882 : Your Brain ALREADY Knows English — Here's Why It Won't Come Out

You are intelligent. You understand what I'm saying right now. You can understand when many people speak English the problem is It won't come out when you want it to There are many reasons why and today I'm going to give you those reasons and how you can finally change this situation. Are you ready? Well then let's jump right in here is reason number one

One reason number one is you've studied English, but your mouth hasn't practiced it. You see your brain stores knowledge in one place, and physical skills in another. There are two separate locations, one for knowledge and one for practical or physical skills.

Reading grammar rules and memorizing vocabulary builds your knowledge, but speaking is physical skill, like playing the piano. You can know every note on the page and still be unable to play the song. You see speaking fluency only develops when your mouth actually practices, not when your eyes study. So currently this is what you're doing. This is your current

current situation. You are reviewing grammar notes. You're intelligent. You've learned a lot. So you have your notebooks just like me behind me, right? You're reviewing your grammar notes or your vocabulary list, but you're doing it silently. At home, reading through them, making sure you understand them and you do. And then you're wondering, though,

why speaking is still hard. It's because you're literally locked in your focused, You're looking at the rules, but you're not using them. Okay, teacher Tiffany, that makes sense. What can I do?

How can I change this? Here is the new method I want you to use. I want you now to take any sentence you just read or thought and say it out loud.

Pay attention. So I want you to imagine that same notebook you have. You have an amazing notebook and your notebook is full of sentences, full of grammar rules, full of things you learn each and every day.

And I want you to think of one of the sentences that you have written in your notebook. You've read that sentence many times. Your eyes have seen that sentence many times. You know that sentence in your brain.

But now what do you need to do? You need to say it out loud. This is step number one. Step number two, then say it again in a slightly different way.

Number one now. Say it. Out. Loud.

Let your mouth get practice. But you're not going to stop there. Step two. Say it again in a different way.

Say it in a different way. Your mouth just needs practice. Just like an athlete, you have to do something over and over again. Let your mouth practice.

After you say it the second time, then do it again. You see, your mouth is practicing not just your eyes, so once again, say it again.

Your mouth needs practice. Your mouth needs an opportunity to say what you can. are learning. So the old way is just reviewing the grammar with your eyes, reviewing the vocabulary, with your eyes, storing the information here, a new way is to say it out loud three times.

Reason number two. Reason number two is, you recognize words easily, but can't produce them when you need them. Again, you are intelligent, you are smart, you are amazing, you know so much, but when you want to produce the words you've learned, they just won't come out. You see, recognizing a word and producing a word, you use completely different brain

pathway that want us to dive into this. Recognizing versus producing. So in your brain, I want you to imagine your brain has two different sides. Two different areas. One area is for recognizing.

Now you can recognize the word. You know exactly what the word is. You are recognizing the information. So let's say, recognize.

The challenge is when you go to speak you need to produce the information. Well, to produce the information you need to access a different part of your brain. So we have the recognized part and the produce section. Two different sections, recognizing and producing.

Right now you are recognizing what I'm saying. You are comprehending, but we need to access this side to help you produce. You see years of reading and listening built your recognition pathway. So you understand words easily when you see or hear them.

But the production pathway, the one you need when you're speaking, is much weaker because you rarely use it. Knowing a word exists is not the same, listen to me. It's not the same as being able to retrieve it,

produce it on demand. So let me tell you what's happening right now for you. Currently, let's say you're learning the word exhausted by reading it and knowing what it means when you see it.

You know this word exhausted you understand even if I were to use the term right now. Oh, I feel exhausted You would recognize the term Exhausted You understand you comprehend this term, but now we need to change the way you are studying because you've learned the word

But we need you to actually produce the word. Here's the new method. Your new study method. I want you to practice out loud, saying, I'm exhausted. I'm drained. I'm worn out. I'm burnt out. You're building the retrieval path for each word by actually traveling. Letting your brain travel from one part to the next and actually

using it. So again, I want you to say out loud, I'm exhausted. Now, instead of just knowing the word, you are producing it by saying it, you're retrieving it. Now, I want you again to say out loud, I'm exhausted. Now it's not just staying in your brain. It's actually coming out of your mouth. Use what you learn. Here is reason number three. Reason number three is nothing has become automatic yet.

So everything costs energy. Nothing is automatic. Nothing feels like your native language just yet. So it costs energy. You see fluency only happens when the basic mechanics of speaking. Common grammar patterns, frequent phrases, standard pronunciation, require no conscious thought. I'm not thinking hard right now.

Things are just coming out naturally because English is automatic for me, just like your first language is automatic for you. You see, when nothing is automatic, every single element demands deliberate attention.
