m   going to give you a few more very good s hey  are look at that see the more people ac

give this a try I promise you really the the goal  here is to make sure that these basic patterns  

y   give this a try I promise you really the th oal  here is to make sure that these basic pa

are are so obvious so clear that you are so quick  with them that you you have to use them correctly  

s   are are so obvious so clear that you are so ick  with them that you you have to use them cor

in conversations okay so you have to it's like  it's it's just that easy for you all right next

Rob and I so Rob my friend Rob and I Rob and  I Rob just put his name over here Rob and I  

t   Rob and I so Rob my friend Rob and I R and  I Rob just put his name over here Rob

this is Robin I am Robin and  I are Robin I is Rob and I  

I   this is Robin I am Rob and  I are Robin I is Rob

Rob and die R all right so again you should be  looking at lots of examples of these things I  

I   Rob and die R all right so again you sho be  looking at lots of examples of these th

don't want to spend the whole video covering  all of these things but if you have trouble  

I   don't want to spend the whole video co ing  all of these things but if you have t

with this and also if you have trouble with uh  basic verbs so like Rob and I go to the park I  

e   with this and also if you have trouble w uh  basic verbs so like Rob and I go to the

go to the park but Rob so Rob goes to the park  I go to the park but together we go all right  

I   go to the park but Rob so Rob goes to th ark  I go to the park but together we go all

I know this seems like a simple thing especially  if you know all this information already if you  

t   I know this seems like a simple thing espe lly  if you know all this information already

know you know the word be this is like the first  lesson that people get when they're in uh when  

u   know you know the word be this is like the rst  lesson that people get when they're in u

they're learning languages but often they are  still thinking in their native language when  

n   they're learning languages ​​but of they are  still thinking in their native l

they speak even with something as simple as B and  I promise you if you get these lots more examples  

ge when   they speak even with something as sim as B and  I promise you if you get these lots m

of these we can cover more of these after I go  over uh the other words if you like uh but really  

xamples   of these we can cover more of thes fter I go  over uh the other words if you like u

this should be so Rob or I is Rob or I'll so Rob  and I are Rob or I so Rob or I is Rob or I is

really   this should be so Rob or I is Rob or ll so Rob  and I are Rob or I so Rob or I is

Rob or I is oh Rob or I is do we say Rob

Rob or I is Rob or I is oh Rob or I is d

or I is Rob or I is now that sounds funny to me  does that sound funny to you rob or I is coming  

we say Rob or I is Rob or I is now that sounds nny to me  does that sound funny to you rob or

to the Rob or I am coming to the park so you  could say Rob is coming or I am coming so Rob  

coming   to the Rob or I am coming to the rk so you  could say Rob is coming or I am c

is coming or I am coming all right so again even  something basic like this if you were saying Rob  

so Rob   is coming or I am coming all right s gain even  something basic like this if you wer

and I is doing something that would be incorrect  Robin die is we would not say that all right  

ing Rob   and I is doing something that would incorrect  Robin die is we would not say th

so Rob and I are going someplace or if you  say Rob or I am going someplace so Rob uh  

l right   so Rob and I are going somepla or if you  say Rob or I am going somepla

in this case like we have like Rob is or I am  that's why we would use am here so Rob or I

Rob uh   in this case like we have like Ro s or I am  that's why we would use am here

all right

so Rob or

now I know see look at that even even a  simple tricky exam question like this uh  

I all right now I know see look at that en even a  simple tricky exam question

very basic thing but yes no native speaker  would say Rob or I is doing something  

this uh   very basic thing but yes no na e speaker  would say Rob or I is doi

all right Rob or I am doing something

mething   all right Rob or I am doi

so either Rob is doing something or I am doing  something all right yes that was a tricky one  

g something so either Rob is doing something o am doing  something all right yes that was

all right so I can go through more examples after  I cover all of the words but again this is really  

cky one   all right so I can go through more ex les after  I cover all of the words but again th

to make sure you understand the basics and to  show you that even something like this that's  

really   to make sure you understand the b cs and to  show you that even something like

really a very very basic sentence people can  still make mistakes so if you are still thinking  

that's   really a very very basic sentenc eople can  still make mistakes so if you are st

am I saying this correctly am I I'm wondering if  that's correct the whole point is to know these  

hinking   am I saying this correctly am I I'm dering if  that's correct the whole point is t

things very well so that you have that sense of  correctness it's basically a feeling you have  

w these   things very well so that you have t sense of  correctness it's basically a feel

where you know something is right or the it gets  the opposite way to explain that is if you hear  

ou have   where you know something is right or e it gets  the opposite way to explain that is

something and you and you think well that doesn't  sound right Rob or I is Rob or I is coming to the  

ou hear   something and you and you think well t doesn't  sound right Rob or I is Rob or I is c

party Rob or I is coming to the party no we  wouldn't say that either Rob or I uh Rob or  

to the   party Rob or I is coming to the rty no we  wouldn't say that either Rob or

I uh will come to the party maybe might say that  but we wouldn't say Robert I is doing something  

Rob or   I uh will come to the party maybe mi say that  but we wouldn't say Robert I is doi

all right all right I has an exception all right  yeah that sounds off again like the whole point  

mething   all right all right I has an excepti all right  yeah that sounds off again like the

is you should be knowing it very well when you  know uh that sounds funny all right that will  

e point   is you should be knowing it very w when you  know uh that sounds funny all rig

help you uh use these things correctly but  again we can come back to more examples of  

at will   help you uh use these things c ectly but  again we can come back to more

this but uh this is really I put this number  one because this is one of the uh really the  

ples of   this but uh this is really I put is number  one because this is one of the u

most important things to master because you use  it so often in conversations so not just the word  

lly the   most important things to master bec e you use  it so often in conversations so not j

beat but when you are changing this depending  on the person and also for basic verbs as well  

he word   beat but when you are changing th depending  on the person and also for basic v

so if you have I go then it would be I go he  she it goes or they go all right so you have  

as well   so if you have I go then it woul e I go he  she it goes or they go all right

to be very quick with doing that and usually  people get into trouble when they have like  

ou have   to be very quick with doing that d usually  people get into trouble when th

the example I gave of more than one person all  right so like he and she are doing something  

ve like   the example I gave of more than on erson all  right so like he and she are doi

all right let's see what about it is it I or  Rob typically we would uh we would put the put  

mething   all right let's see what about i s it I or  Rob typically we would uh we would

yourself second it's more of a politeness thing  in conversations so if I'm talking about a friend  

the put   yourself second it's more of a poli ess thing  in conversations so if I'm talking ab

of mine like uh she and I will be doing something  so I put myself second I don't say I and someone  

friend   of mine like uh she and I will be doi something  so I put myself second I don't say I

else all right usually just for being polite I  would put myself second in the sentence all right  

someone   else all right usually just for be polite I  would put myself second in the senten

Rob is going to the party where I am or I am not  all right all right let's move on so the second  

l right   Rob is going to the party where I am I am not  all right all right let's move on s

thing uh related to this so this is basic  identity where we're saying like one thing  

second   thing uh related to this so t is basic  identity where we're saying li

is something else or we are describing it like  today is hot today is hot I am tired all right  

e thing   is something else or we are descri g it like  today is hot today is hot I am tir

she and John are not coming to the party so we're  going to talk about the opposite of this as well  

l right   she and John are not coming to the pa so we're  going to talk about the opposite of

not all right so our next word is not now this  is quite easy to use you don't really have to  

as well   not all right so our next word is now this  is quite easy to use you don't re

think about much uh but the the reason I'm  putting it here number one because it's very  

have to   think about much uh but the th eason I'm  putting it here number one becau

frequently used and number two it will enable you  to just say the opposite of anything you're trying  

's very   frequently used and number two it wil nable you  to just say the opposite of anything y

to say so if you are thinking of like like I  will go to the beach if you if you're trying  

trying   to say so if you are thinking of ke like I  will go to the beach if you if y

to like you couldn't remember a good way to say  not go or like I will stay at home or something  

trying   to like you couldn't remember a goo ay to say  not go or like I will stay at home

you can just say I will not go to the beach I  know a lot of Learners they really care about  

mething   you can just say I will not go to e beach I  know a lot of Learners they reall

trying to express exactly what they want to say  usually they begin by thinking about something in  

e about   trying to express exactly what they nt to say  usually they begin by thinking about

their native language and then they translate  that in their head into English and then when  

hing in   their native language and then th translate  that in their head into English a

they can't think of the exact phrase in English  they get stuck so they forget the word they want  

en when   they can't think of the exact phras n English  they get stuck so they forget the wo

to say they can't ah what's that exact word I  don't know exactly how to say it like I would  

ey want   to say they can't ah what's that ct word I  don't know exactly how to say it

think about it in my native language and again  what we're trying to do here is really begin with  

I would   think about it in my native langua and again  what we're trying to do here is reall

basic things and make sure you can say them  really perfectly but that you also feel  

in with   basic things and make sure you say them  really perfectly but that y

confident about saying them but remember that  we have more than one way to express something  

so feel   confident about saying them but r mber that  we have more than one way to expre

so if I say I uh stay home for example so I  stay home or I will stay home I can just say I

mething   so if I say I uh stay home for mple so I  stay home or I will stay home I ca

will not so I will not do something just saying  

just say I will not so I will not do something

the opposite of that so obviously  we can we can say like I I will go

saying   the opposite of that obviously  we can we can say like

and if you want to remember or like the the  opposite of that verb would be so I will go  

I I will go and if you want to remember or e the the  opposite of that verb would be

or I will stay but if you can't remember the  opposite verb just use not okay remember there  

will go   or I will stay but if you can't ember the  opposite verb just use not okay re

are many ways to express things so you don't have  to think like there's a specific verb you want to  

r there   are many ways to express things so yo on't have  to think like there's a specific verb

say just say the opposite of of the verb you do  know all right any questions about that yes I want  

want to   say just say the opposite of of the rb you do  know all right any questions about tha

so which is correct it's too much hot in here or  it's too much heat in here uh well both of those  

I want   so which is correct it's too much ho n here or  it's too much heat in here uh well b

are basically incorrect you might hear the second  one uh used a little bit more but again this is  

f those   are basically incorrect you might hea he second  one uh used a little bit more but a

why I wanted to make this video because people  ask a lot of things like this and still they'll  

this is   why I wanted to make this video be se people  ask a lot of things like this and s

still have a little bit of trouble with even  basic things I promise you if you master these  

they'll   still have a little bit of troub with even  basic things I promise you if you

Basics you really really will be speaking much  more fluently so let's look at those examples  

r these   Basics you really really will be s king much  more fluently so let's look at th

even though that's not what we're covering right  here uh but Alejandro yes that's that's a good  

xamples   even though that's not what we're co ing right  here uh but Alejandro yes that's t

one so which is correct it's too much hot in here  we would really say it's too hot in here it's too  

a good   one so which is correct it's too much t in here  we would really say it's too hot in h

hot but if we want so it's too hot we're talking  about like the amount of heat uh you could say  

t's too   hot but if we want so it's too hot w e talking  about like the amount of heat uh y

it's it's uh it's too hot in here or there's too  much heat in here uh and you could also say uh  

uld say   it's it's uh it's too hot in here or ere's too  much heat in here uh and you could

it's much too hot in here but uh yeah basically  that that's a language pattern you use like it's

say uh   it's much too hot in here but uh ye basically  that that's a language pattern you u

two and then something so it's too hot it's too  cold or I'm too tired they are too fast we are too  

e like it's two and then something so it's too it's too  cold or I'm too tired they are too fas

slow so if you're talking about the temperature of  a room uh or you're talking about even the weather  

are too   slow so if you're talking about the te rature of  a room uh or you're talking about even

outside the same thing so it's too hot out here  right now in Japan it is getting very hot so it's  

weather   outside the same thing so it's too out here  right now in Japan it is getting very

uh it's very hot it's too hot outside get very  hot out here all right sometimes I use I ink to  

so it's   uh it's very hot it's too hot outs get very  hot out here all right sometimes I

replace am not uh is not and are not yes ain't you  can use ain't like I ain't I ain't coming you can  

ink to   replace am not uh is not and are not y ain't you  can use ain't like I ain't I ain't co

use that I would not write that though so don't  use that if you're you know writing professionally  

you can   use that I would not write that tho so don't  use that if you're you know writing pr

you have to send an email or something but you  will hear that in casual communication I ain't I  

ionally   you have to send an email or somet g but you  will hear that in casual communicati

ain't ain't doing something all right so it's too  hot in here gotcha thanks it's sizzling extremely  

ain't I   ain't ain't doing something all right it's too  hot in here gotcha thanks it's sizzli

hot in here all right uh Civic says you may  find content you publish is perceived very  

tremely   hot in here all right uh Civic s you may  find content you publish is pe

badly publish or published all right so Nick uh  that's a good example again not something we're  

ed very   badly publish or published all righ o Nick uh  that's a good example again not som

covering right here but I'll answer that question  for you remember that you're you're thinking about  

g we're   covering right here but I'll answer t question  for you remember that you're you're th

like what what is what is what is the what is  the idea here it's never just about the words  

g about   like what what is what is what is e what is  the idea here it's never just abo

by themselves you begin with the situation so if  you're talking about content you published like  

e words   by themselves you begin with the sit ion so if  you're talking about content you pu

only stuff from now and into the past then you  would say the content you published the content  

ed like   only stuff from now and into the p then you  would say the content you published

you published all right but if you're just talking  about in general and also going forward like we  

content   you published all right but if you're t talking  about in general and also going for

imagine it will be the same kind of content than  you would say the content you publish the content  

like we   imagine it will be the same kind of tent than  you would say the content you publish

you publish so one is talking about specific  like from the past until now or we're talking  

content   you publish so one is talking ab specific  like from the past until now or w

about in general which includes the past and what  we imagine for the future okay so you can say both  

talking   about in general which includes the p and what  we imagine for the future okay so you

of those it's not about which is correct they're  both correct it just depends on the situation all  

