I hope this little story can help: I was a complete dumb in English and French at school. After "studying" English for 10 years I was barely able to understand someone asking me a simple question. A couple of years after finishing school I decided to set my own method so I could do something about it, and in around a year I was pretty shocked by the results... It was just about doing everything I enjoyed, but in the target language. I just forgot about using Spanish (my 1st language) when I wanted to watch a film, read a book, I enjoyed translating songs and catching up with phonology through that... I know it sounds way too simple, but it actually works! when you forget about the learning process and you start doing everything in the target language on a daily basis you just absorb it. Now I'm able to speak 4 languages fluently, and it's an amazing feeling...All those years feeling I was a bloody retarded guy, and then, it was just about learning how to learn. Thanks for your video Emma...Big hugs to everyone ;)

@@carlosbruno9524 Hola camarada, soy de Madrid. A ver, por lo que me dices creo que tienes un problema parecido al que tenía yo al principio. Una cosa que me ayudó mucho a la hora de entender fue aprender el sistema fonético en lengua inglesa. Después vi muchas series de distintos países y con muchos acentos diferentes, al principio con subtítulos en inglés, y después sin subtítulos usando auriculares.

Be native in 9 month doing nothing: 1. Search a healthy couple in native English country. 2. Be the two lucky gametes. 3. Wait This trick work for any language but only one time, then choose the language carefully
Firstly, as a native speaker of Japanese, I am really glad that you decided to study Japanese. Thank you, Emma! Secondly, thank you for talking about this huge elephant in the room. I have been jaded about those hideous marketing tricks for a long time as well. Nobody tries to learn to play a sport or a musical instrument in a few weeks, but when it comes to learning languages, people assume (or are made to assume )that they can master their target language in such a short time.
This is the video I need to listen to from time to time. It's still relevant after four years. What you called "marketing tricks" are even worse today (languages, music, finance and many other areas of interest). Anyway, thank you for posting so many superb videos, Emma. You're are the best teacher on YT as far as modern RP pronounciation is concerned. I started to follow your channel because my English was becoming very poor, after coming back from England 6 years ago. Despite leaving in North Italy, I've found quite a few English mother-tongue I regourarly hang out with. Quite a few are English teachers and are surprised that I can keep a good British accent despite leaving abroad. I won't tell them my secret (my secret weapon). Keep up the good work, Emma. Thank you so much. Cheers :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma Oh Gosh, I made a spelling mistake! *regoularly (but I can pronounce it correctly). Anyway, thank you for answering Emma! You made my day.
Emma, I want you to know that this video truly motivates me. I completely understand that learning is a personal journey, and it can be tough when we feel the urge to compare ourselves to others. I've gone through similar feelings in my career, where comparisons made me feel inadequate. I believe the best approach is to let go of that mindset. Focusing on our paths and doing our best in our unique situations truly matters. It's okay to embrace our individual journeys.
English is my mother tongue and Hebrew is my Father's. I basically have two first languages, if that's even possible... I am now learning to become an English teacher, and I find myself finding "new words" in English each and every day! Today; for example, I've learnt _forlorn_ is another word that is similar to dreary, or lonely. Never give up hope with learning a language, or as Barak Obama used to say: "Yes we can!".
Absolutely, I couldn´t agree more with you, Emma! I thought that learning a new language was frustrating and devasted. Nevertheless, currently, I am enjoying learning English through reading, watching and so on. The powerful trick is to appreciate your process learning and do it in pace. Thanks for the video! This encourages to still learning.
Hello, buddy. How's it going? Let me know your English progress after these long two years. I'd like to connect with you and practice my English speech
Ahhh lovely Emma this video is a doble shoot, not only because you are refreshing our minds about the learning process but also for having a long video with your accent, vocabulary, phrases and kindness :)
I really appreciate all you've share. I'm Taiwanese, and I'm a psychological counselor. I teach children English in a private tuition especially british accent. 'Pronuciation with Emma' is the most brilliant English-Teaching-video in youtube. So I share it with students. It's not just your pronunciation or video but your class can really help people 'thinking'. Even there are 12 students in one class, they got the same teacher , the same period and situation. Some of them learn quick and some are not. You're right for this 'we don't need to follow other's rule and expectation(teachers or parents). '. Then I'll encourage those students in your way. Because I think it's right.
