people who also want to improve their  English now if you can't find someone

118280

14
125120
9000
02:14
speaker the first thing you have to do is identify  that skill you need to work on that weak area of  
15
134120
11480
02:25
your English maybe your grammar is terrible or  your speaking is not good enough probably you're
16
145600
7760
02:33
writing or maybe your listening skills  are not good after you identify your
17
153360
9720
02:43
weakness you have to make a study plan to improve  that area search materials which can help you with  
18
163080
11960
02:55
that practice every day or seek help why why am I  telling you this because everyone wants to improve  
19
175040
8560
03:03
their English and they say I want to improve  my English but it's not as simple as that you
20
183600
8680
03:12
know English is a language and there are many  areas to dominate you need to focus on one of them
21
192280
11120
03:23
first and that's the weakest so please do it  don't just want to improve your English seek  
22
203400
12280
03:35
to improve each aspect of the English language  at a time and start with the one that gives you
23
215680
5960
03:41
problems very good advice now we  have a question from Santiago from
24
221640
10200
03:51
Philippines he says what can I do if  I can't find find the right word in
25
231840
9920
04:01
English when English is not your first language  it is normal to get nervous and have the fear  
26
241760
9200
04:10
of not finding the right word getting stuck in the  middle of a sentence is more normal than you might
27
250960
9160
04:20
think especially when you are in front  of your manager or other native English
28
260120
9640
04:29
speakers to avoid this kind of situation  don't overthink or stress our grammar
29
269760
10600
04:40
mistakes learn vocabulary in chunks blocks  and learn to paraphrase take your time and
30
280360
10520
04:50
relax repeat the beginning of the sentence  or use other words like I'll start again
31
290880
8920
04:59
in sorry I meant to say that let me rephrase  that actually what I meant to say was
32
299800
10320
05:10
that it's normal to forget some words  or simply don't know the word Find
33
310120
9520
05:19
synonyms very good now we have a  question from Bianca from Italy she
34
319640
10160
05:29
says how can I improve my listening skills she  says she tries but can't improve that skill  
35
329800
12600
05:42
listening skills or right improving your English  listening skills takes time but the good news is  
36
342400
10600
05:53
that you can do it while commuting to work  taking a shower or doing the dishes at home
37
353000
6640
06:01

06:08
find interesting finding inspiring ons is key  to enjoy in this activity and wanting to keep
39
368000
8640
06:16
listening some podcast even offer the transcript  which you can read at the same time as you listen  
40
376640
12920
06:30

41
390600
5960
06:36
words also you can use these videos on YouTube  like this one to improve your listening
42

skills well that's true many people  tell us they listen to our videos while  
43
406440
9080
06:55
they are doing other things like cooking  driving cleaning working or even taking a
44
415520
9400
07:04
shower okay next question this  is from Angelina from France she
45
424920
11240
07:16
says how can I write better emails in English she  works in an office and she always sends emails  
46
436160
13480
07:29
one of the concerns of many of our Learners  is that they are scared of making mistakes in  
47
449640
7240
07:36
their emails and this results in them taking too  long to write them it happens a lot believe me  
48
456880
12400
07:49
the most important thing when writing emails is  to have a clear goal the first step is to think  
49
469280
10360
07:59
about what the topic of your email is and pick  just one topic per email to maximum this will  
50
479640
9400
08:09
keep both you and your reader focused  and increase the effectiveness of your
51
489040
5760
08:14
emails then you need a good structure  of your email I will give you one
52
