essentials first who is a beginner did

and you want to relearn congratulations

you doing to say oh my god so I'm
learning Italian Theo thanks to the
sponsor of today's lesson duolingo I'm
starting to learn Italian my
great-grandmother Antoinette Penelope so
Italian and my great-grandfather came
from the south of Italy so it's my job
to learn Italian right even though I'm
really busy with my family and my job I
can find five to ten minutes to study a
quick fun lesson on the app but really
it doesn't feel like studying because
you get points and rewards which makes
learning a language feel like a game
because the app is completely free
anyone around the world can use it I
also have a special giveaway to ten
lucky subscribers on my channel but
you'll have to wait until the end of the
video to find out let's talk about my
top 5 tips for beginners in English my
first tip is number 1 learn vocabulary
look around your house and put notes on
items you can write just one word
or a simple sentence or a more complex
sentence when you use the microwave read
the word and sentence out loud you will
remember the word microwave the Senate
structure this is and the verb to heat
up go crazy and put notes everywhere
let's go to tip number two number two
improve listening watch simple English
videos like this lesson and listen to
simple English songs don't be worried
about using English subtitles or reading
English lyrics to the songs you're a
beginner so it's okay to use this extra
help subtitles and lyrics can help you a
lot make sure that you understand at
least 70% if you watch a 5 minute video
and you are completely lost stop it's
okay
find something easier when you
understand the ideas but not every
single word this is great that means
you're on the right path a good way to
improve your listening is with simple
songs what kind of music do you like the
Beatles Queen Taylor Swift whatever you
like choose one song look up the lyrics
and listen to the song again and again
with the lyrics you can sing too
congratulations you are improving your
listening skills right now with this
video all right let's go to tip number
three tip number three is practice
pronunciation
if you know a lot of English vocabulary
but other people can't understand you
easily when you speak that's a sad
situation so don't forget to practice
your pronunciation in tip number two
improve listening I said you should
watch simple English videos and listen
to simple English songs well you can use
these two to practice your pronunciation
listen to real English and repeat
directly after it it's important to hear
your own voice using English every time
you see an English sentence say it out
loud this is a microwave
every time you hear in English sentence
say it out loud we are the champions my
friends and we'll keep on fighting till
the end when you practice pronunciation
you are becoming more and more confident
when you speak I used to go to work
every day I used to go to work every day
I used to go to work every day are you
ready to practice pronunciation and
speak out loud all right let's do it
during tip number four my tip number
four for beginners learning English is
to grow your grammar skills this is the
biggest mistake that a lot of English
learners make they study only grammar
don't study tons and tons of grammar
books you will feel tired frustrated and
annoyed not good
I recommend studying basic sentence
structure and basic verb conjugations
what is basic sentence structure
subject-verb-object
vanessa is a teacher can you say that
with me vanessa is a teacher great work
you just practice your pronunciation
let's go on to some simple verb tenses I
recommend focusing on the simple past
the present continuous and the simple
future let's take a look at some
sentences and I challenge you to speak
out loud imitate my voice and say these
sentences directly after me are you
ready I watched this lesson it's your
turn say it out loud
great work this is the simple past
because it uses edie at the end I am
watching this lesson
your turn say it out loud great this is
the present continuous it's happening
right now I'm going to watch this lesson
say it out loud go ahead great this is
the future I
used going to and not will because going
to is more common in daily conversation
let's look at some more examples I
learned English go ahead say it out loud
excellent this is the simple past
because it uses Edie at the end I am
learning English say it out loud go
ahead
excellent this is the present continuous
it's happening right now you are
learning English I am going to learn
English say it out loud
excellent this is the future it's
something that is going to happen in the
future I ate breakfast say it out loud
go ahead
excellent work this is the simple past
but do you see Edie no this is in a
regular past tense of art there are a
lot of them in English I am eating
breakfast now it's your turn go ahead
great this is the present continuous
it's happening right now I'm going to
eat breakfast say it out loud
go ahead excellent work this is the
future and you're also using a
contraction I am becomes I'm so great
work imitating practicing your
pronunciation and also growing your
simple grammar skills are you ready to
learn vocabulary improve your listening
practice your pronunciation and grow
your grammar skills at the same time
