0:42not in english it's in a foreign
0:44language it's in their native language
0:48how do i learn english
0:52i was kind of surprised like
0:56but the thing is is this question keeps
0:58coming up and i was wondering today so i
1:01went on youtube and i said how to learn
1:04english and you know what
1:07none of the first videos are right
1:12they all assume that you know english
1:15which is crazy if you're trying to learn
1:18english you're not starting at the place
1:21where these videos tell you to start
1:24really odds are the odds are good that
1:28right now you don't understand what i'm
1:30saying hopefully you're using the
1:34translated into your native language and
1:37you can understand me that way because
1:40i'm going to tell you how to learn
1:41english and it's free it's free
1:44completely free you can google all of
1:46these resources i have them available
1:49for free there are other teachers who
1:51have them for free but here
1:53this post-it note seriously has
1:55everything you need to know to learn
1:59step one i'll put it maybe on the screen
2:05what type of english do you want to
2:09really that is the most important
2:12question do i want to speak american
2:15english do i want to speak british
2:17english south african english australian
2:20english new zealand english
2:22is that really a thing i think they
2:26would you just call it english i don't
2:28anyways you have to choose which one
2:33me personally i speak american english i
2:36have a very clear northern accent so you
2:39can hear everything i say
2:42but you have to decide what do you want
2:46cool once you make that decision you go
2:49to step two which was
2:52phonics it's the same in any language
2:55you must learn phonics but you must
2:58learn it for the language you chose
3:01british phonics and american phonics are
3:06they all have different sounds so that's
3:08why i said you must choose american
3:11english british english or a different
3:14so you you're going to learn phonics
3:17you're going to learn
3:18the initial sounds okay a b c d what do
3:22they sound like okay after you learn
3:24that you learn the short vowels don't do
3:28it in any other order learn the short
3:30vowels wow it's really hot in here today
3:364k you're going to see me sweating
3:40so you have to learn the short vowels
3:43okay once you learn the short vowel
3:45sounds you go to the long vowel sounds
3:48yeah the long vowel sounds now you've
3:52learned most of phonics right there now
3:54it's the tricky things right the two
3:57letter consonants that's what you learn
4:00after you've learned the vowels why
4:03because words with two-letter consonants
4:06have short vowels and long vowels
4:11after you've learned your two-letter
4:14consonants the fifth step is to learn
4:18long vowels for the weird ones like e e
4:22double o's that kind of stuff okay
4:26that's the last bit of phonics
4:29that's it's not so hard so far right i
4:31have a free phonics course i'll link it
4:33down below 70 video lessons you can
4:36learn american english only if you want
4:39to learn american english
4:41not if you want to learn british don't
4:43take it if you want to learn british
4:45english okay but i'll put the i'll put
4:47my videos down below but you can just
4:53and take these lessons they're all free
4:56pretty sure they're pretty sure they're
5:00after you've learned phonics the next
5:02step step three on my little list here
5:05is basic sentence patterns
5:09i'm not gonna say grammar don't learn
5:11grammar that is a huge
5:13mistake you know why grammar is hard
5:17really in america we don't really learn
5:20grammar until grade five
5:22yeah we already can speak english before
5:28so if you think about this
5:30your teachers they teach you grammar and
5:32you just can't seem to learn english why
5:36because backwards you don't learn
5:39grammar until you can speak english
5:42sounds sounds kind of weird right but
5:46look at children children can speak
5:48english and they've never heard of a
5:50noun or a pronoun or any of the
5:52complicated stuff like superlatives and
5:55well it's not really complicated but
5:57that kind of stuff they don't know what
5:59it is and you don't need to know it
6:06first you have to learn basic sentence
6:08patterns just like the child does they
6:11learn this is this that is that those
6:14are those i want this i like that
6:19cool that's what you have to learn these
6:21basic patterns why because even me who's
6:25fluent in english i still use these
6:28basic patterns every day
6:30these basic patterns make up most of the
6:36they make up most of the sentence
6:38structures that you will use
6:43that is step number three basic sentence
6:49once you've learned the basic sentence
6:51patterns guess what you can speak
6:54english you can read english you can
6:56kind of understand english
7:01it's not so complicated yet
7:04so number four what do we have to do now
7:06well now that we understand and know
7:09english basic english we have to improve
7:13now this is where all of those other how
7:15to learn english videos come in they say
7:17oh you have to learn reading and
7:21well if you haven't learned the
7:23foundation english yet you can't do it
7:26right it's kind of crazy
7:28step four is this foundation level
7:36now how do we do this
7:37i am a big proponent i say read reading
7:40is the greatest way to learn anything
7:43okay but especially english if you read
7:46books with dialogue with people talking
7:50you learn how to speak
7:52right maybe you don't speak but you
7:54learn what you're supposed to say
7:56okay cool so reading is super important
8:00right but what else let me look at my
8:02note here writing yeah writing we need
8:06writing we need to learn how to write
8:09down what we've just learned through
8:13we learn this but how do we improve our
8:16writing oh we learn vocabulary right
8:19that's the third thing we need
8:21cool so we've learned reading we're
8:24learning writing we're learning
8:27but that's not enough right we need to
8:30learn listening skills right we need to
8:32learn how to hear better
8:37now what goes along with this at the
8:38very end is speaking these are kind of
8:41one two three four five five skills
8:46main skills that we need to learn to
8:50english not learn english to improve
8:54very important everyone will say learn
8:57these five skills to speak english and
