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!!

[@mychudungco]

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!

[@EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

He's a really good teacher and his videos are much more useful than some other teacher on KZbin :) (Take a look at my channel... if you like football!)

Agree

[@adrianaescobar3087]

Dear Christian... I'm Mexican, I love the way you're. I haven't met a teacher with the "transparency" that you have. You're very natural, whithout poses. I really enjoy when you laugh, I do it too at the same time. I can't tell you nothing else but thank you for being born. I admire you, I appreciate your time and I love you too. God bless you! 🇲🇽💕 🇦🇺

[@aminekessar]

Christian, this is THE learning process : the more things you learn, the more things you discover that you ignore...

[@MzSarah-vz7zq]

You're right, I teach English but our learning process never ends even when we become teachers

[@user-up3qs9mi8b]

Hi,

[@nazzarenogavini2649]

Your way of teaching and being appreciated by thousands of students is the answer to everything. Changing your mind about your beliefs is a sign of maturity and intellectual growth, Christian. For me, you're a great teacher.

[@annywally]

[@natalykkostina8657]

The best teacher of English and not only English ever. It's you, Christian

[@olgaleticiagamezpalma3441]

I absolutely agree with you Christian! Hope you're better, take care!

Hi Christian I'm 94 years old and Im really proud of you because you're the best teacher in our planet keep it up bro lets go

[@gianlucariva1964]

Hi Chris.... only the best and smartest people recognise the limit of their knowledge... To me your videos are just amazing... the genuine empathy that you always show has no match.... Your videos are a continuous source of inspiration....

[@linwanxuan2927]

I love one comment from this video: "It's not just language learning, it's a map that guides you to a better place." I can't agree more. You are really the best English teacher I have ever met! Thank Christian!!!

[@paolaclavarino813]

Exactly the same for me. Tks Chris

[@ihoryokhym3660]

Christian, this a good point of view when you all time discover something new despite your age. This that kind of character that I will be always appreciate. Because only when you catch yourself that I know everything that means that you are stack.

A lot of Brasilians people here. I've learned English here at home, and have used the Canguro videos to practice my listening.

[@domingolamelas8500]

I am 65; Christian, you are the best english teacher in the world.

[@dinakarmampilly5601]

Hi Christian. I love you too. I literally never get bored whenever I watch your videos. There is something magical in the way you present things and especially in the way you end your videos.

[@joenascimento6829]

I have been studying every single day in order to achieve the fluency. I hope I can get it and someday be able to teach someone else. Thanks,teacher!! You rock

[@EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

Some people believe "Nothing can be taught"... just because someone is teaching, it doesn't mean someone is learning.

[@Anime_universe396]

What's your study plan?

[@beppobarrendero74]

I'm gonna give you the best advice you'll ever recive when it comes to teaching: Do your best (of course, we must always do our best) and then put everything in God's hands... Thank you for sharing your experience!! You're wiser than others because you admit you Know nothing!

[@ANTONIOMARTINEZ-zz4sp]

Great piece of advice!

[@adrianagallego3929]

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.

[@Tony32]

That's a good point.

[@evanskabasele3543]

We Love you too, Christian ! Thanks for all!!

[@tataimik]

Wow, this was a realy honest announcement about yourselt. I think I understand your point, things are changing and opinions are too, but sometimes unconvenience or strange to comprehend this process. I believe if you are true and honest (and you are, I feel) this changing is a real developing and getting more wisdom. Thanks for sharing, it taught me to beeing brave. Good luck on the journey forward!

[@markdonovan1540]

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.

[@carlosmg28]

I never forget the first time I was watched you're material, you're was explained the phrases verbs and for first time I can understand these topic clearly than anyone else tryed to explain me before. Since now, for me, you're an awesome English teacher on social media. Thanks teacher and I hope like you this times finished soon. And sorry for my English but I'm learning.

[@EnglishforFOOTBALLFANS]

Like football? I use football topics to teach English on my channel... please take a look.

[@OscarMartinez-nt6zn]

Don't apologize for your English, your message loses strength when you do it! There is no problem if we make some mistakes anyone will die for that.

[@carlosmg28]

Some people like contrasts in our writings but you are right, messages strength loses mean when I'm apologizing for my mistake text, I'm still learning and I like me be humble on my English develop skill. Thanks for your advice and interest. Greetings.

