The Teacher's Story: A Simple Plan for Success
The Teacher's Story: A Simple Plan for Success
Embedded Files
When I started learning English, I wasn't a fluent speaker. I know how challenging it can feel, but I also know that you don't need expensive classes or a rigid schedule to succeed.
I learned by using a simple, powerful routine:
I watched one video a day on YouTube.
I wrote down what I learned.
I practiced speaking what I wrote.
I did this consistently, and over time, I built my confidence and fluency. Now, I can say, I can speak English.
Now, It's Your Turn!
Now, It's Your Turn!
Choose a Video: Pick a video from the list below. Don't worry about understanding every single word—just focus on the new phrases or sounds you want to learn.
Actively Learn: Watch the video with a notebook and pen. Write down new words, phrases, or sentences that you find interesting or useful.
Practice: This is the most important step! Find a quiet place and practice saying what you've written down.
Try to mimic the pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation from the video.
Remember, every bit of practice counts. Just 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference in your speaking ability. You have the resources and the power to take control of your learning. Let’s start this journey together!
