Some people have the gift of articulating themselves. My daughter is like this. I have never been this way even though I think deeply about all kinds of topics, I read, I discuss with others, I talk to myself in front of the mirror, etc. Yes, I can improve, but it does not come easy to me!
EXCELLENT video!! Per point three: (this works better if you live alone but you don’t have to live alone) I’m in the habit of verbalizing my day to day activities. For instance, if I am making up my bed in the morning I actually audibly describe what I’m doing as I’m doing it. “I am going to make my bed. I am pulling away the bedspread and I will do so in such a way that it is in its proper orientation so that it is easier to put back on the bed. I’m watching my step because I certainly don’t want to stub my toe on an end table. As soon as I’m done here I will go and brush my teeth.” You can do this while washing dishes. Describe the way the dish is soiled. Describe the type of dish it is. Describe any design features on each dish. Practice your descriptions so that you are speaking fluidly and with no bumbling. This trains you to clear any bottlenecks between your brain and your mouth.
I'm an avid reader, and organizing my thoughts into writing is what I do best. I think it's what a lot of people do best because we have time to think and process everything. Speaking requires quick recall, and that's not my strongpoint. My brain works well when I can take my time, but my mouth doesn't sync up so well when trying to explain something vocally. It's extremely frustrating. I'm envious of those who can just talk and talk with coherence and never miss a beat. I'm not sure how to get to that point. I think my brain is just wired this way.
i relate to every sentence you say. And one more thing about me is i don’t live in an english speaking country, due my growth and the prolonged time spent on the internet, my vocabularies are explored more on the english side. So whenever i had to talk in my native languange i had to translate them in my head which takes times and i have this thing where accurate words rarely come by. But I am trying to improve my vocabulary, the way i speak, and write in both languages. I also read books aswell, uncluding both languages but im trying to focus more on my native one.
Having verbal fluency and conveying confidence while speaking is something I would love to achieve. I did not grow up around adults that invited conversation without being criticized. Lucky are those that did. I find what helps is to listen to someone that speaks really well and write down some of the words they say, and study them.
As someone who absolutely hated the idea of reading a textbook, and stuttered a lot with people who I’m even close with, I decided to go ahead and follow you step by step process. Within 3-4 weeks I noticed that I was able actively read and listen to my own thoughts and words before giving them to others. It was rough but it has been very rewarding! Thank you so much ❤
Learning at least 5 words a day is helpful. I do that myself and I write at least 5 sentences using the word I've just learned, and try to incorporate in my conversations so that it becomes engraved in my mind. This has helped me enormously as I am able to retrieve those words spontaneously. Repeat and repeat. That will take you places.
I think this is the best method. Our vocabulary generally consists of two categories: Our deep lexicon, and our soft lexicon. Our soft lexicon consists of words that we use frequently on a day-to-day basis. Our deep lexicon mainly consists of words that we know, or can at least understand in context, but are not words that we would typically use while speaking in our day-to-day interactions. When using a word from your deep lexicon, you might pause, stutter, stammer, say 'uhm', or even just have a slight delay before being able to articulate that word into a sentence. The word just doesn't come naturally or subconsciously. So if you want to learn to better articulate your thoughts, or speak to others, you need to convert words from your deep lexicon into your soft lexicon. Choosing 5 words from your deep lexicon, and using them each in your own sentences and words over the period of a week will generally do the trick. I think the belief is that it generally takes using a word in your own sentence around 30-40 times before it moves into your soft lexicon. Also as far as writing goes, I would take it a step further and try writing what they call "morning pages." It is INCREDIBLY effective in organizing your thoughts as well as giving yourself insight.
Much appreciation to you Kara Ronin for this insightful video. 3 Steps To Articulate Your Thoughts Clearly: 1. Read: It exposes you to new ideas, new ways of thinking and structuring. Also, it helps to improve one's vocabulary. 2. Write: It allows you to identify thinking patterns and to determine whether you have good or bad thoughts. This gives you an opportunity to reflect on those thoughts and improve them. Also, it helps you to develop the ability to write clearly in an organized manner. 3. Speak: The ability to read and write articulately will help you to verbal express yourself clearly in an organized manner.
This is a great example for the next generation. Can you share how your daughter get inspired to read? I am struggling with my kids to remind them to read regularly.
