I’ve taught thousands of students from all over the world and I want to share 3 simple things that I’ve noticed hold many language learners back from achieving their goals. I’m going to talk about the general ideas of hard work, perfectionism, and “have to”. We’ll explore how each of these can block our learning. I’ll also give my opinion on accent and whether you should try to get rid of yours or not. In the comments, please answer my question and tell me “what if” you could speak English at the level you want: What would your life be like?

James, thank you so much for this encourage lesson! The landscape is amazing! I’m glad that you’ve mentioned perfectionism because it’s a really disappointing factor of learning a language.
Homework:
If I could speak English fluently I would quit my boring and meaningless job and find a better one with flexible schedule and without necessity to go to the office every day.
If I could speak English fluently I would be more self-confident during my holidays abroad and check-in and check-out in the hotels, book the tickets, order the meal in the restaurants, and ask the direction, exchange money at the bank, rent a car and so on without any troubles.

I rarely share YouTube videos on my social media unless they inspire me and others. This is one of my postings. His advice can be applied in our daily life, not just in learning English. Thank you, James.

My name is Abdikani . really your lesson is very interesting because it is pointed the things that helps when you decided to learn a new language .
Home work
if your English speaking is poor . yourself feel less confident and you are not feel happy.
but when your speaking is fluent you feel comfortable on your friends area and other places where the language is important.

Thanks, James. Not only for your lesson. You´re right – the possibily and the access to education is really privilege. In our country everyone has opportunity to study and not everybody is able to appreciate it. Education can raise one´s life chance, broaden one´s mind and strenghten one´s self-confidence. If I mastered English at the level I want I would feel better, more confident and competent. And this isn´t a small thing!
