Hi everyone. A teacher here. English teacher to be exact. Hehehe... Those tips given are useful. And I personally think that talking to yourself is one of the best way. And read a lot. READ. Find something that you can read. I mean something that attracts you so much. Any kind of story books or magazines or comics or any science fiction that you like. For me, I love Enid Blyton. The sentences are simple and easy to be understood. Sampai sekarang, teacher masih suka buku2 jenis fairytale. Good luck everyone.
yep, if when i was 5 and 6 years old i HATE reading english story books because i dont understand some of the new words and my father told me to open the dictionary and find the words that u don't know in malay hahaha but now when i realized that i want to improve my english, english novels , storybooks are now my target :D i'd prefer reading novels than storybooks actually :333
"don't make fun to those who speak broken english it means that they know another language" so be proud that u are learning something new. don't ever feel down when people made fun of you.
I am same page with you, somehow in work place says that my english speaking are not good but eventually i learned as i know i way far from fluent to speak english.
When you started talking about 'talk to yourself' I was like : SAMEEEEEEE GIRLLLLLLL actually talk to myself is really fun. sounds creepy but it do really improve my English :') I love your videos :)
@Julita Aishah good method(talking to your non-malay friends)... it's okay if they laugh... just tell them to correct you when there are grammar error :)
Ameera Asha pekakkan je telinga dgn org mcm tu 😂 in the end you’ll improve your english and one day they’ll wish they joined you to improve their english too
Girl , only mindset katak bwh tmpurung je macam tu ,, cuba cakap jgk eng. Its no matter how much you're wrong, but it's matter how many u speak English. So dpd tu u akn improve eng slowly..
bit tips here: record your voice whenever you feel like reading and always check how the words to be pronounced. This tips can be applied to any languages you want to learn ;)
adik, i love your pronunciation, it is certainly not exaggerating but the way you pronounce every words is precise and easy to understand. Arwah emak (al fatihah) used to be an english teacher, but i was sooo bad at english, i embarrassed her alot when i was a kid. konon mcm rebellious, tak nak cakap english sebab bukan nak pergi luar negara pun. ape ke bingung. haha. tp arwah emak gave me a dictionary, buku latihan and a book to read every week. every single word yg tak faham tulis dlm buku latihan, search the meaning dlm dictionary and at the end of the month baca balik buku latihan tu, believe it or not..perkataan tu boleh guna dlm essay english and improve my vocabulary so i passed my english essay, dpt markah tinggi sikit sbb guna words yg jarang org guna. yelah, word dlm dictionary, kemain lagi. haha now akak still sukaaaa membaca. esp fiction, sbb mmg suka berangan walaupun umur dah tua.. haha anyway, adik. love this video, thumbs up!
Talking to yourself in English is the proven tip to improve our English better. This tip is also in my ebook and if you like you may click this link play.google.com/store/books/details/Nanno_Suharno_Pintar_Inggris_Guide?id=jzHKDwAAQBAJ
You can learn a lot from youtube, Anna. Saya selalu pesan kat students saya dulu, awak boleh belajar daripada mana2 sumber, cuma kena peka dengan ilmu yang tersorok kat sumber2 tu
My 14 year old son learns english by watching youtube videos. He has been communicating with his siblings and me since he stated talking in English but later it created a problem. It became his first language. He was poor in his BM. So we made some minute changes in our communication pattern and it did improve his BM. Not great but way lot better.
