Hey English learners, welcome to this A2 English listening practice video.
0:06
I hope you're doing well and that you're ready to practice your listening.
0:10
Today I want to talk about what makes a good English learner.
0:16
And of course, this is for any language, not just an English learner,
0:22
but uh a good French learner,
0:25
a good Spanish learner. uh what makes a good language learner.
0:30
So I want to talk about four things that make a good English learner.
0:37
There are many more things but I want to highlight four.
0:42
And uh before we continue on,
0:45
if you can understand me in this video
0:48
and it's pretty easy for you to understand what I'm saying,
0:53
but you can't understand native speakers when they speak fast,
0:59
then my listening training is for you.
1:02
So, make sure you sign up for my membership
1:05
and you'll get access to my listening practice seminars in
1:10
which I help you understand native speakers
1:14
when they speak fast.
1:15
So, at the time of recording this,
1:18
it's only $2 a month to sign up.
1:22
It's cheap, affordable.
1:24
You should do that.
1:25
The link is down below.
1:27
Uh, do that so you can improve your listening.
1:31
So let's talk about some different things
1:35
that make a good English learner
1:38
or language learner in general.
1:41
So number one, an interest in other cultures.
1:46
Okay?
1:48
When you're interested in other cultures, this gives you a reason.
1:55
This gives you motivation to learn the language that you're learning.
2:02
Even if it's challenging, even if you're having trouble, uh it's difficult for you,
2:11
you hit a plateau perhaps.
2:15
Regardless of these things, if you have a real interest,
2:21
a genuine interest in other cultures
2:25
and specifically the culture
2:28
that speaks the language
2:30
that you're learning,
2:32
in your case, English.
2:34
So perhaps it's American culture, Canadian culture, Australian culture, British culture, whatever.
2:44
If you have that intense interest in that culture, it gives you a reason.
2:53
And having a reason to learn a language is super powerful.
3:00
This makes all the difference.
3:02
Okay?
3:03
When you have a reason, you actually uh want to do it.
3:09
You don't just have to learn the language, but you want to.
3:14
That's super uh helpful and motivating.
3:18
Uh and it makes it easier I think. uh it makes you have less
3:27
resistance uh when you encounter differences
3:31
when you see that uh the language
3:34
that you're learning uh English for example has these linguistic differences
3:41
that you don't quite understand for a lot of people
3:46
that can make it hard for them to continue on with their language learning.
3:53
But if you're interested in other cultures,
3:57
the culture that speaks the language that you're learning,
4:02
you are more likely to accept these differences.
4:06
These differences aren't necessarily a problem.
4:10
You're actually kind of interested in the differences just like you're interested in the
4:16
different culture.
4:17
So that helps a lot.
4:20
It helped me a lot when I was learning Spanish.
4:23
At that time, I was super interested in Latin America, in Mexico in particular.
4:31
I was super excited about discovering that culture,
4:37
getting to know the different aspects of life
4:40
and culture and it helped me uh accept the differences
4:46
that I was encountering uh with the Spanish language.
4:50
So uh that was uh something that really helped me.
4:55
It really aided me in my language learning.
4:59
And for example, if you're looking to become more interested in US culture,
5:06
if you want to learn more
5:08
and um get excited about learning about the different states
5:14
and cities in the US,
5:17
I encourage you to check out my US Conversations podcast in
5:21
which I talk to different English teachers from around the country about their state,
5:26
their city.
5:28
It's a lot of fun.
5:29
So, that link is down below.
5:31
Next, uh the thing I also the next thing I wanted to mention was
5:36
that patience really helps someone be a better language learner.
5:42
Okay?
5:43
You shouldn't be discouraged about how long it takes.
5:48
Learning a language takes a long time.
5:50
Let's be honest, okay?
5:52
We should be realistic about our expectations. we shouldn't expect to become fluent quickly
6:01
because that's just simply not the case.
6:04
Okay?
6:05
Uh it's important to uh understand this
6:09
and to be patient with yourself
6:12
and to be patient during this process.
6:16
Uh don't force things.
6:18
Don't try to force it to go super super fast.
6:22
Of course, try to uh do
6:26
as much as you can
6:27
so that you can learn more quickly in general.
6:31
Obviously, you can do that, but don't force it.
6:34
Don't get too anxious about needing to speak really quickly
6:40
or needing to understand everything really quickly.
6:44
Be patient, right?
6:45
If you put in the work and you're regular with it, it will come.
6:51
Okay?
6:52
So, don't force it.
6:54
Be patient with yourself.
6:56
Uh you're going to make the same mistakes again and again and again,
7:00
hundreds of times in some cases.
7:03
Okay?
7:04
Uh that actually happens.
7:06
Sometimes it literally takes like 200 times before you finally say it right.
7:14
Okay?
7:15
Most of the time you can probably uh learn things more quickly than that.
7:20
But sometimes you make the same mistake many times, dozens of times.
7:26
Okay?
7:27
And you forget things.
7:29
All right?
7:30
Uh we forget things that we learned in the past.
7:35
And so you're going to make the same mistakes again and again.
7:39
You're going to forget things that you learned.
7:43
So, you need to be patient with yourself.
7:46
Be patient during this process.
7:50
People often give up too soon because they're not patient, right?
7:56
They just assume that because it's not easy for them,
8:01
because it's taking a while.
8:03
This means that they are not talented at language learning.
8:08
It's just not for them, right?
8:12
uh they come to this conclusion but in reality they're just not patient.
8:17
Right?
8:18
I've been learning languages for years.
8:21
It's a slow process in most cases unless you are just forced to learn
8:28
really quickly for some reason.
8:30
Sometimes that happens but most of the time that doesn't.
8:35
You have time. you don't need to learn in two months
8:39
or else uh your life is over.
