The most difficult part for me is speaking. Now I practice "shadowing technique", trying to repeat aloud after Bob the Canadian on his second channel "Really Short English Lessons". My wife jokes, that I speak so fast she never heard me speak native language. And my son says it looks funny, like I argue with Bob. But ... it works!
That is a great thing to do. Shadowing can really help you to not only learn new words and phrases, but it makes you physically move your mouth to form the words properly. Good work!
@@jerrywang6611 It is like sing a song along with your favorite singer. In this case, you speak at the same pace (speed) the narrator does trying to use the same pronunciation and intonation. To do this you have to rewind over and over again.
Hello Bob. I read English wiki and simple English wiki. I use cambridge vocabulary for determining some words that I don't know. I listen to your video with subtitles on and then off. I downloaded a list of the 5000 most use English words in daily conversation .that is it yet. I do my best to reach some good result. I started only two and half month ago. Thank a lot for your job Bob. it is useful for me. Keep doing what you are doing. Greeting from Ukraine with the best wishes for you and your family.
That sounds awesome! I'm glad to hear that you are using the Simple English wiki as well. It is such a little known resource for people learning English. Great job! Keep it up! 📙🎧📺
Hello again. To improve my listening and speaking skills, I have established a daily routine and it works very well: Every morning I take my car to go to work and I listen to English podcasts. And then, on my way back from work I think about what I've heard in the morning and I try to speak about it to myself. Sometimes the topic of the podcast doesn't inspire me, so I talk about what I'm going to do later in the evening, or what my day has been like. In the beginning I felt a bit weird, but I'm getting used to talking to myself. It's really really helpful to overcome the shyness of speaking. Greetings from France
The fact that you are talking to yourself in the past, and in the future is a very good idea. Often new English speakers get stuck speaking in the present tense, but it is more exciting to talk about the things you have done and the things you will do! 📙📺🎧
Hey Bob and the whole community there!!! Currently I'm reading the book "The woman in the window" from A.J. Finn. It's slightly too advanced for my upper-intermidiate level. There are many words I don't know. But as the story is very thrilling and gripping I keep reading anyway. I only look up words when I cannot understand the meaning of a sentence. Otherwise I try to guess the meaning in context. This way I don't have to interrupt my reading too often and I don't lose interest in the book. I definitely recommand this book for readers from intermediate to advanced level. Greetings from France
Your strategy is very sound. At a certain point you just have to keep reading instead of stopping to look up every word. It is a balance between stopping often enough to look up words for understanding, and not losing interest. You seem to have found this balance! Good job! 📺🎧📙
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian hello Mr bob i want to thank you for your time and tell you I am farmer too . you can visit me if you have a time . I am from Morocco
It's geat to chat with you. If you are reading digital books so I would like to recomend you please instal a dictionary which has coping function. During the reading a vocabulary comes just select and copy and a pop will show you the whole thing from the dictionary.
I read newspapers and I practice my English writing with my girlfriend , she is from the USA, I am improving my English with her, I listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, this song helped me to improve my English listening skills, and I watch documentaries on UA-cam,I listen to BBC Learning English, and sometimes I practice my speaking on Hallo Application, to be honest I have to improve my English, because one day I want to visit USA.
Hi,Bob. Your channel is so amazing and useful for me . I appreciate it. Believe me you are the best on UA-cam.👍🙏🌸🙏🙏🙏 Listening,writing and speaking have been improved by your fantastic channel. Many thanks for your wonderful teaching. God bless you 🌸🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🌷🌸🌹🌻🌺💐🌼
Dear Bob, Best wishes from Russia! Just my luck to come across your channel right now. I've been reading "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury. It's the most heart touching thing i've ever read. It's a must-read, goes without saying, i can't but recommend to everyone here. Sincerest thanks for your work. See you!
Hello to everybody! Thank you, Bob, for these really great lessons. I appreciate this warm and welcoming atmosphere of your lessons! I teach English in Russia and I get tons of useful tips from your videos. We can find grammar in school books, but we'd never find this real vivid speaking language there! I'm recommending your lessons to some of my students this week as a way to improve listening. Hope, they'll get hooked on the videos instead of all that trash.☺ Do what you do and love it as you do now! 🇨🇵 I've got a question: Have you thought of making some kind of the same videos for French-learning students? I'm learning French and would be eager to practice it here. Thanks for reading! 🙂
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. I'm glad you are finding my video useful and to answer your question I have no plans to start a French channel. I am a native English speaker, but I'm not a native French speaking, it is a learned language for me and I have an accent. It's better in my opinion to learn a language from a native speaker if you can! Thanks for the suggestion though! I appreciate your confidence in me! 📙📺🎧
I haven't been reading any book in English lately. But I've read some books in English and it helped me improving my vocabulary and grammar too. As for as movies, I love a movie called 'a walk to remember' and I've wached it in English many many times. I really like watching contents in English on UA-cam. I try to practice my speaking and writing skills as much as possible. Greetings from Brazil, Bob. 😊
Hi Bob! I spend an hour studying English everyday. I study physics and my mother tongue is German. I have my own plan: Mon: Reading / Pronunciation Tue: Listening / Vocabulary Wed: Reading / Pronunciation Thu: Listening / Vocabulary Fri: Reading / Pronunciation Sat: Listening / Vocabulary Sun: Listening / Vocabulary Reading / Pronunciation: I read the CBC news out loud and look up every word that I don’t know and if I don’t know the pronunciation of a word, I look it up on Youglish (or other homepages). The main goal is to practice my pronunciation and learn new vocabularies. Listening / Vocabulary: For listening I watch series or movies. At the time I watch the series Breaking Bad. Other series I’ve watched or I’m going to watch are Mr. Robot and Community. First I watch an episode with subtitles and write down every phrase or word that I don’t know. After that I learn these phrases and words. Then I watch the episode again without subtitles and try to understand everything. As you see I don’t do much speaking and writing at the moment. My main goal at the moment is to be able to understand English (I want to be able to watch movies and read newspapers or books without having much troubles with the vocabulary). After I’ve reached this goal, I want to find native speakers on the internet for practicing writing and speaking and after I’m done with studying Physics (2022) I want to move to Canada.
CBC news is great. The stories are well written and if you watch the news on TV the reporters are well spoken. I started watching Mr. Robot, but I just couldn't get into it. I hope you have better luck! 📙📺🎧 I wish you all the best with your studies and I hope you can find a way to move to Canada some day!
Thanks Bob...im italian and live in Rome....i became a tourist guide only 2months ago and i passed all the english exams also thanks your lesson....now i have to improve listening.....
Hello, BOB the Canadian Sir. I am from Indian in the state of Punjab. It is where more students want to continue their future studies in Canada. I am learning English through you .you are the best teacher. Thanks for reading my message. 🙏🏻👌🏻Canada 🇨🇦👍🏻.keep it up.
Hi teacher First of all thanks for your kind efforts to help learning more ❤️ and your ❤️ follow up plans of listeners I follow my old own plan to improve my skills of English as I estimate my level an intermediate. Reading: the current book I read a book of Raymond Murphy (second edition) called "English Grammar in Use" to check and increase a wide range of grammar. Listening: I practice listening to you and to many others ❤️ like Ganesh, Gabby Wallace etc.. (actually I feel that I can understand more than 90% of yours and little less in news of TV channels. Writing: I write many comments, answers of exercises, and many messages to my relatives who ask me to serve their correspondence. Speaking: every day I speak with my nephew who lives in USA.
