I don’t know why I can’t stop watching this channel even though I live in Canada and I am fluent in English and get no added value :) your speech is soo mesmerizing :)
Max, You are a good English teacher.I wish you so that you along with your life partner could enjoy the rest of your life with peace and happiness.Thank you.
Sometimes understanding native speakers is not easy. Once I remember when I worked as a translator, a scientist from USA came on business mission to our Institute where they had some business projects. The director of the Institute asked me to meet him and translate his words from English to Russian. I entered his office and there were some people. He asked me to translate his words into Russian and when he started speaking English, it was quite another story and I didn't understand what he was speaking about. That was quite different English and that was not what I had learned or taught about. It was quite fast English. He was speaking fast like in the American movies and I asked him to speak it slower and after three or four attempts I finally understood him with difficulty. I was a bit ashamed of not doing it properly and it was so embarrassing and I was totally dumb. It was horrible and embarrassing. In my view, this happened because we lack spoken English practice with native English speakers.
When i watching your videos again. I never ever feeling pored. really all your channels very useful. Thank you for good job. Please max if you can give English grammar lessons.
You pronounce the words very clearly, which encourages me to continue watching, listening and learning. I have just subscribed to your channel. Thank you very much Max.
my main problem is background noises,I watch live news all day long here on youtube,so I already got used to the speed and entonation of native speakers. Great video teacher
Hey, Max! One more great lesson that you've produced. As for those topics you pointed out in your video, I believe that "mumbling" is the most significant problem for us to understand natives speakers. That reminded me those old americans wearing big hats in movies. It is almost impossible to get what they're saying. It is kinda a mix of vocabulary of a specific country region and mumble type thing. Listening teachers (all them) it is "peace of cake", despite linking, fast speech, advanced words, reductions, you name it. When a native uses a good entonation, correct mouth moviment and a widly used vocabulary, It is way better for us to hold a conversation. WAY TO GO! Thanks!
Well said Max Mam ,I am from Lahore Pakistan,and you uttered words or sentences Clear & Crystal , your style of teaching is so beautiful as beautiful you.
I think all things, but for me is sometimes understand and some times don't understand, other think is the intonation is important for understand native english speakers I think so, thank you Teacher Max
I also have a bad habit of mumbling but I understand you fully. There are some instances, particularly in American accent where I fail to understand the speaker.
Hello, Max! I find it hard to understand native speakers because of reductions and, of course, because of high speed. Thanks for the tips. Excellent video! I like it! I've found out your channel and I'm going to binge-watch it!
I, non-native speaker of English nothing to say why I couldn't able to, as you already had done well research and presented admirably. I appreciate your hard home work/effort to speak slowly as to understand by non-English people. According my own experience it is very difficult to speak/act/ape as native of any language.
My pleasure :). You're absolutely right. Learning to speak exactly like a native speaker is unrealistic (and not necessary) for the vast majority of people. Lots of teachers claim to be able to teach people to speak like a native, but it's just marketing. ;-)
After a couple of years of putting efforts in learning English, I get used to understanding natives in a much easier way than before. Nevertheless, I have to keep it up to take my English level to the next step as I've a goal to achieve 8 IELTS band score and to do the CELTA. Wish me please the best luck ☺ Regards, Ahmad,
Great video Max you are amazing Your videos are excellent and I like to watch them Thanks a lot and have a great Thursday my beautiful teacher 😉🇧🇷 stay home and healthy
Thanks for video. You are amazing teacher. I almost completely understand without any subs. It's awesome to take a pause between BBC learning English podcast and Murphy Grammar and enjoy the English by Max.
Teacher, i like your video, your English is very clear and easy to understand. I hate of Australian and New Zealand who speak English because their pronunciation are out of tones. I went for the course a few times. If lecturer from Australia or New Zealand. I totally don't understand what they talking about.
Não imaginava que você falava português também kkkk percebi pela descrição do vídeo em português... Acompanho a algum tempo você aqui e seu canal é demais!!! Hugs from Brazil!!
I thank you for your effort . I may present a point of view for you to help all your audience ; which is having regular and scheduled live podcasts with the ones who are interested. You may conduct a vote for this.
Not what this is all about, but I was wondering what "Hope" was all about. Thanks for reading my and other people's minds. I mumble sometimes ... Congrats on reaching 10,000 subscribers!
WELL THEN ITS NOT MY FAULT BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND VERY WELL. JUST TELL ALL AMERICAN PEOPLE SPEAK PROPERLY THANKS TEACHER YOURE THE BEST TEACHER AT THE WHOLE WORLD ANDTHE WHOLE UNIVERSE AND THE WHOLE GALAXIES AND THE ALL THE SOLARS SYSTEMS
It is a really nice video. I could understand every word that you spoke during the video. I also liked the tips mentioned by you. This is definitely going to improve listening skills.
