hey in today's English lesson I'm going to give you four tips four tips that will help you communicate clearly in English and start speaking like a native English speaker are you ready well then I'm teacher Tiffany let's Jump Right In all right tip number one you need to simplify your idea this is something that I encourage all of my students to do and I want to encourage you as well you see simplifying your idea is one of the first keys to speaking English like a native English speaker look at Point number one in order for
your idea to stick or the person listening to you to understand and follow along you need to make your idea as simple as possible think about it I'm teaching you English I'm your English teacher my goal is to help you master this English language and finally speak English like a native but English is very complicated so my job is to simplify the ideas simplify the lessons and in order for you to speak like me you must also do the same the next thing is you must break your idea down until you get to the core
of your idea think about an apple I love apples and I have eaten an apple every day for so many years because I love apples now some days I miss eating the Apple but usually I eat apples now at the center of an apple is a core the center the main portion of the Apple so when we say the core of your idea you want to make sure you're giving the most important information figure out what you're trying today to say I'm going to leave that in and actually deliver that information that message to the
individual simplify your idea and then come up with one simple and impactful statement or sentence remember when you're trying to speak in English like a native it's important for you to organize your thoughts and as you organize your thoughts you'll figure out the core of your idea and you'll figure out the most important thing you need to tell the person listening to you and you should be able to break that down into a simple sentence or statement for example in this lesson I am teaching you I'm giving you four tips that will help you communicate
in English like a native English speaker one sentence one statement first simplify your idea makes sense right okay let's move on to tip number two tip number two is you need to prove your idea this is something that I love teaching my students how to do again proving your idea you need to let the person listening to you know that you actually can support your thoughts this is something that many English Learners are not taught in their own countries in other courses and other books or other institutes but it's something that native English speakers we
are taught this in school when I was in high school when I was in elementary school when I was in college I was taught how to do this so this actually helps you support your idea and in essence becomes the foundation when you are able to support your idea it literally shows that you are a fluent English speaker you're able to really organize your thoughts and ideas and communicate well in English this also helps you to give Clarity it gives Clarity to your idea it makes it clear and easy to understand I want you to
think about this have you ever been listening to someone and they start talking right they're talking to you and you're following along but then all of a sudden instead of hearing words all you hear is you don't know what they're talking about you know exactly what I'm saying right that happens when a person has not really provided a clear idea and is not supporting or proving their idea instead they're talking about random things now you as an English Learner in order for you to communicate clearly and speak like a native English speaker you must prove
your idea because this will provide Clarity for your idea and help the person understand it also helps to round out your idea it basically comes full circle the person listening to you here's your idea then after you prove it there's this response ah that makes sense similar to what's happening to you now as you're watching this English lesson I'm breaking this down again four tips to help you communicate in English and I'm proving it by giving you different examples by helping you understand the power of following these tips and tip number two proving your idea
makes sense right okay let's move on to tip number three this is very important connect your idea to an emotion this is another one that I love so native English speakers we have been taught our entire lives throughout school and even in adulthood how to connect our lives to any topic how to connect our emotions to any topic this is a part of speaking clearly in English communicating in English and speaking English like a native for example before I get to this point what do I do at the end of each English lesson you know
Story Time ache right and you look forward to the stories I tell you right at the end of the lessons I'm connecting to you with an emotion the story is either a happy story or a sad story or an inspirational story I'm connecting the lesson to an emotion for you in order to communicate in English you need to connect your idea to an emotion this is important point one this is important because your idea will stay in the listener's mind if they care about it for example I know that you get frustrated when you're not
able to express yourself like a native English speaker I know you get sad or upset when you're trying to speak in English and the words just won't come out I understand that so when I'm teaching you in English when I'm teaching you English in English I am aware of what you are going through because I went through the same thing when I was studying Korean just right there when I told you just now that I experienced the same thing you are experiencing right now suddenly there is this connection ah Tiffany understands me I can follow
her lessons because she knows what I'm going through I connected my lesson my idea to an emotion when you do this you will become a better Communicator in English and start sounding like a native English speaker the next thing is when someone cares about something when the person listening to you cares about what you're saying they pay attention to it more why do you watch my English lessons because there's a connection I've never met you in person but there's this connection we have right and that connection leads you to come back and watch these lessons
because I truly care about you and you recognize that hey teacher Tiffany really cares about me and wants to help me improve my English there's a connection this is all part of speaking English like a native communicating clearly and well and effectively in English the other thing is by connecting your idea to the listeners emotions you inadvertently answer the why question in their mind it should say the not they the why question in their mind think about this when you're speaking to someone you're explaining something to them right you're helping them understand your idea and
