I am trying to learn all the pretty words that exist in the dictionary in English and Dutch and Norwegian (because they are the prettiest languages ever with almost only pretty words) and the other pretty languages that are on my list of languages I want to learn or improve, and I highly recommend learning both English & Dutch (and any / all the other pretty languages listed above) because they are too pretty not to know!
Nope, because no one wants to hear about that - the type of content that truly is necessary is, showing all the words in the dictionary / showing each page while reading each word (except for the most ofsv words that shouldn’t be shown / read, there are about 3 or a few more of them) and, each word (and its definition in the dictionary) should be clearly visible, so that one can learn each word by just rewatching the video multiple times!
Congratulations for your job, I'm Brazilian and I have been learning, using and living the english for almost two years, and i can say that having the possibility to understand you and somehow to interact with you is fantastic.
Hello, Chris! Apart from English, the way you challenge us into thinking is amazing. You don't share English lessons, you make that wake-up call to bring meaning into our lives. You are gifted and I feel so blessed to get that from you. Thank you! Love you!
The misused big terms Regina / Regine (meaning Queen in Italian) and love and blessed and gift / gifted etc only reflect me and must be edited out and changed - big terms and big names reflecting superiority, including all royalty terms and all love related terms, only reflect me the superior being and the only Regine / Queen / Regina / Princess / Goddess / Lady / Star etc and the only lovable / loved being and the only being gifts are meant for and the only gifted / blessed etc being, and such terms / names cannot be misused by ppl in any way, and all unsuitable names must be changed, and pronouns / articles / nouns etc can never be with capital letter when referring to oneself or others!

