How To STOP Translating In Your Head (FINALLY)

0:00 Are you ready to finally stop translating in your head?

0:03 Well, today I'm going to teach you the three

0:05 stages you must follow to finally stop translating.

0:09 Are you ready?

0:10 Well, then let's jump right in.

0:13 Stage number one, you have to learn

0:16 vocabulary and expressions related to a topic.

0:21 Let me explain.

0:22 You're going to study a different topic every day for three days by learning

0:28 three vocabulary words or expressions used by native

0:33 English speakers to speak about the topic.

0:37 Remember, this is going to help you finally stop translating.

0:40 But why does this work so well?

0:42 Here's the first reason why this works so well.

0:45 It builds topic specific fluency.

0:49 You see, focused vocabulary study creates mental clusters of related words,

0:55 enabling faster, more natural topic discussions without translation delays.

1:02 You only translate in your head because you're

1:04 not sure what to say about a specific topic.

1:07 But if you're practicing, if you're learning terms related to a topic,

1:12 you won't have to translate.

1:14 Here's the second reason why this works.

1:17 It mirrors native speakers thought patterns.

1:21 You see, learning how natives native English

1:24 speakers organize vocabulary by topic trains your brain.

1:29 Listen, it trains your brain to structure English thoughts the same way.

1:36 The only reason you keep translating in your head is because

1:39 you have yet to learn how to structure your thoughts in English.

1:44 This first stage will help you do this.

1:47 And here's the third reason why this works so well.

1:50 It creates automatic, listen, automatic word associations.

1:56 You see, studying related expressions together builds

2:01 instant connections between concepts and English words.

2:06 Instant connections between concepts and English words.

2:12 bypassing your native language entirely.

2:16 This is how you stop translating in your head.

2:19 Let me show you a few examples.

2:20 So, here's the first example I want us to check out.

2:23 Imagine you're speaking about the topic of fitness.

2:27 The term is warm up.

2:30 After me, warm up.

2:33 Excellent.

2:34 Now, this term warm up just means to do light

2:37 exercises before a workout to prepare your body and prevent energy.

2:42 Here's the example sentence.

2:44 Always warm up for at least 5 minutes

2:47 before you start running to avoid pulling a muscle.

2:51 Now, moving forward, whenever you think about fitness or exercising,

2:55 warm up will pop into your head, connecting it to a topic.

2:59 What about this example?

3:01 Say we're speaking about fitness again and we have this term rep or repetition.

3:07 Again, rep or repetition.

3:12 Good.

3:12 Now, this just refers to one complete movement of an exercise.

3:18 We say a rep.

3:19 If you're lifting weights, one rep.

3:21 Lift your arm up.

3:22 One rep.

3:24 Two reps.

3:25 Here's an example sentence using this term.

3:28 Try to do three sets of 15 reps for each exercise to build strength effectively.

3:36 So now we have two terms, warm up and rep.

3:40 This moves us to our second term.

3:42 Again, terms related to a topic.

3:45 Example three, cool down.

3:49 Again, after me, cool down.

3:54 Excellent.

3:54 Now, this just refers to doing gentle exercises

3:58 after a workout to gradually lower your heart rate.

4:02 You've been working out hard and now you want to slow down the pace.

4:07 We say cool down.

4:09 Here's an example sentence.

4:11 Don't forget to cool down with some

4:14 stretching after your workout to reduce muscle soreness.

4:18 Makes sense, right?

4:20 So again you have warm up, you have cool down, you have rep.

4:25 Again these are the terms related to our topic of fitness.

4:30 So you have these three terms.

4:33 But what happens if we change the topic now I want you to check out this topic.

4:38 Here's the topic.

4:39 The topic is shopping.

4:41 Our second topic is shopping.

4:43 And the first term is browse.

4:49 again after me.

4:50 Browse.

4:53 Yes.

4:53 Okay.

4:54 Now, this term means to look at products

4:56 casually without necessarily planning to buy anything.

5:01 So, you're just looking around.

5:02 Again, the topic is shopping.

5:04 We're looking at three terms related to the topic.

5:07 Here's the example sentence.

5:09 I love to browse through bookstores on the weekend,

5:13 even if I don't buy anything.

5:15 Browse now is attached to the topic of shopping.

5:18 What about this second example term for our topic of shopping?

5:23 The term is check out.

5:27 Again, yes, after me.

5:30 Check out.

5:32 Excellent.

