Is it possible to become a fluent
00:00
English speaker with no one to practice
00:03
speaking with? I'm going to say yes. In
00:05
fact, it is easy if you use the three
00:08
tips from today's lesson. If you're new
00:11
here, hi, I'm Vanessa from
00:14
speakenglishwithvanessa.com
00:16
and I have been teaching real life
00:19
English here on my YouTube channel for
00:20
over the past 10 years to now more than
00:23
7 million of you. Thank you so much for
00:26
learning English with me. And like
00:30
always, I have created a free PDF
00:32
worksheet, but I'm not going to tell you
00:35
about today's special bonus inside this
00:37
worksheet until a few minutes later.
00:40
This is a surprise, but if you'd like to
00:42
get today's free worksheet that includes
00:45
everything you're about to learn today,
00:47
all you need to do is click on the link
00:49
in the description, enter your name and
00:51
email address, and voila, it will land
00:53
in your email inbox. Before we get to
00:55
tip number one, I have some bad news. Do
00:58
you need to use English for work? If you
01:01
need to use English in a professional
01:05
situation, this is the number one most
01:07
stressful situation for using English.
01:11
You need to be professional, you need to
01:14
represent yourself and your company
01:17
well. You cannot start growing your
01:19
confidence in English by speaking
01:22
English in the workplace. You need to
01:25
move to less stressful situations. So,
01:26
let's imagine you're walking around New
01:30
York City and you're lost. You need to
01:32
ask for directions. So, you confidently
01:34
ask for directions, but when they reply,
01:37
you have no clue what they're saying
01:40
because it's true, native English
01:42
speakers speak very quickly. Well, this
01:44
level of speaking with native English
01:47
speakers is also stressful. So, maybe
01:49
you need to move to a less stressful
01:53
situation, which could include speaking
01:55
with other English learners. A lot of my
01:58
students have found great success
02:00
speaking with each other because who
02:02
knows how you feel better than other
02:05
English learners. They know that it is
02:07
stressful, that you can feel nervous,
02:10
that maybe you won't express yourself
02:12
perfectly because they also know what
02:14
it's like to learn English.
02:16
But what if you have no other English
02:18
learners to speak with? You don't have
02:20
English learners to speak with, you're
02:23
not ready to speak with native speakers
02:24
yet, and in the workplace, forget about
02:26
it. Well, we need to move to the
02:29
foundational level of growing your
02:31
confidence speaking in English, and that
02:34
is speaking alone. When you grow your
02:36
confidence speaking alone, you can move
02:40
to the other levels and you will be able
02:43
to speak without stress, and in fact,
02:45
you will speak fearlessly and
02:48
confidently. So, let me share with you
02:50
my top three tips to help you become a
02:53
fluent English speaker all alone, all by
02:55
yourself, and also introduce you to this
02:59
beautiful location where I am here in
03:02
Western North Carolina. Let's go with
03:04
The first tip to help you become a
03:09
fluent English speaker alone is to
03:11
practice speaking with common
03:14
conversation topics. Let me give you an
03:17
What do you usually do in the morning?
03:20
Well, every morning I like to make
03:24
myself a hot cup of black tea with some
03:26
milk in it. And then I like to go
03:30
outside and drink at least a few sips
03:33
outside, even if I don't have the time
03:37
to drink my whole cup of tea outside. I
03:40
like to get some fresh air and just
03:43
enjoy a few moments of peace.
03:46
What did you do last weekend? Well, last
03:50
weekend was really special because my
03:53
husband and I had the whole weekend
03:57
without the children. My in-laws took
03:59
the children for the whole weekend, so
04:02
we went to one of our favorite places,
04:05
which is Linville Gorge. It has
04:08
beautiful views, lots of great hikes.
04:11
You can even swim in the river, and it's
04:14
a place that we love to go when we're
04:17
without the kids because it feels a
04:20
little bit scary to go there with kids.
04:21
There's too many cliffs, but to go there
04:25
as adults, it is perfect. I love the
04:27
view, and we got to eat our lunch with a
04:30
beautiful view. It was a great weekend,
04:35
and I hope to go back soon.
04:38
Have you ever done something scary? I
04:40
have. I'm not a fan of heights, so
04:43
usually I don't get close to the edge of
04:46
the cliff, but at this hike, we hiked to
04:48
the top of Hawksbill, which is that
04:52
little rocky point, and I decided to get
04:55
close to get the best view possible. It
04:59
was pretty scary. Do you want to see
05:01
exactly where I was? So, this is
05:04
Linville Gorge, and here I'm going to
05:06
zoom in on Hawksbill. You're going to be
05:09
able to see a little tiny point of a
05:12
rock sticking out. That's where I was
05:16
standing. Can you believe it?
