All Ears English, 40- Three Ways to Be an Entrepreneur with your English Learning

40- Three Ways to Be an Entrepreneur with your English Learning

Lindsay: This is an All Ears English Podcast, Episode 40: Wisdom Wednesdays,

“Three Ways to Be an Entrepreneur with your English Learning.”

[Instrumental]

Gabby: Welcome to the All Ears English Podcast, where you'll finally get real, native English conversation. Now here are your hosts, Lindsay McMahon, the ‘English Adventurer' and Gabby Wallace, the ‘Language Angel,' coming to you from Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

In this episode, you'll learn how to think like an innovator and how to make English your business.

[Instrumental]

Lindsay: Hey Gabby. What's up?

Gabby: Hey. How's it going Lindsay?

Lindsay: It's going well. Feeling good today. So today… yeah, today we're gonna (going to) be talking about how learners can take an entrepreneurial kind of perspective and way of learning with their English.

Gabby: Oh, that sounds really cool.

Lindsay: Yeah.

Gabby: I think that would be really helpful for all of us.

Lindsay: I hope so. I hope so. (Um), so some of these ideas actually came from my blog. So I (uh), run a blog and a tutoring company called English and Culture. These came from (uh) www.englishandculture.com/blog and (um) this is from a post about how learners can be entrepreneurs with their English. And so what was the first suggestion that we wanted to give Gabby?

Gabby: Yeah.

Be picky about who you spend time with.

Lindsay: What does it mean to be picky?

Gabby: Be selective.

Lindsay: Selective.

Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: Why is that important?

Gabby: Well, as an English language learner, it's important because you wanna (want to) spend time with people who are either English speakers or they're learning English or they (um), they have strong (uh) motivation to learn a language or they at least support your goal of learning English.

Lindsay: Definitely. So it's, it's not just about their level of English, it's also as you said, it's about their level of (uh), commitment, enthusiasm as we said in a, in a recent episode, it's important to be enthusiastic. So you really become who you spend time with.

Gabby: Yes.

Lindsay: That's another quote by Jim Rohn. I think he said something like “You become the average of the four people you spend the most time with.” Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: Super, super, super important if you're trying to do anything, if you're trying to start a business and if you're trying to learn a language.

Gabby: Right.

Lindsay: Okay.

Gabby: I totally agree. (Um), we have another, another good tip for (uh) being an entrepreneur with English language. (Uh), what was that one Lindsay?

Lindsay: So that one is pivot if something isn't working. So to pivot is to take small movements, make small changes. An entrepreneur (um) creates an experiment, measures the results, and then changes, pivots, based on the results. So that's what we want you guys to do with your English. We want you to try something new, such as – what could you try for example?

Gabby: Oh, listening to a podcast to learn English.

Lindsay: A method. Yeah.

A good method.

Gabby; Yeah.

Lindsay: Especially the All Ears English podcast of course.

Gabby: Absolutely, yeah.

Lindsay: So, so try a method. Try out All Ears English and see if it works. And then measure the results.

Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: You know, a few months later, go out and see if you're actually learning the phrases that we're trying to teach you. Are you being inspired? If you're not then maybe we're not for you. And that's okay, but you need to keep searching until you find the right method.

Gabby: Right.

Agreed. Okay we have another, (uh), tip for you: say it even if you don't believe it. So this “it” for example, it could be- say that you speak English, even if you don't believe that you are a fluent English speaker, say that you speak English, because it's really the difference between people talking to you in English and not. I mean if, if I ask Lindsay, “Lindsay, do you speak English?” Lindsay: I'm trying to learn, but it's not going so well.

Gabby: Well, then, you know, I, I might think ‘Oh well, she doesn't know English. I'm not gonna (going to) speak with her,” but, but if Lindsay says it's true, say “Hey Lindsay, do you speak English?” Lindsay: I do. I do. Absolutely.

Gabby; Oh, great. Well then, now I'm going to make an effort to speak to her in English. So just go with it and say you do speak English.

Lindsay: Yeah.

Because you do. You've been learning your whole life. We know you've been learning your whole life.

Gabby: Right.

Lindsay: And so step into your power and say that you're an English speaker.

Gabby: Well and think of it this way. Speaking English doesn't mean that you know every single word in the English language. Probably no one alive… Lindsay: I don't know. We don't know every word in English language.

Gabby: But if you speak a few words in English, you speak English.

Lindsay: Absolutely. That's perfect. So try to follow these three tips to become an entrepreneurial English learner and your English will take off.

Gabby: Great strategies.

Lindsay: Awesome.

[Instrumental]

Gabby: Hey Lindsay. So I've heard some of your students have been using the premium transcripts for this podcast. Tell me about that.

Lindsay: Yeah.

