Improve your Vocabulary: Stop saying I KNOW!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 янв 2020
- This lesson is about more than just improving your vocabulary. Improve your communication skills and your conversations with others by replacing the simple “I know.” with other terms and expressions in English. In this video, I’ll explain why “I know” often has a negative effect on your conversation, and will then give you many different terms you can use instead. Take the first step to improving your relationships with friends, family, and co-workers by watching this class and then actually doing what I say in the video. Practice in real life and then let me know how it went in the comments.

Said this and they said "wtf? 😐"
I just can’t use that cos I just need very short line to replace “I know”.

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.
weird right?
Thank you so much for saying you're a native English speaker rather than saying you speak American as some Americans like to say as if they have claim to the English language
@@InspireNThrive206 I know
@@personincognito3989 What are you talking about? He could be English or Canadian maybe Australian or South African? 😂
@@gaming4K that’s the point.
"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.
Absolutely on point!
It's extremely difficult to entertain a conversation with someone who "knows everything" you might simply want to share or discuss. A valuable lesson for myself here as well.
Absolutely. Clear effective speech conveys true intention.
Great point!
It's funny this video came on my timeline right after I had a conversation with a women who I first tried to end the conversation with nicely by saying thank I understand and now im overwhelmed we can dive into this another time but she kept going so I threw in the I knows and eventually when that didn't work I completely zoned out and turned my back on her. In my own life I have used I know ONLY with people who I have tried to listen and understand and then put my input but that other person was not open to what I had to say and just wanted to hear themselves talk and talk over me. I can't have have conversation with someone who can't let someone input something into the convo because if that is the case then go to a therapist who will listen to you rant but want no input. I agree that I know is very condescending but sometimes when all other nice tactics to end a conversation fails I know can really throw a punch in there
🤦🏻♂️ saying understand is saying that you
“stand under”
It’s inherently submissive bs that no one should ever say.
How about just critically think instead of listening to someone tell you what to say 😂
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
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.
Knowledge is power, UNDERSTANDING is GREATER, WISDOM is BEST.

He already knows bro
I was just about to say this.
😭😭😭😭 exactly why I’m here
How ?
ikr? 🤣
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 !
It is. Code or social cue to stop talking to that person. When o use it , I mean stop talking to me. I did not ask you to speak to me or for any information 😂😂😂
Exactly! That’s my opinion as well.
@Stephone Bryan lol I hear you . Although my comment was more about when in back and forth conversation. Saying “I know” is kind of abrasive and basically cuts the conversation short . It also makes an assumption that I think you dont know lol I’m just engaging in dialogue but yes when people give unwanted opinions or try to act like a know it all . I know is a quick and easy way to shut that down .
@Stephone Bryan fair enough but this isn’t about having a long conversation per se , more so about a fruitful conversation, I can only be talked at for so long . I will eventually give my input . If you respond to my input with I know , if you know why exactly are you speaking to me , go talk to yourself , review things in your head . Only therapists have to sit and be talked at for long periods of time without input , you don’t engage others in conversation and then respond to their input with “I know” . That’s not very self aware . Also shows you have crappy conversational skills , me telling you something you know doesn’t always warrant the response “I know” and if you would like to disengage from the conversation do so but don’t be surprised if someone you constantly say “I know” to starts to avoid conversation with you . If you enjoy conversation with someone saying “I know” is a good way to make sure they don’t enjoy conversation with you .
For me I only say it when someone is intricately explaining something simple to me that I'm well aware of. If you sit there and try to lecture me on the techniques of tying a shoelace, I'm gonna say "I KNOW"
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.
Send this link to her with a note for her to watch it! Maybe through a made up email address.
@@JanRossi I cannot. Probably end up in HR. People can be super sensitive.
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.

"I know" is a perfectly good response for people who are arrogantly patronizing you and telling you obvious shit you already know.
I’m aware of how you feel but ones ignorance does not mean you reply with ignorance you communicate your discomfort
@@JustindunnItAgain that being said when you are dealing with a person who is demeaning your intelligence a quip of “I know” is a good way to show them that they are being an ass or that their explanation in completely unnecessary and borderline rude without saying “you are being patronizing ass”
If someone is being arrogant I just act like Im clueless and I rejoice in the frustration I see when its been 10 minutes and I just laugh...
Agreed bro
@@JustindunnItAgain considering ignorance is literally/defined as ‘not knowing’ ...telling someone you know something wouldn’t be ignorant 🙄

I don't
these lesson really help me to learn improve my vocabulary
and i hope i can speak english confidently and without rambling
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.
Him: "Stop saying I Know, it ends the conversation".
Me: *It's almost like that's the point*
for real 🤣🤣
I Know.
It is also kind of a blunt and sometimes rude way to end it, it appears like you are disinterested and annoyed by the speaker, especially if you interrupt them. Theres plenty of better ways to say "I know" that are more polite and don't kill the conversation.
@@kevinzhu6417 i think it went over your head
@@kevinzhu6417 I myself am disinterred and annoyed by the speaker. People don't need to learn how to speak properly. People need to learn how to fuck off.
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!
I will do this myself
You should have asked him right there and then.
Did he yell something like "Bullshit, I can't hear you, Private Klutch!"
@@coolbreeze3793 …this person was brave enough to share how they improved their lexicon…and…you came in with assumptions on what era did they serve, assumed they went to war, and subjectively gave your perspective on said war(s)…

