WEBVTT FILE 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.600 hey guys welcome to this new video on 2 00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:04.319 lingo arena today we're gonna talk about 3 00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:06.799 learning english by watching other 4 00:00:06.799 --> 00:00:09.200 people's videos and let me show you 5 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:11.360 something now if you think 6 00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:12.320 that 7 00:00:12.320 --> 00:00:15.759 after living for six years in the us 8 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:17.840 i know everything in english 9 00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:20.640 oh you're wrong i have this note that is 10 00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.800 right now called expressions but i give 11 00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:24.400 it different names every time i start a 12 00:00:24.400 --> 00:00:26.320 new note this is basically every new 13 00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.160 phrase or word 14 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.560 that i've been hearing around like i 15 00:00:30.560 --> 00:00:32.719 don't write everything down when i hear 16 00:00:32.719 --> 00:00:34.079 it for the first time somebody says 17 00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:35.520 something 18 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.760 it doesn't make sense to just grab your 19 00:00:37.760 --> 00:00:39.440 notes right away and write things down 20 00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:40.800 because if you're 21 00:00:40.800 --> 00:00:43.280 listening to a complicated conversation 22 00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:45.520 which includes a lot of advanced wars 23 00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:48.000 this just takes away all the interest 24 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:50.320 from watching it but for example if i'm 25 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:52.320 watching a netflix show and i hear 26 00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.680 something like jack of all trades and i 27 00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.000 know i've heard it many times i double 28 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.800 check it with google what it means etc 29 00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:03.920 and i try to start using it so jack of 30 00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:06.479 all trades is now here for me to start 31 00:01:06.479 --> 00:01:08.240 using this phrase or 32 00:01:08.240 --> 00:01:11.360 to be predicated on it's a home run 33 00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:13.360 lovey-dovey it's something i heard 34 00:01:13.360 --> 00:01:15.438 watching the kardashians i've been sick 35 00:01:15.438 --> 00:01:17.520 for the past couple weeks and 36 00:01:17.520 --> 00:01:20.000 all i could do is watch shows and videos 37 00:01:20.000 --> 00:01:22.400 so watch the kardashians by the way i'm 38 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:24.159 also writing them down because i want to 39 00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.920 create videos for you guys so you could 40 00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:27.680 learn those phrases with me but this 41 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:29.680 video is also for you to start doing 42 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.920 something that i'm doing already you can 43 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.600 have an exercise book which you can 44 00:01:33.600 --> 00:01:35.840 title vocabulary or you could just have 45 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.319 a note in your phone which for me works 46 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:40.240 a lot better because i have it with me 47 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:43.119 all the time and i learn new phrases 48 00:01:43.119 --> 00:01:45.840 every single day like someone would say 49 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.000 something to me i would read an email 50 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.240 with a new phrase or phrase that i think 51 00:01:50.240 --> 00:01:52.799 i should start using and i put it into 52 00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:54.399 my note by the way if you haven't 53 00:01:54.399 --> 00:01:57.200 subscribed this channel yet please hit 54 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.680 subscribe button okay 55 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:03.200 let's start talking about subtitles i'm 56 00:02:03.200 --> 00:02:05.600 being 100 honest here i didn't use 57 00:02:05.600 --> 00:02:06.799 subtitles when i was watching the 58 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.479 kardashians but 59 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:10.959 when i was watching the house of cards i 60 00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:12.560 used the subtitles because there was so 61 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:15.200 many political vocabulary there i wanted 62 00:02:15.200 --> 00:02:16.560 to make sure i understand everything 63 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.080 because the plot is sometimes 64 00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:20.080 complicated in addition to advanced 65 00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.239 words proximity to power deludes some 66 00:02:22.239 --> 00:02:24.000 into believing they wield it 67 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:28.879 so i love watching movies and tv series 68 00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:30.720 with subtitles 69 00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:34.000 and yes i scored 117 on toefl which 70 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.959 means i am advanced in listening doesn't 71 00:02:36.959 --> 00:02:39.200 matter like there is always some hint 72 00:02:39.200 --> 00:02:42.239 for me to peek onto and sometimes people 73 00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:44.480 