05:19
What do you like to do when it's hot in
05:25
the summer? Well, I love to cool off in
05:27
the water. Here we are in the Linville
05:31
River at the bottom of Linville Gorge,
05:34
and after a hot hike, we ended up at the
05:36
river, and it felt so good. There's
05:39
nothing better than diving in a swimming
05:43
pool or a creek or a river and just
05:46
enjoying feeling cool after a really hot
05:49
To help you with this first tip, I have
05:55
included a special bonus in today's free
05:57
PDF worksheets. I have included 25
06:01
common conversation questions. Plus, I
06:04
have added some sample answers so that
06:07
you can know some common grammar,
06:10
sentence structure, verb tenses, and
06:13
vocabulary that you can use to answer
06:15
common conversation questions. When you
06:18
practice these yourself alone, you will
06:20
be much more confident and ready to
06:23
speak when you have conversations out in
06:25
the real world. So, how can you get this
06:27
free PDF worksheet plus the bonus 25
06:30
common questions and answers? All you
06:34
need to do is click on the link in the
06:36
description, enter your name and email
06:38
address, and voila, this PDF worksheet
06:40
will land in your email inbox. It is my
06:43
The second way that you can become a
06:47
fluent English speaker all by yourself
06:49
is to learn with my speak with me series
06:52
here on YouTube. I have created a
06:56
playlist for you with over 5 hours of
06:58
speaking lessons. These videos have
07:02
gotten millions of views all together
07:04
and I know that you will love them so
07:06
that you can go from feeling fearful or
07:08
nervous or hesitant to speak English to
07:11
feeling more confident and sure of
07:14
yourself because that's the goal. So, I
07:16
have put a link to this 5-hour speaking
07:18
playlist in the description of this
07:21
video and I've put it in the free PDF
07:23
worksheet so that you can easily find it
07:25
wherever you want, whenever you want.
07:27
What are you waiting for?
07:29
In each of the videos, you'll have the
07:31
chance to learn some key vocabulary
07:34
around different common conversation
07:37
topics, and then you'll have the chance
07:40
to practice speaking with me in a sample
07:42
conversation. This is a great way to
07:45
build the foundation of confidence and
07:47
vocabulary that you need so that you can
07:50
actually communicate and have great
07:53
conversations about a variety of topics.
07:55
The most important thing to do while
07:58
you're watching those speak with me
08:00
videos is to be active. When I ask you
08:02
to speak and repeat with me, make sure
08:06
that you do it. Don't be passive and
08:09
just listen. You need to practice your
08:11
speaking skills and hear your own voice.
08:13
You'll be able to practice talking about
08:17
a variety of topics like your weekend
08:19
plans such as visiting this blueberry
08:22
farm, your vacation, restaurants,
08:24
movies, so that you can grow your
08:27
fluency in a variety of topics.
08:29
Mhm, for our third tip to help you
08:35
become a fluent English speaker all by
08:38
yourself, we're going to need some
08:40
internet. So, let's go back to the
08:42
Back due to popular demand is the 30-day
08:45
speaking challenge. In my opinion, the
08:49
best way to find out about this
08:52
challenge is to hear it directly from my
08:54
previous students. My student Kong said,
08:56
"Thanks to this challenge, speaking
08:59
English no longer feels scary to me."
09:01
Student Gregor said, "I feel more
09:03
comfortable with speaking." Student
09:06
Christoph said, "The challenge
09:09
significantly boosted my confidence and
09:10
made speaking English feel easier and
09:13
more enjoyable." Student Judy said, "I
09:15
spent less time worrying about making
09:18
mistakes and more time focusing on
09:21
communicating my ideas. Over time,
09:23
speaking English started to feel more
09:26
natural instead of stressful." And my
09:28
student Eshan said, "By non-stop
09:31
speaking with Vanessa AI, I'm not afraid
09:34
of talking with others in English. The
09:37
speaking challenge sounds pretty great,
09:40
right? But, what is this Vanessa AI that
09:42
Yuxuan said helped him to stop being
09:45
afraid to speak in English? Let me tell
09:47
you. Vanessa AI is only the best way to
09:50
help you become a fluent English
09:53
speaker, even if you have no one else to
09:55
speak with, you can become fluent alone.
09:58
I've partnered with some of the world's
10:00
language learning experts to help create
10:03
the Speak with Vanessa AI app, where you
10:06
can have unlimited speaking practice
10:09
with my clone who has been trained on my
10:12
voice and my teaching style, so that you
10:14
can speak without embarrassment and
10:17
without any judgment. When you join the
10:19
30-day speaking challenge, you will get
10:22
a mini conversation lesson each day,
10:24
including useful vocabulary that you
10:27
need to know. Plus, drumroll, you will
10:30
get free access to the Vanessa AI app,
10:33
so that you can immediately use what you
10:36
have learned, so that you don't forget
10:39
it. It's like learning with me and then
10:41
having a conversation with me right
10:44
away. Vanessa AI will even correct your
10:46
vocabulary and grammar mistakes.
10:50
Let me tell you, at work, your
10:52
co-workers will never correct your
10:54
mistakes. They will just politely smile
10:56
and nod, and you will never know if you
10:59
actually made a mistake. But, with
11:01
Vanessa AI, she, your teacher, me, will
11:03
correct your grammar and vocabulary
11:07
mistakes, so that when you go out into
11:09
the real world, you can speak with
11:11
confidence because you know that you are
11:13
