As a native speaker of Polish, fluent English speaker, living in Ireland I wanted to say something about learning and using a language. What helped me speak English was and is a great amount of listening to native speakers, mostly through mini stories. Mini stories plus random interesting stuff on KZbin helped me to start speaking to others. Why? Because when you hear someone talking, you know it will be ok to apply it in YOUR conversation. You also deeply trust that the way the native speaker speaks is simply true. Surprisingly I haven't learnt that from Irish people because they don't speak with clear pronunciation and it is hard to understand them. I learned mostly from the audio files. I only apply what I hear in mini stories and KZbin to my real life conversations. And it just works.

[@yvonneperera9091]

Yes it 's true.

[@mynameisqwerty2011]

Thanks for tip!

[@hosseinghassemi5213]

Yes, but did you have any fear of speaking? Of confronting an audience, a situation, where you're least confident presenting yourself in a language where you can't uphold your up-to-then identity? Issue, here, is not all about how you learn. Had what you say been true in every case, whoever watched or listened to mini series, or took any such path, should necessary succeeded at speaking fluently. But that's not the case. Listening is a great component of learning a language, true, but it could hardly help someone who's just afraid to speak, in isolation. For what it's worth, it could just deepen his/her--because then, in many cases, concepts of "correct/good" and "wrong/bad" English are to be dealt with. I'm a native speaker of Persian, and an English language teacher, btw.

[@cezarypyka]

This is not English teaching. This is the ART(!) of English teaching! Thank You a lot!

[@fenixshogun]

you make me cry with emotion because this is the first time in my life that I can understand a video entirely in English. thank you so much Christian, you made a difference in my life

[@nordic5272]

That is because he speaks with basic English.

[@bellusci1505]

You're absolutely amazing! Thank you Christian!

[@cristinadominici4705]

Christian thanks a lot. Every day you teach me something. Not grammar rules, not boring things...I like listen to you very much!

[@juanpablofrancesconi354]

Cristina, come stai? Vedo che stai imparando l’inglese come me. Io ho imparato italiano prima di studiare l’inglese, soprattutto perché i miei parenti sono italiani ed io ho la cittadinanza. Tra noi... io preferisco l’italiano ;P però come software developer ho bisogno di un livello ottimo di inglese. Ti saluto dall’argentina !!!

[@cristinadominici4705]

ahaha Juan sono felice di sentire qualcuno che ama l'italiano! Yo estudio también francés, Deutch y Turkish. me encanta tu idioma !!!

[@simonevasconcelos2081]

I'm speechless. You are incredible. Words take on a deep meaning when you say them. You are completely right. Your logical reasoning related to English communication skills is pure wisdom. Thank you, Christian.

[@urso3000]

[@jeancarlosgraterol1372]

You really are an inspiration, I love your accent, I love your way, and one of my drems now is speak like you do, ir at least, you are my model, I'd really like to finish my studies because I have more than 5 years studying but I don't feel I have improve, greetings teacher

[@posedion8181]

CHRISTIAN, it would be so fascinating if you'll invite Linguamus as a guest to your channel. He is one of the greatest polyglots- Linguist we have ever seen. He knows many languages, in addition, he knows Russian better and deeper than most native Russian speakers. The name of his channel Linguamus. He is really amazing in the language learning process and a good role model for most people who actually want to be fluent and motivated.

[@Spinoza11]

Thank you Christian, your accent is so clear and easy to understand. You use the simple words and you make simply this language. Signs of genius.

[@tusgenia7366]

Cheers mate. I'll take this as inspiration for my class tomorrow. We are getting ready for national tests in english within a week.

[@vvshai]

I am brazilian, my english is not so good, and I'd like to know how I can understand you SO well but when I see people talking in series I can't. I believe you have the most better pronunciation that I have ever seen

Hi Christian, very interesting as usual. I teach my 11 yos how to converse in English in Palma. I found that the children knew Grammar (written) & had enough vocab & were good at reproducing English sounds with the correct input. However, they never had the self-confidence to actually use the language. I figured this was a skill that could be taught & the situation I encountered was analogous to how I was taught piano; if you sat me in front of some sheet music, I could just about painfully eke it out even after years of practice, lessons & even some exam passes. I was a very poor parrot. Update to last year and after a few improvisation lessons , I can now freely improvise on a standard with no music. I had to learn blues flavoured chords, scales, & progressions but as an experienced student this was doable. So I wrote a very basic script where they ask each other questions (mainly about their own life/culture) & then I literally coached them through it line by line ...(Ask him/her how old he/she is? etc) but they never see my script. The results were encouraging; the near native speakers found it very natural & EZ, and were even improvising question for me. The weaker ones, I often had to correct with their flow & vocab, but with the weakest who barely spoke it was transformational. The weakest had a real fear of the language ("no entiendo Ingles" after 7 years in class) but after 10 minutes I had them asking questions & answering in a language they had just told me they couldn't understand let alone speak. Ok it was a bit parrot, but kids are like tape recorders, easily reproducing what they get input. Unfortunately, Covid terminated my bit of teaching improvisation, but I felt I was onto somut!

[@linonjila924]

I use your video to learn prononciation with. Using the shadowing technique with yours KZbin video help me to improve in my pronation skills. Thanks for all. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🤗

You're a great teacher and great person! Thanks from Italy!

[@nattidove7491]

I totally agree with you Christian! Speaking is the main aim in a long process of learning any foreign language. But unfortunately not everyone can achieve it just because of the fear to make any grammar or lexical mistake and feel awkward. Thank you for your encouraging and inspiring!👏

[@milanalysenkova7821]

Really well done. I like that it's calm from point of speaking and understandable because it cut on parts. Good format, good information

[@mahdijozi2100]

thank you christian for teaching us and encouraging me for your method it is vary useful mehdi from iran

[@user-of7td9oo7d]

It was awesome! Almost spiritual! Thank you so much, Christian; I totally agree. As an english teacher, it's a pain in the neck for me to see how the process of teaching is twisted into mechanistic memorisation and filling up the blanks((((.

[@thechatbox18]

Deep and straight to the very core of it. Thank you Christian. I'm sharing this right now.

[@pagani29]

Christian always going "straight in the vein"! I don't know if this idiom makes sense in English, but in Portuguese (direto na veia) means going to the goal without deviations.

[@irmgardweiss8981]

Hello Christian. Very good topics in this video. I loved! Thanks for sharing!

[@jarlielson]

thank you for your videos, you´re a great teacher and person.

[@teresacastro5693]

Thank you!!!!....you are the best!!!!🤗

[@WellingtonGomes-tl3nr]

A good conversation is a two-way street, It's important that both parts listen to each other and speak when it's time to do so. So you go back and forth, listening and speaking. A situation that annoys me is when people won't either shut up and listen or won't talk enough. I don't like to cut someone off or be constantly asking questions or trying to make conversation because the other person won't say anything. As a chat etiquette keep this issues in mind.

[@LettyMaria1]

I loved your thoughts. You have put into words ideas I have tried to express to my students. This video will help people to reflect on learning a language. Moreover I enjoyed listening to you while explaining. It was interesting and not over my head. Thumbs up

[@lucasvinicius8273]

Thank you very much! I was the kind of person that was always just watching and not participating, nowadays I lost my fear to talk with people and now I have a few friends that I can speak and have a conversation in English, even though I have some struggle, but now I deal better with it, and I do not worry too much, and yes, I still have a lot to learn!
