foreign to speak in English over the next 21 days if you don't know me very well hello I am teacher Pricks and I'm going to help you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English make sure to oops subscribe to my channel because every week I post different kinds of English lessons to help you become a better and more confident English speaker now guys you may be thinking oh but Priscilla in 21 days that's ridiculous you're ridiculous ah I'm out I'm out of here okay first and foremost this video is not for beginners No period I'm

speaking in English I'm not focusing on real beginners this video is aimed at pre-intermediate and intermediate students basically these are the students I help here on my channel pre-intermediate and intermediate students I help these people go from stuck to speaking in six months now guys at this level what is going to happen to many students especially if you study alone and you don't follow a good method you will struggle to speak English because you're in your head you're constantly translating phrases you're trying to make the phrases in your mind in English in Portuguese or in

Spanish or in Italian in your native language and then you translate to English this is a very common habit and this is a result of the way you started the journey the way you conditioned your brain when you started learning so now many students come to my channel many people follow me because they want to change and I give wonderful recommendations here for you to change your habits because at the end of the day what I'm gonna teach you today and I'm gonna give you two challenges two exercises for you to do well it's a

change of habit it's a change of action and if you implement this for the next 21 days you will see changes I'm not saying you're going to be perfect no you will be speaking maybe much better than than now in 21 days we feel you will feel the change and that's all I want for you but are you going to stop after 21 days no that's not how it works so to improve your speaking you will need to improve your reaction time oftentimes when I ask students in my Academy I ask them a question they're

like that's a reaction they react slowly they need to think a lot by practicing your English speaking even alone because all the practices I'm going to give here are alone you're gonna do them alone as you study alone they will help you improve your reaction so that when I ask you a question you give it to me okay and that's practice all right and it's not just speaking we have grammar reading vocabulary listening writing they all help you improve your reaction okay now this is basically what I do with my students in my Academy I

have students from all over the world my babies my sardines as I call my students and in all the modules in the academy they have instructions to follow a solo what is solo alone a solo speaking routine and I know they improve are they perfect no nobody is perfect but the more they follow the program consistently the better they get and after they finish the program are they done forever no they will need to keep studying because English is a skill you know speaking is a skill that you must practice if you stop you forget

or you don't you you don't remain as good as you used to be okay now 21 days first you're not a beginner okay second speaking does not come naturally to us even me Priscilla fluent teacher does English speaking come naturally to me no I'm constantly working I'm constantly studying doing the work or even my medicine is oh I need to take it by the way instantly working on my English so it doesn't come naturally don't be fooled that when you're Advanced or fluent or matter awesome It comes naturally not at all you have to keep

going you have to keep exercising your brain okay so you need to nurture or to feed to nurture the habit of speaking even if you don't have anybody I don't have people to talk to me about the subjects I like have you ever thought about that there are many subjects that I like studying that I don't have anybody to practice with me so does that mean I don't try to improve my speaking about those subjects no I do it on my own okay so I follow the same strategies that I teach so you need to

be intentional with the speaking practice and not expect to speak without any effort like oh I'm just gonna speak it's gonna come to me no no you're exercising you're constantly working and to notice change even if it's small you need to work for at least 21 days consistently okay our brain responds well to gradual and consistent work so the brain our brain works much better responds well when you give results consistently gradually when you give work to your brain when you challenge your brain consistently slowly and you keep going you give a little every day

a little every day and that's how you build up your fluency that's why my Academy in our group on Facebook my students have many challenges for them to keep working on their speaking even alone why because I'm doing this to the brain to their brain so that they can keep having little things for them to do that will boost their English and make them talk because thinking of how to speak alone what what ideas how do you start talking that can be challenging as well that's why I prepared a challenge for you today okay now

teacher 21 days there are so many videos talking about 21 days so that's it no 21 days is an average okay as a matter of fact there are studies that show that to be very honest our a habit a new action that you wanna you wanna make automatic you know you want to do consistently for your brain to understand that it's part of who you are you need at least six to six days yes not just 21 21 is a good start okay it's a good change it's a good Shake okay shake shake shake so

in 21 days your habit is not completely formed which means you will still resist the practice you will still resent you're gonna be like ugh I don't wanna do it I don't like it but it's a start it's good okay it's really good but in six six to six days your brain understand that that is part of you but don't stop you just get a little stronger with being consistent with the practice but you still need to do more you still need to keep going you don't stop okay my my goal is my motto is

never stop keep going okay so this is according to research there are many studies that show that six to six days is The Sweet Spot based on the research they did to several different groups when forming a habit now that being said an apple a day keeps the doctor away I will explain the Apple okay I will talk about the apple and the English and speaking and the the challenges I'll be giving them to you don't go away I know it'll be worth it it'll be worth your time but you need to understand this part

