Hello, what's up?

I'm Gabby Wallace your American English teacher founder of go natural English

making the world a more fluent place with your help now you want to be fluent in English and

You've been studying a lot of things for a lot of years to improve your English

Fluency now. What if I told you that?

learning and improving is not just about

accumulating

knowledge and facts

Improvement is actually about letting go of some things

Stopping doing some things if that sounds interesting then keep watching

Let me explain in this lesson

I'm gonna share five things that you can stop doing and these five tips are inside the English fluency

Formula so this lesson is brought to you by the ebook that I wrote for you to help you improve your English fluency

So let's go to page eight

Five things that you can stop doing right now

You can let go

Release them into the world, and you never have to worry about them again and in the meantime your English will improve

How about that? Would you like me to share these things with you that you can stop doing?

Okay number one if you don't see immediate improvement in your English don't give up

It takes time to change the way you learn and to realize that you are improving. It's all about

Patience it's all about enjoying the journey of learning English

Don't fixate so much on if you've actually improved from day

Today yes, it's important to learn new things to challenge yourself

But don't fixate so much on have I improved my score or my grades since yesterday

focus more on

What you can do to experience English on a daily basis?

So don't give up if you don't see a medium because also

You're gonna see that some days

You might improve a lot, and it seems like English is coming naturally to you all of a sudden

But then other days for whatever reason maybe you're feeling tired

Maybe you woke up on the wrong side of the bed, maybe you're experiencing a new English environment

Well, you're gonna feel like your english actually

Went back a level and that's natural

Because that's what it's like to learn and improve

You're gonna feel like you took two steps forward and one step back and two steps forward and one step back

But you are improving next let's talk about reading books

Don't stop reading a book just because it feels too difficult don't throw it away

Take a break

Try reading something else in the meantime, and then go back to that book that seems difficult

And I bet that after a month or two it's gonna see him a lot easier

It's a lot like these days with rock climbing

I started rock climbing about a month ago, and it was really really hard at first. I couldn't climb anything

It was really embarrassing by it I got a month pass and I've been going every single day

Sometimes twice a day to the rock climbing gym

And now I can climb a lot more and a lot better than I was on day one

some days are more difficult than others, but I can see an improvement and that's how it is with English so give yourself time and

Be patient with yourself

Number three don't compare yourself with others

there are they're people with other experiences and other goals and

Just compare yourself with you your goals and your improvements over time

Okay, number four is really important

don't focus on what you

Cannot do look we go where we focus have you ever noticed that maybe if you're driving or riding

Your bike and you're looking at something you start to steer towards it by

accidents or

Subliminally, not really even thinking about it

this is what happens when we focus on the

Negative when we focus on what we can't do it seems to expand it seems to get worse

it seems to get bigger so try not to focus on what you cannot do try to focus on what you can do and

lean in to your positive feelings about English your

accomplishments and English is gonna feel a lot easier to

finally number five

Don't try to do everything

alone

Learning English is not a solo activity. Yes. You're smart you're dedicated

You can learn so much on your own, but English for me at least is about

communication and that means two people or three people or four or

Many many many many many people so don't do it alone

Remember if you want to go fast go alone if you want to go far go together
