Remember This To Reach English Fluency

back again for another video let's  see if this is working come on

YouTube okay all right we should be  there uh if you can see this and you  

can comment feel free to comment let  me know where you're from as usual if  

you have any questions while we go through  this I will keep my eye on chat make sure

working okay I think we are all right I am Drew  Badger the founder of englishanyone.com and the  

English fluency guide welcome to another live  video here on YouTube today as always we're  

going to be talking about how to become a fluent  English speaker uh and something happened to me  

yesterday I thought this was interesting I would  share it with you what subasa first comment do  

Sensei nice to see you there well and Nils  look at that Miss Annette I am the first you  

are almost the first hello there in Wisconsin  all right uh so as I usually do we're going to  

be talking about uh fluency and helping you  express yourself better uh by remembering  

one very important Point uh let me erase the board  here as we get started hopefully everyone is doing  

well this should be pretty quick these markers  are actually this is erasing pretty well today

all right we're ready to begin uh so yesterday  actually I was in a bus uh and I was just getting  

a ride and I noticed on the street so I live in  Nagasaki Japan and for the first time ever in my  

life I saw a quiz on a street sign for the rules  of the road so I thought this was a I'll give you  

the the English translation of this but basically  I was in the bus and I noticed a regular this is  

a like a digital street sign so in Japan they can  for some of these they can change what's written  

uh on the sign uh and it had this a picture  of a diamond like this and just in Japanese  

it said do you know what this symbol means so  it said do you know what this symbol means U  

and I just thought wow look at that they're  actually giving a quiz on the Road and this  

is this wasn't like a driving school or anything  this is just a regular street but they were using  

the sign as a way to remind people of something  they should already know okay uh incidentally  

this diamond uh you see this it means there's uh  some kind of Crossing up ahead uh so you don't  

need to remember that but the interesting thing  was like they understood the principle I want to  

talk about in this video which is the review the  reminders you need as you get fluent are really  

the most important thing and often when people  learning uh people learning languages they stop  

before they get enough reminders or enough  review before they actually become fluent  

so I wanted to give some examples of this today  uh some very simple examples but also teach you  

some new vocabulary hopefully just to make this  point very clear so again just a review I'm in  

a bus and I see this sign that's saying do you  know what this symbol means so everybody should  

know what it means but just in case here's a  reminder but it's also helpful for people who  

are maybe riding in the car who don't know what  something means like young children or people  

who might be uh learning to ride uh or learning  to drive a car uh and so they want to know what  

this means and so it again it just means a  uh usually like if there's an intersection  

here where we're going to have uh traffic coming  from different ways there would be a diamond up  

here just letting you know hey very soon there's  going to be an intersection so you should slow  

down all right so this lesson is not about uh the  rules of the road in Japan but I just thought it  

was interesting that there's a lot of this uh  here a lot of quizzes and reminders and things  

that help people understand uh so I wanted  to begin with that story but then actually  

just give a practical lesson about how this works  I've given this in different ways in videos and I  

wanted to teach some new vocabulary so if you  already know what this word is don't share it  

with the comments but I just want to prove this  point by teaching you uh a new word but the way  

you might experience it not from a teacher but  in the real world as your hearing vocabulary all  

right so I'm going to draw a picture over here as  we get started so let's see here uh and I'm going  

to write a word I'll draw the picture first and  then I will write a word under here and you can  

tell me in the comments what you think it means  all right very simple so this is an English word  

I've done this before with what I call like a fake  alien language uh just to prove the same point but  

I thought I would teach you some interesting uh  English vocabulary today as well uh so let's see  

we're going to draw and I will try to be better  than my normal uh drawing over here so pretty

simple all right uh so I want you to tell me what  

you think this means uh I'm  going to write the word down

here so that is the word I will say it for  you Zephyr Zephyr now if you know what this  

word is don't write it in the comments I want  you to give people uh give people who don't  

know what this might mean to uh give them a  chance to try to guess and figure out what  

this means so the first word here uh the  word we're focusing on is Zephyr and now  

in a regular situation maybe just in everyday  life you might see this situation you might  

see something like a scene like this in the real  world and then he the word zephyr so Karina says

wind okay anyone else now if you already know what  this word means you don't need to say what it is  

but I'm just curious to know what people think so  often again when you hear a word the first time  

you see something it might not be immediately  clear let's see Annette gives the uh this face  

I'm say I'm going to try to draw that the uh the  I don't know hands up motion okay so it could mean  

wind it could mean I don't know I know I'm just  I'm just joking here but so Post in the comments  

what you think it means okay what does it mean  says Unice Zephyr well come on now this is your  

chance so this is the point of this lesson  this exercise right here is to simulate what  

it's like to learn a new language especially  if you're learning by yourself so you don't  

have anyone to just tell you what something means  your brain is trying to figure this out so let's  

say we're we we go to the ocean together or even  you are just standing at you know some like ocean  

area or or looking at a lake or something and  you see this scene and you hear some other people  

talking about uh oh look like and just someone is  maybe talking uh and they say uh Zephyr Zephyr so  

you hear that word but maybe you don't quite  understand what it means means uh and so you  

hear oh I wonder what that means and I'm trying  to figure this out all right so let me write down  

a couple of what we have here so a ship at Sea  so Zephyr could mean a ship at Sea uh what else

vacation like a vacate t i o n excuse me like a  

vacation on the ocean uh good morning  teacher says minori so waves or boat  

uh boat all right so these are all uh these are  all plausible it's another good word for you

plausible plausible so plausible means like it  could fit it it seems logical it seems like it  

could be these are all plausible definitions  of the word zephyr based on this situation  

okay so remember we're going to the ocean or  you are there by yourself and you hear some  

other people maybe some native English speakers  talking and you hear the word zephyr all right so  

you see this scene you hear the word zephyr now  we're going to take this another step further  

let's say you're in a different situation  we're going to draw a different situation  

here so let's see we're going to draw let's  see kind of a kind of a window here of the

window and we're gonna draw so like this

and another another not so good picture over here  but again the same word zephyr pretty pretty bad  

picture here let me let me clean this up a little  bit I know my my drawing is not particularly good

but want to make sure this is this is not  unnecessarily difficult so here we have  

let's see so we have

our all right so another picture  this is also Zephyr Zephyr all  

right so Unice thinks a storm so we  have to think about both of these  

both this scene and this scene are  Zephyr so it could mean storm Maybe

could mean storm let me give you  another example so let's say you  

hear this scene maybe you were in someone's  house you're looking out their window these  