ay both   of those it's not about which is cor t they're  both correct it just depends on the s

right so remember we don't begin with vocabulary  we always begin with situations the situation is  

ion all   right so remember we don't begin wit ocabulary  we always begin with situations the

the foundation of communication and then we find  the right words for that and so we might have like  

tion is   the foundation of communication and n we find  the right words for that and so we mig

we have a situation whatever that is and there  are many ways to express that particular thing  

ve like   we have a situation whatever that and there  are many ways to express that part

okay let's see two is an adverb adds meaning to  the verb yeah so I get you I don't want people  

r thing   okay let's see two is an adverb add eaning to  the verb yeah so I get you I don't

to think about like trying to judge what part of  speech things are it's just not helpful for you uh  

people   to think about like trying to judge t part of  speech things are it's just not helpfu

in a conversation because you'll be thinking  like no wait is that an adverb or or is that  

you uh   in a conversation because you'll thinking  like no wait is that an adverb o

a conjunction or something I don't know what  I'm what I'm using so the point is really to  

is that   a conjunction or something I don know what  I'm what I'm using so the point

understand these with lots of examples and that's  how you really develop the sense of correctness we  

ally to   understand these with lots of example nd that's  how you really develop the sense of co

want you to understand the patterns of language  that's what native speakers are doing I bet most  

ness we   want you to understand the patterns language  that's what native speakers are doin

native speakers could not tell you what an  adverb is or what an adverb does all right  

et most   native speakers could not tell u what an  adverb is or what an adverb do

they don't know all right but they use adverbs  every day all right let's see here everyone  

l right   they don't know all right but they e adverbs  every day all right let's see h

all right now before people start getting more  into that let's see so sleep says yes vocabulary  

veryone   all right now before people start ting more  into that let's see so sleep says ye

plus situation equals understand yes that's a  good way to put it that's a good way to put it  

abulary   plus situation equals understand that's a  good way to put it that's a good w

all right so let's move on so these should be very  simple again we're already seeing some examples  

put it   all right so let's move on so these sh d be very  simple again we're already seeing s

where these are a little bit tricky these are a  little bit tricky and again I promise you I know  

xamples   where these are a little bit tricky ese are a  little bit tricky and again I promis

people think like well I already know to be I know  what that is really are you able to use it like  

I know   people think like well I already know be I know  what that is really are you able to

always and every time you can use it correctly  confidently and fluently all right if not get  

it like   always and every time you can use correctly  confidently and fluently all righ

yourself more review all right uh so the next one  number three here foreign so now we're going to  

not get   yourself more review all right uh so next one  number three here foreign so now we

start combining different things together and it's  just a very simple way we're going to combine this  

oing to   start combining different things toget and it's  just a very simple way we're going to

plus that or this with that all right there are  different ways to say this so another one maybe  

ne this   plus that or this with that all rig there are  different ways to say this so anoth

you could say with is another example or you  could say Plus if you want to sound a little  

e maybe   you could say with is another ex le or you  could say Plus if you want to so

bit more native you can use that as well but  there's nothing wrong with using and we're  

little   bit more native you can use that well but  there's nothing wrong with usi

just connecting two different ideas all right so  let's say I want to introduce myself I can say  

d we're   just connecting two different ideas right so  let's say I want to introduce myse

my name is Drew and I like to go fishing my name  is Drew and I like to go fishing all right now I  

can say   my name is Drew and I like to go fis g my name  is Drew and I like to go fishing all

can even combine a couple of different things  like this I only use the word and for the last  

t now I   can even combine a couple of diff nt things  like this I only use the word and

one or between the last two so my name is Drew  I like to go fishing and I also play uh tennis  

he last   one or between the last two so my e is Drew  I like to go fishing and I also pl

all right so each one of these things by itself is  a sentence you can make my name is Drew that's one  

tennis   all right so each one of these things itself is  a sentence you can make my name is Dre

sentence I like to go fishing that's one sentence  I play tennis that's another sentence but notice  

t's one   sentence I like to go fishing that's sentence  I play tennis that's another sentenc

how we're able to just connect these very easily  by using the word and all right just by using the  

notice   how we're able to just connect these ry easily  by using the word and all right just

word and I know this is a very simple idea but  again if people have trouble making larger and  

ing the   word and I know this is a very sim idea but  again if people have trouble makin

longer more interesting sentences these  are the things you should be looking at  

ger and   longer more interesting sen ces these  are the things you should b

these are the basic words that really  the foundation where you can actually  

king at   these are the basic words at really  the foundation where you

communicate a lot with just one word like  this all right so anytime you want to add  

ctually   communicate a lot with just o word like  this all right so anytime you

more information to something and all right so  let me see if you can make some let's see uh  

to add   more information to something and right so  let me see if you can make some

uh all right I've been told that the word to is  used in negative States sometimes isn't it what  

see uh   uh all right I've been told that th ord to is  used in negative States sometimes i

do you mean give me an example if you have an  example of something let me know and then I'll  

it what   do you mean give me an example if u have an  example of something let me know a

I'll tell you if it's correct or not so yes uh  like the glue that holds sentences together or  

en I'll   I'll tell you if it's correct or n so yes uh  like the glue that holds sentences

it enables you to build longer sentences  so anytime you are you are thinking about  

ther or   it enables you to build long sentences  so anytime you are you are th

one sentence like you're introducing yourself or  you're describing something this is a marker and  

g about   one sentence like you're introducing urself or  you're describing something this is

I can write with it this is a marker I can write  with it so I can just continue that sentence by  

ker and   I can write with it this is a marker can write  with it so I can just continue that

saying and this is a marker and I can write with  it this is a marker and I bought it yesterday  

ence by   saying and this is a marker and I ca rite with  it this is a marker and I bought

all right the goal here is to help you continue  to weave fluent sentences to continue to speak so  

sterday   all right the goal here is to help continue  to weave fluent sentences to continue

that you can express longer things and also train  yourself to think and do these things in English  

peak so   that you can express longer things an lso train  yourself to think and do these thing

all right so we want you to begin even with  simple things like this and just start practicing  

English   all right so we want you to beg even with  simple things like this and just star

expressing yourself you can even write this down  so write down different sentences uh and and make  

cticing   expressing yourself you can even wri this down  so write down different sentences uh

different combinations of things and it's really  easy to practice doing that all right even with  

nd make   different combinations of things and 's really  easy to practice doing that all rig

something simple like and all right a marker with  red ink yes so this is a marker and it has Riddick  

en with   something simple like and all right a rker with  red ink yes so this is a marker and it

this is a marker and it has red ink all right  I think we're doing we're doing all right here  

Riddick   this is a marker and it has red i all right  I think we're doing we're doing al

yes so lots of people are good at listening but  they often have trouble speaking because they're  

ht here   yes so lots of people are good at l ening but  they often have trouble speaking bec

thinking about again the the things I mentioned  earlier in this video uh they're thinking about  

they're   thinking about again the the things mentioned  earlier in this video uh they're th

things in their native language first and then  translating those and then trying to speak  

g about   things in their native language fi and then  translating those and then try

so it's much better to build your foundation  especially if you're teaching people I would  

o speak   so it's much better to build you oundation  especially if you're teaching pe

just if I had a class like an actual classroom  I'd be spending lots of time just teaching these  

I would   just if I had a class like an actu classroom  I'd be spending lots of time just te

things and showing people how to use this like  okay make a sentence with a marker using and all  

g these   things and showing people how to u this like  okay make a sentence with a marker u

right this is a red marker and this is a red cap  all right I'm just practicing just getting used to  

and all   right this is a red marker and this a red cap  all right I'm just practicing just get

using longer sentences by putting two things  together or more two or more things together  

used to   using longer sentences by puttin wo things  together or more two or more thi

well and he is a genius yes you're  too kindly thank you very much  

ogether   well and he is a geniu es you're  too kindly thank y

now I wouldn't say I'm a genius but yes excellent  use of the vocabulary all right let's move on  

ry much   now I wouldn't say I'm a genius but y excellent  use of the vocabulary all right l

now after I go through all of these we can go back  and make some more sentences I'll show you how we  

move on   now after I go through all of these we n go back  and make some more sentences I'll sho

can start combining them together but I want  to keep the list moving here so if we have and  

how we   can start combining them togethe ut I want  to keep the list moving here so if

what would really be the opposite of that maybe  not the opposite but uh kind of related related  

ave and   what would really be the opposite o hat maybe  not the opposite but uh kind of rel

to and see if anybody can come up with what  that would be so if we have this plus this  

related   to and see if anybody can come with what  that would be so if we have th

maybe we want to talk about two different  things maybe they are not related

us this   maybe we want to talk about t different  things maybe they are

or or so in this example we're talking about this  thing plus this other thing over here but in or we  

not related or or so in this example we're talkin bout this  thing plus this other thing over here

are talking about this thing or something else all  right as an example today I will go to the beach  

n or we   are talking about this thing or someth else all  right as an example today I will go

or I will go to a restaurant so I will do this or  I will do that I will do this or I will do that

e beach   or I will go to a restaurant so I wil o this or  I will do that I will do this or I

now again I'm making basic sentences just  to give people uh just some quick listening  

ill do that now again I'm making basic se nces just  to give people uh just some qui

practice for that but these are the things like  again you don't need to know a lot of difficult  

stening   practice for that but these are the ings like  again you don't need to know a lot

vocabulary to make interesting sentences you  just need to know these basic things very well  

fficult   vocabulary to make interesting s ences you  just need to know these basic thin

all right yeah we'll get into but in a moment  so or very simple so I can think of like what  

ry well   all right yeah we'll get into but a moment  so or very simple so I can think

do I want to wear today so I can ask myself  a question I can even like begin uh I'm  

ke what   do I want to wear today so I ca sk myself  a question I can even like

talking about something so this morning I asked  myself I was thinking what should I wear today  

uh I'm   talking about something so this mor g I asked  myself I was thinking what should

should I wear the black shirt or the brown one  the black shirt or the brown one okay very simple  

r today   should I wear the black shirt or t brown one  the black shirt or the brown one okay

and I think this should be pretty easy we're going  to keep moving I want to make sure we get all of  

simple   and I think this should be pretty easy 're going  to keep moving I want to make sure w

these up and then we'll go back and give you some  more examples of these so we have number five

all of   these up and then we'll go back and g you some  more examples of these so we have

now but is another fantastic word  and this is something that you  

number five now but is another fa stic word  and this is someth

can use more uh maybe complicated  English so you could say something  

hat you   can use more uh maybe mplicated  English so you could s

like however so we could say instead  of but we could say like how however

mething   like however so we could y instead  of but we could say like

and this is something you would see uh maybe  like more difficult English or academic or  

how however and this is something you would uh maybe  like more difficult English or

even in a more professional environment but  but but it's just fine you can just say but  

emic or   even in a more professional env nment but  but but it's just fine you can

all right you really should be getting very good  with all of these basic things and then if you  

say but   all right you really should be getti very good  with all of these basic things and

want to add something else you can replace that  with more difficult vocabulary like however okay  

if you   want to add something else you can lace that  with more difficult vocabulary like

so but so maybe you're talking about  one thing but you want to contrast it  

er okay   so but so maybe you're t ing about  one thing but you want to

or show that some other thing is there so  it's hot but I am wearing a winter coat  

rast it   or show that some other thing there so  it's hot but I am wearing a

it's hot but I am wearing a winter coat now again  uh it's also important to understand a lot of  

er coat   it's hot but I am wearing a winter co now again  uh it's also important to underst

these basic things because when you are thinking  about uh like trying to understand new words or  

lot of   these basic things because when you thinking  about uh like trying to understand

your or maybe you're you're reading something and  you come across so you see or you read or you hear  

ords or   your or maybe you're you're reading s thing and  you come across so you see or you read

some more difficult vocabulary it's much easier  to understand it if you recognize these kinds  

ou hear   some more difficult vocabulary it's ch easier  to understand it if you recognize

of things so if I say like a more difficult  sentence with but so yesterday I was uh I was  

e kinds   of things so if I say like a mo difficult  sentence with but so yesterday I

confused by something I don't know I was confused  by a question I was confused by a question but my  

h I was   confused by something I don't know I confused  by a question I was confused by a que

teacher made it understandable all right so I  was confused by something but my teacher made  

but my   teacher made it understandable al ight so I  was confused by something but my

it and if you don't know like what what the maybe  you're not prepared for that word you don't know  

er made   it and if you don't know like what wh the maybe  you're not prepared for that word yo

I I use a word you don't know uh like it was  perplexing so uh my like my teacher my teacher

't know   I I use a word you don't know uh ke it was  perplexing so uh my like my teache

said something

my teacher sa

perplexing

d somethin

my teacher said something perplexing so if you  hear this sentence just by itself my teacher  

perplexing my teacher said something perplexi so if you  hear this sentence just by itsel

said something perplexing now with this if you  don't know what that word means you just don't  

teacher   said something perplexing now with is if you  don't know what that word means yo

understand the sentence all right but if you're  paying attention for key words like this then we  

t don't   understand the sentence all right b if you're  paying attention for key words like

can probably figure out what it means so let's  say my teacher said something perplexing but

then we   can probably figure out what it me so let's  say my teacher said something pe

now I understand it all right so but now  I understand it we mean okay now we have  

plexing but now I understand it all righ o but now  I understand it we mean okay

uh if something is understandable here then  perplexing means it's confusing in some way  

we have   uh if something is understandab here then  perplexing means it's confusing

all right again we want to understand these things  there are lots of good reasons to do this but  

ome way   all right again we want to understand se things  there are lots of good reasons to

one of the most important is that they help you  understand the context of more difficult things  

his but   one of the most important is that t help you  understand the context of more diff

so if you know at least some of the information  then you can understand new things all in English  

things   so if you know at least some of the formation  then you can understand new things al

without trying to translate and so this is  how you build up your vocabulary over time as  

