2. 0:03>> You understand English when you watch
3. 0:04videos, you know hundreds of words, but
4. 0:07when someone talks to you, you freeze.
5. 0:10Your mind goes blank. You translate in
6. 0:12your head, but the words don't come out.
7. 0:14Today, that stops. Welcome to day one of
8. 0:18your 30-day English fluency challenge
9. 0:21here on Speak Up Sessions English
10. 0:23podcast. I'm Masu, and in the next few
11. 0:26minutes, you're going to speak 99 real
12. 0:29English sentences. Not tomorrow, not
13. 0:32next week, today, right now. Are you
14. 0:35ready? Hello, everyone. Welcome back to
15. 0:38Speak Up Sessions English podcast. I'm
16. 0:41Masu, your English teacher and friend,
17. 0:43and I'm so happy you're here today. This
18. 0:46is a very special video because today is
19. 0:49day one of our 30-day English fluency
20. 0:52challenge. For the next 30 days, we're
21. 0:55going to practice real English
22. 0:56conversation together every single day.
23. 0:59And by the end of this challenge, you
24. 1:01will speak English more easily, more
25. 1:04confidently, and more naturally. Today,
26. 1:07you're going to learn and practice 99
27. 1:09sentences. Yes, 99. But don't worry,
28. 1:13we'll do it step-by-step together. And
29. 1:16joining me today is my friend Fizu. Hi,
30. 1:19everyone. Um to be honest, I'm a little
31. 1:22nervous. 99 sentences? That sounds like
32. 1:25a lot. I mean, I want to speak English
33. 1:28well, but sometimes I feel shy.
34. 1:30Sometimes I forget words. Sometimes I
35. 1:33think too much about grammar, and I just
36. 1:36stop talking.
37. 1:37Fizu, that's exactly why we're doing
38. 1:39this challenge. You know what? Almost
39. 1:42every English learner feels the same
40. 1:44way. You're not alone. Fear, shyness,
41. 1:47forgetting words, these are very common
42. 1:50problems. But here's the good news,
43. 1:52speaking English is not about being
44. 1:54perfect. It's about practicing every
45. 1:57day, making mistakes, learning, and
46. 1:59improving little by little. And today we
47. 2:02start that journey together. So, Fizzo,
48. 2:05are you ready? Yes, I'm ready. Let's do
49. 2:07this. Perfect. Okay, everyone, let's
50. 2:10begin day one. Remember, this is not a
51. 2:13boring English class. This is a real
52. 2:16conversation. Listen carefully, repeat
53. 2:18after me, and most importantly, have
54. 2:21fun. Let's go. All right, Fizzo, let's
55. 2:24start with something very simple. I'm
56. 2:26going to ask you a few basic questions,
57. 2:28and you just answer naturally. Don't
58. 2:30think too much. Just speak. Ready? Okay,
59. 2:34I think so. Great. So, Fizzo, how are
60. 2:37you today? I'm I'm good. Thank you.
61. 2:40Perfect. That's a great start. But you
62. 2:42know what? In real English conversation,
63. 2:44we usually say a little bit more. For
64. 2:47example, instead of just I'm good, you
65. 2:50can say, I'm good. Thank you. How are
66. 2:52you? Or I'm doing well. Thanks for
67. 2:54asking. It sounds more natural and
68. 2:56friendly. Let's try again. Fizzo, how
69. 2:59are you today? I'm doing well. Thanks
70. 3:01for asking. How are you? I'm great.
71. 3:03Thank you. See? That sounds so much
72. 3:05better, right? Now, let me ask you
73. 3:07another question. What did you do this
74. 3:09morning? This morning, um I waked up
75. 3:14Wait, no. I woke up at 7:00. Then I uh
76. 3:19eat breakfast. Ah, very close. You said
77. 3:23I eat breakfast, but we need past tense
78. 3:25here. So, we say I ate breakfast. Let's
79. 3:28practice that. Repeat after me. I woke
80. 3:31up at 7:00. I woke up at 7:00. Good.
