get your attention to something since
Monday we have been working together and
we are going to continue because the
workshop starts next Monday okay next
Monday we get started and I like like to
say that we are creating right now we
are creating a
frequency okay we are creating the
fluency
frequency you are changing your habits
you're changing your actions you are
immersing in this environment so
together we are creating a
frequency and look how awesome this is
we have students from all over the world
Japan China Italy Egypt Saudi Arabia uh
Canada the United States Brazil Colombia
Chile
Argentina
Spain let's see where where else Russia
where else uh
Morocco and I turkey we have students
from all over the world so here Greece
here we are creating the fluency
frequency and this this is something you
need to understand to
stay in the fluency
frequency you got to surround
yourself with the right people and the
right
method to improve to stay in the fluency
frequency you got to surround yourself
with the right people and the right
method
okay so if this week you're feeling a
change you're feeling something is
getting better about your English it's
because you're changing your frequency
so if you understand this I want you to
type here I am in the fluency frequency
because I'm not creating this frequency
alone we are creating this environment
together we are tuning in like a radio
we are tuning in in this fre frequency
together different people different
dreams different problems different
goals but one thing in common we are in
the fluency frequency and that's
fantastic you know many people could be
here right now but they're not because
this is for you this is for you the 240
people watching right now and the people
who watch the replay I know this is for
them
you're making a decision this week to
stay in this
frequency and I honor you for that and I
want to keep helping you so that you
understand that when you change the
environment when you change the
method when you surround yourself with
the right
strategies fluency is inevitable okay
now that being said I see you guys are
typ ping the fluency frequency yeah good
very nice very
nice you guys are the best you
understand you're participating and
that's how you change your frequency
that's wonderful now guys today we're
going to talk about vocabulary and
before I get started with the strategies
the mistakes that I that I that I want
to talk about here the reasons why okay
more specifically I want to talk about
the reasons why your English vocabulary
is not getting better okay
before I do that I have five questions
for you five questions five situations
and I want your participation so that I
better understand your vocabulary
situation okay by the way the
pronunciation is
situation okay but I was watching a TV
show episode and the girl said oh I'm in
a
situation casual slang okay so um it's a
different situ situation now do I like
it I prefer situation but you will hear
oh this is a complicated
situation okay I've heard it I was just
remembering this because it was a few
days ago now guys question number one
let's go question number one woohoo do
you do you know the muffing man the
muffing man no I'm kidding number
one do you easily forget the words you
study do you easily forget the words you
learn you learn any word and you're like
I don't know I forgot what is that oh
what no I don't know so do you easily do
you easily forget yes no or so so okay
yes no or so so let's go question number
one yes ah my goodness no or so so okay
no sometimes okay
yes yep every time yes of course so
so sometimes a little yes yes no yes so
so no yes not really so so yes yes
sometimes so so okay got it got it got
it got it number two when I have to
study as well so so when you don't study
you don't forget
but I get I get what you mean number two
number two let's go to number two
translation machine do you
translate the new words you steady for
example oh okay I'm reading a page so I
I come across a word I don't know so I'm
like sure translate let's go is that
something you do yes no or so so so do
you translate the new words you study
okay do you translate any words you
study yes no or so so or
always teacher always I always translate
the words this is how I
study oh my God you're every time people
say yes to that I feel like I'm dying I
feel like part of me dies when people
tell me they use translation when people
tell me they use translating apps oh it
hurts right here okay right
here right here it hurts my heart don't
break my
heart say you want
translate it is really bad for your
brain but I don't want to talk about
that right now okay so
yes all right always on my my God okay
number three number three three three
three do you use vocabulary apps do you
use vocabulary
apps and often times these vocabulary
apps use translation is the problem is
not the app itself but the translation
in the app or the G the gamification of
the app okay uh apps are very smart they
want to make you stay there and use the
app okay so they they use uh some
