He's not a teacher. He's a philosopher, a psychologist and a motivational speaker the same time. I've never heard anything about learning English (or language) like this. It's just too exciting to be existed. It's a masterpiece of explanation. A VERY BIG THANKS TO YOU, CHRISTIAN!

Me too I have been trying and learning English and struggling for 15 years but I can't speak yet 😢last words made me cry 😢

[@emilceassad3436]

I have been learning German for a while because I have heard Chistian when he said languages are for connecting people and I want to explore the german´s culture. So I decided to improve my English skills to learn German because my mother tongue is spanish. And it is easier to understand German with a previous knowledge of English than spanish.

[@Baban1974]

I feel that way from 10 years ago, I have been thinking that I'm completely stuck at intermediate level, and I read, write, hear, and speak in English all the time I can do with a family with two kids and 49 years, but I feel that it's not enough. Your words made me really releaved. Thanks

Brilliant words: "The only important measure of language ability is successful communication". Thank you Christian!

[@gerohazigabor]

Great motivational thoughts! Encouraging learners to USE their knowledge is the best thing a teacher can do. This way they will improve effortlessly. I have been a learner for forty years and still enjoy English classes. Using the language leads us to learn new vocabulary, grammar and improve communication skills. There will always be something to discover and grasp in this process. I could not agree more: Enjoy your English! 😃

[@محمدمحمودالطالب-ق8ه]

"Remember that the only important measure of language ability is successful communication." That's absolutely true!! This's your second video that I watched in a row. I'm happy that I came across this amazing channel.

[@transmathematica]

I am a native speaker of English. This is a motivational and technically excellent account of the intermediate language plateau. It helps me because I am in the intermediate plateau in Mandarin. Some native speakers know exactly what language learners are going through, because we are doing it too! Let’s share our experiences - in my case, in English or Mandarin.

[@Jarek58]

Christian, the best day of the week is always that one when there is a new lesson from YOU. You are the most inspiring English teacher in the world. After having watched a lesson like this, I am always so full of power to learn. Thank YOU so much for each and every of your lessons.

[@ЕленаКирильчук-и4ж]

[@kayakero1969]

Within human beings specie there are teachers, mechanics, engineers, musicians, electricians, etc., who add slangs, numbers, sub-numbers, notes, cables, pieces, completely unnecessary or of rare use, just to feel superior and create ghettos of wisdom. Fortunately there are people with a big heart and empathy who care about nurturing to others with basic, simple but elemental survival tools.So them can understand and interact with the surprises along the way. This man is a worthy example of the second ones. The generosity of his words and pronunciation is so clear tool that it can surely be understood and moved anywhere on the planet.Thanks Christian.🙏

[@miguelgagliano7373]

Hola Christian, tengo 65 años, casi siempre estudie inglés solo, y puedo entender casi todos tus videos. Te agradezco mucho tus palabras, muchas veces quiero abandonar. A veces miro tv y no entiendo o entiendo poco, y me agarra el sentirme frustrado, me cuesta ender un noticiero, y pienso soy yo. Y luego te escucho y me digo es una cuestión de expectativas y puedo comunicarme y el otro tendrá que hacer el esfuerzo de ayudarme a entender. Abrazo amigo

[@cesardiezsainz4866]

Un truco para entender cada vez mejor el inglés hablado es ponerte un Ted Talk al día con subtítulos. Trata de no mirar los subtítulos salvo que no puedas seguir el hilo del vídeo.

[@miguelgagliano7373]

​@@cesardiezsainz4866muchas gracias César

[@jkmugartza]

El problema es que en las comedias y en las películas utilizan el inglés coloquial de sus lugares de origen; no es el inglés que habla la gente cuando vas a cualquier país que no es de habla inglesa, que son la mayoría del mundo. Hoy en día la mayoría de la gente usamos el inglés como lengua franca y si nos viene un inglés nativo a hablar a su manera, no le vamos a entender aunque estudiemos inglés toda la vida. La única manera que hay de aprender la forma de hablar de un país es ir a ese país a vivir durante un largo tiempo... y no tiene sentido, porque lo que queremos es comunicar con la gente del mundo, no con la gente de un solo país, o de una sola ciudad. Mi consejo es que sigas las indicaciones de este gran profesor que es Mr. Christian. Sigue a tu paso y no te preocupes demasiado con que sabes poco. Sabemos más que el que no sabe nada. Y sabemos más lenguas que muchos anglófonos que no saben más que una sola.

