- As you learn English, have you ever wondered why it is hard to understand native English speakers, but you have very little trouble understanding English teachers like me on TH-cam?
In this English lesson I'll outline 5 reasons why this occurs AND I'll give you five solutions to help you continue to strengthen your English language knowledge in spite of this "problem". P.S. It isn't really a problem is it? 😎
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

Learn English with Bob the Canadian thanks you my teacher
Dear Bob....I am from Saudi Arabia and am planning to Study Master in English literature...and yes i feel sometimes I can not understand native speakers even though I studied English for 4 years ....
I don’t want to watch other youtuber😂😂😂😂😂
i appreciate your method go ahead
I have heard several videos and it is the first teacher that I understand perfectly .. thanks Bob
from Venezuela
Hey Bob! I agree 100% with you, and I tell you that you are not only an English teacher, you are a truly educator! God bless you! Enjoy your family! Big hug!
EDUCATOR!!!
Thank you very much! 🙂👍
Hi. Bob! God bless you! I have nothing more to say
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian good
Hi Bob I really like your English teaching
reasons:
no idioms used
fewer contractions used
fewer inside jokes used
full sentences used
Agree
And....The right pronunciation of sounds
@@user-hb9ri4hm8h اوك
I find it easy to understand the videos. My students love to watch the videos as well! I can tell them thousands of times that learning English is important. However, watching the videos helps them that much better :)
Also slow, deliberate articulation.
I like watching you, Bob! Respect for educating all of us, people from around the world... from Russia! 🇷🇺👍🤠
Bob the Canadian speaks how a good elementary school teacher would speak, very clearly but without treating viewers as stupid. As a native English speaker, he's very calming to listen to.
Well, Canadian speaks slowly and clearly.I love canadians. they are soft spoken.❤️
I agree with you. I can understand easier Canadian people than whoever native English speaker.
I am froom Brazil and watch yuor videos but I anderstend little because english is weak
Yuor video has slow end paused conversation, graet for length
👍
Yeah I agree with that, but over the phone most of the people speak fast. I was involved in a conversation over the phone with someone speaking cockney accent.. I couldn't understand a thing..😐
I hope Canadians are kind to you! 🙂👍
Many thanks again for you vdo,I can listening easy ,now i pratic englisg but so hard,i will try.
You speak clearly, logically... But most importantly, you don't use slang. Many learners can't understand movies even if they read the scripts because they never learnt slang or swear words in school.
I try my best to don't use slang, but it can be good to learn. 🙂👍
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thank you a lot,Bob.Most of people who teach English pronounce every syllable and letter(I guess it is to let other people whose native language is not English to understand you).And that's why it is very easy to understand what they are saying.What subject are you teaching?
I have difficult when the people talk me but i understand you!!thank
Hello Bob ! I am a French teacher of English. I come from Madagascar but I live in France. I have been living here since 1992. Sometimes, I give lessons to Malagasy students who live in Madagascar on Zoom or other applications. From time to time, I send them some of your links and they love them. They have told me that you are easy to understand. Thank you for sharing !
Hi Bob. I'm Korean and this is the first time to write comment on your channel. I thank you every time for your good contents and I feel as if I'm traveling in Canada nature or street with you. Yes, your pronunciation is so clear to get it, and I feel you have thought effective English learning very deeply. I recommend this channel to my friends and colleagues whenever I get a chance. There are so many channel which gives help to learn English in TH-cam, but I would say this is the best to learn English. And I feel your face, smile and voice is so friendly.
You're so clear when you pronounce words. You're a good teacher Bob. That's why I subscribed your channel. (thumbs up)
That's why I subscribed his channel too!..☺
Where are you from...
Would you like to be a spoken English partner...

Thank you, Bob! Your video-lessons are very helpful and useful. I’m from Kazakhstan, so for me it’s very difficult to speak in english to everyone. I’m waiting for more videos from you. Best regards, Zhanna
I'm learning English and this man is great I understand everything he says, thanks for helping us👏
I'm a brazilian teacher who share your videos among my students and friends. You rock!!! Send hugs to Brazil, if it's possible. Thank you!!!
Bob, I think you are the best teacher on TH-cam. Especially enjoy your lessons with video illustrations. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I agree with you
Really i agree with you
Yep 100
I think the same too
Hi teacher bob! Long time no see you! Please come back to teach us how to learn english! I miss you so much!
