Matt Halsdorff and Christiain Saunders have launched a project which aims to help native speakers communicate more effectively with non-native speakers. In this episode I speak to Matt about the project, the reasons why native English speakers are often the worst communicators, examples of language they use which is confusing, not understanding the challenges of language learning and not feeling the need to build a bridge in terms of communication. This episode is all about how native speakers sometimes communicate badly in a global context, even if the common language is English, and what they can do to improve their communication skills on an international level. As a learner of English you could use this episode to get insights into the differences between native level English and the sort of global English which is used internationally as a lingua franca. They are two different types of English and should be identified as such. Again, it's a good idea to spot the different genres or registers of English and see how they are different to each other.

I don't know if you, Luke, read a later comment on a video posted 2 year ago but, I'd like to say that THIS host, Matt Halsdorff, said the smartest, cleverest, empathic remarks I've ever listened to on your podcasts, about the problems we English learners meet. I really couldn't agree more. Such a sensitive man!

Luke, thank you for such incredible podcasts! You are the first person who really helped me improve my listening! I started listening you podcasts while jogging: no subtitles, no texts at all! At the beginning I hardly understood something. But some weeks later I realized that I could hear 98 per cent of your speech. I just click on the button "Listen" and enjoy! It means so much for me! Thank you so much for your work! I made a big step with your help 💚

I am so moved by you guys talk in this episode. You guys are such language teaching experts and have spoken out all my feeling towards learning and teaching languages in 4 countries… I am a Taiwanese, grew up and learned American English until high school in Taiwan, then majored in German at the university in Taipei, completed my post graduate studies ( major in education, two minors are music science and English) in Germany. For the time being i am teaching English and music at a local high school in Germany after teaching music at an international school in Singapore by using British English for 13 years. In my views, people, no matter in which of these four countries, often underestimate all my efforts which i have been putting in my studies or jobs. I really hope i could somehow help in some way to assist whatever projects you guys are up to in the future. It would be great fun to work with people of similar teaching backgrounds.

Hi Luke, hi Matt, I think your conversation here is one of the best examples of adapting the language to non-native speakers! I'm just an intermediate learner, but it has been so fascinating to hear your flow of words! I have understood almost everything. Thank you both I agree with you: it's so easy for me to comprehend difficult topics in English, but I don't understand simple conversation in TV series, because of the idioms and phrasal verbs ... So in an international environment, where people of different nationalities are, Christian's idea about the importance of an adaptation of the language for better communication and better communication for greater equality in the world is really powerful. Thanks everyboby and sorry for my English

Good point about phrasal verbs. We, learners, usually know the core verbs but it's complicated to grasp their meaning and those mysterious changes in meaning depending on what we put after the verbs make the thing even more confusing. I've got to know quite a few of them and it always must be learnt by heart, it's not intuitive.

I deeply appreciate the care that non-native speakers bring to communication. They choose their words and phrases purposefully and achieve a far better signal-to-noise ratio. Native speakers pepper the language with nonsense. It makes the work of understanding 10 times more difficult that it should be.

Your guest is amazing just like you. I regard highly those who care about others’ feelings. This man happens to understand the challenges that we, learners of English, face on daily basis. We strive to be very good in English yet we come across some other issues like trying to familiarize with different English accents and most importantly the unlimited numbers of idioms and phrasas verbs. I, personally, don’t stop learning new vocabulary words on daily basis , and this has been the case for years now, but there are unlimited numbers of things I should learn. I’m happy to learn new things but I hope English native speakers cooperate to make our journey in learning their language smoother.

@CoyoteEnglish

Hi Dawn! Great questions and not easy to give a short answer. I think it always depends on our audience, but there are definitely times this isn't easy to measure or prepare for. What to do? I'd lean on adapting more if it is an international group mixed 50/50 with the native speakers. It's not nice to have 50% of the audience laughing while the other 50% is fake laughing (for example). That drives a wedge between people in the audience, which is never good. It's a balancing act, and it's impossible to adapt perfectly either way for everyone in a large group, but I'd aim for the middle. Both questions Luke passed on were important questions 😃
@DawnPeacock
@DawnPeacock 2 года назад
@@CoyoteEnglish I completely agree with you - it is a complex issue with maybe 80% gray area and not at all easy to give a simple answer! I tried to go into this complexity, but my comment disappeared after I submitted it. (Maybe there is a limit to the length of comments here?) So perhaps I'll share my thoughts elsewhere. In any case, I think the Travel Adapter will go a long way toward increasing native English speakers' sensitivity to the experience of the person we're seeking to communicate with.

