10
61360
11800
01:13

14
94440
6760
01:41
all right if you also have any questions as usual  this is a different kind of video where we're not  
15
101200
5240
01:46
really uh talking about a specific I guess I mean  it's kind of about having better conversations  
16
106440
8120
01:54
so what we thought we would do is just talk  and if there are things I can help him with  
17
114560
5680
02:00
or if a show has questions about you know  maybe specific words or you can't think of  
18
120240
5680
02:05
a particular thing or how to say something uh  so the actually the first thing we were talking  
19
125920
4640
02:10
about before we started the video is the idea of  fine tuning fine tuning tun so that was new yes  
20
130560
7240
02:17
for you yes uh so and this is an interesting  thing where he has a uh so she is Korean I  
21
137800
6360
02:24
don't know your name though I can't read the the  huru you you you have to say what your what Your  
22
144160
5680
02:30
an this is the only word that I can y yeah the  only Korean yeah but that's that's pretty common  
23
150640
6720
02:37
here in Japan and that's a net nice to see there  in Wisconsin so we get people from all over the  
24
157360
5880
02:43
world ni enjoying these yeah yeah yeah people  some people are up at 2: or 3 in the morning  
25
163240
5840
02:49
watching these oh yeah yeah yeah time you should  get some sleep good night uh so fine tuning to
26
169080
7360
02:56
fine tuning to fine-tune something so this was  new to him so he already knew uh one use of the  
27
176440
9160
03:05
word fine which is like how are you today I'm fine  uh but fine can also mean like very small or very  
28
185600
7800
03:13
like we're going to take something like powder  so if you look at a rock you might have a rock  
29
193400
5360
03:18
this big and here's a smaller one smaller smaller  smaller we get to maybe a grain of sand and so we  
30
198760
6720
03:25
have kind of fine fine green sand like like that  so it's basically getting smaller and smaller  
31
205480
6280
03:31
more specific so if you're tuning something like  you tune a guitar by turning the little I don't  
32
211760
6000
03:37
know what you call those it's like a screw or  something but to to make the strings tighter or  
33
217760
5840
03:43
looser uh so when you're tuning those things you  can do bigger tuning but then fine tuning is just  
34
223600
5960
03:49
to change its like mold yeah so it's not like a  bad thing if you don't know the word fine-tuning  
35
229560
6800
03:56
because usually people can say something different  in a conversation if they don't know a particular  
36
236360
6240
04:02
thing to say but anyway so that that's what we  thought about talking about today uh and also  
37
242600
5760
04:08
well Mari says welcome thank you sure yeah uh so  if you did you have anything specifically like  
38
248360
6920
04:15
you had a question about pronunciation or or  way you're speaking or word choice or whatever  
39
255280
7120
04:22
uh but as we're talking I can I can ask and I'll  keep my eye on the chat to see if anybody has any  
40
262400
5760
04:28
questions about that okay okay and about fine tun  I have another question sure so fine means like  
41
268160
6480
04:34
small or tiny correct can I say like fine sand  yeah so you we would say fine in that case it  
42
274640
6560
04:41
would be fine green green green means what that's  the it's like the thickness of the sand so we can  
43
281200
8760
04:49
have fine I actually did a video about this uh  when was that a maybe a week or two ago but I was  
44
289960
9800
04:59
talking about uh like so you have fine grain and  you can also have coarse coarse so if we have  
45
299760
6400
05:06
something like sandpaper uhhuh uh so sandpaper  has little pieces of sand on it so you can polish  
46
306160
6960
05:13
things uh you could have fine grain with W which  is kind of good for polishing like we just want to  
47
313120
6160
05:19
get a smooth uh or we could have more rough oh or  coarse grain sand so it's it's more the it's like  
48
319280
8240
05:27
the size of the little pieces of of things okay  then one more thing yeah can I use this word fine  
49
327520
7240
05:34
tune as a vve yeah V well that's what it is so  we're we're going to like we want to fine-tune  
50
334760
5960
05:40
something we want to eat something we want to  drink something we want to play something so to  
51
340720
5200
05:45
fine tune it is a it is a verb okay in that way  yeah see that's good I mean the I learned a new  
52
345920
6920
05:52
vocabulary well there you go and and also like  no notice what I'm I'm doing here when the the  
53
352840
7200
06:00
goal is not to just give him lots of like what you  would call conver uh uh just like conversation or  
54
360040
8160
06:08
lots of like input I want to specifically answer  his question but I want to help him discover  
55
368200
6080
06:14
the answer so rather than just like give you a  translation or a definition of it we want to give  
56
374280
5400
06:19
you examples and show you how something works okay  so it's much easier to remember and understand it  
57
379680
5320
06:25
in English that way so like Christian yeah uh so  like can I ask you some kind of difference of the  
58
385000
11160
06:36
words sure like fix correct Sure tune and sure now  this is an interesting thing people can learn you  
59
396160
8400
06:44
can like learn to do this by yourself and and even  me when I'm thinking about words in in Japanese so  
60
404560
9120
06:53
when you when you're thinking about fix versus  what what was the other word correct correct  
61
413680
5840
07:00
is there any other the mirror uh there could  be but if we're trying to compare two different  
62
420480
5280
07:05
things for example we're looking at uh so  this is called a VIN diagram and so we we  
63
425760
6320
07:12
want to think like okay so this is fix over  here uh and this is correct over here and  
64
432080
5400
07:17
then when when might they both be used for  some situation or when might it like sound a  
65
437480
5400
07:22
little bit awkward or weird or something like  that um so if I want to like uh let's say fix  
66
442880
6640
07:31
what kind of things might we fix just as an  example there there are like different kinds of  
67
451360
4360
07:35
things can you think of anything a machine so fix  uh M cycle uhhuh machine so a machine or like a  
68
455720
9120
07:44
bike bike something like that to fix a particular  thing uh anything else uh I'm not sure about else  
69
464840
7840
07:52
what else might we fix relationship oh fix fix a  relationship that's a good idea fix a relationship
70
472680
6760
08:00
fix nothing bike relationship uhhuh so machine and  so this pronunciation here this is not in Japanese  
71
480920
7480
08:08
this uh this like sh kind of ma yeah it's like  machine machine that a am correct machine yeah  
72
488400
6880
08:15
machine machine machine and so if you're learning  to uh correct or and there's the word correct or  
73
495280
6560
08:21
fix your your pronunciation uh listen and try  to make try to over pronounce it like a machine  
74
501840
7760
08:29
machine machine yeah so we have a machine here  a machine uh and then you can go back to regular  
75
509600
8080
08:37
everyday machine machine yeah machine so we have  to fix a machine fix a bike uh fix a relationship  
76
517680
7080
08:44
another good example of that so would we say  correct correct uh machine and if not why not  
77
524760
11200
08:55
why why might we why might that sound weird maybe  anyone else watching this uh you can think do we  
78
535960
6360
09:02
do we do you think like does it and the the thing  we want to think about uh like these are the kinds  
79
542320
5840
09:08
of questions that if you ask a native a native  can help you with this so a native it's going to  
80
548160
5840
09:14
be more difficult for them to answer questions  about grammar like what is the present perfect  
81
554000
6240
09:20
tense so they like if you ask them that they  won't be able to tell you but this is more like  
82
560240
5960
09:26
a game where you say when can we use this word  but not that word so here I'm I'm I'm trying to  
83
566200
8040
09:34
like lead you to that rather than just tell you  what the answer is but trying to get you to think  
84
574240
5600
09:39
about that so you get that that same sense about  what's correct now the way natives do this is uh  
85
579840
8120
09:47
from from the time they're born so natives over  many years are getting lots of examples of like  
86
587960
6320
09:54
fix correct fix correct fix fix correct correct  correct so they're hearing all these and slow  
87
594280
5320
09:59
they're they're figuring out a pattern about when  to use one or when to when to use like another  
88
599600
6400
10:06
one uh and so you can think about that I'll just  take a look at comments and see if I'm I need to  
89
606000
5440
10:11
get like a like a large you know comment reading  thing over here but let's see if I'm uh pardon  
90
611440
7200
10:18
me as I as I like I don't I feel bad I'm skipping  over people as people are saying hello nice to see  
91
618640
5240
10:23
everybody there oh you can you can also see them  on the uh you here you can use the use the mouse  
92
623880
5560
10:29
uh we got a comment from tar correct would mean  something to do with idea for physical think  
93
629440
7720
10:37
might need other word like fix so correct  would mean something to do with an idea for  
94
637160
5400
10:42
physical things might need or other words like  fix corrective pronunciation all right so you  
95
642560
5960
10:48
can also fix your pronunciation so what we're  what what we're looking for is like trying to  
96
648520
6680
10:55
understand what these words mean and uh I don't  want to just tell people like oh it's this and  
97
655200
5000
11:00
this because you will forget it yeah so I shall  fgure out the pattern yes okay so the point is to  
98
660200
5560
11:05
understand the pattern the way a native would  think about it and so you get that with lots  
99
665760
4080
11:09
of examples okay oh but I don't think fix is used  for the pronation yeah but but natives would hear  
100
669840
8400
11:18
that example okay so a native would think like  oh like you should fix like fix your Let's see  
101
678240
5920
11:24
we can just uh We'll erase this for a moment  here okay so we have a whole lesson about out  
102
684160
5400
11:29
like fix and whatever so yes Joseph another good  example to fix your behavior oh Behavior fix your
103
689560
7400
11:36
behavior to behave so fix your behavior fix  your pronunciation I'll just leave it as Pro  
104
696960
8080
11:45
so fix your pronunciation fix from chaos I  don't know what that is that sounds like a  
105
705040
4960
11:50
good name for a video game though so but you  could fix something like that you could you  
106
710000
5520
11:55
know you could fix fix chaos H fix chaos yeah  so if you have chaos in your life and Chaos  
107
715520
8680
12:04
just means lots of weird things happening or  you don't know what's going on like you want  
108
724200
4880
12:09
to fix that and organiz exactly so we want to  organize or to order your life so we want to  
109
729080
7120
12:16
kind of fixing something is like switching from  this to this thing over here so fixing something  
110
736200
6200
12:22
like that now uh if we're talking about like  correcting something so I I I asked you can we  
111
742400
6920
12:29
correct a machine can we correct a machine now  it depends on the actual example so correcting  
112
749320
7320
12:36
a machine like let's say I'm correcting AI so I  would correct a machine and said like no that way  
113
756640
6200
12:42
of doing it is not doing something like you should  do it this way instead so I'm trying to guide it  
114
762840
5200
12:48
to a different way of doing something but when you  fix a machine it usually means there's something  
115
768040
5480
12:53
broken about that thing so correcting is more  like let's say you're in a boat uh and you're  
116
773520
6320
12:59
traveling this way but there's a rock over here we  should like correct the way we're going so we're  
117
779840
5760
13:05
going this way so here we would use correcting  we don't really want to like we're not trying  
118
785600
4600
13:10
to fix the boat there's nothing wrong with the  boat but we want to correct the boat to correct  
119
790200
5240
13:15
the direction of how it's going so people in  like moving in a ship they would use correct  
120
795440
5000
13:20
in this way but if there's a problem with the boat  itself like a hole in the boat we should fix the  
121
800440
5600
13:26
boat if there is a hole here we don't we don't  correct that I mean you could say like we should  
122
806040
6360
13:32
we should correct that problem but more people  would naturally say fix okay because there's  
123
812400
5200
13:37
there's some kind of error there uh that is maybe  damaging or hurting this thing or stopping it from  
124
817600
6360
13:43
behaving normally so you can think about it  like this like your uh in the pronunciation
125
823960
5560
13:49
example to if you think about yourself kind of  like a machine a like fixing your pronunciation  
126
829520
10960
14:00
means there's there's maybe like something wrong  with you there's like a problem with what you're  
127
840480
4680
14:05
doing uh but correcting your pronunciation is  maybe you say something like this but really  
128
845160
5240
14:10
you should say it like this so we're going to do  a slight change in how your your pronunciation is  
129
850400
6400
14:16
so you say like I I like this but you're maybe  you say like I like I like that like you don't  
130
856800
7000
14:23
know how to say the k sound so we're going  to we're going to correct your pronunciation  
131
863800
4600
14:28
here we could say fix but like fix in general is  more like there's kind of an issue with with the  
132
868400
5360
14:33
thing rather than rather than what you're doing so  there's a relationship there they're connected but  
133
873760
7160
14:40
uh and and even even with this like you still  might not know like when do we use one or the  
134
880920
5080
14:46
other you should still get many more examples  another thing you can do if you're unsure is uh  
135
886000
5960
14:51
putting like a search into Google so if we do like  if I just type in fix uh fix something so like  
136
891960
6840
14:58
fix fix a bike uh or correct a bike so what what  would I use for that and and do you understand the  
137
898800
7440
15:06
differ situation so let just like as a can you  what what is the difference between fix a bike  
138
906240
6920
15:13
and correct a bike correct a bike so what would  what would what would be different based on what  
139
913160
7240
15:20
we what we've looked at so far what what would  be the situation for both of these things fix a  
140
920400
4680
15:25
fix a bike is kind of easy uh so what does that  mean there is some issue or something is broken  
141
