How to REALLY learn English (with Dan Everett) | Canguro English

In this video I talk to one of the most important and influential people working in the field of language today about how to REALLY learn English.
He shares tips and techniques he has learnt from over 30 years working as a linguist, author, and philosopher.
I want you all to know the truth about learning English. And it's time you heard the truth about language learning from someone other than me.
See you in class!

“There is no secret. It’s just hard work and dedication.” “Learning a language will change your life.”

[@Canguroenglish]

Yes!

[@NilaAvlis]

Great! I really love when I hear something positive about my country (Brazil) or my native language ( portuguese) . I've been learning english since 2016 ( I learned the basic at school, but for me , wasn't enough) So, I decided learn english by my own. I really aprecciate your australian accent Christian. I know probably I make a lot of grammar mistakes yet, but I'll never give up.

[@thiagoaugusto9262]

I've been learning English language for along time, I can conclude that listening is the key, the way to achieve the fluency.

[@VI69FOTAP6QHEH2JT7JH]

Oh, that's true. I remember my first conversation in English. For last about 100 days I have had a few conversations, but my listening improved a lot. When I had another one a few days ago, I felt much more confident and could speak more fluently.

[@thiagoaugusto9262]

I couldn't miss this chance to say that listening really helps. Helps a lot

Hi Christian. I'm an English teacher in Japan. I'm currently reading Daniel Everett's "Don't Sleep, There Are Snakes". It's a great book. This was a great interview. I appreciate your truthful insights. Keep up the great work!

[@Roero]

No pain no gain, that's true. I appreciated that Everett talked about the respect toward a people, I guess that respect is the key to improving your language skills.

I swear that you succeed man I have been taught from you more things thank you

[@snutea7505]

So far, it is the most honest and straightforward class out there about learning English I've ever watched. I'm from Korea and unlike most other indo-european launguages such as English, Deutsche or Espanol, Korean has unique grammar. In our language, verbs come at the end of the sentences and objectives are located before verbs. We seldom use I or We as subjects but unlike Espanol our verbs don't change forms according to subjects, etc. Thus it's extremely hard for us to learn English or other Indo-European languages. Therefore there are millions of absurd promises like we can make you fluent in English in 90 days sorta shits. But you made it clear that learning a language isn't illusion. It's practice and repeating, that's what I got right? Thank you so much. I'll keep watching your classes.

[@lovinghobby9072]

Yes, fear is right! In USA in the college ESL classes the comunication is not tought. Only grammar, rules, and pure pronation. To learn those sounds in a short time for adults super hard.

[@maruja8950]

Thanks you very much.....I love your videos...

[@niltonkenneph3538]

After i did start to learn english by myself I was able to see the world with other eyes and that changed my life. I've learned a very important thing You don't need to be a perfectionist you need to be able to express your ideas your desires. Then don't have fear of make some mistakes, cuz if you have, probably you'll never be able to achieve your goals. On the victory, enjoy it. On the fail, learn with your mistakes. I know that have some mistakes on my grammar but i'm improving it. Some months ago I've never would expect that i'd arrive at here.

[@marymdp]

Hi Christian!!! I could finish watching the video!!! I liked your video very much due to it is so interesting!!! Daniel Everett is a great man and he knows a lot!!! Thank you so much Christian for this incredible video and all your hard work!!! #YouAreTheBestTeacher 😀😀😀💪💪💪👏👏👏👏

[@gregwhite3810]

Yeah-yeah-yeah, that's the discipline. Hard work, but the key is to not feel it as a burden, bc if you liked it it does not feel hard, just as fun. Step by step, brick by brick, slowly but surely it will be accumulated and later somewhere on your road you're gonna realize it goes better, smoother. Do it every day, guys! It'll pay off! Happy Holidays!

Hi Christian,I´m Daniel from Argentina, and I wanted to tell you that I watch your videos very often because I realize the effort you are doing by helping people to learn english as a second language. I´m 70 now and I studied english since I was a child, but I am not fluent speaking though I have enough vocabulary which would allow me to speak fluently, due to my lack of confidence. What I am doing from a couple of years ago is puting my focus in listening to anything I can get in the web, teachers like you, for instance, like Alisha from 101something.com, AJ Hoges, Bob the Canadian, Emma from mmm.english your compatriot, and many others. I´m doing that because I feel the fact of listening to people with different accents helps me to understand more and more each day. Actually I began listening to Americ
