If you heard words in your native language you are an Asian speaker!
And Asian speakers sometimes have difficulty with English grammar or usage that is different
than their original language.
This video will teach you about some of the most common mistakes that you can easily correct
to improve the way you use English.
It will make your English sound more fluent and sound more professional.
Many Asian languages do not use personal pronouns like "he" or "she" or "him" or "her" and this
can be a problem in English because they are so frequently used.
So let's talk about your mother.
Your mother, "she" is a woman and you love "her", right?
And your father, "he" is a great man and you love "him".
And let's use an example: "Let's say your mother had a baby.
So "she" is happy with "her" little baby.
And the baby is a boy.
So "he" is a "he" or "him", so your Mom, "she" is so happy about "her" little boy.
"He" is so cute.
"She" loves "him".
These are personal pronouns so important in English.
The second rule I want to cover is singular versus plural nouns.
"Robert bought three book at the bookstore" is incorrect.
Books is a plural noun so there is one book and two books and three books so it is better
to say "Robert bought three books at the bookstore."
In some Asian languages the object of the sentence can be put in the front of the sentence,
so "Shanghai, I like to go there" sounds correct but in English the object is placed in the
middle of the sentence.
So it is better to say, "I like to go to Shanghai".
Another common problem with native Asian language speakers is the difference between something
that is "very old" and something that is "too old".
Now my Mom is ninety years old so you could say she is "very old".
She has seen many things happen in her life, but she's not "too old".
In that case, "too old" would mean "excessively old" as if she was not useful.
But she is still useful and funny and can tell a joke and drive a car and cook food
for herself, so she's "very old" but not "too old" as in excessively old.
Also some things like a historical building, the Great Wall of China, or the Pyramids in
Egypt - something like that - is very old but they are not too old since we can still
learn something about history from those important historical sites.
One thing that can be "too old" is some type of fruit or something that has rotted and
can no longer be used.
You can describe a banana that's gotten black and kind of gooey and has flies around it
as "very old" and also "too old" because we wouldn't want to eat it, it might make us
sick.
In many Asian languages, the grammar is quite different than that of English and it's hard
to switch from one style of grammar into an opposite style of grammar when you are learning
another language.
It's easier if you are a French speaker and you are learning Spanish because they are
quite similar in the way they are constructed.
So this series I'm doing will help you understand these grammar differences and give you examples
that you can study and use to help your English be more fluent, more natural and correct.
I understand how difficult this transition between different types of grammar and usage
can be.
I spent a year studying Japanese and I learned some thousands of words.
And I spent a lot longer time studying the Thai language and I use that every day.
The grammar from those languages is not the same as English so I have to make that hurdle
to make sure that I use the grammar of the Asian language correctly.
So I study it often and review the most common mistakes that I and other Western language
speakers make so to make sure that I can speak correctly in the language where I want to
communicate.
Those are examples of some common errors that are made from speakers of Asian languages
when they try to go from their original language grammar to English language grammar.
It's almost like traveling to the opposite side of the world in terms of grammar and
usage.
I've written a book all about these most common mistakes.
These are mistakes that I've heard thousands of Asian language speakers make over the last
thirty years as I've been a teacher.
I'd recommend the book that would be helpful for you and the book is listed in the description
below, you can check that out and please subscribe to this playlist and channel.
I'm doing a whole series of helping native Asian language speakers improve in English.
I know you can do it!

Hyundai Motor sees steady U.S. sales in January - Duration: 2:30.
It was all smiles for Korean automaker Hyundai Motor in the first month of the year, on the
back of strong sales in the U.S.
But with Donald Trump stepping up his protectionist rhetoric, it seems the Korean automaker is
gearing up to respond.
Kim Min-ji reports.
Hyundai Motor saw steady sales growth in the U.S. market in January.
The automaker, Korea's largest, sold over 46-thousand-500 cars in the U.S. last month,...
up 3-point-3 percent from a year ago.
The solid performance was led by strong sales of the automaker's sports utility vehicles,...
including the Santa Fe and the Tucson.
Sales of the Santa Fe rose more than 53 percent from the same period last year to over 78-hundred
units.
Tucson sales also rose over 10 percent.
In Hyundai's compact car lineup,...
Accent sales were up almost 40 percent,... while Elantra sales jumped 33 percent.
Amid the otherwise good news, sales of Hyundai's popular Sonata model slipped to just under
79-hundred,... down 48 percent from last year.
That's raised concerns that a sales slump for mid-sized sedans could drag down the company's
sales figures overall.
This could spell trouble for Hyundai,... which is already bracing for stronger protectionist
measures under President Donald Trump.
Trump has made it clear that he will implement policies that advance his "America First"
campaign theme by reviving the manufacturing sector and creating new jobs.
The auto industry is one of the areas that could be hard hit... if Trump imposes heftier
tariffs on exports.
Amid such concerns,...
Hyundai has re-applied for membership with the American Chamber of Commerce,... which
is seen as a bridge for bilateral economic ties.
Hyundai also recently announced plans to invest 3-point-1 billion U.S. dollars in the U.S.
over the next five years.
That's up about 50 percent from the previous five-year period.
Although the automaker said the investment has nothing to do with Trump,... it comes
at a time when the new American president has threatened higher tariffs on imported
vehicles... and vowed to cut taxes and regulations for companies operating in the U.S.
He recently urged America's "big three" automakers to build more factories in the country, and
other foreign automakers have announced new investments in the U.S., including Toyota,
which will invest 10 billion dollars over the next five years.

