My first language it’s Spanish, I’m learning English and I could understand this video 100% without subtitles, but when I’m watching a tv show or a series I just can’t understand without subtitles, I always turn on the subtitles in English and I understand almost everything. I found your channel now and I am loving it
I'm fluent English speaker from Pakistan and have basic knowledge of Spanish but same problem here. I cannot understand Spanish spoken in movies or any series but I can understand random person speaking.
This needs one huge point to be made: modern movies and TV have both ATROCIOUS audio mixing, while also suffering from actors and directors who think mumbling their words is somewhat more "realistic", resulting in unintelligible dialogue - even for the native speakers. Watch movies or shows from the past, up until the late 90s and the dialogue will be so much clearer you won't believe it.
Im so glad cause five month ago i couldn't watch series without subtitles, but now i can do it. Learn English is the toughest thing ever 😂 im trying to improve my English yet.
I'm Spanish speaker and I can understand Trump's speaches or NGeo documentaries and even David Chappelle's jokes, but I'm no able to understand a word of any movie or series I still need subtitles like any regular non English speaker.
This's really encogare me. I used to think my English is not enought to understand movies or series cause When I tryna to watch a movie I can't do it without subtitles.
You just need to start learning from what u used to. If its Friends as well then go on. I remember one of my first sitcom I started watching subtitled and it was HIMYM and I do encourage others start from tha show cuz's actually so good and the characters development its tremendous
Thanks a lot. That was so nice for me. I understood more then 90% and I am happy because of this. You have a great speaking level and cool pronunciation. Thanks once more and have a good day 😉
I grew up in Canada, English is my native language and even native speakers do need subtitles sometimes. Some actors just mumble the words, or there is a lot of background noise like explosions, shootings, etc. Besides that, some dialects are really hard to understand. Game of Thrones for instance...it's almost impossible for North Americans to watch it without subtitles because of the accent of the actors. I don't have trouble understanding British people when I talk to them...but, British movies are hard to understand without subtitles. Ask any American and they will say the can't understand all words in a movie.
I am from Brazil so I speak portuguese but we can't understand 100% portugal movies or interviews, we need to pay atention to understand everything or to watch it with subtitles
Because she improved her diction, normal people don't exercise as much as her. People mumble and chew words, they have dialects and slang. Actors should have good diction, they imitate normal people for artistic purpose.

I can understand roughly 85% of TV shows of my interest without subtitles. Maybe it could even peek at 95% depending on the subject, accents, my mental state, but I always keep them on, cos' why not? Sometimes I wonder whether it makes me rely on them too much, but whenever I go watching an English movie in a Finnish movie theater, I get a reality check. I understand perfectly enough without subtitles. Missing a few words here and there doesn't impact my understanding. On top of that I would zone out for a second or two even in my native language, so I consider that normal. Subtitles in my case - English. I never put them in my native language, it messes with my brain. 😂

Sometimes according to the way how American actors rapidly pronounce words and phrases it seems to me that even native speakers cant comprehend it at least for the first time🥲😂Thank you for such an interesting and necessary topic🧡🧡🧡
I heard from some Americans that some phrases they tend to say quickly. They understand them more through the intonation of the sound than the sound of the words themselves.
It's so important to realise that you're not some kind of "failure" because you need to use subtitles. Movies are hard for the reasons your mentioned (fast speech, slang, accents, cultural references)! There are times when I would have loved to have had subtitles when watching movies on video in French. But unfortunately cassettes didn't have that option! I totally agree with watching something simpler and building up to watching movies later. And thanks for saying that "Friends" is not suitable for beginners! It's not as hard as certain movies or TV shows that are dramas, but it's not the first thing you should watch.

Hi Veronika, you are a very true and honest youtuber who tells the subtitles is helpful when learning a language, and focus only one accent helps you learn quickly and easily. And also, FRIRNDS is not that easy to a beginnner! You tell all the truth! Love your videos and hope I can improve my English!
