okay so

90
00:04:02.720 --> 00:04:04.879
i would like to start on how i

91
00:04:04.879 --> 00:04:07.439
was able to know your course so

92
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:10.400
there was a facebook group in

93
00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:12.319
i mean there's a facebook group for

94
00:04:12.319 --> 00:04:14.959
nurses who are really aiming like to go

95
00:04:14.959 --> 00:04:16.959
in the united states

96
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:19.199
so

97
00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:22.720
we know that we need to take ielts so

98
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:26.400
from that facebook group i saw that

99
00:04:26.400 --> 00:04:29.199
so many nurses were recommending your

100
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:32.080
course or and some others if they're

101
00:04:32.080 --> 00:04:34.320
telling uh they're telling us also on

102
00:04:34.320 --> 00:04:36.479
that post that um

103
00:04:36.479 --> 00:04:38.400
you are like uh

104
00:04:38.400 --> 00:04:40.960
have this youtube videos that we can

105
00:04:40.960 --> 00:04:43.680
also check before getting into the

106
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:46.560
course so i really checked you out and i

107
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:47.520
really

108
00:04:47.520 --> 00:04:50.720
like your videos because i know it's um

109
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.000
but i mean um when i saw your videos i

110
00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:56.800
i was really like hook on your videos

111
00:04:56.800 --> 00:04:59.919
because i was like able to learn

112
00:04:59.919 --> 00:05:02.560
you know the chunks the collocations and

113
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:05.120
all of that that i never heard before so

114
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.400
like oh my god i need to see this guy i

115
00:05:08.400 --> 00:05:11.039
need to enroll on his um

116
00:05:11.039 --> 00:05:12.800
on his course

117
00:05:12.800 --> 00:05:13.759
and

118
00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:15.440
i think that's what that is one of the

119
00:05:15.440 --> 00:05:17.039
greatest decisions that i have made to

120
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.400
enroll on your course and it really

121
00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:19.520
helped me

122
00:05:19.520 --> 00:05:23.199
wow gosh that's great i'm i feel very

123
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.839
and very very happy about that

124
00:05:25.839 --> 00:05:28.560
but it was a big big help um that's

125
00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:30.479
excellent so you you discovered me

126
00:05:30.479 --> 00:05:32.639
through youtube and then you took the

127
00:05:32.639 --> 00:05:34.880
course i think you took several courses

128
00:05:34.880 --> 00:05:37.039
if i remember rightly right you signed

129
00:05:37.039 --> 00:05:39.680
up for the fluency course as well

130
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:42.080
yes i i i took your three the three

131
00:05:42.080 --> 00:05:44.080
courses okay

132
00:05:44.080 --> 00:05:46.400
it was

133
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:51.759
it was a good decision also taking alice

134
00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:54.880
um i know alice chorus also because it

135
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:57.919
helped me but i i really didn't do well

136
00:05:57.919 --> 00:06:00.720
in writing i mean um as i was expecting

137
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:02.080
because i didn't

138
00:06:02.080 --> 00:06:04.800
finish the course right right

139
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:06.080
that's interesting because it's the

140
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.240
biggest challenge for a lot of students

141
00:06:08.240 --> 00:06:11.360
is although there are so many materials

142
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:13.759
it's how do you find time

143
00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:16.240
to actually study and practice

144
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:19.039
especially right you're a work well i i

145
00:06:19.039 --> 00:06:20.960
don't know if before you were working

146
00:06:20.960 --> 00:06:22.560
but even

147
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.680
organizing your time how do you

148
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:26.880
um

149
00:06:26.880 --> 00:06:28.560
how do you organize your time so that

150
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:30.800
you have a study time and a practice

151
00:06:30.800 --> 00:06:33.800
time

152
00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:39.759
yes um um for me it was really hard even

153
00:06:39.759 --> 00:06:42.000
i'm not currently working i am taking

154
00:06:42.000 --> 00:06:44.479
care of my three kids right now so it's

155
00:06:44.479 --> 00:06:47.360
very hard yeah three kids

156
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:49.599
and one is going on like i mean they

157
00:06:49.599 --> 00:06:52.800
have um he is an online class so i i am

158
00:06:52.800 --> 00:06:55.599
like the whole day is really you know

159
00:06:55.599 --> 00:06:59.520
um occupied already so i really make

160
00:06:59.520 --> 00:07:01.360
time so when i'm doing the household

161
00:07:01.360 --> 00:07:05.120
chores i am listening to your courses

162
00:07:05.120 --> 00:07:06.240
and

163
00:07:06.240 --> 00:07:08.240
i really took your advice that you know

164
00:07:08.240 --> 00:07:11.680
it's not good that you do cramming

165
00:07:11.680 --> 00:07:12.639
um

166
00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:14.840
little by little i mean

