- 0:013,000. That is how many words you need
- 0:04to know to understand 95% of spoken
- 0:10English. But what is the best way to
- 0:14learn these
- 0:16words? Most people try to learn English
- 0:18with online tutors, memorizing
- 0:20vocabulary lists, or sitting in a
- 0:23classroom for hours. But these methods
- 0:25are slow, boring, and expensive. So
- 0:29what's the solution? The answer is
- 0:31simple. It's comprehens comprehensible
- 0:34input as the key driver of language
- 0:37acquisition. We acquire language in only
- 0:39one way when we understand it. Most
- 0:43people call that comprehensible input.
- 0:46But what is comprehensible input? Let me
- 0:49show you an example. Hello guys. Let's
- 0:51go outside. Outside. This is a door. I
- 0:58am opening the door. These are my shoes.
- 1:02This is a dog. This is a dog, an animal.
- 1:06The dog's color is beige. So, now we're
- 1:11outside. This grass has been
- 1:14cut. This grass has not been cut. So,
- 1:18you can see the difference. This grass
- 1:20is taller. It's taller. And it has not
- 1:24been cut. This grass is shorter. It's
- 1:27shorter. So, it has been cut. Now, these
- 1:31are trees. These are lemons. And this is
- 1:36a car. There is someone inside of the
- 1:40car. You see inside. You could also call
- 1:44this a pond. It's a pond of water. Even
- 1:47if you didn't understand every word I
- 1:50said, your brain is already learning
- 1:52through the visuals, context, and
- 1:54repetition. And also, you could probably
- 1:57guess what I was talking about based on
- 1:59my actions, right? The comprehensible
- 2:01input learning method is better than
- 2:04other methods because you'll learn
- 2:06vocabulary,
- 2:08pronunciation, listening comprehension
- 2:10skills, grammar, and sentence structure,
- 2:12and by far the most important, how to
- 2:15start thinking in English, all without
- 2:17boring lessons and textbooks. So, that
- 2:20is why I decided I'm going to teach you
- 2:22these 3,000 words through real life
- 2:25vlogs to make learning fun, natural, and
- 2:29way, way less boring. These are real
- 2:32life vlogs, traveling, and adventures.
- 2:35All designed to be as interesting as
- 2:37possible to teach you English with
- 2:39comprehensible input in a fun way so
- 2:41that it doesn't feel like work. it
- 2:43doesn't feel like you're studying
- 2:45because I want you to stick around until
- 2:47you reach your goals of being fluent in
- 2:50English. Whether you're beginner,
- 2:52intermediate, or advanced, these videos
- 2:54will help you become fluent in English
- 2:56and should be a part of your daily study
- 2:59routine. So, the steps you want to
- 3:00follow is first you want to watch
- 3:03comprehensible input videos like my
- 3:05videos. And as you're watching these
- 3:07videos, you want to practice listening
- 3:08comprehension, your pronunciation. You
- 3:11could practice shadowing techniques as
- 3:13you watch these videos. And also watch
- 3:15out for sentence structure, grammar, and
- 3:18just learn this naturally instead of
- 3:19doing lessons in class. The second step
- 3:22is to reinforce this learning you just
- 3:24had in the video. You could use this
- 3:26chat GPT prompt I made for you. It's in
- 3:28the description. And this allows you to
- 3:30just reinforce what you learned in the
- 3:31video. So it gives you the definition
- 3:33for the word again. It gives you
- 3:34examples for the past, present, and
- 3:36future. It also gives you many quizzes
- 3:38to ensure you understood everything
- 3:40about that word. And finally, it's very
- 3:42customizable. So, if you want to have
- 3:44different verb tenses, you could just
- 3:46ask it to give you different verb tenses
- 3:48for that word. And also, it could
- 3:50explain to you just in English or in
- 3:52English and your language or just your
- 3:54language, whatever your level is and
- 3:55whatever you're comfortable with. This
- 3:57will really help you solidify your
- 3:58learnings from the comprehensible input
- 4:00video. And on top of that, you can just
- 4:02ask it any questions or any confusions
- 4:04you have about anything in English and
- 4:06it will answer it. And the third step is
- 4:08more optional, but if you want to
- 4:09remember this words for the long term,
- 4:11especially if you don't have the chance
- 4:13to speak English a lot, you can use an
- 4:15SRS software like Anki and put these
- 4:17words into that software to make sure
- 4:19you don't forget them. And if you don't
- 4:20want to use an SRS software, you can
- 4:22just simply review the words on your own
- 4:24time whenever you feel you need to
- 4:26revise them. And the great thing about
- 4:27this strategy, it's very simple. It's
- 4:29just three steps to follow. So, in
- 4:31summary, watch comprehensible input
- 4:33videos like mine. Use the Chat GBT
- 4:35prompt I gave you in the description to
- 4:37help reinforce what you just learned.
- 4:38The third step, use an SRS software for
- 4:40long-term memorization. I'm talking
- 4:42months and years. And even if you don't
- 4:44follow all the steps, you could just
- 4:46watch the videos and that will still be
- 4:47beneficial for you because it has
- 4:49comprehensible input, which is a great
- 4:51way to learn languages. Comprehensible
- 4:53input videos like this are four times
- 4:56more effective than traditional learning
- 4:58methods. This means that my 10 to 15
- 5:00minute vlog is worth up to one hour of
- 5:03classroom instruction and it's
- 5:05completely free. All I ask is that you
