01:13
episode all right Leo let's start with
01:17
the big question why do people feel so
01:19
scared to speak English in
01:22
public great question Lisa the biggest
01:24
reason is usually fear of making
01:27
mistakes people worry they'll say the
01:29
wrong word or use the wrong grammar and
01:31
others will judge them that's so true I
01:34
remember when I first started learning a
01:38
new language I'd get so nervous about
01:39
saying something wrong it felt like
01:41
everyone was watching me exactly but
01:43
here's the thing most people are not
01:47
judging you in fact they're often
01:49
impressed that you're speaking a second
01:51
language that's a great point so what's
01:54
the first step to overcoming this fear
01:57
the first step is to change your mindset
02:00
instead of focusing on being perfect
02:02
focus on being understood it's okay to
02:04
make mistakes they're part of learning I
02:07
love that so instead of worrying about
02:10
grammar just try to communicate your
02:13
idea for example if you're at a cafe and
02:15
want a coffee you can simply say I want
02:18
coffee it's short and clear and people
02:21
will understand exactly and over time as
02:23
you practice your sentences will
02:28
naturally
02:30
improve what about people who feel
02:31
nervous speaking in front of a group
02:33
that's a big one for public speaking
02:36
practice is key start small practice in
02:38
front of a mirror record yourself
02:41
speaking or even talk to a pet or a
02:43
plant oh I love that idea talking to a
02:46
pet is great because they won't judge
02:49
you but you still get to practice and
02:50
once you feel a bit more confident try
02:53
speaking in front of a close friend or
02:55
family member they can give you feedback
02:57
and a supportive way what about when
02:59
someone has to speak in a formal setting
03:02
like a presentation for formal
03:03
situations prepare and rehearse write
03:06
down what you want to say break it into
03:09
small parts and practice those parts
03:11
until they feel natural that's so
03:13
helpful I found that practicing out loud
03:16
helps me remember things better and feel
03:19
less nervous absolutely and don't forget
03:21
to use tools like notes or slides to
03:24
guide you it's perfectly okay to have a
03:27
little help let's talk about confidence
03:29
how can people build confidence when
03:32
speaking English in public one great way
03:34
is to start with simple conversations
03:37
for example say hello to a cashier ask a
03:40
stranger for directions or join a
03:43
language exchange group that's so
03:45
practical small conversations are less
03:48
intimidating but they help you build
03:51
confidence step by step exactly and
03:53
here's another tip celebrate your
03:57
progress
03:59
every time you speak English in public
04:00
even if it's just one sentence that's a
04:02
win I agree progress not Perfection is
04:05
what
04:09
matters another helpful technique is to
04:10
focus on your breathing when you feel
04:12
nervous take a deep breath before
04:14
speaking it helps calm your nerves and
04:16
gives you a moment to
04:19
think that's such a simple yet effective
04:20
tip I've noticed that when I'm nervous I
04:24
tend to rush my words taking a deep
04:27
breath helps me slow down exactly and
04:30
speaking of slowing down it's also okay
04:34
to pause while you're talking if you
04:36
need a moment to think of the right word
04:39
just pause it's natural and no one will
04:41
think less of you that's so true I think
04:44
we often feel like we need to fill every
04:48
second with words but pauses can
04:49
actually make your speech more impactful
04:51
absolutely another great way to overcome
04:55
fear is to immerse yourself in English
04:57
watch movies listen to podcasts or join
05:00
online communities where you can
05:03
practice I found that Listening to
05:05
English podcasts really helps with
05:08
understanding different accents and
05:10
learning natural phrases that's a great
05:11
example Lisa immersion helps you get
05:14
comfortable with the language and the
05:17
more familiar it feels the less
05:19
intimidating it becomes to speak let's
05:21
talk about how to handle mistakes what
05:24
should someone do if they make a mistake
05:27
while speaking
05:28
the best thing to do is to laugh it off
05:30
or correct yourself and move on mistakes
05:32
are a natural part of learning and most
05:35
people won't even notice them that's so
05:37
important I've made plenty of mistakes
05:40
while speaking and I've realized that
05:42
most people don't mind they're usually
05:44
encouraging and
05:46
supportive exactly and remember your
05:48
goal is communication not Perfection as
05:51
long as your message is clear you're
05:54
succeeding these tips are so practical

大家好,欢迎回到简单英语播客,我们一起学习成长。
我是你的主持人Lisa,今天我们要讨论一个很多人都很困扰的话题——
在公开场合讲英语的恐惧。
嗨,Lisa,这真是个重要的话题,我知道包括我自己在内,
很多人都曾经有过这种恐惧。
这完全正常,但只要方法正确,你是可以克服的。
没错,Leo,无论是做演讲、
点餐,还是跟陌生人聊天,
在公共场合讲英语常常让人感到害怕,
但重要的是,这种情况可以改变。
完全正确,今天我们会分享实用技巧、贴近生活的例子,
还有一个有趣的小知识,帮助你在公共场合讲英语时更有自信。
如果你曾经紧张或者担心犯错,
请继续收听,听完本集,你会有应对恐惧的工具。
就像往常一样,别忘了看看评论区里的免费PDF文件,
里面有完整的文本和词汇。
[音乐]
好,Leo,我们先从一个大问题开始:
为什么人们在公共场合讲英语会感到害怕?
