Hi everyone, I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today, I'm gonna be telling you about how to learn new English vocabulary
and use it in everyday conversation.
This is a very important video.
So keep watching.
A lot of my students are studying the TOEFL, TOEIC, IELTS, or other English tests.
And I understand.
They have to learn a lot of new words in a very short period of time.
But let me tell you something Memorizing vocabulary lists is not a good
way to learn English.
The best way - the very best way to learn English is by reading.
Reading anything that you can.
Books in English.
Magazine articles in English.
Even comic books.
Whatever you like - read - and read as much as you can.
This is really going to help you improve your English much more than memorizing long vocabulary
lists.
It just doesn't work.
But, the thing is, how can we use this vocabulary in everyday conversation?
The most important thing to do is as soon as you learn a new vocabulary word or even
a phrase, Use it!
right away!
Make yourself a note or something to help you remember to use that
in conversation.
Even the Using the vocabulary right away is going to
help you memorize it and stick in your brain.
And you know what, you might be afraid that you're gonna use it wrong or incorrectly
That's okay.
If you use it wrong or incorrectly - not a problem,
that's part of the learning process.
And using what you read is going to help you memorize the English words a lot faster.
By actively using new vocabulary every day, you're going to really memorize that
and it's gonna help you become a better English speaker much faster.
Memorizing vocabulary lists is not a good way to learn English.
If you don't use the new words, then you won't master pronunciation and you might forget
the words.
So remember.
Read it and use it.

Hi, everyone.
I’m Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today, I’m going to give you some tips that are going to help you improve your English
conversation ability.
Today’s tips are about how to ask someone to repeat themselves if you didn’t hear,
or understand them, or maybe they’re speaking a little bit too fast.
These tips are very important to help you start sounding like a native speaker.
So keep watching.
So sometimes when I’m talking to my students, I know that they don’t quite understand
what I am saying.
But, they are a little bit afraid or shy to ask me to slow down.
Or to repeat myself.
Sometimes, I talk too fast.
And I just want to let you know that it’s totally okay to ask someone to repeat themselves,
or to speak slower.
This is going to help you sound more like a native speaker.
So actually, there are a lot of phrases in English, that you can use, to help you to
ask someone to repeat themselves, or to speak slower.
I’m going to tell you what they are.
The first one you can say is, “Please say that again.”
Very simple.
And no one will be offended or upset.
They will be happy to repeat themselves one more time.
Trust me.
Another one you can say is just, “Excuse me.”
That means you didn’t hear what they said.
And they’ll either speak a little bit louder, or a little bit slower to tell you what they
said one more time.
Another one you can use is, “Sorry, I didn’t hear that.”
That’s another simple phrase to help someone know that you didn’t quite hear what they
said.
Another one is, literally, “Please speak slower.”
That’s ok to ask.
Don’t be shy about it.
You’re learning English and everyone will understand.
The next one is, “Sorry, what did you say?”
Or you can even just say, “What did you say?”
Without the ‘sorry’.
Both of those are completely fine.
And in a much more casual setting, you can even use, “Pardon me?”
Or simple, “What?”
Even just saying one word, “What?”, is better than letting the moment pass by.
And you not understanding what someone said.
If you ask people to repeat themselves, or to say what they said one more time, that’s
going to help you learn English quicker.
And build your confidence a lot more.
So if you follow these tips, you’ll be sounding like a native speaker very soon.
So follow them all!
So the next time someone says something you don’t understand, now, you know exactly
what to say.
Follow these tips that I gave you, and you’ll me on your way to sounding like a native speaker.
Thanks for watching.
See you next time.
If you can think of any other expressions to say when you don’t hear someone, let

