Dude, I literally couldn't write a sentence of English before this video. But now I can write like Shakespeare or an OG street gangstah at a moments notice. Do you feel me brotah? It's the dynamism. It's like HDR but for your talkin. I be talking with the gals too and they love when I talk real. Solved my social anxiety too.
That joke was so subtle and meta it made me smile. He said "You don't have to prostitute down the meaning of words with the basic definition that they have", hinting at the fact that the only meaning most of us know from the word "prostitute" is "a sex worker", while the word has another meaning as well, that most peope ignore.
One trick to help that which people often overlook (me too) is the simple deep breathe. Nervousness makes shallow breathe and lower brain function. Consciously taking that deep breathe before talking to them has helped me alot, and so easy.
This video is a proof that the reason for our short attention span is not just our dopamine hungry minds but the value that is missing from the content creators. I didn’t wander for a moment watching this video.
There is a vast source of wonderful content creators. You simply need to filter out the low-value content from your life. UA-camrs such as Joseph Rodrigues, Rich Roll, and Rian Doris possessed high-quality content.
Most creators are regurgitating content from each other, I feel sick in my stomach every time I give a chance for a content creator on a field/topic that I'm well-versed, and it always turns out to be the same garbage being repeated over and over again. So does what ChatGPT will give you at first, if you don't prime it with the correct questions. It's a colossal difference between great creators and the average out there. They got a pretty shot, a nice thumbnail, they speak well, but their content is shit, they don't think deep enough. That's why recently I've been listening more to long-form content such as podcasts, just like he mentions.
This comment section feels like a party where everyone holds a fancy drink and pretends to enjoy the small talk :D I noticed this tendency that people copy the style of the speakers of the videos online. On some business content everybody talks and evaluates business ideas like they are some kind of business sharks and have millions to invest :D And under funny videos everybody copies the slang. Here - everybody is suddenly sophisticated speakers and eloquent banterers :D People love to belong. Don't get me wrong - I do it too, but it's fun to reflect on these things ;D
I think it has to do with different audiences for these different videos, actually. And it's now making it seem like people are copying the style of the speaker of the video. But no, they aren't copying the style of the speaker, just different audiences resonating differently.
Has to do with most people being very whimsical and no absolute purpose in life , just blowing in the wind like a feather with no control so they behave like chameleons all the time because they get subdued by the situation.
Over the years, I have learnt through peer-to-peer communication that the way we articulate ourselves has a profound impact on the way others perceive us. I had made an effort to consciously speak using positive sentences. For example, if I don't appreciate someone doing something, instead of instructing them to not do that particular activity, I would direct them to do what I want. These small changes shifted my view and lead me to be positive. I find Mohammad Ali to be very charming. He speaks eloquently with playfulness. Thank you for helping me understand what I could work on to better myself.
Occasionally when I have the patience: I create an environment for people to make to make the same mistake repeatedly until they find the solution without my assistance
As an academic, every day is filled with articulate speakers. Two main observations include: 1. Some just aren’t articulate speakers, and that’s okay. 2. What we actually value in discourse are colleagues that can communicate the most information in the simplest way, i.e., using the simplest language.
I appreciate that too because I will learn hearing simple language if someone is using big words I don’t hear often I’ll start to be distracted by them because I’ll start thinking about their meaning instead of what the speaker is saying.
Agree! I work in communications / corporate affairs, and previously in the British press. Most of my time is spent advising outstandingly smart people who lack the skills to effectively express themselves - often they're allergic to using simple language. To me, your "2." is the definition of articulate. It means being agile with your choice of words, to convey complex concepts in a way that's precise but that your audience will understand.
@@rebecca_stone 100% agree with you. During my PhD I had a mentor who encouraged me to practice the Feynman Technique, which helps with concept comprehension (and consequently, knowledge transfer during teaching or presentations). The whole point of the technique is based off the Einstein quote: “If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.” As years passed in academia I began to realize every academic is insecure and fears their expertise being attacked by someone more knowledgable. Some try to bypass this by using overly complicated vocabulary and writing styles.
@Joeyykins "...the fear of being attacked by someone more knowledgeable." Is there a word or phenomenon for this??!! What is it?? I resonate with this so strongly!
“The quality of your speech is a product of your language environments. The books you read, videos you watch, music you listen to etch language patterns in your mind that [subconsciously] are imitated in your speech.” I felt that.
that' i just if you actually try to learn from them. I've been a reader for years now, I watch many speakers, Ted talks, and my speech is nothing short of confusing, since I have trouble expressing any idea crossing my mind. So the quote makes sense, but it's not really how it works unless you consciously try to imitate the speakers you listen to or the authors you read to. Most people don't know how to communicate effectively anyway, that's enough proof that subconsciusly is not the way to improve the speech.
He does, which is why I can't take his conclusions too seriously. He sounds like someone trying to impress you, using words that he shows that he doesn't know the definition of and counting on you not to know better. Used correctly, less common words and phrases are wonderful tools for more completely and artfully expressing your thoughts and sentiments; used incorrectly, they are wonderful for making us look like tools.
@@AwesomeAdamTwelvethis guy said he was prostituting a word to the bottom of the barrel or something along those lines. Also seemed very rehearsed I agree with your take completely.
@@AwesomeAdamTwelveWhile I agree with your response, I think it's inevitable that one goes through a phase like this. It's his clear conscious effort to reach for something fresh and interesting that demonstrates the principle so well. Over time we get better at it, but only by first trying and sometimes sounding overwrought.
The research based video provides a great insight to be more articulate. The effective point i found here is. 1. Choose the words consciously 2. Read, Listen and read aloud the peotery. In my personal experience tracing this topic too closely is. The best way to be more articulate in your thinking and speaking is. Read thoroughly Listen to articulate speakers Choose words consciously and re arrange them that how it will be more fluent and smooth. The most important one is Writing, because writing is the only way which allows you to articulate your thinking process, in result it will automatically articulate your spoken words. Writing helps you convert the sub conscious mind vocabulary into the active one which we use in forming sentences as already explained in the video.
Wow. The amount of information you're giving away simply because you want to help people be more articulate is amazing. Thank you Joseph for being so open about sharing your discoveries to help other people transform their vocabulary and improve their confidence. You're the man

@@rosante9016if you have a strong accent when speaking English, you’ll still be impressive when you use these phrases because people will know they’re more advanced phrases (for you)
@@rosante9016 They're not quite as bad as he makes them out to be. They work as a short cut, but if you're trying to be eloquent, you want the listener to enjoy the journey so shortcuts need to be strategic. His example with the cardboard box was good, it was unusual which makes you think about it and results in emphasizing the point versus using an idiom like "muscle memory" (although it would be literally true in this case, but literally is also a bit of a dead phrase now).
Silence is a powerful tool to replace dead phrases and cold starts. Just be quiet and think before saying anything. It will create attention. Also, making short numbered lists as an answer. This impresses people even if you remember a last point you want to add. It also invites them to add points further, making it an engaging invitation to think together. But never choose a high number, because if you don’t get to it, it will backlash as pretentious. If can’t do it confidently right away, announce to your audience you will proceed by listing points as answers. This will give them certainty you are thinking out loud and on the spot, which is inviting, impressive and intellectually honest. It radiates confidence. ALWAYS say the numbers out loud, they organize your speech and force you not to digress. Example: “What do you think about education?” “I think we should approach your question in two ways: 1. Education as an experience, and 2. Education as a system” Now you are free to digress, because you framed the answer in an interesting way. If you digress too much on number 1, coming back to number 2 will also strike people, as tour memory will look sharp and you will be perceived as someone who connect ideas.
@@simp4anything2dThanks! I forgot to add that, if you forget your second point, once you notice you forgot, be honest and say "Sorry, I digressed too much, what was my second point again?". If your audience remembers, you know you got them completely focused on you even after digressing, meaning you will be able to continue with their focus on number 2. If they don't remember, just end your point with a "never mind". It's not worth insisting on a topic people are not interested. But don't talk too much, people get tired of informal lectures pretty quickly.
In small settings, silence for many is often also an opportunity to interrupt and interject one's own opinion and start a different, self-aggrandizing trajectory of thought before they've heard you out. That's become very American. Maybe a video on the options for eloquently shushing interjectors before they've derailed your thinking process. Resistance in the listener is as much an obstacle as learning to speak clearly. I think of any dialogue (or monologue) as a kind of "marketing funnel" of the listener's attention, where every sentence you utter a decision is being made to continue listening. It's essentially your model of the world vs their model of the world.
True. One way to avoid that is to try to condition your listener to behave the way you want. In the case you mentioned, if your silence is constant, the constant interruption will become very noticeable to everyone listening once you highlight it: "just think with me for a moment", "as I was saying" or even a polite hand gesture. You will make your listener realize he/she is too eager to speak and constantly interrupting. Once they realize it, they will hold back more often than not, even apologizing for further interruptions. @@rexjantze296
I agree. The idioms people tend to use can tell you a lot about them, especially the time and place they grew up in. Also, who's to say what is considered dead and what's not? Some people might think "till the cows come home" is a dead phrase, but I just recently heard it for the first time, and I loved it.
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my UA-cam channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 2,017 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

Keep up with whatever it is that you're doing to improve mankind or improving your life even to a slight degree each day.