8:42
That's usually not the case and because of that it takes a while.
8:47
Okay.
8:48
So, uh a good language learner is patient during the language learning process
8:53
and they're patient with themselves.
8:56
Okay.
8:58
Next, a good language learner has humility.
9:02
They are humble.
9:03
So, what does this mean?
9:06
They're willing to be like a small child, okay?
9:10
They're willing to be like a little kid who's just learning something for the
9:15
first time because you're going to get corrected.
9:20
You're going to say things that quite honestly sound funny or sometimes even ridiculous.
9:26
Okay?
9:27
I don't mean that in a bad way.
9:29
We all go through that as language learners.
9:32
We say ridiculous things and it's funny.
9:36
There's nothing wrong with that.
9:38
Okay.
9:39
Uh I have young children.
9:41
My son says some pretty funny,
9:44
sometimes ridiculous things and it's funny
9:47
and we laugh at it
9:49
and he laughs at it.
9:51
He doesn't get all offended
9:53
that we're laughing at something silly
9:56
that he said wrong
9:57
or whatever.
9:58
We laugh at it and we make it a positive experience.
10:04
My son thinks it's hilarious when he accidentally says the wrong word, for example.
10:10
And that's how we need to be as language learners.
10:14
Okay?
10:15
We need to uh laugh at ourselves, be humble,
10:20
not expect to be uh really good
10:24
and um expect to be able to say everything we want to say naturally
10:31
from the beginning.
10:33
It doesn't work like that.
10:34
We need to humble ourselves and understand that we need help.
10:40
We need to get corrected.
10:43
We need to ask other people for help perhaps when we're learning a language.
10:49
We need to not take ourselves too seriously.
10:54
And like I said, we need to laugh at our mistakes.
10:58
Okay?
10:58
If you can't laugh at your mistakes,
11:02
language learning is not going to be fun.
11:04
Okay?
11:04
It's going to be pretty stressful.
11:07
And when language learning is stressful,
11:10
it's often not effective. uh you often don't progress the way you would like
11:16
to progress.
11:17
So laugh at yourself.
11:20
Be like a small child except
11:23
that uh you uh are not at the level
11:28
as other people or
11:29
as native speakers.
11:32
Okay, all of that is important.
11:34
All right, humility.
11:36
Lastly, a good language learner is willing to challenge themselves.
11:42
Okay?
11:43
They need to be able to use content that is actually challenging for them.
11:50
Okay?
11:51
Content that's a little above your level,
11:54
that contains things that are hard to understand perhaps.
11:59
Uh and you do this so that you can reach that level.
12:04
It's like going to the gym.
12:06
If you always lift the same amount of weight because it's comfortable for you,
12:12
then you're not going to get stronger and lift heavier weight.
12:16
You have to put more weight on the bar
12:21
or whatever and try
12:23
that even though it's challenging in order to become accustomed to
12:28
that new weight.
12:30
The same thing goes for language learning.
12:33
Okay, you need to challenge yourself
12:37
and uh use content that's a little bit harder than what you're comfortable with
12:44
and that will get you accustomed to content at
12:48
that level.
12:49
Okay.
12:50
Uh, a really practical example of this is
12:53
that many people just use my normal podcast episodes
12:59
or perhaps they use uh my YouTube videos in
13:03
which I speak slowly
13:05
and they refuse to start listening to more advanced content. they refuse to listen
13:13
to my advanced episodes,
13:15
for example, or they just put that off and say,
13:19
"I'll I'll do that later.
13:21
I'll do that next year."
13:23
Right?
13:24
And they don't do what they should be doing,
13:28
which is challenge challenging themselves to actually um get accustomed to what fast English
13:37
sounds like.
13:38
Okay?
13:39
If that's your case, if you're comfortable with uh the way I'm talking now,
13:45
if you're comfortable with my podcast episodes and you just want to stay here,
13:52
that's going to cause your improvement to um go slowly.
13:59
Okay?
13:59
It's going to cause you to um not progress
14:05
as quickly as you would like to. uh you have to challenge yourself.
14:10
Okay?
14:11
So for example, if like I said, if this content is easy for you,
14:16
start using more advanced content.
14:19
Use my advanced episodes or use other content that is more challenging, right?
14:25
And then of course uh you need to eventually start to listen to more
14:30
than one person talking,
14:32
right?
14:32
That's what I always talk about when I talk about my US Conversations podcast.
14:37
Uh that gives you the opportunity to listen to two people talking
14:42
and not just one.
14:44
It helps you become accustomed to uh
14:48
that type of situation where there's more than one person talking.
14:53
And even just these videos, I title them A1 or A2.
14:59
Of course, I say things
15:01
and I use language in these videos
15:04
that is a little bit more challenging than A1
15:09
or A2.
15:10
But that's the point.
15:11
The point of an A2 video, an A2 listening practice video,
15:17
is to help you reach a higher level.
15:21
Right?
15:21
If you're at an A2 level,
15:24
you should be listening to content that's higher than that level,
15:28
a little bit higher,
15:30
so that you can become accustomed to
15:34
that higher level content
15:36
and reach that level.
15:37
So, we're at the end of the video.
15:40
You know what you need to do, right?
15:42
you either need to uh develop more an in more of an interest in
15:47
the culture of whatever uh language you're learning in your case English.
15:53
Uh you need to be patient, okay?
15:56
Be humble and challenge yourself, okay?
16:00
Use content that's a little challenging for you
16:03
so you can reach
16:04
that next level.
16:06
Okay?
16:06
So, if you want that challenging content,
16:09
check out the links down below uh for my advanced episodes in my US
16:13
Conversations podcast.
16:15
Check those out.
16:16
Those will be helpful for you.
16:18
All right.
16:18
Thank you all for watching this video
16:20
and I'll talk to you in the next
