Hi there, Vladimir here with another video about how to learn English

A while back I did this video about how to mimic the native speaker by repeating

right after instead of at the same time as the native speaker

You need to do that in order to better hear your own voice and compare it to the original

But let me tell you what's even better.

Let me share with you what I used to do when I first started learning English seriously,

It's a learning technique I call:

killing 4 birds with 1 stone

Killing 4 birds with 1 stone sounds too violent, let's change that, no more bird killing,

let's rename it simply 4 in 1

When I first started learning English in earnest with a textbook and dictionary

I used to do the following

I would

1. Read a text from a book, any book

2. Read out loud and record my voice

3. Play it back and listen to it

4. Write down everything

I would practice my reading, speaking, listening & writing in 1 go, at the same time

Read slowly, clearly and smoothly by connecting all words together

Then listen to your own voice and write everything down

Writing is extremely important writing will help you remember longer

Choose something appropriate for your level

ot too easy, not too difficult

don't familiarize yourself too much with the text

it is better to start reading right away

Read slowly, clearly and smoothly by connecting all words together

Make sure your voice has a flow

Before you focus on speaking, you need to work on your reading.

If your reading is not smooth and fluent your speaking cannot be smooth and fluent either.

It's something I talk about in my book Virtually Native, in the chapter on reading

Let me demonstrate this simple technique

First get a recorder of some sort ready

Next, find a text, something interesting though, something you are interested in

I generally advise against preparing don't prepare, don't pre-read

start reading right away

Let me find something on the TED website

the 25 most popular talks of all time

I am going to be completely honest and tell you that I've watched most of these talks

but was probably at least 5-6 ago, so I don't remember much

Let me choose 1

happy, I kinda remember this one by one Dan Gilbert from Harvard

Harvard psychologist

The surprising science of happiness.

the next thing you wanna do is click the interactive transcript

here is the transcript of Dan's presentation

It is very nicely laid out in paragraphs

Choose a paragraph and start reading

listen to my voice as I try to read smoothly by connecting the end of one word

to the beginning of the next one all in one continuous stream of sound

Speed is not important, connecting is more important

Pay attention to punctuation marks

comma with flat or rising intonation and pause, and full stop with falling intonation and a pause

Here we go, 5 minutes in, pressing the record button

We synthesize happiness, but we think happiness is a thing to be found.

Now, you don't need me to give you too many examples of people synthesizing happiness,

I suspect.

Though I'm going to show you some experimental evidence, you don't have to look very far for evidence.

I took a copy of the New York Times and tried to find some instances of people

synthesizing happiness.

Here are three guys synthesizing happiness.

"I'm better off physically, financially, mentally

"I don't have one minute's regret.

It was a glorious experience."

"I believe it turned out for the best."

the next thing you wanna do is get a pen and piece of paper and write everything down

Pen and paper, it makes a lot of difference.

basically, writing helps you remember longer

don't type on the computer

Play back the recording, listen to it carefully and write everything down

pause after each sentence and work on your spelling.

As soon as you are done, compare your writing to the original.

How is your listening?

Are you able to understand your own pronunciation?

Not being able to understand your own accent is a sure sign you need to work on your pronunciation

That's pretty much it, that's my 4 in 1 learning technique

Not as sexy as shadowing but much more effective

if you want to know how to make your learning process more effective and efficient then

stop wasting your time and read my book Virtually Native

which is available at Amazon and virtuallynative.com

Nirvana - Defining Sonic Ambivalence - Duration: 3:28.

This song is about hairy, sweaty, macho redneck men

who rape.

Seattle became a gold mine with Nirvana, formed by frontman Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic.

They played hard rock but they also injected abnormal doses

of emotion into it and had a melodic flair that the others as a time lacked.

Bleach (1989)

was both rudimentary, savage and fragile.

Nevermind (1991)

featuring new drummer Dave Grohl

increased the melodic factor and found an even more unlikely balance between pathos and disgust, tenderness and rage

melancholy and rebellion

if nevermind had been the manifesto of an age the brutal in utero

1993 was Cobain's personal oddity

Sounding like Neil Young's timid alter-ego they embodied the mood of their generation the team spirit

Their sound became the soundtrack of a generations nervous breakdown a dark and aimless feeling of impotence

Forbearance fatalism that well summarizes the naval quality of Cobain's music

He was one of the few rock musicians who succeeded in packing amazingly deep sorrow in Catchy songs the Kurtz has had so much passion

We sing feel about the music, and it seemed like anything was possible

And there was just there was a lot of innocence to like coming of age like you have almost like awareness like

Wow, it's just exciting if doubts persist about the Music's original t

Cobain's anguish was no doubt

Sincere he ranks as the first composer since Jim Morrison who succeeded in the risky. Task of expressing sorrow through Catchy tune

like a bomb and dead set on destructions curtin Co were not blatant masters of destruction or

subscribers to index punk creed

Instead they were a forefront of a movement that cleared the decks for a new sound and culture to exist in that

Is the essence of Rock and roll?

