"I understand English but not able to speak fluently." - Reasons and solutions - Day 1

welcome back to the 30 days challenge this is our day one now I am really excited to talk about today's video and I hope you have the same excitement to follow this journey of 30 days in today's pro video we're going to talk about a very specific problem and a lot of our students have come up with it Ash I'm able to understand English but I'm not able to speak in English so I'm going to repeat the problem one more time I'm able to understand English but I'm not able to speak in English believe it

or not this is a problem which is faced by any such person who is trying to learn a new language for example if I try to learn Spanish today I can say that I am able to understand Spanish but I'm not able to speak Spanish fluently and the same logic has to be applied for English you are not able to speak fluent English and you're not able to write effortlessly now before we dive into the video I want to talk about why this problem happens in the first place and towards the end of the video

you will find a solution to solve this problem okay so come back to the Blackboard here now when we talk about learning a language we have to solve the issues with reading listening writing and speaking and the funny part is that reading and listening are your passive skills they require passive skills to understand or comprehend the message but writing and speaking requires active skills I'm gonna talk about what is passive skills and active skills just now so when I'm saying that writing and speaking requires active skills that means something which requires instant Focus you have

to be concentrated on what you are speaking you have to concentrate on grammar range you have to concentrate on your lexical resources or your vocabulary you have to concentrate on your fluency you have to concentrate on your intonation you have to concentrate on the last and the most important thing and that is called as pronunciation you have to concentrate on the pronunciation as well all right now the same is for writing and speaking both of these skills require active skills that's why when you're trying to speak in this language you become little bit slow since

you're required to focus on so many skills at the same time okay now let's take another moment here writing still is comparatively easy than speaking because in writing you get time to process your thoughts but in speaking you don't get that time to process your information and you have to be really quick and fast to convey your idea you have to be faster to convey your idea okay now this is something which we cannot ignore you cannot ignore the fact that my uh you know my speaking is bit slow I'm not able to speak fluently

my writing is not that good because I'm not able to think about right ideas but I'm able to read I'm able to listen and understand people you cannot ignore this fact that two of such things require passive skills you don't have to focus much but two of them requires active skills you have to be attacked attentive okay now the second reason why this problem happens that when we try to learn a language from the age of 2 to 22 let's say you are of 22 right now if I'm talking about your native language Hindi you

have invested almost 80 percent of the time in terms of speaking in that native language and 20 percent of the time in reading and understanding that language especially reading because we don't read much in our native language but we speak a lot in our native language so from the age of 2 to 22 you have invested 20 years in speaking in this language and that's why next time if you have to speak in English you have to speak in your native language you're fast you're quicker because now your mind and your vocal codes are in

sync with each other this is another logic which we have to pay Attention our brain and our vocal codes vocal codes are something with which you are able to speak your brain which helps you to process information and your vocal codes has to be in sync with each other the more you speak in a language the better your brain and vocal codes will be in sync and the more fluent speaker you can call yourself but in your native in your native language the brain and the vocal cords are in sync most of the time it's

just couple of times you're not able to find the right sentence or the right phrase but when we talk about English on the other hand we Face a real challenge because from the age of 2 to 22 you have not invested that much amount of time in speaking you might have invested maybe 10 percent of your energy in speaking and 90 of your energy in listening English and reading English you open your phone you read something you pick your phone you listen to people but how many of the times are you actually speaking so the

problem lies in the process or the journey that you have followed now we are trying to talk about the learning curve we are starting from the middle age and then we are going up till the time we see the final results so from day one day two or you can say from your childhood days till here from till day 15 you will actually feel yourself feeling at multiple points till the time you actually find that level of fluency which you have been searching for okay but this journey is a very slow process and in this

journey the major challenge is taking place in the field of speaking in English language and we are very comfortable in listening reading and little bit comfortable in the writing skills as well that's majorly about the problem why is it so hard for me to speak in English rather than understanding English you know the problem now and in order to talk about the solution it has to be opposite what you were not doing to speak fluent English you have to start doing it right now so I'm gonna give you two possible solutions the first solution is

think in English 24 7. what I mean by that is if you see something you give that object a name if you feel something you give that feeling a name if you see somebody doing certain activity you narrate that particular thing in a single sentence in our day two we have talked about thinking in English in a very elaborated Manner and hence you can check that video right in the description box we have talked about thinking in English in a very extensive manner okay that brings me to the second solution and that is practice practice

any book you pick any lecture you take online everybody tells you the same thing practice in English language what I'm trying to tell you today is that practice in the right direction if you already visited our second video you will understand that there are certain methods which will help you to think in English and practice will actually solve a problem of brain and vocal cord synchronization if you speak more in this language you will be able to be more spontaneous in your thought process and second important thing that you have to take into consideration is

stop translating from your native language because when you translate your process is very slow and you take time to grab the information translate it from native to English and then you create sentences in English and then you speak so the process of gaining the information and taking it out is bit lengthy so you are you have to completely stop translating from your native language but you have to start practicing speech in English even if you are at basic level or intermediate level or advanced level you see something give it a word create sentences create conversations

okay don't worry these discussions has been solved in a very elaborated manner in the future in the future videos I want to give another example here imagine you want to do swimming and in your head you're picturizing yourself swimming in big swimming pools you are able to do that marathon in swimming but in your head but when it comes to reality you are not taking any actions to solve that problem if you go to an actual swimming pool and if you have not practiced enough you jump you will be in the water you will not

be swimming same logic is applied for English until unless you get yourself dirty in the process of learning you will not find that Comfort level in speaking in English it's a slow process you're gonna fail multiple times but when you come out of this 30 days Challenge and when you come out of this process you will actually be more confident and not being scared of making mistakes in English I want to give a final message here that the process of learning something requires you to make lot of mistakes if you are making a mistake you

are in the right direction you will know that I am in the process of learning something and this is my learning curve it's gonna be bumpy I'm gonna make mistakes and that's the part of the process believe it or not after this video you will be learning something really interesting and after these 30 days challenge you will be somebody who will not be scared to go in front of a crowd and give a speech in English you will not be scared to raise your hand and ask a question in a presentation or a classroom you

will not be scared of talking to the crush of your life and you can actually express your feelings with the right amount of happiness and excitement that you have for that particular person okay so this is a process there are problems but there are possible solutions to it give yourself a window of 21 days give yourself a window of 21 days and do something that we tell you every single day you will see the huge changes happening with you all right that's all for today's video we're gonna catch up in the next video and we're
