- 0:03you how to finally think and speak in
- 0:06English I'm going to explain the
- 0:08connection give you a simple formula
- 0:11that will help you finally start
- 0:13speaking like a native English speaker
- 0:16are you ready well then I am teacher
- 0:19Tiffany let's Jump Right In All right so
- 0:23the first thing you have to understand
- 0:25is the five ws method that's right we
- 0:28must first start off by thinking in
- 0:31English using the five W's who what when
- 0:35where and why so let's say we're talking
- 0:37about our daily life and we're going to
- 0:40start with our morning routine look at
- 0:43this man he's working out hard but we
- 0:46want to describe what he's doing like a
- 0:48native English speaker so we must think
- 0:51in English who is he his name is Mike
- 0:55he's 50 years old what is Mike doing
- 0:58Mike is working working out hard when at
- 1:036 a.m. every morning where at a large
- 1:09gym not too far from his house and why
- 1:14he learned the importance of discipline
- 1:17from working on a farm and the
- 1:20importance of staying in shape from his
- 1:22military background so again what have
- 1:26we done we have thought in English we
- 1:29saw what was was happening this man was
- 1:31building muscles and he does it every
- 1:34morning this is his morning routine and
- 1:37we use the five W's so now how do we
- 1:40speak in English about his morning
- 1:44routine so once again we have the five
- 1:47W's here organized who what when where
- 1:50and why which will lead us to speaking
- 1:54about his morning routine watch this
- 1:57read along with me I am 50 years old but
- 2:01I still work out hard at 6: a.m. every
- 2:05morning I usually exercise at a large
- 2:08gym not too far from my house people
- 2:12always say my
- 2:14consistency is impressive honestly I
- 2:18learned the importance of discipline
- 2:21from working on a farm and the
- 2:24importance of staying in shape from my
- 2:26time in the military you see what just
- 2:29happened right using the five W's we
- 2:33thought about his morning routine and
- 2:35then we were able to speak think and
- 2:38then speak now I want to break down some
- 2:41of the words some of the vocabulary
- 2:43words within this speaking portion but I
- 2:46want to remind you to use the 5 W's to
- 2:50talk about your own morning routine now
- 2:52I see a word in here that maybe you
- 2:55don't know the first word is consistency
- 3:01good after me again
- 3:05consistency excellent now the word
- 3:07consistency just means the quality of
- 3:10always behaving or performing in a
- 3:14similar way or of always happening in a
- 3:18similar way so let me explain something
- 3:22to you really quickly about this word
- 3:26remember who I am your English teacher
- 3:29right right so every Sunday I make it a
- 3:32point to upload an English lesson
- 3:35Sundays at 8:00 a.m. eastern right so I
- 3:39want to do it on a regular basis my
- 3:43behavior my pattern is uploading English
- 3:47lessons for you on Sundays so I am
- 3:50trying to practice
- 3:53consistency makes sense right you got it
- 3:56now maybe you have a little bit of
- 3:57trouble with the pronunciation I want to
- 3:59remind you to download the English with
- 4:01Tiffany app within the app there are
- 4:03many lessons and courses but I have a
- 4:06specific course on pronunciation that
- 4:08will help you so you can download that
- 4:10course uh you can download the app all
- 4:13right so consistency now let's go back
- 4:16again and look at what was said the next
- 4:20word was
- 4:22impressive impressive so after me
- 4:27impressive excellent again
- 4:31impressive good job now this word
- 4:34impressive is also very important if an
- 4:37object or achievement is impressive you
- 4:42admire or respect it usually because it
- 4:45is special important or very large so
- 4:49for example me when I think about you as
- 4:53a student as an English learner learning
- 4:56a second language or a third language
- 4:58and for many of you a fourth language
- 5:01English is not your mother tongue I am
- 5:05impressed your abilities are impressive
- 5:08why you are learning another language
- 5:11you are so intelligent so that's an
- 5:14achievement you are very impressive
- 5:17makes sense right so again we said that
- 5:20Mike's morning routine is impressive all
- 5:24right now there's another one that I
- 5:25want us to look at very quickly the
- 5:28other one was
- 5:31discipline again
- 5:34discipline excellent all right now what
- 5:37does the word discipline actually mean
- 5:40it's the ability to control yourself or
- 5:44other people even in difficult
- 5:47situations
- 5:49so maybe your favorite dessert is ice
- 5:52cream W when you see the ice cream you
- 5:55want to eat it all but you're on a diet
- 5:59you're you're trying to lose weight so
- 6:01you have to be disciplined you have to
- 6:05control yourself from eating all of the
- 6:08ice cream makes sense right in English
- 6:11we say discipline are you a very
- 6:14disciplined person let us know in the
