hi this is AJ and it's time for secret number four rule number four for excellent English speaking now you've learned three powerful ones already and just using those three it's really going to help your English speaking I think you're going to enjoy learning English a lot more but as I said it's a full system so you really need to learn all seven so let's learn number four today secret number four is this learn deeply learn deeply what do I mean by that we have this idea of wide and shallow you think of water for example shallow water is like this deep water is like an ocean very very deep so when we're talking about learning something deeply it means you totally learn it and master it there's a great quote from a guy named Tony Robbins which is this repetition is the mother of skill repetition is the mother of skill means to be very skillful to be very great at something you've got to repeat it so many times well that's basically what we're talking about here learning something deeply totally completely once again it's the opposite of what happens in school in most English classes what happens in the normal English class the normal English school the traditional way of learning well you go very very very fast right right there's a lot of pressure to keep going learning more more more and more right because you have to finish the textbook every teacher feels some pressure to finish the textbook in the correct time right we have to finish the textbook this year so next year we can do the next textbook right we got to finish book number one we got to do it quickly so that next year we can do book two it would be terrible not to finish book number one this year that's the idea that they have and it's totally crazy and wrong so here's what happens every week or every two weeks you're learning something new in your English class new grammar for example so you learn the past tense and then two or three weeks later oh now you're learning the the present perfect and then a few weeks later now you're learning the future that is crazy there is no way you can master and truly learn the past tense for example in just a few weeks even in just a couple of mon months it's not possible and then you start adding more and more and more and more and of course all the vocabulary lists more and more and more every week another huge list of words to memorize and there's all this pressure to go faster faster faster so what happens of course you study all this stuff for the test you memorize it you memorize it you take the test maybe you get a good grade maybe you don't and then after the test you forget a lot of it right right because you never learned it deeply you just memorized it short term and then you forget a lot of it or maybe you remember it but you can't use it I know you know the past tense I know you've studied it but do you always use it correctly if the answer is no if you still make mistakes it's because you never learned the past tense deeply now I have no problem with the past tense is it because I'm a genius no of course it's because I learned English as a small child and I mastered the past tense how did I do it how did I learn it so deeply through lots of repetition my parents did not try to teach me the present perfect or the future Progressive or something when I was very small no I heard the past tense again and again and again every single day hundreds of times a day thousands of times a day day until the past tense was so deep in my mind I didn't need to think about it anymore and I don't need to think about it it's totally automatic that is deep learning that's what you need you need to slow down and totally learn what you are studying what you are listening to you need to completely Master it to know it deep inside not just know it in you know in your brain it's the same with vocabulary you might know a word like if I ask you the meaning you can tell me the meaning but can you use it instantly in a conversation a real conversation if I say it in a conversation do you instantly and automatically understand it completely if not you have not learned it deeply now you're beginning to understand why you are having problems with English speaking you may think you know a lot of grammar and vocabulary but most of it you do not know deeply it's not automatic you have to think about it so you have to change the way you learn once again this is another secret another rule something else you need to change about the way you are learning English now the most basic way to do this is to do the opposite of school so instead of hurrying instead of trying to go fast and new chapter all the time I want you to do the opposite I want you to go slowly for example when you buy our lessons I will tell you that each lesson set a lesson set has maybe four or five connected lessons they about the same topic I will tell you that you must study that one lesson set at least 10 days to two weeks maybe even more maybe three weeks maybe one full month for a lesson set why because I want you to repeat that lesson every single day of course you're listening with your ears so what you're going to do is you're going to listen to each of those lessons it's about an hour total every day you'll listen to those maybe once maybe twice a day the next day you'll listen to those same audios again and the next day the same audios again and the next day the same audios again for 10 days 14 days 21 days more if necessary it's not a race you don't need to hurry no what I want you to do is to totally completely learn it know it deeply automatically and of course the way we design our lessons there's also a lot of repetition in the lessons so let's say there are four or five different Audios in that set each of those audios is using some of the same vocabulary a lot of the same grammar so you hear it in one situation then you hear it in another audio article then you hear it in a kind of funny crazy story then you hear it in another situation so you're appearing the same thing but in different situations so it's not boring it's still interesting but you're getting that repetition so you will start to learn the vocabulary and the grammar much more deeply that's how our system is designed it's very very important so here's the thing you have to do a lot of repeating focus on repeating a lot and doing a smaller amount of material so instead of reading 20 books read one book but read it slowly and well or a better example is audio instead of listening to 50 audios and watching 20 movies pick three audios and listen to them every single day the same audios for seven days 14 days 20 days whatever lots and lots and lots of repetition then the phrases will go into your mind deeply the grammar will start getting in there you don't need to think about it it happens automatically the new vocabulary if it's easy the new vocabulary gets in there all of these things go deeper deeper deeper each time you listen until it becomes automatic you don't need to translate you don't need to think about it it will pop out of your mouth that is the power of deep learning and it never stops it never stops I'm still hearing every single day the past tense in English so in a way right I'm getting more repetition it never stops I'll never stop as long as I'm alive it's never ending it's the same for you you never stop but you listen to fun and interesting things so the repetition is fun and interesting if you're focusing on textbooks and schools and grammar uh of course repetition is difficult because it's painfully boring but with our lessons for example you're listening to funny crazy interesting stuff so it's easy to repeat it 7 days or 14 days or 20 days it's not a problem and you can go out and you can find other interesting audios and do the same thing so here it is secret number four rule number four very very important learn deeply repetition is the mother of skill learn deeply all right I will see you tomorrow for secret number five have a great day bye-bye
