"Hi ms Brittany, I'm curious, do you always speak this slowly when you're at home, or is this something you do specifically for your RUclips content to make it easier for everyone to follow along?😊😊
@@jokenglish-xu4ry I think that I generally speak somewhat slowly and clearly (compared to many other people) in my “real life” too 😄 but I do try to choose my words more carefully in my RUclips videos. And I’m very aware of the expressions and vocabulary that I use in my videos - not that I avoid using certain expressions/vocabulary, but I do try to say them more slowly or explain them if they are at an advanced level.
you can both talk fluently and be intermediate, so intermediate is good, don't complain and don't try to be perfect like a super human English speaker, go outside and start to speak with someone😀
Ich lerne Englisch seit anderthalb Jahren alleine durch anhören von Beiträgen auf RUclips, im Schnitt 1 Stunde am Tag. Davor kannte ich nur die einfachsten Fragen. Mache mir kein Stress mit lernen, wie ein Kind halt. Ich habe Dich fast zu 100% verstanden 😊. Danke für Deinen Beitrag..
My son has Down syndrome and has been undergoing speech therapy. I'm Korean and my husband is a native English speaker. My husband doesn't understand how my son feels when he avoids speaking, especially when he's asked to repeat sounds that he can't pronounce. Since English is my second language, I completely understand why my son tries to avoid pronouncing difficult sounds. As you said, he's struggling. While I don't think my son is going through the same experience as an ESL learner, I agree that "It's a struggle for kids," like many ESL learners who struggle to learn English for survival.
@@misunl74 Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m sure your son appreciates your ability to empathize with his avoidance of difficult sounds. I’m sure it makes the struggle a bit easier on him.
This is video is kind of motivational, and help us realize that nothing in life is perfect. I think we get overwhelmed quickly because nowadays we all just want everything as fast as posible, but think that native speakers had been practicing their entire life, you just can'tbe like them in 6 months. In these 7 months of living in US I've learn that English isn't necessarily studied, you just need force your brain to surround and even when you think you're not learning, believe me YOU ARE.
Everything you said is true. I got my C2 level in Italian (my second language) and I'm still learning. Actually, I'm still learning my first one! This is the most amazing thing about learning languages. You never can finish learning them. I agree about levels, too. Levels are labels, simplifications. One day you can feel like a B1, and another day like a C2. If I go to a hardware store, I'll probably feel like an A2 😅😂 Thank you for another video, it was so useful! Your child is a good teacher too (and he is super cute ❤)
this is very helpful for me as an adult language learning and I fel more relax into my language learning progression after heard this. Thank you for your videos, hope we can requiring more languages fast and effectifely with these tips!!
Thank you Brittany for sharing. It’s so helpful, plenty of useful information. I’m so happy I’ve come across this video, your observations and comments are so insightful. I’ve just been trying to have this Shoshin attitude. It’s really difficult for me because I feel that after all these years of studying , I should be much more fluent, especially in speaking.
I know it can feel really discouraging. I feel the same way about my own language learning! You probably have a much stronger foundation in English than you know, and you can use that to reach an advanced level - Try to find a way to practice that you enjoy and can do regularly ❤️
thanks for your video encouraging us to continue learn english. Yesterday or a day before (i cannot remember) , I dreamed about a man yelling at me in english that "Use what you have learned to speak, it is more than enough". He doesn't have perfect pronunciation but conveys his message without pausing. I think it is a reminder for my upcoming English learning.
I do appreciate the learning process from a child perspective, is the first time someone explain it as clear as you did. I have been learning English for quite few years and I am not fluent yet pushing me to stopping the process but now, thinking of what you just said here, I think I am on a right track and just need to keep going until a get the goal to fluency. I always tried to write comments in English to take the chance to practice a little. I do want to say THANKS from the bottom of my heart for sharing this video. I hope you and your beautiful family are doing well. 🇩🇴🇺🇸
I totally agree with you because I myself noticed some learning patterns that seemed to be irregular. e.g. some simple words and phrases might be challenging although I already have the ability to communicate complex ideas, while at the start of my journey I wasn't thinking about them and they seemed to arise spontaneously. I know how to handle this issue by just let things play around until they find their perfect way to settle.
Hi. I am 52 year old korean who started learning English when I was 13 yrs old. Unfortunatedly I have never finished yet. In Korea like other non English spoken countries, English learning has been mainly focused for specific purpose, college entrance exam. Soon after I graduated from high school , I realized that I had not learned English but trained to understand written English. Still I feel more comfortable with written English than spoken English. How can I re-activate my brain fuction once fully operational for language learning when I was a little kid. You know there is a simple rule " You don't use it you lose it". I undersood what you said in video without caption almost 90 percent but my spoken English is frustrating.
