Improve your English fluency through real-world speaking, listening, vocabulary, and communication practice.
I really believe that every single
person has the potential to excel in
English,
but I feel like sometimes the way we
think about English or the beliefs we
have about English and studying are
quite limiting [music] and for as much
information I can give you, if you are
full with your own beliefs around
English or anything else, it's very
difficult for me to to make an impact
and help you truly understand what it is
I want to teach you have a wall. We're
going to be having a look at a series of
mindset videos. We're looking at four
different mindset ideas and techniques
[music] that are designed to help you
identify how you feel about English,
what your blocks are, and how to get rid
of those blocks [music] so you can start
increasing your confidence when
speaking. At the end of watching those
four videos, you will see that you will
have a PDF. Now, it's a very simple,
easy exercise. Um, it's just you've got
about 10 questions that you need to
answer in regards to what you've watched
in the mindset videos. Now, the
questions are designed to start getting
you to think about, you know, the
mindset techniques I've spoken to you
about reflecting on yourself, your
feelings, your goals, so you can really
maximize this experience. [music]
Go ahead and read that and best of luck.
All right, guys. Enjoy and get started
now with your mindset videos. Bye.
Hey ladies. So here we are talking about
the awareness mindset. And you may be
thinking Gia, what does awareness have
anything to do with learning English?
Very good question. It actually has a
lot to do with learning English. And
that's why this is the very first video
that I am showing you. and that we're
going to be going through. Now, a lot of
the time when we start something new, in
this case, when we start English, we
just think, "Oh, okay. I I'm learning
something new, I just need to study the
material and that's it." And if my
results aren't what I want, it just
means I didn't study hard enough. I'm
here to break that belief. I want you to
think right now in this moment about how
you feel when you're speaking English.
Do you feel confident? Um do you feel
positive? Or do you feel scared? Do you
feel uncomfortable? Do you feel
overwhelmed?
Then think about the voices you have in
your head. What are the things that
you're telling yourself? You know, are
are you self-doubting?
Are you shaming yourself? Are you
telling yourself you're not good enough?
You'll never be able to do it. It's too
hard. Who cares?
What conversation is going on in your
head? Now, the reason why I am asking
you to think about this and self-reflect
about this is because how you feel and
how you think is what's shaping your
results in terms of your English.
Imagine this. Imagine you have to take a
test
and you feel horrible and you're like,
"Oh my god, it's a test." You feel
nervous. You feel scared. You want to
throw up. And at the same time, when you
are taking the test and you're writing,
you're just telling yourself horrible,
negative things, you're terrible, you
can't do it, you're not good enough,
she's better than you, you're going to
fail.
Think how that makes you feel. Do you
think that you're going to do well in
your test?
Do you think that you're going to have a
positive outcome? Absolutely not. I'm
here talking to you about awareness.
Because if you do not become aware of
how you feel when you speak or study
English and what you think about, what
you tell yourself when you speak and
study English,
you are going to be very disconnected
from your results. Meaning, if you're
thinking and feeling something that you
don't want, you're going to achieve a
result that you don't want, you want to
be aligned with your thinking and your
feeling in order to get the results that
you want. And we are all here because we
want to have very positive results.
Meaning, we need to have positive
thoughts and positive feelings. So this
is the first thing I wanted to introduce
you to in the sense of being aware.
English doesn't start from opening up a
Cambridge book or thinking this is the
list of phrasal verbs I need to learn.
That's not where your journey starts.
Your journey starts with understanding
how you feel and how you think about
English and correcting that. Okay? So,
if you're sitting here saying, "Wow, I
feel horrible when I speak English. I
think I'm terrible." What do you think
I'm going to tell you that you need to
start doing? You need to start obviously
telling yourself positive things when
you're speaking English. And instead of
manifesting the negative feelings, start
manifesting the feelings of you having
won you having achieved your goals and
work on this image in order to begin
learning English. Now, the next thing I
want to speak to you about is an
awareness about where you are and what
it means to speak a new language.
