ABOUT THIS VIDEO
We've all heard people claim that you can get fluent in just 3 months, but is it really possible? To answer this question, we first have to look at what fluency actually is.
Contrary to what many believe, fluency is NOT the same as being conversational in a language. Being conversational means you understand a language fairly well and have basic to intermediate communication skills.
When you are fluent, you have a much deeper understanding of a language and are able to use it intuitively. This ability often takes YEARS to develop.
However, under certain circumstances, you CAN get fluent in 3 months. To learn when and how this is possible, watch the complete video and pay attention to the specific examples I give. You might be a lot closer to fluency than you realize!
Finally, remember that this is the internet. Lots of people will say ANYTHING to get you to click on their video or buy their course. We have to take everything with a grain of salt. This means you can't believe everything you read or hear. If something sounds way too good to be true, it probably is.
Hopefully this video is helpful. I look forward to reading your thoughts in the comments :)

helps me practice fluent English, I speak very little
Well explained! I'm an English teacher in Brazil and students who come for the sample class usually ask me how long it will take for them to become fluent. I tell them it depends on how motivated they are to really learn English. There's no magic! If you don't expose yourself to native English, even on TH-cam, movies, if you don't speak English outside class, you'll never be fluent.
Thanks for sharing that! We had enough of liars!
Yeah... it's like someone who is just learning basketball asking an NBA superstar how fast they'll learn and be a pro... it just doesn't work like that. :/
não da para ficar fluente com uma aula semanal de duas horas..
@@valdelinobike verdade, mas aí que tá, você não precisa esperar por essa ''uma aula'', seja seu próprio motivador, vá atrás de informações, estude só, ajude você mesmo a aprender mais e mais. Se exponha a língua sempre que puder.
I do agree! As she said, in real life is different cause people usually use dialects or even an incorrect english! And also you should practice your english. They need to know how to communicate in everyday life, and for that you need experiences in real life... like do shopping, handle the documents etc...
Agree with you
Your pronunciations is amazing, I was really surprised that I can understand literally every single word that came out from your mouth, thanks for videos, I hope I’ll reach the same pronunciation skill as a native speaker on one day. Subscribed
same to me. Yesterday in a meeting I can't understand people from America. I thought must because of my poor English. but I can totally understand her... so What's the problem...
Yeahh, i totally agree with you
Weird Question but Hi, I actually am a native speaker of english and I've been try to look for a native speaker of spanish xD
@@sarahheuker2093 hi, I’m a native spanish-speaker, and i’d love to practice my English pronunciation with someone, specially if it’s with a native speaker, would you like for us to connect and help each other?
@@jafethceciliano1926 sure
I get so happy for understanding what you say almost completely. In my dreams, I use to say that I'm an intermediate level, but I'm working on it to improve and get as close as I can to fluency. Thank you for your video, it definitely helped me a lot.
Omg! I love to understand 100% of what you say. Fast and natural English. Always good to have your audios as podcasts on my phone. Best channel!
Cheers from Brazil!
It isnt to natural as you think, she speaks a pretty right with a super diction, stuffs that you miss on a real conversation. However, if you could understand the video it means you have a really solid english and will can improve easily.
Stefi speaks super fast but super clear. That's different to movie english or street native english speaker.
Does her podcasts on Spotify? I can't find them.
Yeah, that is totally magic XD. The fact I understand 99.9% of what this Lady says, that is building my confidence in the language.
@@nickmarzork Improve your English and learn English football vocabulary on my channel... new topics every week.
Totally agree with you. I’ve been learning English for many year but I’m not fluent yet, it’s frustrating for me, but I gonna take in count your advices, thank u so much!!
Thank you for your honesty Stephanie, I’ll keep trying and won’t give up. I’m from Dominican Republic.
Never give up 😀
Yeah, I got it Stephanie. I'm studying English for almost three years from LITERALLY scratch... I can understand your videos 70 or 80% but speaking is complicated to me still. But, I'm on it! Thanks for sharing your experience with us! Have a good one :)
Really thank you, you exactly focus on a real problems we face, especially you was learning a foreign language.. go on coach 👍
I love the way you speak. and your accent is very beautiful.

