people

to practice your english language and i

13
00:00:24.079 --> 00:00:25.518
know speaking

14
00:00:25.518 --> 00:00:27.519
is the hardest part for a lot of

15
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.359
students and by the way

16
00:00:29.359 --> 00:00:31.359

me know what is your main struggle with

18
00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:34.880
the english language right now i

19
00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.640
remember when i was at school and i

20
00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.239
didn't live in the us

21
00:00:38.239 --> 00:00:41.520
i was desperate to find

22
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.000
people to practice my english with and

23
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:45.600
whenever i saw

24
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.559
somebody from abroad i would be like the

25
00:00:48.559 --> 00:00:50.320
first person to talk to them and i'm

26
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:51.199
gonna share

27
00:00:51.199 --> 00:00:53.360
some of the tips that are just common

28
00:00:53.360 --> 00:00:55.360
that other people use as well

29
00:00:55.360 --> 00:00:58.000
so first of all baby well baby teenage

30
00:00:58.000 --> 00:00:58.640
marina

31
00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:02.879
about around 14 years old 14 to 16 years

32
00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:04.080
old this is um

33
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:05.920
the time when i came back from the uk

34
00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:07.760
for the first time and i realized that

35
00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:08.479
my english

36
00:01:08.479 --> 00:01:11.040
is nothing close to native speaker level

37
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:12.640
and i thought i was so proficient like

38
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:13.920
because i started

39
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:15.840
learning english when i was four and

40
00:01:15.840 --> 00:01:17.920
then i went to school

41
00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:19.759
when i was seven where when we had

42
00:01:19.759 --> 00:01:21.840
english every single day and i thought i

43
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.040
am just perfect

44
00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.799
but then i came to the uk i couldn't

45
00:01:24.799 --> 00:01:26.159
understand people people couldn't

46
00:01:26.159 --> 00:01:28.479
understand me it was a complete mess

47
00:01:28.479 --> 00:01:31.040
and i felt really as an outlier because

48
00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.640
i couldn't communicate with people

49
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:34.959
when i came back to russia i told myself

50
00:01:34.959 --> 00:01:35.680
marina

51
00:01:35.680 --> 00:01:37.680
you have to solve this problem marina

52
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:39.520
you have to go out there and practice

53
00:01:39.520 --> 00:01:40.240
english

54
00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:42.880
so number one thing that i did i started

55
00:01:42.880 --> 00:01:44.240
going to museums

56
00:01:44.240 --> 00:01:46.640
in my city and i was lucky to be born

57
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:48.000
and raised in a city called st

58
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:48.799
petersburg

59
00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:50.240
which is one of the best cities in the

60
00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.799
world in terms of architecture and

61
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.720
museums and we have the hermitage and

62
00:01:54.720 --> 00:01:56.240
the hermitage is

63
00:01:56.240 --> 00:01:58.880
this huge museum that has a lot of art

64
00:01:58.880 --> 00:01:59.520
and

65
00:01:59.520 --> 00:02:02.079
it attracts a lot of tourists so i would

66
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:03.360
just go to that museum

67
00:02:03.360 --> 00:02:05.439
and i had a free pass as a russian

68
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:07.680
student so i went into that museum

69
00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:10.080
and i just looked at people who were

70
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.239
confused or like trying to find

71
00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:14.080
their way and i don't know how to

72
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:15.599
explain this but you can always tell

73
00:02:15.599 --> 00:02:17.520
whether a person is russian or

74
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.440
whether a person is a foreigner so i

75
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:21.120
could tell from like

76
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.680
10 meters or 20 meters that i see some

77
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.120
foreigners and they lost

78
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.200
i would just approach them and say hey

79
00:02:27.200 --> 00:02:28.400
do you need any help

80
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:30.239
i was just you know i was desperate to

81
00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:31.760
practice english and this is something

82
00:02:31.760 --> 00:02:32.959
that you can do once

83
00:02:32.959 --> 00:02:34.720
i don't know if museums are open in your

84
00:02:34.720 --> 00:02:36.639
country or if you have any museums in

85
00:02:36.639 --> 00:02:37.599
your city

86
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:40.400
but try that just walk around the museum

87
00:02:40.400 --> 00:02:41.280
look at people

88
00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.280
see tourists approach them and ask them

89
00:02:43.280 --> 00:02:45.040
if they need any help

90
00:02:45.040 --> 00:02:46.639
that helped me a lot and there were a

91
00:02:46.639 --> 00:02:48.879
couple ladies who were lost and then i

92
00:02:48.879 --> 00:02:50.639
showed them the way and we kept walking

93
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:51.919
around the city for

