don’t go anywhere because i am going to
tell you a story for
story time
a i said a story time
all right
now
many of you
have told me over and over again how
much you’ve enjoyed the stories that i
tell at the end of each of my english
lessons
but
many of you don’t know the story behind
this channel why i started teaching
english on youtube and why i am so
passionate about helping you and other
english learners
improve their english and speak english
with confidence so i want to tell you
about
the class that changed everything so i
was an english teacher in korea for 10
years about 10 years
and i had one special class
that
really affected my decision to start a
youtube channel
so when i was in south korea
i taught thousands of students
and
one day my boss approached me and said
tiff
we have some advanced students
but they need help because our
curriculum they’ve already went through
the entire curriculum would you mind
coming up with the new curriculum to
help these students i said sure i loved
helping i loved creating new resources
for english students so i said okay i’ll
do it
so i remember that class there were
about 10 students in that class and i’m
going to tell you about specific
students because many of them are still
a part of my life now and many of them
affected my life
so this class was made up of students
that were advanced english speakers they
had been at our institute for a long
time so we could have conversations very
easily now when i met them i noticed
that they all had one problem they were
all experiencing one challenge they
could understand me they could express
themselves however they were not able to
speak for long periods of time
they were not able to really speak like
a native english speaker and their
fluency just needed a little bit of help
so i developed a plan i came up with the
curriculum and for the next two months i
was going to teach the curriculum to
these students
my first goal was to help them organize
their thoughts you’re seeing the
connection right between this channel
and what i taught the students
i wanted to help them start thinking
like a native english speaker so i
taught them the five w’s which you all
know who what when where and why
i explained to them and emphasized the
importance of the five w’s and i watched
them change
i watched them start to think in english
like a native english speaker i watched
their speech improve i watched their
fluency improved and i was so happy
because i saw them gain more confidence
then i taught them how to give a speech
in english and by the end of the
semester they were all able to give a
10-minute speech without any notes
something that even native english
speakers struggle to do
but i realized something else
if i was able to help these 10 students
with these formulas and curriculum the
curriculum i produced
how many more students could i help
and that’s when this youtube channel was
started i wanted a place where i could
provide lessons for english learners
initially just in korea but you know how
youtube works students from around the
world started finding my english lessons
and the more students i was able to help
the more i wanted to produce lessons i
wanted to work harder to help more
people
so why am i telling you this story’s not
done
even though i’ve hit 1 million
subscribers because of you
it just makes me want to work harder it
makes me want to help you even more
reach your goals so i’m happy to have
reached 1 million subscribers but now
i’m going to work even harder to help
you gain confidence
now back to the students from that class
the class that really led me to start
this youtube channel
you see one of the students from that
class
we got really close he was a guy who’s
very nice guy
and
he studied hard he worked hard and i
really got to know him so much so that i
started tutoring him and helped him get
a job because of his english skills
now that same young man is now married
to one of my best friends my korean best
friend
they got married i put them together so
this class
affected my life in big ways now he and
his wife they have a child together and
he’ll be in my life for the rest of my
life
another student was an older lady and
i’ll never forget her because when she
entered my class she was shy she wasn’t
sure of herself even though her english
was good but she gained confidence after
studying the methods that i taught in
class after seeing other students
flourish and then the other students
that encouraged her
and i’ll never forget her face by the
end of that course how confident she was
to speak in a language that wasn’t her
own i had another guy in that class he
was a pilot for the military and when i
first met him he was a very proud man
and he had this look on his face like
can this woman really teach me anything
by the end of the course by the end of
him studying my methods not only did he
respect me more but he had more
confidence in his abilities he spoke
better english
and these are just three of the ten
students from that class where
everything started
that class led me to start this youtube
channel and i appreciated them and i
continued to help them moving forward as
well we had another course that i led uh
i taught them the next semester
what i’m saying to you is if it hadn’t
been for that class this youtube channel
may have never
started
if it wasn’t for students that needed my
help and if it wasn’t for the progress
that they made i may have never realized
the effect
of teaching the methods
so again i thank you so much for giving
me the honor of being your teacher i’m
going to work even harder to help you
reach your goals to gain the confidence
you need to speak english like a native
english speaker so again
thank you so much from the bottom of my
heart i love you all and i can’t wait to
see you next week for another lesson

don’t forget for the next 24 hours my
gift to you to say thank you is 50
