#601 Advice For People Who Are Studying English

A new year special show.

Thank you very much to everyone who has been a guest on TDES so far.
Here is a list of the guests:

I went through the interviews and picked up the parts where people had answered this question:
What advice do you have for people who are studying English?
(Or a variation of that).

So ... what do you think? What advice do you have for people learning English (or other languages)?

I'm American. Here is my advice:

Its OK to make mistakes. Most Americans won't be angry(if they're not jerks). Also, tell the person you're talking to that you're trying to learn, and most Americans would appreciate that, I think!

I think it's kind of funny that the video is IN English... What if the people don't know enough about English to understand the advice you're giving them?

haha:)

I'm just being funny.

This is great advice for learning, ANY language, actually! All great advice! Just give it a try, practice, use it when you can-- and don't be afraid to mess up!:)

@Aptitude How many languages can you speak my international kind friend?

it's was great to listen to all those people speaking.... I jsut can't get Japanese people when they speak... it sounds so Japanese to me :) I guess, I must listen to them more often in order to understand them better. Thanks for the show!

have some videos of english speakers of your preferred subject ! watch them. understand them, write them, translate them, memorize them then record them with your own voice then listen to your videos and compare and correct. IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME BUT IT'S WORTH IT. One video of 10 min a week. You'll speak excellent english within a year or two.
