hi there I'm drew badger the world's
world's number one english fluency
fluency guide and it is a pleasure
pleasure to welcome you to another
another advanced listening practice
practice lesson well i'm going to
to getting things really quickly this
this time I really want to give you
you lots of great practice of this
this and so because people are continue
continue as we speak spat faster faster
faster faster faster i'm going to
to give you that so hopefully in this
this uh I mean like speaking too quickly
quickly for myself I don't typically
typically speak this fast even when
when i'm just a regular everyday conversation
conversation I don't really speak
speak this quickly native speakers
speakers wouldn't do this either but
but because i'm trying to train you
you i want to give you even faster
faster and faster speech to listen
listen to so that way you can really
really listen to this and hopefully
hopefully you can get a much better
better actually an even faster than
than me i recommend you look here
here are especially on youtube for
for our the micro machine guy so
so this is a guy like he's like a
a world record speed talker and he's
he's really really really really fast
fast and I think you can actually
actually find transcripts of what
what he's saying as well but anyways
anyways the guy he did commercials
commercials for these tiny little
little cars that were pretty popular
popular when I was a kid called micro
micro machines but if you search for
for him micromachines guy can probably
probably find some great videos about
about him speaking really quickly
quickly and doing like phone call
call you know advertisements and all
all kinds of other things like that
that but in general the best way to
to get fluent or it's certainly developing
developing your spoken or you're listening
listening fluency i should say this
this is more about your listening
listening practice than your speaking
speaking fluency because you actually
actually have to get out in practice
practice if you want to improve people
people do kind of complaint they say
say like well drew like I can understand
understand you even when you're speaking
speaking really quickly but my problems
problems when I started listening
listening to other people and that's
that's where it's really like i like
like not only they're not speaking
speaking to quickly but they're also
also you know they've got interesting
interesting accents or different accents
accents are really weird accents I've
I've never heard before using all
all kinds of casual vocabulary that
that I don't know either and
and so this is one of those things
things where it just takes time and
and you actually kind of a thing just
just in the same way that you should
should listen to this micromachines
micromachines guy just to just to
to get a feel for like having somebody
somebody actually speak really quickly
quickly and he's speaking even much
much faster than I do right now but
but when you're listening to somebody
somebody speaking like that not only
only listening to Fat speech but a
a lot of different people saying the
the same thing so this is a particularly
particularly easy thing you can do
do with like listening to different
different people get versions of speeches
speeches or you could listen to different
different people doing versions of
of this thing about different song
song like nine balloons
balloons is a common one that I do
do for you look for beatles covers
covers here on youtube so they're
they're classic beetle songs or other
other songs like anybody that makes
makes really popular music has lots
lots of other bands and also try to
to produce that music as well so if
if you try to listen to those things
things you can get different versions
versions of people saying the same
same thing and so when you can take
take any time you're trying to learn
learn something or trying to train
train your brain to do something you
you want to take something where you
you can take something and just change
change one piece of it so that you
you can really train your brain to
to focus on that particular thing
thing that's different about the two
two things for your brain is really
really good at recognizing like okay
okay what's different between these
these two things and if you only have
have to focus on one thing that's
that's different between the two it's
it's really going to make it easier
easier for your brain and I can talk
talk about why that's like an important
important thing for language learning
learning in general because so many
many people teach language learning
learning especially beginning learners
learners really badly because they
they give them too much information
information same time and that's why
why it becomes really frustrating
frustrating for people when they're
they're trying to learn new languages
languages because we're trying to
to give too much information and it
it makes it really difficult for them
them but anyway this is just kind
kind of a preamble just like a little
little bit of an introduction to this
this video because i won't be talking
talking about this in the video at
at all but just because i wanted to
to address this about speaking quickly
quickly and about being able to understand
understand my videos but not being
being able to understand other people
people that are also speaking quickly
quickly or even just not speaking
speaking so quickly but they've got
