This is very interesting! , Spanish is my tongue language, and we have “the good listener’s rules” , which is basically a list of steps that you must follow to have a conversation, we learn this rules at school and home , one of the rules is “listen in silence to the one speaking”

[@antoniodelima1990]

Hi Annemarie. I live in Brazil. The oral sounds and words we use in Brazilian Portuguese are very similar to those you showed used by English speaker s. Obviously it's not easy to represent them in written form. We also say "entendi" that is "I have understood". Thank you for your very precious classes.

Thank you @Speak Confident English for such a healthy tip you are sharing with us it would prove beneficial for us. In Pakistan we commonly use "جی جی " pronounced as simply "g g" and comparable to "hmmm " and "اچھا" "acha" in weigh to "OK OK " Hope this one is positive addition from my side.

[@HectorViolinzuela]

Hello, I recently discovered you. I'm at level B1 and I can say you're easy to understand, with a comfortable speed. This lesson is very interesting, so I subscribe to your channel. About the body language, I use it especially when it's important, when I want to give a real impact, that makes a change with a normal conversation.

[@Speakconfidentenglish]

Thank you! 😃

[@sucreke8497]

I am Chinese,when we listen other person speaking,we don't use verbal cues because that will give the speaker the impression that you lose your patient to listen,so we just respond when other person finished his speech and use to verbal cue

[@lorivalgomesmartello4592]

Thank you so much Annemarie, one precious lesson more. Over the years I have built a mixed way to express myself into Spanish, Portuguese and lately Franch, so I don't know exactly how I hear people and which are the verbal clues I use. To listening others I make eye contact not fixed of course and I also use to look at the hands the person who talk to me. You, for exemple use your hands as an important tool to comunicate yourself, its work perfectly, I think if I'd wacht a video of you where you speak without your hands I wouldn't undestand anything. You also have very beautiful hands. Keep doind it please. And Thank you again for everything you're doing for me. You're a great coach!!!

[@marwanmilhem20]

Hello everyone, my name Aboubakar and I'm from a french speaking Country (Côte d'Ivoire). I've been leaning English since I was In the High school. I've got some communications skills and now I am looking for a partner language friend, specifically a native speaker to practice my English. So, if you're interested, just answered me and we'll make a plan. Thank you!

I am very interested in this video. Thank you.

[@elzbietalijewska4332]

Thank you, Annemarie for your lesson, especially for the tips what to do when someone isn't listening to you during conversation. I'm rather good at active listening, so good that I have little opportunity to speak by myself! So when I have a chance to speak (very rare) I continue too long and eventually lose someone's attention. Here in Poland we use very similar verbal cues and sounds as English speakers do but we aren't so noisy, I think.

[@ThinkPositiveEnglish]

Very interesting video, thanks! I am working with an Italian student (C2 level) and this topic has come up in her lessons. I think the cultural differences are very important here; in Italian, apparently they do not use so many verbal supporting sounds as we do in English. In fact, my student told me that she finds it disconcerting when I say 'mmm' as I am listening to her! Will definitely be showing her this video!
