episode hi Daniel welcome to the show hi
Lisa thanks for having me I'm so excited
to be here and share some practical tips
with everyone great to have you let's
get started with a question that's
probably on everyone's mind is it really
possible to learn English fast
absolutely Lisa with the right methods
and mindset anyone can speed up their
learning but remember it's not just
about speed it's about consistency and
making learning a part of your daily
life that sounds promising let's dive
into those tips in the next section So
Daniel what's the first tip you'd give
to someone who wants to learn English
quickly my first tip is immersion
surround yourself with English as much
as possible for example change your
phone's language to English watch movies
or TV shows with subtitles and listen to
English music or
podcasts that's a great start I remember
when I was learning French I watched
cartoons because the language was
simpler and easier to understand exactly
Lisa and it's important to choose
content that matches your level if
you're a beginner stick to simple shows
or even children's books as you improve
you can move on to more complex
material what about speaking many
Learners struggle with confidence you're
right speaking can be intimidating my
advice is to start small talk to
yourself in English describe your day
your plans or even what you're cooking
it's a great way to practice without
feeling judged that's brilliant I also
think finding a language partner can
help absolutely apps like hello talk or
tandem are great for connecting with
native speakers or other Learners even a
short daily conversation can make a big
difference what about grammar should
Learners focus on it early grammar is
important but don't let it slow you down
focus on communication first for
instance if you say I go to store
yesterday people will understand you
even if it's not perfect as you gain
confidence you can refine your
grammar that's so encouraging do do you
have any tips for improving
vocabulary yes learn words in context
not in
isolation for example instead of just
memorizing the word buy learn phrases
like I want to buy a new book or where
can I buy coffee this makes it easier to
use the words in real life
situations speaking of real life what's
a common mistake Learners make one big
mistake is fearing mistakes making
errors is natural part of learning for
example I had a student who was afraid
to speak because she thought her accent
wasn't good enough but once she started
practicing her confidence grew and her
fluency improved that's so inspiring any
final tips before we move on yes stay
consistent even 10 minutes a day is
better than doing nothing create a
routine maybe listen to a podcast during
breakfast or read an article before bed
little habits add up over time
that's excellent Daniel let's go deeper
into practical strategies for example
what role does writing play in learning
English writing is a fantastic way to
reinforce what you learn it helps you
think about grammar and vocabulary more
carefully start with something simple
like keeping a Daily Journal in English
write about your day your feelings or
your plans it doesn't have to be perfect
it's all about
practice I love that idea writing can
also help you identify gaps in your
knowledge for instance if you're trying
to describe an event but don't know the
right words it shows you what to focus
on exactly and you can take it further
by sharing your writing with others join
online forums or communities where you
can post your work and get feedback
websites like Lan correct are great for
this what about reading how can Learners
make the most of it reading is a
powerful tool for expanding your
vocabulary and understanding sentence
structure start with materials that
interest you maybe articles about your
hobbies or short stories if you come
across new words write them down and
look them up later but don't stop to
translate every single word focus on
understanding the overall meaning that's
a good point I think many Learners feel
they need to understand every word to
make
progress that's a common
misconception even native speakers don't
know every word they read the goal is to
get comfortable with the language not to
memorize every detail speaking of goals
how important is goal setting in
learning
English it's crucial having clear
achievable goals keeps you motivated for
example instead of saying I want to be
fluent set specific targets like I will
learn 10 new words this week or I will
have a 5minute conversation in English
every day that's so prac practical and
what about listening skills any tips for
improving them listening is one of the
most important skills and the best way
to improve is through exposure listen to
podcasts audiob books or even news
programs in English don't worry if you
don't understand everything at first
focus on picking up keywords and the
overall context over time your
comprehension will improve that's
wonderful advice let's move on to our
fun fact section now
[Music]
now Daniel it's time for our funf fact
section did you know that English has
the largest vocabulary of any language
with over a million words that's
fascinating no wonder Learners sometimes
feel overwhelmed true but here's the
good news you only need about 2,000 to
3,000 words to understand most everyday
conversations that's right and many of
those words are used repeatedly for
example words like get make and go are
incredibly versatile and appear in
countless phrases so for Learners
focusing on the most common words is a
smart
strategy exactly it's all about working
smarter not
[Music]
