all right, five ways that natives think different from

그래요, 영어 원어민들이 영어 학습자들과는 다르게 생각하는 5가지 방식

English learners

I've noticed that there are some differences in the ways that

저는 생각하는 방식에 있어서 몇몇 차이가 있다는 점을 발견했어요.

You might think if you're an english learner and the way that a native English speaker might approach things

영어 학습자로서 당신이 생각하는 방식과 실제 영어 원어민이 접근하는 방식에서요.

so the first one is how we

그래서 첫번째는

approach people this is huge this

우리가 어떻게 사람들에게 접근을 하느냐예요. 이건 중요해요

It's probably

아마도,

the things that bothers me the most and I want you to know it because

이 문제가 저를 가장 많이 괴롭혔고,

You might be losing friends over this one. This is really important. So a

어쩌면 이 문제 때문에 친구를 잃을 수도 있기 때문에 여러분이 알았으면 합니다. 이건 정말 중요해요. 그래서

An English Learner, let's start with English learners an english learner

영어 학습자로서, 영어 학습자부터 시작을 해봅시다

often approaches native English speakers with the idea that oh if I

영어학습자들은 종종 원어민에게 이런 생각을 하면서 접근을 해요. '만약에 내가

Speak with this person. It would only be my friend. I'll be able to improve my English with them

이 사람이랑 대화를 하면, 친구만 되면. 나는 내 영어실력을 향상시킬 수 있을 거야.

I'll be able to practice with them. This will be like a

이 사람들이랑 연습도 할 수 있고. 무료 수업 같잖아?'

free lesson

Well that may be true it very well may be true

그래요, 이건 사실일 수도 있어요. 아마도 사실일거예요.

actually

사실 맞습니다.

It is true

The more native speakers that you interact with and the more native speaker friends that you have the more you will improve your English. However

더 많은 원어민들과 접촉하고, 더 많은 원어민 친구가 있을 수록 당신은 영어 실력을 더 향상시킬 수 있을 거예요. 그러나

approaching a person with the mindset of oh this person is going to help me and

한 사람에게 접근을 이런 마음 가짐으로 하는 건 ' 오, 이 사람은 나를 도와줄거야.

They're going to give me their time their energy

이 사람들은 나를 위해 시간과 에너지를 투자해줄거야.

You know, they're going to correct my English for free. It just doesn't feel very good

그들은 무료로 내 영어를 교정해줄거야~' 이건 그다지 좋은 생각은 아닌 것 같아요.

to

The native English speaker now if you approach a native English speaker in a more organic way

원어민에게. 그럼 만약 원어민에게 조금 더 자연스럽게 접근을 한다면

Less as a student and more with the mindset of hey, I really like this person

학생보다는 '나 이 사람이 정말 마음에 드는데' 라는 마음으로

Hey, we have a lot in common. Hey we can talk about

우리 정말 공통점이 많네, 우리는

XY and Z because we share a mutual affinity or interest or passion

XY 부터 Z까지 같이 이야기 할 수 있어, 왜냐하면 우리는 호감, 관심사, 열정을 나눴으니까

for these topics and

It happens to be that we both speak English and we'll both be using English to do so

근데 우리가 둘 다 영어를 쓰네? 그럼 우리는 영어로 이 주제에 대해 이야기를 할 수 있을거야~

This is a much better way to actually accomplish the same goal. So

성취하고자하는 목적은 같지만 이 방법이 훨씬 좋은 방법이예요. 그래서

Again, an English Learner might approach people thinking that they are a free ticket to English fluency

다시, 영어 학습자들은 사람들이 영어실력 향상을 도와줄 무료 티켓이라고 생각하면서 그들에게 접근하기도 해요.

