00:17
see all right we're getting there all right hello  I am Drew Badger the founder of EnglishAnyone.com

8880
00:26
and the English fluency guide welcome to another  live video here on YouTube this should be an  
4
26360
6440
00:32
entertaining one uh hopefully it won't be  too long I wanted to get right into it uh  
5
32800
6480
00:39
but if you have any questions let me know today  we'll be focused primarily on fixing spelling  
6
39280
6760
00:46
and pronunciation errors and showing how this  is actually fun and it can be entertaining and  
7
46040
5280
00:51
I want to show you how to do this like a native  so for a bit of background Muhammad nice to see  
8
51320
5400
00:56
you there nice to see everybody out there uh for  a bit of background native speakers have usually  
9
56720
6920
01:03
a uh a specific order a system where they're  learning to spell and pronounce English uh so  
10
63640
6240
01:09
they're learning to connect the different letter  combinations with uh with the way we would spell  
11
69880
6000
01:15
things so if we have a word like a cat C A if  I'll put this up here actually let me erase the
12
75880
6920
01:22
board all right so if we have a word like cat  this is a consonant vowel consonant and then  
13
82800
16160
01:38
we put an e at the end here we get Kate so we  can have things like uh educate or decorate  
14
98960
7200
01:46
or other things like that that have this same  kind of uh spelling to them but in uh often in  
15
106160
6640
01:52
TV shows when people are learning or like little  kids are learning English so they will learn the  
16
112800
6600
01:59
vocab abary but they will often take words uh and  people will play games with kids by changing just  
17
119400
6960
02:06
one letter in a word h so as an example we would  take a word like fish for example and then think  
18
126360
10040
02:16
how might we change this to something else  and so part of this is about learning uh the  
19
136400
5200
02:21
pronunciation rules and and showing how words  can change even if we change just one letter so  
20
141600
6720
02:28
even with one letter we can make a completely  different word or actually transform a whole  
21
148320
4840
02:33
sentence as I'll show you later uh but it can  make a a much more entertaining way and a more  
22
153160
7240
02:40
uh memorable way because it's fun uh that helps  you understand words and pronunciation grammar  
23
160400
5440
02:45
things like that uh so if we look at this like  we can probably change this in a few different  
24
165840
5960
02:51
ways I'm going to see just to make sure everybody  understands what I'm talking about here so we just  
25
171800
5240
02:57
change one letter like let's say we change dish  over here so we've got F fish and this changes  
26
177040
8840
03:05
to d d dish so very simple so when children are  learning this they would probably see like an  
27
185880
6400
03:12
little image of a fish uh and then they might see  the image of a a dish like that all right and so  
28
192280
10000
03:22
we might take this we might even change the word  uh maybe we use fist like that so we take a little  
29
202280
9200
03:31
a fist and show people oh like I'm not probably  going to draw that very well but this is kind of  
30
211480
4920
03:36
like my my hand like that like a fist okay and so  here we are uh changing just one letter and this  
31
216400
7840
03:44
is often in like a TV show for children or a game  something like that where we really want to help  
32
224240
5520
03:49
people understand something so punch would be a  different thing you would do that uh that's like  
33
229760
4320
03:54
a completely different word but again you can  hopefully get the idea here the yellow t-shirt  
34
234080
6080
04:00
is very suits so cute thank you prer passionate  class I'm glad to hear it yes it's like a sunny  
35
240160
5160
04:05
day today so I'm wearing a yellow shirt um uh  usually what I do I'm I don't really care I don't  
36
245320
6760
04:12
I should care more I guess about my fashion but  what I do is I have a drawer with shirts in it and  
37
252080
6880
04:18
I just like when I get clothes they're washed  they go back in the drawer and I just use the  
38
258960
5400
04:24
stuff on top so I have stuff under there I said  oh let me look down and pick a shirt or something  
39
264360
5440
04:29
that I haven't worn in a while and there you go uh  hopefully everybody gets this I wanted to do this  
40
269800
5800
04:35
with uh some longer phrases uh just so you can  get the idea and hopefully this will make sense  
41
275600
5640
04:41
to everyone but it's much more entertaining and  because it's entertaining you remember it better  
42
281240
6120
04:47
and that's the point uh of trying to learn uh  simple things this way we really want to make  
43
287360
4840
04:52
one change because the goal is Clarity the goal is  to help you understand something and eliminate any  
44
292200
6760
04:58
doubt about pronunciation or grammar or vocabulary  whatever that is uh so I thought uh I thought  
45
298960
7160
05:06
about doing this video because a friend of mine  had a sign that said this it said help for busy
46
306120
11240
05:17
teachers hopefully that fits on there all right  so he had a he has a sign it says help for busy  
47
317360
10000
05:27
teachers help for busy teachers and now uh I was  looking at that sign and thinking how could we  
48
327360
6760
05:34
change the sign completely uh and like how can we  change a sign completely with just one letter all  
