How To Learn English In A Year

welcome to speak English with Tiffany I

am teacher Tiffany let’s jump right in

phase 1 all right

month number 1 the first month is going

to require you to focus on basic grammar

memorization and listening so let’s get

started the first thing you want to do

is find a basic English grammar book now

the grammar book I always advise

students to get is grammar in use but

again you can find any grammar book

maybe in your country there is a very

popular grammar book for English you can

get that grammar book but the point is

the book needs to be basic English

grammar ok basic English grammar now

what you’re gonna do after that is

remember that your goal is to learn 3

grammar rules a day that’s right 3

grammar rules every single day so let’s

break this down really quickly so if

there are 30 days in the month and you

are learning 3 per day that means in one

month you will learn 90 English grammar

rules now sometimes students say teacher

3 is just such a small amount but I

promise you it’s important to start with

a small number because you will continue

moving forward ok

now you want to remember to memorize the

meaning and 20 example sentences for

each grammar rule now this is also very

important so what’s gonna happen is

again you have one day during that day

you’re going to learn three grammar

rules okay now for each of those grammar

rules you need to find 20 example

sentences so that means in one day you

will have found 60 example sentences

okay 60 example sentences based on the

three grammar rules that you learn ok

and finally you want to listen to an

English program every day for 30 minutes

this is so important I remember when I

first started to study Korean

I actually didn’t understand anything

because I was up level one student but

what I did do every single day in the

morning I would listen to something in

Korean you see what happens is your

brain can take in information so even

though you don’t think you understand

your brain is actually taking in the

information ok so everyday listen for 30

minutes alright next month number two

basic grammar creating sentences reading

vocabulary and also listening these are

the focuses for month number two now

what you’re gonna do is once again take

the three grammar rules that you were

learning per day these are the same

grammar rules you learned from month one

okay so three per day and you’re going

to make a sentence of your own but the

key is it must be the same pattern as

the ones you memorize okay so for

example let’s say you learned this

pattern I have friends okay again

remember this is basic grammar so if

you’ve started off and during the first

month this is the basic sentence you

learned well now in the second month you

can change this word right here to say I

have parents okay so again the same

pattern but now you’ve added your own

word instead of this word okay alright

now the next thing you want to do is

find an easy English passage to read

online and read it now again it’s

important that the essay or article is

very easy and there are many websites

online that you can use that can

actually give you example essays in

English and a lot of them are easy so

you can look in the description and I’ve

listed a website that gives easy English

essays and articles okay all right next

thing is you want to write

down the unknown vocabulary words and

you’re going to memorize the definitions

and one example sentence so as you’re

reading the article there are going to

be words that you don’t know but don’t

worry what you’re going to be doing each

day when you read an article that’s

right this is happening every day of the

second month you’re gonna find new

vocabulary words so your vocabulary is

naturally going to increase and as you

learn your brain will expand and you

will understand more of the English

language okay all right now the final

thing you want to do is once again

listen to an English program for 30

minutes this can be on TV this can be on

YouTube wherever you find an English

program listen to it okay

all right month number three basic

grammar various topics reading

vocabulary and listening so now you’ll

notice that now we have various topics

you still see basic grammar the reason

is because for this month you’re gonna

pick one topic and find an English

article okay they’re gonna read the

article out loud now the 30 topics you

can pick whatever you want to actually

read about maybe you want to read about

education maybe you want to read about

entertainment or sports or maybe you

want to read about fashion you can pick

the topics okay now the key comes in

right here the reason we still have

basic grammar highlighted is because

you’re going to take three grammar rules

per day and look for sentences that have

the grammar rule inside of the article

or passage you are reading what you want

to do is you want to highlight them okay

this is why we have a highlighter right

here so again let me explain it clearer

okay so right here you have an English

article then over here you have the

three grammar rules so what’s going to

happen is in your article you’re going

to skin

through and see if you can find any of

these grammar rules inside of the

article okay

so you’re kind of gonna be like a

detective but you’re helping your brain