This is a great video. This was also in the Bible in Deuteronomy: Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night. Inscribe them on the doorposts and gates of your cities so that you’ll live a long time, and your children with you, on the soil that God promised to give your ancestors for as long as there is a sky over the Earth.
Thanks! It took discipline to complete this 21 day challenge, but it yields great results. I am much more articulate now. Thanks so much Kara. U r the best!
Yes. Kara is correct. There is no magic bullet. In order to think, write, and speak better, you need to practice. Write in a journal (and/or find a pen/em pal). Read books. Listen to audiobooks. Begin writing as if no one will read it. Then go back and proofread it. Record yourself speaking. The audio doesn't lie. Be prepared to be humbled, then you will start to improve. Most of all have fun, and then try to help someone else. The best way to learn is to teach.
I loved this video. I really admire people like Stephen Fry who draw you in with their stories and articulation. Totally agree that the better your vocabulary the better we can communicate. I listen to my grandchildren and am always astounded by the new words they have learned. Thanks for sharing. George U.K.
The steps provided are very general but they are effective as well. Reading-Writing-Speaking it's all that i wanted to become a better communicator. I got an idea to excel in my next interview by writing down each and every question that can be asked.
This can happen. It's usually brought on by nerves or stress that cause you to get thoughts muddled even after you've got them clear in your mind. I might do a video in future tackling this issue.
@@kararonin. Don't you have a class for Articulate Your Thoughts? cause this also happens to me "What if you articulate your words well in thought and it comes out the complete opposite"
You can't count that your audience will have also cognitive level to understand your level of articulation. So wise is to know how to understand different scales of consciousness. For kids use their scale of consciousness
From one teacher to another teacher, you have given me an additional way of showing how to effectively articulate language. Thank you for the lesson and the tools you have provided. Peace to you and yours!
I find myself lacking the words to describe the things I want to say recently. This was not always the case. However, I I realized there was one solution to it that you also mentioned in your video: reading books. I know for sure that when I spend more time reading books, I am more able to articulate myself clearly but that my thoughts seem clearer as well. What a wonderful reminder and great video overall!
Feels like I messed up my online university interview for the second time now and realize that both times my thoughts are all over the place and I am unable to articulate the thoughts that I imagined. Will be trying the 3 steps and see how it goes! Thanks for the video 😃
I hope these tips help you. For interviews like that, you want to prepare. Try practising how you'd answer common interview questions for university. You're lucky that you can prepare for this. 🤗
I highly suggest writing down the questions and answers, as well as thoughts that you want to bring up during the interview. Try not to memorize what you captured in writing in order to recite it, but use it as a guide. So for the interview itself, use bullet points for your key thoughts.
I've discovered your channel by chance, and it was a great discover for me. Your advices are so inspiring and so true. I'll try to follow the 3 steps that you've clearly explained in your video, hoping that it will improve my English fluency, and to be able to feel much more confident in an English conversation than now
When I was a teenager, I noticed when I used to have regularly read books that are very deep and strong vocab words, my speech & writing got much better. Thank you for these tips because I've been struggling with this issue!!
This is an amazing video. I used to read with my kids every night to help improve literacy. As they have gotten older (12, 13) and night time family reading has stopped I have struggled on finding things I can do as a parent to help them continue to advance. You have given me a couple of ideas I can use to help my kids and me!
I grew up in a family that appreciated literature and good writing (especially my father). While I studied science in college (under peer pressure 😢), I devoured a lot of newspaper and news magazines; also picked up an old copy of 'Six Weeks to Words of Power' by Wilfred Funk and religiously followed it through. Ever since, reading widely has become a great way to learn and grow in every sphere of life.
Fantastic video!!! You are such an awesome person. I love everything about this video including you voice and delivery. One thing I was hoping for was that you would explain how to organize our thoughts. In other words, how do we know that our thoughts are now organized? God Bless!
