Powerful Listening Skills | How English Speakers Show They're Listening (And How You Can Too)
How do you know if an English speaker is listening to you? Really listening?
Your ideas, stories, and opinions are important. In this lesson, you’ll know the signals English speakers use to show they are listening.
The lesson is longer than usual but necessary because you’ll learn:
- Why listening is a powerful, generous gift
- How active listening can benefit you
- How to know when English speakers are listening
- What signals you can use to show you’re listening to others
- What to say when someone isn’t listening to you (but they should be)
At Speak Confident English, we are ALL about helping you speak AND communicate with confidence.
Fun, easy, and clear communication means strong listening skills are a must.

Yes, she is.
In the Hmong culture, older people don't look at you in the face when they are talking to you. Instead, they would turn their face the other way. Also, women never shake hand with men or smile at any men. I love all your videos. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I could speak exactly like you. You speak English so gracefully. Thank you for the very helpful videos.

I’m originally from Iran & live in the US since 2010. I wanted to say that yes we ,Iranians, are noisy listeners too and it’s a sign of respect 😇
You are a really good English teacher!
I found new in this that u suddenly says something out of topic in the sarcastic way that someone gets embarrassed and get full attention to what ur are discussing. It really good and cool way 😊🤗
THANK YOU FOR THIS CLASS THANK YOU VERY MUCH GOD BLESS ALL YOU
You speak speachless, specific explain in simpler form, no over acting
Can’t agree more. Listening is more important in communication.
You have a pleasant voice, thanks so much for this video.
My husband never listen to me, because English is my second language. I’m feeling hurt when he laughing and joke what I speaking. I feel good to learn English with you. Thank you so much. I appreciated.
I love your pronunciation 🙏🏻

Thank YOU. I am listening and following YOU
Good afternoon Annemarie! What an honor to participate here on the channel. When I realize that I am not being heard, I do exactly as you said: I stop talking and the person then refocuses his attention. I have learned a lot here on the channel and as I said, it is a great honor to watch your videos. May God richly bless you !!!
I am Chinese,when we listen other person speaking,we don't use verbal cues because that will give the speaker the impression that you lose your patient to listen,so we just respond when other person finished his speech and use to verbal cue
Thank you for such useful, excellent video! Your pronunciation and pauses are perfect for me. 📚

as usual, an interesting lesson, and not only for learning English ¡¡
Your speaking speed is perfectly calibrated, not too fast and not too slow, great for all of us to model off 👍.
I feel good when someone is listening to me. I feel interested. I think we listen on silent, because sometimes we asked are you there ? I am going to learn the verbal and not verbal cues more now that I am leaving in an english country. I need to imitate you to talk on the way you do. You’re awesome 👏🏻 thanks
thank you very much,your voice and you are both beautiful
Amazing Mam, good luck from Dubai

Another fantastic lesson, thank you! Working on every aspect to improve my English like reading, listening, grammar, watching movies but can't speak because I have no one to talk to practice... it is really disappointing sometimes but I am not going to give up.
Excelente video, gracias ...
You are amazing! The way you convey your videos are truly inspiring.
Thank you so much for making this lesson free i love your lesson 💕
you are right. listen is the very beginning of learning a language. it's my experience as i am learning english. the most important thing is that you must understanding what the speaker's meaning. if you don't get the meaning what you listened, you have to change another video to listen or you waste your time. effective learning is very significant. am i right?
Hello good morning good video thank you
Get over it. Press on. I just take time to care for myself. Very helpful verbal cues. Thanks.
I love the way you talk. It's really soo admirable.
Of course Useful

Teacher Annemarie, you do awesome lessons plus you speak so effortlessly. Thanks a lot your videos are improving my speaking and listening skills and also how to be more polite. Thank you!
Thank you. ❤
Thank you so much Annemarie, one precious lesson more. Over the years I have built a mixed way to express myself into Spanish, Portuguese and lately Franch, so I don't know exactly how I hear people and which are the verbal clues I use. To listening others I make eye contact not fixed of course and I also use to look at the hands the person who talk to me. You, for exemple use your hands as an important tool to comunicate yourself, its work perfectly, I think if I'd wacht a video of you where you speak without your hands I wouldn't undestand anything. You also have very beautiful hands. Keep doind it please. And Thank you again for everything you're doing for me. You're a great coach!!!
Hi AnnMarie I really love the way you carry yourself throughout the session giving us precise and clear information. First impression is the best impression. Really pleasant and graceful presentation. You are Great.
Thank you Annemarie..I'm Rozita from Malaysia..love to follow your lesson.
Thank you madam
Thank you, Annemarie for your lesson, especially for the tips what to do when someone isn't listening to you during conversation. I'm rather good at active listening, so good that I have little opportunity to speak by myself! So when I have a chance to speak (very rare) I continue too long and eventually lose someone's attention. Here in Poland we use very similar verbal cues and sounds as English speakers do but we aren't so noisy, I think.
Good. I'm full gratitude. Love it. Thank you a lot for sharing. Congratulations!!
THANK. YOU. FOR. CARING MRS. ANNEMARIE THANK YOU. VERY. MUCH GOD. BLESS. YOU
Thank you so much l benefited a lot from your lessons but how can l practice speaking English in my daily life as a native speaker so that all people around me speak Arabic How could you help me to practice speaking English

This is a helpful channel to learn speaking English ❤️
Great tips! Thanks a bunch.
Following you earlier and following you this time and finding you look greater as smarter as ever of course♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thanks a lot for this class. Si great to be there.
Hi...thanks for this lesson Anne Marie!!! I have reviewed it several time!... nice and really useful for me., and you perfect as usual... Regards.
Hello, I recently discovered you. I'm at level B1 and I can say you're easy to understand, with a comfortable speed. This lesson is very interesting, so I subscribe to your channel. About the body language, I use it especially when it's important, when I want to give a real impact, that makes a change with a normal conversation.
This is very interesting! , Spanish is my tongue language, and we have “the good listener’s rules” , which is basically a list of steps that you must follow to have a conversation, we learn this rules at school and home , one of the rules is “listen in silence to the one speaking”
I really like ur accent, how it is clear. Thank u so much 😊
Thanyou só much yes
Nice verbal cues. One I use so much is "yeah"
I m really so excited by ur way of explaining, thank you so much. All the best
