ready to take that first step towards speaking English with confidence let's get started chapter one why are we afraid to speak English let's start by addressing an important question why do so many of us feel afraid to speak English this fear comes from several common reasons and understanding these reasons is the first step toward over coming them let's break them down one fear of making mistakes one of the biggest reasons we're afraid is the thought of making mistakes you might worry what if I say the wrong word what if my grammar is wrong what if

I pronounce something incorrectly this Fear Can Feel paralyzing and make us hesitant to speak it all but here's an important truth mistakes are a natural part of learning think about a child learning to walk they don't stop trying just because they fall down they get up and try again learning a language is exactly the same mistakes are not failures they are opportunities to grow two fear of being judged another common fear is worrying about what other people will think you might imagine someone laughing at your pronunciation or giving you a strange look this can feel

intimidating especially if you're speaking with fluent or native speakers but let me tell you something most people are not judging you at all in fact many people admire the effort it takes to learn and speak a new language instead of focusing on imaginary criticism remind yourself that you're doing something amazing something many people are too afraid to even try three fear of not knowing what to say have you ever been in a situation where you're asked a question in English and your mind goes blank this happens because we put so much pressure on ourselves to

be perfect we want the perfect sentence the perfect word or the perfect reply and when we can't think of one we feel stuck but guess what even native speakers struggle to find words sometimes they pause they use filler words like uh and um and they take take their time to think it's completely okay to do the same normalizing these feelings the good news is that these feelings are entirely normal almost everyone experiences them whether they're learning English or another skill even fluent English speakers feel nervous in some situations like giving a presentation or speaking to

someone important here's something important to remember fear doesn't mean you're not good at English it just means means you're human every time you face this fear and choose to speak anyway you're making progress over time the fear gets smaller and your confidence gets bigger let me leave you with this thought Perfection is not the goal communication is your English doesn't have to be perfect to be powerful it's okay to make mistakes and it's okay to feel nervous what matters is that you try learn and keep improving moving so are you ready to face your fears

a bike at first you were nervous you probably wobbled and even fell but the more you practiced the steadier you became eventually riding a bike felt natural and you didn't even have to think about it that's exactly how practice works when learning to speak English the key repetition every time you practice you're strengthening your brain's English muscles the more you repeat the easier and more natural it becomes how practice helps overcome Fear One familiarity builds confidence when you practice regularly you become familiar with common phrases and patterns this familiarity helps you feel prepared paed in

up at 700 a.m. and had breakfast practice Small Talk how was your day if you don't have someone to practice with apps like hello talk or tandem connect you with language Learners and friendly native speakers stick to simple sentences there's no need to use long or complicated phrases for instance instead of saying yesterday I wanted to go to the supermarket but it was raining so I decided to stay at home and read a book say yesterday it rained I stayed home and read over time as your confidence grows you can expand your vocabulary in sentences

two use scripts to prepare feeling nervous in certain situations like introducing ing yourself or asking for help prepare and practice scripts for common scenarios for example introducing yourself hi my name is Sarah I'm learning English and love to read books ordering food can I have a cheeseburger please practice these sentences out loud multiple times when the situation arises your words will feel natural and ready three celebrate small wins confidence grows when you acknowledge and celebrate your progress no matter how small for example did you use a new word today awesome did you manage to hold

a short conversation amazing reward yourself for these achievements even if it's just with a kind word I did it or I'm improving four control your inner critic often fear of speaking comes from negative selft talk replace these thoughts with encouragement instead of I'll make mistakes and sound silly think making mistakes is how I learn instead of my English isn't good enough say every day my English gets better five practice positive visualization before speaking close your eyes and imagine yourself confidently talking in English picture the words flowing easily the person smiling and the conversation going well

here's how to find the right partner language Exchange platforms apps like hello talk it talkie or conversation exchange pair Learners with fluent speakers many of these exchanges are free and you can help them with your native language in return choose the right partner look for someone who is encouraging and understands that you're learning a patient partner will correct you gently and cheer for your progress practice in low stake situations some sometimes speaking in high pressure situations like at work or school can feel intimidating start practicing in low pressure settings where it's okay to make mistakes

