guys again if you’re ready type yes
we’re going to get right into it and i
have a question to start off
my first question for you all is tell me
why did you decide to start
studying english this is a question that
many english students
think about why am i studying english
you all know that i studied korean right
but i want to know tell me
in the comment section why are you
studying english
why did you start studying english what
is it about
english that made you want to study so i
want to know in the comments section
why you personally started studying
english let’s see i see a lot of
comments coming through yes you
all are ready to learn good so tell me
you all
in the comment section why did you start
studying english i like this nickname my
sweet chocolate best teacher ever
good morning thank you so much all right
tell me
why did you start studying english there
are so many reasons why
you could have started studying english
here we go
learn english said for school okay to
start
studying in school yasu says to study
abroad
all right um ian says hey i want to
leave brazil
all right so you’re studying english
japanese girl hello good morning says
to improve my self yes this is a very
common reason
why people start studying english aya
says because i want to study
in the usa i hope you achieve that goal
ayah
here we go it’s a beautiful and
international language well yes i agree
thank you so much for saying that but
yes
mina says i’m preparing for an ielts
exam
to continue my education yes that’s a
very important reason
why you would start studying english
indology says i want to be
fluent yes all right um archive
says because we are lazy and maybe this
is about motivation too
well actually today’s lesson is going to
help you as well
if you’ve ever felt lazy or unmotivated
i have some tips that will help you
overcome that feeling that feeling of
not being motivated here we go next we
have let’s see let’s see
i study english to get more money and
opportunities
yes good reasons uh condemn says
i want to be an english motivator yes
okay
a bug free mind says many years ago i
really wanted to understand the music
i was listening to yes that is really a
good motivation as well
let me see some more examples okay
nguyen says i want to study
abroad very good let’s see ismail says
i love to speak english that’s why i
want to learn all right so you all have
many different reasons
why you started learning english now i
want to show you three
of the main reasons three of the most
common reasons
why individuals start studying english
you all know my goal is to help
1 billion students around the world
speak english with confidence
so i have literally taught thousands
upon thousands of students
and many of them had similar reasons for
why
they started studying english so let me
show you what those
reasons actually were the first reason
because they truly got inspired
you know think about it maybe someone
inspired you
maybe you saw another non-native english
speaker
on a television program or youtube
channel and you saw how fluently they
spoke and you said
i can do the same thing maybe someone
inspired you
another reason that is very common is
right here because you have
a clear goal a few moments ago
a student mentioned that she’s studying
for the ielts exam
that’s a very clear goal and you need
english in order
to accomplish that goal or maybe
you want to improve yourself
again another student a few moments ago
said hey
i want to improve myself these are some
of the main reasons
why you start studying english but now
everyone
i have another question why do you
stop studying english sometimes now not
completely
i want you to think about your personal
situations
many of you have been studying english
for months
and even for years and sometimes you get
a little bit
bored you lose your motivation so
tell me when you feel like you can’t be
consistent
when you feel like english is a little
bit hard
why do you stop studying maybe again
it’s hard or
it’s boring sometimes tell me some
reasons why you
feel yourself not studying as
consistently sometimes
because i’ve had this conversation with
many students as well
i had one student again as you’re
writing your answer tell me in the
comments section
why you stop studying english sometimes
because today’s focus is to help you
learn how to stop
stopping how to be more consistent
i’ll tell you a story again as you’re
telling me some reasons why it’s hard to
study english
one of my students when i was in south
korea one of my favorite students
she was in my 6 a.m class very early in
the morning
she used to come to class before she
went to work
and she was very smart very intelligent
lady
but i started noticing that she was
coming to class a little later
she wasn’t preparing for the exams and
it seemed
like she was losing her motivation so
one day while we were sitting in class
i said hey you know i’ll say her name
was sally it wasn’t sally but just to
check protect her i said sally let me
