A short video/transcript snippet featuring Hadar Shemesh listing common pieces of bad advice about learning English (e.g., needing a native-speaking partner, learning English while sleeping, rigid rules about age or pronunciation). The speaker critiques myths and incorrect recommendations learners hear.
What is one piece of really bad advice that you have received? You need an English speaking native girlfriend. Stop saying very Americans speak incorrect English. Speak British English instead. Study grammar and then speak. One of my professors at the university told me that English was not for everyone. Learn English quickly while you sleep. If you aren't young anymore, English isn't for you. Don't study grammar rules. Pronounce English as it's written or actually pronounce English as it's.