[snorts] Again, a lot of the time we
have the misconception that speaking a
language is just a insignificant action
like putting my hand up. And we fail to
see the connection of speaking a
language with, you know, our emotions or
our image of our self. And I want to
talk to you about this because I found
that women who have a problem with
confidence and fear and self-doubt, when
I present this new perspective to them,
they say, "Wow,
that's what the problem is." And they do
a 360
degree turnaround. And it's almost like
in two lessons they start speaking
English confidently and they tell me,
"Gaia, I feel so much better. Thank
you." So I I don't say this just
because, you know, uh I I want to sound
cool or I want to sound like a great
teacher. I tell you with the utmost love
because I'm honestly here to help you.
And this has helped so many women before
you. So I really want to share it with
you. So I want to talk to you about
being aware of what it means to speak a
new language. Okay? Our language for us
is a form of identification. It's how we
formulate our image to the exterior
world. Think about the clothes you put
on, the way you do your hair, even your
makeup. You get dressed in a certain way
because you want to convey a message.
You want to show the world this is me.
This is my style. This is how I express
myself. Voice,
language is the exact same thing. The
way you speak, the words you use, the
the feeling you have about yourself when
you speak a language is the image you
convey to your exterior world. Now
imagine, think about when you're
speaking your native language. You feel
like you I know I speak English and I'm
like, "Oh yes, English. I'm Gia. I know
Gia has this tone of voice. Gia uses
these words. Gaia, you know, makes jokes
in this way." Now, think when you have
to speak English and you have that
feeling like you're a 2-year-old girl,
that you can't express yourself. You
feel weird. You feel like I I know the
words in my native language, but if I
have to say it in English, I don't know
what to say.
This all comes down to you not knowing
how to be you when you speak English.
You don't know. You don't know how to
express yourself. Not because of
vocabulary, not because of grammar,
because there's a there's something
that's not connected. You don't have a
relationship between you and the English
language. And this is what you all have
to take a minute to really breathe in
and become aware of. Right now, you're
blocked because of your English because
you haven't formed a relationship
between yourself and your new language.
You just simply don't know how to be you
when you speak English. It's like if you
have to wear something that's completely
different to your style. I always wear
black. Imagine I was in a big pink
dress. I would feel extremely
uncomfortable standing here speaking to
all of you women because
not me. How can I be wearing a pink
dress? I don't know how to I'm
embarrassed. I look weird. People are
judging me. That's exactly what goes
through your head when you have to start
speaking English. You have a disguise
on. So if you want to feel good when you
speak English and feel empowered and
positive and successful
that comes from forming a relationship
with the language and being aware that
that's where your blocks coming from.
Because if you recognize that you're
scared and you recognize that you have
difficulty speaking English, this is
fantastic.
But if the reason behind this you give
because you're not good enough or the
reason you think it's because you don't
know enough vocabulary, then you're you
are self-sabotaging yourself. You're not
giving yourself the opportunity to
really really grow and improve in the
English language. You need to understand
that this is just because you just don't
know how to be you yet in English.
That's it. But I'm going to teach you
how. Yes, I'm actually very happy that I
can teach you how because a lot of the
times we hear these, you know, big
motivating talks and then we say, "Okay,
but how do I do it?" It's very simple
and it's exactly why the master class is
here for you. You just have to practice
but not like practice randomly speaking
English. You need to practice talking
about your feelings in English. You need
to practice talking about your really
strong opinions like imagine your
political beliefs or your religious
beliefs or your beliefs about I don't
know how how your lifestyle should be
things that really touch you where
you're like no but that's not right it
has to be like this that is what you
need to start practicing in English if
you're having a bad day and you feel sad
sad and you just want to cry, you got to
learn and practice to do that in
English. If you're really angry, you
need to learn to express that anger in
English. If you're embarrassed, the same
thing in English. When you feel a very
big feeling inside, when you feel
overwhelmed
and you feel like I need to use my words
to express myself, that is when you have
to push yourself to do it in English.
Not to learn English, although it will
help you learn English, but to help you
begin to form a relationship between you
and English. Okay? Because then once
[clears throat] you do that, you'll feel
an emotional connection to the words.
