to study English, not having a proper routine that will take them from the

intermediate level to the advanced level, not knowing how to actually study English

consistently and enjoy the process.

Have you ever experienced this challenge?

Are you experiencing this challenge right now?

Well, my friend, I have good news for you because in today's lesson I am going to

give you a morning routine that you can follow and it will help you speak English

fluently as you follow the routine.

Are you ready?

Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

Let's jump right in.

Part number one, the very first thing you need to do is write.

A five minute writing session.

Now let me explain what this writing session is all about.

You see, the first part is to write in your journal for five minutes.

You should write about something you plan to do today.

That's right.

Today's schedule, this is an important step.

Why?

Because you are warming up your brain to start operating in English.

In other words, you are activating the English side of

your brain in a relaxed way.

Think about it.

When you wake up in the morning, the very first thoughts you have

normally are in your mother tongue.

Maybe it's Spanish or Portuguese or Zulu or another language.

But now we have to switch this to English, and you do this by first starting

with a five minute writing session.

Notice that I said five minutes, not 20 minutes, not 30 minutes.

No, a short period of time, only five minutes, and it must be about your day.

What are you planning to do because you already have an idea.

Maybe you're going to work or maybe you have to go to school, or maybe you

have to take care of your children.

It's time to write about that.

In English.

So for step one, here is how you complete it.

All right?

This is the main thing.

You have to remember first, get your notebook and pen ready.

That's right.

Have your notebook and pen ready.

And honestly, I'd say to have your notebook and pen right next to your bed.

Maybe you have a nightstand right next to your bed.

Keep your journal, your English journal, and your pen right next to you.

So as soon as you wake up, you can go right to that journal.

Or maybe you have devotions in the morning right after you have your devotion.

Get your journal and have your pen ready.

The next thing you want to do is to set a five minute timer.

I use my cell phone as a timer, but you can use your cell phone,

your watch, or any other device.

But it's important to set a five minute timer.

Why is this important?

Because you are only going to write for this five minute period,

not longer and not shorter.

So you have to write as long as the timer is going, and once it stops, you stop.

The third thing to remember is 13.

Third thing to remember is hit start and don't stop writing

until the timer goes off.

I just explained that you have to keep writing for that five minute period.

Now, in the very beginning.

This is going to be challenging.

It's going to feel like a long period of time, but the more you

do it, the more consistent you are, the easier it will become.

Trust me.

Five minutes writing about your day, what you are going to do for that day.

All right?

Now I want you to remember something very important.

Don't worry about making mistakes.

Don't stop and erase.

Instead, just keep riding like the movie Finding Nemo.

Remember, just keep swimming.

Just keep swimming.

Let's switch it.

Just keep writing.

Just keep writing.

Don't stop.

Don't worry about mistakes.

The main goal is to activate the English side of your brain.

That's why we're starting with a writing exercise.

It will force you to actify, act vibe.

Activate that side of your brain.

So activating the side of your brain that uses English is very important

to start off this morning routine.

All right, five minutes.

Now let's move to part two.

You've written in your journal for five minutes, and now it's

time to have an input session.

Now, I love this.

An input session.

So let me explain what this is all about.

You've done your five minute writing session.

Now we have part two, the 10 minute input session.

So what you're gonna do is find a YouTube video or other online video

about a topic that you are interested in.

Notice I didn't say an English lesson.

I said a video about a topic you are interested in making sure

that they're speaking in English.

You can find a video about cooking, a video about sports,

a video about technology.

It doesn't matter as long as they are speaking English.

All right?

As you watch the video, you are going to learn new words.

You should write down.

Remember, you have your journal.

Write down the things that you don't already know.

As you're watching the video and enjoying it, if something pops up, maybe a new

word or expression, write it down.

This is an important step.

Why?

Because you are now inputting new information into your brain.

Step one, we activated your brain, right, the English side.

Now, step two, we are putting new information into your brain.

In other words, you are increasing the English you will be able to

use in real life conversations.

Listen, this morning routine is going to help you speak English fluently

if you simply follow each step.