Hello all.
I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today I'm going to help you improve your English conversation ability
by changing you from a shy timid student into a confident talkative student.
This is a very important video so keep watching.
A lot of my students are very shy.
In fact some of them are so shy that they're afraid to try their English at all.
Some of them are even afraid of foreigners.
Now I know speaking in English can seem very scary
and you might be too shy to try but let me tell you, if you never practice
speaking in English, you'll never improve your English.
English is a skill which means you need lots of practice
and lots of practice speaking in order to get better.
Now if you are one of those very shy students, that's okay.
I have some tips for you to help get you speaking in English.
the first tip I'm gonna tell you is Speak to yourself.
maybe the thought of speaking to someone else in English
is so scary that you just can't do it.
Well just start talking to yourself then.
In the mirror or out loud at home.
That is going to help you practice speaking Another tip is - read out loud.
This one is actually very simple.
Take any English text that you want a book or anything
and read it out loud to yourself.
This will help you feel more confident about speaking English.
Another tip that works well is Talking to younger people.
Younger people - you can have conversation with them a little bit easier .
And so, speaking to younger people in English is
also going to help boost your confidence.
Another tip that I tell my students is try to improve your listening first.
Sometimes, students are shy to speak English because
they don't quite understand what they're hearing.
So if you improve your listening a little bit first,
this will encourage you to speak more in English.
Another tip is - start chatting first.
If you start the conversation with someone else first,
then you can decide a topic that's comfortable for you to talk about in English.
And don't be afraid of making mistakes.
Just go for it.
The last tip I'm gonna tell you is - push yourself.
Speaking English can feel uncomfortable and you might feel shy
but if you don't push yourself, you'll never improve.
So I encourage you to speak up and try.
English is not easy.
But you can improve with just a little bit of effort.
Don't be afraid to speak up in English and don't be afraid of foreigners.
I know you guys can do it.
Try hard.
Thanks for watching.
See you next time.
Let me know in the comments how you overcome shyness.
And don't forget to keep supporting my channel.
See you.
Hey everybody.
I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today I'm going to be talking to you about the benefits
of watching movies, TV, and even YouTube videos in English.
This is a really helpful video so keep watching watching.
Watching movies and TV shows in English is a
great way to improve your English speaking ability.
You can improve your listening, your reading,
if you use subtitles, and your speaking
all by watching movies, TV shows or even YouTube videos in English.
Now the most important thing to keep in mind when choosing a movie,
a TV show or a YouTube video is not to choose something too difficult.
Many of my students when they start watching movies or TV shows in English,
they choose something that might be fun to watch,
but it's much too difficult for them to understand.
Then what happens is they feel overwhelmed or frustrated and they just want to give up
on learning English.
so in order to avoid that, choose something that is easy first.
Then after, you feel comfortable, you can move on to something a little bit
more difficult.
When choosing a YouTube video, a good suggestion is to stick to one channel
and keep watching those videos many times until you feel comfortable .
Another good idea is watch the same video a number of times.
Repeat it over and over.
You can watch it with the subtitles in your language,
and then you can watch it with the subtitles in English,
and then you can watch it with no subtitles.
And each time you watch the video, or whatever you choose,
you'll be improving your English speaking ability.
Watching English programs is a great way to improve your English conversation skill.
So watching movies, TV shows, and YouTube videos in English
is going to help improve your English conversation ability.
And when you watch these movies or TV shows, don't be afraid to mimic just what the actor
or actress says.
This will also help you to improve.
I know learning English is hard, but I know you can do it as well.
Thanks for watching.
See you next time.
Tell me what kind of movies, TV shows, and YouTube channels
you like to watch in the comments below.
And don't forget to keep supporting my channel.
See you in the next video.
Hello, again.
I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today, we're going to be talking about translation programs and apps.
And how they never help you learn English This is a really helpful video, so keep watching.
Translation programs and apps like google translate are good
when you want to get kind of a sense or an idea of some text.
I've used it before when I get a text or an email in another language.
I can just quickly copy and paste it into Google Translate
And find out the general idea of what the person is talking about.
However, using these kinds of translation programs
will not help you improve your English conversation ability.
One way that I can see that's very clear is when my students try to use these translation
programs in their writing or in their presentations, it's very obvious that they simply typed or
wrote something up in their own language and then plugged it
into Google Translate.
It comes out wacky and crazy.
The English does not make sense and it just sounds weird.
So my tip for you is to not rely on these translation programs and apps.
Get away from them as much as you can.
They're good in a hurry when you just want to get a sense of some text,
but they are not good for improving your English conversation ability.
So stay away from these translation programs as much as you can.
They are not going to help you improve your English conversation skills.
I always know which of my students has used a translation program or app.
It might seem tempting because it's quick and easy but the English is not good.
And a teacher always knows which students have used
this kind of translation program.
So I believe in you guys if you just try hard and put in the effort.
That is going to help improve your English conversation skills.
Thanks for watching my video, see you next time.

