Hi Luca, I'm beginner in English. My English is pretty basic. I don't understand almost anything in this interview but I keep practicing my listening. Keep calm and never give up
Good luck!
Keep going practicing your English. Keep going learning new words and training your listening skills. Never give up.
I'm impresive of how you write so well without understand almost anything about the content, because I'm beginner too and i understood almost everything they said, and perhaps you are better at writing than me hahahah
@@casadatribo7208 That's it! Each one develops their best skill. My goal is to improve my listening
@@GabrielaMarmo i hope you can achieve your goals Gabriela, i wish the best of luck to us :D
O Mairo ser chamado de o melhor professor de inglês do Brasil pelo Luca Lampariello é uma mega honra... E o luca tem razão, Mairo é mesmo... Eu gosto muito dos dois.
Luca, you and Mairo are fantastic. Thank you very much. Mairo is the best teacher in Brazil.
Vergara conversa em inglês raramente,isso é muito inspirador e esclarecedor pelo fato de que evidencia ser possível falar inglês muito bem aprendendo sozinho em casa,top demais esse vídeo!
Mairo é exemplar.Maravilhoso!!!
Aprendeu Inglês quando adulto,nunca viajou para países em que o Inglês é a língua oficial e é fluente.
Quebra o tabu sobre a necessidade do intercâmbio e principalmente,tornou-se fluente quando não havia internet.
@@narachacon2473 Pse esse é um dos motivos de eu admirar o Mairo!!!
Watching this conversation between you guys represents a lot to me since you've been my role model during all my English journey, along with Steve Kaufmann, Olly Richards, and Lydia Machova. I'm also Brazilian. I started studying all by myself in 2015 and now I'm an English teacher, preparing myself to take the CELTA exam. It's so good to see you all guys together! I don't know if you know this Luca but Mairo Vergara has always complimented you in some of his videos, claiming you're the best polyglot in the world. You guys have always been an inspiration to me. You rock!
Cara, to estudando há 3 meses freneticamente (cerca de 3/4 horas por dia) e acabei de ficar MUITO feliz por entender completamente seu comentário! Há 3 meses atrás eu saberia, no máximo, umas 5 palavras soltas do que você digitou. É muito gratificante ver que estamos evoluindo! Good vibes for you, man!
@@Cesar-dz9pv Keep it up bro! É isso aí! Aprender outra língua é uma das melhores coisas do mundo. Paciência e dedicação leva qualquer um pra lugares inimagináveis!
Congratulations. Your English is excellent. Good luck on your CELTA.
Até sendo entrevistado o Mário é engraçado. kkkk
Mario is, indeed, a good teacher, not just an english teacher, but one who teach how to learn languages, and that is beyond of teaching english. Besides, I like both interviews and thank you so much for sharing your learning routine, it's gave a lot of insights and help us in our own journey to learn a language.
Mairo touched in the right point about why brazilians can't learning english !👏👏👏
Thank you very much Luca, for to bring us this great brazilian teacher in this interview!
You both are great examples and inspirational models for us!!🤜🤛👍
can't learning???
🇧🇷 Mairo was the first one who told me (in his videos) about the importance of 'input' method. I'm really thankful because of that!! He IS the best English teacher in Brazil!!
Sim, o melhor! ✂️✂️✂️
A great conversation between two intelligent people with great insights. I hadn't heard of Mairo before. He really knows this topic well!
I from in northern of Brazil and I'm larning english, hi guys good luck for u.
my dear wise men, I saw the two interviews and you are to be congratulated, I'm your student, great MAIRO VERGARA, now I'm a fan of LUCAS for his humility.
I'm learning english with mairo and can understand full interview.
The best english teacher 💡🇧🇷
He introduced me to an independent learning process of languages when I was 13 hehehe. I'm 19 now, I speak English/German proficiently and Spanish at B1.
@Zane Goebel - Everyday Indonesian Makasih, teman saya.
@Zane Goebel - Everyday Indonesian Saya berbicara sedikit bahasa indonesia juga :). Itu jeli.