In my case, Friends was the first TV show I watched in English. At that moment it was with subtitles in Spanish. So, I paid attention to the things they were saying and the subtitle. I didn't know how to write the sentences but I started to understand new things in English. Over time I guess I started to get used to their accents and I was able to watch the whole TV show without subtitles. That TV show helped me A LOT to learn English :)... we all have different processes to learn another language and thank you for sharing yours! We keep learning!
Yes! Me too. When I wached the first ep, had many difficult, but, now that my English is getting better, I can understand the whole ep without the subtitles! My listening is so much better right now. I'm proud of myself, cause I'm learning alone and I'm doing very well at this point. And I'm from Brasil 🇧🇷
I honestly can understand English perfectly without subtitles and it's my 3rd language.. Understanding takes time and it's just part of learning process .. If you can't understand without sub just put them and if you can't understand English subtitles put your native language sub on for a while till you are confident.. What's really hard about any language is to fix your pronunciation and practice the speaking part.. Understanding it's quite easy in my opinion because you can solo it but to speak you need to interact with people that speaks that language
I didn't grow up in an English-speaking environment either, but I can already speak English more confidently and smoothly than ever before. My first language is Spanish and I'm still learning English owing to my strong preference and love for the language. We language learners should always remember that language learning is an enjoyable, captivating, and endless journey, not a destination because there's always something new to learn, take in, and keep forever. Any language learner just needs to get loads of exposure to the language, so that we can potentially speak like native speakers depending on the accent we're focusing on. I believe that's completely achievable, rewarding, and fulfilling as if we were born in an English-speaking country so that we can understand at least most native speakers no matter what kind of content we're consuming or the real-life situation we're involved in. I've decided to only focus on English because it's the language I love and I'm interested in the most. My brain's capacity for learning additional languages is certainly limited, and I think I wouldn't be able to manage more than two languages effectively, but I hope I'm wrong. I would love to pick up Italian pretty soon, it's a relatively easy language for a Spanish speaker to learn, so it shouldn't be very hard for me. Keep up the great work on your language learning journey, Veronika. We always struggle to learn anything new like language, it's part of the learning process, and I guess there's nothing wrong with most of us at least. Thanks so much for sharing it all with us ❤😊.

On my side, I don't care abt American, Australian or English, or Irish accent . I see, they're all using some different words and each region or nation uses different accents, but anyway , all what we need to learn, is to speak a language, that would be called " English in general" . So we get on learning and listening on all we find in web, attending courses with notidentical teachers, and all of them are super clever. When one in the word decided that " ENGLISH" had should been " the INTERNATIONAL SPOKEN LANGUAGE " , that's why all of us started improving ENGLISH , no matter the original accent, but just write and speaking, whatever.
an effecient method of learning a foreign language seems to be watching the same movie/show several times: step 1: watch a movie dubbed in your native language step 2: watch the same movie with original language subtitles step 3: watch the same movie in original without subtitles if your skill level is B, you may feel comfortable to skip step 1 if your skill level is C, you may feel comfortable to skip steps 1 and 2
Te voy a hacer practicar un poco ;) El tema que jode principalmente a la hora de mirar una serie no es tanto la velocidad sino la cultura, ya que muchas veces no es que no los haya entendido, más bien simple y llanamente utilizaron vocabulario o frases propias de su cultura que no conozco o que tal vez ni siquiera tengan sentido fuera de contexto, lo cual dificulta su aprendizaje. Lo mejor que puede uno hacer es pausar en cuanto se escucha una palabra o frase desconocida, anotarla, decirla en voz alta un par de veces, rebobinar y ver la escena fluida para tratar de encontrar ese hueco faltante. De ahí en más es ir incorporando, pero seguirá sucediendo inclusive independientemente del idioma, personalmente he visto series en español donde no he entendido lo que decían porque la jerga era de calle y desconocía un montón de términos particulares de ese ambiente. Lo que más me está sirviendo hasta la actualidad es consumir puro contenido en inglés diariamente, manteniendo mi comprensión al día. Leer, escuchar personas normales haciendo acciones cotidianas es lo que más me ayuda. Obviously I purposely used vocabulary that's typical within my region, to emphasize the point I'm making, and if you understood everything I said, good for you!
