52539
3380
00:56

56260
3380
01:00
Have already upgraded their cell phones like the past maybe six months, right?
11
60340
3799
01:04
It's pretty common nowadays
12
64140
1540
01:05
people usually
13
65680
1020
01:06
Upgrade their cell phones and their laptops because they want a version that's gonna work a lot quicker a lot faster and a lot more
14
66700
6560
01:13
Efficiently, right what if I tell you that you can also upgrade your mindset? Okay
15
73780
6019
01:20
That's right. Your mindset also has to do with
16
80590
3050
01:25
Upgrading in other words, uh you learning English a lot more
17
85360
4189
01:30
Efficiently a lot quicker, right and also helping you to speak English a lot more confidently as well today
18
90130
6830
01:36
I want to talk about five
19
96960
1720
01:38
Mindsets that can help you do that. Alright, so
20
98680
2869
01:42
The first one is consistency now. It's important that
21
102520
3559
01:46
You are consistent and having a daily contact with English. Okay, not just a couple of hours a week
22
106990
7220
01:55
I know that if you're doing an English course that may be the case
23
115050
3209
01:58
But you just don't want to depend on a couple of hours a week or some people do it
24
118260
4349
02:02
Just once a week if that's the case
25
122610
2010
02:04
then you're gonna see slow progress and the time that we're living in it's
26
124620
4529
02:09
Really possible for you to have daily contact with the language through internet through social media and so forth
27
129580
5539
02:15
Okay, so there's really no excuses. You want to have a daily contact with the language? All right. I'll give an illustration
28
135280
6679
02:22
suppose you go to the
29
142930
2000
02:25
To the gym, you want to lose weight. Let's say 20 pounds, but a little bit less being 10 pounds, right and
30
145120
6589
02:32
You sparkle you speak with the personal trainer. You say listen, I want to lose 10 pounds
31
152860
3800
02:37
But I really don't have much time. So I'm just gonna get here maybe once a week maybe. All right
32
157239
6020
02:43
What do you think his response is gonna be? He's probably gonna laugh at you right because
33
163480
4250
02:48
if anyone if anyone who's already tried to lose weight, you know that it's really hard so you
34
168250
5149
02:54
Really have to go at it and go at least 3 to 4 times a week, right?
35
174040
4190
02:58
It's no different with English
36
178480
1580
03:00
If you want to see results
37
180060
1660
03:01
If you want to progress if you want to get better more and more then you have to have a daily consistent
38
181720
6320
03:08
contact with English ok
39
188410
2000
03:10
the next one is a
40
190930
2000
03:13
Constructive speech now I catch a lot of my students saying negative things to themselves about
41
193030
6440
03:20
Their potential their ability to learn the language and also about the language itself now
42
200049
5030
03:25
You want to understand that words have the power to set you up for failure or success. That's right
43
205989
6470
03:32
You have to be really careful what you say
44
212680
2000
03:35
So you want to keep it positive?
45
215620
2000
03:37
Instead of saying negative things like oh I'm too old or I'm never gonna learn this language is too complicated
46
217959
6200
03:45
I've heard people actually say that they're stupid, you know, this kind of talk really doesn't empower you. All right
47
225120
7230
03:53
it gives you it gives you a
48
233090
2520
03:56
negative
49
236400
1080
03:57
Mindset. Alright and it just sets you up for failure, right?
50
237480
3830
04:01
so you want to keep it really positive even if it is a challenge and
51
241310
3360
04:05
Baby, you're in a phase where you're not seeing much results
52
245160
2630
04:08
But don't give it to the temptation of saying something negative instead say something encouraging something positive. Okay
53
248070
6829
04:15
Empowering words that will help you to keep going and not give up. Okay. The next mindset is
54
255540
6919
04:23
Confidence. Alright confidence is really important
55
263040
3019
04:26
You know studies show that someone who speaks confidently
56
266130
4880
04:31
even if he doesn't speak correctly he tends to progress a lot quicker than
57
271440
5000
04:36
Someone who is sort of been secured who speaks really low sort of sheepish, you know
58
276750
6440
04:43
Because they were afraid of making mistakes
59
283950
2000
04:46
Okay, now I know that learning a second language
60
286170
3139
04:49
Can be a little bit daunting, you know
61
289860
2150
04:52
It's scary sometimes especially when you're in front of a native speaker someone who mastered already the language
62
292080
6799
04:59
However, I want you to have the mindset where you see mistakes as something good
63
299520
5390
05:05
Mistakes are not your enemies. They're actually your allies
64
305490
3500
05:08
Okay, if you want to be successful in English, there's no way of working around it
65
308990
5130
05:14
You're gonna have to make a lot of mistakes. Okay, and it's okay to make mistakes. Alright, but
66
314120
6029
05:22
If you focus if you just have a mindset where you're always afraid to
67
322110
4910
05:27
Communicate or to speak or open your mouth because you don't want to make a mistake. That's really going to stall your progress
68
327480
7009
05:34
Okay, speak with confidence speak loudly as well
69
334490
3929
05:38
All right. You don't have to get it right before you talk you just
70
338419
4530
05:43
Talk, you know just be confidently. Alright
71
343710
2540
05:47
The next mindset is communication
72
347070
2059
05:49
You want to focus on communication and not perfection?
73
349680
3140
05:53
alright now a lot of people I see that they have a hard time communicating because they're always
74
353390
6449
06:00
Waiting until they understand all of the grammatical structures before they talk, you know
75
360570
5179
06:06
Listen, you don't have to understand everything 100% before you communicate. All right, focus on getting the message across
76
366510
6859
06:13
All right. That's what I did when I started learning
77
373650
2600
06:16
Portuguese as a second language I
78
376800
2000
06:19
decided from the from
79
379170
2000
06:21
from the beginning that
80
381360
2000
06:23
Even I didn't know everything, you know, I mean it was impossible for me to know everything I needed to speak English
81
383880
5390
06:29
I was living here in Brazil. So I said you know what?
82
389270
3059
06:32
I'm going to
83
392940
1710
06:34
just focus on communication on trying to get my message across so that the other person
84
394650
4250
06:39
understands what I'm trying to say and there were many times where I made a complete fool of myself, but the person actually
85
399660
6980
06:47
Understood. All right, and when it's funny because when you focus on communication
86
407370
4640
06:52
In time your speech your conversation actually starts getting better and better. All right, so communication
87
412650
7700
07:01
breeds progress of perfection
88
421020
2059
07:03
But not vice versa if the person is focused on always getting it right then
89
423080
5669
07:09
You're probably gonna make more mistakes than if you focus on communication. All right, so
90
429150
6290
07:16
Communication is key focus on communication and not perfection. The next mindset is concentration
91
436350
5899
07:22
Now we're living in a time in age when we're constantly bombarded with
92
442950
3589
07:28
Different offers like a brand new method innovative
93
448140
4219
07:32
Approach so that you can learn English a lot quicker in like three months or whatever
94
452790
3739
07:37
So it's easy for us to get distracted. Alright, what you want to do is you want to choose a material a content?
95
457440
7790
07:45
an online course an English course and
96
465840
3019
07:49
You study that course and you focus on just that one thing and finish it
97
469590
5299
07:54
All right stick to it until you're finished don't jump from like course to course. Alright, that's not good
98
474889
6240
08:01
And if you do that, you're gonna get superficial results. Okay, so
99
481160
3449
08:05
one thing at a time and if you're not familiar with an online English course
100
485250
4850

496350

Those are the five mindsets. I'm sure that if you put those five disciplines into practice at first, it can be really uncomfortable
103
501120
6380
08:27
I know that it's really hard to practice. But if you
