hello everyone and welcome back to

english with Lucy today I am going to be

giving you some tips that will help you

find native speakers that you can

practice with we all know that

practicing with native speakers is one

of the best ways of becoming fluent in

another language in this case English

they can help you with your

pronunciation they can help you improve

your listening you might learn lots of

new slang phrases and casual and

informal phrases with them you might

pick up some idioms some new verbs loads

of new vocabulary so many of my students

ask me how they can access native

speakers because it isn't that easy

many want to make friends with native

speakers but don't know how to find them

or how to approach them in this video we

will discuss different ways in which you

can find native speakers talk to them

and persuade them to help you let's get

started with the video tip one is access

natives on the go this first point

covers two great tools private tutors

and language partners but what's the

difference well in simple terms you pay

a private tutor for their time and a

language partner forms part of a

mutually beneficial arrangement when no

money is exchanged you help them with

their desired language the language

they're learning probably your mother

tongue and they in exchange help you

with the language that you're learning

normally their mother tongue for example

if I wanted to learn Spanish I would

find a native Spanish person who wants

to learn English and I would exchange

with them so we have private tutors and

language partners the best way to learn

a language is to combine these two tools

scheduling frequent paid classes with

the private tutors these are normally

easier to find and will help you to

follow a more structured learning

program and complement this with

sessions with a language partner you

learn new skills with the tutor

and put them into practice with the

language partner the sponsor of this

video i talked ii is the perfect

solution as it offers both of these

tools from the convenience of your

mobile phone you will have heard me

mention I talked you before it's a huge

online database of both native and

community teachers offering very

affordable private classes for over 130

languages why is it relevant for this

video well I talk he have just

relaunched their mobile phone app so you

can find and access these teachers and

language partners on-the-go from your

mobile all you have to do is download

the app using the link in the

description box and create an account

once you've signed in you can explore

everything the app has to offer

this is especially great as I talked he

also has a language partner program

where you can type in which ever

language you want to practice choose

whether or not you want a native speaker

and even decide where you would like

them to be from you can then see all of

the available language partners and also

see if they are wanting to learn your

language then you can contact them and

see if they'd like to practice I'm so

excited about this app because it means

that you can access this amazing

combination of finding a private tutor

and a language partner from your mobile

phone wherever you are you can access

natives on the go it's a great way to

participate in customized lessons that

cater to your learning interests and

needs click on the link in the

description box to download the app and

start the process number two another

idea for finding language exchange

partners is contact a local language

school that teaches your language you'll

be surprised at the amount of language

schools around that teach your language

obviously there are English schools

everywhere but if you live in Poland

there are probably quite a few schools

that teach Polish to foreigners same

firm anywhere else in the world the

teachers and organizers there are

probably desperate to find people that

will practice with their students get in

contact with them with a nice

introductory email and

let them know which languages you speak

and what you are looking to practice you

never know they may be able to put you

in contact with a native speaker I

experienced this firsthand when I

studied Spanish in Spain lots of native

Spanish speakers would come to the

school and put down their name to be

paired up with a native English or

native French speaker if both parties

