Hey guys welcome to my channel I know you are struggling to learn new words in English or in any language I know how it feels when in a day you feel like dozens of new words they come into your brain And then they just get wiped away, and you never use them again. I've learned three foreign languages, and I know how it feels So today I'm going to talk about methods that are going to help you memorize the words and actually with these methods You can learn thousands of new words in a day, so if you're interested, please continue watching this video Method number one When you learn a new word Make sure that you've learned all of the forms of it for example There are some words in English that can be used both as a noun which is an object as a verb which is an action for example milk Yes Milk is a drink comes from a cow but to milk is actually a verb and it means to get milk out of a cow To milk seems obvious and you've already known the word milk but yeh There's another meaning so many words like that the most obvious ones are for example Love hope kiss dry work, and there are many many more, so you learned one word But you actually learned two words Number two there are words that end with deep i/o and for example ambition guess what in many languages especially across Europe and maybe South America they might sound Completely the same for example ambition Spanish ambition correct me if I'm wrong. I've never learned Spanish, but I'm trying for you guys I know there are a lot of Spanish speakers watching ambition in German I'm beat Sione in Italian basically these words are gonna sound pretty much the same other words that I can use motivation motivation motivation motivate seonil dissertation profession portion intonation Conventions sanction and many many many other words write down the list of them They're all gonna be the same so the trick is all the words that end with Tion in English I'm gonna sound pretty much the same in your language number three Oh my god is my favorite whenever you learn a new word google it first and go to the images section You know why cuz sometimes you're gonna see pictures that are gonna remind you of characters or things you've seen before And you've named before and they're just the same as the word that you're learning for example Spear which is a weapon hello Britney Spears has the same last name?
2
And I've actually used the word spear like thousands of times in my life because I love Britney Spears another word is Beetle and beetle is the small bug that can but youth applies Whatever a beetle and the first thing that comes to my mind and the Google will show you is New Beetle car by Volkswagen the car the small nice car you know that was this computer game when I was like 10 years old and You ran away from like police in Chicago So they always used Volkswagen New Beetle And yes hello I've been using this word for like hundreds of times in my life another great example is Gosling and Gosling is a baby goose and yes, Ryan Gosling hello, Ryan, baby. Goose you'll remember this forever Method number four what you need to remember is that words in English have several meanings And those meanings can be completely different So make sure you learn at least two or three of those meanings for example the word - fire - fire means to let somebody go for example an employee you're Fired at the same time the noun fire You know flames all of that if we talk about a word date so to date means to go out with a loved one or with the person you really fancy, then a date itself is a Date itself is an action when you go out with somebody you love date is also This fruit or berry whatever they sell a lot of them like a fig a date And there is another meaning a date can be a day in a calendar again You have like this word, but you actually have four different words Another example is to miss and to miss miss miss miss bus when you lost the bus it is gone when you miss somebody You really long to see them and miss is a girl so Miss marina McGill go for example number five one of the easiest ones Because there are so many words that sound pretty much the same in every single language and you don't even need to translate or adjust them or whatever you just Pronounce them in an American Way or pronounce them in a British way whatever you want to sound for example aquarium in Russians a caballo in terminates at washing and French I don't know, but you got what I mean other great examples are antidepressants avocado Caramel cocktails candle Oregon is and I can go on and on and that would be like hundreds of words sound Exactly the same as in many other languages, and that's a very important Recorder yes another very important rule when it comes to learning new words is having this safety net And this is the way I define 100 most commonly used words in the English language And if you know I have released a video about those 100 words if you know those 100 words you actually know 50% of all written English and those words include I me her female government and there are hundreds of those, please Watch the video if you haven't watched it yet and please write down all of those words And they're gonna be really useful for you because you're gonna feel safer You're gonna feel more relaxed when you have them because they just help you formula speech rule number seven Sometimes worse that we know and that might sound pretty easy Conform different expressions like for example nuts nuts are things that we eat But you can also say Are you nuts? Are you not this doesn't mean?
3
I use like this thing that you can eat This means have you gone crazy?
4
There are so many expressions like that in English so again when you're learning a new word make sure you know everything that is connected with it whether it has other forms whether yes are the meanings or maybe it is used in a completely different way in a Different expression and that's a great example. I feel blue. It doesn't mean that I feel like a blue color. It means I feel sad An expression that you should learn is I'm all ears which means I'm listening carefully Well, then I am all ears This is how we go to the next method when you really like a phrase or a word or anything Try to use it straight away for example if you are enjoying watching this video if you think that Things that I say make sense you can comment below marina I was all ears while I was watching your video or just marina I'm all ears which means for me that you liked the content, which means that you were listening attentively maybe writing things down So you're ready in common, but you are actually practicing and you making your brain train with this new word you making it memorize it even more and My last advice yes We've talked about a lot of words that sound the same in many languages, but there are also false friends I was really really embarrassed when I was using Eventually in German, there's the word sounds like event 2l And I thought it has the same meaning as in English so for example in English eventually Means in the end in German event 2l means perhaps, so it's just a completely different meaning And there is the same thing with the word actual so actual and English means current And there is a would act Oh al I'm sorry for my pronunciation Act to ila in Spanish and in Spanish it means real not current. Be aware of those false friends Just double-check anything you say But at least when you're learning when you're in the middle of a class make sure to double check it never never hurts all right These were the methods that would help you Accelerate in learning a language that will help you learn hundreds and thousands of new words a day, please Let me know if you like this video.

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.
