1
There are too many words in English.
2
I forget them all.
3
I just go blank when I want to speak.
4
It's true, there are a lot of words in English,
5
but you don't need to learn them all.
6
Number one, prioritize.
7
Just learn the words you need at your level.
8
and number two, learn them properly.
9
Don't learn thousands of words badly and then you just go blank because you can't speak and use them.
10
Learn the words you need deeply.
11
And there are just three things you need to learn words deeply.
12
Let me tell you.
13
Hello, it's Keith from the Keith Speaking Academy.
14
Oh, and the YouTube channel English Speaking Success,
15
here to help you become a more confident speaker of English.
16
Now, the three things you need to learn vocabulary deeply are,
17
first, understand the word.
18
Secondly, know how to use it.
19
Thirdly, be able to use it.
20
And with those three things,
21
you'll be able to learn vocabulary deeply.
22
In this video, I'm going to show you how to do that with some very clear and fun examples.
23
But first of all, let's rewind.
24
Let's just stand back a moment, thinking about learning vocabulary.
25
There are two big opportunities to learn vocabulary.
26
First of all, when you're reading.
27
Great book, by the way.
28
And secondly, when you're listening.
29
So make sure you're doing plenty of both, right?
30
And also, when you're doing these,
31
make sure that you're noting down new words.
32
Noting, writing down, jotting down new words as you're learning, right?
33
It should be key vocabulary.
34
What do I mean by key vocabulary?
35
So words that are either interesting or useful.
36
Don't try and learn all of the words, right?
37
Remember what we said, learn fewer words more deeply.
38
So pick out the interesting words and the useful words.
39
Now, let's come back to the three things you need to learn vocabulary deeply.
40
Understand a word, knowing how to use it,
41
being able to use it.
42
Let's take these step by step, okay?
43
I'm going to show you with a story.
44
Let me tell you a story.
45
It's the beginning of a story about two people,
46
Tom and Emily, and this is called Watchful Eyes.
47
It's actually a mini novel from my gold course that we use to review language.
48
I'm going to introduce you.
49
Well, let me tell you the beginning of the story first,
50
and then we'll use this for some examples. Are you sitting comfortably?
51
Then I'll begin.
52
Tom and Emily had been friends since they were children.
53
Growing up in the small town of Glossop in the north of England,
54
they had spent countless days exploring the nearby woods,
55
riding bikes down the winding roads and imagining all the adventures they would one day have.
56
At the age of 21 their friendship blossomed into something more and they started going out together.
57
Tom was always there for Emily through the ups
58
and downs of life and she she knew she could always count on him.
59
Let me stop there the story goes on you can find out more in the gold course
60
but let's have a look now first of all,
61
at understanding a word, the first step.
62
OK.
63
So when it comes to understanding a word from a story or a podcast,
64
I always say first, guess it, then check it.
65
Guess it first.
66
Try and guess the meaning from the context.
67
and then check it if you're not sure or to make sure.
68
Guess it, check it.
69
Let's look at an example here.
70
In the story, we had Tom and Emily growing up in Glossop.
71
Glossop, right?
72
Capital G.
73
It's a place name.
74
It's the name of the town.
75
They had spent countless days exploring the nearby woods.
76
countless.
77
What does that mean?
78
Well, if we look at countless,
79
we can separate count and less.
80
We can analyse the word to count.
81
One, two, three, four, five.
82
Less meaning, well, without or not.
83
So without counting, what can that mean?
84
I'm not sure.
85
Let's check in a dictionary.
86
So I'm using the Cambridge Dictionary online.
87
Countless adjective says very many or too many to be counted.
88
So it means a lot, right?
89
A lot of days.
90
They spent a lot of days exploring the woods.
91
Great.
92
When you're looking up a word,
93
do be careful because sometimes words have many different meanings.
94
So make sure you scroll down to check.
95
For example, the word woods,
96
exploring the nearby Why woods?
97
It sounds like a place, right?
98
Wood, I know wood as in the wood that you burn for a fire.
99
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

Tại sao nên luyện nói qua video này?

Luyện nói tiếng Anh qua video không chỉ giúp bạn nâng cao khả năng phát âm mà còn giúp bạn tiếp thu từ vựng một cách tự nhiên hơn. Video này cung cấp cho người học ba điều quan trọng để ghi nhớ từ vựng một cách sâu sắc, giúp bạn trở thành một người nói tiếng Anh tự tin hơn. Khi bạn nghe và thực hành nói theo những câu ví dụ trong video, bạn có thể cải thiện kỹ năng nói của mình, đặc biệt là khi áp dụng các kỹ thuật như shadowing tiếng anh. Việc này cho phép bạn bắt chước ngữ điệu và cách phát âm của người bản ngữ, từ đó giúp cải thiện khả năng giao tiếp của bạn.

Ngữ pháp & Biểu thức trong ngữ cảnh

Trong video, người nói đã sử dụng một số cấu trúc ngữ pháp quan trọng, điều này không chỉ giúp bạn hiểu rõ hơn về cách diễn đạt mà còn tạo cơ hội cho bạn thực hành:

  • “Learn the words you need deeply”: Câu này nhấn mạnh việc học các từ vựng một cách sâu sắc, giúp người học hiểu rõ hơn về ý nghĩa và cách sử dụng từ.
  • “Understand the word”: Câu này là một lời nhắc nhở rằng để ghi nhớ từ, bạn cần hiểu rõ nghĩa của từ đó.
  • “Be able to use it”: Việc này nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng của việc thực hành sử dụng từ vựng trong những tình huống thực tế.

Bằng cách nắm vững những cấu trúc này, bạn có thể tạo ra nhiều câu hơn trong giao tiếp hàng ngày của mình.

Các bẫy phát âm thường gặp

Khi luyện nghe nói qua video, đặc biệt là các video tiếng Anh, bạn có thể gặp một số từ hoặc âm khó phát âm. Dưới đây là một số lưu ý để tránh mắc lỗi phát âm:

  • “Vocabulary”: Từ này thường được phát âm sai do sự kết hợp âm và nhấn âm.
  • “Understand”: Nhiều người học có xu hướng bỏ qua âm giữa, dẫn đến phát âm không chính xác.
  • “Confident”: Chú ý đến âm cuối và nhấn âm để tránh phát âm sai.

Việc áp dụng phần mềm shadowing hay shadow speak sẽ giúp bạn luyện tập và cải thiện phát âm qua việc nghe và nói theo những gì người chịu trách nhiệm trong video đã nói.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
