Don't Give Up! Easy English Conversation to Stay Motivated | Learn English Fast

[00:00:05]Hey friends, welcome to the Masu and Fizu show. You know, I was talking to Fizu this morning before we started recording and he told me something really honest. Fizu, do you want to share what you said?

[00:00:18]>> Um, yeah. I told you that sometimes I feel like my English is not getting better. Like I study every day, but when I try to speak, I still make mistakes.

[00:00:30]Right. And you know what I told him?

[00:00:32]That's exactly how learning works. Every mistake is actually proof that you're trying, that you're practicing, that you're growing. So today's episode is special because we're not just learning English. We're learning how to keep going even when it feels hard. We're learning how to not give up on yourself.

[00:00:54]>> I really need this, Masu. I think a lot of people watching feel the same way.

[00:00:59]>> Absolutely. So, here's what we're doing today. We're going to have real conversations, practice useful English, and I'm going to show you that every single mistake you make is actually a step forward. Fizu is going to make mistakes today on purpose, and we're going to learn from them together. Sound good?

[00:01:20]>> Yes, I'm ready. Let's do this.

[00:01:23]>> Perfect. Let's begin. So, Fizu, let me ask you a question. When you feel like giving up on learning English, what makes you want to stop?

[00:01:33]>> Um, I think because I am study every day, but I still cannot speak perfect.

[00:01:39]>> Okay, good try. But let's fix that sentence a little bit. Instead of I am study every day, we say I study every day. Can you say that?

[00:01:50]>> I study every day.

[00:01:52]>> Perfect. You got it. See, that's what I mean. You just learned something in 2 seconds. Now, let me tell you something important. You said, "I cannot speak perfect." But actually, nobody speaks perfect English. Not even native speakers. We all make mistakes. So, instead of trying to be perfect, let's focus on being confident. What do you think?

[00:02:17]>> That makes me feel better actually. So, I don't need to be perfect.

[00:02:21]>> Not at all. You just need to practice and improve a little bit every single day. That's the secret. You know what?

[00:02:29]Let me ask you another question. What's something in English you really want to be able to do?

[00:02:35]>> I want to can talk with people without nervous.

[00:02:38]>> Great. But let's fix that sentence together. We don't say I want to can. We just say I want to. And instead of without nervous, we say without being nervous or without feeling nervous. So try this. I want to talk with people without feeling nervous.

[00:03:00]>> I want to talk with people without feeling nervous.

[00:03:03]>> Excellent. That's perfect. You see how you just corrected yourself? That's real learning happening right now. And you know what's amazing? By the end of today's episode, you're going to practice exactly that. Talking without feeling nervous because we're going to do real life situations together.

[00:03:24]>> Really? That sounds fun.

[00:03:26]>> It is. And here's the thing, Fizu. A lot of people watching right now probably feel the same way you do. They understand English when they read it or hear it, but when it's time to speak, their mind goes blank. Does that happen to you? Yes, all the time I know the words in my head, but when I want to say them, I I forget.

[00:03:49]>> Right? And that's completely normal.

[00:03:52]Your brain needs practice speaking, not just reading or listening. It's like imagine you want to learn to swim. You can watch videos about swimming. You can read books about swimming, but until you actually get in the water and practice, you won't really learn, right? Oh, that's a good example. So, I need to practice speaking more.

[00:04:15]>> Exactly. And the best part, you don't need to be perfect. You just need to start even if you make mistakes.

[00:04:23]Actually, I want to tell you something.

[00:04:26]Mistakes are good.

[00:04:27]>> Really? Why?

[00:04:29]>> Because every mistake teaches you something. When you say I am study, and I correct you to I study, now you know the right way. And next time you'll remember that mistake helped you learn.

[00:04:43]So don't be afraid of mistakes.

[00:04:45]Celebrate them.

[00:04:46]>> Wow. I never think about it like that.

[00:04:49]>> Exactly. And to everyone watching, if you made a mistake today while speaking English, congratulations. That means you tried. And trying is the most important part. So today we're going to practice real English conversations. and Fizu is going to make some mistakes and we're going to learn from them together. And you know what? By the end of today's episode, I want you to feel excited about speaking English, not scared.

[00:05:18]>> I'm already feeling more confident, Masu.

