745. Mental Factors in Learning English (with Ray Addam) [English with Ray SwapCast]

[@EnglishWithRay]

Thank you so much for doing a podcast with me Luke, it was a pleasure to talk to you and I hope to do another one in the future. That is a great idea about the Arabic language video, I'll get working on something soon! All the best, Your Scottish friend Ray

[@milanalysenkova7821]

Happy New Year to you Luke and your family! All the best in your life from year to year. I could have given an hour talk on your exceptional method of teaching as well as many people who listened to you could. The one thing I have recently noticed for whatever reason, including your coming to Paul Taylor’s podcast, that Russians can smell great quality. Another fun thing, in my opinion, is that when I had been listening to you sometime ago, I didn’t fully realised everything, I knew less, etc., but you showed such kindness in regards to helping to understand while keeping your level of thinking high. I think that was crucial for me, and even though I listen to your podcast not so often these days, I will never forget all of that. Genuine and warm thank you Luke.

[@carloseduardodebarros482]

Interviews are an amazing way to support everyone and promote other teachers. Thanks Luke.

[@damasceno39]

Hello Luke! I would like to thank you for your channel, you are help me. I'm brazilian, my English is not good, I don't speak English well, but I want to learn. Actually I really want to learn English. I started to watch your channel, and I loved it. Congratulations! Thanks

[@Sportingalagrieska]

Btw, the analogy with the guitar is perfect. When you're a beginner, you learn the open chords, power chords, pentatonic scale... But when you try to "say" something you feel like you run out of "words" immediately and what you transmit is not really in the language other musicians "speak". Then you learn licks, and that along with your natural style makes it easier for you to produce longer and more "sensible" sentences and your ear becomes used to the language of music and so on. The same applies to chords, rhythm patterns and so many stuff playing the guitar involves.

[@victoriamaillard5178]

You are not only a good teacher, you are a nice person too.

[@АлександрГодзиковский-ь1р]

Totally agree! As an English teacher, I come across all this psychological stuff every day too. Awesome conversation; thank you so much. It helped me to confirm my ideas and observations.

[@kkrbalu6109]

Now I can understand your accent because I am watching.listening your podcast everyday I forgot to my fear during conversations with others. Thanks a lot you

[@mahindasiriwardena7404]

I like this conversation. I do enjoy listening to natural English spoken this manner, because this helps me a lot understand how real language happens. How it takes place. As they say we must learn English by using the language. I know that this is true by my own experience with language learning. Appreciate!

[@williamgutierrez7986]

Cheers Luke for all your videos you taught me a lot of English. With yours videos I improved my speaking and listening

[@Q117-q5p]

Couldn’t agree more, Luke, that enjoying the process of learning is really important. It’s a lovely feelings when there’s an intrinsic motivation otherwise it can be really frustrating

[@nevensalih-sp8uj]

I totally agree with you coz you know learning a lot of times it’s going to be tedious so we need to accentuate those good things in language like excellent English could be extended for whole life model 😅

[@sirlight-ljij]

34:00 Adding my favourite quote from "Getting Over It", which is extremely relevant in many contexts: An orange is a sweet juicy fruit, locked inside a bitter peel. That’s not how I feel about a challenge, I only want the bitterness. It’s coffee, it’s grapefruit, it’s licorice.

[@idrisalbusaidi]

Thank you for the information about the Arabic language option with Ray

[@gonzalobarral2357]

Enjoy the journey is something that i cannot afford right now as an adult guy I must boost my English level ASAP...it's mandatory for every type of work! I highly recommend to anyone start at young age, in order to save a lot of time and effort in the future!

[@kaz-kr6np]

I am a Japanes so called ninjya listener , just want to say I have been enjyoing your pod casting. Just wanted to say hallow to you. sorry , my misspelling contained in the mesage. Thanks for your efforts.

[@sunnyinnit429]

Such a great podcast!

[@harderotica4505]

I think it‘s totally possible to enjoy IELTS. At least the process of preparing for it. You buy a book and just start learning. Page by page. And I think, on the one hand it‘s calming, even fast like a cure for your nerves 😀 On the other hand - it’s also entertaining! P.s love your videos 😎

[@ra9ftm]

Lepster - a person who listens to Luke's English podcast. It's wonderful!

[@nouraharrak3479]

Thank you So much I am really Joing in podcast. Even I can’t understand some vocabulary ,but it is really fantàstic!