have accents sometimes they pronounce 74 00:02:44.480 --> 00:02:47.519 words in a different way and i just want 75 00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:49.120 to make sure that i understand 76 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:50.879 everything but from the learning 77 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.200 perspective this is actually 78 00:02:53.200 --> 00:02:55.599 not something you should do so ideally 79 00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:57.360 if you want to watch the house of cards 80 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.440 and you or like something political 81 00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:01.599 something that is super complicated as a 82 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:04.000 topic then go ahead switch on the 83 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.480 subtitles watch with subtitles so that 84 00:03:06.480 --> 00:03:08.159 it's easier for you to watch it but if 85 00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:09.519 you're watching something like the 86 00:03:09.519 --> 00:03:11.360 kardashians if you're watching something 87 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:13.120 that's really easy to understand the 88 00:03:13.120 --> 00:03:16.159 simpsons whatever like a cartoon please 89 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.200 switch them off like there is nothing 90 00:03:19.200 --> 00:03:21.120 major going on in the kardashians that 91 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:22.879 you would not be able to understand 92 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.919 without subtitles like the video speaks 93 00:03:25.919 --> 00:03:28.720 for itself she's trying on a new outfit 94 00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.040 she's doing the balenciaga photo shoot 95 00:03:31.040 --> 00:03:33.760 whatever like you are going to be able 96 00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:35.680 to catch it from 97 00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:38.159 what you see on the screen so please 98 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:41.040 switch off the subtitles language is 99 00:03:41.040 --> 00:03:44.400 this gibby gabby it's albanian but the 100 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:46.560 producers added subtitles to make it 101 00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.120 commercial mom i don't want to read it's 102 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.920 the weekend the same also goes for the 103 00:03:51.920 --> 00:03:54.720 speed that you use to watch a video 104 00:03:54.720 --> 00:03:57.840 some people tell me i speak too fast but 105 00:03:57.840 --> 00:03:59.920 this actually how my brain works 106 00:03:59.920 --> 00:04:01.840 sometimes it's ahead of me so i speak 107 00:04:01.840 --> 00:04:04.159 too fast i try to slow down for this 108 00:04:04.159 --> 00:04:06.799 channel just because i understand that 109 00:04:06.799 --> 00:04:09.120 it is hard when people speak too fast 110 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.599 but what you could do with this video as 111 00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:12.640 well 112 00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.400 you could slow it down on youtube if you 113 00:04:14.400 --> 00:04:15.599 look here 114 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:17.120 there would be a sign that would let you 115 00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:18.720 adjust the speed 116 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:20.079 when i 117 00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:22.880 listen to a youtuber who i understand 118 00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:25.279 for example emma chamberlain she's like 119 00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.240 this 120 00:04:26.240 --> 00:04:29.040 i know she's just this person that 121 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:31.600 everybody loves in the us because she 122 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.680 started blogging when she was like 123 00:04:33.680 --> 00:04:36.720 13 14 and people grew up with her so 124 00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:39.040 they love her and if you haven't watched 125 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:41.199 any of her vlogs try 126 00:04:41.199 --> 00:04:42.720 so her 127 00:04:42.720 --> 00:04:45.120 rhythm is very relaxed 128 00:04:45.120 --> 00:04:47.759 she doesn't use complicated english so i 129 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:50.320 understand everything and because again 130 00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.320 this is me but i love when i'm able to 131 00:04:52.320 --> 00:04:54.000 consume a lot of information in a short 132 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.279 period of time 133 00:04:55.279 --> 00:04:58.479 i put the speed on 2x because i'm able 134 00:04:58.479 --> 00:05:00.479 to get everything that's going on with 135 00:05:00.479 --> 00:05:02.880 some youtubers who talk about 136 00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:05.120 complicated things with some youtubers 137 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:08.320 who want

00:05:16.320 1x speed but you could also go 0.5 x 141 00:05:16.320 --> 00:05:18.639 speed which means everything is going to 142 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.759 be very slow do you know what's great in

