THINK AND SPEAK ENGLISH | Master The Art Of Thinking And Speaking English Like An American

In today's lesson, I am going to teach you once again the five W's method,

who, what, when, where, and why.

This simple method has helped thousands upon thousands of English

learners finally start speaking English like a native English speaker.

They're able to think in English and speak fluently about their ideas,

and you will be able to do the same.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

Now, this simple method can be applied to any topic.

I want us to start with this one right here.

Imagine someone asked you, what did your friend do this morning?

To be honest, a very simple question, right?

Hey, what did your friend do this morning?

But in order for you to answer this like a native English speaker,

to give a fluent response in English, you must use the five Ws.

So let's start with the first one, who, let's say your friend's name is.

Sarah what?

Sarah went to the gym.

I'm not gonna lie to you this morning, I also went to the

gym and I feel rejuvenated.

All right, we'll give that to Sarah though.

Again, we're answering the who, what, when, where, and why.

Questions.

Here we go.

What about the when, this morning, where in her neighborhood?

Why?

To stay fit and healthy.

Now, at this point we have answered each of the five Ws, who, Sarah, what

went to the gym when this morning, where in her neighborhood, why

she wants to stay fit and healthy.

Very simple pieces of information, right?

I'm sure you understood each and every piece of information.

So how can we turn this into a fluent English response, A response that any

native English speaker would give easily?

Here's what it would look like using the five Ws we just organized.

This morning, Sarah decided to prioritize her health and fitness by

heading to the gym in her neighborhood.

Now, don't worry, I'm gonna teach you the new words as well.

Let's continue.

She told me that she went because she wants to stay fit and healthy.

She understands the importance of exercise for both physical and mental

wellbeing, and is committed to making it a regular part of her routine.

Each of the five Ws is found in this response.

When you are able to organize your thoughts using the five Ws, you

will also be able to give a response like a native English speaker.

Each piece of information is found in this response.

Now I want to quickly break down some of the words and the expressions.

First, the word.

Prioritize.

Excellent.

Again, prioritize.

Great job.

Now, this just means, there we go, right here to determine the order for

dealing with a series of items or tasks according to their relative importance.

For example, you might have five tasks to complete today at your job.

But you know, writing the report is the most important one.

You must finish first, so you are prioritizing, again, determining

the order for dealing with a series of items or tasks, a, according

to their relative importance.

Now I'm teaching you this word, I'm giving you the definition, but don't forget to

download the app English with Tiffani.

After this lesson, you can go and practice what I am teaching you.

The new words, the new expressions, and yes, even what you're seeing

as we go through the five W.

So don't forget to download the English with Tiffani app.

The link is in the description you'll see for today's lesson, so you

can practice what you're learning.

All right.

Now, what about this next word?

This next expression heading to.

Good.

Again, heading to great job, I said heading to the gym.

Heading to actually just means moving or traveling towards a particular place.

Or direction.

Hey, you know that I love Indian food, but I also love Mexican food,

and there's a Mexican restaurant not too far from my office.

So around lunchtime I'm going to head to the Mexican restaurant.

I'm going to move towards the restaurant going in that direction.

You caught it right?

Excellent.

In English, we say heading to or head to a certain place or in a certain direction.

What about this one though?

She wants to stay fit and healthy.

What does fit mean?

So after me first, repeat, after me fit, excellent.

Again, fit.

Great job Last time after me Fit.

Nice.

Now, this just means being in good physical condition or health.

In English we say fit.

Being in good physical condition, I was actually just

talking to one of my friends.

Our family are very close and I was looking at some pictures of

him when he was extremely muscular.

He was really.

Fit his body.

I couldn't honestly see any fat on his body and he was telling me what he

went through in order to get so fit.

So again, being in good physical condition or health in English, we say fit.

Maybe you're fit right now.

Here we go next.

Wellbeing.

Good again, wellbeing.

Great job.

Now, this just means the state of being comfortable, healthy, and happy, wellbeing

mentally, physically, you feel good.

I think I right now have a good feeling.

I'm experiencing, uh, good vibes.

I'm experiencing good health.

You can tell.

I'm trying to show you right.

Hey, mentally healthy, physically healthy.

Again, like she said, for both physical and mental wellbeing.

