00:00 - 00:05
hey everyone my name is Kevin and this
00:02 - 00:05
is my story of learning
00:07 - 00:13
English this stage I call it confusion I
00:11 - 00:15
pretty much started my journey of
00:13 - 00:18
learning English like the majority of
00:15 - 00:21
you guys pretty average school only
00:18 - 00:24
difference is probably I was way below
00:21 - 00:26
average one or two months in the first
00:24 - 00:30
semester in middle school I still wasn't
00:26 - 00:31
able to recite the alphabet letters i
00:30 - 00:34
pretty much sucked all the way from
00:31 - 00:37
middle school to high school and fast
00:34 - 00:40
forward to University I was still
00:37 - 00:44
terrible it took me five or six tries
00:40 - 00:48
just to pass C4 but I didn't really care
00:44 - 00:50
that much I blame everything to the fact
00:48 - 00:53
that I was not working hard enough so I
00:50 - 00:55
thought if I start study English hard
00:53 - 00:57
enough I would definitely get better
00:55 - 01:00
right until the last year in University
00:57 - 01:02
I realized I definitely need to become
01:00 - 01:04
more serious about it cuz I majored in
01:02 - 01:07
international business and trade and I
01:04 - 01:08
was supposed to speak at least you know
01:07 - 01:11
average English being able to
01:08 - 01:14
communicate a little bit otherwise I
01:11 - 01:17
probably become a Jo immediately after
01:14 - 01:19
graduation I kind of got scared and I
01:17 - 01:22
started taking English seriously and I
01:19 - 01:25
hired a Canadian teacher online so we
01:22 - 01:28
had conversation I believe 15 to 20
01:25 - 01:30
minutes three times every week it
01:28 - 01:33
improved my listening a little bit but
01:30 - 01:35
other than that I I don't think it
01:33 - 01:38
helped really a lot fortunately I found
01:35 - 01:41
a job after graduation in international
01:38 - 01:42
business company but just working for
01:41 - 01:45
about I don't know several months I
01:42 - 01:48
decided to quit my job I just so wanted
01:45 - 01:50
to improve my English I have no idea why
01:48 - 01:53
I was so obsessed with improving my
01:50 - 01:56
English but I just so wanted to so I
01:53 - 01:59
decided to you know go abroad but I
01:56 - 02:02
couldn't afford going to Western
01:59 - 02:04
countries like like the US Canada So
02:02 - 02:07
eventually I decided to go travel around
02:04 - 02:09
southeast Asia and my reason was you
02:07 - 02:10
know there might be a lot of foreigners
02:09 - 02:13
traveling there so I might be able to
02:10 - 02:15
talk to them and also Filipinos they had
02:13 - 02:17
the reputation of speaking English
02:15 - 02:20
pretty well so I also went to the
02:17 - 02:23
Philippines and I actually enrolled in a
02:20 - 02:26
local University sign up for a language
02:23 - 02:29
program so I did that for a couple of
02:26 - 02:32
months I believe four months the program
02:29 - 02:34
it was not very helpful by the end I was
02:32 - 02:37
kind of like I actually learned much
02:34 - 02:39
much more efficiently uh myself as
02:37 - 02:42
compared to go into you know those
02:39 - 02:45
lessons so I kind of stayed at the
02:42 - 02:48
hostel and started using comprehensive
02:45 - 02:50
input M plus one all that kind of thing
02:48 - 02:52
it was kind of popular back then
02:50 - 02:55
probably a little bit overrated anyway
02:52 - 02:58
after that I went back to China several
02:55 - 03:02
months later I took how's test so I was
02:58 - 03:04
able to score 7.5 in out eight in
03:02 - 03:07
listening and reading and seven in
03:04 - 03:10
writing and speaking well just from a
03:07 - 03:13
scho point of view I was pretty decent
03:10 - 03:17
but in fact my level was kind of like in
03:13 - 03:20
a conversation I was able to understand
03:17 - 03:22
people but that's pretty much it and
03:20 - 03:25
then I would go like yes I understand
03:22 - 03:28
you and here is my opinion and then I
03:25 - 03:30
State my opinion and move on to the next
03:28 - 03:32
question so basically
03:30 - 03:35
I was not able to make joke I was not
03:32 - 03:39
able to be funny I was basically not
03:35 - 03:41
cool and fundamentally I think it's
03:39 - 03:43
because I was not able to connect with
03:41 - 03:45
people in a conversation the
03:43 - 03:49
conversation pretty much all of them
03:45 - 03:51
