  1. Hey, Lindsay.0:41
  2. Good, good.0:42
  3. How are you?0:43
  4. Awesome.0:44
  5. I'm so excited to be here.0:45
  6. I'm actually recording from Boston.0:46
  7. I'm excited.0:49
  8. I'm looking out over the ocean.0:50
  9. It's a beautiful day here in Boston.0:51
  10. How's the weather in New York City?0:53
  11. It's chilly today.0:55
  12. It is.0:56
  13. Yeah, I was walking and it is, yeah, it is.0:57
  14. But yesterday was beautiful and warm and today it's not so much that it's so chilly.1:00
  15. It's also just the wind.1:06
  16. It's very windy.1:08
  17. The wind gets so windy on the East Coast.1:09
  18. It's true.1:12
  19. Did you go for a long walk or just like a 10 minute walk or a 30 minute walk or how much time were you walking?1:13
  20. Total, well, I was with my son for part of the walk and that was the long part of the walk.1:19
  21. It was the same distance.1:23
  22. One way with him took about 25 minutes and then one way without him took about 10 minutes.1:25
  23. Oh, everything takes longer with your son is what you're telling me.1:31
  24. Oh, yeah.1:35
  25. Oh, look at that building.1:36
  26. Look at that.1:37
  27. What's that?1:38
  28. Oh, yeah.1:39
  29. Well, he's not on a tight schedule.1:39
  30. I mean, he's got a lot of extra time.1:42
  31. He's not concerned about the time yet, right?1:44
  32. He's not, no.1:46
  33. Yeah.1:48
  34. So, but yeah, there are, you know, I mean, I actually yesterday I did take a 30 minute walk.1:48
  35. Nice.1:54
  36. That's a good, I feel like 30 minutes is such a good amount of time to do something substantial but not to over commit.1:55
  37. You know, right?2:03
  38. It is kind of a good amount of time.2:04
  39. You don't feel overwhelmed.2:06
  40. Do you ever like when you're watching a TV show or if you're about to start a new show and you see, you're like, how long are the episodes and2:07
  41. you see that each episode is an hour and you're like, oh, yeah.2:15
  42. I don't know if I want to commit to that, but if you see it's 30 minutes, it's much less of a commitment.2:19
  43. Totally.2:24
  44. 30 minutes is so digestible.2:25
  45. That's a great bonus phrase for today digestible, right?2:27
  46. We can finish it.2:30
  47. And it's also, I think the, I've mentioned before the Pomodoro method is a time management system.2:31
  48. I believe those times are either 30, 35 or 40 minutes somewhere in that window.2:37
  49. That's just, you can do it, but you don't lose focus.2:42
  50. That's the key, Michelle, right?2:45
  51. Right, exactly.2:47
  52. So, I mean, Lindsay, I'm glad that you brought up this 30 minute thing because one thing that people can do is learn English in 30 minutes, right?2:48
  53. Practice your English in 30 minutes, right?2:56
  54. Through focused practice.2:58
  55. I mean, do you think it's possible to learn a language in 30 minutes?3:00
  56. Well, like learn the entire language in 30 minutes?3:04
  57. Yeah.3:07
  58. Well, maybe there are some genuses that can.3:08
  59. I wish I had that skill.3:11
  60. No.3:12
  61. But I think if you commit yourself to doing anything for 30 minutes every day for a couple of years, in that case, yeah, I do think if you do3:13
  62. the right things in those 30 minutes, I think you could.3:21
  63. Yeah.3:24
  64. Right, right, right.3:24
  65. And all learning really depends on like what you put into it.3:25
  66. So your motivation, the context of your learning, how much time you have, things like that.3:28
  67. So I mean, you can learn and practice some English every day or every couple of days in 30 minutes.3:33
  68. I mean, so that's what we're going to talk about today.3:40
  69. And guys, this episode is on YouTube.3:42
  70. So remember to hit subscribe wherever you, I mean, well, not wherever because you are watching this on YouTube.3:44
  71. So go to YouTube and subscribe to our channel.3:50
  72. But let's talk about like, Lindsay, how can we learn our English or practice English in 30 minutes?3:53
  73. All right, guys.4:00
  74. So today we have four different ideas, four different things that you can do if you only have 30 minutes a day or even 30 minutes a week is okay,4:00
  75. right?4:09
  76. This is a 30 minute chunk of time that you can dedicate.4:09
  77. The first thing you can do, Michelle, is you can listen to a TV show or a podcast.4:12
  78. If you listen to all those English, you can do two and 30 minutes and we designed that on purpose.4:16
  79. Didn't we, Michelle, for exactly, exactly, you can get listening to two all ears English in 30 minutes and feel accomplished, right?4:21
  80. Or you can, you can watch a 30 minute TV show.4:29
