    Quick note: I uploaded this video with the idea of calling it 'How to Learn effectively '. At the very end, I decided to add 'a language ' just for SEO purposes. Thanks to everybody for letting me know about word order, which I know of. We're all humans and a little word order change won't make the content of the video inefficient. Please be kind because language learning is oftentimes hindered when people are so judgemental of any tiny detail. This video is meant to inspire and help, not to spread hate.

    Long road ahead of you as a teacher/ tutor or instructor. It starts with: your learners will not stop doing these things until they reach comfortable B2+ or some even C1 level. Some of them will never get there, so some of these things will stay for the lifetime for them while speaking a foreign language. The teacher's job and why AI will not take over this effectively any time soon ( crash tested during pandemic/ with not most promising results I have to admit) is to asist people and move them forward along the way despite all these things being constant and repetitive struggles on their long road to fluency. All this starts from: who is your learner? What is the dominant L1 they speak. And reading on what most common mistakes this lingustic group makes through years in terms of phonetics, grammar and vocabulary, even idioms while learning the L2 you teach and which is the target language of your learner. And to maybe encourage you to work on your teaching skills, latest , to me not so optimistic stats on how many people continue on a foreign learning journey without the assistance of a human teacher. We may like it or not and discuss issues such as "lack of prospective future human teachers" but it doesn't change the fact that this number stands at 4%. Without a good teacher, at lower levels of flunecy, so everything below a solid B2+ only 4% of learners will continue on their solo AI-aided journey to B2 fluency and above. While over 60% of them will do so with the aid of the bilingual teacher who speaks their L1 and L2 fluently, as a native speaker long enought to at least reach a decent B2 level, at least for specific purposes ( specific job/ educational context/ specific business context). And chances of this increase if the teahcer gets at least 1 year or preferably at least 2 years, so 4 semesters on teaching how to teach this L2. Then chances of success of his learner increase by at least 40%. And this is the reality. And why complete or false beginners don't do well with very fresh teachers of L2? Since they are asked "stop doing what you are doing" having an intense gut feeling that it's well beyond their capacity to obey such a request.

      'your learners will not stop doing these things until they reach comfortable B2+ or some even C1 level' I'm so aware of this. I see this on a daily basis, and I know that students need reassurance, very frequently they simply lack confidence, motivation, and so on. Thank you for the very long comment, and also I think it is important to highlight the purpose of this video: a reminder. A reminder for self learners, a reminder for those who study with tutors, a reminder for those who are doing great, a reminder for those who are giving up or lacking consistency no teaching system will be fixed nor will I defy AI and the new methods for teaching, but sometimes sharing an experience can give insights that students can't actually perceive, from their position. thanks for all the data, I'll be curious to look into it in more detail 😁

    Mistake 1 should be: incorrect grammar in titles about language learning. If you cannot get the title right, then it raises doubt about anything else being right....in this case... Learning a language effectively... Instead of... Learning effectively a language. Yes I know that English is SVO but we have these oddities. For example we can have "the mechanic called and said he is finished, I'm going to pick up the car". But we can also say "I'm going to pick the car up" and the object being the car is placed in the middle of this phrasal verb. But we never say "pick up it" as it is always "pick it up". In the title case, " a language" must be in the middle of "learning effectively"... Under normal chatting the native speaker will immediately see the error but say nothing because they understand what you meant. But when it comes to language advice given in English by a non native English speaker, this is not acceptable... Also when talking about sounding native in English it would be paramount to be able to say the TH sound in both its forms and not replace it with a D sound. For example, there is no TH in Portuguese and Brazilians who learn English struggle so replace it with D and soft T. Again, native English speakers hear the error and say nothing because they know what is meant, but in a video in English which talks about language skills, this Must be nailed as a simple proof that what is said in the video works.

      Hi! thank you for your feedback - I'm well aware that the title order may sound odd, just tbh during the 'exportation process' I added effectively at the end -> for YT there are some keywords and terms I try using for the SEO. Thank you for the detailed comment and all the knowledge you included in it, but there's no need to be so negative about it.

      This complaint is a classic example of prescriptive vs. descriptive language learning.
      Probably, you aren't the target audience. . .
      I think the ideas here were expressed well and understandably, which is more important to descriptivists than getting all the details perfect.
      Because language is about communication, first.
      If I spoke a second language as well as the English here, I would consider myself successful.
      Effective communication with your target audience is of greater value than passing some C1-2 exam outside of academia. . . Or maybe trolling ESL folks on UA-cam.

      How about this language communication tip, mistergames: you're a pedantic asshole. It's great when someone smart and attentive (like you) gives helpful feedback, but not so great when the tone (like you) is bitchy schoolboy smartass.

    It is very clear that you do not understand english very well. Firstly the grammar in your title is way off. Also, "I love you" in english can mean a variety of things, and although it may not have a 1-1 equivalent with that exact italian phrase, it is obvious you do not understand the nuances of this language.

      @@aliqui756 title - already explained seo purpose under another comment. 'Love you' may have a variety of meanings, but I'm well aware also of 'ti voglio bene', I use it on a daily basis and I promise there is no equivalent in different languages, such as Polish or English. Please don't hate under a video for no real reason. I'm afraid it is because of this mentality that a lot of people struggle with language learning and fear speaking a foreign language. I always thank people for feedback, but I do understand your nuance and tone: it is full of unnecessary judgement. Anyway, thank you.

    "Learning Effectively a Language" Just a note that this should be "Learning a Language Effectively." Word order is important in English, and even though the meaning is understood, it sounds quite strange.
