How To Never Forget What You Learn

hey in today's lesson I'm going to teach you how to never forget any English again that's right are you ready well then I'm teacher Tiffany let's Jump Right In here's step number one step number one find an image that represents the new word or expression finding an image will help you create a visual connection to the word or expression in your brain this will make it easier for you to remember the word or expression when you are speaking English this is something that will change your life for example let's say the new word you learned

was delicious we have delicious right here and I'm going to show you how you can apply step number one so I want you to think right now what's something delicious right think of an image that could represent the word delicious now I'm going to say an apple because I really love apples so I could go online and find a picture of an apple why because in my opinion apples are absolutely delicious so I have completed step number one I found an image that has the meaning of the word shown visually apples are delicious step number

one you see right there very simple step one find an image now step number two think about a personal experience you see thinking about a personal experience related to the word or expression will help you create an even stronger mental trigger in your brain in other words the word or expression will stay in your memory longer because there are so many things you can connect it to so once again step number two is think about a personal experience now remember our example is the word delicious in Step number one I said hey I'll find a

picture of an apple because apples are delicious to me but now for step number two we have to think about a personal experience that represents this word delicious now for me again step number two being a personal experience the very first thing that pops into my mind is then Thanksgiving dinner oh wait listen Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday so when I think about Thanksgiving I think about all the delicious food my mom makes every single year so in my mind for step two I'm creating this image of the experience that represents the word delicious now

I'm gonna just show you just a little bit of real quick drawing because my mouth is already watering when I think about all of the food that my mom makes for a Thanksgiving dinner it's absolutely delicious you see I am thinking about my personal experience because step number two is connect a personal experience think about an experience that connects to the word or expression you are learning step number two now step number three is important step number three write down the five W's you see writing down the five W's who what when where and why

related to the word or expression will also help you remember it this will also help you remember how you first learned about the word or expression so let me explain right now we are talking about ways to never ever forget the words or English Expressions that you learn right now we're on step three and step three again is write the five W's so if we go back to our example and we're going to write step number three so step number three being about the five W's who what when where and why now who taught you

this word that would be me so I'm gonna write my name Tiffany now the second W who what what did you learn about this word or what did you connect to this word or what was used to describe this word so you can choose what what were you doing well I was actually watching a YouTube lesson you see what's happening right watching a lesson right watching a lesson on YouTube again we're just putting into practice these steps now who what when well it's Sunday hopefully it's Sunday where you are as well but it might be

another day for you if you're watching this lesson later who what when where YouTube who what when where why trying to learn English so you see what's happening right we're using step three to document when how where we were the situation surrounding the time period when we learned this word the word being delicious makes sense right we're creating all of these Connections in your brain when you are learning a new word let's see if you can see this when you're learning a new word or expression you need to create Connections in your brain to help

your brain remember the word or expression this will help you use it later on yes if you're watching this lesson he has a big head but it's okay all right so step three five W's again who what when where why talking about the situation describing the situation when you learned the word or expression now step number four create unique sentences using it creating three sentences that use the word or expression will help you organize your thoughts this will also create another connection point in your brain for the new word or expression you see we're putting

it into practice immediately so again for our example we have the word delicious so if we are going to for step number four create three unique sentences using the word delicious for example I can say my mom we made some delicious food for Thanksgiving so I'll write the first example sentence all right so again I could say my mom oh man that food was good made some delicious food made some delicious food again you see that we're applying it to our lives right some delicious food for Thanksgiving this is Step number four helping you never

forget what you learn so you're gonna make three sentences I did one but let's imagine that I wrote three sentences all right for step number four now we're practicing we're utilizing these steps to help you never forget what you learn now step number five very interesting you now need to teach someone what you know you see teaching someone else the English you know will actually help you remember it even more this is because you have to organize the information in your head before you teach someone something before you go to teach someone anything you must