[@carlosbusek1794]

Si Cristian eres un exelente maestro, yo sé que estudias español también y yo tengo ocho meses estudiando inglés y me cuesta tengo 51 años vivo en Venezuela, cuando tú hablas inglés me parece qué usas un vocabulario y una velocidad que puedo entender en un 95/100 soy piloto y estoy buscando un inglés al menos B2 con fluides, te felicito siempre aprecio tus vídeos. Buen hombre.

[@adamerdesz643]

These moments are fantastic. I mean this when somebody is very sincere in telling his feels about what he doing right now and he knows his own feels. That's what more and more people should behave. Thanks again, Christian! :)

[@rolandomorales4828]

Hi Cristian. I'm from Argentina. We all love U 2. You are much more than a teacher, U are our best friend.

[@filippocelardo2173]

“ I know that I don’t know” you’re the best English teacher ever (I watched your video on the order of the adjectives and I wanna to point out BEST, so I put it for first). Continue on your road Christian!!!! Thank you for your videos

[@blagobanov2055]

You are very sincer and different than other teachers. Born to be a teacher, who cares about the students and understands that they are human beings, not just a job. I wish you everything best. I don't you personally, but i'm sure you are very good person

[@ask_teacherwill4546]

Teacher Christian, thank you so much for making this video. Your perspective and viewpoint is needed so much in the Industry. Continue to tell your story and share your truth.

[@EugeneBo82]

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.

[@rlyehdate]

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.

[@luthientinuviel3618]

Hello talk is definitely the app you are looking for!! It allows you to talk with a bunch of english natives and not only :>>

[@kafkaz3320]

Oh Great l discovered one of the most distinctive KZbinrs 👍

[@carmenfernandez5919]

Hi Christian, I'm Maria, I live in Chester and I have an English class near my house in the Unity Centre Esol. This is not bad however, I need less theory and more practice. Sometimes the classes are boring because I would like the teacher to be more vibrant, and give motivation. You are fascinated by every video. I don't need a Certificate, I need to understand and speak. It is so difficult for me because I never studied English before came here and I am 66 years old. Thank you for your help.

[@solea59]

Hang in there Christian, you are doing a grand job. We all have self doubt and make mistakes. Life wouldn't/ couldn't survive without mistakes. If a person lives to be 100 they still know very little. I have learned so much of my own language by watching your videos and applying it to the way I learn my target languages. So don't doubt yourself . Keep calm and Teach !

[@malinkywoos]

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.

[@vermtech]

Young man, you are right. The only way you can learn how to teach is teaching, not reading thick books, not listening to those who can't teach and therefore teach teachers. By the way, I have been teaching for 35 years, not only, but also English as a second language. Keep going.

[@alessandramezzanotte5023]

Hi Christian, you are an amazing teacher. I loved your speech about ignorance because as an Italian teacher I've always felt the exact same way, I love my job but every day I feel like I have many things to improve and to learn and I often feel very ignorant. In the education field teachers always want to appear flawless and secure and they never say they want to improve. Your videos are inspirational, full of positivity and top quality teachings. Thank you for being real:)!

[@samuelevans2242]

Christian, I agree with you. You are a thinker in teaching English.

[@myenglishteachermissgreene538]

Nice comment. Very kind.

[@jesusfernando978]

You are an amazing teacher, in my sincere opinion. And I think you are conscious about how small and unprepared we could be sometimes. I believe you found the reason why we have to keep doing our best all the time, it is because we are unperfect! Keep going with the good work.

[@joero59]

Dear Christian, I'm an old French woman (60 old years). I watch often your video and it's always a pleasure for me and I learn a lot. I'm teacher too. I teach to blind people how to use their PC (Word, Excel, Internet, etc.). I would like tell you that all you tell in this video is true and allow me to add that, we have to take account social aspect, but we don't must forget anymore the individual aspect. That to tell you yes, thanks all the trainees to learn us, poor teacher, how always evolve. I'm not sure that my English is very correct, but I think that you could understand the deep of my though. I hope you have recover you health after Corona. See you

[@josemariaperezfresno9243]

My dear teacher Christian!! Calm down! Your reflexion about "not totaly feeling satisfied with everything you've done in the past" is normal in all professions. When you speak wiht a writer (for exemple) he/she always said that he/she is not satisfied with his/her first published books. And actually for us are fantastics books. I am a teacher for economics and when I see my old classes few years ago I am surprised that the students did not leave the classes at that time. The most important thing, as you say in this phantastic video is that all people should improve in their proffesion. I'll see you in the next video Christian!
