Hey welcome to Let’s Talk, well here we are, of course you have met Michelle before

and you have watched her wonderful lessons _and so have you watched her wonderful lessons

and you know that she is Niharika, _and here we are here together today, so we thought

that why not come together and have a video for all of you guys _I think we should tell

them why we decided to make this video _yes _so the other day we were having a coffee

together and we were just going through our comments and we saw how people are really

coming up with this request that we shoot a video together, so we were like why not?

Let’s just do it, _absolutely _you know _absolutely. So we thought that let’s just

start with ‘how to learn English?’ because there are so many people who come up to us

and they are like, ‘okay how do we just start learning English, how do we go about

it? So we thought that yes why not help our people to learn English. _Yeah and they also

wonder you know, how could we improve? How could we get better? And here we are, I think

we have listed quite a few ideas together that we brain stormed, and we have come up

with few suggestions for you all. _Yes, so we have ten simple steps for you, to learn

English _yeah _and we’re gonna start with something very, very simple which is think

in English, what do you think about that Michelle? _Yeah I think, ‘thinking in English’ is

pretty important because it helps your fluency and restricts your mother tongue, _Exactly,

_what do you guys think about it? _So you know what happens very often is, a lot of

people when they try to learn a new language, _yeah, _and they feel that, you know it is

so tough learning a new language, _yeah, _you know it’s not the language, _yeah, _I really

feel that it’s because they think in their native language, so when you think, _ya sure,

_i your native language, and then you try to speak English, ta-da, that’s the mistake

that you do. _yeah, yeah, yeah… _So people spend a lot of time in translating, so even

like native speakers if incase if they are rally fluent with two different languages

and they end up thinking in a different language and speak in different language, even they

get stuck, so I’m sure it’s very difficult for the learners as well. So what I really,

really believe in is that you need to start thinking in English. _Hmm, _So maybe what

you can do is, you know say for example, you are planning your day, _Hmm, _o when you are

planning your day, _Yeah, _why not think in English, right? _absolutely, for your daily

routine, _umm, yes or maybe you are in a restaurant, trying to order some food, wondering what

to eat, so when you are thinking about the food, the different dishes, _yeah, yeah…

_that you’ve ordered, so why not think that in English. Yeah, I mean, I think your first

step should be just to think in English and you know not at all go there to that zone

where you think in your mother tongue, I mean there should be kind of a restriction or barrier

in your mind in thinking in your mother tongue when it comes to talking in English, but otherwise

it’s a great idea to use your mother tongue as long as you’re conversing with people

cannot talk English, _yes, _that’s what I was saying, I think it’s a very good point

there, _so people, make sure that you start thinking in English, _yeah, so she’s made

a very good point there and now that she is talking about thinking, I think we should

also talk about talking, you know because that’s the next step, so when you think,

then you talk, so talking to yourself, how about that? _yeah, _So quite often it happens

that you know that we really don’t get people to talk to in English, and quite a few of

my students who’ve come up to me and told me, I don’t really get anybody to talk to

me in English, coz everyone around me, you know, speaks in my native language and I go

like, yeah that’s quite possible problem _yeah, _and we need a real solution for this.

So my suggestion for such a problem is that why don’t you talk to yourself in English,

yeah, I mean, I know that sound a bit crazy, but then yeah, like, I mean, what you could

do is you could just plan like 2-3 minutes long conversation and you could go in front

of the mirror, you know and talk to yourself, and look at how you appear when you talk in

English, and this is not regarding your appearance, _yes, _this is more about your body language

because when you try and speak a language, you are not just you know communicating, it’s

your body language, you know the verbal and the non-verbal coming together, so I think

it’s a good idea you know to plan an introduction about yourself, like, who you are, where you

come from, what’s your profession, you know and going in front of the mirror and go like,

‘Hi, my name is Josh and you know and I’m from so and so country and my profession is,

I’m a teacher, I’m a blog writer, and etc., etc. So I think that’s a good way

to start talking in English, _it does, _when you don’t have someone around you, yeah,

_it builds your confidence, _yeah it does, _it does. So what’s the next thing that

would really help you in learning English? Well I feel that, one should work in their

fluency and not really focus on grammar, what do you think Michelle? _I think that’s a

great idea because grammar is so boring, I mean whenever I think of to a pronoun it turns

me off, _absolutely, well do you think, people are gonna ask you that, hey can you define

what’s a pronoun or what’s a noun? _No I don’t think they would any day and I don’t

think it’s important for communication either. _Absolutely, so what we totally believe in

is fluency, _Um-hmm, _and not focusing on grammar. _yeah that makes sense. _yeah, well

you know when it comes to fluency, you need to pay attention on your communication _hmm

_skills _yeah _It’s not really grammar, of course grammar is gonna help you when you

wanna write good English, _yeah, yeah, yeah… _but when it comes to communicating with people,

_Um-hmm, _I really feel that it’s your fluency and not grammar, _yeah absolutely coz fluency

kind of includes your vocabulary as well, so if your grammar goes wrong it’s perfectly

fine but, if you don’t have the words, you are at loss, because you don’t know what

to say, _right. _I think you made a wonderful point there. _So when people think that you

know you have to work on your grammar, and not your fluency, well they are absolutely

wrong, because when you end up thinking, Oh my god, am I going correct? Am I saying the

right tense? And that is when you start stammering or that is when you get stuck, _yeah _while

you’re, _yeah, _communicating, so, well yes, grammar is important, _it is, _but what

I believe is, your focus should not be on grammar but more on _fluency, _fluency, yes.

_Fluency, absolutely right, and you know that takes me to another point coz as she said

that grammar is not so important but fluency is, the same way quite a few people are saying

that pronunciation is not important, okay? But I don’t really agree with that, coz

the way you speak, is very important, for another person to understand what exactly

you are saying, _yes, very true. _isn’t it? _So _very true, _So if I end up pronouncing

a word wrong here, she may not be able to understand what that is, _yeah, I’ll be

like, um, okay… _yeah, so for example we have the word ‘address’ & ‘address’

okay, so these are two different words and address is like a verb which means when you

introduce somebody in a speech or in a gathering, and address is the place where you live, which

is a noun, so just with my pronunciation, I can make a whole lot of difference with

the way my message, you know, with people to understand, _very true, very true, _ what

I’m trying to say, so, but problem here is that pronunciations gets very boring sometimes,

you know and people are like, how do I make all these you know proper gestures and how

do I put my tongue in the right place, and my mouth on the right place, to speak the

right thing, so for that I got a very interesting thing here, If you want to learn pronunciation,

I think tongue twisters are great idea, yeah? Coz they are lot of fun, you know and you

don’t have to think about where you need to put your tongue because you can twist it

the way you want so for that Niharika, you are in for a challenge, _okay… _yeah, I

have something written with me, because I can’t remember it, so I’ve just written

it down, but you are going to face the brunt of it. So I’m gonna speak a tongue twister

and I’ll ask you to repeat that, okay? _Okay, I’m gonna try, _So, yeah, let me try this,

listen to carefully, okay? And yeah you can try that as well, please and I’ll be glad

if you could do that, so “the thirty-three thieves thought that they thrilled the throne
