are you learning what you really need let's take a step back how do you know
that that's what you're about to find out
hi friends Teacher Prix here to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in
English thanks for taking the time to watch my video and if you want to keep
on improving your English you have to subscribe because every week I post
different videos to help you become a better speaker so here we go imagine you
are in a beautiful farm you can hear the birds singing you feel the wind on your
face you see animals walking around and all of a sudden you start to think in
English you don't want to think in English but you're thinking what are you
probably going to think about at that moment flowers nature the animals you
see how good you feel hmm interesting now at that moment how important is
modal verbs? I'd say zero I understand what you're
probably feeling and thinking right now that's just my imagination Priscilla how
about real life you see in real life the same thing happens the biggest challenge
students have today is to learn the difference between useful important
useful language and useless unnecessary language how often do you catch yourself
wondering why you learn what you learn in English what's the point do you see
yourself using those new expressions phrasal verbs grammar points and endless
exercises why do you study present perfect?
what makes present perfect so difficult to know if what you're studying is
really important the key to making something easier is to make it real you
have to give it real meaning it's almost as if you could touch it with your hands
or mentally it comes naturally it's like the question how are you how are you you
probably know automatically exactly what to say that's what you need to do in
other aspects of the language I'm giving you one example within hundreds of
thousands of examples I could give this is a relevant question and it's an
important question for you that's why it comes so naturally when you give meaning
to what you study it's easier to learn now 1 million dollar question how do I
do that Priscilla? how do I give meaning to what I study?
how how how I can help you with that learn relevant subjects and conjugations
when I say conjugations i'm talking about past present future you have to
start small and then go big if you start with big difficult things it'll be
difficult for you to find relevant subjects for you to learn and
talk about some students worry way too much about learning phrasal verbs
expressions cool slang and they completely ignore basic things for
example how many of you have mastered the pronunciation of basic numbers how
many of you confuse the numbers 5 and 6 how many of you confused the numbers 16
and 60 and I could go on and on basic things you never know when you're gonna
need to say numbers to people so many people completely ignore basic language
for effective everyday communication all right Priscilla I get it relevant
subjects conjugations are important can you explain in more detail it's not very
clear alright let's do it how well can you describe past two
situations for example your last weekend the vacation a dream you had last night
your childhood places you have visited the feeling how you felt when your
favorite soccer team lost or won can you do that how well can you do it these are
very simple subjects and yet many times we struggle to talk about them now that
we found some relevant subjects we need to ask a very important question are
they relevant to you do you need to talk about those things is it important for
you to learn how to master those subjects if the answer is no it's okay
you just need to spend some time to discover what is relevant to you what do
you need to master in English and I'm not talking about grammar I'm talking
about subjects things you want to be confident talking about when you know
relevant subjects it's easier to understand it's easier to figure out to
understand exactly what you need to study in terms of vocabulary and
structure okay Priscila I get it so should I study only
stuff for work and school hmm it depends imagine you are working for this big
company it's an amazing job you're so happy you work there your English is
good people can understand you feel confident talking about work you nail
it you do a really good job you know all the necessary vocabulary and structure
to do your daily work and to communicate effectively one day your manager invites
you to lunch yeah he wants to have lunch with you you accept very happily and
while you're having lunch your boss starts to talk to you about his
favorite vacation destination how do you feel can you do it can you carry on the
conversation is that a relevant subject for you now it all comes down to place
time and people that's why in this channel I help you talk to anyone
anywhere anytime in English because these are the most important factors
that will help you to find what relevant subjects you need to study because it
all depends on where you are when you're there and who you're talking to these
three things will help you define what is relevant and what is not relevant so
Priscilla should I study everything because I work
I travel so everything is important oh my god oh by the way if you're enjoying
this video you have to click like and share it with your friends by sharing
this video you help other people find this information more easily you're
helping other people learn anyways back to the question should you study
everything yes and no you have to define your priorities otherwise you will go
cuckoo if you're looking to change jobs if you want a challenge in your career
it is time to focus on a more professional languag, specific
structure and vocabulary to help you achieve this dream this goal you have
now if you're a student and you try to get into university your studies will
be different you're probably gonna have to do a certification exam relevant
subjects you need to prepare yourself for that both the speaking writing
listening and so on now let's say you've done it all you have the job you like
you already have your MBA your PhD you know now the sky is the limit the only
thing that is the same is you need to define your priorities when you define
your priorities it's easier to find relevant subjects and remember learning
everything at the same time will make you confused and overwhelmed and
frustrated use your time wisely smart be smart with your time and make sure to
subscribe because next week I will have another video for you thank you so much
