  • All right.

  • So today we're talking all about.

  • Why are it is really difficult to understand.

  • Why is it that we're learning it for years?

  • And yet we go toe watch our favorite TV series.

  • We go maybe to another country to travel and stuff, and we contract with natives and you're just, like, get completely lost People are so difficult to understand.

  • Uh huh.

  • So let me just transition into the presentation I have for you guys today.

  • One second, and you should be seeing that any second now.

  • So, as I said, Wired, it was really difficult to understand.

  • And why can't you understand?

  • Native, sometimes if you guys are just logging and now be sure when you come into the chat to say your name and where you're from.

  • But as a lot of you have already introduced yourself, we will just jump right into this, or it's so to start out before we get into the fluency coaching lesson.

  • I wanted to introduce myself for those of you that don't know me, I'm Ethan, your realized English fluency coach and obviously one of the teachers here at learning With with TV.

  • I'm co founder of real life English with Justin So for those of you that don't know, realising Bush were actually the creators of the learned most with TV channel.

  • So for any confusion, there realized English is our company that we help you guys use your English in the real world.

  • And one of the ways we do this is through our garnish with TV channel Here on you two, I have over seven years of experience teaching English in many different countries around the world.

  • Justin actually has, I think, many more than me, and I have over 11 years of experience learning languages myself.

  • I started learning German when I was in high school, and I I was fortunate enough to go later in Germany for six months at that time.

  • And then, you know, I have made different experiences right now.

  • I live in Barcelona, so I speak Spanish and cattle.

  • Um, I looked in Brazil and I speak Portuguese, and I've gotten to live in different places and also just learned a bunch of different languages on my own.

  • So, uh, you know, I think that I could give you a lot of tips from my own experience and a really passionate about traveling experiencing different cultures and bringing this to all of you all around the world, helping you to discover the world through English and get to know a world beyond borders.

  • So what are we going to do today?

  • Today you will get the tools and the resource is strategies to help you to use fun.

  • Native resource is like TV YouTube and podcasts to learn English without subtitles without getting lost.

  • So you'll understand riel native speakers.

  • And if you stay until the very end, then we have some really terrific innovative methodologies so that you could get started right when you finish this video.

  • All right, So to start out, I want to ask you guys a question.

  • So why do you think natives are really difficult to understand?

  • I want to know what you think.

  • So wait just a second.

  • Because this video, actually, it takes a second to show to you guys after I speak.

  • So please comment in the chat box there.

  • Why do you think natives are difficult to understand?

  • So nickel says, because they speak so fast, he says the same.

  • Ah, lot of you're saying because we speak so quickly because the accent That's Ah Stephanie.

  • Good points, depending on which English you study and spend the most time with.

  • That can definitely affect your understanding.

  • We mix words together in a sentence.

  • The sound of English Will you slaving mediums?

  • Definitely a lot of reductions.

  • Pronunciation being very different from your own.

  • We reduce words.

  • We drop a lot of words attractions, idioms because you don't have opportunities for this in the native speakers.

  • All right, slang, idioms, native words, drinking and linking.

  • All right, great guys.

  • Eso What do people usually say?

  • So we're going to disprove all of these common misconceptions.

  • Some of you really got some things that are definitely very true, though, so that's really awesome.

  • But I hope to be teaching you even more today about this stuff.

  • So one of the first things that were here, as a lot of you said, I need to speak to fast and although you know, if you're not used to the speed of which we speak, this can cause confusion.

  • That's not the principal problem can be one problem, but usually it's not really the problem that we speak too fast.

  • You may be miss all the jokes, everybody else's laughing and you're not sure why.

  • So this again, it's not just because we're speaking fast.

  • There are some other factors at stake here.

  • There are some other important factors to take into consideration.

  • You can't understand without subtitles.

  • This is very common that people here, but with some of the resource, is some of the techniques that were going to be talking about.

  • Today.

  • You can learn to understand native speakers without subtitles.

  • A.

  • Someone said I saw that you don't have anyone to speak to you so you can improve your listening.

  • But as we will see today, this is also not necessarily true.

  • You do not need a needed speaking friend to improve your listen.

  • You don't have support from your friends and your family.

  • This could make it very difficult to actually maybe watch a fair TV show in English because your spouse or, you know your other family members want to watch it with subtitles in your own language.

