Hey guys, welcome to my channel.

Today we're going to talk about learning English fast

and I know a lot of you guys are struggling to move from intermediate to advanced to upper intermediate

and this has been my problem as well and I'm going to talk about the things that really helped me move from,

you know, I learn English, I read in English but I can't really speak it, I don't really understand native speakers sometimes,

I'm kind of in the middle, I kind of know English but but I can't really use it.

So I will try to take you today, lift you up from your intermediate,

and show you ways of where to go if you wanna become advanced very soon.

So if you're interested in speaking English like a native speaker, continue watching this video and make sure to watch it up to the very end,

and make sure to smash the like button right now if you think that the topic is useful.

I'm waiting for you to smash the like button.

Good this video is brought to you by Skillshare

so first of all make sure you have a very clear goal

and a target

so before I was 14 years old

I was like English is amazing my parents tell me to learn English great I'm gonna do

that but at the age of 14 I went to the UK

and I saw a completely different life I saw people chasing various goals

I tried British food I saw the culture and I was like I want to be a part of that world.

I want to be a part of this

Western world because I was born and raised in Russia.

It all seemed completely different from where I came from

and I knew that the only way for me to become a part of

that world was first to learn English

and to speak it like a native speaker

and second succeed in my studies because English is just a way to integrate into society.

English is just an instrument that will get you somewhere

and apart from English you also need something else right

because you don't want to end up just being a great english speaker

you want to end up being a great english speaker talking about a topic of your expertise

and this is when i realized okay

so this is where i moved from just learning english like grammar vocabulary

this is where i moved to learning about something in english

and because i was 14 my dream was to go

and study in great britain

so i started researching universities in the uk I started researching scholarships and I started to use my intermediate English for it.

I started to read articles and this way I was able to improve my vocabulary

and because I was so passionate about this topic, it wasn't really a struggle for me.

I wanted to do that.

I waited for that one hour in the evening that I had to do my research.

So, and this is something I would advise you to do.

Find a topic that interests you the most.

Set a goal.

For example, complete a course on photography or completed course

and productivity in english and then go towards it move towards it

and always check back with yourself am i enjoying what i do am i enjoying my goal

because this is the most important thing the next advice might be a little counterintuitive

but people keep telling you read a lot read a lot read a lot doesn't really work with english

because you know what i noticed happened to me

when i started reading a lot especially

when i started reading a lot on a topic

that is professional there were so many words that are specific to

that topic like medicine

or whatever i couldn't pronounce them i kind of read them i understood what they meant

but would you ever check like obgyn how to pronounce it i was like ob gin

or whatever and uh that was the wrong way to pronounce it

so it is really important that you not only read

but you mostly focus on listening to things in english on your topic

so this way you are learning how to pronounce words

because that's really important because again the problem

that i had i knew a lot of specific words related to pregnancy for example

because i was first time pregnant here in the us

so i read a lot but then i came to my doctor

and i tried to say something and she didn't get me

because i was pronouncing these words incorrectly and this is

when i realized i should have listened more instead of just reading the next advice don't translate word for word

sometimes you're like oh my god she just used this word

that I didn't understand let's just go back to this

and let me translate the whole phrase no this way you're gonna lose interest

so if you're reading a book

and you know every paragraph you may be meeting like two

or three words that you haven't seen before that's totally fine

if you still understand the context

if you still understand the topic of the book

you still understand what's going on then just let them pass by let those words stay

there in the book no need to translate everything just make sure you understand the general idea

and this advice is by the way really useful

if you're just about to take an english language test because in english English language test, they use the strategy a lot.

They...

use a lot of difficult words that you don't really need to understand.

They're doing this to confuse you, to make you scared, but the questions that they ask, they don't really relate to those words.

They relate to general idea.