psychological psychology tricks to make
you stay in the app just like Instagram
YouTube you name it okay uh so I see not
no yes so so okay
sometimes no okay good I'm happy some of
you are not breaking my heart some of
you are not breaking my heart
yes a yeah yeah I
uh when I say vocabulary apps I never
mean dictionaries okay because it's a
dictionary come on so I'm not talking
about dictionaries I'm talking about
vocabulary apps that usually have flash
cards or some
games um they use some random phrases
with translations this is usually what
they do uh sometimes okay okay next
question do you review
the words you
study do you review the words you study
yes no
rarely teacher
rarely I rarely review the words okay
and before anyone asks because I know
these questions will come teacher Pricks
do you use any vocabulary app no I only
use dictionaries of course in English
that's
it um
word reference only if you translate
Elisa if you use it to translate then
it's
bad okay Never Never Enough never rarely
oh no of course okay at least I got some
of course here sometimes regularly
always
yes so so not
really
sometimes m i see I see indeed hardly
ever
rarely rarely it's with r okay
rarely sometimes always
sometimes oh okay pain I'm I'm checking
okay
rarely okay and five is there any type
of word now you have to tell me the type
of word is there any type of word that
you find more difficult to learn that
you that you find more difficult is
there any type of word that you find
more difficult to learn for example
phrasal verbs or connectors or nouns
verbs adjectives pronouns you name it
the kind of word
prepositions or idioms idioms is not
really a word but a combination of words
okay Expressions slang is there any type
that you find more difficult more
challenging and thanks YouTube right now
I have about aund 300 people here that's
awesome I'm honored that don't a Friday
night you guys are here with me so here
100 people you guys are the
best phrasal
verbs phrasal
verbs any word that has more than six
letters so you're in trouble my friend
because um many words have more than six
letters combination of words okay so you
mean idioms or
Expressions words that have a difficult
pronunciation and it's not vocabulary
it's pronunciation nouns and phrasal
verbs phrasal
verbs yeah phrasal verbs will always win
in most cases phrasal verbs students are
so obsessed with phrasal verbs and quite
honestly you could be an excellent
communication an excellent communication
excuse me and make very little use of
phrasal verbs just saying you could be
an excellent communicator and make very
little use of of phrasal verbs and there
are different scenarios when you use
phrasal verbs to understand people and
to talk to people what students struggle
with is to talk but to understand that
that's U that's something it's easier to
work
on okay edms phrases if you mean phrases
you mean Expressions because I never
teach people to memorize phrases I never
recommend that unless it's an expression
but your phrases you have to create
fluent people
create they don't
repeat fluent people create okay but
we're going to talk more about that
later on not today next week this is a
subject for next week okay so Guys these
are important questions because at this
level stents are really worried oh my
God my VOC ulary is not enough I don't
know many words and there is this story
a few years ago I think like seven eight
years ago um I came across this guy we
were taking a course together an English
course together and I was taking this
course
for out of curiosity because I wanted to
learn some things not not necessarily
about English but about the way they
were working there this school so I took
the course and this guy was really nice
and he had really really interesting
words his vocabulary was much better
than mine much better and it's
interesting because one day he came to
me and he said you know Priscilla it's
frustrating because I know words but you
are fluent I don't feel fluent like you
I can't speak the way you can even
though I know a lot of words and
different Expressions but I'm how what
do I do and then I told him it's not
about knowing a bunch of words you know
crazy expressions and phrasal verbs it's
it's at the end of the day it's about
communication so you have to focus a lot
on communication skills vocabul
vocabulary is a plus of course but you
were so consumed with the idea of
learning exotic words and phrases and
expressions that you're not doing the
right work so stop focusing on the
number stop F start focusing on the
quality so his vocabulary was better
than mine but his fluency wasn't his
English speaking wasn't so be careful
because at this level at the transition
level pre intermediate and intermediate
level we get caught up okay on this the
vocabulary more words more words more
words and this is going to make you
upset stressed and you're not not going
to improve a lot okay now that being
said let's talk about the first reason
why your English vocabulary is stuck
