Improve English Speaking Skills (Questions about learning English) English Conversation Practice

hello everyone welcome to tangerin  TV we have a special program

today that's correct hello  everyone I am not a teacher by the

way that's right Morris is a student an  advanced level English student we will be  

asking some important questions  about learning English let's

go are there any English idioms or  Expressions that you find interesting or

confusing English idioms or phrases wow a lot  of them in fact that is a difficult thing to  

learn I remember remember the first time I  knew about idioms in English it blew my mind

seriously because there's a wide  variety of them and you never stop

learning so they are difficult to learn  but also very interesting you should do

that I mean learn idioms by the way Tangerine  Academy has great videos with Advanced

vocabulary thank you so much how do you stay  motivated and persistent in your English learning

Journey well here I have to say something very  important it is impossible to stay motivated all  

the time but when I don't feel like studying  English but I have to do it I think about my  

future why did I start learning English then I  remember that if I keep studying I can achieve my

goals but in my opinion discipline is  more important than motivation remember  

that excellent what are some resources  or tools you use to enhance your English

skills websites applications games or  those kind of tools you use to learn

English well I don't use many tools I watch a  lot of videos and listen to podcast in English  

I use Google translator a lot all the time  every time I see a new word I want to know  

what it means websites yeah maybe to test  my English I love taking exams or do some  

Test in English applications I've tried  some but I didn't like them so I don't use

them all right have you had any memorable  experiences while practicing English with native

speakers oh yeah but before we  continue about the previous questions

yeah I use a very important tool my cell  phone and a notebook seriously I use my  

cell phone to investigate new words  and phrases in English watch a video

Etc and a notebook because I like writing  my thoughts in English at the end of the

day and that's all and about  your question what was that

sorry no problem have you ever had any memorable  

experiences while practicing  English with native speakers

oh right yeah a lot one that I remember um sure  

once I traveled to a touristic place  in my country I went there with my

girlfriend there were a lot of tourists there in  fact we were the only ones from our country and  

we had to stay there together for 5 days  it was a lot of time happily they spoke  

English and I was able to communicate  in English too I have to tell you that

moment that moment was one of the best moments  in my life I made friends from different

countries I almost everything  they talked their jokes their

experiences we still keep in touch through  social networks it's fantastic to have friends  

from all over the world interesting how do you  balance grammar and fluency in your English

learning oh grammar it was my nightmare I must

say well I have some grammar guide books  I think that's the best way of learning  

it when I need to learn some grammar  rules I just sit down and focus on that

grammar then I go online to practice  doing test or exercises in English and  

fluency I usually go to these touristic  places to practice my English that's my

secret there I know a lot of people from different  countries so I can practice my English with

them are there any cultural aspects or  custo associated with English that you find

intriguing the way they speak I mean the  words do not sound the same as how they are

written also the idioms there are a lot of  idioms but you asked about the culture they  

are more often I made good friends in fact  it's it's easier to make friends from other

countries than from your native country well  that's what I think what do you think guys all  

right what strategies do you find helpful for  improving your reading and writing skills in

English reading well I read every  time I have the chance to read

everything if I find the book I read it  if I see news in English on the TV then I  

read the prompts if I see a product made in  an English speaking country then I read the

specifications so my advice is read every  time you have the chance the same happens with

writing write whenever you can I have  my notebook there I write everything  

my thoughts my day what I feel everything so  write whenever you can do it interesting are  

there any specific English accents or dialects  that you aspire to understand and better well  

the most common British and American are the  most famous and in my opinion the the easiest  

but English from other countries for example  from Africa or Asia that's very difficult to  

understand I mean you can understand what  they mean but not very clear that's the  

thing all right how has learning English  impacted your personal and professional

life I have to tell you  something English changed my life

completely I met new people made a lot of  friends I was able to know new cultures  

I got a better job of course it changed my  life it was one of the best things I could do
