Get ready for a super special English lesson because I'm joined by the best English teachers
on YouTube. Hello Eat Sleep Dreamers. Hey guys, it's Lucy from English with Lucy. Hi
everybody this is Korean Billy. Hello everyone, my name is Anna English from English Like
a Native. Hi, we're Joel and Lia. Hello everybody, my name is Elliott. I'm Sabrah from Love English.
I'm super excited guys, I hope you are too, so let's get going!
So I asked my favourite English teachers on YouTube for one golden tip that they give
their learners about how to learn English. I'm sure you are going to find each tip really
useful. Now once you have finished watching this video, I would like you to go and visit
all of their channels, watch their videos, subscribe and give them some love. Alright
let's get our first tip from Isabel and Philippe from Amigos Ingleses.
Hello Eat Sleep Dreamers, how's it going? I hope you are well. So what is our golden
rule for learning English Isabel? So the golden rule from Amigos Ingleses is to immerse yourself
in the language. It's as simple as that, this is what Philippe and I did so now Philippe
speaks fluent Spanish, I speak fluent English. So he came to live in Spain, I moved to Cambridge
and this meant an incredible boost for our language learning process. Didn't it Philippe?
All you have to do is get deep into the language and the culture. Yes, immerse yourself, but
you don't always have to travel to immerse yourself. You could also immerse yourself
from your own country and integrate English into your daily routine. So that means listening
to music in English, going to watch films in English, going to meet-ups and meeting
native speakers and practising your English with them. Using all the resources on the
Internet to improve your English. So there's no excuse really, you can immerse yourself
by travelling or staying in your own country. Yes and if everything fails and you are single
just find yourself an English husband or an English wife. That's pretty convenient and
cheap. I'm not cheap. Ok, everyone thank you. Thank you Tom and the dreamers. Take care,
bye bye.
Thank you so much Isabel and Philippe. Yes, I love that tip. Immerse yourself in the language
wherever you are in the world. One idea that I always tell my students is to turn their
phones from their native language into English so that they get used to looking at English
all the time. Because how often do we look at our phones? I mean, too many times in the
day and so if you've got your phone in English then you're having that contact with English
every day, almost all day. Now it might be a bit tricky to begin with but you'll get
used to it. I did that when I lived in Spain and Argentina. I turned my phone into Spanish.
It was great, really useful. And yes, if all else fails, yeah. Find an English partner.
Alright who is next?
Hey guys, it's Lucy from English with Lucy. The top tip that I'd like to share with you
today is fake it till you make it. If you feel shy or if you feel unconfident while
speaking English, pretend that you are confident, pretend that you know what you are talking
about until you actually do. It's something that helps me a lot with public speaking.
I know have to speak sometimes in public and I always go up, I pretend I'm confident and
slowly but surely I start to feel more confident. So that's my tip for you today, I hope you
find it useful. Thank you very much Lucy, yes confidence is such an issue especially
for learners of, well learners of any language but particularly learners of English. So this
could be a really useful technique to help you gain more confidence and believe in your
own ability. I often find practising in front of a mirror or into your voice recorder is
a great way to begin to build confidence. And then when you are in a conversation, fake
it till you make it. Why not! Fantastic, ok. Next one! Hi everybody this is Korean Billy
and I'm running a YouTube channel called Korean Billy. So a piece of advice I would like to
give you guys is start from where you are. So for example, maybe you are watching this
video in your room holding your mobile phone or you are watching this video outside, right?
So wherever you are, just look around your self and around you there are lots of kinds
of things, right? For example, there could be a mirror or there could be a mouse then
change everything you see from your native language into English. Some would be quite
easy for you to change into English and some would be a bit difficult for you to change
into English, right? Then start from there and by doing that you can kind of instantly
feel that your English skill would be improved because you would be able to start to speak
in English about things around you. So start from where you are and change everything around
you into English and then move on to the next level. Well I hope my advice could give you
an idea about learning English and thank you so much. Thanks Tom.
Thank you very much Billy and yes start from where you are. I often tell my students to
label things around the house with sticky notes. So let's say there's a word that you
can't remember. Wardrobe for example, you can never remember the word wardrobe. Well
use a sticky note, write the word wardrobe and stick it on to your wardrobe. So that
every time you go to open it up to get some clothes you see that word and it becomes fixed
in your mind. So start with the objects around and then move on from there. Ok, next one.
Hello everyone, my name is Anna English from English Like a Native and my top learning
tip is to use music. Now music is fantastic for getting information into your long term
memory. So every couple of weeks, choose a few songs that you really enjoy, look up the
lyrics, find out what all the words and phrases mean and then simply sing to your heart's
content. And before you know it, you will have increased your vocabulary, you'll have
a better understanding of sentence structure and grammar. So what are you waiting for?
La la la.
Thank you Anna, very much. Yes! Music is an amazing way to learn English. I've done a
few videos on here with Ed Sheeran and Coldplay helping you learn English through those songs.
