I hope you enjoy and if you like this
this feel free to post a
a calm it down below this video or
or feel free to send me a mail info
info at English anyone dot com if
if you have any questions here
here we go first of all I wanted to
to say
to say thank
thank you so much and I'm so proud
proud of you for
for recording your voice and actually
actually sending it to me I
I know eat can be a very difficult
difficult thing and
and it takes a lot of courage a specially
specially when you
you don't feel very confident about
about your speaking but
but your english is fantastic to see
see that one more time because you
you need to remember that your English
English is already fantastic I the
the the only thing that you need to
to do is basically just improved
improved a few small things and you'll
you'll see a lot of improvement in
in your speaking the
the process love building speaking
speaking confidence comes
comes from small successes so you
you don't kind of become a confident
confident speaker at one time in its
its already amazing basically what
what you do is you focus on individual
individual small things about your
your English so
so you improve one kind of pronunciation
pronunciation and
and improve your grammar a little
little bit and then together all of
of these things as
as you improve them and you actually
actually see the difference immediately
immediately even if it's just a small
small difference when
when you see this in your English
English you'll really start to feel
feel the confidence building and
and you'll feel a lot more excited
excited to get out and speak so
so let's go through a couple of small
small things again your English
is
is excellent
excellent but we can just a tweak
tweak to tweak something
something that sir TW e82 tweak something
something
something means
means just to change it slightly because
because on the whole your
your English is really great already
already so here are a few things that
that you can do to
to start improving your English the
the first thing is
is phonics now we have 8 fun X course
course it's completely free and English
English anyone dot com you
you can also find it on YouTube its
its called the sounds up
up English and a specially for Chinese
Chinese speakers like
like yourself the th sound and
and the W each and the s H
H these are called digraphs and it's
it's the
it's the the
the sounds that you don't find in
in your own language that
that make it a little bit more difficult
difficult for you to start using them
them in English but really it's it's
it's quite easy
easy to to start making the sounds
sounds the first one that I want you
you to practice on in you you don't
don't need to worry about anything
anything else just focus on this one
one sounds in this is the T
T H %uh so this isn't something like
like
like the
the thank you those kinds of words
words
words and
and all you do is you bite yorktown
yorktown
yorktown so
so stick your tongue out even if you
you think it looks funny stick
stick your tongue out and bite your
your tongue fifth sheath
sheath it's kind of difficult to make
make the sound but
but all you're doing is biting your
your tongue what you're doing right
right now
right now is
is making more oven F sound like ABCDE
ABCDE
ABCDE F
F and you're biting your lower lip
lip when you speak so
so instead of biting your lip I want
want you to buy yorktown
yorktown so just practice making those
those sounds bite
bite your tongue like this and and
and say
and say thank
thank you thank you thank
thank you and you can record yourself
yourself and then listen over and
and over again and you can actually
actually hear the improvement in
in the way you sound so even though
though you don't really use this sound
sound in Chinese it becomes really
really easy to do because all you're
you're doing is biting your tongue
tongue
tongue the
the next thing you can focus on is
is how you use your grammar and
and a lot of times if you listen even
even when I'm speaking right now I
I want to be very slow in clear so
so you can understand everything I'm
I'm saying but
but you'll notice that I also I don't
don't keep talking if
if I don't know exactly what to say
say
say and
and it will help you we call this
this a stutter St
St you tter a stutter it
it is if you say something like i
i IIIi
i IIIi don't
don't know what I want to say and
and you
and you repeat
repeat the same sound over and over
over again and it will it
it will take away from your confidence
confidence so the best thing to do
do is to not say anything
anything sometimes even if you want
want to express yourself you can't
can't find the right words and
and even as a native English speaker
speaker you know we all have
this
this this
this issue that comes up it's not
not a problem but it's just something
something that you need to think about
about
about so
so instead of saying IIIi a
a II try saying nothing stop
stop and think about what you want
want to say and
and then express it as one complete
complete sentence or
or one phrase or something like that
that so
that so as
as an example I could say II me
me like going to the
the movie its or I could stop and
and think and then say I
I like going to the movies I like
like going to the movies so
so take your time and don't worry
worry about speaking if
if you're not ready with with something
something good to say people will
will wait
will wait and
and they will listen it's okay the
the next thing that
that you can worry about is when you're
you're building your grammar because
because good grammar becomes %uh the
the main thing that you focus on before
before
before worrying
worrying about pronunciation a lot
lot of times people are they
they want to focus on pronunciation
pronunciation first but this is a
a mistake
a mistake basically
basically it doesn't matter if your
your pronunciation is good if your
your grammar is not already excellent
excellent so always focus on your
your grammar first and
