english speaker i became fluent in english by  watching youtube videos and practicing by myself  

and i always get comments like i can understand  you but i cannot talk like you so today i'm gonna  

explain you why you can understand english  but cannot talk fluently or cannot express  

yourself very well and i'm gonna also explain  how you can fix that so let's get started

hi guys it's me today for those who are new here i  can speak four languages japanese turkish english  

in german and unlike the comments section  i'm not saying this to brag or flex about my  

language skills or something like that i'm not a  language genius when i was learning german i was  

crying every single day like how can i be your  language genius i'm just telling this to show  

that i literally went from the same path that  you guys are currently following and i want to  

share my experiences and like literally there are  people who can speak more than 20 languages like  

how why why why am i gonna flex with like  four languages if i would flex i would like  

flex around like 10 plus languages so anyways  we all learn english in school but even though  

if you can't understand english most of us cannot  really talk fluently even in public schools most  

of the people from like different countries  get english education for years and years  

but we can't talk fluently don't you think there  is like a huge problem at the beginning of my  

english journey i was able to understand english  when the conversation is very simple but i wasn't  

really able to express myself and you know talk  fluently the first problem that we have in our  

english or language education system is that the  education itself is input based so there's so  

many researches proving that input based learning  is not really effective we should focus more on  

output-based learning but before talking about  those and discussing about those let's firstly  

learn about what input learning is so when we  compare the input based learning and output based  

learning we can compare two different types of  learning styles input based learning styles can be  

listening and reading and output-based learning  will be talking and writing in most of the  

language schools learning is input based we always  do like readings and like listenings but we don't  

do enough of talking and writing in my opinion in  one of my all-time favorite books from a japanese  

writer slash psychiatrist kawasabashiong the  book called imputed eyes and and so basically  

input encyclopedia and output enclopedia he  has like two different books i would highly  

recommend them but they're in japanese anyways he  says that the golden ratio for input and output  

is three to seven but most of us do the  opposite so we do like seven input and  

three output but we should do three input and  seven output because no matter how much you  

do the input the important thing is output if  you don't output the things that you learned  

you actually don't learn them there's so many  researchers proving that and i'll probably put  

like link in the down description below if you  guys have ever watched my videos you probably  

heard me talking about active recall which  is the most effective way to learn something  

is for example is an output based learning method  so in active recall you basically ask yourself  

some questions and you answer those so you're  actively trying to find dancer so it's basically  

an output-based learning style so now let's talk  about how you can do more output-based learning  

than input-based learning the thing that i was  doing when i was learning english by myself  

is that i quickly realized that i was doing  too much input-based learning if you don't know  

i learned english by watching multiple hours of  youtube videos in english quickly i realized that  

i was doing too much input because all the  time i was listening youtubers talking but  

i wasn't really practicing by myself and i had  no one to practice with me so the thing that i  

did is that after watching every single video i  was summarizing them in my own words and i was  

explaining it to an imaginary friend i know it  sounds creepy i know that but it worked for me but  

they're better options i promise the reason this  method worked is that you're actively trying to  

express it in your own words and also you're  checking if you understood that video even if you  

didn't understand the video you can still use the  vocabularies that you learned from that video in  

order to explain that video that really helps by  memorizing new words and using them in sentences  

and also it really makes you productive at  the same time as well but the problem with  

this method is that because you're talking to  your imaginary friend like i did in the past  

there is no one to correct your grammar  and vocabulary mistakes and like you know  

pronunciation mistakes so for example for me  when it comes to my english i still do grammar  

mistakes and i still do pronunciation mistakes if  you watch my previous videos you probably notice  

that i always pronounce the word pronunciation  as pronunciation and also the word foreigner as  

foreigner and you know these like little mistakes  but i was doing them pretty often and i realized  

them in comment section you actually really  need a feedback to learn something because i  

think it's kind of impossible to pronounce every  single word correctly from self-study it's hard  

i'm not saying that it's impossible but it's like  very very hard so always having someone to give  

feedback is probably the fastest way to learn any  language and the best feedback that you can get  

is from native speakers but where can you find  native speakers and the answer is busu busu is  

an online language learning platform and there  you can talk to native speakers and you can get  

feedback immediately the important thing is i get  a lot of comments like i learn english by watching  

your videos don't learn english by watching my  videos because i'm still learning english and i'm  

making primary mistakes vocabulary mistakes and a  bunch of mistakes and if you learn english from me  

you'll probably make the exactly the same mistakes  like i do therefore you need to talk to native  

speakers and in busu you can find real native  speakers and they will correct your grammar your  

calorie your pronunciation and they will provide  you a feedback to improve your language skills  

and also another feature that busu has is that  vocabulary and grammar review i think it's really  

important to check your grammar and check your  vocabularies because more you do the mistakes more  

