"When you learn a new language, you become part of the community of that language." I was moved by this part because, for the first time, I felt within that community.🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵

The best professor of English I have seen. Thanks Christian.

Another advantage of rephrasing is, that you show to your communication partner that you have been listening and are actively trying to understand what they are saying.

The best English teacher ever. My self confidence has grown exponentially after this lesson.

Christian, you are simply formidable in teaching. You have a gift from God for teaching. Greetings from Brazil.

I’m from Brazil and I understand everything you say. Thank you very much for your patience, help and English tips!

I'm a woman 73 years old and love to learn English. I like your way of explaining! Thanks a lot, Christian! Please, go on!

Thank you for the lessons! I am from Ukraine and now very hard to learn anything, but there are lessons gives light 👍

Thanks for helping me so much. I am from Venezuela and I am 55 years old and I have been learning English on my own for a year and I already understand almost everything that you say, but I still cannot speak fluently, with your videos I have learned a lot and they are great, I would like to one day enroll in your courses , Thanks again.

Hah! I did that pretending I understood something today. But hear me out. I was driving our Ukrainian teenager from school to his new home today. He was saying something, but still speaks quite quietly, and I just didn't catch what he was saying. I pretended I didn't hear properly so he repeated himself - and I still didn't understand what he was saying. But ... obviously English isn't his first language (although he's pretty good at it now), but he's only really started talking to us in the past 6 months or so, and I valued his spontaneous communication more than possibly making him feel embarrassed by correcting him / asking him to repeat himself again. And I was driving, so needed to concentrate on that. So yes, I pretended I understood what he was saying on this occasion in order to keep the conversation lines open.

Thank you for the video. Very interesting and useful. For me exactly . Glad to see your wife. Greetings from Ukraine.

Well done this lesson teacher. God bless you. Clap clap from Mozambique

I have listened to several teachers on RU-vid and I feel that Christian is the kindest person. I mean that this is a type of kindness what goes from heart to heart. Every word is so soft. Even me, who speaks Russian all my life , feels everything Christian says deeply inside. Thank you, Christian, for your wisdom. Your words calm down our brains and minds. We can breath freely and move forward to our dreams!

You are amazing ❤❤❤

Your way of teaching is like meditation, entirely different from others. I can feel your positive vibes. Keep up the great work! Ananda.

Your videos are always precious for all of us who want to improve their English

de lo mejor que he visto. LEJOS. Gracias totales por haberte conocido

I’m so grateful for your videos! For years, I have been struggling with my insecurities speaking English, spending time and money trying to improve. Nothing worked until I found your videos with your kind, simple and wise advices. Automatically, my fluency improved, my insecurity and shame are gone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

The best teacher in youtube! thanks🙏🏻

🎉🎉🎉hello everyone!!! Good evening ❤

Thanks. Do you know how great person you are? A lot.

😂😂 i understood from the call ❤ the end woow ❤

"Never make fun of someone's accent. It just means that person knows his native language on top of yours"

Lovely speech at the end of the lesson and wonderful music. Thank you . I really enjoyed it. 👍👏🤝

Thank you Christian for sharing your wisdom

Communication is a two-way street! ; ) Thanks so much for sharing this video with us and have a good Sunday, Christian!

How come you only have four hundred thousand subscribers? It's a good channel for learning! Thank u so much.

Hello, for me it is a pleasure to have discovered your channel I have cried watching some of your videos, as I am studying Danish and I was giving up as it is a bit difficult language and I was having a hard time trying to understand and apply it, from the bottom of my heart thank you very much for making these videos, you are the best English educator I have ever seen.

I think my level is almost enough to use those techniques without such explaining. But it is not important because I love to listen to Christian!

It's amazing how teacher Christian is able to motivate us in our journey to learning English.

You are the best teacher I ever see,QOD bless you

Christian, I'm so glad to this excellent vídeo content. This really gave me a lot of encouragement to move forward and never give up.

Thank Christian I am Italian and your words and your teaching give me hope and determination to move forward. Because some people have mocked my Italian accent when I speak English, making me less confident. Your videos are absolutely full of energy, motivation.💪

You are the best English teacher I ever met!!!

Hi Christian. I love your videos but I have to admit I didn't watch all of them. I regularly listen to your podcasts during driving. But there's one favourite that I don't find. You speak about your favourite glass that you wanted to use only on special occasions and you didn't allow your father using it. You taught me to see the life better and the story touched my heart. Could you name this video's title again for me? I wanna share it to others. Thanks for being so wise and very intelligent.

The place you live its beautiful

Sí, me pasa en Castellano siempre.

Your channel has something of divine. Your voice is calm however encouraging at the same time, Your message is always clear and well spoken, I really love the way you think and try to convey it to others.

The Greatest Teacher

Cristian.que refrescante y valioso es verte y oírte. Gracias. Sigo aprendiendo inglés y pronto " I see you in class..."

My level is A2. I’m listening to you and understanding common sense. I try, not miss your lessons. It gives me a big useful. Thank you so much.

You are great, Christian!❤

Your pragmatic approach speaks to me. Reasking to make sure you have understood everything correctly reminds me of the Ideological Turing Test which has nothing to do with ideologies but concerns with retelling the position of your interlocutor and then asking whether you catch one's idea.

Splendid!

I really like this clear and relatively slow pronunciation, which allows me to easily listen to the topic and have time for my own thoughts at the same time. Thank you!

Good point!👍

Thanks!!!

I love your lessons ❤

Mate, that was indeed an absolute great video. The phone call part was hilarious 😂 😂😂 Congrats!
