Have you ever wondered why there are words you can't actually remember?
Then there are other words you seem to forget straight away.
Maybe I have the answer.
Right here as you can see we have four little caps.
Underneath these caps there are four triggers that trigger your memory
and if you use those triggers you're able to remember anything you want.
So the first trigger is sounds.
Here my friend listening is very important.
The more you listen to a word or a set of words the more they stick into your brain.
But to activate our brain my friend listening to some random words or phrases is not enough.
In fact you need to listen to your own voice saying the words you want to remember.
For example if you want to remember the name of a person you've just met
the easiest way is to repeat the person's name at least three times during a first conversation.
Hello my name is Rob.
Oh hello Rob nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you too.
It's Rob right?
Yes just like Robert but shorter.
Got it Rob.
I like this name.
Now you can apply this to anything.
For example look at this phrase.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Looking forward means to look in the future to a particular moment where you are happy to do something.
So basically when you're saying I'm looking forward you mean you are happy for some future event.
This is a very long phrase but if you start using the same words
I am looking forward to and then whatever you can't wait to do
then you're gonna make sure to actually remember it.
I'm looking forward to Christmas.
I'm looking forward to our next vacation.
I'm looking forward to the holidays.
Now sounds have their limits though.
For example with music don't rely on music to remember lyrics.
I know this sounds strange so let me give you an example of it.
Here is this beautiful song from Pop Mage called Bad Liar.
I'm sure if you listen to this long enough you're able to actually remember the words
but can you really understand what it means?
Can you really use it in other situations?
Now breathe is this.
And when you say I can't breathe you are saying that you are not able to breathe right?
So it's quite serious.
Just listening to this song and to the way this singer sings this word
well it's simply not enough for your brain to understand the real meaning of this word.
So this is why I'm saying that yes songs are good but they're not the best for memory.
Now back to our caps because it's time to show you the second trigger.
Images my friend are able to do what sounds can't.
When you connect an image to the proper word there it stays in your memory and it doesn't go away.
But let me show you this with an example.
She was chopping and trimming the turkey.
Let me show you how you can remember these words and also use them in other phrases.
Back to Google let's find out what chopping is.
The first thing you see if you put the word chopping is a dictionary
and just right underneath the definition.
As I showed you in a previous video if you go over the images
this is where you can see the word chopping in action.
And wow looking at the images is way more than enough to understand what the action is.
Chop chop chop chop chop.
And here you go that this is the image chopping.
Let's see what trimming is.
You can see that this man is cutting again away some bush.
This too is cutting away some bush.
And this girl is cutting some hair.
But as you can see by these images she is only cutting the tips of it.
She's only cutting what's probably dry and damaged.
This man here is cutting away the beard but not all of it just some parts of it.
The image of trimming the action of trimming is
taking away what's not necessary to make it neat or smaller.
Now the phrase goes she was chopping and trimming the turkey.
So the next word is turkey.
And as you can see a turkey is an animal and we are cooking this turkey.
Trimming the turkey means taking away every little bit that is not necessary for cooking.
This way is way easier to remember new words and also use them in other phrases.
I want to chop some parsley.
I need to trim my beard.
But I don't need to trim my hair.
All of this is just thanks to the images we just implanted in our minds now.
But we're not done yet.
Because if you connect everything with emotions this is when things really get interesting.
And you're able to remember way more than with any other trigger.
Emotions my friend are vital to connect simple words with their deeper meaning.
I'd literally lose myself and I was a really good dancer.
I would put all my emotional expression into my dancing.
I could be in the movement in a way that I wasn't able to be in my real life.
Take for example the word can.
You're talking about your abilities.
You're talking about things you can do and things you can't do.
If you connect this word with the emotions it evokes
you're able to communicate better and express exactly what you're feeling.
Back to our song's phrase I can't breathe.
This is to breathe.
If I say oh my god I can't breathe.
I can't breathe.
Okay I'm not an actor my friend.
But I really hope I created a really strong connection between the word breathe
and its deeper meaning.
Now of course you can't use emotions to learn every word in the vocabulary.
At the same time if you're using a little bit of every trigger
you're able to really really remember words.
But as you can see we left still one cap untouched.
And underneath this cap there's the biggest trick of them all.
The one trick that allowed me to remember every word without studying anything.
I'm talking about repetition.
If you repeat an action for at least 10 000 times
you are sure to have become an expert in that particular field.
This is what Malcolm Gladwell which is this guy right here in his book Outliers says.
Michael Gladwell talks about his lifelong research
interviewing hundreds and hundreds of successful people
and asking them how they have become so successful.
The common denominator among all of them was repetition.
Particularly they repeated the same skill the same activity
for at least 10 000 hours before becoming really really good at it.
So my friend if you want to make sure to remember new words
you need to use the proper triggers.
Mixing them just like they were some spices.
When you hear a new word make sure to repeat it yourself.
To have a clear image in your mind.
To possibly connect it to a real emotion.
And finally to repeat it enough time to make it stick into your brain.
The best way to start is by watching sitcoms one episode per day.
A sitcom in fact has all the ingredients and the triggers to actually remember vocabulary.
But I made a video right on this topic and I'll leave you the link right here
so you can watch it straight away.
This video gives you a complete road map to basically learn English with movies.
And by the end of the road map you won't even need subtitles anymore.
So if you're up for the challenge go watch it straight away.
Cheers!
