| 03:39 | the lesson and then we'll start . Okay . I | |
| 03:42 | shared it . Cool , so let's look at today's | |
| 03:45 | lesson boards . Today's lesson boards . Today's topic is | |
| 03:48 | leveling up your vocabulary . This is what I have | |
| 03:52 | prepared for today . So First we're going to talk | |
| 03:56 | about some ideas like flash cards . Reading . 2nd | |
| 04:01 | I have a writing tip for you and maybe a | |
| 04:04 | speaking tip or challenge people who want to challenge themselves | |
| 04:09 | and then last uh some other some some ways to | |
| 04:13 | maybe find new words that you might not think about | |
| 04:18 | . Some different ideas other than textbooks or media . | |
| 04:21 | Also for today I prepared some of my study materials | |
| 04:25 | to share with you so you can see and maybe | |
| 04:28 | get some ideas . Um Just maybe it's useful for | |
| 04:32 | you to see how I study . So let's begin | |
| 04:35 | with part one for today . So how do we | |
| 04:38 | level up our vocabulary ? Okay is everything okay ? | |
| 04:41 | Facebook are you okay ? I see . Facebook facebook | |
| 04:44 | is okay . I hope facebook is okay . Okay | |
| 04:46 | let's get to part one for today's lesson . So | |
| 04:50 | part one , let's begin with flashcards . Basic , | |
| 04:54 | very basic . Right . A flash card ? Uh | |
| 04:57 | flashcards are great . If you use digital flash card | |
| 05:00 | , if you use uh like hand made flashcards . | |
| 05:04 | Whatever flashcards . So this is a great way to | |
| 05:10 | study new vocabulary . Right ? So if you use | |
| 05:13 | flashcards , remember not , don't study the same list | |
| 05:18 | of flashcards forever . Right . Make sure that you | |
| 05:22 | download a new list of words to study . If | |
| 05:26 | you're using digital flash cards , download a new list | |
| 05:29 | of words to study . So we have flash card | |
| 05:31 | lists at english class 101 dot com . We have | |
| 05:34 | a flashcard system . You can use to you can | |
| 05:37 | check that or if you use a different app , | |
| 05:40 | if you use something else , you can download a | |
| 05:43 | new list of vocabulary words to study . So mixture | |
| 05:47 | you refresh your vocabulary lists . Yeah . Okay , | |
| 05:51 | so that's .1 two . Make your own word lists | |
| 05:56 | . Make your own word lists from media from the | |
| 05:59 | news , from your hobbies and so on . So | |
| 06:02 | uh make something that's unique to you . If you | |
| 06:06 | know there's something you want to study then you can | |
| 06:10 | find some words about that . So put them all | |
| 06:13 | in a like a list of your own and you | |
| 06:16 | can study with that . Okay . All right so | |
| 06:20 | this I want to show actually how I did this | |
| 06:23 | this point . So studying with my own word lists | |
| 06:27 | . Okay so in my case What I did is | |
| 06:31 | I went to just the like my local uh station | |
| 06:36 | in my local bookstore and I found this uh these | |
| 06:39 | flash cards so they have a ring . I think | |
| 06:42 | this was maybe like $1 or something like that . | |
| 06:44 | So in my case I went to the store and | |
| 06:48 | I bought this flash card thing , This little study | |
| 06:52 | ring of flash cards . And I chose a website | |
| 06:55 | . I had a website with vocabulary words I wanted | |
| 06:59 | to study . So in my case what I did | |
| 07:01 | to create my flashcards , I wrote one word in | |
| 07:06 | this case I'm studying japanese , you can use it | |
| 07:08 | for english . So I said I put one word | |
| 07:11 | , let me find a word that's good here . | |
| 07:13 | Okay , so I put one word in japanese , | |
| 07:16 | you can use english on one side and on the | |
| 07:19 | other side I wrote my translation , the translation in | |
| 07:23 | my language english . And then I like to , | |
| 07:26 | I also put a number on my card . So | |
| 07:29 | each one like this one is number six . It's | |