49
334120
8600
05:42
right so I want to do that as an example just  a couple of these uh here in this video and it  
50
342720
5040
05:47
should give you uh a key like wow look at that  it's much more uh it's much more interesting and  
51
347760
6320
05:54
fun if we can take a sentence or even a short  phrase like this and start changing letters  
52
354080
5560
05:59
and that will show us how the pronunciation is  different but it will also teach us a little bit  
53
359640
4720
06:04
of vocabulary at the same time uh and it really  is a great way to learn so let me check out uh  
54
364360
6560
06:10
any quick comments questions over here nice to see  people there I am Frank nice to see you there I  
55
370920
5520
06:16

56
376440
5600
06:22
again Diana hello Muhammad uh let's see oh from  Mexico Ming says hello Zoe says please teach me  
57
382040
7520
06:29
writing structure this will not be the right class  for that uh but if you want to learn how to become  
58
389560
4680
06:34
a better writer you really should just look at  good writing uh especially the kind of writing  
59
394240
5400
06:39
you'd like to do so if you want to write more like  a uh I don't know like an essay or you want to  
60
399640
6440
06:46
write fiction whatever it is you want to do uh you  should get examples of that particular thing so  
61
406080
5520
06:51
just look at how other people write and actually  write that by hand with a pen and pencil so don't  
62
411600
6160
06:57
do it with a computer actually write it out by  hand that will help you understand it better  
63
417760
5640
07:03
all right uh let's see uh let's see Mohamed says  I love my little fish all right uh answer that  
64

5120
08:18
is doing well D says hello from Vietnam uh  help for busy teachers how come good morning  
78
498640
8280
08:26
from India okay let's get into the lesson so as  I mentioned uh usually American kids or British  
79
506920
6880
08:33
kids Australian kids they will all have these  same kinds of things when they're learning the  
80
513800
5480
08:39
language where people will manipulate a word as  I showed earlier like taking fish and how do we  
81
519280
6280
08:45
change that into like something else that could  hurt somebody and people would think oh like  
82
525560
5080
08:50
a fist oh that's an interesting thing and so for  this one uh how do we how do we change this let's  
83
530640
7600
08:58
say we change this help for and instead of busy  we will change this target word here and we will  
84
538240
6440
09:04
make bushy teachers bushy teachers it maybe could  be like a teacher that like looks like a a bush  
85
544680
9040
09:13
or something I don't know a bushy teacher that'd  be kind of weird but you hear the point here is  
86
553720
5520
09:19
focusing on the pronunciation but also it changes  the whole sentence so not just help for busy  
87
559240
6040
09:25
teachers they're bushy I don't know maybe they  have like bushy hair or something like that help  
88
565280
4520
09:29
for bushy so listen carefully to the difference in  this sound we only change one letter we're adding  
89
569800
5680
09:35
the letter H in here busy bushy busy bushy busy  and bushy busy and bushy isn't that interesting  
90
575480
11720
09:47
we change just one letter and it can change the  whole uh the whole way we say the word help for  
91
587200
6720
09:53
bushy teachers help for bushy teachers all right  now I'm going to give a few more of these but if  
92
593920
6760
10:00
you can think of any put that sentence or that  just little phrase here in the chat all right  
93
600680
5720
10:06
play along with me uh we're going to change  a few more of these things and see if we can  
94
606400
4720
10:11
make some more interesting sentences over here  so we've got help for instead of busy teachers  
95
611120
6520
10:17
we've got bushy teachers so Zoe again asking  do I teach writing not not especially we don't  
96
617640
6120
10:23
really focus on that our goal is really to help  people speak that's what we do uh but certainly  
97
623760
5840
10:29
you can learn to write uh just by getting lots  of examples from good writing all right so help  
98
629600
6120
10:35
for bushy teachers help for busy teachers let's  see and of course I need I need some help over  
99
635720
6920
10:42
here too of course we have a our fire truck or  ambulance like usual it's like a tradition you  
100
642640
6920
10:49
know we have to have an ambulance or somebody uh  come by over here all right there's another word  
101
649560
5280
10:54
maybe you know bushy do you know this word we're  going to change busy again busty busty teachers  
102
654840
11920
11:06
who knows what this word means all right so it's a  different pronunciation again we've got busy busy  
103
666760
6360
11:13
teachers over here in B busty teachers what is a  busty teacher see if you can figure out what that  
104
673120
8600
11:21
is does anybody know what a busty teacher would be  a busty what does that mean to be busty busty do  
105
681720
7520
11:29
you know that word so busty means actually having  like uh this is for women who have a large chest  
106
689240
6280
11:35
we'd say oh that's that's like a very busty we  so this is talking about the bust like the the  
107
695520
5600
11:41
you had a busty teacher nice so help for busty  teachers so let's say we only want to help like  
108
701120
8720
11:49
teachers who have like a large chest like women  female teachers so this is called like the bust so  
