At this moment, I'm also trying to learn Romanian, that is a Romance Language as Portuguese. I know I make a lot of mistakes in English, but I really love learn different language. BBC helps me so much. Thank you!

Hello there. A new subscriber here. Portuguese is my mother tongue and my goal is to master English. I have been learning for quite some time. I listen to BBC 6 minutes every single day now. You are performing a great job. I can see my improvements and progress. Thank you very much.

I had been hurdling in writing essay and speaking eloquently previous months.However bbc is my motivation and inspiration in learning English. I religiously listening the bbc almost everyday. I am immensely surprised that my speaking and writing skills absolutely improving...I am thankful and grateful with this videos. Indeed a quintessential videos to watch.I will be a loyal steadfast listener because I am profoundly thankful for the knowledge they imparted to all viewers

"It increases our brainpower; in other words, it slows down the brain's decline with age!" Thanks for your useful information because it's not different from a source of motivation to take to learning other languages.

I'm not native speaker english is my 2nd language actually.to be honest i couldn't even say anything in english before although i have learned all grammar structures but couldn't speak fluently. But now thanks to Bbc learning English 🥰🥰 i.m fluent in english i can easily explain my idea or thoughts in English through listening your podcasts. Thanks again. Keep moving 🤩🤗

3:08 , please let me comment on the most frequent 1000 words theory. I am a government interpreter for mandarin language(which is my 4th foreign language), and come across various situations where the words are new to me, even though, I have mastered at least 5000 words. When I am with my french friends they do not always use the frequent 1000 words, moreover, in case of deep conversations we tend to use rare vocabulary. The simple things we see every day are not included in these 1000 words, thus we may often not be able to communicate proficiently. According to all these years of observation, I would suggest the learners to definitely learn the 1000 frequent words, however, they should not forget to practice every single day. For example, reading news papers, watching videos on youtube, and meeting native speakers of the target language are some of the many ways they can train their minds to start thinking in a foreign language.

Learning language is not easy but it is interesting to learn new language and it is challenging too. I have also taken this challenge and learning English by BBC classes. Thanks for your help.

I can speak Russian and english.and I speak turkish a bit .my mother language is turkmen.it is so awesome feeling to speak know another language. When you start to learn new language it might be change your life and you can travel all over the world and make friends .if you knew another language you can work in foreign company or study in abroad .I really recommend you to learn another .

Hi from Russia!I’ve been studied English for two years.I’m tenacious,but it takes a lot of guts.

It's my first contact with you and I am very happy to listen to the native speakers. I believe that your lessons will help me to improve my listening and speaking skills. Thank you very much indeed! I'm in!

BBC learning English is not just to learn English but it also gives us information about the topic, great work,thank you ☺️

I live in Taipe, and I've subscribed BBC six minutes for many months. I think the videos are smashing. And all the topics are fabulous. Thanks a million.

I am planning to appear in IELTS EXAM, these videos are helping a lot in improving my listening part.

When learning a new language; DON'T GIVE UP. Practice makes perfect!! But you must include "study" ...understand how the word is used. The different uses of the word.

Actually, the first thing I would consider before learning a new language is that I need to think whether it is necessary to me future. Most of the time, many people learn a new language because they want to live, study and work over there. Over the past few years, many of my friends had a craving with learning Japanese because they love the culture, tradition, want to live there in the future. However, they can't speak exceedingly well because of their mother language. The way I see things, if you want to learn a new language, you must let yourself get engaged in it, making it as your "weapon".

Thanks, BBC My note when listening Learning a new language is a new year resolution of 1 in 5 Britains. Having a good command of a language is a good thing because it can bring us many benefits such as communicating with foreigners or understanding signs and notices when traveling. Much scientific research has proven that being bilingual can help to boost our brain power. However, learning a new language is hard it can take a person many years to be fluent in speaking it. The secret to reaching proficiency in a language is focusing on high-frequency vocabulary which often shows up in conversational language. For example, we need 800 high-frequency words to be fluent in English.

I starts to listen bbc 6mint learning English in two days,it helps me a lots to understand English movies without subtitles and now i can get what the native speaker in the movie spokes,may be soon i can learn more their conversation

Hey ! thank you for these videos, they help me a lot with improving my english. I´ve been studying english for 3 years and I realized the best way of learning english is , have a basic knowledge of english, and talking with native speakers because it is not the same as in the books in english, so , you need to get used to listen to the native speakers or watching series or even this type of videos !

As a matter of fact then english was my hateful language but now happy to say english is my favorite language .i also have been learning english for 6 months 😍from the day i thought to learning english until now i have sacrificed everything for learning english.❤️even though it is not easy to learn rapidly i'm learning step by step .BBC learning english you are such a opportunity for all of english learners

Hi I'm from Somalia i was study Bbc learning English and have respectfull for BBC learning English

great video! i hope speak fluently english in a few years. I can read the lenguaje and write it but i can't speak fluently, is a big effort that i need to put to say a large sentence. my purpose is going to put an english message in each video that i watch. Greetings to all those who are learning english :)

*Lemma-is the simplest form or base form of a word a the inflection here refers to how the word is changed according to its use in a sentence*

I love listening to BBC 6 minute English. I can't hold my concentration for too long. So I consider these videos are very useful.

I'm Japanese. I think that learn Japanese is very struggle for foreign peoples. So I appreciate for your leaning Japanese like this difficult language. I'm studying English but It's hard because Gamer is completely different to Japanese and pronunciation is hard for me. So when I want to stop leaning English,I try to remember this video.

I know that most of people who fluent in English language are local people but every one learn English very well can be more fluent than local people. Try to learn to be the best.

Practice: My aim this year is to master the English language. I'm not sure if I'm already fluent in English. Learning low-frequency words could be a waste of time. We should not squander any opportunity to learn inflections of lemmas.

Thank you so much From Bangladesh 🇧🇩 🇧🇩🇧🇩

its undeniable the fact that this channel is incredibly useful, especially for those who is a non-native speaker like me. Its a good way to practice listening too because the pronunciation of the speakers is so great and clear, i could hear 90% of them without difficulty. And this is the main reason why im still listening to this video after 2 years since it was released ^^

Greetings from Czech, really didn't expect Neil speaking Czech

Lemma is like a fixed part of some word. With a lemma, after making inflections a word can be changed into many new ones.

Sir, I am pronab bhakta. I am from Bangladesh. I have a question,after all i have something to know, when we use "that, the,and this" instead of this, in reported speech. I hope you will discuss it as soon as possible.

Hello , you have to study hard and manage to overcome the difficulties and wait to achieve to what you want to be Staying, thanks all

Hello, dear friends! This is not the first time I'm surprised to see that in English the word "tongue" is used as "language". I was always sure that these words have different meanings. Help me please to find out completely in this question. The thing is that in my native Russian the word "tongue" is used in both senses, and the word "language" is just absent. I thank you in advance, friends! Greetings from Moscow!

Thanks for this conversation )

*If you want to learn English language.* *You should listen so much.*

I've started learning German recently i want to master it beside French and English knowing that arabic is my mother tongue

To be honest i learn in different way. Sometimes i try to speak with people for improving my English. But when i feel bad or something i try to read and tell stories in English. I've heard that it's usefulethod to improve any languages. Speaking will improve with it. In my opinion vocabulary and grammar are important to speak English perfectly like a native. Thanks BBC🙂
