Learn English - 4 ways to understand what you hear 

I can’t understand people who press dislike button. Come on, his expiation is very clear and easy to understand. He is one of the best teacher who i ever met

I understand what you say to me, but I have a big problem when I need to create my own sentence. It's annoying.

"TheRe ArE nO sUbTitLeS whiLE sOmEOne is SpeAking" *silently turns off captions* Thank you guys so much for the likes!! I hope you have a great day^^

I'm very glad I can understand him.

Don’t think just listen. You can’t understand two conversations at once. Ask question and break it into chunks. Thanks James.

1) Don't think, just listen - You can't understand 2 conversations at once. 2) Ask questions - Engage to be engaged. 3) Home Practice - a. No subtitles b. 2-3 sentences c. 10x - for beginners/ 3x d. Then play sub e. Write down sentences you hear to know what you're missing and then practice what you've missed. 4) Close your eyes and listen. a. It will make easier to listen for you, because when you lose one sense (vision in our case), another one's getting better(hearing). 5) Order to watch movies: a. For kids b. Stupid comedy c. Action Movies d. Drama e. Dark comedy

*me watching him with subtitles* James: “you don’t see subtitles as I talk, it’s not realistic.” *turns them off*

Teacher : don’t think just listen My ADHD: don’t listen just think

Even though English is my native language, I enjoy watching this guy. xD

I usually hear English videos, makeup tutorials and DIYs, you know. That help me to understand better. I mean, I like these things, so I hear them. I really enjoy this language and I'm very proud of me right now (I understood all the video). I follow you now, you're so friendly! See you...

So first, I'm french and I'm 14 (most of the French population suck in English, you have to know) and I'm pretty proud of myself because I understand everything you said and everytime I couldn't understand you explained it. 2nd, thank you so much for that video! My level in English is good but I have big troubles for understanding and I'm always using English subtitles. Now I'm gonna try with the advices you gave and I'll see if it helps!

I wish i discovered you earlier. You are the most important youtuber i needed.

The best teacher ive ever seen, красава конечно!

I've listened to this video more than 5 times, and I have new insights every time. I couldn't imagine that I can watch an English video without subtitles just some months before. But the magic happened. I'm able to watch all of your videos without subtitles and understand more than 90%. Thank you very much, James.

5:10 *when I say I don’t get subtitles under my mouth.* YT Subtitles: i'm a joke to you?

I have been in the teaching field for the last 11 years. I have never seen this kind of teaching. I am grateful to see your videos.

I'm a native English speaker learning Italian, but I like to use the same lessons people are learning in English for my Italian studies.

hi James ,you are awesome at making people understanding the real job of mastering english. thanks a lot. The way you teach is fabulous what i see always.I'm still learning.

“Don't believe what I said, try what I said!”

You are the best teacher I’ve ever seen! I’ve gotten every single word right. The video is very fascinating. Thanks James!

I totally agree with this method ! I do this with music and when I've heard the song after i had read the lyrics, the words are easer to understand !

I wish that I could have a English teacher like you :) I'm having fun while listening your videos.

I'm absolutely grateful with you. I can get it all and YES!!! If you turn off the subtitles, you can pay all your attention on what someone is telling you, and the best is that you are thinking every thing you're listening to. James, you're the best, and yes, you're superb!!!

Perfectly prepared and explained and with a sense of humor I really love. Thank you very much for your videos James. Cheers from Spain ;)

Eu fiz curso por 3 anos de inglês eu consiguo ver filmes, etc...Mais dai eu começei a ver videos do youtube de pessoas falando em Inglês e acabei chegando nesse video e tharam me surpreendi eu consegui entender o que ele ensinou no video " Deixei as legendas ativadas para facilitar" mais como estava jantando quase não olhava pra tela, e cara realmente isso ajuda muito, quando vi o video pela segunda vez consegui ver o video sem olhar somente ouvindo e falo com certeza se você quer entender inglês instantaneamente segue esses passos que vão ajudar e muito!!!

Congratulations, James. You really developed the ability to get into a foreign mind when it comes to look at English. Watching your videos is a relief. They inspire me in overcoming my current limitations. God bless you

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential!

More than 6 years since I watched this video. Sep 2019 now. Thanks for your consistence in teaching me English. You are great

That *"when someone speaking, listen"* Hahahaha my mom always told me

I just saw "Friends" and they're the coolest, they have such a big sense of humor. I love them, they make me wanted to learn more English. Thanks, James for the recommendation

These tips are very useful teacher, it took me a lot of time to understand spoken English (and I still struggle sometimes) because I didn't get enough exposure to spoken English as a beginner so if I could change anything I did when I just started learning English would be to listen more but sometimes bad listening skills are often linked to a limited vocabulary at least in my experience.

