Full transcript

1. 0:00So, after 10 years of learning English,
2. 0:01people always ask me, "What's your
3. 0:03[music] secret? How do you maintain your
4. 0:05level?" And honestly, it comes down to
5. 0:06just two daily habits. [music] That's
6. 0:09it. They're simple. They're sustainable.
7. 0:11And most importantly, you can actually
8. 0:13see progress [music] every single day.
9. 0:15And I'm still doing them every day. Now,
10. 0:17the first one is read aloud every day. I
11. 0:20think it is massively underrated. I see
12. 0:23so many people obsessing over creating
13. 0:25content or speaking practice at the very
14. 0:27beginning of their study journey, but
15. 0:29actually they completely [music] skip
16. 0:31this fundamental step. Here's why
17. 0:33reading aloud is incredible for you.
18. 0:35First, it can help you boost confidence
19. 0:37when speaking English and also you will
20. 0:39have daily pronunciation practice and it
21. 0:42can give you a solid foundation for
22. 0:44everything else including fluency,
23. 0:46inonation, natural rhythm. [music] When
24. 0:48you vocalize these words and sentences,
25. 0:50you are literally training your brain to
26. 0:52connect the [music] sounds with meaning.
27. 0:54You're teaching your mouth how to move.
28. 0:56You are building muscle memory. But
29. 0:58here's the crucial part. [music] Don't
30. 1:00just be a reading robot. You know what I
31. 1:03mean? That kind of word by word lifeless
32. 1:06reading. Actually, don't [music] do
33. 1:07that. Let me give you an example.
34. 1:09Learning English is all about
35. 1:12persistence [music] and perseverance.
36. 1:15You cannot give up. Don't do that.
37. 1:18Instead, you should do like [music]
38. 1:19learning English is all about
39. 1:22persistence and [music] perseverance.
40. 1:25You cannot give up when difficulties
41. 1:28emerge. You can be slow but pay
42. 1:30attention to the place that you
43. 1:32naturally pause and also where does one
44. 1:35idea end and another begin. When you
45. 1:37figure this out, suddenly the sentence
46. 1:39structure becomes crystal clear for you.
47. 1:41I still do this every single day even
48. 1:43now. is how I maintain my English
49. 1:45environment, especially since I'm not
50. 1:47surrounded by native speakers 24/7 now.
51. 1:49So, the second habit is write something
52. 1:52every day. People will say like, but we
53. 1:54have chat GPT, we have AI now. Why do I
54. 1:57need to write? Here's the reality.
55. 1:59Writing is just another form of
56. 2:01speaking. Actually, it's speaking with a
57. 2:04pause button. Think about it. If someone
58. 2:06writes well with great grammar, clear
59. 2:09logic, smooth flow, do you think that
60. 2:11they're going to struggle when speaking?
61. 2:13Of course not. Strong writing skills
62. 2:15translate directly and smoothly to
63. 2:17strong speaking skills. Here's what
64. 2:20makes writing so powerful. When you
65. 2:22write, you have time to think before you
66. 2:24commit. You see your thoughts on paper
67. 2:27or screen. You can rearrange them. You
68. 2:30can visualize your sentence structures,
69. 2:31your vocabulary choices, and your
70. 2:33argument flow. But actually with
71. 2:35speaking [music] it's gone the moment it
72. 2:36leaves your mouth, right? You don't get
73. 2:38that visual feedback. So my
74. 2:41recommendation is that you should start
75. 2:42a daily journal. [music] No matter on
76. 2:45your phone or laptop or just with a
77. 2:47notebook, just take notes about your
78. 2:50work or your life. Write down random
79. 2:52thoughts. Doesn't matter what, but just
80. 2:54write something down every day. After
81. 2:56you write, just [music] threw it into
82. 2:58Chai GBT and ask it to polish your
83. 3:01language and then read the improved
84. 3:03version aloud. I will give you a very
85. 3:04useful prompt here and just [music] take
86. 3:06a screenshot. Actually, learning English
87. 3:09is not about magically becoming C2 level
88. 3:11overnight. It's not about perfect
89. 3:13grammar or sounding exactly like a
90. 3:15native speaker tomorrow. It's about
91. 3:17showing up consistently. It's about
92. 3:19building sustainable [music] habits that
93. 3:21actually stick. Just start small. 5
94. 3:23minutes of reading aloud, a few
95. 3:25sentences in your journal. That's all
96. 3:27you need to
