Hello, This is Elliot from E.

Today I'm doing a quick video on my phone just to talk to you about setting goals when you're learning English.
Now, if you don't know what a goal is, a goal is something you want to achieve or something you want to see yourself.
Be better at or be good at in the future.
We like to set goals when we learn English, because it helps us with our improvement on with our motivation.
Andi ITT's something that should never be for gotten when you're learning English because you need goals in order to motivate yourself.
So my idea with setting goals when you're learning English is to think about what you're good at now.
What can you do now on what can you not do Very well.
So let's say, for example, now you're very good at vocabulary.
You know a lot of words, and you're good with your vocabulary.
But maybe you're not very good at pronunciation.
You don't enjoy learning it, or you're just generally not that good at it.
The best way to resolve this issue is to take maybe just a little break from what you're good at and start focusing for a period of time on what you're not quite as good at.
So we'll carry on with this example and say that you want to improve your pronunciation.
What you need to do is record yourself speaking.
Now record yourself, saying a phrase from a book, something you've written down, something that you've seen in a movie or in a YouTube video.
Andi, just record yourself on a video or in a voice recorder.
Andi, what you're going to do now is listen to it back and think about what's not quite right about it.
How can you sound mawr like a native English speaker?
Then you need to work on it, and you need to set yourself a time frame for yourself to practice and improve this phrase or this sentence, whatever it is.
Andi, spend all this time every day or every other day.
However you learn practicing the pronunciation or whatever it is that you need to improve.
Keep practicing on Let's say you give yourself a month.
Andi.
After one month, you want to be able to pronounce this phrase or sentence like a native speaker or you want to sound clear on confident when you say it.
So after all this practicing, record yourself again speaking Andi, Compare the to compare it to the recording you did before and see if there's any improvement.
There should be if you've been practicing, so this is what we do when we set goals.
We give ourselves an amount of time and we say what we want to achieve after that amount of time, you can do it with vocabulary.
If you want to learn more words, set yourself that you want to learn to new words every day for a month.
By the end of that month, you should be able to have learned all of those words.
You can set yourself goals, however you want.
Thio.
There's plenty of ways to do it.
Obviously, another great way to speed up your English learning and become a fluent English speaker much quicker is by having a native person to speak to.
