Welcome back to JForrest English.
6
26120
1520
00:27
Of course.
7
27640
400
00:28
I'm Jennifer.
8
28040
720
00:28
Now let's get started.
9
28760
1440
00:30
Step one, you're going to find three to  five blogs that you find interesting.
10
30200
6120
00:36
Once a blog, blogs are educational websites that  
11
36320
4800
00:41
provide short articles on  specific topics or themes.
12
41120
4920
00:46
How can you find blogs to use?
13
46040
2640
00:48
Well, first, simply identify your  personal and professional interests.
14
48680
5720
00:54
So let's say in your personal life  you're interested in gardening and  
15
54400
5040
00:59
piano and in your professional life you're an  accountant and you're interested in leadership.
16
59440
7920
01:07
So now you have 4 topics for blogs.
17
67360
3600
01:10
All you need is to go on to Google and  search gardening blogs, blogs about piano,  
18
70960
6720
01:17
blogs for accountants, leadership blogs and you  
19
77680
4040
01:21
can review the options and bookmark  your favorite one from each category.
20
81720
5840
01:27
Step 2.
21
87560
800
01:28
You're going to read one to 3  paragraphs of a specific blog article.
22
88360
5720
01:34
Now, in those paragraphs, your  goal is to find 3 to 5 words  
23
94080
4920
01:39
that you want to learn and add to your vocabulary.
24
99000
3880
01:42
If you find 3 to 5 words in the first  paragraph, well, then you can stop reading.
25
102880
5760
01:48
But if you've read 3 paragraphs and you  still don't have three to five words,  
26
108640
5000
01:53
then keep reading until you find  the words you want to learn.
27
113640
4240
01:57
You're probably wondering  how you should choose words.
28
117880
3600
02:01
You want to choose words that are commonly  used and that are relevant to your daily life.
29
121480
7840
02:09
This will make sure you're learning  words that will actually benefit you,  
30
129320
5040
02:14
because you can start using them in your speech.
31
134360
3800
02:18
Step three, learn the meaning of your new  words and learn how it's used in a sentence.
32
138160
8240
02:26
This is why we're using blogs,  
33
146400
2360
02:28
because you don't want to just take one  single word and understand what it means.
34
148760
5560
02:34
Because in English, one word  can have multiple meanings,  
35
154320
5040
02:39
but when you see that word in context in  a sentence, it has one specific meaning.
36
159360
8080
02:47
So you're going to learn that  specific meaning of the word.
37
167440
4880
02:52
So let's say I find an article in a leadership  blog and I'm reading it, and there is this one  
38
172320
8360
03:00
word that I don't know discreet, and it seems  like a common word that I could use in my speech.
39
180680
7840
03:08
So I want to learn it first.
40
188520
2080
03:10
I'm going to look this word up in the dictionary  and I'm going to see what the definition is,  
41
190600
7200
03:17
what type of word it's used, and I'm going to  review the example sentences of that word being  
42
197800
5760
03:23
used to make sure you really understand how  this word is being used in a specific context.
43
203560
8360
03:31
You can also ask ChatGPT.
44
211920
3200
03:35
So you can go on ChatGPT and you can type  in what does discrete mean in this sentence  
45
215120
10120
03:45
and then paste in the specific sentence  from the blog and ChatGPT will give you  
46
225240
7120
03:52
a detailed explanation of what that  word means in the specific context.
47
232360
6040
03:58
You can even ask follow up questions  if you're not sure about the meaning.
48
238400
5040
04:03
Remember I said that you should  choose three to five words right now?
49
243440
4720
04:08
You might think that's not enough words, Jennifer.
50
248160
3960
04:12
I want to improve my English as quickly as  possible, but this is a daily study routine,  
51
252120
7360
04:19
meaning you're going to repeat these steps  every single day, ideally five days a week.
52
259480
6400
04:25
So if you learn 5 words a day, five days  a week, that's 25 words in one week.
53
265880
7680
04:33
Now, maybe you still might think that's not  enough, but in one year, that's 1300 words.
54
273560
9560
04:43
That's a lot of words.
55
283120
2720
04:45
Step four, you're going to learn the  pronunciation of your new words with Youglish.
56
285840
6600
04:52
What's Youglish?
57
292440
1400
04:53
Youglish is a free website where you can search  for a specific word or a specific phrase and you  
58
293840
7760
05:01
can get results of native speakers using  that word or phrase in natural context.
59
301600
7120
05:08
So you'll hear the pronunciation,  
60
308720
1600
05:10
but you'll also hear many different accents  and styles of speech, which is so beneficial.
61
310320
6520
05:16
And your goal is to listen to five to 10  different Youglish examples for each word.
62
316840
7440
05:24
So you'll hear 5 to 10 different  accents and different styles of speech,  
63
324280
5640
05:29
which will really help you  with your listening skills.