  • Or maybe you are taking an English class and your teachers in the native to the other people you're learning with our natives and so you don't get exposure to this and all seriously, the very common Excuse that I just don't have time to learn.

  • I don't have time to improve my speaking or my listening.

  • Sorry.

  • And this is also something that even the business of people can make their learning convenient and find the time to do it.

  • So we hear this lot need to speak too fast, right?

  • As we said, as many of you said in the comments.

  • But it's not the real problem.

  • So what is the real problem that well, you need to learn these 33 different factors that make up native English comprehension need these to master all of these in order to become successful in You're listening.

  • The 1st 1 is connected speech.

  • We're going to go much more into depth about what this is.

  • And then if you guys enjoy this YouTube live in the future, we definitely want to go into some more details about connected speech.

  • We're just going to give an overview today because it is a very complex topic, but extremely extremely important.

  • The next important thing is native vocabulary, as a lot of you said idioms and slime that we use in the last one, which I'm not sure if I saw too many comments about this but the cultural context, so we'll talk about that.

  • So the first thing, what is connected?

  • Speech.

  • So could you guys please take a second?

  • Real quick to comment What is kind to speech?

  • Have you heard of this before?

  • And as I said, it may take just a minute for you guys to answer that question after I've asked it and is Alexandra definitely wanna give a shout out to you?

  • Thank you so much.

  • I'm glad that you are enjoying it as a teacher.

  • Oh, also, I forgot to mention you guys, Justin is there in the chat.

  • So if you guys have questions, you can feel free to ask them in there, and he's taking a note of the best ones and we'll have a little question and answer at the end, and so I'll answer some of your questions.

  • So when people connect words, that's it.

  • Gets connected.

  • Speech.

  • When people connect words conjunctions so knows that quite conjunction.

  • But it's related to that for sure.

  • It's not in DVD ums.

  • We will talk about mediums when we talk about vocabulary, but that is different.

  • Easier when you pronounce different continents.

  • Not quite so.

  • It's not about speaking.

  • It's I mean, you can speak with connected speech, but first it's really important for learners to be able to recognize this and understand it.

  • Maybe how needed speak based on linking sentences?

  • Good one heavy ETA compressing words.

  • A group of words blending words together, linked words speaking using connectors connect the last letter a word to the first letter of the falling word.

  • Where to divide words.

  • All right, these are all really great guys.

  • Thanks so much.

  • So let me give you the official answer What we would say.

  • So this is as some of you said, how we cut and link our words together.

  • So sometimes we reduce words and we put them together with other words in the sentence.

  • And this could give the impression they were speaking much faster than we actually are when maybe we're not actually speaking that fast.

  • And another really important thing is they don't teach you this in school unless you're lucky and you go to a very special I school or you have a really dynamic English teacher.

  • You will probably not learn this in school and because of that.

  • You're not expecting it when you hear native speakers when you're watching TV, listen to the podcast.

  • When you're speaking with a native friend and so you're not used to it.

  • We're going to help you with that.

  • Another really important thing is that it is predictable connected speeches, not just random.

  • And as I said in some future YouTube lives, we want to jump into not so much rules because I wouldn't say that there's rules for gonna speech.

  • But there are guidelines.

  • You can learn how English speakers native English speakers typically do this.

  • You could even learn if you so desire to do this yourself when you speak.

  • So just to give you some context for this, for why connected speech could give the illusion that were speaking really fast when that's not necessarily the problem.

  • We have these four sentences here that are very similar in their meeting, and some of them are longer than other ones.

  • But for a native speaker, we would say all of them in about the same amount of time.

  • So let me say these four sentences to you, as any of its would say them just to show you how this works.

  • So you may find this a little bit difficult to understand, but obviously you've got them there, so I don't know what I'm saying.

  • I go to the store, I'm going to the store.

  • I'm gonna go to the store.

  • I'm going down to the store.

  • So is he notice it starts?

  • How many really fast.

  • But I said all of those sentences, even though some of them were longer.

  • It's another word were shorter in the same amount of time.

  • So the speed is not the problem here.

  • It's the fact that I am reducing words I'm pushing words together on As I said, there are patterns here how to do this, which will go into in another lesson, what you might be expecting from your traditional classes that a native would say, I'm going to have gone to the store, which basically no native out there unless it's an English teacher, which might be you.

