1
This is a jigsaw piece.
2
These are jigsaw pieces.
3
And I think that learning English is like doing a jigsaw puzzle.
4
In school, we learn to solve lots of English puzzles like vocab, grammar and reading.
5
but somehow, not listening and speaking.
6
In this video, I'm looking for these two secret pieces that will make the complex puzzle of learning English simple.
7
Guys, I have just made this super delicious,
8
highly nutritious, brain -boosting smoothie for my brekkie.
9
And brekkie is a British term for breakfast.
10
There's about a million of my five a day in this bowl.
11
Now before I talk to you about the listening puzzle piece,
12
I want to share a little idea in a book that I've been reading recently which is this book here
13
How to Eat by Thich Nhat Hanh.
14
A grain of rice contains the universe.
15
When we look at a grain of rice one second of mindfulness
16
and concentration allows us to see that this grain contains the whole world.
17
It's a beautiful book by a beautiful man now let's pay attention to the ingredients in this smoothie bowl
18
so we can use it as an opportunity to learn some new english
19
and discover the story behind these ingredients first we have blueberries and spinach
20
they start their humble journey on the farm where the farmer plants them them,
21
waters them, and harvests them.
22
Then they meet with a truck driver who drives them straight to the farmer's market.
23
Blueberries and spinach both made the same trip into this bowl.
24
But what about the yogurt?
25
This yogurt contains sunlight inside it.
26
The sun's energy grows the grass.
27
The grass feeds the cow and the cow creates milk.
28
Someone milked her and they let that milk sit and ferment into yogurt.
29
Ferment means it uses good bacteria to change or preserve the food.
30
People usually ferment things with sugar or salt and they taste really good and apparently they're very good for our guts.
31
Our gut is all the organs inside our tummy.
32
But how about this bowl?
33
This bowl started its journey as clay dug up from the earth.
34
A potter shaped it with their hands.
35
It was fired in a kiln.
36
A kiln is a clay oven.
37
And that kiln was hot enough to turn clay into this ceramic bowl.
38
Apparently the whole universe is in this bowl.
39
The English language is no different.
40
Idioms don't appear from thin air.
41
We humans shape the language through our culture and our habits.
42
So let's look at an idiom to spill the beans.
43
Spill the beans means to reveal a secret or hidden information that you probably shouldn't.
44
And this idiom comes from ancient Greece where when they used to vote with black and white beans in a jar,
45
if somebody knocked that jar over and the beans spilled out, then the secret would be revealed.
46
The voters would know who is getting voted in.
47
Speaking of secrets, now it's time to reveal the first secret puzzle piece which is to listen with attention.
48
Just like eating with attention, you slow down and you focus on only what's in front of you.
49
So instead of watching video after video, you can choose one video that's slightly above your level and then watch it twice.
50
The first time with subtitles.
51
Slow down and try to follow the story, not every word.
52
the second time you'll watch it without the subtitles really try to hear
53
and listen to the rhythm of English the sound of the speakers you're training your ears here
54
when you have a conversation you don't have subtitles we listen to English not like a task or a chore,
55
but we listen to immerse ourselves in the language.
56
Treat it like something that you're curious about and something that you enjoy doing.
57
If you want content that matches your level, you can watch it on sproutlanguage .com.
58
Now, listening with attention is just the first piece of the puzzle, there's a more important piece, one that's harder to fit in.
59
But before I talk about that, I want to go to a new cafe that I've heard about.
60
So, let's go.
61
Don't wanna be a one -man woman Got me stranded like a boat in the sand

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。
