    ed.ted.com they have a lot of videos
  • 00:01:54
    most of them are like
  • 00:01:55
    two three minute long i want you to
  • 00:01:57
    select a topic
  • 00:01:58
    that you're interested in and i want you
  • 00:02:00
    to not just watch the video and by the
  • 00:02:02
    way you can watch it with subtitles or
  • 00:02:04
    without subtitles i would recommend to
  • 00:02:05
    start watching without
  • 00:02:06
    subtitles and see whether it makes sense
  • 00:02:08
    for you but it's also very important
  • 00:02:10
    that you choose the video that
  • 00:02:11
    corresponds with your interest
  • 00:02:12
    like if you're interested in psychology
  • 00:02:14
    take that video if you're interested in
  • 00:02:16
    geography take a geography video
  • 00:02:18
    then if you don't understand what's
  • 00:02:20
    going on switch on subtitles and the
  • 00:02:22
    next thing i want you to do is to click
  • 00:02:23
    on the think tab
  • 00:02:24
    because some of the videos on that
  • 00:02:26
    website have a comprehension test that
  • 00:02:28
    means you're going to test how much you
  • 00:02:29
    understood and some of the videos also
  • 00:02:31
    have additional information
  • 00:02:32
    under the dig deeper tab please explore
  • 00:02:34
    that one and share
  • 00:02:36
    your opinion about what you saw in the
  • 00:02:38
    discuss tab and when you share your
  • 00:02:40
    opinion
  • 00:02:40
    please let others know that you came
  • 00:02:42
    here from linguamarina channel

    and then you're advanced and what's next
  • 00:08:34
    so it's really important to think about
  • 00:08:36
    those next steps and make them more
  • 00:08:37
    specific like okay
  • 00:08:39
    if i'm advanced today i am applying for
  • 00:08:42
    harvard university and go to harvard
  • 00:08:44
    university's website
  • 00:08:45
    explore the programs write down the
  • 00:08:48
    criteria that they're looking for maybe
  • 00:08:50
    you also need toefl maybe also well you
  • 00:08:52
    need toefl maybe you need gmat maybe you
  • 00:08:54
    need something else like explore
  • 00:08:56
    that section this is super important
  • 00:08:58
    because this way you know oh once
  • 00:09:00
    i'm advanced i'm applying to harvard and
  • 00:09:02
    i already know the website i'm going to
  • 00:09:04
    like be
  • 00:09:04
    very specific in this task and again
  • 00:09:07
    write it down
  • 00:09:08
    in either exercise book or the pdf that
  • 00:09:10
    we've provided you with
  • 00:09:11
    day number 12 grammar and here i would
  • 00:09:13
    suggest downloading a workbook that i've
  • 00:09:15
    created together with my team
  • 00:09:16
    language grammar is all you need it
  • 00:09:18
    covers the most important aspects of
  • 00:09:20
    grammar and it has an exercise book so
  • 00:09:22
    you can practice
  • 00:09:23
    so today your task is to just download
  • 00:09:25
    it and start working on
  • 00:09:27
    one of the first topics that you select
  • 00:09:29
    there and again start with something
  • 00:09:31
    that looks the most difficult for you
  • 00:09:33
    always when you have a choice start with
  • 00:09:35
    something that's more difficult because
  • 00:09:36
    you're more enthusiastic at the
  • 00:09:37
    beginning of the process rather than
  • 00:09:39
    at the end of it day 13 13 is my
  • 00:09:42
    favorite number
  • 00:09:44
    words now today it's time to cross out
  • 00:09:46
    words that you highlighted before
  • 00:09:48
    that you already know by now so you just
  • 00:09:51
    cross them out and you say goodbye to
  • 00:09:52
    them because they're in your brain
  • 00:09:54
    but it's time for you to come up with
  • 00:09:55
    new words so you highlight 10 more words
  • 00:09:57
    and repeat the same practice
  • 00:09:59
    you write the sentences with them and
  • 00:10:01
    you also spend at least five minutes
  • 00:10:03
    just reading them
  • 00:10:04
    and thinking how you would be able to
  • 00:10:06
    use them
  • 00:10:07
    day 14 is again our day off you do
  • 00:10:09
    whatever you want i recommend watching a
  • 00:10:11
    netflix show called the one this is a
  • 00:10:13
    great show
  • 00:10:14
    i like their plot and i also like that
  • 00:10:15
    it's british english for a change
  • 00:10:17
    because i'm trying to speak american
  • 00:10:18
    and they're in the one they speak
  • 00:10:20
    british english
  • 00:10:21
    they have a lot of london in that tv
  • 00:10:23
    show so watch that one
  • 00:10:25
    write down new words and spend at least
  • 00:10:27
    five minutes repeating words from
  • 00:10:28
    yesterday
  • 00:10:29
    now you see that we're kind of repeating
  • 00:10:31
    the topics already
  • 00:10:32
    it's just because it's all about
  • 00:10:34
    consistency it's all about
  • 00:10:36
    being consistent with one particular
  • 00:10:37
    topic every single week
  • 00:10:39
    so week three and week four you just
  • 00:10:41
    repeat whatever we've done
  • 00:10:43
    before day 29 is when you tell yourself
  • 00:10:46
    i'm a hero
  • 00:10:48
    and you go back in your notes and you
  • 00:10:50
    like scroll through your exercise book
  • 00:10:52
    or pdf whatever you were doing
  • 00:10:53
    and ask yourself what was the most
  • 00:10:56
    difficult part
  • 00:10:57
    what was the most difficult thing and
  • 00:10:58
    you do it once again because if it was
  • 00:11:00
    difficult there is a big big chance
  • 00:11:02
    you haven't understood it completely or
  • 00:11:04
    maybe you still need time to
  • 00:11:06
    look at it once again so this is the day
  • 00:11:08
    where you look again
  • 00:11:09
    at the most difficult topic and day 30
  • 00:11:12
    is when you take your test
  • 00:11:14
    again you note your results and most
  • 00:11:16
    importantly you share them down
  • 00:11:18
    in comments here and you tell me about
  • 00:11:20

  • 00:11:22
