How to Learn English in 6 Months | Tips to Help You Master English Faster

I always ask myself this question like: what's the worst that's going to happen if I do that? Yes, I may feel a little uncomfortable talking to this person or asking this question, but that's it, that's exactly the worst that's going to happen and you know. several times of that and you find that nothing bad happens, so you'll be fine and what about the dive? In a country where the language you want to

learn

is spoken by so many people today, unfortunately, we can travel so freely right now. overrated and misunderstood, then you'll see adults who go to another country and dive in and are dealing with other adults who talk adult to adult and can't find a way in properly, then you'll see people who have moved abroad.

I've lived there for 20 years, they still don't speak the language which is very common, okay, so this idea of ​​immersion you have to go much deeper, you need to find people you can speak well with, so for you. you're listening to podcasts, right, some people can watch football, it can be anything you know, you meet a friend who doesn't speak your language, you decide to

learn

theirs, you have these really simple interactions that grow over time, so It is not immersion in culture per se, it is immersion in the task of communicating what is meaningful and relevant to you.

I completely agree with you, especially the part about it being meaningful and relevant to you because you will always come back to it if it is exactly important to you. exactly it has to be meaningful it has to be relevant if it's not you're wasting your time and when I was watching your Ted talk you said people should find a linguistic father for themselves but you also said that like a spouse or boyfriend or girlfriend They are not good linguistic parents. I just wanted to ask you why. Why aren't they good at being linguistic parents? It's okay, it's okay with a spouse or a boyfriend or a girlfriend.

The relationship is going to be one. correct language and therefore if you want to learn the other person's language it means you become a baby and they remain adults so it changes the power distance between the two people and that can be quite detrimental in the relationship, that's why I say that a spouse is not particularly good. A linguistic parent is someone who understands what you want to say even if you are very wrong in your pronunciation. The choice of words. The degree of complexity you are using. Yes, now I understand why. You call this person language parent because this dynamic is like a father and son, right, yeah, so my next question is about being perfect in a foreign language and I also had this problem for a long time.

I was struggling, I mean, it's also like It's more of a personal problem just being perfect in general. Many people want to become fluent, advanced, perfect for themselves and in a foreign language. And what advice would you give to people who have anxiety about not being perfect in a foreign language? Well, then explain to us. To me, how can you be perfect using a screwdriver? I mean use it the way it's supposed to be used right. How about you are perfect at driving? Yes, that's more complicated, right? So what is perfect? Have you heard people speak Russian? and how often do they do it? stop halfway stutter change words again use the wrong word get lost in your head then the question is why do people set a target for a foreign language that is higher than the target they have accepted for their mother tongue there so much leeway when we speak our native language well we just don't care like it's my native language that's my native language I know everything so I can make as many mistakes as I want exactly exactly and they're not even mistakes sometimes it's just you your thought doesn't keep up with your mouth, sometimes really because what you're doing when you speak a language is you're going internally, you're trying to find the internal representations of what you're talking about and then you find the words to match and sometimes you can't. finding a word that actually does the job for what you're trying to do, then there are all these dynamics going on, you might get a little drunk, your tongue doesn't work the way it normally works, I mean, there are so many variables in terms of speaking a language that this idea of ​​perfection is just irritating and a barrier to becoming good at the language, yes you are absolutely right, yes there is no such thing as being perfect, yes that is it. which everyone has to realize and but you can be, you can be a six-month-old English baby and speak at a one-year-old level, or you can be a six-month-old English baby and speak at a five-month-old level and Growing up in your native language is the same, you know, some children are like when they are one year old, some are like silent until they are two years old.

Improvements should always be evaluated based on where I am now and whether I have gone beyond that. What I want to do? The next thing is better than not having this idealized thing called perfection and being a million miles away from it because that is soul destroying and not useful. Yes, there is always room for improvement. Yes, exactly, thank you very much for all your wonderful ideas and advice.