Tnx for that video and all other videos you posted,
You are the English Coach we all need !!!!
All the best for You!!!
Your point of view is very precisely and I agree totally with.
BR BR 👍
I have a dream: speak English as fast as you lol!
I could understand 99% that you said without looking at the subtitle (the word -intuitively- was the exception), but obviously I cannot speak like that :/
I'm Brazilian, I've been studying English by myself for the last 15 years just because I love this language and thank God I had the opportunity to live in the U.S. for 2 months and I just came back. I can feel how much my English skills have improved, it's amazing, fantastic! I'm very excited to come back to the U.S. and finally get fluent, what is such a dream for me, because I'm more than sure that English schools in Brazil are not enough for me.
I wish everyone who loves English like me had the chance to travel and live an international experience like that.
Thank you for your sincerity, Coach!

I’ve been watching yours videos and I loved it, I love the way you teach I’m not fluent speaking but i’ll going to get it, step by step ,
I just love the way she speaks I am able to understand every single word coming out of her mouth that makes me confident
Thank you, coach, for giving me confidence in myself, because I did try studying English for a long long time, but as you see I'm at the same level after 14 years.
Despite I've never been in course classes, since my first year of studying this language in 2005 and neither been in a country that English the first language.
But by practicing with you on TH-cam and from the moment this year that I started to imitate your words, I get confident, vocabularies and I develop my skills in writing my plans and what I suppose to do in English.
Video N-26 I have already practice on.
Wow, I love this video. It's very transparent, very genuine. You're really a great coach. I can see that you really love what you're doing.
OMG I am so glad I found your channel. Thank you for speaking truth about a product and sharing your professional opinion. Thank you so very much. Keep it 💯💯💯💯💯
THANK YOU. I've been studying english for years and I'm really still not fluent and I'm really tired, but now you motivated myself.
I'm listening your video as a podcast, it's a great opportunity to train my hearing in English
🙂😀
Olá ! Sou do Brasil e fiquei muito feliz em saber que você estuda nossa língua ! Consigo te entender super bem, muito perto de 100%, porém muitas vezes não consigo entender outros nativos que não possuem uma dicção tão boa. Continuo estudando! Obrigada por compartilhar seus conhecimentos conosco por aqui! Venha ao Brasil quando puder que será muito bem vinda!
Thank you for sharing, I'm still working on my english speaking skills, i dont except adds my simply support and thanks for your channel
Just a word for you : sincerity, l love it, thank you !!
Great content as usual Stephanie, the best realistic mentor I've ever seen...thanks a lot... Your video motivates me ( and definitely many students ) to keep up, I was about to give up 😑, but now I realized the fact that no one in normal circumstances get fluent in less than five - eight years as you've mentioned
*Wow* ! That's exactly what I was telling one of my students 5 minutes ago. *What a coincidence!*
Koller! I love your channel, especially your series THE THORKS!
It's very good to see you here.
I think geniuses think alike.
Nossa, Rodger, legal !
quem mais é brazuka da like no meu comment. XD
Hi Stefani! I totally agree with you. When you have a solid foundation, the fluency will be much more easier to achieve. I started to watch your videos recently and I am trying to get fluency and the coolest thing is that I could understand everything you said without subtitle. Your accent is amazing, I could stay listening to you for hours. Thank you for sharing.
😊
I love your videos, you’re so realistic about learning a language, it takes time, but not impossible 👍🏼
🙂😀
Hi, Stefanie! I listen to your videos every day while I drive to work. When will you come to Brazil? Take care. Bye!
Hopefully soon! I really want to go there...
Thank you for your explanation in this video !!! Everything you said made sense for me and I will try to pratice my english every single day to improve it and to speak as a fluent person !!!!
Thanks a lot. As a non-native teacher of English I agree with every word of yours. Health, love, peace and good progress in studying English to everyone!
Hi..can I practice speaking with you?
I can't stress enough how i'm in love with your voice!
My English level is not bad, i scored 6.5 in Ielts exam and i always listen to different English YT channels, but you're my favorite.
Good luck to you with your life Stephanie ❤
Great job on your exam 🥳🥳🥳
Thank you so much for your great efforts my favourite teacher ❤️❤️
It is like 10 years that i have been learning english and still not fluent . I always asked myself and to some native speakers what was wrong with me but i did not get the answers . what you say is totally realistic and it sounds to good to be true it usually is . Thank you for clearing up my doubts .
moh wais yes
Your English sounds pretty good to me! If you hadn’t told me you were not a native speaker I wouldn’t have suspected.
you have changed my life.thank you so much and love you
super useful. love how this woman's brain work. great personality. really honest video!
Wowwww, I love how you explain everything so clearly and without lying. Someday I would like to meet you in person. I've been studying English for many years, probably 6 or more and I couldn't to get the fluency that I need and is why I sometimes feel bad and frustrated. I know is a long process.
Me too
Lets chat, and talk in english every single day
so if u speak the language you can be fluent in 3 months
if you have relatively good contact with the language.
Yeah, that's pretty much it, lol
I wish, I have a native speaker friend.
That's true. If you already have all the basic vocabulary, grammar and have been studying it for a while it's possible if you start practicing intensely on a daily basis. But I don't think it's possible if you start from scratch
I got fluent in English in 3 months level c1 I threw myself on it I stopped to watch anything in my native language
Bravo! So proud of you for stating a very valuable truth.
This lecture is so right! I tuned in to see what the general idea was about fluency in 3 months. I‘m learning German and am at a conversational level only . This is a really good explanation of the difference between conversational and true fluency. Thank you!,
wow! this is amazing, i´m learning English and sometimes i feel frustrated, because i would say that i have a solid foundation. Now that i´ve watched your video, you make me feel motivated. I need 2 talk with native speakers. Thank you sooooo much!