  • Listen to a lot of different English teachers here on YouTube, right?

  • Maybe they would say, I'm going to have gone to the store.

  • But a native speaker in a TV series, for example, would say, I'm gonna have gone to the store so you can see here why it's so difficult to understand connected speech.

  • So some examples from real life I'm taking these from some of our learn English for TV lessons.

  • So if you have not subscribe to our channel yet, I highly recommend you do this because we will get full lessons from really funny clips or really interesting clips that will help you to learn all of these different aspects that we're talking about today.

  • So definitely be sure to subscribe if you have not already.

  • So I have two connected speech examples.

  • The first ones from friends.

  • The 2nd 1 is from big Bang theory.

  • So here goes the 1st 1 You went out with her, you went out with her, you went out with her, all right, as you saw there, you also have an opportunity to repeat and you'll see how these are linking together, how they're being reduced.

  • And as I said, there is a pattern to this which we will teach you in another lesson.

  • Definitely comment in the chat box and let us know if that's something you would be interesting it interested in.

  • Because a lot of you are interested, we will definitely prioritize doing that for you.

  • So here goes the next one from Big Bang theory.

  • Sorry, the napkins, sturdy, wiped his mouth with it.

  • Sorry, that happened.

  • 30.

  • Wiped his mouth with Sorry, the napkins sturdy, Wiped his mouth with it.

  • All right, So, as you can see, this happens all the time.

  • You will see this in all your favorite TV.

  • Siri's.

  • You'll hear it any time A native is speaking at normal speed.

  • Maybe not so much from English teachers like me.

  • You probably can understand me better right now because I'm making an effort not to do this.

  • But let's jump into the next really important factor for your comprehension.

  • Native vocabulary.

  • A lot of you mentioned it's really difficult to understand natives because we use a lot of slang, idioms, call locations, Fraser verbs, right.

  • And this is definitely a humongous factor that we don't use that English necessary.

  • The vocabulary that they taught you in school.

  • Why is this so important?

  • Because in school, how they teach you a lot is different topics, for example, like English from the hospital, English for the car, English for the kitchen and when you get into a conversation with the native, this isn't the vocabulary that were really using a lot of the time.

  • There's something called the Pareto principal, also known as the 80 20 Principle.

  • And if you haven't heard of this before, it has to do with basically ratios.

  • So let's related to English.

  • So 18% of sorry, So 80% of the time that we're speaking, we only used 20% of the vocabulary from the English language.

  • So if you learn just that 20% of the English language, which there's tons tens of thousands of words in English.

  • But by learning just a small percentage of it, you will be able to understand 80% of everything in the English language, and it's actually probably close your sorry closer to a ratio of 95 5 So to give you some actual data on this more or less, about 50% of the vocabulary natives use is just about 100 words.

  • So think about that.

  • By learning just 100 words, you'll already be able to understand about 50% of all native conversations.

  • Now, this is a taking into consideration, obviously connected speech.

  • We're talking here just about the vocabulary contest.

  • And then if you make a little jump to 3000 words, which really 3000 words isn't that much, considering you already have a decent base of English vocabulary.

  • If you understand me right now, right with about just 3000 words.

  • If you can identify these 3000 most important words, you already understand 95 percent of the most common English conversations.

  • So this makes it a lot more seem a lot more possible, right to understand native speakers because you can already get just a humongous amount by learning just 3000 words.

  • The reason why you could make such a humongous jump in your comprehension is because at that point you start to be able to understand a ton of English just through the contest.

  • So, uh, this is really important again, because in school they tend to teach your topics which, like English for the hospital, and it could be important if you have to go the hospital.

  • But it's not something that's going to fit a part of these 3000 words that make up 95% of what you need to know But how can you actually learned these 3000 most important words?

  • It can maybe make you confused.

  • Like which are they?

  • How do I identify them?

  • The thing is simply by exposing yourself to a lot of native English speaking media.

  • So, for example, if you're watching a TV series and you have to pick the right TV, Siri's we will talk about that more in a little bit.

  • But by choosing corrects TV series and just by watching them and doing different techniques to really understand them, you will see that it gets easier and easier because you start telling this comic book, Ever use all the time and it's just repeated, repeated, repeated.

  • All right, so let's jump into the next topic some vocab and memorization tools.