so that it can give you the exercise okay maybe you're new you're watching this you're giving me a chance for the first time you need to watch the entire video to fully understand now this is a proverb that became quite popular okay in the 19th century doctors started advocating for the consumption of apples and healthy food in general if one eats healthy for Foods one will remain in good health and will not need to see the doctor very often so this became a very popular proverb oh what happened away keeps the doctor away of course

the doctors were not just referring to the Apple you need to eat more healthy you know good food so that you can stay away from the doctor as much as possible if you know what I'm saying and here I I liked this thing like one a little you don't need to like go crazy with the healthy food but a little every day that is so much better than nothing so you need to think of that to get to a level like I am doing right now speaking no problems you feel like I'm not making an

effort well a little every day a little apple every day that will help you build the confidence to talk to anyone anywhere anytime so don't wait for the moment when you finally have someone to practice with time is life don't waste your life waiting for the perfect scenario when you have a teacher a private teacher which in many cases will not really be the solution or when you finally travel or when you finally have a lot of money to spend at a school don't wait for the perfect scenario that's an illusion perfect is today you're

alive enjoy okay focus on using what you got and work on simply speaking exercises that will help you level up level up your English and that's what I want to do make sure to subscribe to my channel okay every week I bring different lessons grammar vocabulary listening strategies like this one I have many lessons here more than 700 free lessons for you I also have my stapling cycle make sure to check them out especially if you need to build better study habits that's basically what I do in my 21 day study plan psycho and why

cycle because I wanna I wanna help you keep repeating the cycle I teach you how to repeat this study style so check it out it's in the description of this video now activities you're going to do and I'm going to give you two recommendations two challenges for you to implement including speaking in your practice what is that supposed to mean you study three times a week that's what I do okay I study three sometimes four and when I'm very busy too but I like three three is my sweet spot okay minimum three times a week

and what I like the most is four okay sitting down consistently in every practice I speak five minutes ten minutes sometimes I get too excited so I speak a little more but I speak so my practice for example yesterday I was studying prefixes vocabulary it was a vocabulary practice so I created some written examples and then orally without using my my notes I created more examples and then I answered one question I think more questions where I included the words I was studying so you always included speaking in your practice whether it is grammar vocabulary

listening writing you include again another thing again no uh not again another Point practice telling stories everybody has stories to share something that happened to you to your cousin to your neighbor to your loved ones practice telling the most memorable stories that you know stories that are special to you I strongly recommend you get started with those and practice describing the story that is going to be very helpful for you okay and you are going to do that orally that's my biggest recommendation and I will talk about the challenges you're going to have the problems

you may face doing this exercise stay with me okay answering questions in English daily now the challenge that I'm going to give you is for the next 21 days and I don't recommend you stop because it's very short you're not going to be here for a long time doing this exercise so for this challenge 21 days don't skip a day okay don't skip so you started today with this challenge then tomorrow Friday then Saturday Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday and so on until you complete the 21 days so that you see the difference what I wanted

what I want to show you is the power of habits and the power of guidance and I'm gonna give this guidance to you and finally another thing you're going to do orally is describe the news now I'm not a big fan of watching the news I am very picky with the news I watch but I do watch the news to get some information about economy about what is happening in the world so I get some news okay and the ones I get I practice describing them in English I always included speaking in my practice if

there is one thing I wanted to remember from this video is always include speaking in my practice this is the number one rule of every fluent English speaker okay now how often as I said to notice results you will need to do this for 21 days at least okay and then six to six would be the sweet spot but do you stop after that no you keep going okay now I will show I prepared 21 questions for you okay they are not so easy questions you can answer them very quickly in one sentence but I

don't recommend I recommend to take the time to reflect upon these questions I think this is a problem in society nowadays oh what was the last book you read oh are you Red the power of habits reflect share the experience that's the speaking practice you need to think about okay what can I talk about connected with this book to answer this question what was the last book you read talk about it like explain share and this will work on your critical thinking in English which is something that pre-intermediate and intermediate students don't do they just

keep going with the easy questions do you like to study no talk about it okay your critical thinking what is the problem with the studying for you you're an adult so you need to exercise your critical thinking in order to expand your English if you want to go to the next level so usually my questions when I give questions to my students it's one question and then they're like three four questions around it why because I want to exercise your ability to to share your views your opinions your fears your concerns your anxieties in English

so I wanted to to take a screenshot right now okay because it's small you cannot read like this right now you can't read so I will I will uh maximize the screen take a screenshot or choose two slides so screenshot and then you're gonna practice for the next one days one question a day okay so the first one take a screenshot right now okay so this is the first 12 these are the first 12 questions now I'm gonna go to the next slide you're gonna take a screenshot or a picture with your phone if you're

watching on the TV the rest of the remaining questions so 21 questions for you to practice your English speaking I have given my students in the academy many challenges like this they have a lot of challenges like this okay so these are 21 questions each day you're going to answer one question okay now you will have some bumps in the road you may have some challenges you may have some problems they are natural we'll talk about them I'll just give one more challenge idea this I didn't prepare for you I only prepare for my babies

in the academy but I will give you the idea okay in your practice there there will be days when you're going to study reading when you're going to do reading when you're going to do writing when you're gonna do listening when you're going to do vocabulary but as I said before every practice must have speaking so here's what I Priscilla do it's what I do with my students in my Academy is what I have always been doing to improve my English okay I turn my reading and my listening into speaking and I at this moment