167
00:07:14.840 --> 00:07:17.919
from that the the important thing is you

168
00:07:17.919 --> 00:07:20.160
need to like um

169
00:07:20.160 --> 00:07:23.039
have a time like even at 30 minutes time

170
00:07:23.039 --> 00:07:26.080
in a day but uh the consist consistency

171
00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:28.720
is what is important like like you have

172
00:07:28.720 --> 00:07:31.919
30 minutes today and then then tomorrow

173
00:07:31.919 --> 00:07:34.160
and then the the next day you just have

174
00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.120
to be consistent um because you know you

175
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:39.360
cannot have any excuses that oh i don't

176
00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:41.759
have time today because you can five

177
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.560
minutes and for 10 minutes listening

178
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:46.000
is is okay

179
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:48.639
better than zero i mean that's that's

180
00:07:48.639 --> 00:07:50.560
that's what how i did it

181
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:53.199
fantastic i i totally agree that being

182
00:07:53.199 --> 00:07:56.240
persistent consistent is is much better

183
00:07:56.240 --> 00:07:59.440
than cramming for seven hours in one day

184
00:07:59.440 --> 00:08:00.639
in the week

185
00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:02.400
totally agree

186
00:08:02.400 --> 00:08:04.319
that's great and um

187
00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:06.800
i mean looking back now what

188
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:09.840
tips or advice would you give ielts

189
00:08:09.840 --> 00:08:12.160
students starting out with their

190
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:14.800
preparation

191
00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:20.639
okay um

192
00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:23.440
one thing is to really take this course

193
00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:28.959
because it is organized in a way that um

194
00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:31.599
we don't need to plan ahead what are we

195
00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:34.240
going to watch or what are we going to

196
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:35.679
study for the day

197
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:38.880
um because as i've said i i've seen your

198
00:08:38.880 --> 00:08:41.679
videos in youtube but it was like

199
00:08:41.679 --> 00:08:43.519
oh where should i start from here

200
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.440
because it's a lot and i really want to

201
00:08:45.440 --> 00:08:47.200
see all your videos

202
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.839
but signing up in a course like this it

203
00:08:49.839 --> 00:08:52.958
is much less of a hassle for me um that

204
00:08:52.958 --> 00:08:56.320
i cannot i cannot plan on my i mean i

205
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:58.720
cannot organize it on my own and with

206
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:00.800
this it's like

207
00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:03.519
the videos will just flow

208
00:09:03.519 --> 00:09:06.800
i mean in more systematically way in a

209
00:09:06.800 --> 00:09:08.880
more systematic way so

210
00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:10.720
there's nothing for me like to worry

211
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:13.600
about organizing this videos and i like

212
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:14.880
how you

213
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.360
how you

214
00:09:18.958 --> 00:09:21.120
intro introduce the course and what

215
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.519
should i expect on that course and and

216
00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:24.640
also

217
00:09:24.640 --> 00:09:26.880
what i did before i even started this

218
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:29.679
course i looked through all your courses

219
00:09:29.679 --> 00:09:33.200
and i tried to print all those um

220
00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:34.559
downloadable

221
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:38.399
stuffs and also the i mean even the mp3s

222
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:40.800
i try to download it and i organize it

223
00:09:40.800 --> 00:09:42.559
in my

224
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:46.000
um computer so that i can easily

225
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.839
access them whenever i need it because

226
00:09:47.839 --> 00:09:50.160
sometimes if like i cannot listen but i

227
00:09:50.160 --> 00:09:53.519
can read so i'm just going through it

228
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.480
and then i i really stick to

229
00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:59.279
a schedule that even i don't follow that

230
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.519
time i mean for example i like i want to

231
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.640
study every night in the evening

232
00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:06.640
but sometimes you know if you're taking

233
00:10:06.640 --> 00:10:09.200
care of kids you can not really follow

234
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:11.679
your own schedule right so

235
00:10:11.679 --> 00:10:14.880
i i just really um

236
00:10:14.880 --> 00:10:17.360
stick to my i mean stick to my

237
00:10:17.360 --> 00:10:20.160
the the routine that i really have to

238
00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:23.200
allocate a time each day

239
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:25.440
whether it's five minutes or ten minutes

240
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.679
but i see to it that i i give a time

241
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.600
like 30 minutes minimum to an hour and i

242
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.120
i don't um pressure myself too much like

243
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:37.440
i don't want to listen like two hours

244
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.160
three hours five hours because you know

