3
Or if you guys are new here, then welcome to my channel.
4
In this video, we are going to talk about 5 daily habits which can improve your English very much.
5
You will get a significant difference.
6
I mean, think about two students.
7
Just imagine.
8
They are going to the same batch of English.
9
And after 6 months, we get one student talking about them.
10
And without stopping.
11
The other one is the same struggle.
12
Sometimes they are stopping.
13
Sometimes they are stopping.
14
But the coaching was the same.
15
The teacher was the same.
16
But the difference was the same.
17
Let me tell you the difference.
18
What was their daily habits?
19
Not in class, not in class.
20
What you do in class, you get the actual difference.
21
So, today I'm going to give you those 5 habits.
22
These are the 5 habits that you can compound with time.
23
All of those things, those habits, which you get the difference in which you get the difference.
24
Significant difference.
25
Habit number 1.
26
You will give your environment.
27
So, you will feel that we can change in our environment.
28
How can we change in English?
29
I will tell you.
30
You will need to shift your daily environment to English.
31
How do you do that?
32
You don't need to stay in English all day.
33
You just need to do one thing daily.
34
For example, you listen to a song in English, you watch a real English, and you try to try a news in Hindi.
35
So, it seems so small that people don't take seriously.
36
But let me tell you something, your brain is exposed to your daily daily.
37
Who is exposed?
38
English, new words, new sentence patterns, new pronunciation, new sentence structure.
39
And then what happens?
40
The way you get exposed to your brain, your brain starts to register without any extra effort.
41
When you listen or read more, it will go into your brain.
42
People think that you need to change everything to make a habit, you need to have to change the whole day, which is actually true.
43
I say that you have to immerse yourself in your language.
44
But you don't have to do that, you are putting effort in your brain.
45
It is effortless.
46
So, what do you think is that you have to put a full effort in two days?
47
And with my students, you join my classes and then leave them in one week.
48
But what do you have to do now?
49
Little change that can sustain.
50
You will work more than one day.
51
So what you are going to do?
52
One or two things on a daily basis in English.
53
Habit number two.
54
Read out loud daily.
55
Just so much.
56
And I'll tell you honestly, this is the one that people skip the most.
57
They think that we have to study.
58
No. Say it daily.
59
Say it daily.
60
If someone is listening or not, You get only input from reading and listening.
61
You get the input from listening and reading.
62
But now, you convert it in the output.
63
How will that happen?
64
Until you don't speak yourself, it will not be set in the actual pattern.
65
Because you have to get it on your tongue.
66
The problem is, reading and listening will only go into your brain.
67
All information will be in your brain.
68
But for speaking, it has to be on your tongue.
69
What should it be in the real conversation.
70
In the day, only 15-20 minutes.
71
That's it.
72
I'm not asking a lot.
73
How do you get it on your tongue?
74
5 minutes in the morning, 5 minutes in the morning, 5 minutes in the morning, 10 minutes in the morning.
75
What do you do?
76
Describe your day.
77
Like you are waking up in the morning, tell me what I'm going to eat today.
78
For example, I will eat a sandwich.
79
Before you sleep, explain something.
80
Think about what you did in the whole day.
81
First I woke up, then I had my breakfast, then I took a shower, then I went to my office.
82
So what's the biggest problem here?
83
I know what's coming.
84
You will think, okay, we will do this, but what do I say alone?
85
No one is listening, no one is correcting, no one is practicing.
86
So, I want to share an exciting update with you.
87
To address this problem, I am going to launch a new one.
88
If you join this, trust me, you will get a significant difference.
89
If you get someone who will practice, you will speak.
90
So, for early access, join a waitlist.
91
For discount, waitlist.
92
The link is in the description box down below.
93
So join right now, you will go to a community where you will be like many students who will practice you, who will correct you.
94
There are many things, I can't open all of you now.
95
But trust me, join the waitlist today to get that proper discount and I will see you guys there.
96
But, whatever you get before launching this, mirror, phone, friend, just to speak to you.
97
This habit is the most important thing in these 5.
98
People think that you need a right partner to speak, or if it doesn't mean practice.
99
You are thinking wrong.
100
Trust me.
101
You are wrong to speak at all.
102
You will get the same practice that you will never get to keep you safe.
103
So, you can get the partner in the future.
104
So, let's start with you.
105
Habit number 3.
106
Read something daily.
107
You have to read something daily in English.
108
You have to read the whole book.
109
You have to read only 10 minutes.
110
I'm not saying that you have to read the whole novel.
111
10 minutes, 15 minutes.
112
A small story, novel, novel, article, some Instagram captions, which are in English.
113
If you feel comfortable, you have to read it in English.
114
What is it for reading?
115
You get two things that you don't get to listen.
