ABOUT THIS VIDEO

However, in this video we discuss several new topics.. for example, maybe you don't understand native English speakers because the people you speak with have REALLY bad speaking habits. Maybe they mumble, don't enunciate, and speak too quietly! All of these things will interfere with clear communication.

Another reason you may struggle to understand native English speakers is because sometimes people don't explain things in a logical manner. Or maybe they use idioms that you're not familiar with.

There are so many reasons you may not understand native English speakers, but most of the time it's not your fault (especially if you understand me!).

Once you realize that you're not too blame, you will have more confidence when speaking with others. You won't be afraid to ask someone to speak up, clarify what they mean, or even start over.

Also, keep in mind that people speak differently all over the world. You may be unfamiliar with different accents, regional vocabulary, or slang terms. This is OK! As long as you aren't afraid to ask someone to repeat what they say (or say it a different way), you'll be fine.

Anyhow... I hope this video was helpful! If you can think of any other reasons why it might be difficult to understand native English speakers, feel free to list them in the comments.

See you in the next video! :D

PS. "I've been taking the piss out of myself recently." means "I've been making fun of myself recently." I never would have guessed... 👀🙅🏼‍♀️😅 idioms are so crazy!!

Awesome video! I totally agree with your tips. I didn’t realize how hard native English speakers are to understand until I started teaching, so don’t feel discouraged if you have this problem! Good luck with your English studies everyone! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[KalebQueiroz]

Perfect! I'm learning english by myself, and every time that I'll hear some native English I have a great difficulty to understand what they say, and yes, it's really frustrating... But listening to others natives, as in this video, I realize that I am able to undertand, I just need to keep learning and don't give up! Thanks for helping! I loved the video!

[wilma.espiritucrowley]

For non-native English speaker like me, the main reason why it's difficult to understand native English speakers is because we have little to no practice of conversational english. Our learning is mostly thru classroom lectures and reading. And conversational english feels like a totally different dimension. And also, you're not alone in terms of zoning out lol. My brain also does that to me when the information it receives are overwhelming.

[julioprofumo]

I can understand everything you say! Thank you. I thought it was my fault!

[accountant]

you spread confidence to those who are struggling to know what's wrong with their english

[claudiod.]

I'm living abroad for couple of months, and you can't imagine how crucial are being your classes for me.
You are doing a great job on helping people out learning and/or improving their English.
God bless!