Dear Teacher, thank you very much. I am very lucky to listen to this video. Almost two years elapsed, I had been in a circle of "studying" and then "forgetting", at non practicing environment, sort of a bad manner. This your 20 minutes video can be proved that you had been speaking at very articulate way, I will be able to follow your three steps to try your method. If it stumbles upon some difficulties, I will need your further instructions. thank you again
my partner has tremendously struggled throughout his life with dyslexia. though he deals with something so frustrating , his other capabilities are very profound, such as being able to recognize facial features in films, able to name who that actor/tress is- young, old, facial hair, makeup, etc. trust me when i say it is absolutely mindblowing! he is like an AI! I'm like, NooOoo! so, we Google it, and he is right every time. his math skills are fantastic. He is truthfully the best car/bike/diesel mechanic i've witnessed...super fast & right on point. Unfortunately, some people have to try so much harder than others whom naturally read advanced, to even begin to maybe tackle basic reading. this is a great video for those of us who need a sticky note reminder in life, or a stick-it-to-you right. my mind is very muddled. i wear a desert rose rock on a necklace in a cage with hopes of clearing muddled thinking. it helps me, in however it does- either by the tangible idea, or from the salty sediments of the earth. thank-you for your video, people seem to be very inspired here as do i 😊
I really like the strategy of articulating things in a better way. Recently i got feedback from my manager that I am not well to articulate the things while speaking. So I was searching some videos which will help me to improve my speaking skill. I feel this is practical way of improving the speaking skill. I will try this out. Thanks.
I'm glad you like this strategy Himansu. Remember, to be patient with yourself and keep trying. If something doesn't work and you're not as articulate as you would have liked, think about what you should do differently next time. With practice you will become better at it.
I just came across this video. Thanks for breaking this down . I'm committing myself to taking these 3 steps and will take time each day to watch your videos
Thank you so much Kara; I have also been dodging this idea of reading books but with this video, I am taking up this task of book reading, and I believe I am going to be better thus becoming more articulate and even speak more clearly. This is one great motivation for me to start reading books.
Thank you so much for this video. I am looking to be more clear when I speak and I am so thankful to have come across this video. I will put in practice these tips right away.
I dont think i picked up on social survival skills when i was growing up. I was kinda a isolated kid and teen. I feel like i need to learn as much as a can about socializing .thanks for the help.
Great video, thank you! The most frustrating thing is that I'm a professional writer - I can successfully articulate thoughts on the page but when I open my mouth, especially with my husband, the language is vague, and he often has to ask for clarification.
I'm glad you liked this video @HBDuran! A few thoughts about your question: 1) It could be the topic. Are the conversations with your husband the same content as what you write about? If you were to talk about what you write about, would you be able to articulate your thoughts better? My thinking behind this is it could be an issue of being familiar with the content. 2) Try to find the main point of what you want to say, remove all rambling, and say that to your husband. 3) Use powerful words that you normally reserve for your writing, but bring them into your communication. Make a list of 3-5 words you want to use when speaking.
Do you re-write/edit a lot? I have the same problem. I'm not a professional writer but I've published articles. I think it has to do with constant editing that I do when writing. My brain automatically wants to do the same when I speak. So I end up rambling quite a bit.
Very rich lecture. I will commited to this way. I will read 10 pages at least or even more in my research topic, write at least one page, and speak with my roommate who is very nice native speaker 5 minutes ahead on the daily basis. Afterward, will leave comments may be in onther video that you made in related topics.
Thank you for watching! Are you going to commit to these three steps I talk about in this video? If you have any book suggestions, let us know in the comments here!
Thanks for the video. I just started to write a summary of a video that i watch just like this one + put a little bit of my opinion on it. It's only been a week but it help me a lot to organized my tought.
All of the detailed information in this short minute informative video. Are excellent tips, and also very wise and motivating an individuals way of thinking speaking, and even more. Overall, I will totally agree with much of the information that was given in this video. The books that were recommended are great reads. This lady knows her stuff, no doubt.!! Thank you for all of your support and influence to a person's momentum.
I really loved this thank you very much. I believe you are right . This also brought up the idea for me that I have difficulty not in pursuit of my goals but the finding of my path. This may be due to disorganised thoughts and not understanding my personal hierarchy and meaning of core values. So i will definitely be playing with this practice you have suggested thank you.
Kara, listening to you is like having a conversation which is an art in itself . Keep up with the informative videos. I also love the Irish accent -lol
Thank you so much B Ayotte! I'm so glad you're enjoying these videos, and like my accent too 😀. Btw, I'm Australian :) Not sure if it was a joke about being Irish :)
Thank you so much Kara. Loved the insight about how Reading can help your Subconscious Mind learn "structure of conversation". So profound. Thank you sincerely.
