TRANSCRIPT
Hi, there. My name is Ronnie. Today, I'm going to teach you something very fun and exciting and important. It's how to improve your speaking. Whether you're speaking English or whether you're doing public speaking in front of people or whether you're just speaking to a neighbor, someone on the bus, someone in a store, or a taxi driver, you might be shy. What does "shy" mean? "Shy" means you don't like -- or you're nervous -- to speak to strangers or to speak to other people. So if you are naturally a shy person, I'm sure you've heard people over and over again say, "Don't be shy! Come on. Don't be shy!" Easier said than done, isn't it, shy people? So I want to give you some tips or some pointers maybe to help you to be less shy. It's impossible to be 100 percent outgoing if you are naturally a shy person.
So today's lesson is how you improve your speaking. Don't be shy!
The first thing that you have to do is think about why. "Why am I shy?" There may be many different reasons. I'm just going to go through a couple of them. The number one reason, probably, if you're watching these videos, is because you are trying to speak a new language. Maybe it is English. And you are shy to make a mistake. You don't want to say something bad, funny, rude, embarrassing. You don't want your face to go red and they'll go, "Ha ha! You said a funny word!" Okay. That will happen. And you know what? Who cares? It happens all the time. I say funny things a lot, too.
Another reason why you may be shy is because you "talk funny". Lots of people have different problems with their mouths. Some people have a speech impediment. Some people have a lisp, so they don't pronounce words probably like me. Maybe you have a very strange or different accent than the other people around you. People often ask me, "Ronnie, where are you from?" And I say, "Canada." And they say, "No, you're not." "Yes, I am." "But you have an accent." "Yes. I have an accent. I talk funny. Who cares? I'm from Canada. Nice to meet you." So even if you do talk funny or you do have an accent, rock with it. Yeah. You speak differently. Good. Don't be like other people. Other people are boring.
This is a problem. Maybe you just don't like to talk. Okay? Maybe you are quiet. Maybe you don't want to talk to anyone ever, at all. That's cool. If you don't like people and you don't like to talk, don't force yourself to talk. Maybe you could write something. Maybe you could text message or email someone. But that's not going to improve your speaking. If you do not like to talk to people, that's your choice. But I'm trying to help you overcome your shyness. So let's go through a couple ways to actually do this. Don't be shy!
Just say, "Hi!" So if you're standing at a bus stop or the subway station or anywhere, and there's another human being beside you -- let's say that you're at a bar, and there's a beautiful girl or a very handsome boy. The quickest, the easiest, and the best way to speak to someone is just to say, "Hi! My name is Ronnie." Don't use "Ronnie", though. That's my name. You have to use your name. So just say "hi" to people. If they want to speak to you, they will start the conversation. They will say, "Oh, hi. My name is --. Nice to meet you." "Oh, nice to meet you, too." Uh-oh! And then, your shyness sets in because -- "What do I say? Shoes. I have shoes. Do you have shoes? Oh, God. I'm such an idiot. I can't even speak." Maybe the other person will have asked you a person. You can always ask people basic questions, like, "Where are you from? Why do you talk funny? Why are you shy?" All those fun questions.
When you're actually speaking to someone, it's really important that you choose a topic that you like. So if I were to meet someone -- "Hi. My name is Ronnie." "Hi." "Cool. So -- oh, I like music. Do you like the Sex Pistols?" "Yeah." "Me, too. Oh, my God. No way! What other kind of music to you like?" So I like to talk to people about music. The only problem is not a lot of people like the same music I do. So you have to choose a topic that you like to talk about. If you're lucky, the other person will also like the topic.
The next one: Get a job. Now, this might be very strange for you to even comprehend, but I -- right here -- am shy.
This is not just an English lesson, it is a life lesson.
Sure
She's the "most" funniest teacher on internet 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🤣🙏🏽
Very good class 🤣 thanks
yes, its true!!!
Damn I love this woman☹❤ I wish she was my teacher😭❤

Wherearethecarrots? The funniest teacher in youtube!!
So do I! Let’s order to her English Lives! Lol teacheeer! I’ve never ordered nothing to you... 😇
Try [ Effortless English ] he's one good teacher and a perfect storyteller.
I am shy particularly when I am speaking to a person who is more knowledgeable than me. But one thing I must admit the fact you are most dearly teacher having a very friendly attitude which I hardly find these days.
Reasons why I'm shy ?
1- I don't want to make any mistakes .
2- I was raised like this.
3- sometimes I become talkative and get lost . (Lol) .
If u have any of them reasons in u , you r the best hahah .( because I'm not the only one ).
*am
If you are interested in reducing shyness quickly the best results that i've ever had was with the Seans Shy Program (i found it on google) - without a doubt the best info that I've tried.

