if you have been studying English for more than five years and your English is
still stuck this video is for you let's see what you can do to make a change coming up
hey student I am Teacher Prix and I’m going to help you talk to anyone
anywhere anytime in English thank you so much for watching this lesson make sure to subscribe
because every week I bring different kinds of English lessons to help you unlock your English
fluency now guys let's get down to business you know if you're feeling this way teacher more
than five years and I am stuck there is a very good chance you have reached a pre-intermediate
or intermediate level so what does that mean it means you can understand some English I mean you
are watching this video so you can understand teachers English lessons you can understand
some conversations in English but nothing too complicated okay simpler conversations movies tv
series interviews music complex conversations are more difficult for you okay to understand speaking
in English naturally is not happening so because of that you can't understand you have a limit
in terms of what you can talk about you begin to feel stuck and many years can go by and you will
continue to feel this way well if this is your case the first big change you need to make is in
your English study habits what are habits habits are things activities we do repeatedly we repeat
them so much that we go on autopilot we don't even remember we do them okay so habits are activities
we do consistently we repeat them over and over again so we need to change your English study
habits so before I tell you tip number one answer this to me what activities what English activities
have you been doing what kind of lessons do you watch what is your English study routine like
for example do you weekly watch videos about vocabulary you know every week you watch some
videos in English about verbs about expressions and this is how you keep studying this is how you
you study English you watch lessons some live lessons some videos with vocabulary
some expressions some memes sometimes some grammar videos but that's how you keep studying
or another question do you start and stop you study English for a few weeks or maybe a few
months and then you lose focus the frequency goes down you stop for some days or maybe weeks or
maybe months and then you get back okay let's do this so even though you are stuck for five years
do you stop and start a lot these are important questions okay guys because the tip number one is
reset you need to reboot reset you need to come clean with your practice okay focusing on words
or some videos with no direction will not help you continue your journey to fluency okay
that's the thing you need to understand so you need to do a complete reset you will let go of
what you were doing and you will reset and how you you may be asking okay how do I do that tip number
two this will make the reset process easier for you to understand assess all the English skills
think about this answer this question where have you been spending most of your time on
more on vocabulary you spend more time on vocabulary you spend more time on reading or
on writing or on listening where do you spend most of your study time and that is important because
you need to balance the time you spend on each skill so if you are a pre-intermediate speaker
or intermediate speaker you will need to dedicate yourself to different English skills basically
we have the four main skills reading writing listening and speaking but I like to include three
more okay vocabulary grammar pronunciation and intonation they are one pronunciation intonation
okay so during the week you need to combine these seven areas in my Academy for example my online
program with my BSA my students I give them a schedule recommendation for the busy students
they have a plan recommendation of three times a week 45 minutes for students who have more time
I give them more recommendations of 5 times a week 45 minutes to an hour maybe a bit more if they can
so in that schedule I give them recommendations of how to combine the seven areas reading
writing listening speaking vocabulary grammar pronunciation intonation so they learn how to
combine those activities be completely honest with yourself are you working on the seven points
are you working on the seven areas consistently do you have an organized plan that will make you
work on these seven points for your next five years to be different from the previous five
these changes need to happen okay so big reset and how do you do this big reset you work on the seven
areas you work on the seven points that we will unlock your English fluency you need to balance
how much you practice vocabulary how much you practice grammar writing pronunciation intonation
and you can combine skills because I know you're busy so it is possible to combine reading and
writing vocabulary writing and speaking listening vocabulary and speaking so you can be smart
with the time you have now before I move on to tip number three if you're enjoying this lesson
I invite you to subscribe to my channel because every week I bring a different kind of English
lesson if you have already subscribed thank you very much make sure to share this lesson with
your friends now guys tip number three track your progress uh now guys maybe you don't know
this movie Alice in Wonderland do you know this movie do you like it tell me in the comments but
there is a classic conversation okay Alice is in the forest and she's trying to decide where to go
so she asks the cat where she should go and then the cat tells her well it depends
do you know where you're going Alice doesn't know she doesn't know where she's going
so the cat smartly answers if you don't know where you want to go it doesn't matter
the way you choose it doesn't matter the direction you don't know where you're going and why is this
short conversation relevant to this lesson there is a lot of confusion on the journey to fluency
but you need a clear direction and I imagine that for you speaking unlocking your English fluency
is what you want but on the journey how do you measure how do you calculate
how do you track your journey and I was thinking about this because I have my online program and
I was thinking about my students how they could measure what they were doing inside my Academy
and if they were doing the activities they were supposed to do on their journey to fluency that's
why I created a habit tracker basically guys my goal with this tracker with this habit tracker
is to help my students see understand what they are doing and what they are not doing to help them
get to the destination they chose to fluency so in every module inside my program they have this file
so that they can honestly see if they are following my plan or not now for you in
practical terms what does that mean if you want your next five years to be better to be different
so that you can feel good about your English you need to know where you're going
and what you are doing on your journey the decisions you make the lessons you study
so at the end of every week you need to analyze your actions you need to track your actions
you need to do a self-analysis so here are some questions that I ask my students in my tracker
that you have to ask yourself point one grammar did I watch a lesson did I create examples
did I practice my speaking while using the grammar I studied did I study grammar this week vocabulary
did I study vocabulary this week how many words how many new words have I learned this week
did I check the pronunciation did I practice my English speaking while using the new words
I learned and the same will happen to all the seven areas I told you about reading writing
listening vocabulary speaking all the areas you are 100% responsible for your English fluency
if you don't track what you do after five years you will feel like I don't know what happened
I’m stuck I don't know what the problem is well but you don't have any background you don't have
any history of what you were doing okay that's why the tracker is so important so if you want your
next five years to be different start measuring start making the right decisions and reviewing the
decisions you have made along the way you know you can have incredible improvement in only six months
if you are serious about your journey if you are serious about unlocking your English fluency as
a pre-intermediate or as an intermediate speaker you have more than enough information right here
to achieve your goals over the next six months or over the next year of your life so that over the
next five years you feel much better about your English you have better memories happier memories
about the progress that you are tracking on your journey to fluency now guys I hope you enjoyed
