hello I'm Ginny Norfolk from doing
English comm how am i daily run today
actually going across the Williamsburg
Bridge
it's spectacular
the other day I couldn't actually
workout to get up here and it turns out
you've got to get on the bridge about a
mile down the road which actually makes
sense when you think about it
while I catch my breath walk across the
bridge enjoy this view let's talk okay
common problem that people come to me
with mental translation translating
everything in their head from their
native language as they speak you're
never gonna be able hear me over this I
I'll Shelley it's a common problem and
it's caused by several factors but the
most common of them is basically the way
that you've been taught ingress in the
first place of alternate the traditional
approach the study grammar rules plug-in
vocabulary practice those and then
somehow try to produce language way of
learning really kind of promotes the
problem in a nutshell you are studying
more grammar more vocabulary of trying
to fix this problem what's actually
happening is you're making the problem
worse that is the way you're learning
English is exacerbating the problem
therefore what we need to do is change
the way we learn from grammar and
vocabulary to chunk driven English
because ultimately this is how native
speakers actually use their language
like we are not using grammar rules and
individual words and processes saying
processing those in memory on-the-fly
like many belief we do what we're
actually doing is storing chunks of
language in long-term memory pulling
them out and using them as are this
allows us to speak fluently and
naturally and for you the second
language learner speaking English is the
second language without having to
consciously process those things they've
been for them in your head
and pose them from one language into
another and what this basically means is
that the first step to fixing the
problem is to change the way you learn
English now how should you do this
exactly well a detailed description of
exactly how you should go about learning
in Shelton C's obviously beyond the
scope of this video but if you head over
to doing english.com slash free training
you can and should check out my free
rocket launch method in that I'm going
to teach you the five key changes you
need to make to your English learning
routine to start learning in what we
call chunk driven English so that you
can speak naturally fluently about
translating everything up here