Even after 2 years this was still helpful! I'm very good at English but super insecure in speaking, so much so that I overdo it and get my pronunciations wrong. Talking to myself, reading books aloud helped me alot for the upcoming speaking tests
I was born in Poland so I talk with my family in Polish, my parents and I live in Germany now so with my friends I speak Germany and when I'm alone at home or just in my room I talk to myself in English because I only watch like English youtubers or something. But sometimes I would watch a Korean drama or reality show and then I talk to myself in Korean (I mean.. I only know like.. 20 words in Korean? But nevermind😂). So it's kinda complicated and I think my brain might explode soon😂 But anyways... thank you for those tips and good luck with your channel😊
OMG we're exactly the same person ( I'm also from Poland haha ) but I live in England so I have to speak English but I'm too shy... And I love watch Korean dramas too and then I also talk to myself in Korean ( I mean it's my imaginary language with some Korean words lol ) Fajnie wiedzieć że ludzie tacy jak ja istnieją haha
I can understand when someone speak fully eng with me but then I'm stuck when it comes to responding in eng😧 i was like 'uh? Oh.. aaaahhh---' duh so embarrassing 👏 and don't let me start with the stuttering 😂💦 god.. and writing in eng? Omg writing in eng is sooo confusing😭
Natasha Edayu its okayyyy 😂😂 don’t let that be the cause for you to give up in englishh ☺️ just keep on practicing and i believe youll get there in the end ❤️
Natasha boleh. Saya dulu rasa pelat sikit lidah tapi bila kat rumah, praktis sorang2 sampai lenguh muka. Lama2 dah biasa, sampai jadi confident. Stuttering tu normal. Cuba tengok video2 saya.
hi! I know it's already late but... I first started to learn English from my mom. My mom went to study in the UK, or specifically in Manchester. My mum was not so great English speaker when she first when there, just barely enough to communicate so she picked up many words/pronunciation while studying there. I always thought she is the best English speaker since I live in the countryside where there are not many people who can speak or even understand English. She teaches me a lot of British pronunciation. Sometimes I would pick up some words from the American TV show and use them. She would correct me after that, saying how it should be pronounced. At that time I don't know there is US Eng nor UK Eng. I was barely 5 years old. When I went to primary school, teachers would make us read texts from the textbook. I always got picked since they know I'm good at it but in the end, I would get scolded/corrected for my pronunciation while I'm completely fine when I read it with my mom. There was once, my teacher asks me if I want to join a storytelling competition. I was so excited since I never join any storytelling competition (I live in the countryside, rarely had any competition). I would practice until late at night only to be turned down because they don't like my pronunciation and I should work more to correcting it. After that, I completely shut my mouth, never speak any English unless it is necessary.
Until now, I always have insecurity about my pronunciation. I'm 16 this year and people still judge me. I try to learn to speak like other people and it makes my pronunciation even weird cause I mix a lot of accents. My English has become worse than it is before. I barely talk and these days I don't read so much since I was busy with school works. I just wanted to do my best for SPM next year... :-) Thanks for reading this looong diary, it feels like you are my best friend that always listening. So much pleasure, if you have any suggestion or anything that can help me. ps: these days British Accent become quite trendy but they only consider British like how Harry Potter would talk which is SouthEastern British accent. Guys, even though UK is small, they have more accents than you think.
plus: I don't think I really bad at speaking British English. I've spoken with British English speakers they said my English is perfectly fine and become weird if I try to speak in American Accent (or the accent that Malaysian speak)
You see, I have a low elf-esteem problem. My mom studied in English speaking school and then proceed abroad in US. Meanwhile my sister could use English fluently. But when it comes to me, I somehow feel intimidated and nervous whenever I try to speak in front of them or anyone who I feel superior than me in English, even when I speak to my 8 y/o nephew who lives in Australia. I know I shouldn't be and feel this way, but somehow I'm always afraid people will judge the way I speak because I stutter a lot. And FYI, I usually get an A in my english tests/exams and I achieved even greater grade than my sister in English for SPM. Sure achieving a greater grade can be a proud thing, but that's only in written paper. When you go out in the society, people won't even ask what grade did you get for your SPM, what they acknowledge is how fluent you are when you speak. But yeah, even though we have trouble in speaking english, at least we learn, never stop learning and never give up. The tips she gave us could help to increase our self-esteem. I wish you all the best in the future to be able to speak english fluently, so please do pray for me too :D
you did an amazing job with these tips! the last few ones really are helpful with studying the english language itself (videos, consuming entertainment purely in english, etc), but i agree that speaking (both with yourself+with others) are some of the only ways to improve your speaking. i've been better than average at using the language itself in writing and reading, but i've always struggled with speaking and enunciation. during highschool (f1) i entered a multiracial school, where most of the students spoke in english rather than malay, so i started speaking it daily. definitely helped me improve my own speaking skills.
