Hello my friends and welcome back to English Unleashed.
2
I'm Tom.
3
Today we are going to talk about confidence, but I do not want to give you the usual advice.
4
I'm not going to say Believe in yourself.
5
I'm not going to say, "Do not be afraid." Thank you.
6
I'm not going to tell you to stand in front of a mirror and say, "My English is amazing." No,
7
maybe those things help some people, but confidence is more practical than that.
8
English confidence is not magic.
9
It is not a special feeling that suddenly arrives one morning.
10
It is not something that confident people are born with.
11
Confidence is prediction.
12
Your brain looks at your past experience and asks one question.
13
What will probably happen? if I speak English now.
14
If your brain remembers confusion, Silence embarrassment,
15
or difficult conversations, it may predict danger.
16
It says, "Do not speak." You may make a mistake.
17
You may not understand the answer.
18
You may forget a word.
19
But if your brain remembers small, successful moments, it makes a different prediction.
20
It says, You have done this before.
21
You can manage this again.
22
You may make a mistake, but you can continue.
23
This means confidence does not come first.
24
Evidence comes first.
25
Experience comes first.
26
Confidence comes after evidence, after experience.
27
This is the main idea of this episode.
28
You do not need to feel confident before you speak.
29
You need to give your brain small pieces of proof that you can speak.
30
Okay, let's imagine two learners.
31
The first learner is called Sarah.
32
Sarah studies English for one hour every day.
33
She reads grammar books, She watches lessons.
34
She learns many new words.
35
but she almost never speaks.
36
Before every conversation, She thinks, "I need to feel ready." She waits for confidence.
37
The second learner is called David.
38
David studies less grammar than seraph.
39
His vocabulary is small.
40
But every day, he does one small speaking action.
41
He asks for coffee in English.
42
He sends a short voice message.
43
He answers one question in class.
44
He speaks to himself for one minute while making dinner.
45
David does not always feel confident.
46
Sometimes he feels nervous.
47
Sometimes he makes mistakes.
48
But his brain is collecting evidence.
49
After one month, David's brain has 30 small memories of speaking.
50
Sarah's brain has a lot of knowledge, but very little speaking experience.
51
So, who will probably feel more confident?
52
Of course, David.
53
not because he is braver, not because he has a special personality.
54
He simply has more proof.
55
He has more evidence.
56
He has more experience of speaking.
57
So this is the first important idea.
58
Confidence grows from remembered action.
59
Your brain needs memories of you using English.
60
Thinking about speaking is not the same as speaking.
61
Preparing to speak is not the same as speaking.
62
Watching other people speak is not the same as speaking.
63
Your brain needs to see you do it.
64
Now, many learners make a serious mistake here.
65
They think the speaking experience must be perfect.
66
They think a successful conversation means no mistakes,
67
no pauses, and complete understanding. That is not true.
68
A successful conversation can include many problems.
69
Maybe you forgot a word.
70
Maybe you forget a word.
71
Maybe you ask someone to repeat.
72
Maybe your grammar is not perfect.
73
Maybe you understand only 80%.
74
The real question is not, was my English perfect?
75
The real question is, did communication continue?
76
If communication continued, you succeeded.
77
Imagine you are in a shop.
78
You want to ask where the changing rooms are.
79
You begin, "Excuse me, where is the room for trying clothes?" The sentence is correct,
80
but it is not natural.
81
The shop assistant understands and says, "The changing rooms are over there." Did you fail?
82
No!
83
You had a goal.
84
You communicated the goal.
85
the other person understood, and you received the information.
86
That is a successful speaking event.
87
But many learners leave a conversation like this and only remember the mistake.
88
They think I said room for trying clothes.
89
That was terrible.
90
They ignore the fact that the conversation actually worked.
91
Thank you.
92
This teaches the brain the wrong lesson.
93
The brain hears the Mistake.
94
equals failure.
95
A better lesson is The sentence was not perfect,
96
but I solved the problem. That lesson creates confidence.
97
After a conversation, do not ask only, "What did I say wrong?" Ask,
98
what did I manage to do?
99
Maybe you managed to start the conversation.
100
Maybe you explained your idea.
101
Maybe you asked for repetition.
102
Maybe you found another word.
103
Maybe you stayed in the conversation when you wanted to escape.
104
These are real speaking skills.
105
Confidence grows when you notice them.
106
I call this keeping a proof file.
107
A proof file is a small record of things you have already done in English.
108
It's like a diary.
109
You do not need a special notebook.
110
You can keep it on your phone.
111
Write short notes such as...
112
I asked a question in English today.
113
I explained a problem to a colleague.
114
I spoke for two minutes without preparing.
115
I did not understand, so I asked the person to repeat.
116
Thank you.
117
I forgot a word.
118
but I explained it in another way.
119
These notes may look small, but they are very important.
120
On a difficult day, your feelings may say, I cannot speak English.
121
Your proof file says: That is not true.
122
You spoke yesterday.
123
Feelings change quickly.
124
Evidence is more reliable.
125
This is why confidence should not depend only on your mood.
126
Some days you feel strong.
127
Some days you feel tired.
128
Some days your English comes easily.
129
On other days, simple words disappear from your mind.
130
This happens to everyone.
131
A tired brain is not a bad brain.
132
One difficult conversation does not mean your English has become worse.
133
It only means that conversation was difficult.
134
Do not turn one moment into a story about your whole ability.