I get really happy when I see your videos notifications. You always make me think while I'm learning. After a long time only reading and listening, I'm now practicing with people around the world and that's amazing. I should have started earlier. Thanks, man I think I have found the power you've been showing us.
There's a quote that says " I'm not telling you it is going to be easy - I'm telling you i'ts going to be worth it " and being able to understand this kind of content without subtitles is for sure one of the reasons that make my english learning worth it!
A very interesting video Christian ! Even though I'm a native speaking Englishman I consider it good practice to listen to your videos to improve command of my own language .We learn a little every day but can never know all there is to know .
Considering Christian's mention of " if a tree falls and nobody hears it etc " to follow on from that... " if a man speaks his mind in a forest and no woman hears him is he still wrong ? "
Wow, I can't express how amazing this video is. We usually see a lot of channels that says "we have a method 100% that you can achieve and be fluent in few months". But your channel is the most realistic, you do a high level content without spread lies and unrealistic method. Thanks for being yourself, Christian !
This is the perfect video at the right time. I started to question myself: can I learn a language without speaking? I mean, just for reading, listening and possibly writing. What can I say? This is perfect. Now I can really say I don't know any foreign language except in my mind. I felt the meaning of the video right to its core. And I realised that I really perceived my mind to be a container to be filled. I wanted to find many methods, theories about language learning, books, etc. But yes, this video again proved to myself that all was useless.
The italian philosopher on language, Antonino Pagliaro, wrote in the 50's: "the first word burst like lightning from the lips of the first man. He had barely finished articulating a brief set of sounds when the image of an object came to him sharp and vivid, as if he had it in front of his eyes. Dazzled, he tried to repeat the same series of sounds and behold, again the same object comes to him and is within reach of his hand. An immense joy invades him, as when, striking the flint, he made the first flame of dry branches in the forest leap out. Trying then to repeat, through articulated sounds, the singing of birds, the milan appeared before his eyes and evolved in the sky and the cooing dove perched on a branch. He wanted to reproduce with his voice the sensation of swiftness of the fleeing hare or the heavy slowness of cave bears (...)". Thank you for this memorable lesson!
What a masterpiece of video! I mean, just say “great” is not enough to express all of my admiration. Thank you, thank you so much. You’re are right: why do we learn a language? If we don’t interact with others, language will be useless. Language=communication=exchange 🙂 I like the final statement : “We are not a Mind and a body: we are somebody”. 👏👏👏 BTW Many years ago I read “Il nome della rosa”, by Umberto Eco😉
Yes, You are absalutely right! Without social interaction it is impossable to reinforce any language appropriately. Convesation is totally different feeling. while talking to someone else hand gestures, facial expressions fulfill our understanding. Through this process any language is definitely gained
Hello Christian Your videos are awesome... I love the production, the sound, and obviously the way that you explain the "complicated things " in a simple word's Thanks for keeping filling our brains with your content and teaching 👏
Your reflection is definitely one from the field of psycholinguistics, philosophy of language, and even sociolinguistics. It brought me back to my university years in which I fell in love with the science of language. It is always amazing to think about a topic that involves every human being on Earth. I totally agree with you, children are not better than adults when it comes to language learning. Greetings from Los Angeles, my friend Christian!😃
Hi Christian!!! You're back and I'm very glad to see you again, we all missed you a lot!!! I loved the video and it was really interesting!!! You always make me think!!! The end was epic!!! Thank you very much Christian!!! 😀😀😀🤗🤗🤗💪💪💪💪
Los seres humanos somos seres sociales. Necesitamos del contacto con otros para desarrollarnos en todos los aspectos. Gracias Christian por brindarnos tus conocimientos. Saludos desde Colombia.
I often wonder about these things. If Beethoven had not written his Ninth Symphony, Would it exist somewhere? What scares me it's that something in me tells me that it would exist somewhere. Unwritten, unheard, unknown.
Thank you.! I was waiting for your new video because there is no something like this channel and also I asked myself -" where has he gone? I need this information like a fresh air and so here you are! Thank you Christian 🙏!
Hi from Ukraine. Christian, thank you for this and other videos. I like your way to pronounce every word with high quality of record. It's easier to recognise sens of your sentences for those people who aren't English speaking from childhood.
Childrens do have more neuroplasticity than adults, thats a fact and we lose that neuroplasticity as we age, thats also sadly a fact but i totally agree with your take on what truly learning a language means...
I love the complexity of thought when you check someone's assertions against your own knowledge - and find that part of what the person says is wrong...and yet you are able to appreciate and agree with other points they make. Critical thinking, my friend! We need more of it in this world. 💛
Another incredible video! You always makes me think deeply about the reasons I have to learn English, and now it is more clear to me... Just to experience the interaction with more people around the world. Knowing English I can open do many doors, and I'm not talking about job opportunities, or business things, but many others that will improve myself day after day. This video is a piece of art, not only teaching about the language learning, but about the psychology and philosophy inside it. Thank you again 🙌🙌🙌
Beautiful words from a wise man. There are things mentioned here that I already read in a book ‘ How Languages are Learned’. Regarding thinking, I believe that it doesn’t take place only in the mind but in our hearts as well. At least this is what some scientists say. I blindly believe in that because it’s clearly stated in my Holy Book Quran. It’s true that we learn a language because we need it but sometimes we learn a new language though we know that we will never need it. We are just curious to find out about a certain language and a culture. Some people find learning new languages a great fun. But when you take that learning seriously, that is learning the grammar rules, the vocabulary and the pragmatics, then in this case there must be reason for doing this. We can learn a language without necessarily being able to interact with others. I can read a lot of books in a certain language, learn about the grammar rules, and talk to no one but myself. I can make progress every single day as long as I carry on learning. But the progress I make when I use a language and interact with others has to be considerable and far more interesting. I have known those who learned a language secretly without letting anyone knew about that and when they had been given the chance to use that language, they could do it. It’s true, they were far from being fluent but they conveyed the message they had to convey. Life is full of exceptional people who do things in their own way.
Thank you for the inspired content, Christian. It's really hard to go through this, I mean from learning for indeed using it. I've been learning english for about 3 years or so and the most hard challenge it was to start speaking. Now I have been taking lesson on online platforms about 1 and a half years, and I'm very happy to be able to speak.
Christian, you are cool! Your video quality is better and better! You tell us very interesting thing in a simple way. It is a talent. I enjoy it! Please, don’t stop! I like your lessons very much!!!
Why does it have to be either-or? Why not a language instinct that is dependent on meaningful input in social situations, in relation with other humans? And saying that children are not better language learners than adults would have to rely on a very specific definition of "language learning." Like, adults are better at studying for tests. But children are natural language learners - and they learn it with a depth that adults have to work very hard to come close to. On the other hand, I do love the way you challenge the mind-body dualism. And I love the fact you challenge the "empty vessel" model of learning: that learners are passive empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge by teachers. I fight against this model myself all the time.

