Recalling irregular verbs from lists is an unnatural method that often fails to develop natural spoken fluency.

“And recalling irregular verbs or past participles from a list is a really unnatural way of doing it and therefore doesn't convert to natural spoken fluency.”

The host believes that learning through natural immersion, culture, and context is the most effective way to understand British English.

“Now, I did make sure to integrate some useful pieces of vocabulary in natural places while showing you what the UK is actually like because I think that's the best way of doing it.”

Learning a new language is most effective when it occurs early in life and involves immersive social interaction.

“natives don't really know grammar or grammar rules as it were so I want to teach English in the way that natives learn English so in a more relaxed kind of acquiring of language rather than having to study rules”

“This is stuff that chat GBC can't teach you because chat GBC isn't a native British speaker. So, he doesn't know when we say he doesn't know the difference between all right and you're right. He doesn't know when we say cheers and why we say cheers.”