It doesn't felt like a longer video, and listening to you helps me improve the listening skills. Talking about the content, It's really a good message which most people hesitate to share. This video hopefully educate people to think twice before investing their hardly earned money on scam marketing activities which probably ruin their confidence and ends up in depression. As you said, the marketing campaigns or tricks which has a promised results within a particular time frame is absolutely 'STUPID'. They try to exploit the demand or needs of people. I think not only in language learning but anything which has demand among people will have shady marketing manoeuvre across the globe. The tips you mentioned are really helpful, especially the second one.! Thank you Emma... :)
Emma, thank you for the video you mentioned: to respect the pace we are! I'm learning British accent but I often feel I'm not good and why I learn so slowly. It seems like that I make myself too anxious about being good pronunciation... I'm glad to see the video and encouraged by your sharing and it's really warm to me :)
Wow this seems to me one of your best videos ever because it contains pure empathy and words of wisdom, we definitely need this attitude from teachers! Hopefully many students will watch it. Thank you so much, Emma
Thanks Emma for your tips and all your encouraging words. Leaning a language is so difficult. It has been years since I have started learning all by myself because I was so bad in school. In France, they are not good for teaching english at school. So technically I am learning by myself with series in english with english french subtitles first and now with english subtitles. I am listening to Podcast recorded by my favourite actor who is english. And now I am preparing for the TOIEC. Each day I listen some of your videos and I am really learning to sound more British thanks to you. It's so easy to listen to you, I can perfectly understand what you say. I don't think I will be completely fluent one day because it's really hard but I am progressing each day and that's a really good thing.
Hi dear Emma. First off all I really have to say you're a great teacher and your pretty smile makes it easier to get what you're wanting to teach us 🙂 (and yours nice red hairs ). Just compliments, I don't want to hit on you 🙂, really not but it's more pleasant to have a teacher like you than a creepy... Boris Johnson for example 🙂 I appreciated this video because you're totally right. We don't have to follow this stupid goals of this several apps saying it's possible to get fluent in a foreign language that fast. I never made me pressure on schedule to progress in English. I think I just had facilities in understanding, and recently I started to speak with natural born speakers and realized that I really moved on just listening English (yours or American) and was happy to heard of those people I'm really good for a French 🙂. My point is, as you said, I never put pressure on me to reach particularly goals and it has been naturally for me. You're really brave to start learn Japanese, for me it's like an Everst to learn a language with a totally different alphabet and sounds we're never heard. I really like you're TH-cam channel, not a found on Video games so I never tried your twitch one, but I'll follow your tip for trying read or listen English contents of topics I like, science, technology, even if I know I would certainly have to search translation of specifics words hardest to get those with just the context. Please tell me what I have to improve on my sentences construction, I think I'm still thinking in French before transposed it in English. Thanks for your work, I see you're enjoying share your experience in language's learning, keep it that way. You're French secret "lover" 😃 Luc
Good afternoon, respected Teacher. After listening your lecture I have understood that you are an efficient as well as perfect coach for learning English correctly. ❤❤
There are so many click bait in the internet which are how to influence in 7 weeks, how to understand grammar in a month and reh teh teh. I was thought wow how could they can be afford to learn english with wicked fast in that day ?. I've been learned English for 10 years and I'm still need to learn more and more in order to be more fluence in English. I reckon learn or speaking in English in that short time is jolly hard from the beginner one and that's can be make very like not the Sharpest tool in the box for me as well if we force ourselves to getting more fluence English in jolly short time xx.
Emma, I completely agree with you, each person has their own pace, and we should respect that... thank you for your videos, I really appreciate your honesty, because I always felt the same about learning in general
Dear Emma, You don't have to be sorry for making longer video. This video clear the doubt of learning languages thank you for making this video Apartt of these anybody reading this comment can be my online speaking partner as I am preparing for ielts so I need someone to talk on different topics to be fluent.
I have been learning only two chapters daily from last 1 month grammar in use written by rymond morphy and I really enjoying myself....you are right emma, Set your time , set your goal and enjoy whatever you read or learn....this will help definitely 101% sure.... Thank you so much and you are wonderful......😊
Thanks for your reply. It's quite difficult not to watch your videos, and really wanted to know what's going on inside your heart. :) haha! it's really strange because I thought you hate me because I was not getting ❤ from Emma to my comments lately.. and I love your euphonious Yorkshire twang. :)
Emma, I am so thankful since I found you, I study alone,one hour per day and try to won one verbal tense in correctly form,slow but sure in a lot part thanks to your teach form,nowaday my limitation is important,but for example, i can write to you for say THANKS! Im a music teacher and cuban,i agree with your mind,about the pupils and pace time of learn,simply you must continuos and never stop how teacherloop what you are,inteligent,amazing and good professional. One more time Thanks!