This video is one of the epic lectures that I 've watched in my life. I have been studying English passively for about 15 years. My English still is not beyond conversational level, because I am not exposed to daily spoken English.
You explained it very well.

Hi Stephanie,thanks for talking to me everyday.i really like you as a sister or a best friend
Take care and love you♥️
I agree with you cause I've been studying English for several years, I don't feel that I'm fluent but I try to improve everyday
Same here
I got fluent in a few months! maybe you're studying in the wrong way
I've seen so many cases like yours! but it's not impossible to improve your English in a few months, yet you have to make a lot of practice

I could not agreed more! I fully endorse your thoughts at all!
Thanks for your videos!!! I listen to you every day at my work for a week and I can understand 50% of what you say.I have been studying English since I was 18, today I am 39 and I don't have good English. Greetings from Argentina
I'm actually studying French recently and sometimes i feel down not being able to understand everything but i have to keep reminding myself it's so new to me and it took me more than 12 years to be fluent in English. It's kind of depressing somehow but it's a reason for me to try even more with french.. watching this vedio made me feel way better about my French and give me a hope that i know now I'm not stupid to not be able to be fluent in French because of those who say they can
I agree with you 100%. I'm an English teacher. I try to have my students more and more motivated. And the contact with natives is really important to absorbe the language even further. Thanks for the video!
This is the first video of your I watch. I completely agree with your points. I am currently learning to improve my speaking skills. Greeting from Indonesia.
You're AWESOME!! Perfectly honest and realistic. All your tips are great! I read your document about 'How to Speak with Native Speakers' and thought it was very helpful. Thanks!!
I studied in college for 4 years in Chicago and came back to South Korea in 1998. Of course, I've forgotten a lot of English words, expressions, and even some grammar... :-(
I hope I still have a solid foundation of English and i can hopefully keep it up.
I love your accent and your extremely clear pronunciation. Thank you again.♡
What about a podcast? Could be perfect❤🎧 ( you're the best teacher ^_^)

