hello and welcome back to learn English
0:08
with be Global my name is Kristen and
0:11
today we are going to talk about
0:13
becoming fluent in English or fluency in
0:19
English so what exactly does that mean
0:22
to be fluent what does it mean if you
0:25
are fluent in the English language I
0:28
would guess that whatever language you
0:30
speak now you can speak it very easily
0:33
and you know it very well that would
0:36
make you fluent in your native language
0:40
the definition of fluent is to be able
0:43
to speak or write a particular foreign
0:48
language easily and
0:52
accurately and what I've done here is
0:54
I've put the word
0:56
fluent and then I have also put the
0:59
phonetic spelling ing of fluent which
1:02
will help you learn how to pronounce the
1:04
word correctly which is another key to
1:08
being able to be fluent in English so
1:11
for today's lesson I wanted to make it a
1:14
little bit fun and give you some ideas
1:16
on how to remember to try to be fluent
1:19
the things you need to do so I've broken
1:22
it down into spelling out the word
1:24
fluent we have our f l u e n
1:30
T so let's start at the beginning we'll
1:32
start with the word f one thing I can
1:36
recommend for you and suggest that you
1:38
do to become fluent in English is to
1:41
find friends that speak
1:52
English now these English-speaking
1:54
friends they can be friends in the area
1:57
that you live in or possibly they're
2:00
friends that you meet on the internet
2:02
maybe they're even people that you meet
2:04
in writing the comments on your learn
2:05
English videos you never know where you
2:08
might meet a friend who is also learning
2:11
English too and you can help each other
2:14
another great idea is to find a friend
2:17
who speaks English natively they are
2:20
already fluent English maybe they want
2:23
to learn your native language the more
2:26
people that you can speak with whether
2:28
it be online
2:30
in person or while you travel the more
2:33
people that you talk to the better you
2:36
are going to become at speaking English
2:40
fluently so we can find our friends
2:44
online or in English-speaking
2:57
countries and another great idea is a
3:01
language
3:11
exchange maybe even you have a friend
3:13
that you know that would like to learn
3:15
English with you the more people that
3:18
you have supporting you in this journey
3:20
to become fluent English the faster it
3:23
is going to
3:25
happen so now the next letter we have is
3:27
the letter L
3:30
for L I would like you to learn
3:43
grammar now I know that learning grammar
3:47
in English is probably one of the most
3:50
difficult things to do there are so many
3:53
different rules some of the rules are
3:55
broken sometimes sometimes they're not
3:58
don't get discouraged and don't be too
4:01
hard on yourself learn what you can
4:04
listen to what other people say when
4:07
they're speaking listen to the native
4:09
English speakers and how they speak on a
4:12
daily basis and that's going to help you
4:15
be able to learn the grammar and
4:17
understand how people that flu that
4:19
speak it fluently speak it by listening
4:23
to them on a regular basis so don't be
4:26
hard on yourself even we make mistakes
4:29
most people that I know don't speak
4:31
perfect English when they're speaking
4:33
every day I know that that makes it
4:36
difficult sometimes when you're learning
4:38
but keep going look out for the common
4:41
mistakes that people might make so I
4:44
know that sometimes when learning
4:45
English you might have a problem with
4:47
phonetics phonetics are really important
4:50
get yourself an IPA
4:58
dictionary
5:02
an IPA dictionary will have all of the
5:04
words that you need and it's going to
5:06
spell them phenetically so you can learn
5:09
how to say the word when to use o or a
5:13
or a when you're speaking the word
5:16
because in English it's not always so
5:18
simple phonetics are going to help you a
5:21
lot in being able to speak fluently in
5:25
English another one that I want you to
5:28
keep in mind of are
5:39
prepositions prepositions can be tricky
5:42
sometimes so pay special attention when
5:45
you are
5:46
learning if we are going outside we will
5:49
get in the
5:57
car however I would get on the
6:08
bus this is where the prepositions can
6:11
be a little bit confusing so take some
6:13
time to study
6:15
those another good thing to study when
6:17
you're learning grammar are the
6:19
irregular
6:28
verbs
6:31
so a few examples of irregular verbs
6:34
would
6:35
be
6:38
cost
6:39
or
6:44
make the verb
6:46
stand those are three examples of
6:48
irregular verbs that people will often
6:51
misinterpret and say incorrectly so if I
6:55
were to buy something at the
6:58
store I I would tell
7:00
someone it costs
7:03
$3 if I'm talking about how much it
7:07
costs in the past tense I would say it
7:11
cost
7:13
$3 and if I were to say it would have
7:16
cost $3 last week it never changes it's
7:20
always cost that gives you an
7:23
example also with
7:27
make I make make my day
7:31
wonderful yesterday I made my day
7:35
wonderful last week I would have made my
7:39
day wonderful as well so the the
7:43
conjugations are make made and
7:46
made so those are just a couple examples
7:49
so pay attention to the irregular verbs
7:51
the grammar is important but notice it
7:55
says easily and
7:58
accurately
8:00
it doesn't say perfect you don't need to
8:03
get it perfectly you just need to
8:05
understand and the more that you find
8:07
friends that speak English and can learn
8:10
from them and then study your grammar
8:13
the easier that's going to be so for the
8:16
U I want you oh we already have a u
8:21
there I want you to
8:24
use
8:26
your resources
8:34
resources can be anything that might
8:36
help you learn English better and become
8:40
more fluent so you could use TV
8:43
television news reading the newspaper
8:46
reading novels reading children's books
8:50
any resource that you have that can
8:52
teach you about English getting into a
8:54
class finding a friend all of these are
8:57
resources but there are so so many ways
9:01
that you can help immerse yourself into
9:04
The Language by using all of the
9:06
resources that you have so this is an
9:09
example let me do
9:11
this we have
9:14
television we have
9:18
movies
9:24
newspaper
9:28
magazines
9:30
and of course English
9:38
