Tiffani let's jump right in.
5
14700
2550
00:17
All right.
6
17490
420
00:17
Tip number one.
7
17910
1830
00:20
You need to simplify your idea.
8
20445
4710
00:25
This is something that I encourage all of my students to do, and I
9
25575
3900
00:29
want to encourage you as well.
10
29475
1890
00:31
You see simplifying your idea is one of the first keys to speaking
11
31605
4860
00:36
English, like a native English speaker.
12
36465
2310
00:39
Look at point number one in order for your idea to.
13
39135
3990
00:44
For the person listening to you to understand and follow along, you need
14
44040
5040
00:49
to make your idea as simple as possib.
15
49080
3420
00:53
Think about it.
16
53055
690
00:54
I'm teaching you English.
17
54045
1470
00:55
I'm your English teacher.
18
55605
1350
00:57
My goal is to help you master this English language and finally speak English like a
19
57015
5760
01:02
native, but English is very complicated.
20
62775
2910
01:05
So my job is to simplify the ideas, simplify the lessons.
21
65835
6660
01:12
And in order for you to speak like me, you must also do the.
22
72645
4020
01:17
The next thing is you must break your idea down until you
23
77635
4560
01:22
get to the core of your idea.
24
82195
2610
01:25
Think about an apple.
25
85585
1079
01:26
I love apples and I have eaten an apple every day for so many
26
86905
4770
01:31
years because I love apples.
27
91680
2125
01:33
Now.
28
93805
300
01:34
Some days I miss eating the apple, but usually I eat apples.
29
94195
3900
01:38
Now at the center of an apple is a core the center, the main portion of the apple.
30
98335
6540
01:45
So when we say the core of your idea, you want to make sure you're giving
31
105149
4621
01:49
the most important information, figure out what you're trying today
32
109770
5280
01:55
to say, , I'm gonna leave that in and actually deliver that information.
33
115140
5490
02:00
That message to the individual.
34
120690
1860
02:03
Simplify your idea.
35
123805
1520
02:06
And then come up with one simple and impactful statement or sentence.
36
126045
7350
02:14
Remember when you're trying to speak in English like a native, it's important
37
134045
4540
02:18
for you to organize your thoughts.
38
138585
1950
02:20
And as you organize your thoughts, you'll figure out the core of your idea and
39
140715
4530
02:25
you'll figure out the most important thing you need to tell the person listening.
40
145245
4470
02:30
And you should be able to break that down into a simple sentence or statement.
41
150480
5940
02:36
For example, in this lesson, I am teaching you, I'm giving you four
42
156720
4200
02:40
tips that will help you communicate in English like a native English speaker.
43
160920
4890
02:46
One sentence, one statement first simplify.
44
166470
4530
02:51
Your idea makes sense.
45
171030
2050
02:53
Right?
46
173080
320
02:53
Okay.
47
173730
360
02:54
Let's move on to tip number.
48
174180
1860
02:56
Tip number two is you need to prove your idea.
49
176745
5429
03:02
This is something that I love teaching my students, how to
50
182894
3481
03:06
do again, proving your idea.
51
186380
3115
03:09
You need to let the person listening to, you know, that you
52
189555
3480
03:13
actually can support your thoughts.
53
193035
2609
03:15
This is something that many English learners are not
54
195855
3060
03:18
taught in their own countries.
55
198915
1859
03:20
In other courses, in other books or other Institute.
56
200924
3000
03:24
But it's something that native English speakers.
57
204225
2670
03:27
We are taught this in school.
58
207045
1920
03:29
When I was in high school.
59
209055
1110
03:30
When I was in elementary school, when I was in college,
60
210165
2700
03:33
I was taught how to do this.
61
213045
1680
03:34
So this actually helps you support your idea.
62
214845
4770
03:39
And in essence becomes the foundation.
63
219915
3750
03:44
When you are able to support your idea, it literally shows that
64
224070
4350
03:48
you are a fluent English speaker.
65
228420
2580
03:51
You're able to really organize your thoughts and ideas and
66
231090
3390
03:54
communicate well in English.
67
234480
2820
03:57
This also helps you to give clarity.
68
237900
2910
04:01
It gives clarity to your idea.
69
241050
2250
04:03
It makes it clear and easy to understand.
70
243420
3270
04:07
I want you to think about this.
71
247080
1500
04:09
Have you ever been listening to someone?
72
249570
1780
04:11
And they start talking, right.
73
251925
1710
04:13
They're talking to you and you're following along.
74
253635
2160
04:15
But then all of a sudden, instead of hearing words, all you hear is my
75
255945
4420
04:20
mom, my mom, my mom, my mom, my mom.
