Here's step number one.

15210
2280
00:17
Step number one, find an image that represents the new word or.
6
17550
4920
00:23
Finding an image will help you create a visual connection to the
7
23595
4649
00:28
word or expression in your brain.
8
28244
2160
00:30
This will make it easier for you to remember the word or expression
9
30915
4049
00:35
when you are speaking English.
10
35235
2370
00:37
This is something that will change your life.
11
37995
3390
00:41
For example, let's say the new word you learned.
12
41415
2910
00:44
Was delicious.
13
44910
1350
00:46
We have delicious right here, and I'm going to show you how
14
46410
3630
00:50
you can apply step number one.
15
50040
1740
00:51
So I want you to think right now what's something delicious, right?
16
51780
5400
00:57
Think of an image that could represent the word delicious.
17
57360
4200
01:01
Now I'm going to say an apple because I really love apples.
18
61590
6120
01:07
So I could go online and find a picture of an.
19
67860
5160
01:13
Why?
20
73860
510
01:14
Because in my opinion, apples are absolutely delicious.
21
74370
6450
01:20
So I have completed step number one.
22
80970
3660
01:25
I found an image that has the meaning of the word shown visually.
23
85450
6680
01:32
Apples are delicious.
24
92640
1590
01:34
Step number one, you see right there.
25
94230
2280
01:36
Very simple.
26
96510
750
01:37
Step one, find an image now, step number.
27
97260
3900
01:42
Think about a personal experience.
28
102435
2610
01:45
You see, thinking about a personal experience related to the word or
29
105285
4440
01:49
expression will help you create an even stronger mental trigger in your brain.
30
109725
6659
01:56
In other words, the word or expression will stay in your memory
31
116910
5160
02:02
longer because there are so many things you can connect it to.
32
122310
4590
02:07
So once again, step number two is think about a personal experience.
33
127230
4830
02:12
Now, remember our example is the word delicious.
34
132180
3170
02:15
In step number one, I said, Hey, I'll find a picture of an apple
35
135960
4440
02:20
because apples are delicious.
36
140400
2250
02:23
But now for step number two, we have to think about a personal experience
37
143625
5760
02:29
that represents this word delicious.
38
149595
3420
02:33
Now, for me again, step number two, being a personal experience, the very
39
153105
6000
02:39
first thing that pops into my mind.
40
159105
1950
02:41
Is Thanksgiving dinner?
41
161804
1470
02:43
Ooh, wait.
42
163494
1060
02:44
Listen.
43
164744
1111
02:46
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
44
166125
3239
02:49
So when I think about Thanksgiving, I think about all the delicious.
45
169785
5400
02:56
Food my mom makes every single year.
46
176190
4500
03:00
So in my mind for step two, I'm creating this image of the experience
47
180750
6270
03:07
that represents the word delicious.
48
187020
3570
03:10
Now I'm gonna just show you just a little bit of real quick drawing because.
49
190590
2950
03:14
My mouth is already watering.
50
194415
1500
03:16
When I think about all of the food that my mom makes for Thanksgiving
51
196065
6000
03:22
dinner, it's absolutely delicious.
52
202070
3205
03:25
You see, I am thinking about my personal experience because step number two
53
205275
6270
03:31
is connect a personal experience.
54
211550
3085
03:35
Think about an experience that connects to the word or expression you are learning.
55
215025
5340
03:40
Step number two.
56
220890
1200
03:42
Now, step number three is important.
57
222180
1800
03:43
Step number three, write down the five Ws.
58
223980
4140
03:48
You see writing down the five Ws, who, what, when, where, and why
59
228300
5850
03:54
related to the word or expression will also help you remember it.
60
234150
5910
04:00
This will also help you remember how you.
61
240450
2700
04:04
Learned about the word or expression.
62
244215
3810
04:08
So let me explain.
63
248025
1529
04:09
Right now we are talking about ways to never ever forget the words or
64
249945
5370
04:15
English expressions that you learn.
65
255315
1620
04:17
Right now we're on step three.
66
257024
2310
04:19
And step three again is write the five W.
67
259425
2910
04:22
So if we go back to our example, and we're going to write step number three.
68
262335
5040
04:27
So step number three being about the five Ws.
69
267945
4810
04:33
What, when, where, and why now?
70
273690
5400
04:39
Who taught you this word?
71
279090
1530
04:41
That would be me.
72
281580
840
04:42
So I'm gonna write my name Tiffani.
