03:33 | is today's Lesson content today . How to make a | |
03:38 | steady plan . We're going to start with smart goals | |
03:41 | . What is a smart goal and how do you | |
03:44 | choose that ? one second we're going to look at | |
03:47 | what to study . Many of you ask me like | |
03:49 | , I don't know what to study , what should | |
03:51 | I do . So this is how you can away | |
03:54 | that you can figure out what to study finally how | |
03:59 | often to study . So let's get started . And | |
04:03 | also if you have not , please make sure hit | |
04:05 | the like button , it helps it helps other people | |
04:09 | find the lesson . Okay , let me move my | |
04:12 | pdf out of the way and we'll get started with | |
04:15 | smart goals . If you have been watching my videos | |
04:20 | for a couple of years , you are probably familiar | |
04:24 | . You probably know this topic , but it's very | |
04:26 | important to cover . I think about this for my | |
04:29 | goal setting a lot . It's good to , it's | |
04:32 | good to refresh the mind . So smart goals . | |
04:37 | This is the first step for making your study plan | |
04:40 | . Why ? Because we need a target . We | |
04:43 | need something to achieve a problem . And I see | |
04:47 | many of you write this to me in comments . | |
04:50 | You send it to me in messages , sometimes many | |
04:54 | of you uh many many people . Right , uh | |
04:58 | just I want to become fluent in english . How | |
05:02 | do I do that ? Okay , that's a great | |
05:05 | long term goal to have . But we need to | |
05:09 | think smaller . Like think about the steps you're going | |
05:13 | to take to reach that goal . So that's what | |
05:16 | a smart goal is for helping you to set what | |
05:21 | big and small goals to achieve the bigger goal . | |
05:26 | Okay , so let's look at this . So this | |
05:29 | smart , this is called , this is an acronym | |
05:33 | , so S . M A . R . T | |
05:35 | . Each one of these refers to a different word | |
05:38 | . So the first part of a smart goal is | |
05:42 | its specific , your goal is specific for example , | |
05:47 | I want to be fluent . That's not a specific | |
05:50 | goal . You need to choose something very clear . | |
05:54 | Okay second , your goal is measurable , measurable . | |
06:00 | You can measure your goal . So that means , | |
06:05 | how many vocabulary words did you study or how long | |
06:09 | was your conversation ? How many minutes or how many | |
06:13 | sentences did you write or how many presentations did you | |
06:17 | give ? For example , Can you measure your goal | |
06:22 | ? Okay third , Achievable . Achievable , so able | |
06:28 | to achieve ? Yeah , is it possible in other | |
06:32 | words ? So for example if you say , Okay | |
06:34 | , I'm going to learn 500 vocabulary words by next | |
06:38 | week . Probably not . Like you can study a | |
06:43 | lot . Yeah , but you are probably not going | |
06:47 | to remember all those words . Your goal should be | |
06:50 | achievable , realistic , realistic . So is your goal | |
06:56 | realistic for you and your life and your needs now | |
07:00 | ? So is it something that's possible for your schedule | |
07:04 | that's important to think about if you have a busy | |
07:07 | schedule ? Is it realistic to study for three hours | |
07:10 | a day ? Maybe not ? So make your goal | |
07:14 | realistic Finally , time based , time based , what | |
07:20 | does time based mean ? That means you have a | |
07:22 | time period or a deadline for your goal ? So | |
07:26 | maybe it's a one week goal or a one month | |
07:29 | goal or a one year goal ? Maybe all of | |
07:32 | those . So your goal should be time based . | |
07:36 | So again , specific measurable achievable , realistic and time | |
07:43 | base , this is a smart goal . So your | |
07:45 | goal should be all of these things . So let's | |
07:49 | look , let's look at this very common message you | |
07:51 | send me . I want to become fluent in english | |
07:55 | . Okay . Is it specific ? Well , sort | |
07:58 | of english is the one thing you want to do | |
08:01 | , Is it measurable , fluent is not measurable ? | |
08:05 | Right ? It's like a feeling . Yeah . And | |
08:07 | we learn new words all the time . I still | |
08:10 | learn new words in english . Like it's always continuing | |
08:14 | . Is it achievable ? Well yes , but when | |
08:18 | we don't know , is it realistic in the future | |
08:22 | ? Depending on you ? Maybe is it time based | |
08:26 | ? No , I want to become fluent is not | |