okay you're not improving your English
vocabulary and the first reason is you
think you will memorize all the words
you study you have this naive do you
know the word naive Paulo English please
this is not a place to use another
language okay naive do you know the word
naive n a i v e naive
tell me yes or tell me no and I will
explain so we shouldn't have a very
naive perception of how things
work
okay and they think they assume that
they are going to study
words and they
will remember they will know all the
words they will memorize all the words
so it is very
naive very naive
okay let's see how many people say no
well quite a few people guys a synonym
for naive is he was going to say
French is innocent
okay innocent oh my goodness
innocent it's a very innocent
idea okay very
innocent idea that you will memorize
everything okay so do you get do you get
naive innocent okay very simple and
innocent to assume that h i study so I
remember and I will show you with
science okay I will show you with
science the only exceptions to memorize
everything you study there are two
exceptions one if you have photographic
memory do you have photographic memory
tell me do you have photographic memory
do you I don't do you have photographic
memory I
don't tell me here if you have
photographic memory so in this case then
okay you would memorize everything okay
memorize guys not necessarily understand
even people with photographic memory
they may be able to repeat information
but they may not understand the
information they they know they know by
heart okay very nice so everybody's
regular here okay dualingo no stop using
it I do not recommend dualingo okay very
well and the second
situation the second
situation is if you have an
extremely high
IQ if you are extremely extremely
intelligent if you are a
genius then there is a very good chance
you will memorize more than ordinary
people tell me do you have a high IQ
really I want to know do you have a high
IQ honalo I don't believe you because
it's very rare okay I if you have good
for you then okay it is very
rare for people to have photographic
memory so um really but hey if you do
congratulations good for
you so do you have a high IQ no me
neither my IQ
is I'm not dumb okay I'm not stupid I
have have h a
regular IQ okay I have a regular IQ I am
an ordinary person ordinary person here
okay
ordinary now when I say I'm not saying
people are dumb or stupid I just have an
average IQ normal okay I believe you're
intelligent I'm just saying that if
you're trying to memorize all the words
the exceptions would be high IQ and
photographic memory these would be the
exceptions let's talk about the
situations when this would be possible
okay so regular people
here regular I know me too thank you
welcome now guys I I'm going to explain
why you cannot memorize everything let's
talk a little bit about science okay now
your brain your brain filters
information so when you receive
information you study your brain starts
[Music]
working so your brain filters all the
information you
receive and your brain your smart
noodles will analyze and
decide what's important and what's not
and when that happens what is the
criteria is it
relevant how do I know it's relevant
does Priscilla use this no she used it
only
once I want a piece of paper to do a
little
drama okay she doesn't use a lot so
bye so your brain is constantly doing
this all the time all the time all the
time filtering and filtering and making
these decisions really quickly so it'll
only save what you
use based on how you
use that's why a repetition process will
help you remember information the more
you repeat to your brain this is
important this is important this is
important why am I repeating information
so much much here this week did you see
for the people who are watching me every
day am I repeating a lot I will
accelerate I will accelerate I will do
this I will do that fluency frequency
why am I repeating information it's my
responsibility why do I repeat
information because I know that the
brain saves based on how you use and for
the brain to understand the importance
of something you need to repeat
it to the point where your brain is
going to be
like got it so are you following do you
understand this right now if you
follow I'm
following I'm
following do you follow type here I'm
following
okay the Mind needs that yes it needs
that so if you understand this right now
that I explain
I'm following
okay very nice Verner good Javier
excellent you're following good
good I'm following nice Nicholas NAB
hi Fatima
following very nice you're following the
idea marjerie
okay
Bazinga
nice so when you start to analyze this
then you you you reduce the
pressure because right now everybody's
like under pressure I need to memorize I
need to remember everything and that's
not how it works it's not going to
happen so and there is more explanation
to that okay there is a study published
on neuron and I leave the link in the
book that I'm going to share with you in
the ebook that I prepared for you today
