How long did it take you to become fluent in English?

These are actual comments that I received from you guys.

And honestly, a lot of the comments sound exactly like the thoughts that I used to have.

I know the feeling of,

why is this not working for me?

Because I've been studying English for years.

I know, I've been that too.

So instead of just replying in the comments about my English,

I turned on the camera.

We are going to read the comments together and I'll answer as honestly as I can.

I'm gonna give you a shout out.

Exciting!

And if I've ever screenshot your comment,

you might be in this video.

So let's get into it.

So yeah, I collected all the questions slash comments here and I'm gonna read them.

Should I read the name too?

Hmm.

Okay, the comment from English Habit.

When I tried to make up my own sentences,

the expressions didn't feel natural,

so I started memorizing sentences used by native speakers.

However, that only lasted for a brief moment.

I end up forgetting everything as time passes.

Do you happen to have your own method for remembering those sentences?

I'm curious to know how you developed your sense of English.

I'm not perfect either, but this question really made me think about how I got to this point where I am now.

So, 감사합니다.

Even if it sounds really awkward,

I think making sentences by directly translating from your own language is actually a really important starting point,

like words by words.

Even though it was not the way people naturally speak on a show or in your textbook,

once you become comfortable with this simple translated sentences,

that's when you start to notice things like,

this doesn't sound natural or like oh actually we have the similar expression in my language to develop that kind of イエ,

that kind of brain you have to build your language step by step

and to be honest i don't think that i use

that many fancy expressions i actually use a lot of directly

translated sentences more i actually made a video about studying english through scenes like movie and dramas.

It's similar to shadowing.

If you keep forgetting expressions or sentences,

it's probably because you're not saying them out loud enough.

The reason I said to empathize first in the video instead of focusing on perfect shadowing the sentences is

because at this stage, I just want you to listen once and say it and move on.

In the beginning, quantity might be more effective than quality.

How can you memorize everything perfectly after hearing the sentence once?

I can't even do that either.

But if you hear the same kind of expression in different situations,

maybe through movies and dramas,

then in a similar moment when you're there,

you'll start to think like,

oh is this the kind of expression people use in this situation?

That's how your sense develops.

Try them in a perfect way is the next step.

Don't try to force yourself to memorize everything,

just try try to connect it to your own memory and bring it out.

My name, Martin.

Hi, Martin.

Should I keep reading these names?

I'm so scared if I pronounce the names wrong.

Sorry if I said it wrong.

Did you live in Australia?

You sound Australian, not Canadian.

Yes, I did.

I actually made a video about my experience in Australia,

so you can check that out.

I think my accent is kind of a mix of everything to be honest.

I think I tried to fix or like change my accent

when I came to Vancouver but I decided to just leave it as it is

and I don't know but yeah I definitely have a bit of an Aussie accent in it.

Can you please share the name of the series that helped you in learning English?

There are honestly so many but I think I started with Gossip Girl because it was easy.

Easier than other TV shows.

And once I started understanding a bit more, I watched Grey's Anatomy.

Grey's Anatomy.

A lot.

But actually, you know what?

Instead of looking for specific series,

I naturally focused more on finding actors who had the accent and pronunciation that I wanted.

Even when I watch shows i tend to really focus on just one person's english

because i like the way how

that person the specific one speaks i loved frankie doyle from

wentworth i think i'm smart do you great let's talk about you

and christina from gray's anatomy anatomy oh i can't also the

automatic paper towel thingy won't recognize me as human i'm just

standing there waving my hands like an idiot that's why i think youtube

and podcasts are even better you get to hear

that person's language more clearly how many time gone for you

learning english please reply my answer i'm shilpi hi shilpi from india

and i watch your video first time i really want to become yeah fluent

but i don't know how long it takes

so please give me some tips how yeah how we can

start it yeah i think not only for the comments i received like dms

and emails about this question

so in my case i had a basic sense of english for a long time

because i studied english when i was in like high school

but i couldn't really communicate even

when i moved to australia i was the same i could kind of respond by understanding the context

100

but i didn't truly speak english i think i really started improving after I came back to Korea during those two years.

101

The fact that I went to Australia didn't really improve my English

102

but it became a really strong motivation for me to study.

103

If I had to break down how I studied English to start,

104

I basically only consumed English content.

105

Movies, dramas, YouTube, everything in English.

106

The first thing that I did was changing my phone setting into English to see more English in my life.

