1. Introduction to Speaking Strategies: Hello everyone. I'm Coach Stef, and I'm from Lima, Peru. Okay, I love learning languages. I speak Spanish. My second language is English, and I also speak French, German, and currently learning Russian. I also know the writing systems for Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin Chinese because I love writing systems. Definitely, they're going to be my net languages. I've been teaching so many people to learn languages in a fun way. I just can't wait for you to be also that person that gets this. This class is actually created for travelers experts. Any person that is actually learning a language. Any person that is actually learning from textbooks or apps, or courses, or flash cards, any method that you like. But that is not getting your results in terms of speaking abilities. Speaking skills, okay. Because that is very important. That is one of our goals, right? To speak, to have a conversation with native. If that is your weakest skill, then this class is definitely for you. If you're getting started like you haven't stopped anything just yet. With this language is still a very good course to have. You can get there from the beginning and to add speaking activities from day one. It's going to help you a lot. You don't take years in this. Now, if you're going to see in the structure in this class, it's a very practical, I just put there one of the best strategies that I teach all over the war from so many people. And I condense it in these practical steps that you can actually implement. You're going to see steps and strategies in the project class. You're going to be picking a strategy that actually fits your lifestyle, your way of learning. Yes, your learning style. You're just going to pick one and implement. This is not a class that you can watch and see, oh, I learned a ton. I just posted what strategy and what other tools that I'm going to share with you are going to use. You're going to share what you're going to use and you're going to start using it after this course. You're going to have so many tools and resources so you can get there, you can speak.

Okay, see you in the first lesson. Bye bye. 2. Practice your language TODAY: Hello everyone. It's me. It's Coach Step. Now, I want you to picture something. I want to imagine that you're at work. Then suddenly there's an offer available for you. And they're saying for this role, which in this case is your role, there's an opening for the job. But you, let's say for this example it's Polish. We need someone that can actually speak Polish because the the team are Polish and they're going to speak Polish during the meetings at work. For you to say, yes, I have the years of experience about Polish, I don't have any certification that proves that I'm this level, but I can speak comfortably in Polish. Yes, I'm you see that? Let me say that there's many, many jobs that if you prove during an interview that you can speak you're in, you don't really need a certification. My point is, will you be able to say that? Because that's my goal. My goal is not for you to pass or yes, I am two and Polish. But to be able to have that confidence, to be able to be conversational, to speak any language that you want. That's what I want for you and for me. Okay. I love languages. I'm sure you as well you love it. I know it. That's my goal. That's my goal. I know. That's your goal to you want to speak, you want to be conversational. You want to be able to watch TV show and understand like okay, I can't speak grammar perfect, but I can't speak. I can understand. And I can just go to the country or work with native speakers and be just fine. That's what we all want. If you're not doing anything today for your language, please do an example. I just watch. So entirely in French then I really like small interviews in Japanese. And then just now, what's this book called? My goodness, I was reading in German. I don't remember the title of the book, My goodness, But that's the point. Okay. Even if you don't remember the title of the books, you're going to just review vocabulary, right? Even if you don't understand anything of what you watch, you're still going to practice your listening. And believe me, it's going to show, okay? Just do anything right now. Take later. 3. STEP 1 WHAT YOU NEED TO SPEAK: Hello and welcome. Okay. Are you clear with what language do you want to speak? Let's say for now is French. Okay, What do you need? This video is about the things you need to start speaking French. Because you have to speak French, you're going to speak French. I can guarantee you. First thing, you need a book, okay? Just a simple book. Very simple. Simple a pen. Well, this can be tricky and based on your taste, it can be like a novel, a short story, or a graded reader. But in French, actually highly recommend a graded reader. That is really going to give you more facility to speak, facility to read, to actually motivate you to finish it. A graded reader, if any novel that you want story, first you have your book, your pen. Then you have your graded reader in French. Then the next thing you need a language partner. Hugely important content, a platform that you can see a TV show or a movie, or a blogger in French all the time. That's the things you need and that's it. Only with that you're going to