11. 0:40going to be speaking
12. 0:42English
13. 0:44my [music] beach bag because of
14. 0:47something else looks really calm. We
15. 0:50should have I'm going to get in the
16. 0:54water. Don't worry about understanding
17. 0:57[music]
18. 0:58every single word and try to understand
19. 1:02me through context. Okay, let's get
20. 1:07ready. [music] We are in Laas by the
21. 1:10way. It's in Baja California in the
22. 1:14north of Mexico. Okay, first let me show
23. 1:20you what I have in my bag.
24. 1:26My beach bag.
25. 1:28It's not really a beach bag. It's more
26. 1:32of just a normal backpack,
27. 1:37but it's my beach bag for today. So,
28. 1:40let's see what I have inside. But first,
29. 1:44what do you pack for the beach?
30. 1:49What do you put inside your beach bag?
31. 1:54So, let's see what I have. So, first of
32. 1:56all, I have my camera, the one I'm
33. 1:59recording with right now, cuz I was
34. 2:02recording for today.
35. 2:04Then I have
36. 2:07some sunglasses.
37. 2:11These are new sunglasses.
38. 2:14My new favorite sunglasses
39. 2:17because they're pink.
40. 2:21And you guys know I've been loving the
41. 2:23color pink lately. Do you like these?
42. 2:27Tell me in the comments.
43. 2:30Then we have my microphone.
44. 2:35This is the microphone
45. 2:38I used.
46. 2:39to record my videos. It's really good. I
47. 2:44have
48. 2:46a towel,
49. 2:49a beach towel. Next, we have
50. 2:53my shirt. Let me show you guys
51. 2:57a shirt I brought um just kind of to
52. 3:00wear after I swim because it's a little
53. 3:05bit uncomfortable to wear a shirt like
54. 3:08this um after swimming cuz it's so
55. 3:12tight. A loose loose shirts are really
56. 3:16nice for after swimming especially when
57. 3:18you're all sticky from the salt water in
58. 3:22the ocean. Then what else? Oh, then we
59. 3:26have in the front pockets. So, these are
60. 3:30the front pockets. My wallet
61. 3:34and my headphones.
62. 3:37I have a hat
63. 3:41to protect my skin from
64. 3:46the sun rays.
65. 3:48And I have sunscreen on my face. So, I
66. 3:52didn't bring my sunscreen with me. Even
67. 3:56though I probably should have. Next time
68. 4:01I will bring my sunscreen.
69. 4:04I'll learn from my mistake. So, remember
70. 4:09should have we use when we didn't do
71. 4:14something but we think that we should
72. 4:18have. We think that next time we will we
73. 4:25should have. We use it when we didn't do
74. 4:28something. We didn't do it. Now would
75. 4:31have is a little different. If I say I
76. 4:35would have brought my sunscreen, but I
77. 4:40didn't because I already put it on.
78. 4:43Would have means I intentionally didn't
79. 4:47because of something else.
80. 4:50I would have brought my sunscreen, but I
81. 4:53didn't because I didn't need it. It
82. 4:57wasn't necessary. I would have if I
83. 5:00needed to, but I didn't. If I hadn't put
84. 5:04on sunscreen
85. 5:06and I forgot to pack sunscreen,
86. 5:11then I would have gotten sunburnt.
87. 5:16If your skin turns red
88. 5:21after being in the sun for a long time,
89. 5:25then that's called
90. 5:28sunburn.
91. 5:30That's getting sunburnt.
92. 5:34Have you ever gotten sunburnt?
93. 5:38Maybe on your shoulders, your chest,
94. 5:41maybe your forehead got sunburnt.
95. 5:45Tell me in the comments. I have my
96. 5:48swimsuit on underneath
97. 5:52so that I can just take off my shirt and
98. 5:56get in the ocean. I also am wearing
99. 6:00flip-flops.
100. 6:03So, these are called sandals or flip
101. 6:07flops.
102. 6:09And normally you wear these at the
103. 6:11beach. Flip flops. Okay. I'll put on my
104. 6:15sunglasses,
105. 6:18put on my hat,
106. 6:20and let's go head to the beach.
107. 6:28Now, we're walking to
108. 6:32the beach.
109. 6:34So, let me show you guys the view. So,
110. 6:38just then I was at the kiosk.
111. 6:41So, that's the kiosk over there.
112. 6:44And
113. 6:46here is the pier. Now we're walking to
114. 6:51the beach. So I want to sit on the sand.
115. 6:57And while we're on the sand, I'll tell
116. 7:00you guys a little more. Wait about this
117. 7:04beach that I'm on. Now look at that. We
118. 7:08made it. There aren't very many people
119. 7:12here today. The beach is very empty. The
120. 7:16water looks really calm. Like the waves,
121. 7:21they're super calm. The sky is a little
122. 7:24bit cloudy.
123. 7:26It's not super clear at the moment, but
124. 7:30it's still keeps it fresh. It's not too
125. 7:35insanely hot. Now, it's not just warm. I
126. 7:40would say it's hot. So to be hot is
127. 7:45almost to be scorching.
128. 7:47So if I say it's scorching hot, that
129. 7:51means it's really hot, not just warm.
130. 7:55And right now it's not scorching hot
131. 7:59because the sun isn't super intense,
132. 8:04but it is hot. Don't get me wrong, it's
133. 8:08very hot. So actually before I describe
134. 8:12everything to you, before I tell you
135. 8:15what this is, what that is, I want you
136. 8:19to tell me what you see. So what can you
137. 8:24see? You don't need to know tons of
138. 8:29English vocabulary to tell me or any
139. 8:32complicated words.