Whereas a native English speaker will approach people

반면에 영어 원어민들은 사람들에게 이렇게 접근을 합니다

with the mindset of

이런 마음가짐을 가지고

Let me get to know good people

좋은 사람들과 친분을 쌓고 싶어

For good reasons and it just so happens that we're using English

좋은 이유로, 어쩌다 보니 우리는 영어를 쓰게 됐어

so I encourage you to think more about how you could approach people in the second way another way that

그래서 저는 당신이 두 번째 방법으로 어떻게 사람들에게 접근을 할 수 있는 지 조금 더 생각을 해봤으면 좋겠어요. 영어 학습자들이 원어민과 다르게 생각하는 또 다른 방식은

English learners

and think differently than native english-speakers is that you put yourself down when you make a mistake if you make a mistake in English you

실수를 했을 때 자신을 깎아 내린다는 점이예요. 만약 당신이 영어 실수를 한다면, 장신은

Often say oh my English is so bad or I'm so sorry for my English and a native English speaker

종종 '하, 나 영어 너무 못해' 혹은 '영어 못해서 미안 ㅜ'이라고 말하곤 합니다. 그렇지만, 원어민들은

Will usually just let it go or say Oh, oops. I made a mistake or maybe not even say anything. They might not even

보통 그냥 넘어가거나 'Oh, oops', '나 실수했다'라고 하거나 아무 말도 안할 수도 있어요. 웁스나 실수했다는 말도 안하죠.

Say oops I made a mistake. They might just correct themselves and keep going or not even correct themselves

그냥 실수를 고치거나, 계속하거나 실수를 고치지 않을 때도 있어요.

Just keep going because a native English speaker is not as focused on perfection in

그냥 계속 합니다. 왜냐하면 원어민들은

Their English speaking. They're often much more focused on the meaning or

Communicating or expressing themselves simply talking speaking

Having a good time talking with their friends and if they make a grammar mistake if they make a pronunciation

Mistake if they stutter. These are all

super

Normal things that happen every single day for most native English speakers, and we don't lose our self-esteem

Usually because of it. We just simply keep on going

So I encourage you to think more like a native English speaker and just let it go

Let it slide off if you make a mistake and keep going stay focused on your communication. Stay focused on

expressing yourself and connecting with other people

number three

language learners including

myself often

Consider not doing an activity

Because we're afraid that it might be too difficult to understand my own example is here in Brazil

I've been living here for several months and there was a

Stand-up comedian that I was interested in seeing I was interested in seeing the performance

But it was all in Portuguese and really fast speaking for native speakers and I almost didn't go because I was afraid I wouldn't

understand but I said

You know what if I'm going to improve my portuguese?

And if I want to be part of society, I have to get out and do things that I think might be fun

even if I'm a little worried I won't understand so I went and you know what I

didn't understand hardly anything, but that's okay because when we put ourselves in

Uncomfortable difficult challenging situations. It only helps us grow

It is difficult in the moment

but I think as long as we stay positive and understand that this is part of our journey part of our

Growth part of our experience. It's okay. Just be patient with yourself

So think more like a native speaker who might say, hey, you know

I am gonna go to this lecture on

astrophysics or this TEDx talk on

Technology

And I might not understand everything but that's okay because it will open my eyes and open my mind

To some new ideas new vocabulary and maybe new friends too number four

English learners often have this kind of cloud hanging over their heads an imaginary cloud

but they often feel I've noticed I've perceived that they feel like

they're not as good as native English speakers, and this is

actually quite

opposite quite

quite strange to me because the world actually has

many many times more

Non-native English speakers than native English speakers. So English has become your language

non-native English speakers English learners

English is now a global language or it should be it should be owned by the

Majority and so if you're thinking that you'll never be as good as a native speaker

just turn that thought around turn it on its head but think more like

This is a language that is shared with

Millions of people around the world and we need to make it work for all of us

So don't believe that you are in any way inferior, just because you didn't grow up speaking English as your first language

Finally as an English Learner

Sometimes to focus on or dwell on what you don't know yet

Oh, I don't understand the past perfect. So I just can't speak English at all

No, not at all native English speakers. Don't focus on what they don't understand in English grammar. In fact

many native English speakers don't understand the past perfect either and they don't use it correctly, but that doesn't keep us from

Speaking English every single day. So

you is what you do know and

Improve little by little each day on what you don't know

just to recap first of all try to approach people as

People and not just opportunities for practice

Stop thinking

My English is bad and just keep going if you make a mistake do everything you want to do

even if the English involved might be a little difficult believe that you are just as good as any native English speaker and

focus on what you do know and what you can use to communicate this can

include body language gestures a smile so you can actually communicate with very

little language and each day

We are improving little by little hope that you enjoy these English tips on how to think more like a native English speaker
