00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:53.579
please make a PDF on tense's narration

00:01:53.579 --> 00:01:55.680
and voices with lots of examples it's

52
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.360
amazing to learn through PDFs they are

00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:59.460
very easy to comprehend okay thanks for

54
00:01:59.460 --> 00:02:01.799
the question so we can consider sure

55
00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:04.320
making a PDF about that that's up to the

56
00:02:04.320 --> 00:02:06.479
team to create but I thought I would try

57
00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:08.280
to answer your question a little bit

58
00:02:08.280 --> 00:02:12.000
here so first you ask about tenses so I

59
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:13.440
would recommend if you want to practice

60
00:02:13.440 --> 00:02:15.480
with tenses and lots of examples of

61
00:02:15.480 --> 00:02:17.700
tenses you do a quick search on the

62
00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:19.919
YouTube channel I have a video about all

63
00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:22.080
of the tenses of English and I have some

64
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.540
other videos that focus on other tenses

65
00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:26.639
like simple present tense or present

66
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:29.280
perfect tense or simple past tense so I

67
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:30.900
would recommend if you're looking for

68
00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.879
practice with tenses check out some of

69
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:34.560
the videos that are already on the

70
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:36.599
channel just do a quick tense search and

71
00:02:36.599 --> 00:02:38.879
you can find those the second part of

72
00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:40.680
your question was about narration and

73
00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:42.360
voices so I think that this is maybe

74
00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:44.819
about the different ways that we

75
00:02:44.819 --> 00:02:47.280
describe stories for example so I hope

76
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.080
that this will answer your question and

77
00:02:49.080 --> 00:02:50.760
I wanted to talk about something called

78
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.940
first second and third person Voice or

79
00:02:53.940 --> 00:02:55.980
these types of narration and what they

80
00:02:55.980 --> 00:02:57.660
are because you use these in your

81
00:02:57.660 --> 00:02:59.760
writing and you might also hear them and

82
00:02:59.760 --> 00:03:02.220
see them in things like movies and TV

83
00:03:02.220 --> 00:03:04.319
shows from time to time so what is this

84
00:03:04.319 --> 00:03:06.419
first person narration let's start with

85
00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:09.300
this first person narration is a way of

86
00:03:09.300 --> 00:03:11.879
telling a story where I is the subject

87
00:03:11.879 --> 00:03:13.739
of the sentence so when we use first

88
00:03:13.739 --> 00:03:16.019
person narration we say I went to the

89
00:03:16.019 --> 00:03:19.379
store I saw my friend I did this I did

90
00:03:19.379 --> 00:03:22.080
that so the focus is the speaker so the

91
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:23.879
person who is telling the story is the

92
00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:25.860
person that is sharing the I statements

93
00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:28.340
so this is called first person narration

94
00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:30.959
second person narration what's called

95
00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:33.180
second person narration is kind of a

96
00:03:33.180 --> 00:03:35.640
rare form of Storytelling if you've ever

97
00:03:35.640 --> 00:03:37.980
read a book that's called a Choose Your

98
00:03:37.980 --> 00:03:40.379
Own Adventure book you'll know this kind

99
00:03:40.379 --> 00:03:43.019
of Storytelling it's with you as the

100
00:03:43.019 --> 00:03:45.420
subject of the sentence so this is

101
00:03:45.420 --> 00:03:47.700
describing something that happens to you

102
00:03:47.700 --> 00:03:50.099
so in these kinds of story books that

103
00:03:50.099 --> 00:03:52.560
are usually written for children in the

104
00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.599
story you'll read things that are

105
00:03:54.599 --> 00:03:56.459
written in the story you'll read actions

106
00:03:56.459 --> 00:03:58.379
that are happening in this story like

107
00:03:58.379 --> 00:04:00.480
they're happening to you so for example

108
00:04:00.480 --> 00:04:03.540
you enter a haunted house you see a

109
00:04:03.540 --> 00:04:05.940
scary monster this kind of Storytelling

110
00:04:05.940 --> 00:04:08.400
is to make the reader feel that they are

111
00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:11.099
experiencing that in the moment so this

112
00:04:11.099 --> 00:04:12.840
kind of Storytelling is called second

113
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.060
person narration this is the least

114
00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:17.339
common kind of narration and you really

115
00:04:17.339 --> 00:04:19.738
usually only see it in cases like I

116
00:04:19.738 --> 00:04:21.180
mentioned before and kind of young

117
00:04:21.180 --> 00:04:22.800
people's story books where they're

118
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.839
trying to share an experience as though