I had a Bosnian friend growing up whose father was killed after trying to leave the family home. Someone had rigged a grenade to their front door. I’ve always remember him telling me that story. Trafficking is so foreign to most of us, but hearing it first hand is quite confronting. What a strong woman. I hope she’s still able to find moments of peace after all she’s been through.
Person A: "Hey! Howdy??" Person B: "Hmm... How am I? ... I find myself in a state of introspective contemplation, pondering the profundities of existence and the myriad intricacies of human interaction."
Intelligence comes from “inter” and “legere” in Latin. which more or less translates to “to read between the lines.” Essentially, to be intelligent is to have a deep understanding of things and phenomena around and within us. A definition that has unfortunately flown over our heads over time-especially since the inception of our current education system.
Fascinating - didn't know that. I do agree with your reasoning. This culture of soundbites and simple solutions encourages a superficial understanding of a great many things. The standard required to have "deep understanding" on a subject has decreased.
Hey Joseph. Your videos have been such an inspiration in my life. I recently gave a eulogy at my brothers funeral and friends & family were really impressed with my writing and speaking ability. Wanted to say thank you for how you’ve contributed and I will continue to watch your videos for improvement.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Keep your head up better days ahead, even when it gets hard I’m on the other side of this and I promise it gets inevitably better, just keep your head up.
I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my brother too. I miss him still, but across time it's come to be a cherished sorrow. It's a gift (to yourself as well as others) that you were able to do him justice at a gathering in his honor - nicely done.

I don't comment often. But, the quality of the video and the valuable content it provided is simply too good to not compliment it. This is the best video I have seen so far in last few months! I wish you all the best for Nounce 🙏
I love the universality of these principles. They extend way beyond language and can really apply to any type of acquisition: Conscious and thoughtful selection of your actions through situational awareness Our latent inclinations that are a product of our habits Subjective analysis to improve our situational awareness and expression of skills An increase in the quality of the input (when processed correctly) produces an increase in the quality of the output Practical applications: challenging yourself, studying the effectiveness of the skill and how it is received Avoiding the platitudes of common expression and thinking outside normal conventions Increasing consciousness and clarity of the situation Understanding and accepting our flaws Overall a very awesome interpretation of articulacy
Hello Joseph, subscribing to your channel was a direct result of watching this video. As an immigrant for whom English is a second language, it's hard to express how much you've influenced my perspective on language acquisition techniques. I appreciate the valuable content you consistently share.
Steve Jobs twice? Also, I've noticed and my cousin, the Astrophysicist, noticed that speaking articulately more often than not distances yourself from others at times, so that's why we don't use it in everyday conversations. My cousin, in her 20s, used robust and flowery words often only to find people didn't like it when she did. That's why articulate words are often saved for presentations, speeches, and at times UA-cam videos. Just a thought.

Only a couple minutes in the vid and it brings up this topic which I think is important. Just because you don't have a super sophisticated and vast vocabulary, doesn't mean you're stupid and doesn't mean you don't deserve respect. In my opinion, talking with fancy words can add more emotion and specification to what you are trying to refer to or describe, but at the end of the day, we need to recognise that not everyone either has access to a high level of education, has the learning ability to pick up new and harder words in a way that isn't difficult or gruelling or even wants to learn those words to begin with. Using a more simplified vocabulary not only makes you more understandable by a wider range of people (meaning you reach a wider audience for your topic of discussion) but also topics are a lot easier to teach because by simplifying your language, you simply the topic and explanation. Cause in the end, what is more important, sounding fancy? Or ensuring everyone understands you. Not saying that talking with a more sophisticated and rounded vocabulary is a bad thing (I use some fancy bois here and there) and there is definitely a time, place and audience for it, but in the end I guess it really depends on what your goal is.
sometimes I come across a youtube comment that captures my attention. the words just flow and the point is made in a sjmple way. that's true articulacy and it always puts me in awe.
This is useful to me, as I've been noticing the way I speak and have found myself frustrated with my inability to articulate. It is vital to me to be able to express myself in a way that people can understand me. Thank you for your clear instructions.
Christopher hit hens as number 1 on your list was bittersweet.. the guy has been dead for almost 14 years and he’s still one of the most eloquent speakers of the modern era and on UA-cam.
I was reading a book to my younger brother at night and I also realized that it’s better to read to please your own ears rather than worry what others think
I enjoyed this video. I work with C-suite execs, the use of language is a clear indicator (to me at least) of those who are deserving of their position. As soon as I hear phrases like “this sits in our wheelhouse”, “we need to double-click on this”, “we’re searching for white spaces” I know the speaker is full of hot air and insecure of their position. Listen to someone like Stephen Fry speak and it’s immediately obvious through his language that he’s a very well educated man
Bro i think ur speech is powerful and certainly better than mine. But often you reach for words just to try and sound “more articulate” my opinion is that articulacy is also simplicity. If your trying your best to find “specific” vocab you in turn, make it harder to understand what you’re trying your best to communicate
I felt the same way when he spoke of "engineering sentences by excavating..." It reminded me of someone using the built-it theasarus in MS Word excessively.
So I watched the entire video, and I did not notice any instances of him “reaching for words just to try and sound ‘more articulate’ “. Maybe you have a different (smaller) pool of words you are comfortable with, which is not a big deal, so certain words were more difficult for you to process quickly, and therefore the sentence you were hearing sounded “off” to you. But I think he was actively trying to be intentional with the words he chose, so he took longer to pick each word. I think he communicated his ideas very well - which is precisely what the entire video was about, in the first place.
I’ve always called that a person’s “functional” vocabulary. I’ve intentionally matched the lowest common denominator of my audience for so long that when I’m in a more articulate crowd, I have to consciously switch gears.
As a language expert and polyglot I do recommend everyone to absorb this informative video and implement it, to speak a language articulately we need to practice as much as possible by combining knowledge and proper linguistic structure.
10:57 when you said to descend past the dead phrase and into the heart of our thought, I realised that it happens more often than not when I have to a convo with someone, where I genuinely pouring my heart out
As an Indian, I propose highly that Dr Shashi Tharoor and Jiddu Krishna murthy must be added in your list of Eloquent wordsmith list! Even simply watching their lectures daily improved my articulation aswell as right pronounciation of words that I've been for a long time.
I had to think a bit harder to fully understand some of these comments. Bravo everyone 👏🏽👏🏽. Y’all truely watched this video to the end. Very authentic . No dead phrases here. I’m glad I watched this .
Many believe that English has gained its status as a global language largely due to historical colonialism. As a non-native English speaker, I've come to appreciate that the resources available for learning and mastering the English language are exceptionally comprehensive compared to those for other languages. While my mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, I've found that English offers an extensive array of tools and materials specifically designed to enhance one's skills in rhetoric and speech articulation, which are often lacking in my native language.
Yess, i have been telling this to my native english speaker friends for years! The tools to verbalise concepts, feelings, ideas is way better in english. The variety of words to define different shades of feelings, of a specific phenomenon is way more comprehensive and rich in contrast to my native language.
I was wondering when the next video was coming, but it’s so clear why it took the time it did. I see you implementing all the clever UA-cam editing in your videos. Keep grinding dude!

