Wow! 1.7 million views as of April 2022! Thank you so much. I've loved reading every comment. If you found it useful, you can like and share the video. And... if you would like to support the channel, send a Super Thanks - you can do that just below the video. Thanks again!
I'm from Vietnam and i found these videos you made are very come in handy and also getting more motivation to practice English to me. Thank you and hope you'll create more videos related to English Practice and some podcasts as a daily basis !
I'm a native spanish speaker, and the most useful resource that I found to learn and practice my english (vocabulary and pronunciation) was watching movies in english with english subtitles.
according to British English, I would love to listen to BBC podcasts, they have a lot of programs such as English 1 minutes for the beginner, the English we speak or English 6 minutes, etc. I feel like the pronunciation of the British is super charming, I really love it. speaking of American English, I usually listen to Rachel's English, she analysis very clearly how the native speaker says in reality. I think my level is pre-intermediate and now most of the time I focus on speaking skills. Thank you for reading.
I could understand about 95% of what you said on this video. Last year I didn't understand almost anything , so this year , 20 January I guess I stated watching videos in English every day from 6 PM to 11:30 PM , and it's helped a lot with my listening and my pronunciation , sometimes I can't get across what I feel, it's crazy for me to understand 95% native English Speaker , I studied American English, but I prefer British one . But sometimes when I am speaking it seems like I can't find the right words . But I will improve my English
First, the way you speak English is crystal clear that everyone can understand almost everything you say, I think. Second, your tips are extremely helpful for people who is preparing for the English test like me. Thanks a lot!
Hi Sir, I'm your new subscriber from Timor Leste. I can understand what you said. I've started listening to and watching your video about real English conversation and always imagine when I become fluent. Hehehe I'm so happy found you on TH-cam. Thank you
My level is upper intermediate in English, I definitely recommend ABC Brisbane radio (look for online radio box, and type that radio station) they have a contest and there are random trivias every day, also they talk briefly about news so I love it because keep my update and is people really pleasant. A podcast that I like is All Ears English, girls full of energy while talking. And a SitCom that I have found the most entertaining for me is because with it is a efficient way to enrich my vocabulary it is called "The Big Bang theory", as you say is specific for me, is enjoyable and is comprehensible (although sometimes I don't understand because of high level vocabulary, but they tend to repeat those words, so I can memorize it, also they speak so fast is hard to catch what Sheldon says).
So true. I've been looking for this video my entire life as a teacher. I enjoy the part where you say that understanding English is difficult even to native speakers, as that's truly encouraging to students who struggle to grasp a few words in a simple sentence. Thanks a lot dude.
It's marvelous to hear all this from a native speaker; I'm much more relaxed! I was really upset for not being able to understand some songs, even knowing I'm able to understand radio broadcasts, films, sitcoms, documentaries, interviews so on. Thank you for make things clear for us!
Currently, I'm struggling with understanding TV shows and movies, I mean in sitcoms like "friends" for example, I understand everything, but sometimes when watching a movie I get lost, and I feel like they're just talking gibberish and mumbling. Did you ever come that dilemma and overcome it somehow?
I am following you from the North of Africa 🌍 exactly from Morocco 🇲🇦. You're fantastic ☺️U think you're speaking British English it seems more clear than American
Wow I cant believe that! I just found your channel when I have struggle to learn about listening skills in English. Without subtitles, I can understand about everything what did you say. Thanks Jack! I am new fans of your channel from Indonesia :)
I read books of my level and then I underline the words that I don't know, I search them and write their meaning on the book and I also search their pronunciation. Finally I record my voice reading every chapter. I listen to them all day long. I like British accent. Forgive me if I wrote something wrong. I just wanted to help. Bye. You're helping me a lot!. I'm from Argentina.
Hello from Uzbekistan. Let's improve together our speaking skills. I am also learning English. To my mind it will be good to talking in English. If someone agree with my point of view write.