stayed on a very very surface level and
03:49 - 03:54
that really upset me cuz I thought I
03:51 - 03:56
invested so much I tried so hard I even
03:54 - 03:59
went to Southeast Asia to study English
03:56 - 04:01
but I still couldn't quite get there I
03:59 - 04:03
was so frustrated and I thought I
04:01 - 04:06
prettyy much tried everything what else
04:03 - 04:09
can I try maybe immersing myself in a
04:06 - 04:13
complete English speaking environment
04:09 - 04:17
and that is only possible by going to a
04:13 - 04:19
Western Country so I decided to go to
04:17 - 04:21
New Zealand in Australia apply for
04:19 - 04:23
working holiday Visa and went to New
04:21 - 04:25
Zealand stay there for half year and
04:23 - 04:27
then went to Australia but I didn't
04:25 - 04:31
really improve at all actually I think
04:27 - 04:33
my English level kind of graded but my
04:31 - 04:35
Chinese kind of got a little bit better
04:33 - 04:38
cuz there are so many you know Chinese
04:35 - 04:41
people living overseas and I got talk to
04:38 - 04:44
them I got listen to different kind of
04:41 - 04:47
accents so yeah that's kind of funny but
04:44 - 04:49
I don't want to blame like to say
04:47 - 04:51
immersing yourself in a English speaking
04:49 - 04:54
country doesn't really help I think it's
04:51 - 04:58
really because I was just physically
04:54 - 05:00
there but mentally and socially I wasn't
04:58 - 05:03
really there I was not ready for it I
05:00 - 05:05
was just so busy working every single
05:03 - 05:08
day trying to save us some money to pay
05:05 - 05:10
for my future tuition fees cuz I've
05:08 - 05:13
already made made up my mind to further
05:10 - 05:15
my study to pursue my master degree I
05:13 - 05:18
think that pretty much marks the end of
05:15 - 05:20
this stage it was full of confusions I
05:18 - 05:22
didn't really know how to improve
05:20 - 05:24
English I just you know hear a method
05:22 - 05:28
here and there online and then tried it
05:24 - 05:32
out sometimes I was so diligent working
05:28 - 05:34
so hard but not seeing any result so it
05:32 - 05:37
was kind of frustrating but that was a
05:37 - 05:43
yeah that stage I call it hustle through
05:41 - 05:46
so after working holiday ID I decided to
05:43 - 05:49
stay in Australia to pursue my master
05:46 - 05:51
degree in TSO teach English to speak as
05:49 - 05:52
other languages because I thought if I
05:51 - 05:54
learn how to teach English I'll
05:52 - 05:57
definitely be able to improve my own
05:54 - 06:00
English right but that was kind of a
05:57 - 06:03
wishful thinking I was to ear on cuz the
06:00 - 06:05
course heavily focuses on teaching
06:03 - 06:07
instead of learning so I learned a lot
06:05 - 06:10
of stuff about curriculum design
06:07 - 06:12
assignment assessment and teaching
06:10 - 06:15
methodology etc etc but didn't really
06:12 - 06:18
get to discover the secret of improving
06:15 - 06:22
your English on your own so the first
06:18 - 06:24
year I was basically coping I pretty
06:22 - 06:27
much struggled all the way through and
06:24 - 06:30
the second year that's when the real
06:27 - 06:32
change happened so at that I came across
06:30 - 06:34
a YouTuber basically what a guy was
06:32 - 06:37
saying was if you want to improve
06:34 - 06:39
English you got stop thinking English in
06:37 - 06:41
vocabulary and grammar so you got start
06:39 - 06:45
processing English through a word by
06:41 - 06:48
word manner or analyzing grammar you
06:45 - 06:51
need to process English through trunks
06:48 - 06:54
so listen to Trunks and speak in trunks
06:51 - 06:56
because that's how native speakers speak
06:54 - 06:59
and how they listen you got to match
06:56 - 07:01
your way of process English as they do
06:59 - 07:03
so that's very very essential it kind of
07:01 - 07:06
make a lot of sense and I think it's
07:03 - 07:08
pretty solid because once you change
07:06 - 07:11
your way of processing English from word
07:08 - 07:14
by word to chunk by chunk this will
07:11 - 07:16
significantly improve your accuracy your
07:14 - 07:18
authenticity because everything has been
07:16 - 07:21
pretty much preassembled before you even
07:18 - 07:24
speak them out it's already being put
07:21 - 07:28
together that means you have a less
07:24 - 07:30
chance to make a grammatical error or to
07:28 - 07:33