speak it. You don't need to find the perfect. Just I said you have your notebook and your pen. You have your graded reader. In my case, for example, it could be like Lupe. That's perfect. It's not a graded reader, but it is a novel, very short and very easy to read. Or it can be the short stories by all the reachers. Those are a good one to book your noble graded reader Your content. You really need content because you need to listen a lot. It's a TV show. Perfect. That's better than a film. Because a TV show you get used to each accents or the vocabulary in the episodes have some shared vocabulary that's going to improve your vocabulary as well. Since you're going to get to know the characters, everything is going to be also easier for you to understand as long as you are. For example, season one, maybe you struggle a lot. Season two, you're getting the idea. Season three, you're getting this right better than a film. I suggest a TV show, but any content is fine. Lastly, of course, your language. You need a language partner. I mean, it's not mandatory, but it's ideal because in this not book, you're going to write a lot of sentences. You want those sentences to be correct. Right, to be right. And even better if they had some slang, you sound more natural. That only can happen with the native speaker. That's it. That's everything you need in order to speak. Don't look further. Don't just Google what is better bubble or bus to ling the greatest up to get there. Now just cling and just get these resources. That's all you need to know, speak. 4. STEP 2 PICK A DAY TO SPEAK: Hey, okay, this is the most important video, step two. Now I really want you to commit to this. Really commit, okay? Because if you want to speak, you really need to follow this step by step point by 0.0 Treat it as a challenge. You just want something to boost your motivation, okay? But commit to this. From now on you're going to speak that language. And just for saying more quick, let's say Russian this time, okay? Now, you're going to speak Russian on Fridays. Yes. No matter your language level in Russian, even if you are a completely beginner, I don't know. I feel like an two. I'm waiting for being a B one or B two to speak Friday. You speak that language? Yes or yes? All right. Yes, yes. There's no gray in here. It's just white. All right? But then again, it's no black or white in your commitment. But the day can definitely change depending on your schedule. That's something that only, you know, weekends. More convenient for you than weekends? It is. If Monday is more convenient to you, Monday it is. Okay. I just want you to pick a day at least once a week. Okay? If you can do it. Perfect. But it can't be zero. It can be one week and the other week. Okay. At least one day per week. Okay, Perfect. Now that you know that you're going to notice when that day arrives, let's say Friday, that even if you're a two, you can understand a lot, but you're going to say things more slowly or you're going to say things. I know that it's the tip of my tongue, right? I remember it, but I don't know why it's not coming to me. But I know that word, I really know it. I hear it all the time. It doesn't come out. Well, it doesn't come out because you don't speak it. You don't say that word frequently, you hear it. But the more you speak, it's going to come up really naturally. All right? So you're going to notice that as of right now. I just want you to notice that. Okay. Don't say I knew it. This is not for me. I'm not in the level to speak just yet. I quit this. I don't want to do this anymore. I just go back to I don't know that. Speak up. No, it's perfect. It's perfect if you have this vocabulary lanes awareness. Okay. If you notice that you can't really speak. If you're missed in a ton of vocabulary, that is the best thing that can happen because you're going to notice your gaps, okay? That's when the notebook gets in, okay? For example, I show you this as an example of a notebook, but I want to show you this one this time because this actually has content that is going to help you know what kind of things you're going to write in your notebook. Okay, let's get this straight. You pick a day. That day, you're committing to only speak Russian, okay? Now you're just going to notice, notice you say daily what things you say, okay? Then you're going to notice some words, some vocabulary that you don't know or you don't remember easily. You remember after a minute or after 5 minutes, then you remember that is something that you might want to speak more often, it comes in seconds. Again, the things that you're noticing, you write it here. You write it in your native language, for example, if you don't know how to say something, you write that phrase. It's better if it's a phrase, another word. But if it's a word, it can also like write it in English. And then with a different color or the same color, how it works for you, you write it in Russian. In this case, you have what you constantly say and a translation. You're going to notice when a week pass by that you're not going to need as much and you're going to remember because what you're writing here is not a vocabulary that you need for a specific TV show or for anything. It's your daily vocabulary because it's something you say daily. You're going to remember more often, maybe