How I Teach My Daughter English - Phrasal Verbs In Context

alright re ready ready ready well this is my daughter Aria you could say hello

hello and she was on the channel a while ago I think but she hasn't been on for a

while but I thought a great way for you to see

how I help people learn not only adult learners but anybody else is just how I

work with my own daughter and really it's not working or you know actual

lessons we just try to find a way to practice speaking with whatever we have

and so typically we'll just play with toys or something and the lesson will

just kind of come from that even though I have maybe specific agony of your mind

of what I'd like to keep but re what are you working on over here so today like

we've got some Legos over here and a lot of it is physical actions so I can teach

her lots of phrasal verbs and as I'm going through these you'll get to see

how it works did you drop something yes what did you drop baby a baby you

dropped a baby this one here you are now you say thank you

oh no you dropped it again oh there he is what should we make do you want to

make something here lookey make this make what do you want to make a beach do

you want to take it apart take apart so she's starting to learn

phrasal verbs things like take apart but I show her the physical usage of that

can you take this apart what do you do Wow are you took apart yeah he took this

apart to take apart you're going to put it together no you want to make a beach

or a pool with that make a pool where do you want to put it right here okay you

can do it can you put it together yeah no yeah why not whoa whoa okay you can

do it you're going to break it ah there you go if you want to break it apart

like this you try break apart so hold here and break

Oh break apart break apart so she is slowly learning the the different ways

we speak but mostly when people are teaching their younger children like

this so I'm just teaching her in regular English it's mostly phrasal verbs we use

and that's why I teach phrasal verbs to adults especially non-native learners

because they're so important and it's so such a necessary thing for people

learning this is really the way we communicate conversationally and that's

why you need to learn phrasal verbs so we've already done a few of them and for

the repetition for her we just practice these things over and over and over

again so what are you doing right now what's that ah hair yes it some hair I'm

here from a Lego piece right here do you want to put the hair on the lobster no

Mia on Mia where's Mia Mia I think Mia is someplace else we don't have Mia here

though you can put it put the hair on on somebody else do you want to do somebody

else we got a different character like Alice from Alice in Wonderland you want

to change the hair should we put on put on different hair er thank you

kinky you're welcome all right you can do it put on what

almost almost and ah very good yeah so now you put on different hair so

we read books and other things that that give her the same kind of vocabulary but

in different ways of a book talking about putting on clothes or taking off

clothes or doing something you want to drink okay take a sip a rag

what are you HOT letters you want to do some letters it will be we'll do some

some letters afterward after we're done with this another thing that so she is

already how old are you

nice - yeah that's right so she is two years

old and so you heard her say Mesa which is - in Japanese and so I speak with her

in English and Japanese just like her mother does

why are you drink a lot Wow was that delicious delicious but because she is -

I've spent a lot more you want more water what do you say well more more

please that's right please is a magic word

more please so when you're working with someone like especially a native speaker

they're often introducing things and easier way first or a slower way so I

say do you want to play this so I practice with her do you want this

but after some time we say do you wanna do you want to run do you want to go do

you want to play you want to play and then she will learn that also the same

thing so I want to but typically we're learning it's almost the opposite way

for a native child so they're learning the the way of expressing like wanna and

gonna and then after that they learn how to do it the correct way in school but

again that's why we teach the opposite way and I have to do those things when

I'm teaching adult learners go ahead Toto in English

take off very good so again she's using the phrasal verb to take something off

so which one do you want to take off this one you can do it here I'll hold

this you can take off that piece can you do it right here this one what right

here what take off now you took that piece off so she learns the present in

the past and all of the different tenses in context like that tomorrow take off

the bubbles you're going to take off this one you can do it I'll hold this

piece take it off or almost here you go I'll help you out all right can you do

it take off that's free and you can take off this one

you're going to put it down all right put them down right there very good do

you want to make something should we make something you want to make a tree

make a tree which one are you going to make the make the ocean again and often

the we don't have a specific plan about what I'm going to teach or something we

just go wherever the lesson happens to be so if she's moving something around

I'm going again you're going to make the beach again where you want it you want

to make this one we have to put it together

so you can see I'm also speaking more quickly because she understands the

patterns of what I'm saying so it's really the same speed I use when

I speak with her now it's faster and it's the normal speed

that I use when I'd be speaking with some regular adult friends of mine but

I'm just using more simple language above it you don't put that in your

mouth you don't want to swallow that thing so I had her start no no no don't

put that one in your mouth either do you want to eat that no don't eat that don't

eat that why not you don't want to eat that because you

could choke you don't want to eat that she is uh no no no no you can pretend

remember you pretend but you don't eat it okay good I have a kiss ah quick kiss

I need I need a better kisser than that oh thank you thank you well do you have

anything more you want to tell people you want to say bye bye are you finished

we don't want to make her sit here for too long because she likes to play with

something and then run and do something else do you want to say bye-bye

well you got to see like a happy Bubba up there see you see everything like

that yeah well she is just learning to be a YouTube celebrity so she might take

a little bit of time but if you're interested in seeing more about the

different things we do this is again just moving the table over here and

trying this for the first time did you have fun it was fun what should we do

next you want to make a tree mega tree like this tree over here okay okay we

can make a tree well we are will finish up with that and well thank you very

much thank you yeah well thank you you're welcome I'm not saying this home

alone is great that's right we can make the tree after

that so her language ability is coming along very well and I'm teaching her to

read and write as well and again if you want to see more videos about specific

things or how I teach her or other things like that let me know but we will
