- 0:00hello everyone my name is liba and today
- 0:03I want to talk to you about something
- 0:05very close to my heart how to talk in
- 0:10English English changed my life it
- 0:13opened doors made me new friends and
- 0:17helped me dream bigger
- 0:19dreams when I first started learning I
- 0:22was scared I didn't know many words and
- 0:26my accent was different but I never gave
- 0:29up
- 0:30step by step I learned just like a baby
- 0:33learning to
- 0:35walk I fell many times but I got up
- 0:39again I know some of you feel the same
- 0:43maybe you are shy to speak afraid to
- 0:46make mistakes or worried that people
- 0:49will laugh but remember making mistakes
- 0:54is part of learning if we don't try we
- 0:58can never improve
- 1:01talking in English is like learning to
- 1:04swim at first the water seems deep and
- 1:09you may be scared to jump in but once
- 1:12you take that first step you start to
- 1:15feel better the more you practice the
- 1:18more comfortable you
- 1:20become one of the best ways to learn
- 1:23English is by listening when you listen
- 1:26to English your ears get used to the
- 1:30sound you hear how words are pronounced
- 1:33and you learn new phrases without even
- 1:36realizing it it's like listening to
- 1:39music the more you listen the more you
- 1:43understand another way to get better at
- 1:46speaking is by practicing with friends
- 1:49or even by
- 1:51yourself sometimes I talk to myself in
- 1:53English it may feel silly but it helps
- 1:58you can pretend you're having a
- 2:00conversation ask yourself questions and
- 2:03answer them the more you talk the better
- 2:06you get and don't worry if you don't
- 2:09know many words you don't need to know
- 2:12big words to speak well simple words are
- 2:16enough just focus on saying what you
- 2:19want to say even if it's not
- 2:22perfect people will understand and over
- 2:26time you will learn more words when I
- 2:30was learning I used to think what if
- 2:33people laugh at me but then I realized
- 2:36if I don't speak I will never improve so
- 2:40I spoke anyway and guess what most
- 2:44people were kind they didn't laugh they
- 2:48helped me so if you are nervous that's
- 2:52okay it's normal to feel that way but
- 2:56don't let that stop you take a deep
- 2:59breath
- 3:00smile and start
- 3:02talking the more you do it the easier it
- 3:07will
- 3:08become another thing that helped me was
- 3:11reading out
- 3:13loud when you read your brain gets used
- 3:16to seeing and saying the words it's like
- 3:20exercising your muscles the more you do
- 3:23it the stronger you get also don't be
- 3:28afraid to ask for help
- 3:30if you don't know how to say something
- 3:32it's okay to ask someone we all need
- 3:36help sometimes and asking questions is
- 3:39how we
- 3:41learn one last thing I want to say is
- 3:44this believe in
- 3:46yourself if you think I can't do this
- 3:50then it will be hard but if you tell
- 3:54yourself I can learn this you will see
- 3:58progress English is not hard if you take
- 4:01it one step at a time imagine you are
- 4:05climbing a mountain you don't reach the
- 4:08top in one big jump you take one small
- 4:11step then another and another before you
- 4:16know it you've reached the top it's the
- 4:19same with learning to talk in
- 4:22English so I encourage you all to start
- 4:27today speak English as much as you can
- 4:29can don't worry about making mistakes
- 4:33don't worry if it's not perfect just
- 4:37speak in the end learning English is
- 4:40like planting a tree you water it every
- 4:44day and it grows
- 4:46slowly but one day you will see that it
- 4:50has grown tall and strong you will feel
- 4:54proud of yourself for not giving up
- 4:57remember the most important thing is not
- 5:00how fast you learn but that you never
- 5:03stop trying so keep going keep talking
- 5:08and one day you will be able to say I
- 5:12did
- 5:13it I remember the first time I tried to
- 5:16have a full conversation in English my
- 5:20heart was racing my Palms were sweaty
- 5:23and I could feel my voice
- 5:26shaking I was so scared of saying the
- 5:28wrong thing
- 5:30but I did it anyway I spoke and even
- 5:34though I made mistakes I felt proud
- 5:37because I tried you see speaking English
- 5:41is not about being perfect it's about
- 5:44being
- 5:45brave every time you speak you are one
- 5:48step closer to becoming better it's like
- 5:52a muscle if you don't use it it stays
- 5:55weak but the more you speak the stronger
- 5:59your English
- 6:01becomes when I started learning I
- 6:04watched movies and TV shows in English
- 6:08at first I didn't understand much but I
- 6:11kept watching I paid attention to how
- 6:14people talked how they used their hands
- 6:18their faces and their voices it taught
