hi hello everyone
okay should I wait for people to come or should I not?
anyway you guys can watch it like
rerun of it anyway so I'm just going to
start talking okay so today is Friday
it's also my day off because it's the
national holiday and I figured that
since I haven't posted a new video for a
while now and also I haven't really put
up like anything new on facebook page or
on youtube I should probably talk to you
I want to talk to you in English because
I haven't done that for a long time so
the video would take too long to edit
and everything so my life on Facebook
page seems like the best option right
now so yeah that's why I am here
hello everyone if you're here please say hi
I can see that six people are watching
right now if you're watching please
comment down below that you're watching
and maybe tell me where you are at like
which province you're from okay so what
I want to talk about today is kind of
an update for you guys of what I've been
doing and the reason why I haven't been
uploading that many videos anymore if
you started following me like a month
ago during the school holiday you'd see
that I posted a new video every other day
which means วันเว้นวันจะโพสวิดิโอ
but then towards the end
of the school break I I got too busy and
so I didn't really have time to focus on
editing and those kind of things so yeah
I just want to tell you guys about what
I've been working on so as for
Dekthaiklaibaan or you know my English page and YouTube
I really want to work on my own online course
that's one thing and then
I'm also working on a book that I want it
to come out this year
I'm taking a writing course with one of
the legendary writers in Thailand and
he's going to help me to publish my book
and it's going to be about how you can
improve your English by watching youtube video
and I'm not just talking about
youtubers as in like teachers who are on
YouTube I'm talking about like generally
like how can you use YouTube as a tool
as a platform for you to improve your
language acquisition or your learning abilities
you know that kind of thing
and I just want to give you tips and tricks
on how I learned through YouTube
and I'm one of those people who believe
that the best way to learn a language is
to immerse yourself in it that is if you
watch a lot of videos if you read a lot
if you talk to foreigners and things
like that you just have to like create
an environment for yourself to learn, right
and if you can do that I surely
I strongly believe that your language will
improve dramatically so that's what
I want to work on like to transfer that
belief into a set of knowledge that
could be ...that's like a how-to for you to follow
and to just like like a how-to
guide for you to use YouTube as a
learning tool okay um yeah so it's quite
a challenge because apart from the
online course and the book that I'm
working on I also... I'm also a full-time
teacher the next semester will start next week
yeah so from next week I will have to
work during the day as a full-time teacher
teaching like 20 classes per week
almost to 200 students and then at night
I'll be working on these these
these types of things like Facebook, YouTube, my book,
my online courses so as you can see
like I'm basically teaching 24/7
I'm doing some kind of knowledge
management and like courses and stuff
all the time so it's going to be very
difficult and I just want to tell you
guys that these would be the reasons why
I would not be able to post YouTube
videos as often as possible
or as often as I used to because
as I told you guys yesterday on one of my statuses
that I posted on my page that
time management is the key to your adult life
byou really really need to learn about that
and the key to time management
is to prioritize which means
you pick what you want to do
and you focus on the most important thing to do
at the time so right now
youtube videos are not my priorities
like my youtube channel is one of my
work about it's not my priority right
now so I would like to put my time and
effort into making into creating a book
that would be useful for you guys
it should be done in about one or two
months and I'm not sure when it will
come out because I don't know the
process of publishing a book but I want
the first draft to be done by the end
of next month yeah so that that's my aim for now
and I really need to focus on that
if I want that to happen okay
let's see if if you have any questions
I'm sorry if you can't understand me
right now because this is my intention
that I just want to post video or like
live on Facebook with just speaking
English because a lot of you guys
actually understand more than you think
and you just keep telling yourself that
you don't understand English
and you're not good at English but it's not true
I speak quite fast so if you can still
understand like the main idea if you get
what I'm talking about and you
understand English you don't have to
understand every single word like 100 percent
the idea is to get what the speaker
is trying to tell you hmm okay
so okay someone asks how can I create
the environment to speak English okay
well if you're not living in a country
that speak English you have to bring
yourself to that environment you have to
create it yourself well there are many
ways that you can do that what I used to
do is that I used to just imagine like
literally มโนนั่นเองนะคะ before I go to bed
I used to rerun I create a rerun of
what I watched that day or what I read
that day for example I read Harry Potter
right and there's this scene it I really
liked when Hermione ran into the
restroom following like the troll or
something like that from the first movie
and then Ron was trying to help her
and Harry was trying to like help everyone
and Ron remembered how Hermione
taught her taught him how to do the
Wingardium Leviosa spell so yeah
so I did that I created a rerun of that scene
in my head it's not exactly what
it was in the movie but it's from my own
understanding and even though
it might be like slightly wrong but
the idea is to create dialogues
that's how you practice speaking you need to put
together the vocabularies that you
learned and put it in a in the correct structure
right that's the problem for Thai people
we know so many vocabs but
we don't know how to create like how to
put them together and create a like a
cohesive sentence like something that
actually represents our expressions or
our thoughts right so if you keep doing
that just think of something you want to
say to someone right now like
a live video that's a good example of how
you can practice speaking you just talk
to you so I am just talking by myself
speaking English this is my practice
