flies even higher and higher and welcomes the challenge. You should begin
1
5279
4641
00:09
by low-pressure situations. Now, what I mean by low-pressure situations? This
2
9920
3879
00:13
mirror acts as your mind and whenever you learn something new. Hello, my
3
13799
4921
00:18
brothers and sisters! A warm welcome to this channel! In many of my videos, I have
4
18720
4879
00:23
observed that people ask me: When will I start speaking English or how long will
5
23599
5840
00:29
it take to learn English? In fact, this is the fundamental question which every
6
29439
5601
00:35
learner asks their tutor or guide whenever they start to learn this
7
35040
3960
00:39
language. But what is the correct answer to this question? That is what I'm going
8
39000
4480
00:43
to reveal to you in this video. So, stay tuned to this video. Because you're going to
9
43480
4360
00:47
get the answer to this question. So, let's start without a hitch. Let me start with
10
47840
5879
00:53
a story.
11
53719
781
00:55
Once, there was an old man, and as
12
55493
2546
00:58
usual he was working in his field and then
13
58039
2961
01:01
suddenly, a young man approached him and then he asked the old man: How long will
14
61000
7920
01:08
it take to reach Amritsar railway station from here.
15
68920
2934
01:11
How long will it take to reach Amritsar railway station from here.
16
71854
3844
01:15
The old man did not reply. The young man repeated his question but the
17
75698
4822
01:20
old man did not reply this time also. Now, the young man got angry, and he told the
18
80520
6279
01:26
old man, "Are you deaf?"
19
86799
5219
01:32
This time also the old man did not respond. Now, the man thought, "There is no
20
92901
5858
01:38
use in wasting time over here," and then he started running towards
21
98759
4561
01:43
his destination which is Amritsar railway station. After some time, another young
22
103320
5640
01:48
man approached the farmer and asked the same question. But the old man did not reply
23
108960
6360
01:55
this time also. This man also repeated this question but the old man did not
24
115320
4920
02:00
reply. Now, this man also called The Old Man deaf and then he also continued his
25
120240
5320
02:05
journey. But this man was walking happily looking around at
26
125560
7600
02:13
nature and many more things. But he was walking. The old man observed them
27
133160
5640
02:18
for a while and then he beckoned both the men and then he told the first young
28
138800
7000
02:25
man that you will take one hour to reach Amritsar railway station and then he told
29
145800
8600
02:34
the second young man you will take 3 hours to reach Amritsar railway
30
154400
6040
02:40
station. Hearing this, the young men were surprised that what kind of old man is
31
160440
5879
02:46
this when I asked him earlier he did not reply, and now he is answering my
32
166319
4401
02:50
question and out of curiosity the men asked the old man why didn't you reply
33
170720
5480
02:56
my question earlier. The old man smiled and told the men that I did not see your
34
176200
7360
03:03
pace and your pace is really important. It all depends on your pace. It
35
183560
8360
03:11
all depends on your pace and hearing this the young men continued the journey.
36
191920
6319
03:18
And as predicted the first young man reached Amit railway station before time,
37
198239
6321
03:24
and as he was early for his train, he waited at the railway station and then
38
204560
5560
03:30
got on the train and went to his desired destination. But the second young
39
210120
6759
03:36
man missed his train, and he had to wait for another train. So, my brothers and
40
216879
7241
03:44
sisters, what do we understand from the story? Both the men had the same goal.
41
224120
6119
03:50
Both the men had the same starting point. But just because their pace was
42
230239
5720
03:55
different, they got different results. Similarly in this journey of learning
43
235959
6325
04:02
English. In this journey of learning English, there are many people. Some are
44
242284
5076
04:07
just waiting that yes I will start. When? When? How? Yes, I will start. Some are just
45
247360
6640
04:14
waiting. They've not even started the journey whereas some are walking. They're
46
254000
4479
04:18
just loitering around and walking whereas some are jogging. Some are
47
258479
4761
04:23
running and some are running even faster. So, my brothers and sisters, it all
48
263240
6720
04:29
depends on your pace. Some people say that you will start speaking English
49
269960
6040
04:36
within 1 month, within 2 months. But what they really do is that they just fix some
50
276000
4840
04:40
interval of time and they say that you will start speaking English within this
51
280840
4359
04:45
particular interval of time. But no, my brothers and sisters, this is wrong.
