7 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH NOW

Hey, are you tired of being stuck at the same English level?

Do you want to improve your English and speak with more confidence

than today's lesson is for you?

I'm going to give you seven ways to improve your English right now.

You ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani, let's jump right in.

All right.

Way number one.

Watch English movies and tv.

That's right.

You have to watch English movies and TV shows.

Let me explain.

You see, watching movies, English movies and TV shows

is a great way to immediately.

Immediately start improving your English.

This can be a fun and engaging way to improve your listening

skills and pick up new vocabulary.

Remember to watch movies and shows that you find interesting.

Now, I'm gonna give you three reasons why this is so amazing.

But I wanna tell you this.

You see, I learned to speak Korean, so I understand the struggles that

you go through trying to learn a new language, trying to speak

like a native English speaker.

It can be challenging.

And along your English journey, you have studied many books.

You have written lots of essays, or written lots of things in English,

and sometimes you get overwhelmed.

You might get boring, but this way, this method will not only

help you learn a lot, but help you.

Finally enjoy the process.

I did the same thing when I was learning to speak Korean.

I watched tons of English, excuse me, Korean dramas, . I started

thinking about English, right, because I'm teaching you English.

But no, I watched tons of Korean dramas and I was so immersed with the dramas.

I loved what they were talking about, and I was learning natural.

New Korean words, new Korean expressions, and you can do the same thing following

this method, following this way, again, watching English movies and TV shows.

Here's the first reason.

This will help you improve your listening skills as you're learning English.

Yes, your goal is to speak English fluently.

In order to speak fluently.

Though you must improve your listening skills, so doing this will

help you improve your listening.

Second, as you watch, you will also pick up new vocabulary and

expressions that are used in real life.

That's the key.

You may have tons of English books with wonderful vocabulary words,

wonderful expressions, and that's great.

But sometimes the words you learn from books are not used in real life.

. But when you watch English movies and TV shows, you will learn the words and

expressions that are used in real life.

The third reason why this way is so important is you will learn about

different accents and cultures.

You see, I live in America.

America is a huge.

And someone from the East coast, I'm from the East Coast, sounds

different from someone from the south.

Deep south we have different accents.

There are different aspects as well of our culture, even though we are Americans.

So when you watch English movies, when you watch English television shows and

dramas, you will understand new accents.

You'll understand little parts of cultures that are found in different parts of.

This is why it's so beneficial to watch English movies and English TV shows.

Make sense?

All right, let's go to number two, the second way.

Read English books and articles, English books and articles.

So this is one of the most effective ways to improve your English.

It can be a relaxing way to learn many new things, but remember to read

things that you are interested in.

I wanna focus on this part before I explain the three reasons or

give you the three reasons you don't just want to read everything.

There are tons of books, tons of books that you can choose from,

but if you really want to improve your English, speak English better.

You heard me right?

Reading helps you speak better.

You need to find books about topics you are interested in.

. If you like cooking, read cooking books.

If you like love stories, find a book that talks about great love stories, right?

If you enjoy learning about different technologies, find a

book that talks about technology.

Make sure you're finding books and articles written in

English that are about topics.

You my friend, are already interested.

Here's the first reason why.

As you read, your comprehension and critical thinking skills

will naturally start to improve.

This is amazing.

First of all, you are amazing.

You speak your own language and you're learning another language.

You're already amazing.

Your brain is awesome.

So as you read things in English, your brain will start processing the

information, improving your critical thinking skills and your comprehension.

The second reason why this way is so important.

Each book and each article you read will help you learn new vocabulary.

I love helping the students that are in my academy.

I have an academy speak English, Tiffani Academy.

The link is right.

Each student as they're learning with me, they realize, wait a minute, TIFF,

I'm learning new vocabulary words.

Wait a minute, TIFF, I'm learning new expressions via the video lessons, via the

the, uh, uh, the articles or the eBooks.

They're learning new things naturally as they go through lessons, and

the same thing will happen for you as you read books and articles.

You'll learn new vocabulary naturally.

Finally.

This will also help your grammar improve in a natural way.

Man, this has happened so many times.

Students have come to me, they wanted me to be their teacher.

They joined my academy.

They said, TIFF, I wanna improve my English.

I wanna improve my grammar.

I said, Hey, I don't teach grammar, but your grammar will improve.

They kind of look at me if we're on a video call or they say in an email,

like, how does that, how does that work?

I said, don't worry, just trust.

A few months down the line, their grammar has improved.

This is what happens when you read English books.

When you read articles, the exact same thing will happen.

Your grammar will improve.

Why?

Because your brain is still processing the information.

It's processing the patterns that it's finding.

As you're reading through these articles and books, your

grammar will naturally improve.

Way number two, read English books and articles.

What about way number?

Listen to English music.

This is effective.

Now you know that I love music.

I'll actually, you know what, before I give you the breakdown, I'm gonna give

you a short song, real, you know what?

No.

Stay till the end.

During story time, I'll give you a song.

All right.

Here's the breakdown.

Listening to English music is a way to learn English without any stress.

It can be a nice break from your usual study routine.

Remember though to listen to music that you like.

to it, making sure it has English lyrics.

Reason number.

do this for us during class.

They would play Korean.

And we'd hear new words, we'd hear new idioms.

It's a very natural and stress free way to improve your English.

And finally, the reason why this is such a good way, you will also learn

interesting things about American culture as you listen to the words of the songs.

Songs tell stories, so you can improve your English as you are listening.

So don't forget, listen to English.

the fourth way.

Very important way, practice writing in English.

This is also very important.

You see, writing in English will give you the opportunity to organize your thoughts

and process information in English.

This can be a great way to connect English to your daily.

Processing your thoughts, organizing your thoughts, thinking about

your day and writing it down.

This can help you improve your English.

Reason number.

. As you practice writing in English, your grammar will also improve.

Remember, we talked about it in the previous way.

Again, understanding the importance of reading a lot, you're learning patterns.

Then when you go to write, your brain will naturally say, Hey, we learned

this pattern when you were reading that book or that article now apply.

Use that pattern as you write about your day.

Again, as you write and practice writing in English, your grammar will also.

Second reason, the more you write in English, the more your ability to think

critically in English will also improve.

Your critical thinking skills are super important.

a way to track and record your progress.
