Extremely important part of learning anything that will also help you to have a successful

More positive and happy life, then keep watching. I'm gonna share something with you today that has helped me

immensely a lot just before I share the

Concept with you. I want to let you know that I have an email group that you can join

It just takes about five seconds

In my email group I send you my best email lessons to your inbox and you can reply

Email me easily and I read all those emails so that's the best way to get in touch with me as well

Okay, now. I want you to close your eyes

For just a moment and imagine with me that you are in a small group of people

They're English speakers and you are speaking English

maybe you're telling a story and

You're not sure about which word to use in this situation

Everyone starts laughing

Everyone starts laughing a lot, and it was not a funny part in your story, so you know that they're laughing

About your English and you know in that moment that you made a mistake

With the vocabulary word that you chose how does that make you feel?

You can tell me in the comments actually how does that? Make you feel?

imagining this situation and yes

You can open your eyes to type in the comments now to tell me how that first situation makes you feel?

now I

Want you to imagine the same situation, but I want you to realize that

in this situation you are using English and

Making that mistake is the first step

to

knowing which

Vocabulary word is the best to use in that situation?

So yes you made a mistake, but let's look at the good side

Let's look at the positive side the silver lining of the situation

You're using English you're trying you're taking action

And you're using English in an everyday conversation

with new friends

That's amazing you made a mistake

Which gives you more information about whether you chose the right word or not?

So now you have more information

You know you didn't choose the right word so that's good because now we're learning we have more information

To improve your English skills so that the next time maybe you can use the correct English word

also

third

You have a story to tell

You can tell all of your friends now about this funny situation where you use the wrong?

Vocabulary word instead of the right one and fourth you know that you won't forget

this

Situation and the information that you learned from it you won't forget this

vocabulary word the wrong one or the right one because you suffered a kind of

embarrassing traumatic moment but that is a good thing because

That helps us to remember the situation when we have some experience with

Emotion even if it's negative emotion it helps us to remember

So look at all the good things that happen from that situation

That you thought was bad making a mistake is actually a good thing

And for ways that making more mistakes can help you are

It helps you to realize that

You made the mistake and to know okay, that's not the right way

Let me find the correct way it means that you're actually getting out there and trying and using English which is the first?

Step, that's so important. You can't just think about English you have to get out there and use it and see where you make mistakes

third you're going to remember what happened because it was kind of an embarrassing moment or a

Memorable moments and a fourth you have a great story to tell so

in my own life

I've made a lot of mistakes when speaking foreign languages so there have been times where for

Example in Spanish or in Portuguese. I made a mistake, and it was really embarrassing

In Spanish I remember one day. I was talking with a man, and I wanted to say that I was embarrassed about something

well the cognate for

embarrassed in

Spanish is in - ah de and that means to be pregnant so I told this guy I was pregnant and I just wanted to

Say I was embarrassed so that was definitely even more embarrassing, but I'll never forget that in

Portuguese I

was supposed to be translating a song or the lyrics were let's have fun and

Instead of saying let's have fun. I actually

translated into Portuguese

Unknowingly I made the mistake

I chose the wrong vocabulary word and I said

Let's have an orgasm and that was completely wrong and everyone laughed at me and when I realized

What I had say I turned bright red and I was mortified

Mortified but I will never forget that vocabulary word in Portuguese

Which I won't say because I'll probably turn right again if I say it

But the point is making mistakes can actually be super helpful for you in your English

Learning journey so think of it as a helpful

Beneficial thing in many ways so if you enjoyed this let me know
