Learn English: 3 easy ways to get better at speaking English

There are easy ways to learn English, and here are 3 methods NOT taught in language schools or textbooks. These methods are fun, fast, and easy to learn! You will learn how to make studying English easier, and learn how to spend less time studying. Take this lesson and learn the secrets to getting better in English right now.

"The Prosperity Plan." It's empty. Why? Well, hi. James, from EngVid. I have a book, and it says "Prosperity Plan". I know you're here to learn English. This is a book full of secrets on how to make millions of dollars. Empty. That's because when people tell you there's a secret, there's not really a secret; there's a method behind something, and you may not know it, so to you it's a secret, but you know, just like that book, there are no secrets. The only one is hard work. Let's look at the three methods I have for you today in order to learn English, okay? Call them the "Secrets you need to know" because most people don't know them because the funny thing is, although they're not secret -- I said it again -- they're not methods that are usually taught in ESL books.
The Kaizen Method, the Process Method, and the Writing Method are actually books I read on something completely different. But what I found was they were very, very handy for learning English. Personally, I'm trying to learn Spanish, and when I apply these different methods, I found my learning going faster and faster, and I actually enjoyed it. So I called them "secret" for you because I'm quite sure that your teachers haven't sat down and gone, "Today, we're going to learn the Kaizen Method of English. Then, we'll do the Process Method, and then we'll do the Writing Method." No. Because they're actually three different books, all right? So I'm just going to give you a part of each book, and if I come across to the end, I'll give you another lesson on it, all right? But these are three things I liked out of these books.
All right. Let's start from the first one, the Process Method. I know -- and it's in red, and I start here why? Most of the times people are learning a language, they want to -- and this is what the Process Method is about. People start with "product", "product". What is a "product"? A "product" is something you can touch or hold. This marker is a product. But this isn't how the marker started. I'm sorry. Okay, the marker started a little differently. I mean, that's an alcohol base that I'm sniffing. When I go [inhales], there's liquid in here. This is plastic -- came from oil. So why I'm telling you all these things -- you're going, "Why are you telling me?" Well, things start in a certain way, but they end up like this. In fact, you can think of the Process Method versus product as being a tree and being a seed. And a seed, you know, little thing, you put it in the ground, and it grows into a tree. Well, when you have a seed, the seed has no idea that it's going to be a tree and a big tree -- how long it will take. But humans are funny. They want to start a language, and they think right away, "I'm going to learn English." And then, they sit down; they open the book; they open the book; "I'm going to learn English. I'm learning English. I'm learning English." And then they get upset one hour later. "I don't know any English. I don't speak English." Well, it's like being a human. You start as a baby, you grow to an adult. When we talk about the Process Method, what you want to do is don't think about you want to speak English. Yes, I know. That's why you're watching this video and why you're studying. Think more about what you're doing while you're studying English. And this is called the "process". Go into the step. Concentrate on what you're doing. You'll find a couple of things happen: Sometimes you'll say English is hard or it's boring. If you do this method, you'll actually stop finding it hard or boring, and you'll enjoy it because you'll be working on something specific, mastering that, and then you're going to start noticing that the final product -- English -- is coming to you. And it will come faster than you think. Why? Well, if you're thinking, "I don't understand this English", you're focusing, really, on you don't understand English or you don't know English. You're not focusing on what you're doing. If you take a breath [inhales] and go [exhales], "Okay. I'm just watching this video of this crazy guy who speaks very quickly in English, and just now, he told me to take a breath. Oh, okay. I understand." And you're ahead. That's the Process Method. Take time to actually go back -- when you're thinking about it's hard; it's difficult or boring -- and say to yourself, "What am I doing now?" And then look at that. Each time you do that, you get further in the process and you will end up with a product before you know it. Okay? Sounds simple, but try it. You can even do this on a date. That's another story.

I remember watching his videos like 5 years ago when I first told myself that I really wanted to learn English back when I was teenager. Now, I'm 22 years old, studying English professionally, not just for learning the language but to become a teacher of English. How life gives you lemons and you take them! 😄

[martykov]

It is funny when I cant speak enlish but I understand 90% of what teacher said in video :D

[afifahali]

After five videos I went through with this guy and now I recognise his among my best teachers i'd ever met in this world..cant wait to learn more.. From Malaysia

First thing you need to realize is that English is a language.

