0

3370
00:04
not able to get words out.
1
4250
1700
00:06
You get frustrated, you get overwhelmed because you're not
2
6240
3200
00:09
able to organize your thoughts and speak English like you want to.
3
9490
4260
00:14
Well, today, my friend, I am going to give you 11 techniques that will help you.

14230
5009
00:19
That's right.
5
19309
490
00:19
You master English fluency.
6
19799
2320
00:22
You ready?
7
22520
480
00:23
Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.
8
23690
2069
00:25
Let's jump right in.
9
25780
1810
00:27
The very first technique I want you to follow is.
10
27829
3520
00:31
Writing in English daily.
11
31780
3080
00:35
I say this all the time to my students again, writing in English daily.
12
35440
6050
00:41
If you're watching this video, some of you are listening to it on the podcast.
13
41490
3290
00:44
You'll see behind me, there are tons of journals and notebooks.
14
44970
4140
00:49
Why?
15
49250
589
00:50
Because I write on a regular basis.
16
50009
2101
00:52
So I understand the importance of writing daily.
17
52120
3760
00:56
When you start writing in English daily, many.
18
56400
3650
01:00
Things are going to happen.
19
60170
1990
01:02
Here's the description that breaks this down.
20
62670
2700
01:05
You need to keep a journal or a diary in English because it will help you organize
21
65870
7609
01:13
your thoughts and apply new vocabulary.
22
73479
4251
01:18
You're constantly learning new things.
23
78245
2030
01:20
If you watched the lesson from last week, where I taught you seven new English
24
80285
4580
01:24
expressions, you could have written those English expressions down in your notebook.
25
84875
6650
01:31
You have a journal or buy a journal and start writing in it on a daily basis.
26
91954
4971
01:36
Why is this so beneficial?
27
96964
3100
01:40
This is the benefit.
28
100774
970
01:42
You see this exercise, this practice of writing in an English journal, every
29
102335
4880
01:47
day aids in internalizing grammatical structures and expressions, making
30
107215
7709
01:54
them more accessible for speaking.
31
114925
2090
01:57
Now, you know, I don't teach grammar on my channel.
32
117884
3020
02:01
I don't teach grammar in my academy.
33
121185
1940
02:03
That is something that you have heard me say over and over again.
34
123265
3160
02:07
Even though I don't have grammar lessons, my students still improve their grammar.
35
127350
5150
02:12
Why?
36
132790
640
02:13
Because they follow these techniques, techniques, just like this one.
37
133630
4360
02:18
When you're writing on a regular basis, you're also going to start editing
38
138480
3659
02:22
yourself like, wait a minute, this doesn't look like what I read yesterday.
39
142140
4190
02:27
This doesn't read the same way that Tiffani's, uh, presentations sound.
40
147010
6010
02:33
Something's off and you'll start correcting yourself.
41
153520
3059
02:36
This will help you improve your grammar and start using words naturally.
42
156770
5589
02:42
So later on, when you go to speak, you'll remember what you wrote.
43
162799
3911
02:46
So again, technique number one, write in English.
44
166740
3670
02:50
Daily technique, number two, this technique, speech shadowing.
45
170694
6691
02:57
I want you to repeat after me at the same pace.
46
177385
2999
03:00
I want you to repeat this.
47
180894
1370
03:02
Hey, you look amazing today.
48
182905
1539
03:06
Good.
49
186135
419
03:06
One more time.
50
186605
639
03:07
Hey, you look amazing today.
51
187355
1649
03:10
Speech shadowing is all about not just repeating the words, but repeating
52
190254
5230
03:15
the pace, repeating the inflections.
53
195484
2531
03:18
This is going to help you.
54
198464
1350
03:19
So here it is.
55
199814
710
03:21
Practice speaking by mimicking or shadowing a native speaker's speech
56
201195
6620
03:28
from audio or video resources, trying to match their pronunciation, their
57
208115
7129
03:35
tone and their pace with the speaker.
58
215324
2085
03:38
We're talking about helping you finally master English fluency technique.
59
218800
5580
03:44
Number two is all about speech shadowing.
60
224380
3010
03:47
Here is the benefit.
61
227500
1640
03:49
This technique will help you, my friend, improve your accent, your
62
229850
4440
03:54
intonation and fluency by training your ears and speech muscles to speak.
