Hello my friends.
0:01
Welcome back to English Unleashed.
0:04
Do you think you can stay focused for 5 minutes?
0:09
I have a challenge for you.
0:11
Today's episode is only 5 minutes long,
0:15
but I want to give you a small challenge.
0:19
Listen until the end
0:21
and see if you can stay focused for 5 full minutes.
0:27
When you finish, write done in the comments.
0:31
I would love to see how many of you complete the challenge.
0:37
In today's short episode, I'm going to talk about a very important question.
0:45
How can you practice English in a more efficient way?
0:51
Efficient means smart.
0:54
It means you use your time well.
0:59
You do not just study for many hours.
1:03
You study in a way that helps your brain remember, speak, and use English.
1:12
Many learners practice a lot, but they do the same things again and again.
1:20
They watch videos.
1:22
They write words in a notebook.
1:26
They repeat sentences.
1:29
They read grammar rules.
1:32
These things are useful.
1:35
They can help.
1:36
But today, I want to give you something different.
1:41
But today, I want to give you different ideas.
1:46
More practical ideas.
1:48
More active ideas.
1:51
Ideas that can make your practice stronger.
1:57
Now let's begin.
1:59
Tip number one.
2:01
Close the text and remember.
2:06
The first tip is very simple.
2:09
Do not always look at English.
2:13
Sometimes close the text and try to remember.
2:18
Many learners read a sentence five times and think, "I know it."
2:24
But when they close the book, they cannot say it.
2:29
So, here is a better way.
2:32
Read one short sentence.
2:35
For example, "I usually have breakfast at around 8:00."
2:41
Now close the text.
2:43
If you're watching a video with subtitles, do not look at the screen.
2:50
Try to say the sentence again from memory.
2:55
Maybe you say, "I usually have breakfast at 8:00."
2:58
Good.
3:00
Now open the text and check.
3:04
If you're watching a video, look at the screen and check.
3:10
Then close it again and say it one more time.
3:15
This is a lot better than only reading because your brain has to work.
3:21
Your brain has to pull the English out.
3:25
When you pull English from memory, you make it stronger.
3:30
You can do this with useful phrases, with short dialogues, or small paragraphs.
3:39
So, read, close, remember, check, and say again.
3:47
This is a small habit, but it can change your practice.
3:53
Tip number two.
3:55
Do short practice, then come back later.
4:01
Do not practice one thing for too long in one sitting.
4:07
Many learners study one grammar point for 1 hour.
4:12
But after a few days, they forget it.
4:15
A better way is to practice for a short time, stop,
4:20
and come back again.
4:23
For example, you learn five useful phrases this morning.
4:28
At lunchtime, test yourself again.
4:32
In the evening, use the phrases in three sentences.
4:37
The next day, test yourself again.
4:41
This is much better than studying the same phrases for one long hour
4:48
and then never coming back.
4:51
Your brain needs return.
4:54
It needs repetition.
4:56
Return means you come back to something again.
5:01
So, do not ask only, "How long did I study?"
5:06
Ask, "Did I come back to it later?"
5:10
English practice becomes more efficient
5:14
when you meet the same language again after some time.
5:20
Not all at once.
5:23
A little today, a little later, and a little tomorrow.
5:29
That is smart practice.
5:32
And here's the final tip.
5:35
Practice tiny listening tests.
5:39
Do not always listen for a long time.
5:42
That's why today we have a short episode.
5:45
Sometimes listen to only 1 minute.
5:49
Play one short part.
5:51
Stop.
5:52
Write what you heard.
5:55
Then, check with the script.
5:58
You may notice small things.
6:00
You may notice new words.
6:02
You may notice new grammar.
6:05
You do not need to understand a full podcast every time. 1 minute,
6:10
2 minutes, or 10 minutes is enough.
6:15
If you study it deeply.
6:17
So, listen, pause, write, and listen again.
6:24
This is slow, but it is very powerful.
6:28
Thank you so much for listening to this short episode of English Unleashed.
6:34
Keep practicing, keep improving, and remember, smart practice is not about doing more.
6:43
It is about doing the right thing at the right time in the right
6:50
way.
6:50
Bye for now.