talk to you she said hey
what’s going on tiff we were close so
she called me tiff
um i said i’ve noticed that you’re not
as
excited or passionate about studying
english like you were in the past i said
what’s going on
and she said tiff i’ll be honest with
you i love
english and i want to learn but i’ve
been studying for so
long i i don’t feel like i’m getting
where i need to get
i get a little bit bored and i’m losing
my motivation
so i’m not being as consistent as i was
in the past
and we talked for a long time and i kind
of helped her figure out hey
how to be consistent even when you have
these up and down moments
and this may be the same thing you are
looking for in today’s lesson as well i
want to help
you at the same time for example someone
says
tyle says because sometimes i don’t know
what to study
this is another reason why sometimes it
seems hard to be consistent
uh dog food says i guess a little bit
overwhelmed by all
the vocabs that i had to learn good
point
condon says because i have no
environment so
i could not speak english well these are
reasons why it’s hard to be consistent
nell says sometimes i get tired
and i struggle with the idioms and i
lose my motivation
uh condon uh also said again i got you
cundin
uh tariq says not making a schedule
these are reasons why it’s hard to
remain consistent
annie delhi says because i don’t know
how to memorize
vocabulary hassan says i understand but
it’s hard for me to speak let’s see
memory says
just like me feeling the same way um
ciao says hi teacher hey dao i’m from
brazil i love your unique way to learn
english for us
this is my passion definitely oh this is
my
thank you so much i appreciate those
kind words let me get one more again
something that’s difficult why is it so
hard to keep studying english sometimes
here we go
ah because i don’t have
time to practice
this is another one i think russian
student good to see you when i read the
paragraph
i can’t get it mina says my biggest
problem is that i can’t find an
available
native english speaker mental exhaustion
you guys are bringing out some very
good points yes it gets very difficult
to be consistent
here are some other reasons why you may
stop you get tired
your goal feels too big you get too busy
to study you don’t see results
you don’t have a plan you don’t see the
real life connection
uh earlier someone mentioned that you
you don’t have somebody to practice with
this is a big one you don’t have a
partner you get bored
and you get easily distracted these
are real issues but today
i want to give you guys three tips that
will help you overcome
all of these issues and finally stay
focused and be consistent you don’t have
to worry about being
bored all the time i’m gonna help you so
here we go guys
tip number one here’s the first
tip understand that your energy
fluctuates
tip two declutter the english currently
in your brain
and tip number three designate a
specific
study location someone in the comments
section
actually mentioned that it’s hard to
find the right environment
to study in right so tip number
one understanding that your energy
fluctuates the body goes through a
natural
ebb and flow sometimes we have lots of
energy and can accomplish
many tasks however sometimes we lack the
energy
needed to even start certain
tasks now let me explain it like this
night owls
versus early birds versus early birds so
in the morning early birds have lots
of energy they think clearer
and they are more productive now
if you all have been watching my video
lessons for a while you’ll know for a
fact that i
am an early bird it’s actually 7
15 in the morning here in america where
i live
and i’ve already been up for two hours
why because i am an early bird as you
all can tell i have
lots of energy i’m not tired in the
morning
i feel very very energized
because i am an early bird now it’s very
important for you to
understand your energy levels because
when you understand them
it will affect how you study english now
night owls are the opposite night owls
feel the most productive have lots of
energy
and process things better at night
so let me ask you all a question real
quick i’m an early bird but i want to
know is anyone else an early bird
in the comment section you can write say
i’m an early bird
or you can write i’m a night owl so
again i want to know
those that are watching right now hold
on one second
ismaraldo hello hello
all right so in the comment section let
me know say
i’m a night owl or i’m an early bird i
want to see
how many of you all are early birds and
how many of you all are night owls here
we go
all right some people came through learn
english i’m a night owl okay a night owl
let’s see uh so says i’m a night out so
are you korean i’m wondering your name
looks like it may be korean let me know
all right here we go here we go um let
me see again tell me if you’re a night
owl or
an early bird an early bird here we go
let me scroll down here we go all right