your emotions right well when you're doing that the person as they're listening to you the moment you connect to their emotions the moment you realize hey this is what they're feeling and you connect to them they want to listen more and you're answering the question in their head why should I listen to this individual why should I spend my time with this individual listening to them when you answer that by connecting to their emotions everything goes much better so again three tip number three connect your idea to an emotion now tip number four is just
as important tip number four share your examples for your idea again share your examples for your idea earlier we talked about proving your idea now you're going to give examples you're basically painting this picture in the mind of the person listening to you they get to see your idea in their mind in their imagination right so this is important because your story or experience makes your idea more real when I talk to you about my experience in Korea studying Korean and learning Korean all of a sudden my lessons become more real ah Tiffany is not
just making this up she's experienced it before she's helping me and she's explaining or talking about her personal experience for you tip number four when you share examples for your idea you're sharing your personal experience which also helps the person connect to you another thing when someone hears your story they may also think about your idea more you're giving them more things to connect to you give them a story in their mind you give them your ideas you prove your ideas and now you're giving examples and all of these things are working in their brain
as you're talking and they're paying attention to you more you're communicating better in English share your experiences share your examples that connect to your idea Point number three by connecting your story to your idea your personal experience like story time you actually help The Listener understand it even more than before when you tell stories that are connected to the topic when you tell stories that help your idea be a bit more clear the person listening to you will literally understand even more here's the thing you want to speak English like a native English speaker you
want to communicate clearly in English it's not just about the words you learn or the Expressions you learn it's really about how you communicate how you express your ideas and how you think in English now I just gave you four tips today but if you want to continue studying with me and you really want to learn how to communicate like a native English speaker all you have to do is go to English fluencyplan.com again www.englishfluencyplan.com the link is in the description and I would love to be your English teacher forever helping you speak English like
a native English speaker I hope you enjoyed the lesson and I'll talk to you in the next one do it you still there you know what time it is here we go it's Story Time hey I said it's story time all right so today's story I'm going to connect to you right I'm going to give you an example I'm going to actually connect an emotion so I mentioned earlier that as an English learner sometimes you get frustrated sometimes you really get upset because you're not able to express yourself clearly right and sometimes you also feel
nervous I want to tell you about a time I felt nervous speaking in English so I actually this is when I was in college I was asked to give a sermon at my church now I don't have any problem speaking up front I don't have stage fright I've never had stage fright and this is something that's a blessing from God right I understand that many people have stage fright and are scared to stand up in public in front of others and speak but I don't have that fear so I said okay I'll definitely speak I'll
give the sermon at church so I did my research I studied I went through the Bible I found a topic I had my notes and everything was organized and I was praying I wanted to make sure the Holy Spirit moved as I gave the sermon so I prepared for a while I had everything written out all of my bullet points everything was organized right and the morning that I was supposed to give the sermon I woke up early I rehearsed I practiced looked in the mirror made sure everything was right and as I was practicing
all of a sudden my stomach began to turn like knots were in my stomach it felt like my intestines were just turning and my stomach made me Keel over I bent over and said oh my goodness something's wrong and I told my monster something's going on like my stomach is killing me I ran to the bathroom I came back to my room my stomach kept bothering me and I didn't know what was going on until I realized that I was nervous I was nervous because the message that I was going to preach was a very
deep message it was a message that would not be easy to deliver it was deep but it was not an easy message to deliver and without realizing it I had started to get nervous so I prayed I said God I need you to help me because I'm extremely nervous right now and when you're nervous you're not able to think clearly you've been there before right as an English learner when you're nervous words don't just come out right they don't come out the way you'd like them to come out you're not able to communicate clearly so
I prayed and I I got to church I went to the pastor's office you know we we went through the preliminaries of praying and getting everyone together and then we walked into the church and I was still praying Lord I need you to help me this nervousness came out of nowhere but Lord I need you to help me the service was going on we had music we had announcements we had prayer everything was going on and I was still praying throughout the entire time and then it was my turn to go to the pulpit to
the front to deliver the sermon and as soon as I stood up at the pulpit I could feel God's presence and I immediately was calm and I preached the sermon and the sermon went well praise God everyone was blessed people came up to me afterwards and said man that sermon was amazing it was from God not from Tiff but the point is when I was nervous I wasn't able to think clearly but the moment I calmed down everything started to go smoothly so for you as an English learner you're going to have moments when you
feel frustrated when you feel nervous and when you are not able to say what you like to say in those moments stop calm down and then start again it's amazing how when you are calm you are able to speak and communicate in English so much better hope you enjoyed this story and I will talk to you in the next lesson