I realized that I was thinking so much when I try to listen to native speakers. Thanks for the tips.

Omg, you're the Best Professor i have ever seen in my whole life.. I can understand all what you said just with the subtitles, but it's really good to me, cuz I'm beginner and i shouldn't understand what i understood.. I'm so grateful about this video, thank you so much!

i was able to understand this guy speaking at 100%. Today i took a call from an american kid but i was not able to understand more than a 60-70% of what he was saying u.u Why all not americans can speak like him u.u

These are great tips! I can understand videos in english on youtube and even chat in person just fine, but I've never been bold enough to watch a full movie without English subtitles. Will definitely try your method to fix this - and will also apply it to Spanish, the language I'm currently learning :) By the way, sir, you're a fantastic teacher, thank you for sharing your content with us!

You’re way of explaining is superb and clear !!!

I loved this video. I thought that I won't understand everthing, but after months without pratice english, I understood everthing just listening you. I loved the lessons! Thank you!

You is a best teacher that I ever saw, I'm from Brazil, my english is B1 (Intermediate), I understanded all that you spoke. You is awesome. I'm very happy now, thank you so mucth, I study english at home since my 15 years old and I never saw a teacher like you, funny and a genious.

The best teacher I've EVER listened to! Thanks a lot for making this lesson so humorous :)

This video really changed my life, 3 years later I can understand nearly 90% of a movie, song or conversation Thanks a lot

i dont write on videos often but im going to do this.. You´re a great teacher, i can see that you love to teach, im learning, my native lenguage its spanish and while i was watching the video i was smiling listening carefully those tricks!, awesome!.

You'll make my world much easier and I think I'm gonna love the English language more and more as long as I watch your videos 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you so much

I really like the way you explain the meaning of certain phrases like 'freak out' in the course of your speech, that's remarkable

thank you so much for these videos. I’m learning so much, it’s helping me in my life I am dyslexic. I have it into deficit disorder and I just want to say thank you for these videos.

Hi James, I learn from a few native speakers but you are really awesome. Your lessons of English are funny but intensive and valuable. Thank you a lot for great content on YT.

Thank you a lot. You're so funny and good teacher too.

I started to get addicted to your lessons man. I myself am a teacher. Yet I am learning and reviewing many things. I like your sense of humour. You're making learning enjoyable. Way to go

I've spoken English fluently for 12 years, but this teacher's methods are super effective to apply to any language. Top lad.

I watch videos in English all the time and without subtitles and it has helped me a lot in my English skills. Sometimes it just comes out naturally :D

Guy you´re the best youtuber teacher til now !!! Thank u so much!!

Hi sir just found your channel today, and I can’t stop watching!!! Thanks

This video is SO HELPFUL. Thank you!

When someone is speaking english, I can't get it but I understand when I read 😵

I think James is the ONE!! Just love his way of teaching!!! I always learn a lot! Thank you James!!!

Love the way you teach!!! Thanks for your channel!

0:46 This tip was very good: "Don't think just listen" Thank you!

I was born in Turkey and living in Istanbul now, so my main language is Turkish and i didn't take good English lesson at my school life. But i improved myself, so now i can understand many thing what u are said in your all videos, but i can't speak as well as you. Thank u for sharing such videos with us.

You are one of the most amazing teacher ever , thank-you so much sir.

El es un excelente teacher

I did home practice unconsciously, while trying to write down lyrics of an adorable song. Then I compare with the original lyrics. And, as you sad, later, while listening to the song, I started to distinguish words. You are soo right.

James, thanks for the video, seriously, I'm taking classes for C1 and a few weeks ago I realized about this first issue you mentioned, I was controlling all that I was saying, something that I don't do when I speak in my native language. Since then, I'm allowing myself to flow, resulting in an improvement of my conversations because I think about what I want to say next, instead of monitoring everything. We can say it's less self-centered now xD But, jokes aside, seeing your video confirmed my suspicions, what a relief, man... you got a new subscriber

I've understood everything. Really, you're good teacher. One big problem is words. It really hard to remember words for me.

You seem to be a really good teacher my friend, congrats !

I switched off subtitles and i can understand every word you say. But your speaking are very clear and accentuated. Something you can't say about majority of native english speakers. In reality you have much tougher challenge to understand some people speaking.)