  • We actually have some really terrific tools that we recommend to you to make this easier.

  • The 1st 1 as I said, our channel learning If a TV is a great way to do this, it's so subscribe.

  • If you have not already the old fashioned way pen, paper and a highlighter, a highlighter when you read so that you could go back and learn that vocabulary later.

  • Sometimes people might like to carry, like, a little note pad with, um so that you can take it out any time you learn a new vocabulary right down, right.

  • Usual haps.

  • If you're more like me and you always have your phone on you, maybe you would rather use technology.

  • I use every note you can use other abs that kind of work, like a note pad.

  • And I really like this because if I'm watching, for example, TV series in cuts on and I hear some your word, then you know, I could quickly noted down in my ever So that's something I do a lot if you're into reading another really great way to do this is by having a reader or Kindle because you could look up new words right in that moment and see the definition.

  • That's something I have found very, very useful for learning with reading some other acts as our applications.

  • So S R s is space repetition system, which is basically works with the way that your brain memorizes new vocabulary by reminding you right when you are about to forget that word so that it gets placed into your long term memory I know a lot of us.

  • We feel like it's really difficult to learn vocabulary because we can't remember.

  • And these abs will change your life if you're not using them already.

  • There are many different ones that you can use my favorites.

  • And I think the favorites of most of our students are hunky and memorized.

  • Donkey, because it's kind of a simple, basic and memorized has some other features, like quizzes and other things that could make it very useful to understand.

  • Right and so sorry.

  • I have a little cold, so little bit congested anyway itself.

  • Those two are ones I would highly recommend.

  • And actually, if any of you are using our premium courses like friends or the real, like native immersion course, you're already used to these.

  • Or if not, then I will talk more about these in a little bit.

  • We give you memorized donkey lessons for everyone to help you memorize thes most important vocabulary like we're talking about so you can get those 3000 words you need, right?

  • And I also have an example from learning for TV with vocabulary.

  • So let's roll that this is from The Simpsons.

  • Ah, this is just another Hallmark holiday cooked up to sell cards.

  • Hallmark Holiday Hallmark is the greeting card company that has strongly influenced the popularization of holidays like Valentine's Day and others.

  • To sell gift cards cooked up to cook something up is to plan or invent something, usually with a dishonest purpose.

  • Example.

  • The police in this town cooked up a system to allow drug dealers to do business in extreme for a part of the profit.

  • All right, that was a really great example as well, because you kind of have with the Hallmark Holiday.

  • It's a bit of a cultural reference, which we'll talk about in a minute.

  • And it is also a vocabulary because, like any native would need, at least from the United States, well, Brian, know what a Hallmark holiday is.

  • But if you're not in the United States, you probably don't know that Hallmark is a greeting card company, right?

  • So next we'll talk about cultural context, and this is a really important factor in understanding the jokes of laughing along with the TV series of not having to ask yourself that question and feeling that frustrating confusion.

  • Why are they laughing?

  • And another really important thing is workplace.

  • So this is obviously related to vocabularies.

  • Well, it's how one work and have two different meetings, or sometimes Maur and how we will sometimes use this to create humor.

  • If you're not in need a speaker and you don't know all the different definitions of the word, this could make it very confusing to understand the jokes.

  • Right on all of our learning is your TV lessons we tend to.

  • We tend to explain to you these kind of word place that you'd probably miss on your own.

  • Of course, historical, unpopular context that every American, every British person would know, right, that the history from the country that might be referenced in enough so or person or something happening in politics.

  • And this is something that could be very confusing If you're not from that s o b useful.

  • Either Tiu something like Wikipedia to do some research on Google.

  • We'll talk more about that in a little bit on.

  • Obviously, if you have a native friend that they can explain this to you or if you need a friend, for example, is me in our learning with TV lessons or fluent with friends if you are using our course.

  • So, of course, also have an example for this.

  • This is from a lesson we did just a couple of weeks ago, with Obama laughing at Trump and actually another comedian in Seth Meyers.

  • So I'll show you Seth Meyers talking about this birth certificate controversy with Obama.

  • And then it will explain also why the joke is funny.

  • And if I can for a moment talk about the birther issue, when did we get so suspicious about where people were born?

  • A USA Today poll last week said 38% of Americans think the president was definitely born in the US in the same poll.

  • In the very same poll, only 5% more said Donald Trump was definitely born in the U.