  81. I mean, most sitcoms are 30 minutes or actually less.4:31
  82. But you know, whatever it is, take, make it a 30 minute thing.4:35
  83. And, you know, just listen to something, watch something and, you know, take notes if that works for you.4:39
  84. Yeah, we're back onto some of our shows that came back up in the fall, right?4:45
  85. So we're back onto the good doctor.4:49
  86. And I think when you take out ads, it ends up being like, like 20 minutes or something crazy.4:51
  87. But if you record it ahead of time and then you go back, you can fast forward the ad.4:56
  88. That is a hack.5:00
  89. That is a hack, right?5:00
  90. So new Amsterdam I like.5:02
  91. I like the good doctor.5:03
  92. What are you into these days, Michelle?5:05
  93. Ted Lafso.5:06
  94. Yeah, you told me about that.5:07
  95. Okay.5:09
  96. I was going to talk about that.5:09
  97. Yeah, Ted Lafso.5:10
  98. Oh God.5:13
  99. I mean, I'm still just, I'm still just watching Seinfeld over and over.5:14
  100. What else am I watching?5:18
  101. You know, there are a few shows that I'm about to, I'm considering starting, but I'm kind of just working my way through Ted Lafso and I'll probably be done5:20
  102. with that in a couple of days.5:28
  103. All right.5:30
  104. Well, keep us up to date.5:30
  105. If you find anything good and new that our listeners could also jump onto, let us know in those 30 minutes.5:31
  106. So good.5:36
  107. So good.5:37
  108. Yes.5:37
  109. Absolutely.5:38
  110. So I mean, Lindsay, another thing that you guys could do is have a 30 minute conversation clock, right?5:39
  111. Talk with a friend for 30 minutes.5:46
  112. Now this might seem, you know, sometimes I might say talk with a friend for two minutes or three minutes or any amount of time and any amount of time5:48
  113. is good, but 30 minutes is a really deep amount of time where you can have this deeper discussion.5:55
  114. You can talk about something you watched.6:02
  115. You can talk about something personal.6:03
  116. You can talk about a problem.6:05
  117. You can talk about real life.6:07
  118. So 30 minutes, just time it for 30 minutes.6:08
  119. See what happens, even though it might seem intimidating, just see what happens, even if there's a moment where you're like, I don't know what to say.6:11
  120. See if you can keep it going and that's the challenge.6:20
  121. Yeah, I like this kind of method because it changes the dynamic of the conversation a little bit and it becomes kind of a fun little challenge.6:22
  122. It's a bit like the Pomodoro method because you're hitting a timer and you're saying, I'm going to do this very one thing, this one thing for 30 minutes.6:29
  123. It also reminds me of the IELTS exam.6:36
  124. In speaking part two guys, you need to speak for that full two minutes.6:38
  125. You need to tell a story.6:42
  126. Okay.6:44
  127. And by the way, Michelle, where can our listeners go if they want to learn more about speaking part two on IELTS and all the speaking parts?6:44
  128. Oh my gosh.6:50
  129. Go listen to Jessica and Aubrey on the IELTS Energy podcast.6:51
  130. Yeah, you got it.6:55
  131. So that's the second suggestion from us here today, guys.6:56
  132. Talk to a friend for 30 minutes.6:59
  133. Make it work.7:01
  134. Make it happen.7:01
  135. Love it.7:03
  136. What else?7:03
  137. Um, the next thing you can do is read something and explain it to a friend.7:04
  138. So maybe you have the first 15 minutes where you're like, maybe you're both reading the same thing.7:09
  139. Maybe you're reading one thing and the other person's reading another thing, but say, okay, something that could take you 10 or 15 minutes.7:15
  140. And then you have the rest of the time to explain what you read to the other person and discuss.7:21
  141. Okay.7:26
  142. I like it.7:26
  143. So this is again, going with the stopwatch method, right?7:27
  144. Michelle, like we're stop, we're starting the clock and then we're going to stop it.7:29
  145. And, but you're going to, you're going to spend 30 minutes just explicitly.7:33
  146. You have to go into real depth then in your explanation.7:36
  147. If you're going to talk for 30 minutes, right?7:39
  148. Right, right, right.7:41
  149. And this one, this one is also involved with reading.7:43
  150. You could even, I mean, it doesn't have to be reading.7:45
  151. Guys, we've talked recently about like reading and writing and things like that.7:47
  152. It could be that you read something for 15 minutes and then you write about it for 15 minutes.7:51
  153. Why not have this do something and have something to do with writing here?7:55