That's why she exercises.

That's also one of the reasons why I exercise.

It really helps your mental wellbeing.

You caught it.

Excellent.

So again, we see we use the five Ws.

To give this response an answer to the question, what did

your friend do this morning?

And you see we have heading to prioritize, fit and wellbeing,

new words and expressions.

Don't forget, again, in order for you to practice, you must download the app

English with Tiffani right after

this lesson.

Go to the app and practice what I am teaching you right now.

Okay?

The link is right in the description.

Now what if somebody asks you?

This question, why did Michael buy a new car?

Simple question, right?

Hey, why did Michael buy a new car?

You might say, He wanted one.

That is a correct answer.

But remember, we're trying to get you to speak like a native English

speaker to speak English fluently.

So what do we need to do?

You got it To apply the five Ws.

Who, what, when, where, and why.

So the question, why did Michael buy a new car?

So we have who?

Michael, what?

Bought a new car.

When last week.

Where?

At a dealership.

Why?

Because his old car was no longer reliable.

So we have each piece of information that we need, who, what, when, where, and what.

Very simple pieces of information.

I want you to pay attention to the fact that the five W's

method is actually very simple.

Michael bought a new car last week at a dealership because his

old car was no longer reliable.

Now, how can we turn this into a response, a fluent English response?

Check it out.

Here we go.

Michael bought a new car last week from a dealership already starting off good.

His old car was no longer reliable, so he decided it was time for an upgrade.

Michael is excited about his new purchase and feels more confident knowing he

has a reliable means of transportation.

That is an amazing response.

Again, using the five Ws that we organized and you understand them.

This is how you are able to give a fluent English response when you use the five Ws.

Very simple, but it creates a very good response.

Now in this response, just like last time, you'll see that there

is a new word and a new expression.

The word is reliable.

Good again after me.

Reliable.

Excellent.

Last time after me.

Reliable.

Great job.

Now this just means consistently good in quality or

performance, able to be trusted.

Make sense?

Now I'm gonna use an example, and I hope you agree with me.

I think I am a reliable English teacher.

I think my YouTube channel speak

English with Tiffani is a reliable

YouTube channel.

I.

Why?

Because each week, every Sunday, I consistently upload an English lesson.

I hope the quality meets your standards.

I hope you enjoy the lessons.

I think my channel is a reliable English channel.

Do you agree?

You can answer.

I can hear you.

Thank you very much.

So you understand the term reliable.

Right?

Again, in the response, his old car was no longer reliable.

You got it.

Excellent.

All right, here we go.

The next one is means of transportation.

Good again, means of transportation.

Excellent.

Last time after me means of transportation.

Good.

Again, please don't forget to practice when you, after this lesson, go to the app

English with Tiffani because it's

important for you to practice this as well.

You have some speech practice with this one too.

Pronunciation.

All right.

It just means a vehicle or mode of travel used to move people.

Or goods from one place to another.

We just say means of transportation.

My car is my means of transportation.

Some people take the bus to work, some people almost coughed there.

Some people take the train means of transportation.

And again, in the response at the very end, he feels more confident knowing he

has a reliable means of transportation.

You got it right.

Excellent.

All right, so now, now that we see how powerful the five Ws are, when

we go to our last example here.

I think you'll already be able to start thinking of your own

responses for the five Ws.

Here's the question.

Someone might ask you right here, what did Emily do last night?

What did Emily do last night?

Now I'm gonna give you some information to match each of the five Ws, but if you're

watching this video lesson, I want you to look at the video and start thinking

for yourself, okay, what could I say?

Now for the who?

Emily.

That's the response.

But for the, what?

I said, watched a movie, you might say she's working on her computer again.

I want you to start thinking this is the first step in the process.

Think and then speak When?

Last night.

Where?

At home.

Why?

Because it was a new release.

She had been looking forward to each of the five Ws has been answered.

No matter what the topic is, no matter what the question is, you can

use the five Ws to think in English and finally speak English fluently.

So using our five Ws, the information we organized, how can we speak English?

Here's the response.

Last night, Emily decided to chill at home and watch a movie.

She was excited because it was a new release she had been looking forward to.

After watching the movie, she hit me up and told me it was great.

You like that, right?