119
00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:27.000
it is actually happening for the reader

120
00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:28.919
the last type of narration or

121
00:04:28.919 --> 00:04:30.900
storytelling is called third person

122
00:04:30.900 --> 00:04:32.940
third person narration or third person

123
00:04:32.940 --> 00:04:35.699
writing refers to when we use people's

124
00:04:35.699 --> 00:04:38.580
name names so there's no I there's no

125
00:04:38.580 --> 00:04:40.500
one single person who's the narrator

126
00:04:40.500 --> 00:04:43.199
it's everybody in the story so we

127
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.300
understand everybody from everybody

128
00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:47.460
else's perspective if that makes sense

129
00:04:47.460 --> 00:04:50.279
so for example if I'm writing a third

130
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:53.759
person story I would not use I did this

131
00:04:53.759 --> 00:04:56.759
I did that instead I would say Alicia

132
00:04:56.759 --> 00:04:59.100
did this Alicia did that Alicia went to

133
00:04:59.100 --> 00:05:01.320
the store Alicia saw her friend Alicia

134
00:05:01.320 --> 00:05:03.839
entered the house so even though I'm the

135
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:06.120
person writing the story I use Alicia

136
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:08.460
because it's third person storytelling

137
00:05:08.460 --> 00:05:11.400
this is very very common in books and in

138
00:05:11.400 --> 00:05:13.320
other types of Storytelling like essays

139
00:05:13.320 --> 00:05:16.020
and things like that so generally we see

140
00:05:16.020 --> 00:05:18.060
first person storytelling when we're

141
00:05:18.060 --> 00:05:20.160
speaking from our own perspective and

142
00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:22.320
then we see third person storytelling a

143
00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:24.660
lot in like news media and in other

144
00:05:24.660 --> 00:05:27.300
books so those are situations where we

145
00:05:27.300 --> 00:05:29.279
don't need to focus on ourselves right

146
00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:31.680
so you can probably apply first person

147
00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:33.539
storytelling when you do things like

148
00:05:33.539 --> 00:05:35.520
share updates on social media for

149
00:05:35.520 --> 00:05:37.440
example or maybe share a story about

150
00:05:37.440 --> 00:05:39.539
your childhood and you can use third

151
00:05:39.539 --> 00:05:41.339
person storytelling when you're sharing

152
00:05:41.339 --> 00:05:42.839
a report about something that happened

153
00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:44.759
and you do not need to be the focus

154
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:46.919
second person storytelling as I

155
00:05:46.919 --> 00:05:49.080
mentioned is kind of rare it's not so

156
00:05:49.080 --> 00:05:51.120
common but you may see it from time to

157
00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:53.300
time to give that feeling of someone

158
00:05:53.300 --> 00:05:55.740
experiencing something in the moment so

159
00:05:55.740 --> 00:05:57.600
I hope that this quick answer helps you

160
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.160
understand a little bit better about

161
00:05:59.160 --> 00:06:01.199
narration and different voices that we

162
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:03.479
use in our writing and again if you want

163
00:06:03.479 --> 00:06:05.039
to know more about tenses I would

164
00:06:05.039 --> 00:06:06.779
recommend just doing a quick search on

165
00:06:06.779 --> 00:06:08.400
the YouTube channel for some videos

166
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:10.620
about tenses so I hope that this is a

167
00:06:10.620 --> 00:06:12.120
quick answer for your question thanks

168
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:13.800
very much for sending it along okay

169
00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:16.259
let's move on to your next question next

170
00:06:16.259 --> 00:06:19.740
question comes from Elise Waldo hi Elise

171
00:06:19.740 --> 00:06:22.380
Waldo Elise Waldo says how do we use the

172
00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:25.440
repetition system to learn English okay

173
00:06:25.440 --> 00:06:27.839
so I think this question is about

174
00:06:27.839 --> 00:06:29.639
something that I talk about on the

175
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.039
channel quite a lot the space repetition

176
00:06:32.039 --> 00:06:34.979
system so the basic concept with space

177
00:06:34.979 --> 00:06:37.620
repetition is that after you study

178
00:06:37.620 --> 00:06:39.419
something for the first time like a new

179
00:06:39.419 --> 00:06:41.759
vocabulary word you give yourself a

180
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:44.339
short break that's the space in spaced