agreed to meet well we would go to a bar

and practice half an hour in one

language and half an hour in another

normally by the end of the evening it

was just a massive muddle of languages

but it was really really good fun so I

highly recommend that you try out this

method and you might even make some new

friends tip number three could be

considered a little controversial and I

urge you to do this with a lot of care

the third tip is to comment down below

and try and find a like-minded language

partner you're not necessarily going to

find a native speaker in the comment

section because people are here normally

to learn English but you might find a

nice group of like-minded people that

are all striving to speak fluent English

I know that a lot of people form

Facebook groups and whatsapp groups all

I ask is that you are very very careful

especially if you're under the age of 18

if you would like to try and find a

language partner then you can comment

down below with your age where you're

from the languages you speak and the

languages that you are looking to

practice I don't want to have to say

this but I will say this this is not an

opportunity to find a girlfriend or

boyfriend number four is try playing

video games

another teacher I never thought I would

recommend video games but when I was

teaching in a language school there was

one guy who spoke the most a credible

American English and he'd never been to

America and I said where have you got

this accent and vocabulary from

expecting him to say movies or TV shows

and he said gaming a lot of video games

nowadays have a voice chat option and if

you join a specific server you can

interact with speakers of the language

that you are trying to learn the best

part of this is

no one knows who you are so you don't

have to be afraid of making mistakes and

you don't have to be afraid of

embarrassing yourself

if gaming is something that you do

anyway why not try incorporating

practicing English into your hobby if

you manage to find somebody that is

amazingly helpful somebody who corrects

you somebody who teaches you new phrases

try and play with them more often

they're enjoying themselves anyway you

might as well get something out of the

interaction tip number five is use the

website Meetup

so the website meetup is what it says on

the tin it's a website where people host

meetups social gatherings a hot topic on

meetup is language exchanges all you

have to do is search language exchange

and your city or town and see if

something is going on in the near future

if there isn't anything going on try

setting one up yourself it's a little

bit daunting but you don't know until

you try at the very least it's an

amazing opportunity to meet loads of

people from all different parts of the

world I used to go to language exchanges

in London and I absolutely loved them I

always used to Scout a few students as

well when I was teaching funny story

actually about a meet-up I went to a

language exchange in London and there

was a face painter there painting faces

with glitter so all of my friends went

away and got their face painted whilst I

was in the toilet and whilst I was in

the toilet I received a message saying

don't forget to go straight up and get

your face painted so I went there and

she said what would you like and I said

I don't know a watermelon and the face

painter looked at me and said you want a

watermelon

I said yes a Waterman and I thought it

would look really cute

I like watermelons it's one of my

favorite fruits so she said okay I'm

paint you a watermelon on your face

and so she painted this beautiful

glittery watermelon and I went to meet

my friends and they all had the flag of

their country on the father face because

that was the entire point of the

language exchange you had your native

languages flag on your face but I had a

wot man and everyone was coming up to me

so where are you from oh it's just like

honey do you mind that was meant to be a

joke because honeydew's a melon no it

was embarrassing I just had to explain I

didn't understand the whole face

painting process the last tip I have is

number 6 and it is join language

learning groups on Facebook there are so

many groups on Facebook and they can be

a little bit overwhelming my advice is

to look for very small groups or start

your own the groups with 50,000 members

