Now I am doing the challenge and I am learning English every day also I document my journey on KZfaq. Hope I will succeed 🤞 Good luck to everyone

Speaking from my perspective (a Polish who learned English), the difficulty in speaking fluently is not because of having not enough skill in your mouth, tounge, sounds making... this can be trained quite easily. It's all about processing thoughts in time to voice them whenever you want. To teach your brain to think in English (or any other foreign language) and to think fast is not easy. It's always easier to write than speak. You can give yourself time to pick right vocabulary or rephrase a sentence when you write. When speaking there's no time for it. Even if your listening skills go up so much you're able to follow a fast speaking person who uses advanced vocabulary, that's satisfying enough. However, when you can speak fast, using a lot of words, not even giving them too much thought, that's mind-blowing. Such a great feeling of accomplishment. A part of the words I use, I don't really know translation to them (to my mother tongue), but I understand the meaning and use them correctly.

I am from India and my name is Rubel. I highly recommend to all of you to subscribe this channel. I have been following this channel since lockdown and really it helped my skills even now also. These teachers are outstanding. In my salad days, I was so shy and that time I got 30marks out of 100 in English in class 10. But now English is my favourite subject and the most interesting part is that I passed under graduation in English literature and during Hons in college nobody expressed their points in English clearly but fortunately I came across this channel and it made me confident then everyone surprised because I could express my views clearly using good sentence. Therefore, I haven't any words to compliment on these teachers. They are revolutionary teachers in English language. They completely turned our fear into confident in English language. I am very lucky to be your student dear teachers.

I don't think about my English level. I just enjoying my journey

I'm brazilian like Thiago and in my opinion is more easy to undersand what he says instead of Ethan.

there's a lot more to work on with my fluency and proficiency but especially building my self confidence and eliminate self doubts

Hi. I'm from South Korea. I've been enjoying listening to your popcast. And I'd downloaded RealLife ENGLISH app. I'll drop my ego get in the way of learning and trying to make me to speak English proficiently. Finally, I'd like to live in English. Thank you.

I'm in awe of the talent on display here

I loved this channel... I dealt with many subjects and I learned a lot. Thank you so much!

You described my story during this podcast. I learned English for many years, and I get all the information in English, I even work for a foreign company where all management English speaking people, and I understand everything, but I can't speak. It's awful. I communicate with my boss via mail.

Nice video brothers! Thank you!

I really loved this video lesson! Thanks for share with us!

Great work guys! You shared a concept that helped me a lot sharing the differences and steps of fluency and proficiency! I’ll go for it!

Thiago is really charismatic and great speaker, I did the "Wednesday Learn with TV" day before yesterday at school with my pupils and they all liked it so much because of him. I think he is a good addition to both Learn with TV and RealLife English. Keep on with your awsm channels.

Amazing conversation

*your contribution and activeness are indomitable we are feeling proud of having you here, kep it up further as it is universal fact that no one is perfect , many hands make a light work, and you are a live paradigm of consistency.

Loving the musical interlude to explain the difference between fluency and proficiency! And congrats to Thiago on his English level (all the more impressive given that he achieved it alone). I was pretty fluent in French as a teenager (I could have a conversation), but I definitely wasn't proficient! My accent would have been strong and my grammar off etc, but I enjoyed speaking! I was learning German at the same time and I got bogged down with proficiency - putting the verbs in the right place, getting the cases right etc - and my fluency was much lower. But I think that also illustrates the difference between those two languages - French is a bit more flexible and it's easier to go with the flow. Maybe English is somewhere in between.

Hie .this platform really improves my english.lm super happy for the changes I'm seeing each and every day in my journey.

I love you guys, you glow me up with excitement to learn more this beautiful language

This channel is super helpful 🎉

Enjoying a lot with both talking about this topic ... Thanks for being part of my improving

Thank you so much for all these episodes, it's amazing. Could you make other videos about reallife in USA

Thank you for this great video! It’s very useful and inspirational! I am at the stage where I have been living my English in real life for some time already, but eventually realized that it is getting worse (because I face similar situations on a daily basis) and any new situation causes hesitation and reveals lack of proficiency. So I realized that I definitely could do more for my English. However, I am full time working adult and do not have a lot of time to dedicate to learning (especially to memorizing new words). So with all this being said, I would love to hear from you about practical ways to improve proficiency (especially to develop vocabulary) for people with different time relevant possibilities, e.g., from those who can learn one new word per week to those who can dedicate some time a day for active memorizing. Thank you a lot in advance!

