hello everyone
and welcome back to english with lucy
today i've got
i know i always say it's an exciting
video but i think today's video
is especially exciting we're going to
throw it back a bit
we're going to go back in time to one of
my first
ever videos if i remember correctly it
was
called how to learn and remember
vocabulary and i basically spoke about
the method that i used
to become fluent in spanish in case you
weren't aware i am fluent in spanish
it's a language that i
thoroughly enjoyed learning
now in the video where i spoke about my
method for acquiring vocabulary
i spoke about keeping a vocab diary and
i'd like to update this method now
because i think i've got some really
relevant tips to share with you i know
that a lot of you are trying to learn
english from your home and perhaps you
don't have many
speakers of english to practice with
this was my problem when i started
learning spanish
so i can really relate with you when i
was going about my daily life
in my hometown in england i was
constantly thinking about
acquiring spanish vocabulary so from the
minute you leave the house
you need to be on the lookout for words
that you don't know
you're training your brain to be
constantly looking
and confirming that it knows words in
that second language
and immediately when it doesn't know
alert
you write that word down and then you
know that you're going to search for it
later i always like to think of learning
a language as
filling in the gaps i'd much rather go
through my life
and noticing where i'm lacking and
filling in those gaps
than working methodically through a
textbook
i think it's much better to prioritize
learning vocabulary and
grammar that is relevant to you whenever
i was on my way to work on public
transport
i'd be looking around do i know that
word do i know that word and if i didn't
know it
i would note it down and at the end of
the day i would then
go through all of the words that i'd
written down
in my own language ready to research and
translate in my second language
this was such an effective method for me
once i started doing this
my vocabulary just skyrocketed
and i want to be able to help you do
that i have created something
really exciting i have created the tool
that i wish i had had back then but it's
for you
learners of english so what have i made
for you
well i have made the english plan
which is not one but actually four
vocabulary diaries but they are so much
more
than just simple vocabulary diaries
there is so much in each of these i
can't wait to show you
so each edition each of these is a 90
day
or three month study planner so all
together you have
one full year of english study planning
you can get them one by one or you can
get the bundle of all four
one whole year of learning at a much
better deal
so in each planner you have a daily
vocab diary with space
for 10 new words or phrases and then
more note space as well you can use this
for grammar
or for additional words that you've
learned throughout the day
and on each page you have an idiom of
the day with an example
and a definition each edition has
different idioms so in total
you will have over 365 different idioms
so for a year
you can learn a new idiom every day as
well as all the vocabulary in your vocab
diary
one thing i really love is that i
haven't put in set months and days i've
put in
a month three day 26 for example
and you can put in your own date so you
can stop and start at any time
so you could choose to use this
religiously
every single day or you can stop and
start as you please
you can see where you'll be in 90 days
time exactly
or you could see where you are in 90
study days time that might take 100 days
or 120 days but it's 90 days in this
book
when you start each 90-day planner you
have the opportunity to write out
your long-term goals which are really
really important when you're learning a
language
we also have a monthly goals page so you
can
set realistic goals for each month which
podcast you're going to listen to which
film you're going to watch how you're
going to improve your vocabulary or your
speaking and
for each month we have something that i
am in love with at the moment and that
is
a habit tracker habit trackers are so
satisfying to use
you basically use them to start new good
habits or also to get rid of existing
bad habits
the habit tracker comes with reading
writing listening and speaking
but i've also as an example filled in
other things like attending a
conversation class
talking in english on whatsapp for
example and each day throughout the
month you mark if you have performed or
avoided
that activity and then at the end of the
month you've got a really
cool illustration of how you're
progressing it can be really really
motivating because you don't want to
miss
that little square you want to color in
at the end of each day
at the end of each month you also have
little language boost pages which
are pages of my best english tips
we've got everything from collocations
to prepositions to pronunciation
there's loads in there there are also
pages to fill out
synonyms that you've learned along the
way antonyms as well
opposites spelling practice irregular
verb tables
personal dictionary so that you can
write down the most important words that
you've learned throughout the 90 day
period
there's extra space for grammar notes so
a little example of the vocab diary in
action
here all of the words that i've picked
up throughout the day
the date and also some reminders the
minute you remember
that you have to do something to do with
language note it down so then you can
relax
and think about it when you get home i
can't wait for you to try the english
plan
i hope you find this vocabulary
acquisition method
as effective as i did for me it
transformed my spanish so i hope that it
transforms your english
i'm sure it will it's such a good method
there's so much in there to help you
if you would like to get your hands on
one of these or four of these
i've left the link to the store in the
description box