925080
5880
15:30
with a bike like like yeah sure so like a wheel  or something yeah so that's to to repair the bike  
142
930960
5600
15:36
sure correct a bike correct correct a bike what  what what does that mean to correct a bike what  
143
936560
8080
15:44
what would that mean So based on the examples  we have so far to correct a bike correct a
144
944640
6960
15:51
bike what correct the bike like for example  
145
951600
7640
15:59
if bike with how to say you're riding it then  correct a way Direction corre that's right it  
146
959240
6600
16:05
makes sense but correct a bike yeah no so that  what you I mean you're you're correcting you're  
147
965840
5600
16:11
correcting the bike As you move it so it's  just like I'm correcting a boat by changing  
148
971440
5240
16:16
the direction oh okay so so in that case like  this is why you could search for something and  
149
976680
5840
16:22
still get uh like the like a Google search for  something like that but I'm trying to help you
150
982520
6400
16:33
that little we could it or we could only use  this one and when we can use both but sometimes  
151
993840
6440
16:40
the meaning is different so like in this case  like if we fix a bike or we correct a bike it  
152
1000280
6960
16:47
actually means two different things so I don't I  don't go to a bike if there's a like my tire is  
153
1007240
5640
16:52
broken or something I don't say could you correct  this for me I say could you fix this there's it's  
154
1012880
6840
16:59
actually broken but correcting would usually  mean there's like a slight problem or an issue  
155
1019720
4520
17:04
or something I think somebody mentioned uh the  word trajectory trajectory means like Direction  
156
1024240
6560
17:10
yeah so the trajectory of something if I shoot a  gun or an arrow or something where is it where is  
157
1030800
6840
17:17
it going so here the the bicycle like I have my  daughter has a uh a scooter like a little scooter  
158
1037640
8080
17:25
you can stand on and push it it kind of lik looks  like I'll draw this very quickly but just like a  
159
1045720
5360
17:31
little thing with some wheels on it like this  a scooter but the The Handlebar over here it's  
160
1051080
5920
17:37
it's kind of crooked so I need to correct that you  said your hand that H crooked it's crooked so it's  
161
1057000
7880
17:44
not straight it should be you should be riding it  straight like the wheels should go straight when  
162
1064880
4000
17:48
you're riding it but it's it's kind of crooked  crooked yeah so it's it's like bent okay and it's  
163
1068880
4960
17:53
not it's not facing straight so the The Handlebar  and the wheel should be like this can you spare  
164
1073840
4400
17:58
it just just uh which one uh crooked crooked yeah  H so crooked crooked is like this it's like okay  
165
1078240
9080
18:07
so not not straight okay not straight yeah so  something is crooked or something something wrong  
166
1087320
5000
18:12
yeah so that's Tom over there new vocabulary yes  and so this is how natives learn new vocabulary  
167
1092320
6280
18:18
where you might not know how the lesson is is  going to happen but you will learn something your  
168
1098600
4600
18:23
parents will teach you a new word so yes like the  the problem with it it's actually I don't want to  
169
1103200
4680
18:27
explain too much detail but it kind of works like  this so you have one pole and then the handlebar  
170
1107880
5480
18:33
is on top of it but the handlebar is is like  it's like off so it's it's not it's not it's  
171
1113360
5840
18:39
not lined up correctly it should be like this but  it's bent a little bit like this so usually when  
172
1119200
5920
18:45
you're holding a handlebar the the wheel goes that  way but the wheel actually goes that way so I need  
173
1125120
5600
18:50
to fix that but I could also say I need to correct  that so it's like putting it putting it in a in a  
174
1130720
5960
18:56
way that it should naturally be or right position  yeah so that that's why like we're it it's it's a  
175
1136680
7560
19:04
similar thing like if we're fixing a machine like  there there might be a problem broken with it but  
176
1144240
6880
19:11
uh to correct a machine would be like educating  the machine like don't do this do this other  
177
1151120
5680
19:16
thing over here so if I'm programming a computer  or AI then I want to say oh like we don't want to  
178
1156800
6320
19:23
do this we want to do this other thing over here  so it's not broken we don't need to fix it but  
179
1163120
5120
19:28
we do need to correct it and and teach it to do  something better teach or navigate or how to say  
180
1168240
5240
19:33
lead yeah something like that so you're you're  directing something like in a new in a new way  
181
1173480
6520
19:40
so when you're hearing more of these if you're  unsure about like which which word is correct  
182
1180000
6240
19:46
what we want to do is uh get more examples of that  so chat GPT could be helpful for that like I want  
183
1186240
7120
19:53
to understand uh like fix versus correct and  and that's a thing it could help you do or even  
184
1193360
6120
19:59
Google would give you you know some examples of  something but chat GPT is typically better for for  
185
1199480
5480
20:04
fine-tuning your understanding so we want to think  about like how we how we change something or think  
186
1204960
6880
20:11
about it in a different way uh and chat gbt can  give you lots of examples but it's helpful if you  
187
1211840
5920
20:17
understand how how to learn where you think like  okay chat gbt give me some examples when uh we  
188
1217760
6920
20:24
could use it and some examples when we could not  and that's like it's it's more about spending time  
189
1224680
5760
20:30
with the vocabulary let's see anything anything  new over here as we go I think uh people are  
190
1230440
7920
20:38
going Let's see we had a couple of things over  here so repair yes so repair rep repair repair  
191
1238360
6920
20:45
is like more of a a specific can I can I can I  say something or try can I try give it go ahead  
192
1245280
7600
20:52
repair pant you could oh so you could you could  repair something like no yeah you could repair you  
193
1252880
7920
21:00
could repair a machine as well so anything where  where there's I don't know let's say like this uh  
194
1260800
6880
21:07
this eraser it gets broken or something is bent or  there's a problem with it I can I can repair that  
195
1267680
6080
21:13
thing it's like getting it back to the way it was  before so that's usually if you have some pants uh  
196
1273760
7920
21:21
here you can get a get a marker too if you need to  write anything but it's like so there's a hole or  
197
1281680
4360
21:26
a rip in your pants now we we take patch and cover  that up okay now we have repaired that thing so  
198
1286040
7280
21:33
we've fixed it we didn't correct the pants now  why didn't we didn't correct them because it's  
199
1293320
5040
21:38
not like they're going in a direction or or like  moving in that way it's more getting them back to  
200
1298360
4880
21:43
the way they should be uh working yeah yeah yeah  fixes how you say fix some issues or how mistakes  
201
1303240
7520
21:50
or problems or something like that repair is how  to say some more similar to like recover yeah or  
202
1310760
6240
21:57
how you say make something not back to the yeah  so you can think about it like it's like making  
203
1317000
6080
22:03
something whole so if we have uh 100% or 0% and we  if it it should be 100% like the computer should  
204
1323080
7720
22:10
be working or the car should be working something  like that but maybe it goes down uh and so we want  
205
1330800
5680
22:16
to repair that and get it back up to 100% so just  like the pants there's a hole in the pants now we  
206
1336480
5960
22:22
need to put a patch on the pants and and fix it  and make it whole again so you could say repair or  
207
1342440
6280
22:28
fixing that but we wouldn't say correct pants  so if I go if I go to my tailor and and like  
208
1348720
6040
22:34
if I say hey could you correct these pants they  would they would they would think for a minute  
209
1354760
5160
22:39
like they would maybe try to guess what you  mean by that if they think oh he's like I I  
210
1359920
4680
22:44
understand he probably want there's a hole but  if he doesn't see the hole and you say can you  
211
1364600
4000
22:48
correct these then they won't they won't know what  you're talking about so like they should be doing  
212
1368600
4960
22:53
this but they're not doing that so it's more like  it's like a behavior or something like an action  
213
1373560
6000
22:59
or a way of doing something that you want it to  do but it's not doing that thing so that's why  
214
1379560
4760
23:04
we talk about correcting Behavior so if you're if  your child like they don't listen or they're not  
215
1384320
5800
23:10
being a good kid or something we want to correct  that behavior now in that case we could also say  
216
1390120
5840
23:15
fix that like there's a problem and we need to  fix that but it's the specific the specific fixing  
217
1395960
5760
23:21
is like correcting the behavior going from not  doing this thing to doing this thing over here  
218
1401720
5320
23:27
so it's more like a change or like we're we're  moving into something in a new way repair the  
219
1407040
5200
23:32
behavior is kind of maybe weird yeah you like you  could you could say that butd yeah but it's it's  
220
1412240
6200
23:38
not very likely and that's another thing you can  check uh like checking on Google about something  
221
1418440
6320
23:44
like that so if Google says uh i' like check or  uh com what's the word here so I want to repair  
222
1424760
8000
23:52
your behavior or fix your behavior you're going  to get many more results for fix and few results  
223
1432760
6200
23:58
for repair in that way so usually it's like  there's something broken there but like correct  
224
1438960
5760
24:04
is more like we want to change where something is  going so it's a slight difference and this is why  
225
1444720
6000
24:10
even when people ask sometimes you can use like  here we have fix a bike and correct a bike but  
226
1450720
6080
24:16
the meaning is slightly different so while I'm  writing it oh like go that way instead I'm not  
227
1456800
5960
24:22
I'm not like fixing the bike I'm correcting  it m and so often we will like the there's  
228
1462760
5720
24:28
another uh use of this that maybe is new for  you maybe new for other people um is like to to
229
1468480
9080
24:37
over to over correct to overcorrect what do  you think that might mean to overcorrect how  
230
1477560
10280
24:47
to say for example the parents over correct the  behavior of the children in what way what would  
231
1487840
6960
24:54
that mean you should do it you should do it this  is this is correct you should do it so you think  
232
1494800
6880
25:01
they're getting too angry yeah too angry or too  how to say they're pushing too hard too yeah  
233
1501680
4920
25:06
pressure or how you say they don't the parents  don't respect CH children's kids idea or I see  
234
1506600
9440
25:16
something like that yeah overcorrect is a it's  it's a different that that's kind of correcting  
235
1516040
5160
25:21
maybe too much but this term overcorrect usually  it means and we can use this actually in different  
236
1521200
7520
25:28
different situations uh but let's say I'm I'm  uh I'm flying a an airplane and I'm going this  
237
1528720
7440
25:36
direction but there's some wind blowing over  here so the wind is pushing me this way so like  
238
1536160
6080
25:42
if I want to actually go straight or I want to go  in a different direction I need to over correct  
239
1542240
6640
25:48
forgetting where we want to go because the wind  is pushing me back this way so it's a it's a way  
240
1548880
5520
25:54
of like like another example would be um you  probably seen these before it's like a little  
241
1554400
5600
26:00
ball that swings on a like a string like this a  pendulum it's called a pendulum uh and so often  
242
1560000
8640
26:08
like in in society in general like people might  do something too much and now there's a correction  
243
1568640
5800
26:14
it like kind of goes back or it overcorrects it  goes back to the other way or if I'm driving and  
244
1574440
5560
26:20
I think I'm going to go off the road I might  like overcorrect and really go the opposite  
245
1580000
4480
26:24
way off the other side of something so instead of  just correcting like the to correct so I I should  
246
1584480
8000
26:32
be going this way this is correct but uh maybe I I  start my car is moving this way and now I'm going  
247
1592480
6560
26:39
this way and I get nervous and so oh now I over  correct so I go past correction to start driving  
248
1599040
6920
26:45
up this way instead it's like more how you say  put more effort or yeah energy or something to  
249
1605960
6040
26:52
correct something means overr but you're doing it  too much okay too much is it positive or negative  
250
1612000
5560
26:57
well usually usually it's it's negative because  I I should be here so if I start driving this  
251
1617560
5800
27:03
way but I should be here like this is correcting  my behavior from here to here I want to correct  
252
1623360
5920
27:09
correct where I'm going but if I keep going now  I'm going too far that way so I overcorrected  
253
1629280
6560
27:15
oh so you could do that like in your life maybe  you're uh you you're studying a lot because you  
254
1635840
6880
27:22
want to practice for a test or something uh but  then like you think okay I'm not doing so well  
255
1642720
7400
27:30
I I I should not see my family at all or I should  not like eat or any like you're doing it too much  
256
1650120
5280
27:35
you're overcorrect a so we want to we want to  do the correct thing but not too too much too  
257
1655400
5760
27:41
much so often we overcorrect like a you know  like a missile system when a when a missile is  
258
1661160
5600
27:46
fired like that it has a particular Target uh but  the missile itself is designed like if the wind  
259
1666760
5600
27:52
blows it this way it's designed to correct itself  but if it if it moves too far that way it over Ed  
260
1672360
7440
27:59
so it's it's not like doing something like you  know like being too angry at your kids it's more  
261
1679800
5440
28:05
like doing something the opposite way like where  you're kind of breaking something as well can I  
262
1685240
4680
28:09
say like uh I wanted to lose my weight sure but  I here you would just say lose weight yeah then  
263
1689920
6400
28:16
I over corrected my diet then I how to say I got  sick or I got sure something like that you could  
264
1696320
6720
28:23
say that now this is this is like a common thing  I hear in Japanese about like lose your weight we  
265
1703040
5200
28:28
just say lose weight so you don't need to say  like we just say I need to lose weight okay so  