5:33 Now, this term again related to our topic of shopping just means

5:37 the place where you pay for items or the process of paying.

5:42 So, you understand the term checkout.

5:44 You know, it's connected to our topic, which is right here.

5:49 Shopping.

5:50 Here's the example sentence.

5:52 There's a long line at the checkout,

5:54 so it might take a while to pay for our groceries.

5:58 Makes sense, right?

5:59 Again, we're on stage one,

6:00 learning vocabulary words and expressions related to the topic.

6:05 And what about this example?

6:07 Still on our topic of shopping.

6:10 Return again after me.

6:14 return.

6:16 Excellent.

6:16 Now, this just refers to bringing back an item

6:19 you purchased to get your money back or exchange it.

6:24 This is the definition of the term return related to our topic shopping.

6:28 Here's the example sentence.

6:30 I need to return these shoes because they're too small and get a larger size.

6:36 So, we have the term return for our topic of shopping.

6:40 So again we have three terms for the topic of shopping.

6:44 We had browse, checkout and return.

6:48 Learning terms related to the topic.

6:51 But what if the topic changes?

6:53 What if the topic is now travel?

6:56 Here's our first example term layover.

7:00 After me, layover.

7:02 Again, our topic now is travel.

7:04 And the first term is layover.

7:06 This refers to a stop at an airport between connecting flights during a journey.

7:12 This is our term related to travel.

7:14 Term number one.

7:15 Here's the sentence.

7:17 We have a 3hour layover in Dubai before our flight continues to London.

7:23 So, we're learning terms again related to the topic.

7:27 This is stage number one.

7:29 Here's our second term related to our topic.

7:32 The second term is bored.

7:35 Again, board.

7:38 B O A R D.

7:40 This means to get on a plane, train, or other form of transportation.

7:45 The example sentence, passengers with small children may board the plane first.

7:51 Now, when you think about travel,

7:53 the first two terms that will come to mind are layover and board.

7:58 Learning terms related to a topic to stop you from translating in your mind.

8:04 And what about this second examples or third example term?

8:10 Jet lag.

8:12 Again after me.

8:13 Jet lag.

8:16 Excellent.

8:16 Now this term just means extreme tiredness and other

8:21 physical effects caused by traveling across different time zones.

8:26 We say jet lag.

8:28 Now here's the example sentence.

8:30 I had terrible jet lag after flying from New York

8:35 to Tokyo and it took me three days to recover.

8:41 So now you understand this term.

8:43 We have three terms for the topic of travel.

8:45 Again, yes, layover.

8:48 What's the second one?

8:50 Bored and jet lag.

8:53 Excellent.

8:53 So again, stage number one is all about

8:56 learning vocabulary and expressions related to the topic.

9:01 This is stage number one of finally stopping

9:04 the translation habit that's been happening in your mind.

9:07 So what happens in stage two?

9:09 There are three stages.

9:11 Stage number one, learn the terms related to the topic.

9:14 And stage number two is all about using the five W's to speak about the topic.

9:23 Let's break this down.

9:24 Using the five W's to speak about the topic.

9:27 So you're going to answer the five W's.

9:30 Who, what, when, where, and why about the topic.

9:35 We're still on the same topic, but now we're switching to a different stage.

9:39 So about the topic, answering the five

9:42 W's by creating one sentence for each question.

9:47 Then combine all five sentences into a natural paragraph.

9:51 Don't worry, I'm going to show you exactly how to do this.

9:54 Okay, so why does this work?

9:57 Again, creating sentences using the five W's about the topic.

10:03 Why does this actually work?

10:05 Here's the first reason why this actually works.

10:08 It develops contextual thinking.

10:12 If you want to stop translating in your head,

10:14 you have to start thinking in context in English.

10:18 You see, answering the five W's, who, what, when, where, and why,

10:22 forces you to think about topics in complete context,

10:28 not just one fact or one point, in complete context.

10:32 This actually trains your brain to organize information

10:37 naturally in English rather than translating isolated thoughts.

10:43 Here's the key.

10:44 Here is the second reason.

10:46 This actually builds coherent expression.

10:50 You see, creating connected paragraphs from individual

10:54 sentences teaches you, yes you, my friend, to link ideas smoothly,

11:00 which is how native speakers actually communicate in real conversations.

11:05 This is actually how we speak.

11:08 And reason number three, this strengthens practical fluency.

