Today, I'm going to give you a tip that will help you improve your fluency and confidence when communicating.

今天我要告訴各位一個小技巧，可以改善你在講話時的流暢度和自信心。

But before we begin, if you don't know me, my name is Hadar.

但在開始之前，如果你還不認識我，我的名字是 Hadar。

I'm a non-native speaker of English, and I am here to help you communicate with confidence, with clarity, with flow, with freedom, and with joy.

我是一個非英文母語的講者，我可以幫助你在講話時更自信、更清晰、更流暢、更自由和更歡樂。

And, if you haven't yet, subscribe to my channel, and come say hi on Instagram at hadar.accentsway, where I share with you a lot more about getting to where you want to be.

還有如果你還沒訂閱，快訂閱我的頻道。在 hadar.accentsway 的 Instagram 跟我說聲嗨，我在那裡有分享許多如何成為你想成為的人。

Okay.

很好。

So, today's tip is something that I've been sharing with my community members and my students for years now, but I haven't talked about it here.

所以今天的技巧是我過去幾年只有分享給我的社群成員和學生，我還沒有在這談過這個。

And this is why I want to share it with you, because it's so simple and so incredibly effective.

因為這個技巧簡單又有超有效，所以我想在這裡分享給你。

So, if you struggle with sorting out your thoughts, organizing your thoughts, and delivering your thoughts with flow and precision, which means what you say is actually aligned with what you want to say, with your thought.

如果你覺得用流暢跟準確的方式整理、組織、傳達你的想法，也就是讓你的想法跟說法一致很困難的話，

One of the ways to do that and to get there is to get better and develop the skill of organizing your thoughts and communicating them when there is not so much at stake.

要做到的其中一個方法就是練習組織你的想法並好好發展它們，在非重要時刻多練習說它們。

So, when it's not in a situation that is demanding⏤an important meeting or when you're interviewing for a job.

在一個不是要求極高的情況裡，像是一場重要的會議或你的工作面試。

Because then you might be a bit more nervous or you might be thinking about so many things, and then you can't develop a new skill that requires you to be, you know, open and vulnerable and free.

因為那種情況下，你可能會覺得太緊張，或腦中想很多事情。這樣你就不能好好發展新技巧，讓你能夠開放、坦率和自在的。

And this is why you need to do it when it's not important; you need to do it on a daily basis.

這就是為什麼你必須在不是那麼關鍵的時刻做，你必須在日常時間做。

I've already talked here about the importance of developing healthy habits, right?

我已經說過維持健康習慣的重要了，對吧？

So, creating the habit of organizing your thoughts and delivering it is something that you want to do.

所以有一個組織你想法的習慣，並表達出去是你要做的。

So here is a fantastic way to do that.

有一個很棒的方法可以做到。

Start making daily videos where you discuss a certain topic about life, about your job, about anything that you're interested in, about anything that you'd like to learn more of.

開始每天錄影片，你可以講述關於你的人生、你的工作、你有興趣的特定主題或任何你想要更深入學習的事物都行。

And give yourself one minute to prepare, so don't over-prepare, don't do it in advance, 'cause again, the secret here is to learn how to think fast and express what you're thinking, right?

給你自己一分鐘準備，不要過度準備，也不要預先準備。因為這其中的秘密就是讓你學到如何快速思考並表達你的想法，對吧？

So, preparing well can help you with, you know, delivery and with doing the right research.

所以好的準備能夠幫助你表達想法和做對的研究。

But if you want to get better at thinking fast and speaking what you're thinking, then you need to do that again and again and again, right?

但如果你想要更快速思考跟表達你所想的，那你就必須不斷地、重複地做，對吧？

To be able to improve a certain aspect, you got to do that thing again and again and again.

想要改善某方面的事情，你就要不斷地、重複地去做那件事。

You can't expect yourself to be good at delivering something spontaneously without the experience of doing that a lot.

你不能期待你自己能夠毫無經驗就自然而然地有好的表達能力。

So, as I said, make a daily video where you choose a topic.

就如我所說的，選一個主題來做你的每日影片。

And, you know, if you go online, there are dozens and dozens of resources where you have a list of conversation topics.

如果你上網找，會有非常多資源讓你找到一系列的對話主題。

So you can go to Google and type in "conversation topics" or "different questions" or "controversial questions".

你可以在 Google 上打關鍵字「對話主題」、「個別的議題」或「爭議性議題」 。

And you choose one, you give yourself one minute on the clock to think about it.

然後你選一個，看著時鐘，給你自己一分鐘去想這個主題。

And you can write bullet points or you can organize your thoughts really quickly.

你也可以寫下小標題或是你可以很快地組織好你的想法。

And then you turn the camera on and you start speaking for two minutes without interrupting yourself and without stopping the video.