English   without trying to translate an o this is  how you build up your vocabulary

you listen to more people so you're learning more  things in English rather than learning it through  

time as   you listen to more people so you're l ning more  things in English rather than learnin

your native language so if you learn more through  your native language that's going to cause you to  

through   your native language so if you learn e through  your native language that's going to

hesitate and translate and organize sentences  in your head before you speak but if you learn  

you to   hesitate and translate and organi sentences  in your head before you speak but

more things in English like oh look at that I just  learned the word perplexing that's an interesting  

u learn   more things in English like oh look at at I just  learned the word perplexing that's an

word perplexing but I I understood that because oh  here here's that key word but so my teacher said  

resting   word perplexing but I I understood tha ecause oh  here here's that key word but so my

something perplexing but I I understand it now  or but maybe uh I don't know like I I understood  

er said   something perplexing but I I under nd it now  or but maybe uh I don't know like I

what it meant later all right so in that case we  understand flexing means like it's confusing or  

erstood   what it meant later all right so in t case we  understand flexing means like it's

hard to understand all right let's see here yes  Lisa says the keywords over here uh in order to  

sing or   hard to understand all right let's here yes  Lisa says the keywords over here uh

let's see do you say but me no buts but me no buts  what do you mean by that but me no buts but me no  

rder to   let's see do you say but me no buts bu e no buts  what do you mean by that but me no bu

buts give me a longer example uh let's see in  order two yes there's another thing we'll cover  

t me no   buts give me a longer example uh 's see in  order two yes there's another thing

that later but I really even even more basic than  in order two we've got something that I'll give  

l cover   that later but I really even even mor asic than  in order two we've got something th

you uh that's even easier than that all right  you notice all of these things very short very  

ll give   you uh that's even easier than th all right  you notice all of these things ver

easy these are all basic things that you learn the  problem is most people don't learn these things in  

rt very   easy these are all basic things that y learn the  problem is most people don't learn the

English so they don't really understand them in  English and as I after I go through all of these  

ings in   English so they don't really unders d them in  English and as I after I go through

words and introduce them then we can go back and  start making more sentences or really make your uh  

f these   words and introduce them then we can back and  start making more sentences or really

just make your conversations or whatever any kind  of communication much more fluent all right let's  

your uh   just make your conversations or whate any kind  of communication much more fluent all

see Kevin says uh it is strange because even when  native speakers try to create sentences their mind  

t let's   see Kevin says uh it is strange becau even when  native speakers try to create sentence

sometimes doesn't give any answer like without  thinking uh the language everything goes in a  

ir mind   sometimes doesn't give any answer e without  thinking uh the language everythi

better way I mean but people still you will still  think like even even if I'm thinking right now I'm  

es in a   better way I mean but people still yo ill still  think like even even if I'm thinking r

speaking English and English is my native language  and I'm still I might think like I might hesitate  

now I'm   speaking English and English is my nat language  and I'm still I might think like I mi

for a moment and think well what's a better way  to express something I might not know exactly but  

esitate   for a moment and think well what's etter way  to express something I might not know

I'm definitely not thinking about grammar rules  so there's a difference between hesitating to  

tly but   I'm definitely not thinking about g mar rules  so there's a difference between h

think about the best way to explain something or  hesitating because you're worried about which rule  

ting to   think about the best way to explain ething or  hesitating because you're worried abou

is correct all right so you don't want to do that  one you want to be thinking sometimes it's okay  

ch rule   is correct all right so you don't wan o do that  one you want to be thinking sometim

now I get I've been you know teaching and and  speaking like this for many many years so it's  

's okay   now I get I've been you know teac g and and  speaking like this for many many y

very easy for me without most people realizing  it to to change what I want to think or to plan  

so it's   very easy for me without most peop realizing  it to to change what I want to thin

something in my head and to continue speaking all  right but the point is it's okay if you want to  

to plan   something in my head and to continue aking all  right but the point is it's okay if

think but it should be in English and you should  really be thinking more like what's what's a good  

want to   think but it should be in English an ou should  really be thinking more like what's w

way to express something but also remember that  there isn't just one way to say something there  

a good   way to express something but also r mber that  there isn't just one way to say som

are many ways to explain something all right  uh at the year it says uh I don't have a direct  

g there   are many ways to explain somethi all right  uh at the year it says uh I don't h

experience in teaching but uh these doesn't  deter me to reach my goal yes you would say  

direct   experience in teaching but uh t e doesn't  deter me to reach my goal yes y

but but this doesn't but this doesn't all right  so you would say this doesn't or these don't  

uld say   but but this doesn't but this doesn all right  so you would say this doesn't or

again that's why we practice basic verbs right  here even like it's a verb to be or like so this  

e don't   again that's why we practice basic rbs right  here even like it's a verb to be or

we got uh like just one example so this doesn't

so this   we got uh like just one example so

or these

his does

dumbled so I know people might say well Drew these  are so simple why are you telling me stuff that I  

't or these dumbled so I know people might say wel rew these  are so simple why are you telling me

already know well this is this is it if you look  at the even the examples in the chat right here  

that I   already know well this is this is it you look  at the even the examples in the cha

in this video you will see grammar errors that are  all basic stuff with this all right if you can't  

ht here   in this video you will see grammar err that are  all basic stuff with this all right

master the basics don't bother with the the more  difficult stuff it's just a waste of your time all  

u can't   master the basics don't bother with the more  difficult stuff it's just a waste of y

right but I think we're doing all right so far  let's see yes teacher I give you the reason yes

er Drew   all right let's see here uh are hough and  though similar to but yes so tho

like I I'm not I could go into uh more difficult  things I don't even want to cover anything longer  

e again   like I I'm not I could go into uh mo difficult  things I don't even want to cover any

than this I really want to make it very simple  and just show you how easy it is to have fluent  

longer   than this I really want to make it ry simple  and just show you how easy it is to

conversations even with very basic things look  at this they're like all two or three words long  

fluent   conversations even with very basic ings look  at this they're like all two or thre

you know we could have with or Plus in there but  we don't even need those words uh to have these  

ds long   you know we could have with or Plus there but  we don't even need those words uh t

fluent uh fluent conversations or or talk about  even more complicated things but again it's these  

e these   fluent uh fluent conversations or o alk about  even more complicated things but agai

pieces that help you connect things that's really  the goal here all right so don't butt me yes I  

s these   pieces that help you connect things t 's really  the goal here all right so don't b

unless people are asking uh and would like to know  more about that but but but but but but if you go  

o those   unless people are asking uh and would e to know  more about that but but but but but b

back and listen to this video after I'm finished  you will hear me using all of these things

you go   back and listen to this video after finished  you will hear me using all of

all right so so far we've covered uh some  basic things we've got a few more to go  

hese things all right so so far we've cov d uh some  basic things we've got a fe

and then we'll start putting them together  to make some more interesting see if I can  

e to go   and then we'll start putting t together  to make some more interesting

fit all these things six seven eight nine okay  all that uh should fit on here all right so six  

f I can   fit all these things six seven eig nine okay  all that uh should fit on here all

so now we're going to talk about a conclusion  or what happens when something else happens  

so six   so now we're going to talk about onclusion  or what happens when something

so I was hot I was hot so I drank some water I  was hot so I drank some water and this is great  

happens   so I was hot I was hot so I drank e water I  was hot so I drank some water and t

if I'm explaining to someone like you should go to  uh the movie so you can see this uh amazing film

different sentences and each one of them is very  simple I was tired I took a nap but we can also  

say two   different sentences and each one of m is very  simple I was tired I took a nap but

connect them into one sentence so I was tired  and I took a nap I was tired and I took a nap  

an also   connect them into one sentence so was tired  and I took a nap I was tired and

it sounds like a weird idea okay all right any  questions so far serger how about yet yes we're  

e sense   it sounds like a weird idea okay a right any  questions so far serger how about y

not going to yet will not be on this list uh  but if you would like to know more about that  

s we're   not going to yet will not be on s list uh  but if you would like to know mor

maybe we can talk about that so we're not talking  about that yet in this video I really want to go  

ut that   maybe we can talk about that so we're t talking  about that yet in this video I reall

over the uh the most basic things that you can  use to have fluent conversations so you don't  

t to go   over the uh the most basic things t you can  use to have fluent conversations

need to have you don't need to use yet in order  to do that all right so with these words we can  

u don't   need to have you don't need to use in order  to do that all right so with these

actually Express I mean almost anything with  basic ideas and connecting them in different  

we can   actually Express I mean almost a hing with  basic ideas and connecting them

ways we can tell stories with these we can express  uh I don't know like really really telling people

licious   yes that's another example of wher e have so  over here that's us a different use

so so I'm just talking before uh about like like  this is a reason why we're doing something but  

he word   so so I'm just talking before uh abo like like  this is a reason why we're doing s

l right   glad to meet people from real lear g English  all right so we're moving on uh

four another very short word where we're  talking about the purpose of something

umber seven four another very short word ere we're  talking about the purpose

so I bought for example I bought

f something so I bought for exam

a new desk four

le I bought a n

uh you can talk about again the reason why you  do something so I bought a new desk for writing

w desk four uh you can talk about again the re n why you  do something so I bought a new desk

thank you I bought a new desk for writing now  you'll notice that these two are related where  

for writing thank you I bought a new desk for iting now  you'll notice that these two are r

we can talk about the purpose of something so  you can say you can even change this sentence  

d where   we can talk about the purpose of ething so  you can say you can even change t

around it I wanted a desk or I wanted to write  better or I wanted to to have a desk for writing  

entence   around it I wanted a desk or I wan to write  better or I wanted to to have a desk

so I bought a new desk okay so I wanted to do  something so I can remember if you if you only  

writing   so I bought a new desk okay so I ted to do  something so I can remember if you

have even a few words that you feel confident  about you can still make fluent sentences

ou only   have even a few words that you fe confident  about you can still make flue

okay yes so we can also talk about four so we  can talk about four like having uh the purpose  

t sentences okay yes so we can also talk abou our so we  can talk about four like having uh

like I use this marker for writing I use this  marker for writing I use this marker for cleaning  

purpose   like I use this marker for writin use this  marker for writing I use this marker

my ears I use this marker for cleaning my ears I  use this marker uh to wash my face or for washing  

leaning   my ears I use this marker for cleani my ears I  use this marker uh to wash my face or

my face okay but you can also talk about four  like uh the direction of something like I give  

washing   my face okay but you can also tal bout four  like uh the direction of something

this marker or I made this for you I made this  for you those are two different uses of four and  

I give   this marker or I made this for you made this  for you those are two different uses

again you should be learning them with examples  for those particular things okay uh let's pay  

our and   again you should be learning them w examples  for those particular things okay

attention to the class or to the explanation let's  pay attention to the class or to the explanation  

t's pay   attention to the class or to the expla ion let's  pay attention to the class or to the

I don't know if that's a question it looks like  it's a question but I don't know what's what it's  

anation   I don't know if that's a question i ooks like  it's a question but I don't know what

asking uh exactly uh Drew is great every time  I'm able to I'm here uh with him live when it's  

at it's   asking uh exactly uh Drew is grea very time  I'm able to I'm here uh with him li

not possible I go to the lessons on replay yes  glad to hear it yep so again you don't need to be  

en it's   not possible I go to the lessons o eplay yes  glad to hear it yep so again you don'

live with me in order to learn it's still the same  information all right next moving on number eight

d to be   live with me in order to learn it's st the same  information all right next moving on

uh another very simple word notice how these  are all very short very easy very common but  

umber eight uh another very simple word noti how these  are all very short very easy ver

people still make mistakes with these things so  I might have of like a group uh and I'm talking  

mon but   people still make mistakes with the things so  I might have of like a group uh and

about like maybe one part of that all right  so this is uh this is a marker that I bought  

talking   about like maybe one part of th all right  so this is uh this is a marker t

it's a set of three markers it's a set of three  markers all right set of three markers or maybe  

bought   it's a set of three markers it's a of three  markers all right set of three mark

I have like a bottle here and this is a like a  bottle of milk a bottle of milk a bottle of milk

r maybe   I have like a bottle here and this a like a  bottle of milk a bottle of milk a bo

okay I'll come back and start combining these  in different ways in a moment but just want to  

tle of milk okay I'll come back and start com ing these  in different ways in a moment but

make sure everybody is is following me here  all right yes I make lots of mistakes like  

want to   make sure everybody is is follo g me here  all right yes I make lots of m

that says Tom I like to make exercises for  health yes you would like to you can say I  

es like   that says Tom I like to make e cises for  health yes you would like to y

would or I like to exercise for health yep that's  a perfect sentence I like to exercise for health  

n say I   would or I like to exercise for healt ep that's  a perfect sentence I like to exercis

so to exercise rather than make exercises I like  to exercise for health or for my health you can  

health   so to exercise rather than make exer es I like  to exercise for health or for my he

say that as well all right uh let's see up to  this point we have covered the practicalities  

you can   say that as well all right uh let see up to  this point we have covered the pr

of using content understandable for us yes  so that's another example of using four where  

alities   of using content understandabl or us yes  so that's another example of usin

you're talking about like who the purpose or  the direction of something like this train is  

r where   you're talking about like who th urpose or  the direction of something like t

for uh you know Texas or something so that's the  direction it's moving in this present is for you  

rain is   for uh you know Texas or something s hat's the  direction it's moving in this presen

all right so I can talk about the direction  of something using the word for that's a  

for you   all right so I can talk about t direction  of something using the word

different meaning than talking about  the purpose they're kind of related  

hat's a   different meaning than t ing about  the purpose they're kin

I suppose you could think uh but they're two  different things all right uh and the last one

related   I suppose you could think uh but ey're two  different things all right uh and

is if if now with all of these things you  can definitely make some more uh interesting  

he last one is if if now with all of thes hings you  can definitely make some more uh

sentences and so what I'd like to do uh is  is have you just like tell tell me something  

resting   sentences and so what I'd like do uh is  is have you just like tell tell

try to make some sentences yourself and I'll  show you how to make them with easier English  

mething   try to make some sentences yours and I'll  show you how to make them with ea

all right so just very simple things connecting  these different ideas but this will be a little  