81. 3:36Then I ate breakfast. Then I ate
82. 3:38breakfast. Excellent. Now, put it
83. 3:41together. What did you do this morning?
84. 3:43I woke up at 7:00, then I ate breakfast.
85. 3:46Perfect. You see, you just spoke two
86. 3:49complete English sentences, and that's
87. 3:51how we improve, step by step. Now, Fizu,
88. 3:55let me ask you, do you like learning
89. 3:57English? Yes, I do. Actually, I like
90. 4:00learning English, but sometimes it's
91. 4:02difficult. I want to speak fluently, but
92. 4:04I make mistakes, and then I feel
93. 4:06embarrassed. Fizu, listen to me.
94. 4:09Everyone makes mistakes. I make
95. 4:11mistakes. Native English speakers make
96. 4:13mistakes. Mistakes are not bad. They
97. 4:15help you learn. In fact, if you're not
98. 4:18making mistakes, you're not practicing
99. 4:19enough. So, never feel embarrassed. Just
100. 4:22keep speaking, okay? Okay. Thank you,
101. 4:25Masu. That makes me feel better. Good.
102. 4:27Now, let's practice more. I'm going to
103. 4:30say some sentences, and I want you to
104. 4:32repeat them. These are sentences you can
105. 4:34use every single day. Ready? Yes, I'm
106. 4:37ready. Okay. Repeat after me. I'm
107. 4:40learning English every day. I'm learning
108. 4:43English every day. I want to speak
109. 4:45fluently. I want to speak fluently. I
110. 4:49practice listening and speaking. I
111. 4:51practice listening and speaking. I'm not
112. 4:54afraid of making mistakes. I'm not
113. 4:56afraid of making mistakes. Beautiful.
114. 4:59You just spoke four powerful sentences,
115. 5:02and guess what? You're already building
116. 5:04confidence. Now, let's go deeper. All
117. 5:07right, Fizu. Now, we're going to have a
118. 5:09longer conversation. I want you to
119. 5:11listen very carefully because we're
120. 5:13going to use many different sentence
121. 5:15patterns. This will help your listening
122. 5:17skills and your speaking skills at the
123. 5:19same time. Are you ready? Yes, let's do
124. 5:22it. Okay. So, Fizu, tell me, why did you
125. 5:25decide to learn English? Well, actually,
126. 5:28I decided to learn English because I
127. 5:30want to travel to different countries. I
128. 5:32want to talk to people from around the
129. 5:33world. Also, I want to watch movies and
130. 5:36understand them without subtitles. And,
131. 5:38you know, English is very important for
132. 5:40my job, too. Wow, those are fantastic
133. 5:43reasons. So, you want to travel, watch
134. 5:46movies, and use English at work. That's
135. 5:48great motivation. Now, let me ask you,
136. 5:51have you ever traveled to an
137. 5:52English-speaking country? No, not yet,
138. 5:55but I really want to. Actually, I want
139. 5:57to visit London someday. I heard it's a
140. 6:00beautiful city. Have you been there?
141. 6:02Yes, I have. I visited London a few
142. 6:05years ago, and it was amazing. The
143. 6:07people were very friendly, the food was
144. 6:09delicious, and there were so many
145. 6:11interesting places to see. You know
146. 6:13what? When you go there, you'll need to
147. 6:15speak English every day, at the airport,
148. 6:18at the hotel, at restaurants,
149. 6:20everywhere. That's why practicing now is
150. 6:22so important. Yes, exactly. That's why
151. 6:25I'm doing this challenge. I want to feel
152. 6:27confident when I speak. Right now, I
153. 6:30understand a lot, but when I try to
154. 6:31speak, I feel nervous. Sometimes I
155. 6:34forget words, or I speak very slowly
156. 6:37because I'm translating in my head from
157. 6:38my language. Fizu, that is so common.
