This is how I normally start my day.
0
3378
2669
00:06
I sleep in my clothes and do my makeup at night
1
6214
2795
00:09
so that I don't waste time with unproductive things.
2
9009
3211
00:12
I only drink smoothies because I can eat and drink at the same time.
3
12262
4671
00:17
Plus, I can kill two birds with one stone while I start studying.
4
17225
3837
00:21
Now it's time to get ready for bed.
5
21521
2169
00:23
Besides studying super hard, the most important goal is to save time.
6
23857
4087
00:28
Even when it comes to bathroom time.
7
28069
2086
00:30
Time to get some rest before I start studying again.
8
30447
3253
00:34
Just kidding.
9
34451
1167
00:35
That would be ridiculous.
10
35618
2044
00:37
Now, let me show you how my day actually goes
11
37662
2920
00:43
You don't have to wake up
12
43001
1710
00:44
super early and start studying all day to improve your English.
13
44711
4046
00:49
So I usually start my day by listening to a quick five minute
14
49299
3837
00:53
motivational TEDTalk while I stretch and get ready to start my day.
15
53136
5672
00:58
This is a great way to feel positive
16
58975
2920
01:01
and practice my listening skills at the same time.
17
61895
3211
01:05
There are also
18
65315
500
01:05
tons of great topics to choose from, no matter what you're interested in.
19
65815
3963
01:10
To become an advanced English speaker, you have to make English part
20
70070
3962
01:14
of your daily activities no matter what you're doing.
21
74032
3170
01:17
But if TEDTalks are not your thing, then why not try
22
77410
3379
01:20
a quick guided meditation or listen to the news of the day?
23
80789
3461
01:24
Whatever you enjoy listening to be sure to take note of any new words
24
84292
4296
01:28
you hear and write them down in a notebook or store them on a flashcard app
25
88588
4796
01:33
so that you can listen and review them later.
26
93551
2586
01:36
Okay, now let's go have breakfast.
27
96221
2544
01:39
So the key thing about advancing your English is to bring more
28
99224
3295
01:42
than just studying grammar rules and pronunciation.
29
102519
2794
01:45
It's about making English part of your lifestyle no matter what you're doing.
30
105480
4796
01:50
For example, I'm about to make breakfast, and since I'm learning Portuguese,
31
110443
4254
01:54
what I like to do is search
32
114697
1919
01:56
for some simple recipes on YouTube and listen in that language.
33
116616
3837
02:00
Like today, I'm making misto quente.
34
120578
2920
02:03
You can do the same in English.
35
123623
2127
02:05
It's a fun way to connect with the language and the culture.
36
125917
3962
02:10
So here we have the misto
37
130004
1710
02:11
quente that I just prepared.
38
131714
2002
02:13
Think of all the amazing ingredients and cooking methods
39
133716
2837
02:16
you could learn from recipes in English.
40
136553
2836
02:19
This is also the perfect time to plan the rest of your day in English.
41
139597
4421
02:24
So grab your notebook and write down all the things you still need to do today.
42
144269
4546
02:28

4713
02:43
While studying from textbooks is not the most fun part of learning
46
163204
3879
02:47
English, it is important to make time to understand the rules of the language.
47
167083
5089
02:52
As Picasso said, it's all about learning the rules
48
172255
3045
02:55
like a pro so you can break them like an artist.
49
175300
3169
02:58
I love this quote.
50
178720
1918
03:00
It means learn the rules, and gain all of the competencies.
51
180638
3837
03:04
Then, when you know what you're doing and why you're able to break down
52
184475
4088
03:08
the boundaries and adapt them to any opportunity and any situation,
53
188563
4838
03:13
you don't need to spend long hours studying textbooks.
54
193568
3545
03:17
All you have to do is dedicate a portion of your day
55
197405
2961
03:20
and focus on specific areas of the language.
56
200366
2878
03:23
That way you'll be able to master them a lot easier
57
203536
3337
03:27
and it will be more enjoyable.
58
207040
2127
03:29
I also like to use this time
59
209375
1794
03:31
to watch a live listen on Instagram or listen to a podcast
60
211169
3962
03:35
while noting down any new vocabulary I learn and using them in context.
61
215381
4880
03:40

3921
03:58
Okay, so I just had lunch and it was amazing.
66
238696
3254
04:01
But now I'm about to start my afternoon
67
241991
2169
04:04
by practicing Portuguese, by speaking with a friend from Brazil.
68
244160
3712
04:07
Making friends
69
247997
751
04:08
with someone who speaks the language you're learning can be very valuable.
70
248748
4046
04:12

79
277777
2503

So after practicing speaking with a friend I have some work to do.
86
303553
4045
05:07
So now I'll start
87
307724
1126
05:08
my final study activity for the day so that I can become an advanced learner.
88
308850
4921
05:13
And I'll do that by watching my favorite TV
89
313813
3128

90
316941

3754
05:25
So this is a fun and useful way to learn English and get advanced fast.
92
325783
5631
05:31
I usually write down any words that I don't know and then look it up later
93
331581
4796
05:36
so that I can use it in conversation with friends or speaking partners.
94
336377
4254
05:40
One important thing you should know is that to be successful and advanced
95
340757
4296
05:45
learner you should have a balanced routine.
96
345720
2210
05:48
This means getting enough sleep so that you can be your best self every day.
97
348222
5005
05:53
So I'm not going to pull an all nighter I'm going to end my studies
98
353436
3629
05:57
here and get to bed now.
99
357065
1835
06:01

I know these words, but it's like it goes in one ear and out the other.