the second day you're going to say, I remember how is this? Oh yes, it was this the day maybe you're going through the same. Oh yes, it was this, the Fay maybe? Yes, it was this. Then the fifth day, you don't even get a second in here. Just say it right, You're going to see improvement so much faster. Okay, in the next video, I'm going to show you the content of this, just to give you an example, because I don't want you to keep wondering what write, even though I already told you what to write. Just notice what you say daily. What you struggle to write it here and then write your translation. That's where your native speaker friend, it's just comply in this stage because it's going to help you with the translations. Because if you just use Google translation, it may not be really truthful to the language or may sound weird to a native. But this week, if you don't have a language partner just yet, just notice what you struggle to say and write it down in English. Then you can try to translate it in your target language. You can use Google Translator as a help or Del.com as a help. That is going to come really handy. But afterwards, when you do get language partner, you can say, hey, I got this phrase. I don't know how to say. I think it says like this. Can you verify if that's correct or even at son's lang. So it sounds more natural, right? But right now, just focus on noticing on that day what things you say, what things you can say. Write it here in English. Try to put how it will be in your target language, in this simple Russian. And then in the next video, I'm going to open this and show you, for example, what things I wrote. Okay, bye bye. 5. STEP 3 NOTEBOOK: The notebook. Okay. This time I was going to show you what, since this notebook, right? And you're going to see I start with numbers, I start with numbers, and then colors. I include some phrases about colors. Like, for example, I have here, this is red. Even have some things that I need to use. For example, I'm wearing a red shirt. Then I go with more colors. And then my favorite color is, or I like this color, because I assume I'm going to need to use those phrases again, I saw numbers, it's just basic numbers and then colors. Then I go again more examples for colors like the koala is gray, the wardrobe is brown. Then I have parts of actual here using blue and black. If you see with black, I have the English in blue, I the French parts of the body. And then examples of what I have like I have black hair and I have black eyes, I have brown hair, She has a long neck. That actually help me when I was reading Harry Potter, to know that, you know what? This kind of vocabulary seemed a little bit irrelevant a long time ago like I was like Indo lingo. You have all these lessons, right? Like I never going to use that one and you go straight to the ones you actually care. But since I have a toddler, I realized how that is not true. I have a toddler and now this vocabulary is so useful for me. She loves this vocabulary, like she loves counting. She's toddler, I really using this B with hair as well, so she can actually learn French with me. It's great because she likes like putting toys around like she has little balls. Say oh, what color is this French? And she's like, is this color this color? I also review the colors with hair that way. It's great. Again, you have the numbers, colors, parts of the body, all of them with yes vocabulary. But as samples then I have days of the week, months of the year. It's always important because for example, with my Toller we always have like this like a board, which day is it of the week And she picks it also with a rotation to pick also the months of the year. Because she's a toler, she should have an orientation where she is to love those parts. When I I speak with her in Spanish, I speak with her in English. And then when I spoke with her in French, even though I could speak very good French like OMG, I don't remember how they say a Wednesday or August in French because they don't use it as much and I it's not something that I've listened a lot in Port. Be sure Now ones how can I know this since this is a basic vocabulary basic to know when I put this, I also put months of the year because I have a toddler now when she asks now I'm going to say it's then I have floss. Very important, especially with her. I put little phrases in there as well. Like I'm wearing, I'm wearing sandals and what is this or what is it then the house, because it's very important. Then I have of course, little phrases like open the window, open the curtain, please close the door of the bathroom, right? Then the furniture in the house. And then to say, yeah, I'm on the sofa, the hair is next to the table there. Then you have objects in the house, then the kitchen, then the bathroom. More examples like wash your hands, flush the toilet. Right. And then I have vegetables, sun meat, salty food, sweet foods have farm animals. Wild animals. And this is hugely important for me because she, being a toddler, she has like tons of animals. As for toys, like she has a whole farm. Then again, I don't know how to say that, sheep or goat in French. Then I notice I need animal vocabulary, right? Also too much noise. See animals important then family members, which is great, great. Also one advice that I can give you is if you