    Reading books in english when you already have a good level is amazing to learn new vocabulary too❤

    Now I'm intensively learning English by immersion. My first language is Armenian, second is Russian, and the third is English ( forth is becoming Spanish 😂). After many tries with traditional learning technics, I've decided to learn by immersion ( like I've learned Russian passively), and use traditional methods just as additional tools to accelerate my learning process.
    For example, I just created new youtube account with only English/Spanish content ( I don't use my Russian-Armenian channel anymore ), I read books, listen podcasts, use flash cards, watch movies, etc... In the very start time it will be hard, but with each practice it will become easier and easier. Even this text... Its not grammatically correct, I haven't rich vocabulary yet, but compared with my English level 3 month ago, its huge improvement, I can't explain you how huge is my progress ))
    I even started to learn Spanish as an another way to use English 😂 Also my Spanish level motivates me sometimes, because compared to Spanish I'm god on English 😂
    Lifehack: Are you struggling with your third language ? Start learning forth one 🤟
    Motivation is a temporary and not stable thing. On other hand with consistency, patience and sometimes with little bit willpower you will succeed.

    I started to really learn english when I was 27 yo, after I have finished my law degrees and becamed a lawyer in brazil. I have allways had contact with english through music and videogames, but just started to really learn it when I decided to study it in daily basis, by my self, using internet. Now I am 32 yo and I have watched a lot of movies and series to keep in contact with the language, I am reading some books too.

    here is my ways to improving English, which I use every day:
    - reading posts and writing comments in english on Reddit
    - learning new words on Words Up app
    - reading books in English (outloud when it possible) in 2Books app
    - watching a lot of videos of english speaking bloggers on UA-cam and shadowing (repeating after them outloud)
    - learning grammar with Essential Grammar in Use by R. Murphy
    my next step will be taking the course for teaching English as a second language (TESOL)
    would you mind me asking did you take any courses or not? do you have a teacher degree?

    My story in a spanish spoken country:
    I studied in public elementary and high school; therefore, I was not billingual when I was 17.
    Although I got some general grammar basics.
    From 21 to 23, I enrolled at an English Conversational program every Saturday in an institute, I loved it. Then, I went to college but didn't practice that English.
    At 30 I joined again other institute, but I quit because I got bored studying again the same grammar. At age 31 I entered another institute some months and the major told me if I wanted to teach, I accepted but only for 8 months just on Satuday mornings. Some years later, at age 37, as a professional, I decided to go to college and to enrolle in English Teaching Major (this was the only way to become really billingual) and graduated this year. It was a long journey in my case, but I am satisfied now that I know I'm B2+. Best.

    Good video. I think the most important tip is simply to talk, even if just to yourself in imagined conversations. Because literally everyone understands English, but once they need to talk most people just aren't comfortable cause they aren't used to it. So practice, cause practice makes perfect.

    I think this video is soo interesting for those who meet many obstacles to learn any language ..from my own point of view anyone can learn english easily especially the rules are so easy to memorise it . but the only problem that most ppl find difficulties when they speaking it in front of others sometimes we made mistakes and ofcrs there are soo many rude people that can make fun of your mistake that's one of the reasons that can make anyone feels bad bcz i know that feeling so in my opinion the perfect way to develop our skills and at the same time to be fluent in any language is to speak to native speakers and also we can easily watch videos with subtitles for ex in english ..etc .....and thank uuu for giving me or us many ideas how we can learn any language ❤

Finally the most important thing is learning over and over because I don't want to quit. 😅

    Nice video!!! My experience is similar to yours cause I'm an English teacher. I started learning after High School till I reached B2 level in a Hispanic country then I took The FCE and started teaching then I got certified for teaching through the British council and got the ICELT certificate, then I made a big move and moved to the states, pun not intended, after moving to the states I was shock to find out that advanced classes were not that advanced so I decided to take pronunciation classes in a college and after that I decided to take a High School test in English to improve my Language and have it validated through a valid Diploma now I'm taking lessons through the British council app cause I took their score test app and placed me in C1 so I want to get it certified.

    I'm starting practice with some podcast, the topics that i like it are more easy to understand.
    Then i practice with the vocabulary i've learned.

    Well karina most of us, learn english as 3rd or 4th language. But all we need to do, practice.
    But for that we need persons who help us in corrections
