Uh, it could be from a bad experience or good, but we say, What a ride.

If you get into a taxi, for example, and you ask, How much is it to the airport?
The taxi driver will tell you $30.
He'll tell you the price you need to pay to get to the airport.
If you're taking a train, you might ask the ticket seller.
How much is it to the airport and the ticket seller will tell you the train to the airport costs $10 for example.
That way you know how much it costs to go to where you need to be.

And the bus driver will answer and tell you Yes, Get on or no.

Where are the ticket machines?
Where are the ticket machines?
Where are the ticket machines.
In this station, a ticket machine is a machine that you go to to purchase your tickets.
You might see this in any station, whether it's a subway station or a regular train station, or sometimes even a bus station.
There will be kiosks that you can go to to enter the information and purchase your ticket by watching English movies and TV shows and enjoying the feeling when you can understand a word or a sentence.
Yeah, I do this, too.
Ah, when you enjoy something, when you find entertainment value in something like music, movies, TV and you, there's that moment when you pick up or when you understand what your favorite character said.
Or you understand that like a key point in the story.
It's a really, really good feeling.
It makes you want to continue watching.
I think so.
That's a really, really nice feeling, I think, and you can do that by enjoying media s Oh, it's a fun way to learn, and it's a fun feeling to experience.
Okay, The next way to motivate yourself is by reading English news articles, blog's and magazines to get a feel for formal and casual language so that style that we use here, like an English class one a one and this on the videos on this channel is quite casual most of the time, or at least in these videos.
It's very casual.
But the way that I speak in the Wind newspaper is written in the way of magazine is written the way a ah newscaster presents the information thes air, all different ways of communicating.
We're using the same language, yes, but they're different style.
So it's important to try to understand those differences.
Ah, and to become familiar with them.
So try to find a few different things that you can enjoy.
Ah, the next way to motivate yourself after dinner, you write about your day in a journal in English.
Okay, this is an interesting idea.
So just take a few minutes after dinner or before you go to bed to write something in English about what you did that day.
Or maybe, Ah, so you have a chance to talk about future tense are to use the future tense you can use.
You can talk about your upcoming plans or the things you're going to do the next day, so you can talk about past tense.
What you did that day may be present tense.
How you're feeling as you're writing your journal for the day and future tense to talk about your upcoming plan so journaling can be a really effective exercise for motivating you.
Okay, The next way to motivate yourself is by practicing with flashcards of useful words and phrases for 15 minutes every day on the train.
I actually do do this I use, but I use an application to study Japanese to study Kenji and 15 minutes every day adds up over the course of a week, you can learn a lot of information in a short period of time.
And if you live in the country where your target language is spoken, then you might even find the word you studied on the train.
You see it like after you leave the train.
You might see that word later on in your day, so you can immediately ah, feel like an extra sense of motivation by knowing that this thing you're studying is applicability, something you can use right away.
It's a really cool feeling.
So this is a tip.
I honestly I use this last.
Ah, I make sure to thank anyone and everyone who corrects my English.
Ah, yeah, I I think this is really important because people are really nice.
They don't want to correct you when you make a mistake.
But sometimes people do.
They're really polite about it.
And they tell you the more I tell you a more natural way or they give you a suggestion for how to improve your English, make sure you say thank you, like repeat after them and then say thank you, Um, so that you know, it's motivation for them to tell you again in the future to help you again in the future.
So make sure to say thank you to anyone who helps you with your English.
Personally, I think that or I would just use I think that personally makes it sound a little bit more polite.
I think you can use this to introduce an opinion.
For example, Personally, I think that pizza is amazing.
Personally, I think that dinosaurs would have been delicious.
Personally, I think that cars should be made to enjoy with friends.
Oh, damn that.
Personally, I think that you shouldn't worry about it Yes, that's probably much more useful.
Sentence than dinosaurs would be delicious.
The next expression is what does Baba blah mean?
So where here is the word you don't know.
So, for example, what does pasta?
I mean, what does stegosaurus mean?
So a word like stegosaurus is a really strange word that you probably don't know.
Stegosaurus is a type of dinosaur.
We're on a very dinosaurs.
I don't know Jurassic.
We're in a Jurassic adventure in the moment.
So this is a pattern you use when you don't know when you don't know the meaning of the word, and you would like someone to explain it to you.
So if you say, what does stegosaurus mean, then someone can say, Oh, it's a dinosaur.
It's kind of like it's a sort of short guy and it has a bunch of spikes on its back, and it has a long tail, and it gets into a fight with a Tyrannosaurus rex.
If he saw the movie Fantasia by Disney.
Okay, so in this sentence, what does complication mean?
Means problem.
Okay, The next pattern you can use is can you tell me more about blah, blah, blah.
So I'm a topic that you would like more information about, You can say.
Can you tell me more about the soccer game last week?
Can you tell me more about the plan for the party next week?
So something you would like more information about, you can say.
Can you tell me more about this thing?
Okay, so, in a sentence, can you tell me more about your sandwich options?
That is a useful centers.
That is a useful sentence.
Okay, in this sentence here, we don't have that back home.
Can you tell me more about it?
This is used the reverse pattern.
Okay.
Ah, the next expression is if it were up to me if it were up to me, I had to teach this in a class couple weeks ago.
Actually, if it were up to me means if I could make the decision if this was ma, if this were my decision ah, blah, blah, blah.
So meaning if I could make the choice, This is what I would do.
But one point here is the nuances.
It is not my decision.
This is not my decision.
But if it were my decision, I would do blah blah, blah.
So, for example, if it were up to me every day would be Saturday who move.
But it's not right.
So, um, that's that's always the underlying That's always thedc of basic nuance of this phrase.
Some This decision is not mine.
Okay, here the example is, if it were up to me, I would take my Boston dinner.
Oh, my things just got scandalous.
The next pattern is I feel like blah, blah, blah you can use.
I feel like when you introduce a suggestion or something that you would like to do, especially for food, drinks or activities.
So, for example, I feel like coffee.
I feel like Italian food.
I feel like an action movie.
There's some activity or something you would like to do at the end of this pattern.
I feel like bowling this afternoon.
Something needs to go hear some sort of activity.
Of course, you can use this expression to talk about your feelings.
I feel like something but this something must be a noun.
It must be a noun, like if you feel really great, I feel like a 1,000,000 bucks.
For example, if you feel really bad, I feel like garbage.
That's a nice expression that somehow just came out of my head.
Anyway, um, you can use this in two ways, but this must be completed with a noun phrase at the end of the sentence.