Hi Mr. Bob, just found your channel few weeks ago. I don’t usually write comments because I’m not good at English, I’m afraid that people gonna laugh but I just want you to know that you’re so sincere in teaching people that you don’t even know, telling us to watch other videos in order to learn more is a thing that only sincere person can do. Thanks and sorry for my grammar. BTW I subscribed both to your channels right after I’ve came across in one of your videos.
You are such an honest person, saying watch other TH-camr's video to improve English. Salute you. . .
When it's true, it should be said!
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian you are Mz
Thanks teacher! You teach so clear and easy to get it. One more I love the your gardens
Another great video! I have watched hours of your videos since yesterday. Your style and example are tremendously helpful to me in thinking through how I might improve my teaching (which includes teaching English, but mostly is other content) for people in my circles who primarily speak other languages. I will keep these five things in mind as I am developing lessons. Thank you!
Hey Bob. Thanks for these amazing videos. I am new to your channel. I have shared a couple of your videos with some of my students and colleagues around the world. I am a language teacher myself. I have spent more than 30 years teaching French, English, and Spanish. I thought I spoke English before I came to live here in Mid-Georgia. I felt frustrated because after many years of teaching and speaking the language I was not able to understand anyone here. Of course, my college English had not been tested in a US southern environment. Southern American English has a unique intonation pattern and vowel changes. That makes it difficult to understand. So my advice is to listen to a wide variety of people with different accents and different social backgrounds. it may help a lot.
Besides that, you show be an honest, confident and a nice person. Ty for lessons.
From vietnamese with love to you ! I wish i could learn your accent
Thank you Bob. Your pronuciation is really clear. I moved to the US recently, but people here have different accents.On these days I work hard to improve my skills, days and nights.And When I'm talking in English with a person that English is their second language too, like me, I feel more confident, but I experince so much stress when it comes to the native people. Because talking is like playing ping pong and if I don't understand what they say I feel embarrassed deeply that I messed up again.
Sometimes some people don't have any tendency to repeat their words so I prefer not to ask them to say that again. Instead I'm trying to improve my listening.
I share my experience here for those ones who experiencing the same journey. Thank you again Bob. I always take notes of your videos.
Keep it up❤
You're an excellent teacher, Sir. Thank you!
This is my first watching on any of your videos, but I already appreciate what you do.
I sure hope I can understand other native speakers. I’ll try to follow your advise. Thanks Bob~😃
Hi Bob! I agree with you. I always get frustrated when I watch the BBC or CNN TV News Programs. If I understand 30% of what they say, that's too much. Thanks for your tips and lessons.
Hi
Where r u from?
He seems to be a good teacher and a honest man
It’s not only easy to understand Bob; it’s also very pleasant. I enjoy your videos a lot . Thank you very much !
I like to hear your voice, because I can understand you. Thank you... From Thailand
Fantastic! I understood 100% I can add cause you do not use phrasal verbs, slangs and idioms.
Hello teacher Bob! I'm from Philippines.I suddenly click the video of yours, even it was taken 4yrs ago, but it's useful to the learners who are slowly.
Because you are not speaking faster,so that's why those words you've uttered it's clearly and easy to catching up little by little and to familiarize it.. Thank you teacher! God bless! 🙏🙏
Bob, Im really happy to having subtitle in your video, I received a big help due to subtitle, really glad to you.
When I listening to You, I understood absolutely clear !!!
Hey Bob, I would like to watch a video when you talk to other people. Good Job
It’s a pleasure to hear you and understand you so well. I’m from Mexico...
You are the best, Bob! Thank you for being so nice to us! God bless you!
I can undestand you very well and clearly. Thanks !
You’re a naturally gifted teacher as well Bob. Big hello from Manchester UK 🇬🇧
hmmm... mu n city. i watch every games of this two giant clubs.
almost off indonesian like me struggle to catch the british english speaking from lampard or rooney or kane etc coz they speak unclear and tend to lower their voice.
Thank you very much professor Bob. You are one of the best teachers ever!!
Hello sir, i come from Vietnam. My English listening skill is so bad. But i can hear almost what you say. Thank you so much!
Hello! I'm from Brazil. I'm learning too much with you. Thanks for your videos.
the first time i've totally understand a native speaker. lol thankyou so much, teacher.
Hi Bob,I am so lucky to find out your channel. Like you say, it is easier to understand you. I learn a lot from your videos. And I have more confident through watching your videos. I am so grateful about what you do.Thanks you so much.
It feels great to teach you in a natural way that too in the midst of real nature.