63
234320
6119
04:00
Simultaneously at the same time, this is why this technique is
64
240650
5730
04:06
so important and so powerful.
65
246380
3089
04:09
So again, technique number two, speech shadowing, mimicking someone else.
66
249480
6300
04:15
Technique number three.
67
255990
2349
04:19
Ted talks and educational lectures again, Ted talks and educational lectures.
68
259740
8300
04:28
We're living in a time where information is available to us.
69
268180
4130
04:32
For free, you can go on YouTube, which is where you're watching this video and
70
272890
4890
04:37
access tons upon tons of videos, including TED talks and educational lectures.
71
277840
7030
04:44
So what you're going to do is watch TED talks.
72
284900
3409
04:48
Why watching TED talks and educational lectures in English exposes you to
73
288390
6780
04:55
complex ideas and specialized vocabulary.
74
295180
4450
04:59
Remember your goal is to improve your English fluency in order
75
299990
3760
05:03
to improve your English fluency.
76
303750
1620
05:05
You have to improve your vocabulary.
77
305470
1670
05:07
You have to be exposed to more English.
78
307330
2609
05:10
This is a technique that will help you.
79
310710
1890
05:12
Here's the benefit.
80
312779
961
05:14
It improves your comprehension of advanced topics and aids in acquiring
81
314789
6931
05:21
academic or professional language skills.
82
321780
2770
05:24
Skills you're trying to get to the next level.
83
324630
4010
05:28
So you have to watch people.
84
328800
1840
05:30
You have to listen to people who are at the level you are trying to get to.
85
330710
4450
05:35
So again, technique number three, TED talks and educational lectures.
86
335730
5980
05:41
Technique number four.
87
341890
2240
05:44
This technique is creative writing in English.
88
344820
4380
05:49
Now, remember the first technique was about writing
89
349630
3180
05:52
in a daily journal in English.
90
352819
2800
05:56
Technique number four is a little bit different.
91
356180
2210
05:58
Technique number four is.
92
358400
1220
05:59
Creative writing in English.
93
359960
2300
06:02
Let me explain engaging in creative writing activities, like crafting stories,
94
362260
6770
06:09
poems, or blogs in English, writing about your daily life is in your journal.
95
369280
6410
06:16
But you're writing about things that actually happened.
96
376320
2780
06:19
Creative writing is all about using your imagination, coming up with interesting
97
379610
4940
06:24
stories or coming up with things you want to teach other people by writing a
98
384550
5159
06:29
blog, or even writing a poem in English.
99
389710
3549
06:33
This technique will stretch your brain in a different way.
100
393910
4070
06:38
You're not just documenting your day.
101
398365
2440
06:40
Instead, you're coming up with ideas and situations in English.
102
400815
5120
06:46
This technique, once again, will help you master English fluency.
103
406615
5099
06:51
Here's another benefit.
104
411814
1221
06:54
It encourages, it encourages innovative use of language and deeper
105
414115
6100
07:00
engagement with linguistic structures, enhancing expressive capabilities.
106
420235
6330
07:07
It will help you express yourself more because you are forcing your
107
427159
4510
07:11
mind, forcing your brain to pull on all of these things you've learned to
108
431669
5420
07:17
make them into something interesting.
109
437089
2431
07:20
This technique is going to take your English to the next level.
110
440309
3260
07:23
Technique number five technique.
111
443689
2300
07:25
Number five is listening to English audio books.
112
445989
4601
07:30
Audiobooks are powerful.
113
450850
1803
07:32
I have audio books on my phone and it's very convenient to listen
114
452653
6847
07:39
to an audio book while I'm either working or cooking or exercising.
115
459500
5730
07:45
You have access to audio books.
116
465869
1940
07:47
So listen to an English audio book, incorporating English audio
117
467819
4201
07:52
books into your routine, allows you to hear complex narratives.
118
472020
5840
08:00
When you're listening to an audio book, you're listening to an individual
119
480085
3610
08:03
who's a native English speaker.
120
483695
1430
08:05
They're not speaking slowly.
121
485295
1190
08:06
They're speaking at a regular pace about complex topics, and this gives your
122
486485
5410
08:11
brain the opportunity to process the information, listening to audio books.
123
491904
6811
08:19
As your brain learns to process the information, you will also be
124
499375
4150
08:23
able to regurgitate to use the same patterns when you speak English.
