everyone and welcome back to english with lucy today
0:13
i am going to talk to you about the four things that you need
0:16
to study every single day
0:18
if you want to improve your english quickly
0:21
in a short period of time now
0:24
i have made quite a few videos about
0:27
how you can incorporate and
0:29
integrate english into your daily life but
0:32
this video is going to take it a step further throughout
0:35
this video i am going to answer
0:37
loads of the most popular
0:39
questions that you put underneath
0:41
all of my videos
0:42
questions like how do I know which
0:46
vocabulary I should learn or
0:48
how can I know where
0:50
to start with grammar what
0:52
order do I go in there are so many YouTube videos out there but
0:56
I don't know which
0:57
order to follow or questions
0:59
like how often should i schedule classes
1:02
with teachers or another
1:04
really important question what's
1:06
more important grammar or pronunciation should
1:09
I learn grammar first and then perfect my pronunciation
1:12
or should I speak English with perfect pronunciation and
1:16
bad grammar which should I do first I'm
1:18
going to be discussing all of that with you today so
1:21
let's get started the
1:23
first thing that you should study
1:25
every single day if you want to become fluent
1:28
quickly its pronunciation with
1:32
pronunciation practice makes perfect which
1:35
is why I'm asking you to do it every
1:37
single day and my
1:38
honest professional opinion is that pronunciation
1:42
should be studied from the very very
1:44
beginning I'm not sure about your experience
1:47
with English teachers please comment down below if you've had a good or a
1:50
bad experience but I've seen many teachers put too little emphasis
1:54
on pronunciation and too
1:57
much emphasis on grammar
1:58
I taught in Spain and I saw students
2:01
leave school with great grammar
2:04
sometimes better than my own but
2:06
I couldn't understand what they were saying because
2:08
their pronunciation was so bad and by then that they had spent so
2:12
long speaking with bad pronounce
2:15
d--ation that it was really hard for them to make a change so
2:18
what I'm saying to you is don't
2:20
learn grammar first and then introduce
2:23
pronunciation at a later date
2:25
start with pronunciation the
2:28
best thing to do is just to study them both at the same time
2:30
but really really make
2:32
an emphasis on pronunciation
2:34
because grammar is a strict
2:36
set of rules but
2:37
pronunciation is a lot harder there's an art to it correct
2:41
pronunciation helps with so much more than just sounding
2:44
like you know how to speak English knowing correct pronunciation
2:48
will transform how you understand
2:50
other people once you know how a word is pronounced
2:54
you will understand it when somebody says it to you students
2:57
always ask me why their listening skills are so bad and I tell them
3:01
it's probably because your pronunciation
3:03
skills are lacking you
3:05
don't know how to say the word so
3:07
how will you understand
3:08
when someone else says it to you so
3:10
how can we improve our
3:12
pronunciation well obviously this
3:13
lesson is far too short to teach you absolutely
3:16
everything but I would say that the best place to start is the IPA
3:20
the international phonetic alphabet
3:23
please let me know down below in the comments if you would like me
3:27
to do a series
3:28
on the IPA because
3:29
I have been considering
3:30
it for some time now
3:31
in complicated terms the IPA is an alphabetic
3:34
system of phonetic notation based
3:36
on the Latin language but
3:38
in simple terms it's a tool that will help you understand
3:41
phonetic transcriptions those little squiggly
3:45
weird words that I often put in my pronunciation
3:48
videos once you understand how to read and comprehend
3:51
transcriptions you'll be able to understand
3:54
any word you read in a dictionary I
3:57
have put a link in the description box
3:59
to my absolute favorite
4:00
interactive IPA chart you
4:03
click on each element and somebody
4:05
says it for you it's brilliant
4:07
if you dedicate yourself to learning one phoneme
4:10
or one diphthong each day within
4:13
two months you will know the whole thing so
4:16
practice every day other
4:18
ways that you can improve your
4:19
pronunciation listen to how native speak that's
4:23
a given and also
4:25
do some research on the differences
4:28
between English accents for example British
4:31
English RP received pronunciation and
4:34
general American once you understand the differences
4:37
you'll be more in tune to the general pronunciation