| 07:31 | hard to see but I put a number on these | |
| 07:34 | so that I remember how many words I've studied . | |
| 07:38 | So I like to do this style flashcards study because | |
| 07:43 | I can throw this in my bag and go and | |
| 07:46 | yes , you can use digital flash cards as well | |
| 07:50 | on your mobile phone or something . But for me | |
| 07:53 | , I know I get distracted sometimes . Like I | |
| 07:57 | want to check , twitter , check social media , | |
| 07:59 | something like that . Uh maybe look at my email | |
| 08:02 | . So I like using these because if I'm going | |
| 08:07 | somewhere like on the subway or the train or in | |
| 08:10 | a car , I can take these out and study | |
| 08:12 | at any time and they're very small . So this | |
| 08:15 | is what I actually do when I want to study | |
| 08:19 | something like targeted . Okay , so this is my | |
| 08:22 | , my personal tip for flashcards . Okay . Uh | |
| 08:26 | then The other point that's on this , the other | |
| 08:30 | point here is about reading , reading , this is | |
| 08:33 | point number two I want to talk about . So | |
| 08:37 | when you read something , make sure you're reading actively | |
| 08:43 | actively . So you can read books , you can | |
| 08:46 | read newspapers , articles , you can read online , | |
| 08:50 | you can read something in front of you on paper | |
| 08:53 | . Okay ? So you can choose something to read | |
| 08:57 | and then as you read you can write down or | |
| 09:02 | highlight new words you find right down or highlight new | |
| 09:07 | words you find . I'll show you an example of | |
| 09:10 | how I do this when I read something too . | |
| 09:13 | Okay ? And then as you read , make your | |
| 09:17 | own sentences with the new words , make your own | |
| 09:20 | sentences . So don't only consume the information , try | |
| 09:25 | to make your own creation with those new words and | |
| 09:29 | of course review . Review . So a lot of | |
| 09:32 | people , they read one time or listen one time | |
| 09:36 | , but we have to review to make sure we | |
| 09:39 | get and we keep all of the information . So | |
| 09:42 | I'll show you an example of how I do this | |
| 09:46 | , my kind of style for doing this . So | |
| 09:48 | in this case I have a book here . This | |
| 09:50 | is just a normal book I chose at the bookstore | |
| 09:53 | . Uh so when I want to focus on vocabulary | |
| 09:57 | actually I know vocabulary is my weak point . Um | |
| 10:01 | when I when I want to work on my vocabulary | |
| 10:05 | I will read a book . So I read the | |
| 10:08 | book . Maybe you can see here . And when | |
| 10:10 | I find a word as I'm reading I don't know | |
| 10:13 | I use a yellow highlighter and I highlight it right | |
| 10:16 | here . So there's maybe in this page three or | |
| 10:20 | four words I don't know . So I don't stop | |
| 10:24 | when I'm reading but I mark the word and then | |
| 10:27 | at the end of the page or when I finished | |
| 10:30 | this part of the chapter . So maybe I finished | |
| 10:33 | reading this page . Then I have a notebook where | |
| 10:37 | I write down my new words , I write down | |
| 10:41 | the new words I learned and I check the dictionary | |
| 10:44 | for translation . Okay so this is how one , | |
| 10:48 | this is one thing that I do when I'm studying | |
| 10:51 | . So some questions are coming in about this then | |
| 10:54 | uh Ballarat um says , what kind of books do | |
| 10:56 | you recommend ? Um Whatever is interesting for you . | |
| 11:01 | So a book that is interesting is the most important | |
| 11:04 | . You should want to read your book . Um | |
| 11:07 | second choose a book . That's good for your level | |
| 11:11 | . So when I showed you the , when I | |
| 11:14 | showed you this page and they're okay , here's a | |
| 11:16 | different page . I show you a page and on | |
| 11:19 | this there's maybe like one or two words per page | |
