of this lesson what I want to talk about lesson what I want to talk about lesson what I want to talk about is practice and why it's such an is practice and why it's such an is practice and why it's such an important thing and I know this important thing and I know this important thing and I know this seems kind of like a very seems kind of like a very seems kind of like a very obvious thing that most students obvious thing that most students obvious thing that most students like yes of course i have to like yes of course i have to like yes of course i have to practice if I want to get better

understanding what first understanding what language learning is and what language learning is and what language learning is and what language learning is not and language learning is not and language learning is not and then why such you know practice then why such you know practice then why such you know practice would be such an important thing would be such an important thing would be such an important thing to think about so first of all to think about so first of all to think about so first of all when you think about a subject when you think about a subject when you think about a subject like math or you're trying to like math or you're trying to like math or you're trying to learn science or something like learn science or something like learn science or something like that where you have to memorize that where you have to memorize that where you have to memorize a bunch of facts and then use a bunch of facts and then use a bunch of facts and then use those again when you're taking a those again when you're taking a those again when you're taking a test test test these are formulas that kind of these are formulas that kind of these are formulas that kind of thing I talk about this over and thing I talk about this over and thing I talk about this over and over again but learning a over again but learning a over again but learning a language is not like learning language is not like learning language is not like learning that kind of information that kind of information that kind of information it's not something where I can it's not something where I can it's not something where I can take a test and i have time to take a test and i have time to take a test and i have time to think about it I can take a rule think about it I can take a rule think about it I can take a rule and use the rule and there's and use the rule and there's and use the rule and there's lots of time again that time lots of time again that time lots of time again that time factor is the most important factor is the most important factor is the most important thing thing thing so when you're studying a so when you're studying a so when you're studying a language in a classroom and language in a classroom and language in a classroom and you're thinking about taking you're thinking about taking you're thinking about taking tests you have that time you tests you have that time you tests you have that time you know you're listening to a know you're listening to a know you're listening to a reading eggs and exercise or a reading eggs and exercise or a reading eggs and exercise or a reading exam for listening reading exam for listening reading exam for listening practice exercise or exam and practice exercise or exam and practice exercise or exam and you have to you have time to you have to you have time to you have to you have time to think about your answer but most think about your answer but most think about your answer but most times in conversations you have times in conversations you have times in conversations you have to be very quick to be very quick to be very quick otherwise you're just sitting otherwise you're just sitting otherwise you're just sitting there pausing like this and you there pausing like this and you there pausing like this and you don't really know what to say don't really know what to say don't really know what to say and this can be you know and this can be you know and this can be you know frustrating and embarrassing for frustrating and embarrassing for frustrating and embarrassing for people so the whole point to be people so the whole point to be people so the whole point to be able to speak fluently and able to speak fluently and able to speak fluently and continuously just the way I'm continuously just the way I'm continuously just the way I'm speaking right now you're still speaking right now you're still speaking right now you're still kind of thinking as you speak in kind of thinking as you speak in kind of thinking as you speak in the same way i'm thinking right the same way i'm thinking right the same way i'm thinking right now but you really want to be now but you really want to be now but you really want to be able to to make this process go able to to make this process go able to to make this process go much more quickly and the only much more quickly and the only much more quickly and the only way to do this is through way to do this is through way to do this is through practice practice practice so what people normally do is so what people normally do is so what people normally do is they they spend maybe ninety they they spend maybe ninety they they spend maybe ninety five percent of their time five percent of their time five percent of their time learning something in a textbook learning something in a textbook learning something in a textbook or you know whatever it is that or you know whatever it is that or you know whatever it is that thing could be it could be thing could be it could be thing could be it could be listening practice like you're listening practice like you're listening practice like you're watching youtube videos watching youtube videos watching youtube videos something like this so it's all something like this so it's all something like this so it's all the input the input the input it's all input but everything it's all input but everything it's all input but everything changes changes changes the moment you