Christian, I'm sixty years old. I have taken several English courses throughout my life, here in Brazil. I recently decided to go back to studying English, without leaving home, of course. After visiting many websites, I found The Canguro English. Since then I have watched many of your videos. In each of them I learned something new. It's not just language learning, it's a map that guides you to a better place. You are the best English teacher I have ever met! Thank you!!

Dear Christian... I'm Mexican, I love the way you're. I haven't met a teacher with the "transparency" that you have. You're very natural, whithout poses. I really enjoy when you laugh, I do it too at the same time. I can't tell you nothing else but thank you for being born. I admire you, I appreciate your time and I love you too. God bless you! 🇲🇽💕 🇦🇺

Your way of teaching and being appreciated by thousands of students is the answer to everything. Changing your mind about your beliefs is a sign of maturity and intellectual growth, Christian. For me, you're a great teacher.

Christian, this is THE learning process : the more things you learn, the more things you discover that you ignore...

The best teacher of English and not only English ever. It's you, Christian

10:48 I don't know How to end the video LOOOOOOOL YOU'RE the BEST!

Hi Christian I'm 94 years old and Im really proud of you because you're the best teacher in our planet keep it up bro lets go

I absolutely agree with you Christian! Hope you're better, take care!

I am 65; Christian, you are the best english teacher in the world.

A lot of Brasilians people here. I've learned English here at home, and have used the Canguro videos to practice my listening.

I love one comment from this video: "It's not just language learning, it's a map that guides you to a better place." I can't agree more. You are really the best English teacher I have ever met! Thank Christian!!!

Hi Chris.... only the best and smartest people recognise the limit of their knowledge... To me your videos are just amazing... the genuine empathy that you always show has no match.... Your videos are a continuous source of inspiration....

Hi Christian, I'm Maria, I live in Chester and I have an English class near my house in the Unity Centre Esol. This is not bad however, I need less theory and more practice. Sometimes the classes are boring because I would like the teacher to be more vibrant, and give motivation. You are fascinated by every video. I don't need a Certificate, I need to understand and speak. It is so difficult for me because I never studied English before came here and I am 66 years old. Thank you for your help.

Christian, this a good point of view when you all time discover something new despite your age. This that kind of character that I will be always appreciate. Because only when you catch yourself that I know everything that means that you are stack.

Si Cristian eres un exelente maestro, yo sé que estudias español también y yo tengo ocho meses estudiando inglés y me cuesta tengo 51 años vivo en Venezuela, cuando tú hablas inglés me parece qué usas un vocabulario y una velocidad que puedo entender en un 95/100 soy piloto y estoy buscando un inglés al menos B2 con fluides, te felicito siempre aprecio tus vídeos. Buen hombre.

I never forget the first time I was watched you're material, you're was explained the phrases verbs and for first time I can understand these topic clearly than anyone else tryed to explain me before. Since now, for me, you're an awesome English teacher on social media. Thanks teacher and I hope like you this times finished soon. And sorry for my English but I'm learning.

Hi Christian. I love you too. I literally never get bored whenever I watch your videos. There is something magical in the way you present things and especially in the way you end your videos.

I have been studying every single day in order to achieve the fluency. I hope I can get it and someday be able to teach someone else. Thanks,teacher!! You rock

WE LOVE YOU CHRISTIAN...!!!!😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Oh Great l discovered one of the most distinctive KZfaqrs 👍

We Love you too, Christian ! Thanks for all!!

I'm gonna give you the best advice you'll ever recive when it comes to teaching: Do your best (of course, we must always do our best) and then put everything in God's hands... Thank you for sharing your experience!! You're wiser than others because you admit you Know nothing!

Young man, you are right. The only way you can learn how to teach is teaching, not reading thick books, not listening to those who can't teach and therefore teach teachers. By the way, I have been teaching for 35 years, not only, but also English as a second language. Keep going.

Gosh, it's so true! My english had improve a lot with all these videos on youtube about pronunciation, connected speech, IPA, specific vocabulary, most common phrasal verbs and all that stuff. But I really feel like I plateau even when I try to study daily new words and concepts of the language that I didn't know and the reason is that I really don't have someone to practice with. Daily I try to build this "think in english" habit and also I rig up a monologue walking around and imaging I'm presenting to someone else talking alone at my house, although I still hesitate when I want to speak and it's because I don't have anyone else to socialize, to compete, to converse. I just look at my phone like an idiot and think "maybe I'm not using this technology wisely, there must be someway, some digital place to socialize TALKING with native people or good english speakers" but how do I know? If you know, please tell me haha. Some app, forum, whatsapp group, whatever! I'll be happy to join! I'm from Colombia, btw.

