Before i started writing my very first story, believe me i watched almost all of your videos!. This really helped make my story more colorful!. I was able to gather more readers and supporters, thanks Benjamin!
Thanks Jim. Storytelling is an ancient tradition - nothing beats sitting round a campfire... There are stories from our own experiences but it's also good to learn some folk stories etc.
One of the best techniques and tricks regarding Storytelling in the whole RUclips channel. After spending 3days got this amazing video. Thank you for your contribution to my life.
I'm glad to find another one teacher which speak British English, because my pronunciation is British, albeit I understand the two accents. Your classes are brilliant!
My mind urges to put a comment even if I haven't finished the lesson yet. Thank you🙏, you're an amazing teacher (and you seem to have a strong background on your side 😊) and also with a brilliant accent. How can I expect more? Again thanks, keep going 💪❤️
I really enjoyed listening to the teacher tell such a great story , it makes learning so much more fun ! Sincerely , a learning student that tries to make the grade and if I take better notes like these . I believe more in myself . I watch a lot of different teachers on this learning channel because they really do care about students learning for the better grades . I seem to always learn something from this teacher's learning videos too . Thanks again , to this teacher for making story telling seem a bit more easier with organization and structuring ideas is what I learned from watching this video and I am going to try to constantly use them as they are organized and displayed on the learning board . A new learning tool I shall constantly try and apply to my learning objectives in reading and writing . I am a struggling learning student just trying to make better grades . Therefore I would like to say this teacher deserves five stars to for teaching with humor and care for students such as myself who tries and wants to make better grades , and if I keep watching learning videos like these . My confidence gets better with believing I can make better grades with learning techniques that is also what are great learning tools . Thanks again for the fun with learning videos 🌟🌟 🌟🌟🌟
Thanks again I really enjoyed this and also thank so much responding to my last message. I so wish I had a English teacher like you when I was at School. I went to School during 70-80's and I am also dyslexic, I still do struggle with gramma but not creativity. I do write as I am not going let dyslexia stop me. So I have written flash fiction, short stories. Your videos are so much fun.
You hope that after telling a story, someone might make a comment about it or ask you a question. If not, get the attention on someone else in the group by asking them a question or something.
This was awesome Benjamin! I had been looking for a video like this for months and now I've found a great teacher doing a video on it! BUT ONE QUESTION, how I can learn the kind of words you used to exaggerate? (grid-lock, tearing my hair out, tearing down the hard shoulder, slamming [on the accelerator])
That comes with experience and exposure to language but I would suggest that on the engvid website you are concentrating on vocabulary and expressions.
Just FYI ..took the quiz after, but messing with my score is a pop up box that says: you forgot to answer even though my answer is sitting there. Sometimes, this box skips a question and that messes with points also. Thought you would like to know. Love your videos SHOW NOT TELL, and this one are the only two I have seen so far. Am a new Subscriber.
Thank U..Benjamin..I now have the elements,as u put it, to tell a story,but how do I tell a story,just out of the blue..tht is something else i need to master,as well as all the things u talk abt in this video..Oh, i like the different slangs,ur country has for things....ty
How can you make sure you have stories that relate to 'usual' topics that people talk about? If your socially ackward or have a bad memory it can be difficult to always have the right stories? Is there a polite way that you can change what someone has been talking about to match the topic that you have a story about?
Hi Mark, thanks for this question. I think it's a bit unnatural to prepare stories for social situations but it's good to reflect after on how the storytelling went - which bits were people really listening to? Try and remember the funny stuff that happens to you...
hello mr. Benjamin. I watched the video and started practicing storytelling by writing those down. I have a humble request. can you check and critique the stories i have been practicing writing over email because my storytelling is very long winded and boring. i have nobody to turn to to check for improvement. thanks. - english literature major who wants to be able to write and narrate good stories in future. PS waiting for your reply.
Hi - this video is aimed at spoken stories. Telling a story in conversation in person is more difficult than writing down a story as you have to adapt to your audience. I think this video has some useful premises in, just try and experiment with them. Also remember that stories should emerge naturally - you don't go round to someone's house with the intention of telling a specific story.
Hi Benjamin Would you like to answer my question, if someone says " how do him know " Is correct grammar used in this sentence ? And what do you understand by this ?
@@engvidBenjamin No, you don't understand my point, which is my language In that, if we show respect towards someone, then we use plural for that. But here for a human if I have to use plural Like if I want to say that "how do they know this", how will I say this sentence. Since I can't use "they" for a single person. Is there also any such rule in the English language that if I want to show respect towards someone, then we should add something specific in it , Like plural is used in my language I speak. 😄 Be sure to answer. I think to say that how do "he know this " is unformal.
I'm 55 years old and I'm still learning how to tell a good story.
Thanks for the video, I really appreciate it.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Not sure, sorry.
I don’t think you are really using a microphone
Superb Benjie!
Thanks for watching, David
It would be great fun to have your James Bond wife tell this story they way she experienced it 😎
She's a far better storyteller than I am!
@benjamin - looking forward to the video 😁
Well done, love your lessons
Thanks Jeffrey

It should come naturally out of conversation - it depends what you are talking about.
😊 intellectual.
Not sure about that! The aim of storytelling is rarely to be intellectual, but I appreciate the compliment.
How can you make sure you have stories that relate to 'usual' topics that people talk about? If your socially ackward or have a bad memory it can be difficult to always have the right stories? Is there a polite way that you can change what someone has been talking about to match the topic that you have a story about?

Mark Hallam I have bad memories too😭I often can’t remember my experiences to talk abt
Can you make a video about how to know what a story or a movie is trying to say to us?
I've gotta big problems with this part of reading books😢😢😢😢😢😢
Your wife is awesome 🤩
Yup!
Thanks, when will you upload video next
18th of june i think

Glad you enjoyed it.
If you start a language training center in the capital of India, you're gonna roll in money.
Thanks Rajiv. One day... :)
@@engvidBenjamin if we just inform a lot of people about his channel. that should do half the job, for the time being
you’re awesome
Not sure about that. Us Brits like to be modest :)
Amazing how they dont teach this in school instead of some of the other rubbish they teach
There are lots of things we have to figure out, like how to change the tyre on a car wheel...