08:28 | a time based goal . So this is not a | |
08:30 | helpful goal . I want to become fluent is not | |
08:33 | a helpful goal . Of course we want we want | |
08:36 | that , we want in our minds . Yes . | |
08:38 | Let's look at some examples of goals that are good | |
08:43 | uh smart goals . So for example , if you | |
08:47 | know you need to study vocabulary , You can say | |
08:51 | my goal is to learn 300 new vocabulary words by | |
08:57 | the end of March , Learn 300 new vocabulary words | |
09:02 | by the end of March . This is a smart | |
09:05 | goal . It's specific 300 words . It's measurable . | |
09:09 | I can count how many words I learnt , right | |
09:12 | . It's achievable . So it's possible to study this | |
09:17 | many words in this period . It's realistic . So | |
09:21 | I can make a schedule for myself . It's a | |
09:24 | good pace and it's time based . So my deadline | |
09:28 | is the end of March . Okay , so you | |
09:31 | can send in the chat what your smart goal is | |
09:35 | . Yeah , let's maybe you can give some ideas | |
09:38 | to the other people watching . Now . There are | |
09:39 | lots of people watching . That's super cool . So | |
09:42 | you can send your goal in the chat and maybe | |
09:45 | you can give us some other people some ideas . | |
09:47 | Yeah , okay , here's another one . If your | |
09:50 | goal is speaking , you can say my goal is | |
09:53 | to be able to speak about my work and hobbies | |
09:59 | for three minutes by the end of july . My | |
10:04 | goal is to be able to speak about my work | |
10:07 | and hobbies for three minutes by the end of july | |
10:10 | . So again , this is specific . So my | |
10:13 | work and my hobbies is the topic . It's measurable | |
10:16 | three minutes right here . I choose this time . | |
10:20 | You can make five minutes , maybe 10 . I | |
10:21 | don't know . That's a long time to talk about | |
10:23 | yourself . It's achievable . So that means it's possible | |
10:28 | to do this in this case it's realistic . So | |
10:33 | this goal is not a crazy goal and it's time | |
10:37 | based . So my deadline is the end of july | |
10:41 | . Okay , mm Lupe says , tell us some | |
10:45 | of your smart goals . Do my smart goal . | |
10:48 | I have an exercise smart goal . That's true . | |
10:50 | So I wanted to , let's see . My goal | |
10:54 | was to uh , improve my some of my personal | |
10:59 | best times for this year . So I wanted to | |
11:02 | improve my times by , I think the day is | |
11:05 | february 17 . I forget , I forget exactly the | |
11:09 | day it's on my calendar . So I have personal | |
11:12 | uh , exercise times , like running times I want | |
11:16 | to improve by next month . So that's my , | |
11:19 | that's an example of my smart goal . Okay , | |
11:24 | uh , let's see . I'm looking for your examples | |
11:29 | . Evelyn on Facebook says , so learn 500 more | |
11:32 | words by the end of March . Great . Great | |
11:35 | . Great . Okay , nice examples . Um , | |
11:39 | brian says , what is the difference between achievable and | |
11:42 | realistic ? Good question . These are , there can | |
11:45 | be some overlap , some parts that are similar . | |
11:48 | So achievable means it's possible to do something . Like | |
11:52 | if you say Like I'm going to learn 500 new | |
11:55 | vocabulary words by next week . It's like , that's | |
11:58 | really probably not achievable and it's also not realistic , | |
12:02 | but this comes into play , which means this is | |
12:05 | like , this is important when uh , your schedule | |
12:09 | is super busy . That's what I think about with | |
12:12 | realistic , like maybe the goal is achievable for someone | |
12:16 | with a lot of time . Like if you say | |
12:19 | I want to learn 100 vocabulary words by next week | |
12:23 | , maybe for some people that's achievable . But is | |
12:27 | it realistic ? Like can you spend , I don't | |
12:29 | know , 10-15 minutes every single day or 30 minutes | |
12:33 | every day really studying . So for me , realistic | |
12:37 | is about your personal schedule a little . Is it | |
12:40 | realistic for your time ? The time you have ? | |
12:44 | Okay . Um All right , let's continue to the | |
12:47 | last goal . One more for writing . If you | |
12:50 | are looking for a writing goal , write a short | |
12:53 | essay by the end of next month , write a | |
12:56 | short essay by the end of next month . So | |
12:59 | you're choosing something specific always . So not these big | |