are some curtains over here and oh they're  they're kind of moving a little bit that's  

interesting and you hear the word zephyr  zephyr again and here's another one let's

see so we got some leaves right here those are  supposed to be leaves and we hear again the word

zephyr zephyr fabrio says hello from Brazil  okay so all of these you're hearing the word  

zephyr in all of these different situations  and as you hear more or see more examples  

and hear the same word your brain is  trying to figure out what exactly this  

means because you don't have anyone to just  tell you what the meaning is they give you  

another example here we have a uh a book we just  draw a book here from the side it's open in the

pages the pages are moving like

this okay now these are very simple  pictures but let me know what you  

think Zephyr means after looking  at all four of these images here  

what nil says Seasons I suppose  we could have seasons in there

wh

Wendy anyone else anyone else same thing Zephyr  Zephyr when yeah right I'm trying to figure out  

what it means yes so this is like a puzzle  and you can think about this especially if  

you're trying to uh teach children or even when  you're you're noticing uh you're noticing your  

your you're learning when you hear different  things uh the first time you hear something it  

might be difficult to understand what that  means and that's okay that's that's normal  

you know someone if they're not just telling  you the answer you're just trying to figure  

it out it takes multiple times this what I  call naturally varied review uh where you  

hear these different examples or see these  different examples and you start to develop  

vocabulary but I can see the word coming out  from more people so Zephyr means gentle breathe

so yes it's like wind so we have the idea of  a gentle breeze blowing a sailboat over here  

a gentle breeze moving some curtains a gentle  breeze blowing some leaves over here uh and  

we have a gentle breeze blowing the pages of a  book okay and obviously this would be a little  

bit easier to see if you had uh like nice videos  or pictures or something like that but actually  

showed you what's happening here okay so we're  looking at an example and we see oh look at that  

like the sailboat is moving over here it's got  a nice breeze blowing here and as you see those  

examples as you get more and more of these things  oh it really helps you understand what's happening  

and you discover that by yourself rather than  having a a person just tell you what the meaning  

is so this is typically how people are learning  just naturally as you get more examples and the  

more examples you get that's what it means okay  so you understand what something means as you get  

more examples and you start feeling more confident  so when you first see this example like it could  

mean sailboat maybe I'm talking about sailboat  maybe I'm talking about a lake or an ocean  

or something like that or it could be the color  whatever I'm referring to uh but you see oh maybe  

there's some wind or some waves in there it's  not quite clear so you still have some kind of  

doubt about what's happening here but as you get  more examples it becomes more clear so the doubt  

disappears you feel more confident and now you  come to understand oh a zephyr is a gentle bre so  

you can think about like a zeper blew through the  house or a zephyr blew uh like it was a a hot day  

so the the the pleasant Zephyr that blew through  uh like it's basically like a gentle gentle wind  

so a breeze just like oh a gentle breeze so A  Gentle Wind so zepher uh rather than having like  

K say it means marshmallow nice but I maybe that  maybe that comes from like a cloud or something  

like that all right so I these are supposed to be  scenes in real life that you might experience and  

then hear the word just as an example to give  you something more difficult that you probably  

didn't know already zephra okay so if you hear  this now you will probably remember the word  

you will understand what it means and you can use  it much more fluently and confidently okay so as  

you've gotten more examples of it uh you get the  feeling like oh this is not like a super strong  

breeze it's just just a gentle nice relaxing uh  nice relaxing Breeze all right so gentle breeze  

Gentle Wind okay makes sense everybody getting  the idea here all right so just like the story  

that I explained at the beginning of this  video where we're talking about a quiz so the  

the Japanese like local Nagasaki I don't know  I guess transportation department or whatever  

U so they're giving people a quiz on things they  should already know if they're driving but this  

is also useful for people uh learning new things  so a young child might see this quiz hey what what  

does that diamond mean and they're like oh they  get interested in what that is and maybe they'  

they've seen that diamond many times on the road  but they've never thought about it okay so again  

this example of a street sign where a child sees  that an adult should know what that means uh if  

they've if they put if they've put this in a uh  like I don't know in gotten an explanation about  

it but usually people should should have that uh  if they've taken the driver's test uh for getting  

a Japanese driver's license but there are lots of  good reasons to do something like that and so I  

was excited to see that just as a way that people  are teaching uh teaching something like that uh  

but it it proves this same example so the more  uh and varied examples you get but you notice uh  

if we go through these examples I didn't just tell  you to repeat this I don't show you the same flash  

card again and again because your understanding  doesn't improve if I just repeat something again  

and again all right so this is a very important  concept when people talk about learning something  

new you have to if you can't quite understand what  it is you have to approach it from a different  

angle you have to see it in a different cont  context but it's a similar kind of thing so  

what do these things all have in common and this  is like a quiz kind of format that even children  

know like what's the same or what's different  between these different images so the same thing  

here is this kind of gentle breeze even though you  can't really see it very well I think someone just  

asked for another sentence uh but like a gentle  Zephyr or a zephyr blue through the town so you  

can use it the same way you would talk about a  wind or a light wind or a gentle breeze a zephyr  

zephyr so the cool Zephyr blew off of the ocean  The Zephyr blew off the ocean okay or it came off  

of the ocean so it's just a gentle breathe so you  can hear how I'm repeating this again and again  

but I'm saying it in different ways okay it's the  varied review that helps you understand something  

and again uh if you're in the like the real world  just learning by yourself and you hear different  

language the more you can organize this for  yourself the faster you will get fluent okay but I  

want you to also remember the first time you hear  something you might not understand it and that's  

okay all right the first time you hear something  you you learn some new vocabulary it might not be  

clear and that's okay because look just like this  example here if I don't tell you what something  

means or someone else doesn't tell you what  something means then you might not understand  

it but if you pay attention and think okay maybe I  can find some more examples and try to understand  

but the moment you start to get more examples you  start to understand it better the doubt goes away  

you feel more confident and then you can start  saying the word all right so we don't become  

fluent by just repeating something again and  again even if a teacher gives us an example this  

is less helpful than getting a bunch of different  examples and discovering the vocabulary meaning  

for yourself okay so yes I could just tell you at  the beginning of the lesson all right class today  

the word is Zephyr and I'm just going to give  you a definition of it and then you will probably  