266
1708240
4840
28:33
I don't say like lose my weight no no I I don't  have to put my yeah in front of the we don't we  
267
1713080
5880
28:38
don't say that so we just say lose like I need  to lose weight so if you're if you were saying  
268
1718960
4280
28:43
like I need to lose my weight that would all  it it it would mean no people wouldn't say this  
269
1723240
5920
28:49
but if they did it would mean more like you're  carrying something like you have a backpack or  
270
1729160
5920
28:55
uh something like that like I need to like lose  this thing that I'm caring like to get rid of  
271
1735080
5080
29:00
that thing but just lose weight in general is is  usually when people are talking about they're too  
272
1740160
4720
29:04
fat or something that's what they mean to lose  weight yeah so how do you how do you feel there  
273
1744880
6040
29:10
like I I know it it seems like we're taking  a lot of time just to talk about one or two  
274
1750920
5000
29:15
words but like as you you should do you feel more  confident yeah yeah I think I'm like understanding  
275
1755920
6760
29:22
or I'm getting the concept or idea maybe  hopefully yeah so there there's a lot we could  
276
1762680
5640
29:28
I could spend I don't know 2 hours or more looking  at more examples of things like that and so I I  
277
1768320
7120
29:35
could I mean another way you could do this is just  searching on YouTube for like correct something  
278
1775440
6080
29:41
like even just type in the word correct and see  what it shows you or do a Google image search so  
279
1781520
5960
29:47
not like a a like a word search do an image search  and see what it gives you uh but those are ways it  
280
1787480
5920
29:53
would it would help you understand it more like  a native because a native doesn't use a transl  
281
1793400
4640
29:58
but they would think like what is the correct word  choice for repairing something so sometimes it  
282
1798960
6720
30:05
could be correct and sometimes it's not but very  good those are those are good questions and like  
283
1805680
5240
30:10
you know often people will think even especially  even shorter simpler words like fix is a very  
284
1810920
5880
30:16
early a word that young uh children would learn  that very quickly all right let's see if we have  
285
1816800
5880
30:22
any other questions here so ildar says and you can  see the same thing on the chat here if car uh if  
286
1822680
5560
30:28
engine cranking won't start the spark is run out  of the tire I don't know what that means I think  
287
1828240
7400
30:35
that might be referring to like an old an old car  but we don't really have like the spark is run out  
288
1835640
6440
30:42
run the spark is run out to the tire I don't know  what what do you mean IL what do you mean by that  
289
1842080
5120
30:47
Louis says the guest is like me uh in the fluent  for life shaking his head as he learns something  
290
1847200
5920
30:53
new I do that I feel like I'm the person who uh  with you drew GL to hear it yes so that I mean  
291
1853120
6160
30:59
the point is when you're when you're learning  you should be like oh like yeah I get it and  
292
1859280
4680
31:03
and if you if you understand it better then I'm  I'm doing my job so that that's the point and so  
293
1863960
5560
31:09
you can do this by yourself but obviously it's a  lot faster uh when you're getting examples from  
294
1869520
5440
31:14
other people so Richard says I'm going to fix my  English yes so you could say that or I could like  
295
1874960
5240
31:20
fix my English would mean kind of in general you  think there are problems with it but to correct  
296
1880200
5400
31:25
something like typically means there's a specific  thing we're trying to like it should be like this  
297
1885600
4400
31:30
but we want it to be like that instead World  Choice yeah correct World Choice that's correct  
298
1890000
5480
31:35
yeah so you could we could talk about fixing word  choice in general or talking about correcting a  
299
1895480
7440
31:42
particular word choice so like here should I say  correct or fix like we want to like correct that  
300
1902920
8160
31:51
thing it's not really like a problem that we fix I  mean we are we are fixing it but the correction is  
301
1911080
6520
31:57
like more of the important thing cuz we're we're  saying do we go this way or do we go that way so  
302
1917600
5720
32:03
cor correct sounds like more like general or how  to say larger concept like correct way or correct  
303
1923320
6240
32:09
fix fix is a more specific it depends on the  situation though so just like these like if I'm if  
304
1929560
7080
32:16
I'm fixing a bike there's usually a specific issue  with the bike and also if I'm correcting the bike  
305
1936640
6880
32:23
then you know there probably I I should be going  this way but I'm going that way it so it it's it's  
306
1943520
5840
32:29
not like fix and correct are kind of bigger terms  it's more looking at specific examples and then  
307
1949360
7600
32:36
comparing those examples and thinking about how  we might do that because in general like we could  
308
1956960
4960
32:41
fix society and so fixing Society is like well  there are problems with life or lots of different  
309
1961920
7640
32:49
things like that so that's a very big picture idea  like do we fix how do I how do I fix my life so if  
310
1969560
6840
32:56
I like if I if I talk about fixing my life like  maybe I'm I don't know I have a bad relationship  
311
1976400
5640
33:02
with my wife and I don't work and other things  like that there could be many problems uh and  
312
1982040
5880
33:07
often people will speak in a general way like that  so instead of saying um like I need to fix this  
313
1987920
7600
33:15
specific problem they're talking about a general  fixing my life but if they're saying like I need  
314
1995520
5200
33:20
to correct my life like in that case it's usually  mean like I think I'm going this way but I should  
315
2000720
5520
33:26
be going this way instead so it's more about  the direction you're moving in your life so uh  
316
2006240
6680
33:32
try like I I wouldn't I wouldn't just think like  it's a big thing or a small thing it's more like  
317
2012920
5920
33:38
what are we doing is it like a direction are we  repairing something or even if it's many problems  
318
2018840
5920
33:44
um you're still like for for a specific problem  we could think like are we we're going from this  
319
2024760
7080
33:51
thing to this thing over here so it is like a  correction uh but typically it's it's more for  
320
2031840
6120
33:57
like a direction you're moving when when some  kind of uh example like that when you get that  
321
2037960
6120
34:04
uh let's see over correct I'd say change your  behavior yeah so Joseph that's another way you  
322
2044080
4120
34:08
could say that as well so change is also that  same kind of like it's like every day you are  
323
2048200
4640
34:12
moving and maybe you're moving in a good way or  you're moving in a bad way so you can like kind  
324
2052840
5080
34:17
of change change the behavior or correct uh if you  think you know I want to I I want to not do this  
325
2057920
5960
34:23
I want to do this other thing over here so that's  more of like a uh way you think about that if you  
326
2063880
5880
34:29
can sew repairing your clothes is not a problem  says Marcelo yes that's correct uh chat gbt fix  
327
2069760
7200
34:36
my spelling mistakes yeah so chat gbt can help you  with things but also it can make mistakes as well  
328
2076960
4480
34:41
so be careful with chat gbt so I I use it more as  a like for for English and thinking about lessons  
329
2081440
7560
34:49
and writing and things like that because I can I  can tell if it's correct about something or not  
330
2089000
4920
34:53
uh but if it's in Japanese I have to get lots of  examples I might go to Google or something else  
331
2093920
5640
34:59
to to make sure how is his grammar I mean English  for I think it's kind of very nice yeah yeah that  
332
2099560
8400
35:07
like chat gbt will be correct but sometimes it  will it will not give you the kind of response  
333
2107960
5440
35:13
you want or it will say something I've I've just  I've found that when I'm if I'm asking questions  
334
2113400
6000
35:19
about Japanese and it will say like something  and I was like well wait a minute you said it  
335
2119400
5880
35:25
was this and it's like oh I'm sorry I his answer  could be sometimes yeah not not correct yeah but  
336
2125280
6960
35:32
if I if I focus on kind of simpler things or if  I like the better thing to ask chat GPT is is  
337
2132240
8080
35:40
rather than like translating something I describe  a situation so I talk with with my students about  
338
2140320
6480
35:46
this and the the goal is is not to think about  like think through a translation so I begin with  
339
2146800
7240
35:54
English and then try to translate into Japanese  it's more like how do I how would a Japanese  
340
2154040
6360
36:00
person describe this situation so I'll give you  a perfect example and I think I told this on  
341
2160400
6040
36:06
the last video or maybe two videos ago um but I  was on the the tram the Nagasaki tram and I saw  
342
2166440
7920
36:14
it was a poster for like shigang uh photography  studio thing and I thought this was like really  
343
2174360
9760
36:24
interesting so it was a picture and it was just  like an advertisement and had little cute uh boy  
344
2184120
7720
36:31
and girl you know in like uh you know traditional  Japanese something like that uh and at the bottom  
345
2191840
6920
36:38
it said like uh what did it say it was like and I  thought wow that's so amazing like how they said  
346
2198760
8040
36:46
something it's just like turn your memory into a  picture so they're different ways you could say  
347
2206800
5880
36:52
that but if you asked me like how I would say  it in Japanese it would not be that simple mhm  
348
2212680
5320
36:58
like ah like like oh that's like a really like  yeah native and yeah so like I'm this is a  
349
2218000
7720
37:05
situation and that's how how a Japanese person  would express it now there are different ways  
350
2225720
5360
37:11
maybe a different Japanese person would say it  differently and for like an advertisement you  
351
2231080
5520
37:16
want to be simple so they don't want to tell  like a long story you know they want to have  
352
2236600
5080
37:21
big big words so you understand what's happening  in the in the picture here but it's like oh like
353
2241680
5840
37:30
like ah okay like it wasn't even like a full  sentence it was just you know expressing it  
354
2250480
4800
37:35
like that and so that was an example of taking  a situation and learning the vocabulary the way  
355
2255280
5760
37:41
a native would say it yeah so it's still only one  way so I'll give you another example I think maybe  
356
2261040
5560
37:46
I when I talked with you about this before I was  at a uh like Starbucks and usually they say uh  
357
2266600
7480
37:54
like if you're he like for here or to go oh so  in in Japanese it's like like mesu or like you  
358
2274080
7160
38:01
know like Moi or whatever yeah something like that  so usually they say that but maybe two weeks ago  
359
2281240
6120
38:07
uh one lady said n very kajo yeah yeah yeah and I  was like well I mean I you know they know me over  
360
2287360
6360
38:13
there but I just thought like I had not heard that  for like for like for here or to go and so and  
361
2293720
6440
38:20
then another lady said like a day later like Tabu  oh very CU exactly so and so in Japanese that's  
362
2300160
7040
38:27
like like eat and then go or drink and then go and  it means like are you going to be here or are you  
363
2307200
6000
38:33
going to like take it to go and so I just thought  that was like a very interesting it was another  
364
2313200
5320
38:38
example I have the situation the situation is  like here or to go but they're different ways you  
365
2318520
5560
38:44
can express that and so when I'm when I'm getting  chat GPT to think about things for me I will say  
366
2324080
6840
38:50
uh here's the situation like this person says this  person like how do you say getting to know you in  
367
2330920
7120
38:58
Japanese like there could chat gbt would give more  of a translation that would probably be a little  
368
2338040
5720
39:03
bit awkward or not correct like it's like again  like using that correct like it's like it's kind  
369
2343760
6120
39:09
of right but maybe there's something something  incorrect or wrong about it like you could say it  
370
2349880
5760
39:15
but so it's more like like shimu would be maybe  like a better word for that or something like  
371
2355640
5840
39:21
to to get to know someone like nedu or whatever  something like that so there are different ways  
372
2361480
6760
39:28
you could express it but it's better to give  chat GPT more information about situation so  
373
2368240
6440
39:34
like how would a native describe this and there  are different ways that you could get that so I I  
374
2374680
4680
39:39
would also ask chat gbd for multiple ways to say  something so then you can see oh that's that's  
375
2379360
5360
39:44
interesting yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah that's nice  wa but when I saw this I thought oh like I I felt  
376
2384720
6640
39:51
very excited when I see that because oh look and  and often when we're trying to translate something  
377
2391360
6240
39:57
we make it more complicated but it should be  usually simple and usually people find a simpler  
378
2397600
5920
40:03
way to say something but when you translate it  it's less simple so we need to correct that we  
379
2403520
6680
40:10
need we need to fix that so here we can say fix  or correct like fix that behavior I got that new  
380
2410200
5240
40:15
question yeah right now very good what is the  difference between what to say and how to say  
381
2415440
6160
40:21
sometimes you know I'm not native speaker I say  oh what to say oh I don't know how to say I don't  
382
2421600
5960
40:27
know what to say in English something like that  but I I'm I'm not so sure the difference so what  
383
2427560
6400
40:33
to say and I guess just just just now you said  how to say or something like that so typically  
384
2433960
7680
40:41
what what to say would be like choosing between  t different words you could you could say that so  
385
2441640
6920
40:48
I'm going to explain it uh but show you again it's  kind of like this where there sometimes you would  
386
2448560
6560
40:55
only say one or the other but you could use both  sometimes what what what to say more like focusing  
387
2455120
6200
41:01
on the words or something then how to say more  focusing on like phrase or expression well you  
388
2461320
6200
41:07
could like what what to say is more like making a  choice between this thing or that thing over here  
389
2467520
7120
41:14
so if I say like what is the correct thing to  say so what should I say is it at uh in or on  