you have this link okay and in this
study the the the the researcher his
name is Ron Davis okay the name of the
researcher is Ron
Davis Ron Davis and his team they were
analyzing memory you know the mechanisms
of forgetting and he came up with the
term intrinsic memory okay this is
important
intrinsic
memory excuse me intrinsic for
forgetting
intrinsic
forgetting intrinsic for
forgetting and what is intrinsic
forgetting that's what Dave and his team
were studying and they published a paper
about this they explain the team
proposed that after you form a new
memory okay the do dopamine forgetting
mechanism immediately starts to erase
this new
memory so this is always happening all
the time you receive a new piece of
information a new memory this intrinsic
memory forgetting this intrinsic
forgetting activates okay and you
immediately starts you immediately start
to delete the
information
and he goes on to explain that your
brain our brain actually everybody's
brains they evolved they improved to be
more efficient to be more efficient and
maybe in a hundred years our brains will
be completely
different okay so we have to be
efficient that's what our brains are
they are efficient they are not perfect
ah they're not when I say perfect I mean
accurate 100% accurate because your
brain is perfect but the the explanation
from Dave and his team is okay our brain
is efficient not
accurate okay this is natural so we save
we store we save we store parts of
events things we need we may need we
think we may need things that get our
attention so if something doesn't get
your attention
bye bye Miss americ bye it goes away and
this is normal this is a process in your
brain
okay so that means there's nothing wrong
with your brain this is how it works
your brain is
perfect now what you need to do is to
constantly work on your memorizing
skewes so hands up put your hands up put
your hands up put your hands up right
now and if you're paying attention rub
your hands to create energy okay because
we need to be intentional so I want you
to say this to yourself and I want you
to use your voice not just your
imagination voice my brain is perfect I
constantly work on my memorizing
excuse one more time be intentional my
brain is perfect
I constantly work on my memorizing
skills woo she's on fire yeah yeah yeah
yeah did you do
it I hope you did it did you do it I
want to know who did it clap clap clap
if you did it I want to know if you did
it and I only know if you did it if you
type the Emoji clap clap clap clap
because then I know that you did it okay
put your hands
up manifestation of no this is not
manifestation okay this is not positive
thinking your brain is
perfect I'm not talking to people who
have Alzheimer I'm not talking about
people who have brain tumor so your
brain is perfect so this is not
manifestation this is a fact our brains
are per are perfect this is the
mechanism of the brain the brain is
designed to forget okay this is science
not uh spirituality okay this is real
science
the brain is designed to forget now what
we need to accept is this that we are
perfect you know that we forget it
happens it's okay we forget good all
right guys when I say she's on fire I
mean that I'm really on fire cuz it's so
hot but I'm doing this for you okay I'll
be there for you I don't have air
conditioning I I I haven't been lucky to
find an apartment with air conditioning
yet one day one day okay now then I have
to work on my manifestation okay to
manifest an apartment with air
conditioning but anyway now guys this is
basically something that I do with my
babies they understand that they need to
work on repetition and how do I repeat
this with my students they have
vocabulary everywhere okay in every
module of my Academy my students my BSA
have vocabulary vocabulary exer excise
they are always learning and interacting
with new words however what I always
tell my students and they understand is
you're not going to memorize all the
words you learn inside my Academy
because in every module extra activities
workshops live activities that I give my
students extra challenges that I give my
students I always teach them
vocabulary but the focus is never on
memorization like every everything no
the the connect the the important point
is connection I need to connect English
with my life okay and if you're paying
attention here I want you to type this I
need to connect English with my life BEC
especially when you're studying
vocabulary the more you connect English
with your life when creating new words
when studying
vocabulary the easier it gets for your
brain for that me mechanism to
understand that hey that's
important oo okay so I got to memorize
it I got to use it so you see connection
it's important okay moving on well I
still I'm still in reason number one and
this is something that I that I like to
to highlight this TV show the good place
okay I have watched this TV show I think
right now probably more times I think
more than 10 times okay I watch it then
I finished then I watch it again there