forget it but because I've taught you this way you  will remember the vocabulary make sense all right  

let me go back and check chat uh I'm going to do  this with another example after I look at chat but  

let me know if you have any questions hopefully  this makes sense though all right uh I think yeah  

okay we got through all of those things all right  Omar says are these words the same meaning yes so  

hopefully that uh like it's clear now so Zephyr  it's the same meaning for all of these situations  

we have a wind over here blowing a sailboat  or blowing some curtains blowing some leaves  

blowing the pages of a book you can think about  the book you're not looking at it like this but  

looking at it this way so kind of down you can  see the pages moving like this all right dank  

says why don't you sleep uh I I do all right  let's see hopefully everybody gets that though  

all right so K says good morning T nice to see  you again I'm off today haha nice to see so yeah  

it's like that but I don't want to just translate  it for you yes so it's kind of like a it's like a  

kind of gentle gentle breathe so Omar says all of  these seen the same meaning all these Define pick  

how all of these are Zephyr yes and so again it's  like a quiz but in real life this is often how  

we're learning we get something and we don't quite  understand what it means so if you don't have  

someone like me to try to help you get a bunch  of examples you should get a bunch of examples  

okay so it's much easier to understand things if  we get more examples rather than trying to just  

repeat something we don't really understand uh all  right let's see and we've got some looks like some  

I don't know I can't read that and Van vanderhagen  says we can think of a relationship is ever going  

to be a gentle Brea that also be a ship name  Zephyr because the atmology I mean the derivations  

of relationships is possible yes and so the the  the the atmology of the word zephyr is actually  

the Greek god zepherus zepherus just put it here  Z let me make sure that fits I'll put it down

here z e p h y r u s zepherus so this is the  Greek god of what do you think this is the  

Greek God of of what could you guess I'll leave  that for people in the chat again I don't it's  

better to let you try to figure that out what  rather than just tell you the answer but this  

is a Greek god of something what do you think  it is I bet you could figure it out all right

uh and okay what does mean okay Unice  got that already I think all right  

uh what does it mean okay does everybody  get it though so gentle meaning relaxing  

slow like a kind of slight breeze it's  like if I wave my hand like that you  

would feel a little bit of a breeze  there so a light wind blowing on you

uh let's see Joel says hi Drew how many words I  need to learn for fluency and if I try to reach  

a B2 level where should I start uh so how many  words for fluency I've answered this many times  

but the basic idea is that you don't get  fluent by learning more words you become  

fluent in individual words as you understand them  better and hopefully this makes sense all right so  

rather than you trying to remember uh a bunch of  different examples or a bunch of different words  

like you should really understand the vocabulary  well so this this kind of little lesson here is to  

help you understand the word zephyr and to help  you understand it like a native okay uh I think  

some people are asking questions here yes if you  have arrived late uh so the basic idea is that you  

don't get you don't get fluent and you typically  will not understand something well the first time  

you explain something okay or the first time uh  you see it or hear it or even like like I could  

even say something uh and you might not get it the  first time and it's okay all right it's my job to  

make the language understandable and I do that by  continuing to reinforce something or to explain  

it in different ways or show it in different ways  teach it in different ways and that's what helps  

you understand the concept okay so me even like  I'm not a a genius for learning I also need to get  

lots of examples in order to understand something  okay but this this is not about being very smart  

it's hard to understand what things mean because  just getting one example it's not really clear  

what's what's happening here or what the what the  focus of the thing is it could be the sailboat so  

you might hear the word zephyr and think oh he's  talking about a sailboat all right but again I'm  

not trying to teach you uh a specific thing the  whole point is as you get uh as you get more  

examples you discover the meaning of something  for yourself and that feeling of Discovery is  

what is what really gives you the confidence to  speak so it's erasing the doubt and and replacing  

that doubt with confidence and certainty as you  understand the word better okay so when people  

ask me how many words should you know to become  fluent here's an example of being fluent in one  

word here's an example of being fluent in one  word okay so if you think about children small  

English like English-speaking uh little kids uh as  they're learning the language they have a smaller  

vocabulary so they know fewer words than lots of  adult non-native English learners but they speak  

better because they know that vocabulary well  okay so it's much better to to have a smaller  

vocabulary and know it really well than to to know  a lot of words and not be able to express yourself  

all right so if you're talking about getting to  a particular level of fluency this is how you do  

it you don't stop when you just hear something  okay maybe I understand what that word means as  

you get more examples you really understand  something well and you know how to use it so  

you feel feel confident about saying that word  that's the whole point of this video all right  

so I began if you are late I began talking about  an example of a street sign I saw here in Japan  

that was actually giving a quiz about a symbol  on the road and it's asking drivers do you know  

what this means so everybody should know what this  means but it's good to review okay and especially  

young kids or anybody else who's new that are  maybe they they're looking at little signs on  

the Road or something and they think oh I wonder  what that means so it's the same idea if you're  

walking through Japan and you see like you know  here's a street sign that looks like this it's  

like a a circle with a with a line through it like  that I've drawn that very badly but but imagine  

you see this on the road and you think well I  don't know what that means or what or even what  

does like an arrow mean it could mean different  things in different places and so typically you  

need to get more examples of something uh and you  can just ask ask someone what it means so I can  

I can hear a word like Zephyr and then look it up  in a dictionary or get a translation or something  

like that but the fluency comes as you understand  the word better so yes you can just get like an  

explanation of the word and I'm giving you an  explanation after giving you all these examples  

but again the point is to demonstrate what it's  like learning a language in the real world so  

especially if you're learning by yourself don't  feel bad if you don't understand something right  

away okay so a lot of people uh they might hear a  word or they don't remember it very well they feel  

frustrated about that and then they quit Okay so  I'm saying this is this is part of the plan this  

is the thing to remember as you're getting fluent  so if you want to reach fluency you have to know  

you have to understand that the first example or  the first time you hear something you're probably  

not going to get it that's okay all right it's  not really possible to understand what this means  

perfectly without someone just telling you okay  so don't feel bad about that remember this as you  

learn the first example will just get you started  and so the lesson the lesson is not one example  

the lesson is actually all of these examples  together and so if you can give yourself more  

of these examples so this is what I do in fluent  for Life helping people understand what things  

mean by giving them lots of examples but you can  do this by yourself if you get more examples uh  

but the point is is when you understand something  very well and that usually comes as you get more  

examples of something that's when you really feel  fluent because you understand the the language  

well not because you memorize the definition  okay so native English speakers and the way you  

learned your native language as well this is how  you learned it you probably heard many words when  

you were young and maybe you didn't get another  example of of a word or something for many years  

after that and many years later you heard that  word again and then you finally understood what it  

meant you know it's kind of like when you when you  look at uh like watch a movie when you're a child  

uh and you see some actor and you don't really  know who these people are they're just people in  

a movie to you but when you see those actors later  in other movies or as you get older and you think  

oh W look at that it was that that person in that  movie okay it's the it's the combination of these  

things it's all of these examples together  that really gives you the lesson that builds  

fluency all right so this is the thing I want  you to remember all right uh let me go through  

chat again and then we'll go through some more  examples and hopefully this will be uh even more  

helpful for you guys today so notice again like  you're you're hearing actually me using lots of  