245
00:10:40.160 --> 00:10:42.559
i cannot absorb it and the more i took

246
00:10:42.559 --> 00:10:45.839
it like longer time to study it's like i

247
00:10:45.839 --> 00:10:48.480
cannot you know i'm not learning that

248
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:50.480
much i'm not absorbing what you are

249
00:10:50.480 --> 00:10:52.720
trying to teach me but you know if you

250
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:54.559
are relaxed and you're just focused like

251
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.360
you're thinking like you have 30 minutes

252
00:10:57.360 --> 00:10:58.958
an hour

253
00:10:58.958 --> 00:11:01.519
yeah that's it that you know you you

254
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:02.880
learn more

255
00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:03.920
yeah

256
00:11:03.920 --> 00:11:06.078
that's great i mean that's i do the same

257
00:11:06.078 --> 00:11:07.440
i do the same if i'm going to study

258
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.679
something i'll try and do 10 minutes a

259
00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:10.480
day

260
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.958
and usually after 10 minutes i feel oh i

261
00:11:12.958 --> 00:11:15.760
can do a bit more and i feel good

262
00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:17.839
but if i set a plan of an hour a day and

263
00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:20.480
i only do half an hour i feel bad

264
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:21.200
so

265
00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:22.958
i think that's a really good idea to do

266
00:11:22.958 --> 00:11:24.399
it like that

267
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.399
and i'm curious about

268
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.559
practice as well how did you practice

269
00:11:28.559 --> 00:11:30.399
because some students just practice on

270
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.559
their own other students find a speaking

271
00:11:32.559 --> 00:11:35.600
partner um others look for a teacher to

272
00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.518
give correction how did you practice

273
00:11:43.279 --> 00:11:44.559
okay um

274
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:47.279
well with practicing um

275
00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:50.000
i really try to engage with your course

276
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:51.519
when you say

277
00:11:51.519 --> 00:11:54.320
pause it so i will just try to pause it

278
00:11:54.320 --> 00:11:57.040
at first so that i can like

279
00:11:57.040 --> 00:11:58.720
i don't have really the speaking partner

280
00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:00.958
but when i talk to a friend even that

281
00:12:00.958 --> 00:12:03.120
like we have this native language of art

282
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:04.958
i'm just like telling her oh let me

283
00:12:04.958 --> 00:12:06.559
speak in english because my exam is

284
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:07.760
really

285
00:12:07.760 --> 00:12:10.320
quite near so i really and i'm happy

286
00:12:10.320 --> 00:12:12.240
like we are conversing in english and

287
00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:13.360
like okay

288
00:12:13.360 --> 00:12:16.559
and one time i had a conversation with a

289
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:18.880
good friend of mine but he's an actually

290
00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:20.800
an italian-american

291
00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:23.279
so he was like diane i

292
00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:25.760
i don't understand what you said like

293
00:12:25.760 --> 00:12:28.320
you're taking it as like a positive

294
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.240
thing that someone is like very

295
00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:31.679
concerned to you like

296
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.760
um because for some people they will

297
00:12:33.760 --> 00:12:35.519
maybe feel offended that they are

298
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:38.000
correcting you but for me because i i'm

299
00:12:38.000 --> 00:12:40.800
really like i really need your comment i

300
00:12:40.800 --> 00:12:42.639
really need this because you know i need

301
00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.040
to improve myself because even now that

302
00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:46.958
i passed the ielts exam like what i've

303
00:12:46.958 --> 00:12:49.519
said to you i really need to continue

304
00:12:49.519 --> 00:12:51.519
learning english so that you know

305
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:52.399
because

306
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:55.200
while i am speaking i am consciously you

307
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:57.920
know thinking oh is my grammar correct

308
00:12:57.920 --> 00:13:00.000
is how i pronounce it correct because i

309
00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:01.760
know i i really

310
00:13:01.760 --> 00:13:04.000
have to work a lot of things on my

311
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.240
english language because sometimes his

312
00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:09.040
comment will be diane um i cannot

313
00:13:09.040 --> 00:13:11.360
understand what you said was that food

314
00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:14.480
or food like i was like really asking

315
00:13:14.480 --> 00:13:17.600
like how did you say food and food is

316
00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.839
there any problem with the food no i was

317
00:13:19.839 --> 00:13:21.760
telling about my food

318
00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:24.399
oh you are telling i was like oh my god

319
00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:26.000
and then he was like telling oh you have

320
00:13:26.000 --> 00:13:28.399
to say this and your tongue is like so i

321
00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:30.320
was like telling him oh i don't know how

322
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:32.559
to say that but i'm really really lucky

