How to improve your speaking skills by yourself? The shadow boxing technique! (Subtitles)

In this video, I would like to share with you all the exercises I do to practice speaking skills by myself. They are based on the shadow boxing method that you can practice every day even if you don't have native speakers around. I basically use them to get a basic level of conversation before trying to talk to native speakers, like talking with a language exchange partner.
This video is meant to share my experience and give you some inspiration. If you have better methods, please share them with us in the comments. Much love to you!

    Guys I normally use all the exercises mentioned in the video to get a basic level of conversation before I try to speak to native speakers, such as speaking with a language exchange partner. Even though I start practicing with a language exchange partner, I still do these kinds of exercises in parallel. This video is meant to share my experience and give you inspiration. If you have any better methods or know of any useful apps, please share them with us in the comments. Much love!🥰🥰🥰

    This is the first time I've seen a language youtuber differentiate between pronunciation and accent and not obsess with the latter, which is sooo refreshing to hear! In my opinion, bringing a foreign accent into a language only enriches it.

    For Spanish, accents matter because it can be very different and your ears have to be trained for it. And it doesn’t hurt to speak the way you want. Actually everyone has an accent, it just depends on how it sounds.

I'm learning Korean and while I'm okay with speaking (as far as my beginner level allows) I struggle with listening comprehension. One, these tips are very helpful for listening AND speaking so I will try them. Two, the fact that you said three years ago you were afraid to speak English and now you are fluent enough to do these long videos really inspires me. Thank you!
