want to finally start speaking in your
target language in this guide you’ll
discover the top 7 ways to practice
speaking on your own with our lessons
let’s begin number 1 shadowing shadowing
is a proven learning technique where all
you do is repeat what you hear in order
to practice speaking
so access any audio or video lesson on
the site and press the play button to
start then as you listen or watch just
repeat the conversations or even easier
read along out loud with the dialogue
section the script is right there in
front of you with our lessons you can
master entire conversations just like
that number 2 read out loud I just
mentioned it but reading out loud is
another powerful tactic and deserves its
own mention with every lesson you get
written transcripts and translations so
as you play the lesson read the dialogue
out loud as you hear it why by reading
out loud you’re also practicing your
speaking skills you can do this with the
lesson notes the lesson transcript or
the dialogue tool with the dialogue tool
you can listen to each line again and
again and repeat out loud until you
master them all number 3 speed up your
reading to speed up your speaking being
able to speak without thinking is a sign
of language mastery if you’re talking to
a native and can respond quickly they’ll
assume that you’re fairly fluent how can
you do this when you read out loud try
increasing your speed a little bit every
time so start by reading with a dialogue
tool if you’re like most learners you’ll
read the first line slowly that’s
because you’re still getting used to the
words which is ok reread it on your
second try you know most of the words
and you’ll read a little faster reread
it again on your third try you’ll be
even faster at a native speaker speed
and being able to read these phrases out
loud and fast will help you speak fast
number four record and compare yourself
with native speakers in order to sound
like a native speaker you must imitate
native speakers so here’s how access the
voice recorder which is in the dialog
study tool in every lesson click on the
microphone icon listen to the native
speakers audio and then record yourself
you can then compare the two recordings
side-by-side and practice and try again
and again until you perfect your
pronunciation number five get feedback
from our Premium Plus teacher if you’re
learning by yourself and don’t have
access to real teachers then you can
always get feedback from our Premium
Plus teachers with the my teacher tool
you can record yourself speaking and
send the audio file to the teacher
they’ll review it and tell you what to
improve and how that’s it

my
welcome to our first ever evening
edition of this series because the sound
in the original video was destroyed hi
everybody welcome back to ask Alicia the
weekly series where you ask me questions
and I answer them maybe first question
this week first question this week comes
from Patrick hi Patrick
Patrick says I know the basic English
words and I understand if someone speaks
in English for example I understand your
videos perfectly but I have problems
building correct English sentences like
when I speak with another person do you
have any tips for how to build correct
sentences um I think that this just
comes with practice
honestly it’s difficult to do but I know
that there’s not always a person that
you can ask for help I will tell you a
secret when I don’t have confidence with
something but I don’t know how to answer
something this is what I do seriously
just google it I put quotation marks
around like the phrase that I’m trying
to make and then I search google for it
and if it’s there great then that means
I can use it maybe like thousands of
people have used that phrase I know it’s
probably a common phrase if there are no
results and that probably means I’ve
made a mistake somehow so that’s maybe
one good way to help you as you try to
build phrases by yourself so try that
out next question next question comes
from Huang Sena want to say now hi I
love your name Alicia is Alicia a common
name in the US
I happen to have a friend named ELISA
also what’s your personal favorite name
um a common name in the u.s. Alicia I
don’t I don’t think Alicia is so common
in the US and when I was growing up I
didn’t have any other friends named
Alicia also the spelling of my name is a
little strange usually it spelled a li
CIA maybe you know the artist Alicia
Keys that’s how she spells her name so
my name was commonly confused as Alicia
a lot so I’ve heard like Allison and
ELISA and Allie and so on those are
fairly common I think but Alicia
especially my spelling is not so common
actually so what’s my favorite name my
favorite name is obi-wan Kenobi next
question next question comes from long
is the H sound not always pronounced
when followed by another consonant for
example wallhanger
or coming back home yes the H sound is
often pronounced very softly it’s quite
difficult to pronounce all of these
syllables clearly like in the example
come back home it’s quite difficult to
say the H sound clearly so in those
cases it’s quite common to make the H
sound quite soft like come back home
next question
Romeo from Vietnam hi again Romeo Romeo
says hello Alicia do native speakers say
you aren’t gonna blah blah blah or
you’re not gonna blah blah blah which
contracted form is used more I think
they’re used equally like you can choose