109
709840
5960
11:55
the the breast area up here uh so help for busty  teachers I remember I had a few busty teachers uh  
110
715800
8160
12:03
when I was a kid as well I remember that help  for busy teachers help for bushy teachers and  
111
723960
6000
12:09
help for busty teachers as well all right if you  can think of any more ways to manipulate this just  
112
729960
9560
12:19
by changing one letter let me know see if we give  you another one all right now let's say we have  
113
739520
6760
12:26
help instead of four we have form busty or busy  or bushy or busy teachers so help form instead of  
114
746280
11200
12:37
for we've got form form so help form busy teachers  this means like to help make something help make  
115
757480
9000
12:46
that so if we want to help make busy teachers we  want to actually make uh people you know like we  
116
766480
6960
12:53
want to make them busier or we want to create  teachers who are busy or we want to make bushy  
117
773440
5400
12:58
teachers or we want to form busty teachers like a  imagine a factory where they're making like busty  
118
778840
8080
13:06
teachers you know help form busty teachers help  form or you could have a Dusty teacher as well  
119
786920
9120
13:16
if we want to manipulate this we change the B to a  d and we have Dusty we change it again oh look at  
120
796040
9040
13:25
that another one I was thinking of that one too I  was going to save that for later but yes we could
121
805080
5280
13:30
have hell hell for busy teachers so hell for busy  teachers like if you're making hell for someone  
122
810360
16200
13:46
it means you're making their life very difficult  or something is very frustrating all like this  
123
826560
5200
13:51
this is like hell for like this classroom is hell  for busy teachers or hell for teachers in general  
124
831760
6840
13:58
okay okay so hell for something it just means  to make it very difficult all right isn't this  
125
838600
6680
14:05
interesting we can take you will probably not  see this on a children's TV show but you guys  
126
845280
5200
14:10
can have some fun with this as well hell four  busy teachers or hell for bushy teachers hell  
127
850480
6560
14:17
for busty teachers or Dusty teachers as well  or we could also take so if we have help again  
128
857040
8400
14:25
over here so help and we can make this same  pronunciation but the meaning changes for so  
129
865440
10360
14:35
help for busy teachers we wanted to help four  of them help four busy teachers help four busty  
130
875800
6520
14:42
bushy or Dusty teachers as well all right so  I just want to make this uh just wanted to do  
131
882320
8640
14:50
a quick video today I'll take questions now about  anything you'd like to know about uh but this was  
132
890960
5280
14:56
basically the idea where just showing you how  you can take one letter and really make a much  
133
896240
6040
15:02
more interesting lesson for yourself uh these  are the kinds of things that we we do uh in  
134
902280
6680
15:08
Frederick so if you have that app already you  can actually create uh things like this where  
135
908960
5120
15:14
we're looking at different individual words and  then you can look at different sentences as well  
136
914080
4760
15:18
see how they're related f r e d e r i c k so  remember it's much more entertaining and fun  
137
918840
7920
15:26
if you are enjoying this you will probably enjoy  playing with Frederick in the same way all right  
138
926760
5440
15:32
so remember uh there are certain steps that you  should be learning we actually take you through  
139
932200
4480
15:36
all that in the app but the important point about  this way of learning is it's just more fun so it's  
140
936680
5320
15:42
more entertaining it helps you learn individual  words and also helps you connect a little bit of  
141
942000
5200
15:47
grammar as well all right hopefully that makes  sense all right if people have uh questions or  
142
947200
6320
15:53
they'd like help with busty teachers or or  anything else somebody needs a busty teacher  
143
953520
7520
16:01
um yes I I am not I'm not the bustiest teacher  on YouTube uh so maybe some people don't like  
144
961040
6560
16:07
that but I do I do what I can with what I have uh  bega says hello sir you brighten my day with a new  
145
967600
6760
16:14
t-shirt yes people always uh people recognize my  my new t-shirt this is actually an old one I just  
146
974360
6800
16:21
haven't worn it in a while all right so I used  to have a teacher like that very good yes busty  
147
981160
5040
16:26
teachers are often memorable teachers I remember  Hell for a busy teacher that's right uh what's  
148
986200
7280
16:33
the best way to start learning uh well if you if  you mean like if you're trying to teach someone  
149
993480
5320
16:38
from the very beginning or if you're talking  about just improving your fluency in general the  
150
998800
5080
16:43
main idea is to eliminate doubt for individual  words phrases grammar points pronunciation the  
151
1003880
6680
16:50
same kind of thing and so this video is just a  simple demonstration of how you can do that with  
152
1010560
5600
16:56
an individual word even just like an individual  letter uh so you can take one letter and learn the  
153
1016160
5800
17:01
differences so here people might doubt is there  a difference in pronunciation these are actually  
154
1021960
6960
17:08
the same but we want to make sure the spelling is  correct so four 1 2 3 4 so four has four letters  