390
2474640
8960
41:23
uh so I could say how do you say it it's a similar  a similar IDE of like which one of these is the is  
391
2483600
6680
41:30
the the correct uh way to say that thing so you  you don't have to worry so much about like what  
392
2490280
5200
41:35
should I say in this s um in this situation uh or  how to say is again like it's still making similar  
393
2495480
7480
41:42
kind of choices uh but the the difference here  is like when I say what to say it's usually like  
394
2502960
5400
41:48
a specific thing and how is more like there could  be it's it's still some some change or variation  
395
2508360
7160
41:55
like this but like all of the could be correct  okay so what to say is more like like what do  
396
2515520
7720
42:03
I say like what is what is like this is like the  best one or the correct one for this one but how  
397
2523240
4840
42:08
to say something there could be many ways to say  something like if I like how like how how do I say  
398
2528080
6800
42:14
I love you so how should I say that like if I'm  I'm thinking like how do I say I love you to my  
399
2534880
5640
42:20
wife like I could say I love you or I you know  you you you complete me or you are perfect you  
400
2540520
6920
42:27
know something like that so there are different  ways to say that but if I'm thinking like like  
401
2547440
4560
42:32
what to say it's like trying to find the specific  thing I'm interested in so that's why when you ask  
402
2552000
5920
42:37
natives like how how should I say this or how  could I say this they will maybe think of some  
403
2557920
5520
42:43
different ways that would all be correct but when  if I'm thinking about what to say it's usually  
404
2563440
5040
42:48
like there's a specific one I'm looking for the  best choice or correct choice so like if I say I  
405
2568480
5880
42:54
am like I am at the restaurant so in this case uh  I could say actually like I'm at the restaurant  
406
2574360
6680
43:01
meaning just anywhere around that area or inside  it could be both uh but in the restaurant would  
407
2581040
5560
43:06
mean specifically inside the restaurant on would  mean I'm on like top of the build you know if I'm  
408
2586600
5480
43:12
on the restaurant uh but so you you don't some of  these things you don't have to worry so much about  
409
2592080
6120
43:18
what is correct like oh like what should I say for  this or how should I say this like both both of  
410
2598200
5520
43:23
those it's the same kind of idea but generally  if we're saying how it's like like in what way  
411
2603720
5240
43:28
but what is about making a choice about like this  is the correct thing something like that but just  
412
2608960
5720
43:34
remember it's not natives will use both of those  okay so not not that like yeah it's not it's not  
413
2614680
5520
43:40
like I don't have to worry so yeah that's correct  that's correct that's cor that's right so here  
414
2620200
6000
43:46
I would say that's correct like there are like  ways of thinking about it yes that is correct I  
415
2626200
3840
43:50
wouldn't say that's fixed I would say that's  correct okay so you you like made the right  
416
2630040
4960
43:55
choice about about doing something M so yeah so  in general you can say how do I say this or you  
417
2635000
7440
44:02
can say like what uh what to say or uh what do  you say what do you say for for whatever so if  
418
2642440
11640
44:14
you if you want to use both of these the same way  it's like what do you say for and you describe the  
419
2654080
5440
44:19
situation like you're talking to Chad GPT then can  I say like what can I say you could say that both  
420
2659520
7680
44:27
y so what what can I say and I I can even tell  you like different ways of saying that so what can  
421
2667200
7320
44:34
what can you say for this or uh how might I say  so how might I say is like it's knowing that there  
422
2674520
10400
44:44
are different ways you could say something or you  could say what is so what's one way so what's one  
423
2684920
8960
44:53
way to say something so what's one way to say  I love you or what's one way to say where is  
424
2693880
7200
45:01
the bathroom or something like that or you could  say oh what's another way to say that or what's  
425
2701080
5160
45:06
a different way to say that interesting what's one  way what can you say yeah what can I say is also y  
426
2706240
9160
45:15
okay so you can ask it's I mean it's you're you're  asking me like what can I say to do something but  
427
2715400
5520
45:20
it's it it it's just means what could anybody  say in that situation interesting yeah because  
428
2720920
6440
45:27
usually maybe Japanese people use more like what  can I say oh you could you could say that what can  
429
2727360
6080
45:33
I what can I say Japanese language system is some  something more how to say sure we we we don't put  
430
2733440
5960
45:39
you or something like that yeah yeah maybe some  difference yeah so that and and that's another  
431
2739400
5080
45:44
good reason why we learn it in English not through  Japanese so you you also begin thinking um like  
432
2744480
7000
45:51
in in Japanese if I see that example like omash  it's like wait a minute there's no like subject  
433
2751480
6640
45:58
or whatever it's just like it's like if I were to  say that in English I would have to say turn your  
434
2758120
6280
46:04
your memory into a picture or something like  that or from memory to picture I would have to  
435
2764400
6680
46:11
think about it like that um and make it more of  a sentence because that's like the English brain  
436
2771080
5360
46:16
the English structure is like that so there's  always a thing like that but as I see it as I  
437
2776440
4360
46:20
learn it in Japanese it's like like are you going  to eat eat and go or are you going to like n like  
438
2780800
6280
46:27
I was like well yes I will I will but it took  me a second because I wasn't prepared for it so  
439
2787080
6040
46:33
I never hear that from people because yes it is a  casual thing and usually like a Japanese place is  
440
2793120
5200
46:38
going to be more uh bit more formal you know like  I went to the bank and they were like oh like very  
441
2798320
8720
46:47
very very polite at a at a bank like that what  do you guys think any any questions about this  
442
2807040
7600
46:54
is this making sense let's see armano says chat  gbt is training itself so it means that sooner or  
443
2814640
6400
47:01
later rather than sooner than later is going to be  almost perfect I yeah so it's it it should be like  
444
2821040
6040
47:07
that um that's the hope uh but yeah we'll we'll  see the I think the the problem with with chat gbt  
445
2827080
7640
47:14
is that it also it's not only teaching itself it's  being told certain things or like we have to like  
446
2834720
7360
47:22
it it's getting some input about how it should be  thinking or how it should be responding to people  
447
2842080
5120
47:27
as well so it's not completely free to just learn  and absorb information so we have to remember  
448
2847200
6320
47:33
that when we're asking it questions so says IA  improving Oh you mean AI improving depends on how  
449
2853520
7360
47:40
many smart and educated people upload the right  information to the net yes and there are a lot of  
450
2860880
5360
47:46
a lot of not smart people putting things on the  internet to you know it's maybe me so it depends  
451
2866240
8320
47:54
on what chat GPT can do but but yes like usually  I I kind of work with chat GPT and I have to teach  
452
2874560
6720
48:01
jat chat GPT things for a conversation so I say I  want you to do this and this and here's what we're  
453
2881280
7160
48:08
working on and because if I ask chat GPT to to  teach me a language it's not going to be the way  
454
2888440
6360
48:14
I would teach people normally it's it's going to  give me the usual information about how to learn  
455
2894800
5640
48:20
things that actually would not help me but so that  that's that's kind of another another problem with  
456
2900440
5480
48:25
with things like that so yes chat chat learns from  us says Pablo and jaguay if I'm pronouncing that  
457
2905920
5920
48:31
correctly I can listen and understand uh someone  but reply challenges me uh does hallucination  
458
2911840
7000
48:38
mean correction no hallucination means you're  you're like seeing things that are not really  
459
2918840
4760
48:43
there hallucination to hallucinate so it's like if  I eat a I know some special plant or something and  
460
2923600
5880
48:49
I like oh there're ghosts and dragons and  things I'm hallucinating I'm not actually  
461
2929480
4760
48:54
seeing those things around me too hallucinate to  see things that are not really there uh but the  
462
2934240
5920
49:00
other question about uh reply challenges me yeah  reply challenges yeah so they're they're saying  
463
2940160
7760
49:07
they can understand but being able to to respond  to people is is a challenge and and often there  
464
2947920
6920
49:14
there are a couple reasons why this worked but let  me let me give just a very quick explanation about  
465
2954840
7000
49:21
um uh about how practice uh makes it more more  difficult it actually makes it more difficult  
466
2961840
7320
49:29
for for people to prepare uh for conversations so  if you think about we're going to we're going to  
467
2969160
6040
49:35
draw this here um this is like the learning part  uh we could also call that practice as well and  
468
2975200
7640
49:42
then this is where you might use something uh this  is I'm this is like uh I'm trying to think about  
469
2982840
7000
49:49
the best way to explain this but to help people  understand that there there's a difference for  
470
2989840
5720
49:55
for what people should do to practice for for  speaking so when people are learning a language  
471
2995560
6280
50:01
like typically they they learn like one way to say  something so you learn hello or kicha in Japanese  
472
3001840
7960
50:09
or and like everybody says that but people say  different things in in real conversations so you  
473
3009800
4760
50:14
learn one way to say something uh usually for  a maybe a translation uh you would you would  
474
3014560
8000
50:22
get something like that and when you repeat the  things you you are you say the same thing again  
475
3022560
8920
50:31
and again trying to make sure you say it correctly  uh and then you might also have if you're trying  
476
3031480
5080
50:36
to speak with other people even if you you can  speak with other people often you will say the  
477
3036560
4520
50:41
same like simple things again and again so often  people have these problems like say the same thing  
478
3041080
9400
50:50
but in in an actual conversation this the the  real situation here uh it's all different so  
479
3050480
6320
50:56
you have many ways so a native speaker could  say many things that you are not prepared for  
480
3056800
7240
51:04
or uh they might say um like have a pronunciation  that you're not familiar with or like a dialect or  
481
3064040
8200
51:12
something so if I leave Nagasaki and go to Tokyo  or tohoku or whatever people might say things a  
482
3072240
5680
51:17
little a little bit differently um like I lived  in in kilo for four years and so like I know like  
483
3077920
6640
51:24
Kanai Kanai dialect but and so it's different  from what Nagasaki people would say uh but also  
484
3084560
8120
51:32
when you just repeat things it doesn't really  prepare you for all the different you know the  
485
3092680
4640
51:37
the unpredictable things in a real conversation so  what's really happening is like the the situation  
486
3097320
6240
51:43
is more like this like you got all these like many  ways of doing things and so you actually need a  
487
3103560
4640
51:48
different way to practice that prepares you for  communication because this this way over here does  
488
3108200
5720
51:53
not prepare you for communication so there lots  of like reasons that people are unable to respond  
489
3113920
7040
52:00
so people say things but you can't think what  what do I reply with so this over here uh is the  
490
3120960
7160
52:08
reason I'm giving you those other many examples  of things so that's the the naturally varied
491
3128120
4760
52:12
review so naturally varied review is the way  that natives learn the language so they get  
492
3132880
11480
52:24
many different examples from their parent or  uh teachers or TV or whatever so it's lots of  
493
3144360
7200
52:31
natural examples and they're varied and so it's  not just repetition so they might hear the same  
494
3151560
5720
52:37
thing but different people are saying it and so  this is actually what prepares you for for having  
495
3157280
5760
52:43
these kinds of conversations so this stuff if you  think about practicing uh the piano it's the same  
496
3163040
6240
52:49
thing so if I practice the piano we think about  like piano practice and the piano concert up here  
497
3169280
7600
52:56
and so piano practice I'm just going to review  and repeat the same thing over and over and over  
498
3176880
4800
53:01
again until I can do it correctly but I can do  this because the concert is just me doing the  
499
3181680
6120
53:07
thing like again and again but if some new people  come and say hey could you play a different song I  
500
3187800
5920
53:13
wouldn't be able to do that or like hey just start  playing make your own music or I couldn't do that  
501
3193720
5320
53:19
either so it's a different skill than just the  kind of repetition that people do so you need to  
502
3199040
6080
53:25
get more uh examples of how natives are actually  saying that and that's that's what will prepare  
503
3205120
5520
53:30
you for that so if you're just learning like right  right now just listening to my example you can  
504
3210640
5400
53:36
hear some different ways of saying fix or correct  or something but you should also hear other people  
505
3216040
6960
53:43
talking about those things in in real life so you  get more examples it helps you understand that  
506
3223000
5160
53:48
that that's what helps you to to actually respond  in conversations in with or in I don't know in  
507
3228160
5080
53:53
your English learning method and specifically  in this section part yeah uh naturally varied  
508
3233240
6800
54:00
review that's correct in this part should I speak  out or should I focus on just listening yeah well  
509
3240040
6640
54:06
it's not the the goal is not just listening and  often people will say this I've given this example  
510
3246680
4600
54:11
before I'll erase this yeah like best balance for  like listening and speaking sure so the the goal  
511
3251280
6560
54:17
it's it's more like think about using your senses  so you have you know your eye and your ear and  
512
3257840
7840
54:25
your nose and your and your mouth and your hands  you know so you have all these different senses  
513
3265680
5640
54:31
