There are too many words in English.

I forget them all.

I just go blank when I want to speak.

It's true, there are a lot of words in English,

but you don't need to learn them all.

Number one, prioritize.

Just learn the words you need at your level.

and number two, learn them properly.

Don't learn thousands of words badly and then you just go blank because you can't speak and use them.

Learn the words you need deeply.

And there are just three things you need to learn words deeply.

Let me tell you.

Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy.

Oh, and the YouTube channel English Speaking Success,

here to help you become a more confident speaker of English.

Now, the three things you need to learn vocabulary deeply are,

first, understand the word.

Secondly, know how to use it.

Thirdly, be able to use it.

And with those three things,

you'll be able to learn vocabulary deeply.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to do that with some very clear and fun examples.

But first of all, let's rewind.

Let's just stand back a moment, thinking about learning vocabulary.

There are two big opportunities to learn vocabulary.

First of all, when you're reading.

Great book, by the way.

And secondly, when you're listening.

So make sure you're doing plenty of both, right?

And also, when you're doing these,

make sure that you're noting down new words.

Noting, writing down, jotting down new words as you're learning, right?

It should be key vocabulary.

What do I mean by key vocabulary?

So words that are either interesting or useful.

Don't try and learn all of the words, right?

Remember what we said, learn fewer words more deeply.

So pick out the interesting words and the useful words.

Now, let's come back to the three things you need to learn vocabulary deeply.

Understand a word, knowing how to use it,

being able to use it.

Let's take these step by step, okay?

I'm going to show you with a story.

Let me tell you a story.

It's the beginning of a story about two people,

Tom and Emily, and this is called Watchful Eyes.

It's actually a mini novel from my gold course that we use to review language.

I'm going to introduce you.

Well, let me tell you the beginning of the story first,

and then we'll use this for some examples. Are you sitting comfortably?

Then I'll begin.

Tom and Emily had been friends since they were children.

Growing up in the small town of Glossop in the north of England,

they had spent countless days exploring the nearby woods,

riding bikes down the winding roads and imagining all the adventures they would one day have.

At the age of 21 their friendship blossomed into something more and they started going out together.

Tom was always there for Emily through the ups

and downs of life and she she knew she could always count on him.

Let me stop there the story goes on you can find out more in the gold course

but let's have a look now first of all,

at understanding a word, the first step.

OK.

So when it comes to understanding a word from a story or a podcast,

I always say first, guess it, then check it.

Guess it first.

Try and guess the meaning from the context.

and then check it if you're not sure or to make sure.

Guess it, check it.

Let's look at an example here.

In the story, we had Tom and Emily growing up in Glossop.

Glossop, right?

Capital G.

It's a place name.

It's the name of the town.

They had spent countless days exploring the nearby woods.

countless.

What does that mean?

Well, if we look at countless,

we can separate count and less.

We can analyse the word to count.

One, two, three, four, five.

Less meaning, well, without or not.

So without counting, what can that mean?

I'm not sure.

Let's check in a dictionary.

So I'm using the Cambridge Dictionary online.

Countless adjective says very many or too many to be counted.

So it means a lot, right?

A lot of days.

They spent a lot of days exploring the woods.

Great.

When you're looking up a word,

do be careful because sometimes words have many different meanings.

So make sure you scroll down to check.

For example, the word woods,

exploring the nearby Why woods?

It sounds like a place, right?

Wood, I know wood as in the wood that you burn for a fire.

But woods here, I'm not too sure.

100

If we check in the dictionary, we find, okay, wood.

101

So it's a hard substance that forms the branches of trees.

102

Right, that's what I thought.

103

Oh, going down, it can also be a type of golf club.

104

Interesting.

105

or, aha, an area of land covered with thick growth of trees.

106

It's a place.

107

I think this is the meaning I'm looking for.

108

It also says in the plural woods.

109

So it's a forest, I guess, right?

110

That's the meaning I look.

111

So be careful to scroll down and check different meanings.

112

Now, moving on to step two,

113

knowing how to use that word let's say countless or woods.

114

We can see how to use it from the context,

115

first of all, right?

116

So countless days, a lot of days.

117

We can see we can use it with days.

118

I spent countless days doing something.

119

I spent countless days sleeping.

120

I spent countless days working.

121

I can see how to use it.

122

Woods, it says exploring the woods.

123

So I can explore woods.

124

Maybe there's other ways of using it.

125

So we can also check in the dictionary,

126

look at the examples that they give.

127

And very often that will help you.

128

For example, with wood, it says we went for a walk in the woods.

129

So I can say explore the woods,

130

go for a walk in the woods.

131

I'm beginning to see how to use it, right?

132

The next thing I suggest you do is to look and note the word form.

133

Is it a noun, a verb,

134

an adjective, an adverb, preposition?

135

What is it exactly, right?

136

Because if it's an adjective,

137

remember in English, adjectives go before the noun.

138

Nouns in English, if they're plural,

139

They're followed by an S or ES.

140

So here, countless is an adjective.

141

And it goes before the noun.

142

Days, countless days.

143

Woods here is in the plural, is also a noun.

144

If it's a noun, is it countable or uncountable?

145

It's a key question to make sure you use it correctly.

146

Woods here, it says, is countable.

147

An oak wood.

