MASTER ENGLISH FLUENCY WITH THESE 7 PROVEN TECHNIQUES

Hey, in this week's lesson, I'm going to teach you seven proven techniques that

will help you master your English fluency.

And we're going to look at it over a seven day period, each day of the

week, what you need to do to truly master these seven proven techniques.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

All right.

Technique number one, listen to English media.

Basically you need to watch TV shows, movies, news, broadcasts,

and podcasts in English to immerse yourself in the language.

Choose a variety of genres and topics to expose yourself to

different vocabulary and topics.

The goal is for you to master English fluency.

And the very first technique you must use is to watch and listen to

media, but it must be English media.

Why is this so beneficial?

You see, it improves your listening skills.

And it helps you understand different accents and slang

and provides cultural insights.

So the very first thing you must do is start to watch more English media.

So if we're looking at your week, let's start with Sunday.

We can write right here.

Watch English media.

Now, again, you can choose the amount of time.

Many times people have busy schedules.

So maybe you work eight hours a day and get home and have to take care of your

family and you're too tired to watch.

To study for an hour, that is totally okay.

Remember these techniques are important, but you can choose the amount of time

that you actually put them into practice.

So let's say on Sundays you have 30 minutes.

So on Sundays, you spend 30 minutes watching English media.

What about the second technique, this second technique that will help

you improve your English fluency.

Read extensively, read extensively.

You have to read a lot in English.

If you are going to improve your English fluency, let me explain this one.

You need to read a wide range of materials, including books,

articles, newspapers, and blogs.

Pick genres and subjects that interest you to make reading enjoyable and diverse.

This is very important.

You see, as an English learner, you have your own interests outside of English.

Now it's time to connect the two, your English learning and your interests.

This is why this technique, reading extensively is so important.

Here's the benefits you'll experience.

This Enhancing your vocabulary and comprehension because it introduces

you to different writing styles and improves your overall language.

Proficiency.

Exactly.

So I want you to think about it like this.

Imagine on Monday, Monday.

Now we're focusing on reading extensively.

So let's say on Monday, you decide to find a blog or find an article in a

magazine that is written in English, but is actually, let's do this extensively.

That is actually related to your interests.

Let's write that down.

It needs to be related.

To your interest, maybe you like cooking, maybe you like athletics, maybe you

like technology, whatever you enjoy.

Make sure on Monday, you're reading something about that topic.

Now, Monday is the start of the work week.

So maybe you don't have a lot of time to read.

So on Sunday, you spent 30 minutes doing what watching

English media on Monday, maybe.

You only have 20 minutes or 15 minutes.

So let's put that down 15.

To 20 minutes.

Remember techniques are important, but you can choose the amount of

time you spend on each technique.

So we have technique number two, read extensively.

Now we move on to technique.

Number three technique.

Number three is also important.

Practice speaking daily, practice speaking daily.

And don't worry when we get back to our daily plan, I'll explain

how you can do this one as well.

Here's the description of this technique.

Engage in daily conversations with native speakers or fellow learners.

Use language exchange apps or online communities to find conversation partners.

This is very important.

You need to start speaking a lot.

In a lesson I did a few weeks back, I spoke about how you can practice

English, even when you are alone.

So this is where we're going to see our plan coming into place.

All right, speaking daily.

So let's do it like this on Sunday, because we said daily, let's add the plus

symbol right here, and let's just write.

Speak since we said daily, let's write it for Monday, and we're going to do

the same thing for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday through Saturday.

Remember this technique is important for you to utilize each and every day.

However, since we're on the third technique, we want

Tuesday to be the real focus.

All right.

So I wrote it right here, but I am actually going to move it up.

I'm going to write, speak aloud.

All right.

We want to speak out loud now for this one.

We also want to have 15 to 20 minutes.

All right, 15 to 20 minutes, but what about the ones on the other

days that we added at the bottom?

What we're going to do is put five minutes for each of those.

Again, these techniques are going to help you start speaking English.

More fluently, these techniques will change your English and

improve your English very quickly.

All right.

So we have now our three days so far are done Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday.

Now, what is the benefit of technique?

Number three, the benefit of speaking aloud daily, it improves speaking

fluency, and it improves your English.