ah let’s see let’s see again type it in
the comment section
let’s see let’s see all right japanese
girl says
i’m a night owl okay got you carmella a
night owl okay
allison says i’m both i have energy in
the morning and energy at night okay
allison i like that
all right kagari says a night out all
right here we go
let’s see let’s see arcana and early
bird another early bird hello
all right let’s see susie is also an
early bird all right here we go let’s
see let’s see
aya an early bird here we go let’s see
let’s see
some more early birds are they coming
through okay no we have
memory a night owl remember o-w-l
uh sabine says i’m a night owl here we
go
uh youtube’s an early human not bird
remember this is an expression
so you’re not a bird but we say early
bird
all right lowly says i’m an early bird
all right
allen is an early bird we have a lot of
early birds hidar
lala is a night owl here we go don’t
worry
story time will come at the end so stay
tuned
all right uh let’s see uh bond says he’s
an early
bird uh let’s see sulestia
i like that name celestia says i’m an
early bird
alam hey alam good to see you early bird
michael says i’m a night owl buy a night
out
archive night out we have a lot of night
owls you know a lot of my
closest friends are night owls i’m the
early bird amongst my friends
um here we go muhammad early bird maria
early bird
soul night owl okay alan for sure
early bird thank you merv i appreciate
that all right
let’s see so we have a lot of early
birds and a lot of
night owls now again think about
how you feel if you’re an early bird
think about the morning like me right
now
full of energy i haven’t eaten breakfast
yet but i still
feel full of energy because it’s the
morning
now at night again the opposite happens
your
energy levels understanding your energy
levels it’s important
even as it relates to english now what
about the days of the week this is also
very interesting
so on monday you may get lots of
projects to work on
for the week but it’s monday you have
enough energy however by friday because
of
all the projects and work you have
throughout the week
you don’t have a lot of energy so again
we’re still talking about this idea of
energy
fluctuating we understand now the
morning versus the night right
but the days of the week for me actually
on
saturday so on friday evenings my body
suddenly starts to get really relaxed
and i get tired earlier on friday
evenings
and on saturday so i go to church on
saturdays of course because of the
pandemic
we’re having church at home you know
virtually but on saturdays you know i
attend church
and then i usually rest for saturday so
my body knows
hey on saturdays relax
rest day right but on monday and even on
sunday
i am full of energy today is sunday so i
recognize
okay wait a minute on friday afternoon
i shouldn’t start any big projects why
because i know that friday evening my
energy levels will start going down
however on sunday morning this morning
when my energy levels come back up i can
start big
projects so let me ask you all this
question
think about your energy level do you
have more energy on monday
or on friday for me i have more energy
on monday
what about you do you have more energy
on
mondays or on friday some people say
friday because hey
they’re ready for the weekend they’re
excited they’re ready to go out
but what about you do you have more
energy on monday
or on friday let me go to the comment
section tell me do you have more energy
on monday or friday uh thank you so much
hesty i’m glad you’re able to
understand all right so again i would
look in the comment section
we see some more night owls coming
through um
no i’m actually from the east coast from
maryland uh when i speak
with my friends i may sound a little bit
different i use a lot of slang with my
friends
all right shahad says monday monday
shahad has
more energy on mondays all right
here we go let’s see let’s see okay
lowly has
more energy on mondays let’s see let’s
see
yes yo chocolate teacher
all right good morning beatrice good to
see you all right
anna says i have more energy on monday
yes
rafaela says i have more energy actually
on thursday okay
all right now this is going to be very
important as we continue moving through
the lesson
think about again the time of day you
have the most energy
and the day of the week all right lala
says
monday carmela says i have more energy
on
friday very interesting all right
kristen v
says full energy and good thinking clear
mind on monday all right cake music
on friday you have more energy all right
says come on
on friday yes all right sadia says
monday all right uh urilo says he takes
classes or she takes classes
on thursday night so maybe is when you
have the most
energy malek says friday mirandu
miran drew five says monday
swa says friday aaliyah monday all right
arri i like your name
friday alright carolina on monday always
shivanshu on monday all right welton i
have more energy
on friday all right alan on mondays
