00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.158
hey guys welcome to lingo marina let's

2
00:00:02.158 --> 00:00:04.720
talk about intermediate plateau and why

3
00:00:04.720 --> 00:00:07.440
you stop learning english language this

4
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:11.440
video has been sponsored by italki

5
00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:12.400
now

6
00:00:12.400 --> 00:00:14.639
let me show you a very

7
00:00:14.639 --> 00:00:16.720
important graph

8
00:00:16.720 --> 00:00:18.800
this basically shows

9
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:20.720
what's going on with your english

10
00:00:20.720 --> 00:00:22.400
language skill

11
00:00:22.400 --> 00:00:24.880
over time so when you start learning

12
00:00:24.880 --> 00:00:26.800
english at the beginning you're like oh

13
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.920
my god there's so many exciting things

14
00:00:29.920 --> 00:00:31.199
so here

15
00:00:31.199 --> 00:00:35.520
you're like i'm excited

16
00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:38.159
and the progress is really trackable you

17
00:00:38.159 --> 00:00:40.079
just learned the alphabet you learned

18
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:42.479
how to say how are you and you're like

19
00:00:42.479 --> 00:00:45.200
okay the progress is happening

20
00:00:45.200 --> 00:00:48.320
now after that

21
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:50.879
you're like okay i've learned the basics

22
00:00:50.879 --> 00:00:52.479
but i still don't

23
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:55.520
speak english really i try to watch

24
00:00:55.520 --> 00:00:58.079
movies but you know i don't feel

25
00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.719
confident i don't feel like i've made it

26
00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:02.879
in english and here

27
00:01:02.879 --> 00:01:04.319
you're kind of stuck

28
00:01:04.319 --> 00:01:06.640
and this can continue for a long time

29
00:01:06.640 --> 00:01:08.400
for some people

30
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.159
they even do this like they start

31
00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:11.760
learning language they lose some of the

32
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:13.680
skills they've already acquired and this

33
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.000
is like the worst sometimes

34
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:18.560
this happens because people double down

35
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:21.200
on unnecessary things like learning more

36
00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.159
grammar taking more classes you say i

37
00:01:24.159 --> 00:01:25.759
want

38
00:01:25.759 --> 00:01:27.200
to give

39
00:01:27.200 --> 00:01:29.439
up

40
00:01:29.600 --> 00:01:31.280
and here

41
00:01:31.280 --> 00:01:34.159
you burn out

42
00:01:34.240 --> 00:01:35.840
which is really bad but then after you

43
00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:37.840
realize so after you watch this video

44
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:39.438
and you realize you need to change your

45
00:01:39.438 --> 00:01:41.119
strategy

46
00:01:41.119 --> 00:01:43.200
great thing happens and you become

47
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.920
advanced so in this video we're going to

48
00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:48.079
focus on the strategies that are going

49
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.119
to lead you to this advanced level

50
00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:53.680
and that would help you overcome

51
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.640
this intermediate plateau

52
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:58.799
if you're interested continue watching

53
00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.200
carefully and write things down i'm sure

54
00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.280
that by the end of this video you will

55
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:06.159
learn at least one new thing that would

56
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.560
help you progress with your language let

57
00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:10.399
me give you some numbers you need to

58
00:02:10.399 --> 00:02:12.239
know 3 000

59
00:02:12.239 --> 00:02:16.319
english words in order to understand 95

60
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:19.599
of english texts but in reality native

61
00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:23.040
speakers use and understand around 20

62
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:26.239
000 words so when you get to 3 000 it's

63
00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:28.480
enough and you're intermediate but it

64
00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:30.239
takes a lot more effort to become

65
00:02:30.239 --> 00:02:32.720
advanced and at this stage motivation is

66
00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:34.319
not that strong because when you're just

67
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:35.840
starting to learn a language you learn

68
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.720
10 words and you're like wow i've just

69
00:02:38.720 --> 00:02:42.000
learned 10 words from 0 to 10 amazing

70
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.280
but when you already know 3 000 words

71
00:02:45.280 --> 00:02:47.519
learning additional 10

72
00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:48.720
seems like

73
00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:50.959
not a big progress but again everything

74
00:02:50.959 --> 00:02:53.599
here has to do with motivation

75
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:55.519
setting the right goals and taking the

76
00:02:55.519 --> 00:02:58.080
right action let's talk about this the

77
00:02:58.080 --> 00:03:00.319
first method that's super helpful is

78
00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.280
called active learning now what happens

