Hey, James from www.engvid.com . Today's lesson, I want to teach you about Super Learning,

you know, from one of my favorite, well, not my favorite superhero, but my brother's and

a good friend of mine's superhero: Superman.

Because he does everything better than the average person.

Now, I'm not saying better than the average person, but to improve your ability to learn

or to, yeah, be better than the average person when they learn.

And you might say "Why is that important?

Learning English: the grammar, vocabulary, syntax, reading and writing, they're all great

The problem is when you're not able to learn on a constant basis and continually improve,

if you get bored and stagnant, you stop learning, you stop working, you give it up.

If I can give you some tools with which to improve and give you the ability to learn

faster, as you get it in faster and you learn, you will complete the goal that you started

for yourself, which was to learn English.

So, let's go to the board and do some Super Learning.

Super Learning, it's Mr. E with his big "S" on his chest, flying powerfully.

This lesson I'm giving to a guy named Joseph Alain Leconte, he's from Haiti, I was out

on the street one day and he came up and said "Hey, I watch your videos, thank you very

much!", and Alain - sorry, Joseph Alain, thank you very much for stopping to say hello.

I always appreciate it and I love the support that you guys give.

But let me get to the board and get to the lesson, that's why you're here.

So, we're going to go one, two, three, four, five, six, seven different things or exercises

I can give you to help you become a Super Learner.

Super Learning isn't anything special, it's basically doing not just your best, that's

one thing, it's maximizing your potential, and what I mean by - you have a line that

you start at, and here's what you can possibly do.

When we do Super Learning, we actually go up here and learn as much as we can actually

And it's surprising how much you can take in and how much you can use to become better

in a short period of time if you're given certain tools, and I'm going to give you a

One of the first things is there's Mr. E with a megaphone, he's speaking out.

If it's written material, say it out loud.

Well, when you read it, read it, that's using your vision, okay?

There are three ways learn, there are actually more, but three basic ones people are taught

in teachers' colleges that most students use to learn.

One is visual, with your eye, one is auditory with your ear, and the other kinesthetic,

That's why, in school, you'll notice teachers write on a board, you look at it, then they

speak, you listen, then you write down information.

By doing those three, you can keep up to 80% of the information, alright?

And also, repetition and a few other things.

But there's the things that help you learn.

A lot of people have things that they're better at, so some people are better at listening

than they are at understanding information when it's written, or when they do it, they're

confused, but if you explain it to them, they're like "Oh, I get it, I can do that."

Same with some people, they need to see it, you demonstrate it, they can understand, but

if you say it to them or make them do it, they don't, okay?

So, there's two of the three, and obviously number three, the kinesthetic, if they do

it, they understand much better than if you write it on the board or explain it.

So, why am I telling you "If it's written, say it"?

Well remember, I said if all three are combined you learn better?

So, if something's written down, one of the better ways to understand it is to say it

out loud because when it's written, you're using your visual.

When you say it out loud, that's right, your auditory comes in.

It's another component, so it means more of your brain has to be used to absorb the information.

Because you read it and then you say it, you're repeating it to make it go deeper, so it's

not just one time, I'm finished, it's one, "How are you today?"

That's right, you've listened, you've watched, but you've done the third one by accident,

by opening your mouth, you're using kinesthetic: "How are you today?"

You've looked at it, you've said it, you've heard yourself, three repetitions for one

Some people will read it once, by doing that alone, you're doing it three times, so you

can see, you can learn three times as quickly.

That's why we call it Super Learning, taking what you have and maximizing your potential.

Also, when you're saying it out loud, it gives your brain the opportunity to critique or

look at that information, because you're saying it, does it make sense to you?

When you're looking it down, you might say "I don't understand", or understand and it

When you say, "Does this sentence even work?", cool?

Next: If it's spoken material, write it down.

It is the same in that we are using more senses to learn it, but when something's spoken,

So, the added bonus to writing it down is you have notes to remind you so you can look

But, one of the important things about writing it down is it's a motor skill that forces

your body to go through, once again, we're going to kinesthetic movement, forcing the

brain to work because you're taking sound and you're interpreting it into a - I would

say, visual medium, so then you've got the kinesthetic writing it, then it's the looking

at it, because I've never met anyone who writes like this.

So, when you're in a lecture hall, most students do this naturally.
