Never Forget a Word in English Again! | Tips for Memory and Pronunciation in English

So I recently had the pleasure of having  pronunciation expert and author of 26 books  

on the subject, Mark Hancock, on the Beyond  Borders talk show. So I was absolutely blown  

away by all the insights he shared. And we've  taken four great tips that he shared with us  

on how to adopt a mindset that will  set you up for English fluency success.

These are: 1) How to remember vocabulary.  2) Developing your ear so that you can  

distinguish and embrace the unique sounds of  English. 3) Why it is so important to feel okay  

about making mistakes in English? And 4) Why  you don't need to worry about your accent.

And if you are new here, and you want to  understand natives even when we speak

problem. So, we did! Now you can speak English  anytime, anywhere, at the touch of a button, with

way inferior to any other accent. If you would  like to learn more on this topic well we have a

Now quickly summing up what we've learned in  this lesson. First when you learn new words  

connect them with an image. This will  help you to remember the new words.  

Second, don't get scared by the different sounds  of the English language. Instead, cultivate your  

curiosity for them. Don't be afraid of mistakes  in order to learn. You will make mistakes  

all the time, make the most out of them . And lastly, relax about your accent. You  

don't need to sound like anyone, you need to  sound like yourself. Next, I'd recommend that  

you check out this inspiring lesson with Leo, who  we saw earlier. Let's check out a clip from that.

So self-directed learning or learning autonomy  Ethan and everyone watching and listening, to this  

is very much in tune. Is very much aligned with our  natural psychological development as learners and  

again, it takes it takes maturity, it takes a  little bit of a a maturation process. I should say  

in the development of the ability to take  more responsibility over our lives so I think.
