As a non-native English speaker who has been learning the language for the past 20 years, I’ve reached a C2 level in all aspects except speaking, where I’m still at somewhere between B2 and C1. I can confidently say that 90% of the methods and resources Zoe suggested align with the most effective ones I’ve found after much trial and error. I rarely comment on UA-cam videos, but I believe she truly deserves recognition for this one. It’s clear that she knows what she’s talking about, and this is not your everyday video. I’m glad I stumbled upon it, and I’ll definitely be applying her advice for improving my speaking skills.
in brief: The video is a comprehensive guide on improving English proficiency for adults. Zoe, the host, speaks seven languages and shares her personal journey in mastering English. She emphasizes the importance of self-assessment, effective communication, and integrating learning into daily routines. 1. **Self-Assessment**: Zoe begins by highlighting the significance of evaluating one's current English level. She recommends online resources like the Cambridge test and the British Council's app, English Score, for this purpose. 2. **Pronunciation and Accent**: The video differentiates between pronunciation (the way letters are pronounced) and accent (variations in speaking style based on region). Zoe stresses clear pronunciation for effective communication and suggests resources for British and American pronunciations. 3. **Vocabulary and Grammar**: Zoe advises against rote memorization of words, advocating learning in context. She recommends using apps like Busuu, which provides structured lessons, and resources like Anki or Quizlet. She also suggests fixing one grammar point per day using resources like "Essential Grammar in Use" by Cambridge and listening to the "Six Minute Grammar" podcast. 4. **Listening and Speaking Skills**: She emphasizes shadowing exercises to improve these skills. Zoe describes her method of shadowing BBC lecture podcasts, involving multiple listenings and repetitions to match rhythm, intonation, and stress patterns. 5. **Intermediate Learning**: At this stage, Zoe suggests integrating grammar exercises with English grammar resources, focusing more on listening and speaking. She recommends shadowing exercises using channels like "Learn English with TV Series" and "Too Fluency". 6. **Advanced Learning**: For advanced learners, Zoe suggests immersing in English through TV shows, movies, music, and using resources like Audible for audiobooks. She recommends reading and writing exercises, such as summarizing articles from "The Economist". 7. **Study Plans and Resources**: Throughout the video, Zoe provides detailed study plans for different levels and lists numerous resources for each aspect of learning English. She encourages viewers to integrate these activities into their daily routines. 8. **Conclusion**: Zoe concludes by motivating viewers to take action and use the tools and methods she has shared. She encourages questions and interaction in the video comments. This video is a rich resource for adults looking to improve their English, offering practical advice, personal insights, and a wealth of resources for learners at all levels.
My daily plan [B1/B2] : choose two or three periods. 15 Min. Flashcards 15 Min. TV series or to flouncy 20 Min. Wednesday series 10 Min. Vlog 10 Min. Shadowing 10 Min. Speaking or writing 15 Min. Grammar
Hi, i have a question about this sentece: "2. TV series or to ?????" I hope you fix that , I was reading it and I understood 50%, I'm still learning expressions, I can't confirm this sentence properly, but I think it's wrong and I go into the translation and you say TO FLOUNCY. Meaning expression: "I flouncy you yesterday" I'm learning alone on my pc, i'm a Brazilian teenager (I'm 17 years old), but I hope to have fun learning English, with the TV series I like the most, I listen to podcasts just on my way to work or taking a shower
@@DanSamm Hi I think you understand me wrong, or I should have explained more. I meant I'll watch [TV series] or [To flouncy] they are channels here, on UA-cam. But thanks for your note and comment, good luck with learning.
Love your plans. Simple and great, thanks Zoe. Also here are some proverbs/wisdoms you might like (judging that you liked: language isn't a race...) 1. Goal without project is a dream. 2. Project without goal is a hobby. 3. The man/woman who likes the journey will walk far away from the man/woman who likes the destination itself.

Hello zoe . I'm 26. I'm an engineer student. My level english is about pre-ıntermediate. I think , Best things for learning english listening, speaking and pron. is watching children video. I watched steve and maggie canal in UA-cam. It did teach me a lots of vocabruary and listening-speaking-prn.
