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. |

Thank you Fasulye for your comments. I am sorry I didn't answer a few days ago, but I
am on vacation and it is difficult to get Internet.
I am not worried about my lack of language skills or pronuntiation, because I don't
live abroad. If I was living in other country, I would work harder on pronuntiation and
other language skills.
As long as people understand me, I am fine. I am more interested about passive skills.

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! |

Thank you. You are very nice. There is nothing wrong.
My methodology is mainly extensive reading and listening and Anki (sentences). I have
learned the other techniques mainly from here and I find useful to use them from time
to time. For example, reading aloud, shadowing, chorusing and so on.

it's part of the learning process of language learning.
Happy new year and good luck with both of your You Tube channels!!!

It's good to see people raising awareness about learning languages on their own,
particularly in languages other than English.
