Hello 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, memorize thousands of
words, but every time you open your
mouth to speak, your brain freezes,
your tongue gets stuck, and what comes
out sounds terrible. Do you feel mute
when you have to speak English? You know
what you want to say, but you just can't
express it.
Here's the secret. Native speakers don't
use fancy words. We use simple words in
phrases that confuse you. That's what
we're fixing today through everyday
native expressions. The method is
simple. Hear a sentence? Say a sentence.
Just copy and repeat.
This is day four of our 30-day
challenge, directions. You're lost in a
city. Someone gives you directions, but
your mind goes blank. Today, that
changes forever. In 10 minutes, you'll
master 30 direction phrases.
No more translating in your head, just
natural English flowing out. Ready to
never feel lost again? Let's start shadowing.
