About How to speak English better than 99% of non-native speakers (in 6 months)

B2 Version (Clear and Corrected)

Hi,

Today, I want to talk about a video I watched on YouTube. It was made by someone named Maria, who is probably an English teacher. She’s not a native speaker, and she talked about some challenges that English learners face.

She discussed the issue of learners studying English for many years without making much progress. According to her, the main reason for this is that English learning is often done in a traditional way, treating the language like a science. This means learners focus a lot on theory, grammar rules, and drills but spend less time actually practicing. As a result, they don’t develop real conversation skills.

Her advice was really useful. One of the key points she made was to "cut out the noise." This means stopping the habit of watching endless YouTube or TikTok videos about how to learn English and instead spending that time on real practice or effective exercises.

I think this advice makes sense, but at the same time, I feel like her video wasn’t completely genuine. She probably also wanted to promote her own program and encourage people to buy her product, as well as grow her YouTube channel. But in the end, that’s fine—I can still take her advice and apply it.

Hey,

Today, I want to talk about a YouTube video I watched. It was made by someone named Maria, who’s probably an English teacher. She’s not a native speaker, and she was discussing some common challenges English learners face.

One of the main issues she mentioned is that many learners study English for years but don’t see much progress. According to her, the biggest reason for this is the traditional way of learning, which treats English like a science. In other words, most learners spend too much time on grammar rules and drills and not enough time actually using the language in real conversations.

She gave some really useful advice, and one point that stood out was the idea of "cutting out the noise." Basically, she suggests that people stop watching endless YouTube and TikTok videos about how to learn English and instead use that time for actual practice or effective exercises.

It sounds like solid advice, and I do agree with her. But at the same time, I felt like her video wasn’t entirely genuine—she was probably also trying to promote her own program and attract more people to her YouTube channel. Still, that’s fine. I can take the advice that makes sense and apply it in my own way.
