on YouTube. Hello Eat Sleep Dreamers. Hey guys, it's Lucy from English with Lucy. Hi
1
5980
6730
00:12
everybody this is Korean Billy. Hello everyone, my name is Anna English from English Like
2
12710
5350
00:18
a Native. Hi, we're Joel and Lia. Hello everybody, my name is Elliott. I'm Sabrah from Love English.

18060
6570
00:24
I'm super excited guys, I hope you are too, so let's get going!
4
24630
4010
00:35
So I asked my favourite English teachers on YouTube for one golden tip that they give
5
35940
5880
00:41
their learners about how to learn English. I'm sure you are going to find each tip really
6
41829
5330
00:47
useful. Now once you have finished watching this video, I would like you to go and visit
7
47159
4590
00:51
all of their channels, watch their videos, subscribe and give them some love. Alright
8
51749
6112
00:57
let's get our first tip from Isabel and Philippe from Amigos Ingleses.
9

01:01
Hello Eat Sleep Dreamers, how's it going? I hope you are well. So what is our golden
10
61519
5280
01:06
rule for learning English Isabel? So the golden rule from Amigos Ingleses is to immerse yourself
11
66799
9221
01:16
in the language. It's as simple as that, this is what Philippe and I did so now Philippe
12
76020
6040
01:22
speaks fluent Spanish, I speak fluent English. So he came to live in Spain, I moved to Cambridge
13
82060
6000
01:28
and this meant an incredible boost for our language learning process. Didn't it Philippe?
14
88060
7020
01:35
All you have to do is get deep into the language and the culture. Yes, immerse yourself, but
15
95080
6389
01:41
you don't always have to travel to immerse yourself. You could also immerse yourself
16
101469
5281
01:46
from your own country and integrate English into your daily routine. So that means listening
17
106750
5120
01:51
to music in English, going to watch films in English, going to meet-ups and meeting
18
111870
6440
01:58
native speakers and practising your English with them. Using all the resources on the
19
118310
5519
02:03
Internet to improve your English. So there's no excuse really, you can immerse yourself
20
123829
6891
02:10
by travelling or staying in your own country. Yes and if everything fails and you are single
21
130720
6820
02:17
just find yourself an English husband or an English wife. That's pretty convenient and
22
137540
5930
02:23
cheap. I'm not cheap. Ok, everyone thank you. Thank you Tom and the dreamers. Take care,
23
143470
8920
02:32
bye bye.
24
152390
1000
02:33
Thank you so much Isabel and Philippe. Yes, I love that tip. Immerse yourself in the language
25
153390
5239
02:38
wherever you are in the world. One idea that I always tell my students is to turn their
26
158629
5901
02:44
phones from their native language into English so that they get used to looking at English
27
164530
5900
02:50
all the time. Because how often do we look at our phones? I mean, too many times in the
28
170430
4710
02:55
day and so if you've got your phone in English then you're having that contact with English
29
175140
6629
03:01
every day, almost all day. Now it might be a bit tricky to begin with but you'll get
30
181769
4280
03:06
used to it. I did that when I lived in Spain and Argentina. I turned my phone into Spanish.
31
186049
4231
03:10
It was great, really useful. And yes, if all else fails, yeah. Find an English partner.
32
190280
8600
03:18
Alright who is next?
33
198880
1060
03:19
Hey guys, it's Lucy from English with Lucy. The top tip that I'd like to share with you
34
199940
5290
03:25
today is fake it till you make it. If you feel shy or if you feel unconfident while
35
205230
6890
03:32
speaking English, pretend that you are confident, pretend that you know what you are talking
36
212120
5399
03:37
about until you actually do. It's something that helps me a lot with public speaking.
37
217519
5231
03:42
I know have to speak sometimes in public and I always go up, I pretend I'm confident and
38
222750
6390
03:49
slowly but surely I start to feel more confident. So that's my tip for you today, I hope you
39
229140
5100
03:54
find it useful. Thank you very much Lucy, yes confidence is such an issue especially
40
234240
5579
03:59
for learners of, well learners of any language but particularly learners of English. So this
41
239819
4650
04:04
could be a really useful technique to help you gain more confidence and believe in your
42
244469
4981
04:09
own ability. I often find practising in front of a mirror or into your voice recorder is
43
249450
5420
04:14
a great way to begin to build confidence. And then when you are in a conversation, fake
44
254870
4630
04:19
it till you make it. Why not! Fantastic, ok. Next one! Hi everybody this is Korean Billy
45
259500
5650
04:25
and I'm running a YouTube channel called Korean Billy. So a piece of advice I would like to
46
265150
4510
04:29
give you guys is start from where you are. So for example, maybe you are watching this
47
269660
4990
04:34
video in your room holding your mobile phone or you are watching this video outside, right?
