As a native English speaker in the US, I can honestly say that most people in America will be thrilled that you are even trying to learn English. Most of us would be glad to help you in situations that you are unsure about. If you get into a situation where you don't know the right word to say, or if you don't understand something someone else said, don't be afraid to ask! Even if people do laugh a little bit, it's not to insult you. It's an innocent laugh and lighten the mood and show you that it's okay! Imagine if someone was trying to learn your native language. You would probably be excited to see someone putting in the effort, and you would want to help them. You wouldn't get uncomfortable if they made a mistake, you would want them to feel good for trying, and you would probably think the mistake was cute. It's the same for people learning English. You will do better than you think, and we want to help, not make you feel worse. 🙂

Liked this part where you said "If you understand this video, you know enough words" - that was very supportive :)

"Life is simple. We overcomplicate so many things. Life is easy.. Smile." These words are precious like gems. Thanks a lot for motivating us.

I loved this quote ❤️- " If you are feeling nervous, this means you are going to do something important"

I had an English test last week, at first I was really shy but after the teacher with was so friendly that I was more confident and she told me that my english was really better at the end. I improved my speaking with watching your videos, but I dont practise enough, so I'll continue watching you with a dream to speak one day as you do

Thanks a lot Marina! Your videos, especially this, improve my confidence. I consider myself like a shy person. Actually, I've always avoided the opportunities to speak in English with a native speaker. Idk, I just feel that I won't be able to support a real conversation, but this video has motivated me to try it. No matter if I make mistakes (of course I'm gonna make them), but is part of the learning!
You are amazing!
Kisses from Peru.

When You said "if you understand this video that means you know enough words to support a conversation". This single sentence suddenly brought a Confidence inside me as well as a hope that I could do that. Thanks a Lot Marina!

Hi Linguamarina, thank you very much for this video. I’m from El Salvador and I can tell that I’ve learned so much watching your videos, you are concerned about people’s issues and always giving us the right way to improve them. Next week I’m going to have a training with native US speakers from west, east and north states so I want to be able to talk with them and this video has helped me a lot. I’m glad you’re doing great, keep sharing your knowledge and save our Latin American English 🥺

I'm from Indonesia, and this channel really helps me to learn english.

[deserve_it]

I am not a native English speaker. But for me it seems you speak very clear and fluently, you also have a huge knowledge in idioms and you vocabulary is huge, which fact can be approved by multiple content publiched by you on YouTube.Actually you are speaking better than most of natives.

[rigidnoir]

I could understand English and I know that I could speak like a native, but was afraid that i will make a mistake or would be judged. This video gave me the motivation that I needed to speak English. Furthermore, it gave me the ways in which i can overcome a problematic situation. Thanks Marina ❤️.

[rina-ydxo]

I really really love this type of english💜 And my favorite part is " Don't create problems, just enjoy the life"💋👏
