The key MINDSET of C1/C2 English learners || How to reach an advanced level of English fluency

Thanks for the effort but this is a misleading title

Thanks this is really Usefull

Thank you for sharign with us your knowledge. Indeed, learning english is a journey, I'm in that for so 2 years and I feel that have so much to learn. And the worts thing as you learn more is that it's dificult to see your progress, feels like you are at the same level for a long.

Thanks! I was getting tired but after this I gained my patience back.

I am currently advancing towards the C1 proficiency level in English and I am seeking a conversation partner for joint practice. Ideally, you should possess at least a B2 certificate or a certificate on a higher level. When interested pls comment below.

In best regards Sebastian

A quite interesting title to summarize all these 3 highly essential features in the learning process. Awesome!

I've got my C1 papers 10 years ago back in highschool, back then my speaking skills were quite abysmal, everything else was alright. I'd love to get the C2 certification for nothing else but self fulfillment, but after so much time being removed from the formal English education I'm affraid my grammar won't be up to snap. I were thinking about just going to the US for couple months, living there, talking with people, then buy some prep book, go through it, and then I could possibly pass the C2 exams, dunno... I've shifted over to learning Japanese as my hobby after I was happy with my English.

Hello Ben, thank you for sharing your observations :)

Helo Ben thank you very much!! That's very nice acronym, that's why I decided to write this comment (hahaha), however thank you I'm going to implement this mindset! :D

Hello Mr
My name is Ibrahim from Sudan and this frist video I have seen on your Channel. I have made massive improvement and learned English. And I use the language comfortably. But I lost that passion " PIP " in order to practice and level up. But after I watched this video I will try to more PIP learner.
Thanks ❤

But Ben, not all the students can be linguists xD. Thank you very much for your videos.

I didn't hear any advice how to reach advanced English level, only how to be good student. I'm learn English at home, and I'm not student..

Dear Ben, what you mention at the very end of the video (the loss of motivation because the learning curve is tapering off) is exactly what is happening to me right now, and I am slightly panicking about it, given that my exam date is getting close. Sometimes you just need to be reminded that progress is still going on even if you are experiencing "bad days" where it feels like you are not learning much. I find it funny because I am usually the one who gives others this kind of advice, to trust the process. Thank you for making these extremely helpful and reassuring videos for students who, like myself, are at a loss and just need a little push.

Hello from Belo Horizonte! As you were explaing, I was thinking of myself learning. Beleving it or not, I tend to be shy and I feel more confortable observing, taking notes and than, I research about it. And I had a good discovery that I could consider myself patient, because I can not imerse in learning and forget life itself, you know?! 😊😊😊

I suggest adding R to your acronym. R stands for Repetition, you don't learn anything by doing it once, you must use it frequently for it to stick. PRIP ftw!

Amazing video

Hello Ben ! I’m French and I’ve been studying English by myself with the same kind of videos as you do and other materials like podcasts, grammar books and so on. I must say that your channel is very agreeable to follow and informative with lots of stuffs to grab and learn. Above all, thanks for your perfect accent and pronunciation, as an English learner, it’s just delightful to listen to the English sound by a native speaker 👌. Keep on doing the same good job 👏 ! Cheers

I constantly read things (specially in games) and everytime I see a new word I ask someone whose first language is English... Yesterday for example at 11p.m I found a new word abide and then I asked a friend for the meaning, and a new word in my vocabulary

Thank you Ben for great channel!
I'm just following to your advice and I'm getting proactive :)

Pip, like the name of the main character in Charles Dicken's Great Expectations
🙃

Thank you for your practical advice! How about: Passion - Purposefulness - Perseverance - Patience (PPPP)?

tanks Ben for your acronym,i don't think be proactive; so i will do my goal of this to be fluency ......

I have started to follow your channel some weeks ago and I would like to say it's amazing!

I've always wanted to attain the PIMP mindset

Ben, you are completely right about the last P:Patience. It takes a lot of time to learn another language when you are an adult. I never thought it would be so long but some time ago I discovered that it takes a lot of time and dedication to be fluent in the language you have chosen to study... But keep in mind the best part of the trip is the trip in itself.. Not the arrival🚩 Greetings from Spain

Thank you Ben for your priceless advice

Thanks👍 May I suggest one more "P"? 😊 Persistent

Please give tips for reading in oet

Hi Ben, yesterday I received my results from CAE and succesfully passed on higher grade b and although I did not started watching Your videos until a month before the exam, I feel they helped me a lot. So I want to say I am very grateful for your tips and advices. Take care and continue with what You are doing as your work as english teacher is undobtedly excellent:)

Good attitude! I always think about English words and puns! My recent thought is the netflix series "how to get away with murder", I had studied this expression last year when I was preparing b2 exam and it got in my mind not so easily, then eventually I've found out that in Italy it's translated as "the rules of the perfect murder" and it doesn't have the same meaning. I try to learn and to remember English phrasal verbs and original expressions and it is a time consuming process, thank you Ben for sharing these videos

i appreciate you so much.

Hello Ben. Thanks for the video. PIP makes sense to me. I would definitely add "curious". But I admit that in a way we could say that it is already integrated in "inquisitive". When you are curious or even passionate about a topic, it will help you go further and maybe will even make you go the extra mile.
Cheers Daniel

Thank you Ben for your priceless advice how to learn English successfully. I'm patient and proactive, but when it comes to inquisitiveness I definitely should ask more questions to my teachers. You are absolutely right! The good thing is I do like the process of learning. I know it's a marathon not a sprint. It's a kind of never ending story.

Crucial words. If to be honest, your videos are a silver bullet for me cause sometimes I'm lack of motivation. You are a great man. Thanks, Ben! And greetings from Ukraine.

Ben, thank you for the videos very much! I've been teaching English for more than twenty years and you sum up and confirm my ideas come from my experience and background. I appreciate it so mych!

Thanks a ton fro your great job! I really appreciate that you highlighted patience as the most significant trait in our journey. Due to the lack of the patience I really feel a bit down in the dumps perpetually, but your videos help me to soldier on)

Thank you, Ben! This was a really helpful one. I have a suggestion though. Would you consider making a short format of this? Please don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to be mean or anything just some thought…

Wow!!!! Amazing, interesting video👏👍and I too have an acronym to define your intelligent suggestions :PIP=Precious, Inspiring, Priceless😅😅😍

Sometimes Im shy big time and I shy away from certain situations because I'm surrounded by Spanish people and that cramp my style😪😪. Thanks for your videos as always.

Such an amazing talk! Really enjoyed this. Thank you!

However is so, so, so unconfortable! Every time I have to approach somebody, for me sounds so embarasing, due to the mixed of American and British English vocabulary. 🙄🤦🤦🤦🙄