11:13 You see, combining the five W's, who, what,

11:16 when, where, and why into natural narratives prepares you,

11:20 yes you, my friend, to describe real

11:23 situations spontaneously without mentally translating each component separately.

11:30 Now, what does this actually look like?

11:33 Let's take a look at three specific examples.

11:35 But before we get there, I want to ask you this question.

11:39 How many times I'm teaching you this because I know

11:41 you've been translating over and over again and it's frustrating.

11:44 I've experienced it too.

11:46 When I was learning Korean, I would translate to English and it was frustrating.

11:50 So, how many times have you restarted

11:52 your English journey because of this frustration?

11:56 Be honest.

11:57 You start strong, life gets busy, and then you stop.

12:02 Then weeks later, you you start again from zero.

12:05 That cycle called the restart cycle is exhausting and it's not your fault.

12:10 You never had a system that made stopping impossible.

12:14 And that's exactly why I created this system, the 365day English fluency system.

12:21 One lesson every day.

12:23 No restarting, no falling behind, just a path you follow.

12:29 If you want to follow me, check the link in the description

12:32 and see what daily English actually looks like.

12:36 Now, let's check out these examples for stage number two.

12:40 Here's our first example.

12:42 Looking again at the topic of fitness.

12:45 So, who, what, when, where, and why.

12:46 Who?

12:47 We have my friend Sarah is a personal trainer.

12:50 What?

12:51 She helps people create workout plans.

12:55 when she works at the gym every morning

12:59 where her gym is located in the downtown area.

13:03 Why?

13:04 She loves helping people achieve their health goals.

13:07 So, we have each of the five W's answered.

13:10 Who, what, when, where, and why.

13:12 But how do we turn this information into a paragraph?

13:17 Look at this combined paragraph.

13:20 My friend Sarah is a personal trainer who helps people create workout plans.

13:26 She works at the gym every morning in the downtown area because

13:31 she loves helping people achieve their fitness goals or their health goals.

13:39 Each of the five W's was found in that paragraph.

13:45 This is why organizing your thoughts.

13:47 Stage number two about a topic using the five W's is so powerful.

13:51 Now, in stage number one, what was stage number one again?

13:54 Yes, the vocabulary and expressions.

13:57 There's a connection.

13:59 Now, I want us to combine what you learned

14:01 in stage one with what you're learning in stage two.

14:04 Here's what our updated paragraph would look like for fitness right here.

14:09 Adding the terms you learned.

14:12 My friend Sarah is a personal trainer who helps people create workout plans.

14:16 She works at the gym every morning in the downtown

14:19 area because she loves helping people achieve their health goals.

14:23 Before each session,

14:24 she makes sure her clients warm up properly to prevent injuries.

14:30 During strength training,

14:31 she typically has them do three sets of 10 reps for each exercise.

14:37 After the workout, she always ensures they

14:41 cool down with stretching to reduce muscle soreness.

14:46 You got it right.

14:47 You see the power.

14:48 Stage one, you learned the terms.

14:51 Stage two, we're using the five W's.

14:53 Now, that was for fitness.

14:54 What about our second topic?

14:56 Our second topic we have is shopping.

15:00 Now, for the shopping topic, who, what, when, where, and why.

15:04 Who?

15:04 My sister enjoys shopping for vintage clothing.

15:08 What?

15:10 She looks for unique pieces from the 1980s when she goes

15:16 shopping every weekend where her favorite stores are in the historic district.

15:23 Why?

15:24 She believes vintage fashion is more sustainable and stylish.

15:29 So, we have each of the five W's answered for our shopping topic.

15:33 Now, when we combine the five W's,

15:36 what would the paragraph or what does the paragraph actually look like?

15:39 Here we go.

15:40 My sister enjoys shopping for vintage clothing,

15:43 especially unique pieces from the 1980s.

15:46 She goes shopping every weekend at her favorite stores in the historic

15:50 district because she believes vintage fashion is more sustainable and stylish.

15:56 Excellent sentence.

15:57 Excellent because it includes excellent paragraph

16:00 in this paragraph includes each of the five W's.

16:04 But remember in step number one, stage number one,

16:08 we learned terms related to this topic.

16:10 Now, let's combine them.

16:12 This is what the combined paragraph for shopping looks like.

16:16 My sister enjoys shopping for vintage clothing,

16:19 especially unique pieces from the 1980s.