155
1028920
7640
17:16
over here and four this is just for something like  I did it for you the pronunciation is exactly the  
156
1036560
6640
17:23
same though four four okay but Frederick again if  if you'd like to go through the app and actually  
157
1043200
6920
17:30
teach yourself these pronunciations learn how  to correct these errors before you make them  
158
1050120
5160
17:35
Frederick will help you do that all right so in  general uh whatever you're learning whether it's  
159
1055280
5400
17:40
pronunciation or grammar uh hopefully this also  shows you that we don't really want to learn just  
160
1060680
5120
17:45
grammar by itself it's not really possible to do  that you always learn Grammar with pronunciation  
161
1065800
5720
17:51
or with vocabulary uh and even understanding  kind of jokes and humor that kind of thing as  
162
1071520
6120
17:57
well all right so the more things that you can  learn at the same time uh the more confident you  
163
1077640
5640
18:03
will become uh cam says so hot let's see help for  help from a busty teacher that's right yes if you  
164
1083280
7040
18:10
need help from uh a busty teacher that would  mean maybe you're trying to get away from the  
165
1090320
4960
18:15
busty teacher all right new natural says hello  from Morocco uh how a beat Chase chess and some  
166
1095280
9640
18:24
word like those yeah so you can use the same thing  the goal again is to understand something by only  
167
1104920
6600
18:31
changing one letter so it's easier for your mind  to understand the difference let's say we have a  
168
1111520
5440
18:36
word like uh Chase uh we might take let's see uh  we could either and and and you don't have to make  
169
1116960
8360
18:45
an actual word from this either part of this is  like when you're teaching kids these are called  
170
1125320
5960
18:51
nonsense words like this if we just erase the E  uh and we get chass chass so we get chass is not  
171
1131280
10880
19:02
a word at least not a word that I know of but uh  chass and Chase and here we're just learning about  
172
1142160
6720
19:08
the difference between how these are pronounced  differently so we've got Chase Chaz Chase chass  
173
1148880
6200
19:15
Chase chass Chase chass so we might have a Chase  or we might have uh Hast or might have uh p
174
1155080
13160
19:31
oh we got hope for busy teachers hope for busy  teachers is also entertaining all right uh hello  
175
1171160
7520
19:38
from Canada says Melinda Zoe asks what is  Frederick uh Frederick is an app so you can  
176
1178680
4760
19:43
click on the link in the description below this  video to learn more about that uh but it will  
177
1183440
4560
19:48
teach you pronunciation and and let you compare  the different sounds of words when you change  
178
1188000
5800
19:53
different letters like this and you get to hear  my voice and hear me pronounce over 2,000 words  
179
1193800
5560
19:59
and sentences and we also have uh images for each  of the words that you learn so it's uh much better  
180
1199360
5680
20:05
for trying to learn pronunciation than just taking  a word and repeating it again and again really  
181
1205040
5160
20:10
you become much more fluent and confident as you  can compare different things and understand how  
182
1210200
5360
20:15
they're different okay so you understand the rules  naturally the same way a child would and this is  
183
1215560
5160
20:20
why you have kind of games like this uh often  in children's TV shows uh let's see d says this  
184
1220720
7840
20:28
is my first time hearing that words under busy  with letter y words under busy with the letter  
185
1228560
6000
20:34
Y ah like busty and Dusty yeah so again uh this  is another way to improve your pronunciation but  
186
1234560
7240
20:41
also your vocabulary so I want to make it kind  of fun and entertaining for you but so when I  
187
1241800
5960
20:47
see things like this natives you know maybe with  like especially a guy's mind we're thinking like  
188
1247760
6200
20:53
okay we take bsy and put a tea in there and now  we get busty just like CU I thought it would be  
189
1253960
6320
21:00
funny just as a as a joke um like because this  is a poster for like a it's like a teaching  
190
1260280
7200
21:07
conference so I thought it would be funny if I  go and like just put a te in there so at this  
191
1267480
6360
21:13
conference people would walk by and say oh that's  interesting help for busty teachers like do you  
192
1273840
4200
21:18
also help non busty teachers anyway I'm I'm too  I'm too entertained by this lesson I think but all  
193
1278040
9360
21:27
right uh let's see help far yeah you could help  a far busy teacher as well hope for busy teachers  
194
1287400
6120
21:33
teacher I have a question the pronunciation is  the same but the meaning is different examples  
195
1293520
4360
21:37
reach and Rich no these pronunciations are  different and again Frederick is the place  
196
1297880
6440
21:44
to find all of these pronunciations and hear  me say them okay so the word rich rich this is  
197
1304320
7520
21:51
a short vow I sound I I we have I and and the CH  rich rich like ooh that's a a rich like a lot of  
198
1311840
11480
22:03
money or we could talk about a chocolate being  rich like very uh dense and flavorful rich but
199
1323320
6200
22:09
Reach This is er long vow e sound so the E  re and then the same this so here we're we're  
200
1329520
12040
22:21
