8. Use your English to do things that are meaningful to you. I know why I can't remember words now.

Hey Christian, today I have to disagree a bit. Your first point is that we should stop watching KZread videos. In my opinion a better point is rather stop watching the wrong videos. Actually, KZread helps me a lot to get better in English... I wish you the best for 2020 :)

Yeah but he meant videos that are about English, e.g. "10 different ways to say thank you" etc. KZread videos that are in English and about whatever topics you like to watch videos about are fine, I don't think Christian meant those.

Don't forget that this topic is to be fluent, not to learn English

Hi Christian. My name is Mike Woods and I am an Australian English teacher working in Taiwan. Your video is a breath of fresh air. I totally agree with you. A long time ago I arrived at the same conclusions. Teaching English is an industry, videos, books, magazines etc etc etc. It all makes money. This does not mean that online teachers are bad people. Only that they fall into the same pattern as everyone else. When my students tell me that they must learn grammar I ask them two questions: "Could you speak Chinese when you were seven years old?" They always reply, "Yes, I could." I then ask them, "How many grammar lessons did you have BEFORE you were seven years old? They just look at me and cannot answer. There are so many questions, like this one, that a teacher can ask a student to expose the truth of the situation. So, good luck, keep going and I wish you all the best for the future.

I got fluent in English just by watching KZread. Thousands hours of input in a target language is the best way to learn it. You just need some base vocabulary to get started with it, but once you can understand videos, learning becomes free.

Science doesn't support your claim. What science tells us is if you listen things, you'll be better at listening. If you speak in English, you'll be better at speaking and so on. You can't be fluent only by listening, you have to use the language. That's the whole point of this video.

@@sobanya_228 If you haven't spoken to an English speaker, how do you know you are fluent? If you understand things in English, that doesn't mean you are fluent. You have to produce language, you have to speak with other people (not only write) to be fluent...

I can speak fast and have decent vocabulary. I usually describe myself as near-native.

Im Kamil from Poland. I want to tell you that you are the best teacher on the world forever. Thank you for your job !!!

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9, the great 9, thank you for your fantastic definitions .I learn a lot from you.

Hi Christian, I don't agree with your claim to stop trying to learn English via youtube. I am a 72 year old Italian who loves to know languages. When I was young in Rome the war had just ended and there was hunger. For me there was no possibility to study, and even less to study languages. I am now retired and have been in Kenya for about a year where I tried to learn the local language (Kiswahili) and the official language (English) Since I discovered your channel, thanks to you, I have learned a lot. Now I'm back in Italy and I take advantage of your help. What I like most is that your "lessons" are like conversations because your way of dealing with linguistic issues is engaging ... I am intrigued and make the topic absolutely interesting. Now I have returned to Rome and I have no opportunity to practice or converse in English, for this I must thank you for the help and the company you offer me .... Yes Christian I have not used an inadequate term. You offer me company, education and every day intriguing points of view on learning methods. Happy New Year and thanks again.

Hi Christian! I feel like a "normal" person when I watch your videos. In addition to teaching, you can motivate without deluding or making people feel more limited than they already are. I know your channel a few months ago, but I wish I had known it for a while. Thanks for everything! Hearing it awakens many things that were dormant in me. A big hug with total gratitude. 💙💞

I'm a seventy six year old native English speaker of the English language. I have been living in China for eighteen years. My eight year old Chinese step grandson, loves to correct mistakes that I make when I read stories to him that he knows. Sometimes I make mistakes when I'm not reading out loud. We never stop learning, laugh at small mistakes, we will remember them better that way, and feel good about it. A great video, great content.

I don't agree with the 30 years thing. I think It's not a matter of years but a matter of HOURS, you'll get different results practicing 2 hours a few days a week than practicing 6 hours EVERY SINGLE DAY .. That's what i've been doing for the past 4 months and the progress i've made so far it's amazing

30 years? Great! We should start as soon as possible.

There are millions of illiterate people in the world. They cannot read or write, yet they can speak. This means that you don't need to know grammar and you don't even need to read, but you're right when you say you have to practice the language. And just like children do, we are allowed to speak badly for the first few years. You are very good. Thank you so much!

