THINK AND SPEAK IN ENGLISH How To Talk About Your Daily Life Fluently In English
hey in today’s lesson i am going to
teach you how to finally think and speak
in english i’m going to explain the
connection give you a simple formula
that will help you finally start
speaking like a native english speaker
are you ready
well then i am teacher tiffany let’s
jump right in all right so the first
thing you have to understand is the 5ws
method that’s right we must first start
off by thinking in english using the
five w’s who what when where and why so
let’s say we’re talking about our daily
life and we’re going to start with our
morning routine
look at this man he’s working out hard
but we want to describe what he’s doing
like a native english speaker so we must
think in english
who is he his name is mike he’s 50 years
old
what is mike doing mike is working out
hard
when
at 6 00 am
every morning
where
at a large gym not too far from his
house
and why
he learned the importance of discipline
from working on a farm and the
importance of staying in shape from his
military background
so again what have we done we have
thought in english we saw what was
happening this man was building muscles
and he does it every morning this is his
morning routine and we use the five w’s
so now how do we speak in english about
his morning routine so once again we
have the five w’s here organized who
what when where and why
which will lead us to speaking about his
morning routine watch this read along
with me
i am 50 years old but i still work out
hard at 6 00 a.m every morning
i usually exercise at a large gym
not too far from my house
people always say my consistency is
impressive honestly i learned the
importance of discipline from working on
a farm and the importance of staying in
shape from my time in the military you
see what just happened right
using the five w’s we thought about his
morning routine and then we were able to
speak
think and then speak now i want to break
down some of the words some of the
vocabulary words within this speaking
portion but i want to remind you to use
the five w’s to talk about your own
morning routine now i see a word in here
that maybe you don’t know the first word
is
consistency
good after me again
consistency
excellent now the word consistency just
means the quality of always behaving or
performing in a similar way or of always
happening in a similar way so let me
explain something to you really quickly
about this word
remember
who i am
your english teacher right so every
sunday i make it a point to upload an
english lesson sundays at 8 a.m eastern
right so i want to do it on a regular
basis my behavior my pattern is
uploading english lessons for you on
sundays
so i am trying to practice consistency
makes sense right you got it now maybe
you have a little bit of trouble with
the pronunciation i want to remind you
to download the english with tiffany app
within the app there are many lessons
and courses but i have a specific course
on pronunciation that will help you so
you can download that course uh you can
download the app
all right so consistency now let’s go
back again and look at what was said the
next word was
impressive
impressive so after me
impressive excellent again
impressive
good job now this word impressive is
also very important if an object or
achievement is impressive
you admire or respect it
usually because it is special important
or very large so for example me
when i think about you
as a student as an english learner
learning a second language or a third
language and for many of you a fourth
language
english is not your mother tongue
i am impressed your abilities are
impressive why you are learning another
language you are so intelligent so
that’s an achievement you are very
impressive makes sense right so again we
said that mike’s morning routine is
impressive all right now there’s another
one that i want us to look at very
quickly the other one was
discipline
again
discipline
excellent all right now what does the
word discipline actually mean it’s the
ability to control yourself or other
people
even in difficult situations so
maybe your favorite dessert is ice cream
when you see the ice cream you want to
eat it all but you’re on a diet you’re
trying to lose weight so you have to
be disciplined you have to control
yourself from eating all of the ice
cream makes sense right in english we
say discipline are you a very
disciplined person let us know in the
comment section alright so we have
discipline now once again looking at
what was said to describe his morning
routine we have all of the information
and we’re able to speak about his
morning routine because we first thought
about his morning routine using the five
w’s who what when where and why now
before we move to the afternoon routine
i want you in the comments section to
write about your personal morning
routine now remember again using the
thought section thinking in english you
must first again say who what when where
and why so let us know about your
moaning routine in the comment section
alright
here we go let’s move on to the
afternoon routine again you’re going to
notice this pattern think speak think
speak think using the five w’s and then
you’ll be able to speak fluently in
english here we go afternoon routine
let’s look at this afternoon routine
maybe you’re at work and you have to
have lots of meetings with your
co-workers so who
my team members and i we are web
designers
what
go to a team meeting in the afternoon
when around 2 p.m in the afternoon
where
in the big conference room down the hall
from my office
why
to discuss how we will create all of the
images layouts and videos for a new
corporate website so once again what did
we do we thought about the afternoon
routine who what when where and why we
are organizing our thoughts about this
period of time you can do it for any
situation now we’ve thought about it
again we have the five w’s very clearly
broken down for the afternoon routine
so how would we now speak about the
afternoon routine here we go
this is how we would say all of that
information
i am a web designer and i work with a
great team
got it almost every day we have a team
meeting at around 2 p.m in the afternoon
got it when
our team meetings are in the big
conference room down the hall from my
office got it where we need to discuss
how we will create all of the images
layouts and videos for a new corporate
website got it i explained why so
because we thought about our afternoon
