in brief: In this video, the speaker discusses why English language learners might find it easier to understand educational videos on KZbin but struggle with understanding native speakers in movies, TV shows, or real life. The answer is broken down into four categories: vocabulary, speaking speed, pronunciation/articulation/accent, and context. 1-Vocabulary: Educational videos use simpler, more common vocabulary, while native speakers in movies or real life might use idiomatic expressions and slang. 2-Speaking speed: Teachers in educational videos speak slower and more clearly, while native speakers may speak faster and use linking, which can be challenging for learners. 3-Pronunciation, articulation, and accent: In educational videos, speakers enunciate their words and use a consistent accent, while in movies or real life, there may be various accents and speaking styles. 4-Context: Native speakers often use cultural references, idioms, and expressions that may be unfamiliar to learners. The speaker encourages viewers to continue working on their listening skills through regular exposure to different accents and to not get discouraged, as even native speakers might struggle with understanding certain accents or expressions.

After being defeated by several videos, it's quite glad to find a video I can almost understand. I don't feel like foolish this time. It's just because the vocabulary and accent of the native speaker stopping me from understanding. Thank you very much. Appreciate it!

[@annaspeaks373]

I actually started to watch educational video on KZbin and then I added videos from native speakers and after that movies became understandable. It takes time just keep practicing 😊

[@باقررحيم-غ2ح]

While you're practicing Did you become a good speaker? I mean, Do we able to be a good speaker just with listening? When I wrote this, I didn't know that "able" is adjective. So it's "are we able not do we able" 😆👍

Unfortunately, improving your listening skills won't necessarily help you speak more fluently, but you can definitely learn realistic, natural phrases to pepper in to your speaking vocabulary 😄

[@onikmolla6231]

In fact, British and American moviegoers tend to speak broken English. It is difficult to understand. I sympathize with you for making a video on how to understand.

[@alexandra.v]

I have a relative that I can't speak with, even though she speaks my native language. Her accent is so strong that I simply don't understand her. That's why I don't worry about understanding native English people anymore. My advice as a person with intermediate-to-advanced level is to listen to authentic English content first. You get exposed to real English. If you can't understand, change the speed of the material first, then listen to it naturally. Check if there are subtitles or transcripts (in English!) and feel free to use them. I had and still have this problem. Sometimes the sound is not clear, but it is normal not to understand everything.

I understand you 100% at 1.75x speed because your speech is articulated but cannot understand movies frequently because the actors usually mumbles, mutters, split the sounds wanting to look natural. In old movies it was different

Basically English is just a language which needs regular practice. With all the four aspects of reading , speaking , listening and writing the most important is speaking like many millions of non- native english speaker I also struggle to speak English in a better way .. But then I Think whether I have to improve my Grammar of some crucial topics like Tense , articles and all others .Please guide us regarding this confusion . Lots of Love from India ❤

[@LeoListening]

Hey Anna. Thanks for sharing your take on this. As some other people in the comments have added, there are also some issues to do with the way sound is captured and mixed on movie sets these days. That said, all your other observations and advice are completely relevant. I've lived in France for 16 years (I'm from the UK) and I can understand almost everything I hear, unless someone has a really unusual accent. But I still find some movie dialogue hard to catch. Even my French partner can find some lines a bit tricky! Totally agree with getting out of your comfort zone and listening to material that's challenging. It leads to the greatest rewards and growth, even if it's hard at first. And yes, references are a nightmare. Gilmore Girls is a series with tons of references I don't understand! So many of them are to do with American sport or old movies and singers. You certainly learn a lot when you watch it if you look this stuff up afterwards.

[@rawasalah9073]

Great video But I think another reason is movies are just getting harder to understand sometimes you can’t clearly hear the dialogue There are some videos about it

[@ahihihi465]

i almost knew what you said since i’ve started learn Eng for 8 months

[@riversider681]

To compound the problem, many native speakers complain that movies are getting harder to understand because the speaking parts are not loud enough to hear clearly. Not only that but the images are too dark to see the whole scene clearly.. This is not misperception, it is real. the reason for this is to make the content so it can be broadcast in many different formats without re-editing and mixing it. Making adjustments so many can enjoy but nobody gets an ideal presentation.