that help you the goal is to get to understanding  if you can understand something well it means you  
514
3271320
7400
54:38
have no doubt about that thing so the goal is  not to to only like listen well it's not like  
515
3278720
6400
54:45
do I listen or do I speak it's what what can  actually help me understand something better  
516
3285120
5320
54:50
so if I say this is a blue marker but I don't  show you what it is it's much easier if I just  
517
3290440
6080
54:56
use your eye and you can see oh this is a blue  marker and this is a black marker over here so  
518
3296520
4840
55:01
you can see the difference here or if I say uh  this is an orange what does it taste like so I  
519
3301360
6280
55:07
could describe that for you you could listen to  me but it's much easier if you just taste the  
520
3307640
4480
55:12
orange so you're using your mouth is actually  the correct way to get to understanding so for  
521
3312120
5200
55:17
these when you're getting naturally varied review  the point is how can we get to understanding to  
522
3317320
4720
55:22
eliminate any doubt d o u BT so if you have  any doubt you're not going to use that thing  
523
3322040
5760
55:27
in your conversation so we have to is get rid of  the doubt and that's what allows us to speak so  
524
3327800
6040
55:33
it's a it's a process of like hearing things and  then seeing them or reading them or just however  
525
3333840
6880
55:40
you can understand with usually you do this with a  variety of examples rather than just one uh but if  
526
3340720
6640
55:47
you feel more confident because you you don't have  any doubt about that then you can say something so  
527
3347360
6280
55:53
even right now if you feel more confident about  fix something like fix a bike or correct a bike  
528
3353640
5680
55:59
if you understand the difference you can now say  that more confidently so you can you can try to  
529
3359320
5240
56:04
speak before that but it's easier if you learn  something then feel confident and then speak over  
530
3364560
6040
56:10
here so usually people try to learn something but  they don't know it very well and then they try to  
531
3370600
5600
56:16
speak but then they don't feel very confident and  it's it's a a frustrating that's me yeah so lot  
532
3376200
7800
56:24
lots of people have this like they they want to  speak quickly and I understand that but it's it's  
533
3384000
4960
56:28
actually faster if you use this way to really  understand something get many examples and feel  
534
3388960
5160
56:34
very confident about it some people maybe they  don't care uh if they make a mistake but lots of  
535
3394120
5680
56:39
people do so I personally I don't like making  mistakes when I speak so I should listen and  
536
3399800
6040
56:45
learn and it's again it's not just listening but  the point is to understand what what's happening  
537
3405840
5040
56:50
there so maybe I see an example just like in  the example of the train so on the on the train  
538
3410880
5680
56:56
where I saw like so this is like from a memory to  a picture I see that I'm not hearing anything so  
539
3416560
7280
57:03
it's not about listening I'm just understanding  the the the Japanese better from the example so  
540
3423840
5880
57:09
in that case my eye help me understand something  better so uh you can speak like I want everyone  
541
3429720
7040
57:16
to speak uh soon as quickly as possible but  it's much easier and faster if you just get  
542
3436760
6520
57:23
more examples and understand something well than  you feel confident then you speak so speaking is  
543
3443280
5960
57:29
the is usually the last thing and then you then  you go on to the next thing so now you have some  
544
3449240
5240
57:34
question about other vocabulary or whatever and  you you feel confident about that and then you you  
545
3454480
4920
57:39
start speaking nice so first understanding yeah  so remove remove the doubt so any question you  
546
3459400
8840
57:48
have the doubt like sometimes I'll hear uh you  know about comprehensible input so that that's  
547
3468240
6320
57:54
the idea of just getting l of you watch lots of  movies or read things or whatever but I'm saying  
548
3474560
6280
58:00
you should get this in a structured way so try to  answer a specific question like what doubt do you  
549
3480840
7160
58:08
have about fix or repair or correct or something  like that and if you can answer that that's what  
550
3488000
5680
58:13
you should do so you destroy the doubt then  you feel confident because you know oh ah now  
551
3493680
5560
58:19
I I understand and that's when you speak so you  feel confident first then you speak yep y I know  
552
3499240
7040
58:26
it's the opposite of what most people typically do  but that's the so you you could a regular teacher  
553
3506280
6000
58:32
in a classroom they will just say Okay class here  is the word and usually they teach this by giving  
554
3512280
6160
58:38
a translation because it's faster so here's like  you say kicha in Japanese and you say hello in  
555
3518440
7040
58:45
English but in real life people say Hey or what's  up or hi or something like that so if you're if  
556
3525480
5560
58:51
you're not getting the naturally varied review the  way the way natives are getting it it becomes much  
557
3531040
4480
58:55
more difficult to understand that yeah because  of that kind of education things like I learned  
558
3535520
5680
59:01
my I learned English in Japanese so I have so  many doubts in my head right now and so that's  
559
3541200
7200
59:08
that's why I'm here I'm here to help and so that  that's the same thing I do for for all the people  
560
3548400
5640
59:14
out there so when when people have questions uh  it's it's better to focus on a specific thing  
561
3554040
6320
59:20
so you don't say ah my pronunciation is bad  say What specifically is the thing we need to  
562
3560360
5920
59:26
fix or correct and so if you have like your  pronunciation is good but maybe you have some  
563
3566280
7040
59:33
specific things you you want to say better or  whatever but that that's how you would do that  
564
3573320
5360
59:38
when how to say people try to understand the  concept or something how to say so we would say  
565
3578680
8520
59:47
how yeah how how do do you you say say how do you  say so how do you say how do you say you you can  
566
3587200
7760
59:54
say like how to say but that sounds more Japanese  what three if you if you say how how to say how'  
567
3594960
9400
60:04
you say okay it sounds like like it's it's less  natural sounding how you say so how do you say  
568
3604360
5400
60:09
it's it's it's more words but how do you say  how do you say how do you say how do you say or  
569
3609760
6320
60:16
you can say what what do you say what do you say  both of those are are just fine so how how this  
570
3616080
5280
60:21
is correct like you could it's okay to say that  but it it's just it sounds more more like like a  
571
3621360
5480
60:26
Japanese person I hear Japanese people using this  but native speakers use this yeah my question is
572
3626840
7680
60:34
go go go means sorry sorry in Japanese  naturally vared review yeah during this  
573
3634520
10720
60:45
period or time MH uh how to say should  I focus on learning like by each word or  
574
3645240
6360
60:51
vocabulary or should I listen to some podcast  or watching movies or it dep which is which is  
575
3651600
7440
60:59
the better way sure it it depends on what the  problem is so for me like let's say I I want
576
3659040
6760
61:05
to I want to have like a I don't know a  conversation like not I don't want to just  
577
3665800
8680
61:14
know one word but I want to know how to talk  about and then whatever that thing is so how  
578
3674480
8920
61:23
to talk about gardening for example M so how  to talk about gardening in Japanese now the  
579
3683400
8160
61:31
the fastest way to do this would be to watch a lot  of Japanese YouTube videos about people gardening  
580
3691560
6320
61:37
and talking about gardening so what I'm going to  see are like uh for specific phrases or specific  
581
3697880
7920
61:45
topics there will be some things that are used a  lot and some things that are not used very much  
582
3705800
5520
61:51
but I will start seeing patterns a lot so I made  a a video on YouTube that's that's this example of  
583
3711320
6640
61:57
things so using naturally varied review to learn  how to make an espresso you know what an espresso  
584
3717960
6160
62:04
it so like for for people who don't know I I don't  really like coffee so I go to coffee shops I like  
585
3724120
6440
62:10
the environment I like the feeling of it uh so and  espresso you can get like a little a little shot  
586
3730560
6560
62:17
of of kind of thick coffee or very strong coffee  um but I don't I don't know anything about how  
587
3737120
7360
62:24
to make espresso so I thought how would I learn  that and the way I would learn it in English it's  
588
3744480
6120
62:30
the same thing I watch different people making  espresso so I could watch one person making that  
589
3750600
6920
62:37
but I get a better sense of what to do if I get  a variety of examples so just like in real life  
590
3757520
7760
62:45
uh like if a child if we we think about a like a  a real life Child Learning a language so here's a  
591
3765280
7760
62:53
child by themselves if the only person teaching  them is like their mother up here then they're  
592
3773040
7040
63:00
going to sound exactly like their mother but  if they've got all these other examples of like  
593
3780080
5600
63:05
their dad and friends and school and TV then  they will they will develop their own unique  
594
3785680
5240
63:10
pronunciation and that's that's like fitting for  them so when you're when you're getting examples  
595
3790920
5200
63:16
about like a specific thing just focus on whatever  that is it could be a larger topic or something  
596
3796120
6120
63:22
like that so like in uh our program fluent for  life we we organize it by topics so you would  
597
3802240
5960
63:28
have a a conversation about I don't know raising  children or something like that or conversation  
598
3808200
6200
63:34
about you know a business I don't know like  marketing or something like that and so you  
599
3814400
4680
63:39
kind of learn generally about that but then you  also have smaller things within that so I could  
600
3819080
5120
63:44
go from a a bigger bigger picture of gardening  to like something smaller like growing roses  
601
3824200
7000
63:51
or planting seeds or something like that so it's  just whatever you are particularly interested in  
602
3831200
6520
63:57
but the the variety of this English is going to be  much better than just like listening to one person  
603
3837720
6600
64:04
talk about that so like there often like what  I do for so again for fluent for life we will  
604
3844320
5560
64:09
have me explaining things because I know how to  explain things well uh but then you will also get  
605
3849880
5600
64:15
examples of other people talking about things so  you get to see how how people normally do it so it  
606
3855480
5160
64:20
is possible to do this um and like examples that  I do for there is a guy in Japan who does Street  
607
3860640
8480
64:29
interviews well there a couple of people who do  this I think but this is when you're when you're  
608
3869120
6200
64:35
watching these Street interviews he says like  what do you think about this but he asks five  
609
3875320
6280
64:41
different people and then you get to hear their  different answers and it's the same thing like  
610
3881600
4240
64:45
some people will use this word a lot and other  people will use like these other words and so  
611
3885840
4000
64:49
you're learning ah okay this is like the common  thing for people to say you know like what is like  
612
3889840
5800
64:56
I don't know what whatever whatever the topic is  but it's the it's the focus and the variety within  
613
3896160
5840
65:02
the focus that gets you fluent because the point  is to destroy the doubt of where you have about  
614
3902000
5160
65:07
talking about something so if I if someone asks me  in English how do I talk about fixing cars I don't  
615
3907160
6760
65:13
know how to fix cars so I can't talk about fixing  cars but if I watched like 30 videos about people  
616
3913920
6120
65:20
fixing cars I could probably have a conversation  about that so that's the idea okay so just think  
617
3920040
6360
65:26
about focus it could be a specific word but often  like if you focus too tightly you don't see how a  
618
3926400
6200
65:32
word could be used in other situations and so that  like that kind of what I'm I think about that when  
619
3932600
5800
65:38
I'm teaching so I want to show you how a word  might be used like I gave an example in a recent  
620
3938400
5640
65:44
video about the word uh or the phrase uh home run  so this is in baseball you know what a home run is  
621
3944040
7040
65:51
like you hit the ball out out of the park but when  else might we use the the word home run what else  
622
3951080
6800
65:57
when when else when else so when when else so any  any other time when else home run might we might  
623
3957880
8000
66:05
we use the word home run so this is an interesting  lesson about like how natives learn the vocabulary  
624
3965880
6760
66:12
as well but so you you understand what a home run  is I'll just kind of draw this for people if you  
625
3972640
5080
66:17
don't know baseball I'll give this example again  because it's a it's it's an easy one to see uh so  
626
3977720
6760
66:24
when you're playing the game of baseball this is  a baseball field and this is called The Diamond  
627
3984480
5840
66:30
it's like basically a square but you've got the  bases over here and then you have home plate home  
628
3990320
7640
66:37
plate so the person standing with the bat is  down here and the pitcher throws the ball and  
629
3997960
6400
66:44
if the batter can hit the ball outside of here  or if they can just hit the ball somewhere and  
630
4004360
5720
66:50
they can run all the way around and get back home  again we call that a home run so it's pretty easy  
631
4010080
5640
66:55
to understand they're like running around the  bases to get back home so we call that a home  
632
4015720
4520
67:00
run but when else outside of baseball might we  use this term home run like can I say like oh  
633
4020240
9000
67:09
I succeeded in big S Sales deals it's like a  home run yeah like that so you can see I hit  
634
4029240
6320
67:15
a home run or I had a home run or it was a home  run something like that in sales or in your test  
635
4035560
6080
67:21
or whatever presentation or something like that  so a home run we get the idea of a specific thing  
636
4041640
6840
67:28
like the the baseball game gives us the vocabulary  but really it's about talking about like a great  
637
4048480
7080
67:35
Victory or a great achievement it's a hard thing  to do to hit the ball out of the park or to run  
638
4055560
6160
67:41
