Some teachers will tell you that you need to study from morning to night all day, every day to reach English fluency. That’s simply not true! The way you study is more important than the time you study. Let me explain.
In today’s video, we're going to talk about creating an active learning study routine that can help you improve your English fluency in as little as 15 minutes per day! You can do a lot of things to immerse yourself in English throughout your day, and this does help of course, but it is passive learning. We need to create an active learning experience for at least 15 minutes a day in order to improve your English skills.

Thank you so much for joining me! My name is Dianne, and I will be your English teacher for today. There are certain expressions and sayings Americans say, and if you are an English as a second language speaker, you may not understand them. Today's lesson is focused on ten American expressions to help help you sound like a native speaker!
Before we start though, here's a little bit about myself - I was born and raised in Bogota, Colombia, so I know what it's like to learn English as a second language! I had to learn English when I was about 12 years old and I moved to the US. I had very little understanding of the language, and as soon as I started speaking with native English speakers I was lost!
My first tips are to pay attention to the context of the phrase. Also, look at the way the person is talking – their tone of voice and their body language. I am so sure that you will be able to figure it out. Don't translate (because the literal translation may not make any sense), but pay attention to these cues.
Let’s get started with today's lesson.

In your past English classes, you probably learned essential phrases such as "thank you," "you are welcome," and so on. These phrases are important basic English expressions we use on a daily basis! However, the way that native speakers say them in real world conversation may be slightly different than what you read or heard in your English class.
These basic English phrases may seem like they are for beginners. Nevertheless, many intermediate and advanced English learners know these essential phrases but do not understand natives when they say even simple words, and are unable to pronounce these phrases in a way that sounds native-like.
You see, in the confines of a classroom, your English teacher probably was patient, slow, and clear in the way they pronounced each word. In everyday English speaking situations, native English speakers may not be as patient or clear! Native speakers often speak quickly, and it can be difficult to understand them... and even more difficult to speak like them!
So, if you would like to improve your comprehension and speak more like a native English speaker, this lesson is for you!

How can you speak English faster and more natural? You’ve probably heard English native speakers using contractions and connected speech with modal verbs like “woulda”, “coulda”, and “shoulda”. Taking words and kind of smashing them together is really common, and it can be difficult to understand when you hear it. It’s also probably intimidating to try to do yourself.
Trust me, understanding and using connected speech with modal verbs in advanced tenses doesn’t have to be that challenging. This lesson will teach you how to speak English fast with advanced grammar. I’m going to explain some common modal verbs in advanced tenses so that you can start using them now! By using this advanced grammar in your speech, it’s going to help you sound much more fluent and natural!
An important part of learning is practice, so after you watch this video, go down to the comment section and answer this question: What is something you would have done yesterday, but didn’t do because you couldn’t? For example, I would’ve gone for a walk last night, but it was raining.
IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE DIFFICULT TO USE CONNECTED SPEECH WITH MODAL VERBS Using advanced grammar feels awkward and complex. Maybe you’ve avoided it because it feels like it takes too long to express ideas with advanced grammar. Maybe you didn’t get much time to practice and truly understand how to use advanced grammar in your English class. Natives don’t use advanced tenses as often as simple tenses; but, they’re still very important and used on a daily basis!

There are a lot of English learning apps out there (and I’ll share my favorite with you here), but what about using other, everyday apps in creative ways to improve our English fluency? You use apps on your smartphone every day, so how about using them to help you start thinking in English?
HOW TO USE EVERYDAY APPS TO PRACTICE ENGLISH (AND START TO THINK IN ENGLISH) What if we used everyday apps to practice English? We can create a kind of immersion experience in English when we use apps that are and are not intended for language learning. How can we use language features on regular apps to improve our English? Which apps do you use on a daily basis? I’ll share the ones I use every day and how you can use them to improve your English and start thinking in English.

As an English learner, you want to improve your listening and speaking skills. You’re in the right place! Listening skills are important for comprehension and speaking skills help you communicate with the world.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR LISTENING AND SPEAKING SKILLS My students are always asking me (a native English speaker), are you speaking at a normal speed? Do you speak more slowly when you teach English? Well, the answer is yes — and no! The speed and way we speak English changes depending on the situation. Also, it depends on the person and their regional accent.

I’m sure most of you know that it’s correct to say I was, she was, he was, it was in the simple past. But, did you know that there is a time that you should say I were, she were, he were, and it were? There is, and today you’re going to learn when and how to do that!
So, what are the 1st and 2nd conditionals?
Here’s an example of the first conditional. If I have time, I will call you. This is a true statement, and I believe it could really happen.
Now, here’s the second conditional. If I had time, I would call you. In this case, I am expressing my desire to call you, but because I used the second conditional, that means that I don’t think I will have time, and therefore will not be able to call you. A lot of times, we think of the first conditional as a real conditional and the second conditional as unreal because the speaker believes that what they’re saying is unlikely, or even impossible, to happen.

