so I heard you wanted to learn English
well I think you've come to the right
place
I'm Bob the Canadian and in this video I
will give you what I think is an
excellent plan that will help you learn
English
[Music]
well welcome to this video where I'm
going to share with you what I think is
the best way to learn English in the
year 2020 if this is your first time
here though don't forget to click that
red subscribe button below and give me a
thumbs up if this video is helping you
learn English before we get started
though before I share the plan with you
there's a few things that you're going
to need you're going to need about one
hour a day Monday through Friday in
order to use this English learning plan
if you don't have an hour a day though
you can use 30 minutes just make sure
that you use the majority of the time
for the things that I recommend for that
day the other thing you're going to need
is a notebook and a pen and you're going
to need to choose an English song an
English book to read and an English
television show if you have all those
things I think you'll be ready
oh you'll also need an internet
connection which I'm pretty sure you
have because you're watching this video
when you're learning a language like
English it's important that you spend an
equal amount of time reading writing
listening speaking and learning new
vocabulary the way this plan works is
I'm going to ask you to do those five
things each day of the week Monday
through Friday so on Mondays the first
day of the week I want you to focus on
reading in English I want you to read
the book that you have chosen and if
you're having a little trouble
understanding the book if you can get
the book in your own language as well
you can read one chapter in English and
then read the next chapter in your own
language and flip back and forth that is
a great strategy on Mondays as well I
want you to read the news in English so
if you have a news app on your phone or
can access the news on a website please
read the news in English on Mondays as
well and the third thing I would like
you to do on Mondays is to go to a
website called simple Wikipedia I'll put
a link in the description below
simple Wikipedia is the english-language
version of wicked
eeeh but in a simpler form so there's
the regular Wikipedia but there is
simple Wikipedia which helps people who
are learning English to read and
understand the articles better so I'd
like you to do those three things for
about 30 to 40 minutes while you are
doing those things you should be writing
new vocabulary words into your notebook
along with a short definition of them
once you're done all that I want you to
use the rest of your time to practice
your writing to practice your listening
and to practice your speaking so reading
on Monday takes most of the time but the
other three components will take a small
amount of time but I want you to attach
them to your reading so to practice your
English speaking I want you to read part
of your book out loud just to yourself
to practice your writing on Monday I
want you to write out a few passages
from the book and to practice your
listening it would be really cool if you
could find the audio version of the book
you are reading and listen to it a bit
so that is Monday on Monday your focus
is reading spend 30 to 40 minutes
reading and then the rest of your time
practice the other aspects of learning
the language but in a way that is still
related to the book you are reading on
Tuesdays your focus will be writing I
want you to spend 30 to 40 minutes
writing in English the first thing you
should do is write in your notebook you
should write down five things that you
did the day before so that you can
practice writing in the past tense you
should also write down five things that
you are going to do the next day so that
you can practice writing in the future
tense you should also go to YouTube and
leave a few comments in English on a few
videos this is a really good way to
practice your English as well many times
if you leave a comment on an English
video someone will respond sometimes
even the Cree
so go to youtube and write a few
comments to some of your favorite
YouTube creators it doesn't all have to
be me by the way you can write comments
on other videos as well the next thing I
would like you to do is go back to your
notebook and write down a few things
that you like and dislike about the book
you are reading this is a really good
way for you to start to express your
likes and your dislikes in English it's
a very good thing to learn to be able to
do you should also in your notebook try
to write about five to ten sentences in
English that summarize the book you are
reading or summarize what you have just
read in the book that you are reading so
do all of that while you are doing it I
know you are writing but you might have
to look up new words to use make sure
you put those words in your notebook as
well hopefully you have a little
vocabulary section that you're building
where you put a few words in on Monday
and now it's Tuesday you'll put a few
more words in so Tuesday is writing
you've spent 30 to 40 minutes writing
now it's time to practice a little bit
of reading so read over the things that