English   all right so just very simple thing onnecting  these different ideas but this will

bit easier for me and it will be more helpful  for you as well if you look at these examples  

little   bit easier for me and it will be e helpful  for you as well if you look at th

now the most important thing from this  video is not just the list of words it's  

xamples   now the most important thi from this  video is not just the list o

actually being able to use these so people  are like ah okay like now I know like we  

ds it's   actually being able to use the so people  are like ah okay like now I

should know these words but do you really  know them well all right that's the key  

like we   should know these words but d ou really  know them well all right th

so if anybody has let's see any any questions  let's see sometimes I use of when I try to make  

the key   so if anybody has let's see any a questions  let's see sometimes I use of when I

conditional sentences of informal ones what  do you mean by that Louis give me an example  

to make   conditional sentences of inform ones what  do you mean by that Louis give m

of a particular sentence you're trying to make  all right so if I fail I'll be disappointed in  

example   of a particular sentence you're tr g to make  all right so if I fail I'll be dis

myself yes so another good example of if now you  don't often you will you will learn if with then  

nted in   myself yes so another good example o f now you  don't often you will you will learn

but it's not necessary to use the then uh in in  sentences and often native speakers will not put  

th then   but it's not necessary to use the t uh in in  sentences and often native speakers

the then in there we often teach children like to  write sentences like this so if if this thing then  

not put   the then in there we often teach chil n like to  write sentences like this so if if thi

then this other thing over here if then if  then all right but you don't need to say that  

ng then   then this other thing over her f then if  then all right but you don't need

so if it's hot I will I will take off my jacket we  don't need the the then I will take off my jacket  

ay that   so if it's hot I will I will take off jacket we  don't need the the then I will take o

all right uh let's see Tom says the question I did  was asking you if I say I should pay attention to  

jacket   all right uh let's see Tom says the qu ion I did  was asking you if I say I should pay

your explanation or to the class I don't know if  there was a difference between them or if they  

tion to   your explanation or to the class I d t know if  there was a difference between the

mean the same what do you mean like the class  like which class this class like the video that  

if they   mean the same what do you mean li the class  like which class this class like th

I'm I'm when you say like my explanation or or the  class you mean like your English class something  

eo that   I'm I'm when you say like my explanati or or the  class you mean like your English cla

separate is not clear uh what what you're  referring to so again like if we're using  

mething   separate is not clear uh what at you're  referring to so again like if

our basic words over here like I don't know what  I should pay attention to or what I should follow  

e using   our basic words over here like I don know what  I should pay attention to or what I s

or or who I should listen to should I listen to  my English class like maybe you go to an English  

follow   or or who I should listen to should listen to  my English class like maybe you go t

class at school or should I listen to you okay  let me know what you mean by that specifically  

English   class at school or should I listen you okay  let me know what you mean by that

all right I would like to buy a house uh if I had  the money yes so if you're if you're talking about  

fically   all right I would like to buy a house if I had  the money yes so if you're if you're t

like uh if I had money I would buy a house I  would like to buy a house if I had the money  

g about   like uh if I had money I would b a house I  would like to buy a house if I h

yes you can say that very good all right is there  a difference between if and whether if and whether

e money   yes you can say that very good all ri is there  a difference between if and whether if

again rather than thinking about  a difference between two words  

and whether again rather than th ing about  a difference betwe

you really want to look at specific  situations so like if if I if I go to  

o words   you really want to look specific  situations so like if if

um typically if if you're using if we will have  like one uh it's like a like a conditional where  

I go to   um typically if if you're using if will have  like one uh it's like a like a condi

like this thing happens then this thing happens  over here but whether we might use like weather  

l where   like this thing happens then this t g happens  over here but whether we might use

to talk about like like multiple examples or  something like at least two different ones  

weather   to talk about like like multiple amples or  something like at least two di

all right so if if it's hot I will go to the  pool all right uh but we could also say for  

nt ones   all right so if if it's hot I wi go to the  pool all right uh but we could

weather like whether whether it's hot or not I  will do this so there's even like a different  

say for   weather like whether whether it's or not I  will do this so there's even like

a different sentence where we're having like two  different options and they go to the same place  

fferent   a different sentence where we're hav like two  different options and they go to th

so whether it's hot or cold I still wear my jacket  whether it's hot or cold I still wear my jacket  

e place   so whether it's hot or cold I still we my jacket  whether it's hot or cold I still we

all right so it really depends on the situation  and rather than than trying to just look at two  

jacket   all right so it really depends on t situation  and rather than than trying to just

words by themselves and seeing like what is  the correct answer or how are they different  

at two   words by themselves and seeing e what is  the correct answer or how are th

it depends on the situation that's why it's  so important to learn them uh from situations  

fferent   it depends on the situation tha why it's  so important to learn them uh fro

all right uh Lewis says uh if I'd studied more I  would I would have passed so in that case you're  

uations   all right uh Lewis says uh if I'd st ed more I  would I would have passed so in that

using have I know this it sounds it sounds like so  native speakers are often saying this very quickly  

you're   using have I know this it sounds it so s like so  native speakers are often saying this

but I would have

quickly   but

so I would have passed I would have done  something I would have done something so it's  

would have so I would have passed I wou have done  something I would have done somet

not it's not wood oh it sounds like that often  native speakers are saying like I would have  

so it's   not it's not wood oh it sounds lik hat often  native speakers are saying like

I would have because it's it's just faster and  easier to say this and this is why it's important  

ld have   I would have because it's it's jus aster and  easier to say this and this is why it

not just to listen to people speaking clear  easy to understand English like I say like in  

portant   not just to listen to people sp ing clear  easy to understand English like I

these videos but also to hear native speakers and  how they're doing it okay is why we give you both  

like in   these videos but also to hear native akers and  how they're doing it okay is why we g

influence for life all right so I would have done  that I would have I would have done that it sounds  

ou both   influence for life all right so I wou have done  that I would have I would have done th

like oh but it's not all right if you write this  out the word is have I would have I would have  

sounds   like oh but it's not all right if yo rite this  out the word is have I would have

all right uh exactly the class which is  happening right now okay all right so I  

ld have   all right uh exactly the cl which is  happening right now okay al

still don't understand the question though if  you're you're understand if you mean the class  

ht so I   still don't understand the questi though if  you're you're understand if you me

or my example my examples are the class it's the  same thing I still don't understand the question  

e class   or my example my examples are the cl it's the  same thing I still don't understand

forgive me but uh explain more if you'd like me  to help you all right people let's hit the like  

uestion   forgive me but uh explain more if y d like me  to help you all right people let's

button look at that Sita nice to see you there yes  you get to get the likes up you know my channel I  

he like   button look at that Sita nice to see y there yes  you get to get the likes up you know

work like really hard I know I like making live  videos because it's more fun to do this than to  

annel I   work like really hard I know I like king live  videos because it's more fun to do

take time and edit videos so I can actually  answer questions that's why I do this but I'm  

than to   take time and edit videos so I actually  answer questions that's why I do

always surprised I would love to have more people  enjoying the videos and benefiting more for them  

but I'm   always surprised I would love to have re people  enjoying the videos and benefiting m

and more people will find them yes if you if you  like the videos all right I'll go if you go yeah  

or them   and more people will find them yes i ou if you  like the videos all right I'll go if

so that's a correct example Miguel very good all  right uh let's see if I had that all right so yes  

go yeah   so that's a correct example Miguel v good all  right uh let's see if I had that all

hopefully Lewis uh you get the examples I would  have passed I would have passed so if you hear  

so yes   hopefully Lewis uh you get the exam s I would  have passed I would have passed so

that I would have passed becomes would have and  you might even also hear this is just like wood

ou hear   that I would have passed becomes wo have and  you might even also hear this is ju

like water wood Uh Wood uh yeah I would I  would have gone I would have gone to the  

t like wood like water wood Uh Wood uh ye I would I  would have gone I would have

party but I was tired I would have gone  I would have gone so I would have gone  

to the   party but I was tired I wou have gone  I would have gone so I wou

but I was tired I would have gone to the party but  I was tired now this is uh often a tricky thing  

ve gone   but I was tired I would have gone to t party but  I was tired now this is uh often a

for native speakers as they're learning for young  kids because they learn to write these things and  

y thing   for native speakers as they're learni for young  kids because they learn to write thes

they think it's of because they hear people  pronouncing it very quickly and smoothly like  

ngs and   they think it's of because they ar people  pronouncing it very quickly and s

that so I would of done something we're not we're  not actually writing that though it's I would have  

ly like   that so I would of done something we' not we're  not actually writing that though it's

all right uh let's see Kevin let's see I'm having  dinner so it's harder for me to be chatting yeah  

ld have   all right uh let's see Kevin let's se 'm having  dinner so it's harder for me to be c

or you could just say I'm having dinner so it's  hard to chat it's hard to chat so it's hard to  

ng yeah   or you could just say I'm having di r so it's  hard to chat it's hard to chat so

do something always think about what's like  a simpler way to express yourself it's hard  

hard to   do something always think about at's like  a simpler way to express yourse

to do something so it's hard if you know those  language patterns like hard to do then you learn  

's hard   to do something so it's hard if yo now those  language patterns like hard to do th

hard to chat or hard to eat or hard to stop  or hard to this and then you can also contrast  

u learn   hard to chat or hard to eat or d to stop  or hard to this and then you can a

that with easy to do something so it's easy to  stop easy to check easy to play easy to learn  

ontrast   that with easy to do something so s easy to  stop easy to check easy to play e

hard to do something or you can say difficult  as well so that's a particular language pattern  

o learn   hard to do something or you can s difficult  as well so that's a particular lang

that I'm teaching my younger daughter right now  like easy to do and hard to do and we just look  

pattern   that I'm teaching my younger daught right now  like easy to do and hard to do and

around at or talk about things in the house like  is it easy to draw and she says like no it's not  

st look   around at or talk about things in th ouse like  is it easy to draw and she says like

easy to draw or yes it is easy to draw so she can  draw a picture or or something like that all right  

t's not   easy to draw or yes it is easy to dra o she can  draw a picture or or something like th

but when you hear those language patterns even  these basic things like that that's how you can  

l right   but when you hear those language p erns even  these basic things like that that's

start using these all right then you will start  using them more more fluently and confidently  

you can   start using these all right then yo ill start  using them more more fluently and

all right I'm having dinner okay we got that  one uh so exactly this class which is happening  

idently   all right I'm having dinner okay got that  one uh so exactly this class which

right now Cedar said okay I got that one I'll  go if you go Lewis says could have could have  

ppening   right now Cedar said okay I got t one I'll  go if you go Lewis says could hav

I've seen these written and spoken in informal  English yes hopefully you will not see anybody  

ld have   I've seen these written and spoken informal  English yes hopefully you will not

like writing this the the grammar of people in  general gets worse over time just like every I  

anybody   like writing this the the grammar people in  general gets worse over time just

mean everything kind of breaks down over time  especially with uh with texting so people are  

every I   mean everything kind of breaks do over time  especially with uh with texting s

not writing grammatically correct English and  so like their tests are bad and and they're  

ple are   not writing grammatically correct glish and  so like their tests are bad and

they have trouble actually writing uh correctly  anyway so don't don't feel bad about that but  

they're   they have trouble actually writing correctly  anyway so don't don't feel bad ab

yes you should be understanding what the correct  thing is and this is especially important in the  

hat but   yes you should be understanding what e correct  thing is and this is especially impo

professional world where people do care about  correct English so if you're just texting your  

in the   professional world where people d are about  correct English so if you're just

friend it doesn't really matter you could just say  like Woulda and people understand that but don't  

ng your   friend it doesn't really matter you co just say  like Woulda and people understand th

write that on your job application or whatever  be careful with that all right so real English  

t don't   write that on your job application whatever  be careful with that all right so

versus real versus a class English yes so what  I call Textbook English it's correct English but  

English   versus real versus a class English s so what  I call Textbook English it's correct

often it will not prepare you for how natives  really communicate so that's why if you only  

ish but   often it will not prepare you for w natives  really communicate so that's why

listen to teachers I would have and you hear  only correct clear easy to understand examples  

ou only   listen to teachers I would have you hear  only correct clear easy to underst

then it's going to be more difficult when you get  into real conversations and someone says Woulda  

xamples   then it's going to be more difficult n you get  into real conversations and someone

why I would have gone I would have gone I would  have gone I would have gone all right so people  

Woulda   why I would have gone I would have e I would  have gone I would have gone all rig

don't speak like that they're trying to speak  and express themselves as quickly as possible  

people   don't speak like that they're try to speak  and express themselves as quickly

all right uh let's see uh Max says oh I think I  skipped let's see if I skipped anybody over here  

ossible   all right uh let's see uh Max says I think I  skipped let's see if I skipped anybo

I would have gone all right so if I were you and  I know about this language I will teach people  

er here   I would have gone all right so if I e you and  I know about this language I will

or help them for be understood so you should  do that also I'm well that's what I'm doing  

people   or help them for be understood s ou should  do that also I'm well that's wh

so I understand the language well so I'm trying  to make the language understandable yes that's  

m doing   so I understand the language well s 'm trying  to make the language understandabl

that's the point of these videos all right if  it was uh rainy today I would be enjoying the  

that's   that's the point of these videos right if  it was uh rainy today I would be

weather so if it was raining oh okay yeah  maybe you like rainy weather that's fine  

ing the   weather so if it was raining okay yeah  maybe you like rainy weather

says I'm eating ice cream while listening with  Drew very good all right or you can say listening  