You'll feel an emotional connection to
the sound of the language, to the
grammar structures, to the sentences, to
the expressions even. And that's when
you'll get to the point where you'll
feel like, okay, I am starting to feel
like myself when I speak English because
I know how to express myself. I know how
to make people see me for who I am
because I can see me for who I am when I
speak in English. Okay, this is an
amazing amazing thing to learn and I'm
very very happy that I can be here
sharing it with you because this simple
act of being aware
can and will completely change your
experience of learning English and truly
enable you to enjoy the journey and
enjoy the language. So, I'm very very
happy. I actually forgot there is one
more thing that I wanted to go through
and it was being aware of when you are
successful in English which goes hand
inhand with what I was just saying
before. Um a lot of the time we're very
very hard on ourselves in terms of you
know making progress with English and we
just think oh like no I spoke so badly
today I made a mistake God forbid I I
didn't reach any of my goals. You have a
big goal with your English and I know
all of you do. I want to ask you, how do
you expect to realize when you reach
that goal and how do you expect to
appreciate your success if you can't
appreciate the small success you're
making along the way? Maybe that you
know 5 minute conversation you had where
you didn't make a mistake. That's a
success. Or the conversation you had
where for one minute you felt like wow
it's possible I can speak English.
That's another success. Success doesn't
mean something, you know, enormous and
like shocking.
Success is even small. It could be a
slightest feeling or just because you
used a new word. But if you're not aware
of those small successes, you're going
to lose your motivation and you're going
to think, "Oh my god, it takes so long
to reach this goal. When am I going to
get there?" And then when you reach that
goal, you won't even realize it. Okay.
So, you need to start getting aware of
all the little things you're doing along
your journey to reaching your goal and
appreciating them and being aware of
these small successes in order to
realize when you know you've done it and
you can speak English and you can really
benefit and enjoy that moment. So, that
is everything that I wanted to talk to
you about awareness and the awareness
mindset. I hope you enjoyed it and get
started watching the other video now.
See you.
Hi ladies. So let's talk about goals and
fears. In this mindset video, I am going
to teach you how to overcome your fears
in order to reach your goals. Very
simple. Everybody speaks about this when
we're having to learn something new,
especially when we're learning English.
But I am not just going to teach you
about the importance of understanding
fear and goals. I'm going to teach you
how to actually do it. Because I found
along the way learning English and
learning everything else, everybody
tells you to be confident and everybody
tells you just don't think of the
negative stuff and think positive. And
it's great to a certain point because
you get all like, "Yeah, fantastic. I'm
just going to be positive. I don't have
any fears. Everything's fine." But then
when the fears do come and what do you
do? Like it's not enough to tell
yourself to be positive. It's not enough
to tell yourself not to have a fear. So
in the moment that it counts in the
critical moment when you're speaking in
English or you're doing a presentation
in English generally your fear wins and
generally you get stuck and then you
just start the whole process again. And
this happens because of the common
misconception that I believe it is that
you just like it everything and everyone
tells you to not have fear.
So you think that the only way that
you're going to achieve your goals and
feel confident is to, you know, for your
fear not to exist anymore.
But I want to tell you that that's not
going to happen. And that's not the
right way to think of it. And thinking
that you can only achieve your goals
once your fear is completely gone,
you're not going to get there the way
you want and you're probably going to
have a lot of difficulty.
So, scrap that idea and I want to
present to you a new idea and let's see
if it can help you because it definitely
helped me and it's also helped a lot of
the women that I've taught. So, I'm
quite sure it's going to help you. Now,
I want you to think of your of a
situation, okay, when you've felt really
uncomfortable speaking English. Okay?
think maybe I don't know you had a
conversation where you're like oh it's
so difficult or you're in a board
meeting or you were giving you know a
presentation at a medical congress for
example
and you know you're up there and you're
getting ready to speak English and you
start freaking out and what happens your
fear increases oh my god I'm so scared I
can't do it I'm going to make a mistake
everyone's judging me and you've got a
big fear monster here that's having a
party. Okay, he's loving you freaking
out.
And what's your natural reaction? What
have you been taught to do up until now?
Just be positive. Don't think of fear. I
shouldn't be scared. I can do it. I'm
not scared. Come on, you're stronger.
You're stronger.
That does that make you feel better?
Because when I do that, and I did do it,
it makes me feel anxious. It makes me
feel more scared because if I tell
myself don't be scared, I hear the word
scared and all I can think of is scared,
scared, scared. And my monster gets
bigger and bigger and bigger.
And that fear of anxiety I have, anxiety
of thinking I have to be positive, but
I'm not. And I have to be confident, but
I'm not. That feeds the fear of being
scared. and it feeds this big monster
and it just doesn't work. Okay, but
instead I want to give you another
option. Same scenario, big monster.