and then as you get speaking more
more you'll feel much more confident
confident
confident even
even if your pronunciation is not
not very good so make sure even
even the basic grammar the EU's just
just listen to the difference in this
this one sentence he
he go to the park he go to the park
park
park now
now even if my pronunciation is OK
OK I'm speaking with regular
regular English pronunciation and
and I say he go to the park the
the native English speaker would listen
listen to that sense anyway actually
actually hurt their years
years a little bit because it's grammatically
grammatically incorrect so
so the correct English sentence would
would be
would be she
she goes to the park so even if my
my pronunciation is not very good
good like I can kinda make a Chinese
Chinese
Chinese accent
accent Eagle to the pock kiko
kiko to the pock and even if I'm not
not saying it perfectly I can use
use that same Chinese
Chinese accent but I thought I use
use the grammar properly he
he goes to the park he goes to
to the park and your and native English
English speaker in you listen to
that
that it
it sounds it sounds like perfect English
English even if your pronunciation
pronunciation is a little bit different
different
different remember
remember that english is a world language
language and that you're always going
going to have people with slightly
slightly different accents and this
this is why it
it doesn't matter so much how your
your accent years it's more can you
you master grammar and
and especially basic grammar so the
the the mastery of basic grammar is
is what will be dnt
dnt give you the confidence to start
start speaking more and
and then as you speak you will learn
learn a lot more and then want to
to
to improve
improve your pronunciation and that
that will happen naturally because
because you're speaking more so
so the final thing I wanted to say
say besides all these little tipsy
tipsy is
tipsy is also
also how you think about yourself
yourself
yourself as
as a learner up English so you are
are already a
a great speaker in you understand
understand grammar for the most part
part
part and
and your pronunciation is already
already quite good they're just a
a few sounds that you need to practice
practice
practice up
up and again use that fun X video
video series 2-2 watch that the letter
letter combinations and listen to
to the sounds are the words and
and if you can do that then I also
also want you to to
to change the way you think and not
not consider yourself he
he in and English learner you aren't
aren't English speaker and
and instead of going to forums or
or community places where people are
are practicing their English what
what I want you to do is think about
about the things that your interested
interested in and then start doing
doing those things in
in English so if you like baseball
baseball
baseball or
or you like gardening or you know
know whatever the you know astronomy
astronomy or some
some other thing like that whatever
whatever your interested in if
if you can start doing more of that
that in even though it's a it's online
online you can start looking for YouTube
YouTube videos which is something
something I always recommend to
to listen to more things not necessarily
necessarily about learning English
English but is paying attention to
to the things that your Rd interested
interested in and many times you already
already know the
the idea of those things tussle Etsy
Etsy I'm studying astronomy
astronomy and I know the word for
for telescope in
in English or something like that
that then I can look at the video
video and when people are talking
talking about that it becomes easier
easier for me to understand the other
other words that they're talking about
about b-sides telescope so
so a sentence about a telescope something
something like that so
so when you focus on trying to meet
meet other people online as you comment
comment on videos and talk with more
more people using you
you too or anything else like that
that any kind of form anything that
that you can get to once
once you start communicating with
with people more you don't have to
to tell them that
that you're in English Learner just
just talk with them as a friend and
and when you build a bit more reporter
reporter
reporter or
or have a a closer connection with
with people then you can actually
actually start in
in a meeting them on skype or even
even other people in hong kong I
I you know there's lotsa English speakers
speakers out there you can always
always find groups that are interested
interested in doing things but
but ultimately you really want to
to take your mind of
of love the english-language and just
just focus on something you're
really
really interested
interested in doing in and do that
that English well
well I hope it's been really helpful
helpful for you I know a lot of other
other students are really I'm
I'm interested in learning these kinds
kinds of things so for everybody listening
listening out there I
I want you to remember first even
even though it may seem kinda boring
boring or
boring or its
its I even if you understand more
more difficult grammar when you read
read and write if
if you can't speak constantly it's
it's probably because you
you don't master basic grammar and
and then you get you
you can't lose confidence about wanting
wanting to speak because even your
your basic grammar when speaking is
is not good so
so focus on the lessons that you're
you're getting using master in this
this conversation go
go back especially the the time-traveling
time-traveling lesson so you can listen
listen to grammar over and over again
again in start getting really confident
confident about how
how you use grammar and then improve
improve your pronunciation slowly
slowly by focusing on individual
individual phonics sounds like the
the TH
the TH and
and biting your tongue like that again
again thank you so much you're english
english is already fantastic keep
