hello and welcome back to lesson 2
2 in your free 7-day email video course
course from English anyone . com I'm
I'm drew Badger and today you are
are going to learn three important
important things you should stop doing
doing
doing if
if you want to get fluent in real
real spoken english remember from
from yesterday first
first of all that you should be thinking
thinking about your goals did
did you make your English vision board
board I know you don't have to make
make one
make one but
but if you take the time to make a
a vision board I
I promise you you will be able to
to see your goal much
much much more clearly really think
think about what you want and then
then you will be able to achieve it
it easily
it easily let's
let's continue with today's lesson
lesson the first most horrible thing
thing you could do for your learning
learning of English is to try to master
master grammar using a grammar textbook
textbook
textbook there
there are two things you need to remember
remember about learning English grammar
grammar
grammar the
the first is that you should learn
learn grammar naturally
naturally the second is that you do
do not need to know the names of grammar
grammar points if you go ask a native
native speaker what
what a past participle is or a split
split infinitive is they will not
not be able to tell you most
most native speakers do not know this
this information only an English teacher
teacher would be able to tell you
you what either of these two things
things are and this should give you
you some really important clue to
to how to learn English naturally
naturally think about your own native
native language you
you probably don't remember what you
you learned in school it
it wasn't very fun and you are trying
trying to learn your own language
language using a grammar grammar textbook
textbook that your teacher gave you
you
you you
you also probably don't remember most
most of the names of the grammar points
points you studied how did you learn
learn grammar you
you learn grammar naturally we'll
we'll teach you more about how to
to learn grammar later in this video
video series but for today just
just understand that it's not helpful
helpful to study grammar rules using
using a grammar textbook it
it won't be memorable and you don't
don't need to know that information
information all
all you need to know is how to understand
understand what native speakers are
are saying so
so you can have a better conversation
conversation but more about that in
in a later video lesson the
the second thing you need to stop
stop doing is stop worrying about
about the pronunciation of individual
individual words on youtube and other
other video sharing sites we see a
a lot of people that are trying to
to practice pronunciation of individual
individual words as an example the
the word - we use this one regularly
regularly when teaching students the
the word to by itself usually has
has the pronunciation - but
but in a larger sentence the word
word to the pronunciation of it changes
changes and this is what you need
need to understand as a learner of
of English you need to think like
like a native speaker and understand
understand that you learn words in
in groups
in groups this
this is how you get fluent in English
English much much faster because it
it helps you understand the pronunciation
pronunciation of one word by
by comparing it or using it in a phrase
phrase or a group of words together
together in the example of two i can
can say i'm going to the store I'm
I'm going to the store the pronunciation
pronunciation of two became too I'm
I'm going to the store now you see
see that the pronunciation of the
the word changes so
so what you need to be listening for
for his whole phrases whole groups
groups of words and how that pronunciation
pronunciation affect the sound of
of one word the last thing you need
need to stop doing is worrying about
about your pronunciation before
before you can have a great conversation
conversation i've seen so many students
students that really want to have
have great pronunciation before they
they can have a conversation this
this doesn't make any sense why would
would you want to worry about your
your pronunciation before you can
can even speak think about babies
babies in your own language most
most young learners of your language
language
language it
it takes them maybe four or even five
five years or longer to learn how
how to pronounce your language using
using great normal
normal pronunciation the same thing
thing is true for English learners
learners especially if your language
language is different from English
English so if you want to get fluent
fluent in real spoken english and
and have great pronunciation stop
stop worrying about pronunciation
pronunciation first begin talking
talking
talking top
top top top top top speak as much
much as you can and then you will
will begin to see real improvement
improvement in your pronunciation
pronunciation it's
it's boring and not helpful to try
try to practice pronunciation before
before you can speak remember
remember these three things don't
don't worry about studying grammar
grammar rules because that information
information will not help you and
and it will make you dislike learning
learning English even more because
because it's not very fun so
so throw the grammar book away also
also remember to stop worrying about
about the pronunciation of individual
individual words it's
it's ok to study the pronunciation
pronunciation of individual sounds
sounds so a word may have many sounds
sounds in it those
those sounds are important to study
study and that's why we teach phonics
phonics to students but don't worry
worry about project pronouncing or
or practicing one particular sound
sound forward because that sound will
will change and finally don't worry
worry about pronunciation before
before you can speak even if you don't
don't
don't have
have great pronunciation just speak
speak and you will start seeing real
real improvement in your English much
much much faster well
