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 ponovo na kanal Engleski sa Lusi

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

Danas ću da vam govorim o pet stvari

that you can practise every single day

koje možete vežbati svaki dan

to improve your English.

kako biste popravili svoj Engleski

Learning a language is like learning

Učenje jezika je kao učenje

to play a musical instrument,

da svirate muzički instrument

you can't just pick up a violin

vi ne možete uzeti violinu

and know how to play it,

i znati da je svirate

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

ili u najmanju ruku ja nisam mogla kada sam ja učila da sviram violinu

You have to practise a little bit

vi morate da vežbate po malo

every singe day,

svakoga dana

and over time you will improve

i tokom vremena ćete usavršiti

and become fluent.

i govorićete tečno

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

vi zapravo ne možete vežbati puno dan pred ispit

and expect to be perfect at playing that violin,

i očekivati da budete savršeni u sviranju te violine.

it's exactly the same for languages.

upravo je tako i sa jezicima

The best way to learn a language is to practise

Najbolji način da učite jezik, jeste da vežbate

a little bit every single day.

pomalo svakog dana

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 različih načina kako da uključite Engleski,

or any other language,

ili bilo koji drugi jezik,

into your daily life.

u vaš dnevni život.

I think that quite a few of these

ja mislim da dosta od ovoga

you wouldn't have heard before.

vi niste čuli pre

So let's get straight into it.

Pa, hajde da krenemo.

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

Broj jedan, i uh, ja sam tako uzbuđena što sam u prilici da pomenem,

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

jedna od mojih omiljenih stvari da slušam zauvek na mom kanalu

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

moj prvi savet je da pratite audio serijal

What is a soap-opera I hear you ask,

Šta je soap-opera, čujem da pitate

well I shall tell you.

dobro, ja ću vam reći.

A soap-opera is a daily serial,

Soap-opera je serijal na dnevnoj bazi

or series, dealing with the daily lives

ili serija, koja se bavi dnevnim životima

and events of the same group of characters,

i događajima iste grupe likova,

normally in the same location.

uglavnom na istoj lokaciji

Most commonly they are on television.

Najčešće su oni na televiziji

We have lots in the UK like Eastenders,

Mi ih imamo puno u UK kao što su Eastenders-i,

Coronation Street, Emmerdale,

Coronation Street, Emmerdale,

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

ali ja vam preporučujem da slušate audio

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

I ima jedan poseban koji bih želela da preporučim

I really, really recommend a radio soap-opera

ja zaista, zaista preporučujem radio serijal

by the BBC Radio four,

koju emituje BBC radio četiri,

called The Archers.

nazvan The Archers.

The Archers.

The Archers,

The Archers.

The Archers,

It's special for so many reasons,

Posebno je iz mnogo razloga,

not least because it is

ne samo što je to

the longest running drama in history,

najduža drama po trajanju u istoriji,

it was started in 1950, first aired in 1951,

ona je započeta 1950, prvi put emitovana 1951,

and also because I think it is absolutely perfect

i takođe zato što ja mislim da je savršena

for English learners.

za one koji uče engleski.

It follows the daily lives and dramas

prati živote na dnevnom nivou i drame

of a group of fictional characters

grupe izmišljenih likova

in the fictional countryside village of Ambridge.

u izmišljenom selu u unutrašnjosti Ambridge.

Each episode is around 12 to 14 minutes long,

Svaka epizoda je duga 12 do 14 minuta.

I'm not quite sure exactly how long,

Ja nisam sasvim sigurana koliko dugo

but it's definitely under 15 minutes.

ali definitivno je ispod 15 minuta

It's spoken in relatively clear English,

govori se relativno jasnim Engleskim,

in a variety of British accents,

u varijantama britanskih akcenata,

and sometimes not British accents as well,

i ponekad ne-britanskim akcentima takođe,

other accents.

drugim akcentima,

But it's fantastic because the plot summaries

Ali to je fantastično zato što je kompletna radnja

are posted on the BBC website.

smeštena na BBC websajt.

