Today, we have a word that many People need they need this word not only to learn the word but they need this word to be a part of Their life maybe you the word is tenacity tenacity T -E -N -A -C -I -T -Y Adjective Form Tenacious He is tenacious.
You need tenacity people most people need tenacity It's a great word, especially if you're trying to learn something you're trying to learn English.
You need tenacity What is tenacity?
Determination Not giving up When it's really tough when it's really hard when it's not working after a failure You keep going You hang in there You don't stop you keep going you get up and you go and you keep going if you have a goal if you have a goal and You believe that your goal will change your life will make your life better, will give you great advantages, then you keep that goal and you need to work hard to achieve that goal and that requires tenacity.
Do you have tenacity?
I'll tell you more after you check out the dialogue.
He's still there? All day and nothing.
Not a bite. Just sunburn.
I respect his tenacity.
What is this conversation talking about?
Who is he? He is still there?
Yeah, he is actually me.
It's me. Um, and I'm still there.
I am outside fishing.
all day all day and nothing yeah I you know sometimes when I go fishing nothing happens no bites maybe where I go fishing there are no fish I don't know they they just stay away from me they don't like me sometimes I'm lucky I catch fish but this day he's still there all day and nothing all day he's been fishing all day and nothing not a bite not even a bite not even a fish trying to say hi just sunburn out in the sun all day no fish only sunburn but then the final line I respect his tenacity yeah if you're a fisherman or a fisher woman or a hunter or whatever it is or a farmer you you need to
start and then you need to wait and wait and wait and eventually you will catch a fish or get your game or harvest your crop but in the middle sometimes you don't see anything and it's like oh god let you for example let's say you're you have, you're a farmer and you plant some delicious watermelon and you plant them and you're excited and it starts to grow and it's really great, but then there's no rain and there's no rain for days and days and you worry and you look at the watermelon plant and it looks like the watermelon plant is dying and you wanna just give up.
So you take a little bit of water to the field and you give it some water And it's like oh, no this is this is too difficult.
This is not fun. These watermelons are gonna die.
Nothing's gonna happen But you know what usually if you are tenacious if you have tenacity if you work and bring water to your watermelon plant and Eventually, it'll rain and eventually you can harvest your crop And that's the same thing with English English is tough studying you know like right now you watch this video or listen to my podcast This is a podcast you listen, you know for two three minutes Maybe five six minutes if you listen to the entire thing that's good But think about it.
Think about it. Think about it.
It's five minutes enough to Master the language No. Now, five minutes is good.
It's better than nothing.

It helps you keep your level and sometimes you'll learn something.
But it's not enough if you really want to master.
You gotta invest more time.