- 6:16comment section all right so we have
- 6:19discipline now once again looking at
- 6:22what was said to describe his morning
- 6:24routine we have all of the information
- 6:28and we're able to speak about his
- 6:29morning routine because we first thought
- 6:32about his morning routine using the five
- 6:35W's who what when where and why now
- 6:38before we move to the afternoon routine
- 6:40I want you in the comment section to
- 6:43write about your personal morning
- 6:46routine now remember again using the
- 6:50thought section thinking in English you
- 6:53must first again say who what when where
- 6:57and why so let us know about your
- 7:00morning routine in the comment section
- 7:03all right here we go let's move on to
- 7:05the afternoon routine again you're going
- 7:08to notice this pattern think speak think
- 7:12speak think using the five W's and then
- 7:15you'll be able to speak fluently in
- 7:18English here we go afternoon routine
- 7:21let's look at this afternoon routine
- 7:24maybe you're at work and you have to
- 7:26have lots of meetings with your
- 7:28co-workers so who my team members and I
- 7:33we are web designers what go to a team
- 7:37meeting in the afternoon when around
- 7:412:00 p.m. in the
- 7:43afternoon where in the big conference
- 7:46room down the hall from my office why to
- 7:51discuss how we will create all of the
- 7:55images layouts and videos for a new
- 7:58corporate website so once again what did
- 8:02we do we thought about the afternoon
- 8:05routine who what when where and why we
- 8:09are organizing our thoughts about this
- 8:12period of time you can do it for any
- 8:15situation now we've thought about it
- 8:17again we have the five W's very clearly
- 8:20broken down for the afternoon routine so
- 8:24how would we now speak about the
- 8:27afternoon routine here we go
- 8:30this is how we would say all of that
- 8:33information I am a web designer and I
- 8:35work with a great team got it almost
- 8:39every day we have a team meeting at
- 8:41around 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon got it
- 8:45when our team meetings are in the big
- 8:48conference room down the hall from my
- 8:51office got it where we meet to discuss
- 8:55how we will create all of the images
- 8:58layouts and video videos for a new
- 9:00corporate website got it I explained why
- 9:04so because we thought about our
- 9:06afternoon routine five W's we were able
- 9:09to speak fluently in English about our
- 9:13afternoon routines again think and speak
- 9:17simple formula use the five W's and bow
- 9:21you'll start sounding like a native
- 9:23English speaker now within our answer
- 9:26there are about three things that I want
- 9:28to explain to you so here we go I want
- 9:31to explain the first one the first one
- 9:34is at around let me take this off the
- 9:37screen very quickly at around now this
- 9:41means near or close to approximately and
- 9:46it usually refers to a numerical value
- 9:49or point in time so for example let's
- 9:53say you're gonna have a party you gonna
- 9:55have a
- 9:56party all right so you're gonna have a
- 9:58party right and you say hey guys my
- 10:01party starts at 3 pm. everyone's like
- 10:04okay I'll be there but then one of your
- 10:06friends says oh my goodness I have to
- 10:08work that day and I get off at 300 p.m.
- 10:12but I'll Rush there and I think I can
- 10:14get there at around 3:45 it means
- 10:19approximately I'm going to try to get
- 10:21there at that time in English we use at
- 10:25around so again look at how we used it
- 10:28in this situ situation we said we have a
- 10:31team meeting at around 2: p.m. meaning
- 10:36approximately makes sense right okay now
- 10:39what about down the hall from I said
- 10:42down the hall from now this is also
- 10:45something we use on a regular basis so
- 10:48down the hall from means it specifies a
- 10:52location along the hall like if you're
- 10:54in a building there's a hallway so down
- 10:58the hall from means you're talking about
- 11:00a certain place along the hallway it
- 11:03means further along the hall from a
- 11:06specific location I'm in this spot but
- 11:10it's further down from me it's down the
- 11:13hall from dot dot dot so my office is
- 11:18down the hall from my boss's office the
- 11:22bathroom is down the hall from the
- 11:25conference room you see what's happening
- 11:27right you're telling where something is
- 11:30in relation to something else in English
- 11:33we say down the hall from so in this
- 11:36example speaking about his afternoon
- 11:39routine her afternoon routine we said
- 11:42our meetings are in the big conference
- 11:45room down the hall from my office makes
- 11:49sense right okay now there was one more
- 11:51that I wanted to explain it was
- 11:55corporate corporate now again after me
- 11:58for pronun ation
- 12:01corporate excellent now we saw how we
- 12:03use this we said the last sentence we
- 12:06need to discuss how we will create all
- 12:09of the images layouts and videos for a