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

Ja ću dati link svega ovoga ispod u polju za opis

And the great thing about this

I velika stvar vezana za ovo

is that it deals with daily happenings

je što radi na dnevnom nivou

which is great for your life too,

što je važno za vaš život takođe,

current events, routine things,

tekuće događaje, rutinske stvari,

and you can repeat all of the parts you missed.

i vi možete da ponovite sve delove koje ste propustili

It's on every single day apart from Saturday,

daje se svakog dana osim subotom,

they have a rest,

kada odmaraju,

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

i jednom nedeljno oni sažmu sve nedeljne epizode,

into one and that's called an omnibus,

u jednu i to se zove omnibus,

and that's around 75 minutes long.

i to traje 75 minuta.

I love listening to The Archers when I go running.

Ja volim da slušam The Archers kad idem na trčanje.

I listen to it every single day

ja ga slušam svaki dan

and if I miss one I always catch up.

I ako propustim jednu ja je nadoknadim.

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

nema početka ni kraja serije

there aren't any seasons.

nema nikakvih godišnjih doba.

So it might take you a couple of episodes

tako da to može da vam uzme par epizoda

to get used to the story lines

da biste ušli u priču

and to work out who is who

i saznali ko je ko

and to recognise the different voices.

i da prepoznate različite glasove.

Give it five or six episodes

pridajte pažnju tome pet ili šest epizoda

and you'll feel really included.

i osetićete se zaista uključenim.

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

Divno je zato što je besplatno da se sluša,

it's beautifully produced,

Lepo je napisano,

and there is a huge community of Archers fans.

i ogromna je zajednica Arčerovih obožavalaca.

A lot of them are older,

puno njih su stariji,

but a lot of them are younger too.

ali puno njih su mlađi takođe,

And if you search hashtag The Archers on Twitter,

I ako pretražujete #The Archers na Tviteru,

big tip here,

veliki savet ovde,

you'll see lots of people talking

vi ćete videti puno ljudi koji govore

and discussing the topics of the episode

i diskutuju teme iz epizode

and maybe you can interact with them.

i možda možete stupiti u kontakt sa njima.

So I'm going to leave the links

Tako da ću da ostavim linkove

for The Archers episodes

za Archers epizode

and also the plot summaries in the description box,

i takođe pregled radnje u delu za opis

and I really hope some of you take up this opportunity

I ja se zaista nadam da ćete iskoristiti ovu priliku

to listen to a daily English audio soap-opera.

da slušate na dnevnom nivou Englesku sapunicu (serijal)

10 to 15 minutes every day is definitely gonna help

10 do 15 minuta svakoga dana će definitivno pomoći

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

vašem slušanju, što će pomoći vašem razumevanju

It's just gonna help your general enjoyment as well

to će takođe pomoći vašem opštem užitku

'cause it's a great programme.

Jer je to veličanstven program.

Right, before I get too passionate,

Dakle, pre nego što se suviše zanesem,

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

hajde da pređemo na savet broj dva,

So number two is talk daily with natives.

Dakle, broj dva je razgovor na dnevnom nivou sa onima kojima je engleski maternji.

Now I bet so many of you are thinking

sada, ja se kladim da puno vas misli

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

Uh, ja bih želeo/la, ja bih voleo/la da pričam sa domaćima svaki dan,

but I don't know how

ali ne znam kako

and no one seems to want to talk to me.

i niko ne izgleda da želi da priča sa mnom.

Well I have a couple of suggestions.

Pa, ja imam par sugestija.

One is paid for and one is free,

Jedna opcija se plaća a druga je besplatna,

and the best thing, in my opinion,

i najbolja stvar, po mom mišlenju,

would be a combination of the two.

bi bila kombinacija obe.

Italki have very kindly sponsored this part of the video

Italki ima veoma ljubazno sponzorisan ovaj deo videa

and mentioning them is absolutely relevant for this point,

i pomenuti njih je potpuno relevantno na ovom mestu.

especially as they offer

posebno pošto oni nude

a language exchange partner service,

uslugu razmene partnera kod učenja jezika

which I will mention in a second.