's fine   says I'm eating ice cream while li ning with  Drew very good all right or you can s

to Drew same thing all right Danielle says I  think so there are more meanings right yes so  

stening   to Drew same thing all right Dan le says I  think so there are more meanings

we we covered so we covered more of those before  and again it's important not to try to learn like  

yes so   we we covered so we covered more of se before  and again it's important not to try t

the word by itself and all of the meanings it's  better to take one word and one use of that and  

rn like   the word by itself and all of the m ings it's  better to take one word and one use

then get lots of examples of that meaning and  then you can learn other things by itself so if  

hat and   then get lots of examples of that aning and  then you can learn other things by

we have the word so we have different meanings  of so so we might have uh like the the example  

f so if   we have the word so we have differ meanings  of so so we might have uh like the

before like a reason for doing something I was  tired so I took a nap I was hot so I took a bath  

example   before like a reason for doing som ing I was  tired so I took a nap I was hot so I

okay so there are other words like this or other  meanings of a word but you should learn one at a  

a bath   okay so there are other words like t or other  meanings of a word but you should le

time and get a bunch of examples so you very you  feel very confident so you feel very confident  

ne at a   time and get a bunch of examples so very you  feel very confident so you feel ve

about using that and then you can learn some other  ones but don't try to confuse Yourself by learning  

nfident   about using that and then you can lear ome other  ones but don't try to confuse Yourself

all these at the same time this is where a lot  of people make mistakes so they uh so so you're  

earning   all these at the same time this is ere a lot  of people make mistakes so they uh

hearing me using so a lot so they will try to  learn one word and then all of these meanings  

you're   hearing me using so a lot so they ll try to  learn one word and then all of th

with maybe one or two examples and then they can't  actually use these things confidently it's much  

eanings   with maybe one or two examples and the hey can't  actually use these things confident

better to focus on one get many examples until you  really understand it and then go to the next one  

's much   better to focus on one get many exampl until you  really understand it and then go to

okay all right uh let's see and Lewis says  thank you so much for your answer it's uh  

ext one   okay all right uh let's see an ewis says  thank you so much for your an

loud and clear teacher glad to hear I do like the  way you explain I learned a British accent and I  

it's uh   loud and clear teacher glad to hear I like the  way you explain I learned a British

get your accent very well yes I think people even  like maybe maybe they're learning British English  

t and I   get your accent very well yes I think ople even  like maybe maybe they're learning Bri

or Australian English or whatever I'm making  myself understandable uh to everybody everybody  

English   or Australian English or whateve 'm making  myself understandable uh to everybo

can understand me all right let's see oh it's  so late here we go so true Xavier says if I were  

erybody   can understand me all right let's e oh it's  so late here we go so true Xavier sa

you I wouldn't go outside due to the bad weather  yes so in this case you would say if I were you I  

I were   you I wouldn't go outside due to the d weather  yes so in this case you would say if

wouldn't go outside all right so if you're talking  about the past now we're going we're getting like  

e you I   wouldn't go outside all right so if yo e talking  about the past now we're going we're

more complicated here but if we're it's important  to remember the time period you're talking about

ng like   more complicated here but if we're it important  to remember the time period you're t

so if we're talking about if I were you so let's  just have like a very quick example because people  

lking about so if we're talking about if I were so let's  just have like a very quick example be

might be wondering about this so this is now  uh and this is the like the future over here  

people   might be wondering about this so is is now  uh and this is the like the futu

and this is the past if we're talking about  something that happened like in a in a moment  

er here   and this is the past if we're t ing about  something that happened like in a

in the past or if it if there was like some kind  of time time span where something happened this  

moment   in the past or if it if there was li some kind  of time time span where something h

time changes how we talk about a sentence okay  or how we describe a situation so if I were you

ed this   time changes how we talk about a s ence okay  or how we describe a situation so i

so if I were you and we're talking about  this so right now two people are talking  

I were you so if I were you and we're t ing about  this so right now two people

about something that happened in the past so  if I were you I would not have gone out [Music]  

talking   about something that happened in e past so  if I were you I would not have gone

again it's two people right now in  the present talking about something  

[Music]   again it's two people ht now in  the present talking abo

that happened in the past so if I  were you I would not have gone out  

mething   that happened in the t so if I  were you I would not h

so this If This Were Me if it's me in this  situation I would not have done that thing  

one out   so this If This Were Me if it' e in this  situation I would not have don

now if you're confused about this I don't want to  spend a lot of time talking about this but watch  

t thing   now if you're confused about this I d t want to  spend a lot of time talking about th

the video I have on half where we cover lots of  different examples and and go into detail about  

t watch   the video I have on half where we c r lots of  different examples and and go into

like from from basic to more difficult examples  of hat all right but the the basic idea from that  

l about   like from from basic to more diffic examples  of hat all right but the the basic id

video is that uh have just means we're talking  about an experience that's part of you also so I  

om that   video is that uh have just means w e talking  about an experience that's part of y

have green eyes or I have a black shirt or I have  a dog or I have something like that these are all  

so so I   have green eyes or I have a black shi or I have  a dog or I have something like that t

things that like I I control or I own or they  are a part of me in some way but there are also  

are all   things that like I I control or I n or they  are a part of me in some way but th

the the things you can't see like my experiences  my memories so I have memories of things okay so  

re also   the the things you can't see like my periences  my memories so I have memories of th

if we want to talk about something that happened  like it's a it's a part of me in the same way so I  

okay so   if we want to talk about something t happened  like it's a it's a part of me in the s

have been to like I have been to uh the United  Kingdom I've been to Britain or I've been to  

ay so I   have been to like I have been to u he United  Kingdom I've been to Britain or

England before so I have that experience so the  experience of going to England I have been there  

been to   England before so I have that exper ce so the  experience of going to England I hav

all right so just be careful uh when you're  when you're getting into more of these this is  

n there   all right so just be careful uh en you're  when you're getting into more of t

a much more complicated sentence we're talking  about some basic things over here uh so like  

this is   a much more complicated sentence w e talking  about some basic things over her

you like a more kind of basic easier way  to say this is like uh let's see [Applause]

so like   you like a more kind of basi asier way  to say this is like uh let's se

you can just say like I

[Applause] you can jus

I would not have and then whatever that thing  is you can say I would not have done that uh  

say like I I would not have and then whateve hat thing  is you can say I would not have

or like if you're talking about in general  like again this this is an example of someone  

that uh   or like if you're talking abou n general  like again this this is an exampl

talking about something that happened  in the past but if it's something that  

someone   talking about something t happened  in the past but if it's so

continues or it's something that maybe will  happen in the future so I would I would not  

ng that   continues or it's something tha aybe will  happen in the future so I would

I would not uh whatever that that thing is  so like if I were you I would not go outside  

uld not   I would not uh whatever that t thing is  so like if I were you I would no

you're talking about in general or you're  talking about the future all right so we  

outside   you're talking about in gener or you're  talking about the future all

don't we don't have the experience yet so  we don't have it it's just we will have that  

t so we   don't we don't have the exper ce yet so  we don't have it it's just we wi

so if I were you I would not go outside I'm  talking about in the future at some point or  

ve that   so if I were you I would not go tside I'm  talking about in the future at s

I'm just talking about in general all right  I would not go outside but again this is uh  

oint or   I'm just talking about in gener all right  I would not go outside but agai

is moving moving us into uh into into deeper  deeper water over here all right uh let's see

s is uh   is moving moving us into uh into to deeper  deeper water over here all right

all right Drew let's see okay I'm so late says  Nils but yes it's good to see you over there with  

h let's see all right Drew let's see okay I'm late says  Nils but yes it's good to see you ove

Nils in Wisconsin all right Kevin true all right  uh Xavier says if I were you I would okay we got  

re with   Nils in Wisconsin all right Kevin tr all right  uh Xavier says if I were you I would

through that one all right uh and Eunice says  oh unfortunately I came late to the class can  

we got   through that one all right uh and nice says  oh unfortunately I came late to t

you summarize today's lesson please uh this is  today's lesson going over basic words that you  

ass can   you summarize today's lesson pleas h this is  today's lesson going over basic wo

can use and really a lot of people struggle in  conversations because they they don't know this  

hat you   can use and really a lot of people ruggle in  conversations because they they don

information as well as they should and they're  it's it's important I really want you to think  

ow this   information as well as they should d they're  it's it's important I really want

we'll look at uh the the basic one of the  the main basic problems that Learners have  

o think   we'll look at uh the the basi ne of the  the main basic problems that L

so let's say so you have a like a learner here  this is uh this is our our English learner and  

rs have   so let's say so you have a like a rner here  this is uh this is our our English

they want to say something okay so they begin  first by thinking like I'm like thinking what what  

ner and   they want to say something okay s hey begin  first by thinking like I'm like thinki

is the idea I want to say in my native language uh  and then I maybe translate that thing into English  

at what   is the idea I want to say in my native nguage uh  and then I maybe translate that thing

and then I have something in English I want to say  so this is a lot of a lot of mental effort a lot  

English   and then I have something in English I nt to say  so this is a lot of a lot of mental

of mental processing you need so they first think  about something translate that thing and then they  

t a lot   of mental processing you need so they rst think  about something translate that thing a

have something in English that they say all right  the the alternative to this is like is just like  

en they   have something in English that they s all right  the the alternative to this is like

to understand the situation and think about it  in basic English okay so I can I can think of  

st like   to understand the situation and th about it  in basic English okay so I can I

something complex to say because I'm beginning  with my native language first and this is it's  

hink of   something complex to say because I beginning  with my native language first and

just a habit people have where they begin with  what do they want to say in their native language  

is it's   just a habit people have where the egin with  what do they want to say in their nat

and then they translate it and then they speak  or you could just speak something very basic and  

anguage   and then they translate it and the hey speak  or you could just speak something ve

simple all right and so the idea here for this  video is if you really know these things very  

sic and   simple all right and so the idea h for this  video is if you really know these

well you can quickly make sentences in English  without having to think and translate and that's  

gs very   well you can quickly make sentence n English  without having to think and translat

how you speak fluently so it's it's these steps  over here that prevent fluent communication so  

that's   how you speak fluently so it's it's ese steps  over here that prevent fluent comm

these are where you get stuck you get stuck every  time you have to think and translate and organize  

tion so   these are where you get stuck you get uck every  time you have to think and translate

sentences in your head because you're adding more  steps to the process but this one is just how can  

rganize   sentences in your head because you're ding more  steps to the process but this one is

I say something simple okay and then with these I  can start building more like different different  

how can   I say something simple okay and then h these I  can start building more like differe

things or longer things so the basic format for  example of a story uh is like X happens so why but  

fferent   things or longer things so the basi ormat for  example of a story uh is like X happen

Z and that's it so today uh I I was tired uh so I  went to sleep but some aliens came into my bedroom  

why but   Z and that's it so today uh I I was t d uh so I  went to sleep but some aliens came int

and got me all right very very basic story and  so we can continue this like so what happens with  

bedroom   and got me all right very very bas story and  so we can continue this like so what

with the aliens so people want to know well what  happens with the aliens I was tired so I went to  

ns with   with the aliens so people want to kn well what  happens with the aliens I was tired

bed but the aliens got me so so what happened so  I was in there in there like alien ship but the  

went to   bed but the aliens got me so so what ppened so  I was in there in there like alien

aliens fell asleep so I escaped from the aliens  okay just as an example but if you look at this  

but the   aliens fell asleep so I escaped fro he aliens  okay just as an example but if you

how simple is that all right and we can  add it make it more complex by putting and  

at this   how simple is that all righ nd we can  add it make it more complex by

like I was this and that so this happened  but this other thing happened over here  

ing and   like I was this and that so t happened  but this other thing happen

and the point is if you can get used to  making these sentences in English first  

er here   and the point is if you can t used to  making these sentences in E

just by looking at the basic building pieces of  of the language if you get good at using these  

h first   just by looking at the basic buildi pieces of  of the language if you get good at

and you get good by recognizing the patterns and  practicing those and just hearing them again and  

g these   and you get good by recognizing the terns and  practicing those and just hearing th

again then you can you can go directly to  fluent speech okay that's the basic idea  

ain and   again then you can you can go rectly to  fluent speech okay that's th

all right uh Lewis says been learning inverted  sentences and it's not rocket science at all or IU  

ic idea   all right uh Lewis says been learn inverted  sentences and it's not rocket science

I wouldn't do that yes that's another good way to  say it all right where IU you can say that as well  

l or IU   I wouldn't do that yes that's another od way to  say it all right where IU you can say

so and as a result consequently yes you can use  more difficult things I did not I purposefully  

as well   so and as a result consequently yes u can use  more difficult things I did not I

am not trying to teach more difficult things but  you certainly can use them I know Learners are  

sefully   am not trying to teach more difficul hings but  you certainly can use them I know

like well I don't want to say so that's so basic  I want to say consequently as a result of all  

ers are   like well I don't want to say so tha so basic  I want to say consequently as a r

right and that's fine you can use those things if  you like if you can make these sentences fluently  

of all   right and that's fine you can use tho things if  you like if you can make these senten

but if you already are trying to think and  translate in your head or if you're not quite sure  

luently   but if you already are trying think and  translate in your head or if you're no

about using things like what is the correct order  of a sentence like you know what pieces should  

te sure   about using things like what is the c ect order  of a sentence like you know what p

you use or am I using a word correctly or am I I  don't know maybe mispronouncing a word if you are  

should   you use or am I using a word correct or am I I  don't know maybe mispronouncing a wor

worried about all these things in these steps then  it's much better to just practice making simple  

you are   worried about all these things in thes teps then  it's much better to just practice m

sentences and then you can add consequently and  therefore and as such and and other things like  

simple   sentences and then you can add cons ently and  therefore and as such and and other

that so all those things are great if you want to  use them but I notice a lot of people what the the  

gs like   that so all those things are great if u want to  use them but I notice a lot of people

kind of communication I get in emails and comments  and even you can look in the chat right here the  

the the   kind of communication I get in emails comments  and even you can look in the chat ri

same kind of thing is there will be uh it's almost  like uh if we if we imagine like like here's  

ere the   same kind of thing is there will be uh 's almost  like uh if we if we imagine like

like a word and then another word over here and  then like over here is like some some difficult  

here's   like a word and then another word o here and  then like over here is like some so