Sama. Dulu pernah sekali saya belajar BI tiru2 sorang budak daripada london ni. Pastu bila try speaking kat sekolah terus kena paku, haha. Takpa adik, kena practice selalu, try tengok video saya kalau nak practice english
@@iylianadiha9704 just keep practice.. You will get it one day... I think pt3 oral test for english is easier than BM because we just have to answer the teacher question while BM you have to talk all along in 10 minutes.. My english also still not that good when it comes to speaking... In school i rarely speak english but in university i feel more confidence although i just say a few words but for me it is such a good improvement... Let's get through this together okay... Good luck for your pt3 btw...😊
GURLLLL i swear i did exactly the same to improve my english, and sometimes it's hard to explain to those who asked, they always thought that i speak english at home when i don't, it just comes naturally ya know, i just like to watch youtube videos, english movies, listen to english songs ever since i was in primary school, and then started to absorb how they talk and such, oh and even in malay dramas, i actually read the subtitles and that's how i improve my vocab for a beginner, and yes, it takes time, even until now, im still looking forward to improving myself, grammatical errors are very common but that's fine, AND YEAH i do talk to myself as well, i used to not have that confidence to speak in public and just like u i can write well in class but i stutter when i actually talk in english, and where i grew up, it's actually hard to find someone that is actually open to these things u get me? thank god as the time goes by, i've met a lot of people and i have some friends to talk in english to now and by that i started to build up my courage to speak out loud, SO YEAH for those people out there, NEVER STOP LEARNING AND NEVER GIVE UP
when you said talk to yourself, i nodded like a pFT but seriously tho. I ALWAYS TALKED TO MYSELF AND MY MOM CAUGHT ME BERANGAN SMTH . but yeah , it do really improve my english now :')
You're right, I totally agree with all your tips, it's never too old to learn a language. I'm 65 years old now, just starting to learn speak English. Thank you
Actually, I had talk in english with my friends once but I notice that maybe they thought I just want to "berlagak pandai".Then start from there, I'll talk in english myself which is i pronounce it in my heart .
English is my least favourite subject since in primary school.Gladly, I managed to survive this subject throughout my school life.But of course it is not the end of it cause we use english everywhere especially in our daily life,at work,in college etc.The fact that I hate english because I have a sort of bad memories of it.I still remember when I felt so down that I got the lowest mark in my english class..Till now, I still hate english but PRETEND to like it.Nowadays,someone who is good in english is highly demanded and I bet they will probably get a nice job in the future.That's why I've always push myself to learn english despite I hate it cause I want a better future for myself.I also want to fulfill my goal for this year that I want to improve my english skill in both speaking and writing.Wish me luck.
Hi, i could understand every word, but when it comes to conversation, writing a sentences i become nerveous and make a lot of mistakes,especially when i dont fully understand to grammar, vocabulary, n couldn't pronounce properly on some words. I am from Indonesia, not even graduate from high school,.but i get to learn english to a family in malaysia that i work with.. I am one kind of killing 2bird's with one stone, bcz while work to earn money i also get to learn english..😇 #exhousehelper
i feel you. They said start speaking English in real life but when it comes to it, I can't even reply a single word to anyone who speaks English to me because i was so nervous and afraid of making mistakes but then regretted it later.
