Create your LANGUAGE LEARNING PLAN - learn a language on your own efficiently

- From my experience as a teacher of English and a learner of English, German, and Spanish, I can say that learning languages on your own IS possible. However, you need some basic knowledge about how languages can be learn most efficiently. What I'm sharing in this video is expert knowledge that I learned while doing my Bachelor's in Linguistics and Foreign Language Teaching and that I checked later as a language learner.
The videos I mentioned:
My video about improving pronunciation: • My best 3 pronunciatio...
An interview with @Pronunciationwithemma : • Interview with Emma - ...
The narrow listening technique: reelC2R2vV...
My own vlogs that you can watch and improve your English: • Best Vlog - It Teaches...
Oh and one more thing. My favourite English textbook so far is SpeakOut. It's the most balanced textbook I've seen (although there's still too little pronunciation there). It comes with a lot of supplementary materials as well and there's a lot of revision. This is not a paid promotion. I honestly think this is the best textbook I've worked with so far.
I will start offering pronunication, vocabulary and grammar courses, all with a speaking club, as well as General English group lessons around May 2024, so stay tuned! If you're afraid to miss them, follow me on Instagram: inna.in.eng...

I'm really glad that I finally found a video where the teacher explains how to organize a learning plan in a clear way and don't try to sell us any apps. Thanks a lot!
My pleasure!
Thank you, Inna!
Thank you, Anna ! Good advice for me
thank you for your tips)
Amazing video. I really loved ❤
Your voice and English is just music to my ears! Thanks a lot for your helpful tips and advice
Thank you for watching my videos!
Really fantastic! Worth watching
Great
Thanks for your video. I understand all context and meaning. And I very like that!
Thanks a lot. I am so glad to come across your video. What you explain is so precious
Thanks you I'm very glad you teaching in English
Thank you Bonnie Lass
You are great teacher.Nice explanation 👍
Interesting English teaching experience
It's so clear! I understand every single word😊
thank you for the video. I like watching vlogs too! videos based on comprehensive input method are also very useful. you can start watching them even from A1.
Another advantage of recording your own voice. The ear gets used to the different sound of a foreign language. As for reading books, books in PDF are very convenient, as there is a function for both translation and reading.
Very clear
I like your point revision and repetition
I love you❤ because you have a amazing teaching skill!!!
thanks Inna. you've walktrought us to learning a new language.
Thank you miss
It's very useful information for me ❤❤❤
What a great explanation! You are amazing!
Very well done video, clear and touch all important points on this matter, thank-you 🎉😊
Waoo.your pronounsiation very clear and make sense..I wish you well happy and live in peace
thank you so much indeed and you really explain very good💐💐💐💐💐
Your voice and teaching skills very beautiful
I like your way to teach everyone by your video.. I hope I can make a conversation with you teacher. My English is beginner
Great video!
Good explanation
teacher. I want to improve my pronunciation. Keep up the good work
Thanks for making this video though I was in new in your channel and I am looking for what's your upcoming videos..
In my experience, B2 level is quite sufficient for watching most movies and series; however, reading books is a way to widen vocabulary at this level
I really like your pronoueciation, so sweet.
Good.
well done
Well done! Inna, your pronunciation is very clear. Big thanks to Emma)
Do you mean for the interview?
Thank you 🙏 your videos are very useful
My pleasure!
Days and words suggested quite a good promt for using chatgpt for studying:
Hi,
I'd like you to now be my English Tutor. Your goal is to help me practice my English, improve my vocabulary, correct my grammar mistakes and give me suggestions on how my ideas can be expressed in a more natural way. You will follow the following process:
1. Your first response will be to give me an easy prompt to respond to. Please wait for me to provide my answer.
2. Based on my input, you will then generate 4 sections:
a) Corrected Response. (Please correct everything, even small grammatical errors or article agreements.)
b) Explanations of every correction
c) Suggestions (give me ways I could improve my answer to sound more natural and fluent. If appropriate, introduce me to new vocabulary or phrases which I could use to enrich my responses or express my ideas more naturally or concisely. If there was a part of my writing that seemed especially fluent or natural, please highlight that to me. With your suggestions, if appropriate, please give me example sentences in Spanish to illustrate what your suggestions could look like if implemented.
d) Follow-up (Write a couple sentences in response to mine. Then give me a new follow-up question related to my answers and your previous questions.)