Advanced expression it's like oh wow like you know  this like difficult word and then like here's like  

fficult   Advanced expression it's like oh wow l you know  this like difficult word and then like

some basic errors over here so it's typically like  this you will have the basic errors over here and  

's like   some basic errors over here so it's ty ally like  this you will have the basic errors o

then maybe some like there's an idiom or a phrasal  verb or something that's used correctly but the  

ere and   then maybe some like there's an idiom a phrasal  verb or something that's used corre

basic stuff is incorrect all right and so that's  why it's much better to focus on these basic  

but the   basic stuff is incorrect all right a so that's  why it's much better to focus on

things make sure you get them right and then you  can just think and communicate directly in English  

e basic   things make sure you get them right then you  can just think and communicate directl

all right uh let's see so Professor Douglas says  I would like to learn English because I want to  

English   all right uh let's see so Professor glas says  I would like to learn English becau

teach other people uh to speak so you'd say I want  to teach them to speak teach them to speak all  

want to   teach other people uh to speak so you' ay I want  to teach them to speak teach them

right and that's another language pattern you'll  hear this like teach someone to do something teach  

eak all   right and that's another language pa rn you'll  hear this like teach someone to do som

someone to do something teach someone to speak  uh let's see Mac again I think we can also use  

g teach   someone to do something teach some to speak  uh let's see Mac again I think we

when uh in an alternative to if yes it's correct  I there there are there are other ways to use uh  

lso use   when uh in an alternative to if yes s correct  I there there are there are other wa

these or Express these same ideas yes all right  but I want to give you the most basic easiest  

use uh   these or Express these same ideas y all right  but I want to give you the most b

things that you really should feel confident using  those I want to challenge you right now go ahead  

easiest   things that you really should feel con ent using  those I want to challenge you right

and type a sentence and I'll read it and if it's  correct then you can use something more difficult  

o ahead   and type a sentence and I'll read it d if it's  correct then you can use something mo

but if there's still errors in that then you have  a problem that you should probably fix all right  

fficult   but if there's still errors in that t you have  a problem that you should probably f

so grammar using words correctly this is the  most important skill you can develop when  

l right   so grammar using words correctly is is the  most important skill you can

you're learning a language so it's it's more  important than your accent as long as people  

op when   you're learning a language so it it's more  important than your accent as lo

can understand what you're saying so even if  you have an accent it doesn't matter if you  

people   can understand what you're sayin o even if  you have an accent it doesn't m

speak correctly but if you're not using the  correct words especially in your writing your  

if you   speak correctly but if you're n using the  correct words especially in your

written communication then you will still have  problems and and you will you you will you will  

ng your   written communication then you wil till have  problems and and you will you you w

always be worried about communicating  confidently in an actual conversation  

ou will   always be worried about c unicating  confidently in an actual

all right uh let's see I learn English watching  videos in YouTube and I just found Drew's Channel  

rsation   all right uh let's see I learn Engl watching  videos in YouTube and I just found Dr

but I need to learn much more Yep Tom Focus so if  you enjoy my videos I recommend watch a bunch of  

Channel   but I need to learn much more Yep Tom cus so if  you enjoy my videos I recommend watc

them uh they will really be telling you about how  to learn English like a native speaker and how to  

unch of   them uh they will really be telling y about how  to learn English like a native speake

get fluent like a native speaker which is what I'm  talking about here so notice these are all basic  

how to   get fluent like a native speaker which what I'm  talking about here so notice these a

things that little kids excuse me so little kids  know these things as well these are some of the  

l basic   things that little kids excuse me so ttle kids  know these things as well these are

first words that kids use like we have the example  with but before so my my daughters I was like but  

of the   first words that kids use like we have e example  with but before so my my daughters I

I don't want to but but but but but and they  will use words like this in their conversations  

ike but   I don't want to but but but but and they  will use words like this in their c

it's very easy to do this my my daughters are  not using the word therefore they're not using  

sations   it's very easy to do this my my d hters are  not using the word therefore they'

consequently they might understand me if  I use that but they're probably not using  

t using   consequently they might unde and me if  I use that but they're probab

that themselves all right so I don't speak to  them that way they might hear me use that with  

t using   that themselves all right so I do speak to  them that way they might hear me u

someone else and they will understand it  from from the context like ah consequently  

at with   someone else and they will u rstand it  from from the context like ah

means you know so or therefore all right but  I know that like you have to control yourself  

quently   means you know so or therefore a right but  I know that like you have to cont

and this is I talked about this in I don't know  maybe my my previous video where I where I said  

ourself   and this is I talked about this in on't know  maybe my my previous video where I

if you are uh if you're like this example over  here if you're using more complicated things  

I said   if you are uh if you're like this mple over  here if you're using more compli

but you don't use them correctly or you still  have basic mistakes then really get good with  

things   but you don't use them correctly you still  have basic mistakes then really g

the basic stuff it's very easy to do and you will  feel a lot more confident in your conversations  

od with   the basic stuff it's very easy to do you will  feel a lot more confident in your c

because you know you can express whatever  you want to express without thinking about it  

sations   because you know you can expr whatever  you want to express without think

all right um let's see Lewis is this example if  I were you I would not have gone is an example  

bout it   all right um let's see Lewis is thi xample if  I were you I would not have gone i

of mixed conditionals so if I were you I would  not um yes I don't again I don't want to get  

example   of mixed conditionals so if I were u I would  not um yes I don't again I don't

into like more difficult and worrying about what  the specific name for for grammar points is you  

to get   into like more difficult and worryin bout what  the specific name for for grammar p

can always look up examples if you're if you go to  Google and type in mixed conditionals or whatever  

is you   can always look up examples if you're you go to  Google and type in mixed conditionals

you want to talk about the different kinds of  conditionals and get examples for that but I  

hatever   you want to talk about the differ kinds of  conditionals and get examples fo

caution you to really think about the situation  because this is how natives are thinking about

him they're not thinking like am I using the first  conditional or whatever they're not thinking about  

g about   him they're not thinking like am I usi the first  conditional or whatever they're not th

that they're just thinking about when we use  something all right so I don't I mean I don't I  

g about   that they're just thinking about en we use  something all right so I don't I me

only like maybe using the name of a grammar point  just so people can look it up if they want to  

don't I   only like maybe using the name of a g mar point  just so people can look it up if

uh let's see what's the right way Professor  Douglas again says what's the right way to  

want to   uh let's see what's the right w Professor  Douglas again says what's the

use the word on to uh I guess that's a use  uh that's used you would see that's used  

way to   use the word on to uh I guess t's a use  uh that's used you would see

to express something related to aim or go well  typically you're talking about like an example  

's used   to express something related to ai r go well  typically you're talking about lik

double the grammar in the same sentence because  we know what we're talking about but in general  

to like   double the grammar in the same sent e because  we know what we're talking about bu

um I I will never be you I was not you in the  past I will not be you in the future so if I

were you at any time really that's what that means  like it doesn't matter if we're talking about the  

so if I   were you at any time really that's wha hat means  like it doesn't matter if we're talki

past or the present or the future that so that's  that's the simplest way um because I'm not I'm

hat you   can get fluent in particular words o hrases in  one minute five minutes it depends on

rn I think it   would be interesting to le like something  that's unrelated to English o

probably wouldn't learn Chinese uh maybe Arabic  uh or something that has like also a different  

Japanese so I   probably wouldn't learn Chine uh maybe Arabic  uh or something that has lik

written language it would just be interesting to  try to do that if I had someone who could teach  

o a different   written language it would just interesting to  try to do that if I had someo

can understand everything you say asks Ellis uh  your ability to understand and your ability to  

sh level if I   can understand everything you y asks Ellis uh  your ability to understand a

speak are two different things so you could have  a high level of understanding and a weak ability  

ur ability to   speak are two different things you could have  a high level of understanding

of speech that's why I talk about people having  an English fluency profile where your ability  

weak ability   of speech that's why I talk a t people having  an English fluency profile

to communicate maybe does everybody know what  the English fluency profile is let me know and  

your ability   to communicate maybe does e ybody know what  the English fluency profile

I can I can uh I can cover that uh in this video  the roof is stronger than the foundation yes so  

t me know and   I can I can uh I can cover tha h in this video  the roof is stronger than the

often like if if you have like a strong roof but a  weak Foundation then the whole thing will collapse  

dation yes so   often like if if you have like a rong roof but a  weak Foundation then the whole t

all right we don't have technology to rescue the  submarine but in 1969 we had to get to the moon  

will collapse   all right we don't have techno y to rescue the  submarine but in 1969 we had

it's the the more more arguments I guess  about about Flat Earth uh but I think maybe  

t to the moon   it's the the more more guments I guess  about about Flat Earth uh

the problem if you're talking about that recent  submarine people don't even know where that is  

I think maybe   the problem if you're talking out that recent  submarine people don't even

um and that was yeah that's a whole interesting uh  interesting interesting story by itself someday in  

where that is   um and that was yeah that's a wh interesting uh  interesting interesting story by

the future I will have Drew's fluency yeah again  you you develop the fluency I have piece by piece  

lf someday in   the future I will have Drew's ency yeah again  you you develop the fluency I h

so by understanding this like I know how to use  and boom I can use that this and that and this and  

iece by piece   so by understanding this like know how to use  and boom I can use that this and

that or this or that other thing so as you can use  these pieces you become fluent in individual words  

and this and   that or this or that other thing as you can use  these pieces you become fluent i

and phrases you don't get fluent in the whole  language you get fluent in words and phrases and  

ividual words   and phrases you don't get f nt in the whole  language you get fluent in wor

if you do that then you get fluent in the whole  language all right so over time you develop a  

d phrases and   if you do that then you get f nt in the whole  language all right so over

strong understanding of using the the language in  general foreign what does plateau mean let's see

ing thing you   learn about uh getting fluen n English is as  you understand something you

in different ways and being just more fluent  means you really understand what you're

sical meaning   first and then start learni more figurative  uses of that let me know i

that makes sense all right um so you are the best acher I've ever  seen thank you glad to hear i

Learners to watch movies and now this is a  good use of the vocabulary to hear you say  

ggest English   Learners to watch movies d now this is a  good use of the vocabula

do you suggest English Learners do something  like do I suggest you do something I wouldn't  

hear you say   do you suggest English Lea rs do something  like do I suggest you do so

say do I suggest what did you say do I suggest  Learners to watch movies it's just do you suggest  

ng I wouldn't   say do I suggest what did yo ay do I suggest  Learners to watch movies it's j

Learners watch movies you don't need the two in  there foreign so do you uh like do you recommend  

o you suggest   Learners watch movies you don need the two in  there foreign so do you uh lik

or do you suggest same thing so do you suggest  Learners watch movies with subtitles or without  

you recommend   or do you suggest same thing do you suggest  Learners watch movies with su

subtitles yeah subtitles are fine I I watch  TV shows with subtitles on them that's fine

es or without   subtitles yeah subtitles fine I I watch  TV shows with subtitles o

uh and aren't grammar and spelling really  necessary to speak fluently yes uh I will I  

them that's fine uh and aren't grammar a spelling really  necessary to speak fluent

will I will make this very clear but I make this  point again and again the point is to understand  

s uh I will I   will I will make this very cle but I make this  point again and again the poin

the grammar like a native rather than try to study  rules or get translations of that so grammar is  

to understand   the grammar like a native rather an try to study  rules or get translations of

essential all right but how you learn the grammar  is important so if you try to if you try to learn  

so grammar is   essential all right but how you arn the grammar  is important so if you try to i

like like a math problem kind of thing so I  have um let's say in a in a Japanese uh Japanese  

try to learn   like like a math problem d of thing so I  have um let's say in a in a Ja

textbook it's like okay you should have adjective  plus uh noun plus uh this other thing plus uh  

e uh Japanese   textbook it's like okay you sho have adjective  plus uh noun plus uh this o

whatever and like you should think about it  like that so this is a textbook way of trying to  

thing plus uh   whatever and like you sho think about it  like that so this is a textboo

understand grammar so they give you like the name  of a thing like so this is you know the present  

of trying to   understand grammar so they give u like the name  of a thing like so this is yo

perfect plus the past simple plus adjective plus  preposition you're not going to learn the language  

w the present   perfect plus the past simple p adjective plus  preposition you're not going to

that way all right instead you need to begin with  a situation and understand what are the words that  

the language   that way all right instead you d to begin with  a situation and understand what

people use in that this is how Native children  are learning the language so I have a marker here  

he words that   people use in that this is h Native children  are learning the language so I

take off the cap so I take off the cap and put  the cap on take off put on or I could take off  

a marker here   take off the cap so I take o the cap and put  the cap on take off put on o

my shirt or put on my shirt as well so I'm not  telling you like what what the grammar or or  

ould take off   my shirt or put on my shirt well so I'm not  telling you like what what

like the like the names of things are but you  understand the words because you understand the  

grammar or or   like the like the names of ngs are but you  understand the words because

situation so if you're learning English like  a native this is how you do it so not like  

nderstand the   situation so if you're lea ng English like  a native this is how you

a textbook where you're trying to memorize the  names of grammar rules or you're trying to learn  

t so not like   a textbook where you're tryi to memorize the  names of grammar rules or you'

through like grammar structures in your native  language you really should be doing it through  

ying to learn   through like grammar structu in your native  language you really should b

