    My father brought me up as a gentleman here in the UK, then I spent 20 years rebelling, only to find myself again. A lot of things he told me you mention in this video. Not using superlatives, correct pronunciation, not interrupting, speaking clearly. He only bought his clothes from Oxford St in London. He would have enjoyed this channel.

    The rules according to me (psychiatric nurse): 1) Eliminate profanity from your vocabulary, even in the company of other men. 2) Look at the person you are speaking to -- don't look down or away. 3) Use good diction. Speak clearly without slurring. 4) Suit your tone to the environment. When upset, concentrate to stay calm and use a normal or even a gentle tone of voice. 5) Do not invade people's personal space, or touch them without permission -- just ask if you can give a hug. The advice here is also good.

      Hmmm, well I understand, within the context of culture, however I personally think to view this as polite and diplomatic is itself a western-centric p.o.v. because surely if you are Japanese, and you know it just means 'no', then it would be no more or less polite. ( An example being the English ' sorry'. We say it, when we hardly ever mean it). Secondly, isn't it more congruent and straightforward to say what you mean? Again, this is my English p.o.v.

    The “don’t flex on your new vocabulary too soon” part is perfectly spot on. Not only for the risk that you might get it wrong, but also knowing direct translation from the dictionary without in-depth understanding of the cultural context can turn things sour in some cases. One time we were talking in German about our summer camp experience and someone use the word Lager, I was horrified and had to explain what the word really meant

    You and Tracy Hensel are literally my weekly re-education on what are classy men and women from top to bottom and I so appreciate it. I cannot stop watching your videos, Sven! Even though I am a woman I feel that it is just as important to know many of these things as men do. When I was young, nobody taught me these things. So I had no understanding on what is a lady, or what is a gentleman. It's always refreshing to my mind to learn about these topics especially if I can pass them on to younger generations. Unfortunately your description of the 3 yr old boy saying the F-word because of his parents influence is all too true, and I don't want to be one of those parents. I want to raise a respectable boy, and a ladylike daughter, and I like to think that is what I am striving to help achieve today with my children.

    About vocabulary: the very best thing is to not oly have a large vocabulary but to have it in multiple languages. English speakers are most often monolingual and if that is you I urge you: learn another language. It will change your life. No kidding, a new language is not a list of alternative words, it's a different world view. Learning languages can be done at any age, I learned a new language in my fifties. I now speak four at a fluent or near fluent level. Again: it will change your life.

    I’ve always really admired is people that have a big vocabulary and just know how to spice up certain words to make conversations more interesting. I have a small European auto shop that I own with my business partner. Quite a blue-collar environment. But my clients range from real estate professionals to lawyers and doctors and dentists to local college students and everyone in between. So naturally I get to converse with people of all backgrounds. Also people from each of those groups I considered to be my really good clients and it’s always refreshing to hear higher intellectual vocabulary out of people my age, in early 20s mid 20s etc. The subject matter is of course always about cars but it’s nice when I get to know a thing or two about the personal lives of the people whose cars I repair.

Then use it 5 times during that day. Do the same thing every day over the course of a year and you will have expanded your vocabulary by 365 words.

Alas, I was going to share the video, with my students’ parents, but there is a swear word in this video. Overall, well done.

    I like the point on pronunciation. It doesn't even need to concern complicated or rarely used words - but properly pronouncing everyday words actually gives me a better impression of others.
    The most widely mispronounced words I've heard in English tend to be 'February', 'sixth' and, in the south of the US, 'ask'. Pronouncing these words correctly always gives me a more positive impression of someone.

    For once I agree with you completely. All true and well observed and worthy of being followed.
    One little suggestion though: a more even flow of articulation might be experienced as more pleasant than speaking fast for a few words, then making a break, then proceding fast again followed by yet another pause, as if you were in a stop-and-go traffic jam. However, that might be what you usually do since you mentioned you would speak faster on TH-cam than in normal life.