When someone says, “I’ll get back to you,” how should you answer? What does that phrase really mean? In your English class, you may not have learned the phrases that native speakers use in real conversation. These phrases might contain expressions that just don’t make sense unless you learn them and know how to respond.
Today I’m going to share some phrases that may be more for business communication than for everyday English. However, if you want to use English for work, as well as everyday life, then you need to know them!

Every country has its own culture, holidays and traditions! Americans are very patriotic.
It is important to understand American culture, holidays and traditions if you want to speak English fluently!
If you experience only one holiday in the USA, it should be the 4th of July.
It’s a big deal - it marks the 13 colonies’ independence from Britain.
The 4th is all about fireworks, food (apple pie!) and freedom for many Americans.
This actually influences the way we speak English and communicate -- a lot! I want to share some stories and cultural info related to the 4th of July that I think will be really helpful for the way you communicate.

Why is it that you can understand some English speakers and not others? Why is it even harder to understand native English speakers in movies or Netflix series?
At the end of this, I’ll share how to learn English online with live native tutoring, with the opportunity to get 100% of your tuition refunded!!
This is how your English teacher talks.
And this is how other people might talk.
A lot of people learn English with movies and Netflix series, becoming fluent for free and having fun doing it. Many of them never even took traditional English classes.
Then, there’s you. YOU probably learned English in a classroom. You are working hard, studying to memorize vocabulary, grammar rules, and maybe you’re going to sit for a test like the IELTS or TOEFL.
But none of these things prepare you to understand the real world of English speakers. In fact, tests like the IELTS and TOEFL have been engineered to keep regular people out of programs and opportunities, while rewarding rich students who have money for test-prep programs.
Maybe you feel like your English textbook has lied to you about what you really need to communicate in English. You’ve put English courses and test prep books on your credit card, but you still can’t speak with or understand native speakers.
In Netflix series and in American movies you hear slang words you never learned in class, accents that your teacher never showed you, cultural references that you never had time to discuss in class (or maybe your teacher didn’t even know) and most of all — a lot of dialogues that never made it into your textbook. Imagine if a movie had a scene about the famous textbook phrase, the book is on the table?!
Fluency seems like a distant dream. How do they do it? How do people understand and even learn English with movies and Netflix series?
Seeing all those people who learned English as a second language speaking fluently and confidently, it baffles you, especially at such a young age.
The dreams you have of speaking English fluently seem like just that – distant dreams. You realize that English classes are a joke, and you’re on the losing side of this kind of education that is not working.
But what if I told you this is wrong? There’s a way to get there. There’s an equation behind fluency!
I’ll warn you it’s not always easy, it can be a challenge, but there are clear steps you can take on your own, for free, to reach fluency.
But at the end of this road lies freedom, the freedom of fluency and never having to take another class.
So, are you with me? Let’s get fluent. Let’s go.
What do you really think about fluency? Do you think that only other people, people who are smarter, younger or who have the chance to live abroad can reach it?
Maybe you even look at people who become fluent in English with some disbelief. Did they pay a lot of money to study abroad? Or maybe they grew up with an English-speaking friend or family member?
You look at people who have become fluent and wonder how did they get there? The truth is, they didn’t get there taking traditional English classes. They have a better formula for becoming fluent than you do.
So again you wonder, what is this formula?
Stop chasing fluency.
Fluency comes to you in direct proportion to the amount you use English with real materials and in real conversations.
After the high beginner level, you should be using native-speaker materials to learn like Netflix series, movies, books, etc and having conversations with natives (and non-native speakers too of course).
If you keep speaking English, people will speak to you in English. Why? It’s about communication. And when you use more English, you’re giving yourself more chances to practice and learn. Even if you make mistakes, those are not bad. Those are changes to make and improve.
If you want fluency, you shouldn’t be chasing fluency, you should be using English in every way possible.
Listen to the English around you, and if you don’t have English around you — create it!
Remember that understanding English can’t be done by reading about it. Speaking English can’t be done by reading the rules. It’s like trying to become a champion soccer player by reading about soccer on Google.
There will always be someone better than you at English. Don’t chase perfection. Don’t compare yourself. English is about connection, not perfection.
Specifically, you need to stop chasing perfection in English and start chasing immersion or input. Increase the English that you expose yourself to — I’ve mentioned many ways to do this in previous videos over the past 9 years (Netflix series and movies are 2 great ways).
You must use native-speaker materials because here you will also get information about culture, pop culture and references that people make in communication. Do you know what MLK day is, or who JFK was? These are both important people in American culture and many of the English learners I’ve met do not have a clue who they are because their English textbook doesn’t use real life examples.
You need to get out of your comfort zone and make more native-speaker friends. Nowadays it’s not an excuse that you live in a non-English speaking country or you can’t leave your house — if you can get Internet service, you can get English-speaking friends.
You need to watch and listen to English with an active mind, making notes of what you’re learning. Don’t be passive or you’ll never remember it.
Have fun, enjoy the journey, and be patient with yourself. It takes time.
So, you either will continue to use your time dreaming about becoming fluent in English, or doing it. Which will you decide?
For most of you, it’s not just about English. It’s about the freedom, the feeling, the ability to talk to anyone you want, and understand anything you want, when you want, without checking the dictionary or feeling confused.
The most important thing you can do is keep listening, keep speaking, and fail more, make more mistakes, make more misunderstandings, and learn from them.

