1
10 things I would do differently if I had to learn English all over again.
2
Number one, I would focus on pronunciation right from the beginning.
3
If you have a good pronunciation,
4
people will understand you and you will like what you hear when you speak,
5
so you will be inclined to do it more.
6
Number two, I would not focus on vocabulary words that I would never use.
7
I would probably pick like three topics that I like and then I would just focus on that.
8
Let's say it's travel, food, and work.
9
And I would only make an effort to learn phrases or words from those three topics at first.
10
Number three, I would not learn conversations from textbooks.
11
The textbook dialogues are so robotic.
12
They're like, this is John.
13
John is 30 years old.
14
John is from London.
15
No, no one talks like that.
16
Real speech is emotional, messy.
17
People use a lot of filler words.
18
It's just textbooks are just not realistic.
19
Just follow this rule.
20
If nobody would say this in real life, don't learn it.
21
Number four, I would make my house my speaking partner.
22
I know that sounds weird,
23
but basically I would make my house an English zone.
24
For example, when I'm inside my house,
25
everything that I do, everything that I see,
26
I will say that in English.
27
You open the fridge, you say,
28
I am opening the fridge.
29
You look at the milk,
30
you say, oh, the milk is expired.
31
So narrate everything you're doing.
32
Write your grocery list in English,
33
write your to-do list in English.
34
If If you're doing your makeup, narrate that.
35
Imagine you're a vlogger.
36
If you're cooking, explain what you're doing.
37
You'll be surprised how many words you don't know,
38
how many words you thought you knew.
39
So just refresh those constantly.
40
Number five, I believe.
41
I would listen to real people.
42
For example, somebody on YouTube is venting about a problem that they had with customer service, whatever.
43
Amazing.
44
Somebody is ranting about a friend on TikTok telling a crazy story.
45
Gold.
46
Because these are real people using real English,
47
real speech that you will hear every time you go outside.
48
Pay attention to the slang,
49
pay attention to the sarcasm,
50
pay attention to the jokes,
51
pay attention to facial expressions, gestures, everything.
52
The next thing I would do differently,
53
and I think this should have been on the first or second place,
54
but anyway, I would stop translating everything.
55
I would forget about my native language and I would focus on English.
56
It's a different language.
57
It's a foreign language.
58
It has nothing to do with my own language.
59
I would focus on understanding the idea behind that word
60
or the meaning behind that expression instead of finding the exact equivalent or the translation in my own language.
61
I don't need that.
62
Why do I need that?
63
I would try to connect the words and their meaning to some sort of context or emotion or image in my head.
64
Translation will only slow you down because every time you translate something,
65
the next time you're going to want to do the reverse thing,
66
you're going to think about the word in your native language or the expression in your native language
67
and you're going to want to translate it back into English,
68
you're not going to use that expression that you wrote in your vocabulary list.
69
You're going to try to translate word for word for something else.
70
And it's going to sound weird.
71
Okay, next thing I would do differently,
72
just because I simply didn't have access to a phone or the internet.
73
It was 25 years ago, okay?
74
Now you have this beautiful device that you're holding and you have a lot of AI apps.
75
You have a lot of apps that you can interact with humans on.
76
So what I would do,
77
I would find an app that I would train my English just to like feel comfortable
78
and practice little grammar bits and whatnot.
79
And another app where I would find somebody to talk to,
80
somebody real and apps that would pretty much give you like a speaking club dynamic.
81
So you can actually speak.
82
So you train your confidence and your ability to interact with human beings like you're learning some social skills as well.
83
Or if I have the means I would just hire somebody to talk to every day or a couple times a week.
84
Next thing I would do differently or I would change is my mindset around making mistakes.
85
I feel like as kids we became so terrified of making mistakes
86
because you know our teacher would take our homework and our notebooks
87
and would mark every single mistake with a red pen
88
and then we would feel guilty about it and we'd think about it and it didn't feel good, you know?
89
If you made a couple of mistakes,
90
your grade would go lower, which is so dumb.
91
But anyway, when you're speaking and you're making mistakes,
92
the person that you're talking to is not your teacher.
93
They're not taking your speech and analyzing it word by word and marking with red whatever you said wrong.
94
It's not like that.
95
They're just trying to understand what you're saying.
96
You notice those mistakes more because you've been learning every single piece of your speech
97
but that person is just trying to get your message and have a conversation.
98
They don't want to be your teacher, trust me.
99
Okay, next thing is I would stop waiting until I'm ready to speak.
100
I would never feel ready to do anything
101
because to feel ready means what you're you're so confident
102
that you're a hundred percent perfect
103
that you feel ready to start doing something you're never ready
104
you just have to do it bad english is better than silent english
105
because every time you make a mistake you learn but
106
if you're waiting to never make a mistake but you're not speaking
107
and you're not making mistakes it's but you're it's it makes no sense okay
108
and last thing i would do differently i would record myself any chance i'd get voice memos videos everything
109
that i'm doing and i can record it i would
110
because then i would be able to just look back a month
111
or two and see my progress and be my own motivator a lot of people a lot of of my students,
112
they don't really realize how they're improving and I have to be like,
113
you're so much better than you were three months ago.
114
And they're like, oh really?
115
No, I still suck because we never feel like we're good at anything.
116
So recording yourself and then looking back would be such an eye-opener.
117
It'll be inspiring.
118
And honestly, you never know.
119
You might develop this love of recording things and social media is so big nowadays.
120
Maybe you'll become a vlogger.
121
Maybe you'll become a TikToker.
122
You never know.
123
What do you think I'm doing right now?
124
I'm practicing English too.
125
So listen, I learned English the hard way.
126
You can learn it a lot easier, a lot faster nowadays.
127
The traditional textbook teaching method focuses a lot on writing and reading,
128
and maybe a little bit of listening.
129
So a lot of people have this illusion that they can speak English,
130
and when they want to speak,
131
it's just so hard because the words are not coming.
132
So I hope these tips will help you focus a little bit more on speaking.

- “expired” (過期) - 發音時需要注意母音的清晰度,確保發出對應的音。
