let's talk about your 20-minute language learning  routine so you have your 20 minutes let's break it  
10
65700
7380
01:13
down the first seven minutes should be dedicated  to reading just choose something you like a book  
11
73080
7500
01:20
you really love or a newspaper article it would  be even better if you have an audiobook version so  
12
80580
5820
01:26
that you can follow along you can listen and also  repeat out loud because this way you will be also  
13
86400
7860
01:34
improving your speaking skills in English usually  all of the narrators are native speakers and it's  
14
94260
5580
01:39
just so important to listen to the way native  speakers speak English if you want to improve  
15
99840
5640
01:45
your pronunciation so let me show you guys how  I usually read in English by reading a couple of  
16
105480
4980
01:50
sentences from the book The Big Friendly Giant  Sophie couldn't sleep a brilliant Moonbeam was  
17
110460
6780
01:57
slanting through a gap in the curtains it was  shining right under her pillow so what if you  
18
117240
6480
02:03
don't know the words mood beam and to slant you  can obviously Google them so a move beam is a ray  
19
123720
7860
02:11
of light that comes from the Moon and a bonus  question for you guys how would you would you  
20
131580
6000
02:17
rate of light that comes from the sun three two  one sound beam yep to slant means to lean in a  
21
137580
10800
02:28
diagonal direction or to cause something to slope  for example rays of sunlight slanted down on her  
22
148380
7800
02:36
the second thing you do is you should listen to  a podcast or watch a video for seven minutes also  
23
156180
6960
02:43
depending on your level you might choose a podcast  for English Learners or for native speakers again  
24
163140
6120
02:49
guys the most important thing is you have to like  it you have to enjoy studying English the same  
25
169260
7620
02:56
thing applies to the video you want to watch again  choose something you enjoy and it's even better  
26
176880
6060
03:02
if you're going to be using subtitles there  is nothing wrong in using subtitles guys they  
27
182940
6060
03:09
will help you see all the words all the phrases  that people are using and also this way you'll  
28
189000
6300
03:15
be able to practice shadowing so basically the  way it works is you pause the video and then you  
29
195300
6720
03:22
repeat after the speaker talking about podcasts  though there is one I really like it's called six  
30
202020
6000
03:28
minute English from the BBC and just from the  name you can already tell that each episode is  
31
208020
6660
03:34
only six minutes long so let me open this episode  about English for dating online hello this is six  
32
214680
7980
03:42
minutes English from BBC learning English I'm  Sam and I'm Roy nowadays many people use online  
33
222660
7140
03:49
dating apps to find love and romance this involves  writing a dating profile as you can see there are  
34
229800
7560
03:57
podcasts is really structured in a way to help you  learn English with all of the questions vocabulary  
35
237360
6420
04:03
and even a transcript I love the fact that it's  completely free it's easy to follow along and  
36
243780
6360
04:10
most people teaching there either have a very  good level in English or are native speakers  
37
250140
5340
04:15
so basically after you've spent seven minutes  listening to your favorite podcast or watching  
38
255480
6900
04:22
a YouTube video now we go to step number three  our final step so our final step lasts for six  
39
262380
7920
04:30
minutes and it's all about going through all the  new vocabulary and creating example sentences so  
40
270300
6600
04:36
guys here's the thing I know that a lot of people  don't really like learning new words and to be  
41
276900
5100
04:42
completely honest it doesn't always even work what  I have found works for me is just practicing the  
42
282000
6420
04:48
language as much as I can exposing myself to the  language as much as I can it just means learning  
43
288420
6960
04:55
the language every day and then slowly but surely  you will be learning all of this new vocabulary  
44
295380
6180
05:01
however I do recommend creating example sentences  and then voicing them out loud the reason why I  
45
301560
7020
05:08
like this technique is because it forces you  to actually come up with an example sentence  
46
308580
5760
05:14
by using a new piece of vocabulary and it's useful  because this way you will be memorizing vocabulary  
47
314340
6540
05:20
in context and this is how you'll be able to use  it later because if you just learn a word like  
48
320880
6660
05:27
catfishing from the podcast you're like okay  catfishing that's it like it's not enough to  
49
327540
7020
05:34
be able to explain what this word means you also  have to be able to use it because English and not  
50
334560
7740
05:42
just English languages language learning is all  about communication it's all about connecting to  
51
342300
6600
05:48
new people and building all of those meaningful  connections so let's look at the word catfishing  
52
348900
7020
05:55
catfishing is basically the act of creating a  false identity to lure people into relationships  
53
355920
7260
06:03
either friendships or romantic relationships  the catfish refers to the Predator who creates  
54
363180
6660
06:09
this false identity online for example I don't  like creating dating profiles because I'm afraid  
55
369840
6360
06:16
of getting catfished and let me give you one more  example with the expression walking a thin line so  
56
376200
6840
06:23
to walk a thin line line basically means to find  some kind of balance between two opposing views  
57
383040
7620
06:30
or attitudes not to annoy both of them like kind  of like a compromise between these two opposing  
58
390660
7800
06:38
parties for example as a new parent you always  have to walk a fine line between protecting your  
59
398460
7380
06:45
kid from all the dangers of the outside world and  becoming an overprotective helicopter parent and  
60
405840
7380
06:53
I feel like if you're a new parent or a parent  you will definitely agree with me here so yeah  
61
413220
5400
06:58
that's basically a simple three-step English  learning daily routine all you have to do is  
62
418620
6660
07:05
just follow this routine and I will guarantee you  guys that if you do it every single day for at  
63
425280
6900
07:12
least a month you will see how much your English  have improved I'm pretty sure this is the plan I  
64
432180
6660
07:18
am following right now when learning Spanish and  guys just being able to listen to so much Spanish  
65
438840
7020
07:25
or English or any other language you're learning  will improve your confidence first of all because  
66
445860
6780
07:32
why are so many people not confident because  they never interact with native speakers and  
67
452640
5640
07:38
even by listening to a lot of English watching  videos you know reading books out loud listening  
68
458280
6540
07:44
to audiobooks and also listening to podcasts will  improve your confidence and your fluency again if
