4
Hi, I'm AJ Hogue, the author of Effortless English, Learn to Speak English Like a Native.
5
Join my VIP program at EffortlessEnglishClub.com.
6
EffortlessEnglishClub.com.
7
You can also add my pronunciation course.
8
My pronunciation course is great with any of my courses.
9
So VIP plus the pronunciation course or my Power English course and the pronunciation course.
10
They go together very well.
11
Of course, the pronunciation course teaches you, trains you to speak with a North American accent,
12
to have a nice, clear pronunciation so that everyone understands you.
13
All my courses are at EffortlessEnglishClub.com.
14
EffortlessEnglishClub.com Today's topic, the best method or methods for learning English.
15
What are the best methods for learning English?
16
And we're going to hear an expert opinion, not my own opinion.
17
We're going to hear from Dr. Stephen Krashen.
18
I'm going to play a short clip, a short quote from Dr. Krashen.
19
First, let me say welcome to everybody who's joining live.
20
So welcome, welcome to all our live viewers on Facebook.
21
We're live on Facebook. So welcome indeed.
22
People saying hello from many different countries.
23
Now, I'll get to your comments and questions later in the show.
24
Those of you watching live, relax.
25
I'll get to your questions and comments a little bit later.
26
Let's go now to our topic.
27
Dr. Stephen Krashen.
28
He's very famous.
29
He's famous in the language learning world.
30
He was a professor at the University of Southern California.
31
He's retired now, but he used to be a professor there.
32
Normally, I'm not very impressed by that.
33
But I have to say, he was a very good one.
34
And he was an expert on language acquisition.
35
Language acquisition.
36
That's what he called it.
37
Basically, language learning.
38
Same idea.
39
Now, Dr. Krashen liked to say these two words are a little different but for general purposes,
40
the general meaning is basically the same.
41
So he was an expert on language learning.
42
How do people, how do humans learn languages?
43
So how do people learn their own languages as babies?
44
And also how do we learn foreign languages?
45
And what are the best methods for learning languages?
46
What is the most effective, the most powerful method for learning a language, any language?
47
So he studied lots and lots and lots of languages and language learning.
48
He did lots of research and studied lots of different techniques for language teaching and language learning.
49
He wrote a few good books.
50
One book is called The Power of Reading, highly recommended.
51
and he wrote a lot of different research studies as well.
52
On this little clip, he's giving an interview
53
and he's talking about his own language learning and his research and what are the best methods.
54
What are the very best methods for learning?
55
Let's hear Dr. Krashen's opinion about that.
56
Here we go.
57
Those of you watching on video, that's Dr. Krashen on the left.
58
The good methods now are based on interesting stories where you fall in love with the story.
59
You get so interested in the story that you forget it's in another language.
60
Two methods do it.
61
TPRS invented by Blaine Rake, where this teachers and the students create the story together.
62
There's a lot of back and forth.
63
Okay.
64
So he says that the best methods use stories.
65
They are storytelling methods the best language teaching methods use stories.
66
And then he says something very interesting, something that I agree with completely.
67
He says the best methods,
68
the best storytelling methods, are the ones where that the story is so interesting or strange or funny that you forget,
69
as the student, you, you forget that you are learning a language.
70
Let's talk about that some more.
71
That the best language learning happens when you forget that you are studying the language.
72
How does this happen?
73
What is he talking about?
74
Because if we think about the traditional methods, the usual methods, the school methods, you never forget that you're learning the language, right?
75
You're sitting in a classroom and you're taking notes and the teacher's talking about, well, okay, so today we will do the,
76
you know, the past progressive in English and open your book to page,
77
you know, 75, and then you start taking notes and then you learn several rules for the present progressive, or the past progressive, sorry.
78
And then you might do some activities.
79
But it's very, very, very focused on the language, right?
80
The pieces of the language.
81
And you are completely aware, totally aware, that you are studying and analyzing this language, English.
82
You never forget that you're in English class.
83
You never forget that at all.
84
You're completely focused on that the whole time.
85
You're focused on the language itself.
86
Dr. Krashen says that the best methods, the most effective methods are story.
87
First of all, they use stories, number one.
88
And then number two, that as you are learning with these stories,
89
you start to forget, forget that you are actually learning the language.
90
In other words, the language learning happens unconsciously.
91
We might say subconsciously.
92
Another way we could say it would be intuitively or naturally.
93
That we're learning vocabulary and we're not even consciously aware that, oh, I just learned a new vocabulary word.
94
Or we're learning and improving our grammar, but we're not really even thinking about that.
95
We're not thinking, ah, now I'm studying grammar.
96
Now I'm learning grammar.
97
Now I'm learning the past progressive.
98
You're not even thinking about that.
99
You completely sort of forget that.
100
Why?
101
Because you are so focused on the story.
102
You're so focused on the story.
103
And what can even happen, this can happen, talk to our VIP members on Twitter,
104
for example, excuse me, and they'll tell you that sometimes they will completely forget that they are listening to English.
105
They're so focused on the story or the information that they're learning, that they're listening to, or even reading,
106
that they completely forget that it's happening in English.
107
They completely forget that they are doing this in a different language, not their native language.