76
260365
2120
04:23
You don't know what they're talking about.
77
263055
1920
04:25
You know exactly what I'm saying, right?
78
265844
1681
04:27
That happens when a person has not really provided a clear idea and is
79
267945
4830
04:32
not supporting or proving their idea.
80
272775
2370
04:35
Instead, they're talking about random.
81
275355
2130
04:38
Now you as an English learner, in order for you to communicate clearly and
82
278280
4439
04:42
speak like a native English speaker, you must prove your idea because
83
282719
5341
04:48
this will provide clarity for your idea and help the person understand.
84
288060
5070
04:53
It also helps to round out your idea.
85
293730
3660
04:58
It basically comes full circle.
86
298155
2460
05:00
The person listening to you.
87
300885
1350
05:02
Here's your idea then after you prove it, there's this response.
88
302385
4260
05:06
Ah, that makes sense.
89
306825
2250
05:09
Similar to what's happening to you now, as you're watching this English
90
309255
3630
05:12
lesson, I'm breaking this down.
91
312885
1850
05:15
Again, four tips to help you communicate in English and I'm proving it by
92
315190
4560
05:19
giving you different examples by helping you understand the power of
93
319750
4230
05:23
following these tips and tip number two, proving your idea makes sense.
94
323980
6210
05:30
Right?
95
330195
385
05:30
Okay.
96
330820
390
05:31
Let's move on to tip number three.
97
331300
2669
05:34
This is very important.
98
334450
1649
05:36
Connect your idea to an emotion.
99
336700
5070
05:42
This is another one that I.
100
342070
1649
05:44
So native English speakers, we have been taught our entire lives throughout
101
344805
6480
05:51
school, and even in adulthood, how to connect our lives to any topic, how
102
351285
5970
05:57
to connect our emotions to any topic.
103
357260
3115
06:00
This is a part of speaking clearly in English, communicating in English and
104
360645
5130
06:05
speaking English like a native, for example, before I get to this point,
105
365775
3690
06:10
what do I do at the end of each English?
106
370305
2370
06:13
You know, story time ache, right?
107
373650
4829
06:18
And you look forward to the stories I tell you, right at the end of the lessons,
108
378840
4199
06:23
I'm connecting to you with an emotion.
109
383310
3210
06:26
The story is either a happy story or a sad story, or an inspirational story.
110
386580
5040
06:31
I'm connecting the lesson to an emotion for you in order to
111
391830
5399
06:37
communicate in English, you need to connect your idea to an emotion.
112
397229
5341
06:43
This is important.
113
403290
870
06:44
Point one, this is important because your idea will stay in the
114
404160
4920
06:49
listener's mind if they care about it.
115
409085
3385
06:53
For example, I know that you get frustrated when you're not able to express
116
413340
4110
06:57
yourself like a native English speaker.
117
417450
2280
07:00
I know you get sad or upset when you're trying to speak in English
118
420060
3750
07:03
and the words just won't come out.
119
423810
2310
07:06
I understand.
120
426330
1020
07:08
So when I'm teaching you in English, when I'm teaching you English in English, I
121
428010
5039
07:13
am aware of what you are going through because I went through the same thing when
122
433049
4170
07:17
I was studying Korean, just right there.
123
437219
2431
07:20
When I told you just now that I experienced the same thing
124
440175
3750
07:23
you are experiencing right now, suddenly there was this connection.
125
443925
3660
07:28
Ah, Tiffani understands me.
126
448005
1530
07:30
I can follow her lessons because she knows what I'm going through.
127
450225
3330
07:33
I connected my lesson, my idea to an emotion.
128
453735
4140
07:38
When you do this, you will become a better communicator in English and start
129
458190
4770
07:42
sounding like a native English speaker.
130
462960
2130
07:45
The next thing is when someone cares about something, when the person
131
465599
4531
07:50
listening to you cares about what you're saying, they pay attention to it more.
132
470130
5400
07:56
Why do you watch my English lessons?
133
476070
1950
07:58
Because there's a connection I've never met you in person, but
134
478169
3841
08:02
there's this connection we have.
135
482010
1709
08:04
And that connection leads you to come back and watch these lessons because I truly
136
484485
4830
08:09
care about you and you recognize that, Hey teacher, Tiffani really cares about me
137
489315
5610
08:14
and wants to help me improve my English.
138
494925
2400
08:17
There's a connection.
139
497565
1080
08:19
This is all part of speaking English, like a native communicating clearly
140
499155
6170
08:25
and well, and effectively in English.
141
505485
3240
08:29
The other thing is by connecting your idea.
