today we're going to talk about four
techniques to help you stop translating
in your head and instead start thinking
in your target language this will allow
you to have conversations with ease read
smoothly and better understand native
speakers these are four methods to help
you think in a new language
number one surround yourself with your
target language this way you'll be
completely immersed in the language
without realizing it you'll learn
pronunciation sentence structures
grammar and new vocabulary play music in
the background while you're cooking or
have a radio station on while you study
just use one of our endless podcasts
available to you these are easy to
listen to in the background while doing
other things number two learn through
observation this is how we all learned
our native languages as kids words will
develop their own meanings that relate
better to your target language rather
than meanings that are translated
directly number three speak out loud to
yourself even if you're a little
embarrassed it forces you to listen to
how you speak it makes it much easier to
spot simple grammar mistakes
number four practice daily if you
practice everything for only one day you
won't retain the information you learned
the brain can realistically only focus
for about 30 minutes so studying a
little every day allows you to absorb
better follow these steps and have
patience you'll soon be able to achieve
your language learning goals just make
sure to remember these four methods to
Baker's are talking how are they going
to display their bread this new cheesy
bread isn't selling well is it
no we placed it on the top shelf though
hmm maybe it's too high for some people
they probably can't see it then let's
put it on the middle shelf sounds good
they'll see it when they first come into
the store and why don't we put a red
cloth on this shelf so that they know
it's our new bread all right then we'll
have to move the croissants to somewhere
else
top or bottom why don't we put our
regular items on the top shelf
they'll sell well even if they're not
easy to spot that has to be the French
bread then let's put it in a basket
so it'll stand out good idea now the
croissants have to be on the bottom okay
how does it look
looks good let's see how it goes for a
week and then decide if we need to make
any adjustments

a woman is reporting to her boss about
the results of a questionnaire which
graph represents the employees from the
bee branch last week we asked 200
employees to answer a questionnaire
about their fitness habits the focus of
this questionnaire was on how many hours
they exercise each week did you tally up
the results for the a and B branches
separately yes and employees had four
options less than an hour
around one to two hours around three to
five hours and six hours or more here
are the results so employees in both
branches answered about one to two hours
the most looks like they're exercising
about once a week yes and after that
employees in the a branch were most
likely to answer about three to five
hours while in the B branch the next
most common answer was less than an hour
hmm not even ten percent of employees at
the B branch exercised more than six
hours that's right so I was thinking we
could organize weekly sports events
there that anybody could casually join
that's a good idea
it did give employees a good chance to
socialize - I'll leave it to you thank
you I'll take care of it

