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!

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.🙏

[@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! 😃

[@waheedwaheed7]

Mr Christian, your approach is amazing.

[@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.

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

[@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.

The Measure of your English lies withing yourself. Intermediate is just a label, nothing more than that. We better not pay too much attention to it and enjoy the process. Always Cangaroo Academy. Miss you family

[@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.

[@VladimirShatalov]

It is a great and inspiring lecture! "It's OK to be intermediate, it's enough..." - thank you sir, I've been suffering with it so many years 🙂

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!

[@AIRocks-xm4lr]

Yesterday, I almost cried as my company assessed my language and said that my pronounication and grammar is not up to the mark. I learn everyday but I have anxity communicating with foriegners and that's fine. I dream to achieve more, connect with the global world, so I am happy, encouraged and elightened by your inspiring words. Thank you Chritian I am enough and I am trying hard to learn, earn and even use the language being a second language learner.

[@EsterHorbach-it9tb]

I was taught English at school, for 6 years, but only 45 minutes a week and by a non native speaker. Academically I was on top: an A. But it was purely formal English. And I think with using an expression like " up to be mark" I would have been better then my teacher. So, 😊without knowing you: you're doing great. Go on and don't feel disencouraged. Greetings from Germany.

[@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 !!

[@intermilan81]

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.

[@user-bj5gr8ug9s]

[@FastEnglishLessons]

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.
