11:29how they want to go out and practice their english but what
11:31practice their english but what
11:31practice their english but what they should really be doing is
11:32they should really be doing is
11:32they should really be doing is practicing whatever their
11:34practicing whatever their
11:34practicing whatever their interest is in English
11:36interest is in English
11:36interest is in English this is a very subtle or a very

11:41slight a very small difference
11:41slight a very small difference in the way you think
11:42in the way you think
11:42in the way you think but when you change that way of