13:04 | vague goals . Okay . Uh , so elders is | |
13:08 | my smart goal is to learn the Arabic language . | |
13:11 | So again , in your goal , so that's a | |
13:14 | big goal . Make it more specific . So how | |
13:17 | are you going to measure your goal ? Is it | |
13:19 | learning the alphabet of the language ? Like what's the | |
13:22 | deadline for your goal ? So again , it's really | |
13:25 | hard to start . If your goal is huge , | |
13:29 | you need to give yourself a step . What's the | |
13:32 | next step for your goal ? Yeah . Okay . | |
13:35 | All right . Um , let's take a break a | |
13:40 | lot . Okay , so let's take a short break | |
13:42 | and then we'll talk about how to decide what to | |
13:45 | study . Yeah . Okay . So if you missed | |

15:04 | you can find , So that's from yeah , below | |
15:08 | the video or above the video . Check one of | |
15:10 | those . Okay , Part two . Let's go to | |
15:13 | part two . What to study ? How do you | |
15:16 | decide what to study ? Okay , so basically in | |
15:21 | other words , how do I know my level ? | |
15:23 | So don't think about for this step , don't think | |
15:27 | about my level , my level , beginner , beginner | |
15:30 | , beginner , intermediate , whatever . Again , let's | |
15:33 | think about it in a slightly different way . What | |
15:38 | to study , What do I study ? How do | |
15:41 | I know ? So ask yourself some questions . Can | |
15:46 | I Something , something something and give yourself three answers | |
15:52 | . Yes , a little and it's hard or no | |
15:57 | , for example , can I introduce myself ? Can | |
16:02 | I introduce myself in english or the language you're studying | |
16:06 | ? Okay . Can I talk about my hobbies ? | |
16:10 | Yes , a little . No . Can I write | |
16:14 | an email ? Can I order food on the phone | |
16:19 | ? So These are just four examples . There are | |
16:23 | so many can I questions you can ask yourself about | |
16:27 | your daily life and your work and your school , | |
16:31 | your professional life . There are so many questions from | |
16:37 | like very basic topics , very basic things to do | |
16:41 | to advance things to do . So ask yourself these | |
16:45 | if you're like , I don't know what kinds of | |
16:47 | questions to ask myself . Here's a tip , google | |
16:51 | , google can do lists in english . I can | |
16:56 | do list is a list of questions like these . | |
17:00 | So you can check the list and say yes or | |
17:03 | a little or no . So ask yourself these questions | |
17:09 | or google a list of questions . Okay then look | |
17:13 | at your answers if your answer is yes . Great | |
17:17 | For example , can I introduce myself ? Yes , | |
17:20 | I can . Great . Okay , spend your time | |
17:24 | studying something new . This is one problem many learners | |
17:28 | fall into , they study the same thing over and | |
17:31 | over and over and over again . Hello , My | |
17:34 | name is like hi , it's nice to meet you | |
17:36 | . They practice the same things over and over . | |
17:40 | You have to move to the next step . So | |
17:44 | if your answer is yes , can I talk about | |
17:47 | my hobbies ? Yes . Okay , great . Move | |
17:49 | on . Move to the next thing . Okay , | |
17:52 | so this one a little . It's hard if your | |
17:57 | answer is this good , that means it's your next | |
18:01 | step . The next thing to look at . For | |
18:03 | example , can I write an email ? You might | |
18:06 | think a little . I think I can but it's | |
18:10 | difficult . It's kind of hard for me . So | |
18:13 | why is it hard ? Is it vocabulary ? Is | |
18:18 | it grammar ? Is it listening ? Is it writing | |
18:21 | ? So what's the thing that's difficult for you ? | |
18:25 | This is a question you know , for yourself you | |
18:28 | might think , oh everything . So if you think | |
18:31 | everything , try just choose one to start with , | |
18:34 | for example , can I write an email ? Oh | |
18:38 | , a little it's kind of hard why ? Maybe | |
18:41 | its vocabulary , maybe it's grammar , maybe you don't | |
18:46 | know the format , like how to write an email | |
18:50 | , the different parts , you can google all of | |
18:53 | these things and we have lessons of course on our | |
18:56 | website too . So look for this answer for your | |
19:01 | questions to yourself . It's okay sort of but it's | |
19:05 | a little hard for me . You want to study | |
19:08 | the things that are challenging for you , You have | |
