1

4240
00:08
level increase after giving them a try let's begin  with the first habit talk to AI I think this habit  
2
8840
5480
00:14
will probably take you around 15 minutes a day  I know a lot of you guys have heard recently how  
3
14320
4400
00:18
important it is to use AI while learning foreign  languages especially English you can now ask chat  
4
18720
6120
00:24
PT a lot of different questions like honestly any  question about language learning that's what I  
5
24840
5320
00:30
right now with Spanish if I have a question  about grammar if I'm not sure how to translate  
6
30160
4600
00:34
a specific words I will just ask Chad B but  recently they have introduced a new feature  
7
34760
5120
00:39
where you can actually use your voice to talk  to AI I'm going to try showing you how it works  
8
39880
5000
00:44
because right now I'm at the park and maybe  my internet is not going to be that great but  
9
44880
4680
00:49
the key here is to tell Chad gbt that you're a  language learner and that you wanted to correct  
10
49560
4640
00:54
your mistakes hello I'm a language learner and I'm  learning English and I want to talk to you about  
11
54200
5840
01:00
about my day today I want you to correct my  mistakes and help me improve my vocabulary I'd  
12
60040
6800
01:06
be happy to help how was your day today my day  was pretty good I woke up kind of late at 8:30  
13
66840
7520
01:14
and then I had breakfast that sounds nice just  a small correction you can say I woke up kind  
14
74360
5240
01:19
of late at 8:30 do you want to tell me more about  your day thank you so much uh yes right now I'm at  
15
79600
5760
01:25
the park recording a YouTube video you're welcome  that sounds interesting what kind of video are you  
16
85360
4720
01:30
recording I am making a video for language  Learners with some interesting habits so as  
17
90080
5440
01:35
you can see it's really cool to use because you  can talk about something that you did today your  
18
95520
4280
01:39
plans maybe your vacation plans and Chach will  correct all of your mistakes if you're not sure  
19
99800
5560
01:45
how to say a certain word again just use Ai and it  will help you this habit is especially beneficial  
20
105360
7240
01:52
for those of you guys who sometimes have this  extreme motivation to learn the language you  
21
112600
7280
01:59
I know sometimes I have this feeling too I'm at  home I'm doing something and then I start thinking  
22
119880
5360
02:05
I want to speak Spanish right now with someone so  bad and obviously it's kind of difficult to book a  
23
125240
5040
02:10
lesson that fast and you can just open the app and  have a conversation and you can make it as short  
24
130280
6240
02:16
or as long as you want to now let's move on to the  second habit which is describing an object I would  
25
136520
6840
02:23
say it will take you around 20 minutes you can  incorporate this habit into your writing routine  
26
143360
5480
02:28
or your speaking routine but because we kind of  already talked about your speaking routine try  
27
148840
5000
02:33
to practice it while writing something in English  so right now I'm at the park rade and behind me  
28
153840
5920
02:39
there are some very interesting flowers honestly  I have never seen those flowers before and I can  
29
159760
7240
02:47
just whip out my journal and write what I think  these flowers are called maybe they remind me  
30
167000
6880
02:53
of something like what they look like the colors  and everything it is a beautiful writing exercise  
31
173880
8000
03:01
and plus it is connected to something that is  happening around you right you're not imagining  
32
181880
5560
03:07
things because sometimes it's very hard for us to  use our imagination and plus a lot of people are  
33
187440
4800
03:12
going to say yeah like why should I describe  just an object from my imagination if I will  
34
192240
5600
03:17
never see it or if I will never use it and this  exercise will actually even prompt you to Google  
35
197840
5960
03:23
the name of this plant let's say and be like  what is this plant call you know take a picture  
36
203800
5240
03:29
and ask go gole and stuff like that so this way  you will be improving your vocabulary obviously  
37
209040
6200
03:35
your grammar because all of this is connected to  Active Learning you have to be actively engaged to  
38
215240
6440
03:41
describe an object and of course if you want  to you can also practice speaking this way I  
39
221680
4640
03:46
hope you guys all know and you can agree with me  that when it comes to language learning building  
40
226320
4120
03:50
a habit and practicing it consistently is very  important when you start practicing with a teacher  