can just Google, for example, I didn't write everything that I thought I was going to need and then Google Translate everything. That's too boring, isn't it? I mean, it could be great, but for me, it was easier to do this the first day. I was thinking, okay, I need a lot of vocoder to speak with my Toler around so I can practice with car to because I pick Fs weekend because that's the day I can spend most of the time with my family, with my toddler. I wanted her to also learn French, For me to practice French speaking French, so it was a big deal. I start with, I need to know the numbers first because she loves counting. That's something that she can do playing and at the same time learning so she can passively and actively learn French because she just, she's playing, that's great. It's just going to be a reinforce. What I did is searching Google numbers on French. That's it. Then the girl was speaking and I was taking notes. And the same colors, like color lessons French. That is way more fun. If you're lucky, that person on Youtube, besides vocabulary, also give you phrases so you don't have to translate those either. It's great because even you get to know more bloggers in your target language. That's great. I needed to complete my whole notebook. Right then we have the bathroom, the salty food, the fruits, because she sometimes ask me what is what I'm eating. It's a weekend where I speak solely in French. I need to know that. I also need to know things like, yeah, I don't know how to say that, but in Spanish it says like that because I already spoke French. But the little things, it's good to know. I never knew how to say like a grape in French because I never heard people. Then I have the jobs, which is important. When I explain to my children what her mommy does, her Daddy grandma, her aunt. Then we have the bathroom. Then I had one that I just call every day, expressions, the things I just noticed. Again, you have to notice what you say. I said during the whole day when my toddler is listening, but what I say in my native language, I booked those. Also, my everyday expressions like since I pretty much say all the time, because you're going to notice that every day you say a lot of things, you use the same vocabulary, which is bizarre. But it's true? Yes, that's how I put it. Then I put in everyday expressions, developing categories. If you don't want to do that, that's okay. I find it easier when it's eating time. She asked me a lot of things and we discuss different things. I just go to this part. If I forget to say something, I put time to eat. I say like, Mom time to eat. When I say, let's gather to sit down, to sit down to eat like let's drink water Which is a reminder that I always say to my daughter, I need to say that let's drink water or drink water like imperative direct drink water or do you sit down or should I come with you? Like that's a classic with a towler. Sometimes you have to give her two options. Two options that are related to her sitting down. Right. Like not long to finish the meal. Right? Use paper towel to clean it up. Sit still. That's something we always use. Is the food too hot? It's delicious, tasty. Yeah. Do you like it? Do you want more water? Right. The small things like stool, share, say thank you. Is the food, is the full too hot? I always say during lunchtime, then I have like Mr. Lani Linus ready. Do I count? Or you count something, we always say, or what a mess. Let's tidy up quickly. Put away your toys. Say, pick up all your toys, like, oh, I'm going to hide, Hide something when we play. I didn't knew how to say that in French, like do you want to draw paint? Like that's something she usually does. What do you want to do? You must wash your hands first. Brush your teeth. I'll close the coptains. Close the coptains, please. Let's go to your therapy lessons. That's something that Tollers do those days like nowadays, everything is therapy. Isn't it now me or is it my turn? It's your turn, Yes. Let's try your hair with a hair dryer, it's not going to hurt. Say thank you, leave it in the sink. That's something we usually say. I'll turn off the TV, I'm going to put water. In your terms, is it delicious, is it yummy, tasty? I bought a lot of books. Do you want to go to buy books? It was not my intention to hurt you. It's something that we always teach her to say and to apologize, even if it was accidentally very good to told her that and then it suits you well. Are you going to the office? And it's something more for her daddy, and she needs to know how to say that. Oh, sorry. Did I wake you up? I hope you're okay. How was your day? Right. Can you describe me your day? Can I help you? I'll write you later. I woke up. Your dad wakes up too late. On my laptop. I have hiccup. Right. Just miss things. You're going to notice what kind of things you say every day. If you have a toddler like me, she's going to be a great motivation for you to start doing this notebook, Okay? Because most of the time your family around you don't really care like your fiance. Hey, I want to speak French all day about this. He's not going to care your toddler. She's all in and she might not even know you're doing that. If you have a toddler, this's perfect. And it's going to be a great motivation because she's learning with you and it's amazing. But if not, I have