Intensity means power, concentrated power, really, is what it</p> <p>means. Of course, repetition means doing something again and again and again and</p> <p>again and again. So maybe this is the bad news or the good news, I don't know, but the</p> <p>truth is to learn English, to learn any language, to learn any skill, to be a master you</p> <p>have to have a lot of repetition. And this is something that a lot of people don't like and</p> <p>they go "Oh my god, I'm bored. I don't want to listen to this again. I don't want to do</p> <p>this again and again and again."</p> <p>l'll give you a small example. I've recently started taking singing lessons and every</p> <p>lesson we do the same thing. We do these scales, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah,</p> <p>nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Every single time. Every day, same scales, same exercises.</p> <p>And anyone who wants to get really good at singing, and I do want to get good, has to</p> <p>do this. You have to repeat. You can't just say "Oh, I already know this. I did it 10</p> <p>times so l'm finished and let's do something new."</p> <p>Unfortunately a lot of people have this idea with language learning for some reason.</p> <p>Most people understand if you learn a sport you have to repeat the same basic actions</p> <p>again and again and again. If you want to be great at basketball, you probably know</p> <p>you have to practice dribbling, [which] means bouncing the ball, passing and shooting</p> <p>the ball, again and again and again and again. Michael Jordan practiced these same</p> <p>basic skills from a child until he finished his career. What, 20 years maybe, every day</p> <p>practicing the same skills, again and again. And not just practicing, practicing with</p> <p>emotion, practicing with power, practicing with energy, every day for 20 years or more.</p> <p>We've already mentioned Tiger Woods a lot, same t
