sponsored this 33 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:26.560 segment of today's video it's called hi 34 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:29.680 native and oh my word it's wonderful 35 00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:31.680 it's such an incredible tool for 36 00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.560 learners of virtually any language in my 37 00:01:34.560 --> 00:01:37.520 experience one of the most frustrating 38 00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.240 parts of learning a new language is the 39 00:01:40.240 --> 00:01:43.280 constant stream of doubts and questions 40 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.479 going round and round in my own head 41 00:01:46.479 --> 00:01:48.560 especially when you're in an earlier 42 00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:50.799 stage there are just so many questions 43 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.399 and when you get to that more advanced 44 00:01:52.399 --> 00:01:54.640 stage the questions you have are so 45 00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:57.200 niche and you need a native speaker or a 46 00:01:57.200 --> 00:01:59.439 teacher to answer them why is this like 47 00:01:59.439 --> 00:02:01.680 that why don't you say it like that will 48 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.159 i sound natural if i say it like this i 49 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:06.240 needed a teacher or a native speaker 50 00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.520 around me 24 7 to be able to ask them 51 00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.120 all of these constant doubts and 52 00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:12.400 questions 53 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.160 and obviously for 99.99 of us having a 54 00:02:16.160 --> 00:02:18.400 teacher around 24 7 55 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:20.239 is pretty much impossible unless you're 56 00:02:20.239 --> 00:02:21.599 lucky enough to be married to one i 57 00:02:21.599 --> 00:02:24.160 guess this is especially true if you're 58 00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:26.800 learning a really popular language like 59 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:28.319 english because there are lots of other 60 00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:30.239 people in the same situation who also 61

00:05:10.479 slash 131 00:05:10.479 --> 00:05:14.080 drive and this is the most wonderful 132 00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.919 language correction 133 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:18.639 and organization tool i used to teach 134 00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:21.440 group classes and i would always make my 135 00:05:21.440 --> 00:05:24.000 students complete their homework on a 136 00:05:24.000 --> 00:05:26.960 google shared document this is so that i 137 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:29.680 could make tweets and my students could 138 00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.400 see where i had made corrections 139 00:05:32.400 --> 00:05:34.720 view what i had changed the edits i'd 140 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.600 made and see my comments that i'd made 141 00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.279 on them as well it also meant that my 142 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:41.759 students had neat files a nice 143 00:05:41.759 --> 00:05:44.240 organization system of all of their 144 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:46.000 homework and their essays that they'd 145 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:48.160 done throughout the years so they could 146 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:51.120 see their progress and they could use it 147 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.039 they could use the corrections most 148 00:05:53.039 --> 00:05:55.759 importantly as a revision tool so if an 149 00:05:55.759 --> 00:05:57.839 exam was coming up they could go through 150 00:05:57.839 --> 00:05:59.759 all of their past mistakes to make sure 151 00:05:59.759 --> 00:06:01.600 that they don't repeat them if your 152 00:06:01.600 --> 00:06:04.000 teacher is still making you handwrite 153 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:06.720 essays and store them in a folder 154 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.199 talk to them it's time to modernize 155 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:11.120 alternatively if you find someone who's 156 00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:13.520 willing to correct your work ask them to 157 00:06:13.520 --> 00:06:15.440 do it on google docs so that you have 158 00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:17.919 this

revision resource next let's talk about 170 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:46.240 one of my favorite 171 00:06:46.240 --> 00:06:49.360 favorite dictionaries as a teacher and a 172 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:51.919 language learner i can promise you this 173 00:06:51.919 --> 00:06:53.759 is one of the best of the best i've been 174 00:06:53.759 --> 00:06:55.839 using it for well i've been teaching

dictionary 178 00:07:02.400 --> 00:07:04.880 and the reason i love it so much is 179 00:07:04.880 --> 00:07:07.599 because they have the most fantastic 180 00:07:07.599 --> 00:07:10.639 ipa transcriptions some will offer lots 181 00:07:10.639 --> 00:07:12.240 of different accents but they won't 182 00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:14.319 provide the transcription oxford 183 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:16.800 learner's dictionary provides everything 184 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.720 you need you can listen to the audio in 185 00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.400 standard american english standard 186

it is 189 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:28.800 beautiful it's a dictionary that's 190 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.360 designed for learners in mind so the 191 00:07:31.360 --> 00:07:32.960 definitions are really clear and 192 00:07:32.960 --> 00:07:35.599 understandable they have the word origin 193 00:07:35.599 --> 00:07:37.360 on most words as well which is really 194 00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:39.759 interesting as well as antonyms and 195 00:07:39.759 --> 00:07:41.599 synonyms it's always really really good 196 00:07:41.599 --> 00:07:43.199 to look at the synonyms so you can 197 00:07:43.199 -->

a massive advocate for word diaries 201 00:07:52.800 --> 00:07:56.000 you can add words to your own 202 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:58.479 wordless the phrase word list doesn't 203 00:07:58.479 --> 00:08:00.800 sound that exciting but it gets 204 00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.360 gets me going every time you search a 205 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:06.080 word you can add it to your word list it 206