16:22 She goes shopping every weekend at her favorite stores in the historic

16:27 district because she believes vintage fashion is more sustainable and stylish.

16:33 She loves to browse through the racks for hours,

16:36 taking her time to find the perfect items.

16:39 When she's ready to pay, she heads to checkout with her selections.

16:44 Occasionally, she needs to return items that don't fit

16:47 properly or don't match what she was looking for.

16:51 Three terms, browse, check out, and return.

16:54 You caught them, right?

16:56 Excellent.

16:56 We've combined stage one and stage two.

16:59 Now, our next topic, our next topic, travel.

17:03 Who?

17:04 My cousin Mark is an experienced traveler.

17:07 What?

17:08 He plans backpacking trips to different countries when he usually travels during

17:13 the summer months where he has visited over 30 countries across Asia and Europe.

17:19 why he wants to experience different cultures and meet new people.

17:25 So each of the five W's can be found on this page speaking about travel.

17:30 Now it's time for us to combine them.

17:32 So this is what the paragraph would look like.

17:36 My cousin Mark is an experienced traveler

17:38 who plans backpacking trips to different countries.

17:42 He usually travels during the summer months

17:44 and has visited over 30 countries across Asia and Europe because he wants

17:49 to experience different cultures and meet new people.

17:55 Once again, what do we see?

17:57 We see that each of the five W's was answered.

18:02 Now, it's time for us to see what this would look like as a combined paragraph.

18:08 each of the five W's, but adding now our information from stage number one.

18:18 Here's the paragraph.

18:20 My cousin Mark is an experienced traveler

18:23 who plans backpacking trips to different countries.

18:26 He usually travels during the summer months

18:28 and has visited over 30 countries across Asia and Europe because he wants

18:33 to experience different cultures and meet new people.

18:36 He's become quite skilled at managing long flights,

18:39 often dealing with extended layovers between connections.

18:43 He knows exactly when to board the plane to get settled comfortably.

18:48 Although he still experiences jet lag after crossing multiple time zones,

18:53 he's developed strategies to adjust more quickly to new time zones.

18:58 Again, what do we see?

19:00 the three terms you learned in stage number one, layover, bored, and jetlag.

19:06 Again, we're talking about the three stages you need

19:10 to follow in order to stop translating in your head.

19:13 So, now we move on to stage number three.

19:16 Stage number one, vocabulary and expressions based on a topic.

19:19 Stage two, again, the five W's based on a topic.

19:23 Now, we have stage three.

19:25 Stage three is where it gets really interesting.

19:28 opinions and reasons about a specific topic, the topic we've chosen.

19:34 So, you're going to share your opinion about the topic by explaining what

19:38 you think and supporting it with three

19:42 clear reasons that explain your perspective.

19:46 Opinion plus reasons.

19:48 Now, why does this work?

19:50 Why is this so powerful in helping you to stop translating?

19:53 You see, this develops critical thinking skills in English.

19:58 Forming and expressing opinions directly in English trains your brain to analyze

20:06 and evaluate ideas without translating

20:09 which is essential for authentic communication.

20:13 Reason number two, it builds persuasive speaking skills.

20:18 Supporting opinions with structured reasons teaches you,

20:22 my friend, to present convincing arguments naturally.

20:27 just as native speakers do in discussions and debates.

20:31 And finally, it strengthens your conversational confidence.

20:37 You see, practicing opinion expression, expressing your opinions,

20:41 prepares you to participate meaningfully in real

20:46 conversations where sharing perspectives is expected and valued.

20:53 This is why stage three is so powerful.

20:55 So let's go back to our example topics.

20:58 Our first example topic is fitness.

21:02 So your opinion, I believe that regular exercise is

21:07 essential for everyone regardless of age or fitness level.

21:12 So we know your opinion, but remember you have to support it with three reasons.

21:17 And if you're watching this video lesson, you saw the reasons on the screen.

21:21 So reason number one,

21:23 physical activity improves cardiovascular health and reduces the risk

21:28 of serious diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

21:32 Reason number two, exercise releases endorphins which naturally

21:36 boost mood and help manage stress and anxiety.

21:40 And reason number three,

21:42 maintaining an active lifestyle increases energy levels and improves

21:47 sleep quality making daily activities easier to manage.

21:51 Now again we have the opinion and we have the reasons

21:55 but let's see what the updated paragraph will look like.

21:59 So again on this topic of fitness.

22:01 So we're going to give your opinion.

