Well, hello and welcome to this English lesson where I'm
0
560
3304
00:03
going to tell you about four things that you can
1
3865
2151
00:06
start doing today to improve your English learning.
2
6017
3767
00:09
And you might be a little bit
3
9785
1479
00:11
surprised at what these four things are.
4
11265
3151
00:14
These won't be the typical things that people recommend
5
14417
3655
00:18
that you can do to improve your English learning.
6
18073
3207
00:21
Are you interested, are you curious now as
7
21281
2495
00:23
to what I'm going to talk about?
8
23777
1719
00:25
Well, here we go.
9
25497
1153
00:26
Number one, go for a walk.
10
26651
2431
00:29
I know you thought I was going to say write vocabulary down
11
29083
4047
00:33
on cue cards or watch videos five times in a row, but
12
33131
4399
00:37
no, go for a walk or any other form of exercise
13
37531
4455
00:41
actually. Walking and exercise has been proven
14
41987
4095
00:46
to increase your ability to think clearly.
15
46083
3519
00:49
It's been proven that it's just good for your
16
49603
2503
00:52
ability to remember things and to solve problems.
17
52107
3495
00:55
And learning a language is all about that.
18
55603
3005
00:58
So, number one, go for a walk or
19
58609
2495
01:01
engage in any other kind of physical activity.
20
61105
3799
01:04
If you want your brain to work better,
21
64905
2135
01:07
you have to get your body in shape.
22
67041
2487
01:09
I'm actually out for a walk right now.
23
69529
1655
01:11
It's a little colder than I expected, but
24
71185
2415
01:13
I think that it's good for my brain.
25
73601
2343
01:15
The cold and the...
26
75945
1895
01:17
the blood flow, the increased blood flow
27
77841
2087
01:19
and everything that I'm experiencing, I think
28
79929
2343
01:22
will help me think better.
29
82273
1941
01:24
So, number one, go for a walk or
30
84215
2415
01:26
do some other kind of physical activity.
31
86631
3439
01:30
Number two, get a good night's sleep.
32
90071
2695
01:32
Sleep is this important thing that helps our brains
33
92767
3871
01:36
process the things we experienced the day before.
34
96639
4091
01:41
So if you've spent the day doing a variety of things
35
101270
2496
01:43
and learning some English, sleep is actually a good way to
36
103767
4159
01:47
help you remember the things that you have learned.
37
107927
3583
01:51
We're not 100% sure what happens when
38
111511
3079
01:54
we're sleeping, but we do know... Whoa.
39
114591
3739
01:58
That person probably could have used a bit more sleep.
40
118990
3120
02:02
Their tires spun when they took off.
41
122111
2259
02:05
What was I saying?
42
125150
1328
02:06
We don't fully understand what sleep does, but
43
126479
3295
02:09
we know that sleep is incredibly important for
44
129775
4111
02:13
healing our bodies and for processing and storing
45
133887
4135
02:18
the information that we learned the day before.
46
138023
3223
02:21
So, number two, the second thing you should do is
47
141247
3147
02:24
try to get a good night's sleep or even try
48
144395
2655
02:27
to get a nap in here or there. I do that.
49
147051
2735
02:29
I think that helps quite a bit.
50
149787
1887
02:31
Sometimes when I have something difficult to do, if
51
151675
2655
02:34
I have time, I'll have a little nap beforehand,
52
154331
2983
02:37
and then I can just think clearer and do
53
157315
2151
02:39
a better job when I do that task.
54
159467
2343
02:41
So, number two, get a good night's sleep.
55
161811
2899
02:45
Number three, eat healthy food.
56
165370
3198
02:48
We, again, do not fully understand the relationship between
57
168569
4943
02:53
eating healthy and how that affects the brain.
58
173513
3447
02:56
But we do know this.
59
176961
1511
02:58
When you eat healthy, when you have plenty of vegetables
60
178473
3303
03:01
and fruit and you eat the food you are supposed
61
181777
2911
03:04
to eat, somehow it makes your brain work better.
62
184689
4215
03:08
It might have something to do
63
188905
1615
03:10
with all of your gut biome.
64
190521
2775
03:13
There's a pretty high end term for you.