a free document that I share with the practical strategist to speak that is going to give you a lot of ideas of how can you practice if not with your total. But this is it. That's how I fill up my notebook. It's easy just take one day notice. What is it that you say? Take notes and then think about it. And then just Google on Youtube. There are a lot of lessons there. If not, you can always use Google Translate or Deep, or your own knowledge, then go to an active speaker if you didn't find any tuber. Because with a Youtube, you already know that what she's saying is correct. If you're doing with your own knowledge, it might be correct, it might be almost correct, or it might be wrong. Right. It might be right, but not natural. It's always good either from Youtube or a native speaker. You can fill it up and then you can practice all day and then the next day coming, and then you have something. If you forget, that's it, bye bye. 6. Multilingual Child Strategies: Okay. What we're going to do now is that I'm going to talk about the strategies that bilingual childs, even more the parents do for their child to be bilingual or multilingual. Okay? These strategies are amazing. You may have heard of Paul that very popular, right? But let's get into this really deep. I'm going to post a video about each one of the strategies. Just watch it, don't worry, because I'm going to connect the dots at the end. Just watch each strategy. What is it about then? I'm going to share with you which strategy you're going to use and how you're going to use it. But since I'm posting about each strategy, you can of course, do some like twitching and stuff and you just make it your own. You can come up with your own strategy. But for now I'm just going to post about each strategy. Then I'm going to connect the dots and share with you which one you're going to use. Okay, stay tuned. Be really focused. Listen carefully, but then don't get overwhelmed. Okay, I'm going to connect the dots. Okay, let's get into it. 7. Activity Based Strategy: Now we're talking about the activity based strategy. Now some actually relates to the time strategy because when you do a specific thing at a time, but it's more related to the activity itself. For example, a lot of people do this in a gaming community. When they play with a game, they change the settings to the language they're learning every time. Play around with that game, casually or real. It's just in that language. They don't just play in their native, they play in the target language. When I say target language, the language they're learning, right, That's one way to go. If you have no affinity for games at all, that's okay, because there's a lot of activities you can do. This is activity based strategy. Actually, you can do this with an activity. I don't mean like a game board or a video game or anything like that, right? Because people do it a lot with games, even if it's just cards, they do it with cards. But it can be for any activity. For example, when you take a B, every time you're already preparing the things to take a bath. You know that once you're in the shower, you're going to sink or speak in that language because that's an activity. Taking a shower, that's an activity. It's just for giving you an example. That doesn't have to be activity like reading, gaming, any activity. It's just up to your imagination. That's one example. The other one is, for example, when you watch TV, that's an activity. Every time you watch TV, you stop doing that in English, let's say if that's your native, you start doing that. I don't know Ukrainian language. It's a to come up with one when I have still coming right now at me. I think I already mentioned that language. Let's say Hindi. Right now you're watching your TV on, in D, and that's it. Every time you turn on the V, you know that you're going to watch a show or maybe the news in Indi. You want to re see the TVdiaink show, can I watch in India? Relate that to talk language. It's any activity that you do. Activity based strategy. I think it's self explanatory as well. Just any activity that you want from now on that activity, it's only in your target language, right? You can stop doing that in your native because like from now on, that activity is going to be strongly related to the language you want to learn. Okay, that was activity based strategy. See later. 8. Place Strategy: Now let's talk about place strategy. This is self explanatory as well. In this sign language, it's separated by the room. For example, you're at home and you speak a different language depending on which room of the home you are. For example, when you're in the kitchen, you speak Portuguese when you're in the living room, you speak English when you're in the dining room, in the dining room, you speak Polish. And when you're in your bedroom, you speak Russian, for example. Just like that. That is a bit weird, but some people actually do that by strategy. It doesn't have to be like you have to put different language in each, maybe to just speak one. For example, at home you speak English, but every time you go to your study room, then you switch to Portuguese. Right? You speak at home with your family in your native language. You speak good. Then you go to your study room, you're on your own, and then you can speak Portuguese freely every time