videos watching this video today is the
9:40
first step that you're taking towards
9:42
being fluent use all of the resources
9:45
you have if you know anyone who speaks
9:47
English make sure you call them up make
9:50
it make them into a friend to help you
9:51
learn English and see if they can help
9:53
you with the grammar and if they can
9:54
point you different directions to help
9:56
you learn English better and become more
10:00
fluent now for the E we need to expand
10:03
our
10:16
vocabulary when learning any language
10:19
you need to know as many words as
10:22
possible so making lists of vocabulary
10:25
checking them every week and adding to
10:28
them as often as possible going through
10:30
and testing your lists naming things
10:33
that you see on a regular basis in
10:36
English to help you
10:38
remember expanding your vocabulary you
10:41
want to expand your vocabulary that
10:45
means you want to know as many words as
10:48
possible the more words that you know
10:50
the more you're going to understand and
10:53
the more that you understand when you're
10:55
watching and using all of your resources
10:58
and when you're you're talking to your
11:00
friends the more fluent you will become
11:03
because you will understand what the
11:04
words are that they are saying and then
11:07
sometimes once you know the words it's
11:09
easier to learn how to put them together
11:12
and to understand how native English
11:14
speakers put them together which can
11:17
then help you become fluent as well so
11:20
now we come to n notice your
11:27
mistakes
11:37
now I'm going to put a smile face there
11:39
because we all make mistakes I make
11:42
mistakes you make mistakes everyone
11:45
makes mistakes the important thing is
11:48
that you learn from them so take time
11:52
when you are studying to notice your
11:56
mistakes notice where those mistakes are
11:59
are the ones that you keep making on a
12:01
regular basis if you're using the wrong
12:04
verb or if you're using the wrong noun
12:07
or if there's a certain saying or
12:09
greeting that you just don't understand
12:11
write it down make a list of the things
12:14
that you really need to work on the
12:16
quicker that you can fix those mistakes
12:19
and move forward from them the more that
12:21
you're going to learn and the faster you
12:24
will be to speaking English
12:27
fluently so you need need to notice your
12:30
mistakes and another n I'm going to add
12:32
on here is for you to make sure you have
12:36
a
12:41
notebook I recommend that you have an
12:45
English notebook for you something that
12:48
is all yours make it fun make it an
12:52
exciting thing for you to do and have it
12:54
be a size that you can carry with you
12:56
all the time so in this notebook you can
12:59
have your vocabulary lists you can have
13:02
all of your resources listed out
13:04
everything you find on the internet or
13:07
movies you want to watch or books you
13:09
want to read you can have your friends
13:12
information in that notebook make that
13:14
notebook your single source that you go
13:17
to that's all about you and becoming
13:19
fluent in English having a notebook and
13:22
having that place that has all of your
13:25
Learning Journey in it is going to help
13:28
you so much
13:29
and be a positive reminder of how far
13:32
you have come and how much you have
13:34
learned it helps to be able to look back
13:37
and see that first page of the notebook
13:40
and see how much you have learned since
13:42
then and how far you have come
13:44
especially when you are looking at your
13:47
mistakes and noticing the things that
13:48
you're doing wrong The Notebook will
13:51
help you continue to be
13:54
positive so one of the last things I
13:56
have to say in today's lesson and also
13:59
one of the most
14:00
important you want to
14:05
think
14:07
in
14:14
English now I know some of you are
14:17
probably saying Kristen how am I
14:19
supposed to think in English I'm still
14:21
learning English I think in English
14:24
every time I watch your video I think in
14:27
English when I'm learning my vocabulary
14:30
what I'm talking about is separate from
14:33
that I'm not talking about the times
14:35
that you are in your notebook and really
14:37
studying of course you're thinking in
14:40
English then what I'm talking about are
14:42
the times that you're not really
14:45
concentrating on studying English to
14:48
think about what how you would say that
14:50
in English so maybe one day you're on
14:53
your way to work and you know you're
14:56
thinking of everything that you have to
14:57
do today I need to make sure that I call
15:00
the bank and when I get to work I need
15:02
to tell my boss that I have to take the
15:05
day off on Saturday and then I need to
15:08
make sure that I call my mother when I
15:10
get home to see how she's feeling as you
15:12
are thinking of these things in your
15:15
native language I want you to try to
15:18
think of them in English this should be
15:20
a fun exercise to just start thinking in
15:23
English how would I say that what would
15:27
I do what words do I know
15:29
what words don't I know and then kind of
15:31
make a mental note of how easy or hard
15:34
that is for you I think one of the
15:37
problems that people have in speaking
15:39
English fluently is that they are always
15:42
thinking in their native tongue or in
15:44
their native language and then trying to
15:48
translate it into English I encourage
15:52
you to try to learn to be thinking in
15:57
English because it will will become so
15:59
much more natural and you will speak it
16:02
more naturally like your native language
16:04
when you can think it and you're not
16:06
always constantly thinking of how this
16:09
translates to this and what word this
16:11
translates to this that time that your
16:13
energy takes and your brain takes to
16:16
transfer everything over and translate
16:18
everything all of the time is one of the
16:21
key things to keeping you from becoming
16:23
fluent from being able to speak or write
16:26
a foreign language easily and
16:30
accurately I really hope these have
16:32
helped you today so when you are
16:34
thinking about becoming fluent you can
16:36
remember this find
16:38
friends learn
16:40
grammar use your resources expand your
16:45
vocabulary notice your mistakes make
16:48
sure you have a notebook and think in
16:51
