in today's English fluency
0:02
lesson we're going to talk about one of the best things you can do
0:05
to build confidence in English
0:07
and this is something
0:09
that most English Learners
0:11
completely Overlook to overlook
0:14
something means to not
0:16
think about doing it
0:18
so most English Learners
0:20
don't even think about
0:21
doing what I'm going to talk about today
0:25
and what it is is going to really help your
0:28
confidence when you're having
0:30
natural conversations with someone
0:33
it is very simple
0:35
very practical and we're going to talk about
0:38
how to do this step by step
0:40
before we go into it
0:41
my name is Jack
0:42
from T fluency if you are watching this on YouTube
0:46
Welcome to you and
0:49
if you are listening to this
0:51
on Apple podcast or
0:53
Spotify then welcome to you too
0:56
be sure to check the description
0:59
to get the best
1:00
English learning resources So today
1:03
we're going to talk about
1:04
how to prepare yourself
1:07
for most conversations that you're going to have in English
1:12
by focusing on one simple
1:14
idea it's going to give you the confidence to know
1:17
that you can have these
1:18
conversations without having to think too much about what to say and it's this
1:24
creating personal sentences creating
1:28
personal sent sentences that are specific
1:31
to you think about this
1:34
when you meet somebody new
1:36
what do you usually
1:37
talk about when you meet somebody new
1:40
what kind of sentences
1:42
do you usually use
1:44
it's one of two things
1:45
you're going to talk about
1:48
yourself and you're going to ask questions
1:51
to the other person
1:52
let's focus on yourself
1:54
you're going to talk about
1:56
your job your likes and
1:58
dislikes your personal situation
2:02
your experiences and other things
2:05
related to you you're going to talk about
2:09
yourself but most Learners
2:11
freeze in these situations
2:14
most Learners feel like they don't know what to say about
2:18
themselves simply because they haven't
2:20
prepared here's a secret
2:23
you already know what you're going to say
2:25
in these conversations because
2:28
talking about yourself doesn't actually
2:31
change so why not
2:34
make it perfect or close to perfect
2:37
in advance why not come
2:39
fully prepared with these sentences
2:42
in advance so by the end of this episode
2:45
you know how to create
2:47
50 personalized sentences about
2:49
yourself sentences you can use
2:52
again and again these will become
2:55
your secret weapon for sounding
2:58
fluent and conf confident in English
3:01
so stay until the end
3:02
because this technique will transform
3:04
the way you approach conversations
3:06
in English so let's start with why
3:09
personal sentences are so effective
3:11
most conversations revolve around familiar
3:15
topics things like introducing
3:17
yourself talking about your
3:20
family explaining your job
3:23
or sharing what you did
3:25
last weekend this is what most people are going to ask you
3:29
at the start of a conversation
3:32
so imagine that you meet somebody
3:34
in a pub or you meet somebody
3:36
at a language exchange
3:38
they're going to ask you about your family your job
3:41
what you did last weekend
3:43
and similar sentences to this
3:45
and if you prepare
3:47
your answers in advance
3:49
you'll save time reduce
3:51
stress and speak more naturally and fluently in English
3:55
here's an example imagine
3:57
somebody asks you what do you do
4:00
what do you do
4:01
if you've already practiced
4:03
saying I'm a graphic
4:05
designer I design logos
4:07
and branding for small
4:09
businesses you'll answer this
4:12
without hesitation if somebody asks you
4:15
are you married do you have children
4:17
and you say yes I have two
4:20
children one boy and one girl
4:23
one is aged 17
4:24
and one is aged
4:25
12 they go to school at the moment
4:28
etc etc so you can think about creating sentences
4:32
about your family and the same with hobbies and interests
4:35
for example if you spend a lot of your time playing computer
4:38
games you can save things like
4:41
I play computer games
4:42
I really like this game or that game
4:45
so these sentences that you practice
4:47
along with the questions
4:49
will become your foundation
4:52
these will be your go-to
4:53
sentences when you start talking with somebody
4:57
who you don't know
4:58
they're not just words
5:00
they tools you can rely on
5:02
in these types of
5:04
situations now you know why this is so important
5:08
let's talk about how to create
5:10
your 50 personal sentences
5:12
in fact I'm going to help you
5:14
in the description by giving you a list of things that you can focus
5:17
on a list of topics that you're going to find really useful
5:21
so start by thinking about the things you talk about
5:24
most often here are some ideas
5:27
your name that's an easy one
5:30
how old you are
5:31
although this is going to change
5:34
and where you're from
5:35
so those are the simple ones that maybe your thinking
5:38
I already know how to do those
5:40
the next topics could be your job
5:43
or your studies your hobbies
5:45
in interests your family
5:48
and friends your recent
5:50
experiences what you normally do at the weekend
5:54
and then you can think about some
5:56
fun facts or things that you've done in the past that are inter in
6:00
for example you might have traveled to
6:03
specific countries so write down five or 10 topics
6:07
that you'll know will come up in conversations
6:10
once you have your topic
6:12
write a few sentences
6:14
that are clear easy to remember
6:16
and sound natural in English
6:19
so let's go back to the example
6:21
of you being a graphic
6:22
designer you can say things like
6:25
I'm a graphic designer
6:27
I work with small businesses
6:28
to create their brand
6:30
I love designing logos
6:33
right now I'm working
6:35
on a big project for a local
6:37
coffee shop so here we are talking about
6:41
what you do your if you like it or don't like it
6:45