It is not a subject you can learn.

The reason why you are still not fluent in English is that you are thinking about it as an obstacle.

It's a language, just like your native one.

You need to stop studying it, and start using it.

Use it for something fun, interesting and useful.

Doing exercises in it is the best way to be an English learner forever.

Start using it.

That awkward moment when you speak English but you're watching this.. 😂😂

[phenomenal]

do you guys think those three methods are actually help your in improving english? um.. in my opinion, there are two ways i used to getting my english better than better.
first, "open your mouth". my first english teacher who comes from New Zealand(i admitted she has kiwi accent but it does not matter) the first thing she teach me is that speak out. i know lots of people are afraid of talk to another people in english. but to me? lol i don't give fuck. before i learn english. i had only known three words 'hi, fuck and shit' those three typical words are such a official language in the world. any way, i was spending 5 hours to talk to english people for learning english. this is more useful than text book. so don't be shy, afraid or feeling weird when you speaking english. i know there will be some foolish people laughing at your accent but not at all.
second, reading book. i was reading a book every night even the comic book. because you need to consider that one day u could study in english university and there are  numbers of assessment you have to finish. so reading book can help you organise the sentences and correct grammar. there is one important thing u you to know speaking is not equal to writing. they are both totally different. speaking is speaking. writing is just writing.
addition:
listen to radio such as bbc or local radio for improving your listening. don't be mess up. because there are five english countries for example, american, british, kiwi and so on and they have their own accent. so if you are in the states just listen to their radios.
be simple in speaking and writing, simple is perfect.

I'm an Indian and here in India I suggest everyone who are preparing for the SSC exam to learn English with engvid
This channel is really helpful for ssc exam preparations

James, you're such an amazing teacher! I'm french and during my school years, I had the chance to have just a one "real" english teacher. She was scottish but she had humor and teached with passion like you. In France, most of the time they teach english with obsolete methods...
Learning becomes so much funnier and easier with teacher like you ! Thanks a lot James 💯🙏

[a.d.o]

He is an international teacher. God sent us James and he took it as it's his destiny for life. We should all pray for him blesses and be thankful, that we got him. 🤲.
I have diarrhea now. May god help us all.

I'm taking a break right now actually from writing a long college paper and I came across this vid and I really love it..I didn't skip not 1 sec..I love the way your speak and present your topic/lesson..I'm an aspiring teacher/prof and I can only hope I'll be this interesting and captivating in my teaching style :)

[imposingpython]

James, you're one of the best teachers I've ever met. The video is amazing. I get frustrated at times because I think mastering English is impossible, but then I pull myself together and keep goind.
Now your video motivated me to stay on track. Thanks a lot. Greetings from Russia. Peace out!

[ileananicolari]

Thank for this lesson, I am still in the process of learning, not just the words, learning to be pacient too, you made me smile speaking about dreaming in english, why? Because i've started to dream in english, and let me tell you I am very proud of this because As you said my brain has started to think in english too, and that is great

[andrezegat]

Professor, your classes are fantastic. After years far from an english school, was a pleasure to find soo good classes like yours. Thanks a lot

[elizavetademeneva]

James is the best teacher on youtube! I like his style of teaching :)

[Xdiego]

I'm currently learning another language right after english. And the best thing is that - as you said - you can adopt those methods for it. But the coolest thing about it, that you explained these methods so nice and calm, that you really feel good about learning. That's really what it should be so thank you very much James! I really wished my teachers back in school would be more like a real teacher who motivates his/her students instead of pressing knowledge into adolescents or kids.

Nice Video, helped a lot. I appreciate it and wish everyone here learning english top motivation to go on! :)

[azzeddinesallali]

I understand him 99% and I can speak but very slowly. I began studying English for just eight months on YouTube. From my experience with other languages it takes time and we have to practice. I speak Arabic, spanish, swedish.
