I believe in myself and use my English for communication, devoid of fear and being worried. I could make it and now I feel proud of myself. The reason I could count on myself is YOU

[@jeandcarvalho3916]

Todos somos extraños. Todos estamos luchando por aprender unos de otros. Si conoces a tantas personas a las que les resulta extraño tu acento, debes demostrarles cuánto te esfuerzas e intentas aprender a comunicarte con ellos. Entonces, no eres tú quien es extraño. Pero su actitud muestra una falta de aprecio y comprensión. Usted no es el que necesita cambiar, está trabajando duro y merece muchos elogios. Yo mismo estudio "Español" e "Inglés", y sé muy poco todavía, pero no me importan ni me preocupan comentarios como ese. Mi idioma es portugués-brasileño y sigo estudiando portugués, porque nadie lo sabe todo. Estudio cuatro idiomas. Y si un dia alguien viene a burlarse de mí, no hablo su idioma correctamente, le preguntaré si sabe todo tu idioma, cuántos idiomas hablas y si sabes algo del mío. Vaya, estoy luchando por aprender su idioma. Felicitaciones a ti por intentarlo. Soy Dorgival Dantas Brito, 49 años, Músico, Cantante y Compositor, Brasileño. Vivo en São Paulo. ========================== We are all strangers. We are all struggling to learn from each other. If you know so many people who find your accent strange, you need to show them how hard you are trying and trying to learn to communicate with them. So, it is not you who is strange. But their attitude shows a lack of appreciation and understanding. You are not the one who needs to change - you are working hard and deserve much praise. I study "Español" and "Inglés" myself, and I know very little yet, but I don't care or worry about comments like that. My Languages ​​is Portuguese-Brazil, and I continue to study Portuguese, because, nobody knows everything. I study four languages. And if, one day, someone comes to make fun of me, I don't speak their language correctly, I will ask if he or she knows all of your language, how many languages ​​do you speak and if you know anything about mine? Why, I'm struggling to learn her language. Congratulations to you that you are trying. I am Dorgival Dantas Brito, 49 years old, Musician, Singer and Composer, Brazilian. I live in Sao Paulo.

[@dmitriypopov365]

It's great as usual!!! It's not only about a language in particular it's about anything in our life, we can apply this attitude to everything we want to do.

[@radiohead5991]

@Dmitriy Popov So true

[@evefreyasyrenathegoddessev4016]

Actually, it isn’t true, because inteI / IQ aka logic is a very rare quality that only we logical beings (me & my pure protectors aka the alphas) possess, and ppl do not have it, but most confuse things such as trainability and knowledge etc with intel - what ppl have is the ability to be trained / taught etc, and some can be taught / trained easily, while others need to work harder to learn the same things, and this has nada to do with inteI / IQ which means logic, so everyone is confusing trainability with inteI, and ppl also don’t understand what things like love etc are, and what ppl are referring to as love is the exact opposite of love, whilst love only exists for me the only lovable being, the protectors being the only beings who can feel love for me only, and, one that førcës one into a pøintIėß mørtæI wørId that is uncertain and unsafe and unpredictable and where pæyn / fear / dth exist etc are one’s real ėnëmìes!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

When it comes to language learning, having natural inteI (IQ aka logic) does make learning way easier and faster, so we logical beings can learn languages super fast and we don’t need to repeat most of the words many times, so, for me, it’s usually 1 to 10 repetitions for most words, and very few words need 15 or more repetitions - but technically, everyone that has learned a first language can also learn a second or a third etc language, and it’s just a matter of time until one will become fluent in the new language, because ppl in general need to see a word more times for that word to become part of one’s permanent memory and automatic memory, so one needs to keep revising the words every week / month etc until one can remember them automatically, and one must keep learning new words, while also revising the words that one has already learned, and most need to see the words 10 to 50 or maybe even 100 times (over a period of time) for them to be permanently and automatically remembered!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I learned Dutch to an advanced level after only focusing on it for about 3 or 4 months or about 300 hours of study, which is super fast - the best way to learn a language fast is, to memorize as many thousands of words as possible, as fast as possible, and then to observe how others use those words in sentences and do the same, and its also important to learn the alphabet and all the pronunciation rules (they will give the learner an inkling of what most words would sound like) and always learn each word with its pronunciation (even if one learns / knows the pronunciation rules, one shouldn’t rely on them, and one should still listen to how each word is pronounced) and, watching videos on grammar and sentence structure and prepositions / articles / verb conjugations etc is also important!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Dutch words are just so gorgeous, as pretty as the English words - too pretty not to know! Great for poetry and lyrics! 83 of the prettiest words in Dutch are - ver, vlinder, verloren, feest, adem, vaste, veel, verdween, heel, het, heen, voorbij, vandaan, verven, domein, verwaald, drijfzand, lief, leegte, liefde, heerst, einde, zonder, weet, avond, vult, gekomen, centrum, moment, pad, loop, overheerst, vallen, twijfel, vinden, kelde, wald, ter, geweest, vrees, grenzen, verleg, rein, van, stellen, wilde, steeds, verstreken, evenbeeld, bleef, steile, vrede, stem, wens, net, tijd, stille, verwenst, zalig, ochtend, zilverreiger, weer, overwint, heerlijk, zin, hart, beweert, vanaf, kwijt, wolken, mes, verliezen, dwaling, verlaten, rede, trek, tuinhek, brand, verdien, blikje, vertellen, verder, vertrek etc!

