    As someone learning French, I encounter difficulties, but your advice is motivating. I recently learned about Immersive Translate and intend to give it a try to improve my progress.

    Hi, I just want to say that I've been passing through a similar situation in my English language journey, last year I switch all my contents in English because there's a lot of things that I wanted to learn that I couldn't find in my native language at least in a comprehensivel way on the beginning I barely could understand but after four months in January of this year I've realized that even though I couldn't catch 100% of the words I could understand them. Like I was on the stage where I could understand but I couldn't speak, for solving this I just started speaking with me in English and know I think I've reached a good level. My native language is portuguese Love from Angola🇦🇴
    Now I'm trying to do the same thing for japanese and hopes this miracle happens again :⁠-⁠)

    Awesome video! As a Brasilian also on IT, speaking english on a daily basis, I can relate. I'm now learning French and I can understand a lot, considering how much I studied, but I'm far from being able to express myslef in that language. Something that really helps me a lot on aquiring vocab improve listening are some of these online radio apps. You can choose a radio from a country that speaks the language you are learning and have a good taste of common conversations and immerse youself into the culture.

    Learning English in a class room in Germany wasn't able to cut it for me either, even though we had, at least for some time along the way, one of the best possible teachers. What they did was basically creating this environment, where we were forced, at least to some degree, to converse in English before we could say in German what we really wanted to say in case the conversation wasn't going anywhere. And I never forgot what they mentioned at some point: in order for you to being able to speak a language you have to be able to think in that very same language. Whenever you find yourselves translating in your head, this tells you you're not ready yet.
    I started consuming content in English at a very young age as I was super interesting in everything concerning IT, be it the hardware, software, video games... I played a lot online very soon and met English native speakers with whom I conversed and as we were playing together as a team, this created the necessity for being well understood in order to work effectively as a team. Then I also started to watch my favorite series all in English and soon I wouldn't even watch series, movies or playing games in German anymore. English got the standard for basically everything. Yet sometimes, even nowadays, I find myself in one or the other situation, when conversing with others in English, that I'm lacking a word or the other, but this mainly comes from me really trying to get diverse, using words one doesn't hear all too often.
    So basically what I've learned was, exposure to the language being spoken is the first crucial step. Second you have to really try and imitate what you hear as much as possible. I would always try and mimic the exact pronunciation of my favorite speakers in media for example. And then at some point you really have to create situations where your only possibility of being understood, is to actively use the language in conversation. Ideally with a native speaker. And yes, motivate them to correct you. Don't let anything slip. The more often you use something incorrectly the more your brain feels like this is the natural way to go.

    Reading helps a whole heap. I reat The Hobbit in Spanish, then Harry Potter 1 and my spanish improved noticably in comfort and fluidity. Since then I've read "the curious case of benjamin button, LOTR 1 and 2 and am now on the 3rd book as well as 007 Casino Royale. I was speaking to my inlaws from Guatemala and they actually said I speak perfect spanish. Not that that is true just yet but I'm probably around a c1 in cefr. I see books as the cement for the pebbles of vocabulary and grammar.
    Thanks for the recommendation of HelloTalk. I'd like to learn Italian, German and French and then I think I'd be done with my language journey.
    Cheers!

      Because your problem is “the connect speech” native speakers usually say things together, non native speakers do thinks slowly, because we unconsciously think we need to be understood, then most of us speak slowly.