Wow, it's amazing, i would like to be like you, i'm fourteen now, i'm studying english since August 🥰
@@taehan_ Congratulations!
I’m 17 and I speak English fluently, my native language is Portuguese, and when I realized that I was fluent in English, I got hooked up on watching a lot of things in English and I started thinking like that everyone from the globe spoke English too but that’s not true, however now I see that there are plenty people trying to learn English and that’s why I don’t feel like I should learn other languages that aren’t gonna benefit myself in nothing, who knows one day I might wanna learn another language
Excelent, thank you guys
Great interview! Thank you guys!
Amazing interview!
You're both awesome! I loved this conversation!
You two are the best! Love it
I've been waiting for this video for so long! Both of you have been contributing a lot to the language learning community. Thanks, masters!
For those , like me , who live in Brazil is very difficult not to know mairo . He's one of the first to really teach English on CZcams in a good and fun way in Brazil . I learned his method just by watching his videos and nowadays I have an intermediate English because I've been working on it . You've said a lot of great things and it's really amazing to see how people we like also have struggles with learning . Thhhhx . Brow , you have a fucking good pronunciation !!!
Fantastic interview 👏
Very good! Luca thank you!
Ive been studying english for the last 2 years and 7 months by following Mario's methods and Im having a great progress
You and Mairo are fantastic! Great interview with the best teacher in Brazil. I'm watching all of your videos and learning a lot. Thank you very much.
It was an amaizing interview. Thanks Luca tanks Mairo
I've been learning english since in high school, but didn't get better until I watched Luca's videos on youtube a year ago then I practice everything Luca's advice about language learning. Now I can watch this video without subtitle and I can even listen to the audio alone while doing something else. Thank you Luca, you're really a great language coach and youtuber. I really hope to see you in person in the future. 😁
Aguardando o vídeo nos dois canais 😍
The method Mairo Vergara developed to teach English is absolutely brilliant! My grandma is his student and I’ve been helping her with practical stuff (such as adding cards into anki). And I can say It works pretty much very well and the stories he selected are really really fun and keep the learners motivated to go ahead with studying the language.
Wow I'm impressed to know your grandma is learning English.
Thank you for tell us your experiences, they help us to improve our English, and it is a motivation to continue
Fantastic conversation! I'm very happy that I understood every single word you guys said and I'd like to say that I loved it, thank you Luca and thank you Mairo for being such a good teacher and help a lot of students like me! I hope to become fluent as you both :)
Luca, I'm so eager to read your book about your way of learning languages and life.🙃
Every video I watch on language learning it always comes back to input. Input, input input. It’s how I learned Italian for the past year. And when I had grammar questions, I looked up videos on this points. Input is SO important. A great Video. Grazie per tutto quello che fai Luca. 👍🏼
I understood everything that you said! It's awesome! I study english every single day! Mairo your english sounds quite good!
Parabéns Lucas q Deus te conserve com essa inteligencia..
I am very happy to understand this interview! Thanks to Mairo Vergara for that!
C’etait un entretien excellent 😍 Merci tous les deux 🙏💓
I am going to follow your teachings Luca, I am feeling kind of comfortable with my english, so I will move on my other target. Thanks for your teachings Luca. Great interview.
Amazing interview, Lucca and Mairo are the best
Guys this video is simply delighful!!! 👏👏👏Thanks for so many good advices!! Smart conversation!
awesome interview. I started learning English watching his videos. i really liked his method and everything.
Hi Luca. Being a brazilian myself too, I kind of had a similar experience as Mario's one. I "finished" the english school, and got my "certificate" (double quotes necessary here lol) but I was terrible at speaking it. It got it improved automatically by using it, little by little. But the real improvement came after I tried to learn a little bit of russian, because I had a trip to Russia and I knew it was going to be hard - it was before the World Cup, so no hopes for english speakers back then, and then russian language made me realized that english was not so hard 😅.
After that, I started learning french and I went from zero to fluency. That took me about 4 years. In those 4 years I learned two things: 1. english is indeed an easy language when you compare it to the others, specially russian. 2. being a student again I wouldn't make the same mistakes as the first time I was struggling with the foreign monster, so the "rules" kinda applied to both french and english, such as completly forget about portuguese for anything but the necessary and then english got a LOT better since then.
funny thing. It really works 😁
Thank you for the interview
It was welcomed.