| 11:23 | , maybe three or four . So I try to | |
| 11:25 | choose a book that I can understand maybe 70 or | |
| 11:30 | 80 of pretty easily . So something that is too | |
| 11:35 | challenging is no good . Like if I make a | |
| 11:38 | mark , every sentence is too difficult for me . | |
| 11:42 | So choose something that you feel you can understand maybe | |
| 11:46 | 70-80 of if it's a children's book , that's okay | |
| 11:51 | . No problem . Like Children learn Children learn from | |
| 11:53 | that . So that would be my recommendation . Uh | |
| 11:57 | something you are interested in and something that you can | |
| 12:00 | understand a lot of already . Okay . All right | |
| 12:04 | . Uh I don't see other questions yet . I | |
| 12:08 | think facebook is a little bit behind us today , | |
| 12:10 | but they'll catch up . Okay . All right , | |
| 12:12 | so those are the first two points . So we'll | |
| 12:16 | take one quick break and then we'll go to um | |
| 12:19 | my really kind of interesting tip about your writing . | |
| 12:23 | Okay , So if you missed it earlier real quick | |

| 12:57 | that you can practice . So if you want to | |

| 13:03 | to do that . So check the link below the | |
| 13:06 | video . If you're watching on Youtube or above the | |
| 13:08 | video , if you're watching on facebook and you can | |
| 13:11 | download these . So check it out . I hope | |
| 13:13 | it's helpful . Okay , let's go to the next | |
| 13:17 | part . So part two for today . Let's go | |
| 13:20 | to that and we'll cover some writing tips in this | |
| 13:24 | one . Also , if you haven't , please please | |
| 13:26 | please make sure to like this video and share it | |
| 13:29 | to some other people can find today's lesson . All | |
| 13:32 | right , let's go a writing tips . So to | |
| 13:36 | level up your vocabulary there is a great tip you | |
| 13:40 | can use which is to stop using words like these | |
| 13:46 | if you joined last week's live lesson . Uh maybe | |
| 13:49 | you remember I talked about these words intensive fires . | |
| 13:53 | Yeah very or really or so . So a good | |
| 13:58 | way to level up your vocabulary or to practice using | |
| 14:03 | more difficult words is to stop using very or really | |
| 14:07 | or so before adjectives . So you can send your | |
| 14:11 | ideas in the chat . What do I mean by | |
| 14:14 | this ? So in your writing this is easier for | |
| 14:18 | writing but you can try it and speaking if you | |
| 14:20 | like when you want to say for example this food | |
| 14:24 | is very good for food . So don't write . | |
| 14:28 | Uh this is very good . Try delicious . So | |
| 14:32 | delicious means very good , right ? But it's one | |
| 14:36 | word . So we become more efficient . We use | |
| 14:39 | one word instead of two and this word , it's | |
| 14:44 | like we think of these as like higher level words | |
| 14:47 | than just this . So let's look at some more | |
| 14:50 | examples of this . How do we change these two | |
| 14:53 | words into one ? Like so beautiful . You could | |
| 14:57 | say , oh that's so beautiful or that's gorgeous , | |
| 15:01 | gorgeous , so gorgeous is like so beautiful . These | |
| 15:04 | two words together . Here's another one really hard . | |
| 15:09 | This game is really hard . We could say it's | |
| 15:12 | complicated , complicated and you could choose a different word | |
| 15:17 | here as well . Another example , something is very | |
| 15:21 | bad . It's terrible , it's terrible . It's awful | |
| 15:26 | . So this is the idea instead of saying very | |
| 15:29 | or so really try to use one word , just | |
| 15:33 | one word similar . I'm so tired , we could | |
| 15:37 | say I'm exhausted . So exhausted means so tired or | |
| 15:42 | really funny , we could say hilarious , that's hilarious | |
| 15:47 | . So think about these ways that you can combine | |
| 15:50 | like put these two words together to make one word | |
| 15:54 | . This is a good way to build your vocabulary | |