around the bases fast enough to to get back home  so that's where we we learn that and so native  
639
4061720
5360
67:47
speakers they learn about those connections so if  you just say like what does the word home mean or  
640
4067080
6040
67:53
what does run mean you don't really you're transl  or you're thinking about in a very limited way  
641
4073120
5200
67:58
that's why the naturally varied review shows you  different ways that natives might say something  
642
4078320
4560
68:02
or in a different different situation different  context but yeah you you get the idea yes I need  
643
4082880
6240
68:09
to get a lot of examples examples that's right so  you can focus on that and it's easy to do like if  
644
4089120
7800
68:16
you're um like I have a program called the visual  guide to phrasal verbs so you have a thing like um
645
4096920
8520
68:27
so a phrasal verb is something like to go under  or stand up or flip over or things like that  
646
4107520
7240
68:34
it's it's actually similar to Japanese how how  they work but we take something physical like  
647
4114760
5800
68:40
go under so here we have some water and if  we imagine this is this is a boat over here  
648
4120560
5320
68:45
so the boat is oh no like the boat is going  under it's going under the water so that's a  
649
4125880
4920
68:50
very easy way to understand that but another  way we might also use go under is talking  
650
4130800
4840
68:55
about like a company so a company is going under  it means they're losing money like the company  
651
4135640
7360
69:03
is going like bankrupt so that's another way we  would use that so as natives are learning these  
652
4143000
5400
69:08
examples they hear oh go under can also mean  like to have financial trouble in that way so  
653
4148400
6880
69:15
it's greater examples to give you that by the  way that could be nice for people to learn the  
654
4155280
5880
69:21
vocabulary or words by like picture or image  or something like show cryp movie that's what  
655
4161160
5600
69:26
I did yeah thank you so that that's why I started  started making things on YouTube I don't know 14  
656
4166760
6800
69:33
years ago or whenever I started doing that  but that because it's you can actually see  
657
4173560
4320
69:37
you know the image of something happening  or you can compare the differences between  
658
4177880
4640
69:42
those things like usually Japanese people learn  like vocabulary by like English words Japanese  
659
4182520
6680
69:49
words y translate what yep translation  yep I see them on the train every day oh  
660
4189200
6120
69:55
especially like high school so usually it's like  a high school kid sometimes an adult but they have  
661
4195880
5360
70:01
the the little book and there's a little red like  the Shiki or whatever like it's like a little film  
662
4201240
5400
70:06
so you can cover the answers on it and so I want  to make an ad on a train that has that you need to  
663
4206640
5080
70:11
use like you see the the like what I'm saying but  yeah that that's basically the problem so if you  
664
4211720
7240
70:18
learn through the translation then you will think  through the yeah so like when I speak English I  
665
4218960
5560
70:24
first think the concept in Japanese and try to  translate that into English though so your speech  
666
4224520
6080
70:30
is quite fast though I mean are you just thinking  quickly are you still thinking in Japanese right  
667
4230600
4840
70:35
now or sometimes some it depends uh yeah but I  noce I realize there are so many like Japanese  
668
4235440
7480
70:42
English in my English so so it's just it's it's  nothing wrong with you it's just where you got  
669
4242920
5440
70:48
the like where you got the input so if it's like  a Japanese teacher told you something or you see  
670
4248360
5960
70:54
Japanese examples then you're going to think  in Japanese but if you get an English example  
671
4254320
4240
70:58
then you're going to think in English about that  particular thing yeah learning English by learning  
672
4258560
4720
71:03
English in English or learning English by or with  or like picture Y image grip it be nice yeah with  
673
4263280
9640
71:12
what but again like so so there are there when  you when you get naturally varied review you  
674
4272920
5160
71:18
feel comfortable because you know oh I could say  learn English by images or with images or through  
675
4278080
7400
71:25
images so you could say all of those that would  all be correct and that way you wouldn't be  
676
4285480
3680
71:29
worried like which is which is the correct one  when they're all correct so that actually that  
677
4289160
5560
71:34
would probably be an interesting video to go like  give a like an English test to Japanese people but  
678
4294720
5800
71:40
all of the answers are correct and so I just say  which of these is correct just to like make them  
679
4300520
4520
71:45
kind of nervous about that but that would maybe  let me know if I should make a video like that  
680
4305040
5200
71:50
that would be an interesting thing to do uh just  in Nagasaki you know talking to talking to people  
681
4310240
5000
71:55
people cuz there are people who do know English  and you know they can use a little bit but many  
682
4315240
5080
72:00
are very shy to speak MH maybe let's see how we're  doing here look at that we've been going for 72  
683
4320320
6720
72:07
minutes wow that's right the time flies let's see  uh all right let me see here I think I got that so  
684
4327040
10480
72:17
ajhf is very nice I love you anyone we're glad  to hear what does LP and you what does LP oh I  
685
4337520
6720
72:24
think maybe that was like so that was learning in  practice versus the actual situation and Anonymous  
686
4344240
6400
72:30
says a very good lesson how could I fix that yeah  so that you can ask someone like how can I correct  
687
4350640
6320
72:36
this or how can I fix this thanks guys natural  spring water questions does students learn English  
688
4356960
5520
72:42
through translation in Japan or not you want to  answer that for them does do Japanese students  
689
4362480
5200
72:47
learn English through translation at least I  did yeah and I think most of them most of them  
690
4367680
5640
72:53
and like now the Japanese government is having  younger kids start learning English and usually  
691
4373320
6040
72:59
those lessons are taught by foreigners or there  or even it could be Japanese teachers as well  
692
4379360
5680
73:05
but they're still learning in English for younger  kids so they do songs or looking at pictures or  
693
4385040
6480
73:11
something like that but once they get into junior  high school then it's like translating transl  
694
4391520
4880
73:16
stuff like that so they they have not they've  not made a um like a good system for that I'm  
695
4396400
6280
73:22
not so sure about like current education system  yeah but when I was a un when I was a student we  
696
4402680
6720
73:29
focused on more like reading yeah and what Reading  Writing yeah like that and then you take a test in  
697
4409400
6360
73:35
reading and writing so you don't have to speak no  yeah no need so be because most people don't have  
698
4415760
5680
73:41
to speak they don't you don't learn about this  because it's not necessary to read basically you  
699
4421440
4360
73:45
learn one thing and then you repeat that on the  test so oh I remember like kicha is hello and like  
700
4425800
5920
73:51
I just translate that and and repeat it back to  the teacher or the tester whatever uh let's see  
701
4431720
6200
73:57
we got a question please tell me the vocabulary  for the flowing words for the following words are

706
4460040
5400
74:25
hopefully people are enjoying this we probably  won't go for much longer but I don't want to  
707
4465440
4320
74:29
Tire you out usually I can talk for like  2 hours or something for yeah so usually  
708
4469760
5560
74:35
about this time people start telling me uh  get a drink so I take a a quick drink over
709
4475320
6560
74:41
here but yes uh if you have any specific questions  uh it could be related to this or not that I can  
710
4481880
10360
74:52
help you with let me know uh but is there anything  else you like anything else that's been on your  
711
4492240
6280
74:58
mind you've been thinking about that I I think I  have a lot of like doubt questions like anything  
712
4498520
6920
75:05
specific you can think of right now but the  thing is like it's so unconscious so it's so  
713
4505440
7320
75:12
difficult to pick up but if we can have some  small conversation or something like that then  
714
4512760
5040
75:17
we can point out the mistakes or something that's  right again even even by now you you found some  
715
4517800
6560
75:24
sure sure but I I think in general your your  speaking is really good uh and but I can I can  
716
4524360
6160
75:30
I can tell like a little bit I can feel you kind  of processing oh yeah yeah processing so thinking  
717
4530520
5960
75:36
like ah how do I you know what is what is the what  is the best you know way to say something like  
718
4536480
5720
75:42
that so as you it's it's much more relaxing if you  just see a bunch of people saying something so in  
719
4542200
6440
75:48
a particular situation so if I go to a coffee shop  I can just sit and listen to them talking so even  
720
4548640
7800
75:56
like sometimes I will just I I will hold a book  and pretend I'm reading but I'm just listening  
721
4556440
4160
76:00
to other people talking or to the the staff or  somebody like that and so what they're talking  
722
4560600
5680
76:06
about just to get examples of their speech yeah so  it will make you feel more comfortable because you  
723
4566280
7560
76:13
will think oh okay in this situation you could say  this then now we are in nasak City yeah no like  
724
4573840
8600
76:22
native people around me then my question is sure  do you have any recommendation for like podcast  
725
4582440
6440
76:28
or something uh like English podcast content  to listen to cont Listen to I would I would  
726
4588880
4440
76:33
watch YouTube videos and the reason I recommend  no I don't I don't really listen to anything I  
727
4593320
4720
76:38
mean I I would prefer because I I like not just  listening I want to see something and actually  
728
4598040
6960
76:45
hear an example so I still watch Japanese kids  shows like show so this this is a show for like  
729
4605000
8000
76:53
2-year-old three-year-old kids I want to be out  running around like with the balloons and you  
730
4613000
4600
76:57
know but it's listening to those songs that really  helps me understand oh I should say like GA or ni  
731
4617600
6400
77:04
or wo or like whatever the there there little some  differences about the way Japanese and English  
732
4624000
6520
77:10
sentences work but uh like when I saw the example  on the tram about likeo shash like oh look at that  
733
4630520
7360
77:17
like that's like that was exciting to me to to see  that um but if I just like heard that on a podcast  
734
4637880
5720
77:23
I wouldn't catch it yeah so I want to have as many  different different angles that are helping me  
735
4643600
7000
77:30
understand something so podcasts are good if your  English is at a higher level and you just want to  
736
4650600
5880
77:36
like and you can really learn a lot so at like a a  better way to understand it is like how much uh if  
737
4656480
7480
77:43
I can understand only 80% of something I I should  watch like TV show and a shorter TV show but if I  
738
4663960
8320
77:52
can understand maybe 95% of something that maybe a  podcast is a better idea because here I might hear  
739
4672280
7000
77:59
like one word or another word but I can understand  that from the context of the show do do you watch  
740
4679280
6480
78:05
some like American YouTube something or cont TV3  not not I don't not really but I mean it again  
741
4685760
8560
78:14
that's if you're interested in watching TV shows  or whatever but for most people the problem is not  
742
4694320
6080
78:20
understanding so your your level of understanding  is high and it will be high than your speaking  
743
4700400
5600
78:26
ability so even for me like I can understand  better than I can speak in Japanese and so it like  
744
4706000
6160
78:32
people could be talking a lot and I think like  hey I could probably say something like that but  
745
4712160
4280
78:36
my Japanese would be like I can understand much  better you know and that that's just normal for  
746
4716440
5520
78:41
for everybody so if you can understand something  that that's good but that's that's different from  
747
4721960
5520
78:47
speaking so what I often explain to people about  if you if you just want to learn more vocabulary  
748
4727480
7240
78:55
um then then just listening to content is a good  idea or watching things like that but what usually  
749
4735840
7840
79:03
happens is let's say you listen to something for  one hour the thing that actually helps you speak  
750
4743680
7360
79:11
is the the naturally varied review because  you need to review the content in different  
751
4751040
4760
79:15
ways and it's like people are probably not going  to listen to the same podcast an hour long like  
752
4755800
6440
79:22
again and again but if you have something short  like 5 minutes you would listen to that and I  
753
4762240
5760
79:28
would listen to like 10 different people talking  about how to make I don't know like how do you  
754
4768000
5800
79:33
make a marker like how do you do that what is  so how would like how does this company do it  
755
4773800
4760
79:38
and that company and this company over here I  will feel very confident about how to do that  
756
4778560
4480
79:43
thing because I I need to review so that's how uh  you need to get practice in the language but the  
757
4783040
6480
79:49
practice doesn't really come from you speaking it  comes from you understanding the language better  
758
4789520
5240
79:54
so in this conversation right now you are learning  more from me than from you speaking Yeah so like  
759
4794760
6640
80:01
a lot of people think they need to have a  native speaker physically with them but you  
760
4801400
4120
80:05
are learning from me and even if I have like  a screen right here and you're just watching  
761
4805520
4000
80:09
a video exactly so the people watching the  video out there they are learning from me in  
762
4809520
4640
80:14
the same way even though they're not physically  with me so it's me helping them understand the  
763
4814160
5840
80:20
language better so if you can get lots of  examples of native speakers talking about  
764
4820000
4640
80:25
like here's how to make a cie so I can go to  YouTube and find like how to make a cie or  
765
4825520
6280
80:31
whatever and I can be specific about that like  here's like a chocolate chip cookie or a peanut  
766
4831800
5000
80:36
butter cookie or something or how to even do  something like how do you make a pencil something  
767
4836800
6280
80:43
