Hey English learners!
2
Welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.
3
I hope you're doing well and that you're ready to practice your listening.
4
Today I want to talk about what makes a good English learner.
5
And of course this is for any language, not just an English learner, but a good French learner, a good Spanish learner.
6
What makes a good language learner?
7
So I want to talk about four things that make a good English learner.
8
There are many more things but I want to highlight four.
9
And before we continue on,
10
if you can understand me in this video and it's pretty easy for you to understand what I'm saying but you can't understand native speakers when they speak fast,
11
then my listening training is for you.
12
So make sure you sign up for my membership and you'll get access to my listening practice seminars in which I help you understand native speakers when they speak fast.
13
So at the time of recording this it's only two dollars a month to sign up.
14
It's cheap, affordable, you should do that.
15
The link is down below.
16
Do that so you can improve your listening.
17
So let's talk about some different things that make a good English learner or language learner in general.
18
So number one, an interest in other cultures.
19
When you're interested in other cultures, this gives you a reason.
20
This gives you motivation to learn the language that you're learning even if it's challenging.
21
Even if you're having trouble, it's difficult for you,
22
you hit a a plateau perhaps regardless of these things if you
23
have a real interest a genuine interest in other cultures and specifically
24
the culture that speaks the language that you're learning in your case english so perhaps it's american culture canadian culture australian culture
25
British culture, whatever, if you have that intense interest in that culture, it gives you a reason.
26
And having a reason to learn a language is super powerful.
27
This makes all the difference, okay?
28
When you have a reason, you actually want to do it.
29
You don't just have to learn the language but you want to.
30
That's super helpful and motivating and it makes it easier, I think.
31
It makes you have less resistance when you encounter differences,
32
when you see that the language that you're learning, English for example, has these linguistic differences that you don't quite understand.
33
For a lot of people, that can make it hard for them to continue on with their language learning,
34
but if you're interested in other cultures, the culture that speaks the language that you're learning, you are more likely to accept these differences.
35
These differences aren't necessarily a problem.
36
You're actually kind of interested in the differences, just like you're interested in the different culture.
37
So that helps a lot.
38
It helped me a lot when I was learning Spanish.
39
At that time, I was super interested in Latin America, in Mexico in particular.
40
I was super excited about discovering that culture, getting to know the different aspects of life and culture,
41
and it helped me accept the differences that I was encountering with the Spanish language.
42
So that was something that really helped me.
43
It really aided me in my language learning.
44
And for example, if you're looking to become more interested in US culture,
45
if you want to learn more and get excited about learning about the different states and cities in the US,
46
I encourage you to check out my US Conversations podcast in which I talk to different English teachers from around the country about their state, their city.
47
It's a lot of fun, so that link is down below.
48
Next, the thing I also, the next thing I wanted to mention was that patience really helps someone be a better language learner.
49
You shouldn't be discouraged about how long it takes.
50
Learning a language takes a long time, let's be honest.
51
We should be realistic about our expectations.
52
We shouldn't expect to become fluent quickly because that's just simply not the case.
53
It's important to understand this and to be patient with yourself and to be patient during this process.
54
Don't force things.
55
Don't try to force it to go super super fast.
56
Of course, try to do as much as you can so that you can learn more quickly.
57
In general, obviously, you can do that, but But don't force it.
58
Don't get too anxious about needing to speak really quickly, or needing to understand everything really quickly.
59
Be patient, right?
60
If you put in the work and you're regular with it, it will come, okay?
61
So don't force it.
62
Be patient with yourself.
63
You're gonna make the same mistakes again and again again hundreds of times in some cases.
64
That actually happens.
65
Sometimes it literally takes like 200 times before you finally say it right.
66
Most of the time you can probably learn things more quickly than that, but sometimes you make the same mistake many times, dozens of times, okay?
67
And you forget things, alright?
68
We forget things that we learned in the past, and so you're gonna make the same mistakes again and again.
69
You're gonna forget things that you learned, so you need to be patient with yourself.
70
Be patient during this process.
71
People often give up too soon because they're not patient.
72
They just assume that because it's not easy for them, because it's taking a while, this means that they are not talented at language learning, it's just not for them.
73
They come to this conclusion, but in reality, they're just not patient, right?
74
I've been learning languages for years.
75
It's a slow process in most cases, unless you are just forced to learn really quickly for some reason.
76
Sometimes that happens, but most of the time that doesn't.
77
You have time.
78
You don't need to learn in two months or else your life is over.
79
That's usually not the case.
80
And because of that, it takes a while.
81
So a good language learner is patient during the language learning process, and they're patient with themselves.
82
Okay?
83
Next, a good language learner has humility.
84
They are humble.
85
So what does this mean?
86
They're willing to be like a small child.
87
Okay?
88
They're willing to be like a little kid who's just learning something for the first time because you're going to get corrected.
89
You're going to say things that, quite honestly, sound funny or sometimes even ridiculous.
90
I don't mean that in a bad way.
91
We all go through that as language learners.
92
We say ridiculous things and it's funny.
93
There's nothing wrong with that.
94
I have young children.
95
My son says some pretty funny, sometimes ridiculous things and it's funny and we laugh at it and he laughs at it.
96
He doesn't get all offended that we're laughing at something silly that he said wrong or whatever.