94
00:02:51.919 --> 00:02:53.840
like an hour or so and we kept

95
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:55.519
practicing english so that was really

96
00:02:55.519 --> 00:02:56.080
useful

97
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:58.560
number two another thing that you can do

98
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.400
find a british council or

99
00:03:00.400 --> 00:03:02.879
us consulate or embassy in your country

100
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:04.400
and just write them an email

101
00:03:04.400 --> 00:03:06.480
or reach out to them or see if they have

102
00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:07.519
any events

103
00:03:07.519 --> 00:03:09.280
again depends on the country in my

104
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.680
country russia when i was back at school

105
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:14.159
they had a lot of events for people to

106
00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:15.120
just come over

107
00:03:15.120 --> 00:03:17.360
like british council would have weekly

108
00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:19.120
meetups for people who like english

109
00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:19.840
literature

110
00:03:19.840 --> 00:03:22.319
u.s embassy would have different events

111
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:24.959
like flex which is kind of a competition

112
00:03:24.959 --> 00:03:27.919
where winners can go to the us but even

113
00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:29.760
if you take part in that competition you

114
00:03:29.760 --> 00:03:31.680
get to talk to people from the embassy

115
00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:32.400
americans

116
00:03:32.400 --> 00:03:34.799
and then another thing u.s embassy did

117
00:03:34.799 --> 00:03:37.040
they organized movie nights and again

118
00:03:37.040 --> 00:03:38.319
you could come there

119
00:03:38.319 --> 00:03:40.239
and talk to people and this is what i

120
00:03:40.239 --> 00:03:41.760
did i was

121
00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:44.000
a subscriber on their facebook pages i

122
00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:45.680
was following them everywhere

123
00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:47.440
and whenever i had time to attend the

124
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:49.040
event and again i would just practice

125
00:03:49.040 --> 00:03:51.680
english and these were my favorite types

126
00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:52.959
of events because

127
00:03:52.959 --> 00:03:54.640
you're not just talking to random people

128
00:03:54.640 --> 00:03:56.159
you're talking to people from the

129
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:57.120
embassy

130
00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.840
and they were a huge inspiration for my

131
00:03:59.840 --> 00:04:01.599
future career because i looked at them

132
00:04:01.599 --> 00:04:02.480
and i thought

133
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:04.640
i want to be like those people i want to

134
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:05.920
travel the world

135
00:04:05.920 --> 00:04:09.200
i want to spread my culture around and i

136
00:04:09.200 --> 00:04:10.959
would always ask them like how did you

137
00:04:10.959 --> 00:04:14.239
end up being a consul or how how did you

138
00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:14.799
end up

139
00:04:14.799 --> 00:04:16.799
working in an embassy these are my

140
00:04:16.799 --> 00:04:18.560
favorite types of events so definitely

141
00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:20.479
reach out to those organizations and

142
00:04:20.479 --> 00:04:22.479
definitely follow them everywhere

143
00:04:22.479 --> 00:04:23.919
in terms of like social media and like

144
00:04:23.919 --> 00:04:26.240
stalking follow them on social media and

145
00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:28.720
see what kinds of events they organize

146
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.880
in your city or in your country number

147
00:04:30.880 --> 00:04:33.440
three there are also other types of

148
00:04:33.440 --> 00:04:35.440
clubs and communities for english

149
00:04:35.440 --> 00:04:37.440
speakers i was a part of such a

150
00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.360
community again in saint petersburg

151
00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:41.279
it was a really small community maybe 20

152
00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:43.360
people i was introduced by

153
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:45.759
a friend from school and he attended

154
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.360
their events regularly but basically

155
00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:48.320
what they did

156
00:04:48.320 --> 00:04:50.800
they would invite someone even russian

157
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:51.680
like they would just

158
00:04:51.680 --> 00:04:53.759
invite someone who's good at english to

159
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:54.880
speak about

160
00:04:54.880 --> 00:04:57.520
something so we had a lady who wrote a

161
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:57.919
book

162
00:04:57.919 --> 00:04:59.199
and she was talking about this book in

163
00:04:59.199 --> 00:05:01.839
english oh we had a mayor of edinburgh

164
00:05:01.839 --> 00:05:03.520
who just came to st petersburg he was

165
00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:04.880
talking about edinburgh

166
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:07.199
we had somebody who was translating

167
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:08.880
english books into russian

168
00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:12.320
we had a ceo of a store where they sold

169
00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:13.279
books in english