  154. Yeah.7:59
  155. The thing is what we're doing here, guys, is we're putting constraints and we're making this a habit.8:00
  156. So we're saying, you know, from eight to eight 30 a .m.8:04
  157. nice and fresh in the morning.8:07
  158. Every day I'm going to do this exercise and then I'm going to be done with my English.8:08
  159. It's kind of nice that way because you tick the box, right?8:12
  160. I'm very task oriented.8:15
  161. Are you, Michelle?8:16
  162. I think you are.8:17
  163. You get your work done for the day.8:20
  164. So good.8:22
  165. Oh yeah.8:23
  166. Yeah.8:24
  167. Yeah.8:24
  168. And actually that leads into the last tip that we have.8:24
  169. So you said like it reminds me of exercise, right?8:28
  170. So you have your exercise and this is something, I mean, guys, I think, what do they say you should exercise 30 minutes a day, five days a week?8:31
  171. I don't hit that anymore, but I'm still, I'm still working.8:38
  172. I'm still, I'm still guys, I am still exercising, but more like three days a week.8:45
  173. But yeah, you do.8:51
  174. So do it during exercise, guys.8:53
  175. Maybe distract yourself from the burn.8:55
  176. Lindsay, what does that mean?8:57
  177. The burn, the burn.8:59
  178. I had the burn last night in my orange theory class.9:00
  179. Oh my gosh, the burn.9:02
  180. We know, right?9:04
  181. So when the muscles, you feel it in the muscles and they are the, the, what is it?9:04
  182. The glucose.9:08
  183. Lactic acid.9:09
  184. I think it's the lactic acid.9:09
  185. Yes, you got it, Michelle.9:12
  186. I'm a scientist.9:13
  187. Building up in your muscle and you just feel it.9:15
  188. It burns.9:17
  189. It hurts, right?9:18
  190. Especially at the end of a long sprint, you're pushing your body.9:19
  191. So what, what could we do here, Michelle, then?9:22
  192. During that exercise?9:24
  193. Well, first of all, you could, whatever exercise you're doing, if you're doing like a video, I mean, so we have the Peloton.9:25
  194. Yeah, you have.9:32
  195. And yeah.9:33
  196. And, and sometimes Dan, I mean, he's not trying to learn German, but like there's like a German, like a German teacher.9:34
  197. And sometimes Dan will just like take a class in German.9:41
  198. So maybe like take an exercise class in a different language.9:44
  199. I mean, take, try it in English, like, you know, because there are going to be little things that you pick up on from that.9:49
  200. So or, or distract yourself, count down in English.9:55
  201. While you're exercising, you could also just name things around the room.9:59
  202. Like if you're like lifting, just be like, okay, while I'm doing these 10 reps, I'm going to name 10 things in the room or something like that.10:03
  203. Just have, try and think in English during your workout.10:12
  204. And this is totally the, I feel like this is the secret to learning a language.10:15
  205. This is how I learned Spanish quickly.10:19
  206. By always having an inner dialogue, I think because my mind in general is so darn busy all the time.10:21
  207. Like, and, but in this case, it worked in a good way, in a positive way.10:27
  208. It helped me because at that point, the dialogue in English in my head became in Spanish, right?10:30
  209. It was now in Spanish.10:35
  210. So I was just saying things that I was narrating in my head.10:36
  211. Your own neuroses becomes your best asset when it comes to learning a language.10:41
  212. I mean, it's true.10:47
  213. That's the goal is like we talk about thinking in English.10:48
  214. And so just make it that extra challenge to think in English during a workout or think in English while you're doing something else.10:51
  215. Yes.11:00
  216. Or like you said, Michelle, just repeating, if you're taking an exercise class, a Peloton class for our listeners, if it's in English, you can just repeat the instruction from11:01
  217. the teacher.11:10
  218. And that's simple practice, right?11:11
  219. Right.11:13
  220. Yeah.11:13
  221. There's so many ways to get creative with it.11:14
  222. I mean, like, I mean, in 30 minutes, what can you learn?11:16
  223. I mean, you could learn a list of vocabulary words, maybe like five words is a good, good thing.11:20
  224. Five, six, seven words, right?11:25
  225. What else, what else could you do?11:28
  226. Learn in 30 minutes or practice?11:29
  227. I mean, you could learn a new grammar concept and you could practice it.11:31
  228. Or you could just reinforce it by practicing it.11:35
  229. That's you could totally learn a new current event, right?11:38
