The BEST way to improve your ENGLISH SIGNIFICANTLY

Hey guys! Thanks for joining us for

another video. If you’re new here then welcome! I’m Anna.

In this video I’m going to share with you one thing that

can improve your English significantly and that

unfortunately people don’t use that often.

Drums

It’s writing!

And before you say or think anything: like “That’s not a trick.

It takes time and work” or “I don’t think it’s going to help in

any way.”, or “It’s too hard cuz I don’t know grammar”. Before

you reject this – hear me

out and try it. Just for the heck of it. What do you have to lose?

First, remember that

everything that I’m sharing on this channel

is based on my personal experience.

And I really want that this information reaches people

that really need it, understand it,

are going to use it and benefit from it.

And of course I’ll tell you where to start, how to

incorporate it into your daily routine and how to

progress with it incrementally.

Now why writing? Because as it turns out

it’s a very powerful tool. Think about this,

when you write you actually have time to think about

grammar and the best, most

appropriate wording. You can pick out different

synonyms for the words you want to use. Therefore, learn

some new vocabulary. It gives your brain the

opportunity to get used to thinking in English and

using English. In addition,

it will help you with the appropriate use and understanding

of grammar, but not without your

effort and research of course. And if you want to say

that you have no one to ask how to say something right

or how to use grammar rules. I’ll tell you right away

that it’s super crucial that you try to get the hang of

it by yourself. The reason being that it’s

going to force your brain to understand and memorize it better.

You can use such free websites like Spell Checker,

the link will be down below, to check your grammar.

And also google things you need.

Like literally

on the team or in the team

well because prepositions are confusing

or

a slang word for lazy

We’re not couch potatoes, right? We can do research.

There are so many websites where people answer

these questions. And oftentimes people are not sure,

puzzled by how to learn tenses

how to start, what to start with. Well

the best way to learn something is by using it.

That’s why my first suggestion is that you

start with journaling. That means

that in the evening you are going to document

what you did that day, what happened,

what was good, what was bad, what you would

change, what you would improve. That’s an amazing way

to learn vocabulary that is useful for you,

and that you use in real life. Past tenses,

because you’re going describe what happened in the

past and conditionals because you will think of

different scenarios and possibilities.

And let’s be real. We don’t sit every day

learning grammar and doing some

exercises. Nobody does this. That’s why

it’s such a neat and substantial way to improve your English.

Then write about your future plans. Like

what is your plan for tomorrow?

And then dream a little bit, like what would you like

to happen to you for example. Don’t be shy

and don’t restrict yourself, cuz nobody is going to read it

except for you. And don’t worry too much about making

mistakes. That’s how we learn – by

making mistakes and fixing them. Every time you ask

yourself how to write or say something, search

for that information, make an effort to think in

English, you’re channeling your brain

towards development and better memorization

and comprehension of English. Moreover if

you’re brave enough to explore your creativity you can

write some short stories. It can be about something real

or it can be a total fiction – a product of your imagination.

And dare to dream and

write about how you envision your life

or future events. Write about what would

happen if you met a woman or man of your

dreams for example and what would you talk about with them,

what would say about yourself?

And mark my word you’ll thank me for this, because chances are that you are

going to have to talk about yourself anyway. Or

imagine that you have a job interview.

Google possible questions and answer them in written form.

I bet that you greatly underestimate writing.

Additionally if you write by hand it somehow

activates your brain even more. But you can

type of course. I personally prefer typing.

If you get used to expressing your thoughts, feelings,

ideas and goals on paper

it’ll help you to communicate with clarity.

Apart from vocabulary and grammar you’ll learn

a lot about yourself, since there are so many

psychological benefits of writing.

For example it helps to clear your mind,

recover memories and put

your life into perspective. And it

inevitably improves your verbal communication as you

become more picky in choosing the right words.

just one little

little tiny thing

you have do this.

At least try. Only you can do this, nobody else

can write instead of you. So what I currently do besides

my creative writing is I actually keep

a journal. And before going to bed I think

and write down what I’m grateful for. I

write about my feelings and then I analyze why I

felt that way. And if something negative happened

how I can avoid that in the future. What can help me cope

with different situations.

I write down my goals, ideas and dreams.

And I try to come up with the action plan to achieve those goals.

To be honest it’s very therapeutic.

One last thing - it’s not the same as reading.

Reading is a fundamental part of the learning process.

When you read you get a lot of knowledge

and useful information. But when you’re

reading you're reading someone else’s already structured

thoughts. And when you’re writing

you’re coming up with your own unique thoughts

and you’re putting them on paper in your own unique way.

You can’t substitute one with another.

Why am I telling you this? Cuz I’ve been writing

and practicing this for quite some time now.

And I thought that my like-minded folks –

my tribe, will find

this suggestion useful and worth trying.

And BTW texting with your friends in English and commenting on our

videos in English counts as well So don’t forget to comment.