3. We will continue this iterative process with me giving you more written responses and you correcting my English and giving me feedback.
4. When I say “Done.”, I want you then to give me a summary of:
a) The errors I made during our practice session (list the instances as bullet points)
b) A bullet point summary of all new vocabulary, structures or phrases that you introduced me to
c) a quick summary of how it seems that my English skills are improving.
Thank you for the video. You look grand btw
Oh thank you!
Eso suena muy bien👍
Estoy contenta :)
So true! Not practicing your English pronunciation is an excuse! There are so many great UA-cam channels, podcasts, and online apps that can help. What is everyone's favorite solution? Let's share ⤵⤵⤵
I'm using the ELSA speak app, an online course on Udemy, and doing a lot of listening on the topics I'm interested in.
Great video!!
One of the things I did to “trick” the algorithm for YT was to create language-specific accounts for it and ONLY access videos in your target language. I’ve done this for Swedish (my current TL) and a couple others, and it’s very useful to get YT to suggest TL video content.
Another thing I’ve done has been to watch the news once I hit an A2 level in the language. I’ll first watch the national news in English from one of the major networks, then access a similar “network” in my TL (such as Univision for Spanish). Since I’ll have seen/heard the major stories in English, I know what’s going on. I can then take notes if needed for my TL. I’m not at that level yet in Swedish, but hope to be in about 6-8 months.
Finally…I never would have guessed English wasn’t your native language until I saw the video of you speaking the 5 languages you know. In this particular video, there was only one spot that I heard where it didn’t sound like a native accent to me (I’m American but am used to British accents generally), and that was only because I was “listening for it.”
And, as the other commenter wrote, "revision" isn't a word we'd use in American English to mean "review."
Thank you for your comment! Generally, I wouldn't recommend watching the news until you're at around B2, because the vocabulary tends to be really complicated, with all the terms and often complex grammar. However, I don't believe in absolute must-do's and no-no's in language learning. So, if it workd for you, why not? For those who live in Europe, Euronews could be a great way to do what you're describing. They've got news in many different languages and I generally think it's a great idea to watch the same pieces in your native language and the one you're learning.
Heard about 'revision' :) Well, that's the word we use in ESL in Europe.
Its true that vlogs are useful to learn new vocabulary more easily, in my case I play those videos daily to practice the language. BUT the movies and series helped me a lot to improve listening in different accents, although I still struggle understanding what they say sometimes.
It's great! I agree, it's a great way to improve your understanding of different accents. If watching series while understanding less than you'd like to doesn't make you anxious, of course go for it!
❤❤
More notable your opinion. ❤ I'm pleasure cause you were sharing good data for ielts pupils. ❤❤By the way, I am mamun . I am from Bangladesh.
Thank you Mamun!
I love your accent! Is there any chance to get pronunciation lessons with you via zoom or something? I'll appreciate it so much ❤
Thank you! Not 1-on-1 lessons, but I'll be offering a pronunciation course with sounds, rhythm, intonation, connected speech + speaking practice and an emphasis on fluency around May-June 2024. I'll announce it here and on Instagram @inna.in.english
목소리가 너무 듣기 좋아요~^^
I agree with you, I don't like series or movies for learning languages, I prefer UA-cam.
Ура-а-а, Инна вернулась!!!😊😊😊
Привет!
Thank you! It is really useful! Can I hear your opinion about Roadmap and Destination for upper-int learners? I decided to take them for self-study. I would be really grateful to you!
I've never used them if I'm being honest, sorry! Just try and be critical: are there enough exercises on each grammar and vocabulary topic? Are there pronunciation activities? Is there enough revision? How natural does the speech in the recordings sound? etc
❤
i learn english on my own and I like it my purpose is not to have a high level I learn simple English because it's sufficient and I read the bible with simple word and it's helpful for me it helps me to be glad because I notice there is different levels to speak and read English language .I speak Spanish too but for me it's difficult to share a conversation with someone here in France rarely you meet English and Spanish people you know . French people are lazy to learn another language I notice that I'm not crtiquize people is what I see around me. I read a lot of Spanish book English is more difficult to find easy to read . you speak English very well I understood all your speech you pronunce English good . I'm Richard coming from LYON in france .I hope you give me an answer to train my brain to talk and write English. it's so exited to share something you love thank you teacher RICHARD ALVENTOZA
I'm glad you like the video Richard! I hope speaking both English and Spanish will get easier for you with time!
