- In this video I will try to answer a question that I get asked every day: How can I get motivated to learn English?
The answer to the question might be in the stories of my Irish grandmother, and a wise rabbi. See you in class!

I’m sorry I don’t have time to reply to all of your comments but I read them all and I am eternally grateful for your love and support.
Christian, if I'd like to join your class, what should I do? I really want to improve my speaking skills, please help me... All your videos are so useful. You're one of the best teachers here & I always look up to you.... I do like your accent. Keep producing your videos. Looking forward to watching them.
So touching ! Many thx for this amazing video💗
Hi, Christian I agree with you. You doing right things. God bless you and stay always same intelegent and kind person.
Hi Christian, I liked a lot this video. The things you said in this video are very true and the story of your grandma is so full of feeling and love for her and for what she did in her difficult life. And I think that what she said is true : it's the fear to make mistakes when we speak or when we do something else that kills our experiences.
We MUST win the fear !!!
So we could be happier!!
Bye Christian, my best teacher.
Thank you for your videos, I am trying to be just that kind of teacher. Breaking the conservative non functional education system and trying to "infect" students with my enthusiasm for communication in English. Your videos are helping me to stay focused on this "mission" and I feel supported by you in my way of teaching.
Christian, this is not the first time you've made me cry, you know... There is so much wisdom in your words, they move me... Not only for english learning, but for everything I'm going through right now... God bless you my friend... and thank you, thank you, thank you for sharing your story!!!
I feel the same. Christian is great, because of his great heart...
You are a great man before a great teacher ( sorry for my English)
me too...
Chistian, your love about your life makes me change the way that i see my life
Thank you for your honest and motivating words.Christian....from the bottom of my heart
"You die if you worry and you die if you don't. So why worry?!" Good phrase! Thank you and your Grandmother!
Christian, your passion for teaching and your sensitivity motivate all of us every day.... Thank you for sharing this video... 🙏
Your grandmother's soul will always be with you. ❤️
He has learned 13 LANGUAGES, speaks 6 languages, lectures at Moscow universities. He is a Russian language expert, linguist, and polyglot. His passion and love for languages, as well as useful tips, are a source of motivation and triggers for constant language learning for me and for many people. He once has said to me ''You just have to love a language that u want to know, not to study'' I've made outstanding and dramatic improvements thanks to his help and guidance. Now I know what kind of material to use and how to use to make the learning process productive and efficient and more enjoyable at the same time. I think you never will be motivated for a long time if you won't find your mentor. İf it interesting for someone his channel is called Linguamus. Btw Christian thanks for your sensitive and sincere story
Dear Teacher, I had not seen anything so motivating that understanding that just the opportunity to learn to communicate should be our own motivation to study. Amazing.
Dear Christian, I watch your videos not only to learn English, but mainly for your spirituality, for your charisma. His words, his teachings make my life happy and motivating. Sometimes we don't have an exact notion of our attitudes, about our words. Your grandmother must be very proud of you, I believe she is in a good place. You are a blessed person, I feel a very good energy in you. Keep it up. Bear hug! (Abraço de urso!).
I’m so impacted by your video, Christian!
Beyond your touching story of your grandma and you, which brought me tears, your sensitive way to approach this important issue of living with joy had captured me.
I was born and raised in a poor country area and left my home when I was 12 years old.
Life was hard but I’ve made it through.
I’ve learned English most of it on my own, I consider myself fluent, I listen, read and talk with no major issues.
I’ve never wanted to go through any evaluation tests because I always just wanted to communicate and have the joy of being able to comprehend and being comprehended by someone out from my Portuguese world and culture.
Now I’ve just come to this great video in which you emphasize the importance of communicating over just studying.
All the best to you. Love you!
P.S: as a vegan, the story of “loving” selfishly the fish and eating was very appropriate!
This channel has a big impact on myself. Christian, thank you so much for your contents, I really admire you.
how can i get motivated ???? with a teacher like you , learning has become a pleasure ...hello from France .. you said , the road of happiness comes with desire ....... and i think it's true .... you're a good person ..... never lose your path , never lose your personality .