say something that that's pretty
07:30 - 07:35
Chinglish I don't mean accent but I mean
07:33 - 07:37
authenticity like if it's authentic
07:35 - 07:40
expression it's already being pretty you
07:37 - 07:42
know put together by native speakers you
07:40 - 07:44
are less likely to make an error and
07:42 - 07:47
also you will significantly improve your
07:44 - 07:50
fluency because you are speaking English
07:47 - 07:52
chunk by chunk that means a chunk is one
07:50 - 07:56
unit of information so you're sort of
07:52 - 07:59
speaking this as one single unit and
07:56 - 08:00
everything will start flowing smoothly
08:00 - 08:04
I've never heard about anything like
08:01 - 08:07
that so I started implementing it and
08:04 - 08:09
also at the same time uh I was you know
08:07 - 08:11
starting getting into the the third
08:09 - 08:14
semester the second year uh I was
08:11 - 08:17
writing a lot of papers and also
08:14 - 08:19
dissertations and on top of that I had
08:17 - 08:22
to attend some other units so a lot of
08:19 - 08:25
assignments and also placements my day
08:22 - 08:27
just got busier and busier and I was
08:25 - 08:30
like I can't keep on going anymore I
08:27 - 08:32
definitely need to figure out a way to
08:30 - 08:35
manage my life so I started to looking
08:32 - 08:38
at productivity costes and how to build
08:35 - 08:40
habits those kind of videos and books I
08:38 - 08:43
researched a lot and I consumed a lot of
08:40 - 08:45
information in regard to that and
08:43 - 08:48
eventually I sort of Built My Own
08:45 - 08:50
productivity system so I was able to be
08:48 - 08:52
on top of pretty much everything that in
08:50 - 08:56
turn improved my English learning
08:52 - 09:00
efficiency so I was able to study chunks
08:56 - 09:03
for about 6 months consecutively and I
09:00 - 09:05
really saw a huge progress especially in
09:03 - 09:08
listening and speaking and the progress
09:05 - 09:11
that I made in this 6 months long it's a
09:08 - 09:14
lot bigger than everything that I
09:11 - 09:17
learned all the progress I put together
09:14 - 09:19
in the previous decades and I'm not even
09:17 - 09:23
exaggerating that's how powerful it is
09:19 - 09:25
changing your language processing habits
09:23 - 09:28
it is true that I was making progress
09:25 - 09:31
but every day seemed to be super super
09:28 - 09:34
busy and I felt like I was fighting
09:31 - 09:35
forgetting curve every single day if
09:34 - 09:37
you're familiar with forgetting curve
09:35 - 09:38
you know the first day you learn
09:37 - 09:41
something you feel like you actually
09:38 - 09:45
know it but you start forgetting pretty
09:41 - 09:47
quickly so you have to constantly revise
09:45 - 09:50
to space reputation to flatten the
09:47 - 09:52
forgetting curve and that was exactly
09:50 - 09:55
how I felt I was like trying to flatten
09:52 - 09:58
the forgetting curve every single day
09:55 - 10:00
but the amount of trunk just started
09:58 - 10:03
accumulating there was just more trunks
10:00 - 10:05
that I had to revise every day and the
10:03 - 10:08
trunk that I had to revise was not as
10:05 - 10:12
easy as when it just started out it was
10:08 - 10:15
a lot more difficult so I just couldn't
10:12 - 10:18
cope yeah I just couldn't deal with it
10:15 - 10:20
even with this productivity I couldn't
10:18 - 10:23
do it anymore so at the end of the six
10:20 - 10:26
months I was experiencing a severe sty
10:23 - 10:30
burnout I just couldn't keep on going so
10:26 - 10:32
I took a break and that break last
10:30 - 10:34
quite a while several months but isn't
10:32 - 10:37
all of our English study full of up and
10:34 - 10:39
down you know on and off on and off on
10:37 - 10:42
and off it's not always on it's always
10:39 - 10:44
on and off but something happened in the
10:42 - 10:48
next stage I never stopped learning
10:44 - 10:50
again I was always um and I never felt
10:48 - 10:54
really exhausted tired mentally
10:50 - 11:00
exhausted not really I just wanted to
10:54 - 11:03
learn more cuz I genuinely wanted to
11:00 - 11:05
so that stage I call it the big picture
11:03 - 11:08
and that happens after I graduated to
11:05 - 11:11
for my master program and I decided to
11:08 - 11:14
pursue my PhD degree haven't really
11:11 - 11:16
taken the action yet but I was thinking
11:14 - 11:18
about it but I was like I kind of got a
