Hey Everyone! ) I’m Anna and welcome to my channel. Here, I post some useful information for English learners. I’m from Ukraine and I’ve worked on my English and accent, for the most part, on my own, but you can find out and trace my story by watching my videos. I’ve been studying American pronunciation for a long time, and I still do, and I guess I always will - because it’s not math. Learning a language, it’s a lifetime journey. I know exactly what it takes to become fluent in English and acquire an American accent in a non-English speaking country, and I’ve never even been to one. And I’m sharing this information here - on my channel.

Hi everyone,
If you want to improve your english by reading books and for more , I invite you to my channel :) .
I am a native English speaker and I am blown away! 🤯 Your English is almost flawless! I’m watching this video in hopes that I can apply what you did in my language journey. I’m currently learning Spanish and Russian.
Thank so much 😃 good luck to you! I’m sure you’ll succeed!💪🏻
Ну как русский , даётся ?))
hi how are you? could you help me to learn english plis and i can teach you spanish please... say yes, is it a good deal no?
Hi! My name’s Peter. I’m Russian, learning English. If you are interested in learning Russian please, let me know. I assume, we could be helpful to each other, could we? We could talk to practice speaking. Thank you.
Yo estoy aprendiendo inglés .
I really love english ... I am a big fan of native english speakers..
You really inspire me! I love to know how people succeed because it makes me believe that it's possible, doesn't matter your situation.
1. Start with listening skills
(Consistency, patience, determination)
2. Follow people whose posts are in English
3. Join non-native speakers group. Record your voice and listen to it, fix and improve
4. Write new words in notebook (she used up to 5 thick notebooks)
5. Start a CZcams channel in English
Thank you.😍
Start a CZcams channel 😂🤣
Good tips except that I hate recording myself and then listening to it 😅😒
Well i'm not starting a CZcams channel 😂
@@ashley__c Me too OMFG, the worst thing 😂 I can't even think in listen to myself, hate my voice so much
I'm from South Sudan. I didn't go to school when I was little because I was born during the war and to make matters worse our Country was invaded by the neighboring country. So it left us with no choice but to leave our Homeland and we went to other country to seek refuse, to make long story short I came to United States with my husband and my son. I started English as an adult learner it was difficult I got headaches when speaking English at first. Learning a language is a non- stop journey you have to be consistent. It's just you even native speakers learn something new every single day. Thank you so much for sharing your stories with us.
Amazing story ❤
What you've said are all relatable. I saw myself in your experiences. I'm not as good as I wish yet but you gave me courage to continue what I've started. Nothing is impossible for the one who perseveres. Thank you for being so honest about your journey of learning. God bless!
This is my second time watching your videos and I thought you were American. What a good pronunciation and accent you have!
where is she from?
@@apdardillaspordoquier1324 Ukraine
I though the same!
She is American
Probably Ukraine @@apdardillaspordoquier1324
Iam proud of my self because I realised that I can understand the whole video without subtitles :-)
Yes, me too, I'm not speaking English yet and writing very badly, but I can understand the whole video
👏👏👏👏 same
I am proud of you too!!
Thank you so much for making this CZcams channel. I am Japanese and so admire your teaching skills and passions. I always get motivated and study harder again after watching your videos even when struggle with enhancing English comprehensions especially speaking skill. You are the best online English teacher!!
Your speaking abilities are just amazing!What a wonderful pronunciation! Thank you for what you're doing!
You're a great motivator. 💪🏻😎
My best wishes! ✌🏻😉
Wow!Amazing! you can do it.We envy your speaking style as a non native speaker.Thanks for sharing your learning experience.We love you and your family.
I hope one day I can speak as fluent as you
Do the work and you will.
Just finish friends , the office, breaking bad and some movies in Netflix and u will be fine
@@maguedMigs it won't help.in order to speak you have to speak not watch some stupid tv-show.
@@maguedMigs you are god damn right 😬😬I did the same thing
You're soooo amazing!! Your accent is incredible, too!!!! Language learning is sooooo rewarding!! 💜

English please speak with me
Great example of success. I love learning English as my second language also. It takes time but as you said when work hard and spend enough time, eventually you can see the results. Great job !!
yes!
I can relate to your story a lot. Wow that's amazing! you just listened to your gut and nobody else - amazing, amazing, amazing!
No language can be mastered in few days it takes years of hard work
and talent! some of us have talent. But still it takes years.
