English speakers learned and mastered
the English language you can use the
same techniques to improve your English
fluency proficiency and to improve your

speaking in English in this video lesson
you'll better understand how native
English speakers let the English
language and how you can do the same to
improve your English friends if you're
watching this video lesson most likely
you're struggling with confidence to
speak in English maybe you forget
different words different grammatical
structures maybe you just get to speak
in English friends have you ever thought
about the way that you're currently
learning the English language are you
memorizing words so you're not making
sentences with words but you're creating
long word lists are you not using those
words or maybe are you listening to
audios of English teachers speaking in
English but you're not listening to
English being used naturally or maybe
you're simply not speaking in English
you lack the speaking practice
you need friends in order for you to
sound more like a native English speaker
you need to understand how native
English speakers learnt and master the
English language to enable them to speak
English confidently and fluently friends
for you to better understand this and
I'm sure each and every one of you
watching this video lesson can relate
friends think back to the day you were
born if you can remember that day that
news friends where you were born were
you able to speak were you able to write
did you understand what your parents are
saying to you or what your friends or
your family friends are saying to you in
your native language most likely not
friends when you were very young think
about the time when you were young when
you were from about 0 to 1 to 2 years
what did you do
in this time period usually in this time
period of a child's development they are
listening they are listening and they
are observing the natural environment
friends this is exactly what native
English speakers do when they are born
they listen to English being used they
observe what people are doing how people
react to certain words where they
actually laugh whether they should cry
they observe friends this is an
important part of your English learning
journey as if you want to learn how to
speak English like a native English
speaker
you have to listen listening is such a
crucial skill and you should be
surrounding yourself with the English
language just as US native English
speakers did when we were younger listen
to English as much as possible because
by listening you are absorbing yourself
you are immersing yourself in the
English language and you will hear new
words grammar
you'll hear idioms phrasal verbs
expressions being used naturally going
back to a child after about 8 to 1 year
maybe you're in a year and a half a
child begins to speak friends the first
words a child usually says is mama or
Dada Papa actually probably knocked down
but mama papa
they're very simple words so they're
usually two syllable words and they say
these most likely I don't know what your
first word was but I'm pretty sure of my
first word was mama because my mum
constantly repeated to me ma ma because
I constantly heard my mum saying ma ma
ma ma it was only natural for me to say
to produce this word as my first word
Brenda it's very important here to take
note that by listening by consistently
listening to my mother speaking speaking
to me by listening to her turn her
intonation I shadowed friends this is
something that many native English
speakers do we shadow we repeat this is
why shadowing is such a crucial step
very important for you to be doing this
if you want to speak English like a
native English with confidence and it's
to effectively be able to shadow you
have to be able to understand what
people are seeing around you this is why
it's so important to be immersed in the
English language in verbal form so
listening
surround yourself surround yourself with
English being used native English
speakers do this naturally as their
parents their friends when they are out
in society they hear English being used
friends you can do this today if
regardless I know you're probably not
six months or one year old you're older
but you can do this you can immerse
yourself you can listen to English being
used through YouTube videos by watching
TV by listening to music by listening to
podcasts there are many great ways for
you to listen listen to English being
used naturally now looking back at a
young child so it may be a baby that's
one years old this baby is beginning to
speak this baby's mother and father will
repeat the same word thousand one times
to that child until the child says it
correctly friends this is what shadowing
is this is important friends this is
something that we natives did when we
were very young and this is how we are
able to speak in English and why
wouldn't you do the same friends you can
shadow shadow listen listen to people
speaking in English and repeat out loud
these sentences by doing this you are
copying so you're listening you're
hearing somebody saying these words and
you're copying them out loud and you are
learning just as we're native English
speakers dear friends but shadowing is
so much more than being able to improve
your pronunciation and intonation by
shadowing your shadow grandma being used
naturally your shadow phrasal verbs
idioms and new expressions which
you can use friends you have to
understand that many English native
speakers I wouldn't say that they don't
know grammar but they don't know how to
identify subject object okay not all of
them but they don't know all the English
grammar rules one common problem many of
my students face is articles and
prepositions now friends I'm sure that
you also struggle with the use of
articles and prepositions if you go and
do a google search on the use of
articles and prepositions you'll see
that there are so many rules and there
are so many exceptions but how do need
in English speakers know when to use
that article or when to use that
preposition when speaking in English
friends they know when to use these
articles and prepositions because of
shadowing and immersion they have
surrounded themselves with the English
language they have listened to people
speaking they have heard this being used
politically and they shadow naturally
this is exactly what I recommend to all
of my students especially if you're
having issues with articles and
prepositions that you listen listen to
English being used naturally as much as
possible now there is a technical word
for this and this is called immersion
basically surround yourself with the
English language listen to it and shadow
now shadowing is also crucial because
you are applying what you hear you are
doing if you're not doing it then you
are not learning like a native English
speaker it's very important for you to
spend time to dedicate time to be
listening but also doing so listening
being emotion and doing being shadowing
okay so you understand the importance of
listening as native English speakers do
be snatch
I did this naturally when I was young I
listen to English being used I was
surrounded by the English language then
I had to copy people I had to copy them
shatter repeat so that I could make
mistakes friends in order for you to
learn English like a native
you need to make mistakes if you don't
like making mistakes I'm sorry but
you're not learning English like a
native make mistakes mistakes are such a
crucial part of the English learning
journey actually it's important for any
learning any new skill that you're
learning if you make mistakes what you
do is you make them and you also learn
from your mistakes
if you don't do the theory if you don't
apply the theory then you don't know if
you're improving not improving it's very
important for you to be making these
mistakes make those pronunciation
mistakes intonation mistakes use wrong
word in a wrong sentence but I'm sure
