- 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 RUclips?
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!

Dear Bob....I am from Saudi Arabia and am planning to Study Master in English literature...and yes i feel sometimes I can not understand native speakers even though I studied English for 4 years ....
I don’t want to watch other youtuber😂😂😂😂😂
i appreciate your method go ahead
I have heard several videos and it is the first teacher that I understand perfectly .. thanks Bob
from Venezuela
Hey Bob! I agree 100% with you, and I tell you that you are not only an English teacher, you are a truly educator! God bless you! Enjoy your family! Big hug!
EDUCATOR!!!
Thank you very much! 🙂👍
Hi. Bob! God bless you! I have nothing more to say
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian good
Hi Bob I really like your English teaching
reasons:
no idioms used
fewer contractions used
fewer inside jokes used
full sentences used
Agree
And....The right pronunciation of sounds

I find it easy to understand the videos. My students love to watch the videos as well! I can tell them thousands of times that learning English is important. However, watching the videos helps them that much better :)
Also slow, deliberate articulation.
Bob the Canadian speaks how a good elementary school teacher would speak, very clearly but without treating viewers as stupid. As a native English speaker, he's very calming to listen to.
I like watching you, Bob! Respect for educating all of us, people from around the world... from Russia! 🇷🇺👍🤠
Well, Canadian speaks slowly and clearly.I love canadians. they are soft spoken.❤️
I agree with you. I can understand easier Canadian people than whoever native English speaker.
I am froom Brazil and watch yuor videos but I anderstend little because english is weak
Yuor video has slow end paused conversation, graet for length
👍
Yeah I agree with that, but over the phone most of the people speak fast. I was involved in a conversation over the phone with someone speaking cockney accent.. I couldn't understand a thing..😐
I hope Canadians are kind to you! 🙂👍
Many thanks again for you vdo,I can listening easy ,now i pratic englisg but so hard,i will try.
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.
I try my best to don't use slang, but it can be good to learn. 🙂👍
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thank you a lot,Bob.Most of people who teach English pronounce every syllable and letter(I guess it is to let other people whose native language is not English to understand you).And that's why it is very easy to understand what they are saying.What subject are you teaching?
I have difficult when the people talk me but i understand you!!thank
Hello Bob ! I am a French teacher of English. I come from Madagascar but I live in France. I have been living here since 1992. Sometimes, I give lessons to Malagasy students who live in Madagascar on Zoom or other applications. From time to time, I send them some of your links and they love them. They have told me that you are easy to understand. Thank you for sharing !
He seems to be a good teacher and a honest man
Hi Bob... you have no idea how much yours videos are helping me . Thank u so much...

I'm a brazilian teacher who share your videos among my students and friends. You rock!!! Send hugs to Brazil, if it's possible. Thank you!!!
So true. I understand everything that you say, but when i hear other natives, it's so half hard. I'm from Brazil !
this title really defines me!!!! Bob is the best! thank you teacher 💙💚
I'm trying to speak English very well that my dream.
the first time i've totally understand a native speaker. lol thankyou so much, teacher.
That’s Awesome🎉! You guys teachers are incredible, all of you know exactly how English learners need and think about it
Hi Bob. I'm Korean and this is the first time to write comment on your channel. I thank you every time for your good contents and I feel as if I'm traveling in Canada nature or street with you. Yes, your pronunciation is so clear to get it, and I feel you have thought effective English learning very deeply. I recommend this channel to my friends and colleagues whenever I get a chance. There are so many channel which gives help to learn English in RUclips, but I would say this is the best to learn English. And I feel your face, smile and voice is so friendly.
Hi Bob! I agree with you. I always get frustrated when I watch the BBC or CNN TV News Programs. If I understand 30% of what they say, that's too much. Thanks for your tips and lessons.
Hi
Where r u from?
You are such an honest person, saying watch other RUclipsr's video to improve English. Salute you. . .
When it's true, it should be said!
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian you are Mz
You are the best, Bob! Thank you for being so nice to us! God bless you!
when he said “i think you can understand me, that’s awesome”
me : 🥺…🥺🥺🥺…….
I can understand 70% what you say, i from vietnamese, but i living in country so i just learning english through video of youtube, i can not speak because i learn english by myself, no one can speak with me, that's so hard for me to learning english, my dream is to be a teacher but it will not come true
And also some student include me ask themselves, " why, i can understand other people speak but they sometimes dont understand when i speak?".
You speak so clearly , Bob ! Hugs from Brazil !
the place where you record the videos is just amazing.
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.
Besides that, you show be an honest, confident and a nice person. Ty for lessons.
The most important thing that you mentioned is we are getting used to understand you : If we’d listened to other people as much as we listened to you ! We were able to understand them too
THAT WAS AWESOME, BOB! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
I like to hear your voice, because I can understand you. Thank you... From Thailand

