Instead of saying "I know." You can always say; This is true. Indeed. Of course. Agreed. I hear you. Understood. Exactly. Absolutely.

"Improve your Vocabulary: Stop saying I KNOW!" I know man, I know

This man is teaching us better than most English teachers. The internet is truly a magnificent place

I wish I had teachers like this in school. I would have learned so much more.

"You need to stop saying I know so much" "Yeah, I know."

teacher: "you need to stop saying I know" me: "I know"

Your English teaching is highly valuable even for the natives. Thank you.

"I acknowledge that I am aware that what you have uttered is accurate." this will be very helpful when I have to do an essay in english class

And now I know

Meanwhile: Me: *keeps saying "I know" even after watching this*

I've been having this problem with a friend and I couldn't figure it out until today. He keeps saying I know and this video really brought it straight with me.

I'm a native English speaker who has lived his whole life in the USA, and this video is still full of good information. If you're learning English, you're in the right place.

you're saving people's relationships honestly

I taught my lil cousin this, he would always say "I know" and slowly but surely he stopped and now speaks very good English, now his conversations last longer

: do you know the way? Me after this video: I appreciate you asking me for my evaluation of the situation. I see from my perspective many ways we are able to go about this. After recognizing and validating through a previous experience of such a situation, I now *understand* the way.

Knowledge is power, UNDERSTANDING is GREATER, WISDOM is BEST.

This man might change my life

I’ve understand more in this video, than I ever had in school. I’m going to show these Video to my 7 year old Nephews.

I love how he is just a tiny bit dorky! "Hint hint, astricks" Wonderful Teacher!

"I know" versus "I understand" is the difference between arrogance and understanding. Even if you know what someone is telling you, that person wants to be heard. If that person feels heard, they are more agreeable and so are you.

perfect speech ✅ amazing lesion ✅ calming voice✅ fantastic teacher✅ you're a great teacher Mr. James, learned a lot from you!!! excellent work!!🥳♥♥

For those of you Native English speakers adding your unsolicited input or corrections, remember that this is a class for beginners. He has to be straightforward. At this level, nuances only help further confuse students.

Thank you! My work colleague says "I know" when information is being shared with her. It comes across as being rude, ignoring people, & unappreciative. Causes communication breakdown. Perhaps we'll just leave her "Post-it" notes. The only time she wants to communicate is when she wants to interrupt the way you are doing a task. She ignores that everyone has a way of doing simple tasks. Her way does not improve the process or make it faster. The end result will be the same. I simply say "I understand" instead of arguing. At the end of the day I am not going to lose sleep over her saying "I know". The team sees this which makes the rest of us look like better employees. As an adult it is her responsibility to improve her communication skills.

Basic: "I know." Intellectual: "I have previously obtained this information."

"I know" is a perfectly good response for people who are arrogantly patronizing you and telling you obvious shit you already know.

This was more of a communication class.. which needs to be implemented in any language we speak… thanks for teaching us how sensitive words can be… Great lesson Sir! 👏

Teacher: Do you know the answer to this question? Student: I do appreciate the fact that you are asking me to check if i am able to answer the questions that you gave me, but the answer is, i don't know Teacher: FFF

Him: "Stop saying I Know, it ends the conversation". Me: *It's almost like that's the point*

James is a good and funny teacher I appreciate his humor while teaching.

Thanks for this man. I hope you are still excited about doing this for a very long time. You are a huge blessing !

This is such an important topic all writers should see; expanding your vocabulary is always positive progession.

I didn’t even realize I wanted to learn my own native language even more, hated it in hs but now in my mid twenties, these lessons are extremely entertaining and interesting.

This guy makes learning fun I'm actually watching these for entertainment and to learn, its depressing to recognize I will never get a teacher as superb as him

Now I really know what I know mean, and other ways to day the same and have a better conversation with English natives and also people that are learning English! Thanks a lot man! You have the best RU-vid channel related to tech English! I am really grateful for your iniciative and for your life!

these lesson really help me to learn improve my vocabulary and i hope i can speak english confidently and without rambling

He's like the Bob Ross of English lessons.