I study English duh and Italian you know parallel Italiano Italiano and this is something I do in Italian in English okay I pick different short videos like I really like this guy okay I think his name people call him Monty but his name is Marco Marco montemayo and montemayo yes montemayo and I love watching his videos I use a lot of his videos to study Italian is he a teacher no he's not a teacher he talks about different things okay different subjects okay so I he he gives business ideas personal development ideas he he talks

about a variety of subjects he interviews different Italian people or foreigners from other countries people from other countries so every time I sit down to study Italian I pick a different video from him okay sometimes not because I have other listening exercises but I am at least once a week me Priscilla in my study study routine I include you include a video from him and I work on my listening I work on my writing I work on my vocabulary and I end the practice with speaking I talk about what I saw like this video this

week I was watching through the Monday three three do Monday and then I watch okay I don't like mixing the languages because I want to continue and I know that I can't do this here and why do I do this to practice using the words I saw to practice remembering the information that I saw to test how much I remember to exercise my memory people are so worried about their memory they're so like oh my vocabulary sucks I always forget the words but they never exercised their memory so this is a combination of listening and

memory exercise improving your memory so I strongly recommend you follow this kind of practice with reading okay I read a text what do I remember exercise your memory you will see that you will get better as you keep doing this listening I was watching the history of filmmaking evolution of the cinema okay the evolution of the movie theaters it's such a good video because I was talking about I was studying Priscilla me I was studying about movies and checking the history of movies and watching some and describing some movies that I watched and then I

watched this video to complement my study routine and I did the same thing that I did that I do in Italian I copied my routine from Italian you know my Italian routine is a result of my English routine that's how I study that's how I learn so I finished watching this video I study it I worked on vocabulary listening comprehension and then finally speaking and using words that I'm studying in the vocabulary practice that I have been doing since last week a little goes a long way okay so I what is my recommendation the Second

Challenge you can do every day for the next 21 days pick 21 different and short videos about different subjects and try this practice okay today short videos three minutes four minutes five minutes nothing too long okay nothing too long so you watch the video you're gonna take notes you're gonna exercise your memory right what do I remember what do I understand that's memory improve your memory by writing more by describing things more finished worked on the words you don't know excellent now you will finish with the grand finale speak oh but I'm alone nobody will

correct me I know I know that our limitations in everything we do even if you had the best teacher in the world there would still be limitations we need to learn how to go past the limitations and get the best we can because time is life use the time you have well as much as possible so this is a good exercise not to correct your mistakes but to condition your brain that when it's time to speak bro or says it's time to speak you won't hesitate or feel like or tell people you can't this is

a good practice I strongly recommend it okay now come on oh my God this video is too long Common challenges you will not know words it's completely natural okay and when you do this exercise that's when you identify the words you don't know and it's good because you're practicing so it's natural don't be sad if you don't have the habit of speaking alone if you never did this you will see that it'll be hard at the beginning you'll be resistant okay you'll be like oh my God this is too hard don't give up the phrases

may be very short your answers may be very short but don't give up repeat the challenge again and again and again okay three you will hesitate you will take breaks you will get distracted you will think in your you will think in your language this will all happen to you it is natural don't feel like oh this is wrong something wrong no no no no this will happen to all of us I sometimes sometimes no I hesitate a lot when I'm practicing my Italian not English English I have to admit it's pretty easy for me

but in Italian I still hesitate and I'm like oh okay good I don't know this word so let's check it out it's natural I don't feel like oh I'm bad I suck no I'm human I'm learning let's go okay and you may need inspiration maybe you will see a question from The Challenge that I shared here and you'll be like I don't know so search for inspiration watch a video read something I do this all the time when I need to talk especially in English Okay more in English than in Italian I saw the subject

of the week I chose the subject of the week I don't know how to talk about it because I I don't have information so what do I do I search for inspiration I watch something I read something connected with the subject I want to talk about okay now guys I hope you enjoyed this video get my study plan it's an amazing study plan that will be very helpful on your journey to fluency this is not my Academy but it's the second thing that I always sell non-stop every year okay my Academy is going to open
