1 Simple Trick To Speak Fluent English Faster | Tips To Learn 100 New English Words in 1 Week Easily
Hello everybody welcome to Let's Talk, the place to boost up your English language skills.
My name is Michelle and today I'm going to tell you, βhow I learned hundred new words
in one weekβ, can you believe that? It's possible to learn hundred new words of English
in just one week. But before we find out how you can do that I want to share something
with you. So let's look at this diagram, what do you see here? There are four different
levels of English, so most people start their English learning journey at the basic level,
right? And then eventually they get to the intermediate level, but what happens here?
They get stuck and that happens because their focus is only on grammar and they forget to
learn new words, phrasal verbs and conversational phrases. So this is what you need to change,
you need to think about how you can be the very few who move to the advanced level and
not just their that you even move to the fluent level of speaking English and to do that my
friends, you need to know some really useful English words and you need to stop using some
common words which are a part of your vocabulary right now. So let me tell you how did I learn
hundred words in just one week. So let's talk about it, there are some of these words that
you can see on the screen amazing, honestly, just, that, next, small⦠do you use these
words? Are these common? Well I'm sure these words are super common and there was one point
in time when I used to use it all the time and then I realized that these words are hindering,
as in stopping my vocabulary from growing and that was the point I decided that I needed
to throw away, yes I needed to throw away these words from my daily conversation and
that is what we are going to do today. Today in this lesson, I'm going to give you five
new words for each of these words, okay? And that means you'll almost learn 35 new words
in just a few minutes, so imagine how much more can you learn in a week. Now let's begin
with our first word which is βamazingβ. So let's now find out what does amazing mean?
I'm sure you already know, amazing is a very common word and we use it when we are surprised,
βOh wow! You got a new car, it's amazingβ, right? Or sometimes when you're extremely
happy, βOh! You know something amazing happened with me todayβ, have you said that? I'm
sure. But now we need to cut out this βamazingβ. Look at all of these sentences, I've got five
sentences here, tell me what's common? Just the word βamazingβ, okay another amazing
and amazing, again amazing and amazing, how does it sound? Sounds boring. And your English
would sound basic when you keep repeating words like this. So what I'm gonna do is,
I'm going to help you get rid of these words and I'm gonna give you a new word for each
of these sentences. So let's begin with the first one. βItβs amazing to see youβ,
right, don't you say that when you meet somebody after a long time, okay? How can you change
that? What else can you say? Well you can say, βit's wonderful to meet youβ and
no more amazing, okay? The next one, βyesterday's match was amazingβ, you know that moment
when in the match you're just like at the corner of your seat and you're wondering about
which team is going to win⦠and just in a moment the game has changed, okay because
your favorite player hit six, what's that moment called? It's more than amazing, it's
miraculousβ¦ yes as if a miracle just happened. Okay, moving on to the next one, βyour speech
was amazingβ, now when you hear someone's speech and you thought it was great you say
βit's amazingβ but I'd say that you should say, βit's remarkableβ yes. So remarkable.
Of course the meaning is same but it's just the impact that the word creates. Okay, βit's
amazing how much weight you've lostβ, so you see somebody after a long time and you
see that they've lost a lot of weight, what do you say? Well I'd suggest that you say,
βincredibleβ. βIt's incredible how much weight you've lost.β βYou look amazing
in that dressβ, now this one is really common. People might have told you or you might have
told it to someone else, but now you have an alternative, you can say that βyou look
stunning in that dressβ, okay? So guys, here are a few alternatives, a few options
to the word, βamazingβ and I'd say that you must add five of these to your vocabulary.
So here are five new words for the word amazing, now let's move on and find five new words
for the word βwentβ, now what does went mean? It's pretty simple, it means to go from
one place to another, but it is the past form, okay? So many ways to move from here to there.
