[@davidivlev1294]

People shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes in the language because nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes. The only way to become fluent in another language is to overcome your fear and work very hard to achieve the result. When someone has the desire and willingness, it is possible to learn anything. Nothing can be achieved without motivation and perseverance. We can ask ourselves, does it make sense to learn something? And the answer is absolutely because that’s important to study and learn new things in this life. It’s never too late to learn something in this life.☺️

If you would please make more videos like this, they are very engaging and exciting! Other types of videos- instructional videos- tend to make me space out a lot, so I would have to repeat the video many times to listen again on what I have missed. Im not sure if It’s a problem with me or it’s a normal thing. 😊Best

[@incognito9262]

Also, “ Blocking out a word in a sentence” is spot on for us non-native speakers. Because, during a conversation or certain situations, ( talking for myself) I sometimes go blank and forget the right word which makes me feel embarrassed and frustrated.