routine five w’s we were able to speak
fluently in english about our afternoon
routines again
think and speak
simple formula use the five w’s and
bow you’ll start sounding like a native
english speaker now within our answer
there are about three things that i want
to explain to you so here we go
i want to explain the first one the
first one is
at around let me take this off the
screen very quickly at around now this
means near or close to
approximately and it usually refers to a
numerical value or point in time so for
example
let’s say you’re gonna have a pot you’re
gonna have a party
all right so you’re gonna have a party
right and you say hey guys my party
starts at 3 p.m everyone’s like okay
i’ll be there but then one of your
friends says oh my goodness i have to
work that day and i get off at 3 p.m but
i’ll rush there and i think i can get
there at around
3 45 it means approximately i’m going to
try to get there at that time
in english we use at around so again
look at how we used it in this situation
we said we have a team meeting at around
2 p.m meaning approximately
makes sense right okay now what about
down the hall from i said down the hall
from now this is also something we use
on a regular basis so
down the hall from means it specifies a
location along the hall like if you’re
in a building there’s a hallway so down
the hall from means you’re talking about
a certain place along the hallway it
means further along the hall from a
specific location i’m in this spot but
it’s
further down from me it’s down the hall
from dot dot dot so
my office is down the hall from my
boss’s office
the bathroom is down the hall from the
conference room you see what’s happening
right you’re telling where something is
in relation to something else in english
we say down the hall from so in this
example speaking about his afternoon
routine her afternoon routine we said
our meetings are in the big conference
room
down the hall from my office makes sense
right okay now there was one more that i
wanted to explain it was
corporate
corporate now again after me for
pronunciation corporate
excellent now we saw how we use this we
said the last sentence we need to
discuss how we will create all of the
images layouts and videos for a new
corporate website all right so what does
corporate mean corporate actually means
relating to a large company so think
about apple i love apple computers i
love apple products apple is a huge
company
now the main office could be referred to
as the corporate office or the
headquarters so corporate just refers to
a large company so when we explained the
afternoon routine we said they meet to
discuss what they’re going to do for the
large company website or the corporate
website makes sense right so now we
understand corporate so again
we were able to speak about the
afternoon routine like a native english
speaker very fluently simply because we
first thought about it in english one
more time
who
what
when where and why all of these pieces
of information
were included in our response when we
spoke about the afternoon routine
so what about the evening routine all
right so here we go evening routine
maybe you enjoy hanging out with your
friends so we have to start with again
the who
my closest friends and i
they’re my elementary school friends
what we go out to eat
when
every thursday at 7 p.m
where
popular restaurants in our area
why we are all foodies and we enjoy
spending time with each other after work
now i want to pause really quickly and
emphasize something again
this phase this step this stage is very
simple it doesn’t matter what level you
are in english you can think of who you
are with
what you did very simply where you were
why and when again the thinking portion
is simple breaking it down using the
five w’s right
now we have everything that you do in
the evening with your friends having a
great time now we need to
speak
in english about your evening routine so
here we go
evening routine using all of the
information we gathered from the 5ws
my closest friends and i have known each
other since elementary school usually we
try to hang out every thursday at 7 pm
we go out to eat at popular restaurants
in our area because
we are all foodies but more importantly
we truly enjoy spending time with each
other after work now you know how
natural that sounded right but look i
just used the five w’s and you can do
the same thing to sound like a native
english speaker now there are a few
words and expressions that i’d like to
go over with you the first one is hang
out after me hang out
excellent now let me explain what hang
out actually means here we go it means
to spend time relaxing or socializing
informally or to spend a lot of time in
a place or with someone hey spend time
with your friends at a restaurant i used
to enjoy cooking for my friends when i
lived in south korea i loved it and i
would invite them over and we would hang
out spend time together so in the
comments section i want you to tell us
where do you like to hang out do you
like to hang out at the mall at your
friend’s house maybe you like to go to a
cafe
where do you like to hang out let us
know in the chat section all right so we
say hang out in english so again looking
at it what do we see we my closest
friends and i usually try to hang out
every thursday at 7 00 pm
now i want us to look at the next one
go out to eat you may have heard this
one or you may not have this just means
again to eat at a restaurant or away
from one’s home so i mentioned earlier
that i love cooking but sometimes
it’s nice to go to a restaurant to let
somebody else cook for me to let
somebody else cook for myself and my
friends so we go out we’re not inside we
go out to eat let us know in the chat
section where do you like to go out to
eat maybe in your country there are some
amazing restaurants where do you like to
go out to eat i love going to indian
restaurants as you all know i love
indian food and mexican food as well so
we say go out to eat in english and
again we saw we said go out to eat at
popular restaurants now the last one i
want to explain is a popular one
foodie
you got it f sound front teeth bottom
lip after me
foodie
excellent all right now let me explain
what a foodie is a foodie is a person
with a particular interest in food or a
person who loves a food
and is very interested in different
types of food yes i consider myself to
be a foodie i love so many different
types of food i love indian i love
haitian i love mexican i love