Firstly, you are so beautiful in this video 💗💗. Secondly, I love learning language but I am struggling in my level which is intermediate and I know it will take time to get an advance level, the main point is never stop being practice the language. Finally I will follow your tips that you mentions and I hope it helps my English to improve 🙆🏻♀️. Thank you again and keep doing videos like this , I felt you talking to me immediately 😂💗💗. *Sorry if there are any mistakes *🙏🏻
Thank you for your encouraging words to English learners all over the world! I absolutely agree with what you said in this video. I really think you are such a thoughtful teacher who people always need.
I agree with you. In this video you demonstrate that you are an honest person as well as very good, nice and lovely. However, the speed of learning a language depends very much on memory, very little on intelligence.
Thank you , Emma-san ! You really are a good teacher now. Your experience of learning Japanese can help your teaching skills , I think. I'm Japanese, so I totally respect your try to learn Japanese. I guess keeping your motivation on going is quite tough. How do you do that?? Memorizing hiragana and katakana is not very interesting I guess. So even Japanese kids also take a few years to do that. 4 weeks to accomplish, you?? So I imagine lots of foreigners learning Japanese start from Japanese manga to keep your interests being. How would you progress ?? I hope you can keep going !! I hope to be with you as well !!😊 eg. English order : My mother bought me socks yesterday. Japanese order : Yesterday mother socks bought. And we Japanese don't need I, my, to me at all in our conversation😂 Your most important thing must be verb. But our one is noun I think. So it's pretty difficult for Japanese to learn English.
Thank you for your encouraging words to English learners all over the world! I absolutely agree with what you said in this video. I really think you are such a thoughtful teacher who people always need. By the way, good luck with your Japanese! I’m so glad you chose my mother tongue😊.
It does matter the length of the video, becauae it was very clearly the reason of the video and it was good. Sometimes I think I'm stupid or something like that because my classmates sound like a native and I don't... But I found very helpful your tips and it's important to know that everyone has their own pace. Thank you for this video😊 P. S. I'm learning English, I was studying French but as you French and I we aren't good friends, and in this semester I'm going to learn Portuguese so I'm going to use your tips and advices
Emma, I completely agree with you, each person has their own pace, and we should respect that... thank you for your videos, I really appreciate your honesty, because I always felt the same about learning in general...not only a language...
Dear Emma, it was amazing video! Thanks! I was the worst pupil every time in any new school. But I didn`t care about it. I had other problems and fought with other boys each day. I hated other languages also. But know times changed. I am crazy about British English and German. I love to pronounce aloud the English poetry: Burns, Blake, Shakespeare, Kipling and others. And I still don`t care who can become fluent in 5 days or 12 months and so on. Real is just your own goal and willing.
I totally agree that each one has its own pace and I think that most of this kind of thing is just marketing. It is good to know that you are learning Japanese, although I follow procrastination with Emma (sometimes), I had no idea that you were learning Japanese. It sounds like a challenge, but it's a nice language. Similar to you this year, I started to learn Russian because I was looking for a completely different language and also to test some of the learning techniques I learned while studying English. The secret, I think, is doing it at my own pace. Learning a language because of deadlines or needs is not a pleasant thing. That was my story with English. Everyone should study at their own pace and using the methods they like best. About English I think I only start to really improve when I incorporate the language into my daily life, reading news, listening to videos, interviews and TED lectures and writing articles and text messages. Good luck with the Japanese!
OMG I definitely know what it’s like to be the worst in class 😩. I’ve already felt such a dumb in German classes and at that time everybody also spoke English in the class except me ... It was so frustrating but I didn’t give up! I’ve made the best decision ever: changed the school and it really worked! 😊. Now I’ve been more patient with me in the English learning process😉
Yes, I have all these problems. And at the school-time, I had to do something, not to be one of the worst pupils. Russia was especially heavy for me. So I wanted leasure time for playing with friends and I never learned a single word in English. I was sure, I will never need it in the GDR. Thanks for your lessons!
