Hey guys, welcome to Lingua Marina.

Today we're going to talk about a 30 -day plan to learn English

and what I want you to do right now is first of all to take out your exercise book

or maybe your notes in your phone in order to write things down

because we're going to go through the plan day by day.

I'm going to tell you what you're going to do

and I guarantee you that

if you follow this plan by the end of day 30

you would be amazed how English has become your habit

and how diverse the world of English is that means

that every day you can find something new

and something exciting to do in English

and this is the whole goal of this video

so please make sure

that you listen carefully please make sure you watch it up to the very end and

that you write things down day zero here

you start with taking a test

I found a perfect free test for you from Lancaster University it tests your ability to listen to write

and to read in English please take this test assess where you are

and write a very specific goal like what is your goal with learning English I want to take TOEFL test

and score 100 I want to get accepted to this university

or I want to reach upper intermediate by uncertain date

so you need to come up with a very specific goal

and for the next 30 days you're gonna work on achieving this goal

and you're gonna work on improving your English now ideally I would love you to download something

that we've prepared for you down in comments below there is a small calendar

that you can download that would follow my schedule

and also some sheets that you can print out

and just track your progress throughout the day just write something down

so on day zero i want you to write down your test result

and i want you to write your goal it is very important to note your test result

because you're going to compare your results at the end of this 30 -day marathon day number one listening here

i want you to go to ed .ted .com

they have a lot of videos most of them are like two three minute long

i want you to select a topic that you're interested in

and i want you to not just watch the video

and by the way you can watch it with subtitles

or without subtitles i would recommend to start watching without subtitles

and see whether it makes sense for you but it's also very important

that you choose the video that corresponds with your interest like

if you're interested in psychology take that video

if you're interested in geography take a geography video then

if you don't understand what's going on switch on subtitles

and the next thing I want you to do is to click on the think tab

because some of the videos on that website have a comprehension test

that means you're going to test how much you understood

and some of the videos also have additional information under the dig deeper tab please explore

that one and share your opinion about what you saw in the discuss tab

and when you share your opinion please let others know

that you came here from lingua marina channel

because this way you would be able to see people who actually came from this video

and are doing the same thing with you and of course

if you encounter new words write them down in day one section of the pdf file

or exercise book

that you're using day number two speaking on day number two

you need to watch my video about eight ways to practice english the link will be below

and ideally sign up for the course

that is called speak like a pro 2 -0 this is a three -week marathon

that can boost your speaking this course was created by my friend vinya who is a professional english teacher

and each marathoner will have a partner to work with

when choosing a partner for you we'll make sure they have similar interests time zone

and english comprehension levels many of our previous students keep in touch with each other

and i think it's a great opportunity to not only practice your english

but to also build your worldwide network there are 14 lessons and three live streams where you can ask all your questions

This marathon is best for those who have an intermediate level of English or higher.

The next batch starts on April 5th, so hurry up.

Day number three, reading.

On this day, I want you to explore a free website with news for English language learners.

So they basically take news from all over the world, but they are adapted for English language learners.

The website is called breakingnewsenglish .com.

The news there is divided into seven levels from zero to six, so you can choose the one that suits you.

Each news has several reading comprehension tasks and audio.

Therefore, if you want, you can go practice listening on that website as well.

Day number four, writing.

On this day, I want you to write an essay, again, using the PDF that we gave you or an exercise book.

I want you to write an essay about your ideal day in five years.

Oh my God, guys, this task will not only help your English, but it would also help you work on your goals.

Because if your ideal day looks like, oh, i wake up and i have breakfast with three of my kids

and you're not even married then you know what you're gonna do the next five years

or your ideal day looks like waking up in a different country then you know what you're gonna do

so please write a small essay about your ideal day.

I would say two to three hundred words.

That's enough to practice your writing.

Day number five, grammar.

On this day, I want you to select one particular topic, grammar topic that you're struggling with.

Is it present perfect or present simple or conditionals?

And then you go to, I give you two options, two different websites.

The first website is learnenglish .britishcouncil .org.

Or if you're a teenager, there's a second option.

You can use learnenglishteens .britishcouncil .org.

