of the big wide world you happen to be in right now. I am Julian, and this is Doing

English. In today’s lesson, I am going to discuss another one of your questions. And

today’s question is, How to learn English faster?

So this is something that I get asked about an awful lot. How to learn English faster?

And actually the answer is a pretty simple one but it’s also one that I think people

don’t like so much. The answer is simply cut down the amount you have to learn. And

that is the only way really. If you want to learn faster you have to cut down and focus

more. Put another way, it’s kind of like a scale I guess. If you have a lot of time

– no let’s think of it the other way around. If you want to learn everything. You want

to learn very, very general English that you can use in any kind of situation in any kind

of place with any kind of people you have a lot to learn. You have an awful lot to learn.

So you’re going to need a lot of time to learn that. However, if you start to cut this

down, cut it down, cut it down, cut it down, cut it down, and work on something very, very,

focused then you don’t need so much time.

General English conversation versus talking about the weather. Obviously, general English

conversation is such an abstract kind of concept there’s where do you start, what do you

learn? There’s just so much to do and there’s so much to think about. Learning to talk about

the weather. There’s a very limited amount of vocabulary you need, a very limited amount

of phrases you will use. You could learn to discuss the vocabulary, you can learn to discuss

the weather very very quickly and very, very easily. Another situation might be for example

if you have to give sales presentations to sell your company’s product that is quite

focused because the kind of language you need again is quite limited. You’re only going

to need a certain amount of vocabulary and a certain amount of phrases and things like

that. Maybe it’s going to take a little longer than just talking about the weather

but again, it’s a much more tight – focused goal than say learning business English. Again,

business English what is that? It’s such a big abstract concept. It’s going to take

time to learn business English because there’s so much you have to learn. If you’re going

to use English in any kind of business situation then you have to learn a lot. But if you focus

that on just selling your product you can learn it quite, quite quickly.

Of course, you probably have very focused things you need to do but you also want to

learn general English. I am not going to talk about that in detail in this video because

it’s something that I teach in my course Two Step Speaking. And basically the idea

there is I teach you how to make a series of super –focused goals and to then build

that into a long term learning plan so that you can get the kind of very broad general

kind of English for every situation. A piece of paper fell down, never mind relatively

quickly. But the simple answer to the question, How to learn English faster is focus. Cut

down. The more you focus the quicker you will be able to learn.

I think that is about it for today’s lesson. So, as always if you have any questions about