"You should stop saying I know"
Monica: I know!!
The end homework: 1. I appreciate the information. 2. I mixed up which drink went to whom.
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.
Good observation, and definitely something I could work on. Spot on.
We cannot assume innocence in whoever is receiving the “I know.” Sometimes people genuinely bring ignorance and bias into their interactions and insult others with disclosures of very rudimentary concepts. I.e. the white guy in the room who constantly assumes minorities need them to explain things. Reminds me of the time I did jury duty and the one blonde haired, blue eyed male in the room felt the need to repeat the concept of whether something was proven beyond the shadow of a doubt while everyone was merely thinking through the case. The judge shoved the concept down our throats beforehand and everyone was clear but he designated himself the one to keep explaining this and that in spite of anyone giving him any proof it wasn’t understood. The frequent “I knows” he received was him being spared the verbiage he genuinely deserved in that situation.
Literally me, sadly...
ANYTIME I have ever heard an individual say "I know" after hearing an explanation or data this has been the case. You often see this in the medical field with patients (who have done their own research and "THEY KNOW!") As soon as I see this response I immediately see they are often extremely ignorant on the topic. This is something that medical providers can very much relate to. -Dr. Ryan
Couldn't have said that any better. You're absolutely correct!
At my job, had to instruct someone on the proper way to use some heavy duty machinery, for day in day out usage. Young man thought he knew everything... and knew absolutely nothing !
During course of the day, I'd point out his weak points and what he was doing wrong. I'd always hear, "I know, I know!" and he'd go back to doing "wrong" again. Finally, I said to him... "listen... we're all grown. We don't like being told what to do. But the fact of the matter is, if you knew what you were doing they wouldn't have placed you with me. So just listen."
He'd listen for all of 4 minutes, and wound up doing wrong in the process. Goofing up again....
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
I agree
i bet u have watched "stop saying very" XD

How you know you won’t get someone like this in your life to teach you anything ? That was a broad statement

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 RUclips channel related to tech English! I am really grateful for your iniciative and for your life!
Somehow my mind was refreshed that if you know you know and this dude doing a great job literally u know....
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.
It's also interesting to see how something you do know about is explained by another person. Can make you re-evaluate what you think you do know.
My friend used to try to explain everything and it felt like a condescending lecture but I understand “going out of their way to help me”
I don’t always do that but I do sometimes. If I truly “know” what another person is telling me (and I don’t particularly want to hear it again lol), I’ll say “right, right”. Or “got it”.
I do the same. Are you a Capricorn?

l think it’s because of the teacher
Same idk how we got here it just popped up in my recommended and didn’t disappoint
I hear what you're saying.
And also because you can choose the lesson
You know, we know "how" to speak it meanwhile we don't "know" it . We need to learn grammar, and difference about some things we never thought to need to learn about it
I know, is sadly my favorite word when acknowledging, “I understand”. 😅😅 thanks for the video!
I never thought about " I know " before this lesson very informative.
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.
fr like i idk why people always are saying like it’s not professional like to me i think everybody should know that just a full sentence is way better then like being all in between and awkward you know

@@karolinapatrycjasobczyk163 Since when did someone finding the phrase, “I know” annoying, have to do with religion? In some cases, saying, “I know” means that you don’t care about what the other person is talking about; basically you just want them to stop talking because you don’t care. I believe that’s the point of this video.
Yes true i find “i know” a bit rude and annoying my friends do this to me all the time, now i dont wanna talk anymore bc of it....
How does "I know" sound annoying? Wow people like YOU are annoying lol. You must wake up looking for something to complain about.

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.

@@ethanlargo1150 I agree Son,That sounds REALLY good. Maybe TOO good, is all. Correct your English skills. But always be yourself
i like how everybody love him and give him the respect he deserves
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 can’t believe I found your channel. Thank you for your classes!!! Greetings from Mexico.
“I pick up what you’re putting down” has always been my go to and it’s uncommon
I'm hitting what you're pitching works great.
I'm picking up
“i’m smelling what you’re wafting” is another classic
Really??....are you a homeless person??
mine is i’m catching what you’re throwing
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.
This guy speak English as first language but he isn't English.
I know
I know
@@snd7622 As are many English speaking people. Do you have a point?
Now I know. Knowing is half the battle. GI JOE!!!!!!
I know this video is a year old but I’m glad I watched it, helped me a ton!
Man you're such a good teacher, I'm blown away
This is good shit, I do tend to say "I know" a lot and RUclips is here calling me out lol. Thanks for a great video!
I'm saying these words multiple times every day: "I Know" "Crazy" and "Perfect"
At the point that I'm obsessed trying to stop saying them, without success!
fax lmfao

My solution to the, "I know" thing I used to do when I was younger is to instead say, "you're right". Works 100% of the time without offending anyone.
I know!
I know!
You’re right
@@TheHitman3000 you’re right
@@SaiKhot and you’re right also
You're a natural Mr. James

James, would you be able to create a video explaining to us, how to not say “Like” so many times during a conversation?
Yeees it would be great !
Yeah it would

To give you/provide you with an example...

Depends on what you want to say
Even a British citizen I’ve got terrible vocabulary it’s really nice you do this, your other video on saying ‘very’ too often… UGHH I do that too much it’s frustrating 😂