actually have to the moment you actually have to the moment you actually have to use that in a real conversation use that in a real conversation use that in a real conversation and so it's only that time and so it's only that time and so it's only that time you'll have to forgive me you'll have to forgive me you'll have to forgive me there's like a truck backing up there's like a truck backing up there's like a truck backing up outside but hopefully that outside but hopefully that outside but hopefully that little beeping will go away soon little beeping will go away soon little beeping will go away soon anyway anyway anyway so when you're thinking about so when you're thinking about so when you're thinking about the difference between the way the difference between the way the difference between the way you practice and so if you have you practice and so if you have you practice and so if you have this specific problem of you this specific problem of you this specific problem of you know when you're talking to know when you're talking to know when you're talking to yourself you may be doing some yourself you may be doing some yourself you may be doing some practice by yourself everything practice by yourself everything practice by yourself everything seems to flow quite well but as seems to flow quite well but as seems to flow quite well but as soon as you get in front of soon as you get in front of soon as you get in front of other people it's like i like i other people it's like i like i other people it's like i like i like what am I going to say I like what am I going to say I like what am I going to say I don't know what I'm going to say don't know what I'm going to say don't know what I'm going to say and then you start getting and then you start getting and then you start getting worried worried worried and it gets worse and worse and and it gets worse and worse and and it gets worse and worse and then you know after a while then you know after a while then you know after a while you're just like I screw it i you're just like I screw it i you're just like I screw it i don't want to talk to people don't want to talk to people don't want to talk to people anymore I'm too nervous and I anymore I'm too nervous and I anymore I'm too nervous and I make too many mistakes and it's make too many mistakes and it's make too many mistakes and it's too frustrating and then you too frustrating and then you too frustrating and then you stopped stopped stopped so this is what we want to so this is what we want to so this is what we want to reverse we want to reverse this reverse we want to reverse this reverse we want to reverse this process of kind of a downward process of kind of a downward process of kind of a downward spiral spiral spiral it's like a spiral going like it's like a spiral going like it's like a spiral going like this where it's like something this where it's like something this where it's like something bad happens and you feel bad bad happens and you feel bad bad happens and you feel bad about it and it gets worse and about it and it gets worse and about it and it gets worse and worse worse worse we want to do the opposite where we want to do the opposite where we want to do the opposite where you get excited about something you get excited about something you get excited about something and start wanting to practice and start wanting to practice and start wanting to practice more and more which helps you more and more which helps you more and more which helps you start get fluent and you know start get fluent and you know start get fluent and you know getting more confident as well getting more confident as well getting more confident as well when you speak so the thing I'd when you speak so the thing I'd when you speak so the thing I'd like you to really remember for like you to really remember for like you to really remember for this video is that practice is this video is that practice is this video is that practice is the most important thing and the most important thing and the most important thing and practice is not learning and practice is not learning and practice is not learning and studying so these are really two studying so these are really two studying so these are really two different things where you're different things where you're different things where you're just you know kind of getting just you know kind of getting just you know kind of getting input only you're not putting input only you're not putting input only you're not putting anything back out again with anything back out again with anything back out again with learning a language you should learning a language you should learning a language you should be spending like the exact be spending like the exact be spending like the exact opposite amount of time maybe opposite amount of time maybe opposite amount of time maybe you spend five minutes learning you spend five minutes learning you spend five minutes learning something but then you spend two something but then you spend two something but then you spend two hours practicing it and if you hours practicing it and if you hours practicing it and if you can do that more instead of can do that more instead of can do that more instead of sitting here and watching videos sitting here and watching videos sitting here and watching videos and it's great if you can watch and it's great if you can watch and it's great if you can watch videos you can learn a lot of videos you can learn a lot of videos you can learn a lot of information but until you get information but until you get information but until you get into that actual situation where into that actual situation where into that actual situation where you're using what you learned it you're using what you learned it you're using what you learned it will never become automatic for will never become automatic for will never become automatic for you you you and the reason this happens is and the reason this happens is and the reason this happens is because