which you prefer me I think I usually
say you’re not gonna I probably use you
are I can track the you are you’re not
gonna you’re not gonna or you’re not
gonna do something I probably use you’re
not more often than you aren’t gonna the
next question is from Wagner Wagner
Wagner Wagner
have you written any operas why do
American people pronounce English class
101 instead of one zero one or hundred
one oh this relates to like University
and college level courses actually so
there are four levels to universities or
colleges in the u.s. first year second
year third year and fourth year so the
classes for each of those are numbered
so first year classes begin with one
second year classes with two or third
year classes with three fourth year
classes with four so first year classes
like it tends to be like the basic
classes begin with a 1 and like the most
basic of those classes is usually 101 so
like English class 101 that’s kind of
making like a friendly introduction to
English in other words so we say 101 we
always use that sort of pattern when
speaking we don’t say 101 we always use
101 or like 1 2 4 or like 3 6 7 I don’t
know what those classes are but we
always say each individual number nice
question they don’t interesting next
question is Rob Dani would you tell us
about here you are here you go
there you are there you go and here
there we you
if they’d be go oh gosh okay I’ll talk
about the the ones that you introduced
what do they mean and how do you use
them naturally so let’s talk first about
here you are and here you go so we use
these when we present someone with
something so you give someone something
here you aren’t here you go like you are
at a restaurant maybe your order arrives
here you are here you go something like
in a service situation you might hear
this kind of from like a friendly staff
eesh like a staff related person I
suppose here you are there you go or
maybe from a teacher to a school child
maybe here you go we use it to like
present something to present an object
that maybe they are expecting to receive
let’s talk then about there you go and
there you are so we use there you go
when someone is able to do a thing
they’ve been practicing for a while so
for example if the child is learning how
to ride a bicycle and they’ve been
struggling with it for some time but
then gradually they get better at it and
they can do it the parent might say oh
there you go you got it you got it it’s
like that it’s like a support word and
encouragement word there you go the last
one on your list though there you are in
American English we use there you are in
a situation where we’re looking for
someone we’ve been looking for someone
we’re expecting to meet and it’s been
difficult to find them maybe you visit a
few different spots but then at last you
find this person may be like in a break
room or someplace you might not expect
them but when you do find them and you
say oh there you are we say it with that
sort of intonation oh there you are
it sounds immediately to the listener
like oh this person has been looking for
me next question next question is from
loj loj log-log loj loj says my question
is about phrasal verbs what is the
meaning of knock out like here example
sentence one knocked me out of my
possession or two knocked the wind out
of me I had a problem with the word
possession
knocked me out of my possession I’m not
quite sure this could refer though to in
a very rare situation we have this word
possession which refers to like this
thing called demonic possession where
there’s this idea that a bad spirit gets
into the body and controls a person’s
behavior we call that possession so we
could say like a priest knocked me out
of my possession - go back to your
original question though the word knock
out as a phrasal verb to knock out means
like it means forcefully or forcibly
remove something because if some impact
an object is removed from its original
location so for example a jogger could
be coming at me and they run into me and
they knock my phone out of my hands so
in that case my phone is being removed
because of the impact of the jogger so
to knock something out means like to
remove from its original location from
force in your second example then
knocked the wind out of me this is an
expression we use which means like to
lose our breath because of an impact so
if you get like punched or kicked maybe
in maybe this area you might feel the
air in your lungs come out of your body
so we call that the wind in this
situation so like he knocked the wind
out of me means he caused me to lose the
air in my lungs the impact was so strong
in my body that the air came out of my
out of my lungs so I like he knocked the
wind so the wind in this case the air in
my lungs in its original location was
removed from me because of this impact
you might also hear this expression in
boxing to knock out or to to to KO
someone means
caused them to lose consciousness in
this case so consciousness is the thing
that’s that’s going away in this case so
to knock someone out in like a boxing
match means they they lose consciousness
in other words a KO was sometimes safe
the first example sentence is not
actually so clear to me so it’s also
possible there’s an error in the
original text I don’t know all right so
those are all the questions that I want
to answer this week thank you very much

thank you very much for watching this
episode of ask Alicia and I will see you
