5 things to practice every day to improve your English communication skills

(upbeat music)

- Hello everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Zdravo svima i dobro došli nazad na Engleski sa Lucy.

Today I'm going to talk to you about five things

Danas ću vam govoriti o pet stvari

that you can practise every single day

koje možete vježbati svaki dan

to improve your English.

da bi poboljšali vaš Engleski.

Learning a language is like learning

Učenje jezika je kao učenje

to play a musical instrument,

kako svirati muzički instrument,

you can't just pick up a violin

ne možeš samo uzeti violinu

and know how to play it,

i znati kako da je sviraš,

or at least I didn't when I learned the violin.

ili barem ja nisam kada sam učila da sviram violinu.

You have to practise a little bit

Moraš da vježbaš pomalo

every singe day,

svaki dan,

and over time you will improve

i vremenom ćeš se poboljšati

and become fluent.

i postati tečan.

You can't just practise loads the day before an exam

Ne možeš samo puno vježbati dan prije ispita,

and expect to be perfect at playing that violin,

i očekivati da budeš savršen u sviranju te violine,

it's exactly the same for languages.

potpuno je isto i za jezike.

The best way to learn a language is to practise

Najbolji način za učenje jezika je praksa (vježba)

a little bit every single day.

pomalo svaki dan.

And in this lesson I'm going to give you

I u ovoj lekciji ja ću vam dati

five different ways that you can incorporate English,

pet različitih načina na koje možete inkorporirati Engleski

or any other language,

ili bilo koji drugi jezik

into your daily life.

u vaš svakodnevni život.

I think that quite a few of these

Mislim da nekoliko njih

you wouldn't have heard before.

niste dosada čuli.

So let's get straight into it.

Pa, idemo pravo na to.

Number one, and ugh I am so excited to be able to mention,

Broj 1, i ah, tako sam uzbuđena da mogu spomenuti

one of my favourite things to listen to ever on my channel,

jednu od meni najdražih stvari da slušam ikada na mom kanalu,

my first piece of advice is to follow an audio soap-opera.

moj prvi savjet je da pratite audio sapunicu.

What is a soap-opera I hear you ask,

Šta je sapunica čujem da pitate,

well I shall tell you.

pa reći ću vam.

A soap-opera is a daily serial,

Sapunica je svakodnevni serijal,

or series, dealing with the daily lives

ili serija, koja se bavi svakodnevnim životima

and events of the same group of characters,

i događajima iste grupe likova,

normally in the same location.

obično na istoj lokaciji.

Most commonly they are on television.

Najčešće su oni na televiziji.

We have lots in the UK like Eastenders,

Imamo ih dosta u Engleskoj kao što su Eastenders,

Coronation Street, Emmerdale,

Coronation Street, Emmerdale,

but I'm recommending you listen to an audio one.

ali ja vam preporučujem da slušate onu koja je audio.

And there's one in particular I would like to recommend.

I postoji jedna koju bih posebno željela da preporučim.

I really, really recommend a radio soap-opera

Ja zaista, zaista preporučujem radio sapunicu

by the BBC Radio four,

sa BBC Radia 4

called The Archers.

zvanu The Archers.

The Archers.

The Archers

The Archers.

The Archers.

It's special for so many reasons,

Posebna je iz mnogo razloga,

not least because it is

ne samo zato što je

the longest running drama in history,

najduža drama u historiji,

it was started in 1950, first aired in 1951,

Započela je 1950., prvi put emitovana 1951.,

and also because I think it is absolutely perfect

a također jer mislim da je apsolutno savršena

for English learners.

za učenike Engleskog.

It follows the daily lives and dramas

Prati svakodnevne živote i drame

of a group of fictional characters

grupe izmišljenih likova

in the fictional countryside village of Ambridge.

u izmišljenom selu Ambridge.

Each episode is around 12 to 14 minutes long,

Svaka epizoda je otprilike od 12 do 14 minuta duga,

I'm not quite sure exactly how long,

Nisam sasvim sigurna tačno koliko dugo,

but it's definitely under 15 minutes.

ali je definitivno ispod 15 minuta.