108
And that's when the learning is happening completely automatically, exactly what Dr. Krashen's talking about.
109
So Effortless English, for example, I use a few different story-based methods.
110
Number one are mini-stories.
111
He mentioned Dr. Not Dr., I'm sorry, just Blaine Ray.
112
Blaine Ray, a teacher in the United States, developed a storytelling method called TPRS,
113
which I use that method and I've changed it a little bit.
114
I've adapted it to my own approach but definitely it comes from Blaine Ray.
115
And so my mini stories are teaching you English.
116
In the mini stories, you are learning vocabulary.
117
Even words that you may know already.
118
You say, oh, I know that word but you can't use it.
119
You're getting the repetition in the story so it goes deeper, deeper, deeper, so that vocabulary will become active.
120
You'll start using it more when you actually speak.
121
In those mini-stories, you are also learning grammar.
122
You don't even realize it because I never talk about the grammar in the mini-stories.
123
I never say, this is the simple past.
124
Oh, now this is the future.
125
Now this is the present perfect.
126
I never talk about that.
127
I don't want you to think about that.
128
Exactly what Dr. Krashen said, I want you to forget about all of that, and I want you to learn those verbs,
129
those verb tenses and conjugations,
130
completely naturally, in an unconscious or intuitive way,
131
because this is how native speakers learn, right?
132
This is how, when I speak English, I never, ever, ever think about those verb tenses.
133
Never.
134
Not one time do I think, oh, this is the simple past, and how do I conjugate this verb?
135
I never, never, never, never, never.
136
And not only now do I never think about that, I never thought about that even when I was a small,
137
small child still learning all of it.
138
At no time in my life have I ever thought about verb conjugations or the names of verb tenses.
139
In fact, until I became a teacher of English in graduate school,
140
until then, I didn't even know the names of many verb tenses.
141
and I guarantee right now you could go onto the street in the United States or Canada or wherever
142
and you could ask people, you know, tell me, what is the future progressive tense?
143
And many of them would not know.
144
Many of them would have no idea what you're talking about.
145
But of course, they would use that verb tense correctly when they spoke.
146
so this is the difference and this is what dr krashen is saying is
147
that the storytelling methods are powerful because you learn grammar in this natural way
148
because you learn vocabulary in this natural way
149
because you learn pronunciation in this natural way another type of story method
150
or lesson are called point of view stories and this is basically where we just change
151
the point of view of the story.
152
The simple example, the one I use the most, is just that we change the time.
153
So I'll tell one story happening right now.
154
So of course it's going to use mostly like the present and the present progressive tenses.
155
Then I'll tell the exact same story, but we imagine it was in the past now.
156
Oh, 10 years ago.
157
And then I tell the same story, but 10 years ago.
158
So, of course, all the verbs are going to change.
159
They're going to be different using simple past and maybe present perfect and maybe some other ones.
160
You don't need to think about that as the learner, as the student.
161
You don't need to think about that at all.
162
You just have to understand the story, understand it's happening in the past.
163
And I use lots of little phrases and words to remind you, like 10 years ago, in the past, there was a boy.
164
he went to the store he went 10 years ago right
165
so you get this in it's in the past
166
and then I might tell the same story again the exact same story
167
now we're imagining it happening in the future
168
and again of course all the verbs the grammar will change again
169
you don't have to think about it you don't need to remember the names of the verb tenses
170
you don't need to remember and analyze all of the different kinds of grammar.
171
Not necessary.
172
Just like Dr. Krashen saying, instead, you're going to learn through the story,
173
through the situation, what's called the context, it's the situation of the story, to help you understand this grammar,
174
this vocabulary, this pronunciation, all of it, naturally, intuitively.
175
kind of unconsciously.
176
And, you know, the other cool thing about these storytelling methods is that it's more enjoyable.
177
It's more enjoyable to listen to a silly, funny story, or even a serious story,
178
than to try to memorize 10 different grammar rules.
179
Right?
180
That's boring.
181
Memorizing grammar rules is boring, boring, boring.
182
listening to a funny, even a silly story is much more enjoyable.
183
So it's emotionally more enjoyable, which means you'll do it more often, which is another reason it's effective.
184
What's another type of storytelling method?
185
Well, the movie technique.
186
I have a whole long YouTube video about this, very detailed, where I talk about the movie technique.
187
basically it's using pieces of movies or television shows to learn English again why is it powerful?
188
Because you're learning through the movie.
189
So again, you're focused more on the story.
190
You're focused more on what's happening to the characters.
191
So again, you learn the vocabulary and the grammar and the pronunciation automatically, intuitively.
192
Again, hopefully, you mostly forget that you're learning English.
193
You mostly forget that you're studying
194
and you get focused more on the story that's happening in the TV show or the movie.
195
Another type of storytelling method is what I call interactive lessons.
196
And this is where I'll use, often I'll use something nonfiction.
197
So it's not exactly a story, but it's information, right?
198
So it's an article or an essay about some interesting topic.
199
Maybe some self-help topic, maybe about how to be a better leader.
200
Maybe about how to be persuasive.
201
Maybe how to make money.
202
Our book club, for example.
