Читать книгу A Fantastic English Course. Change your mind, change your English, change your life - Александр Чумаков, Иван Иванович Мазур - Страница 5

Hi there! This is Alex and this is our first lesson of our fantastic English course called “Change your English, Change your life”.

In this lesson I am going to talk about things that English learners can face with while learning English. Actually, I am answering the question “What does it take to be an English learner?” In other words, what you should do to become what you want to become – a fantastic English learner.

And then you are going to have your vocabulary lesson where I am going to explain some words you may not know to help you establish, make deep, meaningful and strong connections between words to learn them faster and better and to remember them faster and longer.

And then there is going to be your mini-story lesson where I am going to tell a crazy, funny and stupid story and ask a lot of easy questions and answer them.

And finally, you will listen to my comments on this video where I am going to tell you about what it is there between the lines, how to improve faster and how to become a better English speaker and a fantastic human being.

Let’s get started.

Here is the QR code that you can scan with your phone’s camera and watch the video on my YouTube channel where I am answering this question or you can stay here and keep reading and listening to this lesson. It’s your choice. But if I were you would do both. I would watch the video and then I would read and I would listen to it.

Here we go.

Hey there! Welcome to Alex says, where you ask questions and I answer them.

My goal is to help you speak English like never before. Let’s begin.

Today’s question comes from Laura and Laura wants to know “What does it take to be an English learner?”

It is not an easy question to answer, but let me try.

Learning a foreign language, English, in particular, is certainly a huge challenge. And it literally can take years. It is not an easy process. And why should it be easy? No one said it should be easy.

But you should take it as an adventure. If you see learning English as a wonderful, fantastic and interesting journey, it will certainly change everything.

For example, let’s see an English learner as a marathon runner, not a sprinter. Of course, there are forces that pull you to left and right, but you have to stay on your course. And that involves a huge effort. And as I said it is not this day and that day. It takes time.

That’s what my parents taught me, by the way. Good things take: a long time, a huge commitment and they are difficult. And you have to be prepared for that.

Simply to say, you have to be a big believer. You have to be an optimist, believing that future will be brighter tomorrow. You have to see the end results. See yourself speaking true, real and excellent English and feel proud of yourself when you speak English.

If you do this, I promise you will certainly start speaking English like never before.

Thanks for the question. Take care of yourself. Take care of each other.

Okay, this is the end of this lesson. I mean you have watched or listened to the video and now, I am sure, you have a better understanding what it takes to be an English learner. But if you still have some difficulties understanding some words, don’t worry. I’ll explain them to you in the vocabulary lesson. You can watch this video as many times as you want to and you can share it with your friends to help them know it really takes to become an English learner.

Have a great day and see you soon. Bye for now.
