If you're learning English and you want to see quick results and see real progress, these are the five biggest mistakes that you need to avoid. You will not improve your English if you keep making these mistakes.
The biggest problem that people make is that they just do a little bit here and a little bit there. It's too sporadic and it needs to be little and often. Daily if possible. Think about it. I mean, learning English is like an exercise for the brain. Are you going to get fit if you just run once a week? Not much. But if you do a little bit of running every day, you're going to get much fitter. So create the habit of doing a little bit of English for ten or 15 minutes every day, whether that be listening, speaking, reading, writing, studying. Just connect with English for a little bit every day, and then when you need it, it will come more naturally to you.
If your level of English listening comprehension needs improvement, what's the point sitting and suffering through a 2 hour movie that you maybe understand 30% of? This is not going to help you improve. Instead, you should focus on specific pronunciation techniques that native speakers use that will actually help you to understand native speakers speaking quickly.
It's also much more beneficial to listen to a short video 3 times rather than a 2 hour video once. If you listen to a short video or a short audio 3 times, you can focus on the same speech 3 different times and you will start to understand more and more each time you listen to it. And this will help your listening skills and it'll be much more fun than sitting and suffering during a movie that you don't really know what is happening in.
Okay, so you learn the word decide in English. Great. Maybe even it resembles the word in your language. Fantastic. You feel good about yourself. You've learned a new word in English, but when you come to use that word, you use it badly because you didn't learn it in context and you don't know how to use it grammatically correctly within a sentence.
Listen, learning individual words in English is a really ineffective way of learning because you learn the word, you probably use it badly, and then you have to relearn the grammar of that word. Like with decide. Does it decide to do something? Decide doing something? Decide do something? Who knows? You have to learn the new verbs and vocabulary in context so that it will be easier to use it correctly in the future.
IPA the International Phonetic Alphabet. If you're not learning this already, do it now. It's the key to knowing how every word in English is pronounced. And that means that when you learn a new word in English, you can easily look at the online dictionary, see the phonetic transcription, and know exactly how it's pronounced.
And you see spoken English is a group of sounds together, not a group of letters. If you want to write, then yeah, you need to learn the letters. But if you want to speak, you need to learn the sounds. That's the problem that students have. But if you focus on the sounds, it will make it much clearer in your head the fact that all these words have the same vowel sound in the middle.
Circus. Heard. Thursday. Perfect. Word. Journey. They all have that /ɜ/ sound in the middle. But look how they're spelt, all differently.

[@GarutaTech]

Hi Greg! Thank you so much for your videos. It has been very helpful for me since I started watching your videos. One thing I have learned is that learning English as a second language is a commitment no matter how long it would be. My problem is that I want to learn a lot and that put too much stress for my brain to cope with. Well, I hope this make sense. Anyway, I am going to start applying all your techniques to how to learn English properly and more efficient. Again, thank you!

My Englisch is not good but i have understand 60 % from you short Video i will give you a follow to lesen more Englisch for my life in the future thanks buddy

[@user-lx4ox9yx2i]

Thanks for your daily quick fix. I find it crucially important to meet Foreign English speakers and speak English. When you are surrounded only by your relatives, friends and coworkers you cannot practice your English. Yesterday when I was coming back from the city, I ran into Pakistan students on the bus. Without any further ado, I started striking up conversation and it went all smoothly. We only spoke English and I came to conclusion that the more we meet, the better we get. I am planning to see them again and start using English actively. I love speaking English in public. I appreciate your tips. Thumbs up! Cheers!

[@EnglishWithGreg]

Thanks a lot, Фирдавс! 😀

Thanks guy's

[@SachinRathod-ls8eb]

Hi Greg ! I get confused alot between simple past and present perfect tense while asking questions. Is it 'Have a locked the door ?' or 'Did I lock the door ?', is it 'Have you bought a pen ?' or 'Did you buy a pen ?'. Could you please make a video on that ? Edit : You've already made a video on this 🙌 Thanks !

[@ahmedabdualkarim6241]

You're the best 👌

[@hosseinrastegarpoor7867]

You are excellente teachr

[@sergeibabenko6230]

If everyone in Britain was talking as you do I would say I understand English perfectly. :) But unfortunately I don't... Being in London last year I couldn't get a single word people were talking. 😢

[@woqunidaye]

lol…but reality is often hurts so much😂😢😢the pronunciation of English is more difficult than Chinese

[@berenice-6003]

Greg you are so right!!!!😪😪😪

[@clumsy_weirdo]

I've thought it already is, but actually not. Where is?) I wait) Thanks for content! Gimme more)

[@siddiqkhan2574]

Immigrants in USA listen sometimes phrases likewise “ for a while “ .etc. Will you please explain some more phrases which are in used in spoken English. I watched your video first time and solved my English listening problems. Thanks.

