How I learned English at home by myself *for free* | No boring language learning tips

[@AmoPerrosMás]

I'm a native English speaker (learning Spanish) and your grammar and pronunciation are absolutely fantastic!

[@babelyla]

Yay thank you! 💕

[@elimpostoryt]

Im doing the same thing. I started a couple of weeks ago and my English skills have improved a lot, I have realized that it is my new hobbie and I really enjoy learning English and seeing my improvement every week. Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷😉

[@annaspeaks373]

The great result. I started to learn English in 2020 by myself and last year I started my KZbin channel in English (still can’t believe in it).

[@minamoa5442]

Cool

[@FrankKimono744]

I learn whole sentences saying them aloud. 5 days - 300 repetitions per day at least. Later I don't need to translate. I know the meaning of words straight away like in my native language. And also I remember the meaning longer than by learning separate words. This method is called: chunking. It was a real game changer in my learning process and communication skills in English and other languages.😊😊

[@babelyla]

That's really good advice! Thanks for sharing!❣️

[@AsadKhan-ft7qc]

Hi, where can I find the whole sentences for repetition, which help me in daily conversation. Thanks

[@FrankKimono744]

​@@AsadKhan-ft7qc The most important thing is that a sentence is correct regarding grammar and pronunciation so you don't learn with mistakes. You can find them in language courses etc. There are plenty of videos on KZbin. You can decide which sentences and words you need the most.

[@LearnEnglish_SK]

@@FrankKimono744Chunking and shadowing can be real game changers when it comes to learning English. 😊👍

[@elimpostoryt]

A couple of weeks ago, I couldn't say or write something correctly because i had many grammatical errors. With this method I improved a lot, I wish I had known about it earlier.

[@EunnaosouoTDAH]

That's awesome! I believe one hundred percent that is a achievable goal to reach fluency in any language by myself. I started to learn French two weeks ago.

[@cheetah2882]

Hey! Good for you! We shouldn’t pay teachers for learning a language! It’s a natural process! Just living it!

[@babelyla]

So true. It should feel fun & effortless! 💕✨✨

[@DazE_AheaD]

You made no mistakes this whole video. I would have never guessed you never knew english. In fact some people in america dont speak as good as you because of lack of grammar and or education. Im a native English speaker and im learning italian and eventually sicilian. So i watch a show in english but with italian subtitles right?? Thank you this video inspires me

[@babelyla]

Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video.😊

[@babelyla]

I used to watch anime in Japanese and read subtitles in English. So my brain was forced to really concentrate on the subtitles since they were the only way I could understand what they were saying. If you can read Italian well then watch a show that's not in English so subtitles become the only way to understand the movie. Hope that helps 💕

[@DazE_AheaD]

@@babelylaima do this. It definitely helps a lot. Thank you for replying your content is great keep it up.

[@AishiteruGG]

we did the same thing i just watch a lot of english videos with subtitles at first and sometimes i watch anime too. that's how my english improve without studying it. we don't need to go to school to learn english, you can do it by yourself in your home. and its better if you have a wifi cuz you can listen to a lot of english video on youtube or watch anime that you want.

[@carlfran997]

Did you use subtitles in English first?

[@AishiteruGG]

@@carlfran997 yeah always watch english video with subtitle you will notice that your english will improve

[@carlfran997]

@@AishiteruGG thank you

[@kaelyylora]

Hi Lyla I love your video and recommendations, and I'd like to say that YOU'RE AMAZING GIRLLLL. You speak very well, and I understand your videos without subtitles. Your pronuntation is excellent; you got this. I'm proud of you for expressing yourself, and I'm proud of me I understanding you. I'm motivated by you to pursue my desire to keep learning English. From Domican Republic!

[@babelyla]

I am glad you enjoyed the video!Keep going girl! You are crushing it!✨ 💕

[@ThuyKieuTuyetXuan]

Thank you for sharing! Your journey with subtitles sounds amazing! My story is pretty much the same as yours. I started out trying to learn Vietnamese on my own, but got nowhere. It was only when I was using Immersive Translate to generate subtitles to my Netflix - that was when I finally began to get anywhere. I knew that you must keep consistent, so I watched Netflix with the subtitles on every day, and have been making a lot of progress. The other thing is that Immersive Translate has over 100+ languages in its selection, so it wasn’t hard finding my target language.

[@jorgeroldan1681]

These are some great advices. that's great you have shared them. For me they'll be helpful

[@luizarruda4456]

I loved this video, I achieved a level in English who I can understand videos without subtitles but depends of the pronunciation and velocity of speak of the person (and you speak so well!), in this video I thought I understand well all the things, so new subscriber! I'm very happy with this new step who I achieved. I hope one day achieve the fluency!

[@PedroEchevarria2000]

I did the same thing. But first I read a lot of manga. Then I started to watch series.

[@babelyla]

I read a lot of manga and manhwas tooo. It really helps!

Your English is quite good. Thanks for sharing your tips and experience.

your accent is very good and your gramar is perfect

[@Gabeoverthinks]

I feel like English is easy to learn because so many foreigners learn it and when they speak they sound like natives. But what would I know I’m native a English speaker and know no other languages lol

[@babelyla]

Haha English is not easy but it's sure very fun to learn!

[@lucasl.6443]

Impressive! And you have such a great accent!

