    Personally, I would add that immigration helps you to understand the importance of your family and how valuable the time you spend with your love ones.

    Your accent is a key part of you and shows how hard you've worked to learn English. You should be extremely proud of yourself! My partner also struggles with "sounding foreign" but I'm super proud of them .

    Great lessons, not sure that all of them are linked to immigration, but it's a really good list to just rethink and check if you learned them during your course of life )))) Thank you for sharing )))
    I plan to move to Canada in the nearest year (it has been my purpose for the last 7 years or so now) and before that I moved to another country (I have lived here for almost two years) and I would say that I've made a couple of interesting observations.
    My main lesson is that when moving countries, you need to be open-minded and try to adopt local mentality. It's better to prepare yourself beforehand if possible. Search the internet, watch some documentaries, read local news, see what those who came before you say about the culture. Because if you aren't able to do this - it will be hard to live there. Also, be open-minded, but keep in mind that sometimes (if you change countries in your 30s, for example), the local mentality just may not be for you - that's possible too.

    Smiled a lot while watching, as I could somewhat relate to lots of the points you made.
    I moved to a big city during high school time (17yo), my only concern was to blend in & make friends, so I failed the final exams. the next year, I thought I could and should do better, so I took some private tutoring lessons during the first 2 months, which gave me the push I needed, and so I graduated with a pretty good score.
    Right now I am hoping to get a job offer in Canada, and in my dreams my first car is a Mazda3 , while the ultimate would be a german car ; a Mercedes . however a house would be a miracle :)
    Thanks, and keep up the good content

  • @skatingcanuck9837
    @skatingcanuck9837 Год назад

    Your accent is part of your story. Your accent is strong enough that I can tell neither of you were born here, but mild enough to show that you have gained a complete and educated understanding of the English accent. I was surprised to learn you are originally from Russia because your accent is very mild and all the other Russians I've met in Canada have had thick accents. I think you both speak English more properly than a lot of lifelong Canadians. I think both your accents sound nice and they intrigue me - they make me want to know more about your life stories.

    Nice talk, at that age i was still in school grew up in grey decade in Poland (90s) with only option go work abroad (netherlands). You speak so fast now , after what time you get that good accent? Here is same is not correct as you ask for help ;) but not always :)

    • @MakeThatChange

      I still have an accent! it took me probably about 5 years to get more or less fluent on vocabulary and slang, and the accent just gets fixed naturally when all you do all day is speak English with Anglophones. You just want to pay attention at your own pronunciation and want to get better.

    When I was 19, I immigrated to the US. I thought about staying there but returned to my country. Due to that, I felt like I was unwelcome. Now I want to move to eighter Europe or Canada because I can't withstand my country due to how hard it is to find ileven the most simple job. Can we possibly speak directly on Zoom so I can finalize my choice. If you have a calling service, I will be happy to speak. Let me know thanks

    At 19, I was in the middle of failing out of engineering school. Then, I did my own sort of immigration within Canada and left the island of Newfoundland and moved to "the mainland" of Canada. I lived in Ontario and Alberta for a while until I eventually moved back home to Newfoundland. It was at this time that I first experienced negativity directed towards me because of where I come from. Newfoundlanders have a reputation in Canada of being dumb, inbred, heavy drinkers, and we move to your neighbourhood and steal you jobs. I'm not gonna lie, some of this is true! :p I was just really surprised by how much being a Newfoundlander would effect the way people interacted with me in my own Country.