For learning portuguese, i just googled the 1000 most used words and made an excel sheet with the words. I used Memorion on Android to import the Excel and learn the flash cards. I split them into nouns, verbs etc. I started with nouns and went on to verbs so i could start expressing myself in basic sentences. Of course this wasnt enough but it helped me get started. Just in case you guys dont like Ankii, because I found the lists there a lot of times are not what I needed.
@@matheusgois5980 I m learning european portuguese and no thanks :) It was just a general statement to try and help other people that learn a language to get another idea on how to get started.
Zoe, I'm a former English teacher and I have to say that your methods are incredibly helpful and effective not only for learning English but also other languages. Your tips are amazing! Thank you
Greeting from Japan, i think someone who can understand your video in English is not beginners Anyway, thanks for sharing your tips and I hope your methods improve my English skills

I am learning English, but I feel that it is complicated and I have not made much progress, so I have decided to study every day through your videos learning new words to increase my vocabulary, thanks for your advice.
[Chinese is my mother tongue] I love you forever. I am a Chinese and I love Chinese culture forever, although she not the best but I still love her.❤❤❤
I have been patiently waiting for another one of your videos. I live in Grimaud in the south of France and your videos keep me motivated and inspired on my journey to learn French. Thank you
I looooooove this video. It is so real, yes we are struggling with " English mute" unfortunately. I'm so excited to start my journey in Improve my English level ❤❤❤
So impressed with your language abilities as a polyglot, Zoe! As you said, it's really important to learn vocabulary in context and not just memorize flashcards.
Thank you Zoe. I've been waiting for your take on learning English. I'm one of the people who achieved fluency up to the C1 level in reading and listening, but my writing and speaking are subpar (perhaps just at the B1 level). I never feel confident with my grammar (I depend on Grammarly most of the time) and the native speaker has difficulty understanding my pronunciation. I found it helpful that you broke down the type of skill that needs to be mastered as it gives me an idea of which types of skills I need to focus on. I took notes on all the resources you've mentioned and can't wait to dive into them soon.
I'm at the same level with you! Unfortunately it's very hard for me to speak alone with myself or to do shadowing. I can't speak with my phone/laptop at all, I need a real person. But my pronunciation is ok i guess, a native speaker understood me... for grammar I recommend checking out the points you are weak on and focus on them.
Thank you for your sharing. I am a teenager who got 6.5 marks in IELTS last year and I am panic about my English proficiency, although I can understand 80-90% of classical literature like ‘The old man and the sea’, and watching your video without subtitles 😢
Thank you Zoe. I am self-leaner and work full-time. Your video is very helpful for me to find leaning resources and learning goals and plan that suit with me.
I'm a new English learner . Finally, I take this step and I hope that I'll be fluent English Speaker . I don't know how can I describe the importance of Learning English in terms of business , relations and job opportunities. That is it . Thank you ❤❤❤
Hi Zoe, I'm a spanish speaker trying to reach the fluency in English and your videos are very useful for me, because I listen many advices on how to learn a language at the same time I am listening it in my target language. I like documentaries and science fiction too🤩 By the way, I understand you better than native speakers XD Keep going and greetings from Spain!
Thank you for the fabulous video, here I found a lot of useful content, now as many here, as I can see in the comments, I am in level B1. Unfortunately, as I am living in slavic country, to be precise Ukraine, I have not a lot of native speakers here, that is why it is a big deal for me to improve my speaking skills. Now, when you have shared your own experience I built in my head a plan of self-improving. You have done a great work! Have a nice day!
from someone that literally learn English without any study, I can say for sure that the best way when you are French to learn is immersion since most of the stuff is really similar. Make friends, talk with them, watch UA-cam and other content, That's it
I speak English natively, so I don't know why UA-cam sent me here. However, I kept watching because the advice is of high quality and is applicable elsewhere.
