Have you ever been speaking to someone in English and you can’t understand what they are saying? Of course! This is something that happens to all of us, native speakers included.
In this video, I’m going to show you a simple technique called rephrasing, that you can use to instantly help you to solve this problem, avoid embarrassing miscommunications, and communicate more fluently.

  • "When you learn a new language, you become part of the community of that language." I was moved by this part because, for the first time, I felt within that community.🌹🌺🌻🌼🌷🏵

    • When you learn new language, you really become a part of their community. You start watching videos, read books, news in new language. Probably, now you can't talk with anyone, but in future, when you improve your language skills, you start do that too. I'm from Armenia and in my country not enough content in my native language. Even russian content become too boring for me. Due to that, i started learning english and it open for me new world with a lot of interesting content. Get luck :)

  • Another advantage of rephrasing is, that you show to your communication partner that you have been listening and are actively trying to understand what they are saying.

Even me, who speaks Russian all my life , feels everything Christian says deeply inside. Thank you, Christian, for your wisdom. Your words calm down our brains and minds. We can breath freely and move forward to our dreams!

  • Hah! I did that pretending I understood something today. But hear me out. I was driving our Ukrainian teenager from school to his new home today. He was saying something, but still speaks quite quietly, and I just didn't catch what he was saying. I pretended I didn't hear properly so he repeated himself - and I still didn't understand what he was saying. But ... obviously English isn't his first language (although he's pretty good at it now), but he's only really started talking to us in the past 6 months or so, and I valued his spontaneous communication more than possibly making him feel embarrassed by correcting him / asking him to repeat himself again. And I was driving, so needed to concentrate on that. So yes, I pretended I understood what he was saying on this occasion in order to keep the conversation lines open.

  • Your pragmatic approach speaks to me. Reasking to make sure you have understood everything correctly reminds me of the Ideological Turing Test which has nothing to do with ideologies but concerns with retelling the position of your interlocutor and then asking whether you catch one's idea.

You speak about your favourite glass that you wanted to use only on special occasions and you didn't allow your father using it. You taught me to see the life better and the story touched my heart. Could you name this video's title again for me? I wanna share it to others. Thanks for being so wise and very intelligent.

I knew few words and English grammar a very little but I decided to tell continually about something and not to stop myself in any case. My teacher was very surprised and I got a "5" (it means - excellent). 😊 Thank you for the lesson. Hello from Russia.

  • I am very glad that I found this channel because it helps me a lot. I have been trying to learn English for about 1 year, from books and with the help of the KZhead channel. You can learn grammar from books, words with diligence. DE: if you have to understand something after hearing it, it's already very difficult for me. On this channel I can see the text and hear (for me at a normal speed) the text. I'm ashamed, but I'm like a small elephant: I learn with difficulty, I forget quickly. Indeed, the secret lies in dealing with the English language every day. Thank you and greetings from Budapest. (this beautiful wording was made with the help of Google translator, I hope I won't have to use it for a long time)
