Want to speak English with more confidence? In this video, I’ll show you how to actually learn English with me... Join the Slow English Community here: https://youtube.com/live/hJnYlMsid18?feature=share
You can study vocabulary. You can study grammar. You can watch English videos every day.
But at some point… you have to SPEAK.
That’s why I created the Slow English Community — a place where English learners from all around the world can practice speaking English together in small, relaxed conversation clubs without pressure or judgment.
Inside, you can practice real English, meet other learners, improve your listening and speaking, and slowly build the confidence to have real conversations in English.
And for a limited time, the community is OPEN!
Whether you’re a beginner or you’ve been learning English for years, remember: you don’t need perfect English to start speaking.
You become a better English speaker by speaking.
Never stop learning.

After helping more than 400 students go from being afraid of making mistakes,
being beginner English learners, not even speakers, just learners,
to becoming confident English speakers through my English community,
I wanted to finally come on YouTube and show you how they did it, how you guys did it.
I started teaching English about six years ago. When I first started teaching English,
I realized pretty quickly that I wasn't the type of teacher to talk about grammar for an hour.
I realized I was a very patient person and that I really don't mind if I have to repeat myself
five times or if it takes someone a little bit longer to find the right word. I actually love
that part of teaching. I realized I love teaching, but I didn't love teaching grammar.
I loved helping my students to find their voice in English. I wanted my students talking.
So, instead of just opening a textbook and saying, okay, today we're going to learn about
past tense, I would turn whatever lesson we were learning that day into an actual conversation.
That way, learning didn't have to feel like a chore, like something boring or stressful.
Why can't we enjoy learning English? And I never wanted a student to feel afraid
of making a mistake. I wanted my classroom to be a place where you could try.
Because I started realizing that not every student needed an explanation of English.
They needed someone patient enough to let them speak. They needed more time to answer
while they became better at speaking. They needed conversations that were actually
interesting. And I realized it's something that nobody else was doing. Finding a way to offer
an affordable option for people all around the world to start actually speaking English.
So, that's when I knew what I had to create. I created a space where English learners
from all around the world could connect and start speaking English together.
And it all started with having conversation clubs with all of my students in the Slow
English community. I started having conversations every week with around 15 to 25 members in my
community. We would meet once a week and just speak. I got to have fun and spontaneous
conversations with students and my followers from all around the world. It was so much fun
to see you guys grow in a way that didn't feel like studying or even learning. We were just
having conversations the way that I've always taught English in real life and in my videos.
After a little while, it was starting to get difficult for me to teach all of my classes,
all of the conversation clubs. So, then my dad started helping me. He has been an English teacher
for a very long time, more than 15 years. And all he did was have engaging, spontaneous,
and fun conversations with the community from topics like languages and accents to colors
and smells to deeper conversations about love and intelligence. There is no limit of speaking
topics in the Slow English community. And I remember the first members loved it. They loved
it because there was no pressure to speak. There was absolutely no judgment. And they got to have
fun talking about interesting topics every single day alongside other English learners
from all around the world. And when I say all around the world, I mean it. From Mexico to
Cambodia, Argentina to Germany, Saudi Arabia to Brazil, the Dominican Republic to Sweden.
I mean it everywhere. I'm truly amazed and so proud of this community that we've built together.
And the best news you'll hear today is that by the time I post this video, the community
will be open. But not for long. The community will close again in seven days, and it won't
be opening again for a while. And I do this so that I can control the influx of students and so
that I have the chance to meet all of the new members who join. And I love this time of the year
when I get to meet all of the English learners that learn with me every single day. So if you're
ready to start working towards your dreams of speaking English, then this is the time. So don't
wait any longer to be the person that you wish to be. To be the version of yourself that doesn't just
talk about their dreams, but the person who actually accomplishes them. I can't wait to
see you guys inside. And remember, never stop learning. Bye!
