“Can I learn English by myself?”

- How can you learn a language by yourself? In this video, I’ll provide suggestions and resources that can help you get over the challenges studying on your own and get you to the next level. I know it’s not possible for everyone to go to a language school or to get a private teacher, and the good news is, you don’t need those things if you have the motivation to truly learn something, and if you have the right resources. The best part about learning a language alone? There are limitless FREE resources to help you learn online! However, if you do reach a level where you feel you need more practical language, check out my book, 200 Practical English Idioms: www.engvid.com/to/alexidioms
I also offer private classes if you’re an intermediate or upper intermediate student who has specific questions, or if you just want a conversation partner. To buy the book or sign up for private classes, go to www.englishalex.com/

my English is improving day by day by the engved video
I woke up at 5am
I pray to Solat and I practice English speaking myself. Look: if you study English regularly each day, step by step, your vocabulary will increase. Happy learning watching from Ethiopia 🇪🇹

I have been studying english by myself for 13 years Everyday i learn some new and i love to study english is my passion
I'm 64, l learn a lot from you, thank you so much Alex 👍
I have learned English by myself. I have beenworking as an interpreter in the Uk for 15 years. ❤
Oh wow! That’s inspiring.
Hello, Alex!
I've been learning English by myslef for over 9 years specifically since 2014.
I've applied all learning techniques and methods e.g watching video lessons on engvid and UA-cam, doing online free courses, reading books and looking up new words and add them to my flashcards app with definitions and example sentences so forth.
And since 2017 I've become a private Tutor of English. I've been teaching all school stages and giving foundation courses for young students so far.
At the end of the day and simirizingly, I gained lots of teaching experience, increased my vocabulary and my English level rose to B2 a few weeks ago.
Hi, Alex. I've been learning English for 14 months: 8 months in English courses, and 6 months by myself (I decided to stop learning in courses at New Year). How do I continue learning English by myself? I watch and listen to English teachers on UA-cam, only two teachers (Bob the Canadian, and you - Alex), leave comments below the videos, watch videos in my specialty(internet marketing, investments), try to make my own sentences on different topics (gerund, to be, phrasal verbs, irregular verbs, different tenses, etc), write down unfamiliar words in my vocabulary (by the way, I've already had more than 2500 words in my vocabulary! It's a lot for me.), repeat familiar words (Anki droid). I don't use apps, don't watch films, don't listen to songs. I don't know why, maybe I don't like it. I don't watch films even in my native language.
What will I plan to do in the near future? I'm going to find an English native teacher, first of all, and continue to do all things what I do usually. Tha'ts it.
How do you (subscribers of Alex's channel) learn English?
I really like to work on my pronunciation singing songs along in my car. Or just repeat something many times even if I watch podcasts or videos. It really works all together!
I’ve learned English by myself(alone). I used the duolingo and watching movies for improving my English. And I did lots of meeting and speaking on Clubhouse. It’s really help you guys. I hope you all learn English easily. Have a good day 😊
Maybe we could I get your a count
In the fact I really need a person he wants to learn English and he should be a serious, we can talk lots of time and be perfect 👌 I hope
Probably, it would be more clear if you said something like this: "I used the Duolingo and watched movies ..."
It's really help you - isn't pretty correct. "It's really helpful to you" or "It will help you"
I would express that massange:
I have learned English by using the Duolingo and watching movies. I also had lots of meetings and conversations on Clubhouse. That will really help you guys if you apply my pieces of advice in your self-education.