Because I just recently took TOEFL, I can tell you that there was so many words

that I didn't understand and I've lived in the US since 2016

and they just want you to feel overwhelmed with this academic vocabulary, but then they ask you questions to answer

which you don't really need to understand those complicated words

if you're learning english to live in a foreign country

then forget about writing again this might sound a little counterintuitive

but what you need to analyze right now is why do you need english

if you're gonna stay in your country

and uh all you gonna do is write academic papers then yes

but you need to kind of allocate those percentages to different areas of english

that you're gonna use

so for example i live in the us 80 of my time i speak english

because i record videos i talk to people this means

that i need to dedicate 80 of my time to speaking

and listening and only 20 of my time to reading

and writing because i want to work on the skills

that i need the most so if you're planning on staying in your country

100

and write academic papers in english then yes 80 of your time dedicated to english should be focusing on reading

101

and writing because this is the way you hone the skill

102

and you don't really need to care about speaking and listening

103

but if you plan on moving somewhere

104

if you plan on working in an English speaking environment then you totally need to focus on speaking

105

and listening the next advice is to take an online course

106

and we've already touched upon this a little early in this video

107

but you really need to ask yourself what am I interested in apart from English what am I interested in

108

so for example I am interested in becoming more productive

109

because I have a baby I have three YouTube channels I have my Instagram tick -tock companies

110

so many things going on in my life how do i

111

stay productive how do i allocate my time depending on what goals i have

112

and by the way there is an amazing course on skillshare

113

that can help you with that the course and productivity

114

that i really like on skillshare is called productivity today managing attention in the digital age

115

i know all of us are learning english digitally and you have

116

so many things going on in your laptop

117

i have all of my messengers i have my email i have people calling me all the time

118

so i think it's really important to have dedicated time slots

119

when you're doing something to have dedicated time slots during the week

120

so for example one day you're focusing on your listening another day you're focusing on your speaking

121

so you know just planning things ahead and staying productive

122

and staying on top of your routine is really really important

123

and this is why i recommend

124

this course on skillshare skillshare is an online learning community where

125

millions come together to take the next step in their creative journey with thousands of inspiring classes for creative

126

and curious people on topics including illustration design photography video freelancing

127

and productivity skillshare is created specifically for learning meaning there are no ads

128

and you're getting access to classes for less than ten dollars

129

a month with an annual subscription the first 1000 followers who

130

hit a link below will get a free premium membership on skillshare for two months

131

so you can totally explore the course

132

that i'm talking about for free the next advice forget about perfect grammar

133

because whenever you try to be perfect in anything in a language

134

that slows you down

135

because your brain is like okay I need to say this phrase in English oh

136

and I also want to make sure I sound perfect

137

and this is just too much for your brain because there is

138

so much going on you need to think about your ideas

139

you need to think about how to say them in English

140

and then you want to sound perfect maybe you want to use

141

this past perfect continuous tense don't do it you can try to use

142

it later i still refrain from using it

143

because that's too much for my brain i just want to sound simpler

144

and easier so yeah don't over complicate

145

and don't try to sound perfect it's totally okay to make mistakes

146

and this is what i'm here for you know i'm telling

147

you about the right ways to say different things about different ways to say things

148

but please don't be perfect you're gonna start saying something in a wrong way

149

but then you would hear people answering you you would hear back from people

150

and you would understand oh that didn't sound right

151

but you started a conversation and that's the most important thing you will correct yourself later

152

but please please start the next advice is try to listen to everything remember

153

i was telling you about like reading stuff

154

and then knowing how to pronounce it

155

so try to listen to audiobooks try to listen to online

156

courses try to listen to videos to surround yourself with listening to things in english

157

and that will really really help you hone your listening skills

158

and your speaking skills as well and the last

159

but not the least practice english every day

160

that's the key to success maybe it's 15 minutes maybe

161

it's 20 minutes maybe it means just watching my videos daily maybe you're you've downloaded an audiobook

162

and you listen to a chapter per day

163

or you started a course on skillshare

164

and you listen to a lecture a day this is really important to be consistent

165

and to do something every single day thank you

166

so much guys for watching this video up to the very end

167

i hope it helped you become more enthusiastic about learning english

168

169

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