I took the Mairo Vergara 3.0 English course, and what he really does is to teach how to learn languages.
And the funniest thing was that after I finished up the course, I had a lot of expertise on learning languages that I decided to study french by my self
I was just looking for something to practice my listening, and suddenly i found these guys, amazing video.
I've learned a lot during my english journey with mairo!
Hi Lucas thank you 🙏 for this videos, Help me a lot to practice what I want to learn. I live in NY but has been very difficult learning the language. I’m do understand everything you are talking about, but my mayor problem is speaking. To feel confortable I’m gonna star reading more often. Thank you gays
This conversation about language is very important to me, because I could understand English and help me in my journey to learn a language.
Yes, Mairo is the best english teacher in Brazil, I agree! And wow, in this video I can see how Mairo speak and understand english very well, and didn't known Luca yet, but Mairo is a big inspiration for me!
I started learning english in 2017, thanks mairo
the first video that i watched was mairos´s
i love u haha
Eu amo tanto o trabalho dos dois. São uma inspiração pra mim.
When teaching Spanish to Americans I find it is really helpful to explain the usage of the Subjunctive. When and why to use it and the types of verbs that trigger it. Same with the differences of imperfecto and pretérito. Saber y conocer, por y para...
Muito top esse video! Adorei!
*Amazing interview👊*
Amazing Interview
Vocês são Top demais 👏👏👏👏
This video increase my motivation and tips how to learn english everyday and don't to follow desire to learn english just twice a week but try to learn english everyday and we can fluent in english. thanks for make this video☺️☺️
Is so amazing for me understand 90% this conversation. I beginning study alone after study in many language school. The truth is not a secret, listen english radio every day, read every day and try speak.
You will see the magic it happens
By: caíque
great interview
I'm an EFL English in Rio. Love this video and couldn't agree more with Mr Vergara.
Mairo is amazing, he changed my life
I'm from Brazil, Luca i've been following you for so long, i would like suggest a video with teacher Prix, she is from Brazil as well, and she is the only one brazilian english teacher on youtube who teach english in english, she is só kind besides that she is a great english teacher.
She is wonderful, but not the only one, search for English with Patricia.
Reminder for you, you said, in this video, that you would make a video, showing your disagreements with Krashen theories. That would be an awesome video because I agree with you that a small percentage of what Krashen says is off.
Looking forward to your video.
I intend to get fluent in English on 2023. But I must study every day and I can't give up that. I have to listen a lot of things in English.
*by 2023 ;)
Hi Luca, thanks for the great conversation. I'm a huge fan. You mentioned here 29:30 that you're going to add some links in the description. But I can't see any, would you please add those so we can read those studies as well. I highly appreciate it. thanks.
Done 😌
Hello from Boston and a fellow English teacher on CZcams 😊
I'm signed up, Luca!
Muito bom ter um palestra para ver as duvidas
Very inspiring video!!
I came to China 11.5 years ago with zero knowledge of teaching English. I had written a few books (not language-related) that were endorsed by some mega-bestselling authors, but I had no ESL teaching experience. My original plan was to come to China, teach for a year, experience the people and the culture, and go back to the U.S. However, I saw a huge need for English training and I jumped in with both feet and started by teaching 32 classes a week to primary and middle school kids. I also picked up some medical doctors and a few business executives as students who were planning to come to the U.S. for specialized training at Harvard and Johns Hopkins. I was teaching, eating, and sleeping with no time for anything else.
I read Dr. Stephen Krashen's book, 'The Natural Approach to Language Learning' and started reading every book I could find on teaching and learning languages. Most importantly, in addition to the classes I was teaching (teachers here thought I was insane for teaching so many classes), I was spending several hours a week in Chinese English teachers' classes observing what they were doing (right and wrong). That alone was an education for me.
In the first year and a half, I read over 40 books on teaching ESL and language learning. I developed my own style.
