TRANSCRIPT
Hi there. My name is Emma, and in today's video I am going to help you become a better speaker, especially if you are shy. Okay? So, a lot of people when they learn new languages, they're very embarrassed and they're too shy to speak. This video will help you with good tips and strategies on how to become more confident in your speaking. So let's get started.
Okay, so the first thing I like to tell shy people, so people who are afraid to speak, is: You need to find your strengths. You need to ask yourself: "What am I good at?" Because a lot of the times, shy people, they think: "Oh my goodness, I'm not good at speaking, I'm terrible at English, I'll never learn this language", and they feel really sad. But that's not usually true. Usually shy people are good at many different things, they just don't realize it. So remember: English is not only speaking. Speaking is part of it, but there are other skills, too. Maybe you're a great listener. Okay? Maybe you're good at grammar. Maybe you're not good at all grammar, but you're amazing at the present perfect or the simple past. You know, maybe you're good at reading or writing. So it's good to recognize what you're good at so you don't feel so sad when you're learning English, because you might be good at a lot of different things. So, you can always write down on a piece of paper: "I am able to", you know, listen very well, or: "I am able to do well on my grammar test." Okay? So think about: What are your strengths?
My next tip is probably one of the most important tips. When you're trying to learn a language, especially when you're shy, it's good to make goals and to write them down. Okay? So what do I mean by goals? Well, for example, I have three goals here and I'm going to talk about each of them. Somebody's goal might be: "I will be a better speaker." Or they might say: "I will say two things in class today." Or: "I will ask two people: 'How is your day going?'" So these are all goals, but these goals are not all great goals. What do I mean by that? Well, this first goal: "I will be a better speaker", you will not know if you've become a better speaker or not. This goal, it's too big so I would not use this goal. Okay?
When you make a goal it's good to make something where you have a number in it, and you can tell very easily: Did you do it or didn't you do it? So, for example: "I will say two things in class today", this is a great goal because you know: "Okay, I said two things in class, I met my goal for the day." This will really help you with speaking, especially if you're shy. Maybe you're too shy even to say two things in class, so maybe you can say one thing in class or maybe for the first class you can just listen and try for the next class to say one thing. Okay? Another example of a great goal is: "I will ask two", and again, this can be any number. "I will ask two people: 'How is your day going today?'" So just by making goals, it can really encourage you to speak and practice your English, and you will improve this way because it is important to speak as much as you can. This way, you know, it's not too difficult, it's something you can do. The other key point here is: Write down your goals. I think it's great to have a journal or a diary where you write down your daily goal, and then at the end of the week you can check it off and see: Did I meet this goal? Hopefully you did, and that way you can actually monitor your English progress. So now let's look at some more tips.
Okay, so my next tip is very important, too: Don't compare yourself to extroverts. So, what is an extrovert? It's the opposite of a shy person. So, an extrovert is somebody who everybody pays attention to because they love to talk, they're great in social situations, they're usually with friends or out with people. So, an extrovert is somebody who's not really shy. So, what a lot of shy people do is they compare themselves. They see the extrovert, and they think: "Wow, I wish I was just like that person. That person's speaking is so good. Why can't I speak like that?" It's very common to compare yourself, but it's not a good idea, because number one, it's possible that person is making a lot of mistakes.
Great video, You speak slowly and stay easy for understand.
Ariel Campos yeah
;D

This lesson literally saved my life today with my interview. All those tips came in pretty handy. Thanks a lot, teacher Emma.
Right
My favorite teacher! I love when she says "ok?" in such a sweet way 😍
You don't have an idea on how shy I am, and not only in my english class but I feel these videos are really helpful I wish I could have you as my teacher cause I feel I would learn alot of things with you thank you for making these videos so easy to understand.😊
right for me. I'm shy then I'm very good at reading writing in English but when it comes to talk I lose my tongue. so weird.
it was the same to me , an advice i can give you is try to talk normally like you do with your native language without thinking in grammar or sound perfect and you will see you will end up talking at first it feels a little hard but as you keep talking your brain talk naturally and try to be relax while you´re talking what´s your native language?
Bladimir Rs thank
I speak French
my pleasure, good to know that mine is spanish.
and if you need to practice speaking with somebody we can help each other, i try to meet people that want to practice their english, i mean i have friends to talk but sometimes they're busy or im busy so the most friends we have to talk is much more better.
sure thing
Thanks for the tips. I never felt me like a shy person, but when I started to learn the language (English), I felt nervous and dumb, because I can't say anything (and I love talk a lot). Well, I have to be patience and work hard.
would u like to practice with me i am also shy person
Thank you so much for this video. I am very shy person. I live in Scotland but I don't know many Scottish people. I would like to improve my speaking skill but usually I run away when I have a chance to do it. I wish to meet person like me and start speak with this person without shame. The shy people have a difficult life 😣

Hello, Havieka i'm very shy and i trying to learn english, but i have no practice, maybe we can help each other? you can find me on skype diseqc@ rambler.ru if you want.
I feel this video is so useful for people who are shy because whenever my teacher tells me to read I never read I always tell her I don't like to read or talk either but usually I'm a talkative person in class but whenever my chance comes I don't speak
Thanks Teacher Emma! Your videos are amazing and very helpful.
Daniela Clementino Sou Br kkk
Eae parceiro BR
Those are great tips, id just say that don't make a whole conversation in your mind before actually talking cuz if one line fails the entire conversation will collapse. I think its better to have a naturally flowing convo over planning out everything
GOD BLESS YOU
i love your lessons Emma ! i have learned english for 6 mounths but i realy progress when i moved to europe and started to talk with people.
Thanks. You are the best teacher. I love your videos

Shireen Hussein Seat in the front seats, so you're not gonna see the other students. Try to read loud in your house, record your voice, so you can recognize the sounds you need to improve. Be brave!!! Everybody is nervous at some point! Knowledge gives you confidence!!! I am really shy, but at class I participate a lot giving my opinion of every topic!!!
I love you mam. I am not a shy person but I can't able to speak fluently. now I'm practicing for the best. I have no idea how to improve my skills.