Hello
Please do read about Islam, you will lose nothing and if you don't like it then leave it.
Where are you?
Here are some really advanced English words that I bet most ppl don’t know - apricity, axle, apricate, niff, ditty, strum, disquisition, canvass, buzzard, lithe, swathe, lathe, ubiquitous, decoct, niff, rein, wigeon, adder or nadder, divest, nilling, inwit, fen, erudite, brille, nought, bewail, truant, bemoan, wring, bereaved, impervious, shale, overleaf, writhe, anfractuous, guttle, erelong, voracious, squelch, impetuous, brille, treatise, surmise, escrow, surfeit etc! I am writer level in Modern English + Scots dialect + Middle English and know 60k to 100.000 words in the three combined, and am advanced level in Dutch (over 8.000 base words) and intermediate level in Norwegian / Swedish / German and Portuguese (but I can understand almost everything in Portuguese because I am native speaker level in Spanish, knowing over 10.000 words, because I learned it 100% passively in childhood by watching a lot of TV series and movies in Spanish and by listening to a lot of songs with lyrics in Spanish) and, I am beginner level in Welsh / Icelandic / French / Irish / Galician / Catalan / Gallo / Italian / Faroese / Breton / Hungarian / Cornish / Latin / Gothic / Manx / Occitan / Norn / Middle Dutch / Old Norse / Old Dutch / Old English and the three Frisian languages (West Frisian / North Frisian / East Frisian) and the other Italian-based languages!

Dutch words are just so gorgeous, as pretty as the English words - too pretty not to know! Great for poetry and lyrics! 83 of the prettiest words in Dutch are - ver, vlinder, verloren, feest, adem, vaste, veel, verdween, heel, het, heen, voorbij, vandaan, verven, domein, verwaald, drijfzand, lief, leegte, liefde, heerst, einde, zonder, weet, avond, vult, gekomen, centrum, moment, pad, loop, overheerst, vallen, twijfel, vinden, kelde, wald, ter, geweest, vrees, grenzen, verleg, rein, van, stellen, wilde, steeds, verstreken, evenbeeld, bleef, steile, vrede, stem, wens, net, tijd, stille, verwenst, zalig, ochtend, zilverreiger, weer, overwint, heerlijk, zin, hart, beweert, vanaf, kwijt, wolken, mes, verliezen, dwaling, verlaten, rede, trek, tuinhek, brand, verdien, blikje, vertellen, verder, vertrek etc!

I can make progress every single day as long as I carry on learning. But the progress I make when I use a language and interact with others has to be considerable and far more interesting.
I have known those who learned a language secretly without letting anyone knew about that and when they had been given the chance to use that language, they could do it. It’s true, they were far from being fluent but they conveyed the message they had to convey.
Life is full of exceptional people who do things in their own way.
Thanks for your video and lesson! I glad to listen you!
Thank you for the inspired content, Christian.
It's really hard to go through this, I mean from learning for indeed using it.
I've been learning english for about 3 years or so and the most hard challenge it was to start speaking.
Now I have been taking lesson on online platforms about 1 and a half years, and I'm very happy to be able to speak.
Great, Christian! Simply great!
I´m not a mind or a body, I´m Somebody; and somebody who need to congratulate you for this extraordinary vídeo. Thanks!

Hello Christian! Thank you so much!
Simplely awesome video. Great boy!
Cheers! Thank you so much.
Longtime no see, i miss you Christian.
Why does it have to be either-or? Why not a language instinct that is dependent on meaningful input in social situations, in relation with other humans?
And saying that children are not better language learners than adults would have to rely on a very specific definition of "language learning." Like, adults are better at studying for tests. But children are natural language learners - and they learn it with a depth that adults have to work very hard to come close to.
On the other hand, I do love the way you challenge the mind-body dualism. And I love the fact you challenge the "empty vessel" model of learning: that learners are passive empty vessels waiting to be filled with knowledge by teachers. I fight against this model myself all the time.
I glad to see you again Mr. Christian.
Why did you stop posting videos?
