Transcriber: Phuong Cao Reviewer: Peter van de Ven

00:22

For the past 20 years,

00:24

I've been helping Malaysian and other Southeast Asians

00:27

to speak better English.

00:30

And through training thousands of Southeast Asians,

00:34

I've discovered a very surprising truth.

00:38

I've discovered that how well somebody communicates in English

00:43

actually has very little to do with their English level.

00:46

It has a lot to do with their attitude towards English.

00:52

There are people out there who have a very low level of English,

00:56

and they can communicate very, very well.

00:58

One of them that I remember was a student, a participant of mine named Faizal.

01:02

He was a factory supervisor -

01:05

English level very, very low -

01:07

but this guy could just sit and listen to anybody,

01:11

very calmly, clearly,

01:12

and then he could respond,

01:15

absolutely express his thoughts beautifully,

01:19

at a very low level of English.

01:21

So, today I want to share with you

01:23

what is so different about people like Faizal?

01:27

How do they do it?

01:29

And second of all,

01:30

why is this so important not only to you,

01:33

but to your children, to your community, and to the future of Malaysia?

01:37

And third of all,

01:38

what's one thing you can do, starting today,

01:41

if you want to speak with that calm, clear confidence

01:45

that people like Faizal have.

01:47

First of all,

01:49

what is so different?

01:50

How do people like Faizal do it?

01:53

To answer that question,

01:54

I'm going to take you back about 10 years, okay?

01:56

I was training staff at that time,

01:59

and my daughter, at that time, was taking piano lessons.

02:03

And I started to notice two really strong similarities

02:08

between my daughter's attitude or thinking towards playing the piano

02:14

and a lot of Malaysians' thinking or attitude towards English.

02:19

First of all, I should tell you

02:21

my daughter absolutely hated piano,

02:24

hated the lessons,

02:25

hated practicing.

02:27

This is my daughter practicing piano, okay?

02:30

This is as good as it got.

02:32

This is the real thing.

02:34

And she dreaded going to piano lessons

02:37

because to my daughter, going to piano lessons,

02:41

she was filled with this sort of dread.

02:44

Because it was all about not screwing up, right?

02:48

Because like a lot of piano students,

02:51

to both my daughter and her teacher,

02:54

her success in piano was measured by how few mistakes she made.

02:59

At the same time,

03:00

I noticed that a lot of Malaysians went into English conversations

03:04

with the same sort of feeling of dread.

03:07

This sort of feeling that they were going to be judged

03:10

by how many mistakes they were going to make,

03:13

and whether or not they were going to screw up.

03:16

Now, the second similarity that I noticed was to do with self- image.

03:21

My daughter, she knew what good piano sounded like, right?
