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.
Hi Christian!!
I'm from Colombia and I realy enjoy your videos every day. Thank you very much!!
Does it compile?
Congratulations My New English teacher I understand 10 languages I'm enjoying it so much it's really so great. You speak very good
Canguro English Thanks a lot Christian I teach English as a second language and I find your classes quite useful :)
I enjoy a lot your classes. Thanks Christian.
I'm from Ukraine, I'm 54, and I have been living in Ireland from October 2022. I started to study English in 1979, in primary school, in Soviet Union. I knew nothing in English after finished school. Then, in my life, I started learning English several times (5-7) with the same results. Only when I came to Ireland it has moved from the dead point. Thanks a lot for your and your colleagues for the good learning materials!!!!
It's great
Arsen, thanks for sharing your path. The old traditional school way of teaching is obviously not best. Good luck with your English journey.
Excellent. Хай вам щастить. :)
Сподіваюсь, я також колись зможу вільно розмовляти англійською)
@@karimahmed6363 Спочатку треба примудритися звалити з України при закритих кордонах, як це Арсен зробив, а потім вже і англійскьку будете вчити :)
For the first time I could understand 100% a video in english. I was thinking to myself: how is this possible? I think the reason was the speed of your speech. You don't speak very fast and your speech is clear. I think that's why I understood everything.
Hi man. I had the same feeling. The professor speaks slowly and clear!
Same
me too
É nois! Hahah!
I do agree.
Just a wise man. Not in teaching english, but in life understanding
Basically, there are no people with natural-born talent, there are people who love what they do and who spent a lot of time mastering a particular skill, the only barrier is your mindset.
Yes!
not quite, however hard training can be more powerful than any talent.
There are naturally born people. IQ is a born.
yes
Well, what you said definitely wasn't true. But motivation stuff, I understand
Hi Christian! I am from India and aged 86 years enjoying your class much better than any other class. Thank you so much .
I've been an English teacher for over 30 years and I agree 100% with everything you said and explained in this video. 💯👏👏👏👏

@@rybeush Thank you for the summary. That is always very useful to me. Cheers, Daniel.
Fantastic class as always you're the best encouraging teacher
Thanks Jessica, that's very kind! I try my best!
Grammar is not necessary to fall in love, enough if you can speak, but grammar is necessary to the ability of reading if you had received divorce letter.
Hehehee, best comment of 2017!
jajajaja a good one
Rafal Komorowski great , laughed a lot.
يمته تطلكتي رفل
What a shame situation!
Resumen:
1.- Afecto al lenguaje: Motivación,
2 Actitud ¿Como te sientes aprendiendo?.
3 Confianza.
4 Ansiedad: Debes manejar la ansiedad
5 Lenguaje es un aspecto social, entonces debemos aprender todos los aspectos de ésta.
6 Gramática: No te dara fluidez, pero si claridad, fineza en lo que pretendes decir. Debemos aprenderla en un contexto de comunicación.
7 Descubrir las reglas por ti mismo.
8 Con tiempos usamos at, dias usamos On, con meses usamos in,
9 Negative Feedback: Correcciones de un profesor.
10 Vocabulario: Lectura, Anki Cards.

12 Fluidez es Practica!.
13 Es duro, ten paciencia, disfrutalo para que sea más facil.
14 Ten cuidado con falsos profetas, porque ellos tienen un negocio de ello.
Busca material que disfrutes.
This video is really what I needed. As someone living in a french speaking country and having issues with stuttering, I understand that the most important to be fluent is to practice a lot, like Gary Kasparov in chess. I'm determined to do so, every single day whatever it takes. Thank you
I am learning by myself completely alone English from teachers of different countries and each one have different insights and methodologies. But....
Everything you said is 100% truth. I am learning in fact because I am studying everyday more and more practicing everyday a little, two or three times a day and from different countries and pronunciations and methodologies.
Your English accent is perfect and my preference.. Thank for your class. I will study it as much as possible.
In all theese two years of learning english , this is one of the best videos i've ever seen , congratulations buddy
That was fabulous 😭😭😭😭😭❤️ I've just watched 3 videos of you and I decided that you're the greatest teacher I've ever seen
Thanks! I'm glad you like my videos!