  • S hasn't reached the point where Americans on Lee thinks something.

  • It was someone was born here.

  • If they saw it, the birth certificate controversy.

  • What Obama put to rest was the crazy idea with respect to his birth certificate, which Trump was very vocal about.

  • Many conservatives believe that Obama wasn't really born in the United States, which would make him an illegitimate president, but right before this event he released his official Born in Hawaii, US.

  • A birth certificate?

  • All Yes.

  • So your guys are enjoying these examples that I've been giving.

  • You can go check out the rest of videos on our channel after this YouTube live if you have not already.

  • And as I said, definitely subscribe because we tend your new lessons like this every single week.

  • All right, so we're going to get into, like, the last bonus point, actually, which is psychological reasons that is so frustrating.

  • Toe understand, native speakers.

  • So the psychological reason is basically that with our native language, we're used to understanding almost everything.

  • And so then when you start learning a language like English, it's frustrating because you feel like a baby, right?

  • You can't understand everything you so it makes you feel really uncomfortable having that change from understanding everything in your native language and wanting to feel the same way when you communicate in English.

  • But obviously it requires a lot of hard work, right?

  • And something else that you have to be aware of is that in your native language, a lot of times, too, you don't understand things you don't understand every single joke.

  • Every single detail, every single word.

  • But because it's your native language, you're so accustomed to it, and you tend to understand things from context that you don't let this get you down.

  • You don't let this frustrate to you like you do in the language that you're learning when we're learning English or we're learning another language.

  • We feel stressed.

  • We feel like you know, there's something wrong with us.

  • What's wrong with me?

  • Why can't I understand this?

  • So it's really important, Just like this dog with the cookie is really important to be patient.

  • Patient is he have a great expression for you guys here.

  • Don't sweat the small stuff.

  • So this means, like, don't worry about the details.

  • You need to learn to be patient with yourself and know that in time, if you're patient, if you be persistent and keep pushing through your learning little by little, you will understand more and more.

  • And this is really cool way again with using like a TV series, is that when you watch on your actually actively learning with an entire season, for example, from beginning to the end of the season, your comprehension will go way up, and it's always a great feeling.

  • All right, so another question for you guys, I know that we're going a bit longer than I wanted Thio.

  • So we'll just make this very quick.

  • What do you currently find effective for improving your listening?

  • So I want to hear from you guys, and then I will give you some of our resources and techniques.

  • As Justin said here, it's okay not to be perfect.

  • That's a great point there, Justin, you and your says when he doesn't understand something, gets curious and watch him again.

  • That's definitely a great point.

  • Junior.

  • I think curiosity is the best friend of a language learner because you know, when you're curious, instead of getting frustrated, you want to overcome that frustration.

  • You want to overcome that misunderstanding or the failure of the steak right and learned to understand when to speak better, for example, trying to notice words and speech definitely.

  • So.

  • Like I was saying, you can use an app or no pad and try to jot down, write down any new words that you learn.

  • So a lot of people, I think like a big mistake, is watching with subtitles in your own language, and then you just get lazy, right?

  • Just try to understand everything and you're not actually learning with.

  • Yeah, it's Justin says here a lot of songs and difficulties that, even like natives, don't don't understand it.

  • And this is the psychological thing that I was talking about, that you know, you get frustrated because you think you're not understanding because it's not your native language, when in fact you're not understanding something that may be a native also wouldn't understand.

  • So be patient with yourself.

  • Listen to your podcasts all Yeah, awesome.

  • Great to hear we see we have some podcast listeners in here.

  • Real life English podcasts for those of you that don't know it.

  • Watching TV shows watching movies are videos with explanations, things, guys, all of your supporters.

  • Rap rap is difficult for me to wider or we that sorry from mispronouncing that practicing, lobbying, consistent, right being patients.

  • All right, so it's a really great rates.

  • Resource is you guys are already giving Let's jump into some of mine intestines.

  • All right, so the first method a lot of my students really love this is the reverse transcript I call it.

  • This Justin has another name for it where you can't recall right now, But the reverse transferred.

  • Basically, you listen to an audio or video clip from a scene without subtitles.

  • So the first thing you find a scene you want to learn with Andi should I'll talk about how you pick these out a little bit, as I said, and then you try your best to create a transfer.