are four seasons in total I watched the
good place TV show more than 10 times
and every time I study this show I check
the words I pause I take notes and I
always forget some
words but Priscilla you watched 10
times you should have memorized because
you repeat it 10 times the same show
what's wrong with your mind well
nothing but remember what I said my
brain
filters and
identifies this is not important to
Priscilla so she doesn't need to
remember
this that's what
happens so even though I have watched
this show more than 10 times I don't
remember
everything why because there's no
connection I learned I check but but my
brain
filters now I remember more yes but I
need to filter and the brain does that
so there are there are words that I
always forget and I am not
sad oh my God I'm so sad I forgot it
again no I don't use it it's not
important in my life in my
context okay imagine right now if I sit
down and I study engineering
vocabulary I'm not an engineer I'm not
going to use it I'm not interested in
engineering not a bit sorry guys is
there any engineer here any engineer
whatever kind of engineering okay any
engineer I may study but tomorrow I'm
going to be like a blank page I will not
remember there's no
connection with my life and the Brain
knows that guys remember the fluent and
six workshop is going to start on Monday
today is Friday yeah make sure to
register okay the link is here in the bi
people on YouTube the link is here
people on Instagram the the link is in
my bi if you tape on my name po okay you
will find it all right I see lots of
Engineers here good for you guys awesome
you know nothing wrong with engineering
I just feel like you guys do everything
you know like oh I do it oh yeah I got
it yeah and I'm like
no I'm really on a human science kind of
girl you know the engineering is a
mystery A Whole New
World a whole fantastic point of
view H it's it's
interesting now guys moving on reason
number two reason number
two reason number two is you don't
practice
paraphrasing often times the students
think oh when I am fluent I will finally
know many words and everything and then
I will talk to everybody
yeah but fluent people don't know all
the words I'm not no fluent people do
not know all the words fluent people
Master look at the word Master Okay
fluent people master
the art of
paraphrasing okay they Master the art of
paraphrasing do you know what
paraphrasing is yes or no tell me here
in the chat do you know what
paraphrasing
is fluent people do not have
extraordinary vocabulary watch my
videos even though I'm working so I
simplify my communication that is true
okay people come here oh she's easy
because she's Brazilian yeah I'm easy
because I'm a teacher of course it's
easier um ah but she's Brazilian of
course it is easier I'm teaching English
it will be easy you know and some of
these people when I get face to face
I've I've been face to face to some and
I'm like yo speak to me talk to
me nope okay
um some new some don't okay no no no no
no no so fluent people do not know all
the words okay fluent people Master the
art of paraphrasing and you're going to
have homework today in the ebook that I
prepared for you to practice this art
nowadays I am an excellent paraphraser I
can paraphrase
anything that's why I can talk to anyone
anywhere anytime in English because I
have mastered the art of paraphrasing so
when I am in
trouble I paraphrase when I am in
trouble in a conversation and I'm like
a i paraphrase and then people think wow
she's so
cool so that's what you need to do
paraphrasing now I'm going to explain
okay paraphrasing is simply to explain
what to don't know so paraphrasing is
when you
naturally explain
a word you don't know how to say because
you want to keep the conversation going
you're not going to stop to go on Google
Translate to find the word you use your
communication skills and you
describe
smoothly as naturally as possible the
word you need the expression you need
the adjective you need the situation you
need that's paraphrasing and no native
speakers and native speakers they do
this all the time they are always doing
this there is this philosopher I watch
on YouTube and oftentimes he uses really
Advanced words like Advanced for native
speakers okay not just for me words that
regular people don't know because
they're so technical they're
so
polished so he
paraphrases and then everybody's like oh
okay you know I have a friend in Brazil
his Portuguese is
awesome sometimes he uses very difficult
words in Portuguese so I always look at
him as like
dude Portuguese to people like me come
on give it to me something easy then he
paraphrases so everybody uses this
technique native and non-native speakers
okay what I want you to do is you got to
work on the paraphrasing skill so that
it becomes something natural to you so
you don't panic when you don't know a
word people panic students tend to panic
when they don't know a word they freeze
they
sweat do you get nervous when you don't
know a word more specifically when
you're talking to a relative or when
