The reasons why it is difficult to understand some native English speakers :
1) They talk funny 2) They speak quickly 3) They combine words 4) They have regional accents 5) They use slang 6) They don't speak classroom English 7) They use age communication 8) Their grammar is informal
9) Their pronunciation is not clear 10) They use phrasal verbs / idioms
hhh you right 😂
Mollie Tai Agreed
most of the points are found in learning any language. So you find it useful if english is the FIRST foraigner language you deal with. BUT, what it really stands out is the difference in accents in great britain, the difference between GB and the USA(whose regional accents are quite soft) and the main factor: the distance between writen and spoken english. I would add the the tendency speaking quite informal in the USA even in quite formal or professional enviroments.
Thanks for commenting, Mollie Tai! I appreciate your point of view ;-)
Mollie Tai You forgot to say they speak incorrectly by pronouncing the words wrong and using a bad gramma,just like me do in english.
This happen mainly in the USA and in Africa.
Your English is very clear. I can understand.every words you said! I really like your way of speaking.
Yes u right
Really,,, she is very good speaker. I want a person who can speak English so that I can enhance myself.. Is here someone...??

I'm in Maine and I have two native roommates, it took me 6 months to be adapted with their accents 😅 I believe English is an ocean, it'll never end.
It ends only for the native speakers 😢😢
Fateme Ekbatani!
So is every language.
Don't worry, all native speakers can't understand Scots and Irish. It is never ending
English never ends for native speakers too lol trust me
I speak English fluently now (Or so I'd like to think) and I learned most of my formal and correct English from watching TV shows and movies in English with closed captions. That actually helped me develop my current American accent that I have, to the point where many young people when I was younger used to tell me I sounded "too White". As I became older and became exposed to real English speakers, I noticed that most people, especially here in NYC, actually speak very colloquial and many times, grammatically incorrect English. I started to become more familiarized with slang, local words and they slowly started to seep into my own speech. Now, instead of saying "isn't" sometimes I say "ain't" instead of saying "ask" sometimes I say "aks" instead of saying "I think so" sometimes I say "ah think so", for "you all" I say "y'all". I am fully aware these are only incorrect and colloquial ways of saying it and most of the time I am very conscious when I say it and when to use it and around whom but sometimes, my "New York-ness" takes over and I speak incorrect colloquial English, especially when I'm stressed out or speak with someone who speaks in urban vernacular or has a heavy NY accent but when I am at work and I am explaining something to a client, I speak correct standard English. I also speak slower and more clearly when I am speaking with an ESL person with flimsy English skills. I currently have some sort of hybrid White/African American New York accent when I speak English as I do work with mostly African American people and have for more than 13 years, not to mention, I attended college for an additional four years with many of them. I am actually quite proud of my accent. Most people can't even tell I'm Latino when I speak over the phone as I made sure I eliminated that accent completely while learning English.
jsphat81 how i can speak english quickly you tell me?
+Shabbir khan Watch TV and movies in English with closed captions so you can read what they are saying while you speak, then try watching the same TV show and movie, this time without the caption and see how much you understand. Also, speak as often as possible with native speakers. Listen to English music with the lyrics as well. Those are just some tips.
jsphat81 thanks friend
+Shabbir khan you're welcome
Sir what are you give me number i want to chat if u dont distrub?
I'm a native english speaker but I'm watching all of your videos anyways haha, I find it interesting about how some people can not understand some accents and things, because I never really knew that
are you American or British or australian?
American
Lol thats interesting ,i jus wish I was born american to get rid of all my suffer and pain 😐
min yoongi 🙈🙈