Hi Bob! I really appreciate you for your teaching! Neither other English-teaching channel made me took everyday actions to learn English like this does. Now let’s talk about studying plan. A lot of activities described in plan I have already done for some period (such as reading, listening and watching TV series), so I use it to make my studying more structured. 1. Reading. I tried to read a lot and here is my daily reading routine: - In the morning I’m reading the article of the day on Wikipedia - During a break on my job I’m reading some book. I’m already read “Charlotte's Web” by E. B. White (beginner level), “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl (beginner level), “The Headless Horseman” by Mayne Reid (something between intermediate and advanced level) and the last one is “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill (intermediate level). - Before putting my son to bed I read for him few pages from “Winnie-the-Pooh” by A. A. Milne (beginner level). - Then, before going to bed myself, I continue to read my current book. - And during the day, I read some technical instructions on my job or look for something on Wikipedia (description of the movie, someone biography, etc.) 2. Writing. The biggest move in this direction was finding a pen pal. Here is a recommendation for the other students - you can try to find someone to talk with on reddit there are a lot of Subreddits where people seeking for long-term conversation. By the way, if someone wants to start pan paling with me, feel free to text me via reddit. Here is my nickname: wonder_raccoon. 3. Listening. It is the easiest one. I’m listening podcasts from ESLpod.com, different streams (especially Bob’s one) and audio versions of books which I’m reading at the moment on my way to work or home, and sometimes during the work day. In the evening I watch 1 episode of some TV show. The last once was “Fringe”. 4. Speaking. It’s totally opposite to listening. I mean the toughest once. All my speaking is a bit reading and describing my everyday life out loud. I don't talk to people yet. Maybe it’s because of lack of time, or maybe because I’m shy of my accent and poor vocabulary, and low speed of speech. I’m planning to gain some confidence and start to visit local english-speaking club. 5. Vocabulary. I found that all these games and apps doesn’t work for me, so I use some old school notebook.
I'm reading news in Google, I'm writing in UA-cam comments like this, I want to start reading "The graet Gatsby" and I've been trying to practice speaking with a workmate, It's all that I've been doing for improve my English. Thank you for your videos, they are very useful
For reading, I try to read as much as possible and I have a long list. For listening, I watch your videos of course and enjoy them. For vocabulary, when I hear a new Word I write it down in a note and put it in a wall. For speaking, I follow that channel on youtube named listen and learn English. For writing, I use a daily question app which sand you question every day to write about it.
Hello, Bob! I am from Russia. In last time, I am trying to write not only on the keyboard, but and to use pen into the my copybook. And I noticed that I can write without looking up in the text. I am listening the podcasts, watching UA-cam (Joe Rogan). I am reading a book called "The Subtle art ...." Mark Manson. Else I use such apps as Duolingo and Linguoleo together. I turn over page my life to English environment. And I am not going to stop!
Hi! In everyday, I’m reading a book(Narnia) and Magazine(Science focus) with my voice. I’m listening one article in daily news first, and then I’m reading an article. After that, I’m listening and reading with my voice again. Finally, I’m writing the article if I’m understand it fully. This is my daily routine.
Hello from Korea. I've just finished the book "Nine perfect strangers" by Liane Moriarty. It took almost six weeks for me to read it all. When I read any book written in English, I just don't read it through like native English speakers reading novels. Even though when I understand what each sentence means, I try to kind of memorize the way the sentence is written when I find it quite different from the way I use in Korean. As the way of thinking, and the way of expressing is quite different, I think it is quite necessary to get accustomed to the way the native English speakers speaks their own language. So, I kind of analyze the structure of any sentence which is quite strange to me. I try to read the sentence over and over again till I speak the whole expression quite naturally without looking at it. I also write all the expressions which are quite difficult on my notebook so that I could read them all over again when I forget them in the future. Your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks.
Every morning I am hearing a youtube videos on English when I walk to job. In the evening I watch your videos and then I am reading a book called "300 topics", and the book also have russian topics, usually I read 10 pages. Then, sometime I rewrite one or more topics. And I am always playing Duolingo. In the weekend I try to join your Live stream
That sounds like a great plan. I think it is cool that you are doing Duolingo. I did the French on Duolingo every day for a year and made it to the end. I am currently thinking about redoing it, but I don't have a lot of time. Great suggestions! Thanks! 📙🎧📺
These years I try to learn English from magazine. It is named "Let's talk in English" It has many kinds of topics I can learn. I can listen the host and roles to speak English. Everyday, I will watch UA-camr's videoes , just like Bob and I will keep diary in English at least over three sentences. I also talk to foreigner once a week!
Hi, Bob. I have read five books in this year. These are 1. Chronicles Of Narnia Conqueror of the dawn by Clive Lewis. 2. Stories by Jack London. 3. If I stay by Geil Forman. 4. Post office by Charles Bukovsky. 5. Chronicles Of Narnia Silver chair. Now, I have been reading Ten litttle Indians by Agatha Christie.
I was a bit sick yesterday so I just crashed into the bed after work so I can listen your lesson only today. I get an English magazine every month and I read this magazine to improve my English reading skills. I also practice my English writing skills by writing several articles out of this magazine. I practice to improve my English listening skills listening your English videos but I also watch InteractiveEnglish and mmmenglish. And I watch Mojo and a few videos about my favorite American films in English. Speaking? I have no big chance to practice, I do it alone rarely.
Advice for a long time, watching the survivor television program, also a video about food, about cooking (Natashas kitchen) because of this I enjoyed watching the video where you made the cookies and understood almost everything. Every day I read for 20-30 minutes, I talk to myself in front of the mirror and to Siri, now Siri understands me well and even answers☺️ This is all from your advice and it all works! thanks! I recommend you all!
Hello, teacher Bob! I am a pharmacist. I often talk about health care with online English teachers. Through these conversations, I can get new specialized vocabularies and expressions about medicine. I'm a beginner at English, but recently I started my UA-cam channel in English. It is videos about medicine. I need scripts for these videos. But when I write the script, I can study English writing. After that, I ask my online English teacher to check the script that I wrote. Through these processes, I can acquire new vocabularies and expressions, and I can also study writing, speaking, reading, etc.
Hi Bob. Firstly I want to greet you and let you know that you are the best english teacher I've ever met. Coming back to the topic of the video... I usually practice my listening skills (expecially with your videos) and your videos are very very useful to increase my vocabulary as well. I do some speaking practice once a week with a mothertongue teacher. The practise I do less is writing, so I'm very glad to write you this message and I really hope that you answer to me. Bye. You are the best. Mattia from Italy
Thanks for the Video Teacher Bob!!I've been learning English for almost 6 months now.When i was young i had attended lessons through Private English school...you know like a class or something in the afternoon.Then i had stopped and "Today" i'm back again...also i use the Preply and i have a Tutor!
I'm glad you found a tutor. Even though it does cost money it can really help you progress faster as you always know you will be having a conversation at some point in the week and you study hard so that you have something to talk about. Good job! 📺🎧📙
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian I need time Teacher..i need time.I've been learning Greek all my life as a Greek native speaker..you know how is it going...
