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

Amazing work making it all the way to
the end of this long conversation.
In this practice, you didn't just repeat
random phrases. You stepped into a real
situation. a learner asking for help and
a teacher giving clear practical tips
about routine, confidence, vocabulary,
and progress. Every sentence you
shadowed trained your mouth, your ears,
and your mindset at the same time.
Remember, if you don't work on your
English, the world becomes smaller. But
every time you practice like this, your
world becomes a little bigger. You are
in the right place. You have a safe
space to train your English voice, make
mistakes, and grow. If you completed
this practice, tell me in the comments.
I'm serious about my English journey. I
would love to read your comment and
cheer for you. If this video helped you,
