Introduction

Introduction

Hey student, are you ready for another warm-up? Because today is warm-up day four in the Fluent in Six workshop. On Monday, we got started with this workshop where I’m showing you how to go from stuck to speaking within six months by unlocking your two brain codes.

So far, we have two episodes available. Tomorrow, episode three will become available for those students who registered for the workshop.

If you don’t know me very well, hello! I am Priscilla, and I’m going to help you talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime in English. Make sure to subscribe to my channel because every week, I’m here creating new lessons to help you go from feeling stuck to speaking fluently.

Warm-Up Questions

Let's start with a simple question: How are you doing today? Try to use different words to express how you're feeling. Here are some options: good, great, fantastic, delighted, peachy, not too shabby, etc.

Feeling Different Emotions

Sometimes you may not be having the best day ever. Persisting through tough days is part of our journey, and it's important to maintain a positive attitude regardless of the circumstances.

Persistence and Encouragement

Speaking of persistence, let’s review our promise. I want you to picture yourself fluent, talking to anyone, anywhere, anytime. Repeat this promise: “I will persist on the journey. I will unlock my English fluency.”

Impact of Emotions

Your emotions are crucial in this journey. Imagining yourself fluent can significantly boost your confidence and make the process more enjoyable. If you felt it, commented that you saw it because this mental practice impacts your real-life prowess.

Understanding Learning Channels

We have three learning channels: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Utilize emojis to represent these channels and identify which one works best for you.

Homework and Practice

Yesterday, I gave you a homework challenge. Did you make a video talking about episode two? This practice is essential for improving your English speaking skills. Speaking is more than just about words; it’s about communicating ideas effectively.

Taking Action

Taking action is the key to fluency. Record yourself speaking and pay attention to patterns like filler words. Practice will help reduce these and improve your overall fluency.

Persistence Over Perfection

Don’t aim for perfection — aim for communication. Making videos, even if they’re imperfect, will help condition your brain that fluency is about effective communication, not about being mistake-free.

Importance of Speaking Practice

Every day, find time to speak in English. Practicing consistently will break the cycle of fear and build your confidence.

Episode Highlights

So far, we've discussed the importance of:

1. Understanding your brain codes to manage emotions.
2. Utilizing learning channels effectively.
3. The frequent practice of speaking without the fear of making mistakes.

Tomorrow’s challenge is to make a video about an important life experience. Practice incorporating what you've learned about engaging your learning channels.

Concluding Words

Remember, the journey to fluency includes good days and bad days. Your persistence combined with these strategies can make a fabulous change. Episode three will be available tomorrow, and it’s filled with more essential insights.
