Learn English with me: tinyurl.com/englishwithvenya

I’m American and I’m trying to learn German, but I don’t want to have an accent. I’ve been watching SOOOOOO many “How I Learned English” videos trying to find someone who doesn’t have an accent so that I can copy their method and use it for German. You’re literally the only one I could find that sounds 100% American. Thank you so much for making in this video! I’ll definitely be using your advice to learn German.

You speak/sound like u were born here. For someone who started learning English age 14, this is remarkable. I know ppl in my family who arrived to the USA around age 14, 15 and still struggle with fluency and get their thoughts across clearly. Amazing

Cant believe i watched this without subtitle 😭😭

in brief: In this video, the speaker shares their journey of learning English to a native speaker level before moving to the US from Russia at the age of 17. They started learning English at 14 and set a specific goal of speaking English like an American. The speaker realized they needed to create a comfortable, natural environment for learning English, so they started doing their hobbies in English and switched all their devices to English. They also applied a three-point system (learn, try, and do it yourself) to learning and practiced speaking English with others online or even talking to themselves. Additionally, the speaker studied American culture, watching movies, and analyzing people's communication styles. As a result, they felt prepared and comfortable when they arrived in the US. The speaker encourages others to try the methods they used, as they believe they can work for anyone who wants to learn English.

Веня, у тебя реально крутейший уровень языка. Не отличить от носителя, от американца. Спасибо за то, что делишься своим опытом. Только уважение!

OMG I can’t believe it! You started an English channel! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve started following you and Marina 🙏🏽🙏🏽

Wow that's so inspirational. I'm super pumped.

My native language is English, and I’m learning Japanese. I enjoy watching language learning videos occasionally regardless of the person’s native and target language. The part about treating your target language as your native language and staying relaxed very much related to. As I become overwhelmed by Japanese easily to the point of experiencing headaches that make me unable to continue. I’ve needed to listen to videos in Japanese while consciously making an an effort to relax to be able to absorb nearly anything.

This video completely changed my whole perspective of learning a new language.Thanks my hommie!!

Please create more ! I've learned a lot from you 💜

This is not only about language learning… this is about learning anything and getting into flow state where you can perform best.

😢5 years and my English still sucks I wanted to get a job but the interviewer told me that i need at least 80% English I’m so depressed

Thank you❤

Heyy 👋🏻 I'm Shamim from Iran🇮🇷 And ,I just wanted to say that I love every single one of ur videos 💜🥰 Thank you so much for teaching us English! I'm so excited to learn English with u and most importantly to improve my level 😍 Just go ahead, and never give up!ok? Good luck 😅

You give me hope. I'm so grateful toward myself that I started learning English when I was 12. and now that I've just turned 14 I'm at a level good enough to be able to watch movies without having to second-guess every single word. And at a level good enough to understand everything you've said in this video. You give me hope. You give me motivation to keep chasing that dream of mine - moving to America an becoming a true American. Thank you

You're rock, I understand everything that you talk about that how begin learn to learn

Lots of love to this channel from🇮🇳💜💜👍

Woaw you're so cool. thanks for this video

Thank you. I was really sad that my French hasn't progresses a lot.

I'm Ukrainian and I've been using your method just intuitively for 3-4 years, especially that I was so lucky to talk to many Americans out of Peace Corps...until the covid pandemic broke out and they were all brought home. I was nearly as fluent as probably you before settling in US...but now I live in Ireland for 7 months and....it's an entire struggle! Completely different accent and speech structure, I barely understand them from the first time and they don't always understand me either straight away without repeating...Meanwhile, many truly believe I'm American and deeply surprised when I say I'm not...

Thank you so much :)

Канал супер! Обратила на него внимание пару месяцев назад!!!! Книжечки тоже купила! Класс

Как бы иронично не звучало. Но при помощи твоих уроков, я щас понимаю тебя на 70%. Спасибо тебе

zero mystery or any "secret sauce" step one : move to the country where the language is spoken natively to study/work in the desired lang environment 24/7 step two: drop your other languages almost completely, leave mb 1-2 hrs a day for them, ideally reduce those to 0 voila! you're on track to becoming near native *bonus: starting as a young teenager helps a ton

What the heck? How did I miss this channel? I'm subscribed to all of your channels, but this one I discovered only today!

