People get surprised when I say that I've reached the advanced level thanks to South Park, Big Bang Theory and Dexter :) This really works! And you know, somehow this helped improve not only listening skills, but speaking skills too! I didn't expect that because I wasn't really repeating anything or talking to myself. And this is a great way of being kind of surrounded by native speakers as you said :) Thanks for the tips regarding the active approach, this is awesome!
Some teachers say that the only way to master English is by just listening. Thiago teaches us the real way to master the language, rejecting the notion that simply listening will magically make us fluent
Hello,Thiago i just would like to say for you that i'm so happy with my progress in english and you are help me a lot ,i'm not fluent still but now i can understand native speakers and listening Music, watching series and movies in english. And it make me so happy.thank you for it,Thiago.❤
Keep going cause I know how hard it is to learn a new language. Hope you don't mind, but I'd like to help you out by pointing some mistakes that you made. "❌to say for you❌" x "✅to say to you✅" - when you're saying something you say it TO someone. "❌you are help me❌" x "✅you are helping me✅" - you have to use the present perfect continuous when you're talking about something that is still happening. "❌I'm not fluet still❌" x "✅I'm not fluent yet / I'm still not fluent✅" - it's not grammatically correct to use STILL at the end of a sentence like this. "❌listening music❌" x "✅listening to music✅" - when you're listening you listen to something, in this case, you should say "listen to music". "❌It make me happy❌" x "✅It/that makes me happy✅" - when the subject of a sentence is "it, she, he, this or that" you have to use the main verb of that sentence in the third-person singular form. That's all, my friend. Have a good day and never give up on achieving the fluency.
You're great Thiago! Too many years ago I saw Friend's series in Spanish and now I'm watching it in English without subtitles but I'm doing it for fun and learning 2 or 3 episodes every single day. Right now I'm going to try to do your method for only 10 or 15 minutes just to learn!!I think it is better than mine 😂. Appreciate that keep going Thiago
You are right. Iam also very lazy when i want to watch movies and series. Although, I will force myself in future because i noticed how much i improved my listening skills last few months (listen to music, podcasts etc..). Listening is the most important part in english. If you can understand what other ppl ask you, you will find a way how to reply even with lower english level. But if you cant understand, vocabulary means almost nothing. Iam currently a half of B1 level (next year i will be B1 ) and iam really satisfied with my progress. I ve learned actively english since last year and yes, consistency is a key for everything in a life. You wont see results at the beginning but after few months definitely. I still struggle when i want to understand native ppl (i can understand you everything), but before, i couldnt understand anything, now i can understand 40-50%. I started to feel "native english" atlhough, its still a big way in front of me. But anyway, i can easy understand non native speakers worldwide , even who are B2 or C1 level and its the most important thing. Other things will come with proces :D .
Hi Thiago, I'm very happy to see how your channel is growing. I'm looking forward to when it reaches 100k subscribers; I'll celebrate it. I started my journey to become fluent in English when I was 43 years old. Now, I'm 45, and I have improved my English skills by listening to you and following your advice since I came across your videos on the RealLife English channel. I still have a lot to improve, but I've reached an English level that allows me to be an English user, and you are part of that achievement. Thank you, Thiago.
Thiago, your video clip in English real life and your own channel is veryyyyy useful, especially with the subtitle, please make more video for us, English learners, thank you for everything, i apreciate u.
I as a Brazilian can understand everything that you said because you speak so clearly i wish all people spoke like you but sometimes I can´t understand very well a native speaker.
Hi Thiago. Thank you for this video. I’m brazilian and I am living in the USA since last year. So far I have only learned english listening to people on my daily life. I’m gonna use your tips to improve my vocabulary. Have a great day.
Hi Thiago, perphaps i have a2 level to read and write but a0 my level by hear, i read 80% what you tall in podcast and another video. By the way you speak slowly and you descrybe is very simple and accurate word selection, i hear you video voice at hours in day for hear learning. Please if you can, more long podcasts on simple everyday topics that are suitable for discussion at level a2-c1. Thank you very much for your work.
i usualy used the anki for improve my vocabulary and watching video in english every day , i now i am watching break bad with subtiltle in english and audio in english too........
Great tip! I use this method from a few months and I can see progress. I don’t even know when I actually learn. I only realize this after some time. Good job Thiago
Thank you Thiago for the great job you are doing, im so passionate with your perseverance to build this new channel... Really your tips is very handy and useful, just one question, sometimes i feel the episode is too long for me , i guess if it's around 20 to 30 minutes it might be more watchable..❤
Thanks for sharing that. The Sunday videos tend to be shorter, around 20 minutes. As an alternative, you could watch the longer videos in two or three separate sessions. But I'll take that into account. Thanks for following the channel!