- 12:12new corporate website all right so what
- 12:16does corporate mean corporate actually
- 12:18means relating to a large company so
- 12:22think about Apple I love Apple computers
- 12:25I love Apple products apple is a huge
- 12:29huge company now the main office could
- 12:32be referred to as the corporate office
- 12:35or the headquarters so corporate just
- 12:39refers to a large company so when we
- 12:42explained the afternoon routine we said
- 12:46they meet to discuss what they're going
- 12:48to do for the large company website or
- 12:52the corporate website makes sense right
- 12:55so now we understand corporate so again
- 12:59we were able to speak about the
- 13:00afternoon routine like a native English
- 13:03speaker very fluently simply because we
- 13:07first thought about it in English one
- 13:10more time who what when where and why
- 13:16all of these pieces of information were
- 13:19included in our response when we spoke
- 13:23about the afternoon routine so what
- 13:27about the evening routine routine all
- 13:30right so here we go evening routine
- 13:31maybe you enjoy hanging out with your
- 13:35friends so we have to start with again
- 13:37the who my closest friends and I they're
- 13:41my elementary school friends what we go
- 13:45out to eat when every Thursday at 700
- 13:50p.m. where popular restaurants in our
- 13:54area why we are all Foodies and we enjoy
- 13:59spending time with each other after work
- 14:02now I want to pause really quickly and
- 14:04emphasize something
- 14:06again this phase this step this stage is
- 14:10very simple it doesn't matter what level
- 14:13you are in English you can think of who
- 14:16you were with what you did very simply
- 14:19where you were why and when again the
- 14:23thinking portion is simple breaking it
- 14:26down using the five ws right
- 14:29now we have everything that you do in
- 14:32the evening with your friends having a
- 14:35great time now we need to speak in
- 14:39English about your evening routine so
- 14:42here we go evening routine using all of
- 14:45the information we gathered from the
- 14:46five W's my closest friends and I have
- 14:49known each other since elementary school
- 14:53usually we try to hang out every
- 14:55Thursday at 700 p.m. we go out to eat at
- 14:59popular restaurants in our area because
- 15:02we are all Foodies but more importantly
- 15:05we truly enjoy spending time with each
- 15:08other after work now you know how
- 15:11natural that sounded right but look I
- 15:15just use the five W's and you can do the
- 15:18same thing to sound like a native
- 15:20English speaker now there are a few
- 15:23words and expressions that I'd like to
- 15:24go over with you the first one is hang
- 15:28out after me hang
- 15:31out excellent now let me explain what
- 15:34hangout actually means here we go it
- 15:37means to spend time relaxing or
- 15:40socializing informally or to spend a lot
- 15:44of time in a place or with someone hey
- 15:48spend time with your friends at a
- 15:50restaurant I used to enjoy cooking for
- 15:52my friends when I lived in South Korea I
- 15:55loved it and I would invite them over
- 15:57and we would hang out
- 15:59spend time together so in the comments
- 16:02section I want you to tell us where do
- 16:04you like to hang out do you like to hang
- 16:07out at the mall at your friend's house
- 16:10maybe you like to go to a cafe where do
- 16:13you like to hang out let us know in the
- 16:15chat section all right so we say hang
- 16:17out in English so again looking at it
- 16:20what do we see we my closest friends and
- 16:24I usually try to hang out every Thursday
- 16:27at 700 p.m. now I want us to look at the
- 16:31next one go out to eat you may have
- 16:33heard this one or you may not have this
- 16:36just means again to eat at a restaurant
- 16:40or away from one's home so I mentioned
- 16:43earlier that I love cooking but
- 16:46sometimes it's nice to go to a
- 16:49restaurant to let somebody else cook for
- 16:52me to let somebody else cook for myself
- 16:54and my friends so we go out we're not
- 16:57inside we go out to eat let us know in
- 17:00the chat section where do you like to go
- 17:02out to eat maybe in your country there
- 17:04are

- 17:08like to go out to eat I love going to
- 17:11Indian restaurants as you all know I
- 17:13love Indian food and Mexican food as
- 17:15well so we say go out to eat in English
- 17:19and again we saw we said go out to eat
- 17:22at popular restaurants now the last one
- 17:25I want to explain is a popular one food
- 17:29foodie you got it f sound front teeth
- 17:32bottom lip after me
- 17:34foodie excellent all right now let me

- 17:53be a foodie I love so many different
- 17:55types of food I love Indian I love
- 17:57Haitian I love Mexican I love

- 18:01delicious so I consider myself to be a
- 18:04foodie because I'm so interested in food
- 18:08maybe you're a foodie as well all right
- 18:10so we say Foodie in English and we
- 18:13explain that my friends and I are