very simple how do I tie my shoes even little  little kid kinds of things like you would hear  
768
4843080
5640
80:48
examples and so I talked in another video recently  about like sikin Noob so so this is a children's  
769
4848720
7160
80:55
book The Three Little Pigs and and we have this in  Japanese and English so at my house I have three  
770
4855880
5640
81:01
different physical copies of the book in like from  different people so there are some similarities  
771
4861520
6480
81:08
and some differences as well so like one one  Like the Wolf is like like like uh what does  
772
4868000
5960
81:13
he say like or whatever like let me in let me in  but he says it differently in another book and so  
773
4873960
6160
81:20
it's interesting like in English we would say like  let me in let me in but maybe people express it  
774
4880120
4440
81:25
slightly differently so it's the it's the the  varied review you need to give yourself something  
775
4885120
5520
81:30
shorter if you want to speak so the speaking you  need to get practice to speak but you don't that  
776
4890640
6280
81:36
practice doesn't need to be you speaking it's  just you getting lots of very focused review  
777
4896920
6080
81:43
from different people yeah so that this is what  I would recommend for people who want to speak  
778
4903000
6320
81:49
if you if you just want to if you like listening  to content you can you can learn a lot but you  
779
4909320
5440
81:54
won't really remember the vocabulary very well  and you won't you probably won't feel confident  
780
4914760
5800
82:00
about using it and again if you spend an hour then  you it's hard to like take an hour and then okay  
781
4920560
6400
82:06
let's read the same novel again so if I have a  novel In My Bag I'm going to read the novel I'm  
782
4926960
5760
82:12
probably not going to read it a second time right  afterwards so I want to take a short book like I  
783
4932720
6200
82:18
read children's books for that reason so something  short I can see pictures in the book and it's easy  
784
4938920
5840
82:24
to understand what's happening uh and and to  understand the language within Japanese so if  
785
4944760
5480
82:30
I have to translate anything I'm doing it wrong  so the book should give me or the the video or  
786
4950240
5760
82:36
whatever should give me enough enough information  so like the video or content for like 1 hour that  
787
4956000
7480
82:43
could be nice but like same topic different  content yeah could be nice yeah maybe so or  
788
4963480
6600
82:50
even like so in the example of the um like the  Japanese Street interview so that one it's it's  
789
4970080
6280
82:56
a similar kind of idea but we're just having these  in the same video so it's like 20-minute video but  
790
4976360
7040
83:03
it's got 10 different people or five different  people what do you think about this like what do  
791
4983400
4960
83:08
you think about I don't know would you date a fat  guy you know like would you eat this or something  
792
4988360
6680
83:15
like that where we're we're asking people the  same question and so you get to hear the same  
793
4995040
5160
83:20
question asked again and again and it's it's  said a little bit differently and then you get  
794
5000200
4360
83:24
hear each person's response which is going to be  different as well so this is a lot like people  
795
5004560
5320
83:29
don't they don't think about it this way but that  is naturally very review and so it's a great way  
796
5009880
5040
83:34
like I'm I'm hearing the question in Japanese and  the answer in Japanese and and other people are  
797
5014920
5360
83:40
watching it just to learn about Japanese culture  or whatever they don't think about the language  
798
5020280
4200
83:44
but I'm thinking about it like oo this is a really  good opportunity you know to to see language used  
799
5024480
5840
83:50
this way so if you don't have an example of this  you can you can make that by just watching a bunch  
800
5030320
5640
83:55
of short videos that will give you that same  information so more people doing the same kind  
801
5035960
5840
84:01
of thing just like you should watch the espresso  video on my channel because it goes into that so  
802
5041800
5240
84:07
in that in that one it actually shows you like  I I kind of explain some things and show you the  
803
5047040
5440
84:12
different examples but it's the same basic thing  about like what are the steps and so I'm learning  
804
5052480
5360
84:17
that vocabulary at the same time and I still  remember that vocabulary like you have a the  
805
5057840
5560
84:23
little espresso machine and there's a little uh  it's like a little metal weight that you you push  
806
5063400
5160
84:28
down kind of like this and we call that tamping to  Tamp down and I I didn't know like t m p I didn't  
807
5068560
6520
84:35
know that was the verb for that action I was like  oh do you just press it or push it or something I  
808
5075080
5960
84:41
could say something people would understand but  there is a specific verb that those people know  
809
5081040
5640
84:46
for that so I actually I mean I know the word Tamp  like it's like you could Tamp down like anything  
810
5086680
5880
84:52
you could Tamp down a re ution like we want to  stop something before it gets T down yeah to  
811
5092560
6760
84:59
Tamp something down so that's another example of  a phrasal verb but you can see it like just going  
812
5099320
4760
85:04
to push that down a little bit to Tamp it we're  not we're not really pressing hard we're going  
813
5104080
4360
85:08
to Tamp it down you know make sure it's t and temp  down yeah oh got it so I mean tamping and tamping  
814
5108440
7320
85:15
down it's the same thing we don't really Tamp to  the side you know people usually are moving in a  
815
5115760
5040
85:20
downward way but often conversationally uh we will  make these phrasal verbs to Tamp something down so  
816
5120800
7880
85:28
uh when I see that and I hear that in the first  video oh that's interesting Tamp down and then  
817
5128680
5000
85:33
I hear the second video says that and the third  video is like now we're going to T so that little  
818
5133680
4360
85:38
tool is called a temp and and it's I'm thinking  like you know isn't that uh isn't that interesting  
819
5138040
6680
85:44
how about tap tap is a different word so you could  tap tap is more like like you're kind of like  
820
5144720
6720
85:51
you know it's a it's like repetitive movement  like to tap something but this is more like a  
821
5151440
4320
85:55
gentle press pushing something down like that to  Tamp something down all right I think people are  
822
5155760
6960
86:02
getting it though let's say thanks so much teacher  thank you would say thanks to you thank you uh my  
823
5162720
5640
86:08
teacher for helping us lovely live glad to hear  it how can I say I agree I'm doing or I'm going  
824
5168360
7240
86:15
right now how can I say I agree I'm doing or I'm  going right now well that's not those are correct  
825
5175600
5600
86:21
what do you mean what's your question about that  but there is one I think please tell me about the  
826
5181200
5320
86:26
vocabulary for the following words but you didn't  give me any words that you were asking about  
827
5186520
5240
86:31
that America says or of air uh so your English is  pretty good oh he's talking about you uh well you  
828
5191760
7320
86:39
no well it could well my English is all right uh  your English is pretty good do you speak English  
829
5199080
6240
86:45
in your daily life uh no I don't speak it's I  think so he he could but there aren't many he  
830
5205320
6120
86:51
was saying and this is a lot of people who have  this problem of not having people to speak with  
831
5211440
5920
86:57
but my point is you don't need people to speak  with to improve your English or even first Sunday  
832
5217360
6120
87:03
yeah so you just need lots of good input but the  point is not just not just getting lots of random  
833
5223480
7440
87:10
things like okay I'm going to watch some Japanese  anime or whatever that I don't really understand  
834
5230920
5280
87:16
focus on something and then get the naturally  varied review that makes you feel confident so  
835
5236200
5200
87:21
the goal is to get rid of the doubt you have so  you feel conf about using things so even me if I  
836
5241400
5040
87:26
have a doubt about something I'm not going to say  it I'll just say a different thing or something  
837
5246440
5480
87:31
like that all right but I think if anybody looks  like we don't have any additional questions over  
838
5251920
5320
87:37
there cam from Thailand often joining us at  the end of the video but remember you can go  
839
5257240
5760
87:43
back and watch this I'll make sure this stays  live over here what is the best way to en uh  
840
5263000
4480
87:47
enhance vocabulary that's what I just uh explained  here so when you're talking about enhancing your  
841
5267480
5520
87:53
vocabulary that's learning more but also learning  to use it better and so often uh it's better to  
842
5273000
6240
87:59
to take more time with words you already know so  often people they they don't really feel confident  
843
5279240
6760
88:06
with the with the vocabulary they know so they  start learning more words but if you don't feel  
844
5286000
5560
88:11
confident about these words you're not going  to feel confident about more words either so  
845
5291560
4960
88:16
it's better just to know that vocabulary very well  and then you will start feeling more confident and  
846
5296520
4880
88:21
then it's easier to learn new things so the way  I'm I'm talking about learning you uh your your  
847
5301400
6560
88:27
learning will accelerate so it will get faster  as you do more of it let's see cheers uh from  
848
5307960
7880
88:35
Mexico says Pablo and John says my problem is  anxiety I get nervous when I talk to a native  
849
5315840
5680
88:41
English speaker ah so John do you get nervous when  you're talking in your native language because if  
850
5321520
6680
88:48
you if you do not then the problem is more just  preparing for English conversations and that's why  
851
5328200
5840
88:54
uh like the advice I usually give is just you're  not really getting the right preparation it's  
852
5334840
5840
89:00
limited speech preparation so you don't have  to speak but you should be prepared to speak  
853
5340680
6560
89:07
and you do that by getting lots of examples and  feeling much more confident about the language  
854
5347240
5000
89:12
but if you if you are nervous in any language  then that's like that's a psychology problem  
855
5352240
6080
89:18
not not just like learning English specifically  so I am a student of uh AA engineering uh should  
856
5358320
8400
89:26
I learn specific vocabulary well I mean if you're  if you're trying to learn and you need to speak  
857
5366720
4720
89:31
English for a particular job then yes you would  uh that would be the thing um you know what like  
858
5371440
7280
89:38
if like if I'm an airline pilot and I need  to speak English for my work then that's the  
859
5378720
4680
89:43
thing I should focus on so I could learn I could  watch you know some TV shows or something like  
860
5383400
5040
89:48
that but I should probably focus on the thing I'm  interested in but the part of the reason that we  
861
5388440
5760
89:54
get the variety is because the human mind is very  bored by repeating things again and again so if I  
862
5394200
7800
90:02
say hey watch this same video 10 times you would  probably learn a little bit more but you would be  
863
5402000
4840
90:06
very bored very quickly like I don't want to watch  that 10 times and so people don't want to review  
864
5406840
5720
90:12
they don't want to the practice is the thing that  gets you fluent but if you if you don't actually  
865
5412560
5800
90:18
make it interesting for your mind then you will  not review so it'll be more uh more difficult  
866
5418360
6400
90:24
for you uh Pablo says I want to learn Japanese so  there are lots of actually I mean there's lots of  
867
5424760
5480
90:30
people teaching Japanese on YouTube John says oh I  see thank you and Su because I also have to take I  
868
5430240
6520
90:36
exam and someone else is asking for the TOEFL so  I don't I don't focus on maybe you have some have  
869
5436760
4960
90:41
you taken the TOEFL or ey or something more than  10 years ago oh how did you do did you do well or  
870
5441720
5880
90:47
you remember your score not not so good ah okay 80  something oh okay well I don't know if you want to  
871
5447600
7800
90:55
if you want to get 80 something then he will he  will give you some some advice about that I don't  
872
5455400
4560
90:59
focus on tests um because it's it's not so helpful  for in the real world communication so I know many  
873
5459960
7760
91:07
people who have good scores on tofl but they they  they don't feel confident speaking so it's a it's  
874
5467720
5760
91:13
a different thing but I would I I don't want to  give you bad advice so I recommend you look for  
875
5473480
5400
91:18
there are plenty of people who focus on IELTS or  or whatever the test is um if it's just passing  
876
5478880
5640
91:24
the test then do that thing for passing the test  uh my my students do well on those tests because  
877
5484520
6320
91:30
if you're a good speaker you know the language  well and you do well on those tests anyway uh but  
878
5490840
4280
91:35
if you just need to pass a test I would look  for people who specifically focus on that uh  
879
5495120
6480
91:41
let's see America is it hard for you to pronounce  some words I'm guessing that's for you oh I guess  
880
5501600
6440
91:48
a lot of one specific phrase uhhuh this day I'm  listen to some podcast uh then every time they say
881
5508040
10360
91:58
what give me
882
5518400
4040
92:02
second what what what's that it's a it's a phrase  that different podcast use same same same let's  
883
5522440
10440
92:12
listen to the DI dialogue one more time ah so it's  an English learning podcast or whatever I don't  
884
5532880
8800
92:21
yeah the word dialogue dialog dialogue dialogue  dialogue dialogue dialogue it's an A A so that  
885
5541680
7680
92:29
sound is not in Japanese so that's why Japanese  people say di like but it's a dialogue dialog law  
886
5549360
11440
92:40
you should you should get Frederick I I should  I think I showed you the app before but that  
887
5560800
4480
92:45
like pronunciation something so it's pronunciation  listening and it will it will show you like these  
888
5565280
4520
92:49
words the point really it's it's a similar kind  of review where you get to compare the sounds so  
889
5569800
6600
92:56
you hear the difference between law and log one  more simple but difficult pronunciation word okay  
890
5576400
6800
93:03
but uhhuh usually Japanese people pronounce this  like but yeah and I pronounce like but but yeah  
891
5583200
7920
93:11
that's fine fine yeah really yeah okay so often  like a word like this but if you're responding  