[00:05:21]>> That's what I love to hear. Okay, let's dive deeper into practicing real conversations. All right, so let's talk about something really practical. Fizu, imagine you're feeling discouraged about your English. Maybe you studied for weeks and you still can't understand a movie without subtitles. What would you say to yourself?

[00:05:43]>> Um, I would say maybe English is too difficult for me.

[00:05:48]>> Okay, I hear you. But let me give you a better way to think about it. Instead of saying English is too difficult for me, try saying English is challenging, but I'm getting better every day. Can you try that?

[00:06:03]>> English is challenging, but I'm getting better every day.

[00:06:07]>> Beautiful. You see the difference? The first sentence makes you feel like you can't do it, but the second sentence reminds you that you're improving, and that's the truth. You are improving.

[00:06:20]Every single day you practice, you get a little bit better, even if you don't see it immediately.

[00:06:26]>> That's true. Actually, I remember last month I couldn't understand you when you spoke fast, but now I can.

[00:06:33]>> Exactly. That's proof you're improving.

[00:06:36]And you know what? Learning English is like climbing a mountain. Sometimes you look up and you see how far you still have to go and it feels impossible. But if you look down, you see how far you've already come. And that should make you proud.

[00:06:52]>> I like that. So I should remember my progress, not just think about what I don't know yet.

[00:06:58]>> Yes, exactly. And let me tell you, everyone who's fluent in English today was once a beginner just like you.

[00:07:06]Everyone made mistakes. Everyone felt frustrated, but they kept going and that's what made them successful. So, um, what should I do when I feel like I want to give up?

[00:07:18]>> Great question. First, remind yourself why you started learning English. Maybe you want to travel or get a better job or talk to people from different countries. Whatever your reason is, remember it. That reason is your motivation. Second, celebrate small wins. Did you understand a sentence today? Celebrate. Did you say something in English without thinking in your head? Celebrate. Third, practice every day, even if it's just for 10 minutes.

[00:07:50]Consistency is more important than perfection.

[00:07:53]>> Okay. So, remember my why. Celebrate small things. And practice every day. I can do that.

[00:08:00]>> Absolutely you can. And you know what else? Find ways to make English fun.

[00:08:06]Listen to music in English. Watch shows you enjoy. Talk to yourself in English while you're cooking or walking. Make it part of your daily life, not just a boring study task.

[00:08:17]>> That's good advice. I think I was making English feel like homework, not like something fun, >> right? And when something feels like homework, it's easy to give up. But when it's fun and part of your life, you want to do it. You know, I have a student who loves cooking. So, she watches cooking shows in English. Now she learns English and learns new recipes. It's perfect for her.

[00:08:41]>> Oh, I like watching football. So, I can watch football in English.

[00:08:46]>> Yes, perfect. Watch football games in English. Listen to football podcasts in English. Read about football in English.

[00:08:54]You'll learn so much vocabulary and you'll enjoy it because you love football.

[00:09:00]>> That's amazing. I'm excited. Now, >> good. That's the energy we need. Now, let me ask you something else. When you make a mistake while speaking English, what do you usually do?

[00:09:12]>> Um, I feel embarrassed and I stop talking.

[00:09:15]>> Okay, so here's what I want you to do instead. When you make a mistake, smile, correct yourself if you can, and keep talking. Don't stop. Because here's the truth. Most people won't even notice your mistake. And if they do notice it, they probably don't care. They just want to communicate with you.

[00:09:36]>> Really? People don't care about my mistakes.

[00:09:39]>> Most people don't think about it. If someone is speaking your native language and they make a small mistake, do you think, "Wow, what a terrible mistake."

[00:09:49]No, you just try to understand what they mean, right?

[00:09:53]>> Yes, that's true. I never judge people when they speak my language with mistakes.

[00:09:58]>> Exactly. So, don't assume other people will judge you. Most people are kind and understanding. And you know what? Making mistakes actually makes you human and valatable. It shows you're trying and people respect that.

[00:10:13]>> Wow, Masu, you're making me feel so much better about learning English.

[00:10:17]>> That's my goal because I want you and everyone watching to enjoy this journey.

[00:10:23]Learning English should make you feel empowered, not stressed. It should open doors for you, not make you feel bad about yourself.

