either 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 today I want to talk
talk about one of my biggest pains
pains as an educator and hopefully
hopefully try to shed some light this
this is a great phrase meaning to
to make it clear for you or make it
it easy to see so
so to shed some light on what my most
most successful learners do versus
versus some people that follow me
me that are maybe not achieving the
the success that they like to have
have so I want to talk about in this
this video what you want versus what
what you need what you want versus
versus what you need and now this
this is not something that's a strictly
strictly specifically for what I do
do as an English fluency guide it's
it's really for anybody that's trying
trying to educate people whether you're
you're trying to help people get fit
fit or learn an instrument or you
you know to do your taxes properly
properly anything else within a group
group of people you typically got
got like five 1580 spread of people
people that are able to do something
something and so you've got the five
five people out of maybe 100 so five
five percent are really doing a great
great job the top 15 or the top I
I guess 20 so you got the five and
and then the 15 below that which are
are doing a pretty good job and then
then you've got the eighty percent
percent below that which maybe not
not having as much success if it all
all as they would like anyway excuse
excuse me about that i'm doing like
like a lot of videos a whole bunch
bunch of them right now I'm excited
excited to make a whole bunch of videos
videos so I'm making many and I might
might be losing my voice over time
time we'll see anyway I've got enough
enough energy in me I wanted to make
make this video and so I hopefully
hopefully this is an important thing
thing and hopefully I want you to
to think about this and the way you
you learn so that you can find out
out if you're one of the students
students that can fit in that top
top five or at least top 20 and not
not in the the bottom eighty percent
percent and again this is nothing
nothing like specific about what I
I do it's in anything so you've got
got the top twenty percent of people
people that are achieving things and
and the bottom eighty percent in any
any category so even if you just look
look at like the number of people
people that live in a particular City
City you've got twenty percent of
of that city area has he
he percent of the people i've talked
talked about this and it's a pretty
pretty common nothing called the 8020
8020 principal or the pareto principle
principle but anyway as it applies
applies to what I'm speaking specifically
specifically about today the people
people that I help learn are typically
typically the people that get just
just enough information that they
they understand how to take that next
next step and then they just keep
keep moving and that's it and if they
they don't get exactly what they need
need they figure out how to do it
it anyway and then the bottom eighty
eighty percent of people and hopefully
hopefully this video will give you
you a better indication of which group
group you are in and hopefully you
you want to like move up into that
that into the top 20 and then into
into the top five but the the kind
kind of the the eighty percent of
of people that typically aren't getting
getting as much success as they like
like to have these are people that
that are like always looking for lots
lots of more information there waiting
waiting to take action they want to
to make everything perfect before
before they actually speaker before
before they try something else out
out or they are hoping to have everything
everything exactly perfectly before
before they you know whatever make
make a decision and again i'm trying
trying to speak specifically specifically
specifically about fluency but this
this is in many other areas of life
life pretty much everything this 8020
8020 principal rules so again you
you got 5 15 and 25 1580 i should
should say and everything tends to
to fall in along these lines and then
then people reorganize themselves
themselves you could take like even
even the bottom eighty percent if
if you move them into a new category
category you would see them organized
organized themselves into five twenty
twenty percent and then eighty percent
percent as well so it's like it's
it's fractal is I kind of a difficult
difficult way of explaining but the
the same thing whether you're looking
looking at it closely we're
we're looking at faraway see the same
same pattern anyway people ask me
me like what kind of apps do i use
use to learn language learning languages
languages or what do I recommend you
you know what's on my iphone I've
I've got I've got chest and I've got
got angry birds and that's it i don't
don't have any language learning apps
apps at all i don't ever use them
them i haven't really recommended
recommended anything like that not
not to say that there are things that
that are helpful but the people that
that are always looking for like you
you know they're like specific things
things like like flashcard app specifically
specifically like I don't really use
use any final i don't use any of them
them so i don't recommend any particular
particular flash garden again doesn't
doesn't mean whether it's good
good or not but most of the people
people that I help again that top