just changing this middle sound here but it is  different okay so rich and reach rich and reach  
201
1341560
9440
22:31
all right so two different words two different  sounds they don't sound the same but these are  
202
1351000
4640
22:35
the kinds of things as you listen and you can  compare them so in the app if you're listening  
203
1355640
5360
22:41
to something like reach versus uh preach  all right or uh or bleach or something we  
204
1361000
8400
22:49
want to have different letters and you actually  learn the differences between one one word that  
205
1369400
5080
22:54
actually sounds like another word so even  if they're uh they could be pronounced the  
206
1374480
5040
22:59
same but they're actually different words like  leak and a leak these are two different words  
207
1379520
10000
23:09
they're pronounced the same though so leak this  is a kind of vegetable like an onion a leak and  
208
1389520
5640
23:15
this kind of leak is like we have a like a  pipe with water dripping out of it a leak a  
209
1395160
5720
23:20
leak so same pronunciation but different sound  now very quickly just a rule a general rule for  
210
1400880
5840
23:26
pronunciation is if you have have two vowels  like this we usually say uh if two vowels go  
211
1406720
6720
23:33
walking the first vowel does the talking so this  is a rule that young children will often learn so  
212
1413440
7480
23:40
e so we have two vowels they're both e so this  makes the long e sound and the same thing over  
213
1420920
6800
23:47
here we have two vowels walking together so the  E and the A and so we have the E so the first uh  
214
1427720
6320
23:54
first vowel does the talking so if two vowels  go walking the first vow does the talking okay  
215
1434040
7840
24:01
so typically the EA has the long e sound long e  sound all right uh hope for a better world yes  
216
1441880
13800
24:15
uh good idea Muhammad says uh he's for that's  right yeah he's for busy teachers that's right  
217
1455680
5680
24:21
someone could be for busy teachers like if I'm  like I believe in busy busy teachers you know or  
218
1461360
5360
24:26
busty teachers for that matter MBO says do you  recommend using English to English dictionary  
219
1466720
5400
24:32
uh sure uh an English to English dictionary would  be better than using an English to whatever your  
220
1472120
5600
24:37
native language is uh but naturally varied  review is even better because uh it's nice  
221
1477720
5120
24:42
to get a definition but we want to also hear  uh other words and other examples of when we  
222
1482840
6840
24:49
might use that same vocabulary uh so if for  example you hear a word uh I recommend yish
223
1489680
8080
25:01
uh so you can put in a word you're looking for and  it will find examples for you so if you whatever  
224
1501480
4960
25:06
like we find a word like reach and we put that  into uish it will find examples of that word  
225
1506440
5880
25:12
for us and let you hear uh many different people  saying it so that's a good way to do that uh let's
226
1512320
8880
25:21
see help for a Lusty teacher that's right and  a Lusty teacher as well new here it looks like  
227
1521200
7440
25:28
the Brazil and American flags from valder D says  bridge bridge also sounds similar Bridge Melinda  
228
1528640
8240
25:36
could you explain the difference between will  do and will be doing uh this is not the time  
229
1536880
5960
25:42
for that lesson unfortunately that would be  kind of like a long thing um but I think if  
230
1542840
5600
25:48
you check our channel for that because I think  I've covered that before this is also something  
231
1548440
4640
25:53
we cover in fluent for life I just don't I don't  want to talk about like a a whole grammar point we  
232
1553080
4680
25:57
don't have uh so much time to date unfortunately  uh but if you have questions about pronunciation  
233
1557760
7480
26:05
uh something like that something shorter that I  can help you with let me know uh but maybe we'll  
234
1565240
3720
26:08
save that for another video do is what should  intermediate Learners do every day uh you should  
235
1568960
5360
26:14
find vocabulary uh and try to understand it like  a native by getting lots of examples the point  
236
1574320
6080
26:20
is uh I would actually even even start with so  someone who is an intermediate learner a better  
237
1580400
5480
26:25
thing to do would be to think about what words you  still have trouble with and then try to erase the  
238
1585880
6160
26:32
doubt for those particular words so if you know  vocabulary already but you don't feel confident  
239
1592040
6080
26:38
about using it then you have a doubt about the  vocabulary something about it uh whatever that  
240
1598120
5440
26:43
is you you should solve that issue uish is a good  way to do that fluent for Life obviously uh is a  
241
1603560
5120
26:48
good way to do that as well um and you can find  more about the programs in the description below  
242
1608680
6240
26:54
this video but uh in general it's just just  about removing doubt so any doubt you have  
243
1614920
5400
27:00
will stop you from speaking so remove the doubt  for those individual words and phrases that will  
244
1620320
5000
27:05
take you from being an intermediate learner  to a uh a confident fluent one all right we  
245
1625320
7000
27:12
do our job help for fatty teachers as well yes  that's true you could have H for fatty fatty  
246
1632320
6240
27:18
