26 分钟Hello my friends and welcome back to Everyday English Lab.
I'm Mark and I am so glad you've joined me for this episode.
I have a very important question for you today.
Can you understand English when you listen or read,
but when it's time to speak, you feel your mind goes blank and you cannot speak?
If this sounds like you, then you are not alone.
This is a very common problem for language learners.
They can watch movies with subtitles, they can follow podcasts, they can read books,
but they still feel very nervous and unable to speak.
Why does this happen?
And more importantly, what can you do about it?
In this episode, I will talk about this exact problem
and I will give you six simple tips to help you start speaking more and better.
As always in this podcast, I will speak slowly and clearly so you can use it for shadowing.
You can listen, repeat and try to match my words, my rhythm and my voice.
My main goal is to help you practice both listening and speaking at the same time.
Let's begin.
The difference between understanding and speaking brain.
Let me tell you something very important right away.
Understanding English and speaking English are not the same thing.