  • So what I mean by that is you Listen, you watch and listen.

  • Will you just listen?

  • If it's like a podcast and you write down everything that you're hearing through the best of your ability, maybe you need to do this.

  • If you're lower level, you need to listen a few times to try to correct it as much as you can and get the best transcript possible.

  • Then you're going to watch it with subtitles and check the official transcript against your own version.

  • So I'll talk more about how you can find that transcript in a little bit.

  • But if you're watching the train with subtitles or otherwise, you probably want to use a podcast that already has a transfer so that you can prepare.

  • It's to your version and correct your virgin, and then you're going to actually analyze it.

  • So what mistakes are making commonly, where do you have, like, spaces in your comprehension?

  • So is it difficult because there was some connected speech?

  • So you miss that, or did they use some word that you don't know?

  • Where did they mention some person you haven't heard of?

  • All right, so that's the 1st 2nd Definitely Give that go and see how it goes.

  • The reverse transcript just to review that.

  • Okay, so the next thing is to learn English TV Siri's So how can you do this by yourself on your own?

  • The first thing is to choose a scene from your favorite Siri's.

  • And as I said a couple of times, I will tell you how to pick out a good serious to learn English with see if you can find a transfer it on Google.

  • And this is a simple, simply typed into Google.

  • The name of the Siri's plus transfers and most seriously, will have transports available online on.

  • Then you're going to watch the scene with subtitles.

  • If you are maybe intermediate or lower on, you could challenge yourself if you're more advanced than watch it without subtitles and then you're going to study the transcript.

  • You're going thio.

  • Look through it.

  • Find all the vocabulary.

  • Andi.

  • Confusing cultural references like any people you don't know, Maybe you look them up in Wikipedia.

  • That's a great resource for cultural references.

  • Any things that you noticed that or maybe some complicated grammar that you don't understand and you're going to try your very best to.

  • I understand everything in the transcript, and then you'll watch it and actually study the transcript while watching it.

  • And you're going to die.

  • Also at this point, take notes on any pronunciation or connected speech.

  • That's that's confusing.

  • So if you notice, for example, that they don't say, go to the store.

  • But they say Go to the store, then you're going to note down that it's go into the store, go to the store, right, and then after you study and you understand the transcript, then you'll watch a final time without subtitles to understand as much as possible.

  • So this could be a really, really great process to learn a ton with, just like a single scene from a TV series, you could do this scene by seeing toe understand entire episode of a series of well, for example, Obviously, it depends how much time you have to dedicate your stunning.

  • But this is fun, and it's extremely effective.

  • All rights.

  • As I said, How do you choose the Siri's?

  • What is the right Siri's to learn English So you want to choose a Siri's that has a relevant topic and relevant language.

  • So, for example, friends is a really good one.

  • A lot of people say, Oh, but it's, you know, it's almost 20 years old now, so maybe it's not so relevant.

  • But actually, Friends is still one of the most popular TV series in United States.

  • And there's a lot of vocabulary, a lot of language from friends that has affected even modern day English speaking, So this still is extremely relevant.

  • It's about, you know, six friends living in New York, so it's very common situations that happened in there.

  • It's really great to get that most important vocabulary were talking about earlier, right?

  • So you want something that has relevant language and relevant topic.

  • Something like, for example, that's really entertaining might not necessarily be the best Syria's two truths like, for example, game of Thrones because it uses older English and it's kind of fantasy, so uses a lot of language that we like never news.

  • Or, for example, right now I'm watching the TV series, which is excellent called Outlander, but it's like Scottish English, so I even sometimes to understand some things.

  • So that's the first thing that's important.

  • Um, and I think it's much better if it has shorter episode.

  • So if it has 10 15 20 minute episodes, that's much better, because you can watch it without getting without getting bored without getting frustrated and learned to understand most scene.

  • You can use some of the techniques I had talked about before on if it has many seasons, that better.

  • So you have, like friends among her family.

  • How I met your mother, The Simpsons.

  • A lot of these have finished or they're very long.

  • So you know, you get hooked.

  • What does get hooked me get hooked is to get addicted.

  • So you know you can keep watching and watching it.

  • By the time you finish all the seasons of friends, your English is going to be phenomenal, and I've actually Justin and I have both the reason we made our course bowling with friends with because we met so many English learners around the world.

  • Grad, just like excellent English were like, What?

