Christian, I'm sixty years old. I have taken several English courses throughout my life, here in Brazil. I recently decided to go back to studying English, without leaving home, of course. After visiting many websites, I found The Canguro English. Since then I have watched many of your videos. In each of them I learned something new. It's not just language learning, it's a map that guides you to a better place. You are the best English teacher I have ever met! Thank you!!
@mychudungco4 жыл бұрын
From my point of view, you have gone back to take some English classes so far does not prove that your English is not good. You have taken these English classes because you want to gain more skills that you have ignored after years of taking. That makes you a better English teacher if you are a teacher or a better English learner if you are an English learner. whatever it is, those experiences will bring more success to your life in the coming days. Wishing you all the best!

Christian, my five cents on directions in a business environment. There are many applications, probably not in a town, but directions are used in documents, images, etc. E.g. top right corner; bottom left line, next to the logo; famous "bottom line"; second tab, last tab in the spreadsheet; hover over the image; etc. Don't beat yourself up. You are just great! The activity probably caused that the students lose fear for the language. Sincerely, Adriana.

A lovely insight Christian, your honesty and openness about yourself and English teaching and learning is a joy. My students here in Madrid all tell me that they have never been taught pronunciation as part of their ongoing learning process. They learned the basic "rules" of pronunciation and some of the many exceptions to the rules, but in the end they speak with many pronunciation errors that can be fixed quite easily with a bit more focus and practice. I always say to them that it's not really about "getting rid of the Spanish accent in their English", rather it's about speaking more clearly so others can understand them better. Likewise, they will also understand others better themselves. The challenge of accents comes when, as non-native speakers, they have to listen to native speakers who have strong regional accents who far too often make little or no attempt to speak more clearly and slowly when speaking with non-native speakers.

Gosh, it's so true! My english had improve a lot with all these videos on youtube about pronunciation, connected speech, IPA, specific vocabulary, most common phrasal verbs and all that stuff. But I really feel like I plateau even when I try to study daily new words and concepts of the language that I didn't know and the reason is that I really don't have someone to practice with. Daily I try to build this "think in english" habit and also I rig up a monologue walking around and imaging I'm presenting to someone else talking alone at my house, although I still hesitate when I want to speak and it's because I don't have anyone else to socialize, to compete, to converse. I just look at my phone like an idiot and think "maybe I'm not using this technology wisely, there must be someway, some digital place to socialize TALKING with native people or good english speakers" but how do I know? If you know, please tell me haha. Some app, forum, whatsapp group, whatever! I'll be happy to join! I'm from Colombia, btw.

As I remember, it is my first comment under your video. I understand that probably, you don't read the comments, but I want to share it anyway. One of the most important elements of perception a language in real life (and again, it's about the social side of it) is authenticity, the sincerity. When you feel that you hear an alive, real person, without masks as possible. That's why this video especially stands out for me. It doesn't mean that your other videos have a lack of sincerity, but in this one you allow yourself more - the right to be vulnerable. And in this case, your language is getting closer to me, getting more understandable, because you are, as a person, getting closer and more understandable.

Reminds me of the saying, 'When one teaches, two learn.' It's the only thing that keeps me going in the face of so much certainty peddled as this theory and that. It requires strength to face the expectations and demands of the market place, which falters in me given the conditioned responses to authority. It' s a call to creativity, to be fully individual, integral to community. This is not the message we get in the din of the market. It is our shared humanity that connects us, this dark terrain that all maps fall short of. And this is the courage to teach. Cheers, mate. You nurture a beautiful world.

Hi, Christian, I've been watching your videos for quite a while, and I believe this is the moment where you've come to grips with a problem of all language teaching/learning approaches. In my opinion, all successful language teachers manage to build-up an enjoyable community in the first place; some of them do it consciously and some - intuitively. The second part of the truth is CI (Comprehensible Input): whenever CI takes place, language acquisition happens. The third and the last prerequisite for a language input to be natural and effortless is a context as a language, in my opinion, is overwhelmingly dependent on a context. Now, allow me to say this: with your success, you owe to all these three things. And I nearly forgot to tell the most crucial thing in favor of the social aspect, and that Thing is Love. Thank you for your love to people you teach, Christian.
