Real-Life English Phone Conversations | Day 3 |Shadowing English Speaking Practice – Transcript

00:00Hello everyone, I'm Emma. Welcome to Shadowing with Speak English Daily. I know that feeling. You've been studying English for three, four, maybe even 5 years. You know grammar by heart. You've memorized thousands of words. But every time you open your mouth to speak, your brain freezes. Your tongue gets stuck.

00:24And what comes out sounds terrible. Do you feel like you're mute when you have to speak English? You know what you want to say, but you just can't express it? That's exactly why we need this shadowing method. No more theory, just training your speaking reflexes. Here's what I want you to do. Give me 30 days.

00:4630 topics about your real life before you try to learn advanced stuff. Make sure you can confidently talk about what happens around you first. Sounds simple, right? But when you're actually in that situation, you freeze up. You keep translating from your native language. You keep searching for vocabulary. You panic. Let me tell you a secret.

01:10All that vocabulary and grammar you've memorized. It doesn't help you speak naturally. You know why? Because native speakers don't use fancy words. We use simple words and phrases that you don't understand. That's what we're going to fix through my conversations, through everyday native expressions, using the simplest words that somehow

01:35confuse you. Why? Because we use them in phrases, not alone. So, here's the method. Just copy and repeat. Hear a sentence, say a sentence. That simple.

01:47Give me 30 days, and I promise you'll speak about your life naturally. No more translating in your head. No more searching for words. Just natural English flowing out. Are you ready to commit to these 30 days with me? Let's start shadowing.

02:06When was the last time you avoided an English phone call? You see an unknown number, heart racing, and you let it ring until it stops. Or someone says, "Can you call and ask about this for me?" and you find every excuse to avoid it. Today, that fear ends. Day three starts right now.

08:30handled that? You just completed a professional phone call. That confidence you're feeling. Hold on to it. Was that speed okay for you? Comment one if it felt too fast.

08:44Comment two if it was too slow. Comment okay if the speed was just right. I ask because I want to tune the pace to help you practice better in the next video. Now we'll practice two rounds. Every conversation needs two people. We'll switch roles so you experience both perspectives. This is crucial.

09:06Understanding both sides of a conversation leads to better communication skills. Pause after each response. Actually, practice out loud. Don't just watch. Do it.
