Need some toilet paper?

Because I have to clean my hi James Ming vit thinking about shopping toiletries.

We'll do a lesson on that.

Yeah, soon.

Anyway, today's lesson is introducing a brand new guy.

Might have heard of them before.

Slow down a bit because Thomas, I said Thomas the Tooter turtle, he wants to mhm.

Yeah, he wants to help you.

He's gonna be tutoring.

So when we do tutoring what that means is, well, slightest.

Snake does slang and idioms the cool stuff.

Mystery is your education e for education.

And also he's a mystery.

And then Thomas Tutor is going to tutor you, give you lessons and questions.

Maybe not the same as Mr E, but to help you learn English.

Okay.

Like a teacher helper private student.

I'm sorry.

Private teaching today.

He's gonna help you because what Thomas says is this Basically, before you start something you should know where you wanna go.

Imagine going on a trip, right?

If you go in a taxi or on an airplane, you don't just go.

I pay you.

Thank me.

Okay.

You'll go anywhere.

But if you know where you want to go, then you'll know how much you want to spend, How long you're gonna be there for You're going to get the results you want, and it's gonna be a great vacation.

We want English to be a great opportunity for you.

So let's start with the first five questions.

So Thomas says, Why do you want to learn English?

Most of you right now going?

Because, Well, because isn't a reason because leads to a reason because of this.

So for some of you, it's for vacation.

Or I would say pleasure, right?

You wanna have fun, you're going to a new country.

You want to talk to the people, you want to understand them, That's it.

Some of you school, you're going to go to a foreign country Canada, United States or England.

You know, there are benefits to having a degree from these countries, their international right.

So in that case, you gonna have to pass tests like Toefel or else.

So your needs for English or different than the vacation person.

They don't need to know academic words you dio And for some of you, its job.

So you were looking at promotions, right?

I need to get this from my job to keep my job right.

Or I need this because I want to have a higher level job because my company is becoming international.

And from Mexico we work with Americans.

I'm from India.

We dio telecommunications, right?

All of these things are necessary for people.

So when you're looking at it, your need is going to dictate and dictate.

We mean, tell you what you need to dio leads to Thomas's next question.

Once you've done this, how will you use your English?

Well, James, we just ask this for work.

No, there are two different types of English on.

What do I mean by this?

Well, any language is what we call.

Let me give a green one to give you a good idea.

That's what we call passive and what we call active.

What are they?

Well, one information comes in and that's passive.

The other information goes out.

That's active.

I'm sorry.

Active, passive would be reading for listening when you listen.

You're passive.

You're not saying anything.

You're not producing any any information.

You're just basically say taking an information for other people.

Okay, When you're listening and when you're reading is the same thing.

So in this case, we want Thio.

Understand?

Okay.

We want to understand That might be a little low for you.

You know what I'm gonna do?

I'm gonna put it up here.

So when you're doing passive information, think of passive information as understanding English or understanding.

Okay, So what's active?

Well, activists, obviously the opposite.

That's when you're going to be doing a lot of speaking one or writing.

Yeah.

Okay.

Like business reports, you might have to write something or talk at a meeting.

Okay, so this is when you want to give information.

Or better yet, let's say be understood.

Okay?

Vacation People will probably like speaking, listening not much reading or writing.

Students reading and writing and listening.

Speaking.

Maybe not so much business people speaking.

You get the idea.

So once you know why you need the English, then you're gonna know how you're going to use it.

We can move on to the third part.

The third part are believe it or not, it has nothing to do with English.

It's what are your own strengths in your own language.

Are you a good speaker?

Do you like to read do you like to write?

If you know that, you will have Mhm.

Okay.

Noticed?

I stopped speaking because I wanted you to pay attention.

You will have the ability to learn.

Foster.

If you're a good speaker than practice speaking in English, it's natural for you.

So it works better for you.

If you're good at reading or writing, then what you want to do is read in English.

Your love to read you love classic literature.

Read you love to write, then write, write in English, write stories, right?

Crazy stories or funny stories.

Happy stories.

Whatever makes you feel comfortable makes you relax and makes you learn foster.

Okay, so figure out in your own figure out means try to understand or find the answer.

What is your strength in your language?

What do you do best?

Because that's the thing that will help you.

Okay, now that's we've done this.

We figured out what we want to do.

How we will use it.

On what?

Our strengths.

We go over here.

What are your strengths or weaknesses in English?

Let's face fax you.

If you had no English, you wouldn't understand anything.

I just said so Obviously, you have some English experience.

Okay, If that's the case, now that you understand this right, what are your strength and your language?

And you thought about it?

What strengths or weaknesses and strengths means, Like forte, Muscle weakness.

E mean, what are your best things in English?

Funny.

You're probably noticing that your strength and your language is also your strength in English.

Maybe not, but things you might want to look at our key in on when we say Keown, we need focus on would be grammar.

Okay, I might be off board here.

I'm coming back.

I'm going off again.

Vocabulary.

Okay.

Conversation and listening.

Well, Oh, on.

By the way, if you come back to in Vic, you'll notice we have videos and all these things so we can help you.

Okay, but yeah, Figure out what your strength is in English.

And your weakness is your strength.

You can improve as they improve.

Actually, your weaknesses get less and less.

You become stronger all over.

But if you also know your weakness and you can work on those like goto our videos on slang or grammar or vocabulary, you'll notice that your strengths get Foster as well.

It's what we call win.

Win means you get better and better by looking at both aspects.

Okay.

And finally, this is the big one.

How much time do you really have?

This is the big factor.

Ah, lot of students say I want to learn English.

I want to be good.

I want to be fluent.

And they never asked a quick key question.

How much time will you devote?

Devote means Give time our energy to to learning your English.

10 minutes a day, 20 minutes an hour.

Five hours.

Be honest.

Be honest with yourself.

You see, once you make that commitment and you know what you want to do, you say I will do 10 minutes a day and you do it.

I can guarantee yes, guarantee money back.

By the way, it's free.

So I'm not giving you any money.

Okay, but money back guarantee that this if you make a commitment and say I will do five minutes every day, 10 minutes on our and you keep it.

You will learn English faster than you ever believe is possible.

However, you have to make that commitment.

So today, right down your time.

How much there's gonna be 10 minutes.

One hour?

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Okay.

Whatever.

It doesn't matter.

Just make a commitment and stick to it.

By answering these five questions, you're gonna find that your English and experience will be fun because you're going to pick things that you're strong at doing.

And you enjoy doing and fast because you make a commitment.

It will build every day until before you know it.

One day you and I will be having coffee with Tom the tutor Mystery and slide the snake.

Having a coffee at Starbucks here in Canada, talking like that.

I'd like that.

Anyway, don't call my house, because I probably won't do it, but it's a nice idea I think about.

Okay, So where do we have to go?

Well, seeing as we're working on our skills, I've spoken a little fast, so you might want to go to some listening videos that Yngve it or reading.

I'll give you some reading right now.

Okay, So he wants to help you, and so do I.

How will we do this?

We will do this by going to W W w Oh, by the way, response toe something One of you guys said, I am not tired of writing W W w I'm going to keep doing it because you wrote about it.

That's right.

Okay, Have a great day and see you soon.

Hope you get your goals.