Using the correct mindset helps me overcome self-consciousness and allows me to flow in conversations. Many of these exercises are used in acting classes to help a person get out of themselves and into a character. The appropriate mindset to use depends largely on your personality. 1) Mental Essay - See the other person’s speech as words in a written essay. Then imagine your written response and speak that out. 2) Memory - Speak by leaning into the memories of past feelings and events. 3) Playing a Game - Imagine your interaction is like playing a game you love and are good at. E.g. Chess, Uno, video game, Tennis, etc. 4) People are 11 year olds - Imagine everyone is an 11 year old. They need careful and clear elaboration. 5) Be a Clown - Be unafraid to be a fool. 6) Be the opposite gender - If you’re a guy, imagine you’re a girl, and vice versa. 7) I am needed - Imagine you are there because you are needed for your expertise. 8) Everybody are just droids - (Humans make me nervous. But underneath, they are all just droids).
I had to stop, take notes, rewatch the whole video a few times and digest what you were talking about. Not only this video, but so far what I've seen (coming from you) is so rich in actionable advice... I'm working on finding the right word for that :)
That seems to me like a downside. It can indicate he is not speaking clearly. Many of his words are simply elongations of phrases that could be expressed more simply. Remember his audience is people who aren't used to hearing more complicated phrases or heavy dialog. The way it comes of is agrandizing as he uses words that are less common because they are rarely used rather than because they are more accurate. That does not mean the content is without value. However if you want to become a great speaker or communicator you must recognize that conveying information to your audience is your goal.
If you want to listen to a set of people who use language in very creative ways and with perfect timing you should listen to comedians. Listen to them and think about why what they said makes you laugh. Think about the timing: When did they pause, why did they pause, when did they rush through a sentence? Timing is crucial and you can learn it from people who are funny. Think about how they phrased something that caused you to laugh about it. Not all comedians are created equal, though. "A comic is a person who says funny things. A comedian is a person who says things funny."
Where are you man? The distilled wisdom you are sharing through your UA-cam videos will take ages for someone to gather. I need more content like this.
Dead phrases - so relatable and i am actually good with spontaneous answers than pausing or taking time ! Some times connecting ourselves consciously to the unconsciousness will unleash best answers ( it comes with practice )
I am glued to my phone screen and have my open ears whenever I watch your videos. Truly Pure content you are sharing. Thanks for making it free I appreciate it ❤

1. Overusing dead phrases and words - be conscious about what words/phrases you use. 2. Broaden the range of your surface level lexicon - you don't always have to use the same simple words that arise from instinct. 3. Increase the quality of language input - have more intelligent conversations, read harder books, listen/read anything a level beyond your current level of understanding. 3x5 language diet: read material 1 level above your average language input, read poetry ALOUD, consciously attune to the word choice from an audio, all for 5 min. 4. Be more conscious in your communication. Be on guard against dead phrases, and repeat the question out loud. 5. Pausing before answering to consciously formulate your answer. Identify your main speaking insecurity, and find the right words to confidently articulate that.
Paused at the "Readers List for Articulate Reading" and saw a book title-Pride and Prejudice-that reminded me of my childhood school. Idk if it was one of the curriculum books or if it was a library book, but that book made me message my mom about my old school books and thereafter go to my school's website, which was a filling, nostalgic, heart-bear-hugging trip down memory lane. Writing this comment makes me realise a benefit of reading that idt i knew of before: it's one of the branches that leads to old eras, ambiences, and experiences as do sounds, smells, and familiar sights.

When we find people thinking on a meta-cognitive level, they are often thinking about how they processed the given information, instead of what they processed like a computer: thinking about thinking, one of the oldest art forms not taught often. As he implied, it has been noted that many thinkers of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, in varied linguistic circles, had a larger vocabulary and word combination than people of today due to our relinquishing reading as an entertainment industry; rather, we are sports enthusiasts now, which often leads to a short-term memory along with a shorter, hackneyed phrase vocabulary.
I'm starting to think people use the English language as a weapon rather than a means to communicate or express themselves. I also feel like people sacrifice their unique personality by attempting to sound articulate. For example: A naturally funny person would be less funny if they consciously choose their words. Secondly, there are certain dialects that would not have the same effect if translated to English. I just think people need to be themselves rather than trying hard to be outstanding.
What exactly is being one's self? That's nothing but an illusion. No one is himself. The way you act with your family, your friends, your boss and strangers are totally different, and each one them has a unique image of what you are, so let me ask you, who are you? The answer is you don't exist, at least, you as, the person you refer to when you say "I'm being myself" doesn't exist. Life is a game of masks.
Hi there! I know it’s not what you want to hear but the background music distracts a lot while listening to you. You have a very pleasant voice and I enjoy hearing it, but it would be great to reduce the loudness of the background music 🙌🏻 It’s just what I think. Maybe I am not the only one who gets easily distracted by it 😅
This was one of the best explainational videos I've ever seen. The graphics used, the examples picked out, and also the direct hints to ways of implementing the rules into your own lifestyle- were just extremely fitting and helpful. Big thumbs up, keep up the great work
This video is one of the best guides that I have found for improving my English-speaking skills. Thank you, Joseph Tsar. I will try your system from now on. Cheers from Costa Rica.
If you could hear these great speakers interact at home on a day to day basis the first thing that would occur to you is that they would be choosing the same trite words and phrases as those lesser mortals like us that you consider to be inarticulate.
It is the first time a channel with such content, I was impressed because it is a topic that I am thinking about extensively in the light of everything around us
English is my second language, so I greatly appreciate resources like these to improve my skills ☺️ I don’t want to settle for a basic level of communication, as I deeply enjoy languages and the versatility that they allow once you explore those less common words 😄
When I'm alone I speak English clearly or when im around certain people I speak clearly, but for some reason around other people i mince my words and easily lose my train of thought.
I love this video partly because it made me worried how almost tiring it was to listen to it. The sentences you used were so creative and my brain isn't used to hearing it. This gives me yet another reason to reconsider my content consumption. Thank you
The last point about admitting you don't have the right words for an answer to a question ....or need more time to process what you want to say ...I think has unlocked my fears ....thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I will begin to ask for more grace or opportunity to organize my thoughts .....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
You have practiced to utilize your words like a painter painting a masterpiece. I’m going to listen to my audiobook right now and try again in my next video. I’ve came a long ways and I know I’m headed in the right direction.
At this point, I have no idea how or why UA-cam suggested one of your videos, but I feel it's what I need in life and have been binging and taking handwritten notes. Thank you for all of this!
As a non-native speaker I realized that I'm much more eloquent in English than my native language since I've not been listening to very articulate speech in it as opposed to what I listen to in the English language. But paradoxically enough, when I try to speak my native language in an articulate way, I tend to grasp for words that don't exist in it. But it can also happen vice-versa as well. So I do believe that someone enhancing their active vocabulary as a native is the same advice given to language students: High volumes of compressible input at the edge of your level & deliberate practice. Also, personally, the emotional intent is extremely important. If I'm talking with my family, I feel extremely discouraged to talk about topics and use language in a way that would sound posh to them. So, try to stay away from people/environment/content that is not operating at that linguistic/mental level you aim to operate at. I did learn English through exposure to it online, I had to deliberately start talking with myself in front of the mirror. But not just that, now I realized that emotionally I had been bound to talking sloppy because everyone around me does, independently of the language I speak.
Incredible, exactly what I needed. I love that you have so many resources, thank you. At my best I feel like a clever bastard, at worst vague and juvenile. Hoping to decrease the gulf between the two. All of this is indispensable for anyone making video content.
Thrilled to welcome back your eloquent musings! Your absence, brief yet felt, left a void in our tapestry of words. Your lexicon's return is a burst of literary sunshine!
Might I ask that you repeat the words you have spoken that were directed at me in our current time frame? I am currently speaking in a manor of aggression, but that tonality cannot be properly conveyed over the Internet, but rather only in situations in which we would be communicating vocally, and with facial contact. That being said, I believe my over-arching point can still be reached through the words I will speak to you in this instant message. I would care to remind you, and you would do well to remember that I graduated as the number one student compared to other students attending my naval academy in the school period which I attended as well. My skills were so adept that I was selected to join a special and exclusive group of Naval soldiers, known commonly as the Navy Seals. Not only that, but in addition it is valuable and important to fully comprehend the fact that I also have had a larger number than three hundred people opposing the United States of America become deceased due to my interaction with them during my naval service, and by extension as a part of my naval service. That being said, I believe it can also be held in value to learn and retain the knowledge that I am additionally trained professionally in participating in guerrilla warfare, or, more aptly, a series of war-based tactics that value one's ability to remain hidden and undetectable to the enemy nation who is fighting in the conflict, and furthermore, the people that nation has hired in order to work as a force of soldiers. I am as well a very much acclaimed marksman, so highly acclaimed am I in my marksmanship ability, that I was ranked by my superiors in the naval forces in which I served as, not only the top marksman using a sniper rifle in the navy, but in the entirety of the United States of America's armed forces for use in defending the country against domestic and international threats when voted upon by congress thereupon pending the approval of the American head of state. Therefore, because of my impressive reclaim, I am able to view you metaphorically as nothing, save for you being an enemy of which I might be trained to make deceased. Because of my view upon you as an enemy in such, I would like to inform you that I am unhindered in my ability to make you no longer continue to live using astounding and un-paralleled levels of precision, the likes of which have not been viewed upon the Earth. This aggression and the related threats are primarily as a result of your smug, arrogant, and naïve belief that you have the ability to use derogatory statements regarding me while using the internet. Because of your existing belief to that end, I would like to advise you to rethink your existing beliefs, keeping in mind my extensive naval and militaristic training, and resulting skill, that I have made better over the course of a significant portion of my life. Because of your lack of ability and overall mental death to rethink aforementioned decisions, I have resolved to make contact with a confidential interconnected group of people working in espionage across the United States of America. In addition to this, I have decided to take the initiative to use my computational device in combination with my access to the internet to trace your IP address, in order to perform upon you what is known as a "dox" attack. Therefore, I would advise you to make yourself ready for what is known figuratively and metaphorically as an oncoming storm. The aforementioned metaphorical storm will be used in order to render you no longer able to continue your life, as it exists currently. To reiterate, this is a threat against your life, and I have provided evidence to support my ability to remove your living ability from yourself. To further support my evidence, I would like to inform you that I have the ability (if I may use subtle hyperbole for effect) to make myself exist at any time, anywhere, and, while in that position, I can select from a number larger than seven hundred different ways to end your existence as it currently is. Those seven hundred ways cover only methods that would require me to use nothing more than my hands, in terms of equipment. Pertinently, I might care to reinforce the fact that I am extensively trained in combat methods that require no more equipment than what is regularly upon my person. In addition, I also an unhindered and full access to the weapons arsenal of the Marine Corps under the United States of America. With said arsenal, I will be able transport you away from this continent. Had you been able to see with foresight the fact that I would react aggressively and to this extent at your original statement, perhaps you would have refrained from making the aforementioned statement. However, without the ability to fully comprehend the consequences place upon you for your actions, you decided, through your volition, that you would bestow upon my offensive words that were intended to be derogatory when directed upon me. Therefore, you will now have to continue on with the consequences of the actions you have made. The consequences I refer to include ending your existence. Therefore, it is within my pride and honesty to declare that you will soon find yourself deceased.
It is fun to write sentences like these, but the amount of clear effort it took to write makes it come off like you’re trying too hard. Good practice nonetheless.
I came here after watching your other video about why we can't articulate well. Thank you for the perspective. I have some things to consider and modify in my day to day.
I used this technique and my sentences are bussin' now no cap.
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
sheeeiiiiitt
Dude, I literally couldn't write a sentence of English before this video. But now I can write like Shakespeare or an OG street gangstah at a moments notice. Do you feel me brotah? It's the dynamism. It's like HDR but for your talkin. I be talking with the gals too and they love when I talk real. Solved my social anxiety too.
Technically thats not what bussin means
He said " prostitute." That is a word I have in my surface lexicon but never tried to verbally flex.
You’re selling yourself short
I liked how it was used as a verb - feels more socially acceptable that way
That joke was so subtle and meta it made me smile. He said "You don't have to prostitute down the meaning of words with the basic definition that they have", hinting at the fact that the only meaning most of us know from the word "prostitute" is "a sex worker", while the word has another meaning as well, that most peope ignore.
I realised I tend to develop a lisp when I’m under pressure, but when I’m around people I’m comfortable with I speak clearly
Same
Me too except with a stutter!
Yeah I have that nerd lisp
One trick to help that which people often overlook (me too) is the simple deep breathe. Nervousness makes shallow breathe and lower brain function. Consciously taking that deep breathe before talking to them has helped me alot, and so easy.
Yeah, I have it too.
My favorite example of a dead phrase is "be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!"

