Listening to your English, I thought you were born and raised in the u.s. where I live. You sound like a native speaker. Good job!

5:18 repetitive listening - joe rogan, tim ferris 8:49 switched a life to English 15:48 become comprehensible - use the lingq that import all subtitles

*3 Key Strategies:* _Repetitive Listening:_ The speaker emphasizes the importance of repetitive listening, stating that it constituted a significant portion of his learning strategy. He would repeatedly listen to podcasts, watch movies, and TV shows in English, exposing himself to the language's nuances over time. _Immersion:_ The speaker recounts a period when he lived in Switzerland and decided to immerse himself fully in English. He switched his daily activities, including internet browsing and social interactions, to English, even changing the language settings on his devices. This immersion allowed him to simulate living in an English-speaking environment. _Comprehensible Input:_ The speaker acknowledges a flaw in his approach, realizing the importance of comprehensible input for effective language learning. He suggests using tools like LingQ, which provide assisted reading of subtitles or transcripts, to enhance understanding before engaging with English media, thus optimizing the learning process.

My girlfriend did that same thing, and she is a native Portuguese speaker, she is now at a native English speaker level, she is now an English teacher, she is amazing and she offers online courses.

1) repetitive listening - Podcast/Videos - listening “million times” 2) switch your environment in your target language (switch computer etc in your target language) 3) comprehensive input - idially a sentence should have one unknown word using for example linqQ Great stuff and very helpful! Thanks 👍

Wow! Your English fascinate me a lot. It is accent-free and has native-sense. You can be a role model for anyone who has passion to learn languages. At first I have thought you're a native American or have something related to the US. This video pushed my motivation for language learning 😊

Surrounding yourself with English material is really good point you've mentioned in the video. Thinking and having thoughts in English instead of a native language helps a lot.

I live in the USA and your English sounds perfect.

You have a gift and thank you for sharing it with us😊

Okay that Huberman-like thumbnail really worked

This video is very emotional and the way you talk about it is super good

Thank you for the great tips!

Imitation technique is really helpful too, improves your pronunciation and accent massively

Mr... Thank you so much for your lessons. "I´m gonna watch all your videos over and over and over again until I completly learn english. You inspired to me a lot. btw I was studying English in the United States but now I have to do it by my own and your chanel is all I needed. I really appreciate it. Greetings from Colombia. :)

I just can't believe you're not a native! Your English is just so fluent and good

keep up the good work your accent is great and you have given me hope to reach an advanced level of english.

Hi, i'm from Indonesia, your story of wasting seven years in school learning English makes me, too, not speak the language. Even if you're not a native English speaker, I really appreciate how simple and easy it is for me to understand you. I would therefore follow your strategy. Good job !🙂

Thank you. You will be my motivation to lerning english.

Wow, eres muy inteligente hombre, además te expresas muy bien y toooodo lo que nos compartes acá es muy valioso y real.

Your English is very clear and fluent.The problem is nobody who English is first language speaks like you.If everybody speak like you there would be no problem to understand them but they don't really care and they swallow most of words and sounds.

I have subscribed your channel today dated 5.2.2024 and time 07:36 AM (Indian Time Region). God Bless You forever because no one talk like you talk! Hope one day you will achieve your Red diamond button from KZfaq channel soon! 💐 Love your Work from India!

Thank you. I will let my students know about your tips. I agree 100 %.

Keep up the good work,mate!

I’m agree with you, the repetition is a mother of learning)

Hi, i'm from Indonesia, your story of wasting seven years in school learning English makes me, too, not speak the language. Even if you're not a native English speaker, I really appreciate how simple and easy it is for me to understand you. I would therefore follow your strategy. Good job !

You are a really hard-worker! Thank you for a kind of inspiration! I wish you luck with the languages that you are presently learning!

I’ve watched your other videos and thought you were a native english speaker already 😂 very impressive!

Ok .. this is the only video on the whole KZfaq that said it all in a short truthful way.. merci beaucoup pour l'honnêteté

Wow, you are a handsome, super role model for English learners. Thank you for sharing your true story. I also learned English a long time ago at school and still have trouble learning it at a high level.

Shadowing is the Best way to understand everything

This were some great strategies to lear any language .i will follow your advices and when l became like a native english speaker i will come back and tell all the world how useful your advies are .thank you for sharing with us your valuable experience and l wish all the best and success for you from Algeria this message

Perfect pronunciation✌️

awesome ! Learning a Language takes time and courage and self commitment and thats how i recommend whoever wants to learn English or a new Language. keep it up 👍👍

haha, same here. I studied english in School with the absolutely same result. Your pronunciation now though is perfect for my ear! Excellent job! My case to really start improving my english was moving to a foreign country. When you have no choice to use your native language you progress very fast. Also speaking a lot at work works the same way as repetitive listening and more natural. It comes easy when it needs.