I've been using English every day for like 15+ years, watch movies and shows, play video games completely in English, talk to friends in English (non-natives though). I don't live in an English speaking country. I understand RUclips videos without any subtitles, but when it comes to shows and movies... well, I still struggle a lot. I need English subs and I dont know how to fix that...
Something nobody talks about is that english tv and media is diffrent to russian. Movies in russian, both filmed originally and dubbed, are much clearer and louder. Russian voice in a movie will always be louder than any effects in the background. People use a lot less slang and there is only 1 accent. Also whenever something is dubbed, they often translate it in a way for russians to understand easier. They won't use the words that were actually used but choose similar words that everyone knows. Russian localisers are afraid that the audience may not understand something. It's just a huge difference in media culture.
I’ve been always surrounded by English, so my learning in the idiom was fast, but my problem with it is the grammar, I love listening English and my listening skills are great, although, I also need grammar to the test, right? How can I improve it?
I must say...u have got great command over the language.....the way u pronounce words is really clear....I from India and even I can understand it properly
This is weird, I'm not able to watch a movie for teenagers without subtitles but I'm watching this video without subtitles and I can understand almost all the words
To fix this problem listen to songs, because songs have a fast pace, unlike movies or everyday conversation, and when you get used to the fast pace, the slow pace will be easy for you.
First reason is theres a ton of accents among actors, American, European, Australian and those that english is not theyr first language, then theres the ones that actually dont know how to speak properlly so everyone can understand what they are saying, and the last one i can think of is when conversations are based around context the watcher doesent have any knowledge about.
Thanks a lot you Miss Veronica. I watch your contents every single day. It would be benifical for me. I take motivation of you. That I never give up learning english .Love you from Uzbekistan. ❤ спасибо больше
Okey i have a question. Fistly i heard something like this. When we watch any video with subtitles, our eyes is working(like reading) not our ears and thats why our listening skill doesn't improve :/ Is that true? If it is so, what should i do?
It's the first time I can watch a video in English without subtitles and understand what he's saying! You have became in my favorite RUclipsr☺️ (I’m a Spanish native and your videos help me so much)
I've been living in America for almost 4 years and up to this day I still watch some TV shows with subtitles on. It depends on the movie and the show, PG movies are easier to understand, R and NC-17 movies are harder sometimes. The Boys for example, which is my favorite TV show, I've only watched it in English and was able to understand most of what was being said, but when it came to Butcher, I couldn't understand a word that guy said.
Im an Indonesian people who try to learning English. Sometimes when i watch some movies, videos, or maybe show, i never use my native language cause i can practice English in some movies like pronunciation and spelling when i thrn on the English subtitles. Like i watched this video sometimes i turn on the English subtitle to more understanding the spelling and pronunciation. But I will tryto learn English til i can watch movies and videos without qny subtitle completely.
