for some other people to join so check this out we'll check it out later in the lesson as we wait for a couple more people to join us live I want to share my update I tweeted about this on my way here this morning there is a new video on the YouTube channel this is a new like grammar focused lesson I made a lesson about the word only so only it's an adverb but native speakers make mistakes with this like putting it in the wrong place in the sentence and so I made a lesson about this and I showed some sample sentences about like the positioning where to put the word only in a sentence to change the meaning this just went up like 12 hours ago so please check this out this is a really good grammar lesson for native speakers and for non-native speakers so please do check this out you can find it on the English class 101 YouTube channel I was I've been waiting for that one I'm into that topic okay so with that I think we're about five minutes in so I'm going to start but I am going to share the video myself as hope you do and then I am going to begin with a grammar grammar with a review of a goal setting so if you joined our first live stream this year I talked about this SMART goal setting concept so this is something we've talked about a few times on this channel and I'm going to slow down my speaking of it for goal setting I've talked about this this idea so it's called SMART goal setting because the first letter can we see it there the first letter of each word spells thanks spells smart smart SMA R T so to review like why is this important so I know I've seen your comments a lot of you writes like I want to speak English fluently or how do I speak like a native speaker and so on like that's my goal but the problem with goals like that is we can't track we don't know like am i fluent do I speak like a native speaker I don't know that so that's not a very good goal to have a SMART goal however is a goal that's very clearly defined so we know when we have achieved that goal so I want to review how to make a SMART goal and how to make a study plan for a SMART goal so let's begin these are key words for this lesson the first word for a SMART goal is a specific goal a specific goal is not I want to speak English fluently that is not specific a specific goal for example is like I want to learn 500 vocabulary words that's a very specific number that's a clear number 500 vocabulary words I want to give a presentation in English that's a very specific goal give a presentation in English I want to order a pizza in English if that's your goal cool that's a very useful skill so choose a very specific go what is the thing you want to do so I'm going to go through each point here some of you are already asking all of these I'm going to get to it we'll go one by one so this make sure your goal is specific it's clear there's a number or there's like one action you want to achieve okay second point measurable measurable so let's break this word down I've talked about this before here we have inside this word measure measure you can hear it so that means like when we measure something we see how long it is or maybe how much time it takes and we have the suffix Abel Abel Abel means something we have the ability to do we can do that thing so measurable means something we can measure something we can track so for example 500 vocabulary words this is measurable I know I've learned like 200 words 300 words 400 words 500 words I can measure how many words give a presentation I can measure the parts of a presentation if I want to I can say okay I made the beginning to my presentation I made the middle of my presentation I finished like the end of my presentation my whole presentation is finished so we can measure our progress so your goal should be specific and measurable those are two points the first two points okay let's go on to the next word achievable achievable so here again we have the same suffix by the way suffix I'm using this word suffix these are called suffixes suf sorry su FF IX a suffix I made a video about this on the YouTube channel a suffix is a group of letters that comes at the end of a word and it modifies it changes the meaning of the word so Abel is Suffolk's it means can were able to do something so achievable something achievable achieve means something like we can do it's possible it's attainable we can get it that's what achievable means so achievable here means we need to choose a goal that is possible for us to do so like a non achievable goal is like for example I want to speak English or I want to give a presentation in English tomorrow that's not achievable for most of us unless we're native speakers and even then maybe not but an achievable goal needs to be something that it's possible to do it is feasible so make sure your goal is achievable next point realistic realistic so a hint is here in this word real real so this is something that we can imagine and is also like useful for you I feel like it's important to make sure your goal is actually useful in some way for you so don't just give yourself like a crazy goal that's not going to help you or that's not going to be useful for your life make sure it's a realistic goal lest someone wrote what does timely mean timely timely means what is like what is your your schedule or your time frame time frame let's plane what is your time frame so a timely goal means you decide you choose your goal yes but you also choose a time period to finish your goal within so timely means you can finish the goal within like six months and it's a reasonable or a realistic amount of time to do your goal to cook like to achieve your goal so you need to consider all of these points when you set your goal somebody said I'd love to rewatch Pokemon EE English episodes three three Oh Dublin left sorry dubbed in English three episodes a week so that's a very specific goal nice one that's good so yeah send your goals in the chat