Speaking was one of my weakest skills, so I started streaming. I speak way smoother now.

The dude is lying down but the phone is not on the same angle, so he’s watching it sideways?

Pons_Aelius,

Have you never watched Tv while lying on a couch?

scytale,

Yeah, but the implication here is that the phone is capable of rotating, unlike a tv. I get it though, if they don’t want to watch a landscape video in portrait.

You can turn the whole phone? You don’t have to watch the landscape video in portrait.

I don’t really use my TV, but spend a lot of time watching TV lying down. I turn my phone so it’s facing the right way for me to see, though I get it would be a lot harder to get the cat to hold it upright.

I usually try to misinterpret my sentences as hard as possible before posting.

It also works for program comments, I don't know how the fuck some text can seem to be almost perfect one moment and be totally useless garbage next time I find it.

I have found that reading challenging texts out loud has helped my writing, reading, listening, and speaking.

People mock me for it. But it develops an active vocabulary faster than anything that I have stumbled upon for myself.

goldgate,

Pls elaborate, what types of challenging texts, some examples pls.

Try The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s pretty cool and has some very complex sentences

EisFrei,

For me it was Bad Religion lyrics. 13 year old me would sit down in front of the CD player, booklet in one hand, dictionary in the other. Greg Graffin uses an obscene amount of vocabulary that I haven’t encountered anywhere else.

One example:

The masses are obsequious, contented in their sleep. The vortex of their minds ensconced within the murky deep

connaisseur,

Yeah, insane. And he sings those lines so easily like it was just basic stuff.

I bet you would like Aesop Rock

draughtcyclist,

I’m a native English speaker, and Greg Graffin did more for my vocabulary than public schools ever did.

SolarNialamide,

Lmfao I literally made this meme years ago. I can’t deny they’ve expanded my vocabulary greatly.

captainlezbian,

Garfunkel and Oates are great for it too

tdawg,

I’m a native speaker and even I learned words from reading that

datsritebussy,

“I have found that reading challenging texts aloud has helped me improve my writing, reading, listening, and speaking skills. Some people may mock me for it, but I’ve discovered that it enhances my active vocabulary more quickly than any other method I’ve tried on my own.”

I’ve made some revisions so that English speakers can better understand your text.

queezywheezy,

Totally unnecessary, and bizarrely patronising.

If anybody was struggling to understand that comment then they are not an English speaker…

He’s not looking to be published, he’s just trying to communicate, and doing so very effectively.