142
509265
3630
08:33
To the listeners emotions.
143
513465
2310
08:35
You inadvertently answer the why question in their mind.
144
515895
5100
08:40
It should say the not, they, the why question in their mind, think about this.
145
520995
5580
08:47
When you're speaking to someone, you're explaining something to them, right.
146
527265
4170
08:51
You're helping them understand your idea and your emotions.
147
531439
3625
08:55
Well, when you're doing that, the person as they're listening to you, the moment
148
535860
4410
09:00
you connect to their emotions, the moment you realize, Hey, this is what
149
540270
5010
09:05
they're feeling and you connect to them.
150
545280
1770
09:07
They want to listen more and you're answering the question in their head.
151
547290
4140
09:11
Why should I listen to this individual?
152
551610
2070
09:13
Why should I spend my time with this individual listening to them?
153
553980
4140
09:18
When you answer that by connecting to their emotions, everything goes much.
154
558630
5730
09:25
So again, three tip number three, connect your idea to an emotion.
155
565064
6121
09:31
Now tip number four is just as important.
156
571635
3059
09:34
Tip number four, share your examples for your idea.
157
574964
5730
09:40
Again, share your examples for your idea.
158
580755
3180
09:45
Earlier, we talked about proving your idea.
159
585165
2340
09:47
Now you're gonna give examples.
160
587985
1950
09:49
You're basically painting this picture in the mind of the person, listening to you.
161
589935
5009
09:55
They get to see your idea in their mind, in their imagination, right?
162
595185
4410
09:59
So this is important because your story or experience makes your idea more.
163
599805
6259
10:06
When I talk to you about my experience in Korea, studying
164
606655
3689
10:10
Korean and learning Korean, all of a sudden my lessons become more
165
610344
3901
10:14
real.
166
614245
465
10:14
Ah, Tiffani is not just
167
614710
2325
10:17
making this up.
168
617035
1080
10:18
She's experienced it before she's helping me.
169
618265
2939
10:21
And she's explaining or talking about her personal experience for you.
170
621204
4921
10:26
Tip number four, when you share examples for your idea, you're sharing
171
626305
5370
10:31
your personal experience, which also helps the person connect to.
172
631675
4230
10:36
Another thing when someone hears your story, they may also
173
636765
4740
10:41
think about your idea more.
174
641505
2280
10:44
You're giving them more things to connect to you, give them a story in their mind.
175
644670
4680
10:49
You give them your ideas, you prove your ideas.
176
649350
2550
10:51
And now you're giving examples and all of these things are working in their brain.
177
651900
4260
10:56
As you're talking and they're paying attention to you more, you're
178
656160
3720
10:59
communicating better in English, share your experiences, share your
179
659885
6145
11:06
examples, that connect to your.
180
666030
1650
11:08
And point number three, by connecting your story, to your idea, your
181
668905
5000
11:14
personal experience, like story time, you actually help the listener,
182
674365
4580
11:19
understand it even more than before.
183
679185
2610
11:22
When you tell stories that are connected to the topic, when you tell
184
682185
3900
11:26
stories that help your idea, be a bit more clear, the person listening to
185
686085
5370
11:31
you will literally understand even.
186
691455
3480
11:36
Here's the thing you want to speak English like a native English speaker.
187
696180
3870
11:40
You want to communicate clearly in English.
188
700290
2399
11:42
It's not just about the words you learn or the expressions you learn.
189
702750
3900
11:46
It's really about how you communicate, how you express your
190
706770
4410
11:51
ideas and how you think in English.
191
711180

It's story time.
201
756615
2790
12:39
Hey, I said it's story time.
202
759675
2910
12:43
All right.
203
763005
450
12:43
So today's story.
204
763635

12:45
I'm going to connect to you, right?

765525
2640
12:48
I'm going to give you an example.
206
768195
2130
12:50
I'm going to actually connect an emotion.
207
770325
2730
12:53
So I mentioned earlier that as an English learner, Sometimes you get frustrated.
208
773685
4770
12:58
Sometimes you really get upset because you're not able
209
778815
3000
13:01
to express yourself clearly.
210
781815
1410
13:03
Right.
211
783225
390
13:04
And sometimes you also feel nervous.
212
784065
2580
13:07
I want to tell you about a time.
213
787065
1890
13:09
I felt nervous speaking in English.
214
789075
3330
13:12
So I actually, this is when I was.
215
792945
3900
13:17
In college.
216
797905
949
13:19
I was asked to give a sermon at my church.
217
799185
3389
13:22
Now I don't have any problems speaking up front.
218
802694
3211
13:25
I don't have stage fright.