Я уже давно понял что учиться понимать фильмы я буду на последней стадии изучения языка, как самой сложной. Сейчас я нахожусь на стадии "понимание RUclips блогеров и худ. литературы в оригинале"🙂
я вообще для начала решил пересмотреть все мультики на английском языке, которые я смотрел в детстве , из 20 минутной серии того же скуби ду понимаю 70-80 процентов,но плохо то , что я некоторое не могу услышать с первого раза, приходится несколько раз пересматривать
Я просто поставил себе цель, что с определённого момента смотрю всё в оригинале. Нетфликс, фильмы, ютюб и т.д. Сначала юзал сабы долгое время, потом стал намеренно их отключать. Да, трудно иногда. Иногда прям очень трудно. Но это даёт плоды. Т.к. живу не в РФ сейчас, в кинотеатрах все фильмы в оригинале без сабов, хожу и с удовольствием смотрю. Однако процент понимания диалогов в фильме очень зависит от того, какой это фильм. Как пример, недавно смотрел "Retribution", понятно было около 90% речи. Потом посмотрел "The Creator" и там главный герой говорит с типичным "ниггepcким" акцентом и очень быстро. С большим трудом улавливал от силы 60% речи. Но так или иначе, очень рад прогрессу. Вспоминая как раньше без сабов вообще почти ничего не мог разобрать и очень расстраивался из-за этого
Couldn't agree more. I feel pretty chill while watching videos on RUclips in English and can even do other things simultaneously not watching at the screen (not all the time though), but when it goes to films and shows I find myself completely lost without subtitles. The most freaking out experience for me was "No country for old men" which appeared to be a quintessention of unfamiliar to me Texas dialect and accent. It took me not more than 20 minutes to give up trying to understand what characters are talking about _even with English subtitles_
En español tenemos muchos dialectos y eso hace que cada pais de latinoamerica, a pesar de hablar el mismo idioma, tenga slangs que para unos significan una cosa mientras para otros otra. Es un enredo, a veces ni entre latinos nos entendemos😂 Asi que animos, sigue esforzandote y veras como pronto hablaras fluido en español tambien. Saludos y exelente video❤
No sé cuál es tu lengua natal, pero tú inglés suena muy fresco, entendí completamente tu vídeo sin la necesidad de traducir, me parece un inglés con acento que trasciende del español, tal vez por la familiaridad del acento lo entendí mejor. Congratulations, and keep working🇨🇴
I have learned English for about 5 years. I like studying English because, I believe that I can broaden my horizons if I am good at English. Also I will be able to enjoy your videos more than now! All your videos raise my motivation ❤ thank you

When I saw that you are from Russia, I got shocked 😂 You have amazing accent, and firstly I thought that you’re native speaker) I wish you good luck and I believe, that I can speak the same🤞
First let me say, thanks for uploading a great video! After watching hundreds of videos on youtube by linguist and polyglots, this is some of the best information I have heard. I am impressed by the content in this video. Your advice makes so much sense. It's practical, concise and revelatory. Your ability to communicate and your depth of your knowledge in teaching a foreign language is really refreshing.
Я наоборот решил для себя, что при изучении языка абсолютно нормально сталкиваться и не обращать сильного внимания на незнакомые слова при потреблении контента. Мы же будучи детьми едва ли понимали больше четверти происходящего, почти все узнавалось контекстно, так и будучи взрослым может сработать контекстное усвоение информации. Ну и да, сабы не зло, носители слишком сильно адаптируют английский под себя, не носителей ещё больше, а там и акценты разные подтягиваются, так что сабы помогают. Дополнительно они помогают узнавать различные слова, которые на слух никак сходу не перевести, но видя их конструкцию, помня контекст и сеттинг происходящего, можно понять значение слова.
As a mexican i think is really cool that you’re learning spanish 😊plus i can’t believe that you’re not an english native speaker, you’re english is so good!
Mi idioma es el portugués, pero me recuerdo que cuando estaba aprendiendo Español, no veía absolutamente nada con subtítulos y no porque me iba a ayudar, sino porque no existía la opción de activar los subtítulos. Hoy soy muy agradecida por eso porque el proceso de hablar y comprender después de un cierto tiempo fue tan natural que si me preguntas cuándo empecé a comprender al 100% no podría decírtelo con certeza.
Yo quiero aprender portugués de la manera que aprendiste español. ¿Me recomendarías series, películas, autores, cantantes y demás contenido de nativos del portugués?
@@jonathandaviq Bueno, vi muchas telenovelas mexicanas y sigo haciendo eso jaja, pero me encanta escuchar la radio, seguía programas de chismes porque se aprende un lenguaje menos estandarizado que el de las telenovelas... y estudié un poco de gramática. ¡cada día! Si quieres hacer lo mismo en portugués, te recomiendo comenzar con Netflix o RUclips, porque ¡tienen mucho contenido gratuito! En cuanto a cantantes, recomiendo el género MPB.

