I'm already 60+years old I'm not really fluent in English I want to learn because until now I want to have a conversation to others thank you Mr Thiago
This is my first time to listening English with Thiago RU-vidr when I listened 2 episodes I realize the episode is really good to me and also very friendly to English learner as well. Actually I am struggling with my English learning for many years, I think my English is between B1 and B2 level but I want to improve my level to C1 or C2 but I don’t know how to improve it. Thanks god I found this English with Thiago, I really happy to learn English with Thiago I hope I could join the private class❤🎉.
is inexplicable the power of this video , i am Sixteen years old , I'm from uruguay , and i see your video At the final with no subtitles, this Is my small victory , thank you for this
I am a Japanese university student. Your talk always helps me study English. And I am surprised that without spending money, you got almost completing English skills. I really respect you and try to become like you!
Because you listen more than speak;you are building your comprehensible skills without speaking, is similar that you have a book of how to drive a car -you read it ,and you can answer any questions about driving,but you can't drive in the real life. I have the same problem.
I have been learning English for one a year just by listening I feel my English has a lot improve reading is very boring for me but at the same time I like reading comments on RU-vid 😂 when you listen more speaking will come automatically This is my opinion
That is true. The more input you have, the easier it will be for you to start speaking the language. But let me give a piece of advice as a teacher: Don't neglect reading and writing! They are crucial for your development as a language learner. Thanks for watching!
I am 15 years old and I have A2-B1 level and I understood maybe 70 % of this video! This is my small victory) I hardly ever watching a long videos, but your history was so interesting for me!! Thanks for sharing, it's so motivated! (And thank you for subtitles)
Hello Thiago, I have just listened to your whole podcast - I arrived here by accident or unintentionally due to the Google algorithm. I am a native English speaker (I was born just outside the London conurbation area {literally 250 metres outside}). I listened because I thought you might have offered ideas for my ongoing journeys into both Spanish & French. You did. Can I first very much congratulate you on your proficiency in English. I would certainly score you as a C2 speaker. For what it's worth, although I _can_ tell you're not a native speaker, I _could not_ determine your native language until you stated you're Brazilian. *WELL DONE!* You have given me some food for thought in what you explained about your studies which I shall try to employ as tactics for myself. Just like you, since taking up learning Spanish, I've not been out of this country at all to go anywhere - so I practice with natives here in the UK whenever or wherever I can find some and get the opportunity. The advice I'd pass onto your students and followers is to quote Winston Churchill; quite simply - *Never give up, **_never EVER give up!_* Little by little every day, you'll get there eventually - but don't forget to enjoy the journey and laugh at the mistakes too. Although I currently speak neither French nor Spanish as well as you do English, becoming proficient in both has opened a lot of opportunities for me here in the UK just liaising with European companies who want to market their goods here (I have yet to approach the Central & South Americas). It has been worth the investment timewise and I will concur that I also derive great satisfaction in being able to read and / or understand quite complicated ideas written or spoken in both Spanish & French. _Puedo hacerlo & Je peux le faire!_ Keep it up & best wishes.
Por causa de todas as palavras né? O sotaque é claramente brasileiro, ele não tem entonação da fala como nativo, dá para perceber de cara. Entretanto, ele fala perfeitamente, não é um demérito ter sotaque.
@@LP-pd1jk meu ovo! Você é fluente em inglês? Não consegue perceber o sotaque brasileiro facilmente? E como eu disse, sotaque todos temos, alguns disfarçam, outros não. E isso não desmerece ninguém! Sai pra lá, encosto... a realidade é essa, não há o que invejar! Eu em...
I am celebrating this small victory because I understood all the content of the podcast. I am very happy! The next step that I want to achieve is to understand it completely without subtitles.
I've always lived in Mexico and went to college to learn English, but what really worked for me was having conversations with myself anywhere. I started as an English teacher, and I switched to teaching Spanish after 13 years. Best decision ever; I work from home. Now I've finally improved my English because of my interaction (at least 5 hours a day) with native students from the US. Saludos.
