, they will not want to be my friend, I will be alone forever.
180
Mark, that is a very big story from one small mistake.
181
The truth is, the other person probably didn't even notice your small mistake, or they forgot about it two seconds later.
182
Exactly.
183
So, when you notice you are imagining a big disaster, stop.
184
Ask yourself, is this probably true or am I overthinking?
185
Another common mistake is waiting for the perfect moment.
186
I will speak English when my grammar is perfect.
187
Or I will send that email when I find the perfect words.
188
Done is better than perfect.
189
I love that.
190
Done is better than perfect.
191
Let's all remember that.
192
Ok everyone, it's practice and recap time.
193
Let's go over the key phrases we learned today for talking about overthinking.
194
We'll say each phrase slowly.
195
Please repeat after us.
196
It's great speaking practice.
197
First phrase: I'm thinking about this too much.

200

201

203

204

205

206
I'm worrying too much about this perfect how about this feeling I'm nervous about meeting new people
207

關於本課
歡迎來到英語學習實踐頁面！在這一課中，我們將討論一個許多人都會面臨的問題——過度思考。我們將學習如何用英語表達過度思考的感覺和想法，並提供一些常用短語，幫助你在與他人交流時更加自信。如果你在說英語時常常擔心出錯，這一課將非常有幫助。我們會一起練習專業英語口語，讓你敢於表達自己。
關鍵詞彙與短語
- 過度思考 (Overthinking)
- 我想得太多了 (I'm thinking about this too much)
- 我無法停止想念 (I can't stop thinking about it)
- 我太擔心這個了 (I'm worrying too much about this)
- 思緒飛揚 (Thoughts are going)
- 心累 (Body is tired)
- 發簡訊 (Sending a text message)
- 微笑臉 (Smiley face)
練習技巧
在練習這些短語時，建議進行英語影子跟讀（shadow speak）練習，尤其是影片中的語速和語調。你可以通過重複影片中的對話，模仿說話者的語音語調，從而達到自然的表達效果。注意說話者如何表達情感，這會使你的英語更具表現力。
在進行雅思口語練習時，記得用這些短語構造自己的句子並在小組討論中使用，讓自己在對話中更具主動性。通過反覆練習，你會逐漸克服過度思考給你帶來的緊張感，在英語交流中變得更加流暢自如。同時，通過shadowspeaks和shadowspeak等技巧，你也可以提高聽力理解能力，加強對話能力。
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 |
|---|---|
| 條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | if you're on YouTube, we would love |
| 動詞 + -ing enjoy、keep、stop… + -ing — 後接 -ing 形式的動詞 | stop thinking · stop overthinking · Keep practicing |
| 用 “should” 提建議 should + 動詞 — 表示應該做的事 | Should I say · Should I add |
| 最高階 the -est / the most … — 一組中最高或最低的 | the most important · The biggest |
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。
