Hi Sabrina. So glad to hear from you: someone in Algeria. Maybe you are the first Algerian to comment! Also interesting to hear about your surprise with the word "cooperation." Of course, it may be pronounced differently in other parts of the world other than the USA. Nonetheless, it is lovely to see your comment, and I hope videos here help you make some progress in English while still being entertained. Have a great day!

And I am always happy to read your comments. Also, if you ever have questions about English, just ask. I am happy to help. It is late here in South Korea. Have a good day and good night. Talk to you soon.

Let me know So i can learn about that🙇‍♀️ And...that is my question Thank you sooo...much Teacher Cal Can't wait for your answer🙇‍♀️❤❤❤ God bless you Teacher Cal 🙇‍♀️❤❤❤

Hello Nenny. Those are actually very good questions. However, the solutions are not quick or easy. Language learning is often slow and needs continuous practice and patience. Since the answers to your questions are quite often complicated, I may dedicate a video to each of your three questions. However, here is a little quick advice for each: 1. How can I memorize vocabulary so I will not forget? OPTIONS: Practice using vocabulary in realistic situations or within stories. It helps to connect words with other ideas. This is how we can recall words or names quickly because they are connected with things we are more familiar with. 2. How can I understand quickly spoken English? OPTIONS: Listen to English every day: Watch English movies, listen to English songs, or find English podcasts. Start with slow speech: Use resources like KZfaq to find videos with slower speech. Practice with subtitles: Watch shows with English subtitles first, then try without them. Repeat what you hear: Listen and try to repeat phrases and sentences. 3. How can I think in English instead of having to translate in my head? OPTIONS: Practice regularly: Try to speak or write in English every day, even if it’s just a little. Surround yourself with English: Change your phone and computer settings to English, and try to read or listen to English content. Use simple sentences: Start by thinking in simple English sentences and gradually move to more complex ones. Don’t worry about mistakes: The more you practice, the better you will get, and it’s okay to make mistakes. I hope this helps a little and I look forward to better answering these questions in future videos! ^^ - Cal

Great! There are a million phrasal verbs in English. I'll put another phrasal verb video on the list.

Thanks for the awesome comment! I'm glad you like the videos and the voice, even if I'm not part of "Bright Side."

You are one of my best students here! ^^

Happy that you liked it, Ms. Tranthihai.

Good luck to you!

@@HowItsSaid thank you.

Glad it was helpful!

You're welcome!

Ah. Then you may also like The Big Bang Theory TV show. ^^

Great to hear!

You are right! Howdy!! Glad you learned this new word. ^^

@@HowItsSaid Yes sir I'm so happy learn from you Thank you Indonesian said TERIMA KASIH 🙋‍♀️❤❤🙇‍♀️

OK

Glad you like them. Hello from South Korea!

In the afternoon, watch clips of your favorite English TV show. In the evening, write in your journal about you remember learning from the TV show. In the next morning, use ChatGPT to edit/correct your journal writing and reflect on those corrections.

Thank you! 😃

Thank you so much. ^^

It is in the description. But here it is: www.calhyslop.com/top20tvshows I hope that helps. ^^

That is a good question. First of all, it is okay if you fail to stick to a habit. That is normal. You do not need to be perfect. Also, it takes several weeks for something to become a habit. However, if you enjoy a YT video or channel somewhere else for learning English, I suggest sticking with it. Learning is a journey. Try not to think about the destination. Try enjoying the journey.

I'm so happy you understand 100%. Actually, I have had several students in my university courses who have been from Indonesia. I am happy to connect with you here!

@@HowItsSaid Thank you for having me 🙇‍♀️❤

@@NennyMariana Happy you are here!

@@HowItsSaid 🙇‍♀️❤

Thank you, Shito. Yes, I speak a little slowly because I usually teach university students English in South Korea. Therefore, I try to speak a little slower than my natural rate so it is easier to understand. I hope that helps! ^^

@@HowItsSaid thanky yes,it's very understandable! shito

@@HowItsSaid That's why i understand you sir Your slow intonation help us so much Thank you ❤🙋‍♀️

Thanks

Thanks for the comment. It may be a habit of mine to speak slower than normal since I regularly teach non-native English speakers.

Welcome!

Grammar is the last thing to worry about. I would focus more on learning new words and trying to listen and copy how English is spoken. You may pick up on grammar naturally that way. So, don't worry too much about grammar. ^^

Who likes grammar? Asians ?

You can just focus on the example sentences in the grammar book, ignoring all the theory and rules. By practising those sentences you’ll internalise all the grammar you need just like you did with your native language.

Glad it was helpful!

You are so welcome! ^^

Glad to hear that! ^^

I have seen most of these. Stranger Things is at the top of my list. Rick and Morty is great, too. However, it is more advanced in concepts and sarcasm. And Friends is a global favorite for English learning.

Sounds like a good idea. Should work easily for Spanish, too.

Sure. I would recommend The Crown, Sherlock, The IT Crowd, and Doctor Who.

Thank you! 😃