I really enjoy tjis video. Thanks a lot Thiago. I'm new to your channel. I already subscribed. I loved all the steps to do when watching short clips from a series or a movie. From now on I will practice 30 minutes everyday.
How it's going Thiago? This class was absolutely AMAZING!! It's help me a lot, completely opening up my mind for this topic. Thank you so much. I also continue making shadowing your videos. Hahahaa. See you soon, take care!!! P.S. Forgive me for any errors in writing.
Your work inspires us alot.Keep working.Sir why not make one video about pronunciation,accent and phonology/ phonetic.we are looking forward to making one video about this amazing topic.
Now I can understand you even without subtitles keep up the good work (Cota), this is the way we treat someone who is older than us in English we say elder...
Cool, what a worthwhile video! I've never seen anything like this before. It really opened my mind. This is a wonderful technique for actively watching content.
Hi, Mr Thiago. Thank you for creating useful videos. I think it would be better if you turned off subtitles below the video because it is interrupting to watch freely. I can understand without subtitles; if anyone needs them, they can easily be turned on by the TH-cam feature, and I think listening without subtitles would be more useful to other learners to adapt their ears to English tune.
Thanks for everything. This episode is very helpful, and I have a better understanding of what I have to improve my English skills properly. Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us!!!
Hi, Mr Thiago, this is amazing episode, sir keep embark in the language, i love your dedication that you tell, cause it inspires us. Belongs Tv shows, series or movies, it will be interesting and useful time, you can't beat that.
Thank you very much Thiago for putting the active subtitles on your video, it helps me a lot. I have been watching all your videos since the beginning !
Hi Thiago. I am in the back. One experiment says that while you are having fun, your brain learns something by just repeating it 20 times, but if not, it takes 500 times. The experiment was about training athletes like boxers, footballers, etc. I think it also applies to English. Similar to what you mentioned.
Great video Thiago! Your way to learn English from movies and TV series is very similar to the method of A.J Hoge from TH-cam. He released about a decade ago a series of video where he talks about how to learn English without boring studying, grammar books etc. The series is called "Effortless English".. In on of those videos he shares a similar method of learning English from movie/TV series clips, but it's a bit more elaborate. In his method, we take short clip like 3-4 minutes and we deeply learn from it for 6-7 days based on the same clip :) Beginning from watching a clip in our first language, ending with shadowing without English subtitles. I found his method about 5 years ago and I can honestly say that it very works, but we need to be patient. Learning from movies and TV series is for me the most convenient and fun way to learn English. It takes only about 15-20 minutes a day of learning based on his method - the time depends on the level difficulty of the clip you choose.
Nice, thanks for sharing that. Based on what you're telling me, what I like about his method is this idea of just focusing on one clip for around a week. Working with the same piece of content over and over is really powerful! And I also liked what you said about having to be patient. That's exactly it. It's about intentional, deliberate work while being patient to wait for the results to come over time. Again, thanks for sharing!
Hi teatcher ❤ I ve been watching series in english nowadays for improve my English,one of this I would like to recommend to students to watch, there are a Lot of random situations and accents,The good place from Netflix ❤
Hello Thiago, greetings from Mexico. Thank you for teaching us a lot, this channel is really of great help for people who want to speak English. Speaking of this super method, how can I retain and remember the words I learn in my study scenes? My problem is that at that moment I feel like I can remember those words but then I forget them. What should I do with the words I study in each scene each week and try not to forget them?
I recommend using a spaced repetition software like Anki. You can create your own flashcards with definitions with it. Then, you can review those words from time to time until you internalize them. Another alternative is simply creating sentences with the words you're trying to internalize. Remember: If you don't use it, you lose it!
I just wanna make my parents convinced about it...but they think it's mobile addiction...as a minor it's an impediment in the way of my aspiration...of English 😢😢😢
Yeah! That's right. I watch "The Office" every day. But I watch with Polish subtitles. It is for fun and for listen English. I will change the settings after your podcast, I turn on English subtitles. And we will see :D Thank you!
Absolutely! Like I said in the video, consuming movies and TV series more passively is already great. But in order to see better results, I recommend applying the active approach as well. :)
I've been watching a lots of videos and series in english, I starting understand very well and some times I read short stories, but I can't speak fluently yet, I'm still strunggling with my speaking. and about songs I' have some dificults to undertand, music it's very hard.
@@teacher.thiagoalencar I want to ask you. if I watch 3-5 hours content only in English will my English improve to high level? (I really want 2B. and sorry about mistakes. I think my level is 2A. or very low B1.)

as a brazilian, I have to say your accent is so easy for me to understand that I set the speed to 2x haha
Brazuca na área. Tamo junto!
Hahaha a mesma coisa comigo. Estou impressionado que eu coloquei em 2x e ainda assim entendi 100%