11:16 - 11:20
little bit tired of T so don't get me
11:18 - 11:23
wrong I'm still very interested in
11:20 - 11:26
language learning and teaching it's just
11:23 - 11:29
that I realized I was more interested in
11:26 - 11:32
cognitive science psychology
11:29 - 11:35
Behavior you know basically how people
11:32 - 11:38
acquire a new skill and how some people
11:35 - 11:40
are able to acquire new skill a lot
11:38 - 11:43
faster than others how do they manage to
11:40 - 11:47
do that I'm really curious about that so
11:43 - 11:49
I started reading papers articles books
11:47 - 11:52
sign up several courses I think I
11:49 - 11:54
actually did a lot more reading during
11:52 - 11:58
this period of time even though I did
11:54 - 12:00
whole lot of rating during my master um
11:58 - 12:03
is T so you know bot of papers but
12:00 - 12:06
anyway I was fortunate enough to come
12:03 - 12:09
across a theory called Bloom's taxonomy
12:06 - 12:11
basically says there are orders in
12:09 - 12:14
learning not all learning is equal some
12:11 - 12:17
are high order some are low order low
12:14 - 12:19
order learning is very very inefficient
12:17 - 12:21
and that includes memorization basically
12:19 - 12:23
real learning if you're a way of
12:21 - 12:26
learning English is through memorization
12:23 - 12:28
is very effective actually long-term
12:26 - 12:31
wise I wouldn't say it's effective at
12:28 - 12:35
all it's just not even close because it
12:31 - 12:37
requires zero mental power it just
12:35 - 12:39
memorization one level above that you
12:37 - 12:42
have understanding you often hear people
12:39 - 12:45
say to fully Master something you have
12:42 - 12:49
to understand it but understanding is
12:45 - 12:53
still very very cheap learning very low
12:49 - 12:56
order learning cuz it's just recognition
12:53 - 12:59
you see something you look at a word and
12:56 - 13:01
you are like well I understand it I know
12:59 - 13:03
what it means and you move on to the
13:01 - 13:06
next word there is very very minimum
13:03 - 13:09
effort going into it so you requir
13:06 - 13:12
minimum engagement minimum you know
13:09 - 13:15
mental power to process the information
13:12 - 13:18
and as a result it's not as effective as
13:15 - 13:20
you may think so understanding is really
13:18 - 13:23
overrated and what we want to do is not
13:20 - 13:24
really abandon memorization and
13:23 - 13:27
understanding all together we still need
13:24 - 13:29
them but what we want to do is really to
13:27 - 13:32
skip these two steps and jum jump into
13:29 - 13:36
higher order learning direct and higher
13:32 - 13:39
order learning includes apply analyze
13:36 - 13:41
evaluate and create create is kind of
13:39 - 13:43
difficult creating something is like you
13:41 - 13:46
taking the bie of information that you
13:43 - 13:49
acquired somewhere else here and there
13:46 - 13:51
and try to put them together as the
13:49 - 13:53
original thing that you saw you learned
13:51 - 13:55
or trying to come up with something
13:53 - 13:57
that's completely new that you could
13:55 - 14:01
call your own that's very very difficult
13:57 - 14:03
to do so the most economical way to go
14:01 - 14:06
about higher order learning is really
14:03 - 14:09
through analyzing and evaluating so
14:06 - 14:12
analyzing and evaluating pretty much is
14:09 - 14:16
about rearranging information in a more
14:12 - 14:18
clear logic and simple way so that they
14:16 - 14:20
can stand out in your brain and the
14:18 - 14:22
connections between between information
14:20 - 14:25
are just so strong there are so many
14:22 - 14:28
connections that you won't be able to
14:25 - 14:31
forget it even if you want to and I
14:28 - 14:34
can't honestly say that now when I study
14:31 - 14:37
something I look at it once I study it
14:34 - 14:40
once I won't be able to forget it I just
14:37 - 14:43
remember like 70 to 80% after this one
14:40 - 14:45
time learning and a month later I still
14:43 - 14:48
will be able to recall roughly around 70
14:45 - 14:50
to 80% of the stuff that I learned
14:48 - 14:52
that's just how powerful higher order
14:50 - 14:55
learning is and you may Wonder how's
14:52 - 14:57
that possible well that's because higher
14:55 - 15:00
order learning for higher order learning
14:57 - 15:03