your own language okay 213 00:08:02.720 --> 00:08:04.720 this movie is boring 214 00:08:04.720 --> 00:08:06.560 let's talk about different strategies of 215 00:08:06.560 --> 00:08:09.280 watching a video strategy number one you 216 00:08:09.280 --> 00:08:12.240 focus on the content and this happens 217 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:13.840 like every day you find something 218 00:08:13.840 --> 00:08:16.160 exciting on youtube and you're like okay 219 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:18.240 i'm not in the mood to write down words 220 00:08:18.240 --> 00:08:20.560 so we'll just listen to the video 221 00:08:20.560 --> 00:08:23.440 and uh the main goal for me is to get 222 00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:25.360 the idea of what's going on like i don't 223 00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:27.199 know you're learning about business so 224 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:28.960 you don't really care about the new 225 00:08:28.960 --> 00:08:32.719 vocabulary right now you care more about 226 00:08:32.719 --> 00:08:34.479 things and basics on how to start a 227 00:08:34.479 --> 00:08:36.719 company so here you would switch on 228 00:08:36.719 --> 00:08:38.559 subtitles if you don't understand you 229 00:08:38.559 --> 00:08:40.880 would slow the video down but you will 230 00:08:40.880 --> 00:08:43.519 only focus on his content the second 231 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:45.679 strategy let's say you're in the mood 232 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:48.080 and again because you want everything to 233 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.640 be enjoyable you really ask yourself how 234 00:08:50.640 --> 00:08:52.640 you're feeling today so if you're in the 235 00:08:52.640 --> 00:08:54.480 mood to learn new words then it's a 236 00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:56.399 completely different strategy this is 237 00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.080 when you focus on the new words this is 238 00:08:58.080 --> 00:08:59.920 when you pause the video and write 239 00:08:59.920 --> 00:09:02.559 things down again the second strategy is 240 00:09:02.559 --> 00:09:04.640 less enjoyable so i wouldn't really 241 00:09:04.640 --> 00:09:06.720 expect you to watch two or three videos 242 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:09.279 a day like that for me an ideal pace is 243 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.760 like 15 minutes of watching a video to 244 00:09:11.760 --> 00:09:14.080 learn new vocabulary depending on the 245 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.080 type of creator or type of content that 246 00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:18.320 you're consuming you might be writing 247 00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:21.040 down one or two words per minute and 248 00:09:21.040 --> 00:09:22.399 again it depends on your english 249 00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.399 language level but if i watch someone 250 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.240 like bram stefan who talks about 251 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:28.559 personal finance i would say i would 252 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:30.559 find at least three words in the whole 253 00:09:30.559 --> 00:09:32.640 video to write down and to start 254 00:09:32.640 --> 00:09:35.200 actively using in my speech or for 255 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:36.880 example you're watching my silicon 256 00:09:36.880 --> 00:09:38.640 valley girl channel and i have a video 257 00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:40.480 about tesla and there on the first 258 00:09:40.480 --> 00:09:42.800 minute i say a phrase out of the blue 259 00:09:42.800 --> 00:09:45.120 which means unexpectedly what you would 260 00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:47.279 do is write this phrase out of the blue 261 00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.000 and ideally you would also write down a 262 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:51.839 sentence where this phrase was used 263 00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:53.519 because it's really important to know 264 00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:55.360 how to use something that you've just 265 00:09:55.360 --> 00:09:57.679 learned by the way look at the word 266 00:09:57.679 --> 00:09:59.440 break here do you think it's spelled 267 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.679 correctly should it be break 268 00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:03.920 or break break a break now again you 269 00:10:03.920 --> 00:10:06.080 need the context to know what's going on 270 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:08.958 to break in this case means to slow down 271 00:10:08.958 --> 00:10:11.640 stop a vehicle and the spelling is 272 00:10:11.640 --> 00:10:14.399 b-r-a-k-e remember to break before this 273 00:10:14.399 --> 00:10:16.160 time the next word you might find 274 00:10:16.160 --> 00:10:18.559 interesting in this video to collide 275 00:10:18.559 --> 00:10:20.640 what does it mean 276 00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:22.958 quick exercise comment down below with 277 00:10:22.958 --> 00:10:24.800 the meaning of the word collide i give 278 00:10:24.800 --> 00:10:26.520 you 10 seconds 279 00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:34.970 [Music] 280 00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.720 collide means to hit with force when 281 00:10:38.720 --> 00:10:41.200 moving an example would be two cars 282 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:43.360 collided at the intersection and then 283 00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:45.440 the last stage would be for you to learn 284 00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:46.958 those words and there are several 285 00:10:46.958 --> 00:10:48.720 strategies to do that i have the whole 286 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:50.640 video on how to learn new words but it 287 00:10:50.640 --> 00:10:52.480 could be a sticky note somewhere in your 288 00:10:52.480 --> 00:10:54.800 house it could be a note on your phone 289 00:10:54.800 --> 00:10:56.720 it could be another thing you could be 290 00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:58.800 creating content in english and using 291 00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:00.559 those words and it could be a diary it 292 00:11:00.559 --> 00:11:01.519 could be 293 00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.480 an instagram blog it could be tick tocks 294 00:11:04.480 --> 00:11:06.480 it could be anything in this world but 295 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.360 try to use all the new words you learned 296 00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:11.120 that was it for me for today guys thank
