Why 95% of you will FAIL to learn another language... and how to fix that

- I talk about 10 reasons (plus a bonus one!) why many language learners fail to learn another language and achieve a high level of proficiency. I talk about how to solve these issues so you can ensure you're not "doomed" to giving up and failing to achieve your language goals.
🎙️ LISTEN TO MY PODCAST HERE: theprocrastinationpodcast.buz...
*Selinker (1984) predicted that 95% of second language learners would never be able to attain a native-like command of a target language. Their paper focuses mostly on 'fossilisation'. A quick Google search will lead you to their papers and more research if you're curious to know more.

I teach using just one of many accents in the world. Please only learn it if you like it and if you are interested in learning it. I do not believe there is one “correct” accent or manner of pronunciation and I fully encourage EFL/ESL learners to expose themselves to as many varieties of English around the world to become accustomed to the beautiful variations of this world language. I focus mostly on teaching “Modern RP” (I may just say “RP” in my older videos, but to clarify, I do specifically mean “Modern RP”), however, you will hear a lovely little Yorkshire twang to my accent from time to time too. Please LOVE and BE PROUD of your accent. After all, it is part of your identity and makes you unique. 💚

How do you enjoy learning languages? :)
Playing Vedio games on that Language.. Like Minecraft my favourite and Sims....Reading scary books and also Harry potter my favourite and The Merry adventure of Robin hood i am reading and i am also reading 50 worlds greatest horror stories (book)..watching films watching your livestream listen to your podcast all the time and also watch your vedios....and other gaming vedios in english. Specifically all thing watch do read play is in English 😁💚
Hmmm ... I know english .. i did alll my studies in english 😁 british one ... But when i watch movies, I don't understand .. so i am interested in understanding a native speaker .. my pronunciation and accent is terrible .. 😁
Plus .. i studied in british but our teachers speak or pronounce it like american .. it mixed up so now i am focusing on a british accent ... 😵💫😵💫😵💫
Extremely, I can't sleep peacefully if I don't learn one day
And extremely thankyou for motivation 🌹🌹🌹
For an Asperger that I am: learning languages is like a therapy because it has transformed my life. But, I'm rather a self-taught as I left school when I was nine years old. In short, learning has saved me from going crazy.
I've been living in France for fourty years now and I've been learning French since my arrival here. Learning a language is like climbing a mountain: the higher we climb the more we encounter difficulties.
It can feel like that sometimes
I can try to help you with your french , my English is not so good but I do my best
@@sekoutoure8183 Thank you for your proposal, but I must focus on my English learning.