što ću ja pomenuti u drugom slučaju.

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

Ali prvo, ako vi niste čuli za italki pre,

they are an online language teacher platform and database.

oni su jedna online platforma i baza namenjena učenju jezika.

Both native and non-native teachers

Sa nastavnicima koji su rođeni na govornom području i onima koji to nisu

from across the globe can create a profile,

bilo gde u svetu može se napraviti profil,

upload their schedules

aplodovati njihov raspored

and then you contact them for lessons.

i onda ih možete kontaktirati za lekcije.

Brilliantly priced lessons may I add.

Briljantno vredne lekcije, ako smem da dodam

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 nedelji.

from anywhere in the world,

bilo gde u svetu,

as long as you have a stable internet connection.

pod uslovom da imate stabilnu internet vezu

It's so much more affordable

to je mnogo prijemčivije

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

Ja sam probala italki da naučim nešto malo indonežanskog

before my holiday to Barley

pre mog odmora na Baliju

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

i ja sam bila impresionirana mojom učiteljicom, ona je bila neverovatna.

She had created these beautiful classes from scratch

Ona je kreirala ove divne časove posve sama

and I learned so much with her

i ja sam sa njom puno naučila

and it really, really improved my holiday,

i to je zaista unapredilo moj odmor,

especially as she taught me to say

posebno jer me naučila da kažem

(foreign language).

(strani jezik).

So important.

Tako važno.

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

italki mi je dao specijalnu ponudu da je prosledim vama.

You can get $10 worth of italki credits for free

Vi možete dobiti $10 vrednosti kredita besplatno.

when you sign up and make your first lesson purchase.

kad potpišete i napravite vašu prvu kupovinu lekcije.

All you have to do is click on the link

Sve što trebate da uradite je da kliknete na link

in the description box.

u polju za opis.

Now obviously having a paid for lesson

Sada, očigledno plaćanjem za lekciju

with a teacher every single day

sa nastavnikom svakog dana

would be the most amazing way

bio bi najneverovatniji način

to learn a language,

da se nauči jezik

but that's not a possibility for everyone.

ali to nije moguće za svakoga.

So I did just want to mention italki's

tako da ja upravo želim da pomenem italki-jev

language exchange partner programme.

program učenja jezika razmenom partnera.

The link to this is also in the description box.

Link za ovo je takođe polju za opis.

Basically you can search for

U osnovi vi možete tražiti

speakers of the language you are learning,

one koji govore jezik koji vi učite.

see if they want to learn your language,

pogledajte da li oni žele da uče vaš jezik,

and if so you can contact them

i ukoliko je tako možete da ih kontaktirate

and potentially arrange a language exchange.

i eventualno uredite jezičku razmenu.

So a combination of both paid for classes

Tako da kombinacija oba plaćanje za časove

and language exchanges would be amazing

i razmena jezika bi bila neverovatna

because you can take what you learned

zato što možete da usvojite ono što ste naučili

and heard in the language exchange

i da čujete u jezičkoj razmeni

and verify it with your teacher

i potvrdite to sa vašim učiteljem

for an extra layer of security

sa visokim nivoom sigurnosti

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

da budete sigurni da ne pravite ikakve greške

Now on to tip number three.

hajdemo sada na savet broj tri.

Set yourself a daily word goal.

Postavite sebi dnevni cilj po pitanju reči.

Learn x amount of words every single day.

Učite x reči svakog dana.

This tip is really important because it also links

Ovo obaveštenje je zaista važno zato što nas povezuje

to tip number four.

sa četvrtim obaveštenjem.

I have mentioned this strategy in a previous video,

Spoemnula sam ovu strategiju u prošlom videu,

but I actually have a really important extra layer

Ali, zaista imam sada važan dodatni sloj

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

U ovoj startegiji, koji bih želela da podelim sa vama.

