this is such a great thing. I really appreciate what you have shared. We must be satisfied with what we have. Maybe it can be a very little but we must be grateful for it. Nicely spoken! wow
It was a pleasure 😉 to listen to this video. This seems like a good step in applying the backwards law you talked about in a previous video. Allowing yourself to understand and appreciate that you are 80-85% fluent, should lower stress about performance and negative ego about not being perfect. I will ask a question that I have seen in a previous video as well: do you converse with other people in English? It may be a hack for you considering your goals in vocabulary and accent. Real time feedback at least for me, makes it easier to correct errors PS your parents must have been Nostradamus when they named you. It is almost comical how the meaning of your name and your actions are one in the same. You’re doing great!
It's incredibly easy to forget that learning a language is a long, long process that is actually very laborious and not as fun as people like to present it sometimes. There will be many setbacks we'll make, a lot of things we'll have to unlearn then relearn, and a lot of hard work that needs to be done that's not fun at all, including being self- conscious or being afraid to make mistakes but still keep improving in spite of it all. We should definitely praise ourselves every step we make on the journey. Your English is amazing, any native person would be able to understand what you're saying and that is already such a big achievement, your speech is very easy to listen to at this stage, and you can just improve and become more advanced from here. Also, these videos will have an amazing impact on those who stumble upon your channel and are working solo to improve their English, that is so precious. Honestly, your English is already enough, maybe with some additional work it could be just a bit more refined. Let's not push ourselves too hard but still keep working hard to improve our English . 🤍🤍
Thank you for sharing this thought/realisation. We often fail to recognize it because of the hustle we find ourselves in due to various factors (achieving the 'ideal' way of speaking a languages, self consciousness and comparing ourselves, - things that may delay growth). Sadly we're wired to 'survive' in this highly competitive system by focusing on these factors (because outcome/excellence > Learning). Bottom line being, we often forget to realise how far we've come. So, give yourself enough credit for keeping up with all the trial and errors and continue to thrive from thereon. Let's be patient with ourselves. 💪 Note:- We're all doing well✨
I know what you mean. I have been learning Korean for around 4 years now, and I feel like I’m not at the level yet where I should be. I also tend to think about all the things I can’t say or understand yet, while forgetting all of the progress I have actually made over the years. The struggles of a perfectionist and always wanting to do well 🥲 Learning a language is always difficult, it takes a long time to fully master it, especially if a language is very different from your own. But I also think it’s better to focus on the things we already /do/ know and also to not be afraid of making mistakes! Also your English is already so so good! I would actually already call you fluent even if there’s sometimes small mistakes. I genuinely don’t think small mistakes matter a lot when you speak a language though since even native speakers make a lot of mistakes in their own language. You can communicate with others in English pretty fluently without many problems, and that’s honestly the goal! You’re doing well, and as you keep on speaking and practicing English, your skills will naturally improve even more ☺️💪🏼💪🏼
I think your English is actually good. You need only a little practice on the pronounciation and accent. I'm also a non native person who self taught English. It was difficult to practice at first because no one here speak it, but eventually i became fluent. Still a long way to go, but i'm happy with my current progression. Wishing the same for you❤ practice makes perfect! Im sure you'll be speaking fluently like a native person one year from now❤All the best!
Day 20👏👏👏: so proud I made it this far. I didn't kept my promise from yesterday to go draw outside. I didn't draw outside because the weather is bad.( Yeah, that's my excuse I know it's stupid.) I did draw today and I think that I just found a new hobby. I have so many things I want to do that I haven't done yet because of my phone I always get distracted.Like I want to spend more time with my family rather than my phone, and to practice more with piano. I hate my phone sm it's so distracting.
This was a wonderful video! I agree with everything that you said...
You are a good guy. Your videos inspire me to create my own content. Thank you!!

I took a screenshot of this so that I will get reminded more often.
