I started learning English in 1993. Then in two months my teacher all of a sudden fell down on his way to the University he worked and got injured. As a result of that accident he lost most of his memory and could not even recognize most of his relatives. So I gave it up for a while. Then I got back and started learning the languace in1995. A friend of mine recomended me a teacher who lived near by. What I want to say that I just did exactly the same what you say about the ways of thinking in English. Sometimes I would lose control and would talk as if I was talking to someone and all of a sudden I would catch someone's eyes on me and probably thinking what a mentally insane human being I was))) But it helped me a lot to improve my ability to start being able to express myself fluently. So this is a very nice Idea about how to poductively learn a foreign language, in particular English. Just keep on and be the way you are.
@@EnglishwithMax Oh yes, unfortunately sometimes bad things happen to us unexpectedly. But what be done about it? Obviously nothing. So goes the world and that is what our live is about. Good luck to you, Ms. Max. Chin up and go ahead :-)
Your lessons are always to the point and somehow comfy to listen, even enjoyable. Yes, that's right! Quite a lot situations I get in I try to describe them for myself in English. Unfortunately, very often I can find the appropriate expressions for my emotions or even how to swear in modest way. Therefore my thougts are some way sounding for me as not tipical mine, artificial. I'll try to find a model suitable for me to dub.
The only teacher (or coach? :) ) who really 'spreads the love' generously giving the 'hearts' away, answering all the questions. That`s so inspiring! I wish I hadn`t had the same 'heart' to exchange :).
One tip that might be helpful: everytime you learn a new word, make your examples and phrases related to your real life, that makes it easier to remember
I really love your english teachings on TH-cam. It is really very helpful. I get motivated and want to improve my english speaking as well as writing. Could you please make videos for formal and informal writing English? Your technique is so powerful. I love watching your videos. Thanks a lot.
Thanks a lot for your advice indeed I have benefit. I my self I didn't do those tactical all but always I'm thought everything that I did in English and i see it helpful.
I already changed my phone's language, two weeks ago, maybe you will call me crazy but sometimes i'm watching a movie or any tv show in english of course or dreving my car and i'm thinking in english even when i'm looking any single thing. by the way what does your shirt say? you grew up.... i couldn't ready the next word
That's great! To be honest, lots of people won't need to make an effort to do these types of exercises, because they'll start thinking in English naturally anyway like you. :) Haha, it's silly. It says: I grew up with mermaids
Thank you very much for your pretious suggestions! I needed of these usefull tips, because I can't get motivated enough when I speak to myself out loud. But I need to ask you a question: how can I know if I make mistakes when I speak? If I constantly check the dictionary, I lose patience and get tired!
My pleasure! You can also try imitation and shadowing - that way you don't need to use a dictionary all the time. I explain them here: th-cam.com/video/zp9Fbq3sN7U/w-d-xo.html
You're right, but I've the pronunciation problem that for me it's very difficult. Each vowel or consonant have plus different sounds and I'm very confuse when must read a written word because I don't know which sound have to issue for a specific vowel or consonant inserted within of such written word.
@jack mousse the trouble is that to every word to its pronounce need a specific lesson so to do millions and millions of words of all the language need a endless time that no one can have.
I have attended to several of your lessons as if I were in your class, and I confess that I have enjoyed myself listening to them.I am Maltese and I think I have a good level of English, but when I come to meet English people with whom I have to speak in English , I rather feel embarrassed. If I write an essay I do not bother but when it come to speaking that is another story. what do you think? Thank you very much and keep giving us more lessons,. They are really interesting. May I tell you that your facial expressions are very expressive.
Yes, it's very normal to feel self-conscious when speaking (there's usually no time to prepare!). I'm glad you like my videos and thank you for watching!
On your advice i called the police about my neighbours and i spoke english. They came to my house and i've been passed in custody on the ground of "public disorder and disrespect (to the police officers)". I'm French.
Hi Max, Hope you are doing well and safe. You have explained the above techniques which are outstanding. Since we often use these techniques to improve ourself as we are a non-native speaker. Frankly, you have a great sagacity of English. Therefore I do watch your videos. Thank you and keep making such wonderful videos.
Thank you again for your kind words! (By the way, we actually say "Hope you are well and safe" - without the "doing". Or, more commonly: "Hope you are safe and well." But without "safe" you can say: "Hope you are doing well." I just thought you might want to know!) Many thanks again!
I have my phone on English. Now writing in Spanish to my friends through WhatsApp is a nightmare. It tries to correct my words from Spanish to English all the time!!! 😂
@@EnglishwithMax Yes, you can do that and then install two plug-in dictionaries, one per language. The problem is that you have to select them manually before start typing in, and that's the last thing you remember to do, usually. I'm old and not a Cel phone fan anyway. Cheers !
Thanks and again Thanks from all of us!! Sorry a question I have to ask you: because from mobile(phone) subtitles aren't showed? and is there an App where I can see your marvelous video? Thanks
No worries! You should be able to get subtitles on a smartphone by using the TH-cam app. You need to click the three dots in the corner of a video and then click captions. I hope that helps!
@@EnglishwithMax Ok thank you very much once time again. I will try and I let you know! If Austrialian people are all like you and Christian I'll move ther as soon as possible , Ciao
Totally agree with the techniques! I would even say that having an imaginary dialogue gives us the chance to be at least two different characters! Writing a song or a short story would be also in my opinion a challenging way to test our English... Of course, the help of a good app or ideally a native speaker would be the best to get the feedback that these techniques usually call for...
Thanks for your comment, Alfonso! Oh yes, if language learners tried to write songs or stories in their foreign language(s), I think it would definitely help! I suppose I was always too lazy to do that. 😄
Is it possible to think in english? I have been hearing people saying it in my native language too which is called pular or fulani but to me thinking does not speak any language instead a thinker exteriorises his thoughts in a language that he understands best.
I'm doing one thing, but I don't know if it's useful. When I hear English audio, like your video, I repeat in my mind all the phrases that you say. Will this technique give me good results?
Hi! It might help a little, but it would better for your speaking if you said the words out loud, even if you have to pause the audio/video sometimes. And really say the words - don't whisper them. 😉
May I ask you something? What would you advice when someone's aim would be increasing level of English from B1/2 to C1/2: is it better to be completely focused on English or is it not a bad idea to study English and another foreign laguage from scratch? How much slower would someone notice progess in the second case? Nice and helpful video! 😉
Thanks! Well, it depends on how much time you have and what your priorities are. If your main aim is to improve your English and you don't have a lot of spare time, I'd probably just focus on English for the moment. But if that's not the case, I don't think there's anything wrong with starting a new language.
@@EnglishwithMaxThank you very much 😊😊 could you pls say who, whether Americans, or British or Australians, pronounce 'offen' and 'oftten' ? Dear Max, i'm sorry for asking u many doubts. And I'm glad and thankful to u for spending ur invaluable time in clearing my doubts.☺☺☺

I have my phone on English. Now writing in Spanish to my friends through WhatsApp is a nightmare. It tries to correct my words from Spanish to English all the time!!! 😂
Haha!
But can't you have a couple of languages installed and just switch between keyboards?
:))) This is how your phone will help you to learn English more better. Just enjoy the process.
