Languages is not something to memorize languages something to use. Wow

[@claidson1]

good, i agree

[@Canguroenglish]

YES

[@evanilsonp.8183]

I read this comment while He was saying it. What a coincidence. Hehe he

[@learnwithkholod1602]

how can I use it while I don't find anyone to speak with to practice my speaking skill

[@otavio.a.8.r]

Deep thought!

[@vortix8671]

I understood every single word you've said. It's amazing feeling :)

[@amaerukaoru]

Me too, but I cannot speak every single word like that way 😂

I am really sad about my performance in English, but this video motivated me. I won't give up

You forgot S in the end of verb. Keep on studyin' )

@@alekseichernoberezhskii1324 "s"? Where does this "s" go?

[@rodrigofariscojoaquom1930]

"sad about", nope "sad with". Use "with" when you're expressing sadness with someone.

[@apx2107]

@@rodrigofariscojoaquom1930 Thank you for your help

[@antoyuniarto3793]

Thanks for your motivated video, Christian... Amazing 👍

[@patrickmota2393]

I believe languages aren't something to memorize words, but it's something to use, to communicate, and to express your self. Every day I watch your videos and it motivates me to try more and more learning English. I want so much have a good talk in another language and can show my ideas, personality, and emotions. It is my dream and I will never give up. Then... Thank you to help me to achieve it.

[@moiseabeli1160]

All my life I've never seen someone like you. You're always honest in your videos

[@shebazkhan13]

On KZbin, less than 1 percentage of videos have this kind of like and dislike proportion. It's an outstanding video and it's helpful for every language learners.

[@adelalfusail1821]

Hi, I do agree with you in most of the point you mentioned in this video ,however, everyone has his/her own way to learn vocabulary. I have been studying English for almost 6 months and what I noticed is that the most effective way for me to learn vocabulary is listening. I do believe the more I listen , the more I absorb and grasp a massive amount of vocab not just only words but also phrases and the words part of speech (word family). Some of my friends who are currently studying English have different ways than mine but the see it more effective and efficient than mine , too. In another words, students have to find ways that might help them and expand their ability to understand and learn vocab. Thank you so much and I wanted to let know that you've been always more than an amazing teacher.

[@Canguroenglish]

There is no right or wrong way. Do what works for you. But if the result if not communication then you are not learning a language, you are being an academic.

[@user-mx8mv4ri3x]

Adeoly Alfusail your language is great for a such short studying. I mean you can write pretty smooth and explain what you think

[@emikoenglishpractice997]

ツAdelAlfusail your English is great! But I can’t trust that he has learned it only for 6 months. He definitely knew its basics before studying intensely. The fact is that we already learned simple words like red, short, pants, cat etc.. in childhood. It’s difficult to count the time we did it since English is a global language . We are taught it at school and we can see English everywhere all over the world. Btw I like this video, rather than accumulating vocabulary, we have to use and apply it in real conversations

[@yasalhemyari7629]

I'm delighted I've found your channel. It's giving us a new perspective of learning a language. You're taking learning English into a new perspective. I love that.

[@Pronetogood]

Christian, you are brilliant. Everytime I saw these flash cards I thought how it is uselles for me. Simulated for memorizing but not for conversation and language. Memorizing for cramming not for connection with people. Only practice, practice and practice! Keep moving Christian! Great video!

[@Canguroenglish]

Thank you

[@beatrizrieragonzalez2041]

Hey Cristiano!! I’ve just discovered this amazing Chanel and I feel absolutely stuck on it. Now I have a new way to improve my knowledge...indeed, just watching your videos, listen to your pronountiation is the best way to practice and learn English. Thanks!!,

'cause they're basically for children. If you want to move on you have to consume much more difficult stuff.

[@tatianakniazeva8900]

Thank you very much for your speech! Thank you for your amazing lessons!!!

[@briantriesart]

Thanks a lot! In my case there are a big difference between "the English that I know in my brain (to read, for instance)" and "the English that I can use in a real fluency conversation". So I realised that I need to learn new vocabulary just to be more familiar with the vocabulary that I already know. (in my case). Then, after study future perfect continuos, I'm better using simple present. Thanks Christian. I love your channel.

[@EdsonOliveiraCunha]

What a unique approach... Congratulations, I've never thought this way, every teacher have said that the number of words we need to be fluent

[@Jorgemirandavargas]

Excellent as always!!... thanks for all your advices which make us improve everyday.... Greetings from Chile!!!!

[@caiobrandao2684]

I think you got across the mainly step towards fluency/advanced level. It all comes down about practice. I'm a english learner and I regretted to realize that years after start my journey. Your videos are always with a amazing content. Thanks.

Thank you, teacher!

[@jesusfernando978]

Hi there! Really nice video. I do agree. Thanks 😊

[@TheRecyclable]

Awesome ! it's intresting how good you describe things and get people excited about the topic you wanna talk about. You're right ! But the reason that people think about counting english words is that there are so many words in english and each has a very specific usage as well as several different meanings ! (like in my language take and grab and get are all the same !) I came back to AU after 7 years and my english has gotten worse, and since I came here I've tried to memorise words but this just makes me nervous cus i can't use them, but when I socialise, I get better, I love english and to me english is the most advanced language.

[@danieldelathauwer4494]

I' m a native dutch Belgian spaeker, we learn also french at school from 9 years old, but because we never speak it at home or for life, I knowed a few words. When I was 22 and get in the BE army I asked to serve in a bilanguage compagnie. After a year in Kön Gremany I spoke french very well, al days I worked with a french speaker. To life in another language regio, alone and you learn it after a short time. Daniel Gent BE.
