Hi Liz, I’m italian and I had been living in the UK for a year and half some years ago before I came back to Italy. The reason why a vast majority of outlanders or foreigners don’t understand English very well when native speakers talk is due to the fact that many of us don’t catch certain idioms or slangs. Moreover of course, Brits have a different tonality, many words are not pronounced loud enough when they talk to us and mincing words could be an additional factor with it, though. In addition, connected speech is the real key or secret if you want to catch what native speakers say

''Listen to topics you enjoy'' That is the way I finally really have learned the English language. It is so important to get that idea !!!

This video gave me a lot of courage to keep learning English, and the tip 8 is the most important advice I should keep in mind. I didn't know you are also a foreign language learner. That's why you really understand us and always give exact advices we need. Thank you!

[zheoncheung]

Thanks to your valuable and practical lessons, I am now able to keep my English advanced on my own. It was a pleasure to learn from you. Your lessons are something I look forward to seeing over and over again. 😄😄😄

[rosemaryaraujo]

❤ These classes are wonderful for me. When I listen a native explain it sounds more natural than one book, No doubs is better. Thanks for all Lisa.

[flaviooliveira]

This lesson was literally straight to the point, in my case and in so many others, I can understand everything in this video, but when I watch a movie in English without subtitles the average of understanding decreases to 80% or less, but when I activate the subtitles, I can understand almost everything but some words do not make sense in the context, and I still have lots of words and expressions to learn, even though I still study English hardly, it looks like two different worlds, a classroom environment and the ambience of the English really used in everyday life.

[leilakononova]

I was the one who was totally disencouraged. All my attempts to understand every single word while I was watching a movie were futile.
Lisa, thank you so much.

[tazbod]

Wow. These tips likely help with any language. I'm glad I watched it. I have the same issue with understanding some French speakers and not others, but your explanation makes me feel better about my failings to understand some people. It's normal. It's a common part of the learning process. Thank you. Great video.