top 5% is not needing some flash cards
cards in order to get fluent they're
they're learning the lessons that
that they need and then taking action
action that's the thing that people
people do and that's really the only
only thing people need to do and this
this is kind of a tricky thing as
as a teacher because as a person that's
that's convincing people to actually
actually take action and this is this
this is most of my job it's not really
really even the lessons that I provide
provide it's trying to motivate you
you to actually get out and do what
what you should be doing so I want
want to be your friend and help you
you out but really it's more important
important that I like actually get
get you to move and so just being
being a leader for you showing you
you that confidence is important and
and that you have to actually take
take action in order to get fluent
fluent so the people that are you
you know watching this video I want
want you to think about what kind
kind of action steps you're taking
taking are you going around looking
looking for like all what's like the
the next like cool app that i have
have to use its gonna help me make
make better flashcards on my phone
phone do you really care about that
that is that really helpful and are
are there people succeeding they aren't
aren't using those apps at all so
so those are the things you should
should be thinking about like is is
is there a person is there an example
example of someone that has succeeded
succeeded at what I want to do without
without using this particular thing
thing and what are the commonalities
commonalities of those people that
that are succeeding and typically
typically I've discovered within what
what I do as an English fluency guide
guide the people that are succeeding
succeeding or not the ones that are
are trying to get thousands of apps
apps and thousands of other things
things and read tons of articles online
online about stuff they learn a piece
piece of information and they apply
apply a piece of information that's
that's it
that's it it's
it's such a simple idea but it's really
really difficult for people because
because people get excited about who
who there's like a new flashcard app
app fantastic like I by never cared
cared about that as a teacher or as
as a learner myself and that's why
why I don't have anything that i recommend
recommend specifically that people
people should use to learn with so
so you learn a particular principle
principle and that's why I try to
to do with these videos i try to eat
eat in each video give you a specific
specific principle that you should
should be learning and you master
master that by going out and applying
applying that information regardless
regardless if it's within fluency
fluency and learning English or within
within you know anything else in your
your life
your life so
so take this information and go out
out and practice that go out and use
use that information and that's what's
what's going to help you get fluent
fluent I've got some learners acts
acts
acts like
like in my top five percent people
people that live like they're not
not living in English countries are
are english-speaking countries they're
they're not even really living with
with a with a lot of people they can
can practice with but they're getting
getting fluid and it's amazing to
to see the progress of these people
people like one in particular are
are named Chet from Nepal believe
believe it's nepal but has like you
you know no real way to practice and
and doesn't really have the resources
resources or the money can use like
like a credit card or anything to
to to pay for any lessons or to travel
travel anywhere to go become a fluent
fluent speaker but he's improving
improving just because he's again
again taking those steps he learns
learns the lesson and then he applies
applies lesson so right now like whatever
whatever you're learning if you're
you're maybe spending five minutes
minutes watching this video take like
like 30 minutes so again like like
like the 8020 principle applies to
to watching these videos as well so
so you take maybe I like twenty percent
percent of your time to learn something
something and then eighty percent
percent of your time to apply that
that information that you've learned
learned so take some phrases that
that you've learned from this lesson
lesson go write them down read them
them speak them use them in conversations
conversations with other people but
but again the the people to get fluent
fluent are the ones that just they
they decide what they want they learn
learn the principal and then they
they take action so the thing that
that like most people want you know
know they want all this information
information like i like i had a guy
guy and a guy yesterday emailed me
me about my collection of English
English fluency guides and he wanted
wanted a refund after 15 minutes of
of using the guys he said well I I
I i looked through the guides for
for 15 minutes and want a refund now
now typically people are often surprised
surprised when they get the guy because
because it's not like eight thick
thick books or nine thick books look
look like a hundred 200 pages each
each
each because
because you know what people need
need is actually just the information
information so that you can go out
out in practice but what a lot of
of people want is they want like a
