    *3 Key Strategies:*
    _Repetitive Listening:_ The speaker emphasizes the importance of repetitive listening, stating that it constituted a significant portion of his learning strategy. He would repeatedly listen to podcasts, watch movies, and TV shows in English, exposing himself to the language's nuances over time.
    _Immersion:_ The speaker recounts a period when he lived in Switzerland and decided to immerse himself fully in English. He switched his daily activities, including internet browsing and social interactions, to English, even changing the language settings on his devices. This immersion allowed him to simulate living in an English-speaking environment.
    _Comprehensible Input:_ The speaker acknowledges a flaw in his approach, realizing the importance of comprehensible input for effective language learning. He suggests using tools like LingQ, which provide assisted reading of subtitles or transcripts, to enhance understanding before engaging with English media, thus optimizing the learning process.

      The best strategiesI have ever approached... And this is what I am doing nowadays and I have seen huge difference into myself... It really also changes mindset as well. I believe I will be doing it for a long period of time till I consume the language fully into my brain.

    1) repetitive listening - Podcast/Videos - listening “million times”
    2) switch your environment in your target language (switch computer etc in your target language)
    3) comprehensive input - idially a sentence should have one unknown word
    using for example linqQ

    Very inspiring! I just would like to add another tip: Speak to yourself and Read in aloud voice from time to time, to practice your speaking, in case you have nobody to speak to. This is what I still do every day, before starting my shift specially, because I self-taught myself, and my actual job is providing tech support over the phone. Of course I make a lot of mistakes, stupid people make fun of me here and there, but while haters are laughing, we are growing! So, let it be! Life is crazy! Let's keep going forward! 👊🤝👏👏

    Great video. One thing I've observed when it comes to acquiring a new language from others is the REPETATIVE LISTENING! Such an underrated tip that many "polyglots" on youtube seem to skip yet it is so vital. It even makes sense for us a children that always want to watch the same show or movie or listen to the same song over and over and over to the point they memorize words (I prefer the term 'syllable sequence'). I've also read and watched non-native english speakers who have learned english by watching the same shows and/or episodes over and over and over while supplementing with other new pieces of input. it just makes sense and I've been incorporating that in my language acquisition process (I have a couple of news broadcasts that are always on loop and crazy thing is, after about 2 weeks I started noticing repeating words (syllable sequences). The more I loop the more the 'fast' and 'incomprehensible' speech is starting to become more clear to me.

      if you can understand less than nearly 100% of every single piece of content you listen to (except for academic words ), i don't recommend start speaking now, your competency is not there yet.
      LISTEN more, more and more.
      Just consume as much content as you can for a cooker years, while practicing writing, find a way to activate your passive vocab ( writing ) so that when you transition to speaking you're in a better place.

      I do disagree with the above comment. If you have the chance to practice speaking, do so as much as you can and as early as you can. Speaking is a very different skill from writing, reading or comprehension. The earlier you begin practicing it the easier it will be down the line, and it's okay to make mistakes, because that is actually how you learn. Apart from consuming content, if you don't have anyone to practice speaking with, practice your pronunciation - you can record yourself for example.

    Hello my dear friend Lois Talagrand, good afternoon! Great this video, I liked it much! Congratulations for your work that you have done on RUclips. I could understand your speaking skill in English, about 80%. I admire your endowment. Greetings from Sonora, México 🇲🇽.

    Hey Lois!😊 First of all, your English is impressive!👏 I can imagine how much work and effort you must’ve put into getting to this level. Respect, brother!💪
    Secondly, I love that you emphasized what it actually takes to get to a very good level of English. I personally don’t agree with people who say that 10-15 minutes per day is enough. We both know that it takes a whole lot more than that, and not everyone is willing to devote those hundreds if not thousands of hours to become an amazing English speaker and use it effortlessly. Not many people realize the price of achieving this goal. I do. That’s why I have such huge respect for everyone who’s gotten to a very advanced level of a foreign language.💪
    Great job, man!👍 Keep sharing your experience.😊

    I recently discovered your RUclips channel and was impressed by your fluency in English, especially considering that you are a native French speaker. As a Japanese person born and raised in Japan, I am excited to see that you also speak Japanese and I am curious to learn more about your language learning method. I believe that your approach can help me improve my English skills as well.

    Thanks a lot. some notes about your video. Repetitive listening, choose the content that interests you. Switch life to English and become comprehensive to the content before learning. I did a lot of reading which actually improved my reading and vocabulary a lot, but my speaking and listening still can not be improved which troubles me quite a long time.

    I think it is also about self awareness. People have different kind of intelligence and some are very good at learning languages. On the other hand, some are good at mathematics or psychology. If you know your self you know what method suitable for you. At school , they teach you academic languages. Unfortunately, they are focusing too much on grammar and few hours every months won’t help you be fluency!
    Put yourself into the environment that forced you to speak. Learn whenever or whatever possible.
