How to learn fluent English on your own at home 5 step study plan

[Music]

hello everyone

and welcome back to english with lucy

today we're going to talk about whether

you can learn

english at home on your own i think you

can

and i'm going to give you some tips and

recommendations

it's a pretty weird time isn't it a lot

us are suddenly having to spend a lot of

time

on our own at home but this does not

mean that we have to put a pause on what

we want to achieve

like learning a language it is

possible to continue learning a language

on your own at home and i'm not going to

talk about all of the tried and tested

methods

like watching tv shows movies with

subtitles

listening to the radio i've mentioned

all of that before

these are new tips that are more

relevant than ever before let's get

straight into it

the first one is free conversation

classes

if you want to learn to speak a language

you are going to have to practice

conversing i reached out to some of my

students that i consider to be

very very successful and i asked them

what they are doing during lockdown the

one activity that came up

time and time again was online

conversation classes and i thought that

was really

interesting because i expected that they

were paying for them

but it turns out that a lot of them are

doing it for free

this surprised me i didn't think that

there would be people

running online classes for free but

there are

and you can find them and you can use

them to improve

your language skills on your own there

are lots of non-profit

online communities offering zoom

conversation lessons

there are lots of teachers that offer

these group sessions

to advertise their private sessions as

well for all the other tips i'm going to

provide links in the description box

but i'm not for this one because i don't

want to

overwhelm a small group basically

i will leave it to you to search

websites like meetup.com and

facebook and other language forums to

find

these zoom groups sometimes they're run

by teachers

and sometimes they're run by students

learners of english

who want to meet other like-minded

students and practice together

most importantly if you can't find

one of these groups or you can't find

one that suits you

why not try hosting one i'm sure if you

post in language forums

or underneath youtube videos you will be

able to find a group of like-minded

people

who also want to practice conversation

with you you might think well that's

great but how do i access

proper feedback if nobody there is a

professional teacher

well that brings me on to point number

two which comes

thanks to the sponsor of today's video

bassoo

when i was speaking to my students about

learning from home

on their own there were two key problems

that came

up again and again and again motivation

and access to feedback that's where basu

comes in

they have a solution for both of these

problems

if you haven't heard of bassoo before

it's a global language learning

community

on both desktop and mobile which i know

is very important to some of you

they have loads of language courses that

you can take to practice your speaking

listening reading and writing in english

and many other languages like spanish

and japanese

on this platform you can connect with

speakers of the language that you are

learning

and receive feedback feedback is like

gold dust when you're learning a

language it is so

valuable but it's often very hard to

find

especially if you are learning a very

popular language

they also have this amazing study plan

tool

which is going to help you stay

motivated it breaks the language down

and reminds you when and what to study

allowing you to set

realistic goals when i start focusing on

learning a language

i get overwhelmed i don't know where to

start this breaks it down for you

to sign up to pursue and explore what