203
And then I'll use techniques where I ask lots of questions to get a lot of repetition of vocabulary
204
and key important grammar.
205
And again, you learn the vocabulary and the grammar in a more intuitive,
206
more natural way where you can just forget about studying really hard.
207
You can forget about trying hard to memorize.
208
I must memorize.
209
I must memorize.
210
You don't need to do that with these storytelling methods.
211
Not necessary.
212
Not at all necessary.
213
Now, there's another cool thing about stories and storytelling methods.
214
They help memory.
215
They're much easier to remember.
216
that means the vocabulary and the grammar inside of the story are also easier to remember.
217
Why is that?
218
Well, because a story, you know, a story is kind of like a complete whole, and it's emotional.
219
And it's, you know, if it's a good story, it's also visual.
220
You can imagine what's happening in your mind, right?
221
You'll see images.
222
You might even can imagine the sounds.
223
Sometimes for a good story, you can imagine the smells even.
224
So it's using several different senses, right?
225
And then there's usually an emotional part.
226
Now, that might be humor.
227
It might be a little bit funny.
228
It could be sad.
229
It might even make you angry or upset or frustrated, which actually all of those things are good for memory.
230
Any strong emotion, any emotion at all, in fact,
231
even if it's a weak emotion is good for memory you remember things when they are emotional you remember them better
232
if you have two experiences
233
one experience creates a strong emotion
234
and the other experience no emotion
235
you are more likely to remember the emotional experience for a much longer time even if it was negative
236
even if it was negative.
237
If it was positive, even better.
238
And this is something that stories naturally have.
239
I mean, that is the point of mini stories is to create some kind of emotion during the stories.
240
In my mini stories, usually I use humor.
241
So they're kind of funny.
242
They're very exaggerated.
243
Sometimes I use animals as topics, which makes it more strange and more funny.
244
not all of my stories are funny but many of them are very silly
245
but that's so they'll be more memorable so you remember them more easily
246
and again you'll be focused more on this story being silly
247
and funny and you'll just kind of start forgetting
248
that you are also learning vocabulary and grammar and pronunciation i'm doing all that for you right as the teacher i'm
249
designing the stories to teach you these things automatically.
250
But as the learner, you don't need to think about them.
251
You can just enjoy the story and repeat it again and again and again many times.
252
And then you will automatically learn all of this without the pain, without the memorization, without the tests, without all of that.
253
That's why they're so, so, so powerful.
254
related to this connected to this is this idea of vocabulary learning and reading because this is a
255
question i get from more advanced students maybe high intermediate level
256
frequently asked me what's the best way to improve my vocabulary how do i learn more words
257
and i always say read books read books read books read books i i say this answer probably 10 times every week.
258
Somebody asked me this question and I give the same exact answer every single time.
259
Read books.
260
Why?
261
Again, they're stories because most of these books are stories and they have all of the advantages of stories.
262
So learning to speak, I teach you with stories, verbal stories, right?
263
Audio stories where you're listening to the stories.
264
But just to increase your vocabulary to get a lot more vocabulary, reading stories are also excellent.
265
So you can read books.
266
Again, because they're stories that are more powerful than getting a book full of vocabulary words.
267
A lot of people do this.
268
They get some book, the 5,000 top vocabulary words in English, and they try to go through and memorize 5,000 words from this book.
269
That is crazy because, number one, it's hard work.
270
Number two, it's really super boring.
271
There's no real context, right?
272
These words are not naturally connected to each other.
273
They're just in some big list.
274
Maybe they have an example sentence or something, but it's still a terrible way to learn vocabulary.
275
There's definitely no emotion at all like a normal story would have.
276
And you definitely do not forget that you're learning English.
277
No, you very much remember you're learning English because you're so bored trying to remember this long list.
278
On the other hand, when you read a storybook, let's say you read a Hardy Boys book.
279
That's not too difficult for you.
280
So you start reading the Hardy Boys book.
281
It's a mystery book.
282
And very quickly, you're focused on the characters.
283
You're focused on the action.
284
What's happening in the story?
285
Oh, there's a mystery.
286
Oh, there's a ghost.
287
Oh, what's happening?
288
And then you start to feel some emotions connected to the story.
289
Maybe there's a little danger for the characters, the hardy boys, the heroes.
290
And, you know, very soon you forget that you're learning English.
291
You're actually learning new words because you're seeing new words.
292
Maybe you're quickly using an electronic dictionary.
293
You quickly look up a new word and you look, oh yeah, and you keep going.
294
But you don't try to memorize it.
295
You just see it, oh, okay, and then you keep going.
296
And then you see it again, you forgot again, you tap that word.
297
You see it again, the definition, and then you keep going.
298
And you keep doing this.
299
And eventually you'll find maybe by the middle of the book, now you remember that word.
300
You've learned that word with no pain, with no super effort, just by reading this big story,
301
this storybook in print, about that big, you know, a couple inches.
302
And so mostly you're just enjoying this entertaining story and yet by the end of the book,
303
you will have, you will have, oh, someone's at my door, delivery, I guess.
304
By the end of the book, you will have learned a lot of new vocabulary words.