My results were beyond my imagination. I helped one doctor get accepted into Harvard Medical School (she wanted to earn an M.D. in America so that she could be certified in America) and another into a world-class program at Johns Hopkins. I started attracting elite students and started seeing their test scores rise dramatically. I also got some average students and was seeing the same results. One of the first students I had shortly after coming here is now teaching at UCLA. Two other students are in doctorate programs at Princeton and the University of Maryland.
I also received various teaching awards that no foreign teacher had ever been awarded in the history of this province. I was getting interviewed by local and regional television networks and one of them even did a short documentary about me and my work. The predominant national network, Central China Television Network, picked up the short documentary and ran it nationally numerous times.
I allowed the parents of these kids to decide my fees and they were paying me 4 times as much as other foreign teachers here. I found myself alienated from other foreign teachers as most of them weren't really serious about teaching English. It was a way that they could earn money while traveling. I understood that because that was more or less my own plan and purpose for coming to China. But, my plan changed.
To date, I and my team have put kids in top colleges throughout the world. Our average Chinese student who takes the SAT has scored 1530. Our average TOEFL student has scored 110. We have succeeded to a level that is far above anything I ever imagined. I now find myself tutoring and training Asian English teachers (most of them are Chinese). Most of all, I've had the time of my life.
Hi, I'm Brazilian and Mario Vergara has been teaching English for us almost every days.
Salute from Brazil 🇧🇷
The teacher was right when he replied, "I'm not the best teacher. I'm a good teacher." Indeed, there is no such a thing as being the best teacher. That would be way too pretentious no matter how good you really are at the language. Everyone knowing the language well is just "good" at it. No one is "the best". The only "best" is for native speakers as they have it as mother tongue, but even so, it is widely known that natives also make mistakes.
I agree 100%! Excellent point Augusto.
Mairo is a legend, the best in brazil. I am so pround of him here.
Luca is so mature and experient!
I agree in everything that you said!
On Mairo's comment about not having too many opportunities to actually speak English, I (also Brazilian) have been playing Squad for a little while now, and it's been good English practice with plenty of native speakers. Squad is this multiplayer military simulator kinda game, with a very heavy emphasis on team play and communicating with your team (by voice, with a microphone) at _all_ times; just watch the channel Karmakut to have a sample of it. I am kind of a nerd with military stuff, but I did have to study some comms guides for the game. I do consider myself a fluent English speaker for most normal conversation situations, and can discuss complex ideas and whatnot, but in the game in the middle of "combat" I can actually get quite caught up finding the words to describe the features of where I saw "enemy" players moving around or firing from. I actually watch videos on the game and watch native speakers play to get an even better picture of how they communicate and what words they use. It's actually _great_ practice, and since it's a game with plenty of servers up I can play it pretty much everyday. And, again, I get to speak and talk all kinds of trash with real native speakers, lol. Having grown up learning English with video games, they have always been my number one resource for language learning.
...Except for Japanese. I can totally relate with Mairo having trouble with Japanese. You can't get comprehensible input with Japanese without having studied quite a bit of it first. It made me put off learning other languages for so long because I always assumed they'd be as much trouble as Japanese has been. But Italian as I start to learn it is just so much easier (for a native Portuguese speaker) it's off the charts, lol
I think in some languages dedicated vocabulary study is actually very helpful for active reproduction of a word. If I read a lot, I may recognize the word, but in some languages I can’t necessarily remember how to write it or even the precise pronunciation. Even if I listen a lot I can’t always remember exactly how to pronounce it. But doing too much and neglecting other aspects is a problem. In the last few years I’ve been learning Spanish and I’ve felt no need ro practice the vocabulary so far . But I’ve also studied a lot of tonal languages and for them I need a little special attention to the words to properly learn them.
👏👏👏 muito bem!
When i decided to learn german, i took an intesive course for a month and i learned a lot. After that i tried learning by mysled and failed. Than i decided to return to my tutor and with her I also improved a lot. But my money wasn't enough to keep taking tutoring, so now I'm on my fourth german learning spree by myself
Olá Lucas vim do canal do Mairo, faz um video de grego em português, se possível, agradeço verdadeiramente🙏
I am fifty six years old! I started studying english when I was thirty years old in 1996!
