Want to Speak Fluently? Stop Doing These 2 Things

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

In my opinion, the information in this video is really important. However, I also feel like if you can understand what I'm saying, you're probably already beyond the stage of translating in your head, so maybe it was a pointless video? Feel free to let me know what you think.

[@Sapito-nd4df]

The information is what we need to know to improve our English. You're the best, Mike. ❤

[@thuthanh8340]

Your advices are very important to speak language well. When i start to learn English i try to understand everything i heard and read. But then, i realize that i don't need to understand every word. Just be me at that time. Live every day fully in the present. I don't know English well, i can't speak English fluently, i can't read every word, i don't know grammar, etc... But it's ok. I will learn a little and improve a little every day. Never give up❤❤. Thank you Teacher. You're giving me good lessons day by day. Now i'm not caring to much about grammar or mistake when i write this comment. So it can have many mistakes.

[@FaridehGhaffari-y4v]

Thanks teacher

[@GlauciaCortez]

So wise, but not everybody speaks crystal clear as you do!

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Keep practicing listening.😀

[@rhea3234]

Very interesting. Your explanation about this topic is as clear as day. It's worth pondering over. Thank you for another valuable lesson. ❤😊🙏

[@oracularspectacular890]

Than you Teacher Mike English. I agree ❤❤

[@evelynquinonez1667]

Best advice. Best teacher. Thanks a lot, Mike, for everything.😊😊😁

[@manihoma4050]

You said very useful point for our spiking as always. Thank you so much Mike.❤️

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

You're welcome!

[@LuuLy-cu1or]

In fact, I don't translate in my mind anymore; I just speak to the person in the mirror, as always! Your advice is very precious, Mike. Thank you so much.

[@giseleewango3048]

I like your way of your teaching . You speak clear.

[@LuuLy-cu1or]

Thank you so much for your helpful advice. What you said was very clear, Mike.

[@سمرمحرز]

Hi my teacher Mike, Im Samar thanks for your useful information. we give us the trust to continue even though we dont know every transalation. for every word

[@SeinyBegawar]

You're right. I also think that translation stops language learners from speaking fluently as I used to do with English. At the present, I have stopped doing translation in my head, but the challenge is still listening to native speakers and remembering vocabulary.

[@shaimaa247]

When I hear your speaking I feel comfortable 😌 😊

[@damarisperez5753]

Yes it's a useful video. But when I'm listening or reading something and I hear some word I don't understand, I feel actually blocked. So I'm going to try to follow your advice. Thank you so much teacher Mike.

[@sunantafongkaew2805]

Thank you for letting me know the edeum "to be by oneself" which I haven't known before, Mike!! 🙂❤️🙏

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Thank you! 😃

[@Cristino109w8]

Just started watching teacher mike after a while of taking break from learning English the only teacher who posted everything about English thanks teacher Mike hope one day we all see how do you speak in daily life .

[@evelynquinonez1667]

This lesson is super useful and encouraging because we see that making grammar mistakes is not a bad thing and is Ok to do that sometimes when speaking English. I think learning new vocabulary helps us express ourselves better. 😊😁

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Yes! Learning new vocabulary is definitely useful! I did not intend to say that it is not!😁

[@evelynquinonez1667]

You didn't it, Mike.😁😁😁

[@menaimohammed4678]

[@ภาพฝันครุฑสุวรรณ]

Thank you, teacher Mike. I like your voice.I can watch and read English language on my phone.Teacher make it up that I think it well.

[@محبوبهاسدیان]

Thankyou teacher Mike . I always repet more Grammars every day and practice them , my pronounce was bad , i slove this problem by read my book and listening to podcasts . This problem is still fifty and fifty , the worst problem is for forget before words that read them . I must have schedule for repeat them . 🤔🤔

[@evelynquinonez1667]

I don't translate in my head while having a conversation with my friends. I just speak what comes to my mind. 😊

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Excellent.✅

[@evelynquinonez1667]

😊😊😁

[@maratselihov8371]

thank you very much indeed

[@JessicaWong-vw8ts]

To me, the words and phrases are automatically come out during the conversation. As English is different from my first language, it is hard to translate it over the conversation. For grammar mistakes over the conversation, I agree not to worry too much. If you worry too much, you will not have confidence to go on. Thanks for the lesson, Teacher Mike.😊

[@clementbaeyens2610]

Merci!

[@rhea3234]

It is such an amazing piece of advice! Thanks a ton.❤🤍

[@erzsebetaradszkyfeketene3430]

[@omelisbravo8590]

I can hear English, but I can't speak and I even have trouble writing, because I don't practice it, but I do listen to many videos. And follow many native speakers. I happy for all what I've learned. And I appreciate your lessons Teacher Mike.

