  • Hello Go Natural English learners! How are you? I'm your teacher

  • Gabby and this is Go Natural English. In

  • this free lesson we're going to learn a strategy that I've

  • created to help you remember big, long, complex

  • academic, English vocabulary words in

  • English, your second language. So I hope that this is helpful.

  • This is a sneak preview of what you'll find inside

  • our Premium Course, the Fluency Mastery Pack,

  • which you can learn more about at GoNaturalEnglish.com

  • Let's take a look at the strategy I call

  • "cru" because the first letters of each word

  • sound like "cru," which is not a word in English, but it's

  • a great mnemonic for helping us remember the strategy

  • for remembering words. We have an example

  • here, "circumstance." Let's pretend that this is a new

  • word. It's an academic word. It's kind of long.

  • I would say it's an advanced word in English.

  • Circumstance. We're going to pretend we don't know it. Even if you

  • do, just keep watching because we're talking about a strategy so

  • even if you know this word already you'll benefit from learning more about the strategy.

  • First of all, we're going to connect "circumstance."

  • What can I connect this with in my

  • mind? First, I'm going to actually learn

  • the definition, so a synonym of "circumstance" is

  • a situation. That's what it means. The situation

  • that you're facing. Circumstance. Let's

  • connect it with something that we already know to help us remember.

  • I see in the word we have

  • C-I-R-C. It kind of looks like

  • the word "circle," doesn't it? I might

  • in my mind visualize a circle.

  • Inside that circle is a situation.

  • It's a circumstance.

  • Situation. Now I'm also going to

  • connect what I see here, "stance."

  • It kind of looks like "to stand," right?

  • So I'm going to imagine myself standing

  • inside the circle, or in a situation

  • because we experience a situation when we're in it.

  • Circumstance. I see myself inside a

  • circle. What else could I connect this with?

  • Maybe you have other ideas? You could connect a new word

  • with a sound. Circumstance.

  • We hear a lot of "s." What could you connect that

  • with? What does it sound like to you. You can make that connection

  • for yourself in your mind. We could connect it with another visualization

  • maybe you have another thought besides a circle

  • and a person inside. What do you

  • hear and what do you see when you imagine this word?

  • Connect it. Also we can connect a new word to

  • an idea. How can I connect "circumstance?"

  • I could remember a circumstance or a situation that I

  • was recently in. Well, recently I was in an unpleasant

  • circumstance where my travel was delayed and I

  • was feeling very tired, so I'm just going to remember that

  • circumstance and repeat the word "circumstance" while I think

  • of that circumstance or that situation that I went through.

  • We can also connect it with

  • people. Ask yourself what you could connect it

  • with. Who you could connect it with. And think of sounds

  • and pictures you can see in your mind. You could even connect a word with colors,

  • numbers. The possibilities are endless. Repeat.

  • I think this is obvious. You want to repeat the word

  • to yourself. Circumstance. You could repeat after

  • a native speaker or after an audio that you hear

  • online, maybe when you look in the dictionary you can find

  • an audio of the word as well. Repeat it to yourself. You could

  • record yourself repeating the word. You want to repeat

  • the word as soon as you learn it. Try to repeat it

  • as soon as you learn it and also the next day and the next

  • day. We want to remember by using

  • the word frequently. So that brings us to use. You have to use

  • the word in a sentence.

  • As I mentioned before, I had an unpleasant circumstance when

  • my travel plans were delayed. So put the word or use the word

  • in a real sentence that makes sense to you

  • for your life, something that you might actually talk about.

  • Use the word on a daily basis.

  • When you'e learning a new word you must repeat it several

  • times. Nobody can remember a word, well OK, if you're really, really

  • really good you might be able to remember a word after using it once but

  • most people have to repeat a word twenty times,

  • a hundred times in order to remember it. Also when you use

  • the word try to connect an emotion to it.

  • So unfortunately for this word I'm going to connect a

  • negative feeling to it. My unfortunate

  • negative circumstance of delayed

  • travel plans. I'm going to feel anger and frustration

  • when I say this word and I'm going to say it with those feelings

  • when I practice repeating it. Circumstance. Ooh!

  • This is serious. It's fun but

  • this is seriously going to help you to remember the word when you

  • use this method or this strategy. If you enjoyed

  • this lesson, make sure that you keep watching Go Natural

  • English and if you want to learn more, join

  • our Premium Course Fluency Mastery.

  • I'll see you inside, I hope I'll see you inside the course! Have a

  • wonderful day. Bye for now.
