Today I'm answering a very common question, which I'm asked by all of you.

And that is how fast the native English speakers actually speak.

It's a question which can't really be answered.

Truthfully, it can't be answered.

There's no fact there's no riel, tempo or speed the English speakers actually use on.

It can depend on a lot of different situations.

So right now on in all of my videos, I talk to you relatively slowly.

There's a reason for this, and it's because I want you to understand me on.

I want you to understand my lessons.

But when you go out there and you actually practice speaking with riel people, Andi, for example, if you're in a lesson with me, I will use a little bit mawr off a faster natural pace.

Like I'm in a conversation.

Everyone has their own natural speed of talking on.

It can change midway halfway through while you're speaking, so I could be telling you a story on it could be very serious.

It could be, let's say about someone who died or about politics.

Something serious.

Andi, I would talk quite slowly to emphasize my points to make them sound serious.

But when I want to express and show some or excitement in my story on when something exciting is happening and something that I want to add, more effect, too on make you more excited about the story I'm telling you, I'll speed up.

I'll start talking faster because I want you to enjoy the story.

I'm telling you.

So that's the first thing it could depend on what you're talking about.

Another reason why speed can vary in the English language is because everybody has different accents.

For example, in England you could be in the South and have a completely different accent to somebody who lives in the north.

On the same goes for kind of the central areas, too, so accents vary on accents have different tempos.

Different speeds on Ben.

If you crossed over to America, that's a completely different story, too.

So it depends what country and what area of the country on, what speed they talk on.

A lot of you say that you don't understand English speakers because they talk so fast, and I don't think this is actually true.

I think the true reason why you dont understand native speakers when they're talking to you and you're trying to listen is because you haven't practiced listening enough.

It's repetition.

The more you repeat it, the more you understand.

It's just like learning to ride a bike.

You're on a bicycle and you keep falling off in the beginning.

But once you've practiced moving the pedals and staying stable on the bike, practice is the reason why you can now ride the bike straight without falling off on.

There still will be some wobbly moments where you think you might fall off, but you keep practicing to stay on the bike on.

It's the same with English.

You have to keep practicing and keep saying things, listening to things, and it becomes a second nature that you could just do naturally.

Yeah, with speed.

It's different all the time.

We talk at different speeds in different situations.

We talk a different speeds with different accents.

I think a lot of people use speed as an excuse for why they can understand English speakers on if you think it is the speed at which they talk than all you have to do is tell them to slow down.

Just say I'm sorry.

English is not my first language.

Can you please slow down and repeat what you just said?

We're all nice people.

We're all human beings.

We're not going to say no.

We will want you to understand what we're trying to say.

So it's also about being brave on not being afraid to kind of tell people that you can't understand them and you need to slow down.

Or you can also say, Can you speak more clearly?

Please.

If their accent is quite confusing, the answer to the question is, I don't know.

I don't know the speed that English speakers talk because there isn't one.

It changes from person to person.

So bear that in mind.

The next time you're listening to something or you're listening to someone or you're watching TV, it's different everywhere, in different situations.
