hey guys welcome back to my channel this
is Terry your favorite host and YouTuber
you might be scratching your heads and
wondering why is Terry speaking English
today well here's the deal does it
really matter no because I'll have
subtitles in both English and Chinese so
you can stop whining about it the truth
is no one cares which language you speak
as long as you can deliver information
and people can comprehend it that's all
it matters now here comes the
interesting part when I was a kid
growing up in a world where mandering
was the main language I found learning
English to be quite challenging but it's
not really about the environment you can
argue that folks who grow up in the
English speaking countries tend to speak
English very well which is not true just
like I don't consider myself very good
at speaking mening either and I've met
plenty of people who grew up in Taiwan
um lived their entire lives in Taiwan
never once setting foot outside and yet
they speak pretty impressive English so
that's when I realized learning a new
language is not really about where you
are physically it's really about where
you want to be where you aspire to be
just like some of my friends who have
been in the US or Canada for so many
years and yet they still struggle with
English and today I'm going to share
some ideas on how you can level up your
English skills particularly the speaking
part which in my opinion might be the
most challenging part to be decent at
now don't get me wrong my English is
just okay like it to me it's just a
language that I somehow need to use it
every day to just get through life and
if I get a pick I would rather speak in
Mandarin for the rest of my life why
because Mandarin with all of its
dialects and variation
is actually a very beautiful language
plus I would argue it's probably 10
times more complex to learn the English
which just makes super cool to speak now
here comes the secret to become better
at speaking English just try to talk to
yourself I remember when I first landed
in Canada my English was barely
understandable like it was so bad
especially after I got into college it
was kind of embarrassing because you
know I was this introverted awkward
Asian guy who couldn't speak English
well and it was quite hard for me to
make any friends so I started to talk to
myself a lot actually because of doing
that it removes the self-consciousness I
could try to express myself without any
filters and practice as if I was
conversing with another person and that
turned out to be working pretty well for
me especially sometimes I would just
record myself when you listen to your
own speaking your own recording you can
quickly identify and rectify the
mistakes and over time you will just
naturally learn and adapt faster because
you're directly in your own feedback
loop I am an introverted person so I I
don't really enjoy talking to people but
it has been working pretty well for me
for many years and I still talk to
myself these days in English actually
because I'm used to it now if the idea
of speaking to yourself feels a bit
strange or if you believe that you could
benefit from realtime guidance and
Corrections then Camp could be the ideal
solution for you and I would like to
thank camp for sponsoring today's video
as many of you might already be aware
cble is an Innovative online platform
dedicated to English learning from my
personal experience using in Camp the
tutors are really spot on they have
caught and helped me correct tiny
details in my speech that I didn't even
notice here you can schedule live video
sessions with some of the finest native
English speaking tutors available now
let me just show you how straightforward
it is to book a oneon-one session with a
tutor and begin practicing your English
speaking right away all right first what
you want to do is go to cy.com and over
here you can see a list of tutors that
you can pick from and what I really like
about Campell is you can select the
category for example I'm an engineer so
I can practice with someone who has you
know engineering background and for
example if you're looking to improve
your tofo skill you can just click on
tofo and then it will filters a list of
tutors based on their background for you
and there's another cool feature I like
to show you is the online tab so over
here you can actually see a list of
tutors who actually online and you can
just click on call and you able to
connect to a tutor right away without
having to wait or schedule for a time
this way you don't really have to
schedule ahead of time and it works
pretty well for people like me with a
very packed calendar and also you can
just filter by the accent if you like
someone with the British accent you can
just click on that and it will show you
all the tutors with the British accent
and of course you can filter by the
lesson level there's another feature
that's pretty cool is that after you're
done with your session you can go to the
history and you can see all your
previous sessions here and you can click
on any one of them and just watch the
playback and review it you can come back
and do this at any given time which is
pretty useful now I have a lesson coming
up so let's join the session so with
some common bu idioms in business MH can
I ask you to to read each of these
sentences and just see how you feel
about the idioms if you're familiar with
all of the idioms or if there are any
that are confusing sure sure we needed
to raise a million dollars invest in the
marketing plan unfortunately we came out
short God it came out short um it means
that you were supposed to raise or you
wanted to raise a million but you did
not and you raised a certain amount
that's below a million something like
that that's correct Jack took a low
paying job at a large firm just to get a
foot in the door the the one thing I
really like about idioms is that it
builds a picture in your mind yep of of
these things so to get a foot through
the door often with business or with
anything else um around us we say you
know there's a door open for this and
perhaps I can get in here or perhaps I
can often they say the door starts
closing when when the opportunity starts
slipping away and you're like okay I
might not be able to do this so to get a
foot in the door it's like you're you're
jamming your foot in there before it
closes so you can just get in and and
deal with the rest later so let's talk
about accents I've got one you probably
got one too I know a lot of people are
working really hard to just try to get
rid of it maybe they're just trying to
pretend to be American or British and
you know thinking that's cool especially
in Asian culture the society often
perpetuates this misleading notion that
being born in America or maybe some
Western countries is associated with a
higher Social social status or maybe a
wealthier family background which is
completely accents are
beautiful you really shouldn't be
envious of other people who speak
English with American accent and call
themselves accent free the monotonic way
of speaking a language is just plain
boring accents are what make a language
rich and vibrant imagine you're living
in a city where everyone is wearing the
same outfit the same hairstyle the same
everything sounds pretty boring doesn't
it I wouldn't want to live in a city
like that I'll probably just move out so
yeah you should be happy that you have
an accent and you're different from a
lot of people in fact you should
probably focus on the correctness and
practicality of speaking English as
opposed to worry about you know your
accent which is probably the least of
your concern and has nothing to do with
whether you speak good English or Not by
the way cem has recently introduced a
new learning format the group classes
the beauty of this group session is that
they provide you with the opportunity to
not only learn for a native tutor but
also interact with fellow students it's
pretty much like studying abroad except
you get to experience it all from the
comfort of your own home personally I
quite like these group lessons because
they take me back to my school days and
what really sets camply aart is the
option to select tutors based on share
interest for example if you're keen on
enhancing your English in a professional
business contacts you can choose a tutor
who specializes in business in my case I
managed to find a tutor from the tech
industry so we had plenty to discuss
which really made learning English so
much more engaging and enjoyable so yeah
if you want to improve English I will
challenge you to speak to yourself spend
maybe like 10 15 minutes a day before
you go to bed record it and listen back
to it and now you have access to tools
like C GPT which can tell you exactly
how to structure your sentence correctly
using common phrases and edms if you're
not sure what to talk to yourself about
uh here's what I would recommend imagine
you own a YouTube channel and I'm sure
there's something in life that you like
to share with other people it can be
anything or as simple as what's
interesting or popping up today talk
about what happened today or talk about
a business idea that you want to share
with your audience and the beauty of
doing this is you don't have to worry
about what people think of you you can
just focus on yourself and express your
ideas and thoughts just be confident and
don't be afraid of making any mistakes
and take your time to really think
through the words and phrases that you
want to use all right that would do for
me and if you find this video helpful