jj-vlog Korean. It’s fantastix.
Hello! I'm from Brazil. I'm learning too much with you. Thanks for your videos.
Your video is really easy to understand. I appreciate it always.
Thanks Bob for everything!!! greetings from Netherlands !👍
You’re a naturally gifted teacher as well Bob. Big hello from Manchester UK 🇬🇧
hmmm... mu n city. i watch every games of this two giant clubs.
almost off indonesian like me struggle to catch the british english speaking from lampard or rooney or kane etc coz they speak unclear and tend to lower their voice.
Thanks for the video, Bob the Canadian.
Thankyou Bob, you're so great and i learn of you kind of location in abroud.
This is my question also ! Thanks Bob
I can understand you Bob... I'm learning English since January, by the way, good videos
You are one of the best teacher I’ve ever seen ❤️
The best teacher!! 👏👏👏 Thank you so much!
I decided to learn English with you ❤
Thank you, I practice listening and learn from you. 🙏
You amazing
I understand everything what you say. I'm from Sudan
Thanks a lot Bob the Canadian.
I always thank for you. I came to Canada with my two daughter on January in London .
Excellent explanation!!! Would you please make more videos about new phrasal verbs, but the same way you taught the previous ones?
I love "train your ears". Since Some of English native speakers who come from different states of a country have different dialects and accents. This has become one of the challenges too. Thanks Bob.
you are an excellent teacher
That" s why you are really good teacher. God bless you .
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.
Keep it up❤
It’s soooo relaxing to watch your videos, Bob. You seem to be a very calm and kind person ☺️ In addition, your garden landscape as a background to your videos is amazing, thank you!!
Hello friends 🙏💕 van
Thanks Bob. You're a good teacher.
You are so clear to pronounce the words, thanks.
You haven't mentioned the MAIN reason: in your lessons you basically use essential VOCABULARY only. But in real life we have to understand the rich vocab: low frequency words, vernacular, slang and all this stuff.
Very true.
Well, he said that, we need to watch a tv show or something like that
coz all youtube teachers know their viewers or market very well: ESL students.
no english native speakers watch the lesson like this wkwkwk.
Your background is so relaxing ❣️
you are a great teacher~~
It’s a pleasure to hear you and understand you so well. I’m from Mexico...
Nice video, good job!! Another aspect that I noticed is that sometimes I have a hard time understanding some native speakers because they tend to not open their mouth and speak clearly enough to be understood. I'm native Brazilian and when speaking Portuguese, Brazilians tend to open more the mouth and be more clear.
Maybe that's why for me it's a bit hard understanding some native speakers even though I've been learning English for a few years.
Dear Bob , thanks a lot for your channel! I hope your videos will help me to improve my listening skills 👍
You're voice is so clear Bob the Canadian
That's why you are the best
Bob, Im really happy to having subtitle in your video, I received a big help due to subtitle, really glad to you.
Hello Bob, I'm your big fan and watching your all videos it's really helping a lot to improve my english. Thank you Bob 😊
From vietnamese with love to you ! I wish i could learn your accent
Thanks, Bob Sir. I totally agree with you.