خیلی ممنونم زویی برای این ویدیو. میتونم به جرئت بگم بهترین ویدیو برای من بوده . از اونجایی که تازه وارد دهه 20 شدم و نیاز داشتم که یک تکونی به انگلیسیم بدم . بابت منابع مفیدت خیلی خیلی ممنونم لطفا همینطوری به ساخت ویدیوهای خفن و مفیدت ادامه بده🙂❤
Hi Zoe! This is Luis, from Arequipa, Peru. Thanks a million for your advice and plans for improving our teaching. I will put it into practice on June 1st. I will let you know how it works with my students. I hope to hear more from you soon. Have a great time wherever you are now!
je ne pensais pas du tout que vous parliez français j'essaye d'apprendre l'anglais et ça ma remonter le morale car vous parlez très bien et je ne parle pas du tout anglais j'espere je serais comme vous :)
Very interesting video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
Hello,man.I am a 18 boy from China.I look this video to improve my English.And I see your comment.Even if I can't understand totally your sentence,I just read it do my best.Wish you have a good day!
Thank you so much for the tips, my English has been so neglected since I graduated that I found difficult write this single phrase! Even if I listen to this language quite often, but without proper attention to structure or phonetic, it's no use! Thank you again for this video and materials you suggested!!!
Hi Zoe! Your advice and tips are in good taste. I have used several of your recommendations myself and they help me a lot. It is always a pleasure to watch your well-thought-out videos.
Hi! I happened to come across your video and I just wanted to express my gratitude for the amazing video you created on English learning tips. Your video is incredibly helpful and informative, and it has been a pleasure to watch it several times. I genuinely believe that your tips and advice will be beneficial for those who are striving to improve their English skills. Thank you once again, Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing more videos from you in the future.
Hi Zoe, I started working on my skills three months ago, but recently I've been feeling lost in a fog due to the lack of a well-constructed study plan. However, I'm happy to share that your advice is very motivating and helps me create a well-defined plan to continue my English journey. I'm really excited to start this new daily routine. Thank you for your guidance!
thank you for this wonderful information....in following this steps we can eventually build a strong vocabulary and we can also speak and have conversations with native speakers.....
omaygad omaygad. this is way too good. The way you explain everything in every level is so clear. I watch again when Iam alone in my room and wrote down all your tips. thank you zoe
@@AAA-xg8oyI think you’re only going to take about 30 sec translation of A1-A2 section for her, go for sharing the recommended training materials and saving your time
Thank you Zoe, your videos on learning strategies are the very best out there. I consider you one of my teachers by now, I hope I can one day achieve similar heights in the number of languages I have learned and the skillfulness in them, I will be using your c1/c2 study plan for English as I think I have that but will still test myself using the link you have provided. Thank you once more.
I really respect your way of talking about your work , and the most weak word i can say is I really admire your progress , by the way you are the most respectable person I have seen on youtube , wish you the best
Thanks for the interesting helpful tips. Is it worth learning several languages at the same time? for example, my English is now a2-b1+-, should I start learning French, or should I first bring one language to a good level (confident b2-c1, and then move on to the next? from your experience
Hello, Zoe! I'm your subscriber, closely follow your videos, I am very fascinated by your discipline and you are an example for me. I live in Russia, far from the city in the countryside, I study at home, this video's become a support for me, thanks a lot to your advice! I have an English university exam in a month, I dream of devoting my life to learning languages. I don't have any teachers and I study on my own. To pass the exam comfortably, I need a B2 level, I am currently studying for my B1 and I hope I can improve my English before the exam. I see progress in something, but I am worried about my weaknesses in basics, especially I have problems with stative and active verbs, prepositions and problems with the correct use of words. I have a question,how to properly and effectively distribute all languages blocks for the day: listening, reading, speaking, grammar and vocabulary? I have to improve all the language skills of course, but the most difficult parts in the exam for me are speaking and reading. In the speaking part I have 4 tasks: reading a short text, answer questions from an electronic assistant on a specific topic, ask questions and I have to describe two pictures which shows two different ways for something ( having different pets, spending free time etc.) and talk about their advantages and disadvantages. In the reading part there's task where I have to read the text and choose the right judgments about it, this text is usually of the B2 level, many words are not clear to me. How to mix all of your grate advices on language learning with specific exam tasks? I will be very grateful for your answer!
it's hard to practice all skills at once, try to focus on one or two skills for a while. I see it is more important for you to work for your exam right now. It seems like you know your weaknesses and the tasks you need to do very well, that's a good thing! Just need to study with priorities, for example, speaking and reading for 1 month with lots of exercises for the exam. The most important thing is to set a concrete program and do it every day! I wish you good luck
@@zoe.languages Your quick answer touched me, you're the best of all youtubers in languages! Your advice gave me more strength, thank you so much! I'll do my best! God bless you!
