I'm from Ukraine, I'm 54, and I have been living in Ireland from October 2022. I started to study English in 1979, in primary school, in Soviet Union. I knew nothing in English after finished school. Then, in my life, I started learning English several times (5-7) with the same results. Only when I came to Ireland it has moved from the dead point. Thanks a lot for your and your colleagues for the good learning materials!!!!

For the first time I could understand 100% a video in english. I was thinking to myself: how is this possible? I think the reason was the speed of your speech. You don't speak very fast and your speech is clear. I think that's why I understood everything.

Basically, there are no people with natural-born talent, there are people who love what they do and who spent a lot of time mastering a particular skill, the only barrier is your mindset.

Yes!

Great class, as always! Thank you Christian!

[@markdonovan1540]

Thank you for that video Christian, it absolutely makes sense. Your style of presenting the subject is so clear, concise and interesting.

[@SeoulForeigner]

I love the theory of the ‘affective filter’ when learning a second language. When I went to school, I couldn’t stand learning French and had no passion with the language but when I was introduced to Korean, I found my passion. Language is a passion and an art. I enjoy learning the constructs of Korean grammar but I love enjoy communicating with my Korean friends but focus less on grammar. I’m a firm believer in interaction to develop confidence in language production and comprehensible input to aid language acquisition. Thanks Christian for the great video.

[@GonzaloOviedoLambert]

Resumen: 1.- Afecto al lenguaje: Motivación, 2 Actitud ¿Como te sientes aprendiendo?. 3 Confianza. 4 Ansiedad: Debes manejar la ansiedad 5 Lenguaje es un aspecto social, entonces debemos aprender todos los aspectos de ésta. 6 Gramática: No te dara fluidez, pero si claridad, fineza en lo que pretendes decir. Debemos aprenderla en un contexto de comunicación. 7 Descubrir las reglas por ti mismo. 8 Con tiempos usamos at, dias usamos On, con meses usamos in, 9 Negative Feedback: Correcciones de un profesor. 10 Vocabulario: Lectura, Anki Cards. 11 Busca material un paso mas adelante de lo que sabes y buscalo en un contexto específico. 12 Fluidez es Practica!. 13 Es duro, ten paciencia, disfrutalo para que sea más facil. 14 Ten cuidado con falsos profetas, porque ellos tienen un negocio de ello. Busca material que disfrutes.

[@maggiepavan8549]

I've been an English teacher for over 30 years and I agree 100% with everything you said and explained in this video. 💯👏👏👏👏

[@Englishwithkim]

Hi Christian! I couldn't resist watching this video as I had a feeling you'd be taking fluency in another direction. As a fellow English teaching colleague, I find your approach so refreshing. Even here on KZbin, I emphasize fostering community, helping people feel relaxed and open to improving, and try to avoid false promises. In the end, I believe anyone can become fluent if you're willing to put in the work and take action - that's how I became fluent in Spanish even after years of "knowing" what I needed to do. I also find the emphasis on "fluency secrets" quite frustrating - all of my discussions of fluency center around identifying your needs and goals. While I don't think selling courses is a bad thing - all education receives funding from somewhere - they are not THE answer, they are simply ONE answer. Thank you for being a voice of reason and wisdom for your community and setting high standards for our teaching community as well.

[@Canguroenglish]

Hi Kim! Thanks so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me. I'm only interested in the truth, and because I personally have nothing to sell it frees me to be able to speak my mind. However, I agree 100% that selling courses is not necessarily a bad thing, and the real enemy is false promises! Let's work together to call them out when we see them! Thanks so much for your support!