I’m actually a Lingoda teacher and love to hear the improvement of students after a few months. They work hard in the marathons and it shows. It’s amazing!
Hi, I’m doing the Lingoda super sprint for French. Do you know how strict they are with the attendance to get the refund? I have attended every day, (all green checkmarks so far) but my connection did cut out once ten minutes before class was over, and I have signed on two minutes after the start time maybe twice. Do you know if that would disqualify me? Thanks in advance.
@@zengseng1234 By my understanding, as long as you are in the class by 10 minutes past the hour you should be just fine. If ever you have problems losing your connection, make sure to email Lingoda and tell them. I hope you do well!

Your way of speaking is so fast and so clear. It really inspired me. Thank you coach.

I'm impressed with your pronunciation! I can understand everything!
Nossa, que legal que você sabe português também! Realmente, como você já tem uma boa base na língua e fala espanhol, vai ser bem mais fácil atingir a fluência.
Yeah, see... I understand comments like this 100%... but I struggle with speaking cause I never practice. 3 months in Brazil hanging out with all you amazing subscribers and I know I'll be FLUENT haha
I think it depends on fluency means to you, your strategy, and your effort. If fluency means being able to express yourself and being unafraid of mistakes (which is the definition of fluency in TESOL in terms of training students' speaking ability: "fluency before accuracy" - teachers encourage students to speak up before beginning to correct them), then becoming fluent in three months is possible. The Irish polyglot, Benny Lewis, author of Fluent in Three Months, recommends speaking the language from Day 1. I think it forces you to look up for the things you'd like to say and to take note of native speakers' feedbacks to your mistakes. It forces you to use the language during the chatting session and study it afterwards, just like immigrant children's first day of school. So yes it is possible to become fluent in three months, but in those three months, you'll have to constantly absord and practice new words, expressions, and phrases in the language. Lots of effort will have to be spent on it.
There's another Taiwanese polyglot, Terry Hsieh, who took only one year to go from an absolute beginner of French to passing DALF C1. He said in the process, he had to spend most if not all of his time in French out of his university classes.
In short, three months is really not the point. What matters is how you learn it and how much time you spend on it every day.
Hey Steff, your videos are very helpfull for me, especially on pronouncing. Thx a lot
I think I know who you're talking about offering fluency in 3 months, and it's true it just doesn't make any sense. You're right, to get fluency is a journey and there is no an easy way to go! I've just found your YTBchannel and I like it a lot! saludos desde Bollivia-south américa!