Well done my beautiful teacher!! I don't understand English speakers too well🤔😭, even if I watch TV/movies throughout the day👿😈, I don't understand anything 😠😡, but at times I do hear them small🤷 but I won't really understand what's going on there(movies)🙆🤦🤕😡😠☹️, so sad, please help🙏🙏🙏
I know it's frustrating! You might find it easier if you first listen to easier things, and then gradually increase the difficulty of what you are listening to. It's also important to look up words you don't know to increase your vocabulary. You might find these videos helpful: th-cam.com/video/vuYuTtVHYSQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/0j-eVXTRBHw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/TuKxA6UCblI/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, speaking other languages helps a lot. It trains your ear, and also makes you observe many things of your own language, as human expression in general. Okay, so I will tell a related story, because I am bored. Once I had an argument with a British friend. I usually speak to him in a relatively okay English accent, but I swap back to Spanish, or whatever I can, when needed. I also simplify my vocabulary, or use Latin rather than Germanic English words when it helps communication. That is because I only accidentally ended up learning English when my main purpose was to lazily learn Lingua Franca. Long live the planet and down with the empire!, and all that. So, basically we were having a conversation with an Italian guy and I just started speaking "badly" to him to make myself understood and be welcoming and nice. British friend could not understand a thing, so felt excluded. My point was that the Italian guy with a poor English was making a huge effort to make himself understood and understand, whereas my British friend was not. The thing is that he was actually making an effort, and I was been a bit nazi there. He was just useless to do it any better. He had no clue of anything Latin related, and was from a small town, so he was not that used to how foreigners sound. So, yeah, if he had learnt some latin based language (or any, really) it would have been much easier for him. Anyway, I still think that the intelligent move would have been to let me translate using my Swiss-knife-like joke of an English proficiency to be more active in the conversation and, you know, enjoy life. So, yeah. Being a native English speaker is a privilege, but it does not guarantee that you speak Lingua Franca at all. Mandatory Lingua Franca or Foreign Language courses would make it way more of a privilege, in my opinion.
Thanks for speaking slowly I can understand you very well and thanks for the subtitles everytime I find a new world in your speech i can take notes and later go to the dictionary.. by the way . Do you have a video about linking vowel to vowel .. today I realized Australian use three letters to do that Y, W, and R .. is it true? I would like to know your opinion or some sentences to practice this kind of linking.. thanks for your videos.. greetings from Mx.
I do not understand speech in TV programs. But I do not really need it. I use the language for reading mostly. Here, where I live, a live native speaker can be met with a bit more probability than an alien :)
"Native Englisch speakers don't tend to learn other languages" - this must have been the same expierence for you in France :-) as native French speakers never learn other languages. Greetings from Germany - now waiting for the shitstorm from my neighbour country ;-)
The lesson is interesting. However, I just curious of your earrings. What do you mean by wearing using a lock earring on your right and padlock on your left?
I'm watching on netflix "Gossip Girl" and i think its kind of difficult to understand the characters, even because as far as i noticed, they speak really fast and dont open their mouth quite well.
Thank you for your videos :) I'm really enjoining it. Would you recommend videos or movies which are useful for learning English? In addition, phrasal verbs and some expressions that natives often use everyday life? :) Thank you Max Have a great day !!!
Thank you for your comment! I'm glad you like them :). I've actually already made a couple of videos about movies and series: th-cam.com/video/zqjQn5UZxCo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/rmlbp9gYpfE/w-d-xo.html I hope they help! And I plan to do some videos on expressions very soon :).
Hi Max. Thanks for the video it helped me to understand there is a difference between series and daily life speaking. Also, do you have a problem about understanding different accents around the world? Or generally, do natives understand all accents completely? A conversation between An australian and a british for example
You're welcome. :) Generally speaking, native speakers understand each other, even if they have different accents. There are a few exceptions: 1. People who never watch movies/series from other countries (or who haven't travelled much) sometimes have difficulties understanding other accents. 2. People often find very strong regional accents difficult to understand if they're not used to them. For example, I can normally understand Scottish and Irish people with no problems, but if their accent is very strong, I sometimes don't understand everything.

"Native Englisch speakers don't tend to learn other languages" - this must have been the same expierence for you in France :-) as native French speakers never learn other languages. Greetings from Germany - now waiting for the shitstorm from my neighbour country ;-)
Having lived in this country for over 50years my take on the inability of a number of people to not understand is laziness in trying to understand.
The lesson is interesting. However, I just curious of your earrings. What do you mean by wearing using a lock earring on your right and padlock on your left?
They don't mean anything. I just like them. :)
I'm watching on netflix "Gossip Girl" and i think its kind of difficult to understand the characters, even because as far as i noticed, they speak really fast and dont open their mouth quite well.
You're right! And I think they also use a lot of slang, if I remember rightly. (I watched it a few years ago.)
English with Max yeah, totally. They use more slang than rappers hahahahah
I can speak english when talking to people,on vacation( at turistic cities) ,but it's not easy to watch a film and understand everything.
Don't worry - I lived in France for six years and I still find some French movies hard to understand ;).

There are a few exceptions:
