hey guys what's up Stefanie the English
coach here from EnglishFullTime.com

過去形

today I'm here with one of my students
Long who recently joined my course

to 不定詞

connect and communicate and we're going
to talk about his recent success with

his English you know what he was
struggling with before why he joined the

course and how he's doing now so hi Long
how are you I'm good hi Stefanie so

before we begin could you just tell
everyone a little bit about yourself

where you're from where you live how
long you've been there that kind of

thing okay sure
hello everyone my name is Long Nguyen I'm

from Vietnam originally but I've been in
the States for about 20 years and I'm

currently working at University of
Houston in IT field and outside of my 9 to 5

jobs I also have started building a
business and have a business partner who

is a brilliant in market and you know
in digital marketing she's really great

with communication and I let her handle
all the communication with clients and

dealing with them but she said keep
telling me that hey you need to work on

your communication skill because one day
you're gonna do run this business our

company on your own so you need to step
it up and you know improve the skill wow

you have me you know taking all the time
you need to work on your skill yeah so

basically you've been living in the US
for I think you said over 20 years right

or about 20 years yes and I think people
are gonna find that really interesting

because a lot of times they think that
oh if you've been living in the USA for

that long you're not gonna need help
with your English by that time you

should be fluent confident fine etc so
what can you tell people that kind of

think that way and think like you know
oh once you live in the U.S. your

English is gonna be fine and perfect and
you're not gonna have to worry about it

anymore
that's true but it's also based on your

personality you know my personality is
like a kinda shy quiet guy you know you

never like I try to avoid dealing with
people but when you in a different

position when you run on the
you have to deal with clients

constantly you know how to make client
like you and offer you the job or the

business opportunity so I'm in a
different position where I had to put

myself out and to deal with people
issues mm-hmm exactly

okay so let's talk a little bit about
how you found me online first of all do

you remember how you found me was it on
Facebook or YouTube I think I saw a

couple of your videos popping up on my
newsfeed I think I saw one video that

you would interview one of the software
engineering from Brazil yeah Rene from

Ecuador that's a really popular video oh
yeah okay yes and you talked to him and

I can see how confident he is even
though his English is not that great you

know but you can see that he can have a
conversations and and then he said that

within a very short period of time that
he was able to get the confidence to get

in front conference and speak to a 1,000
people mm-hmm like oh my god this is

amazing
you know I'm like okay let me see what

Stefanie had to offer on your mailing
list

okay so that's it I just join your
mailing list and then yeah then I

announced the course and then I guess
we're one of the first students to join

and so yeah that's basically exactly
what happened with Renee and what has

happened with so many students that I
work with because at the end of the day

language skills take a lot of time to
develop but as you've learned you know

confidence shifts they happen in our
mind and they can happen instantly it

really all depends on your perspective
how you see yourself how you see those

around you so thanks for sharing all of
that and what I would love to do now is

just really start talking about the
changes you've been experiencing because

we've done a couple coaching calls
together and it's like the things that

you shared with me completely blew me
away I was just like oh my gosh you did

what so talk to us a little bit about
the changes you've been experiencing in

the last month and a half because you're
still in the middle of this course like

that's the crazy thing you're not
finished you're not close to finished

you're halfway through and yet you've
already been having these amazing

results so tell us a little bit about
what what's been happening sure so when

I first saw your email about connect and
communicate you know and you can be a

little bit introduction about how I can
improve my communication and like that's

it you know you just hit the nail right
then for me because I'm like because I

need to work on my communication skills
mm-hmm I'm pretty sure that I can invest

time and money on this course that
helped me better myself you know

professionally yeah I think you were the
first to jump on that so we talked right

away like as soon as you joined exactly
I'm like hey I need to get it going

because I had so many things coming up
to me so I need to talk to Stefanie as

fast as I can so I can improve my skill
and people to practice with my clients

immediately so that's how I do it so I
think when when I first talked to you I

was kind of really nervous I think and
then you asked me what you nervous when

I was talking to you and I said yes you
know was very nervous talking to a

native speaker mm-hm even though you
live in the US and you speak with native

speakers on a daily basis right
sometimes there's just like this lack of

confidence that we carry around and it's
this huge burden and I know because you

know as you know I learned Spanish and I
dealt with this myself so I'm bringing

all of that experience to really show
you guys how to overcome this and Long

you started working on these things
immediately you started connecting with

people immediately you started
interacting in our private Facebook

group and just sharing progress in your
results so what are some things you've

been able to do now that a month and a
half ago you just weren't able to do

first
I would think changing my mindset like

my way of thinking was all wrong
you know like always doubt myself you

know like not confidence always
worry about okay guys I'm gonna make a

mistake you know people gonna not gonna
value my idea if I make a mistake

constantly worry about myself and then
put negative all the negative talking to

myself instead of like you know hey you
are an expert

on your field you have a lot of idea
to share you are confident just like

everybody you know you are even more to
some people that they don't know what they're

talking about exactly you were really
putting yourself down and your expertise

down and basically letting the people
around you dictate how you feel you know

that day at work rather than owning your
expertise and saying yeah I'm an expert

I know what I'm talking about and I'm
here to share my ideas and change the

world exactly instead of prepare myself
to do that my mind was all worried about

oh my god I'm gonna make me say oh it's
gonna be my turn what I'm gonna say but

I'm gonna say next
okay so what about now like do do you

still deal with that do you still have
them no not not no at all after I talked

to you I turn the table I'm an expert
you know I had more confident now my

mind's clearer because all this worry is
out of the door because I don't need to

worry about all that nonsense
yeah do not just focus on what I know

and what I know it's best and try to
communicate that across to my audience

yeah I just think that is so fascinating
because this is a burden that you've