they have to offer

click on the link in the description box

you can sign up

for free or you can choose to get a

premium account

which has loads of additional features

they are offering my students an

extra 30 discount on all memberships

use my code lucy30 to take advantage of

that offer let's move on to number three

accountability partners or

accountability buddies

this one depends on your personality and

whether you like

working under pressure or not i know

that i work best

under pressure so this tip is one that

i've used a lot in the past

when people embark on a difficult

challenge like

losing weight or running a marathon

they often find it easier to do it with

someone

somebody that's going to act as an extra

push of motivation

because sometimes if you don't feel like

doing something

but you see someone that you're close to

doing that thing

it pushes you and it persuades you to do

what you don't necessarily want to do

this applies to me

if i see my fiance will doing lots of

exercise and going to the gym

i feel far more inclined to join him you

can do this with language learning

too you can find an accountability

partner

i bet there's a nicer name for it

english buddy or something like that or

a motivation

mate somebody that you can be in touch

with

you can check in when you've done your

study session you can share something

new that you've learned you can compare

techniques

this can all be done over whatsapp or

text message

or email but forming a friendship with

someone

and being in the same situation offering

those kind words when you need to

offering those motivational words when

they need them

i had this when i was learning spanish

at school with my friend

tasman she was amazing we always spoke

to each other on whatsapp

in spanish and when i heard that she had

joined a new conversation class or

something like that i felt really

motivated there was a little

element of competition as well it's

whatever you like

maybe you don't like competition maybe

you do maybe you just want someone to

say nice words

maybe you want somebody to tell you off

i don't necessarily recommend that but

everybody learns in different ways

number four

listen to specific podcasts i've

mentioned

podcasts before i've got lots that i

recommend

i absolutely love podcasts because you

can multitask i love running

and listening to something educational

whilst i'm doing

exercise seems like an excellent use of

my time

if you want to improve your listening

and pronunciation the most amazing way

to do it

is to listen to a podcast whilst

reading the transcript at the same time

i always recommend that with audio books

but i'm focusing on podcasts today what

i'm talking about is something that i

think

all podcasters should do adding

transcripts to your podcasts

it's great for language learning it's

also so important for accessibility

if you're hard of hearing you're missing

out on a lot if there aren't

transcriptions provided there is a

fantastic

website that i've found that nearly

solves this problem i think many of you

will find it

very very useful indeed if there is a

podcast that you like one of the popular

podcasts

that does not provide transcriptions

there is a website called podscribe i'll

put all the links in the description box

but basically because there is a cost

associated with generating

transcriptions this website offers you

the opportunity to

pay for a transcription to be generated

it's often between

five and seven dollars per hour-long

episode once you have made that donation

those transcriptions are then there

available for

everyone so it's a real community thing

500 people just made that one donation

then there are podcast

transcriptions for 500 episodes out

there

i really recommend taking a look lots of

transcriptions have already been donated

and you can also donate some

