[0:00]Hi, my name is Saransh and I have been learning this language last 10 months maybe. And apart from this, I'm doing my class 12th. I'm in class 12th right now.
[0:10]And I'm from Madhya Pradesh Khajuraho. And simultaneously I'm running my small YouTube channel where I uploaded normal conversation videos and English related videos content.
[0:26]Yeah, that's pretty much about me. And if I talk about my hobby, so I love physical activities like yoga, exercise and I love travelling. I'm travelling enthusiastically. And I love these kind of things and that's pretty much about me.
[0:39]Oh, that is really great, bro. You know what, actually I like the way you pronounce English words and you somehow kind of got the accent also. You're using some kind of accent and I like it. I like the way you speak English.
[0:52]Oh, thank you sir. It's my pleasure, sir. Okay. Okay, no problem. So you said you have been learning English for the last 10 months. Like what do you usually do? How are you learning English?
[1:04]Sometimes I feel like I think I should throw in the towel. But sometimes I feel I should try to go further. I don't know why, but I am doing hard work. I am listening, I am reading, even I am speaking also. But English is not going to improve.
[1:21]This is I think it has stuck in one level, like I don't know why, but it is going to improve very slowly and I don't know why it is happening. So I am a little bit frustrated with it.
[1:32]No, no, you shouldn't be. Actually, English is always like that. Learning a language is, you know, it is always like that. You will learn it slowly and gradually. It will take its own time. It depends on the environment you are in, depends on the practices, it depends on the materials you use. Lots of factors are involved.
[1:49]Okay, and also, I, you know, I'm quite surprised that you used an idiom. Sometimes I wanted to throw in the towel. So what does it mean actually?
[1:59]It means like to give up. Like try think about giving up.
[2:04]Okay, so throwing in the towel. Okay, now I understand. So, yeah. They're throwing the towel in the boxing matches to stop the match. So probably, I think the idiom has come from the boxing matches.
[2:16]Yeah, maybe. I don't know about it but I learned this in YouTube. Okay, that's cool.
[2:22]I learned new phrases. So, okay, I am trying to implement. How many phrases do you know? Like, can you give me any example phrases that you have recently learned? Yeah, sure. So like when we start conversation, so we can say Sorry for teaching you. I'm not teaching, I am just giving. Okay, so when, okay. So when we start, so we can say as far as and that does whatever you want to fill. You can say as far as that is concerned.
[2:53]Like, okay, and other phrases I like not my monkeys, not my circles and not my monkeys. Not my circus means like this is not my work. This is not my responsibility. Okay. I don't care about it.
[3:12]Yeah. We can say like rest on in our laurels. It means people don't rest on their achievements. It's like the rest on their laurels.
[3:23]Rest on their laurels. Okay, this is the first time I'm hearing it. I've never heard this before. Let's rest on their laurels, okay? It is not even coming in my mouth.
[3:33]Okay, okay, give me the next one like, and something like we can say don't place someone on its pedestal. Like don't wait.
[3:44]Don't place someone on pedestal.
[3:47]Yeah, yeah, exactly. What does it mean? It means like don't think like he's a very good person and he would be every time good. So like don't trust blindly. It is like that, okay?
[4:01]Okay. Don't place someone on the pedestal. It's mean, okay, don't trust someone blindly. Oh my god.
[4:10]Exactly. And a lot of phrases are there. I don't remember most like written in this.
[4:16]And what is that? Written in this stars. Written in the Yeah, it was like, like your luck. Like it was all it has also written this star. Like it has also decided what you want to do and what will you do in your features. It's like that. Okay. In example, it is more like fate. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's already written. We always say it's already written on my head or something, right? Similarly, written in the stars.
[4:45]Okay, exactly, exactly. We can give I can give you example. Like when we met, it was like written in the star. It's like that.
[4:54]Like destiny. Yeah, that's cool, bro. You are using lots of phrases, but, you know, I like phrases, but I usually don't try to learn them because, I don't know, I feel like the other person won't be able to understand my English if I use lots of phrases. So I try to stick with one or two phrases that is very common.
[5:13]Recently, I learned this phrase, spill the tea. What does it mean? Uh, spill the this phrase is very widely used currently in Canada actually. So people use it on a day to day basis. Spill the tea means reveal the secret or come on, tell me about it.