Now let's look at a few sentences and try to replace βwentβ with more interesting
English words. So again we have, βwent to the parkβ, βwent to Singaporeβ, βwent
to the mallβ and we have βthe thief went away quicklyβ again very repetitive and
very boring. So let's look at the first one, βI went to the parkβ, well how did you
go to the park? You can talk about that action, so I'm sure you βwalked to the parkβ then
why not say it, right? So instead of βwentβ you just say βI walk to the parkβ. Now
let's talk about βgoing to Singaporeβ how did you go to Singapore? You must have
flown, right? Then again, why not just say βI flew to Singaporeβ instead of saying
that you βwent to Singaporeβ. Okay, βI went to the mallβ, did you take a bike?
In that case the best word is to say you βrode to the mallβ. Okay, now look at the word
βRia went to the officeβ, maybe she drove, quite easy. So again βRia drove to the officeβ.
So what we're doing is, we're just talking about the actions we did instead of using
the word βwentβ, thatβs pretty easy. And then we have βthe thief went away quicklyβ,
you can replace this too, you can say βhe ran away quicklyβ, I'm sure instead of walking
slowly, he ran away real fast. So this is how you will replace the verb βwentβ with
other interesting verbs, just remember you can use the action that you did instead of
the verb βwentβ. Okay now this is βwentβ and let's talk about the next one which is
the word, βhonestlyβ. Now what does honestly mean? It's pretty easy, it's used to add emphasis,
which means βhonestly, I love youβ, okay? We say that, don't we? βHonestly, I'm saying
the truthβ, but what were you saying earlier? Were you lying? Okay so this means that when
you add honestly, you're kind of repeating yourself, okay? You can use some other words
to say the same thing, let's find out what are our options⦠So let's look at these
sentences and see how βhonestlyβ has been repeated and this is quite unnecessary, here
we go. Four times we've used the word honestly, now we're going to find four new alternatives
to this word. So βhonestly this shirt suits youβ, okay we can say βfranklyβ. Now
when you're talking to a friend, you can tell them the truth, what if it doesn't suit them?
You could still say βfrankly, this shirt doesn't suit youβ, right? Because you're
talking to your friend, so it's better to use the word βfranklyβ instead of βhonestlyβ.
Okay, βspeaking honestly, I love youβ, now when you love somebody, you don't do it
with a half-hearted emotion, it's the full hearted emotion, how can you say it? You can
say, βwholeheartedlyβ that means with all my heart. βSpeaking wholeheartedly,
I love you.β Now, βif I'm allowed to speak honestlyβ¦β so whenever you want to say
the truth, you need to be one thing, and that is βfreeβ so did you get it, how can you
replace it? βIf I'm allowed to speak freelyβ¦β Okay so before you start saying your idea,
you can start it with this sentence, βhonestly, I don't trust this business ideaβ well over
here you just saying the truth, you can say βhonestlyβ, but if you think you're repeating
yourself, you'd rather say βplainlyβ, which means, βquite simplyβ, oh there
we have another one, so just look at it, you have endless options to replace these simple
and repetitive English words in our conversations. So that was βhonestlyβ and now let's look
at how we can replace the word, βjustβ. Now this is such a common word and you use
it to fill your gaps, it's a filler word. So whenever you're saying something and you
don't know what to say, sometimes you add the word βjustβ and it also makes your
sentence weaker, it kind of takes away the meaning. Okay let's look at four sentences
here and we have just here, we have just here and we have just here and here too⦠We're
going to cut it out and we're going to find the alternatives. So βhe's just like his
fatherβ, you could say that βhe's precisely like his fatherβ, which means a lot or nearly
like his father. Okay βhe just escaped the accidentβ, okay so when you escape an accident,
it's always very narrow, this means that you could have almost got hurt, but you were savedβ¦
so what can you say, βhe narrowly escaped the accidentβ, okay? βThis computer is
just not workingβ, let's find out what's the alternative, βsimply not workingβ
and βthey just shifted to Delhiβ so instead of saying that you could say, βthey've recently
shifted to Delhiβ, because you are timing an action, you're saying that when did that
action happen, okay? So you would say, βTheyβve recently shifted to Delhiβ, which means
