The truth! Fluent in 30 years! I am a native English speaker aged 57 and one of those people who took part in that test, and so it's great to finally see the end result in the form of a simple graph. Of course, I scored highly and so you may guess that I do not watch your videos because I need to reach fluency in English! However, I am now 2.5 years into the study of the Polish language, which is a seriously daunting task for any native English speaker to undertake. I watch your videos because the information that they contain applies to the process of learning all languages, regardless of which one it might be. The rules of the game remain the same and you are telling me the brutally honest truth about them. I must knuckle down, enjoy every second of the process and most importantly of all, I must take my damn time about it! The industry of 2nd language acquisition (and especially for the English Language) looks utterly corrupt to my eyes, and it seems that almost everyone involved is selling nothing more useful than snake-oil. At last, we have an honest voice. Wonderful stuff!

It is so true! When I have imagined conversation in my head it seems so easy but when I start dialogue in real life (in so rare opportunities) I get confused and all the words magically disappear from my head. And all this because of lack of conversation experience in English. Thank you sir! I said it before but want to repeat it again you are really amazing teacher.

I am 59 and I am Russia teacher. I ve already teach Russia for more 30 years y sometimes I doubt. I absolutely agree with you. Thank you for your so interesting lessons.

You have touched on a important problem. Today people don't care about the process, they want to arrive the top of the mountain without effort.

To me, learning English was/is a life long process. I'm 55, I've started learning English 50 years ago. I've been working as a translator from Eng into my native language for 30+ years - and I still have a lot to learn. I love your videos, and the way you explain things... keep up the good work! :)

I started learning German on my own just over a year ago when I was 61 years old. I'm making progress every day. It's not likely that I have 30 more years to learn German. But, it is encouraging that you graph shows that learners can reach over 90 percent accuracy in just a few years, well within my remaining life expectancy.


I think that you should highlight the fact that only a few years is needed to gain a high level of proficiency, rather than repeatedly emphasizing the rather demotivating fact that 30 years is needed for maximum fluency. Thirty years to maximum fluency may well be the rock hard truth, but I, and most others, don't need maximum fluency. If, in the next 5 years, I reach 80 or 90 percent fluency I will be able to have conversations in my target language, German, on almost any non-highly-technical topic of common interest. That is highly motivating.


Thanks again, Christian, for a bit of language learning inspiration.

I remember when I was a basic user of the English language, I would always come here, watch your videos, cry, smile and learn a lot. I'm coming back, and feeling the same stuff. Your work is amazing, sir.

At last!!!
One honest and brilliant teacher who speaks clear.
Really good metaphor about climbing the mountain btw.
Cheers

I'm studying English for 19 years and I'm stuck in upper intermediate. Happy to know that I have only 11 more years to get fluency 😁

[brunoteixeirawendling]

Very nice video.
I'm studying English about one year, I'm brazilian, and I'm felt realy better when you showed me that I can get fluency in 30 years, instead 30 days.
Thank you.

I totally love this, in my country there are many companies promising fluency in 9 months and in reality I know that's not possible, I spent 3 months in Canada, and when I came back to my country I kept learning, 20 years later, I'm still learning, I have some fluency but not like a native and I have worked in call centers offering products to English speakers, so I consider that some immerision, and here I am, still learning. As always great video. Thanks teacher.

Great videos Christian ! I am English, and a native speaker ( who doesn't always get it right ! ) . I am 67 and currently learning Italian and Portuguese, albeit slowly . During the time I was at school 1957-1967 there was no grammar teaching ( I went to primary and secondary schools.) The gov't had ceased the teaching of it. Your video's are teaching me my own grammar whilst helping me learning Italian and Portuguese grammar. Thank you. Keep 'em coming !

[АнтонПетров-ия]

really truth. not in language. everything in your life is hardwork to be fluent. the best man!

[chithirasanjay]

This video is an eyeopener for me.I am tired of false hopes given by some of the youtubers about learning English.You are very genuine. Be like this, dont change.

[ЕмилияСтанева-лъ]

This is the most inspiring video about English learning I've ever seen! Thank you, Christian! I've watched a lot of your stuff and found it all amazing but this one really touched me. Now I feel I'm on the right way and all my efforts make sense. Thank you!

[jolantawilk]

Hi! I totally agree! Sometimes people think that learning language is a miracle or some special methods! But it`s just hard regular work! It`s pleasure to listen to You!

[thiagodubenglish]

Oh my goodness.🙄🙄..what video was that!! I got blown away! That was really fantastic!! I'm Brazilian christian and I just love your channel!!

[osrodek]

You're the best, dear Christian! Thank you for your labor !

[danielseisdedos]

I've surfed the web for years triyng to find the best material to learn English until I found your videos! Thanks for your great material and now I can stop searching the web!

[daegudude]

Thanks a lot Christian, I've been working on this somewhat called 'active learning' for a month. And I felt like I was learning a lot, but truth was, native speakers know 45000 words to 160000 words. There's no way that I'll 'study study' to get all those words. So I was a bit frustrated. But yeah having knowing the fact that it's gonna take a long long time, kinda gets me more relaxed and just to enjoy the things in English. That way my emotion will be connected to it, and therefore I will possibly speak good English in the future.