219
805935
1470
13:27
I've never had stage fright and this is something that's a blessing from God.
220
807435
3389
13:30
Right.
221
810824
270
13:31
I understand that many people have stage fright and are scared to stand up in
222
811099
4345
13:35
public in front of others and speak.
223
815444
1711
13:37
Um, but I don't have that fear.
224
817454
1561
13:39
So I said, okay, I'll definitely speak.
225
819314
2400
13:41
I'll I'll give the sermon at church.
226
821714
2250
13:44
So I did my research.
227
824295
1920
13:46
I studied, I went through the Bible.
228
826215
1859
13:48
I found a topic.
229
828074
1171
13:49
I had my notes and everything was organized and I was praying.
230
829245
3480
13:52
I wanted to make sure the holy spirit moved as I gave the sermon.
231
832875
3750
13:57
So I prepared for a while and I had everything written out, EV all of my
232
837105
3930
14:01
bullet points, everything was organized.
233
841035
2190
14:03
Right.
234
843225
420
14:04
And the morning that I was supposed to give the sermon, I woke up early.
235
844245
3660
14:08
I rehearsed, I practiced, looked in the mirror, made sure everything was.
236
848115
3930
14:13
. And as I was practicing, all of a sudden, my stomach began to turn
237
853320
5820
14:19
like knots were in my stomach.
238
859140
2310
14:21
It felt like my intestines were just turning.
239
861990
3120
14:25
And my stomach made me ke over.
240
865320
2040
14:27
I bent over and said, oh my goodness, something's wrong?
241
867660
2310
14:30
And I told my mindset, something's going on?
242
870570
2100
14:32
Like, my stomach is killing me.
243
872670
1620
14:34
I ran to the bathroom.
244
874590
1260
14:35
I, I came back to my room.
245
875970
1320
14:37
My stomach kept bothering me and I didn't know what was going on.
246
877290
3660
14:42
I realized that I was nervous.
247
882510
2880
14:46
I was nervous because the message that I was going to
248
886140
2670
14:48
preach was a very deep message.
249
888810
2460
14:51
It was a message that would not be easy to deliver.
250
891449
3451
14:54
It was deep, but it was not an easy message to deliver.
251
894930
2910
14:57
And without realizing it, I had started to get nervous.
252
897960
3900
15:02
So I prayed.
253
902400
660
15:03
I said, God, I need you to help me because I'm extremely nervous right now.
254
903060
3420
15:06
And when you're nervous, you're not able to think.
255
906540
2310
15:09
You've been there before, right.
256
909660
1020
15:10
As an English learner.
257
910680
1080
15:11
When you're nervous words, don't just come out.
258
911880
2550
15:14
Right.
259
914430
240
15:14
They don't come out the way you'd like them to come out.
260
914700
2100
15:16
You're not able to communicate clearly.
261
916920
2190
15:19
So I prayed and I, I got to church, I went to the pastor's office, you know,
262
919800
4320
15:24
we, we went through the preliminaries of praying and getting everyone together.
263
924120
3870
15:27
And then we walked into the church and I was still praying,
264
927990
2520
15:30
Lord, I need you to help me.
265
930510
1440
15:32
This nervousness came out of nowhere, but Lord, I need you to help me.
266
932340
3690
15:36
The service was going on.
267
936705
1230
15:37
We had music, we had announcements, we had prayer, everything was going on and I was
268
937935
4050
15:41
still praying throughout the entire time.
269
941985
1740
15:44
And then it was my turn to go to the pulpit, to the
270
944565
4110
15:48
front, to deliver the sermon.
271
948675
1740
15:51
And as soon as I stood up at the pulpit, I could feel God's
272
951105
4080
15:55
presence and I immediately was calm and I preached the sermon.
273
955185
5340
16:00
And the sermon went well, praise God, everyone was blessed.
274
960975
2700
16:03
People came up to me afterwards and said, man, that sermon was amazing.
275
963675
3240
16:06
It was from God, not from TIFF.
276
966915
1710
16:09
But the point is when I was nervous, I wasn't able to think clearly,
277
969285
4260
16:14
but the moment I calmed down, everything started to go smoothly.
278
974175
6390
16:21
So for you as an English learner, you're going to have moments when you feel
279
981165
3600
16:24
frustrated, when you feel nervous and when you are not able to say what you like to.
280
984765
4230
16:29
In those moments, stop, calm down and then start again.
281
989655
5280
16:35
It's amazing how, when you are calm, you are able to speak and
282
995505
3960
16:39
communicate in English so much better.
283
999470
2695
16:42
Hope you enjoyed this story, and I will talk to you in the next lesson.