mediterranean because the food is
delicious so i consider myself to be a
foodie because i’m so interested in food
maybe you’re a foodie as well alright so
we say foodie in english and we
explained that my friends and i are
foodies makes sense right okay so again
what we did was we were able to explain
talk about speak english fluently about
my or your or their evening routine
simply
simply because we first
thought about it in english who
what when
where and why and then we were able to
give the response like a native english
speaker now honestly i hope you enjoyed
this lesson i hope you learned a lot and
i hope you put this into practice you
can do it i want to encourage you all
you have to do is think in english like
a native english speaker using the 5ws

alright i’ll see you next week but as
always remember to speak english
you still there
ha ha i know you are and you know what
time it is come on and join me it’s
story time
hey i said it’s story time
all right
today’s story is about
food that’s right i explained earlier in
the lesson that i am a foodie i love
food and i have a friend who is also a
foodie and we actually became close
friends because of that so let me
explain what happened
so i had been in korea for about eight
years and i came home just for a short
break and i was going to go back to
south korea to finish my last year and a
half there
now when i was going back i was told by
the office like the head office that
they were going to place me at a new
school a school i had never been to so i
was a bit apprehensive because i didn’t
know anyone there and all of my roots my
korean family members lived in seoul for
those that know about seoul it’s the
major city in korea and they wanted to
move me to the outskirts of the city
look up the word outskirts on the
outside kind of like the suburbs but a
very quiet area
and i said you know what it’s okay i
prayed about it and i decided to go so
when i got there there were only
i think
three or four other korean teachers and
i think two or three other
foreign teachers like americans or
native english speakers it was a very
small school i left a school that had 10
and another school that had 20. so this
was a very small school
and in the school among the korean
teachers there was one teacher and i’ll
say her name annie she may watch this
video her name was annie
and she seems really nice she seemed
very organized and she also seemed to be
a very good teacher just from observing
her when i first got there and i was
like okay yeah she seems basically about
business and i am a person that is about
business i take my job seriously and she
seemed to be that type of person as well
so anyways annie approached me one day
and said tiffany you know would you mind
teaching me the bible now we had known
each other for maybe a month we weren’t
close but we saw each other every day at
work and she recognized that i enjoyed
teaching the bible to my students so i
said sure no no worries she knew i spoke
korean and she also spoke english well
but she said hey i think it’ll be nice
to study the bible with you in english
and if i have questions i can ask you in
korean
sure no problem so we started studying
the bible we had a great time she loves
god i love god and we had great
conversations so we had been studying
with each other for maybe about two or
three weeks and again i noticed that she
was a very hard worker i admired her
work ethic but that was the extent we
didn’t do anything after work we just
saw each other at work very cordial very
nice to each other
so one day annie approached me when we
were in the staff room and said hey
tiffany do you want to go out to eat for
lunch
and i was like
okay sure you know i was new to the area
again i’m a foodie but she and i had
never talked about food she said you
want to go out to lunch i said sure she
said yeah there’s an indian restaurant
not too far from here now remember i
told you my favorite food is indian
so inside i said oh
yeah but outside i said oh that sounds
nice
now annie knows me very well now so my
responses are a lot different but you
know i didn’t know her that well and i
said oh okay you know that’s nice let’s
go i was excited
so anyways the next day we decided and
we went to the restaurant so we get to
the restaurant and again we’re just
talking great conversation it was really
easy to talk to her we had great
conversation and we talked about life
you know my experiences her experiences
and then the food came
now when the food came remember i am a
foodie i love indian food so i know what
indian food is good and what indian food
is not good so the plates arrived and
like there was the steam coming up from
the curry and then i saw the naan and i
was getting excited because my nose
was happy i could smell that the
seasonings
they were correct right so but again i
was still talking to annie and we were
just talking
so the food came you know we prayed over
the food we you know kind of like wiped
our hands off
and i took a piece of the naan and i
dipped it into the curry and when i put
it to my mouth i said
it was y’all it was good and i was kind
of enjoying it
and in that moment
i heard annie do the same thing like
this food is good now again a lot of the
conversation was happening in korean
because we switched over when we were at
the restaurant so i looked up and i said
this food is good isn’t it she said whoa
yes this food is good and i realized oh
my goodness she’s a foodie too
needless to say fast forward wow has it
been four years four years and she’s one
of my closest friends we enjoyed that
meal and she realized how much i love
food and we just talked about oh my
goodness the seasoning the naan is good
the curry is good this is good and we
realized how much we love food
so the next week we went out to lunch
again and the following week we went out
to lunch again and we kept going to
different restaurants we would make
plans to go and travel we would go 45
minutes in the middle of the day to go
get some delicious food and rush back to
work for the afternoon we loved food and
we bonded over food of course our love
for god as well but she became one of my
closest friends and we are still close
to this day all because we found out
that we both were foodies
now again guys you all know how much i
enjoy food i want to know are you a
foodie if you are what’s your favorite
food put it in the comment section annie
if you’re watching i can’t wait till
this pandemic is over so we can eat
