As you learn English, have you ever wondered why it is hard to understand native English speakers, but you have very little trouble understanding English teachers like me on RU-vid?
In this English lesson I'll outline 5 reasons why this occurs AND I'll give you five solutions to help you continue to strengthen your English language knowledge in spite of this "problem". P.S. It isn't really a problem is it? 😎
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

You speak clearly, logically... But most importantly, you don't use slang. Many learners can't understand movies even if they read the scripts because they never learnt slang or swear words in school.

Hi Mr. Bob, just found your channel few weeks ago. I don’t usually write comments because I’m not good at English, I’m afraid that people gonna laugh but I just want you to know that you’re so sincere in teaching people that you don’t even know, telling us to watch other videos in order to learn more is a thing that only sincere person can do. Thanks and sorry for my grammar. BTW I subscribed both to your channels right after I’ve came across in one of your videos.

@za7607 Год назад

Thank you Bob. Your pronuciation is really clear. I moved to the US recently, but people here have different accents.On these days I work hard to improve my skills, days and nights.And When I'm talking in English with a person that English is their second language too, like me, I feel more confident, but I experince so much stress when it comes to the native people. Because talking is like playing ping pong and if I don't understand what they say I feel embarrassed deeply that I messed up again. Sometimes some people don't have any tendency to repeat their words so I prefer not to ask them to say that again. Instead I'm trying to improve my listening. I share my experience here for those ones who experiencing the same journey. Thank you again Bob. I always take notes of your videos.

@GerardoPerez-gc6ft 3 года назад

Hey Bob. Thanks for these amazing videos. I am new to your channel. I have shared a couple of your videos with some of my students and colleagues around the world. I am a language teacher myself. I have spent more than 30 years teaching French, English, and Spanish. I thought I spoke English before I came to live here in Mid-Georgia. I felt frustrated because after many years of teaching and speaking the language I was not able to understand anyone here. Of course, my college English had not been tested in a US southern environment. Southern American English has a unique intonation pattern and vowel changes. That makes it difficult to understand. So my advice is to listen to a wide variety of people with different accents and different social backgrounds. it may help a lot.
