another amazing video , please let me share my own personal experience , my brother has master in English teaching and he always talks about my mistakes , I didn't have self-confidence at all for talking until finally I was forced to have a conversation with my spouse for the first time , she is American and I'm Iranian , after our conversion she said me your English is not perfect but it's completely understandable and it's enough for me . the only purpose of the language is communication not learning British or American accent

The main goal of any language is to be understood, not to sound fancy. I see many people selling courses “to sound like a native” and that’s really bad, because it makes people think they’re not speaking properly. English isn’t my first language and I don’t care much if I’m writing it wrong or right, as long as people get what I’m trying to say!

"There is nothing cool or authentic about making communication difficult for other people." Amen!

I am a native Italian speaker, and English is my second language, which I love and have never stopped practicing for 40 years. It really does have a very simple grammatical structure, as the teacher in the video claims. Listening to his every speech, always so easy and clear, does not require the slightest effort. Yes, okay, he's a teacher, he must communicates paused and slowly, he speaks in a basic way using elementary vocabulary, i.e. no phrasal verbs, has perfect Oxford school pronunciation, free of accents and shortcuts that make comprehension less immediate. Quite differently, listening to a Londoner, who has a pronounced quick and robotic up-and-down pattern full of shortcuts, cool & idiomatic & dialectal ways of saying, acronyms, etc., requires “a lot of phisical and mental effort”, a non stop practicing: I can usually understand 50 percent of his "broken english", I cannot risk taking even 50 percent. Moreover, I can't stand the recent fashion, imposed by a district of London, the world's most multi-ethnic city, of changing certain grammatical rules of this beloved language, such as the conjugation of verbs in the present tense and the removal of the 'S'/ES in the third person. One more obstacle to understanding. However, I appreciate this man's approach to teaching. I thank him🙏

Thank you, Christian! If we can understand you, than we can communicate in english. We lack for confidence, but you give it to us!

You're a great teacher and a great person. Thank you for your efforts to teach us. From Pisa with respect.

I was always worried about the pronunciation but now I now that the important thing is Comunication!!! "YOUR ACCENT IS YOUR IDENTITY AND THIS IS BEAUTIFUL"!!! WONDERFUL!!!

I discovered why you don't have millions of subscriptions. Your videos are for valuable people and there aren't too many of them online. ;) I love your videos and with each one I understand more and more what you are saying to me. You are amazing! Your Grandmother is certainly proud of you! Be here more often.

I too wanted to change my accent until I realized it’s my identity I wanted to change but for who and for what? Be proud of who you are and be proud of where you’re from. Most English native speakers aren’t even speaking English properly let along another language. 😂

You are a great and true human!! For sharing your knowledge and give to us self confidence! Thank you Christin!! (I'm from Brazil and I've already watched all your videos!! For me you are the best teacher I have ever seen!!)

I´ve assigned an exercise from one of your videos (What is Freedom?). I´m a retired LIterature ( Brazilian, Portuguese, English, American) and I still have some students, EL. I choose two American two Canadian and one British teacher for being a target of listening and pronunciation. I send them the link of your video. Work with them to get the sentences from it. Read, listen and practice until they are learning to follow you in a near future. It´s very pleasant active for them and for me, considering they are young adults. We all learn. I tell them, I am no longer just a teacher , I am the bridge for you guys reach success and have Christian as your REAL teacher. Sounds good to you?😊

You are the best teacher!!! Thanks for your lessons!

I love your overall message, especially the first one about the difference between identity and pronunciation. I've spent years trying to adapt to either British or American standard pronunciation. As an English teacher myself I don't consider this not that relevant anymore. The most important thing is to be able to communicate fluently and ,at large, better if you do so correctly. Of course, you may opt for British, American or whatever other variety but these days it is given far too much importance and this builds up a whole lot of unnecessary anxieties. Peer group pressure makes us vulnerable for supposedly not being at the expected level of proficiency. But who is this up to to decide what is expected? This should be in our hands and go beyond other people's pressure that is often the product of money-making based incentives. As far as my own language teaching is concerned, I consider the crucial aspects of phonetics the following four: good pronunciation of the phonemes, the right syllable stress, intonation and word linking. When you put the four pieces together properly, you achieve a considerable outcome no matter what certificate you are aiming at or if you stick to learning for fun which should always be our main motivation.