It's spoken in relatively clear English,

Govori se na relativno jasnom Engleskom,

in a variety of British accents,

na različitim Britanskim akcentima,

and sometimes not British accents as well,

a ponekad ne samo na Britanskim akcentima već,

other accents.

i na drugim akcentima.

But it's fantastic because the plot summaries

Ali fantastična je zbog toga što su sažeci radnje

are posted on the BBC website.

objavljeni na internet stranici BBC-a.

I will link all of this below in the description box.

Postaviti ću linkove svega ispod u opisu videa.

And the great thing about this

I odlična stvar u ovome

is that it deals with daily happenings

je što se bavi svakodnevnim dešavanjima

which is great for your life too,

što je odlično i za vaš život,

current events, routine things,

trenutne događaje, rutinske stvari,

and you can repeat all of the parts you missed.

a možete ponavljati sve dijelove koje ste propustili.

It's on every single day apart from Saturday,

Emituje se svaki dan osim subote

they have a rest,

odmaraju,

and once a week they condense all of the week's episodes

i jednom sedmično sastave sve epizode

into one and that's called an omnibus,

u jednu, a to se naziva omnibus,

and that's around 75 minutes long.

i to je traje oko 75 minuta.

I love listening to The Archers when I go running.

Ja volim slušati The Archers kada idem trčati.

I listen to it every single day

Slušam je svaki dan

and if I miss one I always catch up.

a ako propustim jednu onda uvijek to nadoknadim.

There is no beginning and there is no finish to the series,

Nema početka a ni kraja ovoj seriji,

there aren't any seasons.

nema sezona

So it might take you a couple of episodes

Tako da će vam možda biti potrebno nekoliko epizoda

to get used to the story lines

da se naviknete na priču

and to work out who is who

i da shvatite ko je ko

and to recognise the different voices.

i da prepoznate različite glasove.

Give it five or six episodes

Dajte sebi pet ili šest epizoda

and you'll feel really included.

i osjećat' ćete se veoma uključenim.

It's wonderful because it's free to listen to,

Predivno je zato što je besplatno za slušanje,

it's beautifully produced,

prelijepo je producirano,

and there is a huge community of Archers fans.

a tu je i ogromna zajednica fanova The Archers-a

A lot of them are older,

Mnogo njih su stariji,

but a lot of them are younger too.

ali također mnogo njih su i mlađi.

And if you search hashtag The Archers on Twitter,

I ako potražite hashtag The Archers na Twitteru,

big tip here,

veliki savjet ovdje,

you'll see lots of people talking

vidjet' ćete mnogo ljudi da pričaju

and discussing the topics of the episode

i raspravljaju teme epizode

and maybe you can interact with them.

i možda i vi možete učestvovati sa njima.

So I'm going to leave the links

Ostavit' ću vam linkove

for The Archers episodes

za epizode The Archers-a

and also the plot summaries in the description box,

a također i sažetke priče u opisu videa.

and I really hope some of you take up this opportunity

i stvarno se nadam da će neki od vas iskoristiti ovu priliku

to listen to a daily English audio soap-opera.

da slušaju svakodnevnu Englesku audio sapunicu.

10 to 15 minutes every day is definitely gonna help

10 do 15 minuta svaki dan će definitivno da pomognu

your listening, it's going to help your pronunciation.

vašem slušanju, pomoći će vašem izgovoru.

It's just gonna help your general enjoyment as well

Jednostavno će pomoći i vašem uopštenom uživanju

'cause it's a great programme.

jer je odličan program.

Right, before I get too passionate,

Dobro, prije nego što postanem previše strastvena

let's move on to piece of advice number two.

pređimo na savjet broj 2.

So number two is talk daily with natives.

Pa, broj 2 je da svakodnevno pričate sa domorocima.

Now I bet so many of you are thinking

Kladim se da mnogi od vas razmišljaju

uh I wish, I would love to talk to natives every day,

ah, da barem, voljela bih da pričam sa damorocem svaki dan,

but I don't know how

ali ne znam kako

and no one seems to want to talk to me.

i izgleda da niko ne želi sa mnom da priča.

Well I have a couple of suggestions.

Pa, ja imam nekoliko sugestija.

One is paid for and one is free,

Jedna je ona za koju se plaća a druga je besplatna,

and the best thing, in my opinion,

a najbolja stvar, po mom mišljenju,

would be a combination of the two.

bi bila kombinacija ove dvije.