Oh yes, sometimes I feel stupid - because I've been learning English for almost 5 years and I'm still not satisfied with the results. Also I try not to compare myself with other, otherwise I'll feel awful. As for these "super quick methods" I can't understand people who really believe that they can become fluent for such a short time. Even children don't learn their mother tongue so quickly. Thank you so much for the motivation and amazing tips! And good luck with your Japanese😊
Good information of you Emma about How to be Fluent in English and learn English quickly. I only want to learn English more than other languages, but I also prefer to learn Arabic and Chinese languages. Emma, I'm happy that you can speak Spanish and Japanese. When I was in school I got highest marks for English language, but Emma, I cannot remember some English words and wondering how to use some sentences in English such as might as well, by all means
this is the second video i have watched from you. When i heard all about your testimonies in this video it really motivates me. I am not fluent in english and i really want to improve my english speaking skill. I found this video very helpful. I can feel your sincerety. I believe and i can see that you are an excellent teacher and you also uplift someones confidence, thank u for your videos. Your a good hearted and sincere teacher. I admire you encouraging words. God bless
Hola Emma I'm happily surprised to hear from you that you Learned Spanish among other languages!!! WELL DONE YOU ARE DOING SO WELL GOOD FOR YOU!! SPANISH FOR ENGLISH PEOPLE IT'S EASY or Easier than German at least!! Anyway THANK YOU VERY MUCH for what you are doing and the way you"re doing it!!! BLESS you x
I am going through this situation where I fell stupid because I am not able to speak English fluently like my friends at school. But this taught me how to go about it. Thank you again, I am going to follow your advice.
I think that would be really going to very helpful. Ever HONEST video I found on the Internet. I really appreciate it. Thankyou for making this, Really from my Heart.
I find your courses/lessons, have the same quality than those of Anja (learn German mit Anja) and I want to thank you for all the time you take to help us to improve our english.
Wwaaww, that is really awesome good luck. I always loved learning languages my mother language is Spanish and then I learned English really been mesmerized by the British accent, I also learned Italian, Korean, I also know Japanese and Mandarin. Oh, did I mentioned Hindi? Yep, also Hindi, don't forget shaking your head to sound more natural. I am trying to learn Germany now wish me good luck
thank you for your advice. In this moment I fell down with my english. Ihave been studying english for a long time in a official school and I am desmotivated.I'll follow your advice.
Hi, Emma, I am from South India. myself Asiya Arif . I am a housewife. I have three children 2 girls and one son. My medium of Instruction is urdu till my Intermediate. After that Degree in English medium So my English is very poor. Now days I learning English from youtube videos like you Among all of them your English leaching techniques wonderfull A wosome, Excellent. your Enthuism Encourage Thankyou once again
I pretty much had the same story you had with French with my English, but a thankfully, 8 months ago, I got the motivation from listening a good podcast and the fact that I tended to enjoy it a lot more when a watched movie is in English (original version) than the French dubbed one. I started having fun throughout the process then bought English grammar in use ( for intermediate). all Those helped with the listening, comprehension, and reading, but my speaking stilllllll sucked. This was until I came across the phrase " pronunciation with Emma" on Twitter. Since then I've been feeling more confident when it comes to speaking since I started getting Right most of the sounds ( th, oo, w, i, ii,) . I just keep following you.
Thanks for your tips, you've been very honest and right. In this quarantine I tried to apply these tips which helped me a lot to improve my English. I love your videos and I encourage you to still helping others to get better English like you help myself too. Lots of love 💘
I felt so stupid for my mistakes I was comparing myself to my friend Joseph, he was better than anyone in the classroom, I hated myself, but this video taught me something new, thank you Emma.
Omg you're learning Japanese which is awesome. I'm glad you learning it as I'm a native speaker and I've found your channel and it's become one of my habit to watch your video!
@@Pronunciationwithemma Omg I didn't expect that you would reply me and I want to appreciate you that your channel and instagram motivate me to learn English and I want to help you with Japanese in return!
Really love this video because this is situation every student go through when you are learning a language and I feel identify with your experience I've been studying English for one year and I need to learn more but when I was starting I used to compare myself with other I that made me feel like a stupid because I couldn't learn fast as my classmates but now I understand every person is different and not matter if you learn fast or slow the important is never stop trying
Thank you Emma. This is very hard question for me. I have been learning English 10 years now I live in London my English much better. I enjoy processes now. I am not responding to the comments of other people because many people correct me and say Do not talk at all if you do not know how. I follow to my goal. Thank you.