you are just drinking water here in your living room. And then you go to your study room, then you switch to Portuguese when you, when you speak with yourself, while you study. It doesn't mean your study room for studying that language. It's just a room. I don't mean activity. I mean the room, even if you go to the study room to just pick something, something that you're not staying in a room. Brief moment you're in there, you start thinking in Portuguese, that's the point. That is a room dedicated for that, it makes you think right in that language. You create a habit on that. Now, other way that you can actually do the place strategy is that at home you speak one language and outside you speak another language. That's also other point or example at the library or another friend's house, you speak one language here. One language on the street. In depends. Good. For example, if you're at home and you are ashamed to speak Alan language, you don't want anyone to you. Maybe when you go to the street you switch to polish when you walk around or you just do your running in the morning. You can speak outside Polish even if it makes using like crazy. That's one way to look at it, right? It's separated by a place either in a place inside your home or outside. That's place strategy by. 9. Target Strategy: Now I'll speak about the target strategy. Now, this is like a variation of the, really the most popular multilingual strategy, which is Pol. Now you may have heard of us or not. Paul stands for one parent, one language. It's basically when a child is coming and you want him to be bilingual, the mom speaks your native language, the daddy speaks native language. The child grows speaking mother's language and dads language. Then when he goes to school, he learns the language that is spoken in the country. He just speaking three languages. That is perfect. Great scenario. In your case, it may not be like that, maybe you're the only one trying to learn language. And your family all speaks the language of the country and you too. That might not be the case, but I made a variation of this. Again, the strategy is 01, parent one language. The whole idea is that when the child, right, let's try to understand this. When the child is like walking, when he sees his mom, he already start thinking in that language. Then he sees, no, he starts speaking French, let's say that's the language he's starting to listen and everything. My point here, I changed it to target strategy. You pick a target in your environment. I don't know what hobbies, I don't know. Toys, objects, persons you have. You pick one. That one. From now on, we'll speak that language. That makes no sense to you right now. Let's talk about it, for example, okay, Let's say you collect action figures, right? From now on, that action figure that you sometimes speak to, I don't know. Let's say French again. From now on you'll speak French because let's say English. And you're studying French sometimes, let's say. But then your whole day is in English. Even when you have an action figure that, I don't really have one right now. Let's say you have an action figure, you speak to her in English as well. That's not going to work because you're not really speaking French except when you're studying, which is not the approach that we want. You can speak, you need to speak fast. Okay? If you never practice speaking, how can you speak fast, right? Yes, you study, you have your main resource. That's fantastic. Now, this strategy is all about to have a target strategy. Every time you see her, you start speaking French, you speak French with you, make speak French. She has another friend that she's taking tea now, she speaks French and she's going to start speaking French. She's not going to understand anymore. Maybe she still speaks English. And she's saying to her to teach her some French too because she wants to understand. You can create a scenario here. I don't know if you're understanding completely, but that's the point in my Let me just put my case so you can understand more of the target tragedy. I have a child, she's four years old. Every time I see her I speak in English now. My native language is Spanish. I even speak Spanish with my friends, with my husband, because he doesn't speak English at all with my child, I only speak English, That's the point. That's the target strategy and she start picking it up. That's important. It's important because first I give her an advantage to practice. Two, we're happy. We're happier that way. I never lose contact of my English even now. I'm just teaching you guys how to learn language, but I do it in English even if it's not my native. That's practice as well. Okay. Then again, this target strategy is about picking anything, a person to a plan, anything from now on she speaks that language or you can only speak to it because she really doesn't speak. You can speak to it only in that language. All right, even if you has a cousin and your cousin comes here all the time and she comes with her dolls, imagine like her, let's say understand because they can speak understand Japanese. You speak Japanese with her dolls. And your cousin is going to be like what is happening? But the same time, maybe your cousins learns Japanese as well. But every time you play like yours, they speak Japanese and they understand