teachers or you could just say fat fat teachers  you know new natural English uh to simple English  
247
1638560
7640
27:26
uh great neonic scissors receiver yep uh the  white negro uh English will be in my opinion  
248
1646200
7520
27:33
a dead language Russian and mandrin will prevail  yeah it's possible um the interesting thing about  
249
1653720
5760
27:39
Mandarin is using it for coding which becomes  much more difficult so like the foundation uh  
250
1659480
6320
27:45
of the internet is really all in English and like  that those kinds of characters so I suppose you'd  
251
1665800
5640
27:51
have to still learn that anyway so it's possible  like Russian and Chinese will will maybe overtake  
252
1671440
5560
27:57
English but but uh I can't say for sure let's see  Neil says how do I say entrance entrance entrance  
253
1677000
9200
28:06
entrance entrance uh and most says how's it going  out there in Japan well it's going all right it's  
254
1686200
7000
28:13
uh a sunny day today we've had some colder and  Rainier weather the past few days but uh you know  
255
1693200
7640
28:20
I put on a a yellow shirt and now everything's  bright and sunny all right look at that how we  
256
1700840
6720
28:27
doing for time though all right we're going to  have to close it down I don't have unfortunately  
257
1707560
3600
28:31
much time today uh but hopefully this quick video  just gave a a good example of how you can improve  
258
1711160
6880
28:38
your pronunciation try to think about when you  see English words or sentences think about how  
259
1718040
6000
28:44
you could change something and how that would  change the sentence and you can take something  
260
1724040
4240
28:48
like that and actually put that uh into into  yish or you can look it up in Frederick most  
261
1728280
5600
28:53
of the words that we have we don't have busty  busty is not in Frederick but other words that  
262
1733880
5480
28:59
do have the same uh kind of pronunciation you  would learn them uh in Frederick as well all  
263
1739360
5680
29:05
right so let's see any final questions over here  let's see Lucas says 101 users and 42 likes well  
264
1745040
8760
29:13
you know it takes effort to click the button  you know it's easier to to not click the button  
265
1753800
5440
29:19
let's see so new natural says good without you son  Let's see uh could you please pronounce roundabout  
266
1759240
8400
29:27
roundabout roundabout roundabout English is my  passion glad to hear like says V I just found  
267
1767640
6560
29:34
you you are damn good man that's right coming from  the white negro you know that's uh all right well  
268
1774200
7840
29:42
hopefully uh everybody is enjoying this uh enjoy  the English language before it's overtaken by Uh  
269
1782040
6800
29:48
Russian and Chinese uh we'll see how long how  long that takes no one knows the future but I'm  
270
1788840
5880
29:54
still enjoying the language uh and you can also  learn multiple languages without worrying about  
271
1794720
5200
29:59
one becoming a dead language I don't think  English is going anywhere soon but we'll see  
272
1799920
4720
30:04
Diana says I'm trying to guess a definition of a  word and I'm not sure I got it right should I use  
273
1804640
5120
30:09
a translation well just use an englishto English  dictionary someone asked about that above um but  
274
1809760
6560
30:16
yeah just use an englishto English dictionary and  it should be fairly easy to understand something  
275
1816320
6000
30:22
if you can do that uh also I would just get more  examples of that thing like uish for for example  
276
1822320
5400
30:27
or even just searching right here on YouTube so  looking for a particular word whatever that means  
277
1827720
5760
30:33
uh another thing I do is if you do a Google image  search so not a regular Google word search but an  
278
1833480
6640
30:40
image search so let's say I don't know like I hear  the word bridge and I don't know exactly what that  
279
1840120
6800
30:46
means I do a Google image search for that and I  will probably find uh lots of pictures of bridges  
280
1846920
5200
30:52
and so this is a physical thing but you might  find maybe a bridge between two people that's a  
281
1852120
5560
30:57
that's a a same idea about a bridge as well like a  bridge between cultures or something so something  
282
1857680
6120
31:03
might not necessarily be a physical thing but  would still have some kind of images associated  
283
1863800
4840
31:08
with that so before you just get a translation of  something really try to understand that the same  
284
1868640
5560
31:14
way a native would as much as possible all right  I'm just thinking uh the more you can do that the  
285
1874200
5840
31:20
more you will start speaking like a native all  right uh good question should I learn words in  
286
1880040
5600
31:25
topics or from a list words like B1 B2 teacher  thank you very much um well I would focus on  
287
1885640
6600
31:32
whatever you need for your life that's the way we  do it with fluent for life so our program uh like  
288
1892240
6120
31:38
let's say you want to learn about hospitals or  taking care of pets or business or whatever that  
289
1898360
5720
31:44
thing is if you need that English for your life  focus on that so don't begin with a random word  
290
1904080
5680
31:49
list uh you think about what are the situations  where you need to use English and what vocabulary  
291
1909760
7640
31:57
might you be using in those situations then focus  on that vocabulary so that's what I would do like  
