- 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!🥰🥰🥰
Girl plz share your skincare routine 😭❤️
Tu es tres jolie🥰
Oh, dear, you've placed the "shadow boxing" world in your video. Loving it !
Wow, the transcript tool is exactly what I was looking for a long time. Thanks a lot

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.
Exactly. Thank you!
Agreed! Except, as someone with a very average American accent I’d rather not have it show when speaking other languages haha
Yes, I thought that was a very good point. Zoe is great.
This is very true -- as a Canadian, I love different accents as I think many Anglophone people do, but I kind of hate my own lol.
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.
This is perfect timing! I’m trying to learn Japanese and it’s been quite difficult but these tips seem so helpful so thank you and good luck to everyone else trying to learn a language. You’ve got this! 💜
Definitely miss, any recommendation resources for Japanese learner
wow, me too, that's awesome, I wish luck for both of us
Do you want to live in Japan?
Ahhh i am into japanese too. I have a lot of material but no way of processing it 😭😂

As a native Cantonese speaker who’s also fluent in Mandarin and English, I am eager to explore and learn more languages. As of now I’m trying to learn Korean, Japanese by myself. Thank you Zoe for this wonderful video and sharing your tips to us. I’m sure I will benefit from this a lot.
I am learning Spanish and French. I love French but ıt is so hard to speak it. I will use this method 🥰🥰
This is the best video that I have ever seen in my life about learning languages. Here I found three fundamental pillars: clarity, depth, and sincerity.
I love learning new languages in my life. This is my biggest hobby and dream
I'm a bit behind in catching up on your videos, but this is so motivational for me. 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!
Your videos are so helpful and inspiring. I can't believe your channel hasn't been around for too long, the quality of your videos is so professional. Many thanks for the inspiration ❤️
It's so amazing to see Joe learning and practicing a new language. I'm feeling very motivated to keep my studies.
this is so timely!! and something i’ve been searching for to help myself pronounce french better and improve my french!! merci beaucoup !!
I really love your videos, I’ve recently hit a wall with my language learning and your tips, perspectives, and insight really helped me push through!
I have finally found the sort of (coach) I can completely rely on. Fantastic dynamic, and I've been applying some of yours methods, and as simple as they sound, they're efficient.
- I also want to point out that your English accent is very pleasant and clear, at least for me. Watching your videos are both enriching & entertaining.
What an amazing video! I've just seen another video of yours where you say that you used to binge-watch videos on language learning, and I can see it clearly! You've got a well-rounded knowledge on techniques and tips, and in a such strategical, succinct view, that my mind boggles at how perfect is your way of tackling language learning. It's flawless.
Congratulations!
i'm very impressed the way you show how to put "shadow boxing" into practice. I read about that technique from Medium, rarely could I find a video about that. I'm learning Spanish now and I've found such technique very helpful. Thank you Zoe!!!
I'm struggling to learn a new language but I always wanna be immersed in the new things. So thank you profoundly because of making this video. ❤️❤️
Zoe! You have no idea how helpful this video is for people who are stuck between beginner and intermediate but don’t have language exchange partners or tutors. This video explained language shadow boxing so well and not in the generic “just copy the words” way but in a more meaningful learning experience way. Thank you so much!!
I honestly think this is one of the best language videos I've ever listened to. De très bon conseils, merci du fond du coeur
Great advice Zoe. You were realistic about your language-learning journey and this encouraged me. I will try this technique and come back to give an update on my progress.
I've gotta hand it to you, you're like a TH-cam wizard! Seriously, your advice and study plans are magic. While everyone else is stuck in the "practice, talk" loop, you swoop in with these mind-b
I mean, who needs a boring roadmap when we've got you unveiling the secret treasure map of language learning?
You're a genius! Deserving of 10 million subscribers and beyond. Keep shining!❣❣
Absolutely! It sometimes takes time to train your vocal apparatus to pronounce new sounds, but practice makes perfect! And when you'll get to pronounce them correctly, you'll also find it easier to identify them.
J'adore quand vous parlez en français. ❣
omg, this video is so useful and full of awesome pieces of advice, thank you, Zoe!
One of the best videos about language learning I watched ever!!.. Giving us so much energy and motivation.. Thank yoouuu! ♥♥
Dear Zoe, your content is so helpful! Not only are you a talented polyglot, but you are definitely also a perfect narrator and influencer! You've inspired me so much on language learning! I'm really grateful for your work, especially for giving specific examples, your own methods and resources for mastering different languages. Sending you much love from Ukraine 🤗❤️
جزاكِ الله خيرًا 🌸
Wow today I received a bunch of good tips & advices to improve my learning language , thanks!
Thanks Zoe for you have shared your experience. I will use these techniques on my language learning road
I know learn a language is not always easy. Not to mention to master a language. I envy those who can speak English very fluently. Zoe your enthusiasm and persistence give me more energy to move forward. Because no pain no gain.
Thank you Zoe. Your videos are very so very particle and might save me thousands on the language courses.
I really enjoy your videos! Your suggestion of writing a list of words with difficult sounding letters is spot on! I used that technique when I taught my Spanish students to speak English better ... and you have reminded me to use the same technique for my current two target languages, Darija Moroccan Arabic and Spanish. Another top tip that I have used with my students is to pick an English song that they like and learn to sing it. It is a great education in pronunciation and accent building techniques. And singing in your target language is FUN!
Thank you for sharing!
I rarely comment on things but I want to say thank you Zoe for all the work you put in your videos. They are so well done and quite useful.
You are so welcome 🤗
I just love your videos, they are SO helpful! Thank you :)
OMG!!! I'll try your tips for my English. I'm so confused when I have learned English speaking skills for several months. This video makes my way clearly. Thank you very much!
Video timing is perfect! Thank you!
That was a very good quality video
Thanks for your hard work on it
I am now motivated to focus on my German ❤
I was lacking of motivation but now thanks to you I am back ❤
I wish you become more national with your videos it is really great from you
Hey girl I feel like thanking you for your fascinating videos which you create them . When I have no motivation, I watched a video of your videos . It inspired me , knowing that I learn English
You are the best Dear Zoe. Absolutely amazing.
My best language chanel ever❤️ you are so sincere and helpful
The information you give us is very usable, your channel totally worth it!
太谢谢你了Zoe for all your help and tips. 진짜 you are one of a kind. I can say this, because 私は also study languages at home all by myself. I noticed that out of all languages, Arabic is by far the most “difficile” and you speak it like a pro ما شاء الله. If you decide on “lernen” a new language like Russian or Spanish, or even a new Asian language like Japanese. “Lütfen” share your journey and study tips with us. You’re an inspiration. خداحافظ
Precious tips! Thank you very much!
One of the the best videos. Very useful. Thank you
This was very helpful Zoe. Extremely helpful. Thanks a lot for sharing.