My favorite channel. She's so clear and objective. No distractions, only English!
Hello Gabby! I am a self taught English learner from Brazil. I am really surprised cause I understand every word you say. And sometimes when I am watching documentary or listen to online radios in English I am not able to understand the English of some guys. Thanks for this channel. It`s really helpfull. ;)
Thanks.
Eu também estudo por mim mesmo, me considero bem autodidata. Você, assim como eu, entende 100% do que ela fala porque existe a preocupação em ter clareza na mensagem. Isso não acontece o tempo todo por aí.
Vocês vão se sentir muito felizes quando começarem a entender a série everybody hates Chris, trust me hahaha, you'll feel much better.
She's awesome, beautiful, and also understand the she say , i'm from Brazil too.
Tambem prefiro estudar fora e essas de seguir canal de brasileiro ensinando falar ingles pra mim não da. Thanks.
Outro local bom para aprender é www.usalearns.org totalmente gratuito e nao é brasileiro, foi de uma iniciativa americana. bons estudos.
I'm Brazilian I started learning English at 6 months . I know that have a long way to become fluent, but every day I think English similar to Portuguese. someone who think like me ?
Your accent is great.I understand you almost clear although i am not advanced level...
Hello Brave Star2, Thanks for watching! Have you subscribed? Click here: czcams.com/users/gonaturalenglish
100 percent agree. a good example to me (I'm Spanish) are movies and TV shows. I push myself to watch Netflix in English to improve my listening, it's freaking frustrating, because normally I can only catch isolated words and phrases, but cant't follow the dialogs. So I must rely in english subtitles.
I speak English and I also do this with Spanish when it is available. It's hard to understand without the subtitles but I enjoy it. Good luck man!
Is that you, Don Pablo?
Nikolai Tsakov Yes, It's me, but don't tell anybody, they think I'm dead XD
Don Pablo, I badly need a Colombian snow ❄️ man for my birthday party 🎉 !!!
That'll keep the party going for at least 3 extra hours
I am from India and not student as I am retired.l have watched your Go natural English onyou tube and liked many. Yours is very simple and perfect method of teaching correct English.Watching you on youtube I feel Ihave improved my English alot .Thank you
Regarding "classroom English": well, almost half a century ago, in my high school in Zagreb, Croatia (then Yugoslavia) we used to stage little sketches lifted from TV sitcoms (both British and American), but also did Shakespearian dialogues. Our lecturer went to great pains to point to us the differences between various versions of formal English as well as different vernaculars and accents. Perhaps I was just lucky to have an exceptionally good teacher, but I certainly was not taught "We write?" I hope your objectives here are more ambitious than "We write?"
hey Gabby I wish everyone speaks pure,clearly.like you
Hey Nabil Dawoud thank you! I'd love it if you'd share this on Facebook, Twitter or Whatsapp with your friends who are improving their English!
I hope so but it’s not real and it’s shouldn’t be real though. Diversity is so important
USA accent is very easy for me to understand, unlike the british one, Maybe because I've used to watch americand shows and cartoons.And play games. So yeah, USA rulz :D
Digifan001 hah yeah. My roommate is eastern European. I am a native western Canadian English speaker. his English is almost perfect when he's talking to me, but he makes me translate British videos for him 😂
Vypadkovyy You've gotta be kidding.
I have native English speaking American friends who can't understand British accents.
cvrator: Your English-speaking American friends need to go out more often...it's a big world out there.
I like when you said, "Do you follow me here?", as a question that a native speaker would know that you did not mean to literally follow you around, but whether or not they understood your question. I've worked with English as a 2nd language students, and sometimes they do tend to struggle because of the natural way native speakers use English. Mostly they just nod their heads because they do not understand and do not want to be seen as "stupid". I always tell them, if they don't understand, don't hesitate to stop and ask for clarification.
At the beginning of this year, I start learning English and now I'm so happy because I can Understand 99% of this video. I still can't understand movies very much. I'll keep working on this.
I know I am making mistakes, that's normal.
That's awesome! Keep it up! Also, I'd like to invite you to join our complete English course to improve your fluency. Please feel free to pre-register at gonaturalenglish.com/prereg to learn more!
Why am I watching this? I am already a native English speaker 😅
Really
So could you teach me ,please?
Ahhahahaha
Hahaha are you ok American
good for you.
The best (or only) way to undestand native speakers is to spend time in a country that has English as main language.
There is no other way.
Well , that is correct. It's the best way but there's a lot of people who want to learn and don't have money to live in another country. So they have to learn in different ways.
Farah AA i agrèeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
indeed underdog...
Yes. That's sure the best. But also there are some other ways.
Yahoo would chatting with me by wa guys
Muito obrigado! Thank you very much!
I love hear you again and again, is wonderful to me you are amazing teacher, maybe I wrong writing this sentence but it is part of my learning process to improve my english. I feel so good understand to you and you make me happy. thanks. bless you.
"Why is it that I can understand some native English speakers and not others?"
Because some of them refuse to open the mouth while speaking, I'd say.
Rivero Montara Exactly, i am a spanish native speaker and some native speakers talk very fast and not clearly... i guess people find difficult to understand.
Hi Rivero Montara, I can help you more with that at my website, gonaturalenglish.com. Join my free email group there!
..so kind of you..
listen CNN and repeat after them . . .
Rivero Montara: Native English-speakers understand each other quite well and so if you cannot understand what some are on about then the problem lies with you, and thus cannot expect them to change their ways just to suit you.
It’s so good watching all your videos and understand everything at the same time... you Made me feel better... thank You 😊
Im feeling motivated to study english!!