Cause she is talking normally, at the same pace and it makes it kinda easier to understand
I understood everything you say but when a try to speak i get stuck?
Hi Veronika, you are a very true and honest youtuber who tells the subtitles is helpful when learning a language, and focus only one accent helps you learn quickly and easily. And also, FRIRNDS is not that easy to a beginnner! You tell all the truth! Love your videos and hope I can improve my English!
Yes, you can. You just need to talk to someone every single day.
In my case, Friends was the first TV show I watched in English. At that moment it was with subtitles in Spanish. So, I paid attention to the things they were saying and the subtitle. I didn't know how to write the sentences but I started to understand new things in English. Over time I guess I started to get used to their accents and I was able to watch the whole TV show without subtitles. That TV show helped me A LOT to learn English :)... we all have different processes to learn another language and thank you for sharing yours! We keep learning!
Me too, Friends was my Duolingo fr
Yes! Me too. When I wached the first ep, had many difficult, but, now that my English is getting better, I can understand the whole ep without the subtitles! My listening is so much better right now. I'm proud of myself, cause I'm learning alone and I'm doing very well at this point. And I'm from Brasil 🇧🇷
@@fernandademenezesgama8871 it's great to know that!
Waooo really ? I'm going to watch
I honestly can understand English perfectly without subtitles and it's my 3rd language.. Understanding takes time and it's just part of learning process .. If you can't understand without sub just put them and if you can't understand English subtitles put your native language sub on for a while till you are confident.. What's really hard about any language is to fix your pronunciation and practice the speaking part.. Understanding it's quite easy in my opinion because you can solo it but to speak you need to interact with people that speaks that language
Yeah, I agree with u
I didn't grow up in an English-speaking environment either, but I can already speak English more confidently and smoothly than ever before. My first language is Spanish and I'm still learning English owing to my strong preference and love for the language. We language learners should always remember that language learning is an enjoyable, captivating, and endless journey, not a destination because there's always something new to learn, take in, and keep forever. Any language learner just needs to get loads of exposure to the language, so that we can potentially speak like native speakers depending on the accent we're focusing on. I believe that's completely achievable, rewarding, and fulfilling as if we were born in an English-speaking country so that we can understand at least most native speakers no matter what kind of content we're consuming or the real-life situation we're involved in. I've decided to only focus on English because it's the language I love and I'm interested in the most. My brain's capacity for learning additional languages is certainly limited, and I think I wouldn't be able to manage more than two languages effectively, but I hope I'm wrong. I would love to pick up Italian pretty soon, it's a relatively easy language for a Spanish speaker to learn, so it shouldn't be very hard for me. Keep up the great work on your language learning journey, Veronika. We always struggle to learn anything new like language, it's part of the learning process, and I guess there's nothing wrong with most of us at least. Thanks so much for sharing it all with us ❤😊.
Oh wow, as a native English speaker, I initially thought you were also a native speaker learning another language. Your pronunciation is amazing.

- Veronika shares her personal experience of facing this challenge while learning English and how she overcame it.
2. **Speed and Pronunciation**:
- Native speakers in movies and TV shows speak at a natural conversational pace, which can be too fast for learners.
- Veronika's solution: Initially, she stopped watching challenging shows and turned to educational RUclips videos to improve her listening skills.
3. **Use of Idioms and Slang**:
- TV shows and movies often use idioms and slang that aren't taught in traditional language classes.
- Veronika's solution: She used subtitles in the same language as the show to understand and learn new idioms and slang.
4. **Lingopie Platform**:
- Veronika introduces and recommends the Lingopie platform, designed for language learners to watch movies and TV shows with interactive subtitles.
- The platform offers instant translations, built-in flashcards, and quizzes to reinforce vocabulary.