Yeah I agree with a lot them. Good job my friend

Thank you for sharing your experience. You sound really impressive for someone not living in US

Thanks for the advice, I believe you are a sincere person

Crazy man ! i can't believe 🔥🔥

I love listening to your podcast. You speak fluently and gently. I could totally catch up your flow. BTW, I am a Chinese and learning English as my second fluent language recently.Glad to meet you here.

This is a very informative video, thanks a lot! The way you speak including the vocab chosen and speed, is very friendly to English learners, I can comfortably understand every word. Please try to film more interesting topics related to daily life or discussion over certain topics. Looking forward to your future videos

It's a real great step,i just can't believe that you are a french native speaker insted inglish...Its a big deal,Good job man💪🏾

Hey Lois!😊 First of all, your English is impressive!👏 I can imagine how much work and effort you must’ve put into getting to this level. Respect, brother!💪 Secondly, I love that you emphasized what it actually takes to get to a very good level of English. I personally don’t agree with people who say that 10-15 minutes per day is enough. We both know that it takes a whole lot more than that, and not everyone is willing to devote those hundreds if not thousands of hours to become an amazing English speaker and use it effortlessly. Not many people realize the price of achieving this goal. I do. That’s why I have such huge respect for everyone who’s gotten to a very advanced level of a foreign language.💪 Great job, man!👍 Keep sharing your experience.😊

Thank you for sharing your experiences. I hope i can learn something from this video, improve my comprehensive abilities when I listen to others and maybe help me a lot when I want to talk what I think by my second language .

Hey man! Congrats! You've reached a very good level of English! I know how much work it takes to get to this level for a non-native speaker! Keep it up!

Your English is so fluent and nicely to listen

Congratulation, you're english is awesome... I totally agree with you cuz I learned english in that way. Bless you from italy man

Thanks U for your advice❤ It helps me

Hello my dear friend Lois Talagrand, good afternoon! Great this video, I liked it much! Congratulations for your work that you have done on KZfaq. I could understand your speaking skill in English, about 80%. I admire your endowment. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽.

Thanks for those advices. I'm a French guy currently learning English and I'm applying 2 things that you mentioned in my life in order to be more fluent. I think exposure is the most important step to enhance your level. You have to live your English instead of only learning it. I found your channel recently and I love it. Keep going and thanks again for those tips.

Congratulations!

thank you so much for the video,was really helpful,I'm b1 right now and I really like English,the culture around it and my long-term goal is can understand history books

I will follow your strategies to achieve my goal of being fluent in English. Thank you for this video.

Thanks for a advice

Woww its really motivate me your video. I search a lot of video but when I heard your english accent I like to continue to listen and watch your video. I hope I can do become fluent to speak english too.😊😊

I recently discovered your KZfaq channel and was impressed by your fluency in English, especially considering that you are a native French speaker. As a Japanese person born and raised in Japan, I am excited to see that you also speak Japanese and I am curious to learn more about your language learning method. I believe that your approach can help me improve my English skills as well. P.S. My honeymoon destination was Bora Bora island!

i agree about repetition, i always thought it is the reason why children love to watch dozens of times a movie they like. thanks.

Wahoo! as a French speaker and living you blow my mind!! You speak like an American. I will follow everything to bring my English to the next level.!! Congrats 👏

The link is so useful.thank you somuch.your great.God bless you

Congrats man!! You did it! I am really happy for you! I am still on my way to fluency. ❤

I came back here to listen to you again, and I could listen almost 100% than before. So, I think I’ve have a bit improved. Thanks for this great video you made!

your accent and pronunciation are great

my advice is to repeat after the speaker, in live time, for example I watched this video constantly repeating, and I'm sure my brain absorbed a lot of useful things, plus my pronunciation improves, and I will be able to give out sentence words without thinking....

Your English is great ❤

Man, you said it. You rock! Now I'm back on track because of you. I used to do many things you mentioned back in time. And now after watching this great and useful video, I'm inspired to go back and work on those tips to get fluency in English once and for all. Thanks for sharing it. God bless you and keep up the good work.

I'm shocked! I thought you're an English native speaker! Thank you very much for sharing your experiences with us. I'm also a French learner and I'd love to see a video of you speaking in French. It'd be nice. Congratulations for your effort and dedication!