English words the focus of the video so far is  just talking about this individual one single  

word zephyr uh but hopefully you're getting  the idea if we really understand something  

we feel more confident about using it all right  that's the idea Zephyr it's a fun sounding word  

too Zephyr Zephyr all right uh but let me know  if anybody still does not get it as you can see  

through the pictures globalization teacher uh  vanderhagen says the amazing thing is that by  

explaining those Concepts to us in a fluent  and natural tone you're already providing us  

a natural way of learning the language yes so  I'm I'm kind of giving you the background of  

how language learning works but also like the the  lesson is is not just this specific word if you're  

paying attention to the way I speak you will also  be improving you will understand more uh and you  

will feel more fluent all right I think everyone's  got it though all right somebody asked what time  

it was wheelchair guy says hello uh let's see hi  Su people how y'all doing all right the great God  

of coolness yes so the uh the Greek god zephrus  is actually the god of the West Wind uh and then  

that became that chain just over time to Latin  to English and now we have the word zephyr for  

talking about a breeze so again that's another  kind of dimension of understanding the word and  

feeling more confident about it so this is you  can think like one one dimension is just seeing  

different examples of the word another way of  improving your understanding of it is learning  

the history or the origin where the word came from  so if we have a Greek god named zephrus and oh  

interestingly surprisingly enough it's a Greek god  of wind like the West Wind and so now you should  

be feeling wow like this word is Unforgettable  at this point now I'm going to be able to use  

this I will hear it when people are talking about  it it's a really uh it's a it's a pretty uncommon  

word for English Learners to know but uh you  will hear uh this word used I think even on  

U like when I was growing up uh there was a radio  like a radio show I think in Chicago called Zephyr  

and that was it was just like kind of gentle  relaxing classical music so you can think about  

the same kind of idea so that's interesting  they would choose a name like Zephyr for

that all right so I think people are getting it  though so try to try to use that up use your your  

natural human pattern recognition to think like  okay what's the what's the thing connecting all  

of these examples and as you get those examples  you will feel much more confident about it so it  

people are getting it though all right uh again  every time you explain a concept and then explain  

the same thing in different words with different  analogy you're indeed providing the best natural  

okay gotcha got the example yes glad you got  it all right the red goat is back uh let's see  

K I've been thinking about comprehension so you  mean comprehensible uh input uh which is English  

conversation I'd like to be able to understand  what they say more quickly like in my tongue uh  

so the idea of comprehensible input like what I'm  giving you here to comprehend something just means  

you understand it and input means it's what I'm  saying to you or what you hear from other people  

or see or read or whatever it's not what you say  it's what other people say to you so this example  

is also basically a lesson about comprehensible  input but it's helping you understand English the  

way a native speaker would learn the language and  so rather than just telling you a definition or a  

translation of something you come to understand  it naturally by getting these different examples  

so the comprehensible input really the goal  of this is the elimination of Doubt so even  

if you understand like my words you might not  really feel confident enough about something  

to say it yourself and so you need more examples  typically uh until you feel really confident that  

you understand the pronunciation the usage uh  maybe if it's connected to grammar maybe how I  

can use something so all of those things improve  as you get more examples but the point really  

is that you don't become fluent just by getting  a word and repeating it again and again you get  

fluent by understanding the thing better okay  let's see here all right and N says I love the way  

you explain glad to hear it excellent explanation  says Helen uh but yes uh so Koo the same idea as  

you're learning more like a native you will speak  more like a native that's how it works so if you  

learn English through [ __ ] jaanese or Chinese  or French or Spanish or Italian whatever then  

you will think through those languages when you  speak and the reason like typical teaching like  

a regular English lesson is like this you really  just get one example and a teacher because this is  

actually hard to understand by itself the teacher  just gives you a translation or a definition and  

then the lesson ends okay go home now and I want  you to repeat this word put it on a flash card  

and remember it but it's not really teaching  you anything all right the goal of a teacher  

the real job of a teacher is to make the  language understandable so you understand  

and feel confident about using the language all  right it seems like a a silly thing to say uh  

but that's really the goal here if you want to  speak so you can try to memorize a whole bunch  

of vocabulary for a test or something but if you  actually want to uh Express Yourself fluently and  

confidently you need to really understand what  you're learning all right uh actually mother  

language acquisition is not consistent along  different languages even though you're m that  

provides an opportunity for Learners of English as  a second language to correct any issue uh I'm not  

aware of a different way that people would learn  a language other than being able to understand  

what that language is uh so and this is another  reason when people talk about various languages  

being like easy or difficult uh if you look at  children in different countries it's it's not like  

people learn Chinese like Chinese children are are  learning like and they they become only able to  

speak after 10 years they they begin speaking you  see little Chinese kids speaking little english-  

speaking kids speaking Japanese kids speaking  they're all basically learning the language  

they're learn learning to speak at the same rate  so there's nothing intrinsically Difficult about  

that and they're all learning the same way because  there's really only one way for the like our our  

Hardware like as a a human brain the way it's  trying to learn you have to understand something  

if you don't really understand something your  natural uh aversion or your natural uh dislike  

of making mistakes in front of other people that  will stop you from speaking so this is the same  

for native speakers as well so uh unless you got  some science or something that or some studies or  

something that prove that there's a different way  uh of learning a language that's some that's like  

unique for this one group of people I've never  heard anything about that uh that would surprise  

me and I would wonder why everyone wouldn't be  doing it the same way uh but I'm not familiar  

with anything anything like that so if you if  you know I'm always looking for the best way to  

help people learn um and it makes sense that we  would all learn the same way uh in the same way  

that you would like you know like animals learn  the same way too like they're learning through  

experience and they're learning through examples  and and testing different things like that all

right uh let's see un says it happened to  me with these words the first time I heard  

them Enlighten versus illuminate insist versus  emphasize uh intimidating versus threaten some  

of them are similar yes and so it's important to  get lots of examples and now this is interesting  

for me like I I'll draw let me let me show you  something in in Japanese this is pretty funny  

you have to have to forgive me if you are new to  my channel because I speak Japanese uh sometimes  

