My native language is Spanish, and once another person, also a Spanish speaker, in an interview told me that my English is not good because I speak slowly or because I did not understand what he was saying to me. I don't really speak slow, but he spoke very fast in both languages, English and Spanish! So fast that I don't understand how it communicates with the world. And I understood that speaking fast does not mean speaking well in any language. Do you have a video dedicated to those people who believe that speaking very fast means speaking well? If you don't have the video, you could make it.

I wouldn't apologize for my English. I do a little bit for it every day since years, and I don't have to. I do it for myself, because it opens access to sources of knowledge from all over the world. To be honest: If a person asks me about the way to the next metro station or something like that in English, I'll try my best, but if this person has the strange idea to judge my English, I would say: So, you should better learn *my language* ! 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, sometimes I did the same thing. Here, near of my home, there is an hostal for pelegrins who are going to Santiago. One day I met a girl from Corea that she was lost in the way and she was crying because her friends had left her alone and she didn't know which was the right way, because she was in a path that split in two differents ways. Using my "advanced" english I tried to aid the girl and she went very happy by the right way giving thanks to me, and I got very proud because I had been useful to the girl. However, another day I met a man asking for the hostal of pelegrins, I tried to aid him, but when the man realized that I was able to link two words in english, he started speaking very fast, and I didn`t understand anything. I asked the man to speak slowly, please, in order to could aid him, but the man continued speaking very fast. In this moment, I hesitated, and I told him to try to learn a bit of spanish, or basque, if he wanted to be understood and to reach Santiago.

Spanish speakers are more tolerant than English speakers. We understand that the person who makes an effort to learn our language is making a great effort to learn our language and we appreciate that.But I have seen cases in which even having perfect grammar, people have discrimination, it is not a case of communication, it is a case of another type. That must be understood.

I never apologize for my English, but i do apologize in fact when I see that the person with whom I talking is hard to listen me and then I apologize - for his inconvenience (and not for my English). This is, I believe, called courtesy.

I wish every English speaker, whether they're native or not, spoke like you, Christian. You're clear, comprehensible even w/o the subtitles and I love it. I'm non-native, I've learnt the lg and a I think you're a great example of how English should be taught. BTW, like 10-15 yrs I used to say 'sorry for my English' although everyone understood me. Esp. during my holiday stay in GB (Newcastle and neighbouring towns)

Nice vid Christian. I' m with you, as a language teacher myself. The A1-C2 ranking is just used to make money. They did some research on the level of native Dutch speakers to find out what their 'level' of Dutch is. Only 5% are at C2 in their native language, 10% C1. I reckon that when you do similar research on other languages, the outcome will be the same. For fun, I sometimes do the onliine language level tests, and I never go beyond B2. It's just another money spinning exercise to get people to buy a course. Even a mate of mine, who writes ELT books, never goes higher than C1....