@@EnglishLanguageAndMe Yes, I use The complete guide to english pronunciation from BBC learning English, which Zoe recommended in this video, also a book "Ship or sheep" by Ann Baker, it helps
Thank you so much Zoe for sharing with us your valuable expertise, you instill in me confidence and practical strategy to implement. However, I am wondering how did you become so proficient in English in just 1 year? You're definitely at the highest level of English proficiency, even being in an English speaking country, reading and speaking daily, I find it hard to advance further, such as improving the variety and complexity of my grammatical structures, sounding more sophisticated(you do), or being able to tell stories with vivid details. i am B2/C1 level with the Cambridge test. I find Busuu is not helpful for these purposes. Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable knowledge!
I am not criticizing you at all, but I do notice that you have a strong Chinese accent when you speak English (in German or French you have less of an accent). Maybe it would be helpful if you learn the intonation of English sentences or work on clearer pronunciations? I do also have an accent too, I have no intention of being polemical.
I think thanks to this video I got a clear vision of what he should do to speak English You are amazing to learn 7 languages fluently and with this passion to bless God ❤❤
Miss Zoe is a great teacher and advicer, merci, vous devez lancer votre propre entreprise de formation, avec votre culture mondiale. Dites nous, svp, que pensez vous des langues des gens de différents cultures. Merci PS: Vous etes tellement belle, vous devez faire manequin
Thanks a lot for the video, I do appreciate it. Unfortunately one of the channels that you mentioned is not active anymore, this is to fluency, this amazing channel is not active.😢😢

Hi Zoe, I'm a spanish speaker trying to reach the fluency in English and your videos are very useful for me, because I listen many advices on how to learn a language at the same time I am listening it in my target language. I like documentaries and science fiction too🤩
By the way, I understand you better than native speakers XD
Keep going and greetings from Spain!
Keep going ! 🥰💪
@@zoe.languages Yeahh🤩🥰

I have just come from bilibili, thank you very much!!! I will start learning now and report my English level in half a year!
Would love a video on Chinese learning for C1 level? Hehe ❤
Next week 😉
AHA
I wish i found your channel earlier. This was THE best study plan video i have stumbled upon, thankyou zoe😊
Thank you for the fabulous video, here I found a lot of useful content, now as many here, as I can see in the comments, I am in level B1. Unfortunately, as I am living in slavic country, to be precise Ukraine, I have not a lot of native speakers here, that is why it is a big deal for me to improve my speaking skills. Now, when you have shared your own experience I built in my head a plan of self-improving. You have done a great work! Have a nice day!
@@abakerabdalla-vi8wu nobody cares what you want
@@Couch_fighter nobody cares your opinion too.
from someone that literally learn English without any study, I can say for sure that the best way when you are French to learn is immersion since most of the stuff is really similar. Make friends, talk with them, watch UA-cam and other content, That's it
Thanks a lot Zoe. Your instructions are very clear and really helpful. Always looking forward to your vlogs.
I speak English natively, so I don't know why UA-cam sent me here. However, I kept watching because the advice is of high quality and is applicable elsewhere.
👍
Thanks so much Zoe ❤learning English in my late 20's is hard and soo challenging. As always your videos are really complete 🤩
You can do it!
It's not that hard, English is an easy language to learn, it just takes time, years to be honest
@@mcmerry2846 Absolutely correct!