305
You won't even realize how many you've learned, but you will have learned a lot by the end of that story.
306
Also, you definitely won't realize that your grammar has improved, but it will.
307
Why?
308
Because by reading that whole book again and again,
309
in every single sentence, you are seeing an example of correct grammar in a full natural situation.
310
And with all that repetition from that reading, you will just start to naturally learn,
311
intuitively, automatically learn, better grammar, better sentence structure.
312
Painlessly.
313
In fact, you'll probably eventually become a fan of the Hardy Boys.
314
You'll get another book and another book and another book.
315
There are many.
316
And soon you'll just completely forget that you're doing this to learn English.
317
You're just reading these stories and enjoying them.
318
And your English is also improving at the same time.
319
You will have achieved what Dr. Krashen is talking about,
320
which is completely forgetting about the language learning and yet learning the language very well.
321
That's the goal.
322
That's always my goal as your teacher in my courses.
323
My goal is always to try to get you to forget that you're learning English while you are learning English.
324
So that you're learning in the most powerful way, but at the same time, you're kind of forgetting about it, mostly.
325
Now, can I do this 100% every time?
326
No. Sometimes you'll realize it.
327
Sometimes you'll realize you're learning.
328
And sometimes you'll focus on the language a bit.
329
but I do my best to get close to that goal, to make it as enjoyable and as powerful as possible,
330
to achieve what Dr. Krashen is talking about, where you are learning super quickly and powerfully,
331
getting great results, and at the same time enjoying it and kind of forgetting that you're doing it.
332
It's really cool when this happens.
333
It's really fantastic.
334
That is the power of storytelling methods,
335
And that's why Dr. Krashen says that the best methods of language teaching and language learning are storytelling methods.
336
And I agree with him 100%.
337
And that's why I use stories in my lessons as well.
338
All right.
339
Question time.
340
I'm going to go to Twitter for a minute and answer one or two Twitter questions.
341
And then Facebook folks, Facebook viewers, I will come back to you.
342
But let's look at Twitter.
343
Don't want to ignore Twitter.
344
Let's go to Twitter.
345
Twitter.
346
All right, my Twitter.
347
Ah, Sergey.
348
Write it from the beginning.
349
Sergey has a good comment that I want to share with you.
350
So Sergey says, is giving advice to someone on my Twitter.
351
My Twitter is AJ Hogue, by the way.
352
Those of you watching, let me put it on the screen.
353
It's just at AJ Hogue is my name.
354
Add it on here.
355
There you go.
356
Okay.
357
So my Twitter is AJ Hogue.
358
That's where you ask me questions.
359
And recently, today, on Twitter, I was telling everyone, I'm telling you now,
360
you must listen to my audio podcast.
361
Subscribe to my audio podcast, the Effortless English podcast.
362
Why?
363
Because over half of the Effortless English show is only audio.
364
If you are watching my videos, only watching my videos on YouTube or on Facebook, you're missing half the show.
365
Okay?
366
You're missing half of it
367
Because I have a lot of the shows are just audio.
368
I only do audio, no video.
369
That's more than half of my shows are audio only.
370
So video watchers of the show, be sure to also get the audio podcast.
371
Very important.
372
You're going to get a lot more English audio, a lot more of the Effortless English show on the audio podcast.
373
and so I put that on Twitter
374
and then I had a few questions how do I get the audio podcast? how do I get it?
375
and it's very easy as Sergey gives us the answer right here
376
he says install a podcasting app on your phone or wherever,
377
any device then on the podcasting app it'll have a search function a search line,
378
a search area in the search area just put effortless English podcast, Effortless English.
379
Even just Effortless English is probably enough, but Effortless English podcast.
380
And it will come up.
381
You'll see my podcast with my face. And just subscribe then.
382
Then you subscribe.
383
And after that, it's automatic.
384
After that, every new Effortless English show will come into your device, will go to your phone automatically.
385
You'll get every one, including and especially the audio-only shows.
386
So don't miss the audio-only shows.
387
Now, I already know the next question because people ask it all the time, which app, which app, which app should I use, AJ?
388
It doesn't really matter, honestly.
389
Any podcasting app is fine, okay?
390
So you can decide, but I'll give you a couple choices here.
391
Okay, one is called TuneIn.
392
I'm going to put it on the screen if you're watching.
393
TuneIn.
394
TuneIn app.
395
It's right there.
396
Over on the right side.
397
TuneIn.
398
They have apps for all different devices.
399
Apple, Android, Blackberry, Windows.
400
Doesn't matter.
401
TuneIn has an app.
402
So go to your app store for your device, you know, Google Play, whatever, and tune in.
403
It's all together one word, T-U-N-E-I-N, tune in.
404
Search the apps.
405
You'll find it.
406
Boom, install it.
407
It's free.
408
After it's installed, what do you do?
409
You search for Effortless English Podcast with A.J.
410
Hogue.
411
You'll find it.
412
Subscribe.
413
Done.
414
now you'll get every single audio.
415
Some people say, oh, I can't find the TuneIn app.
416
Well, there are many other apps you can use.
417
If you have an Apple device, just use iTunes.
418
It's the easiest one.