For me a really good exercise to improve all the skills at the same time is "transcription". Just take and audio as for example the one of this video and write all what the speaker says and then speak aloud at the same time that you are reading what you typed. It is a really good process to internalize the language.
Thank you sir! I came from Guinea-Bissau west Africa, a Portuguese speaking country. Now I live in Dubai Emirates. Always I wanted to update my English skills.
You are the best . I haven't practise my english so long a go ,i remember that i have studied the 5 hypothesis of krashen at the university ,thank you so much for the motivation .
I was kind of relieved to hear that even native speakers are struggling to listen to English music or movies, because I've felt just like that even after my English got improved.
The same thing happen in my native language. We should try something sporken clear. The most important thing is understanding native speaker when we have conversation. This is way easy than watching movie lol
Actually I recommend the British council podcast it’s so good to improve English listening skill it’s helped me and I recommend spotlight podcast it’s a fantastic podcast and simple English that every body can understand what they are saying thanks jack for these amazing videos
If it comes to alter what helps me the most I would definitely say that podcasts (especially BBC English, TED), youtube channels (like yours, Papa Teach Me, ETJ English, Learn English With TV Series) but as well reading books and then listening to the ones I read, watching movies and TV series (rly vital to start with the level you are able to understand and then one step at a time enhance the level of difficulty). Nevertheless, this is not going to help if you do not work consistently. Consistency is a key to learn anything. Do not ever dare to give up, since it is going to be just worse.
Hello Jack, I am Aymen from Algeria. I have many difficulties in learning English in speaking and listening, but I try to watch your videos and always follow your advice. I wish you carry on and best luck for you.
I think my level it's around B1. I used to practice more frequently speaking, talking with people who's learning also Spanish (or Russian, 'cause I speak a little bit) and when I realized that I need improve my listening too, or pay more attention in this area, I started to watch movies that I watched, just like you say, and now I'm discovering you channel, a spot where I can see I can practice listening and, at the same time, get those great tips. Thank you))
Thanks for the interesting video and, most of all, for something that really felt "eye-opening" for me, when you say that even you native speakers can find it so difficult to understand movies or music. I got a C2 Proficiency level many years ago, but listening has often been frustrating for me. If not in conversations or watching videos, surely when watching some movies (where I istinctively turn up the volume to understand and sometimes with no benefit...) or listening to songs, where I have to pay attention to get the lyrics, and also in this case not always successfully. Always telling myself in frustration "you are a C2 level, you are supposed to understand everything!"... So thank you for the suggestions to improve, but also for this "little secret"... that no native speaker had never told me before!
Hello Jack , I am trying learn this module for a long time but no one ,no one really could interpret the subject so beautifully. My heart felt gratitude for your kind helps. Thank you
now is Jennuary 2023 and 2 years ago I decided to improved my English, not only for job but for my personal joy. Well, I saw this video and you, for the first time and I understand every words of your speach without subtitles. This is a great Goal for me. I confirm that (for exaple) see a film I know very well, but in English, is the best way to learn words. Great suggestions in this video. GIO' (JOE) from Turin, Italy
Actually i'm fluent, and i'm teaching english, so, thanks for help, i understood completly the video, and i'm too much pleased, looks like the teacher is talking on my native language, i understand as he was.
Excellent diction, excellent pronunciation and sophistication to speak English. You are a good role model for those of us who want to learn this wonderful language.