  230. You could use the news as your subject.11:41
  231. You can go out, read the New York Times, understand what's going on with the economy right now, right?11:43
  232. Inflation is a big deal right now.11:48
  233. Learn about that and use English to dive into it and to explain it and talk about it.11:50
  234. So good.11:55
  235. Right, right, right.11:56
  236. Or a piece of cultural information.11:57
  237. Maybe you're watching a TV show and you learn something about the culture through that.11:59
  238. So like you can also, you know, instead of just going in and saying, oh, I'm just watching this show, you can be like, OK, well, what, what do I12:03
  239. want to learn in this 30 minutes?12:10
  240. Do I want to learn vocabulary?12:11
  241. Am I looking for something cultural?12:12
  242. Right.12:15
  243. Am I looking for, am I listening for maybe a potential grammar point?12:15
  244. Right.12:19
  245. So you can go in with that goal as well.12:19
  246. Yeah, we're being in an extra layer.12:23
  247. Yes, exactly.12:25
  248. I think the most successful language learners, Michelle, they are intentional about how they're learning about what they're doing and why they're learning the language.12:26
  249. Right.12:34
  250. It's all about being intentional.12:34
  251. Don't let life just guide you to where it wants to take you.12:35
  252. You take life by the horns, right?12:38
  253. As we say, and just go to where you want to go, guys.12:41
  254. I mean, that's that's huge.12:44
  255. That's the part of being happy, right, Michelle?12:45
  256. Exactly.12:47
  257. Exactly.12:48
  258. So be intentional with it.12:49
  259. Have fun.12:51
  260. It is kind of fun to say, what am I doing in this 30 minute chunk of time and just like exercise you, you know, if you're going to do12:52
  261. an exercise for 30 minutes, you know, have it.12:59
  262. This is your exercise too.13:02
  263. You know, think of it in that way.13:03
  264. Exactly.13:05
  265. It's a way to not feel guilty about not studying, right?13:06
  266. Because when when you're saying I have to study English, it's so nebulous and so broad.13:09
  267. When, how, what, how long?13:14
  268. But if instead you say every day from seven to seven thirty, I'm going to study.13:16
  269. I'm going to do one thing for 30 minutes that takes care of it.13:19
  270. That takes care of it.13:22
  271. And then you're done.13:23
  272. And then you're done.13:25
  273. And that's how you feel at the end of exercise, right?13:26
  274. Sometimes, like, I mean, I'm sure you go.13:28
  275. I mean, if I think most human beings going into exercise, it's kind of like, you know, yeah, maybe you start to get a little bit more excited about it13:31
  276. as it becomes a habit.13:41
  277. But then, like actually the other day, Dan said to me, I there is never a time when he regrets doing exercise.13:42
  278. Like sometimes it's hard to go on.13:50
  279. But like at the end, you always feel better, of course, unless you injure yourself, not going to win.13:51
  280. But like you, like there, I don't think anybody then thinks like that was awful.13:55
  281. Why did I do that?14:00
  282. There's usually some, you know, then dolphins are flowing and you usually feel good.14:01
  283. And I think that the same is for learning something.14:06
  284. Exactly.14:09
  285. It's not always easy to get off the couch and go to that workout class.14:10
  286. And the same with this.14:13
  287. But if you it's almost like you're doing your thinking ahead of time, the planning is already done for you with this 30 minute plan.14:14
  288. It's already done.14:20
  289. All you got to do is execute the plan and you will have those endorphins, right?14:21
  290. You'll have that feeling of I did it.14:25
  291. I'm done.14:27
  292. I can go do whatever I want today now.14:27
  293. Yeah.14:29
  294. Exactly.14:30
  295. Exactly.14:31
  296. Oh my gosh.14:32
  297. So Lindsay, I mean, what's the takeaway for today?14:33
  298. The answer is Michelle, you can learn English in 30 minutes.14:35
  299. Absolutely.14:39
  300. I would say it could be more effective than three hours if you do the right things and if you do it regularly.14:39
  301. Yeah.14:45
  302. For sure.14:45
  303. Yeah.14:46
  304. It's a perfect amount of time to practice.14:47
  305. So let us know which one of these tips connected with you the most.14:50
  306. Yes.14:53
  307. You know, do you do 30 minutes?14:54
  308. Do you do a different amount of time?14:56
  309. But try it for 30 minutes.14:57
  310. See how the 30 minute thing goes.14:59
  311. I love it.15:00
  312. So good.15:01
