Watching this as a native English speaker (for general language-learning advice). Very interesting observations - especially about the connected words. I never really thought about "how" we do that. Your English is really, really good by the way. I would have taken you for a native. Well done.
Thank you so much! It is indeed interesting how adult learners of any language have to break down something natives do automatically :) That's exactly why being a native speaker doesn't automatically make you a good language teacher
💪you do great Anyone's teacher is a facilitator. It's a good thing to have someone you can trust your primary steps into the unknown language. But noone will learn it for you. So, it's a marathon. Just begin and enjoy🙏💙💛🌅
Dipping back in here after watching your videos with a sense of awe for sometime. Definitely a little less South African sounding and now very, very close to native southern English in terms of accent, to the extent I think it is only very, very subtle things that someone might pick up on that might make them think you weren't native English. Or that you'd lived abroad for sometime. But very subtle.
Inna, what would you advice for people who are advanced in English but lack speaking practice? I would imply that my level is B2 or C1 but since I lack speaking practice I feel that my progress could be better. I read a lot, listen a lot, even pick up the vocabulary but in rare cases when I do have an opportunity to speak English I know I would have done way better had I had speaking practice before. Are there any excercises that I could do at home to at least imitate some speaking practices? Problems given in the textbooks are too easy. Thank you!
I know exactly what you're talking about! Very similar to my situation with German. Unfortunately, there is no sulver bullet. In order to be able to SPEAK, you need to SPEAK. Speaking to yourself helps, too. You can record your thoughts in the language in the voice recording app on your phone for example, or talk to AI :) However, I would really recommend using websites like conversationexchange or italki and talk to real people.
Thanks for the video! I did vocabulary test (1st link) but it didn’t show me how many words (approximately) i know. It only showed the percentage of level(2000 words - level 1). Is it wrong or I just don’t know how to use it 🤔
Yes, you're right. On this webpage you can only see approximately how many words (words families) you know passively. You're not going to see how many words you know exactly (and that would be impossible to assess) but you can gauge it by checking how many correct answers you have in each section. For example, if you did everything correctly in the 2000 and 3000 sections, but only part of the 5000 section, you can estimate your vocabulary size at around 4000 word families. That's just an estimation of course, because no vocabulary test could tell you exactly how many words you know. I would also say the test might underestimate your knowledge or be mistaken because it's made for native speakers rather than learners
@@innainenglish I honestly would’ve thought you’re native English speaker from U.K. just based on this video alone , Looking forward to hearing your story behind it , fascinating
Hello, Inna! Will you have after new year phonetical course? At the moment I am overloaded and busy with my paper works. Would love to participate in 2025 😍🥰🙏
Hi Neyna! Yes, but the topic is going to be different. I'm planning to cover a number of topics (12 to be precise) in a series of pronunciation crash courses. I will roughly do one crash course a month, but the topic is going to be different every time. You can have a look at all the future topics on the roadmap on my website: inamez.de/sentence-stress
OMG there is action in your video, this sponsoring definitely worth it... *dancing too* :D Just kidding, all your videos were perfect, I'm here for your experience and tips not for the video content.
Hi, Inna! What do you think about Old English sources? I've started to play Final Fantasy XIV not a long time ago but dialogues there use a lot of Old English words like 'thy', 'thee', 'thou' etc. You're telling that we should read/watch/listen a bit more higher than current level. So, should I focus on this Old / Middle English to improve it or I should focus more on modern one? From Russia. With love :)
Depends on what you'd like to achieve! When I talk about fluency, I always mean modern spoken English. I don't see any value in Old English for myself, in terms of teaching, career prospects, networking etc. But that's just me and you may have a completely different idea of what kind of English you want to speak
The reason you speak much better than most of the people is because your German for others for example like Indians it’s impossible to sound like native speaker just like u sound
Yeah I've been told that, multiple times! I wonder whether it's not an Australian accent that you and the other people hear but rather that my accent is a bit odd and you just can't place it. Anyway, I'm totally fine with it :) I don't speak and don't strive to speak with a British accent
@@AFM515 no offence, no hard feelings - where did that come from? nothing against the aussie accent! just would have never thought her accent was like that.
You screwed up😂 It's possible! If you can't able to talk any individual person at home you can use chatgpt..listen podcast or this kinda english video from yt.. If you're a good listener you would be a good speaker.. I guess I'm an example,I've learnt english at home.
@@innainenglish to be immersed into English speaking environment. To learn English at home on your own for future use might work for 5% of people, for the rest it is just a waste of time and money. Unless it is just for pleasure or fun.
Красиво стелишь канеш, но это явно это достигнуто большим кол-вом времени в среде или платными занятиями с нейтивами . На одних сериальчиках и приложухах для общения с иностранцами не уедешь
@@Gregoria_80 ага ты же свечку держала 🤣, она явно что-то не договаривае, да и мы не знаем всех обстоятельств. Да и что значит " выучила ' , это как ? Сомневаюсь что ты также идеально как она звучишь без ошибок и акцента (хоть и ее британский акцент фейково звучит но не суть).
@@letshigh99My accent ( or its absence) can be heard in the songs on my channel. Having said that, I haven't said that I sound perfect like Inna does. Moreover, I prefer American accent to a British one. Inna is 100% right: speaking fluently and without accent is possible without expensive tutors or living in an English -speaking country. Period. You russians are so rude and impolite.

Such a pretty young woman! Love your English and your approach in learning. Thanks for a free pdf. Good luck!

I appreciate that!
I love that accent 😍. Regards from Spain.

Thank you Greg! Although I don't have it as a goal to sound exactly like native speakers, I must admit it's still nice to hear :)
Inna, your videos are always so inspiring ❤
Wow fantastic, from Bangladesh
I really needed a video like this. Thank you Inna for all the reccomendations and the pdf, I really appreciate it 🙂

How did you get this beautiful accent ? ❤
Thank you! Well it's a long story of course. I promise I'll make another video about that! Probably sometime in December.
how did you get British accent ?
I wouldn't say it's 100% British, but I promise I'll make another video about it soon :)

Inna is from Belarus, she’s not German.

Hello guys, I'm learning english by myself I'm from Brazil if someone wants to pratice with me let me know
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You sound fluent but Aussie
Edited to say that's not a bad thing
... Aussies are more popular than Brits these days 😂
Are you qualified enough to bluntly state that?
@@roos3013 fascinating how you're offended by this. Do you have a problem with the Australian accent?
Native English speaker. Northern hemisphere.

British accent)
I find it dishonest to let your viewers believe they can reach this level of fluency by just practicing English at home. That's simply not true.
I'm fluent and I learned by practicing "at home". Using sitcoms by the way, because youtube didn't exist back then.
@@F_Bardamu What else do you think someone who wants to reach fluency should do?
You screwed up😂
It's possible! If you can't able to talk any individual person at home you can use chatgpt..listen podcast or this kinda english video from yt..
