Sometimes understanding native speakers is not easy. Once I remember when I worked as a translator, a scientist from USA came on business mission to our Institute where they had some business projects. The director of the Institute asked me to meet him and translate his words from English to Russian. I entered his office and there were some people. He asked me to translate his words into Russian and when he started speaking English, it was quite another story and I didn't understand what he was speaking about. That was quite different English and that was not what I had learned or taught about. It was quite fast English. He was speaking fast like in the American movies and I asked him to speak it slower and after three or four attempts I finally understood him with difficulty. I was a bit ashamed of not doing it properly and it was so embarrassing and I was totally dumb. It was horrible and embarrassing. In my view, this happened because we lack spoken English practice with native English speakers.
Thank you for sharing! If it's any consolation, you're not alone. I know lots of people have had experiences like that.
Max, You are a good English teacher.I wish you so that you along with your life partner could enjoy the rest of your life with peace and happiness.Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I too wish you all the best!
I don’t know why I can’t stop watching this channel even though I live in Canada and I am fluent in English and get no added value :) your speech is soo mesmerizing :)
Because you don't have friends
I love this channel because I understand what you say. Your English are clearly. Thanks for sharing to me.
Thank you again Max. If all was easy to understand like you.
My God, what a beauty teacher and great lessons here!
Greetings from Spain 😘😘
Many thanks Max I will take your advice into consideration.
You pronounce the words very clearly, which encourages me to continue watching, listening and learning. I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you very much Max.
Thanks and welcome!
@@EnglishwithMax 👍
my main problem is background noises,I watch live news all day long here on youtube,so I already got used to the speed and entonation of native speakers.
Great video teacher
You speak in very understandable way for foreigners
I like your lessons, thank you!
Thank you to help us AMAZING
Thank you so much. Your video is very useful
Congratulations 👏👏 abriu a minha mente, connection with words 👏🇧🇷🇵🇹🇬🇧
I'm glad it helped!
When i watching your videos again. I never ever feeling pored. really all your channels very useful. Thank you for good job. Please max if you can give English grammar lessons.
I'm sorry, I don't plan on making any grammar videos soon... But there will be some grammar in the course I'm preparing for Udemy.
this video was great
thank
i like your smile
muchas gracias profesora
Miss max your teaching is very good, and informative I even began er can understand. So thank you very much.
Thanks a lot, for your effort. Max, I like your teaching and always note your tips.
My pleasure, Mehdi! Thanks for watching :).
Beautiful follow-up with you in learning and have a fun personality
Thank you for your lovely comment, and thank you for watching!
Thank you very much for this. It really helps the reason why we do not understand all the native speakers well.
Hey, Max! One more great lesson that you've produced. As for those topics you pointed out in your video, I believe that "mumbling" is the most significant problem for us to understand natives speakers. That reminded me those old americans wearing big hats in movies. It is almost impossible to get what they're saying. It is kinda a mix of vocabulary of a specific country region and mumble type thing. Listening teachers (all them) it is "peace of cake", despite linking, fast speech, advanced words, reductions, you name it. When a native uses a good entonation, correct mouth moviment and a widly used vocabulary, It is way better for us to hold a conversation. WAY TO GO! Thanks!
Thanks again, Alexandre! I think you're right - mumbling probably causes the most difficulties. :)
I like when you casually use an uncommon word and explain it in your video, thanks a bunch 😍
You're welcome :)
But thanks to you and to your unique presentation
Really I have to say thank you from my heart. Always you are awesome. Please don't give up. All the best.
Thank you so much. :)
Excellent.
Amazing lesson as always and I totally agree with you on the situations that you mention here. I would say that for an informal situation it's no so bad to say "sorry, could you repeat that please..." but maybe in professional situations we do not want the person we are talking to, to think that she/he has to use a much more simple vocabulary, therefore loosing the richness of their language! Reductions are also a very important topic and I loved to hear that you are going to talk about them!
Thank you very much, Alfonso! Yes, good point (about the richness). It's one of the reasons politicians are encouraged to use interpreters, even if they speak the other language relatively well.
I can't promise when I'll be able to do some videos on reductions (I have a couple of others planned first), but I'll try do them soonish!
I also have a bad habit of mumbling but I understand you fully. There are some instances, particularly in American accent where I fail to understand the speaker.
Thanks for video. You are amazing teacher. I almost completely understand without any subs. It's awesome to take a pause between BBC learning English podcast and Murphy Grammar and enjoy the English by Max.
You're very welcome!
Great teacher
it shows me good idea to learn English

Hello, Max! I find it hard to understand native speakers because of reductions and, of course, because of high speed. Thanks for the tips. Excellent video! I like it! I've found out your channel and I'm going to binge-watch it!