Italki have very kindly sponsored this part of the video

italki je veoma ljubazno sponzorisao ovaj dio videa

and mentioning them is absolutely relevant for this point,

i njihovo spominjanje je od apsolutnog značaja za ovu tačku,

especially as they offer

pogotovo jer nude

a language exchange partner service,

službu za razmjenu jezika

which I will mention in a second.

koju ću pomenuti za sekundu.

But firstly, if you haven't heard of italki before,

Ali prvo, ako niste prije čuli za italki,

they are an online language teacher platform and database.

oni su onlajn platforma učitelja jezika i baza podataka.

Both native and non-native teachers

Domaći, ali i ne domaći učitelji

from across the globe can create a profile,

iz cijelog svijeta mogu napraviti profile,

upload their schedules

objaviti njihove rasporede,

and then you contact them for lessons.

a onda ih vi možete kontaktirati za lekcije.

Brilliantly priced lessons may I add.

Lekcije koje su brilijantno ocijenjene za plaćanje, ako mogu dodati.

You can learn over 100 different languages,

Možete naučiti preko 100 različitih jezika

not just English, 24 hours a day, seven days a week

ne samo Engleski, 24 sata na dan, sedam dana u sedmici

from anywhere in the world,

od bilo gdje na svijetu,

as long as you have a stable internet connection.

sve dok imate stabilnu internet konekciju.

It's so much more affordable

Mnogo je više pristupačna

than a traditional language school

nego tradicionalna škola jezika

or an in-person language teacher.

ili lični učitelj jezika

I tried out italki to learn a little bit of Indonesian

Isprobala sam italki da naučim malo Indonezijskog

before my holiday to Barley

prije mog odmora u Barley - u

and I was blown away by my teacher, she was amazing.

i bila sam oduševljena mojom učiteljicom, bila je odlična.

She had created these beautiful classes from scratch

Kreirala je predivne časove od nule

and I learned so much with her

i mnogo sam toga naučila sa njom

and it really, really improved my holiday,

i to je stvarno, stvarno poboljšalo moj odmor,

especially as she taught me to say

posebno jer me naučila da kažem

(foreign language).

(strani jezik)

So important.

Tako bitno.

Italki have given me a special offer to pass on to you.

italki mi je dao specijalnu ponudu da je prenesem na vas

You can get $10 worth of italki credits for free

Možete dobiti $10 itlaki kredita besplatno

when you sign up and make your first lesson purchase.

kada se prijavite i kupite vašu prvu lekciju.

All you have to do is click on the link

Sve što trebate uraditi je kliknuti na link

in the description box.

u opisu videa.

Now obviously having a paid for lesson

Sada, očigledno imati plaćenu lekciju

with a teacher every single day

sa učiteljem svaki dan

would be the most amazing way

bio bio najbolji način

to learn a language,

za učenje jezika,

but that's not a possibility for everyone.

ali to nije mogućnost za sve.

So I did just want to mention italki's

Tako da sam htjela da spomenem i italki-jev

language exchange partner programme.

program za razmjenu jezika.

The link to this is also in the description box.

Link za ovo je također u opisu videa.

Basically you can search for

U osnovi, možete tražiti

speakers of the language you are learning,

govornike jezika koji učite,

see if they want to learn your language,

vidjeti da li oni žele da nauče vaš jezik,

and if so you can contact them

i ako je to tako možete ih kontaktirati

and potentially arrange a language exchange.

i potencijalno ugovoriti razmjenu jezika.

So a combination of both paid for classes

Tako da bi kombinacija oba, plaćenih časova

and language exchanges would be amazing

i razmjene jezika bila nevjerovatna.

because you can take what you learned

jer možete ono što ste naučili

and heard in the language exchange

i čuli u razmjeni jezika

and verify it with your teacher

provjeriti sa svojim učiteljem.

for an extra layer of security

za dodatni sloj sigurnosti.

to make sure that you're not making any mistakes.

da se uvjerite da ne pravite nikakve greške.

Now on to tip number three.

Sada, na savjet broj 3

Set yourself a daily word goal.

Postavite sebi dnevni cilj riječi.