This is one of the episodes that I like the most, very objectively discussed about how native English speakers should be thinking when they talk to nonnative speakers especially in a international environment, like meetings and conferences calls. You know what, it’s always been a nightmare when the calendar in my PC rings for a reminder of a conference call because we all can hardly get what the Aussie people say through telephones or Skype or Teams or whatever, not only because of the audio quality, more importantly, because of Aussie accent and slangs. What we did was most likely just dial in the meeting but say nothing and then just wait for the meeting minutes afterwards. So the company almost can’t get any feedback from China team. I have ever discussed this with my boss about this situation but, didn’t work much. Anyway, the company finally stepped out from China market.

This is really a n encouraging content for me who has been learning English for more than 30 years but still cannot feel comfortable to speak out in a meeting in English 😆 I especially agree that native speakers simply don’t know the difficulty for non natives. Working in a global company, i had a chance to talk to an Australian sales person to ask his experience. He was very nice person and was very much willing to share a lot of stories. As a sales person, probably he didn’t have much experience to talk to non natives. It was so embarrassing that I didn’t understand anything!

Thank you for uploading this episode. This is really interesting and important topic. I'm going to write down my thoughts as one of the non-native speakers who are learning English. I think this kind of issue should be spoken more loudly, frequently, and publicly in order to enhance the communication between people who have different backgrounds (including native speakers and non-native speakers.) Now that English has become "International language", and huge number of people in the world have already recognized it and even they have been working hard to learn it, English is becoming not only in the possession of native speakers, but also of non native speakers, isn't it?

For me as a person who is not an English speaker, I have already worked out why English people don't understand what people who really try to learn their language, need to go through. They usually don't learn languages different than French which in some point is pretty similar in terms of family of languages, but when it comes to learn a language from a different family of languages, than is way more challenging. You need to put a huge effort to change the way of thinking in order to speak other language. But a lot of native speakers are not aware of that. They usually think it is all about words. Just if they are aware that and try to be a little less ignorant, they would somehow be more respectful.

Agree. As a native Spanish speaker (which is Latin language), it was kind of shocking to me understanding the structure of English, which is a _germanic_ language, strongly influenced by French maybe, but still a Germanic language. The grammatical structures can be very different between both. Can you imagine learning a language like Korean or Japanese? 😅

Hello, Luke! This Episode with Matt is amazing! I couldn't agree more with the fact that native speakers can be very bad communicators when they are having conversations with non native speakers. I had a very unpleasant experience when I had to meet natives at the airport and accompany them to the plant I was working at. It was so embarassing. I thought i could understand English! But as I worked it out they spoke so quickly, so indistinctly, using so many phrasal verbs, much cultural content that I was not able to follow and basically put in a word. Finally when we were at the meeting with our boss and my other colleguaes, they were asked to speak with a slower pace and actually that helped!
@CoyoteEnglish
@CoyoteEnglish 2 года назад
Maria - thanks for sharing this! Hearing these stories is important (especially for the native speakers). Asking them to slow down and reminding them that they are in an international environment is not only helpful, but it's also fair. If they heard that every time they had an international meeting we could hope that one day they would start to adapt naturally. Experience is a great teacher here. I also look at it at defending oneself a little bit. An experienced native speaker could say something like "Let's remember English isn't everyone's first language here so let's be careful of using special expressions and try and slow down a little" at the beginning of a meeting. It only takes a second, but it can do a lot to help. Eventually, it will become part of the company culture also - or that's the hope!