@@Vlaga80 😅😅😅 thts ok ,make sure whn you hv change just grab it,right or wrong it doesn't matter rather thn regret again😅 anyway, its already a blessing tht we could understand English, so we can enjoy watching k dramas, Chinese dramas,Turkish dramas ,😅😅 and many others show,cuz not all show are available in bahasa😅
@@LoveLife-xk1iz but talking to others in english made me nervous as hell and stuttered. I think i gotta try other technique such as start talking to myself..lol
@@Vlaga80 well ,i've tried tht technique, which is pretty good face no problm at all,feels like im very fluent in English 😅😅but no improvement as we are not going to deal with ourself alone,we are living in society so gotta be brave talk English with othrs😅 wish u all the best, not tht scary as you think...
When i was in university i used to chat with foreigners. It was effective guys.. at first i had difficulty to express my ideas, so day by day i learned it and i gained the way how the English native speakers conversed... My recommendation to those who are going to start learning English is by reading a story book first. When you read the book, you just write down the word that you dont understand and then find the meaning. Sometimes you will find the words that they use is new to you, sometime you will find the words that they use is simple to you.. Anyways it depends on your determination!
I know I am way too late, but thanks to todays technology its way easier learning it even while watching a normal english content or some movies. It is indeed feels better if you are speaking to yourself while doing something like giving a commentary about something you see or hear. I also love watching anything on english subtitles and reading in english and will try to translate some of the words that you don't know by reading the situation of the thing you read or watch. After watching this video I am suprised that I learned english the same way without even knowing. By the way, this year I am taking SPM so wish me a goodluck.
This is awesome dear! They’re all my experience too! Looking back, what I did: 1) watched and listened to a lot of English content cartoons, movies, series, documentaries, MUSIC, etc 2) yes, having the opportunity to speak in English with friends! And I totally agree with talking to yourself! A lot of the times children use the language they’ve heard/learned when playing pretend by themselves or with others.. so yes! Speak like no one’s watching 😘 3) Yes reading aloud and also listening to audio books (yes we had those back in the 90s, so you can perhaps guess my age 😂) Great tips Irdinaaaa love this content ❤️❤️❤️ Thanks and all the best everyone! I’m trying a new language which is Turkish but it’s going so slow 😅
I learn my english when I was little because I watch many english cartoon and now I watch dramas with english subtitles and I also read wattpad in english language 😅 It felt weird when my little cousin is watching an english cartoon but then they switched the language to malay
I talk to myself a lot and I watch English movies only. I think I improve a lot by watching tv. Back then, I really love Korean dramas and I just read the subtitles. Its much more easier to understand with the situation. My only passion is English. And I got Band 4 for my MUET. 😁
so this is my story, i used to get D for english back in my middle school but all of sudden on my upsr i got both of my english A's.I didnt realize that my english improve A LOT, All i did was watching tiktok videos..😭im being fr rn because my fyp is always people from usa so like i start to understand what they were saying and i learn a new word, ofc its complicated at first because i didnt understand what were they talking about but we have google(lol) so i looked up for the words meaning.And i start to post funny tiktoks video on my status and write the captions in english.I start to text my friend in english and yeah they start to feel confident with their english and bla bla bla and now me and my friends speak to eachother in english funfact im turning 14 this year. AND AT FIRST MY ACCENT WAS VERY VERY VERY BAD IDK HOW BUT LIKE I KINDA HAVE AMERICA ACCENT NOW AND IM TRYING TO LEARN BRITISH ACCENT BC ITS CUTE BYEE
yg waktu dina kata dina ckp sorang2 tu kan...saya pun buat benda yg sama..saya buat dlm masa 2 tahun..cume saya ckp english sorang2 bila saya main sorang2,buat air..although rasenya mcm pelik bila ckp sorang2..tapi tips tu memang berbaloi..