The real teacher. The more I watch the more I love your way. You are my English Dad.
I want to say that I subscribed your channel about 3 years ago. I haven't watched lot of your video but every single video I watched are high-quality. You are the best English teacher I have ever known in my life. Thank you for everything ❤️
I love the theory of the ‘affective filter’ when learning a second language. When I went to school, I couldn’t stand learning French and had no passion with the language but when I was introduced to Korean, I found my passion. Language is a passion and an art. I enjoy learning the constructs of Korean grammar but I love enjoy communicating with my Korean friends but focus less on grammar. I’m a firm believer in interaction to develop confidence in language production and comprehensible input to aid language acquisition. Thanks Christian for the great video.
man u r a legend. I began to watch your videos and don't take it in a wrong way but i fall in love of your methods to explain how to learn a new languages. thanks a lot for be a trust person and tell us the real things about learn a new lenguages. u got a new follower of ur videos.
Hello Christian. I'm very happy to learn English with your class. I'am 50 years old and I think is more difficult to learn a new lenguage when your are not young, but is not impossible. I'm enjoying while I learn my new lenguage as you told us. This is my challenge. Thanks for yours advices.
I really love your way you teach English on CZcams. Your channel deserves million subscribers.
The best persons you can learn everything from are those who you can look at them as a friend and you're one of those guys.
tnx.
Thanks Hosein! I'm really honoured that you would consider me as a friend. Let's keep learning together!
Hosein Keshavarz rightly said
Hi Christian! I couldn't resist watching this video as I had a feeling you'd be taking fluency in another direction. As a fellow English teaching colleague, I find your approach so refreshing. Even here on CZcams, I emphasize fostering community, helping people feel relaxed and open to improving, and try to avoid false promises. In the end, I believe anyone can become fluent if you're willing to put in the work and take action - that's how I became fluent in Spanish even after years of "knowing" what I needed to do. I also find the emphasis on "fluency secrets" quite frustrating - all of my discussions of fluency center around identifying your needs and goals. While I don't think selling courses is a bad thing - all education receives funding from somewhere - they are not THE answer, they are simply ONE answer. Thank you for being a voice of reason and wisdom for your community and setting high standards for our teaching community as well.
Hi Kim! Thanks so much for your comment, it really means a lot to me. I'm only interested in the truth, and because I personally have nothing to sell it frees me to be able to speak my mind. However, I agree 100% that selling courses is not necessarily a bad thing, and the real enemy is false promises! Let's work together to call them out when we see them! Thanks so much for your support!
English with Kim hi
English with Kim hi
I subscribe to your channel just hearding your way to speak
Hi Christian, after for years when i watched this video for the first time and my comprehention level was so short, nowadays, i appreciate a lot your effort for me and for all over the students who want to become fluent.
Thank you, my friend, thank you!!
Hi Cristhian, I've watched the entire playlist Ramdon & fun. You are a legend! Congrats!
Thankyou Many Important and Useful Words
Teacher, I did love your video! You´re a true master because you´re honest,genuine and simple. Keep up the great work!
I love the way how you are speaking....it's so clear for me that i'm still learning. I appreciate it
One of the best videos about language learning that I've watched here on CZcams. It was really helpful, because most of people who are obsessed about learning a language just want someone to tell them that they will get it easily, without much effort. The type of people who seek for this kind of information are mostly lazy ones. And it's hard to find guys like you around here, because people don't want to hear the truth. There is no way to learn something without practice, effort and investing time. And the most important: YOU MUST ENJOY WHAT YOU ARE DOING! (Sorry for my bad English).
You are amazing teacher...I'm Brazilian and the fan number one of your channel....
Christian you very cool and fun guy, I'm learning a lot with you... God bless you and your family...
Thanks Danilo, that's very kind. I'm really glad you're learning a lot with me!
I really like your idea about language learning. I can't stop watching your videos, and they all give me a lot of courage and confidence to speak fluent English. Thank Christian!!!
Hi Lın
I'm looking for a speaking partner to practice and improve my English speaking skills
I wonder if you are interested in
Thank you so much! Really good your method! I understand everything! I can't believe that!