Thanks, dear you're the best English teacher in my life
OMG!!Thanks for your video)Your English is soo perfect😍I'm going to watch all of your videos😱
I believe for the below reasons:-
- They speaking really fast.
- the accent is different what we have learned in our home country since our teachers was not native speakers.
- Finally, our listening skills need more time to be adapte with the native speakers.
omg!!!😱😱😱😱❤ I can understand everything you said

Hi Napoleon Contreras, I can help you more with that at my website, gonaturalenglish.com. Join my free email group there!
Go Natural English
Napoleon Contreras I understand everything you said -)
Nobody can learn much English from a book- all books do is confuse the hell out of students with demented spelling rules that always have exceptions, and horrible, intimidating grammar that no English speaker worries about too much. Just relax, most people are patient if you fumble around trying to say what you're thinking, and won't worry if you mess up the grammar or pronunciation.
I'll tell you a secret: English grammar is so flexible that no matter how you mess it up, you can usually be understood.. Watch lots of TV, that gets you acclimatized to the speech patterns and slang expressions ( of which there are thousands).
English is spoken by a billion people, and every English -speaking country has its own varieties, so there is NOT one way to speak the language- they are ALL equally valid. Forget about your accent, because it doesn't matter. To my ears, the most incomprehensible English speakers are the Scots ( some of them) and English is their native language!
The other secret is to cease wondering "WHY??" about the spelling. We all know it's insane, and there is NO reason for its craziness except that we don't have enough letters in the alphabet to express all the sounds.
Go on, dive in! The water is warm and the locals are friendly!
Good luck. I wish you well, because I've done a few languages and know how hard it can be.
It's a lot, not alot Napoleon.
You are the best English teacher thank you ma'am 💕👍
I knew anything in English, but I´m improving my knowledge and I can understand your pronunciation perfectly, it´s incrible for me. You it´s helping the people to learn. Congratulations Gabby!
I appreciate it! Thank you!

So true I can understand accent but my English is not fluent
+Go Natural English
Thanks for this I be taking this course too.
+nguyễn thành công The best English teacher I have ever met said: "There are two kinds of learners. The first kind is able to understand everything, but can't express anything. The second kind speaks with mistakes, nevertheless fluently, but to understand a speech of someone else is a huge problem for them". So we - you and me - just belong to different part of mankind )
Konstantin Marikuca welcome to the Earth, bro :D
Gabby you are GREAT , I really apreciate your videos.
Hello Gabby, I'm 13 years old and I'm from Brazil..
I am studying English (only 2 months, yes, 2 months) and, my English is not very good yet...
It is very difficult understand natives in English... But when I watche your video is more easy, I can understand you more or less, 60 or 70%..
Thank you Gabby...
The problem is that even native English speakers have trouble understanding some other native English speakers.
what native speakers do when they do not understand some phrase?
Just ask what they mean. Some are sarcastic and say things like, "What the hell did you just say?" lol Don't do that. Just ask politely.
I need help to speak inglish please
that applies to all languages in the world lol
Sure?
very helpful!!
I wish every English native speaker would be like you :) You really know how to speak with non-native speakers Gabby. Congrats!
It's really helpfull because you Speak clearly.
Thank you so Much. And Thank you for the subtittle
I studied English in high school in Italy and later in Wellesley (MA) for a semester and finally in San Francisco at College. It happen to me as a ski patroller to assist injured turists from UK or Ireland and I get into some troubles because of their wierd accent or slang. However, at the end, we are able to comunicate.
I lived in the Northeast of the UK for 9 years and have lived in Australia for the last decade (since I was 13) so Australians can instantly pick out my British accent where as the British instantly call out my Australian accent. It doesn't help that I have quite a deep voice.
accents do change without you knowing depending on where you lived such as: if you were born in England but moved to Germany and you said "hello" it can change to "hallo" just because you've grown to understand that,
don't let it get to you too much because most people have that on different levels of severity and on how many places they've lived in

I've found most non native English speakers have a lot of difficulty picking my accent, though they generally understand me easily.
Oi.

oiiii
I have a combo of a southern, northern and Southern Californian accent, I grew up in the south with siblings from the north while playing Xbox games with a kid from Cali where I later ended up living, now I'm back in Arkansas and people always wonder where I'm from, when I tell them I'm from here they don't believe me haha, people in Cali assumed I was from the Midwest, the main give away that I'm southern is the slang I say and that often don't end my ing words with a g, I also don't say going to (unless I'm going somewhere) but rather gonna or fixin ta, example instead of saying going to go get the groceries, I say I'm gonna get the groceries, or I'm fixin ta get the groceries, you can use fixin other ways, like I'm fixin a drink, or you could also say in a command fix me a sandwich, I also say y'all about 50% of the time and you guys the other 50%, my general way of speaking lacks a southern drawl and I pronounce my words very clearly unless I'm really drunk, then I can sound like I'm from the south.
Dear Gabby, Thank you very much for these videos! I love to listen to you, you speak very nice, and we learn much from you! God bless you!