I am from Saudi Arabia, I loved your channel very well. I am not good at talking well and writing well, but I understand all what the video says. Thank you because you are a good teacher. I want to develop my skills in the language and I will continue to follow you
Hello from Cameroon. I've been writing my daily journal in English and I love speaking out loud to myself. I learn and practice my new vocabulary with anki. Amazing job Bob! Thanks ever so much

Hi Bob! I follow you a long time but I am not sure that the first time I leave a comment on your channel. I try to practice English every day as possible as I have time to do it. I think maybe it is hard to learn something is not my first language like English but your channel, have been a part of learning English for me. I am from Thailand.
Hello Bob! I'm Ramon from China. There are some things that I do everyday to improve my English. According to when I do It , I'll divide them into 3 sections and here we are. What i do firstly in morning is that I revise all the vocabularies coming from reading and listening that I learned yesterday, and after that I read a long article released in BBC news at the meantime I write down all the unknown words in my laptop in order that I can revise them in the second day, and then i copy the article i have read and paste it into my computer as a document and then I read loudly a piece of previous documents so that I can rainforce what I have learned and practice my oral muscle. In afternoon I revise more words as what I do in morning, and then I do some English comprehension about one and half an hour, and I aslo read a short article from BBC news. In evening I watch two or three your videos posted on Tuesday and i repeat what I have heard and after that I write my views about the long article that I read in morning. My regular study task always ends up with reading a little article aloud and during that time I try to pronounce as clearly as I can. But these things I do everyday is temporary because actually I'm taking IELTS course, but I can't go out to take the course due to the nwe coronavirus. By the way I really really love Post Malone, he is so amazing and I also love Imagine Dragons.
This is an awesome plan Ramon. You will surely be making great progress each day! Awesome! Keep it up! 📙🎧📺 (P.S. Imagine Dragons has some really cool songs! Great choice!)
Hi Bob! How are you? Unfortunately I have not participated in your lives due to my work, but I'm always following you... Lately, I have read and wrote some papers in English, it's being my first experience to write something like that in English, and I hope they be accepted. I have exercising my writing too leaving comments in the best English Learning UA-cam channel!! In my daily routine, I have practice my reading, and listening though Biblegateway website. Over there, there are a lot of languages versions of the bible, and in particular English NVI with dramatized audio. It's awesome!! My speaking, maybe you think I'm crazy, but to try practice, I talk by my self, and sometimes I imagine myself talking to you!!! It's very funny!!! But... I have worked! Big hug my friend, and keep doing your brilliant work. God bless you!!
Religious texts are a great way to refresh yourself spiritually and learn a language at the same time. Because you are already familiar with the Bible in your native language it becomes a natural conduit to learning new vocabulary. 📙📺🎧 Good to see you here! I'm sorry that work is taking up so much of your time, but hey, if you like your work that isn't such a big deal!
Bob I pratice every day my english, I read books, texts and watching videos in english. I listening many english podcasts and when I have a chance I pratice conversation with a english group in my city. I like your videos and I saw every day without subtitles.
For listening :news For speaking :speak with myself before the mirror or sometimes with my sister For writing: I made an account on Twitter for tweeting For reading:sometime read a story Of course I need a friend for practising with, is any one there to practice with me to improve our English language ? Thank you Mr Bob for explaining
From January until now I listened to 3 audiobook ( 1.your money or your life 2. Rich Dad and poor Dad 3. How to stop worrying and start living .) my strategy listening to the audio like one or two sentences and then paused and then I read the sentences loudly . I think this nice and easy way to practice listening and reading and speaking loudly to train your English speaking muscles 😉 thank you so much Mr. Bob I learned to much from you
I've read lots of books in English. Now rereading Kate Morton's 'The Lake House'. This Australian writer belongs to the Victorian movement. Always some mystery in her novels. Listening: English Speeches for graduates at a university, Talks at Google, TV shows, movies only in English with English subtitles. Speaking: very little, but I found out recently I'm talking to myself in English and that I'm understanding more than before.
Re-reading is a good strategy. Any time you can read something twice, watch it twice, etc it is really good for your learning. Good work! I'm glad to hear you're making progress! 📺🎧📙
I read mostly short articles instead of reading books. But of course at my own level. I'm writing the words on my flashcards I don't know the meaning. Then I repeat it constantly to memorize them -This is my old technic because today I discovered this channel and I wanted to join you with this comment :) -
Hello from Russia, thanks, the lesson's interesting, and planing of learning English for 5 days a week is a great idea Now I watch some movies in English and want to speak English better😊
1) I read the great gatsby meiko's treasure The secret garden Stars my destination alfred bester The mist Stephen king 2) I really didn't this, well, i'm right now in a English course and I write all saturdays and in Facebook, UA-cam and all that, even in word to make homeworks so. 3) Listening. This is my strongest part, i usually hear CCR, SOAD, Eminem, ABBA, Bob Marley since many years so I ever hear english and podcast and Bob's channel, even more english channels to learn more vocabulary, i ever hear english every day, at least 1 to 3 hours at day, AND your videos helps a lot. 4) this is the most dificcult part cause I only can talk with prople in the course and with my self, i usually speak to my dog on English and to my self when i'm at home making stuff and all that you know 5) Reading and Speaking, specially Reading and watching videos is for me the Best way to learn NEW vocabulary, ever, dude i looked for job, sports, felling, techincal, good, AND a lot more kind of vocabulary, even when I read Isaac Isimov Books I learn NEW words, i could say that I learn NEW words each day. Personally what make a strong difference in my learmign was READING, Watching videos bout NEW vocabulary and some structure, watching móvies, Listening songs of course But Reading is in first place dude. I dont even knew that "restless" was a way to express. AND my weaker part is Speaking cause I need to practice fluency in a normal convesation you know.
I practice my listening by watching UA-cam videos on topics that I enjoy. For instance, I watch Kings and Generals to learn more about History and improve my English. And I practice writing by... writing here :)
Hi, I am from VietNam.I am reading any comments in this video. I usually hear Bob on the bus as I am moving outside. I see interesting to watching video from Bob.
Hi Bob the canadaian i’m interesting with you method to learn english and now every single day i’m reading english book and listening english podcasts to learn english and to improve my speech and vocabulary
For reading : I pick up the online magazine named Corporate kinghts. For listening: I practise with VOA and Bob Canadian. For speaking: I practise to myself. And for writing: I write about 30 minutes every night.
Hello Bob! Thank you for your great work to teach us English! I will try to respond to you. 1. Reading - Firstly I've been reading a lot of social network posts, especially Twitter (Elon Mask and other famous people), Secondly, I found Cambridge Dictionary On-Line and there read articles. 2. Listening - While I drive to my work and after work back home, I listen to the American Gods Audio Book in English, however sometimes I can't understand all. 3. Speaking - I can't afford a native speaker teacher, so I hire a tutor from Armenia to conversation practice and he teach me English and we almost every time speak in English. 4. Dictionary - I use an application on my phone to learn new words, I do it daily and repeat almost thirty words every day. Also, I write words down and describe them in English in my notebook. During I have lunch I watch videos on UA-cam, mostly one channel, it called Learn English with Bob the Canadian)) also some interesting channels with reviews of new gadgets (Unbox Therapy, I think the author also from Canada), as I like computer technologies. Also, I watch a tv channel in the evening after dinner, it called the English Club TV, every day there shows movies in English with subtitles. I'm going to rewatch The Friend in English with subtitles.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I'm on the list! American Gods is a really good book. I have read almost all of Neil Gaiman's books and I loved them. My favourite was Neverwhere. It sounds like you have a great plan in place and I love it that you have such a diverse range of topics. Everything from Fiction to UA-cam with Unbox Therapy. Just awesome! Good work! 📙📺🎧
I'm reading "Peter Pan" by J.Barrie : I have only discovered your courses for two weeks, and I want to thank you very very much; in a short time I discover that I can understand and begin to speak and think in English. Beautifu the landscapes of your countryside! Your nice face is interesting too: maybe I'll make you a portrait to thank you! greetings from Italy
Hi Bob these days I am reading up 'What it takes' wrote by Schwarzman.In this book he did share his experience, his life as a student and as an engager in Wall Street. It really helps me a lot in English learning.