52
285199
5201
04:56
But no, all this is a fake guarantee. It's not a real guarantee. It's
53
296447
5353
05:01
a fake guarantee because they don't know your face then how can they assure you
54
301800
4320
05:06
that you will start speaking English within this interval of time, that
55
306120
2919
05:09
interval of time, and so on. They can't assure you because they don't know your
56
309039
4281
05:13
pace. They don't know your speed of learning then how can they assure you.
57
313320
4680
05:18
You can assure yourself because you know your pace of learning. But they cannot
58
318000
5120
05:23
assure you. Isn't it? Yes, I can tell you the way, but I can't tell you how long it
59
323120
7480
05:30
takes to reach it. Because I don't know your pace. It all depends on your pace.
60
330600
4520
05:35
And what is your pace? That's your speed of learning. I can tell you one thing. If
61
335120
5160
05:40
you're not procrastinating and you're serious about learning English or
62
340280
3160
05:43
practicing it every day then the day won't be far when you'll start speaking
63
343440
5039
05:48
English. On the other hand, if you're a procrastinator and you're just
64
348479
4160
05:52
procrastinating things around that yes I'll learn English tomorrow, next week,
65
352639
5560
05:58
next month like that then you may take a little time to learn English. So,
66
358199
5801
06:04
my brothers and sisters, now the question arises. What is the fastest way to learn
67
364000
5599
06:09
English? Now, what is the fastest way to learn English? The fastest way to learn
68
369599
4961
06:14
English we need to know the a b c d e of English. Now, don't worry. I'm not going
69
374560
7000
06:21
to teach you a for apple, b for ball, and so on. No, what I mean by ABCD of English
70
381560
6359
06:27
is that here A stands for Approachable. B stands for Bindas. C is nothing but
71
387919
6680
06:34
Consistent, and D stands for Determined whereas E stands for Effective strategy.
72
394599
8481
06:43
Now, what do I mean by Approachable, Bindad, Consistent, Determined, and
73
403080
5720
06:48
Effective strategy. Let me tell you. A stands for Approachable. Now, what I mean
74
408800
6119
06:54
by approachable English is that English should be accessible and simple. It
75
414919
6680
07:01
should be accessible and simple. It means that you should create the environment,
76
421599
7040
07:08
resources, and learning methods that encourage you to engage confidently in
77
428639
5761
07:14
the language.
78
434400
1308
07:15
Gone are the days.
79
435708
4132
07:23
Now, we are living in the 21st century and there are many multimedia
80
443138
4901
07:28
resources available like audio recordings, videos, podcasts, audiobooks,
81
448039
6160
07:34
interactive apps, and story books, and you can utilize all these multimedia
82
454199
6280
07:40
resources to learn English. You can choose them according to your preference.
83
460479
4881
07:45
But you should listen in English or read in English. You can use all these
84
465360
6040
07:51
multimedia resources. The mistakes that we are making while learning this language
85
471400
5160
07:56
is that whenever somebody says that you should watch movies to learn English
86
476560
5520
08:02
then what do we do? We just start watching movies. But the problem is that
87
482080
5360
08:07
we start watching movies which are of a very advanced level and of such an
88
487440
5120
08:12
advanced level that we cannot even understand what the movie is trying to
89
492560
3479
08:16
convey to us. You're not able to understand. But no, my brothers and
90
496039
4361
08:20
sisters, this is wrong, and sometimes people also say that you should
91
500400
4519
08:24
read novels then what are we doing? We are reading novels whose vocabulary
92
504919
4960
08:29
words are so much hi-fi that we're not even able to understand what the novel is
93
509879
4361
08:34
trying to convey to us. This is also wrong. Instead, if you watch a simple
94
514240
5440
08:39
story book or a cartoon which is of your level and you're able to connect with it
95
519680
6560
08:46
you should be able to connect with it then that's way more better than
96
526240
3719
08:49
watching any movie or reading any novel which is not of your level, which is of a
97
529959
5281
08:55
very advanced level that is of no use. So, that's what I mean by English should be
98
535240
6839
09:02
accessible. Now, approachable English means that you should be able to connect
99
542079
4361
09:06
with it. Now, I hope all of you remember that B stands for Bindas. You should be
100
546440
6320
09:12
Bindas. You should be bold.
