00:00:04
hello everyone today I want to talk to
00:00:08
you about something very close to my
00:00:10
heart how to talk in
00:00:13
English english changed my
00:00:16
life it opened doors helped me make new
00:00:20
friends and inspired me to dream
00:00:23
bigger when I first started learning I
00:00:26
was scared i didn't know many words and
00:00:30
my accent was different but I never gave
00:00:33
up step by step I learned just like a
00:00:37
baby learning to walk i fell many times
00:00:41
but I got up again i know some of you
00:00:44
feel the same maybe you are shy to speak
00:00:48
afraid to make mistakes or worried that
00:00:51
people will laugh but remember making
00:00:55
mistakes is part of learning
00:00:58
if we don't try we can never
00:01:03
improve talking in English is like
00:01:06
learning to swim at first the water
00:01:09
seems deep and you may be scared to jump
00:01:12
in but once you take that first step you
00:01:15
start to feel better the more you
00:01:18
practice the more comfortable you
00:01:21
become one of the best ways to learn
00:01:24
English is by listening
00:01:27
when you listen to English your ears get
00:01:30
used to the sounds you hear how words
00:01:33
are pronounced and you learn new phrases
00:01:37
without even realizing it it's like
00:01:40
listening to music the more you listen
00:01:44
the more you
00:01:45
understand another way to get better at
00:01:48
speaking is by practicing with friends
00:01:51
or even by yourself sometimes I talk to
00:01:55
myself in English it may feel silly but
00:01:59
it
00:02:00
helps you can pretend you're having a
00:02:03
conversation ask yourself questions and
00:02:06
answer them the more you talk the better
00:02:09
you get and don't worry if you don't
00:02:12
know many words you don't need big words
00:02:16
to speak
00:02:18
well simple words are enough
00:02:21
just focus on saying what you want to
00:02:24
say even if it's not perfect people will
00:02:28
understand and over time you will learn
00:02:31
more
00:02:33
words when I was learning I used to
00:02:36
think what if people laugh at me but
00:02:39
then I realized if I don't speak I will
00:02:44
never improve so I spoke anyway and
00:02:48
guess what most people were kind they
00:02:51
didn't laugh they helped me so if you
00:02:55
are nervous that's okay it's normal to
00:02:58
feel that way but don't let that stop
00:03:01
you take a deep breath smile and start
00:03:06
talking the more you do it the easier it
00:03:09
will
00:03:10
become another thing that helped me was
00:03:13
reading out loud when you read your
00:03:17
brain gets used to seeing and saying the
00:03:20
words it's like exercising your muscles
00:03:24
the more you do it the stronger you
00:03:27
get also don't be afraid to ask for help
00:03:31
if you don't know how to say something
00:03:34
it's okay to ask
00:03:36
someone we all need help sometimes and
00:03:40
asking questions is how we learn
00:03:43
one last thing I want to say is this
00:03:46
believe in
00:03:48
yourself if you think I can't do this
00:03:52
then it will be hard but if you tell
00:03:55
yourself I can learn this you will see
00:03:58
progress english is not hard if you take
00:04:02
it one step at a time imagine you are
00:04:06
climbing a mountain you don't reach the
00:04:09
top in one big jump you take one small
00:04:12
step then another and another before you
00:04:16
know it you've reached the
00:04:19
top it's the same with learning to talk
00:04:22
in English so I encourage you all to
00:04:26
start today speak English as much as you
00:04:30
can don't worry about making mistakes
00:04:33
don't worry if it's not perfect just
00:04:36
speak
00:04:38
in the end learning English is like
00:04:41
planting a tree you water it every day
00:04:44
and it grows slowly but one day you will
00:04:48
see that it has grown tall and strong
00:04:52
you will feel proud of yourself for not
00:04:54
giving up remember the most important
00:04:58
thing is not how fast you learn but that
00:05:01
you never stop trying
00:05:04
so keep going keep talking and one day
00:05:08
you will be able to say "I did
00:05:12
it." I remember the first time I tried
00:05:15
to have a full conversation in English
00:05:18
my heart was racing my palms were sweaty
00:05:22
and I could feel my voice
00:05:24
shaking i was so scared of saying the