got really difficult accents or the
the use of vocabulary that's tricky
tricky to understand so these tips
tips that I give you at the beginning
beginning and hopefully make it a
a little bit easier for you to understand
understand those things and again
again it's just something you have
have to treat it something that comes
comes with time but the more you spend
spend time with things that are not
not specific lessons the
the more you were going to actually
actually develop you speaking fluency
fluency and you're listening fluency
fluency more important as well anyway
anyway in this video what I wanted
wanted to talk about so we've got
got all that stuff about tips at the
the beginning I want to talk about
about restraints and constraints and
and so this is whether you're trying
trying to build a business or whether
whether you want to have just like
like a better relationship with people
people are you trying to get fluent
fluent the idea of constraints and
and I kind of like mentioned this
this a little bit earlier in this
this video we're talking about the
the tips and trying to restrain the
the things that are different so you
you don't want to learn a whole bunch
bunch of new things at one time you
you want to focus on one thing at
at a time and that's why I do this
this this latest video series we're
we're talking about I just give you
you something simple like a backpack
backpack or a knife or a person something
something like that and so you can
can look at those things and try to
to think okay this is a much easier
easier way to explain something because
because I can just focus
focus on a few particular things and
and try to build my fluency around
around that I've talked about this
this before but it's such an important
important idea that you really need
need to hear it over and over and
and over again to you really master
master this idea and this is the fluency
fluency doesn't require you to know
know a lot of words you can know a
a bunch of words i know plenty of
of people that know way more words
words in English than I know in Japanese
Japanese but they can't speak English
English fluently and it just means
means that they don't know how to
to actually connect these words and
and actually use them when they want
want to say them in everyday conversation
conversation so the way i can do this
this in Japanese because I take a
a few things and I focus on those
those and I trained myself with lots
lots of people having lots of conversations
conversations with people even about
about simple everyday topics such
such that i can use my language over
over and over and over again but in
in a slightly different ways so I'm
I'm continuing to speak I'm training
training myself to continue to speak
speak for long periods of time because
because I'm constraining what I'm
I'm speaking about and this is the
the important thing I'd like you to
to remember for this lesson so the
the thing to take away to remember
remember from this lesson set our
our this lesson i should say is that
that you really want to focus on something
something and really constrain yourself
yourself when you try to think about
about you know economics or politics
politics or other things that are
are really big and really important
important to have lots of different
different things and you could really
really get specific about lots of
of particular things about those it's
it's really going to make it much
much more difficult for you because
because because your mind has so many
many different options it's like going
going to a grocery store and seeing
seeing wow you've got like a thousand
thousand different options for something
something when I really just one or
or two would be able to make you are
are gues make it able for you to my
my moms like stumbling over my words
words become speaking to quickly even
even then I speak normally but because
because you have just a few options
options it's going to make it much
much easier for you to select whatever
whatever you should be looking for
for and you don't want to spend a
a lot of time in your own head which
which is what a lot of a lot of learners
learners do I like to think of myself
myself actually like as a dumb person
person because I don't think of myself
myself as like I'm like a genius where
where I'm i'm sitting and thinking
thinking about things all the time
time I try to act as quickly as possible
possible i learned a new word i try
try to use it as quickly as possible
possible try to speak it as many times
times as I can until I get used to
to something like a grammar . i use
use it over and over and over and
and over again until i can use it
it without thinking and that way like
like when I'm speaking like even right
right now I'm not even thinking about
about what i want to say like most
most of the time I'm trying to like
like have a general plan about what
what i want to say but really I'm
I'm just kind of I'm kind of pushing
pushing things i'm pushing the speech
speech out just so i can make a point
point and hopefully like as I relax
relax and don't think about it the
the correct point that I want to make
make become set its kind of a tricky
tricky way of explaining things but
but anyway that the whole point of
of this video is that I want you to
to think about constraining yourself
yourself so that you don't think about
about too many things you find one
one particular thing to focus on it
