0:02 Hello my friends and welcome back to
0:05 English fluency teacher. Before we jump
0:07 into the conversation, I want you to
0:10 really think about why you're here.
0:12 English is not just a school subject
0:15 anymore. It's the language of jobs,
0:18 travel, study, and connection. When you
0:21 improve your English, you open doors to
0:24 better work opportunities, international
0:27 friendships, online courses, and
0:31 information from all over the world.
0:34 You can speak up in meetings, understand
0:37 your favorite content without subtitles,
0:39 and share your ideas with people far
0:42 beyond your own country.
0:44 But when we don't work on our English,
0:47 there are real drawbacks.
0:49 We stay quiet in conversations because
0:52 we're afraid of making mistakes.
0:55 We miss chances at work because we can't
0:57 express ourselves clearly.
1:00 We avoid speaking to foreigners even
1:04 when we want to inside. We know we are
1:06 capable of more, but the words don't
1:09 come out and that feels frustrating and limiting.
1:11 limiting.
1:14 The good news is you don't have to stay
1:18 stuck there. You are not too late. You
1:21 are not bad at languages.
1:24 You simply haven't had the right kind of
1:27 speaking practice. The kind that trains
1:30 your mouth, your ears, and your
1:33 confidence at the same time. And that's
1:35 exactly what we're going to do together
1:38 in this video. You have come to a safe
1:42 place to practice. You will shadow every
1:45 single sentence two times.
1:48 As you do this, you'll train real
1:50 conversational English,
1:54 asking for tips, receiving advice,
1:58 talking about your fears, and building a
2:00 clear plan to improve.
2:04 I will speak at natural speed. I will
2:07 say each sentence two times.
2:10 During the pauses, repeat out loud with
2:14 me. Don't just move your lips. really speak.
2:15 speak.
2:17 You don't need to worry about grammar
2:19 rules or perfection.
2:22 Your only job right now is to follow the
2:26 flow. Copy the rhythm and let your
2:29 English voice wake up. Let's start this

42:31 random phrases. You stepped into a real
42:34 situation. a learner asking for help and
42:37 a teacher giving clear practical tips
42:40 about routine, confidence, vocabulary,

42:45 shadowed trained your mouth, your ears,
42:48 and your mindset at the same time.

42:53 English, the world becomes smaller. But
42:56 every time you practice like this, your
42:58 world becomes a little bigger. You are
43:01 in the right place. You have a safe
43:03 space to train your English voice, make
43:06 mistakes, and grow. If you completed
43:09 this practice, tell me in the comments.
