  • Hey, in today's lesson, I am going to give you my top five tips that will

  • help you speak English better with more confidence, more like a native English

  • speaker, and help you enjoy the process.

  • Are you ready?

  • Well, then I'm teacher Tiffani.

  • Let's jump right in.

  • All right.

  • Tip number one is to.

  • Write down your favorite words and expressions You see writing down

  • your favorite English words and expressions will remind you that you

  • are smart enough to speak English.

  • It will also help you to use the words and expressions more often.

  • This is something that I love to do.

  • I have tons upon tons of notebooks.

  • Why?

  • Because when you write something down, it helps you remember that

  • thing or that topic that you are studying, But it also helps you

  • realize how much you actually know.

  • You see as an English learner, your goal is to speak English fluently.

  • , but there are certain words and expressions that sometimes are harder to

  • remember, but there are also some words and expressions that you like some words

  • and expressions that the first time you heard them, you were like, Ooh, yes.

  • That is my word.

  • You need to write down those words and expressions in your notebook.

  • It will help you remember that.

  • You do know a.

  • You just need to put them into practice using them in real life.

  • So remember, my first tip is to write down the words and expressions

  • that you learn, the ones that are really interesting to you.

  • Again, this will help you remember them later and you'll be able to use

  • them in real English conversations.

  • Now, tip number two is also very important.

  • Tip number two.

  • Record, you need to record an audio clip about your day.

  • You see recording an audio clip about your day will help you overcome

  • your fear of speaking in English.

  • It will also help you gain confidence in your speaking ability because you will

  • be speaking about something you know.

  • Well, let me explain.

  • I have many students around the world, right?

  • Many students in my academy, and the first time they heard this, the first

  • time they heard me say, Hey, one of your assignments is to record an audio

  • clip or record a video clip of yourself.

  • They weren't excited.

  • , I'll just be honest.

  • Why?

  • Because they were nervous.

  • Because they were nervous.

  • They knew that if they recorded a video or recorded an audio clip, that

  • they might focus on their mistakes.

  • That's exactly why I wanted them to record a video clip or an audio.

  • Because it was going to force them to let go of their nervousness.

  • It was going to force them to get over their fears and to simply move forward.

  • It would also help them improve their English speaking ability, and that's

  • exactly why I'm telling you my second tip is to record an audio clip.

  • Now it's very important for you to record an audio clip about your.

  • Think about it.

  • You know what happens throughout the day?

  • Maybe you go to work, Maybe you're in school.

  • Maybe you're a stay-at-home mom.

  • Maybe you're a stay-at-home dad.

  • Whatever you do throughout the day in your brain, you have

  • your schedule already laid out.

  • That's very important.

  • It means that your ideas and thoughts about your day

  • have already been organized.

  • All you have to do is record an audio clip describing what you did throughout.

  • , two things happen.

  • First, you get over your fear of speaking in English, and second, you

  • start to realize that you know more English than you thought you did.

  • So again, tip number two, record an audio clip about your day information

  • that has already been organized in your mind, and now you're just produc.

  • In English, and you're recording the audio clip so that you can hear it

  • later and listen to your progress.

  • Trust me, this tip is going to help you more than you know, Trust me.

  • Tip number two, record an audio clip about your day.

  • Now, tip number three, I love it.

  • Tip number three, teach someone what you.

  • You see teaching someone else, the English you know will actually

  • help your English improve.

  • It will give you more confidence in your understanding of the

  • language, and also increase your chances of using what you taught.

  • This is something that.

  • I teach my students as well, and I want to teach you.

  • You see, I enjoy helping you speak English, right?

  • I enjoy teaching you these new ideas, giving you these tips, teaching you

  • new words and expressions, but I also understand what happens in the brain

  • when you have to teach something.

  • You see, I am an English speaker, right?

  • But in order for you to understand what I'm saying, in order for me to

  • teach you the language that I speak, I have to organize my thoughts.

  • That is why this tip, tip number three is so helpful when you have to

  • teach someone what you already know.

  • It causes you to organize your thoughts even.

  • Which will affect your ability to speak English fluently.

  • Speaking.

  • English fluently is all about your ability to organize your thoughts

  • like a native English speaker.

  • So when you learn something and you understand it, and then you're

  • forced to teach that thing to someone else, you literally have to now

  • organize your thoughts in a way that will make sense to another English.

  • And as you teach that new word, that new expression, that new English idea

  • to the individual, you'll also, again, yes, you will help yourself by organizing

  • your thoughts more, but you'll also gain more confidence in your ability to speak

  • English fluently as you're teaching them.

  • You'll realize, Oh my goodness, I really do understand this word or this express.

  • This will help you improve your English speaking fluency.

  • Why?

  • Fluency is not just about grammar or words or expressions, it's really

  • about your belief in yourself.

  • Are you speaking with confidence?

  • Not worried about making mistakes.

  • The more you teach other people, the more confident you will be in your ability to.

  • English makes sense right Now let's move on to tip number four.

  • Woo, these tips.

  • Hey, are gonna change your English forever tip number.

  • Watch a real English conversation between native English speakers.

  • You see watching a real English conversation will actually

  • help you learn more natural English words and expressions.

