30 Minute Morning Routine For English Students
do you find it difficult to study
english you know like you have work you
have family and you have other
responsibilities and you just can’t seem
to find the time to study english
i understand when i was studying korean
i experienced the same difficulties
trying to balance work and family and
friends and still study another language
it’s not that easy that’s why i created
this 30 minute routine just for you
this routine is going to help you take
your english to the next level i’m
teacher tiffany let’s jump right in
[Music]
all right so here’s the deal you want a
30-minute morning routine but you have
these questions how can you have fun
studying english in 30 minutes
yes it is possible to enjoy studying
english that is my goal to give you
confidence and to help you enjoy english
alright so how can you have fun studying
english in only 30 minutes how can you
learn something in 30 minutes and how
can you be creative in only 30 minutes
here we go we’re gonna start with step
one
watch an english video now this is so
very important now we’re only going to
spend five minutes on this step
that’s right five minutes now there’s so
many things that you need to do as an
english learner but starting your
morning off by watching an english video
is gonna help you in so many ways and
you only need five minutes now the first
step will take five minutes this five
minute period will help you take
information in i want you to think about
children like babies when they come out
the womb they can’t talk they can
definitely cry but they cannot talk so
for a long period of time for months
they’re simply taking information in
they’re learning the language and
they’re not saying anything so you first
need to activate that part of your brain
by watching something in english and
spending five minutes can help you do
that okay so here we go five minutes now
again like i said this basically
activates your english brain
now this is the fun part the main focus
of this step is fun you want to start
your morning routine with something that
you enjoy can you imagine waking up in
the morning and having to study an
english book
oh i’m so tired i need to go to work but
i have to open an english book first
well no i want you to first start your
day with something fun something you
enjoy so watching in video or watching a
video in english not just an english
video about grammar but an english video
about something you’re interested in is
going to be fun all right now another
thing i want to bring to your attention
this makes it easier to take information
in
and also you can find a video wherever
you want for this step you will
basically find an interesting english
video on youtube television or another
video platform now
you can find a video on the platform you
like the most for example netflix
many of you actually have a netflix
subscription now remember this step is
only five minutes so there may be a show
that you really enjoy well watch it for
five minutes now if you have more than
30 minutes go ahead watch it longer but
i want you to get in the habit of in the
morning starting with five minutes
watching a video in english for five
minutes all right so let’s look at how
this is done here we go
so again there are many different things
that you may be interested in for
example maybe you like comedy or travel
or sports cooking and there’s a list of
10 things that i put here right uh for
example you guys know that i love to
exercise i love running i love art
you’ve seen some of my artwork in the
previous video so first think about your
personal interests what are your hobbies
think about those things and you want to
watch a video for five minutes connected
to your interest or your hobby alright
so again the topic of interest and a
video on that topic all right
now suggestions for example you guys
also know that i love cooking because i
love to eat yes i exercise so that i can
eat more i really like cooking all right
so there’s a very popular youtube
channel that i watch it’s called hot for
food so i could watch one of their
videos or maybe you like exercising like
me
global cycling network is also a very
popular youtube channel
in english that speaks about cycling so
again something you’re interested in all
right or maybe you enjoy
travel
a very very popular youtube channel is
kara and nate so again
you can change it up every day pick one
of your interests and find a youtube
channel that has a video about your
interest okay that’s the first step for
five minutes now after you’ve done that
we need to do the next step step number
two you’re going to learn three new
things so here’s what’s going to happen
this step only lasts for 10 minutes the
second step will take 10 minutes this 10
minute period will help you process the
information from step number one
remember during that first step we only
spent five minutes watching something
that we were interested in so we took
information in now for step two for 10
minutes we are going to process that
information but remember i said
three new things it’s very important
okay so let me go into more detail all
right
basically spend time grasping and
understanding the information now
learn the main focus of this step is
learning remember the first step was
focused on fun having a good time right
now we’re focused on learning so
you want to concentrate on understanding
the information you took in during step
number one so
again this will help you use the
information later alright so learn three
new things for this step you will
basically memorize three things you
heard while watching the video they can
be vocabulary words expressions idioms
patterns or other english tips or
techniques now again the reason i’m
telling you to learn only three things
is because
many times as a student you want to
learn lots of things at one time oh i
want to learn 20 words in 15 minutes
but
in an hour you’ve forgotten 15 of those
words remember the goal is for you to
take it in
process it and use it so if you learn in
little chunks trust me it’ll be so
much better i have students that watched
my english marathon and to this day that
was in november
they still use the words properly they
still use them naturally and you’re
probably one of my students who’s able
to speak to me via email or if you’re my
vip membership you are able to use the
words during our conversation so again
learn in small chunks alright so again
let’s see how this is done actually so
here we go
all right so again you want to
specifically focus on things you had
difficulty understanding now i’m sorry i
didn’t mention this to you don’t write
down things you already know if there
was some part of the video that you
didn’t understand write it down write
that word down write that expression and
learn that expression in step number two
for the 10 minutes you’re gonna look up
those three words or expressions all
right so here we go let’s see exactly
how we can do this now again maybe
there’s a vocabulary word or an
