Thank you for this chat, it was a pleasure to meet you again :D

[@yassineal4610]

Thank you so much dear. I am so glad for to learn English. In fact my dream is speaking the real English like you. God bless you my teacher, with a lot of wishes.

[@LucaLampariello]

Great stuff Steve and Piotr! I have been listening to Piotr's content for years now and it has made a huge difference when it comes to improving my Polish. I recommend it to all my students who want to learn Polish. Both of you keep producing top-notch stuff and inspiring language learners around the world! L

Oh, cześć Luca! You're right; Piotr's podcast is the real deal. Probably the best resource for Polish I've found!

Brawo Steve! Twój Polski jest coraz lepszy :)

[@damien5688]

Cieszę się, że widzę rozmowę między Steve'em a Piotrem. Wysłuchałem wielu Twoich podcastów po polsku Piotr.

[@gttagttc6752]

Z powodu podkastów Piotra teraz jestem w stanie rozumieć podkasty po polsku na youtubie i czytać książki po Polsku. I recommend his site and method. His Podcast combined with linqg helped me a lot to understand spoken Polish language. Piotrze, kiedy kiedyś chzesz nauczyć się niemieckiego szukając partnera językowego - jestem gotowy!

[@joshuakruel2943]

Great interview! You guys get it. Thanks!

[@paulwalther5237]

I like hearing the point of view of someone who started learning a language in their 40's (I'm in my 40's too). His English is very easy to understand, I hope my languages sound this good too. Repetition is key and you get it by reading once you're able to read. My Japanese teacher understood the power of review and every class the first 15 minutes or so we did review activities. He's the only language teacher I've had who deliberately did review every class. I was lucky. Learning languages is very hard which makes teaching it difficult. A lot of teachers don't really believe in what they do I think and that's why self learning or self studying is such a great option for language students.

[@gabyhurtado4189]

Great interview!! Thanks!!!

[@agnieszkajanicka8883]

look at you conjugating all the words properly! What a great job you've done 🔥

[@simenrudsengen2370]

Thanks for the content, both on lingq and real polish! Having had the language learning experience in school and university, I greatly appreciate the mini-stories approach. I find reading the short stories with changing viewpoints and time, to be very very useful. I have spent a lot of time trying to force memorize grammar from a table, but being able to "experience" grammar changing in context is invaluable. Thanks for all the good advice and inspiration

[@TracyR4]

This video came at a great time. I've been learning Polish so I could speak Polish with my father. Unfortunately, as a child he never taught my sisters and I how to speak Polish( he was 1st generation Pole born in the United States so he spoke both Polish and English) . Now he is older, many of his family is gone and he says he's forgetting how to speak in Polish. Unfortunately there isn't enough Polish speakers left where we live so it's hard to maintain the language. I'd love to have a conversation with him. I'll admit that I'm still in the beginning of this journey of learning Polish and I'm taking in all that I can, whether if it's with Duolingo, with Ling Q , reading books, listening to videos learning about Poland or Polish language in general. I've even found some Polish tv and if they have captions to look up and listen to words I don't know. Videos like this though encourage me to keep going on , even though I still have a way to go.

[@David-uy8ot]

Nice story, that's a wonderful motivation. Happy learning!

[@igoriks2769]

Hey I first time heard about Steve in when Aj Hoge speak about him, he said that Steve likes reading and listening, Aj Hoge teached me to make repetition with a new distinction.

[@stevencarr4002]

I can recommend Real Polish stories for beginners like me. They are very good.

[@mesfromusa]

I agree with the criticism of the boring nature of beginning readers designed to teach someone a language, but those are different from authentic children's books, those written by native speakers to appeal to children growing up with their language. When learning Italian as a beginner, years ago, I sought out children's books as a way into the language, and I was excited to understand them. The same with my recent engagement with Yiddish. I just wish it were easier to get ahold of these things when studying a language.

Steve, this person is an American English teacher in Thailand and has learned Thai to a native level according to actual natives. How about an interview with him for the viewers here currently learning or thinking of learning Thai? The advice of someone who has been in the same boat as learners about how he has learned the language will be tremendously useful. Sure you don't speak Thai, but it's the same case for lots of languages, and every single person on the channel so far happens to speak a language you know. How about doing something new by interviewing someone who speaks a language you don't? Especially one who has learned it to a fluent, native level, and sharing advice for the sake of viewers wanting to learn Thai, because if you paid attention to recent comments, quite a few people here want to learn it. If you really care about the audience, and if you really intend this channel for language learners, then do those people a favor instead of letting your ego stand in the way just because you don't know a language and someone else learned it to a native level. He earned his way to fluency, and the advice potential learners receive will certainly be valuable. And who knows, this experience may provide the motivation to try learning a bit of Thai. kzbin.infovideos

[@agata3317]

Hi! I think listening to stories in Polish may be helpful, but it can give you only passive knowledge of the language. A good Polish teacher must be able to explain which word form you need to use and, above all, why this one? If you do not know the basic rules of using words, it is difficult to create even a simple sentence...

[@mazzystariover]

I speak Polish but I cannot write and read it which is disappointing

[@legendaryubagel2383]

Is that because you were brought up speaking with parents?