| 15:57 | and you can do this as I said when you're | |
| 16:01 | writing , try this . When you're writing . If | |
| 16:04 | you want an extra challenge , you can try this | |
| 16:06 | when you're speaking but it's sometimes difficult to remember very | |
| 16:12 | quickly even for me uh to use to to follow | |
| 16:16 | this rule . So this is a really good tips | |
| 16:18 | to improve your vocabulary when you're writing . Okay . | |
| 16:23 | Javier has a good one in the Youtube chat . | |
| 16:26 | Very important . Could mean crucial , crucial . Okay | |
| 16:30 | good . So here's a tip . Um Yeah and | |
| 16:34 | this is the key point here . Practice using one | |
| 16:36 | higher level word , one of these words to express | |
| 16:40 | yourself instead of two basic words . So just check | |
| 16:44 | your writing . Yeah when you finish writing something do | |
| 16:47 | a check . Do like a very so really check | |
| 16:50 | did you use that word ? And how can you | |
| 16:53 | make it one word ? So look for this pattern | |
| 16:57 | . Okay Ali Reza says any tips for teaching vocabulary | |
| 17:04 | ? Sometimes I find it difficult to teach vocabulary . | |
| 17:06 | Do you mean like in an in person lesson ? | |
| 17:09 | Because what I did like um in the past what | |
| 17:12 | I've done when we are working on new vocabulary in | |
| 17:17 | the classroom is the students . I hope always want | |
| 17:22 | the students to read the information before the lesson . | |
| 17:25 | So I I asked them or I expect them to | |
| 17:30 | come to the lesson . Uh They read that lessons | |
| 17:34 | information , they take notes before the lesson and have | |
| 17:38 | some questions . Uh So there are prepared before the | |
| 17:42 | lesson and then at the beginning of the lesson I | |
| 17:46 | review the key vocabulary and I share any small points | |
| 17:52 | to review what they already uh studied at home and | |
| 17:56 | then they can ask me questions that they had . | |
| 18:00 | And then finally we do some practice in the lesson | |
| 18:03 | where I try to pinpoint we do speaking practice uh | |
| 18:08 | in the lesson where I try to pinpoint those vocabulary | |
| 18:12 | words . So choosing especially common vocabulary words or maybe | |
| 18:17 | tricky vocabulary words . We do some speaking practice with | |
| 18:20 | those . Uh And then I send them like an | |
| 18:23 | email or a report after the lesson that uses some | |
| 18:27 | of those keywords as well . So review review . | |
| 18:30 | Review . Review review is a key point . So | |
| 18:32 | I hope that helps you um thinking about your studies | |
| 18:36 | for teachers as well , teaching and study . Okay | |
| 18:41 | Guillermo says what about formality ? Is the two word | |
| 18:44 | form less or more formal than the version with just | |
| 18:48 | one ? A good question . I wouldn't say like | |
| 18:52 | these are not impolite to say , oh this is | |
| 18:55 | very , very beautiful or uh this is very good | |
| 18:59 | . It's not impolite to say that . Um I | |
| 19:03 | would say maybe so beautiful . Uh it sounds a | |
| 19:08 | little , can sound a little bit casual , but | |
| 19:12 | it just depends on your kind of attitude in your | |
| 19:15 | tone of voice . Like if you go to a | |
| 19:17 | nice dinner party and you say , wow , your | |
| 19:19 | home is so beautiful . That's very polite . That's | |
| 19:22 | a very nice comment . So it kind of depends | |
| 19:25 | on your tone of voice a little bit , but | |
| 19:27 | there's not really a formality difference here . Uh someone | |
| 19:32 | on Youtube says , can I say haggard instead of | |
| 19:35 | very tired ? You can , so , haggard also | |
| 19:38 | refers to the way someone looks , so someone looks | |
| 19:41 | really tired , like their faces kind of drooping and | |
| 19:44 | their hair is super messy and uh they're like really | |
| 19:49 | grumpy or something like that , that someone who's haggard | |
