When a native speaker makes a mistake other native speakers probably don’t even notice.😅
Haha yes! It's always like this hehe
True, as a native English speaker pronunciation is way more important than grammar. We can usually understand what is trying to be said as long as the pronunciation is correct
😄 yes
😂😂
@@veronika_languagediaries woare you from
Oh, it's so nostalgic to come back to your videos. At the beginning of my learning journey, you helped me a lot and kept me motivated. Now, I feel extremely confident in speaking, writing, and listening in English. In summary, anyone who tries to improve their skills every day can become fluent. I believe in that.
Is there a key or some shortcut ?
Hard work is the best shortcut. Not only in language learning. 🙂
Awesome 👍
@@larcegeogriev3810 well to be honest there are a lot of methods but they work differently for everyone so it's kind of hard to explain.
@@renatoquispechavez854 please try
I've watched your videos for about 3 months. and for those days. and I've searched a lot of English talking vedioes on TH-cam. Today, I found and realized that Veronika, you are really good at speaking English and very good at making up sentences smoothly despite non-native speaker. I respect you sincerely.
Normally I don't understand much of what people say, but I understood your video completely, your pronunciation is perfect, I'm already subscribing to see more videos every day!
you can ，your says isbeautiful
I think we all understand her because she try to speak clearly cause her listeners are don’t native speakers of English) of course it’s harder for us to listen native speakers, they speak basically as always and don’t try to talk well
It's hard for me to believe that your native language is not English lol I was shocked the moment you told it to us haha you speak it so perfectly that we can't make a difference between you and the persons who only speak English. Thank you
Seriously?
Yeah i m with you
Hi vould i talk with in private
Блин, вы так чётко произносите каждое слово, причём с отличным произношением. И да, не от акцента я поняла вначале, что вы русская, а от интонации разговора. Я просто услышала это всё и поняла на русском
Да, у нас, русских, все звуки в речи сильно различны. И с детства унас выработаны чёткое произношение и настроенный на наши чёткием звуки слух! У англичан наоборот - с детства выработано произношение множества почти неразличимых звуков, но острый слух, чтобы они понимали своё гадское произношение!)
i agree, her pronunciation is so good
Hehe

in brief:
In this video, the speaker, a non-native English speaker, shares her thoughts on why people struggle to speak English. The main reasons discussed are:
1-English is a complex language with many rules and exceptions, making it difficult for non-native speakers to fully grasp it.
2-Fear of making mistakes or being judged often stops people from speaking English.
3-Cultural differences and a lack of understanding of cultural references can make communication challenging.
4-English pronunciation can be complex, with silent letters and different accents.
The speaker emphasizes that it's okay to make mistakes and encourages viewers to continue learning and practicing. She also shares examples of common mistakes made by both native and non-native speakers, as well as some cultural differences and a joke. The video aims to provide reassurance and motivation for English learners, reminding them that they're not alone in their struggles.
You’ve done a great job!
You’ve done a great job!
Thanks you sum it up perfectly