you'd be surprised at how empty they are

a lot of people have joined because it's

a big group but no one really

participates look for small language

exchange groups on Facebook and join

them and if there aren't any that look

legit to you start your own and see if

like-minded people join I used to post

in a lot of language learning groups

when I started my channel I used to

share my videos there and I was amazed

at how helpful people were in those

groups they may not all be native

speakers there are a lot of very

accomplished non-native speakers in

these groups and they are so so helpful

to anyone who has a question or a doubt

right that's it for today's lesson I

hope you enjoyed it and I hope you

learned something don't forget to click

on the link in the description box and

download the relaunched I talkie app go

on there find yourself a private tutor

and find yourself a language partner and

combine those two tools honestly it's a

great way of learning a language don't

forget to connect with me on all of my

social media I've got my facebook my

Instagram and my Twitter and I shall see

you soon for another lesson yeah a

little bit a little bit just gonna make

大家好，欢迎

今天和 Lucy 一起回到英语，我

将为您提供一些技巧，帮助

您找到可以

练习的母语

人士 语言在这种情况下 英语

他们可以帮助您

提高发音 他们可以帮助您提高

听力 您可能会学习很多

新的俚语短语以及随意和

非正式的短语 您可能会

学习一些成语 一些新动词

大量新词汇 很多 我的学生

问我他们如何才能接触到

母语人士，因为

很多人想与母语人士交朋友

但不知道如何找到他们

或如何在这个视频中接近他们并不容易。我们

将讨论不同的方式

可以找到母语人士与他们交谈

并说服他们帮助您让我们

开始使用视频提示一个是随时随地访问

母语第一点

涵盖了两个很棒的工具私人 tut ors

和语言合作伙伴，但有什么

区别？

你的

母语，作为交换，他们会帮助

你学习你正常学习的语言，

他们的母语，例如，

如果我想学习西班牙语，我会

找一个

想学习英语的西班牙人，我会

和他们交流，所以我们有 私人导师和

语言合作伙伴 学习语言的最佳方法

是将这两种工具与私人导师结合起来

安排经常付费的课程，

这些工具通常

更容易找到，并将帮助您

遵循更有条理的学习

计划，并通过

与 语言合作伙伴您

与导师一起学习新技能，

并与

语言合作伙伴一起付诸实践 s

video i talk ii 是完美的

解决方案，因为它通过方便的手机提供了这两种

工具，

你会听到我

提到我之前和你谈过它是一个庞大

的本地和社区教师在线数据库，

提供非常

实惠的私人课程 超过 130

种语言 为什么它与这个

视频很相关 我说他刚刚

重新启动了他们的手机应用程序，这样你

就可以从你的手机上找到并访问这些教师和

语言合作伙伴

你所要做的就是

下载应用程序使用

描述框中的链接并

在您登录后创建一个帐户，您可以探索

该应用程序必须提供的所有内容，

这特别棒，因为我说过他

还有一个语言合作伙伴计划

，您可以在其中输入

您想要的任何语言 练习 选择

您是否想要一个以母语为母语的人

，甚至决定您希望

他们来自哪里，然后您可以查看

所有可用的语言伙伴，并

查看他们是否是 想学习你的

语言，那么你可以联系他们，

看看他们是否愿意练习我

对这个应用程序感到非常兴奋，因为这

意味着你可以通过手机访问这个惊人的

组合，找到一个私人导师

和一个语言伙伴

无论您身在何处，您都可以随时随地访问

本地人，这是

参与

满足您的学习兴趣和

需求的定制课程的好方法 单击

描述框中的链接以下载应用程序并

开始第二个过程

寻找语言的另一个想法 交换

伙伴是联系当地的语言

学校，教你的语言 你

会惊讶于

周围教你语言的语言学校的数量

显然到处都有英语学校

，但如果你住在波兰

，可能有很多

学校教波兰语 对于

世界上任何其他地方的同一家公司的外国人

，那里的教师和组织者

可能迫切希望找到能够实践的人

与他们的学生

通过一封漂亮的介绍性电子邮件与他们联系，

让他们知道您说哪种语言

以及您希望练习什么您

永远不知道他们可能会让

您与母语为母语的人联系我

亲身经历过 我

在西班牙学习西班牙语，很多母语为

西班牙语的人会来

学校并留下他们的名字，

然后与母语为英语或

法语的人配对，如果双方

同意见面，我们会去

酒吧练习半小时 通常在晚上结束时用一种

语言和半小时另一种语言，

这

只是语言的混乱，

但它真的很有趣，所以我

强烈建议你尝试这种

方法，你甚至可以结交一些新

朋友 第三个可能被

认为有点争议，我

敦促你非常小心地这样做

第三个提示是在下面发表评论，

并尝试找到一个你不是志同道合的语言

伙伴 肯定会

在评论部分找到母语人士，

因为人们通常在这里

学习英语，但你可能会找到

一群志同道合的人，

他们都在努力说一口流利的英语

我知道很多人都组建了

Facebook 群组和 whatsapp团体

我只问你非常非常小心，

特别是如果你未满18岁，

如果你想尝试寻找

语言合作伙伴，那么你可以

在下面评论你的年龄，你

来自你的语言 说话和

你想要

练习的语言 我不想这么说，

但我会说这不是

找女朋友或

男朋友的机会 第四是尝试玩

电子游戏

另一位老师 我从没想过我会

推荐电子游戏，但是当我

在一所语言学校教书的时候，有

一个人说一口最可信的

美国英语，他从来没有去过

美国，我说你从哪里来

的口音和词汇 从

期望他说电影或电视节目

，他说现在玩很多视频游戏

都有语音聊天选项，如果

你加入特定的服务器，你可以

与你正在尝试学习的语言的人进行互动，

这是最好的

部分

没有人知道你是谁，所以你

不必害怕犯错，

也不必害怕

让自己难堪

，如果你无论如何都会玩游戏，

为什么不尝试将

练习英语融入你的爱好呢

？ 设法找到

非常有帮助的人 纠正

你的人 教你新短语的人

尝试更频繁地和

他们一起玩 无论如何他们都玩得很开心 你

不妨从互动中获得一些东西

技巧五是使用

网站 Meetup

所以 网站meetup 就是它在锡上所说

的它是一个人们举办

meetup 社交聚会的网站meetup 上的一个热门话题

是语言交流你

所要做的就是搜索语言交流

和您的城市或城镇，看看

在不久的将来

是否会发生什么如果没有任何事情发生，请尝试

自己设置一个，这

有点令人生畏，但

至少在您尝试之前您不知道这是一个

惊人的 有机会结识

来自

世界各地的许多人 我过去经常去伦敦进行语言

交流，我非常喜欢他们 我也

经常去侦察一些学生

，当我教

一个关于聚会的有趣故事时，我 去

伦敦的一个语言交流中心，

那里有一个面部画家在脸上

涂上闪光，所以我所有的朋友都

走了，在我上厕所的时候画了他们的脸

，当我

上厕所的时候，我收到一条消息说

不要 别忘了直接上去

画你的脸，所以我去了那里，

她说你想要什么，我说

我不认识西瓜，脸部

画家看着我说你想要一个

西瓜

我说是的，一个水手 我以为

看起来真的很可爱

我喜欢西瓜 这是我

最喜欢的水果之一所以她说

好吧 父亲脸上的国家，因为

那是

语言交流的重点，你脸上挂着你的

母语旗帜，但我有一个

人，每个人都来找我，

所以你来自哪里哦，就像

亲爱的你介意吗 这本来是个

玩笑，因为蜜露是个甜瓜，不，这

很尴尬

Facebook 上有很多群组，他们可能会

有点

不知所措 使用它是

一个大小组，但没有人真正

参与

在 Facebook 上寻找小型语言交流小组并加入

他们，如果没有任何看起来

合法的小组，你就开始自己的，看看

志同道合的人是否加入我曾经

在一个

当我开始我的频道时，有很多语言学习小组，我曾经在

那里分享我的视频，我很惊讶

这些小组中的人们有多么乐于助人，

他们可能并不都是母语人士，这些小组

中有很多非常有

成就的非

母语人士 它们

对任何有疑问或疑问的人都非常有帮助

，这就是今天的课程我

希望你喜欢它，我希望你

学到了一些东西不要忘记点击

描述框中的链接并

下载重新启动的 I 对讲机应用程序继续

在那里找到自己的私人导师

并找到自己的语言伙伴并

诚实地结合这两种工具这

是学习语言的好方法不要

忘记在我所有的

社交媒体上与我联系我有我的 facebook 我的

Instagram 和我的 Twitter，

我很快就会看到你的另一堂课，是的，

一点点，只是要制作

这个 Apple