| 19:53 | . Yeah . Okay , Good , good , good | |
| 19:56 | . All right , thank you for your questions . | |
| 19:58 | Okay , so this is my second tip for today | |
| 20:01 | . I think this is a good tip for writing | |
| 20:04 | . All right , we'll take one more quick break | |
| 20:07 | and then we'll go to my last , my last | |
| 20:10 | group of tips and I'll show you some other stuff | |
| 20:13 | from my study notebooks and maybe you'll get some ideas | |
| 20:16 | . So if you missed it , please don't forget | |
| 20:19 | to check the link below the video . If you're | |

| 20:46 | . So you can check these out , choose a | |

| 20:53 | is good as our lessons are online . So check | |

| 20:59 | you like . And the team is adding new pdf | |
| 21:02 | all the time . So check it out sometimes if | |
| 21:05 | you haven't checked in a while . Uh take a | |
| 21:07 | look and see if there's something okay . Um And | |
| 21:13 | egg deal Kalina . What is the best way to | |
| 21:15 | learn through a book ? I talked about that in | |
| 21:17 | part one of today's lesson . So after after this | |
| 21:20 | dream you can watch part one uh to get some | |
| 21:23 | tips about how to use a book to read or | |
| 21:26 | to to learn how to practice learning new vocabulary with | |
| 21:31 | a book . Okay let's go to the last part | |
| 21:33 | of today's lesson . Here we go . So to | |
| 21:37 | level up your vocabulary ? Uh first Right with new | |
| 21:44 | words right ? With new words . So in part | |
| 21:47 | one , I talked about flash cards and I talked | |
| 21:50 | about reading and creating new word lists for yourself . | |
| 21:55 | Right ? The next part is to write with new | |
| 21:59 | words . To write with new words . So for | |
| 22:01 | example you can make a diary or a journal for | |
| 22:06 | writing practice . So make sure you create with the | |
| 22:11 | new words , don't just consume them , don't just | |
| 22:13 | input . Also output to make sure you can level | |
| 22:17 | up your vocabulary . Okay then try creating questions with | |
| 22:23 | new words . This is something that I do that's | |
| 22:27 | really challenging sometimes , but I like to do this | |
| 22:31 | because uh it forces me to think in new ways | |
| 22:35 | . So try creating a question with your new word | |
| 22:38 | . And then of course review Review . Review review | |
| 22:42 | . So whatever you write in your journal or on | |
| 22:44 | the piece of paper , make sure you come back | |
| 22:47 | and look at it again . Finally , another idea | |
| 22:51 | . Try translating a sentence or a paragraph . I'll | |
| 22:55 | show you an example of this in just a second | |
| 22:57 | . But if you are reading like an article or | |
| 23:00 | a book or something , and do you think , | |
| 23:03 | oh , this is kind of interesting , How would | |
| 23:05 | I say this in my language ? You can , | |
| 23:07 | after you read , you can try to translate it | |
| 23:10 | yourself uh if your translation is not perfect , it's | |
| 23:13 | okay , you're just studying , just practicing , right | |
| 23:17 | ? So I'll show you , I'll show you an | |
| 23:19 | example of how I'll show you some examples of how | |
| 23:23 | I practice writing for beginners for intermediate and for more | |
| 23:28 | advanced learners . So , first , if you want | |
| 23:30 | to practise uh just like very , basically very basic | |
| 23:35 | steps that creating letters , you can just do lots | |
| 23:38 | of repeated study . So in this case , because | |
| 23:41 | I'm studying forever , I'm studying japanese . I just | |
| 23:45 | practiced making characters many many times and this helped me | |
| 23:50 | a lot . So if you are practicing nicer english | |
| 23:54 | writing , you can do this with big letters or | |
| 23:57 | with small letters if you're super beginner , but for | |
| 24:01 | making sentences and vocabulary practice . So I showed you | |