[00:10:32]>> I agree. Okay. So, what are we going to practice today?

[00:10:36]>> We're going to practice two real life situations where you might feel nervous, but we're going to do them together until they feel easy and natural. Sound good?

[00:10:47]>> Yes, let's do it.

[00:10:48]>> Okay, Fizu, here's our first situation.

[00:10:52]Imagine it's your first day at university and you're in a new class.

[00:10:56]You don't know anyone and you want to introduce yourself and make friends.

[00:11:00]This can feel really scary, right? But we're going to practice it together so it feels natural and easy. I'm going to be a friendly classmate, and you're going to introduce yourself and start a conversation. Ready?

[00:11:14]>> Um, okay. I'm a little nervous, but let's try.

[00:11:18]>> Perfect. Remember, it's okay to be nervous. Just try your best. Okay.

[00:11:23]Imagine we're sitting in class and I turn to you and say, "Hi, is this your first day here?"

[00:11:30]>> Yes, this is my first day. I'm very nervous.

[00:11:33]>> Hey, good start. But let's make it sound more natural. Instead of I am very nervous, we can say I'm a little nervous or I'm feeling a bit nervous. Try this.

[00:11:46]Yes, this is my first day. I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:11:50]>> Yes, this is my first day. I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:11:54]>> Perfect. That sounds so natural. So, I would say, don't worry. Everyone feels nervous on the first day. I'm Alex, by the way. What's your name?

[00:12:04]>> Oh, I'm Fizu. Nice to meet you.

[00:12:07]>> Nice to meet you, too, Fizu. So, where are you from?

[00:12:10]>> I'm from uh I come from Japan.

[00:12:14]>> Great. But actually, both are correct.

[00:12:16]You can say I'm from Japan or I come from Japan. both work perfectly. So, I'm from Japan. That's awesome. Is this your first time studying here?

[00:12:27]>> Yes, I'm very excit excited to learn here.

[00:12:32]>> Excellent. You caught yourself. You were about to say excite, but you corrected it to excited. That's perfect. So, you're excited to learn here. That's great. What are you studying?

[00:12:43]>> I study um I'm studying business.

[00:12:46]>> Perfect. I'm studying business. Great.

[00:12:49]Me too. Maybe we can study together sometime.

[00:12:53]>> Yes, that would be nice. Um, can I ask you something?

[00:12:56]>> Of course. Go ahead.

[00:12:58]>> Where is the How do you say the place where we eat?

[00:13:02]>> Ah, the cafeteria. Or you can also say the dining hall or just the cafe. So, you can ask, "Where is the cafeteria?"

[00:13:11]>> Where is the cafeteria?

[00:13:13]>> It's on the second floor near the library. Do you want to go there after class? We can grab lunch together.

[00:13:19]>> Yes, that sounds great. Thank you for being so friendly.

[00:13:23]>> No problem. I remember my first day. I was nervous, too. But everyone here is really nice. You'll make friends quickly.

[00:13:31]>> Thank you. I feel more better now.

[00:13:33]>> Okay, small correction. Instead of more better, we just say better or much better. Try this. I feel much better now.

[00:13:42]>> I feel much better now.

[00:13:44]>> Perfect. Okay, so let's pause here.

[00:13:47]Everyone watching, did you see what just happened? Fizu introduced himself, made a new friend, asked questions, and even made a few small mistakes, but he kept going. And that's exactly what you should do in real life. Don't stop just because you make a mistake. Just correct it and continue talking.

[00:14:06]>> Yeah. And actually, I didn't feel that nervous because you were so friendly and patient.

[00:14:11]>> Exactly. And most people you meet will be like that too. They want to help you, not judge you. So let's remember the key phrases from this situation. This is my first day. I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:14:25]Nice to meet you. I'm from country. I'm studying subject. Can I ask you something? Where is the place? These are simple, useful sentences you can use when meeting new people at school, work, or anywhere. Practice these at home and they'll become automatic.

[00:14:45]>> I love these sentences. They're easy to remember.

[00:14:48]>> Exactly. Okay. Ready for our second situation?

[00:14:52]>> Yes, I'm ready.