170
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:15.520
so different interesting people again

171
00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:17.600
holding conversations in english

172
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.360
google something like this you would

173
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:21.440
definitely have something at least

174
00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:23.279
online something that you can attend oh

175
00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:24.320
we're going to talk about online

176
00:05:24.320 --> 00:05:25.199
resources

177
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:27.279
a little later in this video but i want

178
00:05:27.279 --> 00:05:28.880
to focus on offline first

179
00:05:28.880 --> 00:05:30.960
i don't know just i like offline

180
00:05:30.960 --> 00:05:32.479
communication and i've been missing

181
00:05:32.479 --> 00:05:34.080
offline communication a lot

182
00:05:34.080 --> 00:05:37.199
um in the past year when the whole thing

183
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:39.440
started if you think that your english

184
00:05:39.440 --> 00:05:40.479
is not enough

185
00:05:40.479 --> 00:05:42.400
to start speaking first of all you're

186
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:44.560
wrong if you understand this video you

187
00:05:44.560 --> 00:05:45.360
probably have

188
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.960
a lot of knowledge to help you start

189
00:05:46.960 --> 00:05:48.800
speaking but the second thing that you

190
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:50.800
can do is take one of my courses

191
00:05:50.800 --> 00:05:53.839
i have a course that is specifically for

192
00:05:53.839 --> 00:05:54.639
people

193
00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:57.759
probably like you intermediate have a

194
00:05:57.759 --> 00:05:58.560
lot of knowledge

195
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.199
but are afraid to speak we focus a lot

196
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:02.000
on

197
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:04.319
how to actually start speaking we focus

198
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.240
a lot on how to build your

199
00:06:06.240 --> 00:06:08.400
speech that it sounds naturally like all

200
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:10.160
the vocabulary that you can use grammar

201
00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:11.039
that you can use

202
00:06:11.039 --> 00:06:12.720
the course is called intermediate to

203
00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:15.279
advanced it starts every month it lasts

204
00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:17.440
30 days and there you also have groups

205
00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:19.279
where you can communicate with others we

206
00:06:19.279 --> 00:06:20.880
have special chats for people

207
00:06:20.880 --> 00:06:22.800
and this is a great way to find a

208
00:06:22.800 --> 00:06:24.160
speaking buddy and also

209
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:26.479
improve your language skills with me the

210
00:06:26.479 --> 00:06:28.319
classes are pre-recorded so you can take

211
00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:29.520
them from anywhere

212
00:06:29.520 --> 00:06:32.560
anytime you will get tests after every

213
00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:34.000
module so you will be able

214
00:06:34.000 --> 00:06:35.919
to practice whatever you just learned

215
00:06:35.919 --> 00:06:37.680
and i've created this course with a

216
00:06:37.680 --> 00:06:39.360
professional teacher venia

217
00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:41.279
who's also not a native speaker but you

218
00:06:41.279 --> 00:06:43.039
won't be able to tell because

219
00:06:43.039 --> 00:06:45.120
he's just mastering this pronunciation

220
00:06:45.120 --> 00:06:46.800
like he's amazing at that

221
00:06:46.800 --> 00:06:48.240
the link will be below and you will have

222
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.319
a special promo code because you watched

223
00:06:50.319 --> 00:06:52.639
this video the next thing that you can

224
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:54.400
do is go to meetup.com

225
00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:56.080
i don't know if it's available in your

226
00:06:56.080 --> 00:06:58.240
country necessarily but i also know that

227
00:06:58.240 --> 00:06:59.919
even people who come to the us

228
00:06:59.919 --> 00:07:01.919
they struggle to practice english

229
00:07:01.919 --> 00:07:03.919
because they end up living in a

230
00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:05.279
community of

231
00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:07.039
people from their country and i know

232
00:07:07.039 --> 00:07:08.800
there's like a huge community in new

233
00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:10.560
york a huge community of russians

234
00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:12.080
and i was in that neighborhood and

235
00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:13.919
everything is in russia like if you go

236
00:07:13.919 --> 00:07:15.759
to a bank it's bank of america but

237
00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:17.599
everything is in russian and people are

238
00:07:17.599 --> 00:07:19.599
russian uh you know and i know there are

239
00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:20.720
chinatowns there are

240
00:07:20.720 --> 00:07:22.880
india towns and a lot of those smaller

241
00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:23.759
communities

242
00:07:23.759 --> 00:07:25.440
which are great in terms of like when

243
00:07:25.440 --> 00:07:27.039
you come there you feel like at home

244
00:07:27.039 --> 00:07:28.800
but if you're trying to practice english

245
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.319
it might be really hard so

