hey student watch this video and learn the best way to learn vocabulary in
English so that you can achieve English fluency and better understand and talk
to native or non-native speakers in English coming up hey friends teacher
Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English first of all
thank you so much for joining me on another English lesson if it's your
first time here I invite you to subscribe so that you don't miss any of
my weekly videos alright now let's dive into the content well before I do that I
want to invite you to download my free ebook as well the link is in the
description of this video all you gotta do is register your best email and
then you'll be able to download this really nice ebook where I share five
different strategies to help you better understand they talk to native and non-
native speakers in English now guys the first thing I need to tell you is
different people different ideas okay the best way to learn vocabulary so that
you can achieve English fluency and better understand people around you and
communicate more easily more clearly will have to be aligned with three
important elements okay the elements are your individual
learning style or your Learning Channel I'm gonna talk a little bit more about
that later on okay your schedule it doesn't matter where you are right now
okay you will need to sit down and think about the time you have to dedicate
yourself and no you don't need to spend long hours studying vocabulary in order
to learn it okay and finally you will need to have a clear
vocabulary goal-setting so you need to be very clear with the goals you have
with the vocabulary you want to learn now studying vocabulary like crazy will
not really make you a fluent speaker you know magically it will not
help you understand native speakers either if you promise yourself to learn
a hundred words every week that's not gonna happen okay there is a difference
between knowledge and understanding and I was reading this in a in a book for
for teachers and methodology this book emphasizes the importance of helping
students understand new information so perhaps right now you study a lot of
vocabulary you believe you know a lot of vocabulary but you haven't truly
understood that vocabulary that's why I invite you to think about this
studying long lists like crazy will not make you a fluent speaker
okay now vocabulary is important to help you achieve that but at the end of the
day but at the end of the day this will not magically make you understand native
speakers if you don't understand the difference between knowledge and
comprehension and understanding okay now your individual learning preference or
your learning style okay this is how you receive information okay that's
basically how you receive information let's picture your brain as a
destination okay what's the best way to get there how can new information travel
faster to your brain so by understanding your learning preference your Learning
Channel it'll be easier for the information to get to your brain and
stay there some people for example need to write something several times to be
able to remember it other people hate writing and cannot really connect to
this kind of practice by understanding how you learn faster and how you learn
information it'll be easier to learn vocabulary and really understand how to
use the words you study okay now let's take a look at the most common learning
styles okay we have here auditory learner I am an auditory person okay now
auditory people I'm not crazy don't think that they often talk to
themselves okay these are the people that you will see as you walk down the
street and there will be like moving the lips they're thinking they're talking to
themselves and sometimes they are not moving their lips quietly in many cases
they are speaking out loud not too loud but they are quietly speaking things
okay these are the people who love to read things out loud now for these
people it may be difficult to just read okay they may have trouble reading and
writing activities for them verbalizing information is the best way to go so
here one thing I like to do when I'm studying because as I told you I am an
auditory learner when I am studying new vocabulary I create audio flashcards so
I use an audio diary app and there I create my flashcard so I make lists of
words that I'm studying that I am learning that are important to me and
I'm gonna talk a little bit more about that and then I practice describing
those words creating examples but everything orally because I know that
this is the best way for me to learn new words for me to understand new words
okay visual people they can be linguistic you
know visual linguistic learners or they can be visual spatial learners visual
linguistic learners are connected to written language they learn by writing
things down reading and writing works really well for these people okay this
is the kind of strategy that you should adopt and how do you know your learning
style start paying attention to the things you do everyday to the way you do
things at work to the way you do things at home how do you learn something okay
how did you learn things at school more easily more quickly more efficiently
that's probably the same way you're going to learn the language okay the the
English language or any other language it'll be easier for you to understand
what kind of learner you are what your preferences are okay
now visual-spatial on the other hand doesn't really enjoy written language
writing things down they like to see things okay images and visual materials
videos with a lot of images for them to see this can be a negative thing too
because they can get very distracted alright these are the people who can
visualize things very easily they remember faces and images more easily
okay now if you're enjoying this video make sure to hit the like button I
really appreciate it when you do that and if possible share this lesson with your
friends I believe the information in this video can really help other people
who are trying to improve their English vocabulary so that they can you speak more
clearly and understand native or non-native speakers in English okay now
kinesthetic people they touch they move they can't stay still
this style can also be divided into two types movement and touch okay these
people will lose their focus if they can't move if there is no external
stimulation if there's no movement it'll be very hard for them to watch so how do
you know you're that kind of person well if you're here watching my lesson and
you're moving around maybe cooking maybe doing something because you can't stop
well there is a that's an indication okay doesn't mean you are but start
paying attention I have a student who every time we're having a lesson he
