Thanks for the video ❤
"Keep making videos like this; it really helps us to understand English better, I swear."
I’m glad to hear that!
15/20. Thank you, I’ve never heard the word “a catch 22” before.
The novel is hilarious! Start reading now
Same here! 😅
Not me either 😅
It's an reference to a book by Joseph Heller by the same name. It's about pilots who go on almost suicidal bomber missions in WW2.
You are the best teacher in all languages, Mr. Brian. We love you and support you forever ⚜️♥️
That's very kind, thank you!
Native English speaker here: I took the test as I was curious to see what you regarded as must-know criteria in order to be accurately classified in the aforementioned categories. The only one I didn't get right was the question which in my opinion had more to do with knowing proper body anatomy than it did with actual knowledge of English itself (I had no idea where the hell my own femur bones were located lol!). However, I thought that the other questions, such as sentence rearrangements, determining the proper word order, plurals questions and preposition choices were more of an accurate bellwether to successfully tell people what they need to know about their own distinct levels.
P.S: I should add that many native speakers would get many of these wrong due to not knowing the proper rules behind things like contractions (your/you're), plurals such as "phenomena" or "criteria", spelling and even conjugating the more "obscure" irregular verbs out there. But great test overall, hope my feedback helps and doesn't come off as arrogant.
Thanks very much for your feedback! And yes, I think most native speakers would get 1 or 2 of these wrong... I did my best to cover a variety of different topics and means of comprehension, but some of the information is a bit technical (like the question you mentioned).
@@BrianWilesLanguages Thank you for your reply! I think you're an awesome language learner, and you always come up with interesting video ideas! Respect :)
I'm pretty sure knowing that the femur is the largest bone is just common sense, are you by any chance American
@@BrianWilesLanguages Isn't femur technically a Latin word? Just trying to keep it honest. Your videos are great.
Most native speakers are stupid. As a native speaker I shake my head at people who consider themselves natives
Well I didn't know that I'm at the Fluent level 😎
Thx teacher Brian👏🏼 a lot love sent from 🇵🇸🇵🇸 to you ♥️
Congrats! And love to 🇵🇸 as well ❤️
❤️🇵🇸🇵🇰
hope you make more videos like this, i learned more things in less than thirty minutes than in my whole year of high school. brian the best teacher!!
Thanks a lot, and I’m glad it was helpful!
You are absolutely rocking your explanation. I love how you explain all the options as well. Many thanks, and keep inspiring all passionate students.
Thanks so much, Terezia!
وحشتنا قوي يا براين فين فيديوهاتك بالعربي
3/4 Of people who use English in the world are not natives. Its not necessary to have advanced level of english because key is clear communication. When I started using English in practice I noticed that I was using too many strange words and I realized that I need to stop using them and simplify my way of speaking as much as I can because not everybody will understand fancy words I was using.
Wise words, good advice!
18/20 thanks for boosting my confidence. I haven't actively done anything for my English for ages...
Improving my listening here with you from Brazil.
16/20 thanks mate 🎉
We need more of this vidz once in a while to assess our proficiency level 😊
I shared your video with my English literature group chat and they really liked it
Thank you very much, and I’m glad they liked it 👍
Yeah i am very happy ❤️😂
It's 14 ❤️
I'm fluent 💃💃
Thank you Brian ❤
"Notwithstanding" it has been more than a year that I last brushed up on my english, I found 17 out of 20. And it didnt seem that much of complicated in fact.
The best regands from Uzbekistan!
Thank you very much ❤❤❤
I'm Egyptian..🇪🇬🇪🇬♥️♥️
Well,Brian, I scored 16/20 on your HARDEST English test. Thanks. Larry Carroll
I answered 19/20 but idk.... I feel like they're too easy especially cuz u said 16/20 and up is native level.... I'm definitely not native level 💀
I think he meant 18/20
But that still makes u a native lol
Can you help me please

Because u don’t practice your language u just study grammar maybe
Maybe you're a grammar geek 😅
15/20. I've never heard " a catch-22" before! 🙃
The book is good. There was also a movie.
