I read a book that really helps me, now I know the secret how to learn to speak english quickly. The only thing that keeps us to still not learn to speak english is our mind. If you afraid to speak english because you think you will commit mistake, then sorry you will never learn to speak english. Trying to speak english doesn't mean to be perfect just like we learned in school. But speaking in english is to communicate, don't be afraid to make an error. Speak in english forget the "one correct answer" rule that school taught us, your study to communicate and not to impress your teacher. Your not in school anymore, use what ever you learned in reality. Just like me i never afraid if i have mistake in my sentences, im not native english speaker. So what im afraid? Im just a learner, means its natural to have a mistake. Just speak again and again in english, THE FACT IS.. IT IS BETTER TO TRY AND TRY AND MISTAKE AND TRY AGAIN... THAN NOTHING. So you know the answer why you didn't learn or progress, because of the wrong mindset. Be always positive, don't think of any bad things. Your focus is to learn. ❤

I’m just 14 years old and I am also an English speaker and I learned that by myself. I’m from Angola and here it’s pretty hard to find a child like me who speaks English because in my country we only speak Portuguese I appreciate so much your videos You inspire me so much 🎉❤

I undertstood the 90 % of the conversation. I am proud of me . Thanks guys you're amazing

I am a native English speaker, living in the US, but I am learning the Persian language. Farsi, to be specific. In my language adventure, I am finding that my searches for how to become more fluent in a language I am acquiring has brought me videos for people who are learning English. Since language is language, and I am struggling with the issue of translating in my head, I decided to watch this video. Thank you so much for this! I will try to apply your methods to my practice of learning Persian! I subscribed instantly when I saw you playing guitar! I also play guitar and I've been comparing the process of learning a musical instrument to learning a language as well! One thing that I noticed is that I struggled to improve much with guitar as long as I kept thinking of myself as "learning to play". I started to play along with other musicians and felt overwhelmed by it, much like practicing to speak with people in my target language. Once I changed my perspective to "I play guitar. I may not be great at it yet, but I am a guitarist" everything changed in my playing. That is where I am in my Persian... Wanting to stop thinking that I am "learning" Persian and just say "I speak Persian and I will continue to improve". Best wishes to you!

Thinking in English is little hard but not impossible

I’m native English speaking. But I am struggling with similar issues in speaking French. This video helps a lot to language learners in general!

I started learning English 2 years ago, but I’ve been speaking English since January of this year. This is really interesting, especially as 4 language after Turkic languages and Slavic languages

Just focus on listening and you will eventually be thinking in English. This method made me fluent in English and japanese which is the hardest language to learn.

Hello, I am currently learning English as a second language, and I find your channel incredibly useful to me. Thank you in advance!

I am ibraheem , syria , and i appreciate your efforts , you are amazing team , go on guys , we need your experience to continue💜

Helps me a lot! Will try 3 points on not relying translation in brain. Also good question debates in the end!

You take learning an instrument as an example. It is true that if you want to play an instrument better, you need time to practise. It can apply to learn a new language. The process may be frustrated but if you can overcome all difficulties, you can succeed. Thanks for you video.

An habit that helped me to think in english is always search whatever are you searching in english, so you have to think, not translate.

I am extremely happy that i can understand around 85% what you guys are saying, your content is very helpful, thanks you guys so much!!!

I'm also learning english as a second language and I always observe your videos and I listen to your podcast, I think, The videos that you make are very useful to english learner!

I hear it every day, you are the best!! the guitar today was a masterful connection 💯🤯

As someone learning English as a second language, I strive to learn diligently, although I encounter difficulties and setbacks. Your video is genuinely inspiring and fills me with optimism. I came across Immersive Translate through comments by RU-vidrs, and it seems fascinating. I plan to test it out, aiming to achieve notable improvement in this field.

Do you ever feel that when you speak English everyday day and you skill increasing significantly but then when you stop speaking at least for couple month your English going down immediately?

I purchased the fluent with Friends course two years ago, started learning continuously for 10 months and stopped when there's still 4 episodes to go, even though my English comprehension increased drastically, before the course I couldn't hear a thing when you guys speaking. But now I could understand ~95% of what you're saying. That's really amazing, isn't it? Thanks for the course and all the clips you guys've made!

thanks for making me feel more comfortable at the time to speak, I've really struggled to get rid of insecurity, your videos have been a crucial part in my english journey to be fluent. Onthe other hand, as far as I'm concerned love at first sight It's probably an illusion that may trick people into thinking they were in love from day one, but find real love is a process that take longer.