| 24:05 | , I showed you this earlier uh like I choose | |
| 24:08 | keywords that I don't know from the book . In | |
| 24:11 | this case I write the page number , this is | |
| 24:14 | just for me . I write the page number and | |
| 24:16 | I write the vocabulary word I don't know and then | |
| 24:20 | I look it up and then later I'll often make | |
| 24:24 | a sentence with it . So let me find an | |
| 24:26 | example for you of a sentence that I made later | |
| 24:29 | . Okay , so here we go . So further | |
| 24:33 | , this is this is a different topic . But | |
| 24:36 | after I researched some new words , I actually make | |
| 24:40 | questions myself and they don't have to be perfect . | |
| 24:45 | But I make my own questions inside my study journal | |
| 24:49 | so that I'm reusing the vocabulary many times . Yeah | |
| 24:54 | , so these questions I know it's in a different | |
| 24:56 | language but this is my steady process . So maybe | |
| 24:59 | it works for you . So I find words I | |
| 25:02 | need to study and then I make questions with those | |
| 25:06 | words on another page later . So this is how | |
| 25:09 | I approach vocabulary studies . So maybe this is something | |
| 25:14 | that can help you with your english studies . Yeah | |
| 25:17 | , so lots and lots of review . Uh lots | |
| 25:20 | and lots of repetition . Okay , so that is | |
| 25:24 | my personal tip . Maybe it's helpful for you . | |
| 25:27 | Let's go then to the last point for today . | |
| 25:30 | At the last point for today . Yeah , I | |
| 25:32 | see some comments from facebook . I think that facebook | |
| 25:36 | is going a little bit slow . Sorry about that | |
| 25:38 | . There was some kind of facebook issue . I | |
| 25:40 | think the lesson is okay there now . Um Okay | |
| 25:44 | so let's go to the last point that I have | |
| 25:47 | for building your vocabulary . The last tip I have | |
| 25:51 | is one that was very very helpful and is very | |
| 25:54 | helpful for me . Uh it's to read social media | |
| 25:58 | updates to read social media updates . Why ? Okay | |
| 26:03 | so social media updates from your friends or from people | |
| 26:07 | that you're interested in are really helpful because you can | |
| 26:11 | find slang , you can learn different communication styles and | |
| 26:16 | you can find real conversations about everyday life situations . | |
| 26:22 | So you can see how people communicate and the kinds | |
| 26:26 | of vocabulary words different people use . So you can | |
| 26:31 | find a lot of words that maybe you wouldn't find | |
| 26:36 | in a book or in a magazine article , right | |
| 26:38 | ? You can understand someone's personality a little bit better | |
| 26:43 | . So if you have an english speaking friend or | |
| 26:47 | if there's like an english speaking celebrity or someone interesting | |
| 26:51 | , maybe your favorite athlete , something like that , | |
| 26:53 | you can follow them and start to look at the | |
| 26:56 | ways they use words . This was really helpful for | |
| 26:59 | me . Uh like I check my friends or people | |
| 27:02 | I'm interested in like their social media updates and I've | |
| 27:05 | learned new words just from checking my friends , like | |
| 27:08 | instagram posts . Like I look it up later , | |
| 27:11 | like what does that word mean ? And then I | |
| 27:13 | get a new vocabulary word that I know they use | |
| 27:16 | , so I know it's probably useful for me to | |
| 27:20 | know that word . Okay , good . And also | |
| 27:24 | a point it's okay if you don't understand 100 of | |
| 27:28 | the social media update , it's okay if you don't | |
| 27:31 | like I did at first I didn't , I saw | |
| 27:33 | all this information and I thought oh my gosh , | |
| 27:37 | this is so difficult I don't understand . But after | |
| 27:40 | studying , when you see it every day , you | |
| 27:42 | see the updates every day , sometimes there's pictures and | |
| 27:45 | so on . You start to learn how to use | |