maya on mondays all right so again we’re
answering the question
when do you have the most energy
we all understand our bodies right so
you know yourself
when do you have the most energy i do a
few more here we go
let’s see tema says monday saul says i
have energy more
on sundays all right today floor
says monday and ogzu
osgoo says on monday i’m most energetic
but i’m the opposite on sunday so on
sunday
monday right okay so you
understand your energy level now why is
this
so important as it relates to your
english studies let me show you what’s
going on
so again we talked about in the very
beginning sometimes you get tired
sometimes you feel like your goal is too
big
and sometimes you get too busy to study
all of these things relate to your
energy level
remember guys i speak korean i studied
korean i lived in south korea for almost
10 years so i understand exactly what
you’re feeling
there were moments when i got bored
i got frustrated didn’t want to keep
studying but that was because i didn’t
understand
this tip i didn’t understand that my
energy
fluctuates that my energy was
fluctuating back then as well so
this totally eliminates these issues the
solution
first figure out what days of the week
you have the most energy
what we just went over some of you said
sunday some of you said monday
some of you said thursday or friday
figure out for yourself
what day or days of the week you have
the most energy
i selected sunday and thursday
today is sunday and as you see early in
the morning
i have tons of energy i also have energy
on thursdays
let me explain why again this is helping
you understand
when to study on what days to study
you want to study when you have the most
energy
so for me on thursdays i have the most
energy why
because monday tuesday and wednesday i
work
hard i have a lot of meetings and a lot
of projects
so i don’t have any mental space or
energy to do anything else
but when thursday comes whoo
i feel like i accomplished a lot during
the
past three days monday tuesday wednesday
so i have enough energy to move forward
the same needs to go for you figure out
what day or days of the week you have
the most
energy and use those days to study
english and you’ll be more consistent
and secondly figure out what time of day
you have the most
energy we talked about night owls versus
early birds
i’m an early bird so i circled 7am
now again for you all real quick in the
comments section everyone
we talked about the day of the week that
you have the most energy
what time of day now i know you may be a
night owl but what time of night
what time is it 7 p.m or is it 11 p.m
i have some friends literally that
they’ll start studying at 11 pm
at night and they’re fine me i can’t do
that because i
am an early bird so tell me the exact
time when you have the most energy
all right in the comments section tell
me the exact
time of day when you have the most
energy hold on one second let’s see
let’s see
what time of day all right japanese girl
says when it’s getting darker so you
mean like when it’s sunset so if sun
sets at
5 pm you have energy then or if sunsets
at 9 pm you have energy then all right
tell me the exact time of day here we go
some are coming through right now all
right anna says i have the most energy
at 10 am all right let’s see
thor says 8 p.m all right give me the
exact
time think about when you feel your best
like
i have energy what time do you feel like
that
all right abdul aziz says 8 p.m all
right
isadora says 6 p.m archive says 9
a.m let’s see let’s see uh learn english
says
how can i know what time of day i have
the most energy all right
great question think about
how you feel when you wake up in the
morning you go throughout your day
you take a shower you eat breakfast you
start working
and you’re going throughout your day
there are periods in your day when
you don’t feel stressed you feel like
you can
conquer the world that’s the time of day
when you have the most energy
for me that happens at 7 00 am i can
have 13 different things to do but i
feel like everything is organized in my
mind at 7 00 am
but at 7 00 p.m no because my brain is
starting to shut down a little bit
my energy is dropping so think about the
time of day when you feel the most
productive that’s when you have the most
energy
all right katera says 10 a.m all right
rafaela says
uh this is 6 p.m military time i like
that
all right ian says 5 40 a.m uh mahwah
says 8 am
jana says 5 pm maya 9 am
vladislav 9 am we’re getting a lot of 9
a.m
all right aaliyah 6 a.m someone else
around 9 00 am tala 9 a.m
so 8 p.m rafaela 6 p.m
all right alam says from about seven to
nine that’s good
you recognize the time period that’s
great two hours all right
in english we say a block of time all
right
mawa 8 a.m all right let me scroll down
here we go
tama says 5 a.m hamad
10 p.m mawa again 8 a.m uh
sebta says at night so all throughout
the night okay
all right then we have let’s see let’s
see some more coming through
all right more coming through here we go