This video is a proof that the reason for our short attention span is not just our dopamine hungry minds but the value that is missing from the content creators. I didn’t wander for a moment watching this video.
I can’t agree more!
I couldn't agree more
There is a vast source of wonderful content creators. You simply need to filter out the low-value content from your life. UA-camrs such as Joseph Rodrigues, Rich Roll, and Rian Doris possessed high-quality content.
Most creators are regurgitating content from each other, I feel sick in my stomach every time I give a chance for a content creator on a field/topic that I'm well-versed, and it always turns out to be the same garbage being repeated over and over again. So does what ChatGPT will give you at first, if you don't prime it with the correct questions. It's a colossal difference between great creators and the average out there. They got a pretty shot, a nice thumbnail, they speak well, but their content is shit, they don't think deep enough. That's why recently I've been listening more to long-form content such as podcasts, just like he mentions.
thank you for your recomendation

This comment section feels like a party where everyone holds a fancy drink and pretends to enjoy the small talk :D I noticed this tendency that people copy the style of the speakers of the videos online. On some business content everybody talks and evaluates business ideas like they are some kind of business sharks and have millions to invest :D And under funny videos everybody copies the slang. Here - everybody is suddenly sophisticated speakers and eloquent banterers :D People love to belong. Don't get me wrong - I do it too, but it's fun to reflect on these things ;D
Bro this is so true
I think it has to do with different audiences for these different videos, actually. And it's now making it seem like people are copying the style of the speaker of the video. But no, they aren't copying the style of the speaker, just different audiences resonating differently.
I've noticed the same and have actually said this to myself in the past. Interesting indeed.
Has to do with most people being very whimsical and no absolute purpose in life , just blowing in the wind like a feather with no control so they behave like chameleons all the time because they get subdued by the situation.
Lmao yup I’m guilty of it it too
Over the years, I have learnt through peer-to-peer communication that the way we articulate ourselves has a profound impact on the way others perceive us. I had made an effort to consciously speak using positive sentences. For example, if I don't appreciate someone doing something, instead of instructing them to not do that particular activity, I would direct them to do what I want. These small changes shifted my view and lead me to be positive. I find Mohammad Ali to be very charming. He speaks eloquently with playfulness. Thank you for helping me understand what I could work on to better myself.
Occasionally when I have the patience: I create an environment for people to make to make the same mistake repeatedly until they find the solution without my assistance
As an academic, every day is filled with articulate speakers. Two main observations include: 1. Some just aren’t articulate speakers, and that’s okay. 2. What we actually value in discourse are colleagues that can communicate the most information in the simplest way, i.e., using the simplest language.
☝️🤓
I appreciate that too because I will learn hearing simple language if someone is using big words I don’t hear often I’ll start to be distracted by them because I’ll start thinking about their meaning instead of what the speaker is saying.
Agree! I work in communications / corporate affairs, and previously in the British press. Most of my time is spent advising outstandingly smart people who lack the skills to effectively express themselves - often they're allergic to using simple language. To me, your "2." is the definition of articulate. It means being agile with your choice of words, to convey complex concepts in a way that's precise but that your audience will understand.
@@rebecca_stone 100% agree with you. During my PhD I had a mentor who encouraged me to practice the Feynman Technique, which helps with concept comprehension (and consequently, knowledge transfer during teaching or presentations). The whole point of the technique is based off the Einstein quote: “If you can't explain it simply, then you don't understand it well enough.” As years passed in academia I began to realize every academic is insecure and fears their expertise being attacked by someone more knowledgable. Some try to bypass this by using overly complicated vocabulary and writing styles.
@Joeyykins "...the fear of being attacked by someone more knowledgeable." Is there a word or phenomenon for this??!! What is it?? I resonate with this so strongly!
Speaking simple and to the point is also an art.
And i love that
*Speaking simply is an art.