[5:33]Okay, so you went to a party with your friends last night and the next morning I am asking you, you know, what happened last night and you are saying I won't tell you and I am telling you, come on, spill the tea. I mean that means come on, you know, open up. What's what happened? Tell me. So it's more like that.
[5:49]But sometimes people don't understand, so you feel uncomfortable.
[5:54]Yeah, that's why I really hesitate to learn phrases. It's because sometimes, most of the time people don't understand them. And especially Indians, they don't understand them. Probably Americans, they can understand, but Indians don't understand them.
[6:07]So I focus mostly on fluency. I mean, I focus more on fluency rather than phrases and idioms. But that's good whatever you're doing. You already have fluency and you're also focusing on phrases. That's really good.
[6:21]Thank you, sir. Thank you. No problem. So I have, okay. I want to ask you one thing like I should focus on vocabs or I should focus on speaking. Like some people say your vocabs and your grammar is not good. So sometimes I feel like I should focus on grammar or meanings, new vocabs and like that or I should just try to speak in basic vocabs.
[6:44]I think I would suggest you speaking first, that is the utmost important. And the second thing would be vocabulary and the third thing would be grammar. So first you focus on speaking. First of all, we need to get the fluency. Once we are fluent, we can incorporate some of the new words that we learn so that we can be more fluent.
[7:05]And once we are more fluent, we can correct our grammar mistakes along the way. So grammar mistakes, let me tell you, you cannot learn grammar in just one day or one month or even one year. You can only learn full grammar only when you are able to speak fluent English. So fluency is the utmost important. Without fluency you can never learn grammar also.
[7:24]Maybe you can learn grammar rules. You can write down the sentences properly, but when it comes to speaking, you do not use proper grammar because I told you in many of my videos. First one year I spent fully on grammar. I learned grammar top to bottom, but still when I was speaking, I was not able to speak. And the second thing was even when I was able to speak, I could not use a correct grammar there.
[7:48]So focus on fluency and what I think you are already doing perfect. You are in the right direction. Okay, I don't want to confuse you.
[7:54]Thank you sir. I want to tell you like this is a only video for you. Okay. This is a normal conversation video for you, but honestly speaking sir, this is a for me this is a big achievement because I remember when I started English speaking, because that time I had no idea like how to start and how to speak and where should I start and that time I started with your video.
[8:21]So this is such a achievement and I can't I can't trust like this is happening right now, because the one day I thought when I started like, if I will do video, if I will do conversation with you, so it would be very good achievement for me. And now I am doing, so I think people should and people should think about dreams and dreams come true, maybe.
[8:44]Oh, this is not a very big dream, bro. I mean, I am not a very big guy or anything. You can easily approach me. But I really do appreciate the fact that you really wanted to have a conversation with me and I liked it and I do respect that. And definitely, I will be uploading this, the last video I could not upload because the video clarity was not good.
[9:05]But definitely, I hope this video comes better. So far, it is going good actually. Okay, now let's talk about something. Yes, actually the weather is not very too hot in here because it has been raining since last two days. Like, it is, it is more like on and off. Sometimes it rains, sometimes it doesn't rain.
[9:26]So last night it was raining. Now it is not raining. I think the weather is pretty stable here, but last week it was, I mean, two weeks ago it was like completely hot, totally hot. We weren't able to go outside in the afternoon. And you can see, I am already I'm already getting tanned. Whenever I go out, my hands will be completely, totally black.
[9:45]Oh, it is a very high. Yeah. It's because of high temperature, yeah. And I started using the sunscreen and all those. I I never had the habit of using sunscreen or any other cosmetics, but recently I bought it because I don't know, if my face becomes dull, I don't think people will be watching me on YouTube. So I'm trying to take care of my appearance.
[10:06]No, people watch on their qualification and their skills, not face. Face doesn't matter. I would say. That's true. That's kind of true. Okay, so how about your place? Sorry, I totally forgot where exactly are you from? It is Khajuraho if you know. It is the international tourism place Khajuraho. Where exactly is it? Maharashtra.