You're freaking out and you say, "Okay."
And you release the resistance and you
say, "You know what? I'm scared.
I have a scary monster here and he's
freaking out. I can't do anything about
it."
Take your energy away from here and move
it to the other side. Accept that your
monster's there. He can stay there. He's
having fun. Shift your focus to
something else.
Start thinking
of how amazing you will feel once you
achieve your goal. Once the conversation
is over, once you finished giving your
speech and everybody is clapping and
applauding you, think of how incredible
you will feel when you see the other
person speaking to you and they're truly
engaged and interested by what you're
saying. How proud will you feel? You'll
feel like you've accomplished something.
Close your eyes. Think of that feeling.
Think of a goal you have in terms of
your English or think of a fear that you
had and twist the perspective and start
thinking. Imagine that it wasn't a fear.
Imagine it went completely perfectly and
the small talk wasn't awkward. The small
talk was interesting for example and
everybody in the board meeting stood up
and they applauded you and they
congratulated you for your English. They
complimented you for your English. Let
those thoughts roll around in your mind.
And now become aware of how you feel.
Do you feel calmer? Do you feel a bit
more excited? You feel like, "Oh my god,
I can't wait for this to happen." You
feel powerful and strong and like, "Oh,
I don't even need Guy's English class.
I've got it. I'm confident."
That is a big difference from telling
yourself to not be scared, right?
anxiety,
strength, okay, fear, power. It's a very
big difference.
What you've done
is you've let go of the fear by letting
go of the resistance by saying, "Okay,
I'm scared. It's fine. It can stay
there." And you've shifted your focus to
something better to an idea that makes
you feel good. and all of a sudden those
feelings of anxiety aren't there
anymore.
So when you're in the moment of feeling
so scared and blocked and whatever
negative thing about your English, just
accept the feeling and be like, "Okay, I
can't do anything about it." And shift
your focus to imagining if that
situation wasn't the way you think it is
and it was successful. Start manifesting
those feelings and then give energy to
those feelings. Make those feelings
bigger. Feel them throughout your whole
body even though the reality might not
match it yet. Because what's going to
happen is a shift. Okay? You're going to
see this big fear slowly, slowly get
weaker and weaker. And this good,
amazing, powerful feeling is going to
get higher and higher. Whatever you give
your energy to will grow. If you give
your energy to don't be scared, be
confident. You have to be better. Oh my
god, I'm freaking out. Those feelings
will grow. If you give your energy to
I'm successful, I feel amazing. I'm so
confident. I can't believe that you know
this goal I reached. That feeling is
going to get better. And this very
simple technique is how you in moments
of difficulty are going to make your
goals bigger than your fears. Remember I
didn't say eliminate your fears. Okay?
Make your goals bigger than your fears
because by making goals bigger, fears
are smaller and we're no longer
controlled by them. Okay? I can't tell
you that you will never have a fear
again about speaking English. Okay? It
would be great. It would help me sell
the master class if I had a perfect
little magic pill that said, "Oh, you'll
never have a fear again." What I can
tell you and what I can teach you is how
to minimize those fears so they no
longer control you so you can start
reaching your goals and feeling great
about learning English and speaking
English.
So that is exactly what I wanted to go
through with you today in this mindset
of making your goals bigger than your
fears. Um do reflect on it. Maybe watch
this video a few times cuz there's a lot
of information there and I hope that
it's beneficial. I'll see you next time.
Next mindset ladies we're going to be
speaking about is how English is a tool
and to start thinking about English as
an instrument,
a software,
a technique or thing that allows you to
do bigger and better things like a
computer, like the internet, like
sending emails. This is how I want you
to start thinking about your English
because right now English is
a big scary monster that wants to
destroy your life. [laughter] Not
literally, but I know that it is not the
most positive thing right now in your
mind. And I want to change that idea.
Now, I want to introduce you to a
concept that is going to really help you
when you're having to communicate in
English particularly, you know, when
you're at work, when you're having
English conversations, when you're face
to face with English and you need to use
it. I want you to think again using the
mindset of awareness of when you're, you
know, when you're speaking English, what
are you thinking about? Okay. Now, if
you haven't done the awareness, you
know, mindset video, you're probably
still thinking all your negative
thoughts. But once you've got your
negative thoughts out of the way, think
about what you're thinking about in
English,
are you thinking about, you know, having
to connect with the person you're
speaking to? Are you thinking of ways um
you can make them more engaged in the
conversation? ways that you can form a
connection, empathy, um, understanding,
comprehension,
or are you thinking of your English? Are
you thinking of the vocabulary you use,
the grammar, uh, showing the person that
you're fantastic at speaking English?
