10
94720
10000
01:44
mistakes some students are so  scared of speaking incorrectly

02:03
pronunciation but don't worry I  will give you the solution now
13
123120

listen what you have to do is understand  that making mistakes is part of
14
133000
11280
02:24
learning every time you make a mistake  you learn something new that's the
15
144280
9760
02:34
thing find a language body or join  englishspeaking groups where everyone is
16
154040
9720
02:43
learning practice daily conversations  with yourself in front of a
17
163760
10120
02:53
mirror celebrate small wins like ordering  food in English or introducing yourself  
18
173880
10400
03:04
to someone remember no one speaks perfectly  at first fluency comes from confidence not  
19
184280
10240
03:14
Perfection another common mistake students  usually make is overusing textbook English  
20
194520
12000
03:26
Learners often stick to formal English  phrases from textbooks that sound
21
206520
6840
03:33
unnatural for example saying how do  you do instead of the more common
22
213360
9400
03:42
WhatsApp but what is the solution  well expose yourself to real life
23
222760
10360
03:53
English watch YouTube videos listen to podcast  
24
233120
6600
04:00
or follow influencers who speak casually write  down new expressions and practice using them in
25
240360
11600
04:11
context learn the slang or idiomatic  expressions like piece of cake or break a
26
251960
11160
04:23
leg using Modern English will  make you sound more natural and
27
263120
9160
04:32
relatable another common  mistake is focusing only on
28
272280
9720
04:42
grammar some students Focus so much  on grammar rules that they neglect  
29
282000
10440
04:52
practicing speaking listening and reading as  a result they can write will but a struggle  
30
292440
8880
05:01
to communicate in real life what is the  solution what you have to do is balance your
31
301320
10800
05:12
learning dedicate the specific days  to practice speaking and listening  
32
312120
12560
05:24
use apps like du lingo for grammar  and other like hello talk to practice
33
324680
7000
05:31
conversation read easy books or articles  allow to improve both reading and
34
331680
9640
05:41
pronunciation remember communication  is the goal not just grammar
35
341320
8800
05:50
Perfection another mistake that a students usually  make is translating directly from your native
36
350120
10920
06:01
language many Learners translate word  for word from their native language into
37
361040
9920
06:10
English this often leads to confusing  sentences because grammar and sentence
38
370960
9760
06:20
structures defer across languages but  don't worry I will will give you the  
39
380720
9680
06:30
solution listen stop thinking in your native  language instead practice thinking directly in
40
390400
9600
06:40
English start small describe  simple things around you in
41
400000
9400
06:49
English watch movies or shows without  subtitles to absorb natural sentence
42
409400
10880
07:00
structures over time your brain will  adjust to forming English sentences
43
420280
9440
07:09
naturally what else oh rying too  much on subtitles that's a common
44
429720
10120
07:19
mistake many Learners watch English movies or  shows with subtitles in their native language
45
439840
9680
07:33
while helpful at first it can  become a crutch that it slows down
46
453120
6760
07:39
progress I have the solution for  that gradually reduce subtitle
47
459880
9280
07:49
dependence start by watching with  English subtitles one comfortable  
48
469160
10320
07:59
T them off and rely on context  to understand repeat sense if
49
479480
9480
08:08
necessary this will train your ears to  recogize English words and phrases in real
50
488960
10360
08:19
time oh this is also very common in  a students using the same vocabulary
51
499320
10120
08:32
some students stick to a small  set of words they are comfortable
52
512640
6280
08:38
with leading to repetitive  and limited communication the
53
518920
9720
08:48
solution expand your vocabulary  learn three to five new words daily
54
528640
10800
09:02
and use them in sentences  group words by thems like
55
542200
5800
09:08
food travel or work to make learning easier also  use flashcards or ABS to review new words the more  
56
548000
16600
09:24
words you know the better you can express yourself  another common mistake is ignoring intonation and
57
564600
12560
09:37
stress speaking English with flat  intonation makes your sentences sound
58
577160
10080
09:47
robotic proper intonation and stress  are key to sounding natural and clear
59
587240
12080
10:01
for example I didn't say  she stole your money changes
60
601120
6320
10:07
meaning depending on the stress  word what to do practice with audio
61
607440
10440
10:17
resources Shadow native speakers  by repeating after them also
62
617880
11440
10:30
pay attention to which words they  emphasize this is very important to  
63
630840
6440
10:37
speak fluent English oh and one of the  most common mistakes is expecting quick
64
637280
10240
10:47
results many students want  to master English in a few  
65
647520
6000
10:53
months and get frustrated when progress is slow
66
653520
5720
11:00
set realistic goals learning a language  takes time and consistency break your  
67
660960
9760
11:10
goals into small achievable steps like  learn 10 new words this week celebrate  
68
670720
9960
11:20
progress no matter how small remember  language learning is a journey not a race
69
680680
8560
11:30
with patience and persistence  you'll get there believe
70
690720
5160
11:35
me oh one more please don't do  it overloading yourself with
71
695880
11040
11:46
rules some Learners spend too much time  memorizing grammar rules and exceptions
72
706920
12320
12:00
instead of practicing this can make  English seem harder than it really
73
720200
6320
12:06
is what you have to do is focus on communication
74
726520
9280
12:15
first instead of mastering every grammar rule  prioritize what you need for daily conversations
75
735800
13560
12:29
learn simple tenses like present past  and future before diving into complex
76
749360
6240
12:35
ones use grammar Naturally by  writing or speaking not just  
77
755600
9880
12:45
studying Theory remember you don't need to  be perfect to be understood remember that
78
765480
13760
12:59

79
779240
5960