125
503565
6140
08:29
So again, listening to English audio books, what is another benefit?
126
509965
4399
08:34
It sharpens your listening skills and introduces you to diverse literary
127
514405
6950
08:41
vocabularies and storytelling techniques.
128
521355
3180
08:45
You're going to be a better storyteller.
129
525015
1689
08:47
You're going to have a more expansive vocabulary.
130
527035
2290
08:49
This is why this technique is so important.
131
529985
3370
08:53
Technique number six, another good one.
132
533885
3360
08:57
Technique number six, book clubs and discussion groups.
133
537435
4490
09:02
You want to become a part of, or join book clubs or discussion groups.
134
542345
5609
09:08
You have to practice what you are learning.
135
548124
2671
09:10
Now, here's the thing participating in English speaking book clubs or
136
550795
4840
09:15
discussion Offers you a chance or an opportunity to explore literature and
137
555635
7945
09:23
express your opinions in order to speak English fluently, you have to be able
138
563580
6699
09:30
to put into words, your ideas, your opinions, your thoughts, and joining
139
570500
6720
09:37
a book club can help you do this.
140
577220
1950
09:39
You see discussing books.
141
579190
2080
09:41
Can enhance your vocabulary, your comprehension, and the ability to
142
581600
5610
09:47
formulate and express complex ideas.
143
587210
3510
09:51
Clearly we're talking about helping you master English fluency, and
144
591000
5049
09:56
it's not just about reading a book.
145
596050
2730
09:59
You have to utilize different techniques to get where you are trying to go.
146
599300
5029
10:04
So again, technique number six, book clubs and discussion groups.
147
604489
4830
10:09
Technique.
148
609819
610
10:10
Number seven, subscribe to English newsletter.
149
610645
5560
10:16
Newsletters again, subscribe to English newsletters, reading newsletters from
150
616930
5780
10:22
reputable sources in English, keeps you updated with current events and
151
622710
6580
10:29
exposes you to formal written English.
152
629290
4210
10:33
This is so powerful.
153
633659
1560
10:35
Again, we are living in a time where so many things are available for free.
154
635250
6230
10:42
You can sign up for an English newsletter.
155
642090
2360
10:44
Again.
156
644480
550
10:45
This is a newsletter meant for native English speakers.
157
645370
3260
10:48
It's not about English.
158
648790
1720
10:50
It's literally about current events, things going on,
159
650540
3020
10:53
and it's written in English.
160
653590
1639
10:55
You can find an English newsletter, sign up for the newsletter totally for free.
161
655490
5880
11:01
And every day, have an email sent to you where you're reading in
162
661560
3939
11:05
English about the current events.
163
665549
2690
11:08
This is a powerful technique.
164
668860
1940
11:10
One of the main benefits.
165
670960
1230
11:12
It enhances your reading comprehension and familiarizes you with the tone and style
166
672625
7810
11:20
of professional and journalistic writing.
167
680485
3280
11:24
We're trying to help you speak English fluently.
168
684584
2850
11:27
We're trying to help you master English fluency.
169
687575
2369
11:29
And in order to master English fluency, you have to actually
170
689945
5830
11:35
read more and write more.
171
695775
2049
11:38
So again, technique number seven, subscribe to English newsletters.
172
698094
4171
11:42
Technique number eight, mind mapping in English.
173
702985
5990
11:48
Once again, mind mapping in English.
174
708985
3050
11:52
Now this is all about using mind maps to organize your thoughts
175
712074
4911
11:56
or plan projects in English.
176
716995
2380
11:59
I love this technique.
177
719394
1371
12:01
This is how I think this is.
178
721064
1421
12:02
I've always thought again, this refers to organizing your thoughts before speaking.
179
722485
6160
12:09
This refers to having supporting pieces of information for your idea.
180
729150
4860
12:14
And then speaking, I remember when I was in high school, we did it in college as
181
734180
3830
12:18
well, but we did it more in high school.
182
738010
1860
12:20
We'd have.
183
740230
730
12:21
On a piece of paper, a diagram with circles in the middle
184
741355
4390
12:25
would be your main point.
185
745985
1400
12:28
On the outside of that bigger circle would be smaller circles with supporting points,
186
748005
5839
12:33
reasons, examples to support your idea.
187
753895
4400
12:39
This is a mind map, making sure you have a main idea and then connecting
188
759045
4760
12:43
points that support that main idea.