5. **Accents and Dialects**:
- Different regional accents and dialects can make comprehension challenging.
- Veronika's solution: Initially, she focused on mastering one accent (e.g., American English) before exposing herself to others.
6. **Cultural Context and References**:
- Movies and TV shows often include cultural references specific to the country of production.
- Veronika's approach: She watched popular shows, movies, and listened to music from the target culture to familiarize herself with cultural references.
7. **Conclusion**:
- Veronika emphasizes the importance of patience and continuous learning.
- She encourages viewers to try Lingopie for language learning through movies and shows.
The video provides insights and practical solutions for language learners facing challenges in understanding foreign content.
Thank you!
Point 4 for me is tricky. Was Lingopie really helping her understand English or is something she is adding because it is sponsoring?
Easy with chat gpt
¡Mucho ánimo con tu español, Veronika! Es duro aprender un nuevo idioma pero merece la pena. El saber no ocupa lugar.
Keep up the good work! 💪
I'm a native french, english speaker and learning spanish like you. Knowing your native language is Russian made me feel a lot of respect and admiration for all you accomplished. You speak english so well I didn't need subtitles.

On my side, I don't care abt American, Australian or English, or Irish accent . I see, they're all using some different words and each region or nation uses different accents, but anyway , all what we need to learn, is to speak a language, that would be called " English in general" . So we get on learning and listening on all we find in web, attending courses with notidentical teachers, and all of them are super clever. When one in the word decided that " ENGLISH" had should been " the INTERNATIONAL SPOKEN LANGUAGE " , that's why all of us started improving ENGLISH , no matter the original accent, but just write and speaking, whatever.
I am saying again and again Veronica you doing a such an awesome things. There are only few content creators do these kind of contents. Keep rocking
Wow, thank you!
@@veronika_languagediaries
Really I appreciate it
an effecient method of learning a foreign language seems to be watching the same movie/show several times:
step 1: watch a movie dubbed in your native language
step 2: watch the same movie with original language subtitles
step 3: watch the same movie in original without subtitles
if your skill level is B, you may feel comfortable to skip step 1
if your skill level is C, you may feel comfortable to skip steps 1 and 2
Veronika, I’m a native English speaker and I also have problems with the British accent. Sometimes I turn on subtitles when watching a British show.
Te voy a hacer practicar un poco ;)
El tema que jode principalmente a la hora de mirar una serie no es tanto la velocidad sino la cultura, ya que muchas veces no es que no los haya entendido, más bien simple y llanamente utilizaron vocabulario o frases propias de su cultura que no conozco o que tal vez ni siquiera tengan sentido fuera de contexto, lo cual dificulta su aprendizaje.
Lo mejor que puede uno hacer es pausar en cuanto se escucha una palabra o frase desconocida, anotarla, decirla en voz alta un par de veces, rebobinar y ver la escena fluida para tratar de encontrar ese hueco faltante. De ahí en más es ir incorporando, pero seguirá sucediendo inclusive independientemente del idioma, personalmente he visto series en español donde no he entendido lo que decían porque la jerga era de calle y desconocía un montón de términos particulares de ese ambiente.
Lo que más me está sirviendo hasta la actualidad es consumir puro contenido en inglés diariamente, manteniendo mi comprensión al día. Leer, escuchar personas normales haciendo acciones cotidianas es lo que más me ayuda.
Obviously I purposely used vocabulary that's typical within my region, to emphasize the point I'm making, and if you understood everything I said, good for you!

I've been using English every day for like 15+ years, watch movies and shows, play video games completely in English, talk to friends in English (non-natives though). I don't live in an English speaking country. I understand RUclips videos without any subtitles, but when it comes to shows and movies... well, I still struggle a lot. I need English subs and I dont know how to fix that...
I agree, friends is actually a difficult show to understand without subtitles 😅..I thought I was the only person felt the same😂😂
I‘m German and I can‘t understand Germans speaking German most of the time on Netflix or on TV.
What? You don't understand your mother language.