New subscriber !! You’re such a wonderful teacher.
I’m from 🇲🇽 and English is my favorite language , I can handle a conversation but I need more vocabulary, so I can used synonyms.
I hope you enjoyed the test- how did it go?? As a reminder:
[8/20] - Advanced Level
[12/20] - Fluent Level
[18/20] - Native Level
I answered 16 questions..And believe it or not Brian, I'm an English self taught.. Best regards from Cairo ❤❤
@@randaabdelrahim8184 oh... nice
Fellow Egyptian here
Brian Wiles I'm Egyptian studying Japanese I already know how to introduce myself I learned hiragana and Katakana and I need to know what apps and text books and podcasts I should use and I use anki for vocab and I'm trying to find to learn grammar and kanji and vocab and pls reply and I like your videos
@@Louai9815I’ve actually got a video about learning Japanese coming out in the next few days 👍
@@randaabdelrahim8184Great job!
Thanks for the lesson, Brian.😊
Thanks for watching!
As a native German speaker, I got 16/20.
Your videos are very easy to understand though, I usually start to struggle when watching videos from or speaking with people speaking fast or with some heavy dialect or accent. Do you have any tips how to improve on that?
thanks alot Brian, you are great. I'm following you from Iraq. Mosul city 🇮🇶🇮🇶
Thank you, Abdullah 🙏
I got 8/20, I am really proud of this result 🎉... Q: What the difference between horror and fear ?..isnt it the same meaning 😅?
They are close- but ‘fear’ is an emotion, and ‘horror’ is a concept. You can have a fear of heights, but not a horror of heights. You can watch a horror film, but not a fear film.
I didn't expect that but I got 14 out of 20!
There were some expressions i had never heard before but some other questions were more accessible.
Thanks for your test, it has definitely boosted my confidence and my motivation !
"Pull up" can also refer to when someone arrives somewhere in their car, usually in front of a building. Like, "I pulled up to the In-n-Out drive thru window," or the song lyric "Ok I pull up, hop out at the afterparty" (exclusive to capybaras)
13/20 😃 i did not know I'm that fluent 🤗
Great job!
Fantastic! well done, your videos are just very useful.. thank you
I am 14 out of 20😢
BTW Thank you mr.brian learned some new things today 😊😊😊
شكرا يا برين على الفديو ده ربنا يباركك☦️✝️
شكرا يا براين انا عديت الامتحان بنجاح انا استمتعت جدا بالفيديو شكراااااااا ❤❤
13/20 I honestly thought i would get more right, but this was humbling, Here are my answers:
1❌ 2 only got “sheep”
3✅
4 with my laptop lighting looked more light pink than beige, i’m only realizing this as I’m commenting from my phone now.
5 doesn’t sound right it’s like the sentence started midway! Idk maybe bc i’m not native
6 got 1,3
7 ✅ 8✅ 9✅ 10✅
I chose “A” because it sounded right not because i knew the adjectives order rule.
11 got 1,2
12 ✅ 13✅
14 ✅ 15 ✅ 16 ✅ 17 ✅ 18 ✅ 19 ❌ 20 ✅
THANK YOU BRAIN
Got 14/20. Thank you. Honestly speaking, I don't consider myself fluent, not even advanced :)
Great job!
Brian, can you upload a video on how to learn the French language? I am Abdullah and I have been following you since 2021. Greetings to you
The best video please continue 🙏❤
17/20 I guess it's not a bad score for a second language speaker😅
create a whole video telling how u learned arabic. Unrelated to this video but i really want it!
14/20
Now, this is a high-quality test. Thank you.
Thank you- and great job getting 14 👍
Im frkm egypt and i can say for sure I'm not fluent but I'm glad i answered 13/20
That’s great work!
20/20....🎉
I've never know that you're an English teacher. I've always thought you're mostly an actor and a language lover.
Wow amazing score!
@@BrianWilesLanguages known*
@@BrianWilesLanguages BTW Brian, as an Egyptian American. I can tell you that you're more Egyptian than many Egyptian Americans😉🤫😂
I think the Egyptian government should give you an immediate, unconditional citizenship
Woooow I love this kind of videos Thank you so much 🙏🙏
So glad!