A lovely insight Christian, your honesty and openness about yourself and English teaching and learning is a joy. My students here in Madrid all tell me that they have never been taught pronunciation as part of their ongoing learning process. They learned the basic "rules" of pronunciation and some of the many exceptions to the rules, but in the end they speak with many pronunciation errors that can be fixed quite easily with a bit more focus and practice. I always say to them that it's not really about "getting rid of the Spanish accent in their English", rather it's about speaking more clearly so others can understand them better. Likewise, they will also understand others better themselves. The challenge of accents comes when, as non-native speakers, they have to listen to native speakers who have strong regional accents who far too often make little or no attempt to speak more clearly and slowly when speaking with non-native speakers.

Hi Christian . I'm from Argentina. I'm 69. I love your way of teaching. Thank you.

Wow, this was a realy honest announcement about yourselt. I think I understand your point, things are changing and opinions are too, but sometimes unconvenience or strange to comprehend this process. I believe if you are true and honest (and you are, I feel) this changing is a real developing and getting more wisdom. Thanks for sharing, it taught me to beeing brave. Good luck on the journey forward!

Christian, my five cents on directions in a business environment. There are many applications, probably not in a town, but directions are used in documents, images, etc. E.g. top right corner; bottom left line, next to the logo; famous "bottom line"; second tab, last tab in the spreadsheet; hover over the image; etc. Don't beat yourself up. You are just great! The activity probably caused that the students lose fear for the language. Sincerely, Adriana.

As I remember, it is my first comment under your video. I understand that probably, you don't read the comments, but I want to share it anyway. One of the most important elements of perception a language in real life (and again, it's about the social side of it) is authenticity, the sincerity. When you feel that you hear an alive, real person, without masks as possible. That's why this video especially stands out for me. It doesn't mean that your other videos have a lack of sincerity, but in this one you allow yourself more - the right to be vulnerable. And in this case, your language is getting closer to me, getting more understandable, because you are, as a person, getting closer and more understandable.

I think your love for linguistic makes us animated in learning English!

Christian, Hi! Today I spoke with my friend in English it was our first experience we had never told before by using foreign language. She said that I have British accent. I replied that I have a British father. I watch you a lot. Thank you!

You are very sincer and different than other teachers. Born to be a teacher, who cares about the students and understands that they are human beings, not just a job. I wish you everything best. I don't you personally, but i'm sure you are very good person

Hi Christian, you are an amazing teacher. I loved your speech about ignorance because as an Italian teacher I've always felt the exact same way, I love my job but every day I feel like I have many things to improve and to learn and I often feel very ignorant. In the education field teachers always want to appear flawless and secure and they never say they want to improve. Your videos are inspirational, full of positivity and top quality teachings. Thank you for being real:)!

Hi Cristian. I'm from Argentina. We all love U 2. You are much more than a teacher, U are our best friend.

My dear teacher Christian!! Calm down! Your reflexion about "not totaly feeling satisfied with everything you've done in the past" is normal in all professions. When you speak wiht a writer (for exemple) he/she always said that he/she is not satisfied with his/her first published books. And actually for us are fantastics books. I am a teacher for economics and when I see my old classes few years ago I am surprised that the students did not leave the classes at that time. The most important thing, as you say in this phantastic video is that all people should improve in their proffesion. I'll see you in the next video Christian!

hi Christian ! i am from viet nam and i am 44 years old.i am watching many websites about english but since i found the canguro English i am feeling interesting and i learned manything from your video.Your voice is warm and easy understand.You are the best English teacher i have ever met.Tks so much

Hang in there Christian, you are doing a grand job. We all have self doubt and make mistakes. Life wouldn't/ couldn't survive without mistakes. If a person lives to be 100 they still know very little. I have learned so much of my own language by watching your videos and applying it to the way I learn my target languages. So don't doubt yourself . Keep calm and Teach !