Hi there! It seems like you have an excellent base of English, especially written English. I would recommend focusing on doing daily exercises that strengthen your speaking skills. For example, shadowing, reading out loud, and recording yourself speaking for several minutes at a time about various topics in English. It also helps to continue listening to (a lot of) English every single day. Good luck! It’s never too late.
Thank you Brittany, I got to know a lot from your video. I always say, that speaking is the most important part about learning languages. And also I like to bring this comparison to children, how they learn to speak. They just start speaking doing mistakes, but then they get better and better. Once again, thank you for your very informative video.❤
Thank you very much for so wonderful RUclips 😅 I want to be a child. He has not hesitation , pride, ability of reading, grammar…but just has shoshin. This video gives me a ton of courage. Children don’t learn English straight, but the way with many struggle roads. This mailing is probably terrible , but please forgive me. I hope to watch your wonderful lessons 😊
So interesting!! it will help me to don`t feel frustrated when I make mistakes, and don`t feel fear everytime I got to say something in a foreign language
I've just realised that learning as a child it's one of the suitable way to learn a new language... English is my second language and I am enjoying to learn this language.
The video is a summary of all my thoughts and things that I struggle with. As a person who learned English at school and university and hadn’t practiced it for 7 years after graduation and now I have a formed personality it’s really hard to speak in English and feel foolish because you’re smart in your native language and have 2 degrees
Children still spend 4-5 years before they speak fluently and more native-like. They can just understand within a couple years when they are like 1-2 they have tons of input. So you shouldn’t be discouraged if it takes you a few years before you’re really speaking the language or understanding it around native level. If you can understand most conversational things in a couple years then you are already doing amazing. And in some ways you can do better than children in other languages like for writing or reading Asian languages for example, they don’t learn kanji in Japan until they are 7 years old and then only 80 characters that year, and around 1000 by end of elementary school. Sometimes learners of Japanese go backwards and learn how to read or all the common kanji before speaking the language 😂😂 it’s pretty funny but would also be impossible for a 2 year old to study that way. Adults sometimes have certain advantages. Also loan words, you already know thousands of words in other languages because of loan words. And are an expert of non verbal communication, there’s other ways you build up language or expressive communication skills over the years that can help too.
I resonated in many situations you mentioned, one of them was that, we rather keep in silent than talking , because of fear , we just want to sound perfect in the eyes of others , and I’ll acknowledge that , so you reminded me , It’s okay to not be perfect sometimes, so from now on, I’d rather no be perfect but try to convey the message, and then improve to do it better , I’ll take more from your video , so thank uuu❤
You mentioned the fact that I was thinking about for a while, sometimes I think I'm an advanced learner but there are times that I think i'm an intermediate student. I often get frustated by that. The reason is that I have a C1 level only in Reading and maybe Listening, but in the other two, the levels are lower. So, I have strengthnesses and weaknesses and this concept of learning not being a straight line helped me understand this process. Thanks for the video!
Little child as my Teacher in learning English language yeah More interesting, Exciting, Comfortable,pleasant,Funny,yeah Awesome Thank so much little child&Nice Mom😁❤️💋from BandunG
@@IkaAstuty-jl5vr oh yeah,thank you so much,i feel happy with your information,Nice hopefully success always &Not forget Greeting for all overthere👌👍❤️❤️❤️✌️ Godbless (BandunG/Ciumbuleuit/Rsu AURI/Indonesia)
I’m Japanese. I taught myself English for six years and got band 7 (C1) on IELTS speaking test last year. I studied Spanish and Chinese during covid and that’s when I was 20. Now that I know how to learn stuff at this age, I was optimistic that I still had plenty of time to become a polyglot. Four years have passed and I’m currently studying French but as I get older, I’ve found myself less satisfied with the consequences and my current self because I started becoming a perfectionist and realized that after six years of immersion in English, I’m still way too far from native speakers. I’ve become afraid of getting older and devoting my life to something specific to reach the goal which I might deprecate after all. Well, I know that’s not a waste of my time and I have to dedicate myself to learning French either way and yet, I assume some adults have the same concerns?
Greeting from Nicaragua , to be honest i love waching your video i got it and maybe i have been learning English like a children because l never have been in an academy. Thanks for all.
Me speaking English is not a hobby is necessary Cause I understand the people better. I try to speak good for many years. I tried to listen listen listen listen every day every day English I will read the book. Listen the boat watching TV. I do whatever to improve my English.