  • Like how?

  • How did you like to have such great English?

  • You almost seem like Anita like Oh, well, you know, I really like TV series.

  • I watched all the seasons of friends.

  • It's like, OK, we heard that enough times were like, We have to make a course with this show.

  • I actually wrote an article on this which when we do the recording of this YouTube live, I will post that in the description as well.

  • And it's 10 Siri's to learn English.

  • So we also want to make this easier for you talked about a lot of different things today.

  • We're going to probably do more you two lives in the future and go more into depth of each of these points because there are many.

  • For example, with speech, there are many different things that you can learn with vocabulary.

  • There's many different things you can learn, and today I just wanted to give you a general overview.

  • But we also like to make it easier for you every week.

  • Right on this channel.

  • We give you a lesson where we've taken this difficult process of studying the transcript rights and re watching the scene.

  • And we have actually made it into fun clips that we do all the hard work for.

  • You give it to you in a very appealing format so that you can, uh, learned very small amount of time, and that takes a lot of the hard work out of it for you.

  • We did you one lesson every Thursday.

  • Usually we've been late some of the taste recently just because of some technical issues.

  • So Thursday, maybe Friday, hopefully not any later, Um, and we also tried to pick the very best clips for you in the very best Siri's If you want to Biltmore.

  • We have, as I mentioned a few times, a horse float with Friends, which takes entire episodes from the 1st 2 seasons of the Siri's Friends, which is probably the best.

  • Siri's out there to learn English.

  • It's extremely intense, entertaining if you have not seen it, and if you have already seen it, you can re watch it.

  • It's just a really excellent TV.

  • Siri's I Love re watching old episodes, for example, S O.

  • You can learn more about our premium course Unfortunate.

  • But it's available on Netflix, and you can also find many free and paid.

  • And you get also access to the fluency circle community, which will give you an opportunity to practice your English with English owners from every single part of the world.

  • I know a lot of you are here today, so definitely give a shout out there in the chat.

  • It's great that so many of you are here supporting this first ever YouTube live.

  • I really appreciate that.

  • All right, so that's it for today.

  • We went definitely much longer than I was expecting.

  • So sorry about that.

  • Still getting used to this whole YouTube life thing.

  • But maybe just for the next 10 minutes or so, I'm going to have Justin pass me some questions.

  • You can also ask more questions and let me know what those are.

  • And I'm going to answer those now.

  • All right, So the first question that Justin has so nicely passed on to me is can you explain how natives abuse connected speech?

  • All right, So how do natives abuse connected speech?

  • Um, I think I know what you mean by this.

  • So we abuse kind of speech.

  • Sometimes if we're lazy, especially a four tire, we will start just like mumbling.

  • And I think mumbling some mumbling is like when you don't really open your mom from further when you're not fully opening your mouth and saying everything, which I definitely mumble a lot.

  • As a teacher, I try to enunciate more self.

  • It's easier for you to understand that can cause a mixture of mumbling connected speech to make it really difficult to understand.

  • Also, just the example that I gave off how you can say different grammatical structures.

  • If it's a longer one, we tend to reduce it even more.

  • So I'm going to have gone to the store.

  • We make really small until I'm going down to the store.

  • Right.

  • So when that happens, you don't necessarily want to ask the person.

  • Can you speak slower?

  • If you want to say, can you speak more clearly?

  • So definitely, that could be very useful for you.

  • If you're speaking with the native and they do something like this, don't just say speak slower, say speak more clearly because that will help you if they can actually enunciate more.

  • All right, you guys have any more questions.

  • Please say them now in the chat box and Justin will pass those onto me.

  • What can I do to stop translating in my head?

  • That is a great rates question, Mike.

  • Mike, I'm not sure where you're from, but how can you stop translating in your head?

  • This is something people ask a lot.

  • There's one, like, really basic answer for this, which is to actually practice, not translating in your head so you can actually actively try to think in your head in English.

  • Another useful thing could be to pick some topic and record yourself talking about it and then listen to it.

  • This is a great technique for proving your pronunciation, improving your lunacy and to stop translating.

  • So I do this with different languages, for example, from buying myself, I might try to think in my head.

  • Okay.

  • What am I doing?

  • Like in Catalan, for example, or in Spanish?

  • I'm trying to narrate in my head.

  • What am I doing right now?