@@eduardochavacano there's no such thing as talent, just a lame excuse
Yes! it is painfully slow.
Do not believe it. She does not have an accent. Living in the US for several years, I have noticed that the accent will be the first the sign that you are an ESL. This is a SCAM. she wants to sell you something.
@@cot_begimot4170 если бы ты хотя бы половину того времени, что посвящаешь вопросам, практиковал язык, то все вопросы бы отпали)
I've gotta say most of things you explain in this video were the ones I did when I wanted to brush up on my english skills! Great video!
I’ve just found my soul-student! LOL the steps you’ve taken are exactly those that i myself have, too. I’m so satisfied with the results i’ve been experiencing since I started doing the right things to study English! I truly hope this video reaches every single ESL student who is struggling with the fluency issue. Your English is perfect, Hanna! Congrats! 👌🏾And thank you for sharing your thoughts. It’s just amazing!
Your journey in studying English was amazing and inspire me to do the same thing as much as possible. Thank you, Ms. Anna, for sharing your experience on
how to become fluent in English..
Well done Anna, you are right, the only way to be better in anything it's to push yourself every day.
It's impossible to learn something and progress if you stay on your comfort zone.
Our society should says and shows more often to new generation the effort to reach the best you want to.
Congrats and carry on as I do too because I am frensh and year after year speaking, listening, phoning, reading, watching become more confortable for me as well.
Wow. You sound like a real native speaker. I only heard one error. What an amazing journey. How inspiring! Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
You sound just like a native American, I'm just astonished, you really rock!!
First time here by the way!!!
It's the first time I watch a very honest an authentic video on you of how to learn English properly on your own. Loads of Thanks 😊 Anna.
Thanks a lot!
After getting to know about your journey to fluency. I've figured out one thing that "consistency is the key"!
Now, I'm going to be consistent and finish my daily goals!
Hello, Anna. I’m Japanese and can speak American English like you even though I’ve never lived in any native English countries. You shared how you have become fluent in speaking English in this video and I realized I have done nearly the same things as you to be a fluent speaker of English. In my view, a good language learner could have the same kinds of learning methods or processes to be fluent wherever they live and what first language they speak. I have watched several thousands of CZcams videos about how EFL learners can improve their skills. I notice most of successful EFL learners have the same kinds of learning methods. Your videos are so inspiring and could make EFL learners motivated to learn further. Please keep on doing amazing and mesmerizing videos for EFL learners around the world.🙏
anyone here can help me to practice my English please
I don't believe you. I need proof that you can speak like American. Please make a video to show us.
MohBouch I can help u
Omg, me too! I’m from Malaysia and at best we speak a non-standard variety of English here but I used mostly similar methods as her too! I’m glad it works for you. My fluency is probably just 70% but I try my best to be as fluent as possible. I’m glad I’m alone in this kind of journey.
joesitt1 It really is possible, you just need the right technique.
Thank you Anna for what you are doing for us ! I'm not a native speaker but I "love" English and I'm doing my best to be fluent in English
Hi, Anna! I'm also from Ukraine. I'm such a passive learner. Somehow I ended up at B2 level. I mostly reading, watching movies, and listening to podcasts. Speaking and writing is my weak spots. I didn't quite get how many hours you spent per day in the beginning of your journey though. You are motivating me, thank you very much
Yeah, "speaking and writing "- "is=> are"
Congratulations! I'm from Poland. I've been living in USA for 4 years and still working on my foreign accent! everything I've learned it's my own work at home raising 2 kids so I am proud of myself. I'm really impressed by your work and great results! My daughter corrected little mistakes I made ... VERY tiny mistakes ! 🤣
How is your english today?
😂😂😂👏
your english is outstanding, but to make clear it for everybody out there: fluency isn't mocking an accent
Hi everyone,
If you want to improve your english by reading books and for more , I invite you to my channel :) .
@ukkr you are absolutely right..
@@AmerikancaEnglish you didn't mention your channel
This is the kind of video that I watched with a big pleasure. I’m impressed by the fact how you speak English without being in a native English country. Definitely I will use most of the tips that you’ve mentioned about. Thanks for sharing all this useful information.
You just applied the natural way of learning a language. It’s incredible what you’ve done, congratulations
Your tips are 100% efficient. God bless you for sharing.