Replace "I know" with "i don't know' and watch that convo melt into sheer awkwardness

Over my years of learning Polish I've unfortunately caught one of their most commonly used phrases, "no wiem", which made me start saying it in all of languages that I can speak. I greatly appreciate that I found your video because I really hate the phrase, "I know", so I'm reteaching myself to avoid using this. Like you said, It makes me feel like people are not actually considering my message and they only care about what they want to tell me, so conversations feel one-sided.

The end homework: 1. I appreciate the information. 2. I mixed up which drink went to whom.

This is so funny because I find it really annoying when people respond with “I know” . It’s essentially a way of telling you to shut up lol !

James: you can use other phrases to replace "I know." Monica Geller: I know

Can we tell- u are such a great teacher. Engaging,entertaining and absolutely relatable! I so enjoy all your presentations.😃

U're such a great teacher James, I'm very thankful to having your videos on YT.

I recently said "i know" to something a coworker said to me. I was met with "oh im sorry". In a rather sarcastic tone. I have been thinking about this for a couple days now. Thanks for this.

Anyone else here a so-called natural English-speaking person finding this lesson absolutely brilliant? Thanks James, I stumbled upon this lesson after tweaking the RU-vid algorithms and could not be more joyful after doing so! In short, you just got one more subscriber!

A man I worked with years ago (RIP) used to say "Those people who say they know it all are really p*ssing off those of us who do!" He usually said this when the know-it-all in the room started bragging - truth is- when it came to that job, he did know it all. Loved this video!

James, you’re in my head, every sentence! Thank you for your channel, it’s so very helpful. At 72, it’s been a very very long time, I forget. Thanks for sharing. You have an very excellent show. I learn, I laugh, I enjoy, very pleasant in every way. The very word very was very very problematic but I over came it! Thanks James

"Any fool can know, the point is to understand." - Sponge Bob

When I was 18 years old, as a private in the United States Army, I listened to a speech given by my Brigade Commander. I was moved by that speech but found myself perplexed that I didn't completely understand some of the words he had used in the speech.... After the speech, I ran into him and exchanged a few brief words.... Again, He used a couple words that I didn't know... I felt dumb. I nodded and smiled while my face grew red with embarrassment but I wouldn't dare to ask him what his words meant. However, I think he recognized my confusion. That night, I went to Wal-Mart and purchased a dictionary. I looked up each word so that I could understand what his message was, in it's entirety. That was the first domino in a series that would take me from challenging myself with a vocabulary list weekly, in which, I would challenge myself to use the words I would learn in a sentence to doing Public Speaking in various capacities throughout my career. Broadening my vocabulary has contributed so significantly to my self confidence. 🔥 I love what you're doing here!

Following your channel for the last 10 years and something Thank you so much I really appreciate your work

Somehow my mind was refreshed that if you know you know and this dude doing a great job literally u know....

I say I understand more than I know, because “I know” sounds extremely annoying. I’m glad I clicked on this video it is very informative.

this guy actually enjoys teaching and i love that

it is the perfect native speaking teacher! It is a place to level up your english. Thak You!

I can’t believe I found your channel. Thank you for your classes!!! Greetings from Mexico.

I'm a native English speaker and I tend not to communicate well. So this was extremely helpful and hopefully I get into a habit of speaking in a way others can understand.

Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care 🥰 Love that!

Wow! Thanks so much! now I know how to stop saying I know how! 🤯⁉️

Great lesson man. I really do say "I know" often when in conversations. God bless you, brother!

I recognize that this was one of the better class on the internet. From my perspective the professor is more than a teacher is a educator. I deeply appreciate the way you teach us, I see all the kindness in your words and that make me thankful.

I've found that when someone constantly says "I know" when you're speaking to them, it's often a defense response. They feel you're treating them as if they were ignorant, and they feel the need to show that they already know the information. It's rooted in their ego, and they aren't recognizing that this person has no idea of what knowledge they may have. So instead of either just listening and saying thank you, or replying with a different, less defensive phrase, they strike back and shut the other person down.

Man you're such a good teacher, I'm blown away

I think you made me figure how to talk to my partner properly now. I use I know quite often, I now recognise and understand. 😅 Thank you!

I always pretend I don’t know even tho I do when someone explains something to me. I look at it as someone going out of their way to help me. And I appreciate it.

Please have a lesson on, how to stop saying "like", twenty five times prior to completing one sentence. This lesson reminds me of a coworker, they always repeat this, after we tell them, they were wrong. Sharing this, and thank you, very informative.

