Extremely difficult expression: How you explain "how to tie a tie - Winsor knot

Please kindly explain how to tie a tie (Winsor knot style) in English.

This may be an extremely difficult expression for those learning English as a second language and their original language is quite different from a European language.

Hi, Would you like to try, first? If you are not familiar with a Windsor knot, just explain how to tie your shoelace. It will be good practice for your English.

What a lovely fashion you reply, Clive !!!

If I can, I would not post it.

Frankly, I did not even know the word "shoelace."

Incidentally, Clive, you will make a great politician.

"Why didn't I try Google ?" Because I think all of the website explanation is incomplete from learning a language point of view, as they are in fact commented with pictures. I wish I can express without gesture how to use a lipstick some day.