you wrote it's time to practice a little
bit of listening so maybe put some of
your comments into Google Translate and
click the little speaker button so you
can hear what your English sentences
sound like out loud and then certainly
read your English sentences out loud in
your own voice so that you can practice
a little bit of speaking I forgot to
mention this about Mondays but if you
are done the work of the day on Monday
if you're done your reading on Tuesday
now if you're done your writing spend
the balance of time doing a little bit
of duolingo maybe just listening to the
song that you chose because the song you
chose should be something that you're
just listening to throughout the week
anyway so that was Tuesday where your
focus was writing on Wednesdays I want
you to focus on listening this might end
up being your favorite day to study
English if you use
this plan I want you to watch your
television show in English I want you to
listen to your song a few times in
English I think you should watch a few
YouTube videos in English and if you do
have the audio book for the book you are
reading I want you to listen to a few
chapters from the audio book this should
be a great day because most of these
listening activities will fill your hour
but at the end of the hour if you still
want to do a bit of work there's a few
things that you could do you could read
a little bit about the television show
that you were watching you could write a
little bit about the television show you
are watching or you could write about
how the song makes you feel you could
say some of the same lines as people in
the television show you could shadow or
mimic what the actors are saying this is
a great way to work on your accent and
you could sing along to the song that's
a great thing to do as well and of
course during all of this you should
still be adding words to your notebook
new vocabulary words that you are
learning as you watch your show listen
to your song and do the other listening
activities on Thursdays I want you to
focus on speaking so for the one hour
that you study English on Thursdays 30
to 40 minutes of that hour you should be
spending speaking English the best way
to practice speaking English is to hire
a an English tutor who you can meet via
FaceTime or Skype there are websites
like prep Li there's a link below in the
description or cambly or I talky where
you can hire a native English speaker to
have a conversation with you if you have
the money and you can afford it this is
money well spent it is a really really
good investment
the fact that you know you will be
talking to a native English speaker
every Thursday will actually make you
work harder on Monday Tuesday and
Wednesday and Friday each week in order
to get ready for that session when you
do talk to a native in
speaker talked about the television show
that you are watching talk about the
book that you are reading you'll have a
lot of things that you can share with
them in an English conversation if you
cannot afford to hire someone
you still need to speak English on
Thursdays
you can just talk out loud to yourself
you can narrate your life I did another
video where I explain a few of those
things I'll put a link up there but
certainly on Thursdays do whatever you
can to get in thirty minutes of speaking
in English the rest of the time on
Thursday you can do whatever you need to
do maybe listen to your song again and
sing out loud that's also speaking read
your book but read it out loud that's
also speaking or watch your TV show and
kind of again shadow or mimic some of
your favorite actors anyway Thursday is
the day that you should be speaking
English a lot on Fridays I want you to
focus on vocabulary on Monday Tuesday
Wednesday Thursday you wrote down new
words and their definition in your
notebook hopefully you were doing that
on Friday I want you to read over all of
the new words I want you to say them out
loud I want you to use the new words in
a sentence and I want you to just
practice them till you have them
memorize if you are familiar with
websites like Quizlet make a Quizlet set
using all of your new words and practice
it and practice it over and over again
if you are more comfortable making
flashcards or simply writing the
vocabulary out many many times do that
instead but Friday you should just be
spending all of your time the entire
hour making sure that you have all your
new vocabulary memorized I think you I
think you'll really benefit from this
one so you just spent Monday through
Friday learning English what do you do
on the weekend well there's a few things
that you should do on the weekend to
make this English learning plan really
work you should find a new song every
weekend you should look for a new
English song
that you can use in the following week
if you are done reading your book you
should go to the library or order a new
English book online or borrow one from a
friend if you are done watching all of
the episodes of the television show you
are watching you should get a new
television show to watch or find a new
television show to watch or you could
just take a break sometimes taking a
break from learning actually refreshes
your mind and makes you better able to
learn the next week anyways Bob the
