and in this video we're going to talk about what you can do

if you are too busy to learn english,

so keep watching!

Over the years, I have taught many many

English learners English. This has been in language schools

one to one lessons and in different ways as well.

Now, some learners like to do their homework

others don't do it - and the number one reason

or the number one excuse I hear when someone hasn't done their homework

is that they are too busy. Maybe you have said this too.

Maybe you have said "I'm too busy to learn English."

Now, in the majority of these cases,

it's not that you're too busy - it's just that you have

other priorities. Now, this is not right or wrong

sometimes other priorities are more important.

but it's good to be aware that there are

other things involved when it comes to learning English.

For example, one student I had preferred to play sports.

She preferred to do sports all the time instead of learning English,

and she was aware that sports

were a higher priority than learning English.

So, the first thing to be aware of

and to think about is your priorities.

Is learning English high on your list

of priorities? And if not, can you make it more

of a priority?

But what if you are really really busy?

And you're working all day; you have to look after family;

you have to do lots of other things too? What if you really don't have time to

learn English?

What if you can't say, "For one hour today I'm going to learn English"?

Well,

you could introduce more English and listen to English,

read English, and generally do things in English

while doing other things - A great example of this

is when you're on your way to work, if you're on a train

in the car on your bike or walking, you can listen to English while you're on

your way to work.

Additionally, many people can also listen to English music

while they are working. So think about ways you can introduce more English

into your life even if you are really really busy.

But also, as I said before, think about your priorities.

Now, if you really enjoy watching television,

then watch television in English.

In fact, try to think about all the things that you do now

in your native language but do them

in English instead. One last thing: One

is better than zero - what I mean by this

is if you can only do one minute of learning English

then do that one minute - don't think it has to be one hour

or nothing - if you can only do five minutes, ten minutes, fifteen minutes

do it in English. Now the question for this video

is this: What tips do you have

for those people who say they are too busy to learn English?