how we can learn grammar
I just found a friend from USA and we chat every day with him, he helped me to improve my english greatly)
@sergei mazaev how do you found ur partner to converse in English?
Hi Alex.
I'm from Tehran in Iran and
I have watched most of your
videos since last month.
It was great working with you.
Good job
I'm studying alone and because in my county we don't have access to any real English teachers actually it is tough to find a teacher that you will level you up and engvid help me a lot in my journey🌹🌹🌹
One of my reason that why l learned English by myself is i don't have anyone in my area to practice with . So my tools to learn English are : listening a lot, watching videos, elso reading books with all of this materials i still struggling with
I actually learning English by myself. Because I have no other way to learn it. I can read and understand but my level of English is only intermediate. I want to advance and speak fluently in English. I always got stuck everytime I attempt to engage in an english conversation. Even a small talk with English speaking children in our neighborhood I can't find the right words to response!😂😂😂 Pretty sure I have to study harder and practice more to be able to speak fluently. Btw I'm 73 but I dont stop learning English. I'm very much thankful I've found your channel. I am now your subscriber. Thanks much!
You're an amazing teacher. Although I've been learning English for many years, I'm still insecure, specially watching movies without subtitle. But with your tips, It'll become much more easier. Thanks a lot!
Elaborate things in calm an peaceful manner, nice video👍
when i started to study english language i set aside 5 pages per letter to writte the words corresponding to the letters for ex; words starting with letter A;amazing in front of this word you writte the pronuciation form and all letters starting with their first letters,and looking this every single day!
We miss you teacher welcome back 🙏
good morning Sister ( I am a woman) , i am relatively decent in English language and i am seeking a girl to practice with her my English skills. if you are interested in embarking on the journey please interact with me . Thank you in Advance
Are you from somalia
Yes 👍
Hello from France ! Thank you for this helpful video ! When I was decided to study English again (I had a pause for a few years and lost my English a little) I listened English all day long. On television (CNN BBC.. the news) and of course youtube : English lessons but also regular videos or vlogs with multiple topics. I made some huge progress in a very short period of time. I read also books, write a journal, comments on youtube.... it's so fun and inspiring !
You’re doing all the right things. I forgot to mention keeping an English journal as a great way to practice your writing. Even if it’s not 100% grammatically correct all the time, it’s still a good way to maintain contact with the language and use it.
Even though self- learning super beneficial , we have to have somebody who helps,encourages, supports us when we get frustrated. But I appreciate you suggestions, Alex.
First of all I have to say thanks for your lessons. I'm studying English language by my self and I'm listening audio books, reading books a loud and watching TV , grammar lessons from UA-cam.
Welcome i wish You again,, Heidi from Romanian
You are an EXCELLENT teacher. Thank you for the advice and suggestions to improve our English. In my case, I am using some of the ways you give us in this video, but additionally, I do something like this: I see and listen to videos on boxing from The World of Boxing channel --fights that are clearly narrated--, I transcribe the video in a big notebook, circle the words whose meanings I don´t know and write the words below with their meanings and pronunciation; I use a huge Webster´s dictionary --the CD-- then I make a couple of sentences with the new words. I always try to use the new words inside a real context, for example, if the verb is GO ALL OUT, my sentence is: "In the fight with Marvin Hagler, Tommy Hearns went all out from the very beginning."I always try to make a sentence whose whole meaning is totally inferable.
Love you Alex. Thanks for caring us. What you do for us means a lot to us. I wish health for you and for your family. Greetings from Turkiye :)
Totally agree. Even if I do not have the experience in studying abroad in English, it is possible that I can brush up on my English skills day in day out.
Thank you Alex for making an introduction to this topic. In fact, you collected a couple of general pieces of advice. A student who commence studying needs them and during his learning process these general ideas will become more precise.
You are correct that speaking out loud is the must. It is a kind of exercise which need to be practised on a regular basis.
You did not mention a word on establishing midterm goal of learning a foreign language. Another issues worth to mention: pronunciation and intonation and a battle with forgeting process of our mind.
Hope that you will create more lessons on this topic. Kindly prepare at least one lesson every six months as a follow up to this lesson. Thank you in advance.
....
Thank you Alex 😊
thank you so much alex ❤
we're here to learn from you
Absolutely possible. Thank you❤
Alex, thanks a lot for this video and thanks for continuing doing them!
You give us Very useful advice. I do all things that I find useful improve my english. First I focus on study my grammar rules, after that learn many vocabulary words and then I turn to exercise my speaking. By reading, pronouncing, speaking , listening english musics and movies I become better an better every day.
Thank you Alex.
Taking note is also important when learning new language.
Thanks for the tips Alex, They're really of great help for my self studying. Thumbs up to you!👍
Hey!
Thanks a lot!
My problem isnt money.
There are no native speakers around me.
I like to watch videos, sitcoms, listen to the american radio
Thanks for your advice teacher! I appreciate it. Thanks.🙂🙂🙂
Apprendre l’ anglais tout seul , une gageure, un défi !! « Mais impossible n’est pas français , comme disait Napoléon » !
Bien articulée sa prononciation, avec un débit ni trop rapide ni trop lent .
Notre ami canadien Alex . Toujours aussi sympathique, clair dans sa diction.
On a envie d’ apprendre avec lui, ses conversations bon enfant , son charisme sont des arguments qui nous poussent dans ce sens .
Beaucoup de plaisir à l ‘ entendre.
Un grand Merci à Alex .
Un Français qui vit en Amérique du Sud .
Thanks a lot for your good idea, Sir.
I have followed your channel for around 5 years now, and I don't watch all of your videos, but when I do so, they are amazing. I feel that you have helped me in some way on this learning process and I wanted to thank you! Blessings from Colombia :)