Great podcast, as always!!!

thanks teatcher Thiago, you are helping me so much with your videos! I understand your history in this video, and i'm so happy and proud with me.

hello ! i don't believe in love at first sight because as chiago say love is something that is actually developed over time and not in one moment ,well by the way i want to thanks Reallife team for those episode that are very helpful for us as learners thank youuuuuu guyssss !!!

I'm new on your charnel, I just love it what you're doing. I'm from Haïti and I'm an English teacher as well. Nice to be part of yours!

One thing i realize when it comes to learning english is you should try to speak english even if your not good enough.

It’s helpful! Thank you

Hello, I started learning english by my self one month ago and i watch your podcasts everyday. I've a lot of progress thanks to your advice.

I really like the way you provide useful ideas! You guys are amazing

Espectacular el análisis. Se agradece la recomendación según el perfil de cada uno.🙌🏼💥

Wow really appreciate the make this video. learn new things to day to day English.

My weird strategy, when you are speaking imagine a white , big and extremely clean ball. Your mind will not translate, because you have that image in your mind

Embracing uncertainty only helps when there's someone there to help you. Honestly it's one the most painful parts of learning to speak a language. Feeling a little lost? I am sorry bro without proper help it can be pretty freaking frustrating and you can feel extremely lost in the situation. Truth is there must be at least 1 person willing to let you talk and ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE MISTAKES.

Thanks.. you boost me up

This podpast is very helpful to me because when i’ll trying to speaking of english my brain is focus on translating my native language so my grammar is so bad, this video helps me a lot. Then, when i typing this comment i think i stopped translating what i want to say in english and i hope i’ll improved a lot.Thank you for this knowledge and information.

Thanks, very good video

I already managed to do that when learning to speak english, but I never knew how I managed to do it. Now Im trying to do this with japanese.

I discover your channels and it's very instructive. Your English is very good to listen. First step, see all videos. Thanks bro. 🎉

I enjoy learning english , thank you teacher 🙏

I am glad to here , superb excited to watching these videos...❤

You're the GOAT, Thiago! Greetings from Chile.

I was surfing on the internet then suddenly your videos grasped my attention Since then i have been watching your videos . It really helped me a lot in my English journey one thing I felt insecure that i always tried to find accuracy in my English but today after watching your video i realized that Just think in your mind in English if I'm not at mistaken and consume content in English whatever your are watching like sports, movies and daramaz. It's important to note that we feel scared due to one word but we don't need to focus on one word only. Just understand the context and make your English journey fantastic.❤

This conversation is very helpful for beginner english to learn it. This lesson is amazing for me🤗

Thanks Thiago, i can hear and understand what the conversation about, either you or Ksenia, that is helpfull.

Thanks for your explain to become excellent in English...I am so enjoy it..❤❤

Thanks)A great podcast!

Hello and thank you so much for your videos. I'm learning a lot about the topic of each video, but also I learn new vocabulary and useful expressions like: "Once and for all". Looking forward to your next video. Bye !

Learning any language is skill So if you want to learn English or any language else just listen and read and speak and write more and more and more finally you get better There's not a magical way to do that in one day ....just be a patient

I'm musician. And I interact a lot with other musicians and learn some musical theories in english. So that's a great way for me to live the english and so that to seem more natural and think in english😊 Thanks a lot for this lesson ❤😊😊

I just love the word "counterintuitive" and I do not know why XD

I'm actually studying to be an English as a second language teacher, and I must say, overtranslating is nothing else but bad habit, cause I can think in English, but still I try to translate everytime

this is so fascinating🔥 Thank you

Hi! Thanks sir i got the message 💯 percent..

If it's at first glance, it's just a passion, just a feeling from the depths of our biology, neurochemical reactions that have driven us crazy. Love is classical music, passion is rock!

I feel so proud to hear that Tiago is a Brazilian that It is fluent in English. Good work Guy. 👏👏👏

Hi I really liked this lesson. I dont believe in love at first sight because you can only evaluate a persons appearence but you cant understand their insides.love is a very sacred feelings.i think its meaning increases as it deepens.

thanks for all theses videos

Very helpful video.