See, a lot of the time, most of the time
when you're learning English,
you think everyone's your teacher
because, well, you you learn English
generally at school
and that's your first contact with the
language. A person like myself that
says, "Let me hear you speak English."
Oh, that's right. That's wrong. Not so
good. So what happens is when you go off
in real life and you speak to native
speakers, you just have the image that
oh my god, it's my teacher. They're
judging me. They're testing me. They're
analyzing how good is my English. And
what result do you think you produce
from that? What how do you act in
[clears throat] that situation? Well,
you're the perfect student. You try to
use fantastic complex sentences, idioms,
phrasal verbs, advanced vocabulary. And
what does that normally, you know, do to
the quality of your language? When we
mix it with the fear of speaking
English, you've built the expectation
to use complex everything
plus the fear of, "Oh my god, I'm not
good enough to speak English."
What you produce and what comes out of
your mouth can be a little bit of a
disaster. it can it's going to be quite
you know confusing or long or strange
sentences
and it's happened so many times with you
girls you know when I've taught you or
those of you who I've taught in the
lessons and you say to me that like you
try to express an idea and I'll correct
you and you think oh that's so simple
why didn't I think of that it's just
three words but I told you three
sentences to express that idea And I
say, "Yeah, I know." And they say, "Oh,
but it's because you're a teacher.
You're native. You know how to speak
English." Yeah, of course that helps.
But it's just because of what I'm
thinking and what you're thinking. More
importantly, when you're speaking in
English, you want to impress people. So,
you're entering all of your English
communication and conversations with
this idea that you have to impress the
person you're speaking to, and you're
being selfish.
I know it doesn't feel like you're being
selfish cuz you don't feel good, but
you're being selfish in the sense that
you're just thinking about what you're
doing. And a conversation is not about
that. A conversation is about connection
with another person. It's about forming
relationships on coming up with new
ideas, experiences.
This is a conversation. And it's not
about proving how good your English is.
And unfortunately
because of the way, you know, a lot of
you have learned English, you see
everybody as a teacher and you see
English as this
big thing that you have to, you know,
show people that you're so good at. This
really interrupts the way that you speak
English. Another thing that still you
know in terms of you know understanding
English as a tool and not as this scary
monster that we need to use to impress
people is the status you've given to
English. English today like right now in
this minute is literally a status symbol
and I tell you as an English teacher you
know I I love English. I want to teach
English but it has become a trend and a
status symbol where people have begun
and especially in the business world
measuring ability based on English. A
lot of the times when you're having to
do something in English,
maybe you're at work, maybe I don't
know, you're you're having to speak to
your friend, you measure your ability in
doing that task based on how good you
are at English. This is so
counterproductive. Imagine you're at
work and you are a special specialist,
you know, programmer and you, you know,
you've gone to the best university. Um,
you know, all of the latest software,
you've been awarded for your abilities
and now you have to work in an
English-speaking environment.
What happens so many times is this
amazing person that is so super super
qualified starts to doubt their ability
professionally because their English
isn't good enough.
Your English isn't a measurement of your
overall abilities.
If you make mistakes in English, if
you're not perfect in English, it
doesn't mean that you're not good at all
of the other things that you're doing.
English is a tool. And so many times I
teach students who tell me that their
English has to be 100% perfect in order
to then continue their life. and they
make English their goal instead of the
job they want. They make English their
goal instead of moving to an
English-speaking country. They make
English their goal instead of
making new friends. English isn't your
goal.
English is the software you need to
learn how to use in order to reach your
goal.
Okay?