Serio Emma , voce sabe falar o português?! Que bom , eu nāo sabia disso ! Eu tambem falo , na verdade o poruguês è a minha segunda lingua , eu moro no Brasil ha muitos anos e sou casado com uma brasileira , a minha lingua madre è o italiano... Tchau , abraço 🌷😊
Greeting from Puerto Rico , 🇵🇷 something similar happened to me about this topic, I bought a course because in the news he said , in three months you will become fluent in English even you start since from scratch and after three months I’ve been studying English so hard and even though I not became fluent yes I understand more than before I can be able to create my own sentences when Before the course I couldn’t be able to speak,write,read but now I turning 10 months and my English is increase 📈 in incredible way thanks for my own methods as well but it’s not the level that I expected even though I’m grateful because the course for me was the based in order to keep going for my own, but yea is too annoying when people said you learn very fluent in just three months and then said something else inside the course ,it’s not fair when someone learned English with the course that I have it in less than 3 months They said lied about I learned since from scratch when actually they already having a good comprehension first and solid based about English , So I liked it so much your video and all that you said keep going to do what you do it’s was very helpful to me ,excellent video and yes I wrote it with many mistakes 😅 But it’s not easy to described many things the same than my native language and actually I start to learn and have more knowledge since 10 months ago ,arrivederci,Grazie, buona giornata
i love the way you explaining, wonderful. I still improving my english, but i knew that i have a problem to combining between my local language to English. a bit delayed to speak in english :)
Thank you for always providing us with great videos. I'm a Japanese who is always studying English using videos from PronunciationWithEmma channel. English is a difficult language for me. For example, the concepts of article(a/the/singular and plural noun) do not exist in Japanese. It's very difficult for me to get a feel for the concepts of countable and uncountable nouns. Also, all native English speakers speak quickly, It is difficult to hear and understand it. I started intensive English learning about a year ago. At that time, I discovered PronunciationWithEmma channel. A year ago, I saw "STORY TIME! How I Became the Teacher I am Today". I wanted to understand the video, but at the time I was a beginner level, so it was difficult. I added subtitles, stopped the video many times, and looked up the meaning of each word I didn't understand. And I managed to understand the contents of that video. And today I watched this video. Although I put subtitles on today, I could understand the whole contents by watching it once without stopping the video. I'm really happy that my English is definitely improving. I think an important aspect of language learning is to believe in yourself and work for the long term without being confused by the schedules that others have arbitrarily decided. Please do your best to study Japanese.
That’s very inspirational. I’m glad my videos have helped ☺️ (I also have a video about the articles you mentioned. Go check it out! It’s in the grammar playlist).
I hope this little story can help:

Hi dear Emma. First off all I really have to say you're a great teacher and your pretty smile makes it easier to get what you're wanting to teach us 🙂 (and yours nice red hairs ). Just compliments, I don't want to hit on you 🙂, really not but it's more pleasant to have a teacher like you than a creepy... Boris Johnson for example 🙂
I appreciated this video because you're totally right. We don't have to follow this stupid goals of this several apps saying it's possible to get fluent in a foreign language that fast.
I never made me pressure on schedule to progress in English. I think I just had facilities in understanding, and recently I started to speak with natural born speakers and realized that I really moved on just listening English (yours or American) and was happy to heard of those people I'm really good for a French 🙂.
My point is, as you said, I never put pressure on me to reach particularly goals and it has been naturally for me.
You're really brave to start learn Japanese, for me it's like an Everst to learn a language with a totally different alphabet and sounds we're never heard.
I really like you're TH-cam channel, not a found on Video games so I never tried your twitch one, but I'll follow your tip for trying read or listen English contents of topics I like, science, technology, even if I know I would certainly have to search translation of specifics words hardest to get those with just the context.
Please tell me what I have to improve on my sentences construction, I think I'm still thinking in French before transposed it in English.
Thanks for your work, I see you're enjoying share your experience in language's learning, keep it that way.
You're French secret "lover" 😃 Luc
Oh Emma, you touched my heart so deep !
Thanks for encourage us !
You deserve the best of the life!!
Good afternoon, respected Teacher. After listening your lecture I have understood that you are an efficient as well as perfect coach for learning English correctly. ❤❤
There are so many click bait in the internet which are how to influence in 7 weeks, how to understand grammar in a month and reh teh teh. I was thought wow how could they can be afford to learn english with wicked fast in that day ?. I've been learned English for 10 years and I'm still need to learn more and more in order to be more fluence in English. I reckon learn or speaking in English in that short time is jolly hard from the beginner one and that's can be make very like not the Sharpest tool in the box for me as well if we force ourselves to getting more fluence English in jolly short time xx.
Emma, I completely agree with you, each person has their own pace, and we should respect that... thank you for your videos, I really appreciate your honesty, because I always felt the same about learning in general
Dear Emma,
You don't have to be sorry for making longer video. This video clear the doubt of learning languages thank you for making this video
Apartt of these anybody reading this comment can be my online speaking partner as I am preparing for ielts so I need someone to talk on different topics to be fluent.
Emma, your British accent is just lovely! I've been working on American English accent for ages,,, but now I need to think twice......
Hi Emma !!! I m so glad to see you again !! This means I will learn something new 🥰🌸
Está joven profesora tiene las palabras correctas para expresar sus ideas. Y solo le faltan alas para ser un ángel. Gracias, excelente lección.