to happen lower order learning will just
15:00 - 15:07
naturally happen to evaluate something
15:03 - 15:10
to analyze something to apply something
15:07 - 15:12
you have to understand if you don't
15:10 - 15:14
understand it you won't be able to do
15:12 - 15:17
higher order learning so if just skip
15:14 - 15:19
the lower order learning steps and start
15:17 - 15:21
with higher order learning the lower
15:19 - 15:25
order learning will just happen
15:21 - 15:28
naturally that's why it is possible to
15:25 - 15:30
remember things so efficient way
15:28 - 15:33
basically everything that I talked about
15:30 - 15:36
here is called encoding so essentially
15:33 - 15:38
better encoding equals better
15:36 - 15:41
memorization if you want to remember
15:38 - 15:44
something the key is now to memorize it
15:41 - 15:46
many many times that kind of helps but
15:44 - 15:49
long-term R you going to forget about it
15:46 - 15:51
what's really efficient here is improve
15:49 - 15:54
your encoding quality and that can only
15:51 - 15:57
be done to higher all the learning so
15:54 - 16:00
better encoding equals better memory
15:57 - 16:02
that's a key and that really change the
16:00 - 16:04
game for me aart from Bloom and taxonomy
16:02 - 16:08
I also learned to copes learning
16:04 - 16:12
experimental cycle copes is really the
16:08 - 16:16
guideline of developing a growth mindset
16:12 - 16:19
in your life a growth mindset is I just
16:16 - 16:23
couldn't emphasize how important it is
16:19 - 16:25
it really teaches me to open my heart to
16:25 - 16:31
failure cuz failure is the faster way to
16:28 - 16:34
get better without failures you won't be
16:31 - 16:37
able to learn and this growth mentality
16:34 - 16:40
brought up by C's experimental CYO
16:37 - 16:42
together with Bloom's taxonomy higher
16:40 - 16:44
order learning gave me a lot of
16:42 - 16:47
confidence and for the first time in my
16:44 - 16:49
life I felt so confident I was like if I
16:47 - 16:52
really wanted to acquire a new skill I
16:49 - 16:54
could make it happen I could definitely
16:52 - 16:57
make it happen and for the first time in
16:54 - 16:59
life I was no longer running away from
16:57 - 17:04
failure running away from trying new
16:59 - 17:09
things I was opening my heart Embrace
17:04 - 17:10
failures but am I really not really I
17:09 - 17:12
didn't really have everything figured
17:10 - 17:15
out yet but I think I was kind of on the
17:12 - 17:19
right path uh and something else happens
17:15 - 17:22
in the next stage completely changed the
17:19 - 17:24
trajectory of my journey of learning
17:22 - 17:28
English and my
17:24 - 17:30
life this stage I call a have fun
17:28 - 17:34
throughout my journey of learning
17:30 - 17:37
English I had this fear for failure I
17:34 - 17:39
was afraid of making mistakes I was
17:37 - 17:42
afraid of talking to foreigners I was
17:39 - 17:45
afraid of how other people might think
17:42 - 17:48
of me will they perceive me as silly or
17:45 - 17:51
stupid what if I do this wrong what if I
17:48 - 17:53
do that wrong what if this what if that
17:51 - 17:56
there were just so many
17:53 - 18:00
doubts but I so wanted to get better
17:56 - 18:04
English so there were always be a little
18:00 - 18:06
voice inside of my head telling myself
18:04 - 18:09
hey do you want to get better or not if
18:06 - 18:12
you want go ahead and do it put yourself
18:09 - 18:14
together get your ass off just suck it
18:12 - 18:17
if you want to get better sometimes I
18:14 - 18:22
did overcome my fear I got out my
18:17 - 18:25
comfort zone I go ahead and do it but it
18:22 - 18:28
was so exhausting cuz the next time I
18:25 - 18:30
will still be fearing the same thing and
18:28 - 18:33
later I find there were just so many
18:30 - 18:35
fears in my life cuz I'm a human being
18:33 - 18:38
and I will never be able to overcome all
18:35 - 18:41
of them so I felt like I was fighting a
18:38 - 18:45
battle I would never be able to win and
18:41 - 18:49
that never changed until this year 2022
18:45 - 18:51
it's only March but this 3
18:49 - 18:54
months a lot of things happened
18:51 - 18:57
completely changed my life I reflected
18:54 - 19:00
my life a lot and I thought there's
18:57 - 19:03
really no cure for that problem there's
19:00 - 19:06
no cure for fear cuz fear will just
19:03 - 19:09