Japanese. You have to speak Japanese with them. Just consider the old strategies. You're going to learn a lot because when you made speak, for example, French, I, you're not going to be sure the entire time what to say because your French lacks vocabulary, grammar, and so many things. But that's good because you're going to practice again. You have the other points of having a sentence notebook writing, even in English. If you have no idea how to say it in French, you write it in English. And then you go to your language exchange banner and you say, how can I say this in French? You say it then when she goes and she wants to say that again and you remember, or even if you don't remember, you get your notebook, you set it, you say that's how it was said, and you're going to make her say that again in the third day. If she suddenly have to say the same thing in a certain moment, maybe finally you'll remember you're going to learn more vocabulary. That's the target strategy. 10. Time Strategy: The first one that I'm going to talk about is a time strategy. The time strategy is very, very important needs and the most straightforward, let's say some people use it a lot. For example, time strategy, you divide the language that you're focusing on in the first example, the day that is a time, for example, when people say, I'll speak I it on Fridays, every time Friday arrives, switched to it. Of course, you study Italian every day. But on that day, yes. Yes, you speak you have to speak Italian since you wake up the first thing in the morning. Since you wake up, your first thought have to be Italian. Start sinking in Italian. The whole day. It, if you haven't been practicing your speaking skills, it's Friday. You have to speak Italian right now. Yesterday you forgot to study Italians. What is Friday? It's your Italian day. You have to study, you have to speak Italian, which is most important because right now we're talking about strategies to speak, to get you to speak to actually all the things you're actually doing. Passively. Studying passively, it's time to practice, okay? Time strategy. That's the most classic approach people do for time strategy, but it's not the only one time strategy actually talks about all periods of time actually, it's not just a day, you can pick a lot of days. Most common way is people say on weekdays this language and on weekends the other language, if you're only focusing on one language, it will be on weekdays, your native language. On weekends, the language you're practicing, people of some practice a lot of language time, they may do it differently from Monday to Wednesday, one language to Wednesday to Friday, another language. And weekends language learning, it could differ. Other even more weird, I don't know we, but it's definitely different. But it's still time strategy. It's divided time during the day. For example, on mornings you speak one language, and the evenings you speak another language. Your switch is between the same day, every day. In the mornings you speak one language, and in the evenings you speak another language. If you like that, you could actually try that one. It's even if you're only focusing on one language. During the mornings you speak your native, let's say, because you have to work, and in the evenings you only speak the language you're studying. That's actually really cool. Other people even make it. This is, it's still about working out and playing with time. Even if it's in the day, in the week, on a specific day, or like others, they do it every two weeks, or every other week, or every other day. Let's say it's Monday. You speak your native. It's Tuesday. You speak yes or yes, the language you're studying. Then it's Wednesday again, you're native, then it's Sunday, the language you're studying. Because it's every other day. Just play around with time. See which one you like and pick one. Of course, if time is not your favorite, keep watching the other strategies videos and see which you like. The idea is that you pick one strategy and start implementing it in your day. This was time strategy by. 11. Watching content on YouTube Easily: To tell you about something that I actually do. That it makes everything so much better for me. Because I say to your company that you have to find something on Youtube in your target language, right? But what I do that makes this easier, right, For me is to create a channel on Youtube specifically for the language I'm learning or want to learn. Right? Because if I just open Youtube with the idea in my mind, I just want to see a video, I don't know, on French. But when I open Youtube I see so many other recommendations from some other hobbies or things that I like to watch. I just want to stop it. And I'm just going to click on those videos. And then my whole plan of turning on you to watch something French, it's just going to be fasted and completely ruined. Okay, so what I do is create a channel. So in case you don't know that, I mean to create a channel, I always go to the website. So in this case, and in my laptop for example, I will, you go to your profile and you just go to configuration, okay? In this just put like ad or manage channels, right? And then you're going to see this, okay? So this is a place where you create a channel. So as you see, I'm just using my same e mail because