[10:24]No, it's Madhya Pradesh. Oh, you are from Khajuraho. Okay. Yeah, I know. Last time also you said the same thing. It is more like a international tourist. Yeah, actually. Yeah, it's it's in the world conservation list or something. I don't know.
[10:41]Okay, the last time you told me that you wanted to be a tourist or something. Tourist guide. Especially you want to show people about your place, the temples and everything. You want to explain all of them in English. Have you started them? Because I think you're I think you're okay to start it because you do speak good English. Well, you can interact with tourist people. Have you started them?
[11:04]No, no, not yet, because first of all, I will complete my class 12th and then I will do course like it is a college course. Course it is something three years. Okay. So then, yeah, then after that company will hire me and I will start from Delhi, not Khajuraho. Okay, so you will be starting from Delhi, not Khajuraho. Yeah, exactly. Okay, it's like more authorized tourist guide. Yeah, yeah. Okay, that's cool.
[11:35]And also you told me that the main reason you wanted to be a tourist guide is because you get to travel to a lot of places. You can actually travel a lot of places and you want to travel to many places. That's why you wanted to be a tourist guide. Okay, I understand that. This is the main.
[11:53]Yeah, this is the main reason why I want to be to us guide. Okay, let me ask you a question. So in India tell me your dream place that you want to visit, like this is the place that I want to visit at least once in my lifetime in India. Do you have any place like that?
[12:08]Yeah, I have a various places in my bucket list. Like I want I want to go Banaras. Banaras is the first place where I want to go. And second one is Ladakh with bike. Okay, and Manali bike ride Shimla. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. And Manali, Shimla. And you know what, Darjeeling. And Tamil Tamil, Kerala. And this kind of place I want to visit. Okay. Looks like you want to you want to go to all the places of this country. Okay. How about internationally? Like do you have any specific place that you want to visit in your life?
[12:51]Internationally, like any country any specific place I want to go only few countries there where I want to visit. It's first is Switzerland. Just because why Switzerland? Because it is a honeymoon destination. No, no, no, no, no. It is a piece of heaven in the earth.
[13:04]Because it's a honeymoon destination. Okay. Yeah, that's all. And second one is America. Okay. Because just because of value of that country. Just because of their Britishness and like that. I want to know how is it? And third one is Australia.
[13:32]Australia. Yeah, the Australia is actually a very cool place. It seems. I've heard about it. Even I also want to visit Australia. It's a very good country to explore. Australia and New Zealand. You can try New Zealand as well. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's true. But I think. But yeah. And I think after two or three years, I will try to go first of all Sri Lanka. And I will try to first of all I will try to travel small countries like low budget countries, nearby countries.
[14:04]Sri Lanka. Yeah, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and these kind of countries. Okay. Uh, there is a country very close to India. Bhutan. They told me they follow Buddhism there. Yeah, Nepal is pretty popular one. A lot of people go to Nepal and a lot of Nepalis they come and work in India. It is a pretty popular country, but Bhutan is more like not very popular in the Southern States. Most of the people, when I say Bhutan, they do not even know such a country exists. It is very close to India. You can cross the border. And they say Bhutan is actually a very beautiful place.
[14:43]Have you heard about Bhutan? Uh, no, I didn't. I have no plan about Bhutan, but let us see if it would be good. So I can definitely go. Yeah, even recently I heard about this place and the people told me it is a very beautiful place. It is more like magical spiritual place. You can go on your spiritual journey and something like that. And I was like, okay, I will keep that in mind. Probably when I get time, I will go. I always keep everything in my mind. I never go anywhere.
[15:13]But you guys should try to visit because when people I think people learn more than books when he visited when he traveled and solo traveling is a very helpful for mental health. That is true. People they they get sorry. They find their life's purpose. And also they get maturity.
[15:35]They when they do solo traveling and when they experience the traveling. It is not about just traveling. It is about experiencing things, going and asking to people, talking with people, getting to know their culture, getting to know their background. And you know, trying to be the trying to be in the environment that is totally that you are not used to.
[15:56]So I think I have never done that much. I did it only in my place. Like I traveled in my place a lot, but I usually don't travel to a different place. I have never done that. Probably I will do in future. I love I love nonchalant. I love be nonchalant. So that's why I will try to be nonchalant. Nonchalant. I have never heard this word before. Okay. So it is like traveling without a reason. Yeah, yeah. Okay, like take your bag and go outside wherever you want to go.