19:11 | to challenge yourself with new things to move forward . | |
19:16 | You can't make progress if you study the same things | |
19:20 | again and again and again . Okay finally , if | |
19:24 | your answer to the question is no , can I | |
19:27 | order food on the phone or can I give a | |
19:31 | business presentation if you say no , that's okay , | |
19:34 | just keep it for the future . So don't worry | |
19:37 | about that like right now you can think in the | |
19:40 | future , that's a goal for me . But right | |
19:44 | now , No , so this is something like for | |
19:48 | example a business presentation , maybe you think I can't | |
19:53 | do it at all ? No , it's not possible | |
19:56 | . That's okay . Just keep it in your mind | |
19:58 | for the future and work on the next step for | |
20:03 | you . So I know this is a process like | |
20:07 | and you have to do this again and again , | |
20:10 | like maybe once a month or once every three months | |
20:13 | , you have to always check your level but it's | |
20:17 | so helpful to understand the next thing you need to | |
20:21 | do . So again , if you don't know like | |
20:24 | how to make these questions for yourself , try this | |
20:28 | . So just use google to find can do lists | |
20:33 | or like english language can do list and try to | |
20:37 | answer those questions for yourself and you can find maybe | |
20:42 | the topics or the parts that are challenging for you | |
20:46 | . Okay cool . Okay so again another tip down | |
20:52 | here , a tip down here is when you decide | |
20:57 | your next step like you decide I need to study | |
21:01 | vocabulary or grammar or listening , you can use google | |
21:06 | to look for resources . So like a vocabulary list | |
21:10 | resources just google like like email vocabulary or email english | |
21:15 | vocabulary or like uh I don't know um like boating | |
21:19 | vocabulary whatever so use google to find the things you | |
21:25 | need , you don't have to find like the perfect | |
21:29 | textbook . Right ? Use google , you can find | |
21:32 | so much there for free . So you can go | |
21:36 | you can google for short essays to read and news | |
21:42 | . Uh like you can find uh news in english | |
21:46 | for learners for learners again , google like english news | |
21:50 | for learners , something like that . You can also | |
21:54 | google audio to listen to . Like podcasts or radio | |

23:03 | it . Okay . All right , Let's take a | |
23:07 | break . So that was part two . How to | |
23:11 | decide what to study , how to find the part | |
23:15 | . Oh actually , great question Miguel uh Sepulveda on | |
23:19 | facebook says when do you start with your no list | |
23:21 | items ? Great question this part . These things when | |
23:25 | do you start with these things when they become these | |
23:30 | ? So that means when you study and you like | |
23:34 | for example you study your challenging thing . This thing | |
23:37 | That's hard . That's a little bit difficult . You're | |
23:39 | going to learn extra grammar and extra vocabulary , right | |
23:43 | ? You're not going to use just old stuff . | |
23:46 | Always you're going to pick up new things and gradually | |
23:51 | you'll move forward someday . This No , I can't | |
23:55 | do it at all becomes your It's a little hard | |
23:59 | . So that's the answer . Okay , you that | |
24:04 | was a lot . Okay , let's again take a | |
24:06 | break . I said I was going to take a | |
24:08 | break and then we'll go to the last part . | |

25:17 | . Yeah that would be super cool . Okay let's | |
25:23 | see case side . I hope I said your name | |
25:26 | right on facebook said I can read an easy book | |
25:29 | and google when I find words difficult . Yes that's | |
25:32 | what I do when I read actually reading is my | |
25:36 | favorite way to pick up vocabulary . So actually I'll | |
25:40 | tell you one of my study strategy . So I | |
25:42 | have been studying japanese for many years . I use | |
25:46 | books . Books are my favorite way to study vocabulary | |
25:50 | usually . So I when I read a book I | |
25:53 | mark highlight in the book the word the first time | |
25:56 | I read it like I don't know this word and | |
25:59 | then I check it later . Like after I finished | |
26:02 | reading I look up the word like review it and | |
26:07 | then I read the page again later . So that's | |
26:09 | one of my study strategies . Okay all right so | |
26:14 | let's go to part three , part three . How | |
26:19 | often how often do you study ? The short answer | |