This video reminds me of how I speak "without a filter". People use that phrase as permission to say things they shouldn't. I have heard this phrase for years, "think before you speak". I never knew what I should think about before I spoke. Now I do and thanks to you, I should have a filter in place when I have followed these steps.
Thank you for this great video. I really enjoy debates and deep conversations, it’s putting all that you said in practice, if you are strong on a topic. You reminded me how important consistency is in reading and writing.
I know too that I'm not a good communicator based on my experiences I struggle to start a conversation every time I meet strangers at work or in any social gathering. This has been my struggle for many years now. Now I have come to realize it's time for changes to learn. Your channel helped me to gain insight on how to be an effective communicator now I have the knowledge and awareness all I need to do is to practice it in my everyday life.
1. Context and Clarity: situation, transparent 2. Legal Constraints and Traditions: gag order, common law 3. I like to read books about philosophy 4. Great speaches depend upon the quality of thoughts 5. Managing thoughts helps with productivity 6. Taking notes specifically is more effective for getting more reason 7. On job interviews, continuous learning is valued the most 8. Public speaking skills are helpful in many areas of life 9. Complex concepts are learned through improving expertise in a niche 10. Communication skills are learned the best with close friends
thanks again for this tips, i did try this method and it helped a lot even that i wasn't consist on it but it worked for me, i noticed a difference, we need to practice a lot and make this tips be a normal habits in our life
I grew up in a family where it doesn't have a lot of open conversation which led me to have some difficulties expressing myself. I looking forward to developing and improving my communication skills. Thank you for making this valuable video.
It makes sense how reading books can help organize our thoughts. Reading helps us gain new perspectives and ideas. I agree with what you say about writing. It really helps to organize my thought. Thank you for this video.
I feel you could expand your reach - increase your territory - tremendously, were you to enter the world of sleep inducers. It’s a very popular genre. There are so many people offering history, the humanites, philosophy and so on, specifically as soporific subjects - as well as the sound of rain and wind, trains and planes! With your rich and lovely Russian accent and unwavering delivery you are sure to be a great success. You sent me off in 7 minutes!
I like your video, I’m a non native speaker and and I’m learning English by myself,I have no one to speak with. I bought some books to read to expand my vocabulary but I’m very busy so I couldn’t continue . As time went by I forgot everything I had read. But I think I will continue to strive. I speak 3 languages now including English.
As one happens at times, this video somehow found its way into my RUclips feed this morning. I watched it, and I was hooked. I've seen a few other videos since, and they really speak to me, as I'm starting to create content again, but also looking to leverage my journey as a DJ, a music producer and also aiming to inspire others through what I do. After working for others and retiring over two years ago, I've been struggling to adjust and find my flow. And your videos on effective communications are so clear, and, I feel, doable. I'm not terrible at them, but I want to do better and I know that I'll be returning to this video again and again. I'm subscribed now, and look forward to your future videos. Many thanks, Kara!
Thank you so much for your kind message. I'm glad these videos are helping you as you transition to a new phase in your life. What an exciting time for you!
@@kararonin An exciting time, indeed! Looking forward to perusing your videos, as part of my continuing life journey; there's always new things to learn and experience. Much appreciated!
Great tips! These are the things I've done since I was 7, and I'm also lucky to have parents who'd talk about their work at the dinner table. 😅 As a language and business coach, I recommend my trainees to do the same. Those who did definitely improved. However, I'm also shocked that many aren't willing or can't be bothered to read, let alone write! They expect miracles to happen merely by watching how-to videos or having 1-hour weekly (unprepared) sessions.
This video was incredibly useful for me, possibly shaping and redirecting my future toward a more productive and successful path. You are such a precious gift to your audience. I really appreciate the value you bring. ❤"
This is the 3rd video of Kara that I watched in a row and was thoroughly impressed. I have deep knowledge and skill on my profession however when it comes to communicating, I always think that my speech is not structured (and even my writing goes through several rounds of edits/rewriting). Nobody ever complained/pointed out any issue with my communication; probably because there's nothing wrong with my grammar or the vocabulary I use, but I think I lack the 'structure' when I communicate. Kara, I would take your advice seriously and practice (and watch all the videos you painstakingly create for us). RUclips AI randomly suggested your video this morning and I cannot think of a better gift for the weekend (it's a long weekend in India with Independence day falling on the 15th).