Americans are so easy to understand, try the Brits and kiwis, good luck if you are first timers. Americans speaks loud and in syllables, kiwis peaks fast and low voice tone.
i love your channel
You have a great talent and your voice is clear and you understand the best teacher

عليك أن تستمع إلى اللغه الانجليزيه من التلفزيون من دون أن تنظر إلى الترجمه ولمده لا تقل عن ساعتين يوميا مع متابعة المحاضرات على هذا البرنامج وركز على اللغه وسيبك من الانسه الجميله وألا بحياتك مابتتعلم مع تحياتي .
Well bro, you’ve got to use the adjective ARAB instead of Arabian because it has negative connotations.
بارك الله بيج God bless you
Thank you so much for putting more translating languages 🌹❤️🇮🇶
Watching movies with English subtitles is good in the beginning, but later it can slow down your progress, as you get used to rely on your reading skills instead of listening skills. So, as long, as you are comfortable with subtitles, turn them off and try to rely only on your listening skills. Also, I noticed that my listening skills get worse when I'm tired, so, it's, obviously, not a good time to listen to hard English accents.

Thanks, teacher. I loved your accent, it is pretty clear and I could understand more than 90% and I'm so excited 'cause I've learning English since last year and I've never imagined that. I like watching vlogs to improve it, I can understand kind of 50%/70% but I think my problem it is the phrasal verbs, Americans natives speakers use them often. Cya, teacher. Now you have a new Brazilian subscriber :D

I love the way you take pauses while speaking English, and pronunciation part is emphatic for us to be able to emulate.
One of the problems that we had a few years past in our study of the English language in Syria was the negligence of running useful conversations while in class .The authors of school curriculums chose to concentrate on the study of English literature instead which as a result made the students perform poorly in conversation . However these video clips of yours and the likes help us immensly in getting better skills concerning English conversation. Unlucky me I hsd not known about your video clips before .
I understand 10℅ than you speak ,but I study every single day and I want understand 100℅ one day :")
rsrsrs
come on
come on
To improve, you need to speak more. Listening will come naturally.
There is no other way to learn , you need to keep in your head " I WANT TO LEARN ENGLISH , I WANT SO SPEAK ENGLISH" ,study a little bit every single day and I'm sure in short period you will realize that you have improved a lot.