41
230440
5680
03:56
a common problem you might encounter is wasting  time learning irrelevant things that are not even  
42
236120
6200
04:02
interesting to you you guys know that I use the  platform life XP for practicing my languages and

58
320040
5480
05:25
to call your daily challenge and you can spend  around $1 minutes doing it this is a fun activity  
59
325520
6360
05:31
to stay motivated to learn the language because  sometimes we lose motivation sometimes we feel  
60
331880
5520
05:37
tired exhausted and we kind of need this boost you  know to keep going so this habit is a little bit  
61
337400
7960
05:45
tongue and cheek here a few examples learning five  new idioms using a specific tense throughout the  
62
345360
6200
05:51
day describing your day and the target language  before bed learning about a cultural aspect it can  
63
351560
6520
05:58
be anything but if you if you manage to create a  challenge that is fun and also quick and also you  
64
358080
8200
06:06
know researching all the things in your target  language if your level allows for that you will  
65
366280
6040
06:12
have so much fun and you will not even notice how  the time flies by oh my God this CS are literally  
66
372320
7760
06:20
here this is crazy and there's a second one here  hello No don't touch my camera okay a few days  
67
380080
6240
06:26
ago I decided to do the challenge in Spanish and  I researched the concept of chankla in Mexico so  
68
386320
6720
06:33
the word chankla means a sandal right and you  may be wondering why why are you so interested  
69
393040
6320
06:39
in sandals Veronica and my answer is in a lot of  Mexican households especially in the past mothers  
70
399360
7160
06:46
would like hold up a sandal if they wanted the  kids to listen to them they could even like throw  
71
406520
6280
06:52
the sandal and be like I told you you know you  got to listen to me or something like that I got  
72
412800
4800
06:57
interested in this concept of Chun because a lot  of my Mexican friends always joke about it you  
73
417600
5040
07:02
know obviously their mothers always joke about  it and I was like this is so interesting and I  
74
422640
4920
07:07
spent like a few minutes researching this concept  learning more about it like where it came from and  
75
427560
5480
07:13
I did everything in Spanish of course I learned a  lot of new words I had a lot of fun I asked sh to  
76
433040
6200
07:19
explain it to me to have a little conversation  and this way practicing all the habits I Shar  
77
439240
4800
07:24
with you before the next simple habit you can  Implement is following people on social media  
78
444040
5640
07:29
I know that many people usually waste time on  social media but if you follow influencers who  
79
449680
5720
07:35
speak your target language you will learn a lot of  things just set a 10-minute timer for yourself and  
80
455400
5800
07:41
every single day check their new posts you will  be exposed to informal language you will learn  
81
461200
5200
07:46
a lot of cultural things and you will also learn  what things are popular right now in this specific  
82
466400
6800
07:53
country like maybe Trends or songs so I highly  recommend it it was actually something that I did  
83
473200
6080
07:59
with with English when I was a teenager and I was  in high school because I really wanted to you know  
84
479280
5880
08:05
maybe like make an English-speaking friend but I  was very shy so I decided to just follow a bunch  
85
485160
5760
08:10
of influencers on Instagram and you know watch  their stories their reals and their posts and see  
86
490920
7000
08:17
what language they're using and this way I learned  a lot of slang and finally habit number five is  
87
497920
6640
08:24
immersion walks you can make them as long as you  want to but I would say stting from 20 minutes is  
88
504560
7240
08:31
pretty good this habit will be especially amazing  for busy people when I work a lot and I don't go  
89
511800
6400
08:38
outside my house I feel very tired and then at  one moment I decide to take a break go for a walk  
90
518200
6600
08:44
and listen to something in a foreign language  I usually listen to podcasts and Audi books  
91
524800
5360
08:50
and a lot of different topics and I learn so many  things while also walking so like doing something  
92
530160
6840
08:57
good for my body instead of sitting in front of  my my computer all day so this habit combines  
93
537000
5040
09:02
physical activity with learning and for a lot of  people this really helps with memory retention  
94
542040
5400
09:07
learning something while exercising becomes a  lot more effective and a lot more fun I think