Hi everyone.
I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today, I'm going to be giving you some tips about English pronunciation.
We're going to be talking about the importance of the phonetic alphabet and why you should
know it.
So keep watching.
Many of my students want to improve their English pronunciation.
And I always tell them if you're really serious about improving English,
pronunciation you have to learn the phonetic alphabet.
Once you learn the phonetic alphabet, you will know every vowel and consonant sound
in English.
And you won't even need a native speaker teacher to tell you how to pronounce a certain word
because you'll already know when you see the word and you know the phonetic alphabet you'll
know exactly how to pronounce it.
And this will help you improve your English pronunciation a lot.
A lot of my students are kind of hesitant to learn the phonetic alphabet.
Maybe they think they have to be better at English first or there's a lot of reasons,
But I always tell them no learn the phonetic alphabet right away as soon as you can.
It's going to really help you a lot especially if you're serious about improving
your English pronunciation.
This is an essential tool, so go ahead and start learning it right now.
Let's take a look at an example.
How do you think you pronounce this word?
A lot of my students they would say this word is pronounced 'corpse'.
Makes sense, but no.
Actually there are some silent letters in this word.
This word is probably very difficult, but if you know the phonetic alphabet, you already
know that this word is pronounced 'cor'.
So you can see just from this example how important it is to learn the phonetic alphabet.
I'm gonna put some links below to help you learn more about the phonetic alphabet
and be on your way to improving your English pronunciation.
So study hard.
See you next time.
Thanks for watching.

Hi, everybody.
I'm Lynn.
Thanks for watching my video.
Today we're gonna talk about not worrying about making mistakes in English.
When you speak English, you might make a mistake.
That's okay.
This is a really helpful video, so keep watching.
A lot of my students are scared to speak English because they're afraid of making a mistake.
They think their English needs to be perfect before they even try.
Well, I'm here to tell you that's not true.
Everyone makes mistakes.
It's part of the learning process.
So my tip for you is just try speaking even if your English has a lot of mistakes,
or you think it sounds broken, that's okay.
Speaking in English is much better than not speaking at all.
If you don't try to use your English, then you'll never improve.
It's much more important and useful to speak English even with some mistakes
than to not speak at all.
Everyone makes mistakes when learning English.
And the person that you're talking to can tell you your mistakes.
And that helps you to learn and improve.
So the best thing you can do is just try speaking even if you have a lot of mistakes,
that's okay.
Okay, students.
So speak, speak, and speak some more.
Just keep trying.
I know when my students speak English and they make a mistake,
I don't care.
In fact, I'm really happy that they're trying their English.
I know English is hard, but I believe in you guys.
And I know you can do it.
Thanks for watching everybody and see you next time.
Hi, I'm Lynn.

Today I'm going to help you improve your English speaking and pronunciation by
reading English out loud.
This is a very helpful video so keep watching.
You might think that it's hard to practice English
when there's no one to talk to.
But there is a really helpful way to practice your English
even if you're by yourself.
And it's by reading out loud.
You can take a book, an article, a poem, even a song
and not only read it, but read it out loud.
This is something that will help you not only get new vocabulary,
but it will greatly improve your pronunciation and your conversation ability.
This is something that I have instructed many of my students to do and
Always, if they read out loud every day, I can see a huge improvement in, not only
their fluency, but their conversation ability and pronunciation.
And this is something that is very simple to do by yourself.
Choose something that you want to read.
Read it.
And read it out loud every day.
And you will be surprised how fast you improve.
It's a great tip so I really think you should try it.
Reading out loud each day might not seem like the best way to improve
your English, but it's something very simple that you can
do and I know you guys can do it.
So remember learning English is hard work, but if you try a little bit
even something simple like reading out loud every day,
you're going to see an improvement.
