One of the biggest challenges you face is not knowing how to study English.
2
You don't know how to get from beginner to intermediate or intermediate to advanced.
3
You don't know how to study effectively and consistently.
4
If you're not studying effectively, no matter how hard you try, you will feel like you're not getting anywhere.
5
So if you're facing this problem, you're on the right video because I'm going to help you out today.
6
In this video, I'm going to give you a self -study guide that you can follow.
7
This will help you speak English fluently and improve other English skills as well.
8
So let's go.
9
First part, what to study and what resources to prepare.
10
So in English, we have four skills, listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
11
You need to study all of those skills.
12
And these are the resources that you can use.
13
Talk shows for listening, ChatGPT for speaking, Reading Explorer, or you can use my reading plan for reading,
14
and Great Writing and ChatGPT for writing.
15
I have listed all the resources in the description, so don't worry if you don't know where to find them.
16
Second part, how you need to study.
17
So in this part, you need to know two things, input and output.
18
You need to do both input and output to actually become better at English.
19
So input is you studying, gathering new information into your brain.
20
For example, learning new words, new sentences, new grammar rules, etc, etc. And output is putting out what you learned from your brain. For example,
21
speaking using the words you know or that you learned
22
or writing something using the new grammar rules and new vocabulary that you learned.
23
So listening and reading will be input and speaking and writing will be output.
24
Third part, how to study each skill effectively.
25
So we're going to use four days for four skills.
26
Let's start with input, listening and reading.
27
On Monday, spend 15 minutes to improve your listening skills.
28
Go to YouTube, choose a talk show that you like.
29
So these are some of the talk shows that you can choose.
30
You can watch a video or watch multiple videos for about 15 minutes.
31
Here, you don't really need to take notes of new words or new sentences.
32
It's up to you, but I don't think it's necessary.
33
On Tuesday, spend 15 minutes to improve your reading skills.
34
You can use the Reading Explorer book to study.
35
You can start from Unit 1, read the first lesson.
36
But if you want it to be more effective, you can also do the exercises.
37
So this way, you will do the input part successfully.
38
Your listening and reading skills will improve.
39
Then you need to do the output, speaking and writing.
40
On Wednesday, spend 15 minutes to improve your speaking skills.
41
Talk with ChatGPT about the reading that you did or the video that you watched.
42
So go to ChatGPT and type in this prompt.
43
And after that, you can start chatting with it.
44
The first thing you need to do is whatever video you're watching click the share button
45
and copy link and after that go to chat GPT
46
and paste the link I watched this video on YouTube I

48
ChatGPT will generate 10 questions for you about the video.
49
And then we will start talking with ChatGPT.
50
Let's start with question one.

52
Who is the person being interviewed in the video?
53
Anne Hathaway.
54
That's right.
55
It's Anne Hathaway.
56
And finally on Thursday, spend 20 minutes to improve your writing skills.
57
Use great writing book to study.
58
Here you can start from unit 1 as well.
59
Write something short, then use ChatGPT to check your grammar and your mistakes.
60
This way, you will improve your speaking and writing skills.
61
Alright, so this is a complete guide for anyone who wants to self -study English effectively.
62
You can follow the plan, it's free, start studying, and see your improvement in the next few months.
63
The most important thing here is to be consistent with your studies.
64
Learning English is not a one -time thing.
65
It takes a few months or a few years
66
so it takes time and consistency to actually become better
67
so be consistent and good luck with your studies thank you for learning and see you in the next one bye

Master English with a Proven Daily Routine: Insights from the Video

Many English learners struggle to progress because they lack a clear, effective study plan. The video addresses this by outlining a structured routine that balances input (listening, reading) and output (speaking, writing) to build fluency. Whether you’re a beginner or intermediate learner, this approach ensures consistent growth by targeting all four skills.

Top 5 Phrases for Daily Communication (From the Video)

  • "I want to talk about it with you" – Perfect for initiating conversations about a topic you’ve studied.
  • "Create 10 easy questions for CEFR B1 level student" – A practical prompt to tailor practice to your level.
  • "Spend 15 minutes to improve your [skill]" – Emphasizes short, focused sessions for better retention.
  • "Input and output are both necessary" – A key principle to remember for balanced learning.
  • "Do the exercises to make it more effective" – Highlights the value of active practice over passive learning.

Step-by-Step Shadowing Guide for the Video

Shadowing is a powerful technique to improve pronunciation and fluency. Here’s how to apply it to the video’s routine:

  1. Choose a 1-2 minute clip from the talk show segment (recommended for listening practice). Play it once to understand the context.
  2. Repeat after the speaker immediately, mimicking their tone, pace, and intonation. Pause and rewind if needed—focus on matching their "shadowspeaks" style.
  3. Record yourself and compare it to the original. Note differences in stress or rhythm, then practice again to refine your "shadow speak."
  4. Apply what you’ve learned to the speaking practice with ChatGPT. Use phrases from the video to discuss the talk show, reinforcing both input and output.

This method, combined with the video’s structured plan, makes english speaking practice accessible and effective. By integrating shadowing technique into your daily 15-minute sessions, you’ll build confidence and fluency faster than with passive learning alone. Learn english with videos and turn your study time into tangible progress—start today!

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.