Luca Lampariello I understood very well your interview. About Mairo, for his students, not is necessary comments, because his method is very effective. But is hard, so is necessary that you study a lot. How Mairo spoke, no has promise with "magic powder" to you learn, it is necessary much study and dedication. Thanks for the interview. Ps.: sorry for my poor write, I'm a student in learning.
I have been learning English for eight months, and I can understand it conversation, and I would like to learn French the next year, and I don’t know, because I need to improve my write ✍🏼 and I need to read more books, but I don’t like it hehe, Great video😊
Wow that was impressive when he said he only gets to speak English like 1x a year...his English is excellent.
really he is!!
Mario, your pronunciation is great with very good almost native north american accent.
I still think I suck when it comes to pronunciation 😆
Luca e Mairo muito bom o video
I 100% agree, to learn English you need to be consistence and of course there's no limit to learn English and say yeah I did it I'm done know I'm fluent! I mean you need to learn every day for at least 3years to be good not excellent but just good.
If you don't know WHY you're learning English you'll have a hard time and you'll quit sooner.
As pessoas têm dificuldade para aprender inglês aqui no Brasil porque o brasileiro tem um QI médio de 83 pontos. Mal sabemos o português direito. Somos o país que joga jogo do tigrinho. Basta olhar para os políticos em quem votamos.
nice!!!!
I thought that would be Shaina Oliveira from Espresso English
i love mairo
Hi Luca! I'm Brazilian and speak Portuguese, Spanish, English, and I study German (A2). I agree that motivation is the most important aspect of learning a foreign language but, to continue being motivated is important to realize the progress you had. In my opinion, this is very difficult because when you study a programming language for example, in one week is very easy for everyone to see the evolution. But learning a foreign language is a slower process and more difficult to perceive the results. What are your tips for someone to realize the evolution? Thanks a lot for your explanations. Regards.
Roberto, eu tenho gravado minhas leituras de texto e ouvido, tem me motivado
@@machinesandbusiness Ótima ideia. Que idioma você está estudando no momento? Obrigado e um abraço.
Mairo is my teacher!!! He's aewsome !!!
I born in Kazakhstan, so i'm fluent in kazakh, russia languages and im b2 in English. I can use 3 completely different languages just cause i born here , i feel overpowered due to knowing 3 various languages instead of native 1
Hola feliz noche desde Colombia, estuve viendo tus videos y te agradezco mucho los mensajes que das, me di cuenta que tienes razón frente a la forma de aprender y contigo he descubierto que mi problema con el ingles se refiere es a que no sé como aprender. me cuesta muchsisimo retener palabras de memoria y llevo muchisismos años intentando aprender le meto ganas y no sé porque no se me da, es por eso que he pensado ya en no perder tiempo y vicularme a una escuela en colombia para estudiar ingles formalmente, me gustaría saber si me puedes aconsejar. Estaré super pendiente. Gracias :) Feliz finde
This title is amazing, I love Mario's course, and I am learning English since 6 months, and I can really feel my improvement
sucesso pra vc luca
In my view, it's so curious Mairo speaking english, i'm saying it, because in his videos, he Just teach english in portuguese, i would Like to wacht he speaking more english.
On whether or not you need grammar… I learned Portuguese with no grammar study, because I already speak Spanish. I think it very much depends on how similar it is, like Luca says. (To be fair, anything in the past tense is a hot mess.) However, you do need grammar and explanation for languages that are further off. Like, I teach Japanese and there are some concepts that do not really transfer automatically. Take the words for siblings. If you came across “oniisan” and you realize that is the brother, speakers of most Western languages are probably going to assume that is the only word for brother. We are not going to wonder if this word specifically means an older brother or younger, or if it means my brother or your brother, or whether we use that word in direct address …. We don’t make those differentiations, so we don’t look for them. These sorts of things need a little explanation. However, once you know the concept exists, you’ll do pretty well at picking it out.
