Hi, I just listened to two of your videos, one in English and one in Spanish.I am a bit surprised at some of the criticism, as they seem to have unrealistically high standards. I have lived in Spain for three years, and in all that time I have only met one single person whose English was better than yours. It has a natural flow, very few and minor mistakes, and the pronunciation is easy to understand.

Well done.

We all make mistakes. Unless we claim native fluency, that is something to be expected.

Here you have the Spanish version of "Reading aloud and learning languages".

Leer en voz alta para aprender idiomas:

I have this other channel about medicine. It is in Spanish and it might be useful if you are learning Spanish and you like or need those kind of topics:

Your English is very good and properly fluent but you have a clear accent (which is fine). Typical things which come
out in your accent are pronouncing THINK like a Spaniard would (little surprise there) and adding an -e to
structures, although this was a one off rather than a iterative error. Are you learning other languages? I think
Solfrid Cristin sums it up well, although I have met a few people who speak English better =)

Un saludo

Thank you. You are very nice.

I am aware that some of my English videos are very bad. My mistakes are crystal clear. However, I haven't deleted them because they are a useful as a reference and I want to experience this shame feeling.I am very different from the average people here. I am always been very bad learning languages. When I was a child, French was a nightmare for me. Recording a video or podcast in any language is amazing for me.

I am not studying any language right now. I read, listen and sometimes I talk.


Saludos

I like watching your You Tube videos, both your language videos and your medical videos in Spanish and I would incourage to continue this interesting project.

If you speak foreign languages it's normal to make mistakes, also polyglots (myself inclusive) make language mistakes and they receive corrections, which should be helpful and not disrespectful.

If language learning is not your talent, then your talents are on other fields. It's very common that academics of natural sciences (and your subject medicine is one of them) have difficulties with foreign languagues. In that respect you are not an exception.

So please don't get discouraged only because you find out that other people have a better accent when they speak their foreign language.

Even I am not so deep into the methodology of language learning as you are, I watched several of your videos spoken in English and I can understand 100 % of your English.
Your English is far from a native English accent, but it's completely understandable.

So what's wrong with it? - Nothing!

Don't overfocus on your own language mistakes. We all make language mistakes because it's part of the learning process of language learning.

Happy new year and good luck with both of your You Tube channels!!!

Kind reagrds,

Fasulye