73
282750
2450
04:45
Now the second W who, what?
74
285900
2940
04:49
What did you learn about this word?
75
289875
3270
04:53
Or what did you connect to this word or what was used to describe
76
293175
5550
04:58
this word so you can choose what?
77
298725
2700
05:01
What were you doing?
78
301515
1260
05:02
Well, I was actually watching a YouTube lesson.
79
302805
3600
05:06
You see what's happening, right?
80
306945
1200
05:08
Watching a lesson, right?
81
308265
1830
05:10
Watching a lesson on YouTube.
82
310545
4080
05:14
Again, we're just putting into practice these steps.
83
314625
3660
05:18
Now who, what, when?
84
318914
2101
05:21
Well, it's Sunday.
85
321344
1111
05:22
Hopefully it's Sunday where you are as well.
86
322575
2250
05:24
But it might be another day for you if you're watching this lesson
87
324825
2610
05:27
later, who, what, when, where?
88
327435
2789
05:30
YouTube, who, what, when, where, Why?
89
330734
4471
05:35
Trying to learn English.
90
335924
3211
05:39
So you see what's happening?
91
339465
1519
05:42
We're using step three to document when, how, where we were, the
92
342045
6830
05:48
situation surrounding the time period when we learned this word.
93
348880
5225
05:54
The word being delicious makes sense, right?
94
354255
2760
05:57
We're creating all of these connections in your brain.
95
357015
3220
06:00
When you are learning a new word, let's see if you can see this.
96
360870
3240
06:04
When you are learning a new word or expression, you need to create
97
364230
4890
06:09
connections in your brain to help your brain remember the word or expression.
98
369300
8669
06:18
This will help you use it.
99
378180
2131
06:20
Later on, yes, if you're watching this lesson, he has a big head, but it's okay.
100
380940
4890
06:27
All right, so step three, five.
101
387210
1949
06:29
Ws again.
102
389469
591
06:30
Who, what, when, where, why?
103
390090
1650
06:31
Talking about the situation.
104
391740
1890
06:33
Describing the situation.
105
393750
1680
06:35
When you learned the word or expression.
106
395550
3030
06:39
Now, step number.
107
399030
1170
06:41
Create unique sentences using it.
108
401145
3810
06:45
Creating three sentences that use the word or expression will
109
405344
5791
06:51
help you organize your thoughts.
110
411135
2160
06:53
This will also create another connection point in your brain
111
413700
4349
06:58
for the new word or expression.
112
418229
2190
07:00
You see, we're putting it into practice immediately.
113
420419
3781
07:04
So again, for our example, we have the word delicious.
114
424289
3930
07:08
So if we are going to for step.
115
428369
2550
07:11
Number four, create three unique sentences using the word delicious.
116
431460
8490
07:20
For example, I can say my mom oi made some delicious food for Thanksgiving, so
117
440010
8250
07:28
I'll write the first example sentence.
118
448265
1825
07:30
All right.
119
450094
500
07:30
So again, I could say my mom, Oh man, that food was good.
120
450719
4111
07:35
Made some delicious.
121
455040
2580
07:37
Food made some delicious food.
122
457950
3270
07:41
Again, You see that we're applying it to our lives.
123
461220
3690
07:46
Some delicious food for Thanksgiving.
124
466005
3570
07:49
This is step number four, helping you never forget what you learn.
125
469575
5669
07:55
So you're gonna make three sentences.
126
475604
2060
07:57
I did one, but let's imagine that I wrote three sentences.
127
477669
3125
08:00
All right, For step number four, now we're practicing.
128
480794
4081
08:04
We're utilizing these steps to help you.
129
484875
2400
08:07
Never forget what you.
130
487275
1560
08:09
Now step number five.
131
489645
1199
08:10
Very interesting.
132
490844
971
08:11
You now need to teach someone what you know, you see teaching someone else.
133
491820
6464
08:18
The English you know will actually help you remember it even more.
134
498284
4261
08:23
This is because you have to organize the information in your head.
135
503115
5400
08:28
Before you teach someone something, before you go to teach someone anything, you must
136
508695
6570
08:35
make sure it's organized in your mind.
137
515270
2034
08:37
So right.
138
517395
500
08:38
We already have our ideas organized.
139
518580
2910
08:41
So step number five is what I'm actually already doing.
140
521490
3810
08:45
Step number five again, is teach someone.