7 30 a.m
dog food says 8 a.m sharp i like how you
use that expression good job
gianya says 7 a.m we have 3
p.m all right 5 30 a.m from adam so
again
you all are seeing that everyone has a
different
time this is so important for you to
understand again this is the first
tip understand that your energy
fluctuates
recognize you as an individual
when do you feel the most energized what
time of day
use that time to study english
when you study at different times of the
day when you don’t have energy
that’s when you start to feel tired you
feel
overwhelmed you feel like ah i don’t
have time to study english
simply because you don’t have enough
energy so again
tip number one everyone figure out
how to keep your energy up remembering
that your energy fluctuates so
find the day of the week that works best
for you high energy levels
and the time of day that works best for
you high energy levels all right
tip number one again understand that
your energy
fluctuates all right let’s move on to
tip number two i think you all
understand tip number one
here’s tip number two you have to
declutter the english currently
in your brain now this word declutter
let’s practice the pronunciation after
me
declutter good again
declutter excellent now
faster declutter good job good job
kind of sounds like a d sound in the
middle right when you say it fast
declutter excellent now clutter
just refers to mess now as an individual
i’m very organized
but there are moments in time where my
office will get a little bit messy there
will be papers
strewn everywhere maybe cups or
different books
that’s clutter again it’s kind of a mess
so declutter means to remove the clutter
and organize things and step two is to
declutter
the english that is currently in
your brain let me explain a little bit
more clutter refers to a collection of
things that are put
together but end up being a mess
when something is cluttered it is hard
to distinguish
what is important and what is not
important you see
think about this family when you’re
studying
english someone mentioned earlier at the
very beginning that you get overwhelmed
because you have to learn so many
vocabulary words
so basically what’s happening in your
brain you learned
10 words today 13 words uh last week and
they’re all coming in right but they’re
not organized
they’re not based on a topic they’re not
based on a certain
time period so they get cluttered and
mixed up
and that’s when you start to get
overwhelmed
start feeling like english is so hard
because they’re cluttered in your brain
now i want to help you understand how to
fix this
so clutter and the brain think about a
desk again i mentioned earlier
if a desk is cluttered and has things
scattered everywhere
it will make your brain also feel
cluttered
and you will be overwhelmed the same is
true for the way that
english is stored in your brain if it’s
cluttered you won’t be able
to focus now i see that somebody has a
question
harsh uh you can type your question
again there are a lot of people watching
live right now
so i’m trying to get to everyone’s
comment but if you can type your
question i’ll be more than happy to
answer
it alright so again we’re talking about
clutter
you have to declutter the english that
is in your brain
now organization and the brain you see a
space that is
tidy clean and organized
helps you to think clearer and grasp
new concepts or ideas faster
i’ma say that again when things
are organized you’re able to
grasp ideas faster think about right now
i’m speaking to you about how to be
consistent
and focus when you’re studying english
because i understand how frustrated it
gets
when you get overwhelmed well i broke my
lesson down
into three simple tips why because
you can grasp information that is
organized
the same is true again for your brain
you
are amazing you’re learning another
language english is not your first
language
so you’re already awesome let me again
help you
organize all the information that you’ve
put into your brain
related to english now continuing the
same is true
for the english you have stored in your
brain if it’s organized
you will feel more focused and
productive listen this happened to me
as it related to korean so again i told
you while i speak korean
for those of the korean watching and
yeah uh i was studying a lot
right i had to study a lot in order to
understand korean words
concepts idioms and ideas but i got to
this point where i was getting confused
because i had so much information and i
realized you know what
let me stop let me organize what i’ve
learned so i had notebooks
hey this is this topic from learning
about food these are the words related
to food if i’m learning about
slang these are the slang terms i’m
learning and what happened was
in my brain everything started to be
compartmentalized
so i was able to understand more and use
it and
access what i was learning faster
because i started
to declutter the korean that was in my
brain
this is what you have to do as well when