64
329920
3120
05:33
Now, as a pro tip, you can also review the example  sentences to learn sentence structure, grammar,  
65
333040
8080
05:41
concepts, so you're not just using Uglish  for pronunciation and your listening skills.
66
341120
5440
05:46
You can also learn grammar and  sentence structure at the same time.
67
346560
4160
05:50
Step five.
68
350720
720
05:51
You're going to repeat the  Uglish sentences out loud,  
69
351440
5040
05:56
and you're doing this so you  can practice your pronunciation.
70
356480
3960
06:00
So you'll listen to the sentence  on you Glish, you'll hit pause,  
71
360440
5080
06:05
and you'll say what you just heard out  loud, and you'll try to imitate the speaker.
72
365520
7520
06:13
This is called shadowing or simply imitation,  
73
373040
3680
06:16
and it's a very effective way  to improve your pronunciation.
74
376720
4360
06:21
Repeat the sentence out loud until you  feel comfortable with the pronunciation,  
75
381080
5400
06:26
and do it a minimum of three times.
76
386480
2920
06:30
Step 6, Write three example  sentences for each word.
77
390120
5080
06:35
Writing is such a powerful way to make sure you  permanently Remember Remember your new words.
78
395200
6400
06:41
Now, when you write, you should pay  attention to your sentence structure,  
79
401600
4360
06:45
your grammar, and your writing skills as well.
80
405960
4280
06:50
And as a bonus tip, you should write  each sentence using different sentence  
81
410240
4720
06:54
structures, different verb tenses,  or different grammatical structures.
82
414960
4600
06:59
So you can ask a question  for one of your examples.
83
419560
4280
07:03
You can write a negative sentence.
84
423840
2880
07:06
You can write a sentence using the  present simple or the present perfect.
85
426720
5240
07:11
So you're practicing your grammar and  sentence structure at the same time.
86
431960
4680
07:16
Step seven, you're going to form  realistic sentences out loud.
87
436640
6320
07:22
You've already practiced  your speaking with Youglish.
88
442960
3360
07:26
You've improved your pronunciation.
89
446320
1920
07:28
You've imitated the native speakers,  
90
448240
2680
07:30
but now it's your turn to practice speaking  without seeing the sentences written down.
91
450920
6120
07:37
So you're going to form realistic sentences.
92
457040
3600
07:40
What do I mean by realistic sentences?
93
460640
2920
07:43
I mean how will you actually use  the new word in your personal life?
94
463560
6960
07:50
How can you use the new word  in your professional life?
95
470520
4440
07:54
So imagine you're talking to  your friend, your sibling,  
96
474960
3720
07:58
your spouse, and you want  to use the word discreet.
97
478680
4440
08:03
What would you say to them?
98
483120
2120
08:05
Maybe you would say I went to  three discreet stores today,  
99
485240
5120
08:10
but I couldn't find the shoes I wanted.
100
490360
2800
08:13
Now remember, you're not writing this down.
101
493160
2720
08:15
You're saying it out loud  to practice your speaking.
102
495880
4600
08:20
Now that was an example in your personal life.
103
500480
2840
08:23
Let's say you're in a meeting at work.
104
503320
2440
08:25
How would you realistically use this word?
105
505760
2920
08:28
Maybe you would say after  interviewing 5 discrete companies,  
106
508680
5520
08:34
I can confident say that Jay  Forest English is the best.
107
514200
4800
08:39
Oh, thank you.
108
519000
960
08:39
Thank you so much.
109
519960
920
08:40
I really appreciate that.
110
520880
2120
08:43

4080
09:12

118
552680
4240
09:16
each word and finally form  realistic sentences out loud.
119
556920
5800
09:22
Now let me share my best tips and advice so you  can get fast results with your new study routine.
120
562720
6720
09:29
First of all, I already said this, but  this was designed for you to do every  
121
569440
4560
09:34
day for a minimum of three days  a week, ideally five days a week.
122
574000
7160
09:41
You have five days a week.
123
581160
1760
09:42
You can do this, right put I can do it.
124
582920
3320
09:46
Put I can do it, I can do it in  the comments, but I can do it.
125
586240
4080
09:50
So I know you're committed and my best  tip for you is to choose the specific  
126
590320
5960
09:56
time you're going to spend on your new study  routine and and put the time in your calendar.
127
596280
7200
10:03
If you see it in your calendar and  you treat it like an appointment,  
128
603480
4040
10:07
like a doctor's appointment or a meeting at  work, then you're more likely to follow through.
129
607520
7120
10:14
And finally, this study routine was designed  for you to do at one time in one session.
130
614640
6760
10:21
But you should absolutely practice your  new words throughout the day as well.
131
621400
6520
10:27
And it would be a really great practice  is to do a weekly review as well.
132
627920
5240
10:33
So you can spend 5 days on the  study routine and then a sixth  
133
633160
3960
10:37
day where you just review all  the words that you've learned.
134
637120
4840
10:41
Because remember, that's 25 new words.
135