Also very Overlooked.
“The quality of your speech is a product of your language environments. The books you read, videos you watch, music you listen to etch language patterns in your mind that [subconsciously] are imitated in your speech.” I felt that.
that' i just if you actually try to learn from them. I've been a reader for years now, I watch many speakers, Ted talks, and my speech is nothing short of confusing, since I have trouble expressing any idea crossing my mind. So the quote makes sense, but it's not really how it works unless you consciously try to imitate the speakers you listen to or the authors you read to. Most people don't know how to communicate effectively anyway, that's enough proof that subconsciusly is not the way to improve the speech.
What makes this video so powerful is that the speaker deeply practiced the principles he explains
Absolutely! Arresting speaker
The bare minimum but yes lol
He does, which is why I can't take his conclusions too seriously. He sounds like someone trying to impress you, using words that he shows that he doesn't know the definition of and counting on you not to know better.
Used correctly, less common words and phrases are wonderful tools for more completely and artfully expressing your thoughts and sentiments; used incorrectly, they are wonderful for making us look like tools.
@@AwesomeAdamTwelvethis guy said he was prostituting a word to the bottom of the barrel or something along those lines. Also seemed very rehearsed I agree with your take completely.
@@AwesomeAdamTwelveWhile I agree with your response, I think it's inevitable that one goes through a phase like this. It's his clear conscious effort to reach for something fresh and interesting that demonstrates the principle so well. Over time we get better at it, but only by first trying and sometimes sounding overwrought.
The research based video provides a great insight to be more articulate.
The effective point i found here is.
1. Choose the words consciously
2. Read, Listen and read aloud the peotery.
In my personal experience tracing this topic too closely is.
The best way to be more articulate in your thinking and speaking is.
Read thoroughly
Listen to articulate speakers
Choose words consciously and re arrange them that how it will be more fluent and smooth.
The most important one is Writing, because writing is the only way which allows you to articulate your thinking process, in result it will automatically articulate your spoken words. Writing helps you convert the sub conscious mind vocabulary into the active one which we use in forming sentences as already explained in the video.
Wow. The amount of information you're giving away simply because you want to help people be more articulate is amazing.
Thank you Joseph for being so open about sharing your discoveries to help other people transform their vocabulary and improve their confidence. You're the man

To be more articulate, some of these "dead phrases" you mentioned are known as _idioms_ and _colloquialisms_
as an English learner, I was disappointed because I only learned how to use them in my speech😅
@@rosante9016if you have a strong accent when speaking English, you’ll still be impressive when you use these phrases because people will know they’re more advanced phrases (for you)
@@rosante9016 They're not quite as bad as he makes them out to be. They work as a short cut, but if you're trying to be eloquent, you want the listener to enjoy the journey so shortcuts need to be strategic. His example with the cardboard box was good, it was unusual which makes you think about it and results in emphasizing the point versus using an idiom like "muscle memory" (although it would be literally true in this case, but literally is also a bit of a dead phrase now).
can't believe this is free... thank you!
That’s precisely the response I’m hoping for! :) Thanks for watching
Neither can I. :o
Same here. Thank you!
@NaomiGwen like u kink
Thank you from me also!
Silence is a powerful tool to replace dead phrases and cold starts. Just be quiet and think before saying anything. It will create attention.
Also, making short numbered lists as an answer. This impresses people even if you remember a last point you want to add.
It also invites them to add points further, making it an engaging invitation to think together. But never choose a high number, because if you don’t get to it, it will backlash as pretentious.
If can’t do it confidently right away, announce to your audience you will proceed by listing points as answers. This will give them certainty you are thinking out loud and on the spot, which is inviting, impressive and intellectually honest. It radiates confidence.
ALWAYS say the numbers out loud, they organize your speech and force you not to digress.
Example:
“What do you think about education?”
“I think we should approach your question in two ways:
1. Education as an experience, and
2. Education as a system”
Now you are free to digress, because you framed the answer in an interesting way. If you digress too much on number 1, coming back to number 2 will also strike people, as tour memory will look sharp and you will be perceived as someone who connect ideas.
Your comment is underrated
@@simp4anything2dThanks! I forgot to add that, if you forget your second point, once you notice you forgot, be honest and say "Sorry, I digressed too much, what was my second point again?".
If your audience remembers, you know you got them completely focused on you even after digressing, meaning you will be able to continue with their focus on number 2. If they don't remember, just end your point with a "never mind". It's not worth insisting on a topic people are not interested.
But don't talk too much, people get tired of informal lectures pretty quickly.
In small settings, silence for many is often also an opportunity to interrupt and interject one's own opinion and start a different, self-aggrandizing trajectory of thought before they've heard you out. That's become very American. Maybe a video on the options for eloquently shushing interjectors before they've derailed your thinking process. Resistance in the listener is as much an obstacle as learning to speak clearly. I think of any dialogue (or monologue) as a kind of "marketing funnel" of the listener's attention, where every sentence you utter a decision is being made to continue listening. It's essentially your model of the world vs their model of the world.
True. One way to avoid that is to try to condition your listener to behave the way you want. In the case you mentioned, if your silence is constant, the constant interruption will become very noticeable to everyone listening once you highlight it: "just think with me for a moment", "as I was saying" or even a polite hand gesture.
You will make your listener realize he/she is too eager to speak and constantly interrupting. Once they realize it, they will hold back more often than not, even apologizing for further interruptions.

Genius i love it ❤❤❤
I think if you choose the right dead phrases it can add a lot of character to your speech
I agree.
The idioms people tend to use can tell you a lot about them, especially the time and place they grew up in.
Also, who's to say what is considered dead and what's not? Some people might think "till the cows come home" is a dead phrase, but I just recently heard it for the first time, and I loved it.
Good points. I myself deliberately use cliches here and there to add irony, for example.

Your mistake is that you're exerting excessive effort to convey a simple opinion
@@MuhluriI can relate to this problem
Intelligence comes from “inter” and “legere” in Latin. which more or less translates to “to read between the lines.”
Essentially, to be intelligent is to have a deep understanding of things and phenomena around and within us.
A definition that has unfortunately flown over our heads over time-especially since the inception of our current education system.
Fascinating - didn't know that. I do agree with your reasoning. This culture of soundbites and simple solutions encourages a superficial understanding of a great many things. The standard required to have "deep understanding" on a subject has decreased.
the freely shared docs are just... treasures, blessing and enlightening
Hey Joseph. Your videos have been such an inspiration in my life. I recently gave a eulogy at my brothers funeral and friends & family were really impressed with my writing and speaking ability.

I love the universality of these principles. They extend way beyond language and can really apply to any type of acquisition:
Conscious and thoughtful selection of your actions through situational awareness
Our latent inclinations that are a product of our habits
Subjective analysis to improve our situational awareness and expression of skills
An increase in the quality of the input (when processed correctly) produces an increase in the quality of the output
Practical applications: challenging yourself, studying the effectiveness of the skill and how it is received
Avoiding the platitudes of common expression and thinking outside normal conventions
Increasing consciousness and clarity of the situation
Understanding and accepting our flaws
Overall a very awesome interpretation of articulacy
Hello Joseph, subscribing to your channel was a direct result of watching this video. As an immigrant for whom English is a second language, it's hard to express how much you've influenced my perspective on language acquisition techniques. I appreciate the valuable content you consistently share.
My thoughts exactly, it's extremely helpful what he is explaining
Steve Jobs twice? Also, I've noticed and my cousin, the Astrophysicist, noticed that speaking articulately more often than not distances yourself from others at times, so that's why we don't use it in everyday conversations. My cousin, in her 20s, used robust and flowery words often only to find people didn't like it when she did. That's why articulate words are often saved for presentations, speeches, and at times UA-cam videos. Just a thought.

