hey there teacher Prix here with another video for you
today I'm gonna answer a quick question that many of you get teacher Prix why
do I get stuck in this case I used you here but let's change that to I why do I
get stuck when I want to speak English okay in this video there are many things
that may be causing that but I'm gonna focus on two very important ones okay
the first one is the brain and the second one is the lessons I would say
here the method but I'm gonna explain a little bit more about that to you now
what's going on here when I say brain if you don't know brain check it out that's
a brain okay you get stuck because there's something that happens to your
brain when you are learning a language when you are trying to communicate okay
your brain is gonna use the information based on the memories that it has about
that language but if you don't have your emotions in control it gets very
difficult for your brain to access the information you have so if you don't
control your emotions they will control you so this is a big problem that
English learners have they let their emotions control them teacher Prix
what can I do to control my emotions and not get stuck
well preparation okay ah but teacher what do you mean I will
explain well let's think of a band let's suppose they have a concert a show for
next week what are they going to do until
the event comes they are going to prepare they are going to get the
instruments they are gonna consider the songs choose the songs they are going to
play they are gonna get together rehearse if they are going to another
country they are gonna book tickets they are going to prepare because if they
don't do this preparation they will get very stressed and consequently their
emotions will control them now if they have the wrong preparation they will
also lose focus and get stressed and lea their emotions control them and why do
I say the right preparation because many times you are doing the wrong things
that you believe are right that you believe are preparing you so then by the
time you have to talk to someone because you had all the wrong preparation it
doesn't work you get stuck okay now the second thing is super connected to the
first the lessons okay the method alright this is super important and many
English learners do not pay attention to this yeah I know it happens it took me
some time to realize this too your brain can't be stressed if your brain is going
through difficult emotions anxiety nervousness anger, you won't
remember anything okay I had a problem once at an airport in Washington DC and
I was so angry so angry that I couldn't remember many words in English I had a
problem I had a problem I was a stuck at the airport I was extremely
angry and my English was not that great why because I was too nervous my brain
was not focused on English my brain was focused on killing somebody because I
was super angry now the second thing as I told you the lessons
maybe right now you are not doing the necessary thing to help your brain deal
with the situations more confidently more clearly okay now I don't know what
you do and how you do it but if you are getting stuck when you are communicating
there's a reason and the reason is here is in how you study when you study and
what you study okay I sometimes make grammar videos I think a few weeks ago I
made a video about uncountable nouns I have many kinds of videos present
perfect simple present simple past but at the end of the day if you don't know
why you are studying something for your brain it's a waste of time you need to
give clear directions to your brain imagine when you have a car a car and
you are gonna use a GPS let's say you are in the USA and you just put Brazil
in the GPS well ok Brazil is huge where exactly are you trying to go ok so this
is the thing maybe you are not really being clear on what you are studying but
let's go back to the GPS again now let's imagine you have a specific place you
know where you're going alright how are you going to get there the
methodology how are you studying so that you can have a good result for your
brain to succeed and deliver what you want communication not getting stuck and
then we go back to the brain again you need to give the right stimulation to
your brain visual auditory kinesthetic if you give the right stimulations
your brain will work and you will remember the lessons you study the
problem is that many of the lessons that you are studying in English are
completely disconnected today you watch one video
about grammar tomorrow you watch a video about likes
and dislikes the next day you watch a funny video about animals oh cute animals and another
day you watch a video about future and then your brain is like dude what are you
doing what exactly do we need to do there's no sequence your brain needs
discipline your brain needs sequence what exactly are you studying why are
you studying you are an adult adults need reasons explanations if your
study routine is disconnected when you speak you will be disconnected you will
get stuck so these are some things you need to analyze if you are getting stuck
when you communicate maybe the way you study is not helping you maybe what you
are studying is not helping you maybe the frequency you are studying is
not helping you because these situations are completely disconnected and not just
that they are disconnected with the real world the real English people speak
because let's be honest there are so many videos on YouTube there are so many
websites on the internet but there are lots of lessons it's like a huge
supermarket lots of food but what exactly will feed you will feed your
hunger what exactly do you need in what situations do you need to speak English
and you are getting stuck start analyzing that focus on how on when and
what you study and practice without practice your brain will get stuck too
but we can talk about practice in another video if you enjoy this kind of
video and I hope you did make sure to leave a comment share it with your friends
and I will see you next time! Bye!