When you're speaking English, if you
don't understand this, you put so much
importance, expectation, and pressure
on your English, which limits you from
being able to go off and actually reach
your goals. You need to start seeing
English as a tool, not the definite goal
of your life. And until you do that,
that you're going to feel that I'm never
good enough. And you're going to have
those uncomfortable,
awkward conversations where you feel
like you give these big, long, strange
sentences without just getting straight
to the point and making the other person
understand you. You see, a lot of
students ask me about fluency and they
ask me about being a C1 level and they
say, "Oh, G, you know, how many words do
I need to know to be fluent?" And how
many words do I need to know to be, you
know, an advanced C2 level? I think,
okay, that's great. They're really good
goals, but fluency and being advanced in
English isn't about what you check off
[snorts]
on paper according to Cambridge or
according to the IELS test. It's about
how effective you communicate,
how well you engage in conversation and
transmit messages and information.
Because at the end of the day, that's
why we're using English. That's why
everybody now has to learn English for
work because we need to spread
information. We need to move ahead. We
need to invent new ideas. is we need to
collaborate. We need to work on new
projects. English is the tool that
unifies everyone in order to do that.
English isn't the goal. Okay? So, I
really want you to start thinking about
this because it's something that is
going to reshape the way you're speaking
English. Think of think of your
conversations. Think who do I think
about? Do I think of me or do I think of
the person I'm speaking to? Am I trying
to impress them? Am I more concerned
about my pronunciation than if the
person's understood? Where where's my
head at? Okay, you need to re-evaluate
this because you can have the best
pronunciation, the best grammar, but if
you can't transmit a message, if you
can't make me understand how you feel,
then you failed. Because the point of
communication is understanding.
And you're only going to transmit that
understanding if you start approaching
your, you know, connection and your
experience with the English language the
same way you do with your native
language. Think of the other person.
Don't think of yourself. It's not an
English test. Okay? Remember, keep this
in your mind. English is just a tool.
It's something you need to learn in
order to do bigger and better things in
your life. It is not your end goal and
your final result. You want to do many
amazing things and English helps you do
them, okay? It's not the final thing.
Now, I hope that you enjoyed this
mindset. This again was quite
complicated, so you probably want to
watch the video a few more times. But um
I hope that you started seeing some
light bulbs going off and it's really
starting to help you find a new
perspective when you're having to you
know study and speak English. So enjoy.
Okay ladies, now it's time to talk about
the time mindset. Time is an important
thing because I guess it's time that
decides when and what you can do and
especially in regards to English. Time
isn't always so kind. So English
funnally is one of the most crucial
things for all of us, right? It's so
urgent, but at the same time, it's seen
as a luxury, as a hobby, as something
you do in your free time, which which is
quite interesting because something that
has so much urgency theoretically in
practice is, you know, given the same
importance as, I don't know, maybe going
for a walk or doing that exercise that
you really should do, but you just can't
find the time. So, that's why I want to
talk to you about time because I want to
make sure that you've got your head
screwed on the right way when you're
thinking about how you're going to
manage your studies and divide your time
in the masterclass program for your
English. Now, I know that we're all
really busy. I mean, I'm a mother
myself. Uh I have a little girl. I work.
I have a family. It it gets crazy.
And it's really easy, and I do it all
the time myself, but it's really easy to
find the excuse that, oh, I really want
to do it, but I don't have time. I
personally really want to do yoga, but I
don't have time. I really want to start
running, but oh, I just don't have time.
And I was okay with this excuse. I was
okay with this excuse even for some of
my students for a while until I realized
that that's actually not the case and I
watched this incredible TED video and I
shared it on the Facebook group and also
I think on the Facebook page. So if you
are interested go through and have a
look. If you can't find it I'll tag you
with it. And this video opened my eyes
in regards to the concept of time. And
it's a very simple simple idea that this
woman expresses. And it's the fact of
it's not that you don't have time. It's
just that what you want to do is not
your priority. And this made a light go
off. And I thought, wow, priority.
And look at the start it I had a
difficulty being open to this new
mindset because I was proud and I said
no but you know I do everything that I
can do and it's not that it's not a
priority I just I don't have time I have
a 2-year-old I'm busy I work once my ego
[laughter]
went away and I was able to truly
reflect I thought this is incredible and
this is going to help my ladies learn
English because English is one of those
things we don't have time for. But it's
not because we don't have time. It's
just because we haven't made it a
priority.
Now, this TED video gives a very
interesting example.
and she speaks about one of her friends
who had a very busy schedule and she
wanted to join a pottery class but she
couldn't because she didn't have enough
time and she only needed 1 hour a week
but wherever she looked she couldn't
find the time to do it. Finally, what
happened to her was she had a problem
with her plumbing.