you do this
english will get easier you’ll stop
being so
overwhelmed let me see a question came
through carmela says
how can i organize an answer to any
question in english
i actually have a video on that so if
you go to my
video page you’ll see how to answer any
question in english but i explained that
as well
with that real quick five w’s who what
when where and why
no matter what the question is if you
include who what when where and why in
your answer
the person listening will feel that you
are fluent another way you can answer
any question in english
giving three reasons three details or
three examples
so again i’ve broken things down into
systems why
because i understand when things are
organized you’re able to grasp
things faster and this is what you have
to remember as you study
english so let me show you in more
detail how you can apply
this tip here we go again issue you
don’t see results
you don’t have a plan and you don’t see
the real life
connection this is something oh real
quick guys i want to explain this
this is something that i focus on with
my students seeing the real-life
connection again
some of you are already in my academy
again speak english with
tiffanyacademy.com
the link is right in the description and
i teach a class every single week live
for my academy students
but we go over new words and expressions
and i teach them how to connect
what they learned to their actual life
this is so important when you do that
you feel like you’ve accomplished
something
and you don’t feel as overwhelmed
here we go so how do you do this right
here again
this will eliminate all these issues
first you must
take an inventory of what you
already know in english get a notebook
and create
pages in the notebook with this layout
date
word or expression the meaning an
example sentence
the source where you heard the word or
saw someone use it
and then how you shared it very
important again
this is going to take time but this is
the way you organize
all of the things in your brain related
to english you can declutter
the english in your brain alright so
again write the date you see for the
example i have right here
i wrote march 4th 2021
learn the word live it which means
extremely
angry example sentence she was livid
yesterday
i learned it on youtube so again
organize what you’re learning you’ll be
amazed how quickly you’ll remember what
you learned
when you start organizing why because
your brain is literally a computer
the more you organize it the easier it
will be for you to access what’s in your
brain alright
so this is what you need to do again tip
number two declutter
the english that is already in your
brain
a comment came through um m
ron drew says your answers tiffany are
very clear and consistent thank you so
much hey
my pleasure my pleasure it’s my goal to
help you all
uh let’s see let’s see um another
question
if someone asks questions it’s difficult
to answer
immediately to form english sentences
all right the reason it’s difficult
is because you’re not able to access the
english
already in your brain remember i tell
you all all the time
you are amazing you’re learning another
language
which means your brain is already
awesome right it’s not your mother
tongue
what you have to do is organize
declutter the english
that is in your brain so that when
somebody asks you a question
you’ll know how to access it okay have
it in this category let me access this
piece of information
for example if i asked you hello what’s
your name
immediately you can say it in english if
i ask you hey
where do you live immediately you can
answer that question why
because in your brain you already have a
section introductions
in english if i asked you hey where do
you work you have a section
workplace or job-related english this
happens in your brain
and you need to help your brain by
organizing the extra information you’ve
put into it
your brain is amazing so again
tip number two declutter the english
that is already
in your brain all right now let’s move
on everyone to tip
number three designate a specific
study location now someone sent me a
virtual hug
i’ll hug you back thank you so much all
right so
you have to designate a specific
study location it’s very very important
environments encourage specific tasks
in other words they serve as a trigger
to let your brain know that it is
time to do one specific task so here we
go guys
i want you to think about this kitchen
if i walk into the kitchen what does my
body naturally think
oh it’s time to eat oh it’s time to cook
some food
why because the environment triggers
that in my brain
for example basketball you all know i
love basketball it’s one of my main
hobbies right i love playing basketball
so when i walk into a gym where there’s
a basketball on the floor if i pick up
the basketball
i’m in the environment i see basketball
hoops everywhere
immediately my mind is like okay it’s
time for tiff to play basketball
and i go into basketball mode let’s say
starbucks