you repeat the mistakes the more you are likely  to repeat them in the future as well and when  

it becomes a habit of yours when it becomes like  some sort of pronunciation is a habit of yours or  

accent of yours it's really really hard to change  like it took me months to change the pronunciation  

of i i'm still pronouncing it in a wrong way  like pronunciation is actually pronunciation  

but i just learned it in like a wrong way and  i cannot change it so in order to change it  

the important thing is learning it from the  beginning in a correct way you use busu to  

check your grammar and vocabulary i totally  totally recommend it to you guys the other great  

thing about busu is that they will create you  a personalized study plan with the personalized  

study plan you know exactly when to do what and  i think it really helps because it's hard to be  

consistent when learning any sort of language or  doing any sort of thing all you need to do is to  

collect musu and do the exercise or any activity  that they give you in that day you can use busu  

for free and you can buy the premium version for  additional features i will put some links down  

in the description below so that you can download  busu for your pc for your phone etc and thank you  

busu for sponsoring this video so in dr kabasawa's  book he recommends a very unique way to do an  

output and it is opening an instagram account just  for your output and basically after you watch read  

or hear anything from your target language you  basically take a picture of it and you post it on  

instagram and you write something about it so you  are doing output and if you make them an aesthetic  

way you can probably make money as well of course  the main focus is not making money but it can make  

money while you're outputting so this channel  for example is actually a great tool for me  

to do some outputs because i'm actively trying to  talk in english and i'm actively trying to express  

myself in english and it really encourages me to  learn english more and hear english more because i  

read in english i talk in english i think in  english and if you watch my previous videos  

you probably noticed that my english got much  more better in my opinion and it's much easier  

for me to express myself in english it i  used to like spend hours to film a video  

and now i'm just like casually sitting here and  talking to you guys so i highly highly recommend  

opening maybe a youtube channel maybe an instagram  account opening a youtube channel is pretty hard  

because it takes ages to edit but if you open an  instagram account and just like randomly paused  

it doesn't take that much time and i think it's  just like a great experience to do you can like  

see what you consumed through the time while like  scrolling and i think it's just like a great idea  

so i recommend so the second problem that we  have is that the lack of courage so if you're  

not fluent in english or in any sort of language  you may be scared about the possibility that  

others can make fun of you and unlike other  youtube videos i'm not gonna tell that it's  

nobody's gonna make fun of you it's totally okay  everybody makes mistakes and those things because  

the reality is yes people actually will make fun  of you for example on this channel people make fun  

of me as well i get like every single day comments  like you pronounce this world blah blah wrong you  

said this blah blah wrong it's not like that how  can you say that you're a polyglot blah blah blah  

and also the people will like make fun of  your accent they will tell that it's so bad  

they cannot listen it it's so annoying and all  that stuff people will tell you actually i'm sorry  

but that's the reality and most of the time people  that make fun of your accent can only talk like  

in one language and they're still making fun of  other people i just like don't get it like why why  

any language journal probably know that non-native  speakers can make mistakes while talking their  

non-native language because it's not their native  language but monolingual people i don't know why  

will make fun of you but the important thing is  that what you think about yourself if you love  

your accent and if you think that you can improve  it or if you accept it in that way it's totally  

fine it don't care about what others says it's  easier said than done i know that but by the time  

more you put effort into your language skills  you will be more confident and you'll start to  

not care about them because at the end of the  day they can like speak only one language or  

so and why would you even care about them also  it's not your mother tongue of course you're  

gonna make mistakes and that's totally okay  there is no need to be perfectionist at all  

more you become a perfectionist more it takes  you to actually take the action and do something  

where not perfect rule will never be perfect  so never ever be a perfectionist and the third  

factor is that the fun factor if you're learning a  language if you are a perfectionist and if you're  

trying to talk that language perfectly you'll  probably forget to have fun while learning that  

language when i was learning english i was pretty  hyped up because i was trying to understand james  

charles and that was the only reason why i was  learning english and more and more i started to  

understand his very fast english and i was really  happy about it and at that time i was obsessed  

with makeup tutorials and the whole beauty  community and by the time you start to understand  

more you start to get more comfortable in that  language and it's like a really good experience  

it just gives you a joy maybe you're doing it  for like academical purpose and you're thinking  

that oh i don't need to have fun but when we have  fun it's much easier for us to motivate ourselves  

and do something so don't forget to have fun and  enjoy the process because once you become better  

and better you will remember these days and laugh  about them as i do as i said when i was learning  

german i literally was crying in our prep year  in high school because it was so hard for me to  

learn german but i really loved german language  german culture and i i it was just like a very  

now when i look back in those days they're  just like a very good memory so i would i would  

totally recommend you to not forget fun factor  and have fun actually so yeah that was it for