Tres bien donc on arrive ...
Thank you Emma for your valuable advice. Your tips are not only applicable to language learning but also to learning other things. You have motivated me because I love learning different things but they may not be useful in others' eyes. I learn just because I like it, but people always think that you should learn something that can help you to make money.
I’ve been listening to your podcast since you started it! I really enjoy your voice and accent, always glad to see you back with new topics! I’ve also been learning English for several years now, 6 I guess... This is endless journey, though this is the greatest part of learning!
Wanna say thank you with love from Russia 💖
Love your hair style! 😄
I usually watch series in English, use coursebooks and have a study-buddy to practice conversational English, which turned out to be the best decision of the last year! Happy new year btw 🥳
Me encanta como hablas inglés!!
Me ayuda escucharte. Simplemente escuchándote, aprendo un montón.
Valuable hints. Staying motivated is key as well as starting right. To me learning English was like walking in a labyrinth of teachers e techniques. I had to step back several times and see what works for me.
That's such a good analogy! I remember being SO overwhelmed with the free content online and the endless courses and TH-cam channels 😅 over time you just start to whittle down the list to your favourites!
Wow!! You are really the best teacher of all Emma. I can't imagine more logical and perfect teacher than you at all. Not only that, but also you are a good human being with a good heart. I don't know maximum of the British are as good as you or not, but I am going to like and respect your community hearing and seeing you. I am really thankful to you. Best wishes.❤
Thanks for the advices ! You are an amazing teacher.
Valuable video as everything You've uploaded.
Thank you very much my awesome teacher 😘😘😘
Now I'd like to share what I did and what I'm still doing
1) Keep away any negative thought.
2) Set up goals but not ambitious goals. Just step y step
3) Have an schedule
4) Look for speaking parteners
5) Don't give up NO WAY!
6) Practice writing
7) Read a lot and loud out
8) Speak up
9) Training your ears PODCASTS
10) Duolingo this app has been working for me
Thanks Teacher Emma for giving us so so interested and precious instructions and very productive videos, Thanks again
Thanks for a lovely lesson, lovely Emma!! 😊🙂
Fascinating topic Emma,
For me my observation has always been that quitting is always an option for English native speakers.
We have a comfort zone in the world that is hard to leave and it becomes difficult to put yourself in positions where you are the only English native speaker in the room.
Yessss, so true!! And it's also so easy for us to "give in" when people switch to English around us. Living here in Spain now, I encounter a few waiters and people who speak to me in England and I FLAT OUT REFUSE to back down and speak English back to them 🤣 Then it just ends up being a weird conversation where they refuse to speak Spanish and I refuse to speak English.
@@Pronunciationwithemma haha yeah I've been there!
❤ as usual excellent way to explain the things. Thank you Emma. I am learning a lot of things from you.. love you😂
Thanks so much Emma.
Thanks teacher Emma. Your student from Malaysia.
Thanks, my dear, Emma
Yeah, you are right. Because of not being mother tongue sometimes we can't express everything in another languages. But in the case of English it's completely different because this language can be mastered because of being an international language all can speak English more or less . But your consultation was also very much effective. But in view, to learn any kind of languages own avidity is much needed.
Overall this video was so helpful as well as educational .Sometimes this kind of motivational video makes the lessons delicious....🙂🙂🙂💖💖💖
You are my favorite teacher I ve ever met in my life. Thank you so much for your dedication for us. Because of your teaching skills we are gaining more knowledge of English. Thnku so much from the bottom of my heart ♥. Lots of love from India 🇮🇳 🇮🇳
I wish i could speak as many languages as you do .. that’s so impressive 😮
You’re right and so is Krashen the affective filter plays a major role in the learning of a foreign language
Thank you Emma 😊
I've forgotten many of them but their rules and things are still in my mind, which helps me greatly with my students!! :)
It's really good thank you very much
Thank you teacher 👏
Thankyou very much madam 🌹🌹
This video helps me a lot to ignite my soul for learning languages.
I can understand every sentences you spoke in this video. But when I watch an American movie or drama, it is 10 times more difficult to understand. I keep encountering advanced-level vocabulary when I read newspapers. It is endless journey. So, mastering English as 2nd language is as difficult as becoming a doctor or lawyer for me. I admire your passion for languages.
hi emma how are you,sometimes i watch your videos thank you so much you are a good english teacher GOD bless you
Nice to see your podcast back! BTW, what do you think of Duolingo?
Mehh... it's not the worst app I've seen. There are better
I love your teaching methodology
Hi.. Emma...Thank you very much
❤I love Emma. Thanks
You're a great person God bless you always
I am from Uzbekistan. You are amazing💜
Hi Emma, I love learning a new language like Arabic and Spanish. As you said I have to study hard to learn them Emma. I want to improve my British English from you Emma. You can teach English so well. I only love native British English rather than other English accents in the world
i enjoy so much when i lestning your vedio.. thann you🙏🙏🙏🙏 and good luck emma from moroco
THE BEST ADVICE DON'T DISCOURAGE BY PEOPLE OPINION JUST FOLLOW YOUR ❤ don't listen to them. Listen to your ❤
awesome!
I have been studying English for 1 hour a day for 1 year and 5 months, from zero now i am at B1-B2 i would say my listening skills C1.
💗💜❤ so interesting episode
I'm doing an experiment right now. I learn about 5 hours of English every day and I'm excited to see what I'll achieve in a year. I can speak German very well and some Spanish. There is a lot of vocabulary that occurs in both languages. The hardest thing about English is pronunciation. When I read something, I understand very well, but I can't pronounce it. That means I have to check almost every new word in the lexicon. That's not fun.
5 hours a day?! In a year you'll be at a very good level depending on what you're doing in those 5 hours 😄
Update me in a year, if you can! ❤️
@@Pronunciationwithemma depending on what you're doing 😉😂👍
Good evening Teacher Emma 🙌I'm only found your channel .
That is the nicest offer TH-cam I've gotten all day🎉🚀
You are gorgeous 🥰
waw! just an awesome piece of work. I believe lots of us don't all of this mistakes.
the fun fact is we really don't know what is the real mistake and what is correct..!
thank you dear "EMMA"
So long as you can be understood, it isn't the end of the world :)
hello emma nice to heard u
Good afternoon Emma. I am Paul from Italy. First at all, thanks for your job. I am following you on your youtube channel. You are a good teacher and a kind girl. I am 37 years old. I studied English until the age of 14, then I stopped, but a few months ago I decided to improve my english skills. I am doing exercises with duolingo, I am watching english video on youtube, I am reading articles in English, but I need to speak much more. Could you advice me some free english speakink clubs on internet? Thank you in advance and have a good evening!
I'm Brazilian girl, I remember that I was child I learned Japanese and I said for my mom it's so hard, and my mom said for me when you start speak Japanese you go enjoy more, she buy many things about Naruto. 😂
Muy teacher favority greting from Perú
We never fail as long as we are ur learn from u❤😊
Thank you a bunch. How many languages do you speak? Have a nice weekend 👍
I answered this question in the video :)
Hello, Emma. I like your videos so much. If you don’t mind, I would like to ask your permission to share your videos related to pronunciation to the other website for the embarrassing reason that TH-cam is blocked from accessing in China. And of course, I will give sources of the original website. Thank you so much.
29:38 GOD BLESS THE PRECIOUS ANGEL 🤗
Pls make a video based on "Sentence starters "
Thank you Mam
I really enjoy learning language
This video is very handy for me, how to learn an English language? Lot of love from kashmir
Listen to the video, I explain how to start learning a language 👍
Que legal que você aprendeu português
🖐Hi...........Emma you did it well
I have already listened it on a app...i am ethan by the way💚💚💚.. And what kind of book you mentioned like story books or like learning book like grammar Staffs??
I read graded readers in the language I am learning :)
@@Pronunciationwithemma ooo...so its mean i just have to pick a good book it could be a story book as well.. Thanks
You are very very tweet theacher I love you theacher.
hello EMMA your talk is interesting don't consume a lot of content to learn I'm RICHARD and I'm French people result I don't have ENGLISH teacher what I do to improve my English skill I listen to TH-cam and it's more easy for me to listen to you than AMERICAN you pronounce English word very well it's nice to understand.AMERICAN seems to be like ANDALOUS. I don't recommend people who want to learn SPANISH to go toward ANDALUSIA is not a good idea they speak like American .
I learned Spanish hearing my parents. now my goal it's to improve my English skill. when I was teenager I listened to ENGLISH GROUP such DEEP PURPLE and RAINBOW . And my dream it's to practice more output but it isn't easy in France I don't find English people .
I like to speak Spanish too . At home with my son and his wife we speak Spanish each others .Emma you're beautiful accent . I don't know where are you coming from ?. to help me to continue I take no so more serious my learning English language. because it's true I'm French and to speak like you isn t possible. Even when I go to Spain people see I'm not native speakers but the main purpose it's to comunicate that all. if you learn something and you think to the top .I think you surrender and is not wise .thank you to share with you my opinion. RICHARD