181
00:06:44.339 --> 00:06:46.680
repetition so for example if you study a

182
00:06:46.680 --> 00:06:48.419
vocabulary word today in the morning

183
00:06:48.419 --> 00:06:51.000
maybe you take a break for today like

184
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.979
during your lunch time or as you go to

185
00:06:52.979 --> 00:06:55.080
work or at school and then you study the

186
00:06:55.080 --> 00:06:57.180
word again in the evening so that's your

187
00:06:57.180 --> 00:06:59.100
first space right so from morning to

188
00:06:59.100 --> 00:07:01.979
evening and then the spaces get longer

189
00:07:01.979 --> 00:07:03.900
and longer so you study the word again

190
00:07:03.900 --> 00:07:05.880
in the evening okay then you don't see

191
00:07:05.880 --> 00:07:07.860
the word again until the next evening so

192
00:07:07.860 --> 00:07:09.840
you have 24 hours that's your next space

193
00:07:09.840 --> 00:07:12.180
and then maybe it's 48 hours until the

194
00:07:12.180 --> 00:07:15.000
next review and so on so the idea with

195
00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:16.919
space repetition is that you study

196
00:07:16.919 --> 00:07:19.199
something multiple times but you give

197
00:07:19.199 --> 00:07:21.180
your brain a chance to think about the

198
00:07:21.180 --> 00:07:23.099
information for a while and then you

199
00:07:23.099 --> 00:07:25.259
review it again so you can apply this

200
00:07:25.259 --> 00:07:27.180
same concept with grammar points as well

201
00:07:27.180 --> 00:07:29.400
you study a grammar point one week and

202
00:07:29.400 --> 00:07:31.020
then you review it the next day you

203
00:07:31.020 --> 00:07:32.759
review it three days later then another

204
00:07:32.759 --> 00:07:35.280
week later you can apply the same idea

205
00:07:35.280 --> 00:07:37.800
so you can use the same kind of spaced

206
00:07:37.800 --> 00:07:39.780
repetition system with pretty much

207
00:07:39.780 --> 00:07:41.460
anything that you're working on studying

208
00:07:41.460 --> 00:07:43.020
you can use this with listening practice

209
00:07:43.020 --> 00:07:44.580
you can use this with your speaking

210
00:07:44.580 --> 00:07:46.500
practice as well just try to give

211
00:07:46.500 --> 00:07:48.360
yourself a little bit of a break after

212
00:07:48.360 --> 00:07:49.620
you study something or practice

213
00:07:49.620 --> 00:07:51.599
something and then come back to it again

214
00:07:51.599 --> 00:07:54.240
all another thing that's important to do

215
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:56.580
with this kind of repetition is to

216
00:07:56.580 --> 00:07:58.500
evaluate yourself so think about what

217
00:07:58.500 --> 00:08:00.060
you did well and think about the things

218
00:08:00.060 --> 00:08:01.979
that you still need to work on so of

219
00:08:01.979 --> 00:08:03.539
course this doesn't mean that you should

220
00:08:03.539 --> 00:08:05.099
only practice and that you shouldn't

221
00:08:05.099 --> 00:08:07.319
ever try to evaluate yourself and see

222
00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.300
what's good and what's not so good but

223
00:08:09.300 --> 00:08:11.340
rather it's just about getting into a

224
00:08:11.340 --> 00:08:13.319
rhythm of making sure that you space

225
00:08:13.319 --> 00:08:15.599
your practice sessions out so you're not

226
00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:17.639
like cramming everything into one day

227
00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.740
every month and you're also not just

228
00:08:19.740 --> 00:08:22.139
doing maybe like 30 seconds of study

229
00:08:22.139 --> 00:08:23.819
here and there but rather making sure

230
00:08:23.819 --> 00:08:25.680
that you have spaces throughout your day

231
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.479
and throughout your week that are there

232
00:08:27.479 --> 00:08:29.759
for your studies so this is a very open

233
00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:32.039
answer I know but I hope this is a good

234
00:08:32.039 --> 00:08:33.839
introduction to spaced repetition

235
00:08:33.839 --> 00:08:35.820
practice if you want to try this out

236
00:08:35.820 --> 00:08:37.500
there are some space repetition flash

237
00:08:37.500 --> 00:08:39.719
cards on the englishclass 101.com

238
00:08:39.719 --> 00:08:42.059
website you can check that out so those

239
00:08:42.059 --> 00:08:43.800
are flash cards that will do this for

240
00:08:43.800 --> 00:08:46.020
you if you want to study vocabulary

241
00:08:46.020 --> 00:08:48.480
words it will give you vocabulary words

242
00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:50.760
to study and then remember which ones

