As for communication skills I learn whole sentences saying them aloud. 5 days - 300 repetitions per day at least. Later I don't need to translate. I know the meaning of words straight away like in my native language. And also I remember the meaning longer than by learning separate words. This method is called: chunking. It was a real game changer in my learning process in English and other languages.😊
Actually I can speak English, but I don't use very advanced vocabulary.this is my problem l know a lot of idoms and expressions advanced words but I still using Simple vocabulary
I'm self-taught, so I lack the conversation part. Years ago, when I felt confident enough with my vocabulary and grammar I tried to learn by talking to natives just to find a bunch of bullies from USA that made so scared to speak English ever again (unless necessary) for so many years. Also, I never liked English as a language so I used that time to learn other languages first. Now I feel ever more confident, I definitely will practice conversation again and join a course soon.
you choose the wrong people to talked to...i believe its rare to happen, because i was in the position like you talking to US citizen, but most of them didnt necessarily to correct me if i dont ask them to.. if i ask them they'll understand me..

@@InstantEnglishUKyou mentioned that your wife's first language is spanish, well my girlfriends first language is also spanish, she is from the caribbean and i am from scotland, met her online last month and havent met her irl though, but yeah that doesnt matter
I've been talking English a lot. My English speaking skills have improved. However, I still make stupid mistakes, sometimes. Rome wasn't built in day, it takes time to get fluent in English.
i can write english effortlessly as it is my native language, with an excellent vocabulary and grammar but im pretty bad at communicating in english. i don’t know why but i kinda hesitate before speaking anything in english
God give us all this language for more understanding each other. We are all blessed souls we need to focus more on our energy and intuition. Then we can learn so much easier
I can understand what you say because of writing, i can't understand some words but i know the topic in general. I have a problem in listening, many times i can understand what someone say but when he finished i forget what i translate and what he say.
I am a Ukrainian, probably not that good at speaking English... Yet, I was using all of the tips you gave for about a year without even realizing. Never ever watched you beforehead. Thanks anyway, now I know these things are useful. :D
I can relate a lot with this video. The grammar things are so tricky for me. When I tried to speak English the first thing come to my mind is am I using the correct tense and the correct preposition and that's why I always hesitate to talk in English.
Thanks very much for this valuables tips , i'll give it a shot . And from now on i'm a follower to you , because you have a simple dialect that can help me improving my listening 🎉
am from asia, selftaught english with movies...youtube, musics, etc. i think why non-native speakers are hard to speak in english fluently is because their mindset are still stuck in their native language ways, so before talking in english they are tend to processing what things they are about to speak in their native language then translate it to english which were didnt work because every language sometimes couldnt work like that. you should leave off your native mindset to english. im speaking to myself in the shower, while driving, whenever i got a chance to speak alone.
my first launguage is English and i pronoumce geography, photogaraphy, and many words like them as they are spelt whereas most people say it different and normally lol
It also the same case with me. I knew english but not perfectly. Im more good on written rather than oral and most of the time, i got tongue tied and lost everytime i had a conversation to an English speaker....😅😅
it depends on the environment you live, some countries english not the main language, if you speak English they treat you like they met an alien its amazing to them they surprise
well, i can little speak English but only understand with text or with subtitles and when i'm watch english video not with subtitles i can't understand like "what they talking about?!"
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏A gooooorgeous lesson, Chris ! 👏👏👏👏👏 Many years ago I looked after my uncle's ponies at Cowdray Park Polo Club, in Midhurst.... Everybody there spoke English like you, without an accent, if you know what I mean ! 😀😄😀😄😀 Un abrazo, from Olivos, Buenos Aires, Argentina🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧🇦🇷🇬🇧
i really wnna improve my english, in general i can write and read, but idk whats happen when i try to speak with someone other than my english teatcher. these days im really trying to improve my listening, but i really need to practice more my own comunication, im trying to learn new expressions, but i normaly forget quick because i dont have anyone to use constantly, like, someone that really wnna learn english like me 😢. My name is Luiza, im from Brasil and im 14, if someone with the same or similar age that are learn english too wanted to be my friend just to practice our english kkkkkk
We don't need the brain it's often like a case that's the r3ason why we should more focus on our spiritual energy we have so much wise inside us and we lifed more then one life some of us lifed in a pastlife in japan and can speak it fluently because in a pastlife they lifed there and etc....
That's why I'm only fluent when I'm drunk 😂 feeling more relaxed and not being afraid of making mistakes does the game and the person I'm speaking with will understand the meaning of my phrases, one way or another
It's a problem that happens to most English language students in my country. I have many friends in the same major as me, but none of them are willing to speak English outside of class. I think it's all because of the fear of judging each other, and this is never good. It made us suffer from giving presentations and communicating with people
In my experience movie watching helps, I pick up some lines and look it up in a dictionary, way back we don't have Google now actually is much easier especially now that your around. Hehe thank you Chris..
Same here. I've watched lotta movies since I was in middle school, and I usually asked my friend about some words that doesn't really have the right meaning on G translate.
@@InstantEnglishUK I'm kinda old actually but i never really stop learning, this whole process makes me stand out from the rest, sure I do make mistakes specially when engaging with people, but hey life is a learning process for as long as you want.
😅Yes it is a problem , tilp 15 i was like princess beatrice - hard to read etc, but i find for myself favorite books, Because dostayvskya, tolstoy, chehov, and that age for me was too heavy, and i hated to read, and had 3 mark(we have 5 marks system) by ny own native l. So, even now i am really scared to talk on english i have a fear, that my speach is not perfect and well understand, so i am really afraid to talk with someone on english, espesially with native speaker, it is scary! But i understand english, tv series, books, my freinds abroad :) I think it is psyhology😅... kind of shy😅
😅I think that all goes from childhood, we dont have use such deseese as "disleksia", so if u kike princess beatrice, you will be hated and called stupid and ugly Because childern are cruel! So, it is problematic, i am introvert, by tests or speqch it will be impossible for strange people understand my level, Because i am really interesting person wich since childhood like peter parker-nerd, wich study everything around😅
Does randomly changing from my language to English in the middle of the conversation (with someone who understands me in English) without thinking count as being fluent? Btw I do it in my thoughts too.
My goal is to sound native but everytime I try to imitate a british accent I am scared to be called a "faker" or having a "fake accent". Nobody has told me that directly into my face so far but I think that way about myself, every time I try to sound more british. It's probably because I am scared to sound cliché like hdhfhdgdsh
I'll be glad to practice with you , i'm also a new learner of this language , and why we don't help ourselves to enhance our pelling and speaking ? If you are interrested to start communicate , then reply to me , so i will arrange with you
@@InstantEnglishUK I was looking at your course plans and the one that costs $65.00 per month caught my attention and if I am not mistaken I understood that this includes 8 classes of 1 hour, right and my question is if that is true and where are the virtual classes?
That's because of the overthinking and the grammar rules way of studying ,the sulotion is to not give a damn about the grammar try to understand then deliver the massage you want spontaneously as you're doing with your native language
It means that you learn English mostly by listening and didn't really study the words and definitions. I noticed most native speakers that are not well educated are like this. They can speak fluently but lack comprehension or can't read
You have to live in native country to speak fluently Full ur vocabularly,grammar everyday practice,even if you ll make mistske normal people will listen you.if you are interesting person
Haha my first day in U.k i asked the salesperson how much is the eggplant??? Salesperson: sorry mate what's that????? ME: Google type search eggplant translate in British " Aubergine " 😅