And what was supposed to be a minor
problem turned into a week-long problem
where she had to find seven extra hours
in her week in order to stay at home and
supervised the plumber while he fixed
her water system. Now, let me remind
you, the same woman before was trying to
find 1 hour a week for pottery class,
but she didn't. But she was able to find
seven hours for a leaking pipe. Why?
Because it's simple. The pipe was an
emergency. Her house was flooded. You
can't stay with water in your house. So
what happens in our list of things to
do?
That becomes number one. And magically
we find the time priority. Her pottery
class wasn't her priority. the leaking
pipe obviously naturally was her
priority. Now, I'm not telling you that
English has to be your number one
priority over every single thing that
you're doing in your family, but it does
have to be a priority. And I want you to
start to reflect and think about, you
know, your daily routine. Think about
where your time is spent. And I did this
exercise with my students and one of my
students, Leiz, took this so seriously
and I was so proud of her and she really
analyzed and she found some shocking
results and she used this to maximize
and really start, you know,
understanding how to use her time
efficiently. It's something that's very,
very powerful because we have the idea
that we're busy because we're always
moving. But when you break down your
day, don't look at the hours. Look at
the minutes and the seconds that you
spend doing particular tasks and ask
yourself, how many minutes a day do I
spend scrolling through Instagram?
What do I do when I first open my eyes
in the morning? Do I reach out my phone
and scroll through Facebook? And in your
mind say, "Yeah, but you know," you
might say, "Oh, it's nothing. It's only
a few minutes." Like, yeah, right. is if
I'm going to find time to do English
then no but you find 2 minutes plus 1
minute plus 5 minutes maybe plus half an
hour all of this time adds up that's all
free time that you were probably wasting
or not using productively
that once English becomes a priority you
use that time for your English
think about what you're doing in the car
in the morning I
We all live in big, you know, busy
cities. You sit in the car in traffic.
And generally when we're sitting in the
car in the middle of traffic, we're
complaining about traffic. 10 minutes,
half an hour, sometimes even an hour if
you're in Rome complaining about
traffic.
But change your perspective.
It's an opportunity.
It's time that you can be using for
something that is your priority. So, is
it your priority to complain about the
traffic or is it your priority to
practice your English? See, [snorts]
when something becomes a priority, you
see it everywhere. It's like when you
buy a new car. You buy a red car and all
of a sudden you're so aware of the red
car. You see it everywhere because it's
all you think about. Happens to me all
the time when I buy a pair of shoes or a
piece of clothing. I I get all happy and
I'm like, "Yeah, I really like this new
piece of clothing." And then I see
everybody else wearing it. The same is
about your priority. If your mind is
switched into an English priority,
whenever you have free time, you
automatically link it to your English
and say free time, I can learn English.
That is how you are going to find the
time to learn English. It's not about
having to sacrifice a whole day and
think, oh no, I have to study English
for 2 hours and read a book. how boring.
That's not how you're going to study
English. You need to learn smart. Okay?
Organize your priorities and ask
yourself, is English my priority?
What am I spending all my time on? And
just make the decision to make English
your priority. And the two will connect,
your time and your English. And you will
find that you will have too much time to
be able to study all the English that
you want. Okay, it's very very powerful
and I know that this will make a
difference. And I tell you this because
the masterclass program, it's very
straightforward. It's been designed to
make English as accessible
as possible for all types of women from
students to mothers to young adults. But
sometimes
the things that require the least of
your attention or that seem the most
straightforward get bumped to the end of
the list because you think, "Oh, it's
easy. I'll find time for that." It won't
happen. Make the choice to make English
your priority in order to get the most
of this master class and your whole
experience with English. All right,
guys. I hope you enjoyed this video. Um,
this takes you to the very end of, you
know, the series of of the series of
videos in the starter kit. Um, I would
recommend you re-watching all of them if
you can, just to really absorb the
information. And when you're ready, you
can go ahead and complete the questions
in the PDF that just help you reflect
back on everything we've gone through in
these videos to really start
understanding, you know, where you're
going to place your intention, your
goals, understanding your time, and
really understanding how to build your
relationship with the English language.
All right, guys. I hope you enjoyed, and
I will see you in the English lessons.
See you later.
