again how she's doing
again how she's doing but anyway so when you're kind
but anyway so when you're kind
but anyway so when you're kind of teaching a child like that
of teaching a child like that
of teaching a child like that most people don't realize
most people don't realize
most people don't realize they're doing this because
they're doing this because
they're doing this because they're just native speakers and
they're just native speakers and
they're just native speakers and they don't really think about
they don't really think about
they don't really think about the language but when they're
the language but when they're
the language but when they're teaching their own children this
teaching their own children this
teaching their own children this is what they're doing they're
is what they're doing they're
is what they're doing they're kind of doing these two things
kind of doing these two things
kind of doing these two things one is explicitly teaching the
one is explicitly teaching the
one is explicitly teaching the particular word for something
particular word for something
particular word for something like water or toast or milk and
like water or toast or milk and
like water or toast or milk and then they're also using longer
then they're also using longer
then they're also using longer phrases that because they use
phrases that because they use
phrases that because they use them over and over again just
them over and over again just
them over and over again just become understood as one
become understood as one
become understood as one complete unit so could you bring
complete unit so could you bring
complete unit so could you bring me a book or could you bring me
me a book or could you bring me
me a book or could you bring me that book over there she
that book over there she
that book over there she understands what I'm talking
understands what I'm talking
understands what I'm talking about
about
about so there's there's kind of a
so there's there's kind of a
so there's there's kind of a bridge between these two things
bridge between these two things
bridge between these two things where you're using maybe
where you're using maybe
where you're using maybe individual words to teach these
individual words to teach these
individual words to teach these longer phrases but still year
longer phrases but still year
longer phrases but still year using the complete phrases
using the complete phrases
using the complete phrases you're using them over and over
you're using them over and over
you're using them over and over again because the child hears
again because the child hears
again because the child hears that they understand these
that they understand these
that they understand these things so this is the kind of
things so this is the kind of
things so this is the kind of foundational difference between
foundational difference between
foundational difference between the way a non-native speaker
the way a non-native speaker
the way a non-native speaker would learn and the way a native
would learn and the way a native
would learn and the way a native speaker with learned so what I
speaker with learned so what I
speaker with learned so what I really want to make clear with
really want to make clear with
really want to make clear with this video in addition to other
this video in addition to other
this video in addition to other points i will make later is that
points i will make later is that
points i will make later is that if you want to get fluent you
if you want to get fluent you
if you want to get fluent you have to understand that you have
have to understand that you have
have to understand that you have to learn the way native speakers
to learn the way native speakers
to learn the way native speakers learn in order to speak the way
learn in order to speak the way
learn in order to speak the way native speaker speed so it makes
native speaker speed so it makes
native speaker speed so it makes complete sense in anything else
complete sense in anything else
complete sense in anything else if you want to learn how to make
if you want to learn how to make
if you want to learn how to make money go learn from people that
money go learn from people that
money go learn from people that know how to make money don't

learn from people they don't
learn from people they don't know how to make money that are
know how to make money that are
know how to make money that are just talking about making money
just talking about making money
just talking about making money so it's the difference between
so it's the difference between