Hello by the way I am also a beginner here like you.And I am still in the process of learning my English language too. To my best of knowledge of why we're not improving our English language is maybe simply because we try to use some difficult vocabulary words in constructing ideas in our head. Which is not healthy for the beginner to the point that you get lost in your ideas of what you are supposed to say.The simpler the better in order for you to learn quickly,so that learning the English language regularly will be more interesting for you.The more enjoyable it is for you the better result you will get day by day. Once again this is only my opinion nothing personal and I'm not trying to be like a teacher here. I give credit to you sir because of your videos I learned a lot from it and you especially.

What's up, buddy. My name is Victor and I'm an English student. English as a second language. Ok. I think I am in the A2 to B1. Anyway. As far as I am concerned, thinking in English without translating is impossible for a beginner. I lived it and I know how difficult it was. Nowadays, I feel the pleasure of reading without translating. I respect you so much.

thank you so much for the lesson, your video really help me.... god bless you 😇

Thanks, you're content is amazing 🔥

Hello! I'm from Brazil, I write here just to practice my writing and not translate mentally

What a great podcast. Thank you, Ksenia and Thiago!

This podcast is very beneficial to me i really liked. thanks thiago and ksenia

for my opnion, i didnt believe love at first sight cause u can reach love when you develop your desire or interest toward someone and accept that person who is he/she.

It so much help this podcast... 🥰🥰

Hello Thiago and Ksenya. Thank you for your awesome podcast, I realy enjoy in it. BTW about love on the first sight, I agree with Thiago, it's more some connection, attraction, something that inspare you, and after that became a true love...❤ I like your podcast and a videos, and think that you make something that is very important for us, learners, and thank you a lot❤

This podcast it was vere useful to me because i'm understand now what I have to do to improve my Thinking in English. Thank you

My my !This is indeed the best channel to take our English profieciency to the next level. You guys are doing a fantastic job! I love the Master of Puppets poster.....obey your master ...master ....master of English I'm pulling your strings....teaching us everyday....master master....

I think we all English learners should have a group chat to make progress because we all are here for the same reason.Don't forget everything has its own way to step next level.This aim we wish to achive is always in our mind and I think some of us has adopted it so much that we see it as a plant.I want you always should keep it our heart and really wishing learn it.

Interesting topic.. Thank you.

34:00 Uh, I didn't expect to hear something about germany at the end of the video. Really interesting that "Zettelkasten" there is used. And yeah learning a new language or keep up the process can be challenging sometimes. But I found some ways to actually have fun to improve and see myself as a still getting better at English, in my daily life. (Yeah! 😊) I hope everyone who is seeing that have a great day and thanks guys for the helpful and motivational (idk if this is word is correct) video. And to all learners like me you got this and you will be successful, I know that ❤ Bye bye from GE 🖤❤️💛

Interesting would be what are the main languages of the host and their guest? Romance languages like Spanish, Portuguese, and French have many accents. For those who want to excel in English in all ways is a big feat to master

That's really nice podcast.I am English leaner a few months ago.This vedio make me fearless to speak in English.

Very good! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much !! I hope quit to translate in my mind... !!!

Woow it is my first time I visite your youtube channel . After i hav been watching this video abou 6 second , I like your video and the way you are explaining . Thanks teacher and countinue fou us the videos like this.

English is my first language I'm learning French.

Amazing topic!

In my opinion falling in love at first sight is common in movies and series...you can't fall in love at first sight, call it another thing but not love. It can be an emotional connection, if the initial attraction is strong, we might quickly feel an emotional connection, which can be driven by shared interests, values, or personality traits.True love develops over time, as we get to know each other, share experiences, and build a connection based on mutual respect, trust, and understanding. it's crucial to nurture and develop the relationship over time to build a lasting, meaningful connection.... 😄😄 I was translating in my head from french to English guess why....it's still hard for me to think all in English. Thank you for this video

Hello Tiago, amazed to see you playing guitar. I think that will be good if you introduce it in your videos more times.

Awesome video I'd like to watch more videos like this in the future

oh my answer was ditto as yours about ❤at first sight , at that moment i was like LOVE at 1st sight is not possible

For me it's really hard to let go the translation in my head because I've being perfectionist person and it really sucks but thank you for the advice or tips i know that i could used it.

I found this video useful thanks

blanket sample made me understand about translation :)

Thanks