246
00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:32.479
if you are in that situation go to

247
00:07:32.479 --> 00:07:33.680
meetup.com

248
00:07:33.680 --> 00:07:35.759
and see what kinds of events are

249
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:38.160
organized around your area and attend

250
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.840
those events again they're probably all

251
00:07:39.840 --> 00:07:40.960
online right now

252
00:07:40.960 --> 00:07:42.560
but i'm not sure because it depends on

253
00:07:42.560 --> 00:07:44.639
the country where you are in california

254
00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:46.960
almost everything is still online but

255
00:07:46.960 --> 00:07:47.759
the thing is

256
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:50.400
this site meetup.com has a separate page

257
00:07:50.400 --> 00:07:52.160
for people who want to practice

258
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:54.720
languages and they have different groups

259
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:56.160
all over the globe in

260
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:58.160
small and big cities all the links will

261
00:07:58.160 --> 00:07:59.759
be below so you will have all the

262
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:00.560
resources

263
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:02.400
that you can use later on when you

264
00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:04.400
decide to start practicing english and i

265
00:08:04.400 --> 00:08:05.759
hope that you decide

266
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.759
right after this video because practice

267
00:08:07.759 --> 00:08:09.599
makes perfect another thing that i've

268
00:08:09.599 --> 00:08:10.720
seen trending

269
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.360
on different social media like instagram

270
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:14.080
facebook

271
00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:16.160
whatsapp etc especially because i'm an

272
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.199
influencer and i have

273
00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:19.280
get a lot of dms from people like oh can

274
00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:21.120
you practice english with me or

275
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:23.199
if i organize a group i have like a big

276
00:08:23.199 --> 00:08:24.639
telegram channel and

277
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:26.639
some people complained that they became

278
00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:28.479
a part of this telegram channel and they

279
00:08:28.479 --> 00:08:30.240
just got random dms from people who want

280
00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:31.280
to practice english

281
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:33.360
i don't think that's the best idea just

282
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:34.559
reaching out to people

283
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:37.599
and cold texting them like can you

284
00:08:37.599 --> 00:08:39.279
practice english with me because it is a

285
00:08:39.279 --> 00:08:40.320
little weird

286
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.120
it might work and uh i found a friend in

287
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:44.800
germany this way i was just randomly

288
00:08:44.800 --> 00:08:46.399
texting people on skype

289
00:08:46.399 --> 00:08:48.320
to practice german and then we actually

290
00:08:48.320 --> 00:08:50.320
met in person

291
00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:52.559
not a friend but like a person i know

292
00:08:52.559 --> 00:08:54.000
and he was

293
00:08:54.000 --> 00:08:55.519
willing to communicate with me he was

294
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:57.679
the same age and it was kind of

295
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:59.600
okay but this is the only thing that

296
00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:01.519
ever worked for me in terms of like cold

297
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:02.320
texting people

298
00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.640
what you can do is you can join ielts

299
00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:07.360
and toefl groups on facebook and

300
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:09.360
whatsapp or whatever you're able to find

301
00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:11.120
in your country and your city or

302
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.720
whatever you're able to find online

303
00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:13.279
because

304
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.279
when people are preparing for toefl and

305
00:09:15.279 --> 00:09:17.600
ielts they tend to be more serious

306
00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:19.600
their english language skills tend to be

307
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:21.440
better and this would enhance

308
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:23.360
your experience there are also some

309
00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:24.720
other apps that were created

310
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:28.160
necessarily for finding a speaking buddy

311
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:31.920
the apps are speak native open talk

312
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:34.800
speaky halo and there are many others

313
00:09:34.800 --> 00:09:36.000
from all the platforms

314
00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:38.000
i really like speak native just because

315
00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:39.279
you have to create an

316
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:41.839
introductory video about yourself before

317
00:09:41.839 --> 00:09:43.679
you start communicating with others and

318
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:44.958
that really helps

319
00:09:44.958 --> 00:09:46.800
you determine whether you want to talk

320
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:48.080
to that person because

321
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:49.839
you want to see their level of english

322
00:09:49.839 --> 00:09:51.600
their interests etc

323
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.120
and when you have this introductory

324
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:55.600
video it really helps okay the next cool

325
00:09:55.600 --> 00:09:56.640
thing that you can do

326
00:09:56.640 --> 00:09:59.440
is join clubhouse clubhouse is this new

327
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.279
app that is taking off like crazy in