can't stop moving he's always moving something okay his movie and he's moving
his hands because he's a kinesthetic person this kind of people can't stop
and that's a good thing okay because if they do they will get bored and they
will lose interest this is also the kind of person that needs a lot of breaks you
cannot go on for many hours you can't study for 2-3 hours without breaks you
need more breaks than other people so if you're gonna study for two hours let's
say one hour okay you need three breaks maybe four I am not exaggerating this is
difficult for you guys accept it and have more
during your study time okay now schedule the second element I told you guys about
establishing a schedule will help you stay on track okay most people in my
online program in my Academy the Real English Academy give me this feedback
that the real English Academy really helps them with this schedule so that they
can stay consistent so that they know what to do because it's all there they
have a schedule they know what they got to do now doing that on your own is a
little bit more challenging and this is exactly what is gonna help you succeed
you also need to understand the importance of delaying gratification yes
what is that our brain hates that our brain wants the results yesterday not
now yesterday what are you talking about today that's too late so working to
achieve your long-term goal of becoming a fluent speaker of improving mastering
words in English will go against your brain nature I repeat this is your brain
nature this is everybody's brain nature we don't like delaying gratification
okay we want the results now we want to feel good now okay and because of that
when you set up a schedule for your short-term medium-term and long-term
goals your brain will not really like that okay however by setting up this
schedule and every week following it it will be easier to manage your brains
constant inner desire to quit because if you never have a schedule and you
have a plan okay you want to be fluent by the end of the year that's great I
want to be fluent and you can do it I believe you can do anything you want but
you have to work hard you have to do your part okay now you do that you have
your plan but after that you don't have any consistent planning like what
exactly you're going to do the steps what kind of exercises what kind of
practices what days this is not clear so it'll be
very easy for your brain to manipulate you and make you quit and make you want
to give up because it'll tell you look but we have no idea what to do come on
this is a waste of time you studied twice last week this
week you have studied once this is clearly not working so let's go and
let's watch Netflix yo by having a schedule it'll be easier to fight your
brain's nature you will never change that ok I repeat I had the same challenge we
can't change that but we can manage it and having a schedule we help you become
stronger ok does this mean you have to study every day no absolutely not you
have to be consistent that's what you need you don't need to study like too
much you just need to be consistent with your schedule and your schedule needs to
allow you to follow what I like to call my SPR system study practice review so i
don't know how you're going to do this because i don't know how much time you
have okay I don't know what your schedule is like I don't know when you
go to school when I go to work when you go to the gym so I can't really give you
a recommendation on that you need to sit down and think about it okay but what is
the SPR system know this is not something I got in a book this is
something that I put together it's not really a method it's just something it's
just a sequence that I like to tell me students study practice review so you
need to have these different moments in your routine studying really getting
down to business checking examples checking definitions
writing them down if you like to write them down recording your voice
speaking explanations that study time practice time how can I include this in
conversations how can I use this word it's time to practice I already know
what it means so how can I create examples real-life examples connect
things connected to my life that's practice time 3-4 days later well I
learned amazing things but did I review them
it's important to review because our brain is a little lazy takes a little
bit of time to connect with the new information
that's why creating real-life examples will make it easier for your brain to
remember because when you create real-life memories things connected to
things that happen in your life you create stronger memories okay
you need these three elements to make a strong schedule a strong vocabulary
practice schedule okay some students worry too much about
learning more and more and more words and they end up not remembering any of
them okay that's why it is important to follow this system the SPR system you
don't need to call it this system okay I like it how many days are you going to
study how many days are you going to dedicate to each part is totally up to
you be realistic with how much time you have okay don't go bananas and decide to
study six times a week and then you can't keep your end in the bargain your
brain is going to tell you hey you can't do it maybe you should just quit so be
realistic okay today I study pronunciation and accent sometimes twice
a week sometimes three times a week it depends on the week but it's never less
than that either two or three it depends on the week but never less okay
because I know about the importance of being realistic with my schedule and I'm
just talking about pronunciation and accent I haven't told you about
vocabulary about grammar reading listening because I have to practice all
of these guys too okay the next element is clear
vocabulary go setting students fail to improve their vocabulary level and
finally achieve English fluency because they don't need they don't give the
necessary importance to having a clear vocabulary goal why am I gonna learn this
phrasal verb because teacher Prix told me to no vocabulary goals needs to be
connected to contextualized conversations new words should help you explain your
opinions they need to help you explain your opinions your desires your fears
your preferences etc so many other things things that are important to you
okay don't focus on the word focus on a
conversation the words you need to talk about that subject
will come and they are the ones you should study learn practice and review
so think about the things you want to talk about and start having a mental
conversation what words don't you know these are the words you have to study
this is the best way to learn English vocabulary other than that my friends
thank you so much share this lesson and I'll see you tomorrow for another one
bye bye
