[@ДмитрийЕвстратов-э3м]

So happy to see a new video from you, Christian! In many places of study around the world, the English learning process has been turned into a conveyor belt. Your ability to breathe life into English as a subject through your underlying curiosity is phenomenal! You are truly an inspirational teacher, and thank you for your work throughout all these years!

[@darthbinks5987]

In 2018 I couldn't use English despite all the time spent studying at school, so I challenged myself to actually learn to some extent. At the beginning of that I stumbled upon this channel, so I started watching it. For the first year I could only understand the author, but was struggling to understand other content in English. Over the course of time I began to understand more and more. As of today I can say that learning is still in progress, but results are quite fullfiling. I've read several books, watched loads of movies, listened to great podcasts, met new people and much more. There's always space for progress, but I can consider my challenge completed, since I'm able to actually understand people and they also understand me. I wanted to thank you for videos you're making, especially that one where you compared learning to climbing a mountain which helped me a lot and I'm sure it helped many others too.❤

[@darekk8898]

Oh my God, how beautiful it is that we can meet someone wonderful who understands language and communication. And he is a great teacher! Yours faithfully :)

[@elcalvo46]

It was an excellent speech, Christian!! I agree. Language mus be the most democratic system. Although we have to maintain the grammar rules of each language, we can express in our style and accent.

[@Дмитрий-ы4ц4д]

Thank you, Christian! Glad to hear you again. Don't forget about us - your listeners!

[@luisbuabud9852]

What a pleasure Cristian to see your videos again. It's a shame that I can't pay for your classes, but what I can see for free I see everything and it's very useful to me. Thank you.

[@Learnwithkhadija96]

😢😅😅

[@sgomesemilio]

I read quickly the title... So I watched the video thinking that I would learn English in 10 min LOL

[@jeronimocarrizo5855]

Thank you so much Christian! I love your videos, your passion, your wisdom! thank you for all!

[@CalangoBit]

Oh! This guy is changing my mindset! Thank you very much!

[@irina-s]

I'm happy to see your new video! Inspiring, motivating and very useful as always!

[@ovidiumoldovan6510]

Welcome back, Christian! I haven't seen you for a while. Like always, very inspirational.

[@ventaalpublico]

Hi Cristian, I am Cristian too. from Buenos Aires. how nice video 🖒

[@erzsebetbekes7073]

Hammering home the importance of communication and creativity in language use. A true inspiration to not get bogged down and worry too much about standard English and standard grammar. Go beyond that level and make your English your own :-).

[@shaqalecabdikariim9233]

Welcome back teacher your pronunciation is absolutely amazing

[@Jean-LouisMorgenthaler]

Happy to see you and hear you again. I started missing your off-the-wall humour and your interesting views about teaching and learning. Welcome back, Christian.

[@pauloranulfo3220]

Since 2016, when I started to learn English, (I'm 67, Brazil)Teacher Christian is the best. It was easy to understand what he said, without subtitles or translation!! Thank you very much Teacher Christian!!😊

[@Learnwithkhadija96]

🎉

[@blindbrazilianjustice]

He´s a great professor; I`ve been learning English a lot with him.

[@tseamrog]

In addition to being informative, its content is philosophical and poetic. Best channel ever on KZbin

[@MyFluentPodcast]

Yeah it is great indeed. Unfortunately, Christian has other projects as well so that we get fewer content to watch. Cheers, Daniel.

[@thaynaravasio4205]

Im so glad for this video! One of the best that I've seen this year. Thank you very much Cristhian

[@claudiapereira762]

I'm so glad to see you here again. 😊

[@temaciniamine3031]

A VERY REMARCABLE POINT OF VIEW..I RESPECT....

[@Learnwithkhadija96]

😢😢

[@vanessadimarco158]

Amazing. Captivating video. Thank you very much

[@alekszejivlev7390]

That was great. You are inspiring me to continue studying and not only English, multiple languages, because I agree with you: Your language mastery may be far from standards, but if you able to communicate, it justifies everything. Thank you!

