0:03 Hello everyone, I'm Emma. Welcome to
0:06 Shadowing with Speak English Daily. I
0:08 know that feeling.
0:10 You've been studying English for three,
0:14 four, maybe even 5 years. You know
0:16 grammar by heart, memorize thousands of
0:19 words, but every time you open your
0:23 mouth to speak, your brain freezes,
0:25 your tongue gets stuck, and what comes
0:28 out sounds terrible. Do you feel mute
0:30 when you have to speak English? You know
0:32 what you want to say, but you just can't
0:35 express it.
0:37 Here's the secret. Native speakers don't
0:40 use fancy words. We use simple words in
0:43 phrases that confuse you. That's what
0:44 we're fixing today through everyday
0:47 native expressions. The method is
0:51 simple. Hear a sentence? Say a sentence.
0:54 Just copy and repeat.
0:56 This is day four of our 30-day
0:59 challenge, directions. You're lost in a
1:02 city. Someone gives you directions, but
1:04 your mind goes blank. Today, that
1:07 changes forever. In 10 minutes, you'll
1:10 master 30 direction phrases.
1:13 No more translating in your head, just
1:16 natural English flowing out. Ready to
1:19 never feel lost again? Let's start shadowing.