[@mondherromdhani5698]

Thanks for sharing, your accent and grammar are amazing, I liked the way you teach yourself, but wouldn't you mind tell us how long it's taken from you to achieve this level?

[@babelyla]

Thank you💕. It's hard to say a definite answer since I was so much in the process and everything felt effortless. Umm I would say a lot happened in one year and by the end of it I was talking in English. But I would say to stay away from setting goals and enjoy the process! 😊💕

[@Lilloo]

How much time did it take for you to become fluent? Your English is amazing.

[@babelyla]

Thank you! By the end of one year, I had started speaking in conversational English.

[@buzzbee42]

Wow awesome your English is great sis I don’t find that you need correct your accent it’s beautiful. I am also from Southeast Asia, living in states over a decade but let me tell you girl I continue to struggle with expressing myself in English. How did you retain the vocabulary?

[@LearnEnglish_SK]

Use the newly learnt words in your conversation, if you won’t they will slip your mind. 😊

[@babelyla]

I am an avid book and manhwa reader so I naturally gained a lot of vocabulary from there. Subtitles helped a bunch too. Basically conversational everyday English. Constant exposure to these methods helped me the most. Hope that helps! 💕

[@keanukim2198]

You can slightly hear the accent on some words this is amazing! I would of never known your were not American of second generation.

[@rose-myy]

Omg same and arabic translators intend to cut alot of moments and u can't find it all translated!! I just wanna ask like for the words u don't understand..do u translate them to arabic or just try to get the meaning from the situation?

[@babelyla]

I would just get the meaning from the situation. I used to watch a lot of anime in Arabic on TV back in Saudia and I faced the same situation. ✨ Amazing✨ stuff just cut out. 😭

[@dayuwaisly03]

You actually got the point here, basically when you learn something find something that you're interesting too.. It feels like you aren't learning anything but you are..

[@babelyla]

Exactly!✨ It feels effortless to you but in reality you are learning day & night without even knowing.

[@muhammadalfahad5265]

You look like Bangladeshi origin. Love from Bangladesh❤. Understand everything many accents but still facing issues with speaking and expressing myself.

[@zynabelchref-ef8vv]

I had always been thinking that am good in English but when i decided to speak for the first time I found myself turned to a mute girl 😂😂❤ I also crazy cause i have no one to talk with ❤

[@babelyla]

Yoo I used to face the same challenge! Had nobody to talk to in English. But don't let that stop you! Keep going, make mistakes, & you'll thank yourself later!💕

[@yoklug]

I don't speak English. Could you tell me what kind of tools you used? For example, Google Translate, a particular mobile application, etc. Thank you.

I speak Arabic. If I watch videos to learn, should I translate from English to Arabic or read English in English without translation? Please reply.🎉

[@LearnEnglish_SK]

If you can do English to English that would be the best. But if you need help then there’s no harm in doing Arabic to English first and then if you feel you can up your English level then move to English to English. 😊

[@babelyla]

Umm I don't have a particular time period in mind since I learned it through immersion and of course school. But I gained a lot of fluency in a year after I briefly dropped out of school after 5th grade. Hope that helps!

[@Fact_know_01]

Thanks! And you've been watching comprehensible content or everything you like? You didn't write down any words and stuff like that?

[@babelyla]

@@Fact_know_01 your welcome! I surely didn't write down anything while watching the anime😁. Just used to watch English subs and dubs for anime or movies and read books.

[@Fact_know_01]

​​@@babelylaHi. So, you've been just consuming content in English if it even wasn't understandable for you just interesting though, yes? And you've been reading what you were interested in? Plus you were speaking by yourself? Thank you!

[@babelyla]

@@Fact_know_01 yep everything! Also I mainly used to watch anime which were in Japanese so the only way I could understand them was through English subs. My listening skills got better through English movies.

[@johnwick3725]

So you watch... and then, if a word comes up that you don't know the meaning of, would you look it up or just continue watching?

[@babelyla]

Mostly I would just continue watching if I can understand the meaning of the sentence overall, otherwise I would look it up!

[@e-genieclimatique]

in brief: **Introduction:** - The video is about how the creator, who is South Asian, learned English on her own. - She shares her journey from struggling with basic English sentences to fluently expressing herself in videos. **Backstory:** - She attended an international school in Saudi Arabia during her elementary years but struggled with spoken English. - Despite the exposure, she was bullied for her inability to speak English fluently. **Self-learning Journey:** 1. **Watching Animes with Subtitles:** After leaving school, she began watching a lot of animes with English subtitles. This helped her improve her reading skills and vocabulary. 2. **Switching to English Shows:** She transitioned to watching English shows like the "Twilight" series and "Harry Potter" with and without subtitles to improve her listening skills. 3. **Talking to Herself:** She practiced speaking English by talking to herself, imagining conversations, and even pretending to be a beauty blogger. 4. **Having an Ideal:** She looked up to celebrities like Keira Knightley and Emma Watson, imagining conversations with them to improve her demeanor and English. **Key Takeaways:** - Traditional language learning methods, like focusing solely on grammar and vocabulary, might not be as effective as immersive methods. - It's essential to enjoy the learning process and make it feel effortless. - The purpose of learning English should be clear. It should be for personal or professional growth, not just to "flex" or show off, especially in regions where English is considered a status symbol. - She emphasizes the importance of being proud of one's culture and native language. **Conclusion:** - The creator hopes viewers found her tips valuable and encourages them to be proud of their linguistic backgrounds.