323
00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.120
that i have a friend like that because

324
00:13:35.120 --> 00:13:37.200
here in america so everybody speaks

325
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:40.160
english and i'm like i'm afraid to speak

326
00:13:40.160 --> 00:13:42.399
because i'm afraid that they will not

327
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.720
understand me but thinking that they

328
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.880
will not understand me the more that you

329
00:13:46.880 --> 00:13:49.440
cannot express yourself so

330
00:13:49.440 --> 00:13:51.199
you have to relax your mind you have to

331
00:13:51.199 --> 00:13:52.078
like

332
00:13:52.078 --> 00:13:53.839
do not think of those distractions

333
00:13:53.839 --> 00:13:55.519
because the more you think of it the

334
00:13:55.519 --> 00:13:57.760
more you cannot expect express yourself

335
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.519
and the more they cannot understand you

336
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.839
because you yourself you are already you

337
00:14:01.839 --> 00:14:04.800
know um limiting yourself so be

338
00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:07.040
confident and you know you practice

339
00:14:07.040 --> 00:14:08.800
every day because you know

340
00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:11.679
as the saying goes no practice makes

341
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:12.958
perfect

342
00:14:12.958 --> 00:14:15.120
yeah yeah absolutely that's great i

343
00:14:15.120 --> 00:14:17.040
think you've got a great mindset i mean

344
00:14:17.040 --> 00:14:19.760
i'm not surprised you did so well um

345
00:14:19.760 --> 00:14:21.199
because we do

346
00:14:21.199 --> 00:14:23.120
learn through our mistakes and when

347
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:25.360
people correct us we need to be open to

348
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.880
those corrections

349
00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:29.760
um and then yeah trying not to think i

350
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:31.440
think people get nervous because they

351
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:33.360
think too much as you said and if you

352
00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.440
can almost stop talking and just

353
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:37.279
just try and speak out and then don't

354
00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:39.519
worry if if there are mistakes if people

355
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.240
correct you then that's fine i mean i

356
00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:43.920
know people get nervous for the test but

357
00:14:43.920 --> 00:14:46.800
in the practice it's so important to get

358
00:14:46.800 --> 00:14:47.920
um

359
00:14:47.920 --> 00:14:49.920
to relax and if you can get somebody to

360
00:14:49.920 --> 00:14:51.920
give you feedback like your italian

361
00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:54.000
american friend that's great right

362
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:55.519
because because then you make progress

363
00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:57.519
you you realize

364
00:14:57.519 --> 00:15:00.480
very happy as interesting

365
00:15:00.480 --> 00:15:02.720
so next steps for you i mean moving

366
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:06.000
forward you've got your test result your

367
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:08.959

culture from uh from the philippines

393
00:16:05.600 --> 00:16:06.800
right

394
00:16:06.800 --> 00:16:08.959
yes it's it's quite different but i'm

395
00:16:08.959 --> 00:16:12.320
really enjoying um because the

396
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.680
so far so good the the people around is

397
00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:18.959
um are very friendly i really find it uh

398
00:16:18.959 --> 00:16:21.199
really good and the weather is like just

399
00:16:21.199 --> 00:16:23.199
the philippines you know

400
00:16:23.199 --> 00:16:26.560
the tropical yeah that's why

401
00:16:26.560 --> 00:16:28.800
because i'm just staying most of the

402
00:16:28.800 --> 00:16:32.160
time at home so i really i'm really not

403
00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:34.639
still and you know getting the

404
00:16:34.639 --> 00:16:37.199
american vibe or the american culture

405
00:16:37.199 --> 00:16:40.079
because i'm just at home and you know

406
00:16:40.079 --> 00:16:41.279
i'm not

407
00:16:41.279 --> 00:16:42.399
i'm not

408
00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:45.519
uh what they call this um

409
00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.480
seeing a lot of people yeah emerging

410
00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:50.720
other people yeah

411
00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:52.320
it's interesting i mean my experience as

412
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:55.279
well of living abroad and working abroad

413
00:16:55.279 --> 00:16:57.759
is once you start working it's much

414
00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:00.320
easier to get deeper into the culture

415
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:02.800
through contacts and engaging with

416
00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:05.280
people in different contexts um that

417
00:17:05.280 --> 00:17:07.600
that does help a lot for sure

00:17:07.600 --> 00:17:09.119

of because i took the nclex exam like

446
00:18:15.760 --> 00:18:17.760
that it's gonna happen again with ielts

447
00:18:17.760 --> 00:18:20.480

448
00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.480
that fluent in english you know i can

449
00:18:22.480 --> 00:18:24.720