exist we're human beings and the only
19:06 - 19:11
way that we might be able to make the
19:09 - 19:14
situation a little bit better is to
19:11 - 19:17
approach it in a different way through
19:14 - 19:19
curiosity instead of thinking about
19:17 - 19:21
overcoming our fears instead of thinking
19:19 - 19:24
about getting out of comfort zone when
19:21 - 19:27
you are wanting to have a conversation
19:24 - 19:29
with a foreigner but you are afraid of
19:27 - 19:32
doing that stop thinking about
19:29 - 19:34
overcoming the fear start thinking about
19:32 - 19:36
what he's doing here I find this guy
19:34 - 19:39
pretty cool I want to know more about
19:36 - 19:41
him start getting curious about it again
19:39 - 19:42
just go ahead and have a conversation
19:41 - 19:44
with him to find the answer that you're
19:42 - 19:47
looking for a lot of things were just
19:44 - 19:50
naturally happen without you even
19:47 - 19:53
realizing it happened that's a power of
19:50 - 19:55
curiosity once you start getting curious
19:53 - 19:58
about things you just naturally do it
19:55 - 20:01
without anybody pushing you without this
19:58 - 20:05
voice inside of head telling you go do
20:01 - 20:07
it suck it up no you just naturally do
20:05 - 20:09
it and I think this not only applies to
20:07 - 20:12
English learning it applies to life as
20:09 - 20:14
well you want to be curious about
20:12 - 20:16
strangers you want to be curious about
20:14 - 20:18
whatever you're learning you want to be
20:16 - 20:20
curious about your life you want to be
20:18 - 20:23
curious about your loved ones once you
20:20 - 20:25
lose your Curiosity on someone you love
20:23 - 20:27
your relationship dies once you lose
20:25 - 20:30
your Curiosity on something that you do
20:27 - 20:32
you no longer do with your heart once
20:30 - 20:35
you lose your curiosity towards the
20:32 - 20:39
world you die even though you're
20:35 - 20:42
physically alive and I think life really
20:39 - 20:45
is a choice it's either you decide to go
20:42 - 20:47
about your life with the mentality of
20:45 - 20:50
overcoming your fear getting out your
20:47 - 20:52
comfort zone or you decide to be curious
20:52 - 20:59
world yeah so that's basically the last
20:57 - 21:02
stage and I can see that is at the
20:59 - 21:06
opening of a new eror it just made my
21:02 - 21:09
life a lot more interesting and I'm not
21:06 - 21:11
really fearing about the future anymore
21:09 - 21:13
and I'm not regretting about what
21:11 - 21:16
happened in the past because it really
21:13 - 21:19
it's not something that I could change I
21:16 - 21:21
totally don't have control over that um
21:19 - 21:25
and I'm really excited about what the
21:21 - 21:28
future has in store for me cuz I'm full
21:25 - 21:30
of curiosity now yeah
21:28 - 21:33
so these are the four stages in my
21:30 - 21:36
Learning Journey and just to be clear
21:33 - 21:38
it's not that I complete one stage and I
21:36 - 21:41
just compl it for go that stage and move
21:38 - 21:44
on to the next one no that's not true
21:41 - 21:46
they are actually a ho they work
21:44 - 21:48
together just like we become a person
21:46 - 21:51
who we are now because what happened in
21:48 - 21:54
the past we don't abandon the past just
21:51 - 21:57
because we think they are a waste of
21:54 - 21:58
time instead we build a p the past
21:57 - 22:01
sometimes when we don't see the result
21:58 - 22:03
out it's not our efforts going to waste
22:01 - 22:06
it's sometimes because we have the wrong
22:03 - 22:09
expectation to believe that efforts and
22:06 - 22:12
meant to give us results no efforts are
22:09 - 22:16
not meant to give us results efforts are
22:12 - 22:18
meant to show us a direction the more we
22:16 - 22:21
try the more effort we put in the
22:18 - 22:23
clearer the road will become even if
22:21 - 22:25
it's a road that we've never traveled
22:23 - 22:28
before or if it's a road that no one has
22:25 - 22:31
ever traveled before it will become
22:28 - 22:34
clear if we keep on putting in the
22:31 - 22:37
effort for me my story of learning
22:34 - 22:40
English is really more than that it's a
22:37 - 22:41
story of finding myself I hope this
22:40 - 22:43
video give you a little bit different
22:41 - 22:46
perspective towards language
22:43 - 22:49
learning and my name is Kevin and this