to recognize grammar in real life okay

all right now after that what you’re

gonna do is you’re going to write down

three new vocabulary words only three

okay from the article there may be a lot

more in the article but I really only

want you guys to pick out three new

vocabulary words you don’t want to be

overwhelmed and trust me you’re gonna be

learning other vocabulary words so don’t

even worry about it okay so again pick

three vocabulary words from the article

the article that came from up here and

you’re going to find the meanings and

one example sentence okay so similar to

what we did before okay so find the

meaning and an example sentence okay so

this is the word this is the meaning and

this is the example sentence okay all

right and last you’re going to listen to

an English program every day for 30

minutes but this time I highlighted

something important natural English not

the news teacher why is this important

well let me explain a lot of students

will be beginners but they want to watch

CNN or they want to watch a news program

well the problem is actually native

speakers don’t speak like that in

regular life we don’t speak like how

they speak on the news so you actually

don’t want to watch a news program

you’re trying to hear natural English so

you want to either watch a TV program or

even a youtube video something with more

natural English okay all right let’s

move on so here’s your progress report

for the first three months now you will

have the ability to properly use 90

basic English grammar rules that’s

amazing okay also you will have improved

your English listening skills why

because for every single day you’ve

listened to at least 30 minutes of

English programs okay so 90 days and you

have 30 minutes every single day that’s

a lot of listening okay

and you also will have improved your

English vocabulary okay so your progress

report will be amazing at the end of

three months now month number four

listening

review and practice this month is very

important because it is the month that

you will use for review you heard me

right the entire month is for review

okay so you start off by doing this

review the sentences you memorized for

the grammar rules okay you’re gonna

practice them over and over and over

again now remember you learned 90

different grammar rules and for each of

these grammar rules you found 20

sentences but I want you to select three

of those 20 sentences so three times 90

is going to give you 270 sentences that

you are going to review at this time now

the next thing you’re going to do is

read all of the sentences you created

for the grammar rules out loud three

times there’s something that happens

when you actually read out loud it’s

kind of like your brain is able to

process the information even better so

read it out loud next find three images

this is one of my favorite techniques

for practicing another language okay so

you’re going to find three images every

day of the month and make sentences

about the images based on the grammar

rules so each day is three images or

three grammar rules okay so you can

choose the grammar rules that were the

most difficult for you and you can find

images that actually display or show

something that you can talk about

and apply the grammar rules okay and the

next thing you’re gonna do is make

flashcards for all the vocabulary words

and you’re going to test yourself over

and over throughout the month again this

is also a great way to practice when you

are studying English now many of you are

going to be practicing alone so I’m

giving you tips that will actually help

you to study even if you don’t have a

partner okay so make your own flashcards

and actually practice with them and

finally the last thing you’re going to

do for this month is listen to an

English program for 30 minutes of course

but this time you’re going to pick a

topic you are interested in prior to

this you were just picking anything you

wanted but I want you to specifically

pick a topic that you are interested in

for this month okay so you see what’s

happening is at the end of this four

month period you will have mastered

basic English grammar you have the

foundation you have the application you

have the vocabulary and you also have

the time to review so let’s move on to

phase number two now month number five

leads us into the intermediate grammar

but what you will notice is that many

aspects of this month are similar to a

previous month that we learned okay that

we learned about earlier so we have the

grammar we have the memorization and we

have the listening but there are a few

things that are different for month

number five the main difference is

intermediate English okay so once again

like before I told you to find a grammar

book now you’re gonna find a grammar

book now that actually all this drawing

is thing a little bit crazy buying a

grammar book that actually goes over

intermediate grammar okay again grammar

and use is a wonderful book but you can

find any other grammar book that

actually goes over English grammar okay

but intermediate level

so that’s the main difference for month

number five now if we move on to month

number six we’re gonna see a few more

differences okay once again intermediate

grammar and we have the create sentences

aspect reading and vocabulary and