Alondra Lozano texting and writing notes is easier for me. When I was younger, I use to wear sunglasses 🕶 to hide myself when I’m face to face with confrontation. I don’t do that anymore though. I learned just to face the person eye to eye.
Ronnie is one of the beast teacher who teaches in a style that attracts every one to see her videos and enjoying to learn English in a simple and easy way. thank you Ronnie
This is very essential for future among every students all around the world.Because having watched this video,I have already avoided my shy.
I'm shy because I'm afraid that when I start a conversation, I'll run out of things to say and I'll just sit there looking awkward and it'll be all silent.
You have to choose people who make you feel comfortable while the discussion. You know people who share the same interests as yours (music-sports-tv shows-animes..) ANYTHING. Get to know the people day after day then you will have a pleasant conversation :) I know it will take time because I have myself been shy. But now that I have true friends I can talk nonsense they will still find it funny. I hope that I helped you a little bit.
Ps: sorry if I made any mistakes xp
Asmae Rachid you are quite right. i have been doing the same since last 2 months and now i am feeling quite comfortable.
Asmae Rachid nice tip
Thank you
Asmae Rachid
I'm not really shy, I just don't know what to talk about or how to talk
Same
Me too
Same
Me five! Chatter in my head is saying “I’d love to talk to you, but what should I say?”
Me too and when I talk to people they judge me and my feelings heart
A girl who was shy and thought that people are boring became a teacher. I just admire you.
Ronnie is an incredible teacher, Emma as well, You both are amazing teachers, thanks for everything.
I'm shy because I don't want to mess up or embarrass myself in front of people. I used to be bullied a lot too and I always felt down and wanted to disappear. I don't want to be bullied and made fun of.
Sprinkleofshantily i fell your pain :(
How can laughing even help? >.<
If I do they they continue in my school.
Shadowdoom X how?
+Sprinkleofshantily Just remember one thing which is 1000% true: BULLIES HAVE PROBLEMS. Think about it. If they are nice, normal people with no problems of their own, why would they enjoy bullying other people? Bullies make fun of others in order to hide their own problems. They probably have been bullied by someone else and then start bullying other people to make themselves feel better. Don't be afraid of bullies, instead, feel sorry for them and their personal problems. You need to believe in yourself and dare to make mistakes because making mistakes is one of the best way to learn what's right. Most of all, don't let bullies dictate what you should or shouldn't do. They are space and time wasters and serve no particular use in this world, but sadly they exist. To address your fear of being made fun of, think of it this way: if you make a mistake, you'll get corrected and so you're not likely to make that mistake again. But if you don't make mistakes, chances are you'll never get corrected and therefore are less likely to learn anything. Good luck!
the less you care, the happier you'll be
i respect this woman so much ,she makes fun while she is learning you . my great teacher all the best 😀💕

I don't know English very well, but I can say that I understand your every word. The way of explanation and facial expressions are interesting enough. Thank you for helping us Ronnie..
I'm more shy than reserved. If you talk to me first, I'll talk to you...

I adore her way of teaching so much it makes me feel so comforting and motivating.
I am shy because I feel like when I talk to people, my mind just stops or the only things I have to say are awkward.
Me too. I feel fear of make mistakes in the pronunciation moments. One worse word in the phrase, do you know? So, I prefer dont to talk.
@@fanaticosporgmes I have serious problem with English language when I start talking I feel like all words ran out from me

I love the way you teach and act. You are a good teacher and can teach ppl who speak a second language. I hop all teachers to be like you, in positive manner.
Great teacher indeed. Funny, straight to the point and not shy at all. Congratulations!
she's much better than my English Teacher.

I fear rejection and annoying ppl
Yeah , me too
Summer Sunshine i never text first only with people i truly like and feel safe
Ronnie, you rock, you made my day with this class. God bless you
Many English teachers teach like language is imposed on them but in your case English radiates and glitters. Amazing teacher
She talks so funnyyyyyy. Thanks so much!
I love this woman!!! Honestly I always get bored with my English lessons, but she absolutely gets my attention and makes me laugh haha
You are my favorite teacher because I learn how teach very effectively with lots of humors and funs, of course without any shy. Love you my favorite teacher.
Thank you, Ronnie, for your lessons. You teach in a cool way. I'm from Russia and it's so interesting to watch EngVid's videos!
I'm shy because I'm scared to sound stupid , and I'm scared of being juged , and I'm a little scared of humans!
B Natacha I am same but I am not scared of people
😢 same feeling
Me too I am scared even if I am a teacher
In front of my students no problems but another group I hesitate
Me actually thats me ok me
I am some way😱😱😱😅😅😅
I think I’m a shy person because I don’t speak the language very well or maybe I have to learn more vocabulary. But with a teacher like you Ronnie I’ll get it. Thanks a lot ♥