[@sergiyshklyar2573]

I noticed that _Standard language_ has different definitions. Thus, I conclude, the term _Standard language_ is ambiguous. 1. In education, the Standard language is a variety (or set of varieties) of the language taught and tested at school. The definition of Standard English in the _National Curriculum in England:_ "Standard English can be recognised by the use of a very small range of forms such as _those books,_ _I did it_ and _I wasn’t doing anything_ (rather than their non-standard equivalents); it is not limited to any particular accent. It is the variety of English which is used, with only minor variation, as a major world language. Some people use Standard English all the time, in all situations from the most casual to the most formal, so it covers most registers. The aim of the national curriculum is that everyone should be able to use Standard English as needed in writing and in relatively formal speaking." 2. Sometimes the standard language is a reference variety of the language other varieties are compared with. Learners' English can be compared with one of native speakers, a heritage language or an overseas language can be compared against the mainland's language, and dialects can be compared with the mainstream form of the language. 3. In sociolinguistics, "Standard language variety has prestige and a more elevated position in society than other varieties" ( _Introduction to Sociolinguistics_ MOOC developed by the University of York). However, linguists reiterate: "All varieties of the language are valuable." Examples of nonstandard English: 1. In books, words are occasionally misspelled to mock the speaker's pronunciation. You can find deliberate misspellings / nonstandard spelling in _Little Lord Fauntleroy_ and _Pollyanna._ 2. _Plain speaking_ was (and is) used by some Quakers. You can find instances of "thee is" and "thee sees" in the direct speech in _The Bulwark_ by Theodore Dreiser. 3. "Him and us ate pizza."

[@josefalcao2403]

I couldn't agree more!! The main goal is communication! Nothing more. "... Express yourself using the words, and sounds that represent your life experiences...". Perfect.

[@abraaonevesdossantos8838]

wow my gosh! he's so incredible, so much passion for teaching. I could see the emotion shining in his eyes. I've simply loved this video and that teacher. Thank you, Christian. you've really inspired us to improve our skills and to get a better mood in English conversations. God bless you!

[@kurianmx6646]

Glad to see you again. Thanks a lot for the splendid lesson. I cannot wait for another video. Cheers ❤

[@abdulhafizbozdag2988]

Thank you so much. You are the only teacher i can watch and understand without subtitle..

[@MyFluentPodcast]

Hi Christian. It's great that you are "back". The way you make your videos is amazing. We can feel how much you love making these videos. By the way, I still hope that you will continue with the podcast as well (the last interview was with Erik Singer) Cheers, Daniel.

[@Learnwithkhadija96]

😢😮

[@uygungaipov6571]

The last sentence of 10-min speech was really motivated me - "democracy of the language". That was great. Thanks, Christian.

[@yurirodriguez5456]

This video has been the one I've enjoyed the most. Fascinating. I'm a Venezuelan who has struggled over years to learn at least a "standard" English. I'm very grateful for your teaching

[@AnastasiaTiguntseva]

I am happy that you are here again! Thank you for the video❤

[@andrevadyaskin164]

I think that a language reflects life and so likewise as life it does not need to be standard. 😊 Hello from Russia.

[@kav205]

Язык формирует мышление. Прокрустово ложе.

[@victorvargas8504]

Hi there, I'm glad to see you again Mr. Christian 😃😃😃

[@mohamedjamili8319]

The best lesson in the philosophy of language in a simple and profound style. How wonderful you are

[@wongsimon2387]

For me, your channel is about not only a language, but also an attitude. Great! Thank you.

[@beatriznascimento1954]

About a week ago I was searching for your videos and noticed that It has passed a long time without upgrade... Today you came back, good news!!!

[@benjaming4854]

I have been totally fascinated with your video when you did finish your 10 min video. Incredible conclusion. It's looks like more like motivational speech then a simple learning language. Your teaching and reality of language is fantastic. Thank you Christian.

[@gulmirasalim7249]

You're absolutely right. This is exactly what I tell my students over and over again: the most important thing is successful communication. Thank you for this video. I'll definitely spread the word.

[@harinadhbabu309]

Thanks Christian, The summary of this video is ‘Successful communication is key rather than accent’😊

[@WatchingDicas]

This guy is fantastic. I like to hear him too. I hear him for some years on this platforn.

[@patriziasignorelli3438]

Welcome back!!!

[@david41945]

From an American to an Aussie, I have a crush on your accent 😀

[@griseldabarros3551]

Hello Christian... your reflection is amazing! ! I totally agree with you. You make me feel motivated and with the energy to keep on learning this beatiful language that I love. I´m from Argentine. And I´m glad to have the possibility to watch this kind of videos with such interesting reflections. Thank you.

[@ggit626]

Thank You. I used to dislike English before because it was difficult for me to get rid of my accent which I was embarrassed about, but now I love this language, I love learning it, speaking it, reading and watching videos in it, especially Yours.

[@iundunov]

Even now after 5 times of watching I can't believe that it is just a language video.Your manner of telling is breathtaking, and every promo video full of inspiration and motivation🥰 Christian you should be a politician or diplomacy😇

[@ikramHabbasi]

Welcome back, Christian, after disappearing for centuries from KZbin. It's great to hear from you again.

