I’m American and I’m trying to learn German, but I don’t want to have an accent. I’ve been watching many “How I Learned English” videos trying to find someone who doesn’t have an accent so that I can copy their method and use it for German. You’re literally the only one I could find that sounds 100% American. Thank you so much for making in this video! I’ll definitely be using your advice to learn German.

You speak/sound like u were born here. For someone who started learning English age 14, this is remarkable. I know ppl in my family who arrived to the USA around age 14, 15 and still struggle with fluency and get their thoughts across clearly. Amazing

in brief:
In this video, the speaker shares their journey of learning English to a native speaker level before moving to the US from Russia at the age of 17.
They started learning English at 14 and set a specific goal of speaking English like an American.
The speaker realized they needed to create a comfortable, natural environment for learning English, so they started doing their hobbies in English and switched all their devices to English.
They also applied a three-point system (learn, try, and do it yourself) to learning and practiced speaking English with others online or even talking to themselves.

Additionally, the speaker studied American culture, watching movies, and analyzing people's communication styles.
As a result, they felt prepared and comfortable when they arrived in the US.
The speaker encourages others to try the methods they used, as they believe they can work for anyone who wants to learn English.

Веня, у тебя реально крутейший уровень языка. Не отличить от носителя, от американца. Спасибо за то, что делишься своим опытом.
Только уважение!

OMG I can’t believe it! You started an English channel! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 I’ve been waiting for this since I’ve started following you and Marina 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[hijrah]

Cant believe i watched this without subtitle 😭😭

[SimingLan]

yes, the whole point of learning to talk like a native speaker is to make it a part of your identity :)

[JDyzzle]

My native language is English, and I’m learning Japanese. I enjoy watching language learning videos occasionally regardless of the person’s native and target language. The part about treating your target language as your native language and staying relaxed very much related to. As I become overwhelmed by Japanese easily to the point of experiencing headaches that make me unable to continue. I’ve needed to listen to videos in Japanese while consciously making an an effort to relax to be able to absorb nearly anything.

zero mystery or any "secret sauce"
step one : move to the country where the language is spoken natively to study/work in the desired lang environment 24/7
step two: drop your other languages almost completely, leave mb 1-2 hrs a day for them, ideally reduce those to 0
voila! you're on track to becoming near native
*bonus: starting as a young teenager helps a ton

I'm Japanese and I'm trying to learn English.I wanted to say thankyou so much for your video.

I'm Ukrainian and I've been using your method just intuitively for 3-4 years, especially that I was so lucky to talk to many Americans out of Peace Corps...until the covid pandemic broke out and they were all brought home. I was nearly as fluent as probably you before settling in US...but now I live in Ireland for 7 months and....it's an entire struggle! Completely different accent and speech structure, I barely understand them from the first time and they don't always understand me either straight away without repeating...Meanwhile, many truly believe I'm American and deeply surprised when I say I'm not...

[magiclake]

You give me hope.

I'm so grateful toward myself that I started learning English when I was 12. and now that I've just turned 14 I'm at a level good enough to be able to watch movies without having to second-guess every single word. And at a level good enough to understand everything you've said in this video.

You give me hope. You give me motivation to keep chasing that dream of mine - moving to America an becoming a true American.

Thank you

[jmel-nwpc]

that's a really good tip! thanks for sharing. im in this level of english that i already have a good vocabulary but when it comes to speak or even text someone i struggle with grammar (even the basic stuff, like in or on) and that stress me out 💀

This is not only about language learning… this is about learning anything and getting into flow state where you can perform best.

[SVDP]

Как бы иронично не звучало. Но при помощи твоих уроков, я щас понимаю тебя на 70%. Спасибо тебе

[whitecoffee]

i like your word "be nature and relax" doing things It's harder when we're stressed.

[theartofmusic]

This video completely changed my whole perspective of learning a new language.Thanks my hommie!!

[thiagosf]

One thing i noticed is that all success stories, like yours, have one thing in common; you all started learning at a very young age (14 in your case). As a 23 years old myself, i'll be realistic in saying that i have doubs whether its even possible for me to reach such a high level as yours.