I am looking for practicing partner, would you like to join with me??
Hi Anna. Can we practice talking or writing?
It was a video that never gets boring ❤
It is lovely to hear you in this video, Veronika. Since last month I have been watching your TH-cam video, I was a little confused that you didn't look like an American. But in this video you said that you are a Russian native, you have a truly Russian personality. You are explaining every topic very nicely. an American. But in this video you said that you are a Russian native. You are explaining every topic very nicely.
I am impressed by your accent, thanks for sharing your real experience, it will be really helpful
My native language is Bulgarian (another Slavic language), and it is quite different as well. I don't think that the grammar is so difficult, but it is undoubtedly different. Pronunciation is 100% different, and pronunciation + writing are hell for me.
Do you use some special method for learning ?
@@larcegeogriev3810 To be honest, I don't study English anymore. I just use it in my work and watch podcasts, videos in TH-cam. I think that trying to imitate native speakers though is a very good method to practice pronunciation.
@englishfuture07
@@IvelinaDobreva Broo how did you learn😭😭
@@htwemyar3635 With a lot of effort.
It’s my pleasure to listen to your pronunciation and reasonable explanation during your classes and it means you are on a right way.
You are really smart and of course beauty
I sincerely wish you to be
Happy
Healthy
Loved 🌹🌹🌹🇺🇦
I like your videos cause you have a clear and good pronunciation, so it's a litte easy understand what you say :). Thanks for helping us.
I like your confidence and you are looking so simple, innocent
I cannot believe your native language is not english.My native language is Japanese.it is quite different as well.So your english skills inspire me to study more.
I'm so afraid to speak English because people here in my country will judge me for bragging it and not speaking my native language. I don't know what to do but after hearing what you've said, I find the courage and I'll try to practice and speak ENGLISH more often. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO!
تعالي سنابي لان انا اعاني من نفس شي شرايك نضيف بعض ونبقى نتكلم باللغه الإنجليزية والله بيكون افضل 🥹😭😭
??
انا ايضا اعاني من نفس المشكلة@@gran-20
Exciting and useful video that appeared on time, because I'm afraid to speak English however I've been learning this language for a long time. Thanks a lot
Super excited, native's would say im very excited etc but your very clear and speak english in a perfect way 99% .
🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
00:25 😕 Learning English can be frustrating, even for non-native speakers.
01:15 🤯 English can be complex with challenging grammar, translation difficulties, and homophones.
02:36 📢 Native speakers also make grammar mistakes, so don't stress too much about minor errors.
04:04 😰 Fear of judgment can hinder English learners, but making mistakes is okay.
04:58 🙌 Connection and communication matter more than perfect English, so don't be afraid to speak.
06:19 🗣️ English pronunciation can be tricky due to inconsistent rules and silent letters.
08:07 🌎 Cultural differences, jokes, and references can impact language use, but it's part of the learning experience.
I learn the English language. Sometimes I feel frustrated, but because of my love for this language, I have the honor to learn it. I hope you learn it soon.
@@KhadijaElyoubi-sg9lryou will get better trust me it just takes time .
Great video! My native languages are Ukrainian and Russian, I also learn English (and use it at work), and now I live in Spain and try to learn Spanish at the same time 🤪🤣🤯
Wow, this is crazy. How were you able to adapt to a new language when you barely learned English?
I am student from Ethiopia you are teaching English a lot of thanks for teaching English keep on by this way
You are a good teacher.
As a Turk it’s really hard to pronounce the words in English I see lot of examples from people but when you learning English for a while you can fix that problem
yes i too bro
Wow, I can understand almost all. But I still can not speak English. However thanks for your advice.
My part favorite of the video was Each person can learn English. Using different methods and strategies. I love all your content on TH-cam, Instagram, and tik tok .you are my favorite couch or teacher..well my level of English is A2 😭😭😭 but I can do it. Sorry for my grammar 😁😅😅
Where are u from? Keep it up man
I liked by the way your lession about language's only for connecting with people not that how to speak their language like natively ✌
Wow, your English is so clean, girl. Congrats ❤💖
My English is basic, but I'm South American 😅😢
Yo como hablante nativo de Español, puedo admitir que nos resulta raro que haya palabras que se escriben con las mismas combinaciones de letras y se pronuncian diferente.
I'm working on a similar idea as well. What are the three reasons that are keeping you semi fluent. In my opinion, #1 no self belief #2 the mechanics of English #3 lack of practice.
You mention you native language. This definitely is a factor.
This video has motivated me to continue learning and try over and over again to reach my goal which is speak in English to get a better job, you mentioned something very important, only we need connect with other and shared our ideas, thoughts and feelings , thanks
Why do I understand almost all what you say? That´s really fun. Thank you very much! 🌷🌺 🌸👍
Hello, everyone! I want to say thank you, because when I began to watch your videos, my english has become more confident!
Hey sofia!
I am so weak in English, would like to practice with? Please do me a favour
Meu sonho é falar em inglês e também entender os nativos falando em inglês
Tamo junto irmão
Também queria. Meu sonho é me tornar tradutora.
tbm quero mt, temos que manter a constância
Hi Veronica your teaching style is really cool
Thank you Veronika, great video and tips
Я знала что ты Русская. Но у вас очень хороший Английский, без русского акцента. Я просто почувствовала это, узнала своего чела.❤
У меня уровень в1-в2. Очень хочу разговаривать по английски как Выыы.
дада, меня тоже она привлекла, и я была приятно удивлена, узнав, что её родной язык русский
@@tuberculosis9264 Ага
Да , хорошо она говорит . А я сначала не знал , что она русскоязычная и ,думаю, такой себе : " Ой как круто , какой я молодец , всё понимаю , что она говорит " , аж обрадовался 😂 . А у меня то как раз проблема с аудированием , особенно с восприятием речи носителей языка . А потом узнал , что она русская и даже чуток подрасстроился , поняв , что я её из-за этого то и понимаю так хорошо , что английский её выстраивается по принципу русского мышления 😁 Ну , в любом случае , от этого , наверное, никак и не избавиться , да и ни к чему , собственно .
@@denislavrin 😂 Hа самом деле, у вас всё ещё впереди. Good luck