again next week and I
sound sound wanna speak real English
from your first lesson sign up for your
free lifetime account at English class
101.com or just a microphone what can
you do with a new mic hi everybody my
name is Alisha welcome back to ask
Alicia the weekly series on our youtube
channel where you ask me questions and I
answer them me so please remember you
can submit your questions to me at
English class 101.com / ask Alicia first
question a lot of you who asked about
what to do to get a voice that sounds
like mine when I’m making these videos
I’m specifically trying to speak clearly
so I’m clearly separating my words the
way that I talk with my friends and the
way that I talk regularly is a bit
different than the way that I talk on
this channel but if you want to try to
get this kind of pronunciation the best
advice I have is just to repeat this
kind of pronunciation it depends on your
goal if you want to learn to speak like
me or to speak like somebody else that
you really admire you should try to
mimic them that’s what I do and that’s
actually a strategy that I use when I
study other languages as well so if I
hear something interesting that a
vocabulary word that a friend has used
like in Japanese for example or they
have a really good intonation or just
the way they deliver the way they say
something is really interesting to me or
I want to I want to be able to use that
too I put that in my head I think about
that and then I try to replicate that I
try to copy that essentially to make
this explanation shorter mimic mimic if
you want to learn to speak like me mimic
me if you want to learn to speak like
somebody else try to mimic someone else
but just keep in mind that the way that
I talk in these videos is different from
the way that I talk in real life next
question what does the word Lit mean
what does the word with me it is
actually a slang word it’s common slang
among young people especially in the
u.s. right now maybe many of you know
that
the verb to light has the past-tense lit
lit is used to talk about for example a
party or some kind of social gathering
usually that’s really exciting or that’s
really really fun or that’s kind of
crazy so lit using the past tense there
you can kind of imagine that like a fire
when you light a fire it may be it gets
bigger and it gets kind of wild a little
bit crazy like there’s a spark and then
it starts so if you see the word lit
like this party was lit it means it was
really crazy it was really good it was
really fun you can use it if you want
but just keep in mind that really young
people use that word I don’t use that
word for reference but again I’m not
next question what is correct I thought
you were gone or I thought you are gone
I thought you are gone we need to use I
thought you were gone here I thought you
were gone so I thought past tense and
you were is also past tense it’s a past
tense thought past tense situation so
please use Passons yeah ah next question
also maybe about were and was why do we
use if I were and not if I was this is a
great question and actually a lot of
native speakers make mistakes with this
it’s a small point to be fair but if you
want to be correct you should always use
if I were this is a grammar point it
refers to the subjunctive mood the
subjunctive mood an explanation of
subjunctive is a bit beyond the scope
it’s a bit much for this video but we
will always use if I were when the
subject there is I in the conditional if
I were we always use work you will hear
native speakers say if I was if I was if
you want to be extremely strict and
extremely nitpicky word is actually the
correct one but if you use was if you
make a mistake and you use was you will
still be understood so but yes this is
related to the subjunctive mood in
English next question okay next one
isn’t really a question but something I
have noticed that many of you do you
like to put the article up or and before
your adjective before an adjective but
you forget to use and now do you know
how like Mario introduced
himself and he says it’s a me when you
forget to use some kind of you know
after after your adjective or whatever
but you sound a bit like Mario’s it’s a
nice it’s a nice it’s a nice what it’s
funny to me it’s a nice it’s me you need
to include the noun that you’re
referring to it’s a nice video or it’s a
nice explanation it’s nice or it’s bad
or it’s good or this was a nice
explanation but don’t forget to use your
noun after you use the adjective it’s a
nice something it’s a good thing it’s a
bad something so please no article
without a noun make sure to use your
noun and it should be in the singular
form if you’re using up or in you need
to use the singular form of the noun
don’t sound like Mario next question
what does it mean they can’t take that
away from me who are they and what does
take away mean we use the word they to
mean generally just other people outside
of us this is used a lot to talk about
like news or to talk about general
opinions they say that this pizza is the
best pizza in the city right now they
say that your English will only improve
if you study every day they say that the
most difficult thing you can do in your
life is move to another country they is
just anyone second point what does take
away mean take away means to some object
that belongs in one location is removed
from that location like take away food