It’s not that people don’t know how to improve their English, it’s really just not spending enough time learning.
and with smart ways. ; )
You right bro things take time. And learning this language takes very long time..
I really felt the sincerity while you were speaking ,and it gives me more motivation to improve my Linguistic skills ☺️
Thank you for sharing about your journey! It was really motivating to hear you speaking about how you made English part of your life.
Three years? Thats terrific!! Your english is amazing.
Your vocabulary is amazing!
Your pronunciation and diction are awesome!
Your appearance is fabulous!
So many reasons to subscribe and continue watching all videos 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Виктория Таланова OMG! ☺️ Thank you so much! It’s such an honor to read such words! 😙
It was so sweet listening to her seriously.
Now I want to learn pronunciation and British accent.
We not only love your sweet voice but also your advice that you encourage us.We really appreciate your great efforts.Your achievement is awesome.
I love your story
I've been strugling with finding good ways or methods that would work for me very well.
But after I've watched a couple of your videos, I just realized that I've resisted the ambiguity so I hasn't been able to feel relaxed and be patient when I'm learning English.
Now my mind is more calm than usual while watching your videos because I accepted your tips just right after you mentioned them :)
Hi I´m very impressed how you can speak english very clearly, I´ve been watching your videos on youtube and I´d like to speak English as good as you . Thank you for helping us every single day. I wish you a great day.
You speak so clear, that’s amazing! I don’t understand every single word, but I try to do this, I’m about at the start of my English journey. Thank you for video. It’s very useful!!
my pleasure!)
That's awesome! I wish you consistency, patience and willpower)))
I'm sure you'll succeed!
Hey yana
@@EnglishFluencyJourney Yeah, having will power and discipline is important.
I have no words to thank u for what you have done by sharing your experience with us, listening to you makes me feel even more inspired and motived to keep moving forward and figure out that ALL I've gone through so far have been worthwhile. Even those bad words heard from people close to me that tried to put me down saying that I was wasting time and money were no able to hold me down. When I watch you speaking English is like a positive answer that I feel inside of me that encourages me not to give up.
I rarely comment on CZcams but you blew my mind!! I think you’re the most inspiring person I’ve discovered on CZcams so far!!
Thank you! Good story! :)

This is crazy! Your accent is perfect!
Creo que Ella nació en otro país pero vivio en USA de pequeňa, bueno no lo se
No creo.. lo q pasa es q lo debio haber estudiado bien, ella misma dice q no a viajado a otro pais, a lo mejor practico d otras maneras con nativos no crees?
@@albertocarpio5755 ella dijo que nunca ha ido a un país de habla inglesa
Really??? You sound like a native!!!
@@axelfernandez3540 debe de tener parientes de habla inglesa o algo asi , nadie me engaňa jajaja lol
Wow, it was amazing! 🤩 Wake up now and live English in this day, everyday!
I am truly impressed. I work with a lot of Ukrainians here in the U.S. and every time I hear them speaking in their native language it just sounds like gibberish to me. I imagine myself trying to learn their language and it just seems so impossible to me. So for you to be speaking my language at this level is mind blowing. There was a moment in watching this video I realized you're not an American and that you just acquired American english, I got a little freaked out because I was so impressed.
There are millions of people speaks just like her or even better but Needless to say English is the most beautiful and rich language in the world.Your mother tongue became part of me ,my daily life and even stopped speaking in my language because of willing to learn this delicate language
I thought you were a native speaker for sec. Keep up with the good content 🙌🏽🙌🏽# much love from Toronto
I just started learning listening skills recently. I hope to hear well after half a year of training. I really admire your work. I come from Vietnam
your journey to get fluent in english inspre me a lot and also i find motivation to learn and not giving up because i'm still struggling in intermediate level in english in 3 months after learning about 2 years or so. THANK YOU ANNA FROM INDONESIA
Your story makes me inspired definitely, I thoroughly love your tone and voice. When you are speaking English it sounds so gentle and smooth. I want to speak like you someday, Anna.
Your journey is an example to everyone! Amazed how much you dominate the language and speak as a native speaker. To be honest when u very first found out your channel I thought you were native English speaker hahah
Congratulations to you!! 🌸
"I thought you was native English" not would be it?
"To be honest, when i found the your channel" not would be it?