Cool. I have not read it. It would be what we call a "Motivational Book" in English. A book to help you make yourself a better person, or boss, or employee. It looks interesting! 📙🎧📺
I like to read articles and watch youtube videos, but I'm not confident about speaking. I'm using Anki to improve my vocabulary and I'm able to understand what you are saying with no subtitle, not 100% but it's a good beginning for me. Thanks Bob.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to refresh and improve my knowledge of English. I began to watch daily video lessons of three teachers on You Tube. Two of them speak British English and one speaks American. Bob, no need to say that you're one of these teachers. Watching their videos helps me to improve my oral comprehension skills and to enrich my vocabulary. To tell the truth, I don't even try to remember all the words I just enjoy the process of learning smth new. But every day I make up sentences with new words in written form and write comments. To remember the words easier I imagine the situation in which I can use them. When l have some free time I can read, listen or watch any kind of news, TV shows, films and music. I often watch The Ellen Show. But last week I watched a number of videos about Frida Kahlo. I also love videos about animals and nature. Music is my favourite kind of arts. So I can listen to any music and any singer. Some time ago I listened a lot to Eminem and Celine Dion. I found one channel where I can follow the words of the song on the video while listening to it. There's no one to talk to in English by my side, so I speak out loud to myself and read extracts from books and articles aloud. I began to read the book "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It's easy to read as this book is for children. But it turned out to be a kind and moving story, so I gonna read it till the end. I even found the audio version on You Tube. Thus, first I read the book and look for the unknown words in the dictionary, and then read and listen to the text on the video. It helps to improve pronunciation and spelling skills. Sometimes when I'm in mood I work on my pronunciation with the help of tongue twisters. From my own experience I can say that learning rhymes, poems, dialogues and texts by heart can be very helpful too. If I'm not sure about any grammar points I consult Grammar books or look for the rules in the net.
Hi Bob, I'm used to listening to one specific podcast or story, more than ten times to stick it in my mind. Sometimes just listening and sometimes listening and reading, at the same time. when you started posting your podcasts, it really made me happy😄 Thank you very much for teaching us🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸
Sir, i am very much interested to write my comments because i get reply from the great teacher i have ever seen in my life. I am from India. Works in Government service and we write and send communications in English, the sweet language, but we dont speak it fluently. But sometimes our officers speak very fluently in meetings, and I get stuck if i speak, so I speak in mothertongue. I am watching you for the last few months. I understand everything you say except few. So i always watch your videos happily. Now i started speaking inmy office with people who are interested, but i cant say everything as i wish. Listening is the main thing which i do. I listen to videos done in english by different people, in various topics, i write down all the usages which are new to me. I have note book in which i note down all the new words from your class. When i listen to you i feel that its very easy to learn because we are familiar to your accent. There is a lot more to write, sir.
Hi Bob! I'm from Brazil and just bought a book named "the catcher in the rye".That's how I'll start to improve my English reading skills.I think this is not too easy to read but It also isn't too much hard.🙌🙌🙌😀😀😀😀Regards from Brazil!😸😸😸
Hi, Bob ,I come form China. I've seen your channel for a long time ,but this is my first time to sent messages. I just want to thank you. I'm reading a book calls 'FLIPPED'. And i really like Robbie Williams' songs. I don't usually to write something use english. So this comment costs me about 25 minutes. It's so bed for me. I really like to speak with english to improve my speaker skill. But don't have many native speaker to talking with me. That's annoy.
I'm glad you took the time to write this comment even though it took some time! Good work! Robbie Williams has some really great songs. I like "Angels". It is such a great song! 📙📺🎧
As I start studying english language it was quite interesting because I can organize my everyday life and that's because of you guys. You're ideas was so broad and it was really amazing. I also like your videos bob. It was really helpful so I want to say thank you. "Thank you, BOB"

I'm curious about the book, "The Coaching Habit..." It sounds like something I should read. Sometimes when I'm leading a classroom it is so direct and I would like to allow students a bit more freedom. I'll check it out and see if it relates to teaching. Thanks for these suggestions! 📙🎧📺
Teacher Bob.. Your methods very usefull dan help us to increase our English... I spend almost my every single free time for wachting your video.. Best regards from Indonesia
Firstly, reading. I started to read the Hitchhiking guide to the Galaxy, but then I realized that it's not interesting for me and I believe that book is pretty advanced. So I came back to my night book, Goosebumps. Next, writing. I'm preparing for taking an IELTS so I am re-writing letters and essays. Also I have a chat with my wife only on English. Listening. It's the easiest part 😉. Podcasts (Voice of America, All Ears English and others). It also includes UA-cam videos, videogames, movies, TV shows. Now I am watching Pokemons. I assume that English in Pokemons is difficult enough to understand 100% of it. Speaking. Shadowing and TPRS method. I found out a cool guy AJ Hoge and his lessons Powerful English. It really helped me with speaking.
Hi Bob, how are you doing? I just want to thank you for all of your time that you have been spending teaching us. You have been making our English learning easier.
The most difficult part for me is speaking. Now I practice "shadowing technique", trying to repeat aloud after Bob the Canadian on his second channel "Really Short English Lessons". My wife jokes, that I speak so fast she never heard me speak native language. And my son says it looks funny, like I argue with Bob. But ... it works!
That is a great thing to do. Shadowing can really help you to not only learn new words and phrases, but it makes you physically move your mouth to form the words properly. Good work!
Excuse me，could you tell me what does “shadowing technique” mean？
@@jerrywang6611 You are listening soundtrack, audio book, etc. and speaking the text out loud at the same time.
@@Aleksey_FE I get it.thanks a lot！
@@jerrywang6611 It is like sing a song along with your favorite singer. In this case, you speak at the same pace (speed) the narrator does trying to use the same pronunciation and intonation. To do this you have to rewind over and over again.
Hello Bob. I read English wiki and simple English wiki. I use cambridge vocabulary for determining some words that I don't know. I listen to your video with subtitles on and then off. I downloaded a list of the 5000 most use English words in daily conversation .that is it yet. I do my best to reach some good result. I started only two and half
month ago. Thank a lot for your job Bob. it is useful for me. Keep doing what you are doing. Greeting from Ukraine with the best wishes for you and your family.
That sounds awesome! I'm glad to hear that you are using the Simple English wiki as well. It is such a little known resource for people learning English. Great job! Keep it up! 📙🎧📺
Hello again. To improve my listening and speaking skills, I have established a daily routine and it works very well:
Every morning I take my car to go to work and I listen to English podcasts. And then, on my way back from work I think about what I've heard in the morning and I try to speak about it to myself. Sometimes the topic of the podcast doesn't inspire me, so I talk about what I'm going to do later in the evening, or what my day has been like.