order at a cafe or restaurant start with simple phrases like can I have a coffee please talk to yourself in front of a mirror practicing solo can help reduce anxiety before speaking with others five use technology to create a safe Zone not comfortable speaking with people yet use apps and tools to simulate conversations or get feedback record yourself use your phone to record yourself speaking then play it back focus on improving pronunciation without being too self-critical speech recognition apps apps like Google translate or Elsa speak can give you feedback on how clear your pronunciation is

let's dive in and learn English like a baby chapter 1 how do babies learn language let's start by understanding how babies learn their native language it's actually a very natural process babies don't take grammar lessons or memorize vocabulary lists instead they do something very simple they listen from the moment they're born babies are surrounded by language they hear their parents and family members talk and their brains absorb all the sounds words and patterns they hear even though they can't speak at first they're already starting to understand it's all about repetition and exposure babies hear the

same words and phrases many times in different contexts for example they might hear someone say here's your bottle every time they're about to drink milk over time they connect the word bottle to the object itself the key here is that babies don't worry about grammar rules or making mistakes they just listen try to imitate and learn from their surroundings think of your brain like a sponge soaking up everything it hears that's exactly how babies learn and it's a strategy you can use too by focusing on listening and exposing yourself to English regularly you can train

your brain to recognize patterns just like a baby does so let's see how you can apply this to your own Learning Journey chapter 2 what is comprehensible input now let's talk about a powerful concept for language learning comprehensible input inut this is the idea of listening to or reading material that is just a little bit above your current level it's not so difficult that it feels impossible but it challenges you to grow and learn imagine this when babies hear the word Apple they're usually looking at an apple or seeing someone hold one this connection between

the word and the object makes it easier for them to understand the context helps everything make sense as a learner you can do the same thing for example watch kids shows or videos with simple vocabulary they're designed to be easy to understand and often use visuals to help you follow along listen to audio while reading subtitles that match what you hear this allows you to connect the sounds to the written words and understand them more easily the magic of comprehensible input is in the context it allows you to absorb language naturally when you see hear

and experience things in English your brain starts to make those connections just like a baby's brain the key is to find material that feels slightly challenging but not frustrating that's where you'll grow the most if you stay consistent and keep exposing yourself to input you can mostly understand you'll see progress over time just as babies do when they hear their first words next let's look at how to apply this idea to your everyday learning chapter 3 replicating baby steps as adults now that we understand how babies learn and the power of comprehensible input let's break

down how you can replicate their learning process step by step as an adult step one listen first babies spend months just listening to the people around them before they even attempt to speak you can do the same by immersing yourself in English every day choose content that feels interesting and not overwhelming podcasts made for beginners or intermediate learning these often use slow and clear speech simple stories like fairy tales or children's books listening while reading along is a great way to enhance comprehension YouTube channels with videos tailored to English Learners find topics you enjoy so

that learning feels fun not like a chore the more you surround yourself with English the more natural it will start to sound sound even if you don't understand every word your brain will start recognizing patterns rhythms and common Expressions step two imitate sounds after months of listening babies don't immediately start forming sentences they Babble they mimic The Sounds they hear without worrying about mistakes as an adult this might feel silly at first but it's incredible L effective try repeating words or phrases you hear in videos or conversations pay attention to pronunciation and tone focus on

copying the Rhythm and flow of sentences even if you don't understand every word use resources like songs or short audio clips pause and imitate the speaker several times until it feels natural this step is about building confidence and training your mouth to produce sounds that might not exist in your native language think of it as language exercise practice strengthens your muscles step three respond without pressure babies don't use perfect grammar when they start speaking they focus on reacting and getting their message across even if it's not perfect adults can do the same when watching videos

or listening to audio try answering simple questions or predicting what comes next during casual conversations don't overthink react naturally even if your sentences are short or grammatically imperfect use filler phrases like I'm not sure or can you repeat that to buy time and stay engaged in a conversation remember the goal is communication not Perfection every small response builds confidence and fluency over time practice tips start small perhaps 10 minutes of listening and 5 minutes of imitation each day gradually increase your time as you feel more comfortable learning English like a baby doesn't mean rushing it

means building skills slowly and steadily one small habit at a time now that we've explored these steps we'll dive deeper into creating a routine that makes these habits easy to follow let's move on chapter 4 overcoming challenges learning English as an adult might not feel as effortless as it does for babies unlike them we tend to overthink compare ourselves to others and feel embarrassed about making mistakes let's address those challenges and how you can overcome them acknowledging the frustration it's normal to feel frustrated at times you might listen to something and think why can't I