22:03 We're going to give stage two again, not stage two, stage three, your reasons,

22:09 but we're going to add in the terms you learned in stage one.

22:13 Here we go.

22:14 I believe that regular exercise is essential

22:17 for everyone regardless of age or fitness level.

22:20 First, physical activity improves cardiovascular health and reduces

22:25 the risk of serious diseases like heart disease and diabetes.

22:29 That's the first reason.

22:31 Second, exercise releases endorphins.

22:34 Endorphins which naturally boost mood and help manage stress and anxiety.

22:40 That was two.

22:40 Reason number two.

22:42 And finally, maintaining an active lifestyle

22:45 increases energy levels and improves sleep quality,

22:48 making daily activities easier to manage.

22:51 Reason number three.

22:53 Continuing.

22:54 That's why I always make sure to warm up properly before exercising.

22:59 complete my planned reps during strength training and cool

23:04 down afterwards to help my body recover effectively.

23:07 You see how we're building stage one, stage two,

23:11 stage three helping you to finally stop translating in your head.

23:16 Example number two, our second topic we have is shopping again.

23:20 What's the opinion?

23:21 The opinion is I think shopping at local small

23:25 businesses is more beneficial than shopping at large chain stores.

23:31 So we know what your opinion is.

23:33 Now we have to look at the three reasons to support your opinion.

23:37 Reason number one, local businesses contribute more money directly

23:43 to the community's economy and help create local jobs.

23:47 Reason number two, small shops often provide more personalized

23:51 customer service and take time to understand what you need.

23:55 And reason number three,

23:57 local stores typically offer unique products that you can't

24:00 find in a mainstream retail chain or in retail chains,

24:04 making your purchase more special.

24:07 So now we have your opinion and your three reasons.

24:11 What does the updated paragraph sound like, look like?

24:16 Including the terms from stage number one.

24:19 Here is the updated paragraph.

24:23 I think shopping at local small businesses is

24:26 more beneficial than shopping at large chain stores.

24:29 First, local businesses contribute more money directly

24:33 to the community's economy and help create local jobs.

24:37 Second, small shops often provide more personalized customer

24:41 service and take time to understand what you need.

24:45 And finally, local stores typically offer unique products

24:49 that you can't find in mainstream retail chains,

24:53 making your purchases more special.

24:55 I love to browse through these unique shops at my own pace.

25:00 And even though the checkout process might take

25:03 a little bit longer because of the personal attention,

25:07 I appreciate the experience.

25:09 If I ever need to return something,

25:12 the owners are usually very accommodating and helpful.

25:16 What happened?

25:18 You have your opinion.

25:19 You have your reasons.

25:21 And because you're thinking in English, not translating,

25:24 your brain also is able to access the terms you learned

25:28 in stage number one because you're learning based on a topic.

25:34 Our third topic, travel, the opinion.

25:38 I believe that traveling to new places is one

25:41 of the most valuable investments you can make in yourself.

25:45 We have a clear opinion what your thought is.

25:48 But now we need the three reasons.

25:50 Reason number one, experiencing difficult cultures broadens your perspective

25:55 and helps you appreciate diverse ways of living and thinking.

25:59 Reason number two, traveling challenges you to step outside

26:02 your comfort zone and develop problem-solving skills in unfamiliar situations.

26:07 And reason number three,

26:09 the memories and experiences you gain from travel enrich

26:13 your life in ways that material possessions never can.

26:18 We have your opinion.

26:19 We have your three reasons.

26:21 Now, what is the updated paragraph going to sound like?

26:26 Here we go.

26:27 I believe that traveling to new places is one

26:30 of the most valuable investments you can make in yourself.

26:34 First, experiencing different cultural

26:37 different cultures broadens your perspective

26:40 and helps you appreciate diverse ways of living and thinking.

26:44 Second, traveling challenges you to step outside your comfort

26:48 zone and develop problem-solving skills in unfamiliar situations.

26:54 And finally, the memories and experiences you gain from travel

26:58 enrich your life in ways that material possessions never can.

27:03 Even when I have to deal with an inconvenient

27:06 layover or wait to board a delayed flight,

27:10 I remind myself that these minor inconveniences are worth it.

27:14 Yes, I might experience jet lag after a long journey,

27:19 but the personal growth and unforgettable

27:22 experiences make every trip worthwhile.

27:26 Stage number three, opinions and reasons.