you're on the phone or when you are at a
meeting you know an important meeting do
you get like Oho my god oh I need to
speak this I don't know is that you yes
no so when you when you work on
paraphrasing this stops
happening because you feel more
confident explaining things okay and
that's what I want it to happen to you
stop the sweat stop the nervousness and
naturally present your ideas even if you
don't have the exact words because if
you're waiting to know all the words to
be fluent you're going to be chasing a
ghost okay you're going to be Chas
chasing the the the treasure at the end
of the rainbow and I don't want this for
you because life is
short okay you could study for the rest
of your life like I intend to do I
intend to study English until my very
last day let I'm making a promise to you
guys if YouTube is available in 60 70
years I'm going to be coming here I have
teacher
and I'm honoring my promise to help you
talk to anyone
anywhere
anytime I mean it you know and I hope
you guys join my
live I'm not going to be looking so nice
anymore you know I'm not going to be
looking so pretty anymore but I'm going
to be
here I want to see how many people will
join me you know if YouTube is still
exists if internet still exists if
the uh the Terminator hasn't come and
destroy the Earth you know I'll be here
teaching try really hard you
know and I'll be probably teaching the
same lesson I'm going to be guys
paraphrasing come on okay oh my goodness
anyway Let's Get
Serious so if you don't work on this you
will get stuck you will get nervous and
you will start to think that there is a
problem you're going to be like Taylor
Swift it's me hi I'm the problem it's me
and it's not it's not really a problem
it's a natural process in the mind okay
now paraphrasing as I said you state
something written or spoken into
different words okay you use different
words you use the words you know when
you're explaining something when you're
paraphrasing you make it simple you make
it shorter so you don't translate so
you're not like uh uh uh
um I I I don't know many people do this
i i
s i in my language okay in Portuguese
some people go to Portuguese I know this
I know students or are they go in your l
in your in Spanish what is the word that
they say in
Spanish ah there was a word they
shouldn't used what's the word she said
when she was
thinking I don't
remember I remember next time I remember
next time but different languages people
use different words
[Music]
okay and they go to their language they
start they start having that
conversation no
paraphrase paraphrase okay
don't waste time you don't know accept
you don't know a word accept and work
around this is something that I do with
my students when we have live workshops
okay with my babies we go on Zoom we
have live conversations sometimes I give
them speaking exercise and I'm like go
speak and then they're like uh I don't
know the word work around work around
work around go around don't waste time
and this is what needs to happen to you
don't waste time you don't know you
don't know keep going okay and use what
I said I will remember next time I
always use this I will
remember next
time I never say oh I always forget oh I
never know I always say I will remember
next time because remember the words
have power remember that I said that
words have power I want you to type this
words have power
words have power so instead of saying
when I forget a word oh I'm so stupid I
can't remember anything never ever no I
am honest oh man I don't remember okay
that's true I don't remember but then I
the next thing I say okay I'll remember
next time fine and then I move on okay
then I move on because words have power
and when you understand the words have
power you watch out you become
intentional with your words because they
have power okay and I'm not saying like
oh I have power so bling Tom Cruz is
going to fall in love with me no
unfortunately that's not how it works
okay when I when I say where have power
I'm talking about real real istic things
about you
okay excellent excellent now as I said
I'm always giving challenges to my
babies we have our platform the academy
on the platform with the lessons the
activities every month we have workshops
with my students and in our group on
Facebook we have more if they want to do
more I have some extra challenges to my
babies and I give them some paraphrasing
challenges so that they can work we have
like uh different words for for them to
paraphrase for them to work on so that
they can practice paraphrasing
paraphrasing is something that you
should be working on all the time today
I was studying
Italian and then there were some new
words and I paraphrased them to help me
remember okay why because paraphrasing
is a great way to study vocabulary to
help you remember more and to help you
speak more because then you don't get
stuck now based on on that it's two
reasons I thought it was three it's just
two
Tada based on that what not to do oops
excuse me what not to
do it's don't time it is don't don't
