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 :) .
Wow, you're awesome, Anna! What an inspiration for every language learner. 😀❤️
Oh, thank you so much! ) It's such an honor to hear this from a person that I admire)
Hi, Vanessa!!!
Vanessa here!👏👏👏👏👏
I thi I love you Vanessa.....would you...
Vanessa u r also here,u r perfect,my inspiration. I ❤️ Anna as well ❤️
You just applied the natural way of learning a language. It’s incredible what you’ve done, congratulations
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
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 ❤
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 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..
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!!
I’m Canadian and I speak both Russian (my mother’s tongue) and English fluently and I have to say, I am so impressed. I haven’t met a single person with an accent so close to American that it’s hard to believe you haven’t been to an English-speaking country!
:) thank you )
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.
There are people who learn faster than others. This woman seems to be pretty smart.
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!!! ✌️
This video is the best with step by step with details. I have been studying English for 2 years with my private teacher. But I realized that the secret is to put the language on your schedule every day. You can't have English only one time. Thanks. Hi from Brazil 💙💚💛🌎
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.
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!
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..
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)
You're awesome! Thank you!
Such an inspirational message. Thanks, Anna!
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.
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
Thank you for this video!!
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
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! ✌🏻😉
Excellent video. Thanks!
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!
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)
Thank You, Anna & Love this😍
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 !!
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.
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
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!
I am so very impressed with you and your journey!! Thank you for encouraging others!! 💜 I agree with listening to start. Really listening. Journaling is very important.
Three years? Thats terrific!! Your english is amazing.
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.
consistency, patient, and determination
You are awesome. Thank you so much for your teaching.
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.
You sound just like a native American, I'm just astonished, you really rock!!
First time here by the way!!!
Wow, awesome tips! Thank you Anna.
Thank you for sharing about your journey! It was really motivating to hear you speaking about how you made English part of your life.
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!
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?
😂😂😂👏
I love not only teaching style but also you because you are tremendous.
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.
Your tips are 100% efficient. God bless you for sharing.
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
Amazing!!! Thank your for the inspiration!!!
Very inspirational sharing!
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

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
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.
Thank you Anna for this video. I enjoy it.
I’m so happy cause I could understand almost everything!
Thank you so much - You are an inspirational person, Anna.
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 m so impressed by your experience thank you !!!
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.
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
My path was very different from yours and I took 15 years to get to fluency. But it was my path, the way it happened to me. I went to an English school for 5 years, then I did one more year learning how to teach English. It was awesome and I think at that point, I would be able to be fluent, but I didn't have any other chances to study or to use English. I went to university and despite I used it for texts I didn't have the chance to really talk in English. So I was just listening, watching, playing video games, all in English. First with subtitles, then without. Same with games, but all alone. Then in 2019 I had the chance to talk with a friend that came from US in English, and at that point, it took me 1 week to fluency. BUT I had spent about 15 years just passively learning the language, I couldn't use the spoken languange with others, just some small phrases that I shouted sometimes, some texts, but not a real conversation. One thing that is interesting is that I was able to talk in English with an American accent without even thinking of it. It just happened. Anyways, I still study everyday, and nowadays I'm trying to learn German, Italian and Latin, and had studied Spanish before but I still need to practice with others, the same problem I had with English. By the way, I'm from Brazil, and you can't find a lot of people talking in English around here. But like I said, this was my journey, it's incomparable.
I want to speak fluently.....which steps should I follow to achieve my goal? Iam not from English school.....
@@sridevirengarajan1445 One thing that made me get a fluent level was to listen a lot. I mean, it seems to be simple but it isn't so simple. I went through the process of watching movies and series, first using subtitles, then removing it to listen, and listening more and more, until I could get exactly what they were saying without any help. I played a lot of video games, usually with subtitles so they could help me to get different accents and ways of saying the same word. And finally I tried reading out loud texts so my mouth would pronounce the words the correct way, so I could get used to talking, saying words in English. And then, when I had the chance to have a real conversation in English with someone I just spent a day to get used to a real conversation. For me, it took some time, but everyone has its time, so you should keep practicing, this will get you fluency before you expect. And one more thing, when you have the chance, try to talk with someone in English, even if you're not fluent, this always help, and don't feel afraid to make mistakes, that's what makes you get fluent.
@@leonardonemesissk8trnice journey brother if you wanna have word with me you are most welcome......i appreciate your journey

Your American accent is extremely good. Outside of some Dutch people you sound the most like a native American than anyone I've ever heard. It's interesting that your vowels sound like the accent that is similar to people from Minnesota, USA. I've never heard that particular sound from anyone who isn't from Canada or Minnesota.
No, she sounds Pennsylvanian to me.
I was definitely think she sounds like she is from Minnesota! I was having that thought shortly before reading your comment.
Thanks so much for information
You are a wonderful teacher for sharing your caliber and knowledge. May God bless you for your profession. Thank you.
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'm astounded! You're a true role model for English Language Learners! Well done!!!
I love listening to u the more I hear the more I became fluent
До этого видео я был абсолютно уверен, что Вы носительница языка! Великолепно звучите!
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
It was nice hearing your experience.
Very brilliant woman you are THANK YOU And I Congratulate you
Thank you for your guidance and perfect description 👑
I thought you were a native speaker for sec. Keep up with the good content 🙌🏽🙌🏽# much love from Toronto
At the first time I watched your video, i thought u were American native speaker. But the fact u are not!!! Wow.. your English accent is amazing. Thanks Anna for your tips how to speak English fluently.
Simply amazing, I'm very impressed with your post.
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. 💕
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.
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 🙏🙏
Thank you for sharing your experience
Loved it. Thanks. I did all the things you mentioned and truly I feel blessed ..
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. ;)
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