27:30 You no longer have to translate in your head, my friend.

27:33 Follow these three stages and you'll see a difference in your English.

27:37 I hope you enjoy this lesson and I'll talk to you in the next one.

27:50 You still there?

27:52 You know what time it is.

27:54 It's story time.

27:57 I said it's story time.

28:00 Okay.

28:01 So, I have a story for today.

28:03 I've told this story.

28:04 I told it once maybe about a year ago, but it's about our topic of travel.

28:10 Travel is one of our topics.

28:11 So, I want to tell you what happened to me when I boarded,

28:16 you caught that, a plane.

28:18 So, I was um boarding a plane and I was in the the first group.

28:24 So, I was able to get my seat.

28:25 I was traveling on Southwest and Southwest you can choose your seat.

28:29 So, I got on the plane and I was sitting down.

28:34 And one thing I normally do after I've used the restroom,

28:36 I always put on lotion.

28:38 I like my hands to be nice and moisturized.

28:41 So, I had used the bathroom prior to boarding the plane.

28:46 So, as I sat down, I took out I always have lotion with me.

28:50 I took out my small lotion container.

28:52 Now, before I was able to put the lotion on though,

28:56 the person that was going to be sitting in the same row as me,

29:00 um, as I was sitting in, he had to come in.

29:02 So, he said, "Excuse me, ma'am." I said, "Oh,

29:03 no worries." It was a very tall um, black guy.

29:07 He looked like a football player, very, very tall, big guy,

29:10 and he was going to sit in the window at the window, right?

29:13 So, I said, "Oh, sure.

29:14 Go ahead." So, he went and he sat in his chair.

29:16 And so, I let him sit.

29:18 He got himself situated.

29:20 And so I proceeded to once again take my lotion and I was looking down

29:26 at my hand because the lotion was

29:29 in my hand and I was slowly opening the lotion.

29:34 I didn't want it to spill or anything.

29:35 So I'm opening the lotion and as I'm opening the lotion

29:39 looking down I have my left hand holding the lotion,

29:44 my right hand is opening the lotion and all

29:46 of a sudden the third hand appeared in my view.

29:48 Now again, remember I'm looking down and I'm opening the lotion

29:53 and another hand came in my view and this hand was large,

29:57 almost twice the size of my hand.

30:00 So I'm looking down.

30:01 Now remember I said the guy that sat next

30:04 to me was like the size of a football player.

30:06 So I knew it was his hand.

30:08 And so I looked up and I looked at him.

30:10 No words.

30:12 No words.

30:12 I looked at him and he looked at me and said,

30:16 "Sis." And we both just busted out laughing.

30:22 Now, I'm going to explain why this was funny.

30:24 He looked at me and said, "Sis," I said,

30:27 "I got you." And I opened my my LOTION COMPLETELY, PUT MY finger in it,

30:33 and I gave him a dab of the lotion in his in the palm of his hand,

30:37 and he said, "Thank you, sis." And he proceeded to rub his hands together.

30:42 So, let me tell you something about African-Americans.

30:45 This may extend to Africans.

30:47 It may extend to other cultures, but African-Americans.

30:51 So, when an African-Amean is with another African-American and there's some

30:56 lotion that is taken out or our hands are dry, right?

30:59 We don't like to be dry.

31:00 We do not I remember being lthered up in Vaseline when I was a child.

31:04 We do not like to be dry.

31:06 So if another African-American without saying a word

31:09 does this while you have it in your hand, they're saying, "Help me out.

31:13 My hands are dry." What was funny, again, I'm not a I'm not a tiny woman.

31:18 I'm 5'6, but he was like a football player.

31:21 And so I when he leaned his head over and said,

31:24 "Sis," it was like he turned into this little boy and was like,

31:27 "Sis, you already know.

31:28 My hands are dry.

31:29 Look at them." I said, "I got you, boo.

31:31 I got you, boo." And I took it out and put it in his hand.

31:34 I didn't know this man from Adam, but he said, "Sis,

31:37 you know," and I put the lotion in his hand

31:40 and he was able to moisturize his hand.

31:42 So again, whenever I think about that situation,

31:45 I laugh because it's like an unspoken rule amongst black people.

31:50 If your hands are dry, I got you.

31:51 My hands are dry.

31:52 Do you have me?

31:53 Do you have some lotion?

31:54 I hope you enjoyed this story and I will talk to you in the next lesson.