Congratulations Thiago for your new Channel. Your story really inspire me to keep learning english. I am on my way several years ago, and at the moment I am good in input, but my output is pretty bad. So after listen to you, I got the straingth to keep my process. Thanks a lot, and God bless you. 😊0:02
Hi Thiago! I'm Japanese living in Australia. I'm currently stuck at the B2 level, and it's really frustrating that I can't express my thoughts even though I can understand others most of the time. Instead of blaming myself for my lack of English skills, I realized I needed to celebrate my small victories in everyday life. Thank you for the great reminder! I won't give up and will keep learning with curiosity and a flexible attitude. ❤️
me either. i can't express my thoughts, my head is automatically translate from my native language to english, it take many time for me to say something, so i'm very shy to talk to someone in english :(((
I am a RealLife English learner, i don't know if you will keep on there, but definitely I'll be watching you here. My English is improving a lot, and you are my inspiration since I knew you a few months ago. I am a Brazilian too and not gonna give up on learning English. I wish you success on your new podcast!
There is the same situation in Russia. Many people learn English at school but their knowledges are elementary, just some words or things like that. I wasn't an exception, unfortunately. And then we urgently needed to move in 2022. My husband had pretty good English level, but I didn't. So I immigrated without English and only started to learn it when I was 33 years old. It's difficult! Therefore now I always avdice everybody to learn English as soon as possible when you are young.
Thanks for sharing! I agree with you. The earlier a person can begin, the better. But you can still learn English well. Keep following the videos here because I'm sure you will learn something new every time. And if you need any help with something more specific, leave a comment here on the channel. I'm always reading them. Best wishes!
Thiago, sou brasileira também e amei o seu vídeo 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 sua história é inspiradora e me motiva muito nessa jornada de aprender um novo idioma. Thanks for share your story. 😊
I’m from KSA🇸🇦 and I trying to improve my English language as a beginner student by using RU-vid Courses then I found your video in the suggestions and I watched it, that was really helpful video😊 I'm very happy because I understood most of what you said Thank you
Bro you literally described the same experience I had working, I used to work in a store located in downtown of my city last year when I was 18 (which is very visited by tourist and foreigners as well), and I tried to make conversations with literally any foreign customer who would walk in and talk as much as possible, and after assisting them I also would ask them for feedbacks, advices and stuff so I feel really identified with you. Greetings from México.
I feel represented by you because, in Brazil, where fewer people speak English, it's challenging to learn English (nobody speaks, nobody practice with you) and we need to take initiative and create our methods to learn, however, technology, like you said, makes it possible
Hello, I just found your podcast through RealLifeEnglish. The first 20 minutes of your video, described my journey as a English learner. LOl. First, I studied by my self for years, then I started to study English formally in order to be a teacher. Now, my process of english acquisition is different and I keep learning and practice everyday. I think I still have a lot ro learn, but I'm in a place that I'm not afraid anymore to make mistakes. And it's one of the most incredible things, among others, that I've noticed in the process of learning English.. Thanks for sharing your story.
After your video I have intention to immerse in English more. You inspire and invigorate me not to give up in spite of challenges and obstacles. Thank you for uploading your podcasts! 😊
I've been learning English for almost 4 years , maybe IM good in listening, in reading or in writing , but i feel really bad in my speaking skil , and now i know what be my fault , Im too focus to understand every single word but, Im forgot to practice that word in real life To everyone who still try to learning English keep it going , because someday it Will be worth it
I am a Colombian senior, and it has been very pleasant to observe this entire class and get to know you. Thank you very much, I will continue watching it.
hey Thiago...congratulations on starting your own podcast...i'm brazilian and i've been watching your videos probably for about 3 years now and they have helped me a lot on my journey! i wish you all the best! you're just a great teacher! cheers!
I am not fluent yet butt i dont carry if i will make a lot of mistakes texting that cause this guy diserve my shame. Thiago is a example to me, i started to study by myself 8 months ago and i improved a lot, even with so many grammmar mistakes yet. I really aapreciate your work thiago. i wish all sucess for you( more than you have yet :))
Thanks to Duolingo I can understand the teacher and continue learning with more peace of mind and enthusiasm now. Thank you teacher, I don't miss 1 of your podcast on Spotify. 🙏🏽
I just heard your episode and WOW, thanks for sharing this with us, and for sharing your English journey. I'm on my own journey right now and sometimes this seems like it's impossible! But listening to you, your example, and your tips, I feel more confident. And I feel very good because I'm writing this without any app or dictionary help. I'm almost there!