In the beginning I felt a bit weird, but I'm getting used to talking to myself. It's really really helpful to overcome the shyness of speaking.
Greetings from France
The fact that you are talking to yourself in the past, and in the future is a very good idea. Often new English speakers get stuck speaking in the present tense, but it is more exciting to talk about the things you have done and the things you will do! 📙📺🎧
I would like to learn french
Dany can you make me learn
@@amaravathilawtimes3357
Ok, but I can only afford to write a bit from time to time. Maybe answer some questions. Sorry, I'm a very busy woman...
@@danycdn2066 thank you
Hey Bob and the whole community there!!!
Currently I'm reading the book "The woman in the window" from A.J. Finn. It's slightly too advanced for my upper-intermidiate level. There are many words I don't know. But as the story is very thrilling and gripping I keep reading anyway. I only look up words when I cannot understand the meaning of a sentence. Otherwise I try to guess the meaning in context. This way I don't have to interrupt my reading too often and I don't lose interest in the book.
I definitely recommand this book for readers from intermediate to advanced level.
Greetings from France
Your strategy is very sound. At a certain point you just have to keep reading instead of stopping to look up every word. It is a balance between stopping often enough to look up words for understanding, and not losing interest. You seem to have found this balance! Good job! 📺🎧📙
Dany CDN that was very encouraging to learn mor about English.
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian hello Mr bob i want to thank you for your time and tell you I am farmer too . you can visit me if you have a time . I am from Morocco
It's geat to chat with you. If you are reading digital books so I would like to recomend you please instal a dictionary which has coping function. During the reading a vocabulary comes just select and copy and a pop will show you the whole thing from the dictionary.
I read and learn New words , new phrases everyday and listen to your video and other UA-camrs and watch movie and take to myself .
I'm Brazilian, You are the best Bob🇧🇷
Thanks Rafael! 📙📺🎧
I read newspapers and I practice my English writing with my girlfriend , she is from the USA, I am improving my English with her, I listen to Bohemian Rhapsody, this song helped me to improve my English listening skills, and I watch documentaries on UA-cam,I listen to BBC Learning English, and sometimes I practice my speaking on Hallo Application, to be honest I have to improve my English, because one day I want to visit USA.
I think that having a girlfriend from the U.S. is awesome! I highly recommend that you treat her like gold! 📺🎧📙
Learn English with Bob the Canadian you’re right, I’m going to meet her visit U.S, I pray for that 😄😄😄
I am from Thailand Thank you for English teacher

That is a great series (I've even read one of them). The English will be very straight-forward and you will learn a lot! Great choice! 📙🎧📺

Hi Bob, I'm from Italy Sicily, thanks for everything, you are a great teacher 🙏
Hi,Bob. Your channel is so amazing and useful for me . I appreciate it. Believe me you are the best on UA-cam.👍🙏🌸🙏🙏🙏 Listening,writing and speaking have been improved by your fantastic channel. Many thanks for your wonderful teaching. God bless you 🌸🙏🙏🙏🙏🍀🌷🌸🌹🌻🌺💐🌼
I'm happy to help! 📙🎧📺
Dear Bob,
Best wishes from Russia! Just my luck to come across your channel right now. I've been reading "Dandelion Wine" by Ray Bradbury. It's the most heart touching thing i've ever read. It's a must-read, goes without saying, i can't but recommend to everyone here. Sincerest thanks for your work. See you!
Hi teacher Bob thankyou
You are welcome Maria! 📺🎧📙
thank you teacher !
You are welcome! 📙📺🎧
Hello to everybody! Thank you, Bob, for these really great lessons. I appreciate this warm and welcoming atmosphere of your lessons! I teach English in Russia and I get tons of useful tips from your videos. We can find grammar in school books, but we'd never find this real vivid speaking language there! I'm recommending your lessons to some of my students this week as a way to improve listening. Hope, they'll get hooked on the videos instead of all that trash.☺ Do what you do and love it as you do now! 🇨🇵 I've got a question: Have you thought of making some kind of the same videos for French-learning students? I'm learning French and would be eager to practice it here. Thanks for reading! 🙂
Thanks for the kind words! I appreciate it. I'm glad you are finding my video useful and to answer your question I have no plans to start a French channel. I am a native English speaker, but I'm not a native French speaking, it is a learned language for me and I have an accent. It's better in my opinion to learn a language from a native speaker if you can! Thanks for the suggestion though! I appreciate your confidence in me! 📙📺🎧
Very useful video, sharing experience
I hope the comments from other learners helps you as well! 📙📺🎧
I haven't been reading any book in English lately. But I've read some books in English and it helped me improving my vocabulary and grammar too.
As for as movies, I love a movie called 'a walk to remember' and I've wached it in English many many times.
I really like watching contents in English on UA-cam.
I try to practice my speaking and writing skills as much as possible.
Greetings from Brazil, Bob.

Hi Bob!
I spend an hour studying English everyday. I study physics and my mother tongue is German.
I have my own plan:
Mon: Reading / Pronunciation
Tue: Listening / Vocabulary
Wed: Reading / Pronunciation
Thu: Listening / Vocabulary
Fri: Reading / Pronunciation
Sat: Listening / Vocabulary
Sun: Listening / Vocabulary
Reading / Pronunciation: I read the CBC news out loud and look up every word that I don’t know and if I don’t know the pronunciation of a word, I look it up on Youglish (or other homepages). The main goal is to practice my pronunciation and learn new vocabularies.
Listening / Vocabulary: For listening I watch series or movies. At the time I watch the series Breaking Bad. Other series I’ve watched or I’m going to watch are Mr. Robot and Community. First I watch an episode with subtitles and write down every phrase or word that I don’t know. After that I learn these phrases and words. Then I watch the episode again without subtitles and try to understand everything.
As you see I don’t do much speaking and writing at the moment. My main goal at the moment is to be able to understand English (I want to be able to watch movies and read newspapers or books without having much troubles with the vocabulary). After I’ve reached this goal, I want to find native speakers on the internet for practicing writing and speaking and after I’m done with studying Physics (2022) I want to move to Canada.
CBC news is great. The stories are well written and if you watch the news on TV the reporters are well spoken. I started watching Mr. Robot, but I just couldn't get into it. I hope you have better luck! 📙📺🎧 I wish you all the best with your studies and I hope you can find a way to move to Canada some day!
Hi，Bob, Good Evening. thank you.
Thanks Bob...im italian and live in Rome....i became a tourist guide only 2months ago and i passed all the english exams also thanks your lesson....now i have to improve listening.....
Hi Bob,
I’m a preschool teacher and I practice English with kids and parents. 😊
Hello, BOB the Canadian Sir. I am from Indian in the state of Punjab. It is where more students want to continue their future studies in Canada. I am learning English through you .you are the best teacher.
Thanks for reading my message.
🙏🏻👌🏻Canada 🇨🇦👍🏻.keep it up.
Hi teacher
First of all thanks for your kind efforts to help learning more ❤️ and your ❤️ follow up plans of listeners
I follow my old own plan to improve my skills of English as I estimate my level an intermediate.
Reading: the current book I read a book of Raymond Murphy (second edition) called "English Grammar in Use" to check and increase a wide range of grammar.
Listening: I practice listening to you and to many others ❤️ like Ganesh, Gabby Wallace etc.. (actually I feel that I can understand more than 90% of yours and little less in news of TV channels.