in American English we use takeout
actually but take away food is a similar
idea especially like in British English
take away so you take away your food
from the restaurant so you’re taking
something else you’re removing your food
from the restaurant so in the expression
they can’t take that away from me they
meaning other people outside you can’t
take something away from you
next one what does the phrase don’t be a
creep don’t be a creep neat I think
Michael talked about this on
English topics video so I talked to a
live stream about the word creepy
adjective creepy so something that
causes like nervous suspense it’s
something that’s creepy the word creeped
is used as a noun don’t be a creep
a person who is creepy a guy can be a
creep a girl can be a creep so a creep
is someone who causes creepy feelings
like something bad might happen I feel
nervous like that person’s a little
strange a little weird that person is a
creep he’s a creep she’s a creep
so don’t be a creep means you should not
behave like a creep don’t create nervous
feelings in the other person don’t be a
creepy person don’t be a creep everybody
that’s a good advice don’t be a creep
don’t feel great try to be a nice and
understanding and respectful person
always next question

thanks very much for watching this
episode of ask Alicia and I’ll see you
again next week
bye one of the things I can do with my
microphone I wonder I feel like I had
some ideas for this when I was laying in
bed last night and I’ve forgotten them
all oh now I can take my videos on the
road make it like a golf reporter yes
the ball the ball is rolling why am i
Russian I’m a Russian golf reporter now
oh maybe I’ll be a beatboxer how do you
do that hi everybody my name is Alisha
and today we’re gonna be talking about
ten of the hardest words to pronounce
according to you guys so we collected
some information from you on Facebook
thanks very much for sending
your ideas and these were the top 10
most difficult words for you to
pronounce so let’s get started
absolutely absolutely absolutely might
be tough to pronounce absolutely means
100% absolutely is an agreement phrase
are you going to that music event next
week absolutely yes 100% definitely
absolutely loot like a loot hell ute big
grime the grime apparently means dirty I
have never heard nor used this word
before but perhaps it’s difficult to
pronounce the grime the door to my
apartment was big rhymed in the storm
last week breakfast the next word is
breakfast breakfast is hard to pronounce
but that is the meaning of breakfast
you’re breaking the fast so fast is a
period of time without eating and to
break means to just well in this case
breaking something it doesn’t refer to
like crushing a thing but stopping
something to break the fast of the night
in other words so you’re fasting during
the night you’re not eating so you wake
up in the morning you break the fast but
we don’t say break fast we say breakfast
in a sentence this morning from
breakfast I ate a bowl of cereal with
grapes and I had a coffee too
colleague colleague yes colleague many
of my students struggle with this they
say colleague or they say colleague you
or something cuz the spelling of this
word is really really strange there’s
that gue at the end and we’re more
commonly I feel it’s just co-worker
colleague sounds slightly more formal to
me than a co-worker somebody who you
work with or somebody who you have a
business relationship with in some sense
it could be a person from another
company could be somebody from your own
company anyone who you do business
dealings with is your colleague can be
your colleague in a sentence I’m going
to a networking event with my colleagues
next week miscellaneous that mis see
miscellaneous justice the spelling I
think maybe it’s confusing for this word
miscellaneous miscellaneous just means
other stuff or just other uncatted
Erised stuff I keep a lot of
miscellaneous items in a drawer in my
house maybe they don’t they don’t really
fit into one category like it’s not
kitchen
things it’s not clothing it’s just sort
of a mixture of things miscellaneous
things negotiation the next word is
negotiation negotiation yeah there are
two T’s in this but neither T is a hard
T they’re both very soft at sheesh sound
because they’re followed by the eye and
another vowel that she a negotiation
negotiation refers to a compromise
between two people you’re trying to make
a decision and you negotiate in this
case that’s a noun form negotiation
business negotiations continued for more
than a month with this important deal
realm realm I see why this one’s hard
it’s that role part that it’s a weird
word isn’t it it’s used to talk about
just like the kind of a fantasy world is
sort of the nuance of this phrase the
realm in a sentence let us go to the
realm where the elves live and eat their
bread unfortunately the next word is
unfortunately unfortunately
unfortunately just means too bad you can
use this to to start bad news for
example like unfortunately I can’t come
to work today because I’m sick or
unfortunately I broke my arm at the
basketball game last week or
unfortunately my haircut is bad
vocabu-larry vocabu-larry vocabu-larry
vocabu-larry vocabu-larry vocabu-larry
just refers to the words in a language
my vocabulary in my second language is
really really low I need a bigger
vocabulary so that I can express myself
more clearly world world oh I see why
