Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Do native speakers really speak fast? ?
hello I'm Julian Northrup from doing
English comm I've just finished being
interviewed by Clara Leopold from leo
listening she has a YouTube channel
where she makes videos about improving
your listening in English that interview
I think she said it's gonna be up in
November she did say she will send me a
link so I'm going to notify everybody
via the doing English daily newsletter
so if you want to check out that
interview that I did where I talked
about the science of chunking as well as
a whole range of things about using good
chunking skills to understand people in
English much much better as well as some
great exercises that you can use for
speeding up the process head over to
doing English comm add yourself to the
doing English daily newsletter and my
daily emails and I'll notify you when
it's up again sometime in December but
one of the things we talked about in
that interview was the the problem of
native speakers seeming very very fast
when they speak many people say native
speakers speak so fast and I can't
understand what they're saying
but often that actually isn't the case
it's not so much that they speak fast
it's that you are listening to the wrong
thing you are listening for individual
words and you are trying to understand
in terms of words and rules exactly how
you were taught in school but native
speakers don't speak like that we don't
speak in individual words we speak in
larger blocks of language in chunks of
language so if you take something like
the chunk at the end of the day we don't
say it like that we don't say it it's
not individual words we say it as a
single smooth unit the end of the day at
the end of the day native speakers do
not store process at the end of the day
as individual words it's one block of
language what happens is the sounds get
crushed down chunked down into that
single smooth unit so something like at
the end of the day was very very clear
you will never hear native
you could say because what we actually
do is we say things like yeah at the end
of the day I mean it was pretty rubbish
as far as films go just as an example
why you need to learn to listen in
chunks you need to learn to understand
in chunks if you want to understand how
people actually speak or to put it
another way to understand how people
speak learn how they speak make sense
learning chunks and you will be able to
hear in chunks if you want more help