好问题,Lisa,最大的原因通常是害怕犯错,
人们担心自己会说错单词或语法错误,
别人会批评他们。
这点太对了,我记得刚开始学一门新语言时,
我特别紧张,害怕说错话,好像大家都在看着我一样。
完全一样,不过事实上,大多数人并不会批评你,
他们往往会对你能说第二语言感到佩服。
说得好,那么克服这种恐惧的第一步是什么呢?
第一步是转换心态,不要追求完美,
而要专注于让别人理解你。
犯错是学习的一部分,没关系。
我很喜欢这个想法,那就是说,我们不用担心语法,
而是努力表达自己的想法,例如,
如果你在咖啡店想点咖啡,
你可以简单地说“我要咖啡”,
简短明了,人们会理解。
随着练习,你的句子会自然地变好。
那对于那些在一群人面前讲话会紧张的人呢?
这确实是个大问题,关键是练习。
从小地方开始,在镜子前练习,
录音自己说话,甚至对着宠物或植物讲话。
我喜欢这个主意,跟宠物说话很好,因为它们不会评判你,
但你还能练习。
当你觉得更自信时,试着在好朋友或家人面前说话,
他们可以给你鼓励和反馈。
如果必须在正式场合发言,比如做演讲,
应该提前准备和排练,写下你想说的话,
把内容分成小块,一遍遍练习直到自然流畅。
这真是太有帮助了,我发现大声练习能帮我记忆更牢,也减轻紧张感。
没错,别忘了使用笔记或幻灯片作为辅助,
有点帮助是完全可以的。
说到自信,怎样才能在公共场合讲英语时建立自信?
一个好方法是开始简单的对话,
比如跟收银员打招呼,问陌生人路,或参加语言交流小组。
这些小对话不会让人觉得害怕,但能一步步建立自信。
没错,还有一个建议是庆祝你的进步,
每次在公共场合用英语说话,哪怕只有一句话,
都是进步,我同意,进步比完美重要。
另一个好技巧是紧张时注意呼吸,
说话前深呼吸,能帮你放松,给你时间思考。
这建议既简单又有效,我发现紧张时我会说得很快,
深呼吸能帮我放慢速度。
对,说慢一点也没关系,
说话时如果需要想词,可以停顿一下,
这是很自然的,没人会因此看低你。
确实,我们常觉得要不停说话,
但停顿其实能让你的表达更有力量。
还有一种克服恐惧的方法是沉浸式学习,
比如看电影,听播客,加入线上社群练习。
我觉得听英语播客对理解不同口音和学自然表达很有帮助,
这就是沉浸,它让你对语言更熟悉,
感觉越熟悉,越不害怕讲话。
那讲到犯错该怎么办呢?
犯错时最好能笑笑或者自己纠正,然后继续说,
犯错是学习的一部分,大多数人不会注意到。
这点我深有体会,我说话时犯过很多错,
但我发现大多数人很鼓励也很支持。
没错,记住你的目标是沟通,不是完美,
只要你的意思表达清楚,就算成功了。
这些建议真实用,Leo,
我相信听众们一定已经更有自信了。
[音乐]
在结束之前,分享一个语言学习的有趣事实吧,
你知道吗,说第二语言其实能提升大脑能力。
没错,研究显示,双语者记忆力更好,
解决问题的能力和多任务处理能力也更强。
所以你不仅提高英语水平,也在锻炼大脑,
就像给大脑做运动,练习越多大脑越强壮。
这真是双赢。
好,今天我们总结一下:
首先,害怕公开讲英语很正常,
但你可以通过专注于沟通而不是完美来克服它。
要从小事做起,常练习,不怕犯错。
记住每次对话都是进步。
如果要在正式场合发言,提前准备排练并用好辅助工具。
不要忘了庆祝自己的进步,
每向前一步都会建立更强的自信。
谢谢你分享这些建议,Leo。
很高兴,Lisa,希望这些方法能帮助听众更自信地讲英语。

大家好,现在是学习今天主题相关重要词汇时间。
第一个词是confidence,意思是对自己能力或品质的信心。
例如,常说英语帮她建立了语言自信。
下一个词是mistake,指错误的行为或决定。
例如,犯错是学习新语言的自然部分。
下一个词是practice,表示为了提高而经常做某事。
例如,他每天通过和同事聊天练习说英语。
再来是communication,指人与人之间信息或想法的交流。
例如,说英语的目的是有效沟通,而不是追求完美。
最后一个词是intimidating,意思是由于挑战性大或压力大而令人紧张害怕。
例如,刚开始在很多人面前讲话会觉得害怕,
但练习多了就会变容易。