00:05:27
wrong thing but I did it anyway
00:05:31
i spoke and even though I made mistakes
00:05:34
I felt proud because I
00:05:37
tried you see speaking English is not
00:05:40
about being perfect it's about being
00:05:44
brave every time you speak you are one
00:05:48
step closer to becoming better it's like
00:05:52
a muscle if you don't use it it stays
00:05:56
weak but the more you speak the stronger
00:05:59
your English
00:06:01
becomes when I started learning I
00:06:04
watched movies and TV shows in English
00:06:08
at first I didn't understand much but I
00:06:11
kept
00:06:12
watching i paid attention to how people
00:06:15
talked how they use their hands their
00:06:18
faces and their voices it taught me that
00:06:22
speaking English is not just about words
00:06:25
but also about
00:06:27
feelings if you want to connect with
00:06:29
people don't be afraid to show your
00:06:32
feelings when you
00:06:33
talk smile when you're happy frown when
00:06:37
you're confused and use your hands to
00:06:40
express
00:06:43
yourself language is more than
00:06:46
words it's the way you communicate your
00:06:49
heart
00:06:50
sometimes when you're learning you might
00:06:53
feel stuck you may think "I've been
00:06:56
studying for so long but I'm not
00:07:00
improving." This is normal learning a
00:07:04
language is like climbing a hill
00:07:06
sometimes you move quickly and sometimes
00:07:09
it feels slow but even when it feels
00:07:12
slow remember that you are still moving
00:07:16
forward don't give up even when it feels
00:07:20
hard one thing that helped me was
00:07:23
setting small goals i didn't aim to be
00:07:26
perfect in one day instead I set small
00:07:29
daily goals one day I would focus on
00:07:33
learning new words the next day I would
00:07:36
focus on
00:07:38
pronunciation bit by bit I
00:07:41
improved and don't forget to celebrate
00:07:44
your progress when you learn a new word
00:07:48
or have a conversation in English take a
00:07:51
moment to feel
00:07:53
proud every little step is an
00:07:57
achievement learning English is a
00:07:59
journey and every step you take brings
00:08:03
you closer to where you want to be i
00:08:07
also found that keeping a journal in
00:08:09
English helped me a lot
00:08:13
every night before bed I would write
00:08:16
about my day in simple English it helped
00:08:20
me practice thinking in English and over
00:08:23
time I noticed my sentences getting
00:08:26
better you don't need to write a lot
00:08:30
even one or two sentences a day can help
00:08:34
when you're practicing speaking try to
00:08:36
think in English too
00:08:39
at first you might translate from your
00:08:42
language to English in your head but try
00:08:45
to move past
00:08:47
that think in English as much as you can
00:08:51
it's like learning to
00:08:53
dance at first you need to think about
00:08:57
each step but with practice it becomes
00:09:00
natural another thing that helped me was
00:09:03
finding friends who wanted to practice
00:09:06
English with me we would meet maybe for
00:09:09
coffee and only speak
00:09:12
English at first it was awkward because
00:09:15
none of us were very good but soon it
00:09:19
became
00:09:20
fun we learned together and laughed at
00:09:23
our mistakes you can do the same find a
00:09:27
friend or a group and practice speaking
00:09:30
together you might also feel nervous
00:09:33
about speaking to native English
00:09:35
speakers i know I did but most people
00:09:39
are kind and
00:09:41
patient they don't expect you to be
00:09:44
perfect they understand that you are
00:09:47
learning so don't be afraid to talk to
00:09:50
them if you make a mistake they might
00:09:54
correct you and that's a good thing
00:09:57
every correction is a chance to learn
00:10:00
something
00:10:01
new there will be days when you feel
00:10:04
frustrated
00:10:05
there will be times when you feel like
00:10:07
giving up but I want you to remember
00:10:10
something very
00:10:12
important you are stronger than you
00:10:16
think you have already taken the first
00:10:19
step by wanting to learn that takes
00:10:24
courage and here's the beautiful part no
00:10:28
matter where you are from no matter what
00:10:31
your background is English can connect
00:10:35
you to the
00:10:36
world it's like a bridge that brings
00:10:39
people
00:10:41
