Gerund

Thank to all your guys is support and love for what we're doing for helping us to really bring it more fun ways.

To-infinitive

Thio motivate learners all around the world so they get out of the costume to go beyond classroom and actually make English part of their life.

All right, And maybe today's lesson is going to be a little bit more difficult because there's no subtitles.

We almost always have subtitles on the video, and today you don't.

I'll try to speak at like teacher speed, and hopefully you'll understand, at least like 60 toe 90% of what I'm saying.

All right, so good for you for putting in the hard work.

And if you're new here, as always, please remember to subscribe because every single week we help the learns like you understand fast speaking NATO's without getting lost without missing the jokes and without the subtitles.

So just hit that subscribe on and little bell down below, so you don't miss any of our new lessons.

And in case you just jumped into this and you're not sure what exactly we're doing today in this YouTube live.

So I actually asked you guys on our YouTube community for some questions for things that are difficult too confusing for you in English, and I actually chose the ones that were the most popular.

So they got the most likes and the ones that I just thought in general were the best that might be the most useful for the most people.

And so I want to keep this just 15 20 minutes so that people who don't have a lot of time we'll still be able to get some value out of this.

So I'll try to go through as many of those questions as possible on drily, thanks to all of you that actually spent the time to think of great questions and to write to me, all right, and I'll be sure to mention who the original question came from.

But I'm sure that many of you will have the same question.

All right, so without further ado, let's just jump into the 1st 1 all right?

I don't talk too much about myself, but my name's Ethan, and I'm actually one of the co founders of real life English.

And really learning for TV series is actually a part of real life English.

We started about seven years ago in Boaters on to Brazil, and it was me and my business partner, Justin, who is actually in the live chat right now so he can say hi to you all.

But we were teaching English in Brazil, and we met there and actually just in with some other with some other Americans Australians that were living there in Belarus.

Entre Brazil was organizing some English events, and I started going to them, and I just saw Wow, this is such a great way to help people to learn English because we would get together in a fund space and do some different activities.

And Brazilians whose first language is Portuguese would actually get t speak in English during these events, and it wasn't a fun setting.

So we saw that people would really change what they thought about the language because they're actually putting it to use.

And maybe you've had some sort of experience like this where you've gotten to go somewhere and maybe speak with other people who are learning English or speak with natives.

And you're just like, Wow, this is actually like a tool for communication.

It's so much different than what you learned in the English classroom, right?

So basically, from that, uh, we started at the company real life English and we started just doing a blogged and kind of giving advice to learners.

They're in Brazil and it started growing all over the world with the community.

And a few years later, we're way actually started experimenting with teaching with a few beers, TV series, friends.

We were already doing this in our classes.

We saw that learns to get a lot of value out of it because they saw, you know, that it wasn't just rammer rules.

It wasn't just vocabulary, but this was actually the living and breathing language that the natives that people in United States or in the country that that Syria's comes from.

That's a real language, and that really would help them to learn so much more about the language as it's really spoken, they could remember it better.

And so we actually developed a course called Fluent With Friends to teach with this to actually take the TV series Friends, which we met so many people who had really beautiful, fluent English.

We asked them, How did you get such good English?

And they would say, You know, I I, uh, really just love the language.

I like TV series and watched all of friends, and we heard that so many times, like there's something to this and we actually looked into it.

And there was a lot of scientific data showing the Friends is probably the best TV series out there for learning English just because of the language that's used in a the situation of getting together in New York City.

We saw learners from all over the world and benefit out of it and basically is an experiment.

We decided to take the format that we have for the course and bring it onto YouTube.

We did one video, then we did a couple more and they just started taking off, meaning that a lot of people started watching them and commenting and saying how great it was.

And, baby, that's a history we did that, I believe two years ago.

Maybe we're coming up on three years and now the last year or so the last year and 1/2 I actually took over actually hosting the videos, and we have to video editors That helped me a lot.

They helped to actually bring all of the all of the different content together and to make it into what you see.

But it's been two years that I've actually been doing the videos and the voice and everything, and basically, since then we've gone from being just 20,000.

I know some of you told me that you've been here from the very start to being the one million last week.

So again, thanks so much for all of your love and support.

This is, like, really huge that in just two years we would never have expected to be able to make such a huge impact here.

All right, so, Julianne, thanks so much for your question again, and I'll move on to this 12 maybe some more technical questions.

But that's a little bit about the story of real life English and Learnings with TV series.

Is watching your lessons and TV series and movies enough to make me fluent?

Am I going to be able to speak like them like people in the TV series fluently?

Oh, this is, by the way, this is from Ahmed.

So no matter how many videos, whichever channel that you're watching, just watching videos, just studying books, just going to classes that's not going to make influence.

You can watch hours and hours and hours of videos here on YouTube.

You can study grammar books for hours and hours and hours.

I kind of like, get more into this answer.

A lot of Lerner's here English fluency, and they think that means speaking perfect like a native.

So first of all, natives don't speak perfectly.

And really, being perfect isn't really the goal, because mistakes are just so important.

If you want to keep improving, you have to make mistakes, and you have to learn from those mistakes.

And by doing that, that's how you're going to actually advance and get in your fluency.

Actually, so it's not speaking perfectly.

So it's when you get to the point where you can have a conversation with someone and you know you're able to.

Sometimes you don't know the right way to conjugated verb er, to say something dramatically, but you're able to communicate in a very smooth, fluid way.

If you don't know how to say something, you can explain it in a different way.
