If you've been starting English four years and still don't speak and tell you a story.
如果你已经学英语好几年了，但仍然不会说，让我给你讲个故事
I recently received an exciting message from a French of mine named Kelvin.
我最近收到一个来自我的法国学生Devin，令人兴奋的消息。
He told me he had moved to New Zealand ,and that he was an finally English speaker.
他告诉我他刚搬到新西兰，他终于会说英语了
He was having conversations with random people in parks, asking for advice, and even chitchatting and ordering food with no problem at restaurant.
他在公园随意与人交谈，询问意见，甚至在餐馆里毫无问题地闲聊和点菜
Now the reason Kevin was so excited is because he had studied English for years, but was always struggling with the fear of speaking.
Kevin如此兴奋的原因是因为他学了很多年的英语，但总是害怕说英语
he said he wanted to be a confident speaker, but that he is a shyness held him back from having real conversations.
他说他真的想自信说英语，但是他的害羞阻碍了他进行真正的英语对话。
Do worries ever stop you from speaking.
你的担忧会阻碍你说英语吗？
Well, to overcome his problem Kevin tried living in Ireland for three months.
为了克服这个问题，Kevin尝试在爱尔兰住了三个月
But he said being in an English speaking country only improved his reading, writing and listening.
但他说，身处英语国家只会提高他的阅读，写作和听力
he had trouble with even the simplest conversations, and he began to wonder that he would never become a good English speaker.
他甚至连最简单的对话都有困难，他开始怀疑自己永远也说不好英语了。
But she was so determined to get to fluent that he decided to try one more time in New Zealand.
但是，他下定决心要讲一口流利的英语，所以他决定在新西栏现试一次
and during the long flight between Paris and Auckland, he discovered something amazing.
在巴黎和奥克兰之间的长途飞行中，他意识到一些惊人的事情：
Speaking is 50% language skills and 50% mindset.
口语是50%的语言技能和50%的心态
He finally understood this very important lesson I had been teaching to him.
realizing this, he took the incredibly tiny step of turning to the present next to him and saying, how are you?
and those three words triggered the longest English conversation.
I share the story because, like a Kevin, you're much closer to fluency than you might think.
You just need to discover your speaking breakthrough to unlock your voice and the finally become confident fluent English speaker.