And you type into the search bar the topic

that you struggle with the most and you read the materials on

that topic day number six have you been writing down the words

that i told you to write down during your listening exercises on ted during other stuff

that you were doing now this is the day where you select 10 words

that you think are the most useful maybe

you heard them several times during your practice maybe you just realized they're super useful for your future

and today i want you to highlight those words write them down once again

and also create a sentence with each word

100

and then spend around 10 minutes just looking through those maybe googling them

101

and looking at images that are associated with those words

102

and try to memorize them day number seven is day off

103

but this is a day off in english

104

so do whatever you want to do

105

but in english watch my videos on silicon valley girl

106

or watch a tv show on netflix or listen to music in english

107

but take five minutes to go back to the words

108

that you highlighted yesterday or on day six and read them once again

109

because this would really help you memorize them day number eight listening today you're going to listen to a song

110

that you really like and you need to try

111

and write down the words that you hear

112

and then of course once you've written them down you try to sing together with a singer

113

and only then after you've done this you go

114

and google the actual lyrics and see how close you were

115

if you don't like music

116

you can listen to the podcast from bbc six minute learning before listening read this week's question

117

and vocabulary after listening go back to the question

118

and answer it the bbc also has a wonderful podcast the english

119

we speak there you can find two three minutes podcasts where the meaning of the word is explained

120

and examples of its use in speech are given do not forget to highlight words

121

that you've encountered for the first time

122

and spend at least five minutes memorizing them day number nine

123

speaking again one of the most important parts of learning the english language

124

you can continue practicing with your speaking buddy i hope

125

you enrolled in the course speak like a pro to zero

126

but i also have the whole series of videos where i teach

127

you how to speak like a native speaker mostly american english

128

so please watch one of the videos

129

and start practicing your new accent day number 10 reading again

130

and i'm gonna give you a couple new ideas where you can practice your reading

131

you can go to a website wrongchan .com slash reading.

132

This site is for those of you who are just starting learning English.

133

It contains text about various topics.

134

Each text has an audio and some of them have tests for checking your understanding.

135

And another website is called dreamreader .net.

136

It is a website where you can not only train your reading skills, but also learn interesting and sometimes unusual facts about the world.

137

Each article has audio and a test that you can take if you want to.

138

This website is for pre -intermediate slash intermediate levels day 11 writing

139

this is another mental slash english language task what would you do today

140

if your english level was advanced like

141

if your goal is accomplished today what is your action plan

142

because sometimes again our goals are not too specific sometimes you're like oh i want to be advanced in english

143

and then you're advanced and what's next

144

so it's really important to think about those next steps

145

and make them more specific like okay

146

if i'm advanced today i am uh applying for harvard university

147

and go to harvard university's website explore the programs write down the criteria

148

that they're looking for maybe you also need toefl maybe

149

you also well you need toefl maybe you need gmat maybe you need something else like explore

150

that section this is super important

151

because this way you know oh once i'm advanced i'm flying to harvard

152

and i already know the website i'm going to like be very specific in this task

153

and again write it down on either exercise book or the pdf

154

that we've provided you with day number 12 grammar

155

and here i would suggest downloading a workbook

156

that i've created together with my team lingua trip grammar is all

157

you need it covers the most important aspects of grammar

158

and it has an exercise book so you can practice

159

so today your task is to just download it

160

and start working on one of the first topics

161

that you select there and again start with something

162

that looks the most difficult for you always

163

when you have a choice start with something that's more difficult

164

because you're more enthusiastic at the beginning of the process rather

165

than at the end of it day 13 13 is my favorite number words

166

now today it's time to cross out words that you highlighted before that you already know by now.

167

you just cross them out and you say goodbye to them

168

because they're in your brain but it's time for you to come up with new words

169

so you highlight 10 more words

170

and repeat the same practice you write the sentences with them

171

and you also spend at least five minutes just reading them

172

and uh thinking how you would be able to use them day 14 is again our day off

173

you do whatever you want i recommend watching a netflix show called the one

174

this is a great show i like their plot

175

and i also like that it's british english for a change

176

because i'm trying to speak american

177

and uh they're in the one they speak british english they have a lot of london in

178

that tv show so watch that one write down new words

179

and spend at least five minutes repeating words from yesterday now you see

180

that we're kind of repeating the topics already it's just

181

because it's all about consistency it's all about being consistent with one particular topic every single week

182

so week three and week four you just repeat whatever we've done before day 29 is

183

when you tell yourself I'm a hero and you go back in your notes

184

and you like scroll through your exercise book

185

or pdf whatever you were doing

186

and ask yourself what was the most difficult part what was the most difficult thing

187

and you do it once again because

188

if it was difficult there is a big big chance you haven't understood it completely

189

or maybe you still need time to look at it once again

190

so this is the day where you look again at the most difficult topic

191

and day 30 is when you take your test again you note your results

192

and most importantly you share them down in comments here

193

and you tell me about your progress you tell me whether it worked

194

or not come back to this video at the end of day 30

195

and please please please share what you've done please share how it went this is super super super exciting and

196

if you're taking this 30 -day marathon i'm just asking

197

you to come back to this video not only at the end of it i'm also asking

198

you to come back every week to just tell others

199

that guys I'm on day 13 where you are

200

201

202

¿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.