140. 8:35You could say the water is blue, the
141. 8:39beach is quiet, or that the sun is
142. 8:43shining.
143. 8:45Maybe that there are people swimming.
144. 8:49Simple English is still English. Okay,
145. 8:54here's how I would describe it.
146. 8:57The water is calm.
147. 9:01The waves are small.
148. 9:05The sky is cloudy
149. 9:09and the sand
150. 9:12feels
151. 9:14rough.
152. 9:16There's a nice breeze
153. 9:19coming from the ocean.
154. 9:22Now, something I really want you to
155. 9:24practice in English is describing your
156. 9:28surroundings.
157. 9:29You can do this anywhere. When you're
158. 9:32walking, the street is busy. When you're
159. 9:37having a coffee,
160. 9:39this brew is hot. When you're at home, I
161. 9:45need to clean my kitchen. And you don't
162. 9:48need an English-speaking person next to
163. 9:50you to start using it. Okay. Now, I
164. 9:55think I'm going to get in the water.
165. 9:59Notice how I didn't say I'm going to
166. 10:03enter the ocean. I just said I'm going
167. 10:07to get in now. Okay. We've been
168. 10:10practicing a lot of English. But now I
169. 10:14just want to talk to you because this is
170. 10:18something I want you to start doing more
171. 10:23when you're practicing English. Stop
172. 10:25treating English like a school subject
173. 10:29that you study for and memorize. English
174. 10:33isn't just grammar.
175. 10:36It isn't a test. It isn't something you
176. 10:40need to finish learning before starting
177. 10:44to use it. It's a language. It's
178. 10:48something you can experience life
179. 10:51through. I think about what we did
180. 10:55today.
181. 10:56We walked. We went swimming.
182. 11:00We looked at the ocean.
183. 11:03We talked. And you experienced all of
184. 11:08that in English. And maybe there were
185. 11:12words that you didn't understand
186. 11:15completely, but that's okay. You don't
187. 11:19need to understand every word to have a
188. 11:23conversation,
189. 11:25a meaningful conversation. I think
190. 11:28sometimes English learners wait for the
191. 11:31moment when they're ready to speak. When
192. 11:36my grammar gets better, then I'll be
193. 11:40ready. When I know more vocabulary,
194. 11:44when my pronunciation improves, then
195. 11:48I'll speak. But speaking is part of how
196. 11:53those things improve, not when. You
197. 11:56don't become confident and then start
198. 11:59speaking. You become confident because
199. 12:03you started speaking. And that's exactly
200. 12:06what we do in my English community, the
201. 12:11slow English community.
202. 12:14And we're opening in
203. 12:16October, at the beginning of October.
204. 12:19So, be sure to join the wait list to
205. 12:21start speaking English with other
206. 12:23English learners from around the world.
207. 12:26No judgment, no pressure to speak. Now
208. 12:29imagine
209. 12:31what you would do if you weren't afraid
210. 12:35of making mistakes. Would you travel?
211. 12:38Would you make new friends?
212. 12:41Would you apply for a new job? Think
213. 12:44about your answer. Now you have to talk.
214. 12:48I'm going to ask you five questions and
215. 12:51you have to answer out loud, not in your
216. 12:55head. Okay? Ready? What is the weather
217. 13:00like where you are right now?
218. 13:04Pause. [clears throat] Number two. Do
219. 13:08you prefer the beach or the mountains?
220. 13:14Pause. Number three.
221. 13:16What's something you always bring to the
222. 13:20beach?
223. 13:22Pause. Number four.
224. 13:25When was the last time you went
225. 13:29swimming?
226. 13:31Pause. And number five.
227. 13:34If you could travel to anywhere in the
228. 13:37world right now,
229. 13:40where would you go?
230. 13:43Pause. Oh, and why? Tell me. Pause. And
231. 13:47if answering those questions felt
232. 13:50difficult, that means that you actually
233. 13:54practiced.
234. 13:55Congratulations. I'm proud of you. I'm
235. 13:58proud that you're not giving up on your
236. 14:01dreams. Whether that's English or
237. 14:03whether that's learning English for
238. 14:06something else, you're still pursuing
239. 14:08your dreams. You're not letting them be
240. 14:10forgotten. Now, before we leave, let's
241. 14:14do one last thing.
242. 14:16I'm going to say a sentence and you'll
243. 14:21listen then repeat. Ready? I spent the
244. 14:27day at the beach.
245. 14:33The water was crystal clear.
246. 14:43I walked barefoot
247. 14:46along the shore.
248. 14:54The sand was scorching
249. 14:57hot.
250. 15:03I watched the sun set over the ocean.
251. 15:13I don't need perfect English to start
252. 15:18speaking
253. 15:25a little faster.
254. 15:27I don't need perfect English to start
255. 15:29speaking.
256. 15:32[snorts]
257. 15:32You don't. How much of this video did
258. 15:36you understand? And also tell me where
259. 15:40should we spend our next day together?
260. 15:44Maybe at the coffee shop, maybe at a
261. 15:48restaurant. I think we should make this
262. 15:50a series. What do you think? If you
263. 15:53enjoyed this video, I'm sure you'll
264. 15:56enjoy the next one I have for you here.
265. 15:59I'll see you guys next time.
266. 16:02Remember, never stop learning.
267. 16:06Bye.
