Go Annelise! I suggest you watch American movies too with your possibly favorite actors or about a place or adventure you can relate with. I'm not a native speaker but I'm also watching Ted to work my way to advanced level of fluency in English. 😊

Me too!!!!

How de we improve our own voice?

キャンディス I guess about muscle memory. By listening to yourself, you will be able to notice the mistakes that you’re making while speaking

damn it so true

Yes I did that when I started learning English, it was horrible and couldn’t hear my voice, I still hate the way I talk ...

Ha me too

The same

Agree 👍🏻

Really?

Were you memorizing that words?

It's so hard to forget our accent, especially When you start to grow

the hero we need

Thanks. Because he goes up and then low his voice I can barely understand him.

And lot a reading to fix fast

I sometimes wonder,what you feel like when you can speak 5 language.. Does it confusing.. Im interested to learn arabic you know.. But just by hearing,i dont think i can learn that..

Thank you

@@khairulazmibadrudin8692 Arabic is so interested language..

Hi Daniel - yeah the whole 'native speaker' vs 'mastery' thing gets confused a lot. I certainly know a lot of my fellow native English speakers who have absolutely not mastered English and would struggle in undergraduate programs or even final year of high school. I am not sure I know very MANY native speakers who are only B2... that's pretty low. C1 definitely, but B2, it'd be maybe 3 in 100 who didn't go further than that in their native language.

Language teacher here: Native speakers are NOT at B2, they are generally C2, perhaps only C1 in some cases.

@@stefanhansen5882 - It depends how it's measured. For spoken fluency, yes, native speakers would almost always be super high. But I know plenty of native speakers who struggle to read prose that is written for adults, e.g. a novel. In other words, their reading is at B2. I know a FEW (not many) who would score B2 on the OOPT, and I think I know quite a few who would only score C1. I think it depends what language we're talking about though. English has an extremely wide range because there are so many speakers at different ends of the socio-economic spectrum. Norway on the other hand, wouldn't be home to many people who would fail a Norwegian test, because the education level is so high.

Well, I think what he tried to say has nothing to do with "having an accent makes you a worse speaker than a native person" What he said was that native speakers tend to (unconsciously) look differently at you if you don't have an accent. And yes, once again we all know that accents can be found in many different ways. Obviously what he tried to say is that in order to "be accepted" by native speakers (once again unconsciously) one shouldn't have an accent that tells that they don't belong to a certain country. For example, I'm from Brazil and we have MANY accents in here. It's a continental country. Even in my state, which is one of the smallest ones we have different kinds of accent. But I'd talk more freely and without thinking which words to use to a guy from the north of the country (I'm from the southern part of the country) knowing he's from the north cause of his accent than with a guy trying to speak Portuguese with a Japanese accent. We do have lots of communities here in Brazil. Italians and Japanese being the biggest ones. Thus, we come across many people who speak Portuguese with an accent that's not Brazilian. Specially in greater cities. I have a friend, she's Argentinian and when we go out together we tend to use easier vocabulary and we often don't overuse slang and idioms because she often feels confused or doesn't understand at all. What he said was very accurate and has nothing to do with being a better or worse speaker.

I couldn’t agree more. Legit advice here guys. Achieving C2 is far underestimated and no one really understands this, but in reality even native speakers have a hard time to get there through education and shaping a sophisticated personality for themselves, which in turn provides them with vast and complex expressions and vocabulary by the very nature of exposure to quality and diverse content. So the bottom line is don’t second-guess your hard work and try to stay on the progress.

Thanks, master. How can I eliminate my accent?

thanks

It's nice seeing it summoned like that , thank you :3

@@brerivera4541 repeat with a native teacher

You did good job

Bien hecho! Soy un gringo and that was great!

Hi Diana, could share me the SIMULATOR TRANING, thanks

@@robertogonzalez2502 Hi, You could look for toefl speaking tests......from TST prep

So,where are u from ?

depends on where you're from and how your accent sounds like. Native speakers react and behave differently toward different accents

i agree totally, a professor of me said the same thing: Your accent is you, dont change it...

Larisa is a common name in Russia) Maybe she is from Ukraine/Byelorussia

Полностью согласен!

how's your english going?

I did that with Spanish. I still am not totally fluent but I understand sooo much and can talk much better than before

Oh yes, when I'm speaking English I'm much more outgoing and extroverted. Im "cooler" and more adventurous.

you still speak portuguese, right?

Same Orion from Ogden, UTAH?

I used to think that... but now I also say aua when I'm with germans

Who said that thinking numbers in English means one has attained native speaker level?

lowgrasswhite I know many foreigners here (in New Caledonia) who don’t even speak very well French but swear in French when they’re surprised. I think it really depends what language you use the most in your daily life, no matter what your level is.

Counting and multiplying is always in your native language.

damnnn

Any tips on how you improved your accent?

I agree, I heard his accent right away too. I have a southern American accent and I sound very different than loads of other Americans. I disagree with him on the accent part. I think it’s just more about a command of grammar.

VENTHOR TOOLS you're RIGHT . People shouldn't be ashamed of theirs accent.

you re 100% right . I ve always thought of this way and you ve really put it in the best accurate way .

Totally agree!

Brilliant tutorial. I could listen to you all day. An excellent teacher!!

I'm also a proud beneficiary! I've built my portfolio massively and still building. Started with a UKposts referral

It's by simply investing in the stöcks and Cryptó market, with the help of my advisor.

I would advise you try EOS price prediction, it's a smart investment because it will rise again),

@Juliet Mark Personally, I trade with Mrs Jaymar. I will highly recommend her to you. Her services are exceptional and her returns are great

Indeed I agree with you. I have russian coworkers who have been living in my country for over 9 years but they still need help from me.

That's how I feel when I speak French. The people who look down on you probably only speak one language and don't understand the effort it takes to learn a new language. I wouldn't worry too much about what they think.
