Today I want to share my experience
5
8663
3143
00:11
of learning English language
6
11806
1487
00:13
and I want to share one of the most effective methods
7
13293
3605
00:16
to learn it
8
16898
699
00:17
As you know I started to learn English
9
17597
2472
00:20
when I was 4.
10
20069
1274
00:21
I'm 26 right now.
11
21343
1999
00:23
I'm 21 years into learning English language
12
23342
3616
00:26
and I guess I have a lot of experience in it
13
26958
3757
00:30
One of the most effective things that I've done
14
30715
4361
00:35
was going to an Engish speaking country
15
35076
4844
00:39
like Great Britain or the United States
16
39920
2549
00:42
and learning English with native speakers
17
42469
2605
00:45
but I know that not everyone can go to a foreign country
18
45074
5796
00:50
and spend a couple weeks there
19
50870
1450
00:52
and not everyone has an opportunity to hire a native speaker
20
52320
4152
00:56
in his own town
21
56472
1769
00:58
and practice every day
22
58241
1398
00:59
There's one amazing, absolutely - free method
23
59639
5314
01:04
to learn English language
24
64953
1390
01:06
and I'm going to share it with you
25
66343
1843
01:08
Since I was 8
26
68186
2927
01:11
I feel in love with American pop culture
27
71113
2689
01:13
I used to listen to all of the songs in English
28
73802
3765
01:17
like Britney Spears
29
77567
1138
01:18
my favotite singer and
30
78705
1400
01:20
I used to write her letters
31
80105
1205
01:21
I was so into her albums
32
81310
2591
01:23
her songs
33
83901
1087
01:24
It really helped me learn a lot of English
34
84988
2918
01:27
You know when you're listening to something
35
87906
2898
01:30
You really want to understand what's happening in the song
36
90804
2521
01:33
You start translating it
37
93325
2067
01:35
And then you hear the song over and over again
38
95392
2835
01:38
and you can encounter many new words
39
98227
4230
01:42
because you listen to the song every day
40
102457
3390
01:45
you would eventually memorise them
41
105847
3593
01:49
This is the best way to learn new words
42
109440
2744
01:52
When you encouner new words and then repeat it
43
112184
3358
01:55
and then it's there in your brain
44
115542
2178
01:57
This is what I did
45
117720
2079
01:59
First I started doing it with Britney Spears
46
119799
2098
02:01
I just listened to her songs
47
121897
1800
02:03
started to translate
48
123697
1501
02:05
You also have to be careful
49
125198
1904
02:07
one of the most popular songs by Britney Spears
50
127102
2901
02:10
is Hit me baby one more time
51
130003
1858
02:11
If you ever listened to her
52
131861
2230
02:14
She sings "oh baben, baben"
53
134091
3256
02:17
something
54
137347
694
02:18
it's weird but it's actually oh baby, baby
55
138041
2495
02:27
This is the way you learn the accent
56
147146
1936
02:29
because actually American people sing like that
57
149082
3459
02:32
because Britney Spears's singing like that
58
152541
1570
02:34
So there are many many things
59
154111
1879
02:35
that you'd hear in the song
60
155990
2652
02:38
and they'd look different on paper
61
158642
2124
02:40
when you actually see the lyrics
62
160766
1341
02:42
Another thing I've learnt from songs
63
162107
3112
02:45
You know the song "wish you were here"?
64
165219
1973
02:53
This is the second conditional
65
173214
2413
02:55
Wish you were here
66
175627
1474
02:57
I guess this is the second conditional
67
177101
2551
02:59
If I'm wrong, please correct me in the comments
68
179652
2157
03:01
Another song that just came to my mind
69
181809
2180
03:03
we actually used it during the lesson in our language school
70
183989
5127
03:09
And this is a song by Modest mouse
71
189116
3173
03:12
Which starts with a phrase
72
192289
5503
03:24
They have such a weird accent
73
204943
1316
03:26
Imagine I was around 13
74
206259
2807
03:29
and the teacher gave that song
75
209066
2400
03:31
and we had to write down every single word we understood
76
211466
3851
03:35
I listened to the whole song
77
215317
2090
03:37
I had like 3 words written correctly
78
217407
4150
03:41
If you haven't heard this song
79
221557
2538
03:44
please listen to it
80
224095
1326
03:45
listen to the whole version
81
225421
1166
03:46
Try to write down what you get
82
226587
2943
03:49
and then read the lyrics
83
229530
1862
03:51
This would help you understand the accents
84
231392
3104
03:54
because English is such a language
85
234496
1587
03:56
that you can know thousands of words
86
236083
3632
03:59
and you can be super proficient in grammar
87
239715
3434
04:03
but when you hear native speakers
88
243149
2373
04:05
you start talking to native speakers
89
245522
2843
04:08
you might have a lot of problems understanding
90
248365
3032
04:11
and talking to them
91
251397
1571
04:12
in a way that they would understand
92
252968
2050
04:15
and there are many idioms and many grammatical things
93
255018
3025
04:18
that you can learn from songs like wish you were here
94
258043
3093
04:21
and there's also songs like by Nira Jones
95
261136
3411
04:24
why I didn't come
96
264547
1183
04:26
This phrase also helps me when I
97
266625
2366
04:28
I try to put something like this in a sentence
98
268991
2735
04:31
It's not like I don't know why I hadn't come
99
271726
2670
04:34
It's I don't know why I didn't come
100
274396
3080
04:37
All of those small things like if you remember
101
277476
3348
04:40
if they stick to your brain
102
280824
1527
04:42
they would make your speech more amazing
103
282351
3352
04:45
and more natural
104
285703
1555
04:47
So really try that
105
287258
1804
04:49
And all of the songs
106
289062
1445
04:50
English language songs which you have
107
290507
2370
04:52
in your iphone right now
108
292877
1749
04:54
try to read the lyrics
109
294626
2299
04:56
and try to understand every single word
110
296925
2001
04:58
And when you listen to them again
111
298926
1877
05:00
you'd notice in your brain
112
300803
1765
05:02
"hey, I know that this is this word,
113
302568
2581
05:05
and I just looked it up in the dictionary".
114
305149
2750
05:07
And I know what it means
115
307899
1046
05:08
and this way you'd memorise it
116
308945
1890
05:10
And I think best language schools all over the world
117
310835
3401
05:14
would use this method so you would sit down with your teacher
118
314236
3697
05:17
and the teacher would switch on a song
119
317933
2554
05:20
like my teacher did
120
320487
1668
05:22
I actually just returned from London
121
322155
1711
05:23
where I attended classes at UIC English school
122
323866
3829
05:27
Many of you might wonder
123
327695
1542
05:29
why I'm attending English language classes
124
329237
2050
05:31
if I passed TOEFL
125
331287
1684
05:32
and all that
126
332971
1366
05:34
My business is connected with studying Engish abroad
127
334337
4773
05:39
I want to make sure our partners are the best
128
339110
2616
05:41
I studied in one of the schools
129
341726
2480
05:44
and the teacher was so amazing
130
344206
1676
05:45
he sang the songs himself
131
345882
1839
05:47
He brought in the guitar
132
347721
1303
05:49
Well, you're going to see it right now
133
349024
2219
05:51
I recorded the video
134
351243
1165
05:53
There'll be a small task for you
135
353430
1281
05:54
I'll put the task that he gave us
136
354711
3441
05:58
and try to fill in the words
137
358113
1619
05:59
Please tell me in the comments
138
359732
1628
06:01

139
361360
1367
06:02
or if you've done any mistakes
140
362727
1567
06:04
Please let me know if you liked this method