Dear Christian, I'm an old French woman (60 old years). I watch often your video and it's always a pleasure for me and I learn a lot. I'm teacher too. I teach to blind people how to use their PC (Word, Excel, Internet, etc.). I would like tell you that all you tell in this video is true and allow me to add that, we have to take account social aspect, but we don't must forget anymore the individual aspect. That to tell you yes, thanks all the trainees to learn us, poor teacher, how always evolve. I'm not sure that my English is very correct, but I think that you could understand the deep of my though. I hope you have recover you health after Corona. See you

“ I know that I don’t know” you’re the best English teacher ever (I watched your video on the order of the adjectives and I wanna to point out BEST, so I put it for first). Continue on your road Christian!!!! Thank you for your videos

Christian, I'am a high teacher of Mechanical engineering, I agree with your ideas, even we are teachers, we're always feeling we're unknowing many things, that we must mastering since some time.

Christian, you are the best and the most positive Teacher in the World!!

The social aspect is the key. Couldn't agree more Christian! And it's something we're all craving for now more than ever...

Christian, excuse me if my english is not perfect but i would like to thank you about your lessons and your sense of humour. Your pronunciation is perfect for learner. Gon on like this, French people follow and listen to you . See you soon

These moments are fantastic. I mean this when somebody is very sincere in telling his feels about what he doing right now and he knows his own feels. That's what more and more people should behave. Thanks again, Christian! :)

Лайк не глядя, спасибо Кристиан за понятную английскую речь. Ю ар уан ов зэ бест инглиш тича😉

Christian,　I was the way after 10 years of teaching that INPUT and C.I. was crucial to SLA, but i still don't know about the role of OUTPUT......I totally agree with you, luckily i work with a Ukrainian Teacher who is almost faultless in English, and has joined our team of US/ UK/ Ozzie/Candian teachers....she is the inspiration for me..How did she do it! - She is 30 years old and started learning as a teenager....but now she her English levele is way above my Japanese level. Great Video, insightful, thoughtful and human. Great stuff Christian!

Hi Christian, I still can't speak English fluently but I want to tell you that today I understood all the explanation you gave. I made a lot of progress with your classes. Thank you very much and good that you have recovered from the virus.

Reminds me of the saying, 'When one teaches, two learn.' It's the only thing that keeps me going in the face of so much certainty peddled as this theory and that. It requires strength to face the expectations and demands of the market place, which falters in me given the conditioned responses to authority. It' s a call to creativity, to be fully individual, integral to community. This is not the message we get in the din of the market. It is our shared humanity that connects us, this dark terrain that all maps fall short of. And this is the courage to teach. Cheers, mate. You nurture a beautiful world.

I think the main thing for foreigners is to understand how we should string sentences that English speakers understand what we really want to say.

Social aspect has always been a kinda privilege not everyone actually realize...but it shouldn't also be such an obstacle for many other people to not try to improve their learning skills their WAY...

Nice to see that you are back.

You are an amazing teacher, in my sincere opinion. And I think you are conscious about how small and unprepared we could be sometimes. I believe you found the reason why we have to keep doing our best all the time, it is because we are unperfect! Keep going with the good work.

Talking about "the depth of your ignorance" is a wonderfully brave thing to do becasue it makes you vulnerable, but also very loveable, as we all have immense depths of ignorance. Seaching this phrase online I found this wonderful quote, which I'm trying to get my head around: "The mark of your ignorance is the depth of your belief in injustice and tragedy. What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the Master calls the butterfly." Richard Bach Can somebody help me understand that quote a little better? I feel a bit ignorant!

I enjoyed and agreed with most of this video as an ESL teach, except for the beginning, asking/giving directions is important. What if you need to find a bathroom or help someone find a bathroom and there's a sense of urgency? I'm going to place it highly due to the social aspect of not wanting to soil one's self in public/professional environment and the social cost of doing so. So hopefully you're realizing this and you change your mind about that class being a waste of time.

Christian, you are a good teacher 😀😀 This video is about Christian's self-reflection how to teach 😀😀 Greetings from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, the UK

In fact, this theme about speaking like a native is really interesting. For me, it always was a very important topic before watching your videos, and then, in the past, when you gave your point of view I thought that it was interesting and I got what you was trying to explain, but from my point of view, I always liked to pursuit this native accent (of course I'm still trying). In my opinion it is like assuming a different personality, acting as a character... sometimes we want to be a different person, to be immersed in a different culture and reality, maybe to run away from ourselves. I'm not saying that it should be the main target, because it is just a small part of language learning process.