listening however when we look on the

first group we have right here a star

because we’re gonna have three grammar

rules and they’re gonna be the same but

instead of just making a sentence of

your own we’re gonna do something else

so let’s move a little closer you see

what’s gonna happen is we’re going to

also add two basic grammar sentences b4

and after the sentence you created so

we’re gonna have a total of five

sentences so let me explain how this

will work so let’s say for example you

have your paper or you have your

notebook okay and in your notebook you

have grammar rules and this is the first

grammar rules of grammar number one and

you have your signature this

intermediate grammar okay so you’ve

written your example sentence right here

however this says to give two basic

grammar sentences before and after that

means one right here - right here and

then after one right here and two right

here so what happens now we have a total

of five sentences okay that’s what

you’re gonna do for this one okay now

another thing that’s a little bit

different is you want to find an

intermediate English article blog to

read article or blog to read on line

before you were just reading easy

English essays or easy English articles

but now you want to step it up a little

bit and you want to look for articles or

blog posts that are a little bit longer

or have more details in them okay all

right and one more thing you’re gonna

listen to English programs like before

for the 30 minutes but now you’re gonna

also

start watching an English movie once or

twice a week or you can also decide to

watch a drama or a series and again if

you don’t know what drama to watch click

the link in the top right of your screen

because I have a video where I go over

some very popular American dramas that

are really good to watch so that’s what

month number six looks like now if we

move on to month number seven again

we’re gonna see some similarities but

again intermediate we have the grammar

the various topics reading vocabulary

and we have listening so if we look

closer now again this is the same as the

previous one and this is a little bit

different so if we look right here let’s

go a little closer here take three

grammar rules per day and look for

sentences that have the grammar rule but

now what you’re going to do is write a

summary of the article now again if you

don’t know how to write a summary don’t

even worry about it because again top

right of your screen click the link I

have a video where I explain exactly how

to write a summary in English that’s

what you kind of start doing during this

month then the other thing that’s a

little bit different is you’re gonna

listen but you’re also gonna continue to

watch a movie or a drama or series once

or twice a week now I’ll be very honest

with you

the more you can do this the more

helpful it will be for your English

ability remember this method that I’m

showing to you or teaching you all is

really beneficial for those who maybe

can’t get to an institute and they’re

studying at home or they’re studying

alone okay so if you can find an

American drama or American program that

you can watch on a regular basis and

we’re really helpful for you or you can

even again you can use your computer and

you can watch a youtube video whatever

it is as long as it is in English now

when you’re watching these videos you’re

not studying you’re really just enjoying

yourself and you want to be smiling you

don’t want to be stressed you don’t want

to seem like you’re actually studying so

hard then you start to

English you want to actually be smiling

when you are watching these shows now if

it’s a drama of course you’re not

smiling but be happy or enjoy what

you’re doing okay all right so this is

month number seven now your progress

support you see what happens is at the

end of this three-month period you are

going to notice a difference you’re

going to notice your ability to properly

use ninety intermediate English grammar

rules

you also notice and improved English

listening skills and the ability to

understand things in context that’s

another benefit of reading a lot in

English and watching a lot of programs

in English and finally you noticed

improved English vocabulary and writing

skills again you need to watch the

videos I’ve done on how to improve your

writing skills and also how to write an

essay okay alright so moving on to month

number eight now month number eight is

like month number four this month is

actually our review month for the

intermediate level as far as the grammar

okay so again a lot of things are

similar to our previous review month

however there is something a little bit

different right here and also right here

so let’s look at a little bit closer you

see what happens is you’re going to find

three images every day but this time

you’re going to write a paragraph three

to five sentences about each image now

before you only had to write one

sentence but now what’s happening is

you’re gonna have an image on your paper

or something that you’re looking at and

for that one image you’re gonna have to

write three to five sentences so you’re

expanding your ability to write longer

okay now if you need help with this like

how to make longer sentences in English

again click the top right of your screen

I have a link to the book that I wrote

