1

00:06
way to learn English?
2

...quite often in response to advertisements
3
8700
3600
00:12
and things they've seen on the internet
4
12300
3000
00:15
promising to teach English
5
15300
2400
00:17
and to make you fluent in just a few weeks.
6

First of all can I say that it is not possible...
7
21960
3060
00:25
you cannot learn English fluently
8
25020
3360
00:28
in just a few weeks...
9
28380
2460
00:30
because that is not many lessons...
10
30840
2880
00:33
that is not much time to pick up
11
33720
3000
00:36
all the basic rules
12
36720
2040
00:38
and also to gain all of the vocabulary
13
38760
4500
00:43
that you need to be fluent as well.
14
43260
3000
00:46
So my answer to that is 'no''
15
46860
2160
00:49
and if anyone promises to do that,
16
49020
3120
00:52
I can safely say that they are lying,
17
52140
4320
00:56
Just like anything that you have to learn in life
18
56460
4200
01:00
it takes time and patience.
19
60660
3120
01:03
Don't rush what you are doing.
20
63780
2700
01:06
If you try to learn too much
21
66480
2460
01:08
in a short space of time, there is
22
68940
2940
01:11
a good chance that you will give up...
23
71880
1920
01:13
you will quit...
24
73800
900
01:14
you will feel as if you will never improve.
25
74700
3960
01:18
So I always believe the best way
26
78660
3000
01:21
to learn anything is over time,
27
81660
2880
01:24
at a steady Pace...
28
84540
2520
01:27
at your speed...
29
87060
2520
01:29
the speed that you feel
30
89580
2340
01:31
the most comfortable with
31
91920
1620
01:33
and of course as I always say...
32
93540
2460
01:36
you have to make English part of your body...
33
96000
2460
01:38
you have to look at it like an arm,
34
98460
3000
01:41
or maybe a muscle in your arm.
35
101460
3420
01:44
If you don't use it, it will waste away.
36
104880
4080
01:50
The same thing applies to exercise.
37
110160
2340
01:52
If you exercise your muscle every day,
38
112500
3660
01:56
it will become stronger...
39
116160
2700
01:58
and that is the same thing with English.
40
118860
3180
02:02
So the more you practice English,
41
122040
2400
02:04
the more you will enjoy it...
42
124440
1860
02:06
the more you enjoy it...
43
126300
1380
02:07
the more you will want to do it.
44
127680
2400
02:10
And that is the cycle that you must try to get into.
45
130080
4680
02:15
I hope my advice has been useful
46
135840
2918
02:19
and I will see you again very soon
47
139066
2263
02:21
for another short video lesson.
48
141661
2939
02:25
See you soon and of course...