107

So if you truly admire that future version of yourself who speaks English and you keep chasing it,

108

it will come true.

109

When filming an English video facing the camera,

110

what should I do if I come across something I don't know how to say?

111

For example, I don't know what something is called or how to express a certain idea.

112

I mean if this kind of situation happens several times,

113

the quality of the video will be gradually reduced and it won't be smooth to watch.

114

I don't think this is just a problem when you're filming in English.

115

It happens when you speak English in general, right?

116

Whether you're talking to a camera or to a person,

117

if you want to say something but you don't know how to say it

118

or you don't have the word in your brain,

119

just look it up right away.

120

That's what I do.

121

Even with my friends, whenever I hang out with my friends and I need to speak English,

122

they all know that I use my second language so

123

and they're willing to wait okay not knowing a language perfectly

124

is nothing to be ashamed of right i just say wait

125

a second what's the word what's the word what's the word

126

give me a second and then i look it up of course maybe not in an interview

127

but when you're filming your videos you can pause all the time

128

and you can re-say it the words

129

that you were gonna say i do it all the time the quality of the video

130

that you're concerning about or even the conversations will improve over time

131

and for more detailed tips on this i actually made a video about it

132

so please check it out

133

if you're watching this i love the way you think about learning a new language and I love your vibe.

134

I will use your video to practice shadowing.

135

Thank you so much.

136

Yes, as someone who learned by listening to so many podcasts,

137

watching so many YouTube videos and repeating after them,

138

this comment made me really really happy.

139

I stumbled upon this video by chance thanks to the algorithm.

140

Thank you.

141

Your pronunciation and voice are both beautiful you mentioned that you studied English using podcast.

142

Do you have any great tips for studying English conversation?

143

Thank you.

144

That's so cute.

145

For me, I started listening to podcasts about things I was actually interested in.

146

For you, that could be anything.

147

That could be relationships, friendships,

148

society, money, self-improvement, sports, anything like that.

149

From your perspective, try to find a YouTube channel or podcast that feels easy enough for you to understand and follow.

150

Something that you could even talk about with your friends and your family.

151

I think, maybe it's for me,

152

I think it's really important to find someone who has an accent or pronunciation you actually like.

153

So you want to copy them.

154

And when you listen, repeat it over and over until you can hear everything clearly what they say in the podcast.

155

At first, maybe you can't understand everything what this person says.

156

You might only get the brief idea,

157

general feeling and not fully understand everything.

158

That's okay.

159

You will listen to the same podcast multiple times.

160

I know it could be a bit boring

161

but at the same time it's actually really satisfying to graduate from one podcast at a time.

162

And once you reach a point where you understand it almost perfectly then move on to the next one.

163

You can find a next interest.

164

Please keep the content in English.

165

I have learned English like for years.

166

I'll keep making content that you guys need and you guys want

167

because having people who watch my videos gives me good motivation to keep going.

168

Let me know what you're curious about or what you want to hear.

169

But the reason why I don't only talk about English is because like I said earlier,

170

I learned English through a podcast.

171

We're going to talk about many different topics in English.

172

All of my videos are in English.

173

Whether English is difficult for you or comfortable for you,

174

you're all leaving comments in English on my videos.

175

to me that's all English content.

176

I really enjoyed answering your questions today.

177

I'll bring more next time.

178

This is just part one.

179

I think I'll come back with part two soon because I actually have more questions I think.

180

Not just questions but also comments I want to talk about and I am really grateful for that.

181

So I want to mention as many as I can

182

and I want you to feel like it's more about the conversations not just me talking

183

so i want to answer as many questions as i can

184

also i realized i haven't really asked you guys to leave the questions properly

185

186

if you have anything you're curious about leave a comment down

187

below anything is fine i will get back to you where

188

it doesn't even have to be about english right maybe i should do a personal q a some time too

189

but would you guys be curious about my personal life like who i am let me know if you want that.

190

See you next time and thank you.

191

Bye bye.

192

Past you in the library,

193

you glance up from your book You saw right through me with that vacant look Instead of studying for my exam,

194

I've been studying your face When you happen to turn your head my way,

195

my heart begins to raise You're so attractive,

196

you're in all my classes

197

I'm gonna find a way to see you more

198

and more I'm gonna find a way to see you more and more How's up in every door?

199

Now I'm sitting waiting, trying not to go insane Staring at your reflection in the wind and pain Ooh,

200

hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