Only a couple minutes in the vid and it brings up this topic which I think is important. Just because you don't have a super sophisticated and vast vocabulary, doesn't mean you're stupid and doesn't mean you don't deserve respect. In my opinion, talking with fancy words can add more emotion and specification to what you are trying to refer to or describe, but at the end of the day, we need to recognise that not everyone either has access to a high level of education, has the learning ability to pick up new and harder words in a way that isn't difficult or gruelling or even wants to learn those words to begin with. Using a more simplified vocabulary not only makes you more understandable by a wider range of people (meaning you reach a wider audience for your topic of discussion) but also topics are a lot easier to teach because by simplifying your language, you simply the topic and explanation. Cause in the end, what is more important, sounding fancy? Or ensuring everyone understands you. Not saying that talking with a more sophisticated and rounded vocabulary is a bad thing (I use some fancy bois here and there) and there is definitely a time, place and audience for it, but in the end I guess it really depends on what your goal is.
sometimes I come across a youtube comment that captures my attention.
the words just flow and the point is made in a sjmple way.
that's true articulacy and it always puts me in awe.
This is useful to me, as I've been noticing the way I speak and have found myself frustrated with my inability to articulate. It is vital to me to be able to express myself in a way that people can understand me. Thank you for your clear instructions.
Outstanding. Organized. Dense. Concise. Guess that’s the point.
Thank you.

Simple enough, but, most people are too lazy to sophisticate simplicity in thinking.
"Just doing it" simply because it's simple, is not enough though.
Christopher hit hens as number 1 on your list was bittersweet.. the guy has been dead for almost 14 years and he’s still one of the most eloquent speakers of the modern era and on UA-cam.
But Steve Jobs hit it twice. Haha 9:06
I was reading a book to my younger brother at night and I also realized that it’s better to read to please your own ears rather than worry what others think
I enjoyed this video.
I work with C-suite execs, the use of language is a clear indicator (to me at least) of those who are deserving of their position.
As soon as I hear phrases like “this sits in our wheelhouse”, “we need to double-click on this”, “we’re searching for white spaces” I know the speaker is full of hot air and insecure of their position.
Listen to someone like Stephen Fry speak and it’s immediately obvious through his language that he’s a very well educated man
Bro i think ur speech is powerful and certainly better than mine. But often you reach for words just to try and sound “more articulate” my opinion is that articulacy is also simplicity. If your trying your best to find “specific” vocab you in turn, make it harder to understand what you’re trying your best to communicate
Agreed. He actually makes great points but his almost halting delivery belies these points.
I felt the same way when he spoke of "engineering sentences by excavating..." It reminded me of someone using the built-it theasarus in MS Word excessively.
I agree, but then I thought maybe he was practicing, or it could be that he just knows more words than me.
@@JayM928he overuses excavating. His overall vocabulary sounds try hard
So I watched the entire video, and I did not notice any instances of him “reaching for words just to try and sound ‘more articulate’ “. Maybe you have a different (smaller) pool of words you are comfortable with, which is not a big deal, so certain words were more difficult for you to process quickly, and therefore the sentence you were hearing sounded “off” to you. But I think he was actively trying to be intentional with the words he chose, so he took longer to pick each word. I think he communicated his ideas very well - which is precisely what the entire video was about, in the first place.
Steve Jobs is so articulate that he’s on the list twice ha ha! 9:06
I’ve always called that a person’s “functional” vocabulary. I’ve intentionally matched the lowest common denominator of my audience for so long that when I’m in a more articulate crowd, I have to consciously switch gears.
As a language expert and polyglot I do recommend everyone to absorb this informative video and implement it, to speak a language articulately we need to practice as much as possible by combining knowledge and proper linguistic structure.
I have so much respect for creators like you who put so much effort to their content. Thank you!
10:57 when you said to descend past the dead phrase and into the heart of our thought, I realised that it happens more often than not when I have to a convo with someone, where I genuinely pouring my heart out
Not only have you provided a simple structure one could follow, you also provided a handful of resources to get started. Great work!
There's so much gold packed into this 16-minute video! 🌟
As an Indian, I propose highly that Dr Shashi Tharoor and Jiddu Krishna murthy must be added in your list of Eloquent wordsmith list! Even simply watching their lectures daily improved my articulation aswell as right pronounciation of words that I've been for a long time.
I had to think a bit harder to fully understand some of these comments. Bravo everyone 👏🏽👏🏽. Y’all truely watched this video to the end. Very authentic . No dead phrases here. I’m glad I watched this .
Many believe that English has gained its status as a global language largely due to historical colonialism. As a non-native English speaker, I've come to appreciate that the resources available for learning and mastering the English language are exceptionally comprehensive compared to those for other languages. While my mother tongue is Brazilian Portuguese, I've found that English offers an extensive array of tools and materials specifically designed to enhance one's skills in rhetoric and speech articulation, which are often lacking in my native language.
Eu tive que responder no nosso idioma nativo para dizer que conseguiu descrever com precisão como me sinto em relação aos dois idiomas!!
Also neurodiverse ppl tend to prefer English over their mother tongue for some reason
Yess, i have been telling this to my native english speaker friends for years! The tools to verbalise concepts, feelings, ideas is way better in english. The variety of words to define different shades of feelings, of a specific phenomenon is way more comprehensive and rich in contrast to my native language.
@@VenomonomonomWhere did you learn that from? Is there a link? I'd like to check that up.
Another way to practice speaking articulately is reciting rap lyrics from articulate rappers. They are some of the best poets of our generation.
I was wondering when the next video was coming, but it’s so clear why it took the time it did. I see you implementing all the clever UA-cam editing in your videos. Keep grinding dude! The exercises you propose in your videos have been added into my routine I wrote out for 2024. The value you put into these videos is unparalleled.