some of my strategies to learn english that i carry a note book as my wallet and record each new word i face at work, watching film, or even in scrolling on facebook
I've been learning English by myself like 2 years ago, but just watching videos and listening some music. So now I need to read out loud and pratice my speaking, cause I can read on my mind fast and understand it, but when I try to speak out loud, my brain just broke. I have to think a little bit more to form phrases, and it spends some time.
Step by step I'll learn somting new, and getting better every day.
Teacher thanks for this video inspiring alot of learners
You really gave me a lot of ideas thank u very much
Thank you so much ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 From Ethiopia
Thanks for You advice . I'm student apprentice.
Hi teacher thanks for your suggestions
THANKS "TEACHER ✌
I was self-taught until i found engvid. At first all that i used was dictionaries to better comprehend video games, movies and music. Then i went to college and started my shipbuilding degree and had to work even harder on my English because most of the materials, terminology and sources are in English, i've had a really hard time because of technical terms that were not easy to find, even on dictionary or web search, but i somehow managed. When i found engvid i was amazed how easily i could comprehend natives, and started to building vocabulary, i even had my first conversation with a native years ago when travelling. Today i understand 100% of what i listen and i'm currently working on my speaking skills reading out loud, shadowing everything that i can, speaking and creating situations on my head alone.
Hi, It's the first time that I write here I've watched your vídeos I think you are an excelent teacher,I'm not a very good in inglish but I want to learn,thanks for give us this help! You don't have idea how much means to me thanks so much😊🙋
I've been learning English by myself for years now...I got a base at school, and, after that, I've been upgrading my knowledge. I've put the accent on studying various textbooks and other books that I managed to acquire. I'm better at reading than listening, but I've been listening to some videos in English on UA-cam. I've also watched some videos from engVid - you, Alex, and some other teachers. I've even tried some websites for online conversation, but either those people were way below my level, or they wanted something else. No good experience with that. I want to thank you, Alex, for your posts and videos - They're very helpful! And to ask for your book that you mentioned in this video - Is it free for downloading? Best wishes!
Thanks boss
I always watch your videos, It's really useful. Thanks a lot.
Welcome back sir.
I have the three books you have published and i really apperciate the effort you put it in these books
Thank you so much for studying with me and for supporting my work. I’m glad the books are useful tools for you. :)
I study eng from the school , I decided to take eng seriously ،
maybe After mastering English
I will start studying Japanese
It will be hard but I will do my best
He is so perfect 💖🍁💖💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I study English with my teacher on an online platform twice a week and in addition I study the language using various UA-cam channels as well as your channel. Your videos are so helpful. I've been watching them for three months now.
That's great. Keep up your efforts.
Thanks so much please 👍
Great pdf Alex! I thought my English was pretty advanced, but it turned out I didn’t know many of the idioms you very clearly explained in the book. Thanks a lot.
Thanks, Agnieszka! I’m glad it was instructive and useful. :)
Hi Alex,thank you for your videos, I'm watching you a long time, since i have to left my English school but i never stop teaching 😉i never know that you are from Poland, because i move to Poland and rn trying to teach polish language, but still I'm watching you because I don't won't forget English,so your work is great, you are doing a great thing
P.s sorry for grammar 🙄
FANTASTIC, Alex! I use almost all of the ways you mentioned. They really work! Currently I'm working on the understanding of TV series and movies. That's a big challenge, a lot of figurative language, idioms, slang and so on. So I get a very small part of an episode or a movie and study carefully just that small part. By the way, engVid has been a great source of knowledge for me since the very beginning of my English learning journey. Thank you all for your amazing job!
Have a good one!
This makes me so happy! Thanks for this comment, Marco. Best of luck as you continue on your English learning journey.
Mr. Alex, thank you very much for your invaluable tips and recommendations. You have probably answered to my question but If you don't mind, I would like to ask you again the following question: How to learn to speak English in an environment where English is not spoken at all in public? English is always taught in class. All basic competencies: reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary and listening are always taught in class but when you go out English is no more and you are stuck. There's no one and nowhere to practice it because there are not native English speakers. Speaking it in public causes embarrassment and discomfort because most of the people around you are not English speakers. What to do about it? Why you can speak English in class but when you go out on the street, you are stuck and dumb? I hope you understand me.
singing some song when you're alone or repeat after any video you watch ,this is so helpful
thank you alex
100%. And it immerses you in the language you are studying.
I finally subscribed your channel today😊. I love your videos sir.....👍......❤️
Thanks and welcome!
That’s wonderful tips….I’ve been trying learn by myself . I practice every day watching videos, vocabulary, grammar, expressions, pronunciation and shadowing, and speaking 3 or 4 times a week with natives English. It’s works well. Thanks Alex
how u could speak with a native speaker? can u help me I'll be thankful
You have a good way to talk with other, How can I get that.
I always write on my diary, resume meeting, and my hp setting in english
UA-cam has many good videos of whatever you want to learn , it’s a useful tool for learning ,we need to take advantage of it and this Chanel is a great tool to learn English thanks teacher Alex
Absolutely. There has never been a better time to learn another language just due to the resources that are available.
I remember when the first time I practice my english with a Canadian. Haha. I feel so uneasy. I am afraid to make some mistakes. But she get my accent. Thanks Alex for all of your videos. It was great videos. Keep vloging!
Thanks for checking it out! I have no intention of stopping. 🙂
Thanks for interesting tips! Best wishes from 🇺🇦
And thank you
Hi Alex I love ❤️ your videos. Your English is Simple to understand. love from Pakistan