292
1917400
5880
32:03
if I'm teaching someone uh like personally or  whatever that's what I would just say what where  
293
1923280
6120
32:09
where are you using English what is the goal here  so that's what we do in fluent for life all right  
294
1929400
4840
32:14
uh that means I like you well glad to hear it  it's my pleasure uh Carlo says hi good evening  
295
1934240
4240
32:18
from Venezuela I like to interact and work uh  Ola carito from Venezuela mea Latina l langua uh  
296
1938480
9960
32:28
how do you say man versus men tan versus I can't  read that looks like the comment got cut off but  
297
1948440
5600
32:34
maybe 10 I'm guessing so man and Men man men and  T 10 again if you want to hear me pronounce these  
298
1954040
10400
32:44
things over and over and actually compare all the  different sounds just get Frederick it's all in

300
1970400
5880
32:56
not enough make make them somehow even longer  yes we would say even longer rather than even  
301
1976280
5360
33:01
more longer but yes I know some people just watch  more of them take like watch two or three videos  
302
1981640
6360
33:08
I've got uh over I think over 600 videos here  plus we have all the content influent for life  
303
1988000
6560
33:14
that's hundreds of videos as well it's taken a  long time to make all that so uh rather than and  
304
1994560
5640
33:20
again this is what people always want more they  always want new but most people are watching my  
305
2000200
5840
33:26
things and not uh and have not seen all of them  uh at all so there's definitely plenty to to  
306
2006040
6320
33:32
go back and watch if you'd like Hello thank  you for the classes Juanita it's my pleasure  
307
2012360

33:37
Ricardo says uh bought and brought have the same  pronunciation no because we have that R in there  
308
2017240
6440
33:43
so we have bought like I bought something today  at a store to buy like the past tense of buy so
309
2023680
7680
33:51
bought bought this is the same uh sound is a  
310
2031360
6880
33:58
b actually this whole thing o  u g h a so B bot and this is a
311
2038240
8040
34:06
b BR so the past of ring like bring so bring  brought bought brought so this is a blend here  
312
2046280
15360
34:21
uh two letter blend br br br br BR funniest  video with your dad was the best ever yes we  
313
2061640
10520
34:32
have a couple of those influent for life actually  I did uh I did a couple of videos with my dad  
314
2072160
5200
34:37
uh de says Brazil is in the house Yes actually  quite a few uh Brazilians in the house brother  
315
2077360
5280
34:42
says this live do you usually do every day no I  do not uh typically these lives are maybe once a  
316
2082640
5400
34:48
week I think this month it's usually my Monday  and Thursday that I do these videos all right  
317
2088040
8080
34:56
hopefully that makes sense sense mam says actually  I can speak English fluently but sometimes I can't  
318
2096120
5000
35:01
speak faster and if I try to speed out I struggle  well that's interesting uh yeah but if if your  
319
2101120
8000
35:09
if your problem is fluency but you just want to  speak faster I would practice the same thing and  
320
2109120
5040
35:14
just try to say it faster maybe say some tongue  twisters or something but figure out what the  
321
2114160
5160
35:19
specific issue is that's blocking you uh and then  try to solve that thing uh car says how many weeks  
322
2119320
8520
35:27
do you think I can dedicate to your intensive  course how many weeks do I think do you think  
323
2127840
7000
35:34
I can dedicate well I don't know what you can do  but uh flu if you're talking about fluent for life  
324
2134840
5200
35:40
it's designed to help people uh in 15 minutes  a day if you if you I mean you should everybody  
325
2140040
5840
35:45
should have at least 15 minutes a day but it's  going to give you faster results than really  
326
2145880
5120
35:51
doing anything else so if you can spend more time  you will get faster Improvement but hopefully you  
327
2151000
5560
35:56
have at least 15 minutes a day that you can learn  so there's people who want to uh basically just  
328
2156560
6520
36:03
have me like get them fluent without them having  to do much uh thinking but yes the whole point  
329
2163080
6120
36:09
is to to do it quickly and easily and not take  so much time in your day Joseph says how can I  
330
2169200
5560
36:14
differentiate between can and can't when speaking  fast uh typically that's it's from the the context  
331
2174760
6440
36:21
and I've explained this in videos before where you  can look at somebody's face so not only listening  
332
2181200
5960
36:27
to what they say but if I say yeah I can do that  yeah I can I can do that so I'm I'm nodding moving  
333
2187160
6200
36:33
my head up and down yeah I can do that I can do  that or no I can't I can't do that I can't do that  
334
2193360
5920
36:39
I can't do that so pay attention it's a little  bit more difficult if they uh if you can't see  
335
2199280
5920
36:45
the person but uh the more like pieces of input  that you have like how they look or their body  
336
2205200
6520
36:51
language or uh specific movements they make uh uh  let's see do I says in the future I want to be an  
337
2211720
8360
37:00
English teacher do you think non-native people  like me should know a lot of things about every  
338
2220080
4240
37:04
topic um well you should know what you're teaching  whatever that is at the at the bare minimum um but  