@@wealthkings178 lets analyse the lies which are world wide believed and origin from masons:
lie: schools are of use (fact. schools keep slavery alive and stands for dumbing down the population of mankind)
lie: moon and mars landings, (fact: even masons know they cannot leave - earth is closed system, unless you want to drown, there is no other place created for us to live in.)
lie: news channels share truth (fact: these are for politic propaganda)
lie: voting matters (fact: politic propaganda)
lie: money has a value of its own (fact: it is just a tool of this world, which value has been agreed upon world wide, it should be not loved, only used as needed.)
lie: NASA lies (globe and all....) (fact: NASA stands for TO DECEIVE and 2 members expose their own lies, one is still alive, the other (Wernher Von Braun) place a clear clue on his own gravestone) - you havn´t searched - have you?
lie: the lgbtq++++ propaganda (fact: it is a part of masonry depopulation agenda, 500 000 000 souls, thats their goal - Georgia Guidestones!)
lie: Evolution and the dinosaurs. (fact: mankind is not hybrid kind)
to keep stating that there was an evolution, then we ain´t humans, we aint then mankind, we are then hybrids. Are you a hybrid?
Lie: holidays (xmas, Halloween, new year eve and so on) (fact: PAGAN HOLIDAYS, to praise BAAL, the god of this world)
lie: U.F.Os (fact: they are demons/evil spirits in high places, against whom we fight daily = spiritual warfare)
lie: rules and laws rule the world (fact: signs and symbols of masonry do)
lie: believe in being educated (fact: found daily living with the lack of knowledge)
lie: religions are ways to heaven (fact: JESUS CHRIST is only way to heaven. Religions, no matter its name = masonic garbage)
lie: our dead loved ones stay around to “ghost” (fact: hunting and ghosting is job of demons, not of humans. We, humans, come from GOD and return back to HIM and all the stories of having been seen a ghost - terrifying, scary, dark, cold - again no job of analysing been done here by you- right?)
Lie: Humans have no immune system and we need vaccines as these save lives (fact: humans HAVE IMMUNE SYSTEM and vaccines are created for one or two purpose: to kill or to cripple. If you took all their poison shots then later in life comes all kinds of medical diagnoses = vaccines crippled you - remember that)
lie: there is no GOD (fact: There is GOD, who redeems sinners and created us directly from the dust of the earth: Psalms 139:14 (KJV)
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.)
to keep claiming that there is no GOD and we aint created directly from the dust of the earth, we soon run out logic, regardless to we place “evolution” in our claims or not and our dead, whats happening to them as they sleep in their graves? - they decay away, becoming the dust form which they were taken, if it ain`t so then we are simply reality deniers.
lie: 911 was terror attack (fact: 911 was an inside job, meaning the work of your loved government)
lie: Tv watching is of use (fact: television (TV) = tell a lie vision, a weapon for our minds, keeping it under MK ULTRA)
half lie/half truth: earth is a stage where everyone plays rolls (fact: earth is stage, a freemasonry checkerboard, where both side, black and white are masons and humans both in politics and regular souls = the naive public gets daily played)
lie: children are government to raise (fact: children are parents to raise, it takes 2 to make them, it takes 2 to raise them).
Lie: we live already in the matrix (fact: we live since birth in BABYLON which is to become “matrix” as Man - us, must merge with machine aka take the mark of the beast and then matrix aka false reality becomes to be 100%)
lie: humans are not intelligent enough (fact: it is forgotten fact, we all are intelligent, many have suffered the illness from this world, being indoctrinated by masons, cause who give us the school system which we have? masons did, because they need slaves.
Lie: love is low standers and = lust (fact love is high standard as love means>
John 15:13
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
Lie> do what thy wilt there is no body who has the right to judge you (fact> GOD SHALL JUDGE YOU AFTER YOU HAVE DEPARTED ON EARTH and Christians are also called to give out righteous judgment, therefore repent * born again * go and sin no more)
lie: slavery is over (fact: slavery was never over, it just changes a little as we are no longer buy`d or sold, still prepared through school systems for our future slavery, succumb to our slave lives based on our free will)
24 lies, should i go on?
This world ain´t deceived, out there to deceive?
9 - 5 working industry was created, because masons wants slaves. Schools systems prepared us for our future slavery. Wise ones reject this and seek GOD and start relying on HIM fully. it is unwise to count on the governments of this world. Didn´t they proved in 2020 how badly far are they from reality? slavery turn no soul rich, the price for such slavery is opposite:
you lost:
time (1st 20 years = childhood, then comes 40 years for slavery = your 20s, your 30s, your 40s, your 50s, then comes 50 years of being elderly = 60 - 100)
health = all these vaccines, which slowly turns you a cripple + man made fake food ( we are dust and should consume which comes directly from dust)
life = no time and no health = early grave
Each of us shall lose 3 times, gain nothing more then illusions.
When reading THE BIBLE (KJV) and complaining abut the slavery in the past, know then this, that
9 - 5 working industry = slavery of our day.
You want to know the past - read bible, you want to know present - read bible - you want to know future - read bible.
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Using the correct mindset helps me overcome self-consciousness and allows me to flow in conversations. Many of these exercises are used in acting classes to help a person get out of themselves and into a character. The appropriate mindset to use depends largely on your personality.
1) Mental Essay - See the other person’s speech as words in a written essay. Then imagine your written response and speak that out.
2) Memory - Speak by leaning into the memories of past feelings and events.
3) Playing a Game - Imagine your interaction is like playing a game you love and are good at. E.g. Chess, Uno, video game, Tennis, etc.
4) People are 11 year olds - Imagine everyone is an 11 year old. They need careful and clear elaboration.
5) Be a Clown - Be unafraid to be a fool.
6) Be the opposite gender - If you’re a guy, imagine you’re a girl, and vice versa.
7) I am needed - Imagine you are there because you are needed for your expertise.
8) Everybody are just droids - (Humans make me nervous. But underneath, they are all just droids).
I had to stop, take notes, rewatch the whole video a few times and digest what you were talking about. Not only this video, but so far what I've seen (coming from you) is so rich in actionable advice... I'm working on finding the right word for that :)
same my mind cannot process the information thats is valuable
That seems to me like a downside. It can indicate he is not speaking clearly. Many of his words are simply elongations of phrases that could be expressed more simply. Remember his audience is people who aren't used to hearing more complicated phrases or heavy dialog. The way it comes of is agrandizing as he uses words that are less common because they are rarely used rather than because they are more accurate. That does not mean the content is without value. However if you want to become a great speaker or communicator you must recognize that conveying information to your audience is your goal.
Bro , keep going to release new contents it is the most informative of videos I have ever seen 😊
This video was one of the most insightful videos I've watched on UA-cam. Brilliant
If you want to listen to a set of people who use language in very creative ways and with perfect timing you should listen to comedians. Listen to them and think about why what they said makes you laugh. Think about the timing: When did they pause, why did they pause, when did they rush through a sentence? Timing is crucial and you can learn it from people who are funny. Think about how they phrased something that caused you to laugh about it. Not all comedians are created equal, though. "A comic is a person who says funny things. A comedian is a person who says things funny."
Where are you man? The distilled wisdom you are sharing through your UA-cam videos will take ages for someone to gather. I need more content like this.
Dead phrases - so relatable and i am actually good with spontaneous answers than pausing or taking time !
Some times connecting ourselves consciously to the unconsciousness will unleash best answers ( it comes with practice )
I am glued to my phone screen and have my open ears whenever I watch your videos. Truly Pure content you are sharing. Thanks for making it free
I appreciate it ❤
Can't express just how excited i am, finding this channel...It came just when I went searching for a way to improve my communication 🎉
These documents you gave attached add huge additional value in addition to the content of your video, much appreciated!
We're just getting started - I've got many more that I've created for myself and will be sharing in future videos :)
@@ttsar looking forward to them!
Seen many videos on how to be articulate…this is THE ABSOLUTE BEST video thus far. Clear and actionable with links to exercises and even an electronic aid available, makes this channel a proven leader in the field of public speaking. Thank you so much sir, new subscriber ❤👍
1. Overusing dead phrases and words - be conscious about what words/phrases you use.
2. Broaden the range of your surface level lexicon - you don't always have to use the same simple words that arise from instinct.
3. Increase the quality of language input - have more intelligent conversations, read harder books, listen/read anything a level beyond your current level of understanding.
3x5 language diet: read material 1 level above your average language input, read poetry ALOUD, consciously attune to the word choice from an audio, all for 5 min.
4. Be more conscious in your communication. Be on guard against dead phrases, and repeat the question out loud.
5. Pausing before answering to consciously formulate your answer. Identify your main speaking insecurity, and find the right words to confidently articulate that.
Paused at the "Readers List for Articulate Reading" and saw a book title-Pride and Prejudice-that reminded me of my childhood school. Idk if it was one of the curriculum books or if it was a library book, but that book made me message my mom about my old school books and thereafter go to my school's website, which was a filling, nostalgic, heart-bear-hugging trip down memory lane.
Writing this comment makes me realise a benefit of reading that idt i knew of before: it's one of the branches that leads to old eras, ambiences, and experiences as do sounds, smells, and familiar sights.
Where in the video was this? I watched the whole video and couldn't find it 🤔
@@sylversoul88Possibly the super-intelligent commentator named dardhadard837 was using outstanding inference skills which require the logic of intuition and perception rather than mere cogitation with regurgitation-which is at the bottom of Bloom’s taxonomy.
When we find people thinking on a meta-cognitive level, they are often thinking about how they processed the given information, instead of what they processed like a computer: thinking about thinking, one of the oldest art forms not taught often. As he implied, it has been noted that many thinkers of the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, in varied linguistic circles, had a larger vocabulary and word combination than people of today due to our relinquishing reading as an entertainment industry; rather, we are sports enthusiasts now, which often leads to a short-term memory along with a shorter, hackneyed phrase vocabulary.
@kausamsalam8543 I believe I was asking at what time stamp can I find the "Readers List for Articulate Reading".
I'm starting to think people use the English language as a weapon rather than a means to communicate or express themselves. I also feel like people sacrifice their unique personality by attempting to sound articulate. For example: A naturally funny person would be less funny if they consciously choose their words. Secondly, there are certain dialects that would not have the same effect if translated to English. I just think people need to be themselves rather than trying hard to be outstanding.
What exactly is being one's self? That's nothing but an illusion. No one is himself. The way you act with your family, your friends, your boss and strangers are totally different, and each one them has a unique image of what you are, so let me ask you, who are you? The answer is you don't exist, at least, you as, the person you refer to when you say "I'm being myself" doesn't exist. Life is a game of masks.
@@miyamotomusashi4556whatever ..... Give me a scientific back-up with concrete research to back up whatever you just said... Who do you think you are

