hello Taiwan I'm Julian northbrook doing
english.com and this is a quick video to
announce my trip to can you guess where
that's right I'm going to Taiwan in
particular more specifically time pay
I'm gonna be there from what buy time I
actually get there cuz the long flight
from here in not so sunny island
it'll be about December the second I'm
gonna be there for about three weeks the
main reason I'm going really actually is
just to learn about the culture learn
about the language see the country many
of my clients come from Taiwan and I
feel like I can help them better if I've
actually been to their country
experience their language experience
their culture and that is the main
reason I'm coming there are other
reasons of course see what happened was
I was about a year ago leads my herself
said to me hey Julien if you ever come
to Taipei if you ever come to Taiwan
let's do something and I've had that
kind of on my mind for a while and then
it was about three months ago
buying complete coincidence chance I saw
information about the Taipei
International Marathon on I thought mmm
why not you see I dude in Northbrook
apart from being a coach for people who
are using English is a second language a
bit of a runner and I thought hey why
not combine my passions combine my
passion for English as a second language
for languages for culture with a bit of
running so on December 15th I am going
to be running for Taipei International
Marathon if you're in the area come
along cheer me on I'll be easy the spot
I'll be that blonde guy dying after the
first 10k dying not even a quarter of
the way through the race yeah that would
be me have a beer with me after because
you know I'm gonna need it what are we
actually going to be doing
in terms of collaborative stuff myself
and leads mine well on December 7th
we're gonna have a bit of a social
shindig a bit of a party will be the
leads julienne gala night and it's gonna
be the leads my school and just gonna be
a bit of fun it's gonna be a chance to
have a couple of drinks to meet me to
meet the gang my assistant Kim will be
there and I know a lot of my own clients
are very excited to meet him in person
because she's really the person who
keeps my courses and my coaching
programs actually running whilst I'm off
traveling and doing all kinds of
different things and it's just it's
gonna be a lot of fun come along then on
December the 11th we're going to be
doing more of a formal lecture where I
am gonna be talking about a particular
quite advanced topic that is going to
help you the frustrated learner of
English as a Second Language cut away a
lot of what you are doing that actually
isn't effective for you personally and
speed up the improvement process
considerably you see a lot of people are
doing a lot of things to try and improve
their English that whilst good advice
for someone else it's not actually
effective for them personally and as a
result what they're doing actually isn't
taking them anywhere what we plan to do
in this particular event is get you
completely clear about these things and
you guys got to come out of it I've
prepared some handouts and some
exercises and things that you're gonna
do so you're actually gonna do the white
there along with me where the idea is
you're gonna come out at the end of this
with a queer roadmap of sorts that you
can use to say okay this is really
really effective for me personally I'm
gonna do this where is this other thing
for example perhaps shattering
shattering is
the things that I'm known for but it's
not effective for everybody
and that's what we're gonna do and
you're gonna come out of it with this
roadmap so you know exactly what's going
to be useful for you and what's not
going to be useful for you
that's all December 11th oh definitely
come along to bow for those the party on
the 7th and then the the lecture on the
11th come and cheer me along for the
marathon and the observant among you
will have noticed that that's only three
days out of my three weeks or so in the
city what am I going to do for the rest
of my time you know what I actually have
not decided at this point I don't know I
want to pose this question to you dear
friend
what should I Julian Northrup do whilst
I'm in Taiwan let me know what are your
top recommendations let me know and what
I'll do is I'll maybe take us on those
popular ones with some of the most
interesting looking ones I'll go and do
them and I'll make some videos and it'll
be a great learning experience for me
and I can then share that with people on
my youtube channel on my Facebook page
and all that good stuff so why is this
going out of focus let me know in the
comments or wherever you can
what should I do you do not do in Taiwan
and I look forward to seeing you there