other ones so you're not only helping

yourself you're helping other people as

well

and not just people that are learning

languages people that have a disability

as well

what a fantastic idea there are such

marvelous people

on the planet they really are the last

one

number five is imitation a topic i've

spoken about

a lot before it's what i did when i was

learning spanish

it really helped me achieve natural

fluent pronunciation it's no secret that

i used to live in spain and when i

conversed with my spanish friends

i looked at their mouths which sounds

weird but it's not

instead of making eye contact i would

make eye to mouth contact

and i would look at their lips and their

lip position and their

mouth shape and i'd look at where they

put their tongues in their mouth and

how their teeth were in comparison to

their tongues

i probably made them feel a bit

uncomfortable so that is one of the

beauties of studying at home

on your own you can do this without

embarrassment

all you need is a mirror and a smart

device

take a video of somebody speaking slowly

and clearly

if you really like the way somebody

speaks but they speak quite quickly

play around with slowing them down you

can do this on youtube sometimes it

doesn't work so well

make sure it's a video where you can

clearly see their mouth

hold the video up to your face play the

video

hold the mirror up to your face recreate

the mouth movements and the intonation

and the tongue position

if there is a sound that you just can't

grasp this technique will really really

help you

when people try to improve their public

speaking whether they're

learning a new language or doing it in

their own native language

it is often recommended that they

practice in front of a mirror this is

very much the same it's about getting

more comfortable right

that's it for today's lesson i really

hope you enjoyed it

and i really hope you can take some of

these tips and

put them into practice a big thank you

大家好

，欢迎和 lucy 一起回到英语

今天我们将讨论

你是否可以

在家自学英语，我想你

可以

，我会给你一些提示和

建议，

这很奇怪

我们中的很多人突然不得不

在家里独自度过很多时间，但这并不

意味着我们必须暂停

我们想要实现的目标，

例如学习一门

可以继续的语言在家里自学一门语言

，我不会

谈论所有久经考验的

方法，

比如看带字幕的电视节目电影，

听收音机，我已经提到了

所有这些，

这些都是新的技巧，更多

比以往任何时候都更相关让我们

直接进入

它第一个是免费的会话

课程

如果你想学习说一种语言

你将不得不练习

交谈我联系了我的一些

学生，我认为他们

非常成功并且我作为告诉

他们他们在锁定期间所做的

事情一次又一次出现的一项活动

是在线

对话课程，我认为

这真的很

有趣，因为我预计他们

会为他们付费，

但事实证明他们中的很多人都

在这样做免费

这让我感到惊讶我不认为

会有人

免费运行在线课程，但是

有

，你可以找到它们，你可以用

它们来提高

你自己的语言技能

有很多非营利的

在线社区提供缩放

对话课程

有很多老师提供

这些小组课程

来宣传他们的私人课程

以及所有其他提示我将

在描述框中提供链接

但我不适合这个因为我不

基本上想压倒一个小组，

我会让你

搜索诸如meetup.com和

facebook和其他语言论坛之类的网站来

找到

这些缩放组，有时它们是

由老师管理的

s 有时他们是由

想要结识其他志同道合的

学生并一起练习的英语学习者管理的

我敢肯定，如果

您在语言论坛

或 youtube 视频下发帖，您将

能够找到一群志同道合的

人

，他们也想与您练习对话

，您可能认为这很好，

但我如何获得

适当的反馈没有人有一个

专业的

老师让我明白第二

点，这

要感谢今天视频 bassoo 的赞助商，

当我和我的学生谈论

自己在家学习时，有两个关键问题

一次又一次地出现再次激励

和获得反馈，这就是

basu 的用武之地

我知道 sktop 和 mobile

对你们中的一些人来说非常重要，

他们有大量的语言课程，

你可以在这个平台上练习

英语

和许多其他语言（如西班牙语

和日语）的口语听力阅读和写作，

你可以与

演讲者联系您正在学习的语言

并收到反馈反馈就像

您学习一门语言时的金尘一样，

它非常

有价值，但通常很难

找到，

特别是如果您正在学习一门非常

流行的语言，

他们也有这个惊人的学习计划

工具将帮助您保持

动力它分解语言

并提醒您学习的时间和内容

当我开始专注于学习一门语言时，您可以设定切合实际的目标

我不知所措我不知道从哪里

开始

你注册追求和探索

他们所提供的

点击描述框中的链接

你可以

免费注册或者你可以选择获得一个

prem ium

帐户具有许多附加功能，

他们为我的学生

提供所有会员资格的额外 30 折扣

使用我的代码 lucy30 来利用

该优惠让我们继续使用第三个

问责伙伴或

问责伙伴，

这取决于您的个性以及

您是否是否喜欢

在压力下工作我

知道我

在压力下工作得最好所以这个技巧是

我过去经常使用的一个

技巧与

某人一起，这将成为一种额外

的动力，

因为有时如果你不想

做某事，

但你看到某人你接近

做那件事，

它会推动你并说服你做

你不做的事情不一定

要这样做 ge learning

too 你可以找到一个负责任的

伙伴

我敢打赌它有一个更好的名字

English buddy 或类似的东西或

一个激励

伙伴一个你可以联系

的人

你可以在完成

学习课程后签到你可以分享

你学到的新东西你可以比较

技术

这一切都可以通过whatsapp或

短信

或电子邮件来完成，但与某人建立友谊

并处于相同的情况下，

在你需要时提供那些客气话在他们需要

时提供那些激励性的话

当我

和我的朋友塔斯曼在学校学习西班牙语时，我有这个，

她很棒，我们总是在西班牙语

的whatsapp上互相交谈

，当我听说她

加入了一个新的会话课或

类似的东西时，我感到非常

有动力

还有一点竞争的元素，

随便你喜欢什么，

也许你不喜欢竞争，也许

你喜欢，也许你只是想让别人

说好话，

也许你喜欢没有人告诉你

我不一定推荐，但

每个人都以不同的方式学习

第四

听特定的播客我已经

提到

过播客我有很多我
