Thanks for Watching
Anna ❤ 🇬🇧
Please keep on making such podcasts. This should be your bread and butter as a CZcamsr. Why? Simply because you excel at it.
Anna, I think if we believe a little we are perfectionists but we aren't in real, that helps us to try every time to do better. I like the idea of being a perfectionist even if I don't do it all really well. (The system corrects my grammar, it is fantastic!!!!)
Hi Anna! Your lesson is perfectly prepared. You encourage me to continue learning English. I'm going to overcome my procrastination.
I like your voice very much.
Hi from Sardinia. Yep, I believe I'm somehow a perfectionist too. This video/podcast is "close to perfect" and you voice is mesmerising. THX. And yes, when you at last decided to become a CZcamsr, you did the right thing! 🖐️🤠
❤❤i think perfection has a wide range ..something is perfect for me yet for the other is not..so u r definitly doing petfect job teaching us.u r genuinly extremely petfect for me ❤❤
Perfect ❤
This was great! I found it so inspirational and helpful. Thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us with such onesty.
I felt very related to this podcast because I always thought I'd never achieve to speak English with confidence and I used to spend hours and hours thinking of how to star off. But when I did decide to start, and had my first conversation it was like walking over the moon! As a perfectionist, she got the point, it is better to enjoy it and be flexible with ourselves. Thank you for such incredible podcast, and for cheering me up! 🎉 I really enjoy your videos
Hi teacher !!!! You are my favorite english teacher all over the world and this new way to taught is extremely interesting… thanks a million for that 😊😊😊Bonjour de France !!!!
Super ❤❤❤
Thank you Anna, great English session and also a great life lesson!
Great video! We are learning a lot with you, thanks!!! Regards from Alicante.
I really like this lesson’s topic. I am really happy to discover this channel. I listen your podcasts every day. I hope I won’t burnout
Because of this podcast, I stopped procrastinating ❤
I love the red highlight on the text as you're speaking - it's really useful! 🙌🏻
Yes, absolutely! I read the entire text aloud word by word while listening simultaneously to practice my pronunciation (like karaoke without singing).
@@markusschipke5975 That's amazing! Your English will improve so quickly that way. Well done! 👍🏻
I totally agre, it's an amazing way to practice. However I was wondering how the best way to use it to improve, I often listening without seeing the subtitles and take all the context, then, I listen again following the subtitle and I write the phrases or words that I didn't know, then I do a research to understand the words or phrases, then I read out loud the text without listening, in the end I listening again and see if I have some error or bad pronunciation then I shadowing the audio.
@@dpmayer One good method is to listen without reading. If you come across a word you don't understand, you can check it (especially if you don't understand the meaning of the sentence through context). You will need to do this more for topics where vocabulary is new for you or an accent you're not used to. I hope that helps! ⭐
@@andreafixes thank you for your tips.

I feel a little bit bad about not supporting this channel late the way I'm supposed to considering the fact that this channel is literally one of the reasons why I can speak, write & listen English now a days. It brought me all the way from A1 to my current level B1. Thank you, English like a native. You will always be my first and favorite English channel.
This is fantastic, compliments!!
Anna I have opposite problem I public Always and I think very few . I must be more like you more perfectionist !
Maybe I am a perfectionist too which sometimes makes me waste time on trying to better a task or just feel like putting off doing things as you said .. I wish I weren’t a stickler 😁
Very interesting topic 👍 your hard work did not go in vain
Thank you so much Anna 🙏
Hi Anna, thanks for your podcasts. Just wanted to share with you one interesting idiom, "to split hairs" I believe we can use it as an equivalent to "nitpicking". Btw I've heard the phrase which you've mentioned in this video, but it slightly differs and it says, "Aim for the Moon if you miss you may hit a star". Have a nice weekend, take care.
❤❤❤❤❤ cool Anna
Rellay perfect speech.
Keep moving on anna
A diamond is a chunk of coal that did well under pressure
Is there an application or a certain way to make those red highlights accurate to one's reading?
~~~~ Belle France ~~~~
It's a tongue so belle with magnificent words
Which carries its history through to its accents
Where you can smell music and the scent of herbs
The cheese of the goat and the golden bread
And from Mont-Saint-Michel to the Contrescarpe
Hearing the people of this country speak
It's as if the wind had been caught in a harp
And that it has kept all of its harmonies
In this lovely tongue with the Provence colours
Where flavour of things is already in words
It's first by speaking that the party starts
And one drinks the words as well as the wine
Voices resemble the courses of rivers,
Respond to meanders, to the wind in reeds,
Even to torrents that carry thunder
Polishing the stones on the banks of streams
It is a tongue belle at the end of the world
A bubble of France, West of a continent
Caught in a stranglehold but yet so fertile
From low of high ice to volcanic centres
She has thrown bridges over the Atlantic
She once left her nest for some other soils
And like a swallow to springtime of musics
She returns to sing us her sorrows and hopes
To tell us that there in the snowy maples
She faced the winds 'round the St. Laurent gulf
And poured magic words out into the schools
And where we still speak the tongue of our people
A tongue beautiful for those who defend it
It offers treasures of infinite riches
The words that we lacked to reach and understand
And the strength we need to live in balance
And from Orleans isle till the Contrescarpe
Listening to the folks singing in this country
It seems that the wind has caught on a harp
And that it composed a whole symphony
On dirait que le vent s'est pris à une harpe
Et qu'il a composé toute une symphonie!

Merci Anna! 🙏😊

All my poems are on All Poetry.
At 3'45, i think you meant "Perfection is subjective", and not "objective". Am I right ? Good Podcast by the way. I like its honesty.
I am perfectionist too😢 I feel like all my work is unworthy and without a value.
I'm also a perfectionist, which can be exhausting and really annoying. It's like never reaching the standards! 😥
03:46 There is a mistake, the phrase would be "perfection is subjective"
3:47 Perfection is subjective, not objective. I believe you meant to say this. Objectivity is based on a scientific standard, which means one size fits all, but subjectivity depends on the whims of the individual, thus my perfect day may not be yours-that is subjective...
the title is mandarin, you can say it?
Level of this video?
Actually, I’ve listened to the entire podcast as an audio and came here just to comment on. This is a really brilliant one honestly, I felt it relates to me so much. I’ve personally not tried many things in my life because of my fear not to be perfect at. This feeling has really impeded me hugely as I had no courage to try on new things or look at different opportunities that were available at that time. Thankfully, my mentality has changed recently as I’ve finally realised we are humans, none of us is perfect. We just have to try our best and do the best we can by pushing ourselves to the limit regardless of the outcomes that we might not be very satisfied with. Success is a journey that will definitely take time! As you mentioned, “aim for the moon. If you miss, you may hit a star.” Thank you so much, Anna. This episode has inspired me a lot. 🥹🌹
isn’t it ironic you create a podcast on how perfectionism can damage you and yet your channel name tells something different
Oh sorry, I think she use these name is mean for hope. With this channel, hopefully the audience can talking like a native. Maybe not perfect but can a half.
I can't thank you enough for the huge effort you've made to deliver this podcast. However, I'm extremely glad that you've not given up because you are with no doubt the best Dimon Teacher in the world, and sooner, you'll be The GOAT. Quack Quack 🎉🎊🥸
A long time ago I read about dragons. A red one is symbolic of the rough energy we were born with but its evolution is the green dragon, let's say that taming the first is our mission and then we have to let it off trusting it will come back to us with its beautiful treasures.