79
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.919
when you're intermediate you're like

80
00:03:05.919 --> 00:03:08.720
oh i can start watching youtube videos

81
00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:11.599
about investing in crypto

82
00:03:11.599 --> 00:03:12.480
or

83
00:03:12.480 --> 00:03:14.959
yeah i can start taking classes

84
00:03:14.959 --> 00:03:17.040
at a foreign university online or you

85
00:03:17.040 --> 00:03:19.360
start reading a book and you're like you

86
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:21.120
understand

87
00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.120
kind of what's going on

88
00:03:23.120 --> 00:03:25.200
but when somebody and like this is the

89
00:03:25.200 --> 00:03:27.840
best test try explaining someone what

90
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:30.000
you just heard if you're able to do that

91
00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:32.000
even in your language that means you

92
00:03:32.000 --> 00:03:33.919
actually understood because sometimes it

93
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.000
happens to me especially like i'm not a

94
00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:38.159
native speaker but sometimes i have to

95
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:39.920
talk to lawyers because i go through

96
00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:43.120
different deals and i talk to lawyers

97
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:44.640
and it seems like they use the

98
00:03:44.640 --> 00:03:46.959
vocabulary that i understand but when i

99
00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:48.560
try to explain to my husband what just

100
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:49.519
happened

101
00:03:49.519 --> 00:03:51.599
i feel stuck and this happens because i

102
00:03:51.599 --> 00:03:54.400
don't really understand and i have to go

103
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:56.879
one level down and again when it comes

104
00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.400
to lawyers in real life you can't really

105
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.040
go one level down but you are in a

106
00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:02.480
unique position when you're just

107
00:04:02.480 --> 00:04:04.480
learning a language so you can go one

108
00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:07.280
level down so i want you to start

109
00:04:07.280 --> 00:04:09.920
consuming content on a level where you

110
00:04:09.920 --> 00:04:11.760
can take notes

111
00:04:11.760 --> 00:04:14.239
and summarize whatever you just heard in

112
00:04:14.239 --> 00:04:17.199
a small text or in a small i use notion

113
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.759
all the time for whatever i'm learning

114
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.720
so you can write a small notion

115
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.800
about what you just heard so you're able

116
00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:26.080
to explain

117
00:04:26.080 --> 00:04:28.080
what you actually learned not just be

118
00:04:28.080 --> 00:04:29.839
like oh i just read this book didn't

119
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:31.440
really get it whatever but it sounds

120
00:04:31.440 --> 00:04:34.800
smart no we don't do that we want to be

121
00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.440
on a level that is challenging but at

122
00:04:37.440 --> 00:04:39.120
the same time we want to make sure we

123
00:04:39.120 --> 00:04:41.839
understand what's going on and this is

124
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:43.199
what i would love you to start

125
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.839
practicing right away when it comes to

126
00:04:45.839 --> 00:04:47.919
learning a language the best thing you

127
00:04:47.919 --> 00:04:50.080
can do for your language is to take

128
00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:52.080
one-on-one classes just because you're

129
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:54.560
getting personalized feedback

130
00:04:54.560 --> 00:04:56.479
and because you're practicing in real

131
00:04:56.479 --> 00:04:58.160
time and your brain is training

132
00:04:58.160 --> 00:04:59.440
everything

133
00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:01.680
speaking listening understanding

134
00:05:01.680 --> 00:05:04.080
information building sentences putting

135
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:05.279
your thoughts

136
00:05:05.279 --> 00:05:06.960
into language if you don't know how to

137
00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:08.479
find a teacher for your class i would

138
00:05:08.479 --> 00:05:10.960
recommend italki it's a global language

139
00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:12.400
learning community that connects

140
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:14.400
students and teachers for affordable and

141
00:05:14.400 --> 00:05:17.039
flexible one-on-one language lessons

142
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:19.279

143
00:05:19.279 --> 00:05:21.120
teachers and some of them are certified

144
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:22.639

and they also have community teachers

147
00:05:28.240 --> 00:05:30.160
who might be native speakers or who

148
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:32.320
might speak english as a second language

149
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:34.320
but they would be the ones to coach you

150
00:05:34.320 --> 00:05:36.000
through your english journey and not

151
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.759

time the link is in the description box

172
00:06:25.839 --> 00:06:28.880
tip number two start using authentic

173
00:06:28.880 --> 00:06:31.279
content when we're at this intermediate

174
00:06:31.279 --> 00:06:34.639
level the majority of things you've read

175
00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:37.440
and heard before probably came from your