I'm not ESL but I enjoy your videos for making me think about the language I use and how I want to be perceived.

"You should stop saying I know" Monica: I know!!

If my teachers was like this I would actually enjoy school. *appreciate*

When my mom and I first came to the United States I picked up that “I know” phrase and I quickly dropped it because my mom didn’t know English and she told me that I needed to do the dishes and I replied with I know and she almost beat me lol since “I know” sounds a lot like “ai no” in Spanish meaning something like hell no. If it wasn’t for my English speaking aunt being there I would have gotten a good ol fashion butt whooping lol 😂

Love this man!!! Thank you for the class ❤

Thank you for sharing this because sometimes I say I know even though I didn’t hear what the person said. Ty

I just learned more about the English language than I did the entire time in high school.

i like how everybody love him and give him the respect he deserves

You're a natural Mr. James I thank you.

I know, is sadly my favorite word when acknowledging, “I understand”. 😅😅 thanks for the video!

I recognize that James is delivering the lessons normally like students are listening in a classroom discussion. And that makes him so interesting!

I'm a native English speaker, but here I am listening. He is an excellent teacher. Best of luck to everyone learning English!

I inadvertently ran across your video, you’re awesome and i appreciate your lesson

Thank you for this! I don’t take English classes or anything but I do have a small vocabulary due to being uncomfortable with speaking, I have a accent I guess?, that takes a while for people to understand what I’m saying and I just am afraid to increase it because I want people to understand me. Even though I want people to understand me, because of my short vocabulary I’ve actually started not understanding myself if you know what I mean. Sometimes I have problems believing myself because I’ve had to change me for other people. This definitely made me more confident and determined to increase my vocabulary! Even if it might be scary and new at first, little steps to understanding is better then saying something not even you believe :)

I go to the gym everyday. I stumbled upon this accidentally today and decided to listen to it in my earbuds while I worked out. I definitely didn't get an angry Hulk mode lift in, but eternally grateful for the gain of knowledge. Thank you Mr. J. I love nothing more than good grammar and really appreciate your teachings.

Assignment: 1. I appreciate the information. 2. I mixed-up which drink went to whom.

I never thought about " I know " before this lesson very informative.

I came across this video and after listening to it..just had to subscribe,looking forward for more learning lessons 🤝

This is good shit, I do tend to say "I know" a lot and RU-vid is here calling me out lol. Thanks for a great video!

English is my native language & never really considered this, or tried much to improve my grammar (other than big words here & there) but now I’m determined to not say “ I know “. Amazing teacher, super intriguing!

From my perspective i really appreciate you taking your time to giving me this knowledge

“Knowing and understanding are two different things “. Facts

This makes my college essay longer Before watching: "I know" After watching: "it is to be heard to thy hearer that known is by me "

I speak English as a first language but this video was still very interesting and informative. To be honest I could listen to him explain just about anything, his excitement toward teaching is amazing.

I appreciate that this video is extremely informative and will help me with my communication skills. 👌🏾

Oh yeah what a superb lecture 🤝🎯 , I appreciate you

Homework: I am appreciative of the information I mixed up which drink went to whom. Comment: Excellent video. This randomly popped up, and I am glad it did. This is perfect information, a lot of knowledge given here. I recognize the information in this video, from my perspective it was awesome, I appreciate the research you put into this, I understand it now and I now see what I can do different in conversation and dealing with people. Thanks so much! New subscriber.

I appreciate life skill videos like this at 31 years old i can never stop learning thank you 🙏🏿

Thank You so much for this lesson teacher!

I really appreciate the knowledge you have given us via the RU-vid video. My wife advised me to watch this video. We have a 10 yr old that has the bad habit of saying “ I know” all the time! This was a great video for adults but theirs a few references in it “ the bunnies in the summer, and vodka and gin” are to adult for a kid. I will have analogy when it comes to those parts.

The only time I like to hear “I know” it’s when someone comforts me

Wait this dudes not asking for money AND is making actual content??? That’s refreshing

Thx you for this lesson.

Thanks you very much! I truly value how you encourage open communication. I am pleased that your intention goes beyond merely enhancing speaking skills, encompassing the genuine art of connecting with others. It is quite uncommon to find people who emphasize the importance of take care of people. That is why I decided to write this comment. I like your lessons full of humanity. Warm greetings from Italy
