- 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 CZcams?
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!

Dear Bob....I am from Saudi Arabia and am planning to Study Master in English literature...and yes i feel sometimes I can not understand native speakers even though I studied English for 4 years ....
I don’t want to watch other youtuber😂😂😂😂😂
i appreciate your method go ahead
I have heard several videos and it is the first teacher that I understand perfectly .. thanks Bob
from Venezuela
Hey Bob! I agree 100% with you, and I tell you that you are not only an English teacher, you are a truly educator! God bless you! Enjoy your family! Big hug!
EDUCATOR!!!
Thank you very much! 🙂👍
Hi. Bob! God bless you! I have nothing more to say
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian good
Hi Bob I really like your English teaching
reasons:
no idioms used
fewer contractions used
fewer inside jokes used
full sentences used
Agree
And....The right pronunciation of sounds
@@user-hb9ri4hm8h اوك
I find it easy to understand the videos. My students love to watch the videos as well! I can tell them thousands of times that learning English is important. However, watching the videos helps them that much better :)
Also slow, deliberate articulation.
I like watching you, Bob! Respect for educating all of us, people from around the world... from Russia! 🇷🇺👍🤠
Hi Bob, i am Sergey from Ukraine. And now i am on Calagry, and i want learn English)) thanks for your job for us
Well, Canadian speaks slowly and clearly.I love canadians. they are soft spoken.❤️
I agree with you. I can understand easier Canadian people than whoever native English speaker.
I am froom Brazil and watch yuor videos but I anderstend little because english is weak
Yuor video has slow end paused conversation, graet for length
👍
Yeah I agree with that, but over the phone most of the people speak fast. I was involved in a conversation over the phone with someone speaking cockney accent.. I couldn't understand a thing..😐
I hope Canadians are kind to you! 🙂👍
Many thanks again for you vdo,I can listening easy ,now i pratic englisg but so hard,i will try.
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.
What a humble person! You say "go watch other youtube channels too". I subscribed sir!
He seems to be a good teacher and a honest man
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.
I try my best to don't use slang, but it can be good to learn. 🙂👍
@@LearnEnglishwithBobtheCanadian Thank you a lot,Bob.Most of people who teach English pronounce every syllable and letter(I guess it is to let other people whose native language is not English to understand you).And that's why it is very easy to understand what they are saying.What subject are you teaching?
I have difficult when the people talk me but i understand you!!thank
You're so clear when you pronounce words. You're a good teacher Bob. That's why I subscribed your channel. (thumbs up)
That's why I subscribed his channel too!..☺
Where are you from...
Would you like to be a spoken English partner...
@@moonstars5081 i'm looking for a partner too
Exactly
@@glyderglyder where are you from...
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 !
I watched X2 faster but even so i could understand all you said. Thanks for the recommendations. I will watch the reality shows anymore.
I'm a brazilian teacher who share your videos among my students and friends. You rock!!! Send hugs to Brazil, if it's possible. Thank you!!!
Hi Bob... you have no idea how much yours videos are helping me . Thank u so much...
Me too!
Me too.Thank You very much Bob🌹
And me!
You are welcome! 🙂

So true. I understand everything that you say, but when i hear other natives, it's so half hard. I'm from Brazil !
Turns out I'm not alone and I feel like I learned a lot from you. Teacher Bob.
I'm Vietnamese and I'm going to move to Saskatchewan. Nice to meet you.
I'm trying to speak English very well that my dream.
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
You're definitely right. I'm not a native speaker in English. I'm Indonesian, studied English literature and language since I was in the university.
Thanks for speaking clearly, so I could understand you easily (y) -- 4 thumbs up!
Dünyanın birçok yerinden öğrencilere sahip olma nedenlerinden biri de bu, harika bir aksanin var ve fazlasiyla anlaşılır konusuyorsun 💘💖
Bob, I think you are the best teacher on CZcams. Especially enjoy your lessons with video illustrations. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I agree with you
Really i agree with you
Yep 100
I think the same too
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.
Hi
Where r u from?
Perfectly explained. Awesome. Thanks a ton.
You are the best, Bob! Thank you for being so nice to us! God bless you!
I'm glad I found your channel! It's very helpful. Thanks for your work!
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 CZcams, but I would say this is the best to learn English. And I feel your face, smile and voice is so friendly.
THAT WAS AWESOME, BOB! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
Hi Bob! Yes, it's true! I absolutely agree with you! Thank you for your work here!
Thanks for the video, Bob the Canadian.
Besides that, you show be an honest, confident and a nice person. Ty for lessons.
I adore you. When you say I understand absolutely everything, but as soon as I listen to the speakers, I understand one third.
Would you like to be spoken partner with me. I Don't have anyone to talk.
Thanks, Bob Sir. I totally agree with you.
Thanks teacher! You teach so clear and easy to get it. One more I love the your gardens
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.
Keep it up❤
I understood every single word! thank you, Robert!
this title really defines me!!!! Bob is the best! thank you teacher 💙💚
From Venezuela with love thanks for your teachings you are best
Thank you, I practice listening and learn from you. 🙏
Thanks Bob, for the video. I fully agree with the reasons why I understand you easier than other teachers.
I'm convinced in that way.. Clear and understandable.
I can undestand you very well and clearly. Thanks !
When I listening to You, I understood absolutely clear !!!
It feels great to teach you in a natural way that too in the midst of real nature.
Thanks Bob for everything!!! greetings from Netherlands !👍

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.

This video content is why i choose to study with Bob channel even if there are so many other native speaker channels.
Hi, Bob. I agree will all of your arguments. As your youtube-student I really appreciate your methods
I am mohammsd from iraq. I really i love your vides. Appreciated your effort
Excellent explanation!!! Would you please make more videos about new phrasal verbs, but the same way you taught the previous ones?
I like your explanation, your voice is so calm, clear, it’s so good hear you.
I really did rewind the video when you said that Bob, by the way you have a pretty particular sense of humor which makes your work stick out, keep it up sir
Muito obrigado! Suas aulas são excepcionais, me ajudam muito.
Hi Bob I really enjoy listening your videos and I have learned so much english since I began to follow your channel. Thank you so much and keep doing your job, it s really helps people to learn english and I have been recomending your classes to my friends. Thanks a lot
Hello sir, i come from Vietnam. My English listening skill is so bad. But i can hear almost what you say. Thank you so much!
Now I'm happy because I both understand and love you
I'm Korean.
I see him so often. He's friendly.
jj-vlog Korean. It’s fantastix.
I love "train your ears". Since Some of English native speakers who come from different states of a country have different dialects and accents. This has become one of the challenges too. Thanks Bob.
Thank you Bob. I will try practice as per your advice. 😊