@@hammadbawara Not when actors mumble like crazy and their voice is much lower than background noise.
Wow, i understand your video without subtitles😮😮😮😮
Something nobody talks about is that english tv and media is diffrent to russian. Movies in russian, both filmed originally and dubbed, are much clearer and louder. Russian voice in a movie will always be louder than any effects in the background. People use a lot less slang and there is only 1 accent. Also whenever something is dubbed, they often translate it in a way for russians to understand easier. They won't use the words that were actually used but choose similar words that everyone knows. Russian localisers are afraid that the audience may not understand something. It's just a huge difference in media culture.
Thank you Veronika for this useful video! It’s so helpful and I feel like I’m getting better and better at English watching your amazing videos!
I’ve been always surrounded by English, so my learning in the idiom was fast, but my problem with it is the grammar, I love listening English and my listening skills are great, although, I also need grammar to the test, right? How can I improve it?
I must say...u have got great command over the language.....the way u pronounce words is really clear....I from India and even I can understand it properly
This is weird, I'm not able to watch a movie for teenagers without subtitles but I'm watching this video without subtitles and I can understand almost all the words
I love to watching your videos and hear your voice doesn't matter what topic is❤
Thank you!
@@veronika_languagediaries 💘🌷
@@veronika_languagediaries hey veronika i wanna learn Japanese actually so from where should I start?
To fix this problem listen to songs, because songs have a fast pace, unlike movies or everyday conversation, and when you get used to the fast pace, the slow pace will be easy for you.
I learn by listening. It's a so freaking good technique!
I understand every single word in your speech without subtitles. But I don't understand them in most of films and series
First reason is theres a ton of accents among actors, American, European, Australian and those that english is not theyr first language, then theres the ones that actually dont know how to speak properlly so everyone can understand what they are saying, and the last one i can think of is when conversations are based around context the watcher doesent have any knowledge about.
Thanks a lot you Miss Veronica. I watch your contents every single day. It would be benifical for me. I take motivation of you. That I never give up learning english .Love you from Uzbekistan. ❤ спасибо больше
Okey i have a question. Fistly i heard something like this. When we watch any video with subtitles, our eyes is working(like reading) not our ears and thats why our listening skill doesn't improve :/ Is that true? If it is so, what should i do?
It's the first time I can watch a video in English without subtitles and understand what he's saying! You have became in my favorite RUclipsr☺️ (I’m a Spanish native and your videos help me so much)
In 5:08, when she said "What does it mean?", she said something like "what it mean?", without said the "does", right?
No, I said “what does it mean?” :) I just said it fast
I've been living in America for almost 4 years and up to this day I still watch some TV shows with subtitles on. It depends on the movie and the show, PG movies are easier to understand, R and NC-17 movies are harder sometimes. The Boys for example, which is my favorite TV show, I've only watched it in English and was able to understand most of what was being said, but when it came to Butcher, I couldn't understand a word that guy said.
Oi
Im an Indonesian people who try to learning English. Sometimes when i watch some movies, videos, or maybe show, i never use my native language cause i can practice English in some movies like pronunciation and spelling when i thrn on the English subtitles. Like i watched this video sometimes i turn on the English subtitle to more understanding the spelling and pronunciation. But I will tryto learn English til i can watch movies and videos without qny subtitle completely.
Thank you for making valuable content. Always helpful ❤
I thought you were a native English speaker. Your pronunciation is astonishing.
I would never have learned English without you. ❤ Thank you so much.💙

My problem is with British and medieval themed series.
Я уже давно понял что учиться понимать фильмы я буду на последней стадии изучения языка, как самой сложной. Сейчас я нахожусь на стадии "понимание RUclips блогеров и худ. литературы в оригинале"🙂
Да, у меня было как раз то же самое хаха
я вообще для начала решил пересмотреть все мультики на английском языке, которые я смотрел в детстве , из 20 минутной серии того же скуби ду понимаю 70-80 процентов,но плохо то , что я некоторое не могу услышать с первого раза, приходится несколько раз пересматривать
Я просто поставил себе цель, что с определённого момента смотрю всё в оригинале. Нетфликс, фильмы, ютюб и т.д. Сначала юзал сабы долгое время, потом стал намеренно их отключать. Да, трудно иногда. Иногда прям очень трудно. Но это даёт плоды.