I just think that the language in songs is fantastic. You are going to get interesting
grammar structures, you are going to get new vocabulary often lot of sort of colloquial
or slang language. You are going to hear such natural English and in a fun way. Yeah I completely
agree with Anna, music is a fantastic way to learn English.
Hi, we are Joel and Lia and we've got two tips because we are two people. So it's two
for the price of one. Which is a saying we have in our super markets. So our first tip
would be , don't be afraid to throw away the text book and look for alternate methods of
learning like online. You are probably already in the right place. Don't be afraid to watch
British TV, British vloggers and listen to real people. Yep, and my biggest tip would
be not to ignore British culture. It's one thing to learn the English language really
well but if you don't learn much about British culture then it's not really going to work
because those two things come hand in hand. So chuck away the text book, learn about culture
and you are on for a winner. Thanks for having us, bye.
Thank you Joel and Lia for your fantastic tips. And yes absolutely guys, YouTube is
an amazing place to learn English, you have all these amazing teachers at your finger
tips. Start with them. And then also yeah, look at vloggers that you can watch to improve
your listening and your vocabulary. Alright, next!
Hello everybody my name is Elliott and I'm from a little channel called ETJ English.
Now my piece of advice for you today is especially useful for those of you that want to improve
your pronunciation. Now what I want you to do is try to learn things in small amounts
but more often. And the reason why is when we try to learn loads of stuff in a really
long session it kind of becomes a waste of time because we forget loads of stuff, we
get stressed out and the learning process kind of becomes a chore, something we don't
want to do. So next time you try to learn or improve something I want you to take anywhere
between ten to thirty minutes but maybe two to five times per day, if you can obviously.
And really dedicate this time to focusing on one or two important things that you want
to practise or learn. And hopefully you should remember some more stuff, you won't get as
stressed and also the most important thing English will become a part of your daily life,
and that, that's what we want.
Thank you so much Elliott, absolutely. Habit forming is so important when it comes to learning.
Learning anything really, but yeah learning English, yeah. Creating habits for yourself.
I totally agree, keeping it short and simple. It could be ten minutes or twenty minutes
absolutely. Doing it every day, rather than learning for three hours on one day a week,
learning in little bite sized chunks every single day. That way you are going to progress
so much quicker. Great stuff, alright who's next? I'm Sabrah from Love English and today
I'm sharing my hot tip with you all about how to personalise language so that you remember
it more easily. Now learning a language means using your memory a lot. You have to remember
the new grammar forms and the new vocabulary. However it's difficult to do that, we have
to really think and use our memories all the time. But if you personalise the language
you use, meaning make it relevant for you so make it about you. You will remember it
more easily. And this is because we remember things which are about us which are relevant
to our lives. So for example, if you learn a new adjective like to be hard-working you
could think about the fact of are you a hard-working person? Do you think you are a hard-working
person? Or maybe you think you're not. Maybe you are the opposite. Maybe you are a lazy
person. So this process of you considering these things about yourself will help you
to remember the vocabulary. You could even write a sentence like 'I'm not a hard-working
person, but my father is.' And this way hopefully you should remember it more. Thank you very
much guys, now handing over to Leila who is in Venice. Lucky her! And she's going to tell
us a little bit more about this technique.
Good luck with your English guys. Personalisation, talking about your experiences. The people
you know, the places you've been. Let's looks at the present perfect as an example. I've
been to Venice, where have you been? It's no good writing about other people's experiences
because those connections here won't be made. The same goes for vocabulary. When you learn
new words try and put it in a context that you can relate to. So tourist, crowded. There
are many tourists in Venice. There were many tourists in Venice when i went there. It was
really crowded. This method should help you develop your vocabulary and remember those
grammatical structures. Hope that was helpful. Thank you Leila and Sabrah, I love that tip,
personalising the language. So i remember learning a word in Argentina called 'Quilombo'.
It's a slang word, it means a mess or a chaotic situation. Now I went to a football match
where there was a riot, there was police it was very dangerous and I remember looking
in the newspapers the next day and it said it was a quilombo, a disaster. And I have
always attached that word to that moment that I experienced. So i was using my personal
experience to connect to a word and they've been together ever since and so I won't forget
that word because I remember that situation very clearly. And finally here's my tip for
how to learn English. In my opinion the best way to learn English is to do it through your
passion. To do it through the things that you love. So if you love yoga, go onto YouTube
and type in 'yoga class' and find YouTubers that teach yoga in English. And watch their
videos, do the thing that you love, which is yoga, and listen to English and you will
pick up the important vocabulary, the topic vocabulary that's related to your passion.
You'll get their accent, you'll get their pronunciation everything will be there. If
you live in a big city, perhaps you could find a yoga class that's done in English.
Right guys that was an amazing collection of tips to help you improve your English.
I'd like you to do a couple of things for me. First thing is to go and visit all of
those channels, go and subscribe to them, watch their videos. The next thing is I'd