176
00:06:37.440 --> 00:06:40.319
textbook or like a handout that you got

177
00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:42.880
in your english class

178
00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:45.600
which is kind of great but it's curated

179
00:06:45.600 --> 00:06:47.199
by your teacher

180
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.120
and it's probably curated by the authors

181
00:06:49.120 --> 00:06:51.199
of the book so it is not authentic

182
00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:52.880
content

183
00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:54.800
two downfalls here

184
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.400
first of all

185
00:06:56.400 --> 00:06:58.479
because it's not authentic it means that

186
00:06:58.479 --> 00:07:00.240
they're usu using

187
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:02.319
artificial language they don't use a lot

188
00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:04.720
of words that you would hear in everyday

189
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.680
lives

190
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.080
second you wouldn't understand all the

191
00:07:08.080 --> 00:07:11.280
jokes like insider gigs whatever like

192
00:07:11.280 --> 00:07:12.960
everybody's talking about squid game

193
00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:14.960
right now your textbook was written a

194
00:07:14.960 --> 00:07:16.639
couple years ago so they didn't know

195
00:07:16.639 --> 00:07:18.880
about squid game and you have to just

196
00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:20.560
because it's the cultural thing right

197
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.080
and when your teacher gives you a

198
00:07:22.080 --> 00:07:25.039
handout they probably created it maybe

199
00:07:25.039 --> 00:07:28.479
like again a year ago two years ago so

200
00:07:28.479 --> 00:07:30.880
the content is not up to date and

201
00:07:30.880 --> 00:07:32.560
because the world is changing all the

202
00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:35.520
time i would recommend consuming content

203
00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:38.080
on your own that means going to youtube

204
00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:40.880
watching videos by mr beast watching

205
00:07:40.880 --> 00:07:43.919
videos by i know whoever you like in

206
00:07:43.919 --> 00:07:45.919
your niche

207
00:07:45.919 --> 00:07:48.000
or in entertainment in general but try

208
00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:49.440
to be up to date with whatever you

209
00:07:49.440 --> 00:07:51.840
consume and uh

210
00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:54.000
dive away from all the textbooks they

211
00:07:54.000 --> 00:07:55.120
are great

212
00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:57.440
but i want you to experience real life

213
00:07:57.440 --> 00:07:59.759
with your english okay let's listen to a

214
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:02.160
video i made five years ago you have to

215
00:08:02.160 --> 00:08:04.080
note the topics that are common for

216
00:08:04.080 --> 00:08:06.639
toefl for example ancient caves in

217
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:09.520
france i don't know about you

218
00:08:09.520 --> 00:08:12.080
but i hear this huge difference in my

219
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:13.199
accent

220
00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:15.599
and i'm so grateful i actually

221
00:08:15.599 --> 00:08:17.919
documented my journey because if you ask

222
00:08:17.919 --> 00:08:20.160
me five years ago like if i wasn't a

223
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:22.479
youtuber i would never record myself

224
00:08:22.479 --> 00:08:25.680
speaking english but now it means a lot

225
00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:27.199
to just hear

226
00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:29.520
what i sounded like five years ago and

227
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:32.000
be like well that's amazing progress

228
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.080
because tracking your progress week

229
00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:36.958
after week yeah but

230
00:08:36.958 --> 00:08:38.719
we like this

231
00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:42.000
huge difference we like going from you

232
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:42.800
know

233
00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:44.240
speaking the language at all to being

234
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:45.279
proficient

235
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.440
so try to record yourself or at least

236
00:08:47.440 --> 00:08:49.679
measure some progress if i were you i

237
00:08:49.679 --> 00:08:51.360
would just start recording videos for

238
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.600
tick tock for whatever i just feel that

239
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:56.240
everybody should find an outlet where

240
00:08:56.240 --> 00:08:58.399
you spread information about your

241
00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:00.720
passions it could be a written blog

242
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.200
it could be tick-tock but this is also a

243
00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:05.120
way for you to measure

244
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:07.120
how much you've progressed in learning

245
00:09:07.120 --> 00:09:08.800
english okay

246
00:09:08.800 --> 00:09:10.958
next you need to answer this question

247
00:09:10.958 --> 00:09:13.760
honestly what if i say in five minutes

248
00:09:13.760 --> 00:09:16.000
you're going to interact with a native

249
00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.399
speaker and you have to choose one of