Т.к. живу не в РФ сейчас, в кинотеатрах все фильмы в оригинале без сабов, хожу и с удовольствием смотрю. Однако процент понимания диалогов в фильме очень зависит от того, какой это фильм. Как пример, недавно смотрел "Retribution", понятно было около 90% речи. Потом посмотрел "The Creator" и там главный герой говорит с типичным "ниггepcким" акцентом и очень быстро. С большим трудом улавливал от силы 60% речи. Но так или иначе, очень рад прогрессу. Вспоминая как раньше без сабов вообще почти ничего не мог разобрать и очень расстраивался из-за этого
@@DonPetrushka, тебе потребовалось для этого на ютубе создавать акк полностью с английским контентом?
@@diakon9624 зачем? Обычный мой акк, которому уже лет 15. Прекрасно дружат рекомендации и на русскоязычный и на англоязычный контент)
Couldn't agree more. I feel pretty chill while watching videos on RUclips in English and can even do other things simultaneously not watching at the screen (not all the time though), but when it goes to films and shows I find myself completely lost without subtitles. The most freaking out experience for me was "No country for old men" which appeared to be a quintessention of unfamiliar to me Texas dialect and accent. It took me not more than 20 minutes to give up trying to understand what characters are talking about _even with English subtitles_
Listening to you I honestly can’t tell that you are a non-native speaker of American English. You’re accent is THAT good! Respect!
I can just understand basic simples without subtitles
Your linguistic encouragement and wisdom really helps. I'm working on Italian. Thank you for sharing. 😊👍🏾

First let me say, thanks for uploading a great video! After watching hundreds of videos on youtube by linguist and polyglots, this is some of the best information I have heard. I am impressed by the content in this video. Your advice makes so much sense. It's practical, concise and revelatory. Your ability to communicate and your depth of your knowledge in teaching a foreign language is really refreshing.
I have been learning for a month however I can understand everything what you are saying
Я наоборот решил для себя, что при изучении языка абсолютно нормально сталкиваться и не обращать сильного внимания на незнакомые слова при потреблении контента. Мы же будучи детьми едва ли понимали больше четверти происходящего, почти все узнавалось контекстно, так и будучи взрослым может сработать контекстное усвоение информации. Ну и да, сабы не зло, носители слишком сильно адаптируют английский под себя, не носителей ещё больше, а там и акценты разные подтягиваются, так что сабы помогают. Дополнительно они помогают узнавать различные слова, которые на слух никак сходу не перевести, но видя их конструкцию, помня контекст и сеттинг происходящего, можно понять значение слова.
As a mexican i think is really cool that you’re learning spanish 😊plus i can’t believe that you’re not an english native speaker, you’re english is so good!
Mi idioma es el portugués, pero me recuerdo que cuando estaba aprendiendo Español, no veía absolutamente nada con subtítulos y no porque me iba a ayudar, sino porque no existía la opción de activar los subtítulos. Hoy soy muy agradecida por eso porque el proceso de hablar y comprender después de un cierto tiempo fue tan natural que si me preguntas cuándo empecé a comprender al 100% no podría decírtelo con certeza.
Yo quiero aprender portugués de la manera que aprendiste español. ¿Me recomendarías series, películas, autores, cantantes y demás contenido de nativos del portugués?
@@jonathandaviq Bueno, vi muchas telenovelas mexicanas y sigo haciendo eso jaja, pero me encanta escuchar la radio, seguía programas de chismes porque se aprende un lenguaje menos estandarizado que el de las telenovelas... y estudié un poco de gramática. ¡cada día!