What a wonderful comment! Thank you so much Sanjay! I'm delighted you're finding my videos helpful. I always have new ones coming up on communication :)
Hey Kara thankyou so much for creating this video, I feel like my vocab and articulation is terrible … many factors there - I was never a huge talker, i’m introverted and I grew up with limited vocab from my parents. I sound unintelligent when I communicate… it takes me a while to write out something coherent lol, this really holds me back mentally and affects my confidence with my work and my desire to create youtube/podcast content I’ve started reading lately and the writing helps! thankyou so much.
I'm so glad this video has helped you! Creating either a RUclips channel of podcast are fantastic ways to improve your communication and articulation. So use those goals as a challenge :)
This video earned a sub! Very good and simple tips that I was taught growing up but somehow, I wasn’t intentional about following up with actions. Thank you ❤

Actually my nine year old daughter has read hundreds of books in the past two years and she can express her thoughts wonderfully. So, I totally agree.
Wow! What books she is reading?
Woah, your daughter is a good example!
This is a great example for the next generation. Can you share how your daughter get inspired to read? I am struggling with my kids to remind them to read regularly.
She is probably more coherent and thoughtful than most politicians or authorities. My heart aches for her.

I totally agree about the way we used to speak and write. I collect books written before WWl and they are beautifully written.
I've discovered your channel by chance, and it was a great discover for me. Your advices are so inspiring and so true. I'll try to follow the 3 steps that you've clearly explained in your video, hoping that it will improve my English fluency, and to be able to feel much more confident in an English conversation than now
Kara, I’ve been in a really rough spot in my life and I’m trying to pick up the pieces. Your video helped a lot. Thank you!
I'm so glad to hear that my videos are helping you. Thank you!
When I was a teenager, I noticed when I used to have regularly read books that are very deep and strong vocab words, my speech & writing got much better. Thank you for these tips because I've been struggling with this issue!!
It's great you have an experience in your own life that can help motivate you to read more.
The best part about speaking well I find it by listening to you. Thank you!
Wow, thank you!
Thank you God for placing this educator in my life.

This is an amazing video. I used to read with my kids every night to help improve literacy. As they have gotten older (12, 13) and night time family reading has stopped I have struggled on finding things I can do as a parent to help them continue to advance. You have given me a couple of ideas I can use to help my kids and me!
Thank you so much for this video. The way you speak is GOALS.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for your support!
I love how concise and easy your tutorials are to follow.
I grew up in a family that appreciated literature and good writing (especially my father). While I studied science in college (under peer pressure 😢), I devoured a lot of newspaper and news magazines; also picked up an old copy of 'Six Weeks to Words of Power' by Wilfred Funk and religiously followed it through. Ever since, reading widely has become a great way to learn and grow in every sphere of life.
I love how clear and simple your explanations are!
Fantastic video!!! You are such an awesome person. I love everything about this video including you voice and delivery. One thing I was hoping for was that you would explain how to organize our thoughts. In other words, how do we know that our thoughts are now organized? God Bless!
Yes, I too love the vocabulary and the way people articulated themselves in older books. 📚 📖 ❤
Dear Teacher, thank you very much. I am very lucky to listen to this video. Almost two years elapsed, I had been in a circle of "studying" and then "forgetting", at non practicing environment, sort of a bad manner. This your 20 minutes video can be proved that you had been speaking at very articulate way, I will be able to follow your three steps to try your method. If it stumbles upon some difficulties, I will need your further instructions. thank you again
I'm glad this video was helpful! Thank you so much for watching!
my partner has tremendously struggled throughout his life with dyslexia. though he deals with something so frustrating , his other capabilities are very profound, such as being able to recognize facial features in films, able to name who that actor/tress is- young, old, facial hair, makeup, etc. trust me when i say it is absolutely mindblowing! he is like an AI! I'm like, NooOoo! so, we Google it, and he is right every time. his math skills are fantastic. He is truthfully the best car/bike/diesel mechanic i've witnessed...super fast & right on point. Unfortunately, some people have to try so much harder than others whom naturally read advanced, to even begin to maybe tackle basic reading. this is a great video for those of us who need a sticky note reminder in life, or a stick-it-to-you right. my mind is very muddled. i wear a desert rose rock on a necklace in a cage with hopes of clearing muddled thinking. it helps me, in however it does- either by the tangible idea, or from the salty sediments of the earth. thank-you for your video, people seem to be very inspired here as do i 😊
Cant wait to try this out , I was enchanted from the beginning thank you so much for this .