Your video helps me too much mam
I am from India and I am also maths teacher.
Great .....thnks ...by the way your spanish sounds great ....
Thank you very much!
Teacher, i like your video, your English is very clear and easy to understand. I hate of Australian and New Zealand who speak English because their pronunciation are out of tones. I went for the course a few times. If lecturer from Australia or New Zealand. I totally don't understand what they talking about.
I like to study with you! You speak clearly.
Thanks for speaking slowly I can understand you very well and thanks for the subtitles everytime I find a new world in your speech i can take notes and later go to the dictionary.. by the way . Do you have a video about linking vowel to vowel .. today I realized Australian use three letters to do that Y, W, and R .. is it true? I would like to know your opinion or some sentences to practice this kind of linking.. thanks for your videos.. greetings from Mx.
My pleasure 😊.
No, I haven't done any videos on linking yet. :)
Do you have ECL or ALCPT form from 60 to 100
Whoa! 10k subscribers! Cheers! Keep it up!
+1. Our congratulations!!!
Thanks very much!
What a nice earring 😊
Not what this is all about, but I was wondering what "Hope" was all about. Thanks for reading my and other people's minds. I mumble sometimes ... Congrats on reaching 10,000 subscribers!
Thanks very much for your support, Peter!
Yes, I like bad puns 😂.
I intended to write "know" and put "hope" there instead. 😏🙄 Thanks for fun and the education.
I don't understand native speakers but I sometimes watch this channel. It's difficult for me but I like it. 🙂
Thank you :). Just keep practising. Believe me, it will get easier with time. ❤️
waw you breathtaking the makeup suits you so much oh goddd perfect best prof ever.
I don't understand when some native speakers say:
Mmmmmm mah mah mah
Gee hee hee hee hee and
Ha ha ha ha
Hello Max! Very good video! I am very happy by Portuguese text. Because, I am Brazilian! My main difficult is to listen! I think that some sound in Portuguese is very different in English thus, try to live the language is very important. Your hint is very nice! Thank you very much! I very like your channel. Strong hug from Brazil!
Thank you so much, Osmar! Don't worry, it can take a very long time for your ear to get used to sounds in a foreign language. I wish you all the best!
@@EnglishwithMax Thank you so much, Max! I wish the same for you!
very interesting!
Thanks, Emilio! :)
I, non-native speaker of English nothing to say why I couldn't able to, as you already had done well research and presented admirably.
I appreciate your hard home work/effort to speak slowly as to understand by non-English people.
According my own experience it is very difficult to speak/act/ape as native of any language.
My pleasure :).
You're absolutely right. Learning to speak exactly like a native speaker is unrealistic (and not necessary) for the vast majority of people. Lots of teachers claim to be able to teach people to speak like a native, but it's just marketing. ;-)
I can understand you when you speak with George and his brother
Dear beautiful Max would you please give us another video with so many sentences of contacted and man various reductions. Again thank you.
I can't promise anything, but I'll try!

After a couple of years of putting efforts in learning English, I get used to understanding natives in a much easier way than before. Nevertheless, I have to keep it up to take my English level to the next step as I've a goal to achieve 8 IELTS band score and to do the CELTA.
Wish me please the best luck ☺
Regards,
Ahmad,
Practice makes perfect!
All the best with your studies!
Happy to have you. Beautiful earrings! where are you from?
Australia ;)
I liked the video. And I like the lass.
Thanks a lot dear Max . You are so cute ❤❤❤
Love u. Hope to see more😍😍😍. Anyway. Does my sentence correct? Tkz soooo muchhh😍
Thank you!
Yes, it's correct :). But we would say: Is my sentence correct? 😉
@@EnglishwithMax 😍😍😍
The lesson is interesting. However, I just curious of your earrings. What do you mean by wearing using a lock earring on your right and padlock on your left?
They don't mean anything. I just like them. :)
Hey Max, what about learning Sinhala language?
Thank you for your videos :) I'm really enjoining it. Would you recommend videos or movies which are useful for learning English? In addition, phrasal verbs and some expressions that natives often use everyday life? :) Thank you Max Have a great day !!!
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like them :).
I've actually already made a couple of videos about movies and series:
ruclips.net/video/zqjQn5UZxCo/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/rmlbp9gYpfE/видео.html
I hope they help!
And I plan to do some videos on expressions very soon :).
I think I have got my Final Destination in Learning English
No words to appreciate
Thanks Max , what is solutions?
Lots of listening practice, and perhaps learning more about reductions and connected speech. All the best!
Good Morning Max!
Good morning, Long! :)

Hi Max. Thanks for the video it helped me to understand there is a difference between series and daily life speaking. Also, do you have a problem about understanding different accents around the world? Or generally, do natives understand all accents completely? A conversation between An australian and a british for example
You're welcome. :)
Generally speaking, native speakers understand each other, even if they have different accents.
There are a few exceptions:
1. People who never watch movies/series from other countries (or who haven't travelled much) sometimes have difficulties understanding other accents.
2. People often find very strong regional accents difficult to understand if they're not used to them. For example, I can normally understand Scottish and Irish people with no problems, but if their accent is very strong, I sometimes don't understand everything.
@@EnglishwithMax Thanks a lot ^^
nice video mam
Max, do that lock and key work? I am talking about your earrings:)
I don't know... I probably should've checked before I bought them! 😂