this is just a, another channel that I'm going to have under my name. Right. This is my main one that I have with my e mail. But I have other channels that are just with a focus purpose. Right. I have Steffen, Steve German, Steve Rush with my mail. I have other channels as well like this. So that's how you have it. Okay. So if you're saying, oh, that's interesting, but I don't have another e mail or I don't want to create another Youtube account. You don't have to create another Youtube account with the same account. You have just create a channel specifically for that. In this channel, you're just going to subscribe to the channels you already like that are in French, bloggers on French, cartoons, on French, Everything that's on Youtube that is in French. When you actually login to your account, to your French account, which you just change account, you see I have with e mails all their accounts. You can just check your account for French and you're going to have all the recommendations on French. Even if you just go with a plan to do that, you're just going to have it. For example, I put here create a channel for example. In this case I'm going to put step Japanese. Just let's say I want to speak Japanese. Yes, I understand this. See, I'm creating a Google account with its own configuration that includes its own history. Right. And that's what I want. I don't want this to recommend me stuff that I like from my account. I want stuff that recommend me. Only stuff that I like in this channel that basically, of course, I'm going to only like videos on Japanese. The whole recommendation is on Japanese. Therefore, when I want to watch something on Japanese, I just log in to my Youtube account. I change the channel for step Japanese, and then I'm going to have all Youtube. The Japanese bloggers I like the Japanese videos, et cetera. This is your chance for you to don't fail on your plan on watching Youtube on your target language. Okay, that's it. That's all you're going to do. Like for example, I will put Create Channel. And then I'm going to start looking for the accounts or bloggers that I like and start subscribing and liking and watching those videos. And eventually Top is going to recommend me videos, like similar videos. And I'm going to find so many bloggers that I don't know that I'm going to like. That's that, it's a simple trick and it's amazing. 12. You have a language partner: You have found your language partner and now what? Right? Some people struggle with this a lot because they look at their language partner like a friend and like an awkward friend because they are like, hey coach, what can I say to this person? Because I can't come up with any topic. I want to say something, but I say like, how are you in the target language? She reply, What are you doing today? And she replies and then you're like, what else can we talk about? That's definitely not the way to approach a language partner. Now, you know you have a lot of activities, you've been through a lot of phases, you can practice that. Don't really think about the topic because guess what? Your language partner is not your friend. You're really not going to talk about your daily things, right? Because you could, that could be great. If she or he becomes your friend, that's fantastic because you finally talk naturally. But if he or she is not, it's just not going to come up naturally to talk about the daily things with him or her. You just have to sing more strategically. Like for example, you're in the face of doing your sentence notebook. Right? I'm just going to grab my sentence notebook. I really like this because it's cute and it's carved for having it in the purse. Let's say you have your sentence notebook, and now you have a language partner. This is perfect. Just send her or one of your sentences and she can correct it, review it, et cetera. You are practicing with songs. Recall you singing that song. And send it to her or the Odio, she's going to correct it. Okay. You can even read out loud all your short stories or anything that you're doing. Any activity, just actively, you have the chat to just send whether written or audio and she's going to correct it and she's going to say amazing. And you can even asker if she has a TV show she recommends, if she has a book she recommends. This is not really too recommended for me because she might like something that is not available for you or she might love a book that is way too hard for you. Just stick with your resources, stick with what you love. And just approach her or him to review what you do. Pretty much your sentences. You can correct it even more than correct, but maybe add some lank in there, make it sound more natural. Okay? More natural. And it's going to be perfect. Okay? Now you're going to find, not what I'm going to say to her, but actually when you're adding a new sentence. Oh, this is a sentence I year daily. I don't know if I translated. Well then you just go and send that to her. You're just not thinking anymore. As long as you practice and you do the faces and you have activities to do, you always have content to send her or send him. Okay, let's get into action. 13. What's next: You are over with the class, What's next, right? Well, what's next is that you actually can implement all the strategies, all the steps that I share with you.
