Wondering why TED talks are easier to understand than two native speakers chatting?
I'll explain why by comparing the way Brené Brown speaks in her TED talk on shame compared to an interview with Marie Forleo.
You'll learn what the differences are and why listening to spontaneous, native speech in English can be so tough.

Last week I started my series on watching the film "Never let me go" without the subtitles – that's our ultimate goal. We talked about feeling good about the film, even if you have to watch it initially with subtitles.
It's not your fault because I likened watching a film to being kicked out of a helicopter in the middle of nowhere and trying to find your way back to civilisation.
Movie dialogue is tough and very different to watching a TV series, where you know each week what's going to happen, you're familiar with the characters and the way they speak etc. A film is very different to that. It's ok for that to be hard because there are ways to fix it.
Today we're going to talk in a bit more detail about concrete ways to fix the problem.
I'd like to start off by inviting you to my subtitle freedom club on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/subti...
That's where we're having discussions about the book and film, book and film combinations in general, and how to enjoy films more without the subtitles – by reading books and plays before you watch the film.