Hi❤
خیلی ممنونم زویی برای این ویدیو. میتونم به جرئت بگم بهترین ویدیو برای من بوده . از اونجایی که تازه وارد دهه 20 شدم و نیاز داشتم که یک تکونی به انگلیسیم بدم . بابت منابع مفیدت خیلی خیلی ممنونم لطفا همینطوری به ساخت ویدیوهای خفن و مفیدت ادامه بده🙂❤
Hi Zoe! This is Luis, from Arequipa, Peru. Thanks a million for your advice and plans for improving our teaching. I will put it into practice on June 1st. I will let you know how it works with my students. I hope to hear more from you soon. Have a great time wherever you are now!

je ne pensais pas du tout que vous parliez français j'essaye d'apprendre l'anglais et ça ma remonter le morale car vous parlez très bien et je ne parle pas du tout anglais j'espere je serais comme vous :)
Very interesting video! Many thanks to the author of the channel for the recommendations! The problem with many people is that they want to take a "magic pill" or get "secret knowledge" and immediately have skills and abilities. However, the truth of life is that knowledge, skills, and abilities do not come by themselves. You can't learn a foreign language without doing anything, without wasting your time and effort, just like you can't learn to ride a bike lying on a comfy couch, listening to lectures and watching videos about "modern methods of learning" on a bike. To really learn something, you have to really practice every day. You're going to fall down while you're learning, and you're going to get bumps - that's normal! The ups and downs of learning are an integral part of our lives. Motivation from success and depression from failure will always be your study companions. However, every student has problems in his or her studies that he or she lacks the knowledge to solve. It can be: poor memorization of words; no progress in language learning; the student can speak, but does not understand speech by ear; misunderstanding of grammar; incorrect pronunciation, etc. Agree that a problem you don't know how to solve is very demotivating. In order to find the answer to our question we have to spend a lot of time to read videos, articles and books by polyglots. In today's world, we have to solve problems as quickly as possible. I don't have time to study and analyze a huge amount of information. My goal is to master the basic knowledge of a foreign language as quickly as possible and already start earning money effectively in the international arena. I settled on the practical guide by Yuriy Ivantsiv " Polyglot's Notes: practical tips for learning foreign language". This book is always in my bag. If I have a problem while learning a language, I quickly find the answer in this book. There are many different techniques and tips for learning a foreign language in Polyglot Notes. I have made my own individual schedule and plan for language learning. Now I know what I am going to study, how I am going to study, when I am going to study and what results I am going to achieve. No problem could stop me! With an effective language learning plan my professional skills are more and more in demand internationally every day. Friends, don't stop there! Everyone has talents that millions of people around the world need! Learn the language and make your ideas and dreams come true! Thanks to the author of the channel for the informative and useful video! Your videos motivate me.
Hello,man.I am a 18 boy from China.I look this video to improve my English.And I see your comment.Even if I can't understand totally your sentence,I just read it do my best.Wish you have a good day!
You're superb, as Indonesian i am proud to see asian can teach English in smooth like this🤘👏
Even though I speak natively, this is still a great video with really useful tips. If you haven't already, you should do a bookshelf tour!
Wow!
its unbelievable that you master almost 7 languages at this age!
Thank you so much for the tips, my English has been so neglected since I graduated that I found difficult write this single phrase! Even if I listen to this language quite often, but without proper attention to structure or phonetic, it's no use! Thank you again for this video and materials you suggested!!!
Glad it was helpful!
To be honest, you are the most beautiful teacher I've even seen

Hi Zoe, I started working on my skills three months ago, but recently I've been feeling lost in a fog due to the lack of a well-constructed study plan. However, I'm happy to share that your advice is very motivating and helps me create a well-defined plan to continue my English journey. I'm really excited to start this new daily routine. Thank you for your guidance!

iam so happy the way you explain for us english
Thank you Zoe, your videos on learning strategies are the very best out there. I consider you one of my teachers by now, I hope I can one day achieve similar heights in the number of languages I have learned and the skillfulness in them, I will be using your c1/c2 study plan for English as I think I have that but will still test myself using the link you have provided.
Thank you once more.
