but you want to study English and you
just can’t find out how that’s when you
realize that you have 15 minutes pots
throughout your day in today’s lesson
I’m gonna teach you how to effectively
study English in 15 minutes a day this
episode is being brought to you by the
speak English with Tiffany Academy the

description below let’s jump right in
this is gonna be done in a six-day cycle
now Before we jump into this part I want
to explain something to you all you see
English can be broken down into six
different parts you have expressions
idioms vocabulary reading listening and
writing and speaking now the bottom
portion of this diagram is separate from
what we are gonna be talking about today
and let me explain why
what we are gonna discuss is the top
portion of this diagram or this graph
expressions idioms and vocabulary you
see these three can be grouped together
so since you only have 15 minutes a day
let’s utilize that time wisely so let’s
go right back to our previous stream the
sixth day cycle now you notice that it
says topic a for each part of this cycle
what you’re gonna do first is pick one
topic for this cycle so let’s look at
day one okay 15 minutes you’re going to
learn three new English expressions the
focus of day one is learning new English
expressions these new expressions need
to be connected to the topic you
selected for the week all right
why is this important you see English
expressions are a very important part of
everyday English they are found in
written and spoken English so as an
English Learner you need to study
English expressions now the result
is you will become more fluent in
English and will be able to communicate
even better
why because native English speakers use
lots of English expressions now day one
how do you actually do it how do you
actually put these things into practice
so we’ve broken up our 15 minutes into
three different sections three
five-minute sections alright so for the
first five minutes you’re going to
search and find and you’ll see our
computer on the screen the drawing go to
Google Google is your friend and all you
do is type out this exact expression or
this exact wording okay English
expressions about dot or related to dot
dot dot so if you’re talking about
swimming if you’re talking about the
news whatever topic you chose for that
week replace the dot dot dot with that
topic now remember that the expressions
must be related to the topic you chose
for the week that’s why this is so
important okay so in your first five
minutes doing that then the next five
minutes is your study and learn five
minutes okay your goal is to get a good
understanding of each new English
expression you’re going to memorize and
try to understand them so five minutes
is a good amount of time to learn three
new English expressions all right now
for the next five minutes you’re going
to absorb and practice okay so you can
either write the expressions on
flashcards or just save them over and
over
outloud it depends on what kind of
learner you are are you audible are you
visual so you know yourself okay so
that’s the first 15 minutes for day one
now moving on to day 2 review and
practice the three new English
expressions remember this plan is
specifically for those people who only
have 15 minutes a day okay alright so
day two the focus of day two is
reviewing and practicing the new English
expressions this review and practice
will enhance your ability to use these
expressions in everyday conversation
alright so why is this important
we’re gonna look at a very very
important quote from a man named Anton
Chekhov
he says knowledge is of no value unless
you put it into practice this is very
true of English if you constantly learn
over and over or memorize things but
never use them then they are useless the
expressions you’ve learned are useless
okay all right so the result you’ll
become more proficient in your ability
to use them in real life so how is this
gonna be done all right so again we have
the fifteen minutes
broken up into three different parts now
for our first five minutes you’re going
to review okay you can review alone or
with the group it’s up to you
some people like studying alone better
and some people like studying with other
people so you can test each other or you
can just test yourself now the second
five minutes is going to be defined now
this is where it gets very interesting
because you’re putting into practice
what you’re learning what you’re gonna
do is you can search for those
expressions on your computer your iPad
or your cell phone etc using Google or
any other search engine your goal is to
find examples of where the expressions
are actually used in context so you’re
looking for blog posts or news articles
that use these expressions okay now you
just want to find the sentence where the
expressions are okay you want to read
over them okay you’re not memorizing
you’re just reading them and it’s
helping your brain understand the
expressions more okay and the last five
minutes is the think section okay so
you’re gonna think about your own life
and come up with three different
situations that match the English
expressions so again you’re not stressed
during this time you’re literally just
thinking relaxing and just thinking
about how these expressions actually
apply to your life okay all right that
leads us into day three okay now you’re
going to learn three new English idioms
okay