Writing: I write many comments, answers of exercises, and many messages to my relatives who ask me to serve their correspondence.
Speaking: every day I speak with my nephew who lives in USA.
Hi Bob! I really appreciate you for your teaching! Neither other English-teaching channel made me took everyday actions to learn English like this does.
Now let’s talk about studying plan. A lot of activities described in plan I have already done for some period (such as reading, listening and watching TV series), so I use it to make my studying more structured.
1. Reading.
I tried to read a lot and here is my daily reading routine:
- In the morning I’m reading the article of the day on Wikipedia
- During a break on my job I’m reading some book. I’m already read “Charlotte's Web” by E. B. White (beginner level), “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” by Roald Dahl (beginner level), “The Headless Horseman” by Mayne Reid (something between intermediate and advanced level) and the last one is “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill (intermediate level).
- Before putting my son to bed I read for him few pages from “Winnie-the-Pooh” by A. A. Milne (beginner level).
- Then, before going to bed myself, I continue to read my current book.
- And during the day, I read some technical instructions on my job or look for something on Wikipedia (description of the movie, someone biography, etc.)
2. Writing.
The biggest move in this direction was finding a pen pal. Here is a recommendation for the other students - you can try to find someone to talk with on reddit there are a lot of Subreddits where people seeking for long-term conversation.
By the way, if someone wants to start pan paling with me, feel free to text me via reddit. Here is my nickname: wonder_raccoon.
3. Listening.
It is the easiest one. I’m listening podcasts from ESLpod.com, different streams (especially Bob’s one) and audio versions of books which I’m reading at the moment on my way to work or home, and sometimes during the work day.
In the evening I watch 1 episode of some TV show. The last once was “Fringe”.
4. Speaking.
It’s totally opposite to listening. I mean the toughest once. All my speaking is a bit reading and describing my everyday life out loud.
I don't talk to people yet. Maybe it’s because of lack of time, or maybe because I’m shy of my accent and poor vocabulary, and low speed of speech.
I’m planning to gain some confidence and start to visit local english-speaking club.
5. Vocabulary.
I found that all these games and apps doesn’t work for me, so I use some old school notebook.
I'm reading news in Google, I'm writing in UA-cam comments like this, I want to start reading "The graet Gatsby" and I've been trying to practice speaking with a workmate, It's all that I've been doing for improve my English.
Thank you for your videos, they are very useful
For reading, I try to read as much as possible and I have a long list.
For listening, I watch your videos of course and enjoy them.
For vocabulary, when I hear a new Word I write it down in a note and put it in a wall.
For speaking, I follow that channel on youtube named listen and learn English.
For writing, I use a daily question app which sand you question every day to write about it.
Hello, Bob!
I am from Russia. In last time, I am trying to write not only on the keyboard, but and to use pen into the my copybook. And I noticed that I can write without looking up in the text. I am listening the podcasts, watching UA-cam (Joe Rogan). I am reading a book called "The Subtle art ...." Mark Manson. Else I use such apps as Duolingo and Linguoleo together. I turn over page my life to English environment. And I am not going to stop!
Hi!
In everyday, I’m reading a book(Narnia) and Magazine(Science focus) with my voice. I’m listening one article in daily news first, and then I’m reading an article. After that, I’m listening and reading with my voice again. Finally, I’m writing the article if I’m understand it fully. This is my daily routine.
Thank you so much Bob. Alg
Hello from Korea.
I've just finished the book "Nine perfect strangers" by Liane Moriarty.
It took almost six weeks for me to read it all. When I read any book written in English, I just don't read it through like native English speakers reading novels.
Even though when I understand what each sentence means, I try to kind of memorize the way the sentence is written when I find it quite different from the way I use in Korean. As the way of thinking, and the way of expressing is quite different, I think it is quite necessary to get accustomed to the way the native English speakers speaks their own language.
So, I kind of analyze the structure of any sentence which is quite strange to me. I try to read the sentence over and over again till I speak the whole expression quite naturally without looking at it.
I also write all the expressions which are quite difficult on my notebook so that I could read them all over again when I forget them in the future.
Your videos are extremely helpful. Thanks.
Hi teacher Bob! Thank you!
Every morning I am hearing a youtube videos on English when I walk to job.
In the evening I watch your videos and then I am reading a book called "300 topics", and the book also have russian topics, usually I read 10 pages.
Then, sometime I rewrite one or more topics.
And I am always playing Duolingo.
In the weekend I try to join your Live stream
That sounds like a great plan. I think it is cool that you are doing Duolingo. I did the French on Duolingo every day for a year and made it to the end. I am currently thinking about redoing it, but I don't have a lot of time. Great suggestions! Thanks! 📙🎧📺
Thanks for your time and I’m very excited
You are welcome Habib! 📙🎧📺
These years I try to learn English from magazine. It is named "Let's talk in English"
It has many kinds of topics I can learn. I can listen the host and roles to speak English.
Everyday, I will watch UA-camr's videoes , just like Bob and I will keep diary in English at least over
three sentences. I also talk to foreigner once a week!
Hi, Bob. I have read five books in this year. These are 1. Chronicles Of Narnia Conqueror of the dawn by Clive Lewis. 2. Stories by Jack London. 3. If I stay by Geil Forman. 4. Post office by Charles Bukovsky. 5. Chronicles Of Narnia Silver chair. Now, I have been reading Ten litttle Indians by Agatha Christie.
You are the best teacher i've found,
God bless you
Thx Bob!
You're welcome! 📙🎧📺
I was a bit sick yesterday so I just crashed into the bed after work so I can listen your lesson only today. I get an English magazine every month and I read this magazine to improve my English reading skills. I also practice my English writing skills by writing several articles out of this magazine. I practice to improve my English listening skills listening your English videos but I also watch InteractiveEnglish and mmmenglish. And I watch Mojo and a few videos about my favorite American films in English. Speaking? I have no big chance to practice, I do it alone rarely.
Thank you very much sir
You are very welcome! 📙📺🎧
I always practice my English and reading before I go to bed 🛌 Thank you teacher!!
That is a great time to practice and I'm happy to hear that you have a regular time to practice. This always helps! Good work! 📙🎧📺
Advice for a long time, watching the survivor television program, also a video about food, about cooking (Natashas kitchen) because of this I enjoyed watching the video where you made the cookies and understood almost everything. Every day I read for 20-30 minutes, I talk to myself in front of the mirror and to Siri, now Siri understands me well and even answers☺️ This is all from your advice and it all works! thanks! I recommend you all!

Hello, teacher Bob!
I am a pharmacist.
I often talk about health care with online English teachers.
Through these conversations, I can get new specialized vocabularies and expressions about medicine.
I'm a beginner at English, but recently I started my UA-cam channel in English.
It is videos about medicine.
I need scripts for these videos.
But when I write the script, I can study English writing.
After that, I ask my online English teacher to check the script that I wrote.
Through these processes, I can acquire new vocabularies and expressions, and I can also study writing, speaking, reading, etc.
Hi Bob. Firstly I want to greet you and let you know that you are the best english teacher I've ever met. Coming back to the topic of the video... I usually practice my listening skills (expecially with your videos) and your videos are very very useful to increase my vocabulary as well. I do some speaking practice once a week with a mothertongue teacher. The practise I do less is writing, so I'm very glad to write you this message and I really hope that you answer to me. Bye. You are the best. Mattia from Italy
Hi Teacher! a lot of people’s love you and your channel thank you so much!
