but anyway so when you're kind
but anyway so when you're kind of teaching a child like that
of teaching a child like that
of teaching a child like that most people don't realize
most people don't realize
most people don't realize they're doing this because

teaching their own children this
teaching their own children this is what they're doing they're
is what they're doing they're
is what they're doing they're kind of doing these two things
kind of doing these two things
kind of doing these two things one is explicitly teaching the
one is explicitly teaching the
one is explicitly teaching the particular word for something
particular word for something

then they're also using longer phrases that because they use
phrases that because they use
phrases that because they use them over and over again just
them over and over again just
them over and over again just become understood as one

me a book or could you bring me that book over there she
that book over there she
that book over there she understands what I'm talking
understands what I'm talking
understands what I'm talking about
about
about so there's there's kind of a
so there's there's kind of a
so there's there's kind of a bridge between these two things
bridge between these two things
bridge between these two things where you're using maybe
where you're using maybe
where you're using maybe individual words to teach these
individual words to teach these
individual words to teach these longer phrases but still year
longer phrases but still year
longer phrases but still year using the complete phrases
using the complete phrases

you're using them over and over
you're using them over and over again because the child hears
again because the child hears
again because the child hears that they understand these
that they understand these
that they understand these things so this is the kind of
things so this is the kind of
things so this is the kind of foundational difference between
foundational difference between
foundational difference between the way a non-native speaker
the way a non-native speaker
the way a non-native speaker would learn and the way a native

really want to make clear with this video in addition to other
this video in addition to other
this video in addition to other points i will make later is that
points i will make later is that
points i will make later is that if you want to get fluent you
if you want to get fluent you
if you want to get fluent you have to understand that you have
have to understand that you have
have to understand that you have to learn the way native speakers
to learn the way native speakers
to learn the way native speakers learn in order to speak the way

it and this is one of the most
it and this is one of the most fundamental things to understand
fundamental things to understand
fundamental things to understand about learning languages it's
about learning languages it's
about learning languages it's not knowledge that you get any
not knowledge that you get any
not knowledge that you get any just put in your head and you
just put in your head and you
just put in your head and you think I ok I understand that
think I ok I understand that
think I ok I understand that grammar . logically it's almost
grammar . logically it's almost
grammar . logically it's almost like an emotional thing it's a
like an emotional thing it's a
like an emotional thing it's a thing that's a connective thing
thing that's a connective thing
thing that's a connective thing in your mind that you have to
in your mind that you have to
in your mind that you have to train yourself just like
train yourself just like
train yourself just like learning an instrument or
learning an instrument or
learning an instrument or learning to play a sport because
learning to play a sport because
learning to play a sport because if you don't do that then you
if you don't do that then you
if you don't do that then you won't actually be able to use it
won't actually be able to use it
won't actually be able to use it so i might understand if I go
so i might understand if I go
so i might understand if I go watch like that like a baseball
watch like that like a baseball
watch like that like a baseball training camp i might say I
training camp i might say I
training camp i might say I might hear from someone hey
might hear from someone hey
might hear from someone hey here's how you throw a curveball
here's how you throw a curveball
here's how you throw a curveball and he just he shows me the
and he just he shows me the
and he just he shows me the motion and I think okay
motion and I think okay
motion and I think okay logically I understand what he's
logically I understand what he's
logically I understand what he's talking about that's pretty easy
talking about that's pretty easy
talking about that's pretty easy that took me five minutes but it
that took me five minutes but it
that took me five minutes but it might take me you know two years
might take me you know two years
might take me you know two years to master the actual throwing of
to master the actual throwing of
to master the actual throwing of a curveball just because i have
a curveball just because i have
a curveball just because i have to watch somebody doing at first
to watch somebody doing at first
to watch somebody doing at first but then I have to spend all the
but then I have to spend all the
but then I have to spend all the time practicing and getting
time practicing and getting
time practicing and getting myself to the point where i can
myself to the point where i can
myself to the point where i can do it automatically or fluently
do it automatically or fluently
do it automatically or fluently so fluent just refers to being
so fluent just refers to being
so fluent just refers to being able to do something without
able to do something without

thinking about it and so it's
thinking about it and so it's the same thing with reading and
the same thing with reading and
the same thing with reading and writing so writing is really the
writing so writing is really the
writing so writing is really the first step you can read
first step you can read
first step you can read information but I say even begin