419
Okay, mine is one of the top education podcasts on iTunes, so it's easy to find.
420
So iTunes for Apple users, easy.
421
Android users, there's so many different podcasting apps.
422
One that a lot of people use is Podcast Addict,
423
A-D-D-I-C-T Addict, like addiction podcast addict is very popular and you can find the Effortless English show,
424
the Effortless English podcast is on
425
that app also all of these apps are free they're easy to install
426
so just get a podcasting app whichever you choose get your favorite one, I think Spotify, that's another popular one
427
so just it doesn't matter podcasting app search for effortless english podcast subscribe three steps
428
and then automatically you get every single audio every single show
429
and my audio shows are they're quite different actually some of my audio only shows are i talk about culture
430
i talk about my travels.
431
They're more casual.
432
They're less focused on just English learning,
433
just education and business, and much more range, right?
434
Meaning many more different kinds of topics on the audio podcast.
435
I'll talk about food.
436
I'll talk about American culture.
437
I'll talk about my life, my travels, anything.
438
People suggest lots of different things.
439
I have a big, long list of topics to talk about.
440
Yesterday I talked about bugs and my nephew.
441
So if you want to get a lot of different topics and therefore a lot of different vocabulary in English, audio podcast, guys.
442
You got to subscribe to that.
443
You must.
444
All right, let's go to Facebook now.
445
Okay.
446
My answer to this one already is, I feel your pain.
447
I feel your pain.
448
Shabby Duncan says, I live in Scotland.
449
I have lived in Scotland for almost six years.
450
I arrived here.
451
When I arrived here, my English was basic.
452
I thought I could improve it, but I can't speak fluently.
453
I need to learn more vocabulary.
454
It's so difficult to understand the natives.
455
Hmm, yeah.
456
So, number one, you're dealing with Scottish English, which means you're dealing with the Scottish accent,
457
which is famous for being difficult, okay?
458
I mean, Americans, I don't know where in Scotland, there are probably different kinds of Scottish accents,
459
I'm guessing, but in general, you know, let's say for Americans, that a strong
460
Scottish accent can be very difficult even for us to understand.
461
You know, I've seen some movies with actors using a strong
462
Scottish accent and I have to focus a lot to understand what they're saying because if I don't focus, I'll miss some of it.
463
Okay, that's, I'm a native speaker, okay?
464
So the other problem is they have their own slang and their own idioms, right?
465
So this is these, a lot of idioms and slang.
466
People say, I want to learn, you know, English idioms, English slang.
467
But the truth is, it's not just for the whole English language.
468
A lot of slang, a lot of idioms are, depends on the culture.
469
So British slang is different than American slang.
470
And even inside of culture, there's slang that's used only by certain groups.
471
So some slang might be used mostly by teenagers.
472
Other slang might be used more by, you know, certain races.
473
Some slang is used more in, you know, one part of the country and not the other.
474
This all makes it more difficult.
475
So, you know, you're in Scotland, so you've got that strong
476
Scottish accent possibly you're dealing with.
477
They're probably dealing with Scottish idioms and slang, also challenging.
478
And then, of course, there's the normal problem of speed and all those things.
479
So what you're going to have to do, what I recommend to you is to get some
480
Scottish movies or TV.
481
TV is okay too.
482
But specifically to use my movie technique, check out my YouTube channel.
483
AJ Hoag is my YouTube channel.
484
It's also my name.
485
Okay, I'm going to...
486
A.J.
487
Hoag.
488
I'm going to stick it up there on the screen again.
489
That's also my YouTube.
490
So go there.
491
I've got a video called Movie Technique.
492
Movie Technique.
493
Watch all of that video.
494
Okay?
495
And then use that technique.
496
But using the technique, use it on Scottish television shows or Scottish movies or both.
497
only Scottish right so pick ones that have strong
498
Scottish accents and then you're going to go through a movie
499
or a whole TV series it's going to take you a long time it's a slow method
500
but it's powerful and it works and it will help you a lot so use that movie technique with Scottish material
501
Scottish audios
502
and videos this is the way you're going you'll certainly improve your vocabulary you're going to start to learn some of those
503
Scottish idioms and slang if you have Scottish friends.
504
You can ask them the meaning in the movies or the TV shows you're using.
505
You might have some idioms you have no idea what they mean.
506
You can't find them online.
507
Ask a Scottish person, what does this mean?
508
So in this way, you're going to start learning that
509
Scottish English much better.
510
Good luck to you.
511
All right, back to questions here.
512
so okay so this is the uh the ever the battle here now uh
513
so alibi saying that i was listening to your podcast you mentioned some people said
514
that my podcast was too long too much especially the audio podcast i add a lot of stuff there um
515
but i want you to make as much as possible
516
so see like you can't please everybody is the point
517
so now i've made it a little shorter
518
and other people say ah i want more give us longer
519
and then i made longer and other some other people complain oh give us shorter
520
so there's you can't make everyone happy i'll probably do about like i said
521
i've decided i'm gonna for now i'm going to do about somewhere between 40 minutes to one hour total per day.
522
In general, that's my goal.
523
Now that's audio plus video.
524
So if I do a 30-minute video, then that means I'll also do about a 30-minute audio or 20-minute audio.