26:22 | is a little bit every day , a little bit | |
26:25 | every day . So 10 minutes of vocabulary study for | |
26:29 | example or one minute or 11 video lesson or maybe | |
26:34 | you read one news article in English or you write | |
26:38 | a page in a journal . The best thing you | |
26:41 | can do is spend a little time every day a | |
26:46 | tip studying a little bit a few times a week | |
26:51 | or every day is better than studying for hours once | |
26:56 | a week . There have been recent , there's research | |
26:58 | and studies about learning about studying uh not just language | |
27:04 | but learning in general learning other things . So it's | |
27:07 | better to study regularly , Like maybe 3-5 times a | |
27:12 | week is also great . So make a little time | |
27:16 | every day . That's better than like going crazy . | |
27:20 | Like studying three hours or five hours every saturday . | |
27:24 | You give your brain time to remember every day and | |
27:29 | refresh every day , that's better to do . So | |
27:32 | make some time for yourself Every day . So in | |
27:36 | my case like earlier today I said like I have | |
27:39 | exercise goals for next month , so I spent 10 | |
27:42 | minutes every day like doing some physical activity to reach | |
27:48 | my goal . So and I notice the small improvements | |
27:53 | every day maybe like every week in my case , | |
27:57 | but those small everyday activities really add up over time | |
28:04 | . Okay . Uh Yeah Mina says any strategies for | |
28:08 | reading ? Yeah I shared one the one strategy I | |
28:11 | have for reading , I use reading for vocabulary to | |
28:14 | pick up vocabulary , but I also use reading um | |
28:18 | to work on my grammar . So sometimes I notice | |
28:21 | a grammar pattern or that's a little confusing to me | |
28:24 | . So again I google it , I just I | |
28:27 | google like the base grammar pattern and look at other | |
28:31 | examples uh and yeah look at dictionaries , whatever online | |
28:36 | to help me understand that grammar pattern . Okay um | |
28:43 | Other questions . Okay I don't see it . So | |
28:46 | a couple more ideas if it's hard for you to | |
28:50 | start your studies . This is something I've been doing | |
28:54 | Because it's hard to stay motivated this year this time | |
28:57 | , right ? So set a timer for like in | |
29:01 | my case , like five or 10 minutes , uh | |
29:04 | and steady for that time period . So you say | |
29:07 | , Okay , I'm going to read for 20 minutes | |
29:10 | and you set a timer and do it for 20 | |
29:12 | minutes . That for me it's really , really helpful | |
29:16 | because when you think about studying , you're like , | |
29:19 | I don't want to do it . It's not fun | |
29:22 | . It takes so long . But when you realize | |
29:25 | you're like , oh , it's only 10 minutes , | |
29:28 | then it's easy , at least for me . That's | |
29:30 | really helpful for me . So I do this . | |
29:32 | I set a timer for the period I'm going to | |
29:35 | study . You can also build a habit in your | |
29:39 | daily routine , build a habit . that means make | |
29:43 | a new habit in your daily routine . For example | |
29:47 | , when I go to work , I listen to | |
29:50 | a lesson , so in the car or on the | |
29:52 | train uh something when you're walking , maybe you can | |
29:57 | listen to a lesson or in my case I studied | |
30:01 | vocabulary on an app on my phone when I went | |
30:05 | to work and when I came home from work , | |
30:07 | so 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes in | |
30:10 | the evening , that was 30 minutes every day for | |
30:13 | me on my workdays , which was super super good | |
30:16 | for my vocabulary studies a couple years ago , so | |
30:20 | try to make a habit inside your daily routine . | |
30:25 | That's a good one to do . All right . | |
30:28 | Um Some people are asking about like the one on | |
30:31 | one app , you can check that out . The | |
30:33 | one on one app is free on the app store | |
30:36 | uh and then you can add some other things on | |
30:39 | later , so I'm not going to spend the livestream | |
30:43 | . I'm already late talking about the app , so | |
30:45 | you can check it out for free and see what | |
30:47 | you think . Um Alicia , how long have you | |
30:50 | been studying , Japanese ? Uh For 13 ? I | |
31:00 | don't know , like uh sometimes I'm very active in | |
31:04 | my studies and lately . Not so active , I | |
31:07 | think . Yeah , it's been a long time . | |