maybe you can give other people some ideas that's good so this is the basis this is the foundation the basic points of making a smart goal so I've said a couple already like learn 500 vocabulary words that's pretty achievable then we can choose a time period to do that so like learn 500 vocabulary words in six months for example that's a very realistic achievable goal or give a presentation in English in 2019 learn to do that so I'm going to talk about study plans for achieving goals like these in the second part and the third part of today's lesson so with this in mind try to try to send your goal I think that's a really good idea send your goal in the chat and we can take a look and see what your goals are and maybe we can talk about how to make them even better so I'm going to take a quick break and then we're going to continue to talking about sample plans so I talked about that first goal 500 vocabulary words so if you are a beginner if you're just starting your English Studies or if you're not sure about your English Studies we have so many things that are perfect for a 500 vocabulary word goal like if you want to pick up vocabulary words for your everyday life I show these all the time are we gonna okay so I show these all the time these are the PDFs that you can find there's this banner here you can find these below the video on youtube or above the video on Facebook these these are free to download but these have vocabulary words for everyday life this one is about family and phrases to about your hobbies so like shopping for example there are some words you can use in the office relating to business and so on I don't like that one for this lesson there's others about food I'm a big fan of food so these are some great free resources you can check out if you are interested in bumping up in leveling up your vocabulary and it's not just vocabulary there are phrases on these PDFs to each one each topic is two pages so you can take a look at the topic that's interesting to you and start there and then download all the others as well so please check those out you can find these below the video on youtube or above the video on Facebook everything is at English class 101.com okay great if you're just joining today we're talking about how to make an English study plan for 2019 so I started today's lesson by talking about SMART goals how to make a SMART goal now I'm going to go to some sample goals first I'm going to talk about a beginner goal then I'm going to talk about an advanced or an intermediate goal so some of you are sending your goals fantastic good idea someone said my goal is to watch you every Wednesday to learn more cool that's pretty specific nice and once a week great and thank you for watching others I saw another one someone wrote 31 up to get over 900 points on the TOEIC test whoa good luck that's a challenge other ones oh I'm on on Facebook ask is this a worksheet no this is not a worksheet it's not something to write on this is a vocabulary of like a vocabulary reference sheet so here it's hard to see there's vocabulary words on each one vocabulary words and phrases there to check so this is just for reference like you could this on a wall if it's like a topic that's important to you or just put it on your phone to study from time to time okay good so send your goals throughout the lesson we can check it out all right with that let's continue to the first sample study plan so I want to begin with a beginner sample study plan so let's imagine as I said your goal as a beginner is to study 500 vocabulary words in like six months or something like that so you're just starting so this is your goal learn 500 vocabulary words and let's choose six months in six months okay so if this is my goal the next question is how do I do that like what do I need to do I know I need vocabulary words but how do I get the vocabulary words so a couple of ideas these are not the only ideas just a couple first you could check out our videos I enjoy them but you could use our videos if you like watching videos watching media on YouTube or other things our top word series is good for vocabulary we introduced 10 vocabulary words or phrases in each lesson so you can choose a topic that you're interested in and pick up those vocabulary words but make sure if you're using videos if you're using top words for example for your studies make sure that you are using the words yourself so don't just listen to me like listen to me I hope but at the same time like make sure you like are writing down the words so pick up the words the new words write them down make your own sentences with them so don't just listen to the words you need to use them as well so if you're watching the video pool that's great but make sure that you are creating something with those words that's an important stuff so not just input but also output second idea is to choose things in your everyday life choose things in your everyday life and check a dictionary so check a dictionary to get the word in English so for example if I know that I need to use the word marker in my everyday life a lot I can check a dictionary and find the word in my native language or the rather the language I'm studying and then I know that this is a word for me to study so I choose 10 objects or maybe 10 actions every day and I check those words in a dictionary and those are my 10 words for the day for example so these are a couple of ideas that you can use there are of course like flashcard options you can just choose a deck a deck means like a group of cards a deck of flashcard pre-made already prepared flashcards for your studies so there are many different ways you can choose your vocabulary words so yeah this is kind of step one then after you choose your goal where are where are my words going to come from so these are a couple of ideas for that then after that how do you study how do you study so here's a sample study plan