This video cleared me , how should I practice to learn it effectively.I have been learning English since 2019, However, I m not satisfied with my improvment yet. The mistake I was doing was listening many series or watching different kind series always which are hard to understand, moreover, I was thinking the more you know the better you get in , to be honest it was wrong, now I learn less and revise more what I have learned. Because of you I'm gonna watch what is easy to understand.Thanks for the video.
Sounds like you're already doing a lot in order to keep improving! Way to go!
wow, you are the best English teacher i found on UA-cam in 2024
Thank you!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Megusta ❤🎉
Thank you for this most interesting video. I'm an English learner and I'm often wondering why "thinking" in a second language is not usually considered as a productive skill just like speaking and writing. You can't speak or write if you have nothing to say. So, it seems to me that thinking goes along with speaking and writing, doesn't it?
Thank you. Worth mentioning that voice recognition sometimes doesn't recognize words in your native language too, so don't be hard on yourself with a foreign one :D I have a question about flashcards, there are lots of videos about Anki & Quizlet but most of them are for beginners, like, how to use the apps, how to make flashcards "word in a target language -> word in a native language", but what about higher levels? What types of flashcards do you recommend? Should they include native language too or only a target one?
True! Thank you for this comment. As for flashcards, I do want to address the issues that you mentioned in a video about flashcards. I actually even used them while preparing for the C2 Cambridge exam a while back. And you can definitely do a lot more with them than just word-translation. Stay tuned! And thank you for the questions
@@innainenglish Thank you for your answer. I just feel a bit lost. Flashcards helped me a lot in the beginning of studying languages but starting B1-B2 in each language I stop feeling progress and get bored. I've tried "definition -> word/phrase", "fill in example sentence", "sentence in Russian(native) -> sentence in target language"(after I saw a video that you need to connect new information to the old one to build a network). I've tried just having a log book and re-reading phrases/sentences from previous study sessions (this doesn't feel productive at all, simple reading doesn't help). I also saw a recommendation to just have lots of input, and check the words you don't know and need, and after a few times you'll eventually learn them, and this doesn't feel right, I'm a person who loves lists and seeing how much I achieved/learned :D So I came to the conclusion that either I don't do proper flashcards or I should use them in a different way, maybe make a story using each flashcard due today. I don't know, will be waiting for your video :)
Инна, как вы добились такого произношения, это просто восторг!!!!
Многолетняя практика :) Спасибо!
Вітаньні, кароткая прычоска Вам пасуе нашмат лепей, выглядаеце цудоўна! Дзякуй за відэё!
Дзякуй :)
All books and all topic are likes
Hello . I am troubled with Speakout book DVD .Can you tell me where I can get it ? 😢
Very useful. I registered an online tutor platform to practise spoken English, but I find it was not efficient and effective if student is not prepared enough. For me now, the only biggest problem is that I don't know how much and how long shall I practise and learn myself to achieve enough level.
Unfortunately, no one can answer this question for you. The time you'll need varies a lot. But if we're speaking about how much time you should dedicate to learning every week, the simple answer is of course, as much as you can :) But I would suggest at least 4 hours a weak, preferably spread over the week rather than crammed in one day
Could you please share the German textbook?
Thank you for the video. For what level is your course going to be?
There are going to be grammar and pronunciation courses for anyone who has finished B1 (so, anyone who's starting B2 or higher) and vocabulary courses for those who are in the middle of B2 or higher. And I'm also going to teach General English in long-term groups, at levels B2, C1 and possibly C2.
Hi Ms! Top notch sweet voice & lovely looking.
Dear Inna, would you be so kind and share with me what textbook did you use to learn German. I am trying to come back to this language after so many years and would like to find some good one.
