HOW TO LEARN FLUENT ENGLISH | PRACTICAL STRATEGIES THAT WORK | Go Natural English

Hi, how are you? I'm Gabby Wallace your American English teacher here to help make the world a more fluent place with your help

so if you'd like to know how to express yourself and

Impress others with your awesome English keep watching what if there was a way to?

Accelerate your English learning to learn more in less time

What if there was a way to become?

Almost a language learning expert so that you're not only learning English, but you're able to

Easily learn or absorb any language you wanted to learn

Well, that's what I teach here at go natural English as the first step of English language learning is how to learn the language

So we don't just dive right into what is the past present tense or?

Lists of vocabulary words in fact. I don't like lists of vocabulary words

I like to teach them in a more meaningful way, but you get my point before learning any

specific English lessons we have

To make sure that we have a learning mindset and that we understand

Strategies for language learning because the way that we were taught to learn English or other languages in school

Hasn't been working very well, and I know that firsthand because it didn't work for me, and I know as an English teacher

Having to teach in traditional methods at traditional

Schools in a traditional classroom with a traditional textbook that it doesn't work for English language learners either

So in this lesson, I want to share several

Strategies that you can use to become kind of a language learning expert whether you're learning English or other?

Languages too, so let's go. Let's dive right into

Strategy for language learning now this lesson is brought to us by the English fluency formula

Which is an e-book that I wrote to put together?

My best lessons and strategies and techniques for you in one easy

to read

downloadable

Resource it's also available streaming online

There's audio so that you can listen to it as you read or just listen or just read there's a lot of options, so

Anyway on page seven we have several

strategies

One thing that's really helpful when you're learning a language is to read a little bit every day

This is especially helpful if you're not in an English environment

so if you're not living in the United States, maybe you're in your home country and

What you see around you is actually in your native language?

so if you go to a restaurant the menu is in your native language if you

Drive around your city signs are in your native language

If you view the news it's in your native language

So you need to challenge yourself you have to actually push yourself to select something every day to read in

English now I would suggest that you automate this make it something that is easy and

Automatic for you to read every day

so maybe it's the news on the BBC or NPR or Voice of America which is a

special news site for English learners

You could make sure that every day you're reading part of a book that you want to read maybe a fiction or nonfiction

Book, I personally love reading

biographies and I love reading nonfiction or

real stories real history or

self-help books too actually

I love those because I love to always learn about how to become a better person okay anyway more strategies

review and

Repeat what you've already learned because if you don't review it and repeat it well

It's kind of like riding a bicycle after a while if you don't ride your bicycle

You know it takes a little time maybe a few minutes to actually remember how to keep your balance

But it'll come back to you easily

but if you continue riding a little bit every day you're gonna get stronger and faster and better and

Improve and build some muscles and endurance, too

next keep a positive

can-do

So don't focus on what you can't do don't

worry about

Thinking thoughts like oh my English is so bad. I'll never learn English these thoughts are not helpful really

Keep a positive mindset, and think about all the things that you've already learned if you can understand me right now

You're doing a great job

So remember that you are 100%

capable of learning English fluently I believe in you and I want you to believe in yourself and to stay positive too so next

Related to that don't focus on the negative

Don't focus on what you can't do don't focus on your mistakes

But actually focus on what you can do and what you can improve

Maybe there's just one little thing that you could learn today or one mistake that you could improve today mistakes are

amazing opportunities

to learn and improve

So if you learn just one little thing one new thing every day

or you make an observation of a new way to use a vocabulary word or a

new proverb a new idiom or maybe just

Observing the way that words are pronounced if you just try to

Learn one little thing every day your English is going to improve a lot over time

So don't feel like you're not doing enough. Don't get down on yourself. Don't feel bad

If you're not able to study for hours, and hours every single day. I'm telling you you'll

Definitely improve if you just do a little bit every day if you can do more

That's great, but I know you're busy

And I know that a little bit every day will definitely help you to improve, so just keep at it

Okay

two more quick tips use a variety of resources

And a variety of different kinds of media like text audio

video and especially

Use things that you enjoy so use a variety of different

Resources that's one strategy for learning

You know don't just rely on your textbook or reading because then you're not gonna know how words sounds so be sure to listen

To people speak or watch videos or TV programs as well and finally select

media that you enjoy books that you enjoy music that you enjoy because

English should become a part of your life that you love at least that's my hope for you because I know that

With that kind of strategy making English part of your life and making English something that you look forward to

Doing every day or experiencing every day is gonna

Help you to learn a lot faster, and of course. It's gonna be more fun

So I hope that these strategies are helpful for you

I know that they've been helpful for me as I've studied different languages