I really like the strategy of articulating things in a better way. Recently i got feedback from my manager that I am not well to articulate the things while speaking. So I was searching some videos which will help me to improve my speaking skill. I feel this is practical way of improving the speaking skill. I will try this out. Thanks.
I'm glad you like this strategy Himansu. Remember, to be patient with yourself and keep trying. If something doesn't work and you're not as articulate as you would have liked, think about what you should do differently next time. With practice you will become better at it.
@@kararonin Thanks a lot for your encouragement words.
RUclips algorithms 😫when I was about to give up.Thank you so much❤
I love how clear and concise your teaching style is!
Thank you!
I just came across this video. Thanks for breaking this down . I'm committing myself to taking these 3 steps and will take time each day to watch your videos
Thank you so much Kara; I have also been dodging this idea of reading books but with this video, I am taking up this task of book reading, and I believe I am going to be better thus becoming more articulate and even speak more clearly. This is one great motivation for me to start reading books.
Thank you so much for this video. I am looking to be more clear when I speak and I am so thankful to have come across this video. I will put in practice these tips right away.
This is simple and brilliant! I can't wait to give it a whirl purposefully since I already read and write.
Those are incredible points, especially in a world where people struggle with focused attention and reading useful material. Thanks
I love how clear and direct your explanations are.
Your teaching style is so clear and concise!
Concise????? What video did you watch?
You explain everything so clearly and effectively!
Wow I just journal my thoughts and it felt so liberating and I was able to get clarity.
I dont think i picked up on social survival skills when i was growing up. I was kinda a isolated kid and teen. I feel like i need to learn as much as a can about socializing .thanks for the help.
It's never too late to learn these skills. I hope I can help you with my videos!
This is one of the most important subjects I have ever come across. Thankz
If you are thinking is clear your speech will be clear....that's so correct
Great video, thank you! The most frustrating thing is that I'm a professional writer - I can successfully articulate thoughts on the page but when I open my mouth, especially with my husband, the language is vague, and he often has to ask for clarification.
I'm glad you liked this video @HBDuran! A few thoughts about your question: 1) It could be the topic. Are the conversations with your husband the same content as what you write about? If you were to talk about what you write about, would you be able to articulate your thoughts better? My thinking behind this is it could be an issue of being familiar with the content. 2) Try to find the main point of what you want to say, remove all rambling, and say that to your husband. 3) Use powerful words that you normally reserve for your writing, but bring them into your communication. Make a list of 3-5 words you want to use when speaking.
Do you re-write/edit a lot? I have the same problem. I'm not a professional writer but I've published articles. I think it has to do with constant editing that I do when writing. My brain automatically wants to do the same when I speak. So I end up rambling quite a bit.
@@Who_Let_the_Dawn_In Yes I do! My brain wants to edit myself a lot.
@@Who_Let_the_Dawn_In This makes so much sense to me. It has helped me diagnose my problem.
You explain even complex ideas so clearly.
Thank you so much for breaking this concept down for me. You have helped me tremendously.
Great! This is by far the best of speech I have ever heard. Thanks áo much. This is what I have been looking for.
Very rich lecture. I will commited to this way. I will read 10 pages at least or even more in my research topic, write at least one page, and speak with my roommate who is very nice native speaker 5 minutes ahead on the daily basis. Afterward, will leave comments may be in onther video that you made in related topics.
Thank you for watching! Are you going to commit to these three steps I talk about in this video? If you have any book suggestions, let us know in the comments here!
Right now I am reading this book called 'Think And Grow Rich' By Napoleon Hill
@@KingShop1342 that's a great book and perfect for the exercise of using reading to improve articulation.
I will put this into practice, it is indeed an area I want to grow in. Thank you for the informative video
Thanks for the video.
I just started to write a summary of a video that i watch just like this one + put a little bit of my opinion on it. It's only been a week but it help me a lot to organized my tought.