[00:14:53]>> All right, Fizu. Here's our second situation. Imagine you want to join a gym or a fitness class because you want to stay healthy and active, but you've never been to this gym before and you need to ask about membership, prices, and classes. This can feel a little intimidating, right? But we're going to practice together. I'm going to be the gym receptionist, and you're going to ask me questions about joining. Sound good?

[00:15:21]>> Okay, let's try.

[00:15:22]>> Perfect. So, imagine you walk into the gym and I'm sitting at the front desk. I look up and say, "Good morning. How can I help you today?"

[00:15:31]>> Good morning. I want to join this gym.

[00:15:34]>> Great. Actually, that's perfect English.

[00:15:36]I want to join this gym. Nice. Okay. So, I would say, "Wonderful. We have several membership options. Are you interested in a monthly membership or a yearly membership?"

[00:15:48]>> Um, what is the difference? Good question. But let's make it sound more natural. Instead of what is the difference, we say, "What's the difference?" Try that.

[00:15:58]>> What's the difference?

[00:16:00]>> Perfect. So, the monthly membership is $50 per month, and you can cancel anytime. The yearly membership is $500 a year, which saves you $100. It's a better deal if you know you'll come regularly.

[00:16:15]>> Oh, I think I think yearly is more good for me. Great choice, but small correction. Instead of more good, we say better. So try I think yearly is better for me.

[00:16:27]>> I think yearly is better for me.

[00:16:29]>> Excellent. Okay. So I would say perfect.

[00:16:33]With the yearly membership, you get access to all our equipment, free classes, and you can bring a friend once a week. Would you like to sign up today?

[00:16:42]>> Yes, but can I ask what classes do you have?

[00:16:46]>> Of course. We have yoga on Mondays and Wednesdays, spinning on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and dance classes on Fridays.

[00:16:54]Which one sounds interesting to you?

[00:16:56]>> I like yoga. What time is it?

[00:16:58]>> Yoga is at 6:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. Does that work for you?

[00:17:03]>> Yes, that's perfect. Um, one more question. Can I How do I say try first before I join?

[00:17:10]>> Ah, you want to ask if you can try a class before you join. You can say, "Can I try a class before I join?" Or, "Do you have a free trial?" Let's try the first one. Can I try a class before I join?

[00:17:24]>> Can I try a class before I join?

[00:17:27]>> Perfect. Yes, absolutely. We offer one free trial class. You can come to yoga this Monday at 6 p.m. and see if you like it. Just bring comfortable clothes and a water bottle.

[00:17:38]>> That's great. Thank you so much for your help.

[00:17:40]>> You're very welcome. I'll see you Monday. Have a great day.

[00:17:44]>> You too. Goodbye.

[00:17:45]>> All right. Excellent job, Fizu. You did so well. Did everyone see how Fizu asked questions, made a few small mistakes, corrected them, and successfully got all the information he needed? That's exactly what real communication looks like. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to try.

[00:18:05]>> And actually, I felt much more confident this time. I think because I practiced the first situation, this one felt easier.

[00:18:12]>> Exactly. The more you practice, the easier it gets. That's the whole point.

[00:18:17]Now, let's remember the key phrases from this situation. I want to join this gym.

[00:18:23]What's the difference? I think option is better for me. Can I ask what classes do you have? What time is it? Can I try a class before I join? Thank you so much for your help. These sentences work not just for gyms, but for any place where you're asking about memberships, services, or options like language, schools, swimming pools, clubs, anything.

[00:18:47]>> I love these sentences. I'm going to practice them.

[00:18:50]>> Perfect. Okay, everyone. Those were our two real life situations. Now, let's move on to practicing pronunciation together. All right, friends. Now, it's time for muscle memory practice. I'm going to say some really useful phrases and I want you, yes you, watching right now to repeat after me out loud. Don't be shy. Speaking out loud is how you build confidence. Fizu, you're going to do this with me, too. Okay.

[00:19:20]>> Yes, I'm ready.

[00:19:22]>> Perfect. Let's start. Repeat after me slowly and clearly. I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:19:30]>> I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:19:33]>> Great. again. I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:19:37]>> I'm feeling a little nervous.

[00:19:40]>> Excellent. Next one. Nice to meet you.

[00:19:44]>> Nice to meet you.

[00:19:45]>> Perfect. One more time. Nice to meet you.

[00:19:49]>> Nice to meet you.

