In this video, I will share five simple habits that helped me become a successful language learner.
2
They won't take a lot of your time, only about 10 to 20 minutes,
3
but you will see your language level increase after giving them a try.
4
Let's begin with the first habit, talk to AI.
5
I think this habit will probably take you around 15 minutes a day.
6
I know a lot of you guys have heard recently how important it is to use AI
7
while learning foreign languages, especially English.
8
You can now ask ChatGPT a lot of different questions, like honestly, any question about language learning, that's what I do right now with Spanish.
9
If I have a question about grammar, if I'm not sure how to translate a specific word, I will just ask ChatGPT.
10
But recently they have introduced a new feature where you can actually use your voice to talk to AI.
11
I'm gonna try showing how it works because right now I'm at the park
12
and maybe my internet is not gonna be that great.
13
But the key here is to tell ChatGPT that you're a language learner and that you wanted to correct your mistakes.
14
Hello, I'm a language learner and I'm learning English and I want to talk to you about my day -to -day.
15
I want you to correct my mistakes and help me improve my vocabulary.
16
I'd be happy to help.
17
How was your day today?
18
My day was pretty good.
19
I woke up kind of late at 8 30 and then I had breakfast.
20
That sounds nice.
21
Just a small correction.
22
You can say I woke up kind of late at 8 30.
23
do you want to tell me more about your day thank you
24
so much uh yes right now i'm at the park recording a youtube video you're welcome
25
that sounds interesting what kind of video are you recording
26
i am making a video for language learners with some interesting habits
27
so as you can see it's really cool to use
28
because you can talk about something
29
that you did today your plans maybe your vacation plans
30
and chai chibiti will correct all of your mistakes
31
if you're not sure how to say a certain word again just use ai
32
and it will help you this habit is especially beneficial for
33
those of you guys who sometimes have this extreme motivation to learn the language
34
you know sometimes i have this feeling too i'm at home i'm doing something
35
and then i start thinking i want to speak spanish right now with someone
36
so bad and obviously it's kind of difficult to book a lesson
37
that fast and you can just open the app
38
and have a conversation and you can make it as short or as long as you want to.
39
Now let's move on to the second habit which is describing an object.
40
I would say it will take you around 20 minutes.
41
You can incorporate this habit into your writing routine
42
or your speaking routine but
43
because we kind of already talked about your speaking routine try to practice it while writing something in English.
44
So right now i'm at the park right
45
and behind me there are some very interesting flowers honestly i have never seen those flowers before
46
and i can just whip out my journal
47
and write what i think these flowers are called maybe
48
they remind me of something like what they look like the colors
49
and everything it is a beautiful writing exercise and plus it is connected to something that is happening around Jew, right?
50
You're not imagining things because sometimes it's very hard for us to use our imagination
51
and plus a lot of people are gonna say yeah like
52
why should I describe just an object from my imagination
53
if I will never see it or if I will never use it
54
and this exercise will actually even prompt you to Google the name of this plant, let's say, and be like what is this plant called,
55
you know take a picture and ask Google and stuff like that.
56
So this way you will be improving your vocabulary, obviously your grammar, because all of this is connected to active learning.
57
You have to be actively engaged to describe an object.
58
And of course, if you want to, you can also practice speaking this way.
59
I hope you guys all know and you can agree with me that when it comes to language learning,
60
building a habit and practicing it consistently is very important.
61
When you start practicing with a teacher, a common problem you might encounter is wasting time learning irrelevant things that are not even interesting to you.
62
You guys know that I use the platform LiveXP for practicing my languages and I always recommend it to you.
63
Recently, they have launched a new AI feature called the personalized path
64
that guides you through the whole process of finding out your English level, picking your interest and choosing a tutor.
65
And I'm very excited about this new feature and what it can offer.
66
So all you have to do is go to the main page, click on get started, choose English, and start building your personalized path.