You're such a great teacher! Thank youuuuuu!

I'm learning Portuguese ! Nice videos James

James, English is the 2nd language for me and I have learnt it in school of higer education for 5 years. I have always had problems with listening and understanding (I'm sure you know this type of people :) But I watched this video of yours and understood every single word even when you spoke fleuntly. By the way the advices are good. I liked the 2nd one mostly. Just thank you. By the way, I have not found a video about difference between "between" and "among". Could you give your ideas about this as a person who lives among native speakers. Is "between" really about choice between two things or some several things (but definite)?

About for 2 years, I decided to watch this video.Amazing!I understand your speach! Thank you for information !

James, great video buddy, as usual! The students must understand how important it is to spend time in contact with the language! Most part of them are just waiting for miracles! Greetings from an English school from Brazil! 🇧🇷

you are the best teacher that i know

Really, you are a great teacher, I like your way of teaching us the language, it is interesting with jokes. One of the problems having foreign English learners is lack of good teacher. Since 1995 I have been studying English in somehow ( Primary school, High school even the first degree of my university) but still I am struggling with it. Dear teacher James, what is wrong with me? . Thanks Abdiaziz Somalia

I’ve been speaking English most of my life and I found this very helpful. Thanks

Thank's so much for your video ! They really help me in the quotidian

I love this guy... :)

u're very good teacher! i'm love your for explain!

James today i find your videos... thank so much for your advices. thank for your time a effort.

Teacher! You're simply awesome! A special hug from a brazilian studant!

You're so good teaching!

Hi from Montpellier in France ! Your explanations are particularly clear and usefull. Thanks for this gift. These tools will be mine immediatly. Your humour is delightful ! 😊

I appreciate your knowledge. Thanks for being our teacher.

GRAB was not only with your hands, but it can be with your brain that what's I learned in this fantastic lesson!!

Teacher James: You are amazing!!!.

Man I love you're so amazing. I watched this video with subtitles but I'm going to rewatch it without subtitles. Is that good if I watch movies with subtitles first time and later rewatch them without? What do you think guys?

This is good teaching. I only discovered this channel 2 days ago and I cannot stop watching. You are very good in what you do sir!

Thanks for the videos! You really help me to understand difference topics.

Yo guys I have another really good trick! I always listen to advanced rappers like Witt Lowry or Logic. Im from germany and 15 (so sorry for my bad english :) I decided to understand what they're saying so I can rap with 'em or just get the feel from the song, you know what I mean... :D So I opened the Lyrics page (didnt look at the lyrics doe) and took out a sheet of paper. I played the music and stopped it every hmm I think 30 Seconds and wrote down what I remembered and understood, word for word and after that I compared it to the Lyrics. There were really much Words I dont even knew and I learned so much from it, how to spell them, how to write them, I mean today I can almost understand everything and Im the best in my class so I think it works :D As you can see I'm still a noob when it comes to write a text (mostly bc of the tenses) but i wont give up learning never been one for past tenses so know that im moving forward before i finish this sentence :p

OMG..I understand almost everything without subtitles may be because I watch soo much hollywood movies and english youtube videos but real problem occur when I start speaking .sentence formation and I don't understand which word will be suitable for present situation or which word to use in sentence :P

Thank's for lesson! It was wonderful experience, because that's my first video with you and I wasn't prepared: I didn't turn on subtitles and try only listen. And with the first point " don't try to thinking" it became understood all that you say 🙆‍♀️

Thanks very much!! This lessons will help me a lot 🙏🙏

The only problem for me is when i try to listen. So many words in english are so similar between them

Man, you got me laughing really hard when you said "action movies are meant to stupid people!" You and Ronnie are the best!

I have been following this practice since very long and believe me. There is no better way than this.

This is THE best english teaching channel ever👌🏼 Great sense of humor + huge knowledge 🏆 Thank You for such work 🎥🙌🏼

You guys from the EngVid are soooo cool!!!! I love your lessons!

It was a good strategy in listening lesson, thank you so much❤❤

I'm from Spain and currently I'm learning English. I should recognise that I've saw the video using subtitles, but anyway most of their words were understandable and clearly. If you're looking for improve your speaking skills, please follow this channel... You'll increase your learning a lot! Thx again for this lesson teacher. Best Regards!

I in love with this channel. Im brazillian and Im working hard in english in 4 months ago. I wanna learn more until the fluence.
