- Have you ever been speaking to someone in English and you can’t understand what they are saying? Of course! This is something that happens to all of us, native speakers included.
In this video, I’m going to show you a simple technique called rephrasing, that you can use to instantly help you to solve this problem, avoid embarrassing miscommunications, and communicate more fluently.

I will share your TH-cam channel with all my family and friends! You should have more subscribers because your videos are brilliant ❤🤩Thank you!
"When you learn a new language, you become part of the community of that language." I was moved by this part because, for the first time, I felt within that community.🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵
❤🙏
When you learn new language, you really become a part of their community. You start watching videos, read books, news in new language. Probably, now you can't talk with anyone, but in future, when you improve your language skills, you start do that too. I'm from Armenia and in my country not enough content in my native language. Even russian content become too boring for me. Due to that, i started learning english and it open for me new world with a lot of interesting content. Get luck :)
The best professor of English I have seen. Thanks Christian.
Another advantage of rephrasing is, that you show to your communication partner that you have been listening and are actively trying to understand what they are saying.
The best English teacher ever. My self confidence has grown exponentially after this lesson.
Christian, you are simply formidable in teaching. You have a gift from God for teaching. Greetings from Brazil.
Exactly!
❤🙏
I totally agree.
🇧🇷👋
I totally agree
I agree with you! I'm brazilian too.
Thank you for the lessons! I am from Ukraine and now very hard to learn anything, but there are lessons gives light 👍
I'm a woman 73 years old and love to learn English. I like your way of explaining! Thanks a lot, Christian! Please, go on!
Oh really ! You learn English at this age !! I think you are a real inspiration to all lazey learners
@@OoOo-mz4vn I am "only" 72 years old, but I really enjoy clear explanations and clear pronunciation. I learn a lot from you Christian, thank you.
I'm 72 and Learned a lot chatting with GPT AI pretending it was a real human being. It has a perfect and non robotic voice and you can ask her everything you want. There you will get into practice all the tips by teacher Christian!
Well done this lesson teacher. God bless you. Clap clap from Mozambique
I have listened to several teachers on TH-cam and I feel that Christian is the kindest person. I mean that this is a type of kindness what goes from heart to heart. Every word is so soft. Even me, who speaks Russian all my life , feels everything Christian says deeply inside.
Thank you, Christian, for your wisdom. Your words calm down our brains and minds. We can breath freely and move forward to our dreams!
Thank you for the video. Very interesting and useful. For me exactly . Glad to see your wife. Greetings from Ukraine.
I’m from Brazil and I understand everything you say. Thank you very much for your patience, help and English tips!
Maybe Mr. Christian speaks with an accent we understand... 😉Not like at 9:40.
The lesson is delightful.
(google translated)
because he speaks "latinizated" english
Your way of teaching is like meditation, entirely different from others. I can feel your positive vibes. Keep up the great work!
Ananda.
Thanks for helping me so much. I am from Venezuela and I am 55 years old and I have been learning English on my own for a year and I already understand almost everything that you say, but I still cannot speak fluently, with your videos I have learned a lot and they are great, I would like to one day enroll in your courses , Thanks again.
Que bueno, I'm from Carupano,Sucre state.greetings
Wow! Well done!
That's remarkable, mate!
Are you serious?!
You've been learning English for just one year, and you do write like that?
Wow!
So mate, do not ever underestimate yourself!
Give yourself another year and you'll be able to speak English as you wish.