135
Learners often say, "I could not answer that question.
136
My English is bad." That conclusion, my friend, is too large.
137
A more accurate sentence is: I could not answer that question quickly today.
138
This sentence is specific.
139
Specific thinking protects confidence.
140
Now, compare these to ideas.
141
My speaking is terrible.
142
I find phone conversations difficult.
143
Okay, let me say them again.
144
My speaking is terrible.
145
That's the first idea.
146
The second one is: I find phone conversations difficult.
147
The first idea is: attacks your whole English ability.
148
The second idea, identifies only one situation: phone conversations.
149
That is useful because you can practice phone conversations.
150
Here is another example.
151
I have no confidence.
152
That's the first idea.
153
The second idea is, I feel nervous when I speak in meetings.
154
Again, the second sentence is better.
155
Maybe you speak comfortably with friends.
156
Maybe you can order food easily.
157
Maybe you can explain your job to one person.
158
Your confidence is is not one single thing.
159
You may have confidence in one situation and not in another.
160
I call this confidence by situation.
161
You may have a restaurant confidence.
162
You may have classroom confidence.
163
You may have travel confidence.
164
But perhaps you do not yet have interview confidence.
165
This is normal.
166
Do not wait for one large feeling called English confidence.
167
That is too general.
168
Build confidence in small places.
169
Choose One Situation Practice that situation.
170
Collect evidence there.
171
Then move to another one.
172
For example, imagine you want to become more confident in small talk.
173
Do not practice a general topic called "speaking" Practice three common moments.
174
starting a conversation, keeping the conversation going, and ending the conversation politely.
175
For starting, you may practice How has your day been?
176
Have you been busy today?
177
How do you know everyone here?
178
For continuing, you may practice Really?
179
What happened?
180
Thank you.
181
How did you feel about that?
182
What did you do next?
183
For ending, you may practice: It was nice talking to you.
184
I should let you get back to work.
185
I'm going to get another drink, but I will see you later.
186
Now the situation feels more predictable.
187
Predictability helps confidence.
188
The brain feels nervous when it does not know what may happen.
189
A simple plan reduces that uncertainty.
190
But there is another important part of confidence.
191
You need recovery language.
192
What do I mean by that?
193
Recovery language is the English you use when something goes wrong.
194
This is one of the most useful ideas in this episode.
195
Many learners think confidence means never having a conversational problem.
196
Real confidence means knowing what to do when there is a conversational problem.
197
Imagine a good driver.
198
A good driver does not believe the road will always be empty.
199
Thank you.
200
The driver knows how to slow down, how to stop, how to turn, and how to respond to danger.
201
Speaking confidence is similar.
202
You do not need to know every single word.
203
You need ways to recover.
204
For example, if there is a conversational problem,
205
you could say, "Sorry, could you say that again?" Could you speak a little more slowly?
206
I'm not sure I understood the last part.
207
What does that word mean?
208
Let me say that in a different way.
209
i do not know the exact word but it is something you use for Give me a second.
210
I know what I want to say.
211
These sentences are not signs of weak, English.
212
They are tools for keeping communication alive.
213
A learner with limited vocabulary
214
and good recovery language can often communicate better than a learner with more vocabulary who becomes silent after one time.
215
conversation problem.
216
Thank you.
217
Let's imagine a conversation.
218
Someone asks you, What was the most challenging part of your new job?
219
You know the general meaning, but you're not sure about the word "challenging".
220
You could become silent.
221
Or you could say, sorry, What do you mean by challenging?
222
you The person says, "I mean, more difficult." Now you can answer.
223
You did not fail.
224
you controlled the conversation, that experience gives your brain useful evidence.
225
It teaches your brain: "When I do not understand, I have a plan.
226
A plan reduces stress.
227
It reduces fear.
228
This is why recovery language creates confidence faster than memorizing another list of difficult words.
229
Thank you.
230
Now let's talk about preparation.
231
Preparation is useful, but too much preparation can create a problem.
232
Some learners write every sentence before a conversation.
233
They practice it many times.
234
Then the real person asks a different question.
235
The learner becomes lost.
236
This happens because the learner prepared a performance, not a conversation.
237
A conversation is not a speech.
238
You cannot control every sentence.
239
You cannot control every single question.
240
A better method is to prepare small pieces.
241
Prepare one opening.
242
Prepare two questions.
243
and prepare one way to end.
244
Confidence often grows when you know how to begin and how to recover.
245
You do not need to control the middle completely.
246
Now, here is another new idea.
247
Do not always practice at your maximum level.
248
Many learners choose topics that are too difficult because they want to improve quickly.
249
They try to discuss politics, economics, technology, or deep social problems.
250
Then they struggle and feel that their English is not strong.
251
Thank you.
252
But perhaps the topic is difficult even in their first language.
253
To build confidence you need more practice.
254
below your maximum level.
255
Talk about something familiar.
256
Describe your morning.
257
Explain how to make a simple meal.
258
Talk about a film you know well.
259
Describe your neighborhood.
260
Explain how you use your phone.
261
When the topic is familiar, your brain has more space for speaking.
262
Okay, thank you so much for listening to another episode of English Unleashed.
263
Ein komm!
264
And remember, you do not need to feel confident before you speak.
265
Speak in small, manageable moments and let confidence follow.
266
Bye for now.

关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"Learn English with Podcast | Easy Listening for English Speaking Confidence, Fluency and Shadowing"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
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。