250
00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:21.120
two things would you write them a text

251
00:09:21.120 --> 00:09:23.760
or would you speak to them make a choice

252
00:09:23.760 --> 00:09:25.440
start typing the comment i want to read

253
00:09:25.440 --> 00:09:26.720
your comments

254
00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:29.120
so number one again would you speak to a

255
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:30.640
native speaker or would you write to a

256
00:09:30.640 --> 00:09:32.160
native speaker

257
00:09:32.160 --> 00:09:34.559
number two do you want a native speaker

258
00:09:34.559 --> 00:09:37.600
to record an audio message for you or do

259
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:39.360
you want them to

260
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:40.958
write an answer

261
00:09:40.958 --> 00:09:43.040
write this down okay so whatever you've

262
00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:45.120
chosen if you chose that you want to

263
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:46.800
write to a native speaker and you want

264
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:48.958
to receive a written reply from a native

265
00:09:48.958 --> 00:09:51.600
speaker that means

266
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.360
that this is something you're strong at

267
00:09:53.360 --> 00:09:55.200
there's a big chance that you prefer

268
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.440
stronger skill and what i want you to

269
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.160
focus on is your weaker skill so if you

270
00:10:00.160 --> 00:10:01.519
decided that you're gonna write to a

271
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.839
native speaker then i want you to focus

272
00:10:03.839 --> 00:10:06.399
on speaking and if you decided that you

273
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.958
want to receive a written reply from a

274
00:10:08.958 --> 00:10:11.519
native speaker i want you to focus on

275
00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:13.360
your listening because

276
00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.000
this means that you subconsciously

277
00:10:16.000 --> 00:10:18.160
realize that you're not that good at

278
00:10:18.160 --> 00:10:19.679
speaking and listening

279
00:10:19.679 --> 00:10:22.078
and always when you learn something

280
00:10:22.078 --> 00:10:24.078
focus on your weak

281
00:10:24.078 --> 00:10:26.240
areas because it's really easy to focus

282
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:28.640
on whatever is going well and that means

283
00:10:28.640 --> 00:10:31.120
your practice is skill which is already

284
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:33.440
at a good level and i want you to become

285
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.760
better in general again don't forget to

286
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.519
mention comments below

287
00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:39.360
what types of communication would you

288
00:10:39.360 --> 00:10:41.679
prefer it's just interesting to see the

289
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:44.640
overall dynamic here the next tip try

290
00:10:44.640 --> 00:10:47.279
new methods the thing is our brain likes

291
00:10:47.279 --> 00:10:49.920
novelty so whenever we encounter words

292
00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:51.600
that we've learned before but in new

293
00:10:51.600 --> 00:10:54.720
context we remember them better i also

294
00:10:54.720 --> 00:10:57.120
want you to avoid this shiny object

295
00:10:57.120 --> 00:11:00.720
thing syndrome uh that means that

296
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:02.559
you found this youtube channel on

297
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:05.040
youtube and you saved it you bought this

298
00:11:05.040 --> 00:11:06.880
book to read later you subscribe to

299
00:11:06.880 --> 00:11:08.720
netflix to watch all the shows but you

300
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.720
don't really get to doing that or you

301
00:11:10.720 --> 00:11:12.958
have all of these tabs open on your

302
00:11:12.958 --> 00:11:14.958
google chrome but you never go through

303
00:11:14.958 --> 00:11:16.480
them i want to make sure that you

304
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.640
actually start doing something like my

305
00:11:18.640 --> 00:11:20.800
recommendation here would be

306
00:11:20.800 --> 00:11:22.958
watch emma chamberlain's vlog and let me

307
00:11:22.958 --> 00:11:24.720
know what you think i think she's

308
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:28.480
amazing i think her english is really

309
00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.399
easy to understand

310
00:11:30.399 --> 00:11:32.078
she has her own style she speaks

311
00:11:32.078 --> 00:11:34.160
american english the pace of speech is

312
00:11:34.160 --> 00:11:36.240
really slow and she talks about daily

313
00:11:36.240 --> 00:11:38.000
stuff so it's really really easy to

314
00:11:38.000 --> 00:11:40.880
consume really easy to follow

315
00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:43.040
take a recipe in english

316
00:11:43.040 --> 00:11:45.120
and try to make something so after this

317
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.200
video i want you to experiment with one

318
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:49.279
new thing in english whether it's a new

319
00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:51.200
youtuber that you watched maybe it's a

