are you struggling with when it comes to the journey that you are taking on to be better at or to be just fluent in this language so let's talk about this and a lot of people ask me what exactly did back in the day in the past when i was really really focusing on improving upon my speaking skills reading was really good listening was to some extent was pretty good but speaking this is another thing i tried many different ways especially i am a big fan of watching videos on i'm really like a visual person so i need to see something i need to watch something to be able to learn something one of the things that i did is i used to binge watch youtube videos a lot and then that really helped me a lot even to advance my speaking skills in english so people ask me what i exactly do with all the videos on youtube because there are a lot of options a lot of videos out there so you know analysis paralysis so you never know what videos you have to choose that could effectively and immensely help you to improve to upgrade to level up your speaking skills in english so let me tell you my story and then you can refer to my way and apply to your journey and see if it works or not all right let's talk about this the first question that you might have if you're ready to take on this journey of practicing your speaking skills with youtube you might ask this question first so what kind of videos do you have to watch what kind of videos will be effectively helpful on your journey of practicing your speaking skills and is it really helpful does it really make a big difference okay let me tell you the videos that you're going to watch what content you're going to watch in constant will be something that touches on your interest you have a lot of different interests so pick a video that talks about your interest that's the number one thing and the next thing that i did is when i picked a video that should be talking about my interest but also it has to be as short as possible because i don't want myself to get so bored easily if it's too long the video is too long then i get so bored and i don't even know if i really can finish this video and it doesn't really feel good too and if i finish one video it also makes me feel like okay i am really making some progress i'm really moving forward so i want to trick my psychology that i believe that i can really make some progress on this journey and the next thing the next question you might have is what i exactly did with the video okay you chose the video now and now you're gonna do something with that video and what you're gonna do with the video that you're gonna choose right so for me i set the time like for 20 minutes now then i'm just gonna enjoy this a set of 20 minutes now how would i be my accent and correct my pronunciation in a proper way i dictated everything that was being said in the video and then i repeated after them a lot of times until i sound like similar to the way that they sound especially i was really emphasizing on practicing the linking sound in between the words a lot of sentences a lot of words are going on i can speak it i can say word but if i say in a sentence the chunk i can't really make the sounds too smooth i wanted to speak it so naturally so that i can have a natural conversation and having a natural conversation makes me feel more confident and for that i needed to work on that so to be able to even if it's a simple word and similar sentences still even this hello but the way that i used to say hello was different i was working on pronunciation accent but it doesn't really have to be perfect but still to some extent you want to work on it and then you keep repeating over and over again and then on the journey you can pick up some new words you can pick up some new expressions and also you can absorb some new grammar rules as well that is so interesting and then you can even train your listening skills because sometimes when you turn off the subtitles you can't catch it when you turn on the subtitles you know oh my goodness this is so easy word this is so easy why didn't i why didn't i really understand that because you possibly didn't know exactly how that word was actually pronounced in a sentence if the word was said separately individually you could possibly understand it so easily but if it's said in a sentence in a chunk you might miss that the biggest reason that i found would be if you can't really pronounce the words in a way that a lot of a majority of people pronounce and if you don't just know the proper way that the word is pronounced in a sentence in a chunk that is less likely that you can really understand that word it's less likely that you really can catch that word at a fast pace so pick a video that touches on your interest and the video should be as short as possible and you enjoy that time the moment you sat 20 minutes or 30 minutes and then you just enjoy that moment that is the goal your goal shouldn't be master the video no it shouldn't be like that your joy would be the most important the highest priority here in this journey and the last thing is then you might be doubting how can you even expand your vocabulary if you really stick to one topic because that topic is your interest then how could you even expand the vocabulary that is another thing right so you watch the videos first and then you work on it and then you practice your english speaking skills with the video that is talking about your interests first and then you can move on gradually to another topic that kind of touches on some different things that might not be really in your interest but still you can pick up some new expression because you already have some knowledge you have kind of good command already of english that's it for today's video this video gives you a little bit of ideas about what you can do on the journey of practicing your speaking skills and sometimes i hopefully can really meet you and talk to you guys and i'm gonna make a plan to set a time to actually meet up with each other virtually um so we can share our journey and experiences all together with each other that would be really great and i'll see you in the next video and until then you have to stay healthy i always say this to you um promise me i love you guys and i'll see you really really soon bye

多くの人に聞かれるのだが、昔、スピーキングを上達させるために集中していたとき、リーディングはとても良かった。私は視覚的な人間なので、何かを見る必要があり、何かを学ぶために何かを見る必要があった。と聞かれることがあります。なぜなら、youtubeにはたくさんの動画があり、たくさんの選択肢があるからです。分析マヒがあるため、どの動画を選べば効果的かつ絶大に、英語のスピーキングスキルをレベルアップさせることができるかわからないのです。このような場合、どのような動画が効果的にあなたのスピーキングスキルの練習の旅に
