[oldrackthargor]

Did you just say that politicians should stay away from talking about politics? I'm afraid that's what most of them are doing!

[kashifanaz]

well Sir, I've one problem with me and it's that whenever I get myself preparing for something, I strive hard for that, put my all power to it but when it comes to speaking to the Audience, I feel myself speaking in riddles.

while on the other hand if smthing I know already that i don't  need to work on it much more, I perform v.well. problem is I can't know everything beforehand. I don't know how to get rid of my this deficiency. Plz Sir i'm looking for your guidance.

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

@kashifanaz Hi, I give some advice about being 'tongue-tied' in my 'Learning English TV - Lesson 4'. Please watch that and I hope the advice there will help to build your confidence in speaking. You are not alone so don't worry.

This is a great way to learn English. I've tried to speak correctly to my friends, they speak faster...sometimes I get nervous, I think that is my problem!!!

I'm peruvian and I love this channel on youtube, it's very helpful.

Thanks Steve!!

[gipsygirl7000]

OMG, the part about faking it soooooo funny!!! LOL! so funny and yet so true! Thank you for sharing you time and knowledge with the rest of the world :) I have a question, what is the difference between "with regard to" and "with regards to"?

[panikstaq]

[paula280491]

I understand everything what you're saying because your specch is very cleary but when I'm watching cnn or bbc it's more difficult. They speak very fast and use a lot of idioms. is it possible to speak like an American after 1 year or less of hard english learning ??? It's my dream :)

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hello Everybody! Thanks for all the comments! Keep up the good work!

[pauloabelha]

[HebaAlaaEldin]

First of all , thank u so much for these nice tips,let me comment on something ,u have mentioned in ur video right now ,yeah that's true that some people try to speak like native speakers ,so they are speaking too fast ,i saw this while i was taking course in accounting , it was in English,so some times i can't understand them ,but i can understand my own teacher,by the way i can't understand british people while they' re speaking on the contrary the American people, i dunno why??anyways thx

[jaykee2121990]

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

[leadlad]

@PrivateEnglishPortal you have a great way to teach language and i must say you are the one who created my interest in this test. thanks very much for all these efforts!

[linh7linh]

The way he immitated the way students try to immitate the voice of native speakers is so funny ^^

[zenati7]

i want to pass the toefl test, and i really want to learn from you, could you please give an idea about how much will it cost . thank you

[cangu]

[edpannewyork]

Steve, Thanks for the tips. I am meant to be taking the TOEFL ibt yesterday but I wasn't able to show up as I was asked to work instead. I am trying to find other date that I could possibly do it.

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

mmmm, if you want to use that phrasal verb, you should say "brush up on' , you left out 'on'

[ie9rws]

てかしってることやれっていうより知ってること増やせって言った­ほうがいいのでは？　I suppose you should say "Try to brush up your skill of English and improve what you know further" rather than you say try to do what you know.

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks and 'muchas gracias'

Imagine mixing a joke with TOEFL teaching. I try to do it everywhere I can. Life is so short!

See you and saludos!

Steve

[kengkaru]

Hi Steve,

Glad to know that you're one of the evaluator. No, which one of this would you score highest in speaking section.

i. Speaking softly yet faster than ever.

ii. Speaking loudly but slowly, or

iii. speaking softly and slowly?

By the way, assuming that those three was fluent in their speaking.

You are welcome!!!!

[Yasini1]

Nice

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Hi Guys!!!!

Thanks for all your feedback!!! It's been especially great since you are not only interested in the contest but also the video content which for me is a labour of love.

Doing the TOEFL videos is particularly difficult since the test is always changing and has moved its focus away from grammar to the way native speakers actually use English.

Regards,

Steve

[hoanghalinh]

Excellent!

[PrivateEnglishPortal]

Thanks for your feedback. The TOEFL series is aimed to help those online English learners preparing for the spoken part of the test.

Regards,

Steve Ford