And confidence, it helps you practice pronunciation.

Yes.

And it allows you to use new vocabulary and grammar structures in context.

Again, this daily practice is what's going to help you master English.

Fluency.

Now we have the first three techniques.

It's time for us now to go to the fourth technique.

Technique number four is to write regularly, write regularly.

Listen, keeping a daily journal, writing essays, or starting a blog in English.

Write about various topics to practice different vocabulary and writing styles.

Write regularly.

Now, remember we're breaking this down over a seven day period, right?

So you will be doing this regularly, but you're going to be writing

specifically on Wednesdays.

So let's write this down, right?

All right.

And I'm going to put right.

In a journal.

All right.

So you might want to buy a journal.

Okay.

Having this journal with you so that you can start expanding your

English vocabulary, your ability to create good sentences in English.

You want to write in a journal.

And again, we're spending this 15 to 20 minute time period.

Remember it's totally okay.

For you to change the time.

All right.

But again, write in a journal on Wednesdays.

All right.

This is technique.

Number four, what is the benefit you see writing in a journal regularly enhances

writing skills, reinforces grammar, and provides a platform to express

your thoughts and ideas in writing.

In English, let's take a look once again at our setup so far, watch English media.

What are we doing right here?

When we are watching English media, we are actually doing

what we are putting things in.

All right.

Let's see if you can see that good.

Let's change the color really quickly for those watching.

You're putting things into your mind.

All right, you're putting things in.

All right, read extensively.

What are we doing?

We're putting things in, into our brain, right?

Speak aloud, putting things out, out of your brain, right?

In the journal out, letting things come out of your brain.

Right?

So we have in input and output.

Input and output.

All right.

So again, number four is writing regularly, which is what?

Yes.

Output.

Excellent.

Excellent job.

All right.

Now I want us to go to technique number five technique.

Number five is listen.

For context clues, listen for context clues.

In other words, pay attention to the surrounding words and sequences or

sentences when you encounter unfamiliar vocabulary in spoken or written English.

I'm going to say this one more time, pay attention to the surrounding words

and sentences when you encounter.

Unfamiliar vocabulary in spoken or written English.

Now, what is the benefit of this?

Now, again, we're looking for context clues.

If I've watched a television program, if I've listened to a podcast, if I've

read a book in English and I see a word or hear a word that's unfamiliar.

That I didn't understand or see something I don't understand.

I have to focus on the before and the after to guess that words meaning.

Why is this important?

It enhances comprehension and teaches you to infer meanings from context.

So how can we put this on our schedule for the week again,

listening for context clues.

All right.

So now we're on Thursday.

Let's write this down.

Listen for context.

All right.

Listen for context clues.

That means you can choose to either watch a television program, Or

listen to a podcast, the choice is yours, or even watch a movie.

But I'm going to say this.

I want you to at least look for three new words and you want

to guess the context, right?

Guess the meaning based on the context.

All right, again, this should take 15 to 20 minutes.

Again, you can listen to a podcast, you can watch a television program.

You can even read an article, but search for three new words.

And you're going to guess the meaning of each word based on the

context, what happened before the word and what happened after the

word again, listening for context.

Clues.

This is technique number five.

What about technique?

Number six, record yourself speaking.

Record yourself speaking.

You're going to record your speech and listen to it critically.

Compare your pronunciation and intonation with native speakers

and note areas for improvement.

This is your assessment day.

You're assessing yourself.

Remember we have so far Sunday and Monday input Tuesday and

Wednesday output Thursday listening.

This is also.

Input putting information in now we're on Friday.

You're assessing yourself.

This is output and you are assessing.

All right, let's just put assess right here.

You're assessing yourself.

So what is the technique called again?

Record yourself speaking.

All right.

So let's write that down.

Record your self.

So we're going to put record and assess yourself.

Now you're outputting and you're assessing, you're analyzing.

Ooh, I like that word even better.

So instead of assess, we are going to write analyze.

All right, let's go back.

Make sure this line is here and I'm going to write analyze.

I like that better because you're really seeing how well you're

doing and what you need to fix.

So output and analyzing yourself.

Now, this one output 15 to 20 minutes, but if you have extra

time, you can add extra time.

All right.

