Yes! 'What would I be most content with on my deathbed when looking back at life?' This is similar to what I meant to say in this video. When I have to make a decision about whether to go for something or not, it can feel overwhelming. But, when I view it from the perspective of myself on my deathbed or in my elderly years, it helps to see things from a different angle. Thank you for sharing your thoughts :)

Haha Hi

Hi Triet :D So, did you end up going for your PhD? You analyzed what studying for a PhD can bring to your future, like the pros and cons?

@@hunji._ Yes I ended up applying to Ph.D. this year. I analyzed career direction of Ph.D. vs non Ph.D. , also if Ph.D. what specific directions in Ph.D., what's plan after Ph.D., etc. I actually did so much research that now I can easily advise other people in my major bahaha

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Turning 18 is such a big step, and it’s normal to feel overwhelmed with all the decisions ahead. It’s okay not to have everything figured out. Most people don’t! You don’t need to have all the answers right away. I still don’t know my answer about my life 😅 Remember to be kind to yourself, especially with the limitations you mentioned due to medical reasons. It’s important to pace yourself. Sending you lots of positive energy 😊✨

Hi golden boy :D You look at the cons first, and working on each idea sounds very interesting. But sometimes, what your mind wants is different from what your heart desires. How do you deal with that?

@hunji._ If my heart desires something different from what my mind wants, and it is something incredible, I would try to follow it. It may work out or it may not, but the most important thing is that I tried.

@hunji._ Even though I tend to follow my mind most of the time, I believe I've missed out on some incredible things because of it. However, I choose to see it as a learning experience. When life gives me another opportunity to follow my heart, I will embrace it.

@@goldenboy-br That's a good way of thinking!

@hunji._ thanks.

Yeah that's a problem too

Odd take but for me, as long as I say the key words (and tone and context) correctly, they will understand what I'm saying. Might be a problem if the person never heard my accent before though. So if it's presentation or public speaking, I need to self aware that I better pronounce more correct words.

HI Vitor, Thanks for sharing your thoughts! It's true that genuine connections make language learning more enjoyable. Immersing yourself in a language can also accelerate your progress. The key is to be authentic and respectful in all your interactions :)

Hi Edú! How's it going? Thank you for the comment!

I appreciate the comment! Hope everything's going well on your end :)

Hi! I agree. Though language learning can be a common interest, it's not the only factor for the relationship. Balance language learning with building a genuine connection :)

@@pnk7591 hi 😊

Hi Edu! It’d be nice to hear your stories how you’ve practiced your English speaking skills 😊

@@hunji._ Of course. I'll tell you soon. 🙌😎

@@edubicuo that’d be nice! 😊

Thank you :)

Hi! Thank you for checking out my videos :) Unfortunately, I've come down with a bad cold after that infection. The doctor and I think somewhere with 4 seasons would be a good fit for my body, or maybe some supplements could help. This might mean moving again in the near future? How is it going with you? Hope everything goes well!

@@hunji._❤

I'm good. Thank you for asking. Where are trying to move? Here in the States or somewhere with the same 4-seasoned weather? Anyway, wherever you’ll find your happiness and ease in life, that would be awesome. Hoping for your continued success. 😊

@@navychefjoey Thank you!

Thank you ❤️

compound adjectives: worry-free, long-lasting, five-star compound noun: English learners Must-have is a bit tricky. It’s a compound adjective and can also act as a standalone noun.

@@hunji._ thank you for answering my question you are very kind for doing that! Anyways! Can you explain this to me, ' very light rain' is light here an adjective if it is why light is in base form why not past tense?

Hi can I say it is corrected because I can see like it is corrected by Loyd Sevilla? Which one is correct?

Which one is correct both are correct or both are corrected and why?

'Language school' is this compound noun or language is an adjective that describes the noun school?

In this sentence, “driven” is an adjective.

@@hunji._ could you explain why?

Hi! I would say both are right. But there's a slight difference in nuance. If you want to emphasize the overall tone and style of communication -> fancy wording If you want to emphasize the use of individual, uncommon, or unnecessarily complex words -> fancy words

@@hunji._ I'm confused can you explain a bit further because I always hear people using fancy wording instead of fancy word

@@hunji._ hmmm.. why did you say would because I'm having a hard time using would?

Hi! Even when you’re on noise-canceling headphones? Hmm🤔

Thank you for the comment 😊

Hi! KZbin knows you’re studying English hard! 😊 thank you for the comment :)

Hi! In my experience, the most important factor was finding someone who created a smooth and natural communication vibe, someone I genuinely enjoyed talking to. This naturally helped me speak more fluently, even with a limited vocabulary. I received some help along the way, and it pushed me to pick up new words organically within the context of our conversations. Talking to myself wasn't very effective for me; I personally needed the interaction with another person. For this, I trained myself to grasp new words/sentence structures by myself with the following way. >> The way I practiced my speaking skills was like this. I used to transcribe everything said in the video, repeating each sentence after I heard it, no matter how easy/difficult the sentence is. I tried to mimic them, checked some new phrasal verbs/words/expressions, and looked up the meaning of them. I was sometimes able to practice only 5 sentences for like 30 minutes to1 hour as my vocab and listening skills were not good enough so it took some time to master even 1 sentence. I enjoyed this whole process though, cause I was just enjoying myself speaking English itself. With this way, I could naturally acquire the correct and right way to say the sentences.

Comprehensible input is a great way to learn and keep practising 🎉

Wow, that's fascinating! How did you understand some Irish on your first day without ever being exposed to English before? Did the languages have some similarities that helped?

@@hunji._ When I was young, I lived in the Soviet Union. When I was 16-17 years old, they started showing over-translated American movies in Russian. These movies were illegally over-translated, and there was still the original sound of English. The English sounded mostly under the Russian and sometimes in between. I was watching movies and I didn't realize that my brain was getting a new language, but I understood that moment only a few months ago.

@@hunji._ Understanding some Irish and speaking English without grammar for many years while living in Ireland... Before four months from now I realize that I have grammar of English. For me, grammar means that I can now check how to use a word correctly in a sentence. Before, I couldn't have done a test where I had to choose the correct variant of a few words to use in a sentence. Now I can.

That's so fascinating! It's interesting how our brains can absorb information even when we're not actively trying to learn. The double exposure to English through those movies must have been a powerful language learning tool, even if you weren't consciously aware of it. It's amazing how much you were able to understand intuitively before consciously learning the rules.

@@hunji._ I read about language learning. Child speaks first word in his mother tongue and then under the control of parents (mostly) he needs up to 7 years until he goes to school to make this base of language in his long term memory and school he learns these grammar rules which has built on these words. Before rules he needs meaning of words... With second language this process goes faster instead of 7 years child need up to 1-2 years. I forgot how to learn any of my leanguage in childhood, but this how to have written teory about languages. With English I did not have the meaning of the words. This was my problem. I do not know what is the crucial aspect of my work of learning to give my mind this meaning of English words. I have been speaking broken English for many years. The problem for many learners is new, unfamiliar words in the language. My mind was empty of English words. I am not sure how that happened, and another person will do the same thing I did with a language that has only sounds in my head. Reading books is good for engraving this meaning of words in the brain.

Haha thank you! :)