This is actual problem that reveals a lot untold questions in it. I think this movement sounds like English Esperanto. I often ask myself, why I should 'learn' English while at the same time I can 'memorize' English. Because English basically consist of idioms, phrases that not allows me maneuvering. Luke said right that native speakers spoiled by privileges...
@LukesEnglishPodcast
@LukesEnglishPodcast Год назад
I don’t think English is only idioms and phrases. There’s also grammar which sets the various possibilities of different structures. Vocabulary is worth learning in phrases, but you can get lots of possibilities for manoeuvring by developing your grammar. Also don’t forget pronunciation and the way sentence stress and intonation allow you to convey different nuances of meaning. What native speakers need to understand is that they sometimes should meet non-native speakers half way when communicating with them.

@CoyoteEnglish
@CoyoteEnglish 2 года назад
That's a great question and there isn't a perfect answer. I think that international companies should have their monolingual English staff do a very short workshop about it. Companies invest millions in English training every year, and working with the native speakers is much more cost-effective. It also helps everyone meet in the middle. That's one way to start. Simply making people more aware in our daily lives is important also. The more global the English language becomes, the more the native speakers may need to adapt. The best way to raise awareness would be to create a successful film where it's part of the storyline 😎🤷🏽‍♂️

In my opinion, the Californian teacher is so sympathetic towards non native speakers of Eng. and that's awesome! He's highlighting the importance of success in communication rather than showing high levels of proficiency in the Eng.language mainly when people al over the world are trying hard to convey their views as best as they can in a language they sometimes find tough to learn since they belong to different cultures and ethnic origins....in other words, if Eng.is generally considered a lingua franca , its main goal to me, should be to provide what's necessary to garantee good communication among non native speakers of the whole world thus , what's more crucial, getting to wipe out all sorts of racial intolerance .
@CoyoteEnglish
@CoyoteEnglish 2 года назад
Hi Martha! Yes I think there is a lot about EQUALITY buried in this topic. Communication should always be our first goal... always. That's why we're trying to learn a second language, right? To speak with others, listen to them, share stories, etc. I know many people have to learn English for a test - but that definitely is not the true reason to learn English. Many people say English is just a tool - a key - that opens up the world. The only important thing here then is that the key opens the door, not that's it's made of gold or without scratches 😃

I have noticed this in many settings when native speakers are talking to non-native speakers and not just in a work setting. They speak too fast, mumble and when not understood just repeat what they said only louder. I'm an online tutor and most of my students speak English as a second or third language. It's vital to slow down and use appropriate vocabulary. It always seemed really obvious to me to do this.
@elk33333
@elk33333 2 года назад
I believe the speakers’ genuine attitude matters. If they really have the understanding and genuinely want to communicate, they don’t need to over think of patronizing; if they feel in the heart ”God why don’t you understand”, that personal he’s talking to picks it up even they pretend to be nice

Kindness is good when communicating. if the goal is communication isn't good to correct the people every time if you understood what was said. If the name of someone is Carvalho and a native english speaker says 'Cavalo', trying to speak portuguese, it's okay he tried. I'll not say 'hey you called him Cavalo' that means horse. I expect the same when i'm speaking in English even I know I sometimes spell the words wrongly.

You are the "fun" homework I give to some of the students to improve their listening skills, if I am being a "nice" teacher I recommend the video on RU-vid but if I am being mean I send link to the podcast :) I have never had to do more "research" and planning as a teacher as I have to listen/watch too 😆🤣

I perfectly understand when Luke speaks English as well as Matt. They do a very good job for foreign listeners, they know exactly how a language should be though

Nice one Luke! I watched your video podcast with Cristhian, and I couldn't be more agree about the responsability that we have as a learnest of English, and I remember being in class and some of the students were there oly waiting to be feeding buy their teachers and unfortunately it's not as simple as that but, sometimes some English speakers make our lives a bit miserable jeje making things hard for us and as Matt said, sometimes we need an extending hand jejeje. But I also know that everyone speaks from their position, and I what i mean about this, it's that emphatize with others can be diffcult especially if we haven't been in a same situation. And as Matt said keep motivated, but more than motivated remaind discipline, because motivation is an emotion as others emotions, as happines, as sadness, etc and keep motivated all the time is not easy, remaind discipline is not easy either jeje but it's going to make the difference in your study plan. Lots and lots of love from Colombia!

Motivation and discipline on ourselves sounds like a great combination 😉 I know in my own language learning I have felt very motivated and less disciplined, which has definitely slowed me down...
