1
hello everyone
2
and welcome to my channel today i want to talk about
3
how to make english a daily habit it's okay to learn english with a book
4
or with a grammar book but you also have to learn english
5
while you entertain yourself it can be with videos books social media
6
because that's when you start making english part of your daily life
7
so the first topic that i want to talk about is social media
8
because i think it's the best way to learn new words new expressions phrasal verbs you can also understand humor
9
and see how people talk in real life so the first tip
10
that i want to give you is that you start following people
11
that you like influencers that you like
12
that speak english you can start following people you find interesting and also you're going to start training your algorithm.
13
Because when you like or comment videos in English, you're going to have more videos in your for you page in English.
14
That's what I do with German, for example.
15
I learned German and I follow a lot of people who speak German.
16
And so my for you page started being videos only in German.
17
And that's how I learned a lot of expressions.
18
And that's why right now I can understand humor or I can understand when people talk in real life.
19
You can also participate in the comments.
20
For example, if you watch a video in English
21
and you find something funny or you want to give an idea or whatever it is, you can write it in the comments to practice your writing.
22
We use TikTok, Instagram, YouTube more than one hour a day.
23
So if you use it to learn English and you learn new expressions,
24
you are going to be more productive and also you're going to learn new things every day.
25
Also, your brain is going to get used to it,
26
so English is not going to feel something external or something weird for your brain.
27
It's going to be more natural because you're going to use it every day.
28
The second part is serious.
29
One of my favorite ways to practice English
30
or any other language is watching one episode before going to sleep
31
so I'm in bed maybe it's like 9
32
or 10 p .m I want to relax
33
and I watch an episode of a series I like for
34
example in English right now I'm watching Desperate Housewives I love
35
that series so every night before going to sleep I watch one episode
36
and I don't write down the vocabulary that I don't know
37
or I don't google things if I don't understand a word or an expression.
38
I just watch it and I try to understand everything by context.
39
Of course if you see
40
that a word is repeated a lot of times you can just put it in the translator
41
because you're going to learn a new word but don't worry if you don't understand everything.
42
The ideal percentage when you watch an episode is
43
that you understand between 60 or 70 percent
44
and of course you should watch it with English subtitles because if you watch it with subtitles in your native language,
45
for example Spanish, you're going to pay more attention to the subtitles instead of the audio.
46
The third topic is books.
47
I love books well of course I love all the topics
48
that I'm talking about
49
but books I love it one of my favorite hobbies is to read a book
50
and then watch the movie so for example
51
when I was younger the first books I read were the Harry Potter books
52
so what I liked to do was to read the book
53
and then watch the movie so
54
when I read the book I could imagine everything by myself I didn't have like images in my head
55
because of the movie so I was very creative
56
and I could imagine the whole world and story in my head
57
and then I watched the movies and it was very good
58
because I already understood the story before watching the movie
59
so it was easier to understand and also
60
while I was reading I didn't check every word
61
that I didn't know maybe
62
if I saw the same word multiple times of course I wanted to know the translation
63
but if it was only one word I didn't look it up
64
because you are going to be tired and you the goal is
65
that you read the book it doesn't matter you don't have to understand everything the first topic
66
or idea is podcasts for example when I'm driving
67
or cleaning I want to do something else
68
and to be productive what I do is listening to a podcast in the language that I want to learn.
69
For example, in my case, German or French or Portuguese.
70
Of course, it's more difficult because you cannot read subtitles and also you're not watching a video,
71
so you don't have a context and it's more difficult to understand.
72
But you're going to train your ears because when you talk to native, of course, you won't have subtitles.
73
So it's the best way to train your listening.
74
So those were the ideas that I had and that I use with the languages that I practice and learn every day.
75
I believe making English a daily habit is one of the best things you can achieve.
76
If you study with a book or with a teacher two times a week
77
and you are not in contact with the language the other days of the week, you're not going to learn English fast.
78
So my advice is that you follow all the ideas that I just gave you.
79
I hope you liked this video and I will see you in the next one.

Bye bye!

¿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.