(You know) this podcast is just, is fantastic if you wanna (want to)

have some fun and you wanna (want to) learn a little bit, you wanna (want

to) get a little bit of motivation for your English. But (you know) my students are actually really, really serious about improving and I'm, I'm excited about that. That's why I'm working with them. And so, so for them, the way for them to actually really improve is to use the premium transcripts. So we've been using those in class together (um) and they've been able to learn a ton.

Gabby: Yeah.

Actually my students, too, (uh) they read the transcripts. You can read them out loud. You can do (um) some shadowing with the transcripts as well. You can look up vocabulary. You can do a lot of things. I don't want to go on and on, but the premium transcripts are super helpful and we want to encourage those of you who are serious about improving your English this New Year to try them out. You can find them at allearsenglish.com/conversations.

Lindsay: All right. So please check it out. Thanks guys.

Gabby: Thank you.

Lindsay: Thanks for listening to the All Ears English Podcast. We're here to help you

Gabby: Yeah.

Be picky about who you spend time with. |こだわる|||||| |esigente|||||| Soyez pointilleux sur les personnes avec qui vous passez du temps. 對與誰共度時光要挑剔。

Lindsay: What does it mean to be picky? |||||||挑剔 |||||||particular Lindsay:挑剔是什麼意思?

Gabby: Be selective. ||선택적인 ||選り好みして 蓋比:要有選擇性。

Lindsay: Selective.

Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: Why is that important? 林賽:為什麼這很重要?

Gabby: Well, as an English language learner, it's important because you wanna (want to) spend time with people who are either English speakers or they're learning English or they (um), they have strong (uh) motivation to learn a language or they at least support your goal of learning English. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||동기 부여|||||||||||||| 加比:嗯,作為一個英語學習者,這很重要,因為你想(想要)花時間與那些說英語的人或他們正在學習英語的人在一起,或者他們(嗯),他們有強烈的(呃)學習動機。語言或它們至少支持您學習英語的目標。

Lindsay: Definitely. |확실히 |Sicuramente So it's, it's not just about their level of English, it's also as you said, it's about their level of (uh), commitment, enthusiasm as we said in a, in a recent episode, it's important to be enthusiastic. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||eager and passionate ||||||||||||||||||||||enthusiasm|||||||||||||| |||||||||||||||||||||impegno||||||||||||||| 所以,這不僅僅是關於他們的英語水平,也正如你所說,這是關於他們的(呃)、承諾、熱情的水平,正如我們在最近的一集中所說,保持熱情很重要。 So you really become who you spend time with. 這樣,您就真正成為了與您共度時光的人。

Gabby: Yes.

Lindsay: That's another quote by Jim Rohn. |||인용문||| ||||||ローン Lindsay:這是吉姆‧羅恩的另一句話。 I think he said something like “You become the average of the four people you spend the most time with.” Gabby: Yeah. ||||something like|||turn into||mean||||individuals||spend time with|||||| |||||||diventi|||||||||||||| Je pense qu'il a dit quelque chose comme "Tu deviens la moyenne des quatre personnes avec qui tu passes le plus de temps." Gaby : Ouais. 我想他說過這樣的話:“你會成為與你相處時間最長的四個人的平均水平。”加比:是的。

Lindsay: Super, super, super important if you're trying to do anything, if you're trying to start a business and if you're trying to learn a language. Lindsay:如果你想做任何事,如果你想創業,如果你想學習語言,那麼這非常非常非常重要。

Gabby: Right.

Lindsay: Okay.

Gabby: I totally agree. 蓋比:我完全同意。 (Um), we have another, another good tip for (uh) being an entrepreneur with English language. (嗯),我們還有另一個、另一個關於(呃)成為英語企業家的好建議。 (Uh), what was that one Lindsay? (呃)那個 Lindsay 是什麼?

Lindsay: So that one is pivot if something isn't working. |||||pivot|||| |||||方向転換|||| |||||punto di svolta|||| Lindsay : Donc, celui-ci est pivot si quelque chose ne fonctionne pas. Линдси: А вот это - поворот, если что-то не работает. Lindsay:所以,如果某件事不起作用,那麼這就是關鍵。 So to pivot is to take small movements, make small changes. ||调整|||||||| Так что поворачивать - значит делать небольшие движения, вносить небольшие изменения. 因此,轉向就是採取小動作,做出小改變。 An entrepreneur (um) creates an experiment, measures the results, and then changes, pivots, based on the results. ||||||测量||||||调整|||| |||만든다||실험|측정값|||||||||| |imprenditore||||||||||||||| ||||||||||||方向転換します|||| Un entrepreneur (um) crée une expérience, mesure les résultats, puis change, pivote, en fonction des résultats. 企業家(嗯)創建一個實驗,衡量結果,然後根據結果進行改變、調整。 So that's what we want you guys to do with your English. 這就是我們希望你們用英語做的事情。 We want you to try something new, such as – what could you try for example? 我們希望您嘗試一些新的東西,例如 – 您可以嘗試什麼?