Independent counsel grills Choi Soon-sil for second day - Duration: 0:48.
The independent counsel is grilling Choi Soon-sil for a second straight day.
Choi is the jailed confidante of President Park Geun-hye and the woman at the heart of
the ongoing political scandal gripping Korea.
She's facing multiple corruption allegazrttions,... but the focus of the counsel's inquiry today
is the suspicion that she used her influence to profit from a government development aid
project in Myanmar that involved the construction of a convention center in Yangon.
Choi allegedly recommended a company for the job and received shares in the company in
return.
The counsel had Choi arrested on Wednesday, after she'd repeatedly refused to submit to
questioning.
However, Choi reportedly refused to answer any questions and remained silent throughout
the interrogation session.

How to Stop Emotions from Controlling Your Life - Duration: 8:00.
Emotions are designed by nature to be fleeting.
They are meant to rise to the surface of our bodies to be felt, acknowledged, and released,
once and for all.
Emotion just wants to be recognized.
Biologically, emotion means to prompt us for action, give us important information about
our surroundings, motivate us and help us communicate to others.
However, most of us have learned to ignore this internal guidance system and avoid 'negative'
emotions altogether.
We have learned to unconsciously shut down our body's internal processing system when
we start to feel any signs of vulnerability, fear, or rejection.
We stop our bodies from allowing these natural emotions to rise up and convey their message.
We do this when we overuse television, social media, alcohol/drugs, or partake in any addictive
behavior.
Another common way we avoid emotion is by distracting ourselves with meaningless activities.
Shopping and amassing material goods are the most common ways we distract ourselves in
first world countries.
Although denying emotion is prevalent in our world today, we can't ignore the substantial
consequences we incur from doing so.
When we deny ourselves the ability to feel unpleasant emotions, they don't just go
away because we haven't paid attention to them.
We actually end up holding these emotions in the cells of our bodies, because they were
not able to run their biological course.
The body will store any emotion that is not acknowledged, as a way of preserving it, so
it can fulfill its function at a later time.
But emotion is not designed to be stored in the body.
The very act of pushing away emotion causes our bodies, and minds, to weaken.
Our bodies can and will slip into illness and disease because of this.
Anger, depression, anxiety, sadness, and shame are a few common emotions we tend to push
down and carry with us.
This is where the phrase "what you resist, persists," comes into play.
Not acknowledging these emotions encourages them to rise up over and over again, because
they have not fulfilled their purpose yet.
Remember-biologically, they are supplying us with information.
So when these same emotions persist, we must realize we can't stop them from rising up.
These emotions will continue to gain power (and presence in our bodies) until we process
them.
But ultimately, no matter how powerful they feel, they are simply emotions.
They are not something to fear.
We are capable of feeling them, even extreme emotions, without allowing them to hurt us.
We must experience what they feel like in our bodies, interpret their message and then
watch them vanish...for good.
For this is the natural function of all emotion.
Here are some tips to help you how to process and release overwhelming emotion.
In a quiet place where we won't be distracted, get comfortable and take a few cleansing breaths.
When it feels right, we can give our bodies permission to bring up any emotion necessary.
A firm affirmation "It is safe to experience this emotion", sends a direct instruction
to the mind and body, who are intimately connected.
Become an observer.
Scan the body from head to toe.
This scanning is less about doing and more about awareness.
The body will talk to us if we are listening.
Notice any place that draws our awareness.
Does it feel different?
Constricted?
Hot or cold?
Tingling or painful?
It may be subtle or it may be loud.
Pinpoint the area that we are feeling drawn to.
(Our organs are common areas we store unprocessed emotion, i.e. the liver, heart, stomach, etc.)
Place our hands on the area of the body that we are noticing the most.
Take a few long inhalations and exhalations.
We will begin to feel the stored emotion.
Breathe.
Allow the emotion to rise.
We may begin to feel very uncomfortable.
This feeling has caused us to shut down in the past, so we may experience fear at this
point.
Try to observe it and release any thoughts that arise from the fear.
We are practicing allowing the feeling to be there.
Accept it and lean further into it.
Sadness, anger, regret, fear, humiliation, or any number of emotions may rise up.
Follow our body's lead; we may want to cry, stretch, scream, or move in a certain position.
Witness the body, accept the feeling, release any thoughts and lean into the emotion.
We now have the option to take this one step further.
We may want to stop after Step #3 if we are feeling overwhelmed.
If not, we can ask ourselves the question, "What is this emotion related to?".
The emotions we carry with us stem from unhealthy beliefs we hold.
These beliefs may look like, "I'm not good enough," or "I'm unlovable," or "I'm not safe."
Continue to remain quiet, breathe, and hold our hands on the feeling.
We may begin to think of an event or time in our life that has caused us these emotions.
Specific themes, situations, or people may come to mind.
Recognize and contemplate these connections.
If a limiting belief did come to mind, be sure to let it go.
We can do this by stating something like, "I am worthy", or "I am loved", or "I am safe."
We can use any statement that resonates with us.
Whether we have discovered the origin of the emotion or not, it is now time to release.
Emotions want to be felt and acknowledged in order to be released, and we have done
just that.
Also, remember - no feeling is final.
We can thank our bodies and our emotions for communicating with us.
We can show love and gratitude to encourage our body to open up again in the future.
Discovering the limiting beliefs that are responsible for particular emotions is the
quickest way to ensure the emotion is released permanently.
So, if we have not discovered the origin of the emotion, it will likely rise again.
But every time we practice these steps, it becomes easier for us to discover, process
and eliminate these powerfully persistent emotions and limiting beliefs.
We learn how to feel emotions as they arise, and most importantly, not carry them with
us to drag us down and skew our perspectives.
Ultimately, we will feel lighter, freer and happier for it.