Excellent/Perfect score. Danish is my native language, and I also speak French, German, and Swedish fluently.
I scored 10/20
I think it's good
شكرا لك
I answered 12 😅 some questions were pretty new to me , thank you so much I've learned new information from your video ❤
Great job! And thank you 🙏
اشتاقينالك يا براين
راح احاول أتكلم باللغة العربية الفصحى
أنا من العراق وواتمنى ان تزور العراق لأنه يشبه مصر في كل شيء تقريباً لو تمشيت في شوارع العراق سوف تشعر كأنك في شوارع مصر جرب ولو لمرة وحدة تأتي إلى العراق لكن في العراق الجو حار لان درجات الحرارة ممكن ان تصل إلى اكثر من ٥٥ درجة مئوية ف لازم تحذر وتجيب ملابس صيفية ، وايضاً في العراق الكثير من الوجهات السياحية والتاريخية ، أتمنى ان تزور العراق 🇮🇶 وتحياتي
We miss you, Brian
I will try to speak classical Arabic
I am from Iraq and I hope that you will visit Iraq because it resembles Egypt in almost everything. If you walk in the streets of Iraq, you will feel as if you are in the streets of Egypt. Try even once when you come to Iraq, but in Iraq it is hot because the temperatures can reach more than 55 degrees Celsius. You must be careful and bring summer clothes, and Iraq also has many tourist and historical destinations. I hope you will visit Iraq 🇮🇶 and my regards
And maybe my English language not very good because I’m just 12
And thank you💕
❤ 18 out of 20.
Non native English language Teacher.
I answered 10/20 but my real English level intermediate 😊 thank you
14/20
I have an advanced grammar exam tomorrow and I’m a little bit encouraged ❤
Hey Brian, hope you are doing great. I have found 17 correct answers out of 20.
How do you evaluate my English?
I would say your English is probably advanced, but there’s also room for improvement 👍
@@BrianWilesLanguages Thanks a bunch for your response, Brian!
I answered 17/20. However, I think it wasn't so much challenging as it was a piece of cake.❤
Thank you
Thanks for watching!
if one answers right the questions by chance or without understanding why they get them right, I think it's absurd because that way one is never going to learn why it has to be like that, I personally knew some of them and got some others by chance and that's why I consider I should keep on studying
Please continue
I wish you would make a video about the general knowledge test. I would appreciate it.
Great idea- I’ll look into it ✅
16/20 (though I only missed maintenance (6) and ground (11), for two more points. And I was sloppy with the plurals, I just thought "sheep is sheep" so I didn't really stop to think the others😅)
I scored 17!
I got number 10 right not because i knew ghe grammar logic behind it(as I never really studied the concept in depth), but because it just sounded right to say. The other options felt weird coming out of my mouth. I guess that's thanks to my years of practising speaking English with my mom. And no, I'm definitely not a native speaker 😂. I'm also only 21
Nice, congrats!
yes, sometimes intuition can be a good way to.
I'm probably advanced, but no way I'm considered fluent getting 12 correct answers
You might be better than you think…
This video makes learning english easier than others
I’m glad you liked it!
13/20
Thank You
Great job
1st question is literally 8th grade level grammar in American schools
(I’m an English native)
Yes, I’d say that’s right. And native English-speaking 8th graders are highly fluent!
@@BrianWilesLanguages really, that’s crazy how fluent some people can get in another language
I got 13 😂am i really fluent?
Even at 1.5 playback speed, too easy. IMO. Yet enjoyable!😊
Try the new vocab test!
@@BrianWilesLanguagesone word that I hear mispronounced consistently is "supposedly"! It's NOT "supposably"! I'd love for you to address that at some point!! It might help educate a lot of people!! Thanks!
There are two grammatical errors in question 12 , the second being the use of a comma instead of a semicolon to separate two independent clauses. The comma should come after the conjunction, and.