    Besides the quality and pertinence of the video (spot on), the outfit is beautiful. I love the effect of matching trousers and vest and an odd jacket, too few other people do that - most commonly they match the tops and wear odd trousers.

    The Japanese sure knows how to become gentleman with their speech.but really the way we speak speaks loudly about what we are.i really appreciate the above advice and I will use it to my betterment.the narrator is really capable.

    I believe that being a gentleman is more in your actions than words. I was never raised to speak propper, and I feel insincere when I force myself to speak that way. I won't drop F bombs in casual conversation, but I will speak my mind, and clearly. If that means I cuss now and then, I will.

    I was born in Scotland and now live in Australia. One of the first things I noticed when I moved was everyone said like, all the time. E.g. 'So like I was going down to the shops and like there was my friend there and we were like OMG i like haven't seen you in like for ever.'

    When I speak in a public forum, I tend to address an item in threes, similar to Dr. King, but my cadence and inflection is that of Ralston Hill, playing Charles Thompson in "1776". In private, I can be too boisterous out of passion for my subject, but when I speak calmly, I tend to a more ... hmmm ... British movie villain? ... approach. Otherwise, I simply speak perky, and happily to everyone, and try to communicate a few words in whatever language is their mother tongue, if I can. It appears to put older folk at ease, that you might know something of their culture.
    But that's just me.

    Situation : When someone does you a favor going the extra mile
    Approach 1 : Thank you for your time and generosity for doing this for me.
    Approach 2: Sorry for the trouble and thank you for your time and generosity.
    (please do feel free to rephrase my sentence)

    One thing that gets me today is the casual “you guys” when addressing a group, especially mixed company. No women are ladies and men are gentlemen (or at least they should be). How we speak to one another reflects on how we will treat one another. No wonder people have gender identity issues. Alternatives to “you guys” when addressing mixed company can include “you folks”, “you all” or “y’all” I’m a Southerner so I often use the later, but all work.

    One of the reasons I follow your videos is because you do not use crutch words, e.g. you know, err, like. I have ended subscriptions to other videos because of the bad English. Speech is as important as dress style. Keep up the good work.

  • @williamcreitz7759
    @williamcreitz7759 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Great video Sven. Very informative. Could I add one more reason not to swear? For those of us who don't swear, when we hear someone use a swear word, it immediately takes the focus off of the speaker's content and places it on the swear word. As a consequence, I--and my friends who don't swear--miss the next few minutes of what the speaker is trying to communicate because of the lingering effect of the swearing. Not recommended for anyone trying to make a point or convey an observation that would otherwise merit strict attention by the audience.

  • @gohantanaka
    @gohantanaka 6 ปีที่แล้ว +389

    Well, today is a first for me. A German says listening to Americans speak is “menacing.” Menacing.
    Meanwhile, ordering flowers for your wife in german sounds like you’re ordering an air strike.

    • @BlackAdder665
      @BlackAdder665 6 ปีที่แล้ว +59

      Uhm, have you listened to a regular non-WWII-SS-Gestapo-German recently? I think not.
      But to explain: in Germany anyone speaking above a certain volume without need (like when you're in a noisy environment) appears to be aggressive in one way or another. It's not that Americans do sound "menacing" because they're Americans or because of the language, but solely because, for our ears and custom, they are often waaay too loud. Same goes for arabic people. Although here the language itself probably contributes to the feeling of being threatened.

    • @alteye1
      @alteye1 6 ปีที่แล้ว +41

      This reminds me of those Americans who mispronounce the German "I love you" (Ich liebe dich) as "Ick libbuh dick" and then say German sounds awful.

    This video is not just one for men to pay attention to. Though an issue with learning, and using, words is the constant meaning alterations, often in such a way that what a person is using the word to mean may be contradictory to what it's true definition is. We see this quiet often in business environments where words will be adapted to serve new purposes, despite more appropriate/proper words being available, to the point that they are taken away from their correct meanings.