[@tom.swellow]

hey, sir, appreciate your work, but I have one pretty important question which I wanted to ask you. Can you say me how to stop being confused every time I encounter grammar rules in a sentence, I mean when I encounter this I just start compressing every time and need to fix it. Can you assist me, please 🙏

[@MENNA-sb7iq]

Can you explain the difference between (seem to, be meant to, supposed to), please🥺🥺

[@curiosityanglo]

Sir can you convert it into passive form? He chose it over me.

[@ivan4486]

Thank you for the video! I have a question. What is the point in learning that phonetical alphabet when every dictionary provides audio nowadays, why waste time on that relic?

[@hajiskablan5294]

Mr Greg, I like you🖤 💯

[@rakeshvelpula6804]

👍 useful

[@freefalcon3359]

While during watching your videos, I use translation into my original language. Do you recommend that or not, because honestly, without translation, I cannot understand everything you say and I want to learn more quickly ,During watching the 9-minute clip it takes me to 25 minutes, because I listen again to some words that I do not understand. So I use the translation feature to understand well. With all respectful & regards 🌺🌺🤗

[@RicardoLopez-pj1yn]

Just enjoy the journey !!! That's It.

[@EnglishWithGreg]

Absolutely. It’s to be enjoyed!

[@ricardooliveiradeaquino9477]

Hello Greg.. very nice ,, you are great. As lover of foreing languages ,, I give you a sugestion that helps a lot in learning,, introduce the SUBTITLE. You presents only áudio…

[@marcinstrumentssa]

How can I be your student, or get your English course?

[@ericallinone7840]

English is a fantastic language, very pleasant, simpler than French for example, but difficult to pronounce

[@MartinMelikyan]

I disagree with you about movie, I improved my listening because I'm not just watching movies a parse it in every piece, and then i switch speed level to 1.25 and after to 0.5 and it really helped me i really can understand, because I'm in focus, I every day in listening and in focus, so i disagree with you a bit, but also agree with pronunciation and other things you've said

[@user-ox1dw8jw5u]

Hi, i ve just found your channel and it is very intresting. I want to join the course, but i dont make online payments with my card directly. Is there any other way to pay? (like paypal). If i do join, can i cancel my subscription at any time? Thanks

Hi 👋🏻 You can cancel at any time, and the only method of payment is via debit / credit card.

[@oleksiy_reva]

Nice hat. I like it )

[@qweerval]

Greg, is your english common or you talk simplistically for us? (love your work)

[@cavesalamander6308]

AFAIUI all teachers use simplified pronunciation without contractions, slang, and many phrasal verbs. When I read English frequency dictionary I start to see several unknown words only after ~15 000 words. But I don't understand movies, songs, etc. Understanding of academic lectures is much better (who knows why). 🙂

[@EnglishWithGreg]

Hi Diana. I always try to speak as clearly as possible when I'm speaking in public, and this is especially true when my main audience is using English as a Second Language. 😀

[@KraterStromboli]

​@@cavesalamander6308 Для того, чтобы болтать по-английски, как учит Грэг, достаточно 300 слов.

[@cavesalamander6308]

@@KraterStromboli "Болтать" (ни о чем) - да. Говорить (содержательно) - нет. В моем случае основное препятствие - отсутствие практики и ежедневной необходимости именно говорить и слушать. В реальной языковой среде я бы начал "болтать" через неделю-другую.

[@KraterStromboli]

@@cavesalamander6308 А "содержательно" говорить скороговоркой, невнятно, сжимая и недоговаривая? Все эти "гона", "вана" и другие лигатуры... В содержательном разговоре спешить некуда. А с активным словарным запасом в 10000 слов Вы уделаете любого такого "Грэга". Обычные "носители" языка имеют в активе не более 1000-1500 слов ("уличная" ситуация - 300). Посмотрите фильм "My Fair Lady" (1964). Там все это интереснее, чем у Грэга.

I haven't had any practice in ENG for over 5 years. Now i'm in Canada and i understand 80% of everything: conversations, films etc.. But my vocabulary is bullsh*t and that's annoying that I can only listen and not talking correctly...Ha...

Depends on whether the movies you wanna watch contain dialogue.🙈 Don't get me wrong, you don't need to understand the language to see a Silvester Stallone movie. I subscribe to your page and there is also a like.
