How to learn and remember English vocabulary

[Music]

hello everyone

and welcome back to english with lucy

today i’ve got

i know i always say it’s an exciting

video but i think today’s video

is especially exciting we’re going to

throw it back a bit

we’re going to go back in time to one of

my first

ever videos if i remember correctly it

was

called how to learn and remember

vocabulary and i basically spoke about

the method that i used

to become fluent in spanish in case you

weren’t aware i am fluent in spanish

it’s a language that i

thoroughly enjoyed learning

now in the video where i spoke about my

method for acquiring vocabulary

i spoke about keeping a vocab diary and

i’d like to update this method now

because i think i’ve got some really

relevant tips to share with you i know

that a lot of you are trying to learn

english from your home and perhaps you

don’t have many

speakers of english to practice with

this was my problem when i started

learning spanish

so i can really relate with you when i

was going about my daily life

in my hometown in england i was

constantly thinking about

acquiring spanish vocabulary so from the

minute you leave the house

you need to be on the lookout for words

that you don’t know

you’re training your brain to be

constantly looking

and confirming that it knows words in

that second language

and immediately when it doesn’t know

alert

you write that word down and then you

know that you’re going to search for it

later i always like to think of learning

a language as

filling in the gaps i’d much rather go

through my life

and noticing where i’m lacking and

filling in those gaps

than working methodically through a

textbook

i think it’s much better to prioritize

learning vocabulary and

grammar that is relevant to you whenever

i was on my way to work on public

transport

i’d be looking around do i know that

word do i know that word and if i didn’t

know it

i would note it down and at the end of

the day i would then

go through all of the words that i’d

written down

in my own language ready to research and

translate in my second language

this was such an effective method for me

once i started doing this

my vocabulary just skyrocketed

and i want to be able to help you do

that i have created something

really exciting i have created the tool

that i wish i had had back then but it’s

for you

learners of english so what have i made

for you

well i have made the english plan

which is not one but actually four

vocabulary diaries but they are so much

more

than just simple vocabulary diaries

there is so much in each of these i

can’t wait to show you

so each edition each of these is a 90

day

or three month study planner so all

together you have

one full year of english study planning

you can get them one by one or you can

get the bundle of all four

one whole year of learning at a much

better deal

so in each planner you have a daily

vocab diary with space

for 10 new words or phrases and then

more note space as well you can use this

for grammar

or for additional words that you’ve

learned throughout the day

and on each page you have an idiom of

the day with an example

and a definition each edition has

different idioms so in total

you will have over 365 different idioms

so for a year

you can learn a new idiom every day as

well as all the vocabulary in your vocab

diary

one thing i really love is that i

haven’t put in set months and days i’ve

put in

a month three day 26 for example

and you can put in your own date so you

can stop and start at any time

so you could choose to use this

religiously

every single day or you can stop and

start as you please

you can see where you’ll be in 90 days

time exactly

or you could see where you are in 90

study days time that might take 100 days

or 120 days but it’s 90 days in this

book

when you start each 90-day planner you

have the opportunity to write out

your long-term goals which are really

really important when you’re learning a

language

we also have a monthly goals page so you

can

set realistic goals for each month which

podcast you’re going to listen to which

film you’re going to watch how you’re

going to improve your vocabulary or your

speaking and

for each month we have something that i

am in love with at the moment and that

is

a habit tracker habit trackers are so

satisfying to use

you basically use them to start new good

habits or also to get rid of existing

bad habits

the habit tracker comes with reading

writing listening and speaking

but i’ve also as an example filled in

other things like attending a

conversation class

talking in english on whatsapp for

example and each day throughout the

month you mark if you have performed or

avoided

that activity and then at the end of the

month you’ve got a really

cool illustration of how you’re

progressing it can be really really

motivating because you don’t want to

miss

that little square you want to color in

at the end of each day

at the end of each month you also have

little language boost pages which

are pages of my best english tips

we’ve got everything from collocations

to prepositions to pronunciation

there’s loads in there there are also

pages to fill out

synonyms that you’ve learned along the

way antonyms as well

opposites spelling practice irregular

verb tables

personal dictionary so that you can

write down the most important words that

you’ve learned throughout the 90 day

period

there’s extra space for grammar notes so

a little example of the vocab diary in

action

here all of the words that i’ve picked

up throughout the day

the date and also some reminders the

minute you remember

that you have to do something to do with

language note it down so then you can

relax

and think about it when you get home i

can’t wait for you to try the english

plan

i hope you find this vocabulary

acquisition method

as effective as i did for me it

transformed my spanish so i hope that it

transforms your english

i’m sure it will it’s such a good method

there’s so much in there to help you

if you would like to get your hands on

one of these or four of these

i’ve left the link to the store in the

description box

we are doing a pre-sale so this is going

to be very limited

they are all made and designed in

england and they will be sent from here

so we’re doing a pre-sale you’ve got to

get in your order now

we’re only doing the pre-sale for two

weeks i can offer you a much better deal

if you go

for the full book bundle that’s one

whole year of studying

if you go for this deal you basically

get one book free pay for three

get one free i’ve never made anything

like this before i’ve never made

and sent anything physical to you so i’m

really excited

that’s why we’re doing the pre-sale we

don’t know what’s going to happen so

it’s very limited

so make sure you don’t miss out i can’t

wait to see where you will be

in 90 days time or in one year’s time

you’re going to learn so much vocabulary

and it will all be here