So again, what do we have input on Sunday input on Monday, output

on Tuesday, output on Wednesday.

Input on Thursday and then output and analyzing on Friday.

Again, what is the benefit of recording yourself speaking?

Here's the benefit.

It helps you identify.

Correct and correct pronunciation and grammatical errors.

This provides self assessment opportunities and builds your confidence.

This is why it's so important for you to make sure you do this technique.

Technique number six, again, we're looking at Friday, right?

Output and analyzing.

So what is technique number seven, another important technique,

technique number seven, watch with subtitles, watch with subtitles.

In other words, watch English videos with English subtitles to aid

understanding and improve reading and listening skills simultaneously.

Now for this one, it's really a fun day, right?

You're just sitting and you have the subtitles on.

You don't have to take notes.

You don't have to write anything down.

Just take it all in and enjoy, find a movie or a TV

program that you really enjoy.

Once again, this technique is watch with subtitles.

So for Saturday, this is your relaxing day, your rest day, find a program.

And what you're going to do is again, watch with subtitles.

Subtitles again, watch with subtitles.

I'm going to put this here.

This is your fun day.

All right, just enjoy this.

So instead of it being only 15 to 20 minutes, it is totally up to you.

I'm going to put 15 to let's say 60 minutes, right?

Again, you can decide up with the star here as well.

You can decide.

Don't forget though, at the bottom.

We have the speak portion that has been added to each day, an extra five

minutes, right, right underneath.

Okay.

So again, Saturday, it is an input day.

But it's a fun input day.

You're not having to really study too hard.

Now this technique, what is the benefit?

The benefit is it helps with understanding spoken language, reinforces vocabulary,

and improves your comprehension of different accents and speech patterns.

We're trying to help you speak English fluently.

I'm trying to help you achieve your English goals, and these

techniques will get you to your goal.

So again, for the week.

Sunday to Saturday, you have what you need to do each day in order

to improve your English fluency.

Just follow this pattern and repeat and watch your English fluency improve.

I hope you enjoyed this lesson and I'll talk to you in the next one.

You still there?

You know what time it is.

It's story time.

Hey, I said, it's story time.

All right.

So today I taught you all about the techniques you need to follow,

the pattern you need to follow in order to speak English fluently.

And we talked about this seven day pattern.

Well, I remember another pattern that I had to follow when I was in South Korea.

This was a physical action that I had to take.

Over and over and over and over again.

You see, it was my first time going to Sarak mountain.

That is one of the most beautiful mountains in my opinion, in the

world, but one of the most beautiful mountains in Korea, and it was my

first time going to the mountain and I went with a group of friends.

We rented out basically an Airbnb.

Airbnb didn't exist back then, but it was similar.

We rented a big house and there were about, I think it was

like eight of us that went.

So on the day that we had to do the hike, only four of us,

including myself, decided to go.

It was going to be an aggressive hike.

We were told that it would take between six to eight hours.

To get up and back down the mountain.

That's a lot of hiking, but again, I love being outdoors.

I love nature.

So it was myself and three other guys, the other ladies, they stayed back,

um, at the home that we had rented.

So I remember we got to the mountain and we're walking and the repetitive

action that I had to do over and over again was lifting my leg.

Over and over and over again.

Imagine doing multiple lunges over and over and over again, or multiple squats,

because we were going up a mountain rocks.

And it was when we got almost to the top.

It was super steep, right?

There were ropes just to make sure no one fell down.

And I remember having to tell myself, just keep going one more step, one

more step, because my legs were aching.

There were hundreds of people going up the mountain, right?

So you have to keep moving.

People are behind you.

People are in front of you.

You have to keep moving, even though it hurt.

Why am I telling you this?

Because we did make it to the top and I had no regrets.

No regrets.

I'm telling you this because you as well are climbing a mountain.

You're trying to achieve your English goal, English fluency.

And sometimes it does get challenging.

Sometimes you might feel like you are being overloaded and overwhelmed,

and you might feel like you want to stop, but you have to keep going.

Repetitive motion, repetitive movement, one foot in front of the other.

That is why I showed you this pattern today in our lesson, seven days, just keep

following the pattern every single day.

And I promise you, just like I got to the top of the mountain, you'll reach

the top of your mountain as well.

I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