I don't really get to speak English in my
daily life at all because
teaching like a very low-level English
to my students so this is one of the
practice that I get to do this is what
I choose to do by myself right so maybe
you can create like a group among your friends
on Facebook and then talk to each other
or give a presentation about
something that you care about or talk
about your day about a movie that you
just watched and then comment or give feedback
to each other you know
that could be one thing another thing
that you can do is to go online and find
a tutor or a foreign like tutoring service
in Thailand I saw that there are
a couple that looks interesting one is
Engoo,com I think it's that one that
My Mate Nate from YouTube made a video about
you know what I mean ENGOO I think
I think and another one is GLOBISH
think it's GLO B I SH or BL ISH
something like that those two websites
are service web sites where you can
become a member or like you pay them
somehow and then they would match you
with a tutor and that means that you can
talk to a native speaker and practice
that is bringing a foreigner to your
home without you having to go anywhere
and that's good because then
you get rid of all those problems or those like
assumptions that you have about yourself
for example a lot of people don't want
to speak English because they're afraid
that other people would laugh at them
they don't want to speak up in class
where there would be like 20 other
people listening to you when you make
mistakes you know those insecurities
will be solved when you just talk to
another person one-on-one like a native speaker
and those people are people who
are trained to be a teacher like me so
I don't care if you say something wrong
that's good that means you're trying
alright so if you can't find a foreigner
in your town or are like somewhere near
you are like a real foreigner
you have to create one in your head or
you have to go to one online okay
those are the two easiest answer I could give
to you right now okay let's see if there
are other questions from you guys
if you're watching this and you have
anything like concerns that you want to
ask me please feel free to comment down
below I'll read that and then I will
answer I'll try to make this LIVE quick
like maybe 20 minutes 15 minutes hi
assalamualaikum everyone it's surprising
how many Muslim followers I have
the next question I want my kid to speak
English because I can't speak English
well okay um I don't have kids myself so
it's hard for me to give you a
suggestion because I haven't really like
tried but this is my theory
so I've heard
about one face theory I think one face
language theory or something like that
it's called from พี่หนูดี วนิษา เรซ
she talked about it on her podcast
or on her radio show or something like
that she said that you could do
something like this one person has to
only speak English to your child you
you could pick the best English speaker
in your class [family] or you can pick like
a private tutor or it can even be someone online
okay and that person can only
speak to your child with like it can
only speak English to your child so then
your child would learn that the only way
to communicate with that person is
through this language so let's say you
were born in the south and you can speak
Melayu you you can speak Thai
Your husband is from Bangkok he can speak
standard Thai and he can also speak a
little bit of English and better than you
so then maybe you talk to your child
in Melayuor like bahasa Kelantan Melayu
whatever just one language right and
then your child will learn Thai when
when he or she goes to school
so let's omit that let's not talk to
him or her in Thai and then your husband
will
only talk to that the to the baby in
English so your baby will grow up in
with two languages one for the mother and
one for the father and then when he or she
goes to school the baby will start
talking in Thai right so that's
that's one way to create like a
different path pathways for the the
language that would be used for the
children okay
and I'm sure you can find more
information in like books for you know
พ่อแม่สองภาษา you can check out
online on Se-ed.com or you know those
online bookstores there are plenty of
those books online right now
Do you think in Thai or English while you're speaking English
good question Kathy
I think in both มันแล้วแต่ it really depends
on the subject that I'm talking about
but right now English comes to me so
easily like I could just switch from
Thai to English like that but since
I don't really get to speaking English
that often in my real life right now
I've been back from the US for about
2 years now and I mainly like 90 percent
95 percent of my life in Bangkok I speak
in Thai okay so um it depends on the
topic if I talk about my students and I
also think in Thai and English but
I know that I want to communicate in
English so the words go through really quickly
when I was in the US I just
think in English any other questions for me?
it's been 16 minutes so I am going to
get back to my work and work on my book
if you guys have any other like
questions or suggestions for me about my
book on how to improve your English via
are watching YouTube videos then please
comment down below I also posted
a picture post that you can just go
there and comment tell me about your
your like
problems or your concerns or your
frustrations and so that I can try to
give you suggestions and maybe find ways
to ease your pain I know how hard it
could be for you to learn English on
your own especially for people who don't
really have like that much money to
spend on online courses or private tutors
I did that myself when I was
younger as well I'm back in the day
we still have to buy like Internet cards
from 7-eleven and like a dial-up
internet really really slow but now you
guys have Facebook and you guys have LIVE
you guys have a YouTube videos
that's so like fast high-speed Internet
and everything I really don't want you
to take that for granted you don't need
to go to someone to learn from that person
you have so many free tutors
so many free resources online that you can
use to improve your language you just
have to know how to use those resources
and sort of gears that towards
your interest and where you want to go
in life so that's my goal for this book
I really want to give you how to book
and a suggestion ah and also like
a book of inspiration for you because
I also improved my English and and studied
on my own a lot when I was younger yeah
so okay I guess I have to go now I will
see you again next time
why am I taking this motion BYE!
Thanks for watching I'll see you later