achievable language goals and
resolutions your new year's resolution
solution so for those of you that have
set a language goal for 2019 what is it
leave a comment and tell me and for
those of you that laugh at new year's
resolutions because they just don't work
this is for you stick around today
you're going to learn number one the top
three reasons why language goals fail
and number two what you can do to
succeed with your resolution in other
words how to set successful language
goals
let's jump into today's topic how to set
achievable language goals and
resolutions and speaking of New Year's
resolutions it's almost like a joke
nowadays isn't it
you set a resolution you try to do it in
January by February there's no progress
and doing it isn't fun anymore
you quit and put it off until many years
later when you start regretting all the
things you've never done so what's the
problem with setting resolutions and why
do we keep failing let's jump into part
one the top three reasons why language
goals fail
first of all regardless of what most
people say setting resolutions or goals
is a good thing you have to know where
you're going and what you want to
achieve right otherwise you'd spend days
months years watching YouTube and have
nothing to show for all the time you put
in but the problem with most resolutions
is it's usually something like I want to
master Chinese I want to lose weight
I want to be fluent in Japanese people
set very big vague goals and that's the
first reason why resolutions fail
resolutions fail because they are
nonspecific and unmeasurable what do I
mean by that
take a goal like I want to be fluent in
English Korean or Japanese this year the
problem is that's a very vague goal
right what do you mean by fluent and how
can you measure how much progress you
need to be fluent in the language you
can't it doesn't tell you anything about
how much Japanese you should learn today
tomorrow or how many minutes of Japanese
to speak by month 1 by month 2 what
resources to use and when to stop and
take a rest so again the first reason is
resolutions fail because they are
nonspecific and unmeasurable the second
reason is New Year's resolutions fail
because they're unrealistic and you
might say but isn't it good to aim for
the stars and set huge goals sure it's
not bad to want to go far but if you say
I want to be fluent by September and
you've just started learning a language
today it's not impossible but are you
ready to commit yourself to nothing but
language learning six to eight hours a
day non-stop if
not you need to be a little more
realistic about your goals the third
reason is resolutions fail because
there's no action plan the problem is
you'll still fail even with a specific
and realistic goal if you don't know
when and how you're going to do it for
example when will you study how long
will you study for every day and how
will you study so resolutions fail for
three reasons one they're nonspecific
and unmeasurable two they're unrealistic
and three there's no action plan now how
do you set new year's resolutions and
actually succeed your goals should be
one specific and measurable too
realistic and three have an action plan
so the complete opposite of the mistakes
most learners usually make and there are
two more rules for you need to set a
deadline and 5 break down your yearly
goal into smaller monthly goals so how
would this work let's say my New Year's
resolution is to have a 30 minute
conversation in Japanese by December
31st and not I want to learn Japanese
one day hopefully already you can see
that it's one specific and measurable
you can measure 30 minutes right - it's
realistic I'm aiming for 30 minutes not
fluency there's a clear deadline
December 31st before we get into the
action plan there's another important
part I break my resolution down into
smaller monthly goals so let's say my
goal is to speak two minutes of Japanese
conversation by January 31st 2019 again
it's small and measurable just two
minutes I can time myself and see how
far along I am there's a clear deadline
it's realistic I'm not looking to master
the whole language just reach the
two-minute conversation mark now what
about your action plan for that you just
need to answer these questions when will
you study how long will you study
everyday where do you plan to study how
will you study what's your study
schedule this is the most important part
because this tells you when and how to
study so when will you study I'll study
at 9:00 p.m. on weekdays so five days a
week
how long will you study everyday I'll
study for 15 minutes where do you plan
to study I'll study at home in the
living room on my computer
how will you study I'll listen to one or
two lessons a day to fill up the 15
minutes
what's your study schedule Monday
through Friday for 15 minutes a day this
makes a lot more sense now doesn't it
instead of saying hopefully I'll learn
that language someday and never taking
action on your goals by setting these
small measurable goals you know what you
need to do okay let's recap to set
successful language goals your goals
should be one specific and measurable to
realistic three have an action plan for
a deadline and five be broken down into
small monthly goals so instead of saying
I want to be fluent in 2019 try I want
to speak thirty minutes of conversation
by December 31st 2019 and then go even
smaller and set a small monthly goal so
everyone it's your turn
leave a comment and tell me what's your
small measurable monthly goal and what's
the deadline here are some examples you
can steal for yourself learn 100 words
in one month speak one minute of your
target language in a month or do twenty
audio lessons in one month deadlines

a man is choosing an insurance plan
which plan is he going to sign up for
what kind of trip will you be taking I'm
going scuba diving since I'll be
bringing all my own equipment I'm a bit
worried about getting it stolen very
smart of you insurance against theft is
included in all of our plans since scuba
diving equipment is an unusual type of
baggage only plan a can cover it though
alternatively you can get insurance
specifically for scuba diving equipment
and add it to other plans plan a is the
most expensive one right what's the
difference between plan B and Plan C
okay for example if you happen to stay
in a hospital abroad
Plan B covers flight tickets for your
family to visit you but Plan C doesn't I
see if I get the SPECIAL contract or
scuba diving equipment and add it to
Plan B or Plan C would it be more
expensive than plan a with plan B that
would make it a little more expensive
but with Plan C it would be less
expensive okay by the way is there any
plan that's cheaper than Plan C yes we
have plan D but it doesn't cover
accomodation if your flight gets delayed
or cancelled so we don't recommend this
plan got it I agree that I need coverage
but I don't think I need coverage for
family plane tickets so I'll take this
plan and combine it with the insurance
for scuba diving equipment