I have been learning only two chapters daily from last 1 month grammar in use written by rymond morphy and I really enjoying myself....you are right emma,
Set your time , set your goal and enjoy whatever you read or learn....this will help definitely 101% sure....
Thank you so much and you are wonderful......😊
I like the way you say the word "Japanese". I feel the British accent. Your channel is by far the best channel to improve British pronunciation.
I think you're the best teacher that I ever have💓💓
You're really a great teacher! This lesson shows how much you care about your students...you are really adorable..Emma❤❤
Thanks for your reply.
It's quite difficult not to watch your videos, and really wanted to know what's going on inside your heart. :)
haha! it's really strange because I thought you hate me because I was not getting ❤ from Emma to my comments lately..
and I love your euphonious Yorkshire twang. :)
Emma, I am so thankful since I found you, I study alone,one hour per day and try to won one verbal tense in correctly form,slow but sure in a lot part thanks to your teach form,nowaday my limitation is important,but for example, i can write to you for say THANKS!
Im a music teacher and cuban,i agree with your mind,about the pupils and pace time of learn,simply you must continuos and never stop how teacherloop what you are,inteligent,amazing and good professional. One more time Thanks!
Thanks for tips! Sometimes feel me sad with my English, but I'll go follow yours advices. Parabéns pelo trabalho! 😉
Firstly, you are so beautiful in this video 💗💗. Secondly, I love learning language but I am struggling in my level which is intermediate and I know it will take time to get an advance level, the main point is never stop being practice the language. Finally I will follow your tips that you mentions and I hope it helps my English to improve 🙆🏻♀️. Thank you again and keep doing videos like this , I felt you talking to me immediately 😂💗💗. *Sorry if there are any mistakes *🙏🏻
Thank you for your encouraging words to English learners all over the world! I absolutely agree with what you said in this video. I really think you are such a thoughtful teacher who people always need.
killing it sista!! thank you for the kind words, really made my day :D made me feel less stupid, just a bit... lol.
I agree with you. In this video you demonstrate that you are an honest person as well as very good, nice and lovely. However, the speed of learning a language depends very much on memory, very little on intelligence.
Thank you , Emma-san !
You really are a good teacher now. Your experience of learning Japanese can help your teaching skills , I think.
I'm Japanese, so I totally respect your try to learn Japanese.
I guess keeping your motivation on going is quite tough. How do you do that??
Memorizing hiragana and katakana is not very interesting I guess.
So even Japanese kids also take a few years to do that.
4 weeks to accomplish, you??
So I imagine lots of foreigners learning Japanese start from Japanese manga to keep your interests being.
How would you progress ??
I hope you can keep going !!
I hope to be with you as well !!😊
eg.
English order : My mother bought me socks yesterday.
Japanese order : Yesterday mother socks bought.
And we Japanese don't need I, my, to me at all in our conversation😂
Your most important thing must be verb. But our one is noun I think.
So it's pretty difficult for Japanese to learn English.
Be native in 4 weeks ...one of the Satirical titles that I have seen in my life
Thank you for your encouraging words to English learners all over the world! I absolutely agree with what you said in this video. I really think you are such a thoughtful teacher who people always need. By the way, good luck with your Japanese! I’m so glad you chose my mother tongue😊.
It does matter the length of the video, becauae it was very clearly the reason of the video and it was good. Sometimes I think I'm stupid or something like that because my classmates sound like a native and I don't... But I found very helpful your tips and it's important to know that everyone has their own pace. Thank you for this video😊
P. S. I'm learning English, I was studying French but as you French and I we aren't good friends, and in this semester I'm going to learn Portuguese so I'm going to use your tips and advices
Eres la mejor Emma!!
Thank you for all the tips! I believe this is a must-watch video for every language learner
Thank you Emma for frankness and honesty. 👍
I love your teaching. Your pronunciation is great. You are the best teacher.
This video made my day😍.
Thank a bunch, sister.
Thank you Emma. You are so amazing!!
Emma, I completely agree with you, each person has their own pace, and we should respect that... thank you for your videos, I really appreciate your honesty, because I always felt the same about learning in general...not only a language...
Love you ma'am, I will benefit greatly from what you have said. I felt very good.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
She is amazing, her voice is so cute and acecnt incredible.
Good to see you again prefoser Emma.
Much love and respect for you ❤.
Dear Emma, it was amazing video! Thanks! I was the worst pupil every time in any new school. But I didn`t care about it. I had other problems and fought with other boys each day. I hated other languages also. But know times changed. I am crazy about British English and German. I love to pronounce aloud the English poetry: Burns, Blake, Shakespeare, Kipling and others. And I still don`t care who can become fluent in 5 days or 12 months and so on. Real is just your own goal and willing.
