1. Speak like a native intro HD 720p MEDIUM FR30: What is the key to learning English roster? Well, the answer is very soon. Practice. Hi, my name is Victoria chicken running and I've been teaching English for over 21. I hold a bachelor's degree in teaching English as a foreign language, and a master's degree in cultural management from London South Bank University. Here are a few facts about my work. Over the years. I've worked with lots of big international companies. My students come from 12th different countries, wider, few of them got a new job abroad or entered the world's top universities. This course is for everyone who wants to speak English more naturally and understand natives because better, the cost will help you to enrich your vocabulary with phrasal verbs, idioms, and conversational phrases used by native speakers in business and in formal situations. Learn about why we tend to forget new words and how to learn new vocabulary in a more effective way. At the beginning of this video, I said that practice is key. And in this course, you will learn about important types of practice that guarantee fast progress. As part of your course, you will have 50 video card with phrases, explanations, pronunciation, and examples. Last, some practical exercises to help you understand the context for each phrase better. You will also have practical tasks that help retain newly learned phrases in your memory better. And an Instagram blog with frequently used conversational vocabulary with examples. Here's what my students say about my courses. I'm looking forward to sharing my course with you. Thank you for watching and have a nice day. 2. Speak like a native Instructions HD 720p MEDIUM FR30: The best way to do the course is to watch the lectures about the Ebbinghaus methods and practical tips on how to train vocabulary before proceeding to vocabulary learning. Once you are finished with the lectures, you are ready to learn the course vocabulary. You will find the links to the phrases of the course. In the resource section of lecture six, the vocabulary is divided into five groups for your convenience. Start with group one, following all practical tips described in the lectures, and move on to the next group. When you feel you're ready to. With practice, you will see which are the tips work best for you. Say, some learners find it easier to think of micro dialogues, while others prefer making up short stories. Plan your spaced intervals and do regular reviews to reinforce retention. You will find practical exercises in downloadable materials section of lecture six. You may use them at any stage. However, the best result will be achieved if you work on creating contexts prior to doing the exercises. 3. Speak like a native Creating Emotional Context Full HD 1080p MEDIUM FR30: Research clearly shows that memory is linked with emotions are stronger. Say, you drive home from work every day using the same route. So you almost do it on autopilot. If I asked you to describe the car had ten minutes before you parked in your driveway two days ago, would you recall the color and Moodle? Let's add up emotional context to the same scenario. You're driving home and the car cuts you off minutes before you parked in your driveway. Would you recall colour model then? Remember, memories linked with emotions are stronger because emotion increases attention. When you work on memorizing vocabulary. Use scenarios that trigger your emotions. 4. Speak like a native Task1 Create Scenarios Full HD 1080p MEDIUM FR30: Reading contexts, scenarios. Listened to the first group of phrases, and think of different situations when you might use this phrases. Example, the phrase to work out. Imagine you have a project that is really important to you. You have been working very hard to get it done. So you think, I hope it will all work out. Example to the phrase to do the trick. Imagine you've made better for pancakes, but it looks a bit too liquid. So you think a bit more flour should do the trick. 5. Speak like a native Task2 Create Associations Full HD 1080p MEDIUM FR30: Associate each phrase you're working on with real people and situations from your social circle. Say you're learning the phrase to keep someone on their toes. So think of someone who's got a job or responsibilities that keep them on his or her toes and formulate your sentence. Emma's newborn twins, keep your eye on her toes. 6. Speak like a native Task3 Create Dialogues Full HD 1080p MEDIUM FR30: Include each phrase that you are learning into a micro dialogue. Example.