together when you speak English you can
00:10:44
travel meet new people and learn about
00:10:47
different
00:10:49
cultures it's a key that opens many
00:10:52
doors
00:10:54
so when you feel like giving up remember
00:10:58
why you
00:10:59
started think about the opportunities
00:11:01
that learning English will bring into
00:11:04
your
00:11:05
life imagine yourself in the future
00:11:08
speaking English confidently making new
00:11:11
friends and achieving your
00:11:14
dreams hold on to that vision let it
00:11:17
push you forward and always remember to
00:11:20
be kind to yourself
00:11:23
learning a language is not easy and you
00:11:27
are doing an amazing
00:11:30
job if you make a mistake don't be hard
00:11:34
on yourself instead say "I'm learning
00:11:38
and I'm getting better every
00:11:40
day." There will be moments when you
00:11:43
surprise yourself
00:11:45
you might suddenly understand a
00:11:47
conversation or say something without
00:11:50
thinking too hard about it these are the
00:11:54
moments when you realize how far you've
00:11:56
come and those moments will keep coming
00:12:00
as long as you keep
00:12:03
trying as I stand here today speaking to
00:12:06
you in English I want you to know that I
00:12:09
was once in your shoes i was scared i
00:12:14
made mistakes and I wanted to give up
00:12:17
but I didn't and if I can learn to speak
00:12:21
English so can
00:12:24
you the journey might be long but it's
00:12:28
worth every step because with every word
00:12:31
you learn with every sentence you say
00:12:34
you are building a brighter future for
00:12:37
yourself
00:12:39
i remember the day when I realized that
00:12:42
learning English was not just about
00:12:45
understanding words but about connecting
00:12:48
with
00:12:49
people i was sitting in a park and a
00:12:52
tourist came up to me asking for
00:12:54
directions in
00:12:56
English for the first time I didn't
00:13:01
hesitate i spoke with
00:13:03
confidence even though my English wasn't
00:13:06
perfect the smile on their face when
00:13:09
they understood me felt like
00:13:12
magic that's when I knew that English is
00:13:15
a powerful tool a way to bring people
00:13:20
together learning English has taught me
00:13:23
more than just a language it's taught me
00:13:27
patience resilience and the importance
00:13:30
of not giving up each word each sentence
00:13:35
is a small
00:13:36
victory and each time you speak no
00:13:39
matter how small the
00:13:42
conversation you are
00:13:45
winning one of the things that really
00:13:47
helped me was using English in my daily
00:13:51
life i didn't wait for a classroom or a
00:13:54
special occasion to practice i used
00:13:58
English everywhere
00:14:00
i would describe what I saw while
00:14:02
walking down the street or I would think
00:14:05
in English while doing simple tasks like
00:14:08
cooking or cleaning these little moments
00:14:11
of practice add up over
00:14:14
time i also loved talking to myself in
00:14:18
English i would pretend to have
00:14:20
conversations with people sometimes I
00:14:24
would even act out a scene from a movie
00:14:26
or TV show just to practice speaking out
00:14:30
loud it might sound funny but it helped
00:14:34
me feel more comfortable with the
00:14:37
language the more I talked to myself the
00:14:40
more natural English felt and here's
00:14:44
something I learned that might surprise
00:14:46
you it's okay not to know everything
00:14:51
you don't need to know every word in the
00:14:54
dictionary to speak English
00:14:57
sometimes simple words are
00:15:00
enough what's important is that you can
00:15:03
express your thoughts and
00:15:06
feelings even if you don't know the
00:15:09
perfect word there's always a way to
00:15:13
communicate english like any language is
00:15:16
about sharing your heart and mind with
00:15:19
others
00:15:20
another thing I want to share is how
00:15:23
important it is to celebrate every
00:15:26
little
00:15:27
success i remember the first time I
00:15:30
ordered food in English at a restaurant
00:15:33
it was a small thing but I felt so so
00:15:39
proud celebrate moments like this did
00:15:43
you have a conversation in English
00:15:45
today that's amazing did you learn a new
00:15:49
word that's
00:15:51
progress every step you take is a step
00:15:55
closer to your goal and when you make a
00:15:57
