I'm Andrea, your "Real Life English" fluency coach.

我是Andrea，您的真人英語流利教練。

And today we have a great lesson for you to help you become more confident when speaking in English.

而今天我們為大家準備了一堂精彩的課程，幫助大家在英語口語時更加自信。

So, we often teach our students what to do to improve speaking English.

所以我們經常會教學生如何提高英語口語。

But today we're taking an alternative method, and we are going to be telling you the seven things not to do when speaking in English.

但今天我們要採取另一種方法上。

So, the first of our seven things not to do is don't be too ashamed to speak.

下面我們就來告訴大家，用英語說話的時候有七件事不能做。

Now, this is really important because the way that you're going to improve is by speaking — and I mean speaking a lot.

所以我們七件事中的第一件事，就是不要不好意思現在說話。

You can only get better with practice, and if you feel too ashamed, so you are embarrassed or you make excuses so that you don't practice speaking in English, you actually won't progress as quickly as you could do.

這真的很重要，因為你要提高的方式是通過講上，我是說，講很多。

Also, if you tell yourself that you can't speak in English, your mind will actually start to believe you, so it really will hinder your progress.

你只有覺得太慚愧，才會在練習上有所提高。

That means that you won't be able to progress further, and you'll start to believe what you are telling yourself.

所以你不好意思，或者你找藉口，所以你不練習英語口語。

So the only way that you will get better is by practicing on what I recommend you to do is start by practicing small wins.

其實你的進步不會像你能做到的那麼快。

Now, by this I mean doing small things that are going to help you to improve your speaking and to build your confidence.

另外，如果你告訴自己，你不會用英語說話，你的頭腦其實會開始相信你。

For example, if you're traveling or you're going to a place where you know they speak English, you could order your coffee in English in a touristic place.

所以真的會阻礙你的進步。

This way it's something very, very small, but you're giving yourself that opportunity to practice your English and to build your confidence at the same time.

這意味著你將無法進一步進步，你會開始相信你告訴自己的東西。

Another great tip: If you don't have anyone to speak to or to practice speaking English with, you can record yourself speaking English.

所以，只有通過練習我建議你從練習小風開始，你才會變得更好。

Now, this is a great way just to build up your confidence of speaking and to practice and you can listen to yourself back as well, so that you can pick up on any errors that you've made.

現在，我的意思是做一些小事，要幫助你提高你的口語上建立你的信心。

And then you can work on those as well.

比如說，如果你要去旅遊，或者你要去一個你知道他們會說英語的地方，你可以在旅遊的地方用英語點咖啡。

Another way you could do this is by talking in the mirror.

這種方式是非常非常小的東西。

It may sound a bit strange or feel a bit funny at first, but it's a great way again just to practice your speaking, so either recording or speaking to yourself in the mirror, giving yourselves those positive affirmations and really building your confidence could do a world of wonders.

但你給自己這個機會，讓自己練習英語，同時建立自己的信心。

-Okay, so our second tip is... -What's up, guys?

又是一個很好的提示。

So, I'm just stopping by to let you know that if you want to get the rest of Andrew's tips of things not to do when speak English, it's really simple.

如果你沒有人說Thio話，或者沒有人陪你練習英語口語，你可以錄下自己說英語的聲音。

Just head over to our second YouTube channel, "Real Life English," where every week we're creating fluency coaching lessons help you take your English skills to the next level.

現在，這只是一個很好的方法，建立你說話的信心和練習上。

So while you're there, be sure that that subscribe button so you don't miss any of our new ones.

你也可以回聽自己的聲音，這樣你就可以撿到你在上犯的錯誤。

And now it's time to go beyond the classroom and live your English, aw yeah.

那麼你也可以在這些方面下功夫。