[00:19:50]>> Beautiful. Next. Can I ask you something?

[00:19:54]>> Can I ask you something?

[00:19:56]>> Great. Again. Can I ask you something?

[00:19:59]>> Can I ask you something?

[00:20:01]>> Excellent. Okay, next phrase. What's the difference?

[00:20:06]>> What's the difference?

[00:20:07]>> Good try. The word difference can be tricky. Let's break it down. Difference.

[00:20:14]Try it slowly. Difference.

[00:20:18]>> Difference.

[00:20:19]>> Perfect. Now the full sentence. What's the difference?

[00:20:23]>> What's the difference?

[00:20:24]>> Excellent. You got it. See, that's how you improve pronunciation. Just practice slowly and clearly. Okay, next phrase. I think that's better for me.

[00:20:36]>> I think that's better for me.

[00:20:38]>> Beautiful. Again, I think that's better for me.

[00:20:42]>> I think that's better for me.

[00:20:44]>> Perfect. Last one. Thank you so much for your help.

[00:20:49]>> Thank you so much for your help.

[00:20:52]>> Wonderful. One more time with feeling.

[00:20:55]Thank you so much for your help. Thank you so much for your help.

[00:21:00]>> Amazing. Okay, everyone, practice these phrases every single day. Say them while you're cooking, walking, or before bed.

[00:21:09]The more you repeat them, the more natural they'll feel. And remember, pronunciation doesn't have to be perfect. It just needs to be clear so people understand you.

[00:21:20]>> I love this practice. I feel like my mouth is getting used to English.

[00:21:25]>> Exactly. That's muscle memory. Your mouth needs practice just like your brain. Great work, Fizu. Now, let's learn some important vocabulary. Okay, everyone. Let's learn some important words and phrases that will help you sound more natural in English. I'm going to teach you five really useful expressions. Fizu, if you don't understand something, ask me. Okay.

[00:21:49]>> Okay, >> perfect. Let's start. First word, nervous. This means you feel worried or anxious about something. For example, I'm nervous about my exam or I feel nervous when I speak English. Fizu, can you use nervous in a sentence?

[00:22:08]>> Um, I am nervous when I meet new peoples.

[00:22:12]>> Great. Try. Small correction. We say new people, not new peoples. People is already plural. So try I'm nervous when I meet new people.

[00:22:24]>> I'm nervous when I meet new people.

[00:22:27]>> Perfect. That's exactly right. So remember nervous means worried or anxious. Next word confident. This is the opposite of nervous. It means you feel sure about yourself. You believe in your ability. For example, I feel confident speaking English. Or she's a very confident person. Fizu, what does confident mean?

[00:22:52]>> Um, it means you are not afraid.

[00:22:55]>> Yes, exactly. You're not afraid. You feel strong and sure. Great job. Can you make a sentence with confident?

[00:23:04]>> I want to be more confident when I speak English.

[00:23:07]>> Perfect. That's an excellent sentence.

[00:23:09]And you know what? You're already becoming more confident. I can see it.

[00:23:14]>> Really? Thank you, Masu.

[00:23:16]>> Okay, next phrase. Give up. This means to stop trying, to quit. For example, I wanted to learn guitar, but I gave up after two months. Or don't give up on your dreams. This phrase is really important for today's lesson, right?

[00:23:34]>> Yes. Don't give up means don't stop trying.

[00:23:38]>> Exactly. Perfect. So, if you feel like giving up on learning English, what should you do?

[00:23:44]>> I should keep trying. I should not give up. Yes, beautiful. Never give up, Fizu.

[00:23:51]You're doing amazing. Next word, practice. This is both a noun and a verb. As a verb, it means to do something many times to get better at it. For example, I practice English every day. As a noun, it means the activity of doing something to improve.

[00:24:11]For example, practice makes perfect.

[00:24:14]Fizu, how often do you practice English?

[00:24:18]>> I practice English um every day.

[00:24:21]>> Great small thing. We write every day as two words when we use it like this.

[00:24:27]Every day. So, I practice English every day.

[00:24:32]>> I practice English every day.

[00:24:34]>> Perfect. And that's why you're improving. Okay, last word. Improve.

[00:24:40]This means to get better, to make progress. For example, my English is improving or I want to improve my speaking skills. Fizu, do you think your English is improving?