4:40
of English right point number 2 lessons
4:43
with teachers this part of the video is sponsored by lingo des but
4:48
I'm going to give you highly
4:49
highly relevant information on how to improve your language skills on
4:53
a daily basis yes
4:55
that's right how often
4:57
should you schedule in a lesson with a teacher if
5:00
you want the absolute best you can get you need to do every single
5:04
day now normally this isn't
5:06
really an option for people but
5:08
listen to what I have to say because I think it might surprise you
5:11
this video is about what you
5:13
can study every day to improve your language skills five
5:16
minutes on a language
5:18
or a capillary app each day will
5:20
help but it won't be enough on its own weekly
5:22
lessons at a walk-in language
5:24
school will help but
5:25
again progress will be very slow the lingo de language marathon
5:29
is the perfect way to study
5:31
every single day and make a massive
5:34
massive impact on your fluency over
5:37
10,000 students have participated in
5:39
the previous four language
5:41
marathons over the past few years and for many it's transformed
5:45
their lives it's helped some get a new job it helps
5:49
them make new friends
5:50
and it's helped others study
5:52
and work in other countries
5:54
many of them have shared their experiences
5:56
with all of us and there's a link down below to where you can
5:59
read about it on the lingo - website you
6:02
can also have a look at lingo - Instagram
6:04
page to see more inspiring
6:06
stories so what is the lingo to language marathon well
6:10
it's basically a really
6:12
motivating study challenge you
6:14
study every day unless you take the half marathon where
6:18
you study slightly less and if you complete
6:21
the marathon successfully you
6:23
get a 100% refund
6:25
or a 50% refund if you do the half marathon that
6:29
is such a great incentive
6:31
that will really stop you from procrastinating
6:33
the marathon starts on the 27th
6:36
of May 2019 and goes
6:38
on until the 24th
6:40
of August you can take one class per day every
6:45
day that's thirty classes
6:46
for the full marathon and
6:48
fifteen classes for the half marathon per
6:51
month you can join the marathon in English
6:53
French Spanish German and
6:56
business English and it's
6:58
suitable for every level beginner
7:00
to advanced so how do you participate well
7:04
you need to sign up to the marathon before the thirteenth of May after
7:07
paying the five euro entry
7:09
fee which secures your spot in the marathon you'll
7:12
automatically be enrolled into
7:13
a three-month subscription now
7:15
I have a special discount
7:17
code for you and that means that you don't have to pay the entry
7:20
fee just click on the link in the description
7:22
box and sign up with my code speak
7:24
one and it will be discounted
7:26
for you now as if studying every single day for three months wasn't
7:30
good enough don't forget that lingo des will refund your marathon fee in full
7:35
when you attend that agreed number
7:37
of classes each month you'll need to show up on time and you will
7:40
need to actively participate in the classes if
7:43
you book a class and miss it or fail to book a class at
7:45
all you can still continue on with the marathon but you won't qualify for
7:49
the refund places in the marathon are limited
7:52
so sign up now to avoid
7:55
also make sure you familiarize
7:57
yourself with the terms and conditions
7:59
previous marathon graduates have said that this is the key to achieving the
8:03
refund the marathon is an incredible
8:05
opportunity to take your English to
8:07
the next level quickly
8:09
and effectively so how many students
8:11
would jump at the chance to take an English lesson with a native
8:15
qualified teacher every single day for three months and the fact that you can
8:19
get your money back as an extra motivational
8:22
incentive it's the icing on the cake
8:24
alternatively if you don't think that the language marathon
8:27
is for you you
8:28
can check out lingo as flexible
8:30
subscription packages and book
8:32
a free trial class if
8:34
you do decide to go ahead with the marathon please
8:36
let me know how it goes I wish you the absolute best
8:39
of luck point number three
8:41
grammar I receive so
8:44
many questions about grammar
8:45
people seem to be so confused
8:47
about where to start people
8:50
want me to number my videos and put them in order
8:53
I have to tell you sometimes
8:55
following a strict order isn't
8:57
the best way to learn a language now
8:59
you know that my saying is don't
9:01