97
We laugh at it and we make it a positive experience.
98
My son thinks it's hilarious when he accidentally says the wrong word, for example.
99
And that's how we need to be as language learners, okay?
100
We need to laugh at ourselves, be humble,
101
not expect to be really good and expect to be able to say everything we want to say naturally from the beginning.
102
It doesn't work like that.
103
We need to humble ourselves and understand that we need help.
104
We need to get corrected.
105
We need to ask other people for help, perhaps, when we're learning a language.
106
We need to not take ourselves too seriously and like I said, we need to laugh at our mistakes.
107
If you can't laugh at your mistakes, language learning is not going to be fun.
108
It's going to be pretty stressful and when language learning is stressful, it's often not effective.
109
You often don't progress the way you would like to progress.
110
So laugh at yourself, be like a small child, accept that you are not at the level as other people or as native speakers.
111
Okay, all of that is important.
112
All right, humility.
113
Lastly, a A good language learner is willing to challenge themselves.
114
They need to be able to use content that is actually challenging for them.
115
Content that's a little above your level, that contains things that are hard to understand, perhaps.
116
And you do this so that you can reach that level.
117
It's like going to the gym.
118
If you always lift the same amount of weight because it's comfortable for you Then you're not gonna get stronger and lift heavier weight.
119
You have to put more weight on the bar or whatever and try that even though it's challenging in order to become accustomed to that new weight.
120
The same thing goes for language learning.
121
You need to challenge yourself and use content that's a little bit harder
122
than what you're comfortable with and that will get you accustomed to content at that level.
123
A really practical example of this is that many people just use my normal
124
podcast episodes or perhaps they use my YouTube videos in which I speak slowly and they refuse to start listening to more advanced content.
125
They refuse to listen to my advanced episodes, for example, or they just put that off and say, I'll do that later, I'll do that next year, right?
126
And they don't do what they should be doing, which is challenging themselves to actually get accustomed to what fast English sounds like.
127
Okay, if that's your case, if you're comfortable with the way I'm talking now, if you're comfortable with my podcast episodes and you just want to stay here, that's gonna
128
cause your improvement to go slowly.
129
It's gonna cause you to not progress as quickly as you would like to.
130
You have to challenge yourself.
131
For example, if this content is easy for you, start using more advanced content.
132
Use my advanced episodes or use other content that is more challenging, right?
133
And then, of course, you need to eventually start to listen to more than one person talking, right?
134
That's what I always talk about when I talk about my US Conversations podcast.
135
That gives you the opportunity to listen to two people talking and not just one.
136
It helps you become accustomed to that type of situation where there's more than one person talking.
137
And even just these videos, I titled them A1 or A2.
138
Of course, I say things and I use language in these videos that is a little bit more challenging than A1 or A2, but that's the point.
139
The point of an A2 video, an A2 listening practice video, is to help you reach a higher level, right?
140
If you're at an A2 level, you should be listening to content that's higher than that level, a little bit higher,
141
so that you can become accustomed to that higher level content and reach that level.
142
So we're at the end of the video.
143
You know what you need to do, right?
144
You either need to develop more of an interest in the culture of whatever language you're learning, in your case English.
145
You need to be patient, okay?
146
Be humble and challenge yourself, okay?
147
Use content that's a little challenging for you so you can reach that next level.
148
Okay?
149
So if you want that challenging content, check out the links down below for my advanced episodes in my US Conversations podcast.
150
Check those out.
151
Those will be helpful for you.
152
Alright, thank you all for watching this video, and I'll talk to you in the next one.

为什么要用这个视频练习口语？
在学习英语过程中，听力和口语的结合是至关重要的。通过观看和倾听这个视频，您不仅可以提高您的听力能力，还能学会自然流畅地表达自己。视频中提到的内容关于良好的英语学习者特质，可以为您提供有效的学习动机和文化背景。了解其他文化的兴趣使学习语言变得更加有意义，从而克服学习过程中遇到的挑战。利用这段视频，您可以通过模仿（shadow speech）说话者的语音和语调，来提升您的口语能力，进而在雅思口语练习中取得更好的成绩。
语法与表达分析
该视频中使用了一些重要的语法结构和表达，帮助您更好地理解和运用英语。以下是三个关键点：
- 动词时态的使用：讲者常用现在时描述自己的经验，比如“我希望你们做得好”，这让学习者在表达未来的期望时掌握行动的即时性。
- 条件句：讲者提到条件句（“如果你有兴趣…”），这是让学习者理解情况发生的潜在条件，增加语言表达的灵活性。
- 强调表达：讲者使用了“超级重要”这样的短语，用于强调观点的必要性，这有助于学习者在交流中增强语气和情感的表达。
常见发音陷阱
在视频中，讲者的口音和某些词汇的发音可能会成为学习者练习的难点。例如，“language”和“culture”这两个词在快速交流中容易被听得不清晰。通过反复聆听和“shadowing”（影子跟读），您可以提高英语发音，使您的口语更加自然流畅。此外，视频中提到的一些地方名，例如“American culture”或“Canadian culture”，也可能包含特定地区的发音特点，了解这些差异将帮助您更好地应对不同的口音和表达方式。通过这些实用的技巧，您可以有效提升英语发音及沟通技巧，并为雅思口语练习做好充分准备。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
