I totally totally agree with the "speak like a child" part! That's how I learned to speak Chinese and French, I just tried to limit myself to using 3 words per sentence, like "I like this" "I want that" etc...
I think too many people try to learn the fully developed language right from the start and get frustrated and give up.

I’m Russian and I’ve recently noticed that my jokes in English are much better than in Russian and it’s also easier for me to make them up when I’m speaking English

You my friend know exactly what you are talking about. I like how you focused a lot on mindset... mindset, reflection, and resolve to keep the input (and output) comprehensible and your head in the game is EVERYTHING in this language learning game we are playing 🙂

[egypticlanguage]

This is great and we totally agree! We're actually using comprehensible input to teach Egyptian Arabic on our channel. Our lessons don't use any other languages, just context clues.

Thats exactly what I was looking for to master my third language! I am currently struggling to pass the beginner level in Turkish language and it made me question how I did it before with English and then I came across your video. Thank you Brian for the amazing eye opening tips.❤

[yougerloger]

This how i actualy learned english to the degree that I am on right now. I am happy that someone can teach people the way that I learned with, because I would never be able to make it as compaling and intersting as you do. all love and respect from egypt.

Congratulations on the topic!
Very useful content to help with learning.

I think that textbooks are not that "bad". A good textbook is well structured, not very expensive and it gives you a good idea of what you will have to learn to reach a given level. This doesn't mean that you have to study every single page or memorize every single word or that your textbook should be your only resource. You should complement the texts, exercices, word lists and so on by self-talk, comprehesible input from Youtube or other resources and a language buddy to advance as fast as possible and to have fun! Happy language learning!

Mr! That's video is exactly the thing I was seeking for. Best wishes to you, that's the only thing I could say without any other words (because all appreciation have already been given <3 ). Thank you much!
What about feeling of new mindset whenever I talk in English (it isn't my native language): I have two languages I'm proficient at (kazakh and russian), they are my natives. Whenever I turn my mind into English, I feel that I'm more polite and can tolerate and put up with things easier. It really feels like a magic? Just don't have enough words to express this feeling of mine :D
I'm going to move to the UK, so I'm glad that I found your channel. It helped me to understand that I'm going the right way :)

[american-wwkn]

Alexander Feldendrais focused on dynamic posture, which includes a very strong understanding of musculature. In one of his books he describes the musculature of language and how the muscles conform to special pronunciations, let's say rolling r's or some of the more throaty sounds in French or German. His research led him to conclude that musculature, i.e. the physical state of ones body, has an impact on the mind, thoughts and understanding. Hence, languages carry with them the dynamic musculature of a culture. Learning a language produces a physical, and therefore a mental change, which carries with it the intangible quality of it's particular culture. Fascinating stuff.