understand this speaking might feel intimidating especially in front of others remember babies don't feel self-conscious they try fail and try again all without worrying about how they sound we can learn from this mindset by being kinder to ourselves encouragement mistakes are not failures they're Stepping Stones think of mistakes as feedback showing you what to improve if you said something wrong now you know how to say it right next time nobody expects Perfection especially when you're learning native speakers admire the effort and courage it takes to learn a new language start small and be patient you

don't need to become fluent overnight start with small steps just like babies do practice listening to One short video or audio clip a day try saying one or two sentences in English when talking to yourself or others celebrate every little win like understanding a new word or saying a complete sentence without hesitation patience is key babies take years to become fluent in their native language so allow yourself time to grow grow and improve every bit of effort adds up over weeks and months you're not just learning a language you're building a bridge to New Opportunities

like a chore that's the magic of combining fun with education you'll feel motivated to keep learning movies also bring a sense of accomplishment imagine watching a film in English today and recognizing a new word or phrase you just learned it's such a rewarding feeling and reminds you that you're making progress so as you can see movies are not only fun but also a treasure Trove of learning opportunities now the next step is figuring out which movies are best for learning English let's dive into that choosing the right movie not all movies are created equal when

it comes to learning English the movie you choose can make or break your learning experience so let's talk about how to pick the perfect one for your English practice step one choose a genre you enjoy first ask yourself what do you like to watch action comedy drama pick a genre that excites you because if you're interested in the story you're more likely to stay engaged and motivated learning feels much easier when you're enjoying the content for example if you love romantic comedies try a classic like nodding Hill if you're into adventure maybe start with jamanji

enjoy what you watch step two start simple if you're just starting avoid movies with heavy SL playing fast-paced dialogue or complicated plots animated movies or family-friendly films often use clear and simple English making them perfect for Learners try Classics like Finding Nemo or The Lion King also avoid movies with too many accents or Regional dialects at first stick to something with a more neutral standard accent to ease into English listening step three use subtitles wisely start with subtitles in your native language if you're a beginner as you improve switch to English subtitles to challenge yourself

further this helps you connect spoken words to their written form which can be a powerful learning tool pro tip don't be afraid to pause and Rewind if something is unclear take your time it's about learning not rushing step for research before you watch if you're unsure about a movie watch the trailer or read a brief summary websites like IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes can help you see if the movie's language is appropriate for your level some streaming services even have sections specifically for family movies which are often beginner friendly step five gradual progression as you get

more comfortable challenge yourself with movies that have more complex dialogue or themes but remember you don't have to understand everything on the first try even catching small parts of the conversation means you're learning and improving the right movie isn't just entertaining it becomes your classroom once you've chosen the movie it's time to focus on how to watch it in a way that maximizes your learning in the next section we'll explore active watching techniques active watching techniques watching a movie is fun but watching actively is where the real magic happens let's dive into some techniques that

turn a simple movie night into a powerful English lesson step one pause and replay sections imagine you hear a line but it's too fast where the accent throws you off what do you do pause rewind replay don't rush through the movie take your time to focus on sections you find challenging for example if a character says you've got to be kidding me and you're unsure what it means pause listen again and try to mimic their pronunciation understanding just one phrase like this can build your confidence and vocabulary step two use subtitles strategically subtitles are like

a safety net at first you can use subtitles in your native language to understand the context but as you grow switch to English subtitles this helps you connect spoken and written English here's a challenge for intermediate Learners watch a scene without subtitles first then replay it with subtitles to check how much you understood repeat this process until you can follow without help step three note down new words and phrases keep a notebook or a digital tool nearby whenever you hear a new word or phrase write it down for example if you watch Finding Nemo you

might hear current meaning the flow of water anemone Nemo's home next to the word jot down its meaning and how it's used in the sentence then practice saying it aloud to solidify your understanding step four focus on pronunciation and intonation listen carefully to how the character speak notice the Rhythm the stress on certain words and the natural flow of the conversation then repeat their lines aloud imitating their tone and pronunciation this practice will make your spoken English sound more natural for example listen to how characters greet each other in casual conversations hey what's up how's