116
First of all, the sense of the right spelling.
117
Many students write in comments that we have spelling mistakes.
118
Another thing you will get is to see new words and their natural context not just a list of 10 new words, no. One word in different contexts.
119
And when you read one word in different contexts, you use that word in different contexts.
120
Because when you study daily, your brain is exposed to that word.
121
And not only one word, it's just many words.
122
So people think that reading means heavy, boring things, newspaper, editorial, although I always recommend it, but I don't do it.
123
People don't start it, because they think that we don't study anything.
124
Anything will happen.
125
That's it.
126
You should learn genuinely what you want to do in English.
127
That's it.
128
Novel, small story, novel, anything.
129
Just go ahead with that.
130
All you have to do is read.
131
Habit number 4.
132
You have to upgrade a word daily.
133
You have to take a basic word.
134
And replace that word with better word.
135
You have to use English as a student.
136
Like a student of 1st year or 2nd class.
137
For example, what would you say in a normal class?
138
Very good.
139
You replace it with a big word.
140
What can you say?
141
Very good.
142
Excellent.
143
Or you can say impressive.
144
What can you say in the very bad?
145
Terrible or awful.
146
What can you say in the very tired?
147
Exhausted.
148
If you have one word, two words.
149
That's it.
150
How many will you do in your month?
151
Approximately 30 to 60 new words.
152
Which you can actually use because they have practiced yourself.
153
You are using your daily words.
154
You don't have to be able to use random lists.
155
You practice yourself.
156
What do you do with each other?
157
Which is a big mistake.
158
What do you do with those 50 new words?
159
Stop it.
160
You will forget everything in one week.
161
You will remember your 30 words.
162
Obviously, if you don't practice these words, And this is quite impossible that you practice these words on a daily basis.
163
You will forget that what you have to do is you have to do it gradually.
164
One word or two words per day.
165
And habit number five, the last one.
166
Before you go to two minutes, what does it mean?
167
Today, remember what you said, what you wrote in English.
168
One thing you think was wrong or awkward.
169
You think you used a lot of filler today.
170
Today, my word is not coming from the point.
171
Today, I have not spoken this phrase.
172
Anything.
173
Just one thing you should consider, create a diary Write that I have these goals and I haven't cleared them I will work tomorrow tomorrow
174
That's what you are going to do What will happen to this review?
175
You will know your common mistakes slowly That I have wronged here, I have wronged in this word
176
So after a week you will think that these are common mistakes And then when you realize it, you will improve them Again,
177
this is a huge fix We think that a mistake can only be a teacher or coach Let me tell you something, I never had a coach.
178
I was very late, I only had my father.
179
So, more mistakes everyone, trust me, you can recognize yourself.
180
All you have to do is to be immersed in that language.
181
Self-review is absolutely free, it is available and it is not useful for any coaching.

About This Lesson
Ready to transform your English speaking? In this lesson, we’ll explore 5 daily habits from the video that can make a huge difference in your fluency—no extra classes required! You’ll learn how small, consistent changes to your routine can help your brain absorb new words, sentence structures, and pronunciation effortlessly. Whether you’re a beginner or stuck in a plateau, these habits will help you speak more confidently. Plus, we’ll practice shadowing techniques to mimic the video’s tone and speed, so you can start applying what you learn right away. Let’s dive in!
Key Vocabulary & Phrases
- Compound with time: To grow or improve gradually through consistent effort (e.g., "These habits will compound with time, making your English stronger.")
- Immerse yourself: To surround yourself with a language (e.g., "Immerse yourself in English by listening to songs or news.")
- Register (in the brain): To be absorbed or remembered without effort (e.g., "New words will register in your brain as you listen more.")
- Sustain: To keep doing something over time (e.g., "Choose small changes you can sustain daily.")
- Significant difference: A big, noticeable change (e.g., "After 6 months, you’ll see a significant difference in your speaking.")
Practice Tips
One of the best ways to improve your speaking is through shadowing—repeating what you hear immediately after the speaker. Here’s how to practice with this video: First, watch a 10-second clip and pause. Then, repeat the words out loud, matching the speed and tone of the speaker. Don’t worry about mistakes—focus on mimicking the rhythm and pronunciation. The video’s warm, conversational tone is perfect for beginners, so take it slow at first. For extra practice, use a shadowing app to record yourself and compare it to the original. Over time, you’ll notice your pronunciation and fluency improving. Remember, learning English with videos and shadow speech isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistent effort. Even 5 minutes a day of shadowing will help you build the habit and see results. You’ve got this!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | If you get someone who will practice |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | is exposed · will not be set · is read |
| Relative clauses who / which + clause — extra information about a person or thing | habits which can · day, which is · someone who will |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | have practiced · have not spoken · haven't cleared |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