Personally, I always use audible to listen to self-help books. It was due to my motivation to improve myself and my life. Conveniently, these books are written in English, so I can improve my English and life at the same time 🥰
Hi jack, i love your video. I think your explanation about “listening” is more deeper than any other typical youtube video. Cheers to that! Would you explain to us how to master listening skill when it comes to linking word, relax pronunciation, reduction, etc? I found it difficult no matter how many times i listen to it. Thanks in advance. Have a great day!😊
@@tofluency still trying. Do you have video that specially explain about linking word, relax pronunciation and reduction? I really love your teaching style
Oh, My mother tongue is Spanish, I'm learning English and I so happy because I understood almost everything that you said. Than you so much for this great video... I really like it 🥰
Thank you for your helpful lesson. I agree listening is key to learning a language, English. I have my car radio syntonized on the BBC World Service, and I listen to the news every time I drive, finding it very helpful, besides I get used to different accents. Lately, we had a computer crash at the office, and I had a challenging phone call with the IT specialist of Ryanair in Dublin. I am an informatic ignorant not knowing even the basic Office package. The first difficulty was that he spoke with a different accent than I preferred: a US accent. In any case I comunicated and solve the problem except for a specific word I did not know, and he kindly rephrased it. I watch daily many You Tube vlogs in English, maily American, about my preferred subjects as watches collecting, MTB riding, hiking, Englih learning and sports in general. Finally, every Tuesday evening I attend a meeting (BlaBla Bergamo - Make Friends & Language Exchange) in my city in Italy where we have a drink and converse mostly in English. There are some foreign, three US citizen, an Iranian English teacher and other European partecipants speaking fluent language. You can find the same in your city and it helps a lot besides being fun.
The main thing that i use to improve my listening Skill is watching tedx talks videos. It not only helped me to improve my listening skill but also motivates me. And I try to find time for seeing films in English. I can feel the differences when I did all these stuff. Now I can almost understand native speakers talks😻
Hi Jack, I'm allegedly very closed to reach C1 level and my favorite source of English audio is TED channel on YT, because I prefer listening to different types of objects, and many of performers there are non-native speakers who are, in my opinion, easier to understand. Have a nice day!
Wow I understood all you told man, I'm from El Salvador, and it's very difficult to me when English native speakers say something 😪 but I'll work on my listening because it's the most important skill 🔥 thanks for your advice have been useful. 👍
It was so good to understand everything you said even tho I'm a ES navite speaker (Colombia). It would be pretty good to most EN teachers to speak that clearly. I got a B2 EN level and my main resource it's been listenting EN music I like. Thank you for the tips
M'y conclusion from the video I watched is that if you want to improve your listening skills in English you have to listen as much as possible and there is so many ways you can use like listening to podcasts, watching movies or listening to a story that you know before because understanding the general idea of what you're listening is so much important then focus on the words word by word Also you have to listen to a different accent's to make sure that you will understand Avery thing you hear
Thank you for the outstanding and informative video lesson. My level? I could understand every word you said except for the "graded reader," that I'll look up in the dictionary. I could even follow you without missing a word at 1,75 speed. Every day, driving to work for about 40 minutes, I tune my car radio on BBCWorld News, and I basically get the meaning of every topic. I sometimes struggle with some weird accents, as when I try to follow conversations between Irish and Scottish people (pilots, crew members, etc.). I work at Ryanair Training Center in Milano (Orio al Serio) airport; such conversations are quite frequent.
This video is useful and helpful. I can totally understand what you said but sometimes I can’t remember the key points. I am an Chinese and I am not good at English. The course of English in the university is so deep. I am afraid that I can’t pass the English exam. When you are a university student , it means you need to learn by yourself.(Maybe not) I find that English is hard to study when I need to remember a lot of vocabularies. I wasn’t active to learn English in the past because I always failed my test. But now I have been a university student and choose a double degree about Chinese, I still need to learn English. So sad. And my reading and listening are weak. This video is great. It helps me to practice my listening. Thank you.
Guys, ABL takes a lot of time, you can not say that im going to be listening for one month and I will be perfect at the end of the month. it really takes time. for me, for the past two years, all the news, tips, DIYs, video tutorials, literally everything I wanted to hear/see, I listen to it in English. and now I can proudly say that I have understood every single word in your video using a speed of 1.75 cuz the normal one sounds a bit not normal to me.
Your clear English accent makes British English to seem easy. I could understand you very well... listening is the begining of a lenguage learning process.