| 27:48 | those words . So this is another really great way | |
| 27:51 | to level up your vocabulary and learn some new words | |
| 27:55 | . Okay , so I hope that this is helpful | |
| 27:57 | for you . All right . That's everything that I | |
| 28:00 | have for today . Your questions um Ahmed says synonyms | |
| 28:04 | can help us to learn more words that have the | |
| 28:07 | same meaning . Yeah . What do you think ? | |
| 28:09 | Sure . I would say ? I agree . Generally | |
| 28:12 | . I think you should be a little careful with | |
| 28:15 | synonyms because sometimes if you check up the saurus at | |
| 28:19 | the saurus is like a dictionary , but for words | |
| 28:22 | with similar meanings just make sure you understand the the | |
| 28:27 | situations in which you need to use the word right | |
| 28:31 | ? Sometimes you can get in trouble if you use | |
| 28:33 | a word you think is a synonym but it's not | |
| 28:35 | quite a synonym . Okay um Other questions about building | |
| 28:41 | vocabulary , someone says I don't understand . Say it | |
| 28:43 | again . This is being recorded . Please check the | |
| 28:46 | video archive after this lesson . Okay . Um Rodrigo | |
| 28:52 | says if we're watching movies without subtitles uh not legend | |
| 28:56 | but subtitles if we're watching a movie without subtitles is | |
| 28:59 | a good to learn faster . This is a tough | |
| 29:01 | question . Everybody is a little bit different . Uh | |
| 29:04 | So subtitles on like a movie or a tv show | |
| 29:08 | you can choose subtitles in english , you can choose | |
| 29:10 | subtitles in a different language you can watch with no | |
| 29:13 | subtitles . I think there are benefits to every single | |
| 29:17 | one . Right ? So it depends on the skill | |
| 29:20 | I think you want to build and how comfortable like | |
| 29:23 | is it easy for you to understand the movie or | |
| 29:27 | the tv show ? If it's really hard for you | |
| 29:29 | to catch all the words the characters are saying . | |
| 29:32 | Maybe try turning the subtitles in . English on to | |
| 29:36 | catch the words and then turn it off and watch | |
| 29:39 | again . So again just reviewing , reviewing , reviewing | |
| 29:42 | these are all steady tools you can use to review | |
| 29:46 | and to get the information you need and the practice | |
| 29:49 | you need in different ways . Yeah so I hope | |
| 29:52 | that helps you uh someone says what books do you | |
| 29:55 | recommend ? I answered this . I've answered this like | |
| 29:57 | twice I think in this live stream I guess there's | |
| 30:00 | no one perfect book . You need to choose something | |
| 30:02 | interesting for you and at the right level . So | |
| 30:05 | watch this from the beginning . Uh If you want | |
| 30:08 | some more ideas for that . Okay , could you | |
| 30:11 | pronounce also ? Also I hope that helps . Okay | |
| 30:15 | . All right . Uh so I have to finish | |
| 30:17 | up for today's lesson . Um I see lots of | |
| 30:20 | people on facebook writing . Hello and thanks . Cool | |
| 30:23 | . Uh Yeah , someone had a question about this | |
| 30:27 | . The saurus , its a hard word to say | |
| 30:30 | . The saurus is a good a good tool to | |
| 30:33 | use . I use a thesaurus from time to time | |
| 30:37 | . You can find an online thesaurus just like a | |
| 30:41 | dictionary . So if you want to practise this tip | |
| 30:45 | that I said where you want to use a different | |
| 30:48 | word here instead of very good or so beautiful , | |
| 30:52 | you can use uh the saurus to do that . | |
| 30:54 | But if you're not sure about the word you find | |
| 30:59 | in the saurus , you can do a check like | |
| 31:02 | a dictionary check check and online dictionary for some example | |
| 31:06 | sentence . Okay let's finish so let's finish there . | |
| 31:11 | Thank you for your great questions . We need to | |
| 31:14 | end though . So I will share the information for | |