mistake don't be
00:16:00
discouraged in fact I want you to
00:16:03
celebrate your
00:16:04
mistakes why because mistakes are proof
00:16:08
that you are
00:16:09
trying each mistake is a lesson a chance
00:16:13
to learn something new
00:16:16
when I made mistakes I used to feel
00:16:19
embarrassed but now I see them as
00:16:22
opportunities to grow you are not alone
00:16:25
in this journey there are millions of
00:16:29
people around the world learning English
00:16:32
just like
00:16:33
you many of them feel the same way
00:16:37
nervous unsure and afraid to make
00:16:40
mistakes but remember we are all
00:16:44
learners and learning is a lifelong
00:16:48
process even native English speakers
00:16:51
learn new things about their language
00:16:54
every day if you ever feel stuck or feel
00:16:58
like you're not improving fast enough I
00:17:01
want you to take a deep breath and
00:17:03
remind yourself that learning is a
00:17:05
journey not a race
00:17:08
some days you'll make big leaps and
00:17:12
other days you'll take small steps both
00:17:16
are
00:17:17
important both bring you closer to your
00:17:21
goal confidence is
00:17:24
key another important thing I want to
00:17:27
talk about is
00:17:29
confidence confidence doesn't come from
00:17:31
being perfect it comes from believing in
00:17:34
yourself and being willing to try
00:17:38
when you speak English speak with
00:17:42
confidence even if you're unsure of your
00:17:45
words people will feel your energy
00:17:49
and that's what
00:17:51
matters confidence is something you
00:17:54
build over time and the more you
00:17:56
practice the stronger it
00:17:59
becomes don't be afraid to practice with
00:18:02
native speakers even if you think your
00:18:05
English isn't good enough
00:18:08
most people are kind and happy to
00:18:12
help in fact many native speakers admire
00:18:17
people who are learning a new language
00:18:19
because they know how challenging it can
00:18:22
be when I spoke to native speakers I was
00:18:26
nervous at first but I quickly learned
00:18:29
that they appreciated my effort and many
00:18:32
even helped me improve
00:18:37
immerse yourself in
00:18:39
English also try to surround yourself
00:18:44
with with English as much as possible
00:18:48
listen to English music watch English
00:18:51
movies read English books or articles
00:18:55
the more you expose yourself to the
00:18:58
language the more natural it will feel
00:19:01
and don't worry if you don't understand
00:19:04
everything at first over time your brain
00:19:08
will start to pick up patterns and
00:19:10
things will make more
00:19:13
sense learning English can also be
00:19:16
fun you can play games in English sing
00:19:21
along to songs join online groups where
00:19:25
people from all over the world practice
00:19:27
English together there are so many ways
00:19:31
to make learning enjoyable the key is to
00:19:34
find what works best for you and to stay
00:19:38
consistent be kind to yourself and one
00:19:41
more thing be kind to
00:19:45
yourself learning a new language is one
00:19:49
of the bravest things you can do
00:19:52
it's not easy and it takes time but
00:19:56
every day you spend learning is a step
00:20:00
forward you might not see progress right
00:20:03
away but it's
00:20:05
happening you are getting better every
00:20:09
single day at the end of the day
00:20:12
remember why you're learning English
00:20:16
whether it's for your career to travel
00:20:19
to meet new people or to simply
00:20:22
challenge yourself hold on to that
00:20:25
reason let it guide you and keep you
00:20:29
motivated when the journey feels long
00:20:33
remind yourself of the doors that will
00:20:36
open once you've mastered the language
00:20:41
one final
00:20:43
thought as you continue on this journey
00:20:46
i want to leave you with one final
00:20:49
thought english is more than just words
00:20:53
it's a bridge to new experiences new
00:20:56
friendships and new
00:20:59
opportunities when you speak English you
00:21:02
are not just learning a
00:21:04
language you are stepping into a bigger
00:21:07
world a world full of
00:21:10
possibilities so keep speaking keep
00:21:14
learning and never give up on
00:21:17
yourself one day you will look back at
00:21:20
this moment and realize how far you've
00:21:23
come and that day you will smile and say
00:21:27
