hi there I'm Drew Badger the world's
number one English Fluency Guide and in
this video I'd like to talk about three
simple ways that you can practice your
English with native English speakers in
your own country or wherever you happen
to be if you live in a native
english-speaking country these things
will work as well but specifically this
is a video for maybe people that don't
live in an english-speaking country and
they write me and say drew I don't have
anybody to practice with number one if
you have an internet connection you can
find lots of people to practice with and
you can learn more about this i had
english anyone dot-com so we have a free
quiz that people can take if your number
one problem is that your English is
great but you don't have anyone to
practice speaking with take our quiz and
tell us that's your problem and we will
give you specific advice even more
advice than what we're giving in this
video but you can find more about that
by clicking on the link in this video or
on the link in the description below
this video but these are three things
that you can physically do in person and
these are all things that I have done as
well in order to practice your spoken
English now in the first one the first
one is nice and easy
wherever you live unless it's like like
in the middle of a jungle somewhere and
then you probably don't even have an
internet connection anyway so you're
probably not watching this video but the
first thing you can do is go to a
restaurant that's run like either by a
foreigner that speaks English or an
actual native speaker people like you
know maybe myself I would go to a
japanese restaurant when I lived in
America and I could practice speaking
with the owner or any of the servers and
staff that work there you can find you
know some American food or some kind of
place like that probably a pizza
restaurant or something but even if the
person that's working there or that owns
the place is not a native speaker it's
still a place for you to go in practice
so I'd actually when i worked at a
Japanese restaurant in Seattle I used to
work at a sushi restaurant they're i
would get to practice with the customers
as well so if like maybe you can get a
job
we're even working at a restaurant where
lots of native speakers come so any
situation like this where you're working
in hospitality or service so places
where you can come where there are
opportunities for you to meet native
English speakers either because you are
working there or because you are the
customer
you were enjoying those services so the
first thing you should do wherever you
are you might need to travel somewhere
but find a restaurant that has native
speakers in it or that is owned by
native speaker you can probably look up
through your local search engine maybe
american restaurants or restaurants and
so whatever you know that's kind of a
typical American food maybe some BBQ or
some burgers or something like that but
find something where you can go to that
place and you're getting to feel like
you're in that environment i know a lot
of people in Japan do that they will go
to a particular cafe that's owned by
foreigners are operated by foreigners or
that has four and staff and then those
people are able to go there and then
they practice their english so it's kind
of a little world a little foreign world
inside where you live
so if you can't go to a different
country find the little america within
your own country
the second thing you can do if you are
not in a country where they are native
English speakers or maybe not that many
of them you will probably find some
places that really do have a lot of
touristy places so it doesn't matter
what country you're in if you live
around any kind of people where you have
foreigners that come to visit if you
can't go all the way to their country
when they come to your country you
should at least make the effort to go to
them now typically I would walk around
if I were going to be a military i'm
living in Thailand and I want to
practice my English i would go to where
foreigners are and one of my favorite
things even when i do this in Japan is I
ask other people to take my picture
this is a way of getting into a
conversation with people and I say hey
can you help me with this like I kind of
pretend to be a tourist in my own City
so if I'm like if I'm living in Nagasaki
I know lots about Nagasaki but I pretend
to be a tourist and I would go to a
touristy place where there are lots of
Japanese people and I say oh hey could
you take my picture and I'm guess I'm
just using this as an opportunity to
practice my japanese I don't need to be
in Japan to do that i mean i could be
like a touristy place maybe someplace
else but you know Japanese just happens
to be something i want to practice but
you get the idea so even if you are tie
or even if you are from Nigeria or
wherever it doesn't matter where you're
from there are likely some places where
there are foreigners around and if you
walk around and you see them and it's
obviously a touristy place where you see
lots of
people taking pictures it's a very
common thing for you to walk up to those
people and say hey could you take my
picture
so ask them to take your picture and
then you'll be more excited to kind of
develop a conversation with them because
many people are actually a little bit
too shy to speak so they begin by saying
something and maybe they just want to
start a conversation but if you can walk
up to someone and say hey could you take
my picture that will get them excited
and you can begin having a conversation
that way and say oh like I'm actually
from thailand or whatever and I'm really
here you can even tell them secretly
like hey I'm don't tell anyone but I'm
here just to practice my English and
they would probably think that was very
fine i've actually said that to people
here in japan now the final thing you
can do and this is what i call instant
immersion but it's a way of doing it in
your native country and this is to take
a tour in your native country but in
English you should be doing this it
doesn't matter whether even you go to an
art museum and you request like the
english translation of something like
you're listening to one of those little
audio guides if you go to your art
museum and you're taking an art to where
you can even just do this by yourself
but just request the english version of
the audio guide but the best way to do
this is to try to take an actual tour in
your own country or you can even taken a
tour in a different country if you want
but in English but the reason i ask
people are explained or maybe recommend
people do this in their own countries
because they feel a bit more comfortable
about it and they can also provide a lot
of value to the people that are visiting
that country so as an example if I am
maybe a Japanese person I'm not a
Japanese person but if i am or if I were
a Japanese person I would take an
English tour with people that are coming
from America or Canada and I would be
traveling around with them as a tourist
but when they're asking me questions I
can say oh like here's some interesting
things about Japan and I become valuable
to those people and because of that then
they get a lot of really good ideas and
they want to speak with me more so it's
really good trade-off where you're
providing local information that they
might not get from somebody else you're
actually kind of like a tour guide
within the group but you're deciding to
do that so instead of taking the tour in
your native language you take it in
English and this will automatically
connect you with other people
and you could even spend you know like
two or three days on a tour and your
English would improve dramatically so
this is a really great way one of my
best secrets in order to get out and
practice with people something I
personally done as well but if you do
this it will give you that instant
immersion without even having to leave
your own country just fine wherever you
are just travel maybe a little bit and
you'll find some great places to have
tours in English with other native
speakers if you have enjoyed this video