Thanks for your guidance Veronika.
I really appreciated it!
1:53 where are you from?
I'm from Brazil and watching this video was fantastic! Congratulations
If you think English is hard, you should try Cantonese! Wow! You've done a great job learning English. Even many native English speakers question the silent letters in certain words like "Island" and "Castle." 😆
❤
Прекрасный английский, но интуитивно чувствую носителя русского языка. То ли в отдельных звуках, то ли в интонациях :)
Хрен его знает как вы поняли, я б и не понял. Может внешность у неё русская что-ли
@@UgorGred да, внешность прям всё говорит

Thank you so much for your advice,I’m fell better after watching your video 😍😍
It's my first time here and I am loving everything what she is saying ❤️and I am getting more motivated
que agradable me resulta escucharte... al no ser nativa, me resulta mas fácil entenderte con mi B1, por eso veo tus videos, para practicar listening
Thank you for the video.
About the pronunciation, learn the fundamentals of linguistics. It will teach you rules such as when the letters 'i,' 'e,' and 'y' come after the letter 'C,' the 'C' produces a sound similar to 'S,' as in words like 'city,' 'cycle,' and 'center.' However, if any other letter follows the 'C,' it typically produces the sound similar to 'K,' as in words like 'cut,' 'curtain,' and 'cake etc. There are rules for every letter and lot more to understand, just master the fundamentals of linguistics in English.
Amazing topic really thank u for this power and positive vibe
Спасибо, Вероника )
You are wonderful teacher thank you very much.
ual, your english is so good! you look like a native speaker, omg! kisses from brazil 💚
Hey I am from India..
Can we be friends 🙌

Your English is amazing.
Omg, your video is really incredible. I almost managed to understand everything. And my English is very basic. I am already following you :)
Hello baby ❤❤
Thanks you for your good idea ...i preciate your motivation.
Thanks for your explanation❤
The only person, who was very interesting to listen to.
Thank you!
That's really made me feeling better 😊❤🎉
My native language is Spanish and I learning English on my own, I can understand this video but with subtitles, I need to learn more vocabulary. I think that the best way to learn English, if you speak Spanish or another language the same, is surrounding yourself with English, for that reason I'm here.
The best way to improve pronunciation is to use Cambridge dictionary, there are had transcription and sound sample for British and American English
I found your channel recently and I think that Im gonna learn a lot of with you ❤
Vero, gracias por tus palabras, y bienvenida a México 😃🤗
I am over the moon by this vídeo veronica, you have helped me too much...

thanks you, for your video Veronika
Thanks for your vlog, it works for me
I really liked this video. You shared your experience very well. First time I've come across your videos. I subscribed right away 😍😍
Simply awesome ... keep it up Veronica 👍
Nowadays, I just watch videos in english for working out my brain. Anyway I don't intend to be in an english speaking country anymore. I don't need it. Congratulations, Veronika. You're not boring such as many people who has a TH-cam Channel for english learners. It's great. Keep on doing this. Bye !!!
As a portuguese native speaker i can say it's exactly the same for us.. if you trying to talk portuguese with us we accept errors if we can easily understand what you want to say. And i think pretty much every language works the same , if you can explain even if it's not the perfect form to say it but it is understandable, you good to go! Im learning french nowand sometimes i make mistakes but they understand me at the end.
Oh my goodness..I just want to speak like you 😍 You are making me more curious to learn English or to speak English ❤️💯