Gabby: Oh, listening to a podcast to learn English. Gabby|||||||| |||||ポッドキャスト||| 蓋比:噢,聽聽Podcast來學英文。

Lindsay: A method. ||방법 Yeah.

A good method.

Gabby; Yeah.

Lindsay: Especially the All Ears English podcast of course. Lindsay:當然尤其是 All Ears English 播客。

Gabby: Absolutely, yeah.

Lindsay: So, so try a method. Try out All Ears English and see if it works. 試試 All Ears English 看看是否有效。 And then measure the results. 然後測量結果。

Gabby: Yeah.

Lindsay: You know, a few months later, go out and see if you're actually learning the phrases that we're trying to teach you. Lindsay : Vous savez, quelques mois plus tard, sortez et voyez si vous apprenez réellement les phrases que nous essayons de vous apprendre. Lindsay:你知道,幾個月後,出去看看你是否真的在學習我們試圖教你的短語。 Are you being inspired? 你受到啟發了嗎? If you're not then maybe we're not for you. 如果你不是,那也許我們不適合你。 And that's okay, but you need to keep searching until you find the right method. ||||||||cercare|||||| 沒關係,但是您需要繼續搜索,直到找到正確的方法。

Gabby: Right.

Agreed. Okay we have another, (uh), tip for you: say it even if you don't believe it. 好吧,我們還有另一個(呃)提示給你:即使你不相信,也要說出來。 So this “it” for example, it could be- say that you speak English, even if you don't believe that you are a fluent English speaker, say that you speak English, because it's really the difference between people talking to you in English and not. Donc ce "ça" par exemple, ça pourrait être- dire que tu parles anglais, même si tu ne crois pas que tu parles anglais couramment, dis que tu parles anglais, parce que c'est vraiment la différence entre les gens qui te parlent en Anglais et non. 例如,這個“它”,可以說你說英語,即使你不相信你能說流利的英語,說你說英語,因為這確實是人們與你交談的區別英語又不是。 I mean if, if I ask Lindsay, “Lindsay, do you speak English?” Lindsay: I'm trying to learn, but it's not going so well. 我的意思是,如果我問林賽,“林賽,你會說英語嗎?” Lindsay:我正在努力學習,但進展不太順利。

Gabby: Well, then, you know, I, I might think ‘Oh well, she doesn't know English. Gabby : Eh bien, alors, vous savez, je, je pourrais penser 'Oh bien, elle ne connaît pas l'anglais. 加比:那麼,你知道,我,我可能會想『哦,好吧,她不懂英文。 I'm not gonna (going to) speak with her,” but, but if Lindsay says it's true, say “Hey Lindsay, do you speak English?” Lindsay: I do. Je ne vais pas (vais) parler avec elle », mais, mais si Lindsay dit que c'est vrai, dites « Hé Lindsay, parlez-vous anglais ? Lindsay : Oui. 我不會和她說話,”但是,如果 Lindsay 說的是真的,請說“嘿 Lindsay,你會說英語嗎?”林賽:我願意。 I do. 我願意。 Absolutely.

Gabby; Oh, great. Well then, now I'm going to make an effort to speak to her in English. 那麼,現在我要努力用英語和她交談。 So just go with it and say you do speak English. 所以就順其自然吧,說你會說英語。

Lindsay: Yeah.

Because you do. You've been learning your whole life. 你一生都在學習。 We know you've been learning your whole life. 我們知道您一生都在學習。

Gabby: Right.

Lindsay: And so step into your power and say that you're an English speaker. Lindsay : Et donc, entrez dans votre pouvoir et dites que vous êtes anglophone. Lindsay:所以發揮你的力量,說你是一個說英語的人。

Gabby: Well and think of it this way. 蓋比:好吧,這樣想吧。 Speaking English doesn't mean that you know every single word in the English language. 說英語並不意味著您知道英語中的每一個單字。 Probably no one alive… Lindsay: I don't know. 可能沒有人活著… Lindsay:我不知道。 We don't know every word in English language. 我們並不認識英語中的每一個單字。

Gabby: But if you speak a few words in English, you speak English. 蓋比:但是如果你說幾個英文單字,你就會說英語。

Lindsay: Absolutely. That's perfect. So try to follow these three tips to become an entrepreneurial English learner and your English will take off. ||||||||||||||||będzie|| 因此,試著遵循這三個技巧來成為創業英語學習者,你的英語將會起飛。

Gabby: Great strategies. 蓋比:很棒的策略。

Lindsay: Awesome.
