Some speakers used indirect speech with their audiences and people had to figure them out. Then, participants received different meaning after the event is over. This video gave the best answer.
Excellent video. I teach non native speaker’s how to speak English. 😊
Don't use fancy vocabulary words - you made my day. It will help me in learning English. Thanks a lot.👍
I love this tip, thanks Alex!
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🤗
Thank you so much.
I always thought it was the opposite way that is the right way but this was helpful and it makes sense
Thank you sir
beautifully explained, thank you... 🙏
You're most welcome.
Communication level up + 💓
Wow. Thanks for sharing. Subscribed. 😊
Welcome!
I agree with opting for clarity in communication. But "bigger words" can (1) pack in more meaning than simpler words and (2) add precision. It can be used to sound smart, but the context matters.
You are correct on both counts. However, the issue is that big words, more often than not, lead to misunderstandings. On balance, the plain version of words have more advantages overall. If a big word can't be swapped out, then by all means use it. But 90% of the time, a simpler word is more effective when we put our listeners' needs first.
Thanks for this valuable video, I can speak 20 languages now
Keep it up! Maybe you'll achieve 40!
Thank you so much for your videos! Just an idea -- What about a video series to study and analyse the body language of famous personalities? Of course that's not a new concept, but I think you would be the best at doing this!
Hm. I'll give that some thought. Thanks for the suggestion.
I like this format of your videos, collabing is good too, but you alone can retain attention on points better in my opinion
Thank you. Most of my videos are solo over the long run. I mix in collaborative videos to mix it up and because I value what my guests bring to the conversation. But this series I just kicked off will be 5 solo videos on clear and confident communication. I hope you enjoy them!
Thanks Alex this was amazing . So just talking normally works ? Got it .
Yes, talk normally. Well put.
Great video! I like Richard Feynman’s paraphrase you added as a Senior myself I agree with it. I do have a question, when is it best then to add a fancy word without it trying to come as smart or to camouflage the sentiment I may be stating?
My question is why would you be looking to add a fancy word? What is the benefit to listeners? If you desire to use a fancy word purely for your own reasons, then I'd recommend limiting it to once per conversation. But my questions above are real. I think it's important to understand our own motivation. The video is about how to communicate clearly and concisely. In that light, I'd say the only reason to use a fancy word is if it's absolutely necessary.
@@alexanderlyon Ok, that makes sense. Thank you for explaining it.

It should be problematic not problematical
Utilize, instead of use.😅
Yup. I almost put that example in. People love to say utilize even when it adds nothing.
@@alexanderlyonThey don't understand the difference between the 2.
Ok, but if you want to get even bigger effect, do use fancy words but intentionally wrongly. People will laugh what means that they understood you. eg "according to my constellation (instead of experience) etc
I've seen that done and it can be very funny. But I'd only recommend it if somebody has the personality to pull it off. If they're naturally funny, then it could be a great use of humor.
Can you react to Obama speech
No, I don't react to politicians speeches. It's not an area of passion for me.
For POV I said point of view and immediately thought about my dirty mind .
I figured most people would think point of view. But I could have chosen lots of other examples of short-hand that can mean multiple things to listeners.
Thank you sir
