05:01
we had to stay there together for 5 days  it was a lot of time happily they spoke  
32
301040
6840
05:07
English and I was able to communicate  in English too I have to tell you that

from all over the world interesting how do you  balance grammar and fluency in your English
37
344080
10240
05:54
learning oh grammar it was my nightmare I must
38
354320
8800
06:03
say well I have some grammar guide books  I think that's the best way of learning  
39
363120
11680
06:14
it when I need to learn some grammar  rules I just sit down and focus on that
40
374800
8080
06:22
grammar then I go online to practice  doing test or exercises in English and  
41
382880
10960
06:33
fluency I usually go to these touristic  places to practice my English that's my
42
393840
8560
06:42
secret there I know a lot of people from different  countries so I can practice my English with
43
402400
10800
06:53
them are there any cultural aspects or  custo associated with English that you find
44
413200
9480
07:02
intriguing the way they speak I mean the  words do not sound the same as how they are
45
422680
10080
07:12
written also the idioms there are a lot of  idioms but you asked about the culture they  
46
432760
12720
07:25
are more often I made good friends in fact  it's it's easier to make friends from other
47
445480
6520
07:32
countries than from your native country well  that's what I think what do you think guys all  
48
452000
13000
07:45
right what strategies do you find helpful for  improving your reading and writing skills in
49
465000
6280
07:51
English reading well I read every  time I have the chance to read
50
471280
8160
08:00
everything if I find the book I read it  if I see news in English on the TV then I  
51
480480
10880
08:11
read the prompts if I see a product made in  an English speaking country then I read the
52
491360
7640
08:19
specifications so my advice is read every  time you have the chance the same happens with
53
499000
11040
08:30
writing write whenever you can I have  my notebook there I write everything  
54
510040
10000
08:40
my thoughts my day what I feel everything so  write whenever you can do it interesting are  
55
520040
14160
08:54
there any specific English accents or dialects  that you aspire to understand and better well  
56
534200
9040
09:03
the most common British and American are the  most famous and in my opinion the the easiest  
57
543240
8840
09:12
but English from other countries for example  from Africa or Asia that's very difficult to  
58
552080
7200
09:19
understand I mean you can understand what  they mean but not very clear that's the  
59
559280
8440
09:27
thing all right how has learning English  impacted your personal and professional