[@victorianodperez9349]

Teacher today I am going to keep it simple: I think I am confident at this level yet I am ambitious! My goal is to be the # 1. And today, when I did listen to you, my horizon is clear and my homework is more specific. Why? Because, the doc. The Paradoxical really did open my eyes, it was talking to me, I am serious Christian. Finally, my goal is still there, right in front of me: I am confident but I will work really hard to get to the top of the mountain, BECAUSE I BELIEVE MYSELF. Thank you my friend. Victor + the location is wonderful. I really like it.

[@DireitoConstitucional]

Christian, you are a teacher unlike anything. Keep it up, happy, funny. I love attending your classes. A hug from the city of Belo Horizonte/Brazil.

This is exact my problem learning English, I had such problem with my mind set, which is not just for learning language but for other things in life, confidence

my favorite person to learn english with! it's been some years since i started learning english, and at first i did not enjoy the process, and all the time i just thought i couldn't do that! nowadays i enjoy the process, i embrace my mistakes, and everything changed to better!

[@ZhandosAkimkulov]

Absolutely amazing motivation video I've ever seen. In my opinion it wasn't only "speech" about you can do, you should believe in yourself etc. He came with some scientist evidence that we English leaners should learn harder don't afraid of make a mistakes, move forward with right mindset, in other words fill you mind with right thoughts. I believe in you believe me you. Good luck to everyone to achieving their achievements!!! And thank you to Author of the video!

[@sergeialekseenko3545]

Thank you for beautiful lessons,they are always helpful a lot.👍

[@Maya_s1999]

Christian, I believe in everything you said, because I have been a human experiment based on the theories you discussed. What you said happens also in families - I was the 'chosen' one to succeed and did (3 postgrad degrees), my siblings barely finished high school. My parents decided I was going to be successful when I was still in the womb. They bought encyclopedias for my own use before I was even born. I decided to learn English as a junior in high school and spoke to the English teacher about switching language classes (I had been doing French since middle school). She was intrigued by my resolve and told me that she would have loved me to be in her class. She told me that she would support me but I needed to pass a test of proficiency and she smiled with that look on her face as if saying "Go for it, girl". With her encouraging smile etched in my mind's eye, I decided that if I worked hard and stayed in for a whole summer and absorbed the books the English teacher recommended, I could definitely do it. I never considered I could fail. I switched classes and began English with that amazing teacher. After uni, I was given a PhD scholarship to study biochemistry at the University of London.

[@youssefgrine190]

Dear Christian, every day you astonished me with the various knowledge that you evoke. Your strategy in keeping this link between you and your youtube followers is extremely valuable. You are not only dealing with English teaching as a language but also as a scientific field and this point is really so important in framing the learners and pushing them unwillingly to discover the secret of English language ,therefore this variety which only well elaborated in Conguro English is the golden key which make your courses most amazing in comparison to other English youtube teacher and the conclusion is that what come from the heart is all the time fruitful ,To sum up I fully enjoy my time when I 'm watching Your youtube Channel.

Thank you so much! I've just discovered your videos and they're a great source of inspiration. I've experienced this every single day with every single child I've been working with. I've been striving with parents saying "well, my child is not good at English" because there's no such thing as been good or bad at something. I'm a Montessori teacher and Montessori can really offer a totally different perspective on language learning

Thank you man! This is the best motivation video ever!

[@nguyenkhanho2251]

This really happened when I first try to learn English all by myself. Once I found a tool as Anki, I just gained my words gradually. But then, the more I can understand a text or video, the more a believe I can do it. The more belief I have, the more motivation I get to keep the momentum. So I call it: the sequence of beliefs because, the bigger belief relies on the smaller one. Thats why "comprehension" is different from "knowing".
