Hey, I'm Sia, your real life English

0:02

fluency coach, and today we are bringing

0:05

back another one of our classic lessons.

0:08

And trust me, this one is packed with

0:11

gold. If you've been learning English

0:12

for a while, you'll know that sometimes

0:15

progress doesn't feel linear. You might

0:18

have moments of big improvement, then

0:21

long plateaus where you wonder what

0:24

you're missing. So, in this lesson, I'm

0:26

bringing you Andrea breaks down the

0:29

practices that separate intermediate

0:32

learners from truly advanced speakers

0:36

and how you can start closing that gap

0:39

right now. What's great about this one

0:42

is that it's not about memorizing more

0:45

grammar or studying harder. It's about

0:48

shifting the way you listen, speak, and

0:52

think in English. So, let's jump into

0:54

it.

0:55

Maybe when you were a beginner, you felt

0:57

like your English improved really fast.

1:00

In just a few months, your English got

1:03

better and you started to feel more

1:05

confident. But now, for some reason, you

1:07

feel stuck at intermediate level. No

1:10

matter what you do, your English never

1:12

seems to get better. Maybe you feel

1:15

frustrated because while you can watch

1:17

movies in English, you still need the

1:19

subtitles. Maybe you understand every

1:23

single word in a sentence, but you feel

1:25

lost because you can't understand the

1:27

actual meaning of that sentence. Or

1:30

maybe you have tried everything,

1:33

courses, books, methods, schools, but

1:37

nothing has worked. If you are an

1:39

intermediate learner who wants to break

1:41

free and finally get to an advanced

1:44

fluent level of English, stick around

1:46

because this video is for you. By the

1:49

end of this video, you will have a more

1:51

clear vision of what to do if you want

1:54

to take your English to a true advanced

1:56

level. You will learn the exact things

1:59

you should focus on in order to become

2:01

an advanced speaker of English. But

2:04

before we start, make sure you join our

2:07

2:24

>> WE'LL STOP FIGHTING. We promise.

2:27

>> Prove it.

2:28

>> Yeah. Kiss and make up.

2:29

>> WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET, BUT WE'VE

2:31

OPENED UP A DIALOGUE.

2:33

>> Not good enough. Kiss.

2:37

>> Have you ever experienced this? You're

2:40

watching your favorite TV series with

2:42

subtitles in English and you can

2:44

understand it just fine. Maybe you don't

2:47

understand every single word, but you

2:49

can follow the story and enjoy the show.

2:52

However, the minute you remove the

2:54

subtitles to test your listening,

2:56

something terrifying happens. You can't

2:58

understand anything. Suddenly, you feel

3:01

like a beginner again, or worse, you

3:03

feel like an impostor, like someone who

3:05

still doesn't know English even after

3:07

studying for years.

3:09

What is going on here? Believe it or

3:11

not, every intermediate learner

3:13

experiences this, and that's absolutely

3:16

normal. It's part of the process when

3:18

learning another language. In time, your

3:21

listening skills will catch up with your

3:23

reading skills. If you continue to study

3:25

and don't give up, but let me give you a

3:28

couple of tips that can help you

3:29

overcome this faster. Listen to English

3:32

more often. I know this may sound

3:35

obvious, but it's true. Maybe you've

3:37

gotten used to always having subtitles

3:39

to read, a transcript, or any kind of

3:41

visual aid to help you, but when was the

3:44

last time you only listened to English?

3:46

In your study routine, make sure you

3:49

include moments where you will just

3:51

listen to the language without any help

3:53

or visual material. Podcasts are

3:56

excellent for this. Close your eyes and

3:58

simply listen. If you do this regularly,

4:01

you will start to become less and less

4:03

dependent on subtitles and images. Learn

4:06

about connected speech. Connected speech

4:08

is how we describe when native speakers

4:11

reduce, cut, or connect sounds when they

4:14

speak. This is absolutely crucial. Make

4:17

sure you study connected speech and

4:19

learn about the main sounds and letters

4:21

that are reduced, cut, or connected in

4:23

spoken English. Also, it's important

4:26

that you train your ear to identify

4:28

these patterns. If you want to get

4:30

started with connected speech, we highly

4:32

recommend you watch this lesson about

4:34

how to cut sounds when you speak

4:37

English.

4:42

So, what do you believe that you can

4:44

bring to the table if we take you on?

4:51

Could you repeat the question, please?

4:54

Let's analyze this question. What do you

4:57

believe you can bring to the table if we

4:59

decide to take you on? If you're an

5:02

intermediate learner, you probably

5:04

understand every single word of this

5:06

question. Let's look at each word

5:08

individually. What do you believe you

5:12

can bring to the table if we decide to

5:15

take you on? These are pretty easy

5:18

words, aren't they? However, can you

5:21

understand the meaning of this question?

5:24

Here

5:28

we have an idiom to bring to the table

5:31

and a phrasal verb to take you on. To

5:34

bring something to the table means to

5:36

contribute something of value to a

5:38

discussion, project, etc. In this

5:41

context of a job interview, the

5:43

interviewer wants to know what

5:45

contributions the potential employee

5:47

will make if she gets the job. This

5:50

phrase is an idiom. An idiom is a phrase

5:53

or expression that can't be understood

5:55

literally. If you feel stuck in your

5:57

English, learning idioms can be a

5:59

gamecher for you. These are expressions

6:02

that natives use regularly. By learning

6:04

more idioms, you will be able to better

6:07

understand natives and sound more like a

6:10

native yourself. To take someone on is a

6:13

phrasal verb that means to hire or

6:15

employ someone. In other words, to give

6:18

someone a job. If we rephrase this

6:20

question, we have something like, "What

6:23

contributions can you bring to our team

6:26

if we decide to give you the job?" Much

6:29

better, right? Notice that while the

6:31

idea expressed in both versions is the

6:34

same, you would probably understand one

6:37

better than the other. This is why

6:38

learning more idioms and phrasal verbs

6:41

can be the difference between becoming

6:43

an advanced speaker of English or

6:46

staying forever stuck at intermediate

6:49

level. If you focus your efforts on

6:51

improving your vocabulary with idioms,

6:54

phrasal verbs, and groups of words, word

6:57

chunks, you will definitely feel that

6:59

your English is getting better again. By

7:01

the way, with all these advanced English

7:03

expressions like catch up with, bring

7:06

something to the table and game changer,

7:09

I know it can feel frustrating trying to

7:12

remember and use them if you wanted to

7:15

speak naturally. It's not enough to just

7:18

take note of them. You need to practice

7:20

them until they are automatic. Well,

7:22

with the hundreds of lessons in our app,

7:24

you can learn new useful expressions and

7:27

phrasal verbs like these every week and

7:30

never forget them with our magic

7:36

7:45

that easy. So, if you are ready to get

7:48

7:51

fluent native like English, give the

8:04

I've tried everything, but I feel like

8:07

my English is not getting better no

8:09

matter what I do. I think I'm going to

8:12

give up. Maybe you're discouraged

8:14

because you feel like you have tried

8:16

everything, but for some reason, your

8:18

English still feels stagnant. In the

8:20

last part of this video, I will give you

8:22

one very specific topic you can study in

8:25

order to start to see progress in your

8:27

learning. Again, study word formation.

8:31

There are four different types of words

8:32

in English. Nouns, verbs, adjectives,
