Hello this is teacher Meyam how are you doing?
I hope you're doing well today's lesson is about vocabulary and
how language learners can learn vocabulary or let's say can memorize
vocabulary easily if you are interested in this topic try to watch this video
until the end I receive a lot of
questions about teacher we know a lot of vocabulary but we are not using them
okay you go to the gym come back home you look at yourself into the
mirror and see okay there's no change tomorrow you watch Netflix, do not right
everything it is not a must.
You finished seven pages you might suffer it
is going to be so challenging for you buy yourself an expensive notebook after
six months I don't know I cannot imagine how many vocabulary you have learned
take notes you simply need to I mean fill it I definitely ask you to
use different colors then you start to remember okay English is far worse than
that think twice there's no stop no turning back
learning is a very meandering process really difficult arduous meandering
so let's get the ball rolling you know listen as a teacher I mean as a language
user let's say I would definitely say buy yourself an expensive notebook why?!
Because it works like psychologically you know when you spend money on
something that you pay okay that specific object can become very
important for you this is for sure right?!
Next you can simply take notes I mean this is really important I see a lot of
students tired coming to classes so tired they
can understand me while I am teaching in the class they can communicate with me
very easily but mostly they do not take notes so that is wrong language learners
simply need to take notes that is very easy and very basic very cliché I go to
classes I try to teach something sometimes expressions idioms this and
that but when I see students do not take notes this is so surprising and very
interesting for me maybe they are so tired maybe they are not motivated but I
mean this is a part of the process believe me you need to take notes that
is a must.
next when you buy your notebook or let's say agenda you simply need to I mean
fill it this is very simple okay my experience is like this you try to
open this you know notebook okay in the first page on the top of the page write
the topic for example you can say, in the class teacher Meyam's class today
is for example the date you have to write the date and then you write with
numbers like 1 2 3 4 5 plus I definitely I definitely ask you to use different
colors this is so important why?!
I mean the answer is so simple because you know when you finish writing this
notebook when you want to review this if you write with only one specific color
it is going to be so boring and it cannot you know absorb your attention
again you say come on I cannot read that you know it is not I can't but
psychologically if you use different colors believe me you can definitely
improve your vocabulary next for example today you were in my class tomorrow you
watch Netflix okay I mean write the topic the topic for example you can
write How I Met Your Mother Netflix and write the you know date
again, do not write everything it is not a must
I mean write those things that you feel they are so nice they're so cool and
decorative you can use them in the future this is very important write I
mean based on the number as an order one two whatever and tomorrow for
example you are reading a book, a novel, a short story, magazine, newspaper I don't
care again right the topic and put the date over there now let's say one week
is over you finished one week writing I mean taking notes; taking notes every day
right?!
Let's say you finished seven pages okay seven pages at the end
of the week every day one page for example now it is weekend
and what should you do?!
Go to very very beginning, go to the first page and start
to review them right?!
You might suffer it is going to be so challenging for you to
remember everything but believe me do it just do it be consistent this is really
important and I mean after finishing the previous week now you're allowed to
learn something new go to page eight again topic and date write and fill the
page again next day next day so the next week again you go to very very beginning
again after one month again beginning imagine that after six months I don't
know I cannot imagine how many vocabulary you have learned by that time
you go to very very beginning and all of a sudden all of a sudden you start to
remember because you kept reading and practicing these vocabulary every single
week okay?! This is so important again at the beginning it is going to be so
challenging and difficult but believe me step by step you start to remember
everything every single vocabulary by memorizing them actually this is my
experience that I used to do it when I was a student I still do it actually
now I receive a lot of questions about teacher we know a lot of vocabulary but
we are not using them okay I mean first of all we have to we have to make it
clear that using that specific vocabulary doesn't mean that you have to
use it in your speaking on a daily basis it is impossible
I mean imagine in your mother tongue how many vocabulary you know?!
How many words or vocabulary list let's say you
are using every single day?!
That is limited but it doesn't mean that you
don't know those vocabulary that you are not using them right?!
This is very important second
using the vocab could be in one of the skills; we have four skills right?!
Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing
you are reading a sort of magazine and you come across with a word that you
have already known oh so you are using it how?!
You know you're using that vocabulary that word to understand the
text or let's say in Listening you are watching a video you're listening to
news you are listening to a podcast blah blah blah and all of a sudden the
speaker, the person, the actor, actress, whatever actually is using a
word then you start to remember right?!
That is again using the vocabulary get It?!
So using that vocabulary using that word doesn't mean that you need to use it in
your speaking on a daily basis no it doesn't mean so you don't need to only
use it in your speaking sometimes it can be possible sometimes it cannot
imagine in your mother tongue again think twice
think again so be focused be consistent and keep going
there's no stop no turning back okay?!
Just forward just forward learning is a very meandering process really
difficult, arduous, meandering so difficult, challenging process to be
honest okay?!
So you go to the gym come back home you look at yourself
into the mirror and see okay there's no change tomorrow again the other day
again after six month you come home you look at yourself
into the mirror maybe you see no change but you know that having a good
body I mean to have a nice form and good
shape takes time it is not over a month or over a you know year maybe you need
years and years to reach your full potential to reach your full desired
condition right?!
Okay English is far worse than that because unfortunately
you are not using it on a daily basis you only use it in the classes right?!
This is so important and so sad last but not least do what I did like take notes
and keep practicing them every single week but again if you have time I would
recommend you to practice, to review the vocabulary every day but of course it is
not possible I would say review your vocabulary every single weekend or at
the end of the week after seven days yeah that is it
to sum up
buy yourself an expensive notebook take notes you simply need to
I mean fill it in the first page on the top of the page
write the topic I definitely ask you to use different colors I mean write those
things that you feel they are so nice they are so cool and decorative taking
notes every day right?!
What should you do go to very very beginning go to the
first page and start to review them right?!
The next week again you go to very very beginning again after one month
again beginning very good so live long and prosper
take care
