How to learn MORE English with Emma

TRANSCRIPT

Hello. My name is Emma, and in today's video I want to tell you about a very exciting opportunity; but before I talk about this really great opportunity, I wanted to tell you a little bit about myself and what I do.

So, I hope you see this heart, here. I put this heart here because I want to talk something that's very close, and near and dear to my heart, and that is teaching English. I believe English learning or learning the English language can help people change their lives for the better. Okay? A lot of you are learning English, and I want to ask you: Why are you learning English? Maybe some of you want a promotion at work, maybe some of you are looking for a new job or the love of your life, maybe some of you want to travel and see the world and you know English is going to help that goal; for others it might be about studying at a different university abroad; or maybe for those of you who work in business, maybe English can help you conduct your business better. Whatever the reason, there are many, many reasons why somebody might learn English, and I'm here to help you with your goal.

So, my job is to help you meet your goals-whatever they are-by providing free English lessons. I have been doing this for a very long time. Since 2011, I have been creating YouTube videos about all sorts of things related to English; from listening, to grammar, to vocabulary, to test preparation. I create a lot of videos about English-language learning.

But what a lot of people don't realize is that these videos take a lot of time and effort to create, so I wanted to talk a little bit about that. What goes into creating one of our videos? Well, first of all, our videos require a team. You see me in front of the camera, but we have people working behind the camera who I'd like to thank; we have people who film, people who edit, who produce, we have people who create the closed captioning at the bottom of the videos to help our learners understand them better. So, we are a team who create these videos.

The second thing I wanted to say is that these videos take a lot of time and effort, and we're very happy to create these videos because they are very important to a lot of people; and we believe in free, accessible education. So, let me tell you a little bit more about myself and why I do what I do.

So, I have spent years learning on how to teach and what goes into learning a language. I have gone to different conferences, I have taken many courses and certifications, as well as recently I obtained a master's related to language learning. Another thing that a lot of people might not know about me is I still work full time. So, during the day I work and I teach; and it's in the evenings and on weekends when I do my passion. Well, my passion is teaching, but I mean my passion at work of creating these free videos.

So, some of you might wonder: Why do you spend your evenings and weekends creating these videos? Well, to me they're very important for the following reasons. I like to help to create these free videos because I think they really help people. I've met a lot of different people who have watched my videos, and I'm always glad to help. I think that English can help people reach their goals, and I want to be a part of this and I want to help people reach their goals, so this is one reason why I do this. I also very much believe in accessible education.

To me, I like the idea of a fair world; I like the idea of free education where it doesn't matter how much money you have, and it doesn't matter where you live, or even what... If you have a disability or not. I like the idea of everybody having access to education. So, one reason I create these videos is to make the world more accessible and to provide free education for all. I also think it's important that when you know something, you should share it when it comes to new research, or new information, and new knowledge. I've spent a lot of time learning about the best ways to learn a language, so I like sharing this with others.

Finally, I love sharing my culture. I'm a very proud Canadian and a very proud Torontonian, which is somebody from Toronto. So, in these videos I get to talk a lot about my city and my country, and I get to share aspects of my culture, and I also love learning about other people's cultures, so doing this really helps me to do that.

I feel your struggle. I also teach full-time, am doing a Masters in TESOl and try to plan/shoot/edit 2-3 videos a week. It's rewarding but also insanely difficult! Thanks for the excellent videos!

I've been studying English for 4 years. It really changed my life. I enjoy to study this language which helped me so much. I Look forward for learning more English. When you speak another language you feel a different person. I hope to improve my grammar and my speaking soon. Good luck to everyone.

We love your classes. The Engvid team and you, Emma, are the best teacher we've ever had. Thank you so much, so much for everything you've been doing. Most of I know came and come from your videos. Another important thing, in 2016 I started my Bachelor of Arts - focusing in English language, and probably by the end of 2020 I'm gonna take my degree. God bless you dear teacher. You deserve all the best.