- 6:21me that speaking English is not just
- 6:24about words but also about
- 6:27feelings if you want to connect with
- 6:30people don't be afraid to show your
- 6:32feelings when you talk smile when you're
- 6:35happy frown when you're confused and use
- 6:39your hands to express
- 6:42yourself language is more than words
- 6:46it's the way you communicate your
- 6:48heart sometimes when you're learning you
- 6:52might feel stuck you may think I've been
- 6:56studying for so long but I'm not
- 6:58improving
- 7:00this is
- 7:01normal learning a language is like
- 7:04climbing a hill sometimes you move
- 7:07quickly and sometimes it feels slow but
- 7:11even when it feels slow remember that
- 7:14you are still moving
- 7:16forward don't give up even when it feels
- 7:21hard one thing that helped me was
- 7:24setting small goals I didn't aim to be
- 7:28perfect in one day
- 7:30instead I set small daily
- 7:33goals one day I would focus on learning
- 7:37new words the next day I would focus on
- 7:42pronunciation bit by bit I
- 7:45improved and don't forget to celebrate
- 7:47your
- 7:48progress when you learn a new word or
- 7:51have a conversation in English take a
- 7:54moment to feel proud every little step
- 7:58is an achievement
- 8:00learning English is a journey and every
- 8:04step you take brings you closer to where
- 8:06you want to
- 8:08be I also found that keeping a journal
- 8:11in English helped me a lot every night
- 8:15before bed I would write about my day in
- 8:18simple English it helped me practice
- 8:21thinking in English and over time I
- 8:24notice my sentences getting better you
- 8:27don't need to write a lot even one or
- 8:30two sentences a day can help when you're
- 8:33practicing speaking try to think in
- 8:36English too at first you might translate
- 8:39from your language to English in your
- 8:42head but try to move past that think in
- 8:45English as much as you can it's like
- 8:48learning to dance at first you need to
- 8:52think about each step but with practice
- 8:55it becomes
- 8:57natural another thing that helped me me
- 8:59was finding friends who wanted to
- 9:01practice English with me we would meet
- 9:05maybe for coffee and only speak
- 9:09English at first it was awkward because
- 9:12none of us were very good but soon it
- 9:16became fun we learned together and
- 9:19laughed at our
- 9:21mistakes you can do the same find a
- 9:24friend or a group and practice speaking
- 9:27together you might also feel nervous
- 9:30about speaking to native English
- 9:33speakers I know I did but most people
- 9:36are kind and patient they don't expect
- 9:40you to be perfect they understand that
- 9:43you are learning so don't be afraid to
- 9:45talk to them if you make a mistake they
- 9:49might correct you and that's a good
- 9:52thing every correction is a chance to
- 9:56learn something new there will be days
- 10:00when you feel
- 10:01frustrated there will be times when you
- 10:04feel like giving
- 10:05up but I want you to remember something
- 10:08very
- 10:09important you are stronger than you
- 10:13think you have already taken the first
- 10:16step by wanting to learn that takes
- 10:20courage and here's the beautiful part no
- 10:23matter where you are from no matter what
- 10:26your background is English can connect
- 10:29you to the world it's like a bridge that
- 10:33brings people together when you speak
- 10:36English you can travel meet new people
- 10:39and learn about different cultures it's
- 10:42a key that opens many doors so when you
- 10:47feel like giving up remember why you
- 10:51started think about the opportunities
- 10:54that learning English will bring into
- 10:56your life imagine yourself in the future
- 11:00speaking English confidently making new
- 11:03friends and achieving your dreams hold
- 11:07on to that Vision let it push you
- 11:10forward and always remember to be kind
- 11:13to
- 11:13yourself learning a language is not easy
- 11:17and you are doing an amazing job if you
- 11:20make a mistake don't be hard on yourself
- 11:23instead say I'm learning and I'm getting
- 11:27better every day
- 11:30there will be moments when you surprise
- 11:33yourself you might suddenly understand a
- 11:36conversation or say something without
- 11:39thinking too hard about it these are the
- 11:41moments when you realize how far you've
- 11:44come and those moments will keep coming
- 11:48as long as you keep
- 11:50trying as I stand here today speaking to
- 11:53you in English I want you to know that I
- 11:56was once in your shoes I was scared I
- 12:00made mistakes and I wanted to give up
- 12:03but I
- 12:04didn't and if I can learn to speak
- 12:07English so can
- 12:10you the journey might be long but it's
- 12:14worth every step because with every word