Learn x amount of words every single day.

Naučite x količinu riječi svaki dan.

This tip is really important because it also links

Ovaj savjet je veoma važan jer je povezan sa savjetom broj 4.

to tip number four.

Na savjet broj 4.

I have mentioned this strategy in a previous video,

Spomenula sam ovu strategiju u prethodnom videu,

but I actually have a really important extra layer

ali ja ustvari imam veoma važan dodatni sloj

to this strategy that I would like to discuss with you.

ove strategije o kojoj bih željela da sa vama diskutujem.

In order to build your vocabulary quickly,

Da bi izgradili vaš vokabular brzo,

you need to learn at least one new word per day,

morate naučiti barem jednu novu riječ po danu,

but hopefully more than that.

ali nadam se više od toga.

I've spoken to you before about keeping a word diary

Pričala sam sa vama prije o vođenju dnevnika riječi

or just a notebook or a list on your phone,

samo sveske ili liste na vašem telefonu.

keep it with you all the time

Čuvajte je stalno sa sobom.

and always be aware wherever you are,

i uvijek budite svjesni gdje god da ste,

do I know that word in English?

da li ja znam tu riječ na Engleskom?

Do I know how to say that in English?

Da li znam kako to reći na Engleskom?

You might see a tree,

Možda vidite drvo,

do I know how to say that specific

da li znam kako da kažem tu specifičnu

variety of tree in English?

raznolikost drveta na Engleskom?

If you don't write it down in your own language

Ako ne, zapište to na vašem jeziku

in this book, in this list,

u tu knjigu, u listu,

and then at the end of the day,

a onda na kraju dana

before you go to sleep,

prije nego što krenete spavati

research all of these words

istražite sve te riječi.

and translate them into English.

i prevedite ih na Engleski.

It will help you train your brain

Pomoći će vam da trenirate vaš mozak

to always be hungry for English.

da bude uvijek gladan Engleskog.

After a few weeks you will always

Nakon nekoliko sedmica uvijek ćete

be looking for new words that you can learn,

tražiti nove riječi koje možete naučiti,

words that you didn't even realise

riječi za koje niste uopšte shvatili

you didn't know.

da ne znate.

Now there is something else that you can do with these words

Sada, tu je i nešto drugo što možete uraditi sa ovim riječima.

and this brings me on to point number four.

I ovo me dovodi na tačku broj 4.

Write a daily journal with a difference.

Pisati svakodnevni dnevnik sa razlikom.

Depending on your level,

Ovisno o vašem stepenu,

I would buy a paper journal or diary.

Ja bih kupila papirni dnevnik.

I get so tired in the evening I can't spend

Postanem tako umorna naveče da ne mogu provesti

loads and loads of time writing,

mnogo i mnogo vremena pisajući,

so I personally would buy a work week planner

tako da bih lično kupila planer radne sedmice

or a homework planner or a study planner

planer za zadaču ili planer za učenje.

where you've got all seven days across two pages.

Gdje imate svih 7 dana preko dvije stranice.

In each of those days I would write three

U svakom od tih dana ja bih napisala 3

or four sentences about my day

ili 4 rečenice o mom danu

trying to incorporate those words that I learned

pokušavajući da inkorporiram te riječi koje sam naučila

in my daily word list,

u mojoj dnevnoj listi,

the words I mentioned in point three.

riječi koje sam spomenula u tački 3.

That way, not only are you learning the new words

Na taj način, ne samo da ćete naučiti nove riječi

and learning what they mean,

i naučiti šta one znače,

you're making sure they're fully integrated into your brain.

ali ćete se uvjeriti da su one potpuno integrisane u vaš mozak.

And also doing this before you go to sleep

A također, ako ovo budete radili prije nego krenete spavati,

will mean they stick in there even more.

to znači da će se one zadržati unutra još više.

Then you can wake up in the morning,

Onda se možete probuditi ujutro,

read what you wrote the night before,

pročitati šta ste napisali noć prije,

and you've got those words fresh in your head,

i onda imate te riječi svježe u vašoj glavi,

ready for the day ahead.

spremne za dan ispred vas.