so I said in my example there in my example just now like I'm going to choose ten words a day or like in top words there are 10 words per video so I'm going to watch one episode every day so if that's ten words every day and I decide to study five days a week that gives me 50 new words every week so this is another point make sure you're studying new words don't only like review so make sure you're putting new things into yours like into your studies so if top words is too easy for you start looking for something that's a little bit more challenging so if I'm studying 10 words every day five days a week cool also inside the study plan maybe like one time or two times a week you review the things you've learned so don't just study one time make sure you're reviewing things regularly to keep them fresh in your mind so ten words a day times five days a week there's fifty words in one week so this doesn't seem like a lot of work it's like it you just have to continue doing that for a period of time for example 50 words a week times 10 weeks is 500 new vocabulary words so 10 weeks that's it to learn 500 new vocabulary words our goal was six months so this should be no problem 10 weeks for 500 words so if you break down your goal in this way like 500 words seems like a lot but if you break it down into smaller pieces it becomes much easier to understand and to approach those small parts so this is just one idea if you're if your goal is to learn vocabulary words this is an idea for how you can do that so I know a lot of you are working on improving your vocabulary and your grammar so you could do this for grammar too like I want to learn 50 grammar points you can do the same thing so this is a good plan I think for a beginner some of you are writing my goal is to speak like a native again we talked about these SMART goals at the beginning of the lesson how do you know when you speak like a native like it's really hard to know that make your goal specific make your goal measurable you can't track whether or not you speak like a native so make a goal that is clear to you that you know you can achieve start by making a good goal okay other goals I'm looking in the chat I don't see someone says how many times a week do you have this class we do this class this live class one a week nine p.m. Eastern Standard Time that's New York City time of course we have many other lessons on YouTube and Facebook throughout the week nice one Andre on YouTube wrote one of my goals is to learn one phrasal verb every day nice one that's a good goal that's a good goal that's a lot of work for sure great good luck with that nice okay I will take a break and then we'll go to a more advanced goal idea study idea rather so if you missed it I talked earlier about the free things that we have the banner is here and you can find the link for this stuff below the video on YouTube above the video on Facebook but as I just talked about if your goal is to learn vocabulary words this year if you want to improve your vocabulary or if you want to even just improve your language in terms of more natural phrases picking up some everyday phrases not just words you can check out the PDFs the free pdf that we have on the English class 101 website so I showed some of these before but I know lots of you are working on improving your English for jobs or for jobs and for travel so the travel one this says USA but on the back there are phrases you can use for english-speaking countries in general especially this middle part here I know it's hard to see sorry but this could be a good one if you are traveling to an english-speaking country and you want to pick up a few extra vocabulary words also good for travelers is this one for the airport so there are airport related vocabulary words here but on the back is this Q&A section this is a sample question-and-answer session with an immigration agent so I know some people worry a lot about that so this is a very quick sample that you can reference so please check this stuff out and other things this is all free from the link below or above the video check the description not the chat box though I think in the YouTube chat our chat desk is sending links too so please do check that out it is free ok onward I don't see other goals yet if you have one send it okay let's move on though let's move on to the third part of today's topic if you're just joining today we are talking about making sample study plans for your English learning in 2019 so the point here is to review how to achieve your new year's resolutions I'm going to go now to a sample plan for like an intermediate or an advanced goal so I know many of you are working on improving English for career opportunities so for this goal I want to imagine that we want to be able to give a presentation in English so I know that this is challenging and makes you feel nervous in many for many people so I want to look at how to approach your studies if this is your goal for the year so here similar to our beginner goal after you choose the goal think about then what do I need to do so what are the things I need to be able to do to give my presentation in English so I need to learn words learn vocabulary words about my topic so maybe if I'm going to give a presentation about finance for example or if I'm going to give a presentation about my research topic I need to learn those words in English so that means I need to create my own vocabulary list in English for those specific words I need for my topic so that's one to-do item second I need to learn presentation vocabulary so what are the words we use to introduce a topic what are the words we use to go to the next topic smoothly in a presentation how should I finish my presentation so these are small points but too smoothly and clearly give a presentation they're quite important so this is point two third step after learning these vocabulary and phrases we need to write the