Thank you very much !
:")
I can hear your voice perfectly I understand everything you say, I'm learning a lot ! Thank you very much I'm from Sao Paulo, Brasil
Thx for you're advice how to understand native English.. Very interesting. Thx have a nice trip to u.. Ms Gabby..
I wish all English-speaking people can speak like you. You are the best..
I'm Dutch and have no problem what so ever to understand your English. My problem is that I can understand American-English fairly well but wen it comes to British-English, I sometimes think: 'what langues is this?' Some of there regional accents are so thick that I don't understand a word of it.
So damn true.
Neelix99: No such a thing as British English, and no such a thing as American English. There's English....all others are bastardized versions of the original.
Native English (US) speaker here and I have a hard time understanding 100% of some of those accents as well, especially people from Glasgow.
Neelix99: No such thing as American English, nor British English. It's English plain and simple.
That's very gud job gabby...keep it up
Thanks so much Gabby!I find the reason that why I can understand your spoken English but I can’t understand my professor and my classmates from India. It really helpful and useful, I looking forward to watching more your videos refers to this topic! It’s a great topic!
WOW... la primera vez que he entendido el 100% de un video completo en inglés!!!!
I understood 100%. Am I fluent? Not yet. 😭
+Raphaela Alves Same :(
+Raphaela Alves not yet dear....
"anyone not native speaker English will understand 100%".
+thiago augusto not always right...may or may not understand. ..
+PRADEESH Ok, are you Brazilian ?
Hi sister Gabi I am listening your teaching when I was getting time, that is very clear from beginning to end that is helpful to improve poor person in English language like me. Thank you very much and love you even I far from you certainly from your country.
This is so wonderful ...I understood all you say... Thank you for your video...
I think that one of the problems of the lack of of understanding is due to the strict form how learners use the foreign phonological system. Warm regards from Mexico! ;)
czcams.com/video/uJ-_cjeygoc/video.html
I can understand your accent my teacher"Gabby" ❤ and just some vocabolaries I can't know them
Really
Thank you, you give me energy to study English.
Gabby gabby you are the best teacher in the world 🤗🤗🤗
Some reflection: In particular, this used to be the case for me with a lot of British accents. There is the standard received pronunciation which is extremely easy to understand, but then there are the actual spoken dialects, the ways people Actually speak the language, and those are two completely different things.
Typically in British dialects, they have an extravagant use of guttural diftongs (especially those pronounced ay, ey and oy). Then add to that the fact that native speakers tend to use their own local slang, and especially so in urban British areas (at least from my experience). In fact, sometimes they change the meaning of already existing words, so that for instance, pissed becomes drunk instead of upset. An example of usage of these dialects would be the Monty Python sketches. That is in contrast to the received pronunciation that radio broadcasters use which emphasizes dental diftongs (those pronounced ow, ew, etc) and long vowels making phrases sound like they are sung. They try to avoid the use of slang, and stick to the proper definition of the words. For another famous movie example, this is how Emma Watson speaks in Harry Potter.
Thus, the way English uses dialects seems different from other languages. In English, people seem to learn to speak both their own version of received pronunciation as well as their local dialect, and then switch between them all the time. To contrast this with an opposite that is also a Germanic language, Swedish (my native language) also makes use of dialects. Here, however, people only learn what dialect should the be received pronunciation and how it should sound, but never learns to speak it themselves, and instead sticks to their own dialect at all times. This forces all of the dialects to stay similar for pragmatic communication reasons, and any new words to be introduced nationwide almost overnight. I believe that this is also why the three Scandinavian languages all have remained quite similar to each other, despite having been different languages for just as long as the Romance languages have.

hi.. i understand you clear and loud!.. like you well native voice!..
Thank you very much Gabby! You are the best!
I almost can understand all what you said. Your pronunciation of English is so great and sounds comfortable. Thank you!
5 common reasons why it's hard to understand Native English Speakers:
1. Pronunciation
2. They combine words together
3. They speak so fast that you feel words are cut off
4. They use a lot of phrasal verbs
5. They use a lot of idioms/slangs
I wish that everybody speaks like you lol. Good video thanks
Underrated Rock Bands I think that's true for many languages.
I learned Spanish and High School and Classroom Spanish is way slower than Real Spanish XD.
Underrated Rock Bands, I usually avoid slang in general. Many non-native speakers have trouble understanding me because I use very formal language.
Nutellakinesis : So most people talk like this:
Can you pass me the nutella please?
Others like this:
Oi! Let me have that nutella bruv!
You talk like this:
I would like you to initiate Nutellakinesis towards my direction my good sir!
Just joking XD (Love the Username)
Hi, I am a native eater of Nutella ( that is, italian). Maybe because for you non-native speakers=immigrants. If like me you are a native speaker of a romance language and you have learned english reading books and newspaper, it is just the opposite, formal english is easier ( and more latinate). Bigger bitch are phrasal verbs, idiomatic and slang you can learn, but PV are also difficult to remember.
your English is so pretty
Alicia Arantes yeah
'cause English is her native language.

Actually the hardest English I've ever encountered is the one used by Benedict Cumberbatch in bbc serie sherlock.
the only serie I can't watch without English subtitles.
really i don't find me hard to under by accent although he's kinda mumbly
LMAO! As an 8yo (or so) I grew up with neighbours from Glasgow. I learned a lot of the English language as their kids, about the same age, were my pals at the time. Once backdraw: I had a Scottish accent for a few years, and maybe I still do. ;)
+Kk Kk LOL
if you say so and like i'm english it's a common phrase would you prefer i say dude instead
You speak very clear I almost understand every single word you said. By the way you are so beautiful. Regards.

Hello! All right? My name is Alessandro. I'm brazilian. I am the founder of an English language study group working on WhatsApp.
It is a group that brings together only Brazilian students who are self-taught.
There are several volunteers from the USA, Canada, Cameroon and others who help us only once a week.
It's only 15 minutes a week.
Once a week the volunteer talks for 15 minutes with one of the group's students via WhatsApp (no video).
If you know any native speaker who is interested in helping us for just 15 minutes a week ...
I will be very happy. Thank you very much for your attention!
Sorry for the mistakes!
Because I am still a student.
I can understand native speakers of English perfectly personally.
but when it comes to movie and song I fail