Thanks for the Video Teacher Bob!!I've been learning English for almost 6 months now.When i was young i had attended lessons through Private English school...you know like a class or something in the afternoon.Then i had stopped and "Today" i'm back again...also i use the Preply and i have a Tutor!
I'm glad you found a tutor. Even though it does cost money it can really help you progress faster as you always know you will be having a conversation at some point in the week and you study hard so that you have something to talk about. Good job! 📺🎧📙

Hi Bob am jamal from 🇸🇩 Khartoum am the one of your best follow up every day time thank you for your helping me my God richly bless you 🙏
Hi Bob! I follow you a long time but I am not sure that the first time I leave a comment on your channel. I try to practice English every day as possible as I have time to do it. I think maybe it is hard to learn something is not my first language like English but your channel, have been a part of learning English for me. I am from Thailand.
Hello Bob! I'm Ramon from China. There are some things that I do everyday to improve my English. According to when I do It , I'll divide them into 3 sections and here we are. What i do firstly in morning is that I revise all the vocabularies coming from reading and listening that I learned yesterday, and after that I read a long article released in BBC news at the meantime I write down all the unknown words in my laptop in order that I can revise them in the second day, and then i copy the article i have read and paste it into my computer as a document and then I read loudly a piece of previous documents so that I can rainforce what I have learned and practice my oral muscle. In afternoon I revise more words as what I do in morning, and then I do some English comprehension about one and half an hour, and I aslo read a short article from BBC news. In evening I watch two or three your videos posted on Tuesday and i repeat what I have heard and after that I write my views about the long article that I read in morning. My regular study task always ends up with reading a little article aloud and during that time I try to pronounce as clearly as I can. But these things I do everyday is temporary because actually I'm taking IELTS course, but I can't go out to take the course due to the nwe coronavirus. By the way I really really love Post Malone, he is so amazing and I also love Imagine Dragons.
This is an awesome plan Ramon. You will surely be making great progress each day! Awesome! Keep it up! 📙🎧📺 (P.S. Imagine Dragons has some really cool songs! Great choice!)
thank you, Bob. I am a Taiwanese. Your video is really great!!!
Hello from Russia!)
Thanks for the interesting video!
You are very welcome! 📙🎧📺
Hi Bob! How are you? Unfortunately I have not participated in your lives due to my work, but I'm always following you...
Lately, I have read and wrote some papers in English, it's being my first experience to write something like that in English, and I hope they be accepted. I have exercising my writing too leaving comments in the best English Learning UA-cam channel!!
In my daily routine, I have practice my reading, and listening though Biblegateway website. Over there, there are a lot of languages versions of the bible, and in particular English NVI with dramatized audio. It's awesome!! My speaking, maybe you think I'm crazy, but to try practice, I talk by my self, and sometimes I imagine myself talking to you!!! It's very funny!!! But... I have worked!
Big hug my friend, and keep doing your brilliant work. God bless you!!
Religious texts are a great way to refresh yourself spiritually and learn a language at the same time. Because you are already familiar with the Bible in your native language it becomes a natural conduit to learning new vocabulary. 📙📺🎧 Good to see you here! I'm sorry that work is taking up so much of your time, but hey, if you like your work that isn't such a big deal!
Bob I pratice every day my english, I read books, texts and watching videos in english. I listening many english podcasts and when I have a chance I pratice conversation with a english group in my city. I like your videos and I saw every day without subtitles.
For listening :news
For speaking :speak with myself before the mirror or sometimes with my sister
For writing: I made an account on Twitter for tweeting
For reading:sometime read a story
Of course I need a friend for practising with, is any one there to practice with me to improve our English language ?
Thank you Mr Bob for explaining
I am glad that you are also a teacher and helping learner across world like the way I am doing. Good to know you
You are really a professional teacher because your narrative is so fluent.
You should see the failed attempts when it isn't! That video I had to shoot twice because I made so many mistakes! You only see the good versions! 📺🎧📙
From January until now I listened to 3 audiobook ( 1.your money or your life 2. Rich Dad and poor Dad 3. How to stop worrying and start living .) my strategy listening to the audio like one or two sentences and then paused and then I read the sentences loudly . I think this nice and easy way to practice listening and reading and speaking loudly to train your English speaking muscles 😉 thank you so much Mr. Bob I learned to much from you
Your plan sounds really good. That way you are listening and shadowing. Good stuff! Keep it up! 📺🎧📙
I thank you because you are helping my English growing day after day.
I've read lots of books in English. Now rereading Kate Morton's 'The Lake House'. This Australian writer belongs to the Victorian movement. Always some mystery in her novels. Listening: English Speeches for graduates at a university, Talks at Google, TV shows, movies only in English with English subtitles. Speaking: very little, but I found out recently I'm talking to myself in English and that I'm understanding more than before.
Re-reading is a good strategy. Any time you can read something twice, watch it twice, etc it is really good for your learning. Good work! I'm glad to hear you're making progress! 📺🎧📙
Beautiful place
I read mostly short articles instead of reading books. But of course at my own level. I'm writing the words on my flashcards I don't know the meaning. Then I repeat it constantly to memorize them -This is my old technic because today I discovered this channel and I wanted to join you with this comment :) -
U r the best teacher
And thank u for your nice and useful videos
You are welcome Sumaya Ahadi! 📙📺🎧
Dear Bob, greetings from Colombia, I've been enjoying watching your videos and have really helped me improve my poor English,
I love yours videos. Thanks.
You're welcome! 📙📺🎧
Hello from Russia, thanks, the lesson's interesting, and planing of learning English for 5 days a week is a great idea
Now I watch some movies in English and want to speak English better😊
I'm glad you like the plan and I hope it goes really well for you! 📺🎧📙
1) I read
the great gatsby
meiko's treasure
The secret garden
Stars my destination alfred bester
The mist Stephen king
2) I really didn't this, well, i'm right now in a English course and I write all saturdays and in Facebook, UA-cam and all that, even in word to make homeworks so.
3) Listening.
This is my strongest part, i usually hear CCR, SOAD, Eminem, ABBA, Bob Marley since many years so I ever hear english and podcast and Bob's channel, even more english channels to learn more vocabulary, i ever hear english every day, at least 1 to 3 hours at day, AND your videos helps a lot.
4) this is the most dificcult part cause I only can talk with prople in the course and with my self, i usually speak to my dog on English and to my self when i'm at home making stuff and all that you know
5) Reading and Speaking, specially Reading and watching videos is for me the Best way to learn NEW vocabulary, ever, dude i looked for job, sports, felling, techincal, good, AND a lot more kind of vocabulary, even when I read Isaac Isimov Books I learn NEW words, i could say that I learn NEW words each day.
Personally what make a strong difference in my learmign was READING, Watching videos bout NEW vocabulary and some structure, watching móvies, Listening songs of course But Reading is in first place dude.
I dont even knew that "restless" was a way to express.
AND my weaker part is Speaking cause I need to practice fluency in a normal convesation you know.
I practice my listening by watching UA-cam videos on topics that I enjoy. For instance, I watch Kings and Generals to learn more about History and improve my English.