- 12:17you learn with every sentence you say
- 12:20you are building a brighter future for
- 12:23yourself I remember the day when I
- 12:26realized that learning English was not
- 12:28just about understanding words but about
- 12:32connecting with people I was sitting in
- 12:35a park and a tourist came up to me
- 12:37asking for directions in
- 12:40English for the first time I didn't
- 12:42hesitate I spoke with
- 12:45confidence even though my English wasn't
- 12:48perfect the smile on their face when
- 12:51they understood me felt like
- 12:53magic that's when I knew that English is
- 12:57a powerful tool a way to bring people
- 13:00together learning English has taught me
- 13:03more than just a language it's taught me
- 13:07patience resilience and the importance
- 13:10of not giving up each word each sentence
- 13:16is a small
- 13:18victory and each time you speak no
- 13:20matter how small the
- 13:23conversation you are
- 13:26winning one of the things that really
- 13:28helped me was using English in my daily
- 13:31life I didn't wait for a classroom or a
- 13:35special occasion to practice I used
- 13:38English everywhere I would describe what
- 13:41I saw while walking down the street or I
- 13:44would think in English while doing
- 13:46Simple tasks like cooking or cleaning
- 13:50these little moments of practice add up
- 13:52over time I also loved talking to myself
- 13:56in English I would pretend to have
- 13:59conversations with
- 14:01people sometimes I would even act out a
- 14:04scene from a movie or TV show just to
- 14:07practice speaking out
- 14:09loud it might sound funny but it helped
- 14:12me feel more comfortable with the
- 14:14language the more I talked to myself the
- 14:17more natural English felt and here's
- 14:20something I learned that might surprise
- 14:23you it's okay not to know everything you
- 14:27don't need to know every word in the
- 14:29dictionary to speak
- 14:31English sometimes simple words are
- 14:34enough what's important is that you can
- 14:36express your thoughts and feelings even
- 14:40if you don't know the perfect word
- 14:42there's always a way to
- 14:44communicate English like any language is
- 14:48about sharing your heart and mind with
- 14:51others another thing I want to share is
- 14:54how important it is to celebrate every
- 14:57little success
- 14:59I remember the first time I ordered food
- 15:02in English at a restaurant it was a
- 15:04small thing but I felt so so
- 15:08proud celebrate moments like this did
- 15:12you have a conversation in English today
- 15:15that's amazing did you learn a new word
- 15:19that's
- 15:20progress every step you take is a step
- 15:23closer to your goal and when you make a
- 15:26mistake don't be discouraged in fact I
- 15:30want you to celebrate your
- 15:32mistakes why because mistakes are proof
- 15:36that you are trying each mistake is a
- 15:39lesson a chance to learn something
- 15:42new when I made mistakes I used to feel
- 15:46embarrassed but now I see them as
- 15:49opportunities to grow You are not alone
- 15:52in this journey there are millions of
- 15:56people around the world learning English
- 15:58just like you and many of them feel the
- 16:01same way nervous unsure and afraid to
- 16:05make mistakes but remember we are all
- 16:10Learners and learning is a lifelong
- 16:14process even native English speakers
- 16:16learn new things about their language
- 16:19every day if you ever feel stuck or if
- 16:22you feel like you're not improving fast
- 16:25enough I want you to take a deep breath
- 16:28and remind yourself that learning is a
- 16:31journey not a
- 16:33race some days you'll make big leaps and
- 16:36other days you'll take small steps both
- 16:40are important both bring you closer to
- 16:44your
- 16:45goal another important thing I want to
- 16:47talk about is
- 16:50confidence confidence doesn't come from
- 16:52being perfect it comes from believing in
- 16:56yourself and being willing to try
- 17:00when you speak English speak with
- 17:03confidence even if you're unsure of your
- 17:06words people will feel your energy and
- 17:09that's what
- 17:10matters confidence is something you
- 17:13build over time and the more you
- 17:16practice the stronger it
- 17:19becomes don't be afraid to practice with
- 17:22native speakers even if you think your
- 17:24English isn't good enough most people
- 17:27are kind and happy to help in fact many
- 17:32native speakers admire people who are
- 17:35learning a new language because they
- 17:37know how challenging it can be when I
- 17:40spoke to native speakers I was nervous
- 17:43at first but I quickly learned that they
- 17:45appreciated my effort and many even
- 17:48helped me
- 17:50improve also try to surround yourself
- 17:53with English as much as possible listen