48
274650
4820
04:39
So wherever you are, just look around your self and around you there are lots of kinds
49
279470
4930
04:44
of things, right? For example, there could be a mirror or there could be a mouse then
50
284400
4900
04:49
change everything you see from your native language into English. Some would be quite
51
289300
5890
04:55
easy for you to change into English and some would be a bit difficult for you to change
52
295190
4199
04:59
into English, right? Then start from there and by doing that you can kind of instantly
53
299389
5120
05:04
feel that your English skill would be improved because you would be able to start to speak
54
304509
5321
05:09
in English about things around you. So start from where you are and change everything around
55
309830
5880
05:15
you into English and then move on to the next level. Well I hope my advice could give you
56
315710
5340
05:21
an idea about learning English and thank you so much. Thanks Tom.
57
321050
5570
05:26
Thank you very much Billy and yes start from where you are. I often tell my students to
58
326620
4870
05:31
label things around the house with sticky notes. So let's say there's a word that you
59
331490
5690
05:37
can't remember. Wardrobe for example, you can never remember the word wardrobe. Well
60
337180
4591
05:41
use a sticky note, write the word wardrobe and stick it on to your wardrobe. So that
61
341771
5398
05:47
every time you go to open it up to get some clothes you see that word and it becomes fixed
62
347169
6280
05:53
in your mind. So start with the objects around and then move on from there. Ok, next one.
63
353449

05:59
Hello everyone, my name is Anna English from English Like a Native and my top learning
64
359030
5280
06:04
tip is to use music. Now music is fantastic for getting information into your long term
65
364310
8340
06:12
memory. So every couple of weeks, choose a few songs that you really enjoy, look up the
66
372650
6980
06:19
lyrics, find out what all the words and phrases mean and then simply sing to your heart's
67
379630
6550
06:26
content. And before you know it, you will have increased your vocabulary, you'll have
68
386180
4350
06:30
a better understanding of sentence structure and grammar. So what are you waiting for?
69
390530
6900
06:37
La la la.
70
397430
1739
06:39
Thank you Anna, very much. Yes! Music is an amazing way to learn English. I've done a
71
399169
4791
06:43
few videos on here with Ed Sheeran and Coldplay helping you learn English through those songs.
72
403960
6120
06:50
I just think that the language in songs is fantastic. You are going to get interesting
73
410080
4809
06:54
grammar structures, you are going to get new vocabulary often lot of sort of colloquial
74
414889
5021
06:59
or slang language. You are going to hear such natural English and in a fun way. Yeah I completely
75
419910
7080
07:06
agree with Anna, music is a fantastic way to learn English.
76
426990
2950
07:09
Hi, we are Joel and Lia and we've got two tips because we are two people. So it's two
77
429940
4670
07:14
for the price of one. Which is a saying we have in our super markets. So our first tip
78
434610
6339
07:20
would be , don't be afraid to throw away the text book and look for alternate methods of
79
440949
5551
07:26
learning like online. You are probably already in the right place. Don't be afraid to watch
80
446500
5069
07:31
British TV, British vloggers and listen to real people. Yep, and my biggest tip would
81
451569
6301
07:37
be not to ignore British culture. It's one thing to learn the English language really
82
457870
4519
07:42
well but if you don't learn much about British culture then it's not really going to work
83
462389
4680
07:47
because those two things come hand in hand. So chuck away the text book, learn about culture
84
467069
5241
07:52
and you are on for a winner. Thanks for having us, bye.
85
472310
4220
07:56
Thank you Joel and Lia for your fantastic tips. And yes absolutely guys, YouTube is
86
476530
5160
08:01
an amazing place to learn English, you have all these amazing teachers at your finger
87
481690
4910
08:06
tips. Start with them. And then also yeah, look at vloggers that you can watch to improve
88
486600
6220
08:12
your listening and your vocabulary. Alright, next!
89
492820
3180
08:16
Hello everybody my name is Elliott and I'm from a little channel called ETJ English.
90
496000
5389
08:21
Now my piece of advice for you today is especially useful for those of you that want to improve
91
501389
5041
08:26
your pronunciation. Now what I want you to do is try to learn things in small amounts
92
506430
5530
08:31
but more often. And the reason why is when we try to learn loads of stuff in a really
93
511960
4980
08:36
long session it kind of becomes a waste of time because we forget loads of stuff, we
94
516940
5280
08:42
get stressed out and the learning process kind of becomes a chore, something we don't
95
522220
5510
08:47
want to do. So next time you try to learn or improve something I want you to take anywhere
96
527730
6390
08:54
between ten to thirty minutes but maybe two to five times per day, if you can obviously.