it doesn't matter whether you're waiting
waiting for the bus or you're waiting
waiting for the train or you're talking
talking with someone about like a
a particular like even you've got
got like a bottle of water in your
your hand now if you wanna explain
explain that to someone like this
this is about this is a pretty short
short bottle this is a bottle it's
it's got a hundred and fifty milliliters
milliliters in it and you know whatever
whatever other things you can explain
explain about that but just begin
begin by getting very specific about
about that thing and even like the
the more specific the smaller thing
thing you can talk about and if you're
you're a teacher you can do the exact
exact same thing in your own classes
classes like begin with a bottle sitting
sitting on a table in your classroom
classroom and just ask people to say
say as many things as they can about
about it it doesn't really matter
matter if they can speak fluently
fluently about it or even if they
they would only like one or two things
things to say but now like take the
the cap off the bottle and put just
just the cap on the table and have
have them start speaking about that
that you're trying to focus the more
more and more and try to constrain
constrain what they can talk about
about and you'd be surprised at how
how like the less you can speak about
about the more your mind creates more
more opportunities to speak so it's
it's the opposite of what you would
would think would happen when you
you start trying to get fluent and
and this is why i $FULLPHONENUM like
like i talk about this idea in many
many different ways but it's so important
important not only for business or
or for learning but specifically for
for fluency if you want to train yourself
yourself to actually speak fluently
fluently to understand people but
but also be able to like communicate
communicate and even on you know unfamiliar
unfamiliar situations we don't really
really know exactly what she's talking
talking about you want to take that
that opportunity to try to just practice
practice with you know your everyday
everyday objects that you see even
even if you're just sitting by yourself
yourself write some things down or
or even dislike go online in like
like if you watch a video about something
something like especially in engineering
engineering video where you're learning
learning about how something works
works begin by looking at the thing
thing yourself and like write down
down your own sentences about it and
and write down okay we're like even
even just record yourself I'm
I'm like watching like i made a video
video recently about or it was talking
talking about the creation of the
the aluminum can in the evolution
evolution of it and so you could look
look about something like the absolute
absolute the evolution of the aluminum
aluminum can you think well this is
is just like a really simple can like
like this is a can this is a can this
this is not a box this is a can so
so I'm just looking about looking
looking at something and trying to
to explain in a really simple way
way but at the same time there's really
really a lot of information that could
could go into that can the whole history
history of how it works what
what you can do with way can't do
do with it and like all those things
things that come together those
those are the things that you begin
begin learning as you kind of compare
compare your way of doing something
something with the way a native speaker
speaker would do it so look for videos
videos like that look for opportunities
opportunities to practice and look
look for again ways that you can constrain
constrain what you're talking about
about that you can open your mind
mind up and that's what really gets
gets your mind thinking about lots
lots of different things as an example
example is one like last thing i'll
i'll leave you with like you could
could have a like a costume party
party at your house something
something like that so this is just
just where people wear you know like
like a crazy costume they have to
to wear whatever that particular thing
thing happens to be they could be
be like a superhero or they could
could be you know like a famous movie
movie star or something but if you
you tell people hey it's a costume
costume party people are like oh shit
shit what do I have to wear like I
I have to think about something creative
creative but if you constrain it this
this is a costume party for like TV
TV shows from the nineteen eighties
eighties I come at come dressed as
as your favorite TV character from
from the nineteen eighties now because
because you can strain this people
people actually get more excited about
about a party like that because they're
they're like wow like okay who cannot
cannot be creative in like trying
trying to be like from that so you
you restrained them you've taken away
away all these other things that they
they can think about like well maybe
maybe they could be spider-man or
or they could be like a famous movie
movie star but they have to be something
something from that particular era
era so it forces them to constrain
constrain their thinking but it actually
actually makes them much more creative
creative
creative so
so the more you can do that more creative
creative you can get the more you
you allow your mind to actually help
help you develop your get your fluency
fluency that way anyway i hope you
