Teacher Prix I can't understand native speakers what do I do
well watch this video and find out coming up hey student I am Teacher Prix and I’m going to help
you talk to anyone anywhere anytime in English well thank you so much for watching this lesson
make sure to subscribe because every week I bring different kinds of English lessons to
help you become a better and more confident English speaker now guys let's talk about
understanding native speakers in English how do you do it guys this is more common
than you can possibly imagine so I imagine that your question now is teacher I am stuck
how do I get from stuck not understanding native speakers not understanding movies to this
understanding people in English you know movies tv series like my students like this student of
mine from the Academy and nowadays I can read in English I can speak in English I can understand
almost everything in English one of my dreams was to understand TV News
and now I can watch them and understand them and you told me that sometimes you watch Tony Robbins
as well right yes can you can you understand him more can you understand Tony Robbins more now
yes now I I’m getting better to understand what he says and I feel comfortable with her speaking
after she followed my methodology in my program she was finally able to understand tv news
to understand tv series this other student so how how do you make this transformation
from not understanding to understanding native speakers trainers Americans tv shows
music tv news tv series you name it basically guys in your listening comprehension
you need to analyze grammar vocabulary pronunciation intonation and finally comprehension
students want to get to the comprehension part yes I wanna understand but they ignore the importance
of grammar the importance of vocabulary the importance of pronunciation and intonation
I had a student who told me he could hear all the words teacher I can hear all the words
but I cannot understand them I cannot put them together to understand the message
so I had this student once who told me that so here what was the problem grammar and
vocabulary he could hear the words very clearly but he was slow at connecting the phrases the
message behind so what's the point of listening to the word if you can't put the idea together
so this is a very clear grammar problem and sometimes vocabulary okay that's why I say this to
you most students want to go to the comprehension part yes I will listen but then they ignore the
grammar they ignore the pronunciation the ignore the vocabulary and if they don't work on these
guys comprehension day doesn't come so how do you improve how do you study actually how do you study
all these points to improve your listening skills let's say you decide to watch a short ted talk
okay no more than five minutes you decide I want to practice my listening
so I will watch a short ted talk five minutes that's good then you hit play okay I’m watching
here's where there is a problem if you only listen I’m sorry but your comprehension will not improve
at that moment when you make the decision to watch a ted talk of five minutes you will need to follow
a process to actually improve your listening comprehension and this process will involve
the grammar vocabulary writing and pronunciation skills you need to connect these exercises these
practices in the short ted talk that you decided to watch to improve your listening
comprehension another important element is the number of times you repeat that video so that
you can work on different activities each time you listen this is also something students don't pay
attention to they think that if they magically keep listening they will eventually improve
their listening comprehension that is not going to happen you need to to repeat that audio clip and a
few number a few times okay a different number of times and every time you repeat the video
you will need to focus on something different and this is where students don't realize that am I in
an appropriate environment to work on my listening comprehension because if I am in the car or on the
bus or walking on the street it'll be difficult to do certain activities that will help you improve
your listening comprehension so every time you finish this video you watch you have to go
to the next activity you have to repeat the process but do a little activity that is different
from the previous time you were exercising another important thing you need to understand is
you need to choose wisely what is to choose wisely to think well
analyze what you're choosing to watch to listen as I always say to my students you
have a million of English lessons available really everything is free on the internet really you have
but you need to know how to choose and how to use the lesson you chose for free on the
internet and this is what the internet won't teach you well you have information but you
have to filter and that is the most difficult part in my Academy for example in every lesson
my students have a listening activity that will challenge them and will make them work on
different aspects of the language I also give them extra challenges where I choose specific materials
to work on their listening comprehension tv series short scenes for movies interviews documentaries
talk shows short talk shows why they work on pronunciation intonation grammar vocabulary
they have the right kind of variety to finally understand native speakers in conversations
you need variety but you also need to know how to use the variety you have you have many options of
things to watch and to listen but you need a good process so that you know how to use this variety
and this is your biggest challenge your challenge will be to organize all of this practice and
study by yourself and in many cases what ends up happening is students get a lot of audio clips to
listen and they listen and they expect to improve but unfortunately they don't take the necessary
action to work on their listening working on the necessary grammar on the necessary reading reading
can also be very helpful and when they don't do that oh another problem they're not consistent
with their listening practice they listen a lot one day and then the other is like no I’m busy
oh then they listen three days later that oh I’m gonna listen to something then they don't improve so
this is what you need to think about okay I’m stuck how again I showed you a few students at
the beginning of this video I have more cases like that these are just some examples okay
and what do they do differently they followed my program and I organized a study routine for them
but they also took action they were consistent they believed in my program they took a chance
but they followed my recommendations consistently with the right kind of variety okay I recommend
you organize your study routine to include different kinds of activities and to help my
students do that well I have my Academy my Academy is the most important program but not everyone can
join sometimes it's not the time for you you don't have the money to invest so I created a study
plan cycle I call it 21 day study plan cycle and basically this study plan will help you reorganize
your study routine so that you can improve your English speaking listening vocabulary much faster
I will help you to organize your practice so that you can study and learn how to combine different
activities especially if you are alone and you cannot follow a program like mine like the Academy
and in this study plan cycle I even give you a present which is a tv series workshop replay so
that you can watch you know it's a present I give the the people who join this study plan cycle who
get this study plan cycle this cycle will teach you how to organize yourself so that you can keep
studying and studying okay in the description of this video you will find the link so that
you can get this plan it'll be very helpful to you to help you be more organized but
guys in general if you want to understand native speakers you will have to listen and take action
while working on different skills that I explained in this video grammar vocabulary pronunciation
sometimes students don't understand people in English because of the way words are linked
so this should be in your practice okay you don't have to listen for long hours but you need to be
consistent and take the other English skills into account okay this is what I always tell
my students focus listening requires attention concentration okay take notes describe what
you listen study the words you learn and you will gradually get better I hope you enjoyed this video
make sure to share it with your friends but other than that I’ll see you next time bye
