Hi there. My name is Emma, and in todays 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, theyre very embarrassed and theyre too shy to speak. This video will help you with good tips and strategies on how to become more confident in your speaking. So lets 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, Im not good at speaking, Im terrible at English, Ill never learn this language", and they feel really sad. But thats not usually true. Usually shy people are good at many different things, they just dont realize it. So remember: English is not only speaking. Speaking is part of it, but there are other skills, too. Maybe youre a great listener. Okay? Maybe youre good at grammar. Maybe youre not good at all grammar, but youre amazing at the present perfect or the simple past. You know, maybe youre good at reading or writing. So its good to recognize what youre good at so you dont feel so sad when youre 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 youre trying to learn a language, especially when youre shy, its 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 Im going to talk about each of them. Somebodys 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 youve become a better speaker or not. This goal, its too big so I would not use this goal. Okay?
When you make a goal its good to make something where you have a number in it, and you can tell very easily: Did you do it or didnt 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 youre shy. Maybe youre 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, its not too difficult, its something you can do. The other key point here is: Write down your goals. I think its 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 lets look at some more tips.
Okay, so my next tip is very important, too: Dont compare yourself to extroverts. So, what is an extrovert? Its the opposite of a shy person. So, an extrovert is somebody who everybody pays attention to because they love to talk, theyre great in social situations, theyre usually with friends or out with people. So, an extrovert is somebody whos 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 persons speaking is so good. Why cant I speak like that?" Its very common to compare yourself, but its not a good idea, because number one, its possible that person is making a lot of mistakes.
