and welcome to this video that's being recorded
1
3334
3286
00:06
by the church on Church Street.
2

2837
00:09
And the reason I'm here is because
3
9457
1796
00:11
it's the perfect time of the year right now.
4
11253
3017
00:14
And I found this very nice spot
5
14270
2443
00:16
which hopefully is going to be quiet enough
6
16713
2825
00:19
to talk about the fact that everyone says
7
19538
2301
00:21
"I want to learn English."
8
21839
1830
00:23
So this is the number one message I receive from learners.
9
23669
3658
00:27
In fact, when I tell people to send me a message
10
27327
3739
00:31
by email, or on Facebook Messenger,
11
31066
2589
00:33
I usually get the message
12
33655
1733
00:35
"Hi, I want to learn English. Can you help me?"
13
35388
3222
00:38
And I understand this.
14
38610
1590
00:40
You know, I say this all the time.
15
40200
2184
00:42
I use want all the time.
16
42384
2086
00:44
I want to have more money.
17
44470
1750
00:46
I want to have more time.
18
46220
1835
00:48
I want to be in better shape.
19
48055
2417
00:51
But if you keep saying this,
20
51476
2333
00:54
if you keep thinking about the level you want,
21
54854
3927
00:58
then, you're going to become unhappy.
22
58781
3562
01:02
And that's because you're going to compare
23
62343
2150
01:04
your level of English now to the level you want to have.
24
64493
4167
01:09
And that difference is going to make you feel down.
25
69557
4551
01:14
So, instead of keep saying this, instead of focusing on
26
74108
4711
01:18
the desire.
27
78819
1712
01:20
Instead of focusing on the level you want to have,
28
80531
2918
01:23
set your intentions and do things
29
83449
3319
01:26
that are going to make you improve.
30
86768
3617
01:30
So focus on what you can actually do to improve.
31
90385
4625
01:35
So, set intentions.
32
95010
1583
01:37
Tell yourself that I am going to do this
33
97788
2157
01:39
and I'm going to do that.
34
99945
2092
01:42
I'm going to listen to podcasts every morning.
35
102037
4012
01:46
I'm going to improve using the LRRC method,
36
106049
4309
01:50
there's a link in the description,
37
110358
1850
01:52
to help me with my speaking.
38
112208
2333
01:55
I'm going to work on my pronunciation,
39
115807
3382
01:59
and the sounds of English
40
119189
1597
02:00
so that I can speak more fluently.
41
120786
3204
02:03
And get very specific with this too.
42
123990
2363
02:06
Think about when you're going to do it
43
126353
2051
02:08
and how you're going to do it.
44
128404
2526
02:10
Set your intentions, set a daily learning plan
45
130930
2963
02:13
and then just focus on doing this plan on a daily basis
46
133893
4014
02:17
and enjoy the process.
47
137907
2333
02:20
Because again, if you just put too much focus
48
140240
2980
02:23
on the level you want to have,
49
143220
2267
02:25
then you're just going to feel unhappy.
50
145487
2486
02:27
You're not going to feel fulfilled.
51
147973
3161
02:31
And you're going to put that focus on
52
151134
1600
02:32
the level you currently don't have
53
152734
1970
02:34
and feel frustrated about where you currently are.
54
154704
4206
02:38
And another tip on this as well,
55
158910
2878
02:41
be grateful for the level you already have.
56
161788
3690
02:45
I think it's sometimes easy to forget
57
165478
2830
02:48
how much we have improved in whatever we're doing.
58
168308
3672
02:51
And in your case, how much you've improved your English
59
171980
3030
02:55
over the last year, two years, five years, 10 years.
60
175010
3793
02:58
Whatever it may be.
61
178803
2063
03:00
So, in summary, set your intentions.
62
180866
3456
03:04
Do things on a daily basis.
63
184322
2055
03:06
And use methods that work.
64
186377
2641
03:09
Methods such as listening to as much English as you can.
65
189018
4470
03:13
Methods such as going through a pronunciation tutorial
66
193488
4019
03:17
so that you can improve the way you speak.
67
197507
2258
03:19
And methods such as the LRRC method
68
199765
2961
03:22
so that you can improve your speaking and
69
202726
1771
03:24
copy native or proficient teachers.
