5 Tips to Understand Native English Speakers

[@englishtoexcel]

Curious, what do you think is easier to understand - British or American English?

[@itsokayreally8653]

British

[@Darkshot_47]

Definitely American English for me

[@aram5642]

British RP is not bad, I have actually enjoyed listening to a couple of tech courses led by a Brit in very clear English. But in general I prefer American. I also prefer reading -ize to -ise ;)

[@capsarius753]

To me British English is easier to understand

[@sabrinadasilva3894]

American 😍✨

[@englishtoexcel]

[@mehboobalilalani180]

Seriously, these tips are GOLD. You have to master these tips by heart if you want to pass the ultimate american english conversation litmus test. The test is called USED. Many people unknowingly took the test and many people failed miserably. Some even cried. Go find the test in movies, talk shows, and interviews. USED is an abbreviation of... - - - Understanding Sam Elliott Dialogues. With subtitles turned off, this excellent actor who starred in some of the greatest movies on the planet is THE bane of english as 2nd language students around the world.

Thanks, so glad you found the video helpful! 🙌

[@rherbert57]

As a native English speaker, I often use these "contractions" when communicating via text with other native English speakers. As you said, though, it's definitely a no-no in more formal communications. It always depends on the situation. It's always fun to be made to realise what you're doing. ;-)

[@englishtoexcel]

Yep, we absolutely use these contractions in texts! I also use them in informal emails with friends and family, for example.

I have been learning english from my school time. I can read an english newspaper and understand bulk of content in them. But i cant speak fluently yet.I cant understand when people speak fast, especialy native speakers.you persuaded me the reasons for that.Finally, i guess you should be from califonia or southern part of USA .for me accent of southern part is easy to understand, than north part. Thats how i guessed it. Thank you so much.

Hello, I'm from Peru and I love learning English with any teacher I find here on the platform. So now, I want to get used to the sounds of the language informal version although I know my English level isn't very high yet. And I'm also very used to the American accent which makes me so happy and mindful of my progress. 🥰

[@vitoryuri5853]

Very helpful, thanks 👏👏, about British or American English i think it depends of our native language, like for me(i'm brazilian) american english is easier than british

[@englishtoexcel]

That could very well be true. Also has a lot to do with the exposure you have to the language - many people in South American countries have more familiarity with American English, due to the cultural exposure and close proximity of the US.

One more has popped into my mind, rarely mentioned at schools: "that'll". Which in turn reminded me of this famous slogan line from a commercial: "wait'll we get our Hanes on you" - a unique contraction of wait + till

[@englishtoexcel]

Great example! There are zillions of contractions - planning to do a video on contractions alone.

Excelente video , tengo una pregunta tambien los disertantes de un simposio hablan con contracciones ? Tengo uno de medicina sera posible tener problemas si hablan en esa forma ?

[@englishtoexcel]

Los nativos hablan siempre con contracciones - inclusive en simposios, presentaciones, reuniones de negocios, etc. Las únicas veces que no se usan sería en contratos y communication muy formal y oficial - por ejemplo communication con el gobierno, documentos académicos o investigación. Deseo esto conteste tu pregunta.

[@aram5642]

Another popular contraction is omitting (of?) the subject/pronoun in fast speech. 'Fancy some ice-cream?' 'Gotta run now, see you later'. But the context makes the subject self-explanatory. It is very gladly adopted by the English learners whose mother language has rich verb conjugation (like Italian or Slavic - where each grammar person has its own flexed form) and pronouns are normally skipped.

[@englishtoexcel]

Yep, absolutely. I'll be making more videos on this subject in the future, lots more tips/things to know and be aware of here.
