Well, I recently got this comment on a YouTube video from someone named Yahyo.

I don't understand why I can't speak or write like you, but I can understand almost every

00:16
person who speaks like you in English.

00:19
When I try to speak or write in English, my words disappear in my mind.
4
19840
4490
00:24
What's the problem with my mind, Teacher?
5
24330
2380
00:26
I look for words during conversations.
6
26710
3070
00:29
If you have this problem, it’s NOT your fault.
7

I truly believe that ANYONE can become a fluent speaker of English, but that traditional schools
8
32810
5150
00:37
make communication very difficult.
9
37960
2680
00:40
The REAL problem is that traditional lessons put EXTRA STEPS between you and the English
10
40640
5340
00:45
you want to learn.
11
45980
2009
00:47
Steps like rule memorization, confusing explanations and translations.
12
47989
5261
00:53
So when you try to speak, you must REVERSE these steps, making you lose your words, think
13
53250
5670
00:58
and translate in conversations.
14
58920
2270
01:01
Now, there IS actually a very simple solution to this common problem, but before I share
15
61190
5599
01:06
it, here’s a quick quiz:
16
66789
2661
01:09
Question 1.
17
69450
1070
01:10
Can you name 10 Will Smith movies?
18
70520
2389
01:12
I’ll give you a few seconds.
19
72909
8401
01:21
Question 2.
20
81310
1190
01:22
Which of these 10 Will Smith movies do you like?
21
82500
4369
01:26
The second question was a LOT easier than the first, right?
22
86869
4000
01:30
Try two more questions:
23
90869
2180
01:33
Question 1.
24
93049
1000
01:34
Will Smith’s latest movie is Aladdin.
25
94049
3081
01:37
What movie did he appear in right before Aladdin?
26
97130
6699
01:43
Question 2.
27
103829
1110
01:44
Do you think the visual effects in the new Aladdin movie look real or fake?
28
104939
5930
01:50
Again, the second question was MUCH easier than the first.
29
110869
4290
01:55
So what movie did Will Smith appear in before Aladdin?
30
115159
4691
01:59
An Indian movie called Student of the Year 2.
31
119850
3400
02:03
Now, you likely didn’t know that, even if you’re a Will Smith fan, but can you remember
32
123250
5670
02:08
what YOU had for lunch two days ago?
33
128920
4010
02:12
Even recent things in our OWN lives are difficult to RECALL.
34
132930
4600
02:17
But we can very easily RECOGNIZE things when we have options to choose from.
35
137530
5160
02:22
This is why shopping websites show you your search history, and why a cooking site might
36
142690
5140
02:27
show you some meals to CHOOSE, rather than ask you to REMEMBER your favorite foods.
37
147830
6409
02:34
So what does all this mean for English learners like you?
38
154239
3580
02:37
When you listen or read, you’re RECOGNIZING information.
39
157819
4700
02:42
But when you SPEAK, you must RECALL information instantly to communicate without hesitation.
40
162519
7181
02:49
See why so many people can UNDERSTAND what I’m saying right now but not SPEAK like
41
169700
4920
02:54
I do?
42
174620
1400
02:56
You already know how hard it is to RECALL information, even with things in YOUR language
43
176020
5889
03:01
in YOUR life.
44
181909
1951
03:03
But do you now understand why fluent communication becomes EVEN MORE DIFFICULT when you add the
45
183860
5209
03:09
extra steps of traditional English lessons?
46
189069
3411
03:12
So what’s the solution?
47
192480
2030
03:14
With time, you can become an automatic speaker by learning conversational, spoken English
48
194510
5350
03:19
– all in English – in simple, easy steps.
49
199860
4560
03:24
But because I know you want something that will help you improve your speaking RIGHT
50
204420
3300
03:27
NOW, let me share a secret I discovered about remembering words that helped me become a
51
207720
4879
03:32
fluent speaker of Japanese.
52
212599
2161
03:34

53
214760
5289
03:40
can help you express yourself more quickly and naturally, like natives do, TODAY.