It's honestly such a fabulous technique

Iskreno, to je tako fantastična tehnika,

because it builds your vocabulary,

jer gradi vaš vokabular,

it improves your writing skills,

poboljšava vaše vještine pisanja,

it improves your reading skills,

poboljšava vaše vještine čitanja

if you search the pronunciation of the word

Ako potražite izgovor riječi

it will improve your pronunciation

poboljšati će vaš izgovor.

and your listening skills,

i vaše vještine slušanja

and if you book in sessions with language teachers

i ako rezervišete vaše sjednice sa učiteljima jezika

you can have them correct you writing.

mogu vam ispraviti vaš zapis

So every week you can bring them two fresh pages of writing

Tako da im svake sedmice možete donijeti dvije nove stranice onog što ste pisali

for them to correct.

da vam ih isprave.

Honestly, if you do this every day

Iskreno, ako ovo uradite svaki dan

it will help you so much.

mnogo će vam pomoći.

Right, time for the last point.

Dobro, vrijeme je za zadnju tačku.

Point number five,

Tačka broj 5.

the tip is to perform daily translations

Ovaj savjet je da dnevno izvodite prijevode

of subjects you are interested in.

tema koje vas zanimaju.

Now I now a lot of you want to stop translating

Sada, ja znam da mnogi od vas žele da prestanu prevoditi

and think in English,

i razmišljaju na Engleskom,

however, I think translation forms

međutim, ja mislim da su forme prevođenja

a very, very important part of language learning,

veome, veoma važan dio učenja jezika,

especially when it's around something

posebno ako je oko nečega

that you are interested in.

oko čega ste zainteresovani.

It's really, really good to compare

Veoma je, veoma dobro da uporedite

how things are said in different languages

kako se stvari govore na različitim jezicima

and translation helps you with that.

i prijevodi vam pomažu u tome.

In my opinion, the best way to practise your translation

Po mom mišljenju, najbolji način za praksu je prijevod

is absolutely free, which is fantastic,

apsolutno je besplatno, što je fantastično,

and it's right here on YouTube.

i to je ovdje na YouTube-u.

Pick the YouTubers that you really, really like,

Odaberite YouTube-ere koje veoma, veoma volite

the YouTubers that talk about

YouTube-ere koji pričaju

subjects that you're interested in.

o temama za koje ste zainteresovani

Maybe it's photography,

Možda je to fotografisanje,

maybe it's technology,

možda tehnologija,

maybe it's pets,

možda kućni ljubimci,

maybe it's makeup.

a možda je to šminka.

You can actually contribute to subtitle translations.

Zapravo možete doprinijeti prijevodu titlova.

You may have seen that underneath all of my videos

Možda ste vidjeli da ispod svih mojih videa

I have a link where I give the opportunity

ja imam link gdje dajem mogućnost

to contribute subtitle translations.

da doprinesete prijevodu titlova.

So I write the subtitles in English

Ja napišem titlove na Engleskom

and then you can write them in your own language.

a onda ih vi možete napisati na vašem jeziku.

It's amazing because it helps my videos reach

Nevjerovatno je zato što to pomaže da moji videi dosegnu

and help a wider audience.

i pomognu široj publici.

They also get their name displayed under the video

Oni također dobiju svoje ime prikazano ispod videa

which is really, really cool.

što je veoma, veoma kul.

And it helps their translating skills.

A to pomaže njihovim vještinama prevođenja.

You can translate videos from

Možete prevoditi videe sa

your native language into English,

vašeg domaćeg jezika na Engleski

that would be a really good way to practise.

i to bi bio veoma dobar način za praksu.

But even translating English subtitles

Ali i samo prevođenje Engleskih titlova

into your own native language

na vaš domaći jezik

is a really good reading and translation exercise.

je veoma dobra vježba za čitanje i prevođenje.

I will post a link with more information

Postaviti ću link sa više informacija

on community subtitle translations in the description box.

za prijevod titlova u zajednici, u opisu videa

Right, I have discussed all five points.

Dobro, govorila sam o svakoj od 5 tačaka

I really hope you learned something.

Stvarno se nadam da ste nešto naučili.

I really hope you try out one of my five recommendations.

Stvarno se nadam da ćete pokušati jednu od pet mojih preporuka.

Don't forget to check out italki,

Ne zaboravite provjeriti italki,