339
2224320
8560
37:12
yeah I mean depending on what you what you want to  do but you should know you should know more than  
340
2232880
5400
37:18
the student you don't you don't realistically  need to know more uh than like a lot more than  
341
2238280
7560
37:25
the student to teach someone you just you need to  know like a little bit more than them at least so  
342
2245840
5160
37:31
often parents are teaching their children at home  like native parents are teaching their kids and  
343
2251000
5200
37:36
and they're not qualified teachers they don't have  a degree or anything but they're still teaching  
344
2256200
4920
37:41
their kids uh let's see Carlos again I want to  speak with the American accent East Coast well  
345
2261120
8400
37:49
then you need to listen to more people with that  accent that's how you do it uh let's see Lucas  
346
2269520
5240
37:54
says outside Japan saw in Brazil there are more  Japanese in the world yes I know you have a lot  
347
2274760
5680
38:00
of population of uh I actually have some friends  out here uh from from Brazil and the husband is  
348
2280440
6560
38:07
Japanese uh Juani says do you have videos for  TOEFL no we don't uh specifically teach people  
349
2287000
6440
38:13
for tests so if you're looking for a specific  test prep you should look elsewhere but we  
350
2293440
5480
38:18
do help people become better speakers and that's  what actually helps you on the test Katherine says  
351
2298920
4760
38:23
hello from looks like California all right uh well  that should be it again I wanted to make just a  
352
2303680
5120
38:28
quick video Let's see Kevin say user being logged  out is this sentence mean that the user is being  
353
2308800
5760
38:34
intentionally signed out into a system uh yes I  mean it would mean yes like a user is being like  
354
2314560
6440
38:41
logged out like maybe they didn't try to do that  but not necessarily it could mean uh like they're  
355
2321000
6160
38:47
they logged themselves out and now they are going  through the process of logging out like that so  
356
2327160
5240
38:52
you could describe it either way which state  of America people do speak English more clear  
357
2332400
4120
38:56
clearly uh Midwest is pretty good for natural  speaking that's easier to understand that's  
358
2336520
5560
39:02
where I'm from Chicago all right uh but if you do  have more questions especially about pronunciation  
359
2342080
6240
39:08
or you're nervous about which way uh or how do I  spell a particular word we're going to help you do  
360
2348320
6200
39:14
that in Frederick fluent for Life obviously that  covers everything much more than just spelling  
361
2354520
4640
39:19
and pronunciation but if you just want the app  Frederick will help you do that uh right last  
362
2359160
5920
39:25
question is over here Sebastian says I know there  are 12 tenses but which ones are important well  
363
2365080
5880
39:30
that's I don't know it's like saying there are  many pieces of a car but which one is important  
364
2370960
4680
39:35
you know they're they're all necessary so it just  depends on what you're speaking about and uh you  
365
2375640
6000
39:41
should really know everything if you're trying to  be prepared for conversations and you don't know  
366
2381640
5120
39:46
uh like exactly what you will need so rather than  thinking about some tenses obviously some tenses  
367
2386760
5520
39:52
are used more frequently than others like if I'm  just saying something happen in the simple present  
368
2392280
5280
39:57
or the simple past that would be more frequent  frequently used uh Chicago yes you didn't know  
369
2397560
7360
40:04
that how to use these two words hustle and hustle  it's it's the same same pronunciation hustle and  
370
2404920
6200
40:11
hustle hustle but like hustle like let me see  yeah there I mean the pronunciation is the same  
371
2411120
8440
40:19
is that is that what you're what you're asking  about or the like the definition of those uh  
372
2419560
5120
40:24
anx says thank you sir take care of yourself my  16-month-old toddler already speaks three English  
373
2424680
5960
40:30
words fluently hello up and pop up very good yep  so that's the that's the key we get fluent in  
374
2430640
4600
40:35
individual words and phrases K says can you teach  Japanese I love to learn Japanese from you uh I  
375
2435240
5760
40:41
could teach some Japanese and I do occasionally  just for examples um on on these videos but I  
376
2441000
6440
40:47
don't I I I I would wouldn't I wouldn't recommend  you learn Japanese from me I'd recommend you learn  
377
2447440
6160
40:53
it from uh from people who are also who people who  number one are native speakers I would recommend  
378
2453600
6720
41:00
that because they know more than just the language  they know the culture and uh vocabulary and uh  
379
2460320
6320
41:06
like anything else you would want to know uh but  they would also be able to help you with um like  
380
2466640
7080
41:13
like understanding understanding like things  that like a child might learn it and ideally  
381
2473720
4880
41:18
they're also able to teach you Japanese as a  first language I know not many people do that  
382
2478600
4320
41:22
but that's what you would be looking for all  right uh but yes but sometimes I continue to  
383
2482920
4960
41:27
do that cof says best teacher ever glad to hear it  Katherine will uh that would be awesome well we'll  
384
2487880
5920
41:33