243
00:08:50.760 --> 00:08:53.040
were difficult for you and quiz you on

244
00:08:53.040 --> 00:08:55.019
those words sooner than the words that

245
00:08:55.019 --> 00:08:57.300
were easy for you so check that out if

246
00:08:57.300 --> 00:08:59.100
you want to try a little bit of spaced

247
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:00.839
repetition practice so I hope that this

248
00:09:00.839 --> 00:09:02.458
helps you I hope this was a good answer

249
00:09:02.458 --> 00:09:04.260
for your question thanks very much for

250
00:09:04.260 --> 00:09:06.300
sending it along okay let's move on to

251
00:09:06.300 --> 00:09:08.580
your next question next question comes

252
00:09:08.580 --> 00:09:11.940
from Nicole L Tran hi Nicole Nicole says

253
00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:13.980
hi Alicia I've heard many people say I

254
00:09:13.980 --> 00:09:15.779
don't do nothing when they want to say

255
00:09:15.779 --> 00:09:18.420
they don't do the thing is that right as

256
00:09:18.420 --> 00:09:20.399
far as I know negative plus negative

257
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:22.559
equals positive what's the right

258
00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.420
sentence if we want to say we don't do

259
00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:26.760
any actions in a situation I don't do

260
00:09:26.760 --> 00:09:28.920
anything or I don't do nothing thanks

261
00:09:28.920 --> 00:09:31.860
yeah great question so in very basic

262
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:34.140
Standard English yes we would say I

263
00:09:34.140 --> 00:09:36.120
don't do anything that would be the

264
00:09:36.120 --> 00:09:38.399
standard correct form of English however

265
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.279
this I don't do nothing or these kind of

266
00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:43.380
double negatives are part of some

267
00:09:43.380 --> 00:09:45.958
dialects of English so depending on the

268
00:09:45.958 --> 00:09:47.880
region or the community where someone

269
00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:50.339
has grown up they may use this kind of

270
00:09:50.339 --> 00:09:52.320
dialect that uses these double negatives

271
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.140
sometimes so this is an example of one

272
00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:57.059
of those double negatives I don't do

273
00:09:57.059 --> 00:09:59.160
nothing while yes it is a double

274
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:00.958
negative as you've pointed out in this

275
00:10:00.958 --> 00:10:03.300
question is also a manner of speaking

276
00:10:03.300 --> 00:10:05.399
that also just means I don't do anything

277
00:10:05.399 --> 00:10:08.339
so this can be a confusing point for

278
00:10:08.339 --> 00:10:10.620

they're yours to keep forever okay let's

342
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.040
jump into today's topic

343
00:12:46.040 --> 00:12:47.639
[Music]

344
00:12:47.639 --> 00:12:50.458
how to reach your goal for the year the

345
00:12:50.458 --> 00:12:53.700
seven long-term strategies for success

346
00:12:53.700 --> 00:12:56.279
so what are these long-term strategies

347
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.860
well before we get into it just keep

348
00:12:58.860 --> 00:13:01.260
this in mind these tips and strategies

349
00:13:01.260 --> 00:13:03.600
won't be deep profound quotes that will

350
00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:05.700
shake your soul and finally open your

351
00:13:05.700 --> 00:13:07.800
eyes if those worked you'd be fluent

352
00:13:07.800 --> 00:13:10.740
already most tips are very simple but

353
00:13:10.740 --> 00:13:12.779
they only work when you take action

354
00:13:12.779 --> 00:13:15.600
again results come from taking action

355
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:18.720
not listening to wise words

356
00:13:18.720 --> 00:13:21.360
so the first strategy for long-term

357
00:13:21.360 --> 00:13:23.519
success is to keep at it

358
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.620
and that's because mastering a language

359
00:13:25.620 --> 00:13:28.139
is simply a function of time the more

360
00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:30.360
you put in the better you'll get obvious

361
00:13:30.360 --> 00:13:32.700
right but if you're excited to start now

362
00:13:32.700 --> 00:13:35.279
in January it'll be easy to put in some

363
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:37.800
time however you won't feel as excited

