Hi there, Vladimir here, with another video on how to learn English
The amount of time and money people waste because of bad advice or false beliefs is staggering
There are so many myths about learning a foreign language
It's what I talk about in the first chapter of my book Virtually Native
All those myths cloud your mind, waste your time and ultimately kill your motivation.
We need to dispel them in order to clear your mind, so you can focus on what really works
in terms of learning a foreign language
Let's dive right in.
Myth #1 Practice makes perfect
It's not just about quantity, it's also about quality
Study Hard vs Study Smart
It's about not wasting time doing things that are ineffective
please watch my video about Effective vs Efficient language learners
Myth #2 Too old to learn, The age myth
They say that it is very hard and even impossible to learn a foreign language past a certain age
past puberty
There is truth and untruth in this belief
I talk a lot in my book about age and the limitations of age
The gist of it is
acquiring a foreign language has 3 main aspects pronunciation accuracy fluency
In my experience age only matters for pronunciation accent
There are no limits on fluency and accuracy
I'm the proof
Myth #3 You need to have Talent for Languages
The language gene, does it exist, is it a myth?
how much is genetics and how much is hard work?
I guess we'll never know for the simple reason that it's very hard, even impossible
to draw a line between hard work and talent
The main thing is that it's not an excuse, it's like saying that
God doesn't want you to learn English
It doesn't make any sense
Myth #4 Better go abroad, the only way to be fluent in a foreign language is
to live in the country where it is spoken
No, that's not true I am a living proof of that
I learned English outside an English speaking country
and I've been living in Japan for over 12 years
and my Japanese is not even half as good as my English
In all fairness, the belief that studying in the country where the language is spoken
was kind of true until very recently, before the invention of this thing called
the Internet
In the pre-Internet era there was very limited access to foreign books, radio, TV and movies
one really benefited from living abroad
But today it makes virtually no difference where you live and especially with regard to English
Myth #5 Native speakers = the best language teachers
The myth is in the equal sign.
Many learners equate the term native speaker with the term the best language teacher
This myth is something I am quite passionate about, it is the subtitle of my book
by a non-native for the non-native
Okay, let me say just this
Knowing something and teaching something are 2 very distinct, separate areas of expertise
Teaching a language is so much more than just being a human dictionary
Please watch my video on native vs non-native language teachers
Myth #6 It's okay to make mistakes
And this is something native language teachers say all the time
No, mistakes are not okay
There is a difference between something being inevitable and okay
We are bound to make mistakes but it doesn't mean that they are okay
Myth #7 Strong motivation is essential
Strong motivation is the most important factor in language learning success.
Of course, motivation is important
We need motivation
We need motivation to exercise, to go to work, to go to school, we need motivation
to breathe and live
We need motivation for everything
The problem with strong motivation is that if you are not using the right method
you will fail to get results and you will most likely lose your motivation.
On the other hand, you might get good results even with low motivation
as long as you are using the right method
You need a bit of motivation, no doubt about that, but what you also need
is a smart way of learning
I believe that successful learning can actually increase motivation
In other words, motivation helps learning, but successful learning can also improve and strengthen motivation
do you really need motivation to learn English?
at least a little bit of English
Do people really need convincing, need a reason to learn to speak the only true global language?
Myth #8 Understanding is Everything and Memorization is Bad
This is one of the biggest myths about foreign language acquisition
Destroying it is central to my method of smart learning
It's something I talk a lot in my book Virtually Native
Save yourself time and money and read my book which is available on virtuallynative.com and Amazon

First Vlog - Sneak into Shynee Narang's life - Duration: 2:40.
Hello guys, my name is Shynee Narang
and I have finally decided to do this.
So this is about my Zindagi, my life
and I have decided to call this channel
VLogging Zindagi(life).
Yes, it's about my experiences... what I do in life,
what all I have learnt, the mistakes I made, what I fear, what I love...
I am gonna tell you all...
And I simply love stories, so I am going to share lots of stories...
all my travel experiences...
So I have lots of travel experiences.
There are a lot of things I do.
I am going to tell you everything.
The first story that I am gonna share is about my first ever travel in an aircraft.
The very first time I took a flight,
I was jumping out of joy.
I remember I was going to Chennai and I was so happy.
I web checked in to get a window seat
and did the same what most of us do.
I was looking down to find my house.
I am sure you would also have done the same.
Ya, I was trying to find my house..
my landmarks.. important landmarks.. everything..
and obviously I couldn't find them.
Nevertheless, I was very happy.
So, when the aircraft took off I realized..
o dude... all these houses, people and all have become so tiny tiny...
And such small things might not even exist...
probably for somebody who lives... up there.
So if we are that small and insignificant,
then how do we give so much importance to ourselves.
Like I do this a lot of time..
my EGO...
comes in the way of lots of things.
(Hey.. I am this.. I am that.. smart Delhi girl... and all)
So all this is our Ego which
could be very dangerous at times.
Then I realized that it's not that great a thing.
