Hello my friend and welcome back to
English fluency teacher. If you want to
use English in real life, on the phone,
in online meetings, at work or in
serious conversations, this practice is
for you. Many English learners
understand a lot, but when the phone
rings or the meeting starts, they
suddenly feel nervous, blank, or afraid
to speak. Today, we're going to train
exactly that problem. In this video,
you'll shadow real sentences for phone
calls, online meetings, small talk,
giving updates, and handling problems
politely. The kind of English you really
need in work and study life. Here is how
we'll practice. I will speak at normal
speed. I will say each sentence two
times. After each sentence, you will
repeat after me. Your job is simple.
Speak out loud with me. Don't worry
about mistakes.
Stay with me until the very end. You're
not just learning words today. You're
building a confident communication style
in English.
Take a deep breath with me. Inhale. Exhale.
Exhale.
So, let's begin our real communication
shadowing practice with English fluency
teacher. Listen to me carefully and then
repeat each sentence after me.

You did it. You've just completed a long
reall life communication workout with
English fluency teacher. Today you
didn't only repeat sentences. You
practiced phone calls, online meetings,
small talk, and professional English.
These are the moments that usually make
learners nervous, but you faced them
sentence by sentence and trained your
fluency like a professional.
Remember, every time you shadow, your
voice gets stronger. Your ears
understand more and your mind reacts
faster in English. If you reached the
end of this video, you are truly serious
about your English. If you finished this
practice, write in the comments, "I
finished my communication workout." I'd
love to see your comment and celebrate
your progress with you. If this video
helped you, please like the video,
subscribe to English Fluency Teacher,
and share this practice with someone who
wants to feel more confident on calls
and in meetings.
Thank you so much for practicing with me
today. Keep learning, keep believing in
yourself, and keep speaking.
You are doing amazing, and you are much
closer to fluency than you think. This
is English fluency teacher, and I'll see
you in the next shadowing practice. Bye