Thank you so much!! Amazing video, again!!.. that was very inspiring and motivating. If I may, I’d like to suggest a subject for further video (related to this one): how to raise bilingual kids.
Thank you for your kind words! I would love to make a video about raising bilingual kids (not that I am an expert but I have done a lot of research on the topic and I find it very interesting!). However, I'm not sure how many others would be interested in it! I'll see how I can make it work :D Thanks again so much!
This video is impressive! especially the part taking ur child for example. We all thought it's easy for kids to learn a new language but i think this might be wrong when i saw ur child saying "i goed" which is an easy grammar rule for English learners. So i'm wondering if the textbook is a right way to learn a language. Textbooks usually teach u simplified language which never appears in daily life talks
Thank you! I think textbooks can be useful in some ways but children don’t use them to learn how to speak or understand their first languages. I think watching my son has shown me just how important it is to listen (a lot) and also to attempt to speak (and makes mistakes) much more than we may think 🙂
I loved this lesson becase i recently move to a contry when people speack english , even i studed in my country this have been a big challenge for me, i can say that many time it is dificult because i frutated when i made mistake and alson when i am treating to be perfect and the same time i am full of insegurities, since today i will be like a child , without fear to make mistake 😊
Love how you mentioned about survival though. That’s really clever, it’s easy to get lazy as adults especially when we have limited energy or many obligations that get in the way. But would be cool to zone in and then think I gotta survive in this language only for 30 mins now! Or do more drills like that ❤️🔥 I’m gonna torture myself like that in some languages soon. Thanks!
Your son is lucky that he will learn two languages from his parents, reminded me of my childhood when my mother taught me Turkish and my father taught me Arabic 😅.. But right now, I'm learning English on my own, maybe you'll be credited like Mom and Dad with teaching me English.
Easily why the kids can speak fluently than an adult as non - native due to the kids have blank words. Like a clean paper. Imagine likes an adult to ilustrate. An adult has many notes with their own language. We know a book in english as not a book word in our language. We know a fork in english as not a fork in our language. We all fully of memories about the words we already have since we were kids. IF we are the kids. We just know a book as a book not translate into other language. It is easily to give name something without knowing their named before. That is my point of view. But the kids who born in english speaking country , they barely speak two languages like we are. I can speak 3 languages. My regional language where i was born, indonesia language as job or formal situations, and english as fun.
The topic in this video totally fits to me. I've been learning English for eight years though, I believe toddlers in English speaking countries speak English much more fluent than I do. Maybe I need to learn like them.
Based on your comment, I’m SURE your English is better than my toddler’s 😊 It’s just that he has certain skills such as understanding fast, connected speech (if the vocabulary is at his level) and an advantage with pronunciation… plus all the mindset advantages that I discussed here. The perfect learning scenario, in my opinion, would be to adopt the mindset of a child while using our adult intelligence and experience! 🤩
Great video!! One of the best explanations of how children learn languages. IMO I think the biggest advantage that kids have is immersion (which was one of your talking points). -- Yes, ~4K hours of face time per year in their target language is HUGE. Just think if an adult had that kind of language exposure. One thing I'm confused about is your saying "speaking fluently like a child"? I guess maybe it depends on your definition of "fluent", because I just spent some time with my 5-year-old nieces -- I guess you can say a 5-year-old is fluent (great pronunciation like you said) -- but a 5-year old's vocab is pretty bad (maybe around ~5K words) compared to an adult's vocab. So sometimes I have a problem saying a young child is "fluent" -- just because of the severe lack of vocab as compared to a native adult speaker. Yeah -- don't know the terminology -- maybe you can say "fluent for their age"? or something like that. I guess I just have a problem saying "fluent" when someone's vocab is limited.
Hi! Yes, whether or not a child can be called *fluent* will certainly depend on our definition of fluency -- and there are many! Cognitive abilities play into this a lot too (a child can't conceive of certain concepts yet, and therefore can't yet learn the vocabulary for those concepts, etc.). Yes, maybe "fluent for their age" would be a better way to say it :) Thanks for your thoughts on this!
