- Hello everyone and Welcome or Welcome back to my channel!!!
I hope you all are doing fine ❤ ❤ ❤
I know it's been a while since the last time I uploaded a video...but I hope I'll manage to upload more frequently from now on!
In this video I'm talking about how I became fluent in English and why I struggled to get there. Because even after having spent years of learning the language, I still couldn't speak it, despite being able to understand it.
So, I hope this video is going to help at least some of you to also FINALLY become fluent in the language you're learning!!

Hey up :)
Very useful video :)
Yeah, it was my problem too. Well... it still is, but not so big. I think the biggest barrier is - the fear for making mistakes. The best way is - just using the language. I'v never learned English (just Russian, German, Latin, a bit of Greek and Croatian), but from 10 years I live in the UK. The beginning wasn't easy but I've never give up. Everything I've done by myself (like opening a bank account, all of "official" things etc). I work with English people only and I had no choice - I had to use English every day. My language barrier crashed quite quick. I know I make mistakes and I got moments when I'm struggling - mostly because of grammar. But I think - the most important thing is to break this fear. And use the language all the time. Watching films, listening podcasts, music etc. And a good exercise is - when you go somewhere (to work, or for shopping, whatever) - talk to yourself (loudly or just in your head) and say what you see, what you passed, comment situations or things what you meet (for example: on this bus stop is a red bus, pedestrians waits for the green light, this blue dress in the shop window looks beautiful, or your shopping list, etc etc). If you don't know some word - write it down in your language and then check it later and use it to complete your story :) The more you will use the language - the faster you wll learn it :) It works for me, you can try this way :) And even guys at work told me my English is much much better than before. We can have conversations about anything (sometimes I have to check some words, or - if I don't know some word - I try to say that "around" - by describing something, it works well too and helps to break the fear, plus - you learn more words and you shows "the intelligence of conversation").
Have a nice day :)
PS. Subscribed ;)
Yeah, using the language whenever you can really makes you improve a lot. And especially when you HAVE to use the language. I'm really happy for you that you've learned and improved so much...and always remember, grammar isn't the most important thing!! And thanks for the sub, I really appreciate it!!😊
i just got recommded your video and it is so helpful
That's great!! I'm really happy the video was helpful!! 😊
I really like this video and I would like to add chatgpt voice and PI Ai voce to this list, both apps for practicing speaking!
I'm happy you liked the video!! ☺️ and these are definitely great...I use chatgpt almost every day 😉
Your English is spectacularly good, especially for someone who's never had conversations with any native English speakers. I only speak English so I'm not 100% certain if it's correct but I'm pretty sure English is "backwards" to other languages as well, so it must be really difficult for people to learn English as a second language.
Thank you!! 😊 and it's true that English can also be really hard to learn. Since German is my native language, English wasn't extremely hard to learn for me since both of the languages are not entirely different from one another (e.g. the word order in sentences, the tenses etc) It always depends on your native language... However, actually becoming fluent in English was a whole different story for me😅
please post more videos in English and German as well.
I'd love to do that!!😊 What kind of videos would you like to see? What kind of videos in German?
This is Exactly my problem.
I mean like i can write very well but when it comes to speaking ,i don't speak that fluently.
Btw do you have a discord account where we can all connect with each other?
So relatable, this had been my problem for years, I could write pretty well, but I couldn't speak. I simply lacked the practice. And no, unfortunately, I don't have a discord...my channel is pretty small, so I don't think a lot of people would join 😅...maybe one day though 🤔
Yeah, it's a good idea! :)
One thing teacher you are looking extremely beautiful gorgeous 😍
Wow, thank you!! ☺️
I am began so speech slow
I also started speaking slowly. The more you practice, the better you will get!! 💯
Where are you from..mam
I'm from Germany 🇩🇪
