- Sometimes, speaking English is really easy.

Hello, I'm Julian Northbrook here today with another

It is one with no simple answer, however,

because it really depends on a lot of factors.

There are a range of reasons why you may find

one conversation pretty straight forward and pretty easy

For example, is it a topic you are familiar with

versus a topic you are very unfamiliar with?

Different topics use slightly different words,

well, you're gonna struggle to understand

More, it also depends to a certain extent

Some people are gonna be easier for you to talk to, again,

Whereas some people may use speaking styles

and therefore are gonna find it harder to understand

There's also something that we call cognitive load,

which is one of the five elements of fluency.

You see, we tend to think of fluency as being a single thing

Cognitive load actually isn't really specific to language,

rather is more to do with what's actually happening

Simply put, if a lot of things are happening

your brain's power will be spread out across several things

and you're gonna find it much, much harder

and that is gonna free up the brain's RAM, as it were,

for you to just engage in the conversation.

or don't feel so confident or you are getting flustered

because you're speaking with someone you don't know,

and oh my god, things are getting really hard,

to speak in that situation because suddenly,

your brain is trying to fight a lot of different fires

and it's not able to allocate enough RAM to your speaking.

Again, this is a somewhat simplistic answer

are the three of the biggest most common of them.

dear video watcher, leave it in the comments

If you hated it, give it a thumbs up anyway

and I'll see you, my friend, in the next one.