You like that?

For those watching, I had a little acting for you.

But you see we use the five Ws.

Who, what, when, where, and why.

And we got a fluent English response.

Now even in this response, there are a few words and expressions that I want

to explain and make sure you understand.

The first one is Chill.

Oh, not new release.

Let's go to chill.

I'll show you new release.

Don't worry.

Chill.

Good again.

Chill.

Excellent.

Last time after me.

Chill.

Great job.

Now, this just means to relax or take it easy to hang out

in a casual and laid back way.

I like to chill in the evenings.

I'll lay on my couch, eat my dinner, maybe watch something on

YouTube, maybe talk to a friend.

I just want to relax and take it easy.

Makes sense, right?

In English, we say chill.

It's kind of a slang term.

All right, next we have now new release.

Good.

Again, new release.

Excellent.

Last time after me.

New release.

Great job.

Now this just means a recently published or released work, such

as a book, a movie, or an album.

Hey.

I heard there's a new release.

Do you wanna go to the movies with me?

Hey, I heard a new movie came out.

Do you want to go to the movies with me?

Makes sense, right?

Good.

In English, we say New release.

Finally, the last sentence in the last sentence hit me up was said.

Hit me up.

Good.

Last time after me.

Hit me up.

Excellent.

Now, this just means a casual way of asking someone to contact

you or get in touch with you.

Hey, can you hit me up later?

Hey, I'll hit you up tomorrow.

Hey, can you call me later?

Hey, I'll call you tomorrow.

Now hit me up is also kind of a slang term.

So you wouldn't use it in a professional environment, but you can

use it with your family and friends.

It just means to get in contact with someone, hit me up or hit someone up.

Make sense?

Excellent.

So again, you see how we can use the five Ws to speak English fluently about

any topic in answer to any question.

It can be used and it can change your English speaking ability.

Now the lesson is not done.

I need you once again to download the

English with Tiffani app if you

haven't already.

And go to the practice lessons for this one.

All right, you're gonna practice how to use the words, how to use the expressions,

and much more from our lesson today.

So practice makes perfect.

I hope you enjoyed our lesson today, and I can wait to talk to you next time.

I'll see you then.

You still there?

You know what time it is singing with me.

It's story time.

I said, it's stop, stop, stop.

Story time, story time.

I said it's story time.

I gave you a little bit of a longer version today.

All right.

Today I want to tell you about, Something that happened when I was in South Korea.

Right.

So, and I'll use one of the terms you you learned today.

Hit me up.

So when I was in Korea as an English missionary, I worked at

different language and institutes.

I worked for the same company, but I worked at different language institutes.

And I remember the very first time I had to move, woo.

I had a lot of stuff and if you've ever had to pack your

belongings and move to another home, you know how much work it is.

So I remember packing up everything in order to move to my next school.

And as I was packing, I said, wait a minute, something something.

I gotta fix something.

It was taking too long.

It was too much work.

I had too much stuff.

So I packed everything and moved to my next school.

Then I had to move again because I had gotten into this Korean

government program where I had a scholarship to learn Korean and I

had to move to a different apartment.

That, that moment I said, Uhuh, nope.

So I started hitting up my friends.

I said, Hey, I'm moving.

Come through.

I'm gonna give you whatever you want.

My friend says, oh, for real, it's Christmas.

My friends came and I said, you want that?

Take it.

You want that?

Take it.

And I started to downsize.

And I did this every single time.

I moved from one apartment to another apartment, and I moved at least six or

seven times during my time in South Korea.

So my friend said, TIFF, we love when you move because it's like Christmas.

I was given away tech things.

I was giving away clothing.

Why?

Because when you have to move, it's more challenging when you have a lot of stuff.

So I would hit my friends up every time I moved, and it was a

call that they loved to receive.

Maybe you've done the same thing, but now I downsized.

I learned the trick of living a minimal lifestyle.

So now if you ever come to my office or my apartment where I live, You'd

see that I'm a very organized person.

Everything is neat, everything is in the right place.

I don't have a lot of extra things around.

Everything has a purpose, and I learned that because I did not like having to pack

a lot of stuff when I was living in Korea.

Again, maybe you're the same way.

Let us know in the comment section if you're watching the video.

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