clearly and you're not talking
clearly and you're not talking about things like poetry or
about things like poetry or
about things like poetry or novels you're just trying to
novels you're just trying to
novels you're just trying to give information then you could
give information then you could
give information then you could read books that are like how-to
read books that are like how-to
read books that are like how-to books about you know
books about you know
books about you know self-development or how to fix a
self-development or how to fix a
self-development or how to fix a car or anything else like that
car or anything else like that
car or anything else like that and i want you to this is
and i want you to this is
and i want you to this is exactly what you should be doing
exactly what you should be doing
exactly what you should be doing literally copy that information
literally copy that information
literally copy that information by hand so you would take a
by hand so you would take a
by hand so you would take a pencil or a pen and write in a
pencil or a pen and write in a
pencil or a pen and write in a notebook the actual words that
notebook the actual words that
notebook the actual words that you're reading
you're reading
you're reading yes this takes time but this is
yes this takes time but this is
yes this takes time but this is slowing down the language so
slowing down the language so
slowing down the language so that it makes it much easier for
that it makes it much easier for
that it makes it much easier for you to read that thing and to
you to read that thing and to
you to read that thing and to speak that thing later on so
speak that thing later on so
speak that thing later on so when I talk about slowing down
when I talk about slowing down
when I talk about slowing down the language this is the
the language this is the
the language this is the difference between you have two
difference between you have two
difference between you have two people in the front of a car one
people in the front of a car one
people in the front of a car one is the driver and one is the
is the driver and one is the
is the driver and one is the passenger now the driver and the
passenger now the driver and the
passenger now the driver and the passenger are typically looking
passenger are typically looking
passenger are typically looking at the same thing but it's not
at the same thing but it's not
at the same thing but it's not going into both of their minds
going into both of their minds
going into both of their minds the like the information about
the like the information about
the like the information about that is not going into their
that is not going into their
that is not going into their minds in the same way because
minds in the same way because
minds in the same way because the passenger knows that they
the passenger knows that they
the passenger knows that they don't have to think and they
don't have to think and they
don't have to think and they don't have to remember really
don't have to remember really
don't have to remember really where they're going they can
where they're going they can
where they're going they can just kind of sit back and enjoy
just kind of sit back and enjoy
just kind of sit back and enjoy the view maybe look at a book or
the view maybe look at a book or
the view maybe look at a book or something else but the driver
something else but the driver
something else but the driver has to actually pay attention
has to actually pay attention
has to actually pay attention and nose
and nose
and nose we're going so the reader of a
we're going so the reader of a
we're going so the reader of a book in that case like the the
book in that case like the the
book in that case like the the analogy here the person who's
analogy here the person who's
analogy here the person who's reading a book versus the person
reading a book versus the person
reading a book versus the person who's writing the book they get
who's writing the book they get
who's writing the book they get a much different experience of
a much different experience of
a much different experience of that thing
that thing
that thing so even if you read something
so even if you read something
so even if you read something and then try to write something
and then try to write something
and then try to write something different later it's going to be
different later it's going to be
different later it's going to be much more difficult in the same
much more difficult in the same
much more difficult in the same way that if you see it as a
way that if you see it as a
way that if you see it as a passenger in a car and let
passenger in a car and let
passenger in a car and let someone else drive you and then
someone else drive you and then
someone else drive you and then they say oh could you drive me
they say oh could you drive me
they say oh could you drive me there tomorrow and you say i
there tomorrow and you say i
there tomorrow and you say i don't know how to get there and
don't know how to get there and
don't know how to get there and it's exactly the same process so
it's exactly the same process so
it's exactly the same process so you learn how to get there when
you learn how to get there when
you learn how to get there when you actually start writing the
you actually start writing the
you actually start writing the same thing they're writing so if

writer so it's one of those
writer so it's one of those things that like you
things that like you
things that like you can't get beyond the practice of
can't get beyond the practice of
can't get beyond the practice of it and this is one of the most
it and this is one of the most
it and this is one of the most fundamental things to understand
fundamental things to understand
fundamental things to understand about learning languages it's
about learning languages it's
about learning languages it's not knowledge that you get any
not knowledge that you get any
not knowledge that you get any just put in your head and you
just put in your head and you
just put in your head and you think I ok I understand that
think I ok I understand that
think I ok I understand that grammar . logically it's almost
grammar . logically it's almost
grammar . logically it's almost like an emotional thing it's a
like an emotional thing it's a
like an emotional thing it's a thing that's a connective thing
thing that's a connective thing
thing that's a connective thing in your mind that you have to
in your mind that you have to
in your mind that you have to train yourself just like
train yourself just like
train yourself just like learning an instrument or
learning an instrument or
learning an instrument or learning to play a sport because
learning to play a sport because
learning to play a sport because if you don't do that then you
if you don't do that then you
if you don't do that then you won't actually be able to use it
won't actually be able to use it
won't actually be able to use it so i might understand if I go
so i might understand if I go
so i might understand if I go watch like that like a baseball
watch like that like a baseball
watch like that like a baseball training camp i might say I
training camp i might say I
training camp i might say I might hear from someone hey
might hear from someone hey
might hear from someone hey here's how you throw a curveball
here's how you throw a curveball
here's how you throw a curveball and he just he shows me the
and he just he shows me the
and he just he shows me the motion and I think okay
motion and I think okay
motion and I think okay logically I understand what he's
logically I understand what he's
logically I understand what he's talking about that's pretty easy
talking about that's pretty easy
talking about that's pretty easy that took me five minutes but it
that took me five minutes but it
that took me five minutes but it might take me you know two years
might take me you know two years
might take me you know two years to master the actual throwing of
to master the actual throwing of
to master the actual throwing of a curveball just because i have
a curveball just because i have
a curveball just because i have to watch somebody doing at first
to watch somebody doing at first
to watch somebody doing at first but then I have to spend all the
but then I have to spend all the
but then I have to spend all the time practicing and getting
time practicing and getting
time practicing and getting myself to the point where i can
myself to the point where i can
myself to the point where i can do it automatically or fluently
do it automatically or fluently
do it automatically or fluently so fluent just refers to being
so fluent just refers to being
so fluent just refers to being able to do something without
able to do something without
able to do something without thinking about it and so it's
thinking about it and so it's
thinking about it and so it's the same thing with reading and
the same thing with reading and
the same thing with reading and writing so writing is really the
writing so writing is really the
writing so writing is really the first step you can read
first step you can read
first step you can read information but I say even begin

how-to book and that will help
how-to book and that will help you get better not only at
you get better not only at
you get better not only at writing the information but it
writing the information but it
