Hey everybody, welcome to my English Podcast! 00:01
You can use this video to train your listening and comprehension as I speak 00:05
whether you're practicing during the day 00:10
listening before you sleep, while you clean, or even while you get ready 00:13
brush your teeth, or brush your hair. 00:18
Listen whenever it works for you. You ready? Let’s get started! 00:22
Today, I’m going to talk about language learning. 00:30
If you are watching this video, you are probably learning English. 00:35
So, I think this topic will be interesting and helpful for you. 00:39
Learning a new language is not easy. 00:44
It takes time. It takes effort. It takes practice. 00:47
You need to study a lot. 00:52
You need to practice many times. 00:54
This is the most important thing about learning a language: 00:57
you must spend time. 01:02
If you don’t spend time studying and practicing English 01:05
you will not improve. You will not learn. 01:09
So remember: learning a language takes time. 01:14
Be patient. Keep going. 01:18
I am a language teacher. I teach English. 01:20
But I am also a language learner. I also learn new languages. 01:24
Why? Because I enjoy it. It’s fun for me. 01:29
I love learning about other people and other cultures. 01:34
And the best part? I can talk to people from many countries. 01:38
When you learn another language, you can meet new people. 01:42
You can make new friends. 01:47
You can talk to people from around the world. 01:49
This is amazing! 01:52
But let me be honest with you—language learning is not always fun. 01:56
Sometimes, it is difficult. 02:01
Sometimes, I feel sad. Sometimes, I feel frustrated. 02:04
Why? Because I don’t understand everything. 02:08
Because I make mistakes. Because I feel nervous. 02:12
Yes, I feel nervous when I speak in another language. 02:16
This is normal. This is okay. 02:20
You might feel the same. 02:23
Maybe you feel shy or scared when you speak English. 02:25
Don’t worry. This is normal. 02:30
Many people feel like this—even language teachers! 02:33
Sometimes, I make big mistakes when I speak in another language. 02:37
I say the wrong word. I use the wrong grammar. 02:42
My pronunciation is not perfect. 02:46
But guess what? This is part of learning. 02:49
Everyone makes mistakes. If you never make mistakes, you will not learn. 02:52
To improve, you need to make mistakes. 02:58
To get better, you need to practice. 03:02
You need to speak. 03:05
You need to try. 03:07
And most importantly — you need to have fun. 03:08
So don’t worry about your mistakes. Don’t be afraid. 03:13
Enjoy English. Have fun with English. 03:18
If you don’t have fun, it will be harder to learn. 03:22
Now, let me give you some easy tips to make English more fun: 03:27
tip No1: Read books in English that you enjoy. 03:32
don't read boring books 03:37
Don’t read boring books. Read books that are interesting for you. 03:39
If you like sports, read English books about sports. 03:43
If you like animals, read books about animals. 03:47
If you like technology, read books about new inventions or science. 03:51
I love reading fiction. 03:57
Fiction means stories that are not real. 03:59
I read fiction books in other languages. 04:03
This helps me enjoy reading and learn at the same time. 04:06
tip No. 2: Watch videos in English about topics you like. 04:11
For example, if you love fashion, watch YouTube videos about fashion — in English. 04:16
If you love cars, watch car videos in English. 04:23
If you like cooking, watch cooking videos in English. 04:28
This is a great way to learn: 04:32
you can pick up new words, hear how people speak, and enjoy the video! 04:35
tip No. 3: Make friends who speak English — or who are learning English. 04:42
I know it’s not easy to make new friends. 04:49
But if you find people to talk to, your English will get better faster. 04:52
You can join an English practice group in your city. 04:58
You can also visit a website like meetup.com 05:02
where you’ll find groups of people who want to practice English together. 05:07
If you talk to other learners, you will feel better. 05:12
You will feel more confident. You will learn faster. 05:17
That’s it for today! 05:24
I hope this video helped you and gave you some motivation to keep going. 05:26

Rainy Day Vibes 05:45
Today, I want to tell you about six things I like to do on a rainy day. 05:48
When it rains, the sky is gray, and everything is wet outside. 05:54
Sometimes it feels sad or quiet. 05:59
But there are many nice things you can do on a rainy day to feel happy and warm. 06:03
1. Reading a good book. 06:10
Reading is one of my favorite things to do when it rains. 06:13
Why? Because when it’s dark and rainy outside 06:18
a good book can make me feel better. 06:22
It helps me forget the bad weather. 06:24
I sit down, relax, and read. It feels cozy and peaceful. 06:27
One of my favorite books to read on a rainy day is Jane Eyre. 06:34
It’s a famous book with a strong and interesting story. I really enjoy it. 06:39
2. Visiting with friends. 06:46
Sometimes on a rainy day, I go to my friend’s house. 06:49
Or my friend comes to my house. 06:53
We sit outside on the porch — that’s the covered area in front of the house. 06:56
Even if it’s raining, we can sit there and stay dry. 07:01
We talk about our lives — what’s new, what’s happening. 07:05
And we drink something warm, like tea or hot cocoa. 07:10
It feels really nice to talk and relax with a good friend. 07:15
3. I enjoy going to the movies. 07:20
Another thing I like is going to the movie theater. 07:24
When it’s raining, it’s a perfect time to watch movies. 07:27
Sometimes we stay at the theater for the whole day! 07:31
We watch two or three movies, maybe long ones. 07:35
It’s fun to be inside, watching stories, while the rain falls outside. 07:39
It feels like a little adventure — without getting wet. 07:46
4. Redecorating my home. 07:52
When I don’t feel like going outside in the rain, I stay home. 07:55
And sometimes, I use this time to redecorate my house. 07:59
That means I move things around — like the sofa, chairs, and tables. 08:04
I also put pictures back on the wall or change how the room looks. 08:10
I can’t change the weather, but I can change how my home feels. 08:15
This makes the rainy day more fun and creative. 08:20
5. Taking a quiet drive. 08:25
If the rain is not too heavy, I sometimes go for a long drive. 08:28
I drive on backroads — these are small, quiet roads with not many cars. 08:34
I don’t go fast. I just drive slowly and watch the rain. 08:40
I look at the trees, the sky, and the houses. 08:45
The rain makes everything look beautiful and calm. 08:49
It’s a peaceful way to enjoy the day. 08:53
6. Baking something warm and tasty. 08:56
The last thing I love to do on a rainy day is bake. 09:01
I cook something warm and delicious, like a cake or a roast 09:05
(a big meal with meat and vegetables). 09:10
The smell of food fills the house. It feels warm, cozy, and happy. 09:13
Cooking on a rainy day helps me feel better 09:20
it makes the house feel full of life and love. 09:23
So those are six things I enjoy on a rainy day: 09:28
Reading a good book 09:32
Visiting with friends 09:34
Going to the movies 09:36
Redecorating my home 09:38
Taking a quiet drive 09:40