In order to build your vocabulary quickly,

Kako biste nadogradili vaš rečnik što pre,

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

trebalo bi da naučite najmanje jednu novu reč dnevno,

but hopefully more than that.

idealno, i više.

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

Spomenula sam vam ranije da držite dnevnik reči,

or just a notebook or a list on your phone,

ili jednostavnu beležnicu ili listu u vašem telefonu,

keep it with you all the time

imajte to pri sebi svo vreme

and always be aware wherever you are,

i uvek budite svesni, gde god bili,

do I know that word in English?

-Da li znam tu reč na engleskom?

Do I know how to say that in English?

-Da li znam kako to da izgovorim na engleskom?

You might see a tree,

Možda naiđete na drvo...

do I know how to say that specific

-Da li znam kako se kaže ta posebna

variety of tree in English?

vrsta drveta na engleskom?

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

Ako je zapišete na vašem maternjem jeziku,

in this book, in this list,

u toj beležnici, u toj listi,

and then at the end of the day,

i zatim na kraju dana,

before you go to sleep,

pre spavanja

research all of these words

potražite sve ove reči,

and translate them into English.

i prevedete ih na engleski,

It will help you train your brain

pomoći će vam da istrenirate vaš mozak

to always be hungry for English.

da uvek bude "gladan" za engleskim.

After a few weeks you will always

Nakon nekoliko nedelja, počećete

be looking for new words that you can learn,

da tražite nove reči koje možete da naučite,

words that you didn't even realise

Reči za koje niste ni slutili

you didn't know.

da niste znali.

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

Dalje, postoji još nešto što možete da uradite sa ovim rečima

and this brings me on to point number four.

i ovo me dovodi do predloga broj pet.

Write a daily journal with a difference.

Zapisujte dnevnik sa različitostima.

Depending on your level,

U zavisnosti od vašeg nivoa,

I would buy a paper journal or diary.

kupila bih papirni beležnik ili dnevnik.

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

Uveče baš budem umorna i ne mogu da trošim

loads and loads of time writing,

mnogo, mnogo vremena na pisanje.

so I personally would buy a work week planner

Pa tako, ja kupim nedeljni plan rada

or a homework planner or a study planner

ili plan rada za domaće zadatke ili studiranje

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

na kome se nalazi svih sedam dana preko dve strane.

In each of those days I would write three

U svakom od tih dana, napišem tri

or four sentences about my day

ili četiri rečenice o mom danu

trying to incorporate those words that I learned

pokušavajući da utvrdim te reči koje sam naučila

in my daily word list,

sa moje dnevne liste reči,

the words I mentioned in point three.

reči koje sam spomenula u predlogu broj tri

That way, not only are you learning the new words

Na taj način, ne samo da učite nove reči

and learning what they mean,

i učite njihovo značenje,

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

vi postajete sigurni da se te reči u potpunosti utvrđene u vašem mozgu

And also doing this before you go to sleep

I takođe, čineći ovo pre nego što zaspite

will mean they stick in there even more.

ćete biti sigurni da tamo ostanu još više.

Then you can wake up in the morning,

Onda, kada se probudite ujutru,

read what you wrote the night before,

pročitate to što ste zapisali veče pre,

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

i imate reči sveže zapamćene u vašoj glavi,

ready for the day ahead.

spremni za novi dan.

It's honestly such a fabulous technique

Iskreno, zaista je sjajna tehnika

because it builds your vocabulary,

zato što nadograđuje vaš rečnik,

it improves your writing skills,

unapređuje vaše sposobnosti za pisanje,

it improves your reading skills,

unapređuje vaše sposobnosti za čitanje.

if you search the pronunciation of the word

Ukoliko tražite izgovoranje reči

it will improve your pronunciation

unaprediće vaš izgovor

and your listening skills,

i vaše slušajuće sposobnosti

and if you book in sessions with language teachers

i ako zakažete čas sa vašim učiteljem stranog jezika,

you can have them correct you writing.

mogu da vas isprave u vašem pisanju.