English and making making sure you're getting  understandable messages understandable examples  

ng it through   English and making making s you're getting  understandable messages under

all right I've been told by a friend who is  English so who is an English teacher she went  

able examples   all right I've been told a friend who is  English so who is an Englis

you have to think in English and stop translating  what you are going to speak if you like it go for  

cher she went   you have to think in English an top translating  what you are going to speak if

it yes uh Louis so again the the reason people  translate is because they like it's it's much  

ike it go for   it yes uh Louis so again the e reason people  translate is because they l

easier to give people a translation of a word  than than to really help them understand it in  

t's it's much   easier to give people a tra ation of a word  than than to really help the

the native language all right so if I wanted  to teach you Japanese I've given this example  

erstand it in   the native language all ri so if I wanted  to teach you Japanese I've

a lot but if I have like a couple of different  things if I want to teach you colors there are  

this example   a lot but if I have like a c le of different  things if I want to teach yo

two ways I can do this the first is just to  give you a translation so I use your native  

ors there are   two ways I can do this th irst is just to  give you a translation so

language and I just say okay this is this  color this is this color and this is that  

e your native   language and I just say ay this is this  color this is this colo

color or I could teach you in Japanese  by making it understandable okay Maka

this is that   color or I could tea you in Japanese  by making it unders

kudo kudoimaka Kudo crude oil shots

andable okay Maka kudo kudoimaka Ku

okay so I'm helping you understand it by  connecting the situation with the vocabulary  

o crude oil shots okay so I'm helping yo nderstand it by  connecting the situation w

I don't need your native language to do that so I  can teach you Japanese in Japanese just by making  

he vocabulary   I don't need your native langua to do that so I  can teach you Japanese in Japan

it understandable okay now you might forget  what I taught you you know so the next day I  

ust by making   it understandable okay no ou might forget  what I taught you you know

would probably give you another example something  related to that look like here's another black  

he next day I   would probably give you another ample something  related to that look like he

thing like okay okay so as I do that you will  you will automatically come to understand and  

another black   thing like okay okay so as o that you will  you will automatically come

you will feel like ah look at that I got it I got  it so it's not because I told you what something  

nderstand and   you will feel like ah look at t I got it I got  it so it's not because I told

means you discovered that for yourself because of  because of me making the language understandable  

hat something   means you discovered that for y self because of  because of me making the langu

all right so just like here I take a situation  and give you the vocabulary for that situation  

nderstandable   all right so just like here ake a situation  and give you the vocabulary

rather than trying to give you translations  or rules all right hopefully that makes sense  

hat situation   rather than trying to giv ou translations  or rules all right hopefull

I've already tried to learn Japanese before some  years ago I'd start a course but couldn't finish  

t makes sense   I've already tried to learn Ja ese before some  years ago I'd start a course b

it yes I I'm not aware of a Japanese course  that teaches like the way I'm talking about  

uldn't finish   it yes I I'm not aware of Japanese course  that teaches like the way

I wish there was one I would be using it if  somebody if somebody could teach me like that  

talking about   I wish there was one I wo be using it if  somebody if somebody could

yes uh so plateau and flat are uh cognates well  it's it's important to understand like a plateau  

me like that   yes uh so plateau and flat ar h cognates well  it's it's important to underst

has a flat top but a plateau implies like there  was some kind of progress first all right so maybe  

ike a plateau   has a flat top but a plateau lies like there  was some kind of progress first

you were like moving up but now you're just moving  sideways all right so it's not exactly the same  

ight so maybe   you were like moving up but now 're just moving  sideways all right so it's no

uh yes Plateau is a French word isn't it  I'm from Morocco and I can speak French  

ctly the same   uh yes Plateau is a Fr h word isn't it  I'm from Morocco and

yes I'm guessing Plateau is French it  sounds like it is it should be foreign

speak French   yes I'm guessing Pl au is French it  sounds like it is it

[Applause] let's see

should be foreign [A

all right I think I got those already all right  unit says you're for uh your approach is really

every day even after this video I will get more  comments and more emails from people who have

high level vocabulary but they still can't speak  either they are complaining that they can't speak  

ople who have   high level vocabulary but they ill can't speak  either they are complaining tha

or they are just like they have uh like the high  level vocabulary but low level mistakes in the  

y can't speak   or they are just like they hav h like the high  level vocabulary but low lev

sentences and and what they're writing so I don't  want you to make that mistake all right but again  

stakes in the   sentences and and what they're ting so I don't  want you to make that mistake a

like the the things I do on the YouTube channel  it's talking about principles about how you should

how can I teach a student who insists on being  fluent in English in general instead of being

time yeah that's a good question the way I explain  this to people uh maybe I've shown this before

's a waste of   time yeah that's a good question e way I explain  this to people uh maybe I've

so I am a native fluent English speaker  

shown this before so I am a native flue

and yet uh I only know like a very small portion  of the language so I think they're like 170

000 words whatever the number is that's the total  vocabulary in common use but I only know a small  

y're like 170   000 words whatever the number i hat's the total  vocabulary in common use but I

not fluent in lots of subjects I could not speak  fluently about so I could have maybe a basic

maybe a basic   conversation like talking about don't know some  science thing or or something

I could probably learn if someone could teach me  I said I would learn that vocabulary but I'm not

or was explaining uh like imagine imagine some g s on the ground  and the professor said if one p

grass so we have like this is a foot over here so  one person steps on the grass it doesn't hurt the  

steps on the   grass so we have like this is a ot over here so  one person steps on the grass i

grass at all but if like a hundred people step on  the grass it really hurts the grass and my friend  

sn't hurt the   grass at all but if like a hund people step on  the grass it really hurts the g

was like well there should be some like a little  bit of hurt to the grass if one person steps on it  

and my friend   was like well there should be e like a little  bit of hurt to the grass if one

and the professor was saying like no it doesn't  then like that doesn't make any sense like there  

n steps on it   and the professor was saying e no it doesn't  then like that doesn't make an

should be a little bit of hurt to the grass with  even one person even just a tiny amount and so of  

se like there   should be a little bit of hurt the grass with  even one person even just a tin

course if one person can hurt the grass a little  bit then a lot of people can hurt the grass a lot  

unt and so of   course if one person can hurt grass a little  bit then a lot of people can hu

and I'm just using this example because it  works the same way with vocabulary so if if  

e grass a lot   and I'm just using this mple because it  works the same way with v

you understand like one word well then a lot of  these things if you understand them all then that  

lary so if if   you understand like one word l then a lot of  these things if you understand

improves your overall fluency but it's impossible  to become fluent in the whole language at the  

all then that   improves your overall fluency b it's impossible  to become fluent in the who

same time nobody learns like that all right so  just remind people that like uh you can try to  

nguage at the   same time nobody learns like at all right so  just remind people that like

do things like one way uh and if that's working  for you great but it's probably not working for  

ou can try to   do things like one way uh and that's working  for you great but it's probab

you and this is the easier way to do it so to  get fluent in individual words and phrases and  

t working for   you and this is the easier to do it so to  get fluent in individual wor

then that should be giving you more motivation  to learn even more things so when I teach people  

d phrases and   then that should be giving y more motivation  to learn even more things so w

the idea is to help them really understand one  thing so they they think oh like I can really  

teach people   the idea is to help them rea understand one  thing so they they think oh

do this I understand it's possible for me to  get fluent if I can get fluent in one word I  

I can really   do this I understand it's sible for me to  get fluent if I can get fl

can probably get fluent in 10 words or 20 words or  two thousand okay so that's how that process works  

in one word I   can probably get fluent in 10 wo or 20 words or  two thousand okay so that's how

uh let's see and Chris yoga says hello  teacher from India good morning nice to  

process works   uh let's see and Chr yoga says hello  teacher from India go

see you there all right uh What uh  what your course offers it says uh  

rning nice to   see you there al ight uh What uh  what your course

so you can click on the links in the  description below this video if you'd  

rs it says uh   so you can click o he links in the  description below t

like to learn more about Frederick and fluent  for life but the basic idea with fluent for life  

ideo if you'd   like to learn more about Fr rick and fluent  for life but the basic idea wi

is it most students they're they have  like most of the people I help really  

uent for life   is it most students ey're they have  like most of the pe

so they they're here they already have like a  pretty good knowledge of the language but they  

I help really   so they they're here they a ady have like a  pretty good knowledge of the

can't use it fluently and so they want to get up  here to the fluent level and uh part of this is  

uage but they   can't use it fluently and so t want to get up  here to the fluent level and

not understanding natives who also are going to  speak like the language is faster they're using  

rt of this is   not understanding natives who so are going to  speak like the language is fa

um maybe a less clear accent so some people Mumble  they don't speak well or clearly like I'm speaking  

they're using   um maybe a less clear accent so e people Mumble  they don't speak well or clearly

now and also the vocabulary is much different  so they're they're kind of two two ways that  

I'm speaking   now and also the vocabulary much different  so they're they're kind of

Learners are trying to do this by themselves the  first way uh is where they try to jump directly  

two ways that   Learners are trying to do this themselves the  first way uh is where they tr

to this information maybe by watching movies or  TV shows or something like that so they're trying  

jump directly   to this information maybe by ching movies or  TV shows or something like that

to just go up here uh but it's often too difficult  and they find that they can understand movies but  

hey're trying   to just go up here uh but it's o n too difficult  and they find that they can und

they still are unable to speak so this is way  one uh way two is where they're kind of doing  

nd movies but   they still are unable to sp so this is way  one uh way two is where the

the same thing over and over again uh where  they're watching more YouTube videos that are  

kind of doing   the same thing over and o again uh where  they're watching more YouTu

like taught by you know people like myself who are  trying to you know teach them some new vocabulary  

deos that are   like taught by you know people l myself who are  trying to you know teach them s

but because the vocabulary is all clear it's all  easy to understand uh they're not able to get to  

ew vocabulary   but because the vocabulary is clear it's all  easy to understand uh they're

this level so they they learn more but it's not  preparing them for real conversations okay so  

ble to get to   this level so they they learn re but it's not  preparing them for real con

notice these two different approaches either you  try to go directly to this by yourself or you do  

tions okay so   notice these two different app ches either you  try to go directly to this by

more learning with teachers and this is why lots  of Learners like they could be in English classes  

elf or you do   more learning with teachers an his is why lots  of Learners like they could be

this is not just YouTube videos but you could be  taking English classes in real life for many years  

glish classes   this is not just YouTube video ut you could be  taking English classes in real l

and still not be a good speaker because you're  not really prepared for the different language  

or many years   and still not be a good spea because you're  not really prepared for the

of real conversations so what we do is basically  method three where we try to give you a staircase  

rent language   of real conversations so what do is basically  method three where we try to gi

to get up to here and that's how fluent  for Life works so fluent for life is giving  

u a staircase   to get up to here and at's how fluent  for Life works so fluent

you examples of the real language but we're  going to teach it to you in different steps  

ife is giving   you examples of the real guage but we're  going to teach it to you

so we don't overwhelm you with information we're  going to focus on vocabulary here's some grammar  

fferent steps   so we don't overwhelm you with formation we're  going to focus on vocabulary h

and then here is the same vocabulary but spoken  by natives how natives would say it and you're  

some grammar   and then here is the same voc lary but spoken  by natives how natives would

learning about the culture and other things  like that but it's basically taking this and  

it and you're   learning about the cultur nd other things  like that but it's basical

giving it giving this to you in the right  steps which also gives you review of that  

king this and   giving it giving this t ou in the right  steps which also gives

information so so you have basically these three  different approaches for Learning and so if you  

eview of that   information so so you have bas lly these three  different approaches for Lear

if you think you can do this way that's great  a lot of people try to learn that way and some  

and so if you   if you think you can do thi ay that's great  a lot of people try to learn

people become good speakers that way you can  it's it's quite difficult to do learning more  

way and some   people become good speaker hat way you can  it's it's quite difficult t

with teachers will teach you a lot it will  increase your vocabulary but will probably  

learning more   with teachers will teach u a lot it will  increase your vocabulary

not make you a good speaker because it's not  preparing you you're just like going up you're  

will probably   not make you a good speake ecause it's not  preparing you you're just li

not going up and over all right but this is  how we move you in easy steps and make sure  

ing up you're   not going up and over all ght but this is  how we move you in easy s

it's easy for you to communicate so that's what  fluent for life is so what I do in these videos  

and make sure   it's easy for you to communic so that's what  fluent for life is so what I

it's it's still a lot of like this kind of thing  where I'm teaching you principles for Learning and  

these videos   it's it's still a lot of like s kind of thing  where I'm teaching you principle

also teaching you some vocabulary but you really  should be hearing how natives are really using  

Learning and   also teaching you some vocabul but you really  should be hearing how native

those things in conversations and that means you  can't learn with only me so influence for Life  

really using   those things in conversations that means you  can't learn with only me so

we've got lots of different examples teachers uh  you know like myself but also mostly people from  

ence for Life   we've got lots of different ex les teachers uh  you know like myself but also

just everyday Everyday Life Giving You examples  of how people would normally speak all right so  

y people from   just everyday Everyday Life G ng You examples  of how people would normally

real natives from the UK England United States  Canada Australia people all over the place so as  

all right so   real natives from the UK Eng d United States  Canada Australia people all ov

you see those examples then you become repaired  for conversations that's how it works foreign

e place so as   you see those examples then y become repaired  for conversations that's ho

let's see you have the impression to be stuck  

it works foreign let's see you have the impr

I don't know if that's is that a question  or let's see oh let's see because you're so  

n to be stuck   I don't know if that's that a question  or let's see oh let's see

used to quantity and cramming instead of depth  and understanding they just want more and more  

use you're so   used to quantity and crammin nstead of depth  and understanding they just

advanced vocabulary yeah and so I try to do that  like and this is this is the balance that I have  

more and more   advanced vocabulary yeah and s try to do that  like and this is this is the b

to work with as as like a person on YouTube so  my my videos would probably be more popular if  

e that I have   to work with as as like a pe n on YouTube so  my my videos would probably

I was just like here here's like 10 more phrases  but I just can't I like I can't do it because it  

re popular if   I was just like here here's li 10 more phrases  but I just can't I like I can'

doesn't really help people very much so that's the  that's the that's the trade-off so you can do that  

it because it   doesn't really help people very h so that's the  that's the that's the trade-off

you can improve with those things but really it's  the review it's it's all of this it's this process  

u can do that   you can improve with those thin but really it's  the review it's it's all of this

here that gets you fluent all right but you the  nice thing is you feel the fluency improving as  

this process   here that gets you fluent all ght but you the  nice thing is you feel the fl

you go through these steps so every lesson  should really be making you feel more fluent  

improving as   you go through these ste so every lesson  should really be making yo

foreign Louis says how many words do I need to  be affluent uh in English if you mean fluent in  

l more fluent   foreign Louis says how many ds do I need to  be affluent uh in English if