Intensifiers -- Americans love to sound exciting and interesting by using intensifiers. Yes, they can be overused, but I notice that many English learners don’t use them at all! The English students I have who DO use them sound much more natural and native-like.
Intensifiers you probably already know include:
So
Really
Very
And also we can use more interesting words instead of simply re-using these 3 basic words over and over.
Very big = enormous
Very small = tiny
Very smart = brilliant
Very bad = awful, horrible, dreadful
Very sure = certain
Very good = excellent, amazing, awesome
Very tasty = delicious
Examples:
- Your house is very big → enormous
- My apartment is very small → tiny
- You are very smart → brilliant
- This movie is very bad → awful
- I’m very sure I left my keys on the table → I’m certain
- This book is very good → excellent
- This food is very tasty → delicious
We can also add more interesting intensifiers before the better vocabulary words:
- Absolutely
- Awfully*
- Completely
- Exceptionally
- Particularly
- Quite
- Totally
- Dangerously
- highly
You’ll notice that often, certain intensifiers are paired with specific vocabulary words, for example:
Absolutely dreadful, horrible, delicious
Absolutely amazing, incredible, wonderful, fantastic, brilliant
Awfully good, interesting
Completely exhausted
Exceptionally intelligent
Particularly helpful
Quite certain
Totally crazy
Dangerously fast
Highly dangerous
Remember these pairings, called collocations! You’ll sound much more native-like. We can mix them up in different combinations too, but those are really common and easy to memorize and start using.
Examples
- Your house is very big → absolutely enormous
- My apartment is very small → awfully tiny
- You are very smart → totally brilliant
- This movie is very bad → completely awful
- I’m very sure I left my keys on the table → I’m quite certain
- This book is very good → particularly excellent
- This food is very tasty → dangerously delicious

Have you ever wondered how you can politely ask a question in English? Using an indirect question is one great way to do this.

How should you ask a stranger where the nearest bus stop is?

“I don’t care” can be very offensive because it could mean that it’s not important to me or it’s not much of a big deal for me.
For example:
“Do you want to paint the wall blue or brown?”
“I don’t care.”
or
“I don’t care. Whatever you like.”
Your tone and your expression here is the most important tip in speaking English.
So if you want to be on the safe side, it’s recommendable to use, “I don’t mind.”
Many of us sometimes feel confused with verb tenses. We feel unsure on how to apply it in various situations, especially, in conversation. They sound pretty much alike, with only a letter or two in difference, but each of these verb tenses has a different meaning. So it's really important that you know their differences and you know when and how to correctly use them. Today's Verbs: Today we will focus on these three verb combinations: have been has been had been Are you ready? Let's start learning! Using "Has Been" and "Have Been" Both "Has Been" and "Have Been" are under the present perfect tense. They are both used to talk about something that happened in the past, but is either still going on until the present day, or is still true until today. The difference between the two is that "Has Been" is for singular subjects like She, He, It. While "Have Been" is used for plural subjects like they and we. Let me give you some examples: "I have been to Paris and Italy." - This happened in the past but is still a true fact until today. "She's been an English teacher for over 20 years." - This means she started teaching 20 years ago and is still teaching until this day. "We have been part of this team for so long." - The team started in the past and is still together until present. "Chess has always been my favorite board game." - Chess is the singular subject. The speaker started playing chess in the past and continues to play chess today. "Has Been and "Have Been" can also be used as present perfect continuous tense. Similar to present perfect, the action started in the past, and the main difference of this tense is that the action is ongoing in the present day. Example: "I have been going to the same hairstylist since I was a teenager." - Meaning the speaker went to this hairstylist when she was younger and she continues this habit until today. "They have been arguing about that since this morning." - This sentence talks about people who have started their argument in the morning and has continued to argue at the moment. Using "Had Been" "Had Been" can also be used under two verb tenses. The first one is under the past perfect tense. This means that the action happened in the past or before a specific time in the past. For example: "Mary had been a top athlete in her school before her injury." "The two boys had been best friends until they fought over a girl. For the second of the 2 verb tenses it can be used under, "Had Been" can also be used as a past perfect continuous tense. It talks about a continuous action in the past, before another past action occurred. "I had been cleaning the house when I saw the big rat." "Charm had been reading her favorite book when she heard the loud noise from across the street." "The family had been laughing over a funny story when the phone rang." As a summary, remember that “have been” is paired with plural pronouns such as “we, they, you ...” And singular pronouns, “he, she, it” when we use “has been.” "Had been" can be used for both singular and plural subjects but they are used to talk about past actions which happened or which was continuously happening before another past action occurred. We might think that it’s not really enjoyable to learn grammar. But isn’t rewarding when we master it and don’t have to think whether what we are saying is right or wrong? So, let’s learn English in fun, easy and natural way to be a proficient English speaker!
