@@MadEnglishTV I agree your lecture mark,mostly friendly people are found only in the church and if you have a talent for singing, guitar,piano,luckily they will invite you and ask your phone no.to come next Sunday service and welcoming you the group.
Mark, maybe you live in a poor place in Cangary, but I have not doubt that you're very rich. As I can see, you are wise , sociable, calm, intelligent, cheerful ,friendly person . You are a very rich because you has many advantages. Yes, you can meet good friends in church (maybe in Canada is it easiest )but in church in Canada or in Church in other cantry you always can meet the best friend who is God
Wow! Amazing! I am sure this lecture will help me at least. You really gave us good suggestions. I'm very impressed with this lesson. This lesson was like you're speaking to me directly not on youtube.
I loved your channel. I could listen to you all day. You have a very calm and easy way to teach. And by the way, you are 100% right.People don´t mix. I am Brazilian and I´ve been living in Toronto for 18 months and even though I´m a friendly person, I find it very difficult to make new friends here.
Wow wow I see how I'm fortunate with teacher like you , how I didn't meet you before, how a petty... if I cold that before ( I intend meeting you) maybe I was be fortunate much much before than now ... thanks a lot any way for training to help me and for your useful, sincere advices too 🙏🤗😉
Hey, Mark. That is totally true. I have been lived in Guelph for three years, after lived in Mississauga. We found a wonderful Church, after went to other three before this one. The vast majority of people here is elderly, but on the other hand are several students because of the University of Guelph. Also, I learnt a lot about this community that was the first white farm in the 19th Century. When we went to our Church one of the thing that I really loved was that they follow God in the Jesuit Ignatian tradition. I remember the first day we went everyone was looked at us (you know we were almost "new people", but now after three years, and became member of the parish I have a few friends. The relationship is not like: come over my house! but I can chat with them in English. Also, I help the Father with some things in the Parish. I am catholic and for me is the place that I going to have some peace and to feed my soul, moreover I want to grow in faith. I am not going to lay (some people are cold), but is the minority. The only thing that I know is everybody is welcome. ;)
I am so impressed with your lesson. It has been one year since I came to Red deer in Alberta. I have to tell you. I need to go out of comfort zone. I need to be changed first. Thanks for good advice
Thanks for the tips Mark. I want to study English in Toronto in September or October. I'll be on vacation from work. And I'll definitely go to a church.
I am experiencing this right now. My wife and I started to visit a local church here in Cloverdale and it is amazing how every Sunday we meet a new person. They haven't invited us for lunch yet but we are working on it. XD
I came from Brazil and I’ve been living in Moncton for 7 months. I've made good friends here and surely church is one of the greatest places that you can find friendly people that are willing to help you in many ways. Now I’ll have to follow your advice again because next week I’ll be living in Calgary! Thank you for your lessons, your channel is the best!
Hi mark, For me when im go to the new place i always looking for the church first, and you are right Mark like what you said that people on churches are very friendly.I tasted and proven. Thank much for discuss about this. Very helful. More Power!
Good evening Mark I am Chinese living in New Zealand. I love learning English from you channel. Your lessons are stimulating and engaging. You have done good job.
Absolutely no doubt you are right. As I am look forward to immigrate to other countries I already thought this idea as I am a born Christian. Really worth watching this video. Keep it up..
My neighbor emigrated to Canada 1.5 years ago. Recently he came to his mother. He told me the same story, that every group of community lives in your comfort zone. He is Russian, he found Kazakh family and going to move to that place, there are a climate a little bit warmer. I think he wants to find own comfort zone. I didn't asked, but I understood, that his family emigrated on church line.
I am ENAM from BANGLADESH. Your teaching style is very good. I am greatful to you because my learning is improving from your teaching in case of listening. but I I am very weak in speaking. Now what should I do? .........So keep it up.
It is very interesting Mark, we have same situation in India. I live in Delhi. Here i can see South Indian peoples lives in a one place, North East Indian peoples live in another area. they don't like to mix each other. The situation is better now, after social media and facebook, the peoples are meeting and helping each other. earlier the situation was really critical . peoples were living in their comfort zone. Your idea is excellent and it will be good for any society.
Hi Mark, that's the great piece of advice. I will definitely go to church and make some great English speaking native Canadian friends. No one has ever given such advice.
