Teacher Prix how can I learn advanced phrasal verbs in English any recommendation yes so
keep watching this video coming up hey student I am teacher Prix and I’m going to help
you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English today we're going to be talking about vocabulary
more specifically phrasal verbs okay before I dive into the three tips that I have prepared
for this lesson the first thing you need to understand is if you are a pre-intermediate
speaker or an intermediate speaker trying to level up your English vocabulary and more
specifically learn phrasal verbs it is time to eliminate the translation from the process
the more advanced you become the more advanced vocabulary you study the more difficult it
will be to translate and perhaps if you translate the verb even though you may know it in your
language you will not necessarily know how to use that phrasal verb translation doesn't
mean you know how to use it it just means you know the exact meaning to become a better
English speaker and use more advanced vocabulary and even understand more advanced vocabulary
you gotta stop studying new words based on translation okay I translate then I learn
I translate then I learn no instead what you're going to do is I learn a new word I get
the explanations because this will be more helpful to you if you want to speak English
more clearly if you want to have a better use of vocabulary because if you think about
it by learning a new word an advanced word in English with explanations in English you
are improving your English twice more okay like two times more because you are doing
all that experience in the English language so this is something that you must do if you
are at the level you are right now watching this lesson a beginner would not be here so
I am I’m assuming you are at least a pre-intermediate speaker so this applies to you and when I
say oh advanced phrasal verbs where do I find them we're gonna talk about that but here
on my channel I make videos every week so make sure to check them out that being said
tip number one it's time to read books in English that are not meant for English learners
yes now I do have recommendations for you to improve your reading skills so if you are
not used to reading if you have never read anything in your life in English you gotta
check other videos here on my channel where I explain how to read in English what kinds
of books you can get started with but once you're already doing that you've read some
books in English you you like reading in English then you can take your reading activity to
the next level because you are going to learn a lot of vocabulary okay for this tip you're
going to read books that are not meant for English learners they are meant for native
speakers and basically you can go on amazon or on your country's book website a favorite
book shop that you usually go to which is online and you can try to find best sellers
personal development business history culture cooking arts you name it whatever it is that
you like I strongly recommend you do that in English in my view okay I think personal
development books are really interesting because of the conversational style the writer really
wants to create an environment where you feel like the author is talking to you so this
is really interesting for English learners because you're going to have an idea of what
it's like to listen to a native speaker while you're reading okay it's a reading experience
and as you can see here on the screen in this page in this book I’ve been reading which
is um the one thing okay like one thing and in these two pages look at how many phrasal
verbs I’m learning it's not about like oh 10 phrasal verbs no that's not how native
speakers do it that's an exaggeration but here you can find two three phrasal verbs
that are very interesting so you will begin to see to notice what kind of phrasal verbs
native speakers will usually use and by doing this as you read information you know from
a book it'll be more helpful to you now here is the thing if you follow this recommendation
I must warn you you gotta do that slowly because these books are not meant for non-native speakers
I mean they're meant for everyone but the language the writers use in those books they're
not worried about us they don't really care about us
well it's true if your goal is to improve your vocabulary more specifically phrasal
verbs and learn more advanced phrasal verbs it would be interesting to read one to two
pages a day or if you're a very busy person one to two pages a week because you will really
need to explore the environment the context so that you can better understand the phrasal
verb you're learning okay moving on to tip number two tip number two will work on listening
and vocabulary so pay attention to what I’m doing here I am doing a reading and vocabulary
practice now tip number 2 will work on a listening and vocabulary practice as I always talk to
you guys here on my channel the virtuous circle of fluency needs to be activated that is to
say you need to combine different English skills now as I was saying watching short
interviews on YouTube preferably with subtitles because you may not always understand everything
you listen to so for the purpose of this activity short interviews with subtitles why interviews
movies are great tv shows are great but you really get to know an actor or actress or
an important business person when they are being interviewed that's when they lighten up oh
okay they they they're not the character they're not playing the character they're being themselves
well slightly because we're never ourselves in front of a camera I mean but they are usually
talking about different subjects that's when they are going to speak a little bit more
naturally they are not reading from a script they're just speaking more naturally there
are no memorized lines for them to to say they are answering random questions so at
that moment you will be able to pay attention to the choice they make in terms of phrasal
verbs they're going to use some very basic phrasal verbs they are going to use some very
advanced phrasal verbs so pause the interview take notes take a look at the context if you
can understand the context so even here we're working on reading because you're listening
then you're paying attention to the phrasal verbs they're using because they will be using
phrasal verbs in pretty much all interviews you watch then you can pause read the subtitles
work on reading comprehension then you can turn off subtitles and work on listening comprehension
there are so many things you can do with one single material it's amazing how much work
can be done if you know how to follow a good process I’m always talking about that with
my students in my academy my online program so this is going to be a very good opportunity
for you to identify phrasal verbs in conversations in pretty much most cases these will be advanced
phrasal verbs now am I against uh vocabulary books phrasal verb books not at all I’m
going to leave some recommendations here of advanced vocabulary books you can purchase
but honestly this would be a more how am I going to put this a more natural way for you
to interact with the language okay you can read books that are written by native speakers
where they're not really teaching you English you can watch interviews where your favorite
actors actresses or important people in society are speaking and they are not just saying
memorized lines no they're just speaking from the heart speaking at the spur of the moment
so that is a very important thing and finally tip number three and before I give you tip
number three this will be very quick if possible hit the like button and subscribe to my channel
right now we have about 175 000 people and I’m really looking forward to reaching 200
thousand subscribers I would really appreciate but tip number three is put into action okay
and and here you can do this by following the two uh first tips or you can include
a new practice here here on my channel every week well during most weeks I often bring
phrasal verb lessons and when I bring those phrasal verb lessons I usually get those ideas
based on the books I’m reading based on the movies I’m watching based on the interviews
I’m watching that is to say I’m always trying to bring phrasal verb lessons based
on what I hear based on what I see native speakers using so this is something you can
do watch some phrasal verb lessons that I create or from other teachers there are many
amazing teachers here on YouTube but every time every time you watch a phrasal verb lesson
this is the tip actually you have to put the lesson into action it is time to act so you
are going to practice creating one to three examples with the phrasal verb you're learning
and then we can go back to tip number one and tip number two okay I read two pages and
I learned two phrasal verbs amazing all right action tip number three I’m going to create
one two three examples with the phrasal verbs I’m learning that is a more productive practice
do you really want to learn advanced phrasal verbs so I’m showing you here how to study
them so that you can improve your vocabulary range okay that's very important oh but Teacher
what if I have problems creating my examples what do I do this will happen so what I like
doing whenever I get stuck and I don't know how to create an example with a new word I’m
learning or an expression or a phrasal verb it happens I look for inspiration guys basically
I go on google and I type the phrasal verb I want or you know the the verb or the
adjective and I put the symbol + sentences examples examples of sentences examples of
phrases google is a very smart search engine so it is going to give you the results you're
looking for you will see how many amazing sources you will find of websites giving examples
of phrases with the word you searched so this is a very good way for you to get inspiration
maybe you don't know how to create your own example so this would be a very productive
way to do so then what I do in those cases is okay all right I got an example so I’m
gonna take that example I’m gonna change a few things and create mine so you can start
doing that you catch one example then you change a few things make it more realistic
more connected with your life and there you have it it'll be easier for your brain to
connect with that new word guys follow these recommendations that I’m giving you here
in this lesson and I am absolutely sure you are going to learn more advanced vocabulary
especially phrasal verbs I hope you enjoyed this lesson make sure to subscribe other than