Excellent explanation!!! Would you please make more videos about new phrasal verbs, but the same way you taught the previous ones?
I love "train your ears". Since Some of English native speakers who come from different states of a country have different dialects and accents. This has become one of the challenges too. Thanks Bob.
Hi Bob .. I do feel the same with the others, you’re a good teacher Bob. Thank you so much & keep inspiring 🙏🏻
It’s soooo relaxing to watch your videos, Bob. You seem to be a very calm and kind person ☺️ In addition, your garden landscape as a background to your videos is amazing, thank you!!
Hello friends 🙏💕 van
You amazing
I understand everything what you say. I'm from Sudan
Sometime l do listening to other channel... But you are always my favorite, great lessons your lessons Bob!!!
Thanks! that means a lot. 🙂👍
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian you are welcome 🤗
Me too I am from Brasil
Thanks Bob, for the video. I fully agree with the reasons why I understand you easier than other teachers.
What a humble person! You say "go watch other youtube channels too". I subscribed sir!
Thank you, I practice listening and learn from you. 🙏
From Venezuela with love thanks for your teachings you are best
When I listened Bob for the first time I got really impressed with his accent. I think that Bob mixed canadian with american accent and the result was wonderful.It's clear, perfectly understandable for beginners and non natives.
Turns out I'm not alone and I feel like I learned a lot from you. Teacher Bob.
I'm Vietnamese and I'm going to move to Saskatchewan. Nice to meet you.
I'm glad I found your channel! It's very helpful. Thanks for your work!
You're such a great teacher we find it really helpful for us. Especially I myself having difficulties on getting all of my American caller because the way they speak it's a kind a short and fast, That's why I would like to request. Can you make another video for slang words and sentences and what are they if not saying it by native speaker
Ex. Lemme = let me
Something like that but it much better if sentences
Once again thank u so much I hope you notice my comment
Bob, your explanations show that you really are aware that we are ESL and you understand our weaknesses in English, that's why I am watching your videos since 2021 and I keep on watching. I told my friends or recommend them to see your videos I told them about your clarity and tone. Now my favorites are real-life English in other words when you visit fast food restaurants using real-life English words.
I can understand you Bob... I'm learning English since January, by the way, good videos
You are one of the best teacher I’ve ever seen ❤️
Hi Bob I really enjoy listening your videos and I have learned so much english since I began to follow your channel. Thank you so much and keep doing your job, it s really helps people to learn english and I have been recomending your classes to my friends. Thanks a lot
I understood every single word! thank you, Robert!
Hi Bob, i am Sergey from Ukraine. And now i am on Calagry, and i want learn English)) thanks for your job for us
Dear Bob , thanks a lot for your channel! I hope your videos will help me to improve my listening skills 👍
Thank you very much! You’re the best teacher for me, I like to listen and watch your videos everyday. You are a very kind teacher . My English is better because you can help. Thanks again!😍😀
Hi Bob! Yes, it's true! I absolutely agree with you! Thank you for your work here!
Bob, your videos are improving my english listening every time I watching you. Thanks you very much!
Your background is so relaxing ❣️
Hello Bob, I'm your big fan and watching your all videos it's really helping a lot to improve my english. Thank you Bob 😊
Perfect person for my 4 years old boy to learn English from!! Thanks so much Bob!
One of the best channels ever. I'm brazilian and I have been to Toronto. You're a very good teacher.
Muito obrigado! Suas aulas são excepcionais, me ajudam muito.
Thanks for the video, Bob the Canadian.
Dünyanın birçok yerinden öğrencilere sahip olma nedenlerinden biri de bu, harika bir aksanin var ve fazlasiyla anlaşılır konusuyorsun 💘💖
23 years of experience in teaching🙏🙏🙏, Thank you Mr. Bob to doing this for us.
Nice video, good job!! Another aspect that I noticed is that sometimes I have a hard time understanding some native speakers because they tend to not open their mouth and speak clearly enough to be understood. I'm native Brazilian and when speaking Portuguese, Brazilians tend to open more the mouth and be more clear.
Maybe that's why for me it's a bit hard understanding some native speakers even though I've been learning English for a few years.
You’re my best English teacher ever Bob, I recommend you to all my friends wanting learn English 👍🏻 thanks for your lessons
Hello sir
Thank you so much for your videos.
Hey Bob! I am an English teacher and I show your lessons to my students. So you are the best! And all my students love your videos and it's really helpful for them. Thank you so much for your job!!! My best wishes to you!