this one’s hard world world hard to
pronounce that rld I think together is
tough Plus that W at the beginning as
well it’s such a short word but you have
to say so many weird things at the same
time world your tongue is going like
this in a sentence I have traveled all
over the world and the best food is in
my stomach that’s in so those were 10
hard to pronounce words give them a try
slowly at first and just kind of try to
work up to him saying at a more natural
speed if you like thank you so much for

bye
you don’t need new shoes you need new
feet want to speak real English from
your first lesson sign up for your free

101.com hi everybody my name is Alisha
and today we’re gonna be talking about
15 questions that you should know so
these are 15 questions that not
necessarily you need to know how to ask
them perhaps you know some of the
questions already but you will probably
also hear these questions as well so
we’ll practice a few different answers
for these questions too so let’s get
started do you like American food the
first question is do you like American
food you will probably be asked this
question do you like American food you
can either say yes or no or you can give
a specific example someone says do you
like American food yes I love Philly
cheesesteaks I would recommend saying
yes or a little or or or you can just
say I don’t know what do you recommend
have you been to the United States
the next question is have you been to
the United States have you been to the
United States so someone asks you have
you been to the United States you should
reply with either yes I have or no I
haven’t or maybe no I haven’t yet but I
want to when you want to ask someone
this question you can say have you been
to Japan have you been to Egypt have you
been to China whatever you can use your
own country when you ask this question
how are you how are you when someone
asks how are you don’t say I’m fine
thank you and you please don’t say that
please say something more natural like
good great I’m good how are you
something like that is much better than
I’m fine thank you and you be a little
more genuine in your reply also when you
ask this question maybe one point to
help you
a little more natural when you ask
someone else don’t like trying to say
how are you how are you instead of how
are you or and make sure your intonation
is correct I’ve had a few people ask me
how are you like a little - moon yeah
with this question or like how are you
but how are you should be the intonation
with this how are you how are you it’s a
little bit more natural how long have
you been studying English how long have
you been studying English how long have
you been studying English great question
to know the answer to your answer should
be I have been studying English for
bla-bla-bla years or glop up on months I
bought what weeks but if that’s too much
for you you can just use the time how
long have you been studying English six
years how long have you been studying
English two months so just pick the time
if the whole sentence is quite long for
you how old are you we don’t really go
around asking people how old they are
like just the first time you meet them
necessarily especially if they’re older
much older than you like in particular
it’s sometimes considered rude to ask
especially women how old they are so
just be careful with this question but
if you’re about the same age group you
know maybe you’re at an event or a party
or something and you just want to check
how old the other person is you can use
this phrase when you reply to this just
say I’m plus the number to make a really
simple response so how old are you I’m
15 how old are you I’m 42 whatever the
answer is just stick 5 in front of it
not i but i’m i am but use the
contracted form to sound more natural
i’m number if you want to make a full
sentence you can say i’m number years
old don’t forget that s in years i’m a
million years old what did you say what
did you say if you couldn’t quite hear
something that someone else said you can
use this question to confirm sorry what
did you say it’s a little nicer than
just saying what what did you say or
what did you just say sorry what did you
say I couldn’t hear you what’s this
what’s this when you don’t know what
something is what’s this when you’re out
for dinner you’re out for lunch or
something and you find a new food or you
just you’re curious just say what’s this
to reply to this question just say it’s
blah blah blah what’s your name what’s
your name of course you should know how
to ask this question and how to answer
this question
what’s your name is a little more
natural than what is your name again
contracted form we’ll help you sound
much more natural so what’s your name
someone asks you you can just give your
name Alicia that’s fine you can say
Alicia you can say I’m Alicia that’s
fine too you could say my name is or my
name’s Alicia either any of those are
fine in a more formal situation a
business situation I would I would use
my name is Pablo and while I shake hands
or something what’s your phone number
the next one is what’s your phone number
I would not ask this question right away
like maybe you’ve met the person a few
times but you’d like to contact them
whether it’s because you’re romantically
interested in them or because you want
to be better friends with them but just
if you meet someone for the first time