@@computadorhumano949 no, were is for "you" and plural while was "is" for I and singular
Congratulations!!! You did and still doing a great job. For those who can't go to any english speaking country here we've a huge inspirational history, let's keep going. Passion, discipline and consistency will drive us to accomplish our goal. Anna here you've a new subscriber.
salute to you, Anna! It takes a lot of hard work to become good at a second language
Without a doubt sharing your experience with us is important because we can receive some real and useful tips ! Thank you a lot!
Hey Anna, I'm new here. u know I have been studying english for years. but.. still stuck in the beginner level. I know it's because I didn't have so much time to practice also I wasn't strict my self. ur story really inspired me. I'm leaning english by watching english videos and podcast, wish me luck 🙏🙏
Anna, you are such an inspiring person! Now I'm more motivated to work on my English than before. Thanks a lot for the video. During the searching I came across your channel and subscribed immediately after watching one video. I absolutely admire your great pronunciation.
❤
I am so proud of you. We were with Hadar on the same group. You are incredible!
Absolutely amazing video, Anna! You motivate me to become Fluent in English. I'll start my journey right here, right now.
So happy to hear your story Anna :) I'm going to use some of your videos to inspire some of my students. This is similar to the way that I learnt Catalan at the age of 30 (I already knew some Spanish)
The most motivated video I've ever listened to. I'm in the same case. I live in Africa in a French country and I really want to speak English fluently
I love not only teaching style but also you because you are tremendous.
Well done, Ann. Very useful advices for learners of a foreign language. Even American immigration officers say that if a person came to the USA after the age of 9, he has an accent. Speaking without accent after 2 years - is amazing!
It would be great to show this video to those who say that it's impossible.
Nothing is so convincing than your advise for learning language.
when I imagine your dedication to learning English, What a hard work it has been!
Thanks a lot.
the first sight, i though that you were kidding around but finally
you became my motivator
It's not your journey only ... It's an inspirational lecture for all of us ... Thanks
Thank you so much for your video. Your video has inspired me a lot and I shared it with my soon-to-be Russian husband, I'm sure your video would help him a lot on his way to English learning journey. 💕
Stumbled across this...as a native American English speaker, just want to say congrats and well done for your fluency accomplishment! Very, very impressive! Your accent is excellent as well; only a few pronunciation nuances that give you away, but in no way is that a bad thing - those nuances give it that attractive character that is charming to native speakers. Just my opinion.
Cheers from USA! 🍻
Matt Koontz Thank you. 😊
My friend from the USA.. what does " it works stevie wonders" mean"? I think I heard her say that
just "it works wonders' with a famous dudes name in the middle lol@@lancechris.2592
I also like to training my listening skills first. I do this 'cause this was one of the main motivation to learn English. This is what gives me the fuel to do more and more
Your English journey lifestory helps me to get motivated to learn more and more everyday! Greetings from Brazil!
Your special speech make us get a motivate to learn and trying to speak for a daily.
I thank you Anna
May you succeed in your life!
You are such an inspiration for me, I love watching the videos that you're talking about your journey. It makes me feel more able to learning English and confident. I'm facing a big deal now which is to keep my studying routine, but when I see your videos I get psyched and it helps me a lot to be focused and productive. Thanks, Anna 💜💜💜
I'm very happy to read this!! :)
First of all, your spoken English is amazing and if you hadn't said that you're not a native English speaker, I wouldn't noticed it hahahaha. Basically, you did everything that I've been trying to do (and I really do) for almost one year in order to become fluent in English. Americanizing my accent is my goal as well, but that's not a kind of obsession because I'm not a early bilingual. However, you got a new subscriber. ;)
I've been trying to master this language for quite long time and after watching your video it just opened a whole universe of possibilities for me of how to start the Process again following your recommendations. Thank you 😊
No beating around the bush , go straight into tips and I mean in specific details and of course amazing accent ... that make you different from other videos Miss ! Very helpful!
I'm motivated by your experience. Hopefully I'll speak English fluently some day. Thank you Anna🌹
My pleasure )
What amazed me is not how fluent you speak, it is your pronunciation. You sound almost like a native English speaker. You knew which accent you preferred. A lot of people still struggle to distinguish British English and American English after years of learning. How could you master your pronunciation in just two years? It's unbelievable. Every single learner knows that the longer the sentence, the harder it is to use the right tone. Please don't just tell me it is all because of practice. The only thing I can believe is that you are truly gifted with language.
