I am Able to understand movies only with subtitles , you, professor , I can understand without subtitles. Your pronunciation is much better

[@huongnguyenvan861]

Just because you pronounce each word clearly, distinctively, and more importantly, slowly. Therefore I can understand you easily. Unlike people in movies, they talk very fast and they often seem to "swallow" some vowels in the words, making it really difficult or impossible to undertand their speeches.

[@DCxDemo]

There is also this opportunity to literally look in the mouth of your teacher, which is usually kind of impolite in real life and movie scenes are either shot too far from the speaker or cut in a way you can't always see them. It gives extra information that the brain can use to reconstruct the sound we did not recognize by ear. Thus, it's so difficult to get into listening without looks in the mouth.

Muchas felicitaciones por sus programas, me gustan mucho y aprendo, un abrazo

[@arturabizgeldin9890]

I was fortunate enough once to meet a native English speaker who spoke the way Greg's tutoring. It was so delightful to communicate with him. Even my wife, whose English level wasn't higher than A2 back then, noticed that his speech was way easier to understand than she could have expected. He is not a teacher but he is from England as well. And I see the same feature across the other speaker from England.

[@ingushas]

I suffered for 2-3 years when I first arrived to London. I put a lot of work on my English, but the problem always was to understand the native speakers and different dialects. To make matters worse, native speakers generally never slow down! Even when they see you struggling to understand. And people from north never correct their pronunciación for you to what could sound more like Queen’s English. I could never understand why. Maybe they never learn general English 🤔. I speak my mother tongue in my regional dialect, but I can speak in a general dialect also, because that is what we were taught at school. So I could not understand why people would not just make a bit of effort to speak ‘correct’ English with us, foreigners. Oh well…. After 20 years in the UK now I can understand everyone from anywhere speaking English 👍

[@CloudslnMyCoffee]

I think it depends on mindset. Many would not make an effort to correct themselves because they didnt think how they spoke was incorrect. I'm sure many of them could be more formal for professional situations, but why would they be formal and tightly wound for their daily life?

[@rubeng2409]

A few ago, I was watching a documentary of your compatriot Simon Reeves and even without reading the subtitles (I deactivated), I understood a few (and I must stressed "a few" by now :) ). Of course I disable the subtitles of your videos and even I dare to accelerate the speed of the videos and still I understand you :) Maybe is just a "self suggestible trick". Send you a fist or elbow bump from here!

[@chimak8332]

many foreigners work in NHS . their English pronunciation is sometimes difficult to understand

[@nataliedani8766]

Thank you, dear Greg, for your help! I am trying to download your free book but, unfortunately, without any result(( There's nothing either in my inbox or in spam. Looking forward for your reply)))

[@lbvnrw]

Perfect that's what the non native speaker likes so that it's easy to understand👍

[@isabelvicente8172]

Pode fazer um video sobre o nome dos ossos no nosso corpo???

[@Inquirro]

Video games helps me a lot to understand native speakers. You may listen the same phrases thousand times and finaly you get used to them.

[@marcellopanza6712]

Teacher, I was very happy because I had found a teacher that I could follow and understand perfectly. But after this video, I realized that i keep being stupid. thanks a lot for your classes, they are fantastic.

not stupid, just still learning!

[@vasaorlov4776]

So actually Greg has just recommended to stop listening Greg and turn up tv series instead great appreciate your honesty of course it doesn't change that some people still need your lessons thanks Greg

[@EnglishWithGreg]

😂 I like to think people watch my lessons to LEARN things, for which I need to explain things in clear, easy to understand English. Great idea to supplement this with some English TV, though, of course! 😀

Hello I belong to India hello sir what is difference between don't and do not

[@EnglishWithGreg]

Don't is the contraction (the shorter way to say it). This is much more common in spoken English and informal written English, but when we write formally we always use "do not".

[@abraxxas2013]

The passive voice is not a tense.

[@cavesalamander6308]

The English seem to like to put words together when pronouncing them, just as the Germans do. Only the Germans went much further and connected words not only in oral, but also in written speech (see Mark Twain with his "Hottentottenbegriffsstutzigstotternmutterbeutelrattenbedecktlattengittermörder").

[@ahmadkadhimabd780]

Always always I understand teachers but by no means I understand native

[@albertomartin3726]

Hello Greg. can you send me the mail where you explain your coming back to work. DELETE again. Alberto

[@michalkorecky9935]

Personally, I think that's a direct road to the hell. The students get used to it and when push comes to shove, e.g. the call at work to the helpdesk doesn't answer "what can I do for you?" but "vatchacaňadafoja?" and you will be out of the game...

[@marcellopanza6712]

ahahahahaha exactely

[@johndereck304]

It's not only the connected speech that makes it hard for learners. In fact a lot of it is perfectly understood. The real problem is different accents and above all local dialects. I bought new kecks and went to a pub that was chockablock with mates who had a cob-on because the electric had disconnected and their scran couldn't be cooked.

[@joelmasamba6762]

You're totally right!!!!

[@joelmasamba6762]

I gotta understand any native speakers when it's comes to using dialect i actually don't understand so i conclude that your speaking is real

[@user-lx4ox9yx2i]

Please make a video do not avoiding using connected speech, linking words, without emphasizing important words, using complex grammar structure, fast English, do not slow down the words. In short, speak natural like a real native speaker. Please make a video about everyday English that you use with your coworkers, colleagues and friends, that you use behind the scenes, casual English that you use outside the KZbin. I hope that everything is clear. Thumbs up!

[@plrc4593]

8:22 Jesus Christ, how can native speakers thus massacre a language? Despite English is slurred as it is, natives try to make it as slurred as possible :(
