I'm Vanessa, from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

我是Vanessa，來自SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com。

Do I speak slowly?

我說話慢嗎？

Let's talk about it.

我們談談吧

So, I get a lot of e-mails from students telling me, "Vanessa, I'm so glad!"

所以，我收到了很多的電子郵件 從學生告訴我， "凡妮莎，我很高興！"

"I can understand everything you say."

"你說的話我都能聽懂。"

"But then I turn on an English TV show, and I can't understand anything?"

"可是我打開英語電視節目，卻什麼都聽不懂？"

"Does this mean that you're speaking slowly?"

"這是不是意味著你說話很慢？"

So, I wanted to talk about this today because it's a great question.

所以，我今天想談談這個問題，因為這是一個很好的問題。

I want to make sure that you know exactly the truth, and find out what's the next step.

我想確保你確切地知道真相，並找出下一步的行動。

First of all, when I'm explaining something, like today, in these short videos, I want to make sure that you can understand everything.

首先，當我在解釋一些東西的時候，比如今天，在這些短視頻中，我想確保你能理解一切。

So my pronunciation isn't unnatural.

所以我的發音並不不自然。

I'm.

我是...

Not.

沒有

Talking.

Like.

This.

Very.

For.

為：

Children.

兒童：

I'm not talking like that, but I am talking clearly, and a little bit reduced.

我說的不是這樣，而是說的很清楚，有點縮水。

A little bit slower because I want to make sure that you can understand everything.

慢一點，因為我想確保你能理解一切。

And I'm also talking to a camera.

而且我還在對著攝影機說話。

I know that you are watching, but on my side, I see a camera, so it's a little bit difficult to have a natural conversation when someone's not there.

我知道你在看，但是在我這邊，我看到了一個攝像頭，所以當有人不在的時候，要想自然的對話，有點困難。

So, the reason why I wanted to tell you this is because I have a lot of videos on my YouTube channel with other English-speakers.

所以，我之所以想告訴你這些，是因為我在我的YouTube頻道上有很多和其他英語人的視頻。

There's videos with people through Skype.

有通過Skype與人視頻。

There's videos with people in my house, around my city... and I think this is a really good way to take your English listening to the next level.

我家、我所在的城市周邊都有視頻......我覺得這是一個非常好的方法，可以讓你的英語聽力更上一層樓。

Start with these videos, more slower explanations, and then watch videos with my voice ... you already understand my voice ... plus one other person.

先從這些視頻開始，比較慢的講解，然後用我的聲音看視頻......你已經聽懂我的聲音了......再加上一個人。

I'll make sure that in the description and at the end of this video, I link to some of those videos so that you can check them out.

我會確保在描述中和在這個視頻的結尾，我鏈接到一些這些視頻，這樣你就可以檢查出來。

And then the next step is to watch a TV show, or another YouTube video with someone who's not me, Someone who you don't completely understand already.

然後下一步就是看電視劇，或者另一個YouTube視頻，和一個不是我的人，一個你還沒有完全理解的人一起看。

I think those are good steps, starting with these explanation videos, then watching a conversation video that I've had, and then going to someone else.

我覺得這些步驟很好，先從這些講解視頻開始，然後看一個我的對話視頻，再去找別人。

That way you can test your skills and grow them step-by-step.

這樣你就可以檢驗自己的技能，並一步步成長。

Because my goal is to prepare you for the real world, kind of like a parent who's raising a child and the goal is to send them out as an adult and prepare them for the real world, my goal for you is so that you can understand anyone, and really communicate in any situation - not just with me.

因為我的目標是讓你為真實的世界做準備，有點像父母養育孩子，目標是把孩子送出去，讓他們成年後為真實的世界做準備，我對你的目標是讓你能理解任何人，在任何情況下都能真正的溝通--不僅僅是和我溝通。

I think that this three-step plan, start with these basic videos, then go to conversation videos with me, and then go to conversations with other people who have a completely different style of speaking ... that's gonna really help you.

我覺得這個三步走的計劃，先從這些基礎視頻開始，然後去看我的對話視頻，再去和其他說話風格完全不同的人對話......這才是真正的幫助你。

And this is something that I integrate into the course "The Fearless Fluency Club."

而這也是我融入到 "無畏流暢俱樂部 "課程中的。

Each month, we have a conversation with me and another English-speaker, sometimes two other speakers.

每個月，我們都會與我和另一個英語國家的人進行對話，有時會有兩個其他發言者。

And that way, you can hear how this natural conversation sounds.

而這樣一來，你就可以聽到這種自然對話的聲音了。

It's usually pretty fast, but you already understand my voice, so it's gonna help you to increase step-by-step.

一般都挺快的，但是你已經聽懂我的聲音了，所以會幫助你一步步提高。

So now, I have a question for you.

所以，現在，我有一個問題要問你。

I want to know, when you study English, do you mainly focus on English learning materials, like this kind of video, or do you mainly focus on English TV shows or movies, some bigger content that's meant for native speakers?

我想知道，你在學習英語的時候，是以英語學習資料為主，比如這種視頻，還是以英語電視節目或者電影為主，一些比較大的內容，是給母語人士看的？

I think it's good to start with more basic content, and then move to those more challenging things, but I want to know for you.

我覺得先從比較基礎的內容開始，然後再去做那些比較有挑戰性的東西，但是我想知道為你。

What do you mainly enjoy as you're studying English?

在學習英語的過程中，你主要喜歡什麼？