189
763805
2130
12:46
Creating mind maps is important.
190
766265
1930
12:48
Here's the benefit.
191
768564
851
12:50
The visual and organizational tool.
192
770425
2810
12:53
This tool not only aids in planning, but also in thinking and brainstorming
193
773245
6319
12:59
directly in English, promoting fluency in thought processes.
194

So I want to switch the story I was going to tell you and tell you this one.

3780
17:14
So this also happened when I was in South Korea.
265
1034245
3300
17:17
So I spent almost 10 years in South Korea.
266
1037555
3620
17:21
During that time, I taught thousands of students.
267
1041405
2150
17:24
I learned how to speak Korean, and I also got my master's
268
1044334
3561
17:27
degree in oriental painting.
269
1047895
1660
17:30
Now, working and studying in another language is no easy feat.
270
1050205
7460
17:38
Doing these things simultaneously.

861
17:41
It will stretch you.
273

1069
17:42
You'll realize how much you are capable of.
274
1062745
2690
17:45
So I was in this situation, working full time and studying for my master's degree.
275
1065715
6450
17:52
It was a very challenging season, a very difficult season of my life.
276
1072525
5210
17:58
And I lived with, uh, one of my friends, her name is Janelli.
277
1078445
3139
18:01
If you see this, Hey girl, uh, we're still very close now.
278
1081585
2940
18:04
And Janelli was my roommate and we had another friend and we were all, you
279
1084805
5390
18:10
know, good friends, we worked together.
280
1090195
2160
18:12
And one evening Janelli and this other friend said, Hey Tiff, you
281
1092735
5010
18:17
know, We want to go to karaoke.
282
1097745
2960
18:20
Let's go to the Noraebang, Noraebang in Korean, right?
283
1100705
3070
18:24
Uh, the singing room.
284
1104145
1210
18:25
And I said, I can't go because I need to study.
285
1105804
5200
18:31
They said, no, come on, Tiff.
286
1111625
1440
18:33
Come on, you can come.
287
1113094
991
18:34
Let's go.
288
1114085
370
18:34
Let's go.
289
1114455
360
18:34
We're going to sing and have a good time.
290
1114815
1689
18:36
You need to take a break.
291
1116504
961
18:37
I said, no, I have to focus on my studies.
292
1117635
3770
18:42
And they said, Tiff, come on.
293
1122765
1720
18:44
And I could see by the look on their face.
294
1124485
1449
18:45
I was like, you know what?
295
1125934
841
18:47
Let me just take a break tonight.
296
1127185
1500
18:49
Hang out with my friends.
297
1129235
1210
18:51
And not worry about this.
298
1131110
1560
18:53
Let me tell you, we had the most fun singing our hearts out
299
1133330
5960
18:59
at that singing room and that Nori bong, the karaoke place.
300
1139590
2760
19:02
It was so much fun.
301
1142410
1790
19:04
It was on a Saturday night and they invited a few other friends and we
302
1144200
3639
19:07
just sang and sang, we were sweating.
303
1147839
2881
19:10
We were dancing, singing.
304
1150720
1110
19:11
It was so much fun.
305
1151870
1530
19:14
And fast forward.
306
1154180
1280
19:15
Now, again, that was many years ago.
307
1155460
1610
19:18
I still talk about that to this day, when I'm on the phone talking to Janellie,
308
1158065
4080
19:22
I say, girl, I'll never forget that night because it was a moment when I
309
1162145
4690
19:26
wanted to be studying, but my friends realized I needed to take a break and
310
1166845
4240
19:31
relax and just enjoy life for a moment.
311
1171085
2890
19:34
And we had a ball.
312
1174354
1770
19:36
So I want to encourage you as you're on this English journey, if there's a moment
313
1176374
4821
19:41
when you need to take a break, if there's a moment when your family or friends are
314
1181195
3150
19:44
like, Hey, we want to spend time with you.
315
1184345
1839
19:46
Don't miss out.
316
1186454
1081
19:48
On those times to share with your family or your friends, spending quality
317
1188110
5060
19:53
time together, because you'll remember those times and you'll still achieve
318
1193170
3709
19:56
your goals because I still graduated.
319
1196879
2161
19:59
Even though I went to that karaoke that night, I hope you enjoyed this
320
1199250
3169
20:02
story and I'll talk to you next time.