[@timbuktu8069]

There was a British TV show that for some reason had a microphone pointed at the gravel. So as the characters made some important comments all I could hear was crunch-crunch-crunch.

[@Jungleangie]

Thank you for pointing this out! I (German native speaker) have been living, working (including tour guiding) and teaching in Australia for 15 years. My English is certainly fairly professional. I understand any and every conversation, I often turn the speed of podcasts to 1.5 and can deal with any accent. However: I struggle with movies. I, too, believe they are not clear and loud enough. German movies are way easier to understand. And this is not because this is my first language. In any other context I speak English just as well as I speak German. But English movies suck when it comes to understanding.

[@homuru.578]

@@Jungleangie Brazilian native speaker here, i don't consider myself fluent yet, but i'm pround enough to say that i've a decent intermediate English level, but when i watch hollywood movies especially those with a lot of action i just feel like i've learned almost nothing at all xD, i can comprehend 98% of tv shows like South Park for example(without subtitles), but when i watched Deadpool and Wolverine (without subtitles too) i've struggled a lot, and it's not like when i struggle with Peak and Blinders for the accent itself, it's just another thing which i can't explain, and i guess it just wasn't loud and clear enough as you've said, but idk.

Funny when you said that they're about 30 accents in the U.S., and I remembered someone once commenting that 120 years ago, people in N.Y., that moved all over the city, some could tell what "neighborhood" you were from by how you spoke. The City and burroughs had 30 accents - ALONE.

[@allengreg5447]

"In the twisted tapestry of life, women stand as the most pragmatic pillars of human existence. Their relentless resilience and unwavering pragmatism keep the chaotic machinery of society from grinding to a halt. While dreams and lofty ideals float aimlessly in the ether, it is the ceaseless labor of women that roots the world in harsh, gritty reality. From the thankless toil of nurturing the next generation to the often-overlooked brilliance in myriad professions, their contributions are the unsung ballast against the tides of human folly. Acknowledging this isn't mere praise, but a stark recognition of the indispensable utility they embody in a world eager to drown in its own delusions."

Merci pour cette vidéo. Tous les points que vous avez relevés sont pertinents. Ça fait plus de trois ans que j'utilise l'anglais au quotidien, j'ai lu énormément de livres, regardé énormément de vidéos sur internet. À force de regarder du contenu vidéo en anglais uniquement depuis des années, je me suis habitué au vocabulaire et aux accents utilisés aux USA au point d'être très à l'aise avec les films et les séries en anglais sans sous-titres. Mais même après tant de pratique, parfois il y a des phrases entières que je ne comprends pas dans les films. Je vais continuer à m'exercer. Je préfère écrire en français parce que c'est dans cette langue que j'ai fait toutes mes études, je peux donc mieux exprimer mes idées. Après tout, celui qui sera intéressé par le commentaire va le traduire. Depuis Yaoundé, Cameroun.

I'm an American. When I watch British television I often need captions and I need to rewind largely because of strange colloquialisms and slang. ("I'll need to pippen the tuppence when Mary comes to call.") WTF?

[@timbuktu8069]

@@KlaimirAlejandroAmadorGa-ke5oi Generally yes. And there is what I call "News Reader" English that everybody understands. But as an example, I just watched an episode of Campion with Peter Davidson. He would pepper his conversations with obscure literary references. He commented that a local illiterate man studied "reeling and writhing" and that the locals no longer wore woad. He made more sense as Dr. Who.

Whispers of Dawn In the quiet hush before the dawn, Where shadows stretch and dreams are drawn, A single star in velvet skies, Reflects the spark within your eyes. The fields of gold in summer's grace, Mirror the light upon your face, Where sunflowers stand tall and true, Their hearts, like mine, reach out to you. Beneath the ancient, whispering trees, Where every leaf sings melodies, The river’s song, so soft and clear, Is but a shadow when you're near. For in your smile, the world does bloom, Dispelling night’s encroaching gloom, With every glance, a story told, A love that’s timeless, pure, and bold. O Ukraine’s daughter, strong and bright, You are my muse, my guiding light, In you, the beauty of the land, In you, the strength to always stand. So as the dawn begins to rise, And morning breaks with golden ties, Know that my heart is ever true, Inspired and cherished, all by you.
