hey what's up Stefanie the English coach here from EnglishFullTime.com

Present continuous

in this video we are going to talk about how you can improve your English alone

To-infinitive

from home in just three steps just three things you need to do to work on and

improve your English so if you're new to my channel welcome if you're not new hi

it's been a while has this been a rough year for you too or just for me this has

been one of the most challenging years for me personally and so I took a little

break from YouTube so thank you for your patience I'm back now I'm ready to make

more content I'm feeling much better than I have in a long time and the crazy

thing is everything that I've gone through this year that has been really

challenging has nothing to do with what's going on with the whole world

right now with the crazy virus and lockdowns and quarantines oh my goodness

I was already going through my own stuff before any of that happened so when that

happened I was like oh great so when it rains it pours let's go anyways I'm sure

you are spending lots of time at home right now like many of us and hopefully

you're taking advantage of this time to really work on your English so that's

why I decided to come back to my youtube channel with this video in particular ok

so again three things you need to do to work on your English alone at home and

by doing these things you're really gonna see some dramatic improvements now

I want to say a couple things first I've talked about two of these things before

but I haven't really discussed the other one yet so I'm excited to get into that

and the other thing is a lot of people don't progress in their English because

they are only doing one or two of these things that I am about to list so as

you're watching this video I just want you to analyze your own situation and

what you can improve in your own habits to get the results that you want to have

the first thing that you need to do in order to improve your English and we all

know this is input right you need to be listening to English watching stuff in

English reading in English okay doing these

things and you can do it in so many different ways I mean you guys we have

Netflix we have YouTube we have podcasts everything you can't imagine it is

easier than ever to access the English language and to hear how native speakers

speak so you can focus on one dialect like if you're really trying to learn

American English which I'm assuming you are since you're here on my channel and

I am from California then you can find youtubers who talk about things that you

are interested in they don't have to be English teachers just whatever topics

you like actually if you haven't done this already you should make a list of

your interests okay your interest your goals whatever it is that excites you

whatever you're trying to achieve in life and then you should consume content

that has to do with those things okay so don't force yourself to you know do

anything that you feel you have to do I know some people will read classic

novels in English because they feel that somehow that's really gonna help them

and classic novels if you're really not interested in classic literature they

can be quite boring so stick to stuff that is interesting for you when you

consume the material then it will be effortless it won't feel like a chore

you should be excited when you turn on your favorite podcast or when you go to

your favorite YouTube channel be excited and settle down into a couch or a chair

and we're go for a walk while you listen to something and so the other thing I

want to say about this is if you don't have certain types of content a certain

channels certain podcasts or whatever it is that are your go to that you love

then you should really spend some time searching and digging and finding

content that you like it's really worth it sometimes it can take a whole week to

find a channel that you really love or a podcast that you really love but again

by doing the digging by taking the time to find the content that you love to

find the types of movies that you love or a series that you love by investing

the time in that it's really going to make it a lot easier when

you settle down to actually input the English consume the English in the

various formats because you'll know oh I love this show I'm gonna go right to

that okay so for those of you who already know what types of movies you

like and series and books etc I want you to go ahead and list them in the

comments that way the people who are still trying to find content that they

like they can see your suggestions and hopefully find something that will be

interesting to them so just write what it is that you like if it's a book genre

or the title of a book or a series movie etc and why you like it and why you

recommend it okay so that's input and again I think we're all clear on what

input is and why it's important the next one is output right input and output so

output is speaking and writing it's communicating in the language when you

have input you're putting a bunch of English into your brain but then it has

to come out and a lot of people do not practice their output they don't use

English so everything stays in their brain and then when it comes time to use

the language they feel like oh my gosh I can't speak the words don't come out and

this is the reason why you have to practice the speaking until it becomes

effortless and in the beginning it might feel like I can't do anything but if you

consistently do it it will get easier we actually did this earlier this year and

the fluency breakthrough challenge this is a challenge that I lead twice a year

we're gonna do it again in July if you're interested and I will leave a

link in the description for you to get more information about it but basically

this challenge is all about output in English it's about helping you speak

English communicate in English write in English create content in English so you

can finally stop consuming so much English and actually learn really

creative ways to use the language to talk with other people to have

conversations etc and for those of you who did participate in the fluency

breakthrough challenge this year and last year I really hope you guys are

continuing the methods and the strategies that you learned because you

saw how it worked in the challenge and you

had really great results so just keep doing all of that and you'll keep

improving your results okay so the last thing you need to do to improve your

English and you can do this alone at home you don't need a teacher for this

is you need to actually study now I don't really talk very much about study

that's why I wanted to talk about it in this video but sometimes it's not enough

to just consume English and then speak English and write English like put it in

put it out or take it and put it out sometimes that's not enough because you

could be making the same mistakes over and over and over again and never really

fixing them or you might plateau you might feel like you know what I listen

to English all the time I speak English all the time I use the

language but I really don't feel like I'm improving and that's why it's

important to study but what am I talking about when I say study I don't mean just

saying oh my gosh I need to improve my grammar let me purchase a grammar

workbook and I'm gonna do the workbook and you know then I'll improve no that's

not what I'm talking about what I'm talking about is you analyzing your own

weaknesses you have to know what your weaknesses are and you shouldn't need a

teacher to tell you what they are right because when you get to a certain level
