hi guys what's up it's me judy i'm a first  year medical student in turkey and today  

動名詞

we're gonna be talking about how i learned  english by myself without even studying it  

命令形

so let's get started okay so i'll mention about my  english background a disclaimer about the method  

and pros and cons of the method everything  that i mentioned will be timestamped down in  

the description below so that you can skip to  the part that you're interested in so let's get  

started so let's start with my english background  i went to regular private school in turkey until  

i got to high school i've never attended to an  english international school before high school  

i took english lessons as my main foreign language  and when i got into high school i got german as my  

main foreign language in elementary and middle  school i learned basic english i was like around  

a2 level according to cefr i got a 2 certificate  in english when i was in elementary school i  

guess i don't know i don't remember that but  i didn't try to get b1 diplom because i kind  

of didn't need it i was able to understand daily  conversations and explain like basic things about  

myself and kind of like have a basic conversation  with people but i was having like kind of struggle  

when people speak very fast so what can you do  with an a2 level in english is here if you want  

to read that stop the video and read it english  was one of my favorite subjects back in the day  

until i got high school i went to serve at german  turkish international high school in istanbul and  

we had pretty intense german lessons in prep class  we had like 40 lessons per week german and we only  

had like two to four lessons of english in a week  at that time only thing that i cared was german so  

i wasn't really focusing in english lessons i was  sleeping throughout the lessons all the time sorry  

teacher but yeah of course there are a lot of  differences between german and english but i find  

them pretty similar to each other and i realized  that whenever i study english or german after that  

i kind of mix up the words in these languages  and like in german lessons english words pop up  

to my mind in english lessons i say like and so  i decided to focus on only german for a while and  

then maybe work on english later on by studying  only german my german got better and better but  

the sad thing is my english got weaker and weaker  i knew that i had to do something but i didn't  

know what to do and where to start and it's been a  long time since i've studied english and all that  

stuff and our school was like german kind of like  school and all students were focused on german  

so nobody was caring much about english actually  back in the day i was watching so much youtube  

and one day youtube recommended me a video from  james charles and if you know him you know that he  

speaks very very very fast it was the first time  i saw guy doing a makeup i was really interested  

in him so i really wanted to understand what he  was saying but i couldn't but i was watching him  

anyways i decided to improve my english skills  to understand james charles which is kind of like  

funny to me and i'll show you guys throughout  the video how i did that okay so quick disclaimer  

since this video is about my experience it does  not contain any evidence-based tips from me so if  

you want some evidence-based tips then stay tuned  because i will be uploading science-based language  

learning tips so you know wait for that video next  week videos are coming so second disclaimer is if  

you are below a2 level i would recommend you to  come at that level first because i think it helped  

me quite a lot okay so let's talk about the method  the method itself is very basic okay so step  

one choose what to watch it can be a netflix show  or youtuber or tv show whatever but it has to be  

in english you don't need to watch every single  day exactly the same video or something you can  

alternate between netflix youtube tv shows and  all that stuff but don't forget to consume it in  

english okay so after deciding it we're moving to  step two step two is watch them at at normal speed  

and put the subtitles on try to understand what  they're talking about and focus on that video  

don't forget you're doing it for educational  purpose now for your fun all right watch every  

single day at least one hour of youtube netflix  whatever you have chosen i was watching about like  

three to four hours every single day in english  so yeah do that and also consume media only in  

english turn your phone settings into english  read news in english listen english songs sing  

them along try to understand what they're talking  about make english a part of your daily life use  

english when you start to understand the videos  without subtitles move on to the next step so step  

3 congratulations so you have to be understanding  the videos without subtitles now watch videos in  

english without subtitles at least one hour every  single day choose something that you enjoy it's  

a perfect opportunity to watch on educational  things without any guilt i don't know if you  

guys feel guilt but whenever i watch something  uneducational for like fun purposes i kind of  

feel guilty so yeah after watching one episode or  one video try to explain it to yourself in english  

by your own words what you have just watched and  also try to explain it without translating any  

words you suck at beginning and it's kinda feels  weird to talk into yourself but trust me it will  

help you so much in the long run and you will be  able to speak fluently i was talking to myself  

in english whenever i'm showering doing my makeup  do my skincare like all the time i was basically  

trying to explain things in english whenever i  think about something i was like trying to explain  

it in english to myself it's kind of weird because  you're talking all the time to yourself and you  

kind of feel like insane person but it's all right  you know it's gonna help a lot so trust me okay  

so when you kind of got better at understanding  videos without subs and talking to yourself move  

on to next step so step four is start to read in  english if you don't love reading shame on you you  

are losing so freaking much things so um you know  if you try to love reading and if you failed at it  

i can make a video about of it if you guys want  but for now if you hate reading books then read  

maybe news papers or you know news on online  on apps whatever after reading one chapter  

or one news try to summarize it in your own words  try to explain it in english to yourself it can be  

very basic you don't need to speak like a native  speaker but try to explain it yourself every  

single time it will help you and don't forget to  continue watching english videos as well at least  

one hour a day don't forget it after doing those  move on to the next step you should be able to  

understand youtube videos without subtitles and  able to understand what you read at this point  

speed up the videos to 1.25 to 1.5 read more  make it a habit to use english in your daily life  

i usually watch youtube videos at double speed  um in english in germany in japanese in turkish  

whatever it doesn't matter but i watch all of  them in double speed and i easily understand  

what they're talking about and all that stuff okay  so next step is continue it for a year all of them  

like reading every single day it can be one  chapter or so on i mean you can read one news  

edit right so read in english listen to english  songs watch youtube at least for an hour and  

every single time after watching something after  reading something after hearing something try  

to explain it to yourself in your own words in  english and don't use ever translator it's very  

important we're kind of trying to make english  brain in our brain so you have to create that  

english brain you have to think in english and  you have to express yourself in english in this  

process you're not gonna use any other language  than english that's very very important it took  

me about a year to become fluent in english at  that time i was like talking very basic stuff  

but i got better and better with the time i'm able  to speak right now about more complicated things  

and i'm i'm not like native speaker whatsoever  but i'm kind of confident in my english i guess  

you can of course visit some language courses and  cut that time out but i was wanting to do at home  

and i didn't want to spend some money on so if  you're broke that's for you okay so let's talk  

about the pros and cons about this method so let's  start with the pros firstly it's fun i mean you if  

you choose something that you enjoy to watch then  it's really fun i was like watching james charles  

jeffrey star uh mini amy way and patrick star and  all that stuff and they're talking fast and i was  

like kind of enjoying the process because with  the time i kind of started to understand them so  

it was very fun to me and the second pro is  it doesn't cost you anything extra if you have  

internet connection in youtube on your phone  and if you're watching this video it does mean  

that you have both of them so you know if you're  broke like me it's perfect for you pro three is  

basically you will be able to speak fluently so i  mean i'm just a proof of you don't need to visit  

classes to learn english so i think it's very cool  i think it's a huge flex when you say to people  

like i learned english by myself without studying  it you know i don't know maybe that just me being  

narcissistic but yeah so let's move on to cons so  if you don't do any extra studying on grammar you  

will suck at english grammar like me my grammar  is pretty bad in english because i just didn't  

study it but you know if you want to improve your  grammar as well study it i don't regret it i mean