158. 6:42Almost every English learner translates
159. 6:44in their head at first, but here's the
160. 6:46secret. The more you practice speaking,
161. 6:48the less you translate. Your brain
162. 6:50starts to think in English
163. 6:52automatically. It takes time, but it
164. 6:54happens. That's why we're doing this
165. 6:5630-day challenge. By day 30, you're
166. 6:59going to notice a big difference. I
167. 7:01promise. Really? That's exciting. Okay,
168. 7:04so what should I do every day to improve
169. 7:07faster? Great question. Here's what I
170. 7:09recommend. First, listen to English
171. 7:12every day. Podcasts like this one,
172. 7:15YouTube videos, music, anything. Second,
173. 7:18speak out loud every day, even if you're
174. 7:20alone. Talk to yourself in English. It
175. 7:23sounds funny, but it works. Third, don't
176. 7:26worry about grammar mistakes when you
177. 7:27speak. Focus on communication first, and
178. 7:30finally, practice shadowing. That means
179. 7:33you listen to a sentence and repeat it
180. 7:35immediately. We're going to do that
181. 7:37today, too. Okay, I understand. Listen
182. 7:40every day, speak out loud, don't worry
183. 7:43about mistakes, and practice shadowing.
184. 7:46I can do that. Yes, you can. And
185. 7:48remember, Fizo, fluency doesn't mean
186. 7:51speaking perfectly. Fluency means
187. 7:53speaking comfortably and naturally, even
188. 7:55if you make small mistakes. Native
189. 7:58English speakers make mistakes, too. The
190. 8:00important thing is communication. That
191. 8:02makes me feel so much better. Thank you,
192. 8:04Miss Sue. You're very welcome. Okay, now
193. 8:07let's practice some real-life
194. 8:09situations. Now, Fizo, we're going to
195. 8:12practice English in different real-life
196. 8:14situations. These are conversations you
197. 8:16might have every day. I'll be different
198. 8:19people, and you respond naturally. Let's
199. 8:21start with a very common situation,
200. 8:23ordering food at a restaurant. Ready?
201. 8:26Okay, yes. Situation one, at a
202. 8:29restaurant. Good evening. Welcome to our
203. 8:31restaurant. How many people are dining
204. 8:33today? Um, just one. Only me. Great.
205. 8:37Right this way, please. Here's your
206. 8:39table. Can I get you something to drink?
207. 8:42Yes, please. Can I have water? Of
208. 8:44course. And are you ready to order food,
209. 8:46or do you need a few more minutes? I
210. 8:48need a few more minutes, please. No
211. 8:51problem. Take your time. I'll be back in
212. 8:53a moment. Thank you. Perfect, Fizo. You
213. 8:56did great. You were polite, clear, and
214. 8:58natural. Now, let's try another
215. 9:00situation. This time, I'm your friend.
216. 9:03We're meeting for coffee. Let's
217. 9:04practice.
218. 9:06Hey, Fizo. Long time no see. How have
219. 9:08you been? Hi. I've been good, thanks.
220. 9:11How about you? I've been busy with work,
221. 9:13but I'm doing well. So, what have you
222. 9:15been up to lately? Actually, I've been
223. 9:17learning English every day. I'm doing a
224. 9:1930-day challenge right now. Oh, wow.
225. 9:22That's awesome. How's it going so far?
226. 9:24It's going well. At first, I was
227. 9:26nervous, but now I'm starting to feel
228. 9:28more confident. That's great to hear.
229. 9:30Keep it up. Thanks, I will. Excellent,
230. 9:33Fizo. You're using past tense, present
231. 9:36perfect, and natural expressions. You're
232. 9:38already improving. Let's do one more
233. 9:40situation.
234. 9:42Situation three, asking for help.
235. 9:45Now, imagine you're in a new city and
236. 9:47you're lost. You need to ask someone for
237. 9:50directions. I'll be a stranger on the
238. 9:52street. Go ahead. Um excuse me. Yes, how
239. 9:56can I help you? I'm looking for the
240. 9:58train station. Can you help me? Of
241. 10:00course. The train station is very close.
