Instead, watch this lesson, and never, never, never give up!

TRANSCRIPT

Never, ever give up learning English, unless maybe you don't want to - then, don't. I'm not here to tell you what to do, but I mean... Blah. But my name is Ronnie, and I'm going to tell you what not to do. I'm going to give you some guidelines and I'm going to give you some help, because you probably need it. I know I do. I need help. Geez, do I ever. That's another topic we're not getting into right now, though.

But what I want you to understand is that: Don't give up. Okay? Keep on learning, keep on trying, and I know it's difficult. I know English is crazy. I don't know how I speak it so well; maybe I don't. But if you have a goal-not only learning English-and you're not motivated, guess what? You're not going to achieve your goal. So, I'm teaching you English, but you can use this for anything. This lesson is: "Don't Give Up" and achieve your goal.

Maybe you've done this - you've written down or you write down your goals. Okay? So: "I'm going to be a fluent English speaker within three minutes." Sorry, that's not going to happen, but writing down your goals will give you something, like a guideline, to follow. So, make a list. Now, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking: "Ronnie, I've made the list. I've... I've written down my goals, and I just can't follow them." Me too. But, again, we're going to think of how you can actually follow this list. You have the list, you've written the list - now we have to follow it.

So, what you should do is make whatever you're going to do fun. Learning English - make it fun. Watch videos. Do you like comic books? Read English comic books. Do you like music like I do? Listen to music in English. Do you like reading? Reading English books are difficult-they're long-but if you like doing it, do it. Who cares what anyone else says? If you don't like reading books, like I don't like reading books - don't read a book. That's boring. If you love movies, watch a movie. Make sure that what you're doing is fun, because if it's not fun, you're going to lose interest and your brain is going to go: "This is boring", and then you're on your phone. Okay?

So, make it fun and also make short tasks. If you have too much work, you're going to get overwhelmed. "Overwhelmed" means you think or you know there's too much to do. So, you break it down or you divide it into short tasks or jobs. So, maybe you're going to learn the verbs in English. There's so many of them. There's 42; maybe more. What you're going to do is: Don't try to learn all of the verbs; try to learn patterns of the verbs. Try to break them down, and every day, little by little, do some work.

If you look at it like doing it all at once, it'll never happen. Let's take this out of the context of learning English. Let's say that you have a lot of things to do in one day - maybe you have to do your laundry, and then you have to clean your apartment-uh-oh, this is my list-and then you've got to take your dog for a walk, and then you've got to eat something-oh my god-and then you've got to have a shower, and wash your hair, and then... Oh, and then you have to go out, and then you've got to get dressed, and then you've got to... Oh my. […]

Ronnie makes part of my journey on learning English. She's the first person who spoke more than 5 minutes in English and I could understand everything she said. It had never happened before in my life. It happened 6 years ago and I remember how motivated I was to continue. Thank you, Ronnie! I love you! ❤️

2:49 "I've written down my goals and I just can't follow them, me too" it cracked me up this part because of how she said it and because of her facial expression

Ronnie, this is for real. You are my favorite English teacher online ever because of how non-traditional you are. You should have a Channel on how to be a good, effective English Teacher.
My goal for 2019 is to grow my YT channel to help people learn english as well. I WONT GIVE UP.