English remember as I said before uh you don't  need to have a certain number of words because  

ean fluent in   English remember as I said b re uh you don't  need to have a certain numbe

you get fluent in individual words and phrases so  this is not about like you don't become fluent if  

words because   you get fluent in individual wo and phrases so  this is not about like you don'

you get a thousand words or ten thousand words you  get fluent as you understand each of these words  

ome fluent if   you get a thousand words or ten usand words you  get fluent as you understand e

fluently so you get fluent in this word you get  fluent in this word or this phrase and then as you  

f these words   fluently so you get fluent in is word you get  fluent in this word or this phra

do that with word by word you know each word word  word then that naturally becomes fluent you know  

d then as you   do that with word by word you k each word word  word then that naturally becom

it develops into fluency in the whole language  that's how it works so don't worry about trying  

uent you know   it develops into fluency in whole language  that's how it works so don't

to learn Ten Thousand Words so like students  think and this is I've shown this graph before so  

about trying   to learn Ten Thousand Word o like students  think and this is I've shown th

students think like as they continue to learn more  in war like let's say this is like number of words  

aph before so   students think like as they cont e to learn more  in war like let's say this is li

so the number of words and what is say let's see  uh I don't know let's say this is like time over  

mber of words   so the number of words and wha s say let's see  uh I don't know let's say this

here uh I guess it's kind of backwards but just  imagine uh so people think like as they get more  

ike time over   here uh I guess it's kind of kwards but just  imagine uh so people think lik

and more words like suddenly there's a magic  number where fluency goes up but this doesn't  

they get more   and more words like sudden there's a magic  number where fluency goes u

happen and this is why I know students who know  five words and can't speak I know students who  

this doesn't   happen and this is why I know udents who know  five words and can't speak I

know a hundred words and can't speak I know  a student's the students who know like 10  

students who   know a hundred words and 't speak I know  a student's the student

000 words or a thousand words and still  can't speak and that's because there is no  

know like 10   000 words or a thousa words and still  can't speak and that's b

magic number that depends on on how many words  you know it doesn't matter how many words you  

e there is no   magic number that depends on how many words  you know it doesn't matter

know it matters how well you know the vocabulary  okay how well do you know the vocabulary so as  

any words you   know it matters how well you k the vocabulary  okay how well do you know th

you learn each one of these things and you know  them very well okay now I really understand how  

abulary so as   you learn each one of these t gs and you know  them very well okay now I rea

to use it I understand it like a native I feel  confident about that now I move on to the next  

nderstand how   to use it I understand it li a native I feel  confident about that now I m

one and then I learned that one okay and so we  do this like in fluent for life with particular  

n to the next   one and then I learned that okay and so we  do this like in fluent for li

topics so we want to really focus on one topic  make sure you understand it very well and then  

th particular   topics so we want to really us on one topic  make sure you understand it

you move on to the next one very easy so you  get fluent in those particular things it's not  

well and then   you move on to the next on ery easy so you  get fluent in those particul

it's not about uh like knowing a certain number of  vocabulary and this is why another good reason why  

ings it's not   it's not about uh like knowing a rtain number of  vocabulary and this is why anoth

little kids speak better than many adult English  Learners even though the adults know more words  

od reason why   little kids speak better than y adult English  Learners even though the adul

all right remember that all right I'll say that  again often many children native English-speaking  

ow more words   all right remember that all r t I'll say that  again often many children nativ

children speak better than adults so speak better  than adult English learners even though they know  

lish-speaking   children speak better than adul so speak better  than adult English learners eve

fewer words all right Tom says Drew speaks  Japanese very well yes I'm trying but again I  

ugh they know   fewer words all right To ays Drew speaks  Japanese very well yes I'm

don't I I it's it's I I recognize like I'm getting  fluent in words word by word for Japanese so as I  

g but again I   don't I I it's it's I I recogniz ike I'm getting  fluent in words word by word fo

learn more words sometimes I might learn something  but don't really understand it so I know that word  

anese so as I   learn more words sometimes I mig learn something  but don't really understand it s

and I can recognize it when I hear it from someone  else or read it in like a newspaper or something  

now that word   and I can recognize it when I he it from someone  else or read it in like a news

but I can't really use it confidently myself so  I don't have that ownership level of that word  

or something   but I can't really use it con ently myself so  I don't have that ownership

so other words I do know fluently in some words I  do not so I know I have to go back and review that  

of that word   so other words I do know fluent in some words I  do not so I know I have to go ba

word or to understand it better to use it fluently  but how do you do that if it wasn't something  

d review that   word or to understand it better use it fluently  but how do you do that if i

visual like showing us markers so again like if  I'm I'm giving you the like the marker example  

n't something   visual like showing us marker o again like if  I'm I'm giving you the like

because most people who watch my videos are not  native Japanese or they don't know Japanese anyway  

arker example   because most people who watch videos are not  native Japanese or they don't kn

um so it doesn't make sense for me to give you  like a more difficult I well I could probably  

panese anyway   um so it doesn't make sense me to give you  like a more difficult I wel

give you like teach you something more difficult  in Japanese it doesn't depend on like a visual  

ould probably   give you like teach you someth more difficult  in Japanese it doesn't depen

example but usually what happens when people are  learning a language is you you should have some  

like a visual   example but usually what happe when people are  learning a language is you yo

kind of foundation in the language first uh and  and it's easier to do that with a visual example  

uld have some   kind of foundation in the lan ge first uh and  and it's easier to do that wit

rather than me trying to like explain it to you or  something using translations so you have to pick  

isual example   rather than me trying to like ex in it to you or  something using translations s

when you're teaching someone either you're going  to make it understandable in the language and  

have to pick   when you're teaching someone e er you're going  to make it understandable i

that's what helps you learn to speak or I'm just  going to give you some translations and grammar  

language and   that's what helps you learn to eak or I'm just  going to give you some transl

explanations and that's a little bit faster but  it stops you from speaking so again when I give  

s and grammar   explanations and that's a lit bit faster but  it stops you from speaking so

my typical marker example it's just like here's  a physical thing I can have but I can also maybe  

n when I give   my typical marker example it' ust like here's  a physical thing I can have bu

teach you some more difficult things in Japanese  but it would be more difficult to understand and  

an also maybe   teach you some more difficult ngs in Japanese  but it would be more difficult

like require more of a foundation if I'm trying to  do it all in Japanese all right but it's easier if  

nderstand and   like require more of a foundatio f I'm trying to  do it all in Japanese all right

I can begin with this like okay I I explain like  this is a black marker and this is a black shirt  

t's easier if   I can begin with this like oka I explain like  this is a black marker and thi

all right you can make that connection naturally  in your mind and the point is to help you discover  

a black shirt   all right you can make that co ction naturally  in your mind and the point is to

that for yourself rather than me telling  you what it is so if you're like oh look  

you discover   that for yourself rath than me telling  you what it is so if y

at that like I remember that word and now I  understand what Drew is talking about without  

like oh look   at that like I remember t word and now I  understand what Drew is tal

me like giving an explanation all right so it's  possible to do that but I it you know it's much  

about without   me like giving an explanation l right so it's  possible to do that but I it

easier for me to do this for people because they  don't have any foundation in Japanese at all  

now it's much   easier for me to do this for p le because they  don't have any foundation

I actually teach a lesson where I do it in an  alien language and it's the same basic thing  

panese at all   I actually teach a lesson w e I do it in an  alien language and it's th

but just using a language you don't know  

e basic thing   but just using a langu

uh let's see the aha moment yes now I got  it all right Xavier in order to translate in  

ou don't know   uh let's see the aha mo t yes now I got  it all right Xavier in ord

your head the fact that translating in your  head describes things and events in English  

translate in   your head the fact that t slating in your  head describes things and

around you can help what do you think about  that yes so the the basic thing is be simple  

ts in English   around you can help what you think about  that yes so the the basic

you know marker this is a marker so I can I can  make this a much more complicated sentence this is  

is be simple   you know marker this is a mar so I can I can  make this a much more complicate

a marker this is the marker I bought yesterday  uh at a store downtown much more complicated  

tence this is   a marker this is the marker ought yesterday  uh at a store downtown muc

sentence I'm still talking about this same thing  all right so be simple if you you can recognize  

e complicated   sentence I'm still talking abo this same thing  all right so be simple if you

your level of fluency and like about like specific  words that you're using so if you're good at using  

can recognize   your level of fluency and like a t like specific  words that you're using so if yo

basic things then move on to more complicated  things all right but do it one step at a time  

good at using   basic things then move on t ore complicated  things all right but do it

all right how to learn not to use recommend  to in a native way how to learn how to learn  

tep at a time   all right how to learn no o use recommend  to in a native way how to

not to use recommend too oh just you  would just uh get lots of examples  

how to learn   not to use recomme too oh just you  would just uh ge

I recommend you sleep well I recommend you eat  uh eat like a good meal every day I recommend  

s of examples   I recommend you sleep well I commend you eat  uh eat like a good meal eve

you practice if you want to get good I recommend  you go I recommend you eat all right and then I  

y I recommend   you practice if you want to ge ood I recommend  you go I recommend you eat al

would also maybe recommend uh like you do that  with different people so I recommend they do  

ht and then I   would also maybe recommend u ike you do that  with different people so I

something I recommend this group of people  does something all right or do something or  

mmend they do   something I recommend th group of people  does something all right

whatever okay so it's the it's the examples of  a thing so what most most Learners are doing

something or   whatever okay so it's the it the examples of  a thing so what most most

the the the typical ESL so English as a second  language way of learning is you you spend  

earners are doing the the the typical ESL so E ish as a second  language way of learnin

like a lot of time getting uh like grammar  explanations and then only a few examples  

you you spend   like a lot of time getti uh like grammar  explanations and then o

but the the native way is the opposite where we  try to help you understand something and then  

few examples   but the the native way is the posite where we  try to help you understand

give you lots of examples and so with that like if  you're looking for a particular like a sentence or  

hing and then   give you lots of examples and so th that like if  you're looking for a particular

language pattern then like I recommend you  do something so you're just talking about  

a sentence or   language pattern then li I recommend you  do something so you're

a particular person and what do you recommend  so I recommend you go I recommend you watch I  

talking about   a particular person and wha o you recommend  so I recommend you go I rec

recommend you listen all right so very simple  I recommend and then who is the person you're  

d you watch I   recommend you listen all ri so very simple  I recommend and then who is

recommending to what what is that what is that  person all right so that's how you get it it's  

person you're   recommending to what what is at what is that  person all right so that's h

all of the examples that really make the lesson  understandable it's not the explanation about  

u get it it's   all of the examples that real make the lesson  understandable it's not the

the grammar it's the understanding that  naturally develops from all the examples  

anation about   the grammar it's the erstanding that  naturally develops fro

thank you uh Drew could you create a private room  to teach English I would love to pay for that  

the examples   thank you uh Drew could you cre a private room  to teach English I would lo

um the the reason I don't offer like any kind  of private lessons like that is that you should  

pay for that   um the the reason I don't o r like any kind  of private lessons like that

not be learning only with me the whole point of  fluent for life is that you need to get lots of  

at you should   not be learning only with me whole point of  fluent for life is that you n

examples of native speakers so lots of different  people speaking English that's how you prepare for  

o get lots of   examples of native speakers so ts of different  people speaking English that's h

real conversations so even if you wanted to do  that like it's it's I don't recommend you learn  

u prepare for   real conversations so even i ou wanted to do  that like it's it's I don't r

that way you wouldn't I wouldn't recommend  you learning with like any like one teacher  

end you learn   that way you wouldn't I ldn't recommend  you learning with like an

all right you would get used to the sound of  their voice and not get used to the sounds of  

e one teacher   all right you would get us to the sound of  their voice and not get use

lots of different people speaking and teachers  are always they're trying to be understandable  

the sounds of   lots of different people spe ng and teachers  are always they're trying to

all right so you have to be you have to like  be listening for people that that don't care  

nderstandable   all right so you have to b ou have to like  be listening for people th

if you understand them or not all right so if you  want if if the goal is to get fluent get fluent  

at don't care   if you understand them or not a right so if you  want if if the goal is to get

for life that's what we do all right so you don't  need private lessons with me in order to do that  

nt get fluent   for life that's what we do all ht so you don't  need private lessons with me i

uh let's see that's what happens to me some  vocabulary but no fluency yep so most people  

er to do that   uh let's see that's what pens to me some  vocabulary but no fluency

are fluent in some words but not fluent in others  and that's because you get fluent word by word you  

o most people   are fluent in some words but no luent in others  and that's because you get fluen

don't get fluent in the whole language you get  fluent some words you can use well because you  

d by word you   don't get fluent in the whol anguage you get  fluent some words you can us

understand them well and other words you cannot  because you don't understand them very well that's  

l because you   understand them well and othe ords you cannot  because you don't understand the

it and when I say like you understand it I mean  you you like recognize how it works you can use  

y well that's   it and when I say like you un stand it I mean  you you like recognize how it

it confidently uh you're not thinking about like  you don't have any questions about it or doubts  

s you can use   it confidently uh you're not t king about like  you don't have any questions

about the vocabulary or the you know the grammar  pronunciation whatever all right uh let's see in  

it or doubts   about the vocabulary or the yo now the grammar  pronunciation whatever all rig

Chinese is Kevin it is possible to use simplified  sentence structures instead of full and complete  

let's see in   Chinese is Kevin it is possible use simplified  sentence structures instead of

sentences when communicating it's a simpler way  to interact with others yes it's also a good way  

and complete   sentences when communicating s a simpler way  to interact with others yes it