Moving his video, I share many of his feelings about his grandmother, because the losers of the Spanish Civil War were forced into exile and I lived with my grandmother until I was eleven. In that exile all her efforts without means were focused on me learning English so that I could live in the civilized world.
I love English simply because it meant freedom. Thank you for your class. From sunny Andalusia.
Cristian, you aren't just a teacher! You're an excelent teacher! I have pleasure of to learn English language by your videos! Thanks and congratulations!
Christian, I would say one thing, you're o great person, a great teacher and I've been learning a lot from you. Thanks for share with us your life experiences and help us keep motivated. Please, keep going your classes, your videos and finally keep being yourself!!!
Teacher Christian: thank you for your lovely e inspirational lesson. A hug.
I never knew why I was learning English. I started three years ago as a 48-year-old. Today I know that listening to stories like the one in the video are some of the most beautiful moments of my life.
You are an amazing teacher.
I was 57, almost 20 months before. I wish your improvement.😊
Hi Christian, your story is so great, thank You
Thank you. You made me very emotional when you talked about your grandmother. My grandmother was a great woman too and I miss her so much.
Thanks a lot! God bless you.
Such a profound way of communicating and such a gift being told about your life. You seem to "take the long way" to get to the point... and yet you take us all exactly where you promised. Thank you wholeheartedly! You're a wonderful teacher!
Story of your grandmother made me cry. Because the same kind of bonding I had with my grand pa. He passed away in 1996.
8:48 I expected something like "You don't love fish. You sell fish!" ;)
I just stared to watch your channel and I need to admit that you are great man. You are so humble and optimistic to your audience. I love you man , greetings from Poland 🇵🇱
"You die if you worry and you die if you don't, so why worry" I love your grandmother's saying!!!
What about dear Christian? Your students have already said it all! You are truly a special teacher! Thanks for your humanity! God bless you and your family!💜🙏🙏🙏
Christian, that is marvellous, I can't even express how much inspiring You are! One of best motivational spechees I've heard. Thank You
Best teacher in the world 🙂
We should match our words with our actions. When we say we want to learn, we just memorize. When we say we have patience, we just learn 5 minutes every day. When we say you are working hard, but you are just waiting for someone to fill your knowledge.
I'm impressed, really impressed. Thanks Christian for your attitude. That´s the way
I am watching your each and every videos, that’s not because I want to learn English. It is because of your short stories and your clear accent 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
We need more teachers like you:)!
Christian, i didn't know any Australian philosopher before this video! Many phrases not just about english learning, it's about life. Thank you
thank you Christian for sharing such a inspiring true story , it has changed my perspective for learning language and living life without worry
I wrote it down, The root of all unhappiness comes from desire.
First of all. Thanks for share this beautiful story with us. I think, your grandma she seemed like a strong woman and full of love and happiness. She was beautiful.
I've been using your tips to keep motivated to learn English and finally I got the fluency. I mean (I've been using) because learning is endless even in our native language. Now I motivate myself with those to learn german as well and it's been a come in handy once more. Thank you so much for everything u been doing for us. Your content is breathtaking and you are an incridible person! Cheers from Brazil
Quanto tempo demorou??
@@jhonwiii8371 4 anos, mas como ele disse no vídeo, há pessoas que dizem amar um idioma e o estuda 5 minutos por dia. Graças a Deus eu não faço parte dessas pessoas, eu amo os idiomas que eu falo. Determinação é quase tudo, pois ser disciplinado é o complemento que falta em muitos.
edit: Não é só estudar, vc tem que viver no idioma, se jogar mesmo. Assim você aprende e nem percebe que está aprendendo.
@@alesscav99 eu estudo a 2 anos e faço tudo em inglês vejo filmes, séries e vídeos no CZcams mesmo deixando passar algumas palavras, parabéns pra vc
@@alesscav99 show!! Eu comecei a estudar "de verdade" há uns meses e já vi diferença. Ainda travo em muitas coisas, mas isso eu sei que é só falta de usar mais o que já sei. Bom aprendizado aí
@@jhonwiii8371 obrigado, sucesso!
You die if you worry, you die if you don't, a life's philosophy , kudos for her!!!!
"You die if you worry, and you die if you don't" that's basically my motto and I think I have a deeper meaning for this since now. I wish I had a chance to meet your grandma. Respect your old lady and man. I hope they are in a better place.