now for me starbucks is where i like to
get a lot of work done
i organize things related to my business
when i go to starbucks
i’ll order um a chai latte with soy milk
whoa it’s so good y’all
and i’ll sit down for hours organizing
things related to my business
why because the environment starbucks as
an
environment makes me want to go into
work mode
this is what you have to do as it
relates to english
you have to find an environment that
when you go to that environment
it triggers your brain it’s study time
these are things that if you understand
your english will go to the next
level so let me break it down a little
bit more here we go guys
benefit number one having a specific
location
eliminates unnecessary distractions
and interruptions you see when you know
exactly what you’re doing in an area
you will focus only on that one thing
when i go to starbucks
i don’t get on the phone and talk to my
friends i don’t watch movies
no i have my notebook for my business
and i get on my computer and i do
business related tasks i don’t get
distracted because
starbucks is for business for me
now someone asked the question uh
shayani says
what is the meaning of trigger okay
great question
trigger means um something that causes
something else to happen
for example um when you are cooking food
in a microwave right you put your food
into the microwave right you hit the
start button
and for a full minute the food is
cooking and
then you hear bing what does that bing
mean
that bing triggers you to walk to the
microwave
open it and take your food out until you
hear that ding
you don’t move because the food is not
ready so a trigger is something that
when it
happens it causes you to do something it
causes
another reaction so when i walk into
starbucks
my brain my body literally goes into
focus mode it literally happens
every single time which is why i really
miss starbucks being open because the
pandemic
they’re closed but they’re open to take
food out or drinks out
but it’s a trigger it causes something
else to happen we say trigger so
great question all right now the other
benefit again of designating a specific
place is right
here designating a specific
location for an activity will also
help you concentrate more on
what you are doing as i mentioned before
so
how do you use this with english now
remember
some of the issues are you don’t have a
partner you get bored
you get easily distracted now again
these things cause you to
not focus but these things are totally
eliminated
when you have a designated study
location because you go into
focus mode so here we go relating to
english
right here what can you do find a
location that you can study in
with no distractions so important
you have to go somewhere where there are
no distractions
you need to focus this is how your brain
will create a trigger oh
we’re here that means nothing else can
bother her
nothing else can bother him all right
now you need to make sure
it is comfortable and convenient
next also pay attention to the sounds
you hear for example for me when i go to
starbucks
the sounds of um coffee being made the
machine
the door being open people on their
phones
the sound of someone tapping on their
desk these sounds are part of the
environment
but they actually help me focus it’s
very interesting
again maybe you’re someone that likes
silence and that’s okay
figure out in the environment you go to
what do you need to hear do you need to
hear
music do you need to hear silent or not
not hear silence but
maybe music or people moving around
figure out what matches
your environment um let me see
yanga says i like to ask how to deal
with pressure that’s
put by people already speaking english
perfectly for example you stay with them
but they always gossip that your english
is horrible
well here’s what i’ll say i’m a native
english speaker
my english is perfect because i’m an
american right i mean of course we all
make mistakes
i don’t put any of my students down and
i’m saying
i don’t make fun of any of my students i
encourage you all so if anyone is making
fun of you
you don’t need to be around them stay
with people who motivate you
don’t let anyone else’s opinion of you
when it’s negative
affect you focus on yourself you are
amazing you’re learning another language
push through so don’t worry about those
people honestly don’t worry about
them at all now the three tips again
that we focused on everyone the three
tips
that will help you finally stay focused
and consistent again
understand that energy your energy
fluctuates to declutter
the english currently in your
brain and three designate
specific study locations one or
more it’s okay a question came through
teacher
please explain what is silence oh this
is i’ll show you what silence is
silence means no sound at all so just
right now i was silent not speaking at
all
complete and total silence
all right good question good question
all right now
these are the three tips that i wanted
to give you again