It's true spirit and the very thing which rages against the flawed music industry always yet

Which can never fully be appreciated or captured?

Until it is gone

Amazon WordPress Plugin: How to Integrate WordPress With Amazon - Duration: 5:19.

In this video, you're gonna see two of the best ways to make money with your WordPress

website by integrating it with Amazon.

When you sign up to Amazon's affiliate program, you get a unique ID you can use to generate

links, banner ads, and widgets for your site.

Each time a visitor clicks on one of these links and buys something, you get a commission

– it's that simple.

By default, you have to generate and add links to each individual product, which can get

out of hand fast.

That's where the Amazon Auto Links plugin comes in.

This straightforward tool enables you to generate sections that link to products your audience

might like, based on current Amazon rankings and the categories you choose.

You'll first need to install and activate the plugin, then find the new Amazon Auto

Links tab in your dashboard.

After that, click on Manage Units → Add Unit by Category.

By 'unit', the plugin means an advertising section that will display particular types

of items.

Choose a name for your new unit so you'll recognize it later, and remember to enter

your Amazon Associate ID as well.

The rest of the settings here are self-explanatory.

Make whatever selections you'd like, and be sure to keep the Auto Insert option on.

When you're done, you can click on Proceed.

On the next screen, you'll need to choose the category of products you want your unit

to display.

Once you've found the right entry, click on the Add Category button.

Keep in mind that you can add multiple categories to each unit if you'd like.

When you're ready, click on Create to complete the process.

Remember how we told you to keep the Auto Insert option turned on?

By default, your new unit will be placed below the content on your posts and pages.

However, you can configure its display settings by navigating to Amazon Auto Links → Manage

Auto-insert and clicking the Edit option for the unit you want to customize.

Look for the section called Where to Enable, which will let you choose where to display

your unit.

If you want more control over your display settings, you can always opt to use shortcodes

instead.

For more information on how to do that, check out the plugin's main WordPress page for

detailed instructions.

To make the most out of this integration, you'll want to have a WooCommerce store

already set up.

After all, the goal here is to either use WordPress to drive users towards Amazon or

list your products on both platforms to make more sales.

Let's walk through how to use the "WP-Lister Lite for Amazon" plugin to link your WooCommerce

store to Amazon.

As usual, you'll need to install and activate it before getting started.

Once the plugin is set up, you'll need to connect your Amazon account to your WordPress

site.

To do that, go to the Amazon tab in your WordPress backend, and look for the Settings → Account

screen.

Choose which Amazon store you signed up for (Amazon US, UK, etc.) and follow the instructions

on your screen to complete the linking process.

Now move on to the Categories tab under Settings, and enable the categories you're authorized

to sell on Amazon.

Keep in mind that some categories require Amazon to pre-approve you, so you'll want

to avoid those for now.

Once you're happy with your settings, save them and you're ready to go.

All that's left to do now is either match your WooCommerce products to existing ones

on Amazon or publish them independently if they're not already on the platform.

WordPress' versatility makes it perfect for integration with other platforms, and

Amazon is no exception.

By using a plugin or two, you'll be able to tap into the latter's massive audience

and use it to monetize your blog or manage sales on both channels directly from WordPress.

What does People Power mean to you? - Duration: 1:53.

But the idea of people power has to be a reality because it actually is about the

only way that we can run a functioning and decent world because the rich and

powerful governments aren't going to do things just just because they think it's

right we have to fight for them and we have to continue to fight them and

actually it's the concepts of democracy and people and the practice of that as a

force that that actually create civilization

People power means an enormous amount to me

I think if you look back through history everything

that's been achieved pretty much that advances ordinary people's lives that

advances democracy that advances conditions in society those things have

come about through popular protest whether it's votes for women or earlier

on votes for ordinary working men and then all kinds of things from the

liberation struggles and gay liberation, women's liberation, civil rights in the

U.S. those have come about through people taking action together and making

their totally legitimate demands in their collective interest for equality and justice and society

If we look at the Vietnam War one of the factors that

If we look at the Vietnam War one of the factors that

led to the end of that war was the people power of the soldiers who were

involved, soldiers refused to go out and patrol, soldiers refused to fight,

soldiers went to prison for refusing to go to Vietnam and they're putting

incredible pressure on the government from inside the military and which in

part led to an end to that war when the American military, the American

government realized they could not rely on their soldiers to continue the war in

Vietnam and that's what always comes to mind when you mention that the phrase

people power.