Thanks

Thank you so much for the motivation and for what you doing. With you there is an interest and desire to learn and develop your English.I don’t have a high level and I don’t understand everything, but thanks to your videos I have the motivation to learn even more new words.❤ Fun fact: When I first started learning English, i translated my phone in English and at once found everything there what I couldn't find when my phone was in Russian.😂🤷‍♀️

It’s insane how natural and native you sound, this is truly amazing!!

Hi, thank your advice. I'm starting to study english too. I don't understand everyone your words, but I'm trying do it.

I understand at all. Hugs from 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

I like the way you speak without accent man, Im trying to acheave the same results.... Subscribing to your channel now!

Thank you so much for your wise advices! ❤ Try ~ learn ~ DIY ❤

It's a great video. I'm currently learning English and I'm struggling with this language and I don't know why if this shouldn't be so rough.

I have a great level at listening and reading, but creating sentences and putting thoughts out is really difficult for me. I think I did a great job exposing myself to a lot of English, using musics, podcasts, books, and so on, but expressing your own ideas was something I didn't use to focus on. So, this "passive" learning method doesn't develop all the areas of English you need to become a fluent speaker. I find the filtration of things you learn a very useful advice, 'cause sometimes you learn a lot of new stuff you don't even use in your first language. Also, to be aware of cultural topics and references is crucial when it comes to understand humor, for example. I'll go back to my diary practices, and I hope I can speak like a native soon.

Thank you for your advice, and I have already hit the subscribe your channel, and I love marina and you vanya . 😊 ally the best , queen

One thing i noticed is that all success stories, like yours, have one thing in common; you all started learning at a very young age (14 in your case). As a 23 years old myself, i'll be realistic in saying that i have doubs whether its even possible for me to reach such a high level as yours.

Wow this video is so useful for me😧 I'm learning English to be an interpreter and sometimes I feel so stressed out and just wanna quit learning because it's very difficult and not fun at all. I think I need to do my hobbies in English so that I feel happy and relaxed while learning. Thank you so much❢

Yes, it is helpfull, I learned Amharic that way, and no one even can tell that it's my second language unless I tell them. Its time for English now!!

I believe that speaking a second language fluently is not something everyone can achieve. I've been learning English for 4 years, and now I am 31, but I feel like I will never become fluent at all. If your goal is being advanced or native-like, the process is so frustrating and demotivating because no matter how much you study and practice English there are always times that you'll fail speaking-wise or listening-wise. In my opinion, some people like you have a sort of talent for languages so they can easily make huge progress in relatively short time.

Xoxo from Brazil 🇧🇷

I'm able to understand english up to a native level, though its obviously due to the circumstance that I was only able to use english since i was young. But living in an environment (rural parts of malaysia) where english is rarely used anywhere above "intermediate" level causes a deterioration-cycle of my english skills. By that i mean its not possible for me to 'lose' my capacity for english, seeing as to how its literally my only base language where i can construct coherent sentences. But the lack of thought/language stimulation from my daily life dampens my overall language comprehension. I can listen and read and write just as well as a native learner but ive never had the ability to form native-level conversations with people. I wonder if anyone - especially those who dont live in a native-ly-english speaking community without a fluent secondary language. (I do have malay but its nowhere near half of my english proficiency)

Can you make a video whether on this channel or others about your preparing for SAT test ?

Woow can you share some of the podcasts or tv shows that helps you or it is only the environment that u change your comfort zone only .

U speak so beautifully all Americans should speak like that instead of mumbling

So useful and interesting!