148

We went for a walk in the woods,

149

a big wood, a small wood.

150

So you can count woods.

151

However, I noticed earlier when it talked about wood,

152

like burning, it can be uncountable as well.

153

So just be careful.

154

It's a key question.

155

If it's a verb, is it followed by a preposition?

156

Right?

157

In, on, at, away, over.

158

Right.

159

Look at.

160

Listen to.

161

Speak about.

162

So what is the preposition?

163

Again, make a note.

164

If we look at the story, let's come back.

165

It says at the age of 21,

166

their friendship blossomed into something more.

167

Blossom.

168

Well, I know that's something to do with flowers,

169

but I can see ed.

170

So it's probably a verb in the past to blossom.

171

I can check in the dictionary,

172

but what I can see is also into, blossom into, right?

173

So, and I look at the examples in the dictionary,

174

their friendship blossomed into, or she blossomed into a lovely person.

175

So it's to become like a flower,

176

to become and grow into something attractive.

177

So check with verbs, if they're followed by a preposition, and which one.

178

The other thing to do is notice the words before and after.

179

And these are the collocations.

180

Collocations are critical when learning vocabulary.

181

So don't just learn blossom to blossom.

182

You want to look at the word before,

183

the words that can go before.

184

A friendship blossomed.

185

A person blossomed into something.

186

So when you're learning this,

187

you're learning she blossomed into,

188

he blossomed into a beautiful person.

189

You're not just learning blossom, learn the collocation.

190

Finally, look for idiomatic expressions.

191

So often when you're looking at a chunk of language and you're not sure if it means what it says,

192

it could be idiomatic.

193

In our story, we had,

194

at the age of 21,

195

their friendship blossomed into something more,

196

and they started going out together.

197

Tom was always there for Emily through the ups and downs of life.

198

Up and down of life.

199

What it actually means is the difficult moments.

200

So this is idiomatic.

201

it's not an idiom as such like to be tickled pink

202

right to be happy it's just an idiomatic phrase the ups

203

and downs of life the idiomatic phrase is ups

204

and downs you can check it in the dictionary we have the ups

205

and downs of working life the ups and downs of marriage again the dictionary gives us those examples.

206

Brilliant.

207

So now we've understood the word and we can see how to use it.

208

Next step is actually being able to use it.

209

Right.

210

The final step, of course,

211

is being able to use the word.

212

So here, what I suggest you do is you just repeat the examples in the text you're reading or listening to.

213

So, for example, they had spent countless days exploring.

214

Just say it out loud.

215

If you're listening, stop and just repeat.

216

Their friendship blossomed into something more,

217

through the ups and downs of life.

218

A great technique actually is if you're listening or not reading,

219

but listening, is to shadow.

220

So play it and you repeat it almost at the same time,

221

just a second behind.

222

I do this, I'm doing it more and more with French

223

and it's really good for intonation and pronunciation as well as vocabulary.

224

You can also repeat the examples from the dictionary, say them out loud.

225

The next step is to start making your own examples.

226

Just change one word or the tense.

227

For example, they had spent countless days exploring.

228

They spent countless days exploring.

229

I spent countless days exploring.

230

When we visited Barcelona, we spent countless days exploring the city.

231

I spend countless days working at home.

232

I spend countless days studying French.

233

I spend countless hours studying French.

234

And just change one word or two words until you're becoming more confident, right?

235

And also, the next step is to try and use these in a conversation.

236

So a quick tip, I would just write down two

237

or three words on a piece of paper and then try and use them.

238

You can even tell your speaking partner,

239

I'm trying to practice these, can we practice together?

240

Let them know.

241

And it's a great way to do that.

242

All of this takes time and you will make mistakes.

243

Now, if you've got a teacher,

244

they can give you feedback.

245

If not, you also get feedback when you listen and read more.

246

Because as you look and listen to more language,

247

you'll just notice these words in different contexts.

248

And your understanding, being able to use them grows over time.

249

It's a marathon. Be patient.

250

It does take time and you will make mistakes.

251

But that is normal.

252

It's learning.

253

It's great.

254

Now, a final piece of advice.

255

As you're discovering the language,

256

understanding the meaning, understanding how to use it,

257

and you're practicing, I suggest you also do lots of reviewing.

258

Okay, review the language as well.

259

And this system of discovering,

260

practicing and reviewing is a great way for learning vocabulary,

261

but for just improving your general English overall, right?

262

It's a system that is at the heart of my online courses,

263

especially my gold course, where people discover language,

264

they practice it, and they're reviewing it all the time.

265

The story today, Watchful Eyes,

266

is one of the stories that we use to review the language in the Gold Course.

267

I won't tell you what happens to Tom and Emily.

268

It's a long, long novel.

269

It goes on and on.

270

You can join the course and find out.

271

You can find out more details.

272

There's a link below or go to my website, keithspeakingacademy.com.

273

That's it for today.

274

Just remember what I said at the beginning of the video.

275

learn fewer words, but learn them more deeply so you can use them,

276

not forget them, not go blank,

277

and you'll be a more confident speaker of English.

278

Great.

279

Listen, thank you so much for watching.

280

I hope this has helped you,

281

and I look forward to seeing you in the next video.

282

Take care, my friend.

283

Bye-bye.

284

you