go you know you break my
heart don't go okay that's very
important now now is the don't okay
don't moment everybody everybody just
keep going can't
stop can't stop
okay
a let's go to don't moment the don't
moment
is could you write the word paraphrasing
I mean okay let
par
phrasing don't fight come on type some
Dons to me let's see if you're paying
attention don't moment okay I want to
see if you're paying attention it's the
don't time it's the don't
moment I'm happy today I'm happy because
it's
Friday oh my God but I have no
particular reason to be
happy unless it's just like life okay
just I'm just happy because life is
good um
now first
don't don't try to memorize all the
words you study okay doesn't work I wish
it would work but it doesn't don't try
to memorize all the words you study it
doesn't work because I explained to you
I explained the two reasons okay why
your English is stuck your English
vocabulary
stuck don't focus on that second don't
don't translate words when
studying because what you should be
doing is to work on paraphrasing so
don't translate them
immediately it takes more time it is
more time consuming to study words in
English but it's more efficient
longterm okay
longterm and we always need to think of
longterm and I I know it sucks I know
it's challenging I know it's hard but
it's a journey okay the journey
continues it never ends the journey
continues it never
ends as I always say here on my channel
and that's what I say in the event in
the workshop that is going to start next
week how to go from stuck to speaking
over the next six months and I'm always
very honest about that teacher in six
months so can I go from stuck to
speaking absolutely so after that I'm
I'm done absolutely not you keep going
the journey never ends but what I want
you to see the transformation is that in
six months right now at your level of
course you can go from stuck to speaking
understanding much much much much much
more that's what I want to happen to you
and it will if you follow the right
method it will
happen but the journey will continue it
never
ends this is something that I always
tell my students the journey continues
it's never ending okay it never
ends now guys the third thing you're not
going to do do not do don't
ignore don't ignore supporting skills
when learning vocabulary okay do not
ignore supporting skills when learning
vocabulary Reading Writing speaking
listening they are all important so when
studying vocabulary combine remember I
talked about this on Monday I talked
about
integration integrated
practice why because to be fluent you
got to integrate the practices okay very
very important if you don't remember
this watch the video from Monday because
they will be gone by the way they will
be gone by
Sunday the warmup one warm up two warm
up three warm up four warm up five
will'll be gone on Sunday morning Sunday

workshop on Monday the workshop starts
so the preparation will be gone because
I want you to focus on the workshop got
it got it so watch while you can okay
watch while you can
now you make me W to say I do I do I
do I do I do
I
do do do time ah do doo doo moment who
is ready for do do doo right do do doo
time doo do doo moment do do doo
yeah do do
do and I prepare two exercises for you
today cuz she's on
fire yeah yeah yeah yeah
I I want to see some doo do DOS because
I I I I like to see the doo doo you know
I I I I got to see
[Music]
them okay first do practice
paraphrasing every time you study every
time and you can start with simple words
house tell me how do you paraphrase
house how do you paraphrase in English
please English challenge right now
paraphrase house what's a house explain
house to
me
house how do you paraphrase
house bring it on how do you paraphrase
house
and why am I giving you a very simple
word because if you're not used to
paraphrasing start with easy words and
then step up the game okay the place
where we live okay very nice that's a
house the place where we live it's a
place to live a place to live in very
nice place I
live home yeah but home is a synonym how
do you explain
home the place I
live that is very true Christian one
word One meaning one English worth
thousand meanings that is absolutely
right
okay a place to go back to every day
every day after work okay maybe just
complimenting the place that you live in
it's my favorite place it's a place I
don't need to pretend I can be myself
oh my God uh my best place where I can
find some rest safe place okay so you
start with easy words and then you move
on to difficult ones okay so do you
understand easy words then move on to
verbs Expressions this will get
difficult but that's why you practice
okay that's the idea now the second do
do do connect your vocabulary practice
with your reading listening and speaking
practice today you're going to do this
today I'm going to pick some words from
the reading and from the listening and I
want you to paraphrase and post your
paraphrase in our group on Facebook let

homework oh my goodness where is
