Let's talk tools and words.

I'm going to teach you today why you have a problem and it bothers you, but probably no one has talked about it.

I'm going to change that.

And what that problem is, is that you read words, you write words, you study really, really hard, but the moment an English person says these words or says some of the words or you hear them, they seem to, like, disappear, like, you know, rain from the sky just disappears.

Gone. Gone.

Why is that?

Well, this lesson I'm going to teach you why that happens, and I'm going to show you how to change it so it doesn't happen to you.

All right? And it has to do with tools.

Using the tools, which are your words, using them properly so that you can get the best results and they become useful.

All right, so let's go to the board.

I have four words here, see?

Words are tools, and they are.

Words are tools of communication.

But a word by itself is meaningless; it means nothing.

I'll give you an example.

"Meal". The word "meal", it's food, right?

When you put food together.

But when I say the word "meal" to you, you're like, okay, "meal", it's a breakfast, lunch, dinner, what's it mean?

Well, what happens if I changed it and I took that same word "meal" and I surrounded it, I used my tools, other words to help give it greater meaning?

And if I said, "The meal you made last night was spectacular", all of a sudden my brain is exploding, I'm imagining wine, I'm imagining a nice piece of steak or chicken or what have you, right?

With some rice or whatever, and it's just, oh, hmm, what was it?

I'm curious, I'm drawn in, so I've taken this one word "meal" and elevated it.

But if you notice what I did, I didn't just say "meal", I had to do a couple of things.

Well, three things.

And that's what this lesson is about.

The first thing we want to start with is words, vocabulary.

You have a vocabulary word.

And I'm going to start with the word "responsible", and we're going to work through with the word "responsible" until we can find a way that we can remember this word no matter what, okay?

So, let's start with the word "responsible".

Do you know what it means?

Okay, so, "responsible" means to trust in someone to do something, or if you're not thinking of that, it's the reason why something happened.

This is responsible, and that's why this happened, okay?

You know, a person responsible - sorry, a machine is responsible for breaking down so these problems happened or what have you, and "trust", he's responsible, I trust him or her, he or she, to do the job.

Yeah? Okay, so, that's what it means.

It's also an adjective, yeah?

You can have "responsibility" which is a noun, but we're just sticking with the word "responsible", so I need to know it's an adjective, how does it work, I need to know what it means - to trust or the cause of something.

Now, that I've got that, it's great, but it's not going to stick in my head.

It's going to fall when I hear people say it or when I try to speak it, because it's not anchored.

It doesn't have anything, as we have here, a nail with hammer, nailing it so I can remember it, I can bring it back.

So, how do we change that?

Well, we can change it into a phrase.

For those of you who don't know what a phrase is, it's when you have a sentence fragment, that means a part of a sentence, that can have either a verb or a noun, but not both.

Okay? So, in this case, I'm going to choose "responsible for".

Now, I've taken the word "responsible" from being something I trust or the cause, and I've given it a bit more of a meaning.

It's like adding a little bit of salt and pepper to your meal, give it some flavour.

It brightens the taste or brings out more of the taste, yeah?

And we're doing it by doing this.

When you're responsible for something, you are the one that has to do it.

Remember? Cause and you trust them to do it.

What instances could we think of "responsible for" that we have this new meaning?

Well, if you're at work, you could be responsible for the advertising.

It means it's your job.

So, "responsible for" becomes it's your job or someone's job.

That has a lot more meaning because in the real world, I can think of things that are my job that I have to do.

You're responsible for the children, feeding, cleaning, helping them with their homework.

You're responsible for taking out the garbage, emptying it, putting outside, bringing more in.

Now, this word "responsible" isn't just this word floating around in space.

You have hammered it down, right?

We have made it useful.

We've leveled the situation.

Don't ask me these tools.

I am not handy.

I'll do a video on what "handy" is, you'll laugh because I am not handy.

Okay, so we've gone from word and we've moved to phrase.

Now, I didn't do these in order because I wanted you to pay attention.

I know you, you'd read and go "1, 2, 3, 4, I know all, I don't listen." No, listen.

So, we went from word to phrase, and you're probably going to go "Which one's next?" Well, we're going to take that thing and make it a little bit longer.

Responsible for gives me some idea.

Someone is responsible, something is responsible for something, but it's still not the full meal we were talking about.

Remember food?

I need more, a little bit more.

And that's why I have to say "I am responsible for x", now I've created a sentence.

And with that sentence, I've really crafted or created meaning.

Now I can get into it and go "Well, what am I responsible for in my life?" I'm responsible for me.

I have to brush my teeth to keep them, right?

I have to take a shower and clean myself.

I have to get clothing, I have to eat, take care of myself.

Oh, can you think of something you're responsible for?

If you're a student, you're responsible for what?

Studying. Right?

It's easy. So, we take this phrase, sorry, we take this word, make it a phrase, we change it into a sentence, and the sentence has meaning.

And all of a sudden, we can think of situations.

I said you're a student, what are you doing?

You are studying.

So, what are you?

I'm in school.

I'm responsible for all the work that I have to do in school if I want to get a good grade.

There you go.

You just mastered this word, and you have a situation in which you can use it.

And then, once you get there, you go what does that mean?

To take care of.

I am responsible for certain jobs at my house in order to make sure the house is clean and tidy.

Yes. Washing the dishes, taking the trash out, doing the laundry.

Who is responsible for that in your life?

This is real world.

Real world application.

Application means to use.

And this is what we have to do with our words in order to make them useful.

100

That's why they become tools, because they create our worlds and we create our life.

101

When we don't do that, it's just a list of things.

102

And I don't know about you, but it's hard for me to remember a list of things.

103

When I go to the grocery store, if I have a list, I have to write it down.

104

And that brings us right back to where you started this.