a woman is asking for directions to the
airport at an information center
how is she going to get to the airport
excuse me I need to go to the airport
would you tell me how to get there
sure there are a few ways if you take
bus number one it takes about one and a
half hours to the airport it's the least
expensive way bus number two is a
non-stop bus it's more expensive and
leaves once every hour but it only takes
fifty minutes I see what about taxis
there's a taxi stand in front of the
building and they take about an hour but
they use the expressway and charge extra
for a lot of luggage so it's going to be
a lot more expensive than the bus I
guess that makes sense and I'd like to
avoid paying too much you didn't by
chance buy anything at shopping world
while you were here they offer
complimentary shuttle service to the
airport for customers who make a
purchase there Wow I didn't know that I
haven't bought anything yet but I was
going to stop by and get some souvenirs
there anyway then you can use that

lots of paper every day so let's order
two more boxes ok
the printer is out of color ink should
we order that we don't really print
documents in color so we don't need to
worry about that hmm ok
looks like these whiteboard markers are
running out of ink right those need to
be replaced we get a discount if we
order them in sets of five so let's do
that okay and while we're at it can we
order a mouse sometimes it works but
sometimes it doesn't that's probably
because it's running out of batteries
let's check the stock of batteries and
order more if we don't have many left
sure well we have three batteries here
you can take two of these for your mouse
but buy a six pack of batteries to
replace them

a man and a woman are choosing a hotel
which hotel are they going to choose we
have to decide on the hotel for our trip
next month okay let's check the internet
the ocean hotel is near the beach it
says $120 a night per person and you get
a buffet breakfast how about the pine
hotel it's $80 a night I don't want to
waste too much on accommodations hmm but
the pine hotel is far from the beach and
from downtown and it says you have to
pay for Wi-Fi what about the sunrise
hotel it usually costs a hundred forty
dollars a night but now they're running
a promotion and we can stay one night
for $90 it's between the beach and
downtown
plus it has free Wi-Fi sounds good
oh wait it says the deal is for next
week only oh I didn't see that so how
about this place the Royal Hotel it's
located in the middle of downtown and it
costs $100 a night the room doesn't look
so nice but they have free Wi-Fi okay
let's book this hotel oh it's already
fully booked shoot then I think the
first one is best is it full no it's not
great
which hotel are they going to choose
a man and a woman are choosing a hotel
which hotel are they going to choose we
have to decide on the hotel for our trip
next month okay let's check the internet
the ocean hotel is near the beach
it says $120 a night per person and you
get a buffet breakfast how about the
pine hotel it's $80 a night I don't want
to waste too much on accommodations hmm
but the pine hotel is far from the beach
and from downtown and it says you have
to pay for Wi-Fi what about the sunrise
hotel it usually costs a hundred forty
dollars a night but now they're running
a promotion and we can stay one night
for $90 it's between the beach and
downtown plus it has free Wi-Fi sounds
good oh wait it says the deal is for
next week only oh I didn't see that so
how about this place the Royal Hotel
it's located in the middle of downtown
and it costs $100 a night the room
doesn't look so nice but they have free
Wi-Fi okay let's book this hotel
oh it's already fully booked shoot then
I think the first one is best is it full

a woman is giving a report about the
sales of bags which bag is selling best
here's a report on the bags that we
started selling last month first of all
when it came to color black was the
number one seller it's followed by white
and sky blue yellow didn't sell very
well so yellow was a dud well what about
the size bigger bags sold more than
smaller ones bags that could fit a
magazine or a regular letter sized
notebook in them where the most popular
okay regarding handles leather was more
popular than ones made with a metal
chain I see it looks like bags with a
more formal style sell better that's
right I think we should use more neutral
colors such as beige or brown for our
new collection okay then let's go with
the beige for the next new color you can
stop the production of yellow bags got