Hello. Answering your last question about the resources we use, almost a year after being this video released, I feel quite awkward. But anyway: I'm advanced (I hope) and what I do a lot is read in English any books I want (not adapted ones, just books), watch series and films in English and also I often listen to the podcast of your fellow English teacher Luke Thompson “Luke’s English podcast”. I've recently bumped into your channel and found it great. Thank you.
Hello! I think my English level is Medium. I have to speak in English in my work, so for me this is very useful. In my book I have learned a lot by watching videos with English subtitles, because in some cases it is easier to identify words that you don't know and then search for the meaning. Thanks for the new knowledge!
Hello Jack! You are absolutely right - time is limited. Your today's video is a little bit longer. I didn't hesitate any sec and immediately from the beginning set playback speed to 1.25. My resources are as follows: 1. There are approximately eight channels on TH-cam I watch regularly - it means I watch these videos on the same day they are posted 2. I watch other about eight channels irregularly 3. I watch news on TV - it takes about ten minutes a day (SKY NEWS Int., BBC WORLD NEWS, CNN Int., NHK WORLD TV) 4. From time to time I struggle with lyrics - but only older music (ABBA, BONEY M, BEATLES, OTTAWAN , etc.) Their pronunciation is listenable for me. 5. I rejected graded readers. I am afraid it wouldn't be interested in it because of adapted text. I am into music and that is why I am interested in band's autobiography books . One can find there a lot of interesting expressions from a real life, for example: go down a storm, encore, blotto, dickhead, namby-pamby, ...) To be honest I am not still quite familiar with this one: cor-blimey-guvnor. Howgh! :)

Hello Sir, You are indeed a wonderful teacher. Your teachings touch my heart. They are really very helpful. You are very easy to understand and your voice has so much depth that I feel like listening to you all the time. I often watch your videos and those helps me to keep going on my journey of learning English. Thank you so much for your life changing videos 🙏🏻
I think this is the kind of videos I was looking for, I almost understood everything you're saying and that was really great. Personally, I love improving my listing skills through "GAMING" beside watching movies.
It's an awesome video and I would recommend other English learners that they should watch TV shows in their target language and listening to songs is another very effective way of learning a language because when you listen to the songs you will automatically learn grammar and vocab so I think listening to songs would be a better one
Omo I like your original British accent ...It is so beautiful .... And also I can understand each and everyword ..... Thank you for sharing such an amazing video ❤️
My level is somewhat between a B1 and a B2 level in English.My currently approach in order to improve my language includes watching tv and listening as much as I can in my target language English.I listened to the whole Harry Potter series and as I finished I started to listen to them again.I read HP1 and now I extending my English universe to other fields and topics. I watch Scrubs,How I met your mother,Malcolm and other stories where I‘m familiar with.The more I hear the more it feels naturally .Every video I watch is in English it doesn’t matter what ,my native language German is dead at least in terms of media consumption.Unfortunately it doesn’t help me with my speaking skills, therefore they‘re terrible.
Your accent is up to the mark. One can understand it without any extra effort. I love your pronunciation. Listening 🎧 and watching are two very effective ways to learn fluent English.
I just woke up and decided to watch a podcast videos, i found this video it gives me a lot of motivation to listen more than to speak,thanks for this advice 🙏
I can understand every word in your video, like my language ( italian) but when i need to speak, im not fluent, my continuous improvement go on with your video
My level is advanced. I love listening to Sky News and Deutsche Welle (English edition). They have also many interesting documentaries. I didn't understand everything at first, but now after I've been listening daily
I am the person who is come to the Bengali community ,where the English is using for little a bit. So, I just recommend my listeners who is believe in themselves, they just doing a great work for their life. Bcz it's all about themselves progressions and multitudes. Hope for good yeah all.
