Improve your Vocabulary: Stop saying I KNOW!
This lesson is about more than just improving your vocabulary. Improve your communication skills and your conversations with others by replacing the simple “I know.” with other terms and expressions in English. In this video, I’ll explain why “I know” often has a negative effect on your conversation, and will then give you many different terms you can use instead. Take the first step to improving your relationships with friends, family, and co-workers by watching this class and then actually doing what I say in the video. Practice in real life and then let me know how it went in the comments.
Instead of saying “I know.”
You can always say;
This is true.
Indeed.
Of course.
Agreed.
I hear you.
Understood.
Exactly.
Absolutely.
What the hell is wrong with “I Know”? Are people so afraid of “KNOWING” what someone has said?
I see
I’m aware
Fa sho
True
I wish I had teachers like this in school. I would have learned so much more.
I agree with your statement.
Right? ??
Listening to him I realized Iwas robbed out of learning real English and Grammer

Roommate: it’s raining outside take the umbrella

Him: bro wtf
??

I would say: “Ok, will do… thanks”

Your English teaching is highly valuable even for the natives. Thank you.
I appreciate that this video is extremely informative and will help me with my communication skills. ??
James is a good and funny teacher I appreciate his humor while teaching.
Justice French leave you door-to-door salesman.
Exactly
@BlazeXI What’s the meaning of that?
This is how a real teacher should be looking like . A teacher without a sense of humour can’t be having brillant learners.
Homework:
I am appreciative of the information
I mixed up which drink went to whom.
Comment:
Excellent video. This randomly popped up, and I am glad it did. This is perfect information, a lot of knowledge given here. I recognize the information in this video, from my perspective it was awesome, I appreciate the research you put into this, I understand it now and I now see what I can do different in conversation and dealing with people.
Thanks so much! New subscriber.
For those of you Native English speakers adding your unsolicited input or corrections, remember that this is a class for beginners. He has to be straightforward. At this level, nuances only help further confuse students.
Over my years of learning Polish I’ve unfortunately caught one of their most commonly used phrases, “no wiem”, which made me start saying it in all of languages that I can speak. I greatly appreciate that I found your video because I really hate the phrase, “I know”, so I’m reteaching myself to avoid using this. Like you said, It makes me feel like people are not actually considering my message and they only care about what they want to tell me, so conversations feel one-sided.
This so amazing I appreciate you for the super work ? so interesting and easy to learn English
Thank you so much Sir! This is really helpful!
Thank you for your great efforts ?
Thanks for this man. I hope you are still excited about doing this for a very long time. You are a huge blessing !
I taught my lil cousin this, he would always say “I know” and slowly but surely he stopped and now speaks very good English, now his conversations last longer
Great job! Thank you! Would you mind to give a lesson about expressing worries?
I think you made me figure how to talk to my partner properly now. I use I know quite often, I now recognise and understand. ? Thank you!
This is a good teacher i appreciate…his ways of teaching….
I didn’t even realize I wanted to learn my own native language even more, hated it in hs but now in my mid twenties, these lessons are extremely entertaining and interesting.
Jesus loves you and wants to begin a relationship with you irrespective of your past. John 3:16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. All you need do is say. Lord Jesus please forgive me where i have sinned against you in my thoughts actions words and deeds. Please cleanse me and wash me with your precious blood and come into my life in Jesus Name. Amen.Hurray you are now a child of God. Just as a little baby needs milk to grow so do you need the word of God.God bless you as you start your new walk with Jesus. Ask the holyspirit to led you to a church where you can be fed continuously with the word of God.
@Carlos Flores its not so much that we hated school, I think we hated the lessons being taught. I enjoyed friends and certain classes/teachers.
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray my soul is mine to keep, and never step outside this bed, let’s in all the evil, now back from the dead. ARE U SCARED? HES HERE.
Yep, when forced to learn something it ain’t fun. Just like when you’re forced to read a book, you won’t enjoy it.
I remember being forced to read Fahrenheit 451, I didn’t like it and just didn’t finish that project, stopped reading about a quarter in, but next grade I tried it out cuz I had nothing to do, and I ended up liking and enjoying the book
This is really helpful. Thank you so much James.
I’m a native English speaker who has lived his whole life in the USA, and this video is still full of good information. If you’re learning English, you’re in the right place.
Thank you for the comment Sam, i’m a Brazilian student , and I am very happy , cause I have learned many things here on the Channel.
@MeduMadward or a New Zealander.
@George Jansen Maybe you didn’t understand. The person said that this video is good for native speakers and english learners… Why are you aggressively agreeing with them?
So lots of misunderstanding concerning my comment. I have heard Americans say that many times. So nope, not really a ” you thing” I was not speaking about people from England regarding the English language. Lastly yes, I do know they could be from many English speaking places. Again I was specifically Speaking about Americans. Was I cutting down the whole American culture? No, I was making a simple observation.