  • It will also help you learn how to communicate your ideas

  • more clearly in English.

  • This is something that I say all the time to my students, and I'm saying

  • it over and over again to you as.

  • You have to study native English speakers, specifically the conversations that native

  • English speakers have between each other.

  • So again, tip number four is watch.

  • Now, why did I say watch instead of listen?

  • Because something happens.

  • Now, you can listen to conversations, put your headphones in, and yes, you'll

  • understand and you'll learn a lot.

  • But when you have to watch.

  • Two individuals interact with each other.

  • You see the body language, you get a better understanding of when they

  • use certain expressions, when they use certain words, what happened

  • during the conversation, their body language, their facial expressions

  • to lead them to use certain words.

  • It will help you learn faster.

  • We are visual.

  • As human beings, we are constantly looking around and watching.

  • Now, if you are an individual that unfortunately is, uh, vision impaired

  • or you're not able to see, don't worry.

  • You can listen to conversations as well.

  • Don't worry my friend, you'll still be able to learn as well

  • and your English will improve.

  • But there's something that happens when you specifically listen to or watch a

  • conversation between two native English speakers, a natural conversation.

  • It will naturally help you improve as well.

  • You still there?

  • ? You know what time it is?

  • It's story time.

  • Hey, I said it's story time.

  • All right.

  • Today I want to tell you a story about my niece.

  • Now, this is my youngest niece.

  • She is currently six years old, but this story happened when she was.

  • almost two years old.

  • No, she was about 18 months old.

  • Yes, 18 months old.

  • She was very young, so my mom used to babysit my niece.

  • Right.

  • My sister would go to work, brother-in-law would go to work, and

  • my other niece would go to school.

  • So my sister asked my mom to watch my niece, and at that time I was still living

  • with my parents, so I was there every.

  • So in the early years of my niece's life, she saw me every

  • single morning of each weekday.

  • She would come to my parents' house and the first thing she would do was run

  • upstairs, knock on my door and say, tt.

  • She'd come in, I'd give her a huge hug, we'd talk for a few minutes, and

  • then she'd go back downstairs with my mom and I'd see her again at lunchtime

  • or a few times throughout the day.

  • But this was her routine.

  • Every morning she would come up, her little legs coming up the stair.

  • So we developed this really close bond when she was very young.

  • So I have a bond with all of my nieces.

  • And one thing about my youngest niece is she's always happy.

  • She's always very talkative.

  • So one day I came home, I had stepped out for a moment to get something to eat,

  • and I came back home and my mom was, uh, doing something in the kitchen and my

  • niece was just kind of walking around.

  • So of course, as soon as I walked in the door, she said, tt.

  • And I picked her up, hugged her, and I kissed her.

  • Now my mom had the radio on and one of my favorite songs all

  • of a sudden came on the radio.

  • Now you know that I love food.

  • You know that I love cooking, but I also love music and I love.

  • moving to Music

  • So the song came on and I said, Oh yeah, as a Christian song I really love, but it

  • has a really nice beat when I get to you.

  • So like the beat was playing, The beat was, and I could hear it and

  • I just started moving to the beat.

  • So I went to the living room and I started dancing again.

  • Something I just naturally do.

  • I started dancing around the room.

  • My parents loved dancing around the house.

  • So growing up, my sister and I, we always saw my parents dancing around very.

  • So I was dancing to the song again, not even paying attention to my niece,

  • and I looked over, remember she's 18 months old, little, small person, and I

  • noticed that she was trying to mimic me.

  • She was trying to copy my dance moves, and I was always snapping,

  • kind of moving my arms like this.

  • So I said, Okay.

  • So I saw her and I came closer.

  • I said, Okay, Munchkin, I call her munchkin.

  • I said, Come on Munchkin.

  • Let's do it.

  • Let's do it now.

  • She was 18 months old little person, and so I'm doing this now.

  • I remember as clear as day.

  • She took her little arms and sucked them out.

  • She was trying to mimic, she was trying to copy her auntie and she started

  • doing this because she couldn't snap.

  • She was only 18 months old and she started dancing with me back and forth,

  • but she was so focused, she wanted to copy her aunt, and she was trying

  • to follow me as the beat was going, and she was trying to mimic my facial

  • expressions, and I'll never forget that.

  • I loved it.

  • We had fun.

  • We were just dancing back and forth and moving to the music.

  • But the thing that's important is my niece was watching everything I was doing.

  • She was watching my body movement.

  • She was watching my facial expressions.

  • Why?

  • Because I'm somebody she loves and she wants to be like, So

  • let me do what my aunt is.

  • Now, fast forward, she's six years old now.

  • Still love to see her.

  • When I go to my sister's house, I see her.

  • I see my other niece and I love them to death.

  • But she was doing something that you as an English learner also need to do dancing.

  • That's not it.

  • But if you can dance, come on, come on, come on.

  • You can follow.

  • Come on . But no, she was paying attention to everything I was doing

  • because she wanted to be like me.

  • You as an English.

  • You want to speak English fluently, pay attention to everything that

  • native English speakers do during conversations and in real life,

  • and watch your English improve.

  • I hope you enjoyed this dancing story and I hope it also inspired

  • you to speak English more fluently.

  • I'll talk to you in the next lesson.