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

It's good that you are self-aware. If you want to improve your weaknesses, just keep working on them. ✅

[@Daisy-zm8mj]

Thank you! That is so helpful

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

You're welcome! Do you have either of those 2 problems?

[@shieldstar5629]

I totally agree with everything you said 😅😅🐰🐰🐰🙌

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Have you ever had either of these problems?

[@shieldstar5629]

Of course 😁 all the time 😅

[@shieldstar5629]

I mean that's why lm here 😅

[@Min-re2ib]

Do you have spoken English class on line？

[@LenyStorozka]

Ah man, I am fine with English, I can write anything (not everything) but I can write I want to say to someone. My problem is speaking. I have no time to listen every word from Translator's speaker (how it sounds, how to pronounce it) and also remember how to say that. I am still thinking in my language and translate it to English and I think that this is the problem. I heard many times that you should thinking in language you want to speak. I am Slovakian, our grammar is way more complex and difficult then English, I live in the UK since 2008 but still cannot speak fluently 😥 Thank you for this video and I want to tell you that you are the real helper for everyone who need to be familiar with English. Hat off man for your video and once more thank you for your work. If you understood this comment then it means that I am good in English, just cannot speak fluently and that;s what I wanted to point ion here. Maybe because I am writing slower then speak 😜 Who knows 😉

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Thanks a lot. It sounds like you are aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, and that is a very good thing. You are probably correct that the problem is that you rely on your native language too much. You need to watch some TV shows and JUST LISTEN. Don't even ask yourself "Do I understand this?" Just relax and listen. And when you hear something that sounds useful, repeat it out loud and write it down. And when speaking, instead of starting in your first language, try asking yourself what the English answer to that question is or what you think an English speaker would say.

[@سمرمحرز]

what about to vary our vocabulary. . like in first place we say in addition in second place we say also.... Moreever

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

What is your question about that?

[@سمرمحرز]

I don't have a exact question. I have just to say do you agree with me that we should vary our vocabulary. for example we say in first place in my opinion in the second. in my point of view

[@سمرمحرز]

@@TeacherMikeEnglish I don't have an exact question. I have just to say that do you agree with me that we should vary our vocabulary for example in first place we say in my opinion in second place we say in my point of view

[@ibrahimbarambangan6946]

When I speak English for someone, I black my mind or I cannot talked anything I forget the vucabolary.

[@MussaDalali]

I learn from Tanzania East Africa

[@nileshvenuvanshi]

Sir I can understand but not speak I don't have phrases, can you me some tips. Thank

[@ЛидияСиницкая-е1ъ]

I'd like to say that the more we practice speaking no matter with a partner or without , the less we think about grammar while speaking. We should keep in mind that the most important thing is to convey information, even with some mistakes , communication will take place. But it's also important to remember that words won't come easy , if you don' t practice and listen enough.

[@gajowka2705]

What if I understood all what you talking but I know that I do mistake when I try repeat few minutes later. I know tenses, when should use had, have or has for example. I know that the reason is low to speek but maybe do you have some solution for this ? Any eay you do great job for us. Take a beer from me🍺😅

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

You just need practice (repetition). It's not enough to listen to/learn something. You need to use it again and again. And thanks for the beer.

[@devikapokhrel3413]

I hesitate to speak english language because if i mistake grammer it can give different meaning so.

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

It's not something you should worry about. It's definitely going to happen sometimes, but it's better to try to speak and make a mistake than it is to not speak at all.

[@shieldstar5629]

Yo hi how's it going i hope you're having a wonderful day what's a fantastic video thank you so much awesome job you rock 😅😅😅😅😅😅🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😄😄😁😁👋🌟

[@evelynquinonez1667]

Speaking fluently means that you can communicate easily without stopping and thinkimg too much. As well, speaking fluently doesn't mean that your grammar and pronunciation are perfect. 😁

[@agnesskaoma9599]

I used to translate when ever lam talking to someone, that's the problem lam not fluent

[@juancarlosfarfanguzman1609]

Hello, Mike, I have a question, with great respect. Why do you call yourself a "teacher" if Americans say it's incorrect. Thanks for clearing up my doubt. 🙌

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

I think you mean "Why do you call yourself Teacher Mike?" And there are lots of reasons. Here are 2. 1. You can call yourself whatever you want. 2. If I called myself "Mr + last name" I would have to tell everyone my last name, and no one would understand the purpose of my channel.

[@ЕленаО-б8з]

I think, most of beginners translate in their heads.

[@TeacherMikeEnglish]

Some do. Some don't. I never did that when starting to learn a foreign language, and no one needs to.