320
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.360
new recipe that you tried whether that's

321
00:11:53.360 --> 00:11:56.000
a workout that you did while watching

322
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:57.839
youtube there is this channel yoga with

323
00:11:57.839 --> 00:12:00.958
adrian and i do her yoga classes once a

324
00:12:00.958 --> 00:12:03.440
week and they're all in english and one

325
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:06.639
more tip redefine your goals and this is

326
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:10.240
like something let's dig deeper in

327
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.920
yourself

328
00:12:11.920 --> 00:12:13.920
what is your end goal with the english

329
00:12:13.920 --> 00:12:16.000
language and you might say marina i want

330
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.160
to be advanced but why do you want to be

331
00:12:18.160 --> 00:12:20.639
advanced what is there and you might say

332
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.399
oh marina but i want to go to a

333
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:24.480
university in the usa

334
00:12:24.480 --> 00:12:26.480
why do you want to go there let's focus

335
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:27.760
on the feelings that you want to

336
00:12:27.760 --> 00:12:29.440
experience let me give you an example

337
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:31.360
that would justify whatever i'm doing

338
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.519
right now when i was a kid i wanted to

339
00:12:33.519 --> 00:12:35.200
be a singer i wanted to be like britney

340
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:36.720
spears

341
00:12:36.720 --> 00:12:38.480
then i realized you know my voice is

342
00:12:38.480 --> 00:12:40.639
fine but not like

343
00:12:40.639 --> 00:12:43.200
that of britney spears and uh maybe i'm

344
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.279
not the best performer in the world but

345
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:46.958
then i started digging deeper and i

346
00:12:46.958 --> 00:12:49.760
realized what i actually want to do

347
00:12:49.760 --> 00:12:51.279
i want

348
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:53.200
to be in front of people i want to talk

349
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:55.200
to people i want audience

350
00:12:55.200 --> 00:12:56.880
and i want to talk about something i'm

351
00:12:56.880 --> 00:12:58.000
passionate about

352
00:12:58.000 --> 00:12:59.839
hello youtube i'm talking about a thing

353
00:12:59.839 --> 00:13:02.399
that i'm passionate about so sometimes

354
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:04.320
we're focused and we're obsessed with

355
00:13:04.320 --> 00:13:06.559
some goal

356
00:13:06.559 --> 00:13:09.360
that is just one of interpretations of

357
00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:12.480
what we really want so i want it to be

358
00:13:12.480 --> 00:13:14.720
useful for other people i want to be

359
00:13:14.720 --> 00:13:16.958
useful for a lot of people and i thought

360
00:13:16.958 --> 00:13:18.399
singing

361
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.279
was a means to an end but in reality

362
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.519
there are many many things i could do

363
00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:24.958
and i found another one because i

364
00:13:24.958 --> 00:13:27.040
wouldn't be so successful saying um

365
00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:28.160
maybe

366
00:13:28.160 --> 00:13:29.839
i would have been successful but i don't

367
00:13:29.839 --> 00:13:32.720
know but anyways so by asking yourself

368
00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:34.720
why why why all the time do you want to

369
00:13:34.720 --> 00:13:36.480
go to american university why do you

370
00:13:36.480 --> 00:13:38.480
want to go to an american university oh

371
00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.399
marina but i want to get a job why do

372
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:42.399
you want to get a job and in the end

373
00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:44.240
maybe you're like i just want to make

374
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.000
enough money to buy a house for my

375
00:13:46.000 --> 00:13:49.000
parents

376
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.679
there is another goal then getting to an

377
00:13:51.679 --> 00:13:53.600
american university is a lot of hassle

378
00:13:53.600 --> 00:13:55.600
but maybe right now you can take a

379
00:13:55.600 --> 00:13:57.440
course in english in something that

380
00:13:57.440 --> 00:13:58.958
you're passionate about and start

381
00:13:58.958 --> 00:14:01.199
working remotely for an american company

382
00:14:01.199 --> 00:14:03.440
and make enough money and buy a house

383
00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:04.880
for your parents and it's going to

384
00:14:04.880 --> 00:14:06.639
happen faster

385
00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.839
reassess your goals maybe the end goal

386
00:14:09.839 --> 00:14:11.600
is to

387
00:14:11.600 --> 00:14:14.320
live by the ocean and work remotely but

388
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.639

389
00:14:16.639 --> 00:14:19.839
like dig deeper dig deeper what is this

390
00:14:19.839 --> 00:14:21.279