I think it's the only channel that will help learn and talk english fluency 🫂i've started learning english since the last year , i can see that i'm achieving something but at as far as i concerned i should do more and more to learn this hard language fast !
Don't care about my comment guys i just wanna practice writing a little bit^^
Hello, Zoe. I am so glad I came across this video. It is amazing what you have achieved in just a few years. Thank you for this useful content. I will definitely try the methods you recommend here.
I am wondering if while learning any of the languages you felt you plateaued. I have spoken English for a few years and I am quite advanced but at times it seems I am still getting a tongue tie or do not use all the vocabulary I know. I am wondering what methods I can use at this stage to further improve my English speaking skills.
Thank you!
This is what i am looking for. Thanks zoel for your helpful tips.
This video has been very helpful Zoe. Thank you very much
Just wonderful. Kerstin from Munich, trying to speak Arabic since 35 yrs...

It's very useful way to improve my speaking and listening. Thank you for your sharing.
thank you so much, especially for the documentaries recommendation 🤗🤗🤗
Zoe, this is a great video - so helpful. I saw your conversation with Steve Kaufmann about hardest languages - I agree with both of you about Arabic. I have been trying to learn it for a few years, and am very happy to see how well you speak it. مبروك، يا أختي
Thanks, Zoe. I´m a new subscriber from Brazil
You are amazing zoe !!!!!
thank you for these great sharings! will try and update on progress
Thank you for these great tips. I also love how you showed examples for each. I have a partner who is Filipino and I'm really wanting to learn the language and also really wanted to get better in Korean as I love how the words and how the language sounds. I'm looking forward to doing these.
Some on You Tube found that 1 can use Korean Hangul to write Cantonese & Hokkien, at
least. Tagalog has borrowed Hokkien dialect words more than
Cantonese, Mandarin, etc.
Great tips Zoe, So inspiring I love that guy speaking Chinese
very practical，thanks a lot！
Thank you so much for this video, now i have motivation 🥳
Thanks, actually these are really useful advices, thank you so much!!!

Finally I found someone as crazy about languages as me, Nice video!

I’m new here, From Syria and I love your channel, it’s very useful, thank you for sharing your experience to us
Super useful video! I'm Italian, I speak English and French at c1 level. I'm learning Russian and I've been really struggling with it, I find the grammar to be very difficult and all the tables about cases and so on are intimidating. Thank you so much for your tips!
Ohh, yeah
Thank you for the tips ❤
You are such an angel 😍😘, I consistently learned Chinese with some of your methods ( recording my voice )
Um dos melhores métodos de ensino que já assisti aqui no TH-cam, era exatamente isso que estava procurando, obrigado por compartilhar seu conhecimento. I'm from Brazil, thank you so much
Pois é, pensei o mesmo!
@@pereiratfd já estou colocando em pratica, bora aprender!! Enjoy the journey
Hey Zoe! I've been taking online lessons with native Mandarin teachers and watching TH-cam tutorials; I have two 1-hour lessons every weekend. This has been ongoing for 3 years and I now sometimes wake up realising I've been speaking Mandarin in my dreams - 完善
I began my Mandarin-learning experience listening to podcasts while driving a machine in the construction industry - getting paid to learn/maximizing time, right? 🤪
Thank you so much for your inspirational videos! They're amazing!! 🀄🎸🎷🤩
very helpful video, thank you so much❤️
You are like my English coach Zoe, thank you so much )
Thanks for the suggestions for Francais. One must devote time to practice even if it requires duplicating our efforts to oppose our planning. The context of one's efforts is revealed with study.
i appreciate for you how you explain for us english truely you are professional teacher