I totally agree that each one has its own pace and I think that most of this kind of thing is just marketing. It is good to know that you are learning Japanese, although I follow procrastination with Emma (sometimes), I had no idea that you were learning Japanese. It sounds like a challenge, but it's a nice language. Similar to you this year, I started to learn Russian because I was looking for a completely different language and also to test some of the learning techniques I learned while studying English. The secret, I think, is doing it at my own pace. Learning a language because of deadlines or needs is not a pleasant thing. That was my story with English. Everyone should study at their own pace and using the methods they like best. About English I think I only start to really improve when I incorporate the language into my daily life, reading news, listening to videos, interviews and TED lectures and writing articles and text messages. Good luck with the Japanese!
I agree :) and thank you!
I would enjoy to see you teaching my son or daughter 💙
OMG I definitely know what it’s like to be the worst in class 😩. I’ve already felt such a dumb in German classes and at that time everybody also spoke English in the class except me ... It was so frustrating but I didn’t give up! I’ve made the best decision ever: changed the school and it really worked! 😊. Now I’ve been more patient with me in the English learning process😉
Hello Emma, I love yours videos. I from Colombia and I study English now on line. Thanks for your help and pronunciation excellent!
Yes, I have all these problems. And at the school-time, I had to do something, not to be one of the worst pupils. Russia was especially heavy for me. So I wanted leasure time for playing with friends and I never learned a single word in English. I was sure, I will never need it in the GDR.
Thanks for your lessons!
Hi Emma,its very understandable what you speak and how you speak.Thats i am agree with you learning language a life long process.
I can watch you all day! I love all your story. You are fantastic😊
Oh yes, sometimes I feel stupid - because I've been learning English for almost 5 years and I'm still not satisfied with the results. Also I try not to compare myself with other, otherwise I'll feel awful.
As for these "super quick methods" I can't understand people who really believe that they can become fluent for such a short time. Even children don't learn their mother tongue so quickly.
Thank you so much for the motivation and amazing tips! And good luck with your Japanese😊
Ive many years studying maybe 6 years every day, and i don't have learned nothing, i'm súper bored
@@ramsesdrukt9219 I'm a native English speaker, I'm 62 years old, and I'm still learning. And I don't want to stop learning.
Good information of you Emma about How to be Fluent in English and learn English quickly. I only want to learn English more than other languages, but I also prefer to learn Arabic and Chinese languages. Emma, I'm happy that you can speak Spanish and Japanese. When I was in school I got highest marks for English language, but Emma, I cannot remember some English words and wondering how to use some sentences in English such as might as well, by all means
Emma, you are a treasure to me, to everyone who wants to improve English!

thank you for your advice. In this moment I fell down with my english. Ihave been studying english for a long time in a official school and I am desmotivated.I'll follow your advice.
Hi, Emma, I am from South India. myself Asiya Arif . I am a housewife. I have three children 2 girls and one son. My medium of Instruction is urdu till my Intermediate. After that Degree in English medium So my English is very poor. Now days I learning English from youtube videos like you Among all of them your English leaching techniques wonderfull A wosome, Excellent. your Enthuism Encourage Thankyou once again
I pretty much had the same story you had with French with my English, but a thankfully, 8 months ago, I got the motivation from listening a good podcast and the fact that I tended to enjoy it a lot more when a watched movie is in English (original version) than the French dubbed one. I started having fun throughout the process then bought English grammar in use ( for intermediate). all Those helped with the listening, comprehension, and reading, but my speaking stilllllll sucked. This was until I came across the phrase " pronunciation with Emma" on Twitter. Since then I've been feeling more confident when it comes to speaking since I started getting Right most of the sounds ( th, oo, w, i, ii,) . I just keep following you.
Thanks a lot mrs/miss Emma for your lessons. These lessons are very helpful to us.
Nice lesson Emma teacher. Really helpful.
From the bottom of my heart, I just want to say, thank you, ❤You are amazing, your videos help me improve my English, vocabulary and my listen
Thanks for your tips, you've been very honest and right. In this quarantine I tried to apply these tips which helped me a lot to improve my English. I love your videos and I encourage you to still helping others to get better English like you help myself too. Lots of love 💘
I am enjoying listening to you. Attitude is that most important after all.
the most important. I mean
I felt so stupid for my mistakes
I was comparing myself to my friend Joseph, he was better than anyone in the classroom, I hated myself, but this video taught me something new, thank you Emma.
You're way better than Joseph 😊💚
@@Pronunciationwithemma I appreciate it
Omg you're learning Japanese which is awesome. I'm glad you learning it as I'm a native speaker and I've found your channel and it's become one of my habit to watch your video!