What a lovely video, once again. Fluency is like learning to play an instrument, you get better by doing it.
I agree 100%!
Your title suggests a video for language students, but it's arguably more useful for teachers. As a teacher I'm inspired by your videos. As always it's great to see your passion and desire to connect.
Thanks Nick. I really appreciate your kind words!
You are a great teacher, I learnt how to teach from this video.
Excelente.
Gostei da sua dicção.
Bem clara. Muito boa para entender. Muito bom.
Until now you're the best in this! You speak so clear than i think i've got all to improve. Thanks a lot! See u next class :) greetings from Perú.
The best motivational English class ever! Thanks!
I understood most of your conversation because you speak clearly and slowly! Thank you for this video.
Take love from Bangladesh🇧🇩 sir
Dear Chris! Thank you so much for that, you could tuch with your attitude, may I say: all student motivation and interesting to your English classroom! Thank you so much for it! Zoltan Bak from Hungary :) I wish you and your family all the best in the future! :)
Dear Chris. I'm Cassia, from Brazil. I can feel your dedication and emotion for teaching your native language for us ! And then we are motivated by learning too! I don't study English at school , only by myself, in order to speak with people from others countries, because I want to travel as soon as possible. Thank you very much, and God bless you! See you in the class!
I like your trueness.. I found you as real as I am... Thanks to be here on social media 👍👍✌️✌️
My pleasure Charanjit! I try my best to be honest.
Hi Christian! I "met" you in Juan Luis' video a few moments ago and I'm writing in to say "congratulations and thank you" for telling it as it is. I've been learning Spanish for a few years now but still lack the fluency. So I need to practice, practice, practice. Thank you again, and do keep safe! Un abrazo fuerte desde Manila, Filipinas! :)
That's why I love ur videos! As a teacher, I can see that you really know what you're doing, so I can rely on you. Thanks for the very good explanation ;)
Thanks for this amazing video!! you are a very devoted teacher and a kind person, for that reason you deserve all the best.
Thanks Gustavo, that's very kind. I try my best!
Probably the best lesson of english i have ever had.
Thanks for your kind words!
Dear Christian, your lessons are always interesting. The most interesting one in your lesson is your humour. Thanks.
I learn English as my favourite hobby. I have beed doing so for several years, everyday, all year round. Enjoyment is the best ingredient of the recipe that will lead you to the knowledge of English. I am a self taught. I succeded. Thank you very much, Christian.
Eu gosto muito de assistir teus videos, porque teu ingles é muito claro, além de pegar dicas, eu também pratico muito "listening" com seus videos. Thanks a lot Christian ^^
"fluency is the result of playing the game"
You are the best teacher in Europe. Best regards from Brazil.
Dear Christian I think the best process it´s when we use our emotions so we can speak spontaneously,for example:why do we learn swearing in any language?Think about it mate...Cos´we use our emotions,now imagine you are speaking spanish but not swear words,but real feelings, sensations concerning to the survival mode,that´s the way you´ll connect ur very idiosyncracy and empirical ´´self´´!Your channel is second to none on the whole u tube!Great job!
I think you really are the best English teacher in the world, because is true and I am agree with you, learning English is a hard work. I am learning English every day with you and others resources in Internet. Thanks a lot Cristian you're rock. 👍👍👍👊👊👊✌✌✌
Thanks Juan, that's very kind. I'm glad you're learning a lot every day! If you keep going I will too!
Juan: I think so,
Thank you so much. It is life time to learn any language. When it is part of life, more joy and fun rather than suffering. Totally agree with you that learning language is the very much like learning chess. Practice it ! Use it ! And learn from mistakes.
Hi!
Would u like to practise english...?
I'm Brazilian and I'm in this process ... You've encouraged me tanks a lot
I must confess that this video is the most motivating one I have ever watched. Your ideas which are pertaining to learning English must be widely disseminated all across the world
Your the best teacher in the world
...
You're not your
Hi, Be Phenomenal Or Be Forgotten,
sameer salihy may be right. His full sentence may look like this: Your the best teacher in the world (is Christian). :)
Hehehehe, I'll take the compliment either way!