364
00:13:37.800 --> 00:13:40.500
in February March or April you'll start

365
00:13:40.500 --> 00:13:42.480
falling off you'll no longer be taking

366
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:44.399
action on this advice and your language

367
00:13:44.399 --> 00:13:46.320
won't improve

368
00:13:46.320 --> 00:13:48.958
so keeping at it is the key to success

369
00:13:48.958 --> 00:13:51.000
here and worth repeating no matter how

370
00:13:51.000 --> 00:13:53.339
obvious it is you have to keep at it

371
00:13:53.339 --> 00:13:55.679
it's like Einstein said it's not that

372
00:13:55.679 --> 00:13:57.600
I'm smart it's just that I stay with

373
00:13:57.600 --> 00:13:59.519
problems longer

374
00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:03.000
the second strategy is try new things

375
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:05.339
you've probably downloaded a free app or

376
00:14:05.339 --> 00:14:07.320
two to get started and chances are

377
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:08.880
you'll get bored of them within a month

378
00:14:08.880 --> 00:14:11.639
or two or you'll outgrow the basic apps

379
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:13.260
that just teach you words and that's

380
00:14:13.260 --> 00:14:14.399
normal

381
00:14:14.399 --> 00:14:16.740
so that's why it's important to try new

382
00:14:16.740 --> 00:14:18.779
things so you can keep going with your

383
00:14:18.779 --> 00:14:20.040
language learning

384
00:14:20.040 --> 00:14:22.800
if you started with an app try getting a

385
00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:25.139
textbook and a workbook try learning

386
00:14:25.139 --> 00:14:27.240
with our conversational audio and video

387
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.399
lessons and follow the pathway from

388
00:14:29.399 --> 00:14:32.100
start to finish or try getting a teacher

389
00:14:32.100 --> 00:14:34.380
whether an in-person teacher or a

390
00:14:34.380 --> 00:14:36.480
premium plus teacher that comes with the

391
00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:38.279
premium plus plan

392
00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:40.620
the point is you'll find that some

393
00:14:40.620 --> 00:14:42.360
methods are easier to stick with than

394
00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:44.519
others and that's the goal to find

395
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:46.500
something you can stick with long term

396
00:14:46.500 --> 00:14:48.899
and keep putting that time in

397
00:14:48.899 --> 00:14:51.300
the third strategy for long-term success

398
00:14:51.300 --> 00:14:53.760
is be flexible with your goals and

399
00:14:53.760 --> 00:14:55.440
expectations

400
00:14:55.440 --> 00:14:57.540
which is something most people are not

401
00:14:57.540 --> 00:14:59.760
are you flexible with your goals leave

402
00:14:59.760 --> 00:15:01.019
us a comment

403
00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:03.240
most people when they realize they won't

404
00:15:03.240 --> 00:15:05.760
hit a goal take it is a brutal failure

405
00:15:05.760 --> 00:15:08.339
they beat themselves up they expect it

406
00:15:08.339 --> 00:15:10.860
to be fluent by February they didn't get

407
00:15:10.860 --> 00:15:12.720
what they expected and they can't accept

408
00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:15.600
anything less so for them it becomes a

409
00:15:15.600 --> 00:15:17.699
big failure and that's what you want to

410
00:15:17.699 --> 00:15:19.199
avoid doing

411
00:15:19.199 --> 00:15:21.959
but the fact is life will get in the way

412
00:15:21.959 --> 00:15:24.660
you might be busy at work or school you

413
00:15:24.660 --> 00:15:26.459
might get sick or whatever other

414
00:15:26.459 --> 00:15:29.100
curveball life likes to throw at us and

415
00:15:29.100 --> 00:15:31.620
you won't learn as fast as you'd like so

416
00:15:31.620 --> 00:15:33.360
you have to be flexible about your

417
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:36.240
expectations it's okay to pause your

418
00:15:36.240 --> 00:15:38.100
language learning for now and come back

419
00:15:38.100 --> 00:15:40.980
later it's okay to miss a goal and it's

420
00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:43.380
okay to not progress as fast as you'd

421
00:15:43.380 --> 00:15:45.480
like that doesn't mean you're failing at

422
00:15:45.480 --> 00:15:47.160
it some things are outside of your

423
00:15:47.160 --> 00:15:50.399
control it just means you need more time

424
00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:52.800
the fourth strategy is test your