97
534120
7520
09:01
And really dedicate this time to focusing on one or two important things that you want
98
541640
6710
09:08
to practise or learn. And hopefully you should remember some more stuff, you won't get as
99
548350
6320
09:14
stressed and also the most important thing English will become a part of your daily life,
100
554670
6370
09:21
and that, that's what we want.
101
561040
2640
09:23
Thank you so much Elliott, absolutely. Habit forming is so important when it comes to learning.
102
563680
6010
09:29
Learning anything really, but yeah learning English, yeah. Creating habits for yourself.
103
569690
5800
09:35
I totally agree, keeping it short and simple. It could be ten minutes or twenty minutes
104
575490
4940
09:40
absolutely. Doing it every day, rather than learning for three hours on one day a week,
105
580430
6680
09:47
learning in little bite sized chunks every single day. That way you are going to progress
106
587110
4480
09:51
so much quicker. Great stuff, alright who's next? I'm Sabrah from Love English and today
107
591590
6290
09:57
I'm sharing my hot tip with you all about how to personalise language so that you remember
108
597880
6000
10:03
it more easily. Now learning a language means using your memory a lot. You have to remember
109
603880
5530
10:09
the new grammar forms and the new vocabulary. However it's difficult to do that, we have
110
609410
5150
10:14
to really think and use our memories all the time. But if you personalise the language
111
614560
5530
10:20
you use, meaning make it relevant for you so make it about you. You will remember it
112
620090
4870
10:24
more easily. And this is because we remember things which are about us which are relevant
113
624960
4840
10:29
to our lives. So for example, if you learn a new adjective like to be hard-working you
114
629800
6950
10:36
could think about the fact of are you a hard-working person? Do you think you are a hard-working
115
636750
5550
10:42
person? Or maybe you think you're not. Maybe you are the opposite. Maybe you are a lazy
116
642300
4260
10:46
person. So this process of you considering these things about yourself will help you
117
646560
3920
10:50
to remember the vocabulary. You could even write a sentence like 'I'm not a hard-working
118
650480
5310
10:55
person, but my father is.' And this way hopefully you should remember it more. Thank you very
119
655790
5980
11:01
much guys, now handing over to Leila who is in Venice. Lucky her! And she's going to tell
120
661770
5160
11:06
us a little bit more about this technique.
121
666930
2810
11:09
Good luck with your English guys. Personalisation, talking about your experiences. The people
122
669740
3494
11:13
you know, the places you've been. Let's looks at the present perfect as an example. I've
123
673234
7656
11:20
been to Venice, where have you been? It's no good writing about other people's experiences
124
680890
5780
11:26
because those connections here won't be made. The same goes for vocabulary. When you learn
125
686670
6010
11:32
new words try and put it in a context that you can relate to. So tourist, crowded. There
126
692680
9170
11:41
are many tourists in Venice. There were many tourists in Venice when i went there. It was
127
701850
6110
11:47
really crowded. This method should help you develop your vocabulary and remember those
128
707960
6700
11:54
grammatical structures. Hope that was helpful. Thank you Leila and Sabrah, I love that tip,
129
714660
6070
12:00
personalising the language. So i remember learning a word in Argentina called 'Quilombo'.
130
720730
5180
12:05
It's a slang word, it means a mess or a chaotic situation. Now I went to a football match
131
725910
5300
12:11
where there was a riot, there was police it was very dangerous and I remember looking
132
731210
6140
12:17
in the newspapers the next day and it said it was a quilombo, a disaster. And I have
133
737350
4001
12:21
always attached that word to that moment that I experienced. So i was using my personal
134
741351
5089
12:26
experience to connect to a word and they've been together ever since and so I won't forget
135
746440
6730
12:33
that word because I remember that situation very clearly. And finally here's my tip for
136
753170
5310
12:38
how to learn English. In my opinion the best way to learn English is to do it through your
137
758480
5950
12:44
passion. To do it through the things that you love. So if you love yoga, go onto YouTube
138
764430
7300
12:51
and type in 'yoga class' and find YouTubers that teach yoga in English. And watch their
139
771730
8270
13:00
videos, do the thing that you love, which is yoga, and listen to English and you will
140
780000
4290
13:04
pick up the important vocabulary, the topic vocabulary that's related to your passion.
141
784290
5710
13:10
You'll get their accent, you'll get their pronunciation everything will be there. If
142
790000
5480
13:15
you live in a big city, perhaps you could find a yoga class that's done in English.
143
795480
4850
13:20
Right guys that was an amazing collection of tips to help you improve your English.
144
800330
4980
13:25