a thick book because you know they
they think that's what they want and
and again like people it's just kind
kind of a problem that educators have
have where people most times like
like if you look at an actual book
book most books have maybe twenty
twenty percent if that maybe maybe
maybe two percent of the pages of
of a book actually have the information
information you need and this is why
why they're actually companies that
that just make book summaries because
because you know CEOs where
where other people that don't have
have much time they want to get the
the information from a book without
without having to spend time reading
reading all this extra stuff now the
the book is a really interesting thing
thing because it's trying to give
give people what they want but like
like having to sneak what's needed
needed in there so like up people
people would really much rather like
like get the information quickly but
but you feel that if you're spending
spending money you should have a book
book you should have 300 pages instead
instead of 20 pages even though the
the 20 pages is the only part of it
it you really need so
so what you should be thinking about
about for this is try to try to be
be the kind of person or absolutely
absolutely if you can be the kind
kind of person that wants what you
you need and not what you want I
I know that sounds weird but if you're
you're the kind of person it's like
like wow I'm buying a book i really
really want to have like it better
better be a really thick book with
with a beautiful cover and all that
that if you're that kind of person
person it's really going to be difficult
difficult for you to get fluid because
because you will constantly be looking
looking for what you want instead
instead of focusing on what you actually
actually need and what you need really
really isn't that much so again that's
that's why I like for my english fluency
fluency guides i try to make them
them packed with information and the
the interesting thing about this person
person that they emailed me asking
asking for a refund he
he was saying he really loves the
the videos i created but the interesting
interesting thing about that is that
that all of the videos i create all
all of that information comes from
from the information in the guy so
so my whole teaching philosophy the
the way I got fluid everything that
that I've that I've used to help learners
learners all over the world get fluid
fluid is the same information contained
contained in those guides so if you
you enjoy what I do in these videos
videos but you want to have all of
of like the information distilled
distilled and so it means like taking
taking like everything from what you
you might see in these videos but
but giving it in a really clear concise
concise weight and specific action
action steps you can take to get anything
anything you want especially with
with fluency to become a better speaker
speaker to learn how to use grammar
grammar without thinking and translating
translating in your head to become
become a much more uh is confident
confident user of the kind of vocabulary
vocabulary that native speakers actually
actually using conversations all of
of this stuff is included in the guides
guides and so the people that do get
get that and they're kind of like
like you know twenty percent or five
five percent if i give the collection
collection of guides to those people
people they tend to do amazing things
things
things don't
don't really need that much help because
because they know how to take principles
principles once they have good principles
principles and then apply them but
but other people if you're the kind
kind of person that just wants to
to have a lot of information even
even though you're not really doing
doing anything with it like I remember
remember seeing like people that are
are selling like these are like you
you know people selling information
information online like here's a here's
here's a memory stick of 500 gigabytes
gigabytes of information and for the
the people that want lots of stuff
stuff like that like it's easy to
to sell because while like 500 gigabytes
gigabytes wow that sounds like a lot
lot of information but it's just going
going to be confusing for you you're
you're gonna get all this and think
think well now what now what I do
do you get excited about buying that
that stuff but are you actually going
going to get what you need and figure
figure out what you need from that
that 500 gigabytes because I guarantee
guarantee you're gonna have eighty
eighty percent of that information
information it's not so helpful twenty
twenty percent that's like really
really helpful in five percent which
which is gonna be the best you can
can get so I only want to give you
you the five percent of everything
everything that I could be saying
saying these videos can be you know
know like 20 hours long and i'm still
still repeating myself but what I
I want you to get is that five percent
percent theory the five percent thing
thing that you should be receiving
receiving from these videos and from
from any other information i produce
produce don't want to give you anything
anything extra that you don't need
need I want you to focus on the principles
principles focus on what you need
need and try to forget about what
what you want or what you think you
you want anyway if this has been an