[00:24:54]>> Yes, I think my English is improving. I can see I am more better than before.

[00:24:59]>> Excellent. Small fix. Instead of more better, just say better. Try I can see I am better than before. I can see I am better than before.

[00:25:11]>> Perfect. And that's the truth. You are improving. Okay, everyone. Those are five super useful words. Nervous, confident, give up, practice, improve.

[00:25:24]Use these words this week. Try making your own sentences with them. Now, let's test your understanding with a quick quiz. All right, Fizu. Time for a mini quiz. I'm going to ask you three questions about what we learned today.

[00:25:40]Don't worry, there's no pressure. If you get something wrong, we'll learn together. Ready?

[00:25:46]>> Okay, I'm ready.

[00:25:47]>> First question. When you meet someone for the first time, what's a friendly thing to say?

[00:25:53]>> Um, hello. My name is Fizu.

[00:25:57]>> Good. That's correct. And what else can you say to be polite?

[00:26:01]>> Oh, nice to meet you.

[00:26:03]>> Excellent. Perfect. Nice to meet you.

[00:26:07]That's exactly right. Great job. Okay, question two. If you want to join a gym, but you want to try it first, what can you ask?

[00:26:18]>> Um, can I can I trying first?

[00:26:22]>> Ooh, good try. But let's fix that grammar. Instead of can I trying, we say can I try? So the question is, can I try a class first? Or do you have a free trial? Try the first one. Can I try a class first?

[00:26:40]>> Can I try a class first?

[00:26:42]>> Perfect. That's exactly right. See, you got it. Excellent. Last question. What should you do when you make a mistake while speaking English?

[00:26:53]>> Um, I should stop talking.

[00:26:57]>> Good guess, but actually no. You should not stop talking. When you make a mistake, you should smile, correct yourself if you can, and keep going.

[00:27:09]Don't stop because stopping makes you feel worse. But if you keep going, you build confidence. What do you think now?

[00:27:18]>> Oh, so I should keep talking even if I make a mistake.

[00:27:22]>> Yes, exactly. Even if I make a mistake.

[00:27:26]Perfect. That's the right answer. Never stop talking just because you made a small mistake. Just keep going.

[00:27:34]>> I understand now. Thank you, Mysu.

[00:27:36]>> You're welcome. You did great on this quiz. Give yourself a round of applause.

[00:27:42]And everyone watching, you too. You're learning so much today. All right, friends. Now, I want to give you three practical speaking tips that will help you improve your English fast. These are simple things you can do every single day. Fizu, listen carefully because these tips will help you too.

[00:28:04]>> Okay, I'm listening.

[00:28:05]>> The first tip is practice speaking out loud every single day, even if you're alone. Talk to yourself in English while you're cooking, walking, or getting ready in the morning. It doesn't matter if no one is listening. Your mouth and your brain need that practice.

[00:28:24]>> Really? I can just talk to myself?

[00:28:27]>> Yes, absolutely. For example, when you're making breakfast, you can say, "I'm making eggs. I'm pouring juice. I'm eating toast." It sounds simple, but it's super effective. Your brain starts thinking in English naturally.

[00:28:44]>> Oh, I like that. I can do that.

[00:28:46]>> Exactly. It's easy and free and you can do it anywhere. Second tip, don't worry about perfect grammar. Focus on communication first. Your goal is to express your ideas and be understood.

[00:29:02]Perfect grammar comes later with practice. But if you wait until your grammar is perfect before speaking, you'll never speak.

[00:29:10]>> That makes sense. I always worry too much about grammar and then I don't say anything.

[00:29:15]>> Right. And that's a problem. It's better to speak with small mistakes than to say nothing at all. People will understand you and you'll learn faster by trying.

[00:29:26]>> Okay, I would try to speak more and worry less about perfect grammar.

[00:29:29]>> Perfect. That's the right mindset. Third tip, celebrate every small win. Did you say a complete sentence today?

[00:29:38]Celebrate. Did you understand something you couldn't understand last week?

[00:29:43]Celebrate. Every small success is proof you're improving. Don't only focus on what you can't do yet. Celebrate what you can do.

[00:29:54]>> I love this tip. I think I always focus on my mistakes and forget to celebrate my progress.