[16:15]Nonchalant like traveling without any purpose. Okay, what does can you spell that word? Is it a word or a phrase? It is the word I think. I don't know it is the right or not. I think I am pronouncing wrong. Maybe it's like it's nonchalant, maybe non challenge, right?
[16:35]Nonchalant. I don't know. I've never heard this word before. Okay, so it is like traveling without a reason. Yeah, yeah. Okay, like take your bag and go outside wherever you want to go. And you know what, that is the age. That's the exact age to travel. That is the perfect age.
[16:50]Once you reach around the age of 30, I do not think you would be in a situation of or position of traveling anywhere because you would be busy with your work, your family and everything. And you will be making money, you'll be focused on money and how to make money, you know, how to build wealth, how to build relationship and all those things. But when you are in your 20s, that is a perfect time to travel and explore the world.
[17:12]But the capital is also important for traveling. So that is why I want to. Yeah, that is why first of all I am going to make any particular source for capital. So I was thinking to like if my YouTube will work, so I will try to traveling when I would be 20. Yeah, I mean you can start making YouTube videos. Especially traveling vlogs, it will really help you. Traveling logs or people really like traveling logs. They want to see the outside like most of the people, they just simply sit in their house. They watch videos and they want to experience what you experience in that video.
[17:51]So that is why traveling vlogs are performing well. You can try that if you want to make a so first of all just get too much confident because people will see you like that very. They'll be looking at you. What is this guy doing? Yeah, exactly, exactly. Yeah, but then don't worry about that, bro. That initial hesitation that will go away in just one or two times, you know. One or two times when you should start shooting the video, the third time you will be like whatever other things about me, it doesn't matter. Let's shoot the video. You will be like in the shooting mode.
[18:25]So that comes with practice. Don't worry about it. Okay, sir. Sir, when you started your YouTube journey, so how much time it take, it took to get a to got a thousand subscribers?
[18:41]Oh, it took me around uh, eight months. Very fast, sir. Very fast. Eight months, bro. Yeah, it took me eight months to get a thousand subscribers. Even I have been doing this last 10 months and I have 80 subscribers. Just think about it. Okay. I I get it. I understand your pain. But don't worry, try harder. You will definitely get it.
[19:04]Yeah, for some people it's earlier, some people for some people it takes time, but no problem. Eventually, we'll get there. Like I saw some channels, so I don't know why they got something thousand and two thousand subscribers in just two months. And they are making the same kind of videos. And I was surprised like why this happening? Why people God is doing not good for me. Mostly for boys, getting subscribers is very difficult, bro. Oh. mostly for boys. Yeah, it's very difficult. But when you like, when you, yeah, girls get I mean, it is not we cannot blame girls for that. It's the boys who are subscribing to their channel. You know, social media is totally dominated by men. Most of the content watchers, they are men.
[19:53]So they are the one who subscribe to women's channel, so they promote them. So it is actually men helping women, but men usually don't watch other men's channel because they don't like it. Oh my God, I don't want to see your face. Let me see a girl's face. So they are like that. I don't know why they do this. But you know what if you have, I mean, if you can show your unique talent, people will like it. To show your unique talent, it will take some time. First of all, you have to understand what is my uniqueness like people will put it in comments you are very good at this, you are good at this, something like that.
[20:26]So you will get you will have to understand and you will have to work on it. Only then you will be able to show your unique talent. And when you show it, people will start liking you. So I have a question for you. If you could go back to my age, what would be three major things you had focused on to know, on to grow career and make the biggest impact?
[20:47]Okay, if I go back to your age. First thing, if it is more like a time travel, if I am going to myself, my younger self, I would tell him, dude, start your YouTube channel now itself, you know, don't waste your time. YouTube is going to be a very big thing in future. So start your YouTube channel. So I would tell my young self younger self to start a YouTube channel at a very early on. And what else I would do? Well, I would tell my younger self to not to work in IT. Yeah, probably monetary wise, IT helped me, but I would tell myself do not work in it. Just go find a different job where you can move physically here and there. So those are the two things I would tell. Other than that, everything is fine.
