1. Consume media in English
2. Normal Speed + subtitles ( focus on what they are talking about ) - 3 - 4 hrs every single day - move on after udnerstanding videos without subtitles
3. Watch media without subtitles - after watching a video or episode try to explain to yourself what you’ve just watched in English without translating
into other languages
4. Start to read in English - after reading an article try to explain / summarize in your own words / english
5. Speed up videos to 1.25 / 1.5 -
6. Do it for a year ( think in English )

I learned english by myself too. I saw a video from a Poliglote at the TED TALKS, and She just said: Have fun!, MAN just this, enjoy your learning process, enjoy your life, and I'm still at the process but I'm happy with my english. DO NOT GIVE UP GUYS, TRY UNTIL YOU ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS! I love u❤❤😊

Hi Ruri,

Native English speaker here. Wanted to tell you that your grammar is actually very good in English. You make some mistakes but remember language is a communication tool. If you don’t have perfect grammar but still sound fluid and can be understood then you’re fluent.

Also, like any language, lots of native English speakers make grammar mistakes frequently; and not on purpose.


Late comment but hope you see this and give yourself more credit. 👍

You're a really inspiration to students. Sometimes I feel that I don't will learn, so you show your case and I can feel more confident. Thank you so much!

step 1: choose what to watch
step 2: watch the videos in normal speed;add subtitles
step 3: watch without subtitles for at least 1 hr each day
step 4: read in target language
step 5: speed up videos to 1.25x or 1.5x
step 6: continue the above for a year

Glad to know that I'm not the only one talking to myself while I'm showering, cooking, or doing my chores just to practice my English. I think it has really helped me improve my English over the years. Great video and tips. Thank you.

As a native German speaker myself I found that English was rather easy to learn, I also learned most of what I know today through media consumption. I started my English learning journey at the age of 7 with the help of a dictionary and video games. Back then you had to understand English or you couldn't read the text at all, there also was no voice acting back then so you had to make sense of the letters. English had a "cool" appeal to me right from the start, it felt much more modern than my old fashioned mother tongue. That said, I was always surrounded by English words as most songs that were played in the radio were in English luckily. The grammar in English is much easier but also a bit different from German so I still manage to get it wrong in English sometimes, which will result in some odd looking sentences for a native speaker. Though I guess they are pretty much used to it as English is the language that most foreign people learn in school and use to communicate with someone that doesn't understand their mother tongue...

I have watched most of your videos today and I'm happy to see you learned like this. Will cite you as an example whenever I talk to my students or people who watch my channel (Mostly from spanish speaking countries).

i'm studying English, and I'm really enjoying my learning process. I feel like I'm improving my reading, writing, listening and my speaking in English. Something that has helped me a lot is talking to myself and narrate what i'm doing (and i am very happy because i understood almost everything you said in 1.5x). Thx for the tips, I love your channel :D

Congratulations, you really accomplished your goal. I'm a teacher and it's amazing, but every step that you mentioned are my basic method recommendations to my students. And I add the grammar too, so they can be really good in English. That's how I learned and became fluent too. And you're totally right, you cannot use these tips if you don't have any knowledge of the language. But it can be a start too. And don't worry, all of them are based in different methods and approaches.

This really works. I’ve been doing this for a year and i went from a basic primary english to a B1/B2 english. And now i keep practicing! So never give up cuz one day u will se that everything was worth it! :)

As a Turkish person from England, I can confidently say that your English accent is very good and you're so fluent. I feel that Turkish people who learn English through school / independently have a thick Turkish accent which is inevitable but you have been able to overcome this! Especially because the grammar in English is hard because it never follows a certain rule, it's sort of a free language where the rules keep changing.
Your advice in this video is very true because I started to consume Spanish media and listen to Spanish songs and although I can't speak it very well, I am able to understand most Spanish words when I didn't even do this on purpose.

Hi ruri just want to let you know that 2 Years ago l was watch this vidio and really work on my english and now on 2023 l watch this back and already speak english fluently🎉😊

[merve]

Your English speaking and accent are very clean and understandable. I will improve my English skills with your videos. Keep making videos girl 💪

[paulocmsantos]

Ok, that is the technique that i've been looking for. I'll try that and i'll come back in the end of 2022 to show you guys if I could learn.

[samueldepaula]

I aggre with you 100%, when the pandemic began I was very basic in English but with the free time that it brought to us I started to watch videos here totally in English. A few months later I can understand almost everything on a normal speak speed, I struggle with the songs and fast speakers and also to express myself with confidence so I going to take advantage to step 3 to 5.

I realized that I was actually studying English in this whole time in my own. I've been doing all of the steps you counted in last 4 years. The problem is I'm not doing them regularly. But I can say that it was so easy for me to understand this video without cc on. And thank you, , it helped a