Magnificent! As always, thanks a lot!

Love your way of teaching. Thank you, Christian

I love how you explain all the things in the video. Thank you.

Oh my goodness this video is gold is amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉thank 🎉🎉

Thank you very much sir, you're making a revolution in how to teach English efficiently. Love and respect from a learner in Haiti

Thanks, Christian! Brilliant motivating video! And I can't agree more with every idea about the main personal goal of any communicator and the main purpose of any language (that - unsurprisingly - turn up to be the same), that you discuss in this video. The trap of having ideas of everyday things is our ullusion that we know everything about them. But there is always room for another perspective on the same thing that can make our understanding of it better. There are subtle connections between things that we sometimes do not perceive as having any connection, like the ideas of studetnt, communicator and language discussed in this video. But looking at them through the filter of goal makes the connection between them so evident and so indisputable. Thank you for your sharp mind an your desire to share your insights with us! All the best to you and your channel, Christian! BIG 👍

Brile! Fakte kiel cxiam. Koran dankon!💚

Hi! Christian, I just find you out on the internet and its amazing how I can understand you perfectely. The way you speak is easy for us non american persons. The problem is to understand a native american speaking fast. Thank you for give me hope,😊

I realy enjoy your classes, thanks

Amazing original thoughts and learnings. Never thought like that about half of the subjects.

I am starting to see your content and my first thought is to appreciate that you keep a slow pace along all the video time to help us to understand every single word. Thanks a lot

Speaking English in ~~rhythm~~ is so hard Thank you for showing us a great way to get into the groove of speaking! The flashing red dot starting at 5:20 was very helpful!

Thanks a lot teacher for the content 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

MANY THANKS!!!

"My" Dear and "Unknowing" Christian. ONE MILLION OF THANKS 😊. This video, the content, the ethical approach, and the social reflection ARE JUST AMAZING and incredible useful. Gracias. Muchas gracias. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤.

Some interesting points, this chap has. Definetely worth watching, if you’re into learning languages in general, and particularly interested in improving your communicating skills in English.

Your pronunciation is really perfect. When a hear you speaking, looks like I´m hearing my first language (brazilian portuguese). Congratulations (and thank you)! You are helping many people to see and understand this process in a differente way.

This is so true!

Thank you so much for this class. You really healed me and I will reply this video

Smart explication thanks canguroenglish

amazing person! You're so inspiring!

What's this Man!!!!!! I haven't seen a teacher like you in my whole life.. He is not sharing knowledge and information..... Emotions ❤ too🥰🥰🥰❤️

Wow, excellent information! I’m an English teacher and I’m always looking to become a better teacher. Your videos help me. I totally agree with everything you touch on here. Learners - do not aspire to sound like a native, your version of English is so much more beautiful and interesting 🤩 The other thing is when non-natives take shortcuts, like you mentioned, it’s really hard to understand. Like one-word answers “yeah”, “nah” - I struggle to understand a mumble. I always suggest to my students that speaking slower and with better articulation is far more effective and efficient than trying to sound like a native! Plus, I’m learning French and definitely do not want to sound like a French native, I’ll be keeping my weird accent forever 😊

Hello my teacher❤ Best regards from Iran I enjoye the class and thank you.

Thanks a lot. Realy very usefull videos

Oh hallelujah you are talking about the rhythm of English!!!! This is something I am sooooo stressing in my classes with SE Asian students. It makes SUCH a difference in how natural they sound. (also getting them to put the final consonants on words. This so SO hard for them as their own language 'swallows' final letters in a variety of ways that are just as hard for me to do as for them not to :)

With Christian, every day I listen his clases, and I release how much Ennglish and Spanish are related.

Very, very, very interesting. Thanks you.

Omg you are a Sensei 9th dan. Superb analyses of the English structure.This us the first time that I see/hear that. Thanks a million

You're great thank you!