i want to be a native speaker in English so much. like you have said before, to be a native i must improve my vocab, pronunciation, speaking, listening, writing, reading, etc. Very enjoy to learn English from your podcast. thanks a lot
When it comes to listening, my most favorite podcast is the stuff you should know. Listen something, which you truly enjoy,it could be your favorite artist interviews, or may be songs too. By time, you will surely start enjoying the process of listening. And remember guys, listening is one of the most sought activity, when it comes to learning a new language. Keep learning, share your ideas, over here. I would love to hear from you guys. A big shout out to the creator of this video. Kudos to you too. I'm a college going student, I am also working on my spoken English. I was randomly strolling on the TH-cam. Luckily, got end up, on your video. The idea or tricks, you told in it, is splendid, it is not montanous, like those traditional things. Keep going man...... Lots of love from India
Thanks a million for such great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, because I find them really helpful. I'm an Egyptian English teacher, and YES, listening is a troublesome skill to the most of EFL learners:D I always recommend them to practice it as much as they can to master these skills. I think English-subtitled videos are a good start to improve listening skill. They help the brain to process spoken language and get used to it.
Hi Jack, my English level is intermediate, I'd like to continue learning more and more and be able to speak fluently. I love your videos. Thank you for your help.
I'm from India 🇮🇳..... U r doing good for everyone who can't able to understand this language.... My problem is that i m not able to speak English in fluency.. (i understood everything 🧿)..
Well, I've been studying English about one year ago and when I don't feel motivated I like to watch this kind of videos☺☺☺, in part cuz I understand almost all and that feeling it's pretty breathtaking.
@@AnaGarcia-ws1uf yeah I also wanna speak with unknown person becuase this way can decrease our hasitation in English speaking, if you agree so can I share with you my contact?
I understood you about 90 percent, I heard your audio twice, the the second time it was much better, much more than 90 percent. I do not know my level because I have been studying on the internet by myself. Now I am focusing on "listening" it's my big problem.
If there was an agency which could announce to the English world to speak as clear as you do, then all problems with listening would be solved at once.

I could understand everything you said. your way of speaking is perfect!
I read english subtitles and understand
@@grtgst Right, but if you want to perfect your listening, it's better to turn off subtitles
@@joaquindesalazar8220 i started to watch this channel yesterday and i don't understand without subtitles

Thanks! hear that even native speakers have difficult to understand everything, leaves me more calm and confident to go ahead with my studies.
Actually i'm fluent, and i'm teaching english, so, thanks for help, i understood completly the video, and i'm too much pleased, looks like the teacher is talking on my native language, i understand as he was.
I don't know what pushed me to sit here listening to everything you, sir, said. I used to quit many videos, but now ☺️. Thank you 🌱.
Excellent diction, excellent pronunciation and sophistication to speak English. You are a good role model for those of us who want to learn this wonderful language.
Personally, I always use audible to listen to self-help books. It was due to my motivation to improve myself and my life. Conveniently, these books are written in English, so I can improve my English and life at the same time 🥰
This is a great idea.!
Hello
I do the same 😁
Hi jack, i love your video. I think your explanation about “listening” is more deeper than any other typical youtube video. Cheers to that! Would you explain to us how to master listening skill when it comes to linking word, relax pronunciation, reduction, etc? I found it difficult no matter how many times i listen to it. Thanks in advance. Have a great day!😊
Thank you! Have you tried imitating English speakers in these areas?
@@tofluency still trying. Do you have video that specially explain about linking word, relax pronunciation and reduction? I really love your teaching style
Oh, My mother tongue is Spanish, I'm learning English and I so happy because I understood almost everything that you said. Than you so much for this great video... I really like it 🥰

Thank you for your helpful lesson. I agree listening is key to learning a language, English. I have my car radio syntonized on the BBC World Service, and I listen to the news every time I drive, finding it very helpful, besides I get used to different accents.
Lately, we had a computer crash at the office, and I had a challenging phone call with the IT specialist of Ryanair in Dublin. I am an informatic ignorant not knowing even the basic Office package. The first difficulty was that he spoke with a different accent than I preferred: a US accent. In any case I comunicated and solve the problem except for a specific word I did not know, and he kindly rephrased it.