So how do you do this?

Exactly?

Let's get the steps.

Here we go.

Step one for this part.

Find a YouTube video about a topic that you were interested in, right?

We talked about that.

Next again, get your notebook and pen ready.

You have it right next to your bed still because you just finished

the five minute writing session.

And as you watch the video again, write down five to 10 new expressions,

words, and or sentence patterns.

That's right in a 10 minute video where native English speakers are speaking

about a topic that you're interested in, you are going to hear a lot of

new words, a lot of new expressions.

So I want you to write down, don't look them up.

Just write down the words, expressions, or patterns that you hear.

As you watch the video, write them down in your journal.

All right.

Now I need you to remember this.

Don't worry about looking up the definitions of the words or expressions.

The main goal of this part right here, the 10 minute input session, is to listen well

and recognize new terms, so we activated.

Your English side of the brain.

Now we are inputting and improving your listing skills for part two or step two.

All right, 10 minutes.

So now we have five minutes and 10 minutes, only 15 minutes so far.

Let's jump into part number three.

Part number three is all about research, a 10 minute research.

Session.

Now, this is very important.

Let me explain how this works.

You're gonna find the definitions for all the words and expressions.

This is an important step.

Why?

Because it will help you understand why the words and expressions were

used in the video you just watched.

The video was about a topic that you're interested in, so you're

already glued to it, right?

Maybe you watch the video on your phone, you're laying in bed

and you're watching the video.

But now when you go in this part to look up the words and expressions,

things start making sense.

Ah, that's why they used that word.

Ah, that's why they used that expression in the video.

So in other words, you will have a better understanding.

Of the words and expressions that Native English speakers use in real

life, this step is extremely important.

Remember, this morning routine is going to change your English

fluency, activating the brain.

To help you understand things in English, inputting things into your brain to

help you understand in English now helping you actually learn the meaning

so you can use them in real life.

So here are the steps once again.

Here we go.

Get your notebook and pen ready.

Two.

Search for the words and expressions online.

Three, write the definition and one example sentence for

each word and expression.

This is very important.

You've learned the definition of each word.

But now you need to see how the words are used in a sentence.

You've heard it while watching the video on YouTube or whatever platform

you found the video on, and now you're seeing other ways to use the word or

expression in a real life situation.

All right?

Very important.

I also want you to remember something as well.

Don't worry about creating your own sentences yet.

Once again, don't worry about creating your own sentences just yet.

You're not gonna do that yet.

The main goal for you is to understand how the words and

expressions are used in real life.

We haven't gotten to the part where you will actually use them yet.

You're just understanding how other Native English speakers use the

word or expression in real life.

Makes sense, right?

Yeah, you with me?

Okay, so we have part one.

Again, activated the English part of your brain five minutes.

Part two, we input information watching the YouTube video.

10 minutes, part three.

Now we've looked up things we've researched, and now we're

moving on to part number four.

Of your morning routine.

Part four, the application session.

That's right.

Now it's time to apply what you've learned during this morning session.

So here we go.

First, you're gonna rewrite your journal entry using three to five

of the words you just learned.

Woo.

This is when it gets exciting.

All right?

This is an important step because it will help you create triggers.

In your brain.

In other words, you will find it easier to use the new words in real

conversations because you already applied them to your daily life.

Woo.

I love this step.

Okay, now I'm gonna give you the clear steps again, but let me break this down.

Think about what we've been doing so far for this morning routine.

We activated the English side of your brain where you wrote about your day.

You already started to organize your thoughts about your day.

Then we paused and we input new information.

Enjoyed it.

Woo, about whatever topic you chose.

Then we looked up the information we researched.

Now it's time to connect the dots to apply what you learned in part two

and part three, and connect the dots by having part one and part four.

Be connected by using part two and three.

Follow me.

Now you're going to rewrite what you wrote in part one in your journal.

You're gonna rewrite it using the words you learned from part two and part three.

Mm.

Here we go.

Watch this.

Now again, here are the steps once again.