525
Today I'm only doing the show live on video, but the cool thing is audio listeners, they get everything.
526
Audio listeners get everything because I'm recording this live, of course, on Facebook, but I also record it.
527
So the audio from every show is added to the podcast.
528
So you can always listen.
529
Listeners get 100% every single show.
530
Video watchers only get about half.
531
Aha!
532
Here we go.
533
Someone already took action.
534
There's fast action.
535
Podcast subscribe.
536
Thanks a lot, AJ from Kya Suar.
537
Sorry if I mispronounced your name.
538
It looks Burmese is my guess.
539
Myanmar.
540
Make long and short everybody happy.
541
How do I do that?
542
Make it longer.
543
Now I'm getting comments lots of people wanting longer.
544
and then some people like watching live video
545
and some people watching audio now i do do
546
that i'll be mixing video uh especially now now here's the issue
547
i recently i talked about this yesterday in my audio podcast telling
548
you know kind of talking about the advantages of audio
549
and i mentioned yesterday on my audio podcast only audio i mentioned that i'll be traveling soon probably,
550
well, soon, sometime like into this year or something, but possibly traveling for a while, for several months.
551
And that when I travel, it's much more difficult for me to do video.
552
And when I travel, it's almost impossible for me to do live video.
553
Live video like this requires a fast internet connection.
554
If the internet connection is slow, you already saw this happen probably.
555
this the video breaks it breaks
556
it breaks the sound is terrible too many problems can't i just can't do live video with a bad connection and
557
when i'm traveling i usually have bad connections
558
i'm using wi-fi in hotel rooms sometimes in coffee shops usually it's just not very fast
559
and so when i start traveling unfortunately i can't do the live videos like this
560
When I travel, I'll do some recorded video, but even that is hard sometimes because video has big files, big, big files.
561
So even sometimes if just recording the video, if I try to upload it, add it to YouTube, for example,
562
if my connection is slow, it takes forever, and then it just stops and it fails.
563
so even recorded video sometimes does not work well when I'm traveling
564
but the magic of audio is that the files are small small files
565
so it's easy for me to do audio anywhere
566
I don't need a camera I don't need good lighting
567
it doesn't matter I have a little audio recorder I can just carry about the size of a cell phone.
568
And I can do it when I'm walking around.
569
I can do it anywhere, and then I can just upload it to the podcast very easily.
570
And the files are fairly small, so usually it's no problem, even with a bad connection.
571
So that's why when I travel, the show will probably become much more audio and much less video.
572
When I'm at home, I'll do a mix of both.
573
Oh, this is interesting.
574
Antonio says, why is it easier for me to understand my Brazilian teachers speaking English but difficult to understand the natives?
575
A couple possibilities.
576
One guess is you're just used to their accent, right?
577
Because if you have probably, I'm guessing, you have been listening to Brazilian teachers mostly, right?
578
Like in school.
579
So most of your English teachers were Brazilian.
580
So you're used to their accent.
581
You're used to their pronunciation.
582
So when you listen to a native speaker, the pronunciation is actually different.
583
And you're not used to it.
584
So it's a little more difficult to understand.
585
That's possibility number one.
586
another possibility might be speaking speed.
587
It's possible that your Brazilian teachers are speaking more slowly and
588
that the native speakers you listen to might be speaking more quickly.
589
So I would recommend, however,
590
that you need to fix this because I'm guessing you want to use English with non-Brazilians because as a Brazilian, you can just speak
591
Portuguese to other Brazilians, so you don't need English.
592
So if you're going to use English, you're going to be talking to people who are not Brazilian, probably.
593
So that means you definitely need to understand those native speakers.
594
So you probably just need a lot more practice.
595
You know, my podcast is a good one to use because I don't speak too fast, too quickly, and I don't use a lot of slang.
596
I don't use a lot of So you can use my podcast.
597
You can use my courses if you want to find other podcasts.
598
You can use my movie technique that I mentioned before.
599
And, you know, with time that you'll get used to these native speakers,
600
their pronunciation, their accents, and it'll seem easier to you.
601
So it just takes a little time.
602
Okay, here's a really long one from Emmanuel.
603
I need a second to read this one.
604
Okay, so long one from Emmanuel today.
605
Hey, Emmanuel, again, this one's going to cover my face on the video.
606
All right, my question.
607
I've been told by my cousin to ask you this question.
608
Aha, he's been listening to your podcast.
609
He reads a lot of philosophy books.
610
For remembering the definitions of new words, he uses an app called Quizlet, which is similar to Anki, space repetition.
611
Right.
612
Yes, indeed.
613
Now, what do you recommend?
614
Is there another way to remember definitions, such as with physical movement?
615
Using your body to remember.
616
Yes, my Power English course uses,
617
it's called TPR, Total Physical Response there is a whole system of teaching and learning languages that uses physical actions.
618
It's especially good for vocabulary.
619
You can actually teach or learn a little bit of grammar with it, in fact.
620
But it's especially good for vocabulary.
621
However, it's best with vocabulary that is what we say concrete, real, right?
622
So this is a cap.
623
This is a lens cap.