I watch daily many You Tube vlogs in English, maily American, about my preferred subjects as watches collecting, MTB riding, hiking, Englih learning and sports in general.
Finally, every Tuesday evening I attend a meeting (BlaBla Bergamo - Make Friends & Language Exchange) in my city in Italy where we have a drink and converse mostly in English. There are some foreign, three US citizen, an Iranian English teacher and other European partecipants speaking fluent language.
You can find the same in your city and it helps a lot besides being fun.
The main thing that i use to improve my listening Skill is watching tedx talks videos. It not only helped me to improve my listening skill but also motivates me. And I try to find time for seeing films in English. I can feel the differences when I did all these stuff. Now I can almost understand native speakers talks😻
Can you please let me know how much time did it take to you?
How can we search tedx
Hi Jack, I'm allegedly very closed to reach C1 level and my favorite source of English audio is TED channel on YT, because I prefer listening to different types of objects, and many of performers there are non-native speakers who are, in my opinion, easier to understand. Have a nice day!
Hey,Jack.
You're such a talented teacher.
I got massive improvements in listening comprehension cuz of you.Thanks so much.😗
Wow I understood all you told man, I'm from El Salvador, and it's very difficult to me when English native speakers say something 😪 but I'll work on my listening because it's the most important skill 🔥 thanks for your advice have been useful. 👍
I will write a Test soon i am German and often i strugle with the Listening. Thanks for all this Tipps.
It was so good to understand everything you said even tho I'm a ES navite speaker (Colombia). It would be pretty good to most EN teachers to speak that clearly. I got a B2 EN level and my main resource it's been listenting EN music I like. Thank you for the tips
M'y conclusion from the video I watched is that if you want to improve your listening skills in English you have to listen as much as possible and there is so many ways you can use like listening to podcasts, watching movies or listening to a story that you know before because understanding the general idea of what you're listening is so much important then focus on the words word by word
Also you have to listen to a different accent's to make sure that you will understand Avery thing you hear
Thank you for the outstanding and informative video lesson.
My level? I could understand every word you said except for the "graded reader," that I'll look up in the dictionary.
I could even follow you without missing a word at 1,75 speed.
Every day, driving to work for about 40 minutes, I tune my car radio on BBCWorld News, and I basically get the meaning of every topic.
I sometimes struggle with some weird accents, as when I try to follow conversations between Irish and Scottish people (pilots, crew members, etc.). I work at Ryanair Training Center in Milano (Orio al Serio) airport; such conversations are quite frequent.
This video is useful and helpful. I can totally understand what you said but sometimes I can’t remember the key points. I am an Chinese and I am not good at English. The course of English in the university is so deep. I am afraid that I can’t pass the English exam. When you are a university student , it means you need to learn by yourself.(Maybe not) I find that English is hard to study when I need to remember a lot of vocabularies. I wasn’t active to learn English in the past because I always failed my test. But now I have been a university student and choose a double degree about Chinese, I still need to learn English. So sad. And my reading and listening are weak. This video is great. It helps me to practice my listening. Thank you.
Thanks lot bro, from India 🇮🇳❤️
Guys, ABL takes a lot of time, you can not say that im going to be listening for one month and I will be perfect at the end of the month. it really takes time. for me, for the past two years, all the news, tips, DIYs, video tutorials, literally everything I wanted to hear/see, I listen to it in English. and now I can proudly say that I have understood every single word in your video using a speed of 1.75 cuz the normal one sounds a bit not normal to me.
Hi man, I’m from Brazil and I could understand everything you said. I’m improving my listening, because this is my main difficulty.
His energy is wonderful,I love they way he talks ,I understand every single word 🧁🍭🍬🍫
you add y after the which make me confused at the first time but i can understand u at all. Have a nice day
That's so cool!
This is very useful Class
Your clear English accent makes British English to seem easy. I could understand you very well... listening is the begining of a lenguage learning process.
