"When you learn a new language, you become part of the community of that language." I was moved by this part because, for the first time, I felt within that community.🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵

[@laurachiar6086]

[@OneLade]

When you learn new language, you really become a part of their community. You start watching videos, read books, news in new language. Probably, now you can't talk with anyone, but in future, when you improve your language skills, you start do that too. I'm from Armenia and in my country not enough content in my native language. Even russian content become too boring for me. Due to that, i started learning english and it open for me new world with a lot of interesting content. Get luck :)

Another advantage of rephrasing is, that you show to your communication partner that you have been listening and are actively trying to understand what they are saying.

[@scifino1]

Yes, that is generally true, but it's worth pointing out that there is a way to rephrase things maliciously. This is a way to get someone you're arguing with to effectively say things that they did not intend to say. Sometimes, particularly, if you and the other person have slightly different mental models of what you're talking about, a genuine attempt to rephrase things in order to gain better understanding might be misinterpreted as an attempt to point out flaws in their argument, which may make them angry. So you need to be careful to not make it sound like that.

[@vitor.vieira]

I’m from Brazil and I understand everything you say. Thank you very much for your patience, help and English tips!

[@jillp1840]

Hah! I did that pretending I understood something today. But hear me out. I was driving our Ukrainian teenager from school to his new home today. He was saying something, but still speaks quite quietly, and I just didn't catch what he was saying. I pretended I didn't hear properly so he repeated himself - and I still didn't understand what he was saying. But ... obviously English isn't his first language (although he's pretty good at it now), but he's only really started talking to us in the past 6 months or so, and I valued his spontaneous communication more than possibly making him feel embarrassed by correcting him / asking him to repeat himself again. And I was driving, so needed to concentrate on that. So yes, I pretended I understood what he was saying on this occasion in order to keep the conversation lines open.

Hi Christian. I love your videos but I have to admit I didn't watch all of them. I regularly listen to your podcasts during driving. But there's one favourite that I don't find. You speak about your favourite glass that you wanted to use only on special occasions and you didn't allow your father using it. You taught me to see the life better and the story touched my heart. Could you name this video's title again for me? I wanna share it to others. Thanks for being so wise and very intelligent.

Your pragmatic approach speaks to me. Reasking to make sure you have understood everything correctly reminds me of the Ideological Turing Test which has nothing to do with ideologies but concerns with retelling the position of your interlocutor and then asking whether you catch one's idea.

Dear friend, your video came like a glove as I am always asking for "rephrasing" for a while in my job...I share with colleagues of different nationalities and the fear of repeating the question for the third time is brutally real..... I have even felt disappointment and questioned even my level of English even though I know that my knowledge is advanced when I talk to my colleagues "face to face"...maybe it is because in my job we use walkie-talkie all day long...anyway...I am very pleased that you have touched the topic in your channel.

I am very glad that I found this channel because it helps me a lot. I have been trying to learn English for about 1 year, from books and with the help of the KZbin channel. You can learn grammar from books, words with diligence. DE: if you have to understand something after hearing it, it's already very difficult for me. On this channel I can see the text and hear (for me at a normal speed) the text. I'm ashamed, but I'm like a small elephant: I learn with difficulty, I forget quickly. Indeed, the secret lies in dealing with the English language every day. Thank you and greetings from Budapest.