that when you are doing this you will
notice your mistakes and you will
improve your mistakes in the future okay
let's go back to a child and how a child
in an english-speaking country a native
English speaker learns English friends
at about two to four years old children
usually interact with other people they
may be children the same age as they are
it may be with their parents with family
friends maybe kindergarten at daycare
basically this child is interacting with
other people now at about two to four
years old a child still doesn't know all
the words in the English language maybe
some children do and to apologize but
they are still learning they're still
improving their vocabulary most likely
they're making grammar mistakes but they
are making mistakes friends at this
stage their parents their family friends
maybe their friends their teachers they
are correcting their mistakes they are
highlighting what they're doing wrong
and that child will learn from these
mistakes friend this is why it's so
important for you to be speaking to be
shadowing and to be learning from your
mistakes but also add about
two to four years old maybe even a
little bit older about five to six years
old a child begins to write a child gets
a pen and gets a piece of paper and
starts to write letters
maybe they learn to write their own name
but or maybe even really really simple
sentences friends one step one crucial
step many English learners miss
completely in the English learning
journey and which doesn't give them the
opportunity to ever achieve or reach
English fluency is that they don't write
in English now friends one thing you're
probably wondering about is and you're
really struggling with is being able to
speak in English but also think fast in
English friends I really had no debate
and push all my students to write in
English and to write on a consistent
basis this is something that US English
speakers do throughout kindergarten and
primary school we are writing so what do
you think all those new words were
shadowed with heard when other English
speakers have spoken around us by
immersion and we are using those words
which we've heard and which we've
probably said out loud and we're putting
them on paper friends by putting words
down on paper by writing in English
you're forcing yourself to think in
English now I know this is something
that may be most likely many of you
really struggle with so when you're
speaking in English with somebody you
get stuck because you forget that word
you forget you don't know you're maybe
which grammatical structure to use it's
because you haven't developed the
ability to think in English friends as
native English speakers we are forced to
think when we go to school when we go to
kindergarten to put pen to paper and to
think to construct a sentence and to use
that knowledge that we've heard through
emotion this is exactly what you should
be doing on a consistent basis is
getting it into the habit of putting
pent
paper writing even one sentence a day
two sentences a day but train yourself
to use these words that you've heard
through emotion put them on paper use
grammar make mistakes get feedback of
course on your writing and improve
native English speakers do this all the
time pen to paper we use the words and
we improve friends you have to
understand that learning English is a
process so you may have noticed I
skipped you use here so going from a
child from zero years old six years old
but friends we're just summarizing here
so that you can understand in general
how US English speakers learn English
you can use this as well to begin with
by surrounding yourself immersing
yourself by listening to English
speakers by listening to English being
used naturally then you should be
applying the shadowing technique
repeating outloud exactly what English
speakers are saying you have to be
making mistakes mistakes are part of the
learning process and you will learn
develop an improve your English by
making those mistakes you have to be
writing in English ask native English
speakers we write on a daily basis be
that if we're SMSing somebody if we're
writing an email whatever correspondence
we have we do write in English this
enables us to think quicker in English
and you should be doing the same but
friends if you're doing these three
things and if you're not speaking you're
doing all the theory but you're not
speaking to people to real people in
English then you're never going to speak
English like a native English speaker
friends in order for you to truly master
and to truly learn English just as a
native English speakers have you have to
be using your English it's quite simple
so you've listened you've immersed
you've shattered your writing you're
making mistakes but you need feedback if
you're not getting feedback from people
then you will never know if your English
has improved speak to people find
somebody to speak to
in English because by you speaking to
people you'll see hey can they
understand me or am I using the wrong
word
you may even affect somebody by using
the wrong word but this is a mistake you
will make and you will learn from your
mistake and you'll know and you will
avoid using this word in the future
friends you have to understand that the
English language is a means of
communication at the moment I am
speaking to you in the video format I am
teaching you how to speak English like a
native
but of course maybe your maybe you will
teach somebody these tips and teach them
how to speak English like a native but
you're most likely learning English for
a better job
to move abroad to pass IELTS TOEFL or
just simply to speak with other English
speakers meet other people from around
the world understand friends that if
you're not communicating with people you
will never speak English like a native
English speaker speaking is such an
important step you have to go out there
find somebody to speak to in English so
that you can see your results you can
see your improvements and this will
enable you to think faster in English
and to achieve English fluency this is
exactly how native English speakers
learn make mistakes develop their
vocabulary use grammar and expressions
through communication by hearing people
using new words expressions slang even
making mistakes friends native English
speakers make mistakes all the time we
learn from our mistakes we developed our
mistakes and I'm sure that I've made
many mistakes in this video lesson
friends this is only natural
this is English being used naturally in
spoken form and for you to learn English
like a native you also need to be making
these mistakes just as we needed English
speakers do friends decide this lesson
it's very important for you to
understand that you
learn English you can learn to speak
English like a native just as we do you
have to be listening listening to
English venues naturally so they can
hear grammar vocabulary idioms slang and
expressions being used naturally you
have to be shadowing so listening
repeating copying out loud so that you
can practice just as we did when we were
children you have to be making mistakes
we learn from our mistakes we develop
our mistakes and we learn not to make
these mistakes in the future you have to
be speaking in English if you're not
speaking to somebody in English you are
not improving and you will never sound
like a native English speaker speak to
people use these words expressions
grammar that you have learnt heard
shadowed so that you can communicate in
English writing is such a crucial skill
don't underestimate the importance of
writing as by writing in English you are
training your brain to think in English
friends don't forget that the English
language is a means of communication I'm
speaking to you right now in English and
we are having well I'm having a
monologue but I am teaching you a skill
something in English do the same connect
with other people connect with other
English speakers and you will see the
