“Glow-Up” Your English: Improve Fluency & Confidence

Hi there. I'm Ronnie, and I'm going to teach

you a new phrase. It's called a "glow-up".

A "glow-up" means you become more - and this is

the word I want you to focus on - attractive,

positive, successful. You boost your self-confidence.

You cultivate, which means make, a positive

self-image. So important. You progress as a human. It's a general self-improvement.

But, you know, as this thing called social media goes, people take phrases and words,

and they kind of put them out of context and make

a new word to make something very simple seem - oh,

it's luxuriously wonderful. I'm going to have a

glow-up. I'm going to get some new beauty products

here, you know. I'm going to drink some new

fruit juices, you know, just apply this here.

Don't I look beautiful now? No, you don't. It's

all bullshit, but there is one thing that I can

help you with, and it's not a gimmick. These things

are gimmicks. How to boost your self-confidence,

because this is something that's essential for

you. I don't care how old you are. I don't care

what stage of your life you're in. If you're a

teenager, a child... Hi. If you're an older lady

or an older man, I don't care how old you are;

it's not important. But what's important is that

I help you become a better English speaker. So,

how do you do this? Short answer is me and you,

private lessons, englishwithronnie.com, and

I'll help you do this. But let's get back to

the glow-up and I'll give you that information

again. So, having a positive self-image is one

of the most important things you can do for yourself. And I know there's so much that's

written about it and so much bullshit out there,

and people basically just want you to buy their

beauty products, but this has to come from

within. And having self-confidence to be a good

speaker in English, to be fluent, it has to come

from within, and you're going to have to have some

coaches help you along the way. Okay? So, if we

look at, like, from an internal point of view,

it's the same. It's always the same. Drink more

water. Eat more fruits and vegetables. Exercise

and sleep enough. So, basically, just be a

human. Somehow that isn't working for me yet,

but it's important. Don't eat junk food, don't

eat shit. Try and walk around and exercise,

you know, just try and be a little healthier. This

is where the propaganda of the beauty industry

comes in. Do you know what? If you get a new

hairstyle, if you buy the latest fashion of clothes,

and if you buy my wonderful beauty product, you

are going to have a glow-up. You're going to be

more confident. You're going to be a better person. You're going to be more successful.

Absolute bullshit, isn't that? So, buy your

beauty products, but they're not going to help

you from within. When you're learning English,

it's hard. It's a struggle. It's not easy

to speak in a whole new language in front of

a weird people that you don't know. It's very

challenging, but you can do it. You can. You can do anything you put your mind to,

and I really believe that. I've tried to speak,

like, Japanese, and Portuguese, and Spanish,

and I can speak English really well. That's

good. But I tried. I can get by. I can do stuff.

Now, as far as something I can really help

you with and something that's actually useful,

you need to improve your English. So, let's do something different. Okay? Let's...

Hey, you like watching TV series or series on

whatever streaming you have? Watch a new series.

The more things that you watch and the more things that you're exposed to,

your vocabulary's going to increase, and you're

just going to get a different outlook or a

different perspective on something. So, if you

like watching TV, you like watching movies,

series, do it, but do it differently. Watch

something different. Don't stick to the same

old... I don't know why people like Friends.

They're like, "I've watched Friends season

one through eight, seven times." It's like, nice, watch something different.

Hmm. This is a big one, too. Talk. Yeah, yeah. Actually speak to different people.

We get in a rut, which means, like, we get stuck

in some... We get stuck in something that we kind

of have the same circle of friends, we kind of

do the same thing. Life gets routine and boring.

It doesn't have to be. Hey, there's people

at the bus stop with you or the subway stop,

talk to them. It doesn't matter if you look a

bit weird. I'm a bit weird, and you're looking

at me and talking to me. So, get out of your

friend circle, talk to other people. It doesn't

matter where you find them. Go to the bank. Hey,

what's up? Give me your money. Don't rob the bank,

just talk to the people at the bank. Robbing the

bank is my thing, okay? Read a book or magazines,

if you like doing that. If you don't like reading books, I cannot say this enough,

don't read books, okay? Some people think, oh

man, you know, I'm really going to improve my

English if I read a book, but I hate reading.

Well, guess what? That's not going to work,

so don't do that. People love podcasts.

Listen to a new podcast. Podcasts are great.

They're amazing. They give you knowledge, you

can listen to people, and they tell you things.

It's very entertaining for some people. Hate

podcasts. Take - what does it say on the board?

Oh, take online classes with me. Oh, who wrote

that up there? Englishwithronnie.com. So,

I'd like to offer you a glow-up session. I'd like

to offer you four glow-up sessions on my website.

If you're struggling with your English, your

fluency, your pronunciation, your vocabulary,

or just generally speaking, and oh my god, like

talking in English, I know it's hard. I'll help

you. Your vocabulary, your grammar, your pronunciation, and it's actually fun and

cool. Like, I'm not going to give you homework,

and you have to like, oh, I hate this. It's going

great. It's going to be your glow-up, it's

going to be my glow-up because I can help you,

and you can become more attractive. I don't know how that's going to work,

but you'll figure that part out. You can definitely become more successful.

The amount of people that have to speak English

in this world is outrageous. Every time I travel

somewhere, doesn't matter what country I go to,

most of the people there must speak English.

For tourists, for their job, and I'm like, you poor

people. English has just taken over everything,

but I'm here to help you. Boost your self-confidence. You're going to be more

confident when you speak English, and it's going

to be the best glow-up ever, or self-improvement.

It's like English boot camp, but that's an

old phrase. We're not going to talk about...

That's old. I'm out of here. I'm just... Yeah, done. Bye.