on this that will help you a lot okay

alright so the next thing was listening

to an English program and once again

you’re going to be watching an English

movie once or twice a week or a drama or

a series okay

so again this is month number eight now

at the end of this phase you will have

mastered intermediate English grammar

you have the foundation the application

vocabulary and also you have reviewed

for one full month so leaving in two

phase number three phase number three

starts with month number nine again

you’re seeing a little bit of repetition

for this month as well however the

difference is you’re gonna find an

advanced English grammar book once again

you can decide which grammar book you

want to use but I’ll be very honest with

you even if you’re not able to find an

advanced English grammar book many times

you can actually just read more articles

and you will recognize new grammar rules

and you’ll learn them in action

so again if you’re not able to find a

book don’t worry just start reading

articles in English more and see if you

can recognize new grammar rules okay

all right month number ten okay once

again advanced grammar is the one we’re

focusing on right here and for this

month we have two unique differences so

let’s look at these a little closer all

right so again you’re gonna take three

grammar rules per day and make a

sentence of your own but you’re gonna

add two basic grammar sentences and to

intermediate grammar sentences before

and after that means a total of nine

sentences so again I will show you

visually okay so let’s say you’ve

written one sentence okay so right here

I wrote one sentence again based on

advanced grammar okay but before that

sentence I need to write two basics so

alright one and then I write two and I

also need to write two intermediate so I

have one and then I have

• and I need to do the same thing after

the sentence as well now the order does

not matter so you’ll notice I have the

basic being first and the intermediate

second that’s up to you what’s most

important is that you’re able to write

all of the sentences okay so again a

total of nine sentences okay all right

now the next thing that is unique for

this one is finding an intermediate or

advanced English article or blog now I

put advanced because you want to be at

the point where you can read long

articles in English and again you may

find an article that’s very long and has

a lot of complicated vocabulary words

well by this month you want to be at the

point where even if you do see

complicated English vocabulary words

you’re not afraid of them you simply

highlight them and you continue to study

by either looking these words up in a

dictionary or simply writing them down

and practicing them at a later time but

I want you to be able to read articles

that are not necessarily that easy for

you okay at this stage all right okay so

the next thing is listening again to an

English program continue watching

English movies and drama or series of

dramas okay all right now we’re gonna

move on to month number 11

now month number 11 also has various

topics reading vocabulary and listening

now the two things gonna look at closer

are right here so for this one you’re

going to write a summary of the article

now the difference is this summary is

going to be a bit longer so for your

intermediate level when you were doing

the previous month maybe your article

was simply a paragraph okay maybe your

summary of the article is a paragraph

well now you’re going to write at least

two preferably three paragraphs to

summarize the article now that means the

article needs to be longer than three

paragraphs so you want to get to

the point to where you’re able to

organize your thoughts now again

remember if you don’t know how to do

this you can check my other videos where

I teach you how to organize your

thoughts and organize information which

helps you to write a summary better okay

all right and finally continue watching

English movies or drama series okay

alright so that’s month number 11 now

your progress report you see now you

have the ability to properly use 90

advanced English grammar rules okay you

also have improved your English

listening skills and your ability to

understand things in context and you

have improved your English vocabulary

and writing skills

and I’m telling you this method requires

you to write and read a lot but the more

you put in the more will come out and

you’ll be an amazing speaker okay all

right

finally month number 12 again this is

our month where we review everything

that we learn so again you’re gonna

write a paragraph three to five

sentences about these images and we have

this highlighted here so very quickly

you remember everything right here when

you’re talking about these images you’re

gonna make sure that you’re giving a

longer explanation than you did before

and also when you’re coming here you’re

gonna remember to do the movies once or

twice a week and also start watching at

the drama or series okay so at the end

of that period you will have mastered

advanced English grammar the foundation

the application vocabulary interview now

to be very honest with you actually

advanced English grammar takes a long

time to master so you never really stop

learning English you just keep improving