I think everyone arrived at this video at the right time!!! A really big thank you!!! Wonderful teacher!!!
This is one of the most amazing vídeos I’ve watched in my life. It’s incredible the way you transform a story that initially has no connection with the matter in a totally worth lesson, not just for English, but for life. Thanks for making my day better!!
I really LOVE English! Not just love. LOVE LOVE! I've loved English since I turned 4-5 y.o. I'm very happy to know that there are teachers like you Christian and I'm so glad that one day by a complete coincidence I stumbled upon your CZcams channel. It was a video where you were telling us how you got the coronavirus. So, it wasn't even about English but then I got curious and started to explore your channel and OMG I'm so felicific that now I am a part of this wonderful community! Thank you, Christian! Thank you, Canguro English Community! You're the BEST!
I haven't got some words. We love you Christian.
To me is pleasure learn english with you, it's a great channel and I can feel your pleasure doing what you do, I was here journeying in your stor, and suddenly, I realized that I live in the same country that your grandmother was born, Ireland 🤩 I'm Brazilian but I've been living here for 3 years, hugs from 🇧🇷and 🇮🇪 my friend
Excellent job Christian
👏🙌😉
Hi Christian, this is Maria from Colombia thank you for sharing this message from your own experience... I really appreciate it.
Thanks..
Your honesty, hard work and patience please me! They make me want to go beyond! Thanks, Christian!
Joy of learning...fish. Thanks Christian to share with us this wonderful content.
I didnt know your gandma' story. How incredble it is! God bless her. We love you my friend
What a beautiful history of your grandmother. Very encouraging this video, mental prison is the problem.
This is the most touching lesson that I received since many years. Thank you so much, grandma. Thank you so much, Christian
Your words and those of your grandma are wise words. Thanks for sharing them.
Christian, quello che voglio dirti te lo vorrei dire in inglese, ma la mia scarsa conoscenza della lingua non me lo permette, amo questa lingua e studio tanto, ascolto tutti i tuoi video ma per me non è sempre facile comprendere tutto ciò che dici, ma come per magia, ciò che esprimi in questo video mi è arrivato dritto al cuore, grazie per le tue lezioni non di Inglese, ma di vita. Auguro a te alla tua famiglia tutto il bene del mondo, continuerò a seguirti sempre e, forse un giorno riuscirò a scriverti in Inglese. Grazie di nuovo un saluto Anna.
Such an emotional video, Love the idea of learning English joyfully, it feels much better when you work on something hard and get motivated!
Your grandma was a sweet, brave woman and you have a beautiful family. Christian you are right we are losing our motivation sometimes from our problems or health etc.... However I always love English language I return to study somehow and I communicate with my daughter and her best friend usually I won’t feel guilty not studying.😊 And you are the best teacher I’ve known.😊
Thank you so much for your lessons, both on the language and life
You speaking with many love. your message reaches our hearts.
You are honest guy with an open heart.be healthy.
There is something special in you sir which is hard to explain in words but in each of your video there is inspiration and energy which is commendable
Hello Christian! What a movie! What a document of your history and your passion! Thank you, Christian, that was a great post on your great series! You gave your grandma an impressive keepsake. But as a Christian I would like to add a small addition. According to the Bible, there is a positive "worry" in our lives. We should "worry" about being in order with God, who gives us the hope that not everything is over with death.
All the best, God bless!
Bernd
This video pulls at my heartstrings, thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, you help me look at my life from a different point of view.
Eres un regalo divino para nosotros.Necesitamos gente como tu Muchisimas gracias.
So much wisdom in twelve minutes! How video might be so informative, educational and motivating? I have one answer - Christian was born with innate ability for teaching! Great time spending! Thank you!
Hi christian . That's what i do , learning english effortlessly and naturally . I spend more than 5 hours reading listening writing and at least talking to myself . But , today i missed your amazing smile . God bless you . Ahmed from Syria .
Oh, Christian). What nice stories. I loved my grandma and love fish. I like your manner, 🎉
OMG!! Thank you very much Chris!! I really needed to listen to these things!!! I had given up on learning English, but after this video, you managed to motivate me a lot to go back to studying English!
