65. 2:45create a solid plan for learning English

68. 2:54English try something like I'll learn
69. 2:57five new words daily small specific
70. 3:00goals work best absolutely and writing
71. 3:04them down helps too I keep a notebook
72. 3:06where I jot down my daily goals and
73. 3:08review them at the end of the week
74. 3:11that's smart and don't forget long-term
75. 3:13goals like being able to hold a full
76. 3:15conversation in English or understanding
77. 3:18a movie without

80. 3:26yourself it keeps you motivated to keep
81. 3:28going what once you have a plan the next
82. 3:31step is building a daily routine Evan
83. 3:34what's your routine like mine's simple I
84. 3:38listen to a podcast or Audi book in the
85. 3:40morning during breakfast and in the
86. 3:42evening I watch an episode of a TV show
87. 3:45in English I love that I like to mix
88. 3:48listening and reading I read an article
89. 3:51or blog post daily and listen to music
90. 3:53while doing
91. 3:54chores that's the thing find what fits
92. 3:58your day even 10 minutes a day can make
93. 4:01a difference as long as you're
94. 4:02consistent right it's like exercising a
95. 4:06little every day is better than a lot
96. 4:08once in a while and speaking of
97. 4:10consistency immersion is so important
98. 4:13surround yourself with English as much
99. 4:15as possible oh absolutely one thing I
100. 4:19did was change my phone's language to
101. 4:22English sure I struggled with settings
102. 4:24for a week but I learned so much I did
103. 4:28the same also watching movies or TV
104. 4:31shows with English subtitles is a great
105. 4:34way to improve your listening skills and
106. 4:37don't forget music sing along to your
107. 4:40favorite English songs it's fun and
108. 4:43helps with pronunciation and Rhythm
109. 4:45that's a great point and even labeling
110. 4:48items in your home with English words
111. 4:50can help reinforce
112. 4:52vocabulary okay Aon let's talk about
113. 4:55resources there are so many free tools
114. 4:57out there what's your favorite
115. 5:00I love apps like du lingo and memorize
116. 5:03they make learning fun with gamified
117. 5:05lessons and daily
118. 5:07challenges totally agree and YouTube is
119. 5:10another amazing resource with countless
120. 5:12channels offering lessons on
121. 5:14pronunciation conversation and
122. 5:17vocabulary yes and for those who love
123. 5:20reading check out free online articles
124. 5:22or blogs written for English
125. 5:25Learners oh and don't forget podcasts
126. 5:28they're perfect for improving listening
127. 5:30skills and picking up new
128. 5:32phrases now let's talk about speaking
129. 5:36Evan this is where most people feel
130. 5:38stuck right oh absolutely without a
131. 5:42speaking partner it can feel
132. 5:44impossible but here's the thing you can
133. 5:47still practice speaking on your own
134. 5:50exactly one of my favorite tips is to
135. 5:52talk to yourself it might sound silly
136. 5:55but narrating your day in English helps
137. 5:57so much it really
138. 6:00does I also like recording myself I'll
139. 6:03read a short paragraph or talk about my
140. 6:06day then listen to it and see where I
141. 6:08can improve and here's a fun idea
142. 6:11pretend you're hosting a talk show just
143. 6:13talk about random topics in English it's
144. 6:16not just practice It's
145. 6:18Entertainment I love that and let's not
146. 6:21forget language exchange apps like hello
147. 6:23talk even if you can't meet people in
148. 6:26person you can connect with native
149. 6:28speakers online speaking of connecting
150. 6:31listening is another skill that's super
151. 6:34important Evan what's your favorite way
152. 6:36to practice listening I'm a huge fan of
153. 6:39podcasts and
154. 6:41audiobooks I usually listen while I'm
155. 6:43commuting or
156. 6:45exercising it's such a good way to
157. 6:47multitask same here and here's a
158. 6:50technique I love the shadowing technique
159. 6:54you listen to a native speaker and
160. 6:55repeat what they're saying in real time
161. 6:58mimicking their pronunciation and tone
162. 7:01Oh that's brilliant it's like practicing
163. 7:03with a live coach and for beginners I
164. 7:06recommend starting with slower paced
165. 7:08content like podcasts designed for
166. 7:11English
167. 7:12Learners yes and don't be afraid to
168. 7:14pause and Rewind if you miss something
169. 7:17the goal is to improve not rush through
170. 7:20it now let's talk about reading I know a
171. 7:24lot of Learners find this part
172. 7:26intimidating they do but it doesn't have
173. 7:29to be
174. 7:30start small read children's books or
175. 7:32articles written for English Learners
176. 7:35graded readers are a great way to ease
177. 7:37into it absolutely and if you come
178. 7:40across new words highlight them look
179. 7:43them up later and try to use them in
180. 7:46sentences that's a great tip and don't
181. 7:49underestimate blogs or online
182. 7:52forums they're not only informative but
183. 7:54also written in everyday language which
184. 7:57is super helpful for learners
185. 8:00speaking of words Aaron let's dive into
186. 8:03vocabulary what's your go-to method for
187. 8:05learning new words flash cards apps like
188. 8:09Quizlet are amazing because they use
189. 8:11spaced repetition to help you remember
190. 8:13words longer oh I love
191. 8:16Quizlet and I always try to use new
192. 8:18words in sentences right away like if I
193. 8:22learn the word delightful I might say
194. 8:25this coffee is
195. 8:26delightful that's a great example also
196. 8:29don't just memorize words learn them in
197. 8:32context reading and listening are great
198. 8:35for this because you see how words are
199. 8:38actually
200. 8:39used
201. 8:40exactly and for fun you can create word
202. 8:44challenges for yourself for example try
203. 8:47using three new words in a conversation
204. 8:49or a journal entry all right Evan let's
205. 8:52talk motivation what keeps you going
206. 8:55when you feel like giving up honestly
207. 8:58celebrating small win
208. 9:00if I reach a goal like learning 50 new
209. 9:03words I treat myself to something fun
210. 9:06maybe a nice meal or a movie night
211. 9:08that's a great idea I keep a journal
212. 9:11where I write down my progress seeing
213. 9:13how far I've come really inspires me to
214. 9:16keep going love that and joining online