Hi, Emma I'm pleased to hear you're studying Japanese. I understand you think Japanese is a bit difficult for you because I know Japanese has different language grammer and letters from English.
I hope you will be able to speak Japanese😊
The letters are the easy part of Japanese! Kanji is a pain though 🤣
You're so beautiful with nice eyes, today i still learn tenses of english. To difficult enough to learn all of it.
I'm big fan from Bangladesh 🖤
Love and respect from Pakistan 🇵🇰

Can you do video on the word “sir” ? How’s it pronounced in British English? Is the letter “r” dropped and not pronounced?
It's silent in Modern RP and RP, yes!
@@Pronunciationwithemma Thank you so much for the reply! I appreciate this a lot!
Por cierto, me encantaría escucharte hablar español, seguro q lo hablas genial!
Hablo español en uno de los episodios de mi podcast :) Hablo mucho español también en mis Twitch streams!
I wanna ask about the verb "Flied" the past of fly. Ist it correct ?
Flew
Mam your smiling is o so good
I am a viewer of your learning. I am an English teacher. Please link a PDF of all English grammar please.
A quick Google will help solve that for you 👍
How do we know what level we are on is it b1 c1 how do we know that.....?
I can read and translate b2-c1 texts on internet or in graded readers. I even can understand most of TH-cam speakers without subtitles. But a absolutely can not speak by myself. I just don't remember most of the words I want to say. What should I do to improve my skills up to b1-b2 level? I'm 47 years old.
If your issue is speaking, then speak more! If your issue is listening, then listen more! :)
One more problem is that, while learning a new language sometimes we use some of the words of that new language in language which we daily use and people/family used to laugh and make fun of our accent.
Especially if they're similar, yes 😅
@@Pronunciationwithemma Most irritating is their laughter
You are a lovely girl first, then a teacher ❤

I'm always telling to myself "I can easily cope with English"
If I can cope with Japanese, you can cope with English xD
@@Pronunciationwithemma my teacher says that the shortest way to learning another language is pronunciation -sounds,words,centences, intonations
I love you❤😂