624
Concrete means I can touch it, right?
625
It's physical.
626
It's real.
627
So that kind of vocabulary, physical things, real things, are really easy to learn with physical actions.
628
Also, actions, of course, verbs are very easy to learn and remember using physical actions to remember them.
629
However, a possible challenge or weak point of actions are things that are not concrete.
630
So, for example, philosophy, vocabulary might be hard to learn with physical actions.
631
You could possibly do it if you became creative to connect some action to the philosophical idea.
632
But a lot of philosophical ideas could be very, very, very challenging.
633
But I don't know.
634
Like, I'll give you a Buddhist one.
635
Equanimity.
636
Equanimity.
637
Equanimity.
638
What does equanimity mean?
639
It comes from the word equal.
640
So equanimity means that you react equally to all things.
641
So it's the idea of being calm, right? that you don't get upset by anything.
642
Something bad happens, you remain calm and peaceful.
643
Something good happens, you remain calm and peaceful.
644
You have equanimity.
645
So how could you remember the meaning of this word?
646
Well, maybe you could connect it with an action, like you could do this with your hands, which is like a hand symbol of meditation, right?
647
So you could kind of put yourself in that position of meditation and say equanimity, equanimity, equanimity, reminding yourself of the meaning.
648
So you could try to do something like that, and that physical action, that physical gesture might help with remembering.
649
On the other hand, you could just not worry about it at all.
650
Just keep reading lots of books.
651
So instead of spending lots and lots and lots of time with some space repetition thing,
652
or even lots of time with physical actions, just read more books.
653
And when the words come, highlight them maybe in an e-reader.
654
tap them maybe to see the definition on the e-dictionary.
655
Kind of maybe take one second, kind of, you know, okay, yeah, I mean, equanimity means equal, calm, right?
656
Got it.
657
And then just keep reading.
658
Just keep reading.
659
And then a few pages later, you see the word equanimity again.
660
And you can't remember, what is that again?
661
And you tap it again, highlight it again.
662
Ah, equanimity.
663
All right.
664
And then you keep going.
665
And third time, fourth time, fifth time, maybe by the 10th time, you'll start to remember it
666
without any space repetition
667
because the space repetition is happening actually
668
it's happening from the book the book is naturally giving
669
you the space repetition automatically according to the importance of the word in the book
670
if the word is very important to the book
671
to the ideas of the book then it's going to be used a lot more in the book usually,
672
naturally therefore you get a lot more repetition therefore you learn it faster
673
So, and this is, again, this is what Dr. Krashen talks about a lot, is that the power of reading.
674
You can get his book, The Power of Reading.
675
And Dr. Krashen recommends basically what I'm recommending here, which is don't even waste your time trying to review too much.
676
Just quickly look at the word.
677
You can even just guess.
678
Sometimes you just guess, like as a native speaker in English, I just guess the meanings most of the time.
679
Occasionally, I will highlight that word or click on that word see the meaning, uh-huh, and then keep going.
680
Of course, I forget it usually, but then after I do this several times,
681
reading through a book, I'll see those same words again and again and again, and by the end of the book,
682
I've learned most of them without any need for this kind of, you know, apps or anything like that.
683
Okay.
684
well the law is basically asking about homeschooling here why don't they close schooling
685
and let us learn at home like they do in japan learning online
686
they do there are people who do that in japan it's i'd say america i think is number one in homeschooling, which is better for everybody.
687
Yeah, I agree.
688
100% I agree.
689
Now, he's talking about, I think, learning online with the actual teachers teaching through the internet.
690
I mean, like basically what I do.
691
That's one kind of homeschooling.
692
We call it homeschooling in America.
693
Homeschooling or home learning.
694
It's really home learning because it's not school at all.
695
It's actually non-school.
696
It's anti-school.
697
It's really home learning or home education is a better word, but people call it homeschooling is the phrase that became popular.
698
I think home education is a much better word.
699
But anyway, I 100% support the idea of home education.
700
I will be doing more shows in the future about home education, homeschooling, home learning, because I believe it is the best,
701
absolute, 100% best way for anyone to learn, child or adult.
702
I 100% agree with you.
703
Now, there are so many ways to do homeschooling.
704
Okay, this is probably the most traditional way because this really is homeschooling,
705
what you're talking about, which is you still have a teacher, You still have the normal classroom.
706
Everything's the same, but basically the teacher teaches to a camera, like I'm talking to you now,
707
and the students are at home watching or listening on their computers or phones.
708
That's, excuse me, let's talk distance learning.
709
A lot of universities, a lot of colleges do this in America.
710
In fact, there are schools, University of Phoenix, I think is the biggest one,
711
that are almost 100% online distance learning schools, universities or colleges.
712
So it's become very popular with universities and colleges in America, this distance learning.
713
Now, this is still very traditional.
714
You're still paying your money to the school or the university, right?
715
Large amounts of money, usually.
716
And you're still getting grades, and there's still tests, and it's all kind of structured pretty similar to normal schooling
717
but the good part is you can do it from home and relax more.
718
So that's nice.
719
Now, there are, I think, even better ways where you are much more independent.
720
So instead of joining a college or a university, you pick and choose, you decide, you find the teachers you want.
