Can you understand fast English conversations?

Do you know if your listening skills are beginner, intermediate, or advanced?

Have you ever turned on an English TV show and after a few minutes,

you thought, wait, what are they saying?

They speak so quickly, words blend together,

and suddenly you're feeling completely lost.

Well, never fear.

I am here to help you.

Today, we are going to test your listening skills with some real English speakers.

And I will show you exactly how you can understand fast English conversations easier.

Let's do it.

Hi, I'm Vanessa from SpeakEnglishWithVanessa.com.

And for over the past 10 years,

I have been teaching real life English here on my YouTube channel now to more than 7 million of you.

I can't believe it.

Thank you for learning English with me.

And like always, I have created a free PDF worksheet that includes everything you're going to learn today,

plus a special bonus.

Inside this free worksheet, you will have access to a bonus 15 minutes of today's real life conversation

so that you can continue to test your listening skills.

See if you can actually understand fast English conversations.

How can you get this free worksheet plus bonus listening conversation?

All you need to do is click on the link in the description,

enter your name and email address,

and voila, just like that,

it will land in your email inbox.

This is my gift to you.

So here's how today's lesson is going to work.

We are going to use my proven conversation breakdown method.

Number one, you will listen to a short clip from a real life conversation.

Number two, after the clip,

I will ask you a question to see if you understood what was said in that conversation.

And number three, I will teach you an important concept

that was used in that conversation clip so that you can understand fast conversations better.

Just a little note, if you have subtitles turned on,

turn them off right now.

I don't want you to use subtitles right this moment, not yet.

I want you to really test your listening skills.

You can do it.

All right, let's dive in.

You're about to meet my friend,

Sarah, who is a massage therapist as her job.

She is talking about a massage technique.

So listen carefully.

Are you ready?

Three, two, one.

Massaging with a stone is wonderful.

Usually they're a little bit bigger and made of basalt.

Okay.

That gray kind of color.

B-A-S-A-L-T, basalt.

Okay.

And those rocks are found in Northern California or Hawaii.

And they hold the heat beautifully,

so you can heat the rocks in water.

And so you use them as a tool up and down the back and arms and legs to

to massage and warm up the muscle.

So you're using them as a tool.

And it feels amazing to be massaged with warm rocks,

especially in cold weather.

Great work listening.

Did you catch all that?

Now I have a challenge question for you.

What phrase did she use in this sentence?

They, basalt rocks, beautifully.

I'll give you three seconds.

They hold the heat beautifully.

Here she's using the word hold to talk about carrying something or containing something.

The rocks are able to maintain their heat for a long time,

which is great for massage.

And here, this fixed phrase we can use in a couple other sentences as well.

You might say, this cup doesn't hold the heat for my coffee.

It gets cold too easily.

So maybe you want to choose something different.

Or you could say this,

if you put a lid on the pot,

it will easily hold the heat after cooking.

Here we're using this full fixed phrase, hold the heat.

Let me give you a quick example from my personal life.

The first year that I was married,

we lived in a house that did not hold the heat.

In fact, there were huge icicles that grew inside the window inside our house in the winter.

That house did not hold the heat.

All right.

Now that you have listened to the clip,

you have answered a challenge question about the clip,

and we have talked a bit about the phrase, hold the heat.

Now it's time to review the clip.

We are going to watch it one time with subtitles and one time without subtitles.

I think that final time,

you're going to understand it wonderfully.

Are you ready?

Open your listening ears.

Let's go.

Massaging with a stone is wonderful.

Usually they're a little bit bigger and made of basalt.

Okay.

That gray kind of color?

B-A-S-A-L-T, basalt.

100

Okay.

101

And those rocks are found in Northern California or Hawaii

102

and they hold the heat beautifully so you can heat the rocks in water.

103

Massaging with a stone is wonderful.

104

Usually they're a little bit bigger and made of basalt.

105

Okay that gray kind of color?

106

B-A-S-A-L-T.

107

Basalt.

108

Okay.

109

And those rocks are found in Northern California or Hawaii and they hold the heat beautifully.

110

So you can heat the rocks in water.

111

Well, great work.

112

How did you do?

113

This was our beginner English conversation.

114

Next, we're going to take a look at an intermediate conversation.

115

But before we do, I want to tell you something.

116

If you enjoy this type of real English conversation lesson,

117

I want to invite you to join me in the Fearless Fluency Club,

118

which is just $5 for the first month if you join right now.

119

You'll practice understanding fast real English speakers,

120

just like Sarah and others you're about to see,

121

including over 45 other speakers.

122

And I will help you to break down those real life conversations in detail,

123

just like we're doing today with the conversation breakdown method.

124

I'll tell you a little bit more about that later,

125

but if you'd like to join me now,

126

you can click on the link in the description and I would love to be your teacher.