I really respect your way of talking about your work , and the most weak word i can say is I really admire your progress , by the way you are the most respectable person I have seen on youtube , wish you the best
Please ma'am make a video about Spanish language (Beginner To Intermediate )🇪🇸 level :)🙏🏻

You help me alot for my studying of Chinese and English.Thank you so much Zoe❤❤❤
With reference to 07:07 , where can I find scripts?
For me, this is the most useful video on this channel. I'm learning English. Thank you Zoe
You're very welcome!
Thanks for the interesting helpful tips. Is it worth learning several languages at the same time? for example, my English is now a2-b1+-, should I start learning French, or should I first bring one language to a good level (confident b2-c1, and then move on to the next? from your experience
Sen bu dünyadaki çok güzel bir detaysın.
Hello, Zoe! I'm your subscriber, closely follow your videos, I am very fascinated by your discipline and you are an example for me. I live in Russia, far from the city in the countryside, I study at home, this video's become a support for me, thanks a lot to your advice! I have an English university exam in a month, I dream of devoting my life to learning languages. I don't have any teachers and I study on my own. To pass the exam comfortably, I need a B2 level, I am currently studying for my B1 and I hope I can improve my English before the exam. I see progress in something, but I am worried about my weaknesses in basics, especially I have problems with stative and active verbs, prepositions and problems with the correct use of words. I have a question,how to properly and effectively distribute all languages blocks for the day: listening, reading, speaking, grammar and vocabulary? I have to improve all the language skills of course, but the most difficult parts in the exam for me are speaking and reading.
In the speaking part I have 4 tasks: reading a short text, answer questions from an electronic assistant on a specific topic, ask questions and I have to describe two pictures which shows two different ways for something ( having different pets, spending free time etc.) and talk about their advantages and disadvantages.
In the reading part there's task where I have to read the text and choose the right judgments about it, this text is usually of the B2 level, many words are not clear to me.
How to mix all of your grate advices on language learning with specific exam tasks?
I will be very grateful for your answer!
it's hard to practice all skills at once, try to focus on one or two skills for a while. I see it is more important for you to work for your exam right now. It seems like you know your weaknesses and the tasks you need to do very well, that's a good thing! Just need to study with priorities, for example, speaking and reading for 1 month with lots of exercises for the exam. The most important thing is to set a concrete program and do it every day! I wish you good luck
@@zoe.languages Your quick answer touched me, you're the best of all youtubers in languages! Your advice gave me more strength, thank you so much! I'll do my best!
God bless you!
I am also learning English. How did you learn pronunciation without a teacher? Is it possible?
@@EnglishLanguageAndMe Yes, I use The complete guide to english pronunciation from BBC learning English, which Zoe recommended in this video, also a book "Ship or sheep" by Ann Baker, it helps
@@vassa1047 Thank you, I'll try it
undoubtedly a great professional in the field of knowledge of the English language
Thank you so much Zoe for sharing with us your valuable expertise, you instill in me confidence and practical strategy to implement. However, I am wondering how did you become so proficient in English in just 1 year? You're definitely at the highest level of English proficiency, even being in an English speaking country, reading and speaking daily, I find it hard to advance further, such as improving the variety and complexity of my grammatical structures, sounding more sophisticated(you do), or being able to tell stories with vivid details. i am B2/C1 level with the Cambridge test. I find Busuu is not helpful for these purposes. Thank you so much for sharing your invaluable knowledge!
I have mostly grown up in America and I can relate to wanting to expand my grammatical structures, as well as my vocabulary. I wish you and I luck!
I'm starting today. I'll write here as I make progress. I'm excited. Thank you 🏋
I am not criticizing you at all, but I do notice that you have a strong Chinese accent when you speak English (in German or French you have less of an accent). Maybe it would be helpful if you learn the intonation of English sentences or work on clearer pronunciations? I do also have an accent too, I have no intention of being polemical.
I think so too
Of course she's Chinese 😅
Lol that's the consequence of learning 7 languages, you can be decent speaker but hardly beyond that
Is it how strong Chinese accent look like? For reall?
Muddy
I think thanks to this video I got a clear vision of what he should do to speak English
You are amazing to learn 7 languages fluently and with this passion to bless God
❤❤
Pray for PALASTINE❤