👍

damn, sometimes I wonder what link I clicked on that I ended up here, when my I already speak english

You are my inspirations😊⭐️ you are brilliant. Your accent is 100% american

I thought you were American 😂 Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us, it gives me hope !

yo wasup g, just wanna thank u that u helped me fr getting better at english, but idk if it’s bad or not, cuz technically rn I got lil accent from the hood like Inglewood, and south central, should I get rid of it ? or just stay wit it cuz iont wanna sound like white people. btw I’m from kazakhstan, but live in toronto rn

2:38 to catch up WITH smb.

how many years have you lived in america?

omg i love your videos! i've studied english ALL MY LIFE for real! but i feel like i'm still stuck at the intermediate level! 😭i don't know, it feels like i don't have enough vocabulary and i can't express a 100% what i want to say...any advice? thanks and xo from perú!

Can you tell how you learnt English words just for me it’s a problem and just share it from your experience how you learnt English words that you reached advanced level is it hard to memorize them and using in speech or it’ll depend on my level and thank u🙏❤️

Yo yo yo what's good🔥🔥🔥

All good, but of course it helped you just living there after all, together with studying and everything. There are other fluent people on KZfaq with a good level already, then they immigrate overseas. Not everyone has a perfect accent of course but I think everyone becomes fluent after living - aka fully immersed in the context - in an English country for 10 years or more!

i was learning English like baby learn new language

The answer to the question in the video title is heard in the first seconds

how long did you invest to get that level?

Reading one page of a novel, writting the unknown words, then searching about the meaning and study it, then back to read the novel and lestin it this time with knowing the words. It's about 15 new words in on page, and I'll read it again after few days, is it this a good strategy for learning?

0:08

As for me I feel comfortable with listening.. but my problems start when I speak and do grammar exercises. When I’m talking to myself, my language sounds fluent, but when I’m talking on my English classes, my English becomes something else. I don’t really know how should I deal with it…😅

I’m Japanese. Of course my native language is Japanese. I live in Japan. But I would like to speak English like a native speaker. I have struggled learning English many years. But I don’t through beginner level yet. This video message gave me a lot of insight about how to do it. Thank you for Venya!

With all due respect, you haven't explained how you tackled the accent. It's a key element.

What’s your native language ?

Some people which are more visible when you turn on newest first in the comments are blindingly and insufferably being unnecessarily pedantic by calling out him for not being super-exactly like a native speaker. Wow, a second language speaker can never literally go back in time and change his first language? Who would have thought! To those people: acknowledge how learners can still gain from him and others similar _nonetheless_ , and don't underestimate just how *much* brainwork one has to take on to even get on this level, yes even with him having immigrated to the US and such. "The title should've been NEAR native speaker level, not otherwise!" look, I understand him more crisply than most others and legit would like to have a nice conversation with him about how he's trying to share his knowledge on KZfaq with people, if I could; and not with y'all judgemental folks.

If I can understand 80-90% of this video, which would be my english level?

I know you dude , I didn't know you have a Channel yt . 🙏🙏 Wow!

Пипец) Мне 17, я не представляю, как переехать в другую страну) Я сейчас учу английский, знаю неплохо, но смелости переехать пока не хватит.

You speak so clearly, but natives don't. Espessially Americans. Their speech is so hard to understand for me. But I won't give up, I listen, listen, listen more and more. Thanks for extra motivation

90% of native level

When I listen to you, it gets me thinking that you’re trying so hard to sound native. Like you think more about your pronunciation and grammar, but not the actual message. I might be wrong, just how it feels. Anyway, I love your videos. I learned a lot from them. Thanks for sharing

every day is my body I like change please

24.10.2023🎉🎉🎉🎉

I want to find a native English-speaker😢

I can understand what do you say, But i cant if native speak, Coz they always speak too fast

N

He said hold a lot of nothing

I have a question to those who don’t agree that the person in this video sounds like a native: 1. What do you believe gives him away as far as accent is concerned? 2. If you don’t believe you can totally sound like a native if you have acquired the language late in life, would you agree that it is possible to learn to sound like one some of the time, in other words, for instance, 70% or 50% of the time in a conversation? This is just an example. I am curious to know your thoughts.

Relax papi

Are you sure you on a native speaker level?

I know your from Russia, but where is homeland?

You know you know you know 😂