Thank so much for your easygoing content.really appreciate!

amazing content !!!

Hello/Olá from Brazil! By listening this EP, now it makes sense the reason why when I am taking an English Test and the results shows me that my listening comprhension skills are between the C1 and C2 level but when it comes to speaking it lows to B2-(Upper-Intermediate Level) Maybe it's bcz I have only focused on reading and listening. I can Understand around 100% or so of what I heard or read, but I "Freeze Up", as you said, when I try to express myself on a certain situation or certain topic.

I like your job , thanks guys

Yes wonder❤ you guys doing fabulous job❤ lots of love

thank you guys

Thanks❤

Thanks! I think you made a spectacular job. I'm so grateful with this channel and obviously with boht of you. I have no good topic to share here, but I hope I can see you soon. Bye!

I really enjoyed with you podcast guys , keep going ❤

Great job on this video. Thank you very much

You were right. Being arrogant for something is definitely wrong

Sincerely, I like what you do to help us to improve our English speaking. I find your method among the best for those who want to learn and ameliorate their English. Thank you so much

Just i am adding so many on my English level , its too understandable by most and educational. Really i thank you very much

Thank you guys, this episode was great ! Thank you ! ohhh yeaahh!

Amazing 🤝👏👏👏👏

i like the way that they explain things and i have learned a lot vocabulary with this postcat congratulation guys i watch their videos all the time to improve my english

I can understand the most of the words they speak, for me is so happy you know, thx...

This episode was great. Interesting distinction between fluency and proficiency. While I have a good proficiency, particularly in a "passive mode", I feel I have limited fluency. As you guys discussed, it's seems natural to gain/reach fluency first. So, I was wondering how to do the other way around and balance both aspects. Maybe you can expand on this in another episode. Keep up the good work guys. Cheers

thank you 👍

Watching you from Cong B. Good content, keep it up.

✌You guys rock!👏 💝Thank you so much for your amazing work!💖

Hello professor What you present is really interesting and amazing, i really appreciate your job. I wish you happiness and peace under the sky of prosperity. All the best. Take care and have a good time

Can you create more videos like this, i really love videos like this. I can learn english with tv series but those series just too long and there's a lot of vocabularies to learn so i can't remember all of those

What an interesting and great topic! I have come across a couple of 'teachers' on KZfaq, they are able to speak English pretty well(fluent), but they make a lot of mistakes in their teaching(aka teaching the wrong things). I am originally from Hong Kong and have been living in the UK and the US for a long time, my English is around C2 level, hence I can tell those teachers don't have the proficiency. However, many people when they are at B2 level or below, would not know the fact that they are being misled.

Thanks guys for your stupendous job, well done, so far so good, but it would be even more fantastic if you could diversify podcasts with various non related to English learning topics, (it doesn't really matter which exact topics it might be. I believe the main thing in this respect that topics wouldn't be related to the English learning stuff), cheers!

this is my first video that looked for me that going my language native, i am learned by osmosis and too your diction is pretty good and very clean, nice your talk thank's

My problem isn't fluency, my problem is that I find it really hard to stop overanalyzing what I'm saying when I'm speaking, and that causes me to eventually stutter and stop and get frustrated. I was once so good at English and my friends and classmates admired my confidence and spontaneity in class. Every time my the teacher dedicated a class to improvisation, I'd be the first one to raise my hand to stand by the whiteboard and start talking carelessly and casually. Unfortunately now I've lost that confidence and developed this sheer and complete perfectionism with English. Now I'd rather never talk again than make a mistake talking or commenting on a KZfaq video like this, but back in the day I'd type a whole text on social media.

That person is me. I can speak fluently but unable to understand academic English. Thank for such a good podcast. Now, I know that I have to work on my English proficiency.