242. 10:03Go straight for two blocks, then turn
243. 10:06left. You'll see it on your right. Okay,
244. 10:08so I go straight, then turn left?
245. 10:11Exactly. You can't miss it. Thank you so
246. 10:13much. You're welcome. Have a great day.
247. 10:16Wonderful, Fizo. You asked politely, you
248. 10:19confirmed the directions, and you said
249. 10:21thank you. Those are perfect
250. 10:23communication skills. Great job. Thank
251. 10:26you, Maso. This is really helpful. I
252. 10:28feel like I can actually use these
253. 10:30sentences in real life. You absolutely
254. 10:32can. That's the whole point. Now, let's
255. 10:35move to the listen and repeat section.
256. 10:38Okay, everyone. This is one of the most
257. 10:40important parts of today's lesson. I'm

301. 12:47repeated 30 sentences. That's amazing.
302. 12:50Keep practicing these every single day.
303. 12:54All right, Fizu. Now, let's learn some
304. 12:56important vocabulary words. These are
305. 12:59words you'll use all the time in
306. 13:01English. Fizu, are you ready? Yes, let's
307. 13:04learn some new words. Great. Let's
308. 13:06start. Word one, practice. The first
309. 13:10word is practice. Practice means to do
310. 13:13something again and again to get better.
311. 13:16For example, I practice English
312. 13:19everyday. Fizu, can you use practice in
313. 13:21a sentence? Um, I practice speaking
314. 13:24English with my friends. Perfect. That's
315. 13:26a great sentence. Word two, improve.
316. 13:30Next word, improve. Improve means to get
317. 13:34better. For example, I want to improve
318. 13:37my English skills. Fizu? I improve my
319. 13:40listening by watching English videos.
320. 13:42Excellent. You're using it correctly.
321. 13:45Word three, confident. Next, confident.
322. 13:49Confident means you believe in yourself.
323. 13:51You're not afraid. For example, I feel
324. 13:54confident when I speak English. How
325. 13:56about you, Fizu? At first, I was not
326. 13:58confident, but now I feel more confident
327. 14:01every day. Beautiful. That's exactly
328. 14:03right. Word four, fluent. Now, fluent.
329. 14:08Fluent means you can speak easily and
330. 14:10smoothly. For example, I want to be
331. 14:13fluent in English. Fizu? I'm not fluent
332. 14:16yet, but I'm working on it. And that's
333. 14:18the perfect mindset. Word five, mistake.
334. 14:22Next word, mistake. A mistake is an
335. 14:25error. Everyone makes mistakes. It's
336. 14:28normal. For example, don't be afraid of
337. 14:31making mistakes. Fizu? I make mistakes
338. 14:34sometimes, but I learn from them. Yes,
339. 14:36that's the right attitude. Word six,
340. 14:39repeat. The word repeat means to say
341. 14:42something again. For example, can you
342. 14:45repeat that, please? Fizu? I repeat
343. 14:48sentences to improve my pronunciation.
344. 14:50Perfect. Word seven, conversation. Next,
345. 14:55conversation. A conversation is when two
346. 14:58or more people talk to each other. For
347. 15:00example, I like having conversations in
348. 15:03English. Fizu? I want to have more
349. 15:06English conversations with native
350. 15:07speakers. Great sentence. Word eight,
351. 15:11challenge. The word challenge means
352. 15:14something difficult but exciting. For
353. 15:16example, this 30-day challenge will help
354. 15:19me improve. Fizu? This challenge is
355. 15:22difficult, but I'm enjoying it. Awesome.
356. 15:24That's the spirit. Okay, everyone. Now
357. 15:28you know eight very useful English
358. 15:30words. Use them every day.
