In this English lesson, I’ll help you learn 6 powerful techniques for remembering new English vocabulary so the words you study actually stick in your mind instead of vanishing like socks in a dryer. One of the most common questions English learners ask is: “How do I remember new words?” In this lesson, I’ll show you practical and simple ways to move vocabulary from short-term memory into real everyday use.
We’ll talk about methods like writing sentences with new words, listening to native English speakers use them naturally with tools like Youglish, creating visual connections, acting words out, and using vocabulary again weeks later through conversation, reading, writing, and listening practice. I’ll also explain why making stories, drawings, and comic strips can turn vocabulary study into something far more memorable and fun.
If you’ve ever felt frustrated because you learn new English words and then forget them a few days later, this lesson will give you strategies that actually work. Whether you’re studying English for conversation, travel, work, or exams, these techniques will help you build stronger vocabulary habits and become a more confident English speaker.

In this English lesson, I'll help you learn fascinating words used to describe patterns, shapes, and designs all around us. You’ll learn vocabulary like spiral, vortex, zigzag, ripple, lattice, symmetry, and many more. These are words native English speakers use when talking about nature, art, architecture, science, and everyday objects.
Throughout the English class, I’ll explain each word with simple examples and clear definitions so you can understand how they’re used in real conversations. We’ll look at patterns found in things like tornadoes, spiderwebs, fingerprints, ocean waves, honeycombs, and even galaxies. Some words describe orderly geometric designs, while others describe wild and chaotic movement.
If you want to improve your descriptive vocabulary and sound more natural when speaking English, this lesson will help you build a whole new set of useful words.
I hope you enjoy this English lesson about patterns and shapes!

Read along to learn the English phrases A WARM BODY and BODY LANGUAGE
In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase a warm body. This is a phrase we use to talk about someone at work or at a place of work that doesn't do a whole lot and doesn't actually need a lot of skills to do their job. Sometimes you'll hear this.
We need someone to sit at the door of the building and say hi to people when they walk in. We just need a warm body. Basically what you're saying is you don't need someone with a lot of skills. You don't need someone with a lot of intelligence. They just have to be able to smile and say hi.
I think I would be good at that job. If they just needed a warm body somewhere to do something simple, I think I would be the person to hire. The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is the phrase body language. So body language is any time you communicate without words using your body.
By shrug, it means maybe I don't understand or know what you're talking about. If I make a funny face, it means I don't know what you... I don't like what you said. So when you have body language, it's when you communicate using your body instead of words.
So to review, a warm body is someone who does a job, who doesn't need a lot of intelligence or a lot of skill. Hi, Roger. Sorry. How are you doing? I'm just about done. I'm gonna walk away in two seconds. Nice seeing you.
Okay. A warm body is someone who doesn't need a lot of intelligence in order to be able to do a job or does a job that's very simple, and body language is when you communicate using your body. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from user.
Please could you reply if you see my comments and my reply? Sure. On this channel, I reply to most of the comments if time allows. Thanks for leaving 2. And I think you actually left three, so very cool. Anyways, yes, on this channel I do my best to answer all the comments and I think my track record is that I answer probably 80 to 90% of the comments.
I think that, there are stretches of time where I don't answer the comments where I don't have a lot of time. But there is also times where I'm pretty good on this channel at answering almost all of the comments. And I like that it's a nice smaller community over here.
A lot of people from my main channel also comment here. So that's kind of cool. But it is nice to be able to connect with some of you and get to know you better. So, yes, that is what I do. Hey, it's a little windy out here today, but I did want to walk by this tree.
I wish I had a tree like this on my property. It has beautiful flowers on it. I wouldn't call them blossoms. You know, in my lesson about spring, I talked about blossoms. Those seem a little bigger than blossoms. I would probably call those flowers instead, but I'm just on a little walk here in town trying to make sure I don't get anyone on camera who doesn't want to be, as people walk by.
But, yeah, it was kind of funny running into Roger. You heard me say hi to Roger. So Roger is actually someone I know. That big truck that you saw in the background is actually a truck that he uses to go to market to sell apples.
I think right now he works for a local fruit farmer, and that's one of his jobs. Obviously, on a Tuesday, he's on his way to market to sell apples and other things. So, anyways, here I am in town. What can I say about today?
It's supposed to rain today, and Jen is not very happy about that. She wishes that it was a little warmer and a little sunnier. It's kind of go time on the farm. It's the time where we really want sunshine, and we really want things to warm up a little bit so that they start to grow.
Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson. I'll see you next week with another one. Bye.