expression or an advanced english
sentence pattern what you’re going to do
is write them in your journal remember
for those of you that have already
purchased my 2020 english planner you
can write it in the planner if you
haven’t i’ll put the link in the
description so you can download it
purchase it and
all right so then you’re download to
review and memorize them and you can
keep track of what you learn so let’s
zoom in really quickly so here’s an
expression that i heard in a video that
i watched spare change right now spare
change means a small amount of unneeded
money now what did i do read the
definition or what do i need to do read
the definition
practice saying the word and review some
example sentences again you’re training
your brain not only to understand but to
be able to use the expression or word
properly for the ten minute period
only with three new things okay all
right so now we’re going to move right
into the third phase step number three
all right
so step number three is right in your
journal now stay with me remember in
step number two you wrote out the three
things you learned step number three is
a little bit different all right so
this step is very important as well this
is going to last 15 minutes
that’s right this is the longest step 15
minutes now the third step will take 15
minutes this 15-minute period will help
you think creatively in english
please pay attention because this is so
important thinking creatively in english
is going to help you speak with more
fluency when you come to someone you’ve
never met before and they ask you a
question usually you get
stumped or shocked but if you’re
practicing and thinking creatively on a
regular basis your words will come out
even faster alright so going back to the
details about this step this will help
you to start thinking in english now
thinking creatively the main focus of
this step is creative thinking you want
to think in english about your day
this will help you think in english
throughout your day now we’re getting
into applying what you’ve learned and
also what you’ve learned in the past
because you’re going to start writing
about your day all right so once again
more details we have right about your
day
for this step you will basically spend
time writing about your day you can pick
a specific activity or task and describe
it using the five w’s again remember
we’ve always practiced the five w’s who
what when where and why giving enough
details about whatever you’re speaking
about okay so let’s see this in action
here we go back to my screen you can
choose anything you want to write about
now right in your journal so on the left
we have breakfast or lunch i’m going to
a movie with my friend i have a meeting
and i have to pick up my kids now you’ll
see on the right side i wrote some notes
about my morning
my work and afternoon now on the right
side of my journal i’ll start
writing about my day again you’re gonna
spend 15 minutes doing this okay this is
step number three 15 minutes writing
about your day now this routine is very
short and 15 minutes may seem like a
long time when you first start
i’ll be honest when i was studying
korean
it wasn’t that easy to write in korean
when i had to think about my day it took
a long time but the more you do this and
the more you practice
the longer you will be able to write the
more you’ll be able to write and you
will improve alright so again i want you
to know that if you want to learn more
about other english youtube channels
that can help you you can watch part two
alright part two is for students in my
academy and i give a list of other
youtube channels that talk about your
interests because you may not know how
to find youtube channels about your
specific interests all right now i
really hope you enjoy this video i hope
this 30 minute routine helps to take
your english to the next level remember
you can do it i believe in you alright
well i hope you enjoyed i will see you
in next week’s video but as always
remember to speak english
[Music]
oh yeah it’s st
story time story time
all right guys so um
today’s story time
is kind of funny so
you know growing up so i have very
loving parents um they love my sister
and i and we grew up in a household
literally full of love
um
now this story is actually about my
parents and how they woke us up in the
morning remember we talked about morning
routines right so my parents um they
also had
a morning routine each of them had a
different morning routine so
i’m gonna explain
my mother’s morning routine first so
growing up um my sister and i and
literally guys this this lasted um all
the way through high school so my mom
again very loving
every morning um when it was her turn to
get us up in the morning
she would especially on saturdays so i’m
seventh day adventist and i go to church
on saturday so my mom would um come to
our doors and
lightly tap
and then she’d start singing a song
telling us to wait wake up wake up it’s
sabbath morning
now she would sing the song and we would
wake up and we would be so happy to see
her in the morning now again this is not
when we were two and three like we were
we were older 10 12 14 15 we were always
happy for my mom to come in the room um
so she would you know sing different
songs but she would always sing
something to us in the morning to wake
us up and we wake up with a smile now i
will say this when we got to about the
17 or 18
18 years old she stopped coming to our
room
and my sister and i said what is mommy
doing we had started to love my mom
coming and singing a song to us in the
morning especially before church on
saturdays
now my dad was a different story um so
my dad is a big guy not fat he’s very
muscular he’s a manly man right very
loving very loving and everybody loves
him too
he had a different routine though um
during the week uh he would take us to
school so
we’d have to wake up very early in the
morning
and my dad
you know we’re used to on saturdays and
the weekend my mom singing my dad would
come
six in the morning
get up girls get up
it’s time to go to school
it was like night and day very opposite
uh that’s an expression we use in
english night and day so my mom
singing beautiful songs very peaceful
and waking us up and kissing us to wake
us up and then my dad get up girls we
gotta go to school oh and he’s a
military man he’s in the military he was
in the military for over about 30 years
so you know very you know manly man so
i’d always say man
mommy and daddy’s routine is a little
bit different so again i’m not sure how
your parents woke you up when you were
growing up when you were a child but
um yeah my parents had very different uh
methods or routines in the morning now i
love them both um but yeah my mom was
the softer one in the morning and my dad
was um
more militant in the morning so
hopefully you guys enjoyed that story uh
let me know in the comments about your
own parents your family or how you
personally wake your own children up
alright guys i’ll see you in the next
video