I just want to improve my english and i found ur channel its help me alot i can understand it easily
OMG i fall in love with your pronunciation. It s perfect!! I was able to understand every word you have said Im from Agentina (spanish language)
This video is all about generosity! Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! 🙏👏💚💛🇧🇷
Hello. Answering your last question about the resources we use, almost a year after being this video released, I feel quite awkward. But anyway: I'm advanced (I hope) and what I do a lot is read in English any books I want (not adapted ones, just books), watch series and films in English and also I often listen to the podcast of your fellow English teacher Luke Thompson “Luke’s English podcast”. I've recently bumped into your channel and found it great. Thank you.
I never had seen your channel before, I like so much your video and your explanation. Thanks!!!
I am beginner level but First time I love this video, most of your talking skill I understand very well,thanks mate
I can understand easily what you say without subtitles, thank you so much❤️❤️
Hello! I think my English level is Medium. I have to speak in English in my work, so for me this is very useful. In my book I have learned a lot by watching videos with English subtitles, because in some cases it is easier to identify words that you don't know and then search for the meaning.
Thanks for the new knowledge!
Hello Jack! You are absolutely right - time is limited. Your today's video is a little bit longer. I didn't hesitate any sec and immediately from the beginning set playback speed to 1.25.
My resources are as follows:
1. There are approximately eight channels on TH-cam I watch regularly - it means I watch these videos on the same day they are posted
2. I watch other about eight channels irregularly
3. I watch news on TV - it takes about ten minutes a day (SKY NEWS Int., BBC WORLD NEWS, CNN Int., NHK WORLD TV)
4. From time to time I struggle with lyrics - but only older music (ABBA, BONEY M, BEATLES, OTTAWAN , etc.) Their pronunciation is listenable for me.
5. I rejected graded readers. I am afraid it wouldn't be interested in it because of adapted text. I am into music and that is why I am interested in band's autobiography books . One can find there a lot of interesting expressions from a real life, for example: go down a storm, encore, blotto, dickhead, namby-pamby, ...) To be honest I am not still quite familiar with this one: cor-blimey-guvnor.
Howgh! :)
what are those 8 channels?
@@vigneshs5218 for example English with Max, Canguro English, mmmEnglish, Interactive English, LetThemTalkTV, English with Greg, Love English with Leila & Sabrah, ForBenglish,
ETJ English, English Like A Native, English with Lucy, BBC Learning English, Wings of Pegasus, Richard Lloyd, w2aew, ...
If each native speaker speaks like you, i will be able to understand everything in English.:)
And so, i like this channel so much. Thanks
I'm from Thailand.Now I live in Australia for start to learn english. When Aussie talk with me I don't understand haha But I have a frend. He from The Uk. When he talk with me I can understand him hahaha And I can understand when you say maby because you speak slowly and clearly.Thank you
Hello Sir,
You are indeed a wonderful teacher. Your teachings touch my heart. They are really very helpful. You are very easy to understand and your voice has so much depth that I feel like listening to you all the time. I often watch your videos and those helps me to keep going on my journey of learning English. Thank you so much for your life changing videos 🙏🏻
Great sir i am very useful
I think this is the kind of videos I was looking for, I almost understood everything you're saying and that was really great.
Personally, I love improving my listing skills through "GAMING" beside watching movies.
It's an awesome video and I would recommend other English learners that they should watch TV shows in their target language and listening to songs is another very effective way of learning a language because when you listen to the songs you will automatically learn grammar and vocab so I think listening to songs would be a better one
Thank you for the comment!
Omo I like your original British accent ...It is so beautiful ....
And also I can understand each and everyword .....
Thank you for sharing such an amazing video ❤️
Before this video, I was confused about listening problem. Now I am clear about my present condition. Thank you so much.
"If at first you don't succeed; try, try again," is my advice for learning English or any other language!