It never worked in my favor.
If it worked in your case... well & good.
But most of the times, in my case some amount of ego is healthy
but lot of it...
nah.. doesn't work..
So I have decided to work on it and reduce it.
This is my personal story.. my experience...
and now i want to know your experiences because
I am definitely very interested in your stories.
If you agree with this ego thing.. please tell me...
even if you don't, please tell that as well...
whatever you have to say... plz share asap...
& thank you so much for watching this particular Vlog.
Please SUBSCRIBE because I will doing LOT more of these.
Thank you so much.. so much.. so much.. so much..
Take Care :) :)

Benefits of yogurt - Health benefits of yogurt - Duration: 5:42.
Benefits of yogurt.
Traditional probiotic yogurt is made from dairy that's fermented into a creamy food
packed with beneficial probiotics and is a balanced source of protein, fats, carbohydrates,
vitamins and minerals.
Yogurt is considered a superfood.
When it's sourced from grass-fed cows or goats, then yogurt's nutrition is maximized,
supplying omega-3 fatty acids, whey protein, calcium, magnesium, potassium, vitamin D,
vitamin K2, enzymes and probiotics.
10 Proven Probiotic Yogurt Benefits.
1.
Yogurt Supports Healthy Digestion.
Healthy bacteria that are added to yogurt help to improve the microflora in the gut,
which is responsible for digestion and a healthy digestive tract.
These active cultures may help with certain gastrointestinal conditions, including colon
cancer, IBS, constipation, diarrhea and lactose intolerance.
Many individuals that struggle with lactose intolerance find that yogurt is a soothing
food, not one that causes digestive distress.
2.
Lowers the Risk of Colorectal Cancer.
In a large study of over 45,000 individuals published in the International Journal of
Cancer, yogurt consumption was shown to protect against colorectal cancer.
Researchers indicated "the protective effect of yogurt was evident in the entire cohort".
The reason for this is a healthier digestive tract, due to the probiotics and healthy bacteria
in yogurt.
3.
It May Protect Against Osteoporosis.
Yogurt contains some key nutrients for maintaining bone health, including calcium, protein, potassium,
phosphorus and, sometimes, vitamin D. All of these vitamins and minerals are especially
helpful for preventing osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakening of the bones.
It is common in the elderly.
Individuals with osteoporosis have low bone density and are at a higher risk of bone fractures.
However, research shows that consuming at least three servings of dairy foods, such
as yogurt, on a daily basis may help preserve bone mass and strength.
4.
Supports Weight Loss and Increases Fat Loss.
According to the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, yogurt increases fat loss.
The study showed that three- to six-ounce servings a day for 12 weeks nearly doubled
the amount of fat lost versus others in the study.
The group that consumed the probiotic yogurt and additional calcium to reach 1,100 milligrams
lost 22 percent more weight and 61 percent more body fat.
The study also found the belly region and the waist circumference were particularly
affected.
5.
Yogurt Boosts the Immune System.
In a recent study, researchers found that probiotics found in yogurt and other fermented
milk products can improve the gut mucosal immune system by increasing cytokine producing
cells in the intestine.
Researchers stated that "Supplementation of probiotic organisms in infancy could help
prevent immune-mediated diseases in childhood."
Another study on infants found that probiotics added to formulas had a significant decrease
of number days with fever, antibiotic prescriptions, clinic visits and child care absences.
For adults, yogurt's probiotics help to keep the digestive tract free of disease-causing
bacteria.
A randomized and placebo controlled study in Sweden of shift workers found that the
placebo group reported more than twice the number of sick days than those who were taking
probiotics.
6.
Regulates Moods.
The effects of probiotics on the digestive tract and blood sugar levels have already
been discussed, but as it turns out, the health of our gut is directly related to our mood.
In a study from UCLA's Gail and Gerald Oppenheimer Family Center for Neurobiology of Stress that
studied brain scans during and after the study, researchers found healthy women who regularly
consumed probiotics through yogurt showed more control in emotions and less anxiety
when introduced to emotional events.
The group that consumed yogurt ate two servings per day for four weeks.
7.
It's High in Protein.
Yogurt provides an impressive amount of protein, with about 12 grams per 7 ounces (200 grams).
Protein has been shown to support metabolism by increasing your energy expenditure, or
the number of calories that you burn throughout the day.
Getting enough protein is also important for appetite regulation, as it increases the production
of hormones that signal fullness.
It may automatically reduce the number of calories you consume overall, which is beneficial
for weight control.
In one study, subjects who snacked on yogurt were less hungry and consumed 100 fewer calories
at dinner, compared to those who ate lower-protein snacks with the same amount of calories.
Yogurt's fullness-promoting effects are even more prominent if you eat Greek yogurt,
which is a very thick variety that has been strained.
It is higher in protein than regular yogurt, providing 22 grams per 7 ounces (200 grams).
Greek yogurt has been shown to influence appetite control and delay feelings of hunger more
than regular yogurt with less protein.