Wow for a person that have english like a second language, you speak very well. I agree with you. Watching movies or videos is one of the best ways to improve your fluency in any idiom and i am brazilian .

Very inspiring! I just would like to add another tip: Speak to yourself and Read in aloud voice from time to time, to practice your speaking, in case you have nobody to speak to. This is what I still do every day, before starting my shift specially, because I self-taught myself, and my actual job is providing tech support over the phone. Of course I make a lot of mistakes, stupid people make fun of me here and there, but while haters are laughing, we are growing! So, let it be! Life is crazy! Let's keep going forward! 👊🤝👏👏

Thank you very interesting!

Bcz you are a frensh speaker english is so easy for you. Good job man 😊

Now I feel the same as you, no progress, I don't understand when watching movies I want to be fluent like you, 😢

After watching your video I am really sure that watching more movies or videos are important to improve our English lesson. Thank you for your helpful explanation.

Great video. One thing I've observed when it comes to acquiring a new language from others is the REPETATIVE LISTENING! Such an underrated tip that many "polyglots" on youtube seem to skip yet it is so vital. It even makes sense for us a children that always want to watch the same show or movie or listen to the same song over and over and over to the point they memorize words (I prefer the term 'syllable sequence'). I've also read and watched non-native english speakers who have learned english by watching the same shows and/or episodes over and over and over while supplementing with other new pieces of input. it just makes sense and I've been incorporating that in my language acquisition process (I have a couple of news broadcasts that are always on loop and crazy thing is, after about 2 weeks I started noticing repeating words (syllable sequences). The more I loop the more the 'fast' and 'incomprehensible' speech is starting to become more clear to me. /end rant

Salut. Thanks for sharing.

Marvelous!👍

Outstanding🎉

+ stumble upon something/someone = to discover something by chance, or to meet someone by chance + gravitate towards something/someone = to be attracted by or to move in the direction of something or someone + nowhere near = not close in distance, time, amount, or quality + back in the day = used for talking about a time in the past, usually when you are remembering nice things about that time + the name of the game = the most important part of an activity, or the quality that you most need for that activity + from one day to the next = before each day happens + put in the hours (at work) = to work very hard, often long hours + revolve around someone/something= to have someone or something as the main or most important interest or subject + on the other end of the spectrum

Bravo à ton accent parfait!

I am a Somali 🇸🇴 girl who is struggling with English learning. I enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you for your helpful tips. 😊 🙏

Good job.

thanks for helping us

Great video and suggestion.

I love it , I've been learning English for a year..❤❤ but gave myself away ❤❤❤❤

Hello! As per my perspective,i would like to say that learning only in school isn't sufficient. I had been longing to become as fluent in English as you are.whenever i'd learnt new words, i usually wrote them in books,yet i was not able to speak English courageously and stupendously.Moreover, I didn't have a partner to speak English;for this reason, i had been struggling a lot.The days went on,and fortunately,i got my own phone,As soon as i bought my phone i started searching for such helpful channels in order to enhance my writing & speaking expertise.currently, I'm quite fortunate to have found this channel which will be really helpful to me.on top of that, i also would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your endeavours,assistance, and assiduousness.I am Hoping that i will get constant help from you even in the days to come.May God bless you!!❤❤❤

thank you mr jet lee

I think it is also about self awareness. People have different kind of intelligence and some are very good at learning languages. On the other hand, some are good at mathematics or psychology. If you know your self you know what method suitable for you. At school , they teach you academic languages. Unfortunately, they are focusing too much on grammar and few hours every months won’t help you be fluency! Put yourself into the environment that forced you to speak. Learn whenever or whatever possible.

I am French too , and I am agree with you learning languages with schools is very difficult and painful sometimes so thanks you for this video

Thanks you for this video😊

You English is very good . I am currently learning Spanish, and sometimes I just wonder what English learners tips are . Great video

Amazing❤❤

This is the second time that im watching this video. Im actually from a french speaking country, and i was definitely surprised when you said that your native language is French. After that, i forgot to subscribe to your channel, and that pushed me to look desperately for your channel in vain. Now that I saw it again, I'm never gonna lose it. Thanks for this video

Wow..that's cool tip..Thank you 👍

Firstly, thank you for your advices, then i hope that i can reach the point that u have reached one day ❤

For the first time when i watched "Sherlock Holmes' movies i was utterly stunned how fast they were using every single word and then Repetitive listening did work ❤

i do repetitive listening to your video. it helps a lot. thank you

It's not possible to have this level without living where people speak English. I can not believe that.

Your English is absolutely fascinating! You sound like an American speaker!!!

Wow . thanks you infor our

Excelent extra tip 😮