It was really useful information

thank you for your value video, it is very helpful for leaner in order to improve English skill gradually.😍😍

i love this conversation, this podcast 😃

Thank you guys this podcast it's very helpful I understand most of what you said in and I feel more confident then before to go up in my journey knowing where I start and why I need to become more fluent

Muito obrigado

Hi, i would like to watch more podcast about your personal experience studying abroad. I agree with a statement that you said praticing without speaking to someone can affect to my fluently i have to change and improve that method

Greetings ,I from Afghanistan thank you so much for your useful video

I have that problem too, some times I freeze, although i can understand complex topics, so i figured that I'll try and talk to more people

Hy!! Guys how u been?? I'm Fromm India. Whatever, you have talked about. I'm agree with you, i have been learning English, for two years. Now i can speak good but my writing isn't that much better compare to my speaking, & reading, listen. Please!! Make a video for writing. Thnx !! Buddy for this amazing podcast. Love from 🇮🇳!!!!! 😘😘

Along with Rachel's English yt channel, these are the best in the world ever created. Seriously, everything you might be looking for, it's all here packed, all the succulent nutrients that'll kickstart your day in a better way. I admire your channel and especially this video you've touched on proficiency rather than fluency and this was the missing link for years, now I just certainly know that I have to immerse myself in the topic that I'm into to be able to pass it on to others if someone would ask me and only then it'll be a genuine indication of my comprehension of the language and how to utilize it in different realms. Keep up the good work, best regards, Nazariy from Ukraine 🇺🇦

Some people think that for learning new language like English so that's why vocabulary plays part and parcel role in this act but my opinion is that without Better vocabulary we can become much better in the English language with become more confident and take a lot of practice It is correct or not Plz reply on this

Hi guys this is my first time listening your podcast and I enjoy it by the way I from Philippines and English is our second languange and I want to improve my English speaking skills that's why I'm here and try your application.

Thanks for your effort. You are speaking very fast. Maybe a few next year later it will be usefull for me

Fluency as i can said is someone who can be talk without thinking too much. More easily to understand jokes and movie without subtitles.

I'm eagerly looking forward to a podcast discussing job opportunities and integration for immigrants (in countries that only speak English), especially those with limited English proficiency. How immigrants integrate into a new society, especially when they're not fluent in the local language.. It's a topic that impacts so many people and is often filled with unique challenges and opportunities.. Thank you for considering this topic, I wanna hear ur perspectives and advices. Please guys, continue with everything u're doing and Keep up the fantastic work! Aw yeah

Yes

Great guys keep it up good work🎉 I’m mostly watching your video on KZfaq just one thing I want to add Can you plz write the new vocabulary words in description below which you use in your video bcz it will be easy to grasp from your KZfaq videos also, Thanks

Unfortunately you can’t get fluent because it’s impossible. However you can get proficiency . Keep going .

It ıs üretty useful and inspiring vıdeo

I've been looking for a good advice and answers to how i become a native speaker? and in this channel I found the answer, actually I recommended it to a coworker. Greetings from 🇨🇴 Colombia

Hello my dear teachers Ethan and Thiago. You are helping everyone from many different countries. I'm from Uzbekistan, from my country many people and also students watch your videos. Thank you so much. Good luck my teachers

The Latino guy have the Chicano slang I being fighting against (( You know)) ending in each sentence. I live this episode. Their humble way of speaking ❤

Please put the automatic captions. Thanks.

good channel to learnig english, I propose it

Would you imagine being fluent in several languages like polyglots

One of the essential things to consider, on the path to proficiency, is getting rid of unnecessary and annoying "like"s and "you know"s in your speech.

You mentioned a really nice word: master your English

I would say too that the hood analogy was great, a fluent analogy.

How much guys from Russia is here? (just please without politics) maybe I am unique but you guys really useful for me and with every day I feel like my mastery of possession is rising when I listening your podcasts and try to thing about something after that, it really inspiring me

my level is easy I'm talking about with even the video I'm watching in different speed but my real problem is like i have anxiety and sometimes i think too much to answer because my brain is a little mess and sometimes i just forget some words or don't know word to use i quite hard find out without translate

محتوى رائع❤

Please allow ur videos caption or subtitles

Hey real life English I want to know if I can improve my English skills for 3 months if I can how also thanks for all advice to me for improving my language

I can understand what your speak during podcast but when i speak English especially native speaker i am go blank even my vocab is disappear

I like 🎉

Where is Thiago from?

Tiago is really similar to a guitarist of Metallica Rob Trujillo :)

I ask thiago do you read a book start with why

"Array" isn't a new word for me. However, I haven't used it that way. "A wide array of vocabulary" is such a nice alternative to the usual "wide range of vocabulary" or "wide word-stock". Thanks. What you call proficiency is probably better defined as accuracy. The notion of proficiency is a bit broader and involves both fluency and accuracy.