I'm so glad I found your channel! You're a very good teacher because you don't teach - you help to learn! Everybody can talk about rules, grammatical structures and so on but not everybody can give real tips and recommendations for learning languages. Thanks a lot for your videos!
you are the best teacher on youtube ! I use all the tips and they help me! Thanks for your great diction!
Thank you for that video Christian, it absolutely makes sense. Your style of presenting the subject is so clear, concise and interesting.
Speaking English you are better than Gasparov but playing chess I don't know! I'm sorry great teacher. You are really great as a teacher and very funny. I like the way you comunicate with your studants.
Playing chess I am worse than my 3-year-old son!
"You are the learning language machine" 😃
you same
The best classe ever... thank you
i have listened to millions of videos talking how to improve your english and honestly this is the first time i have listening to something really useful not just as many advise i have heard. (your ways to make the idea and subject understanding for listers are so so talented and smart )thanks keep doing the hard work i'm a big fan now😊
Christian: "...The next thing we need to talk about is... grandma"
Me: " 0_o. Ok, maybe I misheard. Let's try with subtitles..."
Subtitles: "the next thing we need to talk about is Grandma"
:)
:´) jajaja
I heard Grandma
@@snoopywoopsie2066 Me too
@@catalanguitar14 u from Brazil right
Me 2 😂😂
"Grandma will not give you a fluency". I always knew it, always... Thanks.
A teacher with an angel's soul . Thank you !
Absolutely agree with Christian. Motivation is a golden key. Just want to add one more an important aspect. It's a music. When a language sounds like a music that you like you will enjoy the process of learning.
Amazing videos.
I'm student of the English. I'm from Brazil, I need speak in English fast. My plan is speak in three months.
Maicon Santana como anda o empenho? Eu to no mesmo pensamento, tenho que estar fluente até agosto/setembro
Olá meu amigo. Meus planos mudaram e parei de estudar inglês. Mas quem tem perspectiva de um dia sair do Brasil, então aconselho que se dedique no aprendizado do idioma. Consigo ler e escrever um pouco em Inglês. Mas o que precisa ficar fera msm é o listerning

The best teacher I ever seen
There is no words to say how much I thank you :) finally man who explain in scientifically how to learn and said true about "english teachers".
For a moment I thought he was saying grandma rule. I thought I have missed a rule in English all these years.🤪🤪🤪🤪
So you're in Spain huh? :D I'm thinking about moving there... Spain is like the european version of china...so many language schools, its crazy
I'm here in Spain now! There are a lot of language schools. A lot are shutting down because of covid. Online is a great opportunity to learn!
Teacher. Congratulations!!! Your work is fantastic! Thank you!!
My compliments and a big thank you! You are a very intelligent person! You know how people think and how to reproduce the topics in that way!! Best teacher.
How to get fluent in English.
Step one: Correct video to "How to become fluent in English"
It's not in English it's at English.
@@keyboardwarrior.2741 To me, saying "I'm good at English" implies that you are talking about a school subject. "I'm good in English" or "My English is good" talks about your abilities in the language itself.
@@pavlosakharov3837
I'm just fuckin around mate.
It's me or just I heard clearly "grandma" instead "grammar"
It’s his accent he’s British. The brits drop the r sound at the end of words if there isn’t a vowel. Sister becomes sistah. Grammar becomes grammah. You tell with practice and context.
You are not alone
Yes, you need to learn about your grandma to become fluent in English. No one is able to become fluent in English without studying the life of their grandmas. 😅
@@georgegrant6796 haha
I am from Brazil, I´m on the way of improve my english, i´m loving this channel, you´re amazing! I´ve been learning so much with you, things that I already have intution about and you brougt light to me. You´re professional and honest, Thank you so much Christian, God Bless you!
Sir, You convinced , impressed and taught us how to be a fluent speaker. Thakns a lot.
So, I'm a language learning machine…
Ok, then I'll start to study machine learning language.
grandma will not give you fluency

Most of them are native speakers , and now I'm live in Bolivia , for my obtain fluency is a BIg goal , I am lawyer in my country , but miss those years , and my advice is NEVER GIVE UP !!!