  • So I could be cooking and I would say so.

  • Say I'm not a native English speaker.

  • I want to say Okay, I'm cutting the carrot on sauteing the vegetables.

  • I'm peeling the cucumber, for example, and this is a way to start getting your brain used to thinking in the language.

  • So basically, this is something that you just have to actively start doing.

  • Mike and other people that want to think in English and little by little, you'll get used to that, and it will become easier.

  • You'll stop translating in your head somewhat.

  • Another thing is like Don't use Google, translate.

  • Get out of the habit of using Google.

  • Translate.

  • If you don't know a word or expression or something like that, look it up in the dictionary first and tried to find the definition in English so that you're not translating it because you need to break that habit of translation a lot of like, for example, other.

  • Just another thing.

  • On this topic.

  • Courses or acts like dueling go because they tend to just work by translating from your native language to English.

  • I would also say, if you're going to intermediate level, stop using those.

  • Start using things like TV.

  • Your podcasts made of resource is that aren't having the noise translate from your native language?

  • All right, Okay, so the next question, uh, any other ideas.

  • How can learn is practice it American versus British connected speech.

  • Okay, I think these are two different questions.

  • How can learn his practice that I'm imagining that you're asking Know about connected speech, for example, Use are turning off the TV lessons.

  • We give you the clip we always with the connected speech.

  • We show you how they do it, and then we show it to you again.

  • Slow give you an opportunity to repeat, and then we show it to you again so you could just do that on Repeat.

  • You can take a small scenes like this and just do it over and over again.

  • Cracks it honestly to my students.

  • And we may, I recommend, especially if you're like, not at a really advanced level.

  • You don't need to speak with connected speech because it could just make it more difficult for people to understand you.

  • It's much more important that you speak clearly and comprehensively so that people can understand you.

  • But connected speech is super important for understanding because natives use it all the time.

  • If you want to be able to understand NATO's be ableto understand t Siri's podcast, then you need to be able to understand connected speech.

  • So using our channel using other resource is to start to learn this using our course, for example, for friends to learn the difference ways that we needed connect.

  • We needed to connect our speech.

  • This could be very useful.

  • You can even search, you know, on your tube connected speech.

  • And a lot of other teachers have talked about this as well.

  • So learning the rules of this and starting to be ableto comprehends comprehends Petr American versus British connected speech.

  • I'm not so sure.

  • It's definitely different.

  • They have different ways of connecting speech.

  • A lot of people think, Oh, this is something Americans D'oh, Brits do it as well.

  • They just do it in a different way.

  • Um, one good example might be the American tea.

  • So in English and American English, if we have a tea between two vowels, we will change it to a D sound, which they're not used to.

  • Hearing that with American English, you might expect, for example, the word butter to sound like but ter.

  • But in American was a butter, and this happens also when you have a T at the end of the world Word followed by another word that begins with a vowel sound or, for example, begins with an age.

  • You can also become a vowel sound.

  • So just give you example.

  • Ah, but he has a cat and dog.

  • So your teacher probably would say to you, but he has a cat and dog.

  • How would a native say this?

  • But he has a cat and dog, but he hasn't had a dog.

  • So here we dropped the age from he.

  • We connected the tea and the he So it becomes buddy has a cat and dog.

  • The tea connects to the aid from an cad in cattle dog.

  • But he has a cat and dog.

  • All right, so, uh, I know a lot more of you have questions, but we're going to wrap up here because we're already at 45 minutes.

  • I was hoping to do this in 20 minutes.

  • So thanks so much to all of you that made it through this entire thing.

  • You are really awesome on.

  • I got maybe carried away talking about some of these things, but I hope it was useful.

  • I hope you will join us if we do another future of you to live and definitely let us know in the chats in the comments, if you enjoy, this was helpful.

  • What other things you would like us to talk about in the future?

  • Please subscribe to get any future lessons that we d'oh to get our earnings for TV lessons.

  • And also, if you want Thio, join that many courses absolutely free and learn more about fun with friends, which you do have to pay for.

  • But it's over almost a year of lessons like 42 weeks of less.

  • No sorry.

  • 48 weeks of lessons and you can learn a ton ton of English with that committed speech vocabulary.

  • Cultural notes understand all the jokes, so much more.

  • So thanks so much for taking time out of your busy Saturday.