I will give Japanese examples now I'm going  to write this to see if I remember because  

this is a little bit a little bit tricky you'll  see why uh but for learning Japanese character  

so writing the The Borrowed Chinese characters  that it's called kanji in Japanese so Japanese  

has three different written languages actually  four if you include uh English uh so let's see  

we have like two different I'm just going to  draw the characters because my my reading of  

them is is not good I understand what they  mean but this is just to give you an example  

of something that looks very similar but you  might think oh my goodness like uh it's it's  

it's amazing that people would would look at  two different characters and and and be able  

to like remember remember these examples  so let and I just I just learned these  

these Kani recently uh so let's see if I  can remember them uh so let's see we've

got if I've got this correct here  so this is one uh and this is the

other look at that

amazing and so you it's like you look at these  things it's like wow that that really looks like  

the same character if you looked at it pretty  quickly uh you know you would probably think  

like how do I how do I remember these or even  something like simp like simpler uh like like  

so versus you know like and again like they  look very similar and I could see how maybe  

people like especially English-speaking kids you  know they might make a mistake like something  

something like that so there's similarities uh  where people are learning learning characters  

and if you if you just try to look at something  like that and try to memorize it it's much more  

difficult uh than trying to spend some time  with it okay so as you as you spend more time  

with the vocabulary it's like oh like look at  that like there is like a little bit different  

here look at this this little square is above  the line or this square is below the line you  

know little little things like that that you  notice uh about the characters all right this is

getting anyway uh so the point is as you get  more examples and really spend time with the  

vocabulary whatever it is and so that was just  a written example uh where you're looking at  

different different characters that look the  same and that's why you go to a new country  

and you see all these different characters if  there's a written like the the written language  

is different then of course it's going to be  uh more difficult Toyota yes and so there like  

they're interesting examples like this with people  uh people learning the languages uh but as you get  

more examples that's the thing we really need  because we really need to understand something  

in order to feel confident about saying it all  right that's the basic idea all right uh hello  

everyone watching from Brazil says Luciano Zephyr  in Arabic literally pronounced in the same way as  

English means exhaling uh which has a lot to do  with wind y and there you go and that's another  

way to remember it so remember this is an old  word we have a Greek god name from many years  

ago that's going to get translated in different  words and uh in different languages just like  

we have like other words uh from Arabic or Chinese  or Japanese or whatever like typhoon in English so

typhoon so typhoon in English coming  from tyon from Chinese or Japanese  

same idea so like a a strong this is a  like a Pacific hurricane a typhoon all

right uh let's

see all right I think we got it there all  right so the Korean there I can't read that  

for example make me to get understand easily  thanks glad to hear unes but I figured out the  

difference between them with more examples  yes that's the point okay says I listen to  

a lot of English every day but I probably listen  listen to them in an inefficient way what is the  

best way to listen All right so this is a good  point here so like I just gave you an example  

of we're looking at a few different things like  this is Zephyr this is Zephyr this is Zephyr as  

well um and often when people are learning they  say like koo's example here they're listening  

to a lot of English it's often a lot of random  different things and if there's no connection  

between the like the different things you're  listening to then yes it is is an inefficient  

or unsystematic way of learning so I I just gave  you like a very systematic way of learning and  

when you have a teacher to explain things yes  it's much easier to do that but you can often  

control this by yourself if you're learning by  yourself so if I'm learning about something I  

would pick a specific topic and focus on that it  could be a vocabulary word or a grammar point or a  

topic whatever that is but I want to get enough  examples I don't need a thousand examples but  

enough examples it could be four or three  or two or one even if I really understand  

something but you have to learn in a systematic  way to develop fluency so your brain is looking  

for more information to really understand things  and if you give that to your brain then you will  

feel happy and you will learn quickly and become a  fluent speaker much faster but if you learn random  

vocabulary and you don't really understand it very  well uh then yes it's going to take you more time  

and you probably won't understand so if I listen  to some spe on YouTube about growing plants and  

then I listen to a doctor talking about raising  children and I've watched somebody else uh talk  

about making ice cream there might be some general  vocabulary like the word the that that's used in  

all of those things but it's not really helping  me systematically understand that vocabulary  

now if I watch maybe 10 different videos  about people making ice cream do you think I  

would get more fluent when being able to talk  about ice cream you know would I understand that  

better probably so it could be watching videos  or maybe I get a Blog and a YouTube video and  

listen to somebody else or a podcast or something  about whatever that particular topic is but that's  

going to be the systematic way of giving my brain  structured comprehensible input and the goal of  

that is to eliminate doubt so I can speak okay  so if you just listen to random stuff uh like  

watching random videos about different topics  that's probably going to waste your time uh or  

it will if you do learn something it will just  take a lot longer so you might not understand  

something the first time and then you don't hear  it again this is why people often will say I watch  

movies or read books but I don't really feel  more fluent and it's because they're they're  

just doing kind of random getting random  information and it's not in a systematic way

all right uh Miguel says a good teacher glad  to hear Vin said Drew every time I watch your  

lesson I feel very motivated to keep learning  the language and make me aware that I only  

need natural varied yes so if you mean naturally  varied review so the goal like naturally varied  

review the point like I just gave with those  Zephyr examples the point of that is to help  

you understand something better all right uh and  Vander says the problem is not the translation but  

just the but just the translation that is without  using new words in different contexts yes well  