make sure it's organized in your mind so right here we already have our ideas organized so step number five is what I'm actually already doing step step number five again is teach someone so what you're gonna do you're gonna find a friend you're gonna find a partner and you're gonna teach that individual what you learned maybe you learned a different expression or word maybe you learned a different idea anything you learn you're going to teach that to this individual step number five teach what you learn and you'll never ever forget that word or expression if

you use each and every one of these steps find think write create and teach these steps will help you never forget any word or any expression I really hope you enjoyed today's lesson remember if you want to keep studying with me all you have to do is hit the link right in the description go to English fluencyplan.com I'll put it right on the screen and you can join me and thousands of students around the world to help you learn I put an effort to help you learn each and every day and I want you to

will never forget so when I was in the sixth grade we had a big class about think there are about 26 of US 27 of us we were a large class but something that was very unique about us was the fact that we all hung together we really enjoyed each other we really excuse me something was on my lip we really liked hanging out with each other right we would always play a recess together we always spent time in class together and we always used to get in trouble together as well so one day we

were in class and we were smart so we would finish our work early which means that we would also start talking a lot and our teacher Miss Howard if you're watching this Miss Howard you know how much I love you Miss Howard so she would always say do your work and then sit quietly we did our work we followed the first one the first instruction but that second instruction we tried but we loved to talk so we'd finish our work and I'm I'm guilty too I am very guilty too and then we'd start talking hey

hey hey hey you finished and we just start chattering one day our teacher got upset Ms Howard said sixth grade put your pencils down and we said uh oh she's mad she's mad we weren't laughing but it was because we weren't bad whenever she would get mad at us or scream she really loved us we would kind of say oh here it comes and back in the day years ago this is about 34 years ago 30 30ish 30-ish years ago the main punishment we would get was to write lines basically she writes something on the

board and we would have to write that sentence over and over again so typically we'd have to write it 100 times but she was an English teacher so she would write a sentence put a semicolon and keep writing the one sentence would be about this long five lines so we'd say okay so she this day she got upset wrote on the whole board this long thing we had to write so we're sitting there she finishes riding on the board and she says take your pencils and papers out and start writing so we started writing quietly

we knew she was upset about 30 minutes into US writing lines some of us were fast and some of us were slow I was a fast rider so 30 minutes in remember I said we had a hard time not talking 30 minutes in I don't know if it was my me or somebody else it might have been me somebody said hey what no what number are you on we had to write it 100 times somebody out of the blue said what number are you on just yelled it out in the class somebody responded I'm on

number 35 what number are you on I said I'm a number 40. what about you and we just started saying what numbers we were on and our teacher was sitting in silence just looking at us okay okay we only have about 45 more how many more do you have and we're just going back and forth and she stood up and we all got quiet we're riding our lines we're still talking she walked to the front and she looked at us he said put your pencils down [Laughter] it was no use she had given us this

punishment but we were still happy because we were together and we were riding the line she said what kind of punishment is this if you guys are still happy so we put our pencils down and we're like okay now I want to fast forward two years because remember I said we weren't bad kids right we just enjoyed talking and we enjoyed being together she was our sixth grade teacher fast forward to eighth grade you know where the the big kids on campus now we're eighth graders you know and we were excited we're gonna get a

brand new teacher she was our sixth grade teacher we had a different teacher for seventh grade and we were excited to get a new teacher for eighth grade just you know exciting so we're all you know coming on on the grounds of our school and we're walking in talking to each other like yeah we're the eighth graders now and we opened the eighth grade classroom door and who was sitting at the desk Miss Howard she said hello eighth grade now I told you we weren't bad kids that was proof Miss Howard told us eventually we

were her favorite class we weren't bad we did our work we just enjoyed talking but she enjoyed being with us so much that she requested to move from the sixth grade to the eighth grade so that she could teach us one more year so she loved us and we honestly loved her maybe when you were younger you had a teacher that loved you so much and maybe she acted like she didn't at first but she ended up really loving you or maybe you had a male teacher whoever you had remember to always love your teachers

I hope you enjoyed today's lesson and I hope you enjoyed the story and I will talk to you in the next one