105

With all your hard studying, you're writing and reading, but not speaking.

106

But we brought it from being passive on the page to life, right?

107

Making it with action by creating sentences, yeah, and creating situations which we could use them.

108

So, I've given you a lot of information, or at least given you the understanding of why it happens, right?

109

And I promised you that I would show you how we could fix that.

110

So, I did show you partially here how to fix that, just by going through that explanation.

111

But I'm going to give you three other little tricks, well, two really, plus one I just showed you, that will help you learn to do this faster, all right?

112

So the first thing I'm going to ask you to do is, number one, stop, stop, stop, stop.

113

Stop the madness.

114

I have so many students, and I don't know how many times I tell them, when you are writing out the word, like, I started here by saying, write out the word, its meaning, and its grammar function, right, its adjective, adverb, what have you.

115

They will immediately write it down, and then write down the translation in their language.

116

Stop doing that.

117

You're only making it harder on your brain, because now your brain has to actually translate the word.

118

Just learn the word and the meaning in English.

119

I know, and I admit, at the very beginning, this is going to be really, really hard, especially if you don't have a lot of vocabulary, right?

120

But then you do it in the simplest words you can use.

121

But after a while, as your vocabulary builds up, you will have words that you can use that you understand to translate new words.

122

By translate, I mean take a word you don't know in English, and then find words in English to help you understand.

123

So stop the madness, stop translating, because, well, it's easy, yeah, but that's why you don't remember it, because you have to do two steps, yeah?

124

You have to think of the word, translate it in your head, and bring it back to English to speak.

125

That's a lot of words.

126

A lot of work and a lot of words, but if you just know the word, it's easier, okay?

127

Number two, give it meaning.

128

How do we give the word meaning?

129

Ta-da. I told you, I already taught you how to do that.

130

Take the word, think of the phrase it could go with, common phrases, and you're on the internet, so it's not that difficult to tab in "phrase of", and they will give you definitions or examples.

131

And from those examples, you can actually fill in sentences that fit you, fit your lifestyle.

132

After we get the phrase, you create sentences, yeah?

133

And then from there, think of the situations.

134

That gives it meaning.

135

Without having sentences and situations, or especially situations, it doesn't mean anything to your brain.

136

It's useless.

137

That's why you can't use it when you need it in an active way.

138

Your brain has to go, "Ah, okay, we're in the right place." For instance, if it's raining, I have an umbrella.

139

It makes sense.

140

But if I have this thing and I just walk with it all the time, I don't know what it's for.

141

Probably not going to use it, even if it's raining, because I've never used it before.

142

You know? But if I can practice, "Ah, rain, umbrella, umbrella, rain", it becomes automatic.

143

It almost happens without me trying, and that's what we want, right?

144

Like a native speaker.

145

The third thing I want to tell you is this, after you translate only in English, of course, you give it meaning through the method I've just taught you, right?

146

Word, phrase, sentence, situation.

147

"24xxx", well, what does that mean?

148

Within the next 24 hours, try to find a situation to use it.

149

Remember what I said, if your brain thinks it's a tool that can be used and you demonstrate it, your brain will remember it, because it's like, "Oh, we just used it here, here, and here.

150

This must be an important word." And if it's an important word, we're going to file it, that means put it away somewhere that we can get it when we need it, because we've already used it three times.

151

Who knows when we're going to use it again?

152

Like an umbrella.

153

Honestly, I carry one in my bag, because in Canada, spring and fall, it rains.

154

And the summer, so you just never know when you're going to use it.

155

90% of the time, it stays in my bag, but when I need it, it's always there.

156

And if you practice vocabulary the way I've shown you, remember that thing I talked about at the beginning, that fear?

157

You talk and the words just disappear?

158

You won't have that.

159

That won't be your problem, because you will learn vocabulary, you will master the vocabulary, and you'll feel more confident.

160

That's a secret I didn't put.

161

When you're confident, you relax, you get more access here, and those words will just flow.

162

Anyway, a lesson without a test is not a lesson.

163

Here's what I want you to do.

164

I want you to take a word that you currently know, you know, maybe you've written it down, go check some of your notes, a word that you haven't used, and I want you to follow the process.

165

Number one, translate it in English only.

166

Keep it simple, right?

167

No big, fancy words, keep it simple.

168

Then follow this four-step process.

169

Find out what is the word's grammar function, get its basic meaning.

170

Find a phrase.

171

We did "responsible for", right?

172

Okay? Or you could say "responsible to", right?

173

You could say "available for", whatever.

174

Find your word, your word, put it down, find its phrase.

175

After that, make a sentence out of it.

176

And here's a great way of doing it.

177

You can do a sentence that's a question, you can do a sentence that's for you, you can do a sentence with another noun or subject, yeah?

178

For example, I am responsible for me.

179

She is responsible for the work, yeah?

180

Are you responsible for filming?

181

There you go.

182

Now I've used it, I'm starting to master it.

183

Play with these sentences, and then go out in the real world.

184

Here's one.

185

Sit at a restaurant, go to the waiter.

186

Are you responsible for making the food or bringing the food?

187

He'll slap you.

188

But that's okay, you know, don't do that in that situation.

189

Problem solved.

190

Anyway, I want you to do this, follow this method, go into the comments, do three sentences with a word you don't know, as I said, find a phrase, write the sentences in the comments, let other people help you.

191

They can probably advise you, yeah?

192

Or even praise you, that's always good.

193

And it'll be a test for you.

194

But the final test is go into the real world, use it three times, three different places, see how it works.

195

You'll be amazed how quickly this is going to become your favourite method of vocabulary learning.

196

Anyway, thanks for watching.

197

Don't forget to go to www.EngVid.com, yeah?

198

Or watch us on YouTube.

199

See you.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