it going try saying these yourself and use them in real life situations step five practice shadowing shadowing is when you listen to a character's line and immediately repeat it trying trying to match their tone and speed it's like karaoke but with English dialogue Too Short manageable lines at first let's say a character says I'll meet you at the coffee shop at 3 pause repeat after them and mimic their pace and intonation do this a few times and you'll notice Improvement in both speaking and listening step six reflect on each scene after watching a scene pause

and think what happened what new words did I learn can I summarize it in one or two sentences this practice reinforces comprehension and helps you actively engage with the content step seven take breaks when needed learning through movies should be enjoyable not stressful if you feel overwhelmed by a long movie or fast dialogue take a break watching shorter segments in 10 to 15minute intervals can help you absorb information better what's next by actively watching you're not just a passive viewer you're a language learner taking charge of your growth once you've mastered these techniques it's time

to take what you've learned and put it into practice in your daily life from movie to Mastery putting knowledge into practice now that you've learned how to watch movies actively it's time to use that knowledge watching a movie is just the first step the rayall learning begins when you practice what you've observed and heard let's explore how to turn your movie experience into Mastery practice speaking the lines you hear movies are full of natural conversations use these dialogues to practice speaking start by choosing short and simple lines that match everyday situations for example can you

pass me the salt I'm running late see you soon say these lines out loud focus on pronunciation speed and intonation if a character says I don't know what to do practice mimicking not just the words but also the feeling behind the line once you feel comfortable try these phrases in real conversations summarize the plot after watching the movie or even just a scene practice summarizing the events in English ask yourself what happened who are the main characters why did they do what they did for example if you watch The Lion King your summary could be

Simba a young lion grows up to take back his kingdom from scar his uncle practice explaining the plot to a friend or writing it in a notebook this boosts your ability to describe events and enhances your vocabulary discuss the character's motivations movies are not just about actions they're about reasons ask yourself what did the character say or do something what do they feel this encourages deeper thinking in English for example if a character says I just want to be understood think about what might make them feel that way then discuss or write about it in

your own words write down your favorite quotes movies are full of memorable lines keep a collection of quotes you find interesting or meaningful write them down and then think about how you can use them in real life conversations for for instance a line like every great dream begins with a dreamer could inspire you and teach you about Sin inst structure at the same time engage in discussions talk to friends classmates or even online communities about the movie share your thoughts about the story characters and what you learned ask questions like what did you think of

the main character's decisions what part of the movie did you find most most exciting these discussions build your confidence in speaking English and expose you to different perspectives write your own review once you've watched and analyzed a movie challenge yourself to write a review include the movie's title and genre a brief summary of the story what you liked or didn't like for example I watch Finding Nemo an animated movie it's got a clown fish named Marlin searching for his son I like the adventure and the humor it was easy to understand and perfect for learning

English repeat and build on what you've learned rewatch the same movie or scenes after a few weeks to see how much you've improved you'll notice you understand more and speak with greater confidence beyond the screen sustaining your Learning Journey movies are an excellent tool but learning English is a continuous process to keep improving you need to go beyond the screen let's discuss how to sustain your Learning Journey while having fun and exploring more of the English speaking World gradually increase the difficulty of movies you watch start with movies that have simple clear dialogue but don't

stay there forever as you improve challenge yourself with movies that use complex language or have fast-paced conversations for example begin with animated movies or family comedies example Toy Story or Shrek move to drama or Adventure films with deeper dialogue example the pursuit of happiness or Jurassic Park eventually try Classics or movies with Rich vocabulary example Pride and Prejudice or Forest Gump pushing your limits helps you grow your listening and comprehension skills explore English-speaking cultures through movies movies are a window into different cultures by watching films from various English-speaking countries you can understand accents traditions and

phrases unique to each region turn watching into a habit make watching movies part of your routine it could be one movie every weekend watching one scene daily and analyzing it taking 30 minutes to practice lines from a movie you've seen consistency matters the more you engage with English the more natural it becomes continue expanding your vocabulary while watching movies you'll encounter many new words keep a note notbook or use a digital app to record these words every week review them and try to use them in sentences for example if you learn the word resilient from