Your journey proves one more time that there aren't exist some miracles, just work.. Thank you
Hey Anna! Thanks for sharing your experience. It has inpired me a lot in my English learning journey.
My parents and their families came to the U.S. from Sicily in the early 1970s. They always told us that English was by far the hardest language for them to learn.
I totally agreed with her. Me too people I’m just like her. Now I am enjoying speaking English more than my native language
Good for you. I think that means your English is very good and there are a lot of people you can speak English with. I studied English for years, but there are few people around me I can speak English with. but I love this language very much.
Wow, your English is awesome and I'm determined to work hard on my American accent cause you a living example of how you can achieve anything in life. Thank you! You rock!
Hi Anna, I am so impressed and excited to hear about your journey. I have to tell you that What you said was my lifelong journey. At some points, I felt that I'm the one who is talking. I'm Iranian, and when I started learning had no clue why I was doing this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful experience. 🥰🙏🙏
Wow, the accent and melody is just amazing! You are NOT a native speaker? Unbelievable. When I start talking, I always sound very slavic, no matter how hard I try to pronounce correctly.
Can you give you number to me? I'm a beginner too, so I need someone to talk with me.
I like one thing the most about you, that is making someone understand the issue with your own knowledge and experience.
Find a topic that you are interested in ;)
I'm completely speechless!! I'm trying to find some words of admiration but there aren't any that could possibly express my feelings! You're so bloody gorgeous!! Amazing!!
You are a wonderful teacher for sharing your caliber and knowledge. May God bless you for your profession. Thank you.
I’m so happy cause I could understand almost everything!
Your accent is amazing. You're in one of them who has a great accent along with their pronunciation. I listened to you at 1.25 speed. So that I can understand natives of English language as well. Whenever I listen to natives, I don't get 100% of what they are saying. A teacher suggested in his video that listen to language teachers at 1.5. By doing so, you can understand natives easily. I have just watched this video lesson at 1.25 speed and got everything.
Thank u anna i really love your channel and i've been studying english 6 months ago and i will keep it until i become fluent .i hope you reach your goals and keep up the good work
Really!You have impressive voice
I have watched so many motivational and native speaker but I didn't hear such kind of pronounce i am blissful and peaceful to hear your voice
Because you speak fluently, perfectly, confidently, articulately
You are absolutely right about it if you will believe than you will achieve
I trully believe in you. I started listening 6 months ago I'm able to understand and talk about things I never studied before
Wow great
Jennifer
Сказать, что я в шоке, это не сказать ничего. Честно говоря, я думал, что с таким произношением и беглостью ты долгое время, большую часть жизни проживала в Америке. Браво👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Произношение у нее очень хорошее, грамматика тоже... Но сразу видно что она русская, я не знал что это за канал, но с первых слов стало понятно. Вот когда будет непонятно что она русская - это будет успех!!! ✌️
Anna, you are just an amazing exemplar for all English learners around the world. Am an English teacher here in Mataloko Seminary, Flores, lndonesia. I am still struggling with shaping my American accent for hundreds of my students every year. Some of them are interested IN American accent too. Your tips are just powerful 👍👍👍👍
I loved your video! So amazing. I from Brazil and watching your video I realize that I'm in the right way. I start watching things that I really like and my motivation is totally different now. I force myself to listen everyday the most I can musics and videos in english. I fell an incredible development in my listening. I will follow your tips about the writing
In my opinion there is no way to be fluent in English unless one Puch himself to practice a lot
I wanna to thank again Anna you made me More excited and motivated that is great help only
Very inspiring indeed.
I really love the fluency level this respectabel person has reached and at the same time I feel so good. Why? Well, simply because I've done almost every single thing the teacher here has done over like 2 years and luckily it worked wonders for me, too.
I'm completely thankful for the current level I've reached at speaking.
However, I'd like to be honest with you friends and say that there are still many contexts where I would feel a little confused when have to answer or direct a question on that newly handled topic. Nevertheless, I believe that this is absolutely normal and okay, since I used to have troubles even talking about my personal information a couple of years ago; fortunately, now such kind of words comes out of my mouth naturally and spontaneously.
In brief, I would love to say that I, as a foreign teacher of English, agree with all what you say here ma'am: it's mainly a matter of🌺 hard work, patience, determination and consistency🌺
May God bless you dear teacher🙏
PS
I love your pitch🌺🌺🌺
Thank you for sharing your experience! )