Hi Thiago! I am learning English, and I am so very impressed seeing you speaking English with such accuracy and fluency, the truth is that you have left me amazed 👏 I don't have any doubts about your discipline and commitment learning this beautiful and helpful language 😀
Nice video and a very good story of yours. I've been studying English for years now. The secret on learning a new language for me it has been to re-reading all my favourite books (movies as well) on original language. Than of course, i spent 3 years living and working in Uk, to improve better the skills on comunication. In this days, that i'm living back in my town (Italy) i still keep my English on regular weekly traning.
Hi Thiago! First of all, I'm a subscriber to the channel "RealLife English", but I didn't know this channel of yours. You're one of my inspirations to become fluent in English. I practice every day, I love grammar rules by the way and I try to become better at them. Last but not least. I really appreciate the knowledge you share with us!
Glad to know you love grammar rules. I've always loved studying grammar as well. And I can tell you study grammar because your comment was really well written. Great job and keep it up!
A elite financeira maldita do Brasil tem o projeto de manter o povo somente com o conhecimento suficiente pra operar as máquinas de seus fábricas e qualquer trabalho que não queiram fazer. Não é atoa que o "novo ensino médio" é desenhado para tirar todas as matérias que estimulam senso critico pra colocar bobajadas como "bolo de pote", "o que tá rolando por ai", e é na minha opinião, a razão das aulas de inglês das escolas públicas serem 10 anos de verbo to be
This was very good! I just want to tell you as a native English speaker that your English is very good. You pronunciation is very good, and doesn't really have the usual characteristics of that of a native Portuguese speaker. I believe that people will benefit from this podcast, and I wish you success. Your story was really interesting too. I'm learning Spanish on my own now at 47, and I can relate to a lot of what you experienced! The internet is truly a great thing for language learning. There has never been a better time to try to learn a second language.
I'm Brazilian, I've been studying English for a year and a half and I say that sometimes it’s a mix of good and bad feelings, it’s very challenging to learn a second language. After hearing your story, I was more motivated to continue studying.Thanks !
Hi Thiago ..you are my super hero now ..I'm trying to learn English in this moment...I'm from to Costa Rica and I listen to you in Spotify but I found this channel today..tank you because I think that I can understand more words in this way
Hey Thiago I'm from Brazil and I studied about in a English school for 3 years, but with the COVID-19 I stopped my English school class and start to study by myself. And believe me, my English skills it's better now, everything what do you talk, it's true
This video, and specially your history about to learn english by your own is very stimulating. I've studied since my fourteen, by myself and with private teachers, althought stopping because of life and contexts challenges. However, since that I decided to teach social studies in english and started to study everyday, listen, reading, talking and writing, I fell that it's to much better and my secure it's improving. Tks for this free class. It was amazingly simple. And congratulations by your effort, discipline and generosity, its respectable.
Thank you for the motivating story. I was also studying English without tutor for 2 years. And now, I am also 21 years old and I also decided to try myself in teaching English as a foreign language. You story motivated me to not give up. Because I have a lot of students now and lack of materials and I am taking private classes for myself as well. Thank you for you content and working 😊
Hi Thiago, I agree with every word you're saying, and our english-learning journeys have been very much alike. I remember back in 2006 I used icq to find english and german speaking friends to practice those languages. And I did find some great people, and we're still in touch today ☺ I'd also grab any opportunity I had to speak to foreigners, not just to practice my English, it was simply fun and exciting😋 I'm happy I've found you. I feel like your podcast can encourage me to keep on advancing my skills coz I feel like I'm stuck.
Let me say that me, like almost everyone here, I’m not the greatest speaker in the world but I will be a fluent speaker and the way is over there everyone can see and i to be honest, i sent this video to all my contacts that needs to listen you 🤝🏻
This vid is so useful for me.As a nonnative speaker at a biginning stage.I curious about how to improve my English skill.

i'm not learning english as i already have a good enough level, instead i'm learning norwegian, i'm a french native speaker, but i would like to thank you because this video was really interesting to me, it was nice to hear from your journey, your personnal approach and struggles and sucess also. how we humans, are aquiring languages is fascinating. People make fun of french because they are notoriously bad at foreign languages, there's some truth to it but i didn't know about the situation in Brazil, i hope it will tend to progress for you guys there. Greetings from france.
I love your story. My name is Win thandar from Myanmar.I am 23 yrs old. I got so many inspirations to keep forward my English learning journey.This vedio meant to me a lot
Hello i'm 23 years old too, i'm looking for some friends to practice English with me. If you are interested, we can contact by social media accounts. btw, i'm Vietnamese
Thiago, you remind me, I'm 30 now, I realized I like english since I was 6 years, and all my life I had english around me because of my dad, he was listening music in english and reading books, I'm glad I have my dad influence, now I can speak with native people, I have conversational english level, I'm trying to get a job as a customer service and I know I will, glad that I found your channel, congrats from Peru.
