So, I want to leave a comment. Actually, six months ago, my English was very slow and bad. So, I started watching at least 10 minutes of your videos every day. One of the reasons I kept watching is that you guys use simple words, which made it understandable. Day by day, I started watching more challenging content and so on. Now, my level has improved, and I am so grateful. Keep doing this, guys! Kamchybek 19 year is old. From Kyrgyzstan 🇰🇬❤
You don't have to pay a lot attention to English Grammar when you attempt to speak fluently. I'm agree with you. Nevertheless, when you're trying to improve your listening, it could help you to try to figure it out what's actually the right choice
I mean when you're hearing a recording, and you have to choose the best answer, if you look the grammar of the chances, it could help you to find out the right answer more quickly.
I have really experienced this situation. My all teachers always say the same thing . They always emphasize the importance of grammar . Therefore, I make a lot of mistakes in speaking exams , but I hope this episode would be effective for me . Thank you so much ❤😊
Exactly !! Japanese English education system forced to learn grammar hard and it cause less confidence of speaking cause we’re always trying to speak with correct grammar
I don't believe that someone can learn English without learning the basic structure of the language but just listening to music or watching series or movies. I myself, when I was at the very beginning of my studying, didn't know about the basic rules and structure at all. I had started learning English by Alexander Dragunkin and just in 6-7 months I understood how it works and I didn't make stupid mistakes like 'she come' or 'he would goes' Maybe I'm not that intelligent like many students but I'm glad I came upon my first virtual teacher who taught me the basics After that I had watched a lot of media in English and red a lot of texts which expanded my vocabulary significantly. Now I'm reading the Harry Potter books with some 90% understanding without using a dictionary.
Hello, how can I find the book or course by A. Dragunkin? I've searched for it in other versions (such as Spanish), but I can only find it in Russian. I would appreciate it if you could help me with more information to find it.

Thank you for your inspiring and informative video with great conversation! From my perspective, native speakers never need to learn much about grammar since they were immersed in a environment where their native language emerged everywhere, they have bunch of ‘data’ being input and they have endless time to consume and internalize those patterns. What’s more, I think toddlers below the age of 3 may own the ability of learning language in a natural way due to some brain cognitive mechanisms. As for non-natives, I think it’s somehow useful and necessary to systematically learn some basic and fundamental grammar to open their door to a new language, especially for those languages from another language family. But I do agree that people shouldn’t pay so much attention on grammar learning and dig into those detailed grammar rules or tiny mistakes they may have made. Grammar and connection to people in real world are ‘ two legs for walking’ :)
One the one hand grammar is essential for speaking competently but on the other hand it's not the whole world for speaking fluently... So I am fine either way... And great episode guys .😊😊😊😊
There's alway s different purposes of learning English. I like what you Izzy mentions in 15:23. Grammar is a key component of most (if not all) prestigious international English tests. Grammar may always be a plus.
The language is basically for communication and to speak naturally the focus should be on listening and speaking rather than writing and Grammer the big error of the school English is that the teacher gives great emphasis on Grammer rules and neglect listening and speaking skills . So many students master Grammer rules and can't speak real natural English and this is very frustrating . They don't understand natives while speaking. I see there are two solutions for this problem First the main concentration should be on listening and speaking as any language is a means of communication Secondly, Grammer is important but it should be taught in real practice giving many examples from our real life. In other words, if the teacher explains the present simple so he should make his students talk about their daily routines . In this way the teacher puts the Grammer into real practice
I agree the poinsts u mentioned, because of grammar is not first priority when you learning a language, u need some basics that can understand the sentences but if u fully focus on grammar it will damage your speaking ability .U always feel afraid of making mistakes .
It was a great podcast ❤ What you guys say is really true, I live in Sri Lanka which is one of the touristic countries. Just the other day I saw this guy who was talking to this woman from another country. I've seen this guy many times around my city, maybe he is a person who spends all his time just wandering around the city, so maybe he is a street smart guy & knowing nothing about grammar. This is a bad habit, but I did want to listen to their conversation, I mean I wanted to hear his way of speaking. I was amazed by listening to it, He didn't use grammar so much but somehow he was able to get his idea across, & he connected sentences just like a native does. And this women she is from Germany & she's a really nice person, like with genuine smiles, maybe she's in her mid twenties. I didn't want to listen to their whole conversation because that's a bad idea. But they must've been made a great connection & She talked about her tour. I felt ashamed because I've learned English from school & after studies, I'm still learning. but I'm still afraid of speaking in English, I don't think that I would be able to speak like that, If I were in that situation. Besides he somehow used grammar here & there, so he might've been developed his grammar skills by listening to those grammar patterns of other speakers. So I guess there're other things that matter most to have a great connection. Some of them are like communication skills & your ability to understand other person.
Hey Dilshan, thank you so much for sharing this story! My friend, don't be harsh with yourself. You've been doing a great job! Remember that learning is not a sprint, but a marathon! We have no doubts that you'll get there! ❤
@@RealLifeEnglish1 I hope so 😊 Thanks for the encouragement. You guys help me a lot to get there. I've been listening to RealLife podcasts for quite a while now, so I could see that I'm gradually getting used to those language patterns ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing! I hope you can be that person in the future who doesn't feel shy or afraid to come up to tourists and connect with them just like that "street-smart" guy from your story!
@@kseniaaktash9242 Thank you so much 😊 I'm working on to build up that courage, hope I'll do that oneday. By the way teacher, your way of speaking is amazing. It makes these podcasts more beautiful & fun. Ethan & Izzy are amazing teachers too, hope to learn more things from you guys ❤️

Rich people say money is not important, Beauties say beauty is not important, Native speakers say grammar doesn't matter! And you think everything is not important?
Sorry ,but im thinking its lake, What is more important left hand or right I must that when you are finally learned all grammar its only begining, cos when you begin to listen native, they speak with accent may be not correctly, cos even in our native language we make a mistake, and dont notice When it comes to comrrehension you need hour to learn how to understand natives not only by serries or show but in many cituasions and exept 12 tenses there is active and passive voises and it fundamental for undestanding Exept this there are praisal verbs that imposible to learn all cos its only translation practice and prepositions that tottaly change the meaning of the word Its all acpects of English that have equal importance for language learning
Oh ksenia came .U know ksenia ,I can't agree with your idea cus I don't believe it without knowing basic grammar skills speaking english is not possible to speak in vivid & proper .
i do fully disagree with you cause i d already been working in usa for years in the past and actually speak english fluently but it depends to who you re coping with either ppl knows how to communiicate in english or not..im from brasil..
Why are you saying this? For my perspective they was explain the way that we need to use the language not focusing on grammar but in patterns. This was something that I did in the last year and helped me a lot to improve my comunications skills. Now I know that I really need to study more grammar to raise the bar.
