4 چیزی که برای به سلاست رسیدن در انگلیسی باید هر روز تمرین کنید

4 things to study EVERY DAY to become fluent in English

Everyone and welcome back to English with Lucy.

Today I am going to talk to you, About the four things that you need to study every single day, If you want to improve your English quickly in a short period of time.

Now I have made quite a few videos about how you can incorporate and integrate English into your daily life, but this video is going to take it a step further.

Throughout this video I am going to answer loads of the most popular questions, that you put underneath. All of my videos questions like how do I know which vocabulary I should learn.

Or how can I know where to start with grammar. What order do I go in there are so many YouTube videos out there, but I don’t know which order to follow or questions like how often should I schedule classes with teachers or another really important question.

What’s more important grammar or pronunciation should I learn grammar first and then perfect my pronunciation, or should I speak English with perfect pronunciation and bad grammar.

Which should I do first I’m going to be discussing all of that with you today so let’s get started the first thing that you should study every single day if you want to become fluent quickly its pronunciation with pronunciation practice makes perfect, which is why I’m asking you to do it every single day and my honest professional opinion is that pronunciation should be studied from the very very beginning I’m not sure about your experience with English teachers.

Please comment down below if you’ve had a good or a bad experience.

But I’ve seen many teachers put too little emphasis on pronunciation and too much emphasis on grammar I taught in Spain and I saw students leave school with great grammar sometimes better than my own but I couldn’t understand what they were saying because their pronunciation was so bad and by then that they had spent so long speaking with bad pronounce d–ation that it was really hard for them to make a change.

So what I’m saying to you is don’t learn grammar first and then introduce pronunciation at a later date. Start with pronunciation the best thing to do is just to study them both at the same time. But really really make an emphasis on pronunciation because grammar is a strict set of rules but pronunciation is a lot harder. There’s an art to it correct pronunciation helps with so much more than just sounding like you know how to speak English.

Knowing correct pronunciation will transform how you understand other people once you know how a word is pronounced you will understand it when somebody says it to you students always ask me why their listening skills are so bad and I tell them it’s probably because your pronunciation skills are lacking.

you don’t know how to say the word so how will you understand when someone else says it to you so how can we improve our pronunciation.

Well obviously this lesson is far too short to teach you absolutely everything but I would say that the best place to start is the IPA the international phonetic alphabet.

Please let me know down below in the comments if you would like me to do a series on the IPA because I have been considering it for some time now in complicated terms the IPA is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based on the Latin language but, in simple terms it’s a tool that will help you understand phonetic transcriptions.

those little squiggly weird words that I often put in my pronunciation videos once you understand how to read and comprehend transcriptions, you’ll be able to understand any word you read in a dictionary I have put a link in the description box to my absolute favorite interactive IPA chart.

You click on each element and somebody says it for you it’s brilliant if you dedicate yourself to learning one phoneme or one diphthong each day within two months you will know the whole thing. So practice every day other ways that you can improve your pronunciation.

Listen to how native speak that’s a given and also do some research on the differences between English accents for example British English RP received pronunciation and general American once you understand the differences you’ll be more in tune to the general pronunciation of English.

Right, point number 2 lessons with teachers.

Point number three, Grammar. I receive so many questions about grammar. People seem to be so confused about where to start people want me to number my videos and put them in order I have to tell you sometimes following a strict order isn’t the best way to learn a language.

Now you know that my saying is don’t wait for someone else to educate you. Educate yourself well I’m going to say the same thing again. You need to test yourself. You need to find out where you’re lacking in grammar skills and then you need to fill in the blanks, the order in which you need to study grammar will be very different to the order in which your friend needs to study grammar. I’ve linked a really good website down below if I were you I would go through every single English level from a2 onwards or maybe even a1, and if you get a question wrong or if you get multiple questions wrong you need to review that grammar topic. If you don’t feel completely confident with the grammar you need to revise it you shouldn’t think, oh well, the present simple was the first lesson we ever had when I was 10 years old.

So, I don’t need to do that again I need to learn the conditionals and the subjunctive like a house. You need to have strong foundations this is all about identifying your weak spots and making them strong spots. How can you study effectively if you don’t know where you’re lacking it just doesn’t make sense.

But it always surprises me how few students take this approach to learning grammar so you know what you need to do.

Now click on the link in the description box. Test yourself at every single level and then write down all the topics that you need to do and then study them in order of level and that is the order in which you need to study grammar simple right on to the last topic and possibly the biggest topic it is vocabulary lots of students ask me what vocabulary they should learn?

Well, it all depends on what your goal is with learning English. If you’re learning English simply to pass an exam if that’s your priority. Then your priority should be learning the exam vocabulary most exam boards will have a full list of all of the vocabulary that you need to know up to a certain level.

Make sure you have that list cross out every single word that you immediately recognized, and then condense the list of unrecognized words and study from that.

Now words that are not on your curriculum are likely to pop up and appear in exams this is why you need to read around the subject exams. usually have set topics you might have to talk about holidays you might have to talk about weather you might have to talk about business growth, who knows every single day you need to choose a topic and you need to read an article around it, that will really help you build your topic. Specific vocabulary now what if you were learning English because you want to become fluent.

Not because you want to take an exam in that case the most sensible option for you is to learn vocabulary that you come across in your daily life. now I’ve spoken so many times about the word diary. I mentioned it quickly again.

Now always have a notepad or a phone list handy on you every time you see something and you don’t know how to say it in English. Note it down and then at the end of the day research what they are in English and have that list to study from you should make a habit of contemplating the conversations that you might have that you are likely to have with your peers, your colleagues, your friends, your family and consider the vocabulary that you might need to have successful conversations in those situations.

At work you might be talking about what’s for lunch. You might be talking about timekeeping, you might be talking about meetings, you need to talk about what you’re having for lunch. Go on YouTube and search for what I eat in a day videos that would be a pretty good way of taking in some more vocabulary if you’ve got a friend that likes dog training or something like that watch some dog training videos with subtitles. And try and take in some more vocabulary you’ve got to be so proactive in the way that you approach learning vocabulary because there is so much to learn. Start with what you really need and what you think you’ll be able to practice frequently, and then slowly expand to things that you are less interested in or less likely to use.

Right that’s it for today’s lesson. I hope you enjoyed it and I really hope you learned something.
