Hello Thiago! I'm from Cuba, and now I live in the United States, for almost a year and half. I really want to say that I greatly appreciate your excellent content. Even though my native language is Spanish and I don't understand Portuguese very well, I still prefer you over other teachers who speak Spanish and are also good at their job. This is because of the high quality and warmth of your videos, the common sense and intelligence with which you create and present them, and the genuine consideration you show towards your students in your choice of expressions and vocabulary. I have many more things to praise about your work and probably about you as a person as well, but I think it's enough to simply say congratulations on your achievements, and of course, thanks for helping me so much!!! 🎤🦖

Great video, teacher Thiago. From my side I would say that I need more practice to speak naturally and fluently. I love English and learn new things. I have been trying many ways to be fluent but its not enough (and without many pauses). My dream is speak like you teacher

[@juniorfernel]

Thiago, thank you so much

[@VladyslavShakh]

Thiago, you ROCK. 👏👏👏 Thanks for the great advice and motivation. I was watching that channel where you were performing only because of you. Good luck, my friend, with promoting your own channel! You're going to make it 100% and a big success awaits you. ❤

[@quo.vadis.tron7]

Thiago, you're right, communication is very important because in my own language I still have aspects that could be more effectively expressed. I would like to write more about it, but my knowledge is limited. As always, thanks.

[@Hudson_Singh]

Thank you for your valuable advice thiago. listen listen listen to get fluency and proficiency to speak in English. Really it was a very useful episode.

[@fernandobenegas8176]

thiago you are the best

[@JePoOtaku]

With this video, I really felt like you were talking about me. As you have said, it is not only about fluency but also about proficiency. It's time for me to take a step further in creating more complex, detailed sentences and adding some new vocabulary to my English. Even though I feel fluent, sometimes when I try to speak about "deeper" and "more academic" topics than conversational situations, I have this sense of a lack of words and the fluency just goes away. Thanks for this video Thiago.

[@teacher.thiagoalencar]

Glad you found it useful and that you were able to grasp the main point of the video! Improving our communication skills is an ongoing process. Thanks for watching!

[@telodigofacil]

you are amazing. I think I'm not fluent nor I have a good proficiency, but according to your explanation, I understand that I should first work on being proficient. thank you so much for everything you do.

[@josemanuelbernal7554]

I love your videos with subtitles!! The best way to improve my listening.

[@CatherineBlake141]

So true, Thiago! Some people speak fluent (their speech is confident and fast, like a flow), but they are not proficient! They make grammar mistakes (sometimes big ones). I wouldn't call that fluent. For me fluency is both flow + proficiency, they have same value I think. But as you said, fluency is not something absolute. I am so fluent when chatting and drinking at a bar with foreign friends😀But not so fluent when I'm having a call with foreign business partners!🙄So I have no idea If I can call myself fluent, that really depends :) Thank you for your smart and thoughtful topics!

Thiago, thank you so much for your effort, every single video has been very useful for us.

[@JeyrelCastillo]

I like the way you speak. Your tone of voice and articulation. Just one think, I think that saying "amount of years" is not correct. Instead, use number. According to Oxford, "the quality of being able to speak or write a language, especially a foreign language, easily and well" Then, most people confuse fluency with entonation, articulation, speed, spoken grammar coherency. And yes, I like your definition for Proficiency. Amazing job!

[@teacher.thiagoalencar]

Thanks for sharing, Jeyrel! About "amount of years", you're right. That was probably a slip of the tongue on my part. Keep watching the videos!

[@irenewu8573]

Hi Thiago, I really enjoy learning English by watching videos that you made. They are really helpful. As you mentioned, we need deliberately expand vocabulary by reading wide range of reading materials and immerse in the environment. However, I find it difficult to memorize words because I don’t have many opportunities to use them. How can I improve my English skills under this circumstance? Thank you soooo much.

[@danielherrera6730]

I found this video very interesting, I thought I was very clear about the term "fluid" but it turns out I wasn't.

[@Sóumit-q6z]

Will it be beneficial to make yourself isolated from the mother tongue speaking individuals...to have more opportunities to immerse yourself in English...?I assume it is...

[@jesusramos4606]

Hi Thiago what's going? Your classes are unique, is everything i need it for keeping learn more and more, I don't knew the important of proficiency in English until today. In addition your English fluently is amazing, like so smooth 😂 Thanks so much thiago have a god day❤

My 8yo daughter have been going to English primary school since September 2022. Before this she didn't know anything in English. And now she is much more fluent than me. She understands faster and reads even faster than in our language. She writes stories. She is able to explain to her teachers everything. But she makes many mistakes, doesn't have a big vocabulary and knows nothing about for example, present perfect tense 😀

[@teacher.thiagoalencar]

It's amazing how children can develop their fluency so quickly, isn't it? Thanks for sharing!

[@ArtemHahauz-nm7bk]

I encourage everyone who has reached the plateau write their own story below this comment. I would say that I'm bending over backwards to reach this proficiency; it's not, however, going well with my overall flow. I'm constantly noticing how my English improves, but my overall flow, as I mentioned before, suffers very much. Sometimes, I'm not only discouraged but also frustrated. To be honest, I have no idea how to enhance my flow. I try to use various grammatical structures; however, I find myself strugling with some of them so that I can not apply them smoothly. I would really like to get a responce from other learners who might relate to it. For now, I go about my day as usual, trying to improve myself, but each and every time finding bunch of mistakes. Best regards to everyone; I really wish that no one experience this plateau, as it is extremely irritating. Ukraine

[@lucianofernandes-dev]

Hi Thiago. I think my proficiency level is C1, but my fluency level is B2 for sure. So, I committed to record a video every day for 120 days straight speaking English to force myself with a speaking routine and improve my fluency. The objective is to reach a C1 level at speaking English. Only when my speaking skills get better, I will return to improve my proficiency by studying more advanced topics to get at the C2 level. This will gonna take time.

[@teacher.thiagoalencar]

That's great proactivity, Luciano! Your goal is also clear and well defined. Having this clarity of what to do to reach the next level is essential. Now it's all a matter of putting your head down and making it happen. Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to fluency I know that , thats the reason why everyday I got some hour in my busy day to consume content in English but the question is , when? What I have to do to become and get this achieve?

[@MPK2005]

Mr. Thiago, I have a question. I'm learner in Korea, who be all about English and learn passively with movie. First let me tell you my level, I know basic grammar and I can guess how to pronounce with stress and linking when I see words, but I don't have enough expriences that I listen English, so I don't know many expressions and words. I really wanna learn actively but I can't choose a clip in movie. So I'm planning just to watch and listen a lot to be familar with English sound first. May you give me suggestions? If I should learn actively for efficient improval, How would I choose a clip. Or there're others for learning actively?

[@SierraPMHNP]

I can understand what you're saying in Eng almost 100 percent perfectly...however when I am with native Eng speaker I can't understand what's the difference? 🤔

[@nadiar5225]

Hi. Let me give my opinion about it. If you pay attention in KZbin people have a excellent pronunciation, speak slowly and use a "neutral" language (using correctly English grammar without accent), however in the streets people use too much idioms, speak too fast and sometimes don't respect grammar and depend where they live is their accent. In my case when I listen this videos I'm paying all my attention in a relaxed way but it's not the same when I'm talking in live with someone... Usually I'm nervous trying to not miss anything and if I have to answer it's more complicated. Hugs from Argentina 🇦🇷🤗
