I'm American, native speaker. Despite that, watching this is really interesting since, as a native speaker, you don't think much about grammar. Watching videos like these make you realize everything you never think about.
If all the teachers were like James, we Brazilian people would speak English so well!!!! I had to learn how to speak English myself. Courses here are so not helping and extremely expansive! So, I made do with what I had. Songs, books, videos, movies...
I always enjoy your videos. You have a great sense of humor, an effective teaching method, and a wonderful sensitivity to learners' actual needs. Works for me. Thanks!
I absolutely love pretty much every single one of your videos, James, been using them for English classes with my students for a while now. Keep it up!
What is explained in this video is, I believe, the most difficult and annoying part of the American English. I do appreciate your effort, James! Reading the comments, I've been strongly encouraged to know that there are so many students struggling to understand native speakers and wishing to overcome the diffculties. a 68- year- old man from Tokyo
Excellent video. Lots of useful tips here that English language students can benefit from. And I know how difficult it can be - sometimes I don't even understand the expressions my friend's use, haha.
Great lesson James! I teach in China and now over the years I have taught many Chinese in middle school, high school, universities and private companies. I am using this lesson to teach this Friday to my students who are studying to be interpreters in English. Thanks again !!
You know what...I gotta say: I literally have a great time watching your videos because I've recently found out that I love Canadian accent. That's why I love watching Keanu Reeves playing roles. Cheers from Brazil, buddy!! Keep up the good work!!
maybe I said this before. I was a student at Hansa in Toronto. you were my teacher. At that time I couldn't understand everything because you speak really fast. Now I live in San Francisco and my English is much better but also I wanna :) improve it. Your lessons are amazing. I'm going to share them with another Hansa friends that I still have. Cheers!!!
I'm an old fan of yours now trying to catch up your vids and getting some improvement. Even in big clients meetings it's very common to hear this "relaxed" speaking you mentioned but what I find more challenging is when people use too many slang, sometimes is still understandable by the context, sometimes it's just impossible. As I said I'm an old fan and something new to me is people saying thanks plus the country they're from. Not sure why is that but probably it's some video I haven't watched yet but anyway, thanks from Brazil! I'm one more in the list! BTW, you surely deserve that dollar, *dunno* if you were just kidding but you do deserve that, and I just found out how to support your work besides the like button. For those interested in, in the engvid website you can find the option to donate few bucks. Keep going!
It's true, slang can be very difficult to understand. But don't worry about understanding all slang expressions. Just focus on the most common ones, and ignore the rest.
I really love everything about you especially your teaching style it makes me learn more and at the same time, I enjoy every single word of what you've been saying because it's fun so thank you again for the great video! I'm just starting learning English so I hope you keep posting lots of informative videos.
I shall not argue against it from the supposed impossibility of infinite succession, barely and absolutely considered in itself; for a reason which shall be mentioned hereafter: but if we consider such an infinite progression, as one entire endless series of beings can have no cause from without, of its existence; because in it are supposed to be included all things that are or ever were in the universe: and ’tis plain it can have no reason within itself, of its existence; because no one being in this infinite succession is supposed to be self-existent or necessary (which is the only ground or reason of existence of any thing, that can be imagined within the thing itself, as with presently more fully appear), but every one dependent on the foregoing: and where no part is necessary; ’tis manifest the whole cannot be necessary; absolute necessity of existence, not being an outward, relative, and accidental determination; but an inward and essential property of the nature of the thing which so exists
i dunno how i met ur channel.. u r just amazing... this is what i was looking for.... hope i gonna bring lots of improvement in me.... love 😍 from 🇮🇳 India
You’re a great teacher! I’m still trying to improve my English, but some times is hard to sound like a native english speaker.I have a British boss and she get so upset when I said things like “ wanna” She is always correcting me and said I must learn to speak English correctly.I feel very embarrassed when she does that.Thanks a lot for all the effort you do helping us to learn. Sorry for my writting mistakes! Best wishes!
Hi I'm from India.. hindi my native language. Yes we all have a zeal to speak English so fluently.. Many a time I watch hollywood movies but most of time because of there pronunciation I find it difficult to understand.. This video is much useful. 😊👌☝👍
I'm starting to binge all your videos! I will go to Montreal, Canada in December and for a month I'm staying with a Canadian family and my dad is putting pressure on me so when I come back home (México) I must dominate the language. I'm scared I won't be able to.
Excellent video, some relaxed pronunciation is very difficult to understand but it's important to practice because when we speak with a native speaker, he could speak on this way.
Yes exactly. And native speakers will speak that way, because it's how we always speak. We don't think about these things, or even realize we are changing our pronunciation. It happens naturally.
I just found this video, and l don't use to coment videos but l have to say that this one got my atention. Great performance. Such a good teaching. Awesome!! And thanks a bunch.
Best moment - 10:52, "You'll see seven words on the screen, but the guy said ten. You're like ""I don't get it"". And that's because of relaxed speech" Yeah, when you are relaxed, you add more words to the speech. 😂 That's how relaxation works. P.S. No offence, James. Love your work!
You're fantastic James! When my Canadian friends speak all these "J"s, I think they are drunk or something Lol. And they don't understand my grammar books' English as weel. I am trying hard to speak correctly. So frustrating. But now, everything makes sense. Thanks a lot!
A single episode of these videos worth much more than my 4 year highschool english classes together.
I'm American, native speaker. Despite that, watching this is really interesting since, as a native speaker, you don't think much about grammar. Watching videos like these make you realize everything you never think about.
Right
Да ты гонишь.
Very true!

Avery -- native speakers say that way, which makes learners like me so confused when we listen to videos, especially films
If all the teachers were like James, we Brazilian people would speak English so well!!!!
I had to learn how to speak English myself. Courses here are so not helping and extremely expansive! So, I made do with what I had. Songs, books, videos, movies...

Best teacher ever in my life .... send greetings to Mr.E .... one of your students from Iraq/Baghdad

for the long time, i recently just now realized how quick native people spoke. nice sound while it's pronouce in faster
Excellent video. Lots of useful tips here that English language students can benefit from. And I know how difficult it can be - sometimes I don't even understand the expressions my friend's use, haha.
He's a great teacher.
Big thanks to you from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

This was one of the most useful lesson I've ever learned on pronunciation.

Best moment - 10:52,
"You'll see seven words on the screen, but the guy said ten. You're like ""I don't get it"". And that's because of relaxed speech"
Yeah, when you are relaxed, you add more words to the speech. 😂 That's how relaxation works.
P.S. No offence, James. Love your work!
He’s so understandable smart Bro
You're fantastic James! When my Canadian friends speak all these "J"s, I think they are drunk or something Lol. And they don't understand my grammar books' English as weel. I am trying hard to speak correctly. So frustrating. But now, everything makes sense. Thanks a lot!