127

All right.

128

Are you ready to level up to the intermediate conversation?

129

You're about to meet James who knows a lot about martial arts.

130

I want you to listen to this conversation.

131

I will ask you a conversation question,

132

and then we'll break down some important details.

133

Are you ready?

134

Three, two, one.

135

completely different styles.

136

Sure, some people might think martial arts are similar,

137

but they're probably a lot different.

138

Right, and a lot of people think that Kung Fu is karate.

139

Everybody, oh, you know karate?

140

No, actually this is like Muay Thai, you know.

141

So different than that.

142

Right, there's always that karate thing.

143

Like when they came out with the new karate kid.

144

Oh, that's what everyone's familiar with.

145

That wasn't even karate that he learned,

146

that was Kung Fu that he was learning.

147

And experts know that.

148

They can pick that out.

149

Exactly. So...

150

Great job listening to this intermediate conversation clip with James.

151

Now I have a challenge question for you.

152

How did James pronounce this word?

153

Did he say karate?

154

Did he say karate?

155

Or did he say karate?

156

I want you to think about this for just a minute.

157

James said karate, karate.

158

That final T changed to a D sound.

159

This is exceedingly typical in American English.

160

When there is a T surrounded by vowel sounds,

161

it's going to change into a D sound, karate.

162

Let me give you a bunch of other examples so

163

that you can use this yourself and you can understand this in fast conversations.

164

I'll say each sentence one time and I want you to repeat it the second time with me.

165

Are you ready?

166

There's a little bottle of orange juice sitting on the counter.

167

All right, one more time.

168

There's a little bottle of orange juice sitting on the counter.

169

All right, one more sentence.

170

Listen to this sentence one time and then we'll practice it together.

171

Later, we'll buy enough water when we get to the city.

172

We have three words here.

173

Later, water, city.

174

All three of those words have that T in the middle,

175

change to a D.

176

This is a typical sound in American English.

177

And once you recognize that this is used a lot,

178

you'll be able to hear it when you're listening to fast English conversations.

179

And I bet you'll be able to use it yourself too.

180

So, let's practice our pronunciation.

181

I want you to say this sentence out loud with me right now.

182

Are you ready?

183

Later, we'll buy enough water when we get to the city.

184

Great work.

185

All right.

186

Now that you have listened to the clip,

187

you have answered a challenge question about the clip and we have talked a bit about the phrase.

188

Now it's time to review the clip.

189

Are you ready?

190

Open your listening ears.

191

Let's go.

192

Completely different styles.

193

Sure, some people might think martial arts are similar,

194

but there probably a lot of people think

195

that kung fu is karate everybody oh you know karate

196

and no actually this is like muay thai you know but

197

so different there's always right there's always that karate thing completely different styles sure some people might think martial arts

198

right but they're probably right and a lot of people think that kung fu is karate everybody oh Oh,

199

you know karate?

200

And no, actually this is like Muay Thai,

201

but- So different than that.

202

Right.

203

There's always that karate thing.

204

If you got that challenge pronunciation question correct,

205

congratulations, you have an intermediate listening level,

206

but are you ready to take it to the next level?

207

Our final level, advanced listening skills,

208

you're about to meet Bree,

209

who has a specific eating style that she follows.

210

She is vegan.

211

You're going to hear us talk about this briefly during our conversation.

212

I want you to listen carefully and then we'll talk about it together.

213

Let's listen in three, two, one.

214

Do you find that most of your friends are also vegans?

215

Are you just attracted to people who are also vegans?

216

I do have, I would say it's about 50-50,

217

but most of my friends aren't even vegan.

218

A lot of them are just vegetarian.

219

And that just happened by circumstance with my job.

220

Everybody that works at the coffee place,

221

all of us are vegetarian or vegan.

222

And it just happened.

223

I mean, I wasn't looking for it.

224

I got this job and they were,

225

but no, most of the people in my close circle,

226

like Heather, Liz, you guys,

227

none of you guys are even vegetarian.

228

Great job listening to this advanced conversation clip.

229

Here is my challenge question for you.

230

I asked Brie, are most of your friends vegan?

231

And she said this, which phrase did she use in her sentence?

232

I would say it's about,

233

but most of my friends aren't even vegan.

234

I want you to think about it.

235

She said, I would say it's about 50,

236

50, but most of my friends aren't even vegan.

237

So here she's talking about 50% of her friends are vegan or vegetarian of some sort,

238

but 50% are not at all.

239

Not only is this phrase 50-50 an excellent vocabulary phrase,

240

but it uses a pronunciation concept that we just talked about.

241

Do you remember that T changing to a D?

242

Fifty.

243

Fifty.

244

Do you hear that D at the end?

245

Oftentimes when we have TY,

246

it's going to sound like D,

247

just like the word 50 or party.