Cristian, thanks for sharing your history, beautiful memories.
You are an incredible person. Thank u so much for sharing your life’s experiences
Wonderful indeed..., histories like this motivate me very much
Just brilliant, Christian.
First time I've ever posted a comment on your youtube videos, but this very post you've made moved me so much. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing this part of your life. It resonates with high significance to me. I can relate to it. A very big thank YOU !
Christian, that history of your grandmother was really moving. Here in Italy several persons in the past emigrated in Australia and much of them never came back.
For that concern the learning love, you said a huge truth and I'm an example of that. When I was child and went at the school I highly hated English, and I can swear it (at such time) not even teachers had the suitable knowledge of it.... so, I let you imagine what were the teaching! Nevertheless, the teacher were arrogant and bad.... however, when I grew up, I felt the wish to learn that language and, I arrenged it utterly alone, starting from the bottom.
Well, nowtime I'm feeling like the emigrates whose moved in Australia speaking no one word and that slowly slowly, step by step, became able speaking fluently.
Thank you so much for teaching. You are a great man!
Omg,thank you our lovely teacher Christian!You are a great motivator! Thank you for every word you've said.
Hi, Christian! This is a great lesson! Thank you. Your grandmother was very clever and her words about worry in life are true. I will try to follow the motivation to speak English.
I'm crying... Please make more videos like this! Thank you!
Thank you for everything. You're my hero.
Another extraordinary life lesson. Thank you very much for your honesty and deep passion to teach.!!!
Hello Christian! You are an understanding person! Thank you for your deep impact on me and my my understanding of the nature of learning. 🙏🏻
Thank you. Christian, your passion for teaching is truly motivating
Thank you Christian! It is a touching video for all of us, who really loves to study a language and those who keep struggling and complaining.
I couldn't agree more with you, Christian. Thanks a lot for sharing!
I was speechless and touched, Christian. Indeed! What’s more, it’s music to my ears hearing that communicating is the bridge to meeting people, the kernel of languages. Robot learners think otherwise but I don’t give up. Tons of thanks👏!
I love this video, I rewatch it at least one time in a month
... thanks my brother... you don't believe how is so important your movies to learn... all time I'm feeling marvelous and impressed with the emotions that the movies have.. just continue like that...
Wow. What a wonderful person and teacher you are! Thank you!
l am an english teacher and this video made me feel pretty confident to do one of the most important thing which is TEACHING ENGLISH.I will share it with my students.Specially when you said your grandma said
you going to die wether you worry or do not.Congratulation for your dedication i love watching your videos and l have been learning a lot from you.
Thank you
You are amazing Chris, thank you !
This has been a very honest and brave video at the same time. I really needed to watch a video like this today. Thank you.
I have to confess that I began to study English only because was useful but, after some years I have to say that I am enjoying it now. It is very true that has required a lot of dedication,learning English is a neverending journey but totally worth it!
You are an amazing person. I feel like you are putting your soul into it. Thank you!
Great history. Your grandmother is so beautiful. I thank so much for keep inspiriting and motivating us.
Nice story about your grandmother. Let them remind me of my own story, and the story of my grandparents, all of them were immigrants too. Argentina is also a country of immigrants. Thank you Christian for your videos, for your messages and for helping me improve my English.
This was just the most amazing lesson in life that I have ever had. It gives me the motivation to continue my studies. Thank you so much, God bless your life.
OMG, this video is amazing, so sincere and profound. Thanks a lot❤️
Thank you, Cris. This is words helped me.
You are a good person, I’m very proud to be a part of this community!
Thank you for these touching stories. I like the phrase not to wait for someone to fill you with knowledge, cause some students instead of using the language just learn separate words and wonder why they can't memorize the words. Your content is vivid and relevant for both teachers and students. Great job!! 👍😃
You are the best. Thank you Chris!
I have fallen in love with the way you teach English. It has all the features needed. It is interesting, emotional, warm, truthful, engaging. Keep it on that way🌞
You are a great human being!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You have a great way of telling true stories. Your description was awesome.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
What you explain in this video is breathtaking an the motivation you give us is amazing.
Thank you very mucho for your time and dedication to language and to us. Please keep doing it because I always need your advice