Hi Mark. Wow, wow this video is spectacular, is one of the best with you've made, you are good in that for give tips. My plan is when I arrived I will go to the Church closest one and I'll make friends at least one. And I hope to find a friend like with you. Yes, first I need surround me with just Canadian people, because I need know your customes and learn very quickly your language and I need take off the fear. I promess behave well in your channel, well I'll try 😥, and no more comments in double sense. Sorry. 😉 😊 Has been many watched videos without thank you as right way for all this tips you give and I feel proud to lear it from you. 😄 😄 Hasta la vista amigo... I like very much your channel and your style. 😎 Bye bye, you have a nice night.😜
Hi there, I belong to a Sikh family, living in Himachal Pradesh in India . One of my college friend referred your link to improve English......., I started watching ur videos today and have watched 15 videos on first day , all are suburb videos bro☺️ U are doing a great work... will persistently follow u from today onwards🤘🏼🤘🏼🙏🏻
Hey Mark, Thank you I really liked this advice I'm in Canada about 3 years but I don't have any Canadian friend. I like to have a Canadian friends so I will do it. But now with this pandemic I think a little bit difficult. Thank you.
You're really very nice guy and your way to explain is very attractive. I wanna just add one thing which is most religions prohibit visiting other religions worshipping places. Therefore, I prefer that you recommend other ideas for making native speakers friends. Thanks and keep it up.
Hi Mark! I am very happy to discover your channel. Congratulations to your job, it is wonderful! I have many doubts about culture in Canada and your videos help me a lot. I would definitely like to be your friend! One day we will meet in Calgary. Thanks very much!
You are a great person keeps it up I will follow you Mark. eventhough you post it before 4 years ago now if possible add additional information and update it please.
Awesome tips! I'm in love with your videos! I'm a newcomer to Canada and your videos are helping me a lot, and you have such a great vibe. Thank you so much! :) 💕
Hey Mark, I agree with you. I leave my zone and I’m trying to find Canadian friends. So, it doesn’t matter where we go, just be brave and try to contact to other people.
No, no, no 😂😂😂 I just finished watching your next video "Where to live in Canada?", and I was about to ask you if there is a place in Canada where it never snows and the temperature never drops below zero. 🤔
-I'm Brazilian and I will move to New Brunswick in September to make a college but before that I want to improve my English conversation. -But I don't know how to speak here in Brasil whit a Canadian people, and I decide play a on-line game to improve my conversation. -But I will go to a church in Canada wen I go. -Thanks for the videos, helps me a lot...!!!
Estimated mark Once again I write to you from Santiago de Chile. I am happy learning from your videos. When I learn to speak English well it will be for you. This video (how to make friends) is great. I am a Christian (I am Adventist) and I really like your strategy of visiting churches to learn English. I attend a small church and here we are very friendly with visitors. We have many foreigners. Hopefully one day you come to chile. It has beautiful landscapes and a pleasant Mediterranean climate. A hug. Alex Pozo
Mark, you have a pretty big heart. Keep in your mind, wealth is very relative. The things we can buy are not important because the most valuable ones are for free. By the way, I noticed you say "a church", my teacher taught me, no "a/the" is used with the word "church".
Fantastic!Thank you teacher,your videos are so practical and knowledgeable.When i come to Canada,i won’t stay in comfort zone,I’d like to go to church to make friends with friendly people. I wanna experience different life haha
Such a wonderful lesson. I agree, the main condition to make friends is to get oneself in the friendly environment - this might be also a group of people with the same hobby.
I am really impressed by your personality. I do some volunteering but in other field - I help students with their essays they wrote for other lecturers, to prepare to other exams etc. It gives me a lot of feedback later, when I meet my students on the streets, in the shop, they do not blow off, but stop, we have a chat, I know a lot of people this way.
Hi mark,thanks a lot for this wonderful idea, i revealed this channel recently bt it's interesting ,canada is my dream country how can i come to canada?
I’m happy because you’re my first ever true Canadian friend. Though I met you (virtually) in TH-cam, I’m very certain it would be much lovelier if I meet you in person inside the church-where we can share one belief and faith. Maybe you’ll be the first too who will invite me to have lunch in your “condo” after the service!😃. We will eat Canadian-Filipino dishes!! 👍I hope you’re happy too to befriend to a Filipina like me. Till then, God bless you and the works of your hand..🤗
Hello Mark! My plan is work hard and make a lot of English friends, I hope I get slightly a success. Ah! I'd forgotten I want to live in Calgary is a amazing place.
Interesting but one crucial question is never asked: what do we mean by friends? I have a feeling that what constitutes friendship in most English speaking countries does not necessarily constitute friendship in other cultures