721
You don't have, the school doesn't tell you, oh, you have to register for the class, you have to take this class.
722
You don't do that you just say, oh, I want to find somebody I like.
723
I mean, you're doing that with me right now, right?
724
Nobody forced you to listen to me.
725
No one forced you to get my courses.
726
No one forced you to subscribe to my podcast.
727
You found me and you tried and then you like it and you like my way of teaching.
728
You like my podcast.
729
So you subscribed.
730
You're the boss.
731
You are the boss.
732
It's independent learning happening online.
733
That I think is much better because you are the boss and you learn better when you are the boss.
734
And children also learn better.
735
Now, as they need their parents to guide them and coach them, especially at young ages, of course, obviously.
736
But as they get older, with homeschooling and independent learning, they will become more and more and more independent and active,
737
and they will become the boss of their own learning too.
738
It's very impressive, very powerful.
739
Great stuff, man.
740
I love it. So excellent comment.
741
I'll take one more and then time to go.
742
All right.
743
Just looking through the questions.
744
Takes me a second to read them.
745
Ah, this is a good comment.
746
I like this comment.
747
So Barry says, Hi, Jay.
748
Just wanted to say hello from Hungary.
749
I always listen to your podcast and chats when I ride my bike in the forest.
750
And this is the most perfect way of spending time for soul and for the body.
751
Thanks and regards.
752
Thank you.
753
And I 100% agree.
754
I highly, highly, highly.
755
This is such a great thing.
756
I highly recommend doing this.
757
It's so simple.
758
It's such a simple way to energize yourself while you're learning.
759
You know, in my Power English course, the whole beginning of that course, is really, I'm teaching you how to get that emotional power,
760
get that energy, so you're not just sitting and listening to the course, you know, getting sleepy and tired.
761
No. People ask me, how do I do this?
762
You know, I teach you some specific ways, some very powerful ways in the Power English course, but one of the easiest ways to do this,
763
to keep your brain awake, and therefore learn better, better concentration,
764
better energy, everything better, is just to move your body while you're listening to English.
765
I mean, this is the opposite of school, right?
766
In school, you sit in your chair at school, and then after a few minutes, you start leaning back and, right?
767
Or leaning forward, putting your head on the desk.
768
Or you're leaning back, you're sinking lower and lower, your energy drops.
769
Or if you're sitting at home, if you just sit in a room alone at home, listening to English, same thing is going to happen.
770
I guarantee it, right?
771
And as your body gets lower, as your body stops moving,
772
the energy in your body will naturally drop.
773
It just happens.
774
It's natural.
775
This is just a physical, mental reaction.
776
Okay?
777
The less you move your body, typically, the less energy it has, especially when you use these postures as body language,
778
where you're kind of sitting back, your shoulders are down, your head starts getting down, you're listening, but then guess what happens?
779
As the physical energy drops, then the mental energy drops.
780
You start losing your concentration.
781
Your mind gets a little sleepy, a little cloudy.
782
Your mind gets a little tired.
783
And then your listening is not so sharp.
784
You're not focused so well.
785
And therefore, you learn less.
786

Aussprache, auf die du achten solltest
Der Sprecher verwendet 244 Kurzformen und abgeschwächte Formen, zum Beispiel you're, I'm, don't. Sprich sie in der kurzen Form, so wie du sie hörst.
- Die Laute „sh“ und „zh“: pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, emotion /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən/, concentration /ˌkɑn.sənˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/, dictionary /ˈdɪk.ʃəˌnɛ.ɹi/
- Lange Wörter – auf die Betonung achten: vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, pronunciation /pɹəˌnʌn.siˈeɪ.ʃən/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/, concentration /ˌkɑn.sənˈtɹeɪ.ʃən/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/
Laute, die Deutschsprachigen schwerfallen:
- /w/ — mit runden Lippen, nicht wie das deutsche „w“ (/v/): awake /əˈweɪk/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/, acquisition /ˌæk.wɪˈzɪʃ.ən/, swim /swɪm/, waterproof /ˈwɔt̬ɚˌpruf/
- Stimmhafter Auslaut — /b/, /d/, /g/, /z/, /v/ am Wortende nicht verhärten: verb /vɝb/, subscribe /səbˈskɹaɪb/, progressive /pɹəˈɡɹɛsɪv/, headphones /ˈhɛdfoʊnz/, remind /ɹəˈmaɪnd/
- /æ/ — offener als „ä“: podcast /ˈpɑdˌkæst/, vocabulary /vəˈkæb.jə.lə.ɹi/, grammar /ˈɡɹæm.ə(ɹ)/, accent /ækˈsɛnt/, naturally /ˈnæt͡ʃ.(ə.)ɹə.li/
So übst du mit diesem Video
- Höre dir das ganze Video einmal an, ohne zu sprechen, und notiere die Wörter, die du nicht kennst.
- Sprich Satz für Satz in normaler Geschwindigkeit nach und wiederhole jeden, bis dein Rhythmus zum Sprecher passt.
- Nimm dich auf und vergleiche mit dem Original; achte dabei auf Wörter wie podcast, audio, vocabulary.
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