This was an amazing information to encourage the people to continue and not give up!!! I knew this already but you did it that concisely and convincingly !!! Great job!! By the way , you’re very beautiful 🤗🇷🇺
What a lovely question! You must be a good teacher :) Hmm... I'm not sure if I would say these are books that EVERY teacher should read, just because every teacher and every student/classroom is so different. Lots depends on the focus of the course, etc. But I have personally benefitted a lot from books such as the one I mentioned in this video (How Languages are Learned by Lightbown & Spada) and here are a few others: Teaching American English Pronunciation (Avery & Ehrich); Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Freire); anything by Paul Nation on vocabulary teaching; any of the Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers... anything on identity and language learning (Bonny Norton), gosh there are just too many! Ha, sorry! Hopefully you can find some in a library so it won't be too expensive! Google Scholar is a good resource for many academic papers too, which can sometimes be available for free!
happy you that born in the area to prepare all something basically, unfortunately some people's like me always effort to arrive the your least level 😢 . many possibilities are provided for you while we have to work hard to can get them. I hope I could send my mean because my English is bad ❤

I hear you. It can be very frustrating. Perhaps the magic happens when we embrace feeling foolish, and this isn't easy.

Your son is lucky that he will learn two languages from his parents, reminded me of my childhood when my mother taught me Turkish and my father taught me Arabic 😅.. But right now, I'm learning English on my own, maybe you'll be credited like Mom and Dad with teaching me English.
@@user-xd1pr9he8m I’ll try my best to be as good as your mom and dad! 😄😄❤️
Very good your class of inglês Nice your kids learn inglês
You’re so right !
this video helps my mindset of english!! thanks
Easily why the kids can speak fluently than an adult as non - native due to the kids have blank words. Like a clean paper. Imagine likes an adult to ilustrate. An adult has many notes with their own language. We know a book in english as not a book word in our language. We know a fork in english as not a fork in our language.
We all fully of memories about the words we already have since we were kids. IF we are the kids. We just know a book as a book not translate into other language. It is easily to give name something without knowing their named before. That is my point of view.
But the kids who born in english speaking country , they barely speak two languages like we are. I can speak 3 languages. My regional language where i was born, indonesia language as job or formal situations, and english as fun.
The topic in this video totally fits to me.
I've been learning English for eight years though, I believe toddlers in English speaking countries speak English much more fluent than I do. Maybe I need to learn like them.
Based on your comment, I’m SURE your English is better than my toddler’s 😊
It’s just that he has certain skills such as understanding fast, connected speech (if the vocabulary is at his level) and an advantage with pronunciation… plus all the mindset advantages that I discussed here.
The perfect learning scenario, in my opinion, would be to adopt the mindset of a child while using our adult intelligence and experience! 🤩

Great video!! One of the best explanations of how children learn languages. IMO I think the biggest advantage that kids have is immersion (which was one of your talking points). -- Yes, ~4K hours of face time per year in their target language is HUGE. Just think if an adult had that kind of language exposure.
One thing I'm confused about is your saying "speaking fluently like a child"? I guess maybe it depends on your definition of "fluent", because I just spent some time with my 5-year-old nieces -- I guess you can say a 5-year-old is fluent (great pronunciation like you said) -- but a 5-year old's vocab is pretty bad (maybe around ~5K words) compared to an adult's vocab. So sometimes I have a problem saying a young child is "fluent" -- just because of the severe lack of vocab as compared to a native adult speaker. Yeah -- don't know the terminology -- maybe you can say "fluent for their age"? or something like that. I guess I just have a problem saying "fluent" when someone's vocab is limited.
Hi! Yes, whether or not a child can be called *fluent* will certainly depend on our definition of fluency -- and there are many! Cognitive abilities play into this a lot too (a child can't conceive of certain concepts yet, and therefore can't yet learn the vocabulary for those concepts, etc.).
Yes, maybe "fluent for their age" would be a better way to say it :) Thanks for your thoughts on this!
I learned many many things from you , really think you and continue ❤❤❤
You are a very deep thinker.......nice research

Hey, Brittany! Could you provide some recommendations for must-reading books every English teacher should have?
What a lovely question! You must be a good teacher :) Hmm... I'm not sure if I would say these are books that EVERY teacher should read, just because every teacher and every student/classroom is so different. Lots depends on the focus of the course, etc.
But I have personally benefitted a lot from books such as the one I mentioned in this video (How Languages are Learned by Lightbown & Spada) and here are a few others: Teaching American English Pronunciation (Avery & Ehrich); Pedagogy of the Oppressed (Freire); anything by Paul Nation on vocabulary teaching; any of the Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers... anything on identity and language learning (Bonny Norton), gosh there are just too many! Ha, sorry!
Hopefully you can find some in a library so it won't be too expensive! Google Scholar is a good resource for many academic papers too, which can sometimes be available for free!
@@EnglishwithBrittany thank you so much! I'll look for all of those