Taking into consideration your extensive knowledge in term od languages in generalyour recommendation will definitely be a success. I will be extremely grateful for your reply.
By the way, your videos are more than great. Kind regards. Barbara ❤
Sure! I used Menschen for A1 and A2 on my own, loved it! Then for B1.1 I did a course at a language school and we used Netzwerk. Then for B1.2 I just kept reading Deutsch Perfekt, which is an absolute must for intermediate learners of German (those who can have access to it and afford it of course).
Thank you very much Inna. I am extremely grateful for your reply. Wishing further success at your foreign languages journey. You are very gifted, by the way.
Kind regards ❤
Какой красивый британский акцент.
Hello Inna, what's your favourite English textbook? Thanks. Jana
Sorry about that! I forgot to add it into the description. Have just done it
@@innainenglish❤ Thank you!
Pks recommend sources for advanced level
Hi, I am a English learner. I start now. Can i get someone we practice speaking
I am learning English from websites by myself for almost two years and I realized that I should switch to English books
Hi
Hello Hello
What level of English might I have if I can understand everything you're saying (you're talking about) in this video without subtitles, but I am unable to speak accurately? Just interesting...
I mean that I hear every word, and can write down everything you are saying accurately. However, I can not speak accurately.
I wish I could speak without any 'thinking'... I want to speak effortlessly, without any need for hesitation or overthinking.
Well it's hard to say, because listening is just one of the skills. The problem is, one can absolutely be on different levels in their productive (speaking, writing) and receptive (listening, reading) skills. Well, since you understand everything I'm saying you definitely have a B1 in receptive skills. But above that? You could be at the beginning of B2, you could be full B2, you could even be C1 in comprehension. While your speaking skills could be B1 or beginning of B2 for example. But again, it's hard to say, those are just wild guesses
@@innainenglish Yes, I agree with you. I definitely feel that I have different levels in productive (speaking, writing) and receptive (listening, reading) skills. Receptive skills are much higher than productive ones. Will be working on it (improving that).
Thanks for your videos! You are a role model I want to follow. ✨✨✨
Книга Харпера Ли выдает происхождение автора видео)
Мое происхождение не секрет :)
Recently I did it apply for this purpose but nothing.
What did you apply? For what purpose?
Would be cool to try your courses, but is there any hope to book them for those who can't use instagram(Hi from Russia)?
I will definitely announce my courses here on UA-cam as well, don't worry! However, I'm not one hundred per cent sure how's it gonna go with payments. I still haven't researched the banks and the services I can use to receive payments from outside the EU. But I hope I will be able to do that
Where is the textbook that you would like to share with us ??! ❤
Sorry about that! I've just added it in the description
It is not still clear for me what I love your channel for - the way you speak or the way you look, darling
narrow listening what does it mean?
Please check out the link int he description!
And what about reading books?
I mean, I just don't think it's essential or the most efficient way to improve in a foreign language. I myself am a book lover and I read a lot in all languages, but it's not something essential to a language learning plan I think
If I understand everything you say without subtitles, what level of listening do I have?
I'd say B2 or higher
When I listening everything seems easy but when it comes to respond it's like ouh tough😔
The only way to learn speaking is to speak :)
learner Spanish German French 😳
And English :) Because you can never say "I'm done with this language. I finished it."
Все равно слышны русские звуки и небольшой русский акцент 😊
У Вас произношение класс вы наверно в Англии выросли😮?
Нет, родилась, выросла и жила почти всю жизнь в Беларуси
would anyone like to practice speaking with me ? I have B1-B2
Are you a lady? I am also looking for a speaking partner, but a lady, because I am a lady.
@@amixa4147 Im a man
Give your number bro,i wanna practice with you
I learning English 20 years and still do not know English :D
I don't care about my pronunciation 😊
why you don’t?
OMG this is the first Video that I understood completely 😍
Thanks Inna for giving these practical tips❤
Now it's time to change my study plan
Yay so happy for you!
Please proofread your title. "Create you LANGUAGE LEARNING PLAN" should be:

Thank you!
Lange dich nicht sehen, Inna
Es tut mir sehr leid! Aber ich bin wieder da :)