I don't quite understand what you're saying but  the the point is like if you think about learning  

any language it doesn't matter like you're  learning programming or you're learning like  

even to speak in your native language but using  particular vocabulary for a company maybe you  

have to speak more I don't know use particular  vocabulary for an industry something like that  

the point is if you learn it and understand it  directly then there's no need to translate and  

that will stop you from getting stuck in  conversations all right thank you for your  

good advice says Koo yes give it a try anything I  tell you you don't have to believe what I say just  

give it a try and so if it works I try to give  lots of examples just to prove what I'm talking  

about but go ahead try it for yourself and see if  I'm uh if I'm incorrect says hi there Drew it's 4  

o'clock in the morning here I'm doing uh my part  of the world okay how are you doing so I'm doing  

well summer says uh hi Drew love your streams I  am at work in Sydney Australia and cannot listen  

to them I on a short break please uh day oh  probably say hi to me well hello uh yes you  

can watch these later uh I always save these so  you can watch them at anytime I mean the process  

of learning the first mother languages can be  affected by cultural biases on the way people  

articulate I mean uh articulation is the issue  not the linguistic process well I mean I'm if  

we're if we want to just make this very simple for  how do you learn a language either you understand  

what you're learning or you do not if I just start  speaking some random words and I could actually  

make it difficult for you to to understand the  language uh and you know there lots of reasons why  

an individual person might have trouble being able  to speak you know maybe they have some physical  

issue or if you're born without a mouth or eyes  or ears or whatever they're obviously situations  

like that but in general generally speaking  speaking when people are learning languages  

it's just getting input to understand something  and until they understand it they probably won't  

feel confident using it so that's basically  how it works uh and this is this is pretty much  

for learning anything it's not just for um like  learning learning a language or whatever anything  

you're trying to do if you understand how to do  something I talked about it in the uh what was  

that it maybe like the previous video uh where I  talk about like like the Lynch pin skill or the  

Lynch pin ability uh where where that like that  that thing that clicks that helps you understand  

something that's what enables you to do that thing  so whether it's trying to perform a trick or hit  

a baseball or do whatever uh as you understand  what that thing is and you can usually do this  

faster or or learn to do these things faster  if you have a good teacher or you understand  

something very well but usually that happens  by getting lots of different examples all right  

all right uh Luciano it happens the same when  people see me playing guitar with upside down  

strings but I just have learned it this way from  the beginning it wasn't harder or easier yep so  

like you could be learning things in a different  way uh but the basic but the basic process um is  

the same for people all right uh let's see Ali  says what is the difference between rehash and  

rephrase well rehash typically means you're going  like I I do a lot of rehashing on this like in my  

videos where I try to explain something in a  different way so typically rehashing would be  

like a longer explanation of something so like I  tell a story and then someone comes back and says  

oh could you explain something again or I have  to tell the story again to a different person  

and I just rehash it I'm explaining it again  usually faster more efficiently uh rephrasing  

typically is like a shorter thing so if I give an  explanation maybe a piece of it like I didn't like  

the way I said something let me rephrase that  so it's typically just a few words or a phrase  

that's why we talk about rephrasing something uh  where I say something ah that wasn't a good way  

of saying it let me change a few words to rephrase  that thing make it easier to understand uh I mean  

not understanding different types of articulation  can impair sequent language acquisition yes uh and  

so again you're making the same point I'm making  which is if you don't understand something you  

won't be able to uh you won't be able to learn so  yes it's we're we're saying the same thing so if I  

have an uncle and uh and like he speaks like like  I don't understand what he's saying I'm not going  

to learn anything from that okay so that's why I'm  intentionally being very clear when I speak for  

people or speak uh speak to you all Omar says or  uh def defate def I don't know what that you mean  

difficult maybe or similar all right uh ah you  guys are talking about yes the the con I guess  

uh you need to spray water on the Whiteboard  yes well I'm not going to do that right now  

but by articulation main when to be objective  and succinct and when a link and analogy how  

to present a new idea and how to reformulate an  idea yes like like all all of the the things that  

you're saying they're they're true in the sense  that yes people need to understand and if they're  

not getting good examples or the teacher is bad or  whatever then yes it will make language learning  

more difficult okay but I'm I'm more explaining  about how the human mind learns so if people  

learn badly then yes it makes the process more  difficult or it takes a longer time or whatever  

uh but it's you know it's like a car engine  uh like I could put gasoline in my car and the  

gasoline is what you're supposed to do you could  put sugar in your gas tank instead and it would  

destroy the car so it would you know stop the car  from uh from running well or I put sand in the  

gas tank or something like that okay but the the  engine uh if we understand how the engine works  

it's the same thing all right uh night ER says  hello from Thailand typhoon as a typhoon versus  

Mon soon what's the next word you need to okay uh  what's the time the Live start they don't really  

start at a particular time it's kind of around  this time usually uh Like Mondays and Thursdays  

Japan time uh if I'm here I mean the problem is  not learning English words by translating them  

initially but only solely by translating them  without practicing them in different context  

all right thank you Sensei definitely try glad  to all right Korean has all artificial happiness  

but a hell situation in society exactly oh this  lesson is getting deep over here thanks for the  

class I will listen to today's lesson again and  again yes that's a good idea but I would also  

look for other examples besides this lesson  of like a word like Zephyr all right uh to  

conclude this let me do the same kind of thing  so I I began with a more difficult example of  

Zephyr but you notice there there's nothing like  the word seems difficult or it might be it's an

unusual like look at that word zephyr you probably  have not heard that before maybe you have but a  

lot of Learners have not had it and that's why  I've taught it in this video um but let's take  

a different example of something like jump which  is a word you probably have heard before uh but we  

can think about many different ways that we might  use the word and so like a native English speaker  

typically children know about jumping where we  stand you know with our feet and jump up like  

that um and so we get like uh more examples of  this word that really help us understand various  

uses of that word so I bet you can think of some  very simple phrases or some other explanations  

that use the word jump in there all right so maybe  some phrases or some examples of things that jump  

like let's say I'm walking through uh a forest  and I see behind some trees I see some you know  

there's like a kind of dark area here some trees  over here and I see oh two scary looking eyes so  

imagine this is all dark here and you see some  kind of bright eyes looking at you I'm scared that  

something might jump out at me so like jump out  at me so to jump out at me so maybe a monster will  

jump out at me or a jump scare uh another good  example a jump scare so when you're watching a  

movie uh and you can think about oh like something  like a some loud music or something there's a a  

monster or something uh in the scene and it makes  the audience jump like that that's called a jump  

scare because you physically move like that it's a  jump scare but you can also like in this same idea  

uh maybe you're reading something and you think oh  that's really interesting like uh that idea really  

jumped out at me okay so here we have a physical  use of it like a monster jumping out from behind  

some trees or something but we also have like  some information jumping out at me making it  

more obvious like that okay so like there lots  of words on the page but these particular words  