65
193297
3239
03:16
But somehow the food we eat affects
66
196537
3159
03:19
how well our brain works.
67
199697
1691
03:21
If you don't believe me, think about this.
68
201389
2247
03:23
When you eat badly, it can sometimes make you
69
203637
3183
03:26
tired and just want to do nothing all day.
70
206821
2719
03:29
Or you can't think clearly
71
209541
1831
03:31
because you ate seven cookies.
72
211373
2503
03:33
I've done that before.
73
213877
1283
03:35
So when you eat badly, you've
74
215780
2088
03:37
probably noticed it affects your brain.
75
217869
1919
03:39
So try to eat healthy.
76
219789
1919
03:41
Look for five to seven vegetables a day,
77
221709
3207
03:44
maybe one or two pieces of fruit.
78
224917
2071
03:46
I don't know all the details for what you
79
226989
2431
03:49
should do to eat healthy, but I do know,
80
229421
2623
03:52
number three, eat healthy and
81
232045
2271
03:54
your brain will work better.
82
234317
1391
03:55
And learning English will work better as well.
83
235709
3551
03:59
Number four, take a break.
84
239261
2719
04:01
Sometimes you spend too much time learning English.
85
241981
2791
04:04
Do you think that's even possible?
86
244773
1783
04:06
You should take a break every once in a while.
87
246557
3151
04:09
I like to look at it this way.
88
249709
1807
04:11
If you work hard learning English four, five, six
89
251517
4483
04:16
days a week, maybe you should take a day off.
90
256001
2910
04:18
It might just be a good idea
91
258912
1879
04:20
to not study English for a day.
92
260792
2440
04:23
It gives your brain a little bit of a break,
93
263233
2623
04:25
and maybe it even allows you again to process the
94
265857
4223
04:30
things that you have learned on the previous days.
95
270081
2831
04:32
So I wouldn't say take a break every other day.
96
272913
3679
04:36
I would say think about your week.
97
276593
2543
04:39
Think about what works for you.
98
279137
1919
04:41
Maybe study English Monday through Friday, take a break
99
281057
3957
04:45
on Saturday and Sunday and start again on Monday.
100
285015
2831
04:47
Or do six days, take a break and start again.
101
287847
3695
04:51
Taking breaks, it's just a good thing.
102
291543
2959
04:54
You can do other things that day.
103
294503
1775
04:56
You can do something physical that day, and
104
296279
2527
04:58
then maybe your brain will work better the
105
298807
1759
05:00
next day when you start learning English again.
106
300567
2431
05:02
So number four, take a break.
107
302999
2451
05:05
Sometimes during my live streams, people
108
305990
2160
05:08
will ask what makes you happy?
109
308151
2333
05:10
And it's kind of funny,
110
310485
1103
05:11
but the things that I recommended in this video
111
311589
3447
05:15
to help you become better at learning English are
112
315037
3039
05:18
also the things that make me happy.
113
318077
2183
05:20
I'm the happiest on a day where I have gone for
114
320261
4135
05:24
a walk, where I have eaten healthy food, and where I
115
324397
4223
05:28
have gotten a good night's sleep the night before.
116
328621
3199
05:31
For some reason, when I do those
117
331821
2303
05:34
things, three things, I just feel better.
118
334125
3385
05:37
I'm in a more positive mood.
119
337511
2551
05:40
I'm friendlier to the people around me, and I'm
120
340063
3039
05:43
sure that it has the same reasons as to
121
343103
3687
05:46
why it makes you better at learning English.
122
346791
2791
05:49
When you get a good night's sleep, when you eat
123
349583
1951
05:51
healthy, when you go for a walk and get some
124
351535
2535
05:54
exercise, it just makes you a healthier, happier person and
125
354071
4639
05:58
just able to do a lot of stuff better.
126
358711
2057
06:00
So anyways, I guess that's four
127
360769
2895
06:03
things and a little reflection.
128
363665
1511
06:05
I hope that helped you a little bit this week.
129
365177
2663
06:07
Hopefully you can think about how to get better
130
367841
2607
06:10
sleep, how to eat better food, how to find
131
370449
4735
06:15
some time to do some exercise, and hopefully all
132
375185
2831
06:18
those things will improve your English learning.
133
378017
2471