101
552760
2727
09:27
If people don't understand you, then repeat it. But don't quit. Now, you will
102
567435
5685
09:33
say, "I can't learn English. English is a foreign language. English is hard to
103
573120
3520
09:36
learn." But no, my brothers and sisters, this self-doubt should be replaced by
104
576640
5720
09:42
knockout. Knock out your fear, anxiety, agitation, and English trauma. Just knock
105
582360
5120
09:47
out them. That's what I mean by Bindas or I would say bold. You should be bold. It's
106
587480
5400
09:52
okay to stumble occasionally. Now, you will say, "Havisha is saying it's easy but
107
592880
4600
09:57
this girl is saying it's difficult."
108
597480
3640
10:01
But no, my brothers and sisters, it's easy. You should begin by low pressure
109
601839
5120
10:06
situations. Now what I mean by low pressure situations. I don't mean that
110
606959
3560
10:10
some pressure cooker or air pressure. What I mean by low-pressure situations
111
610519
4241
10:14
mean situation means talk to people who are supportive and understanding. But
112
614760
4920
10:19
talking to whom you won't have much pressure so that you will speak for
113
619680
5880
10:25
self-expression, not for impression, and then increase the complexity and
114
625560
7600
10:33
duration as you get comfortable. So, that's what I mean by begin with low
115
633160
7080
10:40
pressure situations. So, my brothers and sisters,
116
640240
3960
10:44
now I would like to share something with you. Do you know that an eagle enjoys
117
644200
5840
10:50
when the storm clouds gather? All the birds hide in their nest but the eagle
118
650040
6359
10:56
enjoys the most. Whenever the strong winds blow, the eagle flies even higher
119
656399
4841
11:01
and higher and welcomes the challenge which the storm clouds bring. Similarly,
120
661240
6920
11:08
by learning this language, we should also have only one mindset which is to find
121
668160
5000
11:13
the possibilities in the problems and opportunities in the challenges.
122
673160
6273
11:19
Once, Napoleon Hill said, "Every great challenge brings a great option."
123
679433
7247
11:26
That's what Napoleon Hills wants to convey to us. For example, if you're going
124
686680
6279
11:32
to a very nice hotel, and there, the waiter asks you something in English and
125
692959
6440
11:39
you have to converse in English, that's a great challenge for you. But it also
126
699399
5641
11:45
brings a great option or I would say a great opportunity for you. Why? Because
127
705040
5720
11:50
you can improve your English skills by talking to the waiter in English. Isn't it?
128
710760
6065
11:56
So, now that's all what I mean by Bindas. After Bindas, now we'll
129
716825
6615
12:03
learn what I mean by consistency. C stands for Consistency. We all know the
130
723440
6160
12:09
story of the tortoise and the rabbit. The rabbit was resting in the middle of the race.
131
729600
6799
12:16
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait! I'm not going to narrate that story over here. The crux
132
736399
5800
12:22
of that story is that whenever you have an extremely important task to do then
133
742199
6361
12:28
you should not get sidetracked. What I understood from this story is that
134
748560
7639
12:36
whenever you want your dreams to come true, then you should not take a nap
135
756199
4921
12:41
before accomplishing your dream. You should not take a nap before
136
761120
5000
12:46
accomplishing this dream of learning English. And always remember. Don't sleep
137
766120
5839
12:51
in the middle of your journey. So, that's what I mean by consistent, and to begin is
138
771959
6240
12:58
easy but to persist is an art. Similarly, while learning English in the beginning, you
139
778199
7080
13:05
may be very very enthusiastic, but in the middle of the journey, you might get
140
785279
5841
13:11
bored. Why? Because you're not able to persist in learning English. That should not
141
791120
5560
13:16
happen. We should all learn the art of persistence. Always remember, consistency
142
796680
7399
13:24
is the key to build language skills effectively. You can only dominate a
143
804079
5440
13:29
language when the words in it become a part of your active vocabulary. What I
144
809519
4680
13:34
mean by consistency is nothing more than you should speak English every day. You
145
814199
4640
13:38
must have an English schedule which um focuses on your weaknesses like suppose
146
818839
4800
13:43
you have made a list of your strengths and weaknesses then your English
147
823639
3961
13:47
schedule should focus on your weaknesses. That's what I mean by consistency in
148
827600
6400
13:54
learning English. Now, let's understand the D of English. D stands for
149
834000
5759
13:59
determination. Determination is very important. Determination is essential for
150
839759
4041
14:03
learning English. You should be determined. Wait, wait, wait! I'm not going
151
843800
3839
14:07
to talk about all that stuff here because we all know about the importance
152
847639
4841
14:12
of determination. What I want to share with you is what I've learned from my
153
852480
5440
14:17
parents is that whenever the fire is outside then it can easily be
154
857920
7080
14:25
extinguished. But if the fire is inside then it cannot be easily extinguished.