#20 Fear is normal and can be healthy. A phobia is not just fear, but an intense and irrational one.
Re: Q12- While one could use either a semi-colon or a comma to separate the clauses (both are correct here)- placing a comma after the conjunction would be an error. An (Oxford) comma could come before the final ‘and’- but this is a stylistic choice that I’ve chosen not to make.
And yes, ‘phobia’ does literally mean an intense fear- but I think ‘fear’ gets the point across.
I'm definitely non native although, I answered 18/20 😂
But for real I answered 2 of them by exclusion 😅
Thanks Brian, you are a great teacher ❤
Thanks!
Thanks alot
Could we pause the video while answering or not
If you’d like a more accurate score- it’s better not to pause 👍
Please have Turkish subtitles 😊❤😊❤
Your Knowledge and Coolness🥶 made me subscribe your channel 😂
Love You Brian❤ and full support to you!
Although being a non-native I scored 15/20 but the incorrect one were explained by you very well 😊
Nice work 👌
I got 16/20 but I am nowhere near native level, I guess there were some answers which I knew just because my native language is similar to some of those, like mby 3 qs
nice 👍 thank you 👍
Hello Mr. Brian, I recently discovered your channel, and it is very useful for me. I took this test and scored 10 points. I think there is still a lot for me to learn. Thank you. 🌹from Algeria 🇩🇿

14/20. Am I the only one who find this test easier than expected?
I got 17/20 but I think the sentence “This afternoon, Alex wants to buy shoes” is correct, no?
Yes, that would also be correct 👍
Thenk teacher ❤😊❤😊
Thank you for watching, and I hope you enjoyed it!
Wow! I got 20 out 20. Then again I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I watched this because I was bored.

13/20 From Morocco 🇲🇦.
But i'm not considered myself that fluent in english.
this worke is very good, thank you
Thanks for watching 👍
Man, I'm really proud of myself for answering 16 questions correctly.
Fantastic work!
I answered almost 13, and that surprised me because my eng is not that good ,i am definitely not fluent😅 ,but some questions like name of color and fruit is the same we have in my arabic dilect
13 correct answers honestly and 2 correct answers by luck 🤭🤭 any way I'm fluent 🎉❤ and so happy to be. thx for real 🙏❤
Really nice 👍
14 outta 20😛 but also plus 2 of them I partly answered correctly
💪💪
any another native speakers watching this?
5/20That is I don't now nathing😢 Thanks a lot❤
Keep practicing and you’ll get there!
Funny how I got 16 out of 20 because:
I couldn't calculate (I studied computer science 😂- how the hell did I calculate 21? I'm normally good at mental arithmetic 😂). However, given that there's no question 15, I will deduct a point for you too 😉
I didn't know that THAT was the color beige. I always perceived it as a bit more yellow than that and I didn't know the color cobalt (well I knew the word, just never saw the color). Fun fact, beige is also the name of that color in my native language (Dutch).
I didn't know about femur.
I couldn't think of "but for", I'd understood it though when I heared it.
The time pressure was stressing me out.
Haha fair point about q15!
My only issue is with the first question. It's not an issue with you, but an issue with how English is constructed in this case.
Because yes, in the case of showing the dog's possession of something, we would remove the apostrophe. But you might have noticed the apostrophe I chose to use in the last sentence is _also_ correct, as in the apostrophe of ownership ("that is my mother's car", "it had been Peter's pen all along" etc)
So im forever getting in my own head when it's like _"you know there's no apostrophe in this form of its because i want to show possession"_ then the angel on my other shoulder chimes in with _"possession!? Then why aren't we using the apostrophe of possession!?_
And i have always found that to be quite a silly mechanism of the written word.
It's certainly a quirk of the English language!
😅thanke you ❤❤
i've answered just 2/20😭😭😭😭😭😭i am not good in english why i have to learn more can you teach us more and more we need you you need us
16.6/21
Bro i have issues with learn french and developing my english at the same time, any solution pls?

@@BrianWilesLanguages alright thx means a lot💗
Almost native level 😅😅 I got 15/20.
