welcome to series English today once
again I'm not going to teach you
anything and in grammar vocabulary
something like this I'm just going to
give you several pieces of advice or
tips so first of all in this particular
video I'm just going to give you some
general ideas and there will be one more
video where I'll give you some
particular tips I'm going to say
connected with particular techniques and
methods so I've decided to reorganize my
way of giving you my tips so well
because I think that it's more logical
so as I've already said let's start with
some general ideas the first thing which
I should say is that to study foreign
language you should have a very good
reason for that
so very good motivation and you should
find it yourself because nowadays it's
not so difficult so you can have it can
be your passion your hobby yeah and you
could enjoy the process because actually
learning foreign language if you do it
correctly it's really enjoyable and
interesting in addition to that it can
be really important for your career or
for instance you would like to marry a
foreigner in addition to that if you
want to learn a foreign language
actually you are supposed to study
everyday so as often as possible
even though if you spend like 10 minutes
a days even that is okay and it's better
than if you spend like an hour but just
once a week so try to do it as often as
possible and to do so you should
surround yourself with English
background of course if you are in an
english-speaking country well there's no
problem but still if you are not you
have to do it yourself surround yourself
with English you can do different you
can do it using different ways for
instance you can read English books
listen to English music watch English
films or films
English translation you can do some
chatting with your friends in English as
a hobby as a fun way of chatting you can
do anything actually so just try to
remember about English as often as
possible then your progress will be very
quick yeah much quicker than usual
another way of surrounding yourself with
a foreign language is to write a diary
in it so you can pick a paper diary or
you can just write an electronic one on
LiveJournal
or somewhere else and it would be quite
useful since you'll practice formulating
your idea in English well quite often
and this is very important of course one
good reason to study a language and one
good practice of doing that is traveling
if you even if you go not to an
english-speaking country still usually
in most countries there are people who
speak English and you can practice
talking so do that travel and practice
speaking a foreign language so in this
case you'll combine business with
pleasure as another way of surrounding
yourself with English you can try to
find an english-speaking pen pal that's
actually quite a good idea and now with
all those gadgets and techniques you can
even speak online using Skype something
like that it's even more useful when I
was a kid and I started learning English
I found a friend from Spain if I'm not
mistaken her friend her name was lorena
or something like this I really enjoyed
communicating with her course we use e
mails but still it was fun one more very
important issue that you should not be
afraid of making mistakes because a lot
of people do not speak whatsoever only
because they think that they make a lot
of mistakes and so on but here you
shouldn't also know the boundaries
because if you keep talking and nobody
understands you it means something then
you should work harder
yeah and you should so it's not a key of
course you can make mistakes because
everybody does even native speakers so
it's not a big deal however of course
well there should be not so many of them
they may are the most important thing
that other people should understand you
so the communicative well aspect would
work so group activities also boost your
progress it's a good idea for instance
when I studied at the university I went
to the British Council and we had some
chat with other people studying English
and there was one native speaker so it
was quite useful because I had to talk
for quite a long period of time however
when these groups are too big of course
it's not actually very good because you
do not have a lot of / tuna teas to
speak since you should try hard you
should make yourself speak you should
overcome your fear and overcome your
complexes because speaking well is of
course important and the last piece of
advice which I would like to give to you
that is to give to provide you with some
food for thought is that it's actually a
very good idea sometimes to record
yourself you can record yourself when
you will speak on the spot without any
preparation and then you can listen to
yourself over and over again and find
some mistakes because to tell the truth
sometimes you make mistakes and after
you analyze your speech you can spot
them and then it would be quite useful
okay I guess that's it about some
general ideas and general techniques in
my next video well devoted to the
question of how to study foreign
language I will tell you some well
practical techniques and practical
methods which you can use so we're going
to get down to business so and to talk
in detail that's it for today