This is the video we needed to avoid poor words and ghetto slang type sh** ❤
You don’t know how much of a difference you’re making in this world 🎉❤
Hi there! I know it’s not what you want to hear but the background music distracts a lot while listening to you. You have a very pleasant voice and I enjoy hearing it, but it would be great to reduce the loudness of the background music 🙌🏻 It’s just what I think. Maybe I am not the only one who gets easily distracted by it 😅
EXACTLYY
This is so important. Someone commented how is this free and I agree. From someone looking into building public speaking skills. Thank you 🙏🏿
This was one of the best explainational videos I've ever seen. The graphics used, the examples picked out, and also the direct hints to ways of implementing the rules into your own lifestyle- were just extremely fitting and helpful. Big thumbs up, keep up the great work
This video is one of the best guides that I have found for improving my English-speaking skills. Thank you, Joseph Tsar. I will try your system from now on. Cheers from Costa Rica.
This is one of the best videos I've ever seen on UA-cam. Thank you so much for this!
If you could hear these great speakers interact at home on a day to day basis the first thing that would occur to you is that they would be choosing the same trite words and phrases as those lesser mortals like us that you consider to be inarticulate.
It is the first time a channel with such content, I was impressed because it is a topic that I am thinking about extensively in the light of everything around us
I consistently employ exceptionally well-thought-out and delivered word choices, yet, no matter how kind I am, many people hate me.
English is my second language, so I greatly appreciate resources like these to improve my skills ☺️ I don’t want to settle for a basic level of communication, as I deeply enjoy languages and the versatility that they allow once you explore those less common words 😄
When I'm alone I speak English clearly or when im around certain people I speak clearly, but for some reason around other people i mince my words and easily lose my train of thought.
It could be a certain anxiety!
I love this video partly because it made me worried how almost tiring it was to listen to it. The sentences you used were so creative and my brain isn't used to hearing it. This gives me yet another reason to reconsider my content consumption. Thank you
The last point about admitting you don't have the right words for an answer to a question ....or need more time to process what you want to say ...I think has unlocked my fears ....thank you 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I will begin to ask for more grace or opportunity to organize my thoughts .....❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I like the expression
„Engineer your language and sentence“
Content of this vein enriches UA-cam... happened upon this while doom scrolling!
Clear and sensible guidance. Admirable.
oh god, the language environments dictating your speech is true, I think Llamas with hats genuinely influenced my regular speech as a teen
You pushed me to recognize my true power. Thank you forever.
You have practiced to utilize your words like a painter painting a masterpiece. I’m going to listen to my audiobook right now and try again in my next video. I’ve came a long ways and I know I’m headed in the right direction.
At this point, I have no idea how or why UA-cam suggested one of your videos, but I feel it's what I need in life and have been binging and taking handwritten notes. Thank you for all of this!
You have one heck of a channel here Joseph, you're a great UA-camr
This guy speaks with incredible exactness.
It is a state of mind... the ability to develop and use language fluently and impactfully. Not everybody or anybody can develop linguistic prowess.
As a non-native speaker I realized that I'm much more eloquent in English than my native language since I've not been listening to very articulate speech in it as opposed to what I listen to in the English language. But paradoxically enough, when I try to speak my native language in an articulate way, I tend to grasp for words that don't exist in it. But it can also happen vice-versa as well. So I do believe that someone enhancing their active vocabulary as a native is the same advice given to language students: High volumes of compressible input at the edge of your level & deliberate practice.
Also, personally, the emotional intent is extremely important. If I'm talking with my family, I feel extremely discouraged to talk about topics and use language in a way that would sound posh to them.
So, try to stay away from people/environment/content that is not operating at that linguistic/mental level you aim to operate at.
I did learn English through exposure to it online, I had to deliberately start talking with myself in front of the mirror. But not just that, now I realized that emotionally I had been bound to talking sloppy because everyone around me does, independently of the language I speak.
Congratulations for the launch of Nounce and thank you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Wow your channel is growing rapidly 🎉 and your content is exactly what I needed to improve my speaking. Keep it up man.
Incredible, exactly what I needed. I love that you have so many resources, thank you. At my best I feel like a clever bastard, at worst vague and juvenile. Hoping to decrease the gulf between the two. All of this is indispensable for anyone making video content.
No outro! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. You inspire me!
This video was well presented and your deductions were easy to follow. Thank you for posting.
Thrilled to welcome back your eloquent musings! Your absence, brief yet felt, left a void in our tapestry of words. Your lexicon's return is a burst of literary sunshine!
Might I ask that you repeat the words you have spoken that were directed at me in our current time frame? I am currently speaking in a manor of aggression, but that tonality cannot be properly conveyed over the Internet, but rather only in situations in which we would be communicating vocally, and with facial contact. That being said, I believe my over-arching point can still be reached through the words I will speak to you in this instant message. I would care to remind you, and you would do well to remember that I graduated as the number one student compared to other students attending my naval academy in the school period which I attended as well. My skills were so adept that I was selected to join a special and exclusive group of Naval soldiers, known commonly as the Navy Seals. Not only that, but in addition it is valuable and important to fully comprehend the fact that I also have had a larger number than three hundred people opposing the United States of America become deceased due to my interaction with them during my naval service, and by extension as a part of my naval service. That being said, I believe it can also be held in value to learn and retain the knowledge that I am additionally trained professionally in participating in guerrilla warfare, or, more aptly, a series of war-based tactics that value one's ability to remain hidden and undetectable to the enemy nation who is fighting in the conflict, and furthermore, the people that nation has hired in order to work as a force of soldiers. I am as well a very much acclaimed marksman, so highly acclaimed am I in my marksmanship ability, that I was ranked by my superiors in the naval forces in which I served as, not only the top marksman using a sniper rifle in the navy, but in the entirety of the United States of America's armed forces for use in defending the country against domestic and international threats when voted upon by congress thereupon pending the approval of the American head of state. Therefore, because of my impressive reclaim, I am able to view you metaphorically as nothing, save for you being an enemy of which I might be trained to make deceased. Because of my view upon you as an enemy in such, I would like to inform you that I am unhindered in my ability to make you no longer continue to live using astounding and un-paralleled levels of precision, the likes of which have not been viewed upon the Earth. This aggression and the related threats are primarily as a result of your smug, arrogant, and naïve belief that you have the ability to use derogatory statements regarding me while using the internet. Because of your existing belief to that end, I would like to advise you to rethink your existing beliefs, keeping in mind my extensive naval and militaristic training, and resulting skill, that I have made better over the course of a significant portion of my life. Because of your lack of ability and overall mental death to rethink aforementioned decisions, I have resolved to make contact with a confidential interconnected group of people working in espionage across the United States of America. In addition to this, I have decided to take the initiative to use my computational device in combination with my access to the internet to trace your IP address, in order to perform upon you what is known as a "dox" attack. Therefore, I would advise you to make yourself ready for what is known figuratively and metaphorically as an oncoming storm. The aforementioned metaphorical storm will be used in order to render you no longer able to continue your life, as it exists currently. To reiterate, this is a threat against your life, and I have provided evidence to support my ability to remove your living ability from yourself. To further support my evidence, I would like to inform you that I have the ability (if I may use subtle hyperbole for effect) to make myself exist at any time, anywhere, and, while in that position, I can select from a number larger than seven hundred different ways to end your existence as it currently is. Those seven hundred ways cover only methods that would require me to use nothing more than my hands, in terms of equipment. Pertinently, I might care to reinforce the fact that I am extensively trained in combat methods that require no more equipment than what is regularly upon my person. In addition, I also an unhindered and full access to the weapons arsenal of the Marine Corps under the United States of America. With said arsenal, I will be able transport you away from this continent. Had you been able to see with foresight the fact that I would react aggressively and to this extent at your original statement, perhaps you would have refrained from making the aforementioned statement. However, without the ability to fully comprehend the consequences place upon you for your actions, you decided, through your volition, that you would bestow upon my offensive words that were intended to be derogatory when directed upon me. Therefore, you will now have to continue on with the consequences of the actions you have made. The consequences I refer to include ending your existence. Therefore, it is within my pride and honesty to declare that you will soon find yourself deceased.
Thanks Chatgpt.
Lmao
It is fun to write sentences like these, but the amount of clear effort it took to write makes it come off like you’re trying too hard. Good practice nonetheless.
haha
I came here after watching your other video about why we can't articulate well. Thank you for the perspective. I have some things to consider and modify in my day to day.