67
Once you go through all the steps and get access to your personalized path to learn English,
68
you'll see that it covers reading, listening, vocabulary, and grammar.
69
And you can revise all of the new words on the
70
LifeXP app in a very convenient way by using the space repetition technology that they have integrated there.
71
I'm personally very impressed with this new feature because it shows
72
that LifeXP is a unique and comprehensive platform for language learners
73
that combines personalized ai with real human interaction
74
which makes language learning a lot more fun
75
and effective you can create your own personalized path on LifeXP
76
and start learning with a teacher by using the link in my bio.
77
And only with my promo code veronicaenglish you'll be able to book a 30 -minute trial lesson for only 99 cents.
78
And then subscribe to LifeXP with a 30 % discount with my code veronicaenglish30.
79
So just save these two codes veronicaenglish and veronicaenglish30 and give LifeXP a try.
80
Now let's move on to the next habit which I decided to call your daily challenge.
81
And you can spend around 10 minutes doing
82
it this is a fun activity to stay motivated to learn the language
83
because sometimes we lose motivation sometimes we feel tired exhausted
84
and we kind of need this boost you know to keep going
85
so this habit is a little bit tongue -in -cheek here
86
are a few examples learning five new idioms using a specific
87
tense throughout the day describing your day in the target language before bed learning about a cultural aspect.
88
It can be anything but if you manage to create a challenge
89
that is fun and also quick
90
and also you know researching all the things in your target language
91
if your level allows for that you will have so much fun
92
and you will not even notice how the time flies by.
93
Oh my god the squirrels are literally here.
94
This is crazy
95
and there's a second one here hello no don't touch my camera okay a few days ago
96
i decided to do this challenge in spanish
97
and i researched the concept of chancla in mexico
98
so the word chancla means a sandal right
99
and you might be wondering why why you're so interested in sandals veronica
100
and my answer is in a lot of mexican households especially
101
in the past mothers would like hold up a sandal
102
if they wanted the kids to listen to them they could even like throw the sandal
103
and be like I told you you know you gotta listen to me
104
or something like that I got interested in this concept of chancla
105
because a lot of my Mexican friends always joke about it you know obviously their mothers always joke about it
106
and I was like this is so interesting
107
and I spent like a few minutes researching this concept learning more about it like where it came from
108
and I did everything in Spanish of course I learned a lot of new words.
109
I had a lot of fun.
110
I asked CHGPT to explain it to me, to have a little conversation and this way practicing all the habits I shared with you before.
111
The next simple habit you can implement is following people on social media.
112
I know that many people usually waste time on social media
113
but if you follow influencers who speak your target language you will learn a lot of things.
114
Just set a 10 -minute timer for yourself
115
and every single day check their new posts
116
you will be exposed to informal language you will learn a lot of cultural things
117
and you will also learn what things are popular right now in this specific country like maybe trends
118
or songs so i highly recommend it it was actually something
119
that i did with english when i was a teenager
120
and i was in high school
121
because i really wanted to you know maybe like make an english -speaking friend
122
but i was very shy
123
so i decided to just follow a bunch of influencers on instagram
124
and you know watch their stories their reels and their posts
125
and see what language they're using and this way i learned a lot of slang
126
and finally habit number five is immersion walks you can make them as long as you want to
127
but i would say starting from 20 minutes is pretty good this habit will be especially amazing for busy people
128
when i work a lot and i don't go outside my house i feel very tired
129
and then at one moment i decide to take a break go for a walk
130
and listen to something in a foreign language i usually listen to podcasts
131
and audiobooks and a lot of different topics and i learn
132
so many things while also walking
133
so like doing something good for my body instead of sitting in front of my computer all day
134
so this habit combines physical activity with learning and for a lot of people this really helps with memory retention.
135
Learning something while exercising becomes a lot more effective and a lot more fun.
136
I think it's going to be it for this video.
137
If you liked it, don't forget to give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my YouTube channel.
138
And let me know in the comments which habit you're most excited to start implementing.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
