      Eu amo o sotaque dela, eu consigo imitar apenas um pouco porque o meu sotaque brasileiro ainda prevalece, temos um abto difícil de combater que é fortalecer o som de ee no final de algumas palavras como internetee (internet) Facebook-ee (Facebook) etc.

    I do the same thing for my three top languages, English, Hebrew and French.
    Not so much conversations, but all kinds of collocations: built in obsolescence, a landslide victory, a world of difference, etc,
    Whenever I use or come across a phrase or expression in any one of these language, I check that I know how to say it in the others, if not I look it up. That way they are on the tip of my tongue when I need them.
    I have other slow language goals, non priority for now, which I'm learning just with the goal of listening comprehension. Very low key and just for fun.

    • @innainenglish
      @innainenglish  Місяць тому +2

      For a million reasons. An Indian and a French person get married and the Indian decided to learn French although they can both speak English, because the Indian is moving to France. A Ukrainian moves to Spain because her brother already lives there and although she learned English and German at school (both pbligatory), she now has to learn Spanish because she feels insecure with just English. Etc etc. A Lithuanian learned French at school, but when he went to university, he had to choose between English, German, and Chinese. He would happily continue learning French, but that's not an option if he wants to study at this university. An ethnical Basque grew up in Madrid, speaking Spanish only, but when they became older, they realised that they wanted to connect with their culture and decided to learn Basque from scratch. Do you get my point?

    You live in German and can listen native speakers every day. Where can i here perfect German pronunciation outside? It' important to live in country of language which you learn.
    My sister made a progress in Germany up to B2 just for 2 years living in Germany after 2022.
    P.S a lot of Russian women who married English or American men bacame already like native speakers in comparison with teachers in Russia who have never been in the USA and England. i think that all people who want to teach other language have to live a definite time in the country of language

    • @innainenglish
      @innainenglish  Місяць тому +2

      I see where you're coming from, but I also know quite a lot of people who've been living in Germany or Spain for decades, work with locals and live active social lives, but speak the local language at B2 or C1. So, I'm not saying living in the country doesn't help at all, of course it does! But it's not a magic bullet. For example, I don't actually hear German every day. My husband does - he works in German. On the contrary, I work from home and in English, so the most German I'm exposed to is the hello and goodbye and thank you at the supermarket. That's definitely not enough. So, I have to attend courses, watch videos on UA-cam, do conversation lessons on italki, and maybe look for friends who're willing to talk to someone whose German is not perfect. So far, none have been found: we speak English because it's just easier for both of us; it'd be weird to speak German and not be able to express everything we want and understand each other fully when we can both speak English fluently. And on the other hand, I did learn all of my English without ever living in the UK, or Australia, etc. So, what I'm saying is that it's not that straightforward.

    • @innainenglish

      @@blackjohnny0 it isn't. The psycholinguistic definition of the term 'native language' is the language(s) learned in the childhood (approx until the age of 8-10) in the family and community. Many linguists now prefer the term 'first language'. When I was growing up, nobody spoke Belarusian around me, so I only started learning it at school. However, even before school, I saw ads in Belarusian, and we had a few books at home, and my grandpa used to speak it as a kid... So I knew it was somehow related to my cultural heritage. And the country is called Belarus after all. So, when I started learning it at school, it wasn't a foreign language either. That's why I say it's my second language and something in between a native and a foreign language.