the focus update three is learning new
English idioms these new idioms
to be connected to the topic you
selected for the week now this is
important because English idioms are
used every single day by native English
speakers
we use them in conversations they’re
used throughout the media and everywhere
you go you will hear idioms every single
day okay so the result if you are
learning English idioms you will use
them correctly which will amplify or
enhance what you are saying and make it
easier for people to understand you when
you speak in English okay so how do we
do this alright so again the fifteen
minutes is broken up into three
different parts here we go
search and find so we’re going right
back to the computer or your cell phone
or whatever whatever device you’re using
okay we’re going to Google and we’re
typing in English idioms about dot dot
dot or related to dot dot again the
topic you chose for the week each week
you can choose a different topic this is
how you’re going to enhance your English
skills okay even though it’s only 15
minutes you will enhance your ability to
talk about certain topics each and every
week okay all right so always remember
that now the next five minutes again is
your study and learn five minutes okay
your goal is to get a good understanding
of each new English idiom okay you can
memorize read over them over and over
again and get a good understanding of
them and finally for the last five
minutes you’re gonna absorb and practice
okay
so again you can either write the idioms
on flashcards or just say them over and
over out loud
alright so moving on to day four okay
review and practice the three new
English idioms all right the focus of
day four is reviewing and practicing the
new English idioms this review and
practice will enhance your ability to
use these idioms in everyday
conversation now one famous man named
Malcolm Gladwell said practice isn’t the
thing you do once you’re good it’s the
thing you do that makes you good and I
really tell my students this over and
over again practice practice practice
okay now the result you will get more
confident in using them
of the idioms and you will begin to
recognize them more in daily life so for
example when you’re watching TV or
listening to an English program okay
alright now how do you do this so again
you break that 15-minute period into
three different parts first you’re going
to review you can review alone or with
the group next you’re gonna find again
on your computer your iPad or whatever
mobile device you have or you can access
the internet find these idioms in
different spots okay specifically things
that are written by native English
speakers and you’re gonna find those
idioms and those sentences and how they
are used okay
and finally think think about your own
life and come up with three different
situations that match the English idioms
this is gonna be so helpful for you okay
all right and day five is going to be
learn three new English vocabulary words
okay the focus of day five is learning
new English vocabulary words these new
vocabulary words need to be connected to
the topic you selected for the week okay
why is this important you see vocabulary
is the most required skill when learning
a foreign language and this is because
all other skills depend on vocabulary so
reading writing and speaking are very
important but without vocabulary they
can’t stand okay so what’s the result
gonna be you’re listening speaking
writing and comprehension will all
improve so how do we do this again break
up your 15 minutes into three different
parts and this is what’s gonna happen
you’re gonna search and look for English
vocabulary about dot which is where your
topic will be inserted you’re gonna look
on Google ok then you’re gonna study and
learn your goal is to get a good
understanding of each new vocabulary
word don’t just memorize it but think
about it memorize it and think about
what you’re learning okay and then for
the last five minute period you gonna
absorb and practice you do this again by
either using flashcards or saying them
over and over to yourself out loud or if
you’ve another method of learning you
can also do that okay now day six this
is where you’re going to review and
practice the three new
English vocabulary words okay so this
review and practice will again enhance
your ability to use these vocabulary
words in everyday conversation there is
a famous quote by an unknown author that
says don’t practice until you get it
right practice until you can’t get it
wrong in other words practice until you
know it like the back of your hand now
like the back of your hand is a very
popular idiom it means something you
can’t forget something you know well
okay what will the result be you will be
able to express exactly what you are
feeling and that’s your goal as an
English Learner
okay so again 15 minutes broken up into
three different parts here we go first
you’re gonna review again alone or with
the group and you can change this up you
can pick a group for day six and then
for the next time you can pick to do it
alone it’s up to you okay alright for
the next five minutes again search for
examples of when these vocabulary words
are used and just read again read the
example sentences so that you understand
okay
and finally think think about your own
life and come up with three different
situations that match the English
vocabulary words okay alright now I hope
