Intro: Welcome to the English Tonight Podcast where you can learn English online in your own time, even at 2 a.m. in your pajamas. Janet: Well, hello there. Welcome back to the English Tonight Podcast. My name is Janet and I am the host of this show. This is episode #5. I am delighted that you are here and listening today. To find a free written transcript of this podcast, please go to www.speakenglishtonight.com. Now let’s get this show a moving. Today’s show is centered around the following question “Why is it so hard to understand native English speakers?” When you are learning English, you have a lot to do. You have to think about what you are hearing, you have to process and try to put meaning to the words that you are hearing people say and if you do not know what you hear then you have to try to understand by the other words includes, the contextual clues of what you hear. Contextual clues mean that the…you have to use other words or indicators to help you understand. So, some examples of contextual clues would be listening to parts of the words or other uh parts of the sentence that you do understand and also seeing and looking at the person um look at uh what the person is looking at, what their eyes are pointing at or how their facial expression is and that also helps you to understand what they are trying to say. So, let’s look at five reasons “Why it is hard to understand native English speakers?” 1. We speak fast. When we get excited or emotional or are in a hurry or for any number of reasons, native English speakers speak fast and we don’t always think about our listener and the people that are listening and we just speak very quickly. 2. We interrupt each other. It is common for people to interrupt each other in the natural conversation or to adding comments or your opinions and thoughts and it’s kind of hard of follow if you don’t understand everything. So, we interrupt each other and that’s not always so easy for English language learners to understand. 3. We make mistakes and don’t speak perfectly. So, I make mistakes and all native English speakers make mistakes. A lot of times, we don’t even know we make mistakes; we just keep on talking because after all it is our native language and we are not so conscious to making mistakes. 4. We have interjections and natural pauses. So, we use words like “so” “umm” “ah” “hmm” and there are a lot of other interjections that native speakers use when they are speaking and it’s hard to understand if you are just learning the language. 5. We connect words together. When native English speakers are speaking quickly, we connect words together and do not always pronounce every single sound and syllable that we would if we were speaking um slowly or if we are speaking in a more formal setting or an educate…an educational setting. So, we do speak very quickly when we are um speaking casually to one another and not in a formal setting. Casual English is difficult to understand. I will say that again, “It is difficult, casual English is difficult to understand.” It is definitely not what they taught you in English class. So, you should probably do a little self-evaluation right now and think to yourself do you speak textbook English or do you speak real English? Now, there is nothing wrong with speaking textbook English. It is what most people learn when they are starting to learn a new language. It is the common English that is taught in classrooms, “the hello, how are you, very fine, thanks and you?” That is textbook English and it’s not that the native speaker wouldn’t understand you when you use textbook English, um but is just not common, it’s not uh common for native speakers to speak in that way. It doesn’t sound natural. So, to speak English, real life English, you need to hear English in natural situations and this is hard for a lot of people because you do not live in a place where there are a lot of native English speakers or may be any English speaker for that matter. So, how can you learn real English if you have no one to practice with? That’s a good question. Well, technology and media is something that can help you improve your English without getting on an airplane. Most people have access to TV or um a computer, the internet, most of the time now or they…if they don’t have access at home, they can go to a public place like a cyber café or um a library or their school or university or workplace to use it. So, you can find real live English in movies, on TV shows, watching cartoons. It’s also helpful if you are watching shows on television or movies that you put on subtitles in English, so the words that the people are saying is written across the bottom of the screen. It’s also um it’s helpful to use subtitles when you don’t understand and they are speaking too fast or sometimes you kind understand, but when you see it written, it helps clarify what they are seeing in your head. You could also watch the news be it on television or online. Podcasts are awesome. There’s tons of podcasts and you don’t have to just listen to English language learning podcasts, think about something that you are interested in or something um maybe you are an engineer or a teacher or a businesswoman or man, you could find different podcasts about subjects that you are interested in. So, you don’t have to exclusively listen to English language learning podcasts because they are not all that exciting all the time. I know the English Tonight podcast is exciting, but some of the others are kind of boring. So, you could find other podcasts that are of interest to you. You could just search in iTunes podcast and then whatever words you are interest in. So, podcasts about surfing and I am sure something will come up. You can also try to find people to speak English within your town, maybe native speakers or just other people that are interested in speaking English with you um either teachers or at religious places, your church, synagogue, mosque um tourist areas, large companies often have foreign employees, bars, the beach, the gym. Think of places where you might find someone who speaks English and they would like to practice with you. The more you practice English, the more you will understand and the more you will get um you will start to internalize English and it will start to come to you naturally. This means that you wouldn’t be translating every single word or phrase. It will just start to come out of your mouth and you will be able to understand it quicker. It will become more natural and not something that you have to work so much or so harder to understand. So, next I will go over four common phrases that native speakers connect together. So, when native speakers are talking very quickly or in an informal environment, we tend to connect words together or speak very quickly. So, one word that we connect together, we say “gonna, gonna.” Gonna means “going to.” Now, please when you are writing, don’t use…write gonna, write it’s going to, it’s-it’s not a real word “gonna,” but when we are speaking, native speakers say uh I gonna go to the store, I’m gonna go take a bath, I’m gonna go home. So, we are not going to…we don’t usually say “I’m going to go to the store.” We just quickly say, “I’m gonna go to the store.” The second one is “hafta.” Hafta means “have to.” So, I hafta do my homework. I hafta go; see you later. I hafta get going. So, we usually just put have and to together and hafta comes out when we are speaking quickly. 3. Wanna. Wanna is “want to.” So, I wanna see that movie. I wanna eat chicken for dinner. I wanna go shopping. 4. Is got to, oops excuse me, gotta. Gotta is short for “I have got to.” Gotta is short for “I have got to.” So, I’ve gotta to get going. I gotta get back to school and it’s a common one that many native English speakers use. So, if you are able to remember these, gonna, hafta, wanna, gotta, if you can remember these, you will be able to understand more native English speakers um and you will be able to increase your speaking fluency when you are talking in English. So, now I am excited to tell you about a new course that we are offering in January, it’s the 30-day English Challenge Course. It’s for people that want to improve their English and want to make English a part of their everyday life.