Okay so I always talk to myself at home and it really works since I was in kindergarden cuz I love to talk to myself. Plus, I love to talk to myself with a sassy tone and now I am a good storyteller and a poem reader.. (I'm 14 years old) 😂 I recommend it! Talking to yourself really works but you have to becareful if you have any grammar errors.. if you want to be a great storyteller or a poem reader, talk to yourself with a dramatic tone so that you can tell a story / read a poem more fun that when people hear your story, they would actually be interested in hearing it~
I'm very tend to the tips no.4, thank you I think you tips I kinda very useful, learning English isnt about having a good grade for English but it's about how fun it is... ✌️
I got a group of friends that like to speak english every single day in school but everytime I talk to them in english they always ask me to repeat because my pronunciation is not clear and I end up repeating the same thing and end up saying it in malay... I can said a word in english fluently but everytime I'm going to say a sentence I'll stutter 😔
Its ok to be like that in the beginning! Just keep on practicing your english bc if u dont start now then when? It may be hard mula2 but you’ll get there in the end ❤️ goodluck!
I'd say the best way to speak English is watching movies repeatedly as you can pick up what native speakers say. It'll be easier to learn some sentences or even question structures. You'll be spontenously speak English after watching hundreds of it 😊
Omg, i just knock the subscribe button just because i like the way you encourage me to start speak and its okay to be wrong. Thank youuuuuuuuuu. You contribute a lot for me to improve my self..
I did the same thing, whenever I'm alone in my room, I'll act like I talk to someone although it's kind of creepy. Anyway, this video helped me improved my english so much! Thank you :)
hi irdina! i can speak english, but i not fluently 👁👄👁 i dont have confident to speak english with people cuz some people will critize my grammar 😭 when i watched your video, i have confident to speak english 😇 tqq
I am in the journey of improving my English, both in writing and pronunciation, and then I found your video ! Your tips really help. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward for more videos from you :)
Hi! English is not hard if you find the suitable method for you! I used to find it hard too but it got easier when I learned how to conquer the basics.
@@fireflysho3399 Yup! I did share some in one of my videos. Here's a summary though: And these are assuming that you have mastered pronunciation: 1. Find a text, read carefully and aim for 100% accuracy and then repeat slowly at first and go faster until the point you can repeat without making mistakes. This is like a mouth acrobat. 2. Practice common phrases that native speakers(who are educated) use in daily discourse. Same like the above, repeat slowly until you can say it quickly.
thank you for making this video, this video really help me as a candidate for pt3 2019, trust me,your video really makes me a vibes to become a confident student to speak english. I'm a type of student that only know how to make a good english writing but not a good english speakers and your helps me a lot! thank you so much❤
this is really an amazing video, i got my encouragement throughout watching this video. i have a problem in pronoucing my english sometimes and i kind of feeling awkward whenever i made it in the public ahaha thank you for the video! keep coming with more good videos, keep inspiring! xx
Pelat tu boleh buang, percayalah. Saya dulu pelat manglish punyala pekat tapi lepas SPM jumpa cara nak buang pelat. Confidence pun boleh bina. Kalau nak saya tolong buat video explain apa yang awak rasa tak berapa paham, boleh tengok channel saya, haha
I did try talking with my friends yet they tried but...Cause I'm the only one that understand English well so whenever I speak english to them,It came out horribly..😅
Ah, nice video Irdina! A lot of your tips are actually what I practiced myself when I was younger. I'm glad that you discovered this at your age and shared this with your friends. I have a video on my channel about pronunciation tapi lebih kepada English orang Amerika. Tapi kalau berminat boleh la tengok, haha. Anyway, you earned my subscription, keep it up!
OMG..Akak...the fact that you talked to yourself when cooking,or doing skincare and make up..is 100% same with me..i even got scolded with my mom for cooking while talking with myself..because it makes the work slow😂
BM sy ok la, tak boleh cakap sangat cepat, tapi boleh faham dan ada banyak keyakinan untuk cakap dan berkomunikasi. But my English is so bad, even reading. And the worst is , I'll lost my confidence a lot in my speaking and writing because I will worry about the grammar (actually I always hesitate when i wrote this comment hahhaha) Fortunately, i found a yt Chanel which is talk about classical music, TwoSetViolin. I learned English from them and now i try to change my environment to a English environment, that why i watched your video yeahhh