[00:29:59]>> Exactly. And that makes you feel bad, right? But if you celebrate your progress, you'll feel motivated to keep going. So today, what's one thing you did well? Um, I practiced two real life situations and I felt more confident.

[00:30:15]>> Yes, that's amazing. Celebrate that. You should feel proud. And everyone watching, think about one thing you did well today in English. Maybe you understood this whole episode. That's a win. Celebrate it.

[00:30:31]>> I will. Thank you, Massu.

[00:30:33]>> You're welcome. Okay, let's summarize what we learned today. All right, everyone. Let's recap everything we learned in today's episode. We covered a lot of ground, so let me summarize the key points. First, we talked about the importance of not giving up on yourself when learning English. Remember, every single person who speaks English fluently today was once a beginner just like you. They made mistakes, they felt frustrated, but they kept going. and that's what makes the difference.

[00:31:08]Second, we practiced two real life situations. Meeting new classmates on your first day at university and asking about gym membership when joining a fitness class. In both situations, we learned that it's okay to make mistakes and the most important thing is to keep talking. Don't stop just because you're not perfect. Third, we practiced some really useful phrases like, "I'm feeling a little nervous." "Nice to meet you, can I ask you something? What's the difference?" "Thank you so much for your help." These phrases work in so many different situations, so practice them every day. And finally, we learned three powerful speaking tips. Practice speaking out loud every day, even alone.

[00:31:59]Focus on communication first, not perfect grammar, and celebrate every small win. Fizu, what did you learn today? How do you feel now compared to the beginning?

[00:32:12]>> Wow, Masu, I learned so much. At the beginning of this episode, I told you I felt like my English wasn't improving and I wanted to give up sometimes. But now, I understand that mistakes are actually good because they help me learn. I also learned that I don't need to be perfect. I just need to practice and communicate. And I practiced two real life situations today and I felt my confidence growing. At first I made mistakes like saying I am study instead of I study and more better instead of better. But you helped me correct them and now I know the right way. I feel so much more confident and motivated now.

[00:32:50]>> That's incredible Fizu. And did you hear that everyone? Fizu just described his entire learning journey in this episode.

[00:32:58]He recognized his mistakes. He learned from them. And now he feels confident.

[00:33:04]That's exactly what I want for every single person watching. You can do this.

[00:33:10]You are improving. Don't give up on yourself.

[00:33:13]>> Yes. Don't give up. Keep practicing.

[00:33:16]>> Exactly. All right, friends. That's it for today's episode. Thank you so much for watching the Masu and Fizu show today. I just want to say I'm really proud of you. You spent almost 30 minutes with us learning English and that shows commitment. That shows you care about your future and that's exactly the attitude that will make you successful.

[00:33:40]>> Yes. And remember, you don't have to be perfect. You just have to keep trying every single day.

[00:33:46]>> Exactly. So, here's what I want you to do after watching this episode. First, if you haven't subscribed to the Masu and Fizu Show yet, please subscribe right now. We make new episodes every week to help you improve your English in a fun, supportive way. Second, re-watch this episode. Seriously, watch it again tomorrow or this weekend. The more you listen, the more natural the phrases will become. Repetition is the secret to fluency. Third, practice the sentences we learned today in real life. The next time you meet someone new, say, "Nice to meet you." The next time you want to ask a question, say, "Can I ask you something?" Use these phrases in real situations and they'll become automatic.

[00:34:37]Fourth, speak English every single day, even if it's just for 10 minutes. Talk to yourself. Talk to a friend. Talk to us in the comments. Just practice.

[00:34:48]>> And one more thing, leave a comment below and tell us what will you practice this week. We read every single comment and we love hearing from you.

[00:34:57]>> Yes, tell us what you learned today, what challenges you're facing, or just say hello. We're here with you on this journey, and we want to support you.

[00:35:06]>> We believe in you.

[00:35:08]>> Absolutely. And remember this, mistakes are not failures. They're proof that you're learning and growing. So don't be afraid to make mistakes. Be proud that you're trying.

[00:35:20]>> Yes. Every mistake is a step forward.

[00:35:23]>> Exactly. Okay, friends. That's it for today's episode. Keep practicing, keep believing in yourself, and never, never give up. You've got this.