00:09:38.559 hear how a word is actually pronounced 248 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:40.399 or you want to compare 249 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.399 two different countries pronunciations 250 00:09:42.399

00:10:33.839 --> 00:10:36.160 too which are really fun i like to 274 00:10:36.160 --> 00:10:38.880 gamify the learning process it's also 275 00:10:38.880 --> 00:10:40.880 really nice when you create a set that 276 00:10:40.880 --> 00:10:42.399 you're really really proud of you can 277 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:44.000 share it with other people lots of 278 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:46.399 teachers now use it with their students 279 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:49.040 leave them public so you can gain access 280 00:10:49.040 --> 00:10:51.040 to a lesson that you maybe wouldn't have 281 00:10:51.040 --> 00:10:53.679 access to before moving on to number six 282 00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:55.360 this is different to what i've 283 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:57.440 recommended before i always used to 284 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:00.480 recommend the bbc sounds app 285 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:02.880 as a really good place for audios like 286 00:11:02.880 --> 00:11:05.519 podcasts and radio shows but there was 287 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.279 one thing that i didn't like about that 288 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.760 app they really didn't prioritize 289 00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:12.399 transcripts for their audio shows that 290 00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:13.920 annoys me because it's not good for 291 00:11:13.920 --> 00:11:15.760 accessibility if somebody is hard of 292 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:17.519 hearing and i've got quite a few people 293 00:11:17.519 --> 00:11:19.679 in my life that are hard of hearing that 294 00:11:19.679 --> 00:11:22.559 cannot access podcasts and that's so sad 295 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:23.920 because there's so much wonderful 296 00:11:23.920 --> 00:11:25.600 information in them it's also not that 297 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.279 great for english learners one of the 298 00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:29.279 most amazing tools is to listen to 299 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:31.200 something whilst you're reading it 300 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.600 because your brain makes connections 301 00:11:33.600 --> 00:11:35.360 it helps you learn the pronunciation it 302 00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:36.720 helps you improve your listening it 303 00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:38.720 helps you expand your vocabulary it's 304 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:40.640 just so good well 305 00:11:40.640 --> 00:11:44.399 spotify has now overtaken bbc sounds as 306 00:11:44.399 --> 00:11:46.958 my favorite audio app for learning 307 00:11:46.958 --> 00:11:49.679 english they have recently started 308 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.480 adding transcripts to their shows at the 309 00:11:52.480 --> 00:11:55.760 moment it is only their original and 310 00:11:55.760 --> 00:11:58.160 exclusive shows so the ones that are 311 00:11:58.160 --> 00:12:00.240 native to them i guess there aren't that 312 00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.160 many available at the moment but those 313 00:12:02.160 --> 00:12:04.240 that are have the transcripts and it's 314 00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:06.720 an amazing learning opportunity i also 315 00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:08.240 heard that they were considering 316 00:12:08.240 --> 00:12:11.040 expanding this to the rest of their 317 00:12:11.040 --> 00:12:12.720 shows as well so i really really hope 318 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:14.800 they do that if you're looking for a new 319 00:12:14.800 --> 00:12:18.160 podcast make sure it's one of spotify's 320 00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:20.800 original or exclusive ones and hopefully 321 00:12:20.800 --> 00:12:22.720 you can access their transcript 322 00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:24.720 the last app that i have for you is 323 00:12:24.720 --> 00:12:27.279 google translate and no i am not a 324 00:12:27.279 --> 00:12:29.600 teacher recommending that you just 325 00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.639 translate all of your essays on google i 326 00:12:32.639 --> 00:12:33.839 remember 327 00:12:33.839 --> 00:12:36.000 marking essays and it being very very 328 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:38.480 clear who had just put their essay in 329 00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.480 their own language into google translate 330 00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.800 because sometimes they'd make spelling 331 00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:44.160 mistakes 332 00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:45.920 and their misspelt 333 00:12:45.920 --> 00:12:48.720 word in spanish would be in the middle 334 00:12:48.720 --> 00:12:50.720 of their english essay and it would be 335 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:52.399 very very obvious but that's fine i mean 336 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.720 they may have been short on time uh the 337 00:12:54.720 --> 00:12:57.040 reason i'm recommending google translate 338 00:12:57.040 --> 00:12:59.440 is because of the amazing google lens 339 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.399 feature 340 00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:02.320 where you can use your camera to 341 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:04.320 translate things in real time and this 342 00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.399 is perfect if you're out and about and 343 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.240 you want to quickly 344 00:13:08.240 --> 00:13:09.920 see something but you don't have time to 345 00:13:09.920 --> 00:13:12.078 type it all up for example if i'm in a 346 00:13:12.078 --> 00:13:14.399 foreign restaurant and their menu is in 347 00:13:14.399 --> 00:13:17.360 chinese or something i can just hover it 348 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.200 over this is just a fun one it's not 349 00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.200 necessarily an english learning tool but 350 00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.720 it's a really useful 351 00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:24.800 life tool i think and it's something i 352 00:13:24.800 --> 00:13:27.519 was just blown away by when i first saw 353 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:30.399 it i just couldn't believe that we're 354 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:33.200 finally living in