presentation so I think this is a really good idea to help you organize your ideas of course and also to give you a chance to check the way you have like written your sentences is it correct or not and maybe at this step - you can ask someone to check your presentation to see if there are any errors this is a great step I think finally practicing so you need to practice your presentation before you give the presentation so there are these I think maybe four main things to do and inside each of these are smaller goals so let's focus on these two right here for this lesson because we don't have a lot of time so if we need to learn words about the topic and learn vocabulary words about presentations then we need to create a plan for our studies of those items so for example if I learn five presentation words a day and I learn oops I'm sorry I wrote this twice if I learned five presentation where is a day and five topic words a day sorry everybody five topic words a day by five topic words I mean five vocabulary words that are specific to my topic so in this case if you are topic for presentation is very like very specific to you then you might need to take some time to check a dictionary or Google to find exactly the correct word Google is your friend for this I use this a lot for translation and it can be super useful for checking the correct way to make an expression so that's the reason I thought maybe five words five topic words a day would be good maybe for a beginner ten words a day is a little bit easier because there are some content or there is some content on the internet already like we have some content to refer to but if you are researching your own words it might take you some more time so I thought maybe five topic words a day and then maybe five presentation words a day so if you're looking to do a presentation if you're planning to do a presentation we have some videos now on the channel I did a live stream about presentations last year and in February I'm going to do an updated refreshed bigger one too so if you need to look at a presentation related words you can check the content on our channel look for business or for presentation and you can also try to do some google searching of your own and look for look on YouTube for sample presentations so there are great resources already online for you to check and pick up some new words so these are a couple of examples for your vocabulary study plans and then writing your presentation too so consider it like a draft so you write the first draft and then you review it look at some problems find some problems write it again maybe give it to someone else write at a third time so take each item here step by step it's like a draft so you're always drafting making a rough version of something so this is kind of a quick idea for how to approach studying for a presentation in English I know it's not everything but there's a limited time so someone said are you going to do a class to prepare a presentation yes on February 20th I believe is the date near the end of February yes I'm going to do a live lesson about giving a presentation I can't remember the date off the top of my head phrases to use yeah that's it is that the Wednesday huh oh 20th yeah 20th 20th February 20th will be phrases to use when giving a presentation so yes please join that livestream I will be doing a refresher a big one last year I did a presentation about presentations but it was very small we had a very small board so this year in February I will do one so please join us for that one in February okay um we are oh my gosh we're out of time so I guess I have to stop there for today but I hope that this gave you some ideas about how to set your goals for English whether you're a beginner or whether you are a more intermediate or advanced student I hope that you found some ideas or at least got a little motivation to study even a little bit every day because just a little bit of study every day adds up quickly so it's hard to track your progress sometimes ah one more tip just for beginners or her advance people sorry I can't resist is if you record yourself it can be super helpful like if you record yourself speaking when you first start your studies and like record yourself in every practice session after that and compare like compare yourself now to when you were like a beginner it's really really amazing so that's something kind of fun I like to do when I practice anything okay I'm gonna stop talking now because I'm always late I talk too much okay we'll finish there for today so thank you as always for joining us live this week we're going to be back next week of course next week I guess next week's is actually a little bit about presentations next week's topic will be about how to support an idea so this means like when you give your opinion how do you give more information to support your opinion so this will be good I think for discussions if you like having discussions or debates or if you just want to be able to express yourself more deeply someone said can you provide a phrasal verbs list for us that would be very tough there Julianne's and bajillions of phrasal verbs check they know your verbs series if you want a few phrasal verbs for each verb okay can I change the time I cannot the good question the schedule of the class we will be here at 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time every Wednesday that is New York City time if you do not know your local time please google it next week 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time so good luck with your new year's resolutions please make SMART goals so that you set yourself up for success I wish you all the best thank you very much for joining us don't forget to get your free stuff from below the video on YouTube and above the video on Facebook thanks for sending your messages thanks for sending your goals and I hope you have a great week a great