[@gilbertomascarin9402]

I’m brasilian. I can understand everything you say even when I couldn’t know the meaning of some word. 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@leiberjesusposliguadelacru1616]

Your accent will always reflect your authentity! I DID LOVE IT

[@gabrieljordasoler3298]

I am so happy to see your video. You have amanzing pronunciation .

[@user-SatChitAnanda]

Thank you, Christian! Great idea! Even wars can start over language conflicts. If the authorities start controlling the language.

[@josebenito15]

Long time ago without seeing a Video from you but I'm really happy to see this one and learning from it. I believe my English listening skills are, more or less, in good shape 'couse I keep on listening English everyday, as a daily routine and never as "homework". Thanks for your dedication and keep on posting more Videos 👍

[@rafissonemanuelmacilaho638]

I have no comments about this video, it's very useful for everyone and it open our mindset in terms of understand what really means standard English for a Single Man. Thanks a lot Teacher Christian. I will see you in class😇

[@thechatbox18]

Hey Christian! 👋 What a great piece of advice we've got here. Your consistent empowerment is a tremendous source of inspiration.

[@scorpio8684]

Oh!I havn't seen you for a very long time(for ages)😃

[@elbekind17]

Thank you so much, Christian! This video and your words are so encouraging to not have to be perfect. As you say, communication is everything👍

[@kostaskarouzakis4276]

The way you talk,Christian,is already the best lesson for English learners!!!Your videos encourage us to continue learning the English language with more efforts.Great job !!!Many thanks.Greetings from Greece

[@sasansafari841]

I’ve been learning English for about 5 years. I have taken the PTE academic exam found by Pearson. I profoundly believe that some organizations such as Pearson unintentionally or consciously adds fuel to the fire, which culminates in making English even much more convoluted to be understandable. The sole responsibility of organizations and universities is to pave the way for all learners. Finally, having said that the aim of learning a language is to have a connection.

[@Mahan-y-50]

Welcome! Long time no see my teacher. Nice to see you again.

[@jolantapazderska3340]

Hi teacher, nice to see you again. Thank you...

[@anneyenglishautodidact8456]

[@Nora_543]

I really like the way you explain and analyse the language. Thank you 🙏

[@alexmartin6381]

After watching each video on this channel i think why I didn't find this earlier love and respect from New Delhi India

[@alexzambrano8441]

I felt stuck and unhappy with my English before Yesterday I discovered your channel and I have only watched two videos, you have inspired me to continue learning. Thank you very much!

[@englishcakewalk8332]

Love the phrase... 'the democracy of language' !

[@Facturando_Colombia]

[@dali.salvador]

Great video. I am Brazilian. Unfortunately, we still have linguistic prejudice. We are fighting against it.

[@The..Challenger]

I've seen your video today and I love you style of recording, because it is very helpful for me (person, who still try learn this language). You have been sharing with us many tips about how to learn english and improve our learning skills. Thanks a lot.

[@nwjnshyein]

your english is so good to listening and understand, thank you very much for this video!!!

[@giampaolo5356]

It's always a great pleasure see you again, Christian! I'm gonna take this opportunity to ask you something about the English language development in the elizabethan period: ... are you a Stratfordian or an Oxfordian? And what do you think about the possibility that the great anglo-italian humanist JOHN FLORIO was the real (or almost prevalent) author of Shakespeare's works? Thank you!

[@giampaolo5356]

*at least (instead of almost) ... ... ... As you can see, Christian, since you've disappeared from YT, my motivation in the English practice has continuously decreased, so ...!

[@rezanoormohammadi6914]

After 7 months, finally I see a new video of you. So happy❤

[@elenalipatova6785]

you still live in Spain now? I’m glad to finally have a new video, not because it’s new and I know everything, but because you’re back, I really like your treatment and understanding

[@lipurwidhinugroho801]

One more time,thank you, I do appreciate what you have said in the video.

[@babykarishma4685]

I am impressed with your teaching way❤

[@rosemaryaraujo9133]

Definitely, you said everything teacher. I love to learn English but the grammar is tough, but I like it anyway. Can you make a video using the numbers? During reading, I have difficulty with the use. When we speak Telefone number, age, address, years, and so on. Thanks for this channel on KZbin. 🤝👊👍

[@raulfarina4818]

Good point Christian. The same thing happens when a person says I want a native teacher, this person ignores that a native of London speaks differently than one who was born in Scotland or Ireland, Australia or...

[@raulfarina4818]

I clarify that I understand what the person means when they say that, but maybe it would be a good video on this topic.

[@a.gokhanadyaman3325]

Great video and explanation what you have wanted to point out.sir your perspective is great to encourage people who wants to learn foreign language but scared of trying actually not just for beginners,learners at all levels
