Hello, that's the first time that I have seen your video about culture and language teaching I am studying "LANGUAGE TEACHING" (my mother tongue is Spanish) to teach English in Mexico So, I am doing my thesis, it is about the importance of the anglophone culture in language teaching focusing on productive skills (speaking and writing) To sum up, I would like you help me with information about culture I will be waiting for an answer PS: my email is merymaliknson@gmailcom

Great video Steve!

Always enjoy your thoughtful commentary You help keep me motivated through Romanian
Comment from : @ryanstutes27

100 agree with that textbooks mostly have to much content on specific celebrations and too less of living culture (which is for sure better transmitted to the learner on a podcast/video media)
Comment from : @philipphortnagl2486

This is a great topic, and I particularly like the word "weightlessness" to describe it brI'd be interested to know what you and other viewers think about this point: when you learn a language, do you prefer to look for content in that language which is 'accessible' to your own culture (for example, a Westerner looking for Western-style pop music in, say, Chinese), or would you go further and 'put yourself out there' and consume material that might at first seem inaccessible or just too foreign to fully appreciate (for example Chinese 相声 comedy), in the hope that you'll absorb more of the culture and therefore eventually become more integrated?
Comment from : @jr_8292

One of your videos I liked best Wholly agree with all of your points, and that parable with the butterfly is a beautiful way of describing itbrSowwy fow bad inglish
Comment from : @spacedew

Fantastic video Steve, really insightful I think it's natural to be learning a new language and think to yourself "Wow, the way they go about saying 'this' is pretty silly" We are sceptical by nature But brushing off that criticism and embracing it can do a world of good I often find that it's not always foreign language speakers with the largest vocabulary or who are grammatically correct the most fluent But those who embrace the culture of a language and know how to relate to native speakers
Comment from : @JordYaku

Which one is your best known language? (except english of course which you know throughout and perfect)
Comment from : @alexpianoplayer15

About ten years ago I read Steve's book when I struggled to learn English,and now I am listening to him talking aboutbrthe philosophy of Chuang Tzu (莊子) and my mother tongue is Chinese it's hard to describe the feeling
Comment from : @arakitamamoo

You said that you're switching from Ukrainian to Polish Do you think it will help you to understand Slovak before going to Polyglot Gathering in Bratislava in June? :D
Comment from : @2tz02

wow Steve how many languages do you actually know 😱
Comment from : @sheaferguson1184

I agree with you In my own case, my spanish friends have started to call me "el inglés" (the englishman) ;)

Comment from : @marcsensei7645

AMAZING ADVICE
Comment from : @LinguistAmbie

What makes you choose a new language to learn?
Comment from : @gabrielvieira9832

I get annoyed when beginning level textbooks waste precious space talking about advanced cultural topics like opera that aren't really necessary to interact with people They should have a separate book to discuss stuff like that I think a lot of language teachers happen to like that stuff so that's why they teach it I'd prefer to learn about higher culture in the language I'm studying
Comment from : @nendoakuma7451

Hi,Stevei'm your subscriber n I like your videos very much!but I wanna ask you to give explanations to some words ,which are used not so often ,because it becomes difficult to figure out what do they meanthanks in advance

Comment from : @ابوسبأمحمدالحميري

I like your style in speaking brI'm a Arabian guy brI spent a lot of time in english but , there are many weakness still there
Comment from : @ابوسبأمحمدالحميري

Ah, I can't wait for you to start learning Arabic That will be very interesting I'm surprised you can wait for so long, since it seems to me that you have wanted to start learning it for some time Anyway, good luck with the Slavic languages
Comment from : @arvidfalk5719

Living in France has really allowed me to not only improve my speaking and comprehension skills, but becoming a part of the culture and way of life gives you so much more!