I wish I found this channel sooner, but I guess it’s never too late to improve. Thanks a lot for video. It’s very helpful.
All of the detailed information in this short minute informative video. Are excellent tips, and also very wise and motivating an individuals way of thinking speaking, and even more. Overall, I will totally agree with much of the information that was given in this video. The books that were recommended are great reads. This lady knows her stuff, no doubt.!! Thank you for all of your support and influence to a person's momentum.
Your articulation is remarkable. Indeed, it is an excellent video.
I love how clear and organized your tutorials are.
Thank you! 😊
Thank you! Your advise just makes so much sense. I can’t wait to put it to practice!
I'm glad to hear you liked this advice!
Kara you are amazing, I'm a creative and it's been very difficult to articulate my thoughts. Watching your videos has really helped.
I'm so glad to hear that Fernando! Thank you for watching!
I really loved this thank you very much. I believe you are right . This also brought up the idea for me that I have difficulty not in pursuit of my goals but the finding of my path. This may be due to disorganised thoughts and not understanding my personal hierarchy and meaning of core values. So i will definitely be playing with this practice you have suggested thank you.
Great tips. Yes, reading is a sure shot way to improve your communication and become articulate and clear.
Kara, listening to you is like having a conversation which is an art in itself . Keep up with the informative videos. I also love the Irish accent -lol
Thank you so much B Ayotte! I'm so glad you're enjoying these videos, and like my accent too 😀. Btw, I'm Australian :) Not sure if it was a joke about being Irish :)
@@kararonin It was a joke and I know you are an Aussie
Thank you so much Kara. Loved the insight about how Reading can help your Subconscious Mind learn "structure of conversation". So profound. Thank you sincerely.
This video reminds me of how I speak "without a filter". People use that phrase as permission to say things they shouldn't. I have heard this phrase for years, "think before you speak". I never knew what I should think about before I spoke. Now I do and thanks to you, I should have a filter in place when I have followed these steps.
Thanks for being very clear and sincere in your videos. I'm benefitting from them.
The best way to be a good speaker is learning to listen, listen and listen to others.
Thank you for this great video. I really enjoy debates and deep conversations, it’s putting all that you said in practice, if you are strong on a topic. You reminded me how important consistency is in reading and writing.
I'm glad to hear that! Thank you for watching.
I know too that I'm not a good communicator based on my experiences I struggle to start a conversation every time I meet strangers at work or in any social gathering. This has been my struggle for many years now. Now I have come to realize it's time for changes to learn. Your channel helped me to gain insight on how to be an effective communicator now I have the knowledge and awareness all I need to do is to practice it in my everyday life.
Great Video! Thank you for sharing those 3 simple but profound tips. I have noticed an improvement in my speaking just by reading and writing more.
1. Context and Clarity: situation, transparent
2. Legal Constraints and Traditions: gag order, common law
3. I like to read books about philosophy
4. Great speaches depend upon the quality of thoughts
5. Managing thoughts helps with productivity
6. Taking notes specifically is more effective for getting more reason
7. On job interviews, continuous learning is valued the most
8. Public speaking skills are helpful in many areas of life
9. Complex concepts are learned through improving expertise in a niche
10. Communication skills are learned the best with close friends
thank you so much for this instruction and the advices, i'll try it definitly and back in this comment and give a feedback of how it was
thanks again for this tips, i did try this method and it helped a lot even that i wasn't consist on it but it worked for me, i noticed a difference, we need to practice a lot and make this tips be a normal habits in our life
I grew up in a family where it doesn't have a lot of open conversation which led me to have some difficulties expressing myself. I looking forward to developing and improving my communication skills. Thank you for making this valuable video.
@@N.I.A-z3v I hear you. I hope this video helps you on your communication journey 🙏
It makes sense how reading books can help organize our thoughts. Reading helps us gain new perspectives and ideas. I agree with what you say about writing. It really helps to organize my thought. Thank you for this video.
I feel you could expand your reach - increase your territory - tremendously, were you to enter the world of sleep inducers. It’s a very popular genre. There are so many people offering history, the humanites, philosophy and so on, specifically as soporific subjects - as well as the sound of rain and wind, trains and planes! With your rich and lovely Russian accent and unwavering delivery you are sure to be a great success. You sent me off in 7 minutes!
