Thank you Vladimir for our talk on Wednesday! You explained your new series very well and I can't wait to hear what happens with the sailors, the vaccines and the enemy ships in the next episode. It was also very interesting to hear your opinion about irresistible people; very nice article choice.

    The Critique Review Or Two Important Clarifications For This Article

    Part 2. Motivation.

    Usual level of motivation isn't capable to cope with this serious task. So we need to get motivation much more stronger than it have commoners.

    To solve the task of reaching fluency in English and then turn English into the second native language we will use this rule:

    from the TV series Game Of Thrones these are the words of Lord Baileysh, who rose from the lowest poorest bottom, from the "swamp" itself, from the "Grimpen bog" and reached incredible heights, standing almost on the same level with the king - there is only LADDER (it is meant professional or career) in this world and YOU ARE STANDING on one of the steps of this staircase, and there is NOTHING ANYMORE in the WHOLE WORLD. I am not evaluating it - how it is bad or good, I simply write it for our benefit that we could use this rule even for more thoroughly learning of English. For instance, you set for yourself such a goal as to reach the level of English as if it is your the second native language then all other existing in this world things events amusements people and other manifestations of objective reality you see as the help and assistant in reaching your main goal. You need to hurry up to organize your life this type of order while life doesn't begin to keep kicking up. We need to understand it and move only forward and up the stairs and not hide behind children if they are as it often happens or friends or diseases or hard circumstances or family, not behind ANYTHING ELSE.
    And if you need the example of how other people use this rule in their life you can remember the film The Devil Wears Prada and watch how Miranda built her life around the Fashion ladder and reached her goals how she has beautiful houses and how her car is more expensive than presidential airplane with all those ivory crocodile leather black and red wood all kinds of connections and so on.

    The Critique Review Or Two Important Clarifications For This Article

    Part 1. Techniques.

    Epigraph: "So many ships had been sunk stumbled on reefs or in huge storm and didn't reach their native shores and also so many learners have been breaking on the way to fluency in English"

    As learners we need to exposure or immerse yourself to English three to ten hours every day (ten is much more better), so lessons with teachers is only "cherry on the cake but self-learning or homework is the cake itself." Of course you can answer to me that it is impossible then I'll tell you about Chinese students that want to get in their life more than one plate of rice per day and every day and to reach their aim in learning English must rearrange their mind from hieroglyphs to words of letters and for it they learn English ten hours every day.

    Again please exposure yourself whole "Niagara Falls of English" every day - it can be listening while you go to your job and watching some TV Show with English subtitles with reading ones aloud out and comparing your pronunciation with professional actors and huge numbers of tons other types of activities.

    And else specially for you one my own professional concrete or specific tip to improve your writing increase vocabulary grammar understanding and even clean your speaking (writing and speaking is closely interrelated skills): train yourself to type in blind method and then type your favorite articles or books or something else with speed two and even three times faster than speed of your speech.

    Part 2. Motivation.

    Here's a good resource for reading: www.readtheory.org, very interesting article for the different levels and most importantly that they write a good high quality literary style and not dry computer language or bored author that already tired from his work on writing new texts .

    Now I read mainly specialized blogs such as lifehack.org or blog of Brian Tracy and similar but I started to read aloud the subtitles to the famous English and American movies and serials on the site www.ORORO.tv (I read aloud the subtitles and then listened as the characters in the film or the series pronounce the same and in this consistently I worked with each frame of the film).

    Maybe "The Late Show with David Letterman" is right for you but it seems American show.

    To support your motivation you can read interesting just for you adapted books to your level of English, using Google-translate to translate and sound unfamiliar to you words. Then your motivation will grow at the expense of understanding the contents of the book interesting to you. For example when you listen to English and do not understand almost nothing then your motivation drops because the brain consumes 25% of the resources of your body but gets nothing in return (do not get understanding) so your motivation fades and you support through adapted reading.

    1. For implementation must take action for myself, I introduced in the near future frames, borders , or the ratio between the actions and learning new material or reflections - 75% and 25% of the rest , or 50 % and 50 %, and this pattern extends as far as possible on my every day, or rather , I subconsciously aspire to this after I made that decision , but here are all very flexible and depends on the situation .

    2. After 25 minutes (this is one Tomatoes - 25 minutes - The Pomodoro Technique) or 50 minutes of work on the computer (mostly related to the study or the acquisition of new information ) I do what that thing or perform a number of actions towards achieving the goal , such as the removal of impediments or obstacles to the goal. Easier speaking, after 25 or 50 minutes of work at the computer to make a short break or a small physical work.

    3.Just for scheduled day affairs consisting of actions or for a week or even 10 days ( this format is more convenient for me ) I use the Kanban board organized right on my fridge with the help of colorful magnets and small squares of paper on each of which I write one planned business and move this box to the refrigerator door as you complete this case. Kanban board came to us from Japanese management , and specifically with Toyota , where this tool is used by all of the worker to the Director-General. Kanban board allows us to visualize the problem and feel the dynamics of execution when the task , case or project through the stages of planning, execution start or stay in the implementation and execution of its business or closing and analysis of performance .

      Here are three tools I use to acquire a new skill - not to postpone the case (setting the framework and boundaries of time management by Microsoft, Tomatoes and 25 minute breaks in between which I fill actions - the Italian system , Kanban board - Japanese).

    I would like to add such a method as reading an adapted literature aloud. Firstly when we read that we replenish our vocabulary and can see of using the grammatical constructions, secondly, we improve our listening and speaking skills because we read exactly ALOUD!!! Third reading is easy and interesting (because we have chosen our favorite books to read) to us because literature is adapted to our level and we understand almost 99 percent of text, especially if we read a book on computer, and sometimes use Google translate (and if we can understand much amount of material or content of the book then our motivation to learning English is growing). Fourthly, in this method a very high degree of obtaining English material per unit of time in comparison with the film where can do many things but to say little.

       I love walking around the center of Moscow and other famous cities with beautiful architecture in different styles such as Gothic, Baroque, Classicism and other and nature walks through the woods, fields or along the riverbank.