接著你打開相機，講兩分鐘的話，不能打斷自己或是中斷錄影。

So, here's what's gonna happen: You're gonna start talking and then you're gonna get stuck.

所以這是會發生的：你開始講話後就會卡住。

And then you'd want to stop the video and start again.

你就會想要停止錄影並再重錄一次。

So, no!

不行！

You will have to learn how to come out of a situation where you're stuck.

你在卡住時可以學到如何解決這種情況。

There is this expectation, the video, right?

這裡是你假想的聽眾，那部影片，對吧？

And then you'll have to speak through it anyway.

你無論如何都要說到底。

That's a skill in itself.

這就是技巧的本身。

So, you wanna practice organizing your thoughts, delivering it on video, but also dealing with the stuckness and coming out of it like a queen or a king.

你想要練習組織你的想法，在影片上好好表達它們。但你也得要像個國王或皇后般，優雅地處理卡住的問題。

Okay?

好嗎？

So you do that, you keep going for two minutes, and at the end of the two minutes, that's it.

所以你就照做，你繼續講完兩分鐘。然後兩分鐘就結束了。

You don't redo it; you'll have the next day for that.

你不用重做，你明天可以再繼續做。

You put the phone down and you come back to it the next day, okay?

把手機放下來，明天再錄新的影片，好嗎？

You choose another topic, you think about it, and then you start speaking.

你選其它主題，思考一下，然後再開始講述。

I guarantee that, with time, on your, you know, 7th, 10th, 15th video, you'll start feeling more comfortable speaking.

我保證隨著時間，第 7、第 10、第 15 支影片，你會開始覺得說話越來越自在。

You start recognizing after, you know, the 10th and 15th and 20th video that you are able to think and speak at the same time, that you're able to finish a sentence, that you're able to get stuck and come out of it without, you know, starting over.

在第 10、第 15、第 20 支影片後你會開始明白，你可以同時思考和說話。你可以講完句子，你可以在卡住時想出方法解決，而不是重錄。

Because when we're in real life and when you're in a meeting or a job interview or you're at the store speaking to someone, you can't say, "Okay, wait, let me start over," right?

因為我們要活在現實，當你在一場會議、一場工作面試或在店裡跟人說話時，你不能說「等等，讓我重說一次。」對吧？

You gotta deal with, with those moments where you get stuck.

你要處理那些你會卡住的時刻。

And yes, you know, making a video is uncomfortable, and yes, we don't always love seeing ourselves on video, and we don't always love hearing our voice recorded.

對，錄影片很怪。對，我們不太喜歡一直在影片看到自己，我們也不喜歡聽到自己錄製的聲音。

But that is the only way to improve, okay?

但這是唯一能夠改善的方法了，好嗎？

Getting comfortable with your voice, start loving your voice, recognizing the good things.

對你的聲音有自信，開始喜愛你自己的聲音，承認這些是好事。

And then what I want you to do⏤so it's an option⏤you can either put the phone down and move on with your day or you can watch the video and decide on three things that you'd like to improve for tomorrow.

然後我想要你去做的事，這只是一個選擇。你也可以放下手機去做其它事情，或是你可以在看完影片後找出明天你想要改善的三件事。

And you want to recognize one thing⏤or at least one thing⏤that you did really well.

你也要找出一件事情，或至少一件事，是你做得很好的。

You need to start recognizing the good work that you do.

你要開始找出那些你做得很好的事。

You need to start recognizing what is working and not just what's not working.

你要開始找出該做的事，而不是不該做的事。

That's easy.

這很簡單。

That's easy to do, right?

要做到很簡單，對吧？

What's hard to do is to be able to celebrate what is going well.

困難的是去讚賞做好的事情。

So I want you to give yourself points for improvement, 'cause we're always about improving our performance, but also what is going well for you, okay?

我要你給自己的改善打分數，因為我們總是想改善自己的表現，但也要對你自己是有幫助的，好嗎？

So, are you up for the challenge?

所以你要加入這項挑戰嗎？

Are you ready to improve your fluency and your speech delivery and organizing your thoughts quickly and bridging the gap between your thoughts and what comes out of your mouth?

你準備好改善你的流暢度、表達能力、快速組織想法和縮短你思考和說話之間的差距了嗎？

If the answer is yes, then put "yes" in the comments.

如果你的答案是好，在留言處打「好」。

Okay. That's it.

好，就這樣。

I'm sure you're going to love this the moment you get past the awkward feeling of seeing you on video, if you're not comfortable with videos.

如果你對拍影片感到不自在的話，我很確定當你撐過那段看到自己影片會尷尬的感覺，我很確定你會愛上那個瞬間。