and what you're working on
6:47
right now don't try to sound
6:49
overly complex focus on sentences
6:52
that feel comfortable and natural
6:54
and then also make your sentences
6:57
specific generic senten Es are okay
7:01
but specific ones are much better
7:03
so instead of just saying
7:05
I like tennis you can say
7:08
I love playing tennis
7:10
but I only play in summer
7:12
or I love playing tennis
7:14
I try to play twice a week
7:17
I love playing tennis
7:18
but I'm not that good at it at the moment
7:21
specific details make your sentences
7:23
more interesting and also
7:25
easier to remember so people will be more interested in what you're saying
7:29
and you're more likely to remember
7:31
this now I'll leave a link to the episode I made
7:34
about using AI to help you learn English and you can use this in
7:39
this stage as well
7:40
you can use chat GPT
7:42
to come up with some of the most
7:43
interesting sentences based on you and your life
7:47
okay the next step
7:49
is to practice your
7:51
sentences because knowing what the sentences
7:54
are and creating these sentences
7:57
isn't enough you want to practice
7:59
them so that you can just use them
8:01
naturally and without thinking
8:04
while you're in conversations
8:06
now if you have followed me
8:08
or watch my videos in the past
8:10
you'll know that I love specific
8:12
methods and again I'll leave a link to the methods that I think work
8:17
so well when it comes to remembering
8:19
sentences things like using
8:22
flashcards things like using the listen record
8:25
repeat compare method where you take the sentence
8:29
read it out loud record yourself saying it
8:32
and then you can actually
8:34
compare your sentence to what it should sound like
8:38
but the idea is that you're going to need repetition
8:41
here and to practice speaking and saying it correctly
8:45
in order to remember how to say this naturally
8:48
the more repetition the better
8:50
but you can do smart
8:52
repetition too you can repeat it in a smart
8:55
way and again all I recommend you do here
8:59
is go to the description of this video
9:02
or the podcast episode
9:04
and check out the video
9:05
I made on that because it goes through how to use these sentences
9:09
step by step and then the idea is to practice these sentences
9:13
in real life situations
9:16
and by doing this you'll be able to practice it in a way
9:19
that feels real but you'll also notice how much easier it is to
9:23
talk about yourself once
9:26
you have practiced this and once you have
9:28
these senten in your memory
9:31
you can actually practice
9:32
with AI again go watch the video I made on that
9:36
but also another tip is
9:38
when you're having these
9:40
conversations you're often thinking
9:43
oh I wish I could say that easily
9:46
or I wish I could talk about this topic
9:49
make notes about that
9:51
and then create more sentences
9:53
that are specific to you
9:54
so that you won't have that problem
9:56
in the future so what you're going to do
9:59
is create these sentences
10:01
based on you based on different topics
10:05
and make these sentences
10:06
specific in natural then you're going to practice these sentences
10:11
on your own before using them in real life situations
10:15
with AI or with a teacher
10:18
and then also build on these sentences
10:21
over time so you can start with 50
10:23
to begin with but as you get going
10:26
as you start speaking
10:27
and talking more about yourself
10:29
you can add sentences
10:31
to this list and this is going to give you such
10:34
a confidence boost because when you've practice talking about yourself
10:38
you'll feel prepared and confident
10:41
in almost any conversation
10:43
it also builds fluency
10:46
because these sentences help you
10:48
internalize vocabulary and grammar
10:50
so that over time you'll speak more naturally
10:53
without thinking about rules
10:55
and it also allows you to
10:56
use them in a flexible
10:58
way because as your life changes
11:01
you can update your
11:02
sentences the method stays the same
11:05
but the content will evolve
11:08
as you grow older
11:10
so the task for you the challenge for you
11:13
is to write 10 sentences
11:15
about yourself today start with 10
11:19
use ones that are going to challenge you a little bit
11:22
so if you're already know how to say
11:25
I'm 40 years old
11:27
that's okay but start with some one
11:29
that you might need to challenge yourself a little bit
11:33
practice these sentences and commit to practicing
11:36
them over the long term
11:38
add to the sentences
11:40
as you go and then
11:42
start using them in natural
11:45
conversations now a bonus tip here
11:47
is to also have
11:49
common questions to ask
11:51
have common questions to ask
11:54
now this might sound quite simple
11:56
and you might think
11:57
oh I'm an advanced
11:59
learner or I know English quite well
12:01
I don't need to practice these sentences
12:04
but I have noticed
12:05
through teaching and interacting
12:07
with people that even if people have quite a high level
12:12
they can still benefit a lot
12:14
from practicing simple questions
12:17
things like what do you do
12:19
using the correct pronunciation
12:22
so what do you do
12:23
what do you do
12:24
or where are you from
12:27
and then sentences such as
12:29
are you into sport
12:30
are you into football
12:32
so your goal is to write 10 sentences or more
12:35
and then check out the description
12:36
to watch videos on how to internalize
12:39
these sentences and repeat them
12:41
because that is the key
12:43
in order to speak more naturally
12:45
and fluently and then send this episode or this video on YouTube
12:50
to a friend so that they can benefit
12:53
from it too now if you haven't subscribed
12:55
already or followed the podcast
12:58
then do that now
13:00
thank you so much for listening
13:02
or watching if you're on
13:03
YouTube and go and watch those videos I've mentioned
13:07
or go watch another video
13:09
or listen to another podcast episode now
13:11