248

Fifty.

249

Let me give you a little personal example using this phrase 50-50,

250

sometimes my friends ask me,

251

Vanessa, do more men or women watch your YouTube channel?

252

And do you know what I tell them?

253

Well, actually it's about 50-50.

254

This means it's an even split.

255

There are almost exactly the same amount of men and women who learn English with me,

256

which I think is pretty cool.

257

So I could say it's about 50-50.

258

There are an equal number of men and women.

259

But to challenge you a little bit more,

260

let's take a look at a couple other numbers that use this D sound at the end.

261

Let's take a look at this sentence.

262

I'm going to invite 30 people to the dinner.

263

30. Can you say that with me?

264

30. Let's say the full sentence.

265

I'm going to invite 30 people to the dinner.

266

What about this sentence?

267

Last week, I went to a party that had 80 people.

268

Here we have two words,

269

party, which I briefly mentioned before, and 80.

270

Both of these words, 30 from before and 80 in this sentence,

271

plus 50, all end in that dy sound.

272

Let's try to this sentence together.

273

I want you to use your voice, speak out loud.

274

It's great to listen to me,

275

but it's more important that you speak and you hear your voice.

276

So try to say this sentence with me.

277

Last week I went to a party that had 80 people.

278

Great work.

279

All right.

280

Now that you have listened to the clip,

281

you have answered a challenge question about the clip and we have talked a bit about the phrase.

282

Now it's time to review the clip.

283

Are you ready?

284

Open your listening ears.

285

Let's go.

286

Do you find that most of your friends are also vegans?

287

Are you just attracted to people who are also vegans?

288

I would say it's about 50-50,

289

but most of my friends aren't even vegan.

290

A lot of them are just vegetarian.

291

And that just happened by circumstance with my job.

292

Do you find that most of your friends are also vegans?

293

Are you like just attracted to people who are also vegans?

294

I do have, I would say it's about 50-50,

295

but most of my friends aren't even vegan.

296

A lot of them are just vegetarian.

297

And that just happened by circumstance with my job.

298

If you got this vocabulary and pronunciation question correct from the conversation with Bri, congratulations.

299

You have an advanced English listening level.

300

And if you enjoyed today's lesson,

301

I want to invite you to join me and thousands of other motivated English learners in the Fearless Fluency Club.

302

My student Ildiko from Hungary said, this course is fantastic.

303

I like the most that you teach us real English.

304

My student Yuko from Japan said,

305

I think there is no other course which deals with the real conversations of ordinary people.

306

And my student Matija said,

307

the Fearless Fluency Club is just the best thing I have ever seen.

308

The good part is that you teach us real English,

309

which makes you the best English teacher ever.

310

Oh, thank you for your kind words.

311

So the Fearless Fluency Club has worked for Ildiko,

312

Yuko and Matija, but can it work for you?

317

Let's watch.

318

I hope very happy to learn English with you and with other wonderful kind,

319

supportive people from this group.

320

And yes, I wanted to introduce myself.

321

My name is Snezhana and I'm from Belarus. And

322

I joined this group last year on the 1st of October

323

and at the end of October I started participating in Zoom meetings

324

that are organized by Phoi and Kaori and I really liked those meetings

325

because it is such a nice opportunity to talk to people

326

and for the first time it took guts to step out of my comfort zone

327

and start to participate in meetings like this

328

and it was a completely new experience for me to talk to people from different countries

329

and yes I really appreciate this opportunity that you provide for us.

330

I think that for a long time I was studying English in a passive way because I was just memorizing some words,

331

vocabulary, grammar rules, but I didn't practice it so much.

332

But now I decided to try to speak more and to improve my speaking skills.

Phương Pháp Shadowing Là Gì?

Shadowing là kỹ thuật học ngôn ngữ có cơ sở khoa học, ban đầu được phát triển cho chương trình đào tạo phiên dịch viên chuyên nghiệp và được phổ biến rộng rãi bởi nhà đa ngôn ngữ học Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Nguyên lý cốt lõi đơn giản nhưng cực kỳ hiệu quả: bạn nghe tiếng Anh của người bản xứ và lặp lại to ngay lập tức — như một "cái bóng" (shadow) đuổi theo người nói với độ trễ chỉ 1–2 giây. Khác với luyện ngữ pháp hay học từ vựng bị động, Shadowing buộc não bộ và cơ miệng phải đồng thời xử lý và tái tạo ngôn ngữ thực tế. Các nghiên cứu khoa học xác nhận phương pháp này cải thiện đáng kể phát âm, ngữ điệu, nhịp điệu, nối âm, kỹ năng nghe và độ lưu loát khi nói — đặc biệt hiệu quả cho người luyện IELTS Speaking và muốn giao tiếp tiếng Anh tự nhiên như người bản ngữ.