And I practice writing by... writing here :)
Hello Bob, I start almost every morning by watching one of your short English lessons and write a repetition in a notebook. I like to do this :-)
That is awesome Karl. I'm glad you find those videos useful. Some days I wonder if it is worth it to make them. This comment makes it worth it! 📺🎧📙
Hi, I am from VietNam.I am reading any comments in this video. I usually hear Bob on the bus as I am moving outside. I see interesting to watching video from Bob.

Hi Bob the canadaian i’m interesting with you method to learn english and now every single day i’m reading english book and listening english podcasts to learn english and to improve my speech and vocabulary
For reading : I pick up the online magazine named Corporate kinghts. For listening: I practise with VOA and Bob Canadian. For speaking: I practise to myself. And for writing: I write about 30 minutes every night.
Hello Bob! Thank you for your great work to teach us English!
I will try to respond to you.
1. Reading - Firstly I've been reading a lot of social network posts, especially Twitter (Elon Mask and other famous people), Secondly, I found Cambridge Dictionary On-Line and there read articles.
2. Listening - While I drive to my work and after work back home, I listen to the American Gods Audio Book in English, however sometimes I can't understand all.
3. Speaking - I can't afford a native speaker teacher, so I hire a tutor from Armenia to conversation practice and he teach me English and we almost every time speak in English.
4. Dictionary - I use an application on my phone to learn new words, I do it daily and repeat almost thirty words every day. Also, I write words down and describe them in English in my notebook.
During I have lunch I watch videos on UA-cam, mostly one channel, it called Learn English with Bob the Canadian)) also some interesting channels with reviews of new gadgets (Unbox Therapy, I think the author also from Canada), as I like computer technologies.
Also, I watch a tv channel in the evening after dinner, it called the English Club TV, every day there shows movies in English with subtitles. I'm going to rewatch The Friend in English with subtitles.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I'm on the list! American Gods is a really good book. I have read almost all of Neil Gaiman's books and I loved them. My favourite was Neverwhere. It sounds like you have a great plan in place and I love it that you have such a diverse range of topics. Everything from Fiction to UA-cam with Unbox Therapy. Just awesome! Good work! 📙📺🎧
I'm reading "Peter Pan" by J.Barrie : I have only discovered your courses for two weeks, and I want to thank you very very much; in a short time I discover that I can understand and begin to speak and think in English. Beautifu the landscapes of your countryside! Your nice face is interesting too: maybe I'll make you a portrait to thank you! greetings from Italy
Hi Bob these days I am reading up 'What it takes' wrote by Schwarzman.In this book he did share his experience, his life as a student and as an engager in Wall Street. It really helps me a lot in English learning.
Cool. I have not read it. It would be what we call a "Motivational Book" in English. A book to help you make yourself a better person, or boss, or employee. It looks interesting! 📙🎧📺
I like to read articles and watch youtube videos, but I'm not confident about speaking. I'm using Anki to improve my vocabulary and I'm able to understand what you are saying with no subtitle, not 100% but it's a good beginning for me. Thanks Bob.
Thanks so much 🌹
A couple of weeks ago I decided to refresh and improve my knowledge of English. I began to watch daily video lessons of three teachers on You Tube. Two of them speak British English and one speaks American. Bob, no need to say that you're one of these teachers. Watching their videos helps me to improve my oral comprehension skills and to enrich my vocabulary. To tell the truth, I don't even try to remember all the words I just enjoy the process of learning smth new. But every day I make up sentences with new words in written form and write comments. To remember the words easier I imagine the situation in which I can use them. When l have some free time I can read, listen or watch any kind of news, TV shows, films and music. I often watch The Ellen Show. But last week I watched a number of videos about Frida Kahlo. I also love videos about animals and nature. Music is my favourite kind of arts. So I can listen to any music and any singer. Some time ago I listened a lot to Eminem and Celine Dion. I found one channel where I can follow the words of the song on the video while listening to it. There's no one to talk to in English by my side, so I speak out loud to myself and read extracts from books and articles aloud. I began to read the book "A Little Princess" by Frances Hodgson Burnett. It's easy to read as this book is for children. But it turned out to be a kind and moving story, so I gonna read it till the end. I even found the audio version on You Tube. Thus, first I read the book and look for the unknown words in the dictionary, and then read and listen to the text on the video. It helps to improve pronunciation and spelling skills. Sometimes when I'm in mood I work on my pronunciation with the help of tongue twisters. From my own experience I can say that learning rhymes, poems, dialogues and texts by heart can be very helpful too. If I'm not sure about any grammar points I consult Grammar books or look for the rules in the net.
I love your lesson. You and RachalEnglish the Best.... And thanks
Hi Bob, I'm used to listening to one specific podcast or story, more than ten times to stick it in my mind. Sometimes just listening and sometimes listening and reading, at the same time.
when you started posting your podcasts, it really made me happy😄 Thank you very much for teaching us🌺🌻🌹🌷🌸
Hello from Azerbaijan. Your videos is great!
Thanks Ibrahim! 📙🎧📺
Sir, i am very much interested to write my comments because i get reply from the great teacher i have ever seen in my life. I am from India. Works in Government service and we write and send communications in English, the sweet language, but we dont speak it fluently. But sometimes our officers speak very fluently in meetings, and I get stuck if i speak, so I speak in mothertongue. I am watching you for the last few months. I understand everything you say except few. So i always watch your videos happily. Now i started speaking inmy office with people who are interested, but i cant say everything as i wish. Listening is the main thing which i do. I listen to videos done in english by different people, in various topics, i write down all the usages which are new to me. I have note book in which i note down all the new words from your class. When i listen to you i feel that its very easy to learn because we are familiar to your accent. There is a lot more to write, sir.

Hi, Bob ,I come form China. I've seen your channel for a long time ,but this is my first time to sent messages. I just want to thank you. I'm reading a book calls 'FLIPPED'. And i really like Robbie Williams' songs. I don't usually to write something use english. So this comment costs me about 25 minutes. It's so bed for me. I really like to speak with english to improve my speaker skill. But don't have many native speaker to talking with me. That's annoy.
I'm glad you took the time to write this comment even though it took some time! Good work! Robbie Williams has some really great songs. I like "Angels". It is such a great song! 📙📺🎧
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Angels is my favorite song about Robbie Williams.

I'm curious about the book, "The Coaching Habit..." It sounds like something I should read. Sometimes when I'm leading a classroom it is so direct and I would like to allow students a bit more freedom. I'll check it out and see if it relates to teaching. Thanks for these suggestions! 📙🎧📺
Teacher Bob.. Your methods very usefull dan help us to increase our English... I spend almost my every single free time for wachting your video.. Best regards from Indonesia
Firstly, reading. I started to read the Hitchhiking guide to the Galaxy, but then I realized that it's not interesting for me and I believe that book is pretty advanced. So I came back to my night book, Goosebumps.
Next, writing. I'm preparing for taking an IELTS so I am re-writing letters and essays. Also I have a chat with my wife only on English.
Listening. It's the easiest part 😉. Podcasts (Voice of America, All Ears English and others). It also includes UA-cam videos, videogames, movies, TV shows. Now I am watching Pokemons. I assume that English in Pokemons is difficult enough to understand 100% of it.
Speaking. Shadowing and TPRS method. I found out a cool guy AJ Hoge and his lessons Powerful English. It really helped me with speaking.
I like you teaching because I can listening to you understand I like all your videos 😉
Hi Bob, how are you doing? I just want to thank you for all of your time that you have been spending teaching us. You have been making our English learning easier.