141
525690
3840
08:49
So what you're gonna do, you're gonna find a friend, you're gonna
142
529800
3660
08:53
find a partner, and you're gonna teach that individual what you.
143
533460
4950
08:59
Maybe you learned a different expression or word, maybe
144
539400
3900
09:03
you learned a different idea.
145
543300
2279
09:06
Anything you learn, you're going to teach that to this individual.
146
546160
5419
09:12
Step number five, teach what you learn and you'll never, ever forget
147
552000
6959
09:19
that word or expression if you use each and every one of these steps.
148
559079
6481
09:26
Find, think, write, create, and teach these steps will help you never
149
566310
7470
09:33
forget any word or any expression.
150
573780
2310
09:36

3120
10:17
You still there ? You know what time it is?
159
617025
4260
10:21
It's story time.
160
621464
2821
10:24
Hey, I said it's story time . All right, so today's story always brings
161
624435
7440
10:31
a smile to my face, so growing.
162
631875
3030
10:36
I really had a good childhood.
163
636060
2190
10:38
I had a great time.
164
638339
1020
10:39
I loved school, had a lot of friends.
165
639359
1951
10:41
Home was good, parents were wonderful.
166
641550
1919
10:43
But there are some things about my elementary school and middle school
167
643770
4319
10:48
life that I will never forget.
168
648089
1711
10:50
So when I was in the sixth grade, we had a big class about, I think
169
650130
5160
10:55
there were about 26 of us, 27 of us.
170
655290
2370
10:57
We were a large class.
171
657689
1530
10:59
But something that was very unique about us was the fact that we all hung.
172
659520
3959
11:04
We really enjoyed each other.
173
664470
1590
11:06
We really, Excuse me, something was on my lip.
174
666060
3000
11:09
We really liked hanging out with each other, right?
175
669360
2730
11:12
We would always play at recess together.
176
672180
1890
11:14
We always spent time in class together and we always used to get in trouble
177
674070
5160
11:19
together as well, . So one day we were in class and we were smart.
178
679230
5370
11:24
So we would finish our work early, which means that we would also start talking.
179
684840
4200
11:29
And our teacher, Ms.
180
689670
1814
11:31
Howard, if you're watching this Ms.
181
691484
1860
11:33
Howard, you know how much I love you, Ms.
182
693344
2176
11:35
Howard.
183
695520
360
11:35
So she would always say, do your work and then sit quietly.
184
695880
3300
11:39
We did our work.
185
699989
870
11:40
We followed the first one, the first instruction, but that second instruction
186
700859
4891
11:46
we tried, but we loved to talk.
187
706920
3090
11:50
So we'd finish our work and I'm, I'm guilty too.
188
710579
3000
11:53
I am very guilty.
189
713670
990
11:55
And then we'd start talking.
190
715530
1020
11:56
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
191
716550
1830
11:58
You finished.
192
718620
600
11:59
You finished.
193
719220
500
11:59
And we'd just start chattering.
194
719730
1290
12:01
One day our teacher got upset.
195

Ms.
196
724200
285
12:04
Howard said, Sixth grade, put your pencils down.
197
724485
4125
12:08
And we said, Uhoh.
198
728880
720
12:09
She's mad.
199
729600
960
12:10
She's mad.
200
730560
930
12:11
Like . We weren't laughing, but it was because we weren't bad.
201
731490
3810
12:16
Whenever she would get bad at us or scream, she really loved us, we
202
736030
2990
12:19
would kind of say, Oh, here it comes.
203
739020
1620
12:21
And back in the.
204
741270
600
12:22
Years ago.
205
742920
990
12:24
This is about 34 years ago.
206
744270
3210
12:27
30, 30 ish.
207
747480
750
12:28
30 ish years ago.
208
748230
1050
12:30
The main punishment we would get was to write lines.
209
750030
3900
12:34
Basically, she'd write something on the board and we would have to write
210
754050
3090
12:37
that sentence over and over again.
211
757140
2430
12:39
So typically we'd have to write it 100 times, but she was an English
212
759600
4290
12:43
teacher, so she write a sentence, put a semicolon, and keep writing.
213
763890
4200
12:48
The one sentence would be about this.
214
768210
1830
12:50
Five lines.
215
770700
1050
12:51
So we'd say, Okay.
216
771960
720
12:52
So she, this day she got upset, wrote on the whole board this
217
772680
3390
12:56
long thing we had to write.