really jumped out at me so it means it was  noticeable it was interesting exciting to  

me in some way it really jumped out at me so it  didn't just jump out it's Direct at me okay so as  

we learn more words this is just a basic idea but  when when Learners think okay I I understand what  

the word means like jump uh then okay we can we  can think about like when else might we learn that  

and so when people think okay I understand jump  and they kind of stop learning it but you should  

always keep your ears open for these different  uses of the word because that helps you understand  

it and really feel confident that you understand  what means and so you can use something like jump  

out at me in you know in a in a text example  or maybe I can think about jump like jump to

conclusions so here again a kind of uh  non-physical or a figurative way of thinking  

about it to jump to conclusions so if I'm thinking  about something oh my goodness if we do this then  

then that means this other thing over here but  maybe I'm wrong about that I'm I'm quickly jumping  

to this other idea a conclusion or a result or  something maybe this means that but I'm quickly  

jumping to that conclusion and I might be wrong  about that so we want to be careful not to jump to  

the wrong conclusion okay so again we begin with  something very simple children and this is again  

it's that same example about learning a word even  like Zephyr so there there's nothing difficult  

about the word zephyr by itself the real problem  is that people just don't get enough examples of  

it to to really feel confident about that word  but people will often hear the word jump used many  

times and so you feel more confident about using  jump and so you hear jump more frequently you feel  

more confident about using it people say it more  so it works kind of building on itself like that  

all right uh it's a synonym catch catch eyes well  to catch someone's eye which we talked about uh in  

a previous video that's like when you're walking  in someone notices you or you notice somebody  

else it catches your eye someone someone Someone  catches your eye so that's another basic word like  

catch that we talked about catch catch is not  supposed to be an e so catch to catch something  

so we can physically like throw something in the  air and catch it or maybe we can catch someone's  

like catch someone's eye while we're walking so  they are looking a different way but they look  

at us and oh look at that now we we we caught we  caught each each other we're both looking at each  

other right now okay so often when Learners they  begin learning a word and they maybe don't feel  

so confident about it or they think they know  that word really well so they they stop paying  

attention to it and they think oh I don't I don't  need another lesson about this word that I know  

and so I often ask Learners how well do you know  it how many different ways could you use the word  

jump so a native can actually use the word jump in  many different situations and they probably know  

many things like jump to conclusions I think maybe  I had a bunch of them let's see just to give you  

like a few examples like to jump the gun another  example I'll just do one more here jump the gun  

to jump the gun and often natives they might hear  an expression like this and and connect it with  

a situation and then maybe they also learn the  origin of something like that but if you think  

about someone doing something too quickly or too  early maybe they don't they don't quite know all  

the information about something it's kind of  like jumping to conclusions but to jump the gun  

means you're doing something uh faster or sooner  than maybe you should you should probably be more  

patient or you should wait and the idea comes from  a like a starter pistol at the beginning of a Race  

So you have people lined up they're ready to run  and someone holds up the the gun and fires the gun  

and when they fire the gun then the race begins  but sometimes people jump the gun and they start  

running before before the pistol starts we call  that a like a false start but that's where this  

phrase comes from to jump the gun okay all right  uh let me go back and answer a few last questions  

here but I think I think everybody is getting the  idea so really the thing to remember uh is you're  

probably not going to feel very confident about  something the first time you learn it but that's  

part of the process so don't feel bad about that  we should expect that and the like really good  

teaching can make that process much faster but  if you're trying to do it by yourself then just  

try to get more examples of that thing uh okay all  right thanks for the class is Nathaniel or natanel  

all right I will listen to today's lesson again  hack Wizards Academy or excuse me hack Wizards  

Army I am very scared of speaking English uh I  don't you haven't said why that is but typically  

it's because you just don't feel confident you  just don't know the language very well so rather  

than trying to speak you don't have to force  yourself to speak but you should spend time  

trying to understand the language better all right  uh yes that is the point your method provides both  

natural exposition to the language uh Exposition  Exposition you probably mean exposure uh and an  

opportunity to deal with articulation of ideas  how to use the new words how to discuss them  

jump scare might as well jump yes Van Halen Jump  in on Street well you would just say like jump  

on the street if you're talking about physically  jumping somewhere uh jump out at is a phrasal verb  

yes that's correct and so you can take a physical  idea like wh like I'm jumping out at you so I'm  

hiding somewhere and I jump out where again you're  maybe reading something or you notice something  

an idea really jumped out at you maybe you're  listening to a speech or something and something  

interesting is said that really jumped out at  me I like uh to case The Joint from a previous  

class yes to case of joint that was talking about  robbing robbing a bank I think and so you can take  

like you can you can get interesting vocabulary  from one situation and apply it to something else  

if you know that vocabulary well so that's what  native speakers do and people who are good writers  

typically they're able to do that they know the  vocabulary really well and they can apply it in  

interesting ways but it might be in a different  situation Cynthia leage says the cat jumps out at  

me means I didn't see it coming but can a cat  jump at me or it needs out all the time no it  

could jump at you as well so if you think about  like the difference between and this is a really  

good way again we're understanding the language  better by getting more examples so if we look at  

let's say two situations is slightly different  so if I'm here here's one example is me uh and  

I'm looking down and I see a cat that's my not so  good picture of of a c of a cat uh and so if if I  

see the cat the cat is right there and the cat  just very quickly what the cat jumped at me so  

jumped at me so I see the cat it's just making  a very quick Motion in my direction so jumped  

at me but if I'm walking over here uh and I don't  see the cat and maybe I just it's like in a in a  

box or something he's kind of hiding over here  and then it jumped out at me so it was in some  

kind of hidden location something I couldn't I  couldn't see where it was so probably even if  

it's not physically inside a box maybe it's it's  just in a dark area or something I I didn't quite  

see it like it jumped out at me so even uh we  can talk about like being inside and outside of  

my field of vision so if I'm if I'm looking this  way so here is my my eye and I'm looking this way  

maybe the cat is over here and so the cat what he  jumped in look at that the cat jumped in front of  

me like that so he jumped in to my field of vision  so I could say oh the cat jumped out at me just  

meaning I didn't see it so basically it was kind  of outside my field of vision my field of vision  

so where I'm able to see so if the cat's behind  me or hiding somewhere then it jumps out at me so  

you see the difference so here it's jumping at me  here it's jumping out at me all right so typically  

phrasal verbs when you understand them visually  like this uh like we do in our visual guide to  

