112,000 people this is amazing and I'm so happy you were part of this anyways
my friends let's dive into the content first of all if you're new around here
this video is really really alternative okay so if you don't like if you don't
feel comfortable with more alternative ideas non-traditional non-traditional
ideas this is not the video for you so no hurt feelings go find something else
but this is a little bit different from what I usually teach okay very nice so
why am I gonna give you non traditional ways to learn English well
if you don't know me very well I've been teaching English for more than 14 years
I have lived in Boston in the United States
I have studied at Harvard I have taken many kinds of specializations and
different courses and there are many courses that are not necessarily about
English they are courses that will help me help students open their mind because
many English learners are blocked and cannot speak English for other reasons
but not really because of English okay so the first non traditional way of
learning English or improving your English if through
affirmations what's this? affirmations basically what is an affirmation?
affirmation is a phrase is something you say that is positive okay now why do I
want you to make affirmations why do I want it to tell yourself positive
phrases well many English learners are very
negative about their English are very negative about their improvement about
their journey every time you ask them something they will tell you something
very negative I have studied neurolinguistic
programming and basically neuro linguistic programming combines the the
words you say with movements you make which program your mind words are
powerful so the more you tell yourself you're not good you're not improving you
suck you're terrible it's impossible it's difficult the more your brain will
create negative associations so what I want you to do is I want you to change that
I want you to create positive affirmations now I don't want you to lie
and fake oh I'm awesome. My English is awesme. No that's not what I want you to do I want you to create realistic
positive affirmations for example every day I dedicate myself to improve my
English every day I make progress every day I learn a little bit more I am
capable of learning I can learn English I'm not being fake or exaggerating what
I'm saying is I can learn it's possible for me to learn every day I improve a
little bit every day I learn a little bit more it's much better to create this
positive environment than studying English in a negative one because you
will see as you start telling yourself these positive informations it'll be much
easier for you to enjoy your journey to enjoy the process because let's be
honest if you constantly say bad things about something you do what happens
every time you have to do it you feel bad it's like oh no
I gotta study English and all those negative memories they come to surface
okay that's why it's important to have positive affirmations you don't
need to talk about this every day I do affirmations every morning they're very
powerful they really motivate me they really encourage me so I encourage you
to create your affirmations but keep in mind that they need to be real
affirmations don't be fake okay create affirmations that you believe in okay
that are positive and that you believe in okay now the next thing that I
recommend is meditation why meditation meditation hmmm I love meditation guys I
feel so calm after meditating and why is it good whether you're learning English
or not anxiety fear stress worry and many other feelings can influence your
English results and I'm not just talking about your English results I'm talking
about your results in life the more stressed anxious worried scared you feel
the worse it is for you to learn something to live your life to make
progress in life meditation helps lower your stress levels so if you are feeling
very stressed very upset about your English take five minutes every day or
maybe every week once a week and meditate there are many apps that you
can download that are free that will help you meditate if it's difficult for
you I understand it takes time to master meditation but it's possible okay you
can do it so download meditation apps that will help you lower your cortisol
lower your stress levels because I'm pretty sure that the more relaxed
you feel the more your English will flow okay moving on do a course or
specialization in English okay now the idea here is I'm not asking you to do an
English course no well do that too that's good I'm asking you to do any
other course photography painting you know arts
anything computer science you know any course that you're interested in
gardening why because you will be challenging yourself to understand
different concepts different ideas in the English language and this would be
very interesting because it'll help you create positive associations positive
memories with the English language that's why it's important to study
something different in English it can be anything like really anything you like
but do that because you will see that the experience the results will really
motivate you to keep studying English and many English learners believe that
the best way to learn English is just focus on the traditional way just do
exercises and listen and repeat and read but honestly guys we have such a big
world it's time to explore different options today I I'm studying another
language and I'm always looking for experiences like this one exploring the
language through a different option you know and taking a course in English
about a different subject will definitely inspire you and will
help you to learn English okay visualization yes visualization
basically means to close your eyes and start seeing with your closed eyes so
you imagine something you imagine yourself speaking English so you see
yourself in your head and what do you see
well you imagine yourself improving your English speaking English you imagine
yourself in the room and you're with your friends and you're speaking English
you imagine yourself walking around New York City or London and you are killing
it you're speaking this is to visualize okay so visualization is amazing okay
put on put on and put on a song you know a soft song
take a deep breath close your eyes and visualize visualization will definitely
help you improve your English because here I'm not talking about improving
grammar improving whatever vocabulary no I'm talking about you opening your mind
opening your heart to the language okay and I'm telling you this works okay now
you can do this the best time of the day for you to do this is in the morning
when you wake up first thing or at night before you go to sleep because usually
at this time of the day your brain is really open to new ideas
so it's the best moment for you to plant the seed of I am awesome speaking
English I am amazing this is the best opportunity this is the best time of the
day for you to do that either in the morning or before you go
to sleep okay awesome and finally keep a journal a
journal is a diary where you write okay and a notebook where you write your
experiences you read about your day here I'm not talking about the teenage like
diary where you write about your feelings and your BFF and your boyfriend
and your girlfriend no that's not the point I want you to keep a journal where
you can write about your life in general okay and in English you don't need to be
dramatic while you're writing well if you want to you can but basically it's
an opportunity for you to connect English with your life and that will
help you get the inspiration to keep going okay I have been writing journals
for more than three years and guys it's so amazing
sometimes I go back and I take a look at older journals and it's incredible to
see who I was the problems that I was having three years ago the challenges
the good memories they were all things that I wrote in English it's an amazing
positive Association that I created with the English language because at the end
of the day guys you learn things that you find more connections with so the
more connections you find with the English language the easier it will be
for you to learn and master English and master speaking and finally get to
fluency okay so that's my main message today I know that all the things that I
suggested they are non- traditional ways if you want another video where I
focus on each individual item and talk more about them and give you more
examples let me know okay I am a professional coach I really like
personal development I was even thinking about creating a different kind of video
every week where I don't teach English I talk about personal development so I
would love to know if you would like to see that here on the channel
I was thinking of doing that on Saturdays creating a simple kind of
video where I give a personal development tip in English so that you
can connect with English in a different way but that's a plan for next year I
think that there's so much you can do to expand your mind and improve your skills
improve your communication skills and it's not just about hitting the books
and studying but about opening yourself to new opportunities okay other than
that my friends I would love to know what non-traditional way to learn
English are you going to try so I showed you five which one are you going to try
and if you already do them which one do you do already let me know in the
comments and if this video is valuable to you I know I ask this a lot but it
really helps the channel but if you share this video you're not just helping me
you're helping other people you're helping other people understand that
there are more things they can do to improve their language skills okay thank
you so much and I will see you next time bye
