"Why do you teach English in English?" Here is my reply...

I have been making my English teaching videos for many years.

Quite possibly more years than I care to remember.

And during that time, I've received lots

and lots of messages from you

with questions, interesting questions.

Mr. Duncan,

why do you speak so slowly when you are teaching English?

Mr. Duncan Why do you speak so fast when you are teaching English?

It just goes to show you can't

please everyone all the time.

But I will always try my best.

Another question that I often receive is Mr.

Duncan.

Why do you teach English in English?

It seems like a very strange thing to do,

and I suppose to the casual observer,

it would seem like a strange thing to do.

However, there is method in my madness

because you can learn anything, anything at all.

If you put your mind to it.

You can learn absolutely anything,

including English.

For example, when I was a child,

I didn't know any language, I didn't know English.

I had no verbal skills.

However, I was able to learn English

without having any prior knowledge

of any particular language.

So it just goes to show it is possible

to learn English without knowing an English at all.

And that's the reason why I teach English on my

YouTube channel in English.

Of course, these days there are many ways of improving your English.

Besides watching my videos, you can read the captions.

You can also listen to my voice.

And of course, you can repeat this lesson

as many times as you want.

You can listen to my lesson once, twice,

or a thousand times if you really feel like it.

So my answer

to that question is yes, you can learn English in English.

And that is the reason why I teach English

in English as well.

Of course, one of the big secrets of learning anything

is to keep doing it, not to give up.

And that is one thing that many people do when they are trying to learn English.

They give up too quickly.

So my advice is to keep at it.

Don't give up.

Persevere.

Make sure you stay motivated.

And, of course, practice English every day.

So it is possible to learn English.

From me speaking English to you.

I hope...

this video clears up

that problem and I will see you again very soon.

ta ta for now.