phrasal verbs it's much easier to understand them  all right Unice says uh the usage of words is so  

flexible that you have to learn a lot of examples  to get the hang of it yes but again if you do it  

efficiently it's quite fast so you don't need  to spend a lot of time speaking and you don't  

need to spend a lot of time just getting random  vocabulary if you were efficient and systematic  

with your learning you can become fluent much  faster all right hopefully that makes sense  

so with a teacher someone who especially  understands how to teach this way that really  

helps you understand something like a native is  going to get you fluent very quickly all right  

uh sun says you are is you mean are you available  for one to one course setting or learning uh we  

don't offer onetoone lessons let me get some  water pardon me got my mint water over here

how long have we been going oh pretty good  only an hour so far um so I I don't offer  

private lessons for two reasons the first is it  would be too expensive for people like I would  

charge like a ridiculous amount of money that  wouldn't be it would be like too expensive for  

people uh and the second reason is because it's  less valuable actually to learn with one teacher  

than to try to simulate a native environment where  you're getting a whole bunch bunch of different  

influences or a whole bunch of different examples  so if you think about a child like imagine a

child so here's a child I can't I can never  draw these eyes I can't even draw eyes on  

a head properly uh so here's a child with one  parent all right if we imagine just this house  

over here as a child with one parent  the child's speech will really reflect  

this person's spech so if this person speaks badly  or they curse a lot or they don't really explain  

things well then this child's ability to speak  will probably not be very good but this child  

over here they've got Mom and Dad and Grandpa and  Grandpa and friends and brothers and sisters and  

and all these other people this person is going to  become a good speaker very quickly all right so uh  

often people are looking for a private teacher  and even if you have a private teacher even if  

they can teach you well you're really just getting  exposure to one person's English okay so if you  

want to be able to hear lots of other people you  should also be getting examples of lots of other  

people and that's why this is what we do influent  for life so the whole point is not just hearing  

me of course I can give you good explanations  but you can see even in these YouTube videos  

I'm I'm trying to uh make the language easier to  understand and so I'm not speaking the way I would  

normally speak with lots of idioms or phrasal  verbs or things that that I'm not explaining or  

in a more casual like simple way like yesterday  I was out with a friend of mine uh and and we're  

just speaking Japanese and talking to different  people and I'm I'm speaking in a much like faster  

way than I would normally speak um like if I  were trying to teach someone Japanese okay so  

same idea if we're if you can simulate this if you  can get all these same examples you will learn the  

same way and it's much faster and easier to do  this uh rather than trying to do this over here  

with a teacher so you could get this input like  people members of fluent for life this is what  

they do as they learn uh rather than just having a  teacher like once a week for an hour or two hours  

or something like that uh this person is going to  get flu much faster okay so yes it's nice to have  

a private teacher even if you have a good teacher  te though uh you're still missing all of these  

other examples that aren't really preparing you  for the real world uh let's see Al girl don't jump  

the gun guys we have plenty of time yes you got  the idea it's and you would say it's an old cat  

so remember we've got an old cat it's an old cat  all right jump in on street I thought it's being  

attacked on Street jump in on Street ah well if  you want to like jump in on something like you're  

you're talking about like to to be like getting  into something like I see this there's a stock  

you know like a company stock people are trying  to purchase I want to jump in on that or get in  

on that thing it just means I want to be a part  of that thing or buy it or whatever uh before it  

becomes like too popular or becomes too expensive  cyy says uh great thanks for the explanation glad  

to hear curs vers swear uh there's no difference  there if you're talking about just kind of  

negative or like speech in that way all right look  at that we got through all the comments in about  

an hour hopefully everybody gets the idea do not  feel bad if you're learning something especially  

if you're learning by yourself and you don't quite  understand things it's okay you usually will will  

not quite understand something even with a perfect  explanation of something there might be something  

you still don't get and so often it takes multiple  examples so expect that be be excited about the  

review because each time you understand something  a little bit more you will feel more confident so  

the whole goal of this process like what we do  here with English anyone is really trying to  

help people understand uh understand English well  so they eliminate any doubt that stops them from  

speaking so if you'd like more help doing that  you can click on the link in the description below  

this video to learn more about our program uh  where we actually take people through this process  

all right so if you're trying to learn by yourself  you can do the same thing uh you would get those  

same examp examples that's what you would try  to do uh so look for more examples like watch  

a bunch of videos about a particular thing uh or  read a bunch of articles about a particular thing  

all right all right uh s says very good teacher  well is my pleasure to help buring says is that  

good if we use phrasal verbs in casual talk yes  those are fine so if you pay attention to what  

natives are saying you will hear lots of phrasal  verbs from Natives and like phrasal verbs are very  

useful that's why I have a whole program on that  that's included actually influent for Life uh any  

ideas on better accent I would pick a particular  person or kind of people or accent you want to  

sound like and listen to a lot of that content all  right so if you want to sound like uh someone from  

uh I don't know Chicago or New York or whatever  like even a particular part or kind of speaker  

then listen to people who speak like that that's  how that's how natives develop their accent by  

again it's the same idea so if I only have one  teacher I'm going to sound like this teacher  

and this teacher might even like like right  now if you try to sound exactly like me uh  

you might speak more like a teacher because  uh again I'm speaking more clearly a bit more  

slowly and I'm changing the vocabulary I use  so you understand things okay uh I'm still  

speaking smoothly so it sounds like a native  Native speech but again you need to get many  

examples that really help you understand that  and so you can focus on a particular accent  

if you need help with that or trying to understand  specific speakers you can do that as well same  

idea all right G says thank you teacher Drew  is my pleasure all right and well says I don't  

understand the meaning of these words a statement  and to manage Google those that's a like like  

you can you can easily understand those if you  just get some uh different example of those but  

like I I don't I don't just sit and tell people  definitions of words I'm best able to help people  

if they don't understand or can't compare or see  the difference between two things that's that's  

a better use of my time for helping you all right  that says thank you very much for the time it was  

fun and thank you says a Skyfall for James Bond  I'm guessing over there 007 all right so remember  

as you try to understand something it's okay  if you don't understand something uh don't try  

to force yourself to speak or try to what we say  hit your head on a brick wall trying to understand  

something again and again try to get a different  example to help you understand something or many  

different examples until you really feel confident  because I promise you when you feel confident  

you'll be excited to speak all right that's it  for this video if you'd like to learn more again
