Can u sound native if you are a native in an English speaking country but spoke another regional language in your childhood, before switching to speaking English extensively in adulthood?

Matt will have a lot of success teaching English in Japan. Also, why not start a RUclips channel in Japanese for those Japanese who want to master English but won't be able to follow his channel in English just yet?

Japanese from zero or Genki ? which one to buy

Hey,what's up buddy.

can you tell me the alternate sentense for this ,"I left from home at 1 o'clock in a huff to Tata's office on saturday."

I can maintain 6 from 10 languages. But, I'm working at least 1h/day speaking, learning, listening... Music/series/movies + applis like Tandem & HellowTalk are very helpful.

The TH is a giveaway if someone is a native speaker of English or not.

It is a complete waste of time. To any young people considering this as an option, keep looking.

PGCE is way overrated. What a waste of everybodys time. Of 10 finishers not one ive spoken with has positive experience or teaching job. Do you really want to invest up to 3 years of your life in something which has such poor prospects?

I've had this book for several months and am about halfway through it, and its helped my grammar, however my kanji skills are seriously lacking

Another website that is similar but also does translations is called LyricFluent. You might like it. Some parts are paid though

If anyone here is learning English and dont feel like they are good enough don’t feel discouraged if you are struggling because English is often difficult even for native speakers, secondly don’t worry too much about trying to reach the highest level in English because unless you are doing formal writing you probably won’t need many of those words, thirdly if you find a video of someone who is teaching English especially if they themselves are not a native speaker I recommend fact checking what they are saying to make sure it is accurate because I have noticed that certain creators on RUclips and tiktok are not always correct with their lessons, and finally from a native English speaker I wish you luck and I believe in you (also if you come across this and you are learning English feel free to ask me any questions I would love to help you ❤️)

Awesome video! Best video I've seen on this topic! I love your dicussion on how people will never become native. Yes, native isn't really a level -- so it's hard to explain. You did a great job with it!

So well put, refreshing!

Thank you Kevin, this is very very useful and informative. Much appreciated.

Nice review. I'm learning Japanese solely for the manga, haha.

Thanks! I've been teaching myself Japanese for fun and this looks interesting as a book to mix up my learning.

Bravo. Thanks for sharing! :)

I was not going to ask you to share your thesis, just about the topic itself. It feels "stupid" to me to even consider code switching as being a real, spontaneous phenomenon, rather than just people engaging in some sort comedic act. In other words, I don't see the point of studying something that feels like a built-up lie. Does it really, actually, happen? I speak English and Bosnian and, like I said, it's all mostly comedic. More incredible still is this code-switching within a single sentence. I don't do that spontaneously, either, that's almost always a conscious thing I do for comedy. So how real is it? Maybe I haven't been brought up in contexts that would warrant this being a natural thing.

Fellow language channel here - recently got reached out to for my first language sponsor and found this video. So so helpful. This was exactly what I was searching for. Thank you for sharing and the transparency with this!

Got forced to learn French as my gcse, it makes me want to bang my head into the wall.

RTK is actually a multi-book series. People typically stop at RTK 1.

I can hear slight French accent. Are you from France? Your English is really good.

Great video! I've found out about you through the Simp himself and I'm really excited about going through tiur videos, as a language enthusiast and inguistics nerd myself hah

Hi good morning

Maaaatt! Hi! 👋

That was painful 😂 I’ve studied the ART of French since K-13 plus my undergrad degree to have it slaughtered 😂 his French was nowhere near perfect, I don’t agree with the click bait title at all. We can tell he has an understanding of textbook study but his accent and pronunciation are just terrible

11:21 I agree you don't have a stereotypical French accent but I thought you were German with a hint of British accent here and there.

Thank you very much, so helpful. 😃👍🎉🎊

Hey Kevin , I wanna ask a question about audios of this book. How can I obtain these audios freely. There are a website of this book but it is expensive so i want to benefit for free. Can you help me?

I think the only thing that makes C2 English learners to seem obvious for native speakers that they are not native in English is their accent, and all the other things that you mentioned in the video like being familiar with the history of a country where the language is spoken, its pop culture, being able to understand what kind of way of using vocabulary sounds natural/unnatural and etc. is very easy to learn since C2 level means that you are exposed to the language completely.

My feeling, the word choice of a native speaker is deeply associated with the emotional context they've been immersed in since childhood. So, how could it be possible to do the same thing being out of the context? The C2 is just a fantastic achievement.

Even if I've been learning English for a decade (it's a compulsory course during school years here in my country), and just got my C1 certificate, there are still tons of things to learn in so many aspects... so yes those videos talking about how one MASTERS a dozen of languages in just a few years, they are ridiculous and misleading. Moreover, I don't even think I have a sufficient efficency in my mother tongue, learning languages or in any other field is just a lifelong process. PS: about the impossibility of being truly native, I've been struggling with the acceptance of that fact, so that you pointed it out actually encouraged me a little bit:) I'm trying to come to terms with that

En tant que une personne qui apprend le français et connaît les bases du japonais, j’ai trouvé cette vidéo très utile ! Je serais très heureux si vous faisiez plus de vidéos en français. Merci beaucoup!

Would you say the "Write and Improve" website is accurate on estimating your Cambridge English level? If so, to what extent is it accurate? On my worst days, I would score right about the B2 level, whereas on my best days, C2. I am keen on improving for self-education!

Scammy bastard 😆

Sir , I want to ask a question. Which job did you choose after your ma linguistics. Sir because I am so confused what should I choose in ma linguistics or English literature.

"dis shawawa" a la fin mdrrr

You are actaully describing phonetics rather than phonology! Phonology is more so sound patterns and the important, distinctive sounds in a language. The two fields closely interact though. you first need an understanding of phonetics before you can move onto phonology:)

I also came here from emkay, seen another commenter saying they have. I also have this book and get a little confused by it so I hope this review will be helpful to me, I just started watching!

Purée la prétention du mec.

Many of my English learners from Libya neglect basics and jump to acquiring what they describe a native "cool accent"..I think every body's accent is an identity! How can one live in Africa and has a British/American accent? Poor lads

i don't think he misguided it,I've watched dozens of his video ,he encourages to know the structure of a language,though the effect is very limited,that's the fact,it's also mentioned by Steven karshen

I got the Genki 1 book and it’s been useful so far but I’m thinking about getting this book instead of the Genki 2 book, do you think it is a good idea?

I'm going to subscribe your RUclips channel because I saw your content is important for me ''''Good luck keep going

reticular activation system.

Sir, I not only like your accent but above all your attitude and mindset. I wish more people will realize hownimportant it is to forget about accents in order to achieve fluency. To me you are fluent, well articulate and well spoken. Proud!
