With Misterduncan

Not Synced
Hi everybody this is Misterduncan in England.
-
Not Synced
How are you today?
-
Not Synced
Are you ok? I hope so.
-
Not Synced
Are you happy? I hope so.
-
Not Synced
Welcome to the very first episode
-
Not Synced
of my series of English teaching videos.
-
Not Synced
Before I begin
-
Not Synced
we will take a look at some
-
Not Synced
of the common questions that often arise
-
Not Synced
when talking about learning the English language
-
Not Synced
and more importantly
-
Not Synced
learning it as a second language.
-
Not Synced
So, the first question must be...
-
Not Synced
"Why do we need to learn English?"
-
Not Synced
Of course one of the reasons
-
Not Synced
why we need to be able to speak English nowadays
-
Not Synced
is because the world is becoming smaller.
-
Not Synced
Thanks to the Internet
-
Not Synced
and our developing global economy
-
Not Synced
more and more people are using English
-
Not Synced
as a common way to communicate with each other.
-
Not Synced
So now it has become unavoidable
-
Not Synced
that companies and large businesses
-
Not Synced
will need to employ people
-
Not Synced
who can speak more than their own native language.
-
Not Synced
That is were English comes in...
-
Not Synced
It is now officially considered
-
Not Synced
as an international language.
-
Not Synced
Of course learning anything is difficult
-
Not Synced
and English is no exception.
-
Not Synced
However, there are ways to make the situation easier.
-
Not Synced
I have come up with my own list of general rules
-
Not Synced
for learning English.
-
Not Synced
Do you want to hear them?
-
Not Synced
Do you want to know what they are?
-
Not Synced
Ok. Let's go!
-
Not Synced
Learning English takes time and patience.
-
Not Synced
It cannot be rushed.
-
Not Synced
Try to relax and take it easy.
-
Not Synced
The most important thing you need at the beginning
-
Not Synced
is a good vocabulary.
-
Not Synced
Without words, you have nothing to work with.
-
Not Synced
You must start with a strong foundation
-
Not Synced
or base
-
Not Synced
and slowly build on it, day by day!
-
Not Synced
You must view English as a part of your body
-
Not Synced
just as you would, an arm or a leg.
-
Not Synced
It must become a part of your everyday life.
-
Not Synced
Daily practice is very important.
-
Not Synced
Do not worry about making mistakes
-
Not Synced
in fact the more mistakes you make
-
Not Synced
the more you will learn from them.
-
Not Synced
Just like learning to ride a bike.
-
Not Synced
Sometimes you fall off.
-
Not Synced
So what do you do?
-
Not Synced
You get back on and try again.
-
Not Synced
Do not look at English as just another subject.
-
Not Synced
Your attitude to English and the way you view it
-
Not Synced
will decide how well you progress.
-
Not Synced
Just as we say in English...
-
Not Synced
"No pain...No gain"
-
Not Synced
The two most important words to remember
-
Not Synced
when learning English are...
-
Not Synced
Practice and Confidence.
-
Not Synced
Practice English everyday