892
5591120
6680
93:17
to someone and and even right now I'm trying to  speak very clearly but yeah so it would be like  
893
5597800
5960
93:24
but and this is the the short u sound uh but but  but often in a in a conversation if I'm speaking  
894
5604400
8960
93:33
the T it it almost disappears so it's like but but  but so the space is there but I don't say but but  
895
5613360
9920
93:43
yeah like that but yeah maybe this something like  this yeah yeah yeah so that it's the short it's a  
896
5623280
8920
93:52
short short vowel uh uh uh uh uh so but but so  you'll notice like I might be moving my mouth  
897
5632200
8680
94:00
but but but I don't say the T but B yeah but it's  not like it's like but but but but so just listen  
898
5640880
12680
94:13
to the listen to the difference I will say it  with the T and without the T but but but but but  
899
5653560
10160
94:24
but but but so I'm I I I leave a space there I'm  not saying it faster really I'm just not saying  
900
5664640
8120
94:32
the T so it's it's the same sound like but but  but but so it's like a D sound almost but it's  
901
5672760
11000
94:43
very very very sound so or very soft so I would  say uh it's a nice nice day but but it's hot but  
902
5683760
8680
94:52
it's hot and us usually that sound is connected  to the next word so that's another uh issue about  
903
5692440
6320
94:58
blending the sounds of the words together uh let's  see do you recommend learn Japanese as a first  
904
5698760
7960
95:06
language yes that's so that's what I do and that's  what I recommend other people uh any any language  
905
5706720
5880
95:12
you're learning so if I'm trying to learn German  I should learn German in German rather than learn  
906
5712600
4680
95:17
German in English so it's if if I if I just want  to memorize some phrases if I'm if I'm traveling  
907
5717280
7080
95:24
to Germany for a week maybe I don't care about  speaking fluently but I learn like a phrase book  
908
5724360
5600
95:29
and here's how to translate that but if I want  to be a confident speaker then I don't want to  
909
5729960
4800
95:34
translate I want to be able to speak and express  myself without thinking about it I'm from Pakistan  
910
5734760
5800
95:40
let's see review the mother of knowledge oh ildar  is back knowledge let's see and I am from Pakistan  
911
5740560
6160
95:46
there is no English-speaking environment what do  you think how can I practice speaking English with  
912
5746720
5120
95:51
my own self so this is what I just what I just  explained to show here so and and and again like  
913
5751840
5640
95:57
I I was I was explaining to him before the call  about the the difficulty for for getting people  
914
5757480
6200
96:03
fluent is not teaching the teaching is the easy  part the difficult part is getting people to think  
915
5763680
6360
96:10
in a different way about how to learn so people  like even I've done this for 14 years and people  
916
5770040
7120
96:17
will still say but I don't have anyone to practice  with and I say it doesn't matter you don't need a  
917
5777160
5160
96:22
person to practice with but you do need content  that will help you review and that's because the  
918
5782320
6200
96:28
the goal is not to like speak more it's to remove  the doubt that you have about speaking so if you  
919
5788520
6160
96:34
have a doubt about pronunciation or grammar  or something that's that's what stoping that's  
920
5794680
5840
96:40
what's stopping you from speaking it's not like  me practicing or even me living in Japan so I've  
921
5800520
6680
96:47
been in Japan for about 20 years on and off but  I know people so other foreigners who have been  
922
5807200
7400
96:54
in Japan longer and they can't speak so being in  Japan doesn't make you a speaker it's do you have  
923
5814600
7000
97:01
doubt about the language and do you do you like  pay attention and listen to what people say so  
924
5821600
4960
97:06
you don't need to have someone with you and right  now with the internet and YouTube especially you  
925
5826560
5840
97:12
can listen to lots of different natives speaking  and you get their examples about how to say things  
926
5832400
5320
97:17
so the real the real question in a conversation is  what do I say in this situation so I've given some  
927
5837720
6760
97:24
examples like in Japanese like if you get hurt in  Japanese or not in English if you get hurt like I  
928
5844480
5920
97:30
hit you what do you say yeah so he's going to say  like if something happens to me I'm like you know  
929
5850400
6480
97:36
I'm going to express it basically the same thing  but I'm going to say it in a different way and so  
930
5856880
6640
97:43
me seeing that it's much better than getting a a a  translation or an explanation or a definition in a  
931
5863520
6600
97:50
textbook like in a Japanese textbook it will say  uh painful is it but I think okay I don't really  
932
5870120
7760
97:57
remember that but if I see 10 different people get  hurt and like then I'm going to remember that much  
933
5877880
7640
98:05
more easily so I'm learning I'm connecting the  situation with the vocabulary not the translation  
934
5885520
5440
98:10
with another like word in English or something so  that's why we want to see many different people  
935
5890960
4280
98:15
in real life talking about things uh let's see  so I think I answer that one Mohammad says can  
936
5895240
8000
98:23
you talk more about the advantages of your app  if you're talking about Frederick uh just click  
937
5903240
4480
98:27
on the link in the description below the video  and it will it will tell you more about that  
938
5907720
4000
98:31
but the basic idea is that when you're learning  a language it's much easier like if I teach you  
939
5911720
5640
98:37
some Japanese right now like AK Maka AI Maka AKA  and here I'm using Japanese to teach you Japanese  
940
5917360
9720
98:47
not I'm not translating anything I'm just giving  you examples so if I say like oh II Maka I we
941
5927080
6480
98:53
sh and so if I can give an like an explanation
942
5933560
6000
98:59
like like it's like so if we're  going to look at an example like
943
5939560
11000
99:10
this so if I'm if I'm giving examples of  of different things like that helping you  
944
5950560
9280
99:19
understand it that's what actually helps  you get fluent so understanding something  
945
5959840
3600
99:23
all in the language and then comparing  the different examples so what I just  
946
5963440
4640
99:28
gave you is like a different example of of  how the app works so if we look at a thing
947
5968080
6800
99:34
like let's see if you can pronounce these three  words cop uh-huh cap cap mhm cop yeah so it's  
948
5974880
14400
99:49
going to be a little different so cup uh uh cap  cop cap yeah so just like cap cop see little  
949
5989280
9560
99:58
different cop c cap cop no it's just it's the same  sound so this is this is the hard C sound so this  
950
5998840
5960
100:04
is the same and this is the same too the only  thing that's different is how we would pronounce  
951
6004800
4560
100:09
the middle sound over here uh and so when you  can compare the different sounds that's what  
952
6009360
5520
100:14
helps you understand it better so if you just  learn a bunch of random sounds like okay we're  
953
6014880
4680
100:19
going to practice like say this word and then that  word or whatever it's is much more difficult for  
954
6019560
4920
100:24
you to understand we want to isolate something  just like when we're focusing on something and  
955
6024480
4400
100:28
getting different examples of IT cup cap cop so in  the app you get to hear oh what's the difference  
956
6028880
7360
100:36
and I can test myself and learn up through you  know much more difficult words and phrases so  
957
6036240
5360
100:41
that's that's Frederick which is more focused on  teaching you rules like this for pronunciation  
958
6041600
5120
100:46
the same way natives learn them uh but fluent  for life is an actual video course if you're  
959
6046720
4600
100:51
asking about that but both of those are linked  uh along with Show's YouTube video uh or the  
960
6051320
5320
100:56
channel the channel is linked in the description  below this video as well so if you'd like to see  
961
6056640
4200
101:00
more Nagasaki or more about Nagasaki do that and  maybe I will uh I will get maybe on on a video  
962
6060840
6080
101:06
of yours or something at some time maybe I can I  can help him out like that uh we'll answer these  
963
6066920
6440
101:13
last couple of questions over here is but not  grammatically wrong no that's that's fine you  
964
6073360
5640
101:19
can say that like I like this but not that that's  I could say that some japanes people and again if  
965
6079000
5520
101:24
you have a question about that just put that into  Google and see if it corrects your English and see  
966
6084520
4720
101:29
if it says no no like you mean this but if you  see a bunch of examples of but not uh then you  
967
6089240
5320
101:34
know it's correct so Paulo says some Japanese  friends instead of pronounce I think they Ed to  
968
6094560
6840
101:41
the pronounce Oh you mean they say a different  word instead of I think they say like I see or  
969
6101400
5040
101:46
something I think or I I think I H like you think  I think yeah I guess like the the spell is maybe  
970
6106440
8080
101:54
incorrect there but yeah so often that like that  th sound is not in in Japanese so it's harder for  
971
6114520
5920
102:00
them to to make that like no no see th so I tell  people to over pronounce it so stick your tongue  
972
6120440
6120
102:06
out like think think think I don't think we have F  yeah so you can you can get the pronunciation but  
973
6126560
11080
102:17
it's much easier if you see a bunch of different  people doing it uh am says some sometimes S I  
974
6137640
5840
102:23
am frustrated I think I can never pronounce some  words correctly you should get get get Frederick  
975
6143480
4320
102:27
get the app but you Frederick is is part of that  learning pronunciation the other part is seeing  
976
6147800
6280
102:34
different natives make sounds and so as you see  lots of examples of that you will feel much more  
977
6154080
4920
102:39
confident about uh being able to make these sounds  as well uh let's see and John says it's uh it a  
978
6159000
8680
102:47
sounds like it hurt so also like you you that's  another thing about Japanese like he's not going  
979
6167680
7560
102:55
to pronounce it like in a textbook where it says  that's like the whole thing but he's just like he  
980
6175240
6200
103:01
doesn't he doesn't say the the whole thing just  like even even people will make it even shorter  
981
6181440
5200
103:06
than that or say something different you know like  you know they they will they will say something  
982
6186640
5840
103:12
something uh completely different but the point is  you learn it from the situation I say oh here are  
983
6192480
4720
103:17
a whole bunch of people something hurts them what  do they say or what do people say like they sh  
984
6197200
5920
103:24
you know when like a Japanese like an old guy  is like getting up so Japanese kids they learn  
985
6204120
4720
103:28
to say those same kinds of things when they  [Applause] like yeah yeah they but so little  
986
6208840
7400
103:36
kids will copy that uh it's it's interesting funny  but but that's how it works so like they they're  
987
6216240
5840
103:42
getting the example of how to say those things  because they connect the words with the situation  
988
6222080
4440
103:46
so like Japanese kids don't learn Japanese through  Chinese or through English they learn it by seeing  
989
6226520
5040
103:51
what what what other people say and so you feel  much more confident as you get many more examples  
990
6231560
4720
103:56
of people doing things uh Mr batch says I speak  and understand English but I struggle out when  
991
6236280
4920
104:01
it comes to fluency go back and watch this video  again so we we cover that um about this idea about  
992
6241200
6040
104:07
getting review and that's the actual preparation  that makes you feel confident for communication so  
993
6247240
7320
104:14
real life speaking is unpredictable so you can't  just learn a few phrases and and maybe people will  
994
6254560
6840
104:21
say something different or you won't understand  what they're saying so you need to get that right  
995
6261400
4200
104:25
preparation uh let's see M says how can I stop  speaking with a strong accent just the the two  
996
6265600
6080
104:31
things I recommended before so get Frederick  click on the link in the description below  
997
6271680
4000
104:35
this even whether you learn with the app or not  like you need to learn the individual sounds of  
998
6275680
4400
104:40
English and you also need to hear how they blend  with other sounds so you need to see those two  
999
6280080
4640
104:44
examples and ritan says hello again great class my  question is about the pronunciation of vowels is  
1000
6284720
7280
104:52
there any specific rule for pronouncing vowels  or do I just need to memorize the words no get  
1001
6292000
4800
104:56
Frederick it will tell you that it will actually  help you understand those rules that's the whole  
1002
6296800
4200
105:01
point of the app so rather than like learning a  rule you want to see lots of examples and compare  
1003
6301000
5760
105:06
them and then you think ah now I understand what  this means and why you should say it like like  
1004
6306760
5320
105:12
that so when I pronounce a short or long vow for  example in the case of Apple the a is pronounced  
1005
6312080
6960
105:19
due to the double P yeah so like you could learn  rules like that but it's much better just to see  
1006
6319040
5680
105:24
lots of focused examples and that's what that's  exactly what the app gives you all right and so  
1007
6324720
5080
105:29
John's got looks like a smiley face over there new  subscriber live in nagas oh thank you there you go  
1008
6329800
5440
105:35
look at that thank you all right well I think  we have uh taken up too much of Show's time as  
1009
6335240
5400
105:40
it is but thank you very much hopefully this has  been uh helpful and informative for people I don't  
1010
6340640
5520
105:46
know maybe we should do this again or yes think  about some some other way to do that or I'll do my  
1011
6346160
4600
105:50
street interviews if I can find some some people  to speak with but that could be interesting anyway  
1012
6350760
6520
105:57
uh hopefully you have enjoyed this if you have do  click the like button because it helps the channel  
1013

and it tells YouTube uh yeah I need to put some  little fancy Graphics or something it's like a  
1014
6361320
5840
106:07
little like click the Bell you know they make it  so difficult why do you have to click a bell just  
1015
6367160
5000
106:12
say click like when I was younger you just click  like and that's it like click subscribe and then
