I understand perfectly Emma's English, even she speaks British English and I'm studying American English.

[@ivantimofeev2684]

Surely, the first tip is pivotal. In my experience, I had to dedicate the abundance of time to language. However, if I learn language via something I have passion for, I’m gonna improve my listening skills profusely and quickly.

[@Irejcan]

My English was very weak since I listened to you my English has improved a lot.

[@bigdream_thh5279]

I'm from Vietnam and I can understand 100% what you said in 2x speed That justifies that you're not speaking too fast, it's just because, like you mentioned before, they are not exposed enough with English, so it's not surprising that they have a hard time capturing what you said

[@faisalbabar3519]

There was a teacher I remembered SabirRehman, one day he gave a lecture in the class in English, and I am not able to understand, going above my head but I got interested into his British Accent, because He has done his education from UK. After then I started getting interest in English, leads me to start Looking English Movies makes me too interested In English foreign accent. I had been working on BritishAccent for last 10 years its the hard work of 10 years that I can speak in their accent. People used to ask me that am I a foreign native, but I always reply them that one should adopt the habit of hard work. After that you can change yourself. All of you are requested to practice this language, do not think of the people, otherwise you will not be able to achieve anything in life.

[@vane5321]

Omg Emma this video is an eye opener. I've been working in Manchester for 5 year now in a executive position and it's still embarrassing when i don't understand what people say in meetings. It's affecting my self-esteem but I now know I should focus in norther accent connected speeche. Thanks so much.

[@jubas-kx4hz]

Woow, I find it amazing that you’re able to tell sotaque paulista from sotaque carioca. I’ve been to Lisbon and PORTUGUESE people there said they couldn’t quite hear differences between my accent (from São Paulo) and a friend’s (from Salvador), which are wildly different (we both have fairly stereotypical/thick accents from our birthplaces)

[@LearnAcademicEnglish]

They are very different! : ) My husband is from São Paulo so the Rio accent is noticeably different to me, but I like them both!

[@cristianedefariahenrique1815]

Dear Emma. I loved your suggestions. Thanks so much. I believe that the most difficult part for all english learners is the understanding/ listening. I'll try these method in my daily english learn routine. By the way, I'm originally from Brazil to be exactly from a small town about 1 hour from Rio de Janeiro. I've been living since 1996 in Germay. English is my favourite language and I love the british accent. I'm so delighted finding you on youtube. Greetings from Germany🙂.

[@pritomchowdhury9975]

Your teaching capability is very high ❤.

[@JaSumon-cu8tl]

One thing is remarkable here that your speech is very clear and easy to understand unlike other British. Your channel is worth watching, I will be following you, also you are very pretty

[@albert4666]

You're spot on this subject I got to the same conclusions after 14 years of watching films with subtitles. At some point you just have to turn them off and accept a bit of frustration for sometime but that will soon pay off. For me listening to the Archers really helped me as there is no video just audio which made it a bit harder to understand at first but after a couple of weeks my listening skills improved big time. The fact that you know other languages not just English gives you a better understanding of the whole learning process and potential obstacles the learners of english can face and that is something that not every English native speaker is aware of. Very good video Cheers.👍

[@riznaazir]

Archers?

[@sehbinpapark8165]

Emma, one of my strategies for improving my English is to shadow the native like you. I have been doing this for several weeks and I think It is getting more and more comfortable in mimicking. When I listen to other youtube such as deep learning, AI, etc I am interested in I found myself that It is easier to understand more clearly. Thanks for being a target speaker I shadow.

[@judithhabgood]

If after several weeks of listening to rapid speech there is no improvement, surely the listeners should be advised to go for a hearing test. One of the first signs of impending hearing loss is difficulty in understanding rapid speech. I have some hearing loss and have difficulty with rapid speech. Searching the internet for rapid speech as training, I found Emma. Emma, your speech is excellent for this purpose. Perhaps you should make a point of including the deaf in your courses. Audiology departments do not provide this training (as far as I know) so you would be providing a valuable service.

[@Lolo_lolo169]

Your tips are ver helpful because when I listen to anything thing specific for English leaners and listen to another thing not specific for English leaners I find huge differences between them

[@marcoaurelioa.4394]

Pronunciation and connective speech are definitely the keys. And for this reason your channel is crucial for an upper intermediate-advanced learner.

[@rosemariedefatimacancelari476]

Fantastic Emma, as always. Yes, we need to push us to leave the comfort zone. Since I realized that, I've been doing it and I swear that it is making a huge difference in my process of learning English. As I'm a student, I still struggle with some dialogues between natives, with some speeches that are some noises behind like music, for example, but I always try to listen to everything without subtitles, at least two times. I need to check the subtitles to see some words that I've never heard before (it always happens 😅) and check them if I understood correctly as well. Sometimes we become surprised with ourselves, we understood the words. It's only to trust us. Other times we don't understand just because we are not still familiar with the contractions, as you gave an example. Thank you!!!

[@Pronunciationwithemma]

You make some really good points :) And you're right! If you start exposing yourself to connected speech, contractions, etc. then you can start to understand them when listening.

[@faviorazeem5380]

I can understand what you're saying without turning on the subs. Actually, I think you speak perfectly, modulation and all those things. My biggest problem is when someone suddenly says sth such as an opinion in the news or in a short interview in a random video or when someone says short phrases. Idk I think, if I'm not in the atmosphere or context I can't understand what people saying. Or solely I may able to understand one person at once. Haha Greetings from México!