I will call this video a $1,000,000 video on language learning of this century. You opened my mind and thank you a million times. I want to apply these epic rules to my programming language courses with your permission. Love from the Turkish Republic.

Finally! Someone who told the truth! I wish everyone watched it!

I hope everyone who learning English watch this video!

There is another which is very amazing too. The tittle is: Stop studying and start communicating. The author is also Christian. Take a look at it.

As my teacher has said: "If you failed an exam -- you don't know the subject, but if you passed it is not necessary that you know it."

Just a quick correction: I THINK you mean "...but if you passed it, then you don't necessarily know it." What you wrote would mean that any exam you passed is about an irrelevant topic. That's not what you meant, is it?

We won't stop to watch your videos until become fluent your videos are also very helpful. Thank you christian!

You are a good teacher and person because you dont care our money and your goal is only teaching english us.I am watching you for 2 days and my ideas changed positive about learning english,thank you for everything the best teacher.

I don't agree with you Christian about only one point. Such positive and purpose driven podcasts especially all your podcasts help improve English and give people knowledge about right approach towards language . I say it as a polyglot who knows 13 languages and say as a language learners at the same time who continue learning languages. But what it comes to the other points you are completely RIGHT! Just keep going. You are doing exceptionally a great job!

You're the best!!!! Be happy and have fun in 2020. New Year isn't about "year", it's about "being a new person next year

I think english is a huge subject and you need to learn step by step if you do this you will learn a lot of english and youtube give a full input to our learning.

Totally agreed with you! I am from Asia. When I see people on youtube say "you can get fluency of certain any native language in 90 days, I would say "In your dream." I would say at least five year and more for learning a new language.

Listening to real English helps A LOT to speak better. I agree that only with enough practice you get fluent enough. I also agree that most channels just teach grammar and not 'real' English.

Most English courses are designed to capitalise on people's lack of autonomy. They purposefully discard critical thinking because tycoons are interested in protecting the sanctity of their products. When people realise that language is not a commodity but a vehicle to transmit their most fundamental human emotions and ideas, then they will truly grasp the importance of learning a language. Christian, you're absolutely brilliant. I'll definitely share this video with my pupils.

I promise to get fluent in 2020! I'll back in December. Thank you from Russia, Christian!

I totally agree with Christian. You should have a great conversation with friends around the world is the best way to learn English and I disagree just with one thing when you watch and listen to youtube channels in English you increase your vocabulary and listening skill, but you don't have to watch just the videos where people teach you how to learn English you try to see funny videos like the Ellen show or interesting videos like TED Talk, learn a new language is an amazing experience and enjoy the process is the most important thing.

i have watching many years still i can speak clearly 100% correct its only entertament thank you a lot appreciate that

2020 is our year, sure.

Thanks Chris!!! Good video!

I agree with you a hundred percent. In fact, you can learn a new language if you make it an integral part of everyday life and you read, speak, write and hear regularly when someone speak in the new language. In addition, you are active and apply in practice what you have learned in the new language.

Thank you! That's very encouraging

Simply amazing! Thanks for that tips!

Thanks for useful tips Christian! Merry Christmas!

Greetings from Russia Saint Petersburg! Thank you very much for your brilliant teaching. I agree with every your word. Success loves hard-working people. I have been learning English since 2017 . I am not young woman and sometimes i have success and failure. But how said H.Ford -failure is simply the opportunity to begin again this time more intelligently!

Hi Christian, Daniel here. As always, excellent video again! I would like to say that your number 1 tip surprises me. I watch KZread videos all the time, and exactly the ones you named. A few weeks ago, I started following your videos, and I loved them, you give me back the desire to be fluent, to be successful in my English. Even today, I started to retrieve information to take the Teacher Training course, I love the language, and my next goal is to be a teacher and transmit all the courage that you transmit to us, well, thank you Christian again, I will! I see in classes!

You are the best!

thank you 🙏🏻

Thanks for this tips.

I agree with everything except tip No.1. It works very well if you not only watch videos, but retell it in English in your own words.

Great job Sir !

Thank you for information.