425
00:15:52.800 --> 00:15:55.740
language skills it's easy to tap on an

426
00:15:55.740 --> 00:15:57.180
app and think you're learning new words

427
00:15:57.180 --> 00:16:00.060
but what if you aren't you don't know if

428
00:16:00.060 --> 00:16:02.339
you're actually improving right so the

429
00:16:02.339 --> 00:16:04.139
best way to improve is to put your

430
00:16:04.139 --> 00:16:06.360
language skills to the test and that can

431
00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.699
be anything from trying speaking to a

432
00:16:08.699 --> 00:16:10.680
native speaker to see how far you can go

433
00:16:10.680 --> 00:16:12.959
or signing up for a proficiency test

434
00:16:12.959 --> 00:16:15.540
anywhere where someone else judges your

435
00:16:15.540 --> 00:16:17.940
language skills then you can quickly see

436
00:16:17.940 --> 00:16:20.279
where you're lacking with our Learning

437
00:16:20.279 --> 00:16:22.680
System we test you regularly with

438
00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:24.600
multiple choice and hand graded

439
00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:26.720
assessments inside your learning pathway

440
00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:29.040
these assessments test you on the

441
00:16:29.040 --> 00:16:30.779
language you've learned in your last few

442
00:16:30.779 --> 00:16:32.880
lessons to make sure you're improving

443
00:16:32.880 --> 00:16:35.040
and retaining what you learn you know

444
00:16:35.040 --> 00:16:36.720
instead of hearing words once and

445
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:38.880
forgetting them later you can also

446
00:16:38.880 --> 00:16:40.920
interact with your Premium Plus teacher

447
00:16:40.920 --> 00:16:42.839
who will correct your language and help

448
00:16:42.839 --> 00:16:45.540
you improve faster and if you want to

449
00:16:45.540 --> 00:16:47.639
improve even faster

450
00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:50.339
the fifth strategy is involve other

451
00:16:50.339 --> 00:16:52.440
people in your Learning Journey

452
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:54.660
and this can be a teacher other language

453
00:16:54.660 --> 00:16:57.240
Learners or native speakers when you're

454
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.339
around other people doing the same thing

455
00:16:59.339 --> 00:17:01.740
it's much easier to stay motivated to

456
00:17:01.740 --> 00:17:03.660
learn the language it's why nobody

457
00:17:03.660 --> 00:17:05.400
successfully works out from the comfort

458
00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.439
of their own home and why people go to

459
00:17:07.439 --> 00:17:10.260
gyms and that's exactly why we offer

460
00:17:10.260 --> 00:17:12.359
live group classes for languages like

461
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:15.540
Japanese Korean Spanish Chinese French

462
00:17:15.540 --> 00:17:19.439
Italian German and more to our members

463
00:17:19.439 --> 00:17:22.079
the sixth strategy for long-term success

464
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:24.780
is use good old habits to get back on

465
00:17:24.780 --> 00:17:25.799
track

466
00:17:25.799 --> 00:17:27.660
simply put if you have a language

467
00:17:27.660 --> 00:17:29.520
learning habit that you can stick to

468
00:17:29.520 --> 00:17:31.260
even if it doesn't give you the best

469
00:17:31.260 --> 00:17:33.600
results the fact that you can stick with

470
00:17:33.600 --> 00:17:36.600
it that by itself is important

471
00:17:36.600 --> 00:17:38.820
so if you fall off track and are

472
00:17:38.820 --> 00:17:41.160
wondering how to get started again go

473
00:17:41.160 --> 00:17:43.559
back to a routine that works for you for

474
00:17:43.559 --> 00:17:46.080
example our users love our free word of

475
00:17:46.080 --> 00:17:48.539
the day emails for that very reason it's

476
00:17:48.539 --> 00:17:50.220
just one word a day in your target

477
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.799
language but it's easy to stick with and

478
00:17:52.799 --> 00:17:53.940
they feel like they're making some

479
00:17:53.940 --> 00:17:56.280
progress even on days they're busy

480
00:17:56.280 --> 00:17:59.100
and the seventh is always set small

481
00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:01.619
measurable monthly goals

482
00:18:01.619 --> 00:18:04.679
instead of huge unrealistic goals like I

483
00:18:04.679 --> 00:18:07.020
want to be fluent by July or I just want

484
00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:09.600
to speak the language these big goals

485
00:18:09.600 --> 00:18:11.760
are the number one cause of failed New

486
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:14.280
Year's resolutions but if you make them