wait for someone else to educate
9:03
you educate yourself well
9:05
I'm going to say the same thing again you
9:08
need to test yourself you
9:10
need to find out where you're lacking in grammar skills and then
9:14
you need to fill in the blanks
9:16
the order in which you
9:18
need to study grammar will be very different to the order in which your
9:21
friend needs to study grammar I've
9:23
linked a really good website down below if
9:26
I were you I would go through every
9:28
single English level from
9:30
a2 onwards or maybe even a1
9:32
and if you get a question wrong or if you get multiple
9:35
questions wrong you need to review that grammar topic if you don't feel completely
9:39
confident with the grammar you
9:41
need to revise it you shouldn't think oh well the present simple was the
9:45
first lesson we ever had when I was 10
9:47
years old so I don't need to do that again I need to learn
9:50
the conditionals and the
9:52
subjunctive like a house you need to have strong
9:55
foundations this is all about identifying
9:58
your weak spots and
9:59
making them strong spots how
10:02
can you study effectively if
10:03
you don't know where
10:05
you're lacking it just doesn't make sense but it always surprises me
10:08
how few students take this approach to learning grammar so
10:11
you know what you need to do now click
10:14
on the link in the description box test
10:15
yourself at every single level and
10:17
then write down all the topics that you need to do and then study
10:21
them in order of level and that is the order in which you
10:25
need to study grammar simple
10:26
right on to the last topic and possibly the
10:30
biggest topic it is vocabulary
10:32
lots of students ask me
10:35
what vocabulary they should learn well it all depends
10:38
on what your goal
10:39
is with learning English if you're
10:41
learning English simply to pass an exam if that's your priority then
10:45
your priority should be learning
10:47
the exam vocabulary most
10:49
exam boards will have a full
10:51
list of all of the vocabulary that you need to know up to a
10:54
certain level make sure you have that list cross
10:58
out every single word that you immediately recognized
11:00
and then condense the list of unrecognized
11:03
words and study from that now
11:05
words that are on your curriculum
11:07
are likely to pop up and appear in exams this
11:11
is why you need to read around the subject exams
11:14
usually have set topics you might have to talk about holidays
11:17
you might have to talk about weather you
11:19
might have to talk about business
11:21
growth who knows every
11:23
single day you need to choose a topic and you need to read an
11:26
article around it that will really help you build your topic
11:29
specific vocabulary now what if you were learning English because you want to become
11:33
fluent not because you want to take an exam in that
11:36
case the most sensible option for you is to learn vocabulary that
11:41
you come across in your daily life now
11:43
I've spoken so many times about
11:46
the word diary I mentioned
11:47
it quickly again now always
11:49
have a notepad or a phone list handy
11:51
on you every time you see something and you don't know how to say
11:55
it in English note it down and then at the end of the day
11:57
research what they are in English and have
12:00
that list to study from you
12:02
should make a habit of contemplating
12:04
the conversations that you might have that you are likely to have with your
12:07
peers your colleagues your
12:09
friends your family and consider
12:11
the vocabulary that you might need to have successful
12:14
conversations in those situations
12:15
at work you might be talking about what's for lunch you
12:19
might be talking about timekeeping
12:21
you might be talking about meetings
12:22
you need to talk about what you're having for lunch go
12:25
on YouTube and search for what I eat in a day videos
12:28
that would be a pretty good way of taking in some more vocabulary if
12:31
you've got a friend that likes dog
12:33
training or something like that watch
12:36
some dog training videos with subtitles and
12:38
try and take in some more vocabulary you've
12:40
got to be so proactive in
12:42
the way that you approach learning
12:44
vocabulary because there is so much to learn start with what you really need
12:48
and what you think you'll be able to practice frequently
12:50
and then slowly expand
12:52
to things that you are less interested
12:54
in or less likely to use right
12:56
that's it for today's lesson I hope you enjoyed it and I really hope
13:00
you learned something don't forget
