Learn English – How to Listen and Understand

I could not catch the fifth idea. Not clear to me.

nobuko

It means: Judge the content, but not the way of speaking people.

Nikolay

means: judge the content (the principal idea)but not the way of speaking the people who share with you that idea.

leouribelopez

It was easy, that means you have to focus on the idea of the message and not the rithm, fluency or intonation the speaker has.

Julio Cesar

good lesson

studientisaac

thank you very much for your great effort
very good lesson

laila

Hi, teacher, Could you explain me the second question in the quiz please what it means about the times. I don’t need to listen a faster speaker to understand the english but in a normal speech.I don’t know the speed but why the correct is three to four times.

pafsilipoclub

Love ya James! I try to keep things all you said.
These are all such wonderful guidance.

karthickkumar

I understand it as “listen even if you dont like how the speaker is talking”

Hello James. Excellent your class about how to improving English by listening.
I think it’s really important understanding the general idea and not understanding word by word. I do not know if this is a common worry for another countries English learners but it’s a very common behavior for the students in my country. Most of my students are letting this habit back and their English is improving on a daily basis. Result: they are more confident when communicating despite their mistakes or accents.
Thanks very much for your time and congratulations to EngVid for the amazing and impressive English video-classes quality.

Rodivaldo (Rod for short) - Brazil

Excellent I always have told my friends who study English and try to translate word by word that English is a language of interpretation, not translation and I’ve always advised them to try to capture the idea in the context.

It’s so strange that you mentioned Croatian language. I thought no one has ever heard of it. There is a good reason for that, I guess, or you are good at Geographic.

It’s like the same as Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrian (yeah, Montenegrian, the new language that has nearly nothing else different from Serbian one. They just decided to create their own language after independence) and they are all made by Serbian language.
Croatia did a good job of reforming their language and now it has the most difference, but practically is very, very similar to all of them.

It is like UK English and US English. There are differences in some of the words, spelling, dialect (ekavian and jekavian) and pronounce, but is clearly understandable.

I wrote this just to let you know more, since you mentioned it.

I think this lesson is very good, but I also think that without a rich vocabulary is not that as easy as you said.

P. S. Since I’m not a native speaker, it would be really helpful for me if you point me to mistakes I made in this writing. It will be a way to improve myself a little (little bit?) more.

Thank you in advance.

RanchCowboy

James is a bit busy, but I will correct your comment. Most of your mistakes are minor. Your English is very good!

It’s so strange that you mentioned THE Croatian language. I thought no one HAD ever heard of it. MAYBE there is a good reason for that, or you are good at GEOGRAPHY.

It’s the same as Serbian, Bosnian, and MontenegrIn (yeah, Montenegrin, the new language that has nearly nothing different from Serbian. They just decided to create their own language after independence.) They are all DERIVED FROM THE Serbian language.

Croatia did a good job of reforming their language and now it has many differences, but practically IT is very, very similar to all of them.

It is like UK English and US English. There are differences in some of the words, spelling, AND IN THE dialectS (ekavian and jekavian) and pronUNCIATION, but SPEAKERS OF EACH OF THE LANGUAGES ARE clearly understandable TO ONE ANOTHER.

I wrote this just to let you know more, since you mentioned it.

I think this lesson is very good, but I also think that without a rich vocabulary, IT is not that as easy as you said.

P.S. Since I’m not a native speaker, it would be really helpful for me if you point OUT TO me mistakes I made in writing THIS. It will be a way to improve myself a little (little bit?) (BOTH ARE FINE) more.

Thank you in advance.
THANK YOU, RANCHCOWBOY!

Qunicy

It was fun lesson. I have a question. There are many kinds of listenig books for listening practicing. Most books have dictation parts on workbooks. But you say we don’t have to listen each word. we try to catch the general idea. Then what kind of book is good for listening practice?

kyoung mi

you are N1 :)

rati

I have problem with undersdanding somebody very often. My main mistakes are my EMOTIONS. When I talk with somebody I am very nervous and I forgot a lot of words and I don’t know what said…it’s frustrating. Day by day I watch Your lessons and i feel better. I believe that I can do this, like You.
Thanks,
Mathew

mateusz

Thanks for your lesson. It’s very fun. But i could not clearly get the four ideal “Open mind (emotion). Sometimes i hear someone speaking, I did not hear what they say. As you mention i should ignore what they say and then guess(idea) it later, right? and in the third “Longer” idea, it mean i have to practice ?
Thanks again!

Hi James,
Thank you very much for your wonderful video. I would say your are simply the best. All most all virtual classes are eye opener for me and now I am thinking why am didn’t search your video before. I am looking for your kind suggestion regarding my listening ability. According to your lecture that you said just grab the general ideas. But if you don’t know anything that the content, how do I detect which is most important and which are redundant. I would be more than happy if you suggestion that specific area for me.

nia

i am bad in listening

varinder

I learned English so many years, about thirty years, not so hard of course, but I can’t understand TV, so frustrated.
I have to translate english to my language to understand it. I think the reason is that I listen few. Maybe it need 2000 hours to listen Engilsh to understand it, the real listening. By the way, I want to know that writing can help me improving.

Liu

hello. i’m glad when i found this website. i’ve studied English for a long time. But my skill’s still too bad. What should i do:((

Hatem

Greetings from Croatia, thank you for excellent lesson and mentioning of the Croatian language.

Also I would like to say hello to my neighbor from Serbia who had interesting comment above. I know this isn’t the place for this kind of discussion but please don’t believe Serbians everything they wrote. Unfortunately for him, it’s true that Croatian and Serbian language have common roots and they are very similar, but Croatian isn’t product of Serbian language.

Sorry for this disputes, and please keep on going with great lessons.

Wow! It’s a very good class, I can understand everything you say, word by word. Your accent is very easy to understand. I live in Brazil, and a few people from Brazil just can’t speak english because of their accents, but I think it’s normal to those people who are learning the english language. Thanks in advance.

Hi, my name is Edinaldo. I am from Brazil (Rio de Janeiro). I have been trying to learn English a long time but as Brazil borders only countries that speak spanish not English my understanding gets hard to improve. We are the only country in South America THAT SPEAK portuguese and not spanish like everyone thinks so if I wanna learn it I have to pay for English classes. Engvid is another tool that is helping a lot. Thanks!

Edinaldo Pereira Dos Santos

hi , I’m italian and I’m trying to learn listening english… I’m watching english series tv and a lot of films … so in your opinion , I’ll be able to understand english when someone talks to me?

WIIIFY (from the “WIIIFM”)? Contact me via my email adress so that we can talk about that issue. If you’re not available, maybe Adam is? I have listened to several teachers here, they’re all good but, I would like to work with Mr E./James or Adam.
I hope that this will be possible. Looking forward your answer.
Cheers

Very helpful rules for English speakers understanding. Thank you, James! Another one additional rule which I invented for myself. I’m trying to associate or imagine how would I perceive an information or particular phrase in my native laguage. On this wave it’s easy to transfer these sensations for better perception of ideas.

KashtanchikZoo

In English

KashtanchikZoo

Wow, speaking quickly my brain works so fast than I have to use all my senses to understand and I must also change my mind to a sharp one. I have to write the ideas and take note because it was difficult to follow and chain the topics. Thanks a lot teacher James from Engvid, optimistically, open minded and delivering oportunism.