155
865000
7720
14:32
Similarly, determination is the fuel for motivation and this fire of motivation
156
872720
6600
14:39
should be from inside, not outside. If you're motivated by your friend to
157
879320
4959
14:44
learn English, it means that your fire, or I would say your desire to learn English
158
884279
4881
14:49
is from outside, and it can easily be extinguished. But if your fire to learn
159
889160
7119
14:56
English or I would say the desire to learn English is from the inside, it is your
160
896279
5201
15:01
decision then it cannot be easily extinguished even if a friend says, "Hey,
161
901480
5279
15:06
why are you learning this language? It's a foreign language. There is still time.
162
906759
4161
15:10
Leave it," then also you won't stop learning English because the desire is
163
910920
4760
15:15
from inside and determination is the fuel for motivation. You should be
164
915680
4760
15:20
determined so that you will get the fire of motivation from the inside. So, let's light
165
920440
7480
15:27
the fire from inside to learn English and not from outside. No matter what
166
927920
5159
15:33
comes in our way, we should light this fire of learning English from the inside
167
933079
5320
15:38
and not from the outside. Now, let's learn the E of English, not e for egg or
168
938399
6521
15:44
something or an elephant. No, I'm going to tell you, what do I mean by effective
169
944920
6440
15:51
strategy? Now, effective strategy entails review and reflect. Now what do I mean by
170

review and reflect? It means that uh let's make a two-way
171
957880
4240
16:02
process. This is a two-way process. Review and reflect. Suppose you have learned
172
962120
4880
16:07
five vocabulary phrases. You have made a target of learning five vocabulary
173
967000
4519
16:11
phrases per day. You have made a target. But now you need to review at the end of
174
971519
7081
16:18
the day. You need to check that did you do it or not? Did you do it or not? That's
175
978600
7400
16:26
how you can review your progress. You should periodically review and
176
986000
4240
16:30
celebrate your progress on the way. Suppose you've done your target of
177
990240
5440
16:35
completing five vocabulary phrases per day for a month, then you can celebrate
178
995680
4599
16:40
it by eating something really very special or drinking something which you
179
1000279
6521
16:46
like or something like that. You should celebrate your progress. After reviewing,
180
1006800
3880
16:50
the second step is to reflect it. But how? I hope all of you know that whenever
181
1010680
6240
16:56
light falls on a mirror then the mirror reflects it back. Similarly, this mirror
182
1016920
6719
17:03
acts as your mind, and whenever you learn something new related to English or
183
1023639
4601
17:08
anything, then you must use it somehow. It means that you must reflect it somehow.
184
1028240
5880
17:14
If there are no situations then create some situations. If suppose you're
185
1034120
4400
17:18
talking to a friend and you want to use one idiom then you should create the
186
1038520
4439
17:22
background so that you can use that idiom. That's how you should reflect
187
1042959
5080
17:28
whatever you learn as I've already mentioned that you have taken a target
188
1048039
4880
17:32
of learning five vocabulary phrases every day. Now, at the end of a week,
189
1052919
7880
17:40
you want to reflect those vocabulary phrases. It means that you must recall
190
1060799
4921
17:45
those vocabulary phrases and if you're able to recall them and you're able to
191
1065720
3839
17:49
use them, it means that they have retained in your mind. But if you're not
192
1069559
4201
17:53
able to recall them, it means that they have not retained in your mind and you
193
1073760
3600
17:57
need to go back and revise them. That's how you can reflect whatever you
194
1077360
5080
18:02
learn you must identify areas of improvement. Adjust your learning
195
1082440
5160
18:07
strategies as needed. Celebrate your success. That's how you can use an
196
1087600
8120
18:15
effective strategy. To use an effective strategy you also need to set clear
197
1095720
5800
18:21
goals. It means that you must have an English smart goal and you also must
198
1101520
6200
18:27
identify your strengths and weaknesses and your English smart goal must focus
199
1107720
4959
18:32
on your weaknesses and be honest to yourself most importantly. And I've also
200
1112679
5401
18:38
emphasized this English smart goal in one of my previous videos, and the link
201
1118080
4200
18:42
is in the description box. So that's how you should set clear goals. So, this is
202
1122280
7759
18:50
the a b c d e of English. Now, the ball is in your court. Use it or lose it.