@@TheJoesWorld Also English teacher : English with Lucy !!!!
@@neomatrix3313 ok, will check it out))
Agree. I think studying English can be like a multiplication. If you start with zero knowledge or around there, you cannot be fluent in such a short period even with the best teacher and the class. But you start with some, you might.
Thanks for giving the truth about this. Many people don't understand something like learning a language has to be taken slowly.
Thank you very much for your explanation. I've studied English during the last three years and I'm at the intermediate level yet... One teacher said to me "learning a language is a process for the rest of your life, and that thing it's the most interesting of this process, indeed"
Now I've started to learn Danish, and as you said, I need tons of motivation during the next years to achieve my goal. Thank you again!
Entendi perfeitamente os primeiros 15 segundos do que você disse! Estou estudando sozinho.
Everyone is different, but I believe there may be a pattern. I've been living in Finland for 17 years and I'm terrible at Finnish. I only spoken English up until I moved here. Even in school, where we have to learn a language (which was French BTW), I basically rebelled, and didn't study at all out of lesson time.
I know people here with no foundation in Finnish (refugees for example) that have near fluency in just 10 months. I met a Spanish guy who was very good after 3 months of study in Finland, but not quite fluent yet. I believe it's down to being fluent in more than one language before studying, which these guys were. It somehow becomes trivial for the brain to add new languages after the second or third language. The guys I met who could speak great Finnish in such a short time, spoke fluent English (and sometimes other languages) as well as their native tongue.
I've heard Benny from fluent in 3 months, and I recall him saying something similar; that it's easy to learn languages after acquisition of other languages. For this reason, he recommends learning the more basic languages. For English speakers, this would be Esperanto or Dutch, for example. Then progress to more difficult ones. I think this would be great for kids too.
Yep Missy teach. No way from 0 to hero within 3 months.
Tks 4 your lessons. Appreciation.
Stay totally safe when abroad from US of big A.
Andrew
You're right, I just need to keep going, right now I feel like i'm at the intermediate plateau but that won't stop me to keep learning
I became fluent in English in one year.
I was spending all my days chatting with people online (only by typing).
At first, I had to use Google Translator for every single message but slowly I started picking up words and grammar and didn't have to use the translator anymore.
Hablo español :v vivo en Estados Unidos y ya he estidiado inglés desde niño, tengo fundamentos sólidos del idioma, entiendo perfectamente tus videos o películas, pero aún no soy fluido. Pero lo seré en 3 meses jajaja
A lo mejor porque casi no lo hablas con los nativos
I know that you have a lot of work in your life, but you HAVE to post videos HERE! I love you!
Stefanie, you are great. Thanks for being honest.
14:26 Little mistake, you put in the subtitle word 'two', instead of 'to' (I mean the second 'two', before the word 'practicing').
It's just my observation. And, thanks for the videos, they're very useful!
I believe reading aloud interview conversations in English, listening to native speakers and watching interviews will make you become fluent in English in 3 months only if you immerse yourself with it and just like you said you have to have solid foundation to begin with. English is my second language and I'm still not fluent with it despite years of absorbing tons of words because immersing myself with it is the only thing I haven't done.
I totally agree with you Stefanie! When I visualized this video I thought "C'mon other liar?" But you said importants things here, get the fluency in three months is impossible if you not have got a good foundation of the language that you are learning, so well done Stefanie!
I'm from Brazil, I love English language, I know many things, but I need more vocabulary. I believe that I can do this. Don't give up ✌💪
Oi, Stefanie!!
Eu sou controlador de voo e estou dando aulas de inglês para meus colegas, embora eu não seja fluente (meu nível de proficiência avaliado pela ICAO é 5, sendo 6 o nível máximo). Seus vídeos são um guia pra mim e servem como material didático. E te agradeço demais por isso! (= And I really want to thank you for that!)
A maior dificuldade no meu caso, é justamente o fato de que não há como preparar o controlador para os inúmeros sotaques que ele irá ouvir: franceses, japoneses, espanhóis, russos, etc., se expressando em inglês. Daí quando vc disse que está aprendendo português, e como o Brasil tem inúmeros sotaques, devido sua extensão territorial, eu fiquei curioso sobre se vc sabe que tipo de português está aprendendo...
Você é uma inspiração!
Obrigado por tudo.
Hi, first of all I really appreciate for your skills to attract people to learn native language, GOOD JOB, What you said and I understood you, it encourages me not to slow down (brake!) my intentions, my ambitions to continue to improve my level in English but how can I find opportunities to talk to people have a good native English language skills and have the patience to communicate with me knowing that I can not speak too fast
I was in the same case as you. But i discovered Lingoda's Marathon and it's the best and faster way to improve your english skills. You have one course per day for 3 months with native speakers who learn you english and like you have to discuss, answer and reading a lot, your speaking english skills will improve so fast and make you really confident. And if i complete the Marathon i will be 100% refund...So it's really challenging and there is a big reason for not give up !
*learn to you
Thank u very much...this video give me a lot of information