and you’re like what’s your phone number
it’s like a little it’s a little too
much so use this question after you’ve
met the person a few times and you know
you want to become better friends when
you want to give your phone number just
say it’s and the number that’s fine just
it’s blah blah blah or my phone number
is blah blah blah with the number 5 5 5
1 million in 5 to 6 when is your
birthday so maybe you want to plan a
birthday party for example or it’s just
another fun question the first time you
meet someone when did your birthday so
when you want to tell someone your
birthday just give the month and the
date mmm
January 15th August 42nd that’s a real
day if you want to make a full sentence
you can say my birthday is month date
where are you from the next word the
next question is where are you from
this can refer to your country or your
city mmm but I feel like prop more stuff
and it refers to your country so where
are you from your answer should be I’m
from places I’m from China I am from
Japan I’m from Vietnam I’m from America
whatever I’m from there where did you
learn English the next question is where

learn English if you’re speaking great

example if you studied English at

at university or I learned English from
my friends perhaps where do you live
where do you live depending on the
situation where you’re asked this this
can mean your country like I live in
America I live in China sometimes it’s
about the place in the city where you
live sometimes it’s about the country
where you live so you can kind of feel I
think which question which type of
question is being asked where do you
work where do you work is talking about
your job you can use the pattern I work
at company name or I work for company
name either is fine I work at ABC
company I work for ABC company either is
okay but you know if if you have
answered with the wrong information the
other person will just ask you like oh I
mean where is your office or oh I mean
which company do you work for use the
force for this one where is the bathroom
where is the bathroom very important
question where is the bathroom in
American English where is the bathroom
or where is the restroom is more common
than where is the toilet using the word
toilet is a little bit too direct in
American English so I recommend bathroom
or restroom so those are 15 questions

I want to improve reading in your target
language in this guide you’ll discover
the top 10 ways to practice reading with
our lessons and learning program let’s
begin number one start a lesson and read
along with the lesson notes with every
lesson you get bonus lesson notes these
give you the lesson in writing the
dialogue the vocabulary and the grammar
explanations so as you listen to a
lesson
along with the lesson notes by listening
and reading along you hear how each word
is pronounced and can easily keep up
number to read with the dialogue study
tool with the dialogue study tool you
get the line by line breakdown of a
lessons conversation you get the text
the translation the audio and if
applicable the romanization so you can
read and listen to each line
individually to practice your reading
reread and review each line until you
master it then move on to the next line
you get this feature in every one of our
lessons number three read along with the
lesson transcript you also get
transcripts with every lesson
these are word-for-word scripts of
everything that was said in the lesson
and are completely free to access so use
these to read along number four download
the PDF notes and transcripts want to
practice reading on your own time save
the lesson notes and transcripts as PDFs
to your device and keep them forever
that way you can open them up and
practice reading at any time you can
also print the PDFs out to keep as
physical reading material number five
practice with extensive reading books
extensive reading is a learning tactic
where you read as many books as possible
at a level that’s easy for you and you
follow these two rules one you skip over
words you don’t know and two you jump to
a new book if the current one is boring
the goal is to help you master reading
vocab and grammar simply by reading a
lot without getting stuck on minor words
you can find extensive reading books
from absolute beginner level to advanced
these are simple one line per page books
and all of the translations are on the
lesson page simply look for the
extensive reading pathways in the lesson
library you can also download these
books as PDFs and print them out number
six
take your time and read slowly whether
you’re reading with the notes books or
the dialogue tool be sure to take your
time read the lines slowly on the first
try just like a child would when they
start
to read this is so you can get
acquainted with every word number seven
then speed up your reading once you’ve
read a line slowly and are familiar with
the words start speeding up reread that
same line a little bit faster on the
second try and then a little faster on
the third try doing this will help you
read faster number eight take the
reading comprehension video lessons
these lessons are specifically designed
to test your reading skills you’re
presented with a real-life scenario such
as reading a sign at the train station
and are tested on the words presented on
the screen
don’t worry you get the answer at the
end and translations are available in
the dialogue section number nine get
