Welcome to today's live English lesson here
on the Speak English with Vanessa YouTube

I'm so glad that you're taking time out of
your day to improve your English.

Today, I hope that you will improve your listening
skills and especially listening to fast English

A lot of my students have told me that they
can understand me, but they can't understand

TV shows or movies or other native speaker
friends, because they talk really fast, so

today I'm going teach you a technique that
will help you to understand native English

speakers and also improve the skills step-by-step
every day.

Today, first we're going to talk about how
can you understand fast speakers, then we're

going to practice this technique together,
and then at the end, I'm going to help you

continue this style for the month of June
in the 30 Day English Listening Challenge.

We did this listening challenge in January
of 2018 with a big success.

A lot of you really enjoyed this challenge
every day, improving your listening skills,

so we're doing it again for the month of June.

At the end of this lesson, I'll give you some
more details, but if you would like to know

How can you understand native English speakers?

I know a lot of people think that if they
just listen a lot, if you watch Star Wars

five million times, eventually you'll understand
what they're saying.

But if you have ever tried to watch an English
TV show, if you've ever tried to watch Breaking

Bad, or Game of Thrones, or an older show
like Friends, and you understood hardly anything,

you probably felt a little bit overwhelmed
or frustrated because there's a lot of vocabulary,

a lot of expressions, and a lot of reductions
in pronunciation.

A lot of different things that you're not
used to hearing on a daily basis, so can you

really just watch these things millions of
times to understand?

Maybe you could, but it's not the most efficient
method.

If you hardly understand anything of what
you're listening to, you need to take a step

back, and use the technique that we're going
to talk about today.

And that technique is going to be analyzing
short real conversations.

When you take a real conversation, not one
of my videos ... My videos are teaching English.

But when you watch and listen to real English
conversations, you're going to hear the natural

reductions, the natural vocabulary, the natural
linking styles.

When you take short clips from conversations
like that, and analyze it, listen to it, again

and again and again, you'll start to realize,
"Oh, maybe I can understand this short segment.

I know which sounds are difficult for me,
which sounds are easy for me.

Maybe which ones are different from my native
language."

Analyzing those short clips, that is a key
to understanding long TV shows, understanding

your co-workers when they speak in a business
meeting, understanding when you call your

hotel in Florida when you're going to Disney
World.

You need to understand the receptionist on
the phone, but she's probably going to speak

This is a key to help you take your listening
skills to the next level.

Of course, you can listen to Star Wars five
million times.

But if you want to be more efficient and understand
multiple English speakers, this is the technique

If you're joining me live for this lesson,
I want to thank you.

Thank you from Taiwan, Korea, Paraguay, Brazil.

If you are watching the replay, no problem.

We're going to be practicing this technique
of analyzing short real conversations today.

Make sure that you have a pen, some paper,
and be prepared to be active during this lesson,

because it's good to passively listen, but
when you're active, that's when your brain

makes those connections that it needs to really
remember these things in the future when you're

Take your pen, take your pencil, we're going
to be analyzing a clip.

Let's go to the second section, and I'm going
to tell you what we're going to be listening

The first thing is, we're going to listen
to a fast clip.

This is a quick conversation that I had with
my mother-in-law.

All native English speakers are able to understand
her.

But maybe for you, she speaks in a different
way than you're used to, or she speaks faster.

She speaks like you're used to hearing in
TV shows.

But it's a little fast, so the second thing
we're going to do is we're going to listen

This slow version is actually going to be
the same exact conversation, but it's going

It's going to be slowed down to a kind of
unnatural speed.

You might think that it's not helpful to listen
to unnatural slow conversations, but when

you hear the fast version, and then you hear
the slow version, it is going to be key.

It is going to be the key to your success
because you're going to hear every single

word and when you listen to the fast version
again, you'll realize, "Oh, I do understand

The second thing we're going to do is listen
to that slow version, and then we're going

The third thing is to write exactly what you
hear.

I want you to use your pen, use your pencil.

You can write it on your phone, but there's
some studies that show when you physically

I recommend writing exactly what you hear,
and trying to imitate exactly that same speaking

When you hear some words that maybe you don't
know, just try to write it down, and we'll

listen to the fast version a couple of times,
and then we'll go back and listen to the slow

When you listen to the slow version, this
is your chance to pick up on any words that

you didn't understand in the fast version.

"Pick up on" is a great phrasal verb that
just means, "Oh, I can hear those.