understand that your energy fluctuates
to declutter the english that is
currently in your brain and three
designate a specific study location when
you do these three things
you will start to enjoy english more
english won’t seem as
hard these things are very very
important
um another question came through uh
declutter uh remember declutter just
means
um to take away mess to organize things
all right
uh thank you so much someone said your
illustrations are amazing
thank you very much thank you very much
now everyone
that’s all i have for you today the
lesson is over but again

these three tips again i’ve taught
thousands upon thousands upon thousands
of students
so i’ve talked to students just like you

these three tips
you’ll remain consistent and you’ll

all right i don’t see anybody giving the
answer yet so i get yes
there you go annyeong it is
story time hey i said it story
time all right now some of you
this may be your first time watching one
of my video lessons but
for those of you that have been with me
for a long time you know at the end of a
lesson i like to tell you all
a story so i’m going to give you today’s
story and you know i talked to you about
uh
understanding that your energy
fluctuates so i’m going to give you a
story about
me and my energy i told you all that i’m
a morning person right
so i want to tell you this story that
happened when i was in south korea now i
lived there for almost 10 years right
many friends made many friends and i
want to talk about one of my friends
she’s not korean she was a fellow
teacher
her and her husband we were all hanging
out and her husband decided to play some
video games and she and i decided to
watch a movie
now it was about 9 15 9 30 p.m at night
remember i told you all i’m a morning
person but you know it was saturday
night i wanted to stay up late and hang
out with my friends
so my friend and i we were talking she
said hey tiff okay let’s watch a movie i
said
yes let’s do it and we actually were
gonna watch a movie that was talking
about
the relationship between south koreans
and the black community
it was a an indie film i n d i e you all
can look that up
so she picked the movie and i said oh
man i’ve really been
meaning to watch this movie so i
remember it like it was yesterday this
situation
so we’re sitting in we were in their
spare bedroom her husband was in the
other room playing video games
so we’re sitting on the sofa in their
spare bedroom and she said tiff
now it’s late are you ready i said hey i
am wide awake girl let’s do it
i thought i was wide awake so we found
the movie
we got the popcorn we had our little
juicer soda and we were sitting down
ready to watch the movie
she said tiff are you ready i said girl
i am ready i am so looking forward to
this movie
so i remember her getting the remote and
she hit
play and i remember how the movie
started it was a black and white film
even though it was
a very new film it was black and white
that was part of the
aesthetic part of the visual appeal so
we’re sitting and we’re watching the
movie and i’m seeing
the main characters and they’re talking
to each other and all
for some reason things started getting
really hazy right so i’m just sitting
and i’m watching and then i feel my
friend looking at me and she said tiff
i said what was wrong she said you’ve
been sleep for the last 30 minutes i
said no i haven’t
listen i fell asleep as soon as the
movie started
and my friend said tiff you know you
can’t hang oh
to hang means to last for a long time
she said as soon as the movie started
prior to the movie starting i was awake
alive had lots of energy
but as soon as she hit play i dozed off
i didn’t even realize it
so we laughed she said tiff come on now
come on tip so
we laughed or whatever clearly i went to
sleep now the next morning i woke up at
six am
six am the next morning and i was ready
my friend got up eventually and she said
oh now
now you’re ready to watch the tv huh so
anyways it was our break that weekend so
we watched like four or five episodes oh
here’s an example guys
and with an e it’s a great program on
netflix if you guys want to practice
your english
uh listening skills and with an e so we
got up the next morning again
i told you all energy fluctuates that
night i thought i was ready
as soon as the play button got hit i was
asleep
but the next morning i was ready and we
watched about six episodes
because my energy was back up so
i just wanted to give you guys that
quick story
because i understood uh i was trying to
act like i wasn’t tired but
i understand that my energy fluctuates
so just like with you all studying
english
recognize that your energy fluctuates
and learn yourself
for me when i study korean i don’t study
at night because i fall asleep
so i don’t know if anybody else has ever
had that experience
um i see some comments coming through
hold on here we go
yes my friends always always say hey
tiff she can’t hang at night but she’ll
be there in the morning that’s right i’m