I'm starting my journey towards English fluency, I know it won't be easy, but, I won't give up! Thank you for your testimony of life, you are an inspiration.
Thanks Thiago, your story can provide a high motivation for many people who don't speak regularly English like me and I really appreciate that. I hope that you could produce more videos in this topic which is very useful
Good video, I'm from Colombia and I'm learning English on my own, I think that I'm in an intermediate level, I can understand you, but my writing and my speaking, don't fluent, when I'm writing or speaking, I feel really uncomfortable, I'll waiting for more videos like that, when I'm listen to you I feel motivated, because sometimes I feel that I haven't any progresse but I know that all is step by step and I'll never give up until get fluent in this beautiful lenguage ❤
Hello Thiago, I am from Turkey and I came across it randomly today and wanted to watch it. You have really brought it to a very good level on your own. I am progressing like you. My goal is to speak fluently and thank you for the video 🎋
My story with english is quite similar. I always thought that learn this language would give me more opportunities and i was wrong because gave me much than opportunities. Met interesting people and understand how native countries think. My level in english flew far when assume that this language were part of my life and don't just a simple "study". Thanks a lot Thiago for share this value story. A hug from Uruguay !
It's a huge pleasure again Thiago to be honest when i met you on RU-vid said this man is a great example of attitud,passion, dedication ,etc. That's why i feel My english improve a lot thank to your example i could find a great job in abroad from My Home as an English teacher and My english is growing up a lot thank you Thiago to become a great mentor in My life have Nice day😊
Hey, I’m an Ecuadorian that lives in Portugal since last year, I saw your whole video and I enjoyed it a lot, I’m probably going to continue seeing your videos so that I don’t forget all the taught materia that I learned in school, very good video btw. Parabéns e os melhores comprimentos desde Portugal (eu aprendi português de Brasil num instituto brasileiro lá em Ecuador)
I subscribed your channel, cause i really want to be able to speak english so i can continue my study to phd. I’m one of those who regret why i didnt learn english. I can achieve many opportunities but i cant bcause this problem. Now i realized that its never too late to learn. Thnks for your advice. Regard from 🇮🇩
Sua história nos inspira Thiago. Sou brasileiro e estou na mesma jornada. I am studying every single day and doing a language degree in English. I will apply further to become a great teacher.
Congratulations on the video, I'm Brazilian too and I really enjoyed your experience. The caption with the yellow color moving from word to word helps a lot with understanding, I watch a lot of videos with the caption on RU-vid, but this one was the best. Being able to understand almost the entire video. Successes.
First of all I would like to thank you very much for the greatest video that I have watched on RU-vid platform of how we become fluent in English. Second of all, I would like to interduce myself, My name is Basil and I am form Saudi Arabia. Therefore, as an English learner as a second language I am so proud of myself that I understood the whole video or the podcast with my own inputs and to be more clear I have been learning English for many years like 4 years ago until now. However, here you have a new subscriber in your channel 😃. So I would like to thank you again for your efforts.
Thiago, I admire how you can speak fluently and correctly. 🎉well done! It’s a great idea and motivates us to learn more if we celebrate our small achievements or victories like you said.
I thought you were a native speaker for a moment, but i'm glad that you are brazilian like me. Your english is perfect, and i understood 100% that you've said in this video. Thank you from this perspective on your road of learning a new language, seeing that another countryman learned basically the same way as you learned, and is learning, is a good way to see that i'm on the right path. By the way, i'm 21 and have been studying english for two years and stuck at B2.
I had problems with my listening but my reading is perfect or great, sometimes I couldn´t listen very well and i understood the word exactly, until i read the subtitles and I saw the meaning of the entire sentence, I hope to improve my english with you and see many more episodes like this or others than this one i loved a lot.
Teacher Thiago, congratulations! As a Brazilian I am proud of you. Your story moved me, and I'm sure it will be a model for many students - not just English - to seek and achieve their dreams. I'm already your fan.
Hello everyone. I’m from Colombia and I come to this video for a chance. I like will be learn English to have a better conversation with the native speakers and others works options. Thank you Thiago. 😅