- 18:17Foodies makes sense right okay so again
- 18:20what we did was we were able to explain
- 18:24talk about speak English fluently about
- 18:27my or your or their evening routine
- 18:31simply simply because we first thought

- 19:42time it is come on and join me it's
- 19:45Story Time hey I said it's story
- 19:50time all right today's story is about
- 19:55food that's right I explained earlier in
- 19:58the lesson that I am a foodie I love
- 20:02food and I have a friend who is also a
- 20:06foodie and we actually became close
- 20:09friends because of that so let me
- 20:11explain what happened so I had been in
- 20:14Korea for about 8 years and I came home
- 20:18just for a short break and I was going
- 20:20to go back to South Korea to finish my
- 20:23last year and a half there now when I
- 20:26was going back I was told by the office
- 20:29like the head office that they were
- 20:30going to place me at a new school a
- 20:32school I had never been to so I was a
- 20:35bit apprehensive because I didn't know
- 20:37anyone there and all of my roots my
- 20:40Korean family members lived in Soul for
- 20:43those that Know About Soul it's the
- 20:44major city in Korea and they wanted to
- 20:47move me to the outskirts of the city
- 20:50Look up the word outskirts on the
- 20:52outside kind of like the suburbs but a
- 20:54very quiet area and I said you know what
- 20:57it's okay I prayed about it and I
- 20:58decided to go so when I got there there
- 21:01were only I think three or four other
- 21:04Korean teachers and I think two or three
- 21:07other foreign teachers like Americans or
- 21:10native English speakers it was a very
- 21:12small school I left a school that had 10
- 21:14and another school that had 20 so this
- 21:16was a very small school and in the
- 21:18school among the Korean teachers there
- 21:20was one teacher and I'll say her name
- 21:23Annie she may watch this video her name
- 21:25was Annie and she seems really nice she
- 21:28seemed very very organized and she also
- 21:30seemed to be a very good teacher just
- 21:32from observing her when I first got
- 21:33there and I was like okay yeah she seems
- 21:35basically about business and I am a
- 21:37person that is about business I take my
- 21:40job seriously and she seemed to be that
- 21:42type of person as well so anyways Annie
- 21:45approached me one day and said Tiffany
- 21:47you know would you mind teaching me the
- 21:48Bible now we had known each other for
- 21:51maybe a month we weren't close but we
- 21:53saw each other every day at work and she
- 21:55recognized that I enjoyed teaching the
- 21:57Bible to my students
- 21:59so I said sure no no worries she knew I
- 22:02spoke Korean and she also spoke English
- 22:04well but she said hey I think it'll be
- 22:06nice to study the Bible with you in
- 22:08English and if I have questions I can
- 22:09ask you in Korean said sure no problem
- 22:12so we started studying the Bible we had
- 22:14a great time she loves God I love God
- 22:17and we had great conversations so we had
- 22:19been studying with each other for maybe
- 22:21about two or three weeks and again I
- 22:23noticed that she was a very hard worker
- 22:25I admired her work ethic but that was
- 22:27the extent we didn't do anything after
- 22:30work we just saw each other at work very
- 22:32cordial very nice to each other so one
- 22:34day Annie approached me when we were in
- 22:37the staff room and said hey Tiffany do
- 22:40you want to go out to eat for lunch and
- 22:42I was like okay sure you know I was new
- 22:45to the area again I'm a foodie but she
- 22:48and I had never talked about food she
- 22:50said you want to go out to lunch I said
- 22:51sure she said yeah there's an Indian
- 22:54restaurant not too far from here now
- 22:56remember I told you my favorite food is
- 22:57Indian so inside I said oh yeah but
- 23:02outside I said oh that sounds
- 23:05nice now Annie knows me very well now so
- 23:08my responses are a lot different but you
- 23:10know I didn't know her that well and I
- 23:12said oh okay you know that's nice let's
- 23:14go I was
- 23:16excited so anyways the next day we
- 23:19decided and we went to the restaurant so
- 23:22we get to the restaurant and again we're
- 23:23just talking great conversation it was
- 23:25really easy to talk to her we had great
- 23:27conversation and we talked about life
- 23:29you know my experiences her experiences
- 23:32and then the food came now when the food
- 23:34came remember I am a foodie I love
- 23:37Indian food so I know what Indian food
- 23:39is good and what Indian food is not good
- 23:41so the plates arrived and like there was
- 23:44the steam coming up from the curry and
- 23:47then I saw the naan and I was getting
- 23:50excited because my nose was happy I
- 23:53could smell that the seasonings they
- 23:56were correct right so but again I was
- 23:59still talking to Annie and we were just
- 24:01talking so the food came you know we
- 24:03prayed over the food we you know kind of