[@nevensalih-sp8uj]

It’s so useful..most of the time I thought the key of fluency to read more and listen more I didn’t focus on speaking coz from speaking the mind construct the sentence and the tongue can articulate as well the most important point focus on goal but enjoy task of hands (English is mysterious 😂😂

[@naimanaima2703]

First day in the university this week ..hope i can doing good and for all students too

[@TeacherZdenek]

Cool episode. I only got round to it now, but it's full of really good advice.

[@asimbehar]

Really incredible 🥰 , In the beginning few minutes of the conversation it was so difficult to get Scottish accent but then I got use to it

Wow this episode hit me so hard. I'm so used to being good that when I failed in medicine, I'm so afraid to try it again (and I'm still afraid btw). Also i have an interview later, I'll apply the things you said here later! Thank you very much!

[@joseedygarciaespinosa2713]

Fantastic videos and teacher. You are great Luke. So. I don't know what "lepster" means, (1:16), or maybe I listened wrong...Greetings from Mexico.

You get right ….Lepster “a person who listens to Luke English podcasts “

[@hilalahmad7286]

Hello Luke! I really enjoyed this podcast. Thanks for sharing some language learning psychology with us.

[@EvaCharkiewicz]

I agree with what you said, but you forgot one more thing. When you study and have a mental illness, it is really difficult. You come back, you start from the beginning and you have the impression that you are like a hamster in a spinning wheel, you are turning in a circle. And you do it all over and over again and your confidence drops ... these aren't always just excuses. People are not always lazy. I think starting over, these slow steps forward are better than standing still, because there will always be something left in our heads.

[@Sportingalagrieska]

Oh, I perfectly understand what you say. From many years ago I feel that experience you describe, it involves loads of patience and faith.

[@Ammasgrasshopper]

I just want to share a little bit of my personal experience. Any kind of mental illness can be very disturbing and crippling. If, for however short period, you are in the state of self-control/self-awareness, during those hard times, chances are that you want to reach out for help or get some self-help tips. In my case, I do that in English. That way, at the end of the day, knowing I have totally messed up with my life, at least I learnt some English. I hope you are coping well, my friend.

[@danielgerbermac3483]

I an french, i am 54 years, i begin like Luke more and more understanding listening english, i am very, i search a rapid solution for disabled poeple to get learning english, i begin to read in english the novel Wells, i am very glad, and my employer informs me that i mest retired and cease to work, sorry i can still learning english

[@amnasalah477]

I agree with your comment.Reading novels is a good way to learn English. I am very happy because you are trying to do your best in learning English .By the way I love the French language and I think it is the language of love and peace.I learned it while I was living in Egypt but I am not good at it .I hope you will be very good at English.

[@amanigentil1863]

you are best!!

Thanks for this video. Would you introduce me a book for learning advanced english grammar?

[@13xim59]

I've been waiting for the video like this , I mean which is a conversation

[@allaround5435]

I really appreciate you. The problem I have is that I mix German with English. Because both of them are not my mother language and I need to learn both of them.

[@lailaiziki5248]

This scottish accent remembered me the way of how some actors in harry poter's film speak

[@Ani-fj5bd]

Some little advice, from a linguist and a teacher. When you ask someone to teach yourself some foreign words, ask to teach polite style. If you will say that hello to me in Russian I will think you are very rude person. Teenagers were saying like that 20 years ago. ))

[@jagdeepkaur8004]

Hi Luke. Hope you are doing fine. I was just hoping to give you one idea about the podcast. There's this one show called squid game that is popular globally on Netflix. And it's been in news as well. So I think you should definitely make a podcast about this one show. Coz slots of people has watched it. And people would be interested in your views. It's a really different genre. (Obviously just a idea) Don't want impose anything. Other that that. I'll keep listening your podcast 🤓🤩🤗

[@mollietai8946]

Ray is rad!

[@Noor-Allah]

If I invite you to my classroom so that my learners speak to a native, will you accept?

[@lusiam3534]

Если бы Люк не сказал про «шотландский» акцент, я бы решила, что у Рэя арабский акцент. Мне было сложно разобрать, что он говорил. Словно Люк говорит по-английски, 100% понятно, а Рэй по- арабски, ничего не понятно…

[@Novak_Andrzej]

@@lusiam3534 камон, чувак говорит с шотландским акцентом, эдаким облегчённым акцентом Глазго. Behind превращается в beheind, "r" звучит во всех позициях, причём звучит она скорее как лёгкая русская "р", и тд. Я не спорю, чувак явно не чистокровный шотландец, но как минимум живет там с детства, либо родился там. Арабского акцента у него нет. Послушайте как разговаривают Билли Бойд, Макэвой, Теннант, участники Biffy Clyro и очень удивитесь их "арабскому" акценту.