I'm starting a Japanese course in January too! SO EXCITED :D
And thank you!
@@Pronunciationwithemma Omg I didn't expect that you would reply me and I want to appreciate you that your channel and instagram motivate me to learn English and I want to help you with Japanese in return!
Thanks Emma.. It is so helpful.. Sending you love xoxo ❤️
Very inspiring. Reflection on myself while I am practicing with my boy to catch up Primary 1 reading skills and phonics.
Love your classes too much.... 😍
Muchas gracias. Me encantan tus vídeos. Vocalizas muy bien! Felicidades.
Really love this video because this is situation every student go through when you are learning a language and I feel identify with your experience I've been studying English for one year and I need to learn more but when I was starting I used to compare myself with other I that made me feel like a stupid because I couldn't learn fast as my classmates but now I understand every person is different and not matter if you learn fast or slow the important is never stop trying
Exactly!! Just don’t stop. Even if your pace is so much slower than other people’s 😁
I'm really learning a lot with you and it makes me really happy :)
I’m happy to hear that 😁
Thank you Emma. This is very hard question for me. I have been learning English 10 years now I live in London my English much better. I enjoy processes now. I am not responding to the comments of other people because many people correct me and say Do not talk at all if you do not know how.
I follow to my goal. Thank you.
Those people are idiots. Probably jealous of you too! Keep speaking - it’s the only way to keep moving forward :) you can do it!
I do like the way you beauty, and the way you embellish words too!
Serio Emma , voce sabe falar o português?! Que bom , eu nāo sabia disso ! Eu tambem falo ,
na verdade o poruguês è a minha segunda lingua , eu moro no Brasil ha muitos anos e sou casado com uma brasileira , a minha lingua madre è o italiano...
Tchau , abraço 🌷😊
Greeting from Puerto Rico , 🇵🇷 something similar happened to me about this topic, I bought a course because in the news he said , in three months you will become fluent in English even you start since from scratch and after three months I’ve been studying English so hard and even though I not became fluent yes I understand more than before I can be able to create my own sentences when Before the course I couldn’t be able to speak,write,read but now I turning 10 months and my English is increase 📈 in incredible way thanks for my own methods as well but it’s not the level that I expected even though I’m grateful because the course for me was the based in order to keep going for my own, but yea is too annoying when people said you learn very fluent in just three months and then said something else inside the course ,it’s not fair when someone learned English with the course that I have it in less than 3 months They said lied about I learned since from scratch when actually they already having a good comprehension first and solid based about English , So I liked it so much your video and all that you said keep going to do what you do it’s was very helpful to me ,excellent video and yes I wrote it with many mistakes 😅 But it’s not easy to described many things the same than my native language and actually I start to learn and have more knowledge since 10 months ago ,arrivederci,Grazie, buona giornata
i love the way you explaining, wonderful. I still improving my english, but i knew that i have a problem to combining between my local language to English. a bit delayed to speak in english :)
Hey eema thnx for assisting everybody with optimistic thoughts
Thank you for always providing us with great videos. I'm a Japanese who is always studying English using videos from PronunciationWithEmma channel. English is a difficult language for me. For example, the concepts of article(a/the/singular and plural noun) do not exist in Japanese. It's very difficult for me to get a feel for the concepts of countable and uncountable nouns. Also, all native English speakers speak quickly, It is difficult to hear and understand it. I started intensive English learning about a year ago. At that time, I discovered PronunciationWithEmma channel. A year ago, I saw "STORY TIME! How I Became the Teacher I am Today". I wanted to understand the video, but at the time I was a beginner level, so it was difficult. I added subtitles, stopped the video many times, and looked up the meaning of each word I didn't understand. And I managed to understand the contents of that video. And today I watched this video. Although I put subtitles on today, I could understand the whole contents by watching it once without stopping the video. I'm really happy that my English is definitely improving. I think an important aspect of language learning is to believe in yourself and work for the long term without being confused by the schedules that others have arbitrarily decided. Please do your best to study Japanese.
That’s very inspirational. I’m glad my videos have helped ☺️ (I also have a video about the articles you mentioned. Go check it out! It’s in the grammar playlist).
You are really inteligent and lovebly. Beautiful teacher.
I've been studying English over the past 14 years....!!!! It'd be amazing if learning a language was that easy!
Tks for explanation
I always repeat it if I found it
You presented very good tips and attitude toward learning a foreign language, thank you for your video from Poland.
Emma 😊 i would saying thanks you so much ❤
👍🏻👍🏻💜💜 Thank you, Emma! 🙂