a movie write sentences like she is resilient because she never gives up practice these words regularly to make them a permanent part of your vocabulary incorporate other media movies are great but don't stop there combine your movie learning with other media such as TV shows for consistent exposure to English over a series of episodes podcast for listening to English on the Go YouTube videos or tutorials for short and focused lessons by diversifying your input you'll learn faster and enjoy the process more join a movie Discussion Group find people online online or in your local community

who enjoy movies join forums social media groups or clubs where you can share insights and practice your English for example you could ask questions like what did you think of the ending who is your favorite character and why engaging in these conversations helps you practice English naturally don't be afraid of mistakes as you experiment with new phrases or ideas from movies you might make errors remember that's a natural part of learning mistakes mean you're trying and growing celebrate your progress rather than focusing on being perfect learning should be enjoyable after completing a challenging movie treat

perfectly well when listening or reading but when it's time to speak the words just don't come out you freeze or maybe you say something but feel unsure if it's correct if this sounds like you don't worry you are not alone this is a common challenge for many people learning English and the good news is that there are specific reasons for this and clear ways to overcome it in today's video we'll dive into why understanding English is much easier than speaking it and most importantly how you can bridge the gap between the two by the end

of this video you'll have practical tips to start building your speaking confidence and fluency let's get started reason one passive versus Active Learning one of the biggest reasons you can understand English but struggle to speak it is the difference between passive learning and active learning let me explain when you listen to English or read something in English you're practicing passive skills these are activities where you consume the language like watching movies listening to podcasts or reading books they help your brain recognize words phrases and grammar patterns over time this makes it easier for you to

understand when others speak but speaking English is an active skill this means you have to take what you've learned passively and use it in real time when speaking your brain has to do several things at once recall the right words and phrases put them into the correct sentence structure pronounce them clearly do all this quickly while maintaining confidence if you focus mostly on passive learning and don't practice speaking your brain won't be trained to handle the pressure of using English in real life situations think of it like this understanding English is like watching someone else

ride a bicycle you might know how they do it but unless you get on the bike and practice this you'll never learn to ride it yourself so what's the solution start balancing your passive learning with active learning begin practicing simple conversations repeating sentences out loud and finding opportunities to use the language this shift from passive to active practice is the first step to building your speaking confidence reason two fear of making mistakes another common reason people can understand English but can't speak it is the fear of making mistakes this fear can hold you back from

even trying to speak let's dive deeper into this why do we fear mistakes mistakes can make us feel embarrassed or shy especially if we're talking to someone who speaks English fluently thoughts like what if I say it wrong or what if they laugh at me often run through our minds this fear can become so strong that we prefer staying silent but let me tell you something important making mistakes is a natural part of learning think about when you learn to ride a bike or play a new game did you get everything right the first time

to people you trust like friends teachers or even yourself in the mirror it's less scary and a good way to build confidence celebrate your effort every time you speak English no matter how small give yourself credit remember remember every word you say brings you closer to fluency mistakes are not a sign of failure they are signs of progress each mistake teaches you something new and helps you grow so next time you feel scared to speak English remind yourself it's okay to make mistakes they're part of the journey to becoming a confident English speaker reason three

lack of speaking practice another big reason why people can understand English but struggle to speak it is a lack of speaking practice think about this you get better at any skill by doing it if you don't practice speaking English regularly it will be hard to improve why is speaking practice so important speaking activates different parts of your brain compared to listening or reading it helps you recall words faster regular speaking makes it easier to find the right words improve pronunciation the more you say words aloud the clearer and more natural they'll sound gain confidence the

more you practice the less nervous you'll feel about speaking without consistent speaking your English stays in your head you might understand words and sentences when others speak but forming your own sentences becomes a challenge why don't people practice speaking no one to talk to many Learners don't have someone to practice with shyness some Learners feel awkward or embarrassed to speak English in front of others time it's easier to listen to a podcast or watch a movie than it is to arrange speaking practice how to practice speaking more talk to yourself you don't need a partner

to practice describe your day repeat sentences from TV shows or think aloud in English use apps many language apps Connect you with speaking Partners or provide speaking exercises find a language partner join an online language exchange group or find a friend learning your language who can help you practice imitate what you hear listen to native speakers and movies or videos pause and repeat what they say focus on mimicking their tone and Rhythm join speaking groups many local or online groups gather for English conversation practice these can be fun and relaxed spaces to build your skills