An excellent teacher. A great human being. Our beloved motivator. Humble and transparent. May God continually bless you and your family. We have already been blessed by your generosity. Whenever you speak, your words akways sound crystal clear. Your heart? Bigger than your body. Very appreciated.

I loved it , teacher. You are the best.

You’re the best teacher I’ve ever seen! Congrats, guy!

Very candid & I totally agree... We never stop learning even as teachers.

Sir, you're sincere to the core about teaching English as well as about sharing your perceptions on life..great 👍👍God Bless all your efforts 🙏

Christian, You are the best teacher I know. You are absolutely right. I would like to share one great though. Jenius is one percent of talent and 99 percent of hard work.

You are awesome!

Good to see you teacher, have a great day!!!!

We love you too teacher❤️ God bless you and your family, hugs from Brazil 🙌🇧🇷 peace.

You are so spontaneous! You're rock! Take care.

This is a very useful video, indeed. I also think a lot about the ways of teaching English. I read relevant literature, attend webinars, watch videos. I work hard preparing for my lessons. Sometimes it takes me several hours to get ready for my online classes. I try and try and very often feel that I'm not good enough and need to learn more. I want my students communicate in a foreign language and when I fail I fall apart...

Hello Christian. Thanks for those reflections. English language is a new wolrd, change your mind. I heard once : Who known two languages will have two souls

Glad to see you teacher in good health !!!

Christian, I agree with you. You are a thinker in teaching English.

You are the super positive man I have ever known .Thank you for your mission ! Have a great health and happiness!

Welcome back. Good you got well again. Really missing your conversations as they are very insightful.

Thank you! It was so teachable :) Best regards to you! Take care!

We love you too, Christian.

You're the best teacher in the world. Thanks.

Oh my God.....Christian....I don't know eithe..r wow....I just can feel,....what really important thing u wanna deliver to us....this is huge.....love.....authentic mind and willingness....I really like this time video...best!!! Whatever no matter this is gold combination with diamond!!!!!!! I also feel I am lucky that I stay in Australia.

I really love the way you laugh!

Today We got a New vídeo released by Christian... Best Day of the week! 👏👏👏

Christian you should make a video about how to keep motivated after a big loss, I'm going through it, right now. Please

Hi, Christian, I've been watching your videos for quite a while, and I believe this is the moment where you've come to grips with a problem of all language teaching/learning approaches. In my opinion, all successful language teachers manage to build-up an enjoyable community in the first place; some of them do it consciously and some - intuitively. The second part of the truth is CI (Comprehensible Input): whenever CI takes place, language acquisition happens. The third and the last prerequisite for a language input to be natural and effortless is a context as a language, in my opinion, is overwhelmingly dependent on a context. Now, allow me to say this: with your success, you owe to all these three things. And I nearly forgot to tell the most crucial thing in favor of the social aspect, and that Thing is Love. Thank you for your love to people you teach, Christian.

we love you too, Christian!

Thanks again, Christian! A few days ago I was precisely talking about that with a friend of mine :) The more I know, the more I realize how little I know LOL. Greetings from Cádiz! Looking forward to that pizza!

Hi Christian, probably you are the best English teacher in the world! Thank you!

i love your honesty. that´s great.jajjaja

Chris, I love your laugh. You spread a lot of joy

Christian you are a big philosopher! This channel is the best! Thank you very much!

Your reflections are as important as your English lessons are. They help us learn, reflect and feel. Big love, Christian, from Argentina. 🍻✌

Cool!

Great video ;) and glad to see you are still here! It popped into my head a few days ago that I really needed to check to see if you had gotten better after your illness!

I see honesty in you. I hope a good life to you

You're great, Christian! Thank you!

You are a reflexive, humble and funny teacher! Congratulations from Brazil!

Love it

Simply, thanks. Your honesty tells us how great teacher you are.

Good to see you!

Great story! Thank you for sharing! It really made me think.

You're my HERO Christian! Thank you for these videos!

Hi Christian, first of all I'd to say how much I enjoy your class. Congrats for be a spectacular teacher. Learning a new language is the passion of my life. I can speak português, English and Spanish. Now I'm studing Japanese and teachers like you, just give more and more reasons to continue this jorney. Thanks you a lot.

Thanks!

Tuesday - the best day of the week)))! Great)!
