The English Learner Who Never Improved (and what you can learn from her)

[@Camenucete]

You make me believe there are really good English language teachers out there, I wish there were more like you! thank you for sharing!

[@alejandrinaestradaguzman7486]

This video is a treasure. Thank you so much.

I understand every word he says, I would wish people speaking in real life were so easy to understand like teacher Luke, I enjoyed listening to this engaging story about the student that never improved. Thanks a lot.

You speak very clear and smooth. When I listen your speaking, I feel that the words and sentences are choosen spesificly for improving listening and speaking skills. After listening to you, I repeat your sentences easy and feel that "Wow, I speak English natively :) I'm writing this comment because the actual learning requies using language 😊

Thanks for saying so, and I'm glad it helps.

Thanks for sharing this Attitude is the most important thing Measure progress plays role in devoliping .

[@fabsir2007]

You made a very good point when you said "which requires you to think differently, to behave differently". I also believe students who use translators do so because, a lot of the time, you have to experience the language to truly understand its meaning; just reading what certain phrases or words mean won't cut it.

Hey Luke, I got a question. I've been learning English for over a year, since I was 14. And I found people who started learning my native language (Portuguese), and they can speak exactly like someone who was born and raised in Brazil. It's crazy! Due to that, I started getting interested in improving my English skills to try to achieve the same results they had. Honestly, it's very DOPE! Anyway, I wanted to know if that is indeed possible, mostly in my age, or if they were probably lying. I'm 15 years old, and I've been doing shadowing a lot tho, because that's the main tip that everyone who speaks almost like a native gives on KZbin. If you can answer my question, Or maybe make a video about this topic, That'd be awesome, I'd appreciate that, Have a good one, sir 🙏

Well done

[@masayorimoto6499]

I am Japanese. Japanese English learners, like this Chinese woman, are also using the same approach, which is hindering their progress. Ultimately, language is a matter of habit. Since it’s spoken that way, you just need to memorize it as it is. Leave it to linguists to think about the reasons behind it.

Bingo

thank you for tips !!!! i see me in the story😂😂😂😂

More vids like that

[@mep6302]

As a non native English speaker who's studying to become an English teacher, this video exemplifies the struggles of non natives. In the beginning, you want your target language to be exactly like your native language but then you realize you have to express yourself kinda differently to be correct and sound natural in your target language. Using your example of the verb play, I'm going to use Spanish (my native language) to give a similar example. In English and Spanish you play boardgames, you play sports. But in English you also play an instrument or a video. In Spanish you say "tocar un instrumento" (literally: touch an instrument) and "reproducir un video" (literally: reproduce a video). If you're learning Spanish and you say "jugar un instrumento" or "jugar un video", the first sentence could be interpreted as "play with an instrument as a toy" and the second one doesn't make sense. That's why I totally hate anglicisms in Spanish because they sound unnatural or don't make sense at all.

Good example. One needs a new brain for each language.

I met Carol today😂

[@MHamza-b3z]

Your amazing teacher tell me how to talk to someone in english if there is no one to speak with?

[@sigolgui]

Hi Luke, I have a question about feeling stuck on my level. I think I’m upper B1 level. I do speak with ChatGPT, video English tutors and various members from speaking club. I live in Asia, but I try to have English conversations every day in online. At first, when I start a real conversation with my tutor, I felt a huge joy. It was magical moment that I could speak in English with other people. However, now I feel I get stuck on something big. I can share my thoughts and ask questions easily, but it’s difficult to share the details while I speaking. I feel that I have lots of weaknesses in my speech. To many ups and downs were here near me, but these day I feel that here are only downs. Is it natural to feel this stuck? I heard consistency is the key, so I try to read, listen and speak as possible I can. Is there any solution to pass through?

[@CloudEnglish]

My suggestion would be to ask yourself 2 questions: 1. What am I NOT doing now because it is scary, too difficult, or outside my comfort zone? 2. What am I doing now that isn't actually pushing me forward? You may answer these questions and have a list of challenges to move toward, as well as a list of things that you should have stopped doing a long time ago. But those lists will be different for each person, which is why I pose it as a question.
