That's was very helpful nd super clear for me thanks

[@Englishwithkim]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Danipallone]

This have just blown my mind. As a spanish speaking person married to an english speaking person, this makes absolute sense! From now on I will approach every argument/conversation with an "essay" structure. I think it will make my life so much easier! Thanks for breaking this down!

[@Englishwithkim]

Thanks for sharing your experience with me! Sometimes the way we structure our ideas can help people "hear" us better.

[@bookofmillions]

Spanish speaker here too 😂 Kim and these videos and the site helped me more than me mumbling and avoiding questions... while reading some other sites. Her pronouncing is #clear and nice!

[@PetulaGuimaraes]

Thank you! I realized a cultural difference in how I write in English versus my mother tongue. This is a useful video on the topic. In fact, the best one I’ve found so far

[@Englishwithkim]

You're most welcome! I appreciate the kind words. I'm happy this helped to identify these differences!

[@ndukanwankwo8393]

Wow! Staying focused on getting your main idea across really improved my concentration and communication ability, you would think everyone does this, but not everyone, just realized this was a problem for me

[@Englishwithkim]

That's very insightful! I'm happy to hear staying focused is helping your concentration and communication. Like most skills, it is simple, but it doesn't mean it's easy, or that everyone does it consistently!

[@khaledreisha8598]

Hi kim. Your lessons are excellent but i face dificulties to follow and understand yr paragraphs due to removing the silence time . I would recommend to leave the silence time as is . You may share this point to your followers and consider the most appriporiate feedback. Thx

[@Englishwithkim]

I understand what you're saying. Cutting out the silence is super common on KZbin to keep people's attention and to make videos as short as possible. That said, it doesn't work for everyone. In my more recent videos, I make an effort to leave more space between ideas.

[@jessikalovetoteach]

Great video Thank you!

Can I connect wit you for personal classes

[@Englishwithkim]

It depends on what you're interested in working on! If you'd like to get my feedback on your voice and how you sound in English, we can meet for an accent coaching session. You can learn more about coaching and courses here: englishwithkim.com/work-with-me/

[@deepakkumarjha9419]

These sentences are even helpfull at the time of interview also. Bcz in many answers we need time to think. 😂

[@Englishwithkim]

Very true! You don't have to get it right immediately - you can clarify in order to make sure your point is clear.

[@eliezermexicanimation]

I realize that. When the client was upset o bad mood I get nervous, cause I am working in the cheapest service company oir policy is totally unlike

[@Englishwithkim]

When you have an unhappy client, this is when it is even more important to use this simple, effective structure to deliver your message. Generally when someone is in a bad mood, they have less patience to wait for the main point.

[@adilasahir3445]

I want to speak fluently bt my family is urxu speaking so how can i practice 😒

[@Englishwithkim]

These are my best suggestions on how to practice your writing and speaking on your own: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hme4iaiFftaHd5I

[@mzilg]

This is great information! I felt like I was listening to a reporter or eLearning voiceover (very sing song). 😅 I also wouldn't agree with everything in this video. Overall, good info. (I used to teach ESL).

[@Englishwithkim]

Well, if you used to teach ESL, then you know what it's like to adapt your voice and speaking style to help people follow what you're saying! This video is intended as a starting place for non-native speakers who are often given vague feedback on how they express their ideas. As with any guidance or advice, it's up to each person to experiment and find what works best for them.

[@ravindrasingh897]

I believe and believe that where English comes from and start speaking with handles because if you talk to others, then what will be spoken next?, You will not understand, then you will speak with confidence, it is not my mother tongue, it is another language for me, I can't speak fluently, so the another person will don't make fun you, I believe that

[@Englishwithkim]

Could you clarify what you mean by "speaking with handles?" Are you talking about understanding and predicting the flow of conversation?

[@ravindrasingh897]

I tell you that, someone speaking you English, you are replying that in English, if you don't know totally, so I am speaking little bit, can't understand totally, and you are speaking very fast, students can't understand you, AUR MUJHE English NAHI AATI, aage bolo

[@ravindrasingh897]

and teaching slowly, you know that's your language not my language, and another country person language, if you will telling fast, so I will give you answer in my Hindi language

[@Englishwithkim]

People watching KZbin videos have different levels of English proficiency. This is why I include captions/subtitles on all of my videos. I choose to speak at a normal speed in my videos because I work with advanced and fluent English speakers. There are many other English-related channels on KZbin if my videos are not helping you.

[@nmstudy5155]

Please give pronunciation more or less 30 words in every lesson. I like your pronunciation so much. Thanks, From Cambodia!!!

[@Englishwithkim]

As I mentioned in this video, you want to be able to better use the language that you already have in order to communicate clearly. In my opinion, there are not specific phrases or sentences that will help you sound more fluent. Learning how to organize and present your ideas is more important.

[@maryvelez1523]

Hello dear Kim: My name is Mary. I have a very important meeting. I do not want to specify in public. I would like to see if you can couch me in saying what I need to say my presentation clearly, organized and to the point. Are you available? Thanks Mary.

[@Englishwithkim]

Thanks for introducing yourself, Mary. I'm happy to hear these videos have been helpful for you. Unfortunately, I'm not able to offer coaching with regards to legal matters. I can definitely understand why you want to be organized and prepared before this upcoming meeting, and I wish you the best. Thank you for understanding.

[@NavjotSinghpatiala]

true English audience wants to not to learn they just want the speaker to tell them what they will tell then tell again what you told.....

[@Englishwithkim]

Telling people what you're going to tell them is about setting expectations. When you're telling them, they'll be more likely to remember what you said because you're repeating it again. When you summarize what you've said, you help cement the ideas in their memory.

[@saikojin1879]

why she sounds about to cry to me?

[@Englishwithkim]

Interesting! I think my voice may sound a little strained because I'm speaking at the higher end of my vocal range. I notice I sometimes do this when I'm trying to project my voice into the microphone. Besides that, even though this video is short, I had been recording videos for hours at this point. My voice was tired, as was my brain.
