  • 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!

    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.

    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.

    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.