487
00:18:14.280 --> 00:18:16.440
smaller and more realistic you can

488
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.359
actually start reaching them

489
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.059
for example something like I want to

490
00:18:21.059 --> 00:18:23.299
learn 100 words by the end of January

491
00:18:23.299 --> 00:18:26.280
100 words is small and realistic enough

492
00:18:26.280 --> 00:18:29.640
that's three to four words a day 100 is

493
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:32.039
also measurable you'll always know how

494
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.200
close you are to reaching it and monthly

495
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:36.119
gives you a deadline end of the month

496
00:18:36.119 --> 00:18:39.000
January 31st either you hit it or you

497
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.240
don't other examples would be do 30

498
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.580
lessons inside our learning pathway by

499
00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:47.400
January 31st speak one minute of your

500
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:50.220
target language by January 31st or learn

501
00:18:50.220 --> 00:18:53.160
the Alphabet by January 31st what kind

502
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.380
of small measurable goal would you want

503
00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:57.600
to set leave a comment

504
00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:00.419
so let's recap the seven strategies for

505
00:19:00.419 --> 00:19:03.600
long-term success keep at it try new

506
00:19:03.600 --> 00:19:06.119
things be flexible with your goals and

507
00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:08.760
expectations test your language skills

508
00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:10.919
involve other people in your language

509
00:19:10.919 --> 00:19:13.799
Journey use good old habits to get back

510
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:17.039
on track set small measurable monthly

511
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:20.700
goals instead of huge unrealistic goals

512
00:19:20.700 --> 00:19:22.799

one learn through conversations with

549
00:20:43.919 --> 00:20:46.559
conversational lessons the most

550
00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:48.720
pain-free way to pick up new words is

551
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:51.359
through conversations why because it's

552
00:20:51.359 --> 00:20:53.820
better to hear words in context and see

553
00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:55.500
how they're used in actual sentences

554
00:20:55.500 --> 00:20:57.900
instead of learning them one by one

555
00:20:57.900 --> 00:21:00.240
and with our audio and video lessons

556
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:02.280
you'll hear a quick conversation between

557
00:21:02.280 --> 00:21:04.740
two native speakers and then you'll get

558
00:21:04.740 --> 00:21:06.900
every grammar Rule and word explained so

559
00:21:06.900 --> 00:21:08.700
that you understand everything and so

560
00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:10.380
that you know how to use the words in

561
00:21:10.380 --> 00:21:12.380
actual conversations

562
00:21:12.380 --> 00:21:15.480
two the word of the day

563
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:17.880
many of our users love this free feature

564
00:21:17.880 --> 00:21:19.740
because it helps them create a habit of

565
00:21:19.740 --> 00:21:22.020
learning the language every day you get

566
00:21:22.020 --> 00:21:24.299
an email with a word the definition and

567
00:21:24.299 --> 00:21:26.400
the audio pronunciation and in just a

568
00:21:26.400 --> 00:21:28.380
minute or less you've picked up a new

569
00:21:28.380 --> 00:21:29.580
word

570
00:21:29.580 --> 00:21:32.039
three use our space repetition

571
00:21:32.039 --> 00:21:33.900
flashcards

572
00:21:33.900 --> 00:21:36.059
space repetition flash cards are a

573
00:21:36.059 --> 00:21:38.159
powerful way to learn words fast and

574
00:21:38.159 --> 00:21:39.720
actually remember them in the long run

575
00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.780
how here's how they work

576
00:21:42.780 --> 00:21:45.059
just start a session and start reviewing

577
00:21:45.059 --> 00:21:47.340
the words so if you get a word wrong

578
00:21:47.340 --> 00:21:49.200
you'll keep getting tested on it in that

579
00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:51.299
session until you get it right once you

580
00:21:51.299 --> 00:21:52.740
get the word right you'll see it again

581
00:21:52.740 --> 00:21:55.619
in two days then five days and 13 days

582
00:21:55.619 --> 00:21:58.140
and so on and this is a science-backed

583
00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.299
method called space repetition learning

584
00:22:00.299 --> 00:22:02.820
by spacing out the words your memory

585
00:22:02.820 --> 00:22:04.619
gets stronger every time you come back

586
00:22:04.619 --> 00:22:06.600
to that word except you don't have to

587
00:22:06.600 --> 00:22:08.340
remember to come back because the flash

588
00:22:08.340 --> 00:22:10.200
cards will quiz you when the time is

589