359. 15:33All right, Fizu. Now it's quiz time. I'm
360. 15:36going to ask you some simple questions
361. 15:38and you try to answer. Don't worry, this
362. 15:41is just for practice. Ready? Okay, I'm
363. 15:43ready. Question one. What do you do
364. 15:47every morning? Every morning, I wake up,
365. 15:50I eat breakfast, and I practice English.
366. 15:52Perfect. Question two. Why are you
367. 15:55learning English? I'm learning English
368. 15:58because I want to travel and talk to
369. 15:59people from different countries.
370. 16:01Excellent. Question three. How do you
371. 16:04feel when you speak English? At first, I
372. 16:07feel nervous, but when I practice, I
373. 16:09feel more confident. Great answer.
374. 16:11Question four. What's your favorite way
375. 16:14to practice English? My favorite way is
376. 16:16to watch English videos and repeat the
377. 16:18sentences. Wonderful. Last question.
378. 16:22What will you do after this video? After
379. 16:25this video, I will practice the
380. 16:26sentences again and speak English every
381. 16:28day. Perfect, Fizu. You answered every
382. 16:31question beautifully. Great job. Thank
383. 16:34you, Masu. Okay, everyone. Before we
384. 16:36finish today's lesson, I want to give
385. 16:38you five powerful tips to help you speak
386. 16:41English easily and confidently. Listen
387. 16:43carefully. These tips will change the
388. 16:46way you learn. Ready? Let's go.
389. 16:49Tip number one. Speak English every
390. 16:51single day, even if it's just for 5
391. 16:53minutes. Talk to yourself, talk to a
392. 16:55friend, or repeat sentences from videos
393. 16:58like this one. Speaking is like
394. 17:00exercise. The more you do it, the
395. 17:02stronger you get. Tip number two. Stop
396. 17:05translating in your head. I know it's
397. 17:07hard at first, but try to think in
398. 17:10English. When you see a dog, don't think
399. 17:12of the word in your language first, just
400. 17:14think dog. It takes practice, but it
401. 17:17will make you much faster. Tip number
402. 17:19three, make mistakes. Yes, you heard me
403. 17:22right. Mistakes are not your enemy, they
404. 17:25are your teacher. Every mistake helps
405. 17:27you learn. So, don't be afraid. Speak,
406. 17:30make mistakes, learn, and improve. Tip
407. 17:33number four, listen to English every
408. 17:35day, but listen actively. That means
409. 17:38don't just hear the words, pay
410. 17:40attention. Try to repeat them. Try to
411. 17:42understand the meaning. Use podcasts,
412. 17:45videos, music, anything you enjoy.
413. 17:48Tip number five, be patient with
414. 17:50yourself. Fluency doesn't happen in one
415. 17:53day or one week. It takes time, but if
416. 17:55you practice every single day, even a
417. 17:58little bit, you will improve.
418. 18:00Consistency is the key. Trust the
419. 18:03process. Those are my five tips for you.
420. 18:06Write them down, practice them, and most
421. 18:08importantly, believe in yourself.
422. 18:10All right, Fezoo, we're almost at the
423. 18:12end of day one. How do you feel?
424. 18:14Honestly, Masu, I feel great. At the
425. 18:17beginning, I was nervous, but now I feel
426. 18:19more confident. I learned so many useful
427. 18:21sentences, I practiced real-life
428. 18:23conversations, and I understand that
429. 18:25making mistakes is okay. I'm really
430. 18:27excited for day two. That's exactly what
431. 18:30I wanted to hear. You did an amazing job
432. 18:33today, Fezoo, and everyone watching, you
433. 18:35did an amazing job, too. Let's quickly

438. 18:47restaurants, meeting friends, and asking

440. 18:52listen and repeat method to build your
441. 18:54speaking muscles. Fourth, we learned
442. 18:56eight important vocabulary words. Fifth,
443. 18:58we did a fun quiz to test your
444. 19:00understanding. And finally, I gave you
445. 19:02five powerful tips to improve your
446. 19:05English every day.
