As you know, repetition is so important
4
25070
3070
00:28
when it comes to internalizing grammar and learning
5
28140
3559
00:31
new words and phrases. The more you see a word
6
31699
3680
00:35
listen to a word and use a word, the more
7
35379
3860
00:39
you will be able to remember in the future. However
8
39239
4371
00:43
most English learners don't get enough repetition
9
43610
3479
00:47
in their language learning and I think this is because
10
47089
4161
00:51
most learners find it boring. The good news is
11
51250
4140
00:55
you can get natural repetition in a fun
12
55390
3579
00:58
and interesting way through narrow
13
58969
3300
01:02
reading and listening.But what is narrow reading and listening?
14
62269
4171
01:06
Well, this is when you read things
15
66440
3060
01:09
listen to things, and watch things in English
16
69500
4210
01:13
on a similar topic. For example
17
73710
3240
01:16
if you take diet as a topic this is where you watch a documentary
18
76950
5540
01:22
on a specific diet then you read a book on a diet
19
82490
3810
01:26
listen to a podcast on the diet watch an interview on the diet
20
86300
4049
01:30
and so on and so on. And getting this repetition from a variety
21
90349
4970
01:35
of different contexts is going to help you
22
95319
3131
01:38
to be able to use this grammar and this vocabulary
23
98450
3680
01:42
in the correct way
24
102130
7000
01:49
When using this method it's important to choose a topic
25
109170
3489
01:52
that interests you... this is because having fun
26
112659
3831
01:56
when learning English is so important, but also
27
116490
3890
02:00
if the topic interests you then you're very likely to talk about it
28
120380
4720
02:05
when you are speaking with other English speakers
29
125100
3780
02:08
so give narrow reading and listening
30
128880