[@miguelgagliano7373]

@@jkmugartza muchas gracias por tus palabras, son apreciadas.

[@OscarGarcia-xl1ze]

I started to watch your videos a month ago and I'm very glad to have found your channel, every video is a masterclass about language, learning, life, and motivation. I'm in that Plateau right now, but this makes me remember that it is not bad to be there, and that my efforts always will be worth it as long as I can enjoy and discover the world from my second language :). Thank you Christian, I'll continue doing my best.

Cristian, I was learning English with your channel four years ago. Then, I stopped doing this, and now I have started to continue learning. You have grown a lot in these four years. I want to say that your way of teaching and describing language is very original. I cannot remember someone who is able to do it like this. Thank you for your creation

[@kinsangng5320]

What a great teacher! The video was extremely motivational, inspiring me to start using English for communication immediately. I have never seen a teacher appreciate his students’ shortcomings as much as in this video.

[@saifalarabi4491]

I entered to watch this video because I noticed this phenomenon with all 4 languages I can speak including my mother language. But I didn't notice only with just vocabulary, I noticed this with progression in eloquence. Your video is useful, but I think that best way to continue progressing is to interact with a language by art and literature by reading more of these, and by increasing the philosophical understanding of these, and by having your own style and to be able to criticise yourself without bias.

[@juanenmanuelmorelcastellan4487]

Woooow Thank You so Much For your help Mr. I'm a native spanish speaker who is trying to get out of that zone that you were talking about. and I have to say: the way that you use to teach people it is just amazing. and it is not needed to speak about how you speak really clean and in way that people can understand what you want to mean. I could Understand the 95% about what you where talking. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much for this amazing explanation. This is my situation and I feel frustated for years.

[@tecdesigns_arq]

Yeap! Hi dear Christian! What i learnt all these journey is, each moment you have to express your comunication and finely you are well undertood, you achived the goes! What we hatta do is keeping walking in your fluency journey and when you nor expect, you got another highter platoe! My experience of 6 years is: Patience and dedication minxing every thing in repetitions because if you pay attention in your own language, you're fluent because sucessive repetitions too, innit? God bless you guys!

why am i crying at last minutes :) i really appreciate for this gift. i realized that i expected myself too much. after this video, i have so much confident and not afraid of doing mistake. maybe it is the first time that i didnt use to open translate programs and write with feel free. doing mistake is normal, i'm just on my way and at this plateau i can still improve. even if i realize i will stuck there for a long time, i will keep try to learn new skills about english. no need anymore to think like at wild for me. just focus on my little steps from now on.

Thank you, Christian! I should say that I have decided to revise English words and rules myself, and I feel more confident after your speach😊 I like philosophy and once I read the following words: “You cannot say a word that will help you to yourself.” (5th century BC) So your words help a lot of people here in 2024 (:

[@jkmugartza]

I agree 100% with you. I always say to my friends that we are learning english to speak with the people all over the world, when we go on hollidays or we must go to one meeting abroud our borders, and not always to speak with a english native man or woman exiting of the tube. It's nice to speak with native people, but is very difficult to meet english people in Greece, or in Italy. So, is better to improve our english in order to communicate with people all over the world, and no only with people living in Ireland, Australia, Canada and so on. I was working in an hotel in London when I was young, and now, when decades are passed, I have the feeling that I have been all my life in the Intermediate Plateau. I've loved very much your speech. You are a very good teacher, and, like I've read in an another message, a very good Philosopher, or Phychologist. Thank you very-very much !!

[@imdanielh]

Your thoughts at the end of the video gave me motivation, I appreciate it!

[@LearnEnglishwithNetflix]

Super useful video about setting expectations. Makes sense that my vocabulary increased dramatically in college when I started reading several hours a day and listening to hours of lectures on the materials using those specific vocabulary words found in the materials I had read. I tell adult students aiming for the top of the pyramid in English learning that doing a degree in some subject, with it being taught only in English, should get you to the treasured C1/C2 level, though if you have self discipline you could just read a lot, take notes and discuss your readings with an online tutor. Then afterwards come up with a thesis statement based on your discussion and write an essay on it for your tutor to review. Very few people are willing to do this in my experience though. Most students just want to get to a level where they are understood and not stressed when they speak English.