Hah! I did that pretending I understood something today. But hear me out. I was driving our Ukrainian teenager from school to his new home today. He was saying something, but still speaks quite quietly, and I just didn't catch what he was saying. I pretended I didn't hear properly so he repeated himself - and I still didn't understand what he was saying. But ... obviously English isn't his first language (although he's pretty good at it now), but he's only really started talking to us in the past 6 months or so, and I valued his spontaneous communication more than possibly making him feel embarrassed by correcting him / asking him to repeat himself again. And I was driving, so needed to concentrate on that. So yes, I pretended I understood what he was saying on this occasion in order to keep the conversation lines open.
Your videos are always precious for all of us who want to improve their English
"Never make fun of someone's accent. It just means that person knows his native language on top of yours"
How come you only have four hundred thousand subscribers? It's a good channel for learning! Thank u so much.
You are amazing ❤❤❤
I’m so grateful for your videos! For years, I have been struggling with my insecurities speaking English, spending time and money trying to improve. Nothing worked until I found your videos with your kind, simple and wise advices. Automatically, my fluency improved, my insecurity and shame are gone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Mate, that was indeed an absolute great video. The phone call part was hilarious 😂 😂😂
Congrats!
The best teacher in youtube! thanks🙏🏻
de lo mejor que he visto. LEJOS. Gracias totales por haberte conocido
Thanks. Do you know how great person you are? A lot.
Thank Christian I am Italian and your words and your teaching give me hope and determination to move forward. Because some people have mocked my Italian accent when I speak English, making me less confident. Your videos are absolutely full of energy, motivation.💪
Lovely speech at the end of the lesson and wonderful music. Thank you . I really enjoyed it. 👍👏🤝
Communication is a two-way street! ; )
Thanks so much for sharing this video with us and have a good Sunday, Christian!
You are the best English teacher I ever met!!!
Thank you Christian for sharing your wisdom
Hello, for me it is a pleasure to have discovered your channel I have cried watching some of your videos, as I am studying Danish and I was giving up as it is a bit difficult language and I was having a hard time trying to understand and apply it, from the bottom of my heart thank you very much for making these videos, you are the best English educator I have ever seen.
The main point of this video , Dont be shy to learning in english and when you do not understand something do not hesitate to ask them.Moreover it is the main things that we have to learn this video Language is something that share opinions , experiences , we can add many words as we wish.Thanks for the video Cangura Academy ! I hope so I explained correctly what I want to say. Have a good day or night for who reads to this comment.
Hi Christian. I love your videos but I have to admit I didn't watch all of them. I regularly listen to your podcasts during driving. But there's one favourite that I don't find. You speak about your favourite glass that you wanted to use only on special occasions and you didn't allow your father using it. You taught me to see the life better and the story touched my heart. Could you name this video's title again for me? I wanna share it to others. Thanks for being so wise and very intelligent.
You are great, Christian!❤
Splendid!
Good point!👍
Your channel has something of divine.
Your voice is calm however encouraging at the same time,
Your message is always clear and well spoken, I really love the way you think and try to convey it to others.
Your videos are just amazing. Thank you, very very much, from Brazil.

Great message , as usually! Thank you!

Your pragmatic approach speaks to me. Reasking to make sure you have understood everything correctly reminds me of the Ideological Turing Test which has nothing to do with ideologies but concerns with retelling the position of your interlocutor and then asking whether you catch one's idea.
Christian, I'm so glad to this excellent vídeo content. This really gave me a lot of encouragement to move forward and never give up.
What a cool channel! Thank you!

I really like this clear and relatively slow pronunciation, which allows me to easily listen to the topic and have time for my own thoughts at the same time. Thank you!
Cristian.que refrescante y valioso es verte y oírte. Gracias. Sigo aprendiendo inglés y pronto " I see you in class..."
Hello Christian. Iam from Brazil, I met you yesterday. I am loving your videos!! thank you very much!
thank you Christian
Yes!
When I had my main exam in English in institute they asked me to tell any short story - in English of course. I knew few words and English grammar a very little but I decided to tell continually about something and not to stop myself in any case. My teacher was very surprised and I got a "5" (it means - excellent). 😊
Thank you for the lesson. Hello from Russia.
Excelent topic teacher! It can help us a lot! Thank you!
Oh man! I saw yours videos yesterday and I just can't stop! I'm loving the way that you communicate with us.
Now I'll follow you for rest of my life! Thanks.
Lord Bless U
Great!!!! You are the most interesting, wise and smart teacher I've seen in youtube.
Awesome ❤
