In less than a year

My name is Anthony! I am American and I speak Russian

Not perfectly but I managed to learn Russian in less than a year

At least I can speak with Russian people

And understand people

If this is your first time on my channel, Welcome!

My goal is to help you learn English and speak English like a native speaker

And in this video, I'll show you 5 tips on how I learned Russian

And how you can also learn English

I believe that it is impossible to speak English fluently and without mistakes in less than a year,

But if you apply my tips you can at least learn to speak English comfortably

And stay until the end of this video because the last tip is the most imprtant

Let's begin

First Advice: Make friends with English speakers

Maybe there are no English speakers in your city

but don't worry! I recommend downloading an app that is called Tandem

or an app called Hellotalk

I use these apps to practice my Russian. And I use them to chat with my friends

by downloading these apps, you can meet native English speakers who are learning Russian,

and then help each other.

I recommend sending audio messages so they can help you with your pronunciation

the second tip is to make video calls or just audio calls with native English speakers.

I speak from experience: when I often make video calls with Russian speakers, I notice that I can speak Russian better.

I know that sometimes it may seem strange to make video calls,

Especially when you don't know this person

But if you do video call as often as possible with native English speakers,

Every day you will speak better English

If you're too shy to do video calls or audio calls you can also just talk with your phone or your pets

Hey Charlotte! How's it going?

She doesn't seem too interested

Tip number 3 learn two thousand of the most common words in English

Research shows that 80% of the words we use daily, make up 20% of all words in the English language

Therefore, I think that one of the best ways to learn English is to just learn the most popular and frequent words

I will include a list of the most common words in the description

Tip number four! now that you have found a list of the most popular words in the English language,

I want you to learn and practice five to ten words every day

if you learn ten new words every day,

then in three hundred and sixty-five days you will learn three thousand six hundred and fifty words.

this is more than enough words to have a simple conversation with someone in English.