218
776070
1740
12:58
So we're sitting there, she finishes writing it on the board
219
778500
3360
13:01
and she says, Take your pencils and papers out and start writing.
220
781860
2970
13:05
So we started writing quietly.
221
785790
1440
13:07
We knew she was upset about 30 minutes into us writing lines.
222
787290
5250
13:12
Some of us were fast and some of us were slow.
223
792810
2760
13:15
I was a fast.
224
795660
870
13:18
So 30 minutes in, Remember I said we had a hard time not talking 30 minutes in.
225
798000
4890
13:22
I don't know if it was my me or somebody else, it might have been me.
226
802890
2760
13:26
Somebody said, Hey, what Nu ? What number are you on?
227
806719
4600
13:31
We had to write it a hundred times.
228
811319
1380
13:33
Somebody out of the blue said, What number are you on?
229
813150
2490
13:35
Just yelled it out in the class.
230
815640
1410
13:37
Somebody responded, I'm on number 35.
231
817500
2099
13:39
What number are you on?
232
819599
990
13:40
I said, I'm on number.
233
820740
599
13:42
What about you?
234
822330
660
13:42
And we just started saying what numbers we were on, and our teacher was
235
822990
3210
13:46
sitting in silence just looking at us.
236
826200
1770
13:48
Okay, Okay.
237
828680
690
13:49
We only have about 45 more.
238
829375
1565
13:51
How many more do you have?
239
831000
1200
13:52
And we're just going back and forth and she stood up and we all got quiet.
240
832320
4470
13:57
We're writing our lines, but we're still talking.
241
837480
2640
14:00
She walked to the front and she looked at us.
242
840870
2760
14:04
She said, Put your pencils down, . It was no use.
243
844395
5580
14:10
She had given us this punishment, but we were still happy because we were
244
850214
3661
14:13
together and we were riding the line.
245
853875
1800
14:15
She said, What kind of punishment is this?
246
855675
1649
14:17
If you guys are still happy?
247
857415
1380
14:19
So we put our pencils down and we were like, Okay, . Now I wanna fast
248
859125
5910
14:25
forward two years because remember I said we weren't bad kids, right?
249
865035
4440
14:29
We just enjoyed talking and we enjoyed being.
250
869475
2010
14:32
. She was our sixth grade teacher.
251
872610
1650
14:35
Fast forward to eighth grade, you know, we're the, the big kids on
252
875640
3179
14:38
campus now we're eighth graders, you know, and we were excited.
253
878819
3211
14:42
We're gonna get a brand new teacher.
254
882035
1375
14:43
She was our sixth grade teacher.
255
883410
1680
14:45
We had a different teacher for seventh grade, and we were excited to
256
885360
2790
14:48
get a new teacher for eighth grade.
257
888150
1500
14:49
Just, you know, exciting.
258
889650
900
14:51
So we were all, you know, coming on, on the, uh, grounds of our school.
259
891180
3690
14:54
And we're walking in, talking to each other, like, yeah,
260
894870
2490
14:57
we're the eighth graders.
261
897360
810
14:58
And we opened the eighth grade classroom door.
262
898950
3870
15:03
And who was sitting at the desk?
263
903690
2400
15:07
Ms.
264
907080
375
15:07
Howard.
265
907455
500
15:08
She said, Hello, eighth grade . Now, I told you we weren't bad kids.
266
908490
7460
15:16
That was proof.
267
916575
1170
15:17
Ms.
268
917745
300
15:18
Howard told us eventually we were her favorite class.
269
918045
3690
15:21
We weren't bad.
270
921945
1170
15:23
We did our work.
271
923235
1080
15:24
We just enjoyed talking, but she enjoyed being with us so much that
272
924320
4825
15:29
she requested to move from the sixth grade to the eighth grade so that
273
929150
4765
15:33
she could teach us one more year.
274
933915
1770
15:36
So she loved us and we honestly loved her.
275
936375
2730
15:39
Maybe when you were younger, you had a teacher that loved you so much and maybe
276
939435
4050
15:43
she acted like she didn't at first, but she ended up really loving you.
277
943485
3510
15:46
Or maybe you had a male teacher, whoever you had.
278
946995
2700
15:49
Remember to always love your teachers.
279
949695
2070
15:51
I hope you enjoyed today's lesson and I hope you enjoyed the story, and
280
951915
3390
15:55
I will talk to you in the next one.