Very true, glad you brought this up. In most non-anglo cultures, people only have a handful of friends, or even less like 1 - 3, but these are people they have a very strong bond with. This number would be considered pathetic in Anglo countries where people seem to expect you to have around 10 friends or more, with an attitude of "the more the merrier". However if you examine these Anglo 'friends' they are not real friends, merely what another culture would call an acquaintance. In a lot of cases Anglo people seem to call everyone they know (other than family) a friend, even if they dislike them! No way in other cultures!
Hi Mark, Here in Israel we come from many different contries. But all of us alredy mixed🙂 It take about 5 years, to feel part of this country. I leave here almost 30 years and I defenitly have freinds who was born here. In the workplace also all peple try to mix.
My name is Adam. Currently trying to learn English successfully following your "mad" lessons. BTW, I really like your country, once I was even dreaming to move there (I speak French already) but no chances
As you told in the present video, me too I'm rather scared quitting my comfort zone, this is the point. And then, I consider my English not good enough (as the French-speaking Quebec seems to me relatively "closed" to get some satisfying job).
I think that exercise is also a good way to make new friends. I play basketball on the campus and make a lot of friends. I talked with them during the break. The most important thing is do not be shy! Feel free to talk to anyone.
There isn't any English man residing in my neighborhood. But this can't stop me from making English friends. I have a new English friend. He is good looking. He has a great personality. He has beautiful accent of English when he speaks English with his sexy voice. He is Canadian. Here you go, my English teacher Mark! We interact almost everyday. Mark is my best friend. I have developed soft spot for him.
I'm from Indonesia and I live in NW of Calgary. I'm thinking of taking CELPIP exam in a few weeks, that's why I found your youtube channel. Thank you very much for making all the videos, they are really helpful and I enjoy them.
I had some lovely friends in Leicester who invited me over lunch and dinner. I also went to a Church which was a scary but unique experience. I might try this but I would be much more comfortable in volunteering at a local mosque instead. For exploring some other uncomfortable things, I might try to live in a neighborhood that's somewhat different like instead of living in the northeast portion of the chart you showed, I could live in the northwestern region. May be I can have some good Chinese friends. Also, I don't think it should be a problem in making some English friends. C'mon, it's such a pity for those who are living there for such a long time and they haven't got any English friends. I have a very good Canadian English friend and I haven't even visited Canada yet.
Hi amazing video wooow my God, GOD bless you and your family, i watch only two of your videos am very happy with your lessons, i will start watching your channel and i really want to speak to you.
Hello Mark. When I return to Canada I will try to go to de Church.... On the last year I went to Calgary, It's a nice place, I stayed at a Canadian's home, and we talk with the owner everyday, but not all the time! Thanks!
What can I say, you are a wonderful person, thank you very much!!! I would like to go to Canada and to stay over there for a month and to visit the Church and to speak English. Why not!
While I visited to Vancouver, I went swimming in Community Centre and I met a lot of people from local and other countries . We greeted and made a short conversation with each other at the sauna. So I want to add that we can make friends at swimming pool as well 😊
I'm you fan froom morrocco and I want to meet English friends but in other place and for me in this video I think you encourage people to go in church 😮
Church is a great place to meet people because it's an environment where people will approach you and talk. Most English learners are afraid to approach people.
If I would have the oportunity to improve my English, I will go to a Church in Vancouver. I know a church is the best way to meet english speakers, and make friends. Thank you for your advice.
Hi Mark, I agree with your idea that being a volunteer or going to church is available to assist the immigrants or foreign students in fitting into the Western culture and local communities, without paying the price for their shyness. The two suggestions of yours are simple but progressive, cautious, and humble-minded, so are your teaching methods I think. Thank you and have fun! Tom
When you said sit down, watch people and copy them, that reminds me of Mr Bean when he was singing Hallelujah in church 😁😆
Haha, that's so funny! You're right! 😄😄
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
Indeed, the environment in the church is great !
In my experience, churches have extremely friendly people.
@@MadEnglishTV I agree your lecture mark,mostly friendly people are found only in the church and if you have a talent for singing, guitar,piano,luckily they will invite you and ask your phone no.to come next Sunday service and welcoming you the group.

