How to speak English fast and understand natives (Part III)

Today, we're going to talk about how to speak English fast and understand native speakers.

Native English speakers speak in a way that's easy for them and if you want to sound like an American person, you need to relax because Americans like to omit words, they like to connect sounds, etc. Below is the list of other two videos dedicated to this topic:

(1) CUT OFF WORDS. This is something native English speakers often do. It’s casual and not too professional. But it’s conversational and natural-sounding English.
Example: "good talking to you" instead of "it was good talking to you"

(2) SHORTEN WORDS. The most common examples are congrats (congratulations), thanks (thank you), totes (totally)

(3) UNDERSTAND HINTS. “It’s so cold!” This can mean it’s really just cold. But it can also be trying to hint at closing the window or turning the air conditioning off.

(4) DETECT SARCASM. Native English speakers will know how to inject sarcasm in their words and sentences. “Oh yeah, it’s so cold” could actually mean that it is hot outside!

(5) CONNECT SOUNDS. In the first video dedicated to this topic, we were talking about how hard it is to know when one word stops and another one starts because native speakers connect them together. For example, you will hear English speakers saying "Coudjou help me?" instead of "Could you help me?"

(6) "YEAH" INSTEAD OF "YES". You can hear people saying "yeah" all the time and you can use it too. But remember, appropriate use is also key. If you are in a formal set up or scenario, then stick to your professional English.

(7) "NO PROB" INSTEAD OF "NO PROBLEM". This is an example of a shortened phrase. "No prob" is short for "no problem". And native English speakers are big in using this.

now, I understand the differences between teaching and sharing.

You're now my virtual English teacher! I've learned so much how to improve my English pronunciation.

* we would not really say, "I'm a fan of baseball" .. the more common / conversationally used variation would be "I'm a baseball fan" :) We tend to try not to say "of" as much as possible to shorten sentences. It would be perfectly ok to write "I am a baseball fan" in a school assignment as well, so it's not grammatically incorrect

3 rules to learn English..
Observation.
Listen.
Speak...

It's interesting to hear these as a native English speaker. We absolutely do love contractions! We will find any way to drop extra words we don't need to use. I work with students to teach English as a foreign language; I tell them that to sound like a native, you don't need to speak properly. Unless you are writing an academic paper, most American English speakers use improper English. If they do speak properly, they speak way better than us natives.

English was never been, this easy with this wonderful English teacher.

ok but these videos are actually super cool to watch as a native english speaker… it’s really interesting to see how English looks from the outside. Like, all of this stuff came so naturally to me because I grew up surrounded by people speaking English, but for people who grew up speaking a different language, there’s so much effort that goes into learning the different parts of English. Definitely have a lot of respect for all of you!

Guys who are learning English, never give up because you're about to be so proud of yourself in the future yet. I've been learning English myself for nearly 2 years, and I've managed to improve every important aspects, from listening to speaking only because of these kinds of lessons on YouTube. Now, thankfully, I'm quite confident to run my own English channel here, which is a little bit hard though but I like it
BTW very helpful lesson, thanks. ❤️

In 5 months after learning from this channel my English skills have really improved.... thank you

‘Totes’ and ‘no prob’ are like ‘lol’ via texting, it’s only written casually and not actually said out loud. Saying ‘totally’ and ‘no problem’ is totally not a problem.

[jacobjismon]

the uniqueness about her is that she isn't urging us to subscribe to the channel instead she is urging us to buy her workbook
