Why Can't I Understand Native English Speakers, But I Can Understand You?
As you learn English, have you ever wondered why it is hard to understand native English speakers, but you have very little trouble understanding English teachers like me on KZread?
In this English lesson I'll outline 5 reasons why this occurs AND I'll give you five solutions to help you continue to strengthen your English language knowledge in spite of this "problem". P.S. It isn't really a problem is it? 😎
⌛ Remember: Always watch the video three times. Twice today with English subtitles on, and once tomorrow with the English subtitles off. This will reinforce the English you have learned!

Bob the Canadian speaks how a good elementary school teacher would speak, very clearly but without treating viewers as stupid. As a native English speaker, he's very calming to listen to.
I like watching you, Bob! Respect for educating all of us, people from around the world... from Russia! 🇷🇺👍🤠
Well, Canadian speaks slowly and clearly.I love canadians. they are soft spoken.❤️

You speak clearly, logically... But most importantly, you don't use slang. Many learners can't understand movies even if they read the scripts because they never learnt slang or swear words in school.

Hello Bob ! I am a French teacher of English. I come from Madagascar but I live in France. I have been living here since 1992. Sometimes, I give lessons to Malagasy students who live in Madagascar on Zoom or other applications. From time to time, I send them some of your links and they love them. They have told me that you are easy to understand. Thank you for sharing !
You are the best, Bob! Thank you for being so nice to us! God bless you!

Hi Bob. I'm Korean and this is the first time to write comment on your channel. I thank you every time for your good contents and I feel as if I'm traveling in Canada nature or street with you. Yes, your pronunciation is so clear to get it, and I feel you have thought effective English learning very deeply. I recommend this channel to my friends and colleagues whenever I get a chance. There are so many channel which gives help to learn English in KZread, but I would say this is the best to learn English. And I feel your face, smile and voice is so friendly.
the first time i've totally understand a native speaker. lol thankyou so much, teacher.
Hi Bob! I agree with you. I always get frustrated when I watch the BBC or CNN TV News Programs. If I understand 30% of what they say, that's too much. Thanks for your tips and lessons.

You're voice is so clear Bob the Canadian That's why you are the best
Perfect person for my 4 years old boy to learn English from!! Thanks so much Bob!
Hi Mr. Bob, just found your channel few weeks ago. I don’t usually write comments because I’m not good at English, I’m afraid that people gonna laugh but I just want you to know that you’re so sincere in teaching people that you don’t even know, telling us to watch other videos in order to learn more is a thing that only sincere person can do. Thanks and sorry for my grammar. BTW I subscribed both to your channels right after I’ve came across in one of your videos.
Thank you Bob. Your pronuciation is really clear. I moved to the US recently, but people here have different accents.On these days I work hard to improve my skills, days and nights.And When I'm talking in English with a person that English is their second language too, like me, I feel more confident, but I experince so much stress when it comes to the native people. Because talking is like playing ping pong and if I don't understand what they say I feel embarrassed deeply that I messed up again. Sometimes some people don't have any tendency to repeat their words so I prefer not to ask them to say that again. Instead I'm trying to improve my listening. I share my experience here for those ones who experiencing the same journey. Thank you again Bob. I always take notes of your videos.

I can understand 70% what you say, i from vietnamese, but i living in country so i just learning english through video of youtube, i can not speak because i learn english by myself, no one can speak with me, that's so hard for me to learning english, my dream is to be a teacher but it will not come true
Excellent explanation!!! Would you please make more videos about new phrasal verbs, but the same way you taught the previous ones?
Hey Bob. Thanks for these amazing videos. I am new to your channel. I have shared a couple of your videos with some of my students and colleagues around the world. I am a language teacher myself. I have spent more than 30 years teaching French, English, and Spanish. I thought I spoke English before I came to live here in Mid-Georgia. I felt frustrated because after many years of teaching and speaking the language I was not able to understand anyone here. Of course, my college English had not been tested in a US southern environment. Southern American English has a unique intonation pattern and vowel changes. That makes it difficult to understand. So my advice is to listen to a wide variety of people with different accents and different social backgrounds. it may help a lot.
Till now Bob is my best teacher. Thanks a lot. I've learned more with you man.
I can understand you Bob... I'm learning English since January, by the way, good videos
You amazing I understand everything what you say. I'm from Sudan
You are a great teacher 🙏🙏thanks for this.