But your speaking style is much perfect...
Ronnie is amazing. I've been watching like I was chained. I enjoy your charisma!
why I am shy:
1. I don't have many topics to say. After I say "Hi", then I don't know how to continue our conversation.
2.I am afraid I have said something funny.
2.I have accent when I speak English. But now after this video, I don't care.
Oooo! i'm very shy. Becouse I want to speak English and afraid to make mistakes.... even now, when I write.
me too
think about it this way: you made lots of mistakes in russian when you were a child.
Hi, nice to mete you, I'm from Honduras may be we can talk or write hehe and We can help us each others.
Jose Ramon Lopez yes we can help each other.
Hi, me too, do you want to practice your english? :D

Thank you Ronnie for your English class, this is best class i ever watched in you tube.
You're an amazing teacher, I like your way in teaching.
Lol.. you are so cute.. it’s always fun to watch your videos!
Zara Hassan can I speak to you please
@@omartarek7641 lol

wow
What a fun!
I am a Chinese student who has struggled with English for so many years. I would say it is kind of my destiny to be majored in English but I really hate the feeling of frustration when I have to read bunch of articles in English which makes me confused and when I have to speak English in classes with some peoples who are also Chinese. Magical realistic scene. Ronnie, u are so interseting, this is maybe the fisrt time that I get fun from a English lesson. Thanks Ronnie, Hallelujah!
Sometimes I feel nervous bcos of my pronunciation and it really affecting me but thanks ms Ronnie for this trick I believe it will definitely help my speaking process
I laughed a lot with your videos. Thank you so much for the tips.
Roni you are a good teacher!!! I must say.
Just i am shy cause iam afraid from another bullying and laughing ..i was so funny and talk to many people but now my heart is broken i can't talk to people ..most people are dangerous..
I love you so much u are best teacher in the world ❤️
I’m reluctant to speak when for example I’m in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. That might make me shy because I’m afraid strangers notice my accent. It doesn’t happen in my home when I meet strangers. Some of the English tenses make me nervous such as past perfect tenses and conditional sentences. You are great Ronnie.
Lol! The best teacher in the world! Thanks Ronnie to help us be less shy. I don't like my voice, so record me is always a hard way to improve my speaking... but I do my best, sometimes. I really need to do it more. And the " get drunk" tip is real! hahaha
Thanks for your lesson.
Actually I'm still trying to get over from my shyness
I got an amazing opportunity in my life 2 months ago, I'm working as a leasing agent right now but my English skills are not to very good yet, but every day i learn more and more but the thing is that I'm too shy when i have to speak to the residents 😒 but God and Ronnie's videos are helping me a lot. Gracias Dios 🙏
The best teacher ever. Undepleted source of information .
I don't think I'm a lot shy, but I really don't like talking to people. I prefer listening or thinking all by myself :/
Lara Amico the mind can build you or it can destroy you. Get out of your head! Your brain is buying you. I went through it!! Best way to tackle it is by meditating in silence no thoughts. You need to practice self affirmations From now on!! Also Louise Hay is one of my favorite.
@@victoriasangel8438 can u help me pls?
i'm so in love with you Ronnie. Your lessons so amazing !
Thanks for your outstanding teaching skills. Although I am a non-English speaking individual yet I can understand considerable your speaking. In fact your gesture and postures techniques are maked more interaction of students.Wish you success in every respect.
I love this woman. Previously, my english was not enough in order that even to understand this video. but now I enjoy when I watch it. And yes I am coming to the consept. I dont like shyness and you told your shy history very well. I am not afraid of meeting new people but I agree you. In these days, talking with people is very boring for me. I will talking about new things and I will see new people and of course I must start a new job! Thanks for video the best teacher!!!
You're so funny Ronnie lol I think I would never be able to be your student, because I would certainly disturb every class laughing like crazy. You always make my day with your humour.
Hi Ronnie you’re such a good and nice teacher I like the way you teach on your CZcams sometimes it makes me smile and laughing and thanks for your videos
It helps me a lot. I am shy, but I am trying to improve and develop myself. You are a fantastic teacher!
You are a good teacher, I agreed with the job point, because i use to be Shy but since i started working as Help Desk IT staff i get raid of the shyness, because i have to interact and talk with different people everyday.
i just have nothing to talk about and im a boring person😫

Loads of love !!
You rule our hearts cz u r real and do justice to what u do..😊
When your body is full of Shyness your world is just like a tiny box and it's so dark inside. And i don't want to stay in that tiny box anymore.
Yhell Potato awesome it's really good motivation to come out from that blody shyness.
i'm shy because i'm afraid of blushing, and I blush very easily, plus many people had hurt me.
any advise for blushers?
you cant help it nor you can control it.. so embrace it 😊 if someone happens to laugh at you, laugh along .. its not bad to be a blushyy person. i find it quite cute 😊
Keep in you're mind that they are dumb and you will probably never see them again so who cares
break theyr face, the people who hurts you :D
+brenda munoz dont give too much importance to people's opinion!