just a short time ago. Okay moving on to our next word which is, βthatβ. Now this world
is so common, we always use it in our sentences and usually, incorrectly. Let me tell you
how⦠So basically it's not used to refer to people when you're talking about people
you need another word, let's find out which word is that⦠so over here we have that,
that and that which we need to get rid of, so let's find outβ¦ βI have several friends
that live in Mumbaiβ, no! βI have several friends who live in Mumbaiβ, yes now this
is a correct sentence. Now you tell me, βI know many people _____ work in a bankβ,
we're again talking about people and you read here that βthatβ is not used to talk about
people, so what can you fill here? Well I hope you got it βI know many people who
work in a bankβ. I'm sure you got this one right. And the last one, βI know many trainers
on YouTube who teach Englishβ, well that another correct sentence, so do remember that
don't overuse the word βthatβ and remember to use it correctly. Okay now that's βthatβ
and let's find out the next one, so this is the word βnextβ and we often use it to
talk about what's coming after, okay so to say something that that's coming immediately
or it's coming after. Let's look at some sentences and try to get rid of this word next movie,
next to the hotel, next manager and next video⦠Okay let's find out what can we say instead,
so βI'm waiting for Salmanβs next movieβ no! βI'm waiting for Salman's upcoming movieβ,
okay? So βupcomingβ you could even say βforthcomingβ movie you have that option.
βthe bank is close to the hotelβ, because we're talking about distance so when two things
are near you, could say it's close. βhe is the next manager of our teamβ guess what,
when one person comes after another person in a particular position you can use the word
βsucceedingβ which means this person is leaving and another person is succeeding him,
which means replacing him. But replacing as you know is not very positive, so it's better
to say succeeding because that's a more positive word. And then you have βmy next videoβ¦β
well I would love to use the word βfollowingβ, βmy following video will be more interestingβ.
Okay so that's how you can get rid of the word βnextβ which is super common and
we use it a lot in our English. Now we have the word βsmallβ, again whenever you want
to talk about size either it's big or it's small but it can actually be something else,
let's find out what⦠Okay so it's obviously used to talk about something that is not big.
Let's look at a few sample sentences⦠too small, small, small and more of small⦠So
let's find out how to get rid of them, βthis font size is too small, I can't readβ so
maybe what you need is a lens or maybe what you need is a microscope, let's find out the
right wordβ¦ you could say βmicroscopicβ. So when something is so small that you almost
need a microscope or a lens to read it, you could say βit's microscopicβ. βThe car
is small we all won't fitβ so guys whenever you want to talk about space and an area which
is very congested, you could use the word βcompactβ it's an appropriate word to
talk about space so when an area is crowded or congested you could say it's compact because
it's small and not many people can fit. βIt's a small mistakeβ, you could say that βit's
a negligible mistakeβ which means a mistake that can be ignored and that's why it says
βplease forgive him, it's a negligible mistakeβ. βThere's a small dropβ¦β okay so guys
when there's a change in something which is unnoticeable okay, such as βthere's a small
drop in profits this monthβ, which means it's so small that you almost can't notice
it, so you could use the word βinsignificantβ, say it again βinsignificantβ. Okay, βthis
computer is very smallβ so guys when something is really small, as in an objectβ¦ you don't
have to just say small, you could say that βit's toyishβ. Toyish means almost like
a toy that it's so small that it looks like a toy, I can't even believe it's real. So
this is how you can get rid of these common words from your daily vocabulary. Did you
see just a few minutes and you were able to learn 35 new words in English. So what do
you think, is it possible for you to learn 100 words in a week? I'd say you can learn
up to thousand words in a month if you take the challenge. So this is my challenge to
you now, please tell me in the comments if what you learned today was productive and
how are you going to take up this challenge and now find out new words for some common
words that you overuse in your conversations every day. Thank you so much for joining me,