328
00:10:01.279 --> 00:10:02.399
silicon valley

329
00:10:02.399 --> 00:10:04.559
millions of users the only problem with

330
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:06.160
it right now is that you can only get in

331
00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:08.240
by getting an invite from someone else i

332
00:10:08.240 --> 00:10:09.920
only have two invites from clubhouse and

333
00:10:09.920 --> 00:10:10.800
i already

334
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:12.720
given away one of them so you really

335
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:14.240
need to be active on clubhouse to

336
00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:15.519
generate those invites

337
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:16.800
basically if you have friends that are

338
00:10:16.800 --> 00:10:19.040
in clubhouse ask them or maybe just ask

339
00:10:19.040 --> 00:10:20.880
around on social media if anyone can

340
00:10:20.880 --> 00:10:21.360
give you an

341
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.519
invite but basically clubhouse is this

342
00:10:23.519 --> 00:10:25.440
app i'm gonna demonstrate

343
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.360
so basically it's this app where you

344
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:29.279
have many rooms that you can join

345
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.958
and listen to conversations and

346
00:10:30.958 --> 00:10:32.720
sometimes you can participate like

347
00:10:32.720 --> 00:10:36.000
i don't know fintech europe a lower

348
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:38.078
barrier entry to some of their products

349
00:10:38.078 --> 00:10:39.279
especially if they're

350
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:41.600
you know so expensive products they're

351
00:10:41.600 --> 00:10:43.440
basically just people talking about

352
00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:44.958
different topics and you can

353
00:10:44.958 --> 00:10:47.360
it's it's kind of participating in a

354
00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:49.120
live panel and you're in the audience

355
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:50.880
but sometimes you can raise hand and ask

356
00:10:50.880 --> 00:10:51.600
questions

357
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.160
so that is taking off like crazy and

358
00:10:54.160 --> 00:10:55.920
there are already some groups for

359
00:10:55.920 --> 00:10:58.399
uh people who want to practice languages

360
00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:00.480
so definitely join clubhouse

361
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.880
let's talk a little more about offline

362
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:04.559
so whenever you're planning your next

363
00:11:04.559 --> 00:11:05.360
travel

364
00:11:05.360 --> 00:11:07.120
think about taking a language course

365
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:08.720
instead of just being a tourist

366
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:11.440
and i've been promoting this for years

367
00:11:11.440 --> 00:11:11.920
i'm

368
00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:14.480
a product of language travel my company

369
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:16.240

travel around the world and book courses

all over the world

372
00:11:19.279 --> 00:11:21.600
so if you are thinking of going to the

373
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:24.000
uk or canada or another english-speaking

374
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:26.240
country just make your research because

375
00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:28.320
whenever i compared like staying at a

376
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:29.600
hotel versus

377
00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.360
taking a course and staying at a local

378
00:11:31.360 --> 00:11:32.640
host family

379
00:11:32.640 --> 00:11:34.559
the second option is always cheaper

380
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:36.720
because it is a student option you get

381
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:37.760
student rates

382
00:11:37.760 --> 00:11:39.920
and you get to practice english a lot

383
00:11:39.920 --> 00:11:41.600
you get to communicate with students

384
00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:43.360
from all over the world and of course

385
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:44.880
you get to communicate with native

386
00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.480
speakers because all the teachers and

387
00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:48.078
schools are native speakers

388
00:11:48.078 --> 00:11:50.399
the link will be below another thing

389
00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:51.519
that you can do

390
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:53.360
i don't know if you want to do it but i

391
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:55.440
did it just calling american companies

392
00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:57.120
again you can get a viber app

393
00:11:57.120 --> 00:11:59.679
maybe pay like a couple dollars to to

394
00:11:59.679 --> 00:12:01.120
make calls and you will get like

395
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:02.880
unlimited calls for a month

396
00:12:02.880 --> 00:12:04.800
and just call american companies and ask

397
00:12:04.800 --> 00:12:06.958
them like if you're dreaming of going

398
00:12:06.958 --> 00:12:09.600
to new york and staying at this hotel

399
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:10.160
where they

400
00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:12.399
shot home alone if you want to stay in

401
00:12:12.399 --> 00:12:14.160
the hotel just call them and ask like

402
00:12:14.160 --> 00:12:14.720

403
00:12:14.720 --> 00:12:16.800

404
00:12:16.800 --> 00:12:17.760

406
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:22.160
a discount like just just that kind of

407
00:12:22.160 --> 00:12:22.559
thing

408
00:12:22.559 --> 00:12:25.040
it is their job to answer and who knows

409
00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:26.399

410
00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.559