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

Pa tako, svake nedelje možete da im doneste dve sveže stranice pisanog rada

for them to correct.

da ga isprave.

Honestly, if you do this every day

Iskreno, ako ovo radite svakodnevno

it will help you so much.

puno će vam pomoći.

Right, time for the last point.

Dobro, vreme je za poslednji predlog.

Point number five,

Predlog broj pet,

the tip is to perform daily translations

Savet je da svakodnevno prevodite

of subjects you are interested in.

teme koje vas interesuju.

Now I now a lot of you want to stop translating

Okej, znam da mnogi od vas žele da prestanu sa prevođenjem

and think in English,

i razmišljaju na engleskom,

however, I think translation forms

ipak, mislim da prevođenje čini

a very, very important part of language learning,

veoma, veoma važan deo učenja stranog jezika,

especially when it's around something

posebno kada se bavi nečim

that you are interested in.

što vas interesuje.

It's really, really good to compare

Zaista je dobro uporediti

how things are said in different languages

kako je šta rečeno na različitim jezicima,

and translation helps you with that.

i tu vam je prevođenje od pomoći.

In my opinion, the best way to practise your translation

Po mom mišljenju, najbolji način da vežbate prevođenje

is absolutely free, which is fantastic,

je u potpunosti besplatno, što je sjajno

and it's right here on YouTube.

i ovde je, na YouTube-u.

Pick the YouTubers that you really, really like,

Odaberite YouTube-re koji vam se baš, baš sviđaju.

the YouTubers that talk about

YouTube-re koji pričaju o

subjects that you're interested in.

temama koje vas interesuju.

Maybe it's photography,

Možda je to fotografija,

maybe it's technology,

možda tehnologija,

maybe it's pets,

možda ljubimci,

maybe it's makeup.

možda šminka.

You can actually contribute to subtitle translations.

U stvari, možete da pomognete u titlovanju prevoda.

You may have seen that underneath all of my videos

Verovatno ste videli ispod svih mojih videa

I have a link where I give the opportunity

da imam link putem koga vam dajem priliku

to contribute subtitle translations.

da pomognete titlovanje prevoda.

So I write the subtitles in English

Tako da ja pišem titl na engleskom

and then you can write them in your own language.

a vi zatim možete da ih napišete na vašem maternjem jeziku.

It's amazing because it helps my videos reach

Sjajno je jer pomaže da moji video klipovi priđu

and help a wider audience.

i pomognu široj publici.

They also get their name displayed under the video

Taķođe, njihovo ime će biti prikazano ispod videa

which is really, really cool.

što je baš, baš strava.

And it helps their translating skills.

I pomaže pro njihovim prevoditeljskim sposobnostima.

You can translate videos from

Možete da prevodite video klipove sa

your native language into English,

vašeg maternjeg jezik na engleski

that would be a really good way to practise.

što bi zaista bio dobar način da vežbate.

But even translating English subtitles

Ali čak i prevođenje engleskih titlova

into your own native language

na vaš maternji jezik

is a really good reading and translation exercise.

je zaista dobra vežba za čitanje i prevod.

I will post a link with more information

Postaviću link sa više informacija

on community subtitle translations in the description box.

na grupne titl prevode u opisu videa.

Right, I have discussed all five points.

Dobro, diskutovali smo o svih pet predloga.

I really hope you learned something.

Zaista se nadam da ste naučili nešto.

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

Zaista se nadam da ćete isprobati neku od mojih pet preporuka.

Don't forget to check out italki,

Ne zaboravite da pregledate italki,

the link is in the description box.

besplatno, kada platite vašu prvu lekciju.

There are also links to listen to The Archers

Tu su takođe i linkovi da slušte "The Archers"

and also the information on subtitles.

kao i informacije o titlovima.

(muah)

poljubac

(beeping)

Learning a language is like learning a musical

ahhh.

Soap-opera is a drama serial

oh dear.

Right, before I get too passionate let's move on

to episode.