Yes, you can meet good friends in church (maybe in Canada is it easiest )but in church in Canada or in Church in other cantry you always can meet the best friend who is God
You're right Halka! God is the best friend. 🤗🤗
Thank you so much. My heart is rich. 😊 My bank account is poor. 😅
awesome
@@MadEnglishTV 😃😃absolutely God is the best.

I am looking any English friends
Wow! Amazing! I am sure this lecture will help me at least. You really gave us good suggestions. I'm very impressed with this lesson. This lesson was like you're speaking to me directly not on youtube.

Studying and working. Trying to become an immigrant :)
Awesome!
Mi opinion Is same like you.
Your lesson are made to make people think out of the box. Thanks for doing that.

He is Russian, he found Kazakh family and going to move to that place, there are a climate a little bit warmer. I think he wants to find own comfort zone.

Dear Mr.Mark if I come to Canada first of all I will go to the mosque to pray and stay there thanking God for his blessing .
I like those ideas! 👍👍
If I went to Canada. I would volunteer at the zoo and would find a part-time job at an English school, to begin with.
That's great! We need your help in the winter to prevent all our giraffes from freezing to death. 😂
No, no, no 😂😂😂
I just finished watching your next video "Where to live in Canada?", and I was about to ask you if there is a place in Canada where it never snows and the temperature never drops below zero. 🤔
Haha, there's no place in Canada that doesn't drop below zero. Vancouver usually hovers around zero in the winter. Sometimes it might go down to -10.
What a pity! )
Yup! We have no Sochi equivalent here!
-I'm Brazilian and I will move to New Brunswick in September to make a college but before that I want to improve my English conversation.
-But I don't know how to speak here in Brasil whit a Canadian people, and I decide play a on-line game to improve my conversation.
-But I will go to a church in Canada wen I go.
-Thanks for the videos, helps me a lot...!!!

As you told in the present video, me too I'm rather scared quitting my comfort zone, this is the point. And then, I consider my English not good enough (as the French-speaking Quebec seems to me relatively "closed" to get some satisfying job).
Have you lived in Poland for your whole life, Adam?
I think that exercise is also a good way to make new friends. I play basketball on the campus and make a lot of friends. I talked with them during the break.
The most important thing is do not be shy! Feel free to talk to anyone.
Awesome! 😃
I love this topic, and Mark, you're a nice person.
There isn't any English man residing in my neighborhood. But this can't stop me from making English friends. I have a new
English friend. He is good looking. He has a great personality. He has beautiful accent of English when he speaks English with his sexy voice. He is Canadian. Here you go, my English teacher Mark! We interact almost everyday. Mark is my best friend. I have developed soft spot for him.
Haha, thank you so much Stefanie! 😃😃
@@MadEnglishTV My pleasure 😊
It's great job, Mark!
Wow... new things to know about Calgary. Thanks.
You're welcome! Where are you from?
I'm from Indonesia and I live in NW of Calgary. I'm thinking of taking CELPIP exam in a few weeks, that's why I found your youtube channel. Thank you very much for making all the videos, they are really helpful and I enjoy them.
Cool! 😃 I'm glad you like my videos! Are you living in Calgary permanently?
I'm planning to, graduate from college last year and just started working this year.
Congratulations!
I had some lovely friends in Leicester who invited me over lunch and dinner. I also went to a Church which was a scary but unique experience.
I might try this but I would be much more comfortable in volunteering at a local mosque instead. For exploring some other uncomfortable things, I might try to live in a neighborhood that's somewhat different like instead of living in the northeast portion of the chart you showed, I could live in the northwestern region. May be I can have some good Chinese friends.
Also, I don't think it should be a problem in making some English friends. C'mon, it's such a pity for those who are living there for such a long time and they haven't got any English friends.
I have a very good Canadian English friend and I haven't even visited Canada yet.
Is there in Calgary have any Cambodian community? Thanks so much for good video
I'm not sure!
Calgary it's a nice place, i never been there but it's nice
Hi Mark! Awesome tips! In 2020 my family and I are going to Toronto, and we'll do both, go to church and do some volunteering!
Hi! 😃😃That's awesome!
Sir now you are my friend. Our friendship is 50% that is from my side, hope it will be 100% in future.
The more I watched your video, the more I like you. How can a talented person like you be poor...
Well, in the future, hopefully I won't be poor. 😄😄
Nice

Hello Mark.
When I return to Canada I will try to go to de Church....
On the last year I went to Calgary, It's a nice place, I stayed at a Canadian's home, and we talk with the owner everyday, but not all the time!
Thanks!
😃😃
Thank you,somuch
that's great idea
😃
What can I say, you are a wonderful person, thank you very much!!! I would like to go to Canada and to stay over there for a month and to visit the Church and to speak English. Why not!
Thank you for everything Mark! You're kind, wise, and awesome person. I think I already have a friend. :)😊
😃😃Thanks so much!
I love Christians! .. I love you Mark ❤❤ you're the best.
😃😃
Thank you for this valuable advice
While I visited to Vancouver, I went swimming in Community Centre and I met a lot of people from local and other countries . We greeted and made a short conversation with each other at the sauna. So I want to add that we can make friends at swimming pool as well 😊
When I go to Canada I will visit u and give a big Hug.
I'm you fan froom morrocco and I want to meet English friends but in other place and for me in this video I think you encourage people to go in church 😮
Church is a great place to meet people because it's an environment where people will approach you and talk. Most English learners are afraid to approach people.
I love your videos sir :) but the problem is that ads suddenly appear and ruin..
If I would have the oportunity to improve my English, I will go to a Church in Vancouver. I know a church is the best way to meet english speakers, and make friends. Thank you for your advice.
Awesome! I like it.
thanks Mark this video help me a lot
😃😃
Hi Mark, I agree with your idea that being a volunteer or going to church is available to assist the immigrants or foreign students in fitting into the Western culture and local communities, without paying the price for their shyness. The two suggestions of yours are simple but progressive, cautious, and humble-minded, so are your teaching methods I think. Thank you and have fun! Tom