My level is somewhat between a B1 and a B2 level in English.My currently approach in order to improve my language includes watching tv and listening as much as I can in my target language English.I listened to the whole Harry Potter series and as I finished I started to listen to them again.I read HP1 and now I extending my English universe to other fields and topics. I watch Scrubs,How I met your mother,Malcolm and other stories where I‘m familiar with.The more I hear the more it feels naturally .Every video I watch is in English it doesn’t matter what ,my native language German is dead at least in terms of media consumption.Unfortunately it doesn’t help me with my speaking skills, therefore they‘re terrible.
I like listening to your clear pronunciation of English thanks you from my heart from Morocco💛
Your accent is up to the mark. One can understand it without any extra effort. I love your pronunciation. Listening 🎧 and watching are two very effective ways to learn fluent English.
I just woke up and decided to watch a podcast videos, i found this video it gives me a lot of motivation to listen more than to speak,thanks for this advice 🙏
I've always found very difficult to understand songs and movies in english, but I didn't know this happens to natives speakers too 😮
Your speech so clear and I can understand you perfectly.
I can understand every word in your video, like my language ( italian) but when i need to speak, im not fluent, my continuous improvement go on with your video
Thank you soo much, I understood everything for the first time without subtitles...
Much love from SL🇱🇰
I'm following this awsome teacher and I can guarantee that my skills is getting better than ever.
Nice
My level is advanced. I love listening to Sky News and Deutsche Welle (English edition). They have also many interesting documentaries. I didn't understand everything at first, but now after I've been listening daily
How long did it take you to understand it clearly?
I really appreciate your effort in this outstanding video 😍 thanks a bunch!

I am the person who is come to the Bengali community ,where the English is using for little a bit. So, I just recommend my listeners who is believe in themselves, they just doing a great work for their life. Bcz it's all about themselves progressions and multitudes. Hope for good yeah all.
i want to be a native speaker in English so much. like you have said before, to be a native i must improve my vocab, pronunciation, speaking, listening, writing, reading, etc. Very enjoy to learn English from your podcast. thanks a lot

When it comes to listening, my most favorite podcast is the stuff you should know.
Listen something, which you truly enjoy,it could be your favorite artist interviews, or may be songs too.
By time, you will surely start enjoying the process of listening.
And remember guys, listening is one of the most sought activity, when it comes to learning a new language.
Keep learning, share your ideas, over here.
I would love to hear from you guys.
A big shout out to the creator of this video.
Kudos to you too.
I'm a college going student,
I am also working on my spoken English.
I was randomly strolling on the TH-cam. Luckily, got end up, on your video.
The idea or tricks, you told in it, is splendid, it is not montanous, like those traditional things.
Keep going man......
Lots of love from India
God bless you brother nice to listen to you
Thanks a million for such great advice. I really enjoy watching your videos, because I find them really helpful. I'm an Egyptian English teacher, and YES, listening is a troublesome skill to the most of EFL learners:D I always recommend them to practice it as much as they can to master these skills. I think English-subtitled videos are a good start to improve listening skill. They help the brain to process spoken language and get used to it.
For the first time.i follow all the video at the end because I understood mostly all your speech . I sincerely thank .
I meant I sincerely thank for your advice
Hi Jack, my English level is intermediate, I'd like to continue learning more and more and be able to speak fluently. I love your videos. Thank you for your help.

Can we speak with each other for improving English language?

I understood you about 90 percent, I heard your audio twice, the the second time it was much better, much more than 90 percent. I do not know my level because I have been studying on the internet by myself. Now I am focusing on "listening" it's my big problem.
What's your level now? I'm sure you're like a native speaker . however, keep going... your brother from Egypt 🎉🎉🎉❤
I like the way you teach: it is much easier now to listen to either any music or watch any movie. I apreciate it
Your accent is amazing, I wish everyone speaks as clear as you do.
If there was an agency which could announce to the English world to speak as clear as you do, then all problems with listening would be solved at once.
Exactly!!!!!
That is true. But reality many people don't.