What I noted is that within your intonation , we see a pretty slow space which helps us to understand the message well. Thanks.
Wonderful teaching video. Much Thanks
Amaizing video!! It is an example of an excellent articulated conversation, and motivated me!!
Finally found the answer to my problem. Thanks for sharing 👍
I'm glad I could help out! Thanks for watching!
I like your video, I’m a non native speaker and and I’m learning English by myself,I have no one to speak with. I bought some books to read to expand my vocabulary but I’m very busy so I couldn’t continue . As time went by I forgot everything I had read. But I think I will continue to strive. I speak 3 languages now including English.
Thank you so much for these clear session and coherently flow of info, it really make sense,, Read 10 page daily >right 1 page daily >speak
You explain complex topics in such an easy-to-understand way.
As one happens at times, this video somehow found its way into my RUclips feed this morning. I watched it, and I was hooked. I've seen a few other videos since, and they really speak to me, as I'm starting to create content again, but also looking to leverage my journey as a DJ, a music producer and also aiming to inspire others through what I do. After working for others and retiring over two years ago, I've been struggling to adjust and find my flow. And your videos on effective communications are so clear, and, I feel, doable. I'm not terrible at them, but I want to do better and I know that I'll be returning to this video again and again. I'm subscribed now, and look forward to your future videos. Many thanks, Kara!
Thank you so much for your kind message. I'm glad these videos are helping you as you transition to a new phase in your life. What an exciting time for you!
@@kararonin An exciting time, indeed! Looking forward to perusing your videos, as part of my continuing life journey; there's always new things to learn and experience. Much appreciated!
You explain things so well, it’s easy to follow.
Great tips! These are the things I've done since I was 7, and I'm also lucky to have parents who'd talk about their work at the dinner table. 😅
As a language and business coach, I recommend my trainees to do the same. Those who did definitely improved. However, I'm also shocked that many aren't willing or can't be bothered to read, let alone write! They expect miracles to happen merely by watching how-to videos or having 1-hour weekly (unprepared) sessions.
Very good. Very applicable. Speaks relevantly without typical RUclips fluff and 'a lot of people have asked me recently how I etc etc'
Thank you.
Thank you so much!
Spectacular.. your way of explanation is awesome as well your sound, and I learnt new vocabulary through this video
This video was incredibly useful for me, possibly shaping and redirecting my future toward a more productive and successful path.
You are such a precious gift to your audience. I really appreciate the value you bring. ❤"
Thank you, dear Kara so much!!! Your video is so helpful! Now I am sure, I can do itI
Greetings from Ukraine
This is one of the realest videos I ever seen on communication!
Thank you for this content! I have been struggling with communication and organizing my thoughts, which is embarrassing.
This is the 3rd video of Kara that I watched in a row and was thoroughly impressed.
I have deep knowledge and skill on my profession however when it comes to communicating, I always think that my speech is not structured (and even my writing goes through several rounds of edits/rewriting). Nobody ever complained/pointed out any issue with my communication; probably because there's nothing wrong with my grammar or the vocabulary I use, but I think I lack the 'structure' when I communicate.
Kara, I would take your advice seriously and practice (and watch all the videos you painstakingly create for us). RUclips AI randomly suggested your video this morning and I cannot think of a better gift for the weekend (it's a long weekend in India with Independence day falling on the 15th).
What a wonderful comment! Thank you so much Sanjay! I'm delighted you're finding my videos helpful. I always have new ones coming up on communication :)
Hey Kara thankyou so much for creating this video, I feel like my
vocab and articulation is
terrible … many factors there - I was never a huge talker, i’m introverted and I grew up with limited vocab from my
parents. I sound unintelligent when I communicate… it takes me a while to write out something coherent lol,
this really holds me back mentally and affects my confidence with my work and my desire to create youtube/podcast content
I’ve started reading lately and the writing helps! thankyou so much.
I'm so glad this video has helped you! Creating either a RUclips channel of podcast are fantastic ways to improve your communication and articulation. So use those goals as a challenge :)
This video earned a sub! Very good and simple tips that I was taught growing up but somehow, I wasn’t intentional about following up with actions. Thank you ❤
Thank you for subscribing! I'm glad you enjoyed this video.
kara your teaching is fantastic. you really can teach an old dog a new trick
Haha! I'm glad to hear that